The news is important. The Bank rate of discount had been advanced to four and a half per cent, and an additional advance was expected. A further severe fall in the stock of the two principal American railroad companies is reported. Altogether, the Onancial news indi- cates a crisis in monetary affairs, The cotton market was steady, while kreadstufls were dull. The accounts from the Continent present no new feature of importance. Our despatches from Washington announce the probability of a rupture of the Cabinet upon the secession question. The subject is discussed in to which our readers are our edite columns, referred. The jubilee, at Bpringfield, INinois, last night, in honor of the success of the republicans, was a brilliant aff Mr. Lincoln made a brief speech in response to the calls of the Wide Awakes, and Senator Trumbull spoke on national affairs. The speech of the Senator is given elsewhere in our columns, and as it isregarded as a semi-official exposition of the opinions of the President elect, it will doubtiess command all the attention it de- serves, The Farmers’ Bank, of Richmond, Va., sus pended specie payments yesterday, and it is likely that the other banks of the same city, as well ay those throughout the State, will follow suit. Charleston banks will shortly, it is be! suspend specie payments. The committee entrusted with the pur exchange met yesterday, at the Bank of Com- merce, at one o'clock, and made large offers for exchaage at the rate current this morning, without being able to obtain any large amounts. The amount asked for on produce bills was quite inconsiderable, and the details on bills of this class could not, of course, be arranged in time for the Persia, sailing at an early hour today. The com mittee will receive offers daily up to twelve o'clock, and retarn answers at two. The Mozart Hall Democratic General Committee met fast evening, and appointed to-morrow for holding primary elections for the seleetion of dele gates to the various nominating conventions for city officers. Meetings were held yesterday morning, after. boon and evening, at No. 93 Sixth avenue, to es- tablish a society of working men, with sufficient capital (composed of ten dollar shares) to enable them to purchase produce, &e., in the first mar. kets, and supply the same to members at first cost and for other purposes that would enable them to heap bread, low rents, and just wages.” ation and by-laws had been framed, and several resolutions submitted, some of which were adopted The Board of Supervisors met yesterday after noon, but transacted no business of importance. According to a report of the Comptroller there was a bal in the county treasury on the 1éth " anic committee appointed to investi gate as to the whereabouts of the city funds en- trusted to the City Chamberlain held an adj meeting yesterday; but as the City Ch put in no appearance to the summons of ¢ mittee, they adjourned till to-day, in hopes that pometbing will turn up to favor their designs. At the meeting of the Police Commissioners yes lerday the only business transacted was the resic nation of Sergeant Wintringham, of the Bighth precinct, which was received and accepted. In the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, William Mulligan, a person tolerably well known by reputation in this city, was placed on trial upon fan indictment charging him with assault and bat tery, with intent to kill policeman Oliver, by shoot- ing him. The alleged offence was committed in January last, and the circumstances of the affair were fully detailed in our columns at the time Among the witnesses examined yesterday were Oliver and John Morrissey, the pugilist. In the case of the people against Lindermuller, an action to recover the penalty incurred by vio Jating the Sanday law relative to theatrical exhibi tions, the jury yesterday, after being locked up all ight, rendered a verdict of guilty. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday John C. Adams, who was charged with highway rob. bery in stealing a gold watch and chain from D. Vebenfelder, on [the 6th of November, pleaded poilty to that offence, and was sentenced to feo years imprisoament ia the Btate prison, NEW YORK HERALD, ‘D, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER ai, 3 1869.

Freights were steady, while evgagements were to ® moderate extent Revolution in the Cabinet—The Existing Da rand Piain Course of the Presi. dent. It will be seen by our Washington corres- pondence that the Cabinet is on the verge of rupture, on the question of what the forth- coming message shall say regarding the seces- sion movement in the South In great eras like the present, when society itself is shaken to ita foundations by the throes of the public mind, Cabinets and councils are of little import. They break in pieces with the passions of partisans, and their frag- ments float down the current of time, leaving stateamen alone to breast the storm. We are glad to learn from our Washington correspon- dent that Mr. Buchanan is exhibiting more courage in this momentous crisis than he has done on some former occasions, or than was shown by his predecessor. Had poor Pierce re- sisted the course of Douglas in repealing the Mis- souri compromise line, and permitted his partisan Cabinet to break to pieces against the rock of a statesmanlike resolution on his part, we shonld never have arrived at the present dangerous moment in our public affairs. Again, when the plotted Lecompton constitution was sent to Washington, had Mr. Buchanan taken a firm stand and sent it back, letting his Cabinet go to pieces on the crisis, the present danger would also have been averted. Through irresolution the country has been brought into a condition of excitement in the public mind which threatens to break up the | confederacy and overwhelm with present ruin every interest in the North. as well as in the South. The claim by some of the Southern leaders, that the compact between the States is only a rope of sand, to be broken by any pass- ing whiff of the popular breath in a moment of inconsiderate excitement. and that the govern- ment ia no government except by the toleration of every agitator and demagogue, ix simply absurd. This idea bas become too pre valent, and is one of the great causes of | Our present evils. Its operation bas been more persistent in the North than ia the South. South | Carolina, it is true, once undertook to nullify a federal law in theory, but she never insisted upon its practice; while eight Northern States bave oullified the federal law regarding | fugitive slaves, by solemn enactments of their | governments, and they still keep nullification on their statute books, with penalties against | those who may oppose it practically. It is this evil which bas largely contributed to bring the confederation to the present crisis in its exiatence, and to lead the Southern peo ple, in self-defence, to appeal to the paramovat right of revolution. This right is possessed by every people. It ie the right whick has ut been ftaly. after if averted ty (he people ot teen centuries of foreign domination, » with the | the @pplaure of the whole world, and the formal ftanction of the goveramenta of England and France, When the publio opinion of any State demande revolution as the only relief from present or prospective evils, a remedy should be found, or, if this should be impossible, the right of revolution should be conceded to them. But before things are carried to this extreme step, which ia always fraught with danger, the government should exert all its powers of self-preservation, and all its wisdom, to eatablish the necesmary remedies for the evils existing or anticipated. Let the Prestdent, then, take strong grounds in his message against all oullificatioa, Nortb- een aa well aa Southern, and annihilate this foolish idea of peaceable secession, without seeking to obtain a remedy within the Union and within the scope of the constitution. Let him boldly fay bare the great cancers that are eating out the vitality of the federal authority and the confederacy; corruption in every de- partment of the government, and blind fana- ticiem, North and South, which i seeking to array in hostility to each other two different systems of society, between which there exists 8 vital harmony of interests, Reoognizing the evils of the times, and the sacred right of revolution, when called for by ao whole people, let bim point out to Coa gress the duty that lies defore it, the remedy it should seek, and recommend it to call a Convention of all the States, that it may apply the remedies necessary aud avoid the great danger of revolution. Let him go even farther than this, and, descending to one of the important details of sucha call, recommend that it determine that the delegates to such a Convention shall come directly and fresh from the people themselves, through popular elec- tion in each Congressional district. With these expositions and recommendations to Congresa, let him fearlessly announce his determination to preserve the integrity of the government confided to his charge, through the exercise of every power conferred upon him by the constitution. By so doing he will preeerve every State, North and South, from being forced into hasty action by ambitious agitators and demagogues, and defend the right of the whole people to seek and apply the remedy for pre- sent and future dangers, without the dangerous appeal to revolution. By so doing he will en- title himself to the gratitude of his fellow citi- zena, now and forever. And if any of his Ca- binet refuse to sustain him in this, let them go toa merited obloquy with the transitory pas- sions of the hour. Honseruysa ts Cistean ‘Pans, —When the Central Park was firet designed, we predicted that it would impart a wonderful stimulus to our cultivation of horeeflesh and our love for fine equipages, and already, before it is half completed, that prediction is verified every agreeable afternoon. There is no city in the world, perhaps, at the present time, that can make s better display of horses, whether we re- gard their fleetness or their symmetry of propor- tion, than New York. Ten years hence, when the drives on the Park are completed, this me- tropolis will excel the world in the number and quality of its horses and the splendor of its equipages. It is not uncommon to find from three to four thousand people driving over the Central Park in costly equipages of all shapes in one day at this delightful autumnal seagon, and as many as four hundred finely mounted equestrians of both sexes. Every quality ofanimal, from the showy and steady roadster to the fastest blood horse, can be seen there, and every build of vehicle, from the sulkey to the dashing four-in hand carriage. It would not be too much to say that the cash value of one day's turnout in the Park and on Bloomingdale road, both in animals and equi- pages, is not far from a quarter of « million of dollars. Every class of society, too—inoneyed society, we mean—is represented there: for to have money and not own fast horses in these days isto be nobody. Commodores, lawyers, edi tors, importers, butchers, shipping merchants, bakers, hotel keepers, bankers, politicians and aldermen sweep the drives of the Central Park every afternoon with their fast teams, whose value rangee from two thousand to twelve thoweand dollars; and the other and fairer halves of all these individuals are very often to be seen handling the reins as skilfully as their lords and masters. This augurs well for the taste of the upper crust of society, and prom- ises fairly for the cultivation of that most desira. ble and bealthy exercise, borse riding.“ The price in the purchase of a horse seems to be no matter of consideration with our horse fanciers: #0 that the animal be swift and weil blooded, aad oan outrun his neighbor, money is no object. The turf bas been largely put under contribu- tion for fast horses, and now many an animal that made an enviable reputation upon the course can be seen showing his mettle in the Central Park before some private equipage. By-and-by, if the country is preserved from the disasters of political revolution, and a panic does not impoverish all our fast men, New York will be quoted all over the world for its supremacy in splendid horses and magaifoent equipages. A Hivt to Brant aso Courany.—We notice that = special committee of the Board of Aldermen, headed by the incor- ruptible Brady, and tailed by the im- mortal Boole, are after the City Chamber- lain with a very sharp stick. They demand from that official a complete account of the operations of his department, and are referred by him to the Comptrofler. We cannot find terms sufficiently enthusiastic for the expres- sion of our admiration at the zeal displayed by Boole, Brady & Co. in the public service, and we begin to hope that they will before long condescend to give nsthe items of that cele brated Japanese bill. It will be all the worse for B, B. & Co. if they put this thing off till after election. Now is the accepted time.

Some of the black republican papers here insisted, in the face of a positive denia! from the Duke of Newonatle, that the Prince had been insulted by the “white trash,” as they delicately termed the people of Rich. mond, This statement was eagerly snapped up by the London Times and made the text for a very long and exceedingly savage attack upon the South and its institutions. The Tires declared, in substance, that the holding of slavee made a mon, of necessity, a barbarian, and that the people of Virginia were no better than'so many Kafirs or Camanobes. All this was written after the New Yorx Harato, con- taining Newcastle’s contradiction of the Rich- mond rumors, had been received in England; wud therefore it is fair to presume that the London Ties was guilty of intentional misre- presentation of facts, in order to get an op- portunlt7 to abuse the Southern people. Perhaps we could not expect arythiag Letter from the London Times—a journal which, either througtignorance or stupidity, or malice, or all three combined, almost always treats us unfairly; but we find that the Thunderer was not alone in this matter. The false and libellous reports as to the Prince’s reception at Rich- mond emanated from correspondents of New York journals, and while one of them remained at Baltimore, the other was concealed in ox ont of the way corner of Richmond, and saw none of the evente which he attempted to describe, The Hrnary bad several correspondents at Ltichmond, and we need hardly say that while the Prince was in public view our atiachés never lost sight of him, As tbe Duke of Newcastle knew of no dis- courtesy towards the Prince, and as our report- ers neither saw nor heard anything of the kind the stories which the London Times picked up muat have been coined by the black republi can journals for party purposes. Thus the fair fame of Richmond, and, indeed, of the whole South, is sullied in the eyes of all Europe, in order to make a little abolition capital for the philosophers of Spruce street and the saints of Exeter Hall. The people of Richmond, however, have come to the conclusion that this falsehood has travelled long enough and far enough, aad the committee which received the Prince bas issued a manifesto, which wili be found else- where in this paper, and which gives the facts in the case exactly as they have been hereto- fore stated by us. Now, we call on the editors of the New York Times and Tiibune, and upon the London Times, if they have any perception of fair play left, to print this statement of the Richmond Committee. They have maligned that city and the glorious old Commonwealth of which it is the capital, without any cause whatacever, and itis their bounden duty to state the real facts in the case, however humiliating they may be to the libellers. Asto the London Times and other British journals which are fond of preaching and snoufiing about the recklessness (as they call it) of American journalism, we ad- vise them to remove the very large beams from their own eyes before they attempt to pluck the mote from their neighbor's. We are not given to boasting, and now we only state the simple trath in our own defence, that every day brings ont some new developement calcu- lated to enbance the value and affirm the cor- rectness of the Henatn’s reports of the Prince of Wales’ visit. At the same time the blunders and errors, both of omission and commission, of the London Times correspondent, are plenty as blackberries in their season. And nally, we ask once more, what action do our cotem- poraries, at home and abroad, intend to take about this Richmond business? It oannot be poesible that they are so mean as to pass it by in silence Suocxiye Eryecrs or Evanoeuicat Jooryat- sm Lvox Tas News Manxet.—One of our reli- gions cotemporaries, established some time since upon a purely evangelical basis, but which has already, by its evident signs of backsliding, caused many worthy people to come to grief, indulges in a special corres- pondent at Charleston who sends the following unique despatch :— A meeting _ = A ae at — Wharf, topearel ‘nown Bert the Columbia, metio cane, om bis ar. rival, with a gold oa maving In the same column we are astonished with the following, also a “ special” John Forsyth,” as we all know, is a terrible fellow. Next to General Quattlebum, of im- mortal memory, the editor of the Mobile Reyis- ter ig the mightiest man of battle in the South. This is not the first time, however, that the Hon. John has sounded his own trumpet; yea, verily, right lustily has he blown it on several occasions. Our readers will recollect that, once upon a time. the Hon. John purposed to raise, arm and equip one hundred thousand men for the invasion of Mexico. Why he didn’t do it is still a mystery; probably that eternal question of money, which interferes with so many laudable and patriotic enterprises, might have bothered the Hon. Joha. He should hare retained that hundred thousand dollars worth of church plate which was left in the United States Legation at the city of Mexico, when he received his passports. However, the Mexi- cans may now rest quietly in their beds. The Hon. Jobn has business nearer home, and will not at present trouble the occupants of the halls of the Montezumas. He has “ issued an order,” the Hon. John has, “ for the enrollment of eight thousand men, to be placed under his command (mark that) for the defence of the State.” Where's the Governor of Alabama? Where are the militia generals, colonels, cap- tains and so on’ Nowhere. Where is the Hon. Jobn Forsyth® Everywhere. It is very shocking. this news, and the more so because we fiad it ina journal witha mis. sion of peace and good will to all men, gam blers included.

Ma. Layosav's Commerctas Misston—Exrost- tion or Hus Views Berore THe CuAMBEr oF Cosmnrce.—In another column will be found a report of Mr. Lindsay's speech, in explanation of the objects of his mission, before the Cham- ber of Commerce yesterday. The points which he proposes to have carried out by a conven- tion between the two governments may be thus briefly stated:—The same rule of the road for vessels meeting at sea, and the same sys- tem of lights or marine signals to be adopted by both countries. Reciprocal jurisdictioa over offences committed on the high seas. Disputes between masters and crews to be heard, tried and dealt with in a summary way by the courta of either country where the ebip at the time may be. Magistrates in both countries to have power to arrest and send back to their ships deserting seamen, and in case of refusal to inflict such punishment as the local laws would have awarded for such offence. The two governments to extend to shipowners the privi- lege ef shipping crews for their vessels in their respective ports on the eame conditions as the crews of British vessels are now engaged upon, shipping offices to be established for car- trying out this clause in all the principal ports of the Union. In regard to the coasting trade proper, Mr, Lindsay admitted that, with the exception of the Western States, there was a pretty general feel- ing on the part of the people and the press against opening it to British commerce. As to the Iske trade, he says that at almost every place that he visited the parties in- terested confessed that the increase of the trafic was so rapid that necessity would soon compel them to remove all barriers, and in regard to the trade between the Eastern and Western ports of the United States, he did not find a single intelligent man who did not frankly own that the trade between India and England was as much a coasting trade as the trade between New York and California. The honorable gentleman added that the President and his Cabinet regarded the settlement of the rule of the road and lights at sea as complete; but on the other points he did not state how far they concurred with him. It may safely be assumed, however, that in respect to the coast- ing trade there is but little accordance in their views. He did not succeed in eliciting any expression of opinion from the Chamber of Commerce, aa it contented itself with simply passing a vote of thanks to him for his efforts. Mr. Lindsay sails to-day for Europe, carry- ing with him the good wishes and cordial es- teem of all those with whom he has come in contact since his arrival in this country. Although he may not succeed in accomplishing all that he has proposed to himself by his visit here, we doubt not that his exertions will be productive of important benefits to the maritime interests of both countries. Tax Suxpay Taratre Case—A Cosvicrioy.— ‘The jury in the case of Lindermuller, charged with giving a theatrical performance on Sunday, brought in a verdict of guilty yesterday mora- ing, after a deliberation of nearly twelve hours: The facts alleged in the indictment having been proven as to the character of the performance, the question of course rested upon the constiiu- tionality of the Sunday law, and from the charge of the Judge there could be little doubt that its constitutionality was mot questioned by the Court. This, we believe, is the first convic- tion obtained under the puritanical law of the Sabbatarians upon this charge, and it will pro- bably have the effect ofshutting up those places of amusement which so many of our German citizens were accustomed to resort to for recrea. tion, after the manner of the fatherland. ‘The cage will very likely be taken on appeal to a higher tribunal; and in this connection it may be remarked that Judge Hoffman, of the Superior Court, decided the Sunday law to be constitutional in the case of Hoym « Harman, proprietors of the Stadt theatre, when brought before him on demurrer on Monday, the charge in that case being precisely the same as that upon which Lindermuller was convicted. So much for the despotic legislation of the last pure and pious assembly of lawmakers at Albany. Wrre Potsostse ww New Jenser.—It has been frequently observed that the commission of one aotorious crime, even when summary punishment follows it, is generally succeeded by other crimes of the same class; and this seems peculiarly the case with regard to wife poisoning in New Jersey. The remarkable trial and execution of the Rev. Mr. Harden are fresh in the public mind, and now we have another case of the same kind in the mysterious death of Mrs. Absom at Communipaw, which the Co- roner’s jury pronounced on Monday to have been brought about by her husband. While commenting upon the frequency of this kind of crime in our neighbor State, however, it would be unfair not to give the juries and authorities there the credit of promptly ferreting out the truth, and bringing the criminals to justice. In this respect they set an example to the au- thorities of this city which it would be no barm to follow. Pacone Teumorarn —We understand that Mr. FB. Wade, Director of the Western Union Telegraph Company, will go out in to days steamer for San Francisco, for the purpose of maxing arrangements for building the Cal!/or- bia end of the Pacific Telegraph live. ‘Two agents have already started across the Plains, by dierent routes, for the purpose of more thorougb!y sur- ‘veying them, and of meeting Mr. Wade in San Francisco, ‘when the route whieh the wires are to take will be finally determned upou.

(Ap- Placse ) Yot ta ali our rejoicings let us nolther express nor cherish any bard feelings towards any citisen whe by his vote hes differed with us, (Loud shecring.» Tet us at all times remember that all Amert- oan citizens are brothers of ® common ooum- try, and should dwell together im the bonds (of fraternal feeling. (Immense applause.p Let me again beg you to accept my thanks, and to oa- cuse me from further speaking at this time, ‘The speech called forth most unbounded enthusiasm nd numerous crics of “Go on,” “That's right," &@, As the conclusion cheers were given for Mr. Lincola, Mra Linoula, Governor Yates, &. The crowd thea adjuurned to the Wigwam. The Wigwam was thronged the whole evening. alter the procession terminated {ts march, speeches were made by BR. Yates (Governor eicct), Senator Trumbull, aa@ others ‘Mr. Trumbuil’s speech, tn view of his high position and woil known relations to the’President elect, i taken ase redex of the views of Mr. Lincoln. Henoe {tis the more important. The immense spplaute with which Mr, Trumbull was received having subsided, he said:— SPEECH OF SENATOR TRUMBULL. It te meet that republicans should make merry aad be glad, for the spirit of liberty, which with our rulers wes dead, is alive again, and the constitution ordained te wecure its bicesings, which was lost sight of, is found. Mr. Trumbull then branched off into a vein of State glert- ication, the republicans of Illinois baving not oniy ee- vated one. of thelr citizens to the Presidency, but have elected an entire State government, and secured thereby a United States Senator—the re-ciection of Mr. Trumbull. Upon national topics Senator Trumball discountonanced the {dea of triumphing over political op- ponents, accepting all,by whatever name called, a brethren of a common country. He said Mr. Linooia, al- ‘Uhough the caualdate of the republican party, aa Chiet Magistrate will neither belong to that or any other party- when inaugurated, He will be the Presideat of the coun- try, and of the whole country; and I doubt not will beas ready to defend and protect the State in which he has nos rece!ved a solttary vote against any encroachment upon tts constitutional rights, as the one In which he has received the largest majority. While they by whose yotes he hae as, mM any of the States, They know that the foderet government is one of delegated powers; that can co nothing except the authority for the sot can be found in the inatrament which created {t; that all powers not couferred are reserved to the States or the people of the States, Hence when their politigal opponents have charged them with abolitionism, OF aitributed to them a desiro to interfere with slavery im the States, or some fanatic has {asisted they ought to do 00, the reply bas invariabiy been that the peopte, who made the federal government, did not think pre- per to confer om i$ such authority; and w nas, therefore, mo more right to meddle with slavery in a Sate than i has to interfere with serfdom in Rusia, Nor are the people of the non alayeholding States to any way responsible for slavery in the States which tolerate it, because as to that question they are as foreign from each other as independeat governments, 4 have labored jn and for the republican organization with entire confidence, that whenever it should be in power each and all of the States would be left in as complete control of their own affairs respectively, and at as per- fect Liberty to choose and employ their own means of protecting property and preserving peace and order with- \p their respective limits, as they bave ever been under deen so long and #0 persistently misrepresented, is now to be brought to & practical test and placed beyond the Powibility of doubt. It should be a matter of rejoicing to all true republicans that they wili now have a2 opportunity of demonstrating to thetr political adver- ‘saries and to the world that they are mot for interfering wi del Smee aay ie Seba Se advocates of :egro equality, or of amalgamation, with which political demagogues have so cause against & common enemy, will be restored. Dis- unjonists, per se, of whom uafortunately there has been « few in the country for some years, unferstand this, and are now in hot haste to g@ out of the Union, precisely be- cauec they perceive they cannot much longer maintain an apprehension among the Southern people that their homes, and firesides, and lives, are to be endangered by ‘the action of the federal government. With euch “now or pever”’ is the maxim: henoe they seek to infame the pobl.c mind by migrepucsenting the objects and purposes: of the republican party, with the hope of precipitating some of the Southern States into positions from whieh they cagnot without dishonor afterwards recede, well wowing if they delay til) after the new administration te \ngogurated and tested it will farnish no caase for their complaints, Secession is an impracticability, or rather no way for the ditslution of the government.
