Hayne, the South Carolina Commissioner, after conference with the secessionists at the capital, No. 17 | duction, Charles T, McClenachan was re-slected Clerk of the Board, and a number of papers from the Aldermen were referred to the respective commitiees when appointed. Atthe meeting of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction yesterday, the usual statistical re- turns were presented. There are now in the public institutions 8,777 persons—an increase of 241 over the past week, 465 in excess of the number for the corresponding period of 1860, and 850 over 1869, Last week 1,904 were admitted, and a very large unmber of persons are receiving outdoor relief. ‘This statement indicates the dreadfal destitution which prevails in consequence of the general pros- tration of business.

Coroner Schirmer received an anonymous com- munication yesterday in relation to the late mysterious murder in the Bowery, which it is hoped will eventually lead to the detection of | the assassin. It is the request of the Coroner that the writer of the communication should call upon him, and explain matters at length. The in- quest will be resumed this afternoon at three o'clock, at the Seventeenth precinct station house. Rarey gave his fifth lecture last evening to an audience as large as ever. Flora Temple made her first appearance upon the stage, and a genuinely vicious horse afforded a rare exhibition. A picturesque report will be found elsewhere.

Upon the test and with the result indicated in New Hampshire, it is morally certain that « similar response would follow the same appeal to the people of Connecticut and Rhode Island The pressure of this fearful crisis of suspense and suspension, of political derangements and business disasters, bas brought the people of New England to some appreciation of the cash value of the Union, and of the South under our general government. We therefore conclude that after another month or two of this crisis they will be in a proper frame of mind to abandon their impracticable doctrines of “ hu- man freedom ” and negro philanthropy, for the sake of that rich Southern market for their more substantial “ Yankee notions,” which will be lost with the separation of the South from the Union. We have appealed to the President elect. and to his appointed Premier, to.come forward to the rescue of the country, They have re- sponded in vague and indefinite promises of conciliation, and in dark and ominous hints of coercion, in which we find very little of hope or encouragement. We have appealed to Con- gress, and both houses of Congress have practi- cally confessed their inability to grasp or to understand the causes, the tendencies or the dangers of this novel, startling and incompre- hensible Southern revolution. We have ap- pealed to the State authorities of the grea central States of New York and Pennsylvania to call in each a State Convention in behalf of the Union, and the only response we hear is the “enforcement of the laws.” Meantime, the strong opposing currents of Union and dis- union are approuching each other, and how are we to turn them aside into the channels of NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY, 13,1861. ‘Tse Present Conpirion or THx CounTRY THE Worx or Tue Pouiricians.—It is a sorry sight to sce this great nation going to pieces after eighty years of upexampled prosperity, and at a time, too, when all the material elements of continued success, wealth, power and greatness ure present to a degree that no other country 08 the face of the earth ever possessed at any one period in the history of nations. And this tight ix all the more deplorable when we con- sider the miserable influences and agencies which are bringing about this terrible calami- ty; for it is not the people who decree the ruin of the republic; it is being destroyed against their will; yet they are not permitted to raise a voice or an arm initsdefence. Two to one of the voters of the country are in favor of the Union and the constitution, and against sectional par- ties and fanatical abstractions. Who, then, are the duthors of all the misvhief which is precipi- tating the country into utter ruint The politi- cians of the North and the South—a set of irre- sponsible men, without stake in the country, with nothing to lose by its disruption, without property and without credit. These are the men, who, with a few exceptions, are nothing but mere adventurers, that comprise the class ot politicians in both sections of the country. There are perhaps a thousand or so of them in Congress and other places of trust North and South, and they are backed by a few thousand more outside of official stations; yet this hand- ful of adventurers are leading over thirty mil- lions of people to the brink of an abyss in which all the interests of the nation, the pros- perity of years, the very life of the republic it- self, are about to be engulfed. It is this thirty millions of people whe, by their labor and industry, have made the coun- try prosperous and great, not the few thousand politicians.

That musket to which he alluded in 1856, and the mahogany stock pistols used in his grand affair with Duff Green, must be got ready for the emer- gency. Unless the Chevalier Webb keepscool, he must put himself upon a war footing at once. As be and Wise are spoiling for a fight, why not let them take it out between them? FasnionaBLes Movements—Tus Orera.—in spite of the wars and rumors of wars about us, the fashionable world is indulging in the gayeties usual at this season of the year, public amusements are well patronized, and the people of the metropolis, in which general are included the Jersey City, have made up their minds to The Brooklyn opera goers have opened their new theatre under fayorable auspices, and have subscribed very liberally for an Opera season of six nights, al- ternating with the performances in Irving place, where the artists’ campaign will be com- menced on next Monday night. Brooklyn is so near to us and so inseparably connected with us that it may be properly claimed as a part of this city, and its Opera House as a sort of sub- lieutenant to our Academy of Music. From ail appearances the associated artists, under the capable direction of Muzio, will succeed. Among other attractions, they purpose to bring out Verdi’s latest work, which conclades with a grand scene representing a masquerade ball, from whicb the opera takes its title. Ladies and gentlemen unconnected with the theatre, but in fancy costume, will join in this scene, suburban cities, take things easily. ® gnificance for themselves, and more ordinary ons psec con, ia doubtful. keoking representatives Of Inditna 5 Sylvania, the two States that pretend to remem towards nominating and electing Mr. Lincoln than aay thts, have already caused trouble enough to the Presidsat elect by their impudent forwardness and dic‘atorial presumptions to square any claims for extra Sllowances they may possibly have. Their wrangles for place are disgusting to behold. It is eb- vious that they only want an intellectual nullity in their representation in the Cabinot, in order to be least inter- fered with in the appropriation and distribution of the subordinate spoils. It has been rumored about town for some days that Phe President elect is making the first draft of his Thanguraé Address. This report is, however, without any foundation in fact. The change the posture of public affairs is sew daily undergoing renders it necessary for him to put off the discharge of this important task to the latest pessibie moment.

In this the oppo- nents of Mr. Holt were defeated, and the nomina- tion will probably be confirmed to-day. In the House the debate on the crisis of the nation was continued by Messrs, Thomas, of Tennessee; Bickles, of New York; Ashley, of Ohio, and Perry, of Maine. The discussion will be closed to-day by Mr. Sherman, of Ohio. It would seem that the Alabama secessionists are not altogether harmonious. It is reported that they have telegraphed to their delegation in Congress not to reaign their places just yet, as the delegates to the State Convention from North Alabama hesitate to sign the ordinance of seces- Bion. Jas. E. Kerrigan, member of UOngress elect. and John A. Kennedy. Superintendent of Police, yesterday attended before the Grand Jury of the Circuit Court in order to testify in regard to any armament being fitted out for the Southern ports, like requisition of South Carolina, through Colo- nel Hayne, for the surrender of Fort Sumter, has concentrated the public attention upon the issue thus made up of peace or war. Antici- pating a bloody collision, which may summon the whole country to arms, we apprehend that our readers of all parties are thus brought to the opinion that prompt measures, calculated to avoid war, without sacrificing the honor or the prestige of the general government, are much more important now than any sectional movements, propositions or concessions for the salvation of the Union. Admitting the force of this opinion, but still entertaining the hope that war in the interim will be avoided, so as to leave the incoming ad- ministration free to make its election between conciliation and coercion, we have the whole field of the argument—peace oF war, couciiu- tion or coercion, Union or disunion—still open before us. Our republican cotemporaries ad- monish us that “the first question to be decided is whether we have a government or not.” They demand, too, that the rights and the in- county boards, the Mayor, Aldermen, Super- visors, the Police Commissioners and execu- tive officers of the departments. Some one branch of the government is perpetually at war with another; to-day itis the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen that are in controversy; then It fs the Supervisors and the Mayor. while the Le- gislature and the city are always engaged ina conflict of one kind or another. Meantime the finances are in jeopardy, the police establish- ment is wretchedly mismanaged, and the whole fabric of goverament is going to ruin. Where all this is to end it is not easy to see. All around us revolution is progressing, and the total destruction of the confederacy is threaten- ed. There is a probability that the country may be divided into two separate confedera- cies—tbat of the North and that of the South. Oe avprene @ varity MnY DE AVETIEds yor, viewing the condition of affairs in their present aspect, one hardly knows where to look for hope or aid to guide us out of the difficulty. And if it must come to this—if we are to have two republics instead of one—in such an event There isno example on record of an ex-Cabi- net minister so utterly disgracing himself. Whatever may be the circumstances under which men quit office, it is a well understood obligation that they sball not violate the confi- dence reposed in them by their colleagues in thoir official intercanraa. Did no such under- standing exist, the conventional usages amongst gentlemen ought to have been sufficient to keep Mr. Floyd’s lips sealed on the subject of the communications that had passed between him, the President and General Scott in reference to the South. Nothing can justify their expo- sure to the world, though the matter disclosed is ef little consequence; and. it was the more unnecessary, seeing that no one expected or demanded such an infraction of ficial and social obli; ns at hia hand: is it turns ‘outs however, at thts independence of the observances prevailing amongat men of honor is nothing new with Governor Floyd. It is stated by one of our Washington corres- pondents that, whilst the Covode Committee was sitting, the ex-Secretary was in the habit of the probability that the South would be at best repre- sented by only two members, including Mr. Bates, in Mr. Lincotn’s ‘Cabinet. That its restriction to that number now appears to be all but certain may well be stated. This contingency would doubtless Ol the minds of many with grave apprehensions. But the cool observer of the course of Southern events will be apt ta acknowledge that, untess a great reaction takes place within the next four weeks, they will renuer such & complexion of the The present condition of Mr. Buchan- ‘an’s ministerial council foresbadows this. When he—the democratic President—the yielding friend of the South— fincis himself unable to retain more than the stated num. ber in his Cabinet, how can it be expected that his re publican successor will be able to secure the services of more representatives from the section of the country now arrayed in hostility against the federal government? The truth of the matter is, that as the disunion fever spreads, the possibility of Ouding suitable material is growing less, and that, in the face of Mr. Buchanan’ the risk of being unjustly charged with sectional preferences. Althougn the President has been enjoying much more ‘est and peace since the abandonment of bis daily levees than while they were in full blast, tis appearance plainly ndicates that an otium cum dignitate is not exactly the ching he ts now enjoying. The concerned expression of Cabinet inevitable. lantern may be able to keep to the top of his speed both night and day. It is now generally understood that Wm.

Our despatches and re- ports, in another colomn, will supply our readers with allthe information they may require from the Btate capital. The steamship Edinburg, from Liverpool on the 24, via Queenstown on the 3d inst., arrived at th port last evening, bringing $600,000 in specic. The news by this arrival has been anticipated by the Teutonia off Cape Race, but the details from our files are of some importance. It is rumored that a Russian fleet is to take the place of the French fleet in case the latter is with- drawn from Gaeta, and that as an earnest of this a Bnssian frigate has already arrived off Gaets and anchored alongside the French fleet. The steamship Canadian, from Liverpool! on the 3d, via Londonderry on the 4th inst., arrived at Portland yesterday afternoon. By this arrival we have particulars of the wreck of the Amercan ship Guttenberg, from New York for Hamburg, and the loss of twenty-three of the passengers and crew.
