The Danish government has rephed to the United States with reterence to the demand of tha latter for the abolition of the Sound dues, Dan- mank thinks the proposition an unreasonable one, aad depines to comply. The commercial news precente no featare of importance. The markets were generally steady, and console were quoted at 91. B:fore the receipt of the foreig2 news yesterday, including a lo? not previously reported, the sales of cotton amounted to about 1,000 bales at vary fivin prices, afterwards no sales of moment trans- pied. Flour advanced abou’ 12he. to 25c. par barrel. Wheat was in good demand, with tolerable free eples of new Southern and Tennessee red at 1i8e.a185e. Corn declined, and sold at 864c.a S87he., Cosing at the inside figure. Pork was rather wiiffer, with further sales of prime mesa a’ $17 50 for Boston accouat. Coffe and sugsr continued ‘em. The latter waa better for high grades. * + Messrs. Stnart advanced their terms for refined sugues. Freights were without caagge; 20,000 bouabeia of grain were ehipped in bulk for Liverpool at 24d., and some compressed cotton at {d. There waa a good demand fo: des! freigntsto English porte.

Resvlutions stropgly condemning the contract system, as legalized by tno city charter, end denouncing the street sweeping machines, were adopted. Several florid speeches were made by orators heretofore unknown to fame, and the Proceedioga were agreeably diversified by a fight on the platform. Our geporters estimate that about three thousand people attended the meeting. ‘The Commissioners of Emigration conmencea a series of reforme yesterday they shouid have con sumated long ago. They determined w retrench their expenditures, and struck from their pay roll number of ugeleas employ’s whese salaries mounted in the aggregate to nearly a thousand dollars per month. The commission is now in debt to the amount of $125,000, and the proapest tor its liquidation is anything but fisttering. There bas certainly been great carelessneys in the mau. agement of the fonds. This is evident by the fact that instances of mismanugement, and perhaps something worse, have come to hght on Wara’s Islan, and to investigate the matter a sesret moot- ing of the Board was held yesterday, from which the press wasexcladed. This is an extraordinary proceeding, to say the least, and bas a most saspi- clouslook. Pubticity cam never hurt a good cause, though it may expose wrong doing. Will the com- tiesion explain? Movements for the Fall Elections. On Tuesday evening the hard shells held their primary elections to choose delegates to the convention which is to meet on the 5th September. On the same evening the Liquor Dealers’ Association held their elections jike- wise for the same purpose; their State Con- vention meets at Syracuse on the &th. The ball is thus fairly set a rolling. The old whigs, having made an assignment of their estate and effects to the republicans, are confident of success in effecting a fusion with the Van Buren free soilers. True, the body is not unanimous in approving the assign. ment. A respectable section of the old line whigs, under the command of the moat venera- able patriarchs of the faction, refused to be en- dorsed over, and hoJd themselves aloof. But they constitute a feeble minority. The bulk of the party are in the hands of Seward, Weed, Raymond & Co., to be welded into a whole to- gether with the free soil democrats, Their platform, as arranged at the coalition meeting held at the Astor House, ignores the tempe- rance question altogether. They intend to go to the people on the sole issue of anti-slavery, if they can. Now, the question is obviously, will they be enabled to defeat the liquor dealers by slipping out the liquor question at the elections this fall? The answer depends on the sagacity of the liquor dealers. If they allow the quéstion which has been the means of bringing them to- gether to be shuffled aside, and rendered subor- Ginate to the abolition designs of the republi- caus, there can be very little doubt but the lat- ter will eucceed in all their projects. Tae least injurious consequence of such a scheme would be the amendment of the Liquor law in such @ manner as to obviate the objections preferred against it by Mr. Hoffman and the more eminent of the legal counsel who have pro- nounced it unconstitutional. On the other hand, itis clear that, by taking advantage of the professed lukewarmness of the republicans on the liquor question, the liquor dealers may, with the exercise of a little sagacity, replace matters oa the footing which they occupied be- fore the Probibitory statute was enacted. Their policy is to refuse to consent, at the bid- ding of the republicans, to ignore the Jiquor question; but on the contrary, to thrustit for- word more prominently than any other in the electoral canvass, This will force the Seward leaders back on their old ground, which in the coming November wiil be foand aboat as ua- vafe as apy which could be selected. It re. mains to be seen whether the liquor dealers possess the tact and the coherence to carry out a plan of this kind, They are now a party wielding great in- fluence, and commanding a large electoral vote. It is wholly incorrect to represent their strength as confined to the individuals who profit by the sale of liquor. Oa the contrary, the party—politically speaking-~comprises not on)y all the persons engaged in the trade, buta host, who are allied to them by considerations ot friendship, and auother large section of in. dividuals who oppose oa principle tyrannical attempts to enforce sumptuary legislation. Each liquor dealer is the nucieus of a little cir- cle of persons, all of whom—being comparative- ly disinterested in the matter—will vote to eave their friend’s livelihood against any party whatsoever. With these and the probable union of the hard sheils, the liquor dealers are certain to command one of the strongest parties at the fall elections. Except the Know Nothings they are the strongest political party in the State, that is uoconnected with the old parties; it will be their own fault if they throw away their power. Tue Vireists HareSprrrrers xp Ocr Hanns ano Sorts—Mr. Wiss Cavenr—lIt will be remembered that upoa the heels of the Vir- ginia election the hard shell democracy had a meeting here, and that the soft shells also had a meeting of glorification over the election of Mr. Wise.

What say the hardebelle? What says Captain Rynders’ Tae News rrom Evrore.—The A ia brings no vew- 0 any material importance. Politi- cally, strategically, and financially matters are as they were. lt was announced, it wil be re- membered, by las mail that the fou th bom- bardment of Sebastopo! had taken place; and several of our L»pndon votemporaries grimly augured from the sententious breviry of Simp- son's despatches that the assault had aiready commenced. It appears their bum .ne supposi- tion was not justified by the facts, Waether the lo:s of life on the 18th of Juve has terrified tbe English and appalled Pelissier, or wnether the strength of the new works which the Rus- siaps are erecting behind the Redan and the Malakoff has convinced the Allies that a second assault would be as fruitless as the former one, vhey remain quiet at their posts, and content hemeelves with entrenching their position. It secms generally understood that the idea of a campaign inland has been definitely abandoned, in consequence of the immense strengto of the works which crown the detiles in the vicinity of vhe allied camp. Experienced officers have been understood to declare that it would re- quire an army of half a million of men to force tbe way from the Tchernaya to Simpheropol. The great—the real problem now involved in the military operations in the Crimea—how the Allies.are to get out—appears at last to be en- gaging some attention. Study will prove that poor Lord Raglan was, after all, the most sen- sible man amoog the officers of the allied army, and that had his advice been followed, the troops would long ago have been embarked, and rescued trom the fate which now threatens them. It is understood that Lord John Russell’s place has been filled by the old Colonial Secre- tary, Sir William Molesworth, a politician who held office under Lord Derby. The change is a mere tub to the whale. Man for man, Russell is worth more than Molesworth, and maiea better officer. The fact is’ as we said in the news by the last steamer, the British Parlia- ment is so hopelessly sunk in decrepitude, cor- ruption and imbecility, that no measures evincing sagacity or even a consciousness of the pending crisis can be expected of it. A ful! majority of the members are sold, body and soul, to the aristocracy. They are ready to support apy absurdity, to resist any inquiry, to bolster any ministry; so long as they do so in conformity with the wishes of their patrons. They are in fact nothing better than well bred lackeye, and earn their wages conscientiously. To blame them for rejecting Mr. Roebuck’s motion—in which every man in Eogland con- curs—would be like reproving “Jeames” for having the soul of a flankey. In trade no change has taken place. Consols had not moved General business had not re- vived, and distrust continuing, money still sought investment. Cotton had been duller, but rallied towarda the close of the week. In- dian corn continued to fali, at the rate of three thillings a week: the other classes of bread- stuffs were quoted as before. News From Mexico—Santa Avnya’s Last Suvrrie.—The news from Mexico, which will be found elsewhere, is singularly suggestive of the progress which the revolutionists, rebels, brigands, or whatever else they may be called, under Alvarez, are waking. While the gov- ernment papers record, as usual, the triumphs which the government troops gain over the bandits, Santa Anna himself seems to have got a crotchet in his head that the country might be better governed than it has hitherto been under his benign sway. And so he convenes his Council and propounds to them three grave questions:—First, whether the time has arrived for establishing an orgapic law or constitution for the republic? Second, what is the compe- tent authority for initiating such fundamental Jaw? And third, what is the political form most suitable to adopt? And the Council, not being able to solve these problems to his or their own satisfaction, he propounds them to the people at large, and rolicits answers to his political conundrum, through the columns of the press. This ie the most remarkable movement which wehave seen or recorded for many a day. Like an austere parent, whose sternness has driven hia sons to set his authority at defiance, his Most Serene Highness begins to think, in this hie hour of extremity, that he has tightened the rein overmuch. And now he is anxious to make amend. Penitently he cries peccavi, and declares his intention to sin no more, He ac- knowledges indirectly that he has been a hard Master; that after all, these revolutionists have had cause to complain, and insinu- ates thaf’ he, for his part, is willing to turn a new leaf, and let by-gones be by-gones, The circular which he has recently caused to be sent to the governors of departments—and of which we give a translation—is capable of no other construction. That is the fair interpre- tation of it. Concealed as its meaning is under the mask of official language, still it stands out and reveals itself in spite of all this flimsy covering. This circular reveals the true state of affairs in Mexico. It is more reliable than a hundred despatches announcing, with the usual floa- vish of Dios y Libertad, the total rout end «nnihilation of the insurgents, It is the last make-shift of the Dictator It is thogdespairing cry of “Cataliae is at the gates.” But Santa Anpa utters it not to urge to resistance, but to show the necessity of par- leying and making concessions. He his raled as adespot; he must now yield as a craven. The despotism which has led to this revolution- ary movement be is ready in the emergency to foreewear, and Prospero like, to drown his book Deeper than did ever plammet sound, He has suddenly opened his eyes to the heau- ties of constitutional government, and has no objection-—now that he cannot rule as an Empe- ror-—to direct as a President. The press which, two short years ago, he trod upon and either muzzled or extinguished, he is now willing to regard as the great mouthpiece of intelligence; and in bland and soothing accents he assures it that in the apparently severe measures which he adepted towards it, must only be seen his deep affection and regard for that p »pular in stiiuilon. In a word, Santa Anna exhibits, in his recent constitutional movement, more ar- rant poltroonry aod more sbuflling hypocrisy thao bis worst enemies would bave ventured to charge bim with. It is his ast shuitle, and the mcst contemptible one of them all. A Lirtie Too Fast—We perceive that the Buffalo Repudlic proposes that the approaching Soft Shell State Convention shal! appoint dele- gates from this State to the Democratic Na- tional Convention whieh meets at Cincinnati in May next. Is not our Baffalo friend a little too fast! Do not the softs intend first to try for ® fusion with the hards? Or have the | former forgotten the Baltimore Convention of 1848, which refused to accept them as the ex- clusive New York democracy, and threw them back upon Buffa'o? There is a mistake in the print of our cotemporary this time. Cincinnati | is not the locality for the Van Buren free soil- ers. Buffalo is the place. Let them stick to their principles. Youne Arrica on a Sprex.— Yesterday the free and independent abolitionis's in this city and vicinity celebrated the anniversary of British emancipation in the Weat Indies, by an excursion and pic-pic at Flushing, Long Island, They bad a great time, as will be seen by the report elsewhere. This was a celebration got up by the white folks, who monopolized all the ta)k, and dissolved the Union several times. Young Airica got up a celebration on its own account at Staten Island, shutting out their white friends, Garrison, Oliver Johnson, Greeley & Co. We regret that we have no report of their doings; but Young Africa did not adver- tise its proceedings in the abolition jouraala— the Times and Tribune—which announced the Fiuthing excursion, for which our reporter duly paid bis half dollar, and found his own forage | at a further expense of thirty-seven and a half cents, according to the requirements of the official programme. A portion of the city delegation to the cele- bration at Staten Island, passed the Heratp office, in great atate, ercorted bya military com- pany, at noon, Here was Young Africa in the ranks and Old Africa on horseback; and the corps really made a very creditable appear. ance, The mounted gentlemen were fully uniform- ed, and looked big with the dignity of the cha- peau bras, gold cpaulettes, crimson sashes and dress swords. The procession resembled one that we have seen of Faustin the First, Empe- ror of Hayti, surrounded hy the Duke de Mar- malade, the Baron de Uharlotte-Russe, the Viecount de Meringues, and others of the flower (and water) of his nobility, only that our color- .ed people looked a Mttle more dignified than Soulouque’s newly created dignitaries. We presume that we were specially honored by this procession on accoun’ of the eonsistent course which the New York HeERaup has al- ways pursued with the colored man—never swindling him out of his money by false pre- tences, a8 some white editors do, and always hailing with pleasure any ef- fort made to elevate his position in the community, when originated by himself and conducted upon correct principles. Young Africa must go ahead and emancipate itself— above all, keeping clear of all white politicians, swindlers and loafers. Immigration to Africa is the only thing left forthe colored man. He is, like the Indian, becoming a thing of the past in this country. Ovr Burpav or CorresronpEnce.—There is no department of the American newspaper so original or so important as the bureau of cor- respondence—local correspondence especially. The New York Henaxp first directed atten- tion to the subject nearly twenty years ago, and its example has been imitated so far that almort every traveller acts as a re- porter for his favorite journal, and jots down in- cidents by the way, and genera) information, which, when properly prepared and revised for the press, is a source of great benefit to the reading public. With our regular correspon- dents, aided by the guerilla war kept up by summer skirmishers, we are able to spread be- fore our readers, almost every day, a great deal of information which could not be obtain. ed elsewhere. Indeed, it isa fact that the inte- rior journals often are obliged to copy from the New York papers accounts of matters which have transpired in their own localities, which they have overlooked, while some sharp correspondent has snapped them up for the Herarp. In the European press this com- mendable feature is almost unknown. Those who are able to write for the press—a small class—are too lazy; and the city journals dis- rriss affairs in the interior with a brief para- graph condensed from the slow country paper. Sometimes, when anything very important takes place, the London Z'umes sends a special reporter into the country, but that does not happen very often. To show the amount o! news received through the medium of correspondence at a well rega. lated newspaper office, we may state that there have been published in this journal during the past four days, letters from London, Paris, Vienne, Mexico, Havana, China, Sandwich Islands, Peru, Uruguay, Nicaragua, New Granada, California, Washington Territory, Kansas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida, In- diana, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island; and, in addition, local corres- pondence from all parts of this State, and about forty watering place letters, from sea, lake, spaand mountain side. Many of these were from our regular correspoadents—others from volunteers; many were received but not publish- ed, for reasons hereafter to be mentioned. All such communications are carefully revised and condensed before going to the printers. ‘A few of our summer correspondents appear to have fallen into a grave error as to the da- ties of their mission, and we fiad that it is ne- ceseary for us to say to them what everyone should know by this time, that the Heratp is not @ vehicle for puffs of steamboat captains, railroad conductors, agents, or superintendents, hotel keepers, clerks, hostlers, waiters or hack drivers, et id genus omnt, however accommo- dating, gentlemanly and affectionate they may be. It is their duty to possess and exercise these attributes, and we do not see why they should be puffed for it. At all events, our correspon- dents may rave themseives the trouble of writing such notices—they will always be ex- cised from the letters, previous to publication. If they discontipue their favors we shall lose nothing, for our best jetters never contain puffs. We have good reason to believe that, in some instances, these puffs are takeu in part or whole pay for board bills; and we have to request that landlords will charge all persons claiming to be our correspondents, aud collect the cash in precisely the same coin or current bank notes which they demand from ordinary mortals. To show what » nuisance this puffing system has become, we had a letter the other day contain- ing coven several and distinct complimentary notices for steamboats and hotels. Yesterday a seaside letter contained—of all things in the world—a puff for some new bathing shanties, ord the “gentlemanly and sccommodatiag” negro who attended them. We trust that our correspondents will make a note of these things, and profit by the above pinté, So will their letters be made more io- teresting, and the true object of publishing them be more nearly attained. Important: Ergcriovs To-Day—The State elections of Ténnenee‘ and of North Carolina come off today. In the former, a Governor, Legislatore and members of Congress are to be elected ; in the latter, m+mbers of Congress ovly. Io both States the contest is an issue be- tween the Americun party, or Know Nothing:, and the democracy, and both parties are sun- guine of success. It would be folly, meantime, to specu ate, when we rhail probably have to- night actual returns sufficient tv indicate the general result both in Teunessee and Old Rip Van Winkle. Respecting the canvass in Tennessee, which has been a very exciting one, the following let- ter tells its own story. Governor Johnson is the democratic candidate for re-election as Go- vernor, and Meredith P. Gentry, a conspicuous whig heretofore, is the Know Nothing candi- date :— Cotzman Hovsr, Kyoxvi1ix, July 23, 1855. Cox. Gentry- Dear Sir: 1 was requested this morning, by Col.

This is certainly an improvement upon the courtesies lately interchanged between Gen. Pillow and Mejor Donelson. We await the re- sult, “Sam,” notwithstanding his failure in Virginia, ought to be able to make his mark in Tenneseee and North Carolina. Governor Trovp’s PresiDENTIAL CLaAssIFica- TionN.—The venerable ¢x-Governor Troup, of Georgia, is out with a prodigious letter, laud- ing Gen. Pierce to the skies, and declaring that bis “is the least exceptionable of all the admin- istrations we ever had—Wachington’s, Jeffer- son’sand Po)k’s not excepted.’’ This is cutting it thick—very thick—almost too thick even for the soft ehellsof Tammany Hall. Our Georgia entbusiast overlooks old Hickory, ignores Van Buren, forgets Gen. Harrison, Gen. Tayler, and Millard Filjmore, and gives the premium to Mr- Pierce even over the head of Captain John Ty- ler. Make room for ex-Gov. Troup. Let Mr, Jobn Cochrane, who is pledged to “carry the President in his arms,” give way to his friend from Georgia. THE LATEST NEWS; BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, ° From Washington. CAUBE OF GOVERNOR RREDER'S BEMOVAL—AMOUNT OF MONLY IN TRE TREASURY, ETO. Wasminatox, August 1, 1856. My despatch announcing the removal of Governor Reeder and the appointment of Mr. Dawson in his place, having been impliedly contradicted in some quar- ters, I think it right to assert without qualificatioa that my original statement is entirely correct. ‘As the public prevs ard public are not agreed regard: ing the caune of Governor Reeder’s removal, it must be recollected that with the correspondence between him and Commissioner Many penny, covering charges by the former against G.
