[a— pobtbd Pi-uriAt.t.v by Tataaatiß fob j THE IHCIIMOBD DISPATCH.] I O—AB— BSVOB, April —> —Tt Bight St. An dtrew*S Hall was thronged to its utmost ca pacity. Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, proposed that Senator Hayanl, of Delaware, take the Chair, but he excused himself, on the ground of phy sical inability. .John C. Preston, of South Carolina, was then called on to preside. In his addr.-ss, on taking bis seat, he said he considered this a great occasion—a movement of the Constitu tional lovers of this Republic. We are here to preserve our rights and redress our wrongs. Mr. Yancey said tbey had been sent to the Convention as delegates; tlieir mission being filled, they now retired as mere citizens from that Convention, for that body is now a mere sectional gathering. Should Douglas he nom inated, it would then become their duty to present or recommend to the people of the Wiitert Sates candidates for President and ,-c President oh a national and coustitu nal basis, and. therefore, a Southern baais. No action should be taken by the seceding delegates, however, until tha proper time hail nrrived. Mr. Bayard, of Del., did not regard the in fluence that overruled principle in the Na tional Cmiventiou.so ranch the spirit of Black J'epublicanism, as the thirst for power and plunder. He was very severe on the New York deb-cation, who, he said, had turned their b:uk< upon the South. He trusted that other Stales would withdraw,and that the Conven tion would be utterly dissolved. lie did not consider tbat the seseders bad the power to make regular nominations, but lie would ad vise, if it should bo found necessary, that they should join in recommending some soitable candidates, witli a written address to their constituents. Mr. Mathews, of Li., in behalf of his dele gation, thought that there should be no action oa the part of the sec od era, an til they saw whether, if instead of eight States, they did not to-morrow number fifteen, and perhaps seventeen. They should wait to hear boat those States who had asked for the adjourn ment lasi evening, in order that ihey might have the opportunity of consulting as to the course ihey should pursue under the eircum ! The Slates wer-> then called. When New York was called, Dr. Skinner, of the Wood delegation, said that h<» bad come here to at tend a National Convention, aad thathe had been si;ting out in the cold eight (lays, thedel egation to which he was attached having been one ted from their sea's by fraud. He had m> doubt that if Mayor Wood had been informed Of this meeting, he wt-tild have been here. Delaware and other States were called. Mr. Keid, of S. O, said that he was satisfied that Georgia would be with them betore to morrow night, and lie hoped that he would have the hearty co-operation of every Soutli ei'ii State. Mr. Lamar, of Geo., responded on behalf of Georgia, declaring that he believed a large majority of her delegation, would, before to morrow morning, enroll their names with the seceders. The meeting tbea adjourned to the City- Hal I, where Mr. Yancey and others addressed a large and excited steeling. LATER. C-ABX.BBTO-. May I —The Southern sece ders lasi night appointed a committee on or ganization, and adjourned to me,-: to-day at noon, when their organization will be perfect ed. The Douglas mea profess to be perfectly satisfied wi:li the secessions from the Conven tion, il.claiiiig-that the seceders do not repre sent the popular sentiment of their States. The Wood delegare:- all joined the seceders. [SECOND DISPATCH.] C—AB—BBTVB, i\lay I.—The Convention as semMetl at Xl o'clock this morning. The delegations irom Virginia, North Car olina and Georgia, were in their seats. The President stated that three separate atotioas to reconsider the platform were pend ing when ihe Conv.-utiou adjourned last 'might, and that Mr. Merrick, of Illinois, was entitled to the floor. Mr. Eeimiiigs, of Q—. rose to a privileged question, stating that the Georgia delegate* having been in anxious consultation and passed resolutions to withdraw, ihey could no longer remain ia the Convention. All but eight of the Georgia delegation then rose and withdrew from the Hall. The following delegations then asked leave to withdraw for consultation : Tennessee, Virginia, a portion of Maryland, and a por tion of Kentucky. Mr. Coiicn, ot da., said he remained to make an effort for harmony and union. Mr. Flournoy, of Ark., to .k ihe-same ground, saving that ihe South could uot unite ou the ground taken by the aiready sseeded delega tions. Mr. Montgomery, of Pa., w?s opposed to speeches. If they wanted to go let them go, and we will proceed with the business of the Cjii veution. [THIRD DISPATCH.] O—AatBBTOB, May I—l i*. M.—A running debate is still progressing cm the position of aifairs before the Cm vention, No prominent points have yet been made by any of the speaker*. The Seceding " Convention* is awaiting the action of the National Convention. [KOl'ltTH DISPATCH.] O—AKfcKßtoa, May I.—Mr. Russell, of Vir ginia, in the Convention presented ihe result of the Virginia consultation. It endorses ihe course taken by Tennessee, and If the resolu tions presented by the Tennessee delegation arc not adopt' d, be ia not authorized to casi the vote of Virginia on any subject. Kentucky endorsed the ground taken by Tennessee and Virginia. Tbey would all act together on this subject. Uiey wished aa endorsement of the Dred Scott decision, and au agreement that the nominee hall receive not less than MH voles as requisite for the nomination.- He concluded bj' moving an adjourument un til to-morrow, to give an opportunity for fur ther deliberation. Mr. Seward, of Ga., said the South would be willing to take the Cincinnati platform with an endorsement of the Dred Scott decision. Mr Berry, ot S. ('., said nothing more was required than the endorsement of Ibe decisions of the Supreme Court, to uuite the South.— This would briug back the Southern States into harmony and union. [KIKTH DD4PATCH.] Ciiaklksto.v, May I.—lv taking the vote for adjourning, the Georgia delegates remain ing in tbe Convention claimed the right to cast ilir full vote of the State. The l*ie-ident decided against the claim,and an appeal living taken the decision was con firmed, aud the remaining Georgia delegates left tbo Convention, declaring that it had dis franchised a sovereign State. After a long debate, at 3jj o'clock, n motion to adjourn until o o'clock m iheMfieruoon was carried. [SIXTH DISPATCH.] Chaulbhton, May I.—The Seceding Delega tion Convention ha* organized. Senator Bay ard, of Del., presiding. There is little prospect of a ballot in the Na tional Convention to-night. [BBVBHTH DISPATCH.] Cuarlbhiom, May L—The Tennessee reso lutions are as follows: First. That ail ciliasns of the United States have an equal right to settle with their property is th* Termoriea, and that under the deeiaion of the Supreme Oouri, which we recognise a. the oorrect exposition of ta* Constitution, nettber their right, of personor property can he Jeetroyed or iiapaired-by Congressional or Territorial legis lation.

TUB ADOPTIOB Or TRI PLATPOBB AND WITH BBAWAL or BTATSB, MONDAY. 1 rom a full report of the proceedings of the Convention, Monday, we make an extract whicn will render the reports pnhli.hed to-day mor. intelligible. After the minority plat form .Douglas') had been adoptedas a substi r?

Cries of order, gentlemen talkingat tbe top of their voice until each was drowned iv an uproar 1 Mr. Butler demanded that tbe question be Hirst taken on tbe lirst part of the resolution affirming the Cincinnati platform separatclv Adopted—ayes -.':«; noes ro. When Mississippi wi* called Mr (llenn arose and voted "No," declaring that Mi-sis- Kielieved tho Cincinnati platf, rm, as ex it North aad South, to be an unqualified le. I—Us voice was drowned in cues of next half hour up to 1 o'clock was spent ussing the right of the Georgia delega tion to vote by districts. The President having rept-ated his decision, that the wort! request, iv the case of Georgia ts equivalent to a provision or intimation to' ] Bote as a unit, Mr. Seward appealed from the i decision, but whilst the vote was being taken he withdrew the appeal. Mr. Briggs, of New York, said, now that the Cincinnati platform was adopted, he would move that all tbe balance of the resolutions be laid on the table. Mr. (lutings, of Maryland, rose to know whether he had been ruled out of order simp ly because lie came from a slave State .* [Cries of "order." and great confusion J The Chair stated that he had not, to his knowledge, called the gentleman to order, ex cept when he was clearly out of order. Mr. timings replied, perhaps so; and then added that he bad not had the honor of meet ing the President since |Bt6, when he made the most violent Whig speech he had ever heard. [Cries of "order."] Mr. Stewart raised the point of order that the motion to lay on the table would carry the whole subject with it. The President stated that it would not carry to the table the Cincinnati platform inst adopted. * Mr. Sittings rose to a personal explanation. He did not mean any insult or offence to the Chair by the remark lhat he had first seen him at a Whig meeting, making a Whig speech, lie honored such men. He honored any man who dared to be a Democrat in Massachusetts. Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, said the motion to lay the balance of the miuority repori on the uil.leisout of order, as it is equivalent to a motion to strike out all but the first resolu tion, which would be clearly out of order. The President declared that the motion to lay on the table was in order. THK—« SOUTHB—B STATKS BBBUSB TO VOTB. After the vote had commenced, ihe Ala bama, Mississippi and Florida delegate? de sired to withdraw their votes, and Arkansas withdrew three of its votes—all refusing to vote on the subject. The result was then announced. Ayes 81, noes 188, so the Convention refused to lay the balance of the platform on the table. Tiie Convention then proceeded to vote sepa rately on the resolutions. Mr. Brown, ot Norih Carolina, warned gen tlemen that if they adopted these resolutions the Democratic party would cease to exist as a national party. a Mr. Stewart, of Michigan, rose to a question of order. [Cries of "down," by the Southern members.) Mr. Kicnardson.of Illinois, also rose and de sired to address the Convention. Great excitement ensued, aud the Southern members demanded a decision of the point ol order, refusing to hear Mr. I'ichardsou, and crying him down. Mr. Richardson maintained his position, and great anxiety was manifested to hearh—a. He mad.- several attempts to speak, hat was called to order by the Mississippi and Alabama dele s_.*i i i *j ii ***> Judge Meek, of Alabama, demanded that the Convention proceed to vote, and that no other business be allowed. Mr. Cochrane, of New York, asked a sus pension of the rules, to allow Mr. liichardson to speak. Tne motion was declared out of order, and another half-hour was spent ia discussing points of order and privileged questions, when The vote was taken on tbe moiioii lo strike ou; the preamble and first resolution, rotating to the decision ot the Supreme Court relative to slavery, which read as follows : Ist. Re..\„!rtd.

This was regarded as yielding to the South. | The President then announced that the pre- I amble, with the first resolution, waa rejected. I [Thedispatch here is somewhat eontradie- I tory aud confused. We translate it, however I —I mean that the two resolutions relating to I the protection of slavery in tbe Territories, I wen- rejected, leaving the platform altogether I silent upon the subject.] Mr. Butler proposed that the balance of the I platform be voted upon without a division. j Mr. Stewart, of Michigan, demanded a sepa- I rate *rdte oa each resolsuiea. The vote was then taken on the resolution j to protect foreign-bora eitiaeat ia foreign t countries. j Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Florida audi Alabama declined to vote. I The resolution was adopted unanimously. Tha vote was then taken on the Pacific Kail- I road resolution, which was likewise adopted, I the same States refusing to vote. Duly -Jo I vo'es were given in the negative. I Mr. Cook gave notice ot a motion to recon- J aider this vote with the object of eheckiug I California lv joining the Alabama movemeut. The remaining resolutions were then voted I ou successively, the same Fates declining to I vote, and Arkansas en.ting hat three votes.— I All of these resolutions were nearly imam- I muusly adopted— ayes 2tt. Mr. Stewart, of Michigan, obtained the floor I on the motion io reconsider the v<*to on the I reeolulions, and preceded to address iheCou- [ vention, complaining that whilst those ou his I side had given a reapeetfn] hearing to the I South, that ihey hid not b.-"eii allowed to say one word. He, and those who acted with him, I had agreed never to agitate the subject ot I slavery in or out of Congress, and they had I kept the agreement, tto was ready to yield I money or property for peace and harmony, but could never consent to yield honor, as de manded of him by the Soath. Mr. Yancey replied at some length, declar ing tbat Cougress has the right ta protect the I property ot slaveholders against tbe encroach ments 01 Territorial legislation, wuerever it may occur. BUBUIIIOB OP THK COHVBWTION. Mr. Stewart, when he had concluded, moved to lay the motion to reconsider on tbe cable, aud called the previous question. ALABAMA WITHDttAWB. Mr. Walker, chairman of ihe Alabama dele gation, then rose and announced that he had a communication from that delegation to make to the Convention. He then proceeded to read a statement aud protest, giving their reason for withdrawing from tbe Convention. He also read* a resolution declaring that ia case tbe delegates of Alabama should with draw, as adopted by the Convention of tbat State, no other persons should represent that State in this Convention. The Alabama delegation then rose to depart, and as they did so JKH*H.SBirn WITADBAWB. Mr. Barry, of Mississippi, rose and stated tbat the delegation of that State authorised him to state that the delegation would alao withdraw from tbe Convention with Ala bama. LOfIMANA WITHDRAWS. Mr. Wm. Mow ion, of Louisiana, announced that he waa authorized to station the part of the delegation from his State, that they bo longer retain their seats in this Coarention. He said we bave heretofore declared that the Democratic party was harmonious, but we , are now parted forever—separated on princi ple—if our friends from the tree State* cannot join us in lighting tbe Black Bepablicans — He concluded by stating that two of tha dele gate* declined to join tbe majority, bat that the majority coatead, a* they are inatructed to vote aa a unit, ao oae has power to cast the vote of tha State after they leave. BOOTH CABOUBA WITBPBAWB.

T BIMIJ near Cairo, on Thursday night last, has been mentioned. The Memphis Argus has the fol lowing particulars of the disaster: Among other freight were ninety bales of hay, winch became ignited from the sparks of the chimneys. The flames spread with great rapidity, and in a few moments half the boat wits enveloped in a sheet of flame. On the dis covery- of the fire the utmost consternation prevailed on board. The boat was at once beaded tor the Tennessee shore, which was reached, but not iv time to prevent the loss of a numb.'!- of lives. Among the victims of this terrible calamity was tin interesting daughter of Captain Al fred 1. L-ieey, one of the owners of tbe boat who was on board at the time with his family' She was dragged from the shoulders of Mr j M. Worley, second clerk of the boat while that gentleman was swimming ashore from the burning wreck, by the limb of a tree and was drowned before farther assistance could be rendered. The others known to have been lost were three or four deck-hands, two cabin servants, three young children belonging to deck passengers, aad three negroes—making tweliein al). A Mrs. Hutchison, who had taken passage for this city, was in the water tor a considerable length of time, and narrow y escaped drowning. She was finally rescued, however, through the intrepid exertions ot a sou of theclerk, Mr. Cunuiugham, and reached her destination yesterday. Shortly after the disaster the steamer Mag nolia arrived alongside, and by the exertions o. Captain That—assoa and the crew many lives, winch otherwise would have been saerf fic.-ii. were saved.

Tub Honor ok Paiae-afta n.88?.-The If. Y.

Ii atust be perfectly clear to impartial observers that Heenan would havewon mis fight if he had had fair play. You nave only to put together two undoubted facts—that Sayers'friends and backers on the ground were at least as ten to one of Heeuan's; and that the ropes were cut or brokeu.and the ring tilled with outsiders—to settle the matter forever, lor the pretence of interference by the police is sheer humbug. Dad the favorite ol •he vast majority been likely to win, the ring would have been kept rigidly to the last, though the ropes had been cut into inch pieces. Km the blacklegs and thieves, who make up seven-eighths of the spectators on all such occasions, saw that their man was all but whipped, so they broke up the fight in order to save their champion's prestige and their owu money. After this, let us hear no more of the "manly sport" of prize-fighting. LATKR KflOM CALIFORNIA, TER OVERLAND Pony KxpuK.«s.-The Pony Express, from California, wiih San Francisco advices to the the 2Uth ult., has arrived at St. Joseph*., Mo The regular mail steamer sailed the same day. with luti passengers, and $l,**3?,oMi&spe cie for New York. Trade was dull. Inland freights were enormous. The first Pony Ex press from the East reached Carson Valley ou the l-Jth. and the news was thence telegraphed to San Iranciscoand published there makii • only nine days from ocean to ocean. The event was greeted with uiibouiiiie.l enthusiasm — The bulkhead bill had patsed the Legislature but was vetoed by the Governor,eausiuggreai reioicing.

The Japanese Emiiassy.—The House Com mittee on Foreign Affairs have under consid eration the subject of recommending an ap. propriation, additional to the fifty thousand do'lars already appropriated, to pay the~ ex penses of the Japanese Embassy during their stay in the United States. It is understood to be the purpose ot the government to assnme tbe entire control of the Japanese, so far as expense'is concerned, while they are guests of the Uuited States, which will be until the time of their embarkation. This will not, however, prevent State or city governments from extending to them any civilities addi tional, and temporarily becoming their hosts Capt.

ABJtr Si'bctaclbm—The Commander-in- Chief of the Eogliah army ia India has recom mended a novel experiment, which has been sanctioned by government. Three recruits lately arrived from England, were found to be near-sighted. The director general observed tbat if the Commander-in-Chief did aot object to tbe incongruity of a soldier ia the ranks wearing spectacles, there could be no other ob jection to their being supplied to such men as might require them. A large number of offi cers assiat tbeir sight in this way, aad it is a well known fact tbat many sportsman wear glasses, some of whom are first-rate shots, and who. could not see to shoot without them. Government bave accordingly authorised the supply of suitable glasses to tbe men referred to, as an experimental measure, to be reported upon hereafter.

The telegraph has noticed the arrest, of Nalle, a slave of B. W. Hansborcuj.li, of Cnl pejier county, Va., in Troy. N. V., and his res cue by a mob. The negro escaped from Vir ginia in October, 1 -->=■, and at the time of hi. ar rest was employed ac a coachman iv Troy. On Friday last Henry J. Wall, the affent of the slave's owner, arrived in that city wiih the necessary papers for the arrest, which was ac complished. The Troy Whig; says: Theexamination before Commissioner Reach was quite brief. The evidence of Avenll and the agent was taken, and the Commissioner decided to remand Ralls to Virginia. The *******"*, rwpers were made out and given to the Marshal. Hy mis ume if was . o'clock, aud the fact begun to be noised abroad that there was a m- Kitive, slave in Mr. Beach's office, corner of State and First streets. People in knots of teu or twelve collected near the entrance, looking at Nalle, who could be seen at at. upper win dow. William Henry, a colored man, with whom Nalle boarded, commenced talking from the corn-stone in a loud voice to the crowd.— He uttered such sentences nt, "There is a fugi tive (.lave in 'hat office—pretty soon you will .see him come forth. He is going to betaken down South, and you will all have a chance to see him. He i? to ha taken to the depot, to go to Virginia by tbe lir.t train. Keep watch »f those stairs aud you will have a sight." A number of women kept shouting, crying, aud by lonrt appeals exciting the colored persons assembled. Still the crowd grew in numbers. Wagons halted in front of ihe locality, and were coon piled with spectators. An alarm of Are wns sounded, and hoes carriages dashed through the ranks of men, women aud boys; but tbev closed again, and kept looking with expectant eyes at the window where the negro was visi ble. Meanwhile angry discussion, commenced. Sime persons agitated a rescue and others la yered law and order. Mr. Brock way, a law yer, had hia coat torn for expressing his sen timents, ami other mmst* kept the interest alive. All at once there was a wild hullon, and every eye was turned up to see the legs and part of the body of the prisoner protruding from th.. second-story window, at which he wis endeavoring to escape. Then arose such a snout. " Drop down I" ••Catch linn I" ■* Hur rah !• But the attempt was a fruitless one for somebody in the office pulled Nalle back again, amid the shouts of a hundred pair of lungs. The crowd at this time numbered nearly a thousand persons. Many of them were black, aud a good share were of ihe fe male sex. They blocked up Stale street from I irst street to the alley, and kept, surging to and frc ■ Martin I. Townsend, E«q.. who acted as counsel for the fugitive, did not arrive in th« Commissioner's office until a decision bad been render, d. He immediately went before Judge Gould, of the Supreme Court, and procured a writot habeas corpus in the usual form, re turning immediately. This was given to Deputy Sheriff Nathaniel Upliain, who at once proceeded to Commissioner Beach's of fice aud served it on Holmes. Very injudi ciously the officers proceeded directly to.i uJge Gould's oil;tee, although it was evident they would have to pass through an excited, unrea soning crowd. As soon as tlieolticer* and their prisoner emerged from the door, an old negro, who had been standing at the bottom of the stairs, shouted: "Here they come.-' and the crowd made a terrific rush at the party. From the office of Commissioner Beach, in tho Mutual Building, to that of Judge Gould, in Congress street, is less than two blocks, but it was made a regular battle-field. The moment the prisoner emerged from the doorway, in custody of Deputy Sheriff Up lift-, Chief of Police (,«.uin ( Officer Cleveland and Deputy Holmes, the crowd made one grand charge, and those nearest the prisoner seized him violently, with the intention of pulling him away from the officers: but they were foiled, and down First to Congress street anil up the latter in front of Judge Gould's chambers, went the surging mass. Exactly what did g .on in the crowd it is impossible to say, but the pulling, hauling, mauling aud shoutiug gave evidences of frantic efforts ou the part ot the rescuers, and a stern resistance from the conservator, of the law. In front of Judge Gould's office the earn that was at its height. No stones or other missiles were used: the battle was (Ist to fist. We believe au onlcr wa.- given io take the prisoner to tha court-house, but the crowd carried tl>e pris oner the other way, and there was a grand mah towards the erect, past First and River streets, as far as Dock street. AU this time there was a continual melee. Many of the of ficers were h tun—among them Mr. I'phain whose object was solely to do his duty by tak ing Nalle before Judge Gould in accordance with the writ of habeas corpus. A number in the crowd were more or less hurt, and it is a wonder that these were not badly miiireii, as pistols were drawn and chisels used. The battle had raged as tar as the corner of Dock and Congress streets,and the victory re mained with tne rescuers at last. The officers were completely worn out with their exer tions, and it was impossible to continue their bold upou him any longer. Nalle was at lib erty. His friends ru.shed him down Dock street t.» the lower ferry, where there was a skill lying ready to start. The fugitive was put in, the ferryman rjwed off, and amid the shouts of hundreds who lined the bank of the river, Nalle was carried into Albany county As the skiff lauded in West Troy a negro sympathizer waded up to the waist and pulled nalle out of the boat. He went up the hill alone, however, and there who should he meet but Constable Becker. The latter official see* nig a man wiih manacles oa, considered it his duty to arrest him. He did so, ami took him in a wagon io the office of Justice Stewart, on the second Hour ot the corner building near the ferry. The Justice was absent. Wheu the crowd on the Troy bank hod seen Nalle safely landed, it was suggested that he -night be recaptured. Then there was another rush made lot- the steam ferry boat, which car ried over about four hundred persons, and left as many mote-a few of the latter being soused in ibeir efforts to get ou the boat. Ou landing in West Troy, there, sure enough was the prisoner licked ui> in a strong office, pro tested by Officers Becker, Brown and Morri son, and the door barricaded. Not a moment was lost. Up stairs went a score or more of men—the rest "piling in" promiscuously, shouting and execrating the officers. Soon a stone flew against the door then another—and bang, bang! went off a cou ple ot pistols, but the officers who tired them took good care to aim pretty high. The fts satlaats were forced to retreat for a moment -They've got pist.-ls, - f ..id one. "Who cares I" was the reply ; "ihey caa only kill a dozen of us—comeon.'' Mote nones and more pistol shots endued. Ut httt the door was pulled open by aa immense negro, and in a moment he was felled by a hatchet in the har.ds of De puty Sheriff Morrison; but the body of the lallen ma p. blocked up tile door so that itcould not be shut and a friend of the prisoner pulled Uira out. Poor fellow, he might weil say "Save me from my friends.- Amid the pulling and hauling the iron had eat his arms, which were bleeding profusely, anil be could hardly walk owing to latigiie.
