We have $ransferred this morning to our celumns a number ‘of extracts from our files of foreign journals, con- taining interesting 1nformatiun retative to the fall of Sebastopol. Among them may be found a list of the ‘killed and wounded British officers, a vivid descrip- tion of the TeDeum at Paris, amd an analysis of Count Nesselrode’s last diplomatic circular. ‘We make rom to-day for our full reports of the eonventions of the whig and abolition parties at Byracuse on Wednesday and Phursday last, and of fhe proceedings which attended the inauguration ‘movement of the new abolition league. Our reports ‘will be found to be graphic; and as they exhibit a number of the temperance orators and politicians in their true characters, they should be filed away and preserved for future reference. The New York Temperance General Committee met last night to complete the organization. A committee was appointed to nominate candidates for city and county offices. The inauguration of this new temperance movement, as anmounced in our coinmys, with the platform adopted at their - meeting held two weeks since, is pretty generally known. fhe attempt thus to fuse the opponents to the Maine law and those in favor of a stringent license law, seems to be meeting with quite extend- ed approval. A full report of the proceedings is : meces:arily crowded over. Commander Ingraham, of Koszta celebrity, and Commander Hollins, the destroyer of Greytown, have been promoted to Captains. We have @ month’s later news from the Plains. The troops comprising General Harney’s command were all in good health. Lieut. Heath was killed at ‘the battle with the Indians'at Ash Hollow. The epidemic at Norfolk and Portsmouth is rapidly abating. On Thursday, at Norfolk, there were but seven deaths, and no new cases. At Ports- mouth, on Friday, there were but three deaths. President Pierce is suffering from chills and fever. A very noticeable and gratifying improvement of the public health is reported by the City Inspector in his last weekly statement. The total number of @eaths during the week was $55, namely: 50 men, 57 women, 131 boys and 117 girls; showing a de- orease of 41 on the mortality of the week previous. In the public institutions there were but 22 deaths. The principal causes of death were—Bronchitis, 4; congestion of the langs, 5; consumption, 38; inflam- Mation of the lungs, 8; congestion of the brain, 5; inflammation of the brain, 9; diarrhoea, 21; dysen- tery, 20; inflammation of the bowels, 4; typhus fe- ver, 6; scarlet fever, 8; typhoid fever, 5; cholora infantum, 25; convulsions (infantile), 3i; croup, 8; hooping cough, 11; and marasmus (infantile), 35. There were 5 premature births, 26 cases of stillborn, and 9 deaths from violent causes, including one suicide andone murder. The following is the classification of diseases:—Bones, joints, &c., 4; brain and nerves, 09; generative organs, 4; heart and blood vessels, 4; lungs, throat, dc., 85; skin, &c., and eruptive fe- vers, 8; siillborn and premature births, 31; sto- mach, bowels and other digestive organs, 120; un- certain seat and general fevers, 29; old age, 1. The nativity table gives 273 natives of the United States, 50 of Ireland21 of Germany, and the balance of various European countries. The cotton market continued quiet yesterday, while sales were unimpo'tant, as dealers were still without the America’s letters, which were anxiously looked for, but would uot arrive in time to be made available in the market until Monday. Flour was unchanged, with a good demand for export. Wheat was firm. A contract for 10,000 bushels Tennessee red was setiled at $192. Good Southern red on the spot ranged from $1 90 a $1 92, aud white do. from $206 a $210,the former figure for Canadian do. Corn experienced a slight decline. Pork was dull, and sales light. There was a speculative movement in coffee, and the sales of Rio embraced two car- goes, amounting to about 7,000 bags. Sngars were steady, but comparatively quict. Freights to Li pool and London were again firmer, with a amount offering and taken for present and future delivery. A Newspaper - On the 27th, Mr. John Cochrane proposed in Tammany Hall a series of resolutions, amount ing to a vote of censure upon an Albany paper, in consequence of articles which appeared in its columns condemning the administration ; and they were carried by thirty-one to ten, This shows that Tammany is not up to the Tevel of the age. Years ago, in that antedi- luvian period which witnessed the struggles of the whig and democratic parties, polfticai cliques and factions had their newspaper organs, which lived oa the alms of the party, and were of course meekly obedient to the mandates of its chief.

The only tro conventions which are yet to be held ir, view of the fall elections are those of th,e New York State Temperance So- ciety, Wsich meets at Utica on the 2d of Octo- ber, 4744 the anti-Maine law State Convention, whiesh assembles at Syracuse on the 10th. The la‘ster is composed of delegates from the liquor ‘dealers, “ including importers, hotel keepers, brewers, distillers, saloon keepers, jobbers, grocers, bottlers, makers of cider and dealers therein.” It is understood that this conven- tion will choose from the tickets already be- fore the public a set of men in whom it can place confidence, and will exert its influence to secure their election regardless of party. On the other hand, the New York State Tem- perance Convention will in all probability nominate a ticket of its own. The first an- nouncement of this convention was @ call, which appeared in the New York Tribune, dat- ed 1st September, 1855, stating that on con- sultation, the friends of temperance had deotd- ed to postpone the convention to the $d day of October, when it would meet in the City Hall at Utica. This call was signed ky the members of the State Committee, in the first rank by William Richardson, of Albany, and Horace Greeley, of New York. At and before the time this call appeared, we warned the public that the Seward men would throw overboard the liquor question this fall, in order not to embarrass their ma- noeuvres for the Presidency, and to swell the party bound to ‘the interests of Williem H. Seward. The imputation was vehemently denied ; the Tribune was especially indignant at the bare suspicion that it could, under any cir- cumstances, play false to a cause to which it had owed se much. On Thursday last, at the Republican Convention, when Mr. Stebbins proposed to add a plank tothe platform pledg- ing the party to the support of the temperance cause, the body of the Sewardites opposed it, and the man chosen to be the mouthpiece of those who were there to repudiate teetotalism was Horace Greeley. His spech was convinc- ing and practical. He showed the absurdity of the policy pursued by the temperance party ; deplored their impracticable spirit; wished Mr. Delavan had a little more common sense ; and finally Geclared his intention of voting himself and advised others to vote for candi- dates regardless of their pusition on the liquor question. It isto be hoped that, now, the country ad- vocates of teetotalism will understand the character of the men who have undertaken to lead them and to assume the cares of office or chieftainship for the accomplishment of great public measures. When the Hon. H. J. Raymond, having been elected Lieutenant Governor on the strength of a letter which to ninety-nine out of a hundred persons who read it appeared to contain a pledge to sign Clark’s Viquor bill, turned round upon the party di- rectly after his election, gave no aid to the temperance men, shirked the vote on the bill, and finally aided the liquor dealers as best he could by waging a secret and insidious war- fare in his paper on the prohibitory law, the temperance men of the country parts consoled themselves with the reflection that “Raymond had always been a slippery chap,” aud that “Greeley wouldn’t have treated them so.” They now see how much more faith may be placed in Greeley than in Raymond. Whether after this they will continua to allow them. selves to be used hy every scheming dema- gogue who pretends to have great humanita- rian reforms to accomplish, or noble battles to fight in behalf of human rights and moral truths, we shall see in the course of the next twelve months. Corruption in the City of New Yorkels There a Remedy } Of the disgraceful acts that are daily com- mitted within the walls of our public buildings the public have but a very limited knowledge. In fact, no just idea can be formed of the amount of corruption that is practised by some of the city officials sworn to perform faithfully the high duties committed to them. There seems to be a co-partaership, as ib were, existing between certain officials and a set of lawyers who infest the tribunal of justice with their presence, and which results in the libera- tion of the very worst characters from prison on their paying over a respectable sum of mo- ney, to be equally divided between the officials and the lawyers. In order more clearly to show the manner in which justice is defeated, it will be only necessary to deseribe briefly the modus operandi xt present in vogue. In the first place, it is quite a common oc- currence for descents to be made periodically upon houses of ill-fame, for no other purpose than that of feathering the nests of those lawyers. In making these deseents upon disor- derly houses, all the inmates—both male and female—found therein are arrested aad con- veyed to the police court. Here, after going through a mock ceremony, all the prisoners who are able or willing to pay are discharged, through the means used by these legal gentle- men, who generally manage to get about fifteen or twenty dollars from each of the un fortunate creatures, This operation is re- peated probably once a month on the same house; there being a large number of such houses, an incredible revenue is thereby poured into the pockets of these limbs of the law. Now, it is not to be supposed for a moment that any honest magistrate could Jend himself to such transactions, for he certainly must be aware of the utter inutility of making thes: repeated descents upon disorderly honses, as far as the public good is concerned. fe must w full well when he sigus the warrant, hat none but the lawyers can be benefitted by the execution of the same. Public justice nd the well being of the « ommunity do not de- mand any such course of procedure on the part of criminal magistrates. Why, then is it that the unfortunate people of whom we speak are every now and then beset by the police attached to the courts? It is not for the pur | of promoting public morality, for they a never legally punished. Dut they are arrested merely to be liberated in a few hours afterwards, on the pay- ment of fifteen or twenty dollars each to the very men who were the fnstigators, perhaps, of their persecution, We cannot imagine why these magistrates should be so very solicitous about the welfare of this class of lawyers, un less they have a finger in the pie themselves, The supposition may appear to be an unkind one; but from the facts before us, we can come to no other conclusion, unacceptable as it may be to the officials in question, There is another point of importance in con- nection with criminal Proceedings in New York, to which we would invite the attention of the Grand Jury especially. We have refer- ence to the careless and culpable manzer in which the duties of the courts are in general performed. The discharge, without the know ledge or consent of the District Attorney, of parties well known to be thieves, and against whom there is adduced and filed sufficient ev’. dence to send them to the State prison, isa very frequent occurrence. Not long ago, a man caught in the act of stealing, wasdischarg- ed by a police justice, without the slightest pre- text, Another case, similar $9 this, happened about three weeks ago. A ‘aoterionus rogue— who stands indicted for three several offences— after being arrested on a bench warrant issued from the ‘Court of Gerseral Sessions, was dis- charged on straw be,il,and as a matter of course, when the case was called on for trial the defendant was among the missing.- The bondsman was looked for, but in vain; no one ‘had ever seen or heard of the gentle man—he wasa perfect myth. It is thought by many that this straw bail system was esttirely done away with some years ago, Taat isa great mistake. Every day men come forward and become. bondsmen for prisoners, n sums varying from three to ten hun- dred dollars, who are known to the ma- gistrate not to possess one hundred dollars worth of tangible property. If a verdict of guilty is inevitable, and the accused, there- fore, desires to absent himself from: trial, why, then the bondsman takes a tour along with him, until the affair appears to be so far for- gotten as to admit of their return in safety. Then, again, there are a set of men who fre- quent the courts for the purpose of going bail for Tom, Dick and Harry. It appears to be a philanthropic profession, but it is nevertheless ® paying one. Persons accused of small crimes pay very willingly ten, fifteen or twenty dol- lars to these philanthropic individuals for be- coming security for their appearance when called upon for trial. Those who follow this profession generally manage, in the course of a few years, to scrape together the very mo- derate sum of fifteen or twenty thousand dol- lars, By the unfortunate state of affairs which we have described, there are daily let loose upon the community criminals whose repeated es- capes from the clutches of the law render them bold in the commisssion of crime ; for, acting under the impression that they can always manage in the same way to evade punishment, by the connivance of officials, they stop at no crime until the commission of some capital of- fence places it out of the power of any one either to discharge them altogether or allow hem to go at large upon worthless bail. There are also certain officers connected who become business partners of the lawyers, and procure for them all cases coming before the magistrates that they think will be productive of profit. That is done in this way: Officers having warrants for the arrest of parties, first intimate the fact to their business partner— the lawyer. The two forthwith proceed to the residence of the accused party, and here all arrangements are perfected. A bondsman is procured, and, everything being arranged, all parties come into court; bail is given, and the accused is discharged. That is, of course, where the party can afford to pay. But if, on the other hand, the accused is a poor man, and unable to fee either the lawyer or policeman, why, then, without any ceremony, he is uncere- monioucly arrested and placed ip prison. If a party well to do in the world has any aiticulty in obtaining bail, and it may require even a week or a month to procure the requisite secu- rity, then, for a consideration, the officer hold- ing the warrant for his arrest will wait patient- ly until the offender has all things properly arranged, so as not to permit of his remaining in the felon’s cell a singlé hour, The portrait which we have here given of the cerrupt manner in which justice is dis- pensed in our midst is, by no means, an exaggerated or highly colored one. The evil loudly calls for remedy. The recent action of the Grand Jury may, and we hope will, have the effect of remedying some of the many wrongs that have existed so long in connection with the administration of justice in this city. Certainly there is no species of reform more sadly needed in our city than that which would convert the police courts into temples less re- pugnant to every principle of morality and good government. Grex. Wess Harp Acrounp.—Our venerable and venerated veteran of the Courier and En- quirer, the Chevalier James Watson Webb, is hard aground. He took his stand boldly, in- dignantly, enthusiastically, and for the war, with Master Seward’s Holy Alliance for the restoration of the Missouri black line. He was in for it, though it might involve the election of Garrison for President and Tappan for Vice President. Nay, more, we verily believe he would have still stuck to the ticket with the addition of Lucy Stone for Secretary of State, in the place of Marcy. But, lo and behold! the fusionists at Syracuse abandon the Missouri compromise line as a humbug, and proclaim the Wilmot proviso—whereupon Gen. Webb says, “Let the coffin pass.” But he says more: He says, “Gentlemen, when you ask us to go tothe grave (meaning the grave of that dead humbug, the Missouri compromise) and swear with you before high heaven to take vengeance on its murderers, we must think of that—aye, we must think of it.’ And thus we leave our gallant chevalier hard aground.

Last night the Boston express train, under charge of Conductor Banseb, met with a serious accident one mile above Williamsbridge, on that part of the track which is quite old. ‘The train was going at a reduced speed when it encoun- tered a broken chair. The five cars and locomotive passed over safely, but the last car went off tho track, and turned on its side down an embankment, smashing up the seats and the trucks. ‘The coupling of this car broke and thus saved the train beyond. There were some twenty passengers in the last car, about twelve of whom were injured—none of them, it is believed, severely. One gentleman has a fractured thigh, one a broken arm, and several most severe contu- sions about the head, Dr. Ordreneaux was on board and rendered most effective and prompt aid. ‘The train ran about a quarter ef a mile before the ac- cident was discovered. Messrs. Hall (the District Attor- ney) and Dana (of the Tribune), with Conduetor Baush and other gentlemen, immediately set to clearing the wreck, and ine few minutes the injured were taken out ‘and laid on cushions by the road side, and then taken into the train.

The Church of St. Peter’s, a new Catholic church, on the corner of Albany aud Harvard streets, Boston, waa dedicated on the 23d inst., with the solemn and imposing ceremonies of the Catholic church. The services com- menced at 10 o’clock, and lasted till 1, the church being crowded to excess. ‘The ‘Deo Gloria’? was performed by Tull chotr, accompanied with great effect by a powerful orchestra and the organ. The High Mass was performe: by the Bishop of Boston, Province of New York, the Right Rev. John Fitzpatrick, assisted by several officiating priests, after which he consecrated the house and altar, according to the ritual of the church im such cases. An able rermon was then delivered by Rev. Thomas F, Mul- ledy, Prefect of Studies in the College of the Holy Cross, ‘Worcester. The cathedral, which iv occupied by the congregation of Rey. Lr. Walsh, numbering about 6,000, is built of brick, in a very substantial manner. Tho: style of archi- tecture is, quite simple, and the exterior presapta but few attractions, The interior is marked by its beauty as well ax chaste simplicity, ‘The roof, which is very lofty, is dark bive, with ornamental tracery in gold, which, seen through’ the orken rafters, has a.fine effect, The walls are colored to imitate stone, of a light shade, and the woodwork is painted in imitation of oak. The’ win- dows are of stained glass, of very beautiful designs and rich colors, but there areno pictures or images in the edifice. The effect ot the whole is very well suited to the services of religious worship. The Evangelical Lutheran church in Dixon, Ill., is to be dedicated to the worship of God to-day. Anew church has just been completed on the Clarks- ville road, quarter of a mile west of Babcock’s Corners, in Albany county. It is @ neat frame edifice, capable of seating two hundred persons, and is built for the True Dutch Reformed congregation, and was completed on the 26th inst. The Society separated from the Dutch Re- formed church in that vicinity xome time ago, and have since then held religious service alternately at their resi- dences. Dr. M. L. Hewitt has douated a site for an Episcopal church at Marquette, in the Lake Superior country, and a society has been organized and a church edifice com- menced, It is intended to have the church ready for use this full.

On last Thursday began the Hebrew Feast of the Taber- naclea, which was designed to commemorate the wander- ings ox the Children of Israel in the wilderness, when they dwelt in huts and tents. Although the Jew is deemed sordid and unpoetical, and doubtless is so in worldly matters, yet the manner in which he celebrates the Feast of the Tabernacle shows that the Divine fire is not ex- tinct, and that the sense of beauty of appropriate sym- bolism still prevails in all his religious ceremonies, Those Hebrews who can afford the outlay erect huts in their gardens this time of the year, and adorn them with branches of trees, with flowers, and with sweet smelling spices. In these temporary retreats the Hebrew lives for eight days with everything around him to call to his mind the wanderings of the Children of Israel in the desert. On the 4th of October prox the foast ends, and on the 5th prox the grand festival is finished. In ancient Judea the judges and rulers were chosen at this time of the year, punishinents were also inflicted, and culprits stoned to death — ‘The Feast of the Tabernacles is just! regarded by the Jews as one of their most solemn festivals asit is certainly ove of the most significant and beautifal ATrEMrTED SuICIDE.—A girl, seventeen years of age. named Rose Duffy, was found lying on the stoop of the house No, 82 West Twentieth street, apparently dying.

MISCELLANEOUS. On Wednesday, the 12th of September, six professed sisters left the Convent of Mercy, in Houston street, in this city, to establi-h# house of their order in Brooklyn. Nearly $60,000 have been placed at the disposal of the committee appointed by the General Synod of the Reform- ed Dutch Church, to procare the erection of a theological hall, at New Brunswick, N, J.
