She left Liverpool on the morning of the 6th inst., and her advices are, therefore, three days later than those received by the Vanderbilt at this port. The news, in a commerciai point of view, is exceedingly important, though its character has doubtless been anticipated by the commercial public. The advices from New York taken out by the Canada caused a fall in cotion in the Laverpool market of one-quarter of @ penny per pound. The market continued irregular, and on the 5th closed heavy at the decline mehtioned, while at Manchester there was more business doing. Breadstuffs exhibited a declining tendency, but prices had not materially changed. Provisions generally were dull, at a decline. The London sugar market was heavy, and previously reported rates barely maintained. The London brokers’ circulars report American securities inactive, without change in rates. Con- suls are quoted at 97] a 98 for both money and ac- count. Money was abundant, at comparatively cheap rates. The United States frigate Niagara was at St. Vincent, Cape Verd Islands, on the 22d, where she probably put in for water. Fifty-seven of the 271 negroes placed on board of her had already died. There were rumors in London that Lord Derby would resign the Premiership, in consequence of ill-health, and that Lord John Russell would be called to the head of affairs. The news from the Coathent of Europe is unim- portant. By the Canada we have later accounts from South America. It is stated that the Paraguayans were actively making preparations to repel the forces of the United States. Our correspondent at St. Martin, W. L, writing on the lat inst., says:—The yield of salt from the la- goone this season has exceeded two million bushels: The crops of sugar, yams and corn, have been good, and the growing ones look well. Rain isabundant, and good health pervades the whole island. There is no sugar in first hands, aud but very little salt and rum; the latter is distilled from molasses, and is superior to that made at St. Croix. The California overland mail, with San Fran- cisco dates to the 22d ult., two days later than those received by way of Panama, arrived at St. Louis on Tuesday night. The news is unimportant. Most of the passengers from New York bound for Fraser river had left San Francisco for the inte- rior of California. General Harney had started for Oregon. An earthquake shock was felt at San Francisco on the 2ist uit. Senator Broderick, of California, has arrived at St. Louis from Salt Lake City. He encountered severely cold weather in the mountains, and had one foot frozen. When on the Plains his convey- ance upect, and Mr. Broderick had a rib broken And was otherwire severely bruised. Our correspondent in Galveston, Texas, writing on the 7th inst., states that fever still prevailed in the city, but it was not extending. Frost was daily looked for, but had not been felt at date. The shipping trade of the port was very brisk, as many aa nineteen steamers arriving each month from different home porta, besides a number of sailing vessels weekly. The disease known as the “black tongue” was appearing amongst the cattle’ all over the State. The foliowing are the receipts for a week from the interior:—2,118 bales cotton, 1 do. 9 bbls. pecans, 1 by ¢ hides, 18 do. leather and 705 sacks cotton seeds | exports 1,276 bales of cotton, 9 do. wool S beeves and ‘241 hides, The chess match by telegraph between New York and Philadelphia was resumed last night at the Merchants’ Exchange. Seven more moves were played, when the game was adjourned to next Saturday evening. We give the game, which shounls in intricate positions, elsewhere, which chess students would do well to stady. At present the New Yorkers scem to have an advantage. The Board of Emigration Commis-ioners held their regular weekly mecting at the accustomed place yesterday afternoon, Gulian C. Verplanck in the chair. There were also present Mayor Tie mann, of New York, and Mayor Powell, of Brook lyn, and the Health Officer. Mayor Tiemann pre sented a report from the Committee on Construction Bhowing the progres: which has been made in the neveral offices and residences of the employés at Quarantine, and asking for the sum of $1,800 to further operations feferred to a commitiee, with power. On motion of Mayor Tiemann, it was re solved that, in consequence of renewed threats on the part of the Staten Island people to fire the new erections, the necessary notice be given to the sheriff of the county. The weekly state ment showed an increase of 414 upon last weok the balance of commutation fund being $24,815 57. Ja the Vontt of General Sessions yesterday a @rominent merchant furnished the necessary amount of ball ($10,000) fixed by the District At torney and Judge Rassell in the case of Robert Cairns, the policeman who shot Join Hollis, a desperate character, who attempted to escape; whereopon the accused was liberated. Sabse quently the Grand Jury came into court, after exa Mining the facts of the case and failing to find an in Gictment. The trial of Nancy Wood, for arson in the Jat degree, occupied the whole day, and resulted in the conviction of the prisoner of the second grade of that offence. She will be sentenced on Saturday. This being Thanksgiving Day, the law courta will he closed. The coroner’s inquest in the case of Richard Bishop, who died at the City Hospital in conse- quence of injuries received during the collision of the ferry boata at the Peck slip ferry on Friday last, was yesterday post,oned until half-past nine o'clock this morning, at which hour the witnesses are requested to be in attendance at the New York Hospital. The Board of Education was obliged to adjourn last evening without doing any busineas, there not being a quorum of members present. The receipts of beef cattle during the past week amounted (o 4,045 head, showing a decrease of 304 head as compared with the week previous. The demand yesterday was tolerably active, but prices on the average declined about a quarter of a cent per pound, although for the best quality of cattle offered a trifling advance on laat week's prices was obtained. There were no really prime cattle on the market. Considering the state of the weather, and also that the poultry season is now in full blast, a decline in prices of beeves may be rea- sonably looked for. The demand for milch cows was moderate, but previous rates were maintained. Prices ranged all the way from $20 to $65, and even $90. There was an improved demand for veal calves at 34c. a 7c., according to quality. The de- mand for sheep and lambs was quite brisk, and prices advanced 25c. per head. The quotations are $2.50.a $6.50, There was a fair supply of hogs on market, and an upward tendency in prices. Prices ranged from Se. to 5Jc. per pound. The cotton market was firmer yesterday, and closed at 4gc. per Ib. advance: the sales embraced about 2,000 bales, chiefly on the spot, and on the basis of Ilige., at Which it closed firm. The increase of receipts in the Southern ports since the Ist of September last amounts to 190,000 sales, and the total increase in exports to 64,000 bales, compared with the same period last year. ‘The flour market was firm for the better class of brands, but common grades were more freely offered, and closed, in some cases, at rather easier rates. Wheat was io good demand, and the higher grades were firmer, while sales were made toa fairextent. Corn was more freely pressed on the market by holders, and cloged at rather easier rates, with sales of Western mixed “chiefly at T4c. a 75c. Pork was buoyant and active, and closed at better prices: sales of meas were made at $17 50a $17 623, and primo at $18 75a $14. Sugars were steady, with sales of abeut 400 hhds, Cuba at rates given in another column. Coffee was steady, but quiet. Freights were steady, while en- gegcments were moderate. The Late Elections=The Douglas Conspirators and the Administration. Our late Northern October and November elections have all been carried against the ad- ministration, and with a remarkable degree of harmony the opposition journals, of all parties and factions, are rejoicing over these their won- derful victories, a8 almost wholly attributable to the Lecompton Kansas policy of Mr. Bu- chanan. In this connection, the rejoicings of the Douglas democratic organs, from Philadei- phia (o Chicago, are particularly enthusiastic, and they would have us believe that a spontane- ous pepular revolution against the “ Lecompton fraud” and the “English bribe” had swept the country from Maine to Minnesota. We must admit that these disastrous demo- cratic defeats are largely due to the Douglas conspirators and deserters from their regular party camp; but we must deny that their treachery aud desertion were the results of a patriotic repugnance to the “ Lecompton fraud” x “the English swindle.” On the contrary, from the highest to the lowest, all these “popular sovereignty” renegades were ac- tuated by the revengeful and selfish mo- tives which make up the platform of the disappointed office beggar. Thus, one way or another, we might readily specify the disap- pointments and revenges of Douglas, Walker, Stanton, Forney, Haskin, Clark, and all the tribe, concerning the honors, and offices, and spoils and plunder of the federal government. ‘These selfish motives were the real causes which turned these men against the administration; and the “Lecompton constitution,” the “ English swindle” and “ popular sovereignty” were but the convenient pretexts employed to cover up a premeditated rebellion. From the first day of Mr. Buchanan’s occapa- tion of the White House, the Southern fire-eaters, discovering, from his inaugural and his Cabinet, that neither fire-eating leaders nor fire-eating absurdities would be permitted to govern his domestic or foreign policy, threatened him with a Southern revolt of the most fearful descrip- tion. Accordingly, with the first address of Gov. Walker to the people of Kansas, and for some months thereafter, a general hue and ery came up from these Southern malcontents, fiercely denouncing the “treachery and perfidy” of “Walker and bis master” in reference to “Southern rights” in K And in all this there was much of the miech'ef of a deliberate and extensive conspiracy i break down an administration which had dared to assume the management of the government upon its own responsibility. We all know that the projected Southern rebellion signally failed; but the mo- tives of the conspirators were stibstantiaily the same as those of this Douglas rebellion of the North—the ruin of a President whom they bad vainly attempted to rele. In all these late Northern elections, except New York, the democratic Douglas element was, more or less, in open and undisguised co-opera- tion with the black republicans. The contest in Illinois is not an exception, for the Dougias bat- tle there was substantially upon the same plat form as that of the republicans—bostility to the Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanan. But while in Pennsylvania and Illinois the Douglas deserters openly took the field against the administration their fellow conspirators of the State of Now York disguised their treachery under the mantle of friendship and confidence. The principal federal officeholders of this city, and the party managers of Tammany Hail, were hand and glove with Douglas and Forney, and in constant communi- cation with them, while professing the warmest devotion to the President. Under such treache- rons democratic influences Morgan was elected our Governor, and Clork and Haskin were re- elected to Congress. This work of treachery was actively inau- gurated ot Syracuse, under the management of Dean Richmond, Peter Cagger, Erastus Corning, and the clique of the Albany Argus, in the insult- ing expulsion of the anti-Tammany delegates of this city. The pretence was the consolidation of the party; but the object was the demoralization and defeat of the party, and for the benefit of Seward and Douglas. This did not at first np- pear, and until within a week or two of the clee- tion the general impression on all sides was that Parker would be chosen Governor by a band- come plurality. But as the election drew nigh, the seeds of democratic discord sown at Syra- cuse and in Tammany Hall began to develope their fruits, and from that moment ft was mani- fest that the administration was betrayed, and that the State was turned over to the enemy. Like the “sherris sack” of Falstaff, this Douglas conspiracy “hath a two-fold operation in it,” al- the little fellow’s outcries, and have condeacended though not exactly of the game exhilarating | tor ply to them, whea they merited a reply just character. First, the leading conspirators have had their revenge to gratify; and secondly, they have sought to turn it to a pro- fitable account in view of the re-organi- zation of the democracy in 1860, in the sanc- tuary of the Charleston Convention. But in the first and in the second consideration, under the programme adopted and thus far pursued, the paramount object involved is what Forney face- tiously calls the “Tylerizing” of the present ad- ministration; in other words, the work compre- hended by these men demands, first of all, that Mr. Buchanan shall be read out of the democra- tic church, as John Tyler was read out of the old whig party. Then, but not till then, will the coast be clear. What, then, should be the policy of the admin- istration? Clearly, the policy of the guillotine to every leading officcholder implicated in this Douglas conspiracy, here and elsewhere. We eperceive that the removal of Collector Schell is now imperiously demanded in certain quarters, as a just penalty for his alleged neglect of duty in regard to our late elections, We believe, however, that if guilty at all, of remis:ness as a partisan, the Collector is the least guilty of our federal officials, and that if he is to be dismissed, the whole batch should be turned out of doors, and a new set appointed, from the Collector down to the Naval Storekeeper. The adminis- tration may hesitate at this sweeping operation, but it will be infinitely better as a cure for the disease than any partial application of the knife. Nor need there be any hesitation in this tho- rough work of reform. The administration, in the results of these fall elections, has seen its worst days. Nor has ii sugtained any important damages which it may not repair. Even in his approaching annual message to Congress Mr. Buchanan, upon new measures and questions of legislation, domestic and foreign, may, and most probably will, present a schedule of recommen- dations which will entirely overshadow the sla- very agitation and all parties and factions con- cerned therein. Thus, on or before the mecting of the Congress of December, 1859, the demo- cracy and the opposition factions may undergo such processes of reorganization as will utterly supersede the plans and calculations of Seward, Douglas and all the other Kansas and nigger agitators of the day. Party Nomryavions Yor ComPrronLer.— There are already three candidates in the field for the office of City Comptrotler. George H. Purser is the nominee of Tammany Hall, Stephen P. Russell is the candidate of the Tammany out- siders or self-styled regulars, and Robert T. Haws is the choice of the republicans. Were this trio put into a mortar and treated after the most ap- proved formula of the pharmacopoa, we do not believe that the extract of their three carcasses would make one sound man. We might analyse their antecedents, if it was necessary; but we do not see that there is anything to be gained by it. The only observation which their selection sug- gests is that the parties whom they represent are all cagerly seeking to secure their share of the city spoils, and that in this spirit they have put the right men in the right place. From present appearances we do not see the least likelihood of the movement for corporate reform assuming a practical character. The taxpayers have, to be sure, iseued manifesto; but it amounts to nothing. It denounces expli- citly enough the abuses and oppressions under which we are suffering, but it steers clear of the conclusions to which its own statements point. It suggests no plan of action, devises. no remedy. Like the Irish repealers, the taxpayers’ con mittee are content with establishing a grievance and living upon it. The only practical result of their or- ganization has been the appointment of two | lawyers to watch their interests. The occupa- tion will no doubt prove so profitable to the par- ties selected that they will take care that their grievances shall be long lived. Like a suit in chancery, the protection of their interests will furnish handsome incomes to several generations of lawyers. These cormorants never willingly let go their hold of a good thing, and the man- ner in which this sinecure has been created shows that it is susceptible of protracted pickings. It it ever was intended that the taxpayers’ movement should lead to substantial reforms in the management of our city affairs, no more effec- tive plan of nentrelizing that intention could have been bit upon than the arrangement to which we refer. It would seem as if the direc- tion of this organization had been purposely assumed by men to defeat its objects, or, at all events, to divert it from any very dangerous activity. Considering the large amount of party spoils that were imperilled by it, we are justi- fied in arriving at the conclusion that our leading city politicians have had » | nd in imparting to the plans of the associat se Lormless direc- tion the All the fine anticipations formed of the results of this movement are, therefore, to all appear- ance destined to be disappointed. Between this and the day of election nothing is likely to be done, unless, indeed, the general body of tax- peyers should be moved to indignation at the manner in which their interests are being frit- tered away, and resolve to concentrate their strength in « vigorous effort. Of a spontaneous explosion of this kind we confess we ean see no prevent probability, so we shall have to resign ourselves for some time longer to wholesale peculation, bad government, dirty streets, and continually increasing and oppressive taxation. A Hann Wister ror tae Poor—Storrace ov Poetic Wonks.—In a few weeks from now the winter will be hard upon us, and a good deal of the outdoor work now in operation will have to be stopped, and many thousands thrown out of employment. This is » bleak prospect for the poor. On the Central Park alone there are em- ployed some four thousand men—two thousand eight hundred on the Park proper, and over a thourand on the new reservoir. When the frost comes the lorger portion of these must be dis- charged, and © it will be to some extent with the employés on nearly all kinds of work. After the recent hard times we fear that working men have not been able to lay anything by fora rainy day, and the probability is that we shall witness much privation and suffering during the coming season, unless the charitably wealthy extend Lounteous langesres to the needy. Tow Taewn ¢ ox Cutxa.—One of our cotempo- raties, who may be appropriately called the Tom Thumb of the newspapers, has worked him- self into a terrible stew about a very «mall mat- ter, and ie continually crying out, “Has anybody seen the China treaty we published? will anybody notice the China treaty we published? has any- body stolen the China trenty we published’ Some of our gtaver cotemporaries have noticed about as much ag an outery by Barnum’s Tom ‘Thumb would have merited one, The little fel- Jow’s wind organ is blown to its utmost in vain; nobody cares a fig about its treaty, for the HeraLp published some ten days or a fortnight since, and spread before the whole world, all the material pointe of that treaty and those made between China and all the other great Powers of Chris- tendom. Manager Ullman and the “Three Hungry Frenchmen.” Astronomers have discovered spots on the sun. There are periods when the glory of the moon is obscuted. The solar system is not perfect. The celestial bodies are eccentric in their conduct. The earth itself, which we in- habit, has its little irregularities—such as volca- noce and earthquakes. As with the terrestrial and celestial bodies, so with the animal creation; and man, the king of all, even in his highest developement, is not exempt from the common lot. The greatest statesmen, the most distin- guished artists, and the bravest captains have alweys made almost as many mistakes as they have gained successes. The career of the first Napoleon, splendid as it was, was not free from errors of judgment. It is not to be wondered at, then, that the little Napoleon of the Opera should have some spots on his sun, and that the star of his destiny should sometimes make tracks in eccentric directions. It would be wonderful if, with his astonishing success, and the superior tact with which he has gained it—the dashing brilliancy of his coups—he should not have left some joints of his armor open to the lance of envy, malice or hatred. Such is the fact. Ullman has quarrelled with come of the critics, oyster house and otherwise. As a rule, quarrels are mistakes. But sometimes a gentleman acciden- tally gets at loggerheads with his valet, or his bootblack, or his cook; sometimes he kicks them out. So with the man of the Academy. He got at loggerheads with some of the critics, quarrels ensued, and ke kicked them out. Especially, and palpably, and unmistakeably, did he kick out three hungry Frenchmen. Of course we mean kick in a figurative sense. The idea of proceeding physically with a hungry Frenchman would be absurd. Well, what do the three hungry Frenchmen do? Cut off from their free admission to the Opera, they howl like hyenas on a short allowance, or young men about town when asked to a party where there’s no supper. They tear their hair, they beat their breasts, they mourn, and groan, and rave, in a way that is especially French and exceedingly amusing. They pour out hogsheads of wrath upon the manager of the Opera, and don’t hesitate at a falsehood or two to injare an artist or prejudice the director. That was good fun for the three hungry Frenchmen; but fun must not be ail on one side. So the manager has taken up the pen and polished off the three hungry Frenchmen. Here is the Napoleonic pronunciamirato, sharp, short, savage, as any of the Little Corporal’s effusions: Voila/— THE MANAGER 70 THE AUNGRY PRENCHMEN.

We have been, during several years, keeping a sharp eye upon the oyster house critics, who pretended once to give the law to the Opera, and, without claiming too much for our- selves, we can still say that they have been brought down to their proper level. But here we have a new cabal, organized by three hungry Frenchmen, upon an entirely new basis, happily denominated sugar and water criticism—sngar and water, the expensive beverage affected by Frenehmen who dine at one pence a head and pocket a lump of the toothsome luxury. Why, alongside of the suger and water critics the debris of the oyster house clique rises absolately to the level of comparative respectability. Why, it is meaner than the free feed system of the Sunday papers, and emaller than the existence of the Fifth avenue aristocracy with seven dol- lars a month butcher's bills. Inviting artists to a soirée, forcing them to sing—after the fashion of the British Mowenas, who asked Paganini to dinner and then inquired why he did'nt bring his fiddie—and then sugaring and watering all hands. We bave heard of weak tea criticism, wut the sugar and water article is several de- grees lower than the faintest infusion of the mildest Souchong. The ew swere aroma will ad- here to the skirts of the three hungry French- men more tenaciously than the odor of garlic, which adhereth to the Gaul closer than a brother. It will rise up in their absinthe, poi- son their kirsch, ambitter their dominoes, and sharpen the salad of their existence. The record of their tremendous riots over the precious parquette tickets will go down to pos- terity side by side with the chronicles of the glo- rious victories of Ullman. Sugar and water on one side, vinegar on the other-—fun all around for the appreciative public, with its quiet grin. But to leave the manager to deal with the three hungry Frenchmen—he who craves for the adver- tisements, he who gives the sugar and water soirées, and makes it,a sine qua non that artists shall sing for him or be ignored in the Churrier—and, apropos, they say that there is still another critic who is grand in the soirée business —strictly busi- nees in the latter case—or he with the inordinate appetite for tickets, probably to sell them to buy sugar and water for soirtes like those of bis con- freve~let them go; Ullman can take care of them. The only serious objection to the affair is that the Frenchmen should be 20 cowardly, #0 deapicable and 0 mean as to attempt to take thoir revenge on the maiager by false personal attacks upon the bright fame of so admirable an artist, aud 60 altogether estimable a person as Mlle. Piccolo- mini. What gentleman would be guilty of such a piece of meanness as to send, under his own seal, a malicious attack upon a lady to the per- son abused? We are quite confideat that such conduct will not be sustained by the French peo- ple of this city. Their proverbial politeness pre- termitsthe possibility of their doing so. The Courrior itself has no standing, but small circulation, and is not’ in any sense what it pretends to be—the organ of the French popula- tion of New York. Even the sugar and water may be withdrawn from the three hungry Frenchmen if they do not have acare. If they libel women to revenge themselves upon men, they may find an émeue in a quarter where they least expect it. Their conduct has opened the way for the establishment of a French organ of the first class, and if they do not mend their man- ner we should not be surprised to see it. What will become of the three hungry Frenchment Salt and water, repentance and ashes, will be their portion, miserab miserable animals | as s they are. Tue Overann Revrx to Tux Pactic.—In another column will be found reports of the mass meetings held in San Francisco and Santa Clara to celebrate the arrival of the first overland mail! across the plains. It will be seen that this event has thrown the people of California into a per- fect ecatacy of joy, and that they augur from it the most important benefits to their State. In their gratefulness for this prospect they have paid high honors to the gentleman despatched by us to give a description of the first trip, and said many handsome things of our enterprise, which it is unnecessary for us to repeat. The act which the California people set such a high estimate upon is only an ordinary feature of the policy of a first class journal like the Hxrao, which stops at no cost or risk to secure for its readers the earliest and most authentic informa- tion on all matters connected with the public interests. The overland route may be considered a success, in point of time and facility of travel. It appears that the train reached San Francisco in twenty-three days and twenty-three and a half | from St. Louis. This time is shorter by day than that agreed upon by the contract of the com- pany. When the Tehuantepec route is opened, it will be travelled in a shorter time than the St. Louis road; but for some time there will most probably be a rivalry between them. The London Pos, in an article which we publish in another column, comments favorably on the projected Pacific Railroad through Canada to Vancouver, and predicts that it will be more suc- ceesful than any route through the United States. It remains to be proved whether the energy and perseverance of our people cannot outrun our neighbors across the line. The success of the Butter$eld line over the Plains, promises well to begin with. MrssaGe or THE Mayor or Bautimone.— -h view of the recent outrages and murders in Bal- timore, the Mayor of that city has just transmit- ted a message to the Common Council, urging the necessity of increased vigilance on the part of the authorities in maintaining the supremacy of the laws. Mayor Swann attributes the law- leasnese which pervades the city of Baltimore to several causes—the warfare against the organized government by what he calls a partisan press, among others, which, he says, has paralyzed the arm of authority. The existence of low drink- ing houses, the carrying of concealed weapons, and the defective organization of the criminal courts contribute also to strengthen the cause of rowdyism and violence. There is no doubt that in Baltimore, as well as in this and other large cities of the Union, the weak administration of criminal laws and the ease with which malefactors can escape the penalty of their crimes by means of legal shifis and quibbles bas done more than anything clse to swell the catalogue of crime THE LATEST NEWS. Our Special Washington ‘he THE FORTHCOMING MESSAGE OF TK PRESTDENT— ‘THE BRITISH IN NICARAGUA—ANOTHER OVERLAND PACIFIC MALL ROUTE WANTED, ETC., BTC. Wasurwctos, Nov. 17, 1858. It is understood that the President will in his message recommend Congress to provide for the construction of a railroad through tho Territories, to connect California with the Atlantic States, leaving it to the States on either side to make the congection entirely acrose the continent. The practicabilty of the El Paso route having been demon @irated .y the successful operations of the Overland Mal!
