The steamship Anglo-Saxon, with two dere later intelligence from Etrope, arrived at Quebec yesterday morning. The political news is of an Important character, indicating a critical condition of affairs on the Continent. Comments upon it ‘will be found in our editorial columns. The Liver Pool cotton market exhibited an advance of an eighth to a quarter of a penny on the etions of the week, and closed quietly. pal advance was on middling and low qu of cot: ton. Flour was dull; wheat and corn firm, at fall rates, and provisic dy. A telegraphic sum- mary of the news is given elsewhere, The steamship Persia, with advices from Europe fo the 16th inst., two days later than the news re- ceived by the Anglo Saxon, arrived here at an warly hour this morning. Affairs in Italy present mo change from that indicated by the Anglo Saxon’s news. The King of Naples Lad gone to Spain, fad the French Minister bad left Turin. A slight change had occurred in the marlgts, but they were generally as when the Anglo Saxon left. Money was easy in London New Orleans advices state that General Walker and Colonel Radler have not been shot, and would shortly arrive in that city.

The reply was approved, and the Board Qhen adjourned. The number of emigrants ar- Pived here for the week was 07, making the amber for the year, so far, 79,969. The commu Ration balance ix now down to $8,440 54. The Police Commissioners yesterday appointed Danici Holland Sergeant of Marbor Police, and dis Rnisscd Thomas Byrnes, of the Twenty-first pre ginct.

By the Quebee steamer yesterday we Lave | two daze later news from Burope, The intelli- gence fs of the most atartling character. The Papal queation has assumed gigantic dimen- cloaa, The Piedmonteee forces are in fall Mmarob cpon Rome, Garibaldi sad bis army, flushed with victory acd strengthened by Nea- pollta accessions, cannot remain Idle, but are before this time, without reasonable douht, en roule for the Seven Billed City, The Sardinian tcoops bad already taken one of the Pope's gar- risoned towns, and sent the commander of the Holy Father's troops a prisoner to Torin. These movements Lad been strongly disap- proved of by the great Powers—-I’rance, Russia Prussia. The rcelstions between the Sar- a and French governments, heretofore of the most friendly character, are now said to be critical. The French gerrison at Rome is to be increased te ten thousand men, and General Guyon ls to be sent from Paris to command it The Emperors of Russia and Austria and the Prince Regent of Prussia are to meet together at Waranw next Mon. day. General Lamoriciere bad concentrated his troops at Ancoua, where he undoubtedly intends te give the Sardinians battle. The Paris Bourse and London Exchange are flat. Tho English opinion that the revolutionary tide in Italy is eo strong that it will overwhelm Victor Emanuel altogether, and that the Em- peror Napoleon will stand by quietly and let matters take thelr own way. Asa matter of coursa, there could be no auch thing as & wide spread revolution in Italy without its extension to Germany and Hungary. Even now Kos- | suth and Klapka sre at Turie, plotting, no | doubt, another rising of the Magyars. A repe- titioa of the revolutionary scenes of 1848, which begaz in Italy, seems inevitable. The present sapect of European afairs is indeed o critical one. The Papal questioh is not the only one to be settled. The old battle, often hotly contested, but never entirely won— the conflict between liberalism and absclutiam— is tobe fought over again. The question as to the poor old Pope and bis temporal power is only an excuse for the rekindling of those fires which burst out in France in 176? and in Italy tn 1548. Victor Emanuel, good king, but better soldier than statesman, seems to be in the position of Louis XVI. before the Reign of Terror. It was the intention of the Frenck king to give his people all they could reaacnably desire. To carry out his purpose be caused the Three Eatates to be summoned, acd with the aid of moderate men like Mirabeau and Lafayette, it seemed probable that the King’s party would weather the etorm. But the Jacobins swept everything before them, and deluged France with the blood of Frenchmen. Today Victor Emanuel is Louls XVI; Garibaldi is the La- fayette of the hour. The Jacobins are the red republicans. They have their secret clubs all over the Centinent When the tocsin sounds sansculoties by the bondred thousand will spring to thelr arms. War, rapine, carnage and snarchy will rule the hour. Let us look fore moment at the field. As our readers are already aware, there have been the most serious dificultics in the way of the statesmen who are endeavoring to reconstruct the governments of Italy and to moald them Into s homogeneous kingdom, over whichjVictor Emanuel hopes to reign as constitutional mo- narch. Austrian influence is sul potent, and gold wins o passage where the beyonet failed. It is clearly the policy of the great Powers, ex- cepting Englaad, to keep Italy hopeless and disorganized; for the moment that Italy is free Ilungary rises in revolution, aad all Europe is | plunged into e general war. | Thus the eigns of the times point towards | great events in Europe. Thrones are already | tottering, and kings will eoon fall; old systeras will be swept away aad new ones will gra dually rlee from the wreck. The statesmen who have taken the Papal question in hand will find that It Is one of the least of the difi culties which they must meet. It is, however, | the match wherewith the train, which has been | \ | tata these sixty yeare and more, fe to be fired. When the conflict does come, it will be dread- ful. Ismay be postponed for o time, but as things look now it will be precipitated. We may look for the intelligence that the flames of larurrection bare burst out all over Southern Europe, by any arrival, however early. Mean- while our people, in a state of profound peace and prosperity, will watch with eager eyes and beating hearts for the denouement of that grand drama in which the destinies of Earope are to be decided, and cid time despotiams are to be replaced by better and purer forms of govern- ment. The struggle will ben fearful one, but that its result will be favorable to the op- pressed—that freedom’s battle will be even- tually won, and that the right will triumph—is Seyond peradventure. Truly, as Galileo said, the world does move. The Great Crisis of the Nation—The Present and the Future. ‘The izeue of the present political campsign forms a crisis in the policy and progress of our national cevelopement fraught with present dissster and future ruin to our whole social acd politics! An attempt is being mede by Seward, Lin- coin, Wieon, Sumzer, and a host of other dema- gogues, to engraft upon our policy of natioual developement a eeries of philosophical and ab etract ideas which have grown up in Europe, where an entirely different etate of society ex- iota, and that cannot with safety be appiied to our own. The people of Europe are a homo- geneous race. Where social or political eub- jection bas existed there it has been that of the uneducsted or the poorer classes to the more educated or the wealthier pf their own race. The “doctrines of sccla! and political equality, there- fore, have had nothing to contend with but the advectitious ¢lroumstagees of social ex- fstence; and the theories of equal righte can be practically applied with out introducing inte the body politic any permanent elementa of discord. The vicis- situdes of life carry men from oze class to an- otber in cociet7, avd tenf continually to their emalgamation withcut lowering the standard of ita condition, But the efforts of these imitators of European philosophy to introduce its principles into Ame ricaa society tend to « very different result. In the United States population comprises two, and in nearly all the other countries of this continent (bree, dissonant and unequal races, These ure the white, the Indian snd the negro. They cannot amalgamate without degenerating. This truih does not depend upon theory. It has been demovstrated by the application of the Europeaa prixciples to soclety in the eman- cipated coustries of Spanish America. There social and political equality has beer confer. red upon sll of them, and all have thereby been losers ir & moral, inteilectual and material point of view. Industry and commerce have waned Religion has degenerated into priest- craft on one side and superstition on the other. Politics have subsided into the practice of robbery under the name of govern- ment. Literature, science, the mechanic ets ond manufactures have receded, until they have become the crudeet imitations of the productions of the European mind. The exiat- ing roade, bridges, churches and public edifices of note are thoze that were constructed under the rule of the white race in the colonial era. The tone and standard of society have been greatly lowered, the forest tas resumed its sway over moay of the cultivaied flelds, and brute force haa eubstituted ita mle for that of intellect. This attempt of Seward and his followers to engraft these European principles upon onr policy and prectice of government constitutes the great error ani evil of the black republican pacty. In the Nertbern States they can be pro- claimed with safty to eociety, because we are here a homogeneous race, The Indian has disappesred, aud the negro constitutes ac in- fizitessimal portion of our population, Yet even here there is en ineradicable sentiment of repugnance in the bosom of the white to social equality and assimilation with the block. Butin making the European theories the rule of policy for the federal government, all ite powers become converted into instruments of a war ogainst the eocial organization of fifteen States of the Union, where four millious of the inferior race of negroes are held in social and political subjection. This ts the burden of all the speeches of Lincoln, Seward, Sumner, Wil- won and the active republican leaders in the present campuign. Al! their harangues are di- rected againat the institution of domestic servi- tude in the South Ther ell declare that slavery must be abolished wherever it exists, and the four millions of negroes admitted to equal social and political rights. ‘This, then, is the true issue of the present campaign, and it constitutes a crisis in our na- tional existence, and a dange? for our future developement. Its aim is to establish an “irre- pressible conflict,” not between {ndividuals or partics in the North and the South, but be tween « zealous and fanatical party in the North, with all the powers of the government in its posseaeion. and society itself in the South. Sach # contest must be terrible in ite triumph to the fifteen Southern States, and eminently disastrous to those of the North. In the South, the liberation cf four millions of the inferior negro race would reduce its society to the con” Gitlon of that of the Spanish-American republics south of us, The impoverished whites would fice to the Northern communities, crowd- ing every purexit of human industry. The emancipated blacks themselves would abandon the rulned social edifice they had once inhabit ed, and swarm Northward to the paradise of black republican theories, and border free States wonld be cverrun with the outpouring bands of ignorant, indolent and mischievous ne- groes. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the southern counties of Ohio, Indiana and [iliaois would inevitably be filled with their dissolute and thieving hordes. But it would not be necessary to wait for the triumph of the black republican polloy of libe- rating four millions of negroes, and admitting them to equal social and political privileges. The processes by which that triumph would be chtained are equally dangerous to our national existence and developement. We are told that nothing would be dove that is not constitu tional; that the national army and onary would not be employed to force emancipation ; only that they would not be naedto prevent liberat ed slaves from carrying civil war into the slave States, ond that the federal courts would be reorganired co ne to pro- tect the work of destroying slavery. ‘That means that agitation is to be carried on with the countenance of the goveroment; that the underground railroad isto be brought to the light of open day; that tte scenes enacted by John Brown in Virglaia and the terrorists in Texas are to be repeated in every Southern State, with the sympatby of those in govern- ment, if not with their open countenance and aid. Can any man contemplate the possibility of such things without trembling at their inevi- table results? These are what the conservative men of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are now called upon to foresee and to prevent. It is a mighty crisis in our national existence. In each Of these States wise men, with a view to our national safety, have presented electoral tick- ts for the united support of all the conserva tive classes, Let these fusion tickets be every- where cealously sustained. Nothing is to be gained to-dey by factious clinging to individual preferences. Every man should give up bis private wishes on minor points to secure the | Mr, James €. Brady and the Volunteer great gocd of the defeat of Lincoln, This is the great point of the present campaign, and it carries with it all the minor ones. If he is elect- ed the conservative wishes of the Breckinridge men, the Bell men and the Douglas men will all be blasted, and the whole country will pause in ita hitherto prosperous developement to enter upon a career of agitation and inter necine strife that oan end only ia universal ruin Tae Mereoroutan axp Courrry Press— Boovs Trrxcrarmc Desratoues.—Our rural contemporaries, jealous of the enterprise of the metropolitan press, are in the habit of resorting to all sorts of silly fabrications to counteract the influence which it naturally gives it For example, our telegraphic despatches, and foreign correspondence are favorite objects of attack with them, for the simple reason that they involve an smount of expenditure which thé ceuntry papers cannot approech. It matters not that they afford inheront evidence of their suthen- ticity: the provincial editors can see in them only the home manufactured article. In saying 50 they pay us the highest compli- ment that can be offered us; for if we were to invent in our office the subject matter of the in- formation contained in the communications that we daily publish, we might set oureelves up 46 rivals to the sybils and oracles of old. If but & tithe of what the country editora narert of us in this connection were true, the marvels recorded of the prophets of antiquity would fade into insignificance before the wonders that we daily work out on paper. Whether we are gifted with supernataral powers, or are elmply endowed with more energy than the ordinary run of journalists, it is for the public to decide. We ourselves fee! but little concérn as to which conclusion our rivals arrive at, being contented with the results which the exercise of etther faculty produces ue, When we fiud our etatements of news falet- fied by events, and our readers losing faith in us, then we may begin to doubt the efficacy of the gifts that are attributed to us. Uniuckily, however, for the veracity of these country ecriber, other New York papers are rot in a position to trest their calumnies with the same indifference. A recently estublished Gaily, and therefore the more sensitive to such attacks, contains the following from ite Wasb-. ington correspondent:— The Philadelphia Eennugicentan of Friday teat, ina despatch from bere, inedce to | abrencr os the impertineace timate that my despatches originate tn the World office.

I have this from the the telegraph Mee, and it may be relied on. There can be no doubi of the correctness of this statement. It is notorious that the country journals subsist merely by the aid of party con- tributions and such black mail as they can ex- tort from politicians. They have no inde- pendent existence, and consequently they have Neither the means nor the enterprise to use the facilities which the telegraph affords. The tele- graph bills ot the Hrnatn average weekly from ten “to fifteen hundred dollars, and ite busi- ness receipts are sufficiently large to buy out the whole stock and fateresi of the country journals, with the rotten factions of which they are the organs to boot. We may well, there fore, leave to its thin skinned contemporaries of the metropolis the task of replying to their silly inventions. Firat Bioop ov Tue Larerraestace Conriict.— We publish elsewhere some particulars of wa affray at the New York Hotel, on Tuesday night, and which bas created considerable ex- citement among the floating population of the metropolis, especialy the Southern gentlemen Bt present sojourning with us. It appears that some ill feeling exista between the officers of the Central Republican Club (who have their rooms opposite the New York Hotel) and the proprietors of the famous caravansary, who have refused to permit a rope sustaining Lincoln banner to be attached to their property Nevertheless, the flag was raised and duly dedi cated on Tuesday night, under the auspives of the Wide Awakes, who were received with hisses and other marks of disapprobation by the inbabitants of the hotel. Subsequently o charge was made upon the crowd by the Wide Awahes, and 9 small rict ensued, in which several inoffensive persons were beuten with lanterns and torches. When the police ar- rived, they arrested, not the Wide Awakes, who had committed the overt acts, but the geutle- men who had been beaten. One per eon was taken into custody for avow- ing himself to be «& Bell-Everett man. He was locked up all night, and io the morning brought before the iscorruptibie Alderman Brady, who muleted the prisoner in five dollars fine. The whole affair was ® most disgracefu! one, and will tend to bring the Wide Awake organization into disrepute. No matter what might have been the provocation, these irre sponsible persons had no possible righi to com- mence an indiscriminate attack upou the people in front of the hotel. It is for the police, great bumbers of whom are always in the part of Broadway where the alfray occurred, to pre serve the peace. The Empire Club, in ite Worst days, never was guilty of each ea act of rowdyism as that which the Wide Awakee com- mitted im front of the New York Hotel on Tues day evening. If thie organization really ta tends to carry out, by force of arms, Senator Beward’s idea of the “irrepressible contlict,’ we may as well know it at once. Lneuch cases, to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Thy Puvarow Weep iy DisTakes low Weed fs in awful distress just now. One time be is alarmed for the iniereete of Douglas, lest bis friends have «old bis birthright Ww the “cotton brokers and British importers.” Another time he is solicitous for the interests of Breckinridge. But the hottest stew be hes got into yet ts the fuslon Just cooked by the Cooper Tustitute Com- mitte snd the friends of the other opposition candidates, Bell, Breckinridge snd Douglas, whom he calls the “hucksters of New York” This fusion will be the death of Thurlow. But he is not alone tn his denunciation of the Union electoral ticket. He has ardent sympaibizers, and there appears to be a very curious league formed in favor of Lincoln, comprising Gid. Tucker, Jim Brady, John A. Green, Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley, An extracrdins” y ¢ombination, truly. Union Electoral Ticket. Mr. Jamee T. Trady, the Breckinridge nominee for Governor of New York, rem fuses (o nocept the Union electoral ticket agreed upon the other day by the special committee of thia city charged with this duty. Net only 6o, but after having proposed on Mon- Gay, ia a very oonoiliatory letter to the com- mittce, the basis of a coalition with the Brockiz- ridge democracy, which the committee sub- etantially adopted, Mr. Brady hurried off to Albany, and the next thing that we hear of bim is that on Tuesday evening, to an Albany sudience of five thousand people, he madea violent speech against fusion, donewucing it in every ehape and form. He “denounced Douglas and the squatter ecyereignty doctrine snd the recent fusion ag @ cheat, and called upoa every national demo- crat to support slone the regular ticket” He said “the Breckinridge and Lane party aloxe represented true democratic priaciples, and that they would ultimately prevail, when Dougiasism, Know Nothiogism sod fusioniem were laid in the dust.” This wa: on Tuesday; and yet, only the day before, Mr. Brady had written a cool and deliberate letter to the Cooper Inatitute Committee, proposing, eubstantially, the very fusion which he de- nounces with “Douglasism, Know Nothingiem aud fusionism,” and of which he ssid, “L hope you will accept my aseuraace that, if the terms L have offered meet the approval of your com- mittee aud the express cousent of the Douglas State Committee, many gentlemen, of more in- flucace than I, will unite with me in an earnest, and, I bsve no doubt, a successful, effort to ob- tain at once from our State Committee an ap- proval of what I recommend.” And what did Mr. Brady recommend: First, that eeven of the Douglas men be taken off the Douglas and Bell electoral ticket; second, that these vacancies be supplied by seven men from the Breckinridge ticket; third, that the Douglas organization have the Governor and State Pri- eon Inspector, and that the Breckiaridge State Committee neme the Lieutenant Governor and Canal Commissioner. Now for the committee. They did displace seven Douglas electors from the union ticket adopted at Syraquse, aud they did put in their places seven Breckinridge men, including four of the names from the Breckin- ridge ticket suggested by Mr. Brady, and among these four was one of the electors at large. The committee did not touch the proposed com- promise on the State ticket, simply because they had no authority todo so. We have ne doubt, however, that had Mr. Brady acted in generous good faith in the matter of the elec- toral ticket compromise, the ways and means would bave been found for “a happy accord” on the State ticket. Therefore it is that we are puzzled exceed- ingly to reconcile this amicable fusion propcsi- tion made by Mr. Brady in New York on Mon- day with this violent indignation, anti-fusion speech made by Mr. Brady in Albany on Tues- day. Was this proposition a mere pretext, in- tended as an exouse for a predetermized refusal to fase? Did Mr. Brady know beforehand that the committee could not meet bis demands to the very letter! We cannot say; but it is possi- bie that be shaped bis letter to meet the con- templated contingency of bis speech. Mysterious and inscrutable to plain dealing men are the tortuous courses of the profession: al politician. In this case, however, there is something in bir. Brody's letter and something in bis speech indicating that between the chances of a Union victory in this election, and the chances of a future reconstruction of the democratic party on democratic priaciples, he prefere the iatier alternative. In order to drive the Douglas democracy tc the wall, he will allow this election to go by default. With @ republican administration installed In power at Weshington, Mr. Brady, perhaps, imagines that the fragments of the broker democracy will come together again, that the Southera wing of the party will dictate the law of its reconstruction, and that, in this event, the Northern Breckinri’ge men will be admitted to front seats, while the Douglas men, te be ad- mitted at all, must be satisfied to abandon the “Little Giant” to the winds and waves. This fe the difficulty between the Breckin ridge and Doug!as politicians. They consider this battle as only a chapter ofaccidents, and as s battle not for 1650, but for 1564. But they are under o serions delusion. This is act a fight between parties and factions from whicb the democratic party is to emerge again as from their defeats of 1840 and 1848. It te the [ beginning of ® great revolution, under which with Lincoln's election, all the parties and fac- tions of the day may be engnifed as in a eweeplug storm at sea. The democratic party is already destroyed. Its the vainest of all delusions to count upon ite resuscitation after Lincoln's election. A great Union party must take its place, utterly ignoring the dead poli- tickans and party fsenes of the present day, or the monster dieunion as a living reality will *talk upon the stage. This volunteer New York Union movement meets the necessities of the crisis. Mr. Brady cannot comprebend it, or he bas his little per- sonal diffculdce to settle, of which be ought to be ashamed, in view of bis duties to the coun- try. For good or evil, this Presideatial con test means o migbty revolution, and it can cnly be made a revolution of wbolesome re. action by the union of all men of all parties opposed to the prostration or expulsion of the South under the pressure of a Northern abolition administration. Our Unton Commit- | tee are right. Let Mr. Brady take bis course.

The Sabbath Gommittee of New York de- clare that the tyrannical and puritanical ob- servance of the Sabbath, upon which they ia- sist, “la of paramount importance to the purity and perpetuity of our free institutions,” end that it is “vital to the prosperity of true roli- gion.” Now, let us examine this aweeping aa- eertion by the teat of experience and by s refe- rence to facta. In what other in this country has the Sabbath been made ao rigid ty law aa in Boston, the bot bed of fanatieiam to the rest of the Union? But what are the statistice of morals in that pious city? By the reports of the authorities for the your 1858, we are told that in Massachusetts “ criminals have trebled in fourteen years,” that “ the criminale are not made from a foreign but from the home made article,” and that unless there is a pra tical reformation “ before half a century is ovee we shall be ruled by the criminals themselves.” The report further says “that iv the past four- teen yeers efforta for reforming criminsle ead punishing crime have been more active than af any previous time, and yet crime haa trebled.” In the same year what do facts and figures show about Now York, ao filled with churcher and with an army of olergy! The arresta were 61,455 for criminal offences, 49 cases of whick were for murder; and this is ia a city abcunding with Sabbath echoola, assccistions for the observance of the Sabbath, restrained by Sab- bath laws and Hquor laws, and a police ap pointed through the puritanical influence upes the republican .Legisiature. And as for our free institutions, which the Sabbath Committee sey ere in danger from Sabbsth breaking, the only peril that impends over them at present ia the anti-slavery fanaticism of the puritanical republican party. The same rule holds good of puritanical Scotiand. In the city of Ginegow there is more of drunkenness and other vice tham in any other city in the world; and there, it ia bossted in one of the Sabbath Com- mittee documents of New York, that in ne other place in Christendom isthe Sabbath se well observed—“it is like the older time.” England has comparatively emancipated her- self from this spiritual! thraldcm, and there crime Is proportionately diminished. In France and Germany, where the Sabbath is enjoyed ia a rational way as a day cf recreation, therels fer fess drunkenness and far less crime and vice then in England or the United States. At the time that the Sabbath was most rigidly observed in Scotland and England, then dla hypocrisy aad every vice most abound. Ie 1650, the Scotch Puritans are described by the histovians as indulging in “much felsehood en€ cheating,” and ‘there was daily hanging, ecourging boring of tongues; and aa for adultery, fornication, incest, bigamy, and other uncleaa- nes and filthiness, it did never aboucd more than at this time.” Those whe desire far- ther information of this period may consnlt Carlyle’s “Life of Cromwell.” Hume, the historian, says of England at that time, that ‘the gloomy enthusiasm which pre- vailed among’ the Parlismentary (Puritaa) party is surely the most curious spectacle p: sented by any history, and the most instructive, as well aa entertaining, to a philosophical’ mind Though the English nation be naturally candid and sincere, hypocrisy prevailed among, them beyond snyexample ic ancleat or moderz times.” The same bypocrisy existe in this country! now; it is the remnant of Pcritanism im; by the Brownists cf Massachusetts, and it bearing the same deadly fruit that it didin of old, The Upas tree must be rooted up fore it overspreads the land and poisons who ceme under its shadow. Let a publ meeting be held at once te overthrow this cursed blighting system which is now ident with the republican party—the only party the United States who give it any countenac: Tas Concrassionat Nom-vations.—The nations for Congress in the metropolitan wicta are now partially made, and they upon them the etamp of that discordant which animates the Presidential canvass in democratic party. There are six districts in the city, all of which are now sented by men not cne of whom anti-slavery, abolition sentiment, though ate attached te diferent wings of the cacy. But, from present indications, it vesy likely that, after the coming election, shall have diferent story to tell. In every district the democrats have two cr Cifferent tickets. They haves Douglas ticket, Breckioridge ticket, and very often an tional ticket of some other complexion. seems that the fatality of the quarrelsome ease, now ec prevalent amoag politicians, falien upon them. Under gach circ it fe nataral to conclude that the repud! have ofeir chance to carry many of the tricts of this once democratic metropolis.
