Whe Forthcoming Anti-Slavery Convention. We Lave made very full arrangements for report- gog, at length, both by telegraph and by mail, the preceedings of the forthcoming anti-slavery con- ‘ventions, which are calculated to exercise a vory eontrolling influenee on the result of the Presiden- tia) election. Tho first of those conventions will be held te-mor- wow, at Worcester, by the anti-slavery party of Maseachusetts, and will be roported in our columns at full length. Another convention—ealled nation- al—will be held at Pittsburg, on the 11th of August; end a third is called te meet at Buffalo, on the Ist ef September—all for the same purpose, of uominad- ing anti-slavery Presidential candidates, and of con- structing a gencral anti-slavery platform, including Kossuth intervention, Land distribution, Maine Liquor law, and such like principles. The election of Scett or Pierce will be determined dy the character, influence, and power, of these conventions. A report of their proceedings will, therefore, be interesting. Extraordinary Grand Jury Proceedings tn ‘Washington—Probable Explosion of the et. We give, elsewhere, a very important telegraphic despatch from Washington, detailing the second arrest of Doctor Gardiner, on a new indictment, growing out of the recent Mexican claims. It comes from: reliable and authentic quarter ; yet we doubt the evidence, thus far disclosed, on which all these 4ndictments have been found against the unfortunate Gardiner himself. We have received such intelligence as leads us to Believe that the origin and cause of all these pro- seedings against Gardiner, arise not so much from his conduct, as from a very remarkable conflict which has been going on for some time between the Becretary of State (Mr. Webster) and the Secre- tary of the Treasury (Mr. Corwin), for the pos- gession of the financial power of the government. The history of this affair is equal to a ro. mance. It is mixed up with Daniel Wobster, Thomas Corwin, the Garay grant, the Hargous @laims, the Voss defaleation, the agency of Edward Curtis, of New York, the fees of agents, the money operations of George Law, the money eperations of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the ‘Treasury—all amounting toa series of financial coups @éat, sometimes called Galphinism, which the President, who is an honest man, is determined to find out and show up before the expiration of his term of office. Mr. Fillmore, we believe, is ‘the principal master-spirit in bringing out these strange developements ; and he does so because he ‘means to leave the White House untarnished by any improper transactions, a: faras his adtinistration is concerned. The result of these investigations, if they go on, may lead to a sudden explosion of the cabinet, and the withdrawal of Messrs. Corwin and Webster— from opposite and different causes—at one and the game time. Poor Gardiner is the scape goat im the Governor's Room, and were v grards of sixty thousand persons. This gix o'clock, they were conveyed in the Albany Boat to that city. During the day the city wore the appearance of mourning, and the shipping in both rivers had their flags half-mast high, and this mark of reepect has been continued now for a week —alonger period than it has ever been for any other man The details of the recent news from Buenos Ayres will be found in the Henap of this morning. It appears that Don Vincent Lopez has been elected, by the influence of Gen. Urquiza, Governor of Bue- mos Ayres for three years. This indicates, on the part of the liberator, a proper appreciation of his \p Potition. The trouble in Montevideo will probably ' goon cease. That republic is too weal to attempt gmuch against public opinion and a large opposing foree.

The speech of Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, im the Heuse of Representatives, on Saturday last, upoo the Presidential. question, was an affair of very serious importance to the prospects ef the whig party. Considering, too, the unfortunate position | of Gen. Scott, in his political relations with W. B. Seward and his allies—considering shat they “* exo- crate and spit upon” the platform ef the Whig Con- vention ; and considering, on the other hand, the well known principies of Mr. Toombs and the Geor- gia Union party, it must be ceneeded that, io this last speech, be simply maintains the consistency of his and their position before the jadgmeat of the try. The Georgia Union party stands upon the platform of the Compromise measures, claiming their fullest recognition, as superior to all other questionsof the doy It admits of no fraternizing, temporizing, or qaibbling, with Northern abolition agitators, what- ever the disguise they may assume. The prime ob- ject of this Georgia party has been, and we presume still is, to separate the national whig party from Seward & Company, or to stand aloof as a distinct and independent party. And such is the positionof Mr. Toombs. The principal objection of Mr. Toombs to General Scott, is that he does not, with amy apparent good will or heartiness, endorse the whig platform. Gen. Pierce accepts the democratic resolutions—not be- cause he was expected to do so—not as a matter of necessity from which there was no escape—but be- eause they command the approbation of his judg- ment. Mr. Graham, the whig candidate for Vice President, also cordially endorses the resolutions of the whig convention. But Gen. Scott briefly says: **T accept the nomination with the resolutions an- nexed.” He expresses no cordiality—no approbation; but gulps them down like a dose of castor oil, and immediately puts in his mouth a lump of sugar or two to take away the disgusting taste of the Com- promise prescription. Mr. Toombs thitiks this is prevaricating—that it is ‘holding the word of pro- mise to the ear” too feebly to be trusted—that such an acceptance means nothing more than the accep- tance of necessity—that it is an extorted confession, of no valid or binding effect. But for the antece- dents of Gen. Scott, his simple acceptance would have been enough. It is notorious, however, that he was the candidate of Seward, Johnston and company—that they worked out his nomination in the convention—that they opposed the adoption of a platform, from the first to the last, and that it co ‘Tus Prestornoy—Tuw Awrr-Suavery Conven- | Jury Session or THB Common Couxor—TaHe rion aT WorcesTen.—To-morrow, tho Anti-Sla- | Heaurs or rue Ciry.—This evening the July very State Convention of Massachusetts meets at | session of the Common Council opens, and it is to be Worcester, to deliberate upon the course of action | hoped that they will promptly take into considera- best adapted to promote the views of the party, in | tion the health of the city, and take measures to reference to the coming Presidential eleetion.

This State convention is called in view of the National Anti-Slavery Convention to be held at Pittsburg on the 11th of August, and no doubt will have an influenee, more or less, upon the final result. An abolition anti-fugitive slave law platform, with several strong planks of Kossuth intervention, in opposition to both the whig and democratic conven- tions and platforms, will, no doubt, be constructed, anda candidate for the Presidency, and another for the Vice Presidency, will be nominated. The most prominent candidates now before the public are John P. Hale, for President, and Cassius M. Clay, for always successful, and perhaps Benjamin F. Butler, of this city, or some other, may be the nominee for importance what candidate is nominated, as it is impossible that he can be victoriousin the struggle, unless, indeed, it be considered a victory not to win, but to prevent from winning, one or other of the two candidates representing the whig and democra- tic parties. It is the platform, therefore, and not the candidate of the anti-slavery faction, that is all important in this crisis—the organization and ac- tion of a third party, that will take away a large are 80 nicely balanced that such a loss weuld be sure to defeat either of them. The leaders of the abolition party, do not them- selves hope to elect a candidate of their own choice; the balance of power—the issues of life and death— opposite will be kicked high in air. This would be a very important triumph to the anti-slavery party, not merely ag an indication of the strength of their the permanency of the two parties who now divide the great mass of the people between them, and was only because of the utter impossibility of nominating General Scott without a platform, that they surrendered to this inflexible sine gua non of the South. Hence the suspicion that attaches to a cold and reluctant ratification of the resolutions by General Scott. His political affiliations required a cheerful endorsement, hearty and emphatic, to re- lieve him of the distrust of Southern men—especi- ally the Union men of Georgia. Itis not, therefore, surprising that Mr. Toombs should be dissatisfied with the letier of acceptance of General Scott, and urge the policy of a separate Union ticket in this Presidential contest. Mr. Toembs appeals to the Union whigs of Bos- ton—‘ the solid men of Boston”’—and of all sections, to unite upon some third candidate for this great contest, in vindication of their principles. Similar suggestions have been made here, through the columns of the Courter and Enquirer, Day Book, and Mirror; but we apprehend that it is now too late to entertain any strong expectation of such a movement. Some recommend a quasi support of the whig nominee, but still to hold in terro- rem over the heads of Greeley and his gang, who ‘spit upon” the whig platform, the sixty thousand whig conservatives of this State. But the timidity and indecision.of the silver grays and the Castle Garden Union Safety Committee, have been abundantly illustrated heretofore. Their threats and blustering amount to little or nothing. In Massachusetts the mutiny seems to be more se- rious among the friends of Mr. Webster. But still— Mr. Fillmore having acquiesced in the nomination, and Mr. Webster being evidently disposed to sur- render, as he did in the case of Gen. Taylor—there is very little change for a separate Union ticket, un- less the Union party of Georgia take the initiative, and put their tieket in the field at their forthcoming State convention. Perhaps they will. In default of any such movement, many of the disaffected whigs, of all sections, will be very apt to fall back upon their neutrality in the coming con- test, if they do not vote the democratic ticket. In this aspect of the case, and in view of that terrible and most extraordinary convention of all the isms, rags, tags, and fag ends of all the crazy factions of the North, to be assembled at Pittsburg on the 11th of August, it is not only absurd to count with cer- tainty upon Scott’s election, but somewhat justifi- able to apprehend his defeat. The speech of Mr. Toombs settles the question for Georgia; but no de- finite idea can be formed of the ae result, short of the Pittsburg convention, 1 4% 4 may control the issue in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, one way or the other. The balance of power is in their hands. When they shall have fairly tuken the field, we shall more clearly define the drift of the battle. SINGULAR SOMERSETS AMONG THE DEMOCRATS.— We understand that a committee of the ‘Tammany Society, in getting up their splendid Fourth-of- July celebration, have received a number of highly im- portant political letters from many of the most dis tinguished leaders of the democracy throughout the Union, for the last twenty years. Among others, we learn that they have received very important letters from Martin Van Buren and John Tyler, late Presidents of the United States—the one of Linden- wald, the other of some other ‘‘ wald,” in Virginia. has made a complete somerset backwards into the ranks of the democratic party, and goes in to the death in favor of Pierce and King, including the platform, principles, and everything connected with the recent Baltimore Democratic Conve: The ex-President enters into a curious and minute justi- fication of his new position, and claims that he pos- eeeses as much friendship for the South, and for the old doctrines of the democrats, as he ever did in most haleyon da: John Tyler, also, is equall, thusiastic in the cause of the new candidates a new platform. These are important letters, embracing important movements and remarkable developements. John Van Buren, the sparkling son, first eame out and re- pudiated the old barnburner policy of 1848. His father, the ox-President, now comes forward, and sanctions the whole of that repudiation. And we suppose the united barnburner interest of this State will follow in t The only portion heretofore connected with the demoers ‘ame direetion who make a special exemption, by rejecting the principles and ‘ying to swallow the candidates, are the enivefling BE yme one of the up-town wards, who war ening Post, aod ite coadjutor, John Cochran, of bea ndidate for the uext Post and of John Cochran were to have any ini bee or Operation 0: he bar pers af New York, the effect would be very disa for Pieroe and Kiog as both the Van Burens, the whole of hi an Buren interest, aud the great buik of the wave come back into the ranks of the noCrald, there seems to be a gros anes Ubat Pierce and King may be able to carry this State agamst all the fuss and feathers that the Seward party cau bring into the gd ygainst them.

Ever since the Common Council dismissed the wardens in the beginning of March, these officers, though they nominally continued to act, under the City Inspector, in the hope that the courts of law would decide in their favor, yet paid comparatively little attention to their duties, because they were not sure of being paid; and the result has proved that if they had exerted themselves ever so much, they would not have received @ dollar in return. But now that the Supreme Court has decided that the Common Council has a right to abolish the wardens, and that they are not entitled to any salary from the time that the resolution Vice President; but the moat prominent are not | of the City government took effeet, the wardens, of course, have retired altogether, and bad as the condition of the city was before, it is now President. It is, however, a matter of very small far worse; and unless the Common Council im- mediately direct that the City Inspector shall ap- point wardens, they will probably have more to an. swer for than they are aware of. It was not the intention of the Legislature to give that body the power of dispensing with wardens al- together—in fact, it never contemplated that they could possibly commit so imprudent an act.

But the city cannot and amalgamate with the barnburner element, and | do without health wardens, and this state of things all the other anti-slavery elements; while in that event the whigs will become the constitutional party. Thus, in either case, the present anti-slavery par- ty has a great game in its hands. It has only ex- isted about ten years. The anti-slavery sentiment ought not to be continued any longer. When the City Inspector was elected by the people, he ran ahead of his ticket, and obtained .a very large vote, thus showing that democrats voted for him, and were satisfied with the manner in which he fulfilled the duties of his office.

But now, it aims at breaking up the whig and democra- tic parties, and forming a new combination with one of them, and thus becoming itself a great par- ty in the country.

New JovaNazs, AND” JocRyatism.—Mr. Samuel Beman, whose wife, we believe, once kept, and still very necessity of the case; and as the public health is not a matter to be trifled with; or be placed fora moment in competition with political considera- tions, it isto be hoped the Common Council wil) yield to common sense, and show an example of Keeps, a very excellent establishment for making magnanimity, for which they will stand high in the up linen for gentlemen, has started a new journal, which he calls the Voice of the People, in which he endeavors to make up opinions—not shirts—for the working people all about town. We know Mr. Be- man very well—he was once in our employment for several years, and is a very ingenious, intellectual man; but we rather think that the linen which his excellent wife makes into shirts, will be much more useful to society, and produce more profit to the fa- mily, than the opinions which he makes up out of the musty philosophy of a bad school, for the use of the working people and artisans of this city. Most of the ideas he puts forth are ingeniously worded, but they are not very praetical. Instead, therefore, of predicting that he will make a useful paper, or create a progressing newspaper establishment, we rather think he would succeed more if he were to apply his ingenuity, his talents, and his time tothe building up of a large shirt making establishment, under the management of his wife—an establis which, by the exercise of diligence, geni ekill, might be carried on in such a way ae to reach in its magnitude almost the splendor of Stewart's fancy store, or Beck's emporia™m for young ladies. Weekly newspapers, for the promulgation of musty, exploded, philosophical dogmas, can only create ex- pense and produce embarrassment ; but the making of good shirts, and similar articles, at a small pro- fit, might be made to grow in time to such an extent as to yicld two, ten, twenty, or thirty thousand dollars a year profit. There is more prac- tical sense in that idea than in the establishment of twenty newspapers for the people. The latter is humbug—the former real utility. We would adviae Mrs. Beman to editor useful in his day and generation in a practi- cal way—in making up her accounts and keeping her books. She is a sensible woman, and he is a vision- ary.

Police Intelligence. Riot and Assault upon the Police.—Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morning, information was sent to Capt. Whigam, of the Eighteenth ward police, that a general fight was in operation in the fourth story of a large dwell- ing in Thirty-second street, between Fourth and Lexing- ton avenues. The captain, with a large force of his men, immediately repaired to the place. but had no sooner entered it than the whole party turned upon him and his men, and attacked them with knives. shovels, clubs, pickaxes. &e . and seriously wounded officers Knapp and Cannon, besides injuring others of the police. The riot- ers were, however, finally overpowered. and six of them were captured and taken before Justice Stuart. who locked them up in default of $1,000 baileach. Their names were, James Tolan, Patrick Foy, John Turbot, James Hines, William Foy and Patrick Joy. The wounded officers were taken to the station house, where they were attend- ed by Drs, and Rochester. who dressed their wounds. Officer Canon bad three deep gashes on his heed, and a severe wound in the wrist; he will probably fined to his room for some days. Discharge of Prisoneps by Aldermanic Intervention.—Two men were arrested on Saturday night by Assixtant Capt. Stanford, of the Seventeenth ward police—the former charged with having knocked down and severely injured Mr. alfred J Puckridge, in the public street These men were locked up, but had been in durance vile but a hort time. when Alderman Cornell made his appear- ance at the station house and discharged them to appear before Justice Welch, at 8 o'clock on the following morn- ing. At alate hour on the same night, officer Knowles, of the Fourth ward. arrested two men charged with hav- ing committed @ violent assault on the person of Samuel Fellerman, There men, after being in custody for a while, were discharged by Alderman Smith, of the Ele- venth ward, without being required to appear to answer the churge. ' The same officer discharged another person, whogas arrested by officer Dalton, of the Sixth ward, cliarBed with perpetrating an assault upon Moses Filler- moron. In this case the prisoner wae Te} uired to give his ord to appear before the magistrate at to o’clock on the following morning (yesterday); but he failed to appear at that hour. Violent Assavit—On Saturday night, « disturbance took place at «rum thop on the corner of Orange aud Franklin streets, between two men named Michael Gerachty aud James Thompson, when the former threw o tumbler at his antegonist, which strack him upon the wad, knocking him down; he then jumped upon him, and finally bit ove of his fingers nearly off, The follow then fled, but was captured by Officer McCauley. of the Sixth ward, and taken before Justice Osborne, who locked lim up to auswer for the assault, Charge of Embezzlement.-& wan named John Driscoll was yesterday arrested by officer Patterson. of the lower police court, charged with having embezzled $257 22, the property of his employer, Isaac Cole, a coal merchant.

Previous to the appearance of the fire-eating Bavarian exile at the Bowery, that establishment—with the ca- pacity to hold, at its low prices, five or six hundred dol- lars a night—generally averaged only a hundred and twenty or thirty dollars, The accession of Lola Montes, the brushing up of the boxes, the washing and serubbing of the seats, the purification of the whole house, and the posting up of notices prohibiting the smoking of segars, have produced an entire revolution in the receipts of the house, in the appearance of the company, in the splendor, in the reputation, in the virtue, and in everything con- nected with the Bowery theatre. During the first week of Lola Montes’ engagement. we are credibly informed the receipts have averaged from five to six hundred dollars a night. This is wonderful, considering that the box tickets are sold for twenty-five cents and the pit tickets for a shilling each—the house holding somewhere about ing place, in Kentucky. four thousand persons, During the week, Lola Montes has cleared from a thousand to twelve hundred dollars for her own share of the proceeds, and Hamblin as much, all the expenses besides, ‘This success is singular and unprecedented. How can it be accounted for? Prosperity seems to have blessed the two repentant sinners far beyond their expectations, ‘There is something true in that old maxim, after all, that there is more joy somewhere over one sinner that returns to goodness than over ninety-nine just persona who never committed any sin at all, Both Lola Montes and Tom dyed sinners—but we have the highest authority in philosophy and humbug—contained in the columns of the Tribune and the Times—for stating that both are very wonderfully improved, and are now, in their new position, succeeding admirably in creating a great excitement, and producing fine houses, in the Bowery. Lola Montes continues during the present week to play in the same piece whieh sbe performed last week; but we understand, that in a benefit which she takes on Wednes- day of this week, she intends to bring out an entirely@pew piece, which will make the fur fly. It is called “Lola Montes in New York;" and the principal characters will be Kossuth, the Hungarian exile; Grecley, the squash philovopher; and a number of other editors and distin" guished personages of our city, net forgetting the oyster house critics, This piece is said to be equally lively, brilliant, witty and curious with that of “Lola Montes in Bavaria,”’ but with far more application to scenes and characters in real lite in this city, than even that work possessed in relation toa country in Europe. Our New Mexico Correspondence. Santa Fe, New Mexico, May 28, 1852. The Trade of New Mexico---Necessity of a Collector of Duties at El Paso, §c., &c. The inhabitants of the Far West have always thought their interests neglected by the government at Washing- ton, which has heretofore been almost entirely composed of men selected from that narrow strip of country which lies between the Alleghanies and the seacoast. This is not a jealous suspicion, but a stubborn fact. The great West was filled with delight when it was published to the nation that that most able and excellent man, Edw. Bates, of St. Louis, had been offered the post of Secretary of War. Unfortunately, he did not accept the office—unfor- tunately it was, for the interests of the major part of the United States. A man from the sea board is too apt to confine his thoughts to salt water, and neglect the mighty interests and wants of this extensive region of country. In this letter I wish to let you know how the govern. ment has neglected to giv’ an hour's attention— all it required—to the commercial welfare of this territory. A collector of duties has been long needed at El Pasom the pass through which come all the foreign goods that are imported into New Mexico. El Paso isa considerable town at the southern bound- ary of Mexico, but on the right bank of the Kio Grande, and therefore within the Mexican republic. erous caravans of wagons, {aden with goods from w York, Philadelphia, and St, Louis, annually enter Mexico through that pass, and high duties are invariably collected by the Mexican officials appointed for hep hy pose, On the other hand, very large quantities of Mexi- can goods, und of foreign goods imported into Mexico. are yearly introduced by the eame pass into the territory of New Mexico, These all come entirely free ot duty; and thus the genoral government loses ‘a considerable revenue, and the imports from our States are greatly cur- Thi ‘condition of things operates to the detri- eral revenue, to the injury of the Ameri- can merchants of this territory, and mdirectiy of the merchants of the Eastern cities, from whom we purchase, The trado between this territory and the States is by no means ineignificant, It begun in 1822, by means of | pack youtes; and In 1857 it is supposed that not less than five hundred wagons (all told), heavily laden, entered the territory from the Western frontier of Missouri, The effects cf Yankee energy, thus exerted. have already told marvellously upon these people. It would sur- prise an American traveller, who should enter | the territory, by way of Mexico, to see to what an ex. | tent these people are already Americanized.

OBSERVANCES ON BUNDAY. During all day Sunday. an immense number of per. sons, a great proportion of whom were ladies, visited the City Hall to see the coffin containing the remains Henry Clay, which lay in state in the Governor's Roof. It was one of the metallic patent burial cases, of the shape ofthe human body—the same as#that'in which John C. Calhoun was conveyed to Seuth Carolina. Ona silver plate were inscribed the simple words jn plain letters. It was covered with crape, fringed with silver, and decked with choicest flowers; Dr. Wood, of the Seventh ward, sent a carriage for a wreath of white roses, which were laid on the breast plate ef the toffin- and a profusion of beautiful bouquets, brought by ladies, were thrown on and around the :emains. A dollar piece, given by Washington to the uncle of Senator Crolius, was also laid on the coffin by that gentleman, ‘The people were admitted by the front entrance, paas- ing in single file around the coffin, and then retising in the rear of the building. It was calculated that upwards of sixty thousand persons visited the remains during th day. The entrances to the City Hall and the abors of the Messrs. O'Connor, Chatfield, and Hill, onthe part of the | Governor's Room were guarded by the Washington Grays—the guard of honor appointed by the Common Council. Every gentleman raised his hat as he entered the door of the Governor's Room, and the utmost de- corum was observed. The following note makes a necessary correction :— Invive House, July 4, 1852.

The ob- ject of this arrangement was to prevent a crowd coming around the remains in the morning, and also to prevent the: unseemly clashing of national joy and sorrow at the same. moment. The remains were accompanied to Albany by the Common Council, the Clay Association, and the Washington Grays, and also by the Senatorial committeo, ‘The latter will accompany the remains to their final rest- Of this committee, General Cass. attended church on Sunday morning, in company with his friend, Mr. John Wheeler, of the Union Hotel, at St. Bar- rette lace.
