an Intense and unnatural popular excitement.
Thereto an unconfirmed rumor that Vice President
Breckinridge 1? about to proceed to Booth Caro

of-Naples for annexation to Sardinia resulted in
1,102,499 in favor; and 9,371 against it. Austria
has announced that she will not abandon the sys

The Bake of Decares, one of the notabilities of the
first .Empire and the Restoration, died ia Paris on

We . learn from New Granada, by newspapers
from Carthegena, dated Ootober 17, that the Go

Company to proceed with their boate up the Meg
dalona' rly.or, and it wae hoped oommunloatiou

Asstrta persists In regarding her policy ms purely
defensive,Tend deolaros that In her military opera

We ksve received intelUgenee from Balt Luke
City, under date of the 20th ult, giving foil de
tails of Important matters in Utah Territory.
The principal topic or excitement current at the
tbno our correspondence waa written waa in re
gard to the approximating legal collision or con
flict of asthiprSty between Federal .Judge Oradle
bangb, of the Seoond Jodloial district, and Judge
Flontuken, whoelaima to be the regularly appoint
ed successor of the first-named gentleman. It
appears that Judge Cratllebeugh was appointed
to his present pcsition by the President for
tho term of four years, the period designated
by an act of Congress, and heaee he de
nies the,.authority of. the President to remove
him before the expiration of the prescribed term,
; unless for mtlfeasanee in office. The opponents of
Crndlebeughargne that the power of the President
!to appoint implies the power to remove an offioer,
hence they insist on the regularity of the appoint
ment of Judge Fleunikeii. This, conflict of author
ity at the present time is very embarrassing to the
Federal court business, as there area large number
of important oases pending in all the diatricte of
tho Territory which require speedy investigation.
Governor Gumming bis called an extra session of
the Legislature, whioh will take measures to adjust
the matter.
European Affairs.
Of course you recollect the proverb,
“ When rogues fall out, honest men get their
due.” Austria and Prussia have had a mis
understanding with Bnssia, at the Warsaw
Conference, and therefore Napomoh nar
rowly. escapes a great combination—a revival
of the “Holy Alliance”—which was to .hare
been made against him, then and there, Eng
land hot. objecting. We are. not going to
“ endorse” Natolxoh as an honeßtman, but
he is leiss of a rogue than his rivals, for be
does not Indulge in the bare-iaced hypocrisy
of pretending to bo better than hia neighbors.
The three Great Powers which met at War
saw had distinct and selfish motives—as mo
narchical institutions always muaf have.’
Prussia wants to become the leading Power
in Germany, Austria, wanta to maintain her
Imperial sway, and also to regainher personal
and family influence in Italy. Russia desires
to have an European ascendency, and there
fore went in, very strongly, ior a revision of
the Treaty of Paris, made at the close
of the’Crimean war. To use a familiar
phrase, the Czar came it a little too strong,
and the Begent of Prussia and the Empe
ror of Austria had to determine not to assent
to his proposals. Considering that three
contracting parties—Prance, England, and
Sardinia—were wholly unrepresented at War
saw, the idea of nullifying the Treaty of Paris
was preposterous. Hot being able to agree
upon a mutual line oi policy, the Czar, the
Begent, and the Austrian Emperor separated,
without coming to any arrangement—without
a single protocol having been drawn up. The
'illness of the Czar's mother, which was.
probably invented and telegraphed for the o.c
. casion, was the pretext for the breakingup of
the Conference.'
So, nothing has come of it.' Napolzoh
might-have been annoyed, had this Trinity of
Sovereigns agreed to combine against him.
Vision Ehmabcil might hare been put to a
non-pins.. Bnt matters remain in stain quo.
Austria now. announces, in a diplomatic
communication to Prance, that she means to
pnrsne a defensive policy, and nothing else, in
Italian affairs; that she adheres to non-inter
vention that she increases her military force
in Venetia, not to make but to repel attacks.
The Pope, acting npon sensible advice, has
resolved'not'to leave Rome. That is his
proper locality. There, with little interrup
tion, the Sovereign Pontiff of the . Catholic
faith, has bod supremacy, from the very com
mencement of Christianity. Whether as a
spiritual! or a temporal prince, or as both
combined, Rome lathe very best place for the
Pope. -
The Neapolitan Royalists are displaying a
great .deal'.of unexpected-courage. After
their yolturno defeat they again had the cou
rage to attack the Sardinians, and, though de
feated finally, fonght.with undoubted bravery.
The King of Naples appears to have re-,
treated on Gaeta, and the.. Sardinian fleet had
stormed that place. Bat the Preach fleet had
interfered,to,prevent snch foliy. Vicxon Eu
uintiin should recollect the thno-tried Span

“Forney’s Philadelphia Press—Who
Owns It?”
■We observe, from “ Cleveland’s” Washington
despateh of ysstorday, that Femey’s Philadelphia
Press has eome out with mu arUcle highly favor
able to Linooln, and manifests a disposition to give
hla Administration a oordial awpport, This was to
be expeeted. We have been iafonned, by. an au
thority iu which we place implloit etafidenoe, that
the paper irowned and eontrolled by several Re
fahUcan gentlemen in Philadelphia, and that Mr.
Orney ia paid so muoh a week for editing it, and
.giving to the aoneern the benefit and prestige
of his name: Through the whole Presidential
campaign jnst passed, it has been unmistakably
for Linooln, and against Dongles. Mr. Forney
himself was never a friend of the latter, although
his hostility to President Bnehanen threw him on
-the same side daring the Leeompton strngglo. In
bis heart he has always disliked him.
We return our thanks to the editors of the
Cincinnati (Ohio) Enquirer tor the loregoing
Important piece of information, which wo ex
tract from that journal of the 9th inst. The
article in The Press “highly favorable to
Lincoln,” to which the Enquirer refers,
was written in the temper that should animate
all men to seo any Administration of the
American Government honestly and patrioti
cally conducted. We have never known a
Democrat chosen to the Presidency who was
not anxious to secure the favorable opi
nion of his former adversaries. One of tho
pleasant recollections of 1866 is that
whioh recalls tho general manifestation of a
disposition to give the incoming Administra
tion of Mr. Buchanan a cordial support, on
the part of those who had jnst previously op
posed him. Bat to make our relations to Mr.
Lincoln’s Administration still clearor, (thongh
we hope not more offensive in the eyes of the
Enquirer ,) we beg to state additionally, that it
wonld give ns great pleasure to sustain him in
all his trials duriDg his Presidential term,
should he indicate a proper spirit in favor of
the Union of these States, in snpport of the
protection of American 1 industry, and in as
sisting to rescue the country from the perils
that snrronnd the slavery question, by refusing
Sfo sanction the intervention of Congress.
'’Go much for this part of the charge of tho
\irer. Now as to the ownership of The
Pre-ws There is not a dollar of Republican
there never has been a dollar of
Republican money—directly or indirectly—in
vested in The Fhess. We have never bor
rowed a dollar from a Republican. Not only
is The Pbess the property of tho editor whose
name stands at tho head, precisely where it
stood on tho first of Angnst, 1857 ; bnt when
it was established he had scarcely means
enough to purchase tho type npon which it
was printed. From that day down to the pre
sent hour, The Press has not received three
hundred dollars, in all, of advertising
or printing patronage from any Republican
State, city, or county Administration or or
ganization. It has got nothing from the Ad
ministration of Governor Packer, which it
has supported steadily from tho first ; for, with
all .his disposition to encourage The Press,
he had no patronage to bestow. Although
for years past, owing to the proscriptive and
dictatorial policy of the custom-house officers
in this vicinity, and tho arrogance of their
masters at Washington, The Press has
greatly assisted the Opposition by opposing
the Administration candidates in this city, it
has neither asked, nor has the Opposition
offered, (with one or two exceptions,) any of
their advertising to this journal.
The success of The Press results entirely
from the public favor with which it has been
received from the day it was started; and wo
are vain ono»gh to believe that the influence
it wields, and the circulation It has obtained,
is, in some part, tho fruit of tho industry and
the independence that have characterized its
management. The editor gives to it all his
time, and when absent in the discharge of
official dnties, never allows a day to pass with
ont contributing to it. In fhet, our oniy am
bition is to make a good newspaper.
As to the other charge, that The Press has
beon unmistakably for Lincoln and against
Douglas in the late canvass, that is so old a
story that it only deserves to be revamped in
the malignant columns of the Cincinnati En
quirer. We did not support Judge Douglas as
the Enquirer and other papers of that school
have supported him, by aiding to re-elect
notorious Lecomptenites to Congress, and
by supporting the Fnsion rickets in Penn
sylvania and New York, which looked to
the elocrion of Breckinridge. But, ac
cepting his platform as a pledge, through
all rime, of his determination to nphold tho
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, we opposed
all those who opposed it, and without be
coming his partisan, bavo, we think, contri
buted something to tho purification of the
Democracy in this quarter, by aiding to res
cue them from tho meretricious embraces of a
fusion with the Disonlonists, and all others
known to be adverse to our old-fashioned
creed.
' Wo do not profess to have boon controlled
by likes or dislikes in onr newspaper course.
If Hr. B cchanah had been faithful to his
pledges, common sense (and self-interest if
yon please) would have prompted us to forget
any personal animosities for the common
good, and, if we had been disposed to support
a personal friend—irrespective of all ideas of
right and wrong—it is probable we might havo
ranged ourselves under the banner of Johh C.
Beeckineidge, with whom, during a number
of years past, we have maintained the most in
timate and confidential relations. It is evident
that the Enqitirer desires a controversy with
The Pbess. We cannot accommodate it in
this respect, although we tender it a gratuitous
piece of advice : Assaults upon the motives of
men, and pure fabrications like the foregoing,
both entirely unprovoked, neither prepare the
way for harmony among individuals, nor for
concert among politicians. The Administration
leaders and papers in Pennsylvania, after three
years’ hard labor at the business, have finally
tired of attacking The Press, and wo are sorry
that a journal professing to be in the confidence
of Stephen A. Douglas should at this late
day attempt to imitate their calamitous ex
ample.
The “ Right” of Secession.
There is no subject upon which the real
patriots of this country—those whose names
all parties respect and venerate —those who
have won immortal fame, and whose deeds
Illuminate the brightest pages of our national
history—havo evinced a more marked uni
formity of opinion, and a more earnest feel
ing, than in regard to the preservation of the
Union intact and unbroken. There are no
models of American eloquence which ap
proach in fervor and sincerity the appeals
which have been made, not by one, but by
all, ! the really great national statesmen our
country has produced in fevorof the Union
and against the dangerous, heretical, and un
tenable doctrine of Secession. Washington,
Jetfebson, Madison, and Jackson wero the
authors of many great State paperß, but their
highest genius was displayed in defending and
.eulogiziEg the American Union. Clay,
Wkbstsb, Benton, Douglas, Oass, and a
host of other distinguished Senators have
made many effective speeches, but upon no
snbjocts wero their remarks so impressive as
those which related to the preservation of tho
General Government.
It iB a matter well calculated to excite pro
found astonishment that after the whole series
of questions involving tho naturo of onr
General Government—the manner in which
it was formed, and the righto reserved to tho
States and to their citizens—have been dis
cussed time and again, by men of tho first
ability, with direct reference to an issue iden
tical to that which Sonth Carolina is appa
rently determined to onforce upon the nation
now—and alter there has been on each occa
sion the most convincing and unanswerable
arguments elicited to justify the practical
overthrow of tho Secession doctrine which
has always occurred—it should again and
again he revived despite the overwhelming
array of , authority, of, argnmeift, of every
thing which men of sober judgment or of en
lightened patriotism are in honor bound to
respect, which is solemnly recorded against it.
Who, that reads Washington's Farewell
Address, or Maoison’s letters in regard to tho
conditions npoh which New York and Vir
ginia proposed to ratify tho Constitution, or
Jackson’s famous and ever-to-be-remembered
proclamation in reference to the Sonth Caro
lina nullification movement oi 1882, or Web.
stee’s speeches on the State-Rights theory
in 1880, or the speeches in Congress in 1850
in defence of the Compromise Measures of
that year, or such documents as tho letter of
Hon. HowiLL.CoSB, (written in 1851,) which
we publish'tiffs morning—can entertain a ra
tional doubt of the thoroughly revolutionary
character bf'the doctrine of Secession ? It
.has no basis In tho Constitution, and no solid
legal authority to sustain it.
. The American people cannot too highly esti
mate! the importance of preserving the unity
of tho Federal Government, even if anyone
or half a dozen States becomo seriously dis
satisfied with it. In the very nature of things
no association of a largebody of men, whether
It is social, religious, or political, can so ad
minister its affairs as to exactly please all
parties at all times. But the “ greatest good
of tho greatest number” must nevertheless
be maintained. If each individual State, in a
moment of pique or passion, can set the Gene,
ral Government at defiance, and by its owh
volition assume an entirely independent atti
tude, tho Constitution is scarcely worth moro
than tho paper upon which it is printed, and
the General Government, which has secured
for ns peace and unbounded prosperity at
home and respect abroad, is but a mere flimsy
structure which any boisterous galo may blow
Into oblivion, and thus sweep the United
States of America from tho list of nations.
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Letter from “ Occasional.”
t Correspondence of The Press. l
Washington, November 12,1800.
Whatever may be the Issue of the struggle now
goingon in tho South, the spectacle of thousands of
Southern men rallying under tho standard of thb
Union presents a eubjsot for national congratula
tion, and is an element out of whioh, hereafter, a
glorious Union party may bo oreated. It would do
yonr heart good to bear what somo of the ablest
and most influential Southern statesmen now say
in favor of the threatened Ropublio Deploring
the national peril, they seem to rejoico at the op
portunity this peril gives to them to exhibit their
self-saerifielng patriotism, ft la refreshing to turn
from the wild and illogloal rhapsodies of such men
as Ooleoek and McGrath, of South Garolioa, and
snob men as Toombs and Cobb, of Georgia—to the
calm, oonviDoing, and overwhelming appeals of tho
Sonles, the Folks, and tho Gardners. When this
is the oase in tho South, why should not the whole
people of the North, without exception, be rallied
on tho side of tho Union 1
It was had enough and degrading enough for
Northern polittotans to give aid and comfort to the
Disunion tiobet in the late election. It was mor
tifying to .all patriots to witness the omsado of the
effiee-bolders of Pennsylvania and certain of tbsir
misguided followers npon the only National Demo
cratic candidate In the field. Bntoan it be possible,
with tho frnits of these ill-judged and insane de
monstrations in snpport of the Seoession party in
the free Btatcs, spread out before alt eyes, that any
portion of oar Northorn people will follow tho
Cashings, tho O’Conors, the Tylors, and the Bakers
hereafter? Are wo to have a Secession and a
Disunion party in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
from this time forth ? Is tho test of Demooraoy
which has, in succession, been Leeompton, the
English bill, nnd then a war npon Judge Douglas,
to be extended into on endorsement by the Demo*
oratio masses of the dootrino that a sovereign State
may leave the Union whonever prejudice, or pas
sion, or revenge may prompt her ?
The fire-eaters of South Carolina and Georgia
have passed resolutions in favor of tho men whe
voted for Breohmridge and Lane in the free States,
dlreotly after they had denonneed tho Union aa
infamous and injurious to them, and deolared for
a separation from tho North, and for a destruction
of all our great Northern Interests, Is the Demo*
oratio organization in Pennsylvania and elsewhere
to ho controlled by mßn who, from having aided
tho Disnnionists to secede from tho National Demo*
oratio Convention, intend to eontinuo in sympathy
after these Dlsunlonlsts havo seceded from the Con
federacy? These are Inquiries that mast foroo
themselves upon the consideration of your people,
if they have any design or desire lo havo a Demo
oratio party horeaftor.
Frightful as the oonsequenees of secession will be
npon tho South, should tho plans of the oonsplralors
sucoeed, and heavily as thcae oonsequenees mast
fell upon the North and Northwest, there are cer.
tain reflections suggested by the present condition
of public affairs whioh deserve to bo pondered by
all patriots. If the ground is token that a Slate
may secede at will end pleasure—that Sonth Caro
lina mßy dismember (ho Union whonever hor in
terosts or her prejudices impel her so to do—and if
the plausible, pernicious theories of ChatlesJO’Oonor
and men of his eohool ate to he followed out to
their legitimate conclusions, what is to prevent tho
great oities of tho North and Northwest from cut
ting loose from tho rural or country distrio's?
“Paris is Franco,” nnd bcoauso “Paris is
Franco,” Louis Napoleon, holding, as he does, tho
heart of tho Empire in bis hands, oan storvo or
ornsh the people of tha distant provinces at bis
will. Nothing haß boon moro disonssed, and al
ternately moro complained of, then tho repeated
acts passed by tho Legislatures oi the several
States ia regard to the management and control
of tho great oittos In euoh States. One day it is
tho'Republlcang or Ibe Americans who denounce
the Democrats of tho intorlor oonntics for daring
to legislate for Philadelphia, New York, or Balti
more, and, as parties ohange, the next day we
hear tho Democrats upbraiding their political op
ponents for doing tho same thing. V/hen Balti
more was ovorrun by a mob. and good oitissns
wore shot down in tho streets, simply for tho oi.
pression of their political opinions, and When the
conservative sentiment wss Utterly paralyzed in
that city, tho people of tho Intorlor counties rose
in ihoir majesty, and tho Logislataro passed a
polioo law which gave ordor to Baltimore, and soon
rity to property and to life. And on more than
one oooaslon the Legislature of tho State of Penn
sylvania has Interposed for tho benofit of Philadel
phia.
Suppose, under the oasy theory of Sonth Caro
lina, the looal majorities of tho oities shonld de
olare themselves independent of the States, on the
gronnd that municipal rights had, boo'n Invaded,
and that powers wero exereised by tho representa
tives of tho peoplo of tho interior eonnties In do
rogation of these rights—or upon any other gronnd
—where wonld this confusion end ? Wo should be
at the meroy of a mob—a mob to day oomposod of
the hired bravos of one party and to-morrow of tho
paid Janizaries of the other party. There wonld
bo security neither for life nor property. No re
straint could be extended for oar protection, and
no sympathetic movement among our brethren of
the interior for tho amelioration of our oondition.
It shows the wisdom of our republican experiment,
and the wondorfnt prosoienco of those who framed
tho incomparable maohinory of the government of
tho States, that, up to this period, all classes havo
been benefited, and all interests protected—the
weak against tho strong, and the wealthy in their
rights— bo far os any human skill oan accomplish
such resnlts.
Look at Now York oily, however. She is tho
emporium of American oommoroe, and to ber is
awarded tho palm of superiority, because she re
ooiveß into her capacious harbors vessels from all
the nations of tho oartb, and is growing rich her
self from this almost incalculable trade. But Now
York is also tho scat of sympathy for seoesßion in
tho North. If there is a Disunion party anywhere
in the free States, it is in Now York city, and for
tho sinsplo roason that sho is all tho time lifting
her voico and extending her hands for tho money
and tho trado of the slave States. Her lawyers
and hor journalists havo oroated tho impression
that hor manufacturers and hor ’ mechanics, her
merchants and her jobbers—indood, every branob
of enterprise and of art —depend mainly for sub
sistence upon this clement. You have already
pointed out tho manner in whiob, before tho late
Presidential election, tho dootrino of sooession
was advocated ob right and praotioablo by Mr.
Charles O’Conor, and now, when tho Sonth is
preparing to out looso from the North, and adopt
ing measures preparatory to tho passage of a
non-intoroourso code, taxing Northern fabrics and
products, expelling Northern oitlzens and pro
hibiting the emigration of others, tho shrewd and
calculating finanolers and casuists of New York
oity will, if they choose, throw thomselves upon,
tho new-fangled idea that a Stato may seoodo from
the Union with Impunity, and that tho hand
or power shall not bo used to rostraln or to retain
hor.
Per if a State, why not a oity ? The great oity
of New York la at this moment prosperous under
the wire rules onaoted into a law by tho Republi
can State Legislature at Albany. To this legis
lation she was indebted for a peaceful elootion on
tho 6th of November. If tho polioo bad been in
the hands of one party alone, there is Itiilo doubt
that illegality and fraud would havo been followed
by riot and bloodshod. It was by organising
the polioo foroo under a fair and tolerant
commission that tranquillity reigned at the Presi
dential oleotion. Bat this legislation dlaploased
tho partisans, and was bitterly denounoed, and
is still deolalmed against as an invasion of mu
nicipal rights, and an insult to tho boastod in
dependence of the groat metropolis. Now, under
this provpoatlon, (if X may call it auoh,) and the
anxiety to retain and extend the trado of tho oity
of New York with tho Sonth, do not be surprised if
the Secession thoorista and metaphystoians in that
quarter should presently advise the ereotlon of
New York into an Independent or free oity, from
whioh, when the Union is broken up, slavers may
be fitted out to trade with tho ooast of Africa, and
obtain sympathy and comfort from the Sonthern
Confederacy, now in oourso of inoubatlon ! What
a splendid rnler of suoh a San Marino would my
excellent friend Fernando Wood bo! Bold, able,
adroit, wealthy and ambitious, bo would In faot bo
the monaroh of a community with a population as
great as two or three of tho Southern States, and
would hold in his bands patronage almost equal,
under tho new circumstances of the case, to that
distributed by tho President himself.
I have thus pointed out what may be regarded
as the natural and logical consequences of tho
Iheory of Secession, and I leave It to statesmen to
deliberate upon; expressing my amazement that
any newspaper in tho free States should not have
seen the question In this view long ego.
The telegraphlo despatch from the Olnoinnatl
Commercial, that Major Breckinridge has gone to
tho South to take the stump in favor of tho Union,
and against tho Seoedors, is not beliovod in Wash
ington. That the Yice President will refuse to ssno
tion the course of Toombs, Yanoey, & Co., I have
no doubt; but, until ho finds himself sustained by
the Administration hero, he will not oonsent to be
made a oat’s-paw for the President. Besides, it
would not be a vory graoions task for tho Vice Pre
sident to go.into tho cotton States to take ground
against those who have boon serving him, and io

[Correspondence of The Frets, l
Among the winning morion the Presidential oleo
tion, one of the most successful is Morrissey, the
pugilist. I,was conversing on Friday with an no*
quainUnoo. who stated that he acted as stake
holder of a bet between the brawny John and
another party to the amount of eight thousand dol
lars, and had only an hour before paid over to said
John that amount in good current money. As a
general thing thore was little hotting on the clco
tion. Forsons accustomed to wager, and who bet
to win, were unable to place anything to suit them.
Few were willing to bet against Lincoln, and none
against Morgan.
The gory Colonel “Dolly” Davenport had n
complimentary benefit at the New Bowery Thea
tre on Friday night, the success of which may be
inferred from the foot that there was $9OO m the
house. This, at twenty-five oents down stairs and
a shilling up, may tie considered fair. Adolphus
ole&red $6OO by the manoeuvre, which he promptly
handed over to his mother and sister, and this
morning left for New Orloans.
A dingy, mouldy-looking flag, carried in the
ranks of the Boston National Guard, as they
marohed up Broadway this morning, brought back
reminiscences of battles in Mexico. Tho flag was
presented to tho company Mexico, by Gonoral
Scott, for gallantry in many a hot contest, and
may well be priced by them as one of tho choicest
souvenirs of the war. A dotnohment of tho Eighth
Regiment are philandering them about ns I write.
Within a week a notable ohange has come over
'that class of money, speculators who deni in oom.-
meroial paper. Frightened by tho general scare
at the South and the preliminary movements for
secession ; alarmed at the rofusal of Southern mer
chants to meet their engagements; and in the
dark as to what oourso the banks of New York
will deoide upon pursuing, thoy havo simultane
ously booked squ&ro out of the market, buttoned
up their wallets, and settled themselves back to
await the maroh of events. The consequenco
is a pressure in Wall street, and the greatest diffi
culty in negotiating loans, evon on securities
hitherto deemed unexceptionable. In a conversa
tion held on Saturday with tho onshior of one of
our oldest and most opulent institutions, I was told
that they were contracting operations as rapidly
as possible consistently with the rights of their
oustomers, ,and declining to make any loanß on
demand.
' Money is to-day very close and hard. The
paper market is stringent, and good names axe
offering at lali per cent, per montn.
It is ourrently reported that the Bank of the
State of South Carolina has suspended. Tho bills
of the institution, £ understand, have been as
much distrusted among tho hanks of that city
as horo, ana Charleston monoy is now at a
large discount. Tho brokers of Wall stroet are
buying none, exeept at a discount of ten and
twenty por oent., and in small amounts only at
that.
The stock market suffered a farther important
fall to-day. The pressure to sell was very marked
throughout the entiro list, particularly in the rail
road shares, the sudden deolino of whioh hod de
stroyed margins, and brought contracts to an ab
rupt settlement*.
The Tribune and Evening Port havo already
oantered out a candidate for Speaker of the Legis
lature, in opposition to Littlejohn, and it is under
stood that the Albany Jsventng Journal goes
with them Their man is Luoius Robinson, of
Chemung, formerly on tho editorial staff of the
Evening Post, and at one time editor of tho Sun,
He is said to be a very good man ; bat Littlejohn
will “nevor give it up so.” Ho is ns olever a
strategist as Weed, and very strong with tho
lobby men, contractors, plunderers, and cridiron
ers generally. There is in the State and in the
Legislature a stiff force opposed to the domination
of Weed; and Littlejohn, of all othora, is the man
to oombine and mako it efficient. He was in Al
bany last week, but did not call upon Weed or the
Governor.
Tho first thing in the programme after tho open
ing of tho LcgiBiaturo is the re-eleotiou of 6oward
to the United States Senate. The talk about his
retiring was all bosh. He will take his creden
tials, and then be governed by oiroumstanoe*. He
has bo notion of being left out of .the Senate and
everything else: that’s.not his style *.
Captain Rynaers bollfgoront as he is iu matters
political, and terribly down on Sambo, nttends to
the business of bis effico with commendable assi
duity. He has nearly completed the oensus returns,
and tells ine that the footings will show a popula
tion in tho oily of New York of about eight hundred
and|fifty-fivo thousand. Including Brooklyn, Jer
sey City, Hoboken, and Staten Island , we'havo an
aggregate population of about one million ono hun
dred and twenty-five thousand.
Tho last legal recognition o’ Jim Crow Rice was
taken to-day in the turrogate’s Court. His pro
perty was smalt, and willed to his four daugbwns.
The will was admitted to probato.
The Evening Post must have its joke “ amidst
the ruins of tho Republic.” Thus: “ The Charles
ton Mercury says that South Carolina hss thrown
the toa overboard. The North has done more;
it has thrown the U. S. ahdT. overboard.”
The First Concert of the Season.— After a
long dearth cf really good hihslo, tVc nwahe to ft
hew sensation. The first concert of tho season
will be given at the Musical Fund Hell this evo
hing. True, we had but reeenily a spasmodic at
tempt at opera with the Patti branch of the Now
York divided company, under the Strnkosoh re
gime. Still later we had a glimpse of Colson,
Stigelli, and Formes, on the Piiaee of Wales’
night, but it was but a glimpse : “ They came like
shadows—so departed.” So oomes the long-pro
mised Inez Fabbri tho disappointed of many
managers. Bho makes her first appearance
at the Musical Fund Hall this evening, in
conjunction with Signor Stigelli and Carl
Formes. Of Madsmo Fabbri wo know nothing
except from Now York report. We are told
that she possesses one of tho finest soprano
voioes yet heard In this country, and ccrtes it is
that she aohieved most onviablo laurels In Gotham
as a lyrio tragedienne of the first ©lass; but wo
prefer to judge of her merits by hearing her, when
we shall render unto her the position she merits.
At any rate, great curiosity is evinced to bear Ma
dame Fabbri, of whom so much has {pan said
and written, and she may rely on a warm
teoeptioh. Signor StlgelU is favorably knova
to our opera-going community as a tenor singor
whom it is always a pleasure to hear, after
the gauchcrles of Brignoli—who lopes about the
stage as if ho had neither part nor parcel with the
mtse tn stem, and that singing his role was an
effort which ho was not eallod upon to exeroise, and
for whioh be was not paid. It is really refreshing
to meet with a sound, earnest artist, like Stigelli,
who loves his art, and does all that he possibly can
to advanoe it. This will be Mlgelll’s first ap
pearance in Amerioa as a oouoert singer, though
in Germany ho has long been celebrated as such,
thanks to the vitn and artistic skill ho displays
in Interpreting the German songs of his own com
position, many of whioh on their own morits havo
aohieved vast popularity, as, for examplo, “The
Brightest Eyes” and “ Tho Tear,” which will long
remain popular boudoir ballads. For Carl Formes
It is needless to say one word of commendation—
he is too well known, and too highly esteemed for
ns to sound his praises at this late hour. In addi
tion to other pieces, ho this evening sings Mozart's
grand aria from “II Flauto Magioo,” And Schu
bert’s famous song of “ Tho Wanderer”—enough.
Mr. Richard Mulder, a pianist, new to us, accom
panies tho party. Ho is said to be a fine artist.
Blondin at the Continental! —Last night,
the Continental Theatre was about as full &b pos
sible, a great orowd having been drawn by the
announcement that Mons. Blondin, “ late of Ni
agara,” (where he hod no Falls,) would exhibit
somo of his daring and skilful feats The per
formances which preceded Blondin’s wore very
good—particularly the horsemanship of a obild
oalled Elcze, character-riding by Charles Madi*
gan, and “La Peroho Equipoise,” by Mo
reste and P. Rlnoaido. Tho young lady’s
riding was needlessly interrupted and delayed
by several ponderous attempts on the part
of a Clown (W. H. Gardner) to he facetious.
A east-iron voice, a monotonous delivery, and
a repertoire of antiquated bad jokes, with a
few miserable modern attempts, ought to bo out of
fashion, in the ring, now-a-days. Half a dollar
would buy a good stock of roapectable jokos—or,
indeed, a sufficient quantity could be selected from
the book numbers of the Sunday papers.
Mons. Blondin’s performances, last night, wero
on the tight rope. He has grown stouter, but not
lees active, than when we last saw him—a few
years ago, with the Ravels, at Niblo’s Garden.
He showed wonderful alertness, self-oonfidenco,
boldness, and perpetual presence of mind. His
most surprising performance was a polka upon
stilts, alter whioh he walked down the rope, still
on tho stilts, from the stago to tho orohestra, and
back again. Ho seomed as muoh “ master of tho
position” without, as with tho balance-pole. In a
word, Blondin Is a wonderful performer, and will
draw immonso houses at the Continental while ho
remains, whioh will be all this week.

London Money Maiikf.t.— London, November 2.
—The Times ’ oity article, dated Thursday even
ing, suvb : The Bank Court to day mado no alter
ation in the rate of discount, but further with
drawals of gold continue. It is believed that an
upward movement must bo expected in the oourse
of a week or fortnight.
The news from China to-day is favorable to tho
genera! prospects of tho market, so that any rise
that may be adopted is not likely to be followed
by the necessity of further steps in the same di
rection. The Stock Exohange was dosed to-day.
The Paris Bourse was also dosed in consequence of
the festival of All Saints. Tho amount of gold
withdrawn from the Bank was £50,000.
China desp&tohes received yesterday via Trieste
state that an early submission was expected. The
settlement of silks amounted to 8,000 bales.
The publlo sales of tea yesterday went off in
most oases at previous rates.
Tho Times trusts that the de&patoh hadbrought
false news, and that Lord Elgin *s not going to
Pokin without an army, as that is exactly tho op
posite of what ho should do to obtain a permanent
peaoe
Nothing more is neoessary than that Pekin
should know that England has an arm long enough
to reaoh her and onastlso any breach of faith.
Bo long as the Emperor believes his capi
tal out of reaoh, so long will he oaro little
what treaties he may sign to remove any immedi
ate pressure. The Times hopes, therefore, that
the ambassadors, with the magnl&oent army whioh
they have at their oommand, will make their ap
pearance at Pekin, accompanied by a force suffi
cient to make suoh impression on the Imperial
mind as to render any Chinese expeditions unne
cessary for many years to come.
Tho Times was still without comment on French
Intervention at Gaeta, and tho Paris journals have
not yet adverted to the subjoot.
Gen. Klapka has protested against this opinion.
The Times considers that unless Borne unforeseen

Thomas (.ales Forster at Snnsom-
Street Hall.
THE REAS;KABLENESS or SPIRITUAL COMMtttfl*
Wo sketched, in brief, s; me weeks ago, a dis
course delivered nt Bnnsom-street Hall by Rev. Dr.
Pierpont On Monday evening wo mado notoa of a
second discourse, by tho celebrated Thomas Gales
Forster, ot Illinois, advertised as “cno of tho
moßt able and clcquent lcoturers of the age.”
This gentleman’s oratory and argument were
widely different from thoro of Dr. Pierpont. The
latter is known as a poet; the former, verbally, at
least, has higher poctio claims. The one labored
to idontify Spiritualism with the Bible ; the other,
as will be seen bolow, held that Christianity, as
popularly oxpotmdcd, was not in kooping with tho
doctrines ho advanced The oratory of Dr. Pier
pont was a ce/its of propositions bused upon
apalogy, plainly urged; thSt of Mr. Forster is of
a higher speculative oast, more individualised and
startling, but loss intelligible. Some portions of
his remarks on Monday evening were absolutely
meaningless, or, if meaning anything, so burdened
with the technicalities of his creed, and copious
Tfucat ion able, but beautiful, metaphors, that the
greatest attention could liot interpret them Such
phrases as ‘* matorio-spiritualistlo sheen,” “the
anatomy of spirit,” “ the apex of being in the
sphere of conformation,” “tbo propelling soul,”
eto., may or znay not be capablo of explanation.
They came upon us like successive dkoburges of
transcendental dictionaries, and provoked mingled
feelings of wonder and amusement.
We have no opinions as to the truth or falsity of
anr doctrine, and mead so dierospeot to Dr. Forster
or Spiritualism. The olcquenee of the lecturer was
of a fervent, impassioned oharaotef, vigorous be
yond parallel, never fluctuating in interest, and
replete with enthusiasm. Some of hid metaphors
were oxcoodingly singular. Thus, he stated that
death was to man “ the shining, white-winged
midwife of tho sky;” that “successive changes
were tho immutable footatops of the Almighty ar
chitect,” and that “ God was married in man to tho
universe of matter.”
Pr. Forster is, we boliovc, a trance-medium. He
alluded, on Monday eveptng, to the limited experi
ence of the auditors and bis own view, as “your
world and my own.’ ’ In person, Mr. Forster is very
stout. His oountonanco, atrepose, is not expressive
of enthusiasm. Upon oreduloue, or as he would
say. “ receptive” minds, tho influence of his glow
ing rhetoric Can scarcely be estimated; the stern
and skeptioal must acknowledge his fluency and 1
earnestness while deprecating his want of precision
and perspicuity. He gives way, at times, to tor
rents of metro, rivalling Brahma and Walt ’Whit
man in its fearful and wonderful construction
Withal, Mr. Forster is a man nt acquirements and
ability, whose labors have largely contributed to
the building up of his cause. He remains In town
two weeks.
Tho following is believed to be a summary of his
address upon tbe “Reasonablenessof Spiritual
ism
Every atom of man’s physical nature, commeneedthe
Icoturer, is of importance: his spiritual development
began with tbe physical. Certain received schools of
theology attempted to ignore the physical, and pro
claimed that the immortal blessedness of the ssulwns
to bo acquired by the luortifioation of the body. The
“ body of man stood at tho apex of being in tbe sphere
of confoimation it was intended to influence his fu
ture life, and was the Almighty’s idea of the best con
formation by which the spirit abiding in it might de
velop ltseir. The doctrine of man’s pnysioal depravity
was not philosophical; ever; faculty had its conseorated
functions. There watt great necessity for a physical
rclirion. Disease was the result of the suppression of
legitimate propensities; if bo, the soul was correspond*
ly injured in its outward manifestations, and a arced
was needed to inculcate a system of physical ethics,
While existing theologies were debating tho validity ol
rival dogmas, all Christendom was tending toward athe
ism and ninteiialism. Modern spiritualism ha-i done
more in ten years to arrest auoh tendency, throneh its
inouloniions of the soul’s immortality, than or the
30,000 pulpits of the land. Spiritualism regarded man as
a trinity, composed ol soul, mind, and body. The “ ex
ternal mind” was inferior to the propelling sou*, inas
much ns the former had of itself no vitality, but was in
fluenced even by the body, whereas the soul was immu
table, like God. Spiritualism was now engaged in de
monstrating that the scat of mind waB_ji£t located in
any one organ, as the brain, but coursing over tbe
whole liodj—“ even in the little finger,” the Jeoturer re
marked. Mind was a medium or agent through wlnoh
a propelling power communicated with the body. .
The speaker then, in a succession of demonstrations,
alluded to the mind as " an eleotro-mental ourrent,”
and the soul os a “ propelling power.” The law of
oksnye was applied to all atoms, huocessive changes
were tlio M immutable footsteps of the Almighty Archi
tect,” ihe body wan alternately liquified and solidi
fied Tho speaker then compared the Mississippi river
to the blood of man. Tbe propelling soul of man par
took of tho oharaoter of the great propelling soul of the
universe, and tho healthful condition of every mate
rial fibre was of the highest importance, m order that
there should be •* a suitable, channel for outward ex
pression of the internal real
From all that »ho lecturer could gather from the
world of tho audienoe and his own (spirit) world, he
would infer that tho influence of intoxicating drinks
was pernicious to the “ practical expression of the
divine in man.”. God lmd written his Boriptures all
over man's organism. The Spiritualist’s authority was
of a higher oharaoter than anyone book 5 it needed no
ecclesiastical interpretation, and had neither beginning
nor end. Re would.not graduate in learning the truth
for millions upon millions of years. Tho leoturer then
stated that the * mind was enveloped from the apex
of the ultimatum of the material in man,”—otherwise
the brain, ihe soul was the seed planted in man by
uod at the moment of conoep’ion. Alan was the only
living representative of God—the “embryo of the
angel worlds” in him God was married to the universe
ot matter,. Every movementof the arm was aspirithal
manifestation; anti all artificial forms, in government or
architecture or literature, were the realizations of
thought. The body, at present, restruns the expression
of soul; suoh would not be when the latter put on aoe
lestial body.
Mr. Forstor then made some glowiog remarks upon the
olaims of spintua ism; if it wan but a mere specuia
tion, was it not towering r It demonstrated that man
stood on a line between two worlds: he was the ohild of
one, tbe propheoy of the other. God was living in every
man; death was not extmotion. With a very oeantiful
figuro upon the sotting sun, and tho dying life, Mr. Fors- 1
ter concluded.
A Clergyman Charged with Passing
Fraudulent Money. Yesterday afternoon, a
oolored clorgjman, named Charles H femitb, had
a hearing before Alderman Beitler, oharged with
passing two $5 notes on a wild-cat bank of In

Louis Do Hann, of Second street, and had been
accompanied by that ololhior to tho gents’ furnish

he bought six shirts for, $9. He gave the notes in
question to Mr. Lowry, and received a dollar in
change. Tho shirts were given in o&re of Mr De
Hann, upon whom Mr 6mitn promised to call alter
a half hour and pay for the suit of clothes. He
never came bach, nut being rcoognized in Market
street Yesterday morning, ondeavored to esoape.
Constable Clark took him in charge. Smith
stated, at the hearing, that he had received the
notes ot a oanip-nieeting, in New York State, last
August, and that he had previously passed off seve
ral of them. He was said to be a Methodist
§ teacher of the Zoar Chnroh, Wilmington, and at
