In the Democratic papers of New York, there was published last Thursday, a formidable document emanating from a Committee appointed at a of the Executive Committee of tbe New York Democratic Vigilant Association," to collect the details of the history of the affair at Harper's Ferry, and if it pnove fhat there be any connection between the conspirators and any political body at the Xorth, t'at sum of money be appropriated to disseminate the facts, and to make known to our Southern brethren our utter condemnation of the instigators of the movement." A very fair idea of this startling manifesto is conveyed in the following capital take off," which we copy from the New York Evening Post. The following copy of the Manifesto of Fifth Avenue Democrats was found by our Reporter lying around loose in the neighborhood of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. It appears to be intended, judging from some memoranda in pencil on tbe back, for circulation privately among the faithful and is a little more strongly drawn than the manifesto published in this morning's papers. We submit the document for the edification of the public manifesto of the fifth avenue association of JjFVIOILANT AND HIGHLY RESPECTABLE DEMOCRATS. Fellow-citizens At a meeting of this association, held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on the 18th the following resolution was unanimously adopted Resolved, That, Inasmuch as the great majority, of the democratic party are unable to read the newspapers, and utterly destitute of intellect sufficient to enable them to form an opinion on subjects of vital political moment; and Inasmuch as the late terrible insurrection at Harper's Ferry alTords the most delightful stock of political capital to which the democratic party has fallen heir for many years past, it is deemed advisable to appojna committee of highly respectable democrats to collect twwacts (or all such as can, by any possibility, be made to redound to the glory of our beloved but decaying organization) in relation to the late dreadful revolution in Virginia, and to lay the same before tbe public at the earliest possible moment.

In pursuance of the above resolution, beloved, your committee have procured a copy of the New York Herald, and have made copious extracts from the same we having the most implicit confidence in the integrity and uprightness of that guardian of the democratic party. Your committee have also made personal examinations of Old Brown and several colored gentlemen engaged in this terrible attempt to overthrow the government of the United States. We have procured (through the politeness of President Buchanan) one of Browns carpetbags containing large quantities of treasonable correspondence, going to show the complicity of the leaders of the Republican party in this nefarious and attempt to blow up the confederacy of the states. We subjoin a few of these letters, by which it may be perceived tnat tue organization tor tne destruction of the government embraced mil lions of northern men, and was only prevented from carrying out its devastmg designs by fortunate mistake of Mr. Brown's.

Egypt, 1869. Dear Brown I will try and be at home in time for our little atfalr in Virginia. I propose bringing a company of Zouaves to assist us. Go on in your glorious work. I seud $2.

Yours, W. H. Skwabd. Cleveland, 1S59. Dear Sir I will be at Harper'B Ferry with 20,000 Republicans iu time to carry out our plan.

Senator Wade will shoot the President, and Grow will blow up the Capitol. It's aU right. Mum's the word. Yours, J. H.

G. Dear Brown 1 will be on hand with Governor Banks and the Massachusetts militia. Don't be frightened. I enclose $3. Horace Bays he won't fight, but sends a copy ol the tribune gratis.

On to victory! Wilsok. We do not deem it necessary to present any more letters to show the traitorous designs of the Republican party. It is a party of black hearted treasonable fanatics, and it must be crushed ere it be too late, and the gloomy shades of slavery's might settle upon the hopes and as pirations of our glorious fraternitv. But these acts are the natural offspring of the principles of that arch-traitor Wm. H.

beward. Allow us to call your attention to a little affair which has not been noticed sufficiently. We allude to the di abolical principles enunciated by that Beelzebub in human form, the aforesaid Seward, in his speech at Rochester, wherein he tleclared that there was an "irrepressible conflict" between the North and South that it must on forever and ever, or until one or the otlu-r succumbed. That the North must wage etern; i war upon the South nillace. burn, shoot, devi.

rtate and utter ly exterminate southern homes and families and that slavery must be extinguished in seas of southern blood. We refer you also to the outpouring of that man of blood, Horace Greeley, who disseminates in his paper the most atrocious sentiments and I also to those incendiary publications, the Courier and Lnqmrer and the Evening Post. Fellow Democrats What is the moral of all this? It is that you must work it up into the most available capital. We must triumph over the traitorous and blood-thirsty Republicans. Need, we urge upon every virtuous and high-minded Democrat, the necessity of seeing to it that this mighty treason is crushed at once and the Democratic party restored to its proud position, from which we grieve to.

say, its somehow of late wonderfully fallen. Deniocrats! Rally to thetupport of Truth See that no Republicans get their names registered if it can possibly be and thus, by -a vigorous effort, may virtue triumph, and freedom reign triumphant over a ransomed people. Bludgeons and whiskey will be furnished, for the purpose of facilitating the expression of the popular will on election day, on application at Tammany Hall. Respectfully submitted, Van Boozenbekgh, Chairman. Potifhar, Secretary.

English Investments In Sttaes. the United The London Times, in its City Article of the 14th instant, commenting on the difficulties encountered by Englishmen in searcli of investments, says "America, which might at this juncture have afforded the most suitable field for the employment ot British capital, to the advantage not merely of the two countries, but of the world, is at present not to be seriously named as a competitor for our financial confidence. Her speculative securities were thounht a year or two ago to have reached the point of greatest disfavor, but tlue nasi twelve months have shown that such was not tlie case. New York writers will probably attribute this to any but the true cause, yet they will scarcely attempt to demonstrate that British capitalists, to whom national prejudice is little known when the safe acquisition of an extra one or two per cent, interest is in question, have ever manifested any want ot credulity so long as even credubty could hold on. Canadian investments.

owing to the latest experiences of the Grand Trunk and Great Western Railway lines, are not much removed from the ordinary American category. The Times concludes thus That no outlet of any magnitude for our super abundant means is likely tor some time to oner itseii, ana mat consols ana ordinary rtailway stock must continue in increased demand until the commercial prosperity of the country takes a turn, or new signs of war create alarm, or prices nave attained tbe mama point, when the public. now so discreet, will rush into any novel impos ture mat may be concocted tor them. A Declination. The Hon.

John B. Skinner having been nom inated by the Democrats of Wyoming for County Judge, has published the following letter of de clination: Wyoming, Oct. 20, 1859. To the Democratic Central Committee of the County of Wyoming. Gentlemen, Having been informed that I was yesterday nominated by the Democratic Convention for County Judge for the county of Wyoming, I embrace the first moment to give no-tiee that I most respectfully decline the nomination.

The Democratic Convention for the Eighth Judicial District having decided, wisely, as I think, to make no nomination for a Justice of the Supreme Court, I had hoped i'j all parties would unite in support of the able incumbents whose terms expire on the first day of January next. Alexander S. Johnson, an eminent Judge, of the Court of Appeals, Martin, Grover, an able, upright Justice of the Supreme Court, and Harlow L. Comstock, our very acceptable County Judge, having been re-nominated believing them to be qualified for their respective stations -worthy of the confidence of the community, and impressed with the conviction that the conflicts of party ought not to reach the Judiciary. I shall mo3t cordially support them at the ensuing election.

Very respectfully, Your obedient Servant, John B. Skinner. dp" It is stated, by way of Brussels, that on the occasion of the visit of the Emperor to Bordeaux, most of the Italian residents in the town were arrested during' his stay, but were released after his departure. These arrests were made on account of a dispatch havine been re ceived from the Prefect of Algiers, stating that four passports had been stolen from.the Sardinian Consulate in that place, with which four Italians had started for France, and passed luiuugu jnoiitpeuer, wnere iurtner trace of them was lost.

We publish the story of an extraordinary and fearful encounter by the officers of a ship with a desperate gang of eastern pirates, whom they were conveying from Singapore to Bombay. It appears from the report of the London Times that Captain Correya, of the British ship Ararat, a bark of about two hundred and ninety tons, had just landed a batch of Bombay convicts at Singapore, and was to take back a return freight of Singapore and Penang convicts to Bombay twelve men from each place. The Ararat was about to set sail Hpon her homeward expedition, when the Queen's steamer Esk, Captain Sir R. Maclure, steamed into Singapore with two piratical junks in tow, which had been caught prowling about the China Sea. There were fifty-two prisoners on board, and Captain Correya was informed that he might have the conveyance of them to Bombay as soon as the formalities of trial had been gone through, for of their guilt there was no doubt.

Fifty were condemned to transportation and handed over to the Ararat. On the 19th of June the vessel stop ping at Penang, twelve convicts more were taken on board, making the whole number of desperadoes not less than seventy-four. On the 28th of June the weather was stormy, so that the Captain and mate remained on deck; hnt while thev were trvine to catch a nap they were suddenly awakened by a tremendous crash and shoutings. It was apparent in a moment that the convicts had broken loose. 1 hey stabbed the sentry to the heart, and rushed aft to seize the officers.

The Captain and mate in the meantime had procured their weapons from the eabin, and for a while thev ept the ruffians at bay. The latter fought with marlinspikes, blocks and holystones, and the officers with revolving pistols. It was pitcn oai-K an tne time, ior as soon as light was brought it was extinguished by the pirates. The ship was rolling tearfully, and abandoned by the sailors, chiefly Lascars, who had taken refuge the rigging, "It is not the least remarkable feature in this desoerate scene," says the limes, the Cap- tain 8 wile, wno was on noara, quieuy loaueu auu reloaded her husband's pistols, and handed them 1 JJ up to him through the euddy-light. At length the Captain determined to advance; but this was to be done with the greatest caution, lor any of the Dilates could have succeeded in conceal ing themselves so as to get behind the guard as they advanced, and obtain possession of arms, the case might have become desperate indeed." After an hour's hard fighting the pirates were driven to the top-gallant forecastle, and there charged with the bayonet, and killed, or forced over the When lights were procured, and the loss on the side ot the pirates was ascertain cd, out of sixty who had come on deck twenty-eicht were dead or missing.

Some were wound ed besides. A more desperate struggle for life, says the Times, has seldom taken place, and Captain Correya may well be proud of a victory to which his own bravery so largely contriuutea But that journal inquires, with some pertinence how it happened that so many Teckless cut throats, who, on their trial, avowed that they would prefer death to imprisonment, should be committed to a single vessel, with only a small guard. They were put in irons, it is true, but the irons were too large, a fact which might have been seen at the time when they were put on, There was clearly cross carelessness in the man agement of the matter at the outset. New York Evening Post. sinD-nlar Case of Sonnambulism I A Yuuug Lady Runs a Hull -VXllo in her asleep A singular case of sleep-waking, by a girl thirteen or fourteen, years of age, occurred in Manchester township on last Friday night and us it was narrated to us by a gentleman ot unimpeachable veracity, we have no hesitancy in giv in" it to our readers.

On the night above men tioned, Sarah, a daughter ot Wm. Milburn, Jbsq. living with her uncle, George Johnson, Esq. awakened her aunt by opening the door and walkine out. After an absence of some time her aunt became uneasv, arose, and went to the door to see what had become of her.

When she looked out she saw Sarah open the gate and start in a run down the road. Uneasy and alarmed at such an unusual and astonishing pedestrian feat, she hastened to awaken her two sons, and requested them to follow the fleeing girl and see that she came to no hurt, as soon as tney couia don their attire they started in rapid pursuit, but thev had Droceeded only a short distance, when they observed the girl rapidly making her way back home. They ran back as fast as possible, and on the porch awaited her coming. With the speed of the beautiful Atlanta, she flewdojvn the road until sne reacnea me stone icuce in iruut ui the house, a ew yards from the gate. She then slackened her pace and walked slowly down the fence, with her hand touching it until she reached the eate, which she carefullv threw wide open.

and deliberately shutting it, walked leisurely to the house. Vhen she reached, tne spot wnerc the young men were standing, she was panting from her unaccustomed and violent exertion. They asked her where she had been, to which she replied, without hesitation, nowhere," and calmly went to her bed and careiuiiy tucseaner-self in. In the morning her aunt questioned her about ber strange and unaccountable proceedings of the night before. She stated that she dreamed that two men came to the house to kill her aunt and herself, and, badly frightened, she flew to the sehoolhouse (Hvpewell) for aid.

When she reached it. and having given, the alarm, as she thought, to those to whom she supposed to be inside, she says that" she then awoke, but imme-diatelv thereafter asain losing consciousness, she remembered nothing more of her singular and erratic adventure. jiurora liid.) Commercial, "Diplomatic Malakoff, the Paris correspondent of the New York Times, gives the following account of a singular notable of the French capital There lives in Paris a handsome and intelligent nero. known to man Americans, named George Diggs. George is not only accomplished, but clever.

He speaks many languages, and is par ticular! well posted in diplomatic usages. This fact, indeed, has gained for him the title of "DiDlomatic George." His tall, well-formed per son and the fine presence, suits for this sort of function. It was tilt lately the boast ot treorge that within a period of fifteen years, no Ameri can Minister from Paris to Constantinople, or from St. to Naples, had been able to arrive at his post or go through the social nart of his uutiation.into business without his aid. Without George always at his elbow to direct him, there was no salvation.

He pioneered the way through the different countries and different dialects without the Minister (who, either through the agency of his baggage or other means, always allowed his official capacity to be known) cominu in contact with the people. Arrived at his future residence, George took upon himself everything; he first took a house; then arranged for the. visit to the Palace and the presentation of credentials; indicated the etiquette of the first calls upon the Cabinet and the diplomatic corps: often accompanied the Minister as interpreter or to whisper a last word of directions into his ear in the ante-chamber. Un all these points ot di plomatic etiquette George was up to the mark, and was immensely useful in fact, indispensable. When he had set tbe diplomatic machine fairly going, George pocketed his tee, and came back to Paris to wait for another arrival.

I have met Georife frequently lately, in tbe streets, looking: melancholy and quite out of sorts. He finds the time very long till the next Presidential election! A Child Killed by a Turkey Cook. An inquest was held at the Polite Office, Cheadle, Staffordshire, last Monday, before Mr. Abraham Flint, to inquire into the death of a grandchild of a Mr. Finney, of the Cheadle-park farm.

It appeared from the evidence of William Pfiilips, one of the farm servants, that on Friday afternoon last, while some of the family were ubsent at Cheadle Market, the child in question-4a remarkably fine boy, about two years oldj was playing about in the yard with him, and that while he was at work the child slipped away-and went, as he supposed, into the house but presently, on inquiry being made for tbe child, it was foiind to have gone into a field at the further end of the yard, where, on search made.dt was found lying with its face downward, quite! dead. a flock of turkeys being about twenty yards off. From the evidence of Phillips, it appeared ithat a kind of feud existed between the child and the turkeys, he having on some former occasion killed several of the young ones with a (stick since which time the "old cock bird (to use the witness's expression) had. made pecks at the child." Mr. Thomas Webb, surgeon, deposed that, on being sent for to the child, the only visible mark of violence found upon it was upon the jaw or lower part of the face, which mitrht whk" 11 ,11111 Was not such a mark as would have been caused by a kick from a horse but he stated that, as there were norses in tneneid, ne examined the ground closely, but could not discover any horses' footmarks near where the child lay.

The Coroner and Jury, together with the medical man, went to view the locus in quo and the' deceased, and upon their return the former addressed a few remarks to them, suggesting that, although there was no positive evidence of the manner in Which the child came to its death, there could be very little doubt, looking at the evidence which had been brought before them, that it ttd been caused by the turkey. A verdict to that' effect was accordingly rendered.

The late lamented death of our Minister at the Court of the Tuileries, Mr. Mason, afforded the Emperor of the French an opportunity of signi fying his personal and oflleial respect, not only for the deceased envoy, but for the nation which he represented, of which Napoleon was not slow to avail himself; and it ought to be thoroughly weil understood by our people that the highest possible honors were paid to the memory of the American Minister by the express orders of the Emperor in person. Napoleon was far distant from Pans, at Biarritz, in the south ot ranee: when the news of 31r.

Mason's death reached bim. He immediately telegraphed to the capital commands that his own private carriage should be sent to the funeral that all the officers of his household, then in Paris- should be present and that a battallion, with muffled drums, should act as escort at the church. These orders were equivalent to the personal presence of the sovereign, which was, of course, imposible under the circumstances; and their full value, as indications of the good will felt by the French Emperor towards the United States, can hardly be properly estimated, unless we remember that the technical diplomatic rank of Mr. Ma son as a Minister Plenipotentiary, put him on somewhat lower footing in regard to Court etiquette than if he had been an ambassador, ambassadors alone ranking in the diplomatic hierarchy of Europe as the personal representatives of the sovereigns by whom they are accredited. In this instance, as in so many others, Napoleon departed from the strict usage of the European Courts to acknowledge the dignity of a fr.ee people.

So rigid are the rules whieh govern the personal action of sovereigns in respect to these matters, that when the first and most famous sub ject of Great Britain, the Duke Of Wellington, was carried to his tomb beneath tne dome ot London's great Cathedral, Queen Victoria refused to pay the savior of England the homage of her own attendance at his obsequies. A dozen American envoys might give up the ghost in London without startling the British Court into such a recognition of the Republic and its rank among nations as was tendered by the French Emperor at the funeral of Mr. Mason. 2T.

Times. Outbreak at tbe California State Prison, XUree Killed Eleven Wounded, Another' terrible outbreak occurred at the State Prison yesterday about noon. It seems that a eanir of prisoners, numbering about 150, was employed in loading the schooner Bolinas with bricks, tne schooner being moorea to a Duoy a short distance from the shore. This gang had formed the determination to escape, by overpowering the guard and capturing the schooner; and at the hour stated, attempte to perfect their designs. They accordingly seized the man that was guarding them, carried him on board the Bolinas, imprisoned the captain and mate in the hold, made all sail with haste, and stood out in the open bay.

But in their hurry and excitement they forgot that the Bolinas was moored to the buoy, and as soon as she had run out her fast, it swung her round and brought her into the wind. In the meanwhile the guard on shore became aware of the facts, and immediately commenced a cannonade on the schooner. The prisoners on board, numbering about eighty men, seized the captive overseer and held him np in plain sight, in hope that the guard on shore would cease firinsr as soon as they beheld the jeopardy of their companion but they -were de ceived, lor tne nnng continued wim the prisoners showed the white flag and surrendered. A boat was then Bent from the shore and the prisoners secured. It was found that three men had been kliled and eleven wounded, beside the captive overseer, who was shot through the arm, and will probably lose the limb, It is also stated that a number jumped overboard to escape the effect of the shot but we have no reliable intelligence to that effect.

The Bolinas was completely riddled, and her rigging much cut up, The steamer Clinton was hailed about the time of the occurrence and informed of the affair, when Captain Baxter turned the bow of the steamer toward San Quentin, to render assistance, but arrived just as the prisoners had been secured. San Francisco Herald, 9th. Story of a Female Smuggler. A few weeks ago an elegantly dressed lady, wearing a fashionable bonnet, costly veil, flowing pelisse and silk dressed distended by an ample quantity of crinoline, presented herself at one of the Custom Houses on the Belgian frontier, carrying ber arms a bouncing child, carefully wrapped up in fine linen and rich lace, his dear, little features mg protected by a thick, green veil. As the ladyentered the office, she whispering informed the agent that her child Was asleep, and begged thaiis slumbers might not be disturbed.

The skeptical official bowed with natise French po hteness, but nevertheless, requested the elegant stranger to accompany a female employee of the bureau into a private room, there was no need, however, of an excess of courtesy. No sooner was the employee summoned than she snatched the infant from the mother arms and let it fall heavily upon the floor In the handsome stran ger she had recognized a professional smuguler. and the interesting child was nothing more nor less than a roll ot tobaeco, weighing over thirty pounds. As for the ample crinoline, of which some suspicions also were naturally entertained, it was found, upon examination, to conceal several pounds of tobacco, rolled up into twists and introduced as hoops. The following paragraph, from a London journal, will be of interest to naturalized citizens of the United States It may be remembered that some time ago a young Hanovarian named Ernst, who had been naturalized a citizen of the United States, to which he went some years ago with his parents, was, was, on his paying a visit to Hanover, arrested and ordered to perform the military service in the army to which he had been called.

But he claimed exemption as an American citir zen, and the United States government having supported his pretensions, the Hanovarian Cabinet has just set him at liberty. For the Express. TJnlon meetiua at Evans Centre. October 25th, 1759. The meeting was called to order by C.

W. Smith, when Peter Barker was called to the Chair, and Wm. H. Candee chosen Secretary. Mr.

Barker then introduced F. J. Fithian, our candidate for District Attorney, who spoke about two hours to a large and attentive, audience, among which were many ladies. He commenced by making an apology for the absence of other speakers, then merely glanced at the different state tickets, spoke of the propriety of union in Erie County, and then proceeded to give a- concise history of the rise and fall of parties since the organization of the government, and proved by arguments, too well authenticated by facts to admit of a reasonable doubt, that the Democratic party is fast approaching its dissolution. He proved by the declarations of leaders in that party, that its principles no longer accorded with those of Jefferson, Monroe, or Jackson, but Cal houn ultraism was its present goal, and its final destiny destruction.

That an "irrepressible conflict" did exist between that party and the people, and the late elections were evidence cor roborative of the fact. Mr. F. read a communi- cation from the Buffalo Courier, purporting come from Evans, and signed "A Republican," and made some very appropriate remarks respect ing it. He conjured all Republicans to act like honorable rnen, and fulfil their part of the Union contract.

His remarks were listened to with marked attentiorisand interest. He indulged in no personalities, and his arguments were able and convincing, and he closed by wishing the people of Evans lasting prosperity and success. Eong was called for, when Mr. Carrier and others responded by singing the following A FREE LAND FOR THE FREE. Awake awake ye freemen, Gird on again your mail.

Fling out, fling out your banner To catch the rising gale And this shall be our motto, To float o'er land and sea To shout on every hill-side A free land for the free New England's granite. mountains. New York's imperial plains, "Ohio's sunny vineyards, Have echoed with the strain And Pennsylvania's forges Have caught the jubilee Then sound it o'er the prairies A free land for the free What I shall the clank of fetters Be heard upon the soli, Which our immortal fathers Redeemed with bloody toll And are those men our masters, Who say these things shall be TVe shout in' stern defiance A free land for the free Then rouse ye for the battle.

Wm. H. Casdke, Sec'y. Substantial Reasons Why Americans Should Vote the Democratic Ikket, The Livingston Republican, an American journal, has the following very cogent reasons why Americans should support Democrats for office 1st. Because a modicum of its vote -is cast by unnaturalized foreigners.

2d. Because it admitted Oregon with a Constitution allowing unnaturalized foreigners the privilege of voting. 3d. Because it is an inveterate enemy to a Registry Law, and when such a law is passed, strains every effort, honorable and dishonorable to nullify it, and glories in such nullification. 4th.

Because it is run by Central Railroad, (Richmond, Corning and therefore is magnanimously the champion of the Canals, for illustration see the poem, "Won't you walk into the parlor, Says the spider to the fly." 5th. Because it has doubled and nearly trebled the annual expense of the national administration, since the presidency of Milfard Fillmore. 9th. Because it carries, (according to Buchanan's policy,) slavery into all of the territories, and demands that Congress and the Judiciary shall keep it there. The Wanderer goes to the Coast of Africa.

It will be recollected that when the Wanderer left Savannah, she carried off Capt. Wm. F. Black, a Shipping Master, and Edward Talbot, a runner of that port. These gentlemen have returned to Savannah, and reported that the Captain carried them off against their will, but that persisting in their entreaties to be put ashore, the Captain finally consented, when he was well out of the harbor to let them go.

While the the vessel was under full sail, and going at a rapid rate, they were allowed to jump into their boat which was towing astearn. As the line was cast off the Captain said to them, "No go my name is Patton. 1 am bound for thecoast of Africa for a cargo of negroes give my respects to the people of Savannah, and tell them tnJt piles under the London Bridge have been driven 500 years, and on examining them in 1845, they were found to be little decayed. They are principally elm. Old Savoy Place, in the city of London, was built 650 ago, and the wooden piles, consisting of oak, elm, beech, and chestnut, were found, upon recent examination to be perfectly sound.

Of the durability of tim ber in a wet state, the piles of the bridge built by the Emperor Trajan, over the Danube, affords a striking example. One of these piles was tak en up, and found to be petrified to the depth of three-quarters of an inch, but the rest of the wood was not diflerent from its former state, though it had been driven 1600 years.

Who does not wish himself an editor? fA miniature steam engine, complete in all its details, has been on exhibition at the State Fair in San Francisco, of about one rat power, manufactured by Henry- Rice, watchmaker, of Sacramento. A steam attachment was formed with a copper pipe no larger in diameter than an ordinary straw, connecting with the boiler outside, from which it received its supply and when under a full head, its fly wheel performed over two thousand revolutions a minute. Nothing could be more beautifully accurate in its adjustment. The cylinder has a diameter of three-sixteenth inch, and seven-sixteenth inch stroke.

It propelled a small turning lathe, and elicited from the spectators many complimentary remarks to the skill of its manufacturer. Great Democratic Rally.

The Original Peter It is generally supposed that to the United States if not to New York city herself belongs the equivocal honor of having given to the certain celebrated auctiouer named Peter Funk. There could be no greater mistake, In Appleton'g New Cyclopaedia we are told that the great original Peter was a Cologne merchant (whose memory has not the fragrance derivable from the' scene of his activities), who was born in 1781, and who died in 1832. Like most of the Democratic registrars of this city, Peter Funk kept a liquor store, having for bis partner an 'apothecary living in Crefeld.

The partner, suspecting Funk of various breaches of trust (as we politely term thievery in America), sent an agent named Conen to investigate Peter's accounts. By some curious process, never fully explained, this Conen brought to light many of Funk's frauds, while, at the same time, himself suddenly disappeared from the seene. Funk was arrested and tried for tbe murder of the unlucky agent. An accomplice was found guilty and sentenced to sixteen years imprisonment Funk, as principal was sentenced to death, but pardoned by the King. The costs of his various trials amounted to $30,000, which he was released from paymg.

It will be seen that the law over there is as lax as our own in this regard; for although Peter knocked down the article in question, and it was known to be surely gone," he was let off without punishment and his. name has now become a houati- hold world in the rural districts around New York. If notoriety were always reputation, Peter Funk might be the most boastful of our fellow citizens but, alas his character has been so long going, going," that we wonder not that at last it has forever "gone."

British Trade with India. At a recent public diuner given to the Hon. J. Wilson, M. (late editor of the Economitkanpv appointed to India,) he said, I fhinkjit less than ten years since the exports were barely JES.f'OO.tfOO a year to the whole of India.

In 1854 1 thinkthey bad already risen to 9,000,000, or approaching 10,000,000, showing an increase of nearly double In a few years, and in the present year there Is every appearance that they will be again double what they were in 1854. That is a progress so remarkable that, as your chairman has -very properly said, it suggests some caution and some doubt as to its going on at the same rate. There is no doubt that there are and have been circumstances in operation during the past year 1. nrnkalilir a aAAnn ment of trade, some portions of which we may not hope will prove more than temporary, but others of which I hope will be permanent. I think it was only in 1854 (when the exports from this country were something under ten mililons, as.

has been referred to by your chair man, while they have since increased to eighteen millions in a year,) that the value of our imports from India was twelve millions sterling. But the value of the imports, of tbe productions of India had in 1827 increased to no less than twenty-one millions. Therefore, while you were supplying India with an increase of eight millions additional of your manufactures, the people of India were supplying you witn. an increase of nine miliiong a year of their productions of raw material, all of which contributed to the success of your manufactures at home. A Vampire.

The Placer (California) Courier says a vampire was lately captured near tbe bead of Bushy Canon, which measured sixteen inches from tip to tip. Together with a much larser one, it entered a cabin on a blood-sucking expedition, and was struck to the floor, when the other made gqod its escape through the open door. The paper says of it The length of the body exceeded three and one-half inched, the lower extremity of which terminated with two short legs, with five claws upon each, and other claws at the joints of each wing. But the most peculiar part of it is its head and ears, which are enor mously large, long and peaked, and yet very handsome and becoming, with a small spear on the inside, uearly the hole length and separate from it the appearance of a double ear, wherein, were it not for the spear, a large pea might be. dropped.

Greatly contrasting with its enormous ears, are its very small jet-black eyes, out of which it has much the expres sidh of a hyena, and looks sery like a grizzly bear. Its mouth, nose and neck, with the exception of a non-projecting under jaw, has a ferocious and bull-dog appearance, and a more beautiful and perfect set of teeth, tuske and crushers, were never possessed by any animaL" Novel Geographical Tutor.

A terrible accident happened last night at 1 o'clock to the steamer New World, of the People's Line, while on her way from this city to Albany. She was opposite Tubby Hook, about twelve miles from New York, when the engineer was startled by tbe ringing of the" alarm bell. He was in the firoroom at the time, and instantly springing towards the machinery, saw that it was out of order, and, stopping the engines, gave orders to the fireman to put out the fires, but before this could be done the walking-beam broke, and in its course took the piston rod along with it. These carried the rest of the machinery with them, which fell, breaking through the bottom of the steamer with a heavy crash.

The noise was very great, and many of the passengers thought that the steamer had run upon a rock- A rush was.made from the cabins to the deck, but their fears were for the moment quieted by tbe. crew telling them that nothing was the matter, and that everything was all right. The next moment, however, the cry of "hbes sinking, she sinking, rang their ears. The machinery had passed completely through the bottom of the steamer, thus leaving a large hole, through which the water rushed with terri ble force. I The excitement was now intense every one be low struggled to get to the deck, and, under the impulse of the moment, it is said that three ladies and two gentlemen umped overboard and were drowned.

i The steamer was sinking fast, three hundred passengers were on board, and inevitable death appeared to be staring tnem in tne iace, as no vessels were near. The night was pitch dark. and the snow fell thick and fast. A small boat was lowered the steamer, when the passengers crowded in, some jumping from the deck ot the steamer into tbe boat, as a natural con sequence, the small boat was swamped. How many were in at the time, or how many were drowned, our reporter could not learns Others seized upon the life-preservers, which were in rtheir cabins and above the deck, and, fastening them around their bodies, waited lor the sinking of the steamer.

The pilot had turned her bow towards the west Shore, with the intention of running ber aground, but she only went a short distance, as, her ma chinery being broken, the propelling power soon ceased. At this time, about fifteen minutes after the accident occurred, the shouts of tbe passengers on the hurricane-deck had attracted the attention of the crew of the sloop jack Downing, Captain Erastus W. Crane, bound for Albany lrom HJiza betbtown. with a cargo of coal. By the exertion ot the captain and crew sne neared the sinking steamer, and ropes were thrown from vessel to vessel.

When within a few feet of the steamer, several passengers sprang from the deck of tbe latter to that ot tbe for mer. With her heavy load of coal the little sloop could not with safety take one quarter of the pas sengers; and the ropes were cast otf some that could not be loosed were cut. At tuts moment, the steamer sinking lower and lower, two tow-boats, (the Ohio and Syracuse) came alongside, and carried on the rest of the passengers. On board the sloop there were sixty-five. A subscription for Captain Crane and crew was made, and upwards of seventy-five dollars was raised and presented to him, with the thanks of the rescued, bmall boats then took them from the deck of the sloop to the dock at Yonkers, The passengers taken off by the steamboats were also landed at that place.

None of them took awav their baggage, and a number returned to this city this morning to see the steamboat owners respecting it. i Awful Shipwreck at Australia. A fine steamer, the Admella, of about six bun dred tons, and three hundred horse power, running between Adelaide and Melbourne, was wrecked on the 6th of August, (Saturday,) by striking on a reef thirty miles to the west of the imaginary line separating Victoria; lrom soutn Australia. Tbe details are the most frightful of any shipwreck that ever occurred on the Austra lian coast. The sacrifice ot although large, npwards of fifty persons having been lost, is not the most horrible part ot the catastrophe.

I he sufferings of the unfortunate survivors exceeded anything described in the history lof sufferings and disasters at sea. For seven days they were on the wreck, during five of which they were without food of any description. Tbe ship struck at hfeli'-past four in the morning, the weather being thick, with much lightning, whilst steering, as was thought, the usual course, i In less than ten minutes after the appalling shock, the ship parted into three pieces. About forty people continued clinging to the bow. portion for two days, when they were nearly all washed off and lost, with the exception of about fifteen, who were brought to the after part of the vessel by means of a rope.

Some very harrowing scenes of separation among the families of the fore-cabin passengers, occurred at this time. All the provisions that were saved in the first instance, were one filter full of water, a small bag of almonds, about twenty pounds of cheese, half a ham, ten pounds of beef, eight bottles of porter and one bottle of whiskey, but a portion of these was afterwards washed away. The surf dashed over them night and yet all appeared composed and collected. The chief mate, (James Hutchinson) in describing the scene, says each night carried off its victims about twenty died on Tuesday night of cold. It was a bitter night; death was so frequent as to lose all terrors to the survivors, who looked calmly on.

Capt. Harrison, of tbe Wait-emata, did all he could do, diving for provisions; he suffered so much from the exertion that he died froiwexhaustion on board. He relates other acts of heroism, and self-denial, which to an extent relieved the pain of the melancholy narrative. The country near where the wreck took place is very thinly populated, and it was not till Monday morning that the two sailors who got ashore on a raft reported the calamitous accident to the light- house keepers at Cape Northumberland. Information was immediately communicated to Melbourne and Adelaide.

It was at first supposed that there were no more survivors, and tbe South Australian government contented themselves with sending the Coria. The Victorian government did nothing. On Tuesday a number people from Mount Gambier visited the scene of the wreck, and discovered that a number of people -were still alive, but this fact was not known in Melbourne till Wednesday morning. when the Messrs. Honty immediately ordered the Lady Bird, then lying at Belfast, proceed at once to the wreck.

The Coria did not reach the wreck until Wednesday night. On the following morning she launched her lifeboat, but the sea was too heavy to permit her to reach the wreck. Tbe Lady Bird was unable to find- the wreck. and had to return to Portland for information, so that it was Friday at midday before she reached the spot. Equally unavailing were the efforts of ner crew, augmented Dy a number of experienced whalers from Portland, to effect a communication with the wreck.

The seventh nieht clos ed upon the wretched survivors, now reduced to 27, their hopes ol relief almost utterly extingms-ed. Four men died during the night. On Saturday morniDg the survivors were safely brought to shore, in all 23. A great deal of feeling has been manifested against the government for the apathy they evinced, and a liberal subscription is being raised to remunerate tbe crew of the Lady Bird and the beatmen employed in rescu ing the sufferers. Another Arctic Expedition.

The English public, it would seem, are not vet satisfied that everything that ought to be done nas Deen done in arctic research and one journal, the Medical Times, intimates that another expedition should be sent out in search of any possible survivors of the Franklin party. The Medical limes regrets tnat trovernmeut did not follow the advice of a well known member of the profession Dr. King who on several occasions proposed to go by the Great Fish River, to the Western Land ot North Somerset, to seek the missing navigators. Capt. McClintock's dis coveries show that Crozier and big companions traveled from the southern shore of King Wit i liam's Island, which lies off the Western Land of North Somerset, where the Franklin ships were wrecked, to Point Ogle, on tbe continent of America, and thence to Montreal Island in the estuary of the Great Fish River.

Had Dr. King's offers been accepted, continues the Medical Times, "not only would our gallant countrymen have been rescued, but no necessity would have arisen for the expeditious of Ross, Richardson, Austin, Penny, Belcher, or Kellett, at a Government expense of twp millions; nor for the private expeditions under Ross, Kennedy, and McClintock, or the American efforts of De-Haven and Kane. We do not mention this in any spirit of vain regret, but to point out that a. summer land search up the Great Fish River would be devoid of danger, would be inexpensive, and miqht be successful in rescuing some of the 106 survivors, all of whom can scarcely have perished in a country where tliere is plenty of game." The Insurgent Stevens. A correspondent of the New York Tribune says Allen Evans is an alias of Stevens, whose real name is Aaron Dwight His father is a very worthy citizen ot Norwicb, a communicant and chorister in one of our churches.

The deep est sympathy is felt for him by the whole com munity in the crushing affliction. He passed through New York this morning, on his way to visit his'son, hoping to see him alive, and impart to him the last counsels of a Christian fa ther. The son, who is now 27 yearsof age, has been from home for the last nine years, and his parents haye known little of his whereabouts. From bis childhood be has been impatient of restraint, and the source of not a little anxiety to his family. He has an elder brother, an excellent young man, in one of our Western States, a younger brother in Ohio, a step-mother, and a lovely sister of 16 at home, to mourn for him, 4 The special correspondent of the New York Times, on board the Great Eastern, who is stated to be an eminent practical engineer, rives the most thorough description of the re cent trial trip to Holyhead, entering into the most careful scientific study of the great ship, her performances, and the facta that have been demonstrated, of anything that has been written upon either side of the Atlantic.

The general conclusion the writer seems to have attained is, that, while the expectations ot the public, unduly wrought up by incompetent authorities, are disappointed, those of the pro jectors are abundantly verified. Thus while the vessel cannot be advantageously employed tor a mere trans-Atlantic service, it is perfectly adapt ed in the Inno- Australian vovasre for which It was designed. It cannot attain a speed of thirty miles an hour, but it can accomplish a rate of fifteen miles. It cannot make a trip from Liverpool to New York in five days but it can accomplish it in ten. It does not wholly obviate the discomforts of a sea-voyage it does not go through the waves instead of over fhem but it does pitch and roll so slightly as to cause little serious distress to the passenger, Other points of interest are developed by the trial.

The security of the vessel is imperfect the bulkheads are neither fire-tight nor water-tight important valves are not as they should be, automatic the apparatus for superheating steam seems only to be available at the cost of grave peril. The machinery is very far from having that completeness and that proportion people have been led to anticipate. The boilers are inadequate to furnish the power required by the engines. There is a want of harmony in the working of the screw and side-wheel engines and the donkey-engines are by no means as serviceable as certain American inventions of the same kind. The machinery for raising and handling the anchors is likewise of indifferent value.

On the other hand the vessel is under perfect con trol of the helm, with no greater amount of force than is required by a first-rate frigate. The consumption of coal is moderate and the engines work with none of the stiffness of new machinery. The opinion formed by the writer is thus, npon the whole, not unfavorable to its claims. In deed, he does not hesitate to pronounce it success." The depredations of the Indians still con tinue on the frontier of Texas, not only in the north-west but in the south-west, along the Eio Grande. A party from the other side of that river attacked three or four isolated families.

living about thirty-five miles from the Eagle Pass, recently, and, committed the most horrible out rages and murders. The whole savage band rav ished a woman ana her two daughters, one six and the other nine years of age, and then beat out their brains. They murdered a man who was at work in his field, and carried away his wife and her infant. By way of amusement they subsequently beat out the brains of the infant, while eating dinner, in the presence of the terri fied and helpless mother. A stirring letter from Mazzini to the King of Sardinia has been circulating through Italy, where it has created a great sensation.

After alluding to the fact that his country had sacrificed 50,000 men in the late war, and that ten times that number would be forthcoming if necessary, Mazzini alleges that the intriguers who surrounded the King never desired the unity of Italy. He claims that the Franco-Sardinian alliance was unnecessary, reproaches the1 King with having accepted the peace of Villafranea, and invites him to dare to ally himself with the people and give them full scope in their efforts to attain liberty and independence. E5sT We notice by the Ontario Repository that Gen- Charles B. Stuart, of Geneva, has been nominated by both the Democratic- and American Conventions of that District for the Sate Senate. Gen.

Risgciar Combustion op as Iron Safe. The Hartford Courant states that a safe which had for twenty years been the receptacle of the funds and confidence of Lyman Stoekbridge, and for a few months past those of his successor, Mr.

Wm. B. Smith, was observed to send out small gusts of smoke on Wednesday. The attempt to get at the fire was unsuccessful, as it appeared to be lodged between the inner and outer coating of the sale. 1 ne books and papera were removed, and the safe turned out doors, where its filling of sawdust and plank smouldered away, and the thing collapsed.

The remains, still smoking, drew a curious crowd around them most of the day yesterday. Appropriate inscriptions were appended to it, testifying to the complete protection from fire and robbers of everything which had been entrusted to its keeping for twenty years- It had taken fire from the heat of a stove which stood a few inches distant, and the result was the detection of about as much of a cheat as is often, developed. It is said the safe was fully insured; loss total. The Domestic Slave Trade. A friend who recently passed down the Mississippi on a St.

JThe Republicans of Rochester have re nominated Hois. Elias Pond for the Assembly. This is wise. Mr.

Pons is capable and honest. Breaking; Cover. The friends of the Canals must be on the alert and see to it that the pending loan is not beaten at the ballot box. The Democrats are already breaking cover in their hostility against it. The Lyons DemoeraticPress characterizes the proposal to pay thefloating debt of $2,500,000, and Urtlt of raising the necessary means to complete the Erie enlargement, as '-the Seward scheme to -violate the Constitution!" In this, wehave no doubt, that the true feeling and purpose of the Democratic party finds outlet, although "candidates, so far as they have given utterance to their sentiments, have avowed themselves favorable to these measures.

Thi3 outburst of hostility, coming from the residence of Van R- Richmond, should warn the people thatjue loan is in danger. It is highly probable that the Press reflects the sentiments of the hybrid candidate for State Engineer and Surveyor, when it denounces the payment of the State debt and the completion of the Canal enlargement as a scheme to violate the Constitution This should admonish the voters of Buffalo, to beware how they vote for a man who holds such sentiments, and -ho, if elected, is to be intimately connected with; the dearest interests of the Canals in his official capacity. We hope that no American elector in this city will do it the injury to follow the blind lead of party, so far as to vote for Mr. Richmond, because he as nominated at Utiea. The citizens of a city which already suffers intensely from this hostility to the Canals, and their trade and commerce, cannot well afford to yield to party behests, so far as to cast their suffrage for any man on the Democratic ticket, and especially for one whose peculiar organ denounces the payfeient of the debt and completion of the enlargement as "a scheme to violate the Constitution." Citizens of Buffalo beware, lest you are betrayed into a position of mischief to the welfare ofyour own citv and your own interests.

Mr. Story is a friend of the Canals and of their speedy enlargement and completion, while we are led to the belief that Mr. Richmond is not. Be wise and choose the right. Failed, to Connect.

A few days since a Democratic meeting was called in the Courier at Lancaster, the head quarters of that party in the country, and the District Attorney and Dr.BauNCK were announced to speak. The District Attorney went ahead for the.purpose of consulting the Democracy, and Dr. Brcxck was to follow. When he ar rived there he began to make inquiries of the faithful as to the prospects. He soon learned that the Democratic party in that town had been attacked by the Union with so much severity that it had given up the ghost, and -was enjoying a quiet rest.

No preparations had been made in the town for a meeting, and it was highly proba ble that nobody would be out. -Everything was dead, and nobody seenied to care whether, a resurrection awaited the party or not. This was a wet blanket for the amiable District Attorney, and his chill was followed by a fever, in which he used language more pungent than pious. At all events, our informant says, the terms used were not such as are usually taught children in Sunday schools. After he had given the town his blessing for its "masterly inactivity," he shook the dust from his feet, telegraphed Bruhce not to come out took his back' track, and landed in town fully impressed that the Democracy of Lancaster might go to any place that beat suited their dead condition, he would not waste his time over dead men's bones.

It begins to be a little billions for our good friends. For the Morning Express. Messrs. Editors The Courier, of the 26th, publishes an extract from Senator Seward's Rochester speech, which, from the manner in which it is treated, seems to me very disingenuous. It eays: Mr.

Seward, in his famous Rochester Speech, made daring the campaign of 1858 and applauded and published in all the Republican papers, used the following unequivocal language Thus these antagonistic systems free and slfc ve are continually coming into closer contact, and collision results. Shalt I tell too. what this collision meansf They who think that it is accidental, unnecessary, thelwork of interested ami fanatical agdtators, mistake the case alto-ftether- It is an Irrepressible Conflict between opposing; and enduring forces, and it means that the United States most and will, sooner or later, become entirely a Slave holding nation, or entirely a free labor Either the cotton or rice fields of South Carolina, and the sugrar plantations of Louisiana, will ultimately be tilled; by free labor, and Charleston and New Orleans become marts for legitimate merchandize alone, or else the rye anjl wheat nebls of New York must again be surrendered by their farmers to slave culture and to the production of slaves, and Boston and New ork become once more markets of trade in the bodies and souls of men. i Such language admits of no doubtful construction. It affirms that the free and slave states of this Union are in a state of warfare that there is between them and their respective institutions "an irrepressible conflict between opposing and enduring forces," and that "sooner or later" the one must triumph and the other submit.

Slavery must sweep over the North and Slave marts be re-established in New Tork and Boston i-or free labor must take possession of the cotton and rice fields and sugar plantations of the couth ti i ru I i 1 auu aeu its jnvuuuia in vuaucsiuu auu -1 leans.
