Of over six bundred passengers end crew bas one hundred were saved, according to our present ac- counts. We hope that whea the full detailscome to band, these accounts, which have become more cbe: rivg since the first aononucement of the Loss ot the ship, will be still brighter, and that we shall be able to make additions to the list of the saved. It would seem from the facts at hand that the lors of the Central America was one of those ter- rible calamities which no human foresight or skill couid prevent. She was built ovly four years ago, exprestly for the service in which she was engaged; she was rated “A 1,” and such was the confidence of her owners ia her stability that sbe was not insured Her commander, Mr. Herndon, was one of the most skilful, intelligent and accomplished officers in our navy, and his lose is of iteelf a national calamity. The ship was well supplied with provisions, and should have been strong enough to resist any ordiaary gale, as she had just been thoroughty overhauled, The passengers were of a different class from thoee lost in the Arctic. They were not wealthy geptlemen nor effem nate professional men nor comfortable merchants,accastomed toa lite of ease and luxury, but hardy miners and men accustom- ed to privations, dangers and inconveniences of all kinds. Your thorough Californian carries his life in his hand, and never loses his self-poszes- peril. Al) these circumstances make thecalamity at once surpri-iug and overwhelming, and prove that it mustbave been brought about by one of those terrible convulsions of the elements when man receives the most awful examples of the nothingness of the highest efforts of his skill in the presence of that Power which rides upon the whirlwind and directs the storm. This stout ebip, with all her defences ard safeguards, bearing in her bosom hundreds of precious lives and millions of treasure—freighted with the hopes and the joys and the fears of thou- eands of hearts—lies powerless before the storm; and ina moment she is seen no more. The calamity is the more dreadful because the the peopie on board were ail our own people, and in their fate is bound up the joys and the sorrows of hundreds of families all over our country; and although it may at first seem the face of such a sacrifice of life, the fact is that the loss of the money’on board this ship is but | little less distressing in its effects than the loss | of buman life by the same cause. There are hundreds of women and children in all parts of the country who depend for their daily bread up- on remittances from their natural guardians, who are at work in our El Dorado, striving «o raise themselves and their families ubove want. And it is eepecially the fault of our people in small communities that they do not understand the ne- cessity of helping each other iu so delicate a way that, while the giver shall have the re- ward which always foliows the doing of a good act, the pride of the recipient shall not be offend- ed, Thus these poor women and children are | put in a pceition of extreme misery. Again: the loss of so much money at a time of great finan- cial pressure must have the worst effect upon our banks, and through them extend to the traders who depeud upon them for accommodation. How true it is that “sorrows never come in single spies but in battalions!” The loss of the Central America is the firet disaster of any great consequence that has hap- pened to the mail line since it was organized— | bow nearly nine years—during which time it has conveyed over two hundred thousand passengers aud foar bundred millions of specie. It may bave been that this good fortune has led toa laxity of the discipline which is so necessary in all departments of so important and extensive a business; but of this we cannot judge until the details of the late disaster are before us. It would secm, bowever, from the reports of the Southerner, the Empire City and the Columbia, that the Central America was overwhelmed by one of those extra tropical gales so common off Cope Hatteras in Auguet and September, aod that this gale—or whirlwind more properly spesking—wae one of unexampled intensity. Toe | Commanders of the Columbia and the Empire City, Mesers Berry and McGowan, are both tho- | Toug seamen, and perfectly familiar with the | winds in thore latitudes. They agree in stating | that they bave never before experienced such weather. The wind blew from all points at the ssme time, veering about from east-southeast to wert-vorthwest. A steamer in such a sea, aod blown about by opposite wind currents, must be | utterly powerless. The stoutest ship cannot stand the force of a sea unless her bead can be | kept to it The Central America was very de in the bold and very broad in the beam—buailt to carry 4 crowd of passengers; and the great eur- face sbe would preeent to the sea, broadside on, undoubt diy neutralized the efforts of ber officers to keep ber sfloat, Neutical history has ac- counts of several remarkable burricanes ia which | the power of the wind is exemplified ina mar- | velloa* manner. One of these ocourred in 1780, in the West Indies, whea twenty thousand lives were lost, and rocks were taken from out of the sea in even fathoms of water and cast upon shore. Since 1821 there bave been eleven hurricanes of this cha. rac'er, but they have generally extended as far bortbward as the coast of Maine. It would ap | pear that this gale commenced at the eastward, near Nawau, and did not extend north of the Chesapeake Capes, nor south of Coarieston. The elliptic or parabolic course of the winds is not a tingularity; the whirlwind, however, appears to bave been unexampled in violence and in the length of time which it continued. Nautical men are frequently unable to struggle with such bur- ricanes. They come almost without warning and act in an entirely different way from ordiva ty gales. We vote with satisfaction that the officers, with of august, pleaded guilty to manslwghter in the third degree. He will be sentenced on Satarday, the ‘26th instant. Affidayite will be presented ty Jadge Russell to establish bis lanacy. Mary Thomps in Was tried ond acquitted of a charge of stabbing Mra Ann Cunningham #ith a knife.

Freight engagements were moderaie, nad rates on changed one exception, remained faithful to the ship, and that a large proportion of the passengers saved ate women. The hbeartleeaness of some of the officers of the Arctic had given rise to an impression that modern improvements in navi gation had done away with the gallantry of the navigutor, and that the good old rule that a sailor should stick to his ship under all circum- s'ances bad come to be ignored. That sallors tbould cling to the Inst plank is their bounden duty~a part of the contract which they make with the owners and the public. If they have not manliness enough to do this voluntarily there should be some legal enactment on the subject The telegraph informe us that the chief engineer, Ashby, deserted the sbip in an open boat. That man, like the wretches who dosorted the Arctic, sion, even in the presence of the most imminent’ beartlees to think of or allude to the treasure, in | will probably never be beard of again. But if the band of a just God does not punieh bim for bis base cowardice be should be met with the tcorn and contempt of every dexent man and woman in the lard. More than that—he is moral- ly reeponsible, in part, for the loss of life. and should be suitably punished for his orimes Tere are some cases in which Lynch law is excusable, and his is one of them, We may expect the Empire City to-day or to- morrow afternoon with some of the rescued pas- sepgerr, We shall then be able to give full de- tails of this awful calamity. For a complete list of passengers we ehall probably bs obliged to wait tijl the arrival of the next steamer, whioh wil! be due in about a week—to many a week of saspense too awtal for description. ‘The Causes of the Rebellion in India—Exeter finlt and the American People. A few radical refugees from Ireland have lately called a meeting in this city, and issued an addrees to the Britieh subjects in this couutry, sympathising with the rebellious sepoys of [adia, But these escaped rebels from Ireland entirely mistake the feelings of the American people, and do: not at all understand the trae condition of the public mind in Great Britain. A portion of the British press has begun to recognise, in a philocophical and true spirit, the oanses which lie at the root of the disasters in India; and now that they have acknowledged them, there is reagon to hope that they will apply their energies to bring about the remedy. But, surrounded as they are by the demands for immediate aseistance to the ecattered garrisons that are endeavoring to stem the torrent of rebellion io the East, they limit their view of the effects of these causes to the rcenes of India, and do not rise to that com- prebensive view that would show them elsewhere parallel, though lesss bloody disasters, that spring from the same great root of evil. Notwitbetanding the great aud generally suc- cersful efforts made by the East India Company to hide the true condition of affairs there; not- | withstanding the muzzle that is put upon the prees in India; notwithstanding the connivance of the government at home and ministers in Par- liament in the attempts to deceive the world, the evidence is conclusive that for a long time past the fear has existed in Ben- gal, and probably in tae other Presidea- cies also, that some compulsory change of religions belief wasintended. The Earl of Etlen- borough declared sometime since on the floor of Parliament, while commenting on the fact that Lord Canning, the Governor General in India, in subscribing his name, as he had done, to certain missionary subscriptions, had given an official sanction to this belief; for no Hindeo or Ma- hometan would or could separate in his own mind the private man from the public officer. When a late inquiry was instituted into the tackpore, the colonel of one of the regiments confessed that he had been in the habit of circeu- Jating tracts and addressing the men, both of his own and other native corps, with the declared objectof converting them to the Christian reli- gion; and he further acknowledged, that in con- tequence of this, if his regiment were ordered on field service he could not place himself at their head in full reliance upon their loyalty and good conduct. He was declared by the Gov- ernor General, in council, unfit for regimental command, and court martialed for his conduct. Even Mr. Vernon Smith, one of the present Cabinet Council in Eogland, in opposing a peti- tion to the House of Commons of certain mis- rionaries in Bengal, said that it could not be dis- gnised that the present disaffection in India aroee “from a prevalent notion that a cumpuleory con- version of the natives was intended.’ Even Lord Canning was forced to issue a proclama- | tion recently, in the Eogjich and native lan- government had any desire to interfere with re- Jigion or caste, and declaring that it would never cease to treat them with respect. These are the acknowledged canses so far as they regard India, and it is evident at a glance from whence they spring. The long contiaued and persistent efforts of a class of short sighted enthusiasts, who congregate in and around Exeter Hall, to impress upon the policy of the British government a moral and social propagandism | throughout the world, have brought destruction to more than one of the material interests of Eng- | land. Eastern India is not alone the seat of | social disorder caused by them. The condition | of the British colonies ia the West Indies is a sud | evidence of disasters that flow from their toach- ings and their policy when adopted by the govern- ment, The destruction of the former social or- | ganization existing there carried with it the de- | basing of the negro, the decay of the schoolaand churches, the decline of agriculture and com. | merce, the degeneration of the white race there: and the lore of the products which those colonics contributed to the tide of civilization. | | | | | against the social status of a portion of this | Union. They have preached againet us, and they have preyed against us. They have taken up con- | tributions, and sent their gold here to build up | among our puritans a school of the same fire and agitators of every sex and color. Their Coun!esses of Satherland have embrased our fic- titious Uncle Toms, and their George Thompsons bave found here visionary enthusiasts equally ready to join in the crusade against everybody who did not come square up to their moral stand- ard and cut their garments according to their peculiar creed. The puritans of Eagland aod the puritans of America are of the same breed and instinete, A more tyrapnioal and opinion-perse- cuting sect has never been known. The Jesuits of the Roman Church have a facility of social adaptation that has marked their career with material enccess all the world ever. But not so the English puritan; his rule is a social as well asa religious despotiem, and where he prevails he destroys or incites successful resistance. Eag- land threw him off from herself nearly two hun- dred years ago, but he recovered from the shock to interfere with and rain her colonies, before in the Weet and now in the Bast, for a part of the Indien empire has now to be re-created, and the whole t. be reorganized. Had not the good sense and conservatism of the people of this country resisted the establish- ment of these Exeter Hall theories here, the cot- ton growing States of the South and the manu- facturing interests of the Northern States and of England, would ali have been involved before now in one common ruin, That such a blow would have carried disaster and ruin to many other interests of the community cannot be doubted—for all the iateresta of society, like the nerves and sinews of the human body, are linked in one sympathetic unjon—yet have no people been 80 roundly abused as we have by those of England, for persisting in saying ourselves and causes of the first symptoms of mutiny at Bar- | guages, denying most emphatically that the | These same Exeter Hall enthusiasts have car- | | tied on for a long series of years a bitter war | — character. They have sent us lecturers | them from ‘uch overwhelming diraster. The preee the pulpit and the politicians of Eoglaad bave uni'ed ip d: nouncing ue, The self-righteous Pharisees ot Exe'er Hall porsvaded the right- Joving people of Great Britain that we only tood in the path of philanthropy and justice, Preventing its universal sway ; aad listening to their teachings, we have been reviled beyond mearure. But the time bas come when the people of Eng’ and wil) judge tacee social reformers of other lands by the fruits they bring forth; when they will opeo their ears to other teachings than those which echo from Exeter Hall India has read and will yet read to them a terrible lesson on charity tor the opinions of millions of men who differ from them in religious and social creed; and it will be well for England if she profits by it. We warn ber to beware ofthe over-righteous, of the self styled philanthropists who believe that orthodoxy is oly their doxy. It will re quire a long time for the material interests of England to recover from the disorganization of Northern India tbat bas resulted from the inter- ference of the Exeter Hall propagandists with politics in the East. If she would coatnue to prosper she must separate these fauatics from all influence in ber policy, either foreign or toward her own colonies and dependencies; for nothing is more logically established than that sudden social revolution and social develop-ment can- not exist together, Toe puritans of Exeter Hall and of New England would revolutionize society at once, no matter what might be the result. Highly Important from Kavsas—Good News We publish this morsing the proceedings of the firet three days of the Constitutional Cun- vention of Kansas (pro-slavery), including the opening address of the President of the body, Hon. John Calhoun. To the liberal and sugges” tive tone of this address, and the viewa of our correspondent touching tbe slavery question, we invite the especial attention of our readers, Nothing could be more conservative or conci- listory than this address of Mr. Culooun, and we have no doubt it is the trne index to the pre- Cominant sentiment of the Territory—to wit, a peaceable avd satisfactory settlement of the tlavery question, through a fair submis- sion to the popular vote, according to the letter and the spirit of the Kansas Nebraska bill. The Convention has adjouroed over until after the October Territorial election— a movement which also indicates among the members of the body a prevailicg disposition to pacify, rather than to inflame, the agitation of the nigger issue in the election of the members of the new Legislature. | We are also aseured that the violent and war- threatening agitators in Kansas—pro-slavery | and no slavery—constitute but an insignificant faction here aud there of noisy demsgoaues aad desperate political adventurers, possessed of no fixed habitation or solid interes: in toe Territory, and that a decided majority of the substantial bona fide settlers, who have practically identified themselves with the destiny of Kansas, are of free State terdencies, ard from the simple fact that Kansas will proeper more rapidly asa free State than a slave State. Ciimate, prodacta, and the superior pressure of a Northern emigration, are thus quietly but irresistibly working out the manifest destiny of Kansas. It thus appears that many, even of the most violent original pro-slavery leaders of the Terri- tory, give itup, and are really satisfied, in view of the ineligibility of Kansas for African slave Jabor, that the exclusion of slavery is the best thing for all parties baving an interest in the material prosperity of the State. With this con- cession from these late ultra pro-slavery leaders, it is very evident that the game of the nigger driv- | ing and nigger worshipping agitators in Kansas, for outside party and Presidential purposes, is blocked, and that Kansas, in a regular and or- derly manner, will“ pass through the offivial forms required to secure her admission among the glorious sisterhood of the sovereiga States of this magnificent confederacy. With this cheering news from Kansas, we con- gratulate our conservative fellow-citizens, of al! | parties, in this State and in other States, upon the success of the Kansas policy of Mr, Bu- chanan’s administration. It has restored order out of confusion, and has established the princi- ples of peace, conciliation and common sense up- on the ruins of ruffianiem and bloody violence, The ferocious agitators inside of Kansas, of both parties, are thus put upon their good behavior, and Jaw and order are predominant. Thas, from step to step we may con"dently anticipate a peacefal solution by the Kansas people of the erent issue of slavery or no slavery. At the same time, the political capital of “ bleediag Kaneas” will no longer be of any practical ser- vice to our outside agitators, for there is nothing in it—there is nothing any longer to swear, onree, howl or sbriek about in Kansas; for her wounds are healed, and she bleeds no more; but, full of vigorous beauty, health and bope, she is preparing, like a young maiden, for her formal admission into eoclety. Let the Kansas shriekers of this State who are teeking to cover np their own dirty works of usurpation and epoliation in thie unmeaning ory of “bleeding Kanes,” be met with the facts as they etand, and let our Seward oligarchy be made to answer in our approaching election for the eufferings of “bleeding New York.” Let this test be applied to all candidates for our new Le- gislature; for this next Legislatare fs the tribu- nal that must pass judgment upon the acts of the last. The first necessity for a reform in our local laws and financial State policy ie a revolu- tion in our Legislatare, Let us attend to this business, for Kansas will take care of herself. Who Snais. ne own Next Mavon?—The confu- sion of parties and factions, and party feuds and personal squabbles in this city, it is manifest are beyond all remedy for the present. We mast bo patient, therefore, until, like the cholera, the yel- low fever, or like the present financial revulsion, | or any other epidemic, these party demoraliza- tions shall have run their couree. Meantime we shall probably have some half dozen tickets in the field for our December city election. The American party will bave a candidate for Mayor, the republicans a candidate, the Peter Cooper democrats will, no doubt, have a candi- date, and in addition to there we may have seve- ral independent candidates. Harry Howard is already out as one, to begin with. Against all these candidates Mayor Wood will have nothing to do but to walk over the course, The factions and parties opposed to him cannot be anited, and the maeses in his support cannot very easily be divided. And such is the prospect for our city election. What enys Massa Grecley?t What says the Chevalier Webb? We pity them. But this is about the best that we can do for them. We inust take things as they come, {HE LATEST sews Interesting from Washington, FORTBOOWLPG BDUT sGalseT THs © ALA Rs PILIBUR t1L aD Tae THB a0bTsi aN AND MEX CAN MIN.STER<—DRPARKTUSE OF LOD NAPIBK FOR OUMSESLANU—THS NaTIONAL FI- NANOB?, BIC.
