OT NSW TORK FOR CLtRC OF THE COURT OF APP1AI4 HORATIO G. WARNER, OF KONBOB COUNTY. When men rise up in rebellion to the laws, they should look far enough past their noses to ee where their usurpation is to end. San Francisco mobltes and abolition rebsls flourish occa tonslly violation of law, and other nation! Imagine their doings to exhibit the weakness of the government; when they merely show its conscious strength, which hardly considers them worthy of being put down. That the law is stronger and reaches further than disorganiserg imagine, will be seen by the following, which we copy from the New York Tribune It has been our duty, from time to time, to chronicle a number of assaults upon members or supposed members of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee who happened to bs in the city but yesterday one of their victims took steps, by way of reprisal, in a more peaceable and lawful man mer.

Mr. Wm. T. Coleman, who, it is said, was President of the Executive Committee, was arrested and admitted to $50,000 bail in a suit brought by John B. Malony to recover damages for injury to person and property in consequence of his imprisonment and expulsion from California.

Mr. Malony, it is affirmed, so far from being one of the rascals who have formed the bulk of the exiles, is a very respectable gentleman. He was in charge of Gov. Johnson's arms and ammunition when they were seized by the forces of the Committee. After an imprisonment of several days he was banished, on signing if we are to believe his ownstory a paper affirming that his departure was voluntary.

Mr. Malony' example in suing Mr. Coleman to his character, he shall busy himself accord ingly. Now Mr. Editor if Mr.

Douglass or any other citizen, because of his political opinions is to be thus anathematised by one who professes to 1 love his neighbor," and who inculcates the duty of living peaceably with all men" what are we to expect from those who are without the fold? Border Ruffians would have too much refinement with all their "Missouri dirt" to become their By their fruits ye shall know them." East Brooklyn. Night Scavsngebs Board ot Health. Cannot the work which the night scavengers have to do be restricted to the frosty season of the year And when it is done, should it not al ways be preceded by the disinfection of the pT" miseg, so that it may be rendered less injurious to health and less disagreeable to the occupants of houses in the neighborhood Surely our honorable Board of Health can do something to abate this crying evil. The landing of a thousand cargoes of hides would not compare as to their deleterious influence on public health with a single job of the scavengers. Quirt.

If all the night soil wm properly collected and taken care of, as it most certainly ought to be, would there be the least need of sending our ships 10,000 miles for guano Pboomss. Brooklyn, Sept. 15th. Mr. Editor I see in your valuable sheet that our friend S.

8. PowMJd is spoken of as a candidate for the office of Mayor. Now sir I hope that h.3 wiU receive the nomination of the Democratic Convention, and if he should his eleetion is certain. He is a man that the Democratic party lb. John F.

Hxnusarr made a most eloquent address in which lie ridiculedjthe petty schemes used to divide the Democratic party and pledged the.fith ward to give from 800 to 1,000 majority in November. We are sorry our space compels to omit his able and interesting speech, as well as those of Eon. HhtbyA. Moors and Colonel Graham, the latter of whom was enthusiastically cheered. The meeting adjourned at eleven o'clock harmoniously and in good spirits certain of a brilliant Democratic triumph in November.

Vinti of Cbrrttpondtntt. Every Man In His Own House. Mb. Editor In one respect New York and Brooklyn differ essentially from any other city the migratory habits of the people. Take any neighborhood in our cities you will find, perhaps, a few permanent residents the far greater portion of the families moved there in May and will remove the next.

Thus, the population fluctuates from year to year. Beside the trouble and waste of these constant removals, are evils of a domestic and social character. Families just begin to be acquainted with each other, and perhaps form agreeable associations persons become connected with the churches of their choice children just begin to become attached to their teachers, and to improve under their care. May comes and all these relations are broken up and new ones begin to be made, which in their turn are as soon dissolved. iWhy is this so peculiar to New York and its vicinity It is because so few people own the houses which they livt.

The larger portion of our people are tenants. In Boston and in the towns at the East, and in Philadelphia and Baltimore, and the cities at the South, and even in the newly settled West, the reverse is the case the larger portion of people are owners of their own houses. Various schemes, such as building associations, have been devised and in part executed to remedy this evil. These have mostly failed on account of defective organisa tion and bad management. The remedy is, first, that people be awakened to the great evils and inconvenience of this perpetual change of residence, and then to point in a practical manner the method to be pursued, by which a much larger portion of our people could live in their own houses if they would.

First, let every young man, whenever he be gins life either to work at Mb trade or to exercise his profession or to start business for himself, resolutely determine that he will, as soon as possible, livi in hit own house. Let him lay by, after supplying his absolutely necessary wants, such a weekly or monthly sum as he can afford for this object let him use one of the Savings Banks as the keeper of this fund. Whenever he shall have secured such a sum as will make the first payment for a lot, or house and lot, let one De purchased witn the money thus saved, and a bond and mortgage given for the remainder of the purchase money. Before making a contract, let him ask the choice of a judicious friend, and consult a respectable Attorney as to title, To reduce this to practice by a supposed example say a person has five hundred dollars, he can purchase a house and lot to the value of fifteen hundred dollars. He gires a bond and mortgage for one thousand dollars.

Upon this he pays annuallyor interest instead of rent, seventy dollars. He owns his home, and whatever im provements he makes, they are his own he hss a debt of his own, which he can pay, and as he can afford he lives among neighbors and not among strangers, and by prudence and economy after a little while he lives rent free. Let the same ealculation be made commenciner with a thousand dollars, and double, will bo ihs rooulU throughout. I have no hesitation in believing that at the present time there are now living in Brooklyn more than one thousand persons, male and female, who have money enough to make this first payment, either deposited in the Saving Banks, or loaned to friends, or lying by them idle. They do not know how to begin, and perhaps what is worse, who to trust, to aid them in getting house of their own.

There never was, and never will be agaia, so favorable an opportunity for making a purchase on easy terms as now. Building has been overdone, and houses and lots may be purchased in some paHs of our city for less than the houses cost. From long experience the writer of this has observed that those mechanics, tradesmen and clerks, who have adopted this course, have uniformly prospered more than those who either hoard up their funds or for want of stimulus to exertion, spend as they go. E. M.

3. Freedom or Speech. The self styled advocates of freedom in these latter days evince a remarkable degree of fondness for freedom of speech, and complain bitterly because at the South their attempts to defraud the people of their rights and alienate one section of the country against another have so signally failed. None, Mr. Editor, are more violent in maintaining the right to express their opinions upon all subjects, in all places and upon all occasions than the Bev.

gentleman who won so much applause by his eloquence at the Broadway Tabernacle on Tuesday night, and if blackguardism or irreverence for things sacred can assist in promoting the cause he advocates, the Fremont party have reason to congratulate themselves that Mr. Beecher has taken the stump. If by freedom of speech is meant the right for a minister of the Gospel not only to lay aside the solemn duties of his calling for the political arena to discuss politics, but also to deal out slander and bring religion itself into ridicule, it is time that the mighty voice of the press should be heard in condemnation of such proceedings. Far be it from me to say aught against any man who is laboring to extend the Kingdom of Christ that would paralyze his efforts in the smallest degree in that direction, but when ministers, having set themselves apart for this great object, so far prostitute the talents which God has given them to be employed for his glory to base purposes, every Christian should frown upon such acts, so manifestly opposed to the spirit of Christianity. Speaking of Mr.

Calhoun's doctrine that "Slavery is a moral and political right," Mr. Beecher calls it "damnable." Not long since the writer heard this Bev. gentleman say in respect to Slavery where it exists, he would have a "wall built high as Heaven to protect it." How consistent for one who regards the slavery institution as so "damnable" For Mr. Douglass of Illinois he seems to have a perfect hatred, and places him between Bene diet Arnold, and Judas. Proceeding further, he inquires who wiU bring the key to Purgatory or below that, I want to send tidings down to Judas, (roars of laughter).

It is of no use, though Judas will never hear the whole story till he of Illinois goes down and confers with him on the subject." He also informs us 1 when God Almighty makes an issue, you have got to stand up to the rack Mr. Fremont in his estimation is only tetond in the scale of statesmen at the present dav, and gravely teUs us that "while one President was plotting his schemes for personal advancement. John C. Fremont was holding communion with his God." On this subject we have Mr. Fremont's own confession, that when in California he was in the habit of spending his sabbaths in writing letters and seldom went to But enouch, surelv a cood cause needs no such weapons as these, or misstatements to commend it favorably to sensible men.

In justification of the foregoing, which we are given to Understand, is but a prelude to what we may expect from the same source, we are told by Mr. Beecher that be cause making political speeches gives dignity' deceivedbutnnitogether and triumph in November next. hls Paper hu tlx Luxut Clrnltion af Statu, Xta Tain as an Advertising Sbdinaa winnn apparent FRIDAY EVJENTKG, SEPTEMBER 10 The Assembly Komlnatlons. The great Dramatist has put an expression into the mouth of Cardinal Womst which politicians would do wall to lay to heart "Corruption wine not more than honesty." Honesty is the best policy besides being the most honorable. The officer who barters the Interests of his con stituents is sure to be rejected on the first op portunity and is never furnished with a second chance of betraying the public trust.

The faith ful officer on the other hand is rewarded with renewed confidence, and having been faithful in little things is placed over a great many. Disappointed people who cannot bend party to their own purposes denounce it as corrupt but there is not a single avenue of ambition, of fame or distinction in life where honesty is more es sential to continued success than in politics. The Schemer and Demagogue may deceive the public, but he is soon discovered his preten sions are seen through and he soon finds himself nmong the dtbrit of rejected materials. As an instance of the result of faithful services we may refer to the recent action of the First Assembly District Convention. The re nomination of Mr.

Hanjord by the First Assembly District Convention was a proper recognition of the able and intelligent manner in which he had discharged the duties of the last session. Oa this point we extract the following paragraph from the Prttt: Our Assemblyman. The renomination of Mr. John Hanforo for tho Assembly, by the Democratic Convention on Monday, gives universal satisfaction not only to tbe Democracy of the District, but to the public generally. Mr.

capable and intelligent discharge of his duties during the last session, earned for him the approbation of his constituents without respect to party, and his re nomination is a compliment justly his due, and the flattering unanimity with which it was awarded to him, is the bejt kevi dence that the Convention so regarded it. Of his election there cannot be the least doubt. The other Assembly nominations are equally unobjectionable. We observe that Mr. Muiu fiAK is eulogised by his party opponents, and the S'ttr acknowledges his fitness and personal popularity.

Mr. Funk, the nominee of the Third District, is an unobtrusive man, and the party could not have better shown its sense of merit than by selecting him. His character is composed of the right stuff, and he will arouse an universal en thusiasm among the rank and file of the Democracy. He is no closet theorist, but an active, business man, and moreover a man of with intelligence enough to know his duty, and with energy enough to see it executed. Had the apportionment of the State taken place, Kings eounty would now have seven instead of three members.

We must make up for the disparity by sending men of the right stamp to Albany. Mr. Fuhi is so thoroughly identified with the Interests of his district that he knows its wants, and will attend to them effectually if elected. Let the voters of the district see to it that he is elected and that handsomelv. The HoBiluntlons.

Bcforo and After. At a Mass Meoting of the Democrats of the Fifth Ward held last evening, an excited indi vidual made an attempt to disturb the meeting by an exclamation unfavorable to Mr, Taylor, our candidate for Congress. He was instanta neously and unanimously hissed down. This shows the feeling of the meeting, and it exh'b ite a spirit which cannot be too much applauded. We hold it to be the privilege and the duty of very man who takes an active part in politics to use his influence in securing the nomination of such men as he prefers.

After he does so, if he succeeds by fair and honorable means in placing his favorites in nomination, he, of course, ex pects every member of his party to go for them heart and hand, and would have good reason to eomplain if they did not. But if he fails, and others are put up, he would be dishonorable and unworthy of associating with honorable men if he did not do as he would expect others to do in his own case and labor for the success of the fortunate candidates. uur, were are some men who are more injury than advantage to any party, who say little or nothing before the nominations are made, but let them go by default so far as they are concerned, and then kick if they find that their wishes have not been in every respect satisfied. Unless men are bound by the ties of party honor, all organization among them would speedily come to an end. With regard to Mr.

Taylor, we see no reason why he should not be unanimously supported as the incident of last night sufficiently proves that he will be. On the great topic of disunion he Is perfectly sound, and on tills point no man could better represent the conservative sentiment of this district. He is a ready and eloquent debitor, and possessed of fine literary talents calculated to adorn the office. We were not among his noisy and clamorous advocates previous to his nomination, but we hope he may find those who were equally his succers now. As to those who tell Democrats that Mr.

Tatlob was this that or tother thing, and they should not vote for him, we ask them to consider the source of the objections. They will be invariably found to emanate from Know Nothing or Black Eepublican sources. Instead of bsing deceived by these insiduous attacks, voters should shield the gentlemen against whom they are levelled by more zealous efforts in his behalf. Governor Johnston's letter to the North American Executive Committee, declining the nomination for Vice President, is published together with a letter from the Secretary of the North American Committee, to the Chairman of the Eepublican Executive Committee, urging the resignation of Mr. Dayton, and a joint Convention of the two parties, to nominate a new man and one that will unite the suffrages of both.

We learn that Dr. H. Bailey, the physician at Fort Hamilton, has been stricken down by yellow fever. vDr. Bailey Has been in the midst of the disease 'since its commencement, and we believe was the first to designate it as yellow fever.

He was taken ill yesterday, but we trust that it may not be of a severe type. The Treasurer of the Hamilton Belief Society, Charles X. Sears, has also been prostrated, together with two others. Last evening the largest Ward meeting we have seen during the present canvas, was held at the Brooklyn Hotel corner of Prospect street and Hundson avenue. Hudson avenue, upon which the platform stood, was literally a "lea of up turned facet" for a block on either tide, and the windows in the neighborhood contained a fair proportion of thenrr sex.

At each corner of the platform were transpa rencies with appropriate mottoes, and over it was the most beautiful one we have seen, bearing a Buck resting upon the rock of the Constitution and the motto, Kings County good for majority for Old Buck." Stretched aeross the street was a flag bearing a similar design with the names of the Democratic candidates for the Presidency. The following gentlemen were unanimously nominated as officers of the meeting. Presidents. Jouk J. Wnira, Eusiu Thbil.

Vies Presidents. 1st District, Messru. Gardiner, MeQuoener, Jam Butler, Hugh Bell. 2ud District, Charles Korrijan, John Rodger, Alfred Clarko, Jacob Webber, John Amerman. 3rd District, Charles McColgau, Arthur Wellwood, Patrick Kecler, Andrew Cunningham, Thomas Galnor.

Secretaries I H. O'Beirne, Philip H. Grogan, Thomas A. O'Niel. Mr.

Schumakxb, candidate for District Attor ney was the first speaker but had concluded as our reporter reached the ground, and we are consequently unable to furnish a report of his remarks. Mr. John Kerrigan of New York sang a campaign song which was loudly cheered. Mr. Francis B.

Spinola was proud to be able to address such a large meeting. He spoke at some length and argued that the spirit which animated the opponents of Democracry was a spirit of bigotted and fanatical persecution of political and religious liberty, but in November next that spirit would receive a chill from which it could never recover. For a year or two he had strayed from the fold of Democracy, but he had found he was wrong, and he would now fight for the cause to the last. He reviewed the various nomination for the Presidency and contended that the Convention which had nominated John C. Fremont, and the party which had declared in favor of Fillmore, were all alike, Know Nothings hostile to the "rights of foreigners.

In 1835, in this that party had circulated a petition to Congress praying that the term necessary for the naturalization of foreign born citizens should be extended to twenty one years. He was glad to say that the signers of that petition had been politically dead ever since, and he was sure that not one amongst the vast crowd present would vote for a single nominee of that party. An excited individual here, attempted to influence the crowd against George Taylor, but was silenced by the enthusiastic cheers of the assemblage, who gave three cheers for Taylor, three for Spinola, and then hissed the disturber down. Mr. John Kerrigan then sang a Know Nothing lament, which elicited much laughter and cheering.

Judge Vandekbilt was then introduced, and was received with three times three cheers that made the welkin ring. He said he had not had many opportunities of addressing the Ward meetings of the city, but as circumstances had been favorable, he could not allow them to pass without giving a few moments to the Democracy of the Fif ih Ward. The Fifth had always been the stronghold of Democracy in the City of Brooklyn, and upon every occasion, in every great crisis they had carried their banner to the breeze (immense cheering) In the present great and most important crisis he had no doubt the Democracy of the 5th would march shoulder to shoulder with their brethren in other localities, and that the party would again be triumphant. The question now was simply shall sectionalism prevail to the destruction of the Union, or shall the Union stand. He was sure there was not one who heard him who would vote for the representative of a section.

Their cry should be the Union and nothing but the Union. The whole matter lay in the power of the Democracy. If they were but true to themselves and to then principles they could not be defeated. Mr. B.

Thomas announced that Captain Isaiah Rynders, of New York, who had accepted an invitation to address the meeting, was unavoidably absent from sickness. Mr. P. H. O'Beiene read the following letter from George Taylor, Esq September 18, 1856.

Ge.vtle.mex I deeply regret that my health prevents me from being with you to uight. My medical adviser is unwilling to havo mo go out into the ni.ht nir. Make my excuso to the Democrats of the Fifth Ward, and say that I trust that they will have many public meetings under the guidance ot your club, at some of which I may speak ere long. Tours, GEO. TAYLOR.

To P. H. O'Beirsi, and others, Committee, etc. After the letter was read, three hearty cheers were given for Mr. Taylor.

Samuel Garrison, said that when he had first come and noticed the dark lantern (which was hung in front of the platform) he had been afraid he had got into the wrong box and was only reassured when he saw so many old Democrats of the 6th Ward Mr. John F. Hennessy and others around him. If that lantern had been hungup as an ornament it was sadly out of place but if it was there to be spit upon and trampled under foot it was right. It was well enough to shew their detestation of the cause of which it is the symbol.

The old 5th had always done their duty. Dark lanternism had no favor there. No "ism" had a resting place in the 5th Ward. It would be an idle question to ask why they were assembled. Every one knew it.

Upon the efforts of the Democracy rested the destinies of the country. Under the Democracy the country had attained its present greatness, and the two parties who had taken the field against them did not propose to govern better. Where then the necessity for a change. The down trodden millions of Europe were looking anxiously to this country and praying for the election of Buchanan; but tyrants were working for Fremont. That English gold had been lavished in the present canvass was evident from the tone of the English papers which advocated the election of Fremont in order that the unity of the States might be dissolved.

And who was Fremont A man who a few years ago deserted his followers in the snows on the top of the Bocky Mountains, and made his way himself into California. There a noble Missourian woman, great in her soul, and magnificent in her proportions, for she was six feet three in her stocking soles, seeing that he was an American, threw open her doors and received him with open arms. She asked him whence he came, and on bsing told, inquired if he had crossed the Mountains alone No replied Fremont, I had some foUowers, but they are all dead. You did not leave them, asked the lady, whilst they were alive Some of them answered Fremont, were still living, but as they would soon be dead I thought it was of no use risking my life to save theirs. And who are you inquired the dame.

I am John C. Fremont. And what are you good for Travelling a i ni j. meat uu uuveimig. jLiien, Bam tne lady, throwing open the door, let me see you travel.

No man with an American heart would desert his comrades whilst life lasted, and I would not risk the indignation of Heaven by harboring such a miscreant. Is this the man for President Or would yon vote for Millard FiUmore, the nominee of the proscriptionists, a man who, when in the presidential chair might have extended the area of freedom but did not. Mr. Garrison then spoke in favor of the nominees on the State and County Tickets, and iu to George Taylor he said he could nbt be mistaken as to his being a good and faithful Democrat. If he had embraced Know Nothingism he has now abjured it.

The charge was a device of the enemy and he would not be entrapped and he hoped the Democrat! of the 6th would not be Electoral Ticket. JOB LEOTOB8 AT LAEOB, ADDISON GARDINER, DAVID L. SETMO US. DISTRICT ELECTORS, JOHN W. LAWRENCE, J.

Political. The Fremonters held a meeting at Albany on Tuesday evening; but the affair proved almost a failure, on account of continued interruptions from a party of rowdies, who shouted for Fillmore, groaned for Fremont, and otherwise disj turbed the meeting. The same evening, an enthusiastic meeting of the Democracy was held at Buffalo, which was addressed by Hon. Amasa J. Parker, Hon.

David L. Seymour, and Hon. James Wadsworth. At Borne and Little Falls, Democratic meetings were held on Monday. Hon.

G. C. Sherman spoke at "Watertown on Saturday. On Friday night, H. Ludlow, late Speaker of the Assembly, addressed a meeting of the Democracy at Orient, east end of Long Island.

Mr. Ludlow is doing great service for Buchanan in that quarter. The Court House in Warsaw was filled to over flowing with Democrats, on Friday night. Hon. John B.

Skinner, and Mr. Colgrove, of Buffalo, addressed them. One of the largest meetings ever held in Northern Ohio, was that of the Democracy at Bucy rus, on Saturday last. Fifteen thousand people are said to have been present. A procession, one mile in length, was formed, composed of carriages, horsemen, and citisens on foot.

Among the numerous vehicles were six wagons, each containing thirty one ladies, each lady bearing a flag with the name of a State inscribed thereon. The assembly was addressed from three different stands, by distinguished speakers. At another Democratic meeting, held at Gi lead, Ohio, it was estimated that from twenty to twenty five thousand personsw ere present. Five different stands for speakers were occupied during the entire afternoon. Gen.

Sam Houston, Col. Acorn and others, spoke at Memphis, on Monday, to the "Americans" of that city. A torch light pro cession was improvised for the occasion after the speaking. The same evening the Democracy were adressed by Hon. John V.

Wright and others. A Democratic paper called the Texas Irddligm etr, is about being started at Austin, Texas. The Cleveland Plaindeder says: "We have just seen a veteran Democrat, a soldier of the revolution, Paul S. Ridgway, of Harrison county. He votes for Buchanan, has seven sons, eight sons in law, and twenty four grand sons, aU of whom, except one grand son, (who votes for Fillmore) vote for Buck and Breck." Senator Isaac Toucey, it is said, wiU take the stump in Connecticut this week for Buchanan, of course.

Mr. Underwood, the expelled from Virginia, addressed a Eepublican meeting at Norwich, on Thursday last. Hon. Henry How, who has been printed in the Eepublican papers as being for Fremont, acted as Vice President of the great Buchanan and Breckinridge meeting in Philadelphia, on the 17th inst. Twenty five thousand Democrats assembled at Tiffin, Ohio, on the 10th to listen to speech from Senator Pugh and others.

It was said to have been one of the largest and most enthusiastio meetings ever held in the State. The Democratic mass meeting at Hornellsvillel on the anniversary of Perry's victory, was the greatest political demonstration that has been made during the present contest, in the "Southern tier." Fifteen thousand persons are said to have been present. Speeches were made from two different stands, by Hon. Messrs. Van Buren, Dickinson, and Cook, and Mr.

H. Bemis. Both the Americans and Bepublicans held mass meetings at PlattBbursrh on the 11th mat. The number present at both meetings was estimated at 10,000. Erastus Brooks, and Mr.

Por rin, of Tennessee, were thebriehter luminaries at the Fillmore stand. The Bepublicans were disappointed in their speakers not a man who was advertised to speak being present. An enthusiastic meetine of the Democracv was held in Columbia, on Thursday week. W. F.

Sherrod of Indiana was the principal speaker. On Saturday there were tremendous gatherings at Philadelphia, Parkesburg and Darby, Delaware county. Twenty thousand persons are said to have been present at the ParkesburR meeting. Hon. Chas.

Brown, Forney, Cadwalader, Eandall, Marshall. Florence, ana right, were anions: those who spoke at the several meetings. Senator Isaac Toucey addressed! a large meet ing of the Democracy at New Haven on Wednesday evening. He was followed by Hon. Colin M.

Ingersoll and David J. Peck, Esq. After the meetine, he was escorted by the New Haven brass band to the Tontine, where a large compa ny 01 lames ana gentlemen awaitea mm. On of the best Democratic meetings ever held in Waterbury, took place on Monday lait. Addresses were made by W.

Bishop and Fish, Esq. may, and doubtless will, be followed by all the rascals in whose company it was his misfortune to take steamer for this city. Strange that the Vigilance Committee should have forgotten, that in banishing criminals and dangerous characters from ban Francisco, they were banishing them selves from the rest of the country And pass ing strange that a city should have been selected as the port of delivery which their own business engagements often compelled them to visit. They should have foreseen that they would, as a matter of course, be assaulted by the ruffians among their victims and sued by the rest and should have guarded against a result which in volved, not only personal injury and pecuniary loss, but a public exposure of all their doings and the mortification of enriching those whom they had banished or punished for the public good. They ought to have accomplished their purifying work with a keener eye to its future consequences to themselves.

Death or ax Eminent Man. We regret to say that a rumour was prevalent in the City Hal this morning, that Lorenzo P. Suepabd Chairman of Tammany Hall Democratic General Republican Committee of Tammany Hall, was found dead in his bath this morning. We give the rumour for what it is worth, but trust it is not correct. We have received a copy of the beautiful bal lad.

"We'll all meet again in the morning," words by H. Clay Preus, music by Thomas Baker, from the publisher Horace Waters, No. 338 Broadway, N. Y. The melody is very simple and tender, and well adapted to give expression to the exquisite pathos of the poetry.

Prim Fight in the Jbeseys. A couple of pugilists named Lynch, the keeper of a dance house in Water street, and Ferris of the Fifth Ward, N.Y., proceeded up theN. Biver yesterday in steamboats for the purpose of contesting their relative merits as fighters. The "mill" came off near the Pallisades and resulted in the defeat of Lynch, who was terribly beaten. They fought eighty five rounds.

It was reported last night that Lynch was killed, but subsequent information disproves the report. A State Convention of Virginia Bepublicans was held at Wheeling, yesterday, and a Fremont electoral ticket was nominated, The meeting passed off without interruption. Death or Sin John Boss. The English papers contain intelligence of the death of the celebrated Arctic navigator, Sir John Boss, Bear Admiral in the British Navy, at the advanced age of 80. Having entered the Navy in 1786, he took an active part in the war of the end of the last and beginning of the present century.

In 1818 he accompanied Sir Edwnrd Parry in his expedition to the Arctic Seas, and subsequently spent upwards of four years there, from 1829 to 1833, in command of another expedition to these inhospitable regions, and on his return, leceived the honor of knighthood from William IV. for his distinguished services. By recent despatches from Kansas we learn that the State prisoners have beenjreleased on bail, and their friends at Lawrence celebrated the event by general rejoicing. Gov. Geary had reached Lawrence and issued a proclamation, in which he, of course, ordered all bands of armed men to disperse.

This will destroy the calculations of the cut throat Abolitionists. Maine. Votes for Governor from 895 towns give Hamlin, Eepublican, 64,331 Wells, 40,526 Patten, Whig, 6,050. The only Dem. Senator elected is Geo.

W. Smith, from Aroostook county. The representatives, as far as heard from, stand, 117 Bepublicans to 27 Union. The Portland Argus, alluding to these results, says "Every fever has its crisis and its termination. Every tide that rises high, ebbs low.

The fanaticism of the day cannot last. It is comparatively harmless while it expends itself only in one or two doubtful States. It will beat vainly against the breakwater of Pennsylvania.

llalonoy. The Riot at Baxtimoee. The riot in Balti more on Friday night, which was reported as a fight between the Fillmore and Buchanan par ties, proves to have been a street skirmish among some rowdies, and had nothing to do with politics. The Baltimore Amtriean, a Whig paper, says Now that the excitement consequent upon this tragedy has somewhat subsided, we have been enabled to gather the facts connected with its origin. As before stated the Rip Bap Club es corted another club to their head quarters on Federal Hill, and were on their way home when the riot begun, and had proceeded down Henri et ta street as far as Hanover.

There was another party, composed of five young men, who had a flag and drum. While these were passmg, one of them named Bush made an attack upon a man named Oliver Halsup with a slung shot, but he was intoxicated at the time and Halsup refused to take any notice of him, and told him to go away. The difficulty would probably have ended here but James Clazy resented the insult offered to Haslup, and in turn assaulted Bush. Several then got to fighting, and one of the five ran after the Bip Bap club and requested them to come back. A large majority of them refused, but about fifteen or twenty of the more disorderly returned with the messenger and began to throw Btones, when the first fire was made from Chwk's house.

The parties firing the guns and pistols were James E. Clark, Wm. Clazy, James Clazy, David Sanks, John Carter, John Hartlowe, and three others, whose names we could not learn. All of these have been arrested except Sanks, whose wound is of such a nature that he eannot be removed. We called yesterday evening at the houses where the more seriously wounded are, and found that they were still alive except one.

Jas. T. Caulk was rapidly sinking, having had a severe hemorrhage for several hours. Wm Jones, the voung man reported dead, but who had only swooned from loss of blood, revived somewhat, but is still in a critical condition. Frederick Albright, the lad who was shot thro' the lungs, after suffering extreme agony until Sunday morning, died, mortification having supervened.

Levi Kelly is beyond all hope, his wound being of such a character as to render recovery almost impossible. All the others, as far as we could learn, are getting along quite com tortaDiy. The whole affair originated through the indis cretion of Bush, who made the first assault, and had he been arrested on the snot, the innocent victims who have lost their lives or who are now on beds of suffering would have escaped..
