By the arrival of the steamship Persia at our port we have seven days later intelligence from Burope. Her news is not of much importance. The question of the Sound dues is reported to be ina fair train of settlement, Great Britain and Pressia having consented to the capitalization of the toll. Mr. Marcy’s reply to the protocel of the Paris Con- ference on privateering had been well received by the English press. We publish articles from several of the Jeading London journals on the subject, and in our editorial columns will be found some remarks in reference to it. Louis Napoleon and his Empress had left Paris for Biarritz. His Majesty, it is said, bas it in contemplation to confer some imperial title on the American Bovapartes. In Spain mat- ters continue quiet for the present, but the popula- tion, as is usual after insurrectionary movements, aresuffering from want. It was reported that the King of Naples was aout to abdicate in favor of his son, the Duke of Calabria. The Persia spoke the Arabia inside of Cape Clear on the 24th, at half-past three o’clock in the afternoon. She would, without doubt, reach Liverpool oa the fol- lowing day. The Arabia, it will be recollected, ran on the Blonde Rock, and sailed for Halitax while leaking at the rate of twenty tons an hour. Her safe arrival will quiet the apprehensions of many. ‘The European news by the Persia produced no effect u;on our cotton market yesterday.

The newsimparted greater Dbnoyancy to breadstuifs, and flour advanced from 5c. @ 10c. per bbl., with moderate sales.

Corn was decidedly better, with forced sales at 65c. @ 66c., and 67c. for sound Western mixed. Sugars were irregular, especially for the lower or refining grades.

From the repor! of the Commissioners of Health given elsewhere, it will be seen that several cases of suppoted yellow fever in the city were reported to them. An investigation proved that only one of them was a case of real yellow fever, and that of a person who caught the disease from an iafected ves eel. The Board should furaish the press with the particulars for publication, as it is due to the people in the neighborhood of the ii ted to know their danger, #0 a ‘to provide against the spread of the disease. A suppression of the truth ouly is danger ous. The Commissic Emigration A letter was received from Dr. Harris, announcing the action he had taken to help the Fort Hamiltoo sick. He also communicated the thanks of the Fort Hamilton Relief Society, through their President, Paul A. Oliver,to the Commissioners. Daring the past week 1,457 emigrants have arrived at this port, making 89.572 so far this year. The io debtedness of the commission has been decreased $21,769 05. The Board of Supervisors met last eveniag, received several bills for indexing and extending assessment rolls of various wards, which were or- dered to be andited, and the County Treasurer was directed to pay the same. The Board then, on mo- tion, adjourned to meet on Monday next, at 4 o'clock. The semi-annnal report of the Comptroller of the terd: ners of and city was presented tothe Board or Aldermen last evening. The importance of the docament, which may be found elsewhere in our columns, will en gure it a careful perusal.

A democratic defeat in the Green Mountains is what everybody expected; and yet the result of this Vermont election seems to us to furnish the key te the Presidential result in November. Taking it in connection with the late election in Iowa, and consulting the figures in a business way, it really looks as if Fremont were good for every Northern State in the Union. In 1852 the vote in Vermont, of Scott ang Hale combined, amounted to a majority of 17,000 over Pierce, the aggregate vote for Scott and Hale being 30,008 in round numbers, New, it appears that the Fremont party have carried Vermont by over 20,000 majority, and it may be over 25,000. Take the smaller number of 20,000, however, and it shows a gain to the majerity of the anti-Pierce edministration forces of 3,000, or aclear gain of over ten percent. The Iowa election, in the extreme West, gives ue a still larger ratio of increased strength against the Pierce democracy, than this Vermont election in the extreme East. From these two extremes, then, we have the actual data of regular elections held since the popular nomination of Fremont, establishing a clear gain to the great anti-Pierce adminictration party of the North of ten per cent upon the po- pular vote of 1852—a clear gain,-to say nothing of the terrible lesses by the democracy since the election of Pierce. This gain applied te every doubtful State of the North, carries it over into the list for Fremont by a handsome majority. Since the demoralization of the democratic party by Mr. Pierce, the figures of the election of 1852 afford no sort of basis for an estimate of the present state of things in New York, Penzsylva- nia and Ohio. No dispassionate individual, how- ever, can entertain a doubt of Fremont’s success in New York and Ohio, and the only shadow of doubt resting over Pennsylvania is the destina- tion of the Fillmore Know Nothings. We sus- pect, though, that the pressure of Mr. Pierce's civil war in Kansas will show us in the Pennsyl- vania October election that that old common- wealth is lost to Mr. Buchanan beyond the hope of recovery. We shall see. The frightened de- mocracy are ready for almost any bargain for the Know Nothing vote; but we fear they have gone too far on different sides of the road to agree now to ride-and-tie with Mr. Forney upon any terms. We shall see. We are rather sanguine of Pennsylvania, from present appearances. On Monday next the State election comes off in Maine. There the old line fogy whigs, headed by Mr. George Evans, (chairman of Mr. Fill- more’s board on Mexican claims, which awarded half a million of dollars to that poor fellow Gardner, for certain estimated damages on ac- count of the Mexican war, to his silver mine in the moon,) are attempting a diversion benefit of Mr. Buchanan. in the way of a old line guerilla movem but we guess it will not amount to much. We are entirely prepared to vee Maine going the Fremont ticket as deci- sively as Iowa or Vermont. Our observations of many Pre elections show that the first ymptoms of public opinion expressed in any preliminary election resting upon the Presiden- tial test, foreshadow, with almost mathematical accuracy, the general rush of the tide on the great day of November. It is from these observations that we feel authorized to say, from the late Southern elec- tions, that in all probability every Southern State will go for Buchanan; and that, from, these re- cent Northern elections, every Northern State will go for Fremont. The issue is, shall Kansas be made a free State or a slave State? And the battle is between the North and the South, and between Fremont and Buchanan. The Kansas policy of Mr. Pierce, the policy of the Cincin- nati Convention, the platform of Mr. Buchanan. and the position of the Southern leaders of the democracy, make the election of Buchanan taa- tamount to the admission of Kansas as a slave State—not peaceably, if they can, but forcibly, as they are now attempting to do their work. Hence this tremendous Northera revolutionary movement for Fremont; hence these wholesale accessions of old line and soft shell democrats, newspaper organs and all, t the Fremont grand army—henee the general co-operation of all the Protestant churches of the North in behalf of Fremont: and hence the extraordinary spectacle of the conversion of pulpits to the cause of poli- tical sermons against the border ruffian demo- there being “no Sabbaths in revolutionary times.” Very well.

Mr. Prence Usprr a Cross-exaMixation © Kansas Arrairs.—We published yesterday the report of the deputation of the National Kansas Committee, of the result of their late visit to the White House in behalf of the suff Kansas, ng people of This report presents our imbecile and truckling President in a most humiliating He endeavors to make himmel! a pe law and order, does it most gracic evide it all the the emotions.

Emigrants ha stitutional right to gointo the Te on very smoothly. not much trouble in Smith is there ant do ¢ ything. any way courts compte arms ; but if they are disarmed by the | power the constitution must give way--the President can't interfere. Poor Mr. Pierce got along thus far as well ae could be expected; but when asked if he did not think that the germ of all these border troubles might not be found in that bogus Legis- Jature, and those bogus laws of Kansas, he had nothing tocay. Likg a criminal pinned to the exact issue, be declined to answer that ques- tion. But he gave the committee distinctly te understand that there would be no change in the administration of the affairs of Kansas—none. This is frank, at all events; and we suppose that the poor man has gone too far to recede, like Macbeth, when fully committed to the border ruffian policy of blood and murder. Thus our sorry and miserable President (whose policy isthe policy of the democracy and their candidate) flatly avows his resolution to keep up the civil war he has inaugurated in Kansas until the free State settlers shall have been expelled from the Territory or exterminated, and until African slavery is established upon the ruins of squatter sovereignty. He can’t deny the infa- mous, lawless and bloody character of those Kan- sas laws; but he declares that he will enforce them still; and all this is done for the benefit of Mr. Buchanan in the South. The issue is fairly made up. The only hope of a peaceable solution of this Kansas imbroglio is Fremont and a new administration. The Baropean News—The Sound Dues—The Privatecering Question, The news received by the Persia will be read with interest. Its leading feature is the an- nouncement that the question of the Sound dues has received a partial solution by the acceptance by the British and Prussian governments of the Danish capitalization project, or, in other words, the redemption of the tolls by the different mari- time nations interested in the Baltic trade. The only obstacle that now remains to the final settie- ment of the dispute is the stand taken by our government against the principle of this compro- mise, it being held that if we become parties to it, we shall be abandoning what we have always contended for—the entire freedom of the seas. This is, no doubt, to a certain extent, true; but if we take into consideration the circum- stances under which this arrangement is sought to be effected, we may be excused for conceding to the weakness of Denmark some small portion of the rights which we would be prepared to maintain inexorably against a Power of equal magnitude to our own. The abandonment of a principle is rarely at- tended with happy results; but it becomes a question for consideration whether the present is not one of those cases in which we can afford to depart from the rules which guide our national policy. There is no doubt that it is from some such feeling that the European governments have consented to the proposed arrangement; for, abstractedly, they would have been perfectly justified in putting an end to this prescriptive wrong without granting any compensation what- ever. It is for ours to reflect whether the strict line of its duty forbids it to enter into an ar- rangement founded on such purely sentimen- tal motives, or whether it considers the cireum- stances under which its concurrence is asked as sufficient to guard against its being established as a future precedent. The course taken by our Cabinet in twice prolonging the duration of the treaty at the request of the Danish government, would seem to indicate that there is a disposition to deal with the question in as lenient and gene- rous 2 disposition as possible, and it is to be hoped that some arrangement will be arrived at which will prove mutually satisfactory. The manuer in which Mr. Marcy’s reply to the protocol of the Paris Congress on privateering has been received by the London press, is ano- ther evidence of the great change that has been wrought in English feeling towards this country. Thus, whilst, as might be expected, the London Post—Lord Palmerston’s organ—assails this docu- ment with bitterness, the Z'imes and the Morning Chronicle award it the merit of great ability, and recommend its suggestions to the serious atten- tion of the British people. The latter two jour- nals recognise the fact which the former ignores, that the arguments put forward by Mr. Marcy in support of his views are as applicable to England as to the United States, and that her interests are as much concerned in their adoption as ours. The growth of the English navy, like our own, does not keep pace with that of her mercantile marine, and were privatecring to be abolished without such a condition as that which Mr. Mar- cy recommends, a large portion of her commerce would be left unprotected. The same may be said of other maritime nations; and therefore our government is not fairly chargeable with the abandonment of geweral principles, and a purely selfish regard for its own interests, in refusing to abolish a common means of defence without ac- companying its extinction by this condition of general safety. The truth is that the European cabinets, con- fined as they are to the narrow views of their traditional policy, and jealous of the growing power and influence of this country, have, in dealing with this question, regarded it rather as a weapon to be made use of against a powerful rival, than as a means of advancing the common interests of mankind. It was reserved for an American statesman to point out the more gene- ral and philanthropic application that might be made of the propositions contained in the proto- col. The English people. whose attention is now fastened upon the political movements of this country, and whose growing affinities of thought and sentiment are leading them to adopt most of the views that prevail on this side of the water, did not fail to recognize at once all the impor tance and grandeur of Mr. Marcy's idea, They saw that it contained the germ of a new system of comity, which. if it did not render war impos sible, would divest it of the greater part of ite severity. The English government. as usual, far in the rear of public opinion, suffers one of ite organs to aseail the proposition of the American Secretary with an injudicious violence, ‘h only serves to place its merits in bolder relief. In this, as in the Crampton affair and the Central American question, it fails not only to appreciate ite own interests, but it seeks to fore- stall public sentiment on one of the most interest- ing topics of the day. Nothing can more satis- factorily prove the moral influence which the United States is beginning to exercise over the public mind of Europe than the marked concur- renee of views and principles which has been mani- fested with us by the English people on all those questions, in spite of the opposition and hostility of their government. Whilst we cannot but feel flattered at such a fact, as proving the soundness of our political theories, we look upon its advan- tages to ourselves as but small compared with those which must result from it to the cause of ireedom generally.

Seme of our weak kneed cotemporaries publish the cor- respondence without one word of comment, not knowing exactly what has come over them. Only one journal undertakes to question the propriety of the movement, and its objection is put chietly on the ground that Mr. Wood has not accom- plished much since he has been in office, although he declares that he has found it utterly impossible, in view of the bydra headed system of departments on which the city go- vernment rests, to do any more than he has achieved. Be this as it may, the bold and decided step taken by the committee of citizens, headed by Mesers. Brown, Astor and Taylor, in placing their nomination for Mayor before the people, previons to any nomination by the party organi- zations, is a step in the right direction, and one which bids fair to inaugurate a sweeping revolu- tion in the manner of conducting our municipal aflairs. We have been for too many years under the entire control of a set of vagabonds, ruffians, rowdies, bullies, ballot box stuffers, shoulder hit- ters—-such men as Bill Pool, Yankee Sullivan, and their associates. Numbers of these vaga- bonds have been lately expelled from California by the self-constituted Vigilance Committee, which, in its inception, was actuated by the same motives that have induced the present committee of one hundred to take the nomination of Mayor into their own hands, before the skulking vaga- bonds who control the political factions of the day have had time to set their wires at work. We hope that this first step, which has been taken at the right time, before the scoundrels who pack primary elections and cram nominating conventions, have woven their meshes—we hope that this movement will be followed up, and that this same committee of intelligent and patriotic citizens will also nominate, in the several wards and districts, every Alderman and Councilman, taking care to select none but men of honor, honesty and integrity. If the committee wfil only undertake this—and we are sure that their nominations would be worthy the support of every honest voter—we are confident that almost every man so nominated can be elected. Ia this way we could deal a sure blow at the vagabonds and scoundrels who hang about the primary as- semblies and manage all the party meetings. They would be utterly routed and entirely dis- comfited, and the result would be a trae reform, which would be fraught with the most beneficial results tothe people of this great metropolis. Why cannot this be done? Why cannot these gentlemen assemble and select from each ward the best and wisest men as candidates for Aldermen, Counoilmen, and other municipal offices ? For years the system of nominations adopted by all parties—democrats, whigs, republicans and Americans—has been denounced by us, The re- sults of such nominations are before us in the corruption which runs riot in every branch of the government; in the terrible increase of taxation; in the laxity of the administration of criminal justice; in the utter neglect of public duty, and in the wholesale plunder of the wealthy and in- telligent people of the Empire City. Let the coming municipal election be entirely separated from national affairs. Let every man vote for whoever he chooses for President, but let that matter be entirely distinct from our local affairs. Let us make some radical change in the manner of managing our city affairs, Let us have a new charter and good men to execute it. Now is the time for action, before the party tacticians have set their rascally schemes afoot.

The indications in relation to the coming fall meeting, (which it will be seen by refer: ence to the Secretary's announcement in our advertising columna, is to commence on the 23d of this month,) are of the most favorable character; and we hazard but little in promising to our distant friends a series of brilliant con- tests, Three fine “sweepstakes have been filled, which bring together all our best Northern horses, while the accessions from the South for the purses offered make ‘‘agsurance doubly sure,’’ that the contests will be vory interesting The opening day brings out the strength of our neigh- Vore—Westchester county being represented by fo § favorites, On the same day, Oue Eyed Joe, who, it will be remembered, was a good second in a four mile beat ron in 7:36; Ellen Bateman, the winner of the best throe mile race ever rum in the North; and Rosabel, a repeated winner in the West and a great favorite, come together at four mile heats. The purse races then follow for two days, and the meeting closes with the Jockey Club stakes, $2,300, four mile heats, for which Philo, the winner of the grent stakes at Baltimore Inst fall; Logan, well known here, and as “fast as a streak;’’ One Eyed Joe, and Ellen Bateman are nominated, This race will, of course, be the feature of the meeting, and will doubtiess draw crowds to witness it, The bill, however, for the whole meeting is unusually varied, and on throe of the days we are to have two races.
