Sa HOUSE, 663 Broad- ‘The News. ‘There was a grand reunion last night of the pro- ‘minent men of the Know Nothing party of this seity and State, and unlike all former meetings of ‘the party, it was one to which the press wasinvited. ‘The occasion was the presentation of a splendid ‘and very valuable silver table set to Mr. James ‘W. Barker, the'defeated Know Nothiag candidate “for the New'York Mayoralty. It tock place at the Collamore Hotel, Broadway, and its a:compani- ments were a recherché supper, good wines, and some rather indifferent speeches. Ore fact came out Jast evening which will somewhat as‘onish the weak minds of the community, namely, that the Order has been in existence prior to the year 2750, for it is thas date which the inscription on the pieces of plate bears. In the absence of Mr. ‘Dilman the chair was taken by the Hon. Thos. R. ‘Whitney, member of Congress elect from the Wil- Mamsborg district. The presentation was made by Mr. Selah Squires, of Chenango county, and speeches ‘were made by Mr. Barker; Judge Campbell, of the Superior Crurt; Mr. Thos. J. Lyon, of Orange coun- ty; Messra. Da:nahover Rhodes, and James Brooks, of the Express. The latter gentleman declared that, in a given case, he was ready to vote for Frod Douglass. Ths meeting broke up at 11 o’slook, at ter which Mr. Barker was treated t> a serenade at his house in Monroe street. For fall report see to morroe’s Herat. A melancholy case of infatuation and self murder ia detailed in our colamas this morniog. The vicr tim is Thomas Bailey Rassum, formerly of San Fran. oo, who blew out bis own brains wita a pistol yeaterday, in a house of bad repute in Leonard street. The steamship B'ack Warrio: arrived yesterday from New Orleans and Havana. Oar dates from Havana are to the 27th May. No event of any im- portance bad ocurred in the island from the date of our previous advices. The charter of the Spanish Bank to be established in Havana had received the sanction of the home government, and the decree authorizing the scheme was published on the 26th. The Diarzo devotes an article to Know Nothingism from which we make an extract.’ The letter of our correspondent contains the current news. Additional news from Bermuda to the 27th of May bas been received. Governor Murray openei the session of the Colonial Parliament on 22d ult. The Bermudian of the 22d ult, bas the following news items:—‘‘ The American steamer Osprey will not, it is eaid, return to these islands and tho Wes: Indies—the company owning her having been dis- solved. The annual meeting in behalf of Wesleyan missions, which was held yesterday, was very noumerously attended. The report was read by the Rev. R. Dancan. Messra A. M. McK«nnew, and R. Leeber, ceaf-mutes, who hai arrived from New York, gave an exhibition, condacted after the mode of instruction pursued in the institutions for the deaf and dumb in the United States. Mr, Daniel Vaughn, a native of Rhode Isiand, but for the last 40 years a resident of Bermuda, and aged 71 yeara, @ied at Bermuda on 16th of May.” The ship Leopold I., Captain Gebarding, arrived yesterday from Antwerp, haviog on board 367 passengers, the majority of whom are reported to be paupers by the American Consul at Antwerp, "The vessel, by orders of the Commissioners of Emi- gration, has been stopped at Qaarantine until the proper authorities investigate the truth of the cbarges sgainst the passengers, which, If found trae, will probably cause their immediate return to the port from whence they cane at the expsase of the consignees. The Leopold I. hasa@ cargo of bricks on board, and is bound for Havana. The vessels of the Hartateia Arctic ssarcaing ex- pedition are still at anchor at t2e Quarantine ground, waiting for favorable weather. Not vi hstanding the inclement weather yesterday a large number of psrsons, including many eminent pbysicians, attended the formal opening of the Women’s Hospital, a new institavion dsaigned for the treatment of diseases wholiy pecaliar to females. A full report of the ceremonies on the occasion is given in today’s paper. The number of interments at Philadelphia for the week ending noon yesterdsy, was 149. ‘The minimum of democratic rejoicing over a par- ty victory is one hundred guns. The maximum is yet to be ascertained. One huudred guns in Jersey City, 100 guns in Rochester, 100 guns in Schenects, éy, 100 guns in Cleveland—the air reverberates with 100 guns of triumph over the election of Wise in Virginia. Louis Bamberger, ot New York, has been appoint ed Consul of the United States for the port of Asun- cion, in the republis of Paregua. ‘The names of the members of the board for re- tiring naval officers are given under the telegraph- ic head. They are familiar to the public, and give promise that the delicate duty of passing upon the qualifications of their associates will be faithtally med. ‘The investigation of the Coroner into the otroam- stances attending the recent homicide inthe Twen- ty-firat ward wasconclaiei yesterday, and the jary rendered a verdict to the effect that the deceased, John Conner, came to his death at the hands of John Wall. The accused was committed to the Tombs to await the action of tbe Grand Jary. ‘The frigate Constitution, from the coast of Africa, arrived at Portsmouth, N. H., yesterday. She has ‘been absent from the United States three years, and will now be put out of commission, and her crew paid off and discharged. Cotten was less active yesterday, but prices were firm, with sales of atout 4,000 bags, the market closing in favor of sellers. Common grades of State flour were 6jc. a 12c. per barrel lower. Wheat was firm, but nominal. Indian corn was inactive, aod sales limited, witnout material change in prises; ‘Western mixed inclined to droop, while prime white and yellow Southern wore firm. Pork was easisr, end the turn of the morket favored purchasers. Freights were dull for Engtish ports, as well as for ‘most places on the Continent. A cargo of 2,300 bar- rele of pork wae engaged for Toulon, probably on account of the French government, at $1 per barrel. Tre city continues remarkably healthy and free of epidemic diseases. We learnfrom the official report of the City Inspector that there were but 399 deatha daring the past week, viz : 77 men, 70 women, 146 beys, ani 106 girls. Of the whole number 60 were inmates of the public institutions, exhibiting & very satisfactory sanatory condition, when it is considered that the various hospitais, asylume and penal establishments contain bet veen five and six tLousen! persimz, eet EE of maladies.

The New American Journals on the Virgluin Election and the Philadelphia Nattoual Council—Good Advice, We transfer to our columns this morning a cbepter of editorial commentaries from the leading journals of the new American party, touching the late defeat of the Know Nothings in Virginia, and the duty and the policy of the Order at their forthcoming grand National Council at Philadelphia, These extracts em- body much good advice, the natural conse- quence of the invaluable lesson administered in the Old Dominion, and we therefore submit these admonitions to all the delegates to Phiia- pbia for a careful and thoughtful reading, to- gether with a word or two of our own. The Richmond Whig with a great deal of good sense, urges the necessity of a practical programme, upon great principles, and their public proclamation to the world, consideriag the machinery of signs, grips and passwords as a matter of trifling moment. The Baffalo ddver- tiscr, following in the same line of thought, pleads the importance of good candidates, to the exclusion of worthless drones and intriguing epoilsmen, with great effect. The Albany Regis- ter, in its new position still betrays the weak- ness of an incurable party hack, and calls for the extension of its circulation as a matter of the very highest consequence. Its whole pro- gramme appears to be the ruling idea among the Albany organs from time immemorial, of making as much money out of the party as pos- sible, at all hazards, leaving them to take care of their principles after their own fashion. But the volunteer paper atyling itself the American Organ, at Washington, is an exceed- ingly flimsy and silly concern. While its more active Know Nothing cotemporaries are casting about them for the means and measures by which their late terrible defeat is to be re- trieved, and from which a great national or- ganization is to be made, this bewildered and incompetent Washington Organ is cyphering up the Irish vote in Virginia, parading its limited circulation before the public, and ut- tering its foolish inuendoes against the editor of this journal.. We must tell this Organ that it is behind the times, Instead of consulting the policy of its party, “ black mail” seems to be its predominant idea, We are sorry that we can make no promiees of the “ black mail” of the next Congress; but if this Organ really can and does support itself, it ought to showa little more pluck and independence upon the great issues of the day, and in reference to the daties ot this new party through whose support it is looking for the public plunder. We very much fear, however, that this Organ is a fishy Know Nothing concern, and will ultimately prove to be as faitnless as it is puerile, insipid and ridiculous. The immediate question in hand is this na tional American Council or convention at Pni- ladelpbia, It must do something to repair the damages of the Praise God-Barebones Parlia- ment of Massachusetts and the disasters of the Virginia election, or the Order may as well be disbanded, Itis proved that all this mystery and hard swearing against the Pope of Rome, Irish Catholics and adopted citizens, is all rub- bish and moonshine. A raid against the “poor divils” of Irish and the “bloody Catholics,” may be successful for Buncombe ia a towa elec- tion here and there, but is hardly worth the candle in any case. For the great Presidential campaign nothing will avail except an organi- zation and a party platform broad enough and strong enough to support the Union, the con- stitution, and the substantial practical interests of the American people in the management of the government. Before a new dynasty can be established at Washington, the existing dy- nasty must be supplanted. And what, then, is the true plan for the consolidation of a new and overwhelming national party ? ‘The history of our political parties and their mutations for the last fifty-five years furnishes the answer. The administration of the elder Adams was superseded by a republican combi- nation upon a platform of hostility to his rigid anti-republican policy. The adminis- tration of the younger Adams was over. thrown in the same way by a democratic national reunion against the weak and salient points of his policy and his Cabinet, and upon a general demand for “retrenchment and re- form.’ Upon the same plan, the mighty com- bination and fusion of factions and parties of 1840 swept away the administration of Van Buren, in a deadly war upon his financial ex- cesses, his defaulters, peculators, and his whole catalogue of bad luck, bad management and insatiable spoilsmen. ‘The same policy of oppo- sition carried James K. Polk and Gen. Taylor into power, and Mr. Pierce owes much of his triumph in 1852 to the negative milk and water qualities of the feeble administration of Mr. Fillmore. What an inviting field, then, is opened to the opponents of this most faithless, corrupt, imbe- cile and condemned Pierce admfalstration, for national party, upon the common platform of supereeding this rotten concern and all connect- d with it, with something stronger, sounder end better. The democratic jubilee the other night at Tammany Hall betrays the alarm of that party upon this vulnerable point. They perceive that they cannot carry the dead car- caes of this administration through the cam- psign of 1856; amd, therefore, they proposé to cut it edrift. Butit should be the fixed pur. pose of the opposition, ia a united movement, to hold the democracy responsible for Mr. Pierce, his Cabinet, his acts end his shortcomings, and to demerd upon this plea a complete revolution in the government. In this view, the cry of “retrenchment and reform” would have a defi- nite meaning; for the most besotted partizan spoilsman cannot suppose there is any excuse for an existing peaee expenditure of eighty mil- lions a year. Let the National Council, then, at Philadel- aioted witualla.ts + pla proseed lu the buslass of the org nize tion of a great nationel American party, ima practical way, according to the teachings ef experience and the principles of common sense, and they may achieve great and positive re- sults, hey ‘can if they will. Let them sbandon this scarecrow of the Pope of Rome, this raw-head-and-bloody-bones of Josuitism, this perilous folly of Catholic proscription, this tom-foolery of persecution against the poor Trish ; this mummery and flummery of the amendment of rituals and third degrees, this clap trap and blasphemy of dark lanterns and horrid swearing of blind obedience to hungry epoilsmen, and go to work like Americans, with @ great purpose in hand, and declare it in the light of day. Let them open their doors, and discuss the great issues of the crisis, not like bace conspirators in a cavern, but like honest men before the world, and make an open er- gevization for a dashing forward movement in behalf of a new American party, a new dynas- ty, and a new administration, “fresh from the people,” upon the common battle ery of “re. trenchment and reform,” and the result must be a revolution as sweeping as that of 1840. The Virginia election, the Tammany jubilee, the extracts which we give today from leading Know Nothing journals, all go to show that this new party, before it can assume a national position, has yet to build up a national charac- ter, national principles, and national purposes, commeneurate with the demands of the crisis. We think we have pointed out the road to suc- cess. We submit the case to the Council at Philadelphia. If they fail to meet the necessi- ties of the time, they have only to stand aside and let the democractic party come forward and walk over the course. AFrw hs a wirn Mr. Taomas McExrata. —It is wholly impossible that people can go on from day to day propagating infamous doc- trines, undermining religion, and stirring up discord between the various sections of the country, without some notice being taken of the course they pursue. Every man of us here has a tangible appreciable interest in the con- tinuance of good government, in the mainte- nance of religion, in the stability of the Union: To attack any of these is to attack each citizen individually; their injury is his injury; when they are brought into contempt, he cannot be respected; if they fall, he falls with them. H» who attacks them, in fact, is nothing less than @ common enemy. Such an enemy is Mr. Thomas McEirath, the only resident proprietor and publisher of the Tribune newspaper; likewise, President of the Nassau Bank, and bright light of the Methodist Church North. One is wholly at @ loss to perceive what pur- pore Mr. McElrath intends to serve in direct- ing the course of the Tribune in a channel so plainly detrimental to the interests of the coun- try; or how he canreconcile it to his conscience as a Methodist, as a citizen, or as a banker. The fomenting of civil discord is surely nota doctrine of the Methodist Church North. The staid and respectable members of that church are, we are convinced, as solici- tous as the rest of us for the continued peace and proeperity of the country. They have read their Bible too faithfully to be un- aware that he who endeavors to set his neigh- bors by the ears, and light the torch of civil war in his country is as grave an offender against religion as against society. How can Mr. Thomas McElrath take his seat among there men and join them in their common devotions when the whole energies of the newspaper he controls are directed to a work which their be:ief stamps as sinfal and reprehensible in the highest degree? How can he mix with his fellow citizens, when all his apparent labor is devoted to the destruction of their national peace, and the overthrow of that association on which their prosperity depends? Nine-tenths of the lead- ing men of New York are connected in some way or other with the Southwest and South. Some are themselves owners of property in these sections of the country. Others have friends and relatives who are. Others do busi- ness with Southern men. The well being of alt depends in some measure on that of the whole cguntry, including the South. How can Mr, Thomas McElrath look these men in the face, when, if the aims of his journal were accom- plished, or if it had sufficient influence to carry them even partly into practical action, the South and Southwest would be irreparably in jared, and all connected with it woald suffer in proportion? But if so singular a course as that of the leading proprietor of the Tribune is singular in a citizen and a Christian, it is a far m puzzling riddle ina banker. Of all the insti- tutions of civilized society, banks are the most sensitive to political disasters or narrow legis- lation. If any legislative measure injures a country it is the banks who feel it first. For their welfare is founded on the public credit, confidence, and general good will among the people. Yet here is a banker, the president of a bank, who devotes the whole force of the newepaper he owns to the enactment of a law which is calculated to ruin one of the most im- portant branches of trade in the State, and to effect a depreciation of from ten to fifteen per cent on all city property. The same man de- votes the same power to severing the bond ot fraternal union between the North and the Souths to the consummation of a political re- yolution which would inevitably aonihilate the trade and business of New York. Do the share- holders of the Nassau Bank ever reflect on these things? Do they never think that the very power they entrust to Mr. Thomas Mc- Elrath tor their common benefit may be actual- ly employed in endeavouring to promote mea- sures which are sure to invoke their injury and the ruin of the bank ? Tolerance is good; it is excellent; Mr. Mc- Elrath has a right to his opinions. But when @ man frankly tells us it is his conviction that we ought to be ruined instead of prosperous, fighting instead of working, the least we can do is not to help him to carry such convictions into, effect. All the New York hotels, the Astor House, Metropolitan, &c., &¢., have been great friends of McElrath and his corps of de, structives, giving them champagne and oysters in any abundance. How do the hotels like the socialists now? Examination at West Powwt.—The examina- tion at West Point has begun, and we may expect to hear shortly of the performance of the youths who are to be the hope of the United States in case of war. There will be, no doubt, the usual camping out, marching, target prac- tice with heavy artillery, and so forth 3 and the neighbourhood of West Point will doubtless be thronged with visiters for the next fortnight of so. The sighs will be well worth seelog. Law ror Tae Liquor Men.—Hitherto the temperance fanatics have boasted that they have had all the law on their side; butitseems that the liquor dealers’ turn has come. Io Friday’s Zridune appears an appeal trom the Carson League to the people of the city and county of New York, to raise “not only $40,000, but 8 larger sum,” for the purpose of prosecat- ing those whom the managers of the League may choose to consider offenders against the Probibitory statute. The appeal alleges that the liquor dealers have raised $40,000; and bases on this statement its demand for a larger sum, in order to employ counsel and bring all the machinery of the law to bear to prosecute. Considering the motley ingredients of which the population of this city is composed, this appeal might be formidable. Forty thousand dollars and “a stili larger sum” can achieve much. Few men would care to have the blood- hounds of the Carson League on their heels, with forty thousand dollars to back them. Indeed, almost all of us, in our private experience, have been witnesses to the persecution and ruin of some unfortunate wight who had the ill luck to involve himself in a lawsuit with an adver- sary whose means—though less, perhaps, than forty thousand dollars—were quite sufficient to enable him to crush a poor man. Forty thou- sand dollars judiciously invested in lawyers’ fees and spies’ fees, could inflict intolerable inconvenience upon, if they did not procure the ruin, of any man of moderate fortune in the city. We say, therefore, that the appeal of the Carson League, addressed toa community containing many men with more money than brains, as well as many hardened fanatics, might have been formidable. Heppily for the city, the common law has wisely provided for such cases. All the com- mentators, from Blackstone downward, concur in affirming the principle of law, that he who excites a malicious prosecution against his neighbor is guilty of the misdemeanor called barratry, and must be punished accordingly by fine and imprisonment. We find that the offence was epecially noticed, and a penalty provided therefor, in consequence of the trouble ex-- perienced from the knavish wiles of certain English attorneys, who set their neighbors by the ears in order to get fees for conducting the suits, These attorneys appear to have been the lineal progenitors of the Carson League. They strove to get up prosecutions against their neighbors for breaches of this or that law, just as the Car- son League does for imagined breaches of the Prohibitory act. But we do not hear that the attorneys of Westminster ever xppealed to their fellow countrymen for “$40,000 or @ larger sum” for the purpose of fomenting litigation. This difference, however, is not material, and if any thing, aggravates the offence of the New York lawbreakers. We therefore expect that the liquor dealers will lose no time in meting out to others the measure that will be meted oat to them : that they will instantly take steps for the institation of criminal proceedings against Thomas L. Carson, S. A. Beers, H. Roys, J. C. Burdick and as many other mem- bers of the League as can be discovered, on a charge of barratry. There can be no question of the result ; and it cannoé but be beneficial to teach these gentlemen that the law, which they desire to use as an instrument of tyranny, is a two-edged weapon which can be turned against themselves. A Funny Boox —Foster—Gaslight ‘Foster as he has been called—has been beguiling the hours in one of the prisons in Philadelphia by writing a very curious book, which he calls “New York Naked.” He waitks into the edi- tors in great style, stripping off their disguises, shaving off their whiskers, cutting off their moustaches, pulling off their coats, and show- ing them precisely as they appeartobe. Itisa regular cut and thrust concern. Nor Rieut.—The Ruffalo Courier says that the New York Henatp is deserting the Kaow Nothings. This is a mistake. We never be- longed to the Know Nothings. We have taken the Know Nothings in‘o our training school for a few months, to teach them their paces, But if they do not show a little more docility and attention to’ our instructions we shall turn them out, iii let them shift for themselves. We will have nothing to do with any political animals who are not sensible, docile, useful, practical and full of grit. Garrison a Prornet.—Old Garrison, of Boston, the great chief of nigger worship and nigger worshippers, says tnat Kansas will never be a free State; and he gives four sub- stantial reasons why it it will, as long as this Union lasts, be inevitably a slave State. The great nigger worshipper is right in his predic- tion; and the smaller nigger worshippers all over the country may rant and rave as much as they please, but they cannot change tne destiny of Kansas. A Hut For Barnum.—The Louisville Demo- crat thinks that Barnum belongs to the Know Nothings. We do not know how that may be, but we rather think that the democracy will before long belong to Barnum. Barnum is fa- mous for picking up all broken down animals, strange curiosities, old vertebra, or anything that has seen its best days. We sometimes think, therefore, that Barnum will exhibit the democracy in his Museum one of these days, before the inauguration of 1857, when George Law is called to the White House. Tae Crists Has Come.—Thus sayeth a Seward paper in Buffalo, the Express. We rather think the erisis has come for Seward and his clique, for beween the democrats and the Kaow Nothings in the last election of this State, they will be ground into powder and scattered to the four winds of heaven. Marine Affairs. Lavxcu.—Messrs. Crowell & Colon launched, from their yard at Elizabethport, N. J., on Saturday, at 11 o'clock A. M , a three masted schooner, of superior build and model, of 450 tons burthen, owned by Captain Wm- Cathcart, who is to command her, andothers, She is de. aigned for the general freighting business. A Vapi Mxovm von Sarions.—Mr. F, Frady, of 12 Amn street, has published, in small book form, the “Maritime Flogs of all Nations.” The flags, pilot signals, &2., are mely colored, and under each is printed a geo- sketch of the countries and places to which they belong. It is avery useful book for sailors, ina convenient size, and contains much interesting infor- mation. Sup Bureprva mw Maren. —There are ten large ships now being built at Belfast.

The blockade of the steamship United States by the government vessels is still kept up, nor is there appa- rently any abatement of the vigilance of the besieging force, The revenue cutter has crept nearer the steam- ship, and her battery of guns, shotted to the muzzle, bristle angrily under her stern, while all on deck giver evidence of the utmost watchfulness.

It appears they have petitioned the Common Council, apd they have reason to believe their request will be favorably considered, as many of ‘the Aléermen agree with them that the pay is insuffl- cient.
