TRIPLE SHEE Ry the arrival of the Europa off Cape Race we have Foropean advices to the 9th inst., two days later thaa the accounts published yesterday. The news is important, both politically and commer- cially. The reports of Garibaldi’s march upon Naples and of the King’s flight to Gaeta are fully con- firmed. Garibaldi was at Cava on the 6th, and was expected at Naples the next day. The city was perfectly tranquil. In the Papal States the revolutionary element had assumed activity. An outbreak had hap- pened at Pesaro, in which the populace attacked and defeated the Papal troops. The weather in England continued favorable for the crops, and there was reason to anticipate a plentiful harvest. This satisfactory prospect as re- gacds the supply of cereals had paralyzed the breadstuffs markets, and, as compared with the qvotations of the week previous, flour had de- clined two to three shillings per barrel, wheat ninepeace, and corn one shilling and sixpence. ‘The cotton market was firm, and provisions quiet. We have advices from Vera Cruz to the 2d inst. The Uberals were concentrating their forces upon the capital, where Miramon awaited their approach. The attack was expected to commence on the Sth inst., and a bloody battle, on the Mexican plan, may be anticipated. The steamship Empire City, Captain Baxter, ar- rived here from New Orleans and Havana yester- day. There isno locat news of any importance from Havana. A railroad accident had occarred ou the morning of Sunday, the 9th, caused by the giving way of an iron bridge over the Rio Seco, between Guines and San Nicolas, which precipitated the last cars down auembankment. The conduc- tor and brakeman were thrown into the bed of the river: yet strange to say their injuries were very slight. Fortunately there were no passengers in tho-e care. arrived at Havana from Truxillo, confirming, by the news she brings, the accounts already published in regard to Walker and his companions. By let- ters from correspondents we learn that Walker's force would soon have been doubled if the British had not interfered. He would have had at least one hundred and fifty men under him by this time. We are in receipt of files of Caracas, Venezuela, | papers to the 24th ult. There is no great variation in the news. The war continues with the same barbarity and the same fruitless efforts as ever. Sotillo, it appears, is mot dead, as was reported, but quite alive and very troublesome in Barcelona. Meriia was still in the hands of the face: though troops had been despatched from Maracaibo | and other points to assist General Andrade in his efforts to retake the place. Falcon was still in Curacao, and Coro was watching him, There is the csual complaint of stagnation in business, and public works are almost, entirely suspended. The government was endeavoring to effect a home loan of a million of dollars, and a foreign one of a million and a half of pounds s‘erting, The terms of these loans are not msde known. From Jamaica we loarn that the recent elections are likely to be subject, in scme cases, to review in the Assembly, by acratiny committees, In the parish of St. George, for instance, Mr. Lawton, the editor of the Jemaica Triune, took a preliminary objection to the electoral list, which had not been made wp according to law. ‘fhe objection is said to be fatal, and St. George i, therefore, disfran- chised for a year.

The bids for the $3,000,000 Corporation loan were opened yesterday by the proper officers. A list of the names of the bidders, the amounts proposed for, and the names of the successfal bid- ders, are given among our financial matter in to-day’s paper, The cotton market was firm yesterday, with sales of about 1,500 bales. The market closed without change in prices. The receipts at the porta since the Ist of Sep- tember inst. have reached 45,060 baies, against 48,000 in | 1859, $4,000 in 1858, and 7,000 in 1857. Theexporta in the same time have embraced 12,000 bales, against 26,000 io 1859, 17,000 in 1858, and 6,000 in 1857. The market for flour was again heavy and lower, especially common grades of | State and Western, while extra qualities were unchanged. ‘The decline on the lower grades reached about 0c. a Léc. perbbl. Southern flour was steady and in good request, chiefly for home use and for export. Wheat was heavy and lower, with some less doing. Corn was in fair acti- vity, but lower for Western mixed. Pork was dull and lower for mess, with sales of new mess at $19 a $19 25, and $14 a $14 50 for new prime.

The Great issue—The Daty of New York— The People Rising. As the great day of our Presidential contest approaches, the spirit of the fight in support of our conservative elements is everywhere de- veloping itself among the masses of the people, Still, as it is manifest, looking to the East, the West, the North and the South, that the forlorn hope of the Union cause rests upon the im- perial State of New York, we might almost despair, but for the mighty outpouring of the people to our late great metropolitan Union mass meeting. This meeting, however, changes the complexion of the campaign from gloom to cheerfulnees, from despondency to a living faith in the resources and the will among the people of New York to turn the tide of the ‘battle, like Bragg’s battery at Buena Vista, and to “save the day.” Nor is this all; for not only have we seen in this great Union gathering that among the op- ponents of the republican party there are the fo.vees and the resources essential to a glorious tri umpb, but this meeting has also indicated the simple plan of operations by which the work mayt be done. It never can be done by any log-rolling experiments to har: monive the personal feuds, intrigues, aspira- tions, demands and cross purposes which thus far ha ve controlled the several parties, factions and cliques concerned. This is the never end- ing an i still beginning work of Sysiphus, this labor o f compounding between Douglas, Breck- inridge and Bell-Everett leaders. All ideas of concesai ons and eqnivalents among such con- flicting engineers as Dickinson, Richmond, Cag- ger, Tucker, Green and Brooks must be sunk in the paramount idea of a cordial coalition for the defeat of this sectional disunion lican part y. will be decisive in favor of the Union. The people opposed to Lincoln are rising. Let the politicians concerned move with them, or stand out of the way, eo thnt the will of the ma- jority may be heard. Let the conservative { voice of New York have vent, and the country will be saved. Our Historic Developemeat—Shall it be Superseded by a War of Races? The political issue that is now before the country is a far more momentous one than has ever before been presented here, and the coa- eequences flowing from its decision will affect our historic developement for ages to come, if they do not establish an early period to our ex- istence as a nation. Party divisions among us have hitherto been based on questions of policy in government, but without departing from the great principle of the rightful preponderance of the white race. Thus, in the first division of parties afier the establishment of the constitution, the lines of the federal and republican organizations were drawn on the great question of a stronger or weaker form of federal government. involving the right of controlling personal liberty, the freedom of the press, and other questions of a similar character, which marked our legis- lation and political agitation during the closing years of the last century. This was succeeded by party divisions on the question of a second war with England in defence of our rights on the ocean. and the patriotic sacrifices the war party then led the country to make in the face of the bitter oppo- sition of “the Massachusetts school’ were the foundations of our present commercial glory. After this came the great division under Jack- son, on the questions of bank, tariff and inter- nal improvements by the general government. All of these questions were discussed with par- tisan bitterness, but in them the doubt of the right of the white man to rule never entered. The only party division that exists to-day, aside from the bickerings of selfish and unseru- pulous leaders, who are each endeavoring, with their petty cockle boats, to gather the fragments that are floating upon the tide of party revolu- tion, involves a far deeper and older question than apy that has previously been discussed among us during our national career. The is- sue that is presented by the black republican party involves the whole question of our social and national existence. Black republicanism, founded on and animated by the antislavery idea, and pursuing an exaggerated notion of individual rights, involves not only an attempt to equalize dissimilar and discordant races in their social and political immunities, but also the most destriccvs tuédrica in remard to the organization of society. Socialism in its worst form, including the most advanced theories of women’s rights, the division of land, free love and the exaltation of the desires of the indi- vidual over the rights of the family, and the forced equality of all men in phalansteries, or similar organizations, are a part of the logical chain of ideas that flow from the anti-slavery theory which forms the soul of black republi- ‘This anti-slavery idea aims to establish a new Tepub- | social policy in this country—the policy of an equalization of the white and black races—which The marses of the people assembled at the | has never produced anything but bloodshed in The Spanish war steamer Francisco de Asis had Cooper Inititute Union demo tion, Breck- | other parts of the world, and which can oaly inridge men, Douglas men, Bell men, eld line | result in the subjugation or destruction of the whigs and Americans, Tammany Hall and Mo- zart men, in their homogeneous character as a numerically weaker race.

Additional particulars of the effects of the terrific gale that swept the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama on Saturday last are given among our telegraphic despatches. At the mouth of the Mississippi the brig West Indian was wrecked and ten of her crew drowned. Several lichthouses were prostrated by the violence of the wind. At Mobile the gale was very severe. The ship R. H. Dixey, Capt. Dixey, which sailed from this port on the 15th clt., was driven ashore in the lower bay and became « total loss, and her captain and several of the crew perished. Five steamboats were sank during the storm.

Great Accession 10 Tus Rervsuicay Cavse.— The republican journals are making a great noise about the conversion of Dr. Orestes A. Brownson. We congratulate them on the ac- cession, The republican cause is surely safe now, and there cana be no longer a doubt of Lincoln's election. The vote of this remarkable convert will settle the whole matter, provided it can only be taken while he is in the humor; for, alas, he may change before the election. Orestes has been “everything by turns, and nothing long.” He has boxed the compass in religion. He has been at every point of it till the wind shifted. He was born a Protestant, and is now a Catholic; but what he will become next, who can tell! He haa been a Presbyte- rian, a Methodist, an Episcopalian, an infidel, if not an atheist, and, lastly, a Romanist; and he bas run all these religions, as he does everything else, into the ground. His po- litices have been as various a: his re- ligions, shifting like quicksands. At one time he was an advocate of despotism, and opposed to ail human liberty. In 1848 he opposed revolution an@ backed the despota. He uttered the strange doctrine that “ there are no human rights.” He was an ardent admirer of Louis Napoleon as long as he seemed to be playing the part of Gwrsar ; but the Emperor has lost terribly in his estimation within the last four years, since he showed a disposition to espouse human rights and to place himself at the head of the popular movement, riding upon the whirlwind and controlling the storm. In domestic politics he has been equally erratic—a whig, a democrat, a Know Nothing, and now a black republican, though Helper’s handbook of revolution, endorsed by the leaders of the party, denounces the Catholic religion and all who profess it. But whether Brownson is still a Catholic may well be a matter of doubt, seeing that his changes are so numerous and 60 great. He may pave been a Catholic yesterday, but may not he to-day, Jq like meuney he may change his politics before the end of the week. The only way to make sure of his vote, which is to be the casting one in the “irrepressible conflict,’ is to take him before a commissioner of deeds and get his affidavit that he votes for Lincoln, for he may turn round to the other elde long before the first Tuesday after the first Monday in Novem- ber. It is important. Nota day ought to be lost, for the fate of the election and the destiny of the country hang upon his kissing the book, and upon the dash of his pen at the foot of the affidavit. A verbal adhesion is unreliable as the wind, but the oath remains. By all means swear him. Litera scripta mane, Tar Ports axp Tar Paivce or Waes.— The hotel keepers are all on the track of H. R. HL; Jenkins, like Mrs. Micawber, will never desert him; the hatters, tailors and bootmakers will use him as an advertisement; and, worse than all, the poets have commenced to pipe their little lays in his honor. We have re- ceived several of the effusions of these new votaries of the tuneful Nine, and find them even worse than the campaign lyrics which we have printed as literary and political curiosities. One disciple of Apollo informs us that his verses have a slight tinge of satire in them; but we have failed to perceive anything of the sort. The “poem” is a parody upon “Young Lochinvar,” and starts of with the statement that “Young Baron Renfrew has come out to the West,” and that “of all British lordlings he’s reckoned the best:” that “he’s of pure royal blood and the Queen's eldest son. so must needs rank with gentlemen A No. 1.” Again, we are told that. “being now in his prime, the B. R. makes no such pretensions at looking sublime, which may be very fine; it is certainly somewhat ob- soure. A firemen’s parade is to “swell his young bosom with glee,” which he “enjoys with as hearty a gusto as one of the b’hoys:” and more to the same purpose. We are afraid that all these poems are too clever for us, and there- fore must decline publishing them in our “valu- able journal.” We suggest, however, that they be sent to General Morris, the Horace, or Bry- aat, the Homer, of American poets. They print green poetry exough in a month to set up half a dozen country newspapers for a couple of years. Tar Hrtonr or tax Wie Awaxes—We publish to-day a full and concise history of the new black republican organization of “Wide Awakes”—a body of voters numbering through- out the Northern States nearly half a million strong. They area regularly disciplined, drilled and uniformed force, and are to the republican party just what the Know Nothing clubs were to the American party. The account we give in another column was, of course, obtained from republican source: and the Wide Awakes them- selves. It will be seen from that deseription and the statements of the party generally that the da- ty of these clubs is to bring up voters at the eleo- tion and to keep order—that is to say. order for the republican party—at the polls; but it is the opinion of many Southerners that they are in- tended to be used for another purpose. Seeing that these half a million of men are regularly trained by military officers, march with remark- able precision, and that each man carries his lantern like a musket on his shoulder, some Southerners are of opinion that they are de- tigned'to act as akind of life guard to Abra- bam Lincoln at his inauguration at Washing- ton—should it ever take place—and help to keep everything straight there, in case of acci- dents. The Wide Awakes are to have grand torchlight procession in this city on the 3d of October, when they will probably turn out some thirty thousand strong from all quarters of the State. We presume it will be a very imposing affair; it ought to be a very luminous one, cer- tainly, for we understand that two hundred bar- rels of oil have Ween purchased for the ooca- sion, and we may expect that the metropolis will smell like a byrnt oil factory for a week afterwards, the Nick of Time. In view of the epirit manifested at the great Union meeting on Monday night, and in con- sideration of the fact that this grand uprising of the people had completely demolished the politicians; that all the bad language and bad liquor employed by the various fusion commit- tees had evaporated and left nothing but # bad | emell behind; that Richmond, with his un- bounded stomach; little Cagger, who acts and looks like a reed bird in an advanced stage of delirium; Green, of green grocery aad fine table salt (Syracuse) fame; Tucker, an exceed- ingly small pattern for an elector at large, and all the rest of the patriots, had been finally submerged in the general resolve to vote for any ticket by which Old Abe can be beaten, we bad begun to be afraid that New York would be without one of its standing attrac- tions, to wit—some kind of a row. We are quite sure of everything else. The weather is lovely beyond all precedent; Broadway and the Central Park are gayer than ever before, and the drawing rooms of the fashionable hotels are the scenes of soirees wherein the beauty, and wit, and learning, and folly and frivolity of every section ‘of the country, and a considera. bie portion of the rest of mankind, are fully represented. But, in addition to all this, there is demanded a topic—something for the news- papers to write and the town to talk about. Politics, as we have said, are done up. The Prince of Wales approaches, but he is not yet a full-fledged sensation. He has managed to worry through Canada, not without troubles, the like of which, thank Heaven, cannot assail him here. To be sure, there will be a difficulty among the ladies as to whom he shall dance with. He will be surrounded by so many pretty women that the selection of a partner wil! be a difficult matter, but one that he can solve without troubling the Duke of Newcastle, which must be a great relief to that worthy nobleman’s mind. However, this is not an immediate sen- sation. It is not, in fact, a row such as we must have. and we look in vain for the desirable article. We are in despair, because we are in a state of profound peace. Must we then abandon all hope’ No; for here comes a speck—a cloud no bigger than a man’s hand. Need we say that it rises over the temple of Euterpe, and that the army of Irving place is again upon a war footing’ Scarcely; although things operatic looked hopelessly pacific a week ago. Maretzex, the fighting impressario par excel’ence, assumes the baton for the Strakosch troupe, and the lion lies down with the lamb. Ullman, fertile in warlike resources, is reposing on his laurels at Paris, dining, probably, at {ag Tro, Freres, or polking with the angels of , the Mabille, The amiable Strakosch announces that 91 Th6 companies have beet Consolidated; that the dove has gone forth, and is momenta- rily expected to return with the olive branch in his mouth. What a disgusting state of things! Is the truth of history to be upset in this way? Is it possible that there can be an Opera sea- son without a row? Forbid it, Mars, and all the gods of war! It cannot be. It is not according to the fitness of artis- tic things; and so we heard, last week, thé mutterings of the distant thunder. On two occasions the public was done out of its “Tra- viata ;” on another “Norma” was pu: up with the prima donna who had been anzounted in the “Traviata” (Cortesi), but was sung by Pa- rodi. On this latter occasion, the director first informed the public that Madame Cortesl con- tinued to be indisposed, and iramediately efter- wards issued a bulletin to the effect that she had “sgain disappointed the public and the manage- ment.” That means fight; and so Servadio, im- pressario of the Cortesi troupe,cleared his decks for action and poured s broadside into Irving place, in the shape of a card, stating that his company would perform at Niblo’s Garden, alternating with Mr. Forrest. Hereupon Stra- kosch returns the fire, saying that he really don't want the Cortes! party at all, but that Servadio promised that he would not perform anywhere after his engagement at the Academy, ex- cept in the island of Cuba. Servadio ral- lies. states that it would be absurd for him to go to Cuba and get the yellow fever to oblige Strakosch, and that his contract con- tains no such proviso as that mentioned by the Academy manager. Now the crinoline be- gins to expand; Minerva joins Mars. Madame Cortesi takes a hand in the free fight, and re- plies to an attack upon her made by an even- ing paper. She declares that she sent word on the day before the performance that she would not be able to sing in “Norma,” and that Strakosch. not she, disappointed the public. And the upshot is that there will be two Opera companies for the present; that the quid nuncs will have something to talk about, and that after the rival managers have fought their fight out, when they have cut each other into smal! bits, broken up the business, thrown away the few dollars they might have made out of the strangers and sojourners in the me- tropolis—in fact. when they are utterly ruined— they will probably come together again, em- brace and have a grand reconciliation dinner and pacific solree—on credit. On the whole, we can hardly say whether the politicians or the Opera folks are the more ab- surd in their small quarrels and infantile brofls. Both, however. help to keep the public mind in a lively state of excitement, and while we have them with us we need not fear that we shall sigh in vain for our periodical row. We have only to say presto! and lo e ‘when barieey Gl be ths pao and ception among the sons and daughters of song. Festoy Doctmests.—The fusion documents which have been put forward for the last fort- night are perfectly ridiculous. None of them hits the point at issue. Each one is inspired by the idea of aggrandizing a section of a party or glorifying an individual as its standard bearer, and decrying the rival section and its leaders, while all this time the common enemy is overlooked, though making his advances with steady step, shoulder to shoulder, and s bold, unflinching front. The attempts at fusion for the gain of a few,” and never has this defini- tion been better illustrated than in the present campaign. The conservatives had the game in their hands, and their leaders have been ab- iv settee tee meeting of the Charicatoa Cos vention. But the recent fusion documents cap the climax of political foliy. Triumph of the Revolution at Naples Gartbaldt’s Italis® Programme. The Europa brings us positive information of the fact for which the lest advices had prepared us—that the King of * Naples had abandoned his capital at the first news of Garibaldi’s approach. He embarked immediately on board 8 Spanish frigate and proceeded to Gaeta. where it is his intention to await the ceurse of events. As this place is strongly fortified and within a short distance of the Papal frontiers, its selec- tion for his present retreat shows that the King is not without hope that a reaction may be pre- voked amongst the lower orders of Naples, or that the complications to which an invasion of the Roman territories and of Venice by Gari- baldi must lead would operate in his favor. I¢ is unnecessary to point out the utter improba- bility of these expectations. The authority of Victor Emanuel once proclaimed in the capital, and backed by a few regiments of Bersaglieri, the Twe Sicilies are as effectually lost to the Bourbons as if they had never reigned there. The only chances of a revolutionary movement lie with the lazzaroni, and they will be kept under effectual check by the precau- tions which Count Cavour has adopted. As to the royal troops, their {disposition has beea sufficiently tested by the readiness with which they. have abandoned their colors when- ever they have been confronted with the volunteers, Any expectations, there- fore, built upon the fidelity of either the rabble or the garrison, are certain to be disap- pointed. As to the further proceedings of Ga- ribaldi compromising the succeas of the revolu- tion, so far as the Two Sicilies are concerned, it is equally unlikely. France and England, ifnot exactly assenting parties to its objects, are pledged to non-intervention with them them- selves, and to the prevention of interference by the other Powers. It is only the prosecution of his designs against Rome and Venice that can make them act hostilely to Gari- baldi, and for these Sardinia will not be held responsible, if she gives no encou- ragement to them, and consequently will not lose her newly acquired rights in Naples. Her acquisition of the Two Sicilles, once’ratified by the vote of their population, will be a title good against all the world. It remains to be seen whether the Liberator, who has exhibited euch splendid military quali- ties throughout the whole of this movement, will risk his reputation for judgment and accurate calculation by pushing the cam- paign further at present, Ho must know that he cannot Sdvance ancther step without involving in ruin and death the crowds of gal- lant Italian youths who will be tempted to fol- low his fortunes. The odds are just now too many against him for him to hope to win for the people of Rome and Venice the liberties that he has conquered for their compatriots. Although daring and reckless of life where he — sees an important object to be gained, Garibaldi is not a man to run a muck against improbabi- Iities, the more especially when he knows that by waiting a short time the chances that he covets will be placed within his reach. Nothing would gratify the partisans of despotism more than to see him rush blindly on the obstacles that are opposed to the completion of his Italian Programme. His own good sense will prevent him committing such a folly; but should the ia- toxication of success overpower it, the cool head that inaugurated all these movements will interpoee to save Italy from the consequences of bis too ardent zeal, As the Dictator was expected in Naples on the 7th, the aext arrival will probabi7 bring uz the decrees establishing a provisional govera- ment until the will of the people can be ascer- tained. It is to be hoped that the change has been quietly effected, and that the persecutions and eufferings in which {t originated have marked their triumph by no violent excesses of any kind. Tue Jaraxzse Dosatioy to Tax Pouce.—We publish in another column the replies of the au- thorities of Washington, Baltimore and Phila- delphia to August Belmont, in acknowledgment of the amount donated to the police force of those cities out of the handsome sum presented by the Japanese Ambassadors for that purpose. Thir- teen thousand dollars, we believe, was the pro- portion allotted to the police of New York, and that sum, we understand, has been misoppropri- ated by our Police Commissioners, by deposit- ing it in some fund or other for the benefit of the widows and orphans of policemen, instead of dividing it among the men. It was cieariy the intention of the Japanese Princes to reward the individual policemen who kept order during the procession, at the ball, and around their apartments at the Metropolitan Hotel—thus in- suring them quietness and comfort during their stay in the city—and therefore we conceive thet the disposal made of the money by the Com missioners was a misappropriation. The money was designed will venture to say that most of them would prefer to receive their ten dollars, or whatever the proportion per capita may be, just now, when the winter is approaching; and it may be an object to men with moderate salaries, some of whom may be discharged from the force at any time. The probability is, that with the present disposition of the money, it will be ap- Propriated to some political purpose, possibly to reward some favorites of the Commissioners, or to compensate for services rendered to the re- publican party in the coming election. In dis- posing of donations the intention of the donors should be fcithfully carried out, and we hardly think it is with regard to the shure of the Japa- nese gift to the New York police. Assempty Nomrsations.—The Breckiaridge wing of the democracy in the Fourth Amembiy district of Kings county have renominated James Darcy for member of Assembly, and it is stated that he is confident, not only of re- ceiving the nomination of the other wing, but also of securing his re-election. Mr. Darcy may be a very innocent man; but according to the printed journal of the last in- famous Legislature, he was frequently found im bad company. His record is anything but en- viable. When George Law’s famous Gridiron Railroad bill, after passing the Senate with lightning speed, was reported adversely apon by the House Committee on Cities and Villages, 8 motion was made to agree with the report. The friends of the measure, in order to prevent the monster from being strangled so suddenly, and to get time to negotiate votes, moved te lay the subject on the table for the present. | Wefind Mr. Darcy’s name recorded in the list of ‘yeas’ on that motion, He, however, dodged ‘
