If ever there was a prospec t that Broadway would be relieved, it has now past The rail road which was to have stamped that avenue With the latest seal of freshness and progressiveiiess, must now lay on the shelf of postponement, vhalebonc has been too much for iron. ; Our ladie3 skirto demand more room for their distending hoops, and the pave is hardly large enough for the increased majesty of the red, blue and green plaids, 'which now ah; beginning to glare, in Autumn hues," along our over crowded thoroughfares. Carriages consequently need more space along the sidewalks, and omnibusses fire in a worse jam than s ever before.' The old is thus ever battling with, the ' new. The high heeled shok of our great grand moth ers are usurping the place of tan-colored gaiters. Gentlemen are going back to the ruffled shirts of 76 and short clothes, cocked hate' and bright shoe buckels will incnrtably turn up in a few years. Bed republicans and Young Ajracrica must brace for the conflict, for costumes oftfn effect opinions, and aris tocracy in government mav follow knee buckels and laced waist bands. , ,x . The Free Love Union Still attract a multitude of new members. We leanJ that the original few are about to extend the higher 'degress of the order to a multitude of the initiates French classes have b-je hrM5.l. and new exerc sea are to be introduced to bring loving souls and sympathising ladies into closer contact.. . The Fair of the American Institute is now in full tide of experment in the postal Palace." It is rather far up town, bnt the earjiest few who go for instruc tion are frequent attendants. A larger infusion of the fair sex would relieve the severe utilitarian espect of the exhibition, but no1" doubt a few days will attract the angels there. J ' -:. The Kane expedition' returned last evening, to the gratification of hundreds of anxious heaTts. ; Lieut. Hartsteins' expedition jwhich had proceeded to the Arctic seas, in search of Dr. Kane's party and which has. returned them to Us safely, left in May of this year. Kane and his company left in May 1853. Much important information and additional discove ries have been the results of these expeditions. Our Explorations to Foreign regions have not added much to the state of human blesfings. Our country has not been excelled by any other in the field of North ern research. But the great unexplored central re gions of Africa offer inducements which should rouse the spirit of enterprise in the wide-awake adventures of our land. New contribution's to science and fresh fields of Commercial operations offer themselves from a more intimate acquaintance with these vast regions and their millions of j human beings. Africa is the; point where modem civilization must sooner or later direct its stongest energies. The regions of the sun hold out brighter rewards to daring spirits than the told and dead ice fields of the Arctic seas. Our epidemic of g "and jury indictments and of in vestigating committf es into the conduct of high offi cials is how afflicting this unhappy oity. Half a doz en Aldermen and Councilnien, the City J udge, &e., &c, are now in the hands of the Law.

Briggs and Branca are stiH beseiging he English rotundity of the Chif of Police. The chief however leaves it oat, and persists in signing his name "George Washington." The vanced close to the Briggs trenches tare been- ad walls, and the assault most soon be successful. These are, after all, mere moncs on the political chess board. The election will soon stop the game. I Immense and innumerable posters called all. faithful Am2ricans to the jHippndrome last night to raise their voices in behalf of Hon. Frastus Brooks, re-election to the State Senate The meeting waS a failure, and the great procession a fizzle. The enthusiasm of the masses can't be-ot to the boiling point. Brooks" chances are desperate.- -. . - , These is in truth less excitement among the masses, in this city, this year!, than for along time past. The Contest is so entirely for mere men, and not for prin ciples, that the "steam cannot be got up. it is true that numberless conventions are held, but thev are i - merely the assembling of the same individuals under soma other names, and their endorsement of a candi date will scarcely give him an additional vote. They are well understood as part of the humbug of politics. ' "We have just received reports of the doings of the city fathers last night. Briggs made his assault on the Chief of Police but was not seconded by his allies. His resolution to declare the chief's office vacant was laid on the table to wait for testimony. It seems to be pretty clearly proved that both the chief of Police and the county clerk have never been naturalized. Briggs will knock Briggs. mem yet. we nave iaim m ll . ITT t A . It is rumored that the grand jury are about to bring an indictment asrainst the Recorder of the city. Ther is fun ahead from these indictments w E - Som of our politicirns are also endeavoring to ob- tain an indictment against tne "oenepiara, a some what-notorious American secret society who have been attempting td manage all sorts of politics in their own way.

The Reformers have been galvanized into life for the last time and have nominated a ticket composed of about an equal .uumber of Whigs and Democrats. Old Peter Cooper, as usual was made the cat s paw. How often good hearts accompany soft heads. The most successful literary effort of the day is the Biography of Geo. Law. It is distributed gratis, at ever county fair, at every K. N. Council and even usurps the seats of the railway cars, and if the Presi dency is to be given out by contract to the lowest bidder, George will be the man. - rru n,mnprfinne folks have not yet made their nominations.

The po litical batteries of New York send their electric vi brations over the Union. Therefore each move, of the operators is worth noticing. A straight out Whig State convention is to assem ble in this city on tho 23d proximo. The probable" result will be merely the endorsement of the American State Ticket. . . The exposure of Mayor Wood's contract foi4 rais irg the ship "Joseph Walker" has been but the be ginning of a series of disclosures and indictments which create much' excitement at home and abroad. The Mayor has obtained the indictment of half aioz en city officials, and, per contra, Alderman Henick is publishing, in the Sunday Atlas, a sort of biography of the Mayor under the title of "Records of Rascality." Both parties are exceedingly bitter. It is well for for lookers on to remembers that a v$y small ..suni of money will purchase an affidavit upou which charges may be preferred against almost any mari in public station It is probable that neither party is as cor rupt as they are charged to be. Rachael is going to Boston next week and Mons. Rophael Felix will have an opportunity ta commence in- a now field, and profit by the lessons he . has re ceived here. His popularity needs an airing, and would be improved doubtless, by a visit "down east." . Irorii the ilzileigh Standard. Amount State Taxes for IS55. . We are indebted to the politeness of the faithful and efficient Comptroller of Public Accounts, Mr. Brooks, for the following list of taxes paid by the dif ferent Counties for 1855, under the new revenue law. We nave given also the amounts paid in 1854, so that the reader may see at a glance the increase" in the different Counties.., The aggregate increase, it will be seen, is $89,325 GO. , ' ' The returns from Halifax and Jackson are not as yet entirely correct, and the amounts may be slightly changed when correct returns are received. Johnston County appears to have fallen back, but this is owing to a heavy tax paid by that County last year on col lateral descents. Thia large addition to the revenue is owing, in a considerable degree, to the increased' tax on merchants and to che re-assessment of lands. . . !

PKTTENGILL, & Co., 119 Nassau St. New York, are our authorized agents to receive sub scription and advertising. Mr. Barrinieiy ilis Standard, and the Nnn j cio Afiair. The Standard of the 10th irist: arter gratifying his predominant propensity, in abusing and misrepresent ing Mr. Riyner, in connection with the correspon dence on the Nuncio affair, seeing the barefacedness of his position to allow the matter to pass off so, tor wafds : the close of the article makes the following comments dn the course of Mr. Barririger : i "And now an observation or two, in conclusion, in relation to Mri Barrioger. " The course of that gen tleman in this affair, up to the publication of his last letter, has certainly not been characterized by that directness dnd frankness which the public had a right jto expect: If he had been more explicit at first, we Shotrld probably have had less of this charge; but the jconcltfsion is irresistable, thatm his conversations with prontinent Know Nothings on. this subject, instead of Muequivouuiiy uraiiuiiijj uie cumyt; usuiiuut, lie euuueii t bi referring to the interest taken m American pon ies by the higher order of the Catholic clergy m Eli- ope. In the end, ujwever, when it become lmpor- ant to his own reputation and to the cause of truth !,hat he should fully and clearly define his Impressions m the subject, he did so in a manner and with a force vhich left nothing to be said or asked by those who regarded the charge as clamour and unfounded: We gave our honest convictions on this subject, and do not propose to show the train" of thought By which we" have arrived at them. Mr. Barringer has addsd nothing ta his reputation by his connection with this affair." If the conclusion of the Standard be correct, as ex pressed in the language above, which we have placed in italics, the reader will readily perceive the censure I i ind abuse whicli has been heaped upon Mr. Rayner t'as prompted by a bitterness of feeling towards that geatleman, If " in his conversations wilh prominent Know Nothings," he " referred to the interest taken in Amer ican politics by the higher order of the Catholic clergy in Europe " and at the same time he " bvaded the ciiarge." (and the Standard says this conclusion is irre sistible) and alsoj made a statement of the fact that the Popes Nuncio was the first to inform him of Mr. Cjampbells appointment in Gen. Pierces Cabinet and that he was a Catholic, and that while the Cabinet appointments was a "subject of conjecture in Madrid," was it not also irresistible " that the proof of the charge was very materially' strengthened by thvse facts? If so, and this cannot be denied, then Mr. Rayner and those "Know Nothing's who have used this statement of facts by Mr. Barringer, were un justly censured were fully justified iu so doing. Mr. Barringer and every one else (who knows any thing about it) well knew that Mr. Rayner and the K. N's. had made opposition to the anti-Tepub'iean tenden- cy of Romanism a prominent feature in their creed it were reasonable to suppose that this, or arry other faefcvhich would iirove their position would bo i - i used. And-while these partizans loudly abuse Mr. Rayner, thcmselveacfced into requisition arguments of far less weight thanthTNncio affair now presents, to say nothing of it as it comafroin Mr. Barringer. Any body or anyj party tfotrld' EaVc brought sb rfh!- poftant a fact into requisition. If therefore, the Standard be correct in his comraents'onHMi'.

Southern institutions', will be led astray by demagogues who seek only to catch voles.

Already says Mr. Wilcox, have more than ten thottiend. of these votes been madei They are now seeking to abolit'ronize Southern states. Talk about some Npi them abolitionist !

Yen Deriiagogues refresh us with flumery about the free-soilism of a portion of the American Party at the j North ! We hope the peo ple will see for themselves and act accordingly. ! " Jprson.,, We ask attention to! the communication irr week's paper with the above signature, in relation to Judge Mafily's recent novel in this Sfetj -decision1, rejecting Universalits as witnesses in a Court of Jus tice. I Ve believe that vhat is termed the Common law..' does prohibit perscms wlio deny future rewards and punishments, from becoming witnesses. W here there is rio statutory enacted repealing ,or rendering tiul! and void snch provision, we are decidedly of the opinion that a Judge were bound hy the estab lished rule of the courts, as we understood them to refuse to admit as witness those who deny future re wards and punishment! But whether or not there be such enactments in our State, we refer the reader to the communication. We are clearly of opinion that such' a principle is' not only anti-republican in the fcxtrem'e, but is so ab solutely despotic. The' Universalisfs believe, as we undcrst and them, not only in the Divine authority of the Bible, but they ad yt the Protestant Bible arid recognize and teach obedience to all its requirements as thoroughly as the Liaptisfe, the Methodists, Epis copalians or other denon inations, also in rewards and punishments as certain and unavoidable as any ,f them. Recognizing thei , all the Divine Law which Is obligatory of the puBisliments consequent upon a violaticjn thereof, and a principle which would pre vent them from, testifying in Courts of Justice, strikes at the very foundation ot the great principles which underlie our Republican government. The reason why infidels are rejected lis' witness, is obviously, that they do not recognize the authenticity of the Bible and deny the existence of-God. Therefore an oath on what a man does not recognize, were simply mocker)'. It is n:t the Universalis! who is the worst sufferer by such a decision.. Others, in whose behalf he is intro duced as a witness, are the sufferers. It seldom so happens that he is a witness in his own behalf. Such a descisicn would seriously effect the rights of prop erty throughout the community. We might or might not, as we choose, vote for one to hold office, as we do Whigs, Americans or Democrats, but. we -wdxild not think of rejecting one of these latter (fof instance) as a witness in our" Courts.? . The m?rifan Party at the South Have abundant cause to- rejoice that although they have existed as a party but, comparatively, a few short mouths, they are yet in time to effect much good, j The enemy to those great priciples are mus tering every influence into service.

Cooks Map of the State was also on exhibition at the Fair. Everybody, ought to have a copy of that. It will be ready for delivery sometiAVe next spring we Itarn . We append the following from the Standard : In closing this report, it is due to ourself to state, that if any inaccuracies exist, they are due to the great want of facilities afforded the press. It is some what stange that the managers of this Fair should be so blind to the importance of tfcc press as one of the chief ingredients of success. The pitiable busi ness of charging the reporters 25 cts. every tin they passed in, is bad enough. But the most glaring over sight; is the total want ot facilities when on the ground. We Should not: have been able to present to our readers even the slight sketch of the perform ances of the horses, but for our friend, Jas. F. Taylor, Esq., through whose exertions we were enabled ' to occupy a place on the stand, after having maide seve ral futile attempts to get there. The judges are ex empted from all censure, as they certainly did all in their power to aid us. Chief-Marshal, Cen. Little john, is entitled to the thanks4 of the public erenerallv. as well as our own. The press may justly complain of not merely a want ot facility on this occasion, but also of an amount of disrespect. It may afford, as it certainly does, to perform a larjre amount of profit less labor, but it cannot afford to lose its self-respect." .Reporter iTliere has been a recent arrival of 333 ton of iLailroad Iron at Beaufort, for the Atlantic and N C.
