The steamer Lady Elgin left Chicago at a late hour on the previous evening, bound for Lake Superior, with between three and four bundred passengers, including a large party of excursionists, There was music and dancing on board, and about two o'clock in the morving, while the festivities were going on, a Behooner came in collision with the steamer, da- maging the latter to such an extent that she sunk ia half ao hoar. There appears to have been no ade- quate life-saving apparatus or boats on board the steamer, and it is therefore not at all surprising that of the three or four hundred passengers, only fifty-seven are known to be saved. The names of the survivors are given in our telegraphic account of the disaster, together with a statement of the clerk of the boat, giving brief particulars of the catastrophe. The Breckinridge and Douglas factions of the Wew York democracy have arrangeda programme for a fusion in opposition to the republicans. ‘he details ofthe arrangement we give in another col- oma. Mr. Seward arrived at Kalamazoo, Michigan, at two o'clock yesterday morning, where, notwith Standing the unseasonable hour, he was met by companies of Wide Awakes and a considerable body of citizens, and escorted to his quarters. Later in the day Mr. Seward addressed the people. With the exception of the expression of an irre- pressible desire to visit Kansas, which he styled the « Saratoga of Freedom,” and some remarks rather complimeatary to the supporters of his ‘ excellent friend, Mr. Douglas,"’ his speech contamed no new * points. Mr. Donglas addressed the democracy of Old Berks, at Reading, Pa., yesterday. The principal topics of his discourse were Breckinridge, disunion and the fusion movement. An abstract of his re- roarks may be fognd elsewhere in our colamns, The Prince of Wales held a levee at Toronto yes- ferday morning, and in the evening attended the Daristers’ ball, but the balance of the programme of the day's demonstration was postponed. It was Riven out that the postponement was on account of the rainy weather, bu’ in reality it was caused by & revival of the Orange difficulties. A flag of the Order was displa ong the paraphernalia when the Prince lande , and the Duke of Newcastle immediate!y entered ‘nto an angry correspondence with the city authorites, charging them with deceit and treachery in violating the agreement respect Ing the display of Oreage colors. It was under- stood, however, that the matter was subsequently Grranged in some way, . nd that the demonstrations will proceed. The steamship Vanderbilt saJed from this port yesterday for Southampton and Havre, with 210 passengers and $1/,216 in specie. The City of Baltimore also sailed from this port yesterday for Liverpool, with 203 passengers and $384,077 in pecie—making a total shipment of $1,198,893, against $1,200,000 shipped om the corresponding ay of last year. The telegraph announces that Sir George Simp- son, Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, died ft Lachine, Canada, on Friday morning last. The United states revenue cutter McClelland sailed from this port yesterday for the Gulf of Mexico to join the « iron of observation before Vers Crux.

Sugar was steady, with sales of About 1,000 bhds, and 2,300 boxes.

A British ship was chartor- ed for Ginsgow to toad with wheat, at Ldd., in abip's bags, wad with flour at 4s. Further Expoundings et Black HRepub- Meanism by Sewari—War on Slavery in the states, ‘ We published yesterday a truthful re port of Senator Seward’s epeech at Lun sing, Michigan, where he throws gf all disguise aud proclaims that the true issue sustained by the black republican purty is the destrustion of elavery in every State in the Union. The epeech which Mr. Seward made at Detroit was irtended for the whole country, and there- fore it was cautiously elaborated; the radical and revolutionary sentiments it contained were put ia the form of generalities, and after being carefully pruned and polished it was furnished simultaneously to the whole press. After ite delivery the Senator proceeded on his North- western tour, to make the less guarded and more effective declarations of black repub- lican policy to local audiemgmp before which no coneealments were neceasary. We have frequently denounced the black republi can system of party agitation, which is to make the most violent abolition speeches and decla rations in the rural districts, and then moderate their expressions or deny them altogether wher brought before a national audience, or cate- chised by opponents in the halls of Congress. We have now determined to follow these revolu- tionary agitators into ‘he rural districts, and by our special reporters, and the unlimited use o/ the electric telegraph, cost what it may, to epread in the columns of the Heraxp their local declarations of revolutionary policy and civil war as widely before the whole nation as we have done with the more guarded addresses of their orators and representatives. By our en- terprise and determination in this reapect we can and will place the issue of the present criti- cal contest before the whole people. Here is the issue stated by Wm. H. Seward:— It has beeu always my policy to take care that evory new State should be a free State, and I will favor as long as I can, within the limits of constitutional action, tne decrease and diminution of African slavery in all the States. That is the whole question. What is this “constitutional action” by which it is propored to carry out the “decrease and di minution of African slavery in all the States?” Mr. Seward shows it very plainly. He points to the handful of madmen, with a few pikes and *pears, carrying “the oldest, the proudest, and once the greatest leading federal State in the Union,” to the verge of servile war; to the ex- citement in Kentucky and Tennessee caused by a few abolitionists; and to the incendiary teach- ings and murderous promptings now going on among the slaves in Texas, which he character- izes by the mild appellation of “slavery being brought into debate among a portion of her citizens.” Here he painte bow much may be done by a few citizens if not interfered with. But, says Mr. Seward, the army and navy of the United States are brought, unconstitutionally, to bear against them. What do we maintain this army and navy for? aske Mr. Seward; and here is his his own words. Let every citizen read them and ponder:— In order that slaves may not escape from the slave States into the free, apd beprbeme ped pare ete peg in the free States may not enter and introduce civll war into the slave States, and because that, if we provoke « foreign enemy, the ‘Southern fronticr is exposed to inva sion Engiand, France and Spain. That is the whole object of our army and navy. Entertaining these views, he declares that the first constitutional act which should be per- formed to diminish slavery in all the Southern States, and that it is his duty “as a patriot,” is to do away with the army and navy of the United States, in crder that it shall not pre- vent freed slaves from introducing civil war into the slave States, or resist invasion from England, France or Spain, on the Southern frontier. This is the Hartford Convention doctrine of “the Massachusetts school; it ie treason of the blackest dye; it is thorough- geing, open-faced, black republicanism. This ie what Mr. Seward says “one single adminis- tration will settle finally and forever,” if Abrabam Lincoln is elected President. Let tbe vational men of New York consider this truthful exhibition of black republicaniem by its leading orator and expounder. Let every patriotic American contemplote the “brutal and bloody” conflict which these demagoguee would inaugurate in our midst, and then ask himself what is his duty ae a citizen and a patriot.

We have thie morning the painful task of an nouncing another fearful steamboat disaster, by which between three aud four bunired lives are supyored to huve been lost, ‘The circum stances, eo far as they have reached ue by telegraph, are these:—The steamer Lady E cio, of the Lake Superior live, left Chie go on Fri- dsy evening, and off Waukegan wae run into by the schooner Augusta aud sunk, only 6 7e0- teen persons being known to have been saved The accident occurred about half-past two in the morning, the schooner going at the time at the rate of about eleven miles an hour. There were three military and several fire comp snies on board, and among the persons 64/4 to be Jos are Colénel Lumsdea, of the New Orleau Picayune, and the son of the proprietor of the London Mustrated News, but lately arrived in this country. Ot course, in the absence of any definite de tails, it is ixapossible to pronounce an opinion as to where the blame of this dreadful occur rence lies. That there must have been gross carelessness on the part of the officers of either or both vesselsis, however, evident. Had the sailing regulations in regard to the exhibition of light= been adhered to, we do not see how such an accident could have bappened. The season of the year is not one in which the deuseness of » fog could be pleaded as an excuse for detec tive vision in regard to lights, supposing them to have been displayed, and we are, therefore forced to the conclusion either that they were not -hown at all, or that @ proper watch was not kept up on board the echooner. It is only the occurrence of terrible calami- ties of this sort thet will enforce attention to the necessity of providing against the davgers of negligence at sea by the passage of revere enactinents. Whenever an accident involving loss of life to any extent takes place from thir cause, there is usually 8 good deal said and written about it; but beyond an occasional feeble effort to ini duce araendments in the existing laws, and which fails because no grea moneyed interest is rallied to ite support, nothing is done in relation to it. And yet there is no eubject of legislation, one would suppose, that would sooner enlist the sympathies of a great commercial and tra- velli.g community. 3 If the citizens of New York do not speedily exhibit a little more energy in this connection we shall have one of these dreadful disasters brought home to us. A condition of things «x- ists in our immediate waters which is pregaant with some wholesale catastropbe. For example, there is not a Sunday passes that we do not ex- pect to hear of some accident involving as ex- tensive a loss of life as that which has just occurred on Lake Michigan. The reckless man ner in which the owners of the Staten [sland boats pack their vessels with haman must one of these days inevitably lead to it. Were a sudden panic to occur amongst the pas- sengers nothing could save them from destruc tion. We all know how easily terror is infused into a crowd of heipless women and children thus cooped up. It suffices but the slightes! alarm to deprive them of all seif porses- sion, and to induce them to do just the very thing they should avoid uoder euch circumstances, The Union Ferry Company are obnoxious to a similar censure. Beiween the hours of five and seven their Fulton street boats present just the same circumstances of danger. We have seen them at these hours #0 densely thronged that there was not space even for the plissengers to turn about in a standing posture. We believe ourselves thai the existing laws are sufficient for the suppressionof these abuses. The trouble, however, is that those entrusted with their administraticn will not enforce them, eitber from indifference to the public safety or from collusion with the weniisy companies who are interested in maintaining (' > present state of things. But if the law be aot sufficiently stringent to reach effenders and to compel the authorities to do their duty, it is the business of Congress and of the State Legislatures to render it so. The enforcement of penalties against public officers as well as against delin quents has been found to work well abroad Surely such wholesale calamities as that which we record to dey plead sufficiently strong to our legislators to induce them to bestow 4 emall share of their attention on a matter so vital to the safety of the travelling public. Tur Pourmcat Crigres ayo Comurrrzes at Work.—-For some days past a set of politt- cians have bf on holding meetings at the Astor flonse, the St. Nicholas aad different other parte of the city, and bave been travelling round bitber and thither, to Washington and Albany, bargaining and trading, and plotting and hag- gling about the unicn electoral ticket, just ax if they bad votes to cast for that ticket, or re- presented the great mass of the voters of the State who are in favor oi it. These men come from all quarters of the State, and assume, some of tem, to be the Sreckiaridge Committee, some the Douglas Committee, and some the Ret itee. There are Cagger and Rich- Q Green, McMohon and the Lord knows who -a set of peddling politicians, pre- tending to represent the people of this State in the present crisis. But no #mali politi- cians bold the destiny of the country tm the hollow of their hands et this eventful moment of ite history. The vital intereste of the whole people are at stake in this election —tho issue involves the very lie of the Union, ond it is the people, and ot any clique of politicians, who are to decide ’ tis not in Tammany Holl or Mozart Hail, or in any committee. s¢!f constituted of other: wise, that the vepresentutives of the unlon ticket xe to be found. Tammany, as a power- ty! polition’ institullon, ts ruined; Mozart Hall fs gone to pots the Alusny Regency is oxtin- avished, and upon the people alone dsvolves the dnty of eclecting tue men who are to oor- bine cli t)9 national, conservative elements of fhe country in a # ccessful oppositiva to 86- tionalinn and disunivu. The Tammany 177 Mozart o ations are flinging themselves into the ae aoe in order not ta be folly engulfed; bat the evecets cf thet movemens mast be decided by the great moss meeting of the people, to beheld in this ci'y on the 17th of tis month, the anni tereary of t! tion of the coneticution. The prover that meeting to puree would be to appoiws & geaeral gommuuer Ww tame rooree charge of the whole movament -a committee to represent the people in faci and in truth, snd ¢weep away Tammany ead Mozart, and the Regency, and all other peddling cliques and committees. They should form the union elec- toral ticket on this basis—ten Breckinridge men, ten Douglas men and ten Bell men, leaving the other five to be chosen as circumstances and expediency may demand. Let them take the ticket as it will be formed on the basis agreed upon last night, and if it be not what it should be, throw it overboard, and make on¢ on the epot that the people can sustain. Ln this way they would be able, not only to defeat Lincoln in this State, but to carry two-thirds of all the Northern States ggainst him, ee they were car- ried ip 1852 egainst the rotten whig party. The Throes of the City Poilticians—An Opening for a Better Order of Things. ‘The struggles and gestations of the several political orgapizstions and ward politicians in this city are just now unusually interesting. The numerous fat offices to be filled at the com- ing election, including Congressmen, members of Assembly, Aldermen and Councilmen, Re- gister, Surrogate, &.—covering as they do an amountof direct «poila equal to at least five to ten millions of dollar United States currency, and prospective plunder to a still larger aimount— has breathed new life into the nostrils of the teveral fragmenta ef the late democratic party. Wichin the next ten days Tammany Ball will present a list of nominations for the several offices, which will be followed by a like oum- ber trom Mozart Hall, and several other demo- cratic factions, as well as the republicans, Old Tammany, for a long time afflicted with *pasms, broke its back in the attempt to throw Mayor Wocd overboard and swatlow Tiemann, and out of @ portion of the fragments war formed Mozart Hall, This organization fought Tammany at every step, and in the Mayoralty election in 1859 triumphed over her. Both par- ties mareballed their forces and sent delegates to Charleston; Mozart was declared irregular and sént home. The latter made another appli- cation at Syracuse, and was there received into full fellowship, and allowed to partake of the bread and wine of the Albany Regency. Tam many raved at this act like a madman. The old wigwamffwas at first filled with wailings; but at length the old mef, Who bave some indistinct recollection of the power of the organization before its backbone was broken, counselled concerted action with Mo- zart on tbe local nominations. But this ar- rangement of the old fogies did noi suit the young men of Tammany nor the barroom poli- ticians; the intestine feuds are still kept up daily, creating new combinations. We are now baving about as many coalitions of the po- litical atoms of the defunct democratic party as there are candidates for the several offices. There are the Old Men's, the Young Men’s, and several other committees, too numerous to men- tion, bailing from Tammany—a Douglas and o Breckinridge, 9 Wood and auti-Wood clique in Mozart, besides numerous independent reform apti-Tammany combinations, coming from no one knows where, each competing for the nume- rous prizes. Theee several factions sind cabalsare now engaged in grand squabble for the spoils; the captains, lieutenants and sergeants are trading aod bartering with each fother for the several offices. The preliminary «:rangements going on amongst the barroom politicians to obtain porsession of place and plunder exhibit an amount of buying and telling seldom before heard of. Each faction cling with greut tena- city to their echemes, and are determined upon having a finger in the public crib either at Washington, Albany or the City Hall. A com- mittee from Tammany Hall will one day pub- lish their orders in the edvertising columns of the Hera, and the next day another commit- tee, likewise emanating from the same source, will publish their edict declaring the other an imposition. Thus a bitter warfare is cons‘antly kept up by the professional tradin politic! ans— the public at large looking on with indifference votil they find that their rights are trampled upon, and the very existence of the country im- perilled by a corrupt and mercenary set of mea in office. ‘These quarrels are carried on to such extent et the present that they furnish an excelles! yp- portunity for the public to correct the grea: abuse of power so characteristic of thir When Tammany presented an undivided (roo. their selections were always forced upon rs, ‘et them be what they would; but under the fend now existing ali of the corrupt plans of the fac tione can be upset. Let some of our better class of citizenr, popularly known in their +everal localitie’, announce themselves through the public press as independent candidates for the several offices to be filled, and make for once an effort to break up the barroom and wrogshop nominations, the baying and selling that has so long diegraced our city, and secure a city and State government that will not be a byword throughout the world. Will any one make the trial ? ‘Tue Row Rors or Pesyerivayta.—A sickly daily of Philadelpbia, who bas not yet come to New York bag and beegars to get into decent society, states that $195,000 bes been con. tributed from New York city to aid in the elec tion in that great State, which is “the keystone of the arch of the Union,” bat which, it seems, goes about into other States, “like a berrar hawking her sores,” to excite commiseration and extort relief. ‘The meaning ot thir statement of the Phila- delphia journo! is Ghat not on» cent has been contributed, but the ingecious fabrication is thrown out o8 a bait te catch gudgeons in Penn- teading that subacriptions are being cuilected time the repubiicans of New York eubacribed £20,000 for the election of Penusvivanis, aed tye’ got down lite the pocket af Tow Por, woeuce it has never beoa geon tocnerge Now Yorkers, made wise by experisnce, now reply to the Philudeipbis beggare as the csntious fox once did to the sick lion, who invited his visit:— nS tn, at re mals into the lion’s den, but could find none of their footmarks returning thence, and so he po- litely declined the invitation.

Private letters from distinguiabed gentlemen connected with the Britich Court, among them Major General Grey, state that the Queen and Prince Consort, and the royal family generally, arc delighted with the Prince's recep tion in America, and look forward with still greater piea- wure to the sort of welcome be isto hive from the great commonwealth and its chief magistrate.
