when they ere driven TO the wall end forced to
Iiquidate, they Will, however solvent they ere
shown to be at present, be unable to pay one hun
bred cents on the dollar. A this conviction
gradually presses itself upon the public mind the
efforts to chin through the crisis will be relaxed,
and many merchants who now assume their uli-
mate safety beyond question win cease to struy-
gle and see the necessity of liquidatiny
at any cost And the number Of those who
will be driven to seek q compromise at any
sacrifice will be go great that it viii at least APP
pear to comprehend the entire commercial class
of the county. AS natural consequence, it
will involve the most thorough social changes.
When every mau has fine houses and carriages to
sell. there will be none to buy; Injuries will fall
far below the cost of production; society will
adapt itself to more economical usages, aud the
whole habits and manners OF the nation will I'M
oergo q change. Nor will the revolution stop
here. When every man is in liquidation, the po-
litical questions which will engross public atten-
ton will turn on banks, Bankrupt law, cur
rtncy and the tariff and the old questions Of
slavery and so-forth will cease to attract notice.
peIties and political Issues of the nation
We have yet to see how the revulsou will
affect the people of England and France OF
course it will lead TO similar financial throes
there; but the chances are that these will be but
the first ard least important OF its consequences.
Happening simultaneously with the outbreak of
a vastly expensive Indian war in England it is
not easy to see how il may, or rather how it may
not affect the already unquiet spirit Of the people
of England, to whom the re-conquest of India
presents no attractions to compensate for increased
taxation. And in France where it is quite likely
to precipitate the final c'l6ute of the Credit Mobi
Ier, and to explode the vain theories by which
the Bank of France and the other financial insti-
buttons of Paris have been sustaining themselves,
public credit, and the Imperial regime for the
last two or three years-one cannot venture to
say what terrible results it may not cause. Re
volutions have often flowed from less sources

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the German
democracy Of New York city was held last evening
at Pythagorss Hail. Canal street. The special object
of this meeting was the ratification Of the resou-
tons and memorial passed by the regular meeting OF
the German Democratic Central Club, held on the
l4th inst. The immortal here referred to will be
found in our advertising columns of this day, aud
contains strong remonstrsnce against the nomina-
tons made in pursuance OF the primary elections.
This was q regular meeting called by the German
Central Club the President of which re used to give
his sanction to a sham German meeting called to
meet at the Shakspere Hotel, and the members
repudiated any connection whatever with that meet
ing, which they designate as consisting of parties
acting in opposition to German views, and not on
behalf Of nor according to the sentiments of the
German Democratic Central Club.
Both parties claim to have triumphed in the recent
election in Kansas. The Chicago Times of the l4th
inst, however, claims to have intelligence from
Kansas which warrants the announcement of the
election of Mr. Parrot the free State candidate for
delegate to Congress, by majority of not less than
five thousand The Legislature it Is also stated, will

The contest III Ohio has been SO close that the re-
suit can only be known from official returns The
democrats are sanguine of victory.
frightful catastrophe happened on the Centrsl
Railroad on Thursday evening about six miles west
of Syracuse. 1t seems that the recent rains had
weakened an embankment at Nine Mile Greek 30
that when the train came along it gave way, and
the cars were precipitated one upon the other into
the stream. To add to the horror of the scene the
mail caught 6ie and all the mail bags save one
were destroyed. Our account of the accident is
very imperfect, owing to suspension of Geographic
operations from some cause; but We are informed
that of sixty passengers who were in the cars two
three were killed outright and dozen others
were shockingly mutated. Their names are given
under the Geographic head.
A number of prisoners were to have been SEN
fenced yesterday in the Court of Sessions but they
were remanded till Monday, the Recorder has not
recovered from his indisposition. Helen c. Wash
ington, fashy darkey, pleaded guilty to stealing
dress worth 800 from Mrs. Carroll Houston street
Judge Russell sent her to the penitentiary for one
year. Thomas Higsby was convicted of larceny in
stealing gold watch, valued at $3.50, from Joseph
o. Frost, on the l4th of September, while passing
through Broadway: State prison two years Frances
co Williams, Spaniard, and q segar manufactures,
was convicted Of purloining valuable gold watch
and $50 in money from Abraham Kline, Ludlow
street. The City Judge, in passing sentence, said
that Williams was notorious offender, and that he
had been in court on previous occasion "under the
most infamous circumstances" State prison five
years. VIM Wilkinson pleaded guilty to stealing
watch: penitentiary one year. Charles vallot con-
fessed to having stolen valuable clock and Bible
and prayer book: remanded for sentence. The jury
VINO tried John johnson, charged with felonious
assault upon Andrew Mckinney, could not agree,
and were discharged in the afternoon.

TRo0rs FOR ISDiA.-Lord Napier informed our
correspondent the other day that no applications
on the part of American citizens 10 serve in the
Indian war could be entertained, because the
British government had determined to dispense
with the services Of foreigners during that war.
This determination on the part Of the govern
ment of England does not well harmonic with
the condition OF things both in Great Britain aud
the United States. In England, at latest accounts
the government was making frantic but uusuc.
cesaful efforts to raise troops for service in India
1t had even been seriously proposed to take the
men miliiners from the dry goods stores and
make soldiers Of them almost per force Az for
the agricultural classes who are the only really
good material for an army|t Is stated that all
the recruiting sergeants in England have not
been able to raise single regiment since the
Indian war broke out.
Now, as it is quite plain that, unless
England intends to give up India, she must
raise somehow, at least az many more
soldiers as che has now on foot, it would
seem to eyince but little forethoueht and vigi
lance on the part of the government that no steps
wardness of the British yeomanry at this crisis
cannot be compensated by supply of soldiers
from elsewhere.
We have, in the three cities of Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, at the very least 10000
able-bodied men who will be out of work this
winter, and who would jump at prospect of a
campaign in India, with fair remuneration. In
the West and on the Mississippi 100000 men are
to be had for the asking. Most Of these men are
good shots and far better material for making
soldiers than the artisans of Manchester or the
street boys Of London. They will fight, they
will endure any hardship, they will obey intelli-
gently. AS to the legality of enlistng them, we
take that to be unquestionable, as the Indian
States or Rajabs are not officially known to our
government; and even if it were not, no sane
official in this country would interfere to prevent
these poor fellows earning livelihood, and
thus cave them from doing mischief here this
winter.

RE-NoMINATION OF MAYOR WOoD.-The cordial
denomination of Fernando Wood for Mayor of
this city, by the united democracy, is remarka-
BILE and significant movement 1t is remarkable
considering the late divisions and factions and
intestine personal squabbles Of Tammany Hall
and very remarkable considering the proceedings
of the democracy at Syracuse in the nomination
of their State ticket for we thus perceive that
the pulse Of the party does not sympathize with
the qualifications of their State Convention; and
this denomination of Mayor Wood is Insignificant Of
democratic fusion in this city, which will ire
sistibly carry everything before it, in the Novem
Der as well as in the December election. The
Know Nothings and the niger worshippers may
operate separately, or they may combine-the
result will be the same for Oh over whclming ma
jority of the people of this corporation are with
the democracy and their city standard bearer, as
against the impostonsand usurpations of the last
Seward Legislature.
Several other things will operate to break
down both the republicans and the Know Nothings
in the city and throughout the State. The popu-
larity of Mr.. Buchanan's administration
dead failure of the bleeding Kansas" agitation
the tremendous pressure upon politicians
and parties of the financial revulsion, and the
revolutionary drift of the late Pennsylvania and
Ohio elections are among these things In fact
all the signs of the times favor the presumption
that the democrats will not only sweep this city
in the approaching elections, but will also carry
the State.
The denomination OF Mayor Wood is well
deserved compliment to man who has been tried
in the Office, and proved to be capable, firm and
efficient officer. He has proved his courage and
his tenacity in defence of our municipal rights,
and these qualities will insure us, in his re cleo
ton, the advantages of Mayor able in any
probable emergency, to maintain law and order
With the election of Legislature that will have
the will and the power to remove some Of the oh.
structions Of the Seward oligarchy, our Mayor
and our city authorities will be fully competent
to preserve the peace and good order Of the city.
The democracy have now fair field before
them; for we repeat that, with everything in
their favor, they can, and most probably will not
only sweep the city, but carry the State in No
| vembcr.
