The steamehip Norfhern Light, with the Califor: | nis mails and $1,664,200 in treasure, arrived eariy | yesterday morning.

Wo give, however, in another part of the paper, some interesting de- tails, together with a complete list of the names of the passengers lost in the unfortunate steamer Cen- teal America. There is no news of importance | from Oregon or Washington Territories or Carson Vauey. From the latter region we have ramors of troabie among tae Mormons, and of a battle between the Santa and General Harney, al! of which is en- | tire’ devoid of fact. | Oar advices from Chile show that a strong oppo- | sition to the government measures was being com- bined, aod an appeal would be had toa general election by the people. It was not anticipated that any violent revolution would take place; but the opition ws general that a more liberal policy than tuat foilowea by the present government would be fusogurated. The agents of the government of Pera were still prosecuting in the Chilian courts the claim agsiast the purchasers of guano from Vivanco, but the comult was not yet known. lo Peru either party makes any progress aquinat the other.

She is too strong for the government steamers, The British and French ships of war had departed from the Chincha Islands, and it was feared they would again fall into the hands of Vivanco (reat excitement had been caused among the guaao contractors by a resolution of the Con- veution et Lima ordering an inquiry into their man- ner of dealing with the government.

The steamship Daniel Webster arrived yesterday morning from Havana 11th inst. The news is un important. Money was eaey, and the health of the City satiafactory. At Bridgetown, Barbadoes, on the 22d ult., the Leqisiature was in session. The Governor, in his message, recommended the enrolment of five thou wand troops for five years’ service in any part of the Brith Cominiona. In case the troops are sent to Lodi, & militia corps will be raised in all the West Lndis iwiands for home service. The health of Bar badoes was very good, and the weather propitious. The appearance of the growing crops was most cheering. There was but a limited supply of pro- Gece oo hand.

Lamber bad also de- Clined from the eame cause. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the German democracy of New York city was held last evening at Pythagoras Hall, Cana! street. The special object of this meeting was the ratification of the resolu- tions and memorial passed by the regular meeting of the German Democratic Central Club, held on the 14th inst. The mrmorial were referred to will be found in our advertising columns of this day, and contains a strong remonstrance against the nomina- tions made in pureuance of the primary elections. This was a regular meeting called by the German Central Club, the President of which reused to give his sanction to a sham German meeting called to meet st the Shakspere Hotel, and the members repudiated any connection whatever with that meet ing, which they designate as consisting of parties acting in opposition to German views, and not on behalf of nor according to the sentiments of the German Democratic Central Club. Both parties claim to bave triumphed in the recent election in Kansas. The Chicago Times of the 14th inst., however, claims to haye intelligence from Kapsas which warrants the announcement of the election of Mr. Parrott, the free State candidate for Gelegate to Congress, by a majority of not less than five thousand.

It seems that the recent rains had weakened an embankment at Nine Mile Creek so that when the train came along it gave way, and the cars were precipitated, one apon the other, into the stream. To add to the horror of the scene the mail car caught fire, and all the mail bags save one were destroyed. Our account of the accident is very imperfect, owing to a suspension of telegraphic operations from some cause; but we are infermed that of sixty passengers who were in the cars two or three were killed outright and some dozen others were shockingly mutilated. Their names are given under the telegraphic head. A numberof prisoners were to have been sen- tenced yesterday in the Court of Sessions, but they were remanded till Monday, as the Recorder has not recovered from his indisposition. Helen C. Wash- ington, a flashy darkey, pleaded guilty to stealing a dress worth $100 from Mrs. Carroll, Houston street, Judge Rassell sent her to the penitentiary for one year. Thomas Higsby was convicted of larceny in stealing a gold watch, valued at $250, from Joseph O. Frost, on the 14th of September, while passing through Broadway: State prison two years. Frances" co Williams, a Spaniard, and .a segar manufacturer, was convicted of purloining a valuable gold watch and 50 in money from Abraham Kine, Ludlow street. The City Judge,in passing sentence, said that Williams was a notorious offender, and that he had been in court on a previous occasion “under the most infamous circumstances:” State prison five years. Wm. Wilkinson pleaded guilty to stealing a watch: penitentiary one year. Charles Vallot con. fessed to having stolen a valuable clock and a Bible and prayer book: remanded for sentence.

Our Earopean friends will now learn that the bank suspension has become gene- ral throughout the country, and that, at present, there appears to be very little prospect of a re- sumption of specie peyments. They will learn aleo—and learn with astonishment—that the court to which the law hae committed the police of the banks has stepped out of its way to an- ticipate the legal proceedings that would other- wise have been brought against them, has pro- nounced that tuspension of epecie payments is not insolvency, aud hes authoritatively though extrajudically declared to the world of bill hold- ers aud depositors that a bank’s promite to re- deem its paper might be violated without injury to the bank, if, in the enlightened diecretion of a | Supreme Court Judge, it seemed probable that the bank would be able to fulfil that promise at | some future period. Our creditors in England will regard this manifesto of the Supreme Court Judges as an indication that they are leagued in | a conspiracy with the banks to cheat the public; and really, considering the circumstances uader which the manifesto appeared, one can under- stand so natural an error. The mail will also | convey to the people of Europe the ead intelli- | gence that no relief whatever has been afforded | to the mercantile classes by the suspension of the banks; but that, notwithstanding all that was said about the means which the banks would ob- tain from the circulation at par of country bank funds, they are unable to enlarge their discount line, and merchaate continue to fail—more noise- lesely but not lees frequently than before. This will be terrible news—terrible to the unwary who forceaw it not, but hardly less terri- ble to the shrewd merchant, who, foreseeing the storm in the distance, would not or had not the nerve to ehoiten sail in time. Indeed, hardly any—but those whose income depends on agricul- tural lands—will escape the sweeping flood of destruction. We must expect to hear of failure after failure, and crash after crash, not only among the Engtish bankers and merchants with whom we do business, but among those who are east connected with us, though necessarily inter- woven in the general commercial web. For us, the signe of the times indicate that we are but at the commencement of a period of uni- versal and thorough liquidation. It is now abun- dantly evident that spasmodic efforts of commer- cial debtors to escape the crisis by means of loans and make-shifts can only have the effect of post- poning for a very short while the evil day that is upon us. It is not in the power of friends or even of banks to help embarrassed debtors, or expand- ed merchants) Almost without exception, the stocks, of dry goods, groceries, merchandise, stocks, and real estate which constitute the as sete of the people who are embarrassed at the present time, will euler euch @ depreciation that, when they are driven to the wall and forced to liquidate, they will, however eolvent they are ebown to be at present, be anable to pay one hun- dred cents on the dollar. As this conviction gradually preeses itself upon the public mind, the efforts to ehin through the crisis will be relaxed, and many merchants who now assume their ulti- mate safety beyond question will cease to struz- gie and see the necessity of liquidating at avy cost. And the number of those who will be driven to seek a compromise at any sacrifice will be eo great that it will at least ap- Pear to comprehend the entire commercial class of the country. As a natural consequence, it will involve the moet thorough social changes. When every mao bas fine houses and carriages to sell, there will be none to bay; luxuries will fall far below the cost of production; society will adapt itself to more economical usages, and the whole babits and manners of the nation will un- dergo achange. Nor will the revolution stop here. When every man is in liquidation, the po- litical queetions which will engroas public atten- tion will turn on banks, a Bankrupt law, cur- reney and the tariff; and the old questions of slavery and so-forth will cease to attract notice. Hence will follow an entire reconstruction of the pextics and political issues of the nation. We have yet tosee how the revulaion will affect the people of England and France. Of course it will lead to eimilar financial throes there; but the chances are that these will be but the first and least important of its consequences. Happening simultancously with the outbreak of a vastly expensive Indian war in England, it is not easy to see how it may, or rather how it may not, affect the already unquiet spirit of the people of England, to whom the re-conquest of India presents noattractions to compensate for increased taxation. And in France, where it is quite likely to precipiiuie the final culdute of the Crédit Mobi- lier, and to explode the vain theories by which the Bank of France and the other financial insti- tutions of Paris have been sustaining themselves, public credit, and the Imperial régime for the last two or three years—one cannot venture to say what terrible results it may not cause. Re- volutions have often flowed from less sources, The Government Fioances—Mr. Secretary Cobb Taking tn Sail. The following circular from Collector Schell indfoates pretty clearly the effect of the financial revolution upon the federal treasury. Read:— respecifully 1. ‘To Mesers. ——. Thus it appears that Secretary Cobb is taking ‘Your obedient servart, AUGUSTUS SIHELL, Oolleotor. erroneously supposed to be a sagacious financier, are abeolutely good for nothing under the ex- hausting pressure of this fearful revulsion. He has discovered that when banks break merchants fail; that when merchants are prostrated with their stores full of expensive goods, they stop im- porting, and that with the stoppage of importa- tions the revenues from the customs fall short. Mr. Cobb hae thus found out that with his Custom House receipta dwindled down to half a million a week they will not be sufficient, by a long shot, to meet the Congreesional appropriations of eighty five millions for the year. But he has made this discovery after reducing his treasury surplus in the redemption of government stocks, from twenty-three millions to six millions. Thus, in his generous efforts to relieve the community, he has reduced the government to the necessity of a loan. We have already remarked upon the con- trast between this astounding state of things and the flut:h calculations of the flush times of Mr. Secretary Guthrie. His sufferings were from a plethora of cash—his efforts were | all, therefore, directed to reduce the revenues and to deplete the suffocating patient; but with | all the liberal assistance voluateered by the land sharks and the lobby vultures, Mr. Guthrie, as | late as last December, estimated in his annual report that by next July there would be the distress- | ing surplus of forty-three millions in the Treasury. Mr. Cobb, we fear, was for a time deluded by this magnificent pile. But where is it now? Gone— miseing—-vanished like a dream. Lostead of forty-three millions surplus, there will most | Probably be a treasury deficiency by next July | of fifteen or twenty millions. Thus the stubborn facta of this revulsion knock the most splendid | theories into atoma Last December President Pierce was eeriously embarrassed as to the ways and means for getting rid of his numerous sar- | plus bags of gold; this coming December Presi- dent Buchanan will most probably euggest the necessity of au early loan to supply the wants of an empty treasury. Mr. Cobb, in this view of the matter, is pursuing the right course. “The pro bable amount of importations for the next twelve or eighteen months” has become a point of vital importance to the treasury: But Mr. Cobb may rest aseured that he will have to prepare for retrenchment and reform on a very large scale or for a pretty heavy loan for the next fiscal year; and he may rely upon it that the merchants who have not had the sagaci- ty to take care of themselves, will hardly be competent to give him the exact information de- sired in the premises. The treasury receipts for the month of last July at this port averaged from customs a million and a half per week— they are now reduced to a quarter of a million a week. Let Mr. Cobb put the difference into his pipe and emoke it, and if it docs not make his head swim he can etand any amount of smoking. Let him next refresh his memory with the pro- gressive operations upon importations and upon he treasury of the revulsion of 1437, and he will discover that his chances for touching bottom for the next twelve or cighteen months are exceedingly slim. Within the last twelve months we sent out 0° the country some fifty-eight millions of specie, and credits to an indefinite amount, for importa- tions, consisting largely of luxurious goods, now selling at less than the importer’s costa, We have an immense surplusage of such goods on had, and a general reduction of various things representing money, equal perhaps to three or four hundred millions of dollara, It ie quite likely, therefore, that for the next twelve months our imports, as compared with the last twelve, will fall short at least to the extent of the last year's exportation of gold of fifty-eight millions of dollars. Letusall do what we canto help Mr, Cobb, Troors vor Inpia.—Lord Napier informed our correspondent the other day that no applications on the part of American citizens to eerve in the Indian war could be entertained, because the British government had determined to dispense with the services of foreigners during that war. Thia determivation on the part of the govern- ment of England does not well harmonize with the condition of things both in Great Britain and the United States. In England, at latest accounts, the government was making frantic but uusuc- cessful efforts to raise troops for service in India. It had even been eeriously proposed to take the men miltiners from the dry goods stores, and make soldiers of them almost per force. As for the agricultural classes—who are the only really good material for an army—it is stated that all the recruiting sergeants in England have not been able to raise a single regiment since the Indian war broke out. Now, as it is quite plain that, unless England intends to give up India, she must raise somehow, at least as many more soldiers as ehe has now on foot, it would seem to evince but little forethought and vigi- Jance on the part of the government that no steps have been taken to ascertain whether the back- wardness of the British yeomanry at this crisis cannot be compensated by a supply of soldiers from elsewhere. We have, in the three cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia, at the very least 40,000 able-bodied men who will be out of work this winter, and who would jump at a prospect of a campaign in India, with fair remuneration. In the West and on the Mississippi 100,000 men are to be had for the asking. Most of these men are good shots and far better material for making soldiers than the artisans of Manchester or the street boys of London. They will fight, they will endure any hardship, they will obey intelli- gently. As to the legality of enlisting them, we take that to be unquestionable, as the Indian States or Rajabs are not officially known to our government; and even if it were not, no sane official in this country would iaterfere to prevent these poor fellows earning a livelihood, and thus eave them from doing mischief here this winter. RE-NoMINAtion oF Mayor Woop.—The cordial re-nomination of Fernando Wood for Mayor ef this city, by the united democracy, is a remarka- ble and significant movement. It is remarkable, considering the late divisions and factions and intestine personal squabbles of Tammany Hall— and very remarkable considering the proceedings of the democracy at Syracuse in the nomination of their State ticket; for we thus perceive that the pulse of the party does not sympathize with the etultifications of their State Convention; and this re-nomination of Mayor Wood is significant of @ democratic fusion in this city, which will irre- sistibly carry everything before it, in the Novem- ber as well as in the December election. The Know Nothings and the nigger worshippers may operate separately, or they may combine—the result will be the same; for an overwhelming ma- jority of the people of this corporation are with the democracy and their city standard bearer, as against the impositionsand usurpations of the last Seward Legislature. Several other things will operate to break down both the republicansand the Know Nothings in the city and throughout the State. The popu- larity of Mr. Buchanan’s administration—the dead failure of the “ bleeding Kansas” agitation —the tremendous pressure upon pvliticiaus and parties of the financial revulsion, and the revolutionary drift of the late Pennsylvania and Ohio elections, are among these things. In fact, all the signs of the times favor the presumption that the democrats will not only sweep this city in the approaching clections, but will also carry the State. The re-nomination of Mayor Wood is a well deserved compliment toa maa who has been tried in the office, and proved to be a capabie, firm and efficient officer. He has proved his courage and his tenacity in defence of our municipal rigite, and these qualities will insure us, in his re-elec- tion, the advantages of a Mayor able in any probable emergency, to maintain law and order. With the election of a Legislature that will have the will and the power to remove some of the ob- structions of the Seward oligarchy, our Mayor and our city authorities will be fully competent to preserve the peace and good order of the city. The democracy have now ao fair field before them; for we repeat that, with everything in their favor, they can, and most probably will, not only sweep the city, but carry the State in No- vember. Rests Mest Cove Dowy.—Yes, fellow-citi- zens, rents must come down. The high rates of the flush times of 1856 cannot long co-exist with the levelling tendencies of the revulsion of 1857. Rente must come down—real estate must come down—tast horses must come down—fast young men must come down from their fost horses, and stretch their legs by a little wholesome walking. Provisions must come down--hotel charges must come down—the pewa and other charges of our fashionable churches must come dowa—bread must come down, and the late enormous spread of crinolines must come down, notwithstanding the awful letting down in dry goods, Every luxury and almost every necessity must come down to the new especie standard, excepting, perhaps, lager bier, which will proba- bly remain at four, five, and six cents a mug.

The mail train, consisting of one baggage car, « mail car and four passenger care wore all, croopting the lavt car, thrown down an embankment of twenty feet. There were about sixty passengers aboard the cars. One passenger, ‘Miss Brown, of foronto, was drowned. My.

The mat! car was burned, as also all the mail bags, save one which wee saved by Mr. MoMastors, the mail agent, who came to bis senses only in timato save it. ‘The socident wee the most disastrous that hes bappened on the Central route for many years, The cars wore un- der full headway, and as they a»proache i Nine Mile Creek station, between Warner’s station and Syracuse, the engine suddenly plunged of the track, darting down ato tho Greek, some fifteen or twenty foot. The couplings appa- rently broke instantly, ax the first baggage oar plapged over right on the top of the engine. This was followed by he mall car and taree passenger cars, all of whish took the fear'ul leap, one after the other. ‘The cars were all well filled with passengsrs, andthe catastrophe was so sudden that only one shook was heard above the noise of the wheels, before all wore heaped together in common ruin at the botiom of tho gulf. The last car only remained on the track; and those forianate enough to be on board that carriage, instantly loaped out and went to the rescue of other passengers. ‘The socne presented was most awful. The mail car was turned bottom up, and was found to be on fire, having cavgh\ from the not stove. The first passenger car had turned on one side with the front pert buried in the water of the creek, which had risen bigh im consequence of heavy rains. In this car Miss “Brown, of Toronto, daughter of Mr. Brown, late of the Toroato Globe, was riding. After most of the passen- gers bad been got out of the rains, one of the persons searching found a shaw!, which he pulled out, discovering ‘a boman being, and he then with the aid of others drag- ged forth the body of Miss Brown. Shehad beea drowaed in three feet of water, and from a contusion on the head he bad evidently been stunned in the 0o!lisson. ‘The seccnd car was tarned broa: to the train, and the third car ran through the contre of it, outing it nearly tn two. The third car was emashed to pieces, the pas- sengers being ll crusbed together in one mam. Here Mr. Bronson, of New Britain, Conn., sat, and his bowels ‘were torn open by splinters of seats.
