From the Ri Grande, we learn that Vidaurri had men and means sufficient to command success, and that he was very popular on both sides of the river. New Orleans Picayune of October 25, saya: —The schooner W. W. Harkness, which was dis- patched with the mails for Vera Craz, retarned last evening, having sailed from that port one day after the MeClelland, cutter, which brought the ails ‘three days since. The date is October 16th. Gene- ral Almonte, the newly appointed Minister to Eng- Yand, arrived at Vera Croz too late forthe British gteamer, and as he bad all hit family with him he eould not be accommodated on board of the Me- Clellend. He was waiting at Vera Craz for the Bpavich steamer for Havana.

An accident occurred to the express train on the Williamsport and Elmira Railroad, whe. near Cres- cent station, yesterday morning. In consequence of breaking a rail the whole train was thrown off the track. A baggage master was killed irstantly, a.d several of the passengers badly burt. A fuk list of the Presidential electors in the diffe- rent States will be found in our paper to-diy. The sales of cotton ) esterday reache1 about 300 to 400 bales. The marke‘ was still unsettled, and witbout quotable change in prices. There was a fair demand for flour, including sales for export. The market closed at about the quotations of yesterday. Wheat was in good demand at the decline, with sales of Canadian white at $1 67 a $1 69 to $1 70, end prime white [ndiana at $1 71; Western red suld at $1 52 a $1 55 a $160, and Chicago spring at $1 38. Corn was firmer, aud sales were made at 78c. a T34c. for sound Western mixed. Pork sold at 22051, a $21, Sugars were in good demand, at full prices. Coffee was steady, with moderate sales. The cargo of the Supny South consisted of 5,000 bags, instead of 3,000, as inadvertantly stated. Freights were firm and more active. Grain was taken to Liverpool at 84d. a 9d.,in bags; wheat to London, in bags, at t2d., and some 10,000 bbls. flour at 3s. Disunion Developements of the Campaign. We transfer to our columns this morning, a tremendous disunion manifesto from the Hon, Thomas L. Clingman, a prominent leader of the Buchanan democracy of the Buncombe district of North Carolina. It will be seen that, substantially, the policy of Chevalier Clingman is the policy of Chevalier Brooks, to smash up the Union and rob the Treasury should Fremont be elected. There is a slight diffurence, however, between the disunion programme of Brooks and this of Clingmaa ; for while the former, in the event of Fremont’s elec- tion, proposes to march with a thousand men io Wacrhington to rob the Treasury, and return with their plunder to Charleston, and proclaim a Southern confederacy, the latter proposes to hold on to the government, Treasury, archives, pub! buildings, army, navy, and everything, and read the Northern States out of the Union. Betwe: thee two plans, it must be admitted that th: scheme of Bully Brooks, though not quite so magnificent as that of Clingman, is more likely to commend itself to the secession conspirators, as being more simple in its details and less dangerous as a preliminary movement; while a thonsand men might, perhaps, steal a march upon the Treasury, and make good theic escape, the capture of the army and davy would be a more difficult operation. Among the most startling features of this Presi- dential campaign are these treasonable disnaioa developements, which have formed the stock in trade of the Southern Buchanan democracy, and the terrible raw-head apd bloody-bones with which they have frightened so many weak headed men and silly old w6men of the North. If therr were apy truth, or serious intention of disuaion in this secession clamor of Southern fire-eaters, then we might confidently fx the disruption of the Union at the day when they eball be displar- «d from the control of the government and the fingering of the spoile. In fact, they have warned is that such will be the case, and that they will only consider the election of Buchanan an armis If they are not permitted to continue in power, with a new lease for the spoils in 1860 then the election of Buchanan will go for nothing. for they must have everything or they will have a Southern republic of their own, where they can do as they please, It is a remarkable fact that this democratic dis unoin bue and ery in the event of Fremont’s elec- was started by the amiable Mr, Fillmore, in bis Present for ice. peech at Albany, a few days after his retarn from Europe. He had seen enough, however, iv thore few days. to see that the nomination o Fremont had broken the nose of th Know Nothing candidate, and he a1 once to have resolved upon the des rate and silly revenge of Van Buren. Nex pgular order, taking up this secession r m<nédation of Fillmore, we find euch great of the Southern Buchanan democracy as Senato Toombs, Senator Slidell (Mr. Buchanan's Lo ana filibuetering faglemaa at Cincinnati), Gove nor Wise of Virginia, Brooks, Keitt, Boyce and others of the South Carolina chivalry, aud Sena, tore Hunter and Maron, and ex-Governoy Floyd ot the Old Dominion, Forney of Pennsylvania “ riding in blood up to bis saddle girths,” J, Walker, the great Pacific Railroad financier and a vtockholder under the New York charter to the amonut of ten millions of dollara, to be paid in perbaps, when we have a ehower of old; and last, though not least, the Chevalier Clingman, ot the Buncombe district of North Carolina. a These men are amo at pack of red mouth ed, rampan eat unionists and spouter of treason who protest they are willing to mak Fremont’s election the sigual for dissolution, tn robbery of the treasury, a Southern conte In the North they bly seconded by the fanatical ab 8 of the Garrison school, whoe platform is on with slaveholders,” and who can Fre because of his attachment wo the co and the Unioo. some of the startling developements o' this campaign, of the atter corruption and reck lees desperation of the frightened demagognes aod poilkmen of the debauched democracy, and their co operating crazy abolitionists. Now, as we understand him, Mr. Buchanen cautious, timid, aalevlating man, and not very apt to run his head against a stone wall, if he can get around it or creep under it. Should he be elected, however, his inauguration will place bin n the most trying and critical dilemma which a bold and dashing young epirit could desire. He will be at once enrrounded by those master epirite 0 tm divunion and secession that will have done *o much to frighten Northern donghiace into bis support. And what will he do with thes« declaimers and plotters of treason, sedition, dis un.on and civil war? They will be around bim like a flock of hungry vultures, ravenous and clamorous for the «poila. But wnder hie oath to tupport the conetitution, what else can he do with them than to tarn them adrift? If be admits them to his confidence or favor he becomes a party to their treason. In everything but an armed con ) piracy against the government they have been guilty of treason, and the overt act they have declared will follow whenever they shall be de feated in a general election. As long us the people give them the government and the spoils they will consent that the Union shall etill exist but the instant they are displaced by the people they will revolt. The question, therefore, of the dieposition of these deeperate spoilemen will he the test from the start, should Mr. Buchanan be and a civil and servile war. upport mont titution Such len All this disunion clamor has been nothing more nor less than a desperate game for the spoils and plunder of the treasury. Taking these men at their word, however—that if the people do not give them the keys of the treasury, they will have the money by robbery—we must pro- ounce them traitors and disorganizing conspi rators, What cause have they bad for this hue and cry against Fremont? Nothing in the world but his declarations and his position in favor of Kansas as a free State, subject to the constitu- tion and the laws in its organization asa free State. He isin trath the only etrictly constitu tional and Union candidate before the country. His platform and his principles are plain, above hoard and above reproach. If a fanatical sup- porter of his claims here and there preaches a crusade against Southern rights, Fremont is perbaps not so much, and certainly no more. rerponsible for it than is Buchanan for Fill- more’s secession speech at Albany, The election is close at hand. Should the disunion and spoils democracy carry the day they will be frantic with bliss til they come to divide the spoils, and then the trouble will begin for the spoils won't bold out. Let Mr. Buchanan beware lest in the appointment of bis Cabinet he commits the fatal blunder of Pierce, in tarniny over his administration to the secession spoilsmen of his party. The democracy, too, it successful in this contest, will have obtained a remarkable victory ; but it will be like the first repulse of 2 powerful army from a city under siege. It wil! disclose to the assailants the true points of attack. and a system of rega.ar approaches, under which the beleaguered democracy must capitulate or be inevitably destroyed. A Sessions Lawyer at the Academy of Music. We republish in another column te epeech o! ex-Judge Whiting at the Academy of Masic, as reported, or at least revised by himself. We re- publish it at his own request; he considers no doubt that a second publication of his first cam paign speech will ensure bis success at this elec- tion, And we do 60, likewise, because we are desirous that the people of New York should fully appreciate the intellectual ealibre and the social standing of the candidate who claims their suflrages on the ground of pointless municipal refoom. What Mr. Whiting has been we all know Even persons the least familiar with the courts bove been there, or bave had friends who have been there, on the occasion of a display of “ Little Bitters.” Perhaps every adult New Yorker has heard of the matchless impudence and ferocity with which he was wont to bully an unfortunate prisoner or a reluctant witness, Snap, of the well known firm of Quirk, Gammon & Snap, Old - Bailey lawyers, has been compared to Mr. Whiting, as he was in hie best days; but poor Suep, though in manner, as Warren describes him, he must have resembled Mr, Whiting, had a knowledge of men which the exJudg has net; and besides, he was far from setting the overweening estimate upon bis own abilities which Mr. Whiting seems to place upon bis, Snap had his faults; poor dog we believe that he was hanged at last (which, up to the present time, constitutes a further dif- erence between him and ex-Jdudge Whiting): but Snap never set up for Mayor, ov the ground of bis long intimacy with thieves and pickpockets, and his familiarity with the jargon of session courts and foot pads. Still, allowing for the difference in favor of Snop, many persons think Whiting modelled bimeelf upon bm; and no doubt the resemblance ix traceable. Such, then, is the person ie is pat forward by the Municipal Re (so called) to fill the office of Mayor of this ¢ city; and sncb are bis claims to the votes of the peo- ple. The speech which we publish elsewhere shows to what extent these claims are still jas tified, To expect that a man whose experience hn been that of Judge Whiting could be a refines gentleman or a courteous speaker, would be perhaps unreasonable: by dint of butly- ing pickpockets, and frightening poor, half- starving women into fits, even the mildest man will acquire brotal habits and a brutal t The utmost that could have been exp would have been that Judye Whiting control bis patural propensities, and prose cautious reserve on occasions of public impor- tance. But there was reason to hope that a mau who bad filled so many couspicuous stations a Judge Whiting, and who must, ow ald think have been quite fre into nication with pelshed woald bave learnt when and where wa place to give the reins toa brutal temper, and before whut soc onmmnu- out of indulge in course or profane laogu gret to find, from the where, that thirty years’ quired at what cost of « and faithlersness to men 4 ran office seeker of Tan himself, bave not tanght the ¢ ge this «imp! elementary leson of worldly wiedom.

Itis the groan, and the growl and the whine of the sessions lawyer, the petty prosecutor of drunken Lrishwomen, when brought face to tace with the truth and the people: aad if Judy Whiting had never done anything bat epeak it and repeat it at the minor theatres, ae b dy ing—he would have proved himee)f utterly wuiit to fill a position in which he » be called uy ou to represent New York. James Beewanxan’s Prosreet rs mm Stars ov New York.—We published the other day an estimate of the vote of this State, as drawn hy the best democratic authority, and tending to show that they would carry State for James Bochasan by a small majority over Fromont From what we see bere, we are hardly incline to think that our Albany correspondent is as well informed as he purported to be. For instance, the city of New York has always been given to Buchanan, but latterly, since Mr. Robert J, Dillon, Mr. J.B. Marray, Mr. Havomeyer, Mr. Jobn McKeon, and some say Mr. A 1 and others, have deserted the regular democratic nominations and thrown their weight into the opposition ecale, ly that the it seem Fremont party will carry the day We find, for instance, ip the New York 77 . an aceoant of a meeting held recently in» room in the Astor House, onder the presidenc volpal pre for of that paper, for the of organ ing the opposition forces against the rogular de mocratic nominee, At thot meeting, Me. JV Murray, Mr. Robert J. Dillon, Mr. Joun MeKeon, clected—the test, we repeat, of the wisdom or ! and others, were present, and endeavored to pateh wp ap alliance with the republicans or the Know Nothings for the defeat of the democracy. It does not appear that they have succeeded ; but they may do £0; and their success, though only in- tended to have an effect in ths city, would ob- viously be felt in the whole State, and might give the State to Fremont. Orgratic Prosrects—A New Dmecror In me Freip.—It is with almost inexpressible gra'ification that we inform our fair readers in the Fitth avenue and elsewhere, that the Operatic war seems near a harmonious armistice, through the gallant conduct of a preux chevalier whose name has not previously transpired as among the aspirants for glory in this field. Monsieur the Daron de Staukovitch is the happy man. He ar- rived from Boston on Friday, and has applied to the Directors of the Academy of Music fora lease of that house for one month on trial; and the application will probably be successful, The Baron purposes to take the artists engaged by Mr. Max Maretzek for the month, to which ar- rangement Mr. Maretzek consents, with the uo derstanding that he is to resume control of the company after the month has expired. So there is an opening for a very nice arrangement, agree- able to all parties. As the Directors of the Acedemy cannot get a company bere before New Year's day, it will be no harm to anybody to al- low the Baron to try his hand. We think we hear somebody say, who is the Baron de Staukovitch? Sincerely sympathizing with those who are uninformed as to the ante- cedents of so distinguished 2 person, we will in form al! inquiring friends that the Baron is «a Russian of renown, of the purest Sclavic extrac- tion, and the husband of Madame de Staukovitch née De La Grange, the popular prima donna. Here is aristocracy enough to satisfy the most exclusive of stockholders or the most refined of pork butchers--we mean wealthy ones, o/ course. M. the Baron de Staukovitch has done the State frome service, and has fought ander the Russian flag in several severely gontested battles, on the shores of the Caspian, in the mountain passes of Circassia, the steppesof Tartary and on the con- fines of the Black Sea. He is fit to lead armies ; and no doubt competent to assume the baton oi Field Marebal of the Italian Opera in America. We may expect from him a brilliant campaign ; one that will leave all bis competitors—the Frys, Ole Bull, Maretzek, Phalen, Strakosch and even the Chevalier WikotY himself-—far in the shade. We remember that another Russian nobleman, M the Baron Ragain, attempted the direction of the Italian Opera in Paris some three yearsago. He commenced under the most favorable auspices, bu! there was a small ecrew loose somewhere, and the Baron made a grand explosion. So with ou Baron ; he will either make a splendid success or a magnificent burst-up. But as we are probably to bave the Opera, it will be well for all the dry goods dealers in Broadway, includiag Mademoi- elle Trapbagen (who has already sent a hundred dollar cheque) to help the Opera along and get ready theis newest and prettiest styles. We shal) sce what a eplendid campaign the Baron de Sta - kovitch will give us, eclipsing ail his predecessors, aud proving himself the Todtleben of the Academy. Tur Esouisn Journats on THE Presrpenc The English newspapers by the last arrival are filled with articles in relation to American at fairs, and many of the journalists show a great improvement, both in temper and accurate infor- mation, as to political events in the United States We find in the London Daily News, Morning Star and Manchester Guardian elaborate articles on the Presidential contest, which resemble in tone and temper the appeals to the American people made by the independent journals of New York. The Guardion—one of the chief organs of Eng- lish opinion—takes the position of the New Youx Herat in reJation to the attacks made by the Fillmore and Buchanan organs upon the private character, the family and the religion of Coloae! Franont, and asks very pertinently, “apon what ground inquiries of this character are introdaced into public discussion of an American citizea’ fitness for office. MeMaster, of the Freeman's Journal, share of the Guardian's sarcasm, and very plainly shows how contemptible are the’ tacticswhen viewed by an unprejadiced mind. The Duily News predicts Mr, Buchanan’s ele tion, but degertbes very fully a mass Fromontco. vention at Pittsbarg, Penneylvania, the enthusiasia of which the News thinks augurs weil for the Path finder in the stronghold of ths democracy. Th News takes a very fa jee, and describes } ly. The Mor principles involved in the of the grea vaiel and extracts » the Wall strest certain pregnant statist ech of Mr. Banks. ournals to whi dd aie giand, and articles show that they are perfectly wel informed as to our politics. They see very clear ty, a8 every man of common eonse must © that the g democracy and their Know Nothing adherents, having the weaker sid: of the argument, attempt to divert the atten tion of the people trom the main qnestion by absurd attacks upon the personal character of Colonel Fremont. Every American mast blush to sce how such contemptible tactics injure our na- tional reputation throughout the world. Nigger drivi Surrogate’s Court. PROUATE OF THS WILL OF GRORGE M. TURIBON.

The steamer Bay State, of the Sound line, om her pas- sage from this city on Friday evening, when off Hunting- ton light, broke her walking beam on the after end, which, together with the connecting rod, was forced ‘through the hurricane, saioon and main decks, tearing them away for sevoral fect. The head of the cytindor was torn out, which caused {be upper saloon to fill with steam. Most of the passengers had sufficiont warning to make their way from the saloons, forward and aff, be- fore the steam became intense. Capt. Jowets immedi- ately gave orders to drop anchor, The utmost coasterna- Von prevailed among the passengers, as most of them be- Meved the boat to be on tire. Their fears were soon al- layed by the Captain reporting that there was no further danger. As soon as the steam had escaped from the up- per saloons, it was found thata little girl, 10 years old, daughter of B, Blanchard, Exq., of New York, was sccld- ¢d to death, and two gentlemen slightly scalded in the bands and face, Mr. Lawson Tilton, steward of the boat, had both hands badly cut by the glass of one of the state reom windows, from which ho extrieated two ladies. Capt. Jewitt, also, was slightly cut in the hands by taking a lady and child from one of the state reoms, which was filled with sieam to suilocation. It iz marvellous that no f injury was sustained, when it 8 considered that there wore 150 passongers on board. The passengers were all taken off by the stoamer Wor- cester, of the Norwich line. Capt. Jewitt mauilested re- markable presence of mind and coolness, and the calaz manner in which he gave bia orders inspired the passen- gers with confidence, The Bay State lay at anchor untill yesterday morning, and was taken in tow aud reached ‘Ubi city yesterday afternoon. The damage to the boat cannot be jess than $20,000. Mention should be made of Mr. Simons, clerk, and Mr. James Breyton, freight clark. of tne boat, for the efficient service they rendered tm restoring order. City Intelligence.
