The News, By the arrival of the Collins steamship Aretic | yesterday aftemnoon, wo have four days’ later intel- ligence {rom Europe, the details of which are given sivewhere. By far the most interesting portion of thie news is the glowing description of tho rithness ef the Australian gold mines. Late advices from ‘thai suriferous region state that fresh discoveries ‘were continually being made, and that the great abundance of the precious metal hed caused a ma- terial decline in its value. The excitement in Eng- and in consequence of these astounding accounts, waerstill at thetighest pitch, end the increase of emigration to Australia was perfectly amazing. "Phe gold feverwas raging at Liverpool with more in- tensity, if possible, than it did even in this city on ‘the announcement of the discoveries in California. Every vessel that could be procured was seized at Liverpool, and almost instantly filed with adven- ‘eurers to the mines. By this time there are thou- sands of hardy Britons en roude to seek their fortunes in Australis sands more—many of whom will, doubtless, return Jaden with the fruits of their enterprise, but others will never be able to reap the rich harvests which they are co anxious to procure; and, after dragging ont 2 miserable existence, in want and penury, will de mingled with the d in a land of strangers, without kindred or friend to soothe their parting struggles. Theedvices from France show that Louis Napo- Yeon hes managed to completely obliterate all alarm that bad been created by his recent flare-up with the corps legistatif. Louis sent in a very eoneiliatory and carefully worded mossage on the 28th ult., after the reading of which the corps was adjourned for the session amid cries of ‘ vive le President.” The cousequence of this amicable feeling between the executive and legislative de- partments was a rise in, the price of public securi- ties. Among other items of French policy men- tioned in the Paris papers, we observe that it is in eontemplation to enter into an international con- vention betweon Russia, France, Holland and the United States, to regulate the whale fishery on a mew basis. From Spain we learn that considerable excite- mont and uneasiness had been created by a report tbat another expedition against Cuba had sailed from Chagres, under the command of an American general. What gave rise to this groundless rumor we are unable to say. It, however, had the effect ef checking all further negotiations with the American Minister for the release of the remaining Cuban prisoners, and it was said that the Spanish government had determined to oppose any farther exhibition of clemency. There ig 2 multitudinous amount of interesting matter from various parts of Europe, to which we have not room to specially refer. The main features will be found in the letter of our London correspon- dent. While in this country the crops are beginning to suffer from the long continued drouth, on the other side of the Atlantic they appear to have been more or less injured by immense quantities of rain. In Treland, however, the harvests promised an abun- dant yicld. According to the Liverpool circulars the cotton market was rather tame, and in Manches- ter, goods were dull and prices drooping. Bread- stuffs, on the contrary, had advaneed. Aceording to our despatch from Washington, the | Hon. John P. Kennedy, author of ‘Swallow Barn,” | They will be followed by several thou- | Troubles of the Whig Party. The whig party has become an object of com- up, and fourish, and run to seed, and die. The whig party has substantially run itself oat. Vanquished upon all its great original issues, it has made a merit of necessity, and abandoned them, excepting upon the tariff, where it adopts the lan- guage of Polk’s Kane letter, and contents itself with the very modest request for specific duties in certain cases. It says nothing of minimums and home valuations, those splendid features of the schedules of 1842. Those halcyon days havo gone by. We may also excopta very lexgely modified declaration relating to rivers and harbors—these improvements are to be limited to works ofa na- tional and general character. Excepting these small items, the whig party has no platform of i's own, but has come ever to the democratic ground. Yes, there is one principle yet upon which it widely differs from the democratic party—the principle ef intervention. The domocretic platform is broad enough to take in Cuba, a slice of Mexico, te say nothing of Canada, or European intervention; but the whig pletform, fully endorsed in this particular by General Scott, expressly interdicts American cupidity, sympathy, generosity, or enterprise, from “leaving our own to stand on foreign ground.” This, infact, is the only feature preserved to the whig party of its original identity; and here it stands in the relation of the conservatism of the last cen- tury, when steam power was a chimera, in opposi- tion to ** Young America,” and steam power, as il- lustrated in locomotives and in the Collins ships—the one making a morning excursion of half the length of the land—the other reducing the Atlantic ocean to a mere ferry. Now, there are, perhaps, uot less then three hun- dred thousand voters inthe United States, who sym- pathize directly with the doctrine of intervention, in some or all of its various applications to Europe and the American continent, North, Central, and South America ; but while the adverse party leaves the whole question at least an open question, the whigs have shut down the gates, and entered an ab- | solute interdict upon any excuse ‘against quitting | our own to stand on foreign ground.” This is almost sufficient, of itself, to reduce the whigs to the limits of anative American party. The frrewell speech of Kossuth in this city, his address to the Germans, and the movements of that immense body of our adopted citizens on the intervention question, are destined to prove a serious drawback to the progress of Gen. Scott. But the causes of the most alarming troubles of the whig party lie within its own ranks. For many years past, Seward and his industrious instruments have been instilling into the whig church of the North the most odious doctrines of agrarianism, abo- litionism, and social and political denoralization. It is fiom this prolific source of mischief that the whig perty are now reaping their blighted harvest. Hence the protest of Southern whigs in Congress gainst supporting General Scott. He is the ean- didate of Seward and his clique, and only swallows the compromise from compulsion. Hence the inde- pendent Union movements in Georgia and else- where. In the North, the honest adherents to the peculiar doctrines of Seward, Gerritt Smith, Fred Donglass, and Lucretia Mott, cannot support the nomination of Scott, because he bas knuckled to the South. If itis but a trick, they say he is dis- honest; and if he is in earnest in his en- dorsement, he is still brt a traitor te human freedom. Hence the various movements in the North, for a grand rally of a third party, a third platform, and a third ticket, at the appointed Pittsburg Convention. There are others of the whig faith who believe that upon the broad ground of principle, superior qualifications, and exalted states- | manship, Mr. Webster was unjustly and insultingly | set aside for the mere clap-trap availability of the fife nnd drum; and that he was thus set aside by men who have been among the most brawling dema- gogues against the ‘wholesale butcheries of war,” | and in favor of universal peace; so hostile to the taking of human life that they continue to plead, to this very day, the inhumanity of hanging the most | 2 and otber novels, has been tendered and accepted the post of Secretary of the Navy Now that that office, which bad gme begging for throe weeks, is filled, the next questi nister Lawrence’s place in England? anxious to come home.

The flood-gates of infamy seem to be broken up. Not only the pubic characters of General Pierce and General Scot, the two candi- dates for the Presideney, but thedr private relations, and even their femilies, are rewsacked and searched for seandal by these miserable scullions of party | organs, numbering meny humireds throughout the | ceuntry. x A portion of the democratic press seem, with few exceptions, to pour out their scurrility on the name, repatation, and talents of General Scott, who, whatever may be his other faults, has written his name and history along with the history of his country, and in a way which will never be forgotten in the United States. The abuse uttered on the other side, by the whig press, against General Pierce, the opposing candidate, is without any | example in all previous contests. He is denounced | as a sot, a coward, and a poltroon, by journals pre- tending to the highest character and reputation throughout the land. The first movement in this filthy business origina- ted in this city with a journal of the ‘‘total depravi- ty” species, which has been noted for its advocacy of all sorts of doctrines, nostrums, humbugs, cheats and swindles ever palmed off on a long-suffering community. The New York Tribune was the first ournal which started the story of drunkenness and | ‘cowardice against General Pierce, and now, with crocodile tears, it comes out sneakingly and regrets | its action in that business, while it reiterates the same stories and the same allusions, as if they were still existing and prominent facts in the history of his life. But what can we expect from a journal established on a system so utterly venal as to levy black mail on every humbug, every quack medicine yender, and every quack doctor of the day? Only | read the following epistle, written by its chief editor, in reply to a person who asked for a puff of a parti- | cular medicine :— New Yonx, January 24, 1852. Dear Sir—I have your note of yesterday. ‘The matter of which it treats is so important, that I should not like to risk any intermeddling with it on the strength of a re- porters observation, If the Tribune should speak of it at all, I wort d wish to have i done on the strength of observations made through my own eyes. I shall be out of town most of the ensuing week, but in town on Saturday, again, I have been somewhat prejudiced against you by the extra- Yagance and irreverence of your advertisements ; if I were able to raise the dead, I should not venture to speak inthat style. But you may understand the art of heal- ing far better than’ that of literary composition.

Do you wish te invite me, and pay me to devote my time in the way here indi- cated’ Drop me a line next Friday, and don’t ask me to look into the businces unless you are perfectly sure it will | bear the most thorough scrutiny. | Yours, HORACE GREELEY, Dr, Tatnor Editor Tribune, Here is a system of venality openly avowed, which can only be paralleled by the filthy fulschoods it puts forth on the politics of the day :—‘If the Ti- dune should speak of your medicine at all, it will take time to examine it, aud time to me is money.” If you wish to invite me, pay me for my time and the Tribune for your purposes. A more unblushing and open faced, impudent exposure of venality never was exhibited in the lowest ranks of the pross in any country, than this presents. Yet such is the jourral which starts all those foul ealumnies against one of the candidates for the highest office in this country, and then when it sees its associates in the contest are circulating the poison, it smoothes its venal face, and regrets the course that things are taking. There is every appearance that the present Presi- dential contest will be of the most disgraceful charac ter to the newspaper presé that ever took place in this country. Venality, fanatical abuse, corrup- tion, profligacy, falsehood, forgery, and every de- Warts. | | } | In view of all thes ugly provocations to d any | wonder that all the ‘fuss and feathers,” all the | guns, drums, and bombsbells of a hundred battles | should so utterly fail to revive the carnival of 1840, | orthe Rough and Ready enthusiasm of 18482 No; of considerable | the only wonder is that matters are not worse.

Even the Washington correspon- dents differ in opinion on this point, and contradict | each other without ceremony and without polite- | ness. We have, however, on this subject certain | precixe information, to which we have heretofore alluded, und some rumors which are not so authentic, which have also been given in columns. | We believe there is no doubt of the resignation of | Mr. Graham, which took place siuce he was nomi- nated by the whig convention to the Vice Prosi- | dency. We also believe that there ie no doubt that Mr. Webster has withdrawn from the cabinet, for the whole summer at least, and very likely for good | and all. Of the authenticity of tho statement en { this point we have no doubt; for wo have re- * ceived intelligence thereof, in the most undoubted | shape, during the passage of Mr. Webster through | this city on his return to Boston. We do not | believe that Mr. Webster meuns to re-enter the | cabinet, even if he should return to Washington; | and we rather think that a great many of his | friends in Magsachusetts intend to reptace him ‘again in the United States Semate—as South Carolina did Mr. Calhoun, and Kestucky did Mr. Clay—in order that he may occupy there a higher intellectual position for the xemainder of his days than even the occupant of the White louse, whoever may be elected to that position next November. Missouri, according to all accounts, is about re- turning Mr. Benton to the House of Representatives. Mr. Webster in the Senate, and Mr. Bonton in the House, will then form the two connecting links with the past and coming generations of statesmen. Their experionce, their intellectual power, their genius, and their reputation, are known to the country, aud | their opinions on all difficult national problems which may spring up hereafter wili be received with the same lvice of Cato neration with which the « famatory course, seem to be ready to be adopted by | a large portion of the party press—both whigs and | democrats—on the one side against General Scott, | and on the other against General Pierce. Is it not | possible for the high minded, intelligent portion of | party, or no party, to come forth and unite in one solid phalanx, and endeavor to stay the torrent of defamation which is sinking and depreciating the | character of the American newspaper press over this | contingnt and throughout the whole world? | Pirrssurg MOVEMENT IN York—More GrirtLE on THE Wie Pratrorm.—It will be scen | | by reference to another column of this paper, that | | the free soilers of the Third Congressional district of | , New York, styling themselves the free democracy, | have had a meeting, at which a platform was laid | down, and delegates appointed to the Pittsburg con- | vention, of the 11th of August. | Their principles are, briefly—No more slave | catching, freo farms, and intervention—but they | aro no doubt prepared to swallow anti-rentizin, so- | cialism, abolition, amalgamation, women’s rights, infidelity, the Maine Liquor law, and everything else | in the way of progress and reform, as developed by | the Fish and Fox girls, the philosophers, and the | spiritual manifestations. The ‘‘ free democracy” | *¢exeerate and spit upon” the platforms of both | the Baltimore conventions, and among their dele- | gates to Pittsburg is Mr. J. M. Spittle, the | very embodiment of Spittle himself. The meet- ing ought to have carried out the idea by ap pointing Greeley and Raymond as additional de- | legates. Asit is, among them, they have made | the whig platform so slippery with their spittle, that it is very difficult for old fashioned whigs to | stand on it at all. Keep an eye on this Pittsburg convention—keep an eye on Mr. Spittle. Thewhig party may probably be destroyed by spittle.

It is very true that the newspapers, with a degree of | shallowness too frequently observed in miserable party organs, have thrown the blame of tho | progress and increase of 1owdyism on the polico and the aldermen. Possibly both these classes of functionaries may be culpabie in a small way. But if their laxity is injurious to the peace of the city, the remissness of the public prosecutor is still more detrimental, because it withdraws entirely the con- | stant check held over malefactors and lawless char- acters by the dread of punishment. A few years | ago, it may be well remembered, a gang of row- dies, for a series of months, kept the city, or cer- tain portions of it, in continual dread and alarm. This batch of villians, we believe, was usually called the Chichester gang. The public officers of | that day had the violators of the peace belonging | to that gang arrested. They were indicted, were tried, were convicted, and some of them were punished with six months imprisonment in the penitentiary. The firm and decided conduct of the criminal authorities on that occasion had a most desirable effect on the peace and tranquillity of tho city for years after. But of late years, our public prosecutors, instead of being an organ for protecting the citizens from violence and lawlessness, seem as | if they were put into that position merely to encourage rowdyism, and allow it a full sweep in every direc- tion. For many years past, what gang of rowdies has been arrested, convicted or punished? What viobent street brawler has been brought up and served as his conduct merited? Public prosecutors seem to have, of late, entirely abandoned or repudi- ated this portion of their official duties. In such a state of things, the sudden resolute appearance of the present District Attorney, and his declaration in court that he means to do his duty firmly and in- flexibly, in putting down rowdyism so far ashe can, seems as an unexpected vision from the spirit world, transmitted through some of the mediums patro- nised by Judge Edmonds or the Misses Fox. New York rioting and rowdyism has grown out of political grog shops, and political committees, and political nominations of both parties. Unless the public officers of the law, such as Judges and Dis- triet Attorneys perform their duty fearlessly and deterininedly, it is needless to call upon the police or to exclaim against the aldermen. Even those yery rowdies who haye been arrested by the police over night and discharged the next morning by the aldermen, should not be permitted to escape thus. The public prosecutor can find out the evidence in every case, and have the culprits tried, convicted and punished according to law, in spite of all the friendly feelings and political sympathies of aldey- men or apy one else. We only require a firm, fear- less, intelligent and faithful District Attorney, to put down rowdyism in New York. City Intelligence.

Board of Supervisors. THE DEBATE ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, ON THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CRIMINAL COURTS AND POLICE, COMPOSED OF MESSRS. TWEED, COR- NELL, AND STURTEVANT, TO INCREASE THE SA- LARIES HE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS FROM 00 To $4,000 PER ANNUM EACH. Alderman Denman rose and said :—Mr. President, I am truly surprised to learn that a committee of this Board should recommend such an enormous increase of salaries of any officers, especially of State officers, whose salaries are regulated by the State, Sir, gentlemen, from some mysterious cause, seem to manifest an unceasing desire to thrust their hands and arms, from the tip end of the longest finger in the human hand to the farthest extrem- ity of the shouldeg, joint, into the public treasury of our city and county. [Alderman Denman here adapted his gesticulations to his startling words.] I begin to find, sir, that I do not belong to either party, in my capacity as municipal legislator, I abjure, thoroughly abjure, and stamp my feet upon all party trammels. in the corrup- tions and abominations of the City Hall. Why, sir, it scems that either party which happens to be domsnant here—and indeed I find that the majority and minority members unite here, and sit. cheek by jowl, ia municipal corruption; and that whatever is asked for by their satel- lites and hangers-on outside, is granted without the slightest chjeotion. And inasmuch a4 the democratic party is dominawt the present year, (which is represented as the most corrupt year siuce the foundation of the city.) it will be held responsible at the polls in November. And Thope. sir, that it will be held responsible for sending such men here; but, at the same time, I trust that the whigs wiil alco hold ‘their representatives here equally responsible; for Lussure the whigs that the whigs here are as corrupt as the democrats, in the present municipal corruptions, Alderman Twrep, the chairman of the committee, here sdddenly rose and said. that he would not permit the reports of committees to be thus abused—that the salaries of the Judges of the Court of Appeals should be fncreascd, in order to induce them to hold their sessions in the city—that they received less pay than any officers in the employ of the State or city government, and that he was for giving all officers a fair compensation for their services—that thege judges should be as well compensated as any other judges in the public employ, and that the amouint proposed was no more than a just compensation for their gervices. Alderman Sronrevaxt, another member of the com- mittee. roe and said that he would not set still and hear members of the Board of Supervisors attacked £0 grossly as the gentleman of the Sixteenth ward had attacked them. That it was not the first time that the members of that board had been thus attacked by him, ‘That he would bave the board believe that there was no integrity inthe board, save what came from the Sixteenth ward, What the gentlemen seemed to demand that ull proposi- tions submitted for expenditures should be submitted to him before they were brouy lt before the board for action, And that, for one, he would not submit to be thus used; and that the report submitted was a just one, and contemplated no more than the judges wore entt- tled to. ‘Alderman Dexwax rejoined, that he had no! a solitary fyllableto retract. ‘That what he had said he had seid ss the honest convictions of his heart, and he never would recall a word, nor would he permit any being on tarth to dictate iis course es @ publie legislator. That hie bad @ high public duty to perform, and that no com- mittee should intimidate him in attacking it as he chose for what he conceived to be the public good, Why. sir, doth in the Board of Supervisors and in the Board of Aldermen, the report of « committee is considered equiva- lent to the final passage of a measure, however momen- tous to the weal or wo of half a miltion of souls. Now, sir. T think it bigh time that such despotiom should be rended, And now, sir, members are to be abused be- cause they presume to attack the outrageous reports of these committees. Sir, if they are not attacked. and their motives and pernicious results exposed, they are adopted, often without the faintest whisper in the ne- gative. ‘But, sir, [not only intend to attack the reports of committees when I consider them fallacious and perni- cious, but I intend, soon, to propose that all proposttions, as in our national Congres, be read three times before they can become the law, by which the life-blood of our citizens are let out like water in the form of swindling taxation. Sir, Ido not know that the committee will derive any pecuniary benefit for their report, but I do believe that many committees in this board, and in the Eourd of Aldermen, do receive a consideration, and the whole city is rife with this belief at the present moment. Who, I would ask, ever knew of salaries boing dimin- ished by this board? And who ever heard of a petition for on inctease of salary being rejected by this Board? But the most monstrous feature in this ree port is, that these judges, whose salaries are proposed to be so enormosly increased, from twenty-five hundred to four thourand per annum, ench, aro State judges, whose Falaries are regulated by the State, and to bo pai the State treasury. These judges have no more cla on the trensury, exclusively, of the city and county of New York. than the Emperor Nicholas, "It may be ver, pleasing to other portions of the State, to saddle us with the salaries of State officers, bys we can assure them that we think we are suMelently taxed in this city and county, without uny extra calls ot this kind on our acknowletzed charity, as it suvors a little too much of an anreasonable trespnté an our generosity. No, we must tell the Stace at lage that our treasury has’ sufficient calls upon it, without establishing it ax a precedent that it shall hence: foith be the source for the pay of State officers. Why do etitioners go to the Legislature for relief? Our nty might join the State at large in their re- proper source, But we could with the sam priety sympathize with the Governor or Lieutenant ‘A-committee of this Board might, with equal ‘propriety. go up to A and say, “ Why, Mesers, Governor snd Lieutenant Governor, why, gen- Uemen, we are afraid your compensation is not suflicient ‘on certainly should come down to the city of New . and we can easily usurp the powor of the Legisln. ture which pays you so poorly, aud allow you a good fat salary. Oureitizens would not complain, they have be- come co accustomed to our extravagant appropriations, Come down roon, gentlemen, and we will raise your sala- ries to a proper dignity—to what we coaceive they should be from a generous con-tituoncy.”? Now. sir, [do solemuly protest against euch an outrageous violation of law and common decency, and I demand, in the name of our sa- cred laws, and in'the name of a people who are literally crushed to the dust hy exorbitant taxation, that the re- port be laid upon the tabl Bilt was laid upon the silence Adjourned to Monday afternoon, July 12 Yor ble in the midst of profound Court of Special Sessions.
