The nativity table gives 405 natives of the United States, 62 of Ireland, 20 of Germany, and the balance of various European countries. The sales of cotton yesterday were confined to about 800 bales in lota, which indicated a decline of jc. a je. per Ib. on lower grades, and about jc. on the higher qualities, though the market could not be said to have fairly opened since the last news ; hence the prices were somewhat irregular. Com- mon and medium grades of flour advanced about 12} cents per barrel. Among the sales were 6,000 sacks, equal to about 1,500 barrels flour, received from California, made from wheat grown and ground in that State. Its quality, however, was probably affected by the long voyage it had endured in the close hold of the vessel; and hence it only ranked with inferior State, and sold at $7 per bbl. About 6,000 bushels of California wheat, here and to arrive,. (it was reported,) also sold at $1 85 a $1 98. Southern red wheat sold at $1 75 a $1 82., and white wheat at $1 95 a $2. Corn sold at f8c. a 91c., chiefly at 89c. a 90c, Rye sold at lllc. a ll4c. There was some specula- tive feeling in pork, and sales were pretty freely madeon the spot, and for future delivery, buyer’s option, at $22 25 a $2250. Other provisions were also firm. Sngars again advanced jc. a jc., and the eales reached about 1,200 a 1,400 hdds. Cuba musco- vado, 150 do. New Orleans, and about 2,000 boxes. Owing to the want of full supplies of flour and grain and improvement in prices, freights to English ports continued firm, but engagements were moderate. There were free offers for shipments in October at 6d. for grain to Liverpool, and flour for London was contracted for at 3s. per barrel. Col. Kinney’s Progress in Central Amcrica--= ‘That Extraordinary Letter of Mr. White. Among our general outside intelligence, we publish to-day several interesting letters from Greytown, touching the progress of Col. Kip ney in the golden opinions of the official au- thorities of the State of Nicaragua. If our correspondence is not exaggerated (and we have no reason to suppose that it is), Col. Kin- ney isin a fair way to turn the tables com- pletely upon the Nicaragua Transit Company and Sener Marcoleta, the Minister from that country to this. Certainly the gallant Colonel has been making some extraordinary discove- ries since bis arrival at his present destination, not the least of which is the discovery of a very c nspicuous, if not the most responsible, party to the bombardment of Greytown. We refer to a certain extraordinary letter, recently brought to light in a proclamation of Col. Kinney, which is as follows:— Ovrice oF THE New YORK AND Cat STEAMSHIP L 5 Bowling Green, N Sm—Capt.

Now, we had supposed that Major 1 Arkansas, late our Minister to Nicaragua (un- der a general roving commission, including all Central America), was the real instigator of the bombshelling and burning out ef Mr. Pierce’s * camp of savages” at Greytown. We know, at all events, that Majer Borland got into a row among these “ savages "—that some of them, forgetting the dignity of his position and the power of the United States, broke a whiskey bottle over his nose—that the Major was indignant at the outrage, and as fw steam would carry him, repaired to Ws ton end laid the case before the President; and that shortly thereafter Captain Hollins, with the United States sloop-of-war Cyaae, went down ¢o Greytown and reduced that “camp of savages’ to ashes. But in spite of these facts, it appeaxs that Mr. Joseph L, White hada good deal more to do with the affair than on Ma- jor Borland; and the reasons npon which, in the foregming letter, it is recommended that “the scoundrels” of Greytewn “be soundly punished,” are of the most Jegieal, consistent and practical kind, We are led to some other natural conclu- sions from thie remarkable letter of Mr. White. For instance, & would appear that Mr. White and Mr. Fabens were, iu the outset, of the same mind in reference to the burning out of the ola! officers of, Greytown, and tbo sub’ tion of.a new set ® their place: Col.

By the arrival of the Northern Light we have eighteen days later intelligence from California, and late news from Oregon, Sandwich Islands, China Mew Granada and Nicaragua. The news from California isnot important, but, nevertheless, contains some very tnteresting deve- Topementa and startling accounts of murders, massa- cres, Indian depredations, executions and Lynch law proceedings. Mr. J.C. Woods, of the late firm of ‘Adams & Co., had thought proper to suddenly quit San Francisco, which had latterly been such a field of trouble to him, and had published a card giving his reasons for his unannounced departure. The Know Nothings had completed their nominations for State officers, and adopted a platform. The tempe- rance party, it was announced, would bring out a State ticket, and the settlers were also about to make separate nominations. Some extensive ope- rations in bogus gold dust had been discovered, an account of which will be found among the items of news. The Northern Light brought upwards of one mullion of dollars in gold dust, which would seem to indicate a healthy state of affairs on the Pacific; but the market reports contain bitter complaints of the inactivity of trade and the stringency of funds. From the Sandwich Islands we have news dated at Honolulu on the 11th of July. A destructive fire broke out in the Varicties theatre on the morning ef the 7th of that month, destroying the building, the police station, and three large stores, in a few hours. The Bethel church was in much danger. ‘The sparks from the burning mass ignited materials at a great distance from the scene of the conflagra- tion. It is supposed the fire was caused by an incen- diary. ‘Hong Kong (China) advices are’ to the 28th of June. The revolutionists had been.again defeated in the North. The trade of Nankin had not suffered much from the disturbances. Canton was again quiet and trade reviving. Mr. Silas E. Barrows, of San Francisco, has returned to that city after a two years’ travel in China, where he witnessed the exe- cution, under horrible circumstances, of thirty-five hundred rebels, who were taken prisoners by the imperial forces in a battle near Canton in March Jast. By way of San Francisco we have an interest- tng account of the journey of the crew of the Russian frigate Diana, after shipwreck, from Jeddo (Japan) to Petropaulowski. They had bar- gained for a passage with the captain of the Ame- rican ship Young America, from Woosung, but as that officer had no protection against a French schooner and | te, which he afterwards perceived near the bay of Jeddo, he landed them again. The Young America was afterwards boarded bya French officer, but the Russians had made a lucky escape and got away The news from Nicaragua is interesting. On the 28th ult. Col. Walker landed at San Juan del Sud, with.a small party, whereupon the natives, with the exception of the Captain of the Port anda few others, immediately evacuated the place, taking their mules with them. They were, however, in- duced to return, and aesist the California passengers in their transit across the Istlimus. A bloody bat- tle was fought on the 1th, between the Castillon party, under Munos and Alvarez,.and a body of Chamorro’s adherents, under Guardiola. As regards nnmbers the armies were nearly equally matched, the former.cou prising 900 and the latter 800 men. The battle lasted seven hours, and about 500 were killed on both sides. Guardiola was badly beaten, and fled tothe mountains, while Munos was reported among the slain. Col. Walker was menaced by a strong force of the Chamorro party, posted at Rivas, only fifteen miles from San Juan. His position was liable to attack as soon es the knowledge of his landing reached Boska, the commander at Rivas. Col. Kinney’s affiirs appear to be in a highly prosperous condition. He was very popular at Greytown, and his commissioner to the supreme government had received marked attentions from the President. New Granada, as we learn by a circular from the wetary of Foreign Affairs at Bogota, addressed to the New Granadian consul in this city—which we publish elsewhere—is enjoying a degree of pros- perity and peace, both internally and externully, hitherto. unknown. Our Havana correspondence gives an account of Santa Auna’s movements at that port. We also find in the Diario deia Marina the.text of the docu- meut addiesred to the Mexican people from Pesote, in which Santa Agana makes known his abdicatien. We give a translation of it. It is an interestiag docun.ent, and may excite sympathy for the ex- President.

Nothing could itlustrate better the extent of the good understanding—we had almost eaid the union—existing between France and England, than the fact that a leading French journal is permitted to discuss the project of detaching our Northern neighbors from the latter to the former government. The annexation of Canada to France—to prevent its conquest by “the expansive system of the United States!” There is in thisa sly but very bitter commentary upon the weakness of England, and a very pleasant estimate of the superior power of the imperial government of Napoleon. The former is unavle to hold her colonial possessions, and the cordial union sub- sisting between the two Cabinets rendersit ex- ceedingly timely and proper that the latter should come to her aid. She does so in a spirit of friendship worthy of the alliance, and alto- gether in harmony with what has so far been done in the Crimea—she proposes frankly to relieve England of her burthens in this. direc- tion, and to “make a law for the prevention of invasion by the United States,” by opposing to such invasion “education, instruction, books, charity, the association of good works,” the revival of ancient sympathies, common pride and interest, affection, faith and tradi- tions, } To this grand scheme of French conquest and colonization in America, even at the ex- pense of our trans-Atlantic cousins, we have not a word to oppose. We regard it, in fact, as the conquest of France to the American system of aggrandizement. That is the way we have been doing business on this continent—that is the secret of our power—the manner of our invasion—the basis of our “expansive con- quests.” It was precisely this idea that Mr. Everett undertook to impress upon that thick-headed, stubborn Lord John Russell in the reply of the former to the proposition that England, France, and the United States should guaran- tee the possession of Cuba to Spain. Mr. Everett modestly informed Lord John that whatever might be the views of the Cabinet at Washington, candor required him to say that the people of the United States must be con- sulted. It was their province to settle ques- tions of conquest—and, of course, by their “education, instruction, books,” and above all, “the association of good works,” which is the soul of the American system. We rejoice, then, that ourimperial neigh- bors have come to us in theory, and that they are coming tousin “the pride and power of the empire” materially, actually—by the re- release, transfer and assignment of Great Bri- tain—by the abdication of Victoria pro tanto. We rejoice again, because it will be the reor- ganization of that magnificent system of colonial conquest and government conceived and put in operation by Louis XIV.—and un- der it we may look to the re-establishment of that cordon of politico-religious posts, extend- ing trom the mouth of the Mississippi to the valley of the St. Lawrence. It will, if success- fal, relieve us of much of our frontier troubles --of the vast expense we incur on account of and religious teachers, and govern itorial judges—and above all, it id the grasshoppers and the locusts to inate the Mormons. missiona ors may exter eonquest—and we approve it for thi we need anything it is religion. The Union, our Paris cotemporary, is explicit and eacouraging M. Barthe, whose zeal i d affecting, ask of religion to con nada.” This is not very respectful to but that is nothing. Racner’s First Week ty New Yor«.—Every oue who has seen her is full of praise of Rachel. The critics, oyster-house and other- wise, have exhausted their complimentary ad beantifn quer Engl jectives and adverbs, and had a severe run up on their descriptive phrases. For the first night, when she played Camille, in “iLorace,” there was a full house—Tuesday, “Phédri was a little thinner, and Thursday, “Adriénne” filled the theatre. We are told that a great many seats have already been taken for Monday. it is said that a number of extra free at missions were issued on Thursday. Whether this is true or not we cannot say—that they | were not sent to journalists is very certain. As far as our knowledge goes, M. Felix has been more sparing of free tickets than any other manager who has brought us a “star.” There is a great deal of complaint of th high prices for Rachel’s performances. Some rich people say that they will not pay three dollars, “on principle.” That is absurd. For them it isa mere business transaction. They .Tefuse to patronise M’He Rachel because her “price” is too“ high. On the same “princi- ple” they would prefer a three shilling plaster cast to Powers’ original Greek slave.

Mexican Arrams.—We publish eleewhere a translation of the manifesto by which the late President, Santa Anna, endeavors to justify his abdication in the eyes of the world. ’Twere cruelty to add a word of reproach to the self- humiliation it contains, None whose memory extends ten or fifteen years back will fail to be amused by the grand sentiments and finc lan- guage of the ex-diotator; and whether the pompous affectation of heroic patriotism be set down as the mere fruit of Spanish hyper- bole, or whether it be ascribed to the peculiar effrontery of Santa Anna’s character, it cannot but afford ample material for mirth. It may be, as Santa Anna gloomily fore- bodes, that anarchy is the foreordained lot of Mexico. We are aware from other sources that the work for which Alvarez took up arms, is but half performed, and that at the very last, Parthian-like, Santa Anna managed in flying to launch a formidable missile at the heads of his opponents. It was not without purpose that Carrera and his colleagues pro- claimed their adhesion to the plan of Ayutla. It would perhaps have been wiser for the new chiefs of the ration to have omitted, in their act of adhesion, that menacing sentence with relation to the army—‘ That the Provisional government shall take care to watch over it in the manner demanded from its noble institu- tion.” Nor was it quite politic, one would fancy, for De la Vega to insist so strenuously on “the civil war having ‘no longer any ob- ject.” Buteven without these pregnant indi- cations of treachery, it is plain to all who are familiar with Mexican politics, that the sub- stitution of Carrera for Santa Anna is merely the last throw of the baffled gambler—that the adoption of the plan of Ayutla means nothing short of its destruction—and that if Alvarez and Comonfort allow themselves tobe deluded by the pretended liberalism of the Provisional government, they will have lost their labor, and all will remain to be done over again. Tne Comine TueatricaL Seasoy.—We pub- lish elsewhere the official lists of the com- panies at two of our principal theatres, which will open within a week for the regular season. With the general revival in lusiness affairs the managers naturally expect that their har- vest will be quite equal to that of the season before the last, which was one of unexampled prosperity. The prospects for the season are very good; and the managers, in no way dis- heartened by the bad business of last winter, are redoubling their exertions to amuse the people. The summer season, both at Niblo’s and the Broadway theatre, was very much more ptofitable than usual, which will account for the postponement of the opening of the last named house to so late a peried. All the theatres are now doing well, and that when New York proper has hardly returned to town. The fact is that there area great many flush strangers in town, and they are willing to spend their money. When public amusements are well patron | ised, it is pretty safe to say that prospects for a good fall trade are exceedingly flattering. New York owes much of her prosperity to well conducted places of amusement, which are ex- ceedingly attractive to strangers—perbaps more so than to regular residents. No fault can be found with the manner in which our principal theatres are managed, and they de- serve a liberal support. SomerkinG ror THE Ferry Compantes.—Al- most every day we are called upon to notice the reckless disregard of life on the part of the managers of our public conveyances. One murder by the Brooklyn Ferry Company was alluded to recently, and we publish elsewhere the law on the subject of boats. A day or two since a man fell overboard from one of the Holoken ferry boats, and the “life boat,” so caled, which was lowered to rescue, filled and sunk, leaving the victim to his fate. This was sheer carelessness on the part of the officers of the boat—the seams of the small boat having been opened by the heat of the sun and never recaulked. The law can reach such things as this, and it should be put in operation at once. Fre Love Murpers.—We have to record to- day another horrible murder brought about by the disgusting free love, socialist and spi- ritualist hooks, with which the eountry is flooded. The details of the horrid affair, which include the crimes of adaltery and murder; will be found in our California news, The murderer was a man ef unblemished reputa- tion previous to his conversion to the doctrines promulgated by the woman Nichols, the man A. J. Davis, and the philosophers of the New York 7ribune. These two victims—for the man will assuredly be hanged, either by the law or Judge Lynch—are additions to a calendar already dripping with blood. The reapon- sibility will, one day or another, fall upon the real murderers—Davis, Greeley, Nichols, and others of the same party. Whar Says tue Wasuieron Oran ?—The Richmond Enquirer, the leading organ in Vir- ginia of the, Cabinet democracy, reads the New York soft shells and their Syracuse platform out of the Cincinnati Democratic National Con- vention of next June, so that the labors of John Van Buren to keep within the fold, so far as ‘irginia ie concerned, go for nothing.

Another serious accident, attended with loss of life, occurred on the Camden and Amboy railroad this after- noon, The engine of the two o’clock train, when near Beverly, was thrown from the track by the breaking of an axle attached to the forward track, and rendered a complete wreck, and following after it was a baggage and one passenger car Jobn Holland, the engineer, was 40 badly injured that amputation of one of his limbs became necessary, but he died shortly after the operation had been performed, He lived at Camden, and leaves a family. Laughorn Thorne, a fireman, was sorlously injured but not considered fatally. None of the passengers were hurt. ‘The accident occurred at half-past two P. M., and wa occasioned by a flaw in the axle next to the wheel. An examination showed the axle to have been sound about an inch and ahalfin a diameter of fiveinches. Soon after the accident occurred, the engineer asked, ‘‘ What’s broke??? On being told ‘‘the axle,” he replied, “ thought so.” Such a remark leads to the inference that he was re at the depot of the flaw, and, notwith- standing, recklessly perilled the lives of the passenger 8 as wellas his own, Great excitement existed among the pasrengers im regard to the disaster, and the feelings of the people here are sgain harrowed up by the repe- tition of @ fatal accident so near them. Drs. Bry and Beverley performed the operation on the engineer. The train was delayed four hours. The Yellow Fever in Virginia. Bauiaons, Sept 8, 1855. The Norfolk boat this morning brings a more favorable account from Norfolk, there having been only 23 deaths on Thursday, while the new cases were more easily man- aged. Mr. Paker, member elect to the Legislature, was among the dead. We have no record of the number of deaths on Friday, but the rumor was that there had been about 20, Portsmouth letters say thére are about 15 deaths there daily. Dr. Morris writes that there are but two physicians from north of Norfolk who are not down with the fever, and six of these physicians are dangerously ill at the Naval Hospital. Dr. Marshall, of Baltimore, was dying. Our latest intelligence from Norfolk, via Richmond, represents that there is a slight abatement of the disease. Over $4,000 was subscribed in this city to-day for the relief of the sufferers, making # total of nearly $20,000. A boat was sent down to-night heavily laden with provisions, also having on board one hundred and thir- teen coffins. RELIEF MEETING IN WASHINGTON. Wasmxartox, Sept. 8, 1855. A public meeting waa held here this afternoon to take measures for the relief of the sufferers at Norfolk and Portsmouth. The Mayor of the city was elected chair- man, and a Relief Committee was appointéd, to continue till the fever disappears. A resolution was adopted stating an appropriation of $5,000 by the City Councils would meet the approbation of cur citizens. It is the impression that it will be voted next Monday. RELIEF FROM BOSTON. Boston, Sept. 8, 1855. Eighteen hundred dollars was remitted to-day to Bal- timore for the relief of the Norfolk and Portamouth sul- ferers, making twenty-eight hundred dollars in all col- lected by individual effort. The committee appointed yesterday are now active, and a larger sum will probably be forwarded early next week. ‘The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and the Case of Passmore Williamson. PuiLapEPaia, Sept, 8, 1855. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which is now in session here, has refused to grant the release of Pass- more Williamson. Judge Lowrie concurred in the de- cision, although he differed from the others in some of the views of the case. Judge Knox dissented from the decision, Judge Black read the decision, The ground taken is that the Court has no jurisdiction to warrant its inter- tering with the judgment of the Fedcral Courts, that such Courts have exclusive power in deciding cases of con- tempt, and this Court could not go behind the record to ascertain the fact whether the commitment was legal or net. Judge Knox, in his adverse opinion, contends that the District Court had no jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas corpus in the first place, and that Williamson was guilty of no crime in refusing to answer ft. Ho also urges that the power to issue writs of habeas corpus is confined ex- clusively to State Courts. More Troubles in Africa between the British > ~ and the Natives, Bostos, Sept. 8, 1855. Ry the brig Monte Cristo, arrived here this morning, wg have news from the coast of Africa to the 2d of August. On the 15th of July, a party from Bathurst, on British government duty, were fired into near the headquarters of the Mandingo tribe. On the 16th the Governor organized # force of two hundred troops, and proceeded to inquire into the facts. Oa his way he was ambush- ed and fired into by the Mandingos. The Governor and two officers were wounded, together with thirty native troups killed and forty wounded.
