We have three days later news from Europe, brought by the steamship Arabia, which left Liver- pool on the 18th instant, and arrived at her dock at Jersey ¢ esterday evening. The Liverpool cotton market was unusually active, at an advance on the week for all qualities of one-eighth of a penny. Manchester adyices were favorable. Breadstuffs in Liverpool had a de- clining tendency, and quotations were nominal. Provisions were lower. Consols closed in London on the 17th instant at oth for money, and at 97} a 97} for the ac- count. Money continued abundant at 2} a 3 per cent. The weekly returns of the Bank of England exhibit an increase of £609,450 in coin and bullion. The steamship Hammonia exploded her maga- zine soon after leaving Hamburg on the 15th inst. for New York, and put back with five passengers injured. She was expected to leave again on the 19th inst. The shares of the Atlantic Telegraph Company had again declined, owing to the fear of a serious defect in the cable. An interesting synopsis of the new British treaty with China is published in our paper to-day. The steamship'Trince Albert, from Galway via Halifax, arrived at this port yesterday. She bronght ten of the rescued passengers of the burnt steamship Austria. Several of these passengers have furnished statements of the catastrophe, which may be found in another column. The steamship Cahawba arrived at New Orleans from Havana on the 23d, with advices dated on the 20th inst.

Freight engagements were light, and rates without change of moment. The Administration and the Disorganizers of the Democratic Party. The disorganizing organs, cliques and lead- ers of the democratic party cannot com- prehend the course of the New Yonx Hu- raup in denouncing their schemes and move- ments, while it cordially supports the con- servative administration of Mr. Buchanan. A few facts, therefore, may, perhaps, enlighten these disappointed leaders and cliques upon this subject. The present administration is in the most sin- gular position, in reference to the party which elected it, of any in the history of the country. Poor Pierce was carried into power by an over- whelming electoral and popular vote; and yet, from his weakness and vascillating course, and from the conflicting intrigues among the mem- bers of his Cabinet and the party leaders iu Congress, this great majority, in less than a year was frittered away, and within two years the democracy were reduced in the country to an apparently hopeless minority. This was the state of things in 1856, when, as their only hope of salvation, the caucus jugglers of the party ai Cincinnati seconded the popular voice of the party and nominated Mr. Buchanan. So great, however, was the load of poor Pierce’s follies and blunders ihat Mr. Buchanan narrowly es- caped sinking with it. But he was elected. And what then? The same conflicting cliques and in- triguing leaders that had broken dowa poor Pierce forthwith set to work to rule or rain the new administration—Douglas and his faction in the North and West, and the whole company of the fire-eaters in the South. The tactics of these disaffected factions were broadly developed at the late session of Con- gress; but the administration, upon Kansas, Utah, the army question, the filibustering ques- tion and other issues, was more than a match for them all. But notwithstanding all this, these in- sidious enemies of the administration are still burrowing to undermine it, and to destroy its in- fluence and authority as the head of the party. Accordingly, while in Minois we find them open- ly fraternizing with Douglas against the admi- nistration, because there they believe Douglas to be stronger than the anti-Douglas wing of the party, we find the sympathizers with Douglas in other States apparently supporting the admiuis- tration, when they are really in the common league to break it down. ‘Thus the fire-eaters of the South find their ex- cuse for supporting Douglas in the Dred Seott dccision and other abstractions; the Douglas fac- tion in Pennsylvania are preaching the binding obligations of that mass of rubbish, the Cincin- nati platform, while their brethren in New York, evading all these nice distinctions, express a de- gree of respect and good faith towards the administration which they do not feel. We have thus no faith in this Douglas faction, in any quarter. In this State and in other States they affect a patriotic love and ad- miration of Mr. Buchanan, because any other course would at once destroy them; but these professions of faith are not to be relied upon. The real friends of the administration have yet the task before them of reducing these in- triguing Douglas politicians, North and South, to a full surrender. Perbape at the approaching session of Congress. as at the lost. the administration may be com- pelled, again and again, to rely upon the patriotic men of the opposition camps against these treacherous leaders of the Douglas and Toombs factions for the success of its leading measures. At all events, it will be time enough to dismiss our doubts and present convictions concerning these democratic disorganizers when they shall have given us some more substantial | evidences of good faith than any they have yet accorded. In the meantime, while the masses of the democracy are rallying in every quarter to | the support of the administration os their only hope for the future, we have no doubt of the complete triumph of Mr. Buchanan, in the end, over all the party futrigues and intriguers ogwinst him, bere and elsewhere. Tur Sane or ram Cawats, In our present State campaign the real object of Weed and Morgan appears to be an enormous speculation | of two or three millions from the sale of the State canals for the benctit of the Central Railroad monopoly. Singularly enough, too, Dean Rich- mond and Corning, among the prime movers of the Syracuse demoeratic convention, appear to be equally interested in the same great enterprise, | The Central Railroad jobbere-may thas think they are perfectly eecure with two strings to their how, and yet they may signally fail to ac- complish their schemes. Ja this view the body of the people will discover that between Mor- gan, the Central Railroad candidate for Go- vernor, and Jadge Parker, who is not tied up in that monopoly, the eafety of the canals against these railrood jobbers of both parties may very ' materially depend upon the eleetion of Parker. Sexavar Wison ov “Goon Sever.” —The Senator from Massachusetts undertook, at the re- publican meeting on Monday, to read the Herano a lecture upon what he calls “good sense.” The Senator «neers at our theory, that the party to which be belongs had no more work to do; and says thet we should have had too much good sense to say snch a thing. Now, we should like to ask Mr. Wilson in « friendly way, what on earth his party hes to do! What political issue «there before the people?

As to the internal improvement question there can be no quarrel, becouse we bave no funds to appropriate for any such purpose; we are all agreed upon the policy of the President, as far as foreign affairs are con- cerned; and the only open question seems to be ihe acquisition of Cuba, which it is generally be- lieved ie only a matter of time.

The opposition to the administration of Mr. Buchanan, which has developed itself on the part of several of the partisan leaders among the de- mocracy, is nothing more than what every ad- ministration has had to contend with, from the organization of the government. Thereis nothing unusual in it. It is the war of the succession. Every President since the time of Washington has experienced it, when it began im his Cabinet, with the quarrel between Jefferson and Adams. Whig and democrat have experienced it alike. Tt has its established laws, and the result can be predicted with the certainty of a mathemiAtical problem. If the seceders succeed fn breaking down the administration, they break down their party with it, and give the succession over to the enemy. If they do not break down the ad-. ministration they break themselves down for all future time. Therefore, which ever way the present intestine fight among the democracy may turn, the ultimate result of certain defeat awaits the Douglas, Wise. &c. clique. We need not go back beyond the knowledge of the present generation to prove this iacontesti- bly and to the satisfaction of every man. The quarrel between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Van Ba- ren for the succession to Gen. Jackson, led to the throwing of the influence of the administration into the scale of the latter, and culminated in his triumph. Although Mr. Calhoun refttsed to leave the party, his position in it, notwithstand- ing his great talents, was always a subordinate and sectional one. During Mr. Van Buren’s reign the war of the succession raged so furiously among the sections that it gave the victory to their enemies, and Harrison came in. His death brought Tyler into power, and then came the split between the administration and Mr. Clay. ‘The latter proved the stronger of the two; but in lweaking down the administration he broke down his own party, just as the discordant democrats hed doe four years before, and this brought in Mr. Polk, although at the time of his nomination his name was received with great derision. Mr. Polk's cabinet was filled with Presidential aspirants, and when Gen. Cass was nominated, the Van Buren men seceded, and broke down him and the party together. They hoped to re- build the democratic influence upon the Buffulo platform, and that platform and its supporters have alike disappeared. This brought in Gen. Taylor, whose death installed Mr. Fillmore and the whigs. But Seward split off on the question of the succession, and the result was that he broke down the administration; both lost the nomination, and the party was completely de- stroyed. This split elected General Pierce. Like Polk, he too bad a cabinet full of would-be Presidents, and the squabbles of the democracy would have brought Colonel Fremont into power had they not had an available man in Mr. Bu- chanan. He had been sent to London to keep | him out of the way of Marcy and others; and the result was that they kept him out of their dirty quarrels and thus made him President. But had not Mr. Buchanan been sent out of the country during the fight for the succession, he could not have been nominated at Cincinnati, and no other man could have carried Pennsylvania against Fremout. This won the battle. Thus we see clearly before us the ultimate result of the attenspt of Douglas, Wise and Com- pany to break down the administration. Success insures defeat. The minor politicians, who always await the result of any such battle, in order that they may join the victor, and make sure their ultimate participation in the spoils, | can at once make up their minds to go over to | the opposition, if Mr. Buchanan's administration | is broken down by the war of the succession. Mr. Buchanan bas had no part in eliciting this war. He is not a cadidate for another term. Not only is he pledged not to ran—a pledge | which he will abide by—but both wisdom and policy council him not to seck a re-nomination. His administration bas been not only a sound | one, but it has redeemed the country from the | follies of its predecessor, and he will retire from his post with honor; while, should he go into the war of the succession, the disappointed am- bition of seceding leaders would strive to com- pass his defeat. In the strife that is now going | ou among the democratic aspirants, it is, however, proper and just the President should lend his countenance to those who give him an unwaver- ing support, and whose fidelity to the admistra- tion entitles them to the confidence of bimself and of the party. ‘These intestine divisions among the de- mocrats should teach the opposition how to win. If they will throw off their quar- relling aspirants for the leadership, and bring forward a national man like “General Seottas their candidate, their triamph in 1960 will be assured. His antecedents as a hero, an old whig, an opponent to all sectionaliam, a lover of his country, and his whole country. make him the man of all others to gather all their forces together and lead them to victory. Tiis name will awaken an enthusiasm in all the Union such as none other can. It will inspire hope and confidence everywhere; for what the country wants now, in the absence of all great issues between parties, is some man whose known motive is the good of the whole Union. Such « man is General Scott, and he has a record of fifty years to prove it; a record which he will not defee, when in power, to serve the selfich views | of sectional politicians. If, like the democrats, the opposition go off in petty squads under the lead of Seward, Crittenden, Banks and fifty others, they may make up their minds eagh to lic quietly in the narrow bed he prepares for himself, Scott or anuibilation is their only choice. dever Epwoxps in a New Bestwese.—Iiv- Judge Edmonds has, it appears, temporarily re- | tired from the management of the spirit world. and has been cramming himself with niggeriem. His speech at the republican meeting on Monday was fortified with some curious statistics, whieh we quote from the Tribwne:— When our government was first inangarated our ex. | penees were but Gfty cents toe man of our population nd then we had but six hundred slaves: now we have 500,000, and our expenses are four dollars tw every man. woman and child. Tt will astonish all the old ladies in the coua- try to know from such excellent «piritunl au- thority as Judge Edmonds that we have three hundred million five bundred thousand slaves. Why they coujf cat us all if they should and- denly have a revelation to that effect. The Judge was further exercised upon the subject of the inerense of slave States, forgetting that ia ante-revolutionary days every colony had more or less slaves, and that the free States have al- woys had the load ia population, as they have now in numerical supremacy. The fagt is that the blacks, in spite of freak importation, do not increase in the same as’ the whites. We fear that statistics on all sorta of wool, free or slave, will be the death of the Tribune, and that Judge Edmonds’ acquaintance with the other world has unfitted him for the political af- fairs of this mundane sphere. If he comes from the clouds to no better purpose than is expressed in his speech of Monday, he might better have remained as he was. More Kansas Humpva.—aAt the Republican County Convention on Tuesday, Mr. Charles A. Dana, a Fourierite philosopher, seems to have been one of the principal engineers to arrange a plan by which the opposition to the administra- tion might be consolidated upon one ticket. He talked a good deal of nonsense about “federal dictation,” “slavery extension,” “Lecompton- ism,” “government profligacy,” ‘republican principles,” and so on. Now, we would really like to know what all this trash has to do with the affairs of this county of New York. Here “we are, suffering under a load of taxation amounting to ten millions per annum, misrale reigning in every department.of the municipal government, the Corporation plundered on every hand, and everything in disorder—and a man talks about the affuirs of a few hundred niggers west of the Mississippi. Why not attend to the suffering whites in the city of New York? The election of « Comptroller or a County Clerk has no more to do with Lecompton than with the political affairs of Timbuctoo. We are not at all surprised at the stupidity of Dana, who set up a Fourierite phalanx near Boston and broke down with it, although he assumed the humble position of a waiter, He waited then upon Fou- rierite philosophers; afterwards waited upon Providence, and now he is waiting upon politics. All such fellows should be set aside, and the peo- ple should unite to purify the municipal govern- ment and argest the stream of corruption which is fed by the dollars wrnng from honest la- bor by official swindlers. That is the real issue; and if we nad had less of Kansas and niggers, our tax bills would not have been doubled in less thag five years, The politicians throw Lecomp- ton dust in our eyes, so they may rob us at their leisure. How long shall it continue? Arrival or THE Rescvep Passkncens ov rae Avsrria.—The Prince Albert arrived yesterday at this port from Halifax, with ten of the pas- sengers of the Austria, We give the statements of some of these in another part of this morn- ing’s Heranp; but the account which was fur- nished by Mr. Brew to the agent of the Associ- ated Press at Halifax, and which has already been published, embraces the principal features of the disaster, and nearly all the particulars. In what we present, therefore, we have avoided repetition as much as possible, and repeated facts only where they were necessary to preserve the order of the,narrative. The fifty-live passengers who were on the French bark Maurice will not be heard from for some wecks, as that vessel, be- ing short of provisions, sailed direct for Fayal, which it was expected she would reach about the 18th or 19th inst. Tue Cash or Youne Ropaxrs, rae Merpegen —Tue Law to Be Vixvrcarep.—It will be seen, by a telegraphic despatch from Albany, publish- ed elsewhere, thut the Court of Appeals has overruled the decision of the Supreme Court in allowing a writ of error in the case of James Rodgers, convicted of the wanton and unpro- vaBed murder of Mr. Swanson, and that, conse- quently, the law is to be vindicated in his case, and he is to expiate his crime on the scaffold. It will be recollected that his trial and convic- ‘ tion took place before Judge Russell in the Court of Sessions, and that on some legal tech- | nicalities a writ of error was allowed by the Su- | preme Court. But this decision of the Court of Appeals is a virtual reversal of that of the Su- | preme Court, and a triumphant vindication of the judicial course of Judge Russell in the premises. We believe it will be necessary to go through the form of having sentence pronounced anew upon the prisoner, as was done some time since in the case of Clark, the sailor. Besides this endorsement of our ablest criminal Judge, the action of the Court of Appeals will have a good effect upon the lawless ruffians who infest our streets and render life and property insecure. It will teach them that, no matter what delays lawyers may interpose between them and their punishment, that punishment cannot be evaded, but will finally overtake them. When this is learned and realized mach will have been done towards the restoration of good order and safety in our streets. In that view of the case the judgment of the Court of Appeals must meet the bearty approval of all good citizeus. THE LATEST NEWS.

She sailed from Galway on the 1dth instant, at night, and arrived at Halifax last Sunday morning There nothing more to report of her voyage than was sent om from Halifax. She has not seen nor spoken any vessela since leaving Halifax. A subscription was entored into by the passengers for the relief of the Austria's passengers, amounting to £31 38. 6d. ‘The following are the names of the persons from the Hamburg steame?

Thompson, California. + - The sudden confusion into which the passengers of the Aastria were thrown at the first cry of fire, and the ta- multuous rush to the boats from every part of the vessel, bringing every class of passengers together, almost, if not entirely strangers to cach other, has prevented in the nar- ratives given much being learned beyond the catastrophe ina general way. A few names only haye been remom- ered by the rescued, which is greatly regretted, as many relatives and friends would doubtless have derived some satisfaction, though melancholy enough, from learning with what composure those they now mourn met their unlooked for and heart rending fate. From the rescued who arrived yesterday forenoon in the Galway steamer, Prince Albert, we bad personal narratives which have much painful interest. The youngest of this number gives us the following:— STATEMENT OF MR. ROSEN. My name is Charles F. V. Rosen. Tam a native of Vir- ginia. My mother and my two sisters at present reside im Richmond of that State, where our family has resided for the last thirteen or fourteen years. My father, whom I have Jost by this dreadful catastrophe, was a professor of music in Richmond and was well known there. My father and I left New York on the 10th of June, for Bremen, by the Ariel of the Vanderbilt line. My father was a native of Sweden, and our visit to Europ. was to his parents. Hav- ing resolved to return about the commencement of Sep- tember, our passages were taken in the Austria. Nothing occurred of importance from the time of our leaving till the vessel was on fire. When the Sames were first seem my father and I were together on deck. We kept together and ran to the boat on the port bow, the only boat that was clear of the fire that we could see, because of the sudden dense smoke that soon covered the ship. This boat ‘was soon filled, as the rush was general to the port side of the rhip. The boat was then suspended to the davits, when it was found impossible to lower her with the load of passea- gers that had crowded into her. The first mate came to the boat and ordered every person to leap on to the deck, to enable bim to lower the boat; but few of the passengers in this position in the water. My father never got into the boot after it first filled and we were all swept ont. Five or ix oars belonging to the boat had been lashed together. so that on his first coming to the surface be canght bold of them. He would ua- doubtedly have reached the boat, but five or six persons took hold of the oars, which prevented them from moving ” only as the water drifted them. Our boat wasin the same unmanageable position, we could only keep still and be drifted by the water. Once they were so near oa the oars that I got bold of their ends, and with the assistance of ® gentleman tried to pull them to us, but their weight and wet clothes rendered it beyond our strength. During fear ours they drifted alongside of ue. At last I was told thas my father had got hold of the stern of the boat; I could hot get to him; it war impossible to move, and at last, being exhausted, after hanging on only a few minutes, he it Thever saw him more, From the movement of some in the boat it was cap- sized four times. With the exception of two ladies and one child, the pareengers of this boat wore all men, The first time that the bowt was capsized, the lady lost her child; the second time she war nigh lost herself, and after the third time she died in the boat from exhaustion, while she lay in her basband's arme. 1 helped ber hus- bond, with another man, conign her to the deep, as I was clone by. It wasa trying time for everybody; but the husband, whe was a German, was very much aliieted by the lees of bis wile and child, Daring three times i whieh the boat was capsleed several persons wore lost, and once or twice [ was apprehensive that I would give aleo As the sun wont down, about half-pagt seven ofclock, we took leave of it, fearful that it might bo the last time we should see it, About this time the mate stood up te the bout and avked ue, in Englieh and in German, if we wanted to be saved, and if eo, we shoald have t carry ont his instructions. Fle told us that we should all have to gotout of the boat. and hang on to the bulwark and the oars thee they would place across the boat till she got above the surface, and they would bail her ont, ‘This was timmedi- ately complied with by the passenger’, aed we wont all over into the water, except one woman and the (WO mon who bailed out, At thie time a man Was seen in the water, with a large tin Tife boy. Me was hailed, and added to the number of those who were clinging to the bowt, while his baoy wae Cut In two by the mate and agod to bail out the water, The boat cleared of water, the passengers were told to cater again, taking with them as litte water as possible. The lashed ears wore detached, aim! with them we rowed to the Froneh bark Maarioe ag aoon aa we discovered her near, on which we were takem about eight o'clock STATEMENT OF SVEN PETBRSON.
