New York, Thursday, October 21, 1558. ‘The News. Intense excitement prevailed throughout the city yesterday afternoon and last evening with regard to the prize fight between Morrissey and Heenan, but at two o'clock this morning no intelligence of the issue of the combat had reached us. The com- batants and their friends left Buffalo for the battle ground on Tuesday night. The party was so nu- merous that it required three large sized steamers to carry them. The principals were in high spirits, and the betting ranged 100 to 80 in favor of Morrissey. The steamship Europa has arrived at Halifax with dates from Liverpool to the 9th instant. The news, of which we give a synopsis in another co- lumn, is three days later, but is not of an important character. In London consols were quoted at 98{ @ 98} for money and account. In the Liverpool markets cotton and breadstuffs were dull. The screw steamships Saxonia and Edinburgh, from Southampton and Glasgow on the 4th and 6th insta. respectively, arrived at this port yesterday morning. Our telegraphic despatches by the Anglo- Saxon and Ariel anticipated the news to that date, and we have three days later advices by the Europa at Halifax. The news of the loss of the Austria reached Southampton on the 3d inst. Lists of the passen- gers who embarked at Southampton and of those who went over there from Havre, for passage, are given in to-day’s paper. Our Manila advices are to the 2d of August. Sugar fully maintained its previous value. Ex- cbavge on England 4s. for six months’ sight bills. We have news from the Cape of Good Hope dated on the 2ist of August. The markets conti nued unchanged, and great dulness prevailed. A missionary party, co! ing of Mr. Moffatt and wife, Mr. Moffatt, jr., and wife, and the wife of Dr. Living- stone, were to leave shortly for the interior. The missionaries for the Makololos and Matabelos would not accompany them, but leave a month af teewards. Colonel Von Haken, of the British Le gion, a Waterloo hero, who fought under Blucher. died in Caffraria. The steamship Tamar arrived at Southampton, England, on the 3d of October, with news from South America dated Buenos Ayres the 27th and Montevideo the 30th of August; Rio Janiero the &th, Behia 12th and Pernambuco Mth of September. The Tamar had on freight from the above ports apecie and diamonds valued at $297,740. A Rio lettor of 7th ult. says:—The supplies of coffee since have been more regular and of better quality. Prices took a downward tendency, and receded gradually ap to the 27th ult. from 100 to 200 reis, the salee during this period amounting to 85,000 bags, of which 35,000 were for the United States. On the 27th ult. the National Bank decided to pay their notes in gold; and on the following day de- clared that they would draw at 27j in order to pre- veut the exportof gold. Freights remain dull at 40 to 50 cents for the United States. Sugar was in good demand, at an advance, in Bahia. At Per- nambuco the sugar market was fiat, with but little for eale. Hides advancing, and holders unwilling to sell, in expectation of better accounts. There were purchasers at 218 to 220. Preights unchanged. The Buenos Ayres Packet says: —Three conventions were signed at Parana on the 21st of August, by the Ministers of England, France and Sardinia on the one hand, and the national government of the confederation on the other, for the settlement of claims for losses and confiscations in civil wars in the provinces. The total amount which the na- tional government has engaged to pay is about 5,000,000 silver dollars; and this sam will be paid by instalments extending over thirty-four years, with interest at six per cont. A somewhat extraordinary and startling case of soppo-ed murder in a Broadway gambling saloon is now being investigated by Justice Connelly at the jiower Police Court. Catharine Mulhearn, a domestic lately in the employment of Robert L. Willis, the reputed proprietor of « gambling house pituated at No. 5°] Broadway, deposed that in the month of September last she beard a fight and cries of “murder” in the hallway, and that the following morning upon going to ae cistern in the yard she distinctly saw the dead body of & man floating in the water. She siso says that she saw marks of blood in the hall way in question, and other evidence of a recent fight, and that the colored man in the employ of Mr. Willis was busily engaged in scrub- bing out the stains of biood when she made the discovery. On searching the house the police found Stains of biood in the plaves described by the wit ness, but were woable to discover any dead body Wisen the police entered the saloon about a dozen persons wore engaged ata card table. The entire party were arrested, and jocked up to av the result of (be examination isewhere will be foand & fall account of the proceedings, together with a report of the bearing before Justice Connelly yea terday afternoon. The investigation will be re umed this moruing at pine o'clock. The eommittee—covsivting of Messrs. Ixaac A Upton, of New York; Wm. Smith, of Philadelphia and Captain John Whitcomb, of the revenue ser vice—appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to decide upon the its of the various life and eurf boats, with the view of testing their offic “y for saving shipwrecked mariners on the coast, pro- ceeded to Randy Hook yesterday for the examina tion and trial of anid boats. As there was but little surf running yesterday the trial did not amount te much, and the experiments will be continued to. day. During the experiments @ man named John Sherman, of Long ranch, was drowned. His body bas not yet been recovered. . The wis! of Dr. Caillardct, charged with attempt NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER. 21, 1858. ing to kill Hiram Cranston, | roprietor of th York Hotel, is progressing in the General Sessions. Yesterday & nnmber of witnesses were examined for the prosecution, and the case was adjourned till this morning, when the defence will be opened. General Walbridge was unanimously nominated by acclamation last night by the Third district Con- gressional Convention at the Fifth Ward Hotel. A large number of the democracy were present, the utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and the proceedings throughout were characterized by the liveliest de- monstrations of applause. The Excise Commissioners met yesterday, grant- ed an innkeeper’s license, and adjourned till this afternoon at three o'clock. The ship New York, which arrived at Charleston on Sstarday, reports:—On the 4th of October, in lat. 33 47 north, and long. 58 06 west, spoke the United States steam frigate Niagara, from Charles- ton, bound for the coast of Africa; wished to be re- ported—all well. ‘The fifteenth annual meeting of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor was held Jast evening at the Cooper Institute, when Dr. Bel- lows delivered an interesting lecture upon the prin- ciples and policy of public systematic charity, with a view to promote unity of opinion and action as to the best mode of relief. The hall was very re- spectably attended. The report showed the num- ber of families visited during the year ending with October, to be 13,842, and the expenditure during the same period $66,578. The Board of Education was formally called to order last evening, but there was no quorum of the members present, and the President announced it adjourned in consequence. Next week a special meeting will be called for Wednesday evening. The receipts of beef cattle during the past week amounted to 4,058 head, an increase of 264 head as compared with the week previous. The quality of the stock offered was generally of inferior quality, and a decline in prices of fully half a cent per pound was acceded to, the range of rates being 6c. a Se. There was a slight improvement in the demand for cows and calves, at $20 a $65, while prime brought $70 a $90. Veal calves were in ac- tive demand, at 34c.a 7c. The receipts of sheep and lambs were unusually heavy, and prices de- clined to $2 a $6, according to quality. Withample supplies the price of swine declined to 4c. a 5c. per pound. The soles of cotton yesterday embraced about 2,000 bales, a good portion of which was in transita. The mar ket closed steady, on the basis of about 123¢¢. per Ib. for middling uplands. Breadstuffs were dull. Provisions were unchanged, Sugars were heavy, with sales of 1,030 hhes, Coffee was quiet, but firm, Freight engagements were mouerate, and at rates given in another place. Mr. Keltt in Whippy Swamp—The Folly and Insolence of our Modern Southern Poli- ticlans, ‘The Hon. Mr. Keitt lately delivered a speech on national polities to his constituents in Whippy Swamp, South Carolina, from which we are enabled to comprehend the strict Southern construction of the English Kansas bill, and the terrible consequences which will follow a disregard of the ridiculous prohibitions involved in that adjustment. Mr. Keitt, with the adroitness of a regular hair-eplitting abstractionist, maintains the posi- tion that the South lost nothing, but actually gained a nice constitutional abstraction or two, in the defeat of the Lecompton bill and the sub- stitution of the English compromise. So be it, then. He is like the poor philosoper, who, with only a robin for dinner, put on a pair of specta- cles which magnified the bird to the proportions of a capon; but if by the process the cravings of the man’s stomach were satisfied, who shall com- plain of his folly? We come into a direct col- lision with Mr. Keitt, however, upon the merits of the English restriction. It provides that, in the event of the rejection by Kansas of the land overtures of Congress in connection with the Lecompton constitution, “it shall be deemed aud held that the people of Kansas do not desire admission into the Union with said constitution,’ c.. and that “in that event the people of said Territory are hereby authorized and empowered to form for themselves a constitution and State government, by the name of the State of Kansas, according to the federal constitution, and may elect dele- gates for that purpose whenever, and not before, it is ascertained by a census, duly and legally taken, that the population of said Territory equals or exceeds the ratio of representation re- quired for a member of the House of Represen- tatives of the Congress of the United States.” That is the law as it stands. Had Kansas accepted the terms connected with the Le- compton constitution, she would have been within the Union asa sovereign State, with her thirty or forty thousand people ; but, in reject- ing the overtures to this end, she is interdicted from admission until ber population equals or exceeds the full Congressional ratio of 93,400. ‘This restriction was put in to appease the South- ern fire-eaters. It was a tub to the Southern whale—nothing more. It secured the passage of the bill, and gave the Southern politicians something to swear by, which was a very gene- rous act on the part of Mr. English and the other Northern supporters of the concession. But, admitting that they really consented to this restriction in good faith, it has no binding force upon Congress. The Congress which paseed it at the last session may repeal it at the next, for there is no constitutional sanctity in any such preposterous legislative compact between North- ern and Southern politicians. Mr. Keitt, however, is horrified to discover that “all the Northern democratic nominees for Con- gress ere pledged to disregard thie provision of the conference bill;” but he declares that “the fulfilment of the bond the South must and will exact,” and that “any vivlation of it must be fol- lowed by retribution.” But we can tell Mr. Keitt that all such idle ranting and threatening ie sheer nonsense. The Missouri compromise was a compact; but when the opportunity was offer- ed cur Southern politicians found no impedi- ments of good faith in the way of its repeal, and that precedent settles the business for this Eng- lish restriction. That precedent has not only re- sulted in the expulsion of slavery from Kansas, but has rendered its establishment exceodingly doubtful in any other Territory of the Union, present or prospective. It were well for our modern Southern politicians if the disasters con- fequent upon the repeal of the Missouri compro- mise stopped here. But they do not. They in- volve the overthrow of the Northera democracy by an overshadowing anti-slavery organization, and the demoralization of the Southern democra- cy to an equally intolerant sectional fuetion, * Thua, from the foolish experiments and inso- Jent demande of these Southern fire-eating dis- orgenizers of the school of Mr. Keitt, the South is menaced with the dangers which he describes, The only hope of the South is in the conservative semiment of the North; yet these So thern mal- contents, who have brought upon themselves these evils of which they so bitterly complain, appear to be resolved upon the last extremity of rwshnese and arrogance, in demanding, at the bazerd of disanion, the fulfilment of this absurd English restriction. Upon this point Mr. Senator Brown, of °" sissippi, is even more ferocious than | Mr. Keitt, fo. while the latter pledges himecif to | the administ:; tion, the former intends to mak this Kansas mbug a test of the fidelity of the | administratio } to Southern rights. The impu- | dence of this threat is really sublime, when we consider the fact that many of these Southern disorganizers (Brown among them) have lately | gone over to the Northern Douglas movement against the administration—thia, too, notwith- standing the course of Douglas in Congress, and his subsequent course repudiating Lecompton, the English bill, the English restriction, and all concerned therein. This treachery of our Southern fire-cating politicians to Mr. Buchanan absolves him from all further obligations to them. He has risked his administration in behalf of Southern rights under the constitution and the law, and now it will not do for Southern chevaliers to cry “treason,” when they themselves are the traitors. ‘Thus their empty threatenings concerning this English bill will go for nothing. The adminis- tration will serve them exactly right in recom- mending and encouraging the earliest regu- lar admission of Kansas, regardless of her population. We place these agitating and gas- conading Southern fire-eaters upon the same level with our ranting and canting Northern abo- lition dirt-eatera; for the Northern dirt-eater is not more fanatical or unscrupulous in the pur- suit of his crazy anti-slavery crotchets than is the Southern fire-eater upon his flimsy and con- temptible abstractions, The administration has had to deal with both these disorganiaing fac- tions. It has still to contend against them, and will only have them both fairly under foot with the admission of Kansas, regardless of the prohi- bition which Mr. Keitt says involves the fearful contingences of a Southern confederacy. When Southern chivalry has degenerated into Southern trickery, and Southern good faith into Southern duplicity and perfidy, and when the Southern statesmen of the last generation have been superseded in the present by Southern jug- glers and gambling politicians for the Presidency, the time has gone by when Southern party lead- ers can dictate either the law to the adminis- tration or the policy of the democratic party. Such are the conseqnences which the folly and iuso- lence of Southern fire-eaters have brought upon themselves and their section; but we doubt not that, under the reaction of the good sense of the conservative Southern people, the reign of their shallow-pated and swaggering disunion dema- gogues is drawing to an end. Tux Moxey Krxos or Isragi om Famny Covnen..—During the last week of September the chiefs of the house of Rothschild held their family council in Paris, and the members from London, Vienna, Frankfort and Naples gathered round the counter of their brother in the French capital. This sanhedrim of the Jew brokers of Europe meets once every two or three years, generally upon the eve of some public crisis, in order to debate and settle the policy they will pursue in squeezing the money bags of the people, and doling out the needful to the pauper govern- ments of Europe. What the crisis is that has now called them together can only be conjec- tured. The house has far outgrown the calcula- tions of Meyer Anselm Rothschild, its founder, who limited his operations to borrowing for pen- niless governments and changing of money be- tween the different capitals of Europe. He made avery good thing of it, and left to his sons a handsome penny. But they have for many years been extensive dabblers in all sorts of specula- tions, sending out agents to every part of the world; and so widespread are their operations that no one knows, perhaps not even themselves, just where they stand. Their credit stands among the highest in every commercial comma- nity; and yet, when the convulsion does come, it is not at all improbable that the house of Rothschild will prove to be just as hol- low a shell as have all the other money: houses of times past and present. Jew Gentile are alike subject to the law that rm an indulgence in immense spocalations, palatial mansions, expensive agencies, pharasaical chari- ties, pretty opera girls, political intrignes, aad fast living. The house of Rothschild has been carrying on these things for a full generation or two, and it may, like many other grand financial machines, have worn out the heart aad gore, and be nothing but an empty shell, which will some day explode with a great crash. In the political state of Europe and the finao- cial conditign of the world there is an abundance of matter for discussion in the sanhedrim of the Jew brokers, A revolution in France woaldl tumble down half of the thrones of Europe, and thake all of them to their centres, The house of Rothschild belongs to the old dynasties, It has no sympathy with the Napoleonic thrones, whose foundations are being la‘d in Spain, Belgium, Italy, Turkey and the Moldo-Wallachian pro- vinoes; nor with the democratic fecling that is epreading in England, smouldering in France, and burning for unity in the Ger- man fatherland. Whichever turn the coming changes in Europe may take, it ix likely to be an undesirable thing to them, for the paper securities upon which their house is built are based entirely upon the willingness of the present and coming generations to pay for the cost of enslaving their fathers, The utter ance of a new political principle in Europe, either by the people or a Napoleon, may sweep away both princes and their promises. And even without eo sudden a blow, the influence of the Jew brokers may wane. Their last sanhe- drim was called together when Louis Napoleon found he could dispense with their services, and borrow the vast sums he required for the Crimean war directly from the people. The sanhedrim then prophecied that the poor Gentile takers could not carry the French renter, and they must soon sell to the Jews at an enormous low. Bat Napoleon obtained all the money he wanted, and the rentes have not yet broken down. In the financial condition of the world there is as much to discuss as in the political. Money is accumalated at the great centres of trade, and there is no employment for it. The customers of the Rothschilds, who deposit largely with them, expect their quarterly dividends. When a similar state of things occurred in 1842, and the rate of interest went down to one and a half and two per cent per annum, this same sanhedrim came to the conclu- sion that the world required o great war. There must be a general stirring up, said they, and new expenditures and tiew debts created. The stirring up did not come till 1848, and then not in the way the Jewish sanhedrim wanted it. At that time there was much talk of the many millions the Rothschilds loat by the decline in public securities. Since then their »parations have been multitadinons; their agents every- where have lived grandly—in a etyle vory diffe. _ eee rent from the modvet establichment of Meyer Anscim in the Judah-strasse at Frankfort—and have grown rich. But the prosperity of agents docs not always prove the prosperity of princi- pals. In discussing the financial condition of the world there is one point that the sanhedrim may well consider. The palm of wealth is fast passing to the New World—and to New York as its metropolis, Money goes to where it finds the most active and profitable employment; and in this no nation can compete with the United States, Before many years the Jew brokers of European governments will find that the wealth they have so largely dealt in bas slipped through their fingers, and gone into the hands of men who have little faith in the promises of princes, and none in the stability of thrones, The aan- hedrim of the money changers would do well to consider this fact,and be prepared to answer the queetion— What then? Tne County Nominations anp THR Tax- payers.—The system by which nominations are made at the conventions of the different politi- cal partica, now being held in the various districts and wards of the city, holda out but little hope to the taxpayers that the right kind of men will be presented for their suffrages from these sources at the approaching election. Bullyism and rowdyism in the lobby, and packed meetings of office holders and their dependents within the convention, secm to be the instrumentalities at work all round in effecting the nominations. In this event, the taxpayers will have to scrutinize the tickets pretty closely, and probably will be compelled, in self-defence, to nominate indepen- dent candidates for many of the county offices. Let them look sharp after the nominees of the conventions. THE LATEST NEWS. Our Special Washington Despatch. Wasmcron, Oct. 20, 1858. Senor Mata, representative of the constitutional govern- ment of Mexico, will leave Washington to-morrow for Vera Crug, to const with Juarez and his Cabinet on im. portant matters with regard to establishing more intimate yelations between his distracted country and the United States. It is siid the adm/‘nistration is desirous of aiding in any possible constitutional manner that neighboring republic to bring order out of the chaos that now oxists should one of the parties show its authority and ability to covern. Itis understood there is still a persistent effort among the sharp speculators in your city to humbug and fleece the imple and uninitiated about bogus Mexican ‘and grants. Some of the same parties were here last wintor. Othere, formerly connected with the oid bogus Mosquito grant, and such like schemes, have gone into the business. It is stated that nearly a million of dolfars will be re. quired to pay the volunteers engaged in service against the Florida Indians during the late troubles previous to their removal, and for losses by depredations. Each Indian wiil have subjected the government to a@ coat some- thing near one hundred thousand dollars. ‘THK GENERAL NRWAPAPRR DRWATCH. Waseuaton, Oct. 20, 1858.
