The steamship Humboldt, arrived yesterday morn- ing, brings us four days’ later intelligence from the Bastern hemisphere. Australia and its gold mines are the all absorbing topics in England, and the ecnstant arrival of vessels with their precious cargoes has increased the excitement of the Euglish people almost to phrenzy. When the Humboldt left, the general election was taking place throughout the kingdom. Religious and sectarian animosities were engendered by the political questions at issue, and much bitter feeling existed between the conserva- tives and liberals—so much so that rioters were or- ganizing, and ous disturbances might ensue. Nothing could be predicted as to which party would goin the mastery. From France we have the par- ticulars of the iracy lately discovered, whi had for its object the nation of Louis r Jeon. The Fourth of July was celebrated in Paris in a becoming manner, and an address was read by Mr. Sandford, Secretary of the Legation. The do- tails of the news will be found interesting. Some important business was brought before the Board of Supervisors la. a From the Comp- trolier’s report, we perceive that the increase of the assessed valuation of real and personal estate for the year 1852, over that of 51, is no less than $31,- 595,937. The total amount to be raised by tax for the year 1852 is $3. In this several item are defined—amongs , for police, over halfa million dollars, for which the public will say more efficient services be rendered. For lamps and gas $200.000, (whilst halfour streets are, night after night, left in total darkness the , and rowdyism thus more favored.)

A very wise conclusion. The govern- ment is now ready to distribute the money pro rata among the creditors of the Jate ‘lone star” ropub- lie, as soon as they shall sigoi’y their willingnose to receive it upon the conditions offered. n the United States Senate, yesterday, a rosolu- tiou was offered requesting the Secretary of State to furnish all the correspondence he may have touching commercial regulations in foreign coun- trice; and notice was given that a bill would shortly be introduced relating to the appraisement of mer- chandise. A resolution wae adopted calling upon the President to communicate the correspondence between our government and that of Mexico, in relation to the right of way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Senator Mason, in introduc- ing the resolution, said he understood the grant was now in the hands of the Britich govern- ment, and contended that the Amerigan people would never permit that right to be held ex. @lusively by any foreign power. This Tehuan. tepec affair and the question of the cod fisheries will be likely to give Mr. Webster plenty of work for some time, and tend to divert his mind from the viciesitudes of politics, and the uncertain- ties of Baltimore conventions. After some conver. _ #ntion in relation to Lieut. Temple's avcount of the Yanv'ing of the United States troope at Vera Cruz, the Doiiciency bill was taken up, the question being on the refusal of the House to agree with the Bexate’s ommendment appropriating $50,000 for their poy and mileage. Mr. Hunter asserted that the House could vot defeat it, and he thought that the one body should not interfere with the personal matters of the other. The Senate, by a unanimous vote, insisted on it# amendment, and appoiated a eommittes of conference t means political speeches; but the motion requiring & two-third vote, failed. The Indian Appropriation Dill was then taken up, the various amendments pored with | ted, it is said, a cordial | et baities | Washington that General | adopted, and the bill passed. Upon # communication being received from the Senate, asking a committee of conference on the amendment of that body te the Deficiency bill, which the House had disagreed to, @ motion was made to recede from their disa- great objects, appeals to old Mr. | Butler and *\he barnburners to rally to the support | of the far aticg, flibusters, and Feejoes, at Pittsburg, fe thr, purpose of defeating Pierce and King.

In fact, the table exhibits the crious—if not alarming—inerease of one hundred thirty-four during the week ended on Saturday In contrasting the relative diseases, we find that the largest increase exists under the head of cholera infantum—the deaths being during the Inst week eighty-two, and in the previous only thirty- one. Of the entire number of four hundred and forty-six, three hundred and forty were childcen under ten years of age, a ratio which may in some measure collect the crowded state of the apartments, and the neglect of ventilation, in the majority of our streets and alley-ways. There were five deaths from ** cholera morbus,” and fifty-seven from diseas- es of the lungs, viz., thirty-nine fiom consumption, and eighteen from a inflammation. Diarrhoa aud dysentery have also increased, the deaths from the latter in the past week being twenty-seven, and in that preceding only thirteen. Woe would again advise a united and vigorous exertion for civic sani- tary reform, and thet all foolich cavil about tho appointment of health wardens cease. The city is now in a very dirty state, in many parte, and it is well known that the paralysis consequent upon the be accounted for, when we re- | | evitably bo the promotion of Seward that we cannot announce a diminution in the rate | broud and comprehensive principles of the public plunder. A party thus united generally sticks like wax till the spoils are to bedivided. At that crisia it is comparatively easy work to get up a mutiny in the camp. But what are the prospects of this free soil move- ment? As we have remarked heretofore, we be- lieve, that, one way or the other, it will be decisive of the Presidential election. We also believe that of power, it will be the last of the national whig party. At best, the whig party has ran to secd—ran itself out; and in, the South it has a mere nominal existence. Its‘ original iden- tity, and principles, and spirit, are all gone. It is but the ghostly shadow of what it was in the meri- dian pride of the glorious days of 1828, ’36, and 40. 8o that, if General Scott is now defeated, this North- em whig party will merge itself, Seward and all, into the progressive party of the ‘free democracy” — “he abolition, free farm, women’s rigbts and inter- vention party; and the whigs of the South may go to the dogs. On the other hand, if General Scott is elected, Seward will have a voice in the cabinet, especially the kitchen cabinet, of which he will be the ‘ghief cook and bottle washer.” A foothold will be gained in the administration—the ear of the throne ; and the power of a master conspirator. While, therefore, the clection ef Scott would in- it would also favor tho ends of Mr. Chase, in rebuking the demo- cratic party, in advancing the cause of free soil and ebolition, and in making the cabinet itself a help- less instrument—a mere machine in the hands of our Northern agitators—just like the cabinet of poor old General Taylor. What may be the effect of this great heteroge- neous free soil movement cannot be safely conjec- tured short of the action of the Pittsburg Conven- tion. Jtis thought that John P. Hale, having withdrawn, Mr. Chase himeelf will be made the Pittsburg candidate, probably with Wilson or Adame, of Massachusetts, for Vice President. Per. laps our democratic fellow citizen, fo devoted to tho “stated preaching of the Gospel’’ at Sandy Hill, may be put second on the ticket, should he consent to join inthe movement, and induce John Van Buren and the rank and file of the barnburners to swear off from Pierce and King and the Baltimore platform. Seward is out of the question. He has set his traps in another quarter. He isa whig azlong as tho work of demoralizing the whig party to his purposes goes on so prosperously. But whatever the Pittsburg ticket may be, we have had some fore- shadowings of the platform, at the Worcester and other preliminary conventions.

Not only has Mr. Chase resolved to do this, but he wiehee his old confreres, such as B. F. Bat. ler, and Martin Van Buren, and Prince Joho Van Buren, to join him. Upon the strong considerations of consistency, and the great fun- | damental principlee of human freedom and phi- lanthropy, ho urges his old associates of the Buffalo concern to come up again, and try the same experi- ment over once more.

Such is the grand object of Mr. Chase, plainly laid down— | felfich schemes. Tho difference between the two is, that Chase is a conscientious fanatic on the slavery question, while Seward is a heartless and un- Principled demagogue, stooping to anything, and “ppropriating anything that will answer bis ends. And yet the tendencies of both are to the samo | point—the revival of agitation, and a violont and bloody dissolution of the Union. | The history which Mr. Chase gives of the Buffalo movement is interesting; ag also his narrative of the Baltimore Democratic Conventions of 48 and | °52.

The depressions of the manwactoring system, the expansions and revul- sions of commerce, and all the commercial revolu- tions which every now aud then affect this country, are caused principally by the want of regulation of the currency, and not by the precise terms of the revenue acts of Congress. A permanent regulation of the currency would be a more efficient protection for the manufacturing establishments than all the tariffs in the world. The framers of the constitu- tion understood this business much better than those who followed them, for they inserted in the constitution a provision forbidding the severa South altogether. Not only this, but the far more | States from issuing paper money. But this valua- ble principle inserted in the United States consti- tution, has been evaded and violated by the various States delegating the power of issuing paper money to banks, without number or limit, eetablishud by the domestic institutions of the South, till they | persons frequently without capital. We want, in the present condition of the country, this principle of the United States constitution, de- euch are the tendencies of Seward’s insidious and | priving the various States of the power, either di- serpentine policy for the promotion of his own | rectly or indirectly, of multiplying banks and paper currency, in preference to any other financial action within the power of Congress. We are on the high way to one of the greatest and most wide spread ex- pansions of the currency, and ultimate revulsion, that the world ever saw. The free-banking system ig without regulation and without limit, putting it in the power of any one and every one who chovses, yoestablish a bank, and there will bo, under it, no end to the multiplication of paper money, the expansion of paper credits, and all the evils that grow out of them to manufacturers, to commerce, to trade, and te every other social interest.

A similar ' petition has been got up in this city, by, merchants interested in the trade with that island. This is a very important and curious proposition, taken up as it is by the two leading abolition jour- nals of this city—the Evening Post and the Tribune. These newspapers have taken a deep interest in it, and call upen Congress to comply with the prayer of the petition, by acknowledging and recognizing the Emperor of Hayti, and forming a commercial treaty with him. This position of these | Journals is somewhat remarkable, when we consider | that both of them have so unmeasuredly denounced Louis Napoleon’s usurpation in France. It would | seem, nevertheless, that usurpation on the part ofa nigger in Hayti contains materials for recommending itself to theirsympatby and admiration, and through them to the recognition by the Anglo Saxon repub- lic of this continent, while that of a like kind in | France, is to be denounced, execratedand spit upon, But both these journals certainly do show a very queer taste and strange inconsistency. The nigger emperor, whom they urge this country to acknow- lege, has exhibited in his career all the ferocious, violent and barbarous features of character which dis. tinguish his original race in Africa; and now, because he has assumed the rank and trappings of an em- peror, and has got a crown imposed on his woolly pate, according to the most approved etiquette and ceremonials, these abolition poets and philosophers express particular sympathy in his behalf, and ex- | | | | | hibit great anxiety that his black minister should be duly received, and recognized at Washington, there to maintain an equal footing with the representatives ef European nations, and be permiited to mix in the polite cir- cles of the capital. This is strange dopravity of taste ; but we trust—and, indeed, have no doubt of it—that the Executive, as well as Congress, will ike a suitable disposal of these petitions, by giv- ing them the most unqualified rejection. lustoad of paying any attention to such an impudent at- tempt to procure the recognition of Soulouque, our government should rather encourage and aid and assist the white race in the island—the Dominicans —to drive out the black savages and restore the re- publican regime throughout the whole of that beau- tiful but unfortunate island.

If this declaration he satisfactory to the Speaker, well and good; i€it be not, we decline giving him the neme of our cor. respondent, and assume all the responsibility. But we beg to remind him, that under the laws of this Staie no further correspondence take place, without subjecting usto the same difiiculty in which Col.

She intends, also, when the case comes up before,the criminal and civil courts, to take a position side by side with her counsel—the eloquent James TT. Brady—and to make the most burning speeches on the occasion, on which she will give a specimen of her legal knowledge, and her courteous and lady- like sarcasm, that will convey a lesson, in gentle- manly or lady-like pleading, to Charles O’Conor and John Van Buren—such as they will never for- et.

If this is 80, it is a fishy affair; and may be called the codfish movement. It is a queer thing, and hasa salty eme)i—‘‘an ancient snd fish like smell;” yet some- thing may be brought out of it. If the particu- lar friende of Mr. Webster hala little pluck and spirit they would make the most of it, get up an ex- citement—a codfish and mackerel panic—and tollow it up by a strong body of delegates to Philadelphia. It is not too late yet. The Georgia whigs have no- minated Mr. Webster—he is now fairly before the country 44 an independent candidate.
