Now that the remains of the late venerable old General have been consig ied to the tomb, the poli- ticians at Washington, and elsewhere, will give Joose to all their arts and iatrigues, and will en- deavor to shape and form the new adm‘nistration, which practically commences this week, under the @vidence of Mr. Fillmore, of Batfelo. Rumors, surmises, lists of plans of government, and terms of compromise, have run the round of the press from the time the last breath left the body of Gen. ‘Taylor to the present. Action must now com- mence, and the action of the new President in the present extraordipary crisis in which the country is placed, will be watched, scanned, sifted, and dissected in the most approved manner, by the whole newspaper press throughout the country. ‘The first and most important matter which must come before the new President, is the selection of acabinet. That, however, must give way ia its importance and details to the plan of compromise, which must be adopted in some shape or other, in order to reconcile the differences which have been growing to a head between the North and the South for a few years past, and which may involve the country in the greatest trouble, if any further delay takes place in the arrangement of that diffi- culty. The genere! impression in Washingten, and throughout the country, and principally in the State where Mr. Fillmore is best knowa, is that the new President will incline in favor of the com. promise now before the Senate, which is supported by Mr. Clay, or some modification of the same general measure, which may be concurred in and brought forward by Mr. Clay and other distinguished statesmen in both houses of Congress, who have heretofore been identified with that policy. To the settlement of this great and leading question, there will be found two op- posing elements among the politicians of the coun- try—the one coming from the North, and the other from the South. The abolitionists of the North, and all who favor their policy from various mo- tives, some personal and some political, will en- deavor to obstruct the action of Mr. Fillmore, and intimidate him from pursuing any such course as aunion with Mr. Clay and other distinguished statesmen, in Congress, in the adjustment of the present difficulty. From the South, a similar op- position may be expected; but coming from an en- tirely different motive. The Southern statesmen, Who adopted the principles of the Nashville Con- vention, are supposed to regard the position, the principles, the views, and the probable policy of Mr. Fillmore, with anything but favor or ree pect. Heretofore, the career of Mr. Filjmore has been so identified and blended with that of Wm. M. Seward, and the ultras in this State, that tew politiciens in the South will discriminate between the different stripes which chamacterise the policy of each of those men. It ought to be a recommen- dation of Mr. Fillmore, in the estimation ot the South, that the principal hostility and the only show of enmity which has been yet indicated to- wards Mr. Fillmore comes from the abolition por- tion of the whig party in this State, which has been heretofore marshaled and commanded by Wm. H. Seward and Thurlow Weed. These men and their organs have uleady commenced to threaten and denounce in advence, apperently as- suming the ultra ground of ebolition in all its ex- tent, although really and truly they hide under that the confirmation of the appointments in U State, which are now hung up in the Senate, We really hope that the South, and their friends in Washington and beyond the Potomac, will as- sume no rash ground in oppo ition to the adminis- ration of Mr. Fillmore, until he shall have reveal- ed his opinions, and see that his_course of policy ie entirely opposed and detrimental to their inter- ests. We have more confidence in Mr. Fillmore than we had even ia Gen. Taylor, with the rotten and corrupt advisers who unfortunately had his eonfidence. The belief gethers strength; and it ought to be a recommendation to Gen. Taylor that the ultre-abolitionists, in this State, have al- ready opened the war on his adimipistration before he hos had time toselect a cabinet or lay down the programme of his policy. Let the Southern statesmen of all parties wait patiently until we can wee cleerly what the policy of the new adminietra- tion will be. its Tae Nicanacva Teeaty.—This treaty is re- eciving strenge interpretations on both sides of the Atlantic. Some interpret it so es to efface all claims which the British goverament insisted on im relation tothe Mosquito territory and the Belize; others, that it hes silently sanctioned those claims, and that, under the provisions of the treaty, the United Sta'es government has acquiesced in the unfounded claims of Lord Palmerston. From the difiereat interpretations that are put upon it on both sides of the water, we begin to think that it amounts to nothing at oll—that it is a mere bru- tum fulmn—a wullity thet means nothing, and ean lead to no practical result. Indeed, we are beginning to believe thet the only treaty of any Practical utility, connected with this subjest, is that now before the Seaote, which was negotiated by Mr. Squier, a treaty which positively and point- edly gives the recognition of the United States to all the Mosquito territory ae belonging to the State of Nicaragua, thus effectually disposing of Lord Palmerston’s pretensions to be the protector of ony drunken Indian which he may choose te Pick up for any politigal purpose. £ tion or County Jonge next rant.—In the min We are to have an election of a judge for this county. The salary of the fortunate man will be thirty-five thousand dotlara, and somebody will have that pretty income. About forty candidates are in a state of exciting hope, wbout the place, and there will be a ctruggle for it. Litherto, ander the new code, there has been too little eare exer- cised with regard to the setion of judges. Re- form in thie point is absolutely demanded. Men of more elevated stamp are wanted ia our courts. They should be discreet, sensible, learned men— well versed in the morality of Jaw, and should rise euyerior to the petty circumstances which coatinu- ally surrounded them. The morality of law is Practiced Wish lese attention now than it wae in the day of Creero, and even the letter of the code is not heeded. Wi the pest year, some very eurious decisions have beea made ia our courts, whieh ex. emplify the nee ssity of @ more just appreciation of Jaw and of charseter in our judges, as wellasa more jealous watebfeinees on the part of the peo- ple. It is to be hoped tha, the next elcotion will be the commencement of a r./orm Oncaxs oy tne New Apministration.—Some ofthe fickle, obscure, and broken down editors in the metropolis, and in various places throughout the country, are giving out in more ways than one. They have given out, within a few days, that we desire to be the organ of the administration—that we wish to yield all that we have toiled for, in consideration ofa mess of pottage. They have come to this conclusion from the fact that we are in ad- vance of all other newspapers in publishing the news from Washingtos—which we always are, under all administrations. It is very evident that these wiseacres do not understand the position of the press, and, more particularly, the nature and usefulness of the inde- pendent press in this country. There are about three thousand newspapers in the United States ; and these are always, more or less, the organs of the people, of politicians, of the government, and of public opinion. The independent press is the more useful classof newspapers, and at the head of jt We are contented to stand. We are always the organ of the government awd of public opinion, be- cause we are always first with the news, whether of a domestic or of a foreign character. We desire ‘to be nothing more or less. We want nothing of any administration. ‘What we want we can always take, without fear or favor. The public know our facilities, our enterprise, our liberality ; and to our bureau comes in, from every part of the world, the earliest mews, as the natural result of our valuable position. Our immense circulation, far beyond that of any newspaper on this continent, is the record of that power which we possess, in bebalf ef the public mind and popular opinien. The daet that we have added, within the last year, full ten thousand copies to our daily circulation, over eur former immense issue, shows that we do no collect news in vain. Therefore, all this talk abou our wishing to be the organ of an administration is extremely idle, particularly as we always, from our unbounded practical exertion, are first in the field-with all government as well as other intel- ligence. ‘We think any sensible man will perceive that we are and must be, with the rest of the independent press, identified with the administration as its organ. It cannot be otherwise. The public sup- port us very cordially, heartily and enthusiasticelly, and, without any other assistance, we can afford to support any administration, or to expose their follies, according to circumstances. Some of those petty fellows, who live on government advertise- ments and are dogging the steps of President Fillmore’s friends from one end of the city to the other, may talk about our wishing to be an organ of the administration, to cloak their own habitual thoughts ; but everybody ought toJknow that we neither seek, need, or desire to be anything less than we are—an independent journalist. FAsHioNABLE PROMENADES AND DRIVES IN THE Me- ‘PROPOLIs.—Our city is sadly deficient in fashionable promenades and drives, so that in the warm seasons the metropolis is scarcely endurable. There are no lungs to the island. It is made up entirely of veins and arteries. The Battery, Washington Pa- rade Ground, the Park, Union Square, and a few small green spots in the arid desert of houses and streets, are all the places where fresh air can be obtained. These are only fit for pedestrians. We have nothing on the same scale of magnificence that marks European cities, such as Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens in London, the Champs Elyseds of Paris, the Vauxhall of Berlin, the Cor- so of Milan, or the beautifully spacious drives of Berlin and Vienna. Hyde Park, in London, would be a site for a large city. It has a wide carriage drive, about four miles in circumference, and is Worth more to the metropolis than the gold which it would bring if sold for house lots. It is the joy of the invalid, the delight of the people, and the charming retreat of the lovers of fashionable life. In New York we have nothing that can compare With it, and must despair of ever having an apology fora Hyke Park on this island. We have heard, buwever, with pleasuse, that to supply this great want Mr. J. C. Stevens proposes to make the Elysian Fields, at Hobokea, answer the purpoce. A splendid gravel drive isto be made through the Flelds of Hoboken, passing between the trees, and around the shore, by the house of the yacht club to some distance beyond. This will be a great treat. It will be, in fact, the only fashionable drive near New York. The swearing, drinking, silly boors have spoiled the Bloomingdale road and the Third avenve—destroyed all enjoy- ment on those outlets; and those who are republi- all and not fora few who choose to maintain a savege rule over them, will be gratified at this enterprise on the part of Mr. Stevens. Hoboken is a beautiful spot fer retirement, and is much en- joyed, particularly by foreigners, whose quiet, re- spectable and respectful behavior contrasts favora- bly with that of some who think an hour’s liberty should be turned into licentiousness and depraved lawleesness. More than fifteen thousand persons visit Hoboken every fine Sunday, and they enjoy the freshness and exhilaration of nature without trespassing on the enjoyment of others. week, and more than twenty thousand persons are expected to visit the Elysian Fields on the occa- sion. We presume they will be of the orderly art of the populati asthe Bloomingdale road id Third avenue will be left entirely to the row- dies of those regions. Goverxwent Printing ar Wasiiveton.—The correspondents of the newspapers at the capital state that Mr. Ritchie has given up his contract for the government printing, in consequence of the low prices paid for the work. The consequence of this, probably, will be, that Congress will have to take the subject up, and dispose of it, as it best can. We con searcely predict what will be done in the premises, but as the topic is important, would urge again io of a practical character, which have before appeared in our columas, and which, if heeded, would forever end those cheats, corruptions, and that system of bribery and extrava- gant waste, which has been so common under the old system. Congress should now adopt a new and compre- hensive plan—one that will turn out the national work, at a fair national expenditure, in a creditable and proper manner. All the printing, at present, is of the most wretched description—disgraceful to the character of the country. A printing depart ment should be established, under a competent chief, paid for his services by a handsome salary, and all state papers and documents should be printed, as independent journals are, with the ut- most despatch, and with all requisite typographical beauty. The country would then have the sta- tistics placed on paper that will last at least one generation. There is no possible reason why Congress, and the several departments, should not be supplied by a federal printing office. A re- sponsible man would save the government thou- sartds of dollars coryet, and the quality of the ublic printing would be better than it has ever ween yet.

The most interesting batch of them are those in this State, the most of whom were selected by the cabinet for the gratifi- cation of Thurlow Weed and Wm. H. Seward, end entirely in opposition to the wishes of Mr. Fillmore. There are probably forty postmasters in various parts of the State, and, perhaps, an equal number of census takers, The Collector of this Port, Mr. Maxwell, the Collector of Buffalo, and the Postmaster of Albany, are all included in this list, and they possess considerable induence in the loeal polities of New York. It is also said that these nominations, and others, will be returned to the new President, in compliment to Mr. Fillmore, in order to allow him to commence his new admi- nistration in @ per manner, so as to give force and eflect to the policy that he may adopt in his government. Lave rrom Havaxa.—The Charleston Courter of the Mth inst., received dates from Havana to the Sch inst., from which we extract the following items : There are but cases of cholera in the city. have hed rain for the last day or two. Nothing decisive has transpired in re; men taken en board the captured vesse! The cholera has made great ravages im the ‘country wherever it has appeared, and has been particulerly fatal in Sagua la Grande, which is be- coming an important district for the production of sugar. ‘Chere are reasons for fearing it may spread ‘during the hot and rainy months of summer. It must, at any rate, interfere with the operations for the next sugar crop, not only on account of the destruction of life among the negroes, but because planters are induced to use particular care with the ‘view of preserving the laborers from danger.— Among other measures the period of labor is diminished, which must tell to some extent upon the production of next season.

The linen mauufacture i; one of the grentert importance, und 1 is @ problem to Serminds why and how it is that th nufacture cotton has made such astonisning progress, while that of line ‘not retroged, almost stationary, facture of this usetul article is of great an- tiquity, it was used extensively by the ancients, loo: belore the article of cotton was ever known or hear. of. Itis @ far superior product to cotton, being more durable and more uniform in its texture, It is also a manufacture peculiarly suitable to the North; employment to men, women aud children, and more ‘valunble employment ‘or them than the cotton mill aflords, inasmuch as it is domestic nature, and much of it 18 carried on by home.
