The steamship Illinois arrived at this port yester- day with two weeks’ pews from California and later intelligence from Nicaragua, New Granada, the Sandwich Islands and the South Pacific. The dates from San Francisco are up to the Sth inst. Affairs had resumed their wonted quiet. The enly excitement in the public mind was that inci- dental to the Presidential canvass, The Vigilance @ommittee rooms had been thrown open, and eli- «ited a great deal of curiosity. Thousands of per- sons visited the quarters of the Committee during ‘the three or four days the rooms were open for in- spection, and every nook and corner were minutely examined. Mining, the great leading interest of the State, was represented, as a general thing, in a pros- perous condition, and all other branches of business were apparently healthy and profitable. The Illi- nois brought $1,867,148 in treasure, which evi- dences better than words the prosperous con dition and onward progress of the State. By the way of Panama we have news from Granada (Nicaragua) to the 30th ult. It was re- ported that President Walker had executed a num- ber of his officers and soldiers for insubordination. The city of Leon was entirely given up to the in- vading army of San Salvador and Guatemala. A good deal of sickness existed amongst their troops. Dr. Livingston had been transferred to San Salva- dor, after a term of imprisonment. A sort of mili- tary anarchy prevailed all over the republic. A number of government decrees are published. They are for the regulation of the payment of the debts of the Nicaraguan republic; the acquisition of real estate by foreigners; the taking by the receiver of the State of the property of the Accessory Transit Company, and the opening of a property record over the territory. The British naval force was still at San Juan. We have files from Aspiuwall and Panama, (New Granada,) tothe 10th inst. The Legislature had erganved at Panama, but a good deal of political agitation still existed on the Isthmus. The Presi- dential contest had not been terminated. The pro- cesa of manefacturing alien voters was carried on with a celerity that would astonish the patriots at Old Tammany. A mild fever, which had prevailed at Aspinwall, waa abating. A Liverpool ‘steamer was expected by way of Kingston, Jamaica. The British frigate, Imperieuse, had sailed for San Juan. At the conclusion of the counting of votes for Governor, at Panama, 1). Calvo, the conserva'ive candidate, was publicly announced as having receiv- ed a majority of five thousand votes. We have news from the Sandwich Islands dated at Honolulu on 26th of July. The King and Queen had returned to the capi'al from a visit to the coun” try, and her Majesty was somewhat indisposed from fatigue. Tenders for loans to the government on the faith of Exchequer bills were invited. An iron schooner, which was in the port of Honolalu for sale, attracted much attention, The Fire Department was to be reorganized. The members of the royal family had attended a ball given by the German Club of Honolulu. Trade was very duil at the islands. From the South Pacific we have advices dated at Valparaiso, 15th ult. The intelligence from Chile is unimportant. It was said that there would soon be achange in the Cabinet. Measures of finance and popular education engaged the attention of the Legislature. The crops promised a good yield. The report of the organization of an expedition against Peru is contradicted. Yellow fever was raging in Bolivia. An attempt had been made in Pern to overthrow the President of the republic, but the miMtary insurgents were put down. Elsewhere will be found a full account of a gigan- tic frand lately practised upon the stockholders of the Northern Railway of France, by their cashiers, Charles Carpentier and Louis Grelet, and the arrest of the latter in this city by the detective police. The accused parties fled to this country, but were closely followed both by the London and Paris police. The prisoner admitted his guilt, and said he disposed of the stock embezzled to a broker, named August Parot, who was also arrested and locked up with Grelet. Carpentier has not yet been arrested, bat the police are on his track. About $1,000,000 worth of shares were dispoacd of by these financiers. There is but little prospect of recovering much of the em- bezzied funds, as Carpentier and Grelet squandered it away ix the most foolish manner. According to the report of the City Inspector, the deaths in the city |ast week reached 431—a de:rease of 30s compared with the week previous. The improvement is attributable to the diminution of cases of diseases of the stomach and other digestive organs. Three cares of yellow fever are reported. They occurred in the Fomth ward. In other re- spects the weekly statement exhibits no feature of special importance. The following shows the mor- tality of last week as compared with the week pre vious :— Broadway. opposite Bond st Twick Kite. NegRo Mexopies, Dances BELLS. Men, Women. Bows.

The annexed statement of the mor. tality during that period, compared with the num- ber of deaths during similar periods in the two pre- vious years, gives the following reaulta:— Firat 6 months, ending June, 1854 Do. do 1851 Do. do. 186: Last 3 months, ending Sept., 186 Do. do. 1 Do. do, 185 + 6,083 From the foregoing it will be seen that the num ber of deaths for the thirteen weeks just ended compares very favorably with either of the two pre- ceding years. The weekly mortality has been stea- dily decreasing since the week ending the 16th of Angust,and a continuance of the decline may be reasonably anticipated. ‘The annexed table shows the temperature of the atmosphere during the past week, the range of the barometer, the variations of the wind currents, and the state of the weather at three periods during each day, viz:—at 9 A.M.,and 3 and 9 o'clock P.M. air 3P.M. 9P.) e lai rae ay, > pede.

A building used for manufacturing percussion caps, packing boxes, and for other purposes, Nos. 213 and 215 West Thirty-sixth street, together with its contents, was entirely consumed by fire yester- day afternoon. One man employed in the building was killed, and another was so severely injured that his recovery is considered doubtful. Under the telegraphic head we give some addi- tional particulars of the recent catastrophe on Lake Michigan. Sixty-six persons perished by the disas- ter—among the nnmber Hon. J. B, Macy, ef Fon du Lac. The cotton market continued quite firm yester- day, with sales of 800 a 1,000 bales, based chiefly upon middling uplands, at 12jc.a 12}c. Our figures in yesterdsy’s edition regarding sales should have read 800 bales, and not “8,000,” The private ad- vices by the Canada were favorable for breadstuffs, and imparted great buoyancy for export end home use at an advance of 10c.a20c. per bbl. Wheat was also firm, with free sales at higher prices for choice prime to choice lots. Corn sold largely, both on the spot and to arrive, and chiefly at 66c. a 67c. for sound mixed. Mess pork sold at $26 12} a $2025. Su gars were active and firm, with sales at full prices. Coffee was unchanged, while sales were to a mode- rate extent. Freights to English ports were easier for grain, while to the Continent they were un- changed. ieee ee The Adminisiration and the Bloody Code of Kansas=What ts the Prospect? When Shem and Japhet, the two sons of Noah, discovered their venerable governor lying drunk and naked in the open air, they approached him with averted faces and covered him with a mantle, that his shame might not be seen. It was anact of filial modesty andaffection which, in all sabsequent ages, has excited the highest praise. So. too, while we believed the revolting border raffianism which followed the Territorial organi- zation of Kansas ¢9 be the result simply of the bewildered imbecility of poor Mr. Pierce, we were willing to cover it over withthe mantle of charity, that the world might not know of the disgrace into which he was bringfag our popular institutions. But upon subsequent revelations, when re- ports of Congressional investigating committees, Executive messages, Executive instructions, and the proceedings of the nigger driving democracy in Congress established the fact that our charity was misplaced—that what we had considered to be the result of vacillating cowardice and shuf- fling imbecility, were, in truth, the consequences of a deliberate plot of forcing slavery into Kansas by fire and sword—forbearance ceased to be a vir- tue. From that moment we have felt it our daty to expose this monstrous conspiracy against the constitution and popular rights in its naked de- formity, and have regarded all attempts to whitewash the conjoint proceedings of the ad- ministration and the border ruffiaas in this blooly business, as but thedirty work of servile rafian confederates and mercenaries, We have proved to our readers, from oMicial sources, that the Legislature imposed upon Kan- sas by an invading army of Missourians, was a monstrous outrage upon the people of that Terri- tory—that the laws passed by that Legislature were of the most infamous, fleadish, bloody and treasonable description; and we have from all the subsequent official transactions of Mr. Pierce, and all his Territorial subordinates, civil and military, that it is the fixed and delibe- tate policy of the administration and the demno- cratic party to thrust this bogus bloody pro- slavery code down the throats of the free people of Kansas, or expel or exterminate them by foree of arms. We have also published the inaugural address of the new Kansas Governor, Mr. Geary, in which he declares submission to this bloody Missouri code as the first essential to exemption from civil and military punishment. Those in- famous laws he declares it the purpose of the ad- ministration still to enforce; and disobedience will render the offending party liable to the bali and chain, the imprisonments and confiscation which they impose against that freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of opinion secured to us all by the constitution. We are, however, informed by the exclusive Wall street organ of the Pierce administration and the nigger driving spoils democracy, that a perfect milleniam has followed the advent of Governor Geary into Kansas; for thus speaks the Wall street apologi# of Jeff. Davis, Atchison and shown Pierce. Hear him:— The very announcement of a pacific purpose b; Governor has produced the effect || promised. Thi of war has ceased to roll over the land. The tmmbie homes of poverty are no longer scourged with levies of fUpplicr, por does danger evermore «it midmost in the cire'e on their hearthe. Insurgents and invaders have alike become powerless in the of the majesty of the law. No armed force will henceforth be employ ed, save that which is incorporated in the service of the United States, subject to the discipime of the army, and acti der the orders of ite officers, Such is sented to be the tenor of the instructions conv to General Smith in the orders issued from the War {'e- partment on the h inet and the sudden quiet that pre: yaile indicates that the camps of the hostile factions no lor ger obetruct the pestage of peacefu! emigrants seek ing unclaimed anda jor settlement. This pitiful plea substantialy admits every- thing which the Buchanan organs have hereto- fore denied concerning the horrid scenes of yio- lence, fire, robbery and murder, which, under the mal-administration of the democracy in power, have desolated the plains of Kansas. But we are told that “the din of war has ceased to roll over the land,” and that “insurgents and invaders have alike become powerless in the presence of the majesty of the law.” If thie be so, why has this “majesty of the law’ been so long postponed in Kansas, and why does it just show itself upon the eve of the Pennsylvania election? It is a trick, a deception and a snare. The fixed par- pose of Jefferson Davis and Atchison, the real authors of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, is to estab- lish slavery in Kansas. Thus far Mr. Pierce and the democratic party have been their suppliant tools in the work of shooting, scalping; Durning, plundering and driving the free State settlers into exile; but if the terrible uprising of an indignant people, as developed in the late Maine election, suggest the policy of a temporary armistice, it will be only to “let loose again the dogs ef war ”’ with the election of Mr. Buchanan, should he be elected; for then the nigger driving ruffians, filibusters and seces- sionists who managed the Cincinnati Convention will have everything their own way. But what is the real state of affairs in Kansas, according to the latest and most authentic news? The free State army, under Gen. Lane, had marched against the border ruffians at Lecomp- ton, and had compelled the release of the free State men held there as prisoners under Judge Lecompte’s charges of high treason. The border ruffians were in danger of a forcible expulsion, when they were kindly dismissed to Missouri by Goy. Geary. The Governor, it appears, has next proceeded in pursuit of Gen. Lane, with the United States army, and has made a number of arrests of free State “insurgents,” so called, meaning such men as have dared to face Mr. Pierce’s border ruffians in defence of their copsti- tutional rights. Among the latest advices by mail from Kan- sas, is a letter dated Lawrence, Sept. 11, from the Rev. Mr. Nute, to the Rev. Dr. Miles, Secre- tary of the American Unitarian Association. This clergyman, Mr. Nute, had made himself, with others, on account of his “free speech,” particularly obnoxious to the border ruffians, and they had captured him and other offenders, and had given them for two or three weeks a course of punishments which it seems the survivors are likely to remember for awhile. Mr. Nute, after referring to his first twenty-four hours’ captivity, says:— After that time we endured brutality that will hardly seem credible to those who live among civilized people. I think it wil) be difficult to find a parallel to this case in all the annals of civil war, taking all the circumstances into account: the brutal murder of our brother; the beartless conc uct toward the distressed widow; the cool, open murder of the young man who attended us; the mockery of proclaiming us ‘ree to go to our friends, and the ireulting and violent re-arrest on the | vee, planned s0 as to leave the widow wiibout any protection; our confinement in a close, crowded, filthy dungeon, after the tenth day of our imprisonment, when I was too i!! to stand up, witt other cruel deccits and bloodthirsty \breats, so that on three occasions I bad every reason to euppose that my laet bour had come. But Ihave no heart or strength to finish the sentence now, nor to give you apytbipg more than a hivt of what ! passed through since | last wrote you. It will be painful for me to go back to the beginning ani give the history of this affair, and it is no mere persona! consideration that can move me to undertake it. And whatis it all tothe whole sum of outrage and barbarity that bas bern inilicted on my distressed people, and al! over this Territory, during the past month? Let n~ one talk of the exaggeration of these outrages any longer. No one can over-estimate the dis treas which hag followed them. Tere is much of it that can never be made public; the butcheries of men of which there were no witnesses but God and the cowardly perpetraiors: the sleepless terror of defenceless women and children, whose neighbors have been murdered or criven from burning homes, and those yet more Sgn ones whose husbands and fathers have gone out to be heard from uo more, or the sidings of whose savage butchery bag come back to them. This is the testimony of a elergyman in Kansas— a sufferer, a prisoner, an eye-witness to the scenes he describes—and we leave it to our readers to decide whether this witness in Kansas or our amiable and self-complacent Buchanan cotempo- rary in Wall street, is best entitled to belief in their respective accounts of the millenium which has dawned over Kansas with the advent of Gov. Geary. No! «Men may ery peace, peace ; but there is no peace,” and there can be no peace until those infamous Missouri-Kansas laws are .abolished ; until the rights of free settlement and free speech are restored, and until border ruffiansand United States dragoons are superseded by popular sove- reignty, as guaranteed by the constitution. These things we cannot expect with tbe election of Mr. Buchanan, for he will be in the hands of Jeff. Davis and Atchison as the successor of Mr. Pierce: but with the election of Fremont we shall have the constitution proclaimed over Kansas, and the democratic policy of making that Territory a slave State by fire and sword will be superseded hy the policy of leaving the bona fide people of Kansas freely to settle the question for themselves, under all the protective provisions of the consti- tution. In the meantime, we believe, according to the constitution and the usages of all civilized peo- ple, that the Missouri river is a public highway; yet we all know that for some time it has been as rigidly blockaded against free State emigrants to Kansas as any river in the interior of China. We know that Gen. Lane and his reinforcement to the free State settlere had to pase round through Towa and Nebraska, and that a previous free State detachment ascending the Missouri on a steamer, were intercepted, disarmed, plundered of all they had, and sent back again to Illinois, penniless, and without even a change of linen. The election of Fremont will remove this raffian- ly blockade of the Missouri river, and re-open Kansas to the people at large. Let us, there- fore, elect Fremont, and forever put down this modern, corrupt, disorganizing democratic poli- cy of making Kansas a ‘lave State by Missouri blockades, United States dragoons, and the ruf- fian mercenaries of Missouri. Wuat Forsey Taixks or Pexysyivaxta— There is no man in the democratic party who ought to know more of the condition of parties in Pennsylvania than John W. Forney. He has, it is said, canvassed every part of the State, and knows pretty nearly about how it will go in the approaching election. No better authority, there- fore, need be desired on the subject, and we are assured on reliable authority that he said, no later than ten days ago, in conversation with a friend, that the Keystone State would give a ma- jority for Colonel Fremont. That certainly ought to be conclusive. Goverxon Wisk Staxpixe ro ais ARws— By orders issued from the Adjutant-General’s office, in Richmond, Virginia, we see that Gov. Wise has directed the commandants throughout the State to thoroughly organise the militia, and to collect the public arms, and report their num- ber and condition, in order that effective service may be rendered whenever Virginia may call for it. Go on, Governor Wise, go on—the price of niggers is at stake. You are floundering in a bad cause, and are evidently frightened. This last move will give Fremont ten thousand more votes in Pennsylvania. Simpiserry, On! Srvriicrry!—The old Nation- al Intelligeneer, waking up at the eleventh hour from its long sleep, has concluded to join the old line whigs of Baltimore in support of Mr. Fill- more as the old line whig candidate, and as the real man, after all, of the old line whigs, pure and simple. The simplicity of this old Jntelli- geneer is of the purcet kind—the quintessence of simplicity. Is there no “Silver Spring” to which there decayed editors of a past generation gan re- tire to cultivate theiy simplicity? Our Ph‘josophers Down Upon Mayor Weod. Monate or Prowary Execrions—A Cry or Our philosophic cotemporaries of the Tridun:| Distress yRoM Tammany.—Master Peter B. came out yesterday in a savage attack upon Mr. Wood, the Mayor of this city. One would sup- pose that the nomination of Mr. Wood for re-elec- tion was the exciting cause of this sally, but it seems to have been brought out by some business transactions of Mr. Wood during the commence- ment of the great commercial movement towards California. It appears that Mr. Wood, with an eagle eye for business, was the first person to fit out a vessel to open the trade with California, af- ter that country had been conquered by Colonel Fremont. Mr. Wood associated with him in this enterprise a person of the name of Edward E. Marvine, who was reputed to be a clever business man. On the settlement of the accounts of these partners, it appears that there was a difficulty about the price of certain articles, such as codfish, train oi] and other sweet smelling commodities of various kinds. Every one knows, in the neighbor hood of Wall street, that sharp practice is consi- dered one of the finest points in the character of a business man, and every one knows the value 0 a sharp partner in all sorts of speculations. Mr Wood has been, from the commencement of his career, a sharp practitioner, in commerce end trade and politics. Well, in their settlement Wood and Marvine hada difference of opinion. They talked about it, wrote about it, and finally went into the law courts about it. Then, as is usually the case, it went from one court to “ano- ther, lingering along for several years, until it was sent to referees, They decided that Wood must pay Marvine five thousand dollars, being the difference, as they ascertained, in the price of the train oil, codfish, coal, candles, and so forth. Now, what has all this to do with the question of the ability of Fernando Wood to execute the duties of Mayor of this city in case he should be elected for a second term? We ask our friendly philoso- phers of the 7ribune, what have the private trans- actions of Fernando Wood among the army of rogues down town and practitioners in Wall street—what has that matter to do with his ad- ministration of the government of this great metropolis, covered as it is with filth and roguery from top to bottom? Just about as much to do with his performance of the duties of chief magistrate of the city as the ridiculous stories brought forward by the Know Nothing organs in relation to Colonel Fremont’s cattle dealings in California affect the question of the last named gentleman’s capability to perform the duties of President of the United States, if he should be elected. Nothing more nor less. These Tribune philosophers give us a great deal of trouble. For the past four months, or four months and a half, we have been endeavoring to teach them a little common sense, as a valuable aid in their political course, and to fill up the cracks in their heads—some of the aforesaid cracks being at least two inches in length, and others larger than any cracks we ever before heard of out of the lunatic asylum. The trouble that we have had with Philosopher Greeley and his eminent assistants, in endeavoring to make them sensible politicians, is far more annoying than our labors in setting up General Pierce, or the work of knocking him down after we had elected him. Nevertheless, our labor has not been in vain. Philosopher Greeley and his emi- nent associates have made some progress under our tuition. We have given them some practi- cal lessons as to the proper manner of conduct- ing the Presidential canvass. We have taught them how to manage the South, and how to meet the question as to whether Fremont is or is not a Roman Catholic. They have generally been apt scholars; but this business of raking up Mr. Wood's old business transactions makes us fear that they have forgotten some of our lessons of the past three months. If they hope to defeat Wood hy these attacks about the price of codfish, coal, candles and train oil they will only help along his election, in the same way that the ridiculous attacks upon Colonel Fremont’s pri vate character have gained for him thousands of votes among the honest sensible people of the United States. In the attacks of our friendly philosophers upon Mayor Wood they show them- selves to be imitators of the Boobies Brooks and all the other boobies who are pursuing the same course with regard to Colonel Fremont. Such a course will only help to swell Wood's majority. If a man is successful in commercial affairs, and proves himself a sharp practitioner in business, he can aspire to any political position to which his ambition may lead him, and the same quali- ties will prove to the people that he will be th: best and the smartest executive officer. We trust that our philanthropic efforts will not be thrown away upon these philosophers—but if 80, £0 be it. We shall try them once more, and again endeavor to fill up a few more of the cracks in their heads before consigning them to the lunatic asylum. Avxornen Orerratic Improciio.—We hear that the difference of opinion between Maretzek and the stockholders of the Opera has not been settled, and he has declined to take the house on the offered, viz:—a yearly rental of twen- paren, “tom dollars and two hundred free stockholders’ seats every night. The prospect was that the stockholders would consent to the arrangement under which Mr. Barry holds the Boston theatre, to wit:—that the stockholders should have their entrance free, but pay for their secured seats. But this negotiation has fallen through, and thereisno more harmony at the Opera. Hardly have the plaudits which greeted the North Star's culottes died away ere there is a grand crash. Max, the indomitable, declares that he will not keep the house open for the amuse- ment of two hundred dead heads who have plen- ty of money; and the Academy doors will be shut on Tuesday next, and its fortunes no more di- rected by the baton of Max Maretzek. Such is the sad news which it is our painful duty to impart to the habitués of Irving place. And in view of this aspect of things, we may ask, is there never to be any harmony at the Opera Are all the musical combinations at fault? Max can regulate the artists, but the stockholders are altogether unmanageable. Max's crime is that he Las been successful. Max manages to get out of the Opera with a whole skin, while one mana- ger loses thirty thousand and another fifty thou- sand dellars, The stockholders refused to be as- sessed to pay off the debts of the house, although in one way and another they have received a large interest on their investment, but cling to their privileges with the tenacity of politicians in fat offices, who rarely die and never resign. We live in a belligerent age. Members of Congress fight; the consolidated democracy of ‘Tammany Hall quarrel like—like democrats; there are quarrels among all the politicians of all parties; and now at the Opera, where we would look for harmony, according to the “eternal fit- nose of things,’ there is nothing but discord. Troly theese arg troubloys times, Sweeny and Master J. Y. Savage, Jr., have come before the public in a most lachrymose let- ter, weeping like whipped schoolboys, and tell- ing a long yarn about the defeats they have suffered during the late movements of the demo- eracy, at the hands of that terrible autocrat, Fernando Wood. We doubt whether Masters Sweeny and Savage will gain any public sympa- thy for their awful sufferings. There is an old proverb, worth its weight in gold— When rogues fall out, honest men get their dues.” Masters Sweeny and Savage went into all the late primary elections; and having been beaten at their own game, they now go back and en- deavor to horrify the public by telling the secrets of their prison house. It jwon’t do. People in their own party will only laugh at their folly, while those of the adverse faction will rejoice that they have been ousted from the political position they once held, No doubt the primary elections are all bad We were satisfied of this fact long ago, and have opposed the whole system for several years The public have already been informed how the machinery of primary assemblies is used by rogues to further their own purposes; and all parties are troubled with these same evils—it is a chronic disease, and one party is as bad as the other. The tumult attempted to be raised by Masters Savage and Sweeny is, therefore, per- fectly futile, and will hardly attract notice out of the shade of Tammany. The fact is that Mayor Wood, in talent and ability, is far ahead of all his competitors. We care nothing for his party, and have no sympathy with it. We believe that he will be successful, and we believe that he will endeavor to procure for us a new city charter and a more perfect government for the city. We think he will be likely to accomplish these things without the aid of such nincompoops and imbeciles as Messrs. Sweeny and Savage, or any other clique. We care nothing about the system of primary elec- tions—would be glad to see it smashed up to- morrow. All we want is a respectable, decided administration of the city government, and some relief from the wretched municipal misrule to which the present system subjects us. Are tHE Roman Carsouics DanGEerovs?— We see that the special organ of Mr. Fillmore keeps up his croaking about the danger that is to be apprehended in this country from the Jesuits, and especially the Pope of Rome. It appears that Mr. Fillmore is prepared to meet the Pope and the Jesuits, to stop them in their nefarious career, and to give them a lesson. We are given to understand that his journay to Rome was main- ly undertaken with a view to study their charac- ter and history, and that if he is President he will put them down with a high and unrelenting hand. They need expect no mercy. Mr. Filk more’s only claim to the votes of his fellow coun- trymen is his views with regard to the Pope and the Jesuits; should he be elected, he will make them remember it. This is the gabble which the Express of this city publishes day after day, in order to secure the votes of the American people for Millard Fillmore for President, and Erastus Brooks (who is also down upon the Jesuits) for Governor. We put it to every man of candor whether it b not a disgrace to the country that any man of any character—much less an ex-President—should solicit the votes of citizens of the United States on grounds as mean, as depicable, as disgusting as these. We put it to the whole people of the republic whether such a candidate, on such grounds, in the year of Grace 1856, is not a most disheartening and sorrowful spectacle? The Jesuits! the Jesuits! Why, in about thir- teen years, a whole century will have elapsed since the order was broken down, battered to pieces, crushed—many of its members starved to death, others exiled, others driven into new call- ings—and the spirit of the company so utterly broken that a whole century has not begun to re- vive it. Of the few score of Jesuits now existing in the world, by far the greater portion are beg- gars, mendicants, wanderers through the Hud- son’s Bay territory, Oregon, South America, China, Tartary, Hindostan, Australia, Africa; a large proportion of them die of hunger every year, or are torn in pieces by beasts or wild savages, These are the men against whom Mil- lard Fillmore is going to array the whole ford® of the United States. Then the Pope! We affectionately advise Mr. Fillmore and the Express to hurry up their mea- sures against the Pope. Let them be quick about it; for if they delay, the French and English will have been pensioned by the old gentleman; and then what shall they do? We submit that, independently of the absurdi- ty of the thing, the Fillmore crusade against the Roman Catholics is the most shameful feature in the history of the United States. THE LATEST NEWS.

Embezzlement of Five Million Francs front a Rallread Company by Twoof its Officers —Flight of the Financiers to the United States—Capture of one of the Fugitives | and his Alleged Accomplices by the Detective Police=Confession of Gullt by one of the Prisoners—Recovery of Seventy Thousand Francs, &c., des In Friday’s BeRAvp we published an account of an ime mense fraud upon the Northern Railway of France by two of its cashiers—Charles Carpentier and Louis Grelet, Now we are called upon to announce the arrest of one of the parties (Grelet) and two of bis alleged accomplices, which took place in this city on Friday evening, through some shrewd management on the part of the detective police. 5 The accused, it appears, fled to this country in the early Part of this montb. Louis Greiet and his brother Eagene escaped on board the Atlantic, and arrived bere on the 15th inst., while Carpentier arrived in this city from Havre, ip thesteamabip Fulton, Carpentier was the head cashier of the railway company, and in concert with Louig Grelet wad been carrying on a series of embezzlemente _ for the last three years, which amount, in the aggregate, to something like one million dollars, or fiye million francs. A broker named August Parot accompanied Gre- let to this country, and as it is supposed he has been en- gaged in disposing of the embezzled funde for the cashiers, the police arrested him, and seized upon 70,000 francs which he had in his possession, A brother of Grelet’s, pamed Eugene, a young man about eighteen years of age, ‘was also taken into custody, but it is generaly believed that be 1 enlirely innecent. Carpentier has not yet yeen arrested, but strong hopes are entertained by the police of his ultimate capture. The French Consul, M. de Montholon, and Mr. Christmas, the agent of the Rotbchilds, have been making every exertion to ferret out the fugitives, and will be irdefati- gable in their endeavors to have the accused parties gent back to France for trial. Unicss it appears that the Northern Railway of France is a government institution, and that the fugitives were public officers, we think the effort will be in vain, for the treaty existing between this country and France for the surrender of criminals does bot embrace larcenies or embezzlements, except where the same are committed by public oflicers, Below will be found an interesting account of the man- ner in which the arrest of Grelet, his brother Eugene and Parot was effected, and thetr conduct in the station house yesterday; also some further particulars concerning the great fraud, taken from our European files, which will be no doubt read with Intense interest :— THE ARREST OF THE FUGITIVES. On the 15th inst. Mr. Christmas, the agent of Belmont, be banker, in this city, came to the office of the Chief of Police in company with Mr. Henry Goddard of the Lon- ¢on Detective Police, and had an interview with Sergeant Devoe upon the extensive fraud which had been prac- ced upon the Northern Railroad Company of France. Mr. C. stated that the fraud involved the house of Roths- «bild to a large amount, and that the firm in question had eent out Mr. Godaard to this country with a view of as- certaining whether the fugitives had taken shelter in the United States oe. He desired the officers to do all they could in the matter, and make a strict searct throughout the city for the parties implicated. An em- plone of the railroad company, named Melin, who was well acquainted with the fugitives, was also sent over to this country to facilitate the officers in the disc of their duty. Mr. De Angelis, of the United Stetee Hare shal’s oflice, was also, at the request of the Freach Con- sul, engaged in the case, and due arrangements were mace between the officers for, the completion of the task undertaken by them. The steamship Atlantic, of the Collins line, was first Ite oa Slr te e bri , Lou x taken on beard thge veusel_ from’ Liv had arrived in New York some = Bejmont’s agent was immediately when be became convinced of the parties.
