James Comstock, arrived in the river last night, from Now York, bringing. 203 passengers, and 162,047 dols. 63c. in specie ; and by her we have received our ad vices from New York to the 7th instant, being four days later than to hand by the Canada. She reports the arrival of the Niagara hence at Boston, and the Washington, from Bremen and Southampton, at New York ; also having passed the Atlantic, of the same line, on the 15th inst., at noon, iu lat. 49.16 N., lon. 26.31 W., hence to New York. Amongst her passengers were Professor Morse (inventor of the magnetic telegraph) and Col. Colt. The New York journals are filled with the pro ceedings of the Cincinnati Democratic State Con vention. That body, on the 6th, nominated the Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, President of the States, by a unanimous vote, after 16 ballot ings. His opponents were the present President (Pierce), Douglas, and Cass. The following is the result of the balloting : Ballots. Buchanan. Pierce. Douglas. Cd SF. 1 130 3 4 4 l41l 5 6 7 8 ~. 1471 0 First vote ..... ... 142 I Second.vote 10 ... 1501 BOl 5Ol 5l 1471 148 - 1521 1681 35 1184 44 168 17 When the seventeenth ballot was taken, the Convention rose to the highest state of excitement as state after state gave a plumper for the nominee. The vote was then announced as 296 for Buchanan, upon which the cheering was immense. Three tremendous cheers were then given for Buchanan, three equally enthusiastic ones for Douglas, and three " moderate" ones for Pierce. The Convention then proceeded to nominate a Vice-President, and the vote was announced as unanimous for Breckenridge, he having received 296 votes. The announcement was received with immense applause. Mr. Breckenridge being loudly called for, took the stand amidst deafening cheers, and made an appropriate speech. Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, being called for, said : The last two years have witnessed the dissolution of the Whig party and the uprising of a deluge of fanatical factions which threatened to overwhelm the equal rights of the states, the constitution of the country, and the prosperity of the people. lAm one of those 2,000 or 3,000 old Whigs who, disclaiming the shallow heresies and persecution tenets of the miscalled American party, scorn all duplicity, abjure all compromise, and rather choose to stand in honourable alliance with our former opponents in defiance of that constitution which makes us one people, than to take the senseless and absurd oaths of the wretched Know-nothing order. During this time the democrats have proved them selves equal to their ancient reputation ; but it is now our enviable fortune to aid in the battle and share in the glory of victory. Not the acqui sition of Louisiana, with her fertile plains—not the annexation of Texas, which extended the empire still further southwards—not the planting of our standard upon the turrets of Mexico or the struggles that won the golden shores of California, will equal in moment or importance that great contest upon which we now enter for the preservation of our internal tranquillity, the maintenance of our laws, the restoration of concord, and the perpetuation of the grand political system bequeathed to us by our revolutionary fathers. For the defence of these principles the democratic party stand in battle array against all adversaries, defiant in their patriotism, energetic in their virtue and conscious purity of their motives, that they wili maintain them with impregnable strength against the assaults of every adversary of re publicanism. In that battle not less than two hundred thousand earnest and most devoted adherents to the old Whig party will be found standing shoulder to shoulder with them, animated by no hope bat for the public wel fare, forgetful of the past, and determined by a bold and feariess alliance to win the victory in the approaching presidential contest. The New York Courier and Enquirer does not look favourably upon the choice of the convention. It pays : Mr. Buchanan, in our judgment, is destined to be beaten. His amiable personal qualities will go but a very short way towards reconciling the American people to the principles and policy with which he is identified. The coming contest involves too serious political issues to be influenced, to any important extent, by mere per sonal considerations. The vital interests of the country are at stake. We regard it as certain as any future event can be, that the continuation of such a domestic policy as that which has been inaugurated under Presi. dent Pierce would ultimately produce civil war ; and that the carrying out of the doctrines and sentiments of the Ostend Report and of the Cincinnati resolutions would plunge us into war with the principal powers of Europe. The great mass of the intelligent voters of the North, we have no doubt, will entertain the same con viction. It is trusted that Mr. Buchanan will get the vote of every Southern State. The selection of Mr. Breckenridge, as the candidate for the vice-presidency, was made expressly to secure the vote of Kentucky, which was regarded as the most doubtful of the slave holding States. It was an adroit expedient, and perhaps may effect its purpose so far as that particular State is concerned ; but it will be of no avail. Mr. Buchanan is to-day a weak candidate with the majority of the Ame rican people, and as he becomes better under.stood will rapidly grow weaker. The following brief sketch of Mr. Buchanan's life appears in the New York journals : Mr. Buchanan was born in Franklin, county Pennsyl vania, on the 19th of April, 1791. He was elected .te the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1814 and 1815. In 1830 be was sent to congress, where he continued for ten years. In 1831 he was sent as a Minister to Russia by General Jackson. He returned home in 1834, and was immediately elected to the United States Senate, where he remained until 1842. Afterwards he was appointed Secretary of State by President Polk, which be held for four years ; and soon after the accession of Hr. Pierce to the presidency, he was sent as Minister to England, from whence he returned a few weeks ago. The following telegraphic despatches appear in the papers of the 7th inst.:— BELFAST, ME., June 6, 6 p.m.—The nomination of Mr. Buchanan by the democracy was received here with great enthusiasm. A large crowd with a bead of music assembled on the common, and fired a salute. CONCORD, N.H., June 6. —The democrats of this city cordially responded to the nomination of Mr. Buchanan, and 100 guns are now being fired in his honour. BOSTON, June 6.—The announcement of Mr. Be ehanan's nomination caused some sensation in this city. It is said 100 guns will be fired to-morrow in honour of the event. PROVIDENCE, R. 1., June 6.—The nomination of Mr. Buchanan was received by the democrats here with great enthusiasm. 100 guns were fired this afternoon in honour of the event. PHILADELPHIA, June 6.—The office of the Pennsyl vanian is illuminated to night in honour of the nomina tion of Buchanan. A. number of speakers are addressing a crowd in front of the building, bat, although there is general good feeling, the demonstration is not very enthu siastic—the hurrah boys being all at Cincinnati. The .New York Journal of Commerce says : The appointment is well received by the public gene rally. Mr. Buchanan's election will be considered a gua rantee for domestic quiet on the ba , is of the Constitution, and for friendly relations with foreign powers. We think we can promise him a liberal support from the commercial community of this city. The papers contain scarcely anything additional on the subject of Mr. Crampton's dismissal, or the state of the relations between England and Ame rica. 15 . The Washington correspondence of the New York Courier and Enquirer says :—" The ground swell of the Crampton case continues to agitate the bosoms of the timid, but the public mind will r( fuse to be excited by anything connected with that event, until after the arrival of the steamer which will bring intelligence of the reception of the proceeding in England." In the Know-nothing National Council an ani mated and prolonged debate occurred as to the pro priety of abolishing secrecy in their meetings, which was ultimately decided in the affirmative by a large majority. The New York Times publishes a memorial from the people of Kansas to the President of the United States. The document is now at Washington, in the possession of the Executive. It is signed by men of the highest standing and integrity, who vouch for the truth of their statements as facts within their personal knowledge: From letters of correspondents we learn that the Free-state men and their families who fled from Lawrence when the attack was made have re turned ; nearly all have suffered more or less by the plunder of the mob. The aggregate amount of losses sustained has been estimated at over 130,000 dols., and when the various claims have been cel -1 lected they will be sent to Congress, with a votition for an appropriation to recompense those who have suffered. Governor Shannon has stationed four companies of United States Dragoons at Lawrence, as he says, to protect the town. In despite of their misfortunes, the Free-state men are not discou raged, but are preparing for future action. The correspondents state that a thorough organisation of the Free state party is nearly completed, and with aid, in men and means, now pouring in from the North, success is considered certain. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, speaking at a convention held at Worcester, said— This assault on Sumner is by the slave power of this country the same which is striking down the sons and daughters of New England on the plains of Kansas. The slave power defends it. Congress has sent a com mission into the territory of Kansas, in hopes that order might prevail. That commission has been insulted, Lawrence has been assailed, buildings burned, and civil war prevails there ; it is because the slave power de mands it. This power wields the government of this country. Pierce wanted to present himself as candidate again for the Pre, idency, and he was willing to do it with the blood of Kansas upon his hands. Pierce goes into the National Convention with his hands bathed in inno cent blood. He cannot be nominated. The slave power has no gratitude for past favours, and it is ready to throw him away as a worthless thing. There is no man in this Union wbo will do the work of the alaveholder more faithfully, or will bow lower to the slave power than James Buchanan. A platform will be erected for him which he will be compelled to mount and go to any ex tent this power may demand. What are we to do in this emergency ? If the people of the free states can forget their divisions, their little interests, and take each other 1 y the hand, and unite their efforts, we san place a man in the presidential chair true to linervy. The people of Naesachu4tts tcrAky,_are fpr, freedom, all their convictio n s upon this queAtiori ar e a right, yet they are divided into a variety of political organi , ations. Shall we bury the dead past ? Shall we, if we have made a — mistake4..forget it, and consent to unite against the slave power ? If you can, this state will give 125,000 votes for a man who will protect Kansas and be true to liberty. Let the people unite, elect a president true to freedom, and thus rescue the Federal government, and save Kansas. We can do more. We can go to Kansas and aid in planting free institutions there, and tuose of u who cannot go can give their wealth to sustain the friends of freedom now being crushed and driven from that territory. We can certainly conquer the democracy, and in conquering them we conquer the slave power. The cause in whin we are engaged is one of transcendent importance, not only to us, but to our posterity • it concerns not merely the tcihng slave but the millions of freemen, both North and South. The South does not contend for slavery merely over those Rho are dark-skinned ; they will make slaves of white men as readily as of black men if they can • the South and the democratic party h ave not a particle of love for the Union nor for liberty ; if either be saved it must be by our union to defeat the pro•slavery part of the country, and re-establish free dom in all this glorious land. 101 feet. She was designed by Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, and built by Samuel Reed, Esq., master shipwright of this yard, assisted by Mr. Nether wood,"foreman shipwright; and will carry 20 68-pounders and one long pivot gun, which she will fight on the upper deck. Part of her machinery is now in, by con tract of the eminent firm of John Penn and Co., of Greenwich. The interesting ceremony of christening was performed by Miss Tucker, daughter of Captain John Jervis Tucker, superintendent of this yard. After launching, the Scylla was hanied into the basin, to fit out, &c. The whole of the dockyard artisans have as usual been granted a half-holiday. We hear that the Clio, whose timbers are all cut out, will he laid down, but that she will have one deck more than first arranged. The Scylla is a sister ship to the Pylades, and is of equally fine model and proportions. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. DURHAM. EASTER TERM, 1856. PUBLIC EXAMINATIONS IN ARTS. Examiners.

A mother and a daughter were both confined on the same day each having a little son. In the bustle of the moment both infante were placed in a cradle together, and to the confusion of the mothers, when the youngsters were taken from the cradle, they were unable to tell which was the mother's and which the (laughter's son—a matter which of course must ever remain a mystery. The family is in great dia. tre,s over the affair. [ADVERTISEMENT. SIGHT AND HEARING. SPECTACLES, POWERFUL TELESCOPES, OPERA, RACE, AND PERSPECTIVE GLASSES.—Messrs. S, and B.

Bank er s gene rally refused to draw on London below 1091 to 1091, while we can learn of no important sale above the inside figure. Good commer cial paper was offered at 109 k to 1091. The following are the extreme rates of foreign exchange, bankers' signatures 60 days' sight :—London, 1091 to 1091 ; Paris, 5.171 to 5.161 ; Antwerp, 5.181 to 5.171. Money contiaues abundant, and the supply of specie among our city hanks has again considerably increased to-day. BREADSTUSFS. —Flour : The market exhibited no change of moment in prices, while there wit.: some ani mation in sales, owing in part to the disposition among dealers to await the receipt of the Niagara's private let ters.—Wheat : The market for prime lots was steady, while inferior and common grades were dull and irregu lar.—Corn : The sales embraced about 36,000 bushels, including western distilling lots at 55c., and sound wes tern mixed at 50c. ; white and yellow, for eastern ship ment, at 53c. to t 4 c. ; and sound white and yellow, in shipping order, at 56c. Much of the western corn re ceived comes to hand in bad order. COTTON.—IIe market closed firm, with an advance of to. to gc. in the fortnight. The more important tabu taries of the Mississippi are again reported to be falling, and the weekly receipts are decreasing, but as the av er age receipts from this date for the past five years would place this crop at 4,580,000, there is nothing yet shown against our theory of a final yield of about 3,600,000. The accounts of the growing crop are very satisfactory, and with the exception of oae or two cold days we have noticed no complaints. BOUNDARIES OF THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

The Rhadamanthus, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-trans port, Master-Commander Edmund P. Cole, from Wool wich, has been taken into the basin at Sheerne s, havino landed the spare store boilers for the Miranda, and the screw propeller for the Scylla. She is to be put out of the basin this day, and returns to Woolwich. LAUNCH OF THE SCYLLA.. Yesterday morning having been fixed upon for tke launch of her Majesty's screw corvette Scylla, of 21 guns and 400-horse power, an immense number of per sons of all classes assembled at Sheerness, at the various places where they could catch a glimpse of the imposing sight. About 12.30 p.m. the dog-shores were knocked away, and the vessel glided into her future element, amidst the hearty cheering of the spectators. The bans of the port-admiral, the Hon. W. Gordon, attended. The principal dimensions of this vessel are as follow : Ft. 10. Length between the perpendiculars 200 0 Length of the keel for tonnage..,.,,, - 171 9& Breadth, extreme Breadth for tonnage Breadth, moulded Depth in hold 23 11 Burden in tons, 1466 55.94 39 4 When lauuclad, as far as we could sec, 110 drew about METALLIC LIFE-BOATS. Some interesting trials took place yesterday morning in the outer basin of Woolwich dockyard, with Mr. Francis's patent metallic life-boats, and one of his metal lic army waggons. Commodore Shepherd, superinten dent of that dockyard ; Mr. M`Donald, master attend. ant ; and Mr. Rice, the master shipwright, were the official spectators from the department, the showery state of the weather Navin; prevented the attendance, as arranged, of the Lords of the Admiralty. Col. Tullob, R.A., director of the carriage department of Woolwich Arsenal ' • Colonel Sandhan , , commanding Royal Engi neers at Chatham ; Major Eyre, F.R G.S., Bengal Ar tillqry ; and Captain Clerk, R.A., were likewise in attendance to report on the experiments, with a view of superseding the use of wooden boats, and also of intro ducing the metallic waggons into general army use. After proving in various ways the difficulty of capsizing 'the boats even by more than ordinary means, .a strong man, with a large long-handled axe, struck some twenty blows in one spot with all the strength he could muster without being able to make so much as an indentation. One of the smallest boats was then put on shore, and rolled and tossed about on the pavement, then lifted up many times on its end and suffered to fall with great violence on the stones. Only a few trifling indentations were produced on the sides, but these were speedily set to rights by a few blows of a hammer. It was then launched into the water, and revved many times against the stone pier, end on, with all the power of four men and one to steer, all of which did not injure the boat or cause her to leak. The metallic waggon was likewise placed in the wate', with the whole of its running gear attached, including the pde ; the weight was 17cwt. 41b. A number of men then got in, which brought the waggon down to within a few feet of the water's edge. Attempts were then made to upset it by the whole of the men hearing down, first co one side and then on the other, but without effect. The upper edge of the waggon could not be brought belo ai the water. The next trial was with the body alone, the running gear being detached and allowed to sink in the basin ; exertions were then ma le to upset it, but with the same result. It was then loaded with planks and two men, weighing about 34 cwt., but nei ther in this case could any rolling bring the upper edge under water, the whole of the experiments turning out successful. DEATH OF REAR•ADMIRAL PRICKETT. We regret to have to record the demise of Rear-Ad miral T. Prickett (1853), which mournful event took place on the 12th inst., in the Suffolk-parade, Chelten ham, in the 68th year of his age. This officer was born April 23, 1789, and is son of the late Commander John Prickett, and brother of Lieut. J. D. Prickett, who was senior on the Busy sloop, when that vessel with all on board was lost on the Halifax station in 1807. We ex tract the following account of the services of this gallant officer from O'Byrne's " Naval Biography" :- " This officer entered the navy Dec. 3, 1799, as first class volunteer on hoard the Borer, gun-brig, commanded by his father, Lieut. J. Prickett, with whom he served in the Channel until May, 1802, part of the time in the capacity of midshipman. Joining in the following July the Centaur, 74, he sailed in that ship with the broad pendant of Sir S. Hood for the West Indies, where in the attack of 1803 upon St. Lucie, he took command of a boat, and was employed in landing the troops. After serving for a short time in the home station in the Fou droyant, 80, Capt. P. Spicer, and Uranie, 38, Capt. Hon. C. Herbert, he returned to the West Indies, and became attached in succenion to the Theseus , 74, and Hercule, 74, flag-ships of Vice-Ad m i ra l J. R. Dacres, by whom he was nominated sub-lieutenant of the Morne Fortunee, schooner, Lieut.-Commander J. J. Rorie. Being made full lieutenant, April 28, 1805, into the Renard, of 18 guns, and 121 men, Capt. J. Caghlan, Mr. Prickett, as senior of that sloop, assisted at the capture, among other vessels, of La Belione, privateer, of 4 guns, and 50 men, and on May 28, 1806, after an arduous chase of three days and nights, of La Diligente, national brig, mount ing 14 long 6-pounders, an-! 2 brass 36-pounder carro nades, with a complement of 125 men. In command of the boats of the Elk, 18, into which vess , l he had fol lowed Captain Coghlan as first lieutenant in the spring of 1807, he succeede 1 in cutting out a schooner from under the protection of six gun-boats. He was for six weeks also engaged as a volunteer in cruising in a boat for the interception of the enemy's small privateers ; and for his general services in the Elk he bad the gratifica tion of receiving, with Captain Coghlam, the thanks of the Governor and House of Assembly at Jamaica. While employed next, as senior, in the Griffon slo Captain J. Gore, Mr. Prickott was present at the block ade and surrender of the city of San Domingo, and, owing to the illness of his captain, had many anziaus duties to perform. Returning to England about August, 1809, he became, in January, 1810, flag-lieutenant in the Gladiator to the second in comman d at Portsmouth, Vice-Admiral Sir H. S iwyer, with whom he afterwards served in the same capacity in the Belvidera, 36, and Africa, 64, on the coast of America, until advanced to the rank of commander, Jan. 30, 1813 During a few months of that period he held the acting command of tile Little Belt, 18, and made many prizes. In the Teaser, 14, to which vessel he was appointed March 25, 1814, Captain Prickett took an American privateer of superior force, as also a valuable East Indiaman--a ser vice fur which be was complimented by the fir fit Lord of the Admiralty, and, at the request of the commander-in chief, immediately removed, Dec. 25, in the same year, to the Pelican, 16, a much finer sloop. Continuing in her but a short period, he was next, Aug. 9, 1823, ap pointed to the Victor, 18, fitting for tha coast of Africa, where he cruised with success in suppression of the slave trade, and where, on being nominated acting captain of the Owen Glendower, 42, he became senior officer. In the latter capacity he rendered cordial co-operation and assistance to Lieut.-Colonel Sutherland, the commandant at Cape Coast Castle, when threatened with an attack by the King of Ashantee, who was rapidly approaching with 10,000 men to form a junction with a body already encamped near that fortress. He acquired his present rank August 20, 1824, and accepted the retirement October 1, 1846. " While in command of the Pelican Captain Prickett jumped overboard and saved the lives of two seamen, imminently hazarding his own existence, and by his exertions occaiioning material injury to his health. We understand that death alone prevented his late Majesty from conferring on him the Hanoverian Guelphic Order, in acknowledgment of his services. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant G. C. Sinclair, to the Impregnable ; Lieu tenant H. G. Silverlock, to the Victory ; Lieutenant R. Pitman, to the Victory.

PRINCE NAPOLEON'S VISIT TO THE NORTH. SHIELDS, June 18.--A few lines which were despatched from this place at noon to-day announced the un expected arrival of Prince Napoleon i;ff the Tvne thi. morning in the yacht La Reine Hortense. The Imperial visitor landed at 6 o'clock in the morn ing, accompanied by several scientific French gentlemen, and in a very quiet and unostentatious manner took the first train to Newcastle. It was thought that the Impe rial party would visit some of the large works in the neighbourhood of that town, but they did not do so ; for, after an interview with Le Comte de Mericourt, the French Consul, and after breakfasting at the Queen's Head Hotel, the Imperial party proceeded to Seghill Pit in the Hartley steam coal-field, which they descended in company with Mr. John Carr, jun., one of the pro prietors, and Mr. Friar, the viewer. They spent some time in exploring this extensive mine, and after coming to the surface again visited Hartley Colliery, which is now kept dear of water by one of the largest engines in the kingdom, Seaton Sluice, and other places in this in teresting locality. The party reached Tynemouth again about four o'clock in the afternoon, and immediately em barked, a Royal salute being fired from the Castle. La Reine Hortense will sail to-night for Leith, and, after visiting Edinburgh and its locality, we understand it is the intention of the Prince and his party to proceed to Iceland, to make some scieutifio observations.
