The City’Hall was yesterday the focus of an im-| mense excitement, caused by floating rumors that! the Grand Jury had found bills of indictment against certain public functionaries. The chamber ofthe Court of General Sessions was filled with anxious Officials and others intensely curious to witness‘ the developements. In the course of the afternoonthe Grand Jury entered the court reom, and, after the usual formalities, delivered to the court a paper, which set forth that knowledge had come to the jury of corruption in several of the heads of departments sufficient to jus- tify the presentment of the Street Com- ‘Wissioner, the Collector of'Taxes, the City Inspector, the Commission2r of Repairs and Supplies, and the Commissioner of Strects and Lamps. Recorder Smith, however, declined to receive the present-. ments, or allow them to.be read, onthe ground that their publicity might prejudice the public mind, and thereby render it impossible to find hereafter anim- partial jury to try the cases. After some converga- tion between the Recorder.and the foreman of the jury, the papers were returned to the latter, and by him handed to the clerk, with directions to pass them over to the District Attorney. Itremainsto be seen what disposition that officer will make of the documents. A full, reportef the proceedings may be found on the first page of to-day’s paper. } The silver grey whjgs of Albany have publicly re- pudiated the action of the late fusion State conven- tions, and heartily approve and respond to the call for a State convention of national whigs, to be held in this city on Tuesday next.

Several merchant vessels were injured, and two men- of-war ships-wrecked. Owing .to the loss of the crops, the poor people were plunged into great mise- ry; but the government was taking means to alle- viate it. General Cazneau’s diplomatic failure, the non-enforcement of the Monroe doctrine by our go- vernment, and the official assumption of the Consuls of England and France, had caused the people to think that the rulers of the United States were either very weak or wery mercenary. We have some additional news from. Mexico. The election of Alvarez to the Presidency is confirmed. It is reported that San Luis Potosi had been captured by the revolutionists after a desperate ana prolonged battle. Vadaumi had ‘issued a sort of manifesto, defining his views and intentions,in which he warm- ly disclaims being an annexationist. Late news from Texas announces the election of Ward (dem.) to Congress from the Second district. ‘The trouble with the Mexicans and Indians along the Rio Grande continued, and there were rumors that large numbers of them had crossed to the Texas side of the river. The citizens 0? San Antonio had resolved to raise one thousand men for immediate service against the marauders. The examination of the parties arrested at the hall of the tree love brotherhood commenced before Justice Osborne yesterday. We give a report else- where. Mr. Brisbane was not present. We continue to-dey the publication of the pro- ceedings of the couct martial in the case of Licut. Haldeman. Counsel for the accused yesterday snb- mitted their defence. It was very lengthy, compre- hending arigid review of the voluminous testimony offered ia the case. The charges, with the several fpecifications included under each head, were taken up and replied to seriatim, and a fall acquittal by the court asked upon them all. On Monday the Judge Advocate will make his reply. According to the official report of the City In- wpector there were 341 deaths in this city during the past week, namely, 73 men, 53 women, 126 boys and 89 girlie, being a decrease of 45 on the mor- tality of the week previous. The deaths of con- sumption were #8; inflammation of the lungs, 13; congestion of the lungs, 4; inflammation of the brain, 10; congestion of the brain, 4; diarrhea, 11; dyrentery, 7; inflaspmation of the bowels, 10; dropay im the head, 14; other dropsies, 5; delirium tremens, 3; scarlet fover, 5; other fevere, 17; palsy, 3; apoplexy, 4; cholera infantum, 6; convelsions (infantile), 20; croup, 6; hooping cough, 9; mozxasmus, (infantile), 31; measels, 3; and debility ¢ipfantile), 8.

The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 2,000 valee, closing steady, without change in prices. Flour was quite active, and the market closed at about 124 gents per bbl. advance. The sales in- cluded parcels for export. Wheat was more active but somewhat irregular in prices. Good red was in demand at full rates, and in some cases a slight ad- ‘vance wae obtained ; while common grades of white and infeyior red and mixed Western lots were without change of moment, and Jess actively in- quired for, Rye was easier, having closed at $1 25 $128. Barley was active at $1 30.0 $1 40. Pork was about the seme, with some better demand for prime. Sugars were steady, tat sales moderate. The auction sale of coffee went off well, and exhibit- ed an adyanve of jc. on common grades, Freights were steady. To Liverpool, 20,000 ashels grain and about 1,500 to 2,000 bales of cotton were taken. ‘There was also a good demand for the conti ley. The Projected the designs of Louis Napoleon, and the scope of his policy, in connection with the re-estab- lishment of the Bonaparte dynasty is being more rapidly verified than we had anticipated. The ostentatious announcement of the Court of Berlin, some weeks since of the intended betrethel of its presumptive Crown Prince to Victoria Adalaide, has stirred up sll the fire health was | Marriage of Prince Frederick ‘William of Prussia te Victoria Adelaide of England, The view we presented a few days ago of of our trans-atlantic neighbors, Perhaps in the present complications ‘of En- repean politics it would ‘ve impossible to con- ceive of a measure more utterly at war with ‘the settled policy of the Western alliance, and more dangerous to its stability and its-future harmonious operations, than the projected alli- ance of “the young Prince of Prussia with the eldest-danghter of the reigning Queen of Eng- land. "We give place, in another column, to an atticle on the subject frem the London Times, which evinces a bitterness and en utter hostility to the measure—a fixed determination to prevent its consummation, anda geod faith to France, which clearly enough show that it will not be effected without a violent struggle. "The truth is that the alliance of England and France was absolute and complete in its terms and conditions. It was more than an alliance : it was a cordial union of the two -Powers—a marriage--not merely a political. conjugal, but a political conjugiel compact. It, rrests upon the bases of the re-establishment of, the Napoleonic dynasty; and‘the union of the heir to the throne of England to the heir pre- sumptive of the throne of Prussia would be .a | violation of its covenants and utterly subver- sive of its purposes. It is manifest that it cannot take place; and to preventit, the power thatput Napoleon upon the ghrone, and that which sustains the present sy#@em in Great Britain, will be brought to bear against it—the popular judgment. It must not be forgotten that in Germany, more than anywhere else in Europe, the people have come to regard themselves as the right- ful governors of their States, They have built up a dynasty of their own, in the expansion of the human mind, in the diffusion of knowledge, and they exercise to-day more power than their king. The Prussian government isa tenant, and not a landlord—it occupies the estates of the kingdom by sufferance. It derives its sole authority from the sympathy and the interest of its powerful imperial neighbors, and it will topple and fall when they withdraw their aid, as they will the moment it is for their benefit to do so. There is, then, but one point to be gained by an allianceswith Prussia, and that is the certain enmity of France, and the almost certain contempt, of both the British and Prussian people. The popular mind of that | kingdom, with the endorsement which the ‘Western alliance has made of revolutionary action in France, gives assurance of greater permanence as a governing power than is found in the estates of the young Prince, who seams to be seeking in advance an asylum sunder the British constitution, and as a mem- ber of its royal family. There would be just as much propriety in a.union between the Co- burgs and a son of the President of the United States, as in the marriage of the Princess Royal with the decaying house ef Hohenzollern. The integrity of the friendship between the Paris and London Cabinets will now be put to the severest test. We entertain no doubt of the triumph of Napoleon in this matter, as in others. He is the very heart and lungs—the soul and the body—the centre and circum- ference of government in Western Europe. His armies have conquered, and his edicts have rewarded. His voice is potential—his will is law. England not lese than Russia has surrendered to him. At Sebastopol he avenged the downfall and imprisonment of the great founder of his dynasty at a single blow. He has won renown by the sagacity of his move- ments, and, above all, he has won the heart of the British nation. Whatever we may think of his government, of his ambitious purposes, of the effects of his rule upon the condition of the human family, it would be folly to deny either his ability or his power. In the re-ar- rangement of Europe, beyond all question he is the moving spirit; and in this view, he is practically the director of the British govern- ment and people. Now the projected betrothal of Frederick William, of Prussia, with the Coburg family, is a measure looking to the pacification of the British people with both Prussia and Russia; it is a projected family alliance, in fact, between England, Prussia, Austria and Russia—an alliance utterly an- tagonistic to the Napoleonic dynasty—at war with the present policy of Western Europe, and which, when consummated, must inevita- bly drive the French Emperor into an attitude of hostility to the London Cabinet, while it will leave him on terms of cordial friendship with the British nation. Such a movement, then, regarded with reference to its effects upon the present state of political relations between France and England, is wholly im- possible. Perhaps the people of the latter kingdom have the least cause, and the least disposition, to disturb their reigning family; but it ig questionable if the consummation of the marriage between the Prussian Prince and and the Princess Royal would not end in the expulsion of the Coburge from Evgland. Let us retitea for a moment from these re- pulsive reflections to the actual coydition of things—to the alliance between the two great States of the West, to their glorious victories in the field, to their cordial inter-congratula- tions, to the special care everywhere exhibit- ted to equalize theirhonors, and to their in- seperable union on grounds of absolute neces- sity for each, end sce if we do not fiad move cance to believe that the heir presumptive to the throne of France, Prigce Napolon Bona- parte, will nitimately lead to the altar the proudest princess in the world, than thet ehe will be traneferred to the protection of a dynasty which is likely to crumbte to the Aust by the merest shock of one of those politi ‘al earthquakes that may now be set down as the inevitable law of Northern Europe. The question for practical solution is whoth- er the Bonapartes shall re-establish their dy- nasty—whether it shall be extended to Naples, to Rome and to Spain—or not. It is the old orde t against the new order, the old system of divine tenures against the new Napoleonic fystem of popular tenures of imperial estates —a trial between the vigor of youth and the decrepitnde of age—and it is a little remarka- ble that the test is to be made on an issne fn- volving the possible sacrifice of one of the most heantiful and accomplished young ladies of England, on the altar of politica) necessity, ‘Tomes anp THE New York Heraip—Norrort AND THE CRIMEA—We do not think that news- paper readers generally give ‘safficient credit to newspaper correspondents. Recently, dur- ing the pestilence at Norfolk, the HuraLp was enabled to give reliable letters almost daily, Newsrarer Corrssronpents—Tae Loxvon containing the most important intelligence in relation to the progress of the fever, the wames of its’victims and'the wants of the sur- wivors. We employed four or five correspon- dents at Nerfolk, two of whom were removed by death. In one case the widow of our cor- respendem took up the pen bravely in his stead and discharged ‘the duties of her late husband with the most commendable fidelity. The thanks of our readers and of ourselves are especially due to this heroic woman and to her -coadjutors. Theirs was no holiday task. Theydescribed no géllant actions in the fick, no brave shows, no splendid processions, no joyous gatherings, no soul-stirring efforte of oratory. They could not enjoy any of the postry of existence in which even the newspa- per correspondent may sometimes indulge— they could only-recount the terrible stery of disease, suffering and death. Their -steps ‘tended toward crowded hospitals and over- ‘lowing cemeteries. They saw only misery and desolationin every home—the grass.grow- ing under their feet and the mourners in the streets, They*hourly expected the dread mo- ment when the plague would claim them for its victims, and when they-should be summon- ed to exchange the pen for the shroud. Those who fell nobly at their posts are beyond world- ly regard or reward. To those who remain we can only offer our heartfelt thanks, The heroism displayed by our cerrespon- dents at Norfolk is not without its parallel. Ever since the Heraup was established we have had an extensive corps of correspond- ents at home and abroad. In the Mexican war we hada well organized bureau, the members of which followed our vic- toricus army step by step. Some of them participated in those actions which shed such lustre upon our arms—all ef them were prompt, accurate, faithful and truthful in chronicling the “battles, sieges, fortunes that have passed.” In many instances the news- papers published accounts of the impartant mander-in-chief had reached the War Depart- ment, and the Senators of the United States first read the treaty of peace in the columnsof the Heratp. The rise and progress of the gold fever in California were duly described by the same unseen but faithful hands, and many a poor emigrant has been saved from the clutches of swindlers by a few pithy lines from.a HeRaup correspondent. At the present moment we bave.a correspondent in the camp of the liberating army in Northern Mexico, another in Nicaragua, another in Venezuela, two in Havana, and, in fact, wherever there is any war, any revolution, either expected or in progrese, any danger, any peril—the ac- counts of which would be interesting or im- portant to the public—there may be found a Hera.y correspondent. The files of this jour- nal will bear us ont in the assertion, and it can be made with truth by no other newspaper ex- cept the London Zimes. The moveable corres- pondents of the last named journal have done the world essential service. They are the true heroes of the war. Officers, according to eti- quette, cannot write for the press what tran- spires in the camp or in .the field. How ex- ceedingly valuable, then, must it be to the pubjie to have men who will give faithful, grapbic and particular acconnts of all that transpires, and how the historian of the next century will drink in the contents of the Times Crimean letters. The reading public enjoy the letters, but they never think of the perils and sufferings of the writer. They never think that this correspondent suffered all the horrors which he describes so well—that he calmly made. notes under the fire of the enemy—and that he received even less consideration than the private soldier, whore wrongs he so eloquently depicts. Yet such is the fact. One of the Zimes correspon- dents fell ill in that very camp before Sebas- topol, and the British officers, with a brutality only equalled by their shameful incapacity ac soldiers, refused to admit him into their hos- pitals; he was carried over the hills under a burning sun, and died that night. Such is the fate a newspaper correspondent may expect. We claim for our Norfolk and Mexican cor- respondents as much credit as is given to the Times writers in the Crimea, and the public will freely accord it, Newspaper correspondents, both sedentary and moveable, have great influence and equally great responsibilities. They should be able, careful and discreet. They should institute “earnest inquiry after facts, and then make them as agreeable in-relation and description as the subject will bear. Our correspondence in Europe and Asia is extensive, interesting and evaluable. On this continent we have resident writers at every important point, and they are re-inforeed by special commissioners upon emergent occasions. Many of our letters are sent by telegraph, and we frequently re- ceive a column or more of important intelli- gence from Washington, Albany, Philadelphia, Boston and other places, over the wires. This news is gathered by our epecial correspondents, and is published in New York before the jour- nals in the city front whence it comes have heard of it. This feature in a great journal is exceedingly expensive, but we think it pays. We shal] hereafter make it still more complete, extensive, correct and valuable, and thus ap- proximate the realization of our intention, which is that the Henatp shall be a daily daguerreotype of all important events inevery part of the world. .

It is o manifesto addressed to the republicans of Exrope, and the point of it is that, Sebas- topol, having been taken, Russia cannot re- cede, but that war. will be indefinitely pro- ionged, and that the present is the proper time for a revolution in France and Italy. Hungary being overshadowed by the Austrian army, can take only the second rank in the army of freedom. Now M. Kossuth writes too mach. He stultifies himself. Before Se- bastopol fell he told the Allies that it would never be taken, and that therefore the war woukl be “prolonged indefinitely.” Mow, wher his prophecies heve all proved falla- cious, he argues from ‘different premises and arrives at the same conclusions. If peace were declared to-morrow, he would have an- other manifesto, and would prove just as con- clasively that the millenium had arrived. He must keep his name before the people, whether he says anything sensible or not. But the re- publicans in Europe bave already ascertained that the “man of the secend of December’ cannotbe annihilated by paper bullets, and that the manifestos of Messrs. Hossuth, Maz- ziniand Rollin are only very niccly written, harmless and amusing documents. Youna Arrica 1v ConveNTION.—We give to- day a detailed report of the “National Con- vention of Colored Americans,” held at Phila- -delphia last week. The free colored men in the North have come out now upon their own platform, and have shaken off the specu- lating abolitionists and all the other politi- cians who have been humbugging them for the last twenty years. They met in Philadelphia, and did pretty well, en .the whole. Fred. Douglass was the leading spirit, and he made a tremendous defence of woman’s rights, on the question whether or not a colored lady from Canada should be admitted as a delegate, Douglass got her in, with all the privileges. The question of politics was not officially touched, and nothing was said about coloniza- tion, which, as these men will find out even- tually, is the only hope for the negro, bond or free. Our report includes some interesting statistics in relation to free negro labor throughout the country, and it seems to us they prove very clearly tha; the race never can sus- tain itself in competition with Anglo-Saxon en- terprise. Liberia is the only place for Young Africa. What does George Downing say now? New Yor« Meprosr. Counecrs.—We publish this morning abstracts of three introduc- tory lectures, or addresses, delivered within the past week in as many medical colleges in this city. The fact is remarkable, as tending to show the position which this metropolis is assuming in regard to institutions of scientific learning. Some years ago medical students would not have been deemed to have com- pleted their studies, or to have acquired a respectable knowledge of their profession, if they did not do sqin the.French or English capital. Now, all that is changed, or is fast changing. New York possesses medical col- leges conducted with as much ability as any in the world; and from all parts of the United States, South America and the Antilles, stu- dents flock here to take out their degrees New York has in that regard assumed to this continent the relation which Paris occupies to the old; and this is one of the very gratifying evidences of the progress which this young re public has made and is making in scientific at- tainments, asin all other branches of human knowledge. ‘Tne Josern WALKER AGAIN—WHEN SHALL WE CET RD or THs Srp ?—We learn that Mr. Jones and his men suc- ceeded in raising the ship and pumping her out on Friday last, but owing to some doubt in regard to the strength of one of the trusses, they let her sink again. Yesterday they had a steam tug boat in readiness to tow ker out of the slip, and raised her once more for this purpose, when three or four police officers came down with a writ from an old contractor, charging the Jones party with steal- ing a fifty dollar chain cable, and compelled the whole squad to march to the Tombs. The Joseph Walker had, of course, to be sunk again; but we suppose that on Mon- day she will again be pumped out, floated and towed away. Well, the public will be heartily glad to get rid of her and the hueand cry that has been raised about her.

Wastineton, Oct. 20, 1855. There is @ good deal of excitement here to-day with reference to what disposition is to be made of the three millions due to Mexico. Mr, Marcy has had it under consideration for some days, end has finally referred it to a cabinet council. The old premier has intimated, I un- derstand, to those new Yorkers who have been here, and who are largely interested, that he would recognize the assiguments which they hold from Santa Anna; but he having, now submitted it to the Cabinet, they suspect ‘him of double dealing, and that the move is made for the purpose of killing it, as it is known that a majority of the Cabinet are in favor of paying the monoy to the existing government of Mexico. ‘The State Department has received no Antelligence of the resignation of Don Piatt, Secretary of Legation at Paris, but it is believed here in officigl circles that some- ‘thing of the kind will be received by the next steamer from Europe. Brigadier Genera] Hitchcock having tendered the resig- nation of his commission in tne army, it has been accept- ed by the President, to take effect on the 18th inst. Private letters from Paris received by the last steamer, represent the physical condition of Mr. Mason, our Minis- ter to France, to be extremely critical. In the Court of Claims, this morning, Judge Gilchrist delivered the opinion of the Court in the case of David Myerle. The Court say:— We-cannot say that the facts set forth in the petition do not furnish any eee for reliet, The claim must depend on the contract shown be age) proof, and the power of the Secretary to make it. Wo shall therefore autho- rize testimony to be taken iu the case. We do not, of course, mean to express any opinion upon the merits of the claim. The Court decide, also, that under the fifth clause of the first section of the act of Congress, they have jurisdiction of all cases whatever which may be preferred to them by either House of Congress, without regard to the subject matter of the claim. No arguments were heard to-day. The case of John C. Hale, claiming a patent for the land on which are situ- ated the celebrated Hot Springs of Arkansas, valued at one hundred thousand dollars, is set down for Monday. Hon. F. P. Stanton is attorney for the claimant. The celebrated case of the brig General Armstrong is set down for Monday week. Hon. P. Philiips, of Mobile, for the aimants, Jacob Barker, Esq., of New York, was sworn in as an attorney. The administration fally endorses the Japanese inter- pretation of Commodore Perry’s treaty, and say that a commercial treaty was never contemplated by either gov- ernment. 1t was only an initiatory step towards such a treaty, and a great national triumgh at that. The United States Consul at Piotwu will receive a com- plimentary testimonial from the department, for his watehfulness over American interests in that quarter. Secretary Dobbin seems considerably worried by the news that Lieut. Rolando was engaged in a desperate con- flict with Chinese pirates at the very time that an impar- tial Naval Board here was trying him on the charge of cowardice and drunkenness. While he was condemnod by the wisdom of the Board here as inefficient, there he ‘was the hero of the fight and foremost in the conflict.
