Tm another column will be found an interesting letter from our Aspinwall correspondent, giving farther details in connection with the late outrages at Panama. He states that the natives are now thoroughly alarmed, and regard every movement of the Americans with distrust and suspicion. The arrival of the St. Marys, and the hostile appearance of her broadside within a mile of the town tend to increase their uneasiness. Capt. Bailey ‘has taken the most efficient measures to protect the passen- gers of American vessels debarking at that port. It is reported that at the first hostile demonstra- tion against Panama, an organized body of the natives intend to proceed direct to Aspinwall to fire the town and re-enact the terrible scenes of the 15th. Our correspondent asserts, thougn we can hardly credit the statement, that several hundred muskets lately arrived from Jamaica, and that the English authorities there have secretly expressed their sympathy with those of New Granada. Some curious statements will also be found in this letter regarding the recent movements of British agents in Central America. Our Lecompton (Kansas) correspondent writes us that great excitement prevails in the Territory. The conduct of the abolitionists, under the lead of Robinson, Reeder and company, has been such as to arouse the law and order men to some definite ac- tion. The people of Lawrence have resolutely re- tused to give up those against whom there are war rants out for crimes of any sort. Robinson declares that no more arrests should be made under the Ter- ritorial laws in Lawrence. The indignation meet- ings are mere blinds to deceive the investigating committee, who, despite the laws of evidence, are pursuing a steady course of listening to every man whe ever heard anything. Reeder and Robinson have it all their own way. The former takes every witness aside, arranges his testimony, and then brings him before the committee. At Law- rence General Whitfield could examine no wit- nesses of his own, as it was dangerous for any pro” slavery man to remain there over night. One of the abolition party, failing to give the testimony expected of him, was shot in the leg by way ofa warning to others. The committee were at Te- cumseh, about ten miles from Lecompton, when our last advices left. Judge Lecompte was holding hie District Court at Lecompton. Six of the men who refused to assist Sheriff Jones to arrest Woods and others, were to be tried, and it was expected would be severely punished. Our San Francisco correspondent writes to us that Bhuddism has been formally inaugurated on American soil. After many disappointments, the Chinese population of that city have imported a ‘wooden god and all the paraphernalia of their wor- ship fer the purpose, and erected them as a perma- nent institution in its midst. The festival, as it was called, commenced on the 4th, and was continued to the 8th, occupying five days. ‘The edifice in which it was held was erected in 1863, and is sita- ated in Pine street. It is of a singular style of architeeture, the entrance being through narrow and devious passages, having on each side high walls. A general invitation was extended to the people of San Francisco, through the press, to visit the build- ing, and all who availed themselves of it were treated with politeness. Great complaints were be- ing made about the continued existence of gambling houses in San Francisco, in defiance of the laws passed for their suppression. In that part of their report which refers to the County Hospital, the Grand Jury give a direct contradiction to the re- cent charges brought against the Sisters of Mercy. Claims against Adams & Co. for over half a million of dollars have been presented to Mr. Grant, the referee. Before the time allotted expires more will be added, which will bring the dividend to rather a small figure. We have letters from our cerrespondents in Ha- vana to the 12th inst. The captain and officers of the ill-fated Fernando el Catolico were in the Navy Yard, awaiting their trial, which it was expected would take place ina few days. Vigorous efforts were being made by government to arrest the “ As- turiano,” a famous bandit, who had signalized him- self by a long series of robberies and assassinations, but without effect. A Capitan del Partido of the village of Madraga,; who was engaged in hunting him up, was shot dead by two guajiros who accom: panied him, and who, it appears, formed part of the band of the robber chief. The Dario dela Marina, in a recent article on the Panama outrage, lays the whole blame of it on the Americans, and this to prove that such scenes can never occur un- der amonarchical government. The French ship of war Penelope was still in the port. She brought over Tamariz and several other leaders in the Mexican revolution. There were to be great doings + Cardenas on the 10th, in celebration of the vie ned by the Spaniards over the filibusteros, commanded by the unfortunate General Lopez. The British brig-of-war Daring had left on a cruise, to aid, as was believed, in the blockade of San Juan del Norte. Letters from Matamoros, under date of the 30th ult., have been received. The Governor of the State arrived at that place on the 17th, from Tampico, and after a short stay returned to the latter town on his way to the capital, in order to do what he could there to promote the interests of his administra- tion. He was accompanied by General Canales, a man not in very good odor with the popnia'ion, and whose presence in his suite gave great offence. A committee had waited on his Exceilency to induce him to declare Tampico a port of deposit, but the Governer declined te assume the respensibility, saying that he would lay the matter before the general government. The annexation of Coahuila to Nuevo Leon had given Governor Vidaurri’s enemies an opportunity of abusing him. He has contented himself in the way of reply with pointing to the fleurishing condition of Nuevo Leon under his administration. No other State in the re- pubtic is certainly so well governed. We have advices from Callao to the 12th ult. The revolutionary movement which had been anticipated for some time past had broken out at Arequipa, in Southern Peru. Ex-President Echiniqne had landed at that place, and after some little fighting had routed the authorities and gained a firm footing. It was probable that he would marzh a‘ once to Limay and in the present excited state of public feeling it was believed that large numbers would join hic on the way. The people were much prejudiced against the government, and were ready to follow any one in whom they could place confidence. So much had been expected from Castilla, and so little had been done, that his best friends would in all likelihood desert him. Guano freight was rising, and there was a large in- crease in the number of arrivals. Seamen’s wages were lower than they had been for years, and de- sertions had become less frequent. The American ship Dalmatia had been sold at the Usited States Consulate for $2,500. The surviving coolies of the il-fated cargo of the American ship Waverley had arrived in the bark Louisa, from Manilla. It was expected they would meet with a ready sale, as there were but few laborers in the market. We have news from Mexico to the Sth instant. A pardon to the participators in the Puebla revolt bus been granted, with certain exceptions. Geu. Gadsden had returned. Has he another treaty in his trunk ? The French steamship Barcelona, from Havre May 3, arrived at this port yesterday. She brought 123 passengers. The value of foreign goods imported at the port of Boston for the week ending 16th inst. amounted to $1,103,743. The cotton market was more active on Satur- day, with sales of 2,000 a 2,500 bales, and closed, if anything, with rather more buoyancy, although prices were somewhat irregular. Middling uplands were quoted at 10{c., while some holders demanded 10jc. Flour continued stiff, especially ior the better class of grades, with more doing. Sales of wheat were confined to common and mid- dling fair lots, at unchanged prices. Corn was plenty and heavy; sound yellow was at 56c.a 57c., and prime Southern white soldat 60c. Pork was sold in moderate lots, at $19. $19 12}, and in small parcels at $19 25 for mess; 1,000 bbls. sold for Au- gust delivery at $17. Bacon, lard and cut meats were all firm. Sugars were steady, with sales of 430 a 500 hhds. Cuba, at prices given in another eolumn. Coffee was quiet. Freights continued firm, with a fair amount offering. To Liverpool, 38,000 a 40,000 bushels wheat and corn were engag- ed in bulk and bags, at 5}d.a 6d., and about 4,000 a 6,000 bbls. flour at 2s. 3d. a 28. 6d. The Presidential Campaign—The Elements in Active Fermentation. Our columns are garnished to-day with a very copious and interesting chapter of news- paper extracts and correspondence on the Pre- sidential campaign, prepared expressly for the edification of the readers of the Herato, irre- spective of sect, section or party. Tais compi- lation, considering that we are within two weeks of the great Cincinnati democratic jug- gler’s convention, will be found at this crisis particularly refreshing and interesting. We give, first, the history by the Albany Atlas and Argus of the democratic hard shell faction of this State, and their Know Nothing transgressions, iniquities and sins of the last two or three years. It is a “briet” of the case which would, in our opinion, operate to the expulsion of the “ hards” from the seats of the elect at the national family Sanhedrim, but for the manifesto published yesterday of the soi disant radical democracy, and the contents of our despatch from Washington, stating that the Southern delegates were opposed to being made umpires in the local disputes of New York. Next, our readers will perceive that our newspaper cotemporaries have very conflicting views of the relative strength of Messrs. Bu- chapnan, Pierce, Hunter and Douglas at Cin- cinnati, and of the probable issue of the Con- vention. Some suppose that if Mr. Pierce felt aseured.of a reliable majority to begin with, he would not hesitate to enforce the abolition of the two-thirds rule. We are seriously of this opinion; but we also suspect that the New Hampshire candidate has discovered the secret that if there isa majority for him among the delegates for a commencement, it is but a com- plimentary majority, with a large moveable margin for the actual work of a nomination. In this exigency the two-thirds rule will, of course, continue to be the law; for though it may be fatal to the aspirant of the White Houre, it may also be rendered just as deci- sive sgainst his most formidable rival, and thus leave an opening for another trial in 1860. We see nothing in the present aspect of things to change our misgivings of these Cin- cinnati jugglers. With the same materials, most of the same aspirants, and the same jea- lousies among them that were developed in 1844, embittered to open and ruinous rebellion in 1848, and only aggravated by the attempted compromise upon Pierce in 1852, we can only look to the same result—the sinking of every conspicuous candidate, and the anointing of some obscure and inoffemsive gentleman as the happily discovered ‘first choice” of the great democratic party. Or, more briefly, when the Kilkenny cats shall have devoured each other the email fry will step in and rule the roast. This is what we may expect from the Cincin- nati jugglers and gamblers, but we shall be- believe in better things when they come to pass. The Know Nothings throughout the Nortb, wherever they have held a State Council, have virtually declared for a fusion with the Seward abolition league, or they have been split into pieces upon the rock of niggerism, where so many other brave political barks have foundered and gone to the bottom. The pro- ceedings of the disjointed American Order in Pennsylvania are only the same game of dis- ruption and dissolution that was played in Massachusetts the other day. Our reporter's account of the Edie free soil faction of the Know Nothings at Harrisburg shows that that active nigger worshipper, Col. Ford, of Ouio, NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MAY 19, 1856. bee been at bie old tricks among the brethren of Pennsylvania. Io Virginia, on the contrary, the American party, at their State Convention, ae will be teen trem our correspondent’s copious report, bad every good and bopefal time of it. Tae Hon. A. H. B. Stuart, Preeident Fillmore’s Se cretary of the Interior, preeented a clean bill for the positive election of Mr. Fillmore by a majority of eleven of the whole dectoral vote of the Union— giving him the following States, to wit:—Maseacbusette, Rhode Itland, New Yorks, New Jersey, Pennsylvanit, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisi- ana, Missouri, (bere he begins to matter,) Cali- fornia, Delaware, Texas and Florida, The strangest part of all is, in speaking for the American party of Virginia at thdr State Con- vention, that Mr. Stuart should have left out “the Old Dominion” from his catslogue. Per- haps, however, had he ventured eo far, his listeners would have had their misgivings con- cerning New York and Penneylyania, Good rule, that, in travelling a doubtfdl road to halt at the first lodging place for the night, Lastly, in behalf of the anti-slavery territo- tial programme of the Seward Nigger Worship- pers’ Holy Alliance, we havea bref letter trom Judge McLean, of Ohio, (one d the Justices of the Supreme Court ot the United States,) to Gen. Cages, defining the Jadge’sposition on the question of elavery in the Territories, The decree of the learned Judge amounts to thia:— Firet, That freedom is the nataral condition of the Territories. Second, That Congress hasno power to introduce slavery into them. Third, That the territorial governments, being subject to Congreee, cannot do that which their master hee no power todo. Fourth, That Congress, on the other hand, may as a police regulation interdict the introduction of slavery into any Territory. This opinion of the zrudite Judge is almost as unanswerable as the statement of the case ot the Kentucky lawyer, who said, “ When my client borrowed the iron pot afore- said it had a hole ia it ; when she returned the pot it was sound; and thirdly, may it please the court, she never had the pet at all.” We, therefore, turn Judge McLean over to the Phi- Jadelphia Sewardite Fusion Convention. Per- haps they may think his letter broad enough and strong enough for their somination—per- haps not. The Cincinnati demccraticjugglers and gam- blers will open the ball. Possibly they may astonish the country with their self-sacrificing- magnanimity ; but the charces are in favor of a small potato, or areguiar Tammany Hall row and explosion. In the interval we stall keep our readers advied of the passing changes in the ecencry. Read our chapter of this morning. Mr. CraMPron anp CestRat AMERICA--SoMB- THING TO TALK ABoutT—Norwinc 70 Figur Anour. —Our special despatch, published yesterday, notified the public, now a little anxious, of the postponement of Mr. Crampton’s dismissal for day or two. That item was perfectly authen- tic; but the country bas become s0 accustomed to the “dissolving views” of the present Cabi- net that it will not be believed that Mr. Cramp- ton will be dismissed until the deed is done. To send Mr. Crampton home is nothing. It is not @ war measure; it is a peace movement. It will be the removal of the everlasting en- listment difficulty from the two troublesome negotiators, Palmerston and Marcy. The peo- ple of England care nothing for it; we care nothing for it. It isa matter of police with us, just like any other violation of our laws. Mr. Crampton gotten out of the way and the laws have been vindicated. England cannot re- call him, because he only obeyed orders; we can dismiss him; and it is probable that the true men in England sincerely desire that it may be done. There are some nervous and weak peo- ple who have confounded auch 8 proceeding with offensive and warlike measures. That is great folly—there is net a speck of war in it. It amounts to nothing but an act of our own internal administration, with which England has no concern. We send her agent home, saying to her Majesty, Mr. Crampton has vio- lated our laws, and in doing so in a govern- ment solely of laws, his example cannot be tolerated; we, therefore, send him back to you. What we do is to protect ourselves, to execute our statutes, and to preserve the integrity o: cur institutions. There isno war in this; it is food for silly alarmists; that is all. Again : The Belize colony is another affair which is said to threaten war. If so, will somebody tell us how it is to come about? England disputes with us on the Clayton treaty; but she offers to refer the matter to an umpire of our own choosing. War, then, must come of our declaration by Congress; for if resorted to, it must be to dislodge Great Bri- tain in the Belize. That declaration must be made after we shall have rejected the proffer ed arbitration. Now there is such a thing as an abeurdity; at least there is with those who express fears of a war on such a basis. No- thing can be more silly--nothing more pre- posterous. Even Marcy and Palmerston, who have been playing for the stakes, have never thought of war. They are annoying tricksters and selfish bunglers, but they know that no harm will come of the dispute. We have just witnessed the termination of the great Ruesian war. The protocols of the Conference at Paris we have already publish- ed. They beapeak peace to the world. They write the history of the last war. They teil the story of that agency in settling disputes, and proclaim to mankind that it isa murder- ous process at best, doing endless injury—doing nobody any good. The Paris Conference has become the underwriters of natione, assuring peace, and inaugurating the reign of industry throughout the world for many years to come— perhaps for ever. Ships and railroads are to take the place of forts, and internal commerce ia to unite the nations into one great social family, and to give the law to their political intercourse. Political revulsions in the domes- tic concerns of nations will be, doubtless, of frequent recurrence; but such things only indi- cate the progress of the people in matters of local government—the gradual encroachment of the popular upon the aristocratic power of the nations. We have no serious dispute with England— nothing to estrange the’two nations from each other— certainly nothing to quarrel about, In the Crampton and Belize matters there does not appear to be ® point of possible collision. Nicaracva Arrains.—Among the arrivals¥in town on Saturday was Col. Parker H. French. He visits New York on business connected with Nicaragua, and stops, we believe, at the St. Nicholas, We understand that Col. French to be held some time this week, to take into | coneideration the affairs of Nicaragua Aid is already proffered largely here and elsewhere tor General Walker, and it is thought that ia addition to the “emall supplies,” a loso for balf a million of dollars will be effected for the benefit of manifest destiny. Tue Crry CHampertain.—We understand that the Mayor will make the appointment of City Chamberlain, in place of Robert Kelly, deceased, in a few daye, and that as a condi- tion of the appointment he will require that the deposit bank shall allow interest upon the balance in bank to the credit of the city. He has twice recommended the Common Council to pars an ordinance fixing a rate of interest for the amount on deposit with the bank in which the City Chamberlain allows the account to be placed, and which at times is very Jarge, amounting to almost two millions of dollere, but like many other important mea- sures he has proposed, did not receive the con- sideration of that body. The equity, practica- bility and importance of this course is so appa- rent that it is a matter of surprise that the city fathers did not long ago adopt it. No intereet has ever been paid into the city treasury from this source, and the Mayor, it appears, is determined to assume the respon- sibility, and make a positive requirement trom the person appointed as City Chamberlaia, connected with the greater one of the absolute security of the deposite, that a just rate of in terest should be received by the city. The city is obliged to pay interest when using the junds of individuals, and it should receive in- terest from those who have the use of its money. The State derives a large revenue from in- terest on ita canal receipte, and there can be no good reason why the city should not be placed on a similar footing. Saaz Tue Unitep States Dept ve REDEEMED? —A petition has been sent to Senator Fish by Mr. McKissom, of this city, praying that the outstanding debt of the United States, con- tracted during the Revolutionary war, be re- deemed in public land. It seems that, not- withstanding the liberal provisions of Hamil- ton’s act, quite a large portion of the continen- tal money still remains unredeemed. At the time of Hamilton’s great report, in 1790, the total debt of the United States, including in- terest, amounted to $54,124,464; and the State debts, which were assumed, to about twenty- five millions more, making in all in round num- bers eighty millions. No such sum was ever paid by the United States Treasury. Much of the continental money was destroyed and lost Some was hoarded and lost sight of. Some was locked up in trusts and pledged. A por- tion was no doubt withheld by patriotic citi- zene, unwilling to add to the embarrassment of the government. Some was retained as relics. Altogether, from these various sources, @ con- siderable amount escaped the beneficial provi- sions of the bill, and now remains unpaid. Mr. McKiseom is ready to take land for two thousand dollars he hes. The Secretary of the Treaeury is no doubt prepared to show cause why this proposal should or should not be com- plied with. Whether it is or no, there can be no doubt these old evidences of indebtedness ought to be redeemed, in money or otherwise, as soon as possible. It does not comport with the honor of the United States that their un- paid promises to pay should be hawked about at auctions of curiosities. THE LATEST NEWS. BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, interesting from Washington. THE CASE OF MINISTER CRAMPTON—LORD CLAREN DON’S INTERPRETATION OF THE CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY—GOSSIP ABOUT THE PRESIDENCY—HOW STANDS THE OLD DOMINION—NOSES COUNTED — PERSONAL OPINIONS OF THE CANDIDATES—A RICH JOKE ABOUT BUCHANAN—MORE BACKING AND FILLING ABOUT CRAMPTON, ETC., ETC. Wasmincton, May 18, 1866, My despatch of last evenicg proves to be strictly cor- rect. Mr. Crampton’s case comes up in Cabinet meeting to-morrow, when he will certainly be dismissed, altboagh Mr. Marcy is decidedly opposed to such acourse, Tne relations existing between Marcy and Crampton are o? the most friendly character. Lord Clarendon’s revly to Mr. Marey’s letter is very interesting. After a lengthy rehash of all bis previous arguments {no the case, Lord Clarendon, says:—‘‘Therefore, her Ma. jeety’s government concludes that it is not proven that there was apy violation of, or any intention to violate- any law of the United States.”’ Mr. Sartizes, the French Minister, has volunteered an opinicn to “the Executive, that if Mr. Crampton is dis- missed, Mr. Dallas’ dismirsal will assuredly follow. This opinion I give for what it is worth. He says the British government will attribute the dismissal of their Minister to causes other than the enlistment difficulty, and will act accordingly. Mr. Dallas writes that heis now in possession of an of: ficial letter from Lord Clarendon to the British Parlia- ment, in which his lordship gives the precise construc- tion to the Clayton- Bulwer treaty which is contended for by cur government. Mr.D. says it is more conclusive than anything he has seen writien on the subject. Mr. Dalles soya, also, that things look most unpromisiog in London. ‘The President informed Mr. Buchanan to-dey that he desired to see him to-morew with reference to the Cramp- ton difficulty; therefore, he will not leave for Wheatland, until Tuesday morning. ‘The Presidential discussions grow hotter and hotter as the time for the Cincinnati Convention draws near. A great deal of curiosity has heen manifested about the vote of Virginia, and I have prepared the following state- ment frem authentic data:— Claimed for Buchanan. 2 1 Rot yet appointed, * Not yet appolated. Claimed by : Not yet appointed. . Not yet appointed, 2 1 Ii It will be reen that four districts, or eight delegater, are yet to be heard from. Buchanan’s friends claim all but one of there, giving him twenty-two of the thirty delegates. They feel sure of twenty. The remainder are for Hunter, Pieree, Douglas, &s., &e, There is a report from Norfolk that Dr. Edwards and Col. William B. Sands have been selected to repreeent that district. They go unplecged. Resolutions favoring the nomination of James Buchanan for Presicent were voted down. ‘This may be relied upon, Buchanan is strong in the Virginia delegation, the opposition to htm being split up into two or three factions. The friends of Buchanan now claim 120 votes to start with in the Convention. Pierce’s friends claim 100. Douglas claims Vermont ard all the North Western States excep! Michigan. A great mapy traps have been laid for Old Buck, but he seme to be quite equal to them, and #o far has escaped them. I hear that there have been some little confabs about the nomination. Buchanan says that when he was abroad he felt no particular interest in the result of the election. He supposed himself out of the ring, But now that he has returned and finds his friends en- tering into the matter se warmly, he does fee} an interest in the matter. Douglas says that antil is to be invited to speak at the mass meeting | jately te kad xo futention of running, and, indeed, dee vo persons! erpiration that way sow. He had been 1o!d al) along that the Nebraska bili wae 20 unpopular that po perecn so closs)y identified with it as himself or Mr. Pierce would have the eligh'est show. Now, how- ‘ever, when the democratic party intend to take up this single issue and fgbt to win cn i*, Donglass says he thinke 15 @ bard cace if the man who introduced the bill should not have schance. So ‘sia the pool.” Mr. Pierce thinks that after the sacrifices he made, for the first two years of hie reign, for the abolitionists at the North, by giving all the cffices to the Van Burenites, ‘the tremendcns somerset be bad to take afterwards to plesse the South, ard the ful puli oa Wis conscience canted by wri icg thore K: meseages, be deserves @ seornd term. So he enters for the race, It is now fgured onceveral slates that the hard and soft Celegations from New York are both to be admitted or both rejected. The Southern delegates sey that they do not ful y comprehe: d New York politic, and do aot, thervfove, wish to act as empire in @ local dispute Their view is, that while the hards rhow a clean national record, the acfta at the last election polled the most yotes who sre anxious to remain in the party; also, that @ volte exhibit free roil antecedents, the hares ze sadly tinged with Know Notbingism. There is. curious story afloat about Buchanan and Wedd. When Mr. Buchanan arrived in Washington he found a letter frem Col. Webb, ixviting him to dinner, i are‘urn, I suppore, for the courtesies received by Webb when Buchanso was Minister in London. Mr. Buchanan was to re'ec: the party, but Webd retained the privilege of inviting three or four persons. Mr. Ba- ebanap accepted the {nvitation; but it happened that the President cent him an invitation for the same day. Of course. at in the case of the Queen against the Lord Mayor, he felt himeelf cbi'ged to go to the President’s. It turned out to be the Inchies: thirg In the world, for Buchavan woald have met William H. Seward and Charles Sumner at Webb’s dinner table. Whether it was an arranged affair or not, it would ave killed Buchanan. It covid have been telegraphed al) over the conntry that the first dinner Mr. Suchanan attended in Washirgten was with Webb, Seward and Evwner, and that be was hobd-nobbing with the nigger worshippers, By the way, did you notice the leading article of the Qourter and Enquirer of Friday last rela- tive to Mr. Buchanan? 1 learn thir evening, tbat seventy thourand copies of Glancy Jones’ speech. defending Mr. Bachanan, hive been subecribedifor by memners of Congress. Marcoleta is getting up a protest against the frezogni- tion cf the Walkez-Rivaa government. I sm told that he pitches into Marey and Cushing awfally. ‘The Crimean officers have not yet reported Crampton’s cage comes before the Cabinet again to-day. Cars is preparing a speech vindicating the course of the acminietration in this matter. News from Mexico, THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE LATE REVOLUTION PAR- DONED—REIUBN OF GEN. GADBDEN. Barrimone, May 18, 1856. New Orleans papers of Mendsy are at hand, containing dates from Mexico to the 8th ins}.

Tre BroHrs PRINTING TELEGRAPH INSTRUMENT FINISH- ED.— We ar ified to learn that this wonderful inven- tion bss, at last, received its finishing touch, and will be Immediately placed upon the line between this city ani Philadelphia, We are assured, upon undoubted authori- ty, that the machines, so far as it has beea possible to test them, thrcngh a cofl of wire 100 miles in length, have realised the most sanguine expectations of Mr. Hughes and his friends, and there appears to be no reason to doubt but that the invention wili speedily work an entire révo- lution in telegraphirg throughout theworld, This inven- ticn may be called a priotirg press and telegraph instru- ment combined, for it prints all mersages, in plain Roman cepitals, with unerring correctness, and at an almost in- credible rate of speed, averaging. in the ordinary despatch cf business, from 20 000 to 25,000 letters per hour. The Hughes inetroment clearly demonstrates the practicabili- ty of sending and receiving mes:ages im opposite direc- tions over the same wire at the same instant of time, and with the utmost ease, reguisrity and certeinty. It willcon- tequently require but one wire and one operator, at any given pcint, tosend and receive as much business as can be transmitted by the aid of four or five operators, and an equal number of wires, uncer.the,Morse system. Another, equally mpcrtant, peculiarity connected with the Hughes invention is the undoubted fact tnat it will work per- teetly in very lorg circui‘s, and wi:h unerring acsuracy in all states of the atmosphere—neither rain nor snow having any ptible effect upon it. There’ore, at seascns when the More and House instruments are utterly powerless, even in cirouits of fifty miles, there is every reason to believe that the Hughes instrument wi!l work reliably in circuits of one or two thousand miles. The simplicity and durability of the new machine .will compare fevorably with the Morse, and it is vastl; 3 rior, in these respects, tothe House instrument. The governing principle of this invention is wholly dissimilar vo that of the Morse, House, and all other telegraph in- struments, ard, consequently, there can be no difficulty on the score of the patent which, we understand, has 25,000 or $160,000 to the Amsrican been sold for abi Telegiaph Company—a new association, having its head hee per in this city, but composed of gentlemen of the best res stability, residing in different sections of the United tes and the Biel North American Pro- t to say, that Peter vinces, and of which its suffi Cooper, Esq., {a the President, and Wilson G.

As tbe clerk in the Mayor’s office who has more parti- cular charge of the granting of passports, and who has peen attached to that office for nesrly twenty-five years, I deem it my duty to notices communication in the Herat of this dsy, from E G. W. Butler, Jr., Secretary of the United States Legation at Berlin, uinp'icating. the way of doing that businers by the Mayors ot New York. That gentleman states that it has been the custom of this cffice to practise great abuses in the granting of paseports to persons not naturalized, and that avy pase- port frem the Mayors of this city is not recognised by the government there. Now, the fact is that this office does ee goers as he describes, but bas, at the of e applicant, stated officially that he has declared his tention to become a citizen of the United States, at the time aoe gras Lay 4! to Cad pass) which c recure to bim any special rivileges abroad—that tkey were to be procured only rom the Depsrtment of State at Washington. Sinca Mayor Wood has been in office, no passport has been grented without this explanation having been given. It 18 scarcely worth while to add that the $2 charged is in pursuance of law, for the attaching of the Mayoralty seal, and that in all cases it goes into the city treasury. For the passport iteelf there has never been soy charge what- ever, G. W. HINCAMAN. Personal Intelligence. ARRIVALS. From Bavre. in the steamship Bar.

Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne’s comalimentary benefit at Niblo’s on Saturdey, called together one of the great houres which New York always gives to ite tavorites, Nearly three thousand tickets were sold; one thousand dollars were taken at the door, and not an inch of stand~ ing room in the capacious thea're was left unoccupied. The play was Mrs. Heyne’s adaptation of “Camille,” and her performance merited all the eulogistic notioss of the Southern press. At the end of the play Mra, Hayne was called out, and addressed the audience as follows:— sppei 2. the numerous ich the #1 Yindvese extended to my efforts, my sense of obligation becomes doubly greul, and as I atiempt to express the deep foslings of my heart, I but t90 éeeply feel how inadequate ' bowever aswui rest ted that ther ‘be cherished by me as ore of tbe a of Soren: ‘With these feelirgs 1 bid you am affectionate jarewel). : Mra, Hayne sails for California to morrow.

At the Broapway TukaTRs a new piece is announced for this evening, the thirty frst night ot the engage- ment of Mr. and Mrs. Baroey Williams. It is burievque called ‘XL., the Female Forty Thiever, or the Faizy Fili- busters.” In this plece we shail seo forty pretty girls, headed by Mre.

At Lavra Keene's Varierixs, ‘ Diane’? has been played ix times, and ‘‘ My Wife’s Mirror’’ bas reached its eighth representation. Tne bill for this eveping includes “The Marble Heart,” presented by request, and ‘ My Wife’s Mirror.”” Mirs Laura Keene and Mr. Jordan act in both pleys. A new piece, {rem the clever pen of Br: ugham, is underlined.

The rumor that M’lle Sarab Felix had leased this house for French plays was not quite correct. She in- tenis todo so in the autumn of next year, and will visit Paris in the meantime to get a company. At BcRTo’s THFATRE, that charming actress, Mise Agnes Robertson, commences an engagement, and plays in two of her peculiar pieces, “Andy Blake,” and ‘The Young Actress.” Mrs, C.

Suicwe sy SHoormc.—On Ssurdsy afternoon, Mr, Henry Eling, of the firm of Hayden, Eling & Sanders, faucet manufacturers, No. 306 Pearl street, eommi:ted uicide at his p!ac» of business, by shooting himself in . the head with a pistol. The report of « pistol being heard ty the members of the firm, they proceeded to one of the upper lofts, from whence the sound proceeded, and there, o their horror and astonishment, they found Mr. Eling ying on the floor weltering in his blood, and in the last agonies of peath. Medical assistance was promptly pro. cured, but it was of no use, as deceased died in a few minutes afler the fatal shot was fired. The ball pene- trated the skull in the right side, near the temple, and loéged in the substance of the brain. *The ekul} was much shattered, and the brains were scattered about the floor in the immediate neighborbood of the body. It ap- peared from papers found on tbe person of the deceased that he was led to commit suiside by nancial embarrass- ments. The Hamilton Insurance Company, he said, re- fused to pay him sn {nsurance of $2,500, which he had on his stock when burned out, in Canal street, in Decem- ber Jast. The refusal of the company to pay over the above mentioned amount caused the deceased a it of mental suffering, and was the means of making ia enter into speculations which proved faitures. Thus i was that Mr. according to hie. own statement, was led to the commission of such arash act. Deceased left a letter, cated ‘‘ Saturday morping’’ directed to his wife, in wh'ch was enslosed two checks for about $600. In thin note he gave as « rearon for committing suicide, the probability of his decom! ®@ lunatic ins very short time; and that such a catastro; might fall him, he deter- mined, while ina sane state of mind, to put an end to his existence by shooting. He also mentioned the names of some gentlemen whom he desired to become his executors. Deceased lived in Poplar street, Brooklyn, where he Jeaves awife and one child to lament his un- timely end. Coroner Hills held an inquest upon the body of the deceased. Found Drownxp.—Corontr Hills held an inquest upoc the body of an pnknown man, who was found drowaed at the foot of Clarkson street, North River, From some- pers found on the pane of deceased, it ie supposed: mat ‘his name was Henry Ehlers, a native of Denmark, but lately a resi¢ent’of Kensselaer county, im this State. For fart information all parties interested are re- eee to call at the Coroner’s office, No. 37 Chambers - a City Intelligence. Tus WeraTHER was exceedingly pleasant yesterday. There was that delicious blending of the freshness of" spring with the glow of early summer, that is so gratefud and so rarely experienced. It was indeed ‘a bridal of the earth and sky,” and New York had on its hohday garments, to do honor to the nuptia's, The heavy rains of the last two weeks have left no unpleasant conse- quences behind them, but, on the ecntrary, have had the effect of cousidg the grass and foliage to grow most luxu- riantly. For the first time this season, Hoboken was crowded to excess yesterday, and the ferry boats to Sta- ten Ieland and other favorite summer resorts did an ex cellent business in conveying pleasure seekers to greener spots than New York can afford. While bata, pants and vests were out in alarming new this season, macy of them gave a decided im- pression of the “light of other days.” All New York ‘was cutdoors. Broadway and the avenues fairly swarmed with specimens of animated goods, and a walk of a few blocks would give one a miaty impression of a large Five ch J of shirt, and a certain of sha feathers and illusion, with a figure.
