Guided only by the prejudiced accounts which reach ‘us, we certainly should not be disposed to form e very high estimate either of the military ekill or resouress that have hitherto been brought to bear-on the defence of the assailed territory. Notwithstanding the efforts made, however, to exaggerate on the one side the material strength, strategical superiority and braveryof the invaders, and-to depreciate on the other such qualities asthe Russians have really digplsyed, independent tacts which cannot be-su, pressed or perverted, occasionally come to eur aid in the formation of an inde- pendent judgment. Conveying to us as they do presumptive evidence of the impreasions made on the miuds of tne commanding gene- rals of the allied armies, of the the difficulties that they will have to overcome before they effect the objects of the expedition, we are jus- supply the excitement wanting in the.newa from the Orimea. CONVENTION WITH RUSSIA. We jublish elsewhere the official proclamation confirming the convention eutered into between the Buited Srates aud Ruisia, estaolwhiug the principle ef the righte of ueutrals at sea, The convention provides that free ships make free goods, aad that ‘the property of neutrals on board euemy’s vessels is exempt t2¢m confiscation unless contraband of war. ANOTHER TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE, Following close upon tae trightful accident upoa the Great Western railroad ia Caoads, whereby pearly one burdred persens were either killed out wight or shockingly wounded, we have to record mother, equally disastrous. On Wednesday, a: midnight, s train on the Rock Island railroad, when mear Mivoka, rep over a horse, which threw the en- @ime anc cars off the track, breaking the ribs of the engiveerand kiting and wounding between thirty and forty first class passengers, Many of the latter were so dreadfully scalded that no hope was enter. tainoo of their recovering. Our telegraphic accouat is uravoidably iaperfect, but the names of severs! of the sufferers are given, THE LOCKPORT FIRE. Details of the destructive fire at Lockport are giv- em under the telegraphic head. About twenty Duildings and their contents were consamed, includ- mg churches and hotels. The loss is variously esti- mated at from one to two hundred thousand dol- lars, partly covered by insurance. The fire origin. ated from the incautious use of a lamp filled with campbene. THE KNOW NOTHING REVOLT. We publish under the policical head the pronun- elamento of the Know Nothing revo ters, recently promulgated from the Council at Utica. It gives a plain statement of the whys and wherefoes tha ro walted in the calling of an independent State coa- wention, which repadiated the action of the dele- gates at Odd Fellows’ Hall in this city, and resolved “that the ticket nominated by the Grand Council is met entitled to receive the support of ths members @f the Orcer.” The constitation of the O:der seems to have been terribly maltreated, and, therefore, a Beorganization is deemed expedient. F.om the document alluded to it would appear that the sece @ers Lave the best of the argument, and that the Grand Council are justly chargeable with the al- Reged delinquencies. We likewise publish a ticket for city officers, issewed by Council No. 1, Niatn ward, made up from the nominees ef the various panies, and appended to it is an affidavit charging al) sorts of heinousness upon the executive com- maittee. These documents are curious affairs, and faze calculated to excite a lively sensation. LOCAL AFFAIRS, A Wass meeting of the democratic electors of the ‘Bixth Congressional district, was heid last evening % Munticelio Hall, to ratify the nomination of @harles D. Meade, Eaq., for Congress. Au addres and resolutions were read and adopted. They will be found in another column. A grocer, pamed Moses Myers, was last aight ar- wested on sutpicion of setting his store on tire, in Grand street. The case will be investigated by the Fire Marshal, before Jastice Welsh, this day John Williams, tuird mste of the packet ship Ex eelsior, was arreated on Shursday, charged with the marder of Joun Sweeny, one of tue crew of coat abip, on the 28th of July last, This case is one of ebocking buibarity. In the bupreme Court, special term, yesterday, ‘wpon & Wivtion for a writ of mandamus requiring athe Parker Vein Company and its officers to permit parties to transfer their stock of said company, Jvdge Morris decided that the evidence of the par- ‘ties interested must be left where it stood wen the frauds were discovered until tae eourts by adjudi- eation, cr tue Legislarure by enactment, dispose of ‘We matter, and cenied the motion. An interesting case, involving vhe right of travel evs on raiircads to seats in the cars, was decided yeaterday by Judge McoVany.

Licd vas from a> to ic. better, Cotton, with fair wales, wae ua | tified in questioning whether the destruc- tion of Sebastopol and the permanent occupation of the Crimea are likely to be of such casy accomplishment after all. The demands tor additional reinforcements and the summoning of Omer Pacha to a council of war at headquarters, do not seem to us facts which indicate entire confidence on the part of the allied chiefs. It it is true, as there is now reason to believe, tha: Menscbikoff has received a partial reinforcement, and that Osten Sacken is already in the peninsula, it is evident that the operations agains: Sebastopol will not have been carried on for many da.s before an at- tempt will have been made by the Russians to raise the siege. Although the effort may not be suceess{ul, it will have the effect of postpob- ing avy decisive result, until the arrival of such an amount of additional force oneither side as will tring matters‘ to a prompt conclusion. Everything, tierefore, depends on the military talents and energy possessed Ly the Ruasiau generals. Should they prove equal to the exi- gencies of the difficult circumstances in which they are placed, Sebastopol may yet be saved, and the disasters of the Alma repaired. We have no very certain information as to when the siege of Sebastopol commenced. A despatch from Bucharest announces that the bombardment was opened on the 13th, and that it was expected that the place would not be able to hold out more than three or four days. The Bucharest despatches, however, are neither to be relied on as to questions of fact or of milita- ry science. All (hat is known for certainty is, that the allies have taken up an excellent posi- tion, and that formidable batteries have been planted on all the hei.hts looking down upoa the city. The respective positions ote German Powers seem likely to be sooa defined by the force of circumstances, in spite of tue efforts which they have bitherto made to avoid committing them- selves, The movement of Russian troops upon the Austrian frontier has compelled the latter power to put a positive issue to the Cabinet of Berlin, in which she is likely to be supportid by the majority of the Diet—at least, euch is the opinion that appears to prevail in diplomatic circles. The campaign of the Crimea has, no doubt, had a very reactive effect upon Ger- man sympathies, and it would not surprise us if Prussia soon stood alone in her Muscovite tendencies. There are indications that direct mea:ures are about being takea by the allies to bring her to reason. It will be seen by an ex- tract which we publish to-day from the Paris correspondence of the London Times, that the project which we announced some months since as being in contemplation—the formation of an army of the Rhine—is again seriously spoken of, the notes that have recen: ‘y paased between France and Prussia being of « character that apparently leave no other alternative. Under these circumstances it will not be long before the Berlin Cabinet is forced into some definite course of action, which will probably be foliowed by the diseolution of the Germanic Confedera- tien. But for the apprehension of the latter eventuality Prussia would have been long since in the field combatting tor northern interests, INTERCHANGE OK NavaL Courresins.—We bave seen copies of correspondence between Captein O'Callaghan, R.N., commanding H. M. 5 Encounter, and Captain Buctauan, of the United States ship Susquebanns. On the fourth of July last, both ships were lying in the har- nor of Shangha-; the British veasel fired a sa- tute in bSuor of the day, and Charles Lyne, one of the men engaged at the guo, lost his arm by 4 prematere discharge. The officers and crew ef the Susquehanna and Vandalia subscribed the sum of two hundred and fifty pounds ster ‘ing (£250) for the benefit of the wife aad family of Lyne, aod the commanders of the vessels of rack vation exchanged feeling aud courteous letters upon the subject. Such evidences of the generosity and conr- tesy which form the brightest orasments to the pervice, are especially grateful, and reflect the ' igi est henor on ald the parties concerned.

Douglas. Fellow citizens, I wish to disclaim £0, uch of this report as can possibly imply the slightest ite prophet, in order that they might secure the return of the statesman of Aubarn to the Senate. They have been wsuccessfal—the C’sn- lition between the whige and the tempetnace men is complete. The latter ate charmed with the hopes held out to them, while the former chuckle at the credality which, theugh often warned, will still hangs ope upon the pro- mises of politiclens. The Seward men have thus found the tem- perance organization a powerful lever ready made to their hands, and with Clark at the head of the ticket, they have endeavored to so arrange the nominations for the Assembly that r. Seward’s return may be made a matter of absolute certainty. They have accepted tem- perance men when they were safe Seward men; but when the day comes that the new Maine law bill ia to be read for the first time, the tem- perance men may find that the managers of the whig party are not quite ready to perform their part of the contract. It is believed that the temperance men in the country will vote for Clark. It is necessary that he should have a good vote in the city, where his prospects are not quite so bright as Italian skies. Therefore, we are to have a grand rally for Clark and Raymond, at the Tabernacle to-night. We hope that the meeting will be a fall one—it will certainly be interesting. Come up to the Tabernacle. A full report of the meeting will be given in the Herap of to-morrow. Kxow Noruines aMonG THE BALTIMORE GinLs. —The Baltimore Sun advertises a grand cele- bration of the “United Daughters of America,” in which a delegation from Philadelphia was to participate. These are stirring times, and young gentlemen whose “grandparents were not born on the soil,’’ must not be surprised if they are jilted on account of their descent. Fashiona- ble education is-limited to be sure, but that the pretty girls of Baltimore actually Know Notb- ing seems to be a melancholy fact. We opine that a few handsome Irishmen would play the deuce in the “Grand Council of the United Danghters?”” Tae McnicrraL REFORMERS AND THEIR Puat- ForM.—Assuredly the greatest of the many great deceptious which are foisted into public notice at the present time is the so-called re form movement in the canvass for municipal officers. Born of the corruptions of the corporation whose infamies are on record in what Mr. Flagg calls the “Book of Beauties,” it seems to have been the aim and object of the municipal reformers to retard the cause they pretended to advance, and to establish on a deeper ani eounder basis the edifice of municipal misgo- vernment, Whilst clamoring at aldermanic frauds, and bewailing the wholesale robbery of the people, and the utter helplessness of the Mayor, they framed a charter which reduced the whole machine of municipal government to utter imbecility, and relieved ite officers of the little responsibility they had formerly borne. Instead of seeking to strengthen the hands of those whose business it was to see the laws ex- ecuted, they tied them so tightly that even if they had been willing to do their duty they could not. Instead of endeavoring to diminish the corruptions and intrigues which attended municipal elections, these reformers, by ad- hering to the large number of ollicers to be elected, kept open the doors for thete disgrace- fal practices. If in some instances the men elected under the new charter were preferable in point of personal character to the much abused Aldermen of the old régime, the system under which they worked was incomparably worse. We have ouly to inquire what practical reform has been wrought by the new City Council, what law better administered, what abuse rec- tified, to discover the utter worthlessness of the plans which placed them in power, and the sbamefal hypocrisy of the men on whose pledges the public relied in electing them. They have been looked, upon as nothing more than a set of tools in the hands of the irresponsible self-appointed Reform Commit- tee. For the last year, the government of New York has resided in that body, and the Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen have done very little more than obey its mandates. Of the nature of that government we have already spoken. No rosident of the city needs to be told that the laws are daily violated—many of the most important ordi- nancesa dead letter—provisions for the pre- servation of the peace disgracefully lax~-the condition of the streets filthy—and the contracts with the various ferry companies and other corporations much in need of alteration. If any one can point to any substantial reform wrought by these “reformers” during the eigateen months thitthey have had things all their own way, we should like to kuow it. The very ticket they pfesent to us is con- clusive against the syatem. We are expected on Tuesday to vote not only for Mayor, Alder- men send Councilmen, but for Commissiouer of Streets and Lamps, Almshouse Governor, Justices, commissioners of ever so many kinds and constables. Over one thousand candidates for the offices to be disposed of on that day are in the Held. How is it possible that the people rhould ever know the names of the candidates from whom they are to select? It requires several hours of severe study to arvive at any- thing like a clear comprehension of the names of the several tickets, Of course the voting will be mainly in ihe dark. The elrction job- bers will distribute their tickets, and a few citizens will take the trouble to vote knowingly for Mayor, and that isall. This is the frait of the secendancy of the Reform Committee ; this ‘fisrespect for the talents of your honorable Senator, His fame as an orator, and as & man of energy and per- severance, has not risen higher any where than in my own judj He is a man of the people. He came up from amorg them, and that by the native energy of his character and his manly industry. Iam ever pleased to see a man rise from among the people. Every such man is prophetic of the good time coming. have watched him during the past winter, when apparently overwhelmed with learning and eloquenee, rise again, and with more than the tact and skiil of a veteran, drive all before him. ‘There is, perhaps, something in a naine, and that may possibly explain the peculiar interest with which I have watehed and contemplated the fortunes of Mr. 8. A. Douglas. This feeling, 1 think you will admit, is quite natural. No man likes to read in a newspaper of the hanging of @ man bearing his own name. This is what a regular hard eltell would call “laying it on pretty thick”; but read the next few lines:— Ou the other hand, no man bearing the name of Douglas would think less of his name if this great nation should, in the abundance of its goodness, be pleased to place that name in the scroll of its Presidents; and this, notwithstanding the trite saying, that @ rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Fred, however, like other nimble politicians, has learned the art of dexterously tarning the most beautiful compliments, roses and all, up- side down, asin the present case. Immediately in connection with the foregoing he says:— But this time the times bid us to have done with names. Names have lost their significance in more way than one—deeds, not_words, are the order of the day; names are valued as Jong as they are associated with oner, justice and liberty; and, become, execrable whion associated with falsehood, treachery and tyranny. He then launches out gradually into the deep water of the Nebraska bill; and if our readers will imagine the gist of the arguments of Greeley, summed up in an extempore speech by an intelligent colored man, they will have the speech of the Black Douglass at Chicago. We understand the abolitionists of that locality are now desirous of hearing the white Douglas, but most likely they will not be gratified. Burton’s Theatre. DOUGLAS JERROLD’S NEW PLAY. A “Heart of Gold,” the domestic drama in three acts by Mr. Douglas Jerrold, which has made somu D fuss in the theatrical circles on both sides of the water, was played last night, for the first time in America. This play was first performed at the Princess’s theatre, London, on the 9th of October. We give the casts at each house:— Characters. Princess's. Burton's, John Dymond..,....Mr. Ryder, Mr. Fisher, Pierce Thanet ‘Mr. Catheart, Mr. Jordan, Nutbrow ‘Mr. Addison, ‘Mr. Moore, ir. D. Fisher, Mr, Johnston, ‘Mr. Meadows, Mr‘ Burton, Mr. Saker, A. Andrews, Mr. F. Cooke, Mr. Russell, Miss Heath, Miss Raymond, Miss Murray, Mra. Burton, irs. Daly. Mrs. Cooke. The plot of the ‘Heart of Gold” is simple. The au- thor seems to have desired to inculcate a good moral lesson. He has succeeded, but he is very dull and heavy in doing it. John Dymond and Pierce Thanet both love Maude. Her father prefers Dymond, for pecuniary reasons, Dymond, thinking that he is about to die, gives all his money to Thanet, who etraightway woos and wins the lady. Dymogd, however, does not die, but returns and demands his money, which the other re- fuses to return. Maude, when she ascertains this last fact, refuses to marry Thanct, and gets up a strong flirtation with the now penniless Dymond. But the vid love is too@trong for her, and she declines to marry him, Meanwhile Thanet has represented himself to be si. fering terribly from pangs of conscionce, and finally makes restitution. Maude embraces him vio- lently, the father consents to their marriage, and Dymond heroically says he will try to be happy without her. There is no underplot,” but to lighten up the play a little, there is an old sexton anda rather dry style of waiter, who haa a flirtation with the chainbermaid, of course. These three parts wore played by Mr. Burton, Mr. Johnston, and Mrs. Burton. Mr. Burton was capital as Jewberry, and made a great de: § more of it than seems possible on reading the picco. Mr. Johnston is supposed to be a waiter in a London tavera, but he dressed and played the part like a plough-boy. The acting of the principal characters was as good as the play deserves. All the actors seomed to do their vest to make the piece successful. Mr. Fisher played Dymond well; he was a little too boisterous at times, and his melo-cramatic stamps were out of place. He played the last scene in the first act so finely that greater faults than those above-mentioned, could be excuse.” Mr. Jordan was equally good in Thanet, alhough in a dif- ferent style. There are few actors more intelligent and acceeptable than Mr. Jordan; but he should remembe that the moustache was not worn by English country gentlemen a century 2go. Mr. Moore {a not equal tg heavy fathers, but was respectable... Miss Raymond’s Maude was a fair performance. It would have been be ter if there had been more repose, and fewer spasmodic shrugs and starts. In two or three good situations she was excellent, and obtained considerable well merited applause, Mrs, Burton had a bad part, but made it agreeable. The play was only moderately successful, and itis not equal te any of Mr. Jerrold’s former prj duction, although the language is powerful aad vige ous, as is everything that comes from his pen. The house was full, = Wallack’s Theatre=«“The Brigand.” Lovers of the picturesque have beea delighted, sin @ Wednesday, by the performance of “The Brigand.”” Mcj Wallack’s performance of Alessandro Massaroni, is pri 3 bably familiar to most play-goers, but they will be sur- prised to see how inuch better it is with proper sur- roundings. Even the play itseli—with its weak plot a @ common-place Ianguage—neems respectable, eo elevating s the effect of gorgeous apparel. We will not detail the plot, everybody knows that the heroisone of tho @ chivalrous cut-throats never seen ont of novels and off the stage—that his mother left him “lying about loore,’? and that he found his father and rs ceived an ounce of lead in his cranium at tle same time, But everybody docs not know that “The Brigand’’ is done better at Wallack’s than ever before in the United States, That the sceuery looks like Italian sconery—that the brigands act, dress, dance and sing like real brigands, not like a bunch of sticks, 2s has usually been the case—and that the tableaux are so arranged that their effect is singularly pictaresque. The blending of colors in the striking pictures formed in Sweeny, who afterwards sieappesies, and is supposed to have been thrown overboard by the assailants, ‘The Ex- celsior lately returned to this port, and the officers hav since her arrival been in search of Williams, who man- aged to elude them until Thursday night, when he was found stowed away in a pile of lumber. Ho was detained to await examination, PROCESSION OF THE AMERICAN PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION, —A large body of the members of the American Protest- ant Association passed our office last night as an escort f the Rey.

Alter Massaroni, there is not much for the actors in “The Brigand.”” Mr. Wallack looks as handsome as ever, and dashes through his part with more spirit than he bas lately displayed. His atyle of acting this part is decidedly meto-dramatic, but it is yery good nevertheless, Mrs. Hoey enacts the part of the brigand’s wife, an excessively inconsis- tent female, who at one moment urges her husband to cut a man’s throat, and immediately afterwards gets very religious over a crucifix and an Ave or two from the chorus. Mrs, Hoey was capitally dressed and playod the part well, although she sometines displayed a neey- ous anxiety to overnct it, The other parts wore well done, everybody being cary and perfect.

ARREST OF THE PROPRIETOR FOR ARSON. Last evening before 7 o'clock, a fire was discovered tr the grocery store of Moses Myers, No, 605 Grand street. It was discovered before it had time to extend beyond ‘the shelving under which it originated, and extinguished by the police of the Seventh and Thirteenth wards, as. | sisted by the neighbors. The Fire Marshal was quickly | on the spot, and elicited facts from the neighbors which justified the police in taking Mr. Myers, the proprietor) | of the store, into custody, and officer Hudson, of the j Seventh ward, arrested him and conveyed him to the Seventh ward station house. A fire occurred in the same store on last Sunday night, | under circumstances which created at that time a great 4 deal of suspicion, and the fire of last evening in a great | messure confirmed that suspicion. The fire on Sunday | night burnt a hole through the floor, by « par last evening it occurred bebind the chutier, shelving. A strong smell of camphene, or Dutning dutd | was noticed by the police "and neighbors at the potting out the fireon this last occasion. In additior these suspicious circumstances, there is an insurance | of $1,500 on the stock, in the Relianco Fire Insurance’ } Company, and $500 on houschold furniture, when in fact there does not appear to be stock and furniture in the premises to the amount of $500.
