The mercantile interest opposes the adoption of such a moasure, atu) only recently a bil! before the Couneil, providing a restrictive how, was ‘defeated ; Lut afterwards it was taken up hnd reconi- mitted, and is, therefore, still aa open question. It is well known that the calamities to which Southern cities have for yeara been subject are traceable in almost every instance to the absence of efficient quarantine regulitions, aud it becomes, therefore, a question of national importanee that efficient laws should be enacted and enforced to guard agaiust such inflictions in future. As for the interests of trade, the security of the people from infectious (disenxes should be paramvant to every consideration of that natur A CURIOUS CONVENTION.

APVAIRS IN THE CITY. The Board of Aldermen held the fifth meeting of the Jane seasion last evening, and ha a long series of resolutions and amendments thereto on the appro- priation for the celebration of the Fourth of July, The sum of $3,800 was vitimately agreed upon, in- stead of $6,000 proposed by the Councilmen. A new avd valuable marble, the American verd antique marble, irom quarries in Vermont, was proposed as an appropriate, substantial and ornamental material to be used in the construction of the new City Hall, and was favorably received. It was referred to a special committee. It ia time that the building for our law courts should be commenced, and the seon- er the varions contracts for the supply of the necessa- ry materials dre entered into the better. Let us have a geod fire-proof building, one that will be an ornament to our city; and if this new American marble will conduce to its appearance let us have it; but at all events, gentlemen of the Common Coun- freedom,” but re- political or social reforms, and to men opposed to the extension of slavery into organization upon Seward, Benton, Chase, Hale, Van Buren, ! or any other suitable candidate, disregardful of his geographical locality or former partisan aseociations, so that they are assured he may be trusted as the tried and approved enemy of Southern slavery. Nor can it appear to any reflecting mind that the violent and lawless measures of South- ern retaliation recommended hy the Richmond Enquirer will weaken the existing anti-slavery excitement in the North, or defeat the great end propo-ed, of a combined Northern crusade, in solid phalanx, against Southern slavery. Southern violence will only add fue) to the flames, and exasperate the hostile prejudices between the two sections to the fatal point of -the supremacy of mob law in both sections, or the abrupt secession of the Southera States from the Union. We have no party orgaui- vation in the North capable of successfully re- sisting the projected anti-slavery Holy Alli- ance. The mass of the Northern whig party will ‘come a political necessity for us. On the other, Spain retains it, at some considerabld cost of men, money and peace of mind, because her pride forbids her to relinquish the last gem in her American diadem. Matters have for some time been hastening the solution of this problem. Every outrage committed by the Cubans on our flag has been @ spur to our exer- tions for the acquisition of theisland. Lawless expeditions on the one side and sanguinary and equally lawless retribution on the other have embittered the feeling of hostility existing be- tween the Spaniards and ourselves, Rumors— so well founded as to command universal reli- ance—of British interference on tbe side of Spain have given heart to the Spaaiards aod roused our pride and jealousy. All these various elements have been seething for some timé <A short while ago, matters reached such a point that if Mr. Soulé had demanded his passports and returned home calling upon cil, begin the wark and give the law courts of our | join it; and there can be no reliance placed | the administration to declare war, the coun- city a “Jocal habitation,” which they have not had since the burning of the building in the Park. The Councilmen were in session last evening. A number of reports relating to sewera were adopted, as also the repert recommending the pavement of the Bowery, between Bayard aud Division atreeta, with granite blocks. A petition was presented and appropriately referred, asking for an appropriation of fifteen thousand dollars to complete the fund for the purchase of 'Dr. Abbott's collection of Egyptian antiquities.

The de mocratic administration party in the South is in the same equivocal position—it has given in its adhesion to the official ascendancy of North- ern free soilers upon the corrupt basis of the public plunder ; and the Richmond Enquirer and the Charleston Mercury, in this connec- tion, have been like the traveller in the satyr’s cave—they have been blowing hot and cold with the same breath, Luxuriating in the spoils, they have been the defenders of the free soil spoils coalition at Washington, yet none so seneitive and vigilant against the abolition fire- There are yct materials sufficient among the Femains of the democratic party of 1852, of whjch, in conjunction with the natioual Union whigs of the Soutb, the nueleus of a great ma- tional Union party may be formed, all power- ful in the South against the excesses of seces- sionism, and competent in the North to arrest and silence. the Northern anti-slavery agitatars, in- the utter. defeat of their principles, their candidates, aud their schemes of discord and disunion. Get the national Union men of the South, withont distinction as to whigs or demo- crais, proceed, thea, as speedily as possible, to the organization of a national Uuion party, upon the principles of the Nebraska bil, the constitution, and the progressive American ideas of the age.

But with- ‘outcome such great national Union organiza- lion, competent to seckre the total rout of the anti-siavery coalition between this time and ihe Presidential election, the elements of sec- tional Letred and strife will be ineveased on both sides—things will ge on from bad to worte, until all lope of receaciliation betweeu the two sections is abandoned.

Let us hear. #ettlement of the Case of the Black Warrlor— The Cuban Comanission, The reference made elsewhere to the Cuban question will acquaint our readers with the po- sition it now oecupies, and the progress «4 our negotiations with Spain. We learat yeste. i day that, notwithstanding the reluctance of the , Spanish government, fall sitisfaction for the Black Warrior outrage had been either pro- wised or made already, and that this gratify- ing termination to this tronblesome matter was due to the iuteference of the British govera- | ment, whose anxiety lest we -hoald have any | cause of quarrel with Spain scems to have ! roused her ambassador to unu-ual yigilanee. | We are now informed that the settlement of this question will in no wise militate against or | interfere with the appointment of the commis- sion to Madrid.

Of course no | one will be ata loss to designat: their duties. With a list of grievances like ours to redress, one would suppose the commissioners will have no sinecure.

There is no necessity, however, for anything try would have sustained him, aad would have exercised considerable pressure on the weak Cabinet by which we are governed. Mr. Soulé had not the nerve to do anything of the kind; the administration were suffered to repoze in congenial inactivity; and before a month elapsed, the state of matters was entirely changed. England has sew taken the field, not on the side of Spain but as the advocate of our pretensions, The people of Madrid themselves are beginning to discuss the question of selling Cuba to the United States. These changes give an entirely new aspect to the problem, and indicate that the real object of the commission to Madrid ought to be to ascertain whether the acquisition of Cuba can be made at once. ‘There are a great. many reasons why it should. The condition of the Spanish finances is such that no ministry can take office with any pr s- pect of maintaining itself, until some new re- sources are discovered. We could afiord to supply these new resources in exchange for Cuba. “Spanish pride stands in the way of course: but if Spanish pride gave way to British counsels so readily in the Black War- rior case, why surely it may be brought to do the same before cool legic irom this side of the water. It is very certain that so Jong as Cuba belongs to Spain, it will cost her.a smal) fortune every year to pay damages for the outrages committed by her officials there, and to keep up the defensive foree required on the feland: expenses which Spain certainly can very ill aflord. Nor is it quite fair that we should be put to the anxiety and expense thesruinors of Cuban filibusterism have recently cost us, if the cause for these movements could be re- moved without injury to Spain. We are always ready to enforce our laws; but, if it ean be managed, we would rather spare our citizens any unnecessary temptatign to break them. This temptation we can only remove in this case by acquiring Cuba: and we believe the public sentiment is now as strongly ia favor of the purchase of the island as it was iu favor of the purchase of Louisiana. Some fears of Hiz- lich opposition are entertained. We hive none. British intereste—as indeed those of every ac- tive commercial aud maunfacturing district in Nurepe and Aimerica—will be decidedly beae- liited by the trausformation of a badly-goverued, tarift-vidden, profitless island into a rich, pro.- perous, and powerful State. Hagland should be the iirtt to plead our cause at the Spanish har. Her manufacturers will make enough by the annexation of Cuba to enable them to buy up all the bonds we should issue for the pur- pore. If Messrs. Cobb and Dallas bear these points in mind and make it their business to advance this negotiation. their journey will not be regretted by the people. As to a war, with such an imbecile administration as ours, that is impossible.

When we consider the large supplies of gold which England has been receiving from Avs- tralia for several years past, we gaa ouly ag- 1 ape other purposes than the Russian war bills, And at length, just in the nick of time, we are in- formed of the exact uses to which these Aus- tralian gold mines have been devoted. The Know N it lave got the mo- ney. No that, together with the whigs, with “their pockets lined with British gold, they have been enabled to carry the mu- nicipal elections in New York, Washington, Philadelphia, and many other places. If John Bull has really, in this way, subsidized a ma- jority of the’ American people in these cities, then are our republican institutions in danger, sure enough. We call upon Secretary Marcy to put on his old Continental breeches and in- quire into the matter. ‘The Progress of Events in Europe. We publish to-day a large mass of correspon- dence from various parts of Europe, from which an accurate idea may be formed of the ‘impres- sions prevailing abroad regarding the complicat- ed and perplexing aspect of the great political questions which are now engrossing the atten- tion of the world. It will be seen that the text of the Austro-Prussian treaty, which has at length been made public, so far from re- moving the doubts that prevailed with regard to the sincerity of the disposition said to be manifested by the Austrian government, to make common cause with the coalition, has only served to increase the anxiety that previously existed with regard to the course likely to be pursued by that power. We took occasion a short time since, on the authority of well au- thenticated information that had reached us, to point out the probability of Russian influence being exerted to sow dissensions amongst the members of the Germanic Confederation aud to control the action of the two leading German Powers, by the apprehensions and jealousy known toprevail amongst the second rate Powers The close family ties existing between the Conrts of Bavaria and Greece, aud the manner in which the latter government has beea com- promised by the sympathies of its own subjects, were in themselves sufficient to suggest the pro- bability that the deliberations of the Diet on the vital issues that are about to be presented to its consideration, would be disturbed by the antagonism of conflicting interests, These speculations are confirmed by the an- nouncement which will be found in the letter of one of our correspondents, that Russian dip- lomatists are busily intriguing at the “smaller German courts, and that next month a conven- tion is to be held at Bamberg, under the Presi- dency of Bavaria, in favor of adhesion to the principle of absolute neutrality in the Eustera war. The King of Prussia, as was to be ex- pected, secretly supports this party, and Sax- ony is also said to favor it. If these state- ments are correct—and the probabilities seem in favor of them—Austria will find herself chained down to astate of forced inaction. Not- withstanding all that has been said of her al- leged inclinations to side with the Westera Powers, we are of opinion that this position will be more congenial to the real sympathies of her government than one of active hostility towards Russia. So farit has consulted the popular feeling ot the couutry, from an appre- hension of the dangers to which it would be ex- posed by provoking a revolutioaary gutbreak; but backed by the excuse that the interests of Germany demand harmonious action with thé other members of the Dict, it may succeed in avoiding the alternative to which the Western Powers have been driving it. Should the Aus- trian cabinet, however, be really in earnest in the views which it is said to take of the con- duct of Rugsia, and in its determination to enforce ‘them, we may look for a proxi- mate dissolution of the Coafederation, aud the breaking out of hostilities in the heart of Germany itself. - In such an event the present generation will in all probability wituess a more complete revolution in the dynastic ar- rangements and territorial distribution of the European continent than took place under that king-leveller and king-make®, the tirst Napo- leon. Tn the meanwhile the European revolution- ists whose inaction and apparent supineness have given rise to 0 many speculations, are at length beginning to show signs of life. An effort is about being made by them to get up an agitation in England against the projectod Austrian alliance, on the ground that it would be fatul to the reconstruction of the extinct natronality of Poland. fn another columa will be found a copy of the resolutions prepared by the committee appointed to conduct the pro- | cecdings of the great radical meeting which | was to be held at Sheffield ou the 2ist ult., and | which fully explain the objects of this movement. Kossuth aud other leading mem- bers of the Central Revolutionary Committce were to be present ut it; and as this meeting is the first of a series of similar demonstrations that are to take place in different parts of Bag- land, we may fairly assume that it originates with that body. They wiil find, however, that the object which they propose to themselves will meet with but little sympathy with the great massesvf the nglish people.
