New Yoru, Thursday, June 23, 1853, The News. Onur columns are again crowded to excess wit Inte and highly interesting intelligence from all parts of the globe. The most important of this avalanche of news isthat received from the old world by the steamship Niagara, at Halifax. The difficulty be- tween Rassia and Turkey continued the all-absorbing Yopic of discussion on the other side of the Atlantic. Notwithstanding that the people of England and France flattered themselves with the belief that the affair would be amicably arranged, both the coun- aies in question were actively raising troops, and making every other necessary preparation for war. The Czar had despatched a messenger to Con- stantinople with instructions to inform the Sultan fiat he must accept Menschikoffs ultimatum, or take the consequences. From the number of men under arms in Turkey it is evident that she is deter- mined to meet and repel the Russians, should they attempt to cross the boundary line. Another indica- tion that the peaceful settlement of the dispute is not looked upon with any degree of certainty, is the announcement that the rates of insurance had been greatly increased on vessels bound to the Black Sea. It is also pretty confidently asserted that, should Russia proceed to extremities, the English and French fleets have been ordered to combine and @rive back the forces of the Czar. The intelligence with regard to other matters in Europe, though in- teresting, is not important. There had heen no ‘ehange worthy of special note in commercial affairs. By the arrival of the steamship Crescent City we ave one week later news from California. The in- telligence, though unimportant, 1s interesting. The ‘crops are spoken of as being in an unprecedentedly flourishing condition—the yield of grain will be enormous. We publish a full review of the condition of the markets and the prospects of miners. The accounts are almost without exception favorable, and indicate a season of unusual prosperity. The legis- lature adjourned on the 19th of May, after passing ene hundred and eighty laws. A railroad conven" tion was heid at San Diegoon the 8th of May, of which Col. Magruder was chairman. which declared in favor of the ‘Southern route,” as far preferable to any other. Theatrivals were prosperous, fights were frequent, telegraph poles were going up, Sunday was to be better ubserved, the Indians were quiet, religion was progressing, and the natural produc- ‘tions of the Go dem State were on the increase, as May be learned on reference to the unusually long List of births in another part of the paper. From Oregon the news is, as usnal, uninterestinz. Bat one subject appears to occupy the minds of the people in that region—politice—politics. Via Panama we have received twelve days’ later advices from Australia. The details from that region will be found very interesting. An abundance of gold was still flowing into the principal cities from the mines, emigrants were pouring in, provisions continued very high, mercantile business was dull, new banks were everywhere springing up, and bands + ‘of robbers organizing with the intention of attacking the treasure trains, &c. No better evidence of the geueral prosperity of the country is wanting than the fact of the astonishing improvement in the con” tents and appearance of the newspapers—many of them being printed on double sheets, in order to mect the demands of advertisers, and keep up with the spirit of the age. A number of Americans from the Australian diggings, recently arrived in Pa- nama. Later dates from New Zealand fally confirm the re- ports of the discovery of gold in that quarter. Some very fine samples of the precious metuis had been brought in, but to whatextent itexisted had not with any certainty been ascertained, owing to the fact that miners were very scarce, aud it being to their inter- est to keep as quiet as possible. A very valuable coal field had also been discovered at Pakawan, which fortunate event induced the inhabitants to bope that the steamers would touch at New Zea land and take in supplies of fuel while on the voy age between Panama and Australia. The account of Capt. Cook’s visit to New Zealand, as given by an old vative chief, is very curious and entertain- ing. Read it. While all the inhabitants of all the other islands are flourishing under the great and increa-ing trade which bas within the past few years sprung up thore of the Society Islands, like the crab, appear to be progressing backwards. A letter elsewhere pub- ished, under date of Otubeite, April lst, states that the people are depressed for want of food, that the Fiench mouopolire everything, and that it is impos. sible for any ves-el to procure a week's supply of pro vaions there. The natives are sorely mortified with th: government established by the Freuch, and de- clare that they will not be able to raise anything so Jong as it lasts. Every arrival from the countries bordering on the South Pacific, brings us intellivence of great interest. Tranquillity is never of long darition among , the people or the nations in that section. At last accounts, there was less prospect of a@ war between Peru and Bolivia. The Pero wave do not feel inclined to fight, besides which the government of Bolivia seems to have suf- ficient work on hand to keep tne disaffected portion of its own inbabitauts, without seeking additiona trouble abroud. The enemies of President Belza are said to be collecting « strong force ‘on the Buenos Ayres side, under the general-hip of an ill treated ex-President, and the consequence is that we May expect soon to hear of a successful revolution in Bolivia. In order to give our readers some idea of the character of Belzn, it is only necessary to men tion tbat the American Charge is the only member of the diplomatic corps left near bis government, h having dismissed both the Chilian Minister and Peruvian Charge, and insulted the British Charge 80 grovsly as to compel him to leave. All was quiet at Valparai+o; the crops had yielded immensely, and team communication with the principal ports on that side of the continent had imparted great activity to the people. By reference to the news from New Granada, it will be seen trat the amount of specie transported acroes the Isthmus during the first five months of the, present year, amounted to $27,816,396. The tota pareoge transit for the same period amounted to 8,693 persons for, and 4 rom California. The government, it will be observed, has determined to hereafter take upon itself the duty of effectually guarding, by an armed force, the passage of treasure from one ocean to another. Recent accounts 1.%0m Nova Scotia represent the solonists aa in a grat state of excitement with regard W the Gshesies, The chasing of one of their vessels from the Grand Banks by 9 French ; cruiser has opened their eyes won@erfully. They have suddenly discovered that the French have | tangible claims, however long thy may have been in abeyance. The proceedings in our Sta’e Assembly yesterday were of an unusually important and exciting charac- ter. The resolutions for the impeachment of Canal | Commissioner Mather ¥vere adopted by a vote of eighty to thirty-five. Strong resolutions were after- | wards presented for the purpose of bringing to trial i yarious other State officers, including Attorney-Ge- | neral Chatfield, whose official career seems to have brought upon him the uncompromising indignation of some of the members of the democratic party, at the head of whom is Mr. Ely, of Broome county. Notwithstanding the intense heat of the weather, the galleries and lobbies are represented to have been densely crowded with anxious listeners to the remarkably exciting debate which was almost wholly confinei to the democratic side of the House. It being a purely democratic quar- tel, the whigs remained in the back-ground, and quietly enjoyed the sport. This matter has now assumed a far more serious shape than was generally apprehended. A high State officer—and | probably all his colleagues—is to undergo a trial in which his honor, his standing in society, his future happiness, is involf@d. What the result will be time alone can unfold. The bill for the better preservation of life on rail. roads, was yesterday reported to the Assembly, and made the special order after the impeachment cases are disposed of. The Senate’s Maine Law bill was discussed at some length in Committee of the Whole; but, on being reported to the House, was laid on the table bya vote of fifty three to forty- eight. Inthe Senate, Mr. Cooley presented a report in which, after enlightening his colleagues upon all the principal pleasure grounds in Europe, he recom- mended a central location for the new park in this city. He declaresthat Jones’ Woods will not do. Hon, Erastus Fairbanks was yesterday nominated for Governor by the Vermont Whig State Conven- tion. The Massachusetts State Temperance Convention, which convened at Springfield yesterday, is repre sented as having been very slimly attended. Never- theless several of the strongest men in the cause were present and participated in the proceedings, as will be seen by our very fall report. We elsewhere publish the third day's proceedings of the great Southern Commercial Convention, as furnished by our special reporter. Owing to the irregularity of the mails, our letters have been re- ceived ina very awkward manner—the sketch of the second day’s proceedings came to hand before that of the first, and the fourth day before the third. This disarrangement will not, however, in the least depart from the interest of the speeches of Hon. Messrs. Baylor and Bell, and Generals Quitman and Hunt. Padre Gavazzi, last evening delivered a lecture at Metropolitan Hall, torather a scanty audience, on the subject of the ‘‘ Freedom of Speech.” He con- tended that the Roman Catholic religion was an- tagonistic to such freedom. He entered at length into the subject of the late Canadian riots, and con- cluded his address by adverting to an attempt lately made by the Roman Catholics of this State to procure the enactment of a law by which the Roman Catholic bishops will be entitled to vest in them- selves, and transmit to their successors, the exclusive control of the Church property, which he believed it was the duty of every true republican to resist to the utmost as subversive of all freedom. The grave and the gay, the fashionable and the unfashionable, the merchant and the mechanic, the millionaire and the laborer, no matter how warm the weather may be, will be sure to attentively pe- ruse the piquant description we to-day give of the Cadets’ Ball at West Point. It was an elegant affair. A highly interesting legal argument yesterday took place in the Court of General Sessions relative to the right of Aldermen, since the passage of the amended charter, to occupy a position as Associate Judges in that court and the Court of Oyer and Ler- miner. The District Attorney contended that any action taken by the Court with the Aldermen as As- sociate Judges, would be null and void, and that they would be subjecting themselves to an action for false imprisonment if they proceeded to pass sentence on the Tammany Hall rioters, who were in attendance to receive the judgment of the Court. No Sunday Man, It appears that the Postmaster-General finds himself relieved from all responsibility in re- Jation to the continuance of the Sunday mail between this city and Boston the President of ihe New York and New Haven Railroad Com- pany having positively refused to contract for that service, even if desired by the Post Oilice Department. There has been a good deal of unnecessary scitement on this subject among some of the good people of Counecticut. and we have no doubt much of it has grown out of a partial misunderstanding of the matter. People have been asked to sign remonstrances against rua- ning the mail trains on the Sabbath supposing, no doubt, that the entire day is taken for that purpose. whereas it was never intended by the Department to have the mails leave Boston and New York at an earlier hour than six o'clock, P. M., while eight o’clock would be preferred by the Postmaster-General, if the railroad compesies could make that hour as coa- venient for themselves. Leaving here as early as six o'clock, the train would not pass through New Haven (where the strongest opposition comes |from) before say nine o’clock in the evening. Now we ask, are not these complaints somewhat unreasonable, when the immense ad- vantages of the Sunday night mails to the mer- interests of New York and Bostoa are considered? And what are some of those ad- vantages? This city is interested, for instance, in this wise-—An English steamer arrives in Boston on Saturday evening or on Sunday. The mails, by the present arrangement, are in New York in time for the delivery of the letters on the opening of the Post Office on Monday morn- ing, and all mails for places south of New York | go forward by the early train on the samg morning. Without the Sunday evening mail from Boston, the same letters would not he de- livered, many of them, before Tuesday morn- ing, or just twenty-four hours after the present delivery, the southern cities of course, especial- ly Philadelphia, suffering the same delay. Now t is a well known fact that the Boston steam ers arrive on Saturday night or Sunday, oftener han at any other time. and before the Sunday evening trains were put on the Postmaster General was compelled. by the urgent demands of the business men, and on pain of being assailed cantile as wanting in enterprise and a due appreciation of the wants of the community, to run an ex- press at a heavy expense as often as a foreign mail arrived too late for the regular convey ances on Saturday. And this he will have to do again, if the Sunday evening trains are haul- ed off; and if the railroad companies refuse to | run expre when required we have no doubt public opinion will not sustain them in such a course, We have only alluded to the foreign mail via Boeton, but the same remarks will apply to the advantages gained by Boston and other Eastern places, whenever a foreign or Califor- nia steamer arrives here after the departure of the mail trains for the East on Saturday. In fact, formerly, all euch mails and the Southern mails also. had to lie over in New York unti yy eday morning, making, for all practical busi- nese purposes, twenty-four hours difference in the time of delivery of the letters in Boston. The intermediate cities, such as Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Springfield, Worcester, &c., are also benefitted in due proportion, and gain material advantages by the present ar- rangement, For ourselves we can see no real inconve- nience or disadvantages from running these Sunday evening trains. that can be urged by an enlightened, fair-minded citizen of sufficient weight, to.cause the Post Office Department to give up its laudable efforts to meet the wants of the business public, This is the motive and the only one which Judge Campbell is governed by in this matter, and we are sure that if we are to lose the important benefits of the Sunday evening mails, the responsibility will rest else- where than on his shoulders. Hints To tHe Next SovrHERN ConvENTION.— In accordance with our usual custom we sent @ special reporter to Memphis to report the pro- ceedings of the great Southern Convention which assembled there on the 6th instant. This piece of enterprise was attended with considera- ble expenge, but it is almost needless for us to inform the public that we are never withheld by pecuniary considerations in such cases. We have published the report of three days pro- ceedings in full, devoting nearly two pages or twelve columns to it, and this morning we pre sent our readers with the report of the doings of the third day. The irregular manner in which we have been obliged to publish them is owing entirely to our defective postal arrangements, and the want of direct communication between the principal northern and southern cifies, Our reporter left New York on the 26th of last month and did not arrive in Memphis till the morning of the 5th instant—eleven days after he started He informs us that he was delayed two days on the road. waiting for trains and steamboats. and that after he arrived he found that there wereno settled days for the departure of the mails. To this, and the want of direct communication, we attribute the irregular manner in which we re- ceived our reports. The second day’s proceed- ings arrived one day before the first, and the third day’s four days after the fourth. If this is a specimen of punctuality in the delivery of the mails, we would advise the next Southern Convention, which will meet at Charleston next year, to take the subject, into consideration. It would be well for our southern friends to have some talk with Mr. Campbell upon it, and touse their utmost endeavors in effecting a reform in the present postal arrangements. The South needs direct communication with the North as much, if not more. than “ direct steam communication” with Europe. The loss to the trade ard commerce of the whole country by the delays of which we have spoken, must amount to an immense sum yearly, and would doa great deal towards the construction of the much desired Pacific Railroad. Let us settle one thing at first; for if we attempt to do too many things at once we are afraid the result will be nil. The construction of the Pacific and Tehuante- pec Railroads is very desirable, and so are the other important matters before the Con- vention—the navigation of the rivers of South Ameriea. &c.—but let us attend to things which are of more immediate importance to both the North and the South, before we engage in the performance of such an immense programme as the late Southern Commercial Convention has presented to the country. Let the great rivers of the South be rendered easy of navigation, by the removal ot snags and other impediments. which at present endanger the lives of all who float upon them, and de- stroy an enormous amount of property every year. Construct railroads without number, for we never can have too many—they are the great commercial links which bind more closely together the political Union of the States ; establish Common Schools, they are the true bulwarks of our liberty and independence; ma- nufacture your own cotton, and establish a continental depot at Charleston, Baltimore, New Orleans, Paton Rouge, or wherever you think best; but don’t forget what is of more direct con- sequence to the interests of the whole country. Vaxpersi.t’s Yackt anp Joun Buri.—The article which we published yesterday from the London Express, is proof positive that Vander- Dilt’s steam yacht. the North Star. has put John Bull into another solid. hard thinking. brown study. He admires the ship—it is wonderful— it is admirable and truly the Americans are a wonderful and admirable people. We old fogies of England aretalling behind-hand. Oar social system is wrong-—-too much of aristocracy, caste, aud miserable distinctions among us— they tie us down hand and foot—we can’t go ahead like Brother Jonathan. Such confessions from John Bull. prove that he is convinced that some things can be done as well as others. He may rail against our Southern slavery—- he may give fétes to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and grand morning concerts at three o'clock in the afternoon to the Black Swan—he may afiect to hold up his head like the self righteous Pharisee, and thank God that he is not like other men ; but it won't do. The sail- ing yacht America. the Collins steamers, and the Vanderbilt steam yacht, are palpable things. He can’t get round them, and he can’t get by them. We are plainly mastering this same old self-conceited John Bull upon his own elyment. We are usurping his dominion of the seas. He is slow to confess. but con- fesses honestly at last, that the mischief lies in the political and social institutions of England, which stifle the native energies of untitled genius and enterprise. and cast the nation prostrate at the feet of an idle and corrupt aristecracy. Very soon we shall expect to hear of a similar moral effect produced by the clipper ship, ** the Sovereign of the Seas,” at London. And thus, with our superior ships, by sails and by steam. peace or war, we shall before long entirely convince old Mr. Bull that the Yankee nation is a power in the earth. Go ahead. MicuiGan anp THE Marve Liquor Law.— The people of Michigan, by a majority of ten housand, more or less, have decided in favor of he Maine Liquor } They have doubtless sufiered a great deal heretofore from the moet contemptible Indian corn whiskey, and hence their revenge. But if they abide by the law religiously, it will somewhat increase the ship ment of breadstuffs by the Erie Canal. Hence the wisdom of the Canal enlurgement. But what is the trouble in our Legislature? Have they been waiting for rain? Quire Provisar—The extraordinary and diversified industry of the Legislature at Al- bany during the last three days. Such pa- triotiem, perspiration and speeches, deserve to be their own reward, Yes. Progress or Catirorwta.—Times in Cali- fornia are getting dull and common-place. Our last intelligence from that country, so far from being garnizghed with the usual startling va- rieties of a frontier commonwealth in a state of fusion, is destitute of floods, or fires, or riots, or Lynch executions, or Indian forays. We have nothing but the continued and steady working of the mines. and the general forward movement of the State in commerce, agricul- ture, and all sorts of industrial enterprises. Let us hope that Judge Lynch’s vocation is gone in California—that the necessity for slaughtering the Indians has ceased—that the horse thieves have been extirpated—that law and order are permanently established, and that the gold mines may hold out till richer ones are discovered in the building of the Pa- cific Railroad. No use in talking. We must go on. A Crven Inriictiox—One of our blanket cotemporaries yesterday morning gave us a lengthy editorial rehash of the statistics of the fishing grounds. We pronounce that deliberate cruelty with the thermometer verging upon a hundred on the second floor. There may be some excuse in the suggestive fogs of New- foundland, the icebergs of Labrador, and the cooling tides of the Bay of Fundy, but whole columns of codfish statistics for such weather as that of yesterday—it was a cruel infliction for a leader. Hold up. A Trve Harp SHeit.—Mr. Cooley, in his course against certain gubernatorial soft shell appointments, has proved himself a downright valiant hard shell, true and trusty. Let him keep up the fire. A little leaven, if well rubbed in. may yet leaven the whole lump. And as the original demoralization of the democratic party commenced at Albany, there should its reformation begin also. Mr. Cooley is a true hard shell. Mr. Cooley willdo, especially waen the mercury is 95°.

Private advices from California, received per Crescent City, represented a slight improvement ia flour, which wan selling et $10 25 a $10 50, while pork continued de- pressed—mess selling at $2150, and clear at $23, to arrive. Butter was at 33c. The repurts from most of the mineral districts continued to be favorable for diggers. The statement given by the Consul-General of the Netherlands, regardicg the supply of salt at Bousixe, was referred to. A Netherlands merchant stated that the yield had been uncommonly fine and good; and it was stated, through the Consul, that the price would be fixed at 20c. per bushel. The yield at most other salt islands, inelnding Turks Island, &e , had been large the present season, owing to the favorable state of the weath A large quavtity of West India salt was consumed in curing fich, particularly ccd and mackerel. The former was caught in ample abundance on our own coast, while the British waters contained the best mackerel fishery. Jt was only this kind of fish which was affected ip its yield by the English fishing troubles. The supply was materially reduced last year, and was likely to fall short again the pressnt season, thereby, to some extent. leasen- Ang the demand for West India salt, which was likely to rule at lower rates. . The proposition for securing the site of the Brick Church for the location of the Assay Office, was favorably received.

JONKS, LATE OF THE NATIONAL THEATRE—THE PROCESSION—BIOGRA- PHY OF THE DECEASED. ‘Yesterday afternoon the remains of the late Mr. W. G. Jones tragedian, formerly of the National Theatre, and who died on Monday, the 20:h instans, of bronchitis, were taken for interment to Greenwaod Cemetery, Pre- viously to the performance of this last melancholy office by the friends of the deceased, the corpse of the defunct dramatist was laid out in state, at his late residence in the Bowery at the corner of Ho-ter street.

Comzexs’s Horet, Wast Per) June 20, 1863 The Ball at Cozzens's Hotel—Cadets—Oficers of the Army and Navy—Civilians—Description of the Ladics—The Supper—A Practical Joker, and a Practical Joke— dc., dco I promised to give you some account of the ball, at Coz- zene’s Hotel, of last Friday evening. But so large apropor- tion of the company were strangers, that it is dificult to make my description very fuil and particular. It was only a few days ago that the ball was determined upon ‘The graduating class of Cadets thought it would be a very appropriate celebrution of the happy termination of their four years’ residence at West Pint. With their usual promptness, the Messrs. Cozzens were ready at the short notice that was sllowed them, sofar as providing an ample entertainment went; but “There’s many a slip betwixt cup and lip,” and after Friday evening had been fixed upon as the time, a slight circumstance threateced to reader necessary either to postpone the ball, or to have it without the com pany of the Cadets. They had passed the ordeal of the pretzacted examination in their studies, and had come off with flyiog colors; but @ pesitive regulation of the institution requires that previously to recely- ing their diplomas, the cadets shal! pass before a Medical Bosra, covsi-ting of three surgeons of the navy, who shall inspect them to see that they are physically qual” ified to be officers in the army. Doctors Cuyler and Sim- mons, of West Point, and Dr. Wright, of Carlisle Sar- racks, Pa, had been devailed by the Secretary of War for that duty; but up to Friday morning Dr. Wright bad not arrived. What was to be done? Culonel Lee, the Buperinteudent, would not take the responsibility of re- Neving them for the evening.
