The various cliques of politicians in this city were in a state of lively fermentation last evening. The hard shell General Committee came to a determina- tion to dispense with primary-élections, and instead, to, in effect, neminate all the candidates for city, county and judicial offices themselves. This move. ment created great excitement and indignation among the soft office seekers and plotters, who de- nounced the.action of the committee as tyrannical and as a violent departure from established usage. It effectually forestalled the centemplated action of the Tammany Hall politicians, who had every pre- paration made to carry the hard primary elections, by the aid of the short boys, shoulder hitters, tide waiters, post office chiffoniers, and other riffraff, The republicans are in a quandary with reference to their representation at the forthcoming State eoa- vention at Syracuse. One saction contends for the choice of delegates by the eld fashioned primary election system, while another section favors an election by a county convention. There is anex™ citing struggle going on among the friends and ep- ponents of these plans. Aliesire to be leaders, and all are very patriotic. The President has appointed Stribling G.

Wew York, Friday, September 14, 1855. ———o—ooSeee The News. ‘Phe Board of Health yesterday adopted an oriti- mance providing that all vessels arriving from Bal- tamore or ports south thereof shall be placed in ine for vhirty days, unlese a certificate in writing shall be obtained from the Health Officer eertifying that no sickness exists on board such-ves- sels, The duties imposed upon pilots by the quaran- ‘ane laws apply also to vessels designated in the erdinance alluded to. The lew goes into operation immediately, and will continue i force until the first day of November next. By the arrival of the steamship Crescent City at Wis port yesterday we have advices from Havana to the Sth inst. Mr. G. C. Backhouse, British Juéige ef the Mixed Commission for th ppression of the slave trade, was brutally murdered by a gang of negro ruffians, while sitting after dinner in bis own house, on the Jistult. The murderers were arrest- ed. Full details of the sad affairare given by ovr correspondents. The Mexican war steamer Guerre- yo, having Santa Anna and suite en board, put into the port of Neuvitas on the 29th ult. for repaire. The party afterwards, on the Ist inst., proceeded by yailroad to Puerto Principe, where they were to wait forthe first steamer from Hevana bound for St. Thomas or Curacoa. There wae no other news of importance. By way of New Orleans we have advices from Mexico to the 2d inst. General-de la Slave had taken possession of ‘Vera Cruz, at the head of the liberating army, and refused to acknowledge the provisional government under Carrera. Alvarez and Comonfort were hourly expected at the capital. "Phe plan of Ayutla had been adopted ix Zacatecas. The mails by the Africa, which were delivered ‘m this city from Boston at an early hour yesterday morning, contained the.official reports of the French and English commanders in the Crimea relative to ‘the late battle of Traktir Bridge, on the Tchernaya. General Pelissier is very diffuse in hie account; wut it was understood that his explanation did not give much satisfaction in Paris. The Rassians made a desperate onslanght and were repulsed, but the result of the allied victory was very small. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Times, alluding to Pelissier’s mode of directing the @efence operations of the allied lines, seys:— “Knowing that the Russian attack was to have been made, it is thought he should have massed his troops in greater force, brought up his reserves, and have made an effort to des- stroy completely the Russian army, whieh he could not ao with the 6,000 to 7,000 who were actually engaged. It is also said that the general- im-chief made his appearance onthe ground ate Yate hour.” Gen. Simpson's report of the affair ia shorter, and appears more candid than that of his French ally. The British General says that the Russian forces had twice gained the heights on each side of the road, but were driven back; and that again, “in no way daunted by two failures,” the Czar’s troops advanced, carried the bridge a third time, and again crowned the heights, before they were finally repulsed. Admiral Bruat, commander- wm-chief of the French fleet in the Black Sea, was brought by Gen. Pelissier to review the battle ground on which the allies had obtained such a glo- vious triumph. The report of this distinguished “old salt” adds nothing to our previous know- Yedge of the affair, and hie reasoning with respect to the Gisorganization of the Russian power, although very good for a sailor, must be taken cum grano salis, when we find that on the 16th of August the garrison of Sebastopol was reinforced by as many as seventeen thousand men. With regard to Sweaborg, our views are fully sus- tained. The fortress, as such, remained uninjured; but Admiral Dundas, after long deliberation, and with great caution, made a very fine fire, and burned down the houses of a large number of people. A despatch from Berlin declares that the allied fleets had retired from Cronstadt, and taken up another position. The London papers acknowledge that the army must winter again in the Crimea. The same journals recommend, it is presumed asthe best means of sus- taining the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, that the Danubian Principalities should in future be governed by a protector, appointed by France and England, in some measure subject to the Sultan. Acting tans asa balance of military power, it is said that such a roler wonld neutralize the war in the East in some sort, after the fashion of Helgium nearer home. It was feared, although this was looked on as a happy political speculation, that Austria would not relin- quish ber hold on the provinces easily. The details of the insurrection of the natives (Southals) in Bengal against the Euglish authority show that the movement will be formidable and its consequences very serious. The dates from Natal, Cape of Good Hope, are to the 6th June. Imported labor and a Representative Council were the social and political topics engaging the attention of the colonists. The letter of our Shanghae correspondent is in- teresting. Our Minister, Mr McLane, had left for Paris, aud the Secretary of Legation, Dr. Parker, is ruralizing somewhere in New England, we believe, leaving the important interests of oar countrymen in China to take care of themselves. Fortunately Commodore Abbot has assumed the responsibility of adjusting matters. Our Consul having failed in negotiating with the Chinese officials respecting cer- tain losses of American merchants, the Commodore had despatched Capt. McCluney, in the steamer Powhatan, to bring them to terms. We learn from Captain Whittier, of the schooner G. 0. Bigelow, which arrived yesterday from Tarks Islands, that when he left that place on the 31st ult. salt was scarce and ranged from 25c. to 27c. per bushel, owing to the abundance of rain that had lately fallen. At Inagua it was selling at from 27e, to 30c. per bushel, and scarce, also owing to the rain. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 2,500 a 3,000 bales. The market indicated no quotable change, though prices were somewhat irregular By reference to another colnmn it will be seen that the crop of 1864~'55, has been ascertained to amount to 2,447,339 bales, which is rather under the average estimates put forth by parties engaged in the trade, It will be seen that the quantity consumed and in hands of the American manufactorers is below that ofthe previons year, while the exports to foreign parts are also under those of 1853-54, the chief falling off having been to Great Britain and to the North of Burope. Flour was steady, with a fair amount of sales. Southern wheat continued steady at about previous quotations, and 14,000 bushels wow mixed Chicago solid at $172), Corn was easier, with free sales at 8440. a S6c. Rye was firm at 1160. all7c. Pork sold at 22 56 a 222 62 for new mess, and ¢21 for new prime, Sngars, with a fair business, oontinned firm. The Mesers. Stuarts have a the megting. ‘The boat race between the St. John and Eoston clubs came off yesterday. She distance rowed was twelve miles, and the stakes amounted to $2,000, to say nothing of outside betting to a large amount. On the ninth mile the Boston club gave up the con, test. An immense crowd of spectators witnessed the race. ‘Ex-Senator Berrien has addressed a letter to the people of Georgia, vindicating the principles and ob- ects of the American party. Jusiness transacted was of no special importance, The proposition from the Board of Councilmen in favor of the appoinmiment of a committee on city re- form, and the question of a new charter, was adopted. Ex-Governor Reeder has published a review of the opinion of Chie? Justice Lecompte upon the validity of the laws passed by the Kansas Legislature while sitting at Shawnee Mission. It preseuts no new as- pect of the case. The portrait of Washington, alluded to in Thurs- day's paper, was formally presented to and accepted by the city yesterday. It will adorn the Governor's room in the City Hall. The presentation ceremo- nies, which tock place in the Mayor's office, were witnessed by a large number of citizens. Air. Buchanan—Important Official Informe- tion. The Washington Union says that the pub- lic has already been apprised of the fact that Mr. Buchanan is to continue in the dis- charge of his important duties as Minister at the Court of St. James, for a time extending beyond the period when his return to the Unit- ed States has been anticipated both by his friends and himself.” Now, for fear that some of the green ones of the democracy should sup- pose that Mr, Buchanan is detained to nego- tiate important treaties of some sort, we under- take to say that nothing of the kind is project- ed for him or expected of him by the adminis- tration. On the contrary, he wil] take a plea- sure trip to Italy. Mr. Buchanan had arranged to come home in October; and we understand that in view of this arrangement some of his baggage has al- ready arrived at this port. Whether the sixth of October is or is not the “extended time” re- ferred to by the organ, we cannot say; but we presume that he may have made up his mind to stay at least till the meeting of Congress, so as to allow the President the opportunity of consulting the leading democrats of both houses in respect to the suecessor to the Court of St. James. Gen. Dix, Governor Reeder, Governor Cobb, Mr. Dallas, Colonel Greene of the Boston Post, and many others, have been spoken of for this mission, and several ofthe gentlemen we have named have very strong claims upon Mr. Pierce for something of the kind, to say nothing of Cushing and Marcy. The postponement, therefore, by Mr. Buchanan of his return home, is an act of ma nanimity to the administration of a very high order; for it is well understood that since the publication of the Cuban manifesto from Aix-la-Chapelle, Mr. Buchanan has found it ex- tremely difficult to disguise or repress his dis- gust of Marcy and his “good Man Friday,” Mr. Pierce. In another view, Mr. Buchanan may be act- ing wisely. Nothing of any account can be done for the succession short of a month or two after the meeting of our next Congress In the interval the demoeratic aspirant, who ison the other side of the Atlantic is at least out of harm’s way from the wranglings and explosions going on among our democratic politicians at home. We accordingly approve the wisdom of Mr. Buchanan in consenting to remain in Europe a little Jonger, To be per- fectly safe from the traps and pitfalls of Mar- cy, Cushing and Jeff. Davis, he should not re- turn till about the firat of April next. Com- ing in then, he will be untrammelied and free to take his own course in the reconstraction of parties and programmes for the succession. At all events, it will be folly for any democrat to open the ball for “Se in advance of some - The Board of Aldermen met last.evening, but the | arrangement or decision concerning the New York democracy. Let Mr. Buchenan, then, resolve to remain in Europe, say till April; and should anything in the interval turn up requiring his preseace at Washington, or Har- risbarg, or Albsay, or Tammany Hall, we shall advise him ty the first steamer of the necessities of the case. We shall watch Marcy. Tue Governox or Kansas snp His Sreecu TO THE Missourtans.—We give in our columns, to-day,.a brief report of the speech of Wilson Shannon, the new Governor of Kansas, on his arrival out at Westport, Misseuri. He is deter- mined to be on the safe-side, to begin with. He goes for :all the acts of the late Kansas Legislature, without knowiag what they are. Addressing the Missourians, he calls it their Legislature, which is a very ridiculous bit of flattery. And he goes for-slavery in Kansas, and gives his reasons for it. This is a ‘pretty good beginning for Mr. Shennon. When sent out as Minister to Mexico, by Mr. Polk, it is said that this same Mr. Shannon, in order to inform the Mexican government exactly of the objects of his mission, laid before it his secret instructions from the ‘State Department, and soon returned, in consequence, a dead failure. Now, if his speech at Westport was also in accordance ‘with his confidential instructiens from Washington, what cam Marcy say to the free soil soft shells of New York? Great ail- ministration, this! It.diseherges, upon falee pretences, its first Governor to Kansas as ‘a knave, and sends out another to supersede him who appears to be withia gunshot of being a fool. Lovely administration! Happy pes- ple of Kansas! Glorious loctrine, that of “ squatter sovereignty,” with the privilege of a first Governor for the “thieving abolition- ists,” and a second for the “ border -ruffians!”’ Nothing like equal rights. Rerorms in we Fire Derarrannt.—We are glad to see that some real progress has been made in the improvement of the Fire Depart- ment of thiscity. For years tke press has teemed with complaints of riot and rowdyism, so that the department was justly considered a nuisance by the quiet and orderly portion of the community. The department will be much improved by the action of the Board of Fire ;Commissioners, who were elected some time since, and have beer at work in earnest. They are empowered to hear all complaints, to dis- charge men, and even disband compenies. We age told that they have pursued their labors without fear, favor er affection. They have: diligently investigated every complaint, and have not hesitated to expel the offenders. Thus many bad men thave been got rid of. The department was never so thin as at the present time, but all the men are such as can be relied upon. The Commissioners have aome- times disbanded whole companies, and their severity ‘has shown the rowdies in the depart- ment that they must keep quiet or “leave the rope.” They have at last been made to sec that there are men superior to grog, smell politics, and primary elections. We hope the Commissionere will not fail in their work until the department is thoroughly purged of the seamps who have so long dis- graced it, They have the support and thanks) of every good citizen, Mr, Curtiss Haw ey nor 4 Know Noraisc— Tue Harps Np rae Sorts.—In refutation of the report circulating among the kard news- papers of our rural districts, that Mr. Curtiss Hawley, the soft shell candidate for Canal Commissioner, is a Know Nothing, thet gentle- man has come out with a letter, in which he saye that—“I do not belong to the Order, nor have I any sympathy with it, the party or their principles, whatever—but otherwise, I utterly repudiate the whole thing as incompatible with the principles of our government and hostile to the best interests of the country. I hepe and trust the democracy throughout the State will ere long become satisfied in relation to this matter.’ We hope so too; and so let it be understood. The case is plain. The race between the hards and softs is not for the election this fall; be- cause there is not the shadow of a chance for either, or for both factions united; but they are struggling for the precedence at the Cincin- nati Democratic National Convention of 1856. And this is the meaning of the anti-Know No- thing letter of Mr. Curtiss Hawley. As Prince Jobn Van Buren expects bis late doings at Syracuse to be received at Cincinnati as good democratic credentials, so does Mr. Hawley, perhaps, expect to go in there upon the strength of this anti-Know Nothing letter. Sappose the hards try him next on the Kansas question. Nava Retmep List.—It will be seen in our Washington telegraphic advices that the Board appointed for the purpose, under the late act of Congress, of the re-organization of the personnel of the Navy, have removed or “re- tired” from actual service two hundred and one officers, and have dropped entirely forty- nine of the class, we suppose, disparagingly called “old fogies. Of the individuals thus retired we know nothing, but in due season they will be officially reported, when we shall doubtless have a storm raised by the old gray- beards turned adrift upon a pension, at a crisis stiM full of good prospects for a glorions war, prizes and prize money, laurcls and medals and swords of honor. Next year we shall have a retired list of the administration, Our Iyrenests tN Cutwa.—We learn by our Shanghae letter, to-day, that our representa- tive in China has gone off on a pleasure trip to Paris, and that he is of no particular use. as there is no interpreter attached to the lega- tion. The most magnificent opportunities for gaining increased commercial facilities are lost for the want of a competent man at this post. Where is the foreign policy that the supporters of the administration talk so mucb about? Where is Marcy?

This is the first trial upon the issue of union or disunion, It will be recollected that a few weeks ago the coalition held a meeting at Portland to lay down the law of the canvass. Wade, of Ohio, as fierce a negro worshipper as Garrison or Tappan, was there, and declared it to be the policy of the republicans to overturn the institution of slavery. He proposed to approach this object by abolishing it in the District of Columbia, by interdicting the slave trade between the States, by restoring the Mis- souri compromise, and, finally, by assailing the institution everywhere. With these purposes distinctly in view, and fully and cordially united with the Maine lawites, they went into the canvass, They are signally routed. The great pillar waich supports the edifice has fallen, Maine was the home of the extremists, and she now rebukes them into a contemptible minority. It was Maine that first sent her representatives to Congress to urge on the Wilmot proviso ; it was Maine that enacted the infamous Prohibitory Liquor law; it was Maine that received with open arms the fiercest of the disunion rabble of New York and Ohio— but now she turns upon them and sinks them to their wonted insignificance. The result of this election is not a victory, but a vindication. There can be no victory over such political suicides and knaves. There ought to be no contest with them. They are unworthy to be ranked and treat- ed as honorable foes, They are traitors to the Union—open enemies to the con- stitution—mad fanatics, who would lead us into anarchy, and let us shirk for ourselves after they had gotten us there. It isthe open- ing of the campaign—the signal for the re-or- ganization of parties on the great issue of union or disunion. The Maine lawites are isindred fanatics—they go by instinct with the megro worshippers, Tne Cuevauier Wikorr Rerurnep To Dieio- macy.—Our readers will long remember the taemendous hit of the Chevalier Wikoff in that book upon his “Courtship and its Conse- quences; they will remember still longer, and with higher pleasure, the brilliant results of the last operatic campaign at the Academy of Music, under the auspices of the able Cheva- lier. They were also informed of the time of his departure for Europe, 2 few weeks since, on diplomatic business with my Lord Pal- merston;, and it will be seen from our London correspondence which we publish to-day, that he has taken the bull by the horns with the resolution to fetch him to the ground. The opposition in Parliament failed to throw his lordship; but Wikoff has the facts and the tes- timony against him which may bring him to terms. The case of the Chevalier is simple enough. He charges that the Foreign Office at London was.a party to his unjust imprison- ment at Genoa, and he demands reparation, at the risk of a disclosure of some of the most curious secrets of Palmerston’s diplomacy. We must await the upshot of the imbroglio; and were it only to end in the restoration of the entente cordiale with Miss Gamble, we might hope for peace with Russia, with or without Sebastopol.

He declares that if the American government pre- serves the great principle of man’s equa'ity before the law, he is for it; if not, against it. The resolutions adopted hold that Congress has full authority over sla- very in the Territortes, and every other locality where it has jurisdiction, and it is its duty to exercise it; de- nounve the repeal of the Missouri compromise; regard Passmore Willlamson’s imprisonment as a tyrannical usurpation of power; regard the question of slavery with little apprehension in reference to the safety of the Union; hold it to be the duty of Congress to make appropriations for internal improvements; condemn the President's veto of the St. Clair Flats bill; recommend a general conven- tion of the republican party, with a view to the adoption ot more extended and effectual measures to resist the en- croachments of slavery.

Martie Affairs, Thomas 8, Marvel, Ksq., of Newburg; will launch fron: his shipyard, Tuesday, 11h inst., a cltpper brig of about 300 tons register, to be called the Antelope. Her ownerg are Van Brunt & Slaght, of this city, Daniel’ Farringdon, of Newburg, and others. She {s designed for the South: American trade principally, and will be commanded by Capt. Benjamin Jones, of Long Island. The steamship Jamestown, Capt. Parrish, arrived at; pier 13 North river, yesterday evening; at 8 o'clock, frour Richmond, Petersburg and Old Point, bringing a large freight of flour, manufactured tobacco and hogsheads of leaf tobacco, and alarge list of passengars, She was only 23 hours making the passage. Awong the many fine specimens of naval architecture to be seen at the present (ime in our harbor, is one ship, which, we think, deserves the special attention of al? those in any wire interested in, or who have a desire to see our commercial marine keep pace with the improve- ments of the present day. We refar to the ship Escort, of Bath, now lying at pier No. 45 East river. She has deen visited by many of our first merchants and marine insurance officers, and one and all have expressed their admiration of the superior manner in which she ie fitted out, She has two cabins, with siate-rooms openingénta them, (ail very tastefully furnished,) a steward’s room, sail room, tool room, and a hoase with twenty berths im it, for the sailors, allon the upper deck. Her betweem decks, from stem to stern, being free for the stowage ot! cargo, her carrying capacity is immense. She has made one voyage from New York to Mobile; she then took 4,500 bales of cotton to Liverpool, and brought 2,600 tons freight trom Liverpool to this port, which came out in as good condition as whea it was put in. The working gear of the ship comprises all the latest improvements, and must be seen to be appreciated. The tool room is perfect curiosity shop. ‘Ihe first thing which meeta your eye on entering it is the good old saying: “‘A place for everything, and everything in its place,” which motto i fully carried out in all the internal arrangements of th: ship. AN the wooden articles of use, such es tubs, buckets, paila, mallets, &., have been made by those belonging to the vessel, and are fine specimens of their skill and industry. She belongs to Gen. Joseph Berry, and is well worthy of avieit. aed The brig Scotia, which arrived at Philadelphia 12th inst., from.
