This knotiy point being settled, the Oonvention will probably next resume the consi- @eration of the naturalization question. Although our despatches from Philadelphia mike me mention of any formal bolting of the abolition faction, the report of the proceedings of the fanatics eongregated yesterday at Cleveland, Ohio, which we publish, is conclusive evidenve that the aboli- téenista have set up for themselves. The Kaow Somethings, organized under the presidency of Johu W. Stebbins, of Rochester, adopted the title of ‘the Republican party, appointed committees, and yan up the black flag, with freedom and Protestant- iam, without regard to party predilections,color, race, or condition, inscribed on ite folds. The convention ia represented as being very enthusiastic. Gen. Wilson and ex Governor Boutwell, of Massacha- setts, are expected to take part in its deliberations, bat there isa reasonable doubt as to the latter qentieman’s participation. The New Hampshire House of Representatives yesterday elected James Boll and John P.Hale to the United States Senate, the former for the long termand the latter for tne short term. Mr. Beli received 224 out of 311 votes, and Mr. Hale receiv- 4 208 ont of 307 votes cast. The democratic can- , @idates, Hibbard and Wells, received 81 and 82 votes respectively. The State Senate will probably ge into an election in a day or two. By the arrival of the steamship Atlantic yester- -@ay morning, we are in possession of seven days ‘Jeter intelligence from Earope. Her news -is of a highly important character. On the mghts of the ‘234 aad 24th of May, General Pelissier inaugurated the commencement of a series of vigorous apera- ‘teons.in the Crimes, by carrying a fortified open @pace between the central bastion of the fortifica- tiens ef Sebastopol and the sea, from whence it was imtended to support the sorties of the garrison. From 5,000 to 6,000 Russians are stated to have been put hors de combat in this affair. ‘The second expedition to Kertc had been 2:- ‘tended with brilliant success. Tae allied troops ‘were disembarked at that town on Queen Victoria's ‘birthday, and the Russians fled, blowiag up their Gortifications on both sides of the straitsand de- e@troying their steamers. Ten vessels and fifty guas fell into the hands of the allies. Sabsequent dea patches from Sir George Browo aad Sic Eimand Lyons had announced the destructioa of four Rus- iam war steamers and of large depots of corn by ‘the Russiaus themselves. The ailied troops had succeeded in blowing up a magazine at Arabat, aad iam deatroying about one hundred merchani vessels. ‘We make some further reference to this affair in our editorial columns. Nothing has as yet been done by the allied fleets imthe Baltic. They are anchored within sixteon miles of Crenstadt. The farther peace conferences anudunced ag being about to be held at Vienna, on the 28th, had mot taken place, the necessary instructions from London not having arrived. We noticein the Gazette de France a ramor that @ conference between the Emperor Alexander and several other sovereigns, (names not specified,) was bout to be heldat Myskovitz. The Czar was to be accompanied there by his mother. ‘The following statement appears in the last num ber of the Independence Belge:—“ As the anticipated commentary of the note in the Moniteur on the fortifications of Kamiesch, there was a rumor gene- rally carrent yesterday in Paris that if the new operations commenced by General Pelissier had for result to beat the Russian army 1 the field, and to sccupy the southern part of Sebastopol, the allies would not push farther their successes on thas side, and would quit the Crimea—leaving merely a gar. rison of 20,000 men at Kamietch. This is as yet only a rumor, to which the note published this morning bythe Moniteur gives a certaiu cousis- tency.” ‘We copy from the Moniteur the reply of Conant Waleweki, the new French Minister of Foreiga Affairs, to the note recently published by Couct Nesselrode, giving the Russian version of the late negotiations at Vienna. Count Walewski’s answer is written with more ability than we had given him credit for, It has probably been drawn up by M. de Thouvenel. 4 There has been an attempt at a Carlist insurrec- tion at Saragotsa. The government had, however, no difficulty in putting an extinguisher upon it. The Pope is going to excommunicate Sardiaia, after all. Our turn will come next. The motions in the English Parliament, impeach: ing the conduct of committees in connection with the war, have been defeated by aristooratic influ- ence. Lord Grey has got himself into trouble by taking part in the movement. His motion was negatived without a division. Oar file of the Singapore (E. I.)

It eays:—The impoits of gold and gold dust during the month consisted of 1,404 buncals from the Archipelago. ‘The rates reported for Australian are $29 to $294 for bars, and $28 to $284 per buncal for dust. Exports, as above, 978 buncals. In consequence of the Atlantic’s news, the cotten market became sgain excited yesterday, with sales of 6,000 @ 7,000 bales, at the fall advance of jo. per Ib. Common grades of flour declined about 12h¢. per bbl. A small lot of Canadian white wheat mold at $2 478 $250. Corn was active, including onsilerable lots for export. The chief sales were im Western mixed. Sound shipping lots on the spot ‘Were about the same, while unsound and Inferior were rather lower. Provisions generally were firm with fair sales. There was more doing in coffee, = and the sales of Rio reached about 3,800 bags. ‘Sagars sold to the extent of about 700 a 800 hhds. Prreights were dull to most parte.

From reliable authority we are fully convinced that nene are appointed on his staff but graduates, prin- cipally from our city colleges, and of the very high: est cheracter. No one can be appointed to a position inthe Penitentiary hospital unless the spplicant be recommended and vouched or as possessing high medical abilities aud good moral character. These commend story letters must come from pay- sicians end surgeons of high and known standing in their profession. We learm that the charge “of treating compound fracture wita calomel aad jalap” was net applied to Dr. Sanger and his staff, as this accurrence did no: take place at the hospi- tals under his charge. Dr. 8. has had long service and experience ia our public hospitats, and has, we believe, always given satisfaction to tue pablic. It. is pretty sate to suppose that bis medical sppoimt- mente will be good ones. Gur Havana corrgspondence, published in smother column, states that a rumor prevailed prewieus to the departure of the steamer, that @:neral Coavha “had beem’superseded. The name of his eaccessor had gottrancpired. The unfortuaate Felix ‘sailed for Cadiz on the Ist inst., but what his tate may be ultimately is unknown. The report relative to the yolustary abolition of slavery by the planters is said to be well fcunded, however absurd it-appears, bany, was entered and robbed of $3,000 worth of preperty on Tuesday night. Yesterday morning George Roberteon, David King, John Smith, and flomuel Fisher, all of this city, were arrested oa ‘board a yacht at the dock ai Castleten, by the po “lice of Albany. They confessed the ‘burglary,caad -were committed to prison to answer. The brig Wm. T. Dagan, arrived. yesterday‘from Port au Prince, lost several of her tiands by yellow fever. Joseph Babcock, son of the captain, died on the 17th ult. at Port au Princo; Wm. Borse?, of New York, on the 28th ; and et sea, on the 31st, Orlap Aspen, of New York. Tho brig: Delafieid, alao arrived yesterday from tho same place, lost two of her seamen— Jobn Smith, on shore on the 23d, and at sea onthe 7th inst., John H. Bogart, both by yellow fever. The case of Lyman Uole wasadjournedyesterday, the District Attormey refusing to fix the day on which it should be resumed, and stating that be would try him on some other indictment. In regard to the contempt case, Mr. Busateed intends that it shall come on if possible on Saturday morning next. The Board of Aldermen met in convention last evening, in pursuance of a resoiution passed on the 5th inst., forthe purpose of appointing the civil and criminal court clerks of this city, and their de- berations resulted in the election of clerks for three districts, among whom was Wm. H. Canniff, long connected with the daily press, who received a unanimous vote. In the Board of Councilmen a long preamble and resolutions were offered, lecturing the Mayor for his denial of the right of the Board to interfere with the Police \force, and postpoving indefinitely the pro- Position to add thirty-thres members to the police department. This pitiful attempt to snub the Mayor will fail to have the effect intended by its promoters. The Commissioners of Emigration last evening appropriated one thousand dollars to defray the ex- pense of preparing Casile Garden for the reception of emigrants. A series of rules regulating the land- ing of passengers were adopted. Ip consequence of the abeence of the Mayor and the Recorder last evening, the Board of Supervisors were unable to organize for the transaction of the ordinary business. A few bills were received aud referred, snd the Board adjourned to the first Mon- day in July. The American Council at Philadelphia—Its Probable Results. Whatever may be the results.of the present discussion on the platform of the American party, the meeting of the Ounvention at Phila- deiphia muss exercise & wido and potent infla- ence on the movements of parties between this and the next Presidential election. It is quite doubtful whether this influence can be seriously affected by the upshot of the pending discus- sion on the platform. I+ would probably be felt none the less, even though the Convention were to eplit asunder on the slavery question. Whatever may be done now, the past course and policy ot the Know Nothing bedy has al- ready given a new direction to the political tide, and it seems very uxlikely that any event can intercept its eflect upon the elections of the next two years and the Presidential contest of 1856. We have already published an estimate— founded on the recent elections in Massachu- setts and Virginia, and also ou the recorded number of the American Councils in the seve- ral States—which goes to show that the number of Know Nothing votes in the United States falis but little short at the present time ofa million and a half. This great number of citi- zens are probably divided among from five to six thougand separate Councils. Now these are great and important facts. The organization, under a comprehen- sive name and with a view to the election of a President, of such a vast body of men is a fact far more important and significative than all the abstractions or philosophical theories that may be incorporated in or excluded from the plattorm of the party. It is manifest that the old whig party has al- ready disappeared from the face of the earth. Not a single wreck of its former self survives in any of the States in any political shape ; here, we have now and then a galvanic twitch from the corpse, but it only serves to bring ri- dicule on a relic of antiquity which ought to be respectable, and meets with no sort of re- *ponse in any of the other States. It becomes, day by day, more evident that the great con- test in 1856 must be between the democracy, demaged and shattered as it has been by the present wretched administration, and this ne» Know Nothing party. These are the only really antagonistic parties in the Union, and if there is to be avy contest at all it must be be- tween them. From this point of view, it is difficult to ex- aggerate the importance of the Council at Phi- ladelphie. More important it is certainly then the mass of the community at all conceive or imagine ; perhaps more so than most of the members themselves venture to think. But, at the same time, it is quite clear that the bulk of ts importance depends mainly on its fature ac tion for good or for evil. If it can remain united, holding iteelf aloof from the extreme mcn on either side, and setting before it as ite chief end the preservation of the integrity of the Union ; and if when the proper time comes, the perty it represents can agree upon a suita- ble man, with enough persoual popularity to relieve the party from the whole responsibility of electing him, the chances are imminent that it will sweep the field in 1856, in opposition to the democracy, reorganized as it will be for a deeperate fight. Another important point or feature in the proceedings of the Convention at Philadelphia is the obvious impossibility of devising any platform that will be satisfactory to the ex, tremes of the North and the South on the sub jeet of slavery. The sooner such 2 notion is wholly aud Miplly abandg.ve ay yislowary, thy ‘The dry gocds store of J. W.

Neither isit, in on hoe policy for a mere Conv: ntion con for general purposes, like that. ut present sitting at Philadelphia, to trensfcem itself inte a Congress, and to attempt to legiriat, ona question-in no wise brought before them. We are wholly at a loss to eee W! at bwsiness the Convention at Philadelphia has te‘take steps regarding the future condi- tion-ef the 'Perritories of Kansas and Nebraska. Jt'ig qnite certain that men of large and com- préaenaive minds and national instincts and perposes would never fritter away their etrength on isolated questions which are only tikely #2 be brought up at long intervals of time in Congress for special and practical le- gislation. Pknty of grounds remain, however, among the public questions of the day, on which a party may be constructed witha fair prospect of stelbility and success, and which contain no germ of digorder or disunion among the associates. Such a ground appears to be the corruption and folly of the two old parties. A better ground for organization still is opposition to the imbe- cility, wickednees and other mischievous traits of the present administration. Both of these contain scores of sound and serviceable planks for a platform for the new party. Take any man at hazard and the chances are that, unless he be be an officeholder, he is ready to join in opposing both the old parties and the present administration without reference to the politi- cal consequences. In fact, it would be impossi- tle to invent a more universally popular ground to stand on. North and South, right and left, men are acquainted with the trickery and folly and wickedness of the Pierce administration : each one hes some particular objection to make ; one demurs to the Greytown outrage, another cannot forgive the miserable weakness display- ed in the debate with Spain, a third has on his heart the ‘renegade course pursued by the President on the Nebraska bill, a fourth has not forgotten the glorious promises of the inaugu- ralor their shameful violation ; and, as all administrations are necessarily unpopular with the maeses, this one, which’has-earned for itself surpassing contempt and hatred, has sunk to a depth of obloquy which of itself would insure the snccess of any party fairly arrayed against it. Twist, and writhe as they will, the demo- cratic party must be driven to support this administration if the Know Nothings put pro- minently forward their opposition of it; and what sortof a fight will the “ancient demo- cracy” make, with all their pluck and all their numbers, when it comes to defending, flat footed, the sack of Greytown, the re-opening of the slavery sore, the pro-slavery acts of a converted-free-soiler, the wholesale corruption now flourishing at Washington, the shameful prostitution.of the national dignity by the foreign appointments, and each and all the unspeskable follies and infamies which have marked the disgraceful administration of Franklin Pierce? They may shirk the load, and there is small doubt but they will, if the Know Nothings, give them a chance by building on some other,platform than opposition to the administration. Neat Dow ow .tHz Derence.—Neal Dow, the ather of the Prohibitory law, and the last patron of the measure who has imbrued his hands in human blood, has writte 1 apology for his conduct at Portland in wil he endeavors to show that he ordered the peo- ple of that.city to be shot down in the streets in order to prevent their tearing or burning down the Oity Hall, and destroying the liquor. This defence presents many curious points. In the firet place, we have nothing but Neal Dow’s opinion as to the intention of the mob, He chooses to think they intended to burn the City Hall. Persons who.were among them, and who have found respectable organs in the news- papers of the place deny that any such inten. tion was entertained for an instant. The offi- a long time Weed hated Bennett of the Heratp, and took every occasion to give him a dig, but- of late ex-President Fillmore has bec»me the principal target for Weed’s christianlike male- dictions. Hardly three days pase in which time he does not fly an arrow into the respec- table character of the amiable ex-Presidens, who of late has been. beyond the reach of his missiles, and therefore heeds him not. The Campaign in the Crimca—Important Successes of the Alltes, The complexion of the news received by the Atlantic seems favorable to the prospects of the Allies in the Crimea. The impulse given to the energies of their governments at home by the murmurings of popular discontent, has already made itself manifest in some important advan- tages obtained in that quarter. They have to thank them for the principle so strenuously ad- vocated by Layard—that of putting the right men in the right place. Troops enough and money enough they could command to carry out their plans; but their blind disregard of this fundamental condition of strategical as well as administrative success, has hitherto baffied all their calculations and disconcerted all their projects. It required a pressure from public opinion so significant as to menace the very framework ot aristocratical institutions, to con- vince English administrations of their unpatrio- tic errors. Even Louis Napoleon, notwith- standing the despotic restraints which he has imposed upon the French press, has seen fit to profit by the lessons of English journalism. The recent changes which have taken place in the commands of the French army are concessions to the politely expressed, but still unequivocal censures to which it has from time to time given utterance respect- ing the character of the French as well asof the English military and naval appoint- ments. The results that ave been accom- plished since the recent changes in both com- mands, demonstrate at once the justice of these strictures and the utility of opposing the dictates of common sense to professional preju- dices and ministerial routine. Since the acts of the Aberdeen administration were first over- hauled in Parliament the condition of the Eng- lish troops in the Crimea has gradually amelio- rated, until now we are told that they are in as satisfactory a state, as regards beth physique and morale, as any army can be. Since the overcaution and personal infirmities of Canro- bert and the senile imbeeility of Raglan have been substituted or neutralized by the daring and restless energy of the hero of the Dahra and the professional incapacity of Dundas re- placed by the quick eye and dashing intrepidi- ty of Sir Edmund Lyons, a vitality and vigor have been imparted to the operations of the Allies, which, if persevered in, may ensure the solution of that difficult problem—the capture of Sebastopol. To judge accurately of the importance of these professional changes, as well as-of the re- cent successes to which they have led, it is ne- cessary to enter somewhat more in detail into the latter. It appears that between the central bastion of the fortifications of Sebasto- pol and the sea the Russians had formed a large place d’armes, where they were about to as- semble considerable forces to assist them in their sorties. General Pelissier seeing at once the advantage which such a point d’appui would ete. the enemy, determined to carry the Place by ASBANLL, WUtLL woo wuvsdtugly duus by the French after two nights’ desperate fight- ing. The loss of the Russians in this affair is estimated by the French General to be from 5,000 to 6,000 men. This dashing operation, and the success which attended it, place the ‘military talents and energy of Pelissier in fa- vorable contrast with those of his predecessor, and of his English associate, Lord Ragian. It was followed up on the 25th by another equally ju- dicious movement—the taking possession of the line of the Tchernaya by the French, and the establishment of a camp at Tchorgoum. It is cer of militia te whom Neal Dow first offered the post of executioner and who boldly refused to act, has positively declared that there was no symptom among the crowd of any such de- sign ae justified a resort to violence on the part of fe authorities. And in trath when we think of it, every man must see that the burn- ing of a City Hall is by no means an act which a crowd would be likely to commit with- out some extraordinary and intolerable provo- cation. To bring the case home to ourselves, Suppoee a crowd assembled here on any occa- sion of public interest ; would any one expect that it would be likely to meditate injury to the City Hall or any other monument? Would not in plain words the worst of the Bowery b’hoys be ready to fight if need were, in defence of a building inseparably connected in his mind with the grandeur and growth of his native city? Neal Dow’s assumption, to say the least of it, is not based on any thing like a probability. Again, what is the abstract moral view of the liquor question? Neal Dow and his party say that liquor is a pernicious substance, a poison, and so forth, which ought to be pro- hibited. In the West and in parts of the coun try where the laws are administered with laxity, they stimulate women, children and fanatics to attack liquor stores, and more than once we have had to record anaccouat of a similar outrage, applauded by the teetotal orgens. Yet here at Portland it seems that when the crowd wanted to destroy the liquor belonging to the city grogshop, Neal Dow called out his soldiers and shot them down. There is some strange inconsistency here. Either liquor isa good thing, and in that case the destroyers of it in the West should be tried and punished, and the Prohibitory people stopped off; or it is a bad thing, and, if 96, why did Neal Dow shoot people to prevent their destroying it? Wither horn of the dilemma seems fatal to the temperance patriarch, At all events, whatever excuses Mr. Dow may make, and whatever arguments may be adduced in the controversy, one thing is quiie certain: this teetotal system, which is of doubt- ful constituttonality and o clear infringement of the rights of mankind, leads directly to riot, bloodshed and disorder, A course of legisla- tion which creates such hostility among an intelligent people must have some weak points in its character ; and these, with their conse- quences, are quite sufficient to show that all prohibitory legislation is wrong in principle and isnot adapted to any portion of the people. Werp on FinuMore.—Thurlow Weed never lets slip an opportunity to give ex-President Fillmore a dig when a good chance offers, Weed is a farmaons example of the opposite of | the good Christian maxim—“Love one an- other.’ He reverses the matter, and reads it | bote one snother-—by all means hate one an. | other, partivularly if they are politivinng, Dur ‘hee yo.oe mady gv profuusd aa unpressiog op stated in addition that an immediate attack is to be made upon the force under Liprandi by an allied army of 100,000 men. The results of the second expedition to Kertch, the details of which will be found in an- other column, are, however, of much greater importance than any present military advan- tages, inasmuch as they compromise in a great degree the fate of the campaign. The destruc- tion by the Allies of the forts which protect the Sca of Azoff, and the occupation of the Straits of Yenikale and the adjacent peninsula of Kertch, place in their possession the key to one of the principal approaches to the Russian ter- ritories, and enable them to cripple to some extent their interior trade. Besides this, the cecupation of the Straits will interrupt the supplies which the Russian forces in the Crimea have been hitherto drawing from the Sea of Avzoff, and render the sustenance of a large army in the peninsula a matter of extreme diffculty—cut off as it would be from all sap- plies by sea, It is supposed that it was the ap- prehension of th’s expedition, and its results, that deterred the Russians from accumulatin;; an overwhelming force in the Crimea. In connection with these successes, it is ru- mored that a decided change has taken place in the disposition of the Russian government, and that the peace party are again in the as- cendant— the Grand Duke Constantine having resigned his office of Grand Admiral. It is scarcely necessary to say thatin this instance, as well asin many others, the report is too near the flash for it to carry with it mach gravity. The policy of Russia—the offspriag of so many ambitious and enterprising minds, and the deliberate result of a centary of calcu- lation—is not to be diverted from its purpose or changed jn a moment by these first calami- ties of the war. They are counterbalanced by the sucesees which Russian arms have achieved up to this point of the campaign, and they may be neutralized by the future advantages which they moy win. So far from seeing in these successes of the Allies any immediate prospect of Russia conceding the points in dispute, we believe that they will only eerve to confirm her still more strongly in her obstinacy. She is as yet far removed from the prostrate con- dition in which alone it would be consistent with her honor or her dignity to submit, A New Prima Donna at toe Orera-—The Academy of Music announce, after postpone- ment, tbat on Saturday next,a new American primadonna will make her début in the charac- ter of Linda di Chamounix, in the opera of that name.

From thence she went to Milan, where she made her début in Linda, with remarkable success ; and has now returned to try her fortune asan opera singer among her own countrymen. We have no doubt but her reception will be worthy of the promise she has held ont, and the exer- tions she has made to fulfil it. By the way, there was some time since a critic attached to one of the daily journals of this city, who having vainly endeavored to persuade the Academy of Music to perform a composition of his, attacked its character, ac- cused it of neglecting the object for which it had been established, and pronounced it a What will this gentleman do now? Hecan hardly call the engagement of Mies Hensler a violation of the understanding that the Academy was to encourage music in America.
