TRIPLE SHEET. | New Yorn, turaday, October 13, 1860, [———— ‘The great event in the Prince's visit to our me- tropolis was a complete success. The ball which took place at the Academy of Music was the most | brilliant affair of the kind which has ever been wit- | messed in New York. All the efforts which were made in other parts of the country sink into insig- nificance in comparisom with this the most maguifi- cent testimonial of respect and friendship which he Las yet received. The scene at the Academy was ®orgeous and brilliant in the extreme, ani pre- ented the greatest galaxy of genius, wealth and beauty which has ever been witnessed within the Limits of the Empire City. We have devoted a large portion of our space to a description of the whole affair—the scenes, iacidents, celebrated per- fons present, &c., as well as reports of the move- ments of the Prince during the day. The News. | | Dr. Limeotn’s Adintintiatration and the Next Congress. The demoralized dewooracy cleared away the obstractioua aud opened the channel, in April, May and June last, at Charleston, Washington avd Baltimore, tor the passage of the auti sla- very republican squadron into the citadel of the Union, The Northern popular tide instantly began to set toto this channel; the Vermont and Maine elections indicated a swelling stream of giest power; but a month later the Penneylva- pia, Ohio snd Iodiana elections betray a sweep- ing current of resistless force, borne upon which, and apparently without further effort, the republican party will rise into power. The administrative, government at Wasbing- ton, however, is made up of two co operative | departmente—the executive and legislative. The Republicans, though advanced ioto the possession of the executive department, will be powerless to carry out their party programme, with the legislative, or with either branch of t, opposed to them. That the Senate, during the first Congress. at least, of Lincoln's admiis- ration, will be opposed to the ling meas- ures of public policy embodied in the Chicago Plattorm, we know. At present the Senate tands thirty-eight democrats to twenty-five republicans, two Southern opposition men, and one vacancy, showing an anti republican majority which cannot be overcome, under or- dinary contingencies, until the second Congress of Lincoln's administration. The present House of Representatives is thus divided :— Republicans. ... Democrats. . ‘ Southern opposition Anti-Lecomptonite: Vacancies. . Mr. Pennington, the republican second choice candidate, was elected Speaker by the majority vote of 118, including three anti Lecomptonites, George Briggs, and one Southern opposition man, Henry Winter Davis. After this achieve- ment, too, the republican party in the House found very little aifficulty in carrying ont their projects, big and little, except in the matter of the organization of some five new Territories, 3 ot 23 | where they etuck fast between the Wilmot pro- viso and equatter sovereignty. From all this it would appear that while a conservative opposition majority in the House may be ured by the republicans upon almost every question except the almighty nigger, this is the point at which they will fail. It is of the bigbest moment, therefore, to secure a conser- vative aptirepublican majority in the next House of Representatives, to which Mr. Lincoln, from the White House, will address bis first an- nual message. Thus far, for the next Congress, seventy-eix members of the Houre have been elected, and thus far the republicans have lost four, having secured but forty eight in the next, while they bave fifty-two from the same States in the prerent House. They have also lost seve- ral assistavt anti-Lecomptonites; so that with The steamship De Soto, from New Orleans 6th and Havana Sth inst., arrived at this port last even- ing. The general news by this arrival is devoid of interest. The sugar market was quiet; the stock on band at Havana and Matanzas amounted to 143,000 boxes, against 163,000 at the same time last year. On the morning of the 1st inst. a Spanish tman-of-war steamer discovered a vessel ashore near Sierra Morena, which proved to be the Ame- rican screw steamer City of Norfolk. She had landed, the night previous, eight hundred as likely negroes as were ever brought from the const of Africa. After the cargo and crew had Janded full steam was put on, the valves opened, her feed pipes cut, and the City of Norfolk was beaded seaward and abondoned, and it was the ex pectation of her captain that she would soon founder, but the current, it appears, carried her gehore, which led to the discovery and capture of ne hundred negroes, together with thecrew. The balance of the cargo had been disposed of. The Americen officers and crew were sent to Havana and confined for a few days in the Navy Yard bar- racks, and lly sent by the American Consul to | Key We » the United States steamer Crusader, | which sailed on the eve of the 7th inst, | A special meeting of the Board of Supervisors | was held yesterday for the purpose of taking ap the Tax Levy for confirmation. Mr. Purdy an- nounced that the Committee on Annual Taxes had prepared the report on the Tax Levy, but it was Bigned only by the minority, although the other two members acquiesced in it. He therefore pro- posed that the report be taken up and considered until the other members arrived. Mr. Tweed ob Jected to the report, as no distinctive list of items was appended to the ordinance. The only item he Was really opposed to was that of $50,000 for the Central Park, yet he was satisfied that it would Gitimately pass. Mr. Purdy stated that the com- Mittee were now ready to formally present their report, signed by @ majority. The budget transmitted to the Board by the Comp- troller amounted to $5,923,852 01. The alter- @tions and additions proposed by the com- mittee were:—For Commissioners of Record, add $72,034§26; Almshouse Department, deduct | $41,591; Beekman street extension, strike out | $2,300. These would make an addition to the | Comptroller's budget of $28,143 26." In reference | to the proposed appropriation for the Record Com | fnissioners, Mr. Pardy stated that it was inserted in Pbedience to the mandamus of the Suoreme Court, but it was done with the understandiog that no payments would be made on account of it by the | Comptroller until the legality of the demand was | fully tested in the courts. Mr. Tweed moved, on the report being taken up for action, to ste } the special appropriation of $30,000 for mainte- | Hance and government of the Central Park. The | Motion was lost by a vote of ten to two— Messrs. ‘Tweed and Briggs voting inthe affirmative.

On the other hand, if our conservative forces in New York and New Jersey choose to let the next Congrets go by default, the republicans may make good, in these two States, their losses in others, and thus bring themselves within reach of a convenient majority in the House, even upon issues of great danger to the public eafety. In this city the several democratio fac- tions have commenced their Congressional ope- rations in a very loose and disjointed way, and one very well adapted to encourage the republicans in their hope of se veral gains on this island. Nor can we hold ont any promise of a different result 80 long as the republican candidate bere and there bas the advantage of a division of his oppo- | nents upon two, three, four, five or half a doren candidates. In this business there must bea new shuffle of the cards, or the game is lost. If the Empire State cannot be recovered upon the Presidential issue, she may still turn the scale in the next Congress so decidedly against the republicans as to check them in their “irrepressible conflict” for the first two years, at least, of Lincoln's term of office; or she may throw a power into their hands in the House which will be the beginning of the re- publican programme of universal free labor, peace or war. In this view of the matter the peace, the business interests and general safe- ty of the country now depend much upon the State, but chiefly upon the conservative city of New York. Tue Rexowiwation or Tux Leapers In TH Last Leoistaterk.—The black republican press throughout the State are in ecstacies over the renominations of Messrs. Littlejohn, McQuade and Myers, who were at the head and in the front ranke of nearly all the combinations for the peculating schemes of the last seesion, and were the acknow- ledged leaders of that infamous ture. One of the leading journals of that party in the interior, of the Seward school, comes out | with a glowing endorsement, and says:—“We | are glad to see that those staunch and efficient republicans— D. C. Littlejohn, of Oswego; Cap- tain Austin Myers, of Syracuse, and James McQuade, of Oneida—have been renominated to the Assembly.” This endorsement is exten- were accepted and anani- | sively copied by the rural prees of the Seward- Weed republican faith, and fully coincided in Deitz was by them.

Newcastle at Quebec it was arranged tbat the reception of H. R. H. in the commercial metro- polis of the Union should include a military parade, a ball, and a firemen’s torchlight pro- cession. We all®have done, and some of us have suffered, the military parade on Thurs day. The next step in the programme was the ball, which came off last night at the Academy of Music, and was, as might have been expect- ed from the elaborate character of the preter, naries, a very brilliant féte. Tbe accounts of our reporters will supply outeide public with all the information to be gatbered as'to the ball and its participants, It was @ reunion of the culture, wealth and fashion of the great city, such as must bave surprised some of the distinguished strangers in whose hopor it was gotten up. Since the Dickens ball, given some twenty years ago at the Park thea tre, there has never till now been such a turn- out of what is called the upper ten thousand of our population. This élite legion was necessarily cut down two-thirds for the Prince’s ball, and the exclusiveness of the affair made it still more interesting and tempting. The Ja- panese ball was a vulgar jam, and people who arranged the Irving place affair took a lesson from the blunders of the Aldermen, and rigidly adhered to the limit originally fixed, and based upon calculations as to the capacity of the theatre. is to be regretted that anything should have taken place even to cause a momentary interruption to the general pleasure of the oo- casion; but unfortunately one of those occur- rences which are owing to mismanagement and want of proper caution in some quarter happened in the midst of the enjoym-nt. A portion of the flooring gave way, but happily without eerious consequences to life or limb. Such a thing, however, should not aod could not bave occurred bad proper precaution been taken at the right time. The accounts of this aristocratic-epublican- democratic court ball will attract agreat deal of attention abroad. Comparing them with thoee of the Dickens fé(e,@re can see how New York bas changed and progressed in wealth, taste and refinement in the shor! space of twenty years. As for the Prince ard his suite, they will manage to obtain, even ia the very short time that they remain with w, a pretty fair idea of New York in its bet clothes. Everybody, high and low, seems to »e anxious that our royal guest should leave New York with the pleasantest souvenirs, and we believe that such will be the facts in the cas, © The Firemen’s Grand Torchligat Proces- sion To-Night. The turnout of the New Yort Fire De partment to-night in honor of th Prince of Weles will be the grandest and most impres- sive spectacle of the kind that has ever been witnessed. Close upon five thousand members of the force, including two companies from Brooklyn, will take part in it, and their en- gines, which have been newly furbished up and ornamented for the occasion, will exceed in the splendor and novelty of their decora- tions all previous displays of a similar charac ter. The effect of such a pageant moving by torchlight through streets swarming with hu- man beings, and whose windows and balconies will present a brilliant array of beauty and fashion, cannot but bein the highest degree imposing. No scene that has as yet greeted the eyes of our royal visiter and his suite since their arrival in this country will have pro- duced half the impression upon them that this must leave upon their minds.

The combinations are already develop- the ing themselves, with indications of a free fight and a break down of the administration at the first start. Foremost in this controversy are to be found Seward, Weed, Greeley and Cameron. It is said that Senator Seward refuses to take any position in the Cabinet or to go a3 Minister to England, but prefers a re-election to the United States Senate, where he can hold the bammer over the administration, and form such combinations with democratic Senators as will enable him to administer summary punish ment to every person engaged in the conspiracy against bis momination at Chicago. With this programme agreed upon with Thurlow Weed, the latter is demanding, it is reported, the ap- pointment of Moses H. Grinnell as Secretary of the Treasury—a position that will give to his friends the handling of the money and many of the most important offices. On the other hand, the friends of Greeley are pushing the claims of the Spruce street philosoper for Postmaster General, an office that has its agents in every town, village and city in the Union. Prominent among Greeley’s aids in this work are to be found David Dudley Field and W. Cullen Bryant, of the Post, and one part of the programme adopted to bring about this result is the election of members to the next Legisla ture of their way of thinking, and opposed to Weed, with a view to either defeat the re election of Seward, of force bim to consent to and ask for Greeley’s appointment. They have already gone so far under this-arrangement as to select their candidate for Speaker of the next State Arsewbly in the person of R. M. Blatchford, nominated in the Seventh Assembly district of this city; Weed’s candidate for the same post is Mr. Littlejohn. We thus have an interesting fight in embryo. The Tribune philosoper {s endeavoring to bring to his aid Simon Cameron and Chevalier Forney, of Pennsylvania; but Cameron will have nothing to do with the lat ter, excepting where he can make a tool of him to accompliah his objects; and since it is through the enormous majority of that State that the election of Lincoln is secured, Cameron will claim the honor of placing “Honest Abe” in the White House, and has no idea of playing second fiddle to any of these parties. On the contrary, he is setting himself up as the administration, and will force Weed, Seward, Greeley and the whole batch of them to take just such seats as he may select, or there will be a general row.

It is not in thefact that the Prince of Wales has been received here in a manter eminently becoming to his worth and the private cbarac- ter he has chosen to assume among us that the importance of that popular demonstration lies. The greatest import of the event lies in the fact that the act was voluntary, and the feeling that accompanied it sprang spontaneously from the hearts of the people. With the excep tion of the neceseary orders for the parade of the military, no effort was made or was re quisite on the part of any of the public autho- rities to stimulate the movement of the masses. Everywhere they poured forth of their own accord, and not only New York, but the circumjacent cities and towns contributed their tens of thousands to the gathering of wel- come. The streets, except in the immediate neighborhood of the line of the procession, were abandoned, the stores and.places of busi nees were closed, all the public and private offices were emptied of their wonted occupants, the labors of the day were suspended by all classes, for all thropged to greet the welcome stranger. Yet he was not looked upon asa stranger. The bond ofkindred was felt in every bosom, and its utterances welled forth from orn Ue But while all the rest of the city was left ia comparative solitude, every available spot from which there was a possibility of catching a sight of the face of the Prince was thronged, piled and crowded with people. From the Battery to Madison square—a distance of five miles— there was but one continuous mass of human beings. No class or nétionality formed an ex- ception to the general good feeling. Our adopted citizens of Irish, Scotch, German and other national origin were as numerously re- presented and as hearty and sincere in their testimony of respect and kindly feeling as were the Americans. The most perfect order and good humor pre vailed, too. Though the police were scattered singly and at.intervals along the line of march, no effort was necessary to preserve order; that was kept by the people themselves; and it is a remarkable fact that, though the procession was delayed far beyond the expected time, the people held their places, and the dinner hour passed without diminishing the throng. Nor was this peculiar to anyone class of people. In the first class hotels that stand on Broadway the dinner gong sounded without avail; no one would leave the view point until after the Prince had passed, and the five o'clock repast waited until after seven for its consumers. Another fact worthy of notice was the volun- tary twining of the English dnd American colors by all classes of people. Not only the public buildings, but numerous private ones, were decorated with the kindred flags, and carmen decorated their horses, and all the ap- pliances of the people exhibited in some way the emblems of fraternal union. Aad all this was done by each individual of his owa im and at his own expense. It was a spon- taneous exhibition of the same feeling that dictated the display when the Alantic telegraph was laid, only far more intense and pervad- -ing. Among the people the concord of the two nations was a general theme of conversa- tion and congratulation. The popular idea re garding them was frequently expressed in a rough but energetic way: “If they hang togeth er they may defy the world;” and in some form or other this was the universal sentiment, and the desire for national concord was heightened by the amiable and modest bearing of the Prinoe. To the dynasties and monarchical systems of Europe the increasing of these friendly ties between the United States and Eagiaud—the only countries in the world possessing truly popular representative governments—is of vost- ly more importance than the hopes and fears that attend the path of Garibaldi in Italy, the heartburnings that pervate Germany, or the aims of the crowned heads and aspirations of the popular heart throughout Europe. The Prince of Wales must carry back with him to England, and to the throne he will one day ascend, the conviction that English liberty has ® hold on the popular feelings of this confede- ration, which is of more value to it than all the alliances that the old and falling systems of Europe can offerto it. In the order, without the external signs of government, which pervaded the hundreds of thousands that gathered to wel- come him, be has had the best proof of the virtue of free institutions; and in the enthusiastic out- pouring of a free people to welcome the heir of a friendly crown, he may find the assurance that true liberty is the most conservative ele- ment in political organizations. Bed Manegement at the Prince's Re- cepiion--Whe is to Biame? It is impossible to describe in any ordinary way the disappointment and vexation of the people in upper Broadway, caused by the mis- mapagement of some of the persons in authority on the day before yesterday. It had been offi- cially announced that the Prince would arrive at the Battery at one o’clock, and, as there were no speeches, he might reasonably expect to be at his hotel by four, or half-past four at the outside. With this understanding the to the number of tens of thousands, took their places in the shop windows, in balconies, in hotels, on the tops of houses, in the streeta—in fact, everywhere— as early as two o'clock, and some came before that hour. The cutter was an bour bebind time, then there was a review on the Bat- tery, another at the City Hall, and a series of al most interminable delays, eo that the Prince did not arrive at Canal etgeet until the day was very far advanced. Beyond this point all that the people could see was aslight figure, dreseed in scarlet uniform, with s white plumed chapeau which rose and fell among a host of bayonets glistening in the gaslight. Matlers would have been still worse had not the Mayor interfered and stopped the Park parade. As it was, the crowd in the best part of the city could not see the Prince, and he was deprived of what would have been the very finest view in all of bis reception, namely the ride through upper Broadway and around Union and Madi- son equares, on a pleasant autum day, with the bright #un ebining, and the people's faces beam- ing with pleasure. We do not desire to speak harshly of anybody; but as the procession was entirely military, the weight of public censure mneat fall on the commander of the forces. Where the 4 for the prrade wat acuntty in the City Hall Park? Why was not the line of march taken up directly after the arrival of the Prince at the Battery, and the reviewing gone through with at Madison equare? It is evident that there bave been gross misman- agement and utter stupidity somewhere. While we sbare in the general indignation ex- cited by the blunders of some jacks-in-office, we cannot leave this subject without referring particularly to the demeanor of the fatigued and impatient people, who sat or stood four or five weary bours, looking anxiously for the “trne Prince,’ and then were disappointed at last, The people endured their crosses in al- lence. There were curses, undoubtedly, but they were deep, not loud. The mucb-injured and long-suffering public seemed to understand intuitively that the fair fame of the city was entrusted to their keeping, and they resolved that it should not be tarnished by even a suspi- cion of rudeness or disorder. We bave oftem heard the mogt extravagant laudations of the Parisian crowds, who are never kept wait- ing. Only the militia officer and the democratle servant of the people are uppunctual—the real . military man and the despot are up to time, whether they give you a féte or send you to the guillotine; but we believe that our people dis- played on Wednesday more of the essential ele- ments of good breeding than any other crowd which was ever collected together anywhere ia the world. The patience of the public was as angelic as the stupidity of its tormentors was colossal. Tux Disunton Question iy Soutn Carouma.— We clip the following from the editorial oo- Jumns of the Charleston of Monday last, in reference to that day’s election fora new Legislature for the fiery little State of South Carolina:— t i i Bt jority, our condition will be dangerous and hi ‘the extreme. EL 1 i of eggreasion that would be it South from a speedy dealin, to eae at any portant to day for the ‘of South Carolina to such a body of men as will see that, so faras empowered. the State receives no detriment from their iweapacity or timidity. This simply means that such a Legislature ia wanted as will strike the signal for dieunion om the part of Scuth Carolina, upon the heels of Lincoln’s election, without waiting to be qui- etly lubricated and swallowed by the abolition boa constrictor of the North. Of the character of the Legislature in question actually elected, we bave learned nothing; but we should not be surprised if it were to develope, even before the meeting of Congrees, a state of things in South Carolina calculated to “precipitate the Southern States into a revolution.” The crisis of submis- sion or secession is near et hand, with its new order of things, for good or evil, for a restore- tion of sectional concord or for civil strife, NEWS FROM | THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. i i i i ty i bi i stl i H i ‘The Cabinet had @ long sitting to-day. All the mom- bers wore present except the Secretary of the Treasery, who is on a visit to Georgia. Nothing transpired in re- gard to their proceeding, eo if fabricators of Cabinet news: should report their made up secounts they ought to be disoredited. RUSH OF APTLICANTS FOR OFFICE. ‘The pressure for office continues just as if Mr. Be- chanan had the disposal of places for am term. What a compliment to the President. As removed no man on political grounds, the idea is emter- tatped that no more appointed by so merciful and re Jenting @ President will be proseribed. The election in Maryland shows that the old Maryland line ts for Breckinridge. The defection of the Americans to the Livoolnites, where they belong, only makes the vote for Breckinridge more sure. DESPATCHES FROM VERA CRUE. Deepatches were received at the Department of State this morning trom the legation at Vera Cruz, with dates to September 18. There was no material change in. the ‘apect of affairs. The belief was very general that ne bombardment would be attempted by the Spanish squad- ron. Despatches were also recetved this morningat the Navy Department from Flag Officer Jarvis, dated Sgn Fraa- cisco September 17. He states that there was no news ef Any consequence. The liberal forces under Gen. Ortega are at Quereiaso, waiting tor their friends to commence their operations upon the city of Mexico. Miramon ts im the city waiting for friends to enable him to attack the ‘cveral forces, From present appearances be says it will be some time before anything decisies oocurs. SPANISH DESIGNS ON DOMTNIGA. Reliable intelligence has been received bere that the Queen of Spain bas sent out ber regular officials to take poseession of the Dominican government. Spanish war si amers hare landed large corps of military officers And political enginecrs, including professors and artisans, to the number of one bundred, to take charge of the army, the schools, the pulpité, the manufactaring priviliges, and the mines of the republic. A press has been established to advocate and advance the glory of the Spanish rule, and to decry democracy, especially aa Ml- lustrated in the United fates, And all this comes, of course. from the indifference of eur govérnment to re- Cogulee the Independence of a acighboring republic, be- cause there is a nigger in the fence. Spain, fushed by ber success in ber recent ware, is extending her domin- jona wherever there is an inch of territory open to her insatiate grasp. ARMY ORDERS.
