EDWIN WILLIAMS, It becomes our painful task'to announce the de wease of Mr. Edwin Williams, an‘attacné of the Henan office. He died at ‘his lodgings at the Union Place Hotel, at ten o’cloeiclast evening, after waffering acu'ely from an attack of cholera in its Most aggravated form. Up ‘to eleven o’clock on Friday, when he retired for the night, he was appa- rently in possession of his usual excellent health. Mr. Williams was a fluent writer; and an industrious compiler of statistical and other works, which have made for him an enduring repntation. His demise will be regretted by a large:circle of warmly-at- tached friends. THE FATE OF SIR JO@N "FRANKLIN. The brief telegraphic deepatel we yesterday pub- lished, relative to the discovery of the remains of the unfortunate Sir Jobn Franklin and bis crew, is worroborated by the details of the sad event which we give to-day, In an editorial article we have given cur views at length of this sad but pot unex: pected termination of an exvedition despatched to solve a problem pronounced by one of the earliest Arctic voyagers to be the only notabie achievement that remained to be accomplished. TEMPERANCE AND POLITICS. We have still another ticket in the field for city and county officers. The temperance men have Bplit, and last evening the. delegates of the dis- affected met in convention, and nominated the fol- lowing ticket :—For Mayor—Wi'son G. Hunt, nomi- nee of the Municipa! Reform Committee ; Recorder— John H. White, nominee of the whiga ; City Judge— Bidney H. Stuart, nomines of the whigs ; Register— H. D. Johnson ; Surrogste— Alexander W. Bradford, nominee of the whigs and municipsl reformers ; Dietrit Attorney—A. Oakey Hall, ditto ditt>; Almsbouee Goverr.or. mes R. Wood, nominee of the whigs ; Comamiszioner of Streets and Lamps— Joseph E. Ebling, in¢eperdent candidate and nomi- pee of the Know Nothings. MORTALITY OF THE CITY. The official report of the City Inspector gives but 447 deaths for the past week, baing 35 leas than th week previous, There were of cholera 22, diarrhaes 28, dysent: » apoplexy 9, atrophia 7, consump: bronchitis 6, dropsy in the head 13, typhus fever 9 inflammation of the brain 8, inflammation of bowels 9, and inflammation of lungs 16. Th: deaths among children amounted to 260, Of these 36 @ied of convulsions, 9 of croup, 10 of cholera in- fantum, 6 of booping cough,25 of marasmus,7 of debility, and 7 of scarlet fever. There were 28 cases of stillborn avd three premature births. We notice five cases of death from old age. The deaths from external causes were—casualities six, drowned one, killed or murdered one, and suicide one. There were fifty-five deaths in ths public institations. 231 were natives of the United States, 64 of Ireland, 46 of Germany, 13 of Evgland, and the remainder of various countries in Europe. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DISPUTE IN KENTUCKY. ‘The difficulty between the trustees of the Catho- lic Church in Newport, Ky., and their bishop, has been adjudicated by the judicial authorities decid- ing that the bishop had a right to appoint the trus- tees ard use the land in dispute for church pur- poses only. The trouble grew out of an attemp: on the part of the bishop to build a schoolhouse without first obtaining the consent of the trastees to use the ground on which it was erected. MISCELLANEOUS. The investigation before Judge Ingraham into tho charges preferred against Mr. Dyckman, Register of this city, was continued yestercay. The act of the Massachusetts Legislature autho- rizing the annexation of Charlestown to Boston, and which has been accepted by the votes of both cities, bas been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme ‘Court of that State. The steamship Osprey reached Philadelphia yes, torday, with the passengers of the steamship City of Philadelphia. The p:opeller Osprey also arrived with s portion of the cargo of the wrecked veasel. It is gratifying to learn that the yellow fever which has raged so virulently at the South for seve! ral weeks past, is gradually disappearing before the advance of cool weather and the frost. STATISTICS OF EMIGRATION. The abstiact of the report of the English Emigra tion Commizsiouers, which we publish elsewhere, is exceecingly interesting. The average emigration from Great Britain for the last seven years has been 303,033 annually, or 2,121,231; while for the pre- vious thirty-two years it amounted to only 1,672,292. Tiere has been a decrease in emigration to this country during the past two years, but there has ‘been an increase in that to the British North Ameri can provinces, owing, perhaps, to the fact that the Price of passage to the latter ia at all times some. what lees thantothe former. The emigrants to the Provinces usually at first make their way to the United Statee, especially those of the laboring class, which of course is by far the most numerous; bat many of them retrace their steps and eventually be- come permanent settlers in Canada, the upper pro vince generally having the preferenee over the lower on account of the large admixture of native Canadian French in the latter, and for other reasons of a mor substantial nature. It is to beregretted that we have no means of ascertaining the precise number of Euro- peans that return to the Old Country from the United States, and we trast measures will shortly be adopted by cur government which will put the public in possession of information regarjing this peculiar drift of the world’s floating population. The report alluded to also gives the ascertained amount of money remit‘ed from North America tc Great Britain by emigrants. From 1848 to 1353 Aieee remittances reached the euormous sum of £590,000, or nearly twenty nine million dollars; and this is only the amount sent through the pria- #ipol banki:g axd mercantile houses, leaving en. tirely out of the account the ejually enormous sam vs premitted by private channels.

We are forced to believe that even these great elements of success were powerless against the éstasles with which he had to contend. As was supposed by those best informed on the subjuct, he succumbed to cold and hunger in'the spring of 1850, more than four years ago. ‘He'nad set sail with the Ere- bus and Terror,‘ard 138 men, on 25th ef May, 1845, and was }est seen by a whaler on the 26th July of the same year. Three years elapsed’ 1 without tidings; and his friends, becoming anx- ious, prevailed upon the British government to send out three separate expeditions fa search of him. Allthree returned home witheut ac- complishing anything, before Sir Jchn died. Other expeditions were fitted out, and> sailed with the best hopes of the civilized world. One of them, consisting of two vessels admirably suited for the enterprise, was originated, and the ships supplied by Henry Grinnell of this city. But still no tidings came, and one by one the expeditions returned, with thinued crews and heavy hearts. In the search, Captain Me. Clure stumbled upon the northwest passage, and Dr. Kane and others made valuable addi- tions to our stock of seience: bat these gains were purchased at such a cost, and the chances of attaining the main object of the expeditions soon became so distant, that the British Admi- ralty resolved to discontinue the search, and re- call its ships. Steamers were subsequently despatched with provisions for the absent expe- ditions: but for some time, no fresh vessels have been sent out to look for Sir Joho Franklin. Three of those which bad sailed previously— the Investigator, Resolute, and As-istance— have, it is believed, been lost: their captaios returned to England in the Phenix. The ves- sels still absent on the search—the Advance, Captain Kane, and the Eaterprise, Captain Col linson—will, it is to be hoped, meet a hnppier fate. There wére many people, even in 1850, who regarded the search as fruitless; yet see how narrowly McClure missed Sir John. In July, 1850, he parted from the Herald off Cape Lilburne, stood towards the N.N.W., and spent the whole month of July in coasting to the eastward. Probably at the very same time, Sir John Franklin and his companions were dying at the mouth of Fox river. This is, we trust, the last of the Arctic expa- ditions. For such men as McClure, Kane, and Beecher, it is impossible not to feel. high ad- miration: their purpose is noble, their manner of carrying it out pregnant with self-devotion and heroism. But at the same time, the prac- tical benefits which can flow from such an appli- cation of these high qualities can in no wise balance the risk at which they are gained. For the very reason that Kane and McClure are gallant spirits, we desire to see them placed in a position where their rare e:dowments may be of signal service. to the world, and regret that so many precious years of their lives shoul? be spent in adesolate ice bound prison. A few sparse scientific discoveries could not compen- sate us for the loss of either of them: and it must now be obvious to the most obstinate, that for all purposes of commerce, the Arctic regions might as well have remained what nature seems to have intended they should be—a sealed book. Moun- tains of the precious metals would be safe from the hand of man if they lay within “the pack.” That Dr. Kane will bring home many valuable additions to our scientific repository there is no room for doubting; and with the knowledge he has of the region he has undertaken to ex- plore, no serious apprehensions regarding his safety need be entertained. But when he re- turns, our voice shall be raised agaiast any fu- ture expeditions of the like nature. Those parts of the world which were intend- ed for man and not for walruses contain many a nook and cranny that has never been properly explored. There are many savage tribes in the islands of the coast of Asia for instance, which would be infinitely benefited by a visit from Dr. Kane, with proposals for the introduc- tion of free trade and humanity among them. Every fresh volume of travels brings to light some new region with which we might advan- tageously open commercial relations, and thus extend the spread of civilization and Christi- anity throughout the world. It is on enter- prises of this nature that men of the rare stamp of our Arctic navigators shauld be employed. Their risk would be less; the gain greater. It will be time enough to bury our gallant spirits in the Polar ice when every schoolboy is fa- miliar with the temperate zone, and when there is not a mineral region or a fertile agricultural tract within its limits, that the hand of man is not employed in developing to the fullest extent. Seriixe Our a Navy Yarp—The Naval Agent at Memphis, Tennessee, advertises to be sold to the highest bidder, on the first day of November, all the movable public property be- longing to the Navy Yard at the said place, consisting of an immense schedule of hemp, tar, building materials, machines, tools, furnitare, horses, wagons, artillery, &c., in pursuance of the late act of Congress, surrendering the said Navy Yard asa free gift to the city of Memphis. So much for a Navy Yard established “above the point of the yellow fever ; and too far up to be reached by the enemy in time of war.” Tax Case or THe Arcttc.—We have not yet heard of any steps being taken to ascertain offi- cially what the conduct of the crew of the Arc- tic really was during her shipwreck. Has the company instituted no inquiry? Cannot the Distriet Attorney contrive to institute some sort of inquest into the cause of so many deaths? We should now think soberly on the matter, and seo what remains to be done, born Em;lishman, and hence the‘combination of Know Wothings, and Amerieans, English, Irish and: German democrats, ‘Catholics-‘and Protes- tants. in support of Mott.

In the defeat of Chandler for Congress they couspired against a native; and ia voting fora Judge of their own they secured the election ot ademocrat. As faras the Know Nothings are themselves corcerned in the results of the Pennsylvania election, the exact point at which they have arrived is ‘Point no Point,” and we suspect that with Ullman and Scraggs as their standard bearers, they wifi come out at pre- cisely the same point in New York. Mr. Soute in More Trovpiz.—Our Minister at Madrid seems likely to make himself remem- bered there. The letter which he addressed to the editor of the Diario Espanol on the eve ot his departure from Madrid has already been republished in most of our journals from the Mesager de Bayonne, in which it some how found its way just as M. Soulé was crosang the frontier: we now give the reply of the editor of the Diario at full length. ,, The public will form their own opinion upon the contro- versy. One point is clear: the Spaniard decidedly the advantage in point of argument, coolness and courtesy. What may have been the nature of M. Soulé’s relations with the Madrid insurgents we have yet to learn: but it is quite clear that he who, to achieve any use- ful purpose for his country, ought to have contrived to render himeelf as popular as he could, has, on the contrary, wounded the sus- ceptibility of the Spanish people, and wound up by rendering himself so unpopular that he felt it best to leave Madrid. In every particular our predictions respecting the issue of M. Soulé’s mission to Spain seem likely to be con- firmed. We wanted an ambassador there, we have sent a matador. Ocr Mmisters Resment.—Among the im- portant items of news breught by the Africa, is the announcement that Mr. Henry Ja¥kson, the American Minister to Austria, ‘bas been pro moted from a simple charge to the rank of mit.- ister resident.” The other day a similar fact was duly chronicled regarding an American charge to one of the petty South American governments. For fear Kossuth or George Sanders might be alarmed or imdignant at the idea that the United States have made this change in Mr. Jackson’s position out of regard to Aus- tria, we deem it proper to state that at the last session of Congress @ clause was inserted in the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill, abolish- ing the grade of charge-d’affaires and substita- ting therefor, in every instance, that of “minis- ter resident,’’ without, however, any increase ofsalary. This change was made soasto enable all our representatives abroad to present their credentials to and hold direct intercourse with the head of the government rear which they were resident, instead of, as in the case of charge d’affaires, being officially recognised only by the Minister of Foreign Relations. Wowen’s Riguts.—While most of the women’s rights women for some days past have been making speeches at a convention at Philadel- phia, in behalf of their rights, a “bright particu- lar star’’ of the sisterhood has been settling the question for herself in the old-fashioned way :— Maxnizo—At Carmel, N. ¥., on Toesday, October 17, by the Kev. H. G. Livingston, ‘Dr. James H. Merritt to Miss Antoinette Browne. Thus, we presume, the younger sisters of the women’s rights societies will drop off as the older ones disappear, until the last ot the Bloomers “is left blooming alone.” APPROPRIATIONS OF THE Last ConGREss.— The following are the official totals of thé de- finite appropriations of the last Congress:— Civil, diplomatic and miscellaneous. ......$15,044,862 44 army, fortifications, Military Academy, cc. 11/373,568 90 Indian Department, naval, revolutionary” and other pensio 8,064,686 19 Naval service...... + 12,610,808 46 Post Office Department. + 11,298,909 63 Treaty with Mexico, + 10,000,000 00 Total ore + + $05,107,825 62 Add to these the indefinite appropriations— at least five millions—and the aggregate for the late session will be a trifle over seventy millions of dollars. Upon this basis for the Peace establishment, what will be our yearly expenses in the event of a war with England: about Greytown, or with France, England and Spain about the island of Cuba? And is not the Cabinet full of war? Let the people, ther, prepare—first, for a considerable crash.among the banks, and then for direct taxes to support the administration. Democratic Harwoxy Arter tHe Exec- Troxs.—The Galena (Illinois) Jeffersonian, a democratic paper, thus speaks of Gov.

Baawerr, Eprror New York HERALD:— Sine Your printed card of the 4th inst., addressed to we sefecretary of State, and making inquiry in relation to the ‘Texas for the present year, was received mail. My answer must be general ta ite cha of such information as will ‘enable me to enter {nto details. I oan only say tasd the drought which has prevailed so generally throughout the States of our Unicn, did not exist to any great extent in Texas. In fact there has been too much rain in all the const counties, and extending into the interior for a d tance of eighty ora hundred miles. In many counties the crops of cotton have been materially injared from this cause. Throughout western Tex.s exops of cora and toes are very fine—better, I think, they usually are The same may be sald of those in esatern Texas From the best information I can get, I have no doubt that the crops of corn and potatoes will exceed the average yield. That of cotton, owing to the excessive rains which have prevailed through the lower connt‘es border- ing on the Gulf, and in which it ia most extensively grown will not, in all probability. be equal to the average crop. Very respectfully, your ob’t servant, 'AUMAS A. DUVAL, Late sec’y of Sta'e. INDIANA. Brusrot, Elkhart Co, Ind , Oct. 12, 1854. J. G. Buynerr, }8q. DEAR :1R—Ubeerving statements in your parer from different rections of the country, indices me to drop you a few lines which you can publish if it will be of any ser- vice to the community at large. The wheat crop ia this county in more than an average crop, and mush beter ‘then last year, many farmers say their crops never was Vetter, (wheat now sell § at eight suillings per busbel). The corn crop was affested a little by the dry weather; but the crop ii more than an average one—better than last. year; then the corn crop was much dem»zed by the frost. This year the corn crop has been g+* s sound state, and uninjured by the frost. Tne potatoe crop was ‘tly injured by the drought; but notwith. stancing the crop is an averege one, are selling here at 87% ¢. to 50e per bushel From information upon the sutject, which I think is relia‘le, in the northern tier of counties m this State the crops are good. At Ls Laporte county, the crops never were better; a decoe of the fact, at the depot, on the line of the M. N. I, Pailrosd Co, at Laporte, from ten to fifteen thou- sand bushels of corn and wheat have been taken in in one day for many days in succession. Many farmers in this section bave not threshed their wheat, and many are holding on for higher prices. Respectfully qe rs, KLIN. MeetING or THE Ware ann Biack Dovetas. —Our last exchanges from Illinois inform us that at a public meeting appointed to be ad- dressed by Senator Douglas, (white man,) it had been arranged by the opposition to put in a reply from the lips of Fred Douglass, (black man). Subject—The Nebraska bill and the slavery question generally. Such a meeting, and such a discussion on the stump, between the white and the black Douglas, cannot fail to be intensely interesting and funny. Greeley, also, is said to be en route to the scene of action, as a bottle-holder. Hear! Hear! Notices of New Publications. SourHERN QuarTeRLy Rgevigw.—The Octob:r number of this excellent pericdical makes its ap- pearance with a sort of apologetic preface, deprecat ing the criticism of its readers. It appears that in consequence of the ravages of the late epidemic in Charleston, the proprietors of the work were com- pelled to publish the present number in Colambia, and that in consequence several articles of superior in- terest, which had been prepared for it, were misplaced, and others substituted that were more immediately within reach. As frequently happens in such cases, if the suggestionof anticipated deficiencies had not been made to us, we should not have noticed any falling of, for the number before us is scarcely if at ‘| all-inferior to any of its predecessors, The opening article, ‘On the Unity of the Human Race,” dis- plays a thorough acquaintance with ethnological acience, and reviews ina spirit of calm and dispas sionate criticism the flagrant theories of “The Types of Mankind.” The article “On Mar- siage aud Divorce,” has for object to show that we have fallen behind the European States in onr legislation on this subject, and that the.claims of religion, morality and sound policy demand a total change in the principles of our laws, Whilst we concur in most of the writer's views, we must guard ourselves sgainst being supposed to hold in any great degree of respect European legielation in the matter of divorce, the unfair ope. ration of which as regards the poorer classes may well be balanced against the evils of our own code, “The Prospects and Policy of the South” are ably handled by a writer who is eminently conservative in his opinions, and who seems to incline to the Principles, if principles they can be called, which are now uniting in the bonds of secret organizations the elementa of a new and powerful party. In the article entitled “Northern Periodicals versus the South, ” the inconsistencies of some of our pseudo- literary contemporaries are rather severely handled, and the conclusions to which they tend may be found of some assistance in the controversy now pending on the merits of the political pretensions which they have lately advanced. Garrett & Co. have just published a neat little volume, entitled ‘The Lady’s Complete Guide to Crotchet and Fancy Knitting,” by Mrs. Anne 8, Stephens, the author of Fashion and Famine. This useful work contains not only the clearest elemen- tary instructions for the most complicated patterns in crotchet and knitting, but also for every kind of fancy needlefrork. It is profusely illustrated by diagrams, The same publishers have also ready the third edition of “ The Cabin Boy’s Story,” a tale which seems likely to have an extended run, from its local allusions and absorbing interest. There are few modern works of fiction the perusal of which has given us more pleasure. The Turf. UNION COURSE, L. I.—TROTTING. A trotting match for $200, mile heats, best three in five, came off yesterday afternoon, between b. g. Jake Frear and g. g.
