We bad hoped that the disgraccfal and undigni- fied aetions which have hitherto occasionally ebaracterized the proceedings in our national legis- lature, would nover again be revived; but the wild, beisterous, and blackguard scene in the House of Representatives, yesterday, shows how vain were our hopes, and convinces us that until we entirely change our system of selecting and rewarding eon- gsesemen for their services, we shall never be fully represented by men of talent and enterprise. It is yeally astonishing to find any body ef gentlemen, mueb less those who are supposed to have been ehesen for their eminent capacities to devise and @pact Jaws for the government of the people, coun- tenaveing and encouraging such passionate lan- guage as marked the dialogue between Messrs. Polk, @allom, White, and others, yesterday. This con- troversy bad nothing whatever to do with the wabject under consideration—the Light House bPl—but was of a general politieal nature al- together, in the eonrse of which. Major Polk wodertook ito detexiorate’ the military and por- sonal character of Gen. Scott, and acensed va- riows prominent whigs of Temnessec, Virginia, and Kentucky, of a collusion with Senator Seward and ether Northern free soilers, to eeeure the nomi- mation of Gen. Scott. This, of conrse, aroused the Wwe of some of the whigs; and one angry word brought en another, until} the lie was given and re- tarned several times, and everything was ina state ef confusion. All these harsh and unneeossary disputes, between the warm adherents of Generals Boett axd Pierce, only tend to injure the cause of beth; besides which, the one yesterday will probably terminate in a duel, and perhaps the loss ef life They ore, therefore, dorply to be deplored. It cer- tainly scems strange that Mujor Polk should havo so far forgotien himzelf as to enter into avy snch spiteful haravgue In this, bo appears to be the very reverse of his deccased brother, the late Presi- dent, whose moderation in the celebrated flare-up with Honry A. Wise, Bailie Peyton and others, materially assisted in raising him to the eminenee he afterwards ocpupied. We repeat that until there ie change in the manner of paying congressman— wntil the salary is made sufliicient to remunerate men of mind and capability—our halls of legisla- tien will continue mere bear gardens. The Speaker of the House, yesterday, named the oommittce of five who are to investigate the facts eoncerning the Gardiner and other Mexican claims, and Seorctary Corwin’s connection therewith. Tho morning hour was spent in discussing the bill for the better security of the lives of passengers on steam vessels. The cause of humanity demands that this measure should become a law before the clove of the present session, and that it should be strictly onforced after it goes into operation. Meech business of a miscellaneous character was transacted in the United States Sonate yesterday. Mr. Yulee is sti]! urging his claims to the seat eccnpied by Mr. Mallory, of Florida. A resolution to permit Mr. Y. to bo heard at the bar lies over. The Senate refused to reconsider the vote ordering & committee to investigate the conduct of Mr. Bartlett, of the Mexican Boundary Commission. Petitions against the free farm bill are beginning to come in. Ifall the opponents of this abominable scheme should get up memorials on the subject, as its few friends have already done, our Senators would be overwhelmed with them. The Judiciary Committee recommended the passage of the House bill declaring the Wheeling bridge a lawful struc- ture. If this measure should succeed, it will put an end to the legal warfare between Virginia and Pennsylvania. Among other amendments to the Civil and Diplo- matic bill, Senator Hunter proposed that hereafter there shall be a Minister Plenipotentiary to China, at a salary of $9,000, instead of a Commissioner, and a Minister Plenipotentiary to Turkey instead of a Minister Resident. Senator Clarke opposed the ehange with regard to China, partly for the reason that there was no actual necessity for any othor re- presentatives than consuls, and partly because it would interfere with the pesition of Hon. Humphrey Marshall, who had resigned his seat in the House of Representatives for the purpose of filling the Commissionership. As was anticipated, the Senate yesterday got through with its amendments to the River and Harbor bill, and then ordered its engrossment by a vote of thirty-one to seventeen. The amendments made by the Senate amount to $530,000, the whole of which, it is thought, will be stricken out by the House. The friends of the measure are now quite ganguine that it will pass, in its original shape, during this session. We clsewhere publish a very lengthy letter from Secretary Wobster to the Peruvian Minister, con- cerning the sovereignty of the Lobos Islands. As this document appears to cover the whole question, it will be read with deep interest. One of our Washington correspondents writes that it is very probable that Mr. James Brooks, whig M. C. from this city, will get the Postmaster Geno- ralship. Well, he may be appointed; but when the Senate is called upon to confirm him, it is presumed that that body will minutely inquire into his quali- fications, and aleo into the wholesale intriguing for office now going on among the pretended feiends or the expiring administration, As to the office in question, it was never more grossly mismanaged than at present. Mail failures are of so frequent oc- currence that people are beginning ,to look upon them as every day affairs, and are eurprised if three mails are successively received from the same quarter. Last night, three letter mails were recived from the South, but no New Orleans newspapers came to hand. The latters from beyond Washing- ton should have been here yesterday forenoon, and those which should have been here by the half past seven o'clock train, did not get along till near mid- night. Ifan industrious, practical man was placed at the head of the post office department the people would be greatly the gainers. The democrats of Albany have chosen delegates ‘to the State Convention, who are in favor of @ canay candidate for Governor. The canal question appears to be the leading issue in the coming contest for Btate officers. ’ The greatest possible excitement exists among the Buffalo firemen, who have tied up their engines, and disbanded their companies, because the new obarter takes from them the privilege of selecting their chief engineer and gives it to the people.— The Common Council have invited the citizens to come forward and enrol thems@ves as members, and a furious riot ie apprehended on the first alarm of fire. Tremont, Ohio, has recently beon the scone of another serious railroad riot, in which one man was killed, and several others were severely wounded. Woe this morning record another railroad accident and loss of life. It occurred to the Erie railroad train, on the Ramapo Railroad, at about half-past eleven o'clock yeeterday forenoon, while the cars were going at a rapid rate around the curve just this side of Sufferns Station. Owing to a flaw etherim of one of the drivers, the wheel gave way, causing the engine, baggage car, and seme the passenger cars, to tumble down an efabout fifteen or twenty fect. One man, ® fre wounded, several = ror ‘There were about twe hundred passengers on the train at the time, all of whem were thrown into confusion, and it is remarkable, ‘under the circumstances, that 60 few were badly en farther items relative to the sinking of the steamer Atlantic on Lake Erio, will be found under the telegraphic head. Cuba—Order of the Lone Star—Formidable Project of Invasion. For seme days past the Courier and Enquirer has been publishing # variety of mysterious revo- lutienary documents, relating to the island of Cuba; but, as they emanated from a seeret olub in the island, whero anything like the organization of a dangerous conspiracy against its Spanish rulers is tho next thing to an utter impossibility, we have seereely held these seditious bugetins to be worthy of a moment’s serious attention. The Courier of yesterday morning, however, in its circumstantial diselesure of a formidable, active, and systematized revolutionary league, in these United States, with the mon and the means necessary to conquer the island, and waiting only for the opportunity for a descent upen it, places the matter in the light of the most important and momentous conspiracy of the times. It thus assumes a practical shape and consistency, compared with which all other pro- jects against European domination on thiscontinent, er its eontiguous islands, are visionary and chi- merical; and its eomprehonsive tendencies involve all the hazards of a general war. According to the statement of our cotemporary, it appears that there exists in this country a secret, wide-spread political association, known as the “ Or- der of the Lone Star’’—that it has numerous divi- sions established all over the country—that in the city of New York and neighborhood there are some seven er eight divisions, ‘embracing sove- | ra] thonsand men, who have all bound themselves te march, at a moment’s warning, to Cuba; that these organizations comprise men of all professions, even including ministers of the gospel,” and that ** their coffers are rapidly filling with gold.” From the authority of José Sanchez Ysnaga, it farther appears that there now exist over fifty divisions of “the Lone Star,’ in eight or ten States of the Union, forming an aggregate of fifteen thousand men, solemnly banded together for the liberation of Cuba. According te the constitution— “ach member must poy at least three dollars for his initiation, five dollars for the second degree, and five dotlars for the third, besides four shillings monthly dues ; but nearly all, if not all the divisions. bave raiced the reale of dues, As soon as three divisions exist in any State, a general assembly is formed, composed of two members of each division, elected by pallot. ‘These geae- ral assemblies are anthorixed to pass such by-laws and regulations as they may judge convenient for the good and increase of the order.” ‘The supreme council is com pored of two members from each general assembly, elected by themselves. which is charged with the general interests of the order, This council has power to dispose of the funds, to levy contributions if it is deemed neoes- sary, to name officers and agents, and to act as umpire in all disputes of grave moment which occur.” Here we have all the specifications of a systema- tic and formidable organization, originated by Lopez, and expanded into a sort of consecrated so- ciety since the bloody termination of his final and fatal expedition. The duty of vengeance is thus blended with the liberation of Cuba. The im- mense harvest of spoils, which a successful invasion would give to the conquerors, is thus held out as the reward of a pious crusade in behalf of liberty, and in avenging her fallen martyrs. We can now account for the importance which the Cou:rier has given to the revolutionary documents emanating from Cuba. In their connection with the “Order of the Lone Star,” they have a deep meaning. No doubt the conspirators in the island and out of the island, are thoroughly advised of each other’s move- ments, and are cperating together in harmony. Powerless as the conspiracy in the island may be, it is intended for the most useful assistance to the in- vaders, when they shall again hazard themselves in a hostile irruption. Some guiding nucleus of the movement from the United States is indispensable at Havana; and a few sagacious and intelligent men are better than a large body; for if half the men enrolled in this country enlist in any future ex- pedition, or even a third of them, and effect a land- ing, they will require no help from the people og Cuba to effect its subjugftion in a very few days. The contest will be one of extermination on both sides; and the achievements of the four hundred badly armed men under Lopez, may afford some esti- mate of what could be accomplished with four thou- sand well equipped. The best appointed Spanish force of twenty thousand men would not be able to cope with them. Nor are the obstacles to the mustering of three or four thousand men upon our shores, and their sailing to, and landing upon the island, as great as many suppose. What was done by Lopez may be done again ; and November, Deceasber, or January next, would be a good time for the work. The present administration will be going out, and ite active supervision and vigilance over our foreign relations will be to a great degree suspended. The new administration will not yet bein authority ; and as for Congress, we apprehend that that branch of the government will be looking towards the fishing banks, or somewhere else, and will be too slow te overtake the Cuban invaders till it istoolate. And that the successful invasion of Cuba, by an over- whelming ‘liberating expedition” from this coun- try, would be hailed with acclamation by the’Ameri- ean people, there is not the remotest shadow of a doubt. It would be a popular thing—the success of the order of “the Lone Star” is evidence enough of the popularity of the scheme. We say, then, that this isa momentous movement. There is temptation enough in it to lure able, ta- lented, and respectable men - men of character and men of means, to say nothing of the tremendous confiscations of government property and royalist estates that would follow the liberation of Cuba by an invading army of patriotic adventurers. We should not be surprised to see our neighbor, who failed to become a brigadier general in the Mexican war, appointed, and bravely acting as a major general, in the projected conquest of Cuba. He may, even now, be a member of tho’ Lone Star Association, for all that we know. He certainly ap- pears to have been admitted into their secrets, if not into their councils. Whether Mr. Webster secretly leans to the acquisition of Cuba, or other- wise, we do not know; but at the time of the last Lopez invasion, he was supposed to be remarkably indifferent to the terrors of the Spanish minister at Washington. In fact, thore is no telling how far the speculative schemes of Wall street—financial and political extend, till they are brought to light. We may rest assured, however, that if there shall appear to bea fair prospect for this Cuban enter- prise, funds will not be wanting, even from Wall street, to help it on. With respect to the consequences of a successful liberating invasion of Cuba, they can scarcely be over estimated. The immediate danger to us would be a war with England, France,and Spain, all to- gether; and yet, from all that wo can learn, wo must prepare for that contingency, or prepare for the purchase of Cuba, before it is too late to avoid awar. What says Mr. Webster? Let him look to Cuba. ‘Tue Temprrance Parry in THe Crry.—We un- derstand that the teetotallers of “‘ the Holy Al- liance” are exceedingly busy organizing the various wards for the coming city election. They have a Very good chance to muster a strong force against the rum and rowdy influence of the primary clec- tions in the two old and rotten parties. If they would only go for temperance on the voluntary plan, without any despotic attempt to enforce Maine laws on a free people, they would carry everything before them ; but they have not sense to kaow how to do » good thing ina proper wey, ‘Tus Duuccsavr0 Pamany Buserions To “0s- now—Wuar 18 TO 35 DONE '—To morrow evening the primary elections of the demecracy take place all over the city. There are two calls in conflict with each other—one signed by ‘‘ Wm. Murray, chairman pro tem.; A. 8. Vosburgh and J. C. | Smith, seeretaries pro tem.” The other is signed | by the regular officers of the General Committee— | “ Augustus Schell, chairman, and Jonas B. Philips , and Joseph Hilton, secretaries,” and other members | of the Committee, making in all thirty-one, or | a majority of the whole Committee. This an-— nouncement recognizes the call of the 5th of August | as the only regular and lega) one. The call of the | majority will, doubtless, prevail in the greater num. | ber ef the wards. But it is equally certain that in | some of the wards the minority will have the upper- hand ; and in others they will make a bold struggle for the mastery. Therumand rowdy influences will be brought to bear, and t'¢ most riotous pro- ceedings may be expected in several of the wards. | In this struggle, the majority ef the Committee, | headed by the regular officers, are likely to prevail | in the end, the legality being on their side. Tho acts of the majority of the Committee are the acts of the Committee, and the acts of a minority are not recognized. But there will be a fierce contost to-morrow night, and it is to be hoped that the po- | lice will be on hand to do their duty, and prevent | the effusion of blood. It is possible that the rum and rowdy organize- tion may prevail, and carry all before it to-morrow evening, vi et armis; or it may be that the sober, good sense of the people will offer it an effectual re- sistanee. But whatever may be the result of the present primary elections, respectable men—men of standing and character in the community—ought to come together promptly, and take measures to put an end to all primary elections in future, unless thoroughly reformed. These organizations, in their present state, are attorly corrupt, rotten to the’ core, and incurable. They are equally diseased in both the parties; and if there is any difference, the whigs are the worst. The same bullies—the same fighting men—the same emigrant runners, baggage smashers and dospera- does, se!] themselves to both the parties by turus, or rather are hired and commanded by double dyed scoundrels, who, in the capacity of undertakers and managers, fell the offices to the highest bidders, and by dint of hard fighting, secure the nomina- tions to the wealthiest rascals, who pay best, no matter what may be their character or qualifications. In Ganvassing the claims of the respective candi- dates, the only arguments admissible are of the knockdown species of logic, which are found, fo™ the most part, to be very convincing with the timid’ the pacific, the cowardly, and all who do not carry bowie knives and revolvers. Tho melancholy part of the business is not so much that tho rowdies kick up these shines, as that young men and old, who ought to be respecta- ble, join with them, pay them, and use them for po- litical purposes, and in order to nullify the action of the majority of the people. This is the cause of all the corruption that developes itself in the Cor- poration, from time to time, resulting in the elec- tion of the most depraved, the most ignorant, and the most unprincipled men, and so utterly degrading that body that it has long enjoyed the contempt of the whole community. Having purchased their seats from the ringleaders of the rowdies, the office- holders indemnify themselves by putting their hands into the public purse, while, at the same time, they procure ‘the sinews of war ” for the next election; and so the everlasting round of corruption goes on, in “a vicious circle,” which ought to be broken up and effectually destroyed by independent citizens, irrespective of all party considerations. Such men ought to assemble and issue a manifesto, declaring their views to their fellow citizens, and appealing to them for assistance and co-operation. There are two ways in which the rum and rowdy system may be put down. The first is by re- gistering the name of every voter, together with his politics, and not permitting him to vote other- wise at primary elections. In trying this plan it may be necessary, perhaps, to call in the aid of the Legis- lature to legalize the primary assemblies, authorize the administration of an oath to the voters, and make ita State prison offence to assault, molest, or ob- struct any man in the discharge of his duty as a vo- ter, and finally declarizg it illegal and penal to call or kold any primary election at, or in the immediate vicinity of, grog shops and rum holes. If this will not do, then the only alternative left is to go for stump nominations. At all events, let the rowdy in- fluence be opposed in one way or another, till it is ecmpletely put down. As Cato used to close his speeches in the senate against an inveterate enemy ot the Roman people in the words, Delenda cst Carthago—“*Carthage must be destroyed”—so let our concluding words now be that the enemy of law and order—the common enemy of all classes of citi zens—“rowdyism, must and shall be destroyed. And let all good ci izens say amen. CELEsRITIES OF THE Next Season.—We hay» of late noticed, from time te time, the movements of Alboni, Sontag, Miss Hayes, and othor notabil- ities, but there has been generally a complete silence observed as to the doings of Lola Montes, so much so that from the prestige ef her expleits bo- fore and since she came to tuis country, the with- drawal of her name from the public journals, in which she has so long figured, has excited seme surprise § me of the distant correspondents, in several of the journals, are at length beginaing to inquire what has beceme of the Countess de Lands- feldt? We understand, hewever, that she has enly been ruralizing and enjoying the pleasures of the country during the period that the omission of ehro- nicling her movements was observed. For these few months past, Lola has been rusticating among the Catskill mountains—climbing the precipices, fording the streams, and skipping about the rocks, with as much delight as if she were among her na- tive hills of Spain. She has now returned to the city, and, according to the last accounts, is going to make a grand demonstration at the pic nie to be given at Yonkers to-morrow, by the Pick Club of New York and Brooklyn. It is expected that there will be a magnificent blow out of the boys and girls there, up among the groves near Yonkers; and Lola, it is said, has been invited, and will form one of the party. It is intended, too, that she shall make a speech, present a standard, and receive the thanks of the committee of the club. A steamboat is to convey the party to the grounds, and it is estimated that some eight or nine hundred ladies and gentlemen from Brooklyn, Wil- liamsburg, and this city, will be present on the oc- easion—all gambolling and sporting, dancing and amusing themselves under the trees, in every varie- ty of fun and frolic. Lola, of course, will be the Queen of the file Next Governon—Several of the journals of the interior, and some of our correspondents, have been putting forward the names of various politicians for the office of Governor of this State. Corning, Mather, Seymour, Clinton, and others, from Albany Deersaars Onawr.—Little Ned Buntiine No. 2 makes & desperate onset on Mr. John Livingston, bearer of @ recent important from Lon- don to Washington, relative to the fisheries.

Goon, Ned No. 2—you will soon get to the end of your tether, like your predecessor, Ned Buntline No. 1. You are not yet out of the hands of Lola Montes, who will use you up, as she did the King of Ba- varia. ‘Tue Frencu anv Sramien Dancens at Ninto’s —A de- ecription of last night’s representation at Niblo’s beauti- ful theatre would be, in most respects, but a repetition of what we have written on the same subject for the last two months, Still the same story of a house crowed with fash- ionable, well. dressed people--of the enchanting dancing of the magnificent Soto, and the classic style of the clegant Pougaud—and still the same enthusiastic plaudits be- stowed on each of those popular danseuses, National pride and prejudice have entered considerably into the composi- tion of the manifestations in honor of the denseuses, The | Spanish supporting their own fair countrywoman--Soto-— over all competitors, and Pougaud being in the same way applauded by the French.

We have heard for some time past that they were endeavoring to get up that of » The Barber of Seville,” but they ought to have had a ballet the very first week of their appearance. Im fact, hey should have made their début ia one, It is unwor- thy of the mannger, as well as of the artistes, to have kept them allt the time figuring in petty little pas seuts, and ras de deux, while they should have been delighting the public with their performances in the more legitimate branch of the art. The truth of the matter is, that the management seris to be very deficient in tact and talent. Sefton is not fit for the times which, now-a-days, require the highest order of managers—n¢t the old inactive sticks of twenty-five years ago, It is really a pity to seo how these exquisite dancers have been allowed to waste so wuch time and ability on these ridiculous pas, while their splendid powers might have been exhibited in grand ballet. We see. however, that there is some pros pect of reparation, as “The Barber of Sevilie” is an- nounced for next week. Desratcn From Cart.

We have not seen, however, the name of any can- didate who stands higher in his party, or occupies & more popular position as a statesman, a patriot, and a goed man, than General Ward, of West Chester, who deserves—if anybody doce, in this Btate—the honor of a nomingtion and election for Governor of New York.

A large business was transacted in the stock market to day, but there was a serious decline in nearly every stock offered, Most of the operations were on time, both buyers and sellers option, At the first board, New Jersoy Zine declined * per cent; Dauphin Coal, 34; Erie Rail- road, 34; Nicaragua, 1; Harlem, %; Long Island, +; Stonington, 1; Norwich and Worcester, 1; Canton Co., 4; Hudson River Railroad, 1%. Reading Railroad ad- vanced 5; per cent; Florence and Keyport, 14. There were very heavy sales of New Jersey Zine, and prices fell off from the opening. It is impossible to make any dis- tinction in the leading stocks. All are affected nearly alike by the pressure on the market. The internal affairs or position of any particular company have nothing todo with the downward movement in prices, The effect is generally of an unfavorable character. When a change comes, we have no doubt it will be as general for the better. One cause of the depression in the stock market undoubtedly is the increased and in- creasing demand for money. The banks are making a strong effort to put up the rate of interest, and they have partially succeeded. This cannot continue, for as money is wanted the supply will increase, and capital, which has heretofore been invested in stocks, will be withdrawn, and go into the market for the pur- chase of mercantile paper. At the second board, the market was still further depressed. Canton Com- pany declined 4; per cent ; Morris Canal 3s; Penn- sylvania Coal 34; Norwich and Worcester 8; Ni- caragua %{; Reading Railroad % ; Harlem % ; Erie 34+ Cumberland Coal and Hudson Railroad advanced 44 per cent each, The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to 155,069 52; paymea's $46,180 60—balance $6,476,753 68. This is a large bal- ance, but considerably less than it has previously been, Onthe Sth of September, 1850, the balance amounted to $7,324,024 20. Soon after the adjournment of Congress, there will be a rapid reduction in the government de- positories. ‘The demand for foreign exchange has not been very active, for remittances by the steamship Asia, from this Port to-morrow—Wednesday—and drawers are disposed to make aslight reduction in quotations ruling for the last paeket. We quote bills on London at 10% a 104 per cent premium; on Paris 6f. 133¢ a 5f. 1214; Amsterdam 41a 4114; Bremen 7907934; Hamburg 3614 a 365%. The steamer will take out about six hundred thousand dollars im specie, Engagements have already been made for nearly that sum; but it is possible, on account of the re- duced rates of sterling bills, a portion of it may be with drawn. Proporals will be received until the 15th of September, at 3 o'clock P. M., at the office of J. Thompson, cornor of Wail street and Broadway, for three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) City of Wheeling Six per Cent Coupon Bonds, guaranteed by the State of Virginia, payable ia twenty years. Coupons for interest, payable semi-annu- ally, (July and January,) at the banking house of Dun- can, Sherman & Co, in thiscity. ‘These bonds are issued to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, for the sub- scription of the city to its stock. These bonds are of the denomination of one thousand dollars each, andare issued under full powers from the Legislature, and are guaran- teed by the State of Virginia, The guarantee was given before the adoption of the new constitution, which pro- hibits, for the future, any pledge of the credit of the State for such purpores, Bids will be made, without ro- gard toaccrued interest, for all accrued interest will be added when the bonds are paid for. The premium will bo paid on the day after the opening of the bids, and the par, with accrued interest, may be paid at the option of the bidder any time before tho 6th of January next, thus giving capitalists an opportunity to secure a most re- liable and permanent investment, without precipitately disturbing their money arrangements, Sock Bxchang . $1950 Obio 6°, "60. 50 1000 do, ioe 50 °™ 96% 800 Erie RR. . om * 400 49 250 Cr 2500 Ind State 5 pct. 95 100 1000 Erie 1 b 2000 Hud 1b 108 40 sha N O 99 e 100 Del & Hud 100 do. 700 Harlem 600 a wring Compound, prepare Fr Weanionten sureet Herben. 3 use hes to furnis! dull razor, the absen conseque: 0 of shaving, an feoling it ta to the skin, are i ‘Sold wholesale and retail, by A, B. & t. $00 Fuiten ‘cot; Rushton, Clark & Co., Bmith, 727 Broadway; Wm. ‘and by the druggists and perfi ug A Preventive for Summer Diseases.—The Impurity of water is & great source of diarrhea and ol orbus, as I 60 &8 unwholesome vegetables or it; but the Porous Glass Filter will ronder the water tas® ciamond, and as hoalthy and nature intended it to be.
