The E"ew York Musical RsvieTv For Sept. 28th is at hand, containing the u-ual amount and variety of new tmaic and reading matter. This paper 2ias acquired the leading position among' - ammeal journals, having now at least liwice a many subscribers as any other sau-ical periodical in the world. The publishers announce that back numbers of the Review are exhausted, and that they commence a new series with the Srst 'number in October, with which new sub- seruiers may commence.

Iii is only one dollar per annum. Ma- flos, Brothers, New York, are its pub lishers. Progress and Prejudice. De Witt and Davenport have sent us a new work, frceh from the proliOc pen ot Mrs. Gore, who, we are glad to say, lias many readers among us. It may ap pear strange that we should rejoice in the acocess of a mere novel writer, but being compelled to admit that the popular taste "ever runneth thitherward," it is merely matter of gratulatiou that works such as lUis and others of Mrs. Gore's productions are put ocioro tuein. wune there are every day published works from which the reader derives neither advantage or profit, it merely is wise in the press to cal attention to those which are calculated to - rr 1 rn n i yivMu uulu. j.u uj uovei rcaucrs weJ would simply say "If you must road novels, read good ones, and of those who claim that distinctive title we certainly know noue w hose pretensions are better fouuded than Mrs. Gore's, and of her works none certainly are equal to this, jicr latest production." Let the People Remember. That the Democratic State Central Com mittee have issued and scattered broad cast over this commonwealth, an address (i)fully sustaining the Nebraska swindle, and that it was issued by the knowledge and sanction of the Governor and it ap peared in his special organ thus making the issue direct upon this question, and dispelling all doubt or. cavil ou this point. IJj John Muscu, Esq., a citizen of this place, was found dead in his bed on Wednesday morning, a the residence of his son-in-law Mr. Robert Boys. Mr. M. rotired to bed at the usual hour ou Tues day evening, iu good health, -and was .found in the morning, as above ftatod. Agod 1S years and 2 days. Importation of Paupers ajid Convicts. The Commissioners of Emigration at New York, it is stated are directing their attention to the increasing emigration caused by the sending of inmates of Eu ropean prisons and pocT-houscs to this country. The Journal of Commerce says: "Within three months uot far from fifty persons, embracing several families, have arrived here, mostly from Baden, in Germany, and intimations have been re ceived that some of the German Govern mcnts propose adopting a more extended system of transportation. 'I he method of proceeding now adopted in Europe is to "rautp ardons to convicts on condition that they shall emigrate to the United States, and, as they experience little dif ficulty in obtaining pasports in Germany from the American Consuls, they easily elude detection on their arrival here. "Capt. Crabtree, vice president of the Board of Commissioners, has addressed the Department of State respecting the matter, requesting that the United States Consuls on the European continent, espec ially in Germany, should bo instructed to advise the New lork Commissioners of Emigration of the intended embarkation of persons of the class alluded to, giving names, description of the vessels, date of sailing. &c. Secretary Marcy replies by saying that the Department will cheerfully co-operate witu the authorities in New York by giving such instructions as will facilitate them in the enforcements of the police regulations of this city in respect to this class of emigrant?.' A Delicate Search. The St. Louis Herald states a case of a young lady of the most undoubted re spectability, who entered a shoe store in that city, and asked to be shown some gaiter boots; a number were shown to hei which she examined and tried on. While the attention of the storekeeper was oc cupied with another customer, several pairs of gaiters disappeared. The lady concluding not to purchase, he was com pelled to accuse her of secreting his shoes, she denied it, and he insisted and pro ceeded to search, and found several pairs suspended by books, which were attached ro the lady's garters, lie took from the hooks those belonging to him, and left there several others, which had no doubt been taken from other s-tores. She wa. ailowed to depart. The State of Connecticut is ont of debt, and has money loaned out at interest. School fund is valued at S2,07t",00!J, and productive property of the State is esti mated at 8100,000, the greater part o; Mttvbich is invested in bank stock. Eg?" B. W. Richmond writes a letter to the Tribune to say that a great change is going on in the atmosphere which will re sult in a period of terrible and universal disease. But for the drouth of the sum mer he says America would be one vast hospital. The numerous earthquakes of the past year in Asia and America are a proof of this great atmospheric change. Our present drouth is to be folio wed by a succession of long and severe winter and wet and cold summers. Disease a mong all classes of animals will be gene ral, and during the seasons to come lor some years we moy look for more sick ness among the human race. The farm er should give all heed to the care of his stock, feed should be ground and cut and cattle carefully housed to prevent chil! and save food. Greater care than usual should be used in the cities to prepare and preserve healthy vegetables and meats, since during such periods fruits and meat exhibit a strong tendency to decomposi tion. Slaughter-houses should be care fully cleansed and cities and markets be subjected to the strictest sanitary regula tions. That yellow fever will again visit the north is certain, and this added to the permanent type of cholera which prevails now among us will add grcatty to the dis tress. Yellow fever has come further north this year than last. It is time to prepare for the calamity. JVJ2 Mexico appears to be undergoing the throes of another revolution. A let ter to the Tribune, dated Acapulco, Sept. 7, 1854, says : Gen. Alvarez in person, at the head of 2,500 men, entered the city of Yutela on the 4th iust., the Government troops hav ing evacuated on the 3d. Alvarez is pushing forward for Chilpancingo, where he will arrive in a few days without any opposition, as all the Government troops have been withdrawn from the State of Guerrero for the Capital, except a force of 1,500 left at Tiztla, to retard, if pos sible, his onward movements, which can not be the ease, inasmuch as Alvarez is in fine health and leading a body of men who, to a man, would die for their chief tain. By a courier, which arrived this oven ing, official information has been received that Vera Cruz has pronounced for Alva rez; and from all indications it is very Brmly believed thatSauta Auua will very soon abdicate. A Child Killed by the Arm of its Dead trranoiuotlier. On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Martha Whitcomb, widow of the late Jeremiah Whitcomb, of Stowe, was-found dead in her bed, at the house of her son-in-law, Mr. Chas. II. Peck, residing in Crown st. in this city, and by her side, at the same time, was discovered the lifeless corpse ot hor grandchild, the only son of Ferdinand and Martha Dernier, aged seven months. Mrs. Whitcomb had taken the child to her bed, in order to assist its mother in wean ing it; but it is supposed that she expired suddenly iu the night from disease of the heart, with which she had been some time afflicted. At the time of her death ap pearances indicated that her arm fella- cross the face of the infant, and as it stif fened in death the child was unable to ex tricate itself, and was smothered by the pressure jpf (he arm upon its mouth and nostrils. Worcester .S'w, &;. 27. The Coming; State Elections. THE CANDIDATES AND THE ISSUES. The election is close at hand, and the people should examine well the merits of the candidates, and the issues involved, before casting their votes. The contest is one of more than ordinary interest, claiming the attention of every man who has the welfare of the Commonwealth honestly at heart. The editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer, in an ably written article on this subject, thus alludes to the candidates of the Whig party, and the issues in contest between the two parties: The "Whig candidate for Governor is the Hon. JAMES POLLOCK, of North umberland county, lie is a true-hearted Pennsylvania!!, and is possessed of every quality culculated to make an efficient Chief Magistrate, lie is clear-headed, strong-minded and eminently patriotic As a writer he is vigorous and forcible : as a speaker, he is practical and elo quent; and as a statesman, he is reliable and experienced. Our political friends may vote for him with the utmost confi dence confidence in his intelligence, his fidelity, his availability, and his devotion to the best interests of Pennsylvania. The candidate for Canal Commissioner is the lion. GEORGE DAUSIE, of Al legheny county, lie has been a member of the State Senate for years, and in that capacity he has deservedly won much distinction. Mr. Darsic is one of the a blest men iu Pennsylvania. The candidate for Judge of the Su preme Court is DANIEL M. SMYSER, of Montgomery county. In this case al so, the Whigs have been eminently hap py in their choice. A polished mind, great legal attainments, an unsullied rep utation, and uniform dignity and courtesy of deportment, are characteri-tics every way suited to the highest tribunal of the Commonwealth, and all these may be found in Judge S:nyer. But what are the issues so far as the State is concerned 1 In the first place, the indebtedness of Pennsylvania is im mense, and amounts to something like forty millions of dollars. This indebted ness has not decreased in any manner worth speaking of, since the inauguration of Governor Bigler, and it is not likely to diminish should that gentlemau be re-elected. The State taxation already op pressive, will probably become more so, and the system of imprudence and ex travagance that has been in progress for years, will only be continued and per petuated. Are the people prepared for this condition of affairs? Are they will ing to confirm and extend the Bigler dynasty, and thus to increase the indebt edness of the State and exhausting laxa tion on their property? Are they nor satisfied that in this matter at leat, Gov. Bigler has shown himself to be inefficient. la the second plnee, the question of the Sale of the Puclic Works will be renewed at the next session of the State Legisla ture. The bill that was adopted during the last session, was so marred and crip pled, chiefly at the instance of friends of mockery. The object of those who in troduced the obnoxious amendments was to prevent the sale, and in this they suc ceeded. They desired to retain the pub- lie works as a source of corruption to po litical partizans, as a means of rewarding friends and favorites. I his they knew had been the effect heretofore, and the were apprehensive that a more rightcou. policy would lead to. their political disad vantage. . And hence it was, that an ab surd bill was adopted, that an enormous price was fixed, aod that the measure was defeated. And hence, too, the taxes are as enormous as ever, and are likely to continue so, until some change shall take place. Arc the citizens of Pennsylvania prepared to sustain aud uphold this con dition of affairs? Are they willing to have the public works in the hands of profli gate -partisans, to be employed whenever they may deem proper, to bolster up this candidate or that, without regard to the industry of the people, and the already fearful rates of taxation? In .he third place, Governor Bigler and his friends are understood to be favorable to the repeal of the Missouri Compomise and to the Nebraska Billf as adopted dur ing the last session of Congress. So also are the members of Congress, as nomina ted by the Democratic party throughout the State. Pennsylvania, therefore, will speak for the first time on the second Tuesday in October. In relation to the manner in which she v,'ill epcak, we have every confidence. Certain it is that large majority of our citizens regard the Nebraska scheme and all its consequences, not only with displeasure, but with the utmost detestation. 1 he style in vvhicl oenator .uougias uas teen reeeiveu on his return to Illinois, is significant as to the popular seuse of that section of the Union. Pennsylvania is, if possible, far more decided and unequivocal in her sen timents upon the sacred subject of human liberty than Illinois, or indeed, any por tion of the south-west. Ifer people are Jess clamorous and less violent, but they are not the less decided. These then are among the issues of the second Tuesday of October. A week- longer, and the freemen of this Common wealth will be called upon to attend the polls, and to speak through the ballot boxes. It is well known that a deep feel ing pervades the public mind, and that a strong determination every where exists to secure a change, not only as relates to tue Clner Magistrate, but with reference to many of the Representatives in Con gress. The tax-payers are naturally ex cited at the existing condition of affairs, and they have no confidence in our pres ent rulers. A reform is needed, a radi cal reform, aud this can only be effected by the election of the Whig candidates, who are known to be opposed to the pres ent profligate system, and who, if success ful, wih go into office, pledged to reduce the debt of the Commonwealth, to di minish the taxes of the people, aud to promote by every possible means, the in terests and the prosperity of the great State of Pennsylvania. vmjmM.mil. ti n i, m III lull' i Tmi HMLMil BaaO'j'. - Judge Pollock in "Wilkes-Barrc. According to previous engagement Judge Pollock addressed the people of Luzerne County, at Wilkes-Barre, on Wednesday evening last. As many of the audience as could gain admittance in to the Court House, repaired there at an early hour in the evening awaited the ar rival ot the distinguished speaker. But the crowd had so augmented in numbers by the time he arrived that it was impos sible for all to get within hearing distance, and the cries of "out side" went up very unanimously from the assembly. It was true, as was remarked by a distinguish gcntleman from the stand that "the back townships were in," and they desired to hear what the man of their choice had to say. We have not time, nor do we deem it necessary to give any details of what he said but suffice to say that his speech was clear, concise, and to the point, and received with many evidences of approval. After the Judge had finished, loud cri es for "Fuller" went up from the audi, ence at which Mr. Fuller appeared upon the stand and spoke at some length. Mr. Bartholomew Morrison was then called for, and addressed the crowd in the most frauk, good natured, and effec tual manner, and revealed a few things which will have an effect upon the course of his Irish friends when they come to the Ballot Box. Mr. M. during t he course of his speech remarked, that the Democrats only sought the assistance of Irishmen to aid them to ride into power, and when they got there, they "claimed all the loaves and the Knife to cut them." Wo ma' here remark that wherever Mr. Pollock has been the people have come out in masses to hear him. At Scranton when bespoke in the afternoon, the greatest enthusiasm was apparent. Men in every employment left their work, the hanimer ceased for a while its ring up on the anvil, and the saw and the plane, hushed their harsh music at his approach. The laborer, the mechanic, the farmer and we had almost said men of leasure (but Scranton has none) were out. So it will be at the election in October. Pitts ton Gazette. Bigler's Engineering. Several weeks ago the North Branch Ca nal was pronounced finished, and the wa ter was to be let in. It waa let in, but in stead of flowing down stream, and filling the canal it ran up hill or towards the head of the river ! ! of course the canal would not fill. The made the wrong way! grade had been Thus the millions of dollars expended on tho work, which was to have been completed a year ago last spring, arc useless, and cannot be made available without a change and re modeling of the work, at a very heavy additional expense. Here is a brilliant accomplishment o tho Administration, which Gov. Biglci and his organs have neglected to lay be fore the People, and which for depth o engineering, &c, is not surpassed by any of the able scientific achievements ot the locofoco or any other party. It may be that the fear of getting out of fat State iobs induced the Ligler Engineer on the North Branch to attempt the experimen of making water run up hill ! that in case of failure the North Branch would stil afford forage ground for the horde who have so long fattened on public plunder Molt A Know ITotliing. The Morning Post is savage upon Judge Pollock, alleging that he is a Know Noth ing, and therefore specially obnoxious to Democracy. Now we charge: First. That Henry S. Mott, Democrat ic candidate for Canal Commissioner, is a Know Nothing. iSccond. That tho State Central Com mittcc of the Democrats have ascertained Mott's connexion with the mysteriou order. Third. That they continue his name on their ticket, knowing him to be a Know Nothing, in violation ofthe pledges of their conventions all over the State. Fourth. The Post supports Mott, knou ing him to be a member of the mystei i ous order of Know Nothings Journal. Pittsburgh Judge Smyser. We hope no Whig or friend of refom will neglect to vote fer Hon. Daniel M Smyser. for Judge ofthe Supreme Court He is beyond all doubt the best man before the people for that important station. In his private and social relations he is es teemed by men of all parties who enjoy the pleasure of his acquaintance, while as regards qualification for the office, he is without a superior. JJaily Ncics. Important from Mexico Progress of the Revolution. Baltimore, Oct. 2 mail this morning, brin The Southern New Orleans papers of Saturday last. The papers contain details of late Mcx lean news, giving a lengthy account of the action at the Government troops. According to the account by General Yanes, it was a desperately contested af- i? "O-.-U .. rn mir. jjuuiuou a ionowers were princi pally rencu, (Jermans, Chilians and Irish, and they remained faithful to his cause. The Government had issued a decree prohibiting the discharge of cargoes of vessels coming consigned to Uaptains or Supercargoes, except under the responsi bility of some established house at the port or place in which they arrive. Letters received give us later news of the progress of the Revolution. Every confidence is entertained in Jalisco ofthe entiro success of the opponents of Santa Anna. Rumors had reached Monclova that the Governors of Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi, and Nueva Leon, were rolied unon as a- gainst Santa Anna. Preparations are being raado for a gen eral outbreak at Durango. The towns of omaiva and bonora, on the Gu f of Cali fornia, are already issuing pronuncia- mcutos. - mm Candidate for Congress. Mr. E. F. Stewart, of Easton, is a Vol unteer Candidate for Congress from this District. He is represented as a gentle man of superior talents; unimpeachable character, an opponent of slavery exten sion. Every vote given to Judge Packer will be counted at Washington, as one for Pierce Douglas, and the Nebraska Bill. Death of a Pennsylvanian A stranger fell in the street at Dayton, Ohio, ou the IGth instant, and immedi ately expired. The coronor was sent for, and it was ascertained that the body was that of Ezekiel Clark, a resident of Wash ington county, Pa., who was on his way to Illinois, where lie was in the habit of purchasing cattle for the Eastern market, lie had on his person two gold watches and $11,443, including S4,000 in drafts on New York. A Sad Picture. The Journal of Commerce says: "Not a night passes, we are truthfully told, without burglaries. Fires arc of constant occurrence. Midnight brawls are fre quent. Murders follow upon each other with frightful rapidity. Punishment for these offences is slow and not sure iu the few eases in which arrests arc made. It is undeniable that there is a far wider sympathy for criminals than is compati ble with the public good." This is indeed a sad picture of the Empire City. Effects of Speculations. Some of the millers in the neighborhood of Chambersburg are purchasing large quantities of wheat in Baltimore and Phil adelphia, the article costing less when de livered there than it can be bought from the farmers. Maine Election. We have now full returns of the Maine Election, excepting two towns and six plantations, giving altogether last year 255 votes, arid the result for Governor is: Morrill .H,So2, Cary 3,524, Reed 14,017, Parris 28,300. " xMorriil will lack 1,000 votes of an election. In the Senate there are 2i Republicans elected, and there are ten vacancies, which will be filled by the same party, making that body stand 31 to 0! Morrill (Republican) will be elected Governor by the Legisla turc. The House of Representatives consists of 151 members, and is Anti Nebraska by a majority of three to one. This is indeed a glorious result for the cause of Freedom. For Congress, the Fusion candidates are all elected, with the exception of Milliken iu the Sixth District. .a, The Justices of the peace of the Bor ough of Danville have furnished the Ianu lords aud liquor sellers of that town, with a list of one hundred and six liaises of persons who are of known intemperate habits, with a view of preventing the lat ter from being supplied with intoxicating drinks. Among the list are Jive females. The Whig and Free Soil papers pi Beaver, Butler, Mercer, Lawrence and Crawford, speak in the most enthusiastic terms of Judge Pollock's reception and speeches iu their respective couulies. They all commend his ability, seutiments and appearance, and predict for him an overwhelming vote. New York fJavkctg. Flour, ccc.

The undersigned his bten requested by a number of citizens from different parts of ihc District, to offer himself as an Independent Candidate for CONGRESS at the ensuing election. Although the proposition was al together apart from his wishes fr expecta tions, yet, after much reflection, he has de termined to give an affirmative response to his friends. The reasons which have induced this conclusion are various. He is willing to serve the public if they make the demand. Again he believes ih-st there is a desire in l he District to have an Independent CautHc ate that thus opportunity may be allowed the voters to express l!tf.-ir views upon measures of importance mv before the country. This is a lime to dismiss party subserviency and to show by f-peech. vote, and actiou. true pa triot inn. No one capable of reading the feigns ofthe times'' can deny that our coun try. has rr -chert n historical crisis. What we nf: not much platforms or political crerfiri as a i'etr'ess intrepidity to speak brava a ntiment and to uo riuiu. Having been born h4. reared in the county of Northampton, nnd bred therein almost nil his days, he feels thnt fie needs no special introduction of himself to the people of tho district. Specific pledges it is not wtae to anticipate. Generally he promises, if elected, to give his best attention to the advancement of the interests of the important and growing district whoso special representative he would be, not forgetting the principles to which tho cizens of the good old Commonwealth have always iicri attached, at the same time stu diously looking to the welfare of these United States, upon whose union aad prosperity the hones of the friends of freedom throughout the world rest.
