The manner in which this result was ac- complished is detailed in our telegraphic despatches, to which the reader is referred, as also to our re- marks on the subject in the editorial columns. We have interesting news from Nicaragua, re- eeived yesterday by the steamer Cahawba, from San Juan del Norte, the details of which are given else- where. General Walker had decreed the blockade ef all the parte of Central America, and an armed schooner had been cruising about on the Pacific eoast enforcing the order. It was this vessel that by the Rivas party at Leon by the murder of Dr. Livingston, the American Consul at that place. @ar Minister interceded to save the life of the Doctor, but his efforts were unsucceesfal. Mr. Rich- mond, the Under Secretary of State, had addressed @ letter to our Minister with reference to the Accessory Transit Company and the relations existing between Nicaragua and the United States, im which be justifies the course pursued by his government towards the company. The Cubans in the Nicaraguan service celebrated the anniversary of the battle of Las Posas by a banquet, in which General Walker took part. The sentiments, and particularly the remarks of the General on the oo- casion, are certainly calculated to awaken serious spprehensions in minds of the Cuban anthori- ties. The health & country was excellent, and the Transit route of all obstructions. Trade was quite @ive, and altogether the condition of affairs generally very encouraging. Reliable accounts from Costa Rica state that re- ports about the contemplated invasion of Nicaragua are purely imaginary. The cholera and dysentery were making fearful ravages in some of the dir. tricts. From South America we have news dated at Mon- tevideo, 5th; Rio de Janeiro, 15th; Bahia, 19th; and Pernambuco, 21st of July, with late commercial re- ports. Trade was pretty active in all the markets. @offee, cotton and hides were held firmly, and the demand was brisk. The Indian war on the southern frontier of Buenos Ayres threatened to end disas- trously for the native settlers. The Italian colony at Babia Blanca was a total failure, and many of the emigrants had joined the Indians. ‘The steamship Philadelphia, from New Orleans 224 and Havana 25th inst., arrived at this port last night. She brings no political or commercial news ‘ef importance. The health of Havana was reported as rapidly improving. The P. landed eighteen pas- sengers and $50,000 in specie at Havana, and bri ics eighty-five passengers and $6,000 in specie to this port. The Empire City arrived at Havana on the 25th, and left at 2 P. M. for New Orleans. Despatches from Kansas represent that the Mic. wouri border raffians and the free State forces, under the leadership of Atchison and Lane, respectively, are mustering in large numbers, preparatory to a formidable demonstration, and it is not unlikely that before many days we shall receive intelligence of a bloody pitched battle having been fought. The de- putation from the Kansas National Committee had an interview with the President yesterday, the re- sult of which is briefly related by our Washington correspondent. ‘The report of the City Inspector exhibits a far- ther improvement in the public health, as com- pared with the record of the mortality of the week ‘Wook onding Avg. 23...

The case of yellow fever mentioned above was that of a bookkeeper of a firm, whose vessel, arrived from Havana, he had visited at Quarantine. The following table gives the classification of diseases, and the total number of deaths caused by each disease, during the two weeks ending— Generative organ: 4 Heart and blood vessels 7 Langs, throat, &e q Old age tesee Skin, &e ‘pt a Sullborn and premature births + ae sla and other digestive organs 204 245 general fevers . 6 49 tees _- 2 . 3 1 ‘The nativity table gives 459 natives of the United States, 65 of Ireland, 24 of Germany, 6 of England, 1 of British America, 7 unknown, and the balance of varions European countries.

Corn was firmer, with sales of sound Western mixed at 6lc.a 630. Rye was firm, with sales of old and new Northern mixed at 90c.

Grain con timued to be pretty freely shipped for Liverpool, and about 80,000 bushels were engaged in bulk and bags at 8jc., which was an advance. ‘Wonderful News from Washington—Par- sage of the Army Bill witheut the Proviso Adjournment of the Extra Session. By reference to our Congressional reports, our readers will perceive, first, that the republican majority of the House collapsed yesterday, and that the Army bill was passed without any re- strictions upon the President in reference to the employment of the army in Kansas; secondly, that this great job of fourteen millions of army appropriations having thus been accomplished, the extra session was closed and dispersed. We are not surprised at this result at all. The combination of Buchanan and Fillmore men in the House was getting too strong for the Fre- mont party, and the defeat of the proviso was from the beginning but a matter of time—ano- ther day or two would have bronght in sufficient democratic and Know Nothing absentees to crush out the whole strength of the republicans. They have yielded to necessity, being in a minority as against Fillmore and Buchanan men, and the President is left to use the army in Kansas at his discretion. Leading democratic Senators have admitted that the Missouri-Kansas laws are in- famous and atrocious, and have moved their repeal; but they have been overruled by the party, and the Kansas laws and the border ruffians remain untouched. We appre- hend that every dispassionate mind will consider this criminal neglect of the affairs of Kansas a lasting disgrace to this Congress and a pitiful concession to an imbecile and double dealing President, who has proved his total want of cour- age and capacity for the suppression of a border war. We are sorry to hear that the Fremont men were frightened by the tactics of Jeff. Davis in dismis- sing the workmen from the different armories on the plea of a want of funds, That dodge would have soon run itself out; for the main issue of Kansas as a free State or Kansas as a slave State, will overshadow all sorts of second hand tricks and devices to distract the public mind. The Army bill is passed. Very well. Mr. Pierce's mind will now be easy concerning the frontier Indian tribes, on whose account this ex- tra session was called together. The bill is pass- ed without that proviso, so that our amiable Pre- sident has still an unlimited discretion over the army money and the army itself, in behalf of the border ruffians. Perhaps his promises to Mr. Campbell, of the Honse, and the gentle hints thrown out for his guidance by the Senate, may he followed by a comparatively impartial en- orcement of the doctrine of squatter sovereign- ty—but we shall soon see. Both sides are marshalling their forces in Kansas or on the border for war upon a large scale. We shall soon see whether the one party is to be disarmed, dispersed and driven from Kansas again, while the other is to be protected and permitted to run loose and lawless over the Territory, murdering and plundering under cover of the United States troops. In this connection, we think it would be well for some public mass meeting to appoint a large committee of men of all parties to wait upon the President, for the purpose of a definite understand- ing of what he now means to do in Kansas; and we also think that it would be advisable for the Fremont party to send out to Kansas a commit- tee ofmen of character and high standing, to overlook the administration of affairs there for the next two months, and to report to the next session of Congress the results of their observa- tions. With some such precautions as these an armistice, at least, nay be secured in Kansas be- tween the belligerents; but without some such precautions, we fear that the passage of the Army bill will only serve to kindle the combustibles collecting in Kansas into a consuming fire. Tue Serentiric Association.—We publish this morning, another portion of our report of the proceedings of the Scientific Association; and vs commend it to the attention of all who care tur science. It is to us some satisfaction to know that the very scientific authorities who, ten days since, wanted to establish a little censorship of the press at Albany, and to subject our corres- pondent’s reports and letters to the supervision of 4 committee, are now so pressing in their requests for a file of the Henxanp that some of our own files have been shortened to oblige them. Next year, it is to be hoped that they will resign them- selves to the cruel fate of being made famous by the press with somewhat better grace. It is no doubt a very hard thing for gentlemen who deal 4 extensively in tough words from the Grovk and other dead languages, to see their paragraphs misinterpreted by the haste of a reporter, or mutilated by the errors of a printer: but what then? We are in the nineteenth century, gen- tlemen. and these blunders which give you so much pain are unperceived by every one but yourselves, Nothing, in truth, but the intense vanity which you share with all other leading men prompts you to suppose for a moment that they will ever be detected. The mass of mankind, most erndiate members of the A. A. for the A. of S., will glance at your papers hastily and once. If, a& the first reading, they do not seize the idea which you have de- sired to present to them, they will pass it over, and not return upon it, concluding modestly that the fault is in them, not in you; but they will infer thet you who write such papers, and who are eo much of a man as to monopolize three columns of the Heranp, must be really a glory to the country. That, gentle- men, is fame, reduced to its simplest expression. Wise men, purposing to read papers at the next meeting of the Association, will look to this. There is a member of the body who read more papers—and those perhaps as important as any—at this last meeting He had abstracts drawn of all his papers beforehand, and a copy presented to every leading newspaper. The con- requence is that the public at large are perfectly familiar with the character and importance of his labors, and that he enjoys now the fall measure of honor and admiration which he deserves. Whereas, such other member we could mention, no less exminent, who merely spoke from memory, NEW YORK BRRALD, SUNDAY, AUGUST 31 1856. anc on subjects which defied the skill of the re pcrter, from that very cause lives unknown out of his particular circle, and when he dies will be regretted but by few. He has neither public appreciation to strengthen him, nor just fame to reward his labors—the whole for the want of a little knowledge of the world. Fimanctal Conditien of the South American Republics—The Foreign Debts in England. About the time of the acknowledgment of the independence of the Spanish States of South Ame- rica by the English ministry, in spite of the remon- strances of the King of Spain, confidence in their future stability, and the temptation of new and profitable markets for its industry, gave an im- mediate and powerful impulse to the spirit of speculation in England. The conduct of the government in appointing Chargés to those States, was considered a guarantee for successful dventure, and large investments in goods for «exportation, machinery for mining purposes, and cequisitions of lands for emigrants, were rapidly made. Capitalists rushed forward to take ad- vantage of this fresh field of enterprise, and en- couraged applications for loans from the new Lorrowers, Of the many negotiated for Buro- pean States between 1817 and 1823, none had proved doubtful but that of the Spanish Cortes in 1821, while the fall of interest at home had been £o great that new opportunities of invest- ment were eagerly sought after, and they were considered perfectly safe. In 1824 and 1825 about nine millions of pounds sterling were sub- scribed in loans to Brazil, Guatemala, Gaudela- jara, Mexico, and Peru; but in a short time atter- wards, such was the change in monetary affairs and such the reaction in the stock market that almost an entire loss of the sums paid in was eus- tained by the holders of scrip, and a general panic endengered the existence of even the Bank of England, and the joint stock bavks crumbled all around. In 1834, owing to the recurrence of great com- mercial prosperity in England, South American bonds again attracted the attention of specula- tors; they rose suddenly in value, and other loans of a similar character found their way into the London market. Still, with very few exceptions, they were unable to keep up to their first quota- tions; the borrowers were neglectful of their obli- gations, and they became a source of anxiety, trouble and loss to those unlucky enongh to hold them at any price. The Mexican debt is one of this character. After it was compromised and re-adjusted by the decree of the 14th of October, 1850, it became the right of the bondholders to appoint their own agents in Mexico, to receive those portions of the revenue, “ consigned spe- cially” to their use, directly from the officers of customs at the different ports. Under this agree- ment five half yearly dividends were realized and remitted. Six, however, down to, and including the interest due July 1, 1856, remain unpaid; and in the meantime, the Mexican government has suspended the functions of these English col- lecting agents, collected the revenues through its own officials, and has kept the bondholders out of their money. In the case of the Venezuela loan, pretty nearly the same thing has happened, and similar delinquency has occurred. Under these circumstances it has become a question as to the proper remedy to be taken by the British creditors to enforce the performance of the contracts of these defaulting govern- ments, and the subject is under grave discussion. Dr. Phillimore, a celebrated civil jurist, has given an opinion, sustained by the expositions of Vattel, that a defaulting State may be compelled to fulfil its engagements to the subjects of another State; and Lord Palmerston, in his circular of 1848 to the British representatives in foreign countries, has expressed the opinion that such de- linquencies should be laid before the home gov- ernment, and ite intervention in behalf of the bondholders should be requested. We are not aware that any intervention has taken place under any other form than that of diplomacy, except in the instance of the late difficulties between Spain and Mexico. One would have supposed that Spain would have been the last country in the world to resort to such an expedient. For long years struggling with financial embarrassments, paying up old loans at a discount, with new loans yet unpaid, ehe has discovered an audacity quite surprising in turning sound upon a second class debtor, though at the same time setting a precedent which may not be lost upon her British credi- tors. The fleet sent by her to Vera Cruz to coerce Mexico into a settlement of her claims returned al- most as soon as it went, and it is understood she has waived the payment of two millions out of the five millions demanded, confessing by this act that the transaction, as asserted by the Mexican government, was so far a downright swindle. The financla) operations of Santa Anna being, to this extent discredited, the real debt of the country to Spain is reassumed and provided for. And there is at hand a simple and advanta- geous method for the payment of this debt. The sale of the enormous property of the church—in amount far beyond its wants, and forced by eccle- siastical power and influence from a suffering population—furnishes a ready supply for the oo- casion, and not only for this debt to Spain, but for whatever else she may owe foreign creditors. General Comonfort unquestionably understands the advantage of his present policy in this re- spect, and we trust he will faithfully adhere to it. It will be the resurrection of the credit and influence of his unhappy country, and will place its financial affairs in an enviable position. With regard to the question raised by the Vene- zuelan bondholders, and decided by Dr. Philli- more,on the ruling of Vattel and the intimations of Lord Palmerston, as we find them in the English papers, we doubt very much their correctness, or their sincerity. When individual capitalists lend money to a foreign State, they receive back ite obligations in their individual capacity, and their rights are only those of individuals. They are bound to look out for those whom they trust, and to ascertain their responsibility, as much in such transactions as in any other. The profit is their own, the risk is their own, and their govern- mente have no more right to interfere for their collection than in the case of an ordinary ship- ment of goods to a defaulting purchaser, Nothing less than an absolute treaty between Mexico and Great Britain, assuming by the former the payment of its debts to ifs individual credi- tors in the latter, would afford any ground for forcible intervention to obtain payment. The doctrine of Dr. Phillimore must therefore stand merely for what, from his logal position, it is really worth. It will be some time before it will be recognized as any authority in international Jaw, and the dicta of Vattel, who is pronounced by Chancellor Kent “as deficient in philosophi- cal precision,” must be received with many grains of allowance.

Country air and country fare are good and plea- sant things after a surfeit of metropolitan culi- nary sophistries and city dissipations. But to get this country air and country fare do not go to a fashionable resort ; rather seek some quiet farm house on the banks of our own Hudson, or among the Alleganies, or on the Jersey shore, or in the mountains of New England, and there rest from your labors for atime. Pursue in moderation those manly sports which give vigor to the muscles, light to the eye, color to the cheek. Drink clear water from the spring, and give up French cookery for the plain and substantial dishes of the husbandman. Let us assure you that thousands of sensible people do this every summer, and that they return to the bustle and toil of city life with the physical man entirely renovated, and the mental faculties newly nerved for the battle of life. ‘Tre Fawive at tue Care px Veabs.—ARRIVAL OF THe AMERICAN ScrriiEs.—Letters have been received in town from A. J. Martens, Bsq., United States Vice Consul at St. ‘Vincent, Cape de Verds, announcing the arrival of the first shipment of provisions sent out from New York for the reilef of the starving population of the isiands, Of the value of this timely aid our readers may form some idea, from the fact that the Governor General had found it necessary to proceed in person to the neighboring coast of Africa to obtain supplies of food. The first of the New York vessels which reached the islands was the N. Hand, whose owners, Messrs. Riess & Co., gencroasly placed it at the disposal of the com niitee of subscribers. ‘Two others followed close on her track, and no doubt ar- rived shortly after. lummediately on the receipt of the firet cargo of provisions, Mr. Martens took steps to have it properly distributed. With this view he directed a cir- cular to the different Administradores de Consedllo, re questing them to receive and supply the provisions to all who were really in need of them, and recommending that they should call in the aid of the Vicars of the dite rent parishes to essist them in making a discriminating Gistribution. The quantity of provisions remaining at the time of this opportune arrival was so small that it be- came necessary to distribute them in rations quite inade quate to sustain life for any lengthened period. 11 must be gratifying to the benevalent individuals who contri- buted to the New York fund, to know that the aid which they s0 promptly furnished has been the means of say Ing large numbers of human beings from perishing.
