The News. By telegraph we bave a very complete synopsis of Wheee days later Evropein intelligence. brought to Hilifax by the steamer America. Ow.ng to the late- mess of the hour at which the news was received ever the wires last night, we have only time to re- mark that the Ra-so-Turki-h question had again as" gamed a viry serious aspect, although the Czar's smawer to the proposition of England, France, &c., eeuld not be known till the 10th or 12th inst. That Bassia is determined to retain possession of the Danubian provinces there can be little doubt; but whether the French amd English fleets will advance ‘as is threatened, remains to be ascertained. Both the belligerent nations continue their warlike gveparations, and alarge number of French field officers were on their way to join the Turkish cause. Austria, it is reported, is unwilling to profit by the advice of the Emperor of Russia to settle the Koszta affair as easily as possidle, but, on the contrary, is determined to demand reparation trom the United States. The British Parliament had been engaged im adjusting the colonial difficulties, and appointing a new Governor for Jamaica. The cholera was making sad havoc is Denmark, Persia, and else- where. Furtber discoveries of conspiratory move- ments among the higher classes had created con- Siderable sensation in Italy. The Liverpool cotton market had declined upon the receipt of the last in- telligence from the Fast, which appears to have also Materially affected other branches of commerce. Money was scarce and in great demand at London. Our special Albany correspondent has furnished a graphic report of the first day’s proceediags in the High Court of fmpeachmeat, in the case of Canal Commissioner Mather. ‘The statement that Col. Gadsden, our new Minis- ter to Mexico, had been instructed to consent to the relinquishmest of the Garay claim to the right of way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, is doubted im well informed circles in Washington, as is also the assertion that this government is willing to accept, as an equ’ ut, a free route for a railroad along the thirtysecond parallel. The general impression is ‘that the administration will await the reception of the cfficial information collected by the different par- ties engaged in exploring the country for a railroad route to the Pacilic, prior to committing itself to apy particular line, either in our own or Mexican territory. Our special correspondent remarks that the official despatches concerning the Kozta affair are be Seved to covfirm the announcement already made in ‘exe columns, that the Austrian government had no Jegal claim upon that person whatever. That coun" try had expatriated, and thus cancelled all nght to @is person, before he reached the United States. A former decision of the Prussian Minister furnishes an excellent precedent for this view of the case. The delay in establishing tbe United States Assay office in this city is said to be owing to the fact that the offers of the Treasury Department for the proper iting up of the establishmeut have been neglected. Capt. Gibson, the account of whose imprisonment by the Dutch at Sumatra has created so much sen- sation throughout the country, had a long interview at the State department yesterday. It is thought, eays our corre:pondent, that, es Mr. Belmont, our Consul to the Hugue, has made his preparations to eave on Saturday, any further instructions necessary to be given in the case of Capt. Gibson will be sent aut by the next steamer. Read the highly interest- ing letters, elewhere given, which have recently passed between a large number of our leading citi zene and Mr. Belmont, in which the latter gentieman declines the honor of a public dinner. The commission sent out to Mexico to look after Dr. Gardner's mines, having returned to the United Btates, the Criminal Court at Washington yesterday allowed the motion for the trial of the case to be get down for the frst Monday in December. On the 10th inst., the spe:ial Washington corres- pondent of the Herap telegraphed us that the steamer Allechany would shortly be ready ‘fur sea, and, if it was found that she was likely to answe the purpose, would probably convey Mr. Walker to China. This information was bodily appropriated some days after, by a Norfolk paper, and was sub- sequently transmitted, by telegraph, to this and other cities, 2s an important piece of “ Norfolk news.’’ Even the supposed organ of the admiais- tration, the Union, copied it yesterday morning, although the fact was known in that city at least a week before. It thus appears that the Charleston are not the only newspapers that are slightly behind the spirit of the age. We elsewhere give some additional intelligence of the ewful effects of the recent warm weather, and the thunder storm on Sunday night. It is gratify ing to state that no new cases of san stroke have oc- curred within the last two days, although the coro ners were kept exceedingly busy yesterday in attend fing to the remainder of the fatul caxes which ocearred on Raturday ard Sunday. Inquest» were held apon fifty-four bodies, A large number of persons were either killed or injured, and a reat amount of pro- perty was destroyed, east and north of this city, by the lightning on Suaday evening. ‘“wo hundred persons are reported to have died at Bew Orleans last Sunday. The total onmber of deaths in that city during the week ending on Satar. day was fifteen hundred, of which twelve handred and thirty were from yellow fever. Ample details ef the ravages of the dreadfal scourge may be found in another column. Late papers from St. John, N. B., announce the oss of two vessels. On the 26th alt. the new ship dwar!

Four thousand Americans, led by an able gene- ral, would we need hardly say, succeed, where Lopez failed. Once landed in Cuba, all the Spanish forees that Canedo could rally. would not hold asingle fort against them. Anda very moderate degree of skill and precaution would enable them to avoid the fleet, which, though sufficiently powerful. perbaps, in the present condition of our navy, to blockade all our At- lantic ports, could easily be out-mancuvred by a few Yankee steamers on the Cuban coast. It will be well for our government to see to the matter. It behooves the President to sup- press promptly these illegal organizations, and to guard against the fresh stain of a second filibustero expedition. We trust he willevince the energy and nerve requisite for the task. At the came time. neither the government nor foreigners must be allowed to shirk the clear conviction that Cuban filibusterism is a hydra which it will require ages of vigilance and a world of trouble to exterminate. Out of the ashes of one expedition. another stronger and more determined will arise. Fresh grounds for the illegal venture will constantly spring up, while the old ones derive daily increasing importance from the folly of the Cuban authori- ties. The belief that Cuba must one day be ours. is becoming every day more and more fami- liar to the people; as time progresses less in- dignation at filibustero attempts, and more sym- pathy with their perpetrators, must be expected from the masses. These are unpleasant truths; but no man thoroughly conversant with the world can deny that they are traths. They spring directly from one of the most imperative lawy of our nature. : Would that we could believe the lesson they teach will not be lost on the administration! brick, on ‘soard the United States steamer Princeton., | We have received our file of the Singapore Bi- Girewlar, dated upon the 1ith of June. | Gold dust was being freely taken at $30 50 to $3075 | pe buueal for Australian.

Corcha’s Account of the Lopez Expedition Osgonizaven of « Fresh Filipu.tero Party. The subject of Lopez’ expedition against Cuba is not so hackneyed that the narrative which we publish in another column, from the pen of no less a personage than General Con- cha, will lack interest even for the general reader. For that large body among our citi- zeus whose sympathies were enlisted on the side either of the invaders or of the Spanish authori- ties—- for the masses who do not disguise the lively eoncern they take in all that relates to the island—the new light thrown upon the event by the ex-Governor will be extremely acceptable. To re open at the present time the vexed questions which were formerly debated with so much warmth, would be obviously inex- pedient. Most men’s minds are fully made up, both on the criminality of the attempt and on the pleas in extenuation which were urged on behalf of the vanquished—the whole affair has long since passed from the angry arena of oon- temporaneous politics into the calmer domain of history. But though time has quenched the fires of tormer days, and returning sobriety of reason has unveiled all the mistakes of that ill ad- vised movement, there are not a few deep think- ers among us who presage for the Lopez expe dition a more conspicuous, if not a more honor- able, place in the future annals of this conti- nent, than either the verdict of public opinion here, or the florid account of General Concha in Spain, have been willing to bestow. Its chief violated the law. He trampled on solemn treaties. He brought disgrace on our national character. He inflicted a grievous injury on a friendly nation. But all this he expiated most cruelly. And in view of the broad grounds of high philanthropy, on which it is fair to assume that he acted, in view of the weighty reasons which demand and will hereafter compel the dissolution of the present order of things in Cuba, to make room for a political status more suitable to its geographical and natural advan- tages, and more closely adapted to the obvious decrees of fate—it may be that the future his- torian will sum up the head and front of Lopez’ offending in the heinous charge of having been rashly in advance of his age. Hence the narrative of Concha may not seem unaptly coupled with the letter from John S. Thrasher, which appears in connection with it. The one isin some sort akey to th2 other. The consummation which the politician points out as necessary. inevitable, the soldier strove un- aided to achieve. He failed; and none wholly excuse him. But the motives of his daring en- terprise exist still; every year renders them more imperative. Year by year, the condition of the Craales becomes more deplorable; month by month, the danger of suffering the key to our southern trade to remain in the hands of Ove Forrran Popvtation—WuHere THEY Come From—Wuno THEY ARE, aNp WHERE tuEY Go.—Almost daily we record the arrival of a ship from Liverpool, Greenock. Giasgow or Cork, with a very large number of immigrant passengers on board. Every week is printed the aggregate number of arrivals—say three thousand—which would be near two hundred thousand per year. This immigration is by sea alone, and does not include the many thou- sands who land at Boston and other ports, then pass through this city to the mighty West. The great question is, where do these immi- grants go? Who hears ot them after their landing? Who cares for them? A very few perhaps remain in the city; but the great bulk of them turn their steps towards the setting sun, and help to rear a republic, the glory. the wealth, the population of which shall eclipse the glory of Rome, Greece, Assyria. Pheenicia, or the land of Omar and Haroun el Raschid. They are but as so many drops in the bucket—their language. their ideas their nationality. all mingle in that great ocean of American liberty to which the sagacity of man cannot fix a boundary. But for the sake of showing. beyond dispute, the useful character of our immigrants we have collected an analysis of the occupations and destinations of six hundred immigrant pas- sengers who arrived at this port in siip Uni- verse, Capt.

Not a vessel could pass the strait without permis- sion from the commandant of the island. Nota bale of cotton, or a barrel of breadstuffs could be exported from New Orleans, if the com- mandant of Cuba chose to close the mouth of the gulf. This prospect would induce a saga- cious American statesman to submit to insult and overlook injury, rather than plunge us into a war on such unequal terms, The closer the question is viewed, and the larger the increase of our Southern trade be- comes, the more imperative appears the neces- sity for the acquisition of Cuba. Its annexa- tion is not alone demanded by those who hua- ger for fresh territory, or by the large mass of cessary.

Upwards of two hundred deaths in one little week from sun stroke, and the effects of the sun, is a fearfal mortality, even among six hundred thousand people. But a variety of causes combined in this terrible havoc, for in addition to the extraordinary power of the sun for six consecutive days, the hardest physical labor, under the intensest concentration of the solar beams, unwholesome food, unacclimated constitutions, and those predisposed by disease, excesses in eating and drinking, and last, though not least. the dirt and trash of the city, all contribute to swell the catalogue of deaths thrown into the general charge against the intolerable fierceness of the sun. Had the poor hard laboring but unacclimat- ed sons of Erin, who make up go largely the list of the dead, knocked off work and remained idle whenever the thermometer stood beyond eighty-nine degrees, perhaps the most of them would still have been alive. But alas! poor men, they had their families to support, and their daily labor was their daily bread. To be sure, their employers might have absolved them from work for two or three hours in the hottest of the day, and there is not an employer, perhaps, in this city but would have done so had he known what otherwise would have been the result. Still we trust that some general understanding will hereafter prevent such results from con- tinued labor in the blaze of the sun, when his heat is insupportable even to the lounger in the shade. And as the important question of hu- man life is directly concerned, we should say that if there can be no general suspension of exhausting out-door labor among the employers or the employed, while the killing heat of from ninety to above a hundred is raging, there should be some legislative enactment passed to meet the emergency. And, again, the widows and orphans left destitute from the extraordi- nary fatality of last week’s awful heat, should not altogether be lost sight of by the humane and the charitable. Let not the contributions for the sufferers by the yellow fever at New Orleans fall short ; but let it also be remem- bered that the laborer here in New York, volun- tarily risking and losing his life for a dollarand @ quarter per day, may have left a widow and children without a sixpence for their immediate necessities. And from this time henceforth. we do sin- cerely trust and pray that our city fathers. or stepfathers, as the case may be. and their sub- ordinates, will provide in season against two such dreadful spells of burning, boiling. blister- ing and killing weather as we have had this summer, by a timely removal of the roughest of the dirt and trash of the city. How has it been? We have suffered through June and July. and into the middle of August, in almost every quarter ot the city, here and there and every where, from immense heaps of miscellaneous garbage. festering and fermenting in the sun, from sunken water lots. from streets hideous in their filthiness, from well-filled gutters black with their inky ‘ compound of villainous smells,’ from docks and market purlieus reeking with their accumulated animal and vegetable mat- ter; and we have had the night air rendered horribly disgusting by the effluvia of ghastly- ooking carts passing through the streets. laden with the pestilence of overflowing cesspools. Indeed. but for the superabundant rains of this season washing away a large amount of our universal filth in spite of our stepfathers, there would have been a fine harvest in readiness ere this, for the cholera, or the yellow fever. or the plague, or any other pestilence which runs riot upon corrupting garbage and malaria. The worst that could have been apprehended from the direct heat of the sun is past; but there is yet a broad margin for improvement in our weekly bills of mortality, attributable to corporation filth and the foul air it generates. We may be blest with heavy cleansing rains for aday or for several days; but while the people are taxed for it, the corporation autho- rities should not depend altogether upon Provi- dence to clean the streets. &c. Prodigious quantities of inflammatory rubbish may be re- moved at the expense of the city treasury with- out destroying the reputation of New York as the filthiest city in the United States. We are still accessible to any passing epidemic, and, with any visitation of that sort, what would be our weekly report, while now it rises to a mor- tality of six hundred from general and ordinary causes. For the sake of our fellow-citizens; for the sake of their poor children, sickening and dying by thousands; for the sake of the strangers daily pouring in upon us from every side; for the sake of appearances, even if the claims of hospitality and humanity are set aside, we his important services to the country are ac- knowledged by the gift of » large tract ef pub- lic land. Is Nicaragua resolved to play the same game with the United States as this gov- ernment is playing with Spain? It would seem so. And we must candidly admit that on the good old principle of every rule having to work both ways, there is some reason in the position taken by our Central American neighbor. Tue Great Inpian Tournament—Wuat wext ?—A marvellous story is that which was transmitted to us by telegraph from Indepen- dence. Mo., and published in yesterday’s Heraup, in which the reading public is assured on the faith of some very sagacious returned Californi- ans, that a terrible conflict, or regular pitched battle, had taken place between the Sioux, Paw- nee, and other Indian tribes. in which eight thow- sand men were engaged, and from five to six hundred killed. This is one of the very worst and most impudent Munchausenisms tbat has been palmed off on the New York press for » length of time. Some one has drawn artfully on his imagination. determined to make the most of the event, since the fact is that one tenth of the number of Indian warriors said tohave been engaged in this philanthropic measure of extermination could hardly be collected together by those tribes. However. after furnishing the statement, the reporter thought it rather difficult to be swallowed by the most confirmed gobe-mouches, as in the next paragraph he qualities it by stating that the numbers are greatly exaggerated. In this we perfectly coincide with him.

It says that There may be division in the democratic party, but the rupture will never occur agaiu on the breach that was cemented in 1849-'60. The press and par- beseech, we implore. we beg and pray all con- cerned to lend a helping hand to the cleansing of the city. Tue Nicaraguan Mriyister PLENIPOTENTIARY to THE UnitEp States.—The Nicaraguan gov- ernment would appear to entertain a very dif ferent estimate of the characters and deserts of its Minister to Washington, Senor Don Jose de Marcoleta, than that which the late administra- tion of President Fillmore held of the same gentleman, The government at Washington manifested their opinion of him by officially in- forming him that he could not be recoguized as the representative of Nicaragua; but, per cor- tra, the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Mana- gua conveys to him the following communica- tion, evincing the high value set upon his talents and services by his own government:— Government Hol ManaGua, June 30, To His Excetiency Sexor Don Jose ps Mar- COLETA, Minister Plenipotentiary of Nicaragua at Washington— The undersigned Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Nicaragua, has the honor of sending to your Excellency a printed copy of the decree No. 185, issued by the Conxress of the State, granting to your Excellency fiteen cuballer'as of land appertain- svg to the State. This present, althougn very insig- nificant, is merely a mark o! the esteem of Nicaragua towards ita worthy minister, and of its gratitude for the important services rendered by your Excellency to the country which feels proud to’ call you one ef its distinguished sons. His Excellency the General Supreme Director hopes you will accept of this small token, a8 a proot of the esteem and affection of the Nicaraguan people. ‘The ondersigued Mivister of Foreign Affairs avails himself of this opportunity to offer to your Excel- lency the sentiments of his highest consideration. MaTsO Mayoroa. There is some diplomatic difficulty here. The United States government definitely refused to recognize Mr. Marcoleta in his ministerial capacity; and yet several months after that dismiseal must have become known to his own government, he is addressed by the Nicaraguan Minister of Foreign Affairs as “Minister Pleni- potentiary of Nicaragua at Washington,” and ty are too weil united. The only two papers which openly invite divisiun, and look forward to whig as- cendancy, as preferable to democratic rule, are the Albany Argus (a paper under toe immediate ia- fluence of Mr. Seward’s friends, aud whica has re ceived profitable bouuses by that Senator’s vote,) and the National Democrat, whi:h is conducted by a toe-snapping philosopher, onve a vagrant lecturer eas ie Argus was accustumed to call ‘free ” This is comfortable; and if it may be fully relied upon, it gives some degree of plausibili- ty to the late report that the editor of the Va- tional Democrat was ready to sell out on ac- commodating terms, for the sake of peace in the family. If the two refractory organs mentioned can be bought off, we may get on smoothly. Will not the re-united democracy think of this, and do something? It may save a world of trouble at Syracuse. Mr. Secrerarny Dospin anp THE PrtrssurG Press—Licur Wantep.—A_ telegraphic des- patch having been received at Pittsburg. some time since, announcing the return of Secretary Dobbin to Washington, the news was thus an- nounced in the several morning papers of that city :— Stacy Dobbins has returned to Washington.— Journal. ne Dobbins has returned to Washingtoa.— non. 7 ke Lucy Dobbins has returned to Washington. — Gazette. Secretary Dobbins has returned to Washiagton.— Dispatch and Post. Stacy Dobbins was evidently pure guess work for we apprehend that that gentleman has yet to make his first visit. The Union. some persons will be apt to think, was pretty near the mark, and made it Lucy Dobbins on purpose, in com- pliment to the other old ladies in the Navy Department. The Lucy Dobbins signifies that the Seeretary of the Navy isa perfect steam- boat, which may be the case; but we should not think so from the speed of the Princeton war steamer, of six miles an hour, Secretary Dob- bins will do. But what has Mr Dobbin been about all this time, that even the newspapers have not yet learned how to spell his name? Let him be up and doing. War-clouds still hang over the distant East, and they are spread- ing along the South. And at such a crisis the Secretary of the United States Navy is con- founded with Lucy Dobbins! It won't do. NewsparerR Enterprise IN CHar Eston. We clip the following editorial samples from one er two of our Charleston (S, C.) ex changes :-— The steamship Isabella arrived at her wharf yes- terday morniug, prnging late and important vews from Havana. We shall look over our files of papers to-morrow. A destructive fire occurred in this city yesterday. Particulars to-morrow. An easy old fogy way of doing business, to be sure! “ We shall look over our files to-morrow,” &c. The New York hotel system has been in- troduced into Charleston ; but the press of that city stick to that old-fashioned enterprise which does nothing to-day that may be postponed till to-morrow. Once in a while, heretofore, we have detailed a special correspondent there to see what was going on; and from all that ap- pears in our Charleston papers to the contrary, we shall have to maintain the practice hereafter. It must be very hot in Charleston, when its editorial corps, in the receipt of important news, obtained yesterday, promise to look over their files to-morrow. Or do they go to bed after dinner? or how? Crymal Palace Notwithstanding the flood-gates of the skies were opened yesterday forenoon, and the city washed with rain, yet there was no apparent abatement of the rush to the “Exhibition of the Indnstry of all Nations.” ‘We were pleased to see thot a great reform has been made in regard to the waterproof qualities of the building. The rain soaked into the building in many places yesterday, but it'was quite dry, in com- parisoh with what it has been during previous rains Yesterday one could walk around the Palace, and very comfortably dispense with both overshoes and umbrella.

On Monday afternoon the Washington firemen, now on a visit to our city, visited the Palace, enter” ing it with colors flying and music playing.
