By the arrival of the Canada at Halifax, we have three days later intelligence from Europe. Her news is singularly barren of interest. A telegraph- to despatch from General Simpson, dated the 4+h, states that no fresh operations had taken place be- fore Sebastopol up to that time. The Allies were strengthening their advances against the Malakoff tower. From some further details given of ‘he af: fair of the 18th, it appears that the disasters of tmat day were caused first by a French Ganeral, Morgan, (Magnan, we presume,) commencing the attack betore the other divisions had taken their ground, and secondly by Lord Rogian order- ing the attack on tne Redan to effsct a diversion in favor of the French, which is considered a great error of judgment, asthe British storming party were not strong envugh to carry the works, and were ac ordingly driven back with great slaughter. Wt is stated that General Eyre actually penetrated wwto the suburbs of the town and held one of the streets for seventeen hours! Being unsupported, he was obliged to retire at nightfall. Had ths at- tack been properly planned it is thougat Sebasto- pol must have fallen into the possession of tha Aller. The remains of Lord Raglan were interred on the 3d with great solemnity. Thare is a ramor ot General Peligsier being about to be mpersadad. The loan of 750,000,000 francs asked for by the French Emperor, has been ssuctioned by the legis- lative body. The Austrian Minister is said to have taken umbrage at the paveage in his Majesty’s speech referring to his government, and demanded an explanation. A rising in Catalonia is reported, but from the few facta stated it does not appear to be Carlist in ite origin. The Spanish Minister haa had a long interview with Louis Napoleon on the affairs of Spain. The bombardment and destruction of Nyatadt by the British is contirmed. The firat annual regatta of the Harlem Yacht Ohab was set down for yeet2rday, but the weather being unfavorable, the race was abandoned. Eight boats entered for the raze, but had not wind exouzh te ran their race course within the time demanded by the rules of the club. The race will ba rene ved sgain to-day. This isan excellent c'ub, and bids fair to become ths popular club of the city. It has all the virtues of the Hoboken c!ub, with none of its snobiem or exclusiveness.

The synopsis of Governor Reed>r’s moszage to the Kansas Legislature is published under the tole- graphic head. it will be seen that, upon the qass- tion of locating the seat of government, the Legisla- ture has selected Shawnee Mission, notwithstanding the executive veto. The Whig State Central Committee met yester. day at the Astor Honse, and decided on holdiag tie Whig State Convention on tho 26:h of September. There was 4 large lobvy of Soward whigs in atien- @ance, headed by Taurlow Weed, and a number of very interesting political topics were talked over ta the committee, a5 will be seen by our report else. where.

It was stated tha: $10,000 worta of liquor was used on Ward’a Island daring the past year. A‘ Staten Island, where the ure of liquor bas been abolished, the mortality is said to be moch less thanon Ward’s Island. From the rewarke of Commissioner Kelly it appears thers ia great need of reform on Ward's Island, as the bills for meat and provisions are a4 high now, with & population of 2,100, as they formerly were wita ‘the care of 3,700 emigrants, The anti-renters and temperance party have not yet ixdicated their time or place of meeting. We bave receive another lengtoy communior tion feom Mr. Ewen, of San Fraavises, in regly to Judge Edmonds’ last statement of facts in conage: tion with the identity of Col. Joun P. Lan. Ay Jong as the controversy wae likely to amuse or edify our readers we were not indisp sod ty give i & place in onr co'umns. We go in for snythiag in the shape of “startling developemonts” or “‘astoun 4 ing revelations” from the spiritual world; ba: wheu their ghortebips get prosy we do not think chat we ought to inflict their twaddling upon our readers. It we insert Mr. Ewen’s letter, we shall be com- pelied to publish another rejoinder from the Jadygs. avd aa we bave already civen both sides a fair hearing, it ia not necensary that we should ssorifica wuy more of our space to such an ugprotitable dis cupsion. It having been stated that the French govern: ment are in our markets for the charter of yeasela for Conatantinople and the Crimea, we have made inquiries upon the subject, and have the beet au thority for stating that the French goverames: have made no charters of the kind, here or e's where in the United States, aad @ili not. Coe vee gole they may require would only be taken by d rect application from the sents oo arcival ata pot pe Daye, and alee Chalinanunn wy bid HOrofamans sarveyors.

Coffee was in far demand, at full prices. There wae more corn offering for Liverp20l, though at low rates, and some larger engagements were made. Small lots of cotton were taken at 3-16d. ‘The Seward Anti-Siavery Alliance, and Their Humbug of the Restoration of the Mus- sourt Line, The new Northern Anti-Slavery Alliance, which, ina formal State convention in Ohio, have just been christened “the republican party,” have invested their stock in trade in the Kaneas and Nebraska bill. Upon this sub- .ect they have resolved— Ast. That the Miseouri restriction of 1820, prohibiting slavery north of the geographical line of 36 degrees 30 minutes, shall be restored; and they appear to be directing their efforts mainly to this consummation. 2a. That whether the Kausas-Nebraska bill be cr not be repealed, no slave State shall be admitted into the Union from any territory north of the said Missouri line. 3d. That no more slave States shall be ad- mitted into the Union from any territory inside or outside of our present limits, on either side of the aforesaid geographical line. This covers the whole ground. These three resolutions are equivalent to the three adopted at a meeting of the early Puritan fathers of Mas- sachusetts— first: Resolved, that the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; second, that the saints shall inherit the earth; third, that we are the saints, The third resolution absorbs tte merits of the whole question. But the first avowed object of our agitators and demegogues of this piebald republican party, of which Seward is the snnointed head, and Joshua R. Giddings the whisking tail, is the repeal of the Kansas-Nebraska Dill, and the restoration of the Missouri line, Gen. Wilson of Massachusetts, Col. Ford of Ohio, Gov. Johnson of Pennsylvania, and all the anti-slavery organs, pipelayers, co!por- teurs, demagogues, fanatics, and old women, all agree opon this point with W. H. Seward, that the Missouri restriction must be restored, so that, in the Territories of Kansas aad Ne- braska “there shall be neither slavery nor io- voluntary servitude, except in the punishment ot crime.” This restriction is to be restored by Congress. Its advocates assume that they have secured the necessary moajcrity in the House of Representatives already, not only to do the work, but to coerce the concurrence of the Senate. Their plan is somewhat fierce and revolu- tionary; but as violent diseases reqnire violent remedies, our leading nigger worshippers as- sure us that the South will have to grin and bear it. They simply propose to pass through the House their bill restoring the Missouri line, and to withhold all bills of supplies for whe necessary expenses of the government until the Senate shall come to their senses and concur in the bill of freedom for Kansas and Nebraska, That such a scheme as this, if persisted in, can result in anything else thea an abrupt revolutionary dissolution of Con- gress, no rational man, we presume, is pre- pared to believe. That it will be persisted in, is scarcely probable—that a bill to restore the Missouri line can bea passed by the next House of Representatives is exceedingly doubtfol ; that it will be pissed we do not believe; and as for the restoration of the Missouri line, now or hereafter, it is about as likely as the restoration of the alien and sedition laws of the elder Adams, or the resto- ration of Texas or California to Mexico. Since the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bil), and under that constitutional provisioa of the act, which leaves the domestic institations of those Territories to be settled by tne people thereof, a considerable number of emigrants from the Southern States have settled in Kau- sas with their slaves. They are there, aod Congress cannot touch them in any act wanton- ly confiscating their property. The slaves held by settlers in Kansas, in the event of a change in the organic law prohibiting slavery ther, oust be paid for, or their masters must be in- dempified for all losses consequent upoa their removal from the Territory. The questions of the restoration of the Missouri line now, and the abolition of slavery in the District of Co- lumbia, are in principle the same thiug. We conclude, therefore, that this agitation of the restoration of the Missouri restriction is a hum- bug, @ delusion, and a snare to catch silly negro worshippers, upon the false pretence of immediate and practical anti-slavery legisla- tion. But the followers of our anti-slavery demo. gogues ought to know better, for they are well aware that itis no part of the policy of our abolition and free soil philanthropists, in any case, to indemnify the slavebolder for the loss of his slave property. It is their policy to rob him of his siaves, and to excite them to flight, to murder, and insurrection, as the occa-ien may require. Their object is not so mach the blessing of freedom to the Southern negro, as the malicious spojiation of his master; we may, therefore, rest assured that, as the restoration of the Missouri line must involve a bill of in- demnities to the slaveholdiag settlers ia Kan. ag, there will be no serious effort in Congress by our negro worshippers to carry the mea- ure. All this threateniog and blustering, then, of the mouthing orators and organs of the anti- Siavery Holy Alliance, concerning the restora- tion of the Missouri black line, is all mere rant, cant, and deception. The Kansas and Nebraska law will stand. The question of slavery in those Territories will continue to rest with the people thereof; and when they shall assume the functions of a State, and ask for admission into the Union, with or without slavery, they will be admitted. If Kansas shall apply as a slave State, she may meet with some fastious opposi- tion from Northern di-unionists; bat the result will be the same as in the case of the Texas question, the final succcss of the mea-ure and the addition ot another State to the Union. We are the more sangnice of this result from these considerations, to wit:—that this qnes- tion of the admission of Kansas into the Uaion ae a sovereign State, will go over to the next | Administration, and that in the campaign of adn (150 the conmsvalive masses Of ue Adecicnu | in thes capacity.

There would be danger were there no other parties in the field than Northern nigger worshippers on the one side, and tbe spoils democracy and Soathera fire-eaters on the other; but with a powerful and steadily augmenting national party, fresh from the people, standing between them, there is little to fear. ‘We have been threatened from our leading anti-clavery organs with a terrible storm—a re- gular rattling tornado—against the South aod the Union. Let itcome. The sooner, perhaps, the better. It will serve, at least, to wake up the people. The Wheat Crop of 1849 and the Crop of 1855, We find the following comparative table of the wheat crop of 1849, as shown in the United States census of 1850, and the estimated crop of 1855, in the Cincinnati Price Current:— 1849, 1855. a 18,000,600 5,367,000 18,000,000 Tear 000 Py 1,000 G ”294,000 "00°00 , 580,000 2'500,000 2,142,000 3,000, 000 2,981,000 4,000,000 1,619,000 3,500,000 286, 7,000,000 Totalta.ssss.sesseeee enna «02)088,000 Since the season of 1849, and including the pre- sent year, in nearly all the Western States at east one-third more acres of land have been placed under cultivation; while in New Englani, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, the number of acres cultivated have been but slightly if at all augmented. Bat this year’s crop, according to all accounts, will yield probably one-fourth more bushels of wheat on the same number of acres than the soil produced six yearsago. If we acknow- ledge these facts, and we see no grouads for con'radiction, the above aggregate of one bun- dred and fourteen and a half millions of bush- els, or an increase over the yield of 1849 of i= = & 3 2 = 5 but twenty-two millions of bushels in the four- teen States named, does not even approximate to the probable actual result. For instance, the estimated yield of Ohio is put down a; sixteen millions, while an average crop in that State would be twenty-two millions of bushels; and in Illinois, from whence we have a report that the crop would be twenty- five millions, which, however, we regard as altogether too high a figure, the table above allows only thirteen millions. In New York’ the increase over 1849 is put down at 1,879,000, while, in fact, it will not fall much short of veing three millions bushels greater than the comps rative meagre yield of that year. We have prepared the following table after a great deal ot calenlation, which we give for the bevefit of speculators, and which we think will be ac- knowledged, and will no doubt be found to be a great deal nearer the actual aggregate of the wheat crop this year in the States named than that of our cotemporary in Cincinnati :— —-—Bushels Wheat 1349, 1855, 14,487,C00 15,367,000 Total... eee apie 7.92,086,000 156,790,009 This shows an aggregate of nearly one hua dred and fifty-seven million bushels of wheat, as the estimated product of the crop ia 1855 in fourteen States, which is an iacrease over the production of 1849 of over sixty-two and a half millions of bushels. If we continue oar figures for the balaace of the States and Territories we shail be able to form some estimate of the entire crop of the country. We put them down as folluws:— Arbapess Catiforvia. District of 482,000 1,000 1,088,000 1,900 31,000 137,000 183,000 New Jersey. 1,601,090 2,000,000 North Caroliaa, 130,000 2}800,000 Rhode lalsnd, _ —- South Carolina, 1,036 000 1,290,000 41,000 100'000 535,009 6*0'000 1,000 52,000 196,600 409,000 211,000 500,020 107,000 500,000 - 290.000 - 209,000 Total +. 8,382 000 11,872,000 14 States in previous table 92,080,000 156,700,009 Grand total........... 100,468,000 168,572,000 By the above, it will be seen, that our esti- mates make one hundred and sixty-eight aud a half million bushe!s of wheat as the total yielt of the present season, which is sixty-eight mil- Jion bushels over that of 1849. The value of the wheat crop in that year is put dowa in the census report at $100,000,000. If we value the present crop at a dollar aad a quarter a dushel— which will probably be its average price—it will be worth an aggregate of more thaa two hundred and ten and a half millions of dollars A Fonsy Feiiow.—The editor of the Rich mond Examiner isa philosopher, 9 wit, and a wag.

In the able letter of Mr. Chapm n to the Governor, he says:—‘I am under the obligation of an oath to support the const tution of the United S:ates and the con: titution o! Massachusetts, and this act (nul- lifying the fugitive slave law, acd making obedience to it ia Massachusetts a criminal of- fence,) palpably and grossly violates both,” Well said. Perury is a bitter dose for an honest man to swallow, even though it be sugar coated with negro philanthropy. We hope that the Chapmans and Bunkers will make them- selves heard in Massachusetts, to some purpose, before they are done with this personal liberty bill. CoroneL Kinney Run AGrounp.—The most persevering, and of late the most unfortunate Anglo-Saxon colony builder of the present ge- neration is Colonel Kinney. After all his efforts, and expenditures of time, patience, and money to get up a “ peaceful” armed expsdi- tion for Nicaragua, which would sweep the country from stem to stern, and take posses- sion of it, including the Nicaragua Transit line, he was compelled to leave his flag ship under blockade in this port by the whole United States home squadron, and compelled to put to sea en route for Nicaragua in a small schooner, with seventeen followers. Doubtless this was anecessity of his arrangement with Colonel Walker, of California, He expected Walker to be in Nicaragua at acertain time, and it was necessary at all hazards to meet him there, with such resources as could be commanded. Colonel Walker, eure enough, has invaded Nica- Tegua, and has met with a warm reception, while Colonel Kinney, instead of being on hand to second bis colleague, is grounded among the reefs of the Turks Islands, But he is off again for Nicaragua in a British vessel. Will he be in time? Quien sabe. Tue Court or Carus at WasHINGTON.—From the style in which it proceeds to business, the new Court of Claims at Washington is likely to prove # perfect El Dorado or California gold mine to the lawyers. The following named gentlemen have been sworn as attorneys of the Court, by way of a commencemen Obarles A. May, of New York; Willie P. Mangum, jr., ot Washington; H. I. Stevens, of Pontiac, Mich! ja. thapiel Hatch, of Washington; Casrlss Lee 8, of Waehington; Daniel Webster, of Philadelphia; Asbury Lloyd, of Wasbington. —And several hundred lawyers have been ad- mitted to practice in the court within a few days past; and “still they come,” great and small. The business of the lobby in pushing, and intriguing, and log-rolling fat and lean claims througn Congress, is gone. It is trans- ferred to this Court of Claims, and has thus be- come the monopoly of the lawyers, What a gathering we shall have at Washington next winter! Statesmen and spoilsmen, gamblers, politicians, speculators and peculators, office seekers and claimants by hundreds, anda legion of Jawyers! No wonder the Mormons of the Great Salt Lake have established a permanent miesionary station and tract office at Washiag- ton for the conversion of the heathen. Tue Srare Aaricuturan CoLtece.—We learn that a meeting to promote the interests of the above named institution will be held at Ovid, Seneca county, on the first day of August. The charter for the college was granted two or three years ago, and the trustees have finally settled upon the pleasant towa above mentioned as its locale. Several gentlemen learned in agriculture will address the meeting, which will discuss waysand means for raising a fund to carry on he work of erecting the college. The project to elevate the vocation of agriculture, and to metruct its e/dves in chemical, geological and horticultural mysteries is a very excellent one. No doubt, with a proper understanding of scien- tific farming by our agriculturists the pro- ducts of the State, great as they are, would be doubled. Tur Sewarp Junta at THE Astor Hovse— Arromtine tHe Day.—The Seward Junta at the Astor House yesterday, appointed the 26th day of September as the day, and Syrasuse as the place, for their “whig” State Convention. This will give them the advantage of the con- ventions of all the other parties in the field, for we believe none of them are put off to so late a day. The Know Nothings are to hold a State Counciiin Syracuse on the 25th September, if we are not miatakea, and perhaps the object of Seward and Thurlow Weed is to catch them there, with the design of pulling wool over their eyes. Let the Order watch the arch-agi- tator and his big and “little villsins.”’ THE LATES BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, ‘The Lexington (My.) Convention, Sr, Lours, July 18, 1865. During the evening sension, on the second day of the Convention at Lexington, Mo., great con'usion prevailed on the subject of President Shannon's address.

Governor Re*der’s message to the Legisisture of Kan- sas is published. He contends for the right of the people to settle their own affaire, uninfluenced by other States, He says the Territorial Legislature may act on the question :f slavery, *o a limited and partial extent, and \emporarily regulate it in the Territory; shows what laws are now in force; directa attention to a definition of the boucdaries of counties and districts, and the quahfication of voters; recommends a striagent Liquor law, on account of the Indians; thinks that a light tax only is required; contends that pre-empiions may be taxed; recommends the immediate establishment of & seat of government, and announces that the pooulation of the Territory was 3.383 females, and 6,133 males. The Legislature fixed on Shawnee Mission as the tem- porary seat of government. The Governor vetoed the same, when the Legislature passed tt over the veto, and adjourned to meet at Shawnee Mission. Total Loss of the Schooner Emma—Move~ ments of Col. Kinney, ac. Boston, July 18, 1855. The schooner Active, Capt. Moorehouse, has arrived from Turks Islands, aud reports the loss of the schooner Emma, Capt. Norris, which sailed from New York June 6, with Col. Kinney and bis party of twenty men. The Emma bed s successful passage until the night of tue 19th ult., when she atruck upon the Caicos reefs, and proved a total loss, with the stores and effects of the passengers, No lives were lost, The paseengera proceeded to Turks Islands, which they reached in five days time, where Col.
