TRIPLE SHEET. New York, Thursday, October 4, 1860, | The News. | The steamship Connaucht, which left Galway on | the 25th ult., arrived at St. Johns, N. F., at three o'clock yesterday morning. She brings two days later European news. It is stated that the Sardinian ships-of-war had bombarded Ancona, the place occupied by General Lamoriciere, the Commaunder-ia-Chief of the Papal | forces, for nine hours, to which the fortress replied | with vigor. Hostilities, at last accounts, had been suspended, probably in order to arrange the terms | of the capitulation of the garrison. The King of Sardinia had decided to go to Naples. | At London consols were quoted at 93) a 934. | The Liverpool cot‘on market was firm, while bread- | stuffs exbibited an upward tendency. The Arago and Saxonia arrived at this port yes- | terday, with details of European advices to the 19th | ult. An interesting compilation of the intelligence is given in to-day’s paper. The steamship Karnak, Captain Brownless, ar- rived from Havana, Nassau, N. P., and Kingston, Jamaica, last evening, with dates from the latter to the 15th ult. The inquest on Captain Benton, of | the bark Alvarado, haduot been concluded. There is no news. The steamship Cahawba, Captain Smith, from Havana 2sth ult., arrived here yesterday morning. Bhe brings no local news of any interest. The execution of Walker is at length a fixed fact, beyond the shadow of a doubt. The account we publish this morning from the Havana and New Orleans papers will be found deeply interesting from the minuteness with which everything con- nected with the sad and tragic end of that un- fortunate man is detailed. His last speech was characteriatic—brief, manly and honest; nothing could be more edifying than the Christian and heroic manner in which he met that death which his restless nature seemed to court, and his wild, eventful career was sure to find. All through the exciting scene of his imprisonment and execution, the people of Honduras behaved with a respect | and humanity which do them infinite credit; and we bear of no insult to Walker, living or dead, or | any of his followers, from any source which can be considered reliable. We have received letters from Monterey, with dates to September 8. Affairs in that quarter of | the Mexican republic were tranquil, no further attempt having been made to distur) the govern- | ment of Vidaurri, who had sent his troops to San | I under Colonel Queiroga, in consequence of | which movement General Degollado has made | overtu Fes to him for a settlement of their personal | differences. Preparations were making at Monte- | rey for the annual fair, which, from the disturbed | state of the country, was expected to be very dif ferent from its predecessors. It was reported there that Ogazon (liberal) had been badly whipped at Goadalajara by General Woll. The report need official confirmation. The United States steam frigate Niagara, with | the Japanese Ambassadors on board, arrived at Loando, Africa, the first week in August. Alb | well The ship Erie, in charge of Lieutenant J.

The Erie wa captured on the Sth of Angust by the United States steamer Mohican, with 897 slaves on boa Of the negroes died on the passage from the place of capture to Monrovia, where the survivors were landed. Three prisoners, supposed to be the cap tain acd first and third mates of the Erie, were br me in the vessel.

After considerable palaver it was agreed | to substitute Greene C. Bronson for elector at large in place of Mr. Walworth, and to appoint six dis- trict electors in place of the same number already on the Douglas electoral ticket. Wm. C, Crane was also substituted for Wm. F. Alien, as candidate for Lievtenant Governor, The effect of this fusion movement remains to be developed. A motion was made in the Supreme Court yester- dey by Mr. F, Byrne to appoint Mr. Benjamin F. Camp, a wealthy and well known citizen, to be receiver of the Artisans’ Bank. The application Was opposed by counsel representing some of the shareholders, on the ground that Mr. Camp was & director at the time of the suspension of the bank. ‘The Judge was disposed, from the well known and unexceptionable character of Mr. Camp, to ap- point him, but he feared that the objection was well grounded.

The maiket for beef cattle was without material change, though the receipts were very heavy, and the average price a trifle lower. The range, how- ever, was much the seme as last week. Milch cows were steady, Veals were plenty, but in fair it previous rates. Sheep-and lambs were ndant supply, and about 25¢. a S7c. per lower. Swine were also very plenty but ac- tive, and $e. per pound higher. The totat receipts were 4,715 beef cattle, 168 cows, 757 veals, 16,646 sheep and lambs, and 7,739 swine. ‘The cotton market yesterday was rather more active, with ealee of wbout 8,000 baler, closing steady on the basin Included in the tales were 1,200 bales new cotton, in transit, on private terms. Middling Gulf grades were said to be ecarce and wanted, The flour market was less buoyant wad active, and the prices of common and medium grades of State and Weetera were rather easier, Southern flour was in steady request for domestic ue and for export. Modiam and extra grades wore steady, while mixed aad com- mon brands were easier, Wheat was lees active, but sendy for red and winter Westera, while other grades were rather heavy at unchanged prices. Corn was firmer, with moderate sales. Sound Western mixed afloat sold at 69¢. @ 70c., aud from store at 70c., and round yellow at 75c. a 76c. Pork was less ac- tive and prices favored purchasers; new meas sold at $19 124; 8 $19 20, and new prime at $14 40.0 $14 62%;. Sugars were steady and in good request, with sales of 800 hhda. aad 460 boxes at rates given in another plsce. Cof- fee was Orm, with moderate transactions. Freights were rather easier for Liverpool. Among the engagements to that port were some 60,600 a 60000 bushels wheat, in ship's bags, at 123¢d., with one “bin” reported at 12d.; 2,000 bbls. flour at 3s Sd.,and cheese at 408. And to Londoa 1,000 boxes cheese at 60s. A voerel for Glasgow, taken up to load with 20,000 bushels wheat, was report. ed on privateterms. Rates to Havre were unchauged. Perversion of Factse—The Growth of the North and South Com- pared, In his popularity-seeking campaign in the Northwest, Senator Seward seems to have set a very low estimate on the intelligence of the people of that region of the country, or else he has made up his mind to a desperate effort in behalf of the abolitionized black republi- can party, citing facts in any way that suits his purpose, regardless whether truth will or will not sustain his statements. We are sometimes inclined to put the first in- terpretation on his course—as, for instance, when he tells the people of St. Paul that he at one time thought the halls of the Montezumas were deetined to be the central seat of power of Anglicized races on this continent, but that lately he bed changed his opinion, and now believed that the bead waters of the Mississippi, some- where about where St. Paul is located, were to be that great centre. And then again we adopt the second interpretation, when some bold statement io utter perversion of fact issues from his lips. We cannot ascribe his misstatements to ignorance, for a man Of his at- tainments should not be ignorant regarding his own country; we are loth to ascribe them to a wilful perversion of the truth, for one in his position should not be so unguarded; we can therefore only believe that they are the result of an unwise partisan zeal, which blinds him to facts that militate ogainst his theory. On seve- reques _ tal occasions we have shown the fallacy of his assertions—as for iustance yesterday, in regard to the employment of slave labor in manufac- turing processes; and now we propose to take him vp on the general issue, in which he is com- pletely and thoroughly in the wrong. The genera! aim of all his argument and as | sertion is that society in the South, as compared with thet in the North, has been a failure, and is now rot only a non-progressive, but a retro- | grade stote of existence. Assuming this pre- mise, be insista tbat slavery is the canse of the failure of this social experiment, and that therefore it must be rooted out. With out solv’ Into tiresome details of production, trade «1 material progress, we need only to present « great facts of the growth of popula- tion to + whether the social institutions of either section are worthy of the excessive pra! » or condemnation which he allots to them. Society is intimately affected by the welfare or suffering of the masses that compose it, and its numbers will increase or diminish as its institu tions ore well or ill adapted to the moral and pbysicab waats of ite population. Onr present national organization dates from the year 1789. and our first census was taken in 1/90. In that year the total population was, in rownd numbers, four millions, distributed as ow bas augmented through three separate canses:— 1. Notural merease; 2. Immigration; 5. Impor- tation of Africans. Of these the first only de- pends upon the law of social welfare, the other two being influenced by extraneous causes, Therefore we must separate the results of im- migration and importation from the present aggregates before we evek the influence of the social state upon the growth of population. The increase from these two causes, between 1790 and 1860, are given in the following table aa nearly as we can approximate the figures. It wil be remembered that the importation of African slaves contioued only eighteen years, ceasing in 1805:— Temamigration .. cc cee cece 6,800 060 inportalon m Africans, . - 70,000 Total 6 300.000 270,000 Our present population may be estimated at thirty millions, although in the ultimate re- foros some excess over that may appear: but, if 20, tt wil! appertain fo beth sections in pro- ylation is: approximate!y distributed between the Northern and Southern Btates as folidwe:— South. 6 000,000 4,000,000 If we deduct from the Northern populativa the accession it has received through immigra- | tion, we find that the natural increase during the past seventy years is sixfold. The same | ratio holds good in the increase of the white | population in the South, and the slave popula- | tion, having augmented from 660,000 to 4,000,- | 000, exhibits precisely the same ratio. What, | thea, becomes of Senator Seward's reiterated | assertion of the superior increase of the North, | of the decay of the South, and of the probabili- | ty that we shall witness an early extinction of | the present social constitution cf the Southern ; States, through the natural processes of decay | on one side and prosperity on the other? They | fall to the ground, because they are not sustain- | ed by fact. There ts still another view to be taken of | these results which Senator Seward and his co- | adjutors leave always out of view. Immigra- tion has been almost exclusively of laboring population, which has added ita efforts to the productive capacity of the country, We have seen that this has been con: tributed almost exclusively to the North, while the South has been almost entirely cut off from obtaining by importation an assimilating in- crease to its labor. Had the importation of African slaves been left open, as has that of the supply of labor from Eu- rope to the Northern States, there can be no doubt that the increase of produc- tion, exchange and consumption in the South, as well as of population, would have equalled, if it did not surpass, that of the North. But the figures as they exist to-day, notwithstanding an adverse legislation for sixty years, prove that the social law of the South is as beneficeat | in its operation as is that of the North. Social evils, the separation of families, cases of indi- vidual wrong and oppression, crime, destitu- tion and moral perversion, are as abundant in Northern as they are in Southern society, and can be as easily found if ought. The exagge- rations and misstatements of Mr. Seward and his followers belong to that system of argument which leads them to utter one thing in Con- gress and conventions anda totally different one in their minor gatherings of the people. North. + 18,060,000 Tue Frevxou Onists ty Itauy—Drrerences Between Garman: any tux Tern Capryet.— The demands reported totmave been addressed to Victor Emanuel by Garibaldi open up a new phase of the Italian question. The object of Sardinian intervention in the Roman States was to head off the revolution just at the point which suited the policy of the Cabinets of the Tuileries and Turin, but the Dictator will not suffer himself to be arrested in his course by the convenience or diplomatic obligations of either. Rome for the Romans, Venice for the Venetians, and Italy one and indivisible, are pis watchwords. In demanding the dismissal of Cavour and Fagini, he seeks to remove from his path the chief obstacles that stand between bim and those objecte. They would have foiled him in his efforts to emancipate Sicily, and when he had succeeded in freeing it they would have prevented him from carrying out the full purpose of his expedition by the expulsion of the Bourbons from Naples. Again they seek to defeat the consummation of the great work that he has in band by interposing between him and | the liberation of Rome and Venice. He breaks with them abruptly, as he broke with them | twice before, when he found that their aims did | not lie in the same direction as his. It may be impolitic that he should do so in the present | instance, but it is, at least, consistent, and is, in a measure, justified by the success that has hitherto attended the independent assertion of his own will. Thus we find brought Into direct conflict the views of the more moderate minded of the Ita- lian revolutionists who are content with the re- sults already achieved, and of those who, con- curring with Garibaldi and the ultras, think that Italian unity is but a sham and a delusion unless Rome ard Venice are brought within the circle of its operation. Victor Emanuel, there is reason to believe, inclines towards the latter opinion, but is controlled by Cavour and Farini, who believe that the limits prescribed by France to the revolution are the safest for the interests of Sardinia. They regard with apprehension the prospect of another struggle with Austria, under the diferent circumstances in which a teparation from French policy would place her. Garibaldi has no fears of this sort; for, in his eyes, Italy united is equal to any amount of force that Austria, with the German confede- ration at her back, can bring into the field. This isa critical state of things, and it is rendered doubly hazardous to the peace of Europe by the influence which it is likely to exercise In Germany and Hungary. The eyes of the people of both countries are attentively fixed upon the movements of Garibaldi, and an attack upon Venice will in all probability be followed by insurrectionary risings amongst them as in S48. As to Rome, the flight of the Pope, and the abandonment of the city by the French, will spare any further trouble in that quarter. It matters but little what tarn mat- ters may take, the temporal jurisdiction of the Pontiff is virtually at an end. The whole ques- tion of the success of Garibaldi’s contemplated attack upon Venice hinges on the part that ‘Louis Napoleon will take in the event of the | other continental Powers hastening to the as- sistance of Ausizia. It is our belief that the stability of his own throne is so bound up with the independence of Italy, that he dare not, if he would, recede from the policy that he has hitherto pursued in connection with her. | Srwarp Coxresses His Fratensity wit Joux Browy.—In his speech at Chicago, two Seward repeats Brown's language to him shows his appreciation of the fanatic.

Seward, in giving to the world the fact that John Brown addressed bim as “Brother Seward,” accepts the brotherhood and shows that he glories in it. The Wide Awake Demonstration Last Night. The metropolis went through the mixed pangs and pleasures of another sensation last evening, in the procession of the black republican clubs known as Wide Awakes. The parade was not so great in numbers as its projectors anticipated it would be, but it was still very large, and, unless closely criticised, somewhat imposing. There could be only one opinion as to the beauty of the spectacle, as the line of light—ex- tending from Astor place, down Broadway, around the Park and up the Bowery to Fourth avenue and Union square—flashed upon the crowds which filled the great thoroughfares and made up & coup d’ail, the brilliancy of which could not be surpassed, if equalled, anywhere else in the world. At the same time it must be remembered that the importance of this parade of the Wide Awakes, as a political demonstration, is liable to be very much overrated. In the first place, the city clubs are composed in part (and in many instances a very large part) of non-voters, This is the case with all politi- cal aseociations organized for the purposes of parade and outside show. Many a man who never voted till 1848 can remember carrying a banner in 1840, or shouting for Polk and Dallas or Harry Clay in 1844. There is a pe- culiar fascination about the semi-military or- ganization, drill and uniform of the Wide Awakes, which attracts to their ranks thousands of youpg men between the oges of eighteen and twenty-one, and although it may be alleged that only voters are received as members of the clubs, such a statement will deceive no one for a moment, because, admitting that the officers of the clubs were eincere in enforcing the rule. they can have no means of necertaining whether candidate has really a right to vote or not. Then, again, in reference to the demonstration of last night, it must be recollected that the procession was made up in a good degree from the rural districts—delegations brought here free of expense to themselves, en- tertained at the cost of the New York re- publicans. and treated to the great delight of the Yankee heart—a gratuitous spree. In order that the morale of last night’s demonstration may be thoroughly appreciated, we have caused the elements of which the procession was constituted to be carefully scrutinized, and the result of the observations of our reporters is summed up in the subjoined table:— Leaving non-yote: . 3,701 The sum total exp: tion estimated +. + « $70,250 So far as the metropolis is concerned the Wide Awake game is hardly worth the candle. The republican committee gave us "a good show, and paid roundly for it. They went out into the highways and byways and brought forth the sick, the lame, the halt and the blind, and by means of uniforms, lanterns, torches, music and other devices touk away a good deal of custom from the theatres and the negro min- strels. They gratified their own vanity, pleased the ladies, tickled the children, and gave the street-loungers something to look at and talk about—otherwise the Wide Awake parade amounted to nothing. As for any political effect that may bave been hoped for from this affair the Wide Awakes may as well have been fast asleep. The voters of the city of New York are against Sewardism, in the proportion of at least three to one, and no such nonsense as midnight parades of emall boys and abo- litionists from the rural districts will gain one vote for Lincoln and Hamlin. So the Wide Awakes might as well have saved their time, oil and money. Apvent or THE IxptaN Scmmen.—After seve- ral days of miserable weather, presaging the premature arrival of winter, and suggestive of firesides and stay-at-home evenings, the Indian summer has fairly dawned upon us. For a week or more the weather had been alternately nipping us with frost and cold chills, or suicidal in its damp, dull, drizzling character; but now reminiscences of summer come back again, and people begin to feel that the trees have not yet lost their leafy beauties nor the sun its genial warmth. It is well that the curtain of mist and damp- nees bas been lifted just now, for it would never do for the skies to shroud all our political and festive demonstrations in gloom. This is the season of Wide Awake processions and royal visite. The demonstration of last night would have lost half its picturesqueness had the rain been fulling in torrents, and the grand military display which is to welcome the arrival of the Prince of Wales next week would turn out a sorry affair should Jupiter Pluvius preside upon the occasion. But there is every prospect tha we shall enjoy a long spell of fine weather, which will see us fairly over the fall season, and then let Winter do bis worst. Moxey vor Pexxsyivania.—The Chevalier Webb estimates the gross amount of funds col- lected on all sides for the purposes of the Pennsylvania October election at # million of dollars. We suspect, however, that the Chevalier more than doubles the sum. Ever since that unfortunate subsidy of his of $52,635 57), or thereabouts, from the old United States Bank, Webb, when money has been mentioned, has always valued the pile through a magnifying medium. Hence, asa practical financier, be has always fallen short at | } the day of reckoning. Doubtless some thou- sands of dollars outside that State have been ccllected on both sides for the party cause concerned in this Pennsylvania Octover elec- tion. But the lion's share of it will be apt to stick in the pockets of the disbursing agents, assuming that such fellows as Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, and the hungry clique of the Pennsylvanian, will be charged with the ex- ' penditure of said funds, The evidence before the Covode Committee shows what Forney is, and that the little Forneys of the Pennsylvanian are party blood suckers of the same kidney. Sach chaps should not be trusted by either side. Nor have we any faith in these election- eering tricks cf the money beggars, any way. We look to the sound, independent, unbought, honest conservative r asses of Pennsylvania to | make good the elect of Foster on Tuesday next by @ heavy majority, and if they do this October State election will be as decisive aa it was in 1806, as } the ge | result in Novem- ber. Tus Prosrect wy New Yors.—The Union electoral ticket for this State having been at length definitely arranged, with nineteen Doug- las electors, ten Bell men and six ‘Breckin. ridge democrats, all that now remains to be done by the several parties concerned is & vigorous and united effort to save the State. ‘They can if they will. The united vote of the Americans and democrats of the State in 1856 exceeded, by over forty thousand, the vote polled by the republicans under their popular young leader, Fremont. Nor have the repub- licans, in any subsequent election, come w:thin twenty thowsand votes of their vote ot 1856, The prospect, then, of their defeat in New York, in November, is good and encouraging. Our conservative forces have a popular ma- jority, inclnding the reserved vote, of, perhaps, not less than sixty thousand to start upon; to say nothiug of the numerous Van Bureo barn burners, late of the republican camp, Sut who now find in Mr. Douglas a man of the same party antecedents ss Fremont, and who will consequently support him in preference to “Old Abe.” The grand Union mass meeting which is to come off in thie city next week will give a powerful imptise to the movement through- out the State; and thus, though Pennsylvania should fail to come up to the mark next Tues- day, New York may still turn the tide of the battle, and, in a single decisive blow, establish the peace and harmony of the country. Mr. Seward promises New York to Lincoln by 60,000 majority. We know, from tLe official returns of our elections, that there was a posi- tive majority of our popular vote of some 43,000 cast againet the republicans ix 1856, and that they have fallen jargely short of their vote of that year in every subsequent election. Our estimates, therefore, rest upon the solid basis of facts and figures; and if our conservatives of all parties will only come out to the work, they can turn Mr. Sewurd’s 60,000 majority egainst him, because they have the materials at their command with which to do the work. New Yerk has the power. Let ber exert it, and the Union is safe. Warxer’s Last Srexcu.— Our Truxillo cor- reepondence gives the last speech of Walker previous to his execution, and it is an extra- ordinary one. He disclaimed any intention to injure the people of Honduras, and lays the guilt of his attack upon that republic on the people of Ruatan, whom be accuses of mislead- ing bim. It is evident that Walker looked upon Ruatan merely as a starting point, and Hondu- ras as a transit route for his designs upon Ni- caragua; and his failure in attempting to pass through that republic convinced him that the political mission he believed himself to bear wasended. He iseven reported to have eaid this inso many words to the priest who at- tended him previous to his execution. There is reason to suppose that, before he leit this country, he believed his aims and policy re- garding Nicaragua had the sanction of Louis Napoleon, and that if he could succeed in re- establishing himself in that country he would receive at least moral support from the French Emperor. Whatever foundation there may have been for this idea, it can receive no support now. The death of Walker puts an end to the school of filibueteriem which he de- veloped. The great error of his policy was that it was not animated by a sympathy with, and did not seek to cultivate the attachment of, the people it aimed to rule. Walker failed to comprehend one of the most active and influ- ential ideas of the present changeful age—the idea of sutiefied nationalities—which no go- vernment can ignore with safety to itself.
