The mails ‘will arrive this morning. ‘Thie news is important in many points of view. ‘The aspect of affairs in France, the disturbance in Vienna, and the terrible struggle in Frankfort, are facts of the greatest interest at this moment, ‘The position of England and Ireland, the unsettled eondition of France, the frequent riots on the con- tment, the troubles between Denmark and Ger- many; between Austria and Italy; between Naples aad Sicily; the re-election of Louis Napoleon to the National Assembly; the heavy vote polled in the department of the Seine for Raspael, the so- @ alist and red republican; the weakness of Spain; the efforts of Charles Albert to re-organize his army; the rivalries and jealousies in the new Ger- manic empire; al! indicate a general war in Europe. The greatest efforte are making, by France, England, and Russia, to prevent this catastrophe. M. de Lamartine and General Cavaignac have staved it off thus far; but the antagonism of in- terests of the mediating powers, the ambition of tion of the Engheh and Scotch people, who think and feel in the same direction. No great radical change can be effected against the corrupt oli- garchy called the British government, but by a general movement throughout the middle and lower classes of the three kingdoms together. The repealers of Ireland, the chartists of England, | and the radicals of Scotland, must all umte, in order to effect any great reform against the government of terror which now lords it over England. If the Irish Directory wieh to ex- cite, in @ proper manner, the sympathies of the American people, they must enlarge their foundations, and widen their bottom, and em- brace amovement looking to the aid and assis_ tance of republicans in every part of Europe, in. cluding English, Irish, Germans, Italians and all. What is wanted among the republicans of all Eu- rope, is aknowledge of political action and of those principles of peacetul progress which have marked the history of this land for the last half ceatury. The vision ot the Irish Directory is therefore too narrow and restricted, in the present enlightened age of the world. Let them embrace a wider extent of movement, and they may be able in pro- cess of time to effect some useful object by aiding the progress of events across the water. The great contest between liberty and despotism is now begun; the centre of the movement 16 France, from whence it is extending throughout Europe. This contest will not be terminated by a@ success- ful emeute of to-day or to-morrow. The final es- ablishment of hberty and equality, such as they exiet in this land, can only be reached in Europe | after a termble struggle of many years’ standing | with the remnants and old buttresses of European | despotism and aristocracy. Opera Movements IN PaicaperHia.—The tele_ graphic intelligence, relating to the opening of the Opera in Philadelphia, which we published yester- | day, took every one by surprise. There was noy agreat deal of contidence felt in advance as to the capability of the new movement of Mr. Fry, but no one was prepared for the singular and laughable fiasta which took place on the first night of the (pera at its opening, in a neighboring city. The account states that Truffi was seized with a sudden hoarseness, and could not proceed with the score. We shall learn more of this, probably, in a day or two ; in the me@@time we cannot antici. pate a very brilliant season forthe Opera, got up management Mr. Fry we believe to be an amiable and well meaning man, but to manage an Italian Opera in this free ane bracing atmosphere, requires petty princes in Italy, and the great increase of | a great deal of skill, some science of the world, republicans in Europe, will, we are inclined to think, prove too strong for the peace party. Time will show. Meanwhile, read our Eurepean | correspondence, which we shal! publish from day to day Ou sess t Le PTH F The State Elections—Close Shaving. We have received a great portion of the returns ef the recent elections held in Georgia and Mary- land. Thecharacter of these returns, thus far, shows that these elections do not materially differ in thesr results and in, their effect upon the public mind, from the elections heretofore held in otheT States. All the recent State elections plainly de- monstrate the fact that the Presidential contest in November will be one of the nicest and closest which ever took place in this country. The full returns from Georgia and Maryland will not, pro- bably, vary the general result already reveived, mor will the elections to be held in Pennsylvania and Ohio next week, alter the complexion of the approaching interesting contest Four weeks and three days only are now before the country, previous to entering upon the Presi- dential election itself. That eventful day,on which hangs the most important interests connected with the progress and destiny of this country, is there- fore, we may say staring us now in the face. Who willbe the successful candidate? Who has the best chances of suecess? Whose position is strongest before the people’ Is it General Cass or General Taylor, or Mr. Van Buren? These are questions which occupy the whole country, and which wall be determined in a brief space of time. In May, 1846, immediately on the back of re- eeiving the news of the first action on the Rio Grande, we put forward, in anticipation of every | other journal in the country, the name of General Taylor as candidate for the Presidency, and as a man that would command more popularity than | any other single individual then standing before the public eye. For a year afterwards that popularity increased, until both parties gave signs ef taking him wp as their special favonte The politicians of the two organized factions. how and, we fear, a much greater stock of tact than the present manager ever possessed. Already we have heard of serious émeutes of the most laughable character, taking place petween him and his troupe. These amiable and etherial children of song require to be treated with great tenderness of touch and delicacy of approach. They are no; common working vocalists of a night, grinding ovt so much sound for a dollar, and to be treated like common day laborers. We will wait, how- ever, to hear of further movements before coming to a final opimon as to the progpecte of success.— It is very evident, even so far, that Manager Fry hae enlarged his trouje by engaging an immense quantity of vocalists of all kinds, end thus has almost made the same mistake which the old management of Sanguirico did a year ago. Opera companies must be conducted with eeono- my, in order to enable the manager to meet all his financial engagements with hie artists, from the highest to the lowest. Let Mr. Fry, however have afair chance to fry his fish according to hig own recipe. LaTER FROM w Granapa.—By the arrival of the bark Mara, from Santa Marta, we are in possession of files of La Gacesa Mercantli, of that place, upto the 30th August. The Mara, however: sailed some me after that date. The most pro- minent subject in these files, 1s the progress of the Presidential election now going on in New Gra- | nada. General I ie seems to be the favorite | candidate, as out of 1293 votes of the Houses of | Assembly of the Provincee ot Bogota, Tunja, Velez, Pamplona, Mariquita, Nerva, Cauca and Socorro, the General received . His most formidable opponent is Dr. Gori, who received 320- The remaining votes were scattered among five other candidates. The election was not as yet concluded. From all that we can gather from our tiles, everything was going on quietly and prospe- oor in New Granada, and itis to be hoped, that it will long remain so, as the unhappy condition of Venezuela ought to be a lesson to the other repub- | lies to avoid all ervil dissensions. Marine Affairs. Tax Derantone o THe Cacivonsia.—The splemdid ship named after the most important of our territorial ever, endeavored to defeat him among the de. | acquisitions, left port yesterday afternoon, under mocratic classes; but the independent influences operating among the people compelled their con- ventions, committees and meetings to place him before the country as he nowjis. Since'June last, however, the old whig'party has endeavored to mo- | nopolize General Taylor for themselves, and unless @ determined efiort shall be made by the original friends of the gallant hero among the indepen- dent classes of the people who first brought him forward, the usual fate of the whig candidate namely, defeat—will most likely await the hero of | Buena Vista. The speeches and declar made by Mr. Webster, Horace Greeley, Ex-Gov. Seward, and many other orators of the North, in which efforte are made to revive the old exploded doctrines and measures of by-gone days, and to fan the novel and alarming sentiments of the pre- sent day, have tended to affect the previous great popularity of General Taylor in the South, and may lead more materially to defeat his election than any other event which has yet taken place time, therefore, that the original and independent friends ot the general, in all the doubtful States, ehould warmly unite in hie support; for unless | fresh efiorts are now made on his behalf, the chances are that the unuring energy of the demo- cracy inthe South.and their intrigues and dexterity in the North, may contrive to defeat a man whe was so popular among all partiewa year or eighteen | months ago | The contest, as it now stands, 1s one of the most doubtful and incomprehensible which has ever been witnessed within the iaat quarter of a cen- Tras tury. Who can throw a flash of lightning upon | the ieene? Can Mr. Morse! Can F. O. G. Smith, # be receivesa high price, and monopoly of the stock 7 Tue Maniresto or Tue Inisn Dinectory.—The Insh Directory, got up in this city for the pury | of assietirg the revolution in Ireland of | establishing a sound republic in the land ot pota- | toes and poetry, has published its manifesto to the American people, abd a very queer manitesto it an appears to be sesses @ vast quantity of impertant information upon the condition of Ireland and the prbépects of her people; but this information they intend to propriate entirely to themselves, as they have already done the forty thousand dollars collec ted to revolutionize the green isle. But it also appears that this $40,000 does not satisfy them: they want more money, and hold out fresh hopes of success in other efforte. Will Bishop Hughes contribute to their treasury a fresh subscription of $500, to buy a shield, or not? Would he not rather appro- priate such a sum to buy breeches aud potatoes for the poor creatures across the water? Really, Ireland seems more to stand in need of potatoes than politics, in the present day, although bot! are a little affected with the rot. Yet we do not despair of Ireland. We have a high opinion of the capacity of its people for self- government, provided they would unite and keep pace with the spirit of the age, moving in the mareer around them, throughout the continent of | least, should the project rec command of Captain Forbes, for the shores of the Pacific, her future field of action, where it ie expected she will be joined in her course of useful services by two vessels of equal power, now fitting out. She went to sea under the most favorable auspices, well manned | and provisioned for her long and interesting voyage | carrying with her the best wishes of many warm friends of this great and noble enterprise. We have already alluded to the power, capacities, and build of this verrel, and can only add, at present, that the working of her engine, and the speed at- tained on her passage to Sandy Hook, gave the ut- most satiefaction to a mumerous party. consisting of her owners, builders, anda host of naval officers. The machinery is from the works of Stillman, Allen & Co,, of this city, who have spared nothing witbin reason to render it in every feature, powerful end effective: The preject now about to be consummated was set on foot, fostered,and matured by Mr. Aspinwall, of this city; and of al] those yet attempted for the advance- ment of the commercial interests of the country, none have greater or more legitimate claims upon the aid and encouragement of our government and of the public generally, It should be berne in mind that thie is almort an individual enterprise, and only receiving the partial patronage of the government. The under- taking is indeed a great one for # few private citizens | involving ® capital of more than $500,000, which | amount more than doubles itself in the credit it adds | to the importance of the country, In this light, at ve ite just estimate, It remains to be seen whether our citizens will second | the efforts of the spirited originators in this great and Jaudable undertaking, which is pregnant with so many great results, not only to thie continent. but te the world ut large.

Pann Turatax.—Madame Bishop appeared again the Park last evening, and was again received with such unmistakeable evidences of popularity as must have been highly gratifying to her and to the proprie- tors of the house. While we cannot record our testi- mony in favor of the scrap systems, that is, giving de~ tached pieces from several operas, yet we cannot with- bold our unqualified approbation of the manner in which the charming cantatrive performed her part.— She appeared last in two pieces; first, in « scene from Rossini’s favorite ra of the “ Barber of Seville,” in which she introduced “Una Voce Poco Fa,” and afterwards in the concluding scene of * La Sonnambula,”’ in which she carried the audience com- ” Bouquets were tossed upon the atage, rformance was encored with the utmost en- uriasm. The esteem in which Madame B. is held New York audiences, is no longer doubtful; the, will come out in full force whenever it is annow that she is to appear. The dress circle was well fill: d the parts of the house were ‘comedietta of 40 and 50” formed by Mr and Mrs. Gil of the stock company who and the mem! wi bert, were cast in it, asalso the farce ofThe Eaton Boy,”in which Mr. Barret, Mr. Chapman, Miss Rose Telbin, and Mrs. Dyott appeared.

Thi inimitable grace, the unsurpassed agility and the tiatio skill of these admirable dancers, To-night Madame ballet will again be Bowery TuratRe.—The house was filled last even- ing by 4 moet brilliant audience, and the play of the “Iron Chest” was performed with the greatest eclat. Mr. Hamblin, as Sir Edward Mortimer, played most ad- mirably, and the very great favor with which this piece was received on Tuesday last was equally extended to it last night. We have already, on previous occasions, noticed the admirable manner in which Mr. H. is per- forming at present, and have now only to add, that it must be atter of regret to all the patrons of the he will appear this evening for the last ‘as be has certainly been act- in. according praise te Mr. ver, we must not omit mentioning the ad- janner in which he has been st company.

Win Miss Fanny the company, have all, by their excellent acting, added much to the effect of the admirable performances which have been produced of late at the Bowery. Bignora Clocea and Signor Neri have also, by their beautiful dancing, delighted the audience, and es- tablished their reputation as most elegant artists. To-night will be the last night of Mr. Hamblin’s pla: ing, and his benefit. He will appear as Coriolanus, and also a8 Leon, in “Rule « Wife and Have a Wife.” With such » bill, there is no doubt that the hous will be crowded im every part. Buoapway Tueatre —The excitement at this mag- nificent theatre seems to increase nightly with the performances of the celebrated Collins. Last night the whole audience was kept in a continual roar of laughter, from the time he would make his appearance | on the stage until he left ; and itis not strange, for in under the present auspices, or conducted by such | Irih peculiarities and oddities, he has certainly a native conception. The performance commenced with the favorite comedy of * The Irish Atterney ; or, Galway Practice in 1770,” Mr. Collins sppearing as Pierce O'Hara, ready at a moment to try @ cause, ride a race, or anything else. He was peculiarly happy in zonation, in which he sung the song of “Hurrah Chase,” which was reoeived with acclamations of delight. Apart from Mr. C ’s style of acting, he is not surpassed as a vocalist, and in the songs which he sings, there is a sweetness of intonation rarely heard in the sterner sex. The other characters of the pi were admirably cast. and the whole went off with t greatest possible éclat, Mlle Celeste and M. Wiethoff appeared in the “Highland Fling,” which was en- cored, and repeated to the delight of th Then followed the really laughable comedy of “ His Last Lege,” Mr. Collins as O'Callahan. This charac- ter requires creat talent for ite personation, and Mr. C. possesses that necessary. From the time of hia disappointment in obtaining a situation in Birch’s Seminary; through every scene of confusion and plundering, either as doctor, husband, or father, he performed the character in such a style, that the whole house indulged in one spontaneous burst of time it was impossible to hear the actor, and he was obliged to stop until it was partially subsided. In this he sang the song of “ Liquor of Life,” which met with the groatert applause; such, indeed. chat he was obliged to repeat it, though. as he said, “ the ladies committed asin by compelling bim to drink so hard Mr, An- drews most ably sustained the part of Mr. Rivers, and Miss Hildreth that of his sister, Mra.

Go to the Broadway to-night, and you will be perfectly satiefied, even should you suffer some inconvenience from so much mirth, which is sure to be the case. Nationat Tuxarax.—The double attractions of “Esmeralda”? and the “Mysteries and Miseries,” keop this house tull every evening; and amid all the the- atrical excitement of the times, the National not only holds its own, but ie every week making headway. It is now one of the best attended houses in the city, sud as Chanfrau spares no pains to keep his patrons well amused, there is no fear but what it the popularity it has acquired. “Esmeralda” is a beautiful piece, and most splendidly put upon the stage. ‘The scenery is much of it new, and painted expressly for the piece, and the dances and tableaux, | Kel, are all got up in the handsomest style. The “Mys | teries and Miseries”? still runs ite successful career; presenting, as it does, such a truthfal picture of the Inany curious scenes which are daily enacted in our midst, it is not wonderful that our citizens are at- tracted to nee it It is worth a whole theatre fall of imported farces, whose local allusions are all lost on a New York stage, though they are all very fanny and piquant in Li as proved 60 extra successful, we hope our play- wrights will perceive that they need not go so far from home to afford amusement. ‘o-night the same bill as last evening will be repeated. The last piece is the burlesque of “The Lady of the Lions.” Burke's Clod Meddlenot is one of the richest pieces of burlesque acting we bave ever seen, The house will be crowded, we can with safety predict. Bunton's Tuearne.—Thit elegant little theatre, which stands almost in every respect 4n‘the same re- lationship to the Park, Broadway, and Astor that the Haymarket in London does to Drury Covent Garden, and the Italian Opera, keeps on “the even tenor of ite way,” despite the attractions of Dallet, opera, and the legitimate drama, elsewhere. The beure was filled to its utmost expacity last even- ing to witpers for the—we really have lost count of the number of times—the popular drama of “ Dombey and Sen.’ This was announced to be the last time of its performance; but one would judge from so large and farbionable an audience, and from the rapturous demonstrations of applauve which greeted every suc- cessive appearance of the principal performers in the piece, that it wa rather the first representation of this highiy successful drama, Having so frequently and #0 fully expressed onr opinion upon the piece iteelf, and the manner in which the actors sustain their reepective parts, it is unnecessary to vay more than tbat it went off with as brilliant éclat as at any revious presentations, Several selections from the great masters were given im splendid atyle by the orchestra in the course of the evening. Miss Walters again delighted her admirers ‘on the light fantastic toe,” ax did also M. Fredericks. The favorite burletta of the * Woman Hater” was again repeated; and the long and varied bill of fare wound up with * The Cap- ture of Captain Cuttle,’ which. as usual, elicited plause, More novelties are in preparation. night the new farce of “Lobjoit and his Papa” will be presented Ninzo’s, Asron Piscr.—Mr. Macready appeared last evening in the part of (Othello, before almost as large and quite ag fashionable an audience as wel- comed him on his first appearance, on Wednesday evening. He was supported by Miss Wemyss, as Des- demona; Mrs. M. Joni Emilia; Mr. Ryder. us lego, and Mr. Crisp, ae Cassio. We shall frankly atate, in limine, thet we dq mot thipk Othello one of Mr. Ma- éready’s best parts; not that it does not betray deep | and attentive study, nor yet that there is wanting in | the impersonation that apt finish and artistic excel- | lence observable in everything attempted by the em nent tragedian; but that, whether owing to the in- trinsic difficulty and unevenness of the character, or to wn endeavor, on the part of Mr, Macready. to change the |fiatures of the Moor, and to alter and, perhaps, audience. | laughter. perfectly uncontrolable, and really at one | Collins's benefit, and last appearance; and we | will retain | ondon.

Travian Orena in Purcaverrnia.—it appears that Mr ale era, has had an inauspicious commence- ment in Philadelphia, in consequence of the indisposi- tion of the soprano, Signorini Truffi. The comments of the Philadelphia on the subject, are various, and suspicion is evidently entertained that the failure ly originated in those small feuds among the artists that appear to be inseparable from the produc- tion of Itali . As to the real indisposition of re appears to be no doubt. The evening, at Old Drury. ‘Norma’ was splendidly pro- duced, and the chorusses were perfectly drilled, Bene- detti was loudly applauded, and Truffi was greeted with repeated bravos. We regretted that a severe cold er from executing the best passages of the . a8 only she can exeoute them, Mr. Fry will. no doubt, euceeed to the full with his bold and ex- pensive experiment.” ‘The tone of the North -merican would indicate that much disappointment and chagrin were felt at the break down. After dercribing the failure, it says :— “This isan iuauspicious beginning. We sincarely trust Mr, Fry will allow no caprices of overpetted fa- vorites te interfere with the public enjoyment. Any disposition of the kind should be checked instantly by the cancellation of the engagement.” The Ledger, however, speaks of it more goed humor- edly. as follo “Phe Italian Opera, last evening, opened to a full and fashionable audience, and the performance at the opening proved to be highly gratifying; but the indis- porition of one of the principal performers prevented the representation of the entire piece. The audience took the apelogy in very good humor, satisfied that, when the opera gets fairly in operation, there will be a fine treat for them.” How these difficulties must be overcome, time will determine. It is much to be regretted that the open- | ing of the Opera should be so unfortunate in Phila- delphia, where tke people were evidently disposed to appreciate and support it. We see by the papers that Donizetti's opera L’Flisire d’Amore”’ is advertised for thisevening, with Mons. and Mad. Laborde, Du- breul, and Sanquirico, in the principal parts.

Sporting Intellig Races.—Tur Four Mire Day —No weather could have been more propitious for sports of the field than that of yesterday. Nature herself appeared to contri- bute her share without stint, and every thing seemed te vie in welcoming the advent of the great four mile day, as if conscious that something uncommon would occur. The grass, fresh with renewed greenness from the late rains—the trees, with their foliage changed by the early autumnal frosts dying them of many hues affording s striking contrast to the robes of summer— the cool and invigorating air, and the animated ex- pression in every face we met, rendered it » scene and day extremely beautiful. Even the very road horses med to participate in the general hilarity and ani- mation, and as they dashed along apparently made unusual efforts to outdo each other, and be first upon the ground. Great preparations bad been made in all quarters for the occasion, and at an early hour everything that bore resemb! toa vehicle, was The ferries jo much crowded that it was with con- siderable diffieulty that a passage across the river could be effected, notwithstanding the greatest order and de- corum prevailed. The roads were all that could be wished—very good indeed—the recent rains having laid the dust, He Te moved every annoyance from that source. Wherever the eye glanced, might be seen horses and vehicles in- numerable; while hundreds of pedestrians, all anxious to reach the groundin time, gave additional interest to the scene, and rendered it truly enlivening A few minutes before two o'clock, the sound of the bugle was heard. summoning the racers to the course, and in a short time afterwards, they were brought on the track. The appesrance of Fashion gave universal satisfaction, which inspired her backers with a new stimulus, and they posted their money, apparently forgetful of ite value, at 100 to 70 on her, against the field. Thousands of dollars were staked Bostona was beautiful. and her very walk, so gracefully bouy- ant and elastic. seemed to bespeak mischief. Free Trade wes third in the string; a noble looking norse, with tl marks of speed prominently devel- oped at every point He was known to be av rapid runner. but his lasting qualities were yet to be tested The judges then took their places in the stand, the jockeys were weighed and given the usual instructions, a roll of the drum was heard, and the process of saddling and mounting quickly attend- ed to, Jo Laird on Fashion; Mr. Hare's favorite piece of ebony, Isaac, on Bostona, and on Free Trade was Mr. Green's boy, a shade darker than tbe horse itself.

As they caine up the second time, ped was given on the ram, and ay they bounded, Fashion next the pole, Bostona in the middie, and Free Trade outside. Bosto the lead round the turn, Fashion and Free Trade nd side and well up. At the quarter pole, the last named shot away from Fashion, leaving her a couple of lengths Down the back stretch they all ran nd with much style, ease and action, Free ‘rade particularly so; and at the half mile pole, he went up and passed Hostona—time 57 seconds—and round the lower turn opened a gap between himself and the grey mare of some three lengths or more, which he held up the home stretch, passing the stand a tremendous rate of speed in 1:51%. Bostona out a length in front of Fashion, Isaac keeping an eye on her, regardlers of the speed of Free Trade. He seemed to know that there was nothing to fear from him. that he could not lorg hold out at the rate he was then going, and that the danger lay in his rear. Round the upper turn, and down the back atretoh, the black horse maintained the same (to him) killing pace, leading four or five lengths; while Bostona was kept well in hand; and Fashion, although she seemed to la- bor much, lay close up to Bostona, ‘They ran thus unti within a few yarde of the stand, when Fashion made @ dash for the second place inthe line, which seemed to startle Bostona, and she broke off at a more rapid rate, Seeing this, Mr. Hare shouted to Isaac to “hold her hard, and go steady.” It was little use, how- ever; the grey mare would not allow Fashion to reach her quorter, The time of the second mile was 1:53, making the two miles 3:47. Round the upper tarn of the third mile, the black horse. began to fall off; and onthe back stretch, Isaac. recing that he began to tangle, wade a sudden dash at bi, passing him in an instant, leaving Fashion four or five lengths behind Fashion then made a run to recover the piace she had previously held with thy grey mare; butit time before she succeeded.

It was announced early this morning that the steam- Ship Cambria, from Liverpool, with four days later in- telligence from that port, and three days later from London, bad arrived at Boston, and that the news was in the course of being telegraphed to this city. Thi® put a stop to all speculative operations, and every one was anxiously waiting the appearance of the Eztra Herald, At about one o’elock it was issued, and the na- ture of the European advices waa soon known in every section of the city. The news does not amount to much, Everything connected with political matters on the oth= er ride, isin a state of great uncertainty. The probability of any permanently peaceable settlement was by no means favorable, and another bloody revolution, or even a general war, may break out any moment. For- tunately for us, three thousand miles of the deep blue ocean rolls between this country and the tottering go. Yernments of Europe, and although for » time our trade may be injuriously affected, wa shall not long be inconvenienced even in that way.

It will compel us to turn our atten- tion more within ourselver. and give an impetus to every branch of domestic industry. Cotton, corn, and consols had experienced nochange in the Liverpool aud London markets, and trade in the manufacturing districts was very inactive.
