The ‘Stare — News wy ‘the “Haney: tae ane teanving Hise lu the Cotton Market, The syoopsis of news which was received here yesterday, and which will be found in our colamas to-day, does not present any startling point of as- | tonishment, except in cotton vlone, although it posserses sufficient general interest to command the attention of the public, and make the quid nuncs | chatter. The steamer will probably arrive this morning in our own waters, and to-morrow we shallbe able to give full and ample details of the leading points, which are briefly indicated to-day. ‘The first and most important item of news is the excitement and rise in the cotton market of Liver- pool. This is rethera litle variety ia the charae- ter of the intelligence which we have been accus- tomed to receive for the last eighteen months or two years. If we cannot command sudden ex- plosions, red revolutions, the sacking of cities, the movements of contending armies, we can coasole ourselves with the rig in cotton to the enormous exteat of two cents, in the short space of a week or ten days—equal to an imereased value of twenty millions wm the colton crop of this year. We must be satiefied with this startling event, which will create as great aseasation in Wall street, and inthe muiket of New Orleans, as probably one of the Tecent revolutions did among the quid muncs and Fpeculators in the “destiny of the human race.”"— No rise, no revolution, no explosion, seems to mark the covree «fothermarkets. Corn, beef, pork,&e., &c., are as calin and as quiet ia price the red Tepublicans of Germany and Italy are under the glittering menaces of Prussian or Austrian bayo- nets. Nothing else shows signs of life but squash and Fourierism. But what of Russia and Turkey t—of the threatened war between those two powers, in- volving ail Western Europe? We are more and more ratified that no war will take place be- tween Kuseia and Turkey—tnat the whole affur, after lengthening out toa diplomatic correspon- dence, will terminate in plenty of bluster, but no bloodshed. In the present excited condiion of | Western Europe—the feverish state of the masses— neither Ruse, Turkey, France, nor Englaad, dare Venture on a great European war. The commence ment of such a grand game would be the begin- ning of » movement that would end ia arevolution, throughout the entire cootiment, that would sweep | out of every nation all the old ruins of the feudal ages. We are satisfied in our own mnad, that there | will be no war between Russia and Turkey. that down certain. What, then, can we hanga hope upon? Is there any prospect elsewhere in Europe? We think there is. France is still a republic ; the insticution of universal suffrage still exists there. Louis Na- pel finds himself unable to put his legs beyoad the verge of the inclined plain, which, with its train of millions, is taking him and France on the high road to popular and republican government, of a permanent and practicable kind. Red re- publicanism, or democracy, is increasing in the vi rious departments of France, and extends already to seventy of them. Thiers and the reacti it difficult to turn the calm but great move the age. The leading jouroale are beg understand ihe policy of looking to the turure, and | are making arrangenents for another Presidential election.

If he does, he will beat Rabe- lais and Jean Jaques Rousseau, all to pieces. Go ahead. Ble Faswioasie Teavestino.—One of the Sunday | journals, in noveing the fuehionable arrivals at the leading hotels last week, makes a remark of adm ration at the extraordinary crowd which has dis- tonguiehed the present seaton. According to the liet it gives, it appears that the Irving House, among all its rivale, stands at the head of the fashionable hotels in this city, for last week. He might have added that there are more beautiful, secompliehed and elegant families sojourning at that house, than in any ervher house ever opened in Bew k Opere nights, from 50 to 100 visiiers to it are from thie splendid estoblithment Arrains 1s Catironsia —Our advices from Cali- fornia reerived yesterday through Mexico, and by the way of Mobile, are of no sort of consequence, beyond what we have already published.

The two parties have been most industriowsly marshalling their respective forces for the contest, leaving no stone unturned—no trick or humbug untried—caleulated to cheat the honest masses out of their votes. The cempaign has been signally interesting in illustrat- ing the morals of politics, and the polite usages of political warfare; and of some importance to the community, in disclosing the extraordinary amount of raseality that exists amongst us. One would think that all our honest men had gone to Califor- nia, and that nothing but jail-birds and seape-gal- lowees had been left behind. Whigs and demo- crats have expeaded upon each other all the choicest epithets of the Five Points—“liar,” “scoundrel,” “rogue,” “swindler,” “blackguard,” “loafer,” “drunkard,” “cheat,” “poltroon,” “ras- cal,” “bloat,” &e., until they have exhausted the copious vocabulary of Sing Sing and Blackwell's Island in mutual abuse. If the literary taste of the two parties were made the issue of the election, the result would be a tie. But other and more im- portant elements than the slang of the fishwomen, have been at work. Until recently, it has been exceedingly doubtful which party would be suc- cessful in the city and ja the State. It was thought that the whigs, having the advantage of the spoils, would have more money to invest in the purchase of pipe from the Jerseymen and other “outsiders;” but this business of pipe-laying ie, perhaps, on the same level, between the two parties, as their re- the people, and the cffices for which, like the Kil- | kenny eats, they are squabbling. Que fact, however, must be conceded. The whig orators at the Broadway wigwam have comported themrelves more respectubly and decently than the amalgamated elements at ‘Tammany Halil — Never was old Tammany 60 completely under the control of the oratory of the Five Pouuts, as at the | late ratification, The respectable speakers of both divisions, seem, in their mistrust of each | other, to have surrendered the meeting to the | mercy of the Poin The scene was terrible—the whigs were.demolished, root and branch, and 30 powerful was the torrent of condemnation that the very gas lights burned blue. But Tammany Hall does not always decide the election. The old grudge among the leaders of the two factions of the demo- crats is still rankling; but there is no doubt that the masses are well disposed to harmonise ; and if they could bring their forces in a compact body to the polls, there would be no questioa of the result. But this 1s somewhat doubtful; and on the whole, we are disposed to conclude that the chances are in favor of the whigs. A diversion of a few thou- sand votes, in a close contest, decides an election. Between the whigs and democrats, the preseat contest has every appearance of being a close and hand-to-hand fight. But a new and important element has come into the field within the last few days. It will be seen from the report in yesterday’s Herald, that the colored voters of this city have resolved to have a voice in the election, and that they will probably cast their influence in favor of the whigs. It is supposed they can muster from twelve to fifteen hundred votes in the city, and from two to three thousand in the State. In the election of *43 the united vote of hunkers and barnburners exceeded by 18,000, the vote for General Taylor; buat the whole vote of the State was less by 30,000 thaa that of “44. But the last election affords no cri- terion for the present. The slavery question 1s now paramqpnt, and upon that the whigs have cer- tainly a more harmonious footing than the demo- crats. Our free colored population seem to thiak so. They distrust this democratic coalition—they | denounce the creed of Tammany Hall—they see the cat in the meal tab. Mr. Downing, at this colored convention, appears to have led in the pro- ceedings. He is a shrewd, latelligent chap, and | goes the entire figare for free soil, free speech, | free tongue, free breeches, and clean boots. He is a real dignified fellow of the aristocracy of color. | Mr. Guigoon, another leader of the meeting, pro- bably an oyster opener, or whitewasher, or | head-waiter, appears also to be an intelligent | fellow; and there were some others, who, in point of real respectability, would, no doubt, fevorably compare with many of our mice young codfich aristocracy at the Opera House, ia their moustachios and white kid gloves. The colored voters, under those shrewd leadera, may be considered as siding with the whigs, It ts pro- bable that the result will show that the colored | race have some sagacity as politicians and states- men. Bot, altogether, the nature of this election, the | curious elements engaged in it, and the singular | admixture of loeal and national polities in the coa- | test, make the result somewhat perplexing, thoogh | the colored movement gi to the whigs a fair proepect of success, It is but another of those brzarre and grotesque developements of conflicting principles ,which, for the last two years, have so | frequently astonished the world. | | Tne Caner ann tur New Yoru Herarn —F 7 two or three weeks past, the organs of the cabinet here, and in other cities, have been savage upon the New York Herald, on account of our strictures upon the policy of Mr. Clayton, aod some of his colleagues.

Good—very good. This contest will begin as soon as the Collins line of steamers is ready for ac which will be about next epring, We are not afraid, however, of our New York steamboats for we have the best of reasons for beheving that theee steamers, with the improvements lately made by Mr. Montgomery (who is a remarkable genius in his line), will surpass in apeed (and also in other reepects) the steamers now afloat, and will regularly croes the Atlantic in mine or ten daya, between New York and Liverpool.

The contest will be close and spirited, the parties being nearly equally balanced; and the victors, whoever they may be, will net have much to boast of. In this election, it betiooves our citizens to dis crimmate between the city and the State. They ought to vote for no candidates but those in whom they can confide—such men are favorable to an honest and economical administration of the municipal government, and at the same time an ef- ficient one; such men as will, if elected, give us clean streets, and make no corrapt contracts, but preserve the public moneys as if the treasury were their own private property, allowing nothing to be drawn from it without value being received. We have euflered so much during the past year, from the gross corruption, waste and extravagince which have characterized the management of our ma} pa! affairs, by the party at present in power, as to meke 1talmost unnecessary for us to sagyest the necessity of a change. Never, since New York has beenacity, have we had such dirty streets, such cor- rupuon, extravagance and general waste. This is admitted on all hands, and in the strongest and most forcible runner by the whigs themselves, who are keeping back, in violation of the Jaw in the & the assessment roll for the coming year. If they were net afraid that the contents of that document would convict them before the public, of having been uofaubful stewards—of having proved recreant to the peoyle—of having abused the trust reposed shull have been brought from its hiding place, its contents will startle the community. We shall see items for brandy and segars, and eating and drinking of every kind, that will astonish all rea- sonable men, and account for the manner in which the taxes have been increased under their manage- ment of our city efiairs, upwards of half a million ot dollars. It is on this accouut—because, not only of the mal-wdministvation of the party at present in power, but of their corruption and profligacy—that the public have deliberately arrived at the conclu- sion that there must, at all events, and at every hazaid, be a chenge in the city. The men now in possession of the city government must, in the opinion of all sensible and tax-paying citizens, be displuced, or a still farther increase in our taxes. may be expected. It that party be re-elected, the expenses of conducting the city goverament will be swelled to four mihons, by an addition of an- other half millon of dollars over the half million put on this year, Its essential, too, that we should have a change and elect good men, because this is the first elec- tion under the new charter. We should make a good commencement under that instrament, and plnce in power such men as Col, Delavan, who has been nominated as Alderman of the Eighth ward, ond Mr. Van Wyck and Mr. Busteed, as Alderman and Assistant of the Eighteenth, who have the confidence of all parties, and who will conduct our municipal affairs in a proper and economical man- ner. If such men be returned in the election which will take place to-morrow, next year will not witness such corruption and extravagance as we have seen for the last twelve months, to the dis- grace of the city. We shall not have any pesti- lence, or, if we have, we shall not see the wealthy portions of the city cleaned and puri- fied thoroughly, while the streets in the wards oc- cupied by the poor and humble classes are ne- glected, as if a poor man’s life were not worth saving, or his health of preserving, as has been the case this year. Considering, therefore, that so much 1s at issue in the coming election, as far as our municipal go- vernment is concerned, all voters and tax-payers, without distinction of party, ought to discriminate between the city and the State, when they go to the pells to-morrow for the purpose of voting. The whig tax-payer has as much interest in an econo- micel and efficient administration of our municipal affairs as the democratic tax-payer has, and vjce versa. All are equally interested in preserving the public peace, in preventing riots, and obviating the thooting down of our citizens in the pubKe street: all are equally interested in having our thorough- d avenues clean—in preventing the taxes, | | in the toolish project of enlarging the Batiery, and adding to the sickness of the city—ia preventing an increase of our city debt—in preveating corrap- tion of every kind and degree, such as we have Witneseed during the year that is now drawing toa close, under the regime of the whig party, bet them diveriminate, therefore, between tire parties, as to secure a change. The opinion ia nearly unanimous that the party at present in power must be put out, and that we should commence, under the new city charter, with a different party and different men, for heads of departments and Common Council.

The first cause for this is the absence of outside purchasers, aad the se- cond, the apaiety to learn the nature of the next ad- vices from Europe. Another cause for the present state of things in the stock market is, the near ap- proach of the next session of Congress, The probabill- ty that seme important change will be made in our financial and commercial polisy —the probability, at ail events, of the agitation of the leadiog questions affect- ing the most important toterests of the country, keeps things im an uncertain, unsettled and feverish state, ‘The mereantile classes do pot operate with eo much coutidence, aud xpeculators of all Kinds become timid, and preter waiting the developements at Washing- ton, before involving themselves to any greater extent.
