New York, Monday, July 22, 1850, News from California. ‘The steamship Ohio, from Havana, where she eonnects with the Falcon, from Chagres, may be expected at any moment at this port. She will probably bring two weeks later news from Cali- fornia. Our last advices from San Francisco were of the let ult. ‘The European News by the Atlantic—State of Europe. The magnificent steamship Atlantic arrived at this port yesterday, after making the quickest ran ‘that ever was made between Liverpool and New York. She brought us four days later intelligence from Europe, a synopsis of which we published in yesterday’s paper, and the dettils of which will be found in another part of this day’s Herald. ‘We published, yesterday, the full particulars re- ceived by the America, relative to the important matter which has grown out of the demand of our gevernment for the payment of the debt due to us from Portugal. The arrival of our squadron in the ‘Tagus to enforce the claim, would probably lead te very serious difficulties with that and other European powers, in the event of the refusal of the latter to comply with the terms which are demand- 6d by our government. This, however, we think will not be the case. The justice of our claims will not probably be doubted; and there is reason %0 hope, that the affair may be settled without dis- turbing our friendly relations with any of the pewers of Earope. ‘The English ministry has again been defeated ima the House of Lords, but the fact that it will not retire in consequence of any vote of that house, as Jeng as it is sustained by the Commons, seems to ‘be now placed beyond doubt. Although the cen- sure it has received from the Lords, in regard to itg foreign policy, and its diplomatic quarreis with all the world at a time when it is not prepared to fight aay one, we nevertheless consider its present posi- tion as capable of producing a very beneficial result iim putting down or checking the influence of that aristocratic body which, till now, has acted sueha prominent part in the English Parliament. Ifthe government should receive the unreserved support of the Commons, the consequence now would be @hat the Houre of Lords must be deprived, in a great degree, of its political weight and influence. ‘We are not yet, however, confident of such a re- sult, as we know too well the character ot the men now established in Downing street. Lord Palmer- sten, who may be on the liberal side to-day, will get himself and the liberals into some scrape to- morrow, and tell the latter that he cares nothing about them the day after. He and his colleagues are not capable of becoming the leaders of the Mberal party in England. The peculiar situation, nevertheless, in which the presen! Laglish cabinet ie placed, may force it, if it should remain in office, to adopt a more decided course of policy. ‘The death of Sir Robert Peel, whose loss is mourned over, not only by England, but by all who may be devoted to the cause of commercial reform and liberal government throughout the world, will prodace quite a change in the position of political parties in England. The party which had been headed by the great statesman who has just so ‘wnexpectedly closed) his mortal career, had been united for the time with the protectionists and con- ] servatives, against the present ministry. The op- Position against the latter will, therefore, be weak- ened by the decease of the late premier, as the go- | vernment, on the other hand, wil! be strengthened by it. The extent of the loss of a statesman like Pee}, for, England, cannot, however, probably, at the present moment, be estimated. A very important plan, said to have been started by Russia, at the late diplomatic congress at War- maw, is now being discussed in Europe. It is a pro- Jeet of a union of all the cabinets of the European continent, for the purpose of putting down the revo- ution and of forming an alliance against Magland, which has hitherto refased to come into the views of the reactiousry governments of Eupepe. This beautiful idea, which prevably originated in the head of the Emperer Nicholas himself, has circu- d for some time, in the form of an official ex}usé, addressed to all the ministers of the Czar, in the European papers. If carried out, this plan would hurry on a state of things on the old conti- nent, such as would realize the most visionary ex- péctations of the absolutists of Europe. We should | not be surprised, a8 matters now stand, to see the | affairs of the old world, ere long, assume an en- tively new phase, if the predominance of Russia continues to be exercised as it is at present. ‘The treaty of peace with Denmark has, at last, the members of the new cabinet. They were sent | then a colleague of Mr. Benton in the U.S. Senate, - er ls te sel ot Santa Martha Cabinet at Washington—Sketches of its Members. ‘We published in yesterday’s paper the names of in by President Fillmore on Satuday, and con- firmed by the Senate in executive session.

He, as is well known, isa native of Massa- chusetts, born in 1782, and, consequently, is now tucky, he retired from the Senate, and was elected | Arrival of the AtlanticThe Shortest by a large majority to the executive office he now holds, the term expiring in September, 1852. In con- sequence of the understanding that Mr. Clay was not to be a candidate for President at the election of 1848, Mr. Crittenden, with other leading whigs of Kentucky and other States, became early com- mitted to the support of General Taylor, and teck measures to effect the nomination of the lat- ter, at the Wlug National Convention. Mr. Clay having subsequently changed his mind, and eon- cluding to be a cindidate before the convention, @ bitter feud ensued between Mr. Clay and Mr. Crit- tenden and bis friends. But Mr. Clay did not refuse to vote for Mr. Crittenden as Goveraor, nor did the Governor interpose his influence to prevent the election of Mr. Clay to the United States Senate. Still, we have never heard that the feel- ings of coldness and jealousy of Mr. Clay towaage 4 Mr. Crittenden have ever been removed since thetr rupture, in 1848, But ihe whig party generally, throughout the Union, consider Mr. Crittenden as one of their strong and most talented men, whose ability and-ekill as a stateaman, and pru- 68 years of age. Mr. Webster entered Congressas a member of the House from his native State, in 1813, and represented the State four years; after which, he removed to Boston. In 1823 he waseho- sen representative in Congress from that district of Massachusetts, continuing in that capacity four years. In 1827 he was transferred to the Senate of the United States, and continued in that body fourteen years—viz., until 1841, when he was ap- pointed Secretary of State by President Harrison. Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, being also a member of that cabinet, is again a colleague of Mr. Webster in the new cabinet. After the quarrel of President Tyler with the whig party, in August, 1841, Mr. Webster refused to join his colleagues in the Harrison cabinet, in resign- ing, but continued in Tyler’s cabinet until 1343, when he resigned. His most important act while Secretary of State, was the negotiation with Lord Ashburton, on the part of Great Britain, of the treaty of Washington, in August, 1842, by which the long controverted question of the N. E. Boun- dary was settled. Notwithstanding the dissatisfac- tion of some of the whigs with his course in re- maining in the Tyler cabinet, Mr. Webster was, ia 1845, again elected United States Senator by the Legislature of Massachusetts, in which position he has contigued until the present time—his term of service expiring in March next. It will.thus be seen that Mr. Webster has served in both houses of Congress about twenty-six years, viz., eight years in the House of Representatives, and eigh- teen years in the Senate. The Secretary of the Treasury, Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, is, we believe, about 50 years of age. Rising from humble life, he became distinguished as a lawyer, and was elected a representative to Congress, from the Warren district, in 1831; he continued a member of the House until 1840, when he was chosen Governor of Ohio, in October of that year, by a majority se large as to settle all doubts that Harrison would receive the vote of the State, for President, the following month. Mr. Corwin continued Governor but two years, Wilson Shannon, his democratic predecessor, then suc- ceeding him, in 1842. The whigs having a majo- rity inthe Legislature of Ohio, in- 1845, elected Mr. Corwin United States Senator, to succeed Ben- jamin Tappan, democrat. His term, as Senator, therefore, expires in March next. Mr. Corwin has been long known in Congress as an able debater, and an advocate of the whig measures of policy. In Ohio, he is considered the most able and elo- quent stump orator inthe State. His speeches in Congress, although showing traits of eloquence and talent of a high order, have been considered as wanting in arrangement, and condensation of point and ideas. What his peculiar talents ass financier may be, remains to be seen, but he has always been an advocate of the protective system as ap- plied to a tariff on tusports. James A. Pearce, of Maryland, the Secretary 0° the Lnterior, is also about 50 years ofage. He isa native of Kent county, in that State, and was elected a representative in Congress in 1835, again in 1837 and 1841—thus serving as a member of the House six years. In 1813, he was transferred to the Senate of the United States, and was re-elected at the expiration of his term in 1849—consequeatly, his present term does not expire until 1856. Mr. Pearce is a ready and eloquent debater, and second to but few of the whig Senators in point of talent. Edward Bates, of Missouri, the Secretary of War, is a prominent member of the bar at St. Lou- is. He is, we believe, anative of Virginia, and during the administration of John Quincy Adams, he was brought forward by Hon. David Barton, and other friends of Adams, as a candidate for re- presentative in Congress, to succeed John Seott, ‘There was much dissatisfaction in Missouri at the time with Scott, (who was a friend of Mr. Clay,) in consequence of his having given the vote of Mis- souri to Mr. Adams, in the election of President by the House, in 1825; and thus the singular result occurred of electing a friend of Mr. Adams to pun- ish Mr. Scott for having voted for the former as President, no Jackson or opposition candidate be- ing in the field. Mr. Bates, as amember of Con- gress, supported the administration of Mr. Adams, during the two years he was in the House of Re- presentatives; but, as the Adams party were ia the minority, he had but few opport ies of dis- tinguishing himself. On questions of national po- licy, he was always found among the advocates of internal imprevement and the protective system. Retiring to private life in 1829, Mr. Bates has con- tinued to emjoy @ high reputation in Missouri, but his political friends having been ever since in a minerity in that State, he had been comparatively unknown to the nation, until the meeting of the Western laternal Improvement Convention, at Chi- cago, in July, 1847, of which body Mr. Bates was chosen President. In a speech which he de- livered on taking the chair on that occasion, he exhibited talents of a high order, aad a been concluded, and the ratification of the same was expected to arrive at Berlin within a day er | two ofter the departure of the mails of the Atlantic. | This, however, will not settle the dispute aboat | the Dachies of Schieswig- Holstein, as the treaty is | #o much in favor of Denmark, that the very object for which the wer had been carried on, on the part of Germany, ecoms to have been defeated by the present arrangement. The dissatisfaction, in @onsequence of this treaty, was general throughout Germany, and prepstations to carry on the war | ‘were going on in the Duchies. If the latter should | now refuse to eubmit to the arrangement which has been concluded, as there is every appearance they will, we shall next hear of a forcible inter- | vention on the part of Prussia in the same. Inthe | present state of things, we thall not regard the Da- mish que ws definitely settled comprehensive knowledge eof the wants and capacities of the country, particularly with regard to works of internal improvemeat, which attracted much attention at the time, and, in the opinion of the numerous members of the conven- tion, at once stamped him asa statesman whose services would one day be called for by the aation. Mr. Bates is, probably, over 66 years of age. William A. Graham, Secretary of the Navy, is anativeof North Carolina; may be set dowa at fifty years of age or under, and represented that | State in the United States Senate two years, viz, from 1841 to 1843. In August, 184, he was se- lected Governor of the State, to which office he was re-elected in 1846, retiring at the expiration * second term, in January, 1849. His adminis. tration as Governor was popular, and he is con- | sidered in North Carolina as one of the most tal- Overqures or Grnenat Tavion.—The obse- | quies in honor of General Taylor, whieh were to | have taken place in Brooklyn a few days since, but | which were postponed on account of the severity of | the weather, will be eolempized to-day.

Jon J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, the Attorney is well known te the people of the United States, a8 a statesman who has been long in public life. He is now, we whould think, about sixty years old, and entered Congress as a member of the Senate in 1817, serving then but two yeare, with Isham Talbot for his colleague, From 1819 to 1885 he continued in the practice a his profession, a8 one of the first lawyers of Ken- tucky, residing principally at Frankfort, and occa- sionally representing his couuty in the State Legis | ture. In 1835 he wae again elected tothe United States Senate, and continued to serve in that body until March, 1841, when he was appointed Attorney General by President Harrieon. On the outbreak of the whigs with Jeha Tyler, in Septem- ber, 1841, Mr. Crittenden resigned with the other members of the ca! inet, except Mr. Webster, and | retired to private life, from which, however, he | Whe soon ca d by the Legislature, to again take Lie reat im the United States Senate, in 1302.

Nathan K. Hall, of New York, is the new Post- master General. His age is about 43, and he was formerly the law partner of Mr. Fillmore, who, of course, knows him well, and doubtless is confident of his capacity to perform the onerous duties of Postmaster General acceptably, and that he will be a good man to keep his eye upon the Seward clique. Mr. Hall was, several years since, Re- corder of the gity of Buffalo, and represented that Congressional district in the Thirtieth Congreses— 1847 to 1849. It may be remarked, by the way, that Buffalo is peculiarly honored at this time, having from her limits the President of the United States, a member of his cabinet, the Minister to ‘New Granada, (Doctor Foote,) and several other of the public officers appuinted by the general government. The formation of this cabinet causes three va- cancies in the Senate, viz., the seats of— Mr. Webster, of Massachusetts; Mr. Pearce, of Maryland; Mr. Corwin, of Ohio. The Governors of States have the power of appointing Senators until the Legislatures meet. The Executives of Massachusetts and Ohio being whigs, will fill the vacancies from their own party, ofcourse. The Governor of Maryland is a demo, crat, and thus the whigs lose a Senator from this session. Sree or THE Mecnanics—PracticaL Sociat- ism aMox@ THE Tattors.—The mechanics and tradesmen of this city have been engaged in the work of adopting measures to procure @ higher rate of remuneration for their labor from their employ- ers or bosses, and in forming societies for their mutual benefit and protection. The undertaking is laudable, and is entitled to commendation and eu;- port. No man or set of men can be found to work for a less rate than they please, or for such a sum as they think their services are worth, or what is, in their estimation, sufficient for the respectable support and maintenance of themselves and fami- lies. They have a@ perfeet mght to combine to- gether for that purpose, and to take such measures as may seem to them the best to attain their ob- jects, provided they do not interfere with the rights of others, or violate the law which is framed for the security and protection of all members of the community, the employer as well as the employed, the rich as well as the poor. For some time the trades people got on very well in making their arrangements to secure a better return for theirlabor. Their proceedings were conducted with order and decorum, and were char- acterized with great practical sense and discretion. In this movement they had the influence of this journal, which was tendered to them without so- licitation, and in almost every instance our support was properly appreciated and thankfully acknow- ledged. The sympathy of the public was also with them. The result was, that in almost every in- stance, the just and reasonable demands of the em- ployed were conceded by the employere, and har- mony and good feeling were restored between them. As long as the mechanics were left to themselve in this matter, they got on very well; but, in an evil hour, the clique of foreign and native social- jsts attached to the Tyrbwne newspaper, the organ of the Fourierites on this side of the Atlantic, in- truded themselves into their meetings, and by dint of effrontery, insinuated themselves to a certain extent in their estimation. We cautioned the me- chanics at the time against what they were allow- ing, and pointed out the consequences which would follow the intermeddling of the socialsts, if they continued to permit it. We told them all the socialists wanted was to get them joined to their standard, so that they could, with their assistance, more openly and with increased force, array labor against o 1, and continue agitating their doc- trines'in this metropolis. . In many instances—indeed, most all—our warn- ing was heeded. The tailors, however, neglected it, and what do we now see? We see them vio- lating the law, by forcibly seizing work from jour- neymen of their erafi, who are compelled, perhaps by nevessity, to labor at lower prices than the others have established as a fixed rate. The first step, thetefore, towards producing anarchy has been taken—the law has bees violated, the rights of per- sons invaded, and the perpetrators committed to prison to answer for their offence. This is the natural consequence of fhe advice and teaching of the socialists; and it might, in the order of thiags, have been expected. Such proceedingscanaot be justified; and although the journeymen tailors will be forced to bear the stigma attached to it, the greater portion of the censure ought to be visited on the clique of socialists, whose advice and doc- trines directly produced it. When will our mechanics and working people learn sense enough to keep aloof from those theo- riste who are striving to produce, in this happy country, the sad and melancholy scenes which are 80 frequently witnessed in France t When will they learn that the socialists have not a sympathy in common with them —that they are endeavering to use the mechanics and working people for theirown end id to promote their own purposes, withou, | caring a fig for the welfare of aay but themselves t ‘We trust that the lesson which is taught by re- | cent proceedings will not be forgotten, and that the mechanics and working people of New York will reflect that they can gain nothing by violating the law; but, on the contrary, that they will lose the support of their real friends and the public, who desire to see them rewarded for their labor. It is gratifying to know, however, that the mischievous effects of the rocialist teachings are confided toa Pas sage on Record, Tt is with great pleasure we teform our readers that the splendid steamship Atlantic, the pioneer of the Collins line, arrived 8% this port at an early hour yesterday morning, having made, by all odds, the shortest passage on record between Liverpool and New York, or between New York and Liver- pool. She left her anchorage at eleven o'clock on the tenth instant, and started her wheels at twelve, and was abreast of her dock at Canal street, at three o’clock yesterday merning; thus making the trip between the two ports inten days and sixteen hours from the time she left her an- chorage, or ten days and fifteen hours from the time of putting her engines in motion—which is quicker by eleven and a half hours in the one case, and ten and a half in the other, than it was ever before made.

Notwithstanding the extreme shortness of thi: remarkable passage, @ glance at the above log will eee that the Atlantic would have made even a quicker trip by several hours, to say the least, if she had been favored by fair winds. It appears that, in accordance with her usual luck, she had a saccession of head winds from the time when she left Liverpool to the hour that she got at her dock, with the exception of five hours. This indisputably shows that she is capable of making the trip ina shorter time even than ten days and fifteen hours. In chronicling this great event, it is not our de- sire to indulge im any boasting. We have always mainiained that the vessels of this new line could compete successfully with any in the world, and that, if through skill, ingenuity, and enterprise, the Americans could excel Europe and the world in sailing vess-le, they could at least rival them ia steamships. The result shows whether we were correct or net. Indeed we were satisfied, before this trip of the Atlantic, that the Collins line were all we represented, viz.: that in point of speed and safety they could mot be excelled; while, as re- garded the ample accommodations which they offer to passengers, and the magnificence of their decorations, they were without a parallel. We shall now give a list of the shortest passages that have been made from Liverpool to New Y: Tt is as follows: THE SHORTEST PASSAGES ON RECORD. and dense fog; at 4, the ‘We learn, then, that of the seven quickest trips that were ever made between Liverpool and New York, the vessels of the Collins line are entitled to three, although they did mot commence running till the twenty-ninth of April of the present year; and that the last trip of the Atlantic was quicker, by ten hours and a half, than the celebrated run of the Europa in 1848, which was made in eleven days and two hours and a half. This is the first time in the histery of ocean steam navigation, that the passege from Liverpoc] to New York has been made inside of eleven days; al! others having occu- pied from two and a half to twenty anda half hours more.

Mintn ann Maxwens at Saratooa.—Our cor- reepondence from Saratoga supplies some infor- mation upon the fashionable movements in that quarter. There may be novelty in the news to some persons; but, having known that the Italian and French dancing masters in the city have been well paid several months past, for inventing, pre- paring, and teaching exclusive dances, as intricate as Hebrew, or the ** pons asinorum” of Euclid, we are not surprised to fiad them brought forward. That fashionable circles should tun themselves into little ballet troupes, for exhibition at public hotels, gratis, is curious enough, nevertheless. It is a epecimen of ambition that has precedents in the daysef the Roman Empire Nero, who was very exclusive and aristocratie, ordered his whole body guard to applaud him when be danced, made mouthe, or fiddled. In imitation of this spirit, there are some very good sort of people reviving this old love of notoriety. No matter how wonderful it may seem, it gives room for eo much mirth that it ought to be encouraged by every hotel keeper who | can afford to open his house for a “limited few"— which means, we believe, a few of limited means, of limited taste, of limited manners, and very limi- ted consideration of the rest of the world. Where republican simplicity and elegance, however, can be supported—where ladies and gentlemen can meet on some social footing of respect towards each other—there will the fashionable and intelli- gent resort.

City Intelligence. THE OBSEQUIES OF GENERAL TAYLOR TO-MORROW— THE GUARD OF HONOR. Considerable excitement has been produced among our military circles, by the fact of the funeral com- ittee of the Commen Council having undertaken to appoint the guard of honor at the funeral procession in honor of General Taylor to-morrow. Much jealousy and discussion are the result, especially as members of the committee belong to the company on whom the favor was conferred. By doing the same thing, and otherwise interfering with the military on the occasion of the funeral of General Worth, they originated a bad feeling, that le en to court martials. By what right 9 assume rer ibility of dividing the command of General Sant |, everybody is at s loss to know.

M. ‘The sales at the second board, yesterday, consisted chiefly of Erie Railroad securities, which closed at full prices. Transactions in all other kinds were light. Operators were inclined to wait for information con- cerning the money market abroad, contained in the- private advices of the steamship America, before ope- rating to any material extent. The Atlantic, whick arrived this morning, with still later foreign news, showed an advance of 3d. im cotton, with some im- provement in corn and wheat, and a good demand for American provisions, We learn from Bating Brothers & Co.'s cireular, that United States securities were dull, while sales were very light, with but little offering. For quota- tions we refer to the circular, in another column. There was a good inquiry for Louisiana Union Bank Bonds, Planter’s Bank Mississippi, and Florids Bonds, but there were none . From a private letter, dated Liverpool, 6th inst , we extract the following:—“According te statements of stock of cotton, the most to be relied on, we have stock of 495,000 bales, of which 322,000 are American, against last year’s stock of 829,000, of whieh 610,000 were American, and the spinners are supposed to hold much less than they did this time lest year. There has been a very active business this week in Manehes. ter, with higher prices both for goods and yarns. “Money continues as plentiful asever. The Bank. returns show about £17,000,000 iu specie. Discounts ure two and « half per cent. per annum, and even low- er for first class paper. Consols are‘sdvancing. The state of political affairs in Europe are encouraging; food plentiful and cheap, with every prospect of an abundant harvest.” We presume, with the above flattering prospects of the English money market, American stocks eannot remain long neglected, as investments, even at present prices, will yield bettar interest than English or other European securitics. The slight reaetion in our. seourities in the London market, bas been eaured by- some parcels being sent thither from theeontinent for fale. The least political disturbence in Europe will again create a demand for our bonds. ‘The advance in cotton, and in corn, and wheat, wil! leaving an unusual accumulation of specie in our banks. ‘The steamship Washington, which sailed yesterday for Southampt nd Bremen, carried out $25,000, chiefly in gold; ten Thaler pieces, which were searce, and some lots of American gold, were added, to make out the amount, ‘The Havre packet of the 20th inst., whieh sailed yos- terday, carried out about $110,000 in specie, consisting chiefly of Mexican dollars and five franc pleses Sterling Exchange was dull yesterday, with but » moderate business doing, at about ten and a ‘quarter. The market was not expected to open till Monday for the Hibernia, to sail the present week from Boston. There was no change in rates for the continent.
