It is announced that President Pierce wil! remain im Now Hampshire until Thursday next.

Our correspondent in Matamoros, Mexico, far- ishes a statement of the political influences which produced the late revolution in the northern portion of that country, and chronicles the progress of the Vidaurri movement against President Comonfort, in a series of letters dated the 20th and 27th of August and 6th of September. It appears that General Vidaurri demanded the removal of Comonfort from the position of President Substitute, on the ground that he had violated the plan of Ayutla, in endea- voring to render all the States entirely subservient to central rule. Vidaurri also demanded the inaugu vation of Juan Alvarez as President pro tempore, until the new constitution, then ander discussion, openly denied his aathority, and says he is prepar- ed, as Commanderin-Chief of the army of the North, to resist his orders by force if necessary. aid from the general government.

An order for the arrest of Mr. J mes Dowe, said to be member of the Executive Committee of the San Francisco Vigilance Committes, was iasned yes- terdey at the instance of Charles P.

Duane’s affidavit, whi h we publish elsewhe'e, 's an interest- ing narrative of his experience while in the hands of the Vigilance Committee and his subsequent adven- tures, He estimates his losses by his involuntary expatriation at a high figure, and prays that Dowe, who is a gentleman of wealth, be he!d to answer in the sum of one hundred thousand do!lars. The Board of Supervisors held the first meeting of their October session last evening, snd received communications from the Comptroller and Receiver of Taxes respecting the assessment rolls, which will be found under the proper head. An unusual amount of business was disposed of in the Board of Aldermen last evening. A communi- cation was received from the Mayor, nominating Mr. R. Bustced, as Corporation Counsel for the unex- pired term of the late Lorenzo B. Shepard, and ‘was adopted by a vote of 13 to 6. The semi-annual report of the Chief of Police, detailing the amount of crime in this city for the last six months, was pre- sented in tabular form, without note or comment. An abstract will be found in the report of the pro- ceedings of the Board. A proposition was made to divide the government of New York into two muni- cipelities, and was referred, but the committee is not yet appointed. Nothing was done inthe Board of Counci!men last evening, there being no quorum. At the opening of the Court of General Sessions yesterday, the District Attorney a feeling eulogy upon the character of the Lorenzo B. Shepard, which was followed by some appropriate remarks from Judge Capron, at the conclusion of which the Court adjourned. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 600 a 800 bales, the market closing quite stifi, with an upward tendency in prices. Middling uplands were firm at 12jc. The stock contigped light, and the chief demand was on speculation. We saw a tele- graph despatch from a highly respectable firm in Mobile to a house in this city, dated October 4, which quoted middling cotton at 12jc. and freightsto Havre at ljc. It also stated that a severe frost had occur- red in Alabama on the Ist inst. Flour was dull at Saturday's prices. Wheat was easier. Red Western and Southern sold at $1 40 a $1 48, and white do. at $1 56a $1 62, and Canadian white at $1 60a $1 63. Corn sold at 66c. a 66}c., part delivered. There was more inquiry for pork, with sales of mess at $19 87a $20. Sugars were more steady, with sales of 600 a 860 bnds. Cuba museovado. Sales of 2,250 bags Rio coflee were made, with 100 do. Bahia, all at steady prices. Freights to English ports were in good demand. To Liverpool grain was freely taken at 10d. in bags and bulk, and some oats in balk at 9jc. To London grain was taken at llc. a ll}c., and flour at 3s. The Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana October Elections—Make Way for Fremont. This day week, on Tuesday, the fourteenth instant, we are to have, in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, those preliminary battles against the demoralized democracy, which are destined to culminate ina regular Waterloo defeat to Mr. Buchanan on the great day of November. There is, in other words, an ominous rolling of popular thunder along the whole Western horizon, which indicates in these October elections in Pennsylva- nia, Ohio and Indiana, a heavier Fremont tornado than that which bas recently swept over the eastern frontier democratic State of Maine. In Ohio, such is the overwhelming strength of the Fremont movement that the Pierce-Buchanan democracy are merely keeping up a show of re- sistance for the sake of appearances—in Indiana it is much the same thing. In both States the result in October will go far ahead of the tre- mendous revolution of the same elections in 1840, against the corrupt and condemned dynasty of Van Buren. As far as this administration of poor Pierce bas exceeded that of Van Buren in its debasing corruptions, in its imbecilities and disgraceful wickedness, so far will the popular re- action of the October elections of 1856 transcend the popular anti-Van Buren uprisings of 1840. Grand and glorious as we are assured will be these October results in Ohio and Indiana, we shall not be surprised in the least degree if the good old State of Pennsylvania shall leave the frightened democracy, on the night of the 14th of October, in a minority as hopeless as in either of the young giants of the West. We are aware that the doomed democracy have made Pennsy!- vania the Malakoff of the siege—that all the available Buchanan orators, East, West, North and South, secessionists, disunionists, oflicehold- ers and officeseeking spoilamen, have been thrown into Pennsylvania, and are working night and day at their defences. We know that heavy assessments have been made upon the poor clerks of the de- partments at Washington, of the Custom Houses and Post Offices of New York, Boston, Philadel- phia and elsewhere, for ammunition aad supplies of subsistence; we are apprised that the most in- famous schemes of ballot stuffing may be expect- ed from Forney & Co., and that something of the bloody terrorism of Kansas has been threatened where hired democratic ruffians can be brought to bear against the rights of the people; but we have no fears of the result—none at all. We believe that the Pennsylvania people are up and wide awake—that these corrupt demo- cratic missionaries and mercenaries, and all their works, all their schemes, all their tricks and de- vices, all their attempts at deception, at ballot stuffing, bullying and perjury, will be borne down with something of the resistless power of that late terrible tempest at Last Island in the Gulf of Mexico. We understand that the Penn- sylvania democracy are thoroughly organized in every county, every township, city and village, and that they can almost tell to a fraction the bona fide vote which they will cast in October; but if this be so, their alarm is much more significant than if it were only a vague suspicion of danger and defeat. They have counted their forces, they find they are in a minority, and hence their desperate efforts to raise false issues, to create dis- tractions in the opposite camps, and to raise re- cruits by bribery and corruption. All these desperate expedients to snstain a sinking cause will avail nothing. When the masses of the people are roused—when they move en masse to the polls, as in the late Iowa, Vermont and Maine elections—no mere party organization or partizan tricks can withstand them. A spon- taneous uprising of the American people is as ir- resistible as the ocean when raised into action by an equinoctial storm. In ordinary times our popular elections are too frequently decided by the devices of cunning politicians; but when the people in reality take the field, politicians and their petty machinery are swept off like stubble before a consuming fire. We are in the midst of a crisie of this description now. The people are thoroughly roused, and they will speak for them- selves in October and November. All the elements of a wholesome popular revo- lution are compressed into this Fremont move- ment. A weak and wicked administration—a | debaeed and reckless party—the revolting at- tempts of thie administration and this party to NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1856. force slavery upon Kansas by ballot stuffing and a military despotism—the infamous democratic doctrine of the public robbery of our neighbors’ territories when we want them—the rampant treason of these democratic buccaneers, as devel- oped in their brutalities at Washington, and in their threats of secession, disunion and civil war, have done their work, and the people have risen in judgment against them. The moral sense of the people has been alarmed—the religious in- stincts of the whole community of this Union have been outraged—the patriotic convictions of independent men have been awakened, and the result is this simultaneous, spontaneous and overwhelming revolution for Fremont, the Union, the Constitution, white men’s rights, and the dis- persion of the unclean birds who have fattened upon the Treasury while they have brought the country into disgrace, A week after these October elections in Penn- sylvania, Ohio and Indiana we may expect to see the Fremont movement boldly breaking ground It wanted buta single bold and prominent Southern man to strike this monster of Southern disunion, in order to fell him to the ground. Mr. Botts has proved himself that man. He has given the blow—he has floored the blus- tering monster, and the coast is clear in the South for a larger exercise of the constitutional rights of free speech and freedom of opinion. Persecu- tion creates heroes and revolutions, It has made a hero of Mr. Botts, as the champion of popular in the South. rights in Virginia against that local democratic terrorism of lynch law and disunion; and the people will yet reward him when this Fremont revolution shall have secured the people’s rights. These Northern October elections will enlarge ~ the area of white men’s liberty in the South, and a fortnight afterwards we may expect to see a Fremont electoral ticket and Fremont public meetings peaceably organized and rapidly strengthening in every Southern State. Let these reflections strengthen the hands of the Fremont men of Pennsylvania, Ohio and In- diana, and their October elections will settle the question for November. A Sovrm Carona Nuuuirmr AGarst Two Massacuvserts Apo.itioyists—INTERESTING Re- rort.—We publish to-day an interesting report, from the pen of Richard Yeadon, Esq., of the Charleston Courier, of a late sermon by Rev. Theodore Parker, and a late familiar discussion between Mr. Yeadon on the one side, and Dr. Parker and Wm. Lloyd Garrison on the other, on the abstract question of niggers and nigger slavery, and to the careful perusal of this report we invite our intelligent readers. Garrison, Parker and the abolitionists of that school are out of this fight, and South Caro- Tne nullification has become but a sorry scare- esew of the Buchanan and Forney democracy. This sport, therefore, of Mr. Yeadon, is not to be considered as an electioneering document, either for abolitioniets or nullifiers. It must be taken asathy ‘eal, physiological, geographical and philoso eorsion of niggers and nigger slavery, » reference to Kansas or to Governor Wi and the price of niggers. It is an outside fight of a South Carolina nullifier against two Massachusetts abolitionists. It be- gins with a description of Dr. Parker and an abolition sermon from that learned divine on nigger, and closes with 9 nullification lecture on the ‘military strength of the South, “eho shins and gizzard feet” inclusive. The sermon and discussion abound in Scriptural quotations, philosophy, chop logic and curious facts in the natural history of the nigger, with some passing allusions to Irish market wo- men and men of letters, Mr. Hoar’s mission to Charleston and a threatened coat of tar and feathers. On his part, Mr. Yeadon shows how the South Carolina niggers get fat on rice, ma Jaria and sunshine, which are certain death to the white man, while Garrison pokes him in the ribs in reference to the Southern penal laws against teaching niggers to read and write. Mr. Yeadon touches upon the savage niggers of Africa as compared with Carolina niggers, and Dr. Par- ker pleads the statute of limitation. Inthe course of the debate, it will be seen that the Charleston nullifier, Mr. Yeadon, comes to a rather good opinion of the Boston abolitionist, Mr. Garrison, though he has a different opinion of Seward and rome others of that set of philosophers on nig- gers, To the end of the controversy we are as- sured that Dr. Parker, at whose house this debate occurred, behaved himself not like a Carolina nigger, or any other nigger, but altogether like a gentleman and a scholar. We cheerfully publish Mr. Yeadon’s report of this nigger debate for what it is worth. It will be seen that nothing was made of the matter by either side—that both parties left off precisely where they began, with the profound conviction on each side that the other was all wrong. And there we are compelled to leave them; for it ® about an even toss up between the South Carolina nullifier and the Massachusetts abolitioniet—be- tween the Charleston secessionist, if slavery is not extended, and the Boston disunionist if slavery is not abolished. Neither of them enter into the Fremont programme, and yet there is no damage done to give them both a hearing. M South Ca- rolina nullifiers and M. ‘busetts abolitionists de- sire to wash their dirt¥ nigger linen before all the world, let them do so, It is altogether a mat- ter of taste. On the abstract question of niggers, the Carolinian has evidently the weight of the argoment ; but on the subject of disunion he sud- denly diminishes to the small standard of Bully Brooks and Gov. Wise. Finally, there is much of interest and something of instruction in this report of Mr. Yeadon, though we must confess that it ameunts to little more than a heavy wash- ing of dirty nigger linen by a Carolina nullifier and two Massachusetts abolitionists over the tame tub. Is Dancer or Lenacy.—Master MacMasters, the editor of the Freeman's Journal, a newspaper that is snpposed to be the organ of Archbishop Hughes, is perfectly frantic on the subject of Colonel Fremont’s religion. Master MacMasters desires that Colonel Fremont should come out and deny the ridiculous and stupid stories which have been circulated concerning his religious be- lief. Master MacMasters had better go to his confessional—confess his sins—get absolution and then hang himself to the next tree. Colonel Fre- mont is not going to answer him or any such blockheads to save their necks from a self-adjust- ed halter. We invoke the charity of Archbishop Hughes for his pupil, and hope he will teach kim better, otherwise the poor man will be a fit can- didate fer the Innatic asylam. Tre Kansas Exections were appointed to come off yesterday. The free State settlers having been pretty thoroughly cleared our by border ruffians and United States dragoons, we presume that Gen, Whitfield has been triumphantly elect- | ed to Congress, with another bogus Legislature to bagk him. Tue Late Farat Duet ar Cuarseston.—It is impossible to read the account of the late duel at Charleston, in which a most gifted man, Mr. Ta- ber, the editor of the Charleston Mercury, was shot dead by his antagonist, without feeling satis- fied that society—by which we mean political so- ciety—is in such a state in the South that every- body appears to be demented. A thirst for blood, violence and disturbance seems to prevail in every mind over the sober dictates of reason. The whole correspondence between the parties in this unfortunate affair—as indeed every other correspondence, and almost every expression of opinion—breathes a violent, reckless, blood and murder tone, There is talk of gentlemen with- out a gentle thought or expression; there is men- tion of honor, but seemingly only as an excuse for brutality. The whole complexion of the busi- ness, and the color of the written documents re- veal an abnormal, spasmodic, revolutionary state of feeling; just such a feeling, in short, as might have reigned among the old seigniors of France when the revolution threatened their downfall, or the older Roman lieutenants and governors when the Gauls and the Franks began to clamor for freedom. It all seems to foreshadow a pass- ing away of power. Not otherwise should be viewed the assault of Mr. Brooks on Senator Sumner. Those who, in the North, have called Brooks all the hard names they could think of, and depicted him as the ruffian type of the slaveholder, have not only done him injustice by false state- ments of fact, but have weakened the cause they desired to strengthen, by putting out of sight a most instructive and significant spectacle, name- ly, that of a gentleman like Mr. Brooks, so per- verted from his original nature, and convulsed by the premonitory throes of the revolution- ary fever, that he could without scruple, as without remorse, act like a Five Point ruffan and emulate a drunken assassin. We say the spectacle is instructive and sig- nificant. At the time the scene was fresh in men’s memory, a paragraph from one of Mr. Brooks’ old speeches went the round of the papers. It was to the effect that violence was the resort of ruffians, that the civilized man used no other weapon than reason. People in- quired how his practice could be reconciled with his principles, and wondered why he had spoken like a hypocrite, when he intended to act like a brawler. But they were misled by the superfi- cial appearance of matters. Brooks was no hypocrite when he denounced violence. That was, no doubt, the sober sentiment of his real heart and mind. But, mark you, as the time aj 3 proached when power was to pass away from the party and the clique to which Mr. Brooks be- longed, his feelings underwent a gradual convul- sion; what was order became disorder; what logic became passion; what sense became folly; in fact, the whole man, in the anticipated agony of the moment, lost his balance, violated his own precepts, and illustrated the operations to which the human intellect is liable under severe trials. The case of Mr. Taber, with its attendant cir- cumstances, is only another illustration of the same thing. There is another point of view in which we de- sire to remark upon this latter case. Mr. Taber, as the editor of a leading paper at Charleston, felt bound to admit into his paper disparaging comments upon the qualifications of a candidate for office, for which the brother of the candidate challenged and shot him. that Mr, Taber should, by his conduct, have en- dorsed such a violation of the liberty of the press, There are societies, as at the South, where private individuals are expected to hold them- selves answerable for their language and their opinions with the pistol in the field: but even there the responsibility is bounded by the pale of private society. No Southern gentleman is bound We are very sorry to fight the man who assails him in his publi capacity, in a public manner and fora public cause. For instance, no one expects Henry A. Wise to challenge John M. Botts, though the lat- ter has flayed the Governor mercilessly. The same rule should protect the press. Mr. Taber was not in any degree bound to fight Mr. Magrath, and in doing so we think he committed a fatal error. He should have replied:—*“No, sir, I will not fight you, because if I admitted my responsi- bility in the field for the course of my paper, any villain might neutralize my efforts and silence me with a challenge.” The point in the North and West bas been conclusively and properly set- tled by the course pursued in the like case by McMichael of Philadelphia, and Prentice of Louis- ville. We notice that Mr. Taber's course affords one of our Wall street cotemporaries a theme for wholesome and edifying comment; we are glad to see denunciations of violence come from such a quarter, for they possess, in some respect, a self-accusatory character, and may be viewed ae a sort of conyiteor om the part of the editor. Location or tHe Post Orrtce.—We learn thet the President has not yet decided upon the loca- tion for the new Post Office in this city. There has been lately a great deal of outside pressure upon the President by those interested in the site of the Brick Church, and by speculators in real estate in several other parts of the eity. The Brick Church property is central enough, as far as that goes, but the site is not large enough to meet the postal requirements of this great and growing city. Besides, this speculation has been in the hands of several Congressmen, who are to have large per centages on the profite—say fifty or seventy-five thousand dollars—provided they can wheedle poor Pierce into the selection of this site as the place for the new Post Office. The clear profit by the speculation will be nearly three hundred thousand dollars, and a large slice is to be given to these spoilemen {f they sneceed in deluding the President into selecting the Brick Church property. Poor Pierce hae lately had no peace of his life. Ho has been constantly besieged by these leeches, They have sat down before him as if he were a fortified city, and encompassed him about on every side. They have followed him closely ever since he left Washington, and have pursued him down to Concord, New Hampshire, and intend to dog his steps all through New Eng- land. Poor Pierce! Truly, his sorrows are greater than he can bear. We pity him. We regret that even now in his latter days—in the evening of his fame—he can find no rest, For three years he has been under the influence of the spoilemen of Washington, but we had sup- posed that when he left that den of corruption for the granite hills, green fields and crystal etreams of his native State, (which he loves so dearly,) that he might be allowed a few weeks of repore—a gentle interval, wherein he could eit quietly down and review his past life, sin- cerely repenting of his sins and lamenting the errors into which he had been led by the good- ness of his heart. But it is not to be so. He is poll to be puraned, still to be bunted for gng of the last fat bits which he will have to dispense. Poor Pierce! Who would exchange places with thee, and go through thy fortunes and misfor- tunes—thy sudden rise and precipitate fall. Who would rise like thee, a “ bright exhalation in the evening,” and like thee and Lucifer, “ fall never again to hope.” As to the matter of the New York Post Office, we advise Mr. Pierce to decide on the present location, and buy additional land to erect a building which shall be a credit to the city and the federal government. This will be satisfac- tory to the great majority of our people. Tue Crry Know Norainas anp Repusiicans.— Both these factions have been holding their pre- liminary ward meetings for the purpose of or- ganizing the conventions which are to nominate their candidates for the several municipal offices. The Know Nothings in almost all their ward meetings have adopted strong and eloquently worded resolutions in favor of proscribing all the candidates who do not agree with them—-putting down all the Roman Catholics, kicking all the Trish out of the country, and making all the Germans hewers of wood and drawers of water forever. The Know Nothings con- tinue to denounce in the most violent man ner the Pope, the Jesuits, Archbishop Hughes, and all the other powers of the Catholic church. The republican faction, on the other hand, affect great liberality to foreigners, and al- low any one to believe in any religion that he likes. .d are bitterly hostile to the proscription or persecution of any class of citizens, native or foreign. Yet we learn that the management of these opposite political factions are thrown into the hands of the same old political brokers, who intend to put up their principles for barter and sale, in order to improve the chances of some can- didates for local offices, and thus secure the spoils, The truth is that the leaders of both these factions are great humbugs. They will violate the sentiments and sell out the principles sup- ported by the rank and file at the primary mest- ings, without the slightest hesitation. We shall see between now and election day some strange bargains between these opposite organizations with utterly hostile principles, Tue Posrrion, PersonaL AND PourricaL, oF Joun C. Fremont.—We consider that no candi- date for the Presidency since the establishment of our government has ever occupied a more re- markable position than John C. Fremont at the present time. The fortitude and self-command which he has evinced during the canvass are almost unexampled in the history of our great men. Many—whom the nation delights to honor —Clay, Jackson,Gen. Scott—under less severe pressure than Col, Fremont has had to sustain, gave way,@nd gave the people practical evi- dence that they could not command themselves, Yet how small their provocation compared to Fremont’s! Assuredly no man wasever so much abused in this country as this man. He has been called a liar, a perjurer, a traitor, a defaulter, a dishonest runaway, a brawler, a coward, a blun- derer; he has been attacked in bis faith, in his morals, in his character, in his past history, in bis present circumstances; even his parents have been dug out of their grave to insult and villify him through them. Under this unexampled torrent of provocation, Col. Fremont has not once lost his self command. Not a line has he answered to the slanderers; no sign have had they that he knew of their exist- ence; till creatures like the Brookses and the MeMasters have gone crazy with rage at not even getting kicked, and foamed idiotically into letters which Fremont reads with a smile. Such a quality is precisely the requisite for a President. It isthe rarest, the most valuable, and at the same time the most essential of all qualities. Porrrics axp FrxanctertsG.—The Rothschilds, the greatest financiers in Europe, have an Ameri- can agency in Wall street, the agent of which is Anguste Belmont, the American Minister at the Hague. The ostensible business of this concern is banking, but its real vocation at the present time seems to be politica. Belmont, the head of the concern, was appointed Charge to the Hague partly for pecuniary obligations incurred in the campaign, and partly through the influence of Mr. Buchanan, his warm personal friend. Bel- mont is now in Europe, but directs the move- ments of the Wall street agency, which, it seems, is now engaged in converting the Germans from their allegiance to the Pathfinder by the distri- bution of documents in German favorable to the election of Mr. Buchanan, and opposing the im- pending triumph of Mr. Fremont. Among other circumstances in the campaign of 1852, we know that large sums were distributed to some of the papers, before the Baltimore Convention which nominated Mr. Pierce, to support Mr. Buchanan Some two or three journals were killed off by these doses of Belmont’s, and we perceive that several of the foreign papers in this city have probably been under the same gentle treatment. Their sudden changes of opinion and transmuta- tion of principles can be accounted for in no other way, and prove that they have bpen under this same influence of Rothschild and Buchanan. All this will not avail anything, however. The popular feeling of the country is arrayed against Mr. Buchanan, and all the politicians, financiers and bankers in the world can do him no good. Tue Frencn Pare ry Seance or 4 Prastpent, --Our French cotemporary, the New York organ of the Emperor of the French, is faithfully illus- trating the national character by his gyrations in search of a President. Some weeks since, our French friend could see no fault in Col. Fremont; shortly afterwards it discovered the perfect man in Fillmore, and came out strongly for him; finally, it has settled on Buchanan, and proclaims him to be the candidate of its choice. By the time it hears of the result in Pennsylvania we have no doubt but it will return to its early love, Col. Fremont; and if the election were post- poned a month or two, it would doubtless go the round of the candidates again. So true it is that a Frenchman is a Frenchman all the world over! So easily explained are the chops and changes which have led the French to set up a dozen go- vernments within sixty yeare, and pull them all down just as they were beginning to work ! Crty Asseyrry Rooms—Manaizex’s Coxcert.—The late empresario of the opera, after his retirement from the Academy of Music, finds ® temporary refuge at the City Assembly Rooms, in Broadway, which be inaugurated by a grand concert last evening. The attendance was very good, but not such as the very excellent programme de- served. We had the whole Academy troupe—La Grange, Miss Adelaide Phillipe, Brignoli, Amodio—the entire orches- tra and chorus of the Academy, in the gems of ‘Trova. tore,’ and @ nice selection of other popular music. The hall was found well sulted ‘or acoustic purposes, and the owmble was very fine. The artists were all in good voice and the concert was a veritable success, The second gcpogrt will take piacg on Wenkagaday, THE LATEST NEWS; BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE, The Difficulty with Naples Coming to a Head.

Madrid correspondence in the Paris Journal des Debais, says that the Queen and O'Donnell were so much at ya- riance that O’Donnell bad tendered his resignation, which, however, for the present the Queen declined to accept. The reports respecting a hostile French demonstration against Naples, were acquiring more consistency. The Journal des Debats, as also the Paris correspon- dents of the London papers, state that if Naples does not at once decide to the concessions demanded, four line-of- battle ships, two frigates and teo corvettes, already de- tailed for the purpose, wil! rendezvous at Ajaccio, and, thence proceeding to Naples, will take on board the Frerch and English embassies. The Sardinian government has demanded explanations and indemnity from Tuscany for the recent expulsion from Florence of a party of student visiters. Copenhagen advices state that the negotiations on the Sound dues question were progressing favorably; that result would be arrived at in a few days, and that = ‘special conference, to Ox the amount of indemnity, would. be held at Copenhagen !n November, A London paper publiehes a despatch from Constanti- nople stating that difficulties still exist respecting the Isle of Serpents, and that the English and French fleets wil consequently remain in the East. This statement, al- ‘though not new, depressed the English funds, and the de- Pression was assisted by a statement that Austria had arrested several men cisct arged at Malta from the British» Legion, against which Great Britain had protested, de- manding their immediate release. A further uneasy feel- ing was becoming prevalent under the belief shat Eng- land was acting without the hearty concurrence of France in the Naples affairs, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Speaker Banks addressed a very large assemblage in Independence square this afternoon, on the invitation of many of the merchants of this city, He reviewed the ‘various questions which enter into this Presidential can- ‘vasa, and attributed the hostility between the two sec- tions of the country mainly to the quacks and empirics of the democratic party in 1856. He contrasted the present: ftate of aflairs with that which existed from the time of the establishment of the constitution down to 1850, He alluded to the fact that in fifteen States of the Union no Northern man would be permitted to address the people ‘n favor of the republican candidate, and that even a citi- zen of Virgmia (Mr. Botts) was menaced with indict- ment for treason because he dared to express his opinions frankly; and, referriag to Gov. Wise’s opprobrious allusion to Col, Fremont, be spoke of him as the rufflan Governor of Virginia, and described his assaults on the character of Fremont as atrocious and beastly, He discussed the Kaneas Nebraska question, and declared tpat the only remedy for the evil was to re-impart, in some form or other, strength and force to the Missourl compromise, He contrasted the proposition of Thos. Jefferson (to draw a line running north and south between the Missis- sippi and the Kanawha river, in Virginia, and thus form seventeen free States,) with that supported by Mr. Bu- chanan in 1860, to extend the Missouri line to the Pacific, and thus give the best portion of California up to slavery. He also denounced the Ostend manifesto, but would say nothing deregatory to Mr. Buchanan, except that he bad no will of bis own, and that if be thought more of Pennsylvania and less of Missourt and the Southern States, be would be a better and an abler man. He showed how Mr, Buchanan inter- fered to frustrate Colonel Fromont’s plana, and make California @ siave State, Mr Ganks, im the course of hie speech, suggested the propriety of abolishing the franking priyitege, aud of giving some threo, four or Aye dollars @
