Uyon all these points the contending parties are. confessadly nearer together than ot any past period of their history. The truth is becoming more and more obvious every day, that the greatest straggleg we are to witness are to be in the in- ternal Prernments of States, The London Times sage of its own people: “ At this moment aman can do, we should be sorry to say how many, things he could not do fifty years ago,” and “ ihe politician may dread that ina twelve montha his hastily reported words may be trinmphantly quoied by an opponent who, thongh perbaps equally ignorant, was too wise to be prophetic.” Jn truth, England is in @ state of revolution -~a revolution of ideas—a peaceful process of equalization—under which the higher classes are being depressed and the lower orders gradually but certainly exalted. It is the quickening season of her political gestation. Ail this is effected by the press—by the fear- less discussion of men and measures—by criti- cisms upon legislation, upon military opera- tions, upon public agents in the Cabinet and in the field—upon hoary customs, which have manacled the people and bound them to the car of a proscriptive aristocracy. It is a revo- lution based upon the enlightenment of the human mind, upon practical philosophy, upon cause and effect in government. It cannot go backward, for each right secured to the masses becomes an interpreter and guide of ano- ther, and so on to the condition of absolute equality. Within little more than six years France he emerged from two revolutions, To say that she has passed through those ordeals without reaping the fruits of experience, or to deny to the exisiing state of things in that empire a striking improvement upon the policy and rule of Louis Philippe, is more than the truth will warrant. Every approach to perfect order in connection with a just administration of law, produces an approximate equality in the State, and is so much gained to the cause of popular liberty. It is alike the province of liberal government to secure the highest state of or- der and the most perfect disiribution of re- wards and burdens. Whether this result is effected by the imperial sway of one man, or of the whole people, is, for the time being, of no immediate practical consequence. Enlightened popular rule is better, because under it each man becomes a guardian of the common welfare, his own rights rest. ing upon the prompt enforcement of those of his neighbors, Thus linked together in a body politic, justice is secured in the present and security in the future. Meanwhile, the more perfect the government, even under the control of «single man, the more certain are the people to become truly enlightened and prepared for popular sovereignty. There is no fact of the day more clearly exhibited than that the government of France under Napoleon is rapidly casting off its preseviptive forms and verging towards free institutions. On this sub- ject the Vines says:—“We (France and Kog- Jand) have quarrelled for legitimacy, and now we both have monarchies founded on the will of the people.” Jialy is in a siate of tuiclage, nearly in the cenire between republicanism, absolutism, and anarchy. is essentially deprived of all self-control, waiting the settlement of the q rel between England, France, Austria, Pru and Russia. Whether she is toremain at home in the hands of her people, be strangled by the military despotism of Austria, be the political tool and plaything of France, or he smothered in the meshes of the Vatican, it is not easy to determin Prussia isin a condition not unlike that of England. The education of her people bas been advanced so far that the public mind en- ters into, and, toa great extent, controls, the conneils of the State. The king is in his pa- Jace, while the people are on the throne. The Austrian empire, with all its powerfal armies and armaments, is composed of almost innumerable States, having little afinity for each other and less confidence in their com- mon government. The German element in that power is not ouly predominant, but from its intelligent and independent character must ultimately effect the dissolution of the frail union now existing under Francis Jozeph. Russin is at war with the Western Powers, and is just emerging from the long night of Asiatic sleep into which her nationality was cast, It isa vemarkable fact bearing upon the unsettled condition of the nations of Western Europe, that one of the chief offences commit- ted by the late Emperor Nicholas, was his ef- fort to introduce his people to more intimate commercial intercourse with the great States of Christendom. Even if he contemplated the seizure of Constantinople, it was with a view of opening the trade of his empire to the world. That trade would have been the messenger of civilization, and ultimately, by its enlargement and its connection with all the interests of the Russian Empire, have placed the Czar under bonds to keep the peace with all people, There is a necessity growing out of the enlighten- ment of the human mind, for the general com- mercial intercourse of nations, This necessity is imperious, and must be obeyed. On this sub- ject, the Tines, allnding to the Queen's visit to Paris, says:—We have quarrelled for commer- ¢ial monopolies; and now we have found ont that all nations have a common interest in the absolute freedom of trade.” What a signal of international harmony! What a rebuke of the past! What a commentary upon the present war and the effort of Russia-—harbaric, Asiatic Russia, if you will—to introduce herself to free intercourse with us and other Christian States! There is not a sign in the political heavens that does not indicate a wonderful revolution in the affairs of men. Our own country is fiercely agitated by internal dissensions, Spain is on the point of national dissolution. Mexi- co is in a condition of wonted anarchy, wait ing to be absorbed by American enterprise. Turkey is in the throes of death, The small States of Northern Europe are trembling bo- neath the volcanic threatenings of the present war. Above all these contentions and wars, and local strifos, and Vickerings, there are every day exhibited signs of propter interes: j NO NOTICE taken of anonymaus communications.

The Grand Jury game into court with their presentment and budget of Qadictments. When it was reported about that seve- wal officials had been presented for ‘malfeasance in @ffice, there was a profound sensation. We give a wketch of the scene in another column. We learn ‘that no less than three Aldermen, three Councilmen and two Police Justices have been indicted. ‘We publish in another column the letters of Ni- cholas Hill, Jr., and Lemuel Stetson, accepting the woft shel] nomination for Judge ot the Court of Ap- peals and Comptroller. We also give the long tooked for letter of the Hon. John A. Lott, declining be a candidate of the softs for Jndge of Appeals. The Judge “scorns the bribe.” The sixty-third anniversary of the declaration of the first French republic (2Ist September, 1792) ‘was celebrated yesterday in New York by the French and other republicans. In the afternoon a few of them had a social gathering at Hoboken, and in the evening a large number assembled in Washington Hall, Elizabeth street, and indulged to alate hour fa patriotic speeches, sentiments and songs. We fornish a report. Our acconnts from the South respecting the epidemic are still sad and gloomy. At Norfolk there is no abatement of the fever. At Memphis, Natchez, Vicksburg, and in fact at all the towns on the Mis- siesippi, the epidemic rages with fearful virulence, and the citizens are fleeing from their homes. At New Orleans, however, the fever is no longer re- garded as epidemic. With the advont of cool weather we have an im- provement in the public health, particularly among the juveniles, who have suffered severely from cho- Jera infantum and other complaints of a similar cha- racter during the past sammer. The total number of deaths last week, according te the report of the City Inspector, was 396, namely, 48 men, 59 women, 155 boys and 124 girls, showing a decrease of 107 as compared with the mortality of the week previous. Consumption carried off 40, bronchitis 6, congestion of the lungs 5, inflammation of the longs 6, diarrhoea ‘29, dysentery 12, congestion of the bowels 8, congea- tion of the brain 8, dropsy in the head 18, cholera in- fantam 31, convulsions (infantile) 36, croup 7, scarlet fever 10, typhus fever 4, all other fevers 10, hooping cough 9, marasmus (infantile) 33, disease of the heart 4, smallpox 1, and colic 4. There were 17 @eaths from violent causes, 5 premature births, and 26 cases of stillborn. ‘The following is the classifl- cation of diseases :—Vones, joints, &c., 2; brain and generative organs, 8: heart and blood vessels, lungs, threat, &e., 82; skin, &e., and eruptive fevers, 12; stilhorn and premature births, 30; stomach, howels, and other digestive organs, 132; uncertain seat and general fevers, 30; urinary organs, 1; old age, 5; unknown, 1. There were but 26 deaths in the public institutions. The nativity table gives 506 natives of the United States, 16 of Treland, of Germany, 7 of England, and the balance of varions European countries. The United States mail steamship Arago, Captain Lines, left this port yesterday about half-past twelve o'clock, for Southampton and Havre, with a full freight, one hundyed and twenty-three passengers, and $863,506 in specie on freight. The steamship Ariel, Captain Lofevre, of the Vanderbilt line, also eft yesterday, at the same hoor, for the same desti- nation, with forty-six passengers, and $78,308 in spe- ele on freight. An anxious crowd of spectators watched the progress of these rival ships as they steamed down the hay. As both started almost at the same moment, no little interest will he mani- fected by the friends ch to hear of their arrival ‘ont. In another column we give the particulars of a heavy robbery of gold coin while on its way from Dubuque, Hlinois, to the sub-treasury office in Wall Street. The treasure —fifty thonsand dollars worth— was in the enstody of the American Express Compa- ny, aud it appears that, while on the route, the gold was abstracted from the boxes in which it was packed, and layers of bullets alternated with sheets of lead were substituted in its stead. Up toa late honr last night no trace had heen discovered of the perpetratore of this bold and snecesstul robbery. The Coroner's investigation into the circumstan- ces attending the decease of Amanda Cooke, who was fonud dead at her residence on Thursday morning last, terminated yesterday. The jury found ® verdict of death by suicide by taking laudannm. ‘The case of Alderman Briggs against the contuma- ious witnesses before the Police Investigating Com- mittee, came up for argument hefore Judge Wood- raff,in the Court of Common Pleas, yesterday. Nothing of importance transpired. The argoment will be resumed on Friday next. There was a moderate demand for cotton yester- day, at unsteady rates, holders submitting to a slight redaction in prices. Flour was active, the sales reaching 17,000 barrels, withont material change in prices. The transactions in wheat amounted to 60,000 bushels, and previons rates were fully main- tained. The sales of corn comprised about 40,000 bushels, principally Western mixed, at a decline of One cent per bushel. Pork was in fair request, and sales of mess were effected at 22237 a $2250 per barrel—a slight advance on the rates of the day previous. Suyar was dol) of sale, at 6fe. a The. for Cuba. Freights were active, mit we have no altera- tion in rates to notice, A Mopern Sopov.—The following elegant extract is from the Zimes of yesterday :— Broadway swarms with prostitutes, and half the atreete of the city are crowded with houses of {li-tame. ‘iamblers drive a thriving business, and are in full Sater. The Zribune sings in a similar strain; and he tween them hoth many country people are led to believe that people in this city promenade with revolvers sticking out of their pockets and bowie knives in their boots, and New .

It brings the issue in a palpable shape before Congress, and ina form in which positive action cannot be blinked or evaded. The speech of the ex-Governor on the ac- ceptance of his nomination is as ominous of conflict a3 tremendous and terrible as that resulting from the declaration of war against Russia by the Allied Powers, He “smells the battle afar off,” like the war horse of Job—be speaks of the last resort, and of the “ steady eye and the strong arm,” and quotes the war- like addresses of Marco Bor varia, with the stern resolve of a leader enlisted forthe war. The convention nominating him, too, recommend the arming and regular training of the free soil squatters for active service against the Missouri legiogs and their Territorial allies, should the worst come to the worst. In this dilemma, all that we can do is to plead for an armistice between the belligerents until Cor gress shall have decided upon the respective claims of the two contesting Kansas delegates that may be expected at Washington on the first Monday in December. Let both parties, then, arm themselves if they will, call in their reserves, arrange their encampments, head- quarters, and stores for munitions and supplies; but let there be a truce till the meeting of Congress; and there may be peace. The investigation of the whole subject by Congress will determine exacily the Hey po- licy and present position of the administrati which is an important thing in view of the contingencigs of a border war. Let Stringfel- low and Atchison, therefore, hold in their horses, and let the wrath of ex-Governor Reeder and his volunteers be tempered with meroy till the meeting of Congress. We plead for peace. ia Mike Warsn iv Evropr—Pinsr Baron or His CorrusronneNck.—We spread betore the world in the columns of the Henan to-day, the first instalment of the forthcoming letters of Mike Walsh from Europe. This batch includes the observations of our hero on shipboard, outward hound, and his preliminary researches and ob- servations in the city of Liverpool. They are interesting, and prove that Mike is a man who goes upon his travels with his cyes open, and that be is withal a remarkably clear-headed and dispassionate philosopher. Neither be- wildered nor thrown into a cold sweat by his discoveries, nor eaten up with inveterate pre- jndices against other people and their peculiar institutions, like Madame Trollope or Dickens, Mike enters upon the threshold of Europe as acool and dispassionate American arbitrator between the two hemispheres. On his way to Sebastopol, via Paris, Bras- sels, Vienna, Warsaw and St. Petersburg, or by any other route he may choose to take, our readers may expect of him, not the hackneyed pathos, poetry and balderdash of ordinary travellers about old cathedrals, ruins, palaces, and such other rubbish as may be gathered from the guide books, but the explorations and views of an inquiring philosopher among the mastes of the people, including the subter- ranean strata of European society, ia the cities, in the agricultural districts, among the waa- dering hord@#of the Ukraine, the Dnieper and the Don, and among the Tatars (not Tartaxs) of the Crimea.

Jersey Preorne sNp tiem Moyorortes.— Some of the press of our Jersey neighbors have a very odd way of defending tho people of that State against the chargos preferred throughout the country, that they are the tools and instruments of their railroads, The Sus- sex Register saysr—“It is not the people of New Jersey who are responsible for the existing condition of things, but the swarms of feed lawyers and subsidized wire-pullers who ma- nage county and district conventions.” Who do they manage? Is it not the people, and is this not making them the tools and instruments of the monopolies as we have stated? The joint concern, the Rryister admits, “is a most gigan- tic outrage upon equal rights,” a “power which has for years shaped the Legislature of the State, filling our highest offices with creatures of its own.” This is just what we have asserted ~—Imt the Register still thinks the “people are not responsible for the existing state of things.” Now, there is supposed to be, or to have been, two parties in New Jersey—the freemen of that State and the joint railroads—~ the former have allowed the latter to get the mastery, the control, It is not very material how this was done; that it was effected by sup- pressing the voice of the people is plain enough Having thus succeeded, they took the next step: they bought up the voters by giving them an interest in the concern. Two crimes were thas committed, that of surrendering the rightful authority of the voters, and after- wards receiving a reward for keeping quiet. ‘The first is common in all elective govern- ments; the second is venal and near of kin to open bribery. Jt is now asserted that the joint rowds have the written opinion of all the Judges of the Supreme Court of that State, sustaining them in all their exclusive powers, Thus, the people have not only sold themselves to the roads, but have volunteered by their own tribunals to rivet the chains which bind them tothe purchaser.

Tan Massacuvserts Fosronssts—-Siens or Rese.tion.— Notwithstanding the apparent unanimity of sentiment and the blustering tone of confidence which characterized the negro fusionists of Massachusetts at their Staie con- vention, the other day, we understand that there are symptoms already visible of a wide spread mutiny in the camp. We are even told that the refractory whig conservatives and democrats think it is not yet too late to bring about a system of combined eperations which will result in the defeat of the black re- publicans, ay in the late Maine election, What say the national democrats and the Webster whigs of Massachusetts? sense it has converted a sovereign State of the Union into railroad monopolies. {t is a very and disgraceful argument to urge, lo this state of things, that the people are blame- ‘Jess. They originally possessed all the power; they allowed themselves first to be duped and They surrendered their just authority in the State and then allowed their assignees to make them mere hirelings, tools and instruments of the monopolists. It now remains to be seen how they will receive the recent declaration of the directors of the Am- boy concern on the Burlington homicides, that “the reeuJt proved that the regulation of the company was a salutary one,” and the mono- nopolies entitled to praise in that terrible will. Why not? A SiN wrom Maine,—The Portland Argus says that, so far as the returns have come in, only one man who voted for the liquor law thore has been re-elected. The signs of the times indicate something like this in New York in November, if the fusionists are held to the question. Try them—every man of them—for the Assembly, and the Governor’s veto may fail to defeat the repeal of our mockery of a law. Tae Mavor—Ciry Revorms.—The organs of the negro fusionists are beginning their city campaign by a systematic onslaught upon Mayor Wood and hisalleged shortcomings; but they say little or nothing of his refusal to en- force the length and breadth of the liquor law; and that’s his greatest offence. overlooked. Yesterday being the teuth day’of Tisri or Tishri, the seventh month of tho sacred and first month of the clvil year, according to the Jewish calendar, our Hebrow population celebrated, in thelr peeult Kipur, or Day cf Atonemont, of which we have already given a detailed account.

Stabbing Affray at Rondout, Roxpour, Sept. 22, 1858. On Wednesday evening last Frederick Mayer, (or My- ers,) & boot and shoemaker of this village, was danger- ously stabbed by one of his journeyman, named John Connelly, Tne circumstances, as they transpired at the examination on Thursday, were as follows :—Mr. Mayer having been absent, returned home at about @ o’clock in the evening, and’on his way up to his bedroom, in the third story, saw his wife, as ho believed, eome out of the bedroom occupied by Connelly, and pass out through the hall and back door, Mayer, suspecting improper in- timacy between Connelly and his wile, secreted himself, when, shortly after, his wife returned and entered her own room, wheroupon Connelly went to her door and told her to go down stairs, so that her husband would not suspect any thing when he returned. At this moment Mayer rushed upon Connelly, with the avowed purpose vf putting him out of doors, and, during the seufile id the hall, Connelly stabbed Mayer twice with a sharp pointed shoe knife—once in the abdomen and once In the thigh, where a branch of the femoral artery was severed. Mayor lies in @ very critical condition, and Connelly has been committed to await the result of the wounds inflicted upom Mayer. From Boston. THN PROHIBILORY LIQUOR LAW—MORTALITY OF ‘THE CITY.

Mr. Gadsden had received the approval of Gon. Pierce to another grand design for land speculation, equal in: importance to his first purchase, The terms had bee, arranged between Santa Anna and the speculating diplo- mat, Mr. Gadsden, and all that was wanting at the timo. of the flight to ensure the bargain, was the recommenda- tion of the same to Congress by the President of the United States, andthe favorable action of ovr nationa¥ Legisleture, which Mr. Gadsden had expressed himself as certain of obtaining.
