expected steamers from Europe 1t is not certain
that the Arabia left Liverpool on the 3lst ult She

The anti. Fillmore branch Of the American party
exposed to the Philadelphia nomination of Fillmore
and Denelson-met and organized yesterday, in the
Apollo rooms, Broadway. The morning session
was occupied IN the preliminary proceedings of or
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Johnston, of Pennsylvania,
m the chair as temporary presiding officer. There
were some two hundred and fifty delegates present,
comprising many distinguished names in the party
In the afternoon session. before the formal opening of
proceedings, ex-Mayor Conrad, of Philadelphia and
Lieutenant Governor Ford, of Ohio were introduced
70 the Convention and made speeches, in which
Kansas affairs, the Sumner outrage and abohtonism
generally were discussed. The acceptance by Mr..
Fillmore of the Philadelphia nomination-the no
tice of which appeared in the afternoon editions of
the jOurnas-elicited much conversation and seemed
generally to produce disappointment. 1t is not yet
determined whether this Convention shall or shall
not make nomination. The prevailing sentiment
seems to be in favor of Messrs Fremont and Banks:
The Pennsylvania delegates are understood to be in
favor Of Judge Mclean and most of the New
Workers in favor of " Live Oak" George Law. It is
questionable, however, whether the nomination will
not be deferred until the action of the niger wor-
ahippers at Philadelphia next week. becomes known,
and then appoint committees Of conference be-
tween the two Conventions. In the afternoon ses-
sion speeches we're made by Judge Conrad, Of Phla-
aelphia; Lieut.. Gov. Ford, of Ohio; Mr.. George 81.
Andrews, Of New York; William Baker, Of Boston,
and others. Most of the speeches were decidedly
abolitionist in their spirit and letter. and of
them indicated union and cooperation with the
niger worshippers. A permanent organization
was formed, and Judge Conrad, Of Philadelphia,
was elected President of the Convention. After a
second speech from that gentleman the Convention
adjourned till this morning, at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Fillmore accepts the Know Nothing nomna-
ton as candidate for the Presidency, and adopts
he platform put forth by the National Council, in
. long letter, the concluding and material portion

The Daniel Webster has arrived at New Orleans
with California advices TO the 18th utmo, and later
Intelligence from Nicaragua. The news from San
Francisco is highly exciting. Mr.. James King Of
William, extensively known banker, but more
recently editor of the San Francisco Bulletin, was
shot on the l4th ult., by a man named Casey, and
died TWO days afterwards. This event. together with
Others of like character, exasperated the citizens
to an unusual degree. The terrible Vigilance Com
mittee convened to the number of three thousand
marched TO the prison, and from thence took Casey
and gambler named Cora, the murderer Of Gen.
Richardson, and conveyed them to the committee
rooms, where, on the sailing of the steamer, the
committee were celebrating The general be-
lief was that the murderers would be exc
cuted according to the code Of Judge Lynch.

throughout the State, and the extrpaton

The Congress closed its sittings IN May, and new
electoral division of the republic was ordered q

This change was looked on as very important to the
well being Of the country, as the right Of rule was
rapidly descending towards the hands Of the blacks
and rowdies. Railroads and telegraph lines were
being fostered and encouraged The country was
very quiet. From St. Thomas we are informed of
