The dates from Belize are tothe 15th ult. Atthat time the people of Honduras were represented as being perfectly healthy, with the ex- ception of a cough, predisposing the small pox pa- tients of last year to consumption, a disease which was never before known in that part of the world. ‘The cholera was still raging in Guatemala, and it was reported that the average number of deaths ran as high as seventy per day. Another attempt had been made to burn the town of Belize, which this time proved unsuccessful. The incendiaries were the colored residents of Nassau. It will be recollected that Belize has been twice fired, one- half of the town being destroyed each time, but it was immediately rebuilt. A number of the incen- diaries had been arrested and were awaiting sen- tence. It was rumored at Belize that a strong party was raising in Guatemala with the design of overthrowing Carrasa, who has been at the head of affairs there for fifteen years. The crop of co- chineal in Guatemala would be about an average. Disease had broken out among the cattle in Hon- duras, and great numbers were dying. The deer were dying off by hundreds, in view of which a law bad been enacted to prevent the shooting of deer for the present. Skins in Belize, Truxillo and Omoa were very scarce. The American General Committee have isued a call for the Know Nothings to meet together in their respective ward councils, and elect delegates to a County Convention for the nomination of county officers, to a Congressional Convention to choose candidates for Congress, and to an Assem bly Convention to make the nominations for State Legislatare. An interesting letter from Talcahuano is pub. lished in to-day’s paper. It contains a list of the names of all the Americans who have been in- terred in the public cemetery at that place since its opening. Most of them being seamen, this list may contain intelligence of men, the unknown fate of whom has been long mourned. Tables of the Americans engaged in trade at Talcahuano, as well as of the sick in hospital, are also given. The trial of Francis Didieu for arson in the first degree, which was commenced on Friday in the General Sessions, resulted yesterday in the con- viction of the prisoner of the crime of arson in the third degree. He will be sentenced next Saturday. According to the report of the City inspector, there were 518 deaths in the city during the past week, a decrease of 70 as compared with the mor- tality of the week previous. One tata! case of yel- low fever is reported. The deceased, John Mctrade, @ native of Lreiand, aged 48 years, by occupation a waiter, was sick of yellow fe at Charleston, but recovered sufficiently to come to New York by railroad, where be arrived (having « relapse from over exertion) on the 4th inst., and died of exhans- tion at No. 16 First street on the Sth.

The Galway gud New York steamship Pacilic NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER '19, 1858. sailed yesterday afternoon for Galway, with a full cargo and @ full complement of passengers. She was enthusiastically escorted out of the harbor, and her departure was one of great éclat. In another column a report of the scenes attending the depar- ture will be found, ‘The cotton market was without change in quotations yesterday, while the sales amounted to about 400 a 600 bales. Wheat was firmer with « fair amount or sales. Southern white sold at $1 31 a $1 42,and red do. at $1 21. Corn continued: firm, with free sales at 7c. a Tie, for Western mixed, and good Southern white at 88c. Yellow do, was worth 954c, a 96e., and Jersey do. at 96c. Pork was heavy and prices lower. Sales of moss at 8170 $17 36, and prime at $158 $15 25. Flour continued in fair demand, and prices in the main ruled quite steady; there continued to be @ good domestic demand, with some sales for export. Sugars were active and firm with free sales, closing at about Sc. advance on the week's transactions above the current prices at the close of the Provious wook. Coffee was steady with more doing. Freights were steady, and 1,800 bbis. flour wero engaged to Liverpool at 1s. 6d.; colton at 6-32d. Rosin to Loudow At 2s. 3d.; Cheese at 30s., and turpontino at 53. per bbl. The Opening of China—Its Effects Upon the East and the West. The new treaties with China form an appro- priate counterpart to the great events in the Western World in the year 1858, While.on this side we have been annihilating the abyss of ocean, e0.far as regards the transmiasion of -in- telligence, in the Far East, the oldest, the most populous and the most exclusive empire of the world, bas been compelled to open itself to the Progreesive march ef the four living mations of the earth. Although the United States, Russia, England and France have not all joined in the actual war against China, they were all joined in the real war against the Chinese policy, and their representatives and moral weight were brought to bear at Tien-sin against those imperial mexims that have ruled for almost countless centuries. All, therefore, participate in the results, whatever they may be; and though theee should not turn out as effective as is de- sirable, the way is opencd for future separate or collective developement. By the terms of the treaty with oor government—which we pub- lished on Thursday—it will be seen that threo great points are obtained. These are the open- ing of new perts to commerce, the toleration of, Christianity and protection of Chi- mese converts, and the residence at Pekin of our official representative. Whatever may be the shortcomings of the treaty in a ma- terial and moral point of view, this last conces- sion secures their developement and their ulti- mate triumph. The opening wedge ot civiliza- tion, has found an entrance in the Chinese em- pire, and steam and electricity will soon drive it home. ‘The results that will flow from the newly opened communication between two hundred millions of men, to whom the steam engine is a play thing, and whose civilization is marked by a wondrous power of mind over matter, and four hundred millions whose mechanical powers are limited to the carving of soft woods and the fashioning of potter’s clay, will be as vast and all-pervading in their effect as those of any event that history has yet recorded. When we reflect how recently Europe has risen from bar. berism, how slow was her march of progress until mechanical science began to be developed, how this mighty influence within the preeent century, enly yet half expired, has revolution- ized the food, the clothing, the intercourse and the whole life and state of man, we may begin to form some idea of the effeot that is to be pro- duced within the next fifty years, and in a great measure ‘in our own generation, upon four hundred millions of people, quick to learn, prone to imitate, wonder- fully industrious, and starting from starvation point to stimulate their exertions. The steam engine is the greatest lifting power in the world. It is lifting the masses of millions of mankind in Europe from utter want to comparative af- fluence. It has raised their wages, elevated their ideas and aspirations, and lifted the hopes of the people to where the hopes of kings once stood. The steam engine has now broken into the thronged East, and its power there will soon be brought to bear, as it has been brought to bear in Europe. As in the material so in the moral world of the East hase revolution been begun by these treaties. Christianity has secured an entrance there. The worldly maxims of Confucius must give way to the sublime teachings of the Sa- viour. Budda must go the way of the pagan gods of the Pantheon. The theories that have maintained the East stationary for thousands of years must give way to those that, out of the broken elements of the pagan and corrupt Ro- man empire, were able to erect living kingdoms and mould a dying world to progress. The metaphysical ingenuity which characterises the Chinese, and which has hitherto been directed to the sterile study of scholastic ques. tions and the arts of lying, will now be brought to assist in the developement of truth. The Baconian system will supersede “the books” which have commanded the reve- rence of the Chinese mind for years. All this will produce its effeet also upon the material change in China, and help to inaugurate the new era in the East. But it is not in the East alone that these results are to flow. A reciprocal effect will be produced upon us. The sphere of thought and of com- merce will be alike enlarged. As production is stimulated in the East the power of consump- tion will increase. Trade there will begin to obey the laws which it has obeyed here; and with the advantages of production, consump- tioa, and distributive power, it will dourish and increase os it bas done with us, The commerce of the civilized worid hae increased during the last baif century in geometrical proportion to the increase of popul ; and this seeming wouder is due entirely to the increased power of distribution. As the facility of distribution increases in China, by the introduction of the mechanical appliances of civilization, her de- mands upon us will be augmented a thousand fold, and etimulate ur, too, to greater produc- tion than we have ever before dreamed of. There is one other clement in these new treaties in China to which we must refer, bat the altimate effect of which is not yet apparent. The four living nations of the earth hove each been present at this great event, and each has obtained its separate treaty. Forerecing the vast reeults that must flow from the opening of so populous an empire to com- | merce and diplomacy, each has striven to ob- tain some vantage position, and to stipulate for itself @ participation in any privileges con- ceded to other nations. Thus jealousies of the deepest kind have been awakened. The United States are accused of having secured the posi- tion of umpire between China and the other civilized nations in case of future conflicts; Ruesia is said to have obtained a large slice of territory on the Amoor river; France claims to have stipulated for the admission of Christian ty; and Engiand grumbies at all the others, not knowing what che has got, as she has not yet received a copy of her treaty. Whether this | epirit will evenjually resoive itself into a etrife of emulation, or whether it will break out ia wars that may change the face of the civilized world, can only be revealed by time. We msy hate little part in theee wars, but it may be that the corflict between the opposing political systema of Eugland, France and Russia will find ® new field for the fight that was not settled at Sebastopol. In either case, the opening of Chira etands among the greatest and most pro- minent events of the nineteenth century. —_—___. ‘Taw Prsament AND THE Serriuns or Kay- | 8a3.—Some three millions of acres of the public | lands in Kansas, which had been ordered to be eold in November, the President has decreed | shall be held back from public sale till July next, giving for reason, “the financial pressure inthe country and the consequent inability of settlers to prove up and pay for their pre-emp- tions by the time firet appointed.” i This act of kindly consideration in behalf of the bona fide settlers and their preemption’ | claims against the designe of grasping land | epeculatorsthe people of Kansas will readiiy comprehend. itis an act which cannot fati to prove to the Kansas equatter who has located his claims, but bas not been'able to raise the means with which to pay for bis quarter section, that Mr. Buchanan is not at all the remorseless tyrant against squatter rights and squatter | sovereignty which our black republican organs | and oraters have painted him. And if we are not mistaken, the general administration of the | affairs of the L»nd Office under Mr. Buchanan | hae been upon the game principle of protection | to the legitimate equatter against the | speculating Jand sharks fn all the States and Territories where the law could be brought to bear. In this view, we dare say that some very important reforms in the management of the public lands will be made | manifest at the coming session of Congress, both to the advantage of actual acttlers and the treasury. Under the weak, loose and disordered admi- nieiration of poor Pie:ce, a wide margin was | opened to land jobbers and land robbers of all | descriptions. Mr. Buchanan has evidently, among other measures of reformation, been working to close up this breach in reference to the public lands; and upon this subjeot and all | others the people will be content to let the tree be judged by its fruits. Tun Waineixa Praces—Winvine vr oF THE Sxason,—We have lying by us a !arge batch of | watering place correspondence, for which, | owing to the pressure of advert'sementa, we | are unable to find space. Pleasure in this case, as in most others, mus! give p'ace t» business, and our correspondents must console themselves with the reflection that we have given them thus far full latitude for their lucubrations. We feel the less regret at being compelled to close our columns to them, from the fact that the arrivals in town show that the season is virtually at its close. From a fair review of the results stated in these com- munications, it would seem that many in- terests have this year been benefitted at the expense of a few. Experience has shown that it is no longer possible to concentrate and keep any large number of summer tourists in a par- ticular spot. The era of fashionable watering places and of mammoth hotels has gone by, to give place to more rational modes of enjoying | the pleasures of the country. Instead of con- | gregating in two or three over-crowded and in- convenient localities, our summer tourists now spread themselves over every part of the Union. | They are to be found in the quict sea shore nooks, the lake villages and the distant | mountain retreats, which offer the fresh and healthful attractions of which the | overtaxed energies of our hard working | citizens have need. Owing to the peculiar abolition sentiment of the North, the Southern- ers no longer contribute, by their presence and , their money, to the prosperity of fashionable watering places like Saratoga and Newport. These are the places, consequently, which have | suffered most, and which are likely to be per- | manently injured by this revolution in the public | taste. Of the benefits which the will | confer on the public health and morals, it is un- necessary for us to epeak. Those familiar with | our fashionable resorts will readily understand why the temptations to which people are cx- | poeed there are good neither for soul or body: | On the whole, then, although a few monopo- lists may have suffered this season, it may be calculated that the great body of hotel keepers | all over the country have been largely bene- fitted by the scattering tendenty of these new | ideas. The money formerly spent in the ex- | travagances of dress and of the table, has been more profitably expended in the pursuit of health and intellectual improvement; and thus two great ends have been accomplished-—the more equal distribution of our social wealth and the removal of the temptations to vicious habite. | Mr. Exouisn os tar Esonin Brrs.—It ap- pears that the Hon. Mr. Englieh, of Indiana—the father of the English compromise bill on the Koneas question—bas declared himeelf in favor of the admission of Kansas, regardless of the restrictions in the said compromise, which, with the rejection of the Lecompton constita- tion, would refuse ite admission as a State thort of the full federal ratio required for one representative in Congress, Very well. Mr. English thos gives us his in- terpretation of that restriction, which is, that it amounts to nothing. And if Mr. English does not understand “the true in- tent and meaning” of the English bill, we should like to know who does. The result of the late | election in Kansas could leave no doubt in any | rational mind as to the future policy of the de- mocratic party upon this subject. The question is settled against all possible contingencies that Kaneas will be a free State; and the more de cidedly abolition is her tendencies, the longer | che is kept knocking for admission. Mr. Eng- lish evidently understands the necessities of the case’ and the folly of adhering to a Congres. sional restriction which at best is nothing more than waste paper. Nor have we heard of a single Lecompton democrat from the North who entertains a different opinion from that of Mr. English. There will be no difficulty, therefore, in the matter of the admiesion of Kansas with the presentation of her next regularly adopted constitation. She will come in without a strug- gle, and not a fragment will be left of this Kansas nuirance for Northern agitators or South. ern fire-eaters to wrangle over. The administra- tion will be vindicated, and the country is al- ready satisfied, in anticipation of the final and decisive settlement of the question, Tus Orwratio Camparox—Procramms or Stonor Uiiman.—The Littte: Napoleow of the Opera, whose achievements last year gave us 60 much excitement in musical circles, retarned from Europe by the Persia, and set all the sing- era, and ataches and fldnewrs, big and little, in a state of exti commotion. The skill with which he conducted the operations of last year, and redeemed what was supposed to be a Waterloo defeat, has led every one to suppose that he would make still greater exertions at this time, when the effects of the revulsion have nearly passed away. Itis probable that these expectations will be more than realized. During his four months stay in Europe, Mr. Ullman has not been idle, but has engaged an artistic army superior in numbers and force to any that has ever crossed the Atlantic at any one time. First comes the youthful, fascinating, seductive Picco- jomini, whose operatic career has been a series of triumphs, followed by the most enthusiastic ovations, She has aroused the phlegmatic Britons, and set the mercurial population of Dublin ina state of commotion, the ‘account of which reads like a scene from & romance rather than’ a jour- nalistic record of an event of the day. Piccolo mini pleases and delights her audiences, and wins her way.as much by the fascination of her manner and the sympathetic style of her acting as by her vocal attainhents. To all this Mile. Piccolomini adds a princely lineage and a name second to none.in Italy.. Not being bless- ed with the presence of the Queen of England, we must make the most of the Princess Picco- Jomini. Mr. Uliman’s further engagements include the great German prima donna, Johanna Wagner, whose legal troubles with Lumley made so much talk in London four or five years ago. With Formes she will sing in operas especially agree- able to the German public. Mme. Laborde, one of the most brilliant singers that has ever visited | us, returns under Ullman’s auspices, as well as several other artists of the same high order. Several new operas will be given, with splendid appointments, after the style of the Academy at Paris. The entente cordiale between Ullman and Maretzek is perfect, and the former will not com- mence his season before the middle of October, with a fair prospect of continuing it uninterrupt- edly till May, which will give sufficient time to present the operas in a proper way. The expense attendant upon the new en- gagements is fur greater than has ever before been risked by any manager on this side of the Atlantic; and this fact proves that the great metropolis is fast progressing in art as well as in commerce and industrial pursuits. ‘The expense of an operatic performance now is nearly double what it was ten years ago; and during this winter, when Ullman has his forces thoroughly organized, New York will rank asa first class operatic city. It is here only that the opera ever makes any money, and the provin- cial places, such as Boston and Philadelphia, will probably have to whistle for the singers, as they will not pay to hear them. The campaign opening with Piccolomini, will absorb the attention of the people who patron- ize public amusements and give all the fashiona- ble world an opportunity for a grand display. The Broadway bazaars will reap great profits from it, the hotels, and, in fact, every branch of trade will profit by the influx of strangers which every furore, whether operatic, cable-istic or otherwise, brings to the metropolis. So every- body must go in to support the opera and give a rousing reception to Piccolomini, the charming Queen of Song. Tue Exorisn Income Tax.—There are some very interesting facts and suggestions contained in a parliamentary return recently published, showing the number of persons who have paid neome tax in England, Scotland and Wales during the year ending 5th of April, 1857. The rate of tax is, we believe, three and a half per cent; and all persons are liable for it whose an- nual incomes reach fifty pounds ($250) or upwards. Well, it seems that of the entire popu- lation of Great Britain—excluding Ireland—the number of persons who were assessed under the income tax law was only 258,880. Taking the population at twenty: two millions, and assuming an average of five pereons to a family, it would follow that only one head of a family out of every seventeen is liable to the payment of income tax; or, in other words, has an annual income of $250, or five dollars a week. There is no means of getting at similar statistics in this country; but it is evident that a compari- ton of the relative means of the people of Great Britain and the United States would be much in favor of the latter. It is also worthy of notice, in connection with theee figures, that of the whole number of contributors, 120,650-or nearly one-half—are aseessed on incomes of from a hundred toa hundred and fifty pounds ($500 to $750); and that those on the next list—from a hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds—fall to below one- third of that number (40,086), and diminish in regular proportion till they come to in- comes of from nine hundred to » thousand pounds. Between these figures there are only | eight hundred and sixteen contributors, while between one and two thousand pounds there are five thousand four hundred and twenty-three. Of persons whose incomes are a quarter million of dollars and upwards there are forty-six; while some wealthy banking firms, like the Rotbechilds, that cannot readily give an ac- count of their prodigious wealth, compound for the payment of « certain fixed annual sum. ‘The real point of interest, however, in these tables is the fact that half of all the contribu. tore to the English income tax are persons in the middle walk of life, with moderate in- comes of from five hundred to seven hundred and fifty dollars, and that other fact that only one out of seventeen heads of families is in the receipt of over two hundred and fifty dollars a year. Si ame 2 The Russian Frigate General Admiral. As the day approaches for the launch of the Russian frigate General Admiral from the yard of Wm. H. Webb, Feq., foot of Sixth street, Fast river, the applicante for tickets of admission become more and more numerous. An impression exists on the part of many that tickets are required to admit persons into the shipyard on the day of the launch. We are authorized to state that suoh is not the case, tickets being necessary only for admission on board of the ship at the time of launching. The yard will be, ax it has been, open to the public every day unt: the launch. The staging ts taken down from around the ship, and our citizens bo > @ rare opportuni’ to inspect this noble and gigan sel until Tuesday morning next, ‘Det inst., at eight © vck, at which time she will be launched ‘The Yellow Fever Cnse.

Republican Nominations {n Now York. Sreaccvas, Sept. 18, 1858. Charies B. Sedgwick, Fsq., of this city, was nominated this afternoon, aa the republican candidate for Congress for the Twenty-fourth district, in place of Hon. A. P. Granger. Ownco, Sept. 18, 1858. At the Republican Convention held here yesterday Hon. ‘Alfred Wells, of Tompkins, was nominated for Congress for the district composed of Tioga, Chemung, Schuyter and goreageneesiayy Burrato, Sept. 18, 1858. The republicans of the Thirtieth Congressional district, comprising Genesee, Wyoming and Alleghany counties, in convention yesterday at Warsaw, nominated Mr. Augustus: Frank, of Wyoming county, as their candidate for Con- gress. Additional from Utah. Sr. Loum, Sept. 18, 1858, Leavenworth advices of the 15th inst. are received. A namber of officers from Utah arrived there on that day, among them Col. Alexander and Lieutenants Grover and Manadier, of the Tenth infantry, and Capt. Marcy, of the Fifth infantry. The general impression was that further trouble was to be expected from the Mormons; that the difficulties had only been postponed, not settled. A train of twenty wagons leaves here to-morrow for Pike’s Park, and Wm. H. Russell will start a train of forty wagons ina few days. Gentlemen are also here from Leavenworth and Wyandotte outfitting for the companies in those places. Shocking Railroad Accident. Sr. Loom, Sept. 18, 1868. A train on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad met with a serious accident at Platte River bridge, ten miles east of St. Joseph, on the morning of the 13th, by which two laborers were drowned; George Thompson, the engi- noer, and two firemen, badly injured, and two or three passengers slightly hurt. The bridge is supposed to have been fired by an incendiory, and was so much burned be- low that when the locomotive reached it the entire struc- ture { pitativ whole train into the river. Despatches for Europe. Boston, Sept. 18, 1858. Capt. Thacher, of the steamer Propeller, from Boston, to leave St. Johns, N. F., on Tuesday, Sept, 21, for Galway, will take charge of, and deliver promptly on his arrival at Galway, any despatches addressed to his care at St. Johns, previous to her sailing. He expected to make the passage from St. Johns to Galway within seven days. Movements of Cyrus W. Field, dc. Mowreeat, Sept. 18, 1868. Cyrus W. Field, Hon. E. M. Archibald, Baron Boye and party arrived this morning from Kingston, and are at the Donegana Hotel. Mr. Field has quite recovered from his illness. They remain here till Monday. To-day they bave ‘been visiting all the lions of the place, The Ohio State Fair. SanpvsKy, Ohio, Sept. 17, 1858 On this, the fourth and last day of the State fair, the weather was magnificent and the atteudance very large. Atogether the fair has been the most successful ever held in the West, and the display of stock of all classes was better than was ever before exhibited. There were fif- teen lady competitors for the ten prizes given for eques- trianism.

A etabbing affray occurred at the groggery No. 25 Baxter street, on Friday night, between two negroes, named Joseph Nichols and William Darling, in which the latter received a mortal wound at the bands of bie adversary. It appears that ot abont haif-past ton o'clock, while some half dozen negroes were con gregated in the above place, Nichols entered the store, and seating himself on a barrel, called for a segar. Darling was standing at the bar and npon seeing Nichols he asked him what he wanted. To this Nichols replied that jt was none of Darling's bneincae, or something to hat effect.

About half-past nino o'clock last night, smoke was dia- covered issuing from the basement of the six story cabinet, manufactory No. 38 Renwick street, owned aud occupied by Benjamin Newbouse. When first discovered the fire appeared to have got under considerable headway, and although the firemen were quickly at the premises and at work, it epread with great fury and in avery short time enveloped the entire building in flames. The fire spread into the adjoining buildings in the rear of Nos, 4 aud 35 Renwick street, alao occupied by Mr. Newhouse. When our reporter left the ground at twelve o'clock, the three buildings were completely gutted. ‘The rear building, and also the front of No. 40 Renwick street, occupied as a dweiling house, were consid damaged by the wal! of the factory when it fcllin. Tho three story brick dwelling houses, Nos. 36, 34, 32 and 28 Renwick street, occupied by several families in each house, were damaged considerably, and the occupants all turned into the street. It was impossible to gather names of the parties, or any detailed particulars owing to the great excitement, every body being intemt upon saving their property and not willing to answee questions. Mr. Newhouse also occupies the building No. 275 Hudson strect, as a sales department. This building connects with the factory in the rear, and many fears are entertained that tho fire will get into and burn it. The ‘stock of furniture in it has been mostly removed. ‘The buildings Nof 277,279 and 281 Hudson street are oceupied above the first floor, as the “Union Hote!,”’ kept by Wm. W. Bowles, The rear windows on the upper floor were on fire several times, but the flames were soon ex- tinguished by the firemen with pails of water. The board. ers and lodgers of the hotel were in great consternation, and rushed wildly to and fro, some removing their chat- tles and others seeking advice about the danger of their being burned out. Mr. Bowles has no insurance on his furniture. The store No. 277 is occupied by W. C. Walker as the Union Dry Goods store. His stock was all removed. It is. insured for $12,000. The store No. 279 was occupied by Edmund Hill ase carpet store. His stock was removed. Tusured for $8,000. store No. 281 was unoceujned. Upwards of one hundred workmen are turned out of employment, and the majority of them also lose their tools, which will average in value from $30 to $60 each mee Ue to the te our going vo Liv outs fire was st , though remen have evident! it an- der contre. The origia of the fire is uiknown a pr ‘ bat from it being fret discovered in the basemeut in the vieinity of the steam boiler, it is supposed to have been cansed in some way by it. The exempt firemen were on the ground with their en- gine, and got to work on the Renwick street side, They did good execution. The police arrangements were very good in keeping the crowd out of the way of the firemen; on several of the cross strects Captain Turnbull bad direct- ed ropes to be stretched, and thus excluded all those who bad no business inside, Departure of the Pacific for Galway. ENTHUSIASTIC ESCORT TO SANDY HOOK—SCKNES AT LEAVING THY PIER—SPERCHES, TOA! RTC. ‘The North Atlantic Steamship Company's steamship Pacific suiled yesterday afternoon for Galway. She was escorted out of the harbor in the manner and with more ntbusiasm than the Prince Albert, of the same line which sailed hence for Galway a short time ago. At tea o'clock in the morning the steamer W. G. Putnam left the foot of Bridge street, Brooklyn, baying on board the Nappertandy Artillery company, a large number of Irish and American ladies and gentlemen, and a band of music. She was gaily decked with the flags of all the principal commercial nations, and amongst them wae also the Irish flag ina prominent position. On leaving the pier she fired a salate of nine guns, and after touching ata pier and taking on board another artillery company, and another party of ladies and gentlemen, she = Europe. the Pacific expressed his confidence in the sea going quali- ties of his vessel, and assured them that nothing wi ‘wanting on his part to make ber answer all thetr anticipa- one. All these remarks and responses were received vith lond cheers, and some cordial exchanges of iship the W. @. Pu company again embarked. in her. She then steamed out to the middle of the river, and the Pacific got ready to leave her pier. Everything was soon ready, and her wheels began w revolve this was noticed, the vast numbers who crowded all the adjacent piers comme foud cheer, which was re. eeboed from pier to aken ap by the W.

The Pacific then commenced to return the salute, but had only fired some six or seven shots when an unfortunate acci dent occurred to one of the men working the guns, and the firing of the salute was discontinued. The accident was the blowing off of a man's hand, who impradently attempted to reload a gun before it was sponged, after a shot had been fired. The wounded man war sent ashore, when his wound was temporarily dressed, and he was then removed to the hoepital. The Pacific, after this circum- stance, fired no more until she was separating from her escort at Sandy Hook. Th» «mall steamer, however, com- menced to fire, and kept np # continnons roar till she came near Quarantine, Here the Pacific lay to and waited for ber tll she came alongside, when her company again came on board the large steamship, and were again weleomed. At this time the Pacific was thronged, and all on board proceeded to the saloon, where a collation was prepared for them. Every one had an opportunity of partaking heartily of the @ood things before them; and after they: id fo, speeches and toasts formed the programme Of bunitioas. ‘The speeches were shor: and complimentary.
