Republican simplicity is all very well; we approve and like to see it practiced. But republican dignity is an equally essential requisite for our ambassadors. Not moral dignity alone, which too frequently fails to be appreciated. and is only discerned by the calm eye of the historian; but that dignity which is derived from externals, and which, though fictitious and deceptive, if youy will, im- poses, nevertheless. on the crowd, and p produces an impression on the world at large. Dinners, balls and pageants are to the philosophic ob- ferver poor enough child’s play; flue dresses and fine eating are, in his view, unworthy the consideration of a reasoning man. But the man ot the world. who after all is the safest guide in such matters. will tell us that all these | trivialities constitute @ most important whole; | that a reputation for hospitality and profuse expenditure is neither despicable in itself nor inefficacious in diplomacy; and that money expended in outward show and lar- gees is very often placed interest. Custom has in fact obliged our foreign representatives to entertain largely; their table is open both to their own countrymen and to those foreigners whose goodwill it is politic to obtain, and whose services may be of use to our country. Unfortunately. the law has not kept pace with the practice; and while we grumble it our foreign ambassadors fail in the duties which usage thus prescribes, we. who ought to | provide them with the means of discharging them, leave them to supply the deficit in our liberality from their private funds. Private cur- porations, who may serve in gnore than one particular as a model for the great corporation of government, have long since discovered that it is short-sighted policy to pay their officers poorly. They have been well taught that the embarrassments of the agent reflect upon the company—that a beggarly economy of a few dollars really costs as many hundreds. The rule is not confined to these : governments, as The continuation of the list of acts passed during | well as railroad companies, suffer if their agents the session of the Legislature, which closed on Thurs- day evening, will be found on another page. Since the assembling of the Legislature in January last more than six hundred new laws have been append- ed to the statute book, of which two hundred and sixty-one were adopted at the regular, and overthree hundred and fifty at the extra session. We have are reduced to straits or fail to make a credit- able figure in the world. We repeat it. ano- ther year must not be allowed to elapse without a practical recognition of this obvious truth. Our diplomatic salaries must be increased to such a scale that wealth shall not be the main elsewhere expressed our views concerning some of | test for office. and our ambassadors shall not the more important-of these enactments; but there is ne feature to which it may not be out of place to allude here. Two days after the legislative bodies were re-convened by Governor Seymour, they took a recess of nearly six weeks. Shortly after re-assem- bling, another recess was taken, which lasted several days, for the purpose of enabling the mem- bers to visit Niagara Falls. Now, a large number of the members of the Assembly claim that they are entitled to full pay, re- gardless of recesses and holidays, from the 15th of April to the 21st of July. The Senate, it qill be re- eollected, cut down the appropriation tor legislative expenses, in the Suppiy bill, to thirty thousand dol- lars, which sum would have remunerated the mem- bers for the actual work performed; but the As- sembly insixted that the sum should be fifty thousand, and, with the understanding that the presiding offi- cers of both houses would refuse to sign certiticates forwork alleged to have been performed during recess, the Senate agreed to the larger sum. Since then, it is repo ted, some of the Assemblymen have declared that they will have pay for the entire period; and that, should the late Speaker refuve to sign their certificates, they will appeal to the judiciary, and stand a suit atlaw. The money is waiting for them; but can they manage to get it? We shall see. ‘A despatch from Washington announces the ap- pointment of Mr. D. S. Gregg as Commissioner to the Saniwich Istands. The nomination of Hon. Jobn A. Dix to tbe vacant mission to Frauce, it is reported, will not be made till after the Angust elec- tions. It is understood that the suspension is owing to strong representations from the South. The diffi culties between the Rochester hard and soft shell aspirants to office will be investigated next week. The Mississippi Whig Convention has nominated Francis M. Rogers as the candidate for Governor Among the resolutions adopted by the convention, was one denouncing the nations! administration for the appointment of free soilers to office. Hon. Alex. H. Stephens has come ont as an inde- pendent candidate for Congress, in Georgia. In connection with letters from China, London and Paris, and other entertaining foreign intelligence, we to-day publish some very interesting translations of articles from French journals—one giving a political, geographical, and statistical statement of the condition of the Danubian Principalities, which now occupy 80 important a position in Huropean policy ; and two in reference to the New York Ex hibition of the industry of all nations. They are worthy of attention, and will repay perusal. We bave received our files of the Bermuda Royal Gazette, dated down to the 5th instant. The jour pals do not contain any local West Indian news which is cither interesting or important. We pub lish some of the latest items regarding the position and success of the whaling ficet. By @ recent arrival from Santa Fe, we learn that Gov. Trias bad withdrawn the Mexican troops from see themselves surpassed by the agents of every other country. At the came time, the reform need not be wholly one-sided. That we fail in fulfilling our duty to our representatives is clear enough ; but it is hardly less obvious that we are repaid in our own coin, and that the ambassadors of the United States have hitherto di-charged their functions most negligently. Brilliant ex- ceptions to the rule may be cited; but we are running small risk of contradiction when we aseert that in general, American diplomatic agents have bestirred themselves less actively and rendered fewer substantial services to their country than the emissaries of any other nation It has been too common for our diplomatists to regard newspaper fame and popularity as the chief prize to be won during a foreign mis- sion. They have too often rested their claims to public gratitude on the democratic tone of their despatches. and the declamatory style in which they have asserted the inviolability of their fellow-citizens and the greatness of the Union. These recommendations possess doubt- less. a certain weight; buat there are others to which an ambassador misht appeal with more truth and confidence, which our envoys have generally disregarded. The fundamental duty of a foreign ambassador is to oversee the relations existing between his own country and the nation to whose court he is accredited. He is not only bound to extend the national flag over his fellow countrymen abroad, but is obliged. by every consideration of wis- dom and prudence to make it his special duty to become perfectly familiar with the course of the commercial and political relations existing between bis home and the State where he re- sides. If inequalities exist—it his countrymen as a body do not enjoy the same privileges abroad as foreigners possess here—our represen- tative ought to note the fact, and do what in him lies to have the balance adjusted. It does not rest with him to suggest to foreign powers the necessity of repealing laws which present this unfairness ; but he ought. and if he is conscien- tious he will, represent their tenor to his go- vernment, and will fortify the representation with full details of their practical working. Here it is that we discover the negligence of our am- bassadors. Had they discharged their duty. we should now have possessed several dozen volumes of statistics, without any fine writing or declamation, on the relations of the United States with foreign countries. We should have the Meseilla Valley, in pursuance of an order from | known exactly how American vessels and his government. Consequently, all was quiet in New Mexico. Gov. Meriwether and Gen. Garland were met on their way out, the one to assume the duties of territorial governor, aud the latter to take command of the irvops. The Indians appear to have been quite peaceably disposed of late ; nevertheless, we observe theta lurge meeting was recently he'd at Banta Fe for the purpose of me- morializing Congress to remove the aborigines from the territory. Ex-Gov. Paine, of Vt, who recently proceeded to Texas for the purpose of ussisting in the selection o, a route for the Atlantic and Pacific Mailroud, was at last accounts lying at the point of death at Waco. The firemen of New Haven, with their numerous invited guests, Including the three companies from this city, had a splendid procession yesterday.

American merchandise are received abroad, and in what particulars foreigners arriving here are placed in a superior position to Ame- ricans dealing with foreign States. It would not have been left for the press to point out the unequal laws which press so heavily oa our merebants and our mercantile mea. We refer more especially in these remarks to France. There, as our merehants kuow, iquitous exactions are practised on oar vessels. and grievous duties imposed apon our produce. French ships and Freauch manuiactnres are re- ceived here almort on the same footing as our ewn, We do all we can to encourage the French to come io our ports; they purane a diametrically opposite policy, and seem beut on driving us from their shores.

It is long since we were able to record a similar day’s work. So many days and weeks hive been squandered in personal bickerings, fruitless debate and unpro- fitable speeches, that the news of eight or nine hours spent in the actual transaction of busi- ness and making of laws excites as much aston- | ishment as pleasure. Idleness has been s0 firmly established as the rule that an excep- tional burst of industry takes us all by sur- prise. There was such a burst, however, on Thursday last. and both Senate and Assembly did their best to make their peace with the | people by condensing a ten days task into as many hours. Nor was the haste with which the public business was transacted accompanied by the errors, or (with one exception) produc- tion of the omissions to which legislative hur- ry generally gives rise. Nearly all the great bills were carried, and, contrary to the usual practice, no measure directly hostile to the public interest was smuggled through in the | confusion. From whatever point we view them. the proceedings of the last day’s session | are in the highest degree satisfactory. In the first rank of the important measures which owe their enactment to the extra session | stands the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com- pany charter. Though nominally a private undertaking. it is in re a public work of the highest moment. In fact. we may well look upon this, the first actual step towards the union of San Francisco and New York, as an event of national signiti- cance. Should the company be as successful in their application to Congress for aid aa they have been in their dealings with the State Le- gislature, we may fairly expect to see ground broken before many months elapse, and those who read these lines to-day may ere long tra- verse the central deserts of America at the rate of thirty miles an hour. We have no wish to conceal the obvious difficulties of the enterprise: difficulties not arising out of natural obstacles alone, but to be confidently expected from apathy. discouragement and fickleness among the public. Nor have we any desire to lend our aid to the establishment of a new fancy stock for Wall street. Still, fully, and, we trust conscientiously viewing all the impediments that can reasonably be anticipated— thoroughly appreciating the improper purposes wuich the hew stock may serve—we are firmly persuaded that the Legislature achieved a useful work in chartering the company, and not less confident that, if the right men are placed at its head, the railroad will be promptly constructed. New York may very possibly congratulate herself hereafter on having been the first State to take up this gigantic euterprise. Next in importance—if indeed second—is the final settlement of the canal question. What- ever omissions be chargeable on the Legisla- ture—however great the waste of the public money in fruitless discussions on the subject— the hopeful fact, that henceforth the canal en- Jargement will cease to be & political issue, atones for them all. Twice the cost of the extra session would have been cheap for a definite prospect of the cessation of party squabbles about canals, and of unbridled corruption among their administrators. The Tax and Toll Dill, imposing a tax of three quarters of a mill in addition to the pre- sent quarter of a mill, on all taxable property, has also become a law. If by this means the existing debts of the State will be paid, and its credit raised at home and abroad, the measure will meet with general approbation. But to advocate its adoption on the ground that a le- gitimate fear of repudiation prevails is to insult the understanding of every citizen of New York. Mr. D. B. Taylor has carried his Ten Hoar bill. Under its provisions the working day ot workmen, and mechanics in manufacturing es- tablishments, is held to be ten hours in length. This involves no interference between employer and workman as it is still at the option of both parties to agree that the day shall be longer The law only applies to the eases where no such stipulation shall have been made. To this City the bills authorising the estab- lishment of public parks oa the sites kaown as the Central Park and Jones’ Woods are proba- bly of more importance than the two latter | measures, It is not without a feeling of pride | that we look back upon the share the press has had in the advocacy of these parks. Without the persevering appeals which have been made during the past three months by the journals of this city th» people may rest assured that a committee would never have been appointed. We need hardly remind our readers that our exertions were wholly devoted to the open- ing of the Central Park, Regarding Jones’ Woods in the light of a rival whose claims,though far interior to those of the Central Park, might very possibly result in occasioning the loss of both, we felt it our duty to expose the wide dis- parity between the two sites, and to set our whole energies to work to secure the grant of the most eligible. We have been entirely suc ceseful. The Central Park is gained. To add to our good fortune, the bill appropriating Jones’ Woods bas also passed ; and we need not fay that none rejoice more sincerely at the fact than ourselyes. We would rather have park than none, two than one, six thaa two. Mr W. Taylor deverves well of his couatry for the persevering cuergy with which he has pushed the Railroud Accident law through the Assembly. Much opvosition. we are told, was made to ita passage. We are not surprised ab it. This is not the first tine on record that monied institutions have kept at bay the whole sense of the State.

Finally. to sum up the catalogue. the Maine Liquor law has been lo:t by two vutes. After this division there would be affectation in deny- ing the prospect of its becoming a law next ses- sion. Events clearly point that way. Ameri- can liberty it seems, has become irksome. We require a dash of despotism to give a savor to life. We have had too much happiness too much comfort; let us try to curtail our enjoy- ments. Let us commence by cutting off our grog. Once accustomed to this. the temperance party will effect a junction with the Grahamites, and butcher’s meat will be excommunicated. Feather beds and sofas will probably follow and segars and tobacco will be placed beyond the pale of the church. All these, and other luxuries, are undoubtedly prejudicial to the vigor of the human frame ; if once we begin to regulate the health of individuals by law, con- sistency will require us to proscribe them, and it is impossible to say where we may stop. Who knows but hereafter it may be a statutory ofleace to be convicted of diarrhoea ? Tur Beaver Istanp Mormons.—The colony of Mormons established on Beaver Island, in Lake Superior, under Strang. their High Priest, are in a fair way of experiencing the fate of the grand establishment which. a few years ago. under Smith the Prophet, was first expelled from Missouri, and secondly from Illinois, and driven into the wilderness by force of arms. If half the accusations laid against Strang and the community of Beaver Island be true. the bloody resistance there the other day to the Mormon authorities, however unlawful. is not to be won- dered at. Nor shall we be surprised if we next hear of the involuntary movement of Strang & Co.. men and women and children, en route to the Great Salt Lake. But even there the pros- pect of an enduring place of refuge is small, for, from the last accounts, official and unofficial, a terrible war is raging at the headquarters of the saints between Governor Young. who only claims to have received the mantle of the founder of the Church, and Brother Gladden, who, like Mathias, modestly sets himself up as the Saviour of mankind in tuedisguise of a Yankee. Strang and his colony, too form an offshoot from the central church. although stern necessity may drive him and his backsliders back again to the despotism of Governor Young. At all events, the Beaver Island community will be shortly compelled to evacuate. by ne- gotiations or by war, or else they must speedily abandon or modify their social institutions and usages to those of the community around them. Hemmed in by mountains, and deserts, and In- dians, a thousand miles or more on every side, the saints at the Salt Lake may multiply and replenish the earth for years tocome. But they must be united among themselves. and adapt themselves at least to a show of respect for the constitution and laws of the United States, or they will sooner than they desire. be dispersed even from their city of Jerusalem, and their fate will be that of the ten lost tribes of Israel. Ex- perience is a hard teacher, The poor Mormons have had some hard lessons. Strang has been receiving another, and the worst yet awaits him. Let him retreat to the Salt Lake, and his case may do some good. even to the head of the church. The industry and energy of the Mor_ mons are worthy of all praise. Their preserva tion through the exercise ot these virtues ap- pears miraculous ; but unless they can respect the laws and usages of civilized society their only safety is among the Indians. Strang had letter move westward as fast as he can. A Lovina Pair or Brotiers—Democratic Harmony.—The most striking example of har- mony among the “ reorganized democracy” is the exalted and magnanimous brotherly affec- tion at present existing between the Albany Argus, the organ of the “Old Guard,” and the Al- bany Atlas, the oracle of the Buffalo platform, free soil. soft shell faction. The Argus, in re- lation to the late proceedings of the Democratic State Committee of this State. employs this ami- able and fraternal language in behalf of the free soilers, of whom and whose cause the Atlas is the defender:— 1t will be seen that because the State Committee preferred to promulgate as its own the doctrines aud principles of the natioual democracy, as proclaimed at Baltimore, and reiterated in the inaugural, aad to do this in the identical languaye of the inaugural, a3 embodied in the series of resolutions introduced by Mr. D. B. Taylor, in the Assembly, and adopted by that body, the free soil members of the committee, following the lead of the free soil members of the Houre when brought to the test of a vote on them, shrank from the ordeal and left the room in which the committee were as-cmbled. The scene was a re- petition, though ona smaller scale, of the “ stampede of the Buffulces’ in the Assembly, led = by the Speaker, a short time before, and adds, oasible, signiticance and importance to that membre ie “show of Leels,” instead of haids, ou the cardinal points of fuith and practice with which the democracy of the Union and the democratic administration stand idea- tified befure the country. This is beautiful, and to the point. But the Atlas is even more direct in its compliments to the incorrigible hard shells. Speaking of a little domestic difficulty in the family, the organ of Martin Van Buren and the Buffalo platform says that the Argus “ proposes to bolt next fall in case our excellent Comptroller (Wright) should be renominated;’” Wut that its “ bonds will find no backers,” that its promises and pledges are not to be relied upon, and that It is willing to come out openly for the whig can didate. There is no doubt of that. The recoliection of past favors from the administration of Huat & Co is wweet to its soul. Tt detests the administration of Gov. Scymonr equally with that of Presi lent Pierce ard would like to vent its spite opeuly. Bat the whir clique who nhs subsidized it will not «let it show its hand. They have not coutracted with it as a whiz paper, but as am ostensible democratic paper Now. between the music respectively of these two harmonious democratic organs at Albany we should like to know, first. which is the re- cognized organ of the administration at Wash- jnyton. the vidas or the 4rgus?—and, secondly, what may we expect as the results of this love among the brethren in the fall eleetion and, th'rdty, what is the Washington Union about te permit such family jars at Albany? They tiuet be speedily reetified, or there will be a precious row among the brethren in November. wud a dreadful amount of bolting.

CasTie GARDEN OrzRa.—‘' Dom Giovanni” is not an opera to be lightly undertaken. Popular as several of the airs have become, as a whele the masteroiece of operas requires to be heard several times, and to be studied with eare, before a full appreciation of its beauties ie attained. Every detail is so perfectly elaborated that asingle negligent or incompetent singer, a single weak part in one of the trios or quatuors, will convey a felre impresrion to the hesrer’s mind, and go a long way to destroy the effect of the whole. The «lightest inscou racy or want of eonfideoce on the part of the orshestra will mar the magvificent instrumectation. It is probably the finest opera, in & dramatic as wellas io a musica point of view, on the modern lyric stage; bat it ix, at the ‘ame time, one of the most diffic .lt to cast, and i+ more frequently murdered by injudicious manegers and iguor. apt performers than any other we can think of.
