Pne 4 LATER CALIFORNIA AND OREGON NEWS. ‘The United States: mail steamship George Law arrived yesterday at noon, with the California mails to the Ist October and one miliion in gold. The Btar of the West, of the Nicaragua lise, arcived in the afternoon, with nea a millon more. Ths enief iicms of news by t val are the murders ef whites b. the Soake Indi Oregon, aad also by the Apaches in the Gadsden 2t, sonth of the Colorado. "hese massa res transpired at nearly ths same time, and one huodred lives were taken by the treacherous Indians. We have commeated on these occurrences in another place, Ai! tho elex tion returas in California had not been received, but it seemed that Messrs. Denver and Herbert, Gaéministration demrcra's,) had beea elected to Congress by t vo th usand majority, and,that Beacd, Qwhig) had beaten Leake, hia democratic com petitor for the Clerkship of the Sapreme Cour’, ‘The news fro:n the mines iy g*nerally favorable, although dry veatner had interfered with operations ia some districte. The whea* crop is said to be un usually good, aud business haa taken a lively turn. The Chioese immigration was kept up, vver one thousand having srrived the two weeks previons to ‘the sailing of the steameis. By these arrivals we have likewise received later news from the Sandwich Islaads, New Granada, and the Pavific, but we cannot do more than refer % the copious details in another part of the paper. EUROPEAN ‘AFFAIRS. In another part of our paper wil! be found the text of the Conde de Montemolin’s manifesto to his partizans in Spain. From its publication in the Monitcur, it would seem as if the French Emperor ‘was not indisposed to contribute to the embarrass- ments of the present government, with a view, perhaps, to future intervention in the affairs of Spain. The congress of American diplomatists, which is now being held at Ostend, is exciting con- siderable attent’on in the political world, as will be seen by the letter of our correspondent. Th: news of the loss of the steamship Arctic created 2 pro found sensation in Eogland. We give an article on the eubject from a L»ndon paper. POLITICAL AFFATRS. To the general reader the most interesting feature of cur political news this morn‘ng is the adJress of the Muniipe! Reform Committee. Is describes vividly and graphically the demoralization that pe: vades the political arena of the metropolis—it is, in point of fact,a sort of ompendium of New York Politics by gaslight, written by one who evidently “knows the ropes.” Such docaments are valuable * additions to the literature of the day, asd we there- fore give them the benefit of the circulation of the BEnary. We give also s report of a meeting of the Reform Committee in the Eighteenth ward, where it s:ems this immaculate party have formed a coalition with the Know Nothings. This movement caused of course come disgust on the part of those who be- lieved in the promises made by the reformers last year, that they would nct unite or work with any political organization, and rather a warm debate ensued. See the report. The National Democratic Young Men’s Clab held ® meeting last evening, and adopted resolutions complimenting Mr. Schell and ratifying the nomi- nation of Wilson J.Hunt for Mayor. © THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW. In the Legislative Assembly at Qa-bec on Thurs. @ay a stringent bill to prohibit the manufactare and sale of intoxica'ing liquors passed to a second reading by a almost unanimous vote. Throughout Massachussetts the advocates of pro- hibition sare very active, and vigorous efforts are being made to enforce the law against liquor dealers. ‘The penalty for a first conviction is a severe one, ‘being one hundred dollars fine, and heavy bonds to discontinue the traffic. SHARP FINANCIERING. * From proceedings before the police anthorities yesterday, it appears that certain parties in this city have recently issued about one bundred thou- sand dollars « orth or what purports to be bills of the ‘Merchants’ Exchange Bank, Anacosta, District of Columbia.” These similitades of bank paper, as i ie alleged, have been principally circulated in Arkansas, Ohio, and other Western States, and it i, ‘not improbable that a large number of them are floating about in this city, They are signed F. KE. Cartis, as cashier, and H. Dewey, as president. We give elsewhere @ description of them, so that people may become familiar with their appearance, on the same principle thet our Chief of Police o3:asi nally in @ crowé arrests & notorivus pickpocket and parades him before the audience. The agency o the institution has heretofore been held at No. 60 William street, bat for certsin causes, which are now being investigated, the personal property of the establishmen’ has been transferred to the police Office, and one of its managerial props awaits in thr Tombs the course of events. The report of the ia ‘vestigation which we publish is worthy of atten # on, as it furnishes an instance of flaancial address weliom excelled. MISCELLANEOUS. The receipt of the racent Harops a w2 x New Sle.a Sle. Ryeeold at $120. Farley was scarce ® ad high. Cotten was ful a jc. easier on some grades, with mederate sales. A sale of new rico will be noticed in the city trade report, which is among the first of the season. Lead again slightly advanced, with sales of Spanish at $6 25 per hun- dred pounds. Some difference of opiniou prevails regarding the :tock o’ wheat in the interior. Some contend that it is moderate or deficient, while the greater number c@tend that it is mach larger than it wis at this period last year. With few excep- tions, in favor of certain districts of country, the crop isa full one, if not in excess of an averag , and mostly secured in good order before the August drought set in to do it serious ivjury. The crop in Canada is also Jarge, and of good quality. With these facts in view, the light receipts and high prices in the !ace of reduced exports has surprised many persons; and the enig- ma can only be explained oa the ground that the farmers, being in easy circum- stances, and busy with the fall crops, have not been as active in forwarding their supplies as usual. The receipts of corn have been in excess, yet, with ‘a good local and shipping demand, prices have been well maintained. Messrs. Hoffman & Co. offered 4,300 bags of Rio coffee yesterday at suction, but 1,000 were witb- drawn, and 3,300 sold at 9\c. alle., average 10 8 100c. per Ib, which exhibited a decline of jc. a de. per Ib. The sales of dry goods at auction yes'erday were light. Meesrs. Van Wyck, Kcbbe & Townsend held a moderate catalogue sale of foreign and domestic broadcloths, cassimeres and tailoring goods, which were, with few exceptions, all sold at fair prices, compared with other sales of the season. The Seward Coalitioniits and their Princl- ples= The B. Closed up—A New Move. The adoption of Clark by the anti-renters a3 their candidate for Governor closes up the coalition ranks of Sewardism, and thus they stand:— i 1, The Seward free soil snd srctional whigs, 2. the Saratoga anti s'avery fusionlets of ail parties. 3 The free oilers proper, o' the Van Buren and But- falo nehcol. 4 The State temperazce or Maine law alliznsé 5 ‘the ultra Maine law party of the Carson Lesgue. 6. The women’s rights wawen. 7. the Anti Renters. 1. The grand object of the Seward free soil sectional whigs is the organization of an over- whelming Northern anti-slavery alliance, and through this seditious combination of disorgan- izers the election of Seward to the Presidenoy in 1856, union or disunion. 2. Under the management of W: C. Bryant, Benjamin F. Butler, Thurlow Weed, Horace Grecley, H. J. Raymond and others, the Sara: toga fusion movement was made fhe bacis of active operations for the merging of the North- ern whigs into the general league of the free soilers and abolitionists, of all parties and fac- tions, 3. The adoption of Clark by the Birney, Van Buren Buffalo free soilers is a ratificatioa on their part ef the Holy Alliance. They voiun- teer as mercenaries, now, in the hope of a con- trolling hand in the game for the Presidency, 4. The State Temperance Alliance adopt the whig coalition ticket in behalf of a prohibitory liquor law as the paramount question, regard- ing with absolute indifference the disunion tendencies of the Presidential scheme of Seward and bis pipe-layere. The temperance league, in a word, have sold ou‘ their national principles, taking as a receipt in fall, the prc- mise that the peo, le of New York shall be co- erced into sobriety through the search warrant espionage of the Maine jiquor jaw. Th-y re- gard the blessing of having a gang of police officers thrust into a man’s house at any hour of the day or the night, to look for liquor, as the one great issue of thecanvass, The Seward alliance have promised this boon, and the tem- perance party, in a State Convention, have, therefore, adopted the Seward ticket. The temperance platform is to compel everybody to be sober, by requiring of every man a medical certificate that he is in need of a glass of liquor before he is permitted to drink it, and by limit ing al sales to the drug stores. This is but an incidental feature of the Seward programme, but is adopted for something more than the temporary purposes of the election. It was at first intended, no doubt, as a direct blow against the Irish and Germans, under the idea that by thus driving a large number of them ont 0° the city and out of the State, the demovratic vote in our elections wou'd be materially diminished. 5. The Carson League is but a branch of the general Maine law party, with a separate or- ganization, to be sure, but practically a batta- lion of the common army. . 6. The Women’s Rights women support th Seward cause on the temperance question, and because their restless philanthropy in behalf of the slaves of the South, and their wrath and vows of vengeance against the slaveholders tally precisely with the revolutionary tenden- cies of the Seward programme. 7. The anti-renters are a body of agricultu- rists in several of the counties round about Albany, who have lived so long upon the lands ot other people as to believe that they have thus secured the righ. to hold and cul:ivate them as upon a fee simple. They have fre- quently combined, in the disguise of Indians, to assassinate or tar and feather the officers of the law sent among them for the collection of their rents. The principles of the Seward coali- tion being nearest their own of any party in the field they have very naturally adopted the Seward candidate for Governor. Such is the Seward coalition. It rests upon two great issues—one !ocal, the other national —a probibitory liquor law, and war to the knife sgainst the Sonth and the institution of slavery. We regard all other issues as second- ary, and as comparatively ins‘ gnificant in the fece of the projected anti-slavery crusade against the South in the next Presidential eleo- tion ; and we hold it to be the first duty of ail Union, constitutional, and law-abiding mon, of all the enemies of sectional discord and dis- anion, to direct their action, first and last, against the Seward disunion ooatition. A week may bring about a great change in the present aspects of the sanvass—a revola tion in fact. Who kcows?

ANoTHER Exc1is8 Orga Company —Mr. Niblo is ex- pected to arrive in the steamship Pacific, aad be is ac companied by ac mplete Euglish opera company, select- ed expresely for Niblo’s Garden The troupe consists of Mie. Dolores Narr, prima donna of the firat rank, whose success in London was only equalled by hor trinampbs in phic Order, which had been bestowed on Sir John Franklin, who was K.C. H., and not K. C.B. Thus the relics are clearly proved to bave been the property of the officers of the Erebus. ‘The officers of the Terror were:— Onptain.... T. RM, Crozier. Lieurenant, Edward Little. Lieutenant, G. H Hofgson. \-euterant, vin| Assistant Surgeon Second Mester Paymaster... Both from the numbers of the crews and from the fact that the crests of the officers of the Terror are wholly different from any given a3 yet by Dr. Rac, as well as from the very natu- ral supposition that parties pressed for food and among peaceable Esquimaux would rather di- vide than unite, it does not seem to us that the fate of all that gallant band of navigators is clearly ascertained. The mere coincidence of one initial on a spoon (A. McD.”) is not suf- ficient to disprove this. There may have been men on board the Erebus with a similar name, or the assistant surgeon from one vessel, owing to lozs by death, may have been transferred to the other. It will be recollected that, accord- ing to the account given by the Esquimaux to Dr. Rae, a party of white men, some forty ia bumber, were first seen in the spring of 1850 travelling south on the north shore of Prince William’s Land. It was later in the same sea- son that the bodies of twenty-five of Sir John Franklin’s crew were discovered near Back’s river, only twelvt days journey from one of the Hudson Bay Company’s outposts, This, we confess, throws a suepicion on the truth of the Esquimavx story. But, at ail events, consider- ing the short space of time that elapsed, aad knowing from the account of the Esquimaux themeelves that the men on Prince William’s Land had it in their power to kill seals if great- ly pressed with bunger, we cannot believe that they were the same party which died of starvi+ tion, and whose remains were subsequently dis- covered. Though the death of Sir John Frank- lin may be considered as “beyond a doubt, the fate of many ofhis gallant associates still re- mains to be disclosed. . The probability is, that in separate parties they endeavored to make their way over those frozen inhospitanle deserts. One party has succambed to famine and fatigue, and after such a long lapse of time it would be a vain hope indeed to suppose that the others have fared better. Dante. Urtman Two Montus Aco.—The following letter of the “New York Central Whig Association” certainly speaks well of the political antecedents and principles of Daniel Ullman, as late as the first of August:— New York, Tuesday, Avgust 1, 1854. £im—The ‘‘ New York Central Associatim’? desire to bring to your rotice the name of Daniel U.lman as s candidate to be supported for the office of Governor by the next Whig State Convention I: is very necersar) that the person ncminated by the whigs for that high office ahou'd be one in whom the whole purty bas cont dence. Mr. Ullman has that position. bislifeis « pladge that if elected he will carry out our cherished prinsi- ples. He {s entirely identified with all our favorite met- sures. He has always been an earnest advocate for the speedy emargement of our canals—he is now a determined oppenent of the Nebrasha-Kanses bill The welfere of the State requires that a man of his steadfast principles should be elevated to the Cnief Ma. gistracy. He is the man for the times. He is popular, as bis great vote for Attorney-G:neral shows. Noman can more readily unite and cement the party—besi: something is due to him. His magnanimous withdrawi in favor of Mr, Hant in 1852 de.erves favorable consid+ eration. In this city he would be supported with the enthusiasm which his brilliant talents, unimpeached in- tegrity and lofty patriotiem merit.

The Seward organs will have it that Ullman is no longer ‘ popular,” that he is not “the man for the times,” an@ that instead of possessing “brilliant talents, unimpeached integrity, and lofty patriotiem,’”’ he is a Hindoo, a Pagan, :p Israelite, a German, and swears in broken Eng- lish. Let the whig circular of August go with these whig accusations of October. It is a family quarrel, we know; but we s'all insist upon fair play. Hornw.e Murpers on THE WesTERN FRon- TreR—A Catt ror Troors.—We publish to- day accounts of massacres by the Snake In- dians in Oregon, near Fort Boise, and also the reported murder of fifty Ameri- cans, emigrants from Texas to California, who are said to have been cut off by a party of Apa- ches on the Gadsden tract. The last named massacre seems to call for the intervention of the proper authorities at Washington. We hope that the story has been overstated ; but there is no doubt of the fact that the Apaches have become very trouble- some, and something should be done for the protection of this rather expensive Gadsden tract. By the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the United States government agreed to pro- tect the border from Indian ravages; and al- though this stipulation was disregarded, it now becomes the imperative duty of the President toestablieh posts on the Mexican boundary*to ensure the safety of emigrants who may choose this route. Numbers of Texans and Califor- nians intend to explore and perhaps inhabit the new Territory, and they would gladly co-ope- rate with the United States troops in driving away the Apaches. The newly acquired terri- tory has been gained under circumstances the most disgraceful to all parties coacerned—our government and our money having been used as tools to sustain an adventurer in his attempt to subvert a republic and substitute an empire in its place—but now that we have got it, it is certainly our duty to defend it. For this service the mounted rifles have been found the most effective troops, and it was pro- posed eome time since to establish a line of posts across the country, with stations at intervals of Faris his lady is ad Amerisan by birth, but his for a few years past been the first chanteuse at the Opera Comique.

For several mornings the startling annnouncement of more deaths from eating oyatere, has met the gaze of the thousands cf our citizens, 94 they hava opened the newspapers, until a perfect panic has been produssd; and the wonder with thousands is, that they have been indulging all thé fall in these biva'ves and have not died therefrom. Let us look at this matter seriously, and in the light of common rence. It has been said that per one have eaten oysters ana thereupon have been attack- ed with cholera, and died. Asa proof of this assertion, four or five such cases have been named.
