Stone, of this port, from Galveston, arrived at Boston yesterday. This 1s the schooner co anxiously looked for, the cap‘ain of which promised to tay by the Central America at six o'clock of the fatal day on which she was wrecked. She did not save a single soul. It was confidently hoped thst this schooner, from her near proximity at the moment of the catastrophe, had Gaved many lives, and beating hearts were awaiting her arrival with an intensity of feeling tha: may well be imagined. ll hope that Captain Herndon Or apy otbers may have been saved is therefore at nend. Mr. Payne yesterday presented the watch given him by Captain Herndon to his widow. ‘The Boston Submarine Company propose at- tempting to raise the Central America and reco- ‘vering her treasure, as it is thought she lies in about twenty-eight feet water. They have been awaiting the arrival of the schooner for the purpose Of determining the latitade and longitude of the exact spot where the Central America sunk, as Captain Herndon is reperted to have given his posi- | tion to the captain of the schooner. The report of | present financial crisis is felt among business and moneyed men. ‘The trial of Michael Cancemi for the murder of Bugene Anderson, by shooting him with a pistol, was continued yes'erday in the Court of Oyer and Terminer. A number of witnesses were examined for the prosecution, the majority of whom clearly identified the acoused as the man who fired the shot. The District Attorney expects to close his case at noon to-day, when Mr. Blankman will make the opening speech for the defence. ‘The trial of James P. Donnelly for the murder of Albert S. Moses is well nigh conciuded. The evi. dence on both sides closed yesterday. The counsel for the defence commenced samming up the evi- dence yesterday afternoon. It is expected that a verdict will be had before Saturday night. The prisoner still maintains bis usual composure, but wanifests more in‘erest in the result of the trial as the finale is drawing near. Elsewhere will be found a report of the trial as far as it has progressed. Timothy McCarty was tried and acquitted yester- day, in the General Sessions, of grand larceny. He was accused of stealing twenty-one bags of wheat, on the 9th of September, 1856, the property of Fravshaw & Co. A correspondent, noticing a statement in one of the daily pagers that Mr. Moran had issuei an order requiring all trains on the Erie Railroad to stop be- fore pessing the draws at the Hackensack aad Passaic bridges, begs us to call atteation to the fact that this order was issued by Mr. McCallum long before Mr. Moran assumed the Presidency of the company. It may be within the remembrance of our readers that some two or three months since John Cooper, condnetor ot the Norwalk train, was suddenly seized pith sickness, and disd before he could make ary provision for his famfy. We learn that the commuters with the railroad company, holding Mr. C. in high esteem for his attention and courtesy at ali times, have made up a purse of $1,600, inclusive of $250 contributed by the railway company, for the benefit of Mr. C.’s widow and her fatherless }. children, to be paid quarterly, at the rate of $400 a year, thus providing for the family for the space of four years, by which time it is hoped that the eldest son will be in a position to do something towards their support. We hear, too, that the same gentle- men have just presented $50 to the engineer, who was found faithfully at his post after the accident near Fordham. The two brakesmen who were also at their posts received each $5 as a recognition of their faithfulness ander circumstances of peril to all in the cars, Thu condact of the commuters on the New Haven road cannot ve too highly com- mended, and we only hope that others may be found to “goand do likewise.” The sales of cotton yesterday were ctafined (> about 400 a 600 bales, without quotable change in prices. Tee market closed quite firm. It ts well kaown that the tock of American ootion in Liverpool! at the present time ts lower than it has boen at the same erason for many years Previously, yot trade continued goo! in Menchester. Fog | land is largely short in oot» oo nparod with otter years, while American manufacturers, !n tho present state of the ‘expor! trade fer cotton goods, have over purchased, or, that , produced goods in exces of thedemind Tasy can Boi prodtos heavy goods and sell them for probably ihs cost of the raw cotton The result ts that sales of cotton wade in this market for the East have in some anata been canceled, ard the cotton since forwarded 1) Liverpool av the desi market. A lot of 100 bales has been received from Providence and was sbipped yesterday for Liverpool. The engagements for thas port yesterday amounted to about 1 000. 1,200 bales, the freight clod og at 3-164, The weoxly ©opacm Aioe of cotton in Mapohesier has been est'mated ‘mt about 30,000 bales, while, at last accounts, the entire stcck im Liverpool consisted of 826,000 bates. of which 240,000 bales were American. The prices {1 Liverp»ol are now higher than they have been probably tor a quar- the Eidorsdo is given elsewhere. About $2,000 was added yesterday to the fund in | id of the sufferers by the Central america, which, ‘added to previous amount, makes $13,500 altogether ollected in the city It is presumed the fund will } reach from $15,000 to $17,000. another meeting of the committee will take place to day. | Our Washing’on correspondent affirms that recent gdvices from our Minister to Spain give indications | of # renewal of ili feeiing towards this government on the part of the Spanish Cabinet. The quantity of pablic land sold by the government daring the | Tast fiscal year was nearly 4,143,000 acres, and | She amount realizeo up «ards of $3,500,000. The Commiesioner of the Land Office has decided that | railroads are to have no lands set apart until after notual survey snd locstion. Dona'd M Kay, of Bos ton, one of the competitors for building the steam sloop-of-war, has entered a protest against awarding the contract t> Mr. Westervelton the ground that his models, plans and specifications do not come ap to the advertisement. Late news from Kansas, re- ceived at Washing on, states everything quiet, and | the proclamation of Walker ready for promulgation. | ‘Two companies of artillery had reached New Or- leans from Florida, on their way to Kansas, Mr Buchanan had gone to Lancaster on a short visit. The Free Suffrage Association met yesterday at Bpring Street Hall. Fred. Douglass was present at the time appointed, and after waitiog an hour, find- fing no’ even « dozen persons present, he retired in @pparent disgust at the apathy and Jukewarmness exhibited by the colored people of New York re- @pecting their obtaining the right of suffrage. The resolutions ajopted were very severe upon the black republicans, their import implying that they had been chested by them ont of their rights. A great deal of personal al ercation was indulged in, and long, windy speeches made. A committee of seven was also sppointed to watch and forward the inte rests of the oulored race in this State during the en. pming ression of the Legisia ure. Hon. Sanford E. Church, the democratic nominse for the office of State Comptroller, has written a | Tong le‘ter accepting the nomination. We have rece'ved « copy of the address of the re- publican State Convention at Syracuse. The news we give is & great dea! more interesting. A meeting of Netberlanders was held at No. 19 Centre street tast evening, as preliminary to the for. mation of « national society, on the pian of the St. | George, New England, St. David's, and others of lke character. There were but about forty persons in attendance, owing to the limited notice given; bot thirty of these agreed to meet on Wednesday next to complete the formation of the society. ‘There are about six thousand of the Netherlanders, or Holland Dutch, in this city, and this is the first Bttempt to aspociate them together. It is expected tha’ s flouri-hing society will be organized. In the Bourd of Aldermen yesterday, the reports ‘Trom the committee on the subject of a new aveaue or the relief of Broadway were received and read, ‘The majority report favors the extension of Church street to Trinity place, and the widening and pro- fongation of the latver to the Battery. The minority report recommends & route through Wooster street ‘and West Broadway. The reports, which are volu, Minous, were both laid on the table. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, but the business transacted was merely of ter of a century before. E2giand must enter our market f eely as the new crop comes in and shoald bills of ox- change remun at present prices, that is, at 105 a 106, or three and four per cent under the par of exchange, Great Britain, as well asthe Cont nent, in the next thirty or forty daye must send specie to this country to a pretty large amount t purchase cotion, if mot olser proiuoe. The estimates made regarding the extent of the present Grop of cotion vary materially, as the result will be iofa enced by the Iateness of frost. Many {1c the yield at from 8,000,000 to 3,900 000 bales; yet, were it to be 8,600,000 tt would ta the presest ¢xhausted supply and c pion de mana Of the world prove iasufficient.

Thus the stultified democracy are reduced to a | ttate of confusion and demoralization upon .the | practical popular ireues of this canvass which renders the party incapable of union, or harmo- ny or confidence, as between their principles and their ticket. A democratic resolution, endors- ing the Dred Scott decision, in conjanction with & democratic nomination of Gerrit Smith for Congress upon the slavery iseue, would possess as | much of consistency as this democratic condem nation of the Seward oligarchy coupled with this | democratic nomination of Judge Denio. The Know Nothings, or Americans, on the other band, have nominated a ticket consistent with the professions of the party, as far as they | go This consistency expecially applica to their | candidate for the Court of Appeals; for if the | constitutional views of Mr. Ketchum concerning | the Metropolitan police usurpation and its kin- dred measures are pot exactly koown, neither do | | | | | ® rontine character. The report of the Committee ‘on Lamps aud Gas, fecommensing the Comptroller fo pay no more money to Smith &,Bellows for light ing the apper part of the city with oil, was referred o the Committee of the Whole. The report of the Bpecial Comittee of the Aldermen, on reorganizing the departments under the new cbarter, was disposed ‘of in the same way. The Board, in Committee of the Whole, recommended a namber of papers to a third seading.

In fact, the Know Notbing managers have provided a ticket and a platform which will allow a pretty broad margin for all “Americans” who desire to “ rule America,’’ without being over nice or particular in regard to the paramount issues of this can- vas. A general hue and cry against the extra- vagant expenditures of the Seward regency may, flow with the milk and honey of repentance and reformation, In fact,as fares foe words will suffice to butter our parsnips, the managers of the Seward’ organization take the wind out of the sails of both the democracy and the Know No- things. Thus, while the rascalities of the plu- dcr gang of our last Legislature are confessed and deplored, their promises of atonement are Positively refreshing. We have no doubt that such men of tofty principles as Tharlow Weed and O. B. Matteson will read this patriotio, self- confessing, eelf denying Syracuse platform of their friends and brethren with tears of joy in their eyes, To sum up between these three parties on our State policy, we come to the conclusion that white they all denounce, condemn and deplore the atrocious ururpations and lobby epoits job: of our last Legislature, and while they are all Piofuse in their protestations and promi:es of reform, they are all playing the con- fidence game with the dear people of Peter Fuok, the mock auctioneer. The stniti- ficstions of the democracy, the unsatisfactory gexeralities of the Know Nothings and the hy- pocritical pretences of the Seward fusionists, we rato atabout the same value, As a demooratic mewber indicated at Syracuse, our managing politicians can give us almost any resolution that is wanted, and it is because while the man is the great thing, s party resolution means anything or nothing, as the occasion may require, ‘The real question before the people is upon a choice of men in this State election; aud here, we apprebend, the speculators, stockjobbers and lobby coips at Albany have the inside track with each of these three aforesaid patriotic pure and disin- tercsted Syracuse conventions. We apprehend that we sball obtain no relief, no reforms, no re- trercbments from our Albany law-makers short of a eweep'ng populer revolution, which shall drive the managing stockjobbers and spoilamen of our corrupt existing parties into the back- ground, and inaugurate a new and dominant perty, fresh from the ranks of the people. To this end not a great deal can be done in the in- terval to our November election; yet somethiag to the purpose may be accomplished from the in- dcpendent action of every independent man in regard to his candidates for the Legislature. Thos, for example, the de- moralization and disintegration of our corrapt existing parties can be exbibited co clearly as to create an immediate opening for a new popular party organization, up to the exact necessities ard issues of the day. In this view, we believe that at this moment, upon a fair test, the administration of Mr. Bu- chanan would receive a mejority of the suffrages of the people of the Empire State. The demo- cracy at Syracuse were at least pertectly harmo- nious in their approval of Mr. Buchanan’s policy, as thus far developed. The Know Nothing St Convention expressed its consent by its silen for that silence was, undoubtedly, the result of a conviction of the rapidly growing popularity of our honest President witn the masses of the people of all parties, “Bleeding Kansas,” how- ever, continues the mainstay of the Seward disorganizers, when, in truth, the doings of Gov, Walker in Kansas will no more apply to the practical issues of our November election than the movements of Gen. Walker for a new inva- sion of Nicaragua. The people of Kansas are taking good care of themselves—the people of New York, wholly in- different to party conventions or party platforms, but with o vigilant eye upon the speculators and stockjobbers of all parties, and upon their schemes, should sift the various candidates before them—especially for the Legislature—and choose accordingly. In this way something may be done as early as November to break up our corrupt party combinations of the day, and to clear the track for « whulesume popular revolution. Tue Poxisument or Crime.—It has been the habit to attribute the unprecedentedly rapid in. crease of crime in our city to the defective or- ganization of our police force. This, althoagh partially true, is far from being wholly ao. There are other caures which have infinitely more to do with the epread of crime than that upon whick the burden of the blame is thrown. It is pot eo much of neglect in the detection of crime a# in its panisbment that we have to complain. Were the last stages of public prosecutions as vigilantly conducted as their ivitiatory ones, our criminal statistics would not present so unfavorable an sppearance. The worst of remissness in the one is that it produces a reloxation of activity in the other; we have proof of this in the well known reluctance of policemen to make themselves conspicuously troublesome to the police justices. They know that they will get no thanks for any extra dis. pley of zeal—tbat, on the contrary, they will in all likelihood get reprimanded for it, and that unless the chee be a very flagrant one indeed, the offender will be able to turn the tables upon them. Even where the charge is brought home, there are fine chance* to one that iufluence or money ill render nuge tory the labors of the police. In evidence of this we have only to instance the enormous number of prorecutions which are annually instituted, but which are never brought into court, Even when offences are brought to trial, the uncertainty that prevails in regard to verdiots, as well as in re ference to the punishment of criminals, is in itseif fufficient to defeat the ends of justice. If, thea, neither juries nor judges will discharge their duty, it is evident that there is very little use in the police fulfilling thetra It will be admitted that these statements accn- rately dercribe the operation of our criminal tystem. If there has been any modification in the ploture of late, it is entirely due to the exer- tions of a single man. The results of bis labors +how how much can be effected by one energetic miod when actuated by upright and conscientious motives, However inveterate the party apirit which op-, pored the elevation of Jadge Russell to the bench, we believe that the benefits conferred on the commuvity by his judicial career, short as it has been, have converted that feeling into one of es teem and admiration. During a period when our city waa reduced to a state of complete anar- chy, #ben the police force was paralyned by ite Giesensions, and when we were left almost with- out any protection against the midnight burglar and aw n, the energetic vindication of the law by Judge RaseelJ, and the rigorous punishments inflicted by him upon offenders, etrack terror into the hearts of evil doers, and effectually kept perhaps, do as well aaa string of specifications; | down crime.

The punishment bas been commented upon as being excessive, and ashaving a sendeacy to defeat its objest, but we cannot concar in such absurd reasoning Tt is these refined gradations of puaithmeat which more than anything else have contributed to neutralize the power and efficiency of our criminal laws. They afford a scope for legal in- genuity to exercise iteelf in, to the profit and bane- fit of the dangerous classea, and to the great in- jury of the honest portion of the community. I’ there is any class of offences which should be vicited with Dracovian eevority it is that of whick Henvighan was convicted. All hesitation or terderness in euch a case is misplaced, and Jadge Rosell deserves the thacks of the public for the signal example be bas made of such @ raffian, Tux Cry or “ Wor” Not Atwars a Van Avarm.—Voltaire once boasted in a letter to a friend that, without quitting hie arm chair at Ferney, he could make as much money as he pleased in the Paris money market. He was enabled to do thie, he added, through the ageocy of one of his old ascociates, who was in the Bank of France, and who gave him timely iufurmavion when the bank was about to curtail or expand ite operations. Our present financial sufferings ate to be traced to the came eimple but occult influences as those to which the Ferney philosopher gives us the key. Those who attribute them to the agency of the press know nothing of financiering, either in ita theoretical or practical bearings. The per- sons who utter such absurdities are simply the outeiders and dupes who are periodically pluck- ed and pigeoned, and who, in the flatterings of their distress, wildly eeek to cast tha blame of their misfortunes oo their nearest ostensible in- strument. Nothing can be more silly, or more calculated to blind the uninitiated to the unsoru- pulous machinations of which they are the vic- tims. As well might they blame the bank note reporters for the stoppage of the banks whose bills they record as unsound. If we substitute for the literary speculator at Ferney the numbers of wealthy monopolirts connected with our banks and railroads who make use of their positions in those concerus solely to control the market and to conduot to a successful issue their own private operations, we will fied the true explanation.of the financial phenomena which from time to time disturb and distract our community. When the banks begia to contract their discounts, they obey the impulse of regular, and not of irregular iofluences, as is vulgarly supposed. The curtailment and expansion of their operations are directed by an egency as inflexible and almost as periodically exact as that of the ebb and flow of the ocean. It is the invisible but all controiling power of the great money monopolies which produces with premeditated purpose these financial panics, for through them their largest gains are usually made. It is a matter of no consideration to these interests that in order to swell their ill gotten profits they must con- tribute to the ruin and destruction of thousands. When they have got a superfluity of idle funds they must be employed at any cost of humanity or principle, and they accordingly curtail discounts and put the screw on trade, knowing well that in the crash which these mea- eures will occasion they must benefit largely by the sacrifices of property to which they wiil lead. We can illustrate this position by the state- ment of a simple fact. Within the last two months the baoks of New York and the leading Atlantic cities have curtailed their discounts to the amount of about $30,000,000. Ia view of the excees of our importa over our exports a little caution was undoubtedly required, but were there circumstances in Our Commercial condition which called for an amount of contraction like thie? The couutry was never more prosperous than it is at present; never, we believe, have our banks and mercantile houses genera!ly been in #> sound aatate. If they were not so, the pressure from which they are now suffering would have swept them away by shoals. We are, therefore, juati- fied in saying that were there no new-papers in existence, the ex'reme measures adopted by the banks woald in themselves be sufficient to pro duce all the existing alarm and distress. ‘The fact is that the press has had but little to do ii aggravating the present crisis. The first evidence which it had of the etorm that was ap- proaching was that derived from the qnarreis and exposures connected with the Michigan Southern Railroad line—the next the Ohio Trust explosion. We would have been grossly want- ing in our duty to the public if woe had not cautioned them as to the downward movement that was preparing. Had we not raised the voice of warning in time, the mischief would have beea influitely more wide spread and calamitous, THaineao’s Last Graxp Comcunt —The last of Thalberg’s © n-erte for the present season was attented inst n'ght at Miblo's Seicon, by © very large and brillisntentience Te P im tpal a tractions wore Lagrange, Thalberg and Vieux + mpe, each of whom svoceeded completely in delighting their audience.
