ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
New York, Sept. 19, 1874

NEW DIRK, sept. ~, lS4l.
The Wing State Central Committee have
issued call for a STATE CONVENTION to assem-
bic at Syracuse on Wednesday the 9Th of Oc-
tober, to propose for the fall contest, and accu-
rately "define the position of the party. The
call reflects the spirit of the Congressional Ad-
dress. The time is so short that | doubt whe-
Their full cow ention can be rallied.
The trial of MoLEoD comes on at Utica on
Monday week. The Toronto papers mention
that commission is in that vicinity collecting
testimony to prove an abb for the prisoner
understand that the testimony against him is
likely to be more formidable than has been an
| ticipated.
The steamship CALEDONIA arrived at Boston
Yesterday morning in ID days and 1S hours from
| Liverpool. The Acadia went out in II days
10 hours, being the shortest passage ever made.
The news by the Caledonia had been mainly
anticipated by the Great Western The chief
| item of interest is the structure of the Tory
Cabinet, which Sir Robert Peel has nearly COM
pleted. 1t looks strong, so far. Peel is simply
First Lord of the Treasury, severing the Chan
cellorship of the Exchequer from the Premier
ship, and confding it to Right Hon. Henry
Goulburn. Lord Wharnclife is President Of
| the Councils Lord Lyndhurst Lord High Chan
celor Duke of Buckingham Privy seal, Earl Of
ham Home Secretary, Sir H. Hardinge Sc
cretary of War, Earl De Grey Lord Lieuten-
ant of Ireland. Sir Howard Douglas comes
out Governor General of the Canadas. The
Duke of Wellington takes a place in the Cab
net without office.
Differences among the victorious host, aside
from the natural rivalry for office, already make
themselves manifest. Blackwood's Magazine
and the High Church Tories protest against all
concessions to the Radical spirit of the age
The London Times and its class are on the OPP
posite tack, and the Times asserts that Peel
will move modification of the Corn Laws. He
has difficult course before him, but he will
thread its mazes successfully if any man can.
Mr. w elles, the great American banker, died
at Paris onthe 30th of August.
| M. de Bodisco, Russian Minister at Wash
ington, is soon to be recalled and sent to Vienna.
Mrs Fanny Kemble Butler is to reappear at
the Covent Garden Theatre soon.
There is a later arrival from China, but no
news of interest The difficulties had not been
adjusted nor did they give promise Of it.
No change in the Cotton Market, rather de-
preston if any thing. The Grain Harvest is
coming in better than was anticipated, but prices
are little affected yet
Lord Morpe,h is coming over to make the tour
of the United States and Canada,
Great distress exists in all the Manufacturing
Districts of England.
Hon. c.. c.. CAMBRELENG, late U. S. Ambas-
sador to Russia, came home in the Great West
ern.
The Great Western brought 10 passengers
the Caledonia about 100; leaving 33 at Halifax,
and taking thence 81 TO Boston.
The Caledonia brought 1850 lotterS-ao bout
5000 for this city, 600 for New Orleans.
We had most daring burglary and robbery
here this morning, about o'clock. The rich
jewelry and silver store OF the Rock"eIlS' IN
der the Astor House, was entered through the
front window. the shutter being pierced and the
heavy iron bar forced up and out of its position.
The robbers were discovered in mid-career by a
watchman, and one of them captured. Two
others escaped with about 81, 900 worth of plum
y der. The captive is an old burgler, recently par,
$ doned out of the State Prison

gled goods were made IN TINS Guy last evening
