If the elec- tions yet to be held result as in 1854, when the op- position carried everything almost their own way, the House will stand in the Thirty-fifth Congress, 121 democrats to 113 opposition. Th: spect is ‘that the democrats will secure a working majority over all others. The steamer City of Savannah sprung a leak @uring a violent gale oa Tuesday last, when off Cape Hatteras, on her passage from Savannah for Baltimore, and in spite of the exertions of the crew she sunk on Thur-diy. The officers and crew were taken off by the berk Sylph, and arrived at Balti- more on Saturday night. The City of Savannah, formerly the Freeman Rawdon, was valued at $30,000, and her cargoat $70,000. The former was ineure i for £20,000, and it is believed the latter was. also insured. Ts was reported at New Orleans on the 13th inst that the steamer Perseverance, of the New Oricans and Texas line, was destroyed by fire in some Texan port on the 3d inst. The pilot beat A. B. Neilson came in contact with the pilot boat Jalia on Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, when three miles S, 5. E. 0: ghtship. The .Jalia was struck abaft the beam, and senk in fifteen minutes after the collision. Her crew took to the boats, and were picked ap by the Neilson. The N. bad her jibstay carried away and received neme damage to her cutwater and forefoot. No little excitement prevailed down town yeste @ey, in consequence of the mysterious disappearance ‘of a young end fashionably dressed female from on board one of the Atlantic street Brooklyn ferry boats. She went on board the boat about three o'clock in the morning, and ber strange manner aud extreme agitation attracted the attention of (be @eck band and two gentlemen, who were the only passengers. Before reaching the Brooklyn side of the river she possed out of the cabin, and though quickly followed, no trace of her could be disco- vered. Doubtless she precipitated herself into the river; bot who she was, and onder what circum- stances she at that unseasonable hour committed felf destruction, is a mystery. We bave heretofore printed a statement of the ci:cumstan*es attending the aftair of honor between Mr. Pryor, of the Richmond Enqwirér, and Mr. Be. verly B. Botts, farnished to the public by Mr. Chis- man, the second of Mr. Pryor on that occasion, ond today we lay Tefore our readers a history of the atair published by Mr. Smith, the friend of Mr. Botts. Mr. Chisman, in his narrative, pretty broadly hinted that the Botts party put the police on the scent, thereby cansing the arrest of the belligerents before they could get a crack at each other; and he Likewise stated that young Botts’ physical condition was euch as to render him an unfit subject to be shot at. These points are stoutly rebutted by Mr. Smith, and letters from several persons cognizant 0° the affair are appended to the statement, show og that Mr. Chieman was altogether wrong in both par- ticnlars. We publich in another part of to-day's paper a let- ter from our correspondent at Granada, Nicaragus giving en woount of Gen. Walker's movements, and a history of what has ocenrred in the republic since his retseat from Leon, in June last, together with some interesting extracts from our files, received by the steamer Texos, which arrived at this port on fatarday fram Sen Juan del Norte via Norfolk, where she put in for supplies, having been detained en the voyage by violent gales. The valine of foreign foods imported at the port of Boston doring the week ending Oct.17, amounted fo 63,068. ‘The salce of cotton on Saturday reacted about 1,000 bales, closing dull and irregular, and in some lines ata full {e. decline.

The political revolution which was generated in 1853, and continued to increase and swell with astounding strides for nearly three years, has met with a counter revolution, which isfirst evidenced in the recent elections in the States of Pennsylva- nia and Indiana, end which throws the whole contest into a more entangled condition than we emember to have witnessed at apy Presidential contest for thirty years, The last returns from Pennsylvania seem to indicate that the democrats beve carried the State by not less than four thousand majority; while the telegraphic accounts from Indiana give the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Legisla- ture all to the democracy. These returns are not absolutely reliable, and may be largely modified by futher intelligence; but there is enough in the results already before us to show that a most prc- digious effort bas been made by the democracy, both North and South, to create a counter-revol: - tion in their favor, and to stem back the tide of which the first rolling waves overwhelmed them at the late elections in Maine, Iowa and Ver- mont. Unexampled efforts have been made, both by speakers and writers in the North as well as the South, to work upon the national feeling of the commercial classes in the central State. One after’ another, Southern democratic Governors, democratic Senators and democratic office- holders under the general government, have been prompted to threaten the North with disunion in case of the defeat of the democratic candidate; no considera tion of decency, of loyalty, ef common respect for the North, was allowed to interfere with the business of bullying the Northern merchants into the support of Mr. Buchanan. No doubt, to us, the threats of disunion, the talk of civil war aud forced marches on Washington appear very poor and sorry stuff ; but no matter how sorry and ab- surd they were, they indicated a diseased state of the public mind in the South; and that diseased state of mind was enough to alarm the commer- cial classes in the central States, where nearly all the commercial interests of the country are con- centrated. To this cause we must undonbtedly ascribe the sudden check of the popular revolu- tion, and the recent probable victories in Penn- sylvania and Indiana. These, however, are mere ekirmishes—the pre- .: liminaries of the great battle to be fought on the first Tuesday in November. The moral effect of the recent elections will tell in favor of Mr. Ba- chanan and the democracy ; and it will be felt more expecially in the central states—New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iincis—all, except perbans, Ohio. If, atthe great onset of next month, the administration and the democra- cy can follow up the advantage they have alrea- dy gained, aud bring their whole forces to bear with vigor upon these central States, they may probably carry them all, and thus not only elect Buchanan triumphantly, but also elect amajority of Congress, pledged in support of the views and principles embraced by the democracy in the present contest. These views and prineip! markable char x. The and a democratic majority once to the winds of the North ia rence to slavery, and all their aime with regard to ite non-extension. Such a result as this would, sourse, establish slavery in | plete the work begun by Jeffereon Davis and Mr. Pierce: it would contirm avd inaugurate the doctrines of the Ostend manifesto, and wonld proclaim to the world that the government of the United States, with the and deliberate on of the people of the xd States, was rest from its owners Cuba, or auy forei, dependency whose acquisition it chose to consider desirable for the dae de- velopement of this country and its destined march among nations. Instead of a few dough- faces,*bere and there, as the democratic mem- vers from the North, who supported the re- peal of the Missouri compromise, were called, it would be found that the whole of the central States of the Union were doughface States Phere results, produced by the panic aroused about the Union. and the absolute necessity of keeping the South im the confederacy by sup- porting its measures and electing ite nominees, would at least settle the history of the country for many years to come, and would give to the democracy an ascendancy which, with the least pradence, they might retain for four or five Presidential terms. Furtber inquiry into the causes of the sudden check received by the popular revolution with which Fremont has become identified, discloses a variety of flaws in the organization and disi- pline of the revolutionary party itself. Instead of laboring harmoniously and zealously for the defeat of the democracy, the opposition has frit- tered away its strength in conflicts of its own, dividing its forces between two candidates, and wasting its energies on ridiculous iasvee, such as the religion, the identity, and the birth-place of its chief candidate, instead of entering into a statesmanlike discussion of the high questions of policy depending on the iseue laid before the peo- ple. The press and the politicians have been equally at fanit, The nomination of Fremont at first received a vast and sudden popularity by the effortsof the independent press radiating from this metropolis, But, unfortunately, there follow- ed e backward, and one might almost think, a treacherous movement, on the part of the politi. ciane of the same party, whose Influence seems to ave been exercised, sometimes openly, some: times secretly, to defeat Colonel Fremont. Add to these the foolish looal nominations that have been made, incoherent stump speakers and inju- dicious newspaper support, and something will be seen of the canses which have marred the prosperity of that opposition, which, two years ago, was so strong. 20 coherent, so fall of promise of ultiniate ene Then what is to be done the triumph and e} m of Buchanan, and an equal triumph in the Honse of Re tatives. in- volving, a¢ a matter of course, the forcible acquisi- tion of Cuba and the establishment of slavery in Kansas, but some new and energetic policy on the part of all the friends of Fremont, including the honest rank and file who snpport Fillmore. If Fillmore remains another week in the field, it will merely be done in the hope of snpporting Bechanan, ond the triumph of pro-stavery. That will he decisive, and we may as well prepare for that peewlt as for any other sare of ® very re- ory of Bucuanan ngress, sweep at in ¢ and to oblivion all the efforts sant prepared to Nothing can prevent ‘The latest accounts from Paris—which is now the centre of financial operations on the Conti- nent of Hurope—report that the bankers appre- hended that the Bank of France was on the point of suspending payment. The step, in their opin- ion, had been rendered imperative by the drain, first of gold, to unknown heards, second, of silver to Vienna, Hamburg and China; by the heavy loss entailed upon the bank by the required importations of gold from England—amounting to 1 per cent on say eight millions of dollars per week” for several weeks; and by the impossibility of resorting to the usual recourse of monetary insti- tutions, and curtailing the accommodation afford- «d by the Bank to operatore on the Bourse. They urged that if the bank suddenly refused to con tinue to carry these operators along, restricted ber line of discounts, in short, to the point which would be fixed upon here in a like emergency, a tnancial revulsion would occur, which would con- vulse France, and probably overthrow the gov- ernment. Therefore they inferred that for his own sake, the Emperor would compel the bank to suspend specie payments, and would again de- clare her paper a legal tender. It may be observed, en passant, and before we examine the character of the premises on which this conclusion rests, that the authors of this theory give Louis Napoleon credit for a very short-sighted wisdom. If the bank suspended, she would not only continue to accommodate speculators, as heretofore, but would in all pro- bability, considering the ease with which the thing could be done, enlarge her line of discounts. Again, before long, the government will need money; evidently, if the bank is a non-specic paying concern, the simplest way of getting it would be to authorize a new issue of a hundred or two hundred millions. In a word, if the bank suspended, though she migbt in a certain way and a certain place avert the impending storm, it would clearly be at the cost of the future; the crisis of 1856-67 can only be escaped by render- ing a future crisis perfectly inevitable and far more severe. Now, to suppose that Louis Napo- leon, with his dynastic schemes, would thus pur- chase a day's peace at so fearful a cost for the morrow, is to give him very little credit for sagacity, It is to intimate that his rejoicings over the birth of his heir were not sincere, However, we are quite prepared to show, that under any circumstances, there is no reasonable likelihood of a suspension of the Bank of France. In the first place, the rate of interest has just been raised to six per cent. There is no doubt but this bas cansed very considerable inconre- nience, bas tightened the market, and has proved a rerious trouble to mercantile men. And it is equally certain that it has pro tan relieved the hank—though of course in the present condition of that institution it will not suffice to extric te it from impending embarrassments. Now if it had been the intention of the Emperor to compel the bank to suspend, would he have begun by fol- lowing the contrary policy? There sere two paths open to him; the one was to have the bank sue- pend; the other to let the bank protect itself, by adopting stringent measures to retain its spe- cie in its vaulta) On due reflection, Louis Na poleon seems to have decided on the latter; the bank bas raised her rate of interest to six; is it reasonable to suppose that the Empero: will now alter his policy, turn round upon what he has done, and try the other method? We think not, at leant for the poeneub ‘There is another point of view in which the evil of the «.spension of the Bank of France must be assumed to be conetantly studied by the Emperor. Finencially considered, the French people, like their neighbors, divide into two classes—epecu- Jators on the Bourse and non-speculators. The former class comprises that small circle o° men who live by gambling in stocks and by getting up Credits Mobil ers and other swindles, and the daily agi#; the latter comprises all the rest of the French—that isto say, the people who ac- quire and use money solely for the purpose of purchasing the commodities they require. Now, the suspension of the Bank of France would af- fect these two classes differently. The specula- tors would be benefitted by it, for it would make money casier, and would enable them to carry their stocks, and keep their bubbles afloat; but the people at large would be seriously injured — first, by the depreciation of what notes they might have on hand at the time; secondly, by the check given to trade and the uncertainty of exchanges; and thirdly, by the general distrast which such a step would create both at home and abroad. Operaters on the Bourse would under- stand well enough that if the bank enspended, with =pecie equal to one-third ber circulation, she would be really in a much stronger position after than before the suspension; but the country people, the merchants of Havre, Bordeaux, Nantes and Marseilles; the manufacturers of Lyons and Lille, the storekeepers of Paris, would not reason thus. They would call a suspen- sion a failure; they would consider themselves half ruined by the bare announcement of the stoppage of the bank; and with French feverish- nese, aggravated by a disastrous financial expe- rience of a full century, they would be quite likely to tern round upon Napoleon, and lay upon bis shoulders the blame of the accident. It would in all probability ripen them for a revolu- tion. Driven, therefore, to choose botwoen sacri- ficing one of the two clasees~ecither the men of the Bourse or the people of France—it seems that the Emperor can hardly hesitate without egregions folly. No doubt, by throwing the financicts overboard, serious inconveniences would follow; money would become very viringent indeed; the bank would be obliged to continue to borrow six or eight or ten mil- ‘ions of dollars in gold per week from England, ata serious loss to herself; silver would con- tinue for a time to be amassed in the vaults of Austria, Prossia and Russia; trade would be curtailed; many, very many of the existing in- dustrial enterprises in France wonld go to pieces, the Credit Mobilier might fail, and so would several of the bankers; more frauds like that of the Northern Railway would come to light; and for some days, perhaps weeks, ureat alarm and agitation would exist in the capital, and be propagated to England and the iest of the world, Perhaps—who knows?—the consequences might be more serious than these; but, taking a calm view of the facte, it hardly ecms reasonable to expect anything worse than the picture we have drawn. Between that pic- ture and the almost certain revolution which a sw pension would b2 likely to cause, there is no comparison; nothing short of insanity could ac- count for the Emperor's preferring the latter courre, We think, therefore, that the prevailing omer that the Bank of e~ is going to sus- j end is not wel) founded ; and we are prepared ) to hear of continued stringency and repeated commercia) disasters both in France and Ger- many, and also in London, for several mails to come. Fricut oF tae Fremoyrers.—We have re- ceived several lettere from various quarters, se- verely reflecting upon our course in telling the exact truth in relation to the present campaign, and which truths have, it seems, created a tremen- dous panic in the Fremont camp. Among others we have the following :— 12 M.—Scpay, Ocr. 19, 1856. *.: Error -— for Sens pd new fps idea that you up p ibe of Col. Fremont. 1 came last night fon Boston; his there are hopeful. I went there op augur parties io New York i as Pennsylvania, ond I sill mink, we This missive is from a female worker in the cause, and one of the most efficient workers, She has lately returned from California, and is now devoting her energies to politics in this section, with mach vigor and effect. She is mistaken, bowever, in supposing that we give up the elec- tion of Fremont. We never give up anything. We state facts and truths, and deduce natural con- clusions from passing events. We endeavor to rouse up the friends of the cause, and we point the finger of scorn at the traitors who have be- trayed it. © During the last three weeks probably a million of dollars have been spent by the two parties in Pennsylvania. It is supposed that the democra- cy bas expended at least six or seven hundred thousand, and the balance by the republicans or Fremonters—the Fillmore party merely holding the bag, helping themselves to the funds when- ever they could get a chance, and doing no work. These Americans, or Know Nothings, are unmitigated Jeremy Diddlers. In Pennsylvania they have been actively engaged in selling out the Know Nothing lodges to the best bidders, at private sale; and if they could not get a customer in that way, they would put them up at auction. We are also informed that, in some cases, the Fillmore leaders have sold out the same identical lodges to both sides, and thus diddled the Fremont and Buchanan party at one blow. The truth of the matter is, that the lead- ers of the remaining fragments of the broken down, used up Know Nothing party, both here and in Pennsylvania, are now filling their pockets with the money subscribed to carry on the cam- paign by the two great parties. During the coming fortnight, five millions of dollars will be spent to carry on the war in the central States, where the contest is to be decided. By the central tates, we mean New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl- yania, Indiana and T)linois, Ait these States ara now doubtful, although the democrats protest that they can carry them over the combined forces of the Americans and the Fremonters. The friends of Colonel Fremont must carry all these States, except New Jersey, to clect their candidate, with Obio, the New England and some of the Western States, which they expect to have easily. Now, this prospect of five millions of dollars opens a most splendid field of opera- tions for t.e Kuow Nothing politicians. It will keep them in bread and butter for the next four years, and furnish the oil to smooth their party machinery and keep it running for the same joa There wever was such w veudible party as that which is now grasping at the fands to be used in the central States, where the great Presi- dential battle is to be fought. It is composed of the shattered fragmente, odds and ends of the old parties for the last thirty years, and the intrigues of its leaders—their buying und selling, with their avarice, corruption and want of all principle, save that of the al- mighty dollar—presents a singular and remarka- ble instance of political and moral turpitude. Niccer Srock mw Nicaracva,—While Gen. Pierce is endeavoring to force flavery into Kan- sas at the point of the bayonet, his democratic ally, Gen. William Walker, has succeeded in doing the same thing in the republic of Nicara- gua. Slavery was abolished in Central America nearly forty years ago, and a decrce re-affirming its abolition forms part of the constitution of 1838. This decree has recently been declared null and void by Gen. Walker, and all the South- ern fire-eaters are at liberty to take their slaves into Nicaragua. Thus slavery extends South and Woet, and the real policy of the nigger-driving democracy is daily becoming more apparent, This Nicaragua dgerce is made, says one of our correspondents, for the particular benefit of Mr. Pierre Soulé, who one of the prime advo- cates of Mr. B at Cincinnati, and who has since purchased a plantation near Granada for fifty thousand dollars. Probably he will select some first rate Virginia niggers, fresh from the plantations of Gov. Wise, or some of his friends, to work upon this new plantation, and give the Nicaraguenses some new ideas upon re- publican governments, Cuba and Central America will cut up splendidly for the South, and our Massachusetts friends must be wary, or the boast of Senator Toombs—that he would yet call the roll of his slaves under the shadow of Bunker Hill Monument—may be verified. Our down East friends must be careful, or the nigger drivers will steal a march upon them. Tne Risk ww me Nioorn Manxer.—Sever.] recent events have made nigger stock look a lit- tle more lively, and we should not be surprised if some of Governor Wise’s “cbo shin, gizzard foot” fellows went up to the figure he marked for them some months since. The recent election in Penn- sylvania bas put heart into the Southern dealers in this pleasant article, and we presume that Governor Wise, expecting the triumph of Mr. Buchanan, will consent to remain in the Union a little while longer—at least until all the offices are distributed to his family connections and par- ticular friends, In the meantime, should his party prevail in the Presidential contest, that little af- fair of the Chevalier Brooks, who was going to Waehington to take the cash on hand and the books of the concern, previous to a dissolution of partnership, must be indefinitely postponed. But if there is no enterprise open to his aspiring soul in that direction, we would direet the Che- valier Btooks’ attention to Cuba, where visions of glory will burst on his admiring gaze. Cuba is, of course, to be taken when Mr, Buchanan is eleeted, according to the Cincinnati platform and the Ostend manifesto. There will be a splendid opening in the nigger trade there, and Brooks & Co. must be prepared for it. Captain-General Concha may a8 well get ready his traps to leave the ever faithfal island at once. We give him fair warning that if the Chevalier Brooks and his Southern fire-eaters find the Marquis at Havana they will cot him adrift at exgeedingly short no- tice, Tar Orens War—Tue Cry 13 Sm Tuer Comx !—We published yesterday a card from a stockholder who represented the bulls, and threw in a bulletin in favor of Maretzek, while to- day we give a bombshell from the camp of the bears, in which everybody connected with the Opera, from the redoubtable Max himself down to the smallest chorus singer, is entirely used up and set on one side to cool. This com- munication comes to us from a highly respectable source—in fact, from the inaccessible retreats of the most refined, perfumed, exquisite codfish aristocracy. We trust that it will receive that profound attention from the public which any- thing emanating from such a highly rarified atmosphere should command. ‘The writer of this counter-blast says that he has been behind the scenes; some presume he has bad an inside view of everything, and culti- vated the acquaintance of the prettiest of the ballet girls. However, he pitches into Maretzek with a degree of vigor altogether unequalled, un- less by Branch’s attacks on the Chief of Police, and tells us that hereafter the Opera is to he economically managed, which is refreshing, and we hope will prove to be true. The war is growing very hot, and though par- tially eclipsed by the excitement attendant upon the Presidential contest, yet it is still quite ex- citing, and the warmest interest is felt in it by all the old and young ladies about town, and the shopkeepers in Broadway. We cannot see what either party is driving at, and amid all the con- fusion it is difficult to form an opinion as to the real merits of the case; but, at all events, it ap- pears that we shall have no more Opera for two months at least. The fashionable world, how- ever, will not be at a loss fora greater light in the musical world than ever yet appeared at the Academy-—Sigismand Thalberg will shortly com- mence his concerts at Niblo’s Saloon.
