CHURCH-STREET, Eegs respectfully to inform the Nubility and Gentry of Liver pool that his NEW STYLES fur the Season are NOW READY for Inspection. if; C . kort r (!t P! FRIDAY. OCTOBER 3, 1855, DAY'S NEWS. The intelligence from America brought by the Calabria, arrived here yesterday afternoon, is of little importance. The Presidency question was the all-engrossing topic. Fremont was gaining adherents by hundreds, and Buchanan's friends were fast diminishing in numbers. As to Fillmore, his chance of success is very slender indeed. Gover nor 13,,,eder had, in a letter to the New York iourna!s, given his reasons for quitting the democratic party, and supporting Colonel Fremont. An.abstract of his letter will be found in our news columns. By a despatch from Washington, it seems prObable that a treaty upon Central American affairs has been concluded- between England and the United States Government, and that Mr. Dallas had plenipotentiary power. From Kansas we have a synopsis of Gov. Geary's in augural address, delivered at Lecompton on the 11th ult. He promises to do justice to all without regard to party considerations, but expects obedience to the laws of the territorial legislature until they are repealed. He has ordered the dis- Charge of the volunteer militia, and commanded all bodies of armed men to disband or quit the terri tory. The President of the San Francisco Vigilance uCommittee had been arrested at New York, pon the c h arge of assisting to expel a an frorn San Francisco. As the committee have expelled a great many men from that city, the result of the trial will no doubt, be awaited with con s id era b le interest.' We have reports from Mexico stating that a serious difficulty had arisen between the Government of that country and the British Minister. That gentleman is said to have demanded his passports, and to have ordered a naval squadron to proceed to V era Cruz to enforce the demands of England. This, how ever, requires confirmation, taking into account the very questionable source from whence the informs.- tion is said to have been received. Our Continental advices are varied and inter esting. The French jou taken up with the Gortschakoff cireuillalsona rethe Neapolitan question. A portio n of our Paris cotemporaries seem to be of opinion that the said document ig spurious—in fact, a forgery—but there seems to be no do u b t that the d ocum ent in question is authentic, rrornulaated by the order of the Russian Executive. It may be true that the classic vigour of the French ill which the celebrated Nesselrode manifesto was couched has not been equalled by the production of P r i nce GortschakotT, but the internal evi dences aro sufficient to convince the most sceptic that Cz ar Al exander would w i sh to turn the present state of Napl es to account. Th e conduct ofßussia is, and alw a y s h as been, double faced. To us, Russia has been the same since the s i gn i ng of the treaty at Paris, that she was before Nicholas sent the first battalions of his army across the Pruth. It has been, and is; an instinct with all Russians, as it has been the secret and ' constant policy of the Czars, to ettend the empire east, west, andiouth, and to insidiously prosecute their aggressive pur poses in whatever manner was most suital;le to the time and place in which these ini_;!lt be secured., Taking the circular Mentioned us a whole, the hollow pretence of obedience to the details of inter national law and justice which urges the Czar's Government now to declare its " never dissembled opinion" with regard to_ the interference of the Western Powers in Italy and Greece will not de ceive any one. The real object which Russia ha's in view in this circular is to maintain despotism, and to oppose the influence of the Western Allies at all hazards, wherever it exists. A. report is cur rent to the effect that a Russian squadron has received orders to take up its winter quarters in the Bay of Naples. If this he true, it is difficult to believe that Russia has no inteution of making this naval force est as a counter-balance to the ships of France and _ Great Britain, and, as we are informed, of Sardinia, which are to be despatched to the same quarter. Is Russia not yet tired of war? Does she not own that she was beaten in the Crimea ? The circular, and this threatened naval squadron, appear very like a negative reply. As regards the state of affairs between the Allies and Naples, we may mention that, in accordance with the opinions uttered at the Paris Conferences, by the various plenipotentiaries respecting the affairs of the latter kingdom, and the general opinion of all the diplomatists that opportune measures of -clemency in Naples would be desirable, communi cations were recently made to Naples by Austria, France, and England. The Cabinet of the Tuileries used, it is said, a tone more firm and decisive than ' that of Austria, but preserving, at the same time; a manner conciliatory and moderate. As to the English notes they were very peremptory, almost imperious. That which accounts for the tone of _tho English notes is, that in tondom it is 'still remembered that certain engagements were con tracted by the Neapolitan Government towards the Sicilians, and that these engagements were in some degree guaranteed by England. It is said that the King of Naples is painfully impressed by the lan guage of England, and that at first he replied in terms not likely to lead to an arrangement. It is als.o said that he made nearly the same reply to France as to England, Without considering the difference in the tone held by the two countries. Finally, it is stated that Austria, struck with the dangers to which the King of Naples is exposed, has formally expressed its disapproval of his course, and has intimated that, if he does not make a fair measure of concession, it cannot support hire in his resistance to the Western Powers. The King of Naples subsequently. moderated his lan guage, but declined to enter into any engagement. The relations between the Austrian Government and the St. Petersburg Cabinet are stilt extremely cool, and no rapprochement has- yet taken place between the two courts, although the two monarchs are believed to wish for a reconciliation. Our Constantinople advises inform - us that the affair of Montenegro is not yet arranged. Fresh troops are under orders for that country._ Both England and France are much annoyed at the con tinued stay of the Austrians in the Principalities. It will be hardly possible for the Divan to carry on its deliberations with Austrian troops close to them. Fresh communications have been made on the subject. The intelligence received from Athens describes the state of affairs there as calm. The difficulties which had arisen between Admiral Bouet Willamez and the Court are adjourned and not settled. The domestic incidents of the day are numerous, and somewhat melancholy. A coal mine near Wrexham was inundated on Wednesday, and fifteen lives lost thereby. The particulars of this . heartrending disaster will be found in another part of to_day's impression. Meantime we learn that the government inspector of mines is coming down next week, and it is said that a rigid investigation into the cause of the accident will be instituted. It is confidently stated, that the rules for the regu lation of collieries have been violated by one of the workmen driving his pick too near an old working, without first boring to see if water was near. A horrid murder has been committed at the Sampson Colliery, Oldbury, near Birmingham. Two of the men were engaged in sharpen ing their tools, when a dispute took place, and one of them, named Alimark, set upon the other, a mats named Dunn, and inflicted the most frightful injuries on him with a pickaxe.• Dunn expired immediately afterwards, and Alimark made off, and has not yet been apprehended. That scion of the house of Londonderry, Lord Ernest Vane, is again in trouble. He and a number of his brother officers and gentlemen have been playing off practical jokes on a Cornet of the 4th Light Dragoons, now stationed in Brighton. Vane and his associates set upon the Cornet, denuded one side of his face of his whiskers and moustaches, broke his furniture, damaged his clothes, and took his bed from under him, and put it in a quantity of water. In consequence of these disgraceful pro ceedings, on Monday last, General Lawrenson, the General of Brigade, went down to Brighton, and the following officers were ordered under close arrest, viz :—Lord Ernest Vane Tempest, Captain Burt, and Cornet Winstanley, and their swords taken from them. One or two others, who either aided or countenanced the affair, it is said, have slipped themselves out of it. The whole matter, however, will, of course, undergo strict investiga tion, and we hope the parties implicated will receive such measure of punishment as is their due. The funeral of Lord Hardinge took place yesterday. He was buried in the churchyard of the little village of Fordcomte. The funeral was strictly private. The proceedings of the Dock and Health Com mittees call for no comment of ours this week. We understand that the letters and papers by the Overland Mail, which arrived at Marseilles on Wednesday, will be delivered in Liverpool on Saturday morning. From Dublin, we learn that Baron de Robec k has drowned nimself in the Liffey. He was related by marriage to the Duke of Leicester and Lord Cloncurry. THE advance in the Bank of England's rate of discount is said to be well timed, and coupled with the Revenue Returns—which are "highly satis factory "—no less necessary. These assurances coming from " leading' sources will not, however, avert the crash so long predicted as im minent. It lacks the rationality which pervades the commercial world. Men will reason, and act as their practical experience dictates. The Bank's rates of discount have long - ruled this country, and we never remember a moment when the movements of Threadneedle-street had a more remarkable political significance. _ The Bank must comply with the law under which it' exists. It can run no risks. The hazards of the day must be borne by the country. The stock of bullion held in. their coffers must decide the action of its directors. They have no means of ascertaining, any more than we have, whether the Private and Joint Stock Banks throughout the kingdom hold more gold at the present moment than they ever did before. They are as much in the dark as the public are as regards the extent to which the recent drain has operated on the other Banks. They have parted with a certain amount of precious metal, and as the foreign exchanges had turned against this country, they were compelled to raise the minimum discount to 5 per cent. Parliament will have it so at all times, and under all circumstances. It matters not what budgets they vote, or what absorption of our trading and industrial capital they create by excessive taxation, they will,. have money scarce and dear, as by law provided. The Revenue Returns, published on the Ist instant, show that w e bad paid within the year ending the 30th of September; no less than 3,211 ,708/. more than had paid aid at the cor respon di ng period 14,624,6521. in excess o f 18 54, p we ber, h lB5 of 1855, and and 14,641,232/. more than the total of 1853. Now, is it possible to suppose 1 that these large excesses of taxation can be taken from the available means of trade, without prOducing a stringency in the Money Market— calling for an advance in the rate df discount, Ethd bringing about a panic ; ? The 5,000,000/. loan raised within the current year, has helped to increase the intensity of the pressure on the Money Market,.and these things, totally indepen. dent of whatlre see going on. on the Continent, were quite sufficient of themseltes to produce the crisis at hand. The effect the Bank's action will have on the prices of produce, the labour market; and consumption, neddsno enlightened oracle to prognostiCata. "We must economise," is the philo sophical slang of the clay, when such social revul- Sion odollt'iana this econotnising- simply means,• that we must pay less for our necessaries.of life, employ fewer hands, and eat and drink spaiingly. Such counsel must. be taken for what it is worth, and right well the Bears,.whase harvest i•s at hand,TcnOw. it. They are aware_that there is but one prescrip tion for our organic diseaBes, and that w.e must either submit to a prostrate Money Market, and excessive taxation ; or leave all for the then who have their money 'ready to, invest in the general sacrifice of the nation's substance. • • It can be no gratification to us to speak thus 4 forcibly on a subject of deep interest to every class of the community; but" there is incalculable danger in allowing these gigantic social anomalies to pass unnoticed. The unsettled state of the Continent—the natural combustibility of des potism,. and its °Len .recurring explosions—the growing pressure of numbers on the sources of sup ply—the poverty, wretchedness, and ever-festering' discontent of the massf.s, are all matters which must have a most discouraginginfluence on Great . Britain. But why multiply the evils of such a lamentable state of things, by taking from all the great commercial communities, as if by one signal, the means of keeping the springs of industry in motion ? Why leave England dependant on a foreign commodity for mercantile stability, and on the Bank of England for a legal tender circulation ? Gold, Which is at a premium abroad, is mainly the produce of our own dominions; and the silver, which is said to be disappearing from Europe, is. going to enrich our Indian subjects. - The Exchanges, instead of being what is technically called " against us," are, on the contrary. in our favour of British ;India. Our gold will buy more silver , per ounce than if the rate exchange at Paris was in " our favour" as it is termed. And yet, with all this staring us in the face—with the most conclusive proof that British industry, enterprise, and trade, is sweeping away the bullion wealth of every other country, we take alaxm, raise our rates on commerciul accommoda tion, and treat the Empire as though it were on the verge of. bankruptcy. Let our practical business men ponder well over these facts, and ask them selves dispassionately, "how long can such a system " exist ?" BIRKENHEAD POLICE COURT. —This court sat yesterday, when the magistrates disposed of the usual business. There was not one case that came before them that possessed the slightest public Interest. ROYAL INFIRMARY SCHOOL OF DIEDICINE.—The open ing of the session of 1856-7 took place on Wednesday last, when an admirable address was delivered by Mr. Grims dale, one of the lecturers of the school. The lecture room was crowded, and among the anditary. we recognised a large number of the -principal practitioners of the town and neighbourhood.

DESPERATE A SSAULTS.—James Wallace, who said he was a clerk, was charged yesterday before the magistrates, at the police court, for having committed a desperate ass a ult on a female, named Mary C mnor, in a house of bad repute in Shaw's alley. The prisoner, without any apparent provn cation, gave the girl a kick in the hip, and Surgeon Davies, from the Northern dispensary, proved that the hip was completely divided. The prisoner was sent to gaol for three months.—Thomas Griffin, a sailor, was sent to gaol for three months, for haring committed a violent assault on police officer Lowrie, 647, on the 21st lust, at Lower Har rington. The prisoner howled like a bear when he hea d the sentence. THE ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE ROYAL CH ‘RTER.—To one of the unfortunate sufferers, John Ganning, thi s accident has proved fatal, as, after great suffering, h e died in the Northern Hospital yesterday. The other two, Edward Atkins and John Croas'ey, who are likewise in the same establishment, we found, on makieg enquiries last night, that although very severely injured, hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery. From full investi gation into the cause of the accident, no blame can be attached to any person connected with the ship. These men, with a number of others, were at work at the capstan, when, from some unexplained cause, they were overpowered, and hurled together, all receiving more or less injuries, while some were thrown into the water, but were speedily extricated. The other injured parties were taken to their homes, and are fast recovering. This accident did not prevent the ship from sailing, as none of the men belonged to the regular crew of the vessel. THE LATE COLLISION BETWEEN THE MAIL AND ExCEL sIOR STEAMERS. — In reference to the late collision between the above-named steamers, a very lengthened report, by Mr. Mansfield and Captain Schomberg, has just been made to the Board of Trade. The substance of this report is embodied in the following concluding paragraph :.—" In conclusion, we have the honour to report, for the informa tion of the Board of Trade, that the collision of the Mail with the Excelsior is to be attributed to the neglect of the pilot of the latter, first, to keep to starboard of the mid channel of the Mersey ; and, secondly, his neglect to port his helm when he saw the masthead light of the Mail ; that the effect of the collision might have been less serious if the Mail had taken the precaution which she should have done to reduce her speed on entering the Mersey ; and that the collision would not have taken place if the lights of the Mail had, according to the regulations of the Admiralty notice, been placed in such a position as to be all three visible when she was end on to the Excelsior." CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday the coroner held the followieg inquests :—On the body of John Gaining, aged 31, who died in the Northern Hospital in cons qaence of a hurt received on blard the Royal Charter, whilst raising the anchor. *The deceased, who was a lumper, was on board the vessel, and was ungagel with other men raising the anchor, when the chain got foul of something, and the cap stan stated back, the rope or chain chuc'.ing the deceased and' other men over. The jury, in finding a verdict of accidental death, did not think the officer in charge of the department at the time quite blameless. The deceased has lett a young wife and three young children quite unprovided for, and, what adds to the poor woman's misery, is that she ' is near her confinement of A fourth child.—On the body of a foreigner, named Denito. who died suddenly in Frcderick street. Verdict, died by the visitation of Geed.—On the body of Patrick Dooly, who died suddenly in B'enheitn street. On due investigation it was found that death was the result of natural causee. Verdict ace aelingiv. MORE GAROTTINO IN THE STREETS. —It appears th a t the town is full of desperate ruffians, who go about at night committing most violent outrages in the streets. Our police reports every day attest the fact. Yesterday morning, two well-dressed but ruffianly-looking young men, named John Garnett, and James Johnston, were brought up by detectives Povey and M'Cu loch ; on a charge of having committed a desperate assault on Robert Smith, and with having robbed him of his watch. Mr. !illicit de fended the prisouers. On Sunday night, about half-past eight, the prosecutor was going to Edgehill stasisn to meet a friend, when he met the prisoners , who told him they were strangers, and asked him to show them the way to some street, and they would give him a glass. H e refused the latter, but went to show them the way, when they seized him by the neck and treated him very badly, robbing him of his watch and 6s. in money. Next d a y, the prisoners were seen in Rupert-street, and were recognised by the prosecutor, who swore most positively as to the identity of John Garnett as one of the persons who robbed him ; and although he was morally certain of the other, he would not swear beyond doubt to his identity." Mr. Bluck said there was no evidence against Johnston, and as to the other prisoner, he would produce htr.Se, Bolton respectable man, who would show that he could not have been at the place of the robbery at the time stated. He past eight in the e ven i ng . .s o r i called Henry Pashley , a die sink er, of 108, Browntew , hill who sa id Garnett dined and spent the evening at his ' left did a n b o o t u t t h a i n quarter v i d e ii c e given at all e ff ecte d the complainant's testimony. He would remand them for and a week, in order to look for the watch. Remanded accordingly. HE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, FRiDAY.

The policy of the advance yesterday is con sidered sound, and, according to a London evening cotemporary, it further restriction shall be carried out, it will not create surprise but at present the step adopted .may be considered sufficient to produce premonitory caution. As this innovation has only been. resorted to on special occasions, it may be presumed that the directors were fully conscious of its absolute necessity, and it is known ' that the demand for money at the Bank within the last two. days has been exceedingly heavy. The trade . of the country, however, conti n u es healthy, and there is little apprehension of any unsatisfactory 're 'nits, even if the rate should be carried to 51 or 6 per cent. The Funds are now firmer, .Consols being 921 931 for Money, and 934 934 for November. Exchequer Bills are 7s to 10s prem., and East India Bonds, 10s to 14s prem. • A very moderate business was transacted in the London Share Market to-day, and prices were steady.

From the Customs Bill of Entry, we learn that the duties received on corn, flour, and meal, imported into Liverpool, in the months of August and September, 1856, were-32,4131 19 51, viz.: in August, 15,2761 18s 9d ; and in September, 17,1371 Os Bd. The movements in the London Tobacco Trade during the monthjust ended, is thus referred to in Messrs. Grant, Hodgson, & Co.'s circular, issued to-day:— The market has not exhibited any change during last month, sales may be estimated at 500 hhds, including upwards of 70 hhds of export descriptions taken at extreme rates, of new import ex Tempest. 60 hhds of middling export leaf taken for home consumption, and 350 hhds of strips at full quotations. Transactions for the trade have been generally of a limited character, and independent of the general indisposition, under ordinary circumstances, to purchase at this particular period, the recent advance in prices has had the effect of materially contracting business, and recent accounts of the un favourable state of the crop in the West, have not influenced buyers to purchase beyond their immediate wants. The sanguine expectations of importers have not yet been responded to by the trade, and we do not antici pate any improved demand until sampling has made some progress, and a more accurate judgment can he formed as to the future state of the market. A small parcel of strips, ex Tempest, has been sampled, and which may be described as good middling quality, but deficient in colour ; and we are of opinion that this will be generally characteristic of the present year's importation. Yesterday was "settling day" on the Paris Bourse, when there was a general disposition to sell Stock, rather than carry over to the next Account, with a further decline : in the French Funds of lf 5o in the 3 per Cents, and if the per Cents. The rates of continuation .were very heavy, and attain as high as 14 per cent, which deterred many from holding on their stock. In the Railway Market there was likewise a decline, but not so great as it was in the Funds. Lyons declined 7if ; Orleans, 71f; Midland improved 7-if; Grand Central, 101; and Eastern, Old, tq. Bank .Stock declined 151, and Credit Foncier, 301. - The advices from Frankfort mention that the committee appointed by the principal bankers and merchants of that city, to enquire into the currency question, for the purpose of relieving the Money Market, have resolved, at a meeting held on the 27th ult., and which was confirmed at a general meeting of their financial constituents, that the silver coins of one-fourth and one-sixth of the Prussian thaler, French pieces of two and a half francs, and Dutch single florin and two and a half florin pieces, will be received in payment of letters of exchange. The rate of discount on the 30th ult., was 6 per cent. Accounts from Vienna state that affairs on the Bourse at the close of last month were recovering from their depressed condition, but that the specu lators had lost seriously by the fall in the public funds, as well as all other stocks quoted on 'Change. The public, however, had come forward to invest largely at the reduced quotations, which had the effect of checking the downward movement. At the close of the Bourse on the 30th ult. the Austrian funds had recovered l per cent, and the Shares of the New Credit B Atilt had advanced from 324 . to 332. Money was still dear, and the premium upon the precious metals 61 per cent. It is announced by the Austrian Gazette that the government have resolved on adopting this basis of gold for their system of metallic currency, and it is probable that it will be adopted by all the principal states of the Germanic Canfederation. A New DODGE.--A young fellow imposed upon a mer cantile firm in this town, yesterday afternoon, by calling at their office with a parcel (apparently patterns), addressed to the United States, and directed to their care. The charge demanded was 7s 6d ; and as the artful rogue professed the parcel to have come from Paris, and brought a delivery b Kik of the London and North Western Rail way fyr register, it was immediately paid. It is scarcely nee,ss iry to aid that the parcel contained nothing but some tloithles - rubbish ; and as this ingenious yourg gentleman will, no doubt, be trying the same tricks with tradesmen and householders, they would do well to be on their guard. THE BAZAAR, AT BIRR.E.NEIRAD.—thIritiZ the last three days a bazaar has been held at the Town Hall, Birkihead, in aid of the funds of the Vietoria•street Schools, attached to the Hamilton.square Chapel. There were seven stalls, laid out with great taste, and superintended by the ladies belonging to the Rev. James Mann's congregation. The stalls present( d a most brilliant array of tasteful and elegant articles and fancy work, as well as a variety of curiosities in science and natural history. The visitors have been so numerous, and the sales so successful, that nearly £2OO has been received from the disposal of articles, and from admis sion at the doors. Tho general arrangements of the bazaar, and particularly the decorations of the room, were under the superintendence of M r . Ski nner, and a committee of gentlemen interested in the schools. To Mr. Skinner, the committee, and the ladies, who so kindly and so generously came forward with their cantributions, great Traise is due; and, doubtless, the schools will soon be relieved entirely from the incubus of debt. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. The. royal mail steal. ship Cambria arrived in the Mersey at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, with two passengers, 151,218 - dots -in specie, and two days' later news, having left Boston on the 20th ult. She reports the arrival of the steamer Jhersonese at Portland, .on the 18th ult., vizi St. Jhn's and Halifax, from Liverpool. The intelligence brought by the Cambria will be }ound at ample length in the following summary of the leading events froth the departure of the Persia to the sailing of the Cambria. . From Washington we learn that the adtinths• .tration is officially advised that the project of. a treaty between Great Britain and the United States, relative to the Central American question, has beep agreed upon. A copy has been received there, but the contents haVe yet publicly trans, - pirecl. Mr. Dallas had full power en the subject, notwithstanding newspaper statements to the contrary. Attorney-General Cushing has decided that foreign consuls cannot intervene in the set tlement of the estates of their countrymen dying in the United States, except in the way of surveil. lance or advice. They cannot exercise jurisdic tion. The treaty of friendship and commerce between Siam and the United States has been received at the State Department. Despatches from Mr. Dallas make no mention of the Hon. C. P. Villiers being appointed British Minister to the American Government, though the report is gene rally credited. The National Whig Convention was held at Baltimore on the 17th - and 18ch ult , and was attended by delegates from twenty-six States. The proceedings were harmonious so far as we can judge from the telegraphic reports:. The resolu tions deprecate the evil, results- of sectional parties,. in which term they comprise the supporters of Buchanan as well as those of Fremont, and declare that those results can only be' averted by the election of Mr. Fillmore. The nomination of Mr. Fillmore and Donelson by the Know-nothings is cordially approved, and a National Committee is to be appointed, to promote an effective organisation in the country. A grand ratification meeting was. held in Baltimore on the evening of the 18th. At the New York. Republic Convention, held at Syracuse, on the 18th ultimo, the committee on resolutions made their report. Judge Edmonds said they had received requests to pass resolutions embodying the sense of the Convention on, immi gration and naturalisation ; by others, they had been desired to express an opinion on temperance, and Governor Clark's administration. The com mittee, however, thought there was one issue that swallowed up all other issues. They had, therefore, resolved to leave all such matters untouched. He then read the address, which was confined solely to the slavery question, reviving the alleged aggres-. sions of the South, recounting the acts through a long series of years. - It was contended it had gradually aroused Northern indignation, until it had reached a climax and broke forth into a storm that would sweep away all former outrages, and declaring the sole issue with the people is the non-extension of slavery. The address also declares a desire not to interfere with the rights of the South, and a firm determination to resist the spread of slavery over a foot of free territory, and concludes with a resolution endorsing the platform of the Philadelphia Convention. The report was adopted with three cheers, after which, the Convention adjourned sine die. Governor Reeder had published his reasons for quitting the Democratic party, and supporting Fremont. After referring to his close personal and political intimacy with Mr. Buchanan, and his own labours of a quarter of a century in the ranks of the Democratic party, he says :—" These ties are exceedingly strong and hard to sever, especially with one who is naturally of a conservative cast, and slow to change old habits of thought and action, and I have resisted for months the convictions that were urging me . to my present declaration. I have diligently sought reasons and arguments to save myself the pain of breaking up old associa tions, and alienating myself from my old friends, but all in vain ; my love of country and hatred of oppression would not allow my feelings and inclinations either to delude my judgment or still my conscience, and I am compelled to for feit my self respect by committing what I believe to be palpably wrong, or else to enrol myself in opposition to the Democratic party." He then reviews the Kansas troubles, and defines the policy which Mr. Buchanan must, if elected, hold towards that territory, and concludes as follows.- - " Should Mr. Buchanan be elected, and his ad ministration be different from what my judgMent compels Ine to believe, I shall give it my cordial approbation, and my feeble, though willing sup port. As I believe now, I must regard the Demo cratic party as fully committed to Southern sectionalism, towards which for some time past it has .been rapidly tending, and I quit it well assured that my duty to my country demands at my hands this sacrifice of personal feeling." The . intelligence from Kansas is rather more satisfactory. Governor Geary's Inaugural Address, delivered at Lecompton on the 1 ith ultimo, was brief and pointed. It deprecates a continuance of the strife and disorder in the territory, caused by the illegal and unjustifiable interference of other States; promises to do justice to all without party considerations ; and expects obedience to the laws of the territorial legislature, until they are repealed. A proclamation was issued on the same day, order ing that the volunteer militia he discharged, and commanding that all armed bodies amen disband or quit at once the territory. Win. T. Coleman, President of the San Francisco Vigilant Committee, was arrested at New York on the 18th ult., on complaint of James Maloney, on a charge of being instrumental in expelling him from San Francisco. Coleman was held in 50,000 dols bail. A relief party had left Mi;waukee for Kensae.. They go out under Prof. Daniels, of the National Committee. They will take out clothing and arms for the relief of the citizens of Kansas. Private advices from Mexico, via Havana, mention reports of a serious difficulty between that country and the British Minister, and that the latter had demanded his passports. Orders had been transmitted to Havana for the British squadron there to proceed to Vera Cruz to enforce the demand of England. The commander of the British steamer Tartar, at Havana, was collecting a naval force, and would sail imme diately. We have interesting intelligence from New Brunswick. The St. John papers are advocating a change in the system of laying out and settling wild lands in the province, in order to induce emigration. The Chronicle suggests the reserva tion of every other lot, the proceeds of which when enhanced in value by the settlement of the alternate lots—to be applied to railway purposes. COMMERCIAL. There was no change of importonce to r-port in the state of the money market at New York. The demand was pretty active, and rates of discount firm. Exchange on England was steady at 1001. Since the sailing of the Persia cotton had advanced lc per lb, with sales of 4.000 bales in the three dale. The breadstuff trade was dull, and flour was 20c per birrel lower. Wheat and Indian corn were also declining. In provisions there was no change of consequence. Freights were firm, on the basis of 1 for cotton to Liverpoo!. LATEST MARKETS. NEW YORK.
