As everybody anticipated, the Whig National Convention at Baltimore yesterday endorsed the nominations of Fillmore and Donelson, appointed a National Executive Committee, and adjourned. In the evening a mass ratification meeting was held: and, judging from the accounts we have received, it was a very brilliant affair. The republicans and radical abolitionists closed up their business at Syracuse yesterday. The fol- lowing are their nominations for State officers, to” gether with those of the democratic party:— REPUBLICAN, John A, King, of Queens. 5 Henry R. Selden, of Monroe.

The News. The steamship Asia, which left Liverpool on the th inst., arrived at this port at an early hour yesterday morning, with two days later news from Burope. The intelligence is of an unimportant character. Much financial distress was cansed in Great Britain by the sudden failure of the Royal British Bank, which was established seven years since, and enjoyed many advantageous privileges from the English Board of Trade. A return had been issued by the Board of Trade of the declared values of British and Irish produce and manufac tures exported from the United Kingdom in the year 1855, specifying the amount to each country and colony. The total is £95,688,985, against £97,298,900 in 1854, and £98,933,781 in 1853. On the 5th inst. the Amerizan ship Ocean Home came im collision with the ship Cherubim, off the Lizard, when the former vessel went down, and seventy-seven emigrants were drowned. ‘The Ocean Home was bound to New York from Rotterdam. In Spain the questions of executive reform and a modification of the constitution were to be eubmitted to the new Cortes by the O'Donnell ministry. The Cortes had been dissolved by royal éecree. Cholera was abating at Madeira, after five thousand persons had died. Diplomatic relations between Turkey and Russia had been renewed. The Jeading London journals have very severe articles against the Walker rule in Nicaragua, and in con- @emnation of the policy of the United States govern- ment in officially recognizing his Minister. On the ‘34 of September a revolution broke out in the Prus- sian portion of Switzerland, at Neufchatel, but the royalists had seized the chateau, arrested the Com- mittee of State, and hoisted the Prussian flag, At Chaux de Fonds, and the western portion of the Canton, the people had taken up arms. The Persian Ambassador at Paris was to proceed to London, in order to settle the dispute of the Shab with England, on the condition that Consul Murray be recaliel. The Pasha of Egypt had ordered a new expedition to be organized to ascend the Nile, unier M. le Comte d’Escayrac de Lautare, an experienced African traveller. The French troops had com- pletely evacuated Turkey, and it was said that the army of the Emperor would soon quit Rome, and ‘that the Austrians would retire from the Italian le- gations. France was about to negotiate a commer- cial treaty with Japan. A good deal of anxiety was felt in Burope with regard to the yield of the har- vert. The cotton market assumed increased buoyancy yesterdey after the receipt of the Asia's news, and the sales footed up about 2,000 bales, closing quite firm. The news had a depressing effect upon breadstuffe. Flour declined about 20 cents per barre], with moderate transactions. Wheat de clined about 5 cents per bushel, and corn 1 a 2 cents. Pork was firm. Sales were made on the spot at $20 37) for mess, and 1,000 barrels, deliverable all this month, buyer's option, at $20 25. Sngars were again active and firm, with sales of About 27,000 hogsheads Cuba muscovado, with emall lots Pe Rico, in bond and duty paid, at rates given in another column. Coffee was firm, with sales of about 1,400 bags Rio, and some Java and Maracaibo at fall prices. Grain freights to Liver. ‘pool were firmer, with engagements of 40,000 a 50,000 bushels, in buik and bags, at 84d. a fd. ‘The firet new rice of the season made its appear: ance in the Charleston market on Monday last, and small sample of it was received yesterdsy morning in this city. It is of excellent quality, and speaks well for the new crop generally. It has made its ap- pearance slightly in advance of what was anticipa- ted, bnt still rather later than jast season. ‘The Health Officer yesterday brought to the at- tention of the Commissioners of Health the case of ‘the vessels detained at the Southwest Spit. They have been lying there from thirty days to three months, and are exposed to serious injury. More- over, it is very difficult to procure men to remain on board of them, and it is next to imposmble to dis- charge their cargoes. Ax the vessels have been as thoroughly ventilated as they would have been at sea, the Health Officer is disposed to let them come up to the city. A formal report of the facts in the case will be presented on Monday, when the Board will resume the consideration of the subject. The Harbor Commissioners have completed their survey and soundings in the lower bay of the New York harbor, and are at present engaged in com. pleting the soundings in Harlem river and about Anrigate. Fifteen thousand people awembled yesterday af. ternoon in Morristown, N.J., and held one of the most enthusiastic Fremont meetings of thie cam. paigo.

Coleman, President of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee, was arrested yes- terday at the instigation of James R. Maloney, late of California, who complains that while performing his duty in guarding the State arms, he was seized and finally expelled the State by the Committee, to bis great personal and pecuniary damage. Mr. Coleman, who is now on a temporary visit to this section of the country, was taken before the Supreme Court, and held to answer in the sum of fifty thou- sand dollars. By the arrival at this port of the bark Seneca, Capt. Feinhagen, we have Montevideo dates to the 26th of July. The province was in an unsettled state, as a revolution was daily expected. The News from Europe—The Central Ame- Fican Question. The Asia brings the confirmation of the an- nouncement recently made by us that a projet had been agreed upon between Mr. Dallas and Lord Clarendon for the settlement of the two branches of the Central American question which had been left untouched by the British convention with Honduras. This document is based on the proposals originally made by our government, and from the tenor of an article in the Lon- don Globe, which will be found in another column, it is probable that it will be ratified by our Cabinet without modification. As we have before stated, it places the Mosquito territory under the sovereignty of Nicaragua, with the condition that the natives are to be guaranteed certain rights, and to be treated in all respects like our own Indians, San Juan is also to be constituted a free port, under the guarantees of the contracting Powers. This convention was sent out by the Cambria, and is now in the hands of Mr. Marey. Although the ratification of our government will remove any remaining appre- hension that may exist as to the ultimate settle- ment of the important question which it em- braces, this instrument will net be complete until it receives the assent and concurrence of the Central American States. No doubt need entertained eas to their willingness effect to an arrangement which meolidates their interests and removes from their soil all pretext for foreign interference in their affairs. The only question that remains to be considered in the final conclusion of this matter is as to which of the two aments of Nicaragua is to be treated with for its comple- tion. From the statements which have reached us through our London correspondent it would appear that the decision of the English Cabinet is already taken on this point. When it is as certained that the convention has received the approval of our Executive, General Walker's government will be formally recognized by Eng- land, that is to say if he succeeds in sustaining himself and demolishing Rivas, his opponent. In this Lord Palmerston only consults a neces- Whatever may be his dislike of Walker personally, he cannot, in a joint treaty with this country, raise an issue as to the authority of one of the centracting parties whom our government has seen fit to acknowledge. As frequently happens in political arrange- ments involving transfers of territory, we find objections raised to the British convention with Honduras in a quarter where none were antici- From the letter from the Bay Islands which we published yesterday, it would appear that the inhabitants of Ruatan are exceedingly indignant at being placed under the sovereignty of Honduras—naturally enough feeling that a change from Anglo-Saxon to Spanish rule is not likely to prove beneficial to their interests. At a meeting called by the President of the Legis lative Assembly, to serve as a demonstration in favor of the measures of the government, a fierce opposition was got up by the residents, and an appeal to arms talked of. Amongst the nume- rous suggestions made by the malcontents was one to the effect that, in the event of the colo- ny being evacuated by the British, a delegation should be sent to President Walker soliciting his alliance, and requesting him to despatch a body of his troops to garrison the island. Much as Walker's inclinations may chime in with this tempting offer, there are two reasons why he cannot very conveniently acowpt it. In the first place. he cannot «pare the men; and fn the second, he would hardly venture to disturb an arrangement guaranteed by Great Britain and sanctioned by this country. So the people of Ruatan, notwithstanding the very natural con- tempt which they feel for the power of Hondu- ras and the wisdom of its rule, must resign them- selves to the destiny carved ont for them by the necessities of their late protect Great Bri- tain held on to them as long as lecently could, and she now lete them go, when it is no longer in her power to retain them. be give sity. pated Wasniseton’s Fannwens, Appress.—Read it and look et the sectional geographical dietine- tions of parties raised by the Kansas nigger driv- ing democracy, and put them down, Obey the warning voice of Washington, and rally to Fre PT, WOapeae, J Bou: and Le com ules, Tue Ocroser Exxorions ww Pexwsyivanta— | land and Spain, and that Mexico will be involved | Loss of the American Sty Qoomn Home and Skies Brigut.—Our accounts, public and pri- vate, from the Keystone State, are not only en- couraging, but amount almost to the positive as- surance that Pennsylvania will go against Bu- chanan in October bya stiff majority, and in favor of Fremont in November by an overwhelming popular vote. The late terrible Maine election bas produced a perfect stampede among the For- ney democracy, concerning the safety of Pennsyl- vania. A regular inundation of Southers demo- cratic politicians has accordimgly been poured into the State, to convince the people ‘that the true policy of the Nebraska bill is to make Kan- sas a slave State.at the point ef the bayonet—that free white settlers opposed to slavery have no basiness there, and that if they won’t clear out when ordered to go they must be expelled or ex- terminated. To reduce Pennsylvania to this Jacebin policy of extermination, the Keystone Club of Forney, Sanders & Co., of 141 Chestout street, Philadel- ptia, have, since the Maine electien, been moving heaven and earth, as far as possible, for weeruits to their sinking cause. From the num- ber of outside assistants, alse, that were present at the Philadelphia affair of the 17th, we should say that the democratic alarm concerning Penn- sylvania extends over the whole country. There are named among the Philadelphia democratic speakers of the 17th, Hon. James B. Cley, Ky.; Hon. H. V. Johnsen, Ga.; Hon. Ed. B. Olds, Ohio; Hon. G. R. Riddle, Del.; Hon. N. Clifford, Me.; Hon, Geo. E. Pugh, Ohio; Hon. D. E. Sickles, N. Y.; Hon. P. Phillips, Ala.; Gen. E.R. V. Wright, N. J.; Hon. Howell Cobb, Ga.; Hon. W. E. Pres- ton, Ky.: Hon. E. L. Lowe, Md.; Hon. J. T. Brady, N. Y.; Hon. J. McKeon, N. Y.; Han. W. C. Alexander, N. J.; Hon. R. K. Meade, Va.; E. Riddle, Esq., Mass.; Hon. L. B. Shepard, N. Y. Hon. J. A. Stewart, Md. Conclusive evidence, here, of a general consternation among the rotten democracy in regard to the old Keystone Com- monwealth. Mr. Sickles went over to Philadelphia the other day, expecting to be informed on Wednes- day night, by telegraph, of his nomination to Congress by the democracy of our Third district; | but he will have learned, instead, that on the night in question a number of screws fell through, and that since then Gen. Walbridge has stepped into the field, and is likely to carry all before him. Dreadful, indeed, must be the alarm of Forney when Mr. Sickles feels it necessary at such a crisis in his own affairs to go over to Forney’s re- lief. In fact, there has been nothing for many years past equal to the excessive fright in Penn- sylvania of the rotten “Pieree and Forney demo- eracy. Even Mr. Buchanan, phlegmatic and calm as he generally is, betrays, we are informed, since the Maine election, the incipient symptoms of anxiety, doubt, impatience and alarm. And there is reason for it. The fusion between the Pennsyl- vania American party and the republicans for the October election, is complete and harmonious upon the common ground of hostility to the Jaco- bin democratic policy of expelling the obnoxious Northern settlers of Kansas by fire and sword, to make room for niggers. Thus the prospect is that Pennsylvania is safe and sure against the democracy in October, and Fremont will inevitably sweep the entire North in November, for white men’s constitutional rights in Kansas against niggers, and against Gov. Wise’s increase in the price of niggers. Keep up the fire for white men’s rights in Kansas, against the Cin- cinnati nigger driving democracy and their nig- gers. Hold them to the Nebraska bill and white men’s rights, against the real democratic policy of forcing their niggers into Kansas by fire and sword. The Fremont party is the white man’s party. That will do the work. Make way for Pennsylvania. Evrorgan Prepictioxs—Tax Union on THE Port or Dissoiettion.—The Kansas troublesand the show of revolution created by the social dis- orders in California, have, as will be seen by the letter of our London correspondent, throwa the partisans of despotism in Europe into a frenzy ot delight. They see in them a certain prospect of the dissolution of the Union, and that within the alarmingly brief period of twelve months! The conclusions of these oracles might prove correct were they only drawn from sound premises, If the masees in this country were steeped in igno- rance and misery, like the great majority of the European populations, and if freedom of thought and discussion were chained down by a degrading and soul-destroying deepotiem, such as they are groaning under, the indications to which they point would unquestionably be an evidence of approaching changes in the constitution of Ame- rican society. As, however, we exist under very different conditions from those which regulate the social and political systems of Europe, no possible analogy of results can be anticipated from these popular ebullitions. With us they are rather the excesses of self-government than the invasion of the governing power itself. They can never, therefore, assume any form dangerous to the in- tegrity of the general system. In Europe it is different. There. any demonstration of the popu- lar will is a direct encroachment on the power of the State, based as it is npon oligarchical or ar- bitrary principles, in which the popular interests enjoy but a small share of consideration. This is the reason why Europeans never can arrive at any sound or rational views regarding the polit!- cal movements of this country. They regard events here through the medium of their own tra- ditione and prejudices, and make no allowance for the different constitution of mind which an American receives from the larger and more un- trammelled sphere of action in which he moves. It is no wonder, then, that they should see the Union periodically expiring, from throes the slightest of which would shake a European mo- narchy to its centre. More Troupe ror Mexico,—Some time since we published accounts from Mexico stating that the difficulties between that republic and the Spanish government had been settled by the Spanish Minister, who had made concessions to Pre- sident Comonfort. The last news from Spain in- forms us that when this news reached Madrid the O'Donnell Cabinet worked itself into a high state of indignation. The Minister to Mexico, (Alvarez) has been recalled, and his whole action disavowed by his government: so that matters are put in the same position which they pre- viously oceupied, only that they look a little worse for Mexico. We learned by telegraph yesterday that the British Minister near the Mexican government had had trouble with the Comonfort government. He demanded his pass- ports, and sent a courier to Havana to order the West Indian fleet to Vera Cruz. in order to en- force the compliance of the government with his demands, with the nature of which we are unac* quainted. The present government of Mexico is not popular in Europe: and we soon expect to in an imbroglio which may result in the most sevious consequences. New York Crry Caypmares ror Concress.— Some considerable progress has been made in the party work of candidates for Congress from this great metropolis, The average quality of the article, thus far, is also something better than we have had tor some years past. We speak of the men, without reference to party distinctions. As partizans, the democrats have put up W. Bj Maclay for the Fifth district—a practically ac- ceptable man; John Cochrane, in the Sixth disé trict, another good man, able and capable; Jobn Kelly, in the Fourth district, not a bad represen- tative of the interests of our city; and Elijah Wi the Seventh district, an old and spell campaigner. Among the Know Nothing nominees, Mr. Briggs, who has been a faithful representative heretofore, is probably the only man who will poll an outside vote of any weight. In the Third democratic district there was a dead lock, and Mr. Sickles failed to get in. We think, in fact, that he has fallen through be- tween loose planks of the flooring, and that it is a good thing if it is so. He is one of the most rot- en politicians of the Forney school, and is trading upon borrowed capital, in asseming to have great influence with Mr. Buchanan. We know better ; and have reason to believe that Mr. Buchanan would like to shake him off, and would shake him off if he only had the pluck to do so. Gen. Walbridge, however, we suspect, will take care of Mr. Sickles. Read the General’s card in our advertising columns, proclaiming himself an inde- pendent candidate for Congress for our Third dis- trict. He pursues the right course, and prefers to stand upon his own bottom. He has been a worthy representative of our city heretofore, and his principles are well known. He is open to the support of -all parties, and leaves party couven- tions to éake their own course. He will be doing a good service in superseding the election of such a reckless party hack as Mr. Sickles. Hurry up the cakes. CanxpmarTEs FoR GovERNoR.—The republicans of this State have proclaimed John A. King, of Long Island, their candidate for Governor. He is a highly respectable and competent man; but he made a rather silly speech in accepting the nomination, betraying a snobbish sort of stinking family pride, under which no doubt his more sensible hearers began to smile. The blood of one of the fathers of the constitution runs in his veins. What if it does? What isa man’s blood worth, if his principles and character be good for nothing? And why should Mr. King tell us any- thing about his blood? Don’t we all know who heis? We want a man upon his own merits, and not upon the blood of his ancestors, Otherwise the speech of Mr. King was pretty much to the purpose ; but we should be sorry to think that he has the monopoly of all the patriotic blood in the State. We have now the democratic candidate, Mr. Parker, and the republican candidate, Mr. King, fairly in the field. The rump of the Know No- thing party will probably nominate one of the Brookses; and then we shall see what is tobe done, and where the railroad monopoly and other pe § nicious local influences are most actively at work.

There is note a rod of the waters of the lower bay of New York that has not been minutely sounded, and the mean low water mark 4 ‘eo an with full different shoals marking the . The most important developement of the ew soun bas been the discovery of wen’s ehoal, designated, a little over # mile novthwest from Fort Hamilion, and pearly a mile sbutheast from Staten Island 3 . This shoal, now definitely marked, is eighteen feet below low water. It has always been a doubtful point, and it severs! vessels have been 7 . of naviga- tion being ever entirely Impede through tbe channel. The Oiispot, as it is called, abreast Sandy Hook, is found to be shifting still, alteraating to the northwara and southward. The Newport bar remains the same, with like shifting to the north and soath with the Oiispot. ‘The total sound! bout Madame De Wilhorst’s Concert. ‘The ‘ashionable world was out last evening in ful! force, at Niblo’s, to assist at the debut of Madame De Wilborst as aconcert singer. This young lady—the daughter of ihe cashier of one of the largest banking institutions in Wall street—has been for several years the centre of a large circle of friends, and an ornament of our best society. Her musical talents bave been a subject of general remark, es well as the admiration of our principal dite tanti. Having found herself suddenly disappointed io some of the expectations which youth and position nata- rally encouraged, she has devermined firmly not to yield to the disappointments of life, and has presented berselt to the patronage of the public. She was received with the greatest applause. Her ap- pearance an! manner at once prepossessed the audience in her favor, and though for a moment affected by ber ‘Warm reception, she soon recovered and carried herself charmingly throagh her songs, Her ‘voice js a bigh soprano, reaching with great ease to C flat aboyo the staf, It is of a sweet tone, without break, and ing more than ordinary power. Her thrille were very neatly given, and her sostenuto passages exceedingly |ine. In these and some of her diminuendos she reminded us much of Jenny lind. Her rendition of the cavatins ‘and the ‘Brindisi’ were greatly admired. In short, she had, in the opinion of all present, a complete success, and was frequently encored. Brignoli and Amodio sang ‘with their usual skill, and the Senor Vilanova performed very acceptably on a French harmovium. But Madame De Wilborst was the attraction of the evening. In adopting the profession of music, Mad. De W. bas only followed many interesting examples. Piccolomini, a lady by birth, belonging to one of the {iret tamilies in Tuscany, bas not hesitated also to avail herself of her marvellyus talent as @ means of support, and has thrown new charms around an art which is the delight and grace of refined society. We understand that the fair cantatrice, Ye Wil- horst, bas resolved to rely upon her talents to secure her independence, and her numerous friends and admirers approve of ber spirit and resolution. No conventionalism need for a moment interfere with her intentions. What ever private reasons may have urged her to this course, and though ber position or prospects in life once offered ber a different career, she has preferred to make her way im the world for herself, and ina career which though new to her, we doubt not, will be successful. Her youth, her beauty and her talents give her immense advan- tages, and with careful study she may aspire to the firat rank in her new position.
