The Police Commissioners at their meeting yes- terday received the resignation of patrolman But- terfield, of the Twenty-third precint, which was ac- cepted; also, the report of the House of Detention for the past month, showing an expense incurred of $389. No other business was transacted. The police yesterday arrested a Russian citizen named Ludovie Joachim Julias Tode, formerly of St. Petorsbarg, who is charged with having swin- died the firm of Earle & Co., of Hall, England, to the amount of $75,000, by selling one of their ves- sels and absconding with the proceeds. Tode has been in the United States since November last, and succeeded in eluding both English and American detectives till yesterday, when he was arrested in Broadway. Full particulars of the case are given in another column. The investigation in the case of James R. Carre- ras, O. F. Downs and José 0. Pedrajas, charged with having wilfully cast away the bark E. A.2Kins- man on one of the Bahama Keys, in order to de- fraud the underwriters of the vessel and cargo, was continned yesterday before Justice Connolly, The evidence elicited yesterday was quite interesting, and we therefore give a fu'l report of it in to-day’s paper. The examination will be resumed on Thursday vext. According to the City Inspector's report, there were 624 deaths in the city during the past week, a decrease of 25 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 57 less than occurred during the corresponding week last year. The re- capitulation table gives 1 death of disease of the bones, joints, &c, 102 of the brain and nerves, 4 of the generative organs, 12 of the heart ani blood vessels, 36 of the lungs, throat, &c., 10 of old age, 34 of diseases of the skin and eruptive fevers, 209 of diseases of the stomach, bowels and other di- gestive organs, 52 of general fevers, 8 premature births, 6 of disease of the urinary organs, and 29 from violent causes. The nativity table gives 391 natives of the United States, 73 of Ireland, 36 of Germany, 13 of England, of Scotland, and the balance of various foreign countries. The sales of cotton yesterday were conflued to a few hundred bales, closing without change in quotations. The accounts received from the foath continue to speak an- favorably of the prospects of the present growing crops. Owing to large receipts, with restriction of freight room and tbe Grmoess of ship owners,'be market for bread. stofis was heavy and lower.

The State elections of September in New | England and California, and of October in several of the Southern, Central and Western States, will exercise a more important influence on the coming Presidential elections than they have ever before exhibited, because in the breaking up of the old democratic organization the politicians rely upon them to demonstrate around what set of candidates and principles the people will coalesce. Those which have already taken place. in | North Carolina, Kentucky and Arkansas, have given strong indication of the tendency of public opinion there. The September election takes place in Vermont to-day, in California on the 5th aud in Maine on the 10th. The Vermont election is likely to be, as usual, all one way, and have no political effect outside her own borders; but that of California will exercise some influence on the October elections in Pennsylvania and Indiana. Around that of Maine, however, centres the chief interest of the elections during the present month. This State has been strongly black republi can since the Kansas Nebraska imbroglio. In 1856 Fremont carried the State by 25,000 majo- rity; but this has diminished in the subsequent elections, until last year it reached only 12,000. The break of the democratic organization has diminished the probabilities of overcoming that vote, but both parties are vigorously at work A popular candidate has been brought forward | for Governor, an@ the Congressional districts | | are being canvassed with vigor. It is not | | supposed that the democrats can eleot their | gubernatorial ticket, but they assert that they can can carry three of the six | Congressional districts, which are now all repre | sented by black republicans. If on the eve of | agreat Presidential contest like the present | they can take even one of those districts, it will | be an evidence of weakness on the part of the | abolitionized republicans, and will havea ma | terial effect on the Central States. Maine is one | | of the extreme Northern hotbeds of blick republicanism, and if it cannot hold its own and even do something more, in view of the | divisions among its opponents, it bas a poor | chance in the Central States. The October elections take place in Georgia, | | Mississippi and Florida on the Ist; South Caro- | lina on the *th, and Peansylvania, Ohio, India | na, Minnesota end Iowa on the 9b. Florida | and Mississippi are not contested States, but the result ia Georgia will doubtless exercise aa influence on the Presidential vote in November throughou! the South. But of these elections the most important ts that for Governor in Pennsylvenia. There the conservatives have made « union on Foster, and no one doubts that they will be able to carry the State by a large majority. Some of the bitter Douglas men, under the direction of Forney, who is vealonsly working for the black republicans under a mask, have under- taken to run a straight Dougles ticket fn the hope of defeating the national fusion more- ment. The device ie a weak one, and the echeme ts too clearly seen through to be effect- ive. The election of Foster in Pennsylvania, Wil vie ee eleaipls OF ee Gemeecialies a that State in November. and contribute a very iaportant sid towarde the eame result ia this State. From this surrey of the field before us it will be seen that the national Might is to take place in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, all of which States can be carried agaiust Lincoln and the fanatics by the exercise of a little common sense and & modicum of eelf- abnegation on the part of the politicians. [0 them the national life is strong; they form the “heart of the confederation, for the currents of their industry and trade quicken the prosperity of all the other members. It becomes all in- terests alike here to labor for the one common end; the farmer, merchant, manufacturer, me- chanic, laborer, all are equally interested in defeating the aims of the fanatics, for the issue comes home to the prosperity aud happiness of every fireside, however rich or however humbie it may be. The election of Lincoln would strike a deadly blow at the whole credit of the South, which would react with disas trous energy upon every industry and interesi in the North, and the abolition agitation, which would be étimulated under it, would infallib!, lead us into a civil war. : Tie Recertios or THE Parce ov Wares— Tur Fiemes’s Disriiy.—The reception de- signed for the Prince of Wales, on bis arrival in New York, will be classified under three heads — the grand citizens’ ball, under the auspices of a commitiee comprising the leading represente- tives of worth, wealth and social position in the metropolis; the military review of the finest volunteer soldiery in the world, and the torch- light procession of the firemen, At the bali the citizens of every class will have an op- portunity of seeing the heir apparent to the British throne, in the person of Baron Reufrew. to the best advantage, as that young gentleman seems most at home in the ballroom. The re view of the First Division and the firemen's pro- cession will present spectacles that must delight and aston'sh not only the youthful mind of the Prince, but also the more aged and mature minds of his Mentors and advisers who travel with him. At the present time the voluntecr Movtauiry oy New York.—The tables of mortality for the three summer months just closed exhibit a marked improvement in the public bealth over the corresponding periods of 1056 wand 1859, The deaths by children’s diseases are less by 430 than fn 1858, and by 470 than in 1559. The total decrease of deaths among chil- dren under five years of age is 1,527 under 18538, and 616 under 1859. Amongst adults the de- crease in the deaths from bowel complainte Is 286 under 1858, und 229 under 1859; and from brain diseases 97 under 1858, and 57 under 1869, There is an increase in the ‘deaths amongst foreigners of 165 over 1858, and of 332 over 1859; but this fs to be accounted for by the fact that there is a larger immigration this yeur tban there was in the last two. Notwith- standing this item, the decrease in the total number of deaths inthe three summer months of 1860 bas been 1,168 under 1858, and 730 un- der 1859. This gratifying result is ina great degree ow- ing to the attention paid by the City Inspector to sanitary police measures. Dumping grounds have been removed from the more thickly populated wards; manure heaps and accumula- tions ef filth have been probibited in sta- bles where a number of horses are kept; a close supervision has been maintained over sinks and vacant lots; dead carcasses have been promptly removed from the public tho- roughfares; the markets bave been daily visited and decayed and unwholesome provisions sent ont of the city, and, curlous to say, notwith- standin; large decrease in the expense for the cleaning of streets, they have been kept in a wuch more satisfactory condition than usual. Much, bowever, remains to be done to bring the mortality of New York down to the poiat to which ecleatific men are of opinion it is sus- ceptible of being reduced. At present, accord- ivg to a Jate return published by the London Times, the average deaths per weck in the two cities, making allowance for the disparity of population, would show a difference in favor of New York of about two per cent. With the su- perior advahtages that we possess, in the way of drainage and healthinees of situation, this per centage ought to be at least four times larger, military system is undergoing an experiment io England—an experiment full of interest, and it may be of vital importance to the safety of the empire, and such a display of a purely yolun- teer organization as our First Division can pre- sent, comprising from six to nine thousaad men, thorovgbly disciplined, and filled with mititary ardor and esprit du corps, cannot fail to farnish any statesman with material for thought, and impress him with feelings of deep admiration. So it may be safd of the volunteer firemen’s turnout, which will probably number fire thon- sand men, in almost as high a state of military discipline as the soldiery—all skilled in the use of arms, obedient to command, andanimated with a devotion to their country as ardent as their courage and as admirable as their daring and disregard of danger. These are some of the valuable lessons which the Prince and the statesmen who accompany him are to learn in the United States. But in order to render the firemen’s display thoroughly effective it will be neccesary to adopt the same plan as that carried out in the Japa- neee reception—namely, that the strects should be kept clear for them from curb to curb, in er- der to give them an opportunity to march with precision and display their strength and onom- bers with proper effect. This privilege is al- ways accorded to the military, and it should be the duty of the city authorities to see that it is accorded to the firemen on this occasion, If this be done the firemen’s parade will present the grandest sight of the kind which any city in the world can produce. Goverson Baxks Annoan.—It is stated in some of the Boston papers that Governor Banks intends to go to Furope on behalf of the great corporation, the Dlinois Central Railroad Com- pany, with which he will be connected after the Ist of January, 1861. It is understood that Governor Bank= goes abroad to offer facilities to immigrants from the Old World, and to ia- duce them to settle ia Mlinois on the line of the Central road. The scheme isa f ie one. There are thovsands of small farmers in Kog- land, Ireland, France and Germany who would gladly immigrate to the United States were they once assured that they conld have a good title to a good farm at a small price, and be protected from swindlers of all sorts en yowle. Governor Banks is precisely the person to ar- range a system under which the immigrant may travel as safely and comfortably from Bromen, or Cork, or Havre, or Liverpool, to Chicago, as from one place to another in his native land. The results of such a systent would be manifold. The country in general would be bene- fitted by an influx of hardy agriculturists and skilful mechanics, the State of [ili- nois will gain in wealth and population, and the stockholders of the Lilinofs Central will have occasion to bless the happy day when the Governor's services were secured to them. We are quite confident that Governor Banks has been wise in separating himself from a party | organization in which all the leading men are | | overslaughed, and the Lincolns and Weeds re- | ceive the honors and material rewards of suo- cess, and we fully believe that the statesman of Massachusetts will find a still wider field of usefulness in the prairies of the West than any | Which could have been afforded bim by politi- cal station, however exalted. And if, at some future day, Governor Banks should be called to the first office in the people's gift, his expe- rence as a railway director will in no way dis- qualify him for the duties which devolve upon the chief magistrate of the nation. Ovn Disetay ov Horsertmen Ture Fatu— The watering places are giving up thelr vist- tants out of the vortex of dissipation and fri- volily which held them fn thrall durtag the summer months, and they are pouring into the! city by thousands. Their retura ix the signal for a tranefer from one kind of amusement to another. The theatres and the Opera will now claim the homage of the pleasure seekers at night; but there is one species of amusement which more than any other will be seized upon by daylight, and that is the delightful and saln- tary pastime of horse viding and driving. At no previous time were the drives and roads about the city more resplendent with grand equipages and fine borses than they will be this fall. If the Central Park had redeemed ite pro- mises and afforded that length of drive and shade which it ought to do at the present time, the display would of course be finer; but even as it Is, euch drives sa onr suburban roads afford will be alive with equipages and specimens of bod Lal pau handy be equalled. and undoubtedly would be were our sanitary regulations and police as stringent as those of London. Still we must be thankful for the im- provement which the last quarter manifests. Were the present City Inspector efficiently seconded by the other authorities we have no doubt that he would soon exhibit a result muca more favorable than that to which we heve drawn attention. Orn Srereciepive axp Surprwe Trave--A few years ago the shipbuilding trade received anextraordinary impetus, and the tonnage of this country almost exceeded that of Eogland. Our shipbuildiog was then in a high state of activity; but of late England has gone con- siderably ahead of ns. For a year past busl- ners has been falling off in our shipyards to euch an extent that they were aimost deserted, no work at all being in progress; but within tbe past few months a wonderful reaction has been experienced. The stocks of the various shipyards are being filled, freights have gone up considerably; in fact, the demand for ships exceeds the supply. The shipping business te California, te China and to Europe is in a pros- perous condition. No doubt much of this is the result of our abundant harvests, coupled with the prospective necessities of Europe for Ame- rican breadstuffs in the event of a scarcity there, which is now more than probable, owing to the partial fallure of the crops in Great Britain and Ireland. It is past peradventure that the reason why England got in advance of us in tonnage was because she built more propellers than we did, and hence sbe was better able to fill the de- mand. Canvass is too slow an agent for packet ehips these times; commerce is pressing hard upon the heels of steam, and it crust eventually adopt the quicker agency. Therefore, if we are to keep pace with other maritime nations, we must devote ourselves to building propellers in lien of sailing vessels, and when we do that we shall have the largest amount of tonnage sailing under the American flag of any nation transversing the seas. Cur is tm Metrorons.—The calendar of the September term of the Court of General Sessions, which commenced its sittings yester- day, is the largest that it has ever had to dis. pose of. There are 165 prisoners in the Tombs awaiting trial on various charges, there being nine for murder, whilst the number of persons charged with offences, indicted or at large on ball, swells the list to 692; and this, notwithstanding that at the last term upwards of one hundred prisoners were sentenced by the Recorder. This pleasant catalogue affords the best proof that can be offered of the utter inade- quacy of the present police system to the wante of our cliy. Tbe policy of criminal legislation {s prevention rather tha punisli- ment, and were the police force sufficient both in numbers and discipline for the protection of the public, that policy would be carried out to the full extent to which it is practicable. Under a system, however, which gives only one | patrolman toa beat of a mile and a quarter, snd which is notoriously lax in ite organiza- on, it can never have « fair trial, So long as the police force is made up of such elements as it ts at present composed of, and the require ments of discipline are lost sight of in conside- rations foreign to it, we must be resigned to find the calendars of the criminal conrts con. staatly increasing in extent and enormity. Tux Ciwratux Cowmescen ix Kanveer— With the cool breezes of September we have a general revival among all classes of our citi gets, and more expecially are the poli ticions beginning to be aronsed. The fact that only sixty days intervene be tween the present time and the date of the election, and that recent eveuts have created Some doubts as to the isane of the contest, hay aromee:! the orators of all parties. Mr. Douglas is making a tovr throngh the Sonth, and, ac- cording to all accounts, finds thousands of en- thuslastic supportora. His ancient ad 5 Mr. Seward, the Corfolaans of his purty, has, in epite of ite ingratitude, placed himself in the front of the battle, and while the “Little Giant” is stumping the South, the high priest of the higher law and the irrepressible conflict is in the West fighting the battles of the party he created. It is to be hoped that the New York will keep the “ Massachusetts school” perbaps, succeed im defeating Old Abe, by whose friends Seward was so cruelly saubbed at- Chicago. It isa good sign for the opposition when W. H. Seward takes the stump. — Reemrratioy or Marriaces.—The circvlar isened in May last from the City Lnspector’s office, calling upon ministers and physicians to comply with the law for the tion of mar’ riages, does not seem to have met with mnoh attention. The law was passed im 1853, when the population of the city was about six hun- dred thonsand, and in the month. ot October of that year there were 1,778 births and 618 marriages. The Ia number re- turned since was for the month of June last, when there were registered 392 marriages and 1,828 births, showing a falling off in marriage registrations of twenty per cent, and -in births of thirty per cent. ‘This result, so far as the marriage returns are concerned, is attributed by the department to the opposition offered to the law by the Catho- lic clergy. The ministers of other churches give it but a partial support, for they naturally feel reluctant to obey a regulation which the clergy of another denomination may comply with or not, as it suits their convenience. Medi- cal men have evinced more readiness to obey the law. The retuens of births for July last exhibit an increase of 420 over the July of the preceding year, though atill ehowing a falling off of 553 over the record of 1853. The question now arises whether we are to allow an enactment, the civil advantages of which cannot be disputed, to be practically nul- lified by the refusal of the Catholic or any other sect or clergy to comply with its provisions. Inno country but in Ireland has such an exemp- tion’ been ever tolerated, and that example can hardly be cited asa justification of the course of Archbishop Hughes, When the Legislature meets this question will have to receive further consideration, and the law will either have to be repealed or rendered so stringent as to in- sure obedience to it. It would be better to have no law of registration at all than to keep one on the statute books which is practically noperative. ‘Tux Secrer ov Tax Ixia War iy Urau.—It will be remembered that we have always taken the ground that the difficulties between the sct- tlers in Western Utah and the Pahb-Ute Indians grew out of unwarrantable aggressions on the part of the former upon the natural rights of the latter. To sustain this theory we had on our side nearly all the historical exam- plese, from the King Philip war down to the Oregon disturbances, five or six years ago, There was, likewise, the testimony of several unprejudiced witnesses of the events which led to the battle at Pyramid Lake. Wo bave now the evidence of Colonel Lander, who has been employed in the important govern- ment survey in California and Utah, Colonel Lander’s command has encountered the hostile In@fans and defeated them, and he reports that “the war can be closed, and the Pab-Utes ren- dered friendly, by paying them for their lands, now occupied by white settlers.” This opin- fon—one which we have held all along—has now been officially confirmed. It is the old story—aggressions on the part of the whites, unprovoked assaults upon the Indians, and then a preconcerted attempt to work up an Indian war, in order to get fat contracts for army supplies. That game has been tried often enough. It is time now that the government officers gave the Indians fair play. That done, we shall have no further trouble with them. Tus New Su.ver Mives w Urau.—The first considerable shipment of silver ore from the Washoe mines was received at this port on Sunday, by the Northern Light. There were six bundred bags of this ore, valued at over one hurmired thousand dollars—a modest sum when compared with the very large stories which have been told about the new mines, but still enough to show that there is something in them. If the yield of silver from the Arizona and Utah mines sbould equal the expectations which have been justified by preliminary discoveries, we shall have another revolution in the relative values of the precious metals. The Californian and Australian gold deposits came near to making silver the more valuable of the two metals, because of its rarity; but the newly discovered silver deposits will bring values back to thefr former condition. The discovery of the Utah and Arizona mines has been most fortunate, as it came directly at the time when a supply of silver was needed for the East Indian and China trade. AcaneMy oF Memc—D our Nam or THe S£asov—The opera season commenced last night under the most faror- able auspices, The theatre has been put in the best order, thoroughly renovated and freshesed im cyery part. The public has alroady{been made acquainted with the fact ‘that the directors of the Academy have combined all the Artistic talent at present im the city, and that they havo thercby secured a troupe of unrivalled excellence. They will be Chabled to give during the season all tho bert operas, serious and gomic, of the modern repericir:, and from present appearaliiéé their oxertions will be fally appreciated and rewarded by the public. The Academy on Iaat night was well filled by a mixed nudience, Here and there a few habitues might be seen, bot ag 8 rule it wae a strangers’ house, and one ia which our Southera brethren bad a clear majority. The opera was the “Sonnambula,” with Adelina Patti, Errani and Amodio.
