ARRIVAL Oh THE GEORGE LAW.
This vessel arrived at this por. at late honr
last light. BY Ter we have received from our
responder a, Acapulco news confirming the inteli-
gence recently received TO the progress Of Ava
rez and the revolutionary army toTards the capital
OF Mexico. We haze also received by this arrival
later rews from tie Isthmus Of Panama and the
WRECKED AND MISSING STEAMSHIPS.
The painful feeling Of anxiety occssioned by the
protracted voyage Of tie steamship City of Pha.
delphia, bound from Liverpool to Philadelphia, is
at last allsyed. A telegraphic despatch received
from Halifax yesterday announces that she strand
cd on the rocks cT Cape Race on the 7sh instant.
Tie passengers end crew were saved, the cargo
will be rescued in damaged STATE, but the vessel
tt..ff .osra - h,r
valued q. s?00, 000-nili 10 gubt prove a total
loss
The steamship Petrol, from Glasgow for this
port left Greenock on the IN instant, and she is,
therefore, several da behind nee time. Her ION
arrival begins to create approximations as to her
safety, though we cannot see that there is as yet
good grounds for serious alarm.
THE RECENT FoEGEgIEs IN THIS CITY.
William Kissane, one Of the parties implicated in
the charge OF destroying the steamboat Martha
Washington, whereby large sum Of money was
alleged to have been fraudulenty obtained from Sc.
veral companies On insurance policies, was yester
day arrested at Cincinnati, charged with the heavy
forgeres in this city that have recently been per
petIated An examination is to take place on
Thursday. 1t is probable one Of the charges brought
against kissane is that Of the forgery on the Bank
OF the Republic, for nine thousand dollars which is
no doubt fresh in the recollection Of our readers
MORE RELIGIOUS RIOTS.
Another of those lamentabe outbreaks Of religious
fansteism that we have had of late so frequently
to chronicle, occurred at Cincinnati on Monday
night, in the Twentieth ward of that city. It
appears that the Protesants attempted to establish
o Sabbath school in the aforesaid ward. From
some cause, unaccountable to us, the German Ro.
man Catholics took umbrage at the proceeding, al
tackled The school house, and threatened to Kill
their opponents Pistol shots were fired during the
disturbance, by which three persona were wounded.
We would recommend the Beard o. Home Mission,
to send force out there to nculcate, if possible,
the maxms Of true Christianity.
phe Syracuse Anti. slavery wing Re. orga-
niza'ion and the whigs OF the south.
The article which we publish this morning
from the Richmond (Va) Wig, on the pro
ceedings of our late Wing State Convention,
will challenge the calm and dispassionate atten-
ton of all our readers with whom the mainten
ance Of the peace aud harmony Of the Union is
the paramount idea. We doubt not that the
views Of our Virginia contemporary concerning
the effect of our wing Syracuse platform in the
South will be sustained by the wing press and
the whg party from Virginia to Texas. The
work is done. twas virtually accomplished be-
fore the mongrel meeting of the wings at SYRIA
cuse. Their ticket and their resolutions are
but the formal proclamation of the official dis
solution Of the late unsatisfactory copartner-
ship between the wings of the North aud the
wings Of the South of Mason and Dixon's line.
This is the climax of series of anti-savery
affiliations with the Northern wing party, run
ming through the last twenty-five years OF the
political Vaccinations of W. H. Seward The
principal landmarks in this progressive moge
ment to disruption are the Texas question, the
Wilmot proviso for Oregon, the war with
Mexico, the nomination and election of General
Taylor, the composition Of his Cabinet the re-
pudiation Of Henry Clay, and last of all, tn
reputation of Webster aud Fillmore. on the
express ground of their declared hostility to
le anti-slavery, sectional and seditous prime
pies Of Seward and his allies. The results Of
the last presidential election North and South
left nothing more to be done in order to con
8 immate the dissolution of the national whig
organization than formal declaration, North
or South. Of the existing fact.
The wings of the North have formally de-
creed this final separation. They have done il
in State convention at Boston. in State
convention at Syracuse. and in numerous
county. city and town conventions from Cape
Cod to Minnesota. The act was broadly fore,
sbadowed in the votes OF Northern wings in
both houses ofCongress upon the Nebraska bill

either house in support oil the measure not
one. The eubcrnatorial ticket aud The rcsolu-
tons Of the Whg omnium gatie, nm leave no
