In the Senate yesterday the death of Mr. Snod- grass, late a member of the House, was announced, and the customary resolutions adopted. ‘The House agreed to a resolution fixing upon the Mth of August for the adjournment of Congress. ‘Whe Senate has passed a resolution to adjourn on ‘the 3d of July to the third Monday in October. If the Representatives exhibit a disposition to vush forward the public business, it is probable the Se- wators will recede and concar in the House resolu- tion. There were but one hundred and forty mens ‘bers present in the House yesterday. Gur Washington deapatch states that the resigna- tion of Charles O'Conor, United States Attorney for thie district, has been accepted. When we asserted that Mr. O'Conor had for the third time tendered the resignation of his office, and that the President eould not, if he had the least self-respect remain- ‘ing, longer refuse its acceptance, the junior organ ‘of the administration at the capital displayed its Agnorance and silliness by denying the statement. Our information, , Was correct. The Senate to-da mmences business in earnest, and it is said the Ouban question will be brought up. Shovld the President transmit his long-talked- ef message on that subject, it will form the basis of action; if he does not, the Southern democrats will start an independent movement. ‘The new city government was inaugurated yester- doy, omid great rejoicing. AFFAIRS IN NICARAGUA. ‘We publish in another column two proclamations from the President of Nicaragua—one to the people, detailing his recent misfortunes, and the other to thearmy. They will be read with interest, now that this unhappy republic is again embroiled in civil warfare. It must be remembered, however, that they present only the government view of the aynestion; and in this, asin most other cases, there may be two sides to the story. AFFAIRS IN THE CITY. The Board of Aldermen last evening got through ® considerable amount of papers. The report of the committee in favor of disbanding Engine Com- pany No. 16, and suspending Engine Company No. 46, for etreet disturbances, was adopted; a commu- nication from the Commissioner of Repairs and Bupplies, in reference to the current expenses of repairing pavements, was received and referred. The Board adjourned to meet again this evening. The Board of Councilmen met again last evening, and after disposing of the large number of one ‘Bndred and twelve papers, adjourned until Wednes- ‘day afternoon at the usual hour. Sevefal commnni- © tions from the heads of departments, the Comp- troller and the Mayor, were received and referred to ‘the appropriate committees. A number of reports on grading and paving streets and on sewers were referred to the Committee of the Whole. The report of the committee on the famous Gansevoort property was read a third time, and adopted without By debate. Towards the close of their evening Jabors a communication from John N. Genin ‘was received, praying for an appropriation to clean the #ixteenth ward, as it was at present in a filthy condition, and with but little or no prospect, of its being cleaned this summer. The members of the Board got quite indignant at Mr. Genin’s send- ing in the document in communication form, and al- Most unanimously sent it back to him for correc: tion and alteration. The hasty manner iv which this branch of the Common Council disposed of this important commmnication shows rather plainly that they care little or nothing about the welfare of the community, as nothing is of so vital importance at preeent as the cleanliness of onr streets and ave- mes, now that the warm weather is in such close prox:mity. The Board of Supervisors, after tranaacting all the business before them, adjourned to the frst Monday in July. A large meeting of the citizens of the Twentieth ‘ward was held last evening in Continental Hall, corner of Thirty-fourth street and Eighth avenue, for, the purpose of expressing their opinions in re- lation tothe granting of liquor licenses by the Excise Board. A report of the speeches that were made and the resolutions passed, will be found in another column. The foreign newa had a depressing influence on the prices of bieadstaffs, and salea of common brands of State dour were made at a fall decline of 124 cents per barred, and Indian corn, being in light supply, only fell off one or two cents per bushel. Wheat was qniet and sales limited.

The success which has attended Commodore Perry’s expedition to Japan will by this time have silenced the most inveterate of the croak- ers who so confidently predicted that the Com- modore would effect nothing, and that Japan would remain for many @ year to come as se cluded and as barbarously guarded from the eye of the world as it has been for the last at Matsmai or Sho-di-ma may reap golden har- | yests, Lines of steamers may be expected to ply between China and San Francisco, touching | thousand years.

We rejoice to think that in | conferring this singular been on his own coun- trymen and the Japanese, the framer of Perry’s instructions has not been animated by any sc!f- ish feeling, or narrow prejudice, and that if the boon conferred by the treaty was not extended to al) other nations besides the United States, the fault did not lie with us, Eugland and France will lose no time in making the appli- cation required by Japanese pride: and before ten years, the Pacific Ocean will in all probabi- lity be covered by ‘as many steamers as now float on the Atlantic. « Conarxss.—The Nebraska bill appears to have acted upon the members of Congress like the confusion of tongues introduced at the Tow- er of Babel—Nebraska has scattered them to the four winds, for scarcely a quorum has been present in either house, on any day since the 24, the ge- The s black, pulpy nius cf filth aud malaria reigns eur gutters, charged'to the brim with r mass of fermenting na-tiners, ne hot day to diffuse the cholera ey fines reacy exist, and to introduce 4¢ where it other- wise would nct exist.

For itis hardly possible to set a limit on a horizon to the vista of consequences which this single event opens to our view. It completes the work begun by the Portuguese and the Dutch centuries ago, and throws open the whole of the Pacific shores to Western enterprise, and Anglo-Saxon energy. a feeble though spirited fight with the natives for a right of way on the eastern littoral of Asia with partial suc- cees, occasionally diversified by such scenes as the expulsion from these very Japanese islands now opened to our vessels. Now, the Dutch and the Portuguese are themselves but little better off than the Pacific Islanders. Their separate nationalities exist by the sufferance of the powerful nations of Europe. Their flag has been almost swept from the seas. The broom the former were fond of hoisting at the mast- head has passed into the hands of nations, one of which at least was unborn when Von Tromp raled the main, and their place on the Asiatic coast is filled by Frenchmen, Englishmen, and Yankees. Strange it is to see how, after these centuries of struggles, the more eivilized race is every- where victorious, The feeble Asiatic has on all sides surrendered his policy and his patrimony, and has at last yielded his undeniable rights more resignedly than he could at first be brought to relinquish the smallest of the arro- gant pretensions set up on his behalf by priests and flatterers. The Englieh have long held the immense promontory of Hindostan. Within the last ten years they have made serious in- roads on the Punjaub, and have overrun Cabul. Since 1851, they have added a fresh kingdom— Burmah—to their already overgrown empire. In the South, the continent of Australia--which had aborigines of its own, but one never hears of them--is theirs, and in a very few years will be throwing off the colonial yoke and setting up like the United States.

But, as a bouy, the Irish are always insin- cexe, always corrupt, always ungrateful, ignorant, bigoted, and despotic. They are untit for freedom, and cannot properly appreciat . Their sense of equality is notbing but an fntence selfishness, and their sense of Justice, that which pays most for the most perfidy, From such elements of mischief, we say, with the Ritaal, Good Lord, deliver us! as well as the democratic party. This is a naked proposition to swap off the Irish vote for the Know Nothings. The paper advancing thie proposition is an organ of the administration. It is in the confidence of Gen. Pierce and his Cabinet. Now, then, we desire an answer “by authority” to this question: Is the True National Democrat authorized by the President, or Cabinet, or any of them, to throw out this proposition for casting off the Irish and adopting the Know Nothings as the basis of the reorganization of the administra- tion democratic party? Can the Washington Union answer?

A small port, under our ‘lag, at Shang hae, would answer the purpose.

We are thus ad- monished of the extraordinary obligation de- volving upon our local authorities to clean the streets, and to prepare against the threatened extension of the cholera, from a few sporadic cases to a general epidemic. Mr, Glazier, in taking the sweeping of Broad- way from the hands of Genin, promised to keep itclean. He bad.no right to make such a pro- mise, to the total neglect of other streets. But he has failed to fulfil it, even in regard to Broadway, for it is easy to perceive that it is eradually getting dirtier and dirtier from day today. But Broadway is a perfect picture of cleanliness contrasted with the cross streets, The period for opening actual commercial in, | side streets, bye streets, and back streets.

Whe fm we speak of our city the imagination pic- tur 63 streets reeking with filth, sunken lots in w! ao. stagnant waters the carcases of animals ® £e permitted to lie rotting in the sun, engen- dering the most poisonous miasma, dilapi- dated houses under whose well ventilated roofs the children of poverty try in vain to find a shelter from the storms of heaven and the still more pitiless storms of the world; but the evils with which New York is afflicted are too numerous to recount and too painful to dwell upon at length. Many of them, we know, can- not be removed by legislation ; many of them are produced by individual negléct, and many of them are incidental to all great cities. We only desire at present to speak of one in parti- cular, which can be remedied by our municipal government. We allude to the condition of the docks on the East and North rivers, a subject which appears to have been entirely forgotten by our authorities, but which is of the utmost importance toa large class of our Population. It isa matter that our commercial community feel a direct interest in, and which they have vainly attempted to procure legislative action upon. Pie are aware that steam dredges are employ- ed for the cleaning of the dooks, but there is not o sufficient number of them. In some placer, the mud is from six to ten feet deep, while the water at full tide is not more than eight or nine feet, The consequence of this is sometimes very serious, as was proved in the case of the Joseph Walker, which was destroy- ed by fire at the came time the Great Republic was burned. Every effort was made to float her into the stream when she caught fire, but the mud in which she lay held her with such tenacity that it was found utterly impossible to move her. The accumulation of filth in the docks is pro- duced partly by the defective manner in which the sewers are constructed. Instead of being carried to the end of the piers, where their con- tents would be carried away by the current, they discharge their contents from the bulk- beads, to which the currents seldom extend. The eficets of this are perceptible when the tide is out, in the disgusting appearance the docks Present, and the sickening stench arising from the putrid macs that lies at the bottom. The remedy for this is very obvious. Let the num- ber of dredges be increased; let the sewers be carried the entire length of the piers, and let all the piers that may hereafter be built, be so constructed as to offer mo obstruction to the force. of the current. Lecture upon the Ruins of Ninevch. Last evening Rev. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven, read 4 paper before the Young Mon’s Christian Association, entitled Contribution to Biblical Knowletge from the Ruing of Nineveh.” There was quite a large audience Present at their rooms at Stuyvesant lustitute. Mr. Howard Crosby presided. The Rev. gentleman commenced by giving an histori- cal sketch of the Assyrian Erapire, tracing its progress down to its final disrolntiou. After glancing agithe serip- tural account of the foundation of Nineveli,"by Ashur, ron of Stem, the lecturer preceeded to give ‘an accoant of its present condition, wish spectal reference to the confirmation which it gave to the fulfilment of prophecy. He described briefly its geographical position. It stood on tho left bapk of the Tigris, opposite to the modern city of Mosul. Its site wes the same with that of the village of Menioh and the tomb of Jonah, situated about three quarters of mile from the river. The city wan the favorite resitenee of the Assyrian kings, and was frequently reierred to in holy writ, asa place of vast commercie] impor'ance.

A trotting match for $1,000, mile heats, best three in five, to wagons, between b. g. Wedge and br. g. Frank, came off yesterday afternoon. Frank, driven by Wm. Whelan, was the favorite previous to the start, at ten to six; and those who backed him were great losers by the transaction.. He proved himself much the fastest horse of the two; but in this instance the race was not to the swift, as his dsiver ot the start was guilty of @ breach of the rules, for which the judges distanced him. This de- cision created considerable ill feeling among the losers, | while unbiased men declared that they—the judges— hbadacted correctly, and that if their example should be followed for the future, the trotting track would be much better patronized than it has been of late. The track was in most excellent order; and the day being Gne, those who attended were much isappoitited at the abrupt termination of the race.

The subject, it appears, has caused considerable commotion, for some time past, among a portion of the religious community, and the conduct of such ministers as have been induced to lend their coun- tenance to the moral drama, has been freely spoken of andcensured. It was, therefore, expected that there would be a warm debate, but asthe meeting appeared to be unanimous, the subject was not discussed. The meeting was called to order by the President, J. C. Bax- ter, and after the usual prelim the question “Oo excursions promote the interests of Sunday schools ?’” was debated. This was terminated, after about an hour’s discussion, without a vote having bean taken upon it, and the following preamble and resolution adop'o: 'Wherens, several of the theatres in the city of ~ow York have reeetly brought to the attention of the pubic » dramatic representation of the work of Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe, U a otber ent of similar character, comprebgndiag what is ealiod be “moral dramas ;’ and whereas, in the v of this body, the thentre with all its associations a1 meer, is evil and pernicious; and whorcas, epecia! to attract clergymen and professing of the theatre, for the pus] of wi duct of the drama; and whe ker of professed Christia to visit he theatre for the above named Freee. thus lending their int and example to this allurementfof follyfand‘dicai- d affectionately orgs npon ° to abstain from lendiog any countenarce whatever to this new attampt to «0% the patronage and support of the moral and Christina p lie for the thontre. and that we appeal to all who on day school work to discourage evory movement, ion of the ‘Association of Sunday Teachers will have upon the ‘moral drama,” it is impossible to say; but they appear determined to use their utmost influence in preventing Ministere from giv- ing it encouragement and support by their presence. ‘THE EXCISE BOARD.

He questioned some pretty sharply uyon the character of their houses, and by his cross. exermivations mace it quite clear whether oF not the ay- Flicant was entitled to a license. At 11 o'clock, wach fo the delight of the crowd, Alderman Lord mace his ap- aranes, and after a short covsultation decided to grant icenres in this ward, but adopting = esurse different trom that of the previous cemmigsiouers.
