Phe Niagara’s mails bring us some interesting fects in connection with the hitch which was said to have taken place in the entente cordiale between and that the Russian agents in Paris, both male ani female, are in despair. What gives some color to these statements is the fact that Lord Cowley is the osly foreign minister who has been invited for the whole period of the court's sojourn at Compiegne, and that he is daily closeted with the Emperor. Iv order to manifest his displeasure at the conduct of the Times and other leading London jvuraals, Louis Wapoleon lately sent for the Paris corresponden. of the Morning Post, and congratulated him upon the securacy and conscientiousness of his statements. Anotber thing which marks the new direction io which the political vane is turning, is the circam- stance that on the Constitutionnel publishing some severe strictures on the condact of Eagland and Austria in regard to the continued occupation of the Black Sea and tbe Principalicies, the Moniteur ¢..ae ent ins day or two afterwards with a disclaimer of tbe sentiments put forth in the article. It is now said that it is the enlourage of the Emperor, and not is own iuclination-, which had disposed him to Bsten too freely to the biandizhments of Russia, The cotton market was active yesterday, witb si.ce ef about 4,000 bales; the market ciosing firm. Phe private advices received by the Niegara wre eonsidersd quite as satisfactory and as favorable as the telegraphic revorts, The foar market was easier for common grades, while extra brands were machange sd eales moderate.

A carge of new North Carotina white corn, the firat of the season, a little out of order, was sald, as re- ported by ‘he purchaser, at 6lc. Pork was in mo- derate demand at #17 75. Sugars were steacy, with moderate sales. Coffee was quiet. Freights were Jess active, aud rather easier to Eugtish ports. The steamehip Texas left this port yesterday for n, Nic. She took out between four and five jred passengers, @ large proportion of whom ‘were recruits, enlisted in New York and Phitadel- phie, it ie said, for Gen. Walker. The Texas is at anchor at Quarantine, detained by the tide. She wil leave early this morning. She -will be furnished with files of the Henatp of this morning by Mr. Reagan, boatman at Quarantine. The Collins steamship Baltic left this port at nooa yesterday for Liverpool, with vigbty-one pasvengers and four bondred thousand dollars in treasare. Senator Douglas and lady, with a bridal party, ar- rived in this city lust evening, and are at the St. Nickolas Hotel. The charge of dishonesty and treachery made by Mr. Randolph against Gen. Goicouria caused the latter to send to Mr. Randolph yesterday morning averbal cbalienge to mortal combat, which Ran- @olph refused to re eive, and required his commaai- eation to be made in writiog. Gen. Goicouria im- mediately sent a written challenge, which was promptly accepted. We are informed that arrange ments have been made fora hostile meetiog between ‘whe parties on Monday m>ruing.

The (Qwerrero had had an engaze- ment with the Demorrata, but got the worst of the pattie, and was compelied to put into Campeacty for repairs. The news from Mexico is endstantialiy the same aa that received via Havana. We publish this morning an unusually interesting letter from California, which may be regarded asa condensed description of the past and present con- @ition of thet great State, and which contains abont all that is really worth knowing in relation to it- ‘The writer angure a grand destiny for it in the fa- tare. & sad caswalty occurred yesterday at Hadson @ity, N.J., at shaft No.2, on the tunnel which is being constructed for the New York and Erie Rail- road Company, by which three men were killed and two dangerously wounded.

The counsel of Andrew Williams, who was convicted of poisoning his wife some two sé soner had been convicted on the testimony ot one person only, who was a lodger in the house, and tbat the jury hesitated a long time before bringing in a verdict of guilty, and at the same time recom- mended him to mercy. The Recorder said that he would look into the case, and give his opinion during the week. The Grand Jury, in their presentment yesterday to the Court, state that they have had un- der consideration an unusually large number of terious and important cases. They have given much attention to the late election frauds and riots, and state that in one of the districts there was on “excess of more than two hundred ballots over the names entered on the poll book, and that the poll clerk was repeatedly requested by one of the inspectors to make fictitious entries on the poll book, approximating in numbers to the excess of ballots.” The Grand Jury found a namber of indictments against Inspectors of Election for not rendering ‘heir returns accordimg to law. ‘The trial of Lewis Baker, for the murder of Poole, will take place on Monday at Newburg, Orange county.

The Captain of the British bark Perthshire, which arrived at Savannah from the Clyde on the 19th iust., reports that on the 25th October, on the soath- east coast of Ireland, Tusker Light bearing N.E. distant about forty miles, passed the wreck of a sbip, ani took offa Spanish sailor, who stated that his vessel was bound from Liverpool to New York, and that she was run into by a large ship, suppos @ to be a New York packet. All on board, some six- teen souls, are believed to have perished. The bark Genesee, from Antwerp to this city, with 178 German emigrants on board, and an as- sorted cargo. went ashore in Little Egg Harbor on Thursday morning, having mistaken the Egg Har- bor Light for that of Fire Island.

The ship Snow Squall, from this port to San Francisco, was compelied to put into Montevideo on the 4th of September, in distress. She had lost sails, topmasts, jibboom, and sprang ber bowsprit. Bie Late Mission of Governor Wise to Wheatiand—a Good Time Coming. From a bighly indiguant disclaimer in Forney’s Pennsylvanian, it appears that the report that Wise, Douglas. and Slidell had been together at Wheatland, “is a wretched fabricatioa of the Philadelphia Times; for we are assured that “neither Mr. Slidell nor Mr. Douglas has visited Mr. Buchanan since his election.” It thus aye pears that Mr. Wise had this late important mission of his all to bimsdf; and from other sources it further appears that he came ia the evening and left in the morning; that he had two objects in view—first, to look after the spoils in behalf of the Richmond Junta; and secondly, to ack to be graciously excused from any service in the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan. We are also informed that the first object in volved a suggestion or two to Mr. Buchanan in reference to his Kansas policy ; for it seems that the Virginia fire-eating Governor, and the little knot of disanion organizers at Richmond, of which he is the head aud Master Pryor the tail, have become a little scary since the election, erning the admission of Kansas as a slave State, and an increase in the price of niggers, Upon this sulject, and upon the subject of the claims of the Richmond Junta to the spoils, and a voice or two in the kitchen, all reports agree in the following intelligence—that Mr. Wise returned to Virginia by the first down train, at least slightly disgusted with the re- malts of his expedition. No doubt the second application of the ierrible Knight of the Old Do- minion— that is, to be excused from any service in the Cabinet of Mr. Bachanan—will be cheerfully granted. It is doubtful, however, whether this magnanimous withdrawal by Mr. Wise of bis claims, will be of any service to Mr. Buchanan; | for with Wise out of the way, the conflicting pretensions aod cliques of such lesser lights as Senator Hunter, Senator Mason and ex-Governor Floyd will come into the ring, and there will be acouseqnent fermentation in the “ sweat-house” of the Richmond Janta without parallel since the “removal of the deposite’” or the establish ment of the Sab-Treasury. In a general way, we suspect that it will be an act of charity to prepare the Richmond Janta tor @ whole chapter of disappointments, comprebend- ing the policy of the new administration, foreign and domestic, the management of the Kitcher Cabinet, the dispensation of the spoils, the ree struction of the party, and the price of niggers. This modern democratic Junta of Richmond, of which Mr. Wise is the head and Master Pryor the ail, deserves a passing notic It is the ramp or the stump of Fatber Ritch old Junta; and the difference between the old Janta and the new is just the difference between the old Charter Oak at Hartford and the weak and sickly sprouts that heve sprung up around the stamp of the fallen tree. But the impudence of this modern Junta makes wp for all deficiencies of dignity, solidity, or stability, It aspires, not only to the control of the share of the spoils scorning to Vir- ginia, but has already undertaken to dictate to Mr. Buetenan bie privileges and limitations in the distribution of the spoils in New York. The party here, “like an ungovernabie beast,” is to be “ stinted of its provender,” and if a sop in the flesh pots of the Treasury be accorded to Dix, Dickinson, Seymour or John Van Buren, it must be taken as an act of charity, afd not as the re- ward due to a faithful. servant or a regular com- municant of the church, It may be that the late mission to Whea‘land of Governor Wise embraced a genera) policy of starving the contumacious Northern democracy into submission, in addition to the bestowment of the lion’s share of the plunder upon the happy family of the Richmond “ sweat-house.”” In this view, the very short stay of the bellicose Virginia salamander at Wheatland, and the concurrent re- ports from all sides, that he left the shrine of his pilgrimage somewhat disturbed in his spirit of devotion, afford us a pleasing indication or two of a good time coming. From these signs, the augury may be a good one that the democratic party is not to be redaced to a reckless sectional horde of nigger-driving disunienists and vagrant filibusters, and that the prospect is not the best in he world for an increase im the price of niggers under Mr. Buchanan’s administration, to five thousand, three thousand, or even two thousand dollars a head. We shall have rare sport when the ball opens. ‘The Religious Press in Politics. We have had occasion to say more than once that interference in political contests appears to be beyond the proper province of a religious newspaper. The peculiar elements entering into tbe late contest for the Presidency imparted to that canvass an exceptional character, and may in some measure justify a departure from the rule in this instance. It was perhaps a Christian as well as a political duty to denounce the scenes which had taken place in Kansas, and to forewarn the people against the interruption of our peace- ful relations with the world. But, now, ona calmer view of the circumstances, we fee) satisfied that a repetition of the course pursued during September and October by the religious press would be fraught with dangerous consequences; and we trust that it may be the last occasion on which the clergy shall mix in our political strifes. In the first place, they can do no good. From @ pretty thorough study of the net results of the elections, we feel justified in saying that the alli- ance of the religions newspapers and the pulpit generally rather weakened than strengthened Fremont. Nor is this wholly unnatural. Cler- gymen are notoriously uneate guides in worldly matters: they are men of slender worldly experience, habits of abstract thought, and pehaps a very imperfect acquaintance with the bad side ‘of buman nature. No one would think of consulting his parson abou‘ @ business operation. The same reasons would deter a voter from taking his minister's advice about a President. Again, the people of this country have, as a general rule, a lively hor- ror of priestly despotism. Parts of New England bave groaned under a theocratic government from the settlement to the present day: the peo- ple know it, and hate the thought. lo some places, they go against their preachers merely iv order to prove their independence. In others, where the theocracy has been long since over- throwu, the people are so afraid of its restora- tion, or of the name of such a thing, that the ar- gumenis of the minister on secular matters al most always defeat his side. Altogether, though the clergy appear to have weight when they drop into the stream and follow public opinion, it is quite doubtful whether they can ever move the public mind in any independent secular diree- tion; and when, as in this case, they are aided by their peculiar presses, and go into a contest with warmth and bigotry, they are almost certain to strengthen their antagonists. It has long been the settled opinion of many of the best Christians of this country that the most formidable enemy against which religion has to contend {s the religions press. Nor can any oue who has made a business of reading the journals classed under this head dispute the soundness ot the basis on which this opinion rests. The bases, and meanest qualities of human nature—dis- honesty, bigotry, intolerance. cantand falsehood— receive their most complete illustration, in this country, in the columns of the religious press. It hardly ever happens that any of these jour- nals call attention to a noble instance of self- devotion, or uneelfishners, or charity, or courage under trials, or heroic integrity, or any other manly virtue. The types they point out for imi- tation are merchants who, having made a fort tune, gave $16,000 to the sect of which the journal is an organ; Wall street operators who, under the influence of a sermon trom “ @ noted di vine,” har ded a thousand dollar bill (o the sexto: young ladies who worked gowns and bands for the Reverend Cream Cheese ; congregatious which raised money enough to send their parson to Europe; wealthy men who build churches, and pay subteriptions to support idle youths |» so called missionary stations, &e, &e, &: Mingled with there stirring narratives of virtae, are meson pettyfogging attacks on other secte. The Catholic sneers at the Protestant ; the evan- gelical groans over the high churchman; the Methodist sighs at the Congregationalist ; the Preebyterian snarls at the Baptist: the Episeopa- lian seviles them all. Week after week these pious editors rebash their contemptible cavils at each other—sometimes openly, but oftener in an underband sneaking way, in euch a shape as an emotional letter from a pious clergyman who bas been sent to Mount Lebanon for a tendency to bronchitis. Now, how does the public view these journals? How can they be viewed save as a nuisance? ‘They not only earn contempt for themselves, but they produce a general feeling—of at least indif- ference—for religion, and they confirm the great mass, the thinking people of the country, in the determination to keep clear of it. They sub- sist alone by the weakness of women and children, The # another reason why no political side | should bereafter desire these journals as allies, Vith the single exception of the Protestant | Episcopal and the Roman Catholic churches, every religious sect in this country is disunijonist in character, All the Protestant churches have been eplit by the slavery question, It is reason- able to expect that their influence will be exerted to induce the whole country to follow their «xample. ‘The contest is over now, and there is no use returning upen it. But let us have no clerical infinence in polities. Lory Patwenston’s Srrecnes.—The speeches of Lord Palmerston, which we give eleewhere, throw some additional light upon the state of the relations between England, France and Russia. In the first place, it is apparent that the treaty stipniations are not being fnifilied by Russia to the eatisfeetion of the Allies. Lord Palmerston pends upon the course pursued by Russia; im- plying that if the Czar persists in his attempts to construe the treaty in his own way, or, as the English call it, to evade bis obligations, war will be declared afresh. It may be presumed that the Emperor of the Russias will not bring this con- tingency upon his head, at all evente, until his rai)ways are built. The menace at Manchester will be enough, With regard to France Lord Palmerston says little; that little complimentary. He speaks ia high terms of the French alliance, and alludes to no probable cause of rapture between the two countries, But meanwhile, an organ of the French government—the Constitutionnel—has an article soundly rating the Times and the British people, and intimating that Lord Palmerston’s ministry did not possess the confidence of the British people. On reading this the editor of the 7:mes waited to see how the imperial master would notice the insolence of his “menial.” He did notice it, in a short paragraph in the Moniteur, which denied that it had ever been authorized by the government, and tried, rather awkwardly, to smooth over the trouble between the two countries. With this semi-apology, the haughty Times declares itself satisfied, and proceeds to glorify the alliance, mingling, however, with its sweet, some few drops of bitter for hie Imperial Majesty. It seems quite likely that this little tiff may have the effect of etrengthening the alliance, in- stead of weakening it. The longer the two nations remain at peace and in alliance the closer are knit together their bonds of union—co umer- cial, financial, socia) and literary. During the old Napoleonic wars there were no steamers plying to France, no railroads carrying pas- sengers from London to Paris in aday, no tele- graph wires tying the nations together at the Bottom of the sea, but )ittle international trade (Bordeaux was the great French seaport in those days,) slight relations in a ‘social and lite- rary point of view, and comparatively very little intercourse. Now, ali this is so changed that it would necessarily require new and far greater causes than the old ones to provoke a war. What causes exist? A New Excrrement For THE Reviews Woriv.—Some time ago a portion of the Lon- don press went into comvulsions upon the per- formance of a new opera by Verdi, called “La Traviata,” (The Lost), which was originally produced in Italy, and made a fiasco. Mlle. Piccolomini, having been engaged by Lumley, for her Majesty’s theatre, it was determined to escape comparative criticism, by giving ber tn entirely fresh réle; and that of Violetta, in Traviata,” was chosen, In order that the tone of the affair may be fully understood, we ep- pend a résumé of the plot:— ‘the libs etto ia # vere: of the younger Dumas’ play, * La Dame aux Came iD Which so striking an effec, ‘Was procuced at we dre du Vaudeville, by the tne acting of Mademe Doche.

The censor, however, refuved to allow the English version of the play to be done in England. The opera, however, was represented ten or twelve times, and the fury of Exeter Hall was aroused to the highe § pitch. The London 7imes led the crusade, and declared that no modest woman should venture to the Opera while it was being represented. After the London season, Mile Piccolomini went to Dublin, where the thunders of the church were launched upon her head. The Reverend Mr. M’Hugh, a Roman Catholic priest, wrote to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland imploring him to stop the opera; but the Lord Lieutenant did not think that the regulation of prime donne came within the line of his official duties, and did not interfere, At the same time that Father M’Hagh was pitching into Piccolomini, “La Traviata” was being represented at Moscow, much to the edification of the spiritual head of the Greek Church, who was a regular attendant at the opera house on every night when it was sung. Well, we are to have, it is said, thie naughty opera at the Academy of Musie next week, and we may expecta grand moral and religious cra- sade ogainst it. Now that the election excite- ment is over, both the press and the public are panting for a new furore, and this gives them a eplendid chance. The religions newspapers wil) have in the new opera, a subject which should eal) out their very strongest doses of fire ard brimstone, Nothing short of consigning the en- tire opera company, prime donne, tenors, bassos, paritones, conductors, ballet girls, choristere, agente, cashiers apd employs of al) sorts to the Jowest depths of the lower regions-will answer All the old and young ladies in the Fifth av enve and elsewhere, will be agitated by virtuous indignation io various degrees according to age, but they will undoubtedly goto see it, for wo- man, a8 wel) #8 man, is prone to evil as the sparks fly upward, and has a recret longing for improper things.
