There will be a convocation in the Wig- wam, where an oration wilt be delivered by Horaco F, ~~ Mlazk, aud.to this the public are invited, free gratis; after which tere will be a private feed of the Sa- cheme and iheir invited guests, at which Senator Toombs is expected to be present.

Tho equestrian statue of Washington, for so long a time in the process of erection on Union square, will be uncovered at 844 o’clock én the moraivg, aud an appropriate oration wil! be deli- vered by Dr. Bethune to commemorate the event. It will be seen from these facts that the Fourth will be duly ho- nored in New York ‘There ic, however, a large class of our population who dread the return of the “ glorious Fourth,’ and who re- use to participate in the festivities, not from lack of a Proper patriotivm, but because the city to them is a nui- ance unti! itis allover. There is sucha firing of cannon, guns aad jstols in the street, such a constant din and roar, from ‘ morn till dewy eve,’’ that they prefer elther to leave city Until it is all ovgg, or else shut them- @elyes up i {heir rooms and keep@@g ooo! and as quiet as ‘their nerves wit! permit.

To Young New York the Fourth of July is a tremendous fwstitution: it the day tor which all other days were made, anjon which the accumulations of coppers and six- ences for montus past are to be spent. On the “Fourth’’ youngsters begin to literally make a noise in the world, and a terriv!¢ racket they keep up, surely. It began last night in the Park, aud will be kept up until late to-night. All manner of fireworks will be exploded, and to a stran- ger the c: seem like Sebastopol suffering from a bombardment. Toa trve American citizen this is indeed a glorious celebration, and he must be @ poor specimen of a man whose heart does not thrill at the recollections that sur round the dsy.

RELIEF FOR THE FRENCH SUFFERERS, Mr. m announced that he had a communication from the committee of Americans appointed to raise subscriptions for the sufferers by the inundation in France. He hoped the Chamber would act. Europe al- ways looked to America in an emergency, and he trusted that something would be done. Royvat Purtrs offered the following: * Whereas, the Chamber of Commerce, feeling It to be a common duty to cultivate by every proper means friend- Iy relations with the people of other countries, thus ac- Knowledging the sacred ties of the human race and hu- man brotherhood, and believing that the expression of this sentiment by good oflices aud acts of kindness, is at all times promotive of mutual good will; and especially so when it is the manifestation of sympathy with human suf- fering, respectfully invite their fellow-citizeus to unite with the organization already formed by Freach and American citizens, to devise some appropriate method of expressing the sympathy of our people with those of France, who are now laboring under distress, and suf- fering from the recent inundation in a portion of that em- pire—therefore, Resolved, That a committee of twenty members be ap- pointed by the Chair to carry into effect the foregoing suggestion. dames De Prvster OcpeN supported the resolution, and urged that all who were interested in commerce should do something for the sutterers, as the merchaats were benefitted more than any other class by the efforts of these people in ordinary times, The resolution was pass- ed unanimously, and the following named a, ap- u pointed such committee, ia accordance with the recolution, viz.

Davin Ocpey read a communication from the agent of Rodgers’ marine signals, asking the Board not to interfere with the law recently passed by the Senate, compelling merchants iv ase them. Mr. Qcoen denounced the communication. The com- mittee had r ted in favor of this code of signals, and the Board of Underwriters had confirmed that view, but the merchants were opposed to Congress acting in the matter at all. Self interest would induce merchants to act, ond it was an invayton of their rights tor Congress to alow. Mr. Ogden concluded by offering the ved, That this Chamber do protest against the ¢ of the bill reported by the Cominittes of Com of the United States Senate, to * vide for the introduction of a uniform code of marine because of its compulsory character. ‘That this Chamber never intended the report of their committee to recommend that the shipowners ald be compelled to use the said signals, under a penalty for not doing #0.

The War with Spain—Unsuccessful Efforts made lo Arrang: the Dificully—Refusal of the Mexican Government to Receive the Spanish Minister—Movements of" the French. ‘Wid there bo war with Spain’ Thatis the question,— andlamafraid 1] must devote this letter to its elucida- tion. You are aware that in 1854 the Spanish Minister to this country entered into a treaty with Santa Anna, called ‘th Spanish Convention, wherein Mexico stipulated to pay Spanish subjects the sum of $5,802,662, with tatereet, at tho rate of Sper cent per annum until paid, and the ereation of an annual siaking fund of five per cent to se- gure the extinction of the debt. It was known at the time that the amount was unfair and fraudulent by at least two milhons—so, mueh so that the business. ‘was taken out of the hands of the proper officers in the De- partment of Foreign Affairs and entrusted to others who had po scrup’es upon the subject about agrecing tothat sum. The motives that induced Santa Anna to make the treaty can only be conjectured. Some think he was paid larely tor his good will. Others no less firmly believe it of one of the steps taken to secure the alliance with Spain, treated of by Senor Vivo: and others again that it was connected with the question of placing s Spanish priace on the throne of Mexico, But no one imagines the treaty was made from honest motives: nor do the bond- holders assert it, even at this time, when their interests are so directly at stake. It need scarcely be said that Ss promt liberal vernment repudiated this treaty, that fie matter should be once more opened a anlinen cuineniad aed amicable settlement. The bondholders were however clamorous for pre, til Spain was induced to send a special Pini Senor Santos Alvarez, aud with him to Vera Cruz, demand the fulfilmont of the treaty, and at the same time menace the nation upon the arrival of the Minister, a few weeks ago, he was refused aw offi- cial recognition until the tleet ehould depart from Mexi. can waters. Sautos Alvarez replied that the flect was not subject to his orders, but to those of the Ca General of Cuba. Still, nothing official could take place. At last the Spanish Envoy made a private visit to Presi- dent Comonfort, under convey of the French Minister, Count Gabriac. ‘The result of this interview was not satis factory—ut least so far as related to the payment of the bondholders, Next, somo individuals largely interested met some of the Cabinet by appointment on Sunday, when the whole mater was amicably discussed, and when it was agreed that 40 per cent of the amount should be deducted, and a few additional articles put to the convention treaty to make all square for the future, But next day it was discovered thut all the bondholders would ict agree to thig, and some others were absent, 80 that for many reasons Phis tell through, the Spanish Minis- ter, m the meanwhile, saying that it the porsons interested were willing to relinquish part of their claims, he had po objectians, but at the same time he conld not assist. The dispute among the bondholders was from the fact that some said their claims were legitimate and just, while others were known to be fraudulent. Therefore, those whove claiins were spurious ought to suffer all the deduc- tion, Aguin, the bondholders were not unanimous as to how mueh percent ought to be deducted, opinions va rying frem ten to forty per cent. The opposition papers Were not idle amid these disputes, but positively asserted that the Spani-l Minister would leave in a tew days for Vera Cruz and Havana. Thus passed last week, with the firm conviction m the minds of all that Santos Alvarez would take bis departure. The liberal papers also lad their opinions about the question, one day asserting that the question Was on the eve of settlement, and apother day declaring that the matter wes fur be- yond an amicable arrangement. senting the views of the French embassy, sai first The French paper, repre- trom the at it would net be adjusted, and has ily to the «ame opinion, for “the wish was T hall explain to any hereafter. liberal pape mort advisedly they wore afraid t would be bombarded be suitable preparations were made to give the Spanish a warm reception.

(Correspondence of the New Orleans Pica: gt Mexico Ciry, ‘june 15, At ordinary times I might be enabled to cok news enough from common events to fill a letter. But at the present moment all public interest is absorbed in one great question, which is that in relation to the settlement of the Spanish'Convention treaty. Heretofore I have ex- plained this treaty, made by Sabta Anna with the Spanish Minister, and of the firm determination of the present government to repudiate it as a fraud so base, palpable and stupendous, as to stand forth a master work of its kind, even in the hands of Santa Anna, Tt was well known in Spain that this government would not recognise it, but was willing to peaceably adjust the amount really due to Spantsh subjects. Spain, however, having other objects in view, availed herself ‘of this op portunity to send a menacing fleet to Vera Cruz, and at the same time made a show of negotiating, while in fact it is understood @ division of the army is about to leave Cuba to follow A? the arrival of the feet. Of course the Minister was not officially received while the fleet remained. panish bondholders Fong to mediate; they offered, at least a majority of them, to reduce their claim; the French Minister escorted the Spa- nish Ambassador to a private interview with the Presi dent: it was said the Spanish representation was about to leave Mexico; that the fleet coula not be withdrawn without orders) from the Captain General of Cuba ; in short, I cannot tell you half the stories put ailoat, and with much truth in most of them, It would be uscless to relate all the reports from day to day about! the adjustment of the citticulties, as they were one by one contradicted by subsequent events. From the first f did not believe that the matter wonlt be amicably ad justed, although Mexican aut Spaviard are like some other white people, “mighty uncertain.” Ido not believe that Mexico Is dispored to settle, nor does Spain wish it to be tied. All The talk, all the private negotiations, all the hewspaper publications, amount absolutely to nothing. ‘The fleet came to insult Mexico; and Mexico, like Maw- worm, loves to be insulted, especially by Spain, at. tis time. ‘The present liberal government is courting popu- larity, ike € certain candidate in your State desirous of being a coustable, who went in “for all the popular mea: sures of the day and the next war.’ His platform was politic and pugnacions, but not exactly precise enough for a Virginia politicitn, The Mexiean Executive, on the contrary, does not profess to desire hostilities, although a war wiih Spain sight be claseed among the most popuiar institutions of this country. ‘This isa pretly quarrel as it Ftands—with Mexican hatred on the che side and Spanish contempt aud inso jenee on the other; with the wish demand for the erewty to be complied with, aul the Mexican demand that Jwatice first be done, Spain knows that France will ws sist to humble Mexico; and in tuen Mexico ki 8 that the United States will avsist her to humble both of them. ‘The people here do not imagine there will be war; the government is sure of it.
