The News. ‘The eteamship Canada had not arrived at Halifax at the time of onr going to preas. The weather at that port was thick, and it was raining heavily. ‘The loss of the Central America still continues to excite public attention. We give to-day the protest of the principal surviving officers, sné other interest- ig particulars, The adjourned meeting ou behalf ot the sofferers resulted in the collection of $8,085. This, added to $2,000 already collected at Norfoik, makes $16,085. It is presumed from the hearty re- sponse of the‘public, that the amount will not fal! short of $15,000. Collectors have been appointed, ‘and thoss wh» are not waited upon, and feel desi- Tous of contributing, can send their respective sums to the treasurer, chairman, secretary, or to Mr. Hooker, President of the Continental Bank. By a letter from Captain McGowan, of the steam- ship Empire City, published in the Norfolk papers, | we learn that the fault of not having the mails of the Empire City landed at Norfo k did not lay with Mr. Vaughan, the Postmaster, but with the Health Officer, who refused to allow the mails to be lacded The steamship City of Baltimore, which left Liv. i erpool on the 9th instant, arrived at this port last evening. Her news had been anticipated by the advices brought by the Antelope to Saint Johns, N. F., and the Indian to Quebec, a telegraphic sum- mary of which appeared in the Hxpatp of Sunday and Monday last. Our European files by the City of Baltimore contain, however, some interesting details. There was nothing new from India, but a despatch NEW YORE HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SRPTIMBME 23, DOOR SEPTEMBER 23, 1857. been sent up from forty to fifty times, and as fre- quently as two or three times a month, entailing on the department the expense of frequent commit- ments, There were admitted during the week 1,228 persons, died 24, discharged 996, sent to the peni- tentiary 200, sent to State prison 1—leaving in the institutions 6,69! inmates. A man named Morris was shot in a brothel in Water street yesterday morning, and instantiy killed. He and two others attacked the barkeeper, who in his turn shot Morris. All the parties were arrested. Coroner Hills held an inquest on the body of deceased, and the jury rendered a verdict that he had come to his death by the hands of Rishard Morrissey, who had taken unjustifiable means to de- fend himeelf. Coroner Perry concluded his investigation yeater- day into the cause of the death of Catharine Young, The jury returned a verdict that she came to her death py the hands of Henry Johnson, who was ao- cordingly committed to await the action of the Grand Jury. avid Hill, a respectable looking man, was tried in toe General Sessions yesterday for forgery in the second degree, in passing two $5 counterfeit bills on the Lee Bank of Massachusetts. He was convicted of the second degree of that offence, and sent to the penitentiary for one year. Bernard McGuire and George Davidson, guilty of burglary in the third degree, were sent to the House of Refuge. John Til” ton was sent to the State prison for two years for the same offence. George Ford was acquitted of a cherge of grand larceny, in stealing two valuable gold watehes from J. 0. Mahoney, 71 Catharine street, on the 11th of August. The accused epaee ted his guilt to the officer, but there was not legal | evidence enough to convict him. Patrick Duffy, who has been indicted for the mur- der of Jeremiah Salters, a negro, was yesterday | admitted to bail by Judge Russell in the sum of $3,000. It is understood that Justices Osborn and Con’ nolly have decided in the case of Sarah Sands, that a house of assignation is per se a disorderly house. She will be sentenced next Tuesday. Benjamin Cole, who was tried for the murder of Asron Cole last spring, at Steep Rocks, was ac- quitted on Saturday last at Poughkeepsie. When the jury brought in their verdict on Saturday even- ing, the public concurrence was manifested by applause. Cole, who is also indicted for man- slanghter, in killing Charlies Saulpaugh, who died from the effects of wounds received at the hands of | Cole in the same affray, was liberated on his own recognizance of $1,000. The train from Norwalk yesterday morning met with a serious accident, through the negligence of a signal man. The cars were huddled back upon one | another, thrown from the track, and the locomotive | completely overturned. No lives were lost, although | one or two persons were seriously injured. The committee appointed to investigate the affairs of the Michigan Southern Railroad, state that the | floating debt of that company is $1,800,000. They also say that with economy and good management the road will pay dividends. j ‘The Spanish ship Emilia, Captain Riera, put into | this port yesterday in distress, having experienced great damage in her hull and spars during the late | gale. This vessel left Havana on the 30th ult. with was expected in London on the 12th instant at | 10" Passengers for Vigo and Cadiz, and encoun- Istest.

English capitalista were a good deal alarmed with regard to the security of investments in the Unitei States in consequence of the late failures, and parti culariy that of the Ohio Life and Trust Company. Spain was likely to arrange her difficulties with Mexico through fear of an American invasion of Cuba. The Mormon delusion was openly denounced in Londo», and Mr. Buchanan's military course with respect to Utah endorsed. The London money market was stringent, but the bullion in the Bank of France bad increased largely: ‘The Irish harvest afforded 9 splendid yield. Our advices from South America are dated at Buenos Ayres on the 2d, and at Rio Janeiro on the 14th of August. The property of General Rosas had 69 degrees 11 minutes West from Cadiz, and was | obliged to put in here to repair damages. She got a pilot on the 18th, from the pilot boat Mary Ann, No. 13, Captain James R. Murphy, and has been four days off the port, unable to get in in conse- | quence of heavy gales from the E.aud N.N.E., | during which she received further damage. The sales of cotton yesterday were confined to about 400 bales, at quotations given in anether colamn. Fiour ‘wea steady, with o fair amount of sales, and closed at | about the current rates of the previous day. Wheat was from 26. @ Sc. per bushel lower for most detoriptions, ea- pecially of Western red and while, with froc sales, in- cluding parcels for export. Corn was lower, with sales of Western mixed at 77¢ a 780. Pork was dull, with small rolos of moss at about $25. Prime was nominal at $20, Bacon waa steady, and 200 boxes boneless middies were sold at 130 Shgars were sold to the extent of about 985 bhcs. at prices given in another place, which did not vary materially from previous current rates. Coffee was firm with sacs of Riost llc #120. Freights were unchanged.

The Republican State Convention mect today at Syracuse, for the purpose of making nominations for | Btate officers. Our correspondent at Syracuse, whose | despatch is given elsewhere, states there will be Uttle difficulty as regards the nominations, except as to the Btate Engineer, Mr. Seymocr, who, in addition to some other drawbacks, is opposed by the Tharlow | ‘Weed party. The namber of delegates at Syracuse aat evening was not large, although it is supposed the Convention would be a large one. The Republican Central Committee met last night Gnd sdepted a long address to the electors of Biate defending the acta of the last Legislature and replying to the charges made by the Mayor and | Common Council of this city to the it inan Gurated. The address ts Cenunciatory in ite lan- guage, aud bears very heavily on onr city officials. Tt wae promulgated last night so as to reach Syra- Cuse this evening, and is intended to affect the deli- berations of the Republican Convention now in ses sion. ‘The Democratic Btate Central Committee met at Albany yesterday. After the appointment of offi cera and transaction of some minor business, the committee adjourned until the 14 of Ociober. Our universal democratic and weial re French born citizens had quite a time o aight. It was an anniversary meeting of the gio rious ers of "02, and jndging from the spirit they manifested, the “good time coming” cannot te yer y far off. A fall report of speeches, toasts, Ac., will be found elsewhere. The Board of Ten Governors met yesterday ang ‘ensacted consideralle routine business. A resol tion was received from the Common Council surren ering the Fourth district prison to the care of the Governors, aa it wae of no further use, in conse: quence of the organisation of the new Metropolitan police districta, Messrs.

We publish this morning a highly important | | despatch from Washington, showing the position | that tbe government bas taken toward the repre | sentatives of the Central American States, who | ro been urging upon it some action in reference certain international questions relating to those Staten It will be seen that the position taken by the | administration is entirely in consonance with | what we bave been for some time past advising it | to assume. While it will do all thatit can legal- | ly and properly do to prevent the departure of | armed expeditions from our ports fer the purpose | | of assailing other nations, as we stated a day or two since. and as will be seen by a letter of the | | District Attorney, published in another column, it | has duties to perform towards its own citizens which will not be forgotten or neglected. If the disorgenized communities of Spanish-America, in | their intestine conflicts, invite the adventurous | | and enterprising of our people to take a part with , one or other of their domestic parties, and this invitation should be accepted, this will form | no reason why war should be made upon other of our citizens who are pursuing their peaceful avo- cations. The present position of Costa Rica and the other allied Central American States is a case | in point. One of the native parties to the civil | war in Nicaragua invited Walker to go there and assist them to overthrow their opponents. He did #0, and many Americans, British, French, Germans and others followed his example, while | Spain and her colonies contributed also to swell the opporing ranke of the combatasts. In the operations which followed these events Costa Rica and ber allies declared war indiscri- minately against all American citizens and their esta, At Virgin Bay fourteen American citizens, in pursuit of their legal occupations, and } taking no part in the civil contest raging around | them, were murdered; the officers of a lawfully | established transit company at San Jaan were | forcibly detained and plundered; the property of Americans—steamers, wagons, storehouses and | implements of all kinds—were taken firet by one | and then by another of the contending powers, without compensation, and they have not yet been returned; an international highway, right- fully open to all nations, has been closed; and, finally, as if to crown the list of outrages com- mitted under the pretence of acts of war, the Rev. Mc. Wheeler and several other peaceful non- combatan‘'s were barbarously murdered during an atteck upon Granada by the Corta Ricam and Gostemalan forers, Ber these and many other eimilar acte of un- civilized warfare theee States have yet to answer to the people of this country. Because certain American citize: abhjuring their nationality, take ® part in the ever-recurring domestic broils, it is no reason that indiscriminate war should be made upon our right pureuing citizen; and in 80 oing those governments have rade virtual war bs tg the United States. The lives of those who have been sacrificed in a blind rage must be atoned for. The property that has been seized must be reta'ned. Whether it belongs to Vao- Gerbilt or Morgan, or any one else, is a question for the courts to determine; but American capi- tal placed it there, at the urgeat request of the Iccal government and under its solema guaran: tee, and to Americans it still belongs, The gov- ernment that may now exist is bound by the ucts of itade facto predecessors, and it never aoper- taing to a foreign power to examine the lawful- nase of 8 government established and admitted in any conntry. Whether Walker went before, or may o gain, bas no bearing upon thes questions. Our government hs? done and will do all that it legally oon > Pf. vent the sailing of organized expeditions; aud it bas done more than was ever done by that of Great Britain, which has, necessarily under the constituti n, permitted Britons to depart singly, and even in organized masses, to take part in the ivil wars of neighboring States. Daring the war in Spain expeditions departed from Eog'aud to aid both parties, and Christiana and Carlos each counted a British Legion among their fol- lowers. While these Spanish-American States are living in constant civil dissension and invit- ng our people to aid them, as they are conetant. ly doing, both parties must learn to discriminate between the active partisan and the peaceful American who may be called by his lawfal pur- suit to their shores. If they will not do this we ) shall bave to send another Captain Hollias among them to teach them their international ob- ligations, In the position the administration at Washington has assumed toward the representa- tives of the Central American States, it will be supported by the good sense and patriotism of the whole country, irrespective of party. The Black Republicans at Syracuse, The Republican Convention meets at Syracuse today. They will present to the people the names of candidates for certain State offices But this will not be the most interesting nor the moet important part of their proceedings, It is well known tbat the republican party is made up of dissimilar and discordant materials, The por- tion of the old whig party in the State who ad- hered to Seward in his split with Fillmore are republicans. They are generally in tavor of a protective tariff, of extravagant financial schemes, and of the government taking eare of the peo- ple. Joined with these, and composing the other wing of the republican party, are a large body of radical democrats, or baruburners—men of the Silas Wright school of politics, strict con- structioniste, free traders and advocates of pure and economical legislation. Tbe princi- pa! bond of union between these two factions is their hostility to the institution of slavery. On other subjects they are the very antipodes of each other. The old whigs were pretty general- ly in favor of the disfranchisement of this city by the Metropolitan Police bill, while the barnburn- ers, with few exceptions, were hostile to it, re- garding it as alike wrong in principle and policy. It is quite likely that this element of radical democracy will show itself conspicuously at the Syracuse Convention today. We should not be surprised to see it rising up, like the head of a pugnacious young ram just beginning to feel his horns grow, and butting against Seward and Weed and Matteson. Among the delegates elect is the Hon. Abijah Mann, of Brooklyn, who is aman of rome mark, and is known to look upon the Metropolitan Police bill as a fla- grant violation of democratic principles. It is understood, also, that Mr. David Dudley Field, of this city, has gone up with a batch of Peppery resolutions, all bapdsomely engrossed, cleanly folded up, and stuck neatly into the side pocket of his frockcoat. These resolations pitch into Sew- ard, Weed and Matteson; into Seward for his support of steamship grants; into Weed for talking about, like a ghost in a grave yard, in the Stateand national legislative halls, wherever and whenever lucrative lobby service is to be | Performed; and into Matteson for his patent and | stinking corruptions. We do not mean, | of course, that these prominent and odi- | ous names are mentioned in the resola- | tions. Oh, no! There is not a man in | the republican party—at least among the ac- | knowledged leaders—of pluck and nerve enough | to put them in, They don’t dare to say what they hope to inveigle the people into the belief that they mean. Weak, impotent and cowardly men should be rade of sterner stuff. In this | mealy mouthed timidity lies the secret of their certain failure. The people reasonably and cor- | rectly regard with entire distrust the denuncia- | tions of corruption by a party supporting the most corrupt leaders. | In spite of all their resolutions, Seward will | continue to be their great man ; Matteson will go | back to Congress as one of their standard bear- ears ; and Thurlow Weed—if he can spare his | time trom his stock speculations, recently become of a somewhat engrossing nature—will continue | to lead the party whither he will, like a subdued bull with a ring in bis nose. Axson Triats—Amarecr Iycenptantes—It is well understood in this community that acts of incendiarism are of frequent occurrence, not merely from motives of revenge, or for the purpose of defrauding the underwriters, bat from—strange as it nay appear—the pleasure de- rived from a conflagration. This latter motive usually actuates boys or young men, runners or followers of fire engines, who are always to be found on hand when an alarm is sounded at their favorite engine house. It must not be inferred from thisthat such characters are tolerated by the firemen; they are like the dogs ina Turkish vil- lage—nuisances impossible to chake off. Offenders of this class are but seldom brought before our criminal courts, owing to the difficul- ty of procuring evidence of their guilt, Arson is a crime easy to commit, but most dificult to detect, hence the incendiary may continue night after night or day after day his career of crime, and it will only be by some blunder on his part, or other accidental circumstance, that the guilt can be fastened on kim. It is unecessary for us to comment on the enormity of this crime, for a person who would wantonly and deliberately prepare, and as delibe- rately apply fire to destroy his own property or that of his neighbor's, is not only dangerous to the community but unfit to be at large, When cases of this description are brought clearly to light, it becomes the daty of our crimi- nal courte to take especial care to administer an adequate punishment, not only for the sake of example, but for the protection of the property and personal safety of our citizens. Otherwise, by permitting the guilty to escape with a nomi- nal punishment, our courts of justice would fair- ly be looked upon as encouraging the offence. We are led to make these remarks by the ro- suk of the recent arson trial which took place before Judge Russell, in the Court of General Sessions, last week. A young man named Mi- chael Wogan, Jr., was found guilty by ajury of wilfully firing the warehouse of Mr. Bearns, in Fropt spect. No one who understood the evr dence doubted the correctness of the verdict. It may be said, however, that the testimony was ciroumstsntial, but so complete was it is its char- acter, as prepared by Fire Marsbal Baker and aoly prosecuted by Mr. Sedgwick, Assistant Dis- trict Attorney, that it Jeft no sort of doubt as to the prisoner’s guilt. Ore of the remarkable features in this case was the showing by the defence that this young man was known a8 a runner to a fire engine, al- though not a member of apy compacy. fis great ambition and delight appeared to be a CQD- fingration; bence the efforts to gratify this viotous desire, We know that Wogan does not stand alone in this particular, but hia conviction will, we trust, operate as a salutary warning to others to desist from their evil deeds. It will be recollected thata few years ago several young men of respectable conaections were detected in the city of Utica Gring build. ings wantonly, and without any other eppareat motive than the love of witaessing a fire. One of the party, we believe the ringleader, was tried, convicted and hanged The execution of ths in- cendiary broke up the gang, and if an exampe or toro were made in this metropolis much bene- fit would arise therefrom.

The Convention is too fullof strong men to be very cesily managed. I think Noyes might bave the nomination tothe Court of Appeals if be pleased. ‘A generai topic of conversation here is the course of the temporesce party, Richardson, the late clerk of the house, and others of the Greeley temperance men, desired to stave off any Convention this year; but Delavan, at Chairman of the Executive Committee of the State socieiy, called ome to meet at Rochester on the 86th of the presen, month. Richardson and his committee, appointed by a Convention at Aubarn some years back, called another Temperance Convention to meet here on the 6th of October, hoping thereby to kill the Delavan Conven tion, and afier that to postpone their own inde” finitely, because it was tho wisb of the leaders of the republicans to go into the Canvass altogether free from the temperance iseue, The country temperance mea, bowever, do not yet believe that the idea of prohibition is exploded, and if they got together they wil! be dittioals to manage. Delavan, however determining that they should come together, has tseued a ox! postponing bis Convention, and requesting bis people to send delegates to the Couven- (ion calied by Richardson, thus takiog tbe wind out of the latter's sails.
