The steamship Prince Albert, of the Galway line, arrived at the Boy of Briton on the morning of the 6th iat. She left Galway on 234, and brings tele- graphic advices from Liverpool to the 25th ult. The Sicilian news is conflicting—the official despatches claiming a victory over Garibaldi; while another report says that he had entered Palermo, and as- sumed the dictatorship. Affairs between France an¢ Turkey look threatening. Nathing of importance beyond the passage of the Houmas Land bill occurred in the Senate yes- terday. The Army bill came up for discussion, but no definite action was had upon it. In the House, the consideration of the bill for the relief of the oficers and soldiers of the Revolution, and the widows and children of those who died in the ‘ser- vice, was postponed until December. A resolu. tion was adopted to allow the States of Louisiana, Texaa and Arkansas to levy tolls on boats which may navigate the Red river, with a view of defray- ing the expenses of removing the raft which now cbstructa its navigation. The confession of Albert W. Hicks relative to the triple murder on board the sloop E. A. John- son created quite a sensation in the community yesterday. It is understood that the counsel of Hicks bave raised an objection as to the validity of his trial before Judge Smalley, who, they contend, ‘was not a regularly appointed judge. We alluded yesterday to the death of several of the swans in the Central Park, and to the supposi- tion that poison had been administered to them by some one @cidentaliy or by design. From a statement given elsewhere it seems probable that the swans had partaken of food prepared with ar- seoic for the destruction of rats,and which had been placed in situations suitable for that purpose, The deleterious effect of this food on the other feathered inhabitants of the Park is also evident, ‘ga their numbers are said to be sensibly diminiah- ing. The Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, met Jast evening inthe Old Wigwam, and adjourned immediately, without transacting any business of importance. They are to meet again at four o'clock on Wednesday next, the 15th inst. The Board of Education held another of its cha- racteristic meetings last evening, in which the dis- cussion of the dismissal of the Protestant teachers 4m the Fourth ward, without any assigned cause, ‘was the chief feature of the proceedings. Several resolutions and counter resolations were offered, bet the Board adjourned pending the debate on the question. The Excise Commissioners met yesterday and granted nine licenses to liquor dealers for the ‘uma! fee. They have adopted measures for having Teported to them the names and places of busi- ness of all the droggists and apothecaries in the city who sell liquor in the form of schnapps and new fashioned brandies, which many of them pub- licly advertise, for the purpose of commencing @uits against them, or obliging them to take out licenses Hike other dealers. The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Ma sons of the State of New York held its second sersion at the Apollo Rooms yesterday. The Project of the National Congress was brought up and rejected, and the controversy in the Eastern Btar Lodge, in regard to Mayor Wood, was also brought up and referred to the Committee of Grievances. The Commissioners of Emigration held their weekly meeting yesterday afternoon. A commu- nication was received from the Quarantine Com missioners informing the Board that the Health Officer had reported the arrival of a vessel from Rio Janeiro with two cases of sickness (not yellow fever) on board, which it would be necessary to detain fifteen days in quarantine. The invalids bave been sent to the Seamans’ Retreat for treat- meant for want of better accommodations. The ves. sel in question had also a case on board before leaving Rio and another on the passage; the latter of which cied. The communication also asked a Joan of $2,000 to provide temporary accommodations for the reception of patients to be paid out of the Joan to be raised on Seguine’s Point when the Quargatine Commissioners come into its pomes sion. Commissioner Lowe moved that the sum of $2,000 be loaned to the Quarantine Commissioners to enable them to provide temporary accommoda- tions for yellow fever patients. The motion was carried. The Finance Committee were directed to meet the Finance Committee of the Mutual In- surance Company this morning, and negotiate the Proposed loan on Beguine’s Point. On motion of Mr. Purdy @ committee of three was appointed to settle the accounts of the Board with the Commis- sioners of Charities an4 Correction. The number of emigrants arrived during the week was 5,346, ‘and the balance of the commutation fund is now $29,162 80. One of the finest exhibitions of the powers of the trotting horse that has ever taken place in this country occurred yesterday on the Union Course, Long Island, in a race between that phenomena of the turf, Flora Temple, and the Bashaw stallion George N. Patchen. The race, which was mile heats. was won, after a most desperate struggle dy Flore, in the romarkably quick time of 2:21, 2:24 2Alh—the best ever madq on this track. A quorum of members not being present last evening, the meeting of the Acidemy of Medicine Wea adjourned for two weeks. ‘The jory in the Weymouth poisoning case have rendered a verdict that Mary Tirrell came to het death by the administration of corrosive sublimate by some unknown person, ‘The United States Consul at St. Catherines, Bra, wil, seat home four sailors charged with mutiny on board the American bark Taybee, of Stonington.

Moral avd social evils cling to every system ‘of government and every system of \abor. There is none perfect. We contead that there ia far less evil connected with the mild negro servitude of the South than with the free isbor system of the North. The steve labor of the South is not an evil ia itself, but a biessing. It is the corper stone ot Southern civilization, which, in every respect, is superior tu our own. It makes a better provision for the wauts and cent per pound; sales were made at 5} to 64 cente, The receipts; including 624 beef cattle at Bergen Bill, were—4,666 head beeves, 169 cows, 1,402 veals, 8,239 sheep and lambs, and 5,609 ewine. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 3,000 baits, Of September last have reached 4,383,00¢ bales, against 3,597,000 in 1859, and 2,923,060 im 1868. ‘The exports Dave reeched 3,517,000 bales, against 2,674,00 in 1859, and 2,156,460 im 1858.

Corn was lees buoyant, but ond to the Eastward. Pork was firmer and more active, Gales of new mess at $1706 & $18, and of new prime at $18 60 a $13 60. Sugars wore quite steady, with sales of 2,000 bhds, at rates given in another column. Coffee was steadier, while sales were limited Rates closed with more firmnces for grain to Liverpool. Corn was freely taken in sbip’s bags to Liverpool at 74., and about 50,000 bb’s. flour at 1s, 9d. Fair engagements were also made to L.ndop and to the Continent at steady rates. The Republicam Press om Summer's Speech. The republican journals of this city—the Tribune, the Times, and the Courier and Enqui- rer—all agree in opinion about Sumner’s speech in the United States Senate. With singular unanimity they deprecate its tone, though they do not repudiate its principles. In this they are hypocritical, for they believe, with Sumner, thet slavery is an evil and asin, and they be- long to a party which is organized to abolish it. They are abolitionists as well as he; but he is more honest than they are, and reasons from their principles and his own to logical consequences from which they shrink, not be- cause they do not see the force of his argument and believe in the justness of his conclusions, but because they think it politic not to say all they think till after the election. They know that two or three millions of conservatives in the North will not stand the revolutionary doc- trines of the party when fairly expounded by a leader who deserves the epithet of honest far better than Abe Lincoln. The republican journais regard Sumner as imprudent in letting out too much truth instead of co-operating with them to cheat the people till their object is accomplished. This betrays the weakness of their cause, and shows that they have not confidence in their own princi- ples. If they believe them to be sound pria- ciples—if negro servitude in the South be the moral and religious evil, the social and politi- cal wrong which they describe it—why are they scared at the legitimate consequences which iow from their belief? Sumner and Wendell Phil- lips, and Garrison and Giddings, and Seward and Lincoln, have all conducted the argument to the abolition of slavery in every State of the Union. And what consequences that involves we have all a right to judge. Any other pon- clasion than abolition would be most lame and impotent; for if the republican party is not organized to abolish slavery, what is it organ- ized to do? There is now no “bleeding Kansas,” and not a foot of territory owned by the United States into which there is the slightest probability of any planter ever emigrating with his slaves. If, then, the object of the republican party be not to abo- lish slavery in the States, it is organized on a mere abstraction, and for no practical end. It stands self-condemned for agitating the whole country, and driving it to the brink of civil war, without an object or anaim. If Webb and Greeley and Raymond are right, Sumner is right. Ifhe is wrong they are wrong, and in condemning him they condemn themselves. If his premises are true, his conclusions are right. But Mr. Sumner is wrong both in his pre- mises and conclusions. His foundation is sand, and his superstructure must go to pieces. His statistics, for instance, are as false as Helper’s. Many of the facts which he adduces to show that slavery is wrong are exceptions to the general rule, and thousands of such facts might be brought forward against the system of free labor in the North. He refers, for instance, to duelling with the pistol, or rifle, or bowie knife, to show the barbariem of the South. Are no knives or pistols used at the North? Are sach pugi- listic encounters as have recently taken place among us evidences of a superior civilization or a bgber refinement? Does not duelling prevail iv faland and France—particularly in the latter country, the most civilized and re. fined in the world? There is no slavery there to give birth to the daello. To say that duel- ling eprings from slavery and barbarism, there- fore, is the height of absurdity. Mr. Sumner might as well assert that war arises from the same causes. The labor system of the most re- fined and polished nations of antiquity—Greece and Rome—was elavery—countries whose high civilization would in many respects compare favorably with that of New England, whose poetry, of which Mr. Sumner talks so much, is poor stuff when placed beside the di- vine strains of Homer and Sophocles and Pindar, and Virgil and Horace. In painting and sculpture and architecture, the artists of ancient Greece and Rome are our models to this.day. It was Greece invented democracy and liberty, and she founded her freedom on slave labor. So much for Mr. Sumner's position that slavery prodaces bar- bariem Mr. Sumner lays great stress upon the fact that edocation is more widely diffured among the Passes in New England than at the South. Tae reason is plain. The Yankee, for the most part, must live by his wits, the soil being too poor to give him employment His for- tune consists in his limited education, and with this he emigrates to other States, and be- comes a teacher, or clerk, or reporter, or editor, or doctor, cr lawyer, The same re- fnark spplies to Scotland, in its relation to the southern portion of the island of which it is part, Bat the most highly edu- cated men, the echolars and the statesmen who have ruled this republic since the foundation of the government, baye been chiefly of the necessities of the negro than hecan make for bimeelf in that climate. It is the foundation of the prosperity of the whole country. Mr. Sumner boasts that the manufactures of New England outnumber those of the South, end appeals to that fact as a triumphant argu- ment sgainst slavery. But the South is not a manufacturing, but an sgricultural country, and if it did not furnish the raw materials, where would be the manufactures of New Eng- land? New England is too barren and the Population too thick for agriculture. Its ex- celling in mapufectures arises from that neces- elty which is the mother of invention. If the South withdrew its custom from New Eorland, what would become of half ite manufactures, end of its starving population? The South hitherto did not need to manufacture, for it could make more money by raising the raw material. But should it manufacture hereafter for itself all that it has been receiving from the North, it would no longer be in the power of Mr. Sumner to make such anempty vaunt. Abun- dance of manufactures is no evidence of happi- ness or prosperity among the mases of the people, and no test of the superiority of free over slave labor. In Old England manufac- tures are more numerous than in New Eng- land, and where else in the world is there such a miserable, poverty-stricken diseased population as that of the factory towns of Great Britain? White slaves they are, like those of New England, and unenviable is their sad Jot compared with that of the happy negroes of our Southern States. Within a few montbs there have been numerous strikes all over New England, and appeals to charity for the purpoee of obtaining a wretched pittance for free labor somewhat above the starvation point. Do we ever hear any complaint of the population of the South being in a starving condition and without the necessaries and even the comforts of life? And it would be well, ia some respects, for those in the North who do not labor, but require the labor of others, if they were favored with the Southern system of servitude as regards do- mestic servants. The time is coming, if net already come, when the Anglo Saxon will not perform servile labor. Emigration from Europe is almost exhausted, or at best does but keep pace with the demands for “help” in our large cities. What is to be done? And yet Mr. Sumner and his party propose to overturn this system of labor at the South, as well as at the North, by force or by fraud, by law or by arms, and the republican journal- ists of New York believe in his policy, but they have not the courage or the honesty to avow the designs of their party. Horatio Seymour's Resignation oF THE Nommation FoR THE PReswpency.—This. is a capital illustration of the practice of making a merit of necessity. Mr. Seymour never was in a position in which be had the slightest chance of the democratic nomination for the Presi- | dency, and his resignation, therefore, is at- tended with small sacrifice on his part. It is merely a trick of the Albany Regency, whose supple instrument he is—that unscrupulous junta who broke up the Charleston Conven- tion, and intend to break up the Baltimore Convention—who, after slaughtering Wise and betraying Dickinson, are now engaged in despatching Douglas, who puts his trust in their Punic faith. ‘The Regency are the cause of all the diffi- culty and trouble existing in the democratic party. They forced the secession of the South- ern members, and they will take good care, as far as they can, that there will be no reunion of the seceders with the Convention at Balti- more—no harmony of action in the party. There is every probability, therefore, that there will be two democratic can- didates beforethe people. And what care they for the consequences? If they cannot control the nomination themselves, and use the nominee as their most obedient slave, they would rejoice at the overthrow of the party. Their motto is “rule or ruin,” and they are in league with the Seward faction for the spoils of the State, and particularly of the city of New York, the great placer in which they have invested their prin- cipal political capital. Theee are of far more importance to them than the federal spoils, both on account of their greater amount and their certainty, a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush. It is the policy of these two anti-slavery fac- tions who control the legislation of the State, and who differ only in name, to sacrifice ne tional interests for local plunder. They under- stand each other thoroughly, and always play into each other’s bands, and they have no more scruple about killing a statesman or a politi- cian to whom they have pledged themselves than a butcher has about cutting the throat of a fatted calf; and as for their respective parties, they each thank God most fervently that they have a party and a country to sell. Faesu Exouisa Dirricvntms oy lvia.—The reorgenization of the Indian government, under the direot control of the British ministry, does not appear thus far to be attended with the re- sults that were anticipated from it. Either owing to the ignorance of Indian affairs om the part of the home authorities, or to the spirit of independence aroused in Indian officials by the debates in Parliament of the last session, mat- ters do not seem to work very harmoniously. Sir Charles Trevelyan, the Governor of Madras, has just been recalled for publishing a spirited protest against the financial schemes of Mr. James Wilson, which he contends can only be forced upon the native population at the point of the bayonet. During the brief period that he bas been in India, Sir Charles Trevelyan has won the good will and esteem of the natives by his efforts to lighten the burdens by which they were oppressed under the rule of the East India Company. And yet this is the man whom the new Indian administration is about to sacrifice, simply because he bas had the honesty to give utterance to opinions based upon his personal observation and experience. The fact avgurs badly for the fulfilment of the promises of the proclamation, which pledged itself to » thorough reform in the governmental system of Lydia. South. Neither the advantages wor the dised: | Barbartem at the South and Civilization atthe Herth. In the Henasp of Tuesday we published two remarkable documents, each containing an ar- ray of statements having an important bearing | upon the great social and political questions ef the day. The firet was Mr. Sumner’s elaborate exposition of the barbarism of the South, as developed by the treatment of the slaves in that region; and the other, the papers in the celebrated Burch divorce case, which is shortly to come before the courts of Illinois, and in which “honest old Abe,” as a leader of the bar, may have a brief, or at least a retainer. Mr. Sumner’s review of the history of slave- ry in the South, and the consequent extension of barbaric institutions over the cotton tree, the tobacco plant and the orange grove, isonly important from the exceeding toil which the Senator has evidently gone through with in order to collect every fact, or statement pre- sumed to be a fact, thet could bear against the slave master. It is the crowning work of the abolitionists, who bave been howling and grosping and crying about the negroes any time these five and twenty years, all to make a substratum for the republican party, and to show that our Southern brethren are hopelessly demoralized, and can only be saved by being reduced to utter destitution; while we atthe North ere in a condition of [topian beatitude, and represent all the moral virtues in their most angelic and altogether delightful phases. This is the theory of honest W. H. Seward, honest old Abe Lincoln, honest Henry Wilaon, honest Mr. Trumbull, honest Charles Sumner, and all the savagely virtuous and aw- fully immaculate leaders in the black republican camp. Look—eay these phflosophers, in effect— leok, ob, voters of the North, at the contrast between the oligarchy of the South and your- selves. The Southerner spends nearly all his time in swearing and drinking juleps, the rest of it is employed in whipping and torturing his negroes. He is a barbarian, worse than a Camanche, and his life is in the hand of any man who sees fit to take it. On the other hand, to carry out the parallel, see what pinks of per- fection you have been made by the free instita- tions of the North. Look at the record of di- vorces, elopements and so on, in the Western States. Look at the overcrowded prisons ; the penal hospitals; the long lists of criminals to be tried in the courts; the notorious insecurity of life in the great cities; the work of the knife, the pistol or the slung shot, always in the hand of the free ruffian. Mr. Sumner may direct the attention of the Senate to the fact that large numbers of his constituents appear to be actively engaged in the agreeable occupation of poisoning each other; the Vermont Senators have a similar case wherewith to point their moral, and Mr. Trumbull may point to the revelations of domegtic life among the higher classes of his constituents to show that Illinois is not behind the old States in reproducing alt the elegancies, refinements and proprieties of manner (to say nothing of the absolute de- cencies of life) for which they are dis- tinguished. Some other Senators on the same side of the chamber might make an iastructive speech upon the extremely facile way in which property in the free States is con- veyed from one person to another without ‘any consideration for the transfer, a vast im- provement upon the old fashioned way of doing business, which is still adhered to in the South where they call the new method of carrying out the theory of free institutions, by making free with another's property, by hard names, such as swindling, robbery and the like. No evi- dence could be more conclusive as to the shock- ing ignorance of our Southern brethren than this. They are absolutely a century behind the age, and all owing te their niggers. Here at the North we are all free. The negro is free to starve for all that his friends will do for him. The white man is free to debauch his neighbor's wife; the parson is free to get rid of a disagreeable marriage by poisoning his part- ner; @ person holding a responsible position in the community is free to insult the mother of his children by a series of petty annoyances and emal] meannesses which stand alone in the apnals of domestic broils; scamps are free to swindle the public and go unwhipt of justice; railway directors are free to kill their pasengers—everybody, in fact, is free to make everybody else as un- comfortable as possible. In the barbaric South, where they do not have free institutions, cases of deliberate crime are rave. It bas remained for the civilization of the North to revive all the luxuries of Italy under the Borgias. Is it not a delightful picture, this of the civil- ization of the North! And ought not we to be all very gled that we are not obliged to live in the horrid South, where there are no Sumaers, and where the Hardens, Herseys and so on are scarce? What in the world do. they do for their morning murder and evening crim. con.’ Were it not for the Nortbern papers they would all die of ennui, “Srua. Harvine ox Mr Davowrer.”—We perceive that the “sacred animosity” between Philosopher Greeley and Thurlow Weed has not yet been softened or repressed. The Che- valier Webb and little Raymond have tempo- rarily dried up, but Weed still keeps up the conftict, firing hot shot into Spruce street all the way from Albany. Greeley is not slow at retort, and the war waxes warm. The fact about the whole matter is, however, that al” though the warriors call each other all sorts of names, chiefly bad ones, it is not so much a personal quarrel between Greeley and his opponents as i is the opening ofa grand row which is to be made about the spoils in case honest old Abe suc- ceeds to the possession of the federal vine yard. Weed, Raymond & Co, fear that the skill which Greeley displayed in the slaugh- ter of Seward at Chicago will give him a com- manding position in the event of the success of the republican ticket, in which case they would get only the shells, while Greeley and his friends would eat the oysters, We would not disturb so delightful a family quarrel for the world, but we fear that it is much after the manner of the two cockney sportsmen who fell out concerning some game which they sup- posed they had shot, but which upon examina- tion turned out an ancient coon, some time deceased. It 18 more than probable that honest old Abe will never have an opportu- nity ta distribute the spoils. One or two Sum- ner speeches would kill him as dead as that celebrated coon above mentioned; and as it is: itis very likely that our old friends the republi- can journalists bave had all their quarrels for nothing but that seme old coon. Uncle Abe's chances for Uncle Sam’s property have emall by degrees, and besutifully ah pad eince the nomination. Tur Lave Post Ormox Dxraications.—It ap- pears by statements in some of the papers that avery loose system of keeping accounts has been prevalent ali slong in the General Post Office Department at Washington, by which de- falcations like that of Mr. Fowler's might at any time have been effected.

Such a state of af- On Sectial: Game aaa. faire in the financial arrangements of the Post si ia ee Office Department, one would suppose, could hardly exist without the knowledge of the Se- cretary of the Treasury; and it looks as if Mr. Holt and Mr. Cobb were both either incompe- tent to the proper performance of their duties or ignorant of what was going on around them or they were grossly deceived by their subor- Ginates. In any event it is evident that the money affairs of the General Post Office have been very badly managed. ‘The War Department received thie morning o heavy mail from Banta Fe, New Mexice.

Here is now a defalcation of nearly two hundred thousand dollars disco- vered in the New York Post Office alone, and we will venture to say that, if the whole system were carefully looked into, numerous other de- falcations would be found in other quarters as well, which proves that the mode of managing the affairs of the government at Washington is radically wrong, when the heads of depart- perpetration of frauds which are well known. their subordinates. Yacuts ayp Yacutivo—ApPaTey IN THE Squaproy.—The annual regatta of the New York Yacht Club will be sailed to-day over the old course, from the Elysian Fields to the South- that the number of entries for this race is all, and the only first class sloop in the race is the Rebecca. The Yacht Club is evidently returning to the principles upon which it was It deteriorates instead of advancing, which is very bad sign in « go-ahead like this,and a fast city like New York. Six- E8 favor, plenty of sea room and fair play, are that a yachtsman of spirit desires. A victory gained in sailing over such » course would be well worth having, but the smooth water re- gatta is as tasteless to the yachtsman as it is. dull and uninteresting to the general public. Tar New Post Orrice Srre.—It has been said that the old Dutch church, now occupied by the Post Office, had been purchased by. the government as the site of the new Post Ofiice, but we are strongly disposed to think that this is like the purchase ot the old Brick charch property for a similar purpose, which was re- ported to have been at one time all completed, but which, nevertheless, was receded from. It is probable that the parties interested in the sale of the Dutch church may have made rome Proposals which were not unfavorably received by the government, and they may have thus ima- gined the bargain complete; but we are led to think that such is not the case, from the fact that prodigious efforts are being made in an- other quarter to sell another piece of property to the government tor general purposes, a Post Office included. The last Legislature passed a law authorizing the Corporation to sell the whole of the Park to the general government | for the purpose of erecting thereon a Custom House, a Post Office, and federal courts for this istrict. While there wasa great deal of fuse being made about the bill locating the now City Hall in Madison square, this other bill, authorizing the disporal of the Park. was qui- etly and noiselemly slipped through the Lagis- lature, It would be a far more eligible arrangement to have all the buildings used by the general government located in one place than to have the Post Office in. one part of the city, the Cas- tom House in anocher, and the United States Courts in another. The Park could be most Sppropristely used for this purpose; there is *pace enough for all the buildings required by the general government, and it would be the most cents and convenient location for them. Let the Corporation take the City Hall to Madi- ton park, Union equate, or wherever they please, Union «quare, however, is a much bet- ter lecation for it than Madison park, and the Corporation could not do better than purchase it from the ownens of property there and erect « handsome City Hall upon it. Meantime, we are decidedly of opinion that the purchase of the old Duteh chureb for a Post Office site tsa little premature. ‘Worres Ganu penton was commenced barr om Tuesday, when Mrs Jalla Dean Hayoe commence! a farewell cogegement previous to a European tous, and played Pauline in the “Lady of Lyons,’ supported by Mr. George Jordan, a# Clande, and « fair oust for the other characters.
