The State Central Committee of the opponents of the Prohibitory Liquor law, appointed by the Btate Convention of the 19th of June, have issued an address, which we publish elsewhere, calling upon all their friends and the Liquor Dealers’ As- sociations throughout the State, to vote for the en- tire soft shell ticket for State officers. The commit- tee gay the Liquor Dealers’ Convention at Syracuse has not been responded to, and, therefore, they re- pudiate it. The soft shell branch of the democratic party held its county ratification meeting in Tammany Hall last evening. There were the usual antecedent at- tractions of artillery, music, bonfires, &c. A dense mags of the sovercigns filled the hall soon after the doors were opened; and when the resolation pledg- ing the mecting to the support of the nominees was being read there sprung up as pretty a piece of ascrimmage as has been seen there for some time. The: hard shell nominee for Street Commissioner had a large number of his supporters present, and when the name of the softshell nominee, Mr. Sa nuel Allen, was read in connection with that office, there were yells and shouts and harrahs for Harry How- ard and groans for his opponent; and the factions on both sides forthwith went to work and pummelled each other pretty soundly and highly satisfactorily to the lookers on, for at least ten minutes. The Howardites had the best of the fight, and carried everything before them. Mr. Grover, of Albany, made an effort to speak, but he was interrupted every now and then by advice to shut up and to go home, and by cheers and shouts for Howard. The sonorous Cochrane and the gallant Rynders were in the hall, put were powerless to quell the disturbances, or, rather, they shrunk from the effort, as if it were beyond their ability. Mr. John Kelly afterwards made a speech, and was patiently heard, being only at rare intervals interrupted by shouts for Howard. The case of Alderman Herrick, whose indictment ond trial have created so much commotion, was brought to a conclusion last evening. The jury, af- ter three hours’ deliberation, failed to agree upon a verdict, and were discharged by the court. It is re- ported that they stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction. In the Board of Aldermen last evening, Mr. Briggs precented his report from the Special Committee on Police, relative to the nativity of Mr. Mateell, and declazing his post vacant. Objection was made to its reception, and the President of the Board ruled that as it was a minority report the document eould not be received without unanimous consent. The report was, therefore, re-committed. ‘There was no other business of-importance transacted. The question of admitting the Classis of North Carolina into Christian fellowship with the Dutch Reformed Church was decided yesterday adversely to the applicants. The anti-slavery sentiment was too powerful for them, and the subject was laid on the table simply because the application came from slayeholders, A full report of the proceedings is given in another column. Ata regular meeting of the Board of Health, held on Monday last, @ resolution was introduced and adopted, repealing the ordinance subjecting vessels arriving fiom Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay to qnarantine. A resolution that the proceedings of the Board, vp to the present time, should be laid before the public, was also adopted. The steamship Africa reached her dock at Rast Boston about nine o'clock last evening. Her mails will te dve in this city, by the New Haven Railroad, abont five o'clock this afternoon; but as the arrivals of the trains by this route are very irregular, the mivile may not come to hand before nine o'clock in the even! We bave received some interesting items of Puropean news by telegraph from Boston, which nioy be focad under the telegraphic head. The exhibition of the National Agricultural So- ciety at Borten yesterday was remarkably brilliant, not less than tixty thousand persons being present. wpon the grounds. In the afternoon there was a race, in which seven horses took part. Genesee, a New York horse, owned by Mr. Anson Livingston, won the first prize of two hundred dollars. Hon. Robert H. Morris, Judge of the Sapreme Court for the First district, died at Asto: Wednesday last. He was at one time Postmaster of this city, and he had also filled the office of Mayor. ‘The courts yesterday, after suitable proceedings prned in respect to the memory of the de- ceased. From British Guiana we have papers to the 29th ©: September. The Chief Justice of Demarara had had a severe fall from his horse, aud was mach sheken in health from it. The property of Messrs.

Late papers from Jamaica give a fearful account of the depreciation of property all over the island. One planter is about to abandon thirty-one estates, which woald lave sold for the sui of one million pounds sterling previons to the abolition of slavery, and to seek for compensation from England. The Felinouth Post says the only relief will cowe from annexation to the United States. ‘The eades of cotton yesterday reached shout 1,990 © 1,200 bales, based upon middling Uplands at 8c. a ffe., exhibiting a decline since the re- tof the Africa’s news of about / a 4 cent per Ib.

Pork was in moderate request st $22 50 for mess. Sugar and coffee were quiet. ‘There was more animation in freights, with more offering, and rates closed with a better feeling among ship owners, To Liverpool, about 40,000 bushels of grain were engaged at rates stated in another colamm. There wae alo a good business done for Barre and for German porte, 2 on The Victories of Peace—4& Novel National Convention. Jn Boston, on Tuesday, was commenced a most extraordinary national convention, in the sessions of which men of all sectioas, and holding a2} shades of political opinions, from the clearest white to the deepest black, met and fraternized in union, coaciliatioa aud harmony. We refer to the exhibition of the National Agricultural Society. If it was not a national exhibition in one sense of the word— that is, if Southern stock was not represented on the ground—it was certainly so in the gather- ing of men from all sections of the country to witness the display and to exchange ideas upon agricultural subjects, in the proper treatment ofwhich lies the true source of wealth aad power for the larger number of the States ia this confederacy. It occurs to us in view of this exhibition, that there is at present a striking contrast be- tween the old Evropean governments and our young, fresh and vigorous republic. All the great Powers in Europe are either plunged into disastrous and costly war, or are upon the verge of it. The barvest isnot up to the usual standard, and the resources of every country are taxed to the utmost to pay for the expenses of the great drama which has not been half played. France, England and Russia are all Joaded down with debt, and must rely upon the United States not only for subsistence, but for gold, of which we have a superfluity, while their banks will soon be obliged to suspend specie payments. The United States, on the contrary, are at peace with all the world, and we have no reason to expect a collision with any first rate Power. The harvest yields more grain than we can possibly consume—our immense pas. tures in the West give support to millions of fine cattle—the California mines seem to be exlaustless, and the Golden State pours her millions inio the lap of New York without cessation: prosperity, peace and plenty reign throughout our borders. In view of all this, then, the National Ex- hibition at Boston is exceedingly interesting, and we have considered that it is entitled to extended telegraphic reports in our columns, Our special correspondents write to us that the city has never been so full since the great railway jubilee three years ago, when all the European and Canadian commerce was to be diverted from New York and shared between Boston and Philadelphia, There was'a great deal of eating, drinking and speech-making; but New York still has the trade, and the provincial towns are not abit the better for the “jubilee.” The exhibition at Boston isin honor of a great peaceful victory. The patience, skill and in- dustry of our farmers have caused the unwil- ling earth to teem{with its richest producti ns; the enterprise of our citizens has enriched our farmyards and stables with the finest cattle and horses, and the bencficence of Providence bas crowned the labors of the agriculturis: in all departments with success. Passing by the fact that the Boston exhibi- tion is right and proper as a celebration of the unexampled agricultural prosperity of our country, we come to the question of the real value of such shows. It is remarkable after an experience of a hundred years in England, that some people will he so thick-headed as to deny the utility of scientific farming or high cost improved stock. The success of Ameri- can agricultural machines abroad isan answer to the old fogies who sneer at book farmers, while in the matter of stock it seems to us almost too plain to need illustration. Just as some men are more inclined to get fat than others, so are some animals; aud by selecting individuals of proper shape with this tendency, certain breeds have been stereo- typed into a never-failing type; that type in anox and sheep is one which presents the largest extent of primeYneat and least amount of offal; or, as a Southdown breeder express- ed it-—“a perfect sheep should be, as nearly as possible, all legs and loins of mutton.” The jabor of English breeders to bring about these ends has been crowned with entire suc- cess, much to the improvement of our beef and mutton for the table. The ox, which used to be with difficulty fat- tened at six years old, is now presentable in superlative condition upon the festive board at three years’ old. The sheep which formerly fed in summer and starved in winter, until five years old, are now fit for the butcher in twen- ty months, with a better and more eveu flcece. And the pig, which formerly ran races until two years had passed, is now fit for the knife after eating and sleeping comfortably and cleanly, as a gentleman should, for nine months only. The efforts of certain public spirited gentle- nien to introduce such stock into this country, have not always been crowned with the suc- cess they deserved. In fact, importers of fine stock hardly ever make it pay. In this State, Morris, Becar, Hungerford, Brodie & Co., and a few others—regular dealers—if they have not succeeded in making fortunes, have the satie faction to know they have done the country good service, and their efforts will yet adorn our pasturos with as dine cattle as may be seen hy bundreds every day in the fields and feed- ing yards of Herefordshire and Devonshire, and some of which are now attracting the atten- tion of thousands at the Boston exhibition. The improvement of horses is equally im- portant, and mach more profitable. The war in Europe has carried off all the best horses for the cavalry, and persons are now engaged in buying our fine York carriage horses on account of Paris dealers. There were some fine carriage and draught horses at the Boston show. As a general thing too much attention is paid to speed, and too little to strength. The favo- rite breeds of fast trotting horses-the fi Hawk, Messenger ond Morgan—have suff from the fate which always attends constant intermarriage in certain « We should think that a cross of the man horses with some of our sma would make just the animal which is needed for this market—showy enough and fast enough for quiet people, and able to do the work of the farm and the road. The Boston exhibition is complete in all its arrangements. Money has been lavished in every direction, and the reputation of Bostoa merchants for m tained.

They were established by the Duke of Bedford, at Woburn, and by Mr. Coke, afterwards Earl | of Leicester, at Holkham. At these shearings,” ihe great houses were thrown open to agrieulturists of all countries and couaties ; stock. was displayed, implements were tried, prizes were distributed, and gentlemen of rank and fortune, of all opinions and politics, ihrew themselves with enthusiasm into agricultural discussions, and enjoyed the excitement of hos pitality, competition and applause. For in- stance, in 1799 we find in the “Gentle- man’s Magazine,” in an account of a Wo- burn sheep-shearing held on the 21st of June, names since become classical in con- nection with fine breeds—Coke, of Norfolk ; Quartley, from Devonshire; Parsons, from So- mersetehire ; Ellman, from Sussex—worthy successors, in the cattle breeding art, of Bake- well, the brothers Collings, Tompkins, Lord Somerville, and several others. “From one hun- dred to a hundred and ninety sat down to din- ner for five days successively. Premiums for cattle, sheep and ploughing were distributed, and his Grace let above seventy South Down and New Leicester rams for one thousand pounds. The conversation was entirely agri- cultural, and the question was discussed whe- ther the New Leicester or the Southdown were the better breed of sheep.” Since that time, both in England and Ame- rica, these exhibitions have been gradually in- creasing in extent and importance. In the United States, where we have every variety of climate and soil, and unexampled facilities for the aggregation of wealth by means of agri- culture, and where there are, nevertheless, too many consumers and too few producers—too many traders and too few farmers—too many breeders of law and litigation and too few raisers of cattle—too many professional savant and too few scientific agriculturists—these shows are of inestimable value. 7 eheep- Royan Marcu Maxine axp Marriaces.—The Continental press has seized upon the move- ments of the Berlin Court to.unite their pre- sumptive heir to the Princess Royal of Eng- land, and hag already thrust forward the young Napoleon Bonaparte as a competitor. The end of all this may be seen posted in the pre- sent attitude of the Bonaparte dynasty in Europe—-already the .predominant power in the East, and substantially the governors of all the great Continental States. That such a power, acting upon the principles laid down for its guidance by its great founder—the re- establisbment of the empire on the basis of peace—for such, in reality, has been the policy of Louis Napoleon, his diplomatic conquests far exceeding the triumph of his arms—will be able to effect its cherished purposes against such a trembling, shaky competitor as that of the Prussian monarchy, there is no room to question. Beyond question, the most effective political combination in the world is that of France and England ; and the common judg- ment of mankind has awarded the central point—the controlling clement of this union— to the Bonapartes, They, in truth, are the sou) of the league—the heart of modern Bu ropean rale ; butit is undeniable that Eag- land thus in the first days of their return to power is, at all events for the present, neces- sary to the completeness of their government. The force of a family alliance, especially be- tween two States so far advanced in ci A= tion and social retinements as France and England, cannot be over-estimaied ; and from this point we shall regard the movements to dispose of the young Victoria and the young Napoleon. While on this subject we cannot do less, out of regard to the character of the American press, than to notice the following bit of fierce barbarism, which we extract from the elder negro organ, the Zridune, of the 19tb inst ‘he Princess Ace of England is a tall, gawkich girl, with the du], leaden eye and pale sensual cheek which are peculiar to the Guelphs, She has lately been report- «i to have exhibited considerable industry and skill in the manufacture of mits for the wounded Crimean her but she had never previously been eccuced of an apti- tule even for the most ordinary female ace myplishmenta, The young girl who is here assailed with such brutal ferocity was bern on the 25th of April, 1843. The Tribune, par excellence ihe organ of humanity, the advocate of a more kindly brotherhood amongst men, is neverthe- less ready to lend its columns to this species of Arab gallantry, which strikes dowa what is most defencelers. How generous and noble it is in an American press to assault the charac- ter and misrepresent the attributes of a young girl of twelve summers, who has nota friend within three thousand miles of the assailant! The 7ribune exhausts its humanity in its defence of the negroes. Koseurn Betow Par.—John Bull's disregard ot the diplomatic and military instructions of Koreuth is really ehamefal. The last pro- gramme of the great Magyar, in conjunction with Mazzini and Ledru Rollin, was disclosed in their Jate pronunciamento for an Italian red republican revolution. The disordered condi- tion of the kingdom of King Bomba ofters the occasion and the place for opening the ball--when, presto, a British Bonapartist fleet is despatched to the Bay of Naples. The fat is, that throughout the Russian war the mili- tary experience and the political sagacity, the plans, predictions and warnings of Kossuth, have been treated by England with such mark- ed contempt a8 would jostify him in denying to Palmerston any advice or instructions, mili- tary or diplomatic, from this time to the end of the chapter. What's the use of casting pearls before swine? Parntox Ti. A RATOH Hist.—-Bo it re- membered that Patrick H. Agan, of Syracuse, soft shell candidate for State Prison Inspector, has been read out of the democratic church by the Washington Union as “ unsound on the nig- ger question.” Let all our democratic office- holders, throughout the commonwealth, respect this, and vote against Patrick accordingly. Obey orders, and scratch Agan. Very Curious Crecevmsraxce.—It is reported that the county ticket of the black republicans for old Chemung is made up entirely of Van Buren Boffalo and Pierce and Marcy free soil democrats. Prince Jobn must return at oace to the “rural districts,” and gather up those stray sheep, or they will Qe irretrievably lost. /VREPARING FOR THA ( —The Detroit Tribune says that General Cass has purchased the premium pair of lorses ovhibited at the State Fair of Michigen, for a thousand dollars Who says now that the a! does not intend to make a run for C Jin 1gs6? Kansas anp THE Aporrrionists.—The aboli- tion “republicans” commenced the contest the present year by a violent appeal for the resto- ration of the Missouri compromise. That issue they abandoned on the eve of their State convention. The next step was to assert the right of Congress to legislate for the Territo- ries, and to denounce popular sovereiguty in Kansas, and to fiercely assault all those who aided to give the people the right to decide whether they would or would not have slavery. It is still two weeks to the election, and they already abandon their last issue, and appeal to the result of the election in Kansas, on the Ist and 9th inst., as a triumph of freedom. What that result is we do not knows But if it is true that the people of Kansas have decided against he introduction of slavery into that Territory, what are the abolitionists fighting for? Mow can they longer attack the Kansas-Nebraska bills? If their fruits are freedom, why are they complaining? Not to their acts, not from their policy, not from their measures— but in spite of their acts, their policy and their measures, has this result been effected. The truth is, as will be seen, that they are now working to abolish slavery everywhere; and this will be seen in their course hereafter. Nothing short of the destruction of the govern- ment will answer their purpose. That is their aim. THE LATEST NEWS. BY ELECTRIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, THE BOSTON OLYMPIC GAMES.

President Wilder announced that the affair would be carried through by Saturday night. The opening was attended by a grcat crowd, among them many New Yorkers, At ten o’clock there was a grand procession of all the horses, which was followed by atrial of working oxen, fox which fifty yoke were entered, including Benj. Porley Pooxe’s splendid pair from West Newbury. Then there was a parade of six hundred and thirteen truckinen, mounted on theie eplendid horses, and preceded by a bend in a Concord wagon drawn by six horses, ‘The truckmen made a fine displey. This was followed by a trial of draught horses; one pair drew five tons ona muddy track—first premivan one hundred dollars, ‘the course was now cleared for a trial of speod for stallions, four years old and upwards.

In the afternoon there was a tremendous crowd, over filty thourand tickeis being sold at the doors. Every avilable spot of ground in the immense area was crowded with people. There were five thousand ladies present. Fiogs, ribbons and pennants fluttered in every breezo. The amphitheatre was briliant with Yew England beauty. Business in the city was generally suspended, a and old jcined to make a holiday. Everything was « and crcerly, and, although the crowd was overtlo ving with ex ent, joy and joility, it was very polite. Tne yory effective force of policemen, under Chief Taylor and Capt. 8. G. Adams, had but little difficulty in keeping the most perfect order. 11 was a scene at once brilliemt ant imposing. At half-past two there was.a trial of family horses, of which two hundred and ten were entered. Only a small number, however, appeared on the track. At half-past three the crowd had mueh increased, and the horses were brought.up for the gieat event—a race for two hundcod dollors {6 the winuer, and one hundred for the second Dest, trotting mile heals, best three in five, for horses that never trotted for money, free to all drivers. ‘The folluwing gentlemen acted as judges:—Lewis B.

Morris, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of this district, took place sud- aenly on Wednesday last, at the residence of his father- inlaw, Mazcena Monson. sq. of Astoria, There was no member of the bar more generally known or more uni- versally admired, and the intelligence of his death was received yesterday with feelings of intense grief. Tt was but a few days since, on Tuesday last, that we saw Judge Morris sitting a8. spectator in the Court of Oyer and Torminer, apparently in the enjoyment of good health, andon Wednesday he was seized with a sudden attack, and died from the bursting of one of the blood vessels of the heart. Judge Morris was fifty-two years of age. His public career ix fawiliar to almost every New Yorker. He was born in this city fa 1803, and when he wasa mere lad bis father moved to Hudsrn, where the subject of this notice received his education. He studied law iu the office of Mr. A, Millar, of Hudson, and commenced practice at Johnston, Columbia county, and was made « justice of the peace cbout the same time, In 1827 Mr- Morris came to New York to act as Assistant District. Attorney to his brother in-law, James A, Hamilton. - Mr. Morris became a member of the Legislature in 183% or 1835, and was re-elected twice, being three years in succession a member of that body, He was elected Re- corder in 1888, but it will be recollected that in conse- quence of his seizing ‘‘ the Glentworth papers,” while holding that office, he was removed by a vote of the Fenate, brought about by the influence of Governor W. Hi Seward. A plan was set on foot by John B. Glentworth, before the Presidential election in 1840, to send on a num~ ber of voters from Pennsylvania, nominally tolzy the Cro- ton water pipes throngh the city, but virtually to vote for General Harrison in opposition to Martin Van Buren. Mr. Morris ascertained that documentary evidence of thir fact was in the house of # Mr. Pierce, of this city, and a few days before the election he proceeded to Mr. Pierce’s,, in company with Mr. Jonathan D). Stevenson, and seized. the ‘Glentworth papers” and revealed their contents. For this, gs we have said, he was removed, and Mr. B.A. Tallmadge wae appointed Recorder in his place. But the people of New York viewe! the act of the Recorder in a different light, and in 1841 he was clected Mayor of the city by a majoxity of 7,000, and wis re- elected to the high position of chief magistrate: of New York in 1842 and 1843—the only instance we remember ofa man being elected Mayor three times insuccession. At that period of our city’s history the Mayor was elected every year. In 1844 My. Morris was appointed Postmaster of New York by President Polk, ond he held that office for fuur years. While Postmaster. he was appointed, in 1846, » member of the Constitutional Convention of the State, which formed the State consti- tution under which we now act. And last of al}, he was elected, in 1853, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the Virst Judicial district for eight years, more than five yur ot which are unexpired. @ law rejuires that twenty days’ notice shall be given before the election to fill an office; and as this cannot be done in the present: case, the Governor will bave the Fr oy of Judge Morrie’s successor up to January, ', When the vacancy will be filled by the peonie. A few years ago, almost immediately after his elevation. to the bench, Judge Morris was taken sick; and was un- able to attend to his jucicial duties for several months, He recum.ed his labors, however, some time sinco, and: Jast month cat in General Term of the Supreme Court, with. Judges Mitchell and Roosevelt; and next monib, bad he lived, he was to have presided ‘at the Court of Oyer and ‘Terminer, now in session. Judge Morris's popularity $+ aprarent frcm the number, of important otces he haw helo, both by the gift of a President and by the chofce of” the people. Asan advocate ut the bar he was at times forcible, eloquent, sarcastic and jocose; he was a sound lawyer, and in criminal jurisprudence he was considered a high authority. As a judge he was impartial, jast ane yatient ; the tyro and— the ‘Diack letter adept alike received his attention and bis co > the young received from him encouragement, wh! the expesfenced lawyer received a becominc deference to bis pesition and his stancing ia the profession, As a private friend he was affable and sincere, and well stored with a fund of anecdote and professional experience. suse Morris wos an excellent and an entertaining com inion. In his domestde relations he was exemplary, and leaves a fond wife to latent his loss; but to the members, of the bar, who will meet in the Supreme Court on Satur— day morning atten o'clock, we leave the melancholy task of speasing in more extended terms of the character of the deceased Judge, as he was known to the profession and to the communi* His funeral will talc place on Saturday at two o'clock, from the residence of Lis father-in-law, in Astoria. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT. Hon. Judges Mitchell Clerke and Cowles presiding. Oct. 25.—The Hon. Robert H.
