We have Liverpool advices to the 27th ultimo, brought by the steamer Canadian, which arrived at Quebec yesterday. The news is uncommonly dull and umfteresting. The reports relative to the ill- ness of Louis Napoleon are reiterated by French let- ter writers. From Spain there is nothing definite as to the designs of tbe new government. A decree suppressing the National Guard, was to be promul- gated shortly. The bread riots had ceased and the cholera had declined at Lisbon. The grape harvest in Portugal would prove a complete failure. The arrival of a French fleet in the Tagns had ereat- ed some seusation. From Italy there were reports that the King of Naples, by advice of Aus- tria, had declined to submit to a European Copgress the differences between himself and the Western Powers. There were rumors of an outbresk at Pa- Jermo, There bad been but little change in mone- tary and commercial pilairs at Liverpool. Consois on the 26th were quoted at 05; a 964. Breadstuifs had improved in demand, bat prices remained with- out qnotable change, Cotton was firm. The Ara. bia arrived safely at Liverpool on the 25th. The wteamer that would take her place in the Cunard line is now due at Halifax, with news to the 30th ultimo. We have news from Galveston, Texas, to the 30th ult, The drought continued throughout the State. Drinking water was failing and cattle dying. Gov. Pease onthe 234 yetoed the bill confirming cer tain land titles west of the Nueces —the old Spanisu claims reported by the investigating board. The bill confirmed titles to nize hundred thoasand a>res. There was no doubt but that the Legislatare would sustain the veto. Liberal appropriations have been made by the Legislatare for the improvement of rivers, and $10,000 for an asylum for the blind. At Indianola new cotton was coming in freely, and the crop promired to be a fair one, notwithstanding the @rought. Large deposits of cval had been discover- ed on the Yegua river. Respecting the recent elec- tion, the Houston Tiegraph says Chief Justice Hemphill hae been re-elected without opposition. Associate Justices Wheeler and Lipscomb have also been re-elected—both being far abead of Gen. Jen- sings. In nearly every county inthe State demo- and county officera have been elected Our correspondent at Philadelphia writes that the vestry of the Church of the Bpiphany, in that city, of which the Rev. Daley Tyng ts rector, held a Meeting on the evening of the 2d inst , aud requested him to resign the pastorship, which he incontineatly refused to do, at the same time expressing a wish to take the vote of the congregation on the question, believing that he would be sustained by a majority, Jt is said that not more than fifty persons attended the church on Sunday last, ond those few were prin- cipally ladies. The Doctor, it will be recollected, has recently indulged himeelf in freely expressing his political predilections in the pulpit. Roth branches of the Common Council were in Session yesterday afternoon, but the desire of the democratic members to participate in the political demonstration last evening led to an early adjourn. ment. The request of the Chamber of Commerce, that the offer of the Dudley Observatory, to furnish correct astronomical time, be accepted, was referred to the Committee on Arts and Sciences of the Board of Aldermen. Inthe Board of Councilmen, a com- Munication was received from the Street Commis- sioner asking for $3,325 to make up deficiencies in the extimates of the cost of regulating and grading Fourty-fourth street, between First and Third ave- ner. Arguments for and against the proposed extension of Reade and Henry streets were made yesterday before the committees of the Common Council having those subjects in charge. See our reports elsewhere. The Grand Jury of the Court of General Sessions were yesterday discharged from farther service. ‘The Jury, in a presentment to the Court, fully sus tain the emigrant depot at CasUe Garden, and re- commend it to the fostering care of the municipal authorities. They have dismissed the complaints preferred against certain employes of the Emigrant Commissioners, satisfied that the charges preferred have had their origin in a design to disturb rather than further the work of the establishment. ‘The Committee on Repairs and Supplies, of the Board of Councilmen, met in the Council chamber yesterday afternoon. The subject before them was in relation to the new City Hall. Ira Backman, Jr., presented and explained his plan for the building. ‘The Committee, without any action on the plan, ad- journed to meet again to-morrow, at 3 P. M., for its further considera Capt. Wm. J. Ly of the Nicaragua service, who plead guilty to the charge of assaulting Mr. J. L. Smith, was yesterday sentenced in the Court of Special Sessions to thirty days confinement in the City Prison. In the case of Mr. John Waiters, who ‘was implicated in the trai suspended by the Court. The cotton market was firmer yesterday and more active. The sales embraced about 25000 3,000 bales, baged upon middling uplands at about 11fe., Mobile do. at 1jc., aud New Orlevns do. ax about 120, Flour advanced about 100. per bbi., es pecially on medium grades.

Pork closed firmer, and meas sold at $1960 «$19 62}. Sugars advanced jc. on lower refining grades, and jc. on good to fine grades. The sales reached about 2,300 ‘bhds., at prices given in another column. Coffee ‘was steady, with sales of all kinds of about 2,000 a 8,000 bags. The stocks are referred to in Mr. Scott's weekly circular, in another place. Freights—be- | yond grain, at 8d. to Liverpool, ad 8}d. to London, there was not much offering. The Maine Election—Progress of the Great Revolution—Clear the Track! “They who sow the wind shall reap the whirl- wind.” The people are awake—the people are at work, and we are in the midst of a great and glorious popular revolution. Qur returns from the Maine election are decisive, magnificent and overwhelming. In connection with Jowa and Vermont, they show that this great Fremont movement gathers strength as it goes, like a tor- nado, and that it is destined to sweep the entire North in November, from Portland to San Fran- cisco. This grand result in Maine inspires the constantly inereasing legions of the Fremont par- ty with the prestige of victory; it extinguishes the affected confidence and cool complacency of the Buchanan politicians at a blow, and it prac- tically leaves Mr. Fillmore in the exact position of Captain Tyler in 1844. Upon the democratic and Know Nothing wig- wams and lodges of this city the news from Maine fell like the morning sun upon Jonah’s gourd—it blighted and withered up their delusive hopes and calculations in a single hour, The great torchlight procession of the Empire Club, which it was hoped would be enlivened by a little de- mocratic music from the Kennebec, moved last night, in its line of march, like fhe funeral pro- cession of Tammany Hall and the defunct raf fian and spoils democracy. It only needed the visible presence of Pierce, Jeff. Davis, Atchison, Stringfellow, Buchanan and Forney to make the pageant complete. The following figures of this Maine election, and of the late elections in Iowa and Vermont, as compared with the results of those of 1852, (State elections.) and those of last year, taken altogether, will show something of the tremen- dous pressure of this movement in the North to crush out this demoralized, nigger driving, treacherous, bloody and debauched democratic dynasty of Pierce, Jeff. Davis, Buchanan and Forney. Here are the figures:— MAIN STATE RLECTIONS. Dem. vote 45,804 Whig 29,9 Republican ey Racedsauate ity from A2to 15,000 VERMONT STATE ELECTIONS. Dem. yote 14.938 Whig 15,027 KN, 24,743 Rep. 40,709 These figures show the violent death of the old whig party, the sudden uprising of the Jack- o'lantern Know Nothing party, the demora- lization and disintegration of the rotten Pierce and Forney democracy, and the power- ful concentration of the people of the North into the new republican party, since the nomination of Fremont, upon the broad and comprehensive platform of the constitution, State ts, and free States of free Territories, espe- cially Kansas, and a new order of things at Wash- ington, out and out. Before this practical Fremont morement we perceive, from the above election records, that Know Nothingism disappears like a morning fog. Witb the collapse of the oid whig party and the demoralization of the de- mocracy by this Pierce administration, a vast amount of political debris was thrown adrift, and much ef it sought a temporary lodgment in the novel ark of Know Nothingism; but it was a erezy craft, and tumbled to pieces with the first water. th, #0 in the South has this Know i he-w kered out before proctical tests of this Py ate Siate election >a Southern Arkansas and M favor of Bi nd the ntgger driving democracy, which, if pot as enthusi as the oppos n Northern movement, promises as decisively the solid vote of the South upon one Presidential ticket. The very States in the outh upon which Mr. Fil rely in any contingency, bave been the first to devert him; and he is, for all practical purposes in thir contest, ag clearly out of the question as Captain Tyler. The paramount i in this canvass is, shall Kansas be a free State?—as it will inevitably be, if the bayonet and burning policy of Jeff. Davis, Pierce and the border ruffians is suppressed; or shall I # be a slave State, even if to make it © it shall require the slaughter or expulsion of every free white settler in the Territory? Upon this iseue there is no room for a man carrying Water upon both shoulders, like Mr. Fillmore—no room, North or South; and if he is not with- drawn he will be thrown off the track or crashed to atoms under the locomotive. The Maine elec- tion is Imt the premonitory whistle of the ap- proaching train around the curve of the White Mountains. Clear the track! Think of a democratic plurality of over six thousand in the Maire State Presidential test election of 1 revolutionized to an opposition majority of from twelve to fifteen thousand in the State Presidential test election of 1856! Theee State elections, immediately preceding the Presidential election, very seldom fail to guide us correctly. The party generally succeeding in the State elections invariably not only car- ries the same States in the Presidential election, but carries them with largely in- creased majorities, and other States besides. Thus, too, the State elections operate upon each other: ond the ball, from State to State, goes irresistibly rolling on, with an increased mo mentum at every bound, jnst ae a great rock, de- tached from a mountain top, increases in speed rth with every bound as it goes rushing and crashing downward to the open plain. In this view, from the impulse of Iowa, Vermont and Maine, we shall not in the least be surprised to see Pennsylvania crushing down upon the raf- fian and spoils democracy in October like an ava- and streng Janche; nor will anything short of seventy-five thousand Fremont majority astonish us as the October result in Ohio. Where, in the culmination of this grand popu- lar Fremont mover for the Union, State rights, Territorial rights, international good faith, and for the return of the government to the land- marks of the fathers of the Constitution—whe in the success of this grand movement for the liberty of white men, North and South, and for free white men’s constitutional rights in our free Territories—where shall we find these old line whigs, old line silver grays, and ol line party hucketers and sordid hacks who have taken the back track? We shall find them among the wrecks and rubbish along the shore, high and dry. There. too, we shall be content to leave them; for We ove la the midst of a glorious and victorious popular revolution, and we are tor it and with it to the end. Read the news from Maine; and remember that Maine is an old democratic State, almost as tried end trusty heretofore as New Hampshire, Now, like New Hampshire, she is completely revolu- tonized. It is a perfect democratic rout—a re- gular Waterloo operation. The democrats had made the concession of four out of six candidates to Congress to the old line whigs, as a gull-trap to catch noodles with; but the trick was a dead failure, and old line whigs, deluded Know Nothings and democrats have all gone down together. There is not margin enough in the interval to the October elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio to explain away this crushing democratic defeat. {t will tell upon Pennsylvania and Ohio more than all the electioneering documents of the last six months. Hamlin, till lately, belonged to the emocratic party. What of that? So did Fre- mont, and so with thousands upon thousands of his supporters. It only makes the matter worse and worse for Buchanan, Read the news from Maine. Clear the track ! Moentcrrat. Poxrrres—The republicans have very quietly held their primary elections, and without much trouble, elected the city delegation to the State Convention, which is to be held at Syracuse on the seventeenth of this month, there to nominate candidates for Governor and State officers, It seems that the majority of the dele- gates are in favor of Simeon Draper for Gov- ernor. E. D. Morgan has a few, and Philosopher Greeley the least of all. We suspect that there has been a good deal of outside effort, and some paid advertising, to make capital for Draper. We observed that nearly every Sunday paper of this week had a five or ten dollar puif, setting forth the eminent virtues of Sim. Draper, and commending him heartily as the very best man to receive the republican nomination. Greeley’s cold water propensities will hurt Aim in the city; andin the country, where party vegetationisrather rank, little villany prevails to » great extent. On the democratic side matters are quiet since the tremendous Waterloo defeat which Mayor Wood, like another Wellington, gave to the Cus- tom House cohorts. Their primary meetings for the selection of delegates to the nominating conven- ions to name candidates for the city and county offices, are appointed to be hed in the several wards to-morrow, between the hours of four and seven o'clock in the afternoon. A heated term may be expected; but it is possible that the police foree may be so distributed as to prevent the combatants from tearing each other to pieces, This is to be regretted; for it would be a species of even-handed justice were the two factions of the democracy to demolish each other, thus anti- cipating the courts of justice and the penitentia- ry. There area great many returned patriots from California now here ; they have come since the Vigilance Committee made New York a sort of Botany Bay, and will probably engage in the primaries. There will be great times to-morrow ; but, according io all appearances, the Corporation party, headed by Mayor Wood and the police, with the spoils of seven millions per annum, will utterly rout the Custom House party, which only has two or three millions of spoils It is said that there will be two sets of delegates and two sets of nominating conven- tions chosen, and that the ancient Sachems of Tammany—a species of hermaphrodite cross be- tween old fogies and old women—will be called upon to decide which is which. The remains of the Know Nothings are very quiet; we hear little or nothing about them. Now | and then they manage to kick up a fuss about Fillmore; but we are inclined to think that the party will vanish iuto thin air long before the day of election. Mn. Beewanax on New York Democnacy.— | We understand that the calm repose which Mr. Buchanan usually enjoys at Wheatland has been frequently disturbed during the past few weeks by the visits of diplomatic missionaries from New York, who wish to ascertain his opinions, or to influence his views, in regard to aflairs here, and to procure for the faithful of each section a bit of the real cross or a small patch of the holy breeches. We would advise our democratic friends not to trouble the slumbers of the Sage of Wheatland. We will save them the futigue of the pilgrimage. We are perfectly well in- formed as to Mr. Buchanan's opinions on this eubject, from conversations we have had with him while he was pursuing his diplomatic ca- reer in Europe, and we will now give their re- sult, for the benefit of the faithful of both see- tions. During a conversation with the Sage of Wheatland in London, one day. with reference to the bed management of Mr. Pierce in relation to the New York appointments, Mr. Buchanan sai “Mr. Pierce, I fear, has fallen into the same er- ror that Mr. Polk did. The New York democra- cy are very troublesome patriots. The only way to treat them is to ascertain which faction is the strongest, the most popular and the most ta- lented. This done, the next step isto give the whole of the offices to this faction, and none to the other. The consequence will be that the faction which bas all the offices will be your true, constant, devoted friends, while that which has none, will be your most bitter and unrelenting enemies, But in les than three months you will find that the rank and file, who always go where the offices are given, will turn in to the success ful party, and the leaders of the adverse faction will be feft without any troops.” Without doubt Mr. Buchanan's sentiments upon this eubject are the same at this day; and if elect- ed, he will undoubtedly pursue the line of policy which he recommended to Polk and Pierce. They paid no attention to it, however, and by attempt- ing to compromise between the factions only made matters worse, Another point: Several politicians of both factions are endeavoring to get up a claim to Mr. Buchanan's exclusive confidence, now and here- after. For instance, the friends of Mr. Sickles are putting him forward as the candidate for Congres# in the Third district, who is favored ex- clusively by Mr. Buchanan, in opposition to Gen. Walbridge, who intends to ran; and it is said that this movement has the coguizance of the Sage of Wheatland. We are very sure that there is no truth in this story. Mr. Buchanan has other fish to fry, which will prevent bim from taking sides in any local quarrels just at the present time. Tar New Yors Poet Orrice,—We understand that the Postmaster General, Mr. Campbell, is ex- amining the several sites designated for the new Post Office in this city, and looking over the se- veral applications and recommendations put in by land speculators and others, anxious to get a dash at the public funds. Five or six sites have ben offered to the Postmaster General—the pre- sent location of the Poet Office, the Brick Chureh, Burton’s old theatre in Chambers street, a lot in Tludeon square, and another in Canal street. We Jeayn that @ Dumber of promincnt democrats are Sovrnern Fremont Movements.—The general movement which we indicated some time ago would soon be made for a Fremont electoral ticket in every Southern State, is going ahead. Already he has an electoral ticket in Kentucky, an electoral ticket in Virginia, and one in Mary- land; and why not in every other Southern State excepting South Carolina, where the Legislature takes the place of the electoral ticket? The life, the education, the associa- the antecedents of Fremont, long to the South. of honor presented him by South Carolina but a few short years ago; and he is the same Fre- mont now that he was then, except that he is op- posed to the democratic Pierce-Buchanan policy of making Kansas a slave State by foree of arms, murder, arson, confiscation aud robbery. In every other respect the people of the South, with the people of the North, may safely unite upon Fremont—it is only his opposition to the horrible democratic ruffian policy of making Kansas a slave State that renders Colonel Fre- mont less a Southern man than Buchanan. In everything else he isa better Southern man, as he isa better Northern man and a better Union man, than Buchanan. He is sound and clear of barnacles, fresh from the people, and free from the clutches of spoilsmen, old hacks, old fogies, secessionists and abolitionists, is the conservative Northern masses of Union men that are carrying him on; and why, then, should he not run as well among the Union men of the South? Give bim a trial, and they will Somernina Must pe Doxe.—It is now reduced to a dead ceriainty that Buchanan and Fillmore stand in each other's way, aud that the plat- form they occupy Las become too narrow and shackling to hold both of them. chanan is an anfiable and accommodating old man; but he didn’t want to run, He wanted to retire to Wheatland and write a book on his * Life and Times,” like Senator Benton.

This old line whig gathering will be a worthy rival, in moral and political influence, of the women’s rights petticoat assemblages at Worcester in Maseachusetts. Wonder if old Mother Lucretia Mott will be present at Baltimore! She would be useful in soothing down the dreadful alarms of the sisterhood in breeches, concerning the safety of the ship in this rough weather, Oh! the aw- ful state of things about us, if we are to believe the manifestoes of those old granny old line whigs! Choate, Winthrop, Rives, Granger, Bar- nard, Pearce, Pratt, Jones and Benjamin, Puri- tans, Gentiles and Israelites, each aspiring to a red flannel petticoat, have each and all of them warned us that we are standing upon the verge of a deep abyss, upon the brink of a cataract, upon the brow of a precipice, and that a yawn- ing chasm, with an awful smell of sulphur, is opening at our feet, ready to swallow us up, bo- dy and breeches, big and little, one and all. Our impression isthat these highly respectable old ladiesin pantaloons have passed their final tran- sition state, and will soon be petrified into poli- tical fossils and laid upon the shelf among other geological curiosities of this wonderful age. We hope, however, that the good people of Baltimore will take care of these highly re- epectable old ladies in breeches of this old line Whig Convention—wrap them up in flannel care- fully, and bathe their feet at night in warm wa- ter, with a little mustard in it, if they should get the slightest symptoms of a cold from any sud- den change in the weather. We think there ought to be another general convention of the Kuow Nothings; for it seems that their Philadelphia bantling is but an old line whig changeling ; and if the very respectable old line whig midwives should claim him at Baltimore, “Sam” will be cheated out of his adopted heir. Have the flan- nel, and the warm water, and the gruel, and the paregoric ready for these infirm old wemen old line whigs when they shall arrive in Baltimore, after their hard jostling in the cars, Beware, too, of the night air of September, and have them well covered up if they go out after dark. BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, From Wi THE NEW YORE MAYORALTY—TROUSLE IN THE DE- WaAsiinaron, Sept. 9, 1856. Jefferson Davis, the Secretary of War, has just been on to New York. He was called there to settle the diifer- ences in the democratic party which had grown up, and ‘were assuming a threatening aspect, between the belii- gerent factions on the question of the Mayoralty. Tne leaders of the democratic party had become alarmed at the virulence which was existing between the Cus- tom House and the Corporation in relation to the candi- date for Mayor, and they wrote to the President, asking him to exercise his influence to quell the factious spirit which was rising. Jef. Davis, in company with the Postmaster, was accordingly deputed to heal the diffi- culties, and they have so far accomp ished their task as to be able to report that there will be no split im the party until after the election. Since the commencement of the Presidential campaign the republican press of this city has issued four millions ot documents, ‘including 200,000 copies of Sumaer’s *peech, or forty millions of pages. About one-halt of this number bave been distribuied through the Washing- ton Republican Aggociation, and the remainder by mem- bers of Congress, ‘The National Democratic Executive Committee is now cxter sively engaged in a similar work—sending off, it is said, £0,000 documents a day. The American party, too, is not idle in that line of business. The pamphlet entitled “The Killing of Thomas Keat. ing,’ and for publishing which Mesars. Bell & Blan chard have been sued for libel, by Mr. Hoover, the United States Marshal for this dietrict, was written by Mr. Geo, W, Weston, of Maine, ‘The Next Steamship at Halifax, &c. Hativax, Sept. 9—Noon, A Cunard steamer is now ten days out from Liverpool for this port, and may be considered about due. The Arabia ought to be the vessel, according to programme; but as she was doubtless taken into dock on her arrival in Liverpool to repair the damage sustained in ber recent aceident, the presumption is thatthe Cambria ur some other unemployed vessel of the line has been substituted. The steamship Osprey, at this port from St. Johns, Newfoundland, on Wednesday last, reports that the pio- neer of the new line between Liverpeo! and that port had not been heard of when the Osprey left, although then presumed tobe eleven days out. Movements of John C. Breckinridge. Vurtaperrina, Sept. 9, 1856. The Hon. John ©. Breckinridge did not arrive here this evening, a8 was expected, having stopped at Princeton to call on Mr, Buchanan. The democrats are making great preparations for his reception. Both he and the Hon. Rufus Choate will speak at the democratic meeting to be held here on the 17th inst. American Mass Mecting at Pittsburg. Pirrsnvr, Pa , Sept. 9, 1858. There was « large American mass meeting and proces. sion here this evening. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. French, Evans, and others. Rhode Island Fillmore Convention. Provinence, R. L., Sept. 9, 1856. At the Fillmore Convention at Newport to-day eighteen out of the thirty one towns were represented, Will!am Sprogue, of Warwick; Orray Taft, of Providence; Heary Y. Cranston, of Newport, and Daniel Rodman, of South Kingeton, were nominated as electors of President and Vice President. The New Steamship Adriatic. Boston, Sept, 9, 1856, Mr. E. K. Collins, in answer to an jnvitation from nu merous merchants of this city, promises that if time will allow he wiil make a visit to Boston with the new steam ebip Adriatic, before she sails for Liverpool, in October next. Sentence of a Mail Robber. Wimrsoton, Del., Sept. 9, 1856. Gee. M. Townsend pleaded guilty, this morning, in the United States District Court, to the charge of robbing the Post office in this city, in August, 1855. He made a long appeal to the mercy of the Court, ceclaring that he hol been led away by evil companions, and promised refor mation if mercy was accorded him. Judge Hall sen- tenced him to two years’ hard labor—the lowest term for the offence, Serious Fire in Pennsylvania. Covvwera, Pa., Sept. 9, 1856. A serious fire is raging opposite the town of Wrights- vilie, destroying the lumber yards alongside the river. The Columbia fremen have goue to their neighbors to ask as- sistance. Fire in Philadelphia, Prmtapecema, Sept. 9, 1966. Dickson's cotton mill, in the Twenty-third ward, was burned this evening.

Ata land- ing in Lancaster,county, Va., the boat took on board about a hundred negroes, purchasea by Southern planters and others trom the Cabell estate. The individual alluded to, eee meee. Sk whose name we have been upabie to jearn, soon began to express his tocendiary sentiments, both to negroes and whites, using the most violent language in regard to the institution of slavery. When the boat reached Tappahannock, where the man proposed to stop, he was told that information of his con- duet would be commupicaied to the people on shore, when he would bave to look out for himself. On hearing this he beceme alarmed, und refused to get off, where- upon he was taken and put out on the wharf by force, narrowly escapiog 4 duckiny in his rapid transit.
