The News. Wibe steamship Adriatic, from Liverpool, 12th inst., with three days later news from Earope, ar- this port at half-past twelve o’clock this rive morning. Garibaldi entered Naples on the Sth inst., amidst the acclamations of the people, and had proclaimed Victor Emanuel King of Italy. The Neapolitan navy had refused to follow the King to Gaeta. Inscrrections had broken out in various portions of the Papal States. The Emperor of Austria had determined to grant important reforms in Hungary, with a view of con- ciliating the people. The harvest was progressing in Great Britain, the weather being very favorable; it was said the wheat crop would bea full average and of fine quality, and that the barley and rye crops would be satisfactory. Breadstuffs were dull. Cotton was firm at slightly increased rates. The steamship Ariel, from Aspinwall 15th inst., arrived at this port yesterday, bringing the passen- gers, mails and over one million of dollars in trea- sure, brought to Panama by the San Francisco steamship of the Ist inst.; also important news from Central America. The news from Japan, brought to San Francisco by the bark What Cheer, from Yokohama to the 18th of July, is quite interesting. The Japanese cor-| vette Candinmarruh arrived at home from San Francisco, carrying the news of the arrival of the Japanese Embasy in the United States. The “Japs” were taken by surprise at the flattering news received of the gorgeousness and hospitality extended to their representatives, but anxiety still existed to hear the official report from the Em- bassy. The hostile attitude, reported by previous advices, between the Princes of the empire, has been reconciled by compromises. The real cause of the difficulty is not known to outside barbarians, on account of the conflicting and contradictory reports. Foreign merchandise had found its way to Jeddo; American cottons and woollens were principally displayed for sale from the stores of the principal merchants. A well de- fined hostility exists between the native officials and merchants, the former being afraid that the Others will get wealthy with the trade with foreign- ers, and thus wield a money power. Consequently spies are placed over the merchants, and every means employed to reduce their income, in order that tley may have no wealth. A Portuguese man-ot-war had arrived at Yokohama, prepared to eater into « treaty of commerce with Japan. At last advices the ofticials empowered to negotiate were at Jeddo. fn New Granada the federal government a) to be triumphing in all directions, and sev re- verses on the part of the revolutionists are reported. In a recent engagement the Governor of the State of Santander is said to have been made prisoner. The Governor of Panama has had his attention eatled to the Chiriqui Thompson grant, by an arti- cle ia the New Yorx Heaatp, and the Attorney General has been directed to institute an investiga- tion. The Governor, in his message, declares the graat null and void. The claims of the United States against Peru are still unsettled, President Castilla, who, by the way, has quite recovered from his wound, refusing to settle the question or submit to its settlement by aoy other than a third friendly Power. This propo- 8.4.00, it is understood, has been rejected by our go- verament. The President ofthe Assembly, whoisthe His op of Arequipa, bas introduced « project of a new constitution. Guano contracts are still sub- ject to the approval of the President only, a bill to pace that power in the hands of Congress having boo defeated. Tue Chilean Congress was still in session at San- tiogo. The report of the Minister of Marine, which © | be found in the news from Chile elsewhere, is resting The weather had been quite severe recks are reported. A sea captain on m Valparaiso to Arica, reports having land fifteen miles long, which bad just thrown up from the sea. 2 Eousdor affvirs seem to be all in favor of Franco failed to get any sympathy at He is said to be committing outrages er he can. He withdrew the exequatar Mr. Cazenova, United States Consul at that that gentleman had gone in search ofa tates vessel. In Central America everything was quiet. There is no sews of Walker, whose fate is not yet known. ‘The sews published a few days ago to the effect that he lad been shot, was only a rehash of the news received via Havana, by the Spanish steamer Francisco de Asis, which sailed the day Walker was placed in confinement at Truxillo, Ac extra session of the Costa Rican Congress had ea called, but for what purpose is not known. resideat Martiner, of Nicaragua, was still in fail- iog health, and it is said be will resign next Jan- uary We have received an interesting communication from our Salt Lake correspondent, under date of the S0th ult.

An ox cart train, ad three hundred Americans, Swiss, British and Freach emigrants, arrived out from the States on the 20th ult.; their entrance into Salt Lake City was made an occasion of jubilee by the “Saints.” Colonel St. George Cooke, the newly appointed military commander of the department of Utah, escorted by eighty recruits, arrived at Camp Floyd ou the 18th ult, Surveyor General Stambaugh, with a party of assistants, had returned to Salt Lake City, after having completed the Mogo Sur- veys: his report had not been made public. We have advices to the 16th ult. from Pernam buco, The weather sq far Lad been favorable for the crops. The crop of sugar, it is estimated, will fall abort of inst year by 25,000 tons, and will not exceed 66,000 tons. Prices have not varied through the month, Total ehipments since October 1, 1859, 45,906 tons. The yield of cotton is expected to be larger than the average. Hides have declined to 2124 rs, for dry salted. Plour is quoted at 184000 a 20)|000 for Philadelphia and Richmond; receipts for the month, 5,120 bbls. from Philadelphia and New York; stock on hand, 13,000 bbls. Lard, 360 rs. Rosin, 6/500 in bond. Sperm candies, 1/2000. Another case of resistance to the Fugitive Slave law occurred at Iberia, Morrow county, Ohio, on Thursday last. After a negro had been captared by the United States Marsha! and his deputies, and, after examination, had been remanded to the cus- tody of his master, one of the deputies was assailed by a crowd of armed negroes and white men, his clothes torn from his body, his warrant and money taken from him, and an attempt made to hang and shoot him. Finally his hair was cut short, and he was allowed to depart, leaving the negro behind him. herschel V. Johnsen, one of the candidates for the Vice Presidency, on Saturday evening addressed a large meeting of the democracy at Pittsburg, Pa. He spoke in favor of non-intervention with the rights of the South, and his remarks were received with much enthusiasm by the vast assemblage. In our paper this morning we give some extracts from our exchanges furnishing interesting details of the movements of the Prince of Wales during the last day he was in Canada and the first of his arrival in the United States, with additional particu- lars of his reception in Detroit. The racer Daniel Boone, who was to contend in the great four mile race to take place over the Fashion Course to-morrow, while taking his exer- cise on Saturday last, injured himself so severely that he will be unable to run. The race will, therefore, take place between Congaree and Planet alone. ‘The sales of cotton on Saturday embraced 1,500 bales, ‘The supplios of new cottons are yot so light that no re. gular quotations have been established, The new yield arrives clean, and generally in good condition, and is wanted for export. It ranks higher than old cotton of the same grade. Oid middling uplands are quoted at 1034c,, Florida middling old do. at the same figure, and New Orleans and Texas middiings at 107{c. @ Ilc.; as supplies of Gulf cottons are very light, these quotations may be considered somewhat nominal; middling (air new Gulf cottons were selling in small lots at 120.8 12%¢c. ‘The flour market was heavy, and sales moderate; the re- ceipts were large, and the turn of the market in favor of the porchaser. The receipts of wheat were large, and prices 2c. @ Sc. per bushel lower. Corn wea also easier. Private letters by the Europa ‘were not encouraging. A letter wat received by & shipping house here from its Liverpool friends, (whose previous letiers had been of a gloomy tone regard- ing the prospects), stating that two weeks more of good weather from that date would give England » yield equal to that of last year. All thoughts of those engaged in the trade bere are turned towards the next news, by the Adriatic, which, it is supposed, will prove decisive one ‘way or the other, since no steamer due at this port in months, if in years past, contained more important news to our country than that on its way by that steamer. Pork was steady, with sales of new meas at $19 30a 919 40, and new prime at $l4a $14 25. Sugars were steady, with sales of 700 900 hhds. Coflee was firm and quiet. Freights closed with more firmness, and wheat was engaged for Liverpool, in bulk and bags, at 13d. Progress of the Conservative Idea—The Popular Movement in the Three Cen- tral States. That the people will throw overboard the politicians in the three central and commercial States, or compel them to forego their petty spites and schemes against a union of the conservative interests for the defeat of Lin- coln, has long been clear to us, and it is now becoming evident to the political jugglers themselves. The interests which New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have involved in the result of the pending Presidential election are too vast and all-pervading to permit them to be overridden and destroyed by the contests of a horde of selfish politicians, intent only on se- curing a few local spoils. County offices, seats in a corrupt Assembly, and the ambition of three or four dozens of prize fighters, shoulder hitters and lottery policy men to go to Con- gress, are the ruling impulses of poli- tical committees and- conventions, and their whole policy is summed up in the explosive declaration of Dean Richmond, “Damn the national election! the local offices are what we must look out for.” Now the people are beginning to open their eyes at the inevitable suicide which must follow the prac- tice of such a national policy, for they see and feel that it is on our national existence that our local prosperity depends. Therefore it is that @ political revolution has been made, though the politicians do not see it, and will not admit it until after the election shall have left them all high and dry. The popular vote cannot be brought to divide and subdivide itaelf, to advance the interests of a few despe- rate and shortsighted politicians, to the utter exclusion of the great national Interests which underlie people and politicians alike. This feeling, which is running like a steady tide through the hearts of the people of these three adjacent States, is inaugurating a new era in politics and parties. The multiform ramifications of the commerce of New York, the manufactures of New Jersey, and the mining and manufacturing interests of Pennsylvania, constitute the heart of our national orga- nization. Their sensitive pulses are quick to feel the evil that presses on any portion of the body politic, and the first to give the alarm of danger. They perceive the rnin that will come to all if the fanatical theories that ani- mate the black republican party are allowed to control our national policy. The New York merchant foresees that the establishment of the black republican’s favorite idea—an “irrepree- sible conflict” between the North and the South—will cause bis trade to dwindle, and the value of his labors to the North to shrivel, The manufacturer and miner of New Jersey and Pennsylvania see in its realization the turning of Southern markets to the fostering of Southern industry, and the consequent esta- blishment of “an irrepressible condict” in trade aswell as in moral and social ideas. Anda still greater element of strength in the new Political era will be the contemplation by the farmers of all these States of crowds of roving negroes, liberated by the black republican policy, hiving northward in that imaginary ne- gro paradise, the black republican’s home. The effect that will be produced by the swarming northward of hundreds of thou- sands of idle, thieving, ignorant and vicious liberated negroes may now be foreseen in the effect produced by the presence of a few hundreds in the southern tier of counties in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Hos tile legislation necessarily meets them at every step, and the industrious white man is even now forced to drive them from his community in order to preserve his own havings. There are the bases of the new political party, which is founding itself, in spite of the politi- cians, in self-defence against the destructive theories of the black republican demagogues, It is founded in the material interests of the | Reception of the Primce of Wales im the whole people, its arguments come home to every man’s pocket, and it will sooner or later eweep the whole country triumphantly. The throes of Tis birth are seen in the efforts at pelitical fusion in the three great States from whose heart the life currents of the Union sre quick- ened, and its first act will be the election, ia October, of Foster, the conservative candidate for Governor in Pennsylvania. To this object now should be directed the united efforts of the Conservative interests of these three States. Let them secure the election of Governor !oster on the 9th day of October next, and we shall hear No more of straight Douglas, straight Breck- inridge, or straight factious tickets of any kind, for the Presidential election in November. The Union ticket will carry all three of these States if its suceess is secured in the October election in Pennsy!vania. This event may depend upon the good will of the merchants of New York, and they can and should do much towards bringing it about. Union or Disunion—William L. Yancey Versus William H. Seward. We published the other day, in the same poli- tical chapter, a characteristic speech of Hon. William L, Yancey, delivered at Washington on Friday evening last, and a brief report of a campaign speech of Mr. Seward at Dubuque, Towa, on the same evening. It was a remarka- ble coincidence that at the same time, although a thousand miles apart, the great special cham- pion of the Southern pro-slavery fire-eaters and the great apostle of the anti-slavery black re- publicans should be edifying us in the HeraLp office, as if Yancey were whispering in one ear and Seward in the other, each his peculiar views to our special attention. It is more remarkable, however, that between these two men, and their conflicting principles, purposes and tendencies, all the elements and dangers of disunion, North and South, are repre- sented. In his last Friday evening's speech at Dubuque, Mr. Seward said that “the national policy on the eubject of labor has been for the last forty years erroneous, false and tending to ruin, and it must be reversed;” and that it is the policy and the purpose of the republican party “to circumscribe slavery and to fortify and extend freedom.” “They would insist that the remaining Territories and all that may be hereafter acquired be free Territories and free States.” Mr. Seward also remarked that “Mayor Wood had made the discovery that we were a trading people, and that our trade would cease if the republicans came into power;” but, said the Sage of Auburn, “to say that trade is the great occupation, the one idea, of the American pecple, is a lie.” . Yancey, in Washington, meantime, ad- dressed the people “as the friend of the con- stitution, and of the Union under the constitu- tion, and as the enemy of any other Union, come from what source it may;” and he hoped that men were present “representing all parties except that party” which he denounced as “the enemy of the constitution—the black republi- can party.” Mr. Yancey also referred to the late “stateemanlike speech of Mayor Wood,” and said, “let New York see to it, if she loves her commerce and loves her palatial houses and princely merchants—let her see to it that the South, driven to the wall, does not make a New York of Baltimore, Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans,” while grass shall grow in the streets of New York. Such are the broad distinctions between Mr. Seward and Mr. Yancey. The one, inspired with the prospects of Lincoln's election, hails the breaking day of the Southern slave's deli- verance, not by force of arms—oh! no—but simply by putting the “slave power” under the hydraulic pressure of an anti-slavery govern- ment in allits branches. He will do his great work‘of making “all the States free State,” by & broad and general anti-slavery interpreta- tion of the constitution. No wonder that in this view the republican party is denounced by Mr. Yancey as the enemy of the constitution, without which the Union to the South is but an engine of despotism and subjugation. Hence the earnestness of Mr. Yancey’sappeal to all the conservative elements of the North, and especially of New York, to combine for the common purpose of defeating Lincoln, because, with his election, Mr. Yancey holds that that Union which is the Union of the constitution will have ceased to exist, and the South will be driven tothe wall. And how can it be otherwise, with this active crusading Northern holy anti-slavery alliance installed in power at Washington? Looking, then, at the practical meaning of this speech of Seward and this speech of Yancey, we see that they are both charged with the combustibles of disunion—aggreasive on the one side, defensive on the other, but both drift- ing to the same ultimatum. What say our conservative commercial inte- rests of this city—union or disunion’ Is it not manifest, from the programme of Mr. Seward and the warnings of Mr. Yancey, that Liacola’s election will administer ‘a staggering blow to the commercial and financial interests of New York! Let there be union among them, upon the common principle of self-preservation, and Lincoln will be defeated, and the schemes of Seward and the threatenings of Yancey will vanish into thin air. Newsrarer Evrerretse rx Evota.— It is a lit- tle surprising that the newspaper press of India should be so far bebind the age, considering that it is the product of English enterprise and capital, and more particularly when we con- sider to what an advanced stage of progress newspapers have arrived in the British colony of Australia. The leading jour- nal in the latter place is printed on one of Hoe's lightning presees, which throws off fifteen thou- sand sheets an hour, while we find an Indian newspaper of a late date making a creat boast that the Bombay Times and Standard haa just imported a press which throws off a thousand copies in the same time, and congratulating the Proprietors on their enterprise in substituting it for the old machine, which, it appears, took five hours to print one thousand copies. Truly the progress of British India is marvellous! Warcn 1s Tax Max !—Hon. W. L. Dayton, of New Jersey, in his elaborate speech at the Cooper Institute the other evening, represented the republicans as the most conservative, con- ciliatory and nationally patriotic party with which the country has been blest for many long day. On the other hand, Mr, Seward, from place to place, on his Western pilgrimage, preaches the “irrepressible conflict,” and tells us that one republican administration will put an end to Southern slavery. But which of these two men speaks by anthority—Mr. Dayton or Mr. Seward! We call upon the Hon. Massa Greeley, of Oregon, for an answer. Umited Gtates—The Heal Meaning of the Demonstration. We perceive that some of the old ladies who conduct the Wall street blanket style of jour- nals are much exercised in their minds at the empressement of the people of Detroit om the occasion of the Prince of Wales’ reception. The Detroiters are said, by this authority, to have behaved “more like an emancipated me- nagerie than a body of civilized men.” Fur- ther along we are told that if the people of the United States “have any self-respect they will put down the illbred and impertinent rab- ble which presumes to interfere with the free movements and comfort of a gentleman travel- ling in no official capacity, and declining all public ovat af Now, while all this is to a certain extent true as to its conclusions, it ia not exactly cor- rect in its conclusions. It istrue that the Prince comes here in a sort of semi-incognito, but he does not travel like a private gentleman by any means, On the contrary, he has a royal suite, which includes one of the Ministers of the Crown, an officer of the Queen’s household, a Governor who is a Major General in the ar- my, 4 physician, an equery,and so on. The movements of the party are calculated rather to incite than to repel curiosity. Evidently the Prince courts and enjoys popular favor. He drives about in opea carriages, with four horses, and at Chicago he shows himself to the people several times, according to advertise- ment, and in a very marked manner. As to the Detroit reception, we have no information that the crowd behaved in any rude or unseemly way. It was a good§humored crowd—a cheer- ing crowd—a most enthusiastic crowd—a crowd such as the Prince may have seen in Hyde park when the Queen distributed the Victoria Cross to the Crimean heroes. We are at a loss to see why the people of Detroit should be called “an impertinent rabble.’ However, the affair is of no great moment. If the Wolverine crowd was a little too large for the ground it stood on, the circumstance will be duly noted, and will produce a good effect upon the people of the other cities which the Prince may visit. They will be very careful not to infringe upon the rules of “that honest and simple republican courtesy” that our fossilized contemporary talks about. Every one will recollect how disgrace- fully the mob in Philadelphia behaved when the Japanese Embassy arrived in that city. The torrent of popular disapprobation which those occurrences called forth acted like a charm upon the rowdy population of New York, who received the Japanese with the utmost cour- "We are sak ok all’ surpiaen’ to hear that thé gentlemen of the Prince's suite were astonished at the warmth of the reception which they re- ceived when ihey landed upon our soil. The cheers that rang out from the thirty thousand freemen who ealuted the Prince at Detroit had quite a different meaning from the demonstra- tions made by the Canadians. They received their future King—the immediate representa- tive of the sovereign. They desired to prove their affection to the person of the Queen and their attachment to the home government, and at the same time had something to gain by so doing. In this country we have no euch feeling. The reception of the Prince is in no sense a Political one. To be sure we recognise the fact that England is the only great European Power which is free from the shackles of absolutism, and that, like the United States, the soil of Great Britain offers a sanctuary to the oppressed of every clime. This is the common bond of sym- pathy between two liberal governments, and may be called political to a certain extent. But the coming of the Prince stirs other feelings. Old England—the land from which we sprang, the land which gave us our language, our com- mon law, our religion and our literature—sends its hereditery Prince to greet the sturdy scion ofa glorious mother. History and romance, our earliest recollections and first explorations in the storied page are crowded with reminiscences of the Princes of Wales. In this respect we are all Englishmen: our imagination is appealed to through the same medium. Eve- ry child will tell you the story of the first Prince of Wales, or of Edward, the Black Prince, and his heroism on the field of Cressy; of that mad- cap Hal, of whom Shakspere gives co brilliant and vivid s picture; of the young Prince Ed- ward, and his little brother, the Duke of York, who were murdered at the command of their cruel uncle Gloster: or of the hunted Charles, and his concealment from the Puritan troopers in the famous oak. Thus the visit of the Prince has a poetic and romantic interest for every young man and maiden (especially the maidens) inthe land. Then the merchants and bankers and traders look at the thing in busines: point of view, and consider the Prince as the repre- sentative of our best customer and good friend: then he is a fine, manly young fellow, fall of animal spirits, and animated apparently with the true spirit of his gallant ancestors. and this gives him a strong hold on the American beart, so full of generous impulses, so hospitable. so mercurial, so excitable. and, if we may coin a word, so sensational. So the Prince's career from Detroit to Portland will be one continued ovation. The ladies will light his pathway with their brightest smiles, and the young men will ealute him with those hearty cheers which well up from hearts that have never known care nor sorrow. We have no doubt that the Duke of Newcas- tle and the other gentlemen of the Prince's suite will understand the real meaning of the American reception of their youthful charge. That he enters fully into the spirit of it ls alrea- ay apparent. All our reminiscences, the his- tory, the poetry, the romance of England for ten centuries, are concentrated in the hurzas with which we greet the Prince of Wales. Curxatxa News rrow Jicay.—We publish in another column some highly interesting news from Japan, by which it wil! be seen that the arrival there of an account of the reception of the Embassy in this country had created a great sensation and much gratification among the people. There is also a very important feature in this news, which, if true, may tave a most cheering influence on our commerce with that country, It was generally s pposed, and sc given out by the imperial government, that the revolutionary Prince Meto, who has been en- deavoring to subvert the present dynasty, was very hostile to foreigners and entirely opposed to the opening of foreign commerce; bot ft has now come to light that Prince Meto is more of ® free trader than the imperial government itself, and that one of the canses of difficulty has been his dissatisfaction that the whole coun- try is not thrown open to foreign trade. This being the case, it ls evident that the news of the reception of the Ambawadors in this country, and the account they will give them- selves of their hospitable treatment, the mag- nificence of the United States, and the industry of its people, will tend to make the treaty secure and perpetual, and to render the party of Prince Meto exceedingly popular. While this liberal sentiment pervades the NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPIT ern Wasmunctos, Sept. 23, 181 ‘TS DANN GOvEREemY AND rum cAPTTRED svt 1 understand that Chamberland Rotbe, of 8t.

While the mission of Mr. Lindsay to this country be productive of future benefits to both countries, not very probable that any immediate results will be} Complished. The Presidect has vo authority to act gard to the questions which it is a/leged he comes to gotiate. Congress must firet acthorize him to mo the matter; that body, and that body only, bas power to remove any unjust restrictiongwhich exist the commercial intercourse between the two nations, until Congress indicates ita wishes upon the subject, President will hardly move in the matter. However, government will hear what Mr. Lindsay has to eay. President may be induced to submit the matter to th: teation of Congress in his forthcoming message order to keep ground against the revolutionary party, and thus we shall probably obtain fuller advantages from the negotiation of the treaty than were contemplated, under the view that there was a strong party in Japan opposed to the measure. Tue ConoressionaL Contest ry Tars C:rr, axp THE IerorTaNcE of THE Position.—The trading and bartering politicians who control the numerous grog shop cliques are still busy endeavoring to force upon the public repre- sentatives of their class for members of Con- gress, as if a man whose only education and associations have been in the alehouses and brothels of the city is qualified to represent a commercial city of the wealth and intelligence of New York in the halls of Congress. It needs something more than the atmos- phere of the City Hall, or our numerous drink- ing holes, to ft aman to wear Congressional robes with an honor to himself as well as those whom he represents. A person, to discharge the duties of that office as it behooves a man occupying that important position, has some- thing more to do than simply to drink whiskey, smoke segars, and vote like an automaton. A member of Congress is called upon, not only to look after the interests of the district which he directly represents, but to take a sur- vey of our widespread domain and a states- manlike view of the bearing upon the country at large of theseveral questions brought before him. The most important and vital interests of the nation are entrusted to the charge of mem- bers of Congress; they are the guardians of the national treasury, our Territories, the army and navy—in fact, our national prospe- rity and the respect of our flag, at home and upon the seas, depend upon their action. They are called upon to legislate for our republic in all its varied interests, spread over a wide ex- tent of country, from lakes to gulf, and from ocean to ocean; to enact laws to protect and develope its agricultural, mineral, commercial and political interests. Are these pothouse politicians, who look at public affairs through the atmosphere of our grogshops, and have taken their several initiative steps in govern- mental affairs at the City Hall, as mambers of <hé Board of Councilmen or Board of Alder- men—who are not only unable to make a legible and intelligent report from 3 committee, but can hardly write their owa names—capable of discharging that important duty? Are these the men that New York should send to Wash- ington to speak for her in our national coun- cils? Let the people look after the several Congressional nominations, or they may have the blackguards from the City Hall forced upon Non-Arrival of the Anglo-Saxon. Farrase Pour, C.
