New York, Sanday, October 12, 1856. The News. Imteresting letters from our correspondents at London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin, together with ‘the speech of Minister Dallas before the Hertford- shire Agricultural Society, are published in to-day's paper. The New York correspondent of the Lon- don Tisnes gives a graphic description of the confu- ston which daily occurs in the business thoroughfares of our city, owing to the transaction of such an immense traffic within our narrow limits. His hints relativeto a remedy, by the construction of docks for warehousing goods, and the keeping of stores merely a¢ sample rooms, are worthy of attention. Another badget of letters from our correspondents im Pennsylvania, giving some interesting particulars ef the progress of the Presidential campaign in ‘that State, may be found in another part of today’s paper. Politics in the old Keystone are now at white heat. There bas been nothing further done inthe case ef the supposed slave bark Panchita, except that Mr. Dalrymple, the Secretary of the Mixed Com- mission on the African coast, bas had his baggage delivered to him without being searched, on his making an affidavit as to its contents. We are in- formed that the credit of the seizure of this vessel —which was effected by Deputy Marshals De Ao- gelisand Nevin—is due to Mr. J. L. Degraw, the Clearance Clerk in the Naval Office, who promptly communicited his suspicions to the United States District Attorney and Marshal Hillyer. Mr. Degraw has di+pleyed sagacity and energy in this matter, and bas proved himself worthy of his office. Elsewhere we copy from a Cincinnati paper a couple of documents proving beyond al! question a coalition between the Buchanan and Fillmore lead- ers in Ohio. The Treasurer of the Relief Society at Fort Ha- milton acknowledges the receipt of $2,009, subscribed im aid of the yellow fever sufferers at that place. Mr. Charles E. Sears, the Treasurer, has himself been attacked by fever, but is now convalescent. The report of the City Inspector exhibits a fur- ther improvement in the public health. The list of deaths during the past week shows a decrease of 44, as compared with the week previous. Of diseases ‘of the stomach, bowels, and other digestive organs alone, the decrease is 36. Ia other respects there is nochange of importance to note. The following shows the mortality of last week and the week previous :— Men, Women, Boys Girls.

Middling uplands closed at About 1c. per i». Flour was firmer, and closed at an advance of about Se. per barrel. Wheat was steady, with fair sales of red at $1 45 a $1 62—the latter figure for choice—and white at $1 60 a #1 61.4 $1 62 for South- ermand Western white. Corn was sold moderately at @c. a OTe. Pork was in rather better demand, with er'ee of mest at $2050 a $20 62}. Sugars were papain quite active, and soi at full prices, part to refiners and part to jobbers, with probably some lots on speculation. Coffee was quiet. Freights were unchanged, ‘with moderateengagements, The Artful Doager—™r. ‘Finmere an the Kansas Issuc—An Artful Dodge to Bodge tt. Of all the characters in a great, political ques- tion like the present, that of theartful dodger is the meanest and most coptemptible. Tho-bloody border roffian, the rampant Southern disunionist, the fanatical abolitionist, the reckless democratic spoilsman and bruiser, may be classed among the despicable disorganizers of the day ; but»ihey at least have the merit of a decided position in re- ference to the main issues of the battle. We know where to find them; but the artful dodger, who is anything or nothing as the occasion may re- quire, is the meanest of all the mean plotters for office and plunder. To this low standard of de- preciation has Mr. Fillmore fallen in the political market. He is an artful dodger—he is anything or nothing as may serve his purpose. Read his late Southern letter, whieh we publish elsewhere in these columns, and his appended views upon the Missouri compromise and the affairs of Kansas, Was there ever such paltry dodging since the ‘letter of Martin Van Buren aad the Cincinnati platform’? In this amiable Southern letter, slip- pery as an eel, Mr. Fillmore speaks of “all the sacrifices I have made to maintain the constitu- tional rights of the South” —: after all I have dune to maintain her constitutional rights.” But we ask, what in the name of com- ' mon sense has he done for either side in the way of sacrifices? He has sacrificed a smaller office for a larger office all the way through. When President, he sacrificed his personal ene- mies to make room, in good fat offices, for his personal friends, signed the bills paesed by Con- gvess, permitted the last fatal Lopez expedition to get off to Cuba, and allowed spoliations to be committed upon the treasury to the extent of many a hundred thousand dollars. We are sorry to say, however, that the distinguished more men implicated in the profits of the great Gard- ner swindle of more than half a million, were never sacrificed at all. So much for Mr. Fillmore’s “sacrifices.” Next for his principles. He says, “I am for the whole Union, North and South, East and West.” Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, will endorse this sen- timent; but he is frank enough to give us his con- ditions; so with Pierce and Buchanan and the democratic party; so with Gerritt Smith, the abolition candidate. Even Lloyd Garrison is for the Union, North, South, East and West, if you will adopt his measures upon the slavery question. Upon the subject of the restoration of the Missouri compromise, Mr. Fillmore tells us that that thing being utterly impracticable, he is in favor of establishing the people of the Terri- tories “ultimately in the right of determining the character of their own institutions, without in- timidation by mobs and without interference from the States.” This platform for Kansas is very cloudy. What does Mr. Fillmore mean by “ultimately?”’—that the people of Kansas have no intermediate power over the institution of slavery, or what?) What does he mean by mobs’—and what by State interference? Mr. Pierce and his border ruffian party have pursued and punished the Northern Kansas Emigrant Aid Societies asthe mobs of Kansas; and they have been denounced rom one end of the country to the other by the Buchanan democracy and Fillmore organs as £0 many “interferences from the States.” But while the position and platform of the Pierce administration and the democratic party are clearly established by their acts as the policy of making Kansas a slave State by force of arms, Mr. Fillmore still sits astride the fence. In the South his views may be construed against the free State settlers of Kansas; in the North in favor of those settlers; and we presume that he has writ- ten these views with the deliberate object of a double construction, to suit both sides of Mason and Dixon's line. This is what we call the mean and deceptive policy of the “artful dodger.” It is the thimble-rigger’s trick of the little joker, or the paltry game of the patent safe. Mr. Fillmore upon one point is consistent. In fact, there was no escape from it. He had com- mitted himself too far in advance to fall back. It is upon the question of the policy and expe- diency of the repeal of the Missouri compromise, He condemns it as hotly as ever; bat he ac- quiesces, and puts in the most cloudy and unsatis- factory exposition we have ever seen of the “ulti- mate’’ doctrine of popular sovereignty. Substan- tially it is the plea of the Pierce administration; but Mr. Pierce and the democracy have proved what they mean by their acts. The policy and practical matter of fact views of Mr. Fillmore, in reference to Kansas as a slave State, or Kansas as a free State, are studiously kept out of sight. As he says, however, never a word or a syllable in the shape of a pro- test against the bloody policy of this Pierce ad- ministration in Kansas; as he is conveniently dumb concerning that bogus Missouri Legisla- ture, its infamous laws, and the atrocious pro- ceedings of the democratic officials of Kansas, civil and military, to enforce those laws, we must conclude that Mr. Fillmore acquiesces in this ruf- fian policy of making Kansas a slave State by fire and sword. We are the more impressed with this conclu- sion from the deplorable position of Mr. Fillmore asa Presidential candidate. He is the modern Don Quixotte upon his travels to save the coun- try. In a serious, practical view, we can only re- gard him in Georgia as the Knight of the Sor- rowful Figure, and in New York as the squire of James Buchanan. Let us await the develope- ments from the people of the great States of Pennsylvania, Obio and Indiana, on Tuesday next. They will probably open the eyes of the Sage of Buffalo, and bring this outside Fillmore movement to a speedy solution. Braxcw’s Maxtresto.—We publish this morn- ing the document of the season—the manifesto of the stump candidate for the Mayoralty, Stephen Hi. Branch. It will be read with the attention that is due to the fame of the writer, and to the gravity of the charges he brings against the par- ty of the Know Nothings. That Mr. Branch has been swindled by that party; that they engaged him, agreed to pay him, and afterwards backed out, is made too clear to admit of any doubt: and the only possible inference is cither that the party is not worth five thousand dollars, or that itis the most shamelessly dishonest of all the parties of the day. We incline to the former opinion. In view of the approaching dissolution of Know Nothingism in the arme of Fillmoreand Brooks, no doubt the members are loath to pay out money: perhaps the whole batch of the poli- ticlane, from Brooks to Seroggs, are not worth $5.000 In view of the hard treatment of Mr. Branch we hope the people will give him due conside- ration. He isa far abler man than Mr. Barker, ang woyld make @ fay better Mayor. and so of the North, t understand that the same set of patriots who were beaten both in the General Committee and Nomi- nating Conventions at Tammany Hall, met on Friday evening last in the oyster cellar of Windust, and proceeded to fill up their city ticket, headed by Libby for Mayor. The leaders of the oyster house are James M. Smith, Jr., Horace F. Clark and John R. Briggs, each of whom are regular democratic candidates for Congress, and yet have started up a bogus demecratic ticket in Windust’s oyster cellar. They have probably done so to show how dexterously they can manage to defeat themselves, and how nicely they can jump Jim Crow up town, down town, around town, and all over town. Whether or not Sickles assisted at this oyster house patriotic re- union we have not learned. These fellows are the same that were crushed out at Tammany by the redoubtable Fernando Wood, but have since received regular nominations for Congress. They are trying to be regular on the Congressional ticket, but at the same time are getting up .an oyster house nomination in opposition to the re- gular city ticket put forth by Tammany. Sickles has also received their nomination in the Third Congressional district. It was a sort of mock auction affair, and was knocked down to him as asort of Peter Funk, there being no one who would lay down the hard cash for the sake of be- ing ingloriously beaten. The eyster cellar convention nominated as a candidate for the office of City Judge a Mr. Pin- ney, and also gamed several other persons to fill up the city ticket. We understand that Mr. Pinney has been heretofore considered a respect- alfie man. He has sat on the bench, somewhere in the country, but it was atailor’s bench. Find- ing&is ambition soaring above his thrifty voca- tion, and being anxious to be considered some- thing more than the ninth part of a man, he dropped his shears and went into a lawyer's office, where he picked up some bits of Black- stone, -and then came to this city—where all the great prizes for political patriots are served out —and sete himself up as a candidate for City Judge. He is still determined to sit on the bench and manage suits. Formerly it was a tailor’s bench—~now it is the Bench of the Court of Ses- sions; formerfy he managed suits of clothes, now he desires to sitin judgment upor suits at law. Politics bring strange materials together, and drag queer people up to the surface in singular ways. ‘These combinations, quarrels, uproars and turmoils among the candidates of the differ- ent factions of the democracy bode .no good for poor, unhappy James Buchanan. A Rar vr ror Go’ Rr.—A committee of printers have published a manifesto against the candidateship of Erastus Brooks, denouncing him as a rat, that is to say, a man who is always try- ing to cut down the wages of the poor printers, and to shave them out of their hard earnings. The representations of these respectable men de- serve careful attention, and we hope that every man who has known what itis to be ground down by a grasping employer, and every prin- ter especially, will remember that now they have an opportunity of repaying a portion of the poor man’s debt to Erastus Brooks. We speak thus confidently in confirmation of the authors of the anti-Brooks manifesto, because we know of our own knowledge that such is the character of both James and Erastus Breoks— that they are capable of any meanness or dirty dealing that will save them a few dollars. It is notorious that the Lzpress is mainly written and compiled by young men, chiefly foreigners, who are entrapped by one or other of the Brookses into making long agreements to work for the Express tor $5 or $6 a week. If the truth were known, the private history of the xpress news- paper would surpass, in point of atrocity of mean- ness and scurvy dealing the most abominable sto- ries that are told of the shirt manufacturers and cheap tailors. The same policy is pursued through- out. It is understood, for instance, that all the stationery consumed in the Express of- fice is obtained by Erastus Brooks from the State Senate; just as James Brooks, when he was in Congress, used to walk round the members’ desks after the sitting, pick up the pens, blotting paper and wafers that were lett there, and send them to his newspaper office for consumption, We think that if James and Erastus Brooks would pay more attention to the welfare of the upfortunates who are in their employ, so as at least to pay them their just dues, and less to the salvation of Colonel Fremont’s soul, it would re- dound to the credit of their character, and in the end would prove the most profitable policy. Seenet Fanny | ves—Nerorism.— Ex-Governor Floyd, of Virginia, who, as an ora- tor, is bardly equal to Captain Rynders, it will be recollected, rather indelicately alluded, in his written harangue, the other day in Wall street, to the expediency of a combination between the Buchananites and Fillmoreites to prevent the election of Fremont, and thereby “save the Union.” We exposed the proposition at the time as a contrivance which, if carried out, was intended to secure the failure of an election of President by the people, and throw it into the House of Representatives: and that it was hoped then to prevent the election of President by the House, and thus devolve that office upon Mr. Breckinridge, who will certainly be chosen by the democratic majority of the Senate. We suspect that Mr. Floyd had his personal family feelings to gratify by this arrangement, and that he is not heart and soul a Buchanan man, but really and truly for Breckinridge. Governor Wise, his political rival in Virginia, leads the Buchanan phalanx in that State, and doubtless expects to be one of Buchanan's Ca- binet and also to double the price of his nig- gers. Governor Floyd was originally named Jobn Buchanan Floyd, though his dislike of Buchanan, we presume, has been such in past times that he has occasionally dropped the B.; but as it stands for Breckinridge as well as Bu- chanan, we understand he has recently resumed it, Mr. Jobn Cabell Breckinridge is descended from several of the F. F. V.’s, and is a near re- lative of Gov. Floyd and also of Col. Preston, of Kentucky, who, as well as the Governor, is in the city on a fashionable tour, and it is to there two gentlemen chiefly that Mr. Breckin- ridge owes his nomination to the Vice Presiden- cy at Cincinnati—both of them being members of that Convention—it being the détat of Col. Pres- ton after his sommersault from whiggery to democracy. It is a capital thing to have good kin, as John A. King said in bis speech at Syracuse; besides, we believe Col. Preston commanded the Ken- tucky regiment in which Major Breckinridge served in Mexico; so, in addition to the tie of family relationship between him and Major B., there exists that of brothers-in-arma. We have heard, eeo, that both Goy. Floyd and Col, Preston are closely connected by marriage with the lady of Col. Fremont, and we should not be astonish- ed if that strong family attachment, so character- istic of the Virginia and Kentucky aristocracy, (we beg pardon, the democratic F. F.’s of those States) should really induce them in their inmost hearts to prefer Fremont to Buchanan. Tur Orera War—Wanar 18 To se Done with tHE AcapEemy?—We are requested by several young ladies to-inquire what is to become of them if something is not done for the perma- nent establishment of the Italian Opera? We have received numerous letters upon the sub- ject—dear, delicious, heart-breaking, rose tinted, new mown hay perfumed billet deux—and we as sure our fair correspondents, one all, old and young, handsome and ugly, that no efforts on our part shall be wanting to bring about the success of the cause nearest and dearest to their hearts and. hoops. “What,” asks one of our correspondents, “is existence to the woman of society before the party season commences, without the Opera?” ‘What, indeed! a life without a motive—a dreary waste without a vernal shrub—a desert without a single oasis. If something is not done for the Opera very shortly, we may expect to hear that some ornament of fashionable society has severed the thread of existence with the bell cord pf her own boudoir. Truly, the operatic sky looks cloudy. Phalen, the First Consul of the Academy, and Coit, the Second Consul, hold consultations with all the other Consuls, while the ex-empresario finds his Elba at the Assembly Rooms. The Fifth avenue is in great tribulation meantime, and all the splendid opera dresses are lying unused in dusty wardrobes, while all the young ladies and old ladies mourn, and, like Rachel, refuse to be comforted. The terror has even spread to the great dry goods shops, the chief losers by the close of the Academy, which was a better place for the display of their wares than even Stewart's palace itself. The Broadway dealers would find it a good investment to subecribe something hand- some for some enterprising entrepreneur to make the fiftieth attempt to establish the Italian Opera upon a permanent basis. Something must be done for the young ladies, North and South, before the Union is dissolved. What is the prospect? The terrible losses ot some of the former managers seem to have struck terror into the hearts of the most daring specu- lators. Yet the Opera pays somebody. One manager—Mr. Paine—lost, they say, from eighty to a hundred thousand dollars, and yet some of his employés bought blocks of brick houses, made European tours, kept fast horses, and other- wiee imitated thore officeholders who make large fortunes out of twenty-five hundred dollars per annum—spending at the same time five thousand ayear. This isa most splendid exercise of that financiering ability of which we have had so many remarkable instances of late. In spite of all these risks there are, we presume, some rash individuals who will, like Quintus Curtius, jump into the chasm and save their country’s Opera. The Chevalier Wikoff, upon whom several young ladies hung their hopes, hangs back. He is flying a higher kite. Until he has demo- lished Palmerston and given Louis Napoleon that splendid puff, he withdraws himself from art. The rad plight of the Opera has his sincerest +ympatby—he mourns over it, and even shed half a tear, but that soon dried up. Ullman, who might be expected to come to the rescue, is get- ting ready the concerts of Thalberg, the king of pianists, and he cannot come. Maretzek won't pay the rent, and the executive committee is dis- gusted with his oratory. All these chaps are in the position of the guests who were bidden to the wedding feast and pleaded a previous engage- ment as a reason for their non-attendance. In this dilemma we would suggest that Signor Fry should have another chance. Give him a fair field, and profiting by his past experience he may yet permanently establish the Italian Opera and save the Union. His brother is a distin- guished composer, and together they might form a combination that would be invincible. At all events, Mr. Phalen, let them try the experiment. We advise the Consuls of the Opera to_apply at once to Mr. Fry. Give him a chance. RervpiicantsM or aLt Covors.—The namea of parties and factions sometimes have singular ori- gins. Two or three years ago the members of a certain political party called themselves republi- cans, and from being opposed to African slavery they received the name of black republicans. This isa misnomer; the party which seeks to force the negroes on Kansas hy military violence are your true blacks, while the others are white republicans; but n'impore. But what shall we call the disunion and disorganizing party which now flourithes under the leadership of the Hon. Preston 8. Brooks, Governor Wiee, the Hon. Mr. Floyd, Mr. Keitt and others? They should be called the red republicans, from their marked re- semblance to the red republicans of France, who, like them, are in favor of blood, military despo- tiem, violence and rapine. So we have our black and our red republican party, and besides these we have the Fillmore party, a sort of go-between, emasculated republicans or hybrids. Mr. Seward on tHe Stemp.—The Hof William H. Seward is to speak on the stump at Poughkeepsie this week. We shall look for his speech with some anxiety, for we desire to see whether any amount of pressure can induce him to make a straight-forward, practical polit'j cal speech. Hitherto be has talked magazine articles, of no sort of practical effect or weight with the people, and many have suspected that if the candidate bad been William H. Seward, and not Jobn C. Fremont, it would have been a different matter. We shall see in a day or two what basis there may be for these conjectures. Mie-sent Letters.
