The steamer Indian, which left Liverpool on the Qist ult., had not arrived in the river St. Lawrence up to nine o'clock last evening. The Arago, from Southampton for New York, is now in her foarteenth day cut. The steamship Quaker City, from Havana 29th ult., arrived at this port yesterday afternoon ‘The steamer Star of the West, from Aspinwall for New York, arrived at Havana on the 29th, with the | Pacific mails and 715 passengers and $2,100,000 in | gold from California, $500,000 of which is on Eag- | lish account. Her passengers were all well, and | twenty-five of them, inc nator Broderick, took ding Col. Fremont and Se- | assage on the Quaker City. The cause of the dgteution of the Star of the West at spinwall was t ‘ival of the Golden Gate, which left San Francisco on the Sth ult., but receiv. | ed some damage to her machinery and was | obliged to put back, She reached San Francisco | on the 10th, and ferred her freight to the don the 11th for Panama. therefore, is three weeks later than previous acc ts, It consists of nothing specially important. The returns of the show that the people, by a large vote, have declared against the repudiation of the illegally contracted | Rtale debt. The yield of grain would be largely in ex: cess of consumption. The reports from the mines con | tinued favorable. The gold shipments to"New York | during the fit half of the present year amounted to & trifle over $52,000,000, showing a falling off of | $4,000,000 us compared with the corresponding period | in 1856. The decrease is mainly in the months of July, August and September, and to this fact some of the California papers attribute the ting com mercial revulsion in the Atlantic States. In Carson Valley the Mormons were preparing fora general | hegira to Utah, much to the relief of the Gentile portion of the inhabitants. The Star of the West will probably arrive at this port to-morrow. ‘The Quaker City brought $173,000 in specie. Ha- vana was perfectly healthy. The news of Gen. Mi- rasol's appointment as Captaindreneral was not received with much faver. The monetary crisis was beginning to be severely felt. One mercantile house bad failed for half a million, and it was feared that half a dozen others would soon go down. American gold was at three per cent pre- mium. Sugar had declined, but holders were firm, and would sell but sparingly at the redaced rates. Freights were consequently very dull. The stock of sugar on hand amounted to 160,000 boxes. Anotber cargo of coolies had just been landed, mak- ing the total of Asiatics brought in during the year 15,397, with 2.551 deaths in transitu. We have news from Honolulu to the 3d of Sep- tember. Hon. A. Pratt had succeeded Dr. Lathrop + United States Consul. Two guano islands, Lay- | pans and Liscankeys, bad been taken possession of q in the name of the King. The epidemic had disap- peared. Smal) silver change was much wanted. By an arrival at Boston we have advices from Cape Town, C. G. H., to the 2d of September. They | contain no news of interest ‘The Board of Supervisors passed upon a few onim- portant papers last evening, aud adjourned to Mon- day next. ‘The Board of Aldermen last evening disposed of a Golden Age, which sai ‘The news from fornis NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER morning. Hon. Wm. L. Dayton, the Attorney Gene- ral, will then conclude the summing up on behalf of the prosecution. It is possible that a verdict may be secured to-day. It will be seen by the weekly bank statement, in another column, that the movement is all in the right direction—that the contraction is in the proper de- partments and the expansion the same. The great increase in specie looks encouraging. The delin- quency of several railroad companies in their interest payments yesterday is referred to in the money article. The want of funds is beyond all question the cause of the default; but why the money is not forthcoming will probably appear in due course of time. Parties interested must have patience, and all will come out right. The President and directors of the New York and Erie Railroad presented themselves yesterday after- noon, by invitation, at the New York Stock Ex- change, for the purpose of making to the board an xposition of the affairs of the company. Mr. Mo- ran, the President, gave a long and detailed account of the condition and prospects of the road, and was followed by Mr. Lathers, one of the directors. Mr. Stebbins, one of the Board of Brokers, spoke in terms highly complimentary to the company, and introduced resolutions, which were adopted, pledg- ing to the company the sympathy and co-operation of the board. The stockholders and depositors of the defunct Towery Bank held: a meeting yesterday to deliberate. upon the condition of the affairs of that institution, We give a report of the proceedings, together with a detailed statement of the condition of the bank, in another column, A meeting of property owners opposed to the use of locomotives on the Harlem and New Haven Rail- road below Forty-second street was held last even- ing. A committee was appointed to wait on the General Superintendent of Police and request him to abate the alleged nuisance forthwith. We give elsewhere another chapter of the domes- tic drama of the Woodman family, inclading another pathetic letter of Mrs, W. to her friend, “dear, dear Babie.” Apart from the matter immediately re- luting to the Woodmans, our readers will find our report very interesting, as it gives an inside view of the method of conducting private asylums for the insane that is rarely obtained. A meeting of unemployed workingmen, number- ing several thousand, met in Tompkins square yes- terday, and appointed a committee to urge upon the Common Council the necessity of taking immediate measures for carrying out Mayor Wood's suggestions with reference to furnishing relief for the mechanics and laborers who are now suffering for lack of work. Two secret meetings of the Police Commissioners were held yesterday. At the first a great public question was before the Board, but neither the pub- lic nor the press would be admitted. If this habit of exclusion is continued the board will soon become a police inquisition. The second trial of Cancemi, charged with the murder of policeman Anderson, will take place on the 16th inst. A panel of one thousand jarymen has been ordered for the occasion. Cotton was quiet yesterday, and no sales of moment were reported. Breadstuffs were in better supply. The receipts for forty-eight hours preceding yesterday fore- noon embraced 27,000 bbls. flour, 145,000 bushels wheat, and 12,000 bushels corn, all by the canals and North river, and 6.104 bbls. flour by the Erie Railroad. Besides which the Southern steamers brought 2,443 bbls. flour and 6,959 bushels wheat. Notwithstanding the free ar. vals during the few days past of flour and grain, there is little or no accumulation of stock, the greater portion being bought up on arrival for export and by the domestic trade, Some fears are felt that at the close of navigation our stock will be so light as to enhance prices both to shippers and to customers. The heaviest receipts, after the termination of navigation, will come by the way of New Orleans, attended, bowover, with more risk and liability to damage than when arriving by the lakes and canals Flour was active yesterday , with free purchases for export ‘The market, however, closed tame, at the previous day's prices. The export demand for wheat was active, and the sales embraced within the neighborhood of 100,000 bush cls, chiefly Western, including Chicago spring at 81 01 a $1 0234, mostly at the inside figure, with other descrip tions quoted in another column.

Walker and the Administration. It appears by the latest intelligence from Washington that the adfuinistration, instead of removing or reproving Governor Walker for bis commendable course in the rejec- tion of that brazen-faced Oxford fraud in the late Kansas election, will practically en- dorse the propriety of the Governor’s conduct. He did that which was right in rejecting that Oxford fraud, inasmuch as it did not come within the list of “legal votes,’ upon which it was the Governor's duty to decide upon the elections to the Legislature. One of our morning cotemporaries throws | the burden of the despatches of Saturday last from Washington upon a member of the Cabi- net. These despatches, including our own epecial advices, were pretty positive in the de- claration that Governor Walker would at least be reprimanded concerning this Oxford swin- dle, upon the ground that he had assumed a power in the premises which belonged only to the Territorial Legislative Assembly, and be- cause, in the rejection of the said Oxford fraud, be had transcended his instructions from Washington. But, whether this infor- mation was or was not derived from the hasty conclusions of a single member of the Cabinet, we are now satisfied that the Cabinet will neither few papers, after which Alderman McConnell offered ® resolution directing the Comptroller to lease at suction the slip between piers Nos. 25 and 26 (Peck | blip,) East river, for bouts to be run to Palton street, | Brooklyn, or some slip adjacent thereto, for a term of ten year, It was referred to the Committee on | Ferries, and on motion of Alderman Wilson the Board adjourned to Thursday, in consequence of the eve of | election, in which the members were no doubt all ‘ore or less interested.

J.) Court of Oyer and Terminer. Messrs. 1. W. Scudder and A. 0. Zabriskie, the coun sel for the prisoner, occupied the entire day yester day in summing up the case on his behalf, and Mr. Golsiskic wil cocupy avout aa hour wad « ball sbig remove nor rebuke Gov. Walker for an act which it is the highest policy of the administra- tion to approve. What was this Oxford fraud? A ballot staff. ing budget of 1,628 names put down as voters on the second day of the election, when it was proved by the residents of the locality that there were not more than twenty people pre- sent at the pollat any time during the day, and that all the legal voters of the precinct had voted the previous day. There was no other course left to Gov. Walker, upon this evidence derived upon the spot, than the instant rejec- tion of this fraud, and there can be no other course for the administration than to uphold the Governor in his honest vindication of the law. We believe that had Gov. Walker closed his eyes upon this Oxford trick, and allowed, upon the strength of the false votes thus presented, the pro-slavery party of Kansas to take poswes- sion of the Territorial Legislature, that there would have been a bloody revolution in Kansas upon the heels of the moet- ing of the Legislature, and that a terrible popular reaction against the admini« tration would have followed throughout the North. We believe, too, that the course pur- sued by Governor Walker is approved by all boneet men of all parties in the North, and that it will he approved by the masses of the South- ern people of all parties. We have already, through our newepaper exchanges, received & number of testimonials of this sort from the North gad South, agd from democratic and op- position journals, We further believe that Mr. | | Suaut mug Starx ox Hanpep Buchanan bas never entertained a thought of removing or reprimanding Governor Walker for refusing to recognize that Oxford fraud upon a mere quibble of the want of executive sutho- rity, which could not be stretched into a plausi- ble pretence. Tt is somewhat unfortunate that, upon thy eve of our State election, the position of the admin- istration in reference to Governor Walker should have been 80 broadly misrepresented as ithas been, Yet such is our belief in the confi- dence of the people, that we do not fear auy serious effects to the democracy in this day’s election results. Mr. Buchanan's administra- tion of the affairs of Kansas has been too consistent and too popular to be overthrown by the hasty surmises of aday. The intelligent people of New York will require stronger proofs than these to shake their faith in Mr. Buchanan's integrity. And they may rely upon it that Mr. Buchanan is not the man to retreat from his Kansas policy of a strict ad- tuinisiration of the law, after it has substantial- ly and peaceably settled the question of slavery or no slavery in Kangas. 2 Gov. Walker and Secretary Stanton will off- cially remain where they are. They will not be removed, nor will they be rebuked into a re- signation, Their course will be sustained by the administration, and Kansas will come quiet- ly into the Union as a free State. “Bleeding Kansas” is safe. Let us attend this day to bleeding New York. Qvauirication of Vorrrs.—The law of this State provides that every male citizen of the age of twenty-one years, who shall have been a citizen for ten days, an inhabitant of the State for one year, of the county four month, shall be entitled to vote at any election in the district where he resides at the time of the election, A man of color must have been a citizen for three years and have a freehold estate of the value of two hundred and fifty dollars. State Taxatioy.—In one point of view, the question to be solved at the polls to-day amounts simply to this: shall the people of this State be heavily taxed or no? The republican theory is that the taxation of the people must be pushed to the highest point; as is shown by their increasing the taxes during the last year alone, to the tune of one hundred and twenty-five percent. Their idea of gov- ernment consists in loading taxes on the shoul- ders of the people, and using the money in such works as canals, &c., which never can by any chance be thoroughly completed, and which serve to feed an army of contractors and workmen, all of whom, singularly enough, are republican politicians, At the rate they are proceeding, our State taxes will at least double every year, and thus in four years, the man who pays $2 of State tax now will have to pay $16 per annum. This consideration should be carefully borne in mind by the public. In times like the present, every dollar is of consequence to the honest man; by voting for the republican candidates, people will be voting to impair their own means and to aggravate the evils which are now pressing with such keen severity on the trading portion of the community. They will be voting to increase the taxes at the rate of one bundred and twenty-five per cent per annum, and generally to progress in that direc- tion. Those therefore who think that the political concerns of this State are managed with too much economy, that the farmer, the mechanic and the merchant pay too little for the bless- ing of a State government, and that corruption is so little known in the region haunted by the Weeds and the Mattesons that it is absolutely necessary to encourage ite spread and devel- opement, will support the republican candi- dates to-day; but no others conscientiously can. Resewner.—That the election to-day is pure- ly a local matter. Wedonot make laws for Kansas, but for New York. We want a new Senate and Assembly, which will thoroughly overhaul the finances of the State and set them right. Vote only for such men, Look Ovi ror Boas Tick ~Men of all parties will do well to keep a sharp look out for bogus tickets. There have been so many eplits and cros#es und dodges of all kinds that it will be necessary to read the tickets through and compare them with the list of nominations which we publish elsewhere. A Litrix Trew oF $300,000 A Yean.—The partizan Police Commissioners appointed by a black republican Governor, and approved by a Senate of the same stripe, undertook to dismiss all our municipal policemen who did not prove faithless to their trusts, They dismissed them without cause and without that investigation secured to them by law. The consequence of this act of ignorant despotism is, that the city is held to be liable to these improperly dismissed officers for their pay. This item alone is esti- mated to be $25,000 a month, or $300,000 a year. Quite a nice little sum for us to pay for the luxury of having our police system managed by Albany Commissioners! This is altogether exclusive of the penalties we are suffering in the shape of nightly burglaries, garrotings and rob- beries promoted by our beautiful new police system. The $300,000 a year, of itself, ought to be quite enough to convince us that we are paying a little too dear for our black republican whistle. Let ws get rid of the bad bargain to- day. Tue Liqvor Law.—There are twelve thou- sand liquor sellers in the city, and of these less than @ thousand have applied for licenses under the new law. Some two or three hundred suits have been entered on the docket against them, and there is constantly trouble in our courts and among our people in consequence of viola tions of it provisions. If the people want to put a stop to this abuse they must take the re gulation of it inte their own hands, and make known their determination through the ballot box to-day. Tue Iseves.'The people of this city have a great work to perform to-day. They will not forget the odious Albany legislation by which the right of self-government has been taken away from them. The Police, City Hall and Central Park bills were all tyranuical asurpa- tions of our municipal privileges, That's the Kansas has bled to death, and the price of niggers has materially depreciated. Tne Orrontesity.There is no time to be lost in giving the black republicans the finish- ing blow in this State. To-day sounds their death knell. Let all good citizens flock to the polls and bear » hand in tinking the corrupt nigger worehippers deeper thau did ever plum- tact gound. issue, 3, 1857. Ovex. 10 Com- MiBsIONERS !—That is the question the people of this State have to decide to-day. The game that has been played with New York will be played with every other city and county ssoon as they become worth plundering. The example once set, there is no reason why it should not be carried out thoroughly; as Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo, Utica, Troy, Auburn, &c., will soon learn to their cost. In afew years the State government st Albany will have become as formidable a “central power” as the monarchi- cal system of Louis XIV. placed in the hands of the King at Paris, Local and municipal liber- ty—to the irreparable loss of which De Tocque- ville and all the other great publicists of France have attributed the chronic revolutions and miserable anarchy of that unhappy country—is pretty certain to be swept away throughout the length and breadth of the State, and the irre- sponsible power of Commissioners of the State government substituted in its stead—if at this election the people sustain the party which last epring robbed this city of its chartered rights, and stole our money to fatten Commissioners appointed by the central power at Albany. We suggest that this topic is at least as well worth considering by the citizens who propose to vote teday, as the wrongs of bleeding Kansas, and the trash which the republicans are not wearied of inventing ubout the sinister purpores 01 Mr. Buchanan, Let it be clearly understood that those who vote for the republican candidates vote for the modification of republican government so as to take away from the people of each city and county the administration of their owa affairs, and to vert the sume in the hands of Commis- sioners appointed by the government; aud that those who vote against the republican candi- dates vote for their retention in the hands of each constituency, however smail, the inaliena- ble rights of seli-government and local sove- reignty, which aie the cardinal poiuts of the democratic system. Only let us understand each other, then we can vote knowingly. A Jon vor tHe Usemrroven.—We can tell the thousands of voters who are to-day unem- ployed in our midst how they can spend an hour in a job that will be highly profitable to them- selves and the whole community. Let every one of them go to the polls and record his vote against the party which has disfranchised our city, and saddled it with an increased aunual taxation of 125 per cent. It will be at the same time a pleasing and profitable pastime. Let no one neglect to indulge in it. Tue Eveciion aNp THE Finayces.—In more sense than gue is the election to-day connected with money matters. Its result will affect not only the finances of the State, by putting a stop to the plunder system carried on with such tre- mendous success by the corruptionists of the Seward and Matteson school, but it may also have its bearing on the future financial policy of the republic. The agitation for a change in the present financial policy of the general gov- ernment is acquiring great strength and im- portance, and therefore it is more than ever necessary that the Legislature of the Empire State should be purged of its worst elements, and should be ready to meet this grand ques- tion in the true interests of the people. Let the State be no longer misrepresented by such a contemptible set of knaves and nincompoops as disgraced the capitol at Albany last year. One such experiment in politics is more than enough for a whole generation. Tue Preuic Works.—For nearly twenty years the public improvements of this State paid the interest on the State indebtedness, During the past four years they have been a burthen upon the taxpayers. Pick out men for your suflrages who study economy. Now is the time to economize. Quirr Execrioy.—To-day will probably be the most quiet and orderly election that ever took place in New York. No liquor isto be sold, and the polling places have been increased from one hundred and thirty-seven to one hun- dred and seventy-five. The rowdies and shoul- der hitters will be so well scattered that not enough will be found in any one district to get up a respectable ring fight. No excitement of any kind. State Taxes,—The State taxes are too high. In almost every county the subject of the taxes is made an important issue. Vote for those men who are in favor of economizing in the ad- ministration of affairs at the capital. Brisa Every Man to ‘tHe Ports.—Demo- crats, Know Nothings, black republicans and fusionists, bring your neighbor to the polls, in order that the strength of this great metropolis may be shown to the authorities at Albany. Let them see the number of freemen they have in a measure disfranchised. Tar Porice Bu.—The results of this mea- sure have satisfied our citizens that they are the best qualified to take care of the interests of New York. We don’t want any more Com- missioners from Albany to regulate our af- fairs, We are three-quarters of a million—all of usintelligent and abundantly able to judge for ourselves without interference from those who can have no idea of the wants and demands of our city, Whether we are to be allowed to do for ourselves what others have attempted to do, and have done eo badly, is to be decided at the polls to-day. Cer ory tae Corrertion Fexo—The in- creased State tax which this city had to bear this year is at the rate of 125 per cent over that of last year, The same rate of increase ap- plied throughout the State. As the black re- publican party is confessediy a party of epoils and corruption, it is no wonder that during its brief tenure of power the people should be so freely bled. In these hard times, however, such a tremendous increase of taxation is severely felt, and doubtless the corruptionists come in or many a prayer the reverse of a benediction from the suffering taxpayer, This is the day to give practical effect to the sentiments enter- ained toward these gentry. Vote down their ticket, and so secure retrenchment in our State government. Dos’t Forcer tae Tickte.—Remember, vo- ters, that we are called upon to-day to elect, not a Legislature for Kansas, but for New York: Don’t get on the wrong side of the Mississippi river. Tne Covnt or Arreats.—Our people will be called upon to-day to vote for a Judge of the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals is the court of last resort—it used to be called the Court for the Correction of Errors. The public shave found that the polls are the court of last resort, and they are going to pronounce their sion to-day Aaa pteranteriiimmas mening eagianicanemenstigeaieiareime~njeetianaicetiansipintaniiagiacanapeanpmmaetermaiptnnshegteiacintninet Tus Stare Senate—Tue Caxvipates vuis Crry axp VictSrry.—Mr. Richard Schell, Mr. Smith Ely, Jr., and Mr. J.C. Mather are the candidates of the democratic party for this city, while Mr. Samuel Sloan is the nominee from Kings county for the State Senate. They are all able, intelligent men—in a word, the right sort of legislators to send to Albany, We have had enough of republicans, for through them all kinds of corruption and swindling schemes haye been thrust upon us, and the only way the people are to get rid of it all is by electing good men. If they would not be crushed by taxation they should vote for the candidates we have named, They should try them, and see if they will come up to the good opinions their friends have formed of them, Everybody is economizing now—they are eco- nomizing up in the Fifth avenue and on the Five Points—and it is high time that politicians should also learn to economize. They say that Mr. Sloan has saved the Hudson River Railroad from going to the doge—perhaps he can save the State fin» ces from the same hard fate. New York anp Kansas.—A distinction we hope will be drawn to-day between New York and Kanse«. . People will remember that Kan- sas has becu settled and arranged, and that now it is New York which demandsattention, Kan- sas can stand very well by herself; New York, plundered right and left by the republican ma- jority, and stripped of the privileges inherent in democratic government, may well occupy a little attentign from her people. ‘Those therefore who still think that Kansas, though its affairs are now settled and laid on the shelf, deserves more thought than any other part of the country, may vote as they please; but those who think New York deserves a brief concern from its people to-day, will vote against the republican candidates. It is at any rate ridiculous to prate about Kansas now that its issues are settled and closed; but our issues, which concern us far more nearly, are only just opened, and we shall feel their effect—not in our feelings as philan- thropists—but in our pockets as citizens, hus- bands and fathers, pee ole Ee Tux New Lecistatvre.—-To-day a new Legis- lature will be elected, and as our legislators at Albany are the parties who have imposed all those swindling schemes upon us, it is for the people to decide what kind of men they shall select to make laws for them hereafter. None but the purest and most honest should be chosen, for only such can resist the in- fluence of the corrupt lobby which is always to be found at the capitol of the State as at the capitol of the nation, and which is just as corrupt. as scheming and as unscru- pulous. Only men therefore with consciences, who have taxes to pay and women to be pro- tected from the assaults of ruffians in our streets, should be elected. Tuk Svrrocgate.—The office of Surrogate is one of the most important that will be voted for at this election. Its incumbent takes care of and decides upon all wills and testaments, and the people should be particular who they elect to fill the office. Fortunately, there are but two candidates, Mr. Edward C. West on the democratic ticket, and Mr, Alexander W. Bradford on the opposition, so that there will be no difficulty in making a choice. Tue Covnty Ticket.—The democrats have put up a new man for Recorder and another for District Attorney ; and as our past experience proves that we need new men, and not old hack politicians, these are first rate nominations. They will both make efficient officers; and as this is the time to elect good men, of course the people will vote for them, At any rate, let us give them a trial. Bisepixg New Yorx.—For the last year or two there has been nothing in the newspapers but bleeding Kansas. Let the people to-day think of bleeding New York, and of the in- crease of taxation one hundred and twenty-five cent in one year. Let them think. also, of the hundred corrupt schemes that are being foisted upon the people, and say whether they had not rather look after bleeding New York than bleeding Kansas. Sam anp Sampo.—When Sam and Sambo agree to walk together arm-in-arm the demo- cracy must come out, or there will be no use for any extra gas in Tammany Hall to-night. Doy’t Bet ox Tue Execriox.—You will lose your temper and your money and your vote. Don’t bet on the election.
