The maximam of punishment for this effence is one year's imprisonment and a fine of 9850. The body of Mr. Edward Neville, proprietor of the Kings County Hotel, Williamsburg, who dis- appeared mysteriously from his premises on the night of the 8th or morning of the 9th inst., was foond yesterday in the water at Gowanus, near @reenwood Cemetery. Althongh much mutilated, & was easily identified by his friends. The coujec- fares with regard to the manuer by which Mr. Meville came to his untimely end are numerous and conflicting. By some itis believed that he was led by the pressure of pecuniary embarrass- ments to commit self-destruction. Others are af opinion that he was brutally murdered. The time of his disappearance—between one and two @’clock in the morning—the retired location of one pertion of his stables, which itis said he was in tue abit of inspecting personally before going to bed, ‘the fact of his usually carrying a large sum of money ‘en his person, and that but a trifle was found on his ody, when recovered, certainly favors the idea that he was foully dealt with. However, a Coroner's jc- ry has already been empanelled, and the facts will Be doubt be rigorously investigated. We give a fall account of all that has transpired thus far in vegard to this mysterious affair in another column. Many erroneous reports and apprehensions hav- mg heen circulated respecting the continuance of yellow fever at Norfolk and Portsmonth, we are Neased to have the opportunity of quieting them By referring our readers to the official letters of the Mayors of those cities, published in our columns today. We learn from the official report of the City In- spector that there were but 350 deaths in this city @uring the past week, viz.:—67 men, 57 women, 119 Doys and 107 girls. This exhibits a slight increase m the mortality of the week previous. There were 6 deaths of apoplexy, 7 of bronchitis, 40 of consump don, 24 of inflammation of the lungs, 13 of conges, tion of the brani, 5 of diarrhoea, 18 of dropsy in the head, 4 of dysentery, 12 of typhus fever, 6 of heart disease, 4 of inflammation of ‘the brain, 4 of palsy, 34 of convulsions (infantile) | 3 of croup, 7 of debility (infantiley, 25 of wearlet fever, 6 of hooping cough, and 17 of marasmus (infantile). There were also 2 prema- ture births, 9 deaths from violent causes, and 34 eases of stillborn.

We can’t imagine what object aid correepondent can possibly have ia mierepresenting the political movements and intentions of Mr. Lotta. It is likely that the writer complained of, bas been misled by do- diguing persons, and we dare say he can make # sutisfuctory explauation ia rell-defence. The Goal of William H. Seward. The history of the republican party ought to teach Mr Seward what his fate and that of the country will be should he ever succeed in se- curing a triumph for his principles. When the republican movement was first set on foot, William H. Seward occupied the undisputed position of chief of the anti-slavery party in this State; opposition to slavery aud Seward- iem were convertible terms, And though bis affiliations did not, strictly speaking, extend outside of the State of New York, yet still, as the anti-slavery party in the other States occn- pied a comparatively obscare position, and as New York was generally conceded to be the leading State in matters wherein Northern po- liey was involved, Mr. Seward had come to be regarded as the natura) head of the extreme Northern faction, and their inevitable leader in case they were ever enabled to tuke the field. The formation of the republican party remov- ed him from this prominence. By uniting the opponents of slavery in Massachusetts and Ohio with those of New York, he introduced a new set of leaders, none of whom were willing to accept Mr. Seward*as their master. By fusing democrats and whigs, he brought to light aset of anti-slavery democrats, who made a fair partition of power and influence the con- dition of their alliance with the fag ead of whiggery, The consequence was that the republican party was no sooner formed and consolidated by a victory or two, than a astrife for leadership arose, in which it was soon apparent that Mr. Seward had no better claims to the leadership than Chase, of Ohio, or Sumner, of Massa chusetts, or Hale, of New Hampshire. It has so turned out—the republicans having over estimated their strength, and the little agitation caused by the Nebraska law having taded away sooner than they expected —that party has been spared interaal dis- putes in consequence of its integral failure. But had the anti-slavery feeling been as strong now as it was a year ago, a split among the republicans, with Seward at the head of one section and Chase at the head of another, would have been imminent, and the fiercest of all strifes would have been waged between the two. The same thing will occur on a grander scale should Mr. Seward ever succeed in be- coming President or placing a creature of his own in the Presidential chair. Disunion would of course follow, aud the South would at once require, for its own safety and the preservation of its property, to make war upon the Nortb. Slave property would not be worth holding on the northern frontier of the Southern republic without some provision for the recapture of runaway slaves, which the South could not ex- tort from the North except at the close of a suc- ccesful war. But, besides the South, the West would in all probability fall away.’ Diver- gent aud hoastiie interests would spring up between Wisconsin and New York. Ohio.would refuse to be governed by Maseachusetts, and would, in virtue of its superior population, insist upon claiming a preponderance in the councils of the Northern republic, which the smaller States would refuse to concede. 'Bhe wisest thinkers who have written upon the United States have foretold a division between the West and the senboard as even more likely to occur than one between the North and the South. The rivalry that the experience of the republican party has shown us would spring up between the leaders of a Northern republic, would be the entering wedge that would pro- duce the split. In a few years, instead of one, we might have four or five republics, all ani- mated by the bitterest teelings of animosity towards each other, and effectually* neutraliz- ing each other’s progress. We might-indeed, it is rational to suppose we should repeat, for the benefit of the delighted monarchs of Eu- rope—ihe shocking spectacle which was pre- sented in former times by the Greeian, more lately by the middle age lialian, and which is revived in our own day by the South and Con- tral American republics, The New York Central Railroad Tnvestiga. tng Committee. After a year of prodigious labor the inves- tigating committee have finally reported and brought forth—a mouse. They find, what no body doubted, that there has been no over issue of stock or bonds, and that the Treasurer's accounts are correct, All the columns of his ledger are correstly footed, all the moneys he has paid out he can show vouchers for, and al- though he has issued near forty millions of stock and bonds, he has iseaed no more than the law allowed. In short, the commiitee have come to the deliberate conclusion, and boldly and unhesitatingly declare that, in their opin- ion, the Treasurer of the great “Central Rail- road” is not a thief. It is as mach as to aay to the rest of the world, to all other corpora. tions railroad, bank, insurance, &e.—« show us, if you can, a mon like this, a troasurer who has never, in the course of two whole years, either stolen your money or forged your secu. rities.” Will it be contended now (now that one honest man is discovered in the mannge- ment) that the pure and spotless “ groat Cen- tral Railroad shall open its books to second the gambling transactions of Wail street?” Shall its bright honor be tarnished, and its dignity compromired, by allowing itself to ap- pear on the New York Stock Exchange in com- pany with stocks like United States 6's, New York and Pennsylvania 5’s, and other such trash ? . But althongh the committee report the Tron eurer all right, they scomed to have deemed it prudent to remove all temptation as far as pos- sible ayt of hie way for the future, by gathering topether ail theloose blanks left over, and burn- ing them up. This rather detracts from the other- wise “first rate notice” of our worthy Troasuter, Had we been on the committee we shoald have opposed that, Not eo much from the fact that he could get as many more printed as be liked, prociecly similar, at four dollars ream, but beoauee we really and truly believe that Mr. Prayn is neither « thief nor a forger. We go farther. We believe him to be not only an bo- nest man, but a very ellicient and obliging ofM- cer. It is strange that this eagacious commit- tec, after burning up all Mr. Prayn’s blanks, did not go a step further and destroy all the printing material in the country. Such a “check ond guard” as that would traly have rendered it “almost impossible that an over issue of stock should be made without its belag immediately exposed and corrected.” Why the Central management should be so exces sively cautious, aud so much more supicious of their subordinates than other companies, we do not quite understand. Is it ihe consciousness of their own corruption that leads them to treat the rest of the world as thieves and robbers ? The committee dwell with great force and mnuteness upon the discovery in the Treasu- rer’s accounts of an error of twenty cents. They trace it clearly and conclusive from the shoulders of the Treasurer to a bank (whether the President’s Central deposit bank at Alba- ny, or Central deposit bank at Buffalo, they do not state); and they prove, as far as ciroum- stantial evidence can be supposed to prove anything, that the fault was not the Treasa- rer’s, Probably they are corsect. At all eveuts, upon this great point we shall give the comps- ny the benefit of our doubts uotil further aud more direct evidence is produced. It ia upon these two points that the report of this wonderful committee almost exclusively rests, There has been no over issue of stock or bonds, and the accounts of the Treasurer, barr- ing the twenty cents, are correct. Wonderfa) | ‘Was there solitary man in the whole country that suspected or dreamed of a different state of things? We never heard of one. It was well enough, if the officers of the company could not be trusted to oversee these matters, to call in outsiders to see that all was straight, But that such o report—a certiticate of the Treasurer’s honesty—shonld be published iu pamphlet form, and scattered by thousands over the land, accompanied by a grand flourish of trumpets from all the Albany papers and all their little sattelites thronghoat the State, is, to say the least, supremely ridiculous. But while the public feel no anxiety upon these points, there are others—matters of grave and serious import—upon which they are justly alarmed. It is charged that the whole history of the company’s operations, from the initiatory conrolidation steps down to the present day, has been one scene of plunder es a grand scale, by certain parties in and about Albany, Thai the consolidation was brought about by means of an extensive system of bribery and cor- Tuption, in which the Albany papers—the precent defenders and glorifiers of the concera —were large participants, That the editor of one of those journals, for instance, as a portion of his share of the spoils, bad a “call for 1,000 shares of the consolidated stock at par,” and $12,000 of job printing the first three months after the consolidation papers were signed. That another individual, by his monopoly of its hardware trade, banking on its money, purchasing its iron, rolling its iron, manufacturing its axles, etc., clears annually frem $150,000 to $200,000; and that other officers of the company are dealing in elevators, depot grounds, etc, as they find opportunity, sometimes to the tane of $60,000 on a single job. That the more virtuous portion of the directioa is over- ruled and their wishes set at defiance, eve sometimes when in a majority, by the oversia- dowing and all-controlling powers at Albany. That the Central Railroad isa political machine, corrupting aud coxntrolling the Legislature, and fast becoming as potent in our State as the Camden and Amboy monopoly is in New Jer sey. That its money and influence are used without stint in the most unlawful and abomi- nable manuer, That its management is hostile to the State canals, detrimental to pubtic morals, and towards the mass of stockholders deceitful and injurious. We might specify a thousand other abominations charged upon this concern—we have in fact done 60, to a great extent, in another dopartment of the pa- per—any one of which might well have engaged the attention of this august * investi- gating” committee. or Commenctan INTERCOURSE p Unitep Srares ann Arrica—In another column will be found an iaterestiag letter trom Thomas N. Carr, Esq., late United tates Consul at Moroceo, to George Law, on the commerce and Tesources of Africa, aad on the advatitages to be derived from them to this country, The writer shows, from the re- turns of British commerce in that quarter south of the equator, that in 1849 the English merchandise landed upon that part of the coast of Africa amounted to seven millions of dollars, and was there sold or exchanged for cight millions of dollars worth of the most valuable and ealeable productions of the coun- try. This was exclusive of the trade with the north and northwestern coasts, waich alto- gether amounted to at least thirty millions of doliars—to say nothing of the illicit traffic carried on wherever their ships have access, and the value of which may*be estimated at double those suma, Mr, Carr is satisfied that we may come in for our full share of those advantages, provided we go the right way aboutit. The plan which he suggests is the establishment of a line of steamers, which, with its branches, shall traverse the seas upon the western coast of Africa and penetrate the whole length of the Mediterrancan. The uses to which these steamers can be profitably put are, the transportation of free negroes trom the United States to Liberia; the carrying of the mails; the transportation of merchandise; the conveyance of pilgrims to and back from Mecen; the certain and expeditious transpor- tation of the fraits and other perishable pro ducts of the Mediterrancan; and the affordiag of greater facilities to passongera from central Europe to America, whose expenses of travel would be greatly diminished by enbarking at the eouth of France instead of the usual west- ein ports. Mr. Carr states that this project hasreceived the sanction of several of our most eminent statesmen and merchants, and that it now only wants the support of the general goverument to be successfully carried out. We have no doubt that the facts set forth in his communication will arouse the attention of the public to tie sulject, and cause it to be earnestly pressed upon the consideration of Congrese. Inrerxational, Levrees.—If aay well in- formed person were asked what book is looked for at this moment by the American people with the most interest, the anewer would proba- bly be, the new volumes of Macaulay's History of England, The fame of the maa, the success of the former volumes of the work, the high expectations that have been raised, are sure to toake the appearance of the new volumes a marked event. On the other hand, if any opinion ean be formed from the toue of the British prosa, aad the advertieements which are to be found in the leading jouruals of London, the work they are awaiting there with moat anxiety is Preacott’s History of the Reign of (hilip the Second, of Spain. i Both works, as it appears, are te be published simultaneously in America and Daogland. Ia the absence of an international copyright law, these two distinguished men will be deprived of a reward to which they are morally entitled. If Macauloy’s history cucegeds here, half a dozen petty publishers will be sure to publish it with out paying @ cent tothe author, aud if Prescott is favorably received in Eogland, his Philip the Sccovd will be pirated in like mavner and aa equal degree. There igno help for it; they are fair game. If they were shoemakers or batters the law would protect them fiom robbery; they are only men of genius, and they are outlaws. ‘Were it not for the reflections to which this view of the subject gives rise, it would be a watter of congratulation to see this tendency towards furion in the republic of letters, The wider the audience of a writer is extended, and the more intellect is centralized, the nobler and greater are sure to be bis efforts and its product. Suceess in America is already vo rmall consideration to British writera, As the circle of book readers is extended the political divisions between the two countries, aud even the ocean itself, will not hinder the fusion of the literary minds of both iuto one barmonious republic. Steamshipa to Carthagena, New Grenada, The New Grenata Canal and Steam Navigation Com- pany have purchased the a‘camship Osprey. We call at- tention to the advortisement in our colurens for the par- ticulars of her first voyage. It is said taat the business if tho company on the canal and river demands thi- step. Itia alo reported that the company, in the event. of the safe arrival of the two steamers now building by them on the Magdalena river, will be'oompelled to put on ove or two mere vessels in the trade between thia city wnd Carthegona, This new steamship line is of the first importance to the merchants of our city. Itopens a now fleld of opecations, creates frereh demands which they will be called upen to supply, and honce adds to our commer- cial wealth, The commerce cf the Magdalen. la already yearly twenty millions of dollars in value, conststiag of such articles as sugar, tobacco, hides, indigo, dye stuff of all kind, quinine, and in fact, of all the most vain- ablestaples of trade, A Jarge portion of this trade has heretofore gone to England; but now that this compaay hold a connected line of transportation from thia city through the whole of ibis fertile and prolitic valley ta the head waters of the Magdalena, at Honde, the greater part of the trade will come to this city. Greater importance stil is added to this by the fact that by owe ing the canal which unites the navigation of the river with the harbor at Carthagena, the company must command the rich tuato of the valley. Wo published a fow Saya since a letter from the Amori- can Consul, now at Carthagena, in which mention {smade ofthis significant fact in a manner which seemed to indi- eate that its trath is so universally acknowledge) that it might be regarded as settled thing. It is proper also to state that there fs now sont down this river about six millions of gold dust, which now goes to England. It seems to us that the effect of thia linc of vessels will be to bing ‘his dust to New York city instead of Europe. It ia quite evident that it must follow the ordinary chan- nels of trade, and ve subject to itslawa, Auother pro- miso quite a# flattering, is the rapid developement of the mineral resources of the tributaries of the Magdalena river, The connection of this valley by steam with the city of New York will necessarily throw our adveatu- rous people upin it, and we havea right to calculate on © like: al eugmentation of the sum now produced. The Conca, Riv Negro, Meat, &c., &e., are known to be rich in gold washings; and whon brought by our steamships aud steamboats to within fifteen deye of Wall street, we heve every reason to think that the andual prodact will be largely increasod. We eha!! watch the movements in. this direction with no ordinary svlicitude for the falfl- ment of ita bigh promises. We will not andertake, how- ever, to speculate regarding the {uture, as it is far better to draw conciasions from occurrences which have already taken place than to anticipate. Marine Affairs. The steamship Osprey, Caytain Hopkins, for the New Grenada Steam Company, sailed from Philadelphia on Friday, at halt-past 3 o’clock P. M., for New York, where she vill recetve her outfit, stores, &e., preparatory to hier ¢ailing for her destination, Her owners intend to run her on the Magdalena river, the beautiful steamship Quaker City, which recently plied between Philadelphia and Sayannoh, has been pur- chased by a commercial honre in Mobile, for $160,000, and isto sun asa regular packet between that city and New York, under the command of Captain Shufeldt. Both the above steamers are built of the bost materials, and their accommodations and eailing qualities are of the highest order. Their departure from Philadelphia ts much regretted.

The Rockland Gazeite says that an attempt is to be made at the coming ression of Congress to secure an ap- * propriation fur a breakwater in Rockland harbor, to pro- tect the wharvor and rhipping from the effects of easterly storms, which often cause much damage. It having beon contemplated to effect-a change in some of the lighta on the coast of Maing, several of the Muine and St. John papers have thought proper to oppose it on the ground that it wili bo of no advantages, bat, on tho contrary, may mulead mariners, and possibly may be the cause of shipwrecks, The Eastport Sew/inel says, among other thinge:— It bas beon atateg to us by some of our most expe rienced shipmasters and pilots that there 1s danger that the proposed changes 1a the eluracter of the lights on our coart may, in one or two insunces, turn out not to ‘be improvements, but, on the contrary, be an actual in- jury, and havea tendency to mislead the marines.

Fourteen Supervisors were present, and a very sx\!| oatside attendance, the Superviso: of the Twelfth ward, whose ward would have come first in order, not being ia his place when called, Supervisor Bricus, of (he Thirteenth ward, pro- ceeded to riad the returns from the Thirteenth ward, Feveral errors ami divcrepancies appeared, Inthe second dis*riet, in the vote for Sisto Treasurer, 86 votes were given for Allen upon the Suyorvisor’s return smd none upon the County Clerk's, In ‘his district there was also a ciserepancy of 4 votes in the two returns ia the vote for McLecd Murphy for Asrembly, anda difference of 5 votes for Selah for Commissioner of Repaira and Supplies, with a further variation of 7 yotes for Cowles for Jus- tice of the Superior Court.

Supervisor Warmyan next read the returns of the Twelfh ward. The returns of the Pirst divtrict, as read, resented no dierepancies; but the tuspectors had failed c sign the returnin the hands of the County Clerk, A direussion arose n# to the acticn the Board should take in canvaseug she remo, it wax at length determined to wait the decision ofa full Board io the matter. Mean- while tho retuyna of the remaining districts were read through. ‘The only yariation was tn the Second district, where a confusion ef namos and votes occurred in the votes for Judges of the Superior Court, The same was directed to be sent back to the Inspeetors for correc- tion. Tho returns of this ward being completed, Supervisor Ety, of the Seventeenth ward, inquired if the Bupervisor of the Twelfth ward would state to the Board the reasons for the delay in sending the returns of the First district of bis ward to the County Clerk's oflice. The dilatoryness with which the returns from this distrist were made out, or the lapse of time rather from election day to their be- i, filed in the office of the County Clerk, had caused, he said suspicions to be entertained, and intimations to be made that there wax roms clap trap work at the bottom leading to their deferred presentation. If there were any parties reprehensible they should be made known; at least it became those to whom the public must most di- recily look for explanation—ihe Supervisor of the ward ‘and the Inspectors—to exonerate thomselves from blame Supervisor Waxnyan seid he would explain as far as he was able. Firsi, he would remind the Board of what they were alresdy cognizant, that the Inspectors were in- dependent cf the Sypervisor. Ax to the returna in qués- tion bo hed only to esy that the election in that dis- trict was regniarly proceeded with on election day, as in the other districts. The various returns were handed to him, and he suppcred they had all deca bonded in till the Notorcay evening auggceding the election, when several parties called at his house and aked to see the return of the First district, when he dis- covered it wag not {i his possession. He called that evening upon two of the inspectors, Mr. Patrick Major and C. W. Can phell, and found the original return witiz the latter, but not rigned by either of the inspectors. ‘The return was theseupon signed by the two in- spectors named and delivered to him. Mr. Campbell told him that he sent a copy of the return to the Count; Qlerk’s offica the day after the election, and scppeeed t was thore, Further explanation, Supervisor concluded he might perhaps be able to make to the Boarc, when the want of signatnres to the filed im the County Clerk’s office was more fully ing into, aa doub' less would be directed by the Board. Supervisor DRarp, of the Twenty-xecond ward, here Tose to a questirn of privilege. Ho read an editorial from tho Journai of Commerce ot Ubat moratng, under the head of “The Canvass ”’ and pronounced the statements there- in uttered ogainst himself entirely false and grossly malignant.
