The steamship Melita, which left Liverpool on the 5th inst. for Halifax and New York, arrived off Cape Race at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. The news is three days later than the advices brought by the Asia, and is in some respects im- portant. ‘i The continuance of favorable weather for the @ops in England had atill further depressed bread- stuffs, and a decline in flour to the extent of one shilling per barrel is quoted. The cotton market was steady and quiet, while provisions continued dull. No change of importance had occurred in financial affairs. A Paris correspondent states that the French government have just purchased ten large steam transports in the United States. The report of Garibaldi’s visit to Monteleone is | reiterated, and it is reported that he had written to the revolutionary committee that he would be in Naples on the Sth inst., to assume the dictator- ship in the name of Victor Emauuel. It was reported that Sardinia was about to intervene in the affairs of Naples, and that Gen. Lamarmora was to proceed thither with thirty thousand troops, with the avowed object of rescuing Naples from anarchy in the event of the downfall of the Bourbons. Sar- dinis was making extraordinary military prepara- tions. The Papal States continue disturbed. Ancona had been declared in a state of siege, and the Pa- pal delegate had been recalled. The French army at Bome was to be increased by 3,500 soldiers. A revolutionary plot had been discovered at Ve- rons. It is said the revelations threw a startling light on the proceedings of a neighboring Power. By the arrival of the brig Julia Ford, Captain Ribett, which vessel sailed from St. Kitts August 22, we learn that the bealth of the island was very good, end bad been all the season.

On August 20, time will be required for a proper consideration of the points involved.

The case of Calvin Durand against Commander Hollins, of the Navy, an action to recover damages jestruction of property by the bombard- jreytown, on the 13th of July, 1854, was decided yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, by Judge Nelson, who rendered judgment for the defendant, The Treason of the Albany Regency Ex- Plainea—How the Federal Government is to be Plandered. The whole course of action of the scheming and corrupt Albany Regency during the pre- sent campaign, from its inception down to the Present moment, proves that behind their os- tensible motives there is a paramount conside- ration, for which they are bound to labor in .No. 258 | such @ way as to secure the election of Lin- = | coln. | ‘This consideration is a vast scheme of plun- | der of the government, in which the Albany Regency and the Albany black republican | junta bave agreed to work together and for the | ame end. The plan of operations is eo vast in | ts details, and so comprehensive in its results, | that it overshadows all the evils that were ever attributed to the United States Bank in the palmy days of Jackson, and if it can be car- | ried out will subject this government and country to @ worse tyranny than was | attempted to be established by Biddle | and his fellow monopolists. The scheme is one ; in which the Albany intriguers have had a State | practice, and having made large fortunes by its | application to New York, they have now " banded together to endeavor to apply it to the | Union, ang Lincoln bas been selected as the | fitting instrument for its consummation. We allude to the plan of railroad combination | which has been eo profitable to its contrivers | | here, and which to-day rules all parties in the State of New York, and bends their nominees to obey its behests. A similar combination is to be made for the purpose of controlling the general government, and making every dollar that goes into the public treasury, and every acre of the public lands, sweat for the profit of , the managers. The plan is to make a combination of all the | great Northern railroad companies, for the pur- poee of constructing a Northern railroad to the | Pacific. By arranging a system of mail eon- tracts to extend over a series of years, se- curing grants of the public lands for fifty miles on either side of the line, and obtaining the passage of laws for the trans- portation of all the matériel of the War De- partment and Indian Bureau, it is calculated money annually for ten years can be secured to build the whole road, or say two hundred millions of dollars. This money is to be di- vided among the combining railroad companies, in the shape of fat contracts for mail and army transportation, which they are to cede wholly or in part to the combination in exchange for certificates of stock, and with these new grants and new concessions are to be secured from a Northern majority in Congrees. The scheme is the product of certain New York intriguers long familiar with such operations in Albany and Washington; and it is estimated that be- tween contracts and public lands three hun- dred millions of dollars can be legislated into the pockets of the combination without spend- ing a dollar of their own. We denounced this scheme some months since, when it was first started, and since that time the managers have continued their labors privately and with some success. Many of our Northern railroad companies are committed to it, and the Regency and junta of Albany are both in the pool. They confidently claim that through the combination of the railroad inte- rests no man opposed to their plan can be that the expenditure of sufficient government | the schooner Southern Star, of Elizabeth City, N, | lected to Congress from any Northern State. €., touched to try the market with a cargo of In order to succeed, a black republican Presi- shingles, and sailed the following day for the Wind- | dent must be elected, and this could only be ward.

Messrs. Wood and Laflin made an official report in regard to their negotiations with the Green Committee, and offered a resolution agree fing with the ultimatem proposition of the com mittee. The resolution was voted down by a vote of seven to five. Subsequently the National De- | mocratic Volunteers made overtures to the com- mittee, asking ten electors’ names, to be taken from the present Breckinridge electoral ticket, and one-half of the State ticket.

This w@ the part assigned to the Albany Regency, and they have acted steadily in accordance with it from the time of the Charleston Convention to the present day. Every attempt at compromise with them bas been persistently rejected, no matter how favorable the terms that were prof- fered ; and having sold themselves to the black republican managers, they are now carrying out the bargain in the hope to obtain their price. No matter what promises they may make in regard to fusion, all they wish to obtain thereby is the control of the money the mer- | chants of New York, whose interests are na- tional, are willing to contribute for the neces- | sities of the canvass, and then to defeat the objects for which it will be contributed. A black republican Congress is to be brought to forward the same purposes that ruled our last corrupt State Legislature, where the tools of these cliques voted for similar infamous mea- sures, whereby the city of New York was grid- ironed, and its franchises to the value of a million of dollars were voted away. We warn the country against these schemes now, while there is yet time to defeat them. If they are not defeated the federal government will be made the ironed slave of a set of avaricious speculators and political demagogues, just as New York is now the slave of the Central Rail road combination, and New Jersey the tool of the Camden and Amboy corporation.

The Political and Religious Changes Impending Over Asia. Ip another column will be found extracts from the narrative of a journey made by three missionaries from to Suchan, the ee- cond city in China, and which has recently faller into the bands of the rebels. According to this account, the stories that had reached us of the Christian character of the movement would appear to be correct. Although the country through which they passed was every- where traversed by armed bands, the travellers met with no obstruction, their spiritual mission proving a safe passport for them. Ax regards their creed, their doxology and their Sabbath observances, it appears that there is a remarka ble accordance between the religion of the re- bels and our own. Their mission they believe to be to put an end to idolatry and the Tartar dynasty, and they evince in general the most friendly disposition towards foreigners. In the events which are just now convulsing most of the Asiatic countries, let us explain as we will their immediate causes, reflecting minds cannot fail to detect the evidences of a common influence, working like an irresistible under- current, and sweeping away with it in its course all the barriers raised against it by the jealous- ies of Eastern @hlers. The world is, in fact, approaching one of those great epochs in its history in which important changes are simul- taneously wrought in the condition of nations, | without they themselves being aware of the sbare which they have had in producing | them. Thus, ‘in the commencement of the | Chinese rebellion, of the Indian mutiny wot} of the Syrian massacres, it is probable that | not one of the leaders in these movements be- | stowed a thought upon their remote conee- quences in the future, or upon the revolutions that they were destined to bring about in the social, religious and political condition of the populations affected by them. They were led on by impulses which they themselves could not very well analyze or understand, but | which we, accustomed to regard things from s philosophical point of view, cannot but refer to an influence which uses political questions merely as levers by which it works ont ite own | wise and philanthropic purposes Those who look upon the savage contest | which is at present being waged in the interior | of China as one of local interest only, and as | likely to terminate merely in a change of | dynasty, take but a superficial view of the sub- | ject. The truth is that it is a phase of the con- flict which civilization has again renewed with Eastern barbarism, this time to conquer and subject it to its ideas. It may be objected to this notion that the gle has originated within the bosom of | China itself, and therefore cannot be owing to external influences. It might as well be said that the conflict which is now being carried on in Japan, between the friends of extended com- mercial intercourse and the advocates of the old exclusive system, had no support other than in the theories which had been acquired from | strug: | tial Fiection. In a little less than a week the Cane dian tour of the Prince of Wales will be brought to a close. The vice-regal party will land upon American soil at Detroit on next Friday, and afterwards visit the chief cities of the Northern States. The provincial sojourn of the vice-regal party has not been altogether agreeable. There were thorns in the roses which were thrown io the pathway of the young Prince, In every feast to which he was bidden there came the skeletons of anclent prejudices .nd moderna po- litical equabbles. In Lowe “anada there was found the remnant of the ola animosity against the English, which originated in the time when the province was held by the French. There the cburch of Rome is predominant, and, by con- Sequence, overbearing and arrogant. It is the régime of Louis Quatorze over again. In Canada West there is a large party of maniacs who swear by William the Third and the battle of Boyne Water, who have not forgotten the siege of Derry, who drink deep to the “De- struction of the Papists,” and to whom “Crop- pies Lie Down”’ is a aweeter air than the most enchanting morceaur ever warbled bys prima donna. And in this fierce internecine warfare, political and religious, the poor Prince has had rather a tough time of it. Leaving the ques- tion of loyalty out of the matter, the sacred rites of hospitality have been overlooked in at least one instance, and all along in the Prince’s wake we find exhibitions of petty jealousy, heartburnings, rabid animosities and general bad feeling, which will not be obliterated in years, if ever. Happily for us, no such dangers await Baron Renfrew when he lands on the soil of the United States. We have a warm political contest going on, but there is no religious element in it. And it is in view of this very fact that we are able to eay that the party could not have selected a better time for a tour in this country than the present. The Prince could see our great rivers and prairies of the West at any time; he could hunt the buffalo, or encamp on the track of the aborigine; he could visit our great cities and thriving towns; he could re- ceive our bospitalities and review our mili tia as well next year or the year after as now. But there is one thing, and the most interesting of all, to wit, the Presidential election, which does not happen every day, nor is it probable | that such a curious campaign as that which is going on now will take place again in many years. Our English guests will travel through this country while the canvass is at its height, and will have a full opportunity to see the way in which our general elections are conducted. | Undoubtedly the morale of the affair, the tricks, and turns and twistings, the lies and humbugs, that make up the stock in trade of the political spouters and managers, will be explained to the Prince and his suite. They will hear people of all parties proclaiming that the country is assuredly going to ruin, and they foreigners. This is not so. It must not be imagined that in Asiatic countries the mind is utterly torpid or incapable of appreciating the truths that are deducible from its own expe- rience. In the civilization which exists there, partial though it be, there must ever be a strong sympathy and inclination towards our own. Whatever may be the present sims and objects of the Chinese insurrection, there cau be no doubt that it has originated in a spirit of an- tagonism to the prejudices and restraints by which the of the country has been trammelled for so many centuries. In whatever light we regard it, this movement cannot but contribute powerfully towards the accomplishment of the object which philanthropists and political econo- mists have’ so long had at heart. Matters have now approached such a crisis that either with the imperialists or with the rebels terms will be made that will enable European civilization and commerce to obtain a re- cognized and permanent foothold in China, and gradually to extend their influence over that empire. It was fear that in Japan first brought its bigoted government to accept the benefits that were offered ft. In China it will be the same potent motive that will force its rulers to listen to the voice of reason. Whether it be the imperialists or the rebels that get the upper hand, they will have to confirm their ascendancy by large concessions to foreign governments. Russia will not be content without having the freedom of her trade on her Siberian frontier guaranteed, and in this view will certainly insist on having a large slice of territory pledged to her. England and France will be satisfied with nothing less than that the principal ports of China shall be made free, and that the Interior commerce of the empire be thrown open tc the world. We do not see how, in the position to which matters are hasten- ing, these conditions can be evaded. The allies bave merely to throw their weight into the scale to decide the struggle between the two great factions into which the Chinese popula- tion is divided. One or the other will therefore be glad to purchase their support by conceding all that they demand. Thus, by the operation of an influence which has not as yet been taken into consideration fn this contest, and to which the disposition of all human events is alone re- ferable, the tide of Western civilization will be allowed to pour uninterrupted over the vast empire which has been so long closed to it, and countless millions will be brought within the pale of our holy faith. ANew Use ror tie Great Exsterw.—tt ts bow quite certain that the Great Eastern will make, during next month, another to the United States, coming first to New York, and afterwards calling at Norfolk There isa great deal of discussion going on as to how the big ehip can be made to pay, and we would suggest an entirely original idea on the eub- ject. Let us get together all the peatilential political hacks of all parties, disunionists and fanatics, people who attempt to buy and sell thousands of voters as if they were so many sheep—in fact, all the party sharpers and Peter Funke—and eend them off on a voyage to Eu- rope, there to remain until after the election is over. Then the people could go to work elect the President of their choice without being badgered, bullied and annoyed by ma- nagers who impudently assume to dictate not only as to how the eleetoral tickets shall be made up, but who the electors shall vote for in the event of success. If we have to defray the the community, by insisting on imposing upon | expenses of the voyage by subscription it will pay better than sending money into Pennsyl- vaniaand New Jersey. Who seconds our mo- tion? will see that the country seems, like the [rish lady who was abducted three times, rather to be pleased with it than otherwise. They will see all the politiciane worked up to a tremen- dous pitch of excitement, threatening blood, murder, fire, treason, insurrection, civil war and general anarchy, and may, possibly, be Pereusded for a moment that the republic is really in danger. But if they remain until after the 6th of November they will find that the storm has subsided; that mobody has been in the least particle hurt; that everybody has become quite reconciled to the result, whatever it may be; that the new administration will be allowed to work out its own salvation or damnation, as the case may be, without hindrance; that the people of the country will be ready, as ever, to fulfil their constitutional obligations; that we will all go on the same way as ever, buying and selling, producing, speculating, making money and spending it, preparing for another crisis, and in a few months getting up the steam for another Presidential election. And if all that is not a curious political and social spectacle, then there never was such a thing in the world. The fu- ture King of Fogland will find that his is not the only uneasy head in the world. Our Presiden- tial candidates deserve pity in a much greater degree than even the poor King of Naples, who has not a friend in the world. Tux Americas Eacte Asroap—We print to-day some account of the opening of the first American horse railway in England. This rail- still a young man, has made noise in the world, and is what we States a “smart” fellow. He watched ration of street railways in our large cities, 2 Passy, and paying, we believe, very well. So he went to work among the English capitalists, stirring up the old fogies wonderfully, and, finally, carrying his point. The railway at Birkenhead is, we presume, after the manner of an experiment, and will, without doubt, be succeeded by many others. Mr. Train’s pockets will be well filled, and the English will reap the benefit of another Yankee notion, added to their previous experiences fn our fast clippers, patent reapers, im- proved firearms, Hobb’s locks, and eo on. The city railways cannot fatl to create a revolution fn the locomotive facilities of London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, Cork, and all the large towns in the United Kingdom, where they will be speedily introduced, As it would appear that the Train project bas met with some oppo- sition from the upper classes in Bagland, it might be as well for the noblemen composing the Prince’s suite to examine the city railway aystem as it exists in New York, Philadelphia ‘and Boston. With all its faults the system iso great public convenience, and we really could not get along without it. That our brethren across the water will, at no very distant day, agree with us, is beyond peradventure. In the meantime we advise our readers not to overlook Mr. Train's charucteristic speech. It is full of happy bits, an, runs as easily as bis new rail- way cars. Tur Kevrie Canine tax Por Biace.—The Albany organ of the Dean Richmond Regency charging the failure of the democratic fusion to the Tacker-Green Committee, “NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1860—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘The Prince of Wales and the Presidem- | The Lady E!gia Catastrophe—Was Any-~ | yet affect the body to Blame? We published in yesterday’s Henry nearly an entire page giving a full and authentic ac- count of the ebipwreck and loss of the steamer Lady Elgin on Lake Michigan, made up from the statements of the rescued officers and pas- eengers of that illfated vessel. We do no Propose to horrify our readers at this time with & repetition of the details of the perilous affuir, nor intensify {t with pen and ink aketches of imagination; the plain, unvarnished statements of the paseengers are of themselves sufficient to appal the stoutest heart. We are surprised, yea, astounded, to learn how lightly the Western papers treat the mat- ter asto the cause of the fatal disaster, We publish the following aa the mildest specimen of the manner in which the case is dismissed:— “It is enough to say that, as far as we can judge, there could have been no one to blame, and it must have bappened had it been any other ves- eels or any other commanders.” Let us examine into the merits of the case and see whether there was “no one to blame.” The Lady Elgin was a steamer of one thousand tons burthen; the United States steamboat law requires vessels of this class to have four lifeboats capable of carry- ing fifty persons ineach. The Lady Elgin at the time of the disaster had one yawl boat capable of carrying ten persons, two lifeboats capable of carrying thirty persons in each, and one émall boat capable of carrying six persons. Here, then, is one important infraction of the law. Again, the United States steamboat law passed in 1852, section 5, says:-— material, or }, Well adapted to the purpose, for cach snd every passenger, which life preservers and float eball always be kept in convesieat and accessible places in such vessel, and in readiness for the use of the passengers, &c After a careful and impartial perusal of all the statements and accounts of the catastrophe in question, we have yet to learn that there was a single life preserver on board the Lady Elgin, or if there was, of the salvation of a single life by such instrumentality. Assuming, for a moment, the affirmative of this point, for argu- ment’: sake, were the life preservers made of suitable material and kept in accessible places, in readinese for the use of passengers! Again, was the Lady Elgin lost through the negligence of her officers? What are the facts? The steamer left Chicago for Milwaukee at ten o'clock at night; the skies were of inky blackness; the wind howled fu- riously and everything portendeda furious storm, and the boat was overloaded with human freight; notwithstanding these facts the captain persistently undertakes his voyage. With all these facts, and added to them, we have yet to learn that Capt.Wilson had taken the precaution to have extra lookoute for vesseis scudding across his weesel’s track, as the exigency of the case demanded, nor was the steamer run at diminished speed. A balihad just been held in the grand saloon, and bardly had the sounds of music died away, or the brilliancy of the oc- casion ceased to animate, and while joyous thoughts and viston: were occupying the minds of the passengers, when suddenly @ crash changed the scene, and soon it was ascertained that a fatal collision had taken place. The scene that followed beggars description, and we will not repeat its details; it was sad, disas. trous and appalling; over three hundred souls were suddenly plunged into eternity. Is no one to blame for this fearful loss of human life? We assume that there are those legally and morally culpable for this sad result:— First, the captain of the steamer, for reasons already adverted to. Secondly, the United States Inspector of Steamboats for the district of Chicago, whose duty it was to enforce the requirements of the law, in so far as the Lady Elgin was deficient in life saving apparatus, as it has already been Proven that she was. Thirdly, the owners of the steamer are re- A Siew or Sarery.- The Richmond Enquirer, asthe organ of the Breckinridge democracy of Virginia, betrays, in its unwonted violence, its sense of danger. Placed between the two fires of Bell and Douglas, it strikes right and left with more energy than discretion. The simple truth is that the conservative forces of Virginia have the State in their hands, and that in November she will lead off more than half the Southern electoral vote against the disunion agitators of the Southern democracy.” Let the conservatives of the Central States of the North, New York and Ponnsylvania, emu- late the great reactionary Union movement of the people of the South, and Northern and Southern disunionists will be driven to the wall with the defeat of Lincoln. The South- ern conservatives are fighting splendidly the pro-slavery disunionists of that section. Let our Northern conservatives combine against the no-«lavery disunionists of this section, and the country will be saved from both these classes of disunion agitators Tur Covytar Growne Rics.—It isa little remarkable that in «pite of the corruption of cur politicians, the profligacy of our Legisla- tures, and the dishonesty and extravagance of our municipal corporations, the country is stil! experiencing an unexampled prosperity, that itis growing richer every day, and that the confidence of capitalists remains unabated. As ‘a case in point—nt the present time American stocks in England are advancing, while Euro- pean stocks are going down; and, to cite a local Instance of the confidence which moneyed men place in the credit of the metropolis, the bids for the new quarter million loan for the Croton Water stock, at six per cent interest, were all taken on Thursday at » premium. It fe evident from this fact that the known corruption of the Corporation, the wasteful ex- travagance of the Central Park, and the dis- honesty of our politicians generally, do aot Public credit. The prosperity of the country is so great that ordinary influence, are unavailing to damage its good standing. fet Samra rate arta Tur Arpayy Regexcy Coune Rigat—Untow Arter Att.—In another column we publish aa account of the action of the Democratic State Central Committee yesterday, from which it will be seen that Dean Richmond is not op- posed to union per se, but only wants to be united with men of pith. It is all 9 mistake to eay he is not in favor of a union, but he sees ne profit in union with such penniless adventurers as Green and Tucker, small politicians, who re- present neither votes nor money, but are mak- ing a great fuss to force themselves into notice. The Breckinridge men can have ten, twelve, Gfteen, or any number of electors on the ticket that is reasonable. Ben. Wood did not under- stand electoral tickets. He would be more at home if the question were one of lottery tickets. The philosophy of the union ticket is this: Every year Dean Richmond makes a descent from the Albany Regency upon Wall street for money for the ostensible purpose of carry- ing the elections, like Rob Roy, who came dows. once a year from the Hightands of Scotland to the Lowlands, to levy black mail, and carry it off tothe mountains. Last year the chieftain of the Regency was cut short in his raid upon the commercial metropolis. But he now emells the steaks. He swears the eub-committee whe acted under his General Committee were “a God damn cet of fools” for treating with men who have no backbone, instead of con- tracting with the merchant princes of New York, who are able and willing to bleed. There, is sound philosophy in this. Richmond knows that the commercial men in New York who are friends of Breckinridge, and have their trade connections with the South, could probably raise two hundred millions, while the little fac- tion connected with Green or the Douglas poli- ticlans in this city have not as much money as would pay their ferriage over the river Styx. King Dean, therefore, will have nothing to do with fellows like Green and Tucker—one of whom represents old speeches and old clothes, and the other empty bottles. The supporters of Breckinridge represent two hundred millions of hard cash, and they are the men for the Re- gency. Richmond finds he cannot get money from the merchants of New York to supporta sham union ticket. It must be a veritable union ticket, that will defeat Lincoln, by embracing all the elements of conservatiam. They will not throw away their money with the of defeat staring them in the face. Richmond will therefore, after rejecting the offers of the Breckinridge State Committee, as he did yee- terday afternoon, let them have a representa- tion of Breckinridge electors om the ticket, it being well understood that they will come down with the dust; and, consequently, we shall have a union ticket after all, which will sweep the State. But let a Vigilance Committee be appointed by the merchants to see that the money sub- scribed is faithfully applied in defeating Lin- coln. There is some reason for grave suspicion that there is a secret league between the two Albany Regencies, Richmond, Cagger and Com- pany on one side, and Thurlow Weed and his lobby on the other, to defeat the union ticket and elect Lincoln by the popular vote ; and this deep echeme is connected with a splendid rail- way job—a road to the Pacific. It is necessary, therefore, to have a Vigilance Committee to watch the Regency of which Dean Richmond is head, and to demand vouchers for all moneys disbursed, and take good care that these pa- pers be not burned, as was the case in Pennayi- vania four years ago. Tax Busmess or tue Orry.—The busi- South, the briskness of our shipping trade, the vast concourse of people who flocked hither to visit the Great Eastern, to see the Japanese Em- bossy and the Prince of Wales, who is soon ex- pected. Even the speeches of the politicians— who have made manifest the fact that New York is not merely a Northern city, nor a Southera, Western or Eastern city, nor the representative of any eection of the country, but the embodied idea of the whole Union—have brought people here from all quarters to the central point, where all the vital interests of the republic con- centrate, where political issues are to be de- cided, and every question of importance, whe- ther political or commercial, finds {ts final solu- looked for with more eagerness by many of our readers, than the advertisements, which appear fresh every day, and comprise fa themselves only a news department in another shape, being @ faithful record of the daily life, wants, neces sities and occupation of the community.
