The News. ‘The city was visited by a violent gwie yesterday, which caused come damage to the shipping in the harbor, alt bongh no very serious catastrophe oc- eurred. Tres were prostrated, and the limbs of those standii yg denuded of their Jeeves. Awnings were rent, aud the political placards that are stretched acr 1a8'‘the streets, were considerably da- Maged. A fu Usccountof thedamage done may be found elsewhe: *e- There was a report intown last evening that the ship Republic, | wxce for Bremen, had put back with decks swept, an 4 several livestost. Our ship news collector made no 'weturn.of such a dizaster, and we therefore conclud ¥ twas false. ‘The Republic left this_port on the 1; ‘th inst. It.would be difficult to imagine the return 9 port-of an eastern bound ship in face of the gale o 1 yesterday. The steamship Phi lwdelpiria arrived at this port yesterday, from Hava Wa, With dates to the 23d inst. She brings no political ‘mews of importance. Basi- ness was active, freigh: ‘s scarce and declining. Our correspondent o ¥ the Rio Grande, writing from the camp of the “‘Liberating Army,” near Matamoros, on the sth i wst.,iaforms us that the divisional troops of the e: "Dictator which held that town under Gen. Castro, 1 ‘84 capitulated, and sur- rendered the place to the ‘evolutionists. The de- feated party had good terms accorded to them, and were to leave with arms, amm ‘nition and provisions. A truce had been made betwe ‘the parties Sighting near San Luis Potosi. The libx ¥ators afterwards en- tered the town, when Gen. Parr di fed with bis ad- herentg, Governor Vidaurri hi ‘d issued a decree regulating the import of salt on We dine of the Rio Grande. The National Guards wei © beiug organized all over Mexico. Fever was ravag tg Reynosa, Ca- margo, and other towns. We have dates from Belize, Hon., 'o the 7th inst. The letter of our correspondent, p Ublished .else- where, contains some valuable informa ‘ion respect: ing the condition of the mahogany m: Wket, which seems to be ruinously dull with noimmedi: te prospect of a revival. Provisions were also very @ ‘Wl,and a further decline in breadstuffs was looked . or. The war between Honduras and Guatemala co wtisued, and at last accounts the inhabitants of Om %@ and Truxillo were in a state of great alarm, exp ting an attack from the enemy. We publish this morning a translation of the *t® port made by Prince Gortschakoff to his governme. %t, on the events of the 8th of September, when th © #rench forces, carried the Malakoff by assault, and when, consequently, the southern side of Sebastopo) was evacuated by the Russians and fell inte the hauds of the allies. The Prince's account of the proceed- ings of that dreadful day is full, intelligible and sa- tisfactory, and its perusal will satisfy any one that the allies had little cause for jubilation. Out of the six points against which attacks were directed, the allies were repulsed on five over and over again; and the Prince says that the taking of the Malakoff was due solely to the immense nu- merical force of the attacking party, which wumbered nearly thirty thousand men. The evacuation of the south side had entered, he says, into his views, and when he took into consi- aeration the immense cost of retaking the Korniloff, he determined rather to abandon the city, which he did in good order, and with but little loss. The number of Russians killed, wounded and missing on the sth—exclusive of the artillery, of which he had not received full returns—the Prince reports to be 39 staff officers, $23 officers, and 11,325 soldiers. The financial and food crisis which exists at pre- sent in France has naturally excited 2 good deal of anxicty in the public mind, and is being discussed in the journals. Ag it is a question with which we in the United States are much inter@sted, we farnish to-day some extracts from editorial articles in regard to it which have appeared in the leading Paris papers. We publish elsewhere a letjer from our Brazil correspondent, giving an account of a bloody affair pear Tabatingna, @ small town in the western part of Brazil, in about latitude 40 degrees 35 seconds §., and longitude 70 degrees 20 seconds W., and situated on the left bank of the Amazon. Accord ing to the Brazilian accounts the North Americans were the aggressors, but at al! events it seems they were all killed. Their appesrance was that of persons from the United States. Onur ship news collector has sent us the following particulars respecting the prevalence of fever and wholera at Quarantine, Staten Istand :—On the 2th inst. the schooner Ann Maria, Capt. Conklin, av: rived from Savannah. The captain, mate and one of the crew were sick with malignant fever, and ‘were sent to the hospital. The vessel, being without officers, was cared for by its consignees. The cap- tain is not expected to recover. On the 26th the ship New York, Captain Edwards, arrived from Havana. While in port two of her crew died of cholera, and the remainder were attacked with yellow fever. On the same day the schooner Darling, Capt. Terry, arrived from New Orleans. During the passage two of her crew sickened of yel- Jow tever—one recovered, but the other died and was buried at sea. The schooner Moonlight, Capt. Rodgers, also arrived same day, from Savannah, ) the mate dangerously ill ‘of malignant bilious fever. He was sent to the hospital, and it was pro- bable that he would not recover. On the 27th inst. the schooner Helen, Capt. Slate, arrived from Wil- mipgton, N.C. Two of her crew were dangerously sick with malignant bilious fever, and were sent to the hospital. The Tenth ward police have succeeded in disco vering ® large amount of counterfeit money and ar- resting two of the counterfeiters. About one thou- sand dollars.on Western and Southern banks were seized, together with a number of bank note plates and dies, which bad, to all appearance, been in use tor some time. Full particulars of the case are giy- ep in another colamn. On Saturday several telegraphic reports were re- ceived from various sections of the cotton region, of a killing frost having occurred very exten- sively over the country, the market became ex- cited, and the sales embraced between 4,900 and 6,000 bales. The market recovered nearly all the previous decline. Flonr opened firm, at the pre- Viows day's prices, with free sales, bnt was less bnoy- ant at the close. Wheat was in good demand for export, and good red was firmer, while other de- seriptions were without important change in prices, Corn closed at 96e, a 97c.; the chief sales, however, were made at the inside figure. Pork was rather active, but prises were without materig! variation. Preighta were firm, with fale engagements. To Liverpool, about 30,000 a 40,000 bushels grain were engaged, in bulk and bags, at Ve, a 1c. NEW YORE The Financial Position of Burope. The States of Burope—for the unity of their Mnancial and political affairs places them un- der the operation of one law—commence the new business year burdened by three oppres- sive and formidable draw-backs—the war with Russia, the deficiency of the grain-crops, and the union of their political and financial concerns, That all of these are beigggened by the enormous public debt which existed at the commencement of the war, and since in- § creased to the extent of twelve hundred mit lions‘ef dollars, is obvious. The people of the United States are inter- ested only in ascertaining all the fects bearing upon public affairs on the other side ofthe water. The war itself has been sufticiently-dis- cussed: its effects upen commerce, trade and businessare already apparent. Every mail<rom England bringsus'tidings of the nervous and agitated state of public feeling, and the most etriking feature-of the whole affair is the un- certainty and doxbt in which their ableet men treat the financie! interests of their countries. The energy and-sagacity of the London press, which up to the-present time has probed every movement of the hostile armies, and has brought to light every secret of diplomacy, is-confess- edly at fault in its efforts to solve the compli- cated problem of the finances of Eagiand in connection with the Continent. Twenty mil- lions of dollars in specie has been suddenly drawn from the Bank of England to -Paris and elsewhere; and it is explained upon as many hypotheses as there are writers, and none of them are at all satisfactory. It -has been bought up by the Bank of France at an enor- mous sacrifice to that institution; it has been withdrawn to be sent to Russia to satisfy a se- cret loan made to that government; it was the work of continental operators, who sent to Lon- don long paper, had it discounted, and with- drew the proceeds, which must be returned in due course of time. It was a movement of the French Emperor to fortify his capital with specie to meet the extraordinary demands upon his government consequent upon a failure of the grain crops in his dominions. All these are reasons thrust forward by as many papers and writers,,who seem to overlook the great fact that the war has withdrawn from the or- dinary channels of trade, directly and indirect- ly, more than a hundred millions of dellars, generating suspicion of governments and their financial agents alike, and rendering the latter atany time liable to the withdrawal of large deposits, which constitute an important item in all benking institutions. We regard the financial disturbances which have created so much alarm as only the begin- ning of what the future is to unfold. In the present condition of the belligerents, their im- mense public debts, the enormous expenses of the war, the critical and excited state of the public mind, the history of the past, the short crops, the union of the great banking institu- tions. of the Continent with the governments, there is quite enough to account for the sudden withdrawal of twenty millions of dollars from the money capital of the world. And there is evi- dence in this that the war itself will be protract- ed. Itismade by the Allies upon Russian terri- tory ; and by Russia upon English and French commerce, trade and industry. The with- drawal of the funds of the Imperial family trom England, the stubborn and unyielding s, Visit of the Russian people and government, the wharacter of their industry, the immensity of tL eir resources, the economy of their expen- ditur.?s, fighting upon their own territories and subsist ug upon their own productions, none of which ill be permitted to fall into the hands of their ¢ vemies, are enough to show what will be the futu.ve course of events. Upon the sub- ject of monty there is little sensitiveness in Russia; on tha subject all history shows that England is more sensitive. When Russia, in Violation of the treaty of Vienna, in 1832, absirbed the kingdom of Po- Jand, the very thought of a general war pro- duced somarked an effect wpon the Bank of Eng- land that Lord Palmerston and Sir Robert Peel promptly came forward, in obedience to the demands of commerce, and to avert the threat- ened calamity to the bank, and announced the submission of the government to the fall of Poland. The crisis which then threatened the in- dustry of England is folly uponit now. In the present instance, the funds have been kept up, and the finances of the countries involved in the war sustained, by the delusive hope that Russia would yield and peace be restored. In the forty years of general peace—forty years of unparalleled indusiry—England has only been able to reduce her national debt $200,000,000, Tt has become manifest that the load she bears isall that she can sustain. France hag gone on inereasing her debt. The suspicion of eapi- talists rightly sets in at this very point. Rus- sia knows this, and she knows full well that a great financial crisis, which shall compel a suspension of specie payments, and throw the public securitics into discredit, with no pros- pect of peace, will inflich upon the Allies a calamity far more serious and incurable than that which she has suffered in the loss of Se. bastopol, and may suffer in the loss of the Cri- mean peninsula. The failure of the crops im England, France and Germany, is not less than fifty-five million bushels of wheat. This is fall as much as the whole surplus of the United States, and cannot be supplied with less than $119,000,000. ‘The withdrawal of this sum alone will be sufficient to put the great banking institutions of the Continent to a severe tes sum nearly double that of the specie basis of the Bank of England, and greater than that of the two banks of London and Paris. The folly of the union of financial and poli- tical interests is now made apparent. The former partake of the discredits of the latter, Asthe war progresses, and expenses and ex- penditures accumulate; as individual suspicion of the ability of the governments to meet their engagements increase; as taxes become more and more oppressive, peace more distant: as commerce and general industry incur shock after shack from their great enemy, war—we may look to the banks for shortened re- sources, and, finally, to an entire suspension of payments, In July, 1839, by the foree of commercial discredits alone, the Bank of Kagland had less than fifteen millions of dollars in specie. She then procured assistance from the Bank of France to an equal amount, and thus saved herself from benkruptey. {tis manifest that she has no more than sufficient power to grapple and overcome commercial vicissitudes alone, Ste finds herself embarrassed now, in advance of the requirements which will be made upon her to procure needful supplies of food, and in the very beginning of a war, which, so far, has had little effect upen commerce, and has required comparatively but small means to pat it in operation, The very nervous tremor which seizes the public mind on the occasion of the meeting of the bank directors—tbe alerm and agitation of the financiers about the seising of interest from 5} to 6 per cent—is o waost remerkable feature of the London Ex- change, evincing an unaccountable oblivious- ness to the operation of causes outside, in com- parison with which the proceedings of the bank, one way or the other, are of no possible importance. Let prudent men stand from under. Prince Joun Van Buren AND THE ADMINIS- TRATION——TREACHERY STL at Work.—We published yesterday the materia) portion of the manifesto of the Washington Union, expell- ing the Prince John Van Buren from the democratic church, on account of his late half- and-balf squatters’ rights and free soil speech at Oswego, and the emiable and sweet temper- cd veply of the Prince thereto. We have no space for the accompanying rigmarole of the Cabinet organ. The kernel of itscommentary, however, is simply this:—that Prince John’s declaration that the New York soft shell plat- form of 1855 is the old Buffalo Van Buren platform of 1848, “ makes it a matter of indif- ference, so far as the interests of the democra- tic party are concerned, whether his ticket succeeds or not.” Now, we dare say that the Prince could, if he would, prove from Mr. John Cochrane and others assigned “to the heavy business” at the soft shell Syracuse convention, that their plat- form was drawn up in accordance with instrac- tions from the Kitchen Cabinet, and that this campaign of the Prince along the northern border, so abruptly cut short, was undertaken by and with the advice and consent of the administration, platform and all. We suspect, too, that our reporter, in putting the Prince’s Oswego speech in black and white, spoiled the game of the Kitchen Cabinet, and compelled them to choose between a confes- sion of their double-dealing with the South or their treachery to the Prince and the faithful New York administration party. Had the Maryland, Mississippi and Louisiana elections gone by, the Prince would perhaps have escaped any censure from the Cabinet organ, even with the repetition of his Oswego speech from the steps of the State Department. The old fable of the good-natured dog Tray, who was torn to pieces by the treacherous curs into whose bad com@py he had fallen, may now be read by the Mrince understandingly and with profit. Experience isa hard teacher; but her lessons are impressive and useful. We refer the amiable, facetious and betrayed Prince to the Hon. Pierre Soulé and ex-Go- vernor Reeder of Kansas for further advice and consolation. Mr, Cochrane has “ the heavy business” of his office to look after, and in this crisis the administration can’t afford to stand upon trifles, Will the Prince now favor us with the memoirs of his late visit to Mr. Pierce, at the Virginia White Sulphur Springs? He may thus put everything right again. Who knows? Tue Dutcn Rerormep Cuurcu ON THE SiA- very Questioy.—The laté General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church, in this city, after several days’ debate, refused to admit in- to the Synod the delegation of the church from the State of North Carolina, because it would bring into their councils the disturbing ele- ment of Southern slavery. Thus, another of what Mr. Calhoun, in his last speech in the United States Senate, called the bind- ing cords of the Union, has been snapped asunder, in the division of another Christian church into a church North and a church South. The first and most important of these church ruptures was that of the great Metho- dist denomination, into two sectional bodies Next followed the new school Presbyterian and the Baptists. Of the large Protestant de- nominations the only ones that retain a na- dional organization, including the gospel re- cognization of the institution of slavery, are the old Calvinistic ironside Presbyterian and the Episecpal churches. But the Methodist, Baptist and new school Presbyterian divisions represent in bot! sections of the Union a suf- ficient body of communicants to keep alive the slavery agitation Nori and South, as a re- ligious clement, whatever: the compromises and adjustments of politicians and statesmenr The action of the Dutch Reformed Syned in the exclusion from their councils of twenty- eight of their churches in North Carolina, is but the snapping of another of those cords so impressively dwelt upon by Mr. Calhoun in his Jast memorable speech, detailing the various powerful agencies at work for the dissolution of the Union. In this view, whatever of other political sins may be laid at the door of the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic church, in their exemp- tion from this taint of discord and division upon Southern slavery, they are certainly en- titled to credit. On the other hand, the widening divisions among the most nu- meronsly represented and popular | of our Protestant churches admonish us of the gathering strength, from year to year, of the anti-slavery agitation as a religious sentiment in the North, and of the defence which slavery is proportionately securing, from a sense of religious duty, in the South. It is in this aspect of the question, more than fo any other, that we may look with serious apprehensions to the perpetuity of this Union--and it is in this particular view of the subject, too, that all the resources of the conservative Constitu- tional ané Union-loving masses of the people, irrespective of sections, sects and old political parties, will be needed to stem the torrent of sectional and r us fanaticism in 185 Tuxy I Seem To Mixp tr.—The Albany Adas, (read out some time before,) in referring to the expulsion of John Van Buren from the democratic party by the Cabinet organ at Wash- ington, says :— Every day, after the King of Tartary has set down to hia repast snd eaten eoptonsly of horsetlesb aud drunken freely ef mare’# milk, he orders his herald to proclaim, throvgh portentoos ox-horns, to the North, the South. the Fast and the West, that “Whereas, he, the Bother of the Sun and Father of Ure Moon, has dined, the mo- narchs ot the rest of the world are now permitted to sit down and eat” There is but ove paratiel to the conte- scension of the Tartar chief. The common seoldof the Warhington Union—the very cream of Tarturs in actdity and shrewishness—aasumes to read Jchn Van Baren oat of the demeratic party, It takes up its ox-hora and blows it sonorously to the southward. pronouncing that Mr. Van Huren shall not sit down to the board with the de meeracy of New York til it gets through at Washington. ‘The proclamation will be heeZed about as much as that of the horse-dining movarch from his tents on the Heppes of Asia, who regulates the law of international comity with qui much authority as the Unwn dows ‘Lat of polities in there States, Pretty good for an outsider. Shonldn’t won- der if the softs, after consuming all the spoils, were to contrive, as well as the rest of the de- mocracy, to get on without the administration. Eicnty Iuportanr Unper THE Orcun- stances.—Prince John Van Buren is appointed to address the coft shells at the capital, at Al- bany, to-morrow evening. We have received the following programme of his arrange- ments :— 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

New York, October 27,'1855. Good chance for a rich speech. Let the Kitchen Cabinet “look out for the locomotive | while the bell rings.” Sreecu or Mr. Frournoy at tae Viraita American. Party Stare Convention.—We pub- lish to day our reporter’s report of the speech of Hon. Stanhope Flournoy, at the State con- vention of the American party, lately held at Lynchburg, Virginia. At this particular junc- ture it will be interesting to politicians of all parties, in reference to the existing and pros- pective policy of the Know Nothings down South. We suspect, however, that Mr. Flour- noy has scarcely broken the shell of the ques- tion of the reconstruction of the American party in 1856, The first step was taken by the Virginia Convention in the resolution for the abolition of the dark lantern, and for an open organization, Other steps, suggested by the necessities of the crisis, will doubtless follow. There is plenty of room for a new organiza- tion, and plenty of time. Read the speech of Mr. Flournoy. Is Sepastopo. Taken ?—A correspondent. writes to us to decide this question, stating thet a heavy wager is pending on our reply. Aman curious in small matters once wrote to the ce- lebrated O'Connell to ask him for his auto- graph. The answer was, “I make it a point never to give my autograph. Yours traly, Daniel O'Connell.” In the same spirit of Irish Jaconism we beg to inform our correspondent that we never take upon ourselves to decide wagers. But—Sebastopol is taken. Ex-Governor Reever ann Mr. Prerce.—Read the special Washington despatch in our tele- graphic column. We believe that it defines the position of the Kitchen Cabinet and the Presi- dent upon the case of Governor Reeder very tenderly. Circulate it, for the comfort of the softs. Progress or City Rerorm.—The progress of city reform was strikingly exemplified the other day in the arrest of aJohn Chinaman upon the charge of honestly attempting to earn his own subsistence. There is hope tor‘us yet. THE LATEST NEWS. BY ELECTRIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, From Washington. GOVERNOR BBEDBR AND THE ADMINISTRATION—NO OBJECTION TO HIS ADMISSION AS DELEGATE FROM EANSAS—FORNEY’S POLIGY—S. CHASE BARNEY AND THE LATE NAVAL BOARD. Wasmuxtos, Oct. 28, 1855. 1 was informed last evening by » gentleman high in au- thority, that the President has, from the commencement of the Kansas difficulty, been a warm friend of Reeder, and that he would not have removed him had it not been for Jeff Davis, who had persuded him to believe that unless he removed Reeder the whole South would repudiate bis administration, Upon that state of the case he listened to Davis and the voice of the South, and made the removal. Bat that if he had it todo over again, or a similar care should ever be pro- sented, the counsel of a second or third person would not be heeded. Furthermore, that ‘f Reeder should be per- mitted to take his seat in Congress as a delegate from Kansas, it would not cause the slighies! uneasiness on the part of Mr. Pierce. It appears the /’resident has changed his views since the election in Main» and Pean- sylvania. Forney, 1 understand, will do nothing to in- jure Reeder’s chances in the House, as heis a sworn friend of his, (Reeder’s;) and as he is understood to be in- terested in land speculations with Reeder in Kensas, Jeff Davis and other Southern men intend to make that the issue in the election of Speaker; and with that view are bringing everything in ther power to bear. S, Chase Barney, late a Li@utenant in the United States Navy, issues a pamphlet to-morrow on the subject of the action of the late Naval Roard, in which he presents an. interesting view of the Navy list as it now stands, and shows that the present pay of the officers exceeds that of the old list by $80,000 per annum.

The extraordinary manifesto recently issued by the Aworican Minister in Mexico is tho subject of severe cous" ment here; and itis supposed may occasion much mor, tifleation to the President and Premier Marey. Its ap parent, or rather its avowed purpose, was to exculpate the revolutionary chiefs of that country from the charge of seeking an American protector@te. If it had stopped there, it might perbaps have been well enough, although ministerial manifestoes of this character are searcely consistent with dignified diplomacy. An authoritative em‘al to the ordinary furm, in some public journal, would have been in mach better taste. But you will observe, afer resculng vory earnestly, and atlength, all the revolutionary chiefs from the al- Iegation referred to, he proceeds to remark: — ‘This legation cannot, however, testity as much for some who process loyalty to the coprervailve power, and why have mado Piggestions favorable to.an American protectorate: but always wih the melancholy and distresaiag conviction that M afier thirty years of interval convulsions, presented the ties of @ people Incapable of scli government; and ¢ . tue Mexico from aparchy there was now a necessity to seok protection under the wings of a neighboring republie, tha had yo sienally demonstrated ita capacity to consummate tte Ppeclaration of Independence’? in tranquillity and advance- ment. Now, in the name of reason and justice, if it was right and consistent for the American Minister to appear on the stage and deny the complicity of the members of one fuction, in what was regarded as improper, if not trea- sovable—how does it become his duty to volumteer, in the same connection, a public accusation against the poor, struggling conservatives, who had enough to do otherwise, to prevent their houses froin being mobbed, and keep their heads on their own shoulders—overwhelmed and de- feated as they had been, by these same succeasfal reyolu- tiovists, so gratuitousty vindicated by Gen. Gadsden? Suppore some members of the conservative party had coubdentiolly made suggestions favorable tovan Ame- rican protectorate’ in some moment of despondoncy, and coupled with the pregnant reasons stated by him; is it for the aceredited representative of a great and gens-ous people, like the United States, thus publicly to taunt therm with it ix a period of disaster, and when, too, such on accnsation so responsibly uttered might expose its victims fo the eager and bloudy vengeance of a seimi-bar- barove ehiefiain like Alvarez! the idea prevented in the conclading paragraph of thts remarkable missive is doub'lese in accordance with ths Jes of the new rcbo) of diplomacy inaugurated by fatcy.

Dramatic and Musical Matters, At the Broapway TukavRe, Mr. Forrest concluded an cogagement of three weeks on Saturday night last, play- ing Claude Melnotte.in “The Lady of Lyons,” to the Pauline of Miss Coombes, @ “young lady of this elty,” who made her ‘first appearance on any stage,” and was so very successful that the people thought she must have acied before. Duriog the week Mr. Forrest has played several of his favorite characters to crowded houses. This evening, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams commence an engagement of twelve nighis, previous to ‘their departure tor the South, where they will remain for the winter, The pieces presented by Me and Mrs ‘Williams are light and pleasant enough to satisfy all who go to the theatre to enjoy a hearty laugh. ‘The bill, to- night includes “The Custom of the Country,” “O’Flanna, gen and the Faixies,”’ and ‘The Irish Lion,” The business at the Broadway is carried on with the most cxamplary regularity under Mr. Blake’s manage- ment, At Nnio’s Garpzy the performances of the Pyne Opera troupe are rapidly draving to a close, as the company Will go South, like the other siuging birds. The enter- taiaments to-night are various, and are for the benefit of W. A. Moore. The bill includes two acts of ‘Rip Van Winkle,” a ballet divertisement, and a farce, in which Mr, Burton will play. “Fra Diavolo” is up for to-morrow night, and on Friday MissL. Pyne takes her farewel! benefit, and plays Adina in the English version o “L)Elisir d’Amour.”? At Wattack’s Timarne the events of the weck have ge been the production of Mr. J. Sterling Coyne’s comedy. “The Man of Many Friends,” and the déiut of a new actress, Miss Georgina Hoodson, formerly a member of the stock company at the Lyceum, London. That the comedy and the actress haye proved to be happy hits for the manager is apparent by the bills of this evening, where they are both annunced. Miss Hodson plays Gertrude in “A Loan of a Lover,” "in which she purpores introducing a song compored by her father, the late G. A. Hodson, composer of ‘Oh, give me but my Arab steed,” “We have lived and loved together,” and many other popular songs. Mr. Wallack underlines a new comedy called ‘ Manifest Destiny.” At Burton’s Tuxarre the bill for this evening includes “The Man of Many Friends,” and ‘The Maid of Croissey.’” Mr. Burton plays in the first piece. At the Mernororitay Treatre the Spanish dancers ap- Pear in two divertisements, and there is a good concert programme, in which Signora Vietti has a part.

Here they again called for liquor, when, on the lanalord’s refusing to give it t them, they commenced breaking the decanters an ses, and swashing the furniture, Upon this, th landlord and his two German assistants attempt ed to eject the rioters, when one of the ne gioes pulled a razor from lis pocket, and com- menced striking at the Germans as hard as h could.

By a Babin cireular of Sept. 18th, which we have just received per steamer Africa, it appears from the report on sugar and coffee, that the ravages of the cholera in that Province is likely to serious y affect the production of the coming crops of both articles. One of our private letters, of Sept. 15th, from Balun npeaking of sugars, says :— “There are now no really good sugars to be met with. We feor that the coming crop of this staple will alao be much interfered with by the cholera. We know of one planter alone who bas lost two hundred and seven blacks, and the want of labor must soon be seriously felt. In the city about six thonsané have falien victins to the epi- demic, and # like number for the small towns «od villagos is rather under than above the mark. The worst feature OF the care is the terrible panic which is evecywhere rife.’ Alloding to coffee‘ The cholera being *o malignant here pow, ali further supplies will be pat a stop t time, and prices are already looking Wp.” Personal Intelligence.
