The following persons are authorised to oon- tract for the publication of advertiaemeBta in the Star: Philadelphia^ B Pukie, N. W. ooraer of Tnira mid Chestnut streets. New Tork.S. M. Pbttuqiu.* Co.. Nmmm ¦treet Bosiot.V B. PiLvii, Scollay's Building PPmiT OT THE KOKinWO PRESS The Inftlivrnrer regrsts exceedingly the aisjO:itioa of this Government to acquire Cuba with the consent of Spain, and explain* that Mr. D <dgc is already making efforts to that etd. if the iniormsiion, which its predicates its remarks on t^a subjcct is reliablo. The editor s.iys : '. So lou^r a time has elapsed since the pub* lio j of cotc, either in Spain or in the Ui.iudi States, hare ccascd to discuss the 2auctions ?ruwing out of the overweahing de- ife of portions of our pvople to gain possession of Cuba, by lawful or unlawful means, that we had really begun to hope that the whole ic: tter was at an end. The active and rigor¬ ous measures pursued by the Executive of the United Status in arresting the fillibustering ^Pfditions, and the rery decided refusal of ip «in to liston to ai y proposition lor the trans fer «f Cuba to the Lai ted States, were both so strongly evincive of a settled and unwavering p«'li-y that wc have been struck with no little rap)Lm . whiah we think will be partaken by a great majority of our readers.at seeing in the I'eri i correspondence of the New York Times scm< thing more than a mere intima- tt"E that nur new Minister at Madrid has been taking steps to bi ing the affair again under ronsideration. The manner in which the cor¬ respondent of the '-Times" mentions the fact, nnU the i otice which has been taken of it in the M diid papers, which he quotes, cannot l ave been with* ut foundation in truth. We are truly sorry to see it; but the present state ot our ininrui ition upon the subject is not such as to ju-tifj uur doing mora than ask* ing the attention of ur readers to the follow¬ ing extract from the letter referred to, bear¬ ing data the 1st of Augu t: 44 4 Things look hi it Mr. Dodge, our Minis¬ ter, liad bien m iking some propisitioos, or pailaf'S sonio indie tions, to indiscreet per- *.11- upju the C' nvecience of Spain's ceding Cuba to us p< a>:e:ib)y for a large sum ; and it appears tha susceptibility of the Spaniards hj« again tikvn the alaim, and the press i.-> fell oj i.ew protests repelling every proposi¬ tion. Tha L'^cc*. (Government paper.) the Novedades (p pu'ai paper,) and the Espana (Moderado.) ex pre-a themselves with much ?armth on this subject, and recommended the Auierioan Minisur not to allow himseli to be ied aw:*y by vain h .pes. The Government it- Be.f has thought proper to reply to all this in the efh^ai U-ieito with the following declara¬ tion : 4 4 Let the | ublio press and the newsman- ?ers r*j what tbey please, the conduct ot" the pani.-h G vemmmt relative to the sale or evasion of tha island of Cuba will be always eirietly coi.foimed to the national vote, mani¬ fested in ana ner ULCsnal'y solemn, explicit, and significant, in a memorable session of tfc-- C nitituent Conjress.' *" The U/txou discuss&j Senator Benjamin's appeal to the South to unite in a Southern partj, and the simultaneous effort of Mr. Sew¬ ard to unite the North in a Northern party, saying: 44 The letter of the Hon.

There ii muoh in Mr, Bet jamin'a letter that we nj>- prova; but if rearming is ri^ht. as we think it is, ois rtmedv is wrong Mr Benjamin ad- mil* that the Whig party is gone, aod, with all his prejudices, be cannot deny that the D mocratic party sUnds firm; and yet he would break down the Demoeratio party, which is confusedly the only barrier between the South und the Ab dition fanatics! In other words, he would hasten the catastrophe of separ tion by div.ding the people by geo- grapLical licea on the subject of slavery. The portion of Hon. t. W. Pickens, of South Car¬ olina, one of the most decided advocates of Southern righta. is in happy contraatwith that of Mr. Bet j.min.

A Recest Coc_rrenoe near Constantinople Xne la.t European mail brought news of an oecurrccca near Constantinople, not long since, wh:9h will be read with much interest, as fol¬ lows : Near the villa of the Pasha of Constan¬ tinople is the hospital where the wounded and debilitated P.-eceh cSoers are healed and quartered Some of the convalescent man¬ aged to open a communication with some of the Tasha's wives, who, obtaining permission to visit for four days others of thatfunctionary's wives in a distant seraglio, took up their abode in tho hospital, snd were having a jolly time of it with some of the F;eneh officers aforesaid. The Pa'ha. however, got wind of the affair, and surrounding the hospital with his troops, demanded the women. The French refused lo gi»c them up until the troopwwere with¬ drawn, ar.d then only on a promise that thej should not be li ma1.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND G033IP Dull Timet..We, who cator for the amuse¬ ment and edification of the "dear people" after dicner, are having jnst now a very hard timo of it, there being inch a total cessation of all interesting occurrences in public affairs her© and throughout the country, as we never knew before. Nothing striking can be done by the Government just now, beoaise thcGovcrnme: t clock is ao wound up as that it goes by it¬ self, ticking along in the eld humdrum way. Jefferson said that«« few die and none resign." Tke party in power haying taken unto them¬ selves all of tho spoils of their last presiden¬ tial victory they fancy, few or no ebnnges are being made. So the politician from abroad bavo ceased for the timo being to come to Washington to "cahoodlc" over office as ol yore. Their aspiration?, their baek-bitings their asseverations, their importunities, and. ere they all get through around the Depart¬ ments, the seedy habiliments of more or les^- of them, are no longer at hand to furnish us the groundwork for readable paragraphs. The warm weather makes shockingly against us, too, as nobody seems to havo sufficient en- ergy under its melting influence to d j any¬ thing worth recording in print. Thus our labor is doubled.news of interest we must find, and while suffering bodily and mentally under the enervating effects nf nn August sun, we must strive much inoro under such circumstances as we describe above, to cater for the Star1* columns, than wber. Washington is the scene of oscuircnoes preg¬ nant with the future of the country, with hun¬ dreds of men in it whose every movement, ii not sentiment, is of great interest to the public at large. Alas for us in humdrum-times like the present! Then it is, that wo feci tho pro¬ fession of a journalist to be irksome and life W®*T'DC» being forced to bo sprightly ar.d forcible, or at least to strive so to be, wh. n we feel that wo are stupidly duil and almost a? weak, bodily, as " Taunton water".prover bially w.tnout strength enough to run down hill, if the old New England adage may be relied on. Won't somebody pity, us in "this, our extremity ? The Republican Party..The Now Ycrl Tribune says that SeLator Ii:»mlic, of M 'ine, Las declared for this new political organization We doubt the fact, though tho Tribune, be¬ ing the chief newspaper of the movement aiight be expected to know early of occurren¬ ces likely to give it strength and importance In the fame number of the Tribune we find a constitution and by-laws purporting to be those of the association of the Republican party in Washington city, which, as a mattei of course, can all be comfortably scaled in the sanctum of our neighbor of the National Era. if that apartment is twelve feet square 41 The Republican party in Washington City-' is no¬ thing moro nor leas than the never-to-be for¬ gotten Van Buren Buffalo platform party of the Federal Metropolis, weakened by the loss of at least one-tenth of its m;znbers. in the withdrawal of the two individuals who having been conspiouous free soilers in iS4d, are now proprietors of the Organ newspaper, wnicb. to its credit be it written, has, as at present cd ited, no affinity, whatever, with abolitionism direct or indirect. The fact tha. tho Democratic party are in much better plight in Maine at thi-i timo than at any previous timo in tho last two years, having a fair change of success in tho np preaching election, ii nothing else, lead* us to place a little confidence in tho Tribune'* an¬ nouncement concsrning Senator Hamlin, who. though decidedly anti Nebra-kaish, w«s in all other respects in full communion with the Democratic party. Senator Seward, and not Senator Chose, as many fancy, is the ruli.ig spirit of the new party which has so soon swallowed Know Nothingism whole, and with little greasing We do not believo that Senator Sewarl and hi- immediate managers hope to carry the day in 185(1. Indeed, we know that during the last session of Congress, wheu they were laying their plans to begin this organisation in the summer, they freely admitto i the impossibility of brining their party under three or fouryeara up to the strength necessary to enable them to carry a national election. They will run Chatc, or scmo one elso wil¬ ling to be beaten, in 1856, reserving Mr Sew- ( ard, for whose benefit alone the organisation was oonoeived, f.r the contort of 18tf0. Long before that time arrives, however, it will be found that abolitionism cannot possibly ho in¬ stalled supreme in tho Government of tho United States, as they are now constituted, and also that the Catholic anl foreign-born voter# will not aid in that work, however earnestly nnd consistently Governor Seward may have labored.as he hxs done beyond all question.in their defence. As this new party gains strength at tho North, demonstrations against tho continuance of the Union, if abolitionism bids fair t* be installed in its government, must so increase throughout tue South as to cxcito greatly against the so called Republican party all Northern men whose profits and property may be involved in the continuance of the Union. Year by year, through the aggregation of capital, the power of that class is becoming greatly in¬ creased, notwithstanding tho increasing p >pu- laxity of extreme radicalism in the non-slavo holding States. That power has not yet been brought into play ; but serious danger to the . Union, from the increasing political strength ol abolitionism, will nut long henco compel it* exertion; when it will bo found equal to tLe emergency, or we are greatly mistaken in cm estimation of the political elements of the times Senator Rusk..This gentleman has re cently written a very emphatio anti-Know Nothing letter, which was published about the time of the appearance of the Know Nothing letter of his colleague, Senator Hous¬ ton. Up to this time they have acted togeth¬ er consistently, in politics, the former standing by the latter from the battle of San Jacinto to the appearance of the letters in question. Both are very popular in Teia<, and while there is a considerable party there, (though a minority,) bitterly opposed to General Hous¬ ton, his oolleague is literally without enemies >n his State, though he has fewer persons in the State so ardently and enthusias ioally de¬ voted to him. The contrary position taken by them upon Know Nothingi?m, if that last3 six months longer at the South as an important political element, will probably result in the r personal estrangement, which csn be brought about by nothing short of danger to the supre macy of the Democratic party in tha State . which, (we judge from experience and inti¬ mate knowledge of the character and personal and pelitieai relatione of these two gentlemen) will ekme weaken tha bends that have V a d Genteel Beak to Oenecal Houston, inducing Ma te eftee stake taepertaat personal saeri- loes and run ruki of all aorta in hie defenoe t gain at tha talented, unscrupulous. and at timea threatening Apposition arraigned against him (Gen. H.) in Texaa erer since the battle )f San Jacinto. We await with no little interest the eleetion returns from Texas, in tho belief (from our knowledge of her politics) that the reeently promulgated prununcfamento of Gen. Houses .xerted a powerful effect upon the vote of the it* to, only to bo counteracted by the letter of len. Rusk, if that was published in time to lave ootemporaneous circulation ' with the iher. Houston has exercised, since 1838, a Personal influence in Texas hardly inferior to .hat of Mr. Clay in Kentucky, and greater .han that of Mr. Webster in Massachusetts, luring the last ten years of that distinguished .nan a life. We havo no idea, however, that 'Jen. Houstou can give Know Nothingism a riumph in Texas, even temporarily.our cu- ioeity being to learn how near he can come to -he accomplishment of that purpose The act of General Rusk, in throwing him¬ self into tho breach in this case, will greatly xcrcase his national popularity. He ia very ittle known out of Texas, when one takes into :onaideration his long service in the Senate, \nd the fact that his fellow Senators, including Vir. Clay as well as Mr Webster, have long cgarded him as one of the ablest (statesmen fho have graced the National Legislature ince the annexation of Texas. Ho us natu¬ rally an indolent man, and has an abiding vjnteinpt for the small squabbling of public «ifo, which, together, have kept his name from ippearing in the newspapers as conspicuously h those of dosena of his compeers in the Senate possessed only of a tithe of his abilities tnd statesmanlike attainmenta. We are in- Jlined, however, to think that, next winter circumstances will compel him to take a much noro active part in the political transactions >f the Senate than ever before, in which case le will rapidly become a man of great distinc¬ tion. Aid for tho Aifiicted .We are glad, indeed, -> hear that the Rev. Mr. Donelan. tho pastor >f St. Matthew's (Catholic) Church in this -ity, has returned to Norfolk and Portsmouth :o attend to the afflicted there, after his recent ^hort trip back to his church in this city, to nstall a temporary successor in miniotering to his own largo congregation. Five more Sister* >f Charity left \Y ashington this morning, also lestined for Norfolk and Portsmouth, where they will bo wclcomcd with the hearifolt grat¬ itude of all remaining there of those commu¬ nities. Wo heard accidentally, to-day, that the Rev?. Ulysses Ward aad French S. Evans, of thiscity, are now actively engaged in preparing alao to go there, to minister to the spiritual ' want* of the tiek and dying, who are so doati- tute of clerical oemfort in their present terri¬ ble emergency ; four of the clergymen of the vicinage.who havo more faith in their leg* than in the Lord.having ignominiously fled ftoin their post of duty when it bccame one of danger. They (Messrs Ward and Evans) de¬ serve great credit for thus demonstrating the practical influence of religion upon their own poinds, hearts, and characters. Interesting..The General Land Office has Hsuqf instructions to the proper land offices in Miasouri concerning tho lands outside of the six mile limits on the Hannibal and St. Jo- -eph s Railroad to the following cffect: 1. That all the vaoant lands in the sections bearing odd numbers, between the six and fijtren mile lateral limits of tho grant, (that is within the nine mile strips on each aide tuereof,) were elected, or intended to be se¬ lected, by the State, and the State will be en¬ titled to said landa whether they have been selected as yet or not; therefore, ahould the Und officer* diaoover any vacant land in such jdd numbered aections, they are ordered not to restore them to entry, but to report thom to t;io General Land Office, so that they may be approved to the State; nor will any of them be subject to pre-emption, unless ooining with in the purview of the acts of 3d March. 1853, :.nd 27th March, 1854, referred to in the pub¬ lic notice. 2 That all the vacant lands subject to pri¬ vate entry at the date of withdrawal in the even numbered sections within the nine mile strips, and the sections lying outride of the !;:teenmilo limits, both even aud odd num¬ bered, will be restored to market, and are lia¬ ble to pre-emption as contemplated by the above mentioned aotions. The Case of the Barque Undine..The newspapers of both continent# having, for some time past, been discussing tLe refusal of Capt Murriman, of the American barque Undine, to delivor up hia papers for examination, and to pay the toll heretofore exited at Stado by the Hanoverian Government, on all foreign vessels passing up the E'be to Hamburg, we have to Ray that the explanation of the Han¬ overian authorities, eonocrning the occurrence, through their press, is that Capt. Merrimnn r jfu«ed to pay the toll and hubmit his papers to examination by the captain of the revenue cuttcr stationed at Stade, only after an agree¬ ment with the Hanoverian customs depart¬ ment, that on the arrival of the Undine at Ham¬ burg, his commission merchant should make the customary payment. The New United Statea Steamship Merri- mac..Wo learn that tho boilers and machin¬ ery of this ship, being oonstructed at the Cbarlestown (Mass.) navy yard, are all on b<*ard and being placed in position. The ves¬ sel will bo ready to go to sea as early ae the I itter part of October. The Ships being Constructed..It is thought at the Navy Department, that the exiatenoe of tae yellow fever at Norfolk and Portsmouth, with the attending circumstanoes, must neces- .arily delay the final completiou of all the U.

Notwithstanding the decrease in our pop¬ ulation, probably not more than 1,500 to 2,000 j whites remaining in town, the fever continues wjtb Utile if any abatement. About an equal °umber of new cases occur daily, and tho deaths average from seven to ten, as will be ssen by the list below. Dr. Maupin, whose ! practice is extensive, informs us that the aick- ness seems to be chancing, and the fever, he I thinks, js more of an intermittent character j than it has been. Tho panic in the community had subsided to a considerable extent, and the i. few now lel't seem disposed to remain and abide the consequences ; indeed it is a matter of ne¬ cessity. There appears to be no alternative, as we arc almost wholly cut off from all com- j uunication and association with " the rest of mankind." But while the doors of our sister towns and cities aro closed against us, the hearts of many are open to our distresses Liberal contributions have been forwarded for the relief of the poor and suffering in onr midst, and our heart* are filled with gratitude to those who forgot U9 not in the time of our trials" The Transcript furnishes the following list of deaths in Portsmouth and at the hospital since the 8th instant: I August 9.

A correspondent writes from Portsmouth to the Petersburg Express as follows : * " Our town presents a gloomy and sombre aspect. There is not a magistrate or consta¬ ble here. The council is without a quorum wd nearly all the town officers are gone. I wo of the police officers are dead and a third is now sick. The stores and banks arc closed, and the market is deserted; the private dwell¬ ings are tenantlcss, and all the hotels «id boarding-houses are shut up. All our citi- i n.a. except those who remain from a sense of duty, who could raise meana to get off have left, lhere wcro tweive deaths yesterday (Friday) and from twenty to thirty new cases offerer. Private letters mention the death of Samuel Middleton and Maria Jane Simmons; also, of a large number of sick. Tho navy yard is still kept open, but there arc not more than three hundred men at work, out of upwards of seventeen hundred before the commencement of the fever. Dr. Stone expresses the opinion that the IVef.18 not a ^n«ral epidemic in Norfolk. He thinks that the patient should be covered with a sheet and thin blanket, and that the treat¬ ment should not be too active. Com. Armstrong, U S.

From Kiiui.-In a latter raeeived by the St Louis Republican, dated Weetpert, August 10, the following is reported m a portion of ths late proceedings of the Eimm Legislature : "Day before yeeterday the bill to regulate elections passed. It provides that * any free white malo eitizens of the United States, and any free utile Indian who is made acititen by treaty or otherwise, over the age of twenty- one yean, who shall be an inhabitant of this Territory, and who shall hare paid a territo¬ rial tax. shall be a qualified elector for all elective offices.' When any vote is challenged, and he may be challenged by any other voter, he shall be required to take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, the Kansas-Nebruka net and the fugitive slave law. " Also, ' an act to punish offences against slave property,' passed the House. By this aot, raising a rebellion or insurrection among slaves is made a crime punishable with death; if any free person shall bv speaking, writing, or publishing, incite rebellion or insurrection among the slaves in Kansas Territory, or in¬ flame them against their masters, they shall suffer death. Death or imprisonment for life is the penalty for deooying slaves from their masters, and for assisting to deeov off slaves death or imprisonment at hard l»or for tan yean is the penalty. This bill paased without a dissenting vote." Mr. Fillmobb is Irblawd..The Cork Re¬ porter thus alludes to the honon paid to a dis¬ tinguished visitor at the Irish lakes : '.The ex-President of the United States, Millard Fillmore, accompanied by Mr Davia, of the New York bar. and a eourier, has been sojourning for the last few days at the Lake Hotel, Killarney. Having been fortunate in having a fine day through the ' Gap,' he ex¬ pressed himself delighted with the enchanting scenery of this most delightful spot, and the varied beauties of the lakes and the mountains surrounding As he was leaving in the morn¬ ing. the buglers connected with tne Lake Hotel placed themselves under a tree out of view, and commenced playing ' Yankee Doodle."

aisjO:itioa of this Government to acquire Cubawith the consent of Spain, and explain* thatMr. D <dgc is already making efforts to thatetd. if the iniormsiion, which its predicatesits remarks on t^a subjcct is reliablo. Theeditor s.iys :

'. So lou^r a time has elapsed since the pub*lio j of cotc, either in Spain or in theUi.iudi States, hare ccascd to discuss the

2auctions ?ruwing out of the overweahing de-ife of portions of our pvople to gain possessionof Cuba, by lawful or unlawful means, that

we had really begun to hope that the wholeic: tter was at an end. The active and rigor¬ous measures pursued by the Executive of theUnited Status in arresting the fillibustering^Pfditions, and the rery decided refusal ofip «in to liston to ai y proposition lor the transfer «f Cuba to the Lai ted States, were both sostrongly evincive of a settled and unwaveringp«'li-y that wc have been struck with no littlerap)Lm . whiah we think will be partaken bya great majority of our readers.at seeing inthe I'eri i correspondence of the New YorkTimes scm< thing more than a mere intima-tt"E that nur new Minister at Madrid has beentaking steps to bi ing the affair again underronsideration. The manner in which the cor¬respondent of the '-Times" mentions the fact,nnU the i otice which has been taken of it inthe M diid papers, which he quotes, cannotl ave been with* ut foundation in truth.We are truly sorry to see it; but the presentstate ot our ininrui ition upon the subject isnot such as to ju-tifj uur doing mora than ask*ing the attention of ur readers to the follow¬ing extract from the letter referred to, bear¬ing data the 1st of Augu t:

44 4 Things look hi it Mr. Dodge, our Minis¬ter, liad bien m iking some propisitioos, orpailaf'S sonio indie tions, to indiscreet per-*.11- upju the C' nvecience of Spain's cedingCuba to us p< a>:e:ib)y for a large sum ; and itappears tha susceptibility of the Spaniardshj« again tikvn the alaim, and the press i.->fell oj i.ew protests repelling every proposi¬tion. Tha L'^cc*. (Government paper.) theNovedades (p pu'ai paper,) and the Espana(Moderado.) expre-a themselves with much?armth on this subject, and recommended theAuierioan Minisur not to allow himseli to beied aw:*y by vain h .pes. The Government it-Be.f has thought proper to reply to all this inthe efh^ai U-ieito with the following declara¬tion :

4 4 Let the | ublio press and the newsman-?ers r*j what tbey please, the conduct ot" thepani.-h G vemmmt relative to the sale or

evasion of tha island of Cuba will be alwayseirietly coi.foimed to the national vote, mani¬fested in ana ner ULCsnal'y solemn, explicit,and significant, in a memorable session oftfc-- C nitituent Conjress.' *"

Thereii muoh in Mr, Bet jamin'a letter that we nj>-prova; but if rearming is ri^ht. as we thinkit is, ois rtmedv is wrong Mr Benjamin ad-mil* that the Whig party is gone, aod, withall his prejudices, be cannot deny that theD mocratic party sUnds firm; and yet hewould break down the Demoeratio party,which is confusedly the only barrier betweenthe South und the Ab dition fanatics! Inother words, he would hasten the catastropheof separ tion by div.ding the people by geo-grapLical licea on the subject of slavery. Theportion of Hon. t. W.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND G033IPDull Timet..We, who cator for the amuse¬

ment and edification of the "dear people" afterdicner, are having jnst now a very hard timoof it, there being inch a total cessation of allinteresting occurrences in public affairs her©and throughout the country, as we never knewbefore. Nothing striking can be done by theGovernment just now, beoaise thcGovcrnme: tclock is ao wound up as that it goes by it¬self, ticking along in the eld humdrum way.Jefferson said that«« few die and none resign."Tke party in power haying taken unto them¬selves all of tho spoils of their last presiden¬tial victory they fancy, few or no ebnnges arebeing made. So the politician from abroadbavo ceased for the timo being to come toWashington to "cahoodlc" over office as olyore. Their aspiration?, their baek-bitingstheir asseverations, their importunities, and.ere they all get through around the Depart¬ments, the seedy habiliments of more or les^-of them, are no longer at hand to furnish us

the groundwork for readable paragraphs.The warm weather makes shockingly againstus, too, as nobody seems to havo sufficient en-

ergy under its melting influence to d j any¬thing worth recording in print.Thus our labor is doubled.news of interest

we must find, and while suffering bodily andmentally under the enervating effects nf nn

August sun, we must strive much inoro undersuch circumstances as we describe above, tocater for the Star1* columns, than wber.Washington is the scene of oscuircnoes preg¬nant with the future of the country, with hun¬dreds of men in it whose every movement, iinot sentiment, is of great interest to the publicat large. Alas for us in humdrum-times likethe present! Then it is, that wo feci tho pro¬fession of a journalist to be irksome and lifeW®*T'DC» being forced to bo sprightly ar.dforcible, or at least to strive so to be, wh. n

we feel that wo are stupidly duil and almost a?

weak, bodily, as " Taunton water".proverbially w.tnout strength enough to run downhill, if the old New England adage may berelied on. Won't somebody pity, us in "this,our extremity ?

The Republican Party..The Now YcrlTribune says that SeLator Ii:»mlic, of M 'ine,Las declared for this new political organizationWe doubt the fact, though tho Tribune, be¬ing the chief newspaper of the movementaiight be expected to know early of occurren¬ces likely to give it strength and importanceIn the fame number of the Tribune we finda constitution and by-laws purporting to bethose of the association of the Republicanparty in Washington city, which, as a matteiof course, can all be comfortably scaled in thesanctum of our neighbor of the National Era.if that apartment is twelve feet square 41 TheRepublican party in Washington City-' is no¬

thing moro nor leas than the never-to-be for¬gotten Van Buren Buffalo platform party ofthe Federal Metropolis, weakened by the lossof at least one-tenth of its m;znbers. in thewithdrawal of the two individuals who havingbeen conspiouous free soilers in iS4d, are now

proprietors of the Organ newspaper, wnicb.to its credit be it written, has, as at present cdited, no affinity, whatever, with abolitionismdirect or indirect.The fact tha. tho Democratic party are in

much better plight in Maine at thi-i timo thanat any previous timo in tho last two years,having a fair change of success in tho nppreaching election, ii nothing else, lead* us toplace a little confidence in tho Tribune'* an¬nouncement concsrning Senator Hamlin, who.though decidedly anti Nebra-kaish, w«s in allother respects in full communion with theDemocratic party.Senator Seward, and not Senator Chose, as

many fancy, is the ruli.ig spirit of the new

party which has so soon swallowed KnowNothingism whole, and with little greasingWe do not believo that Senator Sewarl and hi-immediate managers hope to carry the day in185(1. Indeed, we know that during the lastsession of Congress, wheu they were layingtheir plans to begin this organisation in thesummer, they freely admitto i the impossibilityof brining their party under three or fouryearaup to the strength necessary to enable them tocarry a national election.They will run Chatc, or scmo one elso wil¬

ling to be beaten, in 1856, reserving Mr Sew- (

ard, for whose benefit alone the organisationwas oonoeived, f.r the contort of 18tf0. Longbefore that time arrives, however, it will befound that abolitionism cannot possibly ho in¬stalled supreme in tho Government of thoUnited States, as they are now constituted,and also that the Catholic anl foreign-bornvoter# will not aid in that work, howeverearnestly nnd consistently Governor Sewardmay have labored.as he hxs done beyond allquestion.in their defence.As this new party gains strength at tho North,

demonstrations against tho continuance of theUnion, if abolitionism bids fair t* be installedin its government, must so increase throughouttue South as to cxcito greatly against the socalled Republican party all Northern menwhose profits and property may be involvedin the continuance of the Union. Year byyear, through the aggregation of capital, thepower of that class is becoming greatly in¬creased, notwithstanding tho increasing p >pu-laxity of extreme radicalism in the non-slavoholding States. That power has not yet beenbrought into play ; but serious danger to the .

Union, from the increasing political strength olabolitionism, will nut long henco compel it*exertion; when it will bo found equal to tLeemergency, or we are greatly mistaken in cmestimation of the political elements of the times

Senator Rusk..This gentleman has re

cently written a very emphatio anti-KnowNothing letter, which was published aboutthe time of the appearance of the KnowNothing letter of his colleague, Senator Hous¬ton. Up to this time they have acted togeth¬er consistently, in politics, the former standingby the latter from the battle of San Jacintoto the appearance of the letters in question.Both are very popular in Teia<, and whilethere is a considerable party there, (though a

minority,) bitterly opposed to General Hous¬ton, his oolleague is literally without enemies>n his State, though he has fewer persons inthe State so ardently and enthusias ioally de¬voted to him. The contrary position taken bythem upon Know Nothingi?m, if that last3 sixmonths longer at the South as an importantpolitical element, will probably result in the r

personal estrangement, which csn be broughtabout by nothing short of danger to the supremacy of the Democratic party in tha State .

which, (we judge from experience and inti¬mate knowledge of the character and personaland pelitieai relatione of these two gentlemen)will ekme weaken tha bends that have V a dGenteel Beak to Oenecal Houston, inducingMa te eftee stake taepertaat personal saeri-

loes and run ruki of all aorta in hie defenoetgainat tha talented, unscrupulous. and attimea threatening Apposition arraigned againsthim (Gen. H.) in Texaa erer since the battle)f San Jacinto.We await with no little interest the eleetion

returns from Texas, in tho belief (from our

knowledge of her politics) that the reeentlypromulgated prununcfamento of Gen. Houses.xerted a powerful effect upon the vote of theit* to, only to bo counteracted by the letter oflen. Rusk, if that was published in time tolave ootemporaneous circulation ' with theiher. Houston has exercised, since 1838, a

Personal influence in Texas hardly inferior to

.hat of Mr. Clay in Kentucky, and greater

.han that of Mr. Webster in Massachusetts,luring the last ten years of that distinguished.nan a life. We havo no idea, however, that'Jen. Houstou can give Know Nothingism a

riumph in Texas, even temporarily.our cu-

ioeity being to learn how near he can come to-he accomplishment of that purposeThe act of General Rusk, in throwing him¬

self into tho breach in this case, will greatlyxcrcase his national popularity. He ia veryittle known out of Texas, when one takes into:onaideration his long service in the Senate,\nd the fact that his fellow Senators, includingVir. Clay as well as Mr Webster, have longcgarded him as one of the ablest (statesmenfho have graced the National Legislatureince the annexation of Texas. Ho us natu¬

rally an indolent man, and has an abidingvjnteinpt for the small squabbling of public«ifo, which, together, have kept his name fromippearing in the newspapers as conspicuouslyh those of dosena of his compeers in theSenate possessed only of a tithe of his abilitiestnd statesmanlike attainmenta. We are in-Jlined, however, to think that, next wintercircumstances will compel him to take a muchnoro active part in the political transactions>f the Senate than ever before, in which casele will rapidly become a man of great distinc¬tion.

Aid for tho Aifiicted .We are glad, indeed,-> hear that the Rev. Mr. Donelan. tho pastor>f St. Matthew's (Catholic) Church in this-ity, has returned to Norfolk and Portsmouth:o attend to the afflicted there, after his recent^hort trip back to his church in this city, tonstall a temporary successor in miniotering tohis own largo congregation. Five more Sister*>f Charity left \Y ashington this morning, alsolestined for Norfolk and Portsmouth, wherethey will bo wclcomcd with the hearifolt grat¬itude of all remaining there of those commu¬nities.Wo heard accidentally, to-day, that the

Rev?. Ulysses Ward aad French S. Evans, ofthiscity, are now actively engaged in preparingalao to go there, to minister to the spiritual

'

want* of the tiek and dying, who are so doati-tute of clerical oemfort in their present terri¬ble emergency ; four of the clergymen of thevicinage.who havo more faith in their leg*than in the Lord.having ignominiously fledftoin their post of duty when it bccame one ofdanger. They (Messrs Ward and Evans) de¬serve great credit for thus demonstrating thepractical influence of religion upon their ownpoinds, hearts, and characters.

Interesting..The General Land Office hasHsuqfinstructions to the proper land offices inMiasouri concerning tho lands outside of thesix mile limits on the Hannibal and St. Jo--eph s Railroad to the following cffect:

1. That all the vaoant lands in the sectionsbearing odd numbers, between the six andfijtren mile lateral limits of tho grant, (thatis within the nine mile strips on each aidetuereof,) were elected, or intended to be se¬

lected, by the State, and the State will be en¬titled to said landa whether they have beenselected as yet or not; therefore, ahould theUnd officer* diaoover any vacant land in suchjdd numbered aections, they are ordered notto restore them to entry, but to report thom tot;io General Land Office, so that they may beapproved to the State; nor will any of thembe subject to pre-emption, unless ooining within the purview of the acts of 3d March. 1853,:.nd 27th March, 1854, referred to in the pub¬lic notice.2 That all the vacant lands subject to pri¬

vate entry at the date of withdrawal in theeven numbered sections within the nine milestrips, and the sections lying outride of the!;:teenmilo limits, both even aud odd num¬

bered, will be restored to market, and are lia¬ble to pre-emption as contemplated by theabove mentioned aotions.

The Case of the Barque Undine..Thenewspapers of both continent# having, for sometime past, been discussing tLe refusal of CaptMurriman, of the American barque Undine, todelivor up hia papers for examination, and topay the toll heretofore exited at Stado bythe Hanoverian Government, on all foreignvessels passing up the E'be to Hamburg, we

have to Ray that the explanation of the Han¬overian authorities, eonocrning the occurrence,through their press, is that Capt. Merrimnnrjfu«ed to pay the toll and hubmit his papersto examination by the captain of the revenue

cuttcr stationed at Stade, only after an agree¬ment with the Hanoverian customs depart¬ment, that on the arrival of the Undine at Ham¬burg, his commission merchant should makethe customary payment.

The New United Statea Steamship Merri-mac..Wo learn that tho boilers and machin¬ery of this ship, being oonstructed at theCbarlestown (Mass.) navy yard, are all on

b<*ard and being placed in position. The ves¬

sel will bo ready to go to sea as early ae theI itter part of October.

The Ships being Constructed..It is thoughtat the Navy Department, that the exiatenoe oftae yellow fever at Norfolk and Portsmouth,with the attending circumstanoes, must neces-

.arily delay the final completiou of all the U.S. ships being constructed there at least sixmonths.

The Postmaster General has returned toWashington from bis recent visit to his homein Pennsylvania. He discharging the du¬ties of hia position to-day, and looks in capitalhealth. ..-

j whites remaining in town, the fever continueswjtb Utile if any abatement. About an equal°umber of new cases occur daily, and thodeaths average from seven to ten, as will bessen by the list below. Dr. Maupin, whose

! practice is extensive, informs us that the aick-ness seems to be chancing, and the fever, he

I thinks, js more of an intermittent characterj than it has been. Tho panic in the communityhad subsided to a considerable extent, and the

i. few now lel't seem disposed to remain and abidethe consequences ; indeed it is a matter of ne¬cessity. There appears to be no alternative,as we arc almost wholly cut off from all com-

j uunication and association with " the rest ofmankind." But while the doors of our sistertowns and cities aro closed against us, thehearts of many are open to our distressesLiberal contributions have been forwarded forthe relief of the poor and suffering in onrmidst, and our heart* are filled with gratitudeto those who forgot U9 not in the time of ourtrials"The Transcript furnishes the following list

the Petersburg Express as follows :*

" Our town presents a gloomy and sombreaspect. There is not a magistrate or consta¬ble here. The council is without a quorumwd nearly all the town officers are gone.I wo of the police officers are dead and a thirdis now sick. The stores and banks arc closed,and the market is deserted; the private dwell¬ings are tenantlcss, and all the hotels «idboarding-houses are shut up.

Private letters mention the death of SamuelMiddleton and Maria Jane Simmons; also, of alarge number of sick.Tho navy yard is still kept open, but there

arc not more than three hundred men at work,out of upwards of seventeen hundred beforethe commencement of the fever.Dr. Stone expresses the opinion that the

English Enlistments is the UnitbdStates..The London Times of the 2d of Au¬gust concludes an article on this subject asfollows :

"We earnestly entreat our Government to[consider well what they are doing in thustampering with the feelings of a susceptibleand high-spirited nation, and to withdrawbefore worse comes ef it, from a position solraught with difficulty, which it is impossibleto defend on the grounds of justioe, or supporton principles of equity and fair dealing.

From Kiiui.-In a latter raeeived by theSt Louis Republican, dated Weetpert, August10, the following is reported m a portion of thslate proceedings of the Eimm Legislature :

"Day before yeeterday the bill to regulateelections passed. It provides that * any freewhite malo eitizens of the United States, andany free utile Indian who is made acititen bytreaty or otherwise, over the age of twenty-one yean, who shall be an inhabitant of thisTerritory, and who shall hare paid a territo¬rial tax. shall be a qualified elector for allelective offices.' When any vote is challenged,and he may be challenged by any other voter,he shall be required to take an oath to supportthe Constitution of the United States, theKansas-Nebruka net and the fugitive slavelaw." Also, ' an act to punish offences againstslave property,' passed the House. By this

aot, raising a rebellion or insurrection amongslaves is made a crime punishable with death;if any free person shall bv speaking, writing,or publishing, incite rebellion or insurrectionamong the slaves in Kansas Territory, or in¬flame them against their masters, they shallsuffer death. Death or imprisonment for lifeis the penalty for deooying slaves from theirmasters, and for assisting to deeov off slavesdeath or imprisonment at hard l»or for tanyean is the penalty. This bill paased withouta dissenting vote."

Mr. Fillmobb is Irblawd..The Cork Re¬porter thus alludes to the honon paid to a dis¬tinguished visitor at the Irish lakes :'.The ex-President of the United States,

Millard Fillmore, accompanied by Mr Davia,of the New York bar. and a eourier, has beensojourning for the last few days at the LakeHotel, Killarney. Having been fortunate inhaving a fine day through the ' Gap,' he ex¬pressed himself delighted with the enchantingscenery of this most delightful spot, and thevaried beauties of the lakes and the mountainssurrounding As he was leaving in the morn¬ing. the buglers connected with tne Lake Hotelplaced themselves under a tree out of view,and commenced playing ' Yankee Doodle." Asho passed, the boatmen grouped in differentparts of the avenue gave him three heartycheen, as an acknowledgment of their grati¬tude to the great republic of America. Thisdistinguished gentleman repeatedly acknowl¬edged the compliment, which was unexpectedas it was enthusiastic."
