An interesting communication from the City In- spector, in regard to the health of the city, will be found in another part of our paper this morning. By the arrival of the steamship Granada at New Orleans on Friday night, we have received news from San Francisco to the 5th, and from Greytown to the 2lst inst. The steamship Illinois had left Aspinwall for New York with $1,600,000. The Vigilance Committee were still in session at San Francisco, and their authority firmly established. All the arms collected by the law and order men in San Francisco had been seized by the Vigilance Committee. Judge Terry, of the Supreme Court, had been arrested for stabbing one of the Commit tee’s policemen. The Governor was at Sacramento. The accounts from the mines were cheering. The conduct of Mr. Herbert at Washington excited general disapprobation. Agricultural prospects were good. On the Isthmus of Panama affairs were quiet. Aspinwall was sickly. From Nica- vagua we learn that General Walker was inaugurated President on the 12th instant. Rivas was still in possession of Leon, and many na- tives, considering Walker's inauguration an act of nsurpation, baye declared agaist him—among them General Chillon and Col. Mendes, Much sickness prevailed among Walker's troops, and he was in great need of men and mony. Desertions from his army were frequent. No invasion had taken place at the latest dates, but it was considered certain that a league of the Northern States existed. The Indian fighting continued in Oregon. A battle had been fought on the Big Meadows, and forty Indians and ten whites killed. The Oregon election, it was considered, had resulted in favor of the democrate. From Mexico we have advices to the 22d imst. A conspiracy to restore Santa Anna to power had been discovered at Puebla. Many of the priests were implicated. From Kansas, by a despatch from Rock Island, we learn that General Stringfellow had issued a call for all Missourians to go over to Kansas before Au gust, so as to be enabled to vote at the November election ander Toombs’ bill. General Lane's party, mmmbering some 300 persons, had crossed the Mis souri for Nebraska City. Gen. Smith says if Lane enters Kansas be will arrest him. Our despatch from Washington informs us that the President and Congressional party that visited the steamship Vanderbilt by invitation yesterday, were treated rather cavalierly by Commodore Van- derbilt. The anticipated feast was not forthcoming, nor was there a single bottle of champagne cracked to enliven the occasion. The independent conduct of Commodore V.,s0 very different from that of those who usually visit Washington, may, from its rarity, have the effect of securing for him the de sired contract to carry the European mails. The House of Representatives was in session yes terday, and passed a few private bills. reference to another column it will be seen that the Commissioners of Health have issued a card to prevent the creation of unnecessary alarm im the public mind as to the present health of the city. In this statement it is shown that the mortality of the week just ended, compared with the number ‘of deaths for the corresponding week of 1855, is less hy sixty-six deaths. It is authoritatively stated that Ro diseases exist at present in the city in an epidemic form. The Commissioners meet every day, nd ‘assure the public that every timely precaution shall be taken on their part to ensure the preservation of the public health. Full reports of the proceedings of the Commissioners, thas far, have been given in the Henaxp, and will continue to be given darine the continuance of their sessions. ‘The cotton market was doll yesterday, and the sales were confined to » few hundred bales, without change in prices. When trade is dull on a Monday it ls usually called, on ‘Change, a “bloe Monday.” Taking the general state of trade yesterday, it might be termed a“ blue Satarday.” The transac. tions in floor were moderate. and the market closed doll at about the previous day's quotations. The sales of wheat were light and prices were without change of moment. Handsome new THlinois wheat was offered for sale by aample, deliverable in Sep. tember, at $1.80 for the prime white, and $1 70 for the red ditto. A handsome lot of new white Gene- see was also offered by sample, for future delivery, ‘on terms not stated. Corn was rather firmer. Supe rior Western mixed sold at 56)c. amd sound at 61a62c. Sound Southern yellow wae searce, and sold at 5c, 0 006, Pork was rather Grmer, with wy pderate sa ++ of mess at $20 37}. Sugars were in good de- mand, with sales at full prices. Coffee was firm, with limited transactions. Freight~Engagemenjs were moderate, and to Liverpool flour was engaged at easier rates, while to London and to th Coati- nent they were steady and unchinzed. The Coming Elections—New York In the Rapids. Did you ever see the majestic rapids of the Falls of Niagara? ever notice the calm, placid, mirror-like river coming down from Lake Erie, with an unruffied surface, and the very image of undisturbed tranquillity? All at once, on ap- proaching the abyss, it tumbles into foam, breaks into currents, dashes into spray, sweeps round the opposing rocks, rushes hither and thither, presses still onward, and after a few leaps and plunges, fallssublimely down the awful precipice, but emerges again from the deep, to pursue the calm tenor of its way! In this Presidential contest—this great struggle of public opinion—we, too, are in the rapids, Six months ago, so placid and so tranquil was it, we could scarce discern a ripple on its surface; now it breaks into wild commotion, rushes in every direction, surges against every obstacle, and seeks an outlet that shall give it rest. We are in the midst of a mighty political cur- rent. No better illustration can be given of it than those of the movements and counter move- ments which are now going on in this State and Union, in their agitation and their uproar. We are about to elect a President of the United States, a Governor and a Legislature in this State. Under the rapid developement of public opinion—under the pressure of its strong and majestic current—the result as to the Presi- deney is quite conceded, and it is considered, in all human probability, that Fremont will carry this State by the greatest majority ever given an electoral ticket. Everything is, in trath, tending that way. The newspapers are full of these movements and counter movements, all having reference to this denowement; but the wary politicians—the wire pullers, the corrupt cliques, the interested factions, and above all the finan- cial coferie—the Central Railroad interest—grown fat and lusty and overbearing with successful spoliation, are not yet content with the millions they have plundered from the public by means of legislation and monopolies. These are too keen, too watchful and too greedy to waste their time or exert their energies on the great questions of the country. The constitution, our foreign rela- tions, the honor of the nation, the prosperity of the people, are to them the idlest words and the most unmeaning of phrases. Let patriots and fools contend for liberty, these men have but one object, and that is plunder. In the confusion and contest of politicians for power, the financial combination we have alluded to holds the bag. and means to fillitup. We have frequently described the operations of this clique—we have followed them in their tracks— we know the road they travel, and understand the signals of their engineers and conductors. Indeed, they are showing more and more plainly every day their rea! intentions, and every hour their secrets are leaking out, Not more than two days since Thurlow Weed (even to name whom is to suggest every form of political treachery and sordid inconsistency) and his co- adjutor, BE. Corning, were closeted for two hours together, at acertain place in this city and under lock and key, The great oracle of the abolition- ists and the great democratic railroad iron im- porter, shut up mysteriously for two hours with their respective friends, and the door secured agaist all intruders! Notwithstanding all these precautions, their deliberations are known, and the result will be carried into effect, if possible, at the approaching conventions at Syracuse. There he arrangements are to be carried out at all hazards, if they can be. It is understood that the Presdential question is, in fact, a secondary affair. It is of no consequence to these men who is elected President, if they have the right Governor and Legislature; and to this object every energy will be directed. The first point is to secure the presiding officers of the two conventions at syracuse, This done, the committees will follow as a matter of course. We understand that to effeet this, at least five thousand pot house politicians, shoulder hitters and private agents will be furnished with free tickets over the Central Railroad—a body guard, « mob, or a constituency, as will best serve the oecasion. The outside pressure in this way will be enor- is intended it shall be irresistable. The next step is to unite the two conventions and to hit upon a compromise candidate out of those already secured by the railway interests in both With wonderful concession and unexampled magnanimity they will waive a pre- ference: for either will suit. Harmony will tri- umphb, because it is all arranged before hand, and the predetermined candidate will be presented to the people as the glorious evidence of a noble and disinterested fusion. Tl the consolidated committees, will report against any movements or any platforms which will en- r the railroad monopoly. No man, however ar, ifnot of the clique, will stand any chance for their support, and heaven and earth will be moved to defeat in particular the nomination of Fernando Wood. Three-fourths of the delegates to these con- ventions will be chosen within two weeks: two- thirds of these, though neutral at first, will, it is believed, be changed hy the outside pressure} and with money, promises, contracts, and offices, the railroad conspirators may do much. But for all this, there is a popular movement for Fer- nando Wood which is unmistakeable, and it is going on in quarters least suspected. With- in « few weeks there has been a tremendous tally everywhere in his favor. It would be the safest and soundest policy, therefore, to take him np at Syracuse. We learn that all the German papers representing the German vote, are not merely in favor of Col, Fremont, but of Fernando Wood also; and that the latter, for his conduct on the Maine liquor question, would be supported by them almost to a man. This is indeed a curious state of things, but not the leas to be well considered. There will be a com- plete severance of the Gubernatorial from the Presidential question—a complete disruption of party. Each tub will stand upon its own bottom. Rvery man will be left to vote as his own in- dividual feelings and interests may dictate, and he wit take the welcome and anusual opporta- sity of doing #0. ‘The democrats are satisfied that this State is lost to Buchanan. He has no strength—he is too far behind the times. In view of this, the Central Railroad combination mean him to his fate, in order to secure themselves; while the real democracy, anticipating this, are anxious to anite on Fernando Wood, and upset the unfaithful and treacherous monopolists. The independent movement of the voters (who will mous ; it conventions. joint committees, or to leave now separate) if any treacherous arrangements are resolved upon, will doubtless overthrow all the combinations of the wirepullers, and elevate by its influence the intelligence and character of the State. Truly, we may say again, New York is in the rapids, The Complexion of the Political Press. The Journal of Commerce takes exception to our newspaper statistics, and states that it is not fair to estimate the feelings of the people by the party color of newspapers. In the first place it charges that several democratic journals were classed by us with a lower circulation than they really have; and furnishes three examples of error. To this we have to say that it is quite likely that we committed slight errors in esti- mating the circulation of our cotemporaries. We took the census of 1850 as our basis, and it is quite probable that an increase may have taken place since then in the circulation of the prosper- cus journals, But we do not see why this argu- ment should operate exclusively in the case of the democratic journals: the republican press must have increased likewise; and if one set of figures be too low, the other must be equally aulty. And, at best, the errors that we may have made are slight, as the three cases quoted by the Journal show ; in the main, our calculation was correct and fair. The Journal charges further, that our list only comprised 418 out of the 2,000 or 3,000 news- papers in the United States. Precisely so. We called it a division of our exchange list according to politics; it purported to be nothing more. It will be quite time, when we undertake to furnish a classification of “all” the journals of the United States, for the Journal to charge us with having performed the work unsatisfactorily. Again. the Journal is of opinion that newspaper statistics are no guide in estimating the results of a Presidential question, as the democrats have always polled more votes in proportion to their newspapers than any other party.” We beg to inform the Journal that we are living in the year of grace 1856, and not 1825; that the President is Franklin Pierce, not James Monroe or Mr. Adams. For we perceive that the Journal is not aware of the progress the world has made during the last century. It imagines, no doubt, that matters are still on their old footing—that New York contains no presses beyond shipping ga- zettes like the Journal of Commerce, or small po- litical party sheets, in the pay and the interest of leading politicians. We must notify our cotem- porary that both the press and the public have improved since then—that there are at the pre- sent day more independent, self-governed jour- nals in a city than there used to be in a whole State; that everybody reads, and that men, as a general rule, subscribe to the journal which suits their temper. Indeed, common sense shows plainly enough that where the press is free and the people intelligent, the former must necessa- rily be a reliable indication of popular sentiment, asthe people are, at all events, more likely to take a newspaper in whose opinions they concur than one in which they have no con- fidence. Nor are illustrations of the fact want- ing. The press. of Paris, both in 1829-'30 and 1847-'48, clearly indicated the approach of a revolution; and any one who had judged of it as the Journal of Commerce judges of the press of America, would have fallen into the most wretched errors. In England, public opinion is always held to be prefigured by the press. Here, where the press iseven freer than it is in those countries, the newspapers are the only clues we have to public sentiment before the election. That they are a good and a safe clue, it will need something more than the assertion of the Journal of Commerce to prevent people from believing. It is our intention to publish shortly a much fuller and more comprehensive list of political journals, divided into three parties—republican, democratic and Know Mothing. The correctness of that list will depend somewhat on the courtesy and the promptitude of the various newspaper proprietors in sending us the statistics of their Cog tablishments. Meanwile, the following list may be considered as rather more favorable to Bucha- nan and Fremont than the facts justify: — Newspapers. Circulatim.

A mem- ber of Congress, at this day, cannot live respecta- bly and properly at Washington upon three thou- sand dollars a year. The corruptions which, of late years, have expanded to such alarming pro- portions at Washington, may be largely attri- buted to adeficiency of pay to the members of the two houses. Besides their regular expenses of sub- sistence, they are subjected to many contingent outlays which they cannot escape. Hence, they are reduced to extra expedients to make both ends meet. Some practice law in the Supreme Court, some enter into speculating combinations in rail- road, patent, pension or other profitable bills, and some go to downright gambling, as the nu- merous saloons on Pennsylvania avenue, devoted to this profession, nightly attest. In fact, a man going to Congress, to pay his way counts upon drawing largely from his private income, or upon some chance resources in addition to his pay and mileage. ‘This ought not to be. The country is rich—the treasury is overflowing—and yet poor men, with talents that would really be useful in Congress, cannot afford to go there, because they can- not lose the time. Their talents are better paid for at home than by the government, and so the government loses their services. This will, toa great extent, account for the deterioration in the calitwe of our Congressmen, with the pro- gressive increase in the expenses of living at Washington. Poor chape, with neither talents for business, nor education, nor any prospect for making or doing anything better, are becoming quite a feature in our modern nominations for Congress; er if a man of means or of superior capacities or promise is selected, it is with the understanding that his estates, hie bankers, or his wits are to supply all deficiencies. Five thousand dollars year, as the pay of a member of Congress, is not, at the present day at Washington, a dollar too much, if we look at it in either a moral, political or economical light. We believe that such a salary would improve the quality of the article, diminish the corruptions which are sapping the very foundations of our re- publican syetem, and save money to the treasury. We suggest to Mr. Butler to try the experiment of five thousand, and to press it as a measure of reform and retrenchment, until even the small fry demagogues of the West are convinced that they may support it without fear of their constituents. Try it at fiye thousand, Mr, Butler, French Prospects. Our latest advices from Paris announce the alarming fact that the specie in the Bank of France had, by the last return, fallen off nine millions of dollars. This unprecedented de- crease, in so short a space of time, can be due to but two causes, One of these is the inundations, which no doubt have been the means of throw- ing more specie than usual into the suffering districts. Property destroyed in the shape of houses, cattle, produce, furniture, merchandise, &c., has been, doubtless, partially replaced in coin by the benevolence of private individuals or the munificence of the government. But this will only account for a small portion of the loss. A couple of millions at most will cover all the money that can have been sent to the inundated districts. The balance, a sum of seven millions, must have been withdrawn from bank by persons who have begun to discredit the stability of the empire—by men who have seen, in the failure of Place, a symptom of the proximate fall of the Credit Mobilier, and who, like M. Thiers, do not believe that the Emperor can safely encounter a peace without more genius than there is any rea- son to suppose he possesses, For some weeks letters from Paris have con- stantly alluded to the formation of political and revolutionary societies. The French journals, for obvious reasons, say nothing on the subject; what our correspondents tell us they learn from the gossip and the whispers of Parisian so- ciety. They say that the new societies have ramifications in every department and every city; that the operatives are quite prepared and ready to strike; that the ar- my, which the Emperor has spent so much money and labor in endeavoring to secure, is already on the point of open sympathy with the people. Even allowing for the exaggeration which natu- rally affects contraband news, these stories reveal a most alarming state of things in France. They render it not impossible but that we may hear of a new revolution by any mail. Whether such an event is probable or not, is a question which must be examined on different grounds. Evidently there never was a timewhen the Emperor was less likely to be willing to re- linquish any portion of his authority, or more certain to be careful and anxious about its pre- servation. Nor is there, after all, any reason to suppose that he lacks the ability necessary to grapple with a difficult situation. He is neither a fool, like Charles X., nor a penny wise poli- tician like Louis Philippe. He has qualitie? which neither of these two ever displayed; he has already achieved a work which was far beyond the powers of either. Whatever be said of his heart, there can be no doubt that bis head and his hand are strong. Taking this into consideration, it seems more likely, perhaps, that he will, for a time at least, fend off the revolution, than that he will succumb to it. He can only do the former by diverting public attention from domestic affairs by some bold, dazzling, unexpected stroke of foreign policy. A short while since it looked rather as though the Emperor meditated turning his at- tention to America, and picking a quarrel with us by way of keeping his soldiers at work. A little reflection seems to have disposed of this plan, and now there is no opportunity offering for the display of French energy and “gloire” save in Italy. But ‘Louis Napoleon can, by a ju- dicious intervention in Italy, not only divert at- tention from politics at home, but really strength- en his own position in Europe, render a substan- tial service to the cause of European liberty, and earn the credit thereof. The plan, of course, would be to adopt the suggestions of Count Ca- vour, and interpose to ameliorate, by a system of gentle coercion, the administration of govern- ment and justice in the kingdom of the Two S cilies, Rome and the Legations. Any measure of this kind would naturally involve some risk of a collision with Austria. But the "en would be risked under remarkably favorable circumn- stances, In the first place, Austria would find herself without her natural allies: Russia has not forgiven her the mission of Prince Esterhazy, and Prussia is stil so jealous of her influence in the Dict that she would gladly see her humbled. Whereas, on the other hand, France would be certain of the active sympathy of England, and of the secret—and possibly the explosive—sym- pathy of the Hungarians, the people of Vienna, and the whole united people of Italy. There can be little doubt how a collision would terminate, should any oceur. And if the French Emperor contrived, as he easily could, to make the affair last for a year or two, on the brink of war; if he ended by bestowing upon Italy a good govern- ment, whether under the name of a Murat, or in any other shape, he would be certain to escape the danger for the present, and might possibly derive from it increased weight and character for the future. Fra mar O1v Doverr, at His Tricks Acain.SBince the rump of the old Albany re- gency, headed by Azariah Flagg, has been in power in this city, its annual taxes have gone up from the sum of three millions to more than seven millions of dollars. During this increase of taxation, which has become, even as an in- come tax, more oppressive than that of England, and, indeed, is much greater, Mr. Flagg and his supporters have made great pretensions on the score of economy. In order to sustain these, every now and then some petty bill against the city is refused payment, suite are submitted to, though increasing thelr amount, and every vexa- tious delay possible is interposed to prevent re- covery. At the same time contracts of the most doubtful character, premature in their objects, not called for by the public interests, and of enor- mous amounts, are given away without winking to partisans and favorites. Hundreds of thou- sands of dollars are in this manner constantly squandered without a word of remonstrance, and the little chanticleer at the barn door of the trea- sury does not utter one crow of defiance, nor even flutter his wings, at the approach of the fa- vored marauders. Within the last few weeks efforts have been made to prosecute the great work of the Central Park, and to make it, for health, beauty, the convenience and enjoyment of our citizens, and as an object of attraction to the visiters o thie great metropolis, the greatest and most beneficial of modern improvements. After oa long struggle this beautifal idea was about assuming a practical fom, and the city of New York was promising itself the first fruits of its liberality, in a spacious drive and promenade, amidst healthful and domestic scenc- ry, during the present season. To hasten this result, the Corporation, under a general and hitherto undisputed power, appropriated two bundred thousand dollars—an amount moderate enough considering the amount of work to be performed and the shortness of the time in which it wasto be accomplished. At thig yery moment up starts Mr. Flagg and his friends with strong opposition to the apPopriation. It is probably, in their opinion, not going in the right direction. It is not a fund which is to be under their supervision. It is to be placed inthe hands of a board of gentlemen who are independent in their views and pure in their intentions; and now the little chanticleer, with an official crow, stops a proceeding which he does not favor. ‘The Cor- poration Attorney at his bidding steps forth with a long bill, and pecks at the Corporation ordi- nance. The whole of this movement is perfectly intelligible; but it is too late in the day to hum- bug the public by a pretended regard for economy, in the face of a tax of seven millions, grown out of three during the administration of the vigilant Mr. Flagg. Such a gross incon- sistency will pass for what it is worth, and no more. The impudence of these old Regency birds is only equalled by that of their old, bro- ken down chief, who in 1848 came out in favor of the niggers, and now abandons them to their fate. A statement of the sums wrongfully given away to favorites, in the shape of indemnities, contracts, repairs and fees, under the very eye of’ the Comp- troller, would astonish the public. Against these there are few remonstrances; but when for a pub- lic purpose, where all are to be benefitted alike, a necessary appropriation is made, then the indig- nant keeper of the public funds puckers his mouth, draws up the purse strings, and disputes the bill. ° Fryate or Mr. Brooxs.—It is to be presumed that the letter we published yesterday, from Mr. Brooks to his constituents, will wind up that gen- tleman’s contributions to the political literature of his country. It has fallen to our lot to publish epistles in similar style and equally good taste before; but they usually emanated from persons who were greater adepts with the boxing glove than the pen, and whose honor, unlike Mr. Brooks’, could not be assuaged with less than forty-five rounds, standing. We have also been reminded by Mr. Brooks of our old and worthy friend and contributer, Isaiah Rynders, President of the Em- pire Club, and proprietor of the big gun, likewise of the other properties of the democratic party ia this State; but Rynders, with all his faults, is still the superior of Brooks in point of breeding and style. When he strikes, as he has been heard to say, he does not bark beforehand: whereas, if the Burlingame affair have any mo- ral, Mr. Brooks’ chief excellence and availability lie in his bark. He appears to do the Bobadil parts for South Carolina; and though his render- ing of the familiar role is sufficiently consistent with stage tradition, still there is a finish, a tone, a classic style, wanting, which we venture to say Captain Rynders would not have missed. How- ever, he no doubt does his best; no man ‘can be justly held answerable for the defects of his early education, or habits acquired in youth. THE LATEST NEWS.
