The News. ° The Atlantic, from Liverpool, arrized at this port zt five o'clock yesterday evening, after a short pas- sage of ten days and four hours, bringing our fles from London to the 24th August, with latest advices rom the continent of Enrope, China and India. ‘The English Parliament was prorogued upor Sa- tarday, August 20, by a royal message delivered from the throne by commission. The most impor tant paragraph in the document is that in which her Majesty is made to refer to the state of the East- ern difficulty, which she did by assuring the Legis- ature “ that, acting in concert with her allies, and relying on the exertion of the conferences now gssembled at Vienna, her Majesty had good yeason to hope that an honorable arrangement would be speedily accomplished.” The peace ‘idea conveyed in the address was well received both im London and Paris, in which latter city a report ‘was circulated to the effect that the Council of Con- Btantinople was disposed to recommend to the Sul- tan the acceptance of the Vienna note. Peace was Jooked upon by many as secure; but in the mean- time the forces of Russia had not received any inti- mation cf a withdrawal from the provinces; the agents of the Emperor were busy in intrigue and fomenting religious differences, and Turkey was likely to sink in consequence of the exhausted state of her finances resulting from the necessary prepa- vation of her military defences. There was a report of an instrrection in Servia, which, if it has taken place, will add to the difficulties of the Porte cabinet. In connection with this subject we would call attention to the protest of the Austrian government against the action of Captain Ingraham in the Koszte affair. The Emperor looks upon it asa clear - violation of international law, and as tantamount to @ declaration of war. The last advices represent Captain Ingraham as enjoying himself on board tae Cumberland in a dence with the Queen of Pied- mont, and seemingly quite unterrified by the pro- mulgation of the document. ‘The Indian news represents the Burmah war as @aded, and announces the proclamation of peace. The intelligence from China arnounces another @efeat of the imperial troops. They bad made an ‘effort to retake the city of Ching. Keang-Foo, and were repulsed by the revolntionists. The British order in council for the better regulation of Enaglish nffairs and the punishment of English criminals in China is very important, as the extensive powers given to the consuls and enperintendents to hear and determine causes between ber Majesty's subjects ‘and those of the Emperor will go far to establish a sort of imperium in imperio opon the convulsed ter- Titory. From Australia we give the latest reports of the | mining companies, the history of the different im- provements in the art of cold digging which were spoken of, and meny u: general items upon the events and social changes which take place in that country. We also publish Lieutenant Maury’s address “at Lloyd's, London. The continent of Earepe was very generally quiet, end nine thousand eight hundred emigrants are now on the water coming from Fuglish ports to America. The latest markets and ship news is given in this paper. ‘The letter of our Veneznela o Yourd very interesti ments against the governm ty, perhaps, the real canses: his love of money and the surrendering of the executive power hande of an irresponsibl earthoanke in Cumana » quieted the populer nearly every building name having been levelled with Nearly the whole by the Court of Ppissopal P in debating the motion to hear the « Committee of Bishop Doane's diocess. made a lengthy speech in support of the proposi- tion.

Thirty one adults died from diarrhea, thirty-four from dysentery, eighteen from the various fevers, and twe-ty-eight from in- flammatory affections. Five persons were drowned, two committed suicide, and two were killed by fractures accidentally _recetved. Forty-seven infants died of cholera infantum, twenty- five of dropsy in the head, forty-seven of marasmus, and seven of smallpox. Of the entire number one hundred and sixty-three were under one year of age, and three hundred and nineteen had not reached to ten. Three hundred and forty-nine were natives of the United States, ninety-three were from Ireland, twenty-seven from Germany, andthe remainder from other distant countries.

The ‘Temperance Convention—A Lunatic Asylum Wanted. Well, the Temperance Convention is over, and the country is safe. Lucy Stone, Garrison, Greeley, Burleigh, Rev. Antoinette Brown, Mrs. Nichols, and the host of teetotal crusaders, have by this time, it is to be hoped, reached their homes in safety, and resumed the regular rou- tine of their usual avocations. We trust they have enjoyed their holiday. We hope they will look back to the Whole World’s Temperance Convention of September, 1853, as one of those joyous merry-makings which it is pleasant in after times to contemplate by the fireside. Like the graybeards of old. who were fond of telling how the carnivals of their youth had been hon- ored with wild dance and sprightly jest, when they were Rois de ta Folie, and the apple was awarded to the maddest of the merry throng. we can fancy Mr. Burleigh, when time has shorn his Narcissus curls, delighting a group of eager grandchildren with a epirited account of the fanny doings of September. °53. We can picture Mr. Greeley—in the sere and yellow leaf-be- moaning the days when the rules of propriety were so relaxed in New York, that he and his friends could revive the ancient Saturnalia at Metropolitan Hall, ladies could openly repudiate the obligations of medesty, and brazen mounte- banks could give reins to their impudent profanations of religion and morality. For, though we trust we may never live to see the day when any man’s mouth shal) be forcibly stopped int New York, it were vain to disguise the fact that. as time creeps on, the public re- lish for such exhibitions as we witnessed last week is fast disappearing. Novelty will wear off, curiosity will be dulled—even the edge of satire will he blunted. A time is close at hand when it will need something more than an an- nouncement that ladies are to appear in short petticoats to attract an audience toa tempe- rance lecture. It is well that the teetotallers make the most of their brief carnival. What fruit they may personally reap from their melodramatic displays on the'metropolitan stage, it is not very difficult to indicate. Those emong the temperance confederates whose names are already familiar to the public as promoters of socialism, Fourierism, woman’s rights and infidelity, will hardly retrieve the character they have lost. Men who have done their worst to shake the foundations of society and spread scepticism among the people, will not regain public esteem by running 2 muck against one of the blessings with which God bas endowed his creatures. Men who have ascailed the Bible with every weapon that devilish ingenuity “could suggest, will gain little credit when they quote Scripture on behalf of teetotallism. Their public and social standing cannot he perceptibly affeeted by their recent exhibition. Horace Greeley’s character would not be injured if he burnt the Bible on the steps of the Tribune office. Nor can we suppose that the proceedings of Thursday and Friday will cover the female por- tion of the convention with any additional odium. The ladies whe, during the last year or two, have thrown off their allegiance to society and proclaimed themselves outcasts and pariahs, have already suffered the highest penalty that an outraged community can inflict, Our an- cestors were wont to nd the female delin- arlet letter; we need no such symbo} to ontlaw Lucy Stone, Lucretia Mott and Mrs. Nichols. Wer not for the publicity they eommand, we conld well leave to their punishment time. But « they do, an andi but right that we form strangers that s city would allow his late with these persons —that they 7 in every gentl2man’s family—that ¢ owe the audiences they at- tract to no other reason than idle osity. and or danghter to the singularity (te use no harsher term) of their costume. the elements of the temperance wed atheists. perfidious foes to ing socialists, unprincipied po. 1 ofa new platform whereon to rise to place. and bold women~such was the mot- ley crew which undertook, on Thursday last, to legislate for the people, not of New York, not of the United States, but of the whole world.

Thus it is called. “Call it Burgundy,” sai Boniface, of his ale, and it is worth a guinea a quart.” Men are called gentlemen, politi- cians are called statesmen, restrictive tariffs are called protection, Kossuth is called a pe- triot. Greeley a philosopher. and the vagrant consular bureau at Washington, is called a system. A system is defined to: be an assem- blage of things adjusted intoa regular whole— a union of principles, or parts, forming one en- tire thing. There are many parts in the consu- lar bureau; but there isan utter want of ad- herence of its parts. It is the human body ‘without the soul; the form without the sub- stance. In addition to what we have said on the subject, we propose further to expose its practical absurdities ; premising that such an organ for our commercial interest is an unmiti- gated disgrace to each recurring administra- tion. Perhaps in the whole range of our laws no subject is more important and interesting than that of its commercial agents. Whether we consider the interests entrusted to them or the honor of the public administration. their office is one of great delicacy and usefulness, and, rightly administered, full ef political, so- cial and commereial benefits. They go abroad as exponents of our mercan- tile interests—the guardians of our people in other lands—and with them, to some extent, is entrusted the honor of the republic. They speak for us—act for us. They are clothed with public authority, and are thus accredited, and are supposed to represent the public honor. rights and character. This is the theory of our consular representation abroad. We propose to show that it is wholly inadequate to accom- plish the end sought by ite establishment. Heretofore, we admit that neither our diplo- matic nor consular agents have had much to do in Europe. Governmental systems there have beet in antagonism to our own. They have represented the Eastern—the Asiatic principle —while we have adopted the other extreme. Europe, in the past, has borne little respect for us. She has not felt our power either in com- merce or politics. We have not been necessary toher. Her restrictive commercial system and her social aristocracy. coupled with the variety of her climates and productions, have made her a whole, independent of us and of our neigh- bors on this side of the water. Her plans of government, national and international, have been promulgated without consultation with us. We have been endured as a political power —a State de facto; we have not been con- sulted as a State de jure. Meanwhile, her population has been crowding on produc- tion, and the elements of our prosperity have worked into the web of European industry. Commerce has triumphed over , restriction, Necessity has repealed their exclusive laws. The time has come when the intrinsic power of the United States as an element of rule demands of Europea hearing. The day of our probation is past; we have reached our majority in the family of nations; our political, commercial and social interests demand that we shall he recog- nized de facto et de jure—that we shall be heard as we are felt. It is idle for conservatism longer to cultivate our imitative faculties— longer to ask us to follow and not to lead. If not the public voice, the genius an’ energy of our people—our truest exponents—de- mand that our rights, and even our prejudices and partialities, shall be respected. We occupy an advance post in civilization and govern- ment, and our power is so strengthened by geo- graphical defences and domestic productions as to be out of the way of successful assault from any quarter. . Now, in this state of our intercourse and re- lationship with other nations. how stand onr eonsular and diplomatic functions? Of the lat- ter we have little to say. The defects of the system are found chiefly in the incumbents of the various diplomatic offic Tn this light its criticism is an ungrateful task. That sagacions diplomatists do not spring up like mushrooms ina night is very certain; that an able corps can be fished out of the muddy pool of partizan strife or recommended into existence by letters from interested Congressional coteries, we have no confidence. The consular department isa very different affair. We have expressed our views ofthe importance of this branch of the civil service. It strikes us that the manner in which it is conducted isa great public evil. The responsibility rests with Congress. It isa known fact that at least four-fifths of the consuls receive neither salary nor legal fees. This has been the case since the organization of the government. Consuls have been compelled to resort to every species of means whereby to obtain a living. The consular plan being one of those self-sustaining, economical systems, altogether vagrant in its character, as usual in such cases, and withal practically irsesponsible, the incumbents have not regarded @memselves as acting under much more than a government passport ; and hence have not always felt the restraints of the theories of the system, or even the instructions of the State Department. Every consul recognizes the fact that he is commis- sioned by the President; but he does not fail to remember that the power that employs him does not pay him—that though he is acting un- der the government, yet that all he docs, for which he gete any pay, is with those whose in- terest is opposed to his government. What is the practical, the inevitable effect of sucha system? Suppose the Castom House offices of this city were to be filled with men by the Sec- retary of the Treasury, their services to be paid for by the importing merchants? Would such an arrangement fail to strike the reader as one of those monstrous incongruities which must end in disorder and frand? Yet the eon- wul is a revenue officer. He must exam- ine the quality of shipments and certify invoices. Wonld the prudent merchant employ aman in his store who would serve him for “what he could pick up round!” Have com- mercial fortunes in this city been accumulated by employing men on low salaries, reducing them to the necessity of resorting to expedients and questionable devices to gain the means of subsistence? We do not say that American Coneale abroad have acted dishonorably ; but we venture to assert that if an accurate in- sight could be obtained into the various coneu- lar offices, it would disclose a most ineougru- ous record of official actions—e record utterly disgraceful, not to the consuls so much as to the power that set in motion and sustains such amean and disgraceful system of foreign re- presentation. With donble the business and trade at Havana over Rio Janeiro, the fees of the latter office are almost twice as large as | the former. How is thi See what arrange- | ments or regniations exist between the consul | and the enstom house, and you will have tl answer. Yet et Rio the consul is well pai | it Js a desirable office, Go over 0 Honolulu | and search the records of that office. The law fixes the fee—the law governs, or ought to govern, all; yet the fees of each office vary in character from the ethers. The system is diseased; all its parts are affected. The office is irresponsible—a scramble for pay, wholly in- consistent with its dignity or its usefulness. The consul is a filibustero, treading on forbidden ground—a poacher, an unwelcome guest, the agent of a mean principal—a coachman in livery, without either horses or carriage. The system is poimijess —it has a name, a sounding title, but it has no unity—it has no purpose. As 2 commercial and political agency, charged with the protection of our maritime interests— as a means of acquiring knowledge of the va- rious necessities and productions of other peo- ple—as an auxiliary of commerce and a vigi- tant guardian of its agents—as a source of valuable information in our relations with other gevernments—it is a monstrous failure ; a de- crepid and ill-favored abortion, of doubtful cha- racter, and still more doubtful paternity. That such a system should be suffered to hang on the skirts of our commerce, and by assuming to speak for it, to discredit the assertion of its rights, through its own organs, is one of those political problems which can be solved only by attributing to Congress the grossest ignorance or the most culpable neglect of the public in- terests. The simplest form in which the defects of the system can be exhibited, is this :—the officer is employed by one man, and paid by another; his greatest labor is done for him who pays him nothing. If he is well supported, so much the greater is his dependence upon the interest that supports him; and that interest is, in theory at least, through the revenue system, in opposition to his government. To which is he likely to be most loyal and faithful? He is a judge between captain and seaman—the cap- tain pays him much—the seaman nething. We might write volumes in exposition of this branch of the public service, and not find the end of its faults and frauds. Arrival of the Crescent City.

Last night @ torchlight piosession threugh the streets ef New Yo:k waa held by the Turners of this city ia h> ror of the arrival of deputations from Pailadelphis, Bal timore and Washington. There latter bad been expected at 8 o'clock, and at that hour the merbers of the Turner Ssciety of New York went down to the Battery in order to await the ar. rival of the steamboat belonging to the Camden and Amboy Railrosd. Owing to s delay on the road the expected guests did nct arrive until after 11 o'clock; but as soon as their arrival was known, the torches of the Turners were lighted, and the strangers, marching in regular order, procesded from the pier of the Railroad Company through Battery place inside the grounds of the Battery, then parsing along the cuter walk, they issued by the side gate into State strest, where the Tarners were drawa up im a double line with two rows of lighted torches. The strangers having passed through the line, took up their places in the order of procession, which immediately marched up Broadway, surrounded by a crowd of spectators. Owing, however, to the lateness of the hour, Broad way was clear of vehicles, so that the procession shone fi to advantege, there being uothing to impede their pro gress. The line of route taken up was throngh B-oad way into Chatbam street, and from thence into ts Bo very, aloag the B:wery to Union park, and from there down Broad way ogain to National IHall, in Canal street, which wil be the headquarters of the Purners during their stay. Tiere they partook of supper, after which they re tired to their rarious lodging houces to seek the repose required. The Turners of New York who were preseat in the pro- cession numbered rome hundreds, and ineladed among their number a deputation of twenty five from Albany Two of the number, George Oberndorfer and Frederick Lutz, bad been sent as a deputation to Amboy by the two o'clock train to ercort them. The majority were from Philadel but there wore several from Baltimore, and a sm umber from Washington, amounting aito- gerber to acwewhst Jers than to hundred. There are expected to arrive thie day six from Bocton, forty from Haytford and » Haven, and fifty from New- ark and Elizabethtown, As well ss thore from Albany, there arrived yestardsy twenty from Troy, fo-ty from Rockester, and tifty from Bridgeport.

DEDICATION OF A MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF A NEW YORE VOLUNTEER—PRAYBE AND ADDRESE- Greenwood prevented en Friday a scene of unususl interest, and the spectacle drew together a large com: pany of ladies and gentlemen, particularly of the former, who outnumbered the sterner sex in the same ratioas they do in population according to the last census re turns, namely, of six and over to ome. The ceremony which excited so much interest was the dedication of & monument that has been lately ereeted by the Harring- ton Guard of this city to the memory of George W. Strathers, s private of Cempany I ef the First Regiment N. Y. Votunteers, who died shortly sfter his return home from Mexico through disease that he had con- tracted while in the serviee or his country. The history of pocr Struthers is brief, and perhaps is the history of many a gallant fellow. He was obliged, through poverty, to seek medical aid in the-Hospital, died there, and was buried ia Pottet’s Field on Randall’s Island. Some members of the Harrington Guard, disgusted at the neglect paid by an ungrateful country to one of her de- fenders in the hour of need, disinterred the body, buried it im Greenwood Cemetery, and erected a monument beside the grave. Yesterday was the day appeinted for con- secrating the record of their generous deed, and aecording- ly the above-named company issued invitations to their friends to be prenent at the spestacle, and hired a steam- ‘boat to convey them over to Long Island from New York city. Accordingly, about the prescribed time, the pier foot of Hammond street was covered with a large number of Indies, ready to take their places on beard the boat. ‘These were so numerous that the steamboat, which was but small, was soon densely crowded; and as numbers continued to ponr on board, the only cessation to the influx wes by unmooring from the wharf. A powerful engine, however, made light work of the load, and the hittle steamboat paddled its freight with ease and safety to the landing plsce on the Long Island side. There was however, a long trudge yet to Greenwood Cemetery. which was distant more than a mile, and, therefore, many took advantage of the passing stages to get to Greenwood by a less laborious method than walking Many, however, preferred the latter plan, and, not with standing the heat, managed to arrive long before the eeremony commenced, In this respect the armange ments were badly conducted. In the first place, the committee, in addition to the hiring of a steamboat for conveying their guests across to Long Island, ought to have provided further accommodation when they were landed on the pier to conrey them to the cemetery. The ladies and children, of whom there were likewise a fair proportion, must have suffered considerably at this want of attention that ought to have been shown to them. Tn the next place, it was stated in their note of invita- tion that a steamboat would be in waiting at the foot of Hammord street, from cne to two P. M., to convey the company and their friends to Greenwood. Tae boat, however, “started without the company; to be sure there would not have been room for them, bytit was hours sfter before they arrived at the cemetery. The guests who, in the meanwhile, had arrived at the rendezvous, amured themselves by examining the “Monument of the Volunteers,”? and in sauntering about the grounds. The spot where the deceased is buried is situated at the junc- tion of the main avenue (denorainated the ‘'Tour’’) with Sullivan avenue, where the two roads fork, and is par ticularly noticeable from a majestic oak tree at the cor- ner, rearing its head aloft to heaven, and overspreading the tomb with its extended branch A little distance from this spot is situated the bumble grave of the de- ceased soldier, and beside it has been erected a splendid tomb of marble, supported on = bare of granite, and having on the top, rculptured out of ths former mate- rial, an ornamental group, consisting of the accoutre ments ¢f a private soldier, namely, cap, knapsack, car- tridge box, overcoat, musket, &c.
