Feasts and Fast of the Immaculate Conception—General Public Rejoicing—Hopes of an Heir to the Throne of Spain—The Sugar Market stilt Low—Freights Improved— Rates of Bachange, dc. The fast of the Immaculate Conception is upon us, and we are having full vollies of religious rejoicings from the cannon of the Cabanas ramparts and from the grateful ‘throats of the faithful now filling the streets and churches, whic are graced by all the law and order creations of eivil and military dignity, escorted by woops of soldiery, who Jace our affections and our devotions for the things of earth or of heaven, The houses are decorated with cur- tains, red and yellow, upon the outer Dalcouics; national banners flying from the roof tops, and the pavements wade clean, that we may not soil the festive garments of the devoted faithful, Levees, balls, drinking and feasting from palace hall to the beggar’s hovel, make the action of the day and night. We are waiting for & day, when ‘8 son will be born—the nation’s hope—for the salvation of the throne of San Fernando, against which “the tempes- twous waves of revolution” and freedom ‘will break for ‘ages in vain,’ That is, without moral effect upon the heart of Spain. If the Queen should fill the national joy, 2s anticipated, M will heal all our commercial troubles—our very follies ‘will let loose such a quantity of the precious metals that aii tightness in the money market will disappear; add to ‘which 10,000 negroes to be introduced from Africa in six ‘months, will put in immediate circulation in the various channels of our industry $5,000,000, which, in the inter- whange ramifications will be all that we shall require to aid in putting forward the crop now taking in. ‘We are very comfortable, aud likely to be more so when the ghost'of Ranquo passes from the royal mind— or Walker is routed from Nicaragua the second time, ‘Our sugar market has become steady at the low rates recently advised, and a struggle to advance the figures against unfavorable news has been overcome.

Another Slaver Seized—Unpopularity of the Captain Gene- ral—Ihe Reason Why British Qruisers have been With- drawn from Cuba—Revival of the Stamp Act—Operatic Flare up, dc., de. if what I have heard be correct, it is not likely we shall soon see another American built vessel brought into this harbor, as a prize to the Spaniards, having been captured with Bozal negroes on board. Tbave been told that the Captain General having express- ed to an intimate friend the great disappointment he experi- enced at the small number of the ‘solid men’” of this city ‘who attended his last bal on the 19tb ult., he was inform- ed they did not approve of his then policy, which they did not conceive was calculated to promote the general prosperity of the island; and as they could not, therefore, meet his Excellency upon the terms they had been ac- customed to do, they had thought it best to stay away. Upon this broad hint, it is stated his Exceliency intimated they should not have occasion thereafter to complain. Although I do not pledge myself for the entire truth of the foregoing, and although it would appear singular that General Concha sbould have given any intimation as. re: spects his future policy, yet, as we kuow, be desires ag much as any man living to attain public popularity, and a6 the slave dealers, when elated, are very apt to let their tongues outrun their better judgment, it appears to me to be very probable that some such intimation as the above had been given, and the » 1 send it to you Whilst on this subject, Iam reminded J have discovered dhe cause of the absence of avy British cruisers from the coasts of this island for some months past. The present British Commorore of this station, whose name I believe is Kellett, and who, as you are aware, chielly dwells at Jamaica, has, it appears, taken a personal dislike or hatred to the island’ of Cuba—to gratify which he keeps away from this island all her Britannic Majesty's vessels-of- war, despatching them as they arrive to other parts of the Station, Amongst other orders issued by him was one that no British vessel-of-war should come into this harbor, but that, if requisite, they sbould communicate with the British duthorities Mere, the vessels remaining outside; Aat should, from want of water or any other cause, a Britieh vessel-of-war be compelled to come to anchor ‘in this harbor, it was not, under any circumstances, to remain here longer than ‘twenty-four hours. I have this from a source that does not permit the sligatest doubt as ently, as the Spanish cruisers sof slavers, and as th ish cruisers off this islaud during Commodore Keilett’s term of service on this station, will it de any wonder should the numbers of slaves landed in Cuba increase to a frightful extent? It, however, may be that the above notice of Commodore Kellett’s conduct in the columms of the HeRaLD may either eause him to ehange his corse of conduct or induce the British govern. ment to supersede hum in his command By « royal or'er from Spain, published recently in tho | a, 4 law of the year 1830, which strangely enough | deen permitted to fall into disue:ude is called again | it requires every sheet of a merchant's tamped—the first sheet with, 1 am told, for (the old law is merely referred to, not again publisbed) & stamp of balf an ounce (88 50), and each other sheet With & stamp of two reals (twenty five cents), This tax, a8 YOu may suppose, will fall heavily upan the large com mercial houses, and though they may grumble at it, that tall they will do. The Captain General ® aiso required © send to Spain the names of the authorities who for so Jong a period have omi:ted to enforce the payment of this “rent,” and to endeavor to calculate the amount of jogs to the royal treasury occasioned by its non collection. What other country than Cuba, or people, than ber inka tant’, would quietly submit} mstrous tax, im powed for the benefit of a government and country? ‘As it ever the case with the Italian opera people, there should arrive in this city—however, yielding to Maretzek’s hak been a difficulty between Max Maretzek and Ronconi.

The Convention will meet at Troy, the county seat, on Satur- day, the 28th iust., when we shall know conclusively what course the democrats, as a party, intend to pursue. MASS MENTING AT TOPEKA, K. T. ‘A large and enthusiastic mass meeting of the citizens of ‘Topeka assembled in Union Hall on the evening of the 234, and organized by appointing a ident and secretary. A committee on resolutions was chosen and made the fol- lowing report, which was unanimously adopted :— Believing, with our revolutionary fathers, that a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires a statement of the causes for our political action, we adopt the lan- guage of the immortal signers of the Declaration of inde- pendence, and assert that we hold these truths to be self- evident—that all men are created free and equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalicaa- ble rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pur- suit of happmess; that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government seems subversive of these ends, it is the right of the [as ond to abolish it and institute a new go- vernment, ing its foundation on such princi- ples and organizing its power in such form as shall seem to them most likely to effect their safety and happiness. ‘When a long series of abuses and usurpations pursued in- variably the same object, evinces a desire to reduce the people under an absolute despotisin, it is their right and their duty to throw off such goverament, and provide new guaranties for their future vecurity. The history of the present government in Kansas is of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct ob. Ject the cstablishment of a complete tyranny over us. To prove this. we submit the following facts:— It has refused ite assent to a constitution emanating from the people, under which laws wholesome and necessary for the public good were enacted. It has forbidden our Legisiature to pass laws of imme- diate and pressing importance, and has refused to cause other laws to be passed for the accommodation of large districts of our people, and likewise demanded that the people of these districts should relinquish their right of representation in the Territorial Legislature, ‘a right ines- tunable to them and formidable to tyrants only.’” It has dissolved a Legislature of the people for opposing, with manly firmness, invasions on their rights. It has appointed aud sustained among us profligate, cor- rupt and partisan judges, who neither administer justice hor promote the public weal. Tt has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of the people. It has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdic- tion foreign to our wishes and constitution as well as the coustitution of the United States, giving its aasent to their acts of pretended legislation. It has imposed taxes on us without our consent, and has deprived us of @ fair and impartial trial by jury. it has altered fundamentally the form of government instituted by our fathers—falsely interpreted their statutes and enforecd upon us a tyranny in contradiction of the ** Nebraska bill.’” It has suspended our own* Legislature, and declared a spurious and foreign body invested with full power to legislate for ue in all cases whatsoever. it has conspired with, and aided robbers, assassins and murderers to ravege our farms, barn our towns, and de- stroy the lives of our citizens. it is at this time sustaining among us an army of hired mercenaries to complete the works of death, deselation and tyranny already begun, with cirenmstances of cruelty and perti¢y scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and «tally unworthy of c'vilized ations. It has protected and aided a band of ruffians and out- lawe not elected by the —_ to any office, in the work of forming a constitution for the State of Kansas, and taking the initiatory steps in the formation of a State overnment, in its action supplanting the Territorial ‘egislature, elected by the people in October, at the ex- peuse of every personal feeling for the public good, re. ying as they did upon the oft repeated promises of a fair election, and the privilege of young upon ‘said constita- tion, which privilege is now denied, and no remedy al- lowed. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A power whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to exercise rule over a free people. We have not been wanting ip loyalty to the national government—we have warned ft, from time to time, of the attempts of its so-called Legislature to exercise an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us, and we have submitted to its dictates, from time to time, as the expense of every political and personal feeling; we have reminded it of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here, we have appealed to its native justice and magnanimity, and have conjured it, by the common ties of our kindred, to disavow the usurpations which would materially interrupt our friendly connections and correspondence, but it has been alike deaf to justice and consanguinity; we must therefore acquiesce in the necessity which calls for the in stitution of our State governmeat. Resolved, By the citizens of Topeka, in mass canvention assembled, that our delegates be requested to urge the Delegate Convention, at Lawrence, on the 24 of December, to set forth the facts contained in the above, as the basis of their action, and appealing to God and a discriminating world for the rectitude of their conduct, to firmly raolve upon the institution of our State government under the free constitution. Resolved, That the minions of the slave power, in their pretened submission of the Lecompton constitution, by submitting to the vote of the people but one article, and that article entirely superfiuous, leaving the instrument as purely pro-slavery as the constitutions of Texas and Georgia, and beyond the reach of the people, publish to the world for the thousandth time that they are cowards, tyrants and traitors to the liberties of the people and con stitution of our country. As such we brand them, and declare that they have forfeited the respect of every honest man and the protection of society. Resolved, That we earnestly request Governor Robin con to ea | A apecial meeting of the State Legisiatare at the earliest practicable moment, and recommend the enact. ment of such Iaws as will promote the public good. Dr. Cutler introduced the following resolution, which passed unanimously — we recommend ihe appointment of a local vigilance committee of —— members, and we pledge Ourse:\ce to sespond Wo the calls and sustain the acuon of that committee, whatever it may be. FIRST AND SECOND PROCLAMATIONS OF PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR CALHOUN, fitom the Leavenworth (K. T.) Journal, Nov. 27.) e received, too late for publication in this issue, the lamations lasued by Mr. Calhoun, the President of the Lecormpton oligarchy, under the name of a Coustitational Con vention—the first giving notice of an election (?) to be held on the 2iet of December ensuing, to determine the slavery question in Kansas, and the second ansouncing that on the first Monday in January , 186%, an election will be held for Governor, Legislature, &c., &¢., for the State when the Topeka folly reached ite eum mit, that human ingenuity could rise ho higher for a Mo. mus to worship, we thought that Robinson, Lane & ©», itled themselves to be considered transcendently ¢ ail others the veriest humbugs, or humbuggers, or humbugged men on the face of ow wide earth. Put it is evident that this prolific nineteenth century had not ex hausted the wonders to be produced. Lecomptan must equal Topeka and Big Spring, and Calhoun & Co. must not be surpassed by the redoubtable Robinson & Co. We have now a Territorial government authgrized by the Congréss of the United States, under which Governor Walker is discharging his executive duties. We have a State government operating under a constitution framed at Topeka in the fall of 1865, under which (1) Charies Robinson is the executive, and now we have the briltiant prospect of a third govorhment, a secoud State govern ment in Kansas, with Mr. Jobn Calhoun as acting Govern or, and a Legisint &c., ke., elected under « constitu tion which bre not yet been adopted, or under which Kaneas bas not and never can be admitted into te Union. We understand from our friend and neighbor of the Young America, that the old liners will speak by and by, if so, we will doubtless have a fourth government put into oper ation ere another summer passes by. But we forbear un til our next issue. CONVENTION OF THR PROPLE AT LRAVENWORTIT.

There are a few thing Which it is my duty toxay lo you. First, to apologize to the citizens of Leavenworth City for a little more violence in my speech of the 14th instant than Iam in the habit of using! (A laugh.) For the first time in my Kansas life i was absorbea in anger. It was ahealtby anger. It had doen gathering and gathering and gathering, until I felt it was for the safety of my very life to throw it off. For the first time in three years I met those men—no, no, not men, those fiends who have been howling after me—face to face, For the first time during my career in Kansas, had I obtained a hearing from those wretches who have a price set upon my life, and I felt it a duty my God re- quired of me to express my contempt of their villanous deeds. (Cheers.) While I correct myself to you, citi- zens of Leavenworth, and ask, humbly ask pardon of my God for the profanity I used upon that occasion, I would not retract to those perfidious villains a single word, or al- lay one particle of anger.

(Continued applause.) * & 8 8 € 8 «3 0 Thave noticed, even while on your committee to day, a Rite, uncercurrent, a sort of policy, which may result’in istracting the people of Kansas before the victory is won. ‘A few men are g for their personal political in- terests. We have in our hands the interest of millions yet unborn. Shall we then try to build up a Walker or anti-Walker party, which some People are trying to do? Why the people will give Gov.

(laughter) and yet at the same time representing the whole interest of the Smith, Jones and Brown families, (Continued laughter.) Let us not, then, witbhold any praise from Governor Walker when he does his duty, nor over praise lim simply for keeping his oath. 1 bave alvoseen an inclination to distract the people of Kansas into a peace and war pariy—a conservative and a fanatical party. Great God! Call a man conservative who is in favor of leaving this question and that constitution for Congress to settle aud reject! Call it conservatism to do nothing! Is that peace? Call a man fanatical who stands forth determined to protect and defend the most sacred right God has given him! (Tremendous cheering.) Call that fanaticism’ Then Heaven will hear witness that nine- teen twentieths of the people of Kansas are fanatics! Fa- natics determined and irresistible! (Loud applause.) Yea, call it a war party, if you please; for it hath buckled on its armor, and is ready for battle. (Deafening shouts here greeted the speaker, which would subside for ‘a moment only to burst forth with renewed vigor.) John Calhoun has issued his two proclametions, as pro- vided by the new constitution—one to vote on the 2ist December, and the other to elect a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, &.; and algo to elect members of the Legisla- ture on the Ist of January, 1858. He has selected the most ultra pro-s'avery men as Commissioners to appoint Judges of these elections. DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL CONVENTION. We invite the particular attention of the democracy of the Territory to the call for a convention, to be heid in Leavenworth on the of December. The ob- ject is to ask Congress to pass an enabling act in our favor, under which the peopie of may mect, by representatives in convention, frame a constitution and apply for admission into the Union under it as a State. if is the only way in which this troublesome question can be settled peaceably, and we have no doubt the de- mocrcy of the country Will sustain us in the application. Let every county act with vigor in the matt let the people meet in their primary meetings and conventions without delay, and send their good and true men along. DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL CONVENTION. The general interest of the democratic party of Kansas Territory requiring consultation and concert of action, the party in every county is earnestly requested to appoint delegates to attend a convention, to be held at Leven- worth City, on Thursday, the 2ith “day of Decomber next, to memorialize Congress to pass an act enabling us to or: ganize a State government TTTEE.

The early discovery of the fire prevented its spreading much beyond where it commenced. The exammation of the store showed most conclusively the fire to have been the act of an incendiary, from the fact of finding three empty bot ties, which, from their smel!, hadfbut recently contained canipbene, and further, a large quantity of the dry goods emelt strengly of camphene, no doubt saturated by the contents @f these bottler.

The jury, in view of the evidence elicited, rendered the fol- Jowing verdict:—*‘ Death by having been run over by one of the Eighth avenue cars while attempting to get on the front platform of the car, the car being in motion at the time. The jury believe ihat it is utterly impossible to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents unless the front platforms are closed so as to prevent i getting on and off, and recommend the Common incil t pass an ordinance requiring the city railroad companies to place gates at the front end of the cars.”” The deceased was @ native of this State, and was fourteen years of age. AyoturR Cask.—Coroner Perry also held an inquest at the New York Hospital, upon the body of a man named Edwin Flannigan, who died from the effects of injuries re- ceived by being knocked down by one of the Eighth ave- nue cars on Thursday last. The deceased, it appeared, attempted to cross the track while intoxicated, when a car came along, and before the driver could pull up deceased was knocked down and dragged under the wheels of the vehicle. The jury in this case rendered a verdict of «Death by injuries caused by having been run against and knocked down by one of the Eighth avenue railroad cars. The jury believe that deceased was Intoxicated at the time of the accident.” — Deceased was about 35 years of age, and was a native of this State. He was long a driver on one of the Broadway lines of omnibuses, and was known among the stage drivers as the man who could drive sixteen horses in handsome style.

The complainant stated that on the 1st inst. he was induced to enter a house of prostitution at No. 90 Reade street, by a courtesan whom he met in Church street, and that while in there he was robbed of $150 by means of the well known el game. The complainant had $350 in bis pocketbook, but the thieves very cunningly left half of the amount behind, so as to lull suspicion should the countryman examine wallet before leaving the house. The bills extracted were of large denomina tions, and consequently were not miasseed from the roll for some time after the robbery. Jus- tice Osborn, on hearing the complaint, issued warrants for the appreheasion of the above named par- ties, proprietors of the establishment, and placed the same in the hands of policeman Webb for execntion. Webb im- mediately proceeded to the place, and made an examina- tion of the premises, when he found the sliding panel in the wall of the bedroom referred to by the complainant. The prisoners were brought before the magistrate, and held to bail to answer the charge preferred against them, Cuaxcen wir Rounixa A Femare.—John Hine, a man about six feet highand broad in proportion, was arrested by policeman Wilson, of the Sixth precinct, on the charge of robbery, preferred against . by a delicate looking woman, named Bridget Major.

BERMON BY DR. TYNG. ‘The apnua) wermon of tbi« society was preached at Dr. ‘Tyng’s church last evening, the house being well filled by ‘a highly 1s; ectable audience. The sermon was preached by the pestor, Subject, Tract Missiens for 1858.’ ‘Text, fourth verre of the Ninth chapter of Exekiel:— midst “Go through the midst of the cit; the cf Janaaiees andten etark een the terteeade. « tha men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” ‘The spesker cc mmenced his discourse by referring to the command contained in the text, as given to the pro- phet Eligth, who had dsred, through all the wickedness and abominaticns in and about Jerusalem, of that day, to be found faithful among the faithless, and proceeded to review the good works of God’s people, who had heard, recognized and obeyed the voice of God, notwithstanding the severe struggles to which ihey had been subjected by outward influence from the days of the prophet Ezekiel to the present time. The command given to the prophets of Israc] was to set the mark of God upon the righteous, so that the coming of the destroying angel should have no power over such as had received the mark, which ‘was the word of God, into their hearts. This command applied equally well to the workers in Christ’s vineyard oF tbe present day, many of whom were laboring in this city assiduously, from day to day ‘and year to year, placing the mark’ of God on poor falien sinners and’ men and women stamped in abomination. Such were the evils and influences at present in New York that her abomina- tions equalled those af Jerusalem at the time Written of by the prophet, and the plain, simple subject presented to notice was, how were the people of God in this city to work out the salvation of the wicked and abominable in their midst. What bad may come upon a community there wag still a re tof God’s people, who are ever boey in showing forth God’s works—a remnant that is bound together by a pledge that none can sever. They are the salt of the earth, the preservation of man, set apart by the Lord ‘for himself, and made by the Holy Spirit of God new spirits by Christ Jesus. e speaker next proceeded to speak of the overwhelming number of persons of foreign birth in our midst, who were first among the list to be instructed in the doctrines of divine truth, as they were generally the first to be found among the askere of alms and inmates of our public and charita- ble institutions, and asked wherein the remedy lay for their ultimate salvation if not through the tract and city missionaries, whose daily vocations called them into the midst of their habitations, and rendered them familiar with their wants necessities. ‘After dwelling on this subject, Mr. led to remark that it was to the thronging multitude of idle, vicious, uneducated and unthinking people who daily throng the streets of this great city, that he sought to Dring the attention of his hearers; for there were upwards of 400,000 souls in this city at the present time who were utterly shut out ffom the churches and from all other re- ligious associations or counsels, unless through the tract ‘and city missionaries, who were continually going among such and administering the comforts of salvation, as well as in cases of absolute need, the necessaries of life. Thereare, said he, thirty missionaries in this city who yearly minister to the spiritual and temporal wants of over thirty thousand souls. They are now ready to do what they are called on to do; to visit the sick, to raise from sin and starvation the victims of the abominations which you gee around you. But there is another band, the blessed band of over one thousand tract visitors, whose visite to the haunts of the wretched may be called little less than angel’s visits. These distribute annually up- ward of a million tracts, Tt is by this means that the de- graded and ignorantare sought out and induced to come out and give their souls to Christ. In this manner up- wards of 2,000 people were annually induced to attend church, in addition to some 2,000 children who were an- nually gathe into Sabbath schools. is means had ‘also proved to be the means of hopefully converting about two hundred and fifty people each year. The Speaker next proceeded to eulogise the people en- gaged in this good cause, particularly the tract visiters and missionaries, and to urge upon his hearers the ne- cessity of their sustaining the good work, and in conclu- sion referred to two ladies who had annually, for some ears, contributed $600 each annually to the society, and had supported 250 helpless widows. These had both gone to their reward, however, but he hoped there were others who would, as he knew there were those in his church able to, emulate their example. The sermon concluded, a collection was taken up for the benefit of the society during the coming year. Naval Intelligence.
