Yesterday’s Hxxatp contained Governor ! Seymeur’s proclametion of the usual thanks- giving day, to be kept ia this State on 30th inst. The same day has been chosen by the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylva- nia, Indiana, ‘Kentacky, Ohio, Massachusetts and Michigay. Four others, Mary'and, Wis- consin, New ‘Jersey and Florida, keep the 23d. “Wehave, in truth, notwithstanding our diffi- culties, mach ground for sincere thanksgiving to Almighty Providence for the countless blessings we enjoy. All over the world, this favored country alone excepted, war is either now raging: or has raged, or is about to rage. Lives are being thrown away by the hundreds on the banks of the Danube and those of the Yang-tee-Keang. Pestilence sweeps away tauque,std two or three others, to hear from, which leavee probably fifty thousand votes yet to come in. ‘Clark, as will be seen by our table, is some six hundred abead of Seymour; but as nearly every ‘batch of returns changes the aspect of the result, ur next announcement may alter the position of thé two prominent candidates.

She was valued at eighty thousand dollars. MORTALITY OF THE CITY. * From the report of the City Inspector, we learn that there were 404 deaths in this city last week, anincrease of five over the preceding week. 0’ ‘these, 109 were under one year, and 104 from one to ten years of age. Consumption carried off 61 vietims, convulsions 33, dysentery 12, croup 16 and diarrhoea, 11. There were 13 deaths from in flammation of the langs, eight of inflammation of the brain, 31 of marasmus, nine of disease of the heart, eight of scarlet fever, and seven of typhus fever. Nine premature births and twenty stillborn cases are reported. There were two persons killed by falls, two murdered by stabbing, one killed by blows, and two drowned. Ten deaths occurred at Bellevue Hospital, seven at the City Hospitsl, four at the Penitentiary, two at the Lunatic Asylam, 19 at Ward’s Island, three at Randall’s Island, two at Blackweli’s Island, and one a! St. Vincent’s Hospi- tal. Ofthe whole number, 250 were natives of the United States, 78 of Ireland, 46 of Germany, 12 of England, and six of Scotland. MORTALITY ON BOARD SHIP.

ARRIVAL OP EMIGRANTS. ‘Yenterdey the following number of emigrants ar- rived from Earope:— Ship Helvetia... Caroline Ta Coorawattes Canton.. JOHN M. CLAYTON AND THE KNOW NOTHINGS. A speech by Mr. John Clayton, of Delaware, re- ently delivered in tha: State, in reference to the principles of the Know Nothings, will be found in our paper to-day. Mr. C. says that he is not mow, and never has been, s member of the Know Nothing order, bat declares his cpproval of the plstform of the American party, as adopted in con- vention in Delaware, on the 4th of Octeber. He de E expresses a American citizens, American | confess that the allies have done # grent deal countless multitudes from the Black Sea to the Caspian. Civil commotions render life a bur- then in South America and its mother country Spain. Political vicissitudes hang menacingly over the whole Germanic Confederation. The uncertainties of war and the miseries of unpro- fitable trade are spreading apprehension and suffering throughout the British Empire. Rus- sia, locked in her own impenetrable borders, seeks in vain an outlet for her produce: all the money she has must be poured into the Impe- rial Treasury, all her blood shed on the battle field. On whatever side we look present peril and futape misery meet the eye. ‘Let us not boastfully impute to ourselves alone the immunity we enjoy from such cala- mities. The contrast is not of our making, but is wholly the work of a Higher Powe. It might have been our fate to have been plunged into wars, instead of enjoying the blessings of Peace. We might have been still suffering under the pestilence which has twice visited us during the year. If we are sarrounded by plenty, the glory is due to Him at whose word the earth might have refused to yield her in- creaee. Yet though it were impiety to claim credit to ourselves for the striking contrast we present to the world at large, that contrast is not the less worthy of attentien. During the whole of the past year civil war has raged without intermission in Mexico and South America. Nearly one half of Santa An- na’s dominions has been distracted by a haras- sing contest between an invincible rebel and a discontented soldiery. Venezuela seems destined to die under the fatal effects of internal strife : on such soil, republicanism only serves to whet he native propensity for fighting, and free suf- frage beeomes a mere pretext for appealing to the sword. Peru and Bolivia would never be heard of were it not for their petty wars, whose Kast effect must be to render insecure the tenure of life and property among the people. Buenos A;res vainly strives to attain the posi- tion due her in the commercial world: the love of fighting is still too prevalent in that meridian to admit of abiding prosperity. In Asia, the close of the Burmese war has given some relief to the region where it was carried on ; but two short a space of time has ~| elapsed for its trace to be obliterated. From north to south China is laid waste. The war between the insurgents and the Imperialists has not resembled similar contests among civilized nations ; bloodshed and rapine, mas sacre and destruction seem to be the great aim of both of these wretched factions. A blood: red track, with broken monuments and charred ruins on either side, marks the progress of the revolutionaries from the south to Nankio. To the Chinese the year has been one of unmingled suffering. Nor is the western side of the Con- tinent ina much happier condition. The Rus- sian borders have been a scene of incessant warfare: there is pluck still left among the Sikhs and their ferocious neighbors. Still more disastrous has the year been to Europe. When it dawned, Omer Pasha was gallantly defending the banks of the Danube against the invading army of Russia: it is nearly closing, and he is there still, fighting as desperately as ever. Two other Powers are now embarked in the same work of death, and a third is only waiting for an accident to determine its course, to do likewise. We hear it said that nothing has been done by the allie: this season. What folly is this! Is it no- thing that the trade of the Black Sea and the Baltic have been annihilated? That Archangel, Riga, Revel, St. Petersburg ani Odesea have exported no produce of any kind, and receivei mothing from abroad? In what condition should we find ourselves if Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Or- leans were similarly siturte, and neither egress nor fngress possible? Then again, the trade and agriculture of Turkey have been necessarily paralyzed. The counting houses of Constan- tinople have teen turned into hospitals, the ploughshares of the country parts converted into weapons of war.- What sort of harvests have been gathered in from the plains of Wal lachia and Moldavia? Look over all these: count the number of families heretofore depeu- dent on the mills of Archangel, the timber yards of Revel and Riga, the corn depots 0! Odessa: those whose daily bread was gained by tilling the earth anywhere near Varna, Scutari or Gallipoli: and the myriads of others depen- dent upon these in their turn: all now beggared by the year’s campaign; and you shall assaredly during the past year, Of the prosperity of the people of Germany, the swelling tide of ‘ur Germ) imm gration is a sufficient test.

A few years more df this war, and we may see as large an Eug- lish immigration as we now recelve from Ger- many. In contrast with such sufferings as these, our own troubles seem indeed .frivolous.

From the developemen’, of the recent political elections, it is abu dantly manifest that the Know-Nothing: are a power in the land, and that, a8 a new and independent political organ- | ization, they are in the field for the Presi- | dency. | The speech delivered the other day in De- | laware by the Hon. John M. Clayton, which we | pultfich this morning, ‘oreshadows, undoubted- | Ty, the programme of '' is my terious order, of | which be is the chief, for the great contest of | 1856. It is the donble--istilled and concentrat- | ed quintessence of native-Americanism, and | the epidemic bids fair to go on and culminate in the Presidential electi n. The fusion of the whigs of Delaware into this extraordinary movement, is, in this connection, a most signifi- cant fact. It signifies the absorption of the bulk of the Southern whig party into the party of the Know Nothings. Toere are very decided symptoms in the presen’ political agitation in Virginia to this effect. The dem>cratic papers in that State appear, in fact, to regard the coa- | Col. Abel Smith, acting Brigadier; Major Ball, Aid, and lition as already virtually accomplished, and are Greadfully frightened at the prospect of a wholesale sl.iughter fiom a sortie from the in- visible enemy in smbush. The projét of Francis Granger for a re-or- ganization of the national whig party on the New York si’ver gray platform, meets with little favor in the South. The silver grays, though conservative upon other points in regard to Southern slavery, stand in open hostility to the repeal of the Missouri compromise; and leading Southern journals say this will Hever do. The silver grays, then, will have no other alternative than a conjunction with ghe Know Nothing coa‘ition of John M. Clayton, in oppo- sition to the Northern anti-slavery alliance of ty-five cents on the dollar—we have peace still. No one drags us from our business to cut throats: no one wrests our last dollar from us tokeep up the dignity of some disreputable house. Groan as we may, when foul winds set in, we have yet vast reason to offer thanks- giving. Ovr New Mayor.—Mr. Fernando Wood has been as much abused as any cone we know. How he was elected puzzles every one. Som? say the Irishmen carried him in on theic shoulders. Otters pretend that Seymour drew him in at his tail. A third party attri- bates his euccess to the opposition he encoun- tered from Wall street—which produced a re- action in the “ glorious Sixth” and other classic localities. However this be, certain it is that he is duly elected Mayor; and now, the best thing his enemies can do is to smile and look pleasant. Mr. Wood himself has a heavier duty to discharge. Whether rightly or wrongly, large number of his fellow-citizens expect fim to make a bad Mayor. His private character has been so severely assailed that people are ready to expect anything bad of his public cs- reer. I¢ now remains for him to show that these unfavorable anticipations are unfounded. A man of nerve and capacity—as Mr. Wood’s friends represent him to be—can with a very little exertion, so demean himeelf as Mayor that the whole city will chorus in his praise. The very men who are now the loudest in condema- ing Wood’. antecedents will be the warmest of an efficient and energetic manner. The task. it istrae, is no alight one. To gain public fa- vor as Mayor, Mr. Wood will require to xysolve in the first place, to shake off all trammels and to act according to his own convictions without interference ‘from any one. Hitherto our Mayors have too often been mere toolx in the hands of their own subordinates, who have frequently had no other pur- pose to serve but the gratification of their own designe. In the next place place, Mr. Wood ought, if he desires to retrieve lost popularity, to set himself resolutely to work to enforce the laws and city ordinances. I¢ is notorious thit two-thirds of the laws on the statute book are a dead letter in practice. No one sees to their execution. Any one who chooses infringes them with impunity. Now, it i: clearly the business of the Mayor above ali others to re- medy this glaring evil. Mr. Wood has here a fine chance of presenting a bold contrast to the supineness and inefficiency of his predecessors. It remains to be seen whether he will avail himself of it. Finally, the police and th: groggeries afford an unéxampled field for the display of energy. It rests with the Mayor to put an end to the constant assaults and mur- ders which are taking place every day in many places in the city. It rests with him to sce that the pojice do their duty and to put an end to the impression that they are themselves too often the accomplices of thieves and assassins. It rests with him finally to impose such re- straints on corner-grocery drunkenness a3 will goa great‘way towards wiping out this stain on our civil character. If Mr. Wood, instead of pursuing the exam- ple of former Mayors, turns over an entirely new leaf on these subjects, in three months the city would weara different aspect. No one would gain so much by the change as Fernando Wood. Srvrw Decerrion.—The Washington Union caterers for the Kitchen Cabinet, will persist in the stupid nonsense that the New York democracy in the late election were united Read from the President’s organ the fol- towing :— ‘The vote for Judge Bronson, for Governor, shows that the democracy of New York’ have not hesitated to dis- card the old prejudices and bad passions of certain lead- ing politicians, and have resolved upon future union wae eres that tl Gemnoeraey’ of the Btate of New York are once more « unit, and that the days of “hards”’ and “softs ’’ are over. “The days of hards and softs are over,” we grant you: but where are the hards? Look at the vote for Gilman in Daniel S. Dickinson’s county—-look at his vote in all the hard shell counties for Ullman. This is “union and con- cert.” “The democracy of New York once more a unit.” Bah! Ware Waeat.—The Albany Journal, speak- ing of Francis Granger’s cirou'ar for a national reorganization of the silver grays, says :-- It dees “suit”? us exactly. It a ery what we desire and have long desired. It is time that the whig wheat should be winnowed from the chaff, Let Mr. Granger's fossil remains be exhumed speedily. “Whig wheat.” We fear that it is so full of smut, weevil and garlick, that it will not sel! in the Presidential market. Who bids for the whig wheat of Thurlow Weed? Orenrxa or ANoTHER Wesrerx Rartroap.—We have received a circular from the directors of the Ohio and Indiana Railroad, inviting us to attend an excursion to Fort Wayne, Ind,, on Wednesday, the 11th inst., on the cecasion of the completion of the road, This railroad is now open from Crestline, Ohio, to Lima~72 miles, It ‘will be opened on the 15th to Fort Wayne—131 miles— there to connect with the Indiaua and Chicago road, his friends, if he discharges his official duties iu * W. H. Seward. The Clayton platform, on the other hand, is so thoroughly impregnated with the worst features of the old exploded and obsolete doc- trines of Native Americanism, that we suspect it will not be quite so popu'ar as he supposes it | hi willbe. He goes for “American in preference to | stii} alive at ten o'clock on Friday night. foreign labor,” American mechanics, American manufactures, American navigation, American commerce, and above all, American agricul- ture. “Iam for American breadstuffs,” he says, “and an American market for them.” This platform revives the exploded pretective system of Mr. Clay, in all its bearings, and a good deal more. American manufactures can only have the monopoly of our home market by the absolute prohibition of foreign manufac. tures, and American breadstuffs exciusively will require the same interdict against foreign agricultaral products. Establish these prohibitions, and we shall, of course, have an exclusively American commerce, and an American navigation—our commerce with all the rest of the world being cut off. All imports, then, from abroad beiag interdicted by prohibitory laws, the re venues from the customs will cease ; our cns- tom houses will have to be changed into bar- racks for the detective coast guard against emugglers, and the seventy-five millions of dol- lars a year now drawn-from the tariff upon im- Ported goods, and all required for the current, and contingent expenses of the government, will have to be raised by a direct taxation of at least @ hundred millions, directly {rom the pockets of the people. : At the same time the stringent laws foresha- dowed in this Clayton platform against foreiga- ers and foreign immigration purpose little loss than the Chinese system of exclusion of all “outside barbarians.” In fact, the programme of the Delaware statesman involves the practi- cal introduction into the United States of the ancient commercial and political system of Chinese isolation, including a Chinese wall along our Canadian frontier, and another, in lieu of the Pacific Railroad, along our Mexican boundary. Such is the Know Nothing prozramme, as enunciated from their Delaware chief, Joh. M. Clayton. Itis “America for the Americans,’’ precisely after the Chinese model of China for the Chinamen. It proposes to throw our present beautiful political and commercial system of American civilization, refinement and progress back into the monstrous and horrible despotism of the yellow barbarians of China. If such a platform—so revolting to civilized man, so monstrous, and so utterly preposterous and ab- surd, in this age of free trade and free inter- course among civilized na\ions—does not “crush out” the Know Nothings and their champion in 1856, it will be because they will have aban- doned him, and repudiated his abominable pro- nunciamento, in the interval. This Clayton platform, however, farnishos the key to the organization of a great Ameri- can party, in principles and in fact, as well as in name—a party with the federal constitutiva as‘its basis, and with the Union, the peace of the Union, the harmony of the people, and the advancement of the country in all the arts of peace, the elements of power, and the sinews of war. The two old parties of the last twen- ty-five years are not only defunct, but their dead carcasses have become offensive to the nostrils of the people. The Know Nothings have Jed off with a new party upon the C.i- nese platform. Who leads the way for a Con- stitutional American party? The coast is clear. Jvper Epuonn’s Lerrer—Sriniva Mant- FesTations.—We call the attention of our read ers who have any interest in such things, to the curious letter of Judge Edmonds, which will be found in another part of this paper, on certain very curious, very wonderful, very extraor- dinary, very astounding, and very ridiculous spiritual manifestations in reference to the loss of the steamship Arctic. Now, if these spiritual people could only have apprised usin advance of the disaster to the Arctic, and of the time and place, all the passengers might have been saved. But they are always too late. If they could now inform us of the exact locality where the remains of Sir Jobn Franklin and his ships, crews are to be found, they would be doing some practical service to the world. We res- pectfully submit to any good medium to try the experiment, and call upon the spirit of Sir John for information. Glendower could “ call up spirits from the vasty deep,” and he was but a Welchman, Sares or Woot.—We are informed that a few days ago ‘The sale of American Fleece and Pulled Wool mado at Troy by Messrs, Wilmerdings & Mount, at tho store of Messra, Herrington & Warren, Troy, comprised about 475,000 Ibs. (not 47,500 as erroneously reported by tele- graph). The sale went off with much spirit. The at- tendance was large. There were also large sales of wool in Sep- tember at Anburn and Syracuse, at a consi- derable sacrifice to all concerned. Bills yet to be paid. Heavy failures expected. The Riot Excitement at Williamsburg. ‘YEREATENED ATTACK UPON A PROTESTANT CHURCH— MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION—THE MILITARY. ‘The attempt to destroy the Catholic church in Second street, on Thursday morning, created intense excitement among the Catholic residents; and during the early part | of the day it was visited by hundreds of the members— | men, women and children. About 7 o’clock on Friday evening the following military companies, belonging to the Thirteenth regiment, under a full staff, arrived at the City park. | From Brooklyn—City Guard, Capt. Everdell; Light Guard, Capt. Clark; Continentel Guard, Capt. Sharp; Greenwood Guard, Capt. Amesbury; Brooklyn Cadets, | Capt. Edmonds; Brooklyn Guard, Capt.

Late in the afternoon information came to the Mayor, to the effect that the Irish Catholics, exasperated by the | proceedings of the rioters the night previous, and espe- cially the attack upon their church, had determined to retaliate by tearing down the Methodist church in North | Fifth street, and also to place a strong force of armed men in their own churches, in order to protect them; in consequence of this information the military were marched through the infected districts in the Second ward, and afterwards took up their head quar- ters at the Odeon. To prevent an attack. upon the churches, Colonel Smith stationed a guard at the Catho- lic church in Second street, another at the Catholic church in Leonard street, ands third at the Methodist church in North Fifth street. ‘The following, over the signature of the Mayor, was posted throughout the city yesterday afternoon :— PROCLAMATION.

A report that John H.

A meeting of the Board of Aldermen was called yester- day afternoon, for the purpose of authorizing a reward for the arrest of the persons who caused the death of Wm. H. Harrison; a quorum was not présent, and con- sequently no action will be taken in the matter until Monday. It is understood that the reward will be one thousand dollars—quite sufficient to engage the services of some of the most expert officers in this vicinity. The following persons, arrested on a chai of being engaged in the election riots, were examined yesterday before Justice Boswell. Those chargeq with being en- in the riot inthe morning, were held in bonds of 2,000 each, to appear for trial at the Court of*Sessions.

Several companies of the Thirteenth regiment were under orders last night, and held themselves in readiness at their quarters, in case their services were required. Up to a late hour everything was quiet. Mesers.Rischmuller & Loeacher,consignees of the strand- ed ship Vierge Marie, received a letter at a late hour last evening, from one of their confidential clerks, who was, with commendable promptness, immediately despatched by the firm to visit the scene of the disaster. This gentle- man dated his letter ‘Seven miles from Easthampton, L. 1,” at 10 0’elock on Friday night. He reports that the passengers had been all safely landed, and were quite content and comfortable as circumstances would per- mit, in a large wooden house, which had beon tempora- rily rented for their accommodation. Acting under the direction of his employers he had done everything he could, in the way of furnishing provisions, &c., &e., in order that they should néed for nothing, until the steamer arrived with a plentiful supply from New York. ‘The Mercury was not in sight when he despatched his fetter. Capt. Suykens remained on board the Vierge Marie, but the water was so rough the clerk could not communicate with him. The passengers report that there was no cholera or other epidemic on board the ship during the paseage, and that most of the deceased died from the ordinary at- tacks of illness incidental to long sea voyages at this season of the year. i: ‘When our reporter visited the ,office of Rischmuller & Loescher last time tyesterday, nothing had been heard from the steamer Mercury, nor was any further news expected during the night, owing to the fog and heavy weather which prevailed. All the required information was cheerfully given him by the consignees, whose ac- tion in the matter has been at once prompt and human § i FURTHER PARTICULARS. Messrs. Richmuller & Loescha, agents of the above thip, despatched a special messenger to her on yesterday morning, who arrived there at 7P.M. In ao letter written to Messrs. Richmuller & Loescha, he states that the ship lies about seven milen east of East Hampton; the passengers have been all safely landed on the beach. A shed has been erected for their protection, where they are all well provided for. He further states that the passengers aro all in perfect health; that there is not nor has there, at any time during the passage, been any malignant disease, and that they are all in good spirits, and comfortable. The steam tug Mercury has been sent to receive the passengers, and forward them to this city, Sho bas a good stock of provisions, beds and bedding. Messrs. R. & M. have exerted themselves in rendering all the assist- ance in their power for the comfort of the Passengers, who are expected to arrive here to-day by the Mercury. Great fears are entertained for the ship in consequence of the storm. _ Marine Affairs.
