The apprehensions that haye been entertained for several days past with regard to the burning @teamship passed on the 1th inst. by the ship Rosenheath were confirmed yesterday. The ill- fated vessel was the Austria, bound from Hamburg for New York. She had on board as passen- gers and crew five hundred and thirty-eight persons, only sixty-seven of whom are known to be saved. Twelve of the rescued reached Hali fax on Sunday on board the bark Lotus, to which vessel they were transferred from the French hark Maurice, bound from Newfoundland for Nantes; in France. They are now on their way to this port on the steamer Prince Albert, of the New York and Galway line, the captain of which generously de- tained his vessel in order to bring them here. Among the saved we observe the names of only three cabin passengers; namely, Theodore Eisfeld, the musician, Professor Glaubensklee, and a son of Mr. Vezin, of Philadelphia. Lyon Wolf, supposed to be a clothier doing business in the Bowery, is also among the saved. The names of the other survivors may be found in our despatch, published elsewhere. Messrs. Chartres Brews and Professor Giaubensklee have furnished thrilling narratives of the catastrophe, which are also given. The fire was caused by a culpable act of carelessness on the part of two of the officers of the ship, and the wholesale destruction of human life is in great part attributa- ble undoubtedly to the utter absence of discipline of the crew 1 the panic that prevailed among the passengers. There is a hope that some of the unfortunate passengers were picked up by a Nor- wegian bark that was seen in the vivinity of the burning vessel, but it isa very faint one. The bark Maurice, before she transferred a portion of the resened to the Lotus, bad decided to run for Fayal and land the passengers. Whether she proceeded to Payal or continued on ber voyage to Nantes is not mentioned. The steamship Prince Albert, which left Galway at midnight on the iith instant, was off Halifax last Saturday night, and reached her dock there early on Sunday morning. She was delayed on her pas- sage in consequence of an accident to her screw, which compelled her to use canvass from the 17th instant. The steamship City of Washington, which left Liverpool on the 15th instant, in the forenoon, arrived at this port yesterday afternoon. We have thus received news from Europe four days later than that brought by the Niagara to Halifax. Full details may be found in to-day’s Henacp. The work of shipping the shore ends of the At- tantic telegraph cable was progressing at Ply- mouth, and would be completed about the 18th inst. It was confidently hoped that the temporary interruption of the working of the line would soon be remedied. Mr. Saward, in behalf of the directors of the com- pany, denies the statements with regard to ill treat- ment, Ac., made by Mr. Whitehouse in his letter recently published Jentia arrived at Halifax in the Prince Albert, far- nished with instruments to more effectually test the cable. He will proceed with all possible despatch to Trinity Bay. He reports that down to the 12th inst. electrical currents were received through the cable at Valentia, but that no words had been com- municated. The races over the Fashion course yesterday were attended by an unusually large assomblage of fashionable people, as well'as patrons of the turf ‘The sweepetakes for three year olds, mile heats, was won by Goldleaf. Timo—1:55—1 50). The four mile race was won by Nicholas. Tim 7:60§:—7 :36—7:50 The Coroner's inquest in the case of Mra. Sophia Btephens, supposed to have been poisoned by her husband, was continued yesterday before Coroner Connery at Bellevue Hospital. A number of wit- nesses were examined and much evidence was elicited going to strengthen the suspicions against the accused. The chemists have not made a report of their labors yet. The investigation before Justice Weleh was to have been resumed yesterday afternoon, but the Justice came to the very sen- ible conclusion that it was something very like folly and absurdity for him and the Coroner to be engaged in separate independent examinations of the same case, and so he resolved to adjourn his share in the proceedings until the Coroner had got through his. In fact, neither should have been entered on until the analysis of the stomach of the deceased had been completed, as there was ® pomibility of euch analysis showing that no crime bad been committed in the premises. Dr Doremus will be ready to report to-day The jury in the case of Morris Tu who was fied in a fight in First «venue, near Tenth street oo Sunday morning, rendered yesterday a verdic that the deceased came to bis death by a blow and fall 91 the hands of John Kehoe, deces.ed being on der the influence of fiqaor at the time of the occar. rence.

The republicahs of this city held a meeting at the Cooper Institute last evening to ratify the State gominations of the party. There were some two or three thousand persons present. Speeches were made by Judge Edmonds (the Chairman), Horace Giceley, Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, Senator Diven, of the New York Legislature, Mr. Briggs, of Ohio, and others. Resolutions were adopted favoring fusion with the Americans, and endorsing the course of Horace F. Clark and John B. Has- kin in Congress. An enthusiastic mass meeting of the democracy in favor of Gen. Hiram Walbridge's election to Con- gress was held at the Bowling Green last evening. Speeches were made by Gov. Price, of New Jersey, Gen. Walbridge and others. The participators in the demonstration numbered several thousands. At the conclusion of the of the meeting @ procession was formed, which paraded through the principal streets of the lower section of the city, to the sound of martial music. It was a bril liant and successful affair throughout. The case of John Wilday against Dr. Peter Pratt, an action tried in the Supreme Court circuit yesterday, before Judge E. Darwin Smith, for malpractice on the part of Doctor P. in the ampn- tation of plaintiff's finger, resulted in favor of the defendant. The Judge was fully satisfied that there was no foundation for the suit, and that there was nothing disclosed to show the slightest malpractice on the part of Doctor Pratt. The Sixth regiment, or Governor's Guard, nam- berg three hundred and sixteen men, all told, proceeded to Staten Island yesterday to relieve the Eighth regiment. On their arrival at Camp Washington, the Eighth regiment was drawn up in line on the southern portion of the camp ground, and received the Sixth regiment with tho usual military courtesies, and, the compliment being returned, the Eighth regiment left the ground and proceeded to the Clifton landing, where they em- barked on board of a steamboat at four o'clock for the city. The Brooklyn Common Council adopted a reso. lution last night, by a vote of twelve to six, in ef- fect defeating the plan of substituting a closed conduit for an open canal on the line of the water works from Baisley’s Pond to the Parsonage. This action will not retard the progress of the work, though its propriety is a question upon which there is great diversity of opinion. The Commissioners of Health met at the usual time yesterday. His houor the Mayor was absent, being prostrated by an attack of neuralgia. The business transacted had reference entirely to the discharge of vessels from quarantine. The A. P. Howe, from Havana, will come up in ten days; the Liberty, from New Orleans, received permis- sion to discharge her cargo of rope cuttings at Sau- gerties, on permission of the Health Officer; anda few vessels received permission to proceed to the city within a few days. As there was not a quorum of Councilmen pre- sent yesterday, the President adjourned the Board till this (Tuesday) afternoon. ‘The cotton market continued to rule quite firm yester- day, while the sales reached about 3,000 bales, about 2,008 of which were sold in transitu. The market closed firm at 133g cente for middling uplands. The result of the growing crop is involved im some uncertainty, and is a question of late or carly frost and freedom from storms of rain and wind. Until @ killing frost has ocurred, specu- lations regarding the yield of the crop must be regarded with distrost. To have an average yield, will raquire general open weather and late frost. Flour was less buoyant aud the inferior grades were easier, while sales were moderate. Wheat was active and prime milling lots were firm. The sales embraced about 60,000 bushels, at rates given in another column. Corn was lower, but active. Sales, as usual, wore chiefly confined to Western mixed at 70e. a T4e. Pork was heavy, with sales of mees at $16 85 and prime at $14 85 a $15—tho lat- ter figure for parcels in staal lot. Sugars were dull, and sales confined to 300 a 400 hhds., at mates given in another place. Coffee was frm and ve, with sales of about ,000 bage Ric at private terms, and 13,000 do, Babia, with ome Java and Marecaiba, at rates given elsewhere. Freight engagements were moderate, while rates were without change of moment. Our Corporation Elections and Public Plun- der—Movements of Parties. While the managers of the republican and American parties throughout the State are work- ng in every direction to effect a practical coali- tion of their forces, it has become manifest that in this city the movements to this end are of a very active and promising character. We have thus every reaeon to anticipate a practical fusion of the republicans and Americans of the city to a considerable extent in the November and to a much greater extent in the December election, which will involve the enormous mass of spoils and plunder absorbed by our expensive and tho- roughly rotten city government. The democracy, in view of these formidable movements of the opposition to supplant them, are beginning to comprehend their danger; and they, too, are in motion, here and there, to effect a union of the several factions and cliques into which they have been cut from their ferocious squabbles over the spoils. We have thus the prospect before us of an old-fashioned litan fight between the united forces of the demo- cratic camp and the combined elements of the opposition. But we have thus still another prospect before us with the success of either party, and that prospect is the prospect of a con- tinuation of the existing extravagances, em- bezzlements and corruptions of all kinds which bave «welled the expenses of our miserable cor- poration government to the heavy figure of some ten millions a year, ‘This is the entertainment to which we will be invited with the success of the democracy or the opposition. On either side the game is for the spoils and plunder, and their old corrupt cliques and gangs of epoilemen, jobbers and spoils dependents, with the success of either party, will rule the roast. Our choice, as the matter stands, will be achoice between two hungry swarms of fii with the one or the other, we shall be bled as now, and as heretofore for many years, without remorse. ‘The taxpayers of this metropolis, therefore, if they would inaugurate a practical system of re- form in our city government, must take the mat- ter in their own bande, regardless of existing perty aflinities or divisions, It is their policy and their duty to themselves, to their pockets, it, to law and order, to cut old and utterly corrupted parties lenmen without further delay, The to good goveri loose fr of me ithe remedy is within the reach of our taxpaying people, and they will themselves be responsible for the consequences should they fail to apply it. An independent municipal tax payers’ ticket from stem to stern, se- lected without reference to democratic or republican, or Know Nothing principles, but simply in reference to retrenchment and reform— a ticket carefully composed of competent, re- epectable and responsible men, would inangurate a reform which, if steadily followed up, would in two years clear away the ravenous hordes of perty epoilemen, vagrante and loafers that infest the purlicas of the City Mall, and reduce our city expenaes come two or three millions a year. There are ome thirty thousand taxpayers within the limits of the corporation—owners of real ond pervonal estate, responsible men—form- ing, io the aggregate, a power which would be irre e contest between the old rotten ile it prehend their policy and their resources—giad to believe that they are earnestly beginning to consider the necessity of action, and the folly of idle grumbling. Your idle and unresisting gtumbler, with the power and means of redress in his hands, deserves to be fleeced, as he inva- riably is fleeced, by friends and enemies. But our taxpayers have long enough filled this igno- ble position of unresistance to swindlers and rogues, and what we now want is 4 thoroughly organized taxpayers’ party and taxpayers’ ticket, especially for our December election. A contribution of five dollars each from thirty thousand taxpayers would amount to an election fund of $150,000, which would supply all the necessary machinery, clubs and committees required for an active campaign against the old, demoralized spoils parties in the field. We therefore tall again upon our taxpayers to organize themselves into a party, in view of the great object of a reduction of our corporation corruptions, and a reduction of our heavy and increasing taxations, through the agency of a body of respectable, responsible and honest men in the administration of our municipal affairs. This is the only remedy, and the opportunity is most inviting for its application. Let the tax- payers take the field as an independent party, and they will soon effect a revolution. Ovr Crry Post Orrice—MovemMents of THE Postmaster Generat.—The Postmaster General, we understand, was industriously engaged yester- day, canvassing about the city in reference to a new location for our city Post Office. From all that we can learn of his views upon the subject, he will, if possible, make a selection at some convenient point between Chambers and Canal streets, and he will prefer a building ready for use to any site which will involve the reconstruction, from top to bottom, of an old building, or the erection of anew one, In this view, we fear that the old Broadway theatre will hardly be deemed the article that is wanted. It would require a twelvemonth to reconstruct it, and the job would undoubtedly be an expensive one. A fair price for a building which may be immediately appropriated for the relief of the Post Office community, and a locality at or near the centre of our Post Office business, are the objecis in view; and as Gov. Brown is a man of business, who has given some particular atten- tion to this subject, we have no doubt that when he makes his selection it will give géneral satis- faction to the community. We had boped that, acting in concert, our federal and corporate authorities might be brought to agree upon a plan of operations which would convert that central sink of filth, pestilence and crime, the Five Points, into the most beautiful feature of our city. Our idea was the purchase of the property of that lo- cality a fourth of a mile square, more or less, by the city, for the purpose of a public park, corporation buildings, Post Office, United States Courts, &c. This may yet be done at some early day, for a reform like thls would favorably com- pare with any of the splendid improvements which Louis Napoleon has made in the city of Paris. For present purposes, with regard to the city Post Office, we have every confidence in the business tact and sound discretion of the Poetmaster General. Inpictment or Corporation OrrictaLs BY THE Granp Juny.—We understand that the late Grand Jury have found bills of indictment against some of the collectors of assessments, on charges arising out of the defulcations recently brought to light in that department. This is one of the results—and a practical one—of Mr. Franklin’s labors in the Joint Committee of Ac-, counts, and is only the beginning of the good work yet tocome. The Grand Jury which is to | be sworn ia next month will probably have two or three more of these cases before them. Crimi- nal indictments are the only efficient weapons with which to make dishonest officials disgorge their ill-gotten gains, and deter others from dip- ping too deep into the public treasury. Ay Opera Wan.—The rival impresarii, Maret- zek and Strakosch, are getting up a fierce oppo- sition; announce extra nights at low prices, as well as matings, and so on without number. Which will win, or whether either will gain, is not quite clear. The public, however, gets the opera ai cheap rates, and will probably make the most of it. Tucntow Weep has not yet solved that bi- ographical mystery as to whether the Morgan | whom he is now running for Governor is the Morgan of anti-Masonic times. Let us hear all about it. Accident to the Steamship Florida. This ship left New York on Tuesday, 21st inst. for Savan mab. On Wednesday afternoon, when about forty miles north of Hatteras, met with an accident to her machinery, which disabled her. On Thurelay morning fell in with the brig Mary E. Milliken, from Philadelphia for Cardenas, to which vessel a Part of the passengers were transferred in the steamer's boats, with the understanding that they were to be landed at Tybee next day. While returning under canvass, was met by the steamer Angusta, hence for Savannab, who took her im tow, and arrived here late on Sunday night. The Auguste left yesterday afternoon with the Florida’s passengers. ‘The Fteamship Star of the South arrived here yesterday with the passengers that bad goue on board the brig Mary E Milliken. The steamer Augusta left in the afternoon with all the Florida's passengers, including those brought by the Star of the South. Personal Intelligence, GEN. Soort is rapidly recovering from tho effects of his recent fall. He bas been able to sit up some days past, and is expected in town to-day.
