We continue to day the melancholy history ef the Arctic catastrophe. The additional statements that We give are exceedingly interesting, particularly thove given by the passengers who reached this city yesterday afternoon. ‘THE STATE RLECTIONS. The dotails of the elections which have taken picce this week we give in another column. They gtow clearly that the administration of President Pierce has met with a total rout in the three great Btates of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iodiana. The som; arative view of the members of Congress elect thus far will satisfy politicians that the opposi- ton must have a large majority in the next Con- geass, and the doom of the Pierse administration ts therefore sealed. This is not so much owing to the Native ameri an or Koow Nothing movement as the general disgust felt towards the men in power ai Washington. Owing to the agitation of the Ne- Deaska question, the great mrss of the opposition to tle administration will doubtlces be from members of Congress clocted from the Northern and Western Biates. NEWS FROM M&XICO. A telegraphic despatch received in this city yea- terdsy fiom New Orleans states that tie revolu_ ‘tion in Mexico is entirely at an end. THE EUROPEAN MAILS, The steamship Europa arrived st Boston on ‘Whursday evening, and her mails reached this city yesterday afternoon. In another part of today’s paper we give the letter of one of our London cor- zespondents, and sevoral articles from the leading ®orcigo journals, which contaia the details of the mews previously received by telegraph from Halifax. INTE ING PROM HONDURAS. Our Belize (Hon.) correspoudent. writing on the 4th of Oopweuper, Taruisaes some very interesting facis regarding the popular energy manifested by he inhabi ants iu rebuilding their town after the Inte destructive fire, and also of the sufferings which still exist as recorda of that tearful calamity. Tae @rongh: was relieved by copious- rains, which, altnongh beneficial for the transit of an immense mahogany crcp, had carried away the corn ou the Belize river, and thus caused much damage. The Ber Jusn exploit of our government was aniver- wally condemued. Mahogany cuttiag had been highly sneceszinJ, snd about eloven million thousand feet had been brought down, which will have the effect of reducing the price of tle article. A draft for five hundred doliars, signed by the President of the “futer-Oceanio Railway (Hendarian) Com- pany,” had been roturned protested, and it was fhought that this would have a bad effect on the e@redit prestige of the speculation. Crops were Bight. Some further particalars of the lete outrage by a Biate prisoner and convicts, at the mouth of ‘the Gulf of Dolce, are given. LATER FROM SOUTH AM#RICA, A letter of our correspondent at Mortevideo, dated Angust 20th, received yesterday, states that there ‘was no news of importance to send at the time of writing. Freights were low and produce ecarce. A Mist of the vessels in port is given in the shipping eoluma. The United States ship Germantown had mailed three days before for the Falkland Islands, to mettle a question in dispute between the United States Cousul and the government of the Falklands, Sor the imprisonment of Captain Bernsee, of the ship Wourier, of New York. The imprisonment appears to result frem a strong dislike to the citizens of the United States. Every confidence was placed in Captain Lynch that he would range matters ina creditable manner. MISCELLANEOUS. The trial of William Fowkes, for the murder of James Bogan, was commenced yesterday, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, and the case is to be continued to day. A melancholy accident occurred yesterday in the Marge whiskey distilling es‘ablishment of Mesars. Furman & Co., of Williamsburg, by which one man was killed instantly, end two severely if not fatally Smjored. The accident was occasioned by the explo sion of a still. We do not recollect the time when the use of deadly weapons has been more frequently resorted 40 in our city than at present. Bat a few days since ‘we publislied an ac-ountof the shooting of a police- woan by an escaping bargler, and now in another part of the paper we give the particulars of the whooting of aman named Gilforgs,in one cf the uptown wards,on Thursdey evening. in neither instance have the perpetrators of thoee crimes been detected. Acoroner’s inquest was held ;csterday on the body of George Decker, the brakeman on the Har- ‘Jom Railroad who was knocked off the platform of a eer on Thursday evening by an unkuown person. ‘The jary rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts elicited, and a!so recommende1 that the Mayor offer a reward for the detection of the person who committed the outrage. A fire broke out on Thursday night about seven «clock in the residence of John Smith, in Wash- ing'on street, Poughkoepsie. The flames quickly spread to two adjoining buildings, owned by Mr. I. Page, and the three houses, with their contents, were destroyed. Thoextont of the loss was not a eertained, but there was no inearance upon the pro » The farther spread of the conflagration was prevented by the active exertions of the firemen. STATE OF THE MARKETS. Common and medium grades of Stave flour were Jower yesterday, and cloved ata feciine of 124c.9 25e. per barrel. Canadian flour in boad sold as bigh as $781, and was afterwards sold at $3. Sa'cs of prime white Genesee wheat were made at $2 12}, ‘and of good Southera red at $i 68.

New Yors City Congresstonat Candidates. Tn the six Congressional districts of this city, neluding Williamsburg, we shall have no lack of candidates: — Incite Ting ( Waibridge’s district), the eld is a/ili open, Walbsidge positively declines to run; Hart daelinen; but within a week or 9 weshrl! probably have threo or four candidates. Foorr—Mite Walsh, incambent, re-nominated by the hards. Soft cancidste, Slderman Joha Kelly. Whig, 3. L Macomber, K.N. Independent, J. W. Bryce, Nico ar rangemenis for a beautifol quadrangular fight. Mite ts surrounded. Furn Disruer, (Tweed’s)—So"ts renominate him; Hards, PhUip Hamiiton, (a good nomination). Walge, Gcorge H. ¢ndrows, avable, capable, and worthy maa ia every respect; his first appearance in the Congressional arena Know Nothiogs, Thomas R. Whitaey. Tweed must work diligently or he may be crowded oat. Sivm, (Whealer’s istrict)—Hard convention anani. wously renomivate him, Other hards go: up a meeting and nominated Cherles D: Moad. Softa nominate J. Mekeod Murphy, anti-Know Nothing. Whigs, no nomi. nation yet. Wheeler will probably get whig anti- Nebrasha support at the polls. SuveyrR, (Walker’s district)—Hards renominate him. Pefte nominate Wm. D. Kennety. Whigs, Thomas R. Childs, Jr, Some talk that anti Waiker hards will mate z nowivation. “Very pretty fight as it stands’? Wakeman. ards nominate Jamss L Cuctia, nid to be in good standing with the administration, and that tho softs will probably ccalesce upom him; bat “ mighty upeertin.”? Such are the arrangements, thus far, for the Congressional canvass in the six districts of New York city, including Williamsburg. Being in the midst ofa revolution, it is perfectly idle to speculate upon the probable results. In a serub race the slowest bags very frequently win; and in onr November sweepstakes we shall have a regalar hedge and ditch and five-barred gate upon Nebraska, temperance, Catholiciry, m, short boys, lager bier, buld-faced whiskey, and the spoils. We have principles and factions enough for too or three more didates in each district; and for the sake of the fargost Uherty to the soverciga people the Just so. SAND THe News oF ue Ancric.—We have before stated that Mr, Burns neither received or desired any reward for the copy of his statement pubdliched in the Hunacp of Wednesday. We find the foilowing in the-statement of James Cari |, one of the firemen:>— portion of us were teancferced from the Leba- lot boat, Buras made acquatatance with hose in charge of the Doat, and msaagea to indnce them to set him on shore, walle we were kept from laad- ing on the pretence that tho doetor must be Gist sea’ for toimapeet us. Instead of sending for the doctor, they jet Burns yet to the city, and kept ue on bosrd until yes terday morning, when we learned from hoo taen at quaran- tine that we could have made $300 had we been allowed to reach the etiy the previous night Before Burns left us, we reminded him of our desti- tute condition and though®, after his promises, he would give us something; but kis liberality did not stand the test. He mace olf with himself nad the information h3 getberc from us, aud that is the last we hive sean of him. Wo were told yesterday that he made a fine thing out of his shipwreck. 1 hope the pllot boys got some of the gold which he was to share with ug when we got to Quebec. They earned i: This statement speaks for itself, as far as the motive for making it is concerned. An ex- planatory note should have beon appended to it in ycsterday’s paper. It may be well enough to remark that when Mr. Burns left the men at Staten Island, he was as destitute as they were- The pilots have been charged with bringing ) this news to the Heraun office, and selling it to us, The facts of the case are, briefly, as fol- 1 ows:— . After the arrival of the Lebanon, Mr. Burns and eighteen others, saved from ithe Arctic, were put on board a pilot boat, commanded by Captain Peter M. Roff. When Captain Roff arrived at Quarantine with his passengers two were landed (McCabe and Stinson) for the Seemen’s Hospital. The physician at Staten Island refused permission for the others tocome to the city until the next morning. He would allow but one man to come up, Mr. Burns was that man, because he was a bearer of despatches, and had a free pass from Mr. Buchanan. The boatmen being informed that he was very anx- ions to get to the city, volunteered their ser- vices, and he brought his news to this efice, He did not remain in the office a sufficient time for anything to be said about pay, and nothing bas since been safd about it. The pilots, and Mr. Roff particularly, are entitled to the thacks of the public. By his exertions, Mr. Buras was enabled to give the newa to the public during the night. Had he pursued the usual course, itwould not have been reccived uatil noon, and by the way of Halifax. Neither Captain Rof or any other pilot had any thing to do with the dispzition of the news, They worked well to get it here with Mr. Burns, and they have re- ecived nothing but abuse in return. These are the elmple facta in the case. And here we leave the matter. AsticiraTio’ o¥ THE Rectrrocrry Treatr—~ Crear Coan.—We see that Mr. Perley has suc- ceeded ia persuading the administration to pledge themvelves to introduce a measare into Congress to refund all duties paid on colonial fish canght this year: the consideration for the boon being the admission of our fishermen to the inshore fisheries of the colonies previous to the reciprocity treaty coming into force. This is a benefit which will be equally felt by the volo- aial fiehermen and by our consumers. Why should not the same thing be done with coal? The Pennsylvania election ie now over: and the Calinet can afford to act independently of the coal Inverest of that State. If a pledge were given for an application to Congress to refaad the duty paid on foreign coal, we should soon ¢ tobe poylng $7 50 a ton, and the “com. ou” would come down fa thelr views, 1m Lismucr (Cutting’s)—Whigs nominate Abram “Hye Witt Vors Riour Every Tre.”— The Tribune, sperh'ng of tre nomination of Sanford L. Maomber as the whig candidate for Congress from the Fourth di-,. trict, says, that if elected “he wil vor right every time.” We have the meaniig, we thiak, | of this oracle. We unders oud iba’ another | gentleman, whose name was before the couven- | tiov, -was asked quiet y before the balloting | commenced, this Wery extraor ina:y question: | “Will you, it ekceted to Congress, should the election of the next Presicent b> thrown into the Houge, and sheuld Governor Seward be | among tie candidates before that bo iy, vote for ; him av your first amd last cholee f r President of the United States?” The gentiemaa an- ewercd in the negaiive, and was soperseded by the rominee who “ will vote right every time.’’ Very isteresting discovery this, The Presi- dential election will be ascrubrace. No help for it. The friends of Seward calculate at least to run their man, 2s among the three highest, iato the Touse. And they are preparing for that contingency. Nothing like being in good tiae. ' Nesraska Gorse Aweap.—Omaha City, Ne- bratka Territory, promises to be a secoud edi- tion of Chicago and other flourishiag Western cities, the sudden rise and prosperity of which have astonished the civilized world, We have before us a plao of Omaha City, laid ontin lots, numbered from oue up to three bundred and twenty-twe. We have here Jefferson square and Capitol square; Pierce, Marcy, Douglas, Harney, Scott, Jackson, Pacific, Ma zon, California, and other streets, running east and weet, and crossed at right angles by streets numbered from one to twenty-three. The lots will be given to those persons who will im prove them. A brick building for the Territo- rial Legislature is in progress, and various other improvements are under way. Alto- gether the prospects of Omaha City are good. Ho! for Nebraska. Our Nexr Mayor.—Six gentlemen are now fairly in the field for Mayor. They are as fol- lows:— Simon Pure—Augustus Schell. Hord Shell—Fernando Wood. Soft Shell—Fernando Wood. Whig—Jobn J. Herrick. Know Nothing—James W. Barker. Municipal Reform—Wilson G. Hunt. Independent and Clean Streete—John N. Genin. * If the public is not satisficd with this list, we do not know what can be done for them. Six men of such charact&r and standing as the above, all willing to sacrifice their private ease for the public good: who says that patriotism is extinet after this? Cours vo one Porwr—The Richmond En- | yuirer says that “the aet which sectionalizes the North practically dissolves the Union.” Now, will our Virginia cotemporary look over the returns of the late elections, aad tell us what the adminietration party o° the South pro- pose todo? Which do.they propose to aban- don--the Cabinet or the Union? } Buroavway Toxarnh—THe Bowman Gint,.—This theatre wan ogein crowded to overflowing on Thursday night, on the occasion of the production of Balfe’s popuiar opera of the “Bohemian Girl.” ‘The fevoreble inpression orealed by the dret effort of the new company was con- ‘i iby ecmirable manner in which this ploto was ered. Lip oneor two of the subordinate parts we could havo wished that the oxst had been di? “event, the effort on the whole was as complete and satis- faotery as could be desired. The ope-s was splendidly pat ypen the stage, ond the chornses exhibited tt e anme oaretul training and harmony of ensemble wh ced in the first night's pe-fo: mo with har ancicase then apoa on, end, encouraged by the high appreciation nm evinced of her talents, achieved a eecond coers even greater than her first. Nothing could be more exquisite thon the manner in which sho rendered the “gipsy girl’ dream,” to whieli she gave @ voreion pe eoliarly ber own, os remarkable for ths delicate grace of i's style, as it wos for the brillianey of its execution In the suppliestions to her father, and, indeed, throughout the whole of the trying vocaliza- tion of the third act, she displayed an exergy, pathos, and intensity of feeling which carried the audience with her and drow down a perfest tempest of appisuse, Her Artine was the most perfect conception of the part tha: we have ee yet witnessed, and stampe ber as an artist of greot elevation of sentiment, as well as of extraordinary voce! powers. ‘The vole of Thaacens was criginally perfdérmed by Ste. Parrison when the “Bohemian gicl”’ was first brought out at Drary Lane, and to tne excellent manner in which he rendered it, the unprecedented run which the opera had—extending, we believe, over one hundred nighis— was, in a great degree, owing. Eis porforzance of litt night justified the reputation he had achieved init. <f the numerous passages of the opera in which his powers were displayed to advantage, we have only space to no- tice that of “The Fair Land of Poland,” which was given with a spirit and exergy that quite electrified the houre. Ur. Roriani also continues to increase in favor with the publie. He hasa fine voice and exceliont metho’, and could « little more warmth be ia{used into his action, would carry his audisnee more froquently with him His Count Arnheim is one of his most successful perfor mance, and fully merits the high ewlogiums passed onit by tho English press. At the close of the opera Miss Pyne, Mr, Har-ison and Mr. Borrani were called before the curtain to receive the tribute of applause to which their exertions entitled them. Last night the ‘‘Sompambula”’ was ogain repeated to a full house. Traruan Orrna.—On reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that for the remaining perform- ances of Madame Griei and Signor Mario in this elty, the tickets to the parquotte and first tier of boxes, have beon redused to two dollars each, with the priviloge of securing seats without any extra charge. We also un. Cere‘and that the proprictors of the new opera house have caused improvements to be made, and have placed some additional ligh‘s in the buildiog. The favorite operact ‘Ta Sounsmbuls”’ will be played on Monday. h A New Actress ror Warrick’ Miss Rosa Bennett, from the London theatres, hes arrived in this city, and sill shortiy make her debut at Wailack’s theatre, She is a nister to Miss Julia Bonnett, and is said to be pos. sessed of Deauty and talent. There ie a searsity of good comedy sotresses in our thestres, nud we trast fast atlas Bennett will sustain the family reputation. ‘Tur New ExGtixd Expo oy Horses is to come off at Brattetoro’, Vermont, on the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 2Cth days of December.
