New York, Thursday, September 1, 1859. rene 2 Shp ern aa lh b Oige a ain REE The Sews. By the arrival of the Jason off Cape Race we are informed that the mammoth steamer Great Eastern has been chartered by Mc. Lever, and is expected to leave Galway about the middle of the preseu! month for New York. She will call off St. Johns to land despatches, mails and passengers. The latest despatches from London on the 20th ult. state tha the money market exhibited increased firmness, and consols were quoted at 954 a 95f. Illinois Central Railroad shares were at 36} discount; New York Central was quoted at 85 a 86, and Erie at 6. The Liverpool corn market exhibited scarcely any variation. By the arrival of the Ariel and Bavaya at this port we have European files to the 18th ult., from which we have copied and publish elsewhere a de- 8cription of the second day's féte at Paris in honor of the army of Italy, Mr. Cobden’s speech at the Rochdale banquet, and some opinions respecting the recent amnesty of Napoleon. The steamship Asia sailed from this part yester- day for Liverpool, with sixty-one passengers and $102,450 in specie. The Sandy Hook telegraph re- ports the Asia as being off that point at sunset, with apparently something out of gear. By the astival of the steamship Karnak at this port yesterday we have advices from Nassau, N. P., to the 26th. They contain, however, nothing of general interest. Our dates from Turks Islands, by the steamer Karnak, are to the 6th of August. The Royal Standard says that a fair demand continues for salt, and owing to the small quantity on hand the price is firmer than it has been for some time past— Bay 8c., cash. With the exception of an occa- sional shower the weather is fine, and the pans are progressing very favorably. Latest advices from New York quote salt at 17}, four months; there is, however, a prospect of its advancing a little towards the fall of the year. At some of the out- ports in America small cargoes have brouglit better prices. Export duty $c. Details of news from Vera Cruz to the Lith of August are given in another column, and our Wash- ington correspondent furnishes some particulars to the same date. It was expected the Juarez government wonld goon be recognized by Great in f churen w-« ~ Beitate: The ae eons Ho dvabt be resliacd.- 1 Was reported that commissioners had been sent by Miramon to Vera Cruz to treat for peace, but the report was no doubt devoid of foundation. By tke arrival of the schooner A. C. Brenner we have interesting news from Hayti. The accounts from Port au Prince are to the 13th of August, Business continued dull, and during the week end- ing the 13th but five vessels arrived. The receipt, of coffee during the week amounted to 699 bags. At Jacmel, on the 9th, business was also dull. The prices of provisions and merchandise generally Were maintained, but the recovery of trade was very slow. There had been no arrivals of mer- chantimen. The English steamer La Plata, from St ‘Thomas, touched at Jacmel August 4, en route for Jamaica. Similar reports in regard to the dulness of trade are received from Aux Cayes and from Jeremie August 9, and from Cape Haytian and Gonaives August 10. The stock of provisions at Jeremie was almost exhausted on the Sth of August, when a small supply was received from the capital coastwise, The President of Hayt left the capital on the 9th of August, at three o'clock in the morning, to go to Leogane. It was said that he would return to Port au Prince before the Sunday following. President Geffrard had approved the notification of the Haytian tariff enacted by the Corps Legislative on the 20th of July last. We published yesterday a narrative of certain alleged fraudulent transactions in connection with the Monongahela Valley Bauk, and we publish iu to-day’s paper a communication from Mr. Stephen D. Dillaye which throws some additional light on the subject. As an indication of the activity of the fall trade, we may state that the rush of freight to the South is now greater than ever hefore known. Draymen are often compelled to wait twenty-four hours in a line leading to the Charleston and Savannah steam- ships, and merchants pay by the hour for such ser- vice. The amount paid for shipping a load of goods would almost pay the freight to destination by Adams’ Express. This company has room on all steamships out of New York for the Southern cities, which enables them to take goods for shipment up to the honr of sailing. One of the most successful efforts at rascality that was ever heard of was brought to light yes terday in this city. From the revelations, as pub- lished in another column, it appears that a sharper in Philadelphia advertised for a number of young ladies to go South to fill situations as teachers of music. Fifteen young women were accepted by the advertiser. They were to have remunerative employment in the families of wealthy Southern planters, and in every respect their future pros pects were of the most flattering description. It was simply stipulated by the advertiser that the ladies should defray in part their expenses to their respective destinations. On arriving in this city €n route for the South, the sharper took charge of the baggage of the ladies, collected from them "pbout one hundred and fifty dollars for their fare in the steamship, and while they were waiting patient Jy at the hotel for him to conduct them on board, he decamped with his plunder. The police are in hot pursuit of the swindler, The Commissioners of Emigration held their weekly meeting yesterday at Castle Garden. The _ President reported that the committee who were appoigted to confer with the Health Commission- era had an ipterview With that Board, and he ex. pecta they may appoint 4 committee of conference on the subject. Compussioner Jellinghaus asked if Mr. Kennedy Lud posted up the price of tickets on sailroad routes in the Garden, and, being answered NEW YORK HEKALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1859. in tive, expressed indignation that the re- | —_ the Board are not carried out, for he kwew emigrants were cheated every day in the Garden, and made to pay $7 50 for tickets to Pitts- burg, which cost only $6. Commissioner Low moved to appoint Mr. Jellinghaas a committee to | see the prices posted up, and the motion was car- | ried, notwithstanding that gentleman's declining the appointment and protesting his inability to effect the object of such @ committee. The number of emigrants arrived during the week was 1,278, mak- | ing those of the year so far 52,718. The balance ; of the commutation fand is now $22,149 62. ‘The cordage manufactory of L. Waterbury & Wm, Marsball, at Bushwick, L. 1., was totally destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The fire no doubt was caused bys ontaneous combustion. The loss of Property is estimated at between $90,000 and $100,000, sixty per cent of which is covered by in- gurance. About one hundred and fifty workmen are thrown out of employment by this conflagra- ton. The Supervisors gave another sparring exhibition yesterday afternoon, the stakes being the appro- priation for the Commissioners of Record, and the pugilists the friends and enemies of the item. The contest ended ag it began, without any decisive ad- vantage on either side. The majority and minority reports from the Committee on Annual Taxes on the tax levy were handed in and duly read, but every attempt to pass either proved abortive. The Board finally adjourned till next Tuesday at three o'clock, notwithstanding that the law imposes a fine of #250 and thirty days imprisonment on cach Supervisor in case the tax levy isnot settled before the Ist of September (this day). ‘The Bealth Commissioners adopted the report of their special committee yesterday adverse to pay- ing the bill of $24,000 charged against them by he Commissioners of Emigration for the rent, re- pairs, &c., of a building in Franklin street, occupied by the former Board for some time, on the ground that it is an unjust and iegal charge. They ap- pointed a Committee of Conference, at the request of the Emigration Commissioners, on the subject of employing a steamer in Quarantine. Dr. Gunn, the Health Officer of the port of New York, has ascertained from experience that his ar- rangements respecting the lightering and steve- doring at Quarantine does not prevent the men em- ployed in the business from mingling with the pub- tic after their work on board of infected vessels has temporarily ceased. He has, therefore, re- solved to throw the lightering and stevedoring open to all engaged in the trade, but will hereafter require bonds that the workmen shall not absent themselves from the places appointed or from the vessels on which they are employed without leave. In fact, the laborers and lighters are to be regular ly quarantined for the balance of the season except so far as may be absolutely necessary for the discharge of cargoes. Charies Edwards, Joseph White and Robert Dia- mond, arrested a few days ago charged with coin- ing spurious quarter dollar pieces, were yesterday brought by the United States Marshal before Mr. Commissioner Stilwell and duly committed for examination, The republicans of Wisconsin yesterday renomi- nated Alexander W. Randall for Governor. With continued light receipts for first class cattle, the market remains very firm at last week’s quota- tions; other kinds are dull. Milch cows are dull and unchanged. Veal calves are in moderate re- quest at our last week's prices; extras bring 64c. a 7c, Sheep and lambs firm for all kinds. Swine sold at 6jc. for prime corn fed, and at 5jc. a Ge. for other kinds. The receipts were 3,567 head beeves, 132 cows, 567 veals, 12,423 sheep and lambs, and 1,315 swine. ‘The sates of cotton yesterday were limited to some 280 % 300 bales. The market was heavy, and closed at lower rates. For quotations we refer to another column. Yesterday ended the cotton year. The books for the re- cord of the ew crop of 1850-60 open to-day. Under ‘he influence of favorable autumoal weather the crop ts expected to reach 4,000,000 bales, Should it average the price obtained of the past year’s crop the value would equal the large sum of $200,000,000, That the consump- tive capanity of the world (should general peace continus) ie able to absorb four million bales. ABGLAY WEE" whisiher ai‘ somo lower range of figures or not will remain to be eetermined We cannot kuow definitely what the crop of 1868-69 has amounted to until time is allowed to bear from Soutbern ports, and Joarn the amount of their receipts and exports to this date. The general impression is that it will not, inciuding stock on hand September, 1858, be Jess than 3,750,000 bales. The stock was taken im this market yesterday, and though not fally completed at a iste hour in the afternoon, it was understood to have embraced between 36,000 and 37,000 bales. At latest advices the receipta at the ports had reached 8,710,- 000 Dales, against 8,492,000 do. in 1856, The exports were 2,999,000 bales, against 2,945,000 do. in 1856. The stock on hand amounted to 104,000 bales, against 56,000 do, in 1866 and 125,000 do. in 1855. Messrs. Wright & Co., in their circuler for the Asia of yesterday, alluded to complaints trom Europe regarding the careless manner in which » good deal of American cotton is cleaned and Packed, it being often badly mixed with sand, dirt and other trashy materials. They urge a reform for the fu ture. Flour was heavy, and closed at a decline of 5c. to 0c, per bb}. for many descriptions, chiefly, however, for common and medium grades of State and Western. ‘Wheat was lees active and dull for common, and steady for prime Dew milling lots. Corn was dull and lower. Pork was more active and firmer, with sales of moss at $14.90 a $16123¢, and .prime at $10 50 a $10 75, while sales of mess for future delivery were made at $14 50. Sogars were in fair demand, witd sales of about 1,500 bbds. and 106 boxes at prices given in another place. The stock of bhds, amounted to 73,253, against 39,650 at tbe same time last year, Coflee was quiet. The stock embraced about 69,837 bags Rio and 36,000 do, Java, and ‘total of ail kings of 84,332 bags and 39,919 mats of Java. Freight engagementa were roderate, and rates were quite steady, but without change of moment in quo. tations. Presidential Aspirants on the Stump—The Wreck of Politics and the Strivings of the Demagogues. We give in another column the sayings of tbore of tbe Presidential aspirants who are on the stump endeavoring to catch the breath of popular opinion to waft them towards the White Bouse. One of theese, the speech of ex-Governor Sey- mour, of New York, delivered at St. Paul, Mia- nesota, is a pretty little speech enough, but there is nothing in it. Trite subjects, that all the world knows, are treated in a common-place way; bat there is a want of real breadth and depth in the views of Governor Seymour, show- ing that although he wishes to atand on the plat- form of a national man, he is far from being up to the national standard. Another is the speech of Governor Chase, at Sandusky, Ohio, in which he runs over the gamut of the anti-slavery trings in the old way, from Dred Scott up to he re-opening of the slave trade. The third is a *ynopsis of the speech delivered by Jefferson Davis before the State Convention of Mississippi. Mr. Davis belongs to that clase of politicians who aim to be consider as statesmen on sec tional and local grounds, and who do not com- prehend that when the affairs of the whole country are in question a higher view ot the ational interests is necessary than that taken by the Jackson Mississippian. He ranks in the same category with Seqard Wise, Douglas, Hunter, and all ot taat class of second rate politicians who believe that the whole science of stateamaaship lies in the art of pleasing Buncombe. The sectional demagognes of the Soutb, of whom Mr. Davis is a type and a mouit bave done more injary to the South thua ut republican abolidoniste pat | They opposed the admission of Califory! + eage“ber ane were cot only defeated, but their defeat wa ratified by their own constituencies In 1850 they fonght the compromise measures of Mr, Clay, and were agein defeated, their action producing a thorough stirring up of the conserva. tive common sense elements in the South egainst them. In 1852 poor Pierce formed his Cabinet, taking foto it Mr. Davis aud Mc. Mar. cy—the opposing poles of the democratic party. Against the wish of the lutter, Doaglas avd Davi, contrived the Kansas Nebraska folly, and bullied poor Pierce into endorsing it. The first effect of this measure was the great {njury that accrued to the South by its abrogation of the Missouri compromise line, which was a barrier for South- ern institutions, The South never bes and never can gain apytbing by the destruction of that compromise, while it opens it to incessant at- tack from tbe North. ‘The vecond effect of the Davis and Douglas scheme was the opening of the political Pan- dora’s box, out of which have issued all the sec- tional issues that have agiiated the country. Kansas came from it, squatter sovereignty came from it, tbe re-opening of the African slave trade came from it, Seward’s “irrepressible conflict” came from it, and many more equally disastrous thinge will yet come out of it But the good sense of the people in the South will react upon these ecctional demagogues as it has reacted be- fore. The recent elections demonstrate that fact. In Kentucky they have already caused the election of three opposition candidates; in North Carolina and Tennessee similar results have occurred; while in Texas, Houston, who a few moptbs since was enpposed to be shelved as & politician, by appealing to the national con- servatiem and the good sense of the people, and taking his stand on the national platform of Mr. Buchapan’s administration, has suddenly come forward as one of the most prominent and strongest candidates tor the Presidency. These upmistakegble indications of the rally- ing of the good eense and conservative interests of the South against the sectional demagogues forebodes their complete overtbrow. There is now no great issue before the people, but they cannot be led off into the destructive whirlpool of sectional faction. The great ships of party are wrecked, and each politician is endeavoring to save himself in some small craft, or ou some little raf; which he bas constructed out of the fragments. Thus, Seward has his cockle-boat of “an irrepressible conflict,” Jefferson Davis has got into a little slave-trading yawl, and Douglas is on the crazy raft of “squatter sovereignty.” They ere all of them paddling about on the ocean of politics, without compass or quadrant, and it is evideat to every man of common sense that none of them will ever reach the shore. ‘The Monster Steamer Great Eastern Coming to New York. Our readers will remember that our London correspondent mentioned in a recent letter that Mr. Lever, the projector of the Galway line of steamers, had made the handsome offer of $100,- 000 to the Great Eastern Company for the privi- lege of running that marine monster on her first trip from Galway to America. We are now in possession of information, through a private de- spatch received by the Jason, to the effect that she ill sail from Galway on the 15th of this month, and that her destination will be New York and not Portland. The Great Eastern will touch at St. Jobns, leaving there a mail, her despatches for the press, and such passengers as may be boand there, and will proceed directly to this port, where she may be expected to arrive about the 24th inst., or thereabouts. The advent of this splendid ship in our waters tinal! atentog will produce the rete previous event ever gave rise to in this country. People will flock from all quarters of the Union and from Canada to behold her, and should she be thrown open to visitera, as she doubtless will be, and a small charge be made for admission—say twenty-five cents—the enterprising company who have chartered her may realize one-half the sum they paid for the tight to start her from Galway. It is probable that the Great Eastern will be despatched with a light cargo, and only coal enough for the return voyage, 80 as to enable her to enter our harbor by the Narrows, which she can easily do, and by lying off until high water, she can come up to her anchorage off the Battery. As to the number of passengers she may bring it is impossible now to speak, though it is not unlikely that our Loodon cerrespondent’s estimate of two or three thousand may be about the mark. Tt is asource of some pride to the whole country that the first voyage of this great triumph of ma- rine architecture should be made to an American port, and it is an excellent indication of the wisdom aud foresight of Mr. Lever that he has selected New York, thus recognizing it as the first port im importance on this continent, and the fittest to receive the visit of this monster of the deep, and he is entitled to the thanks of our citizens for the act, Indeed, Mr. Lever’s entire course in connection with traiitatlantic steam navigation in the conduct of the Galway line has been marked with the greatest shrewd- ness and good management, and in no reepect, perhaps, more than in the selection of the agents of that line here, “The American Express Company” of Wells, Butterfield & Co., to whom the Great Eastern will be consigned. The American Express Company, who are also the agents of the California overland route, have their agents and connections in every part of the eountry, to the remotest Western settle- ments and the far South, through whom passages can be secured on the Galway steamers, and their facilities generally for the conduct of the express business eminently qualify them to carry out the management of a line of transatlantic steamers. The Galway line, both as regards the excellence of the vessels employed, the speed acquired, and the frequent anticipation of news they have ef- fected, may be considered a great success, and that success is doubtless due to the energy of the sgente and the enterprise of Mr. Lever. The Great Eastern will draw thousands to the Metropolis. New York will doubtless be flooded with visiters as soon as it is known that she is bere, and the already crowded hotels will bardly be able to accommo- date a tenth part of them, and every kind of lodging will be pressed into service for the ooca- sion. All kinds of business will receive a stimu- lus from the un»sual invasion of our country friends, and the storekeepers, hotel and boarding- house keepers, as well as the theatres, Opera and other places of amusement, will be Ticher by a few thousands for the visit of the Great Hastern. There will no doubt be great eagerness mant- fested to make a retarn trip in this marine curi- Ority, aod we should not wonder if the agency here were to commence at once to dispore of tickets at all points throughout the country for 4p excursion to London, via Galway, in the giant steamship of the Galway line, Tue Mayoratty—Fennanpo Woop 1N THE Frewp—When the Holy Alliance had com fortably locwfed Napoleon Bonaparte oa tho Teland of Etha they considered him ont of the way; but ope fine morning, very early in the spring, the report of his return to France, “upon his own book,” startled the Allied Pow- ere, and brought about a sudden change in the programme upen which they were engaged. So pow, we apprehend, has the following authorite- tive proclamation, through the Daily News, broken in upon the calculations of Tammany Hall concerning Feraando Wood and the Mayoralty. Says the News;— ‘It may relieve all concerned of some anxiety upon the subject to have it authoritatively stated that Mr TWood, ¥, he Vives, will be the democratic candidate for Mayor nem ’, and to add thut there is ee pemarenist, other psvtion—city, State or watioal— him to swerve from this purpose. feat his election are thus notifed in time, thet they may make a/| the necessary arrangements and combinations. We give the cream of this extract in italics, as we find it, #0 that the Tammany eachems may be assured of the earnestness and emphasis of this pronunciamiento, Mr. Wood is in the field as an independent demooratic stump candidate for Mayor. If Tammany Hall shall resolve to sup- port him, so be it; but if the Wigwam shall undertake to set up another candidate, the elec- tion last year of Robert T. Hawe, as Comptrol- ler, is etrikingly suggestive of the inevitable result. If this is not pinning down the eachems, sagamores and whiskey skins of Tammany to the exact question of yea or nay, we are some- what mistaken in our estimate of the aforesaid manifesto, But it must not be understood from this move- ment of the ex-Mayor that he contemplates any factious opposition to the democratic cause in our November State election. On the contrary, we are informed that itis his purpose to stamp the State for the democratic State ticket, and fur the defeat of the republicans as the party repre- senting the treasonable abolition platform of W- H. Seward. Our December municipal election will be another affair, in which Mr. Wood, as be pretty plainly intimates, will square up his ua- settled accounts with the brethren of Tammany Ha)). He may have taken this idea from the Charleston Convention movements of Wise and Douglas; but, at all events, our readers, in this cclaration of the ex-Mayor to stand before the people upon his own merits, will discover the power which one resolute man may exercise against the oldest electioneering machine on the continent. Tue Woway’s Ricuts Movement—Portti- cians IN Perricoats—Very little has been heard of late of that curions social excrescence denominated the woman’s rights party. Lucy Stone had let her hair grow, takex a husband, and put on crinoliue. The Bev. Miss Antoinette Brown had also changed her name, tacking on to her maiden patronymic the addition of Black well, and taking to herself a husband of that name. Mrs, Abby Kelly Foster had found the management of her man Stephen as much as ehe could attend to. Mrs. Brauch had gone a little too far ahead in her advocacy of woman’s rights, and considerable odium had been brought on the movement by the ‘free love doctrines and prac- tices which came to be dovetailed into it; and so it came to pass that people had begun to forget all about woman’s rights, or to suppoee, at least, that the subject had passed into the domain of dead and gone curiosities, It appears, however, that there is still some vitality left in the curious thing; for we sce that there waa a woman’s rights convention held at Seratoge a week ur 80 age, at which Mies Susan B. Anthony and the Rev. Antoinette represented eet tt Af chats amn cow while the pro SN side, Judge Culver, of Brook: lyn, and one of the Lebanon Shakers, did some talking in support of the movement. How the ladies could tolerate the presence of one of the Society of Shakers, whose principles would de- prive them of the enjoyment of the dearest of aly their rights, is a slight inconsisteucy which we leave to themselves to reconcile. The platform of principles adopted by the Convention combines some general moral reflec- tions with the one declaratory resolve that their great work was to discuss the right of woman to vote and to be voted for. It will take a great deal of discussion, we imagine, to convince eny man that the position of his wife, or sister, or daughter, is to be improved by bringing her into contact with political rowdies on the Five Pointa, Woman’s empire is in the family circle, and so long as she rules there worthily and efficiently, she exerts an influence greater than legislative or Political assemblies can ever do. Itis trom the cultivation of the domestic virtwes that true hap- piness and true greatness spring. The greatest evil that enlightened strangers notice in our na- tional habits is, that they do not sufficiently for- ter a love of home and of domestic pursuits aud amusements. To allow our wives and sisters “to vote and to be voted for” would be a bad way of remedying that evil. Politics don’t improve men, and we can’t afford to let the women be spoiled by them aleo. If the would-be reform- ers in breeches and petticoats, who met at Sara- toga last week, caunot suggest anything better than to unsex women by making them politicians, they had better give up their trade of reformers and take to their ordinary occupations, The woman’s rights movement is about played out ca taaed Stone has turned to rocking the cradle. —____. Mosc ar Newronr.—The visitors at Newport have been favored this soason with several agreeable concerts, of which two bave been given by M’lle.
