At the meeting of the Emigration Commissioners yesterday the subject of Dr. Jerome’s desire to ob- tain possession of the hospital ship as physician, and the course pearsued by hjm in suing the Board, came up, and was discussed in a conversational or informal manner. Commissioner Purdy thought that Dr. Jerome might as well be allowed to take charge of the business of the Board altogether as obtain the concessions he desired. Commissioner Carrigan considered the Doctor desired to have possession of the hospital ship Falcon, though the Commissioners never had possession of it them- He had no objection to the Doctor ob- AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING.

The Police Commissioners met yesterday, but transacted no business of general interest. ‘The beef cattle market yesterday was considera- bly strengthened by a falliag off in the receipts, and prices advauced half a cent per pound. The droyers were considerably excited in consequence of the advance in the rates of freight, which is to take effect on Saturday next, and some assert that it will ‘Kill their business.’ Milch cows were steady. Veal calves were firm, being in limited supply. Sheep and lambs were without material change. Swine were plenty, but active, and jc. higher. The total receipts (exclusive of Bergen Hill) were—3,504 beeves, 129 cows, 537 veals, 11,013 sheep and lambs, and 4,567 swine. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced 1,000 bales. The market closed without change in prices. The re- ceipts at the ports since the 1st of September last have reached 4,476,000 bales, against 3,711,000 in 1869 and against 8,079,000 in 1858. The exports for the same pe- riod bave reached 3,740,000 bales, against 3,001 000 in 1859, and 2,582,000 in 1858. The stock on hand embraced 150,000 bales, against 104,000 in 1859, and against 80,000 in 1858. The flour market was again firmer, especially for commoa and medium grades, with a steady export demand, Wheat was firm and tolerably active, with a fair export demand, closing at better ‘prices for good to we lots. Corn was active and firmer, with free sales, closing at an advance of 1 cent to 1}; cent per bushel. In yesterday's edition we gave the shipments of wheat made this year, or since the Ist of September Iast, to Great Britain and ire land, compared with those made in the preceding years of 1859, 1888 and 1857, based upon the figures given in the circular of one of our oldest and most ex- Perienced flour and grain brokers, in which a typographi- cal error had occurred. The exporta of wheat to Great Britain and Ireland, since the Ist September Iast, have reached 4,536,661 els (and not 536,661, a8 printed in the circular), against 426,649 in 1850, 6 384,017 in 1853, and 7,413,543 in 1857. Though largely in excess of last year, the amount is still under the exports for the same period in 1858 and 1857. Pork was firm for prime, and closed dull for new mess, sales of which were made at $19 625;, with sales of new prime at $14 25, and a lot, heavy, at $14 37!;. Sugars were unchanged, with sales of about 800 hhds. and 600 Loxes, at rates given in another column.

As is usual in our political campaigns, the poets are again busy with politics: but this time they can find nobody to sing their effusions. To help them out, we give to-day a compilation of the rhymes, songs and doggerel of party en- thusiasm, from which our readers will gather some idea of the utter confusion in which the politicians and the poetical muses find them. selves. Poetry is usually the fulminating powder of & campaign, and it is one of the significant pre- monitions of the present canvass that it will not go off. The songs do not take with the clubs, nor the clubs with the people: proces- sions, banners, flags, torches and transparen- cies are all looked upon as bores, and as things that will not pay.

Under these circumstances, the political can- vags now going on is unlike any we have ever before seen; for while it is apparently a lifeless one, it promises to be one of the most effec- tive that has been witnessed. The doubt and perplexity exist only among the politicians, and it isthe gravity of the crisis that imposes ita solemnity upon the people. Although there are no noisy demonstrations, there is evidently a deep determination among the people to go to the polls, and the November election will exbibit a far larger vote than has ever before been called out. The latent conservative ele- ment, which is rarely aroused, now sees that it holds the balance of power between the fac- tions, and that it can use it for the good of all; and it will so use it. This vote amounts fully to one million, and three-fourths of it will, no doubt, be cast at the November election. One result is already evident from this state of af- fairs. The defeat of Lincoln, and the fanatical Northern sectionalists who hoped to triumph with him, is certain. But a still greater result will flow from the present election. The defeat of all the factions and sectionalists will be the initiation of a new era of national statesman- ship, in which the affairs of the Union will be directed and administered by higher views than those of the interests of local sections, and the politicians will learn the important lesson that something more than ability to govern a ward meeting or guide a county canvass is requisite on the floor of our national Congress, and in the administration of our national affairs. “ New York—Tue Prosrecr.”—The Tribune of yesterday has a singularly absurb article under the above caption. According to the philosophers of Spruce street, Lincoln will carry this State by not less than fifty thousand voves—a result which is quite as extraordinary as the fgures which have been manufactured to produce it. Three-fourths of the “whig and American vote” are claimed for Lincoln in the first place, and then it is “assumed” that half of this vote is certain for the republican candi- date. We have next a magnanimous allowance of ten thousand Seward republicans who will not vote for Lincoln. All this is utterly ab- surd, and the Tribune argues the matter as it wishes it to be, rather than as itis. The fact is that the opposition to Lincoln in this State is becoming more and more powerful every day, that the vote will be unprecedentedly large, and that the republicans will be beaten. Should the whole vote of the State reach six or seven hundred thousand, at least two-thirds of it will be given in opposition to Lin- coln, and his defeat is inevitable. The Tribune, for its own purposes, misrepre- sents the position of the Union party, and attempts to maintain the old lines of poli- tical demarcation. These have ceased to exist. We are no longer whigs, democrats or Ameri- cans, but we are conservative Union men, de- termined to rebuke the pestilent theories of the Helpers and Sewards at the polls. The country is now in nearly the same position that it was in 1862. Then the democratic party was split upon similar issues to those by which it is now divided, and the opposition was united. The debates in Congrees in 1850 reacted upon the conservative masses, who gave their sup- port to poor Pierce, and the country declared almost unanimously in his favor. Gen. Scott was beaten, not by the democratic party, but by the Union men, who were afraid to trust Scott, believing tat his administration would be under the thumb of W. H. Seward. The Union movement to-day is stronger than it was in 1850, as it is now open and above board, and working on its own account. We intend to bring out at least a hundred thousand votes from that class of men who have no special party affiliation, but who will support the Union ticket with all their might. The Tribune will remember, too. that en the last occasion when the opposition was united and vigorous the republicans lost the State. They regained it again because their party drill is perfect, and because there were no particular pains taken to beat them. The republicans have been organized since 1851, and have had more or less power ever since; but even now, with a divided opposition, they claim but twen- ty thousand as their real majority in this State. The Tribune states that this will be doubled, whea there is no doubt that the Union move- ment will obliterate it altogether, and put the figures on the other side of the books. Every day the Union men gain adherents, not the Scroggses and professional politicians of the same order, but the real bone and sinew of the country. The republicans know this, and quake in their shoes over the real prospect, which is that Lincoln will be defeated by an overwhelm ing majority. What does the Hon. Massa Gree ley say to this view of the “prospect!” ' Tue Graxp Bat, vor tHe Peter or Wates.—We publish in another columa a cor- rected list of the general committee of citizens having in charge the entertainment of the Prince of Wales during his sojourn in the me- tropolis. The sub-committee, now at Montreal, | bave arranged with the Duke of Newcastle that | @ grand ball in honor of the Prince shall be | given on the 12th October; and it is now re- quisite that the general committee should pro- ceed to arrange for the affair, which will undoubtedly be an exceedingly brilliant one. There is a very general desire that the prelimi- naries of this matter should be given to the public at the earliest possible moment, and we suggest that a meeting of the general committee should be immediately convened, in order that the details may be placed in proper hands. The entire responsibility of the affair rests upon the gentlemen of the committee, and we have no doubt that they will be quite equal to it, and that the ball will be in every way suc- cessful and creditable to the city. Tur Rear Issve or rue Camrarey,——It should be distinctly understood that the real issue of the Presidential campaign is not to be found in the party platforms or the party organs. The platforms are made from the weakest timber that can be found, and the partisan editors blow hot or cold, as the party exigencies dic- tate. The real issue of the campaign is to be found only in the black republican documents— the Helper book, the speeches of Seward, Sumner, Lovejoy and others—which have been ecattered all over the North and West during the last three or four years. Read these docu- ments and speeches if you would have the real issue of the campaiga, , THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1860. TavrLow Wren anp Tur Recency.—Thurlow Weed complains, with tears in his eyes, that the Atlas and Argus is making advances to the H»xatp, Thurlow may dry up bis tears. There is no occasion for them. We are perfectly well aware of the character of the Cagger-Richmond concern, and are not likely to be deceived by anything emanating from it. But bad as the Argus Regency is, we think it might not be atraid to endure a comparison with Thurlow Weed. Thurlow, according to his own confes- sion, has been king of the Albany lobbymen for the last quarter of a century. Theré has scarcely been a session of the Legisla- ture in which he might not, he says, have made a large amount of money. He does not, however, inform us how much he actually did make, although some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the sum by the fact of his refusal to receive fifty per cent of a claim of $1,200,000 against the State. What per centage did this ravenous lobby chieftain de- mand? He confesses, also, to having frequent- ly rejected proffers of large amounts of money for his influence on the Legislature, but de- clines to tell us that he had accepted larger amounts for his influence on the opposite side. And, finally, he gives us an inkling of the policy which he pursued, by volunteering this piece of information, that the way to make money was in opposing schemes of legislation. On the whele, therefore, we are inclined to think that Thurlow has rather the advantage of the Regency in successful operations. They may be corrupt, but he is contemptible, Both richly deserve watching, and we will continue to keep a bright lookout for them. Cost ov tur Recertion or THe Privce or Wass at Montreat.—There is a good old say- ing to the effect that they who dance must pay the piper, and our neighbors across the Cana dian frontier will have as round a bill for the entertainment of the Prince of Wales (they are very dear, those princes,) as we incurred for the entertainment of the Japanese, The graug ball alone cost forty-six thousand dollars, which is but little less than the sum expended for the grand Oriental and Aldermanic affair at the Metropolitan; and it seems probable that the loyal citizens of Montreal will be put in for a hundred thousand dollars at least. Of course this is not an outlay without return. The city haa been crowded with visiters from all parts of Canada and the States. They will leave a good deal of money behind them, and in addi- tion to this, the Montreal people will enjoy the moral and mental satisfaction of having done the thing well. They have had a good time of it themselves, and have no doubt succeeded in entertaining their future sovereign ina right royal way. On such occasions as that of the Prince's visit—and they occur very rarely—a liberal policy is always best, and we believe that our people do not object to the expenditure of a hundred thousand dollars for the entertainment of the Japanese. There has been a very loud call, however, for the items of the expenditures on account of our Oriental guests, and we learn that that call is to be responded to. At the next session of the Common Council, to be commenced on the 3d proximo, the bills are to be presented, when they will become the.pro- perty of the public. Having been duly passed upon and reduced, if excessive, these accounts must be squared, as the city cannot repudiate its obligations. When the Prince of Wales comes here be is to be received by the Mayer and citizens’ committee, who will undoubtedly expend very nearly as much upon him as the Aldermen laid out upon the Japanese Embassy. The only difference will be that the Prince’s ball will be a grand affair, while the Japanese crush was not a very creditable concern. Conrvrtion ty THE State Le@isLatvrRE—How to Avate Iv.—The Tribune's plan, set forth in its yesterday's issue, to publish lists of all the foul projects voted for in the last ‘ture, with the yeas and nays thereon, without regard to the party politics of the voters, has our entire approval, and will, we trust, be carried into operation by journals of every complexion till the day of election. It is for the interest of the whole people to break down the cerrupt and corrupting lobby in which Thurlow Weed, by his own showing, plays such a part, and to elect honest men to represent them and take control of the State treasury, without regard to their political opinions. Higherto the two Al- bany Regencies—the republican, with Thurlow Weed at the head, and the democratic, with Dean Richmond for leader—have controlled between them every job that has passed the Legislature for the last few years. Let these jobbing machines be broken up by the ex- posure of their rascality, and let the people of all parties be emancipated from their despotic and deadly grasp. They are each an imperium in imperio—a clique within the party—a power behind the throne greater than the throne it. self—and they play into each other's hands, according to a well known understanding to divide the spoils. Their politics are only hum- bug and sham, and merely used as a means to an end, and that end is the plunder of the peo- ple, at whose amazing credulity they langh in their sleeves. Ovr Goversmext No Govennwent.—So far as the foreign affairs of the country are con- cerned, our government has been reduced to such a condition of passiveness that it can hard- ly be called a government at all. In Mexico, where we have such heavy interests at stake, aud where just now those interests are in peril, the action of Congress has so fettered the hands of the President that the only thing he can do is to attempt a demonstration, which, in all pro- bability, will amount to nothing. In Nicaragua Walker is about to make another filibustering foray, without our government being able to take any steps to prevent bim. In Syria we occupy ihe same humiliating position, being the only great maritime Power which has not sent vessels of war there for the protection of its citizens. For all this we have to thank the spirit of party, which, prefers ty attainment of its own selfish objects to the maintenance of the interests and honor of the country. Tue Covstny Sark at Last.—We hasten to congratulate the supporters of Mr. Lincoln npon the accession to their ranks of the great Gustavus—General Guftavus Adolphus Seoroggs—Seroggs, of Know Nothing fame— Serdggs, the veritable and only original, who, with fifty-nine followers, has marched, bag and b drums beating and colors flying, into the nck republican ‘mp. Hon. Mane Gree. fey, Navies ge Ss may make his mind easy about < rm te AR Tur Latest Case of Powreicac Monaurry.— We perceive that the black republican organ which is so celebrated for its youthful sympa- thies and the nevigation of the Mincio bas worked itself into a dangerous state of virtuous indignation over the arrangements for the union in this State of all the conservative Union men, with a view to the defeat of Lincoln and the overthrow of the sectional party which seeks to augment the ranks of the fanatics who are endeavoring to ruin the country. The cry of bargain and ale, “political corruption,” and 60 on, comes with charming grace from a party organ which bas been notorious for its menda- city. It is like the pickpocket who seeks to divert attention from himself by mingling in the crowd and crying “stop thief” at the top of hia voice. It will not do, however. The profi- gacy and corruption of the black republican lobby at Albany and Washington are too well known, and the hypocritical pretensions of the organs of Weed, Matteson & Co. amouat to nothing, and have no weight with the people. The Union movement is going on. No power can arrest it now. Look out for the ide= of No- vember. —_—Ee NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Our Special Washington Despatch, Wasaintos, August 29, 1360.
