The name of Alderman B unt was, after some little opposition, substituted for that of Alderman Brown, as member of the Fire Department Committee. As usual, severul communications were received respevting the filtby condition of the streets. The Board of Councilmen was in ession last eve- ning, and adopted a resolution in favor of appro- Ppriating one hundred thousand dollars to enable Mr. Glazier to carry on his street, cleaning opera- tions. No other business of special importance was transacted. An «pplication was made yesterday in the Com- mon Pieas, at the sai; of Max Maretzek, conductor of the Italian Opera at Castle Garden, for an at- tachment egainat Mr. Glazier, Commissioner of Streets and Lamps, for violating an iojanction by contipuing todump manure avd impure matter at the Battery enlargement. The case was adjourned to Wedvesday. ‘The Board of Supervisors, at their meeting last €vening, unanimously adopted a resolution direst: ing the Comptroller to pay the salary of the late N. B. Blunt, as District Attorney, up to the lst January, 1855, and directed the same to be paid over to Geo. W. Blont, his executor. The Recent Distur! at San Juan del Nortq. A full account of the cireumstauces which preceded the recent outrage at San Juan will be found elsewhere. From the various docu- ments we now publish, it is quite apparent that the prime source of the quarrel which has led to the destruction of several hundred thousand dollars worth of property was the anomosity existing between the local authorities of San Juan del Norte and the Nicaragua Trausit Company. From the first organization of a municipal government in that city, the posi- tions of that government and of the company were abnormal and essentially antagonistic. The former was never thoroughly recogaized by the United States government; it was dis- tinctly stated as well by our naval as by our commercia( agents that their recognition of the consti‘ution of Greytown or San Jnan was only temporary, and intended to subsist until the pending disputes between Great Britain and this country were definitely arranged. On the other hand the Ac.ersory Transit Company of Nicasagua had still more slender claims to the favorable consideration of the United States. It wasa foreign corporation, created for the purpose of carrying on a forwarding and passenger business in a foreign country. It was only known to the Uniied States as a concern whose stock was bought and ssfd in the New York market, and was common- ly regarded as one of the fancies in which stock jobbers make and other mea lose money, in Wall street. By a siagular coincidence, the birth of this passenger company and the establ.nment of the independent city of Greytown were nearly simultanecus. From the firsi, they naturally came into collision, The company refused to pay port charges to the city on their steamers. The British and American naval commanders interfered and compelled the company to satis- fy the demands of the city. Then the latter took a fancy to Point Arenas, which the Com pany occupied under a sort of grant from the government of Nicaragua; and the agent was notified that the municipal aathorities of Grey- town intended to build a quarantine, lightaouse and hospital on the Poiat. As usual, he refused to budge, and further strengthened his position by extending his limits. The city sued the company in the Greytown courts, ob:ained a judgment ordering the latter to vacate the spot, and, the agent of the company still refasing to surrender the Point, he was : rested, and part of the company’s buildings were forcibly re- moved. While the work of demolition was going on, however, the ever memorable Cyane hove in sight, took the “company’s property under its protection, and drove the city folk+ from Punta Arenas, The manicipal oficers re- signed in disgust. A convention was called, the city government was reorgsoized, this time tothe apparent satisfaction of Capt. Hollins and the United States commercial agent, who both agreed to respect it. From that time tit) a few months back, the jurisdiction of tae city government was undisputed. The Nicaragua Company acknowledged its authority over Point Arenas; and the United States commer- cial egent applied to the Mayor and Couneil whenever he desired to have runaway sailors restored to their ships. The time, however, was of short duration. A collision between one Sloman, an employé ot the company, and one of their discharged ser- vante, led to an open quarrel between the old foes, The city tried to arrest Sloman, bat the company’s agent resisted the marshal. A posse was immediately called out, and Soott the agent arrested together with Sloman Scott fulmi- nated a furious protest at the city authorities, and took the old ground that they hed no jarie- diction over Punta Arenas. He was shortly after- wards discharged from arrcat.

The News. POLITICAL MATTERS. The bard che ls of Stuyve-saut Iastitute had a mall but intereting family meeting last evening, S report of which we publiso elsewhere in this pa- per. A resolution was adopted, among others, for the appointment of a committee to make inquiries 4a a proper quarter whether Judge Broason intends ‘to run, or intends to insist upon his refusal of his eurmation by the haids as their candidate for Governor. They are becoming very anxions upoa ‘this subject, avd they seem to eotertaia the idea tbat it is bard'y practicable this season to insist Bpon electing a man for Govern or who is uawilling to hold the office. How they are to get ont of their ‘wouble we areas much puzzled to kaow as them selves. It was also reaslved that the democrata of the Institute should wait upon Jadge Dougia:, at his lodgings at tie St. Nichuins, to nay him their respecte. We understand there Was some opposition to this resolution, on fhe ground that it might be construed as @ Fort of adoption of the Little Giant as a ocandi- @ate of the Stuyvesant Institute for the Presidency, ‘whereas it js well knowa that the New York hari Rave « chieftain of tieir own to lovk after. The re- selution was, however, ansoimous'y adopted, with ‘tre distinct understanding that it should not be con- sidered asa prelimivary nomination of Judge Douz- Jas for the succession. The committee accord- iwgly proceeded in good order to the St. Nicholas, axd called for the Judge; but the Jadge was “ not im” —he was probably off to see the beautifully pro- portioned pedal extremities of Yrea Mathias @ /a Cracovienne, or to hear B-rtucca-Mareizek in ‘'1 Puritan).” So the committee, in the common par- ance of the bar, took a “ smile” together, left their eard for the Little Gian’, and disyersed in govd order, nothing having occurred to mar the harmony of the evening. We elsewhere publish an interesting letter from Baratoga regarding the convention to be held at ‘hut place to morrow, and various matters connect- ed thsrewith. Those who desire to be posted up a to the movements of this by brid gathering should begin at the beginning, and give the letter alladed to au attentive pervsal. At the recent manicipal election at Mobile those ubiquitous chape, the Know Nothings, carried the day. The majority for Bragg, the democratic candidate foc Governor in North Carolina, as ascertained by fall returns, is 2,600. SHE REVOLUTIONS LN NEW GRANADA AND VENEZUELA. By the airival of the new schooner Ilva, Captain Barry, from Ma a sibo, we have received a letter of our correspondent at that place, dated on the ‘Mtb of July, in which we have some very interest ing facts concerning the progress of the revolutions f NewG-anada and Venezuela, In the former Place General Melo had roated the government con- tangents of many provinces in detail, and a deci tive battle was looked for near Honda. We have leo a translation of an importaut letter addresecd by General Manuel Murillo to the Governor of the province of Santander, which gives a clear explana tien of affairs in that country. From Venezuela we are informed that Colonel Juan Ga cee, of Coro, was in possession of the penineula of Paraguans, and that five handred men had been sent by the government from Caracas to e@ttempt to put him down. Notwithstanding the protracted interruption of peace, the great natural fesources of the country prevented any serious in- Jnry to trade. NEWS FROM MEXICO. Details of news from tie city of Mexico to the ‘20th ult. are received. The revolution in Michoa- @an was gaining ground, and the insurgeots had eaptured the town of Litacuro. It is hardly pssi- ble to gain from the Mexican journals anytoing Hike an intelligent idea of the progress of things in ‘that unfortunate country; but from the meagre ac- counts that are given of the successes of the revo- Detionista, it is evident that the disaffection is in- Greasing rapidly. Everything at the capital was stagnart. FROM GRAND TURK. By the arrival of the bark Hyperion we have files of the Roval Standard to the 29th ult. The sloop- otwar Albany, Commander Gerry, had arrived. ‘Thit vencel was despatched by our government to fa-titute inquiry into the circuinstances connected ‘with the imprisonment of the American Conaui at Grand Turk, Mr. John W. Nelson. The case is Goubtiess familiar to our readers. Salt was qnoted at twenty-five cents. Stock on band 48,000 bush- ele, with the prospect of an abundant supply. MISCRLLANROUS, At two o’clock on Sunday morning eight hundred kegs of gunpowder in the magazine at Maysville, Ky., exploded. The effect can be “better imagined ‘than described.” Thirteen houres were demoliehed, and an old lady subsequently died of fright. Our telegraphic despatch states that a general impres sion prevailed in the town that tke “day of jadg- ment had come,” and the sinners about there mast have thought that the Angel Gabriel performed on tremendonely loud horn. The damage is estimated at between fifty and one handred thousand dollars— nota cent wo much, considering the magnificence of the pyrotechnic display. We anxiously await farther particulars, The Cincinnati bankers refused to re- ceive the notes of all but fous of the frog baake of porsible in company with Smith. His last words to the city authorities were a threat tha: “he would take care that they should receive a leteon they would not easily forget.” How his tbreat hasbeen fulfilled we all know to oar sbome. ‘This is the San Juan version of the story. The quarrel, as it stoud before the destrug. tion of the city, was one between a foreign corporaticn and a for ign city. Torough the madness of Borland and the folly of Marcy we have heen Uragged into the conflict on the side of the former. What motives induced these two men to commit so egregious an error will probably never be known. But an oppor tunity has been afforded to Great Britain to seize the supreme authority at Greytown. Marcy insisted on destroying the San Juan authorities in order that British martial law should be sub- stituted in its stead. Who is to be the gainer by the change remains to be seen. Weare of course dsiven into an acrimonious contest with England for the maintenance of the Monroe doctr.ne and the prevention of a British settle- ment on the ruins of Greytown. The Nicara- gua Company will not be likely to find Com- mander Jolly a more tractable master than Mayor Sigaud. The people of San Juan are ruined. Finatly, Marcy himself has brought down upon his head a load of odium that a life- time of patriotism wou!d not remove. Nebraska Going Ahead!—Romance of the Fronuer—Ealtertat Pionecring—Hazza! From the first number of another frontier paper, wolcb lies before us, we are enabled to give another interesting chapter touching the wonderful results which are following the or- ganization of the Territories of Kanzas and Nebraska. The paper which we refer to is called the Omaha Arrow, and bears the date of “Omaha City, Nebraska Territory, July 28, 1854.” J. E.and J. W. Pattison are the editors and proprietors. They seem to be the chaps for editorial pioneering. The fullowing ex- tract from their opening leader gives us a glim- wering as to where and what Omaha City is, and how they are situatea:— focaiay "be Well, strangers, friends, patrons, and tha , Wherever in the wide world your ast, ana in whatever cliae this Arrow may reach you, bere we aro upon Nebraska soll. reatet no Bor stump of ap ancient oak, which serves for an edit obair, and tbe top of our badly abused beaver for @ table, we propose indicting a leader for the Umaha Arrow.

Beautiful! beautiful! What a glorious coun- try is this of ours! Sitting in the midst of the prairies upon a stump, writing editorials upon the crown of an old beaver! And so here he goes again in the description of— A Nicut in our Sanctum —Last night we slept in our sanctum—the starry decked be-ven fora ceiling ead our mother earth for a foorin’. it was a glorious night, ‘and we were tired ‘om the day’s exertions. Faraway on different portions of the prairle g immered the camp fires of our nm ighbors, the Pawnees, Omsbas or taat no- ble aud too often unappreciated class of our own people, known as pioneers or squatiers. Wo thered arou our lite camp fire, talxed of times in pest, of the pleasing present, and of the glorior: future which the march of civilization should open in \ ie land whereon we sat. The new moon was just sincin: behind the distant prairie roll, but slightly @ispelling tho darkpess which crept over our loved and cherished Nebraska land. And mark how he moralizes upon the “anal- loyed pleasure” ot sleeping in the open air in Nebrasha:— ‘We thonght of distant frien’s and loved ones, streteted upon beds of down: , Hetle ay the unslloyed sure, the ven: Liessed comfort, that dwelt with us in this far off land.

Good, very good! That Is the stuff for an editorial pioneer. He next deseribes a dream, in which Omaha City appeared a great inlend commercial emporium, all noise and confusion from steamboats, railroad locomo- tives, and the busy overland commercial ex- changes of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He may live to realize the vision. Who knows? Here is a description of Omaha City as it is, (pron-unced O-maw-haw.) Speaking of the dif- ferent new town sites in the neighborhood, the Arrow says that:— ° Omaba City may be consilered among the first in im- portance. It is situated directly opposite Btaff City apon » ovhgo‘ful and +ightty eminence, overlooxing the coun- try ov all sides for miles around, bri in view the city of Council Bluffs, town of St.’ Mary's, "s Point and Council Point, in Iowa, and Wiater Quarters in this Territory.

Most of tbe advertisements of this Omaha City paper, we find, are from Council Bluffs or Bluff City, io Iowa, on the opposite side of the river, and they are of that number and variety which indicate a thriving business place. The city bakery on Broadway, next door to Major Armar’s hotel, is just opened, and in suocessfal operation. Tbe advertisers say that— Here's Pastries, caben, here’s tarts and pies, a ond as any ‘neath the shies, ight and sweet, and wholesome too, are bupgry, here you'll find Each bit of comfort to your mind; Here’s rusk and candies, nuteand fruit, Sh Come take a smste be sure and call. We intend to start 2 bread wagon as soon aa it will jus- a aiakaistoccme: wa sean it orders and get it breught to your door. We do not advertise what ‘We are going to have, but what we can and will do. That is the true way of doing business. Among the other advertisements are several columns of patent medicines, and half a columa of attorneys, showing that lawyers and quack doctors are aleo among the pioneers of Anglo- Saxon civilization. The Know Nothings, also, appear to have eprong up in Nebraska, as the following suepi- cious extract of original poetry from our Omaha contemporary would seem to indicate. It pro- bably slipped in for want of something bet- ter:-— DON’T KNOW. Who is it moves with silent pace, With brow serene and smiling face, Each word and action perfect grace? “1 don’t know—do you ?”” Whose heart shies forth from kindly eyes, And listens to oppression’s cries, And when in dangor never fies t “I don’t know——do you ?” What he has learned coers he han been And keeps his thoughts from other men? “J don’t know—do you ?” Who, when he sees bis coun’ ruled wa “] don’t Kaow—do you?” Who, wnen lie sees that Popish power Pos ibh Steg tent “J don’t know—do you !”” Who feels that men born in this lend, And ’gainst oppression dared to stand, ‘Are just as good as “pauper brand “J don’t know—do you f”” The Oabinet organ at Washington must give his Omaha City democratic co-laborer a hint upon the doctrines of the Baltimore platform on the Know Nothing question, or the democra- cy may get off the track in Nebraska. Upon the whole, the extracts which we have given from the Omaha City Arrow will far- nish to our readers a gratifying and graphic bird’seye view of the great results which are following the organization of the Territory of Nebraska. In Kaosas the progress of emigra tion, settlement and developement of the re- sources of the country are equally great. And we see, too, that that indispensable Anglo-Sax- on American institution, the newspaper, accom- panies the emigrants and equats with the squat- ters, as it followed our armies in Mexico, and es it has followed and planted itself at every salient point of the Isthmus and overland lines to California and Oregon. Kansas and Nebraska! American enterprise, afree press,and squatter sovereignty! We shall not be surprised if the two new territo. ries shall demand admission into the Union as sovereign States befure the expiration of the next Congress. Ho! fur Kansas! Ho! for Ne- braska! The Constitution and our country forever! Huzza! Crry Potrrics—Sromp Canpipares.—In the course of the next two months we shall be called upon to participate in one of the most exciting elections ever held in the city of New York. Leaving the fact that State affairs are ia a most complicated condition altogether out of the qnestion, there is work enough in the city to make the campaign a most exeiting one. There will be from four to six tickets in the field; but the chief endeavor on the part of the can- didates will be to propitiate the favor of the Know Nothing and temperance organizations;—both formidable bodies, for this year, at any rate. The whigs and democrat~ (hard and soft) will un- doubtedly pursue the old corrapt and rotten sys tem of primary elections, which we have always opposed, and which has become more and more di-gusting to the people every year. In the present disorganized condition of the old par- ties, these primary elections will have very little weigbt, and the grog shop politicians will find that the day of “ cut and dried’ nomina- tions has passed away. A greatinfluence is at work in the popukir mind ; whether it be for good or evil meskes no difference in the exist- ence of the hard, palpable, practical fact. Allowing, for the suke of incredulous people, that the influense and extent of the new parties are overrated, if the half that we hear of them is true, they most certainly have the balance of power, and they can control the nominations of the old parti+s. Thus the primary eleStions and nominating conventions will be shorn of half their importance. The grop-shop politi- cians will be the wires that are pulled, instead of being the wire-pullers, The many abures in our city government and the laxity of public officers in the enforcing of the excise laws have added strength to the temperance party, and many of the reformers of last year have joined it. There is, at pre- sent, in this party a difference of opinion on a very import int subject. Some of the leaders think that the party is able to elect a straight ticket, nominated by themeelves, while others are afraid of the risk,and recommend caution, pradence and moderation. The last named per- sous are in favor of the old tactics of this party; that ie, to wait until all the tickets are nomt- nated, apd thea eclect Ot candidates from each. Nothiogs will also, probably, par- Tae ghort of the old reform party may tarn Ep come time between this date and erection dey; Wut all the galvanic batteries in the world eould not revive it. The city would have been Detter governed to-dey had the reform aseooia- tion never existed. Notwithstsnding all this difficulty and un- certainty. there is no lack of patriots who are ready to rush in and take the chances for a good fat office, even though the press should abuse them, and the public despise them. This fa particularly true of the office of Oom- missioner of Streets and Lamps, which is by BO means a bed of roses, yet any number of people manifest a disposition to undertake its responsibilities, in consideration of its emolu- menta. The whigs talk of George W. Riblet and Christian W. Sheff-r, while the hard shell democrats have pretty well settled down upon Joseph T. Sweet, who is looked upon with favor by many natives, although he is not attached to the Know Notbing party. We have also a stump candidate for the office, as will be seen by the following advertisement :— To THe ELECTORS oF Tus City axD Gounty oy New York. —The undersigned offers himself as an independent oan- 5 neeapeigiendess Papeete ecgansarig Streets and amps, at the election in November next, pledging him- sen elected, to fulfil ‘he duties ‘appeFealning to we office with energy and hoveésty, giving strict attention and supervi-ion over a] employed in the de, Ppastment, and usiog bia best endeavors to redeem the elity frum f)th and darkness. JOSEPH E. EBLING, Columbian Garden, 200 Bowery. This stump system is an excellent oue, and we hope to cee it more generally adopted. It was recommended in the Hzrarp last summer. Candidates for the Mayoralty are nu- merous. Among them are E. C. Drake, whig and native; Danicl Lori, whig; Zo- pher Mille, whig and temperance; ex Sheriff Thomas Carnley, whig, and John N. Genin, whig and Broadway sweeper. The democrats, or rather come of them, think that Senator Barr or Timothy Daly would fill the chair very com- fortably. For the office of City Judge, Abra- ham Ruseell, Eeq., will receive the democratic and native support. A good nomination. Another democratic candidate is James M. Smith, Jr., an able and popular member of the New York bar, Soft shell Chauncy Shaffer, temperance, reform, and Know Nothing, is willing to serve the city either as Recorder or District Attorney. It is important that we should have a good city register, and this fact seems to have at- tracted the attention of a number of gentlemen to the office, and they are ready to place them- selves in the field tor it, The whigs talk of Jobn J. Doane or Olcott Rhines, while three de- mocrate—Garrett Dyckman, Sherman Brownell and Charles H.Ring—are each sald to be‘ sure” of the democratic nomination. Mr. Nixon an- nounces himeelf ‘on the stump,” as tollows:— To.rum Exxctors oy Tas Crrr anp County or New Yor. —The undersigned offers himself as an aategro tent en Sian coo Bate Sa Commissioner of Deeds, 58 Wall street, basement. Mr. F. H. Pettis, of 35 Wall street, and Mr. Jobn Wheeler, of Union place, are stump can- didates for Congress, It will be seen by the above “ entries” that the “‘ fall meeting” is to be an exciting one, and &s we may possibly get some decent people into city offices, and thereby secure some use- ful reforms, we hail its approach with great rejoicings. Tue ApwrsistRaTION mm MissourL—A St. Louis paper, speaking of the endorsement of the administration in the late Missouri election, seye:— Mr. Trusten Polk, the administration candidate for Congress, bas not received three hundred votes in vote of about 12,000 in this county.
