The steamship Vanderbilt, Captain Lefevre, did not, go to sea yesterday, in consequence of the heavy swell on the bar, Captain L. deeming it im- prudent to cross on a falling tide. She will pro- ceed on her voyage at ten o'clock this forenoon. We shall send our latest edition, containing news to four o'clock this moraing, by the V., thus giving Earope one day later American intel. ligence. She will reach England before the squadron, which left Portland yesterday a‘. ternoon with the Prince of Wales aad suite, will arrive in England. The news of the de- partare of the royal fleet, and of the completion of the triumphal tour of the Prince through the United States, will thus be known in England two or three days in advance of the appearance of the squadron off Plymouth, where it is to be met by the Channel squadron. The Vanderbilt will arrive at Southampton on the 30th instant. The Duke of Newcastle promised to return to England with the Prince on the first of November. He will probably arnive at home on the 2d ar 3d of that month. The News. The steamship City of Manchester, Captain Mier- house, from Liverpool 3d, and Queenstown 4th inst., arrived at this port yesterday. She brings no news, her advices having been anticipated by the Arabia. The steamship Vanderbilt left this port yester- day for Southampton and Havre, with 181 passen- gers and $591,229 in specie. The City of Balti- more also left this port yesterday for Qusens- town and Liverpool, with 265 passengers. She takes no specie. Owing to the strong northeaster- ly gale which prevailed yesterday, the Vanderbilt came to anchor at Quarantine, from whence she will depart at ten o'clock this forenoon for Europe. It is reported that the City of Baltimore anchored in the lower bay. The northeasterly winds that prevailed during all of last week increased to a violent gale on Friday evening, which continued without abatement up to an early hour this morning. We have as yet heard of no disasters to shipping in the neighborhood of New York, but none of the Southern steamers due at this port had arrived up to the hour of going to press. Despatches from Norfolk and Baltimore state that the gale was very severe in Chesapeake Bay, and that the lower portion of the first men- tioned city was completely submerged by the storm. The [riace of Wales and his suite left Boston yesterday forenoon, amid enthusiastic cheers from the citizens, and accompanied by Governor Banks and other distinguished geatlemen, for Portland, where he was received by the Governor ofthe State of Maine, the Mayor of Portland, ® respectable body of military and the entire population. He was escorted through the streets of the city, and ‘mally embarked on board the British war steamer Hero. The cannon of the war ships and the bat- teries thandered, the bands played the national airs of Britain and America, the vast concourse of people shouted their adieux, and the royal squadron steamed away for Merrie England. The closing scenes of the Prince's tour are graphically de- scribed in our columns this morning. The Republican City and County Convention met last evening at the headquarters, No. 618 Broadway, to make a nomination for candidate for Jadge of the Superior Court, in place of Judge Pierrepont, resigned, thre? years of whose term are yet unexpired. The convention went into an in- formal ballot, with the following result :—James W. White, 76; John Slausson, 6; scattering, 4. Mr. White was then unanimously nominated by acclamation, after which the convention adjourned. The National Democratic City and County Con- vention assembled last evening at Mozart Hall, for the purpose of nominating a person to fill the place of Judge Pierrepont, as Judge of the Superior Court. After a short session, which was held with closed doors, they nominated Frederick A. Tal- madge by acclamation. The Coroner's investigation Into the circum- stances attending the death of Mrs. Jane Augusta Biankman, formerly known as Fanny White, was resumed yesterday. A full report of the testimony is given in another colamn. At the conclusion of the evidence the jury rendered a verdict that the deceased died of apoplexy. The counsel of Mr. Devlin have moved, before Jadge Leonard, in the Supreme Court, for a writ of certiorari to bring the matter before the General Term. The plea of Mr. Devlin, which was to have been given in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, was postponed until Monday morning, in order to give Judge Leonard time to read the papers on the motion for a certiorari. In consequence of the unfavorable state 0° the | weather yesterday, the usual open air concet dd | not ‘ae place at the Central Park, | The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 4.000 @ 5,000 bator, closing frm ou the basis of L1sg0. for mid dling uplands. Tbe dour market was heavy, aud opensd ut easier rates for State and Western shipping brands, which cavged more activity in sales. Wheat was less ac tive and buoyant, and from Ic." 20, per bushe! lower for red wonter and spring. Corn was lower, with sales 61 60 000 @ 70.000 bushels a! 70c. a 704g. @ Tle. for Weat- ern mixed, afloa and in store, and 78}¢e. a Tdo for fat yellow.

Wheat was co- gaged to Liverpool, in ship's bag, at 12\¢4. a 12}gd., and flour at 3s, 3d.,and cotton at %U. To London wheat, in bulk, was taken at 125d. 134., and flour at 38. 9d. ‘The Disunion Question in South Chro- lina—The Crisis at Hand. In nearly all the Southern States the public mind, in anticipation of Lincoln’s election, appears to be confused and paralyzed, drifiing about, apprehensive of danger and mischief to Southern institutions, yet undetermined what to do. There is one State, however, in which it is very evident, from her organs of public opinion, that the minds of the people are made up. That State, of course, is South Carolina. Nearly all ber public journals concur in the opinion that she must and will secede on re- ceipt of satisfactory information that Abraham Lincoln is elected President of the United States. Nor do the newspapers of South Carolina stond unsupported upon this point by the action of the people. On the contrary, they have lately elected a State Legislature in which the secession element, including R. Barnwell! Khett, from Charleston, largely predominates. This Legislature is to meet at Columbia on the 6th day of November, to elect the electors whose duty it will be to cast the vote of the State for President and Vice President; and said Legislature is to attend to such other busi ness on the occasion, according to the Gover- nor’s proclamation, “as the safety of the State may require.” This is generally construed a3 meaning that active legislation will be re- quired, providing for the withdrawal of South Carolina from the Union, including the proper notice in advance to the other copartners as to the general government, that South Carolina, from and after, say the 4th day of March next, must be counted out. This idea of South Carolina leading off in the work of a Southern confederacy meets with en- couragement from the secessionists of Georgia Alabama and Mississippi, and even ia Tennessee they are sympathizers in the movement. Mean- time the young men of the Palmetto chivalry are organizing themselves as a volunteer po- litico-military body, of the style and title of “Minute Men.” The badge adopted is “a blue rosette, two and a half inches in diameter, with a military button in the centre, to be worn on the side of the hat” Some of them also wear “a red scarf, with the letters M. M. imprinted on it.’ The Columbia Carolinian, speaking of this organization, says “the recent elections will doubtless stimulate its growtb, and we would not be surprised if, ia a month, with proper drill and discipline, it furnishes an army strong enough to maintain any independent move that may be made by the Southern States.”” All this has a very revolutionary aspect; but we find in our last received issue of the Charleston Mercury a little paragraph which gives “a silver lining to this cloud” of war. Itis a public no- tice in behalf of Senator Hammond, whose sound and statesmanlike conservatism is well known to our readers, that “he will be a candi- date before the Legislature for reelection to the United States Senate; that “as rumors of his withdrawal have bean current, we deem it an act of justice to him to state the fact” that he does not withdraw; but that “whatever may have been his intentions at a previous period, the present critical aspect of affairs prevents his voluntary retirement from the public service.” Now we dare say that Senator Hammond is not prepared to hold the election of Lincoln as our next President a sufficient cause in itself for the secession of South Carolina, but that he holds to the opinion that she should await from the new administration some official action le velled at the peace and safety of the Southern States. To this end, we presume, Mr. Ham- mond desires to be present in the Senate at Washington after the 4th of March next, in order that he may consult with Southern Sena- tors and representatives as to the course they sball pursue, should the composition of “Old Abe's” Cabinet, or the drift of bis inaugural ad- dress, foreshadow the prosecution of an active abolition programme against Southern slavery and “the slave power.” On the day of the Presidential election, how- ever, the new secession Legislature of South Carolina will assemble to deliberate upon this very question. The news of Lincoln's election among these men will be very apt to drown all considerations of prudent delay; and so it is by no means impossible that South Carolina may cross the Rubicon, or do something which will compel Mr. Buchanan, in his annual December message, to call the attention of Congress to the subject, in order to avert the catastrophe of a threatened collision between the federal and the local authorities of the State. In any event, with Lincoln's election we shall have a great upbeaving, overturning and re construction in all our political affaires. It is not surprising that, foreseeing this war of the elements gathering in the horizon, our kite-tly- ers, epeculators and fancy men of Wall street should be walking about with their heads to the ground, impatiently awaiting the issue of this Presidential battle. Comrrrotier Haws axp tue Pvstic Caa- nities.—It is stated that Comptroller Haws is preparing a statement of all the sums of money appropriated out of the public funds for some years past to the different charitable institu. tions of the city, and, as far as can be obtained, the amount of good resulting from those appro- priations. We cannot commend too highly the value of such a report, if it be made fall and thorough. Vast sums of money are expended every year out of the tax levy, by various or dinances of the Legislature and Common Coun- cil, and if the public were acquainted with the mode of distribution, and the actual amount of good otherwise resulting from the proper or improper disposition of it, it would lead, perbaps, to the exercise of more discrimination in making these donations. We have very little doubt that there are pleaty ofevils in the management of our public charities which cry aloud for correction; and it would be well to know what fostitutions are governed (in a narrow and meas apirit. and which of them are productive of most good to the objects for which they are specially designed. As aa in- stance of the ungenerous spirit in which some of these institutions may be managed, we may mention incidentally that students of the Ho- meopathic College, chartered by the last Legis- lature, made application to visit the wards of one of our public hospitals, as the students of all medical colleges are entitled to do; they were refused admittance, and upon inquiry they found that they were excluded at the or- der of an allopathic physician, We merely cite this incident to show how narrow minded are the managers of some of these public charities, which are supported in part by funds contributed from a common source, when thece young men could be excluded from a hospital because they chose to study medicine according toa different theory from that of the conductors thereof. Upon investigating the ma- nagement of other public charities it will per- haps be found that they are not administered with a view to the public good ao much asin @ personal and narrow spirit. We trust, then, that Mr. Haws will be enabled to give us a full and true history of every charitable institution in the city which may be the recipient of any portion of the public money. Such an expo- sition will do a great deal of good. American Sensations During 1860—What Next? The Prince of Wales sailed for home yesterday, embarking at Portland, Maine; and soerds our latest sensation. The year 1860 has been fruitful in exciting events; our wide awake, mercurial people have had their hands and their heads full all the time. Aa the man in the play says, “there has been so much going on that hardly anybody could tell what was going on.” Those indomitable fellows, the New York reporters, have had just as much as they could do (and that is saying a great deal) to keep pace with the railway progress of events. As for the British journalists who came over with a view to astonish us by their superiority, they have been a week or ten days behind, and so completely bothered by the whirl and roar and bustle about their heads as to be reduced to a condition bordering upon helpless idiocy. We started off in this memorable sensation year with the general smashing up of the democratic party, an organization which ouce assumed a Divine right to govern the country, but which became so utterly unprincipled and corrupt as to inspire nothing but sentiments of the most pro found contempt in the mind of every sensible man. So, at Charleston, the democratic party, after a derce struggle for life—a tremend effort for existence—expired before the eyes of the nation, and went to its grave unwept, un- honored and unsung; its only mourners were a few scurvy politicians who wept over the pros- pect that they might be forced to earn an honest living. A little sensation was caused by a feeble at- tempt to galvanize the democratic corpse at Baltimore; but this was crushed out by the near approach of the great event of the year, the ar- tival of the Japanese Embassy, the first mis- sion ever sent by the Oriental Britons to any Western Power. The Japanese princes created a very great eensation. At Washing- ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York there was a Japanese fever, and the public pulse rose to an unprece- dented height. Nor was there time enough for usto cool off before the Great Eastern came steaming up tbe bay, amid the roar of cannon, the flattering of countless flags, and the accla. mations of thousands of delighted people. The big ship made a sensation only second to that caused by our Japanese guests. If the Great Fastern had been decently managed the public curiosity about her might have been turned to much more profitable account. Let us hope that Mr. Bull got an idea or two upon that head. As the Great Eastern departs, much after the manner of an overgrown schoolboy who has been justly snubbed, a royal equadron is seen riding at anchor in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It bas borne to the shores of the New World the heir apparent to one of the oldest and proudest of European thrones. Under triumphal arches, over rose-strewn pathways, through gaily deco- rated cities, followed by the shouts of thousands of loyal provincials, this young Prince makes his way to the frontier of the United States. The republic greets him most cordially, as the immedinte representative of a great and friendly Power. For the first time in the history of the nation a Prince of the blood royal is lodged in the White House, and rides up Broadway side by eide with the chief mogistrate of the city. Old Boston—the scene of the massacre, of the mustering of the Conti- nental armies, of the desperate encounter on Breed’s,Hill—old Boston pours outall her learn- ing, ber wit, her refinement and her beauty to do honor to the lineal descendant of George the Third. And with the debarkation at a port often menaced by British arms, the eventful drama is brought to an appropriate close. The question now is, after all this excitement, are we to have a little quiet, or is there another teneation following closely upon the heels of those we have already experienced! We do not pretend to look into futurity, but it seems to us that our next eensation may be one of a very terious character. On the 6th of next month we are to elect a President of the United States. If Mr. Lincoln should be chosen—and there is every probability that his party will succeed—then we shall have a President for the North rather than for the whole Union. At Sny rate, that isthe ground already taken by the Scuth, where, itis useless to deny or at- tempt to conceal the fact, a storm is brewing. Wall street, ever eensitive to real danger, has already begun to scent gunpowder in the Southern breezes. The stock speculators are holding #f, and will not operate, one way or the other, until after the election. How far the feeling of disaffection in the South extends, or what will be its results, are matters beyond buman ken, We hope that our next sensation will be as harmless as those which have pre ceded it; but we have veey serious fears that such will not be the case. Tuk Dramatic Coryriaut Law—As Ie portant Deciston.—There bas been a great deal of dispute and no small amount of lisiga tion brought about by the act of Congress, ap- proved by which the provisions of the copyright law were further extended to dra matic authors and proprietors of plays, ia whole or in part original. [t bas been de clared by Bohemian managers and peripatetic “atare” who wish to find an excuse for pillag- ing t other prop at the law vs property was £0 loosely drawn as to have no binding force, and although the question has been fre- quently before the courts, there has been no direct decision upon its merits until a short time since, in Boston, when certain parties were sued for infringement upon Mr. Bourcl- cault’s copyright of the drama called the “ Oc- toroop,” and Mr. Justice Sprague gave an opiviov, which covers the whole ground, sus- tains all the points raised on Bourcicault’s be- ba'f, and grants on injunction against the defendants, In view of the import- ance of this decision, we have print- ed it in full elsewhere, and persons who are hereafter tempted to indulge in the very economical, though not very praiseworthy, practice of stealing the fruits of other people's mental labor, can no longer set up the plea that the law is worthless. Mr. Justice Sprague is a sound jurist, and bis decision will scarcely be reversed by any federal judge in the country. The decision in this case is of importance to the general public as well aa to the authors and managers. The public demand fresh plays, and the history, romance and poetry of our country offer a splendid field to dramatic au- thors. If they can be secyred in their copy- rigbt, eo as to be remunerated for their labors like other literary men, it will not be many years before we shall have an American drama worthy of the name. The Misstonary Broil at Constantinople. Elsewhere will be found a translation of the correspondence which has passed between the Eoglish Ambassador at Constantinople and the Armenian. Patriarch, in reference to the riot tbat lately took place at the interment of an American Protestant in that city. The long standing animosity between the two antagonistic creeds, Mahomedanism and Christianity, the representatives respectively of barbarism and civilization, culminated to a crisis in the recent atrocities in Syria. When these two religious elements come into colli- sion the interests of humanity demand that all Christendom should combine to give the su premacy to Christianity; but where local dis- putes break out amongst Eastern Christians themselves, the intervention of foreign Powers carries us back to a period which none but fanatics would wish to see recalled. The policy of the European governments at the close of the seventeenth century was mark- ed by a spirit of exaggerated religious enthu- siasm, and although our own century is too far advanced in civilization to tolerate its re- vival, yet modern European diplomatists appa- rently consider that policy too advan- tageous to be relinquished. Constantino- ple is the field in which they are at present prosecuting their rival interests, under cover of this pretended zeal for religion. Rueeia through the Greeks and Armenians, France through the Catholics, and Great Bri tain and the other Protestant Powers through a new community recently created by the Ameri- can missionaries, of whom our own Minister has, it eeems, also constituted himself the protector. The riot which recently took place over the grave of a proselyte of this sect furnished a pre- text to championize Protestantism which was eagerly seized upon. The affair had been, to all appearance, arranged, when the representatives of the Protestant governments undertook to resettle it. When informed that by the treaty of Paris they were debarred from interfering —the Sultan alone having jurisdiction in the matter— the American Minister declared himself exempt from its stipulations, the United States not hav- ing been a party to it. It should be added that Mr. Williams is stated to have assigned as a rea- son for the part which he took, that the officiat- ing clergyman at the interment was an Ameri can ; but we cannot see why that circumstance should involve diplomatic interference, since he was simply discharging a Christian duty. If the account that we have received be correct, the officiating priest was the Armenian pastor of the Protestant branch of that nationality. American citizenship had, therefore, nothing to do with the matter—the missionaries having made use of this pretext only to intimidate the Porte through our Minister—their motive being evident in the demand which they are said to bave forwarded to our government for a man- of-war. Such are the facts as they have been reported to us. We trust that they have been exag- gerated, and that our Minister has not been led by the persuasions of these men to forget his position as representative of the United States, whose policy is opposed to everything like ag- gression, or political or religious meddling in the affairs of other countries. When we want a territory we pay for it, as in the case of Califor- nia and New Mexico, and as we should be glad to do for Cuba; and when we desire to secure commercial influence we go straight to our object, as we did in the case of Japan. How- ever strong may be our religious sympathies with our fellow Christians abroad, we do not allow them to betray us into disputes which our political system has made no provision for. We are a commercial republic, and not an in- triguing despotism. Our diplomatic text book is the ledger, and our primum mobile dollars and cents. Our interest in Turkey lies in her drugs and spices, her fruits, wool and other products, for which we exchange our cot- ton fabrics, rum, Yankee notions, &:.; and if we feel any particular sympathy towards the Armenians, it is because they are the Yankees of the East, as well as Christians like ourselves. Hence it neither comports with the spirit of our constitution nor with our commercial in- terest that we should interfere in the religious differences of other nationalities, and strict watch should be kept over our diplomatic agents to prevent them being made the dupes and instruments of a set of fanatics who would embroil the world for the sake of making « single proselyte. We trust that steps will be taken to remove any unfavorable impression which the conduct of our representative may have created at Con- stantinople. This should be done promptly, as the British Minister, Sir Henry Lytton Bul- wer, seems inclined to withdraw from aoy further action in the affair. I: is importaat that the Eastern populations should be made to understand that the American mission ules do not represent the Americaa people, inas- much as they are men of limited experience, little knowledge of the world, and, though well meaning, fiercely bigoted. This explaaa tion is espectaily due to the Armenian com mupity and thelr Patiiarch, who must have been led to form strange opinions of our boasted liberality in religious matters from the conduct of these wer. be t ia reported to b been, by the i fetente ef out Mn.

The following extracts will explain how. The first is from the Doug- las organ at Washington, to wit: ANOTHER FALSEHOOD NAILED, Tt bas been stated in some quarters that Mr, William L.

Dear Sin—Your note of to day has been received. In reply, I state that when Mr. Yaveey was en route for the Baitimore Convention he stopped in Washington and stayed with the Hon. Mr. Pugh, of Alabama. In company with Mr. W. Fisher, of Virginia, a delegate to the Convention, I called to see Mr. Yancey. Mr. Yance; was alone when we called. Mr. Pugh and Colonel Hubbard, of Virginia, subsequently came in. In the course of the conversation it was remarked that Mr. Dovgtas’ etreugtn in the Convention was much tn- cressed by the number of Soutbern mea who expected to be nominated as Vice President oo his ticket. [a reply to this remark, Mr. Yancey \uformed us that the Vice Presidency had been tendered to bia if he would unite in the nomination of Mr. Douglas, He poke of the propost- tion with scorn. While we were conversing on the sub- ject, Mr, George Sanders, of New York,came ia. After some genera! conversation about the prospects of Douglas and of uniting the party on bim, Mr. Sanders urged Mr. Yancey to accept the offer that had been made him, and, asan inducement to accept it, assured Mr Yancey that Louglas must die within siz momchs after his inauguration, and that then Mr. Yancey would have the whole matier in has is is the substance of the conversation which oc- curred in my presence.

Now, if this does not prové that “politics make strange bed fellows,” we will give it up that honest John Tyler and honest John Minor Botts never slept under the same blanket. It must also be conceded that, after resisting the tempting offer of Sanders, this terrible man Yancey is “ the greatest Roman of them all.” Bear in mind, brother Yancey, that in being elected Vice President with Douglas there is something better behind. ‘ Douglas must die within six months after bis inauguration.” Only think of that. Was there ever sucha flattering offer made toa fire-eater before? A campaign Douglas song was started some time ago, with some such chorus as this:— And must our Douglas die? And shall our las die? Then twice several hundred thousand mea Will know the reason why. But Sanders explains the reason. It all de- pended on Yancey; but as Yancey declined, the bargain falls to the ground, and there is no necessity for the death of Douglas. That song ought to be stopped, for with every reason to hope that Mr. Douglas will “still live,” though politically dead, why should these song singers be anticipating his funeral? Where is Sanders?
