A coroner's jury rendered a ver- dict stating that the bridge was an “insuflicient struc. ture.”” Intense excitement prevailed among the depositors in the Farmers’ and Cit.zens’ National Bank, of Brooklyn, yesterday on receipt of the information that the institu- tion bad been placed in the hands of a receiver. Heavy losses are experienced by this blow among tho mer. chants of Williamsburg. The doors of the building sealed yesterday, and no admittance was given to any of the numerous unfortunate ones who crowded about it demanding some redress. It is stated that the president of tho bank kept his knowledge of the notifi- cation received from the Treasury Department for neariy amonth from the directors, and the collapso was as sadden to thom as to the stockholders. No statement of the affairs of the bank has yet been put forth by the directors. The Merchants’ and Traders’ Bank, of Green- point, also suspended payment yesterday, as all its de- posits were in the hands of the defunct institution. Several of the banks sufered slight losses by this double failure, ‘An inquest was held on the body of John O'Flynn yesterday at Bellevue Hospital, and a verdict was ren- dored that he came to hs death from the edfects of a fracture of the skull produced by a blow from the fist of Wiiham McKenzie, who has been arrested, General Griffin bas assumed command at Now Orleans, and in hos initial order directs that all existing orders will remain ie force, ‘The Montreal riots have ceased and the town ts again quist, One man killed and thirty serious wounds from gunshots avd stones are the sam total of casualties on a Fough estimation, Several of the alleged rincleaders were discharged from custody by the court yesterday. jeton, an onl merchant, whose stores in Montreal were recently destroyed by fire, is reported to bave absconded, leaving bebind a deficiency of $43,000 on his Gonerai Sheridan srrived in Cairo yesterday, and started immediately by rail for St. Louis, no time being given for @ demonstration in Cairo, beyond fring « salute, ‘The population of San Francisco is now 190,000, an increase of 74,000 in seven years. ‘A dofauiting cashier in San Francisco recently ab- seconded tor China with $100,000 worth of ‘misappro- printed” fucds, The California election, it 1s claimed, was carried solely through the apathy of republicans, Some of the strong repudiican coun ies showed @ heavy faliing off in the vote polled, and oven went strongly democratic, M.

" ‘The Fenian Congress at Cleveland yesterday appointed 4 committee to confer with a commives from the Savage NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 1867, wing of the Brotherhood, on the petition of the laster to joim the Roberts party. The Indian Peace Commissioners were fired into by Indians near Fort Sully recently, while on board s steam- boat, No damage was sustained. General Rawlins, Chief of Grant’s staff, was at Salt Lake City on the 29¢b ult. Thurlow Weeed has replied to Colonel Hillyer. A Civil Rights case in Richmond has been compro- mised by the payment of $200 to the complainant, a colored map, who was put off a train after buying a first class ticket, ‘The stock market was variable yesterday, but at the close firm, Government securities were dull, Gold was strong and closed at 142% a 142%, Almost al! kinds of domestic produce were more ac- tive and higher, while imported merchandise was quiet but steady at former prices. Coffee was unchanged. Cotton wasdull and heavy. On ’Change, flour was active and 10c. a 15¢. higher, while wheat and corn advanced 2c, a 3c, under an active demand. Oats were froely disposed of at an advance of fully 1c, Pork advanced a trifle, Beef and lard were steady and firm. Naval stores were a shade better, Petroleum was held 3c. a 1c. higher, the market being active. Freighis were dull and nominal, Whiskey was unchanged, The Calife ia Election=The Star in the West. The bottom appears to have fallen out of the republican tub in the late California elec- tion. The loss of the Governor, Legislature, and two of the three members of Congress to which the State is entitled, by eight or ten thousand majority on the opposition side, over- coming to this extent a late republican ma- jority of twenty thousand, is something more than a sporadic case of party discords and general apathy. There was a split in the party on the Governor; and, a3 a consequence, a widespread feeling of dissatisfaction and in- differeuce among the rank and file; but all this is not sufficient to account for the general break down upon the Governor, Legislature and Congressmen. The general result signi- fies a general reaction upon larger issues than the petty personal squabbles in the party camp, given as the radical explanition of this defeat. What, then, are the causes to which this extra- ordinary republican disaster may be attributed, for it is a defeit which amounts to a disaster? It is plain to us that the causes lie in the dis- satisfaction of the California people with the radical excesses and demoralizing tendencies of the party in power. Negro suffrage and negro supremacy, Chinese suffrage and equality, the financial policy of Mr. Chase and its tendencies, and the general drift of the whole radical programme of national reconstruction to endless taxations and cor- ruptions, have done the business for the repub- lican party of California, This is the meaning of this California election; for it does not mean a revival of the copperhead democracy, nor an endorsement of the reconstruction policy of Andrew Johnson, nor anything of the kind. It marks the beginning of the dissolution of the republican party, as the splits and squab- bles in the old whig and democratic purties marked the beginning of their decline and downfall. It is the beginning of a permanent popular reaction, which will spread, and p:oba- bly in the coming autumn elections, from Sandy Hook to the Golien Gate of San Fran- cisco. In the progress of that popular move- ment against the administration of John Quincy Adams and the Adams party, when Maine was first carried by the Jackson party, she was set down as “ the Siar in the East;” so now, by the great body of the conservative Union masses of the country, casting about for a new national Union party equal to the de- mands of the crisis, Culifornia may be pro- claimed as “the Star in the West’’—the rising star which gives notice of the dawn of a new epoch, a new party, new measur’s and new men, adapted to the new requirements of the country, and the new dvparture which has be- come necessary in our domestic and foreign affairs. Most emphatically, however, do we regard this California election as a rebuke from the people against this mad and danger- ous radical scheme of universal negro suffrage and negro supremacy, and we may look for the same protest trom Pennsylvania and New York in October and November. Another National Bank Failure. Another of those rotten institutions called national banks has coilapsed. The Farmers’ and Citizens’ Bank of Brooklyn has followed a number of others, heretofore noticed, in swindling the public. Great numbers of farmers, market gardeners, mechanics and small tradtsmen had their deposits in this bank, their earnings and savings for years, and the means for paying their employés. Hun- dreds of poor working people will have to go unpaid and many be lvit without the means of getting bread, turouga this failure. It will be seen by our report in another part of the Heratp that there was great excitement in the Eastern Datrict of Brooklyn in con- sequence of so many people of the humbler class being victims; and well there might be. The poor people are deluded by those rotten institutions being called “national,” when, in fact, they are no more safe or sound than other private corpora- tions. Indeed, they are proving far less safe than the old banks. Congress has been guilty of a great wrong in creating these estaolish- ments, and in cheating the people into the belief that they are sound and reliable because they are invested with the name of national banks. They are a delusion and a swindle upon the public; and Congress, Chief Justice Chase—the founder of them—Mr. McCul.och and his Treasury Department, and all who estab- lished or support them, are gulity of deceiving the people. It will be well for the farmers, mechanics, tradesmen and the people g@neraliy, not to trust their deposits in the hands of these irresponsible and rotten institutions. They have the greatest temptations to speculation, extravagance and fraud, and with all the sup- port the Treasury Department and the Chase politicians can give them they are bound to fall. The people of this country will not tolerate long @ system so corrupt and dan- gerous. Oar Fashions Letter. In another part of this day’s Henao will be found a lively and most readable letter from the pen of our Fashions correspondent in Paris. The revolutions in the world of fashion are to many of our readers infinitely more im- portant than revolutions in the world of poli- tics, Until our New York ladies set ap a style of their own and be a model to themselves, it must still be our pleasant task to post them on the latest novelties in the great centre of fashion. For @ strange story about opals, for 8 description of the new “ death’s head robe” with its “garlands of tears,” as well os for all the latest styles, we commend our readers to our correspondent’s letter. -their disciples in the Old World, and the fol- A New Religion Wanted for the Nations. Man, it bas been said, isa religious an'mal. The history of the race warrants the definition. Since the days of Adam up to the present time we have not been without our gods many and our lords many; nor have any por- tions of the human famiiy ever been found in circumstances so degraded and brutal that it could be said of them they were without belicf in a higher and unseen Power. Strict obedience to the gods, or to the religious eys- tems which have been set up in their name, bas not always been a truthful predicate of the race, but religiosity in some shape or form has been an unfailing characteristic, The gods, we have said, have been nu- merous. We might add they have been as di- versified as they have been numerous, The gods of the early Hindoo mythology are as unlike the deities of Egypt as these are un- like the deities of the Greeks and the Romans; and the deities of the Greeks and the Romans have but little in confmon with the gods whose names have been preserved in the mythologies of Northern Europe. Nor has this diversity been limited by national boundaries only ; for the gods of one nation have not differed more from the gods of another nation than the gods of each separate nation have differed from one another. There is one impression which most men who have looked into the ancient mythologies find it difficult to resist, and that is that the gods are singularly like their worshippers and the worshippers are singularly like their gods. If it must be admilted that the gods exercised a powerful influence over the des- tiny of their mortal subj-cts, it is not to be de- nied that the subjects were largely influential in moulding the characters of their celestial chiefs. The influence, in fact, was mutual. There was debt on both sides, It might not be difficult, did time and inclination permit, to discover in the peculiar character of man him- self the true cause of this muitiplicity and diversity of the objects of his worship. For the present we content ourselves with noting the facts that there yas multiplicity, that there was diversity, and that the worshipped and the worshippers were, bating certain necessary peculiarities, singulariy like each other. What it is more important and more suited to our present purpose to notice is, that those diviniti‘s and the systems of religion with which they were identified had in turn their day of power, lived their thousand years or more or less, exercised while they lived an infiu- ence, not unmixed witn good and evil, and then fell back, as all old things must do, into the dim and shadowy past—mankind the while marcbing on to new and‘ nobler conditions, to the discovery at once of greater strength and of greater weakness, and ceasing not, thou zh he despised the divinitics that were, to lean on the strong arm of the Unseen and tze Eternal, who, he believed, moulded and controlled his destiny. In the beautiful mythology of Greece, in the scarcely less beautifal but more vigor- ous mythology of Rom», and in the sturdy mythology of the Scandinavian North, we dis- cover the influences which were giving tone and character to the races of Europe when Christianity caught them and launcaed them forth on their new and glorious career. Are we to come to the conclusion that, as all the old systems disappeared before Chris- tianity, Christianity itself must disappear betore something higher and nobler? Has Christianity done its best? Must it give place to a new and grander development of the religious princ:ple in man! Is the time to come when our posterity, living under a more periect system, shall look inio the Christian mythology and marvel at our faith and folly as we now marvel at the faith and folly of our ancestors? Strauss, Reian, Colenso, and lowers of such men as Theodore Parker and Ralpi Waldo Emerson in the New—for what else is it they are laboring? There is much in the present aspect of th.ngs fitied to create alarm. Never, at least since the Retormation, was the Christian system more vigorously and persis.ently aitacked. Never were missionary records so dull; never was «. ze more of form—never less of spirit. Religion is fashion- able—tuis in our large cities esp-cially is one of the main sources of the Churches’ strength. True relig.ous life, there isnone. The Churches which are’ most progressive have eliminated from their standards aimost all that is distinc- tive and valuable in tue Chiistian system. To be a Curistian and to enjoy Christian privileges it is no l.nger necessary to believe in the divine mission of Christ. Inspiration is so explained away that it has ceased to have any meaning. Among the different sec- tions of the Christian Church bond of union we find not; but jealousy and petty rivalry are everywhere. The Church of England, the largest and most powerful of all the Protestant denominations, is being torn in pieces by internal dissensions ; and the Pope has but recently been attempting to galvanize the Catholic Church into « little temporary vitality by grand spectacular demonstrations and wholesale canonizations. Verily, we are drifting somewhere—whither it is difficult to say. Thus much we shall venture to say: If man is to remain a religious animal, one of two things must follow; either Christianity must awake to newness of life, or take her place with the mythologies of a dead and buried past. We must have more Christian life, or a new religion. The Want of Nationality in the Theatre. but plays. We may be characteristic, vital, na- tional everywhere but in the theatre. We may originate, Invent, construct what we will, so that we leave the high lessons of tragedy to those fine moralists, the French, and have our comedy—the pictures of such manners as we have and the satire of such morals—done by some exuberant Briton, who has never been further than an omnibus ride from Charing Cross. It is admitied that we are great in all the larger facts of life. As shipbuilders and navigators we are without respectable rivalry on the planet. Our inventions in machinery are so many, and seme of them £0 silartling, that we may easily claim the character of the most original thinkers ever known. We can do something in the way of finance—as carry one great war and make a very presentable debt without « cent from John Bull. We can paint great pictures, write history, poetry, novels and all that, but we find the limit of our great abilities when brought face to face with the theatre. To that grand mystery we are unequal, at least so the managers s@y ; and hence for dramatic entortainme at we must om the cheeseparings of London and the crumbs of Paris, and drink the dribble even of Berlin. Not verz long ago there was a good little play performed in London—the production of an English author—picturing peculiar phases of English life. As the play went on a New York manager had the author by the button bole bargaining for a copy of the manuscript, and another New Yorker had stenographers busy in different parts of the house taking down the words of the different characters. It has no yet transpired whether there were not half a dozen more managers and actors equally busy in different ways—in the author’s trunk or his old breeches pocket—picking out and fitting together fragmentary parts of this wonderful play to make a perfect copy. As yet only two have presented it to the public. It is but fair to suppose the others will come on in time. But does it not seem a very ridiculous specta- cle that in a city like this we may go through year after year without a single decent dramatic picture of American life, and have 80 many men vieing with each other in the pre- sentation of every little play that may hit the fancy of the Londoners? We have actors and actresses of first rate ability. Native talent, or talent trained here, is better than any other on the stage; and why must we be content to laugh at London follies when we have so many of our own, Spirit iste on Their Muscle. * Many respectable persons have eaten good breakfasts jor a couple of days past, uncon- scious that the spiritualists were in session at Cleveland—just as formerly the world went round and the very cardinals did not know it. Such happy ignorance, however, could not last; and men must take note betimes that the spiritualists have met in convention, that they |° have duly considered their relations to society, and that they propose to fight. No figurative fighting either; no shadowy wrestling with an angel, in such unfixed localities as that where th» patriarch tugged the night through, and had a bad fall near daylight; no such imma- terial combat at all will satisfy these believers in spiritual power. They propose to use muscle ‘To prove their doctrines orthodox, With apostolic blows and knocks, well delivered on the breasts and sconces ofan unbeli-ving community. Their doctrines have been wrapped in mystery for years, butit is now intended that they shall be rapped into men with quite another sort of rapping than that which astonished all the old doors and ceil- ings and tables in the house near Rochester some years ago. Undoubtedly there will be a rapid change in public sentiment; for ifan eager apostle of this new faith comes at one with the arguments that McCoole so successfully applied to Aaron Jones, who but would choose to be- lieve rather than discuss? This new platform of tho spiritual Church was not without its op- poneats in the Convention. Indeed, it seems that a former convention had had enough pug noses in it to make it pugnacious, and had urged the propriety of opposing “ physical resistance to any attempt that might be made on the part of the Christian sects to encroach upon or suppress spiritual- ism ;” and a motion was made in the present Convention in deprecation of that proposal. This brought the fizhting men to their feet, and the consequence was that the former doctrine, with added emphasis, was shown to be the sense of this important body. TM natured people might draw from this plat- form of the believers that their appeal to the fish implies a failure .ot the spirit. It might be argued that before spiritualism begins to fixtten our noses, burst our checks cr inflict indiscriminate damage on our visual organs, it ought to exhaust all its legitimate means, as tipping our tables, especially when the dinner is on them ; rattling the wilderness of tin pans about the house, pirticularly when our tired eyelids are just shutting us in to that first sleep that ends a wearisome day. There might be much pros:lyting power in such events, ap- plisd to society at large; more, perhaps, than in delivering half a dozen “hot ones ” in what the poets of the P. R. variously designate a man’s “ potato trap,” his “ box of ivories” or his “guzzler.” We must, however, make allow- ance for the loss of patience on the part of men who find, after years of labor, that the world stubbornly will not believe, and want the sit- istuction of giving it a downright pounding. Itis to be remembered also, that all new reli- gions dare their greatness and their power from the time when the dreamers take back seats and t:e fighting men come forward. The world might hardly have heard of Mahomet—the epi- leptic husband of a rich widow—if certain of his adherents had not taken up the fighting programme. Who knows but the spirit mongers may have a history yet? All Humbus. We see by an evening paper that the Presi- dent has been congratulated on the result of the election in California, as if it were in some way a triumph for him or his policy. This is all nonsense. The President must not be misled by his sycophants and flatterers into the notion that this reiction against the radicals is in bis favor. blunders if he draws any encouragement from He will make the worst of all his the radical defeat on the Pacific.
