'5'Jte rVotniismioi! tor Civnrcne. 1S3 Wasiiivoton street, September 1, 1S52, My Dear Sir It having been intimated to me by several friends, as 1 have met with them, that my name hud been spoken of, among others, in refer ence to the Democratic Congressional nomination, i soon to be made for our District; and perceiving that one, (unknown to me) last evening, expressed his partiality on my behalf in the columns of the Eagle, I feel constrained to make this early communication, Otsego and Delaware. The disagreement between the democracy of these two' sterling counties, comprising the XIX Congressional district of this state, which prevented their concurrence in the election of a delegate to the last national convention, we are gratified to state, has been honorably settled. The feeling between the two counties was so strong, that Otsego elected a delegate by itself, sented the district, although Delaware protested. It was feared that the feud would lose the democratic party the member of Congressfrom this district, notwithstanding it is able to give 3,000 majority on the right side.

The adjustment was finally effected by a confidence of the two county committees. The Democratic Republican Nominations. Fcr President, FICAKKl.tN PiKl'K, or NZW lUMt'SIIIRK a.uter Irom Europe. The U. S.

Steamship Arctic, Capt. Luco, arrived from Liverpool last night. Her news is not of importance. The government organ of England (the London Morning Herald) denies that the disputed rights of the American fishermen have been conceded, and adds that such concession will not be made. Parliament is expected to assemble on the 11th of November.

The arrivals from Australia had brought 30,278 ounces of gold, and report another due with 15,465 ounces. Great difficulty was found in procuring sailors, and from 45 to 50 per man was asked and obtained for the run to England. At Melbourne, middle of April, provisions were dear; flour 25 per ton, and likely to go higher. Gold firm at 63s per ounce. A statute of the late Sir Robert Peel was inaugurated at Leeds on the 20th.

The statute is'a bronze, by Dehnes, and cost 1500 guineas. A similar statue was erected at Montrose, Scotland, on the 21st. By an order in Council, dated Osborne, August 18 the trade and shipping in Spain are placed on the Letter from Ntvwport. Correspondence of the Brooklyn Daily Bugle. Newport, September 2, 1852.

My Dear Editor Despite all the abuse and slander that has been heaped upon the hotels of New perhaps, has never been a more prosperous season. We have heard an everlasting clatter about the "Mean Licker but I can assure you sherry cobblers are as deliciously made here as anywhere mint juleps and brandy smashes still find a receptacle in the stomachs of the guests heidsick and claret corks are saluting us with their 'popping sound from different quarters of the table otc. nnd yet there are very few that will eat a real nearly dinner to day, on account of the exciting anticipations o1 the ball this evening. The ladies here dress in the most splendid Parisian style, each vicing to excel the other. Elegant silks of every hue with flowing, Isrce sleeves, and beautiful embroidered silk vests with open fronts, fastened with diamond breast pinsi which reflect the light of their own splendid eyes meet you at every turn.

Waiters pass like blacl; clouds across the horizon. Huge pastries and smoking dishes of entrees rest upon the table, to disappear like mists before the morning sun. How pathetic would it sound to address a pastrie thus as it disappeared "Fare Iheewell, and if for ever, Still for ever, fare thee well; Even taough unforgiving, nover V.ainst thee BhalLmy taste rebel." What a set of gormandisers Hotel livers are whe. ther it is the atmosphere or the bathing I know not, but it is certain that every one fights for his dinner as if he were fighting for life, or as if his honor were at stake. Alas the honor of too many lies in their steaks.

But there is an end to all things, as the boy said when he finished his stick of candy, and there is an end to dinner. So, hat in hand, lot us take a walk on the beach and hear the pleasant murmur ol the waves. I know not why it is, but I love to rid myself of this stiff formality of hotel life, turn to the shore, and look out on the clear ocean as far as the eye can reach. There is something ever new in gazing on the ocean, whether the sea is foaming under the effects of some storm, and the waves are tossing the vessels to nnd fro like shuttle cocks or whether sailing pleasantly with a gentle breese and the ripples playing about the bow. Sometimes you will see a shoal of porpoises or grampuses plunging through the water, or gently gliding o'er the waves.

A scene of unending grandeur and sublimity is presented in the everlasting play of these restless waves. He who cannot admire such scenes as these, must be devoid of alj ennobling feelings. What are all the hypocricies of hotel life and scenes to one moment's communion terms are as follows The county entitled to the candidate for Congress is to nominate absolutely Delaware has the nomination in 1852 and 1S58 Otsego in 1854, 1S5G and 1S60. The candidate for elector is to be taken from Otsen in 1852 and from Delaware 1856 and 1860. Delaware is also entitled to the delegate to the national convention, both in 1860; and, if a joint action is required, each county is to send twelve delegates to a district convention to choose the delegates.

Church, For Canal Commissioner Frederick Foltett, 'For State Prison Inspector Darius Clark. '5 'lie XoBiinaUioiis. We are gratified to see by our exchanges that the State nominations arc received with general favor, and that they will rally the whole Democratic party of the state to their support. We may now be regarded as presenting a solid front to the enemy and, although the contest ill be a sharp one, calling out all our available strength, we cannot doubt that victory will perch on the Democratic banner. The ticket is the same that was presented to the democratic electors of the two years ago, when the party was more divided than it is now.

At that election Mr. Seymour was defeated for Governor by some two hundred votes, in a poll of about 400,000. The evils that have been brought upon the State by Gov. Hunt, the successlul candidate, in his course of unconstitutional legislation, profligate expenditures and other corruptions are wide spread, and should arouse democrats to the importance Of single votes, and the necessity of united and vigorous action to redeem the State not oniy in the executive but legislative deparment. It is now; clear that if anything is to be done for the canal.s, it must be done by the democratic party.

The dodge attempted by the whigs has failed by reason of its unconstitutionality, and the people will be careful how they run against the same wall again. The canals must receive the first attention of the new Legislature and measures must be taken to put them through in a constitutional and loyal way. The attempt to evade the constitution has cost the State very dear, and has shaken the confidence of the public in State eeislaii'in: but it will be restored by a lew vears of economic honest Democratic rule. Non Intel of Senator Dont ing looked strong non intervention. riox.

We stated that the speech iss at the great Tammany meet towards the Kossuth doctrine of Here is what the Illinois Senator said on that subject, That part which relates to the everlasting appeals of the whigs to the opinions of Washington is particularly terse and instructive. We commend the whole passage to the attention of the reader Tlie American foreign policy should address itself to all nations. Their example was working throughout nil Europe, and causing all despots to tremble on their thrones. And their policy should be to conciliate and assist all people in the 'jlorinus cause in which ihey were engaged. (Loud cheers.) Proud, haughty and insolent England (loud cheers and groans) who, but a few years ago, would have laughed in derision at any alliance with the United Stales, was now seeking every where a partnership on the American continent.

Knowing she can no longer colonize any portion of North, South or Cen tral America, she is endeavoring to theft her object by her Buhwr and Clayton treaties, (tremendous groans, and trying to see whether she have a partnership in the great Isthmus connecting the two oceans. I say, said he, it is the duty of the government to take this bold position. (Cheers The United States has a right to, and will have the Isthmus of Panama, Nicaragua, Teliuantepcc and every oilier great route between our twogreat shores. (Cheers.) I deny the right of England to be consulted at all upon the question. (Cheers.) England may keep, as long as she can keep, her colonies on this continent, but I am greatly mistaken if our example does not teacli haughty "England thar she will have much to do to keep hcrsubjects in St.

Johns Canada and other provinces oiVthis continent firm in their allegiance, without interfering with American institutions. (Loud cheers, and cries of "good I don't care about the quarrel between the bear of fiussiaand llieJion of England, as long as their dispute is in Asia. (Laughter.) I would'nt give a farthing to decide which conquers in that fight, as long as it is confined to Asia but when it conies among the the people of Europe, then, I must say, all my sympathies are with the people and against their oppres sors. (Loud cheers.) The duty of the American government was to protect the whole Continent against any European power. (Cries of My friend cries out Cuba.

As long ago as 1S45, when a candidate for Congress I declared my opinion, that whenever the island of Cuba should declare its frcedoia and maintain it, and apply to the United States for annexation, I would be in favor of it. (Loud cheers.) But I went iurther, 1 was will ing to appropriate Irom the public treasury any amount of money to purchase Cuba. (Cheers.) I went; further still, I said that if England, or any other European power, were to attempt to take Cuba by purchase, or otherwise, it was the duty of the United States to seize it and hold it at all risks. (Tremendous cheers.) These are still my sentiments it is the destiny of the great democratic party to carry out these principles. (Loud cheers.) The whigs can't do it without violating their avowed principles, and overruling their understanding.

(Cries of 'That's a fact' and laughter.) The whigs don't understand the doctrine of progress. They point always to Washington as the Father of his Country suppose he had pointed to the policy of hi fathers, what would have become of the American revolution 1 (Cheers and laughter.) Or again of Jefier son if lie had stood still and abided by the laws and government which prevailed in the time of his fathers how would we ever have achieved our present independence (Cheers.) The fact is, our fathers were all progressive democrats. (Uproarious cheers.) They accomplished more in the way of progress in their lives than the world had done for six thousand years before. (Cheers.) Our duty as successors of those great men and sages, was to show that the spirit that governed them should reign thro' our lives. The spirit of progress governed all their acts.

Would it be a good argument against railroads because Geo. Washington never rode in one (Loud laughter and Cheers.) Or against Jilibnstcr ing because Jefferson never thought of it (Renewed laughter.) Or against the Collins steamers because Benjamin Franklin never crossed the Allan tic in one of them (Tremendous laughter.) We must keep pace with the progress of the age. A New Town. We see by a notice in ihe Watchman, that an application is to be made to the Board of Supervisors of Suffolk county, at their next session, for a division of the town of Huntington. The proposition is to divide the town into two, by a line running in an easterly and westerly direction the north part to be called Huntington, and the south part Babylon.

The inhabitants do not appear to be agreed with respect to the particular location of the division line. A part are in favor of making the Long Island Railroad the boundary between the two towns, and another part prefer a different location. Novja Shooting. On Tuesday last, a shark, measuring about four feel, was shot in Dorchester Bay, by a man named James Coddeii, of South Boston. He was laying on the top of the water, apparently asleep.

After lie was wounded, lie made for the shore, where he became entangled in the seaweed, and was killed with the butt uf the gun. This is the second shark which has been killed in this harbor, where they are probably attracted by the large quantities oi fish, upon which they subsist. Burglary and Robherv. At a late hour lastniht the'stoi of Mr. J0.

Doremus, carpenter and builder in Seventh street, was burglariously entered and robbed of various articles to ihe value of 850. The thieves broke open ti tool chest, and rummaged the place thoroughly. They carried oil' a lot of valuable tools, besides a considerable number of sashes and doors. A reward of SI 0 has been offered by Mr. D.

for the discovery of the burglars. Witliamsburgh Times. The man who committed suicide by turning himself inside out and crawling through his boots, is not expected to live. iest my friends might have just cause of complaint from my silence to a later period. That my motive may not be misunderstood, in this, permit me to say, that in my opinion, the dele gates to the nominating convent ion "liould be chosen of unpledged men; that in deliberations they could take up and canvass the merits of all presented to their consideration, without favor to any excepting mat flowing lrom the conviction Of unwavering Democratic Republican fidelity, upheld by ample moral and intellectual qualifications.

While, without egotism, I think I niiitht be trusted for my political fide) ity, and am willing my moral character should be esli mated by ihosi: who know me best and longest, in the city of my birth, and for most of mv life of my abode, it would be extremely vain in me to suppose there ate not great numbers of others oi qualifications at leas: equal in these panic ulars, and of a greatly superior order of talents and intellect, nile, therelore, cannot see that my name could come before the Convention with any especial claims, (for it has never even been tried at the. ballot boxes) it must be plain that my present desire is only to avoid disappointment for such friends as may have the convention, should their partiality be sufficient to secure my nomination. Nor do I think, for any trivial reason, a man should shrink from a fair share of the public duty his fellow citizens, in their good opinion, based upon their deliberate judgments, should confer on him. And, in this connexion, it is a happy reflection, under our free institutions, that the honest representative may dismiss many a doubt in reference to himself, in view of the generous sympathy of an enlightened constituency towards him. Entertaining these sentiments, I have endeavored faithfully to consider my own duty, and to what conclusions I should bring myself; and in doing so, 1 do not hesitate to say, my inclination has been to leave myself in the hands of the convention, (should my name come up there,) without any interference on my own part.

I say without interference, because think great care should be taken, (I had almost said the most jealous scrutiny should be exercised,) in regard to those who seek honor and preferment for themselves for too frequently such aim to represent themselves, and not their constituents. But for myself, in view of my own private affairs the business obligations which press upon me, which I cannot throw oiY, certainly not for some time to come, nor in faithfulness to my correspondents, consent to delegate important trusts to others I would be constrained to decline even this distinguished honor, should the partiality of my friends accord it to me at the present time. Although I have reached a period of life when my ambition has become comparatively tame, I confess the conclusion to withhold my name from the convention, (if they should have done me the honor to entertain the consideration of it,) has cost me no sm. ill eflbrf fori look forward to the administration of Franklin Pierce, whose election I consider a future certainty, as one of the most brilliant in the histo ry of the nation. And the representative of the city of Brooklyn, (if a democrat, sound and true for I am sure none other can have that man's political confidence,) in the first Congress under that administration, will hold an elevation much to be envied; for no representative can boast a higher order of constituency, either for its influence, or moral and intellectual power.

So far as it may be necessary to place me in a proper attitude before my friends, that being the object of this letter, you are at liberty to give it publicity. 1 am. mv dear sir, Very faithfully, Your friend and servant, J. H. Bboweh.

Samuel P. Robinson, Another Terrific Scant Accident. On Saturday, the steamer Reindeer burst her boii ler at Bristol, forty miles this side of Albany. She left New York on Saturday morning at 7 o'clocki for Albany, under the command of Captain C. W.

Farnham, having on board a large number of passengers. Immediately after she left Bristol landing, one of her pipes exploded, killing ten or twelve persons instantly, and others that were badly scalded have since died. A large number of passengers were scalded, and some others will probably die of their injures. The. pipe which connects the flues, called the connection of the return flues, burst.

The steam forced its way through a partition between decks, and from thence through a pantry into the lower cabin, where a large number of passengers were dining. It is said that nearly every person in that cabin was either killed or seriously injured. The force of the steam also carried away the smoke pipe, which fell across the hurricane deck, breaking it down. Above the deck no one was injured, except the engineers and cooks. The explosion occurred shortly after one o'clock P.

iI. Many of (he passengers were dining jn the lower saloon when the catastrophe occurred. The boilers being below deck, the loss of life was most serious in that cabin. A majority of the killed are believed to be waiters at the table. The wounded were taken on shore, and every attention was paid them by the citizens.

The number of passengers on board is reported at 300. A number of them threw themselves into the river. The Reindeer was considered to be in an excellent condition this being the second season that she has been upon the line. She was 322 feet long, 3 1 feet wide, and 9 feet deep. Her burden, S50 tons, and her cost about 6100,000.

Mr. Thomas Collyer built her for Captain De Groot, and she was launched March 2d, 1S50. A large number of the friends of those on board immediately repaired to the scene of the disaster, to look for friends, take care of the injured, or take charge of the remains of the killed. The scene of the calamity is most painful. The body of the steward wub brought to Potigh keepsie by the down train on Saturday evening.

It was believed that seven or eight more of the injured would die during last night. The following is a list of the dead, as far as ascertained up to seven o'clock yesterday evening: James Brown of New York. Frederick Morrell, bar keeper. F. Donair, fireman.

Peter Foucke, waiter. John Bowers, do. Robert Farrell, do. Solomon (colored) of lihinebeck, drowned. Mrs.

Sarah M. Lockwood. of Albany. Augustus W. Whipple of Mass.

Rev. George R. Williamson, of Amity, Saratoga county. Norman Piatt Williamson, son of the preceding. William H.

Snell of Richmond, Va. So far there are twenty seven deaths, and it is pretty certain that others of the badly scalded cannot live. The famous Madam Sonlug, (Countess Rossi) the illustrious prima donna, arrived last evening in the Arctic, accompanied by her husband and suite, and proceeded to the Union Place Hotel. Eckert, the distinguished composer and pianist is with her. A serenade is to be given Madam Sontag during the week, which will be ihe greatest ever given in New York.

Jt is said there will be fifteen hundred instruments. She is a very beautiful woman, and exceedingly amiable. She gave a concert on board the vessel, which excited much enthusiasm, and all the passengers are said to have been greatly delighted with her. To morrow evening Alboni gives another great concert at Metropolitan Hall. A a large and fashionable audience will be in attendance.

The surviving victim was taken to her home, at Red Hook Point in this city, and has been attended by Dr. Cochrane, who regard? her case even now as fraught with uncertainty.

And so let it be, to teach hiin how fallacious Along the borders of the old ocean, for miles, you can see the beautiful snow white beach, garnished with thousands of bright shells, which glitter in the sun like jewels tin a maiden's breast. But we must leave nature, beautiful as she is, bouhteous in her gifts, ever changing, whether we see her in.the spring flowers or in the glowing fruits of summer, or the golden tints of autumn, or the mountain, or the glades in the forest, or the plain, among embowering trees, or in the drooping violet beneath the leaf. Still thou art lovely and grand, pure and beauteous. "Though changed in all, and yet in all the same, Great in the earth, as in the etheriai frame." Thy hand is every where to brighten the dark scenes of life, to invigorate ihe pale cheek of ihe invalid, or to greet the traveller's eye with gladness as he approaches his country home.

Each one is master of his instru ment, and to hear them discourse music from operas with the most delicate sweetness is, indeed, a treat. Perhaps you have heard them, if not, you should take advantage of the first opprtunity. There is about forty in the band and beautiful music they make. But I must hasten my letter to a conclusion.

The next will treat of a far different subject of heroes and kings for a night, of Gods and goddesses, of Turks and Arabs, all moving in one conglomerate mass. I had better cease, for "the glow which in my spirit dwelt, is fluttering faint and low. A. R. The State Ticket.

Our readers will have remarked that the Democratic Convention, recently in session at Syracuse, has nominated all the present democratic state officers, and for Governor has selected Mr. Seymour, who was the candidate of the party at the last gubernatorial election, and defeated by a very inconsiderable majority, in consequence of internal dissensions, now happily at an end. Mr. Seymour's eminent qualifications for the exalted position to which it is lo be hoped the election in November will elevate him, are well known to the democracy of the state. He has been a member of our Legislature, repeatedly and for many years exerted an important influence upon the political and legislative history of the States.

He owes his nomination in part to the high and just appreciation ol his talents by the democracy, in part to a desire to avenge his undeserved defeat when last before the people, and in part to the firm and manly stand which he took against the corrupt administration of the canal property of the state since the accession of his successful competitor, Gov. Hunt. The latter brought to his support in the Convention almost the entire vote of the radical democracy, and disarmed the opposition of many of whom he was not the first choice. Of the other candidates upon the ticket, it is unnecessary to speak in detail. They are known by their works, for, during the past two or three years, they have held the offices to which thev are renominated; and by their works they desire to be judged, or they would not seek a re election.

Jt had been our impression that, in some particulars, the ticket might have been improved by a change, but very likely "we are mistaken. The Convention represented every shade of political opinion in the party, with more than average fairness, and the presumption is that the best was done that was to be done. Ere. Post. Boat Race.
