There were more developements yesterday in re- gard to the forgeries of Huntington, the note broker, ef Wall street. The amount is now stated to be hal! a million of dollars, and there may be more yet an- discovered. This Huntington has not been long in the business, but he appears to have made goo] use of bis tine. The losses will fortunately fall upoa parties perfectly able to bear them, and in this it differs in effect from the great Schuyler swindle. Hon. Washington Hunt addressed an assembly of from fifteen hundred to two thousand persons from the steps of the Merchants’ Exchange yesterday, in support of the claims of Millard Fillmore to the next Presidency. It will be seen from his speech ~ which will be found reported in full elsewhere —that he has no fear of a dissolution of the Union, a! though he of course deprecates the election of Col, Fremont. He is of the orinion that there are a suf ficient number of conservative men North an So to save the country. There was considerable cheer ing, but lit-le or no enthusiasm ‘The cotton market continued very firm yesterday with sales of about 1,000 bales, based upon middling uplands at 12/c., while no line of the same grade of any considerable number of bales could be had ander 13¢. Telegraphic reports from Mobile and 3 Orleans, of the Sth inst., received yesterday, repre sent that much excitement existed in those marke's, and that speculation was rife, and sales of middling cottons were made at l2jc. @ l2fc. a 12je. Preights in New Orleans we: olin Mobile 9-164. for Liverpool. The rivers continued low, and the Mobile market was seid to have been swept of eotton. Hon. Howell Cobb, reorgia, ina letter which may be found elsewhere in our columns, est mates that the yield of the past year will notexceed 2,004,682 bales, or one-third less than an average crop. In connection with there reports we take the following extract prepared by one of our lealing brokers for the Canad, which sailed from Boston on the *th inst. Its views regarding the probable yield of the present crop of cotton is suggestive :— “The accounts from all sections in the South con tinue unfavorable, and we have had another frost which has done some damage in Alabama and else: where ; the full particulars we cannot receive by mail for some few days yet. At Mobile and Mont- gomery, Alabama, it is reported as having injured the cotton on the low grounds. A very decided and well grounded fear prevails here and in the South that eufficient injury bes been done by the late spring dronght in July, worms and other disaste s @mce, snd recently the snprecedeated cold weather and frosts, to limit the production ‘at 3,000,000 bales, and possibly at a lower figure.” Admitting the accuracy of thew vies, and the con- vietion forces itself upon the candid mind that the consumption of the world has overtaken the labor of Of the past year's supply of 3,500,000 bales, Europe took about 2,046,000 bales, of which 2,000,000 were taken by England alone. Assuming that Europe should require equally as much from the present crop, it would amount to near about as much as the whole of the estimated yield of the pre- rent year, leaving no surplus fram which American manufacturers can obtain the 600,000 or 700,000 Dales required to keep their cotton spindles and Jooms in motion. This state of things will bring European and New England manufactarers into com petition in the Southern markets. In such a contest the article must advance; and the higher it goes the worse it will be for our Eastern spinners, because their largest products, of heavy fabrics, are made from middling and lower grades of cotton. Should these grades of the article attain high rates, the competition between American and European pro- ducts in foreign markets will become very unequal, and tell against our own manufacturers. if the sup- ply of labor gt the southwest was equal to the ex- tent of the rich cotton lands now in a state of wil dernesa, we could as easily prodace four millions of bales of cotton as three. We have no white labor sufficiently acclimated to work beneath a tropical wun in the production of the article.

In fee ghte engage- ments were moderate and rates about the same, Dr. Kane has declined an invitation from the citi- zens of Philadelphia to partake of a public dinner previous to his departure for Europe. The Doctor's health is quite feeble. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday, but no- thing of importance came up before them. In the Board of Aldermen last evening @ com- munication was received from the Comptroller, calling attention to the corruption and loose prac- tices in the Street Department, while under the direction of the lave Commissioner, Mr. Furey, re- lative to jobs for fencing vacant lots, M:. Flagg states that he will make no payments on the jobs referred to until compelled by the Courts. The investigation of the charges preferred by Olcott Rhines against the Comptroller, and the nquiry into the corrupt jobbing operations of the Department of Repairs and Supplies, were con- tinued yesterday before the respective committees of the Board ot Aldermen. We give elsewhere full reports of the evidence taken, to which our readers are referred. The developements are important. The proceedings of the Board of Councilmen last evening were devoid of general interest. Kansas Affairs-Governor Geary Harrying up the Work of Making Kansas a Stave State. J Mr. John W. Geary, the new Governor appoint ed under the direction of Jefferson Davis for Kansas, is pushing on his work of making that Territory a slave Siate with great energy. He does not mince matters. He makes no pretences to neutwality between the claims of conflicting border ruffians and free State settlers. He under- stands his ins.ructions and‘knows what he is ex- pected to do. = The administration border ruffians had a willing, buta very poor instrument, in Governor Shannon. His late long-winded manifesto is a precious con_ fession. of imbecility, indecision, perplexity and incompetency. If ii proves more than this, it proves that poor Pierce attempted to shelter him- self under the wings of Shannoa, while Shannon considered himself entitled to the sheltering wings of Pierce. Governor Geary, on the other hand, having received his orders has gone out to Kansas to fulfil them, and without any squeamish fears o! public opinion he seems to have entered boldly upon the task of making Kansas substantially a slave State before the Presidential election. Onur latest advices from Kansas show that Go. vernor Geary is a perfeet Napoleon in the modera democratic art of making a slave State of free territory. First, with the United States dragoong at his service, he dismisses the armed bor- der ruffians, with the complimentary discharge of a volunteer militia force, no lovger needed; then with his dragoons he forcibly expels General Lane and his armed detenders of the free State settlements; and thirdly, he proceeds to arrest the unarmed free State settlers remaining in the Territory on charges of high treason. Our read- ers understand very well what constitutes high treason in Kansas. A fraudulent Legislature has enacted a code of laws of the most infamous, bloody, cruel, savage, shameless and lawless character—a code full of unconstitutional oaghs, pains and penalties; and the free bora American white citizens of that Territory who prefer the constitution and their rights uuder it to these spurious and atrocious laws, are slaughtered or denounced, hunted, arrested and imprisoned on these administration charges of high treason. The free State settlers say, like Patrick Heary, ‘If this be treason, make the most of it,” and Governor Geary, a man of action, is taking them at their word. According to the latest accounts from Kansas, (in addition to wholesale arrests for high treason.) a hundred free State men were confined at Le- compton on still another trampery charge, th harge of murder, in having defended themselves their families and their property against our democratic Presideat’s robbing marauders These prisoners were strictly guarded by United States troops, in a small log bouse, with a loaded fieldpiece near the door to serve as a reminder that they must not inst their masters. Of course the wives dien of thes mers must take care of At the sa time we ke from the St. Louis (Missouri) Democrat, that Gen. 1 who won't stay put out, has had another brush with the border ruffians at Hickory Point where the rufflans were sheltered in a log fort. with black flag flying over it, which they wer: toon compelled to change to a white flag, and shat they weve only saved from a forcible expul sion from the Territory by the intervention of Governor Geary and a large body of United States troops. A compromise was then effected. the ruffians agreeing to dixband and go home. But this disbanding, it further appears, is all a sham. The ruffians remain in the Territory— some of them vagabondizing and plundering what little subsistence of the people has been left by the United States army—others enlisting as three months’ volunteers in the United State« service. Under this pressure numbers of the free State settlers, from impending starvation, are leaving the Territory; and many of those that remain——men, women and children—have sub sisted for weeks upon green cora and squashes —neither flour, meal, nor meat of any kind being left them. To the settlers of a new coun- try their horses are invaluable. It is taking away the right arm of a frontier settler to rob him of hishorse. He is robbed at once of the faithful servant upon whose setvices he had depended for raising the necessaries of life. The administration rufians in Kansas understand this well; and, accordingly, a prominent feature of thelr eystem of operations has been the whole. sale stealing or taking of the horses of the free State settlers, according to the official demdcratic doctrine of the Ostend manifesto. The Missouri border ruffians have only applied to the horses of their free State neighbors of Kansas the identi- cal doctrine which Mr. Buchanan is pledged to apply to the island of Cuba—the good old bucea- neering doctrine of “wresting it from Spain if we have the power.” Under this propitious conjuncture of favorable circumstances for the slave State democracy of Kaneas, executive officials, United States regu- lars and Missouri militia, the October Territorial election will have taken place. Besides, as we learn, the free State party at Lawrence had re. colved to take no partin the bogus experiment of popular sovereignty, so that, by fire and sword, and by those other expelling agencies of robbery and starvation, arrests and imprison- ments, and by ballot staffing and perjured voters, there can be no doubt that this Kaneas October election has gone pro- slavery almort unanimously. There is nothing, therefore, remaining to prevent the erection of Kansas into a slave State, through the eystem of and ¢ themselves, terrorism, blood, robbery and fraud adopted by Pierce and the rotten democracy, except the election of Fremont as our next President. His election, however, will put a peremptory stop to this policy of terrorism, and restore the constitu- tion, the laws and the sovereign rights of the people to Kansas and the South, where the con- stitution is almost as much a dead letter as in Kansas. Fremont’s election is the only remedy for this democratic ruffian despotism which now reigns supreme over Kansas and ever the Southern States, It is Fremont and the constitution against Buchanan and the democratic nigger drivers, nullifiers, disunionists, border ruftians, filibusters and their Ostend manifesto, Give us Fremont and the constitution. Tus Great Peapopy Festivat.—We gave yesterday a very interesting and full account of the splendid festival given to George Peabody, of London, by the people of Danvers, his native town. The cost of procuring that report, in te- legraph bills, amounted to between two and three hundred dollars, but we were under some obliga- tions to Mr. Peabody, and we think the money well laid out. Last spring, when we were in London, Mr. Peabody gave one of his splendid entertainments at Richmond Hill,on the River Thames, at which a number of American travellers, several silly. baronets, and a noodle of a Lord were present. Mr. Peabody sent us one of the first invitations to this dinner, which numbered amongst the company ex-President Fillmore and financier Corcoran, from Washington. We could not accept it, because just about that time we were busy with Lord Palmerston and Lord Cla- rendon; but we have now the pleasure of re- turning the compliment {3 the generous, though sometimes silly, Peabody.” The entertainment at Danvers appears to have been well gotup. The people of that generous and grateful village far surpass in magnanimity and gratitude the people of bigger villages. It appears that Mr. Peabody, besides conferring on the inhabitants of Danvers the favor of being born in their town, has only presented them with thirtyor forty thousand dollars for the establishment of a lyceum. Peter Cooper, of this metropolis, gave for a similar beneficent institution the large sum of $200,000, yet ¢he ungrateful people of New York never made such a fuss about their munificent benefactor as the people of the village of Danvers have done about George Peabody. Nevertheless, the dinner went off well. Mr. Peabody bad a good speech pre- pared for him, and, as is seldom the case in his London entertainments, he spoke it through from beginning to end without once breaking down. This proves that he has acquired more strength in his backbone and more continuity in his elo- quence—which are, no doubt, due to the fine fresh air and bracing atmosphere of this country. The specch of Mr. Everett was, like all the speeches coming from that learned and eloquent man, exceedingly fine and exceedingly elaborate. Mr. Everett is a man of singular mind, and pos sesses Wonderful versatility. When he was Se- cretary of State the official papers that emanated from him were magnificent elaborations of states- manship and didactic eloquence. When called upon to make a dinner speech to the people of the little village of Danvers, he was equally great, and almost overwhelmed them by the ex- ent of his learning, the beauty of his diction and the skill and eloquence of his periods. George Peabody, with the endorsement of Ed- ward Everett, one of the most distinguished of our literati, can now walk through his native land with bis head a little higher tham neaal. The ice is broken, and the little big mea ef this city should, by all means, get up the splendid entertainment to him at the Academy which was proposed on his arrival. Canpipates ror Mayor.—We have now in the field four candidates for the Mayoralty put for- ward by the several parties, and one stamp can- didate besides; if the people cannot make a selec- tion from such a number they deserve none at all. Mr. Fernando Wood was first in the field for a re-election; he is very well known to both friends and enemies, and he seems yet, from the malti- plicity of candidates and the divisions among them, to have some prospect of walking over the course. Who are his opponents? First in the list is James R. Whiting, Judge of the Supreme Court. Mr. Whiting is a man of considerable energy and talents, who has been in office, in one way or other, for twenty years—first as Aldermen, then as District Attorney, and afterwards in other offices. Out of offices with incomes varying from zero to three or four thousand a year, he has made an ample fortune, and is said to be worth $300,000. He has been nominated by the re- formers, whose head is an amiable, wealthy gen- tleman, Peter Cooper, and whose tail is a re- markable music man, Mr. Erben. . His prospect is slim, and we doubt whether he will come down from the Supreme bench and resign a salary of $5,000 to take the responsibility of Mayor for $3,000. The next opponent to the inexorable Fernando ia Isaac O. Barker, put forward by the rump of the Know Nothings, the rank and file of the party having gone over to the Fremont camp. Who is Mr. Barker? A very amiable, weak man. He waa, in 1852, a member of that Corporation which, from its outrageous expenditures and corrup- tions, was termed the den of “forty thieves.’ Would he reduce the taxes from seven millions to four? Not likely. Who is our next customer? James 0. Libby, © very worthy hotel keeper, who has been put forward by the bogus democracy and afew young nincompoops call'ng themselves a Young Men's Committee. He, also, was a member of the “ forty thieves” Corporation, and from that den of in's quity he contrived to rise to be President of a city railroad, and consequently to be a rich man also, Would he reduce the taxes from seven mil- lions to four ? The next casdidate is Anthony J. Bleecker, nominated by the black republicans. Ever since Flagg has presided over the City Treasury, An- thony has been his favorite city auctioneer, dis- poring of fat ferry franchises, improved city lots, and other valuables of the Corporation at public sole. He bas never exhibited any remarkable economy, and has been either in office or an ap- plicant for office for some twenty years, Would he reduce the taxes from seven millions to four? Very doubtful. The next patriot is the never-to-be-forgotten Stephen Forasmuch. or Stephen Furthermore Branch—we don't know which—Branch. Mr. Branch has been put forward by Mr. Branch ; stump nomination in fact. The Know Nothings have used him for the two last years in using ap the Chief of Police, Mr. Matecll, and now they refuse to pay him tie $5,000 which they owe him. Mr. Branch denounces the Know Nothing Jeaders for their roguery ond dishonesty, ang comes forward on his own hook. Stephen For- ever Branch will probably take as many votes as Justice Whiting, or Alderman Libby, or any of them. On the whole, we think, notwithstanding the symptoms of bitter opposition exhibited in certain quarters to Fernando Wood, that all parties are agreed at bottom to let him walk over the course, and give him a chance for other two years to carry out the reforms which he so bravely under- took two years since, but which he alleged were obstructed by the old fogies of the Corporation and the atrocious charter under which the city labors. The Financial Rottenness of Europe. The news by the Niagara puts us in posses- sion of further data regarding the failure of the Royal British Bank, and acquaints us with a heavy defalcation and embezzlement in the Crys- tal Palace Company. From France, also, we fear that the investigations begun some time since by the responsible managers of the various joint stock companies are being prosecuted with sus- tained energy, and that various rumors of further large defalcations are current. Denmark, they say, is almost ruined by the frauds which have been perpetrated in connection with her Treasury and War departments. The Continental press ap- pears to be overwhelmed with apprehension and dread of the future; the press of London calls for severe laws to put a stop to the frauds which are 80 constantly recurring. The fact is, Europe is at present at the begin- ning of one of those crises of liquidation which oecur periodically among commercial nations, and follow a long period of prosperity or excite- ment just as naturally as rain follows fine wea- ther. For several years—in some places, eight, in others nearer fifteen—the merchants of Europe have enjoyed prosperity. Everything has gone well with England since 1843, and with the Con- tinent since the revolutions of 1848. Merchants have made money, and have done more than spend it. As usual with their class, they have predicated their rate of living on a supposed constant succession of prosperous years, and are, as a class, deeply in debt to the future. So long as no trouble or doubt dimmed the horizon, they might have gone on for years, either diminishing or increasing their debt according as times were fair or the con- trary: but the first mishap or cloud was sure to bring them up standing, and the first to go were sure to be the most shaky and the least skilful. The drain of the war, to which various accidents of these latter times have been superadded, has supplied the necessary clog to the machinery: Sadlier, the Royal British Bank, the Orleans Railway Company, the Copenbagen financiers, are the advanced guard of the rank of perishables. We look to hear by each mail for some time to come of breakage after breakage, and of disaster on the heels of disaster. ah It is not to be expected that the great mer- chants of Europe, the Rothschilds, the Hopes, the Stieglitz, the Barings and others of the same rank will run the risk of failure. They belong to the class of wreckers, and are never wrecked themselves, They are the decoy ducks, by whose aid rich landowners and retired soap, or liquor, or pot and kettle merchants are induced to invest their money in enterprises which are never intended to prove remunerative, but which serve the lords of finance as an easy slide from other men’s pockets to their own. For instance, the Rothschilds and others are about to under take the construction of a system of railroads throughout Russia. This they do in the face of the fact that the English roads, through a thickly settled and highly prosperous country, have never paid legal interest on their cost, and that the French roads, like our own, have borrowed money to pay dividends. But how will it turn out? The Russian roads will be built, without doubt; and during the movements in stock at their commencement, the Rothschilds and other bankers will appear to be the chief owners. But at the time their profit- able character has been fully tested—and it ap- pears that so far from paying a decent dividend on their cost of construction they can barely pay the cost of working them—it will be seen that the Rothschilds are not shareholders, and that the whole of the property belongs to the old Boyards, who shall have paid hard cash for the same, We have seen this business at home. Our great roads and other enterprises have been undertaken in the origin by Wall street people; but the stock has very soon become distributed through- ont the people. The defalcation which we chro- nicle in another column, seems in some respect to throw light on the process. And when the day comes, which is not far distant, that the leading joint stock enterprises of this country are proved beyond question to be the worst investments that can be had—and not a few of them have delayed the evil day by practices such as were brought to light a couple of years ago in the New Haven and the Erie Railroads, and the Parker Vein Coal Company—it will then be found that the owners of the property and the victims of the disaster are not the speculators of the Exchange, but farmers, clergymen, mechanics, merchants, widows and orphans throughout the country. Tne Penxxsyivanta, Ouro ann Ixptana Octo- BER Exections.—We publish to-day the tables in detail of the Presidential election of 1852, and of the State elections of 1854-5, in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana ; and of these tables the fol- lowing are the aggregate results :— RECAPITULATION. 1862, ———, Ga tenon. ). 5 or 182.0% entry if 79,174 107,001 = 904,008 $0,001 = 87,027 99,686 419,001 = 885,119 450,905 886,119 Dem. maj’y.. 60,566 Opposition majority. 65,186 maj)’y Dem. maj. ot ise... 50,556, Opposition or Fremont gain in two years....... 116,772 Theee figures show that the popular majorities already made good against the spoils and dis- union democracy in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In- diana are heavy enough for all practical pur- poses. But our expectations do not stop here. Great popular revolutions, like this, do not go backwards—they go forwards, increasing in volume and in strength, to their culmination. We expect, therefore, on Tueeday, a shock of a popu- lar earthquake from each of these three States for Fremont, the Constitution and the Union, which will effectually silence this rabid and impudent democratic hue and cry of secession, disunion and civil war. In Pennsylvania we know that all sorts of corrupt expedients, including ballot staf- fing and colonization on a large scale, will be at- tempted by Forney & Co.; but we are confident that so strong will be the uprising of the people that Forney and his crew can’t cheat enough to heat the people of their verdict. After a care- ful of the field we are entirely confident Pennepiventa, Ohio. aad: Indice. wil thelr Governor Huyr on Fuuxore.—The fame] THB LATE which Mr. Banks has acquired from his late mas- terly effort for Fremon: in Wall street, has ex- cited a desire among the great guns of the two other parties to distinguish themselves on the same rostrum. Thus Governor Floyd, of Virginia, in behalf of the spoils and disunion democracy, demanded and secured a hearing from the Mer- chants’ Exchange; but his speech contained noth- ing of interest, except the confession of a bargain with the spoils leaders of the Know Nothings. Thus, too, Governor Hunt, in behalf of Mr. Fill- more, had the honor conceded him of a speech in Wall street yesterday, which we publish this morning, full length, for what it is worth. It is a regular old fogy speech, full of the usual old fossil whig protestationsof love and veneration for the Union and the constitution; but scarcely more edifying on the distinct issues of the present day than one of Martin Van Buren’s old mes- sages on the sub-treasury, or Governor Shannon's windy and incoherent manifesto on his late public services in Kansas. But,as Mr. Hunt’s pro- gramme for the election of Mr. Fillmore, his peech may be very interesting to that set of his New York partizans who are now debating the question whether they shall stick to Fillmore or go over to Buchanan, in order to secure the elec- tion of Brooks as Governor by the fusion of the democratic Irish Catholic vote. Gov. Hunt, we fear, comes too late to do much good. We all know that Mr. Fillmore is run- ning in the Soyth upon the platform of the Fugi- tive Slave law and of acquiescence to the ruf- fian solution of the Nebraska bill. His Southern platform is acquiescence to ruffian sovereignty and to Kansas as a slave State, if they can make itso. The more conservative of the slavehold- ing citizens of the South are, from necessity, con- tent with this, while, on the other hand, they have become alarmed at the horrors of a foreign invasion and of a servile war, in view of the terrible democratic Cuba doctrine of the Ostend manifesto; and they have also become alarmed at that other and more disastrous policy to the South, of armed rebellion and disunion in the event of Fremont’s election. Thus, thousands of Southern conservative men—slaveholders and non-slaveholders—at heart warmly sympathizing with Fremont and his cause, in order to make their hostility to the spoils and ruffian democra- cy as effective as possible, will vote for Fill more as a choice of evils; and from these acces- sions he may carry two or three Southern States. But while the Kansas platform of Mr. Fillmore in the South is pro-slavery, in the North it is hos- tility to the repeal of the Missouri compromise, or, in other words, the platform of the restora- tion of the Missouri line. Ever since his first ap- pearance on the stage asa politician, Mr. Fillmore has thus been anything or nothing as the occasion might serve. Without any fixed principles whatever, he has been an anti-mason, a bankite, a high tariffite, a froe soiler, an aboli- tionist, a Know Nothing, a pro-slavery man, and @ secession nullifier. His position now is that of a free soiler and Catholic-hating Know No- thing in New York, a disunionist at Albany, a pro-slavery whig in Virginia, a Catholic-loving, Know Nothing in Louisiana, and a Union man everywhere, provided that Fremont is not elect- ed. A political hack of this sort, ranning upon such a vagabond and roving commission as this, may be used as a last resort in one section and as a stool pigeon in another, but with all the speeches that such Union-loving and sectional party hating Fillmore men as Gov. Hunt could make in a twelvemonth, the matter would not be mended. Mr. Fillmore would still occupy the position of a wandering pedlar, selling his wares to all customers for what they will fetch in the market. Execrion Fravps iv Peynsytvanta.—It is well ascertained that a very extensive system of lawless colorizing and ballot stuffing has been arranged and will be brought to bear upon the Pennsylvania elections by the doomed and des- perate spoils democracy on Tuesday. The large sums of money that have been raised among the Buchanah financiers of this city during the last two or three weeks, have been unquestionably appropriated in this way. Yet Forney, like a re- gular thief, crying “stop thief,” warns the know- ing democracy against frauds on the part of the enemy. Itis.a shallow device to cover up his own nefarious schemes and arrangements for wholesale cheating on election day. Let the op- position forces, especially of Philadelphia, pre- pare not only to preserve the purity of the bal- lot box against perjured outsiders, but prepare for the defence of their own rights at the polls, and they will achieve a peaceable and triumpb- ant election. All eyes are turned upon Pennsy!- vania; but Philadelphia is the point where vigi- lance will be most required. Let every freeman buckle to the work. Tut Orena Break Down.—TrovsLe Aneap.— We understand that it is intended to hold a meet- ing of the stockholders of the Academy of Music at an carly day next week, in order to express a public opinion on the conduct and speech of Max Maretzek in his sudden termination to the recent Opera season. The President of the association, Mr. Phalen, will return from Newport in the com- mencement of the week, and the meeting will probably be held about Wednesday or Thursday next. Much feeling is expressed in fashionable circles in reference to the conduct of the late manager, and we must expect to witness a good deal of angry excitement on the subject before the crisis shall have terminated. In the midst of this confusion and uproar why does not the cele- brated Mr. Fry turn up again, and let us have a chance of giving him another trial as an Opera manager in this city?
