Disastrous fires had occurred in Maysville, Placerville and Nevado City. We re- fer our readers to the mews im another part of our paper. By the arrival of the Canada’s mails yesterday afterncon, we are placed in possession of the fall complement of her news.

The authority of the Queen would appear to be estab- lished everywhere bat in Saragossa, and there it ‘was believed the resistance would soon be crashed, ae the troops of General Falcon were fast deserting him. It ie stated that Queen Isabella had made the return of her mother to Madrid a point with O’Don- nei}, and Christina was making preparations to re- epter Spain. The position of O'Donnell was considered to be critical in the extreme, as it was evident that he bed only been temporarily made use of to serve the views of the reactionary party.

In the United States Senate yesterday a message fern conatwod from the Procidentj+-Tattes t= he poe toco) of the Peace Congress on privateering. The bill regulating the pay of members of Congress was passed by a vote of 35 to 11. (This bill gives them a salary of $2,500, beside their mileage, as at pre- sent). Mr. Jones, of Jowa, offered a resolution that, im the matter of Lieut. Bartlet!, complaining of the action of the Naval Board, nothing appears in the ings before the Senate impeaching his (Lieut. B.'s) “ promptness and efficiency as an offi- cer of the navy, or to impugn his character as a gentleman.” Dir. Jones asked Mr. Bell, of Temnes- see, chairman of the committee, if the state- ments made jn an editorial in the New Yous Henao, in reference to Liewt. B. could be substan- tiated by this report. Mr. Bell promised to reply, but, before doing so, the Senate adjoarned. In the House of Representatives the proceedings were in- teresting. The bill extending the patent of Adams’ printing preas was passed. The Civil Appropriation hill from the Senate was taken up. In the course of the debate which ensued, Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, stated that he was satisfied no person under arrest in Kansas for treason would be prosecuted or pun ished. This statersent created some excitement in the House, as Mr. C. spoke confidently. The vote on agreeing to the Senate amendments will be taken to-day. ‘The Commissiovers of Health passed resolutions yesterday declaring the erection of the barricade ‘around the hospital ga‘e at Quarantine, under di rection of the Stapleton [Moard of Health, as con trary to the prevent Quarantine act. The civil offi cers and citizens committing this offence they autho: rize the District Attorney to prosecute without de- fay. In the conflict between the Stapleton pow- ers and the authorities on this side, it is not unlike ly considerable excitement may arise. It will have the good effect to detract public attention from the exaggerated reports and alarm as to the existence and extent of the yellow fever at Quarantine. Dr. Thompson, meawhile, reported twelve cases as being the whole number of cases of the fever yesterday under treatment at the Quarantine Hospital. Last evening a oumber 0! captains of vessels and sailors from this city went down to Staten Island and demolished the barricade that had been erec’ ed by the citizens of Castleton at the Quarantine gate, to prevent communication with their section of the Island. The work occupied about five minutes when three cheers were given, and the party re turned quietly to the city. At the meeting of the Commissioners of En! gration, held yesterday, an interesting communi- cation was received from the resident physician at the Quarantine. He states that the fever is on the decrease, and all cause for alarm is over. During the past week 7,207 emigrants have arrived, making 82,038 so far this year. The indebtedness or the commission has been reduced to $90.20 21. In the Board of Sapervisors yesterday a resoly tion was adopted directing the County Treasurer to pay the bill of MeSpedden & Baker, for rebinding, &e., done for the county, The Board bad previonsly ordered the Comptroller to pay the bill, but Mr Plage bad refused to obey the order.

That famous court known as the Marine Court of this city, having been tinkered up by repeated statutes into some distant resemblance of other courts, is beginning to undertake a revision of our commercial law, and the long settled custom of merchants, Before the revolution is entirely ef- fected it is well enough for consignees to know what kind of liens the Marine Court will permit them to hold, otherwise we would not give six- pence for all the goods, bills of lading, or letters of advice that are received in New York, so far as they have been considered security for advances by consignees. The case which has led to this new decision was this: The plaintiff, Norde- meyer, shipped at Hamburg, through her agent, Hirschman, a trunk to New York, and also ob- tained from him her passage to that place. Hirschman, however, uot sending the trunk in the same ship with plaintiff, forwarded it with many others through ene Ibergh, and he con- signed the whole to the defendant, Loescher, in this city, with advices and bills of lading, in neither of theee disclosing the owner’s name. He directed their delivery to one Sutbear, who was to arrive out in due season. The consignee, Loescher, on the arrival of the trunks so con- signed to him, entered them at the Custom House, paid the duties and stored them to await the ar- rival of Sutbear. When Suthear and Nordemeyer reached this country; they called on Loescher, and there Nor- demeyer claimed her trunk, but refused to reim- barse him for freight and daties which had acerued upon it, which he had paid, and which the bill of lading required him to pay. The trunk was therefore de- tained for payment of charges, a suit brought hy Nordemeyer in the Marine Court, in trover, to recover the value of the trunk, and Justice May- nard decided that defendant had no lien, and gave judgment for the plaintiff for $164, or thereabouts. On an appeal from this decision to what i* called the general term of the Marine Court—where three Justices of the Peace dis- pense their united wisdom—the decision below was sustained, Justice McCarthy dissenting. After this decision, no merchant receiving goods from abroad is safe in advaneing one penny upon them; nor is a bill of lading the least security for advances: A rogue in France or England has now a good opportunity to make money out of our American shipowners. His agent at Liverpool or Havre is directed to con- sign his is to a New York house, und to have them held for delivery to Mr. Snooks, after pay- ment of duties, charges, &e. Mr. Snooks does not turn up, or, if he does, declines taking them. The rogue owner abroad refuses to pay the charges, brings an action of trover for his goods in the Marine or some other renowned court, and recovers the whole value without deduction. The duties are paid by others, and he gets the property free and clear of all charges. This would be a pretty operation on a cargo of French brandies; and this is what Judge Maynard would pronounce to be the law. We will not insult our commercial readers by quoting authorities against such law and such decisions. The Chamber of Commerce, however, had better turn their attention to the case, and see that it undergoes revision in some higher ourt. New Crry Hatt.--We understand that a re- port bas been adopted, or will be, by the Common Council, in favor of a plan for the new City Hall, which, besides being a perfect architectural abor- tion, and a reflection on the taste of the city, is to cost six millions of dollars! The parties chiefly interested are believed to be concerned in a Vermont quarry, and the marble is to come hun- dreds of miles, when Westchester, close by, has a much better and a more plentiful material. Fifty thousand dollars bonus are talked of as likely to fall into the pockets of the lobby if the scheme can be carried through. We really hope there is virtue enough and taste enough in the Board of Aldermen and tn the Mayor to knock the scheme in the head. Six millions of dollars to be added to the city debt is no joke, particularly as more elegant and convenient structures can be erf&ted for one-quarter of the money. We have done our duty. If the citizens choose to be fleeced any further than they have been, let them shut their eyes and go to sleep. They deserve to be trampled on, and they will be. CoLonrs. Frewont’s Movements.—We under- stand that some of Colonel Fremont's friends are anxious that he should take a trip to Bedford Springs in order to see the Senators who have voted for an inquiry into bis accounts, and also to call upon his rival Mr. Buchanan. Some other friends of the Colonel think he had best write a long letter to the papers. giving a full account of his birth. marriage. and religion, and explaining the whole affair about his christening and Sunday practice Now if General Scott were the candidate in- stead of Colonel Fremont, there would be some reason to apprehend that this advice would be listened to. But we trust that Colonel Fremont, Who bas hitherto displayed so much prudence ond tact in his conduct since the nomination, will avoid all errors arising from vanity or other cog- nate causes. and will thus avoid the rocks on which #0 many other Presidential candidates have been wrecked Forties Or ioxs oF FREMONT.— The German French and Englith journals are out in favor of Fremont, whom they cx t the greatest man that has been proposed for the Presidency of late years. They consider his letter of acceptance a document worthy of any statesman. There was a time when national prejudice ran so high that expressions of favorable opinion abroad would have damaged a candidate here; but that day hae passed. Civilization is now commopolite : ite interests are the same in Europe and hore. We may cegard the favorable opinions of the Ba ropeon preset with regard to Colonel Fremont as wression of civilized and highly enlight. ened communities under somewhat different cir. cumstances from onr own, but whose interest in i Mats ba the world—and consequently in ‘bat of the United Statee—is onl to our : 0 ours, at Pepa 19 ours, There is always a wheel within a wheel in ihe policy of the “little villain.” If he nominates Wadsworth, and gives up the rich prige for him- self, it is because he wants to be United States Senator in the room of Mr. Fish, whose term is : bout to expire. He counts, it seems, on the aid f Thurlow Weed and the influence of the Cen- ra} Railroad to enable bim to manage the Con- vention, and with his little tricks to oust philo- sopher Greeley from every position of honor and trust. We have a great mind to dip into this family uarrel, and to ascertain whether we cannot make both parties pay off their old scores. From our position towards Gol Fremont, we are now within arms’ length of%@ good many of our friends among the nigger worshippers; be- fore the game is played out, they may rely upon it they will have to pay their debts to us, with every cent of the interest that has been running for the last twenty years, Thurlow Weed espe- cially may look out. Srreert Cieanina.~At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday evening, a suggestion came up that the occupants of lots and buildings chould be required to sweep the streets in front of their premises. The plan is well worthy of serious. consideration. In most of the European cities the municipal au- thorities take care only of the pwhi'c places, the inhabitants being required to Beep the streets swept before their own doors, This wes formerly the practice in Albany, if it is nmt <o still. We see no good reason why we shoyld not try the experiment here. Anything Wenld be better than our present system, rather, no system. We should at least fave bundreds of thousands of dollars pér aanum, and obtain a Jarge reduction in onr taxes. At present the expenditure is evidentiy not used up in brooms or cartage, and every stratagem is re- sorted to, to throw dust in the of the public when they make ay inquiries or gtter any com- plaints, There can be no inj 1d but little, inconvenience in requiring the s to sweep up the street dirt in front of houses. They clean the sidewalks now, and a a few more square feet of surface will not occa- sion much outlay of labor. There is a good reason why they should do as mych as this. If they create the filth, let them scrape it up. Those who are cleanly will have but little to do. Those who occasion the dirt should be contpelled to,get it ready for removal. The immediate effects would be @ general and regular cleaning of the streets—a constant employment of laborers out of other work—a competition between the oecu- pants of blocks and strects to see who were most vigilant and carefal, and ap reduction In ome oity expenditern low Carte would not have to drag after the lazy fellows who now get up one pile of dirt per hour, for it would be always ready to be carried away. We see no other remedy than this to get rid of Mr. Ebling. His neglect, bis incapacity and his prevarications are the town’s talk; and if he can set legislation and public opinion any longer at defiance, it is time the citizens looked out for themeelves, Let us try Alderman Fulmer’s suggestion, Srverian Coxsexction ov PLaNxetary Bopres. It is curreutly reported in certain political circles that the Roman Catholic Archbishop Hughes, and the Most Reverend Protestant Archbishop Beecher are actually at this moment standing on the same political platform, and are both in favor of Col. Fremont as a candidate for the Presiden- ey, and of freedom in Kansas and elsewhere, But the resemblance between the two archbish- ops ends here; their tactics are widely different, The Puritan Archbishop is vulgar and insolent, and looke and talks as though he walked arm in arm with the Almighty. The Catholle Arch bisbop bas more the character of his prototype, the Cardinal Richelieu; is polite, accomplished, insinuating, slippery, and capable of attaining his ends without any recourse to ultra measures. It will be a singular consummation of the political elements of the day if all the leading authorities of the Catholic and Protestant churches conspire for the elevation of Fremont to the Presidency as an earnest of the great political revolution that is beginning. The corrupt democracy deserve some euch signal overthrow. city P. ‘Tre Rervnuicas Coxteat Comurng.—A meeting of the Republica Central Committee, Edgar Ketcbum, Bxq., ip the chair, was held last evening, at Academy flail, No. 063 Broadway.

It is rumored this evening that the new steamer Mer- ‘imac is to be ordered to France, to carry out Secretary Dobbin, who is to succeed Mason as Minister to France, and that Senator Mallory, or Mr. Pocock, of the House wil! succeed Mr. Dobbin as Secretary of the Navy. 1 also learn that Mr, Mason has asked to be revalled. ‘There has been trouble at the White House in regard } 1@ the removal of the Kansas. Judges, and it has been re onsidered at the instance of Senator Toombs and other Southern men. The President this evening was deter mined they should be removed. ‘The President communicated to the Senate to-day the correspondence touching the Paris conference and the rights of neutrals. Mr. Marcy’s despatch—the only paper of insterest—hag been given to your readers, ‘The correspendence about the rejection of the commer. cial agent by Honduras, already made public, was also sent in. ‘The President recommends that an early purchase be made of @ site for the New York Post Utfice, Party favorites are here watching this movement. ‘The Light Houze bill as passed by the House was re ported to the Senate with a few trifling amendments. Senator Toombs reported adversely on the petition of Governor Robinson and others, of Kansas, to change the venue of their trials for treason. ‘The bill giving members of Congress an annual salary of twenty-five hundred dollars in addition to the mileage pow allowed by law, passed the Senate, by a vote of three to one, and it is belived will pass the House, as it gives the present Congress the salary for next year, when by the present law, they would receive less than eight hundred dollars. The Senate was in ezeeutive seesion for one hour, and confirmed the new treat, th the two Sicilies, and a treaty with Austria allude t to by me some weeks since. ‘The treaty with the Sandwich Islands was discussed with much warmth, and postponed without definite action. The House, by a large majority, extended Adams’ pa- tent for tbe power printing printing press, the Southern members supporting it as a just measure, Two of the Sepate’s amendments to the House Naval Appropriation bill were non-concurred in by the House, and the bill sent back to the Senate. The Senate refused to recede, and asked for a Com. mittee of Conference, which was appointed. The civil appropriation bil, as amended by the Senate was taken up by the House, and the amendments ‘le bated at length in the committee of the whole. The Com. mittee of Ways and Means were divided on the proposition to strike out the Semate’s amendment making provision for Kaneas and Mr. Campbell. The Chairmain gave the casting vote in the affirmative. The House struck out all appropriations for Kansag, as they had done previously, and whieh were added by the Semate. The Senate wil! again insist on their amendment. A Commitiee of Con ference will be appointed, which, I donbt hot, will re- commend that the House recede (rom their amendment, striking out the Senate’s amcndment. On agreeing to the report of this Committee of Conference there will be a stormy debate, in which the nerve of geatle- men will be teeted. If the Houee insist on dropping all appropriations for Kansas, the whole bill will be lost. Consequences must take care of themselves. As the great commercial interests of the country which must be seriously embarrassed. The Senate struck out the notorious book appropriation of one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. The House to day ‘not only reinstated it, but struek down all checks agtinst fraud, The bill as amended to day will be passed to. morrow and sent again to the Senate ‘The despatch last evening concerning the Kansas juiges was alla mistake, Governor Geary, who is now here, assures me that he has made no request to bave any one removed, but would oppese it, The correction I make, a8 alike due to Governor Geary, and my readers. There is notruth in the report that Judges Lecompte and Cato have been officially requested to resign, nor bave they been removed.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT A meseage was received from the President, in answer to the resolution calling for informati~n relative to the protoce! of the Peace Congress on privateering The Senate discussed an! passed, by a vote of 05 against 11, the bill regulating the compensation of members of Congress. . Mr. Jonze, (eom.) of lowa, offered a resolution that, in tho proceedings before the Senate in the matter of Wasn- ington A, Bartlett, late a Lieutenant of the United States pavy, complaining of the action had under the act of Congress, entitled “ An acto promote the efficiency of the pavy,’’ approved February 24, 1466, nothing appears which tm; es his promptness and efficiency as an officer of the navy or impugns his character as a gentieman.

He therefore desired to call upon the Senator-of Tennessee, (Bell) who made that report, to say whether any such inference could legitimately be drawn therefrem.

EXTENSION OF PATENT. The Howse parsed the bill extendiag the pateat of Adams’ printing press, by a majority of 40 votes. CIVIL APPROVRIATION HILL The Senate's amendment to the legislative, Executive ‘and Jodicial appropriation bill was then taken ap. The question stated was on agreeing to the Senate's amendment to strike out the proviso ‘that no money be expended until (he persons under indictment in Kansas thall be discharged and the prosecutions dismissed,” ke. Mr. Pewxinetow (nigger worshipper), of N. J., moved an smendment to the Senate's amendment, making « similar provision that nothing therein shoud be so cou etrocd as to prevent the indictment, arrest. nition, ishment or detention, in or by any court of the Uni ‘tates in Kansas, of any person who shall have vio any provision of any act of Congress in the com m) mn of any offence avainst person or property. He (Pennington) would never vote a dollar to sustain these indictments for treason or uphold the bowus Legis lature. Mr. Levener, (dem.) of Va., said the courte only could determine whether those individuals were guiity or imuocest He thought the House were —_ employed in seeking to nullify judicial proceedings by legal enact ment. He should like to know whether Mr. Pennington and bis friends were afraid of the courts. Mr. Pessixevox—i am afraid of the courts of Kansas. Does the gentleman from Virginia Letcher) believe eny parties guilty of treason in the ory? is Levcmer replied in the afirmative, saying they bat eclemnly #worn to subvert the government. Mr. Camverit, (nigger worshipper) of (bio, was satis fed that 0° person now in prison, or under arrest, in Konens, for treason, would be prosecuted or punished. Mr. Kimkst, (tigger worshipper) of Pa., wished to knew bew Mr. Campbell became the recipient of infor mation denied to other gentlemen, Mr. Vennington s amendment was agreed to by ayes, peffectual efforta were made to further amend During the proceedings Mr. Grow spoke of the events im Kevsae, in connection with ite courts, as disgracefal to humanity, aud insisted that the limitation of the ap p ietion could be made withont revolution ir. Davie, (EK. N.) of Me., said if Jadge Lecompte was ly reported, there was not a shalow of reason for of treason. The House hal not reached a revolutionary remedy was justifiable, it 1n the extreme to withhold the appropriation courts when the machinery by which the government cartier on its business is not arrested Mr. Kest ihe bad a right to know whence Sr Campbell derived bis information that there would be no prosecutions in Kansas. Mr. Cawrneti replied it was well known he had no sympathy with capes ut administration, nor with (he party that broug! wrongs on the country by the repen! of the Miseourt compromise. He repeated he knew and believed that those mem arrested in Kanes on th» charge of treason for violation of the laws, of what he termed the Legislature, would not be prosesuted peoiebment.

Mr. Ginpixcs, (nigger worsbipper,) of Ohio, congratu- lated tke country on the auspicious fact that the repre- septative voice had ut Jast been beard at the other end of the avepue, He thanked God he had been permitted to see this day. Mr. Campi. wished to epeak, but Mr. Giddings re- fused to yield the floor. Much cotusion prevailed throughout the proceedings, during which Mr. Camvieit said, in reply to a remark on Mr. Giddings, that it the conflict must be met, he and his collesgne must meet on equal terms, here or elsewhere. Mr. Gipuines (smiling)— Please don’t talk about mee - ing me elsewhere. (Lavgbter.) ir. Cawvpert (earnestly)—I mean in debate—in de bate. Mr. Croc, (lem.) of N.

Mr. Sxarn (dem.) of Va, did not belive the President would either undertake to prejadice the action of the competent authorities of Kansas, or step in officially to ipfiuence the action of the House with reference to the dutics confided to them. Mr. Cumnack, (nigger worshipper) of Ind., thought the President had taken @ long time to tind out that the per- tons imprisoned in Kansas were not Canad of treason. Mr. “ewaxp, (dem.) of Ga., had always doubted whe- ther treason bad been committed or not—but this was a question which belonged to the courts. i the proviso is to be engrafted on the appropriation bills, letthem go. If the President truckles to it, be itso. He would notswal- low that which be did notapprove, The committee then disagreed to the Senate amendment ftriking out another proviso, namely, that withholding appropriations for prosecuting or detaining persoas charg: ed_with treason and other political otfences. The committee rose and the House adjourned, with the understanding that the question on concurring in the amendments should be taken to-morrow. Adjourned, —_—_—_—_— Maine Pelltics.
