CANTERBURY Musto HALL, 663 Hrowdwa y.—Soxas ww York, Saturday, Sept. 40, The News. The British war steamer Gladiator has arrived below New Orleans with the remnant of Walker's filibuster force, Walker was executed on the 12th inst. It is stated that ten shots were fired at him, | amid the cheers of the native spectators. His re- mains were subsequently buried by foreigners, the natives refusing to take any part in the ceremony. Colonel Radler was sentenced to four years im- prisonment. The screw steamship Edinburg, from Liverpool at three P. M. on the 12th and Queenstown on the 13th instant, arrived at this port yesterday afternoon. Her advices are not so late by three days as those received by the Persia. By the brig Avosetta, Captain Tuzo, we have news from Bermuda, St. Martin and other West India islands. Bermuda dates are to the 19th inst. The long continued drought in Barbadoes and An- tigua had at length come to an end, and there was great rejoicing in consequence. Planting of pota- toes, yams, &c., was proceeding vigorously, and the growing crops had revived most promisingly, under the heavy rains which had fallen. In Ja- maica the weather continued dry and oppressive; yet the health of the island was good. The mar- kets at Kingston were dull; American provisions in abundance and of slow sale. The Legislature had been prorogued to the 25th inst. The steamship Star of the West, from Havana 24th inst., arrived at this port last niget. She brings no news of importance. The sugar market continued dull. By a decree of the President of Venezuela, rice, corn, potatoes, salt beef, lard and other neceasa- ries may be introduced free of duty and all impor- tation charges, ordinary and extraordinary, through any of the ports of that republic. The decree will remain in furee until repealed by the same autho- rity. Senator Douglas addressed the people of Indian- apolis yesterday, and Senator Seward spoke at Lawrence, Kansas, the day previous. Brief re- ports of the remarks of both these gentlemen are published in today's paper. We doubt if the people of Lawrence ever before imagined themselves of half the importance to the country that they do ince the speech of Senator Seward. The primary elections of the Bell-Everett party, for the choice of delegates to the various conven- tions to be held to nominate candidates for Con- gress, Legislature, and municipal officers, was held last evening. So far as we are informed they passed off without the slighest disturbance. The Donglas Judicial Convention of Brooklyn met last evening and nominated James Troy for City Judge, and Henry L. Fox for Police Justice. Michael Walsh and Zachariah Voorhies were re- epectively nominated for Justices of the Peace in the First and Second districts. The Protestant Episcopal Convention of the dio- ceas of New York reassembled yesterday morning. A large portion of the session was occupied in acting upon proposed amendments to various canons of the church. Dr. Potter, the Provisional Bishop, delivered his avnual address, embracing a history of the transactions of the church during the year. The Bishop also alluded in very Mattering terms to the visit of the Prince of Wales, and its pro- bable beneficent inflaence upon the welfare of Great | Britain and the United S:ates, Another attempt | was made to bring the Convention to some action ©n the everlasting negro question, but the subject was unanimonsly laid on the table, and the Con vention adjourned sine die. A full report may be found elsewhere in our columns. From our Trenton, N. J., correspondent we learn that at the present term of the United States Cir cult Court, a suit involving the right to $5,000,000 worth of real estate, situated in the heart of New ark, will probably be decided. The Meth Church Society is defendant, but the present suit a test one—is bronght against a merchant named Perry, who hasa building on the disputed property An action for ejectment has been bronght against the defendant by Van Baren Ryerson, of New | York, to test the title to the whole property, and much interest has been created by the magnitade of the claim and the various interests affected by it It was decided in the United States Cirewit Court | at Trenton yesterday that the trial of Jackalow the alleged murderer of the captain of the oyster sloop Spray, would be postponed until the January term, The cotton market was firm yesterday, with sales of About 8,000 bales, « good portion of which was taken by Spinners.

Instead of grasplag the present paramount necessity of a cordial co-operation among ali the elements opposed to the black repudtic perty, North sad South, the indigeant aud epcouding democratic champion of the Old [ minion limits himself to the sectioual blunders and factious intignes which broke up the demcralized democracy at Charleston and Bul- timore, avd to the solema du'ies of the Southera States in the anticipation of Lineoln’s election Ta this conne: . while Mr. Wise was pleased ss overhauling of Mr. Douglas the burden of bis speech, be flatly declared that he would vegard Lincoln's election “as an open | declaration of war against the Southern States, and annouuled his owa unwilliagaess to sub- | mit to black republicnu rule.” But secession is not the remedy he proposes. | “Rather than resort to secession, he would ore fer to see Southern men armed, under State | suthority, to fight for the maintenance and se- curity of their rights—-not outside, but in the Uniou.” But in all this the su sof Lincola conceded; and so, for ali practical purposes, it would have been as well had this useless speech been postponed to some early day after the November election. In fact, Douglas is to Wise the Marplot of this campaign, with whoin no peace is to be made, and from whom nothing but defeat is expected. It is apparent from this speech tuat tue family quarrels of the de mocrecy have created an opening for tue suc- cess of the Bell-Everett ticket in Virginia, and | tbat the first object of Mr. Wise is not the defeat of Liocolp, but the euppression of the Douglos “Let us, at all events, save our own State from this Southern opposition party” appears to be the first and the important consideration for which Mr. Wise has taken the etump. At the same time, it appears, Hon. Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, has mounted the stump in defence of Lincoln’s election, and against all alliances calculated to defeat it. Davis meets the exact issue, and Wise should have taken the opposite course ia recommend ing the union or co-operation of all the par- ties, factions and cliques opposed to Lincoln in order to secure his defeat. But the course of our stumping Breckisridge, Douglas and Bell- Everett politicians, in every quarter of the country, bas been marked by the sama follies and stupiditics. Thus, from the violent abuse poured out upon the head of Douglas and his followers by the Breckinridge leaders and organs, and from the malignant denunciations of Breckiaridge by the stumpers and organs of Douglas, and from the contemptuous slurs and sneers cast upon the Bell-Everett ticket and party by both wings of the democracy, and from the hot retaliations of the Bell men, we have the extraordinary spectacle presented of all these factions devour- ing each other, while their common enemy is marching by in full proceesion, as on a holiday excursion, to the White House. To be sure, these three parties or factions opposed to Lincoln in Pennsylvania, and ia New Jersey and in New York, are more or less engaged as in a common cause against the re- publican perty; but all their efforts are weak- ened by the factious and purblind orators and organs of the several factions concerned. These disorganizing leaders are making their con- temptible personal jealousies, animosities and revenges the main isanes of the canvass, as if the destinies of this great country were subor- dinate to the personal demands or grievances of Tom, Dick and Harry. Now, had Wm. H. Seward thought fit to adopt the course of our disappointed demo- cratic politicians, could he.not have raised a row in the republican camp which would have utterly ruined the prospects of Lincoln? But Seward, like a sensible man, makes the most of @ bad bargain, and, although on the wrong side, he is about the only stump speaker of the cam- paign who has comprehended its issues and their far-reaching consequences. Treacherous ly cut off as the legitimate standard bearer of his party, he gracefully submits and works faith- fully in the ranke, and herein he seta the exam- ple which alone can give the victory to his ad- versaries, the example of everything for the cause, utterly sinking all personal grievances and disappointments in behalf of the cause with which he is identified. We commend thie example of Senator Seward to Mesars. Douglas, Breckinridge, Wise, Hunter, Dickinson and all the wrangling leaders, orators and organs of the parties opposed to Lincoln. His defeat is the first necessity, the first duty, and should be the first object among them all. On the other band, in sach mere fac- tious and pérsonal harangues as this last one of vernor Wise, the leading stump orator, he may consider Lincoln's election a e of disunion, is doing more ta elest then Mr. Seward bimself. We have had o mischievous folly, and if the ered would defeat Lincoln they See their wrangling cliques, leaders, orgons and orators, or give up the battle. Tue Partizan Jovnxats or New Exotaxn.— Some of that of journals ia New England known as party hacks, which belong soul and body to politicians, and are supported either by the fuods which politicions supply from their own resources or procure for them in the shape of government patronage, are beginning to feel wbomed of their conduct and position. The exposure we recently gave of their course has stirred them up to the neorssity of trying to de fend themeelves, or rather of raising a dust about the Hietaun, in order to divert attention away from themselves. The Hartford Times comes to the rescue in a long leader, in which the Henaty is named eleven times. Instead of answering the charges we preferred sgninst it and the Boston Post, and other journals of that ilk, it asserts that the Tieratn advocates the claims of all the Presidential candidatee.

But the partisan jorenals are ding nothing for the accomplish ment of this devoutly wished for consuama tien. These wretched sheets have dove more than al] other causes put togetber to demoralize the democratic party aud reduce it to chaos; and now they are doing their utmost to prevent a cordial and complete union of the conservative elements against the republican candidate. They canuot see the leagth of their noses be- fore them, or begin to comprehéna the true nature of the issue before the country, but they chatter and jabber like angry apes or parrots, conveying nothing intelligible to the reader, and even failing to understand the jargon them- selves, They have no independence of thought or action, but are mere machines, which will go for a while if any body winds them up. The French Gold Fields ta Africa—Their Immense Products and Remarkable Effects. One of the most perplexing problems of the age to political economists has been the fiaan- cial secrets of the French empire, and its abun- dant coinage of gold. For a series of years the imperial treasury has borne the most extraor- dinary demands upon it; vast enterprizes have been undertaken and carried out; commerce and industry bave received a constant stimulus; the fizancial panic of 1857 was driven from France by the bountiful resources of the bank, and the French mint, which twenty years ago isened annually only about two‘and a half mil- lions of dollar in gold coinage, now pours out from one hundred to one bundred and ten mil- lions of coin every year, being more than equal to that coined by the United States and England together. “Whence comes this immense supply of gold? The French official reports classify it as “Re coinage, &c.;” but what is this etcetera’ There are three great known gold fields. Russia works those of the Ural mountains, and keeps the production a secret; but whatever its amount may be, ite presence is not felt in the great centres of trade. The yield of California and Australia is knowa to amount to about one hundred millions of dollars yearly; but a large portion of this is coined and retained by this country and England How is it, then, that France can coin annually ea amount of gold equal to the joint production of California and Australia, and yet the supply of eagles and sovereigns continue to accumulate? The secret is ex- plained in @ communication published in another column, which has been furnished to us by an eminent geologist who has recently returned from A fourth gold field, more prolific than those of either shore of the Pacific, and worked with greater secresy than the Russian mines in Asia, bas been opened by France and steadily developed for the last six years. Acting upon the suggestions of an American citizen, Louis Napoleon sent a secret expedition of thirteen vessels and twenty-five hundred men to the before neglected colony of Senegal. From that time the progress of French rule and French enterprise in Africa has been rapid and remarkable. Algeria bas crossed the desert ot Sehara and linked ite posta with those of the advancing colony of Senegambia. The British flag has been bought off from a large portion of the western coast of Africa, and the French tri- color has been planted in Abyssinia. The new colonial region has been separated from the colonial system of the empire, and placed under the immediate presidency of the Emperor. Numerous institutions and offices have been created, which have no ostensible results, aad yet their officers attain frequent rewards and promotion. Why is this? It is because Louis Napoleon is secretly working hundreds of thou- sands of African slaves in the new gold fields of Africa, deriving therefrom not only the means for exteuding bis empire on that conti- nent, be nleo the resources to supply the im- menee workings of the French mint, and to give life and enerzy to his vast political schemes. In these revelations we may flad also the secret of his ‘steel-clad ships, his efforts to change the balance of power ia the Mediterranean, his creation of a navy to surpass in cumbers and efliciency that of | England, bis sedulous cultivation of an African policy that has been constantly a puzzle to Burope, and the care with which Algeria is fos- | tered. A war with England would cut off his | Atlantic route to the Senegal gold region, and | hence the path he is opening with Artesian wells | across the deserts of Sahara. A few years’ | continuance of the immense supply of gold he bas been drawing from his new Afcican posses- | | sions will enable him to realize even the dreams of his uncle for the reconstruction of Europe, | and make his reign the Augustan era of the French empire. In the table of the coinage of the mints of | the United States, England and France, which | is given in the communication published in another column, will be found the statistics of a gold supply to the channels of circulation that will account for many of the anomalies witnossed in finance and trade durin the past few years.

We have Jaid the results before our readers from time to time. We have given descrip tions of the homes, habits and opinions of our day by which their preparations were to be completed, so that the sailing of the force was probably not postponed beyond the end of the movth. In an address which had been presented to Lord Elgin from the merchants of Shanghae, it will be eeen that the latter. disregardfal of the rieks that it may cause to their own interests, recommend that a vigorous and decisive policy shall be pursued by the allies. This is sound advice, and is borne out by the results of the course adopted by Lord Gough in 1842, when, sailing up the Yang-tse-kiang, he occupied the grand canal, cut off the supplies of grain from leading statesmen, including the candidates for | pexin, and marched upon Napkin, to save which, the Presidency and Vice Presidency. Our cor- respondents have visited the residences of Mr Lincoln, Mr. Seward, Mr. Breckinridge, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Douglas and Mr. Bell, aad have given our readers photographs of the home lite and restore communication with the south, the Imperial Court came to terms. This plan of operations, however, cannot be repeated, forthe all sufficient reasons that Nankin is in posses- sion of the rebels, and that the traffic between and political careers of the men in whom the Yang-tee and Pekin is now traasferred to public take most interest.

Viewing calmly the condition of the public mind atthe present hour, as indicated by all the information we gather from every quarter of the country, and from the Soath in partiou- lar, it is time that the people of the North shonld give serious consideration to the mo Meulous ounies ia Whisk we are cagaged, I any of their plundering schemes; we make no pretensions in that line, nor are we in the habit of playing the hypocrite, by holding them up as pure men, whilst they are invading the rights or plandering the inhabitants of any of the interior cities; this is the special work of the rural editors, who seem to have the na- tural talent for defending their representatives and calling them honest, whilst they are reach- ing out their hands and stealing those franchises that are worth millions of dollars to our city, | and transferring them to a set of speculators, | Did the rural members, whilst occupying a | nd to the business eval ia We Legllatare, then, ut the | the rural mvmied® have Beed the Igaders in every teid upon the rights of our citizens thal has takeo plave at Albany. Any person who Tead the reports of the proceedings of the last Legielature munt have noticed the fact that members from the interior were the month- pieces of the lobby upoo every peculatiog bill that was before them, The projects which neo perton from this city could be found (o defend were boldly avd without the least shame ad- vocated by those gentlemen representing in- terior towns; when the most intelligent membere from this city rose in their place and asked that come rafeguard ehould be thrown around the rairoad grants, these very philosophere whose renomination the preas of this city has denounced were the persons that sneered st them and led on the forces that defeated the amendments, to please the lobby, whose tools they were during the whole cession, If the rural editors do not wish us to de- nounce their nomiuations for the Legislature, they muet not hold up the leaders in the pirati- cal crusades of the last infamous Legislature as bonest and worthy legislators. Ail we ask is that they eball not send men to Albany te legislate for the mercenary gang that always infest the legislative halls, and who, whilst oe- cupying their seat, beed no demands but those coming from tbe lobby. Let them send repre- sentatives who cannot be’ influenced by the profeesiona) legitlative brokers, and they will bear no complaints from this direction. But as long as they elect men to invade our rights and to enact laws against almost the unanimous wish of the people, then they must expect te hear the metropolitan press speaking in thua- der tones. As long as they assume to legislate for our city they are morally responsible to us. It is therefore not only jost, bat proper, that we should criticise the action of every Assembly district. Tux Hon. Tuapvevs Stevens at THE Coorer IystrtvTe.—The speech of the Hon Thaddeus Stevens at the Cooper Institute the other even- ing was very much out of season and out of place. He must have forgotten that he was ia the city of New York, aud supposed that he was speaking to a gatbering of coal miners and iron manufacturers among the mountains of Pepnsylvania. A different sort of argument was the thing for this side of the river. Mr. Stevens also appeared to labor under the idea that he was talking to the old whig party of twenty years ago, and while he was about it the wonder is that he did not give General Jackson a raking down for his removal of the deposits. The republicans of this city, in choosing their campaign speakers from abroad, should admonish them in advance to leave their old local speeches behind them, and do up some- thing for New York; and young men of new ideas would be better than these old chaps, whe never learn anything and never forget any- thing.
