No sooner had the community come to the con- elasion that the difficulty with France, growing out of the bitter correspondenee between Mr. Poussin, the French Minister, and Mr. Claytoa, the American Secretary of State, was nothing at all, and that, notwithstanding all that had been said by Mr. Clayton’s chief organ, and his news- papers in general, it was nothing more or less than a humbug, the community is again startled by the apnouncement that a sharp correspondence had recently taken place between Mr. Crampton, the Britich chargé, at Washington, and the American government, ia relation to the pretensions put forth by the former government, oa Nicaragua. Our readers are no doubt aware that the govern- ment of Nicaragua granged certain privileges toa eompony of American citizens, for the purpose of enabling them to unite the Atlantic and Pacific oceansat that point. This grant has been declared anvelid by the British government, who, through their consul in this city, a short time since, offi- eially informed the gentlemen of the company re- ferred to, that the British government repudiated, and would not acknowledge the grant, on the greund that it-conferred privileges whieh the gov- ernment of Nicaragua did nos -pessess, and which interfered with the rights of His Majesty, the Kiog of Morquito, which rights, and whose tern- tory, the Britieh government had guaranteed to that evgust sovereign. The American government and the American people have not been idle spectators of the doings @f the British government in Nicaragua. They have closely watched the intrigues of that power for eflecting control over that part of Nicaragua, for obtaining 2 foothold there, and the means and devices which it has resorted to fer the purpose of efleeting its object. The American government has been called upon to interfere, and protest against those proceedings, from time to time, but we believe it took no ection in the matter until it anecmed a form which admitted of no mistake. When the official communication of the British consul in New York appeared, the question as- eumed sueb » form thet 1t could not be overlooked. Not only was the doctrine laid down by Mr. Mai on (and aseerted from his presidency to the pi eent time) inveded, but the rights aud privileges of American zeas were assuiled. Zhen it was that the snbject was taken ia hand by the Ameri- ean government, and the correspondeace between the American Secretary of State and Mr. Cramp- ton, the Britith charge at Washiagton, com- tnenced. From what we have learned, the views ef thoee functionaries clash—the exclusive pre- tensions which the British goverameet have as- eerted in Nicaragua are maintained by its charge, no doubt under the advice of his governmeat, | while they are denied by the American govern- ment, as they ought to be. The Britieh-wish to eontrol the only poiat at which a water vommani- @ution, destined to become the highway of the world, can be establiohed, and their claim is not seeoguined by the American government. Sueh is the present condition of thia matter, whieh is infinitely more important, in all its bear- inge, than the controversy between Mr. Clayton and Mr.. Poussin respecting a point of etiquette, out ef which the cabinet at Washington endeavored to meke agreat noe eencerned, we shall support the administration with all our force and influence, if they take the right posion ageinet Briush pretensions.

It is a notorious fact that the whole system as it mow existe, isthe laughing stock of the world. When empires are tottering, and thrones are crumbling to pieces, in every part of the globe, it certainly behooves this nation to have such representatives abroad as will do eredit to the republic whose glorious example the nations everywhere are endeavoring to imitate ; and to have men in every foreign port where a consul is required, who is something more than the mere unsalaried agent of people who come trading to that port. ‘We have many good men abroad as consuls ; but the great majority are foreigners; and all of them, (with but few exceptions) are obliged to sustain themselves and the dignity of the flag of the preat nation they represent on fees, which in nine cases out of ten, would not pay for their cigars and tobacco. Some of them receive no fees at all. For instance, Buenos Ayres has been blockaded for five or six years—and the consul, Mr. Graham, hos resided there constantly, al- though five American vessels have not visited there during that peried. Fortunately for him, and for thoze friends who take an interest in his welfare, the price of “jerked beef” is only a cent a pound, and he has not yet starved. We hope General Taylor will examine this subject and give it the deliberate attention its importance demands at his hands. Give us a new sys tem. Select a eertain number of the important consulates, and give to the consuls liberal salaries, and make it a law that they shall engage in no other occupation, As for the lesser ports, let there be commercial agents or vice consulates with no ealaries, but with the privilege of making all the money they can. Such an arrangement wowkd satisfy the mer- eantile community, and best comport with the dig- nity and character of the only democratie republie on the face of this beautiful earth. Mr. Crayton anp THe Newsearrr Press.— We believe it is universally acknowledgéd, that the office of Secretary of State of the United States, is a very important and dignified one. No person will dispute this, and the American people would be very sorry to seeit degraded in any way. We believe, however, that it is degraded by the present incumbent, Mr. John M. Clayton. It 1s very well known, that Mr. Clayton hasan interest in a certain newspaper—that he loaned the North American, published in Philadelphia, the sum of thirty thousand dellars, for which he took as secu- rity, a mortgage or note of the same amounton that concern. In accordance with his views ot social economy, Mr. Clayton has degraded the office of Secretary of State, by making it a penny-a-lining shop for the paper in which he is interested; and | under the instinct of self-interest, has, on several occasions, given to the journalin which he has a pecuniary interest, inteliigence of a national and important character, which, although it is com- mon property, and belonging to the country at large, he has withheld from all other journals. We consider this conduct as highly censurable in the Secretary of State. Itis a degradation to the office which he holds, to make it an appurte- nance of any newspaper, and most of all of a jour. nalin which he is interested as mortgagee, and thus promoting the interests of it by penny-a-lining for it in the office of the Secretary of State. It is the firet time in the history of the couatry that that office has been used in such a way, and we hope it wiil be the last. We look upon all the in- telligence which the government possesses as na- onal property; and if it is consistent with the in- terests of the country to make it public, it should | not be given to one journal only, and that journal | one in which the Secretary of State is personally interested. ILLixors Pourrics—Juper Laexse.—The Gover- nor of Ilinois has issued a proclamation, convening an extra session of the State legislature on the 221 | day of October. Among other objects ified for the call, is the election of a United States Senator, | | to fill the vacancy occasioned by the expiration of | the term of service of Judge Breese. At the last seesion the legislature elected General Shields to suceved the Judge; but the United States Senate | declared the election void, the General not having been the constitutional term a citizen of the Uaited | States, on the day of his qualification, The legis- | | lature not meeting regularly again till 1850, aad the | Governor doubting his power to fill the vacancy, has called the extra session, in part, for that ob- ject. | Itwas the gallantry of General Shields i the | | Mexican war that @used his election m 1818, over | Judge Breese, who had acquired a well deserved | popularity for his ability and mdustry in the Senate. In the correspondence concerning that election, | from his dignified course, his candor, and frank- news towards his opponents, Judge Breese con- | firmed the regard of hie friends, and even the re- | | speet of hie enemies, ‘The State of Illinois has | | never had a more farhful or industrious maa in the Senate than Sydney Breese; and without assuming to be great, he has exhibited abilities, enabling him to cope with the wisest heads of the body. He has | been particularly useful to the West, as chairman | on publie lands; and trom his knowledge of all that | relates to the administration of the public domain, he isjuet the man thet Illinois will want to repre- rent her peculiar interests on that eubject in the United States Senate. He hes been tried, and proved to be efficient and usefal; and his exem- y habits insure him against eny negligeace in lie public duties.

The ferry to Atlantic street, instead of stopping as hitherto, at 124 o'clock, will run all night, every half hour. Last night was the first night of the change.

We ‘would bet a doller that the interest of the eompany, more than the convenienes of passengers. is the motive of this concession. There is another concession which we have advised. and which would equally combine their interest with indulgence to the public. It is to extend the time of the Hamilton avenue ferry till 12 o'clock. ‘To stop the boat every night at 9 o'clock, is not only inconvenient to paesengers but highly injuri- ous tothe ferry Every one says it ought to run at leart foranother hour; but we think it would be to the vantage of the company, as it certainly would be agreeable to their eystomers. to extend the time till 12 o'clock. We trust this reform will be soon conceded, We are aware that the ferry was constructed for the eonvenierce of the Atlantic Dock Company, that they erected the slip at the Brooklyn side at their own ex- peuse, and that they ere bound to make good any loss resulting to the ferry eompany, should this braneh not pay. It is, however, paying well, and @ littls more liberality to the public would make it pay better. ‘There are many commuters who complain that, though their tickets are for the Fulton street ferry, and the South ferries, and though at first they were permitted to pare on this ticket over the Hamilton avenue ferry, they have been ior some time past denied this right, though no portion of their money hes been returned. We buve heard that some of the commuters intend to institute legal proceedings to resover it.

Government stocke have, for sometime past, been steadily falling off, and every arrival from Europe brings intelligenee of a ehar- acter calculated to depress them. Of all good, sound, dividend-paying securities, there are none s0 likely to be affeeted by the position our government has assumed relative to our foreign affairs, as United States stocks, Not that the actual value of these securities will be af- fected in the slightest degree, but the influence such @ state of things maturally would have on foreign hold, ers, would be of the most unfayorable nature, and we have no doubt bat that considerable amounts Will be returned to this eeuntry for disposal, The effest of this must be a farther depreciation in prices, It is full time the government of the United States disposed of this question of foreign in- terfere in the affairs of the governments of this continent A great deal has been said and written relatiye to the efforts made by England, and other European powers, to obtain foothold in the republics of South America, nominally for com: mercial purpores; but very little has heretofore been done, we find Great Britain leaving no stone un- turned, towards the accomplishment of the objeet she has in view. The revolutions which have taken place in Europe within thé past year, have resulted in rivet- ing the chains of despotism more closely, and with greater strength. Every epark of republicanism has | be xtinguished, and there is nothing to hope for- ‘The influence and e xample of this country bave beom 80 great in opening the eyes of the oppress:d millions of Europe to their true condition, that we have not the slightest doubt every effort will be made, not only to | check the circulation of republican prineiples through- out the continent, but to dopreciate the character of the United States in every by such movements as. have recently been made by France; and any little act of neglect and insult which can be adopted,without lending te a rupture, will doubtless be resorted to. We have no ubt it would be very satisfactory to the monarchical governments of Europe to cease all diplomatie inter= courte with this country, or adopt any other moasure leulated to destroy our influence and character abroad. Every effort will be mado to prevent the spread of repubticanier in Europe ; and there is nothing caloulated to keep the fecling alive amoug the massee #0 much as the intercourse going on with this country.
