DcAelti, Debt and Tote, the Failon Exploding, THIS COURTS. Look to the Iecublatcbb. The Albany John Oiborao at Clinton Avenue. Me. Editoe.

In a late paper, (18th October,) to which my attention has been directed by a friend, with the advice that in touching pitci there was defilement one John Osbobne, a meddlesome Englishman, of no reputation except what he acquires by the quasi respectahilily of living in a large houss and decent neighborhood, who has crept and crawled, and by the Circulation of Fns Jn the United value bs'ss Advertising Medium That our readers may see what has been the actual working cf the Canal financial system since the adoption of the Constitution of 1846, we have compiled from official documents the following statements. What is put down as "revenue," is the tolls of the Canals. Under the head of to pay interest and principal of debt, and for support of Government," is included what the Constitution of 1846, and the amendment of 1854, say shall be paid from the tolls for the interest and the gradual liqui dation of the debt. The table covers a period ot eleven years, from 1847, to 1857, as i f. is intented for Insertion must be anthnitloatedbytso as td.iras ofthe writtr not necessarily for pudUm lo rsara rejected CommnnloHona.

It says, what is perfectly true, that the object is to secure, by this union, the return of a majori ty of Black Republicans to the Legislature, to continue the course of tyranny and corruption puisued last year. The Black party nominated a State ticket of radical Democrats, and hope by that means to retain the vote attracted by the cry of Fremont and bleeding Kansas while by a fusion with the Americans they will retain the Legislative power to make all State appointments, and send forth another spawn of corrupt and plundering enactments. Let every man who wishes to prevent such a consummation, vote for the Democratic candidates We have in this county excellent candidates in nomination. Mr. Sloan, as a State Senator, will exert an influence in behalf of his district which will be favorably felt.

Mr. Spinola has been violently assailed by the opposition, but they can bring forward nothing against him. The best answer the Democracy of the district is a silent one at the ballot box. The members of Assembly are men of tried integrity and known intelligence and we hope the Democratic voters in tbe respective districts will so act as to gain a victory and a general one. It will not do to elect a majority of the candidates; elect them all and make the triumph complete.

What is the Object op the Public Schools? This is a very pertinent question in view of certain proceedings which are becoming quite common in some of these institutions. When a piano or other knick knack is wanted it is usual to get up a conceit where the children are trotted out to sing before a public audience. An improv ment on this method of raising the wind is to start a ladies' fair. The question returns then, What is the object of the schools? Is it to furnish children with an education, or to make them the conductors of a miniature Barnums' Museum Thess fairs are open to condemnation at the best. They interfere with the legitimate operations of trade withdraw business from storekeepers who have to pay rent find taxes, and are now hard pushed to keep afloat and encourage "raffles," lotteries, and gambling, which are penitentiary offences.

We would humbly suggest that the time wast ed by female pupils in manufacturing trumpery for a PeterFunk fair would be better employed in mastering the difficulties of grammar or the rule of three. Some people never know when a thing dies and keeps trying to restore it like a cat endeav orinsfto resuscitate a drowned kitten. One of the most ludicrous examples of this infatuation is the Tribune endeavoring to restore the bleed ing Kansas humbug. It comes out in a whole coiumn to day over its dear departed baby, sprinkles it with cold water, chafes its temples and slaps its palms, and places rhetorical karts horne uuder its nose, but all to no purpose. The thing is dead, as every bedy is aware except expiring Black Republican office seekers, and their advocates.

We are sorry to see the Star engag ed with a dead kitten of its own. It labors to restore the high tariff and exclusion foreign commodity doctrine which is not only dead, but rotten. If our cotemporaries endeavor to raise tbe dead and call spirits from the vasty deep, let them open a circle, introduce a three legged table and give us evidence that they are real mediums. They might make a laughable thing of it but this solemn lugubrious imitation of tho Witch or Eiidor is tco much for public patience dnring these hard time3. American Institute.

This institution con licues in increasing interest to tho public its wide spread fame continu to attract attention, and it has now become one of our most attractive institutions in the country. The vast magnitude of mechanical skill being every day introduced by new developments, among which is a most ingenious clcck lock. This clock can be set for various hours so tnat no person can enter any fe whero it is attached. Every bank safe ought to have added to them this new invention which can be set so that no burglar can enter any safe during which time this dock is set for. Quite a sensation was created last Friday even.

ing in consequence of it being understood that Mrs. Cunningham was there Cheap Ferriage. An article in the N. York Sun of yesterday takes strong ground against the high rate of ferriage which the Union Ferry Company insists on charging. As Mr.

Beach. the editor of the Sun, is one of the nominees for Assembly in this city, we may expect his influ ence to be exerted at Albany to secure the rights of tho people. This is one of the most impor tant subjects to Brooklyn that can come before the Legislature, and we hope the voters in the district including the first, sixth and twelfth wards will not fail to elect Mr. Beach, and so secure a faithful advocate in the Legislature. Col, Chabxes James Jack wishes it distinctly understood that if the electors of this Judicial District insist upon voting for him at the en suing election he has no objection they people tn do as they think best But he also wisheB it understood that he does not seek the office.

If the honor is thrust upon him he will accept it as the gift of a free people who know his worth, and wish to reward him fjr integrity of purpose aud legal acumen, eminently fitting him for a Judge of the district. A New Name foe a Scarce Article. The party formerly once known as the Native Americans, then as the Know Nothings, then as the Dark Lanterns, and subsequently as the Hindoos or Sepoys, have found it necessary, in order to harmonize all shades and differences of opinion, to take yet another name, and we are happy to say that in all the States where there have been any recent elections, they have hit upon one which will grow more and more appropriate every day. It is, the Minority Party. Life is Boston.

Our local snmmary this morning, is chiefly a record of murder and ciime. fcinco Saturday morning, a policeman has been shot dead while the discharge of bis duty; a sporting, but orderly and peaceable man has been fataly stabbed, without provocation, while hicjmpauiou raceived such wounds as to place him upon the very brink of death and an infant has ben suffered to starve to death, evidently by the dcBire of its cruel parents. Then a man wbo was passing through our streets last evening, received a malicious stab from a rowdy es he went bv him; and one woman fractured another's skull; while a man vented his spleen by knocking part of a woman's teeth down her I For a political party to Hell out its principles, as Esau sold his birth right, for a mess of pottage is bad enough but to be cheated out of the pottage is still worse. Such is the condition to which the American party of this county haB been reduced by the fusion. They are beginning to feel their position and refuse to ratify tho bargain.

An article in the islar of Monday gives the key note to the state of feeling of the most respectable and influential members of the party. "Whether" says the writer, the Americans, as a party of principle, are to gain any lasting credit by amalgamating with the Republicans, I very much question. The officers selected for our support are of the various political stripes of all parties, and seem only consistent in a desire to be elected. As to the main governing principles of the American party, but few, if a solitary one, has the most remote feeling. Abi jah Mann, has been a man to all parties, and ever a violent opponent to Henry Clay and his American Policy and separate from the one idea upon the slavery question, as a soft shell democrat at the present day.

If the Americans are to elect such men to office, I conceive but little use in the Democrats making any nomination. For if he is elected by our party he may be a good enough Democrat for all that. If we elect such men, and are deceived in them, we certainly have no reason for complaint. We have before us two candidates elect of the American party who professed our principles, and after election fused with the Republicans, who at that time were our bitter opponents. We certainly had reason to expect party fidelity in these gentlemen, but in respect to him above mentioned, it will be unexpected good luck if he remains true to Americanism.

For my part, I am afraid of Buch men, and would much prefer being in the minority with true hearted Americans than in the majority headed by such mongrel or hybrid politicians. You must excuse me, Mr. Editor, if I am a little severe, as I but speak the sentiments of hundreds of Kings county American voters. I do wish to see the American ship manned by American seamen. But I do not see that the late marriage between the American and Republican parties, is likely to bring about that friendly and peaceful union which should exist between man and wife.

It strikes me that the harmonious feeling will be similar to that occasioned many years since during the amalgamation excitement of marrying the black and whites, whsn Arthur Tappen's furniture was burned in the streets of New York. It was a peaceful movement in the Church, but the outsiders played the mischief. So was this union it may be peaceful this fail, hut look out for breakers in the future. lain apprehensive that the fusion party, whatever spoils they may attain at the comiog election, will be transfixed upon them as a nucleus to rally under and the teue American will form a separate organization, based upon no half way piiuciples. A portion of the American party is playing fast and loose this fall, and I regret to see such awful sacrifice of noble and patriotic feeling to the mere gain of a few offices.

''Principles and Dot men" used to be a forcible expression amoug politicians but now a days, it is men without principles. The Americans constituting the General Committee of this county, may consider themselves the embodiment of all the political wisdom in the United States, but I much fear that their names will never be handed down to posterity with honor to themselves or good to the American party. I have no objections to the nominations of Republicans for the support of the American party, if they will come out decidedly upon our party platform. But as regards present nominations, I cannot perceive that any questions have been put to the candidates, or any answers required from them. It seems satisfactory that they accept the nomination, consequently whatever course they pursue after election would be agreeable.

I do not believe in such macceuvering and will not endorse the acts, for I am strongly impressed with the idea that in 1858 the leaders and abettors of fusion will reap the foliy." The Amende Honobable The Herald recently accused Daniel E. Siclrles, of selling the interests of his client. Mr. Sickles immediately started a libel suit, laying damages at $10,000. As the case was evidently a strong one, and a cool ten thousand would make a hole in Bennett's pocket book during these hard times, especially since his paper dealers failed, he has acknowledged the injustice of the attack.

"It is true, says the Herald, that in some remarks recently upon this case, (Devlin vs. Conner,) in connection with the late factious and personal squabbles of Tammany Hall, an allegation was made through our editorial columns impugning the fidelity of Mr. Sickles to the cause of his client but, from a more careful inquiry into the matter, we are entirely satisfied that all of the counsel of Mr. Devlin and the Corporation, including Mr. Sickles, discharged their duty in the premises earnestly, ably, fully and faithfully."

The steamship Europi, from Liverpool 10th arrived at Halifax last night. Her news is three days later than the accounts formerly received and isjof great importance. The intelligence of the financial crisis in the United States had created the greatest excitement. Money was in demand the Bank of England had raised the rate of interest, and Consols declined to 89 1 3 a 89 1 4. American securities was flat.

Tho latest despatch from Liverpool states that all description of cotton had declined. Breadstuffs were steady, It is very evident, ho wever, that there is a general brenkiug up in commercial and financial affairs, and that the fluctuations in prices are so rapid that reports can scarcely be re lied upon. Specie was being shipped to the United States. The Europa brings between three and four hundred hundred thousand dollars. There is no later news from India.

Rumors of the recall of Lord Canning, the Governor General, were in circulation. A sevete storm had occurred on the coast of Fngknd, during which the American ship A. B. Kimball, bound from Sunderland for New York, was lost. Toe crew, however, were saved.

It was reported that the King of Prussia was dying. The Rights of Negeoes We see that in Boston itself, the city that so strongly desired to retain Burns. which boasts of the "cradle of liberty," and claims the honor of nourishing Wendell Phillips, there is a dispute in the Superior Court, as to whether a negro has a right to sit in the family circle of a theatre, having purchased a ticket therefor. The Court, by consent, rendered a decision against the colored plaintiff in the case. McCrea, who was denied admittance to the fam ly circle of the Howard Athenaeum, and that person has taken an appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court.

The trial does not appear to create any excitement in Boston, wherefore we judge that even the Abolitionists of that city are not fond of granting to the colored people "rights" which interfere with their own tastes. They like Sambo very well a long way off, but they can' endure him within tmellit.g distance. Discovket of Hippoceates. The Esperanoe of Athens states that, near the village of Arnacut li, not far from Pharsalia, a tomb has just been discovered, which has been ascertained to be that of Hippocrates, the great physician, an inscription clearly eununciating the fact. In the tomb a cold ring was found, representing a ser pent the symbol of the medical art in antiquity, as well as a small gold chain attached to a thin piece of gold, having tho appearance of a baud for the head.

There was also lying with these articles a bronze bust, supposed to be that of Hippocrates himself. These objects, as wen astne stone which bears the inscription, were delivered up to Housin Pacha, governor of Thessaly, who at once forwar 1 ded them to Constantinople.

20, 1857. 2b the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle. giE In your issue of vesterdav an article an peared under the signature of a person who a few years since was a prominent Whirr in Westches ter County, holding the position of keeper in the anaon at aingting under a Whig administration since that time a nominee of the Know Nothings in the Common Council for Clerk of Justice Curtis Court, to which place he was elected by the Know Nothings exclusively, and voted against by the Democratic members of the Board and more recently an active, energetic ana prominent memoer or tne unow JNotning order, (which he cannot nor dare he deny) in which article he states that I had made arrangements which were satisfactory to me, at the time, for the naturalization of aliens. The facts are these. The Chairman of the Naturalization Committee called upon me to make some arrangements about the matter, when I distinctly stated to him that I was prepared to make a satisfactory arrangement at any time if a responsible perspn would call and satisfy me thnt I should receive compsnsatiou for my services.

The Committee of last year having refused to pay me anything for the services performed by me last Fall. The bill presented to them amounted to over $700 (for which I had their orders) from which sum I agreed to give the sum of $200. I also stated to the gentlemen that I was unwilling to take his responsibility, as he then owed me thirty dollars for naturalizing persons on his individual order while a candidate before the people himself, W. H. Campbell.

New Yorll Items. Mes. Cbkninohah's Case. We have received a communication from a distinguished legal gentleman of this city, reviewing the recent decision of tbe Supreme Court, on the question of admitting Mrs. Cunningham to bail.

We differ from that gentleman's views of tbe case, as we believe, do the greater portion of the community, who concur in the justness of the decision; and as to the legal points, we have the fullest confidence in the legal ability of Justices Mitchells, Clerke, and Davies. We do not think the sub ject is of sufficient public interest to warrant the publication of so long an artiole. A Thief peom the Country. Yesterday morn ing information was telegraphed to New York that one John Reilly bad decamped from Gala tin, (jommbia N. taking with him a horse and wagon and other firoDortv beloncrintr to citizens of that place.

The police "instituted a search for Mr. Reilly, and shortly after twelve ciock berjeant 'nom ot the 13th precinct succeeded in apprehending him. Reilly confessed his guilt and told where the property could be found. Jt was recovered and sent back with the prisoner to Galatin. Fiee At 112 o'clock this morning a fire was discovered in the grocery store of John Burns, No.

100 Washington street, supposed to have originated from the stove pipe. The family who lived over the store and were asleep at the time were nearly suffocated by the smoke, and with difficulty effected their escape. The flames were extinguished by the firemen before the building was materially injured. The loss is about $300, covered by insurance in the Rutgers Ins. Co.

The Tenth avenue Mcedee The mystery which enveloped the recent murder in Tenth av. was unveiled yesterday by the arrest of Charles Cunningham, who confessed that he was one of the hree that made the murderous assault, that the name of the person who stabbed Swenson was James Rogers, (a boy of 18 years,) aud that the third peison was Stephen Givny. Neither Rogers nor Givny has been arrested yet, and it is said they have fled from the city. The Coroner's inquest was concluded yesterday and resulted in a verdict against Rogers. Assault.

Early yesterday morning, two men named James McDermot and Owen McKearnan, had a dispute in the porter honse of Councilman Reillry, irner of 11th stteet and 1st avenue, during which, McKearnan, it is alleged, Btruck McDermot on the back of the head with a cart ruDg, and literally smashed his skull in. Word was despatched to. the 17th precinct station house, and officers Lindsay, Gillmore and Mc Known arrested McKearnan, at No. 213 East 13th street, and took him to the station house. he wounded man was taken to the Bellevue Hospital, and is in a dangerous condition.

Daeinq Highway Robbeet. An agent in the oyster trade, who does business at Catherine Market, wished, on last Monday evening, to send $80 to his principal in Brooklyn, so he employed a German to carry it over for him. While the money was beiDg counted, before being given to the German, two hard looking fellows were observed eying it closely, and when the German went on the ferry boat he noticed the two fellows He paid his ferriage with a one dollar bill and put the change in his pantaloons pocket, but goiDg into the water closet he placed the rest of the bills down his back, inside his clothes. It was a little after 8 o'clock when he got off the ferry boat aDd walked up the street, followed by the two hards. When passing through Jay st.

Brooklyn, one of them struck him and the other gTasped him by the throat: He drew a little pen knife and cut the hand of the fellow who held his throat, hut the rascal did not desist until they had searched all his pockets, when, finding only the change of the dollar bill, they took that, and then ran off. Police. Burglars Nabbed. Georgo Smith and Wm. Churchill were arrestod by officers SIcLaughlin and Whito of tho 2nd precinct yesterday, on tho charge of breaking into the grocery storo of Alanson Udell, in Hudson avenue, and Btoal ing therefrom one llrkin of butter, and a lot of sugar and tea.

When taken into custody they had tho property in their possession. Tho examination was put off till to morrow, at tho request of their counsel, D.Parmentor, Esq.

On ascertaining that the wife had taken tho property the Justico ordered the furnituro back to Mrs. Riley, aud dismissed the case, as a wifo cannot steal from her husband.

Vho Meeting To night. We expect to see a general turn out of the Democracy to night at the City Hall Park. The are times when all men, rich and poor, are interested in the management of those institutions for which they are taxed, either direotly or indirectly. It is a duty which every taxpayer o'lVts to himself and the public to sustain a party which in these trying times, plants its standard on the high ground of retrenchment and economy, and frown down all attempts at a hollow and insincere fusion for the sake of being ad milted to prey upon tho public. To the Park, then, this evening.

Legislative ILIiernture. TUe Demociacy of the First Assembly District of Oneida County have nominated the Hon. Horatio Seymour as their candidate for the Assembly. It is doubted whether Gov. Seymour will accept the nomination, but we trust he will.

It ia too much the fashion to send any kind of men to the Legislature men incapable of grasping coni'iulional questions utterly ignorant of th first principles of law and very frequently entire to the simplest elements of arasitmttT. "What a herd of such men will do w'otn they get together bos been witnessed in tha L' and some of the preceding O'es. Some of the laws which passed both branches of the late Legislature, and received addition of Gov. King's sign manual, display a degree of ignorance which is hardly credible We have before us a copy of the first volume of ti.o laws of iho ist session of the Legislature iioia which wc will cite a few examples.

Tne decrease of a Million of dollars in the annual revenue since 1851, will be noted. The highest point in the "cost of repairs," is on the advent op the opponents of the Democratic party in 1854, and also, in the same year the piest disteiot concurred in the canal revenues to meet the charges upon them by tbe Constitution of 1846, and before they were burdened by any of the charges of the amendment of 1854, to pay the interest and principal of the new debt authorised by it.

To show how tbe charges are made up, we select those of 1857. put down at $3,177,389 01, and we take the figures comprising it from Sen. Dec. 10, p. 65, distinguishing the charges made by the Constitution of 1846, from those made by the amendment of 1854, and placing them in the order in which they attach to the revenues 1.

Ey the Constitution of 1847 for cost of re pairs 900,000 00 2. Constitution of 1847, for interest apd principal of old canal debt 1,700,000 00 2. By Constitution of 1846, do. of General Fund debt 350,000 00 $2,950,000 00 4. By amend, of '54, for interest on new canal debt 655,000 00 5.

By amend, of '51 principal of now canal debt 07 By amendment of '51, towards support of government 200,000 00 Total constitutional oharges for 1857.. 07 Estimating the Canal revenues at $2,700,000 for the current year, which is more than the average of the last two years, andsome $300,000 or $400,000 above the probable receipts of the year, it will be seen that they fall $250,000 short of meeting the charges upon them made by the Constitution of 1846, leaving nothing towards the payment of the Interest on the New Debt, towards its principal, or towards the $200 000 for tho support of the government, which, by the Constitution of '46 was the fonrth charge, but by the amendment is now made the sixth and last one. To say nothing of the deficiency of the tolls to pay the third charge, more than the whole of which, $350,000, is wanted for the Interest, simply, on the General Fund debt, the serious qus uoii is now to pay me interest oi sooo UUU lor the current year on the New Debt antborised by the amendment. The Commissioners of the Ca nal Fund, at page 58 of their annual report, (Sen. doc.

10) intimate that $350,000 is appropriated to tbe canals from the levy of direct taxes in 1856, and that the residue of the $655, 000 may be procured by a resort to the "credit of the Sinking Fund" under art. 7, sec. 3, of tne amended constitution. It thus appears that for the hest time in the history of the btate it has become necessary to take up a loan for the purpose of paying the in TtnisT on the State dibt, a portion of which, for the current year, has already been paid from the levy of DiBEor taxes in 1856 Albany Atlm and Argus. Revolt in the St.

Lows Woekhocse. A horseman at full speed arrived at about 7 of last evening at the City Hall from tho Workhouse with the rather startling intelligence that the prisoners were simultaneously making violent exertions to break from confinement, and were threatening vengeance for the death of one of their number, who had been shot fatally by the guard. The Mayor, Captain Kick and twelve policemen at once armed themselves and preceded in an omnibus to the saene of violence. His Honor, with the Captain and a portion of the force, returned at 91 2 o'clock, leaving all quiet, and the remainder of their party on guard to preserve tranquility. "Jack Smith," a desperate fellow, committed for vagrancy some three months ago, had made many threats of vengeance upon the guard, the well known officer Frauk Giles, whose vigilance is said to have frustrated several recent attempts on the part of prisoners to escape.

Smith had become refractory and unmanageable, that the guard determined to confine him to the ring bolt or "bull ring," and was about to execute the determination when Smith sternly defied him, and swore resistance to the last extremity. Giles threatened to fire unless he submitted and obeyed, but Smith only cursed him, and sarcastically taunted him with being too cowardly to fire. Thus irritated and defied, Giles at length dischaged his pistol, the contents entering Smith's abdomen and causing a shocking wound. At the instant the wounded man sprang upon the guard with an iron bar, striking him on the face and prostrating him. The superintendent at once bad Smith, who was dying, as well cared for as possible, and, for a satisfactory investigation, promptly placed Giles under arrest.

By this time the passions of the prisoners were wrought to a pitch little short of frenzy, and they were making formidable efforts to break from the cells, swearing to inflict death upon the guard. But they were harmless, having for tunately oeen, tnougn out a snort time betore, removed from the yard to separate and strong confinement. They only succeeded in breaking windows and doing other trtval damage. The Mayor and police arrived to find the ex citement subsiding, Smith still living and the guard confined. The latter was removed to the calaboose.

Smith expired shortly after their arrival. St. Louis Democrat. Fixxibusteeism and the Panic The panic has had a bid effect on fillibusterism in the South. Walker's expedition for the regeneration of Nicaragua has been postponed until the 1st of November, in consequence of the financial pres sure.
