Our Successful Treaty with China, ‘The recent official acts of our Minister, Mr. Ward, at the Chinese capital have been made the subject of many invidious aud maliclous comments by the British press, Tho ratifloation of the treaty, with which he was charged, has been donbted in that quarter; his reception by the Chinese authorities haa been jeered at, and ridicule attempted to be thrown upoo the whole proceedings of the United States em- tacsy. Bot tor ail that, it is nevertheless true that Amerionn diplomucy be achieved slg- pal triumph ie China, while that of Sngland evd Fravce bes suffered an aggravating defeat; that this pation bus acquired advantages of the mest important character, while Boylaed and France are probably farther thea over from the attainment of thelr dewires with refe- reoce to an faterchange of trade with the Celestial Empire.

The News. ‘The steamship Bohemian arrived at Portland yesterday, with Liverpool advices iv the forenoon of the 16th inst. Ths news is two days later than previously received accounts, but is of an unimpor- tav¢ character. No progress had been mado to- wards the opening of the proposed Earopean Uoo- gress,nor had anything of importauce occurred with reference to the war between Spain aud Mo- rocco. In Italy Prince Carignan had declined the regency of the Central States, and Chevalier Baon. comoagaie had been selected in his place, and bad accep'ed the office. Financial affairs had fluctua- ted considerably in London, owing to the uncer- tain state of affairs respecting the entente cordiale between Francb and England, while 2 monetary crisis prevailed at St. Petersburg. Tho Liverpool American produce markets had undergone no change of moment. ‘We have advices from the city of Mexico to the 16th inst. It was reported that a compromize had been proposed between Juarez, Robles and Mira- mon, by which Juarez is to be Provisional Presi- dent, the constitaticn of 1857 to be restored, and the laws confiscating church property to be an- pulled. The liberats bad gained a signal victory at ‘Tudancingo. ‘The steamer Yorktown arrived at this port last aight, with details of Havana news to the 23th inst., and later advices from St. Thomas. They are, however, of little interest. The Spaaish steamer Victoria, bound from St. Thomas to Bt. Jugo de Cuba, while leaving the port of Jacmel, on tho 6th inst., strack on the reef st the entrance of the Larbor and suvk. It was thought that very little would be saved from the wreck. Our dates from Porto Rico are to the 9th of No- vember. The news is not of the slightest interest. The purser, chief steward, fourteen passengers, and the mails of the wrecked steamer Indian, ar_ rived at Portland, Me., yesterday. Ten of the pas- sengers are bound for New York. Their names are given in our Portland despatch. ‘The news of the death of Washington Irving, at his residence at Tarrytown, on Monday night, was received in this city yesterday forenoon. The ao nouncement caused a profoand seusation, and im- mediately flags were displayed at half-staff upoo the public buildings, and such other means were resorted to as would appropriately expreas the cial point of view, giving to the United States udvantages which vo other nation possesses, aud facilities for trade with that quarter of tho globe—with its’ immense resvurces—never offered to any other people. The most sanguine could not expeot, from the known exclusiveness of Chinese polioy, spay better result tham has come out of Mr. Ward’s mission, despite the sneers sod jeeré of those whose chagrin and disap- pointment find vent in editorial abuse. We conceive thut the ratificution of the Chivese treaty is the greatest commercial suc. cess ever achieved in the Fast; for it was ae- complisbed peacefully, in good faith, and in a perfectly friendly spirit, wholiy at variance with the modes by which England acqnired ascendency in India, and the few advantages sbe possesses in China itself. It ia not unlikely that the Chinese emigration to California had a good deal to do in creating the friendly feeling evinced by the Chinese authorities for the United States on the occasion of Mr. Ward’s mission; for, although the treatment of the immigrants there has not always been as liberal as it should be, still there must have been a retroactive influence produced from what they have seen, and doubtless told, of this country. We trust that the California people will appreciate this fact, by abandoning the ex- elusive measures against the Chinese now in contemplation, and by a reciprocity of good feeling and toleration to that portion of the population. But from whatever cause the friendly spirit originated, it is certain that this country has received at the hands of the Chi- nese government a generous consideration de- nied to all other Powers, and that the coutrast between the prudent and wise course adopted by us, and the bullying conduct of England and France, has had a most satisfactory effect upon our commercial relations with China. A Menicrvat Reyouwtios.—-We are on the eve of a great municipal revolution in this city, or ratber the revolution is actually in progress, if it is not already az accomplished fact. That revolution is the wholesale desertion of Tam- many Hall by the rank and file of the democra- cy, as well as by the respectable classes, leav- ing behind only a few leaders, who find them- selves in the interesting predicament of officers without soldiers—a staff without an army. The ratification meeting endorsing the nomination of Fernando Wood, at the Cooper Institute, on Monday evening, is an evidence of this. Per- haps in the annals of municipal elections there is no example of such @ meeting—aa assem- blage so numerous and so enthusiastic. The gathering outside the building, which could not find admission, was far greater than that within, and it is estimated that some twenty thousand persons were present. Here, then, is an evidence of the abandon- ment of the rotten old sinking ship of Tamma- feelings of the public on the occasion. We give elsewbere a sketch of the life and writings of the deceased, whose name and works are known wherever the English language is spoken. A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen will be convened this afternoon at three o'clock, by the request of his Honor the Mayor, who desires to send them a communication respecting the deuth of Washington Irving. The General Committee ef the old line whigs held 8 meeting last evening. They listened to an excellent Union-saving speech from Senator Crit- tenden, nominated Greene C. Bronson for Corpora. tion Counsel, Mr. andrews having declined the honor, selected John H. Briggs as their candidate for Aimshouse Governor, expelled some half dozen of their members for acting with the republicans, and attended to various other matters, The citizens of New Branswick gave a dinner yesterday to the officers of the New Jersey Railroad and Trancportation Company, and other invited guests, in honor of the compiction of the double track from this city to that place. A lectare (the cighth of a serica) was delivered last evening, in the Plymouth church, Brooklyo, (Mr. Beecher’s), by the Hon. Thomas Corwin, of Ohio. The subject was ‘‘The American Christian Citizen—His Duties.” The lecture, of which a brief sketch is given in another place, was listenod to with much interest by a numerous andience. At the weekly meeting of the Almshouse Gover nors yeeterday, # communication was received from the Superintendent of the Workhouse, in- ny Halt by passengers and crew. It carries an antislavery pirate flag at its masthead, and it will soon disappear on the popular waves of an overwhelming municipal revolution. Not only the people, the bone and sinew, the me- chanics, the laboring classes and the grocers, the native and the foreign born population, the Germans and the Irish, but the wealth, the mer- cantile interest, the intelligence and the educa- tion of the city are quitting that God-forsaken old hulk. Hardly as many as are sufficient to make a prayer meeting will stay behind. We have reason to know that cuch men as William B. Astor, Augustus Belmont, and a host of mer- chants representing the Southern and foreign trade in this city, are embarked in this new in- vestment, which, following the direction of the growth of the city and the tide of population, is seeking moré respectable qnerters some- where up town, and leaving the filth and cor- ruption, the rowdyism and violence of “the Coalbole,” to the little clique of leaders who make such ludicrous nominations for the demo- cracy, and pretend that they have the control of the masses. The people on Tuesday will teach them a lesson which they will never forget. The meaning of this new movement is that sl] our conservative citizens, from the highest to the lowest, are about to repudiate and de- forming them of the escape of a prisoner named | Dounce, through the ballot box, in a voice John Hodges, by swimming from Blackwell's Island to Long Island.

Me. Hallock, of the Journal Ff Commerce, is charmed with the pious teadea oles of Tammany Halil, as manifested ia the nomination of the Rev, Mr. Havemeyer for the Mayoralty. Thus we are told that this pious candidate is a brother in good standing among CHET the Sabbutarians. He is im favor of kovping |. the Subbath day holy, which mesas that he is in favor of shutting up the working olasses in their houses on that day, so that they may not | disturb the Sabbath amusements of our pivus f aristocracy. But there will not be piety enough in this Sabbutarian to save poor old Tammany. The democratic rank and file are deserting it us rats devert a sinking ship. Nothing but a great revival of religion wiil save the concern. To this evd we recommend a special day to Tammany of fasting, humiliation and prayer. Let the Rev. Mr. Hallock open the meeting; let the Rev. Jobn Van Buren lead off iu prayer; let the Rev. Father Havemeyer do the preach- ing; then let there be a prayer of the Subba tarian order from the Rev. Mr. Brady, and let the Rev. Isaiah Rynders pronounce the bene diction. Thus they muy get up a revival and a daily prayer meeting in the Old Wigwam, and@ thus poor old Tammany may be purtlied. Otherwise we fear that in her filth, corruptions ond abominutions, all her reverend nurses and Subbatarians will be swallowed up.

CHARLES CLIFFORD, Lieut. Commanding. The black republican newspapers hereabouta have attempteg to throw a great deal of ridi- cule upon Governor Wise for his extensive mi- litary preparations, making the rescue of the condemned men almost a matter of impossibi- lity. The above notice, however, would seem to show that there was in certain abolition dis tricta in the North and West an intention to rescue the prisoners, and perhaps had Gover- nor Wise omitted his precautionary measures, the attempt might bave been made. If the Go- vernor of Virginia has erred, it has been on the safe side, at all events. Acapemy or Music.—Last night Mies Adetina Patti ap- peared for the third time in “Lucia di Lammermoor,’ and attracted a crowded house. The sensation which this youg prima donna bas made is one of a deop and abiding character. Her triumphant début has but few parallels in operatic history. Atono bound she bag made herself 2 prime 1svorite with a public which is provorbi- aly dificult to plense, and which fadges its own artists much more severely than those who have passed the or- deal of European audiences. Miss Patti's performance last night war a decided improvement upyn hor début, and oyory one was in raptures with nor frogh aud sym- patheilc voice, Ler brilliant execution—which reminds one very forcibly of Bosio—and the ebarming simplicity of her manner, which was one of the most attractive characteriatice of Jenny Lind. The enthusiasm of the audience Isat night manifested itsolf in the most sponta- neous and hearty applause, and in frequent recalls of the new primadonna. We havo nuthing to add to our previous remarks upon Mies Patti’s artisticqualifications. So far aa thoy aro displayed in Lucia, a teat réle, they are of tho very ret order, and they indicate for hor @ most brilliant future.

My friends inform me that I have boon accused of abusing America and the Americans in my lectures in England, and I beg the favor of a little spaco in your Paper to contradict a statement so unjust and 50 contrary to my well known feelings and sentiments, Iam a natu. ralized citizen of this country, and, after having coon something of almost every nation on carth, I have pro- ferred this to all others for my home. I did not seo the reports of my English lectares which were published in this country; but if they made mo abuse Amorica they wero either imperfectly or anfairly reprinted. So far trom abusing America, I defended this country from the assaulta and beth speared si poane hor own prees. My lectures in England were listened to (I know with approval) by & great numbor of American zentiomon of the highest character for intelligence and respectability in Manchester, Liverpool and London. I rocal! tho fact with prkie and pleasure that so many Americana did me tho honor to call upon me and porsopally exprees their gratification I meant my lectures to be fair and truthful portraitures of this country, without thu silly twaddie of adulation on the one hand or of misrepreseatations on the other. And, aurely, we may speak of faulta in those we beat love without incurring the charge of abosing them. T did not commit tho usciess folly of saying that Amorica had no faulta, but I did say, in thes vory words, that, “tice ft all in all, there is no other spot on earth where man ig making such giant strides towards ctyilization and perfection ag in Ame- rca.” And such was the spirit of all that I said of America, All the lectures I delivered in England wilt soon be published iu a book,and they will stow for themeectves my sincere admiration for the institutions ef this country. when I say that my lectures were listened to with approval by Americans ia England, fought per. haya to except tho one on Slavery in tho United States,” which L underatand gave offence to some very worthy gentiomen, who, Tru , had certain partisan philan Uuropic views, Which rendered it quite imposéibie that (ney should: approve of the opinion of an itmpar. tial” and unbiassod observer who cares nothing for At the partinanehip or prejudices of cither skio. any rote, tho dark eventa witieh 1 predicted already beginning to appear, and Iam, oven nequitied cr the ‘charge which waa brought, again locture, of obuaing America, by saymg that ic wua dy enod with civ) war and anarchy.
