The side-wheel steamship Quaker City, Captain VTMsTB, from New York, which place she left at 5* I>. If., on Saturday la??, arrived hero yesterday. -Through the attention of her purser, Mr. F. W, Ely, wc havo been placed in possession of the New York papers up to Saturday afternoon, the 7th inet., from which we mnko up the following (UE.-VICRAL. I?ITLLI.IGENCE. In tho Convention of the Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, on tho Cth ?nut., a resolution was offered giving thanks to God for thoappearancoof delegates from three of the lately rebellious States, as a token of the future complete reunion of tho Church North and South, over which there was Home discussion, one member strongly opposing it as offering a premium for rebellion; but It finally passed. Some debate also took place over the question of the provincial organization of dioceses, and, in order to give the Southern member? an opportunity to co-operate, it was agreed to trans fer tho matter from the ?marge of the Committee Off Canons to a special committeo of thirteen. A number ?>f other matten of a miscellaneous nature were noticed, but nono of gcnoral interest. Wo have some additional contradictory item? frpm Mexico. A St. Louis paper has started a re port that President Juarez lias deserted his coun try and arrived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which 36 no doubt utterly groundless. Tho telegraph from New Orleans reports that the imperialist? at Mata moras arc again anlietcdwith a Cortina scare, it being stated that that redoubtable chieftain lias united with Canales and Eseobedo, and, with a combined force of twelve hundred republicans, is marching on tho frightened city. Scmi-oJlicial news received in Washington yesterday says that, notwithstanding the proclamations of the imperi alist General, Crinconrt, to the'licet thai ho was received with enthusiasm in Chihuahua, his re ception was very cold, and thai he was compelled to declaro martial lav on the next day after his arrival, The members of the North Carolina Convention, whose movements during the first four dayB of tho ?session appeared slow, yesterday went to work in ear'ncot, and to somo parp?te. They passed, by a unanimous vote, an ordinance declaring that tho ordinance of tho Convention of 17S9, ratifying tho Constitu? ton of tho United States, and alllcgiela iive acts ratifying amendments thoreto, aro now, nyd have boon ever since their enactment, in full force and effect, notwithstanding the '-supposed ordinance" of Secession, which, if is further de clared, in now. and has at all times nine?; its pas sage, been null and void. This, in effect, is an of ficial ayowal that the State has novcr been out of the Union. Governor Holden cmmiunicatCB this intelligence in a dispatch to tho Pr?sident, and adds that the ordinance forever prohibiting slavc rv in the State will be disposed of to-day, and that the Stale elections will be flxed for the 2d of No vember. Ono of tho Raleigh correspondents, in speaking of the character and sentiments of the men wh_ compose tho Convention, says that the majority of them aro not only strong Union men but arc, and were, during the rebellion, bitter anli Scccssionists. In many districts, at tho election for delegates, where moderato or doubti'ul"Union ists of superior talents wore opposed by strong and undisnuto?! Union men of only moderato abil ities, the latter were successful, idiowing that a healthy national sentiment pervades tho people. Vice Admiral Farragut and his ?wife, accompa nied by several gentlemen, on Friday, (1th inst, Visited Publie School No. 15, in Brooklyn, and met with ??n ontlm-riastic reception from teachers and B?Lolnrs. .The gentlemen composing the embassy from Tunis were still in New York on Friday, 6th inst., ami were busily engaged in visiting and viewing, various objects of interest, including Wall-street, the New York Historical Society rooms, and Bra dy's gallery. In tho evening they paid a visit to th<: American Instituto fair. Bobert E. Lee, cx-Gcnoral-iu-chicf of the rebel armies, was installed President of Washington College, at Lexington, Va., on tho 2d inst. The ceremonies were of a very unostentatious charac ter, in compliance with General Lee's request, but contrary to tho wishes of many connected with and taking an interest in the college, who desired to have the installation atteuded with considera ble pomp and display. Tho wirz trial has now been going on since the 26th of August. One hundred and twenty-five witnesses were examined for tho prosecution, their examinations occupying twenty-three days, and the record of their testimony idling nearly three thousand foolscap pages. The case for tho <le 1'cncc was opened on the 26th ult., and tlms far seventeen witnesses, out of ono hundred and six subpoenaed, have been examined, and fifty-five altogether have reported themselves. , In tho highly interesting divorce suit nt New London, tho examination of Miss Jennie Harris was concluded on Thursday. Mr. Jonathan N. Harris, ono of tho petitioners, was then examined, and testified in full as to somo of his wife's alleged indiscretions. He gavo an interesting history of his troubles with his wife, their origin and result?. Ho docs not swear t? any positive knowledge of any criminal conduct on hor part further than in discretion with Mr. Scoville, which ho witnessed. He admits having struck lier, or "boxed her jaws," and having choked her on ono occasion in an effort to "clioke the truth out of her." John Van Buren, in a great speech at Albany (N. Y. ), has come out for President Johnson for the next Presidency. Ho tolls the people that it is Johnson against Sownrd, Johnson against Chase and negro suffrago, domocraey against federal ism, State rights against consolidation, and lo {joes for Johnson for another term. John has lad a talk with the President, and finds him as sound as a roach on democratic principles. John, who has never been anything but a democrat, with a little dash of Buffalo freesoil, anil who has never supported anything but a democrat, ex cepting Charlea Francis Adams, knows what democracy is by instinct, knows that Andy John son is sound, and so proclaims him, as ?. demo crat, his candidate for the succession. Ho makes this proclamation to the democracy of Albany, gathered en majse around him, and they respond with lusty cheering. Gen. Grant is the recipient of a novel present from the Ladies' Social Circle of Eureka, Hum boldt county, California. It is a silk bed-sproad, one sitie of which is composed of rcil and white strips of silk, while tho other is blue silk ground, upon which arc neatly wrought, in the national eolors, thirty-six miniature tlags?ono for each State, with the name ?if each embroidered upon the blue ground of each little flag. In tho centre is the coal of arms, and motto, JSptui'tbue unum, with the following inscription embroidered in yel low silk : "To.Lie.itonant-Geiioral Grant, U. S.

It was as follows : "Ladit.s and Gmi-nxsir.N or Brown County : You aronllawaro that I am not in tho habit of making speeches. I am glad that I never learned toi"?a-,ki 8recchcs when 1 was young, and now I am old I have no dcBir<3 to begin. I hud rathor Btart out in anything else than in making a speooh. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I can only say to Ci.that it affords mo very much ploosuro to got k to Brown county, whero my boyhood was spout." -.*-. ? i . Tho New York papers say thai Mr. R. 39, Bhktt, Jr., of this city, had an audience with the Presi dent some days since, and that ho also visited the F/OC^man's Burean. . They appear to givo an ex aggerated account of these? jtotcryiowo, aa far as we can judge. The Richmond evrrc?poudcut of tho Now York Ti n $ gaye: Mr. C. .1.

Dates from Kanagawa, Japan, to August 2C, havo been received at Ban Francisco. The receipt*1 from the interior had been liberal, but the extreme prices demanded by tho natives almost precluded purchases. Silks bad also advanced eo much a? to check bnsincB8 ? stocks wem accumulating. There was an active demand for silkworm eggs for export to Europe. Exchange on London anil Chi na was lower. There was nothing new in political nfTnirs. Tho birth of Napoleon I. was celebrated during tho week preceding August 25, at Hakoda di?all tho residents of foreign birth participating apparently with equal interest. The fete wound up with races and a regatta, and is noticeable as showing tho great cordiality iu that mixed com munity. Professor J. D. B. DoBow i? in Now York mating arrangements preliminary to starting his Review. He declares it to bo his "purpose, in the futr.ro. to give it a national character, and to devote all his energies and resources to the development of the great material interests of tho Union?its com merce, agriculture, manufactures, internal im provements and general industry." Further returns of tho late election in Missis sippi indicate that General Humphrey? baa been chosen over Judge Fisher for Governor. A. M. West is elected to Congress from tho Fourth district. He is a good Union man. C. E. Walker is doubtless elected Attorney General of the State. Ho is au eminent lawyer. Tho Lighthouse Board is constantly directing tho re-establishment along the Southern coast of lighthouses destroyed during the late war. Large appropriations will bo required to put the coast in the condition it enjoyed prior to lHlil. Nearly every lighthouse from Capo Henry down tho At lantic and Gulf coast, with the exception of a few in Florida, wero destroyed, tho structures being torn down and the lenses broken or carried away. The New Orleans and Jackson Railroad has been completed through to Canton, Mississippi, and trains will soon commence running. Geo. N. Sanders, it is said, lias been appointed a postmaster in Canada. [J-'rorn the Regular Correspondent of'.he Eve:::ig Post.] Washington, Oct. (J.*?Persons who are samo* what intimate with the Secretary of the Treasury, assort that he has made up his mild respecting I tho policy for the future, which ho will urge unoii Congress for adoption. In a word, it is a policy which tho Evening Post has steadily advocated? one of contraction. Assurances havo been sent abroad to tho financial centres of Europe, that such will unquestionably be tho financial policy of the Government. The President is known to*fa vor it. TUT- rilKPIDKNT. The President expects to make a plcasmo trip South next week. It is really a pleasure excur sion, and has no reference to "reconstruction.* He has been overworked of late, and must have a little recreation beforo tho excitements of a Ion g session of Congress are upon him. PARDONS. An erroneous impression prevails with the pub lic as to the number of pardons thus far granted by the President, some estimates placing it as high as twenty-five thousand. Wo ascertain, on official authority, that the number up to and in cluding tho warrants signed this day is but two thousand six hundred and fifty-eight. More than three-fifths of these have been granted within the past ten days, and the business now averages from fifty to one hundred and fifty per day. Bnt as yet the number issued does not exceed one-sixth of the applications on file. To-day tlysro were fifty-eight pardons issued. Among thoso lately pardoned is L. Pope Walker, the first rebel Secretary of War? tho man who gave the order to open fire upon Fort Sumtcr. He has haunted the Executive Mansion for a month, and forced himself beforo tho Presi dent in advocacy of his own claims until ho finally succeeded. It is proper to state that tho Cabinet have declined to recommend tho pardon of any of tho excopted classes, save thoso coming under tho thirteenth exception, known as tho twenty thou sand dollar class. Tho Attorney General mukes no indorsement upon tho applications of the other twelve classes, and they are filed away separately for future consideration. When a porson included in any of these elassos is pardoned, it is dono by tho President upon his own responsibility and in the oxcrciso of that Exccutivo clemency for which he is not obliged to give a reason. Thus with Mr. L. P. Wetter, THE VETERAN' RESERVES. The Secrotary of War has beforo him a commu nication, signed by the prominent Senators and Representatives in Congress from all tho States, earnestly protesting against tho mustering out of the twenty-four rogiments of Votoruu Reserves now in service. They ask that, if it is intended to reduce tho troops to tho necessities of a peaco es tablishment, the volunteer forccB now scattered throughout the country and anxious to' be mustered out, bo dispensed with first, thus 1 leaving in the .service only tho regular army and the Veteran Reserves, which, combin?e!, amount to fifty-seven rogiments. Most of these regiments need recruiting. They also ask that pernuHsJon bo granted to tho Veteran Re serves to recruit their regiments up to the full number. It is urged as one of tho reasons for re taining theso troops, that most of them havo re ceived! during tho lato war, such bodily injuries as unfit them for the ordinary business avocations; and as the- promptly and patriotically volunteered * to put down the rebollion at its commencement, they should bo retained iu the service, and espe cially as it is now known that a regular force will lie required equal to that of tho regular army and the Veteran Reserves combined. Secretary Stan ton holds tho matter under advisement and for consultation with Gen. Grant, on hin return to thiB L-ity. PHILADELPHIA. October 0.?
