N.F., at a late boar on Wednesday mght. Advices from Calcatta to Oct.8, and Hong Kong ‘to Sept. 28, had reached Englané. Mr. Ward, the American Minister to China, had gone to Japan. The ratification of the American treaty bad produced no alteration in commercial sfiairs in China. Trouble between Japan and Russia was apprehended, on account of the murder of three Russian seamen by the Japa- nese. A large Russian naval force was at Jeddo. Preparations for the war with China still continue in Great Britain. Two war steamers and four gun- boats had Jeft on that service, Italian affuirs are etill unsettled. The King of Sardinia has refused perma ssion to Carignan to ac- cept the regency of Central Italy, which had been tendered him by Tuscany and other central States. ‘The Zurich treaties were styned on the 10th inst., and the Plenipotentiaries were to have left on the 22th. It waz reported that the Emperor of Morocco had empowered his brother to grant the demands of Spain; the latest advices, however, state that an | attack on Ceuta had been made by the Moors. The commercial intelligence indicates a partial | decline in the Liverpool cotton market, which | closed dull at noon on the 12th, with sales of 7,000 | bales. Breadstafls were firmly held and tending | upwards, but provisions were dull. A rise in the | price of wool had taken place. Money was active and rates unchanged. At London Consols were at | 9648 96} for account, on the 12th, which shows a | slight decline from the rates of the previous day. an securities were dull and unchanged.

Dr. Cheever yesterday forenoon delivered a ser. mon before a nunerous congregation, in the Church of the Puritans, Union square. He took his text fromthe 14th and 15th ver es of the 94th chapter of the Psalm: “The Lord w ll not cast off his peo- ple, neither will he forsake his inheritance. Bat judgment sbali return to righteousness, and all the pure in heart shall follow it.’ The reverend preacher took occasion to condemn, in his usual | vitably bring upon them.

The brutal snd bloody ductrine of an “irrepressivie conflict” had net yet been preached at Rochester, nor bad it ripened into practice at Harper's Ferry, In order rightly te comprebend the true ten- deney and progress of party politics under the guidance of demagogues and fanatics, let us contemplate the position of the republican i party to-day. 5 Tageous instruments, Jobn Brown, is about to One of its most active and cou- be executed, with several of his deluded fol- i lowers, for the high orimes of treason and mur- * der. Another is awaiting his trial by the fede- ral authorities for treason, in which there is little if any doubt that a number of the most prominent republican leaders will be implica- ted by the testimony as accessories before the fact. Virginia has five thousand mea under arms to protect her unoffending citizens, and Pennsylvania offers to place ten thousund more to guard her sister's frontier, while fac- tious demagogues and a fanatical clergy in the more Northern States are exciting the republi- cap party to rescue Brown, and Ralph Waldo Emerson procl#ims before an immense popular gathering in Boston, that his execution will “ muke the gallows as glorious as the cross.” There cannnet be a strovger contrast than that between the position of the repub: party as presented by Governor Banks in 1856, and that which the republican leuders, both lay- men and clergy, occupy to-day, calling upon the republican masses to rally to their support. It is time that the farmers, mecharics, manufac- turers, merchants, shipowners aud laboring classes, whose bonest hands produce the four thousand five hundred millions of accumulated industry which Governor Bucks so proudly al- luded to, should look to the result which this new position of the republican party will ine We may divide the populution of the Union into twenty millions of Northern and ten millions of Southern inhabi- tants. Arraying these in the “irrepressible conflict” proclaimed by Seward, whose brutal and bloody results are logicully foreshadowed by John Brown at Harper's Ferry, the Northern frontier of the Southern States and the Southern one of the Northern States must bristle with | tens of thousands of bayonets, not arrayed as now by Gov. Wise and Gov. Packer, for brother- | ly protection, but in hostile attitude against neighboring invasion. This line of hostile division will be drawn through every branch of trade, and protected by innumerable opposing custom houses, as is now the case in the territorially diminutive but independent countries of Europe. Instead of attaining that free importation of raw pro- ducts for our manufactures which Governor Banks aspired to, duties must be imposed on Southern cotton, Southern tobacco, Southern hemp, Southern wool, Southern naval stores, and the innumerable articles of Southern pro- duction which are now freely received in ex- change for the hundreds of millions of domestic and foreign products which they take from the North. The lines of steamships and sailing vessels which now vex the Atlantic with their Northern and Southern passages must be forcible style, the institution of slavery, and to extol the late : ttempt of Brown at Harper's lerry,as one of the most noble deeds commemorated in history. A synopsis of his sermon is given in another place. The Charch of the Messiah was crowded yester- day to listen to the annual Thanksgiving sermon oftheir pastor, Rev. Mr. Osgood, whose eloquent and effective discourse was listened to with marked ttention. His text was,“ blessed are the peace- unukers, for they shall be called the children of God.” A report is given elsewhere. Several fire companies met yesterday on the cor” ner of West Broadway and Franklin street, for the purpose of testing the powers of their respective engines. The playing was very spirited, but on account of the high wind the streams were not thrown so high as they would have been under more favorable circumstances. The higheststream thrown was by Constitution, No.7, of Brooklyn. ‘The particulars of the trial are given elsewhere. It will be seen by a communication from a St. Paul correspondent, published in another column, that the trip of a Concord coach from St. Paul to Port Garry—seventy miles north of the interna- tional line —is regsrded as significaut of closer com- amunication during the envuing season. Certainly a weekly mail, in four horse stages, to the head of navigation on the Red river, and thence, with the comforts and speed of a steamer, to the heart of the Selkirk settlements, will be an attractive pro- gramme of summer travel. Our correspondent urges upon the government to include an inyniry into our relations to the important districts of the Red river and the S.ssatchewan, with the pending arrangements for @ revisiun of the Reci- procity treaty, and with General Scott's mission to the North Pacific. This interlor region ot British America is yet destined to figure largely in the record of English coloni- zation. The Hudson’s Bay Company will yield ‘with a good grace to what Sir Bulwer Lytton ex- pressed in regard to this very country to be the “interests of an advancing civilization.” Before many years Selkirk will be the nucleus of a pros- perous colony, whose magnificent prairies will serve the same great economical purpose which Our Mississippi States have served in regard to the commerce and manufactures of the Atlantic sea- board. We feel assured that President Buchanan ‘will not lose sight of Central British America in concluding the international measures now pre- paring for the consideration of Congress. ‘The first railroad train, consisting of an engine nd a single car, passed over the Victoria bridge at Montreal yesterday. The time occupied in passing ever the bridge was twelve anda half minutes. ‘Two of the tubes are yet unfinished, but it is ex that the structare will be completed aad tirown open to the public by the middle of De- ecomber, stopped; the thousands of steamboats now plowing our Western waters must run only on NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY. The New Evn of the Anti-Slavery Agi- tation, Rey, Mr. Wheelock, in his sermon, very truly ald that Jobo Brown commenced a new era of Hitherto the fanati- cis vented tteelt in words; now it has begua to resort to “the last argument of kings,” the legic of blows, which the fanatics themselves openly declare they design ax the beginning of the end, the opening act of a second revolution in American history, embracing civil war and the dissolution of the Union. The republicans bave been bithe:'o known us the black repub- the wntishvers agitation, parallels of latitude, and not on those of longi- tude also; and the railroad trains that now freely pursue their Southern way must halt on the frontier, that it may be seen that no hos- tile emissary lurks in the cars. These are but the mildest results of the new doctrines of the republican party which have been proclaimed at Rochester, have fructified at Harper’s Ferry, and are now defended by a large portion of the republican leaders and of the republican journals. Some do it covertly and partially, while others do it boldly and without disguise. But the course of all the party is the same, and though the front ranks may be more advanced than others, still all are travelling in one direc- tion, and that is towards treason. The pro- gress that has been made is shown in the con- trast we have drawn between the position oc- cupied by Governor Banks, one of the most stalworth leaders of the party, in 1856, and that now held by Seward, Joho Brown, Beecher, Horace Greeley, and hundreds of others, noted republican leaders of the present day. Letthe republican farmers, merchants and manufac- turers of the North reflect upon the changed position into which they have been carried by demagogues and fanatics, and the treason to which they are advancing. The press, the pulpit and the platform are now being used to arouse party fanaticism, and when this is once up few men can resist the maelstrom tide of party passion. It leads them to sanction what their cooler reason would lead them to con- demn, and, above all, it blinds them to the great sacrifice of their best and highest interests, which the brutal and bloody doctrines of their eaders must entail Tue Mayorarty—Oxr More Caxpipate Wantev.—The Mozart Hall democracy have put forth their champion for Mayor; Tammany has done the same thing, and the republicans have also brought out their candidate. But where is the rump of the late great American party ? Has it resolved not to have a candidate, or do the Order intend to divide their honors among the three candidates already out? But why not as well give us a fourth candidate, 80 a8 to complete the quadrilateral? Or is the Know Nothing “ machine” too much out of re- pair for that, or what is the matter? lican pari, Herealter they will be kaown as the red repubticans—red with the blood of their (‘low citizens, The long crusade of se- ditio aud treasonable agitation has resulted at Inst in overt acts of treason and rebellion, al which some of the more timid republican leaders now feel appalled, while the hypocciti- cal, who ure uot yet prepared to throw off the mask, deprecate violence and bloodshed, and sey they want to overthrow the institutions of the South only by moral warfare, At the same time, however, they excuse and pulliate the crime ot Jobin Brown as if it were a mere poli- tical offence—one not criminal in itsclf, but only criminal because the insurrection failed. Had success crowned the bloody work it would be all right. Thus do they unconsciously betray the secret sympa thies and wishes of their hearts, The Tri- tame recently said the time was not yet come to write John Brown’s epitaph. He had only acted rashly, and was a little ahead of his party and his age. The Tribune, too, eadorses the treason at Harper’s Ferry by bucking up . the subscription for Brown’s family, first pro- ; posed in its columns. Who dares to start or * second a public subscription for the family of an ordipary coid-blooded murderer? No one. ‘There are numerous other families more de- serving of commiseration, and those who would single out for special favor the families of brigands aad assassins would be regarded as sympathizers with robbery and assassination. Society does not offer a premium on murder, nor insure the lives of asaussins fur the benefit of their families. What is there favorable in the case of John Brown or his family to take him or them out of the ordinary category? Nothing whatever. On the contrary, under a free guverument like ours the crime of treason and the murders which accompany it exceed atl otbers in atrocity, and are regarded in all countries with more than ordinary detestation by the people. This would be the casein the North were not the population extensively tainted with a fanaticism which sanctifies the most hideous of crimes as aa act of heroista and “the work of God.’ Hence it is that the family of Jobn Brown become objects of special solicitude, while those of mepy gvod men are left to starve. There is a revolutionary sentiment at the bot- tom of this. The design is to honor and glorify Brown, and to popularize his treason. Is is in- tended also to show other “devoted men” who are willing to follow his example, that they may feel assured that their families will be taken care of if they should “pay the glorious forteit of their lives” in doing the work of Heaven, and carrying out its “higher law.” If, therefore, the intention of the subscrip- tion for the fumily of John Brown is only to afford relief to his relatives according to the flesh, it is an insult to the majesty of the law, and an endorsement of his crimes. But Joho Brown has another family-—-a mystical one—- consisting of a million of sons of his spirit, who only want arms to fivish the work which their father begun at Harper’s Ferry. It is for this family the subscriptions are principally raised, and it is for this that John Brown’s autograph letter is sold for ten cents a copy, and his photograpbs at a dollareach. It is thus Mr. Emerson understood the priacipal object of the meeting at Tremont Temple, and it is so un- derstood by thousands. The anti-slavery party consists of two elements—one religious and fanatical, the other merely political. The po- litical alone would be harmless with- out the other combustible element, which, once it is thorougbly ignited, seems impossible to control. In the time of Cromwell it was the religious, fanatical element which rendered his army and himself so terrible. It is the same bow. The fanaticism of which the modern Roundhead, John Brown, is the representative, is driving the men of the North to desperate lengths. Some of the politicat leaders of the republican party, who are only trading in the anti-slavery agitation for the acquisition of power, or the possession of the public plunder, or to make money by pandering to fanaticism and party spirit by their inflammatory publica- tions, would gladly arrest the now perilous progress of this fanaticism if they could. But it has grown too powerful for them to hold it incheck. They have played too long with the passions of the fanatics, and now the movement is beyond their control. They have sown the wind, and they must reap the whirlwind. Another insurrection is in preparation, more bloody and more extensive than the first. Its battle fields will not be confined to Virginia, but, as the Washington “ra has threatened, the area of rebellion will be extended to otter Southern States, where the black population are more numerous in proportion to the whitesy and more ignorant and more uncivilized than they are in the border States. The second outbreak will be the signal for the disso lution of the Union, and a civil war whose horrors no imagination can depict, and whose end no man can foresee. How long will the con- servatives of the North stand with fulded arms looking on in passive wonder at the progress of the revolutionary flames, which by bold, de- termined and prompt action it may now be in their power to extinguish, but which, once they have gained a little more headway, will be be- yond all human power to subdue, till they have laid the fair fabric of the Union in ashes, and bruised and bleeding Liberty, flying from the ruins of her temple, will abandon the New World, and go back to the Old to seck a safer abode, Tuk Speaker or THE New Coxaress—Tur Sovrmrs Opprosrtion.—-The Baltimore Patriot, which is understood to be the mouthpiece of Hon. Henry Winter Davis, (a Southern opposi- tion leader from Maryland, recently re-elected to Congress,) says that it does not believe there isa single opposition member from the South “‘who will betray the cause of the opposition by accepting democratic votes to elect him;” but that “if after conferring together, it shall be deemed best to take a South American Speaker, the opposition (North and South) have votes enough to elect him without de- .

Secretary Cobb, of a fusion of the democrats upon & Southern opposition man for Speaker, is not likely to bold water; and secondly, that Mr. Wivter Davis is, perbapa, a candidate for the office, sad is casting about tor the vote of the republican party, Very well. When the fid- dlers begin to play at Washington, we shall discover come curious combinations in the dance, and Mr. Winter Davis may be among the fiddlers. The British Empire in Indda—Wil) Eng- Jand Abandon It? 4s is becoming a mooted question ia Eag- land whether the British empiro in Todia shull be abandoned to itself, or whether the imperial government shall still continue to mest the extraordinary expenditure that is necessary to retain it in its colonial condition. Tadia bas, doubtless, during the past centu- ry, tonterially added to the aggrandivement of Great Britain, but it was through a policy which eat out the substance while it left tha shadow. The burbaric thrones of the native rajuhs have béen pillaged of their pearl and gold by a rapa- cious company, which continued the evils of the native system of plunder while it abandoned} } the good that was in the native policy. Eu- ropeun itmmigration outside of the Company's emptoyés was discouraged, and while an odious opium culture monopoly was protected, in order to foster » war with China, the export of cotton from the whole of India was a mil- lion and a half pounds leas in weight than the cotton fabrics imported. The overbearing and tyrannical conduct of the Hast India Company’s employés stimulated the hatred of the native races, and awoke their natural desire to regain their country, and the late fearful struggle with the sepoy troops swept away the old Company moaopoly and rendered Lecessary a new order of things. But the foundations of thisare not secare. Although the entire country appears to be subjected, and the revolting sepoys almost annihilated, distrust continues to exist in the Madras and Bombay Presidencies, and the Governor of the former has recommended to the home govern- ment the entire disbanding of native regiments io that Presidency. The policy of the new Indian government is a liberai one, and evidently aims at repairing the errors of the last century of misrule. In- ternal kuprovements are to be stimulated, and extensive enterprises encouraged by guarantee- ing a commensurate interest on invested cupi- tal, and railways and telegraphs are already projected, which will intersect and bind the whole Indian empire. Steam navigation on the great rivers, which had been go neglected, or rather opposed, under the Company, that when the rebellion broke out hardly a single river steamer was available, is opened to competi- tion, and two companies are already building in England boats similar to our low waterriver steamers, to be used on the Iudus and Ganges. Telegraphic communication bus already been estublisbed to Aden, and will soon extend to the new port of Kurrachee, at the mouth of the Indus, which promises soon to rival Bom- bay. Cotton cultivation on an unusual scale is being projected in the Bombay and Madras Presidencies, with the hope of ultimately ren- dering the English market independent of our Southern cotton. But for the developement of this policy, aud the gathering of its fruits, timo, patience and skill, and, above all, money, are required. The change from the grasping, starving and murderous policy of the East India Company, to the present liberal ove, will probably pro- duce a reduction in the revenue of ludia for some time to come; while, on the other hand, the destruction of the native troops, the slum- bering hopes of the various races to regain the government, and the well known treachery of the Asiatic character, will render imperative the presence of a powerful European force, until the developement of the resources of the country shall bave created new ties of interest, and have been instrumental in instilling other and rational aims into the people. In this emergency the acclimated and most desirable men of the old army of the East India Compa- ny are leaving the country. The Indian au- thorities unwisely refused to grant at first the bounty which they afterwards recognized as rightfully due, on the transfer of the men from the Company's service to that of the Queen, and the result is that at our last advices from Calcutta, the disbanded European troops of the Company were leaving the country at the rate of one thousand weekly—a nominal portion of them only agreeing to accept the bounty offered them on condition of joining the Chi- nese expedition now forming in India. All of these considerations are beginning to weigh with the English public, and to force upon the British government the necessity of providing from home resources the means for reconstructing its empire in India. Although it is not to be supposed that England will con- sent to abandon o possession which is really valuable, and in maintaining which her honor and her prestige are involved, we may natu- rally conclude that present exigencies will go far towards reducing her tormer ambitious policy of a further extension of her Indian possessions. Tue Muses ror GartpaLpi.— The appeal for subscriptions in aid of the fund for the purchase of the million of muskets solicited to secure the triumph of Italian independence is certain, from the indications that reach ys, to meet with generous and enthusiastic response from all parts of the Union. The New York Committee of the Italian National Society are, we understand, daily receiving letters assuring them of immediate support, 2s soon as the sub- scription lists are organized. In order to give effect to the requests conveyed in these com- munications, the committee have opened lists n central localities in the city, where those desiring to assist in this praiseworthy effort can ubscribe. As coon as the necessary arrange- ments can be perfected, similar agencies will be established in all the large cities of the Union. In the meanwhile, parties desiring to orward on subscriptions here can address them to any of the following gentlemen com- posing the committee, viz:--G. Albincla, V. Botta, Dr. Ceceavini, E.G. Fabbri, E. P. Tab- bri, O. Fabbricotti, G. Gajani, M. Pastacaldi. When it is recollected that it is on the ability displayed by the Italians to help themselves that will depend the favorable solution of the questions about to be submitted to the con- gress, the urgency of this appeal will be at once appreciated. Let ail friends of human progress, therefore, come forward with their mite in support of the principles involved in the struggles of the Itallun patriots, If there is one nation more than another that is bound to eympathive with them, it is this, for we have hud to fight the same fight, under the sume difficulties, for political independence. Our Forsion Porunarion-—Lyorronarion,—1t will have been seen from the letter of our Dub- Un correspondent, published last week, that a marked improvement has taken place in the condition and prospects of Ireland. The En- cumbered Estates act hus freed the soil trom the incubus of a pauper proprietary, and the division of tho immense tracts of waste iand held by single owners amongst simall capitalists has had the effect of bringing them at once into cultivation. The inereused demand for labor to which this has led bas, of course, in a degree, checked emigration to this country, but its full influence has yet to be felt. As soon as agri- culture receives the developement for which a rich soil and abund we of capital are the main conditions require::, thy laboring population of Treiand will scareeiy suffice for its wants, Af- ter the famine of 1846 it lost by death and emi- gration about two millions a half of its en- tire btrength, and it will be some time before it recovers this falling off. Tho impulse which has been given to industry of every kind within the Inst few years will, as the fatter extends the aphere of Its operstivns, aiso extead the de mand for labor; and as this is alweady threaten- ing to outstrip the supply, the result must Gaaily be to put a toial ctop to emigration. Thus the Irish element in this country will eventually lose ita distinctive character, inasmuch ag it will cease to be fo! from the other side. The foreign population of our city at the present time amounts to about two hundred thousand, of whom about one-half are Irish, and the remainder Germans, with a sprinkling of other nationalities. The foreign vote is about thirty thousand, more than fifteen thousand of which is German. In the lower wards the Ger- mans are fast displacing the Irish, and driving them up town. The characteristics of the two races are as opposed as they well can be, and owing to this difference the former contrive, in the long rua, to distance their rivals. The Irishman, in his quality of Celt, is impulsive, excitable and improvident. The Teuton is, on the contrary, phlegmatic, industrious and thrifty. By the exercise of these gifts the Ger- mans are getting pose®§sion of ad the strong- holds of the Irish down town, aad monopolizing in particular the corner groceries and grog- shops, which are the centres of local political influence. It is not merely in this way, but by their press, that the Germans are acquiring a po- litical superivrity over other foreigners. Whilst the Irish have in this city only two or three weekly journals of trifling circulation, the Ger- mans have three daily and about a dozea weekly papers. The circulation of one of their dailies exceeds that of the News, the Journal of Com- merce, the Commercial Advertiser, the Post and the Courier and Enquirer united. The German population of New York has of late years been rapidly increasing in numbers and influence, and owing to the operation of political causes in the fatherland it is likely to receive still more important accessions of strength from year to year. The Irish element, on the con- trary, if not quite at a stand still, will soon be se, with the further prospect of losing entirely its distinctive character in the course of a generation or two. We recommend the subject to the attention of politicians: it may be worth taking into consideration ia their calculations. Oprosrrion MovEMENTS Ly VIRGINIA YOR 1860,— Notwithstanding the absorbing excitement cre- ated among all parties in Virginia by the events and rumors resulting from Old Brown’s revolutionary invasion, the political elements of that State opposed to the continuance of the democracy in power at Washington are beginning to show their hand for 1860. An opposition State convention on this great sub- ject is to meet in Richmond on the 14th of De- cember, and in various counties the election of delegates to said convention is actively going on. As a specimen brick of these proceedings, we presume that the resolutions of the late op- position meeting in Stafford county will an- swer. From said resolutions it would appear, then, that the opposition party of Virginia are equally opposed “to the mischievous, double- construction Kansas-Nebraska bill and squat- ter sovereignty doctrines of Stephen A. Doug- las,” and what they call “the monstrous enor- mities of the administration;” and that “we hail with the most cordial approbation every honorable attempt to unite all the conservative elements of the country into one great patri- otic band, whose mission shall be the restora- tion of the government to its pristine purity,” &c. This Stafford meeting also puts ina good word for John Minor Botts. We think that the politicians of all parties, from these proceedings, may anticipate the or- ganization of the nucleus of an active third party, North and South, for the campaign of 1860, by this approaching Virginia opposition State convention. We predict, too, that while this new party will be a thorn in the side of the Southern fire-eating democracy, it will be a wet blanket over our hypocritical Northern sympathizers with Old Brown. As for the ad- ministration, it will be competent to take care of itself, whatever may be the organization of parties for the succession. As the democratic party, however, cannot survive the battle of 1860 without a cordial alliance with the ad- ministration, we shall be able soon to judge, from the proceedings of the party in Congress upon this point, whether they are in the path to success or the road to ruin. Pauner’s Winmr Cartiys.—iu noticing this status the otber day, we omitted to state that it is on exhibition at Mr, Schaus’, 629 Broadway. The commendations that we bestowed upon it are, we are happy to see, receiving the general aseent of the prees and of connoisseurs. It is unquestionably one of the finest pieces of sculpture ever exhibited by an American artist. In sentiment it expresses perfectly the sculptor’s conception, whilat its mantpulation carnot fail to satisfy those euperficial critics who attach more value to delicacy of handling than to the force of the subject. We repeat that no modern work that we have geen, either here or abroad, affords more unmistakable evidences of genius. It is a success that wo aro nationally proud of, inasmuch as it proves that thero if now no work of art in which oer countrymen may not aspire bear away cosmopolitan honors. 69, 6145, 159 art 2.— "Adjourned to Mi jay will be posted Frias, sar of part 2 for Mi RermALoR Covi Pee FIVE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ammrvran ¢ bell THB esusijuapteaceaal SIGNING OF THE 7URIC ‘TREATIES.
