BXAMINATION OF THE ATLANTIC CABLE. ‘War Imminent Between Spain and Morocco, Fatal Shipwreck in the Turkish ‘Waters. Meavy Mercantile Failure in Russia and Report- ed Suicide of the Bankrnpt. STATE OF THE MARKETS, &o., &e., 0. ‘The steamship America, Capt. Moodie, which left Liv- @rpool at three o'clock P. M. of Oct. 22, arrived at Halifax at six P. M of Nov. 3. ‘The America left Halifax at ten P.M. on Thursday for Boston, where she will be due this morning. ‘She passed Oct. 23, at eight P. M., off the Old Head of Kinsale, the steamship Asia, from New York for Liver- pool. e ‘The news by the America is not of a very important eharacter. ‘The departure of the Great Enstern for America had ‘been postponed sine dic, and would probably not take Place this year. ‘The details of the peace treaty of Zurich show it to be Duta mere amplification of the Villafranca agreement. By it the rights of the Grand Dukes are reserved. Spain is dissatisfied with the terms offered by Morocco, ‘and war between those Powers is considered imminent. ‘The Sardinian government had issued a decree fora Joan of one hundred million francs. ‘The steamship Vanderbilt, from New York Oct. 8, ar- tved at Southampton on the evening of the 19th. ‘The steamship City of Baltimore, from Now York Ost. 8, arrived at Queenstown at four A, M. of the 20th, and at Liverpool early on the morning of the 2ist. ‘The steamship North American, from Quebec Oct. 8, reached Liverpool at five P.

Werms of the Zurich Peace Treaty—Aus- tria Cedes Lombardy to France, but Retains Mantua and Peschicra—A Heavy Debt Taken by Piedmont—The Italfan Confederation Again—Chances of a Congress and More Complica. ww tons—Lord Palmerston Looks on Na- peleon’s Position as a Dangerous Onc— England Not Likely to Enter the Con- gress—Sudden Iliness of Count Collo- redo, the Austrian Convoy at Zurich— Dan: of Civil War—Military Move- ments and Popular Excitement, é&c. A Zurich despatch of the 18th says:—The principal points of the treaty of peace between France and Austria, figned by the Plenipotentiaries, but not yet ratified by the two governments, are as follows:— 1. Austria gives up Lombardy, except Mantua and Pashiera, and as far as the frontier line fixed by special commission, to France, who transfers it to Piedmont. 2. Pensions acquired in Lombard¥ are to be paid by the new government. ; ‘ 3. Piedmont is to pay Austria 40,000,000 florins, and be responsible for three-fifths of the debt of Monte Lombard ‘Venetia, making the debt in all transferred to Sardinia 250,000,000 francs. 4. The two contracting Powers will unite their efforts im order that reform in theadminis should be carried out by the Pope. §. Phe rights of the Dukes of Tuscany, Modena and Par- Waa are expressly reserved to the two Emperors, who will as- sist with all their power in the formation of a confedera- tion of all the States of Raly. 6. Venetia, under Austrian rule, is to form part of the confederation. 7. Ratifications will be exchanged at Zurich within fifteen days. It will be seen from the above that the treaty is merely ‘an amplification of the Villafranca agreement. ‘The Paris Pays intimates, of its own knowledge, that in 3 Congress accepted in principle by the English govern- ment, the only Powers to be represented, besides the great ones, will be Piedmont, and the Pope and Naples under certain eventualities. ‘The admission of Spain might bo national, but Sweden ‘and Portugal have no claims. The Independance Belge says, that out of compliment to Napoleon, Austria proposed that the Congress should sit fm Paris; but this was declined, and the chances favored Brussels. ‘The policy of England in taking part in the Congress ‘was being canvassed by the press, and generally the ar- guments were against it. The London 7¥mes and London Herald aro both averse to England joining any European ‘Congress on Italian affairs. ‘tho London Post, Lord Palmerston’s organ, asserts that # were an idle trifling with the influence of England and the hopes of Italy to expect any English statesman at all worthy of the name would hazard his own reputation and ‘the national honor entrusted to his care by entering a Congress of which the basis may be im the execution of the Zurich treaty. ‘The same journal, in another editorial, regards the Malian complications as wery serious, and the position of Napoleon as extremely embarrassing. Ho has undertaken the special protection of the Papal government and also f Italian liberty, while Papal power and Italian liberty ‘are in open warfare, It is almost certain that Romagna Will be attacked by the Papal troops. It is also certain that at the first menace of armed intervention in the Duchies, the troops of Garibaldi will sweep before them every vestige of Papal rule. Under these circumstances the intervention of Austria will be anticipated. What Part would France then play, and what extension would ‘the Roman question thomassume? The Post concludes by saying that English statesmen will make efforts to avort the dangers which threaten Europe. A Zarich despateh of the 2ist announces that Count Golloredo was that morning attacked with apoplexy. Four physicians were attending him, but there were little hopes of his recovery. ‘Marshal Vaillant is reported to havo written to Napoleon suggesting the occupation of the Duchies by French troops, to prevent civil war breaking out. ‘The Neapolitan army on the Roman frontier was in- ereasing. Js was rumoured that troops had landed at Ancona. Considerable excitement prevailed in Piedmont on ac- count of the conditions of the Zurich treaty, ‘The King of Sardinia, in receiving » deputation from the municipality of Genoa, reiterated his intention to defend the cause of Ralian independence to the utmost of his power, Hy ex- pressed the hope that the wishes of Italy would be granted. ‘The Paris correspondent ef the London Herald says that the object of the Sardinian Minister for Foreign ar fairs visiting ‘Paris is to obtain the Emperor's consent, pendigg the Congress, to the occupation of Central Ttaly ‘ MORNING EDITION—SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1859. by Piedmontene troops, and the appointment of Prince Bitoeis Orntral shares... Corignane as Regent of the Duchies and Legations. The Commouna! Council of Milan bad voted 100,000 francs towards Garibaldi’s subscription for the purchase of muskets, ‘1s was reported at Turin that in consequence of Neapoli- tan war ships having been signalled in a hostile attitude off the coast of Romagna, a Piedmontese squadron had been ordered round into the Adriatic. It is asserted that there has been a revolutionary move- ment in Palermo, but that it was suppressed. One story says that one hundred and fifty rebels were killed, but it lacks confirmation. Justice continued to be energetically carried out in Parma. New arrests bad taken place. The municipality had determined on the destruction ef the column on which the head of Anviti was placed. ‘Te was expected that the effective strength of the new Sardinian army will be 100,000, exclusive of the rifle corps and military marine. In addition there will be through- out the kingdom about 600,000 National Guards. Financial aflairs in Naples are represented as critical, and a loan of £6,000,000 was spoken of. A despatch from Turin, of 2lat ult., says:—The oficial Piedmontese Gasette publishes a decree authorizing tie Finance Minie- ‘er to contract @ Joan of one million francs by means of the alienation of the renteson the public debt to that amount. Count Rogier, Minister of Belgium, has arrived at ‘Torin. GREAT BRITAIN. THE GREAT RASTERN-—HER DEPARTURE INDEFINITELY POSTPONED, The directors of the Great Eastern held a meeting on Doard, on the 19th, and it is authoritatively announced that the departure of the vessel has been postponed sine die, and orders given that al) passage money receivea be returned. No time will be fixed for the transatlantic voyage until good progress has been mado in fitting out the ship in thorough sea-going oom. Pleteness, and according to some authorities there is no likelihood of the voyage being made before next spring. The ship would remain at Holyhead about ten days longer, and then go to Southampton tocompleta her fittings, after which a trip to Lisbon m spoken of. It is stated that in her present condition the directors will not accept the ship from Mr. Scott Russell. ‘The directors of the London and Northwestern Rallway Company gave a grand banquet at Holyhead to the direc- tore of the Great Ship Company onthe 19th. The Marquis of Chandos presided, and among the guests were Mr. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer; Sir John Paking- ton, and many influential men in commerce and politics. ‘The speeches were all hopeful of the success of the great ship. Mr. Mclver, in the course of his remarks, ro- iterated the statement that the Cunard company aro ‘building a steamer considerably larger than the Persia, ‘ut not 20 large as the Great Eastern. Prince Napoleon, after minutely inspecting the Great Eastern at Holyhead, paid a fying visit to Liverpool and Manchester, and then left in his steamer for parts un- known. THE FUNERAL OF STEPHENSON, THE ENGINEER. ‘The funeral of Robert Stephenson took place at West- minster Abbey on the 2ist, in the presence of a great concourse of people, and with every demonstration of respect. The Abbey was crowded, and the at- tendance included the most distinguished men of all rank and professions. Mr. Stephenson bequeathed £25,000 to public institutions, At Newcastle, Sunderland, Shields and other towns in that locality, business was suspended during @ portion of the day of the funeral, and many demonstrations of respect took place. THE ATLANTIO CABLE. ‘Ihe Traleo Mhwontale aaya that Moscre. Doardmeve and Robinson, electricians, vised Valencia this week and set on foot a series of experiments on the Atlantic cable. En- couragement as to the success of the undertaking, both as regards the resuscitation of the old and the laying of the new cable, was in the ascendant. These geutlemen found room in the state of the cable to disseminate new en- couragement to its friends. , FRANCE, Itis reported that the Emperor refused to grantan audience to a deputation from Bologna, but received those from the Duchies. The Sardinian Minister of Foreign Affairs had left Paris for London, The Paris correspondent of the London Herald con- tinues to point out the immense naval armaments in progress, particularly at Toulon, where no less than twenty-two large ships are being constructed. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Times says he is still informed that France bas claimed her war expenses from Sardinia, and the Sardinian Envoy’s mission to Paris is supposed to have reference to the question of the debt as well as the Duchies. ‘The projected Chinese expedition had been discussed in the Council of Ministers. It was proposed to despatch 18,000 men, but nothing definite was arrived at. The troops would not leave before the end of the year. Accounts from Cochin China say that the French forces were 80 worn out by fatigue and disease that they were preparing to abandon Tourain and return to China. The only point which the Admiral will not abandon is Saigon, where extensive fortifications have been raised, and a strong garrison will be left. ‘The Bourse was dull and declining. The Rentes closed heavy on the 21st at 69f. 45c. SPAIN. ‘The Correspondencia Autografe announces that in con- sequence of unsatisfactory declarations made by the Em- peror of Morocco, the Council of Ministers has resolved to have recourse to arms. The same journal approves the action of the government in ordering the Spanish consul to leave Tangiers. A despatch from Madrid, of the 20th ult., says the re- ply of Moroceo to the guarantees demanded by Spain, not being satisfactory, war seems imminent. A council of Ministers, presided over by the Queen, has been con- voked. ‘The Spanish bishops, in imitation of the French, had commenced publishing pastoral letters in defence of the temporal power of the Pope. ‘The Spanish funds declined to-day more than1 per cent, AUSTRIA. It was expected that the Emperor of Austria would have an interview with the Emperor of Russia at Breslau, on the 28d of October. Russia. ‘Messrs.

He was to be succeeded by Mehemot Kupaaile. Fuad Pacha, it ‘was also expected, would be dismissed. Two of the con- spirators had died at Kulely. A vessel, with Circassian emigants on board, had been wrecked, Two hundred and three lives were lost, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MONEY MARKET. ‘The London money market was slighty more stringent, but the supply was abundant. The bullion in the Bank o England had decreased since the last weekly return £339,000.

Political Intelligence. Apvick To Cunmruan Vorsrs.—The Hvangelist of this week contains the following good advice to the Christian voters of this city:— Next week Tuesday is the day for our Stato election, when it becomes all Citizens, and especially all Chris- tian men, to attend faithfully to the business of voting, as hich they owe to their country. a duty wi If good men stay away from the polls, they leave the city and Stato rovernments in the ds of the worst class of our popu- jation, by whom generally the lowest and most unscrupu- lous politicians are elevated to power. We care nothing for politics, considered merely as a strife of parties; but we care a great deal for it as involving the good govern- ment, the good order and peace and moral interests of our beloved country. We mean in voting to pick out the best men we can find on either ticket, and vote for them, no ‘matter to what party they belong, and we advise Christian people of this city and State to do the same. If this course were generally adopted politicians would bo afraid to thrust upon us such disgraceful nominations as have sometimes been offered, fearing the silent verdict of the ballot box. ‘Tus Democracy oF Kuntucky.—The Democratic Conven- tion of Hardin county, Kentucky, last week adopted the following resolutions:-— Resolved, That we cordially endorse the administration of James Buchanan, the President of the United States, ‘ag being eminently wise, patriotic and conservative. Resolved, ‘That we regard the recent bloody insurrec- tion at Harper’s Ferry as the first gun of the ‘4 reesi- dle conflict” about to be inaugurated by Seward, Gid- dings, Gerrit Smith, and the abolition party generally, and that we exhort the great national democratic party to union, harmony and general effective coalition of all their gg) Preparatory to the great Presidential contest of A Mnosrsr’s Prepicrion.—Rey.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. ‘The steamer Champion was raised yesterday morning, and towed to this city by two steam tugs—to the Green- point marine railway. Search will at once be made for the bodies of the missing passengers. We publish the following additional particular from the New Haven Pal- ladium of November 3:— ‘The steamer Champion, of thie city, which has been run for a long time at'an cxcursion ‘beck froun, Unis city boring places, was put upou the route from this city to New York, to take the place of the Traveller, disabled on Monday night by a collision.

The 2 peller took the passengers and crew w New York, wi < arrived on Wednesday noon. fe vieited the steamboat office last evening, and ga- thered the following additional particulars of the unfortu- ies Occurrence:— ris ‘Steamboat was about eight miles this side of Sand’s Point, when she was struck grey on the larboard for pra propeller Albatross, from Providence, and to her hurricane deck in about fiften minutes from the "oe of the collision. In this state ahe was towed nea: —_—the Tong Isiand shore by the propeller, which Jande iue crew and passengers on the idland, She now lies with the dere of her ‘wheelbooses just out of water. Mr. George Steele was lodged in the cabin. He reached the deck withthe other passengers, but returned below for some perpeee, and was undoubtedly drowned, as he ‘has not since been seen. Mr. Steele went down to New York on Monday night last, Ho had a large business in coffee, tea and spices, both in this city and Hartford. We lerstaud that his life was insured for $10,000. A fireman named Martin Jackson, an American, and unmarried, died at his It ia vory probable that he ‘was scalded to death. two are the only lives lost, and they are the frst lives ever lost on the tine. There wasa fair freight and few passengers. Some horges and mules belonging to Mr. EC.

One of them in its agony actually burst into the ladies’ cabin, When a deck hand attempted to push it out, the poor creature’s skin came off in his hand. ‘The officers on the boat were the same as on the Tra G, Bowns; clerk, William Denslow; No biame attaches to any of the and the accident to the Traveller on the preceding night, are the first that have occurred under the mapagement of the company for years, and as we stated above, itis the first ume in the history of the line that life bas been Jost. The management of all the boats owned by the company has always been most excellent, and it would seem in both these instances, that the blame rested entirely with the boats making the collision In ‘both instances they came head on, and struck the steamer full amidships. STATEMENT OF ME. GEORGE R. HOTCHKISS, PASSENGER, OF NEW HAVEN. I waited at Peck slip, New York, on Tuesday evening last, from eleven o’clock until one A. M. on Wednesday morning, when the Champion arrived at her dock. J went aboard immediately, and went to bed in the acter cabin, there being no staverooms on the boat. I suppose she left, her dock at about three o’clock, being engaged some two hours in unloading and taking in freight. 1 was awaken- ed by a loud crash; jumped up and rushed on deck. On ing the promenade deck Isaw that we were foul of 8 propeller aud werk sinking rapidly, while the propeller kept up. She had struck us on spe port side, just forward of the ameke stack, remaining imbelded in thie side of the Champion until aftef the passengers had gone ab: of her from the promenade deck of the steamboat, when she reversed her engines and backed out. By this time the steamboat had gunk to her promenade deck. The propel- ler is a large boat—one hundred tone burden, I should say—being about twice the size of the Champion, and would have cut us down, striking us as she did, if the Champion bad been an iron boat. Ithink she must have re- xine ber engines before she struck us,or she would bave gone clear through us and cut us in two. The morning was perfectly clear and quite light for the hour. Tlooked at my watch as I reached the deck and saw that it was just five o’clock. There was ne fog, and I saw no possible excuse for the propelter’s running inte us. Ithink she was endea jon sank to her promenade deck in a very few miautes. tain Bowns requested the captain of the propeller to tow the boatashore, a distance of some two miles. At this moment the Groton, of the Glen Cove line, and the consort of the came up, when the twe boats towed us to the share, till the Champion grounded at high tude in harbor. The passengers were then transferred tothe Croton, which conveyed them to New York. Too much cannot be said of the kindness of the captain of this boat, who did all in his pewer to render ‘those he took trom tho wreck of Champion as comfortable as possible. He would take no pay from any of us, aud was very active in doing what he could ior us. We reached New York at about eleven o’clock Wednesday forenoon. After J had reached the main deck of the Champion, when I was first aroused by the crash of the collision, [ undertook to return below, when I encountered a volume of hot steam, rushing from the boiler, which had been stove in by the collision, and was driven back. I understand that Mr. Steele, of this city, had been on deck and returned below, and have no doubt that he was scalded and suffocated by the steam. Besides Mr. Steele and Jackson, the fireman, I underetood that another man, whose name { did notlearn, ‘was also lost. There was a number of horses and mutes ‘on the lower deck, aii of which must have been scalded to death. There were some twenty-five or thirty passengers on board, with a light freight. Several of the passengers were ladies, and all behaved with the utmost coolness. Mr. Charles W. Townly, a cutter, who was on board with his family, and who lost all his property by the ca- tastrophe, is among the most intelligent and observing Witkesses of the aflair. He returned to New York this morning. His account is in substance as follows:— MR. TOWNLEY’S STATEMENT. Mr. Townley came from New York about a month ago, and entered the employ of Messrs. Punderford, and find: ing @ permanent situation, determined to remove his fami- ly here. He went to New York for that purpose on Fri- day last, and after packing up all his furniture, household goods and clothing, finally got on board the Champion on Tuesday night. The family consisted of himself aud wife and two children, and his wife’s mother, a lady far ad- ‘vanced in years. The ladies and the younger child occu- pied the ladies’ cabin, and Mr. Townley and his gon, a lad of sixteen, took berths in the gentlemen’s cabin The lad went to skep, but Mr. Townley, fortunately for himself and family, did not. As he walked about the be had astrange presentiment that something would happen, that he had better not go to sleep that night, and this feeling was so strong that he never took off his clothes, but continued roving about until the collision oc- curred. He even went through the cabin and counted the passengers, and states that there were thirteen males in the berths in the gentlemen’s cabia. About five o’clock on Wednesday morning be was standing by the engine room and listening to the engineer, who was instructing a fireman how to manage the engine. He had just stepped back into the cabin, and taken a chair, when he heard the concussion and found the steam rushing through the vessel. His presentiment ‘was strongly aroused—he knew that something had hap- pened, and going to the berth and finding his son in a sound sleep, he took him out bodily and carried him up on deck without waking him. ‘The lad,did not wake up until he was safe on the upper deck, The water filled the cabin so quickly that Mr. Townley is confident that had he stopped to wake the boy up he would have beon drowned. He says be was surprised that the noise of the collision was 80 slight—he could liken it to nothing but striking a dull axe into s rotten log. Had he been asleep it probably would not have waked him. On reaching the deck he went at once tothe ladies’ cabin. He wassurprised to find no confusion or excitement on board; he heard only one scream from the females, and that was from the cbambermaid, and he met the ladies coming out ofthe cabin deliberately and in perfect order, as if under the direction of amarshal. They walked deliberately out, and from the steamer they went directly on board the propeller, which still stuck to the Champion. His wife’s mother, the old lady already mentioned, was the last person to leave the boat, he thinks. The Champion filled almost instantly, and within fifteen minutes she was under water. After getting safely on the propeller the passengers began to compare notes, and found that several were missing. The passengers were finally transferred from tho Albatross to fhe Croton and taken to New York. WILLIAM BROPRY’S STATEMENT. William Brophy, fireman aboard the boat, informs us that Martin Jackson, the fireman who was lost, was blown. entirely to pieces by the explosion caused by the rushing of ‘water into the furnaces. Mr. Steele was urged by some of the boat hands to go upon the propeller, but refused, saying he had left some money and his watch below. He went after them and never returned. The boat was sinking at the time with ‘eat «rapidity.

AN ABOLITIONIST PAPER SHOWS HIM UP AS A COLD: BLOODED ASSASSIN—CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT & LEAGUE OF BLOOD AND ABOUT THE HARPER'S FERRY CONSPIRACY. {From the Lawrence a Herald of Freedom, t. 29, ‘The first thing the people of Kansas heard of old Joh Brown was in the summer of 1855. A meeting of ultra abolitionists was held at Cazenovia, N. Y., if we recollect: rightly. While in session Brown, who is a native of Bssex. county, N. Y., Appeared in that convention, and made & very fiery speech, during which he said he had four sont in Kansas, and he had three others who were desirous of going there, to aid in fighting the battles of freedom. Ha could not consent to go unless he could go armed, and ha ould like to arm all his sons, but was not able to do 80. Funds were contributed on the spot, principally by Gerrié Smith. ‘The four sons had located on Pottawaamie creek, im Lykins county, and in the fall of 1855 were joined by tha father and other brothers. When the Wakarusa war wad pending the old man and four sons arrived in Lawrence; the balance he reported gick. As they drove up in frou of the Free State Hotel, they were all standing in a small lumber wagon. To each of their persons was strapped a short heavy broadsword. Each was supplied with = goodly number of firearms and navy revolvers, and poles were standing endwise around the wagon box with fixed bayonets pointing upwards. They looked really for- minable, and were receivedwith greatéclat. Asmall mility Ty company was organized at once, and the command was given to Old Brown. From that moment he commenced fomenting difficulties in camp, disregarding the coumandal of superior officers and trying to induce the men to ga down to Franklin and make sn attack upon the pro-slavery" forces encamped there. The Committee of Public Safety were called upon several times to head off his wild adven- ture, as the people of Lawrence had planted themselvest on the Jaw, Claiming that they had not been guilty of ite infraction, and that no armed body of men sould enter the town for any purpose whatever, and that they would not go out of town to attack any such body. Peace wag bees and old ao ee ip en the news of the threatened of Lawrenca reached John Brown, Jr., who was a Me of the To- peka Legislature, he organized a company of about six! men and marched towards Lawrence. Arriving at Pal- myra, he learned of the sacking of the town and the post. tion of the people. He reconnoitered for a time im the vi- wards i cinity, but finally marched back to wwatomic. The night before reaching that place, whem only a few miles away, they the night. | Old John Brown, whe, we believes was with the party, singled out, with himself, seven men. These he marched to a point eight miles above the mouth: of Pottawatomie creek, and called from their beds at their several residences, at the hour of midnight on the 24th of May, 1886 Alien Wilkinson, William Sherman, Williang P. Doyle, William Doyle and Drury Doyle. All were foun the next morning by the roadside or in the nighway, some with a gash in their heads and sides and their throat cut; others with their skulls split open in two places, with: holes in their breasts and hands cat off; and others ha® holes through their breasts, with their fingers cut of. Na man in Kansas has to deny that old John Browne led that murderous foray, which massacred thosemen. Up: to that period not a hair of old John Brown’s head, or thaa of any of his sons, had injured by the pro-slavery It was not until the 30th of August, three monthe after the Pottawatomie magsacre, thet the. attack was made om Ossawatomie by the prosiavery forces, and Fredericle Brown, a gon of old John, was killed. ‘The truth of history requires this statement.
