LATER FROM RIO DE JAnErRo.-The brig Mary

LATER FROM RIO DE JANEIRo.-The brig Mary
Perkins, Capt. Chase, arrived last night from Rio
de Janeiro in the short passage of 50 days. Capt.
C. brought no papers of recent dates, but he says
that the harbor is crowded with American vessels,
bound to California, and that the streets of Rio
were swanning with Yankees. The report that
the Emperor intended giving the Americans ban
quet is contradicted, Capt. G. says that these
" sons of freedom" INDUCED in such freaklsh ex-
travagancies as only frghted the town from its
propriety but scared the Emperor himself almost
out of his senses. His majesty probably intended to
have given them kind reception on their arrival,
but their free habits apparently accorded i'll with
his imperial notions. number of the Californians
were arrested for riotous conduct, and placed in
prison.
Capt. Chase brought us the following letter from
the passengers of the ship South Carolina, bound
for California which left this port on the Oath ia
nuary. The letter, no doubt, will be gratifying to
the friends and relatives of those on board of that

GRAND COALITION BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATS AND
SocIALIsTs.-A singular coalition has recently been
made in Wisconsin, between the two sections of
democracy-the hunkers and barnburners The
items Of this coalition have been furnished to the
world by the great organ of socialism in this coun-
try, the Tribune; and, furthermore, we perceive
that the socialist leaders here join heart and hand
in the coalition of the new democratic elements.
A similar movement to that in Wisconsin is now
preparing in this city, and throughout the State
and we believe that hunkers, barnbumers, and
socialists mean all to unite together, including all
the uras of all kinds in politics and religion, so
to carry all before them in the city and State at
the next elections. This is very interesting
movement, and we shall notice its progress here
after

SLAVE EMANCIPATION CONVENTION IN KENTUCKY.
"A convention, to adopt measures for the gradual
emancipation Of slavery in Kentucky, was lately
held In Louisville, in that State. The recent re-
markabe letter of Mr.. Clay, upon this subject, has
given great impetus to this movement, which
may lead to some curious Developments and re-
suits hereafter. A certain portion of the people Of
Kentucky seem, however, to be opposed to all mea-
sures for the gradual emancipation of the slaves,
and for their re-exportation to the of Africa
There is BESIDES another portion which are hostile
to such measures considering them not only as
impracticable, but as dangerous-intermeddlin
with the institutions of the South.
We doubt much of the utility which can result
from this convention upon the matter of slavery.
The idea of sending back again to Africa all the
slaves in KENTUCKY as to get rid of them, appears
to us preposterous and impracticabe. Let US see,
however, what the kettle of fish will yield.

FORREST AND MAcREADY.-Forrest is now play
ing at the Broadway; and Macready Is to make his
last appearance at the Astor Place theatre, on Mon
day evening next Both of these gentlemen will
thus be playing at the same time in this city Some
limitations have been given that the indiscreet
friends of Mr.. Forrest intend to make rumpus on
the appearance of Mr.. Macready, and thus avenge
upon him the criticisms of the London press, made
upon the American artist, some years ago. We
have given all the different steps of the dispute be-
tween these two artists, and particularly the last
singular and remarkable letter which was written
by Mr.. Forrest, sent to Pittsburgh and published
there For ourselves, we believe that the last letter
reveals the whole of all the dispute It had
the certificate Of Henry Wikoff who has retailed
to Mr. Forrest all the title .tatte he had picked up
in London in relation to Mr.. Fonblanque Forster,
and others. Ii seems that this is all the foundation
Mr. Forrest has had for the impressions produced
upon his mind in relation to the share of Mr. Ma
cready In thelattacks Of the press upon him. Now,
we are perfectly satisfied, and many of our cotem-
poraries have expressed the same belief that the
tatling "reminiscences of Wikoff are altogether I'M
worthy of credit, and that Mr.. Macready, on that
occasion, could never have taken the trouble to
get man to write an article against Forrest We
are perfectly satisfied, from the character of the
certlfer and the former passages OF his history,
that there is not word of truth in the whole story;
and that as soon as Mr.. Fonblanque Cor his frends)
see il, he will give the whole an emphatic and de-
cided contradiction.
The whole dispute between these two great
men has been fomented by malicious little Iags,
who has been offended with Macready and has
attempted to work up and excite Forrest, in order
TO crafty his own petty, venomous, little malice.
Now, In such position of things, we venture to
'hrow out the suggestion, that the mutual friends
oil 'hese two great men should, in some way or
ou'er' nave meeting, and confer together upon
TINS controversy, hear both sides, receive mutual
explanations, and shsuld a reconciliation of these
unhappy disputes between them be the result. il
would certainly be better for both of them. than to
remain in the position in which we have seen them
for some time past-writing the hardest and hit.
teres things against each other. Let us see if we
cannot produce some sort of pacification; bv some
such negotiation.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP SARAH SANDS
The auxiliary steamship Sarah Sands Captain
Thompson, arrived yesterday, from Liverpool, with
upwards of two hundred passengers, all in fine
health. After being out five days, she broke the
piston rod and cylinder, the propeller having got
foul OF something while in motion. Her cargo
Is IN good order. She has proved herself good
ssiler, as her propeller retarded her progress very
much from the time she was unable TO use it.

LATER FROM ST. DoMINGo.-The brig Stephen
G. Bass, Capt. Winchester, arrived last evening,
by which we have advlces to the 18th ult, from
ST. Domingo City.
We are informed by Capt w. that when he
sailed, President Soulouque was within sixteen
miles of the city, with army of twenty thousand
well disciplined troops. He had taken all the
towns on his march, and was expected to attack
the city in day or two.
The inhabitants were taking every possible
means Of leaving the city number of British
vessels were crowded with refugees, and large
quantity of money and valuable property had been
placed in the houses of the American and British
Consuls.
The city was almost entirely deserted of women
and Children and, no doubt, it is, by this time, in
the possession of Soulouque, and from the charac-
ter of the man, it is supposed much blood has heen
shed.
Captain w. states that he had much difficulty in
getting a clearance and enough provisions for his
voyage.

SOCIALISM IN ACTIoN-NEwsPApER STEALING.
Proudhon, the great Socialist leader inIFrance, for
merly announced as the cornerstone of his new
system of society, that cal property was rob-
berry" That is to say, that there is no such
thing IN existence as the right of property, and
when any one wants what another has got, he has
perfect right to reach forth his hand and help
himself as he may desire. Such conduct, under
the old CODE was called stealing, and met with its
deserved punishment in the Peni,entlary. But the
new philosophy and modern socialists are going to
mend all these absurd and old notions about pro-
perry in anything.
In the newspaper business, when any journals at
at a vast expense, have published exclusive intel
ligence of an important character, their cotempo-
raries generally, in copying the intelligence give
credit to the journals to whom they are indebted
for it; and if such is ever appropriated with
out such credit being given, in the language of the
craft such appropriation is called &c newspapcr
stealing, "-appropriating other persons labors
without giving them the due credit. The great
socialist organ of this city-the T1buns-has
gwen pregnant proofs of the sincerity of its
belief in the socialist doctrine and its won.
derful apothegm, that there is no such thing
us property, by appropriating to itself our cx-
elusive intelligence from California, without
giving the least intimation of the quarter from
whence he borrowed it. This is, certainly,
socialism in practice, and we give our philosophical
contemporary credit for carrying out his the.ry
in common life with such success. These philo-
sophes have never hitherto succeeded in their
experiments Of making philosophical associations
and working communities. Our contemporary
seems to be more successful. We give him credit
for thus beginning to put in practice the prin-
cipes Of his religion and philosophy for the benefit

cieiy.
