MUltklll.llW Idterary Jtotleea. I Decline of American Supremacy on the Beat. THE POLICE COMHISSIOSEaS XEBIWVBTS. PLEBtHT AND PBOFITABLE. who ito lately were boasting of American" supremacyfon the seas, to see England outstripping us' in her steam marine LHnw triunmhantly when trip to trip thyeale eunnrders, and: saw with exultation when from ShrFati Baltic.

But the Ajgo went: to the "deep unfathomed caves of ocean," the shared the dark fate of the President Sieerj while the Adriatic was yet unfinished. Bet of Legislators deprived the line of partof ite' support, at the very time they most heeded it, and the line fell from its proud position to our na tional disgrace. England wiser in he; genera tion has aided and urged on enterprise in steam navigation and has steadily progressed until her steam marine as far surpasses Stirs as net ftoyal Navy excels our; paltry fleet. The Cttdard liberally supported by the Government has steadily, improved, and though beaten for a time, while the Americans were Testing on their laurels, silently kept on their improvements until they haye placed their line beyond the reach, of competition for years to come. Yesterday the Ocean Steam Navigation Company, who started the first line of steamers to Southampton and Bremen, wound up resolved to.setl their vessels and liquidate their liabilities.

The cause of this wag. the withdrawal of. contract to carry the United. States mail, the freight and passenger not being sufficient to suppprt them. This line, in which were the steamers Washington, Hermann, though not remarkable for speed, was a steady, reliable means pf transport, and as the pioneers of tne ocean steam navigation in this countiry, was entitled to support.

While we have been resting on bur oars or retrograding, England, as we have said, has been steadily progressing. For wood she has substituted iron in the, Construction, which is lighter, cheaper, and more durable. The expensive side wheel steamers, are giving place to screw propellers, which cost far lest to build, and are but a fraction of the expense in fuel are better adapted for freighting business, and have also rivalled them in speed. Nor i6 this all the screw steamers can ruinously compete with sailing. vessels in all branches of commerce, and the fact is inevitr able that fci a few years they will crowd our vaunted clippers and packets from the seas.

While our ship yards from Maine to Carolina are all idle, in England the dock yards are overstocked with work. On the Clyde they are building some three hundred propellers ani have orders enough to keep them employed for three years to come. iOur shipmasters and merchants are beginning to wake up to this startling position of affairs, but nothing is being done to keep us up to the progress 'of the age. The causes which have led to bur present position are several. There is undoubtedly enterprise and capital enough in the United Stales to build up our steam marine equal to England, but instead of being united and co operating with each other, our capitalists and shipmasters have ruined each other by injudicious rivalry, when their spirit of emulation should have taken a more laudable direction in competing with foreign enterprise.

It was obvious in the beginning that no line of steamers could be sustained without help from government, and especially in competition with the heavily subsidized Cun ard line. Yet Congress gave aid grudgingly, and even then the unfortunate domestic rivalry stepped in with party influence in favor of this line, or that, and injured each other by under bidding. Such have been our errors it is not too late to correct them, or to regain what we have lost the supremacy of the seas. Death by Lightning. Kobert McKnight was struck dead about half past eight o'clock last evening, in Lafayetto near Schcnck street He resided at the corner of High street and Hudson and started off in the early part of the evening for the purpose of procuring some gro ceries which he was in the habit of purchasing in Lafayette avenue.

When returning home, as appears to have been the case, he took shelter under the door casing of the house of Stephen Jackson, situated in Lafayette corner Schenck street. The lightning entered the third story at the rear corner, and passing down to the second story, passed to the front of the house breaking the windows of the front, and passing down to the door post of the front door, perforating the easing and entering the brain of the deceased over the left eye, passing through the body, and causing instant death. The occupants of the house were uninjured and Mr. Jackson went to the front door to look out when he discovered something in flimes upon the sidewalk. He stooped down and discovered it to be a man and sent for assistance.

Offieel Hyde came up soon after and discovered deceased lying in the same position as when first found, he was removed to the Station House and the Coroner notified. On examination the clothes were found to have been completely torn to ribbons below the waist and his boots torn to tatters. One of his feet was somewhat crushed by the fluid. In his pocket w8s found one hundred and one dollars in gold which was not touched by the fluid. Deceased worked in the Navy Yard and was about fifty years of age.

He leaves a wife and two children. A young man, name not known, was struck about the same time in Jackson's Hollow and seriously injured. He was taken to the hospital and this morning was slowly recovering. The house of Mr. Stephen Jackson corner of Lafayette avenue and Schenck street was dam aged by lightening to the amount of about two hundred dollars.

Accident to the Steamship Mississippi. Yes terday afternoon, as the U. S. steamship was getting under way from the ivy Yard, she was swung round by the tide, and run into a brig, damaging her considerably. The steamship was then forced against the gas houBe dock.

Her shaft and one wheel was broken, and the stern injured. She was eventually hauled off by two steam tugs and taken back for repairs. A seaman took occasion to desert, while the steamship wasfastatthedock. This accident will delay the departure of the Mississippi for some days. Explanation.

Married and Single Life, is a narrative of do mestic life in "New York, natural rand unconstrained. The pictures are vividly drawn from every day scenes and events around and easily recognised as the reflex of familiar objects.

Yet though common place, the subject and the characters, the story is one that absorbs the in terest of the reader and awakens his sympathies Its object to contrast married with single life, fully carried out; society in New York, in all Its phases, being truthfully depicted.

We gave a brief account of the double murder, arson and suicide at Cincinnati inur telegraph report yesterday. We now have the full particulars from the Cin cinnati Commercial, July 22.

Atalkiuf fbwclock yes mansion occupied by Horton, in 0hiO the head of Vine street hill, whose residence is upon the opposite side; of 'trie way, was aroused Dy tne screams or tne mmates of Mr. Horton' house, and speedily dressing himself he rushed to the scene, when.upon entering the hall he discovered a gentleman nam ed ConckHn endeavoring to remove the prostrate body of Mr. Horton. sinoke. was suffocating but between them they carrying tnerr cnaige toaiawn, wuen ii was oiscorerea that he was bleedinfe profusely from a cut in flicted in the: head, and a dreadful gash, given evidentlv bv the downward stroke of someshary weapon in the left groin, and which had severed the femeral artery.

He appeared sensible, but was speechless, and in a few moments breathed his lust. Previous to this, and at the'first alarm of fire, the mother of Borton rushed into the hall when she perceived her unfortunate son in law staggering towards the bedroom of his wife, who had but recently been confined, and ex claiming Oh, mother, I am he fell upon the spot where he was discovered by Judge Parker and Mr Conklin. In the meantime the excitement had spread, and some firemen from the Mohawk engine house arriving upon the spot, the fire was soon extinguished, ana suspicion naving tell upon a serving man named josepnjuoeiner, no naa ror uowards of two years been engaged in the fami ly of Mr. Horton, some persons hastened to a House on t.ne coiner oi ine ana vsreen streets, in which Loefner's wife resided. In a few minutes afterwards, however, and while the party assembled in front of the house were yet in a state of horrid bewilderment, Loefner was seen staggering towards them from a neighboring orchard, bleeding profusely from a cut in the band and a horrid gash across tne throat.

Some of the party advanced to meet him, bat he sank upon the grass upon hands and knees. They traced the blood to an apple tree, beneath which they found a large sharp butcher knife and a razor. With the former he had inflicted the fatal blow which had deprived Mr. Horton of life, and with the latter he had attempted to accomplish nis own destruction. When interrogated as to whether he had committed the arson and murder, he nodded (for he was speechless) assent, and also that he had cut his own throat, In the meantime the party who had first start ed in pursuit of him, arrived at the residence of his wire, but louna the aoor ot the room locked Subseauentlv they burst it in, and there, streched nearly naked upon the bed, but with her shoes on her feet, they beheld the dead body of the ill fated wife of the murderer ot Mr.

Horton, no wound upon her person, but otherwise exhibiting marks which made it evident that she had died from strangulation. Loefner was taktn to the hospital, where be lay for some time in extreme danger, but at last accounts he had so far recovered as to be considered out of danger. He confessed that he bad committed to murders. He sa'd he was inspired by italousy. He had seen Mr.

Hortop in bed with his (the murderer's) wie, and had then threatened to kill him. He did kill him, and was glad of it. The night he killed his Wife (Monday) he called to see her at their room, when she offered him a piece of bread and butter. He suspected it was poisoned, and told her she must eat of it first. She refused.

He told her she must or he would kill her. She persist ed in her refusal, and he did kill her." A fast race are the Detroit young ladies. The other night one of them was brought to the police office at midnight. She was about sixteen years of age, very beautiful, and was dressed in the best style her habiliments, however, very much deranged, and a 'love of a bonnet' smashed out of all hape. Her pretty eyes were full of tears, caused by fright and bewildeement, and for some time nothing could be ascertained from her in regard to the cause of her strange appearance.

She finally calmed down, and was drawn into conversation, when it transpired that she was a daughter of a citizen of Detroit, and had conceived a violent attachment for a young man of her acquaintance, contrary to the approval of her parents. To cut the matter short, she eloped with her lover, and they had just seated themselves in a carriage and started for a minister's residence, when the horses became frightened, ran away, and upset the carriage on a pile of dirt 1 The last heard of the lover he was running after the horses. The girl was sept home, got into the back door, went to bed, and appeared at the breakfast table the next morning, homember of the family the wiser for her escapade. They still remain in the same blissful ignorance! It is stated that President Buchanan is greatly hv thfi receiot of innumerable letters addressed him, soliciting m'ooey on all sorts of pretexts, in sums irom to ne lately received a letter from a young man in Virginia, with the modest request for the sum of $900, stating that he was very poor and greatly in love with a young lady to whom he was engaged, and who he was bound to marry, thai hn miild not do so without the assist ance of a loan of $900 and he appealed to the President, as tne father of the Republic, to assist him in his distress. Many letters of the same ridiculous character are received, exciting the mirth of the President, but which of course receive no notice.

Bowen and Stranahan, with the Clerk, Mr. Embree, were promptly at their posts at the usual hour, the other members did not make their appear ance. The Clerk called the Board to order. Mr. BowenMd that inasmuch as it was now after 10 o'clock and no quorum present, he would move that the Board adjourn till 10 o'clock to morro morning.

Mr. 8tranahan stated that he had received information that Mr. Cholwell was indisposed, otherwise he would be hew. Mr. Nye, the President, thereupon declared the Board adjourned.

OtrXSEBB TALK. Mr. Cholwell cleared from the Board yesterday after adjournment, and went down to his store in Maiden Lane to attend to his usual business. He found a crowd there Of all sorts and sizes, of all parties and alf conditions, completely jam ming'up the establishment. He had no desire to see any of them and went out through the basement took the New Haven Train and started for Connecticut, where his family are at present.

Mayor Wood was walking down Broadway a little.jbefore 10 o'clock, going to.his office. Mayor Powell, was there, and it being understood that Mr. Cholwell could not be present returned home. The legal adviser of Mr. Cholwell, Attorney General Cushing was in the Board this morning, and held a consultation with some of the members.

Mr. Stranahan thinks that a weeding of the Department of Brooklyn is necessary. There are many he thinks, unfit for the. police. He shall recommend a pretty thorough change, but will not be actuated by politics.

He thinks, however, that the opposition has better men for the positions to be filled than the Democrats. If the Captains of the several districts in Brooklyn would make out a list of the good men un der their charge, "he would strenuously recommend their re appointment. He had received no such recommendations thus far. He ex ert himself to arrange the Brooklyn appointments so as to give satisfaction, and will not be governed exclusively by, party feelings. If the majority of pUrolmen appointed areBepubli cans or Americans, he shall favor the selection of a majority of Democrats as officers men who are capable, and who, there is reason to believe will do their duty.

The appointments for Brooklyn must all go through the usual committees of the Board, and be acted up on precisely in the same manner as those.of New York. He does not mean to be understood that his recommendations will be followed as he de sires, but those are his ideas about the matter. He appears to be tired of the annoyances and vexations incident to the office which he holds. He ins no desire to continue in the Board, but does not feel justified in resigning his position until the affairs of Brooklyn are disposed of. He has had his letter of resignation in his pocket since the first meeting of the Board, but in conse.

quence of Brooklyn matters, which were all, as yet, untouched, he did not feel disposed to relinquish the office. He cannot tell when the Brooklyn appointments will come up. He has not the least idea when matters will be so arranged in the Board that they can be brought forward. One thing was certiin, however, that a radical change would take place in Brooklyn affairs, and he thought for the better. The New York Times of this morning the fol lowing in relation to Mr.

Draper 'Mr. Drapor is reported to liavo said yesterday, that Cholwell did lust riffnt. He advised a friend of Cbolwell's to ay to him bo slrnuld stand to his ground. He, himsolf, (Mr. Draper nau oeen anven out 01 tno Dy a conspiracy, nartlv carried on at Albany.

Old auarrels had been revived. He bad no deep regrets as to the manner in which the plots had turned out to plague the It is hard to say what course will be pursued. As long as matters remain at a stand still as they are now, there is no prospect of doing anything. The Democratic and American members will not meet unless all can be together. The presumption that the Republican members will not be there "unless all of their number are on hand.

So not hing can possibly be done until another member is elected, or either of the parties steal a march on the other in some way. In addition to what is above stated relative to the Brooklyn appointments, Mr. Stranahan states that none of the good members of the present force need have any apprehension. They will be retained. As to the competent or incompetent members, that will in a great measure rest with the Captains of the district.

If they send in their lists they will be attended to before any outside parties. Coming it too Strong. The William sburgh Times feeling piqued at the superior enterprise or faculty of invention of the Philadelphia Ledger correspondent, in the "Adultery and shooting case," and determined not to be outdone, has published an original marriage notice. It is certainly a curiosity in its way, and does credit to its author, whoever ho is it looks like a stray "leaf of grass." Has the eccentric poet become digusted with the pleasures of single life and free love in New York, which he so graphically described in the Times recently, and resolved to settle down for better or worse, and went it spasmodically, sacrificing himself in his beloved incomprehensibility, like Clarence in his butt of Malmsey How is it, Mr. Stevens A bio hearted "Woman.

On the 4th and 5th of the present month the Spiritualists of Obio held a Convention at Eavenna. Much was said, and, it may be, more was done among them. During the discussion, a Mrs. Lewis, of Cleveland, evidently a warm spirited woman, delivered herself by saying That she was in favor of universal freedom, and that loving whomsoever she chose was a part of that freedom, and to confine her to love one man was an abridgement of her rights. She said that "although she had one husband in Cleveland, she considered herself married to the wbole human race.

All men were her husbands and she had an undying love for them." She said also, "what business is it to the world whether one man is the father of my children or ten men are I have the right to say who shali be the father of my offspring." A personal encounter occurred in Louisvilie, Ky yesterday, between Georne D. Prentice, Editor of Tht LoukvilU Journal, and B. T.

the Court re assembled about noon to day, for the pur. body brought UUwetttyHwlndictmonto and'made the fol lowing The Grand Jury convened by the Court of Sessions, respectfully present to the Court, That they have had a tedious and protracted session: tedious on account or being so ftw In numbers, making it difficult and Impossible to oxcuso any member from attendance, even for a day and nearly all the members o) the Jury being business men, it became a serious inconvenience to to make.a. quorum. Frequently the Jury would bo obliged to waita long time for one member. The Grand 'Jury would therefore suggest to the Court that Grand Juries should consist of not less than twenty members, making it not only more convenient for the jurors, but a saving of expense to the county.

The Grand Jury visited, the County Buildings without giving the usual notice of a visit, and selecUng a day not set apart for visitors. The County Jail was found in complete order so lar as it is in the power of the Sheriff to make it. The basement story of the northern wing of the Jail was damp and unhealthy.and unfit for the confinement of prisoners', but as this has been noticed by other Grand Juries, the Supervisors have, no doubt, the matter under consideration. The Penitentiary. Alm3 House, Nursery, and Lunatic Asylum were next visited, and all were found in excellent condition, and much to be commended.

TOo woodSfl buildlDgs in tho rear of the Alms house occupied by the male' pampers as' a sleeping room Is a disgrace to the County, and the. attention of ths Supervisors Is respectfully called to the aahfe. The system.pf abetting.tho children's Aid Society to solect the larger.children from the nursery to send to the westhas had the effect of thinning out the children, and the parents of many learning that their children aro to bo aont away, find means'tb mmport thorn, and take tbom away Irom the Institution.

A wine company has been recently formed in' Missouri, for the manufacture of wine from the grape vineyards of the region, and the product of this manufacture appears in the market this year fpr the first time The enterprise promises complete success as good "profits are realized, and experienced connoisseurs do not hesitate to declare the American wine superior to many foreign brands, Missouri seems peculiarly well adapted to grape culture for, while blasting and mildew are said to have befallen the grape crop in Ohio, the vineyards in Missouri are free from blight, and now promise arich harvest. The zealous cultivators expect to displace all foreign brands, among discriminating judges of the artiole.

The St. Louis Republican describes at much length the works of the Missouri Wine the process of manufacture The main building is very wide and 150 feet in depth, having three cellars beneath it hewn out of solid rock; the lowest of which is thirty three feet below the surface of the earth, for the purpose of securing a low temperature. The Catawba grape is almost the only one cultivated for wine, though good success has been had in making sparkling wine from the wild grape, whioh brings $9 per dozen. The choicer varieties of Catawba rate at $12 to $13 per dozen The Republican says In the year 1856, the company manufactured 60,000 bottles, or 18,000 gallons of the three forms of Catawba. The present year the amount will not exceed 40,000 bottles.

The failure of the crops last fall advanced the price of the unmanufactured artiole twenty five besides limiting the quantity, so that the Missouri Wine Company contracted their operations. We understand that the business of wine growing is profitable. An acre of vines properly tended, will yield 400 gallons of wine, which, at one dollar per gallon, the usual rate, will yield $400, or $360 net, as it cost not more than $50 per acre to cultivate the grape and press out the wine. The first cost of procuring the vines and preparing the ground, we did not learn. But the cost subsequently, is not above the figures stated fifty dollars per acre, A STbw BrriiET.

A Paris letter thus describes a bullet lately invented by M. Desmoines This bullet, not more round than such usually are, but three inches long, is the most terrible of all the murderouB engines known up to this day. It is particularly designed for elephant and lion hunting. When it has penetrated the animal it bursts, tears the fibres, and suffocates instantaneously tne victim try the carbonic oxy gen gas which is developed during the burning of the powder. Four horses destined for the ex periment were here, browsing on sopie branches attached for the purpose.

One horse was separated from the others the marksmen aimed at it, and the animal struck in the breast fell backward, breathing the smoke of the powder from his throat. It was the same with the others, one excepted, which, thinner than the rest, was bored through by the bullet, which exploded on the wall. Another experiment, the intention of which was tq bring to light' the deadly' afiect of this bullet in the whole fishery, is said to have been equally successful. A Well to do Begg ab.

An intimation has appeared in New York papers of an intention on the part' of leading mem Den of the Democracy to invest a hundred thousand dollars In a newspaper organ, and it is hinted that hft money is to be deposited for the benefit of the iVn. There may be truth in the rumor and there may not. But the folly and worse than uselesBness of organs so established has long since become patent to all sensible men Eodless levies have been made in New, city to establish Democratic organs yet they all die out ob rapidly as the insect ephemera of a July day.

The iVoce is all odds the ablest and most respectable Democratic newspaper ever pub lished in New York and it has subsisted apparently with very little adventitious aid. These Decrial organs are sure to grind out the music composed by the clique who have contri buted or raised the subsidy on which they' exist. Once yon know their character and purposes you cm anticipate the course of the paper with as infallible certainty as the music of the. customary three tured hand organ which dis turbs your siesta and breaks in on your pleasant est meditations and most pi ilosopfaic reveries If It does not discourse of old dog Tray's fidelity it will be sure to harrow you with the sorrows of L'Uy Dale. And so with the organ it will vaiy itsrnonotonous sing soDg puffdry of its patrons with indiscriminate abuse of every body else and has just as much influence as the one or more individuals whose mouthpiece it is.

It would not be difficult to produce instances of the positive evil resulting from the rifling of exclusive political organs of the cliques and counto cliques they create, the bickerings and squabbles, and splits, and secessions they manage to foster and promote. A notable instance just now in progress, is that between the new organ and the ex organ of Col. Forney, of Pen nsylvania. His old paper, the Pamsylvanian, is now 'hoisting bim with his own petard" and demolishing hjxa without mercy, while the new saee, Ithe Pros, will of course return the fire and the "party' heaven help it, in whose name and whose behalf this personal tooth and nail war 1are is carried on suffer so far as such a squabble can injure it. If therefore any party has a hun dred thoaeand dollars to spare let it invest vest At in fireworks or "cakes and ale" and it may expect a better return than from an organ.

While thus oondeming the creation and sub sidising of mere organs it is but proper to re fer to an opposite line of conduct indulged in by politicians which is more impolitic and more reprehensible. We allude to the common prac tice of politicians sueing humbly, with hat in hand, and bending the suppliant hinges of tne knee, for the support and influence of a news paper, and having once gained the object sought, turning round and ignoring the agency to which their success was chiefly attributable. We hold it to be impossible for a daily newspaper possessing any vigor or ability not to take part in politics. Every question that agitata the public mind is a political one almost every actvf Congress or the legislature tases tht complexion. It might be better were the fac otherwise but it is so.

And in discussing thest publlo questions an honest consistency is sure to command respect. With independence enough to bestow praise or censure wherever it is de served and principle enough to adhere to a cause it has once espoused through the vicisitudes of good and evil fortune, a newspaper acquires an influence which makes it felt in the formation o. public opinion And for the creatures whom the cause it advocates may have elevated into place or power to forget the agency that elevated them end, by countenancing those who opposed themselves to the injury of their friends, to en deavor to kick down the ladder by which they a cended is to cat off the means of getting down sifely and incur the certainty of breaking their necks in the descent.
