I had the good fortune to pass last evening in company with the celebrated female traveller, Madam Ida Pfeiffer. She interested me exceedingly, not Aw Active aud Vatrvx Old Aoc Mrs. Anna Hughes, wife of Dea.

Ll The undersigned hereby signify their desir- that a public meeting be held in this city behalf of the Emigrant Aid Society, to be addressed by Mr. Thayer ami such other gentlemen as may be united with him. We also agree in calling such a meeting to be held at the City Hall this (Friday) evening, October 20tb, at 7 o'ch-ck, and invite a general at tendance of our citizens.

Niles, Normand Burr, Horace Johnson, Thomas T. Fisher, Ward Cheney, Erastus Collins, and one hundred others. RFOur neighbors, the Times, do not give the Opposition the full benefit of all the gains they have made. Iu the 33d Congress, they make Indiana, Democrat, Whig, 10. It is just the reverse, there is but one Whig from that ate in the present Congress.

The latest accounts from Indiana elect two Democrats, Smith Miller and William H. English. They both voted for the Nebraska Bill. The Columbus Slate Journal aud Indianapolis Stale Jour-nal put down these Democrats as elected. An interesting question is raised in regard to the will of Frederick W.

Gale of Worcester, who, with his wife and child, was lost on board the Arctic. His will, covering a considerable amount of property, was left in the hands of a friend, and the Transcript says that after certain legacies to friends and relatives, he bequeathed the residue to his wife aud child, or children if his wife should survive him, but do child or children, then all his property toher. As Mr. Gale aud his wife and child were almost simultaneously involved in the Arctic's terrible disaster, it becomes a nice point to determine, which of the three was the survivor, and consequently to whom the inheritance legally aud justly belongs. EThe Examiner, of Norwich, states that the New London Jail shows a very considerable diminution of crime, since the new prohibitory law went into operation.

There are now twelve prisoners in the jail last year at this lime there were forty. Committals for Aug. and 1853, 32 for June and July, 1854, 25 for Aug. and 1854, 15 The Examiner further remarks, that the law has saved one hundred persons from crime and consequent arrest and imprisonment, duriug the first months of its operation. Kb" The New York Evening Post says that nearly every railroad company is postponing its usual half yearly dividend, needing the receipts of the road for discharging the expenses of new works of improvements entered upon before the change in the money market was evident, aud for which they cannot now borrow money.

At the same time the best companies are refraining from incurring new expenses for construction, and this will relieve them in the future from the recurrence of the necessity of postponing the payments of such dividends as have been earned. YjiT A fire originated Tuesday night in the extensive bookstore of H. C. Morton, on Main street, near Third, Louisville, Ky. The flames communicated to the tinware store of McDermott, Clifford and the store of Cassidy St Hopkins the latter of which was but slightly damaged.

McDermott, Clifford Co. saved a small portion of their stock, but the entire contents of Mr. Morton's establishment were destroyed. The loss is estimated at $45,000, which is mostly covered by insurance. EP A man named Bartram, fell from the roof of the Presbyterian Church in Bridgeport, on Wednesday morning last, and was badly hurt.

The accident was owing to the fact that the roof on which he was at work, was slippery with the frost of the night before. It is stated that in falling he struck upon the roof of the Conference Room adjoining. Although badly injured, there is said to be some hope of his recovery. tjT The people of Cincinnati held a public meeting lately to request Gov. Mediil to call an extra session of the Legislature, to take into consideration the repeal of these financial laws that press so heavily now on their commerce.

The Cleveland Herald thinks that it would be a useless expense to call together the present Legislature. The next year will see different men elected, that will have more sympathy with the real interests of the people. VST In 1719, the white population of Maryland was computed to be 55,000, and the black 25,000. or one-third of the whole. It appears by the last United States census, that the white population of the same State was, in 1850.

575.000, and that of the slaves 89,000. Thus, in 135 years, freemen have increased more than ten-fold, whilst slavery, instead of being a third, has diminished from 33 down to about six per cent, of the entire population. The Bangor Mercury states that the Rev. John Bapst, who was on Saturday night tarred and feathered, and ridden on a rail, iu Ellsworth, was on a visit to that place when the outrage was committed. He was formerly pastor there, and was engaged in a controversy about the school question.

He has been pastor of a Catholic church in Bangor for the past few months, and the Mercury 'says "has done much good among the Catholic population, and has brought about many useful reforms, wiuuing commendation on all hands." VW Tuesday, iu Boston Harbor the steamer "Eu-ropa," dipt. Leitch, was clothed with colors from the trucks to the rails, 'in token of rejoicing for the victories of the Western Powers over the Russians. All the other British vessels in port also displayed their buuting.and the offices of the British aud French Cousuls had the national ensigns Hying from them all day. V5T A committee of five from each Board of the New York Common Council has beeu appointed to prepare a suitable memorial for presentation to Captain Luce for his gallant conduct on board the Arctic. A public meeting has been held at the village of Youkers, where Capt.

Luce resides, and a committee appointed to wait upon him aud kuow when it will be convenient for him, to receive the congratulations of bis fellow citizens. 13T By an arrival from St. Thomas, we have news of the secret expedition, the steamer Ben. Fraukliu end the bark Catherine Augusta. These vessels were looked upou with suspicion there, but were generally supposed to bo of an expedition agaiust Venezuela, to restore Paez.

I3r Samuel Jones of Somerset county, Maryland, has made this year $1,800 from his farm of 70 acres. Among his receipts were $180 for rose water, mint water, and peach water, aud $200 from ice, straw berries, butter, milk, cream and soap. His wheat crop realized $593, his corn $350, aud his potatoes $200. GF The splendid new iron steamer, Her Maiestv. built on the Clyde, to run on Lake Outario, sailed from Scotland seven or eight weeks siuce, for Quebec, and has not yet been heard from.

She had a sailing crew, ol course, but it is supposed, no passengers or cargo. 3 Two years since, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iti- diauu elected thirty-eight supporters of the Administration to nineteen opponents. These States have now elected seven Administration men to fifty opposition, a net Administration loss of 31, making a ditiereuce of sixty-tvo iu the House. BP Charles Spragne, the "banker-poet," has beeu Cashier of the Globe Bank of Boston, ever since it went into operation thirty years and he is now paying the sixtieth semi-annual dividend, not having been absent in a single iuslauco when the dividends were declared and paid. a EF A chap was arrested in the cars of the Southern Michigan road, one day iaat week, for passing a counterfeit five on the bauk of New Haven, upon the conductor, tn Lis carpet bag.

a roll of similar bills, amounting, to $1000 was fouud. on duty yesterday, and made a very fine appearance. They mustered ia good numbers and went through their evolutions handsomely. They were reviewed in the afternoon by the Mayor and sev eral miliiary officers. Towards night they saluted the Courant office a complement for which we "dot! the beaver." I Our ih ormp.t at the late elec- I- tious was in Hamilton Ohio which embraces Cincinnati.

Pierce in 182 had a majority of 4163. The Republican ticket received a majority of 7394, making a change of 11,577 iu that county alone. CW accounts siven the Allied troops on landing in the Crimea, twenty thousand of the Russian troops and seamen had been carnea on oy cholera. The disease was roost destructive on land, and seamen had been landed to man the walls. rS1 Five ocean steamers have been lost during the present year the melancholy list being as follows The City of Glaseow, the Franklin, the Hum- boldl, the City of Philadelphia, and the Arctic.

They will receive accessions as they go on. tW In view of the loss of the Arctic, the agents of the Cunard line have given orders to have each vessel supplied with two additional life boats. 13?" The New York papers publish certificates to show that Daniel Ulman was boru in Wilmington, Delaware. That question is sett'ed. ZW Fanny Fern is about publishing a novel.

It is a domestic story, entitled "Ruth Hall." EF The Newport (Ohio) Safety Fund Bank has suspended payment. IST There are nine Anti-Nebraska Members of Congress elected in Iiidiana and two Nebraskaites. IjF Thanksgiving in Kentucky, November 30th. Mr. Courant I am greatly rejoiced, for one, to see that Mr.

Thayer, assisted by other gentlemeu, has agreed to address the citizens of Hartford, at the City Hall, this evening, on the matter of the Emigrant Aid Company, iu the establishment and conduct of which he has been so prominent. I have heard his statements three times, aud every time with new interest. This company is now well launched and promises all which the most sanguine could desire. It has already, by its direct operation, and its indirect influence turned as many as six or eight thousand emigrants into Kansas, and has very nearly decided the vote of that territory for free labor. Indeed it just now begins to appear that this plan is capable of being wielded against slavery ou a much larger scale than was at first supposed.

It promises in fact, if wisely conducted, to be the most powerful engine ever raised against slavery, without doing anything contrary to law, or anything more questionable than a simple matter of business, viz the ticketing and forwarding of emigrants for certain points where they are wanted, and want themselves to be. I hope for one that there will be a general and full attendance, and au enthusiastic greeting of this great pioneering engineering instrument of liberty, B. Editor of the Courant It will gratify many friends of Mrs. Macready, in this city, if you will publish the following well-merited tribute, from the "Chronicle," of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to her merit in a new department of reading that of Scripture 8Bd Sacred Poetry. In spite of a violent storm on a Sunday evening, at which time she read, her audience, as we learn from the Portsmouth Paper, was very large, and went away delighted.

Mrs. Macready's Sunday evening Readinjr of Scripture, Sacred Poetry, as advertised to-day, is something new here and we are not sure that it has been doue elsewhere. The selections are, half of them, from the writings of eminent and devotional women. Ju reading such passages she will excel." From the Chronicle SONNET TO iMKS.

wet. 1 In Middltowa, Oct. 14, Mr. Charles HnrtW only because she is tbe first woman who has had the courage to travel over the whole world, alone, unattended and unprotected, but because her char acter, of itself, is a powerful and remarkable one. in person she is slightly and delicately formed, of scarcely the middle height.

Her features are quite small aud regular, her complexion darkened by exposure apparently, and her expression worn and aged by fatigue. And bere allow me to remark, how strange it is that different individuals see the same objects with such different appreciative vision. Madam Pfeiffer has beeu called plain. I do not understand how one who has ever seen her smile could say so. Her smile is wonderful aud extremely fas- Her soul beams out of her face with amazing brilliancy and sweetness.

I could compare it to Holding but the genial sunshine breaking out from among dark clouds on a dull day. My friend said, when a brilliant thought excited her, her eyes were like stars, and with a smile playing over her face, it was like a meteor passing athwart an eveuiug sky. She is very unpretending in her manners, affable, aud easy in conversation, although speaking English imperfectly. Of course, she talked of ber travels, and her thoughts often passed in a moment, from one part of the world to the other, iu illustrating a story, or iu comparing traits of character. She has been where a white man has never yet dared to penetrate, in the interior among cannibals, in both hemispheres, and I placed my three fingers within a wound (now cicatrized) on the upper part of her left arm, made by a huge negro and cannibal iu Pat-agouia.

I said Aowdid you escape the peril of such an expedition but I need not have asked the regard of her eye was so calm, strong and resolute, her smile so sweet and winning, that I saw how she overawed those wild, untutored savages. "Yes," said she laughing, "wbeu they threatened to kill and eat me, I patted them on the shoulder, and told them I was old and lough." In the course of conversation she spoke of Rus sia, of its nobles aud officers "they are all," she said, "incapable of truth they kuow not honor in its high aud chivalrous sense;" "ah," she said, "the black slaves at the South, in the United States, are not so unfortunate, nor so cruelly abused, as the serfs iu Russia, the She paid a warm tribute to the followers of Mahomet, their noble hospitality aud truth travelling among them (that is the Turks, Arabs, she said, "I was apparently poor, but the women treated me like a mother; the men, with honor and honesty; but iu the same circumstances and condition among Christians, quite different, quite different," with a good deul of "Of all the countries I have ever visited," said Madam Pleiffer, "of all the vile, immoral places I have ever seen or heard of, in savage or civilized land, tbe gambling saloons in California are the worst. I went there in company with frieuds the doors were open everything invited entrance. Splendor in every form, temptation most subtle and powerful, combined to lure the soul and body to destruction spleudid curtains, carpets, exquisitely painted pictures, whose subjects were so impure, that I involuntarily placed my bands over my eyes, wines, liquors of all kinds, free, and to be had for the asking, all combined to lure the poor mortal to sin aud death. Yet all was so voluptuously respectable, so perfect in good taste, so refined in appearance, so beautiful to the eye, that its influence stole into the soul, like the deadly poison of the upas tree.

What wonder if with awakened passions, and brain made insane by liquor, allured by lovely young women, who preside at the table and overlook the game, with gold around and on every side of him, the poor victim rushed to the gaming table for a new excitement and a new phase of stimulation I asked Madam Pfeiffer, of all the countries she had seen, which she should prefer as a residence, quite aside from her love of her native laud, (which is. I think, Prussia.) She said, "Ceylon, the Island of Ceylon, the climate is so fine, the country so beautiful, the people so kind, hospitable and courteous." Madam Pfeiffer is a genius and of course a wonderful woman she is a rare combination of delicacy aud strength not ouly mentally but physically. "My nerves and muscles are like cords," she said, aud tbey must be, but these could not have carried her through the fatigue and perils of ber travels, bad not her resolution beeu invincible, her determination indomitable. She is not unsexed by her intercourse with the world, she is still sweet voiced, subdued and quiet. I felt attracted towards her both by love aud respect, in a wonderful degree.

She needs no protector the strength within her own soul, is a panoply and shield, and there is One above, whose care is ever over those, who put their trust in Him. May she ever find hearty friends, and a home warm with hospitable cares for her comfort, wherever her wandering feet may lead her, and in whatever land she may find a temporary or permanent abode. u- C. w. s.

At the Unitarian Convention held in Montreal last week, the following resolutions, touching the subject of slavery, offered by Rev. Samuel J. May of Syracuse, were unanimously adopted Resolved, That while we deeply deplore the present inability of humane and Christian people in the United Slates to give shelter and protection to the poor fugitive from the most cruel and unchristian institution of Slavery, we thank God that only an invisible line separates them from a country where these outcasts may be. as thousauds have been, kiudiy received, and put under the protection of the most powerful Government upon earth.

Visit of Capt. Lace to Sir. E. R.

Collins. We learn that ou Tuesday afternoon last, Capt. Luce went from Yonkers, to New Rochelle. aud there had an interview with Mr. Collins.

Their meeting was one of peculiarly touching interest. As lute as Monday night, Mr. Collins entertained hopes that a portion of his family at least might bo saved but the perusal of the accounts of Tuesday, containing Capt. Luce's statement of the position of his family when the 4rctc sank, left him hardly any grouuds to rest a hope upou, and his interview with Capt. Luce, on Tuesday, only confirmed his worst fears.

Since then, we understand, Mr. Collins has become comparatively resigued to his severe afflictiou. N. Y. Times.

Thi Lost or the Arctic We learn that Dr. Fraucke Williams, of Yonkers, a brother of Mr. Richard S. Williams, of Natchez, (one of the passengers on the ill-fated Arctic,) bad yesterday an interview with Capt. Luce, at his own residence, and that Capt.

Luce stated he was introduced to Mr. Williams shortly after leaving Liverpool; thht he became well acquainted with him, and was greatly interested in him that Mr. Williams shook bands with him, and bade him farewell on the deck of the steamer; that he was extremely calm and collected, aud entirely ready to meet his probable fate. The Captaiu further stated, that the wife of Mr. Williams and her sister (Mrs.

Geo. S. Howland, of Brooklyn,) and her eldest son (Augustus Graham Howlaud,) he was not so well acquainted with, and does not remember seeing them on deck neither did be remember seeing Mr. C. St.

John, Jr, with Mr. Williams's party (five in all.) Captain Luce thiuks it not improbable that Mr. W. was separated from his wife, sister aud nephew, as the ship went down, and that he may have clung, as the Captain himself did, to some flouting par of the ship, and afterwards been rescued by some vessel. This interview with Capt.

Luce, Dr. Williams had at an early hour vesterday morning, and it was necessarily a brief one. Richard S. Williams was the son of the late Rev. Saml.

Yearly Advertierswitb privilege of OD' changeable once a American Ifcroad. We alluded yesterday to the report of one of the letter writer of the existence of a hostile feeling in the conntries of Europe towards America, itiis feeling has arisen in part from the demands which our countrymen make when travelling, of as much freedom and as many immuuities as they enjoy at borne. But the principal cause on the continent is the jealousy of the despotic powers of the secret influence of our principles on their own subjects, and on the future stability of their governments. Of the French and English hostility to which that letter writer alluded, we suspect it exists only in imagination or iu the folly of newspaper editor who wished to round offa period. However firm England1 might feel in her pos.t.on as an ally of France, and with ber as the conqueror of Russia, ahe would never think it for her interest to use that alliance or that power in an endeavor to crush us, bowever much she might be irritated by our Grey-town attacks or Centra! American intrigues.

Let it be remembered that we are the best customer England has, and that she will ber much even from Franklin Fierce' follies, before she will quarrel with It is true that success in the Russian war may make her haughty and overbearing in her treatment of other powers, but it will not be where her interest is so much concerned. War with America would be ruin to the manufacturing interests of Great Britain. But we need not be in a pau-ic yet the Russian war is by iio means over. We have many out-standing complaints against the smaller European powers, sufficient to keep them in a state of irritation against ns for some time. Austria has had no good will towards us ever since the Kofzta affair, and endeavors to keep up the feelings of ill-will towards America in all the smaller powers whom she can influence.

Our claim that an' individual, who has been made an a riiiim atifl who returns noon a visit to bis native country, is not subject to the laws of military conscription, is still a subject of dispute with Hauover and some other German powers, and does not diminish the feelings of ill-will extended towards the principles of our Government. Our disputes with Spain are too well known to need repetition. These disputes have originated, not so much from our free principles, as from our aggressive ambition and thirst for acquisition. Captain Gibson's affair with the imbecile Dutch Government may lead us yet into reprisals and a serious To. add to all these comes up now the affair of Phillips with the Swiss authorities.

It seems that Mazzini has been lately skulking in Switzerland, "with an American passport, under the name of Phillips. The. Austrian Government demanded of the Swiss Republic his arrest and detention. Iu consequence, when a real "Mr. Phillips," with an American passport, presented himself atBasIe.be was arrested and examined.

He was treated with much insult by the authorities because he assumed to be an American citizen, when they knew him to be Mazziui. He was confined seven days in a dungeon, on bread and water, to bring him to confession. He asked to see the American consul, but was refused permission. After his release, for the officials found out their mistake, He went to Berne and endeavored to lay the case before the Swiss Government. He demanded of at first, twenty-five thousand francs then the actual expenses he had sustained and finally, as nothing could be obtained, an apology.

Even this was refused, and Mr. Phillips will soon return to America and lay bis case before Mr. Marcy. Whether the great "Diplomatic Senate" that meets at Baden, tinder Dudley Mann's auspices, will attend to Mr. Phillips' case remains to be seen.

If the facts are as above stated, they furnish a ground for a demand on the Swiss authorities for an apology for the mistake they made. But all such things add to the These powers both fear and hate us. They would gladly see us hambled by a lung maritime war with Tj 1 -E I 3 JIlfUtCBUU ItUglUUU.
