It is stated that Napoleon, in reply to the Pope, upholds the principle of non-intervention, but promises to maintain order in the Holy See. The Papal government was actively enrolling troops, and promising large rewards to those already in the service of the Pope. There was no change of importance in financial affairs.

The wills of Robert Vails and William Matthews were admitted to probate yesterday by the Surro- £ ‘These wills distribute real and personal estate to the amount of some $50,000, exclusively among the families of each of the testators re- spectively. According to the City Inspector's report, there were 585 deaths in this city during the past week, a decrease of 37 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 19 more than occurred during the correspong@img week last year. The na- | tivity table gives 260@mtives of the United States, 7 of England, 64 of Ireland, 35 of Germany, 5 of Scotland, and the balance of various foreign coun- tries. The cotton market was firm and active yesterday, The sales embraced between 5,000 and 6,000 bales, including 2,000 in transitu. We quote middling uplands at llc. a ll‘,e. There were further reports from the South re- Barding the occurrence of frost, especially on the up- lands, resulting in more or less injary to the crop; but the facts of the case and the extent of the damage, if seri- ous, only mail accounts can decide. A telegraphic de- #pateh from Augusta, Georgia, mentioned the advent of frost, and withdrew some cotton in this market from sale. Flour was firm, but some less active, while the adyance of Saturday for State and Western brands was evstained, and most descriptions of extra brands were firmer and higher. Good red and amber colored wheat was firm and in good demand, while inferior grades were less buoyant and somewhat irregular. Corn was firm and in good ro- quest, with sales at steady prices. Pork was steady and in moderate demand. The sales embraced new moss at $19 76 a $19 90, and new prime at $14 50. Sugar was steady and in good demand, with sales of about 6008 700 bhds., and 150 do. melado, at rates given in another column, Coffee was firm, with sales of 2,000 bags Rio, ex Oncle, at 142% , 600 do.

Freighta were tolerably active, and for Liverpool and London closed with more buoyancy, especially for large parcels of grain end four. Now tor New York. ‘The momentous battle of Marengo waa, to all appearances, lost to Napoleon, when General Deesaix, with his division, came up, and turn- ed the tide of victory into the utter rout of the Austrians. So now with this all important Presidential battle. It is apparently lost; but | the reserved conservative forces of New York are coming up, and they still may change this apparent defeat into a complete and decisive victory. After the late astounding republican majori- ties in Pennsylvania, Obio and Indiana, it wonld be folly to persist any longer in the idea that Lincoln may be defeated, if the results left the North without a bulance of power still ia reserve against him. But New York has not yet spoken, and without the thirty-five elec toral votes of New York Liscoln cannot be elected. Again, from the organization of the republican party down to this day, it has never come within forty thousand of one-half the ab- solute popular vote of the State. All our State elections from 1855 to 1800 indicate an actual or reserved popular majority against the repnblicans ranging between forty and sixty thonsand. All that is needed, therefore, to turn the tide of victory against the republicans is the con- centration of the elements of this popular con- eervative majority into a solid column. Can this be done? Why not? We have still a margin of three weeks of working time—a satis- | factory union ticket is before the people—the isenes of the campsign are thoronghly under- stood—New York city is thoronghly alive to the crisis—but the anti-republican factions in the interior call for encouragement and assist- ance in the work of organizing and combining their forces, The exigency demands a liberal outlay of labor and means on the partof the conservatives of the city in behalf of their brethren inthe rural districts. The organiza- tion of the union ticket here will not suffice. The occasion requires a large and comprehen- sive distribution of our prodigious metropolitan resources throughout the State. We want another metropolitan Union meet- ing—not a meeting of mere windy speeches and patriotic resolutions, torches and fireworks, but a practical business meeting, upon Kow euth’s practical idea, “material and financial aid.” We want a meeting of our conservative business men, and subscriptions and intellizent volunteers for the purposes of organization all over the State. We dare say that in dresses, jewelry, &c., at least five hundred thousand dollars were expended by the parties con- cerned for the late ball of our old folks to the young Prince of Wales. One-half this eum, or one-fourth of it, judiciously distributed through- ont the State, would rally our conservative forces togetber, and organize them for a good report on.election day. We all know that the election of Lincola will be the initial point of a great political re- volution, It must be so. The principles, the purposes, the promises and the necessities of the republican party all point to a radical change in the policy of the federal government, involving the most serious consequences to all eections, all classes, all interests of the Ame- rican people, political, financial, commer- | cial and social. Inevitably Liacoln’s election | will be the signal for political movemeats and agitations in the Southern States which will | operate disastrously to all the financial, com- mercial and manufacturing interests of the | North, and through all their ramifications, evea j without apy overt act of secession, The whole | South, with Lincoln’s election, will be thrown into a state of confusion, excitement and alieoa- | tion, which cannot otherwise result than in a | widespread financial depression and revulsion | throughout the principal cities and States of the North. The radical abolition policy in the adminis- tration of the federal government contemplated by the republican party is too revolutionary in its aims and tendencies to justify the opinion that no sectional troubles and no financial dis orders will follow the election of Lincoln. There is no safety before us, except through his defeat. There is no hope of his defeat, except through the decisive vote of New York. And upon New York, more interested in and more dependent upon the Union and the peace of the Union than any other State, it is proper that the responsibility for the iseue of this fearful contest should be thrown. The paltry mousing spoils politicians of the democracy of Massachusetts and the adjoining | States bave turved over all New England into | the hands of the enemy; the contemptible per- sonal feuds and factious quarrels among the Douglas managers and Breckinridge managers at Washington and in Philadelphia, and out West, have operated to give the republicans 4 clean sweep from the Delaware river to the Mississippi. The same difficulties to fusion have been operating here, through the miserable intrigues of such old factious politi- cal hacks as Dean Richmond, John A. Green and others of the same pattern. But these Marplots have been overruled by our Union volunteers, with their Union ticket. The basis of union is thus arranged—the city is sound, but from its ample munitions of war the State demands assistance. The republicans have pretty well exhausted their resources upon Pennsylvania and Indiana. They take New York for granted, counting confidently upon the failure of our fusion movement. But they can be disappointed | in this estimate. There is a heavy majority in this State against them ; but the se- | veral factions concerned in the interior want good advice, a general system of organization upon the idea of Lincoln’s defeat, leaving Douglas. Breckinridge, Bell, squatter sovereign- ty, intervention, and everything else except Lincoln’s defeat, out of sight. To bring all the Union elements of the State to a solid coalition | upon this one idea, another Union meeting, we H repeat it, is needed in this city--a meeting for the mustering of capable men, and for the col- lection of the sinews of war for an earnest fight in the rural districts; and the sooner we have this meeting the better. Within the interval of grace of three weeks to the election the State of New York may be saved, and Lincoln may thus be defeated ; but not a dayshould be lost in the call for this sug- gested metropolitan Union meeting, as from a committee of public safety. Tax Prince or Wass’ Scrre is tan Herany Orricr.—On Saturday afternoon, while the Prince was making the round of the sights on Broadway, a portion of his suite paid a visit to the Herat office. They were taken over the establishment, and inquired minutely into the details of ite daily operations. The machinery of the press room especially excited their cu- | riosity, Hoe’s ten cylinder presses eliciting from them warm expressions of admiration. When shown the heaps of blank paper which stood piled up ready for the presswork of the night, they were astonished to learn that they would be all worked off in a single morning's iseue. | This led to an inquiry as to the amount of our circulation, and when informed that it had ave- raged daily for the past week from ninety to | ninety-three thousand, they at once compre- hended the influence which a journal appealing to such @ vast number of readers must exercise over the mind of the country. From this it may be anticipated that, as re- | gards the journalism as well as the other insti- | tutions of the United States, the royal party will take back with them to Evgland very dit- Jereat impressions from those with which they leit it. They came hgre expecting to find us bebindband in all the elements of civilization | and refinement. They have learned to their | great surprise that, whilat but in few instances is that opinion well founded, in most things we are far in advance of the boasted intelligence, mechanical skill and refined tastes of the Earo- pean nations. In nothing has that fact been more cleariy demonstrated to them than in the immense circulation aud influence of our jour- nals. In the astonishing fidelity and rapidity with which the I’rince’s movements have been reported for our co\umns sioce he first set foot | op ourshores, they have an example of news- paper energy and enterprise which the London | journals bave never been able to imitate. The | tact is that the English press as little under- stands the uses of the telegraph as it compre- hends the true character of iw own mission as an agent of progress. Tor Pesvsyivasta Exxcrion Fuxp—Warcw Parry Dip tre Mover Cornurtion® ~Money has always been notoriously the motive power in Tennsylvania elections. No seoner does an election time approach in the quondam Key- stone State than an army of beggars are des- patched all over the North on an eleemosynary | mission; but with regard to the late election there appears to be a kind of snarl between the republicans and democrats as to which party / got the moet money from other States and used — it--oritber being willing to take the lead in the | race of bribery and corruption. One of the republican organs at Albany admits that the | National Republican Committee donated the | eum of $5,000 towards Curtin’s election, be- sides paying for 200,000 campaign documents, — which must have costa nice sum; and that io addition the State Committee raised, by volun- | tary subscription, ten thousand dollars, anda | private committee in Philadelphia some five | thousand more. How much larger the sums raised in other quarters were is not stated, but we may conclude that the aggregate corruption | fund was pretty handsome. The democratic | j Sima collectors did not fare eo well, for the people in New York and elsewhere, who were accustomed to dole out liberally to the Penn- eylvania beggars, kept their purse strings rather tight this time. The probability is that the Pennsylvania democratic politicians, who are about the most corrupt and rotten crew in the whole country, took money from both parties. Forney, we all know, was bought by the republicans for the price of the Clerkship of the House of Repre- sentatives, and we know, also, that he received some $50,000 bard cash from the New York democracy in 1856. Itis very likely that in the late election the democratic voters of Penn- sy!vania took all they could get from their own party; but, as it is admitted that the republi- cans raised a considerable fund to corrupt them, they muy have taken the higher price offered from that quarter, too, and hence the success of the republican State ticket. Penn- sylvania claims to be the Keystone of the arch which supports the Union; butit looks very like as if the Keystone could be easily forced out of its place by @ crowbar in the component parts whereof gold formed the largest ratio. Parties Ranging for the Irrepressible Conflict—The Duty of New York. We have three weeks more to the Presiden- tial election, and the result of that contest must depend upon whether the conservative men of New York will exert themselves, and carry this State against the abolitionized black republican party, and avert the davgers which its triumph involves. The result of the recent elections in Pennsyl- vania, Ohio and Indiana has awakened an in- tense feeling North and South, and we give to- day, in another column, a series of extracts showing the hopes and fears of the extremists in each section. In the South, submission to the rule of Lincoln and a black republican ad- ministration is already looked upon with terror. Noone can deny that under such auspices, even under the most hopeful results, a period of agitation against the institution of tlavery in the Southern States must commence, and of a character open and defiant, such as bas never before been witnessed in any coun- try. The Charleston Mercury, in an article given elsewhere to-day, portrays the immediate effect of such a movement upon the interests of the South, in a singularly mild and logical arti- cle for its columns. It assumes that the result of submission in the South will be the creation of an abolition party there, that the value of slave property will be at once affected to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars, that their migration to the cotton States will at once commence, that the border slave States will at once commence an agitation within themselves to become free States, and that eventually the whole institution will be destroyed by the rapid progress of distrust in the public mind. As the value of all property in the South depends on the permanence of its slave population, it deduces that lands, public improvements, banks, stocks of all kinds, and every representative of wealth, will crumble into nothingness, On the other hand, it will be seen, by a letter which we copy from the Boeton Liberator—Gar- rison’s paper—that the radical abolitionists are willing to accept Lincoln and the progress he will bring towards their revolutionary aims. They declare their satisfaction with the black republican platform, and the principles pro- claimed by the Presidential candidate on it, and assert that should Wm. Lloyd Garrison wish to establish a paper in Richmond, or Wendell Phillips to stump the Southern States, Lincoln would be obliged to protect them against popu- lar violence and the State laws, by proclama- tion and the use of the army and navy. And, in- deed, if we look facts in the face, we cannot feel certain that Garrison and Phillips would encounter any greater danger in Richmond ufter Lincoln’s inauguration than they did in pro- claiming their theories twenty years ago in many Northern cities. It is plain, from the let- ter of Mr. Somes to Gerrit Smith, which we give to-day from the Boston Liberator, that the radical abolitioniste are determined “ to beard the lion in his den,” as they call it, and to es- tablish abolition papers and lecturers in the very midst of the slave States, and they will call upon the federal power to pretect them there. The natural result of these movements will be to consolidate the South upon one of the Presidential candidates acceptable to them. Whether this will be Breckinridge or Douglas there are as yet no signs by which to determine; but one or the other must become the represen- tative candidate of the consolidated Southera States. That there is danger in division they are already beginning to perceive, and safety can be obtained only by their presenting an | undivided and solid front. Had they done so from the moment the break up of the old de- mocratic party occurred, the result of the re- cent elections in the central States might have been very different. It was their own divisions, their want of unity of purpose, their wavering between Breckinridge and Bell, their slowness to comprehend the true import of the move- ments of Mr. Douglas, and the folly and imbe- cility of many of their leaders, that disgusted their Northern allies and led to division and defeat in the North. It is not yet too late to redeem the fight; but in order to do se there must be decision of action in the South, and energy among the con- servative men of the North. The extracts we give to-day from the Southern papers show the dangerous abyss to which we are tending, and should awaken in every bosom a desire to avert the pending calamity. New York can do so if the will, and it is only necessary that the great mass of the conservative majority in this State unite on the one electoral ticket opposed to Lincoln to save the country. If Lincoln is not NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1860.—TRIPLE SHEET. defeated there will be an agitation North and | South that will affect the value of every epecies ef property, curtail the emoluments of com- merce and the reward of labor, and produce a financial revulsion from which the present ration will not recuperate. Poor Tammany in Its Last Tarows.—It is very amusing to see poor oid, effete Tammany going round with as much importance in the coming election as if it really had any in- fluence at all in its remlt; as if any candidate obtaining the nomination of Tammany Hall ex- clusively, unsupported in other quarters where some life and vigor remain, has any chance at all in November. Tammany, as an influential organization, is dead and gone. It continued to maintain an existence for some years past by pickings from the public treasury, through the slippery fingers of Fowler, to the amount of seme two hundred thousand dollars; but that resource is now cut off. Fowler, in fact, supplied the money and Sickles the Wrains which kept Tammany among the living things; but both are now gone, and Tammany has been swept down the cataract of the political Niagara, leaving not» fragment of its rotten carcass to be found in the vortex below. New ideas and new issues have wiped poor old Tam- many off the face of the earth: and yet its bangers on coptinue, with an assumption which is bighly amusing, to make nominations and cut a ghostly figure among the living elements now in action in the contest going on in the city. The best thing that the men like Herrick and Chanler, and others who have received nomina- tions from Tammany exclusively, could do would be to resign, if they want to preserve avy decent position at all, for there is no possi- ble chance of any candidate being elected upon such an endorsement. Tammany re- ceived one terrible blow at the municipal elec- tion last year, in the defeat of Havemeyer, but it is finished now. The Coal Hole has lost its potency, and the splendors of the Pewter Mug have departed. ‘The Prince's Bali Once More. The ball in honor of the Prince of Wales still continues to be the chief topic of discussion in the press and private circles. The full particu- lars of the affair have been presented to the public. Everybody knows that the manage- ment of the ball was monopolized by a clique of very respectable, and, at the same time, venerable people—that young New York was wenerally excluded—that the Chamber ot Com- merce predominated, and that the Prince was treated in a most edifying and fatherly manner. It is generally conceded that, notwithstanding the very liberal expenditure and the very elaborate preliminary arrangements, the ball was, on the whole, a failure. It was not, in the real sense of the term, a ball. It was rather a sexagenarian reception, a mouldy soiree, a sort of exhibition of costly antiques. The Prince's ball is our second attempt, dur- ing this year, to entertain the guesta of the na- tion with a saltatory exhibition. The first was the Japanere ball at Niblo’s Garden—an affair which created quite as much excitement as the demonstration at the Academy on last Friday night. The Japanese ball was gotten up by tbe committee of the Common Council charged with the arrangements for the reception of the Tycoon’s representatives. This commit- tee attempted to do the thing upon a grand scale. They went to great expease in the decorations, and gave carte blanche for the supper. They made some stupid blunders, however, sent out too many tickets, and invited too many of that peculiar class vulgarly but graphically denominated the roughs. In con- sequence of this latter circumstance the Ja- panese ball, between the hours of eleven and two, was a vulgar jam. After the crowd had thinned out somewhat the real business of the night commenced—the young folks had an op- portunity to dance, and the affair ended ina much more pleasant way than it commenced. The Japanese ball was distinctly a popu- lar gathering. The people appeared on that occasion. They made some errors— they did not wear white cravats, as a rule, and the dress coat was notde rigtur. For these reasons the Japanese ball was set down asa failure, and the Aldermen who got it up were liberally anathematized. When the question as to the reception of the Prince of Wales came up it was decided among the merchants that the affair should not be left in the hands of the Common Council. Wall and Beaver and Front streets—particularly Front street—resolved to do the thing handsomely, and give the Alder- men a leason. Accordingly a large and reepecta- ble committee was constituted, unlimited funds were placed at the disposal of the active mem- bers of the body, and a very fine display was na- turally expected. The company at the ball was very carefully selected. The upper ten thou- sand were reduced two-thirds in numbers. The whole affair was painfully select. Now we come to the grand result. That was an assemblage of venerable individuals of both sexes, actuated by only one desire in the world—to monopolize the attention of the guest of the evening. The programme was cut and dried beforeband, like Thurlow Weed’s slate for a republican convention. The Pewter- Stick in-Waiting gave the Prince his partners, dictated all the particulars of the ball, and made it exclusively a family affair. Accord- ing to precedent, both in Eogland and the provinces, the Prince should have opened the ball with the daughter of the Mayor. That honor was given to the wife of the Governor. This would have been excutable bad Mise Wood been afforded, subsequently, an oppor- tunity to dance with the Prince. , The omission was not supplied. and the Floor Committee were either very ignorant aod excessively stupid, or else they were guilty of a most unwarrantable stretch of the power placed im their hands. The management of the ball altogether was marked by a series of outrageous and inex- curable blunders. The “best society ia New York” behaved very badly. The people crowd- ed around the Prince's set in the most impolite way. They were even worse than the friends of the Aldermen at the Japanese ball, because the latter made no especial pretensions to euperior cultivation, while the Academy people claim that they belong to the first circles. There was ample room at the Academy for everybody to see the Prince; yet such was the vulgar curiosi- ty of some of the beau monde that the vicinity of bis set was the scene of the most disagreea ble contests, souvenirs of which, in the shape of fragments of ladies’ dresses, were found upon the floor the morning after the fray. Oa the whole, the Prince of Wales’ ball was not much better than that given by the Aldermen to the Japanese. Perhaps it may be safe to conclude that neither the members of the Chamber of Commerce nor of the Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen are exactly the pro. per persons to be charged with the arrangement of the detaile of a court ball. On the whole, we are inclined to believe that young men and women are, according to the eternal fitness of things, the proper devotees of Terpsichore, and that when a man or woman has reached the age of three score years, he or she is quite old enovgh to know better than to attempt to mange the details of a ball. As for the Academy affair, the cliqueism apparent in its direction was quite aa offensive, and much more culpable, than the blunders of the Alder- men at the Japanese ball. The sooner these things are reformed the better it will be for the fair fame of the city. ‘Mu Max Manerzex —It has been freely stated {n several jourvals that Mr Max Mareteck would be connected with the management of the Opera during the next season.
