We have news from San Jose (Costa Rica) to the tb inst. The war against Gen. Walker was to be prosecuted with the utmost vigor, and the Bishop ef San Jose had offered all his private property to the government for that purpose. A guard had been stationed on the frontier to watch the Nicara- gua forces. Many deserters from Walker's army were daily coming im, A military force of nearly eight bendred men had been reviewed, and found in good order.

Our Havana correspondent, wiiting on the 24th, says:—‘The waval preparations for operations against Mexico are on a magnificent scale, and all our maritime warriors are sharpening their weapons for a figh:. The arsenals are iu full blast, and abundance o: eupplies wil! accompany the Spenish steam armada to Vera Croz.” The health of Havana was good, but business was not very active.

A report of the Albany Vr gilance Committee (colored) states that between ths 42th of September, 1855, and the 15th of July, 3856, a period of ten months, two hundred and eighty-ceven fugitive slaves passed through the city ei Albany en route for Canada. The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday. From the report of their agents it appears that an active demand for servant girls exists throughout the country, as all the spare emigrants find employ- ment easily.

Teneorarnic Freamrtes—Ieopent OrvEeR— ‘The newspaper press of the country have made arrangements to obtain by telegraph the resultof the Presidential election on the night of the 4ch proximo. With one exception, we believe, the Presidents of all the telegraphic lines in the coun- try have kindly proffered every assistance in their power. The exception is William M. Swain, Pre- sident of the New York and New Orleans line, who, to satisfy some personal grievance we sup- pore, has iseued an impudeot order to the ope- rators on that line, meanly misrepreseuting the wishes and purposes of the press. When the pub- lic consider that Swain has risen to his preseut position solely by his connection with newspa- pers, his conduct will be looked upon not only as impudent, but paltry, mean and contemptible.

In Pennsylvania there is the impracti- cable third ticket, pure and simple, of Fillmore and Donelson in the way, and should it carry off five thousand, two thousand, or one thousand votes from the opposition union ticket, it may decide the campaign. In New Jersey, the Fre- mont and Fillmore conventions, assembled for the purpose of a compromise upon a union ticket, have adjourned without accomplishing anything ; and New Jersey, therefore, as far as Fremont or Fillmore is concerned, may be considered as abandoned to the common enemy. In addition to Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the late Indiana election indicates pretty strongly that that State also will cast her electoral vote for Buchanan, and we need go no further in the North to secure his election by the people, considering the la meutable weakness of Mr. Fillmore in the South. The suicidal division of the opposition forces in this contest into two discordant and closhing parties was a step which promised nothing but universal defeat until the nomination of Fre- mont. After his nomination, the astonishing popularity of this new candidate and his plat- form very soon promised to override all opposi- tion, and to carry everything before them, con sidering the demoralized, corrupted and de- bauched condition of the spoils democracy, But the late Pennsylvania and Indiana elections have shown us that this part of the spoils demo- eracy, when driven to desperation, is still strong, and that faithless allies and treache- rous friends are still open to the appliances of bribery and corruption. Independently, how- ever, of all these drawbacks to the republican Fremont movement in these late elections, there have been yet some other considerations ope- rating in favor of the democracy, which cannot be overlooked. We have no doubt that a vast majority of the people of the Union, including nine-tenths of the people of the Northern States, upou the simple and unmixed issue of this Kansas question, would pronounce against the bor- der rnffian policy adopted and pursued to this hour by the Pierce administration and the democratic party to make Kansas a slave State. No sensible man can believe for a moment that any considerable number ot the conservative and independent American people, North or South, can in their hearts do anything but condemn the hor- rid atroe in Kansas committed by and with the advice and consent of the administration, under which the plains of tha Territory for a twelve month past have been the scene of battles, fire, devastation, robbery, rapine, murder, and all the crimes ent to a war of extermination, by government officers, regular troops and ruffian mercenaries, against a body of free State settlers, weak in numbers and in means, but stubborn in defence of their constitutional rights. Again, the mind of every independent and honest American met revolt against that policy of the Ostend manifesto which would convert our President into the chief of a gang of pirates against the rich slands of our weaker neighbors. Yet, asenred as we are of these facts, and that our people are a law abiding, magnanimous and honest people, North and South; aad assured as we are, too, that the universal sentiment of the Nort is against the extension of slavery into free Territory, especially by force of arms, there bas still been a higher consideration operating upon the public mind, of higher moment thaa the suppression of border ruftianism in Kansas, or the piratical Ostend manifesto, or the despotic policy of extending the area of Southern slavery and Southern political power by force of arms. This er consideration, notwithstanding all others, volved in this very question of “ disanion !” “ disunion !"—the bue and cry df Governor Wise, Chevalier Brooks, Mr. Toombs, Mr. Fill- more, Mr. Keitt, Mr. Slidel! and company, upon which, with their secession furore, they have suc ceeded in neutralizing to a great extent in the North the popular indignation against Pierce and his bordcr ruffianism, against Brooks and his i ate, against the Ostend f the tyrannical and lawless policy of making Mansas a slave State by fire and word. With the masecs of the Ame ple, notwithstanding these other is threats of Cisunion have suggested th value of the Union: and many am Northern men, really alarmed by the fie ter of Southern fire-eaters, have consent pease them for the sake of the Uni to chance upon the smaller questions of Kaasas and our foreign policy. Onrs is the first example of a great and suc- cessful republic covering half a continent and the different climates and productions of Maine, Virginia and Louisiana—it is the first example of a great popular confederation under the sam general government, with a system of free white labor in one half the States, and a system of Afri- can slave labor in the other half—each half form- ing itself a solid section of the Union, thus dis- tinetly marked by the existence or non-existence of this peculiar African institution. To form euch a Union as ours, of sach apparently elements, required a compact concessions aud compromises, aud a steady adbesion to these can alone maintain the Union. Fully aware of this, the American people, ambitious of the glorious future before them within the Union, and of the certain disasters which await them with the dis ruption of the Union, are particularly sensitive upon this great iseue; and if they are at times led astray by designing demagogues and despe- rate spoilemen, we have «till in their patriotism a reliable guaranty of the safety of the Union. We have no doubt that this Union sentiment, under this Southern hne and ory of “abolition,” ‘secession, “dieu £ “Southern confedera- cy,” and what not, has been brought to bear on the North, in favor of Buchanan. But it does not follow that with his election—if he shoul@be elected—the Kansas ruftian policy will stand ap- proved by the people, nor the Ostend manifesto. He will probably find that to save his admiuistration from quick destruction he will have to cut adrift from those secession and disunion demagogues that have ruled the roast and the party in the business of thie campaign. He will probably, also, discover that the game of intimidation and eubjngation is played out, and that the very peo- ple that have been frightened into his support will have discovered the trick. We are speaking this in anticipation of Mr. Buchanan's election. But he is not yet elected. The narrow margin of two or three thousand votes, out of an aggregate of nearly four hundred and fifty thousand cast in the Pennsylvania Oo- tol-r election, is not an absolute assuraace of discordant of mutual | party attact success in November. Possibly with a rebound of the people to the real practical living issues of the contest in Pennsylvania and Indiana, Mr. Buchanan may still be defeated. The probabili- ties are in his favor; but the result may be against him. We await the result. John McKeon on the Mayoralty. The United States District has been giving afew more votes to Wood, by making a speech ostensibly in favor of Libby This charming oratorical effort, which combines the solid Demosthenic periods of Webster with the playful wit and stinging sarcasm of Clay, is published in the Libby orga, and will prebably make an immense sensation among the Custom House democracy. We purpose to devote a few minutes this morn- ing to an examination of the Honorable John’s points. After a rather theatrical opening, some- thing in the style of a ten dollar mele-drama, Mr. McKeon reiterates the old charge of fraud against the Mayor in relation to his California speculations in connection with a partaer of the vame of Marvine. The facts of the case are, hat Wood and Marvine disagreed about certain pecuniary matters; that after some time and money spent in the courts, both parties, like sen- sible men, left the settlement of the disputed ac- counts to referees, and that these referees decided that Mr. Wood owed Mi. Marvine seven thousand dollars, which is the end of the matter. We need not tell our readers that very few copartnership accounts are settled without a dispute, and that very frequently both parties charge each other with fraud. It is the easiest thing in the world to charge a man with fraud, but not quite so easy to prove it. In none of the documents quoted by Mr. McKeon is there adduced the slightest morsel oi proof that the Mayor was guilty of criminality. Mr. McKeon further desires to know why Mayor Wood does not deny the charges made against him by a miserable hanger-on of some of the Sunday papers. This isa copy of the Express tactics in relation to Colonel Fremont. Suppose a drunken loafer should call Mr. McKeon a thie! and amurderer. Would Mr. McKeon think it ne- cessary to deny the accusation over his own hand? Mr. M’Keon proceeds to deny the regularity ot Mr. Wood’s nomination, when the fact is patent that the nomination was as regular as any that ever came from Tammany, and that it is sup- ported by all democrats, save a few disappointed oyster house politicians, who did not find Wood so ready atool as they expected. It is very late in the day for Mr. John McKeon to come out and talk about frauds at Tammany. Who and whot is Mr. John McKeon? He was a briefless ‘awyer, aud by the regular gradations became a smnail potato politician. He has fed af the pub- lie crib for years, and has been one of the bitter- ea, grecdiest and most unscrupulous of parti- zane. He has had but one rule for his political life, that is—not which was the best party for the public good, but which party would put the most money in the purse of John MeKeon. He has been opposed to every party that did not nominate bim to some office, and to every candi- date from whom he could net reap some mate- rial advantage to John McKeon. He was op- posed to Pierce until Pierce gave him e fat of- fice, since which he has become one of the Pre- sident’s most abject toadies and most slavish of lickspittles. He is nothing but a party tool, and has bad nothing that he did not get by party machinery. Mr. McKeon charges Mayor Wood with using doubtful powers, when the real cause of com- plaint among the people is that the chief magis- trate of the city has not power enough. He abuses the Mayor for endeavoring to get two bundred thousand dollars with which to improve our Central Park, and make a place within the limits of the metropolis where the weary artisan might breathe the fresh a’ cf heaven and “look through rature upto natures God.” And this attempt to beautify our city is, according to the Honorable John, a crime. Is he so stupid as not to know that the people are one and all in favor of the immediate improvement of the Park, and that they would be perfectly willing to place a million in the hands of the commission to ad- vance so good a work? Another one of the Mayor's awful crimes, according to the Honora- bie John, is that he caused the old Alm» bouse to be taken down, thus giving em- ployment to a large number of workingmen who must otherwise have starved, or been ted by charity. That's a terrible crimo, isn’t it, Jobn? Another crime, that the Mayor attempte1 to remove certain street nuisances, but was not eucecseful—the strict letter of the law not justify- ing bis course. “That's wormwood,” says the Honorable John, when, in fact, it reflects credit upon the Mayor. He certainly tried to do some- thing, which cannot be said of his pred But the Honorable John had now only fired his small shot. He comes immediately afterward to his long guns, and discharges a breadside. which he fancies will demolish the Mayor for- ever. Some time ago the United States Consuls at several ports on the continent of Europe wrote to the Mayor, informing him that numbers of cri minals had been taken from the houses of corree tion and shipped to New York. The Mayor toox prompt measures, and sent back the cargoes of crime and pauperism indicated by the Consuls For this act he receives the applause of the entire community, with the exception of the Honorable John McKeon. We do not presume that the Hon. Jobn intends to claim kindred with any of these criminals; but be goes on in a frightful way about bis father’s blood, and bis blood being in- sulted, so that it would engender a suspicion in a mind not fully informed as to the purity of the Honorable John’s lineage. People have a great fancy lately for talking of their blood. John A King talks about bis revolutionary blood, and now—facilis decenens Averni—we have John Me- Keon talking about “my name’ and “my blood.’ Pray, is his name any better than anybody else's name, or his blood any purer than that of any of his democratic friends? These fellows ought to remember the apothegm of Sir Thomas Browne— when one boasts of bis ancestors he is like a po- tato: the best part of him is under the ground, Mayor Wood's crimes, 80 far, according to John McKeon, are that be desired to improve the Cen- tral Park, and to diminish our taxes by sending tmek foreign criminal paupers. That's a terrible record , but in the further examination of this most absurd, bombastic and {illogical harangue,we find the greatest crime of all in this sentence:— fo far at we can judge of the man’s acw, he has no That is an awful thing in the eyes of the Honorablé Jobn, but it is a good platform to go to the people upon after two years in the City Hall. It shows precisely the animus of all the emall oyster honse democrate, John MeKeon in- cluded. They wanted something from the Mayor, and not getting it, they turn about and oppose him with all the rancor of disappointed place hunters. After Mr, McKeon had got Pretty well along in hie speech, he began to strike wild and to for- get what he hed said before. He charges the Mayor with taking the Police Department “out of the hands of the Chief.” He forgets that the Legislature has placed the entire control of the department in the hands of the Mayor, the Re- corder and the City Judge; and that by this commission the Chief may be tried, suspended or removed precisely like a private in the force. And further, McKeon dashes about, abusing the Mayor for what he has done, and for what he has not done, and for what he ought to have done, according to McKeon, and did not do. There is a little bit of clap-trap for the Irish and Germans, who the sapient John thinks will desert Wood, so that the Know Nothing eandidate may be elected. The Honorable John closes with a tremendous literary reminiscence, in which he compares Wood to Marino Faliero, some time Doge of Venice. McKeon desires that Wood should not have his portrait in the Governor’s room, but in its place an inscription: “Decapi- tated asa politician,” which is an effort of wit worthy of Punch or Burton. Mr. McKeon says that he has “ stood in Venice on the Bridge of -ighs”” The next time that he does so we ad- vise him to jump off. Asa parting word to the oyster house demo- cracy, we advise them to stop McKeon’s mouth till after election. Their show at the polls will be small enough under the most favorable cir- cumstances, but with another speech from McKeon they would be extinguished beyond the possibility of revival. Good morning, John. Tue Frvancrau Crisis ry Evrore.—There is no reason for believing that the difficulties of the Bank of France have been in any degree miti- gated since we had last occasion to refer to them. There are rumors that silver is increasing in the vaults of the bank and its branches. There is a rumor that the Rothschilds have agreed, for a consideration, to furnish the bank with $30,000 - 000 of gold, to be procured of course mainly from America. But we find no better foundation for these stories than on dits in the newspapers or on the Bourse. Meanwhile the bank statement is viewed by the public as such a document can only be viewed—namely, as the most disastrous financial exhibit published in France since the crisis of 1847. A loss of sixty-nine millions of franes in one single month, and that accompanied, in- credable to state, by—not a curtailment, but— an increase of issues, is enough to induce any man of ordinary prudence to withdraw his funds from the bank to a place of greater safety. The Bank of. France is rapidly passing the point at which those who control her can choose between suspension and contraction. So long as some decent proportion was preserved between her circulating paper and the gold in her vaults, the Emperor might bope to avert the crisis by racrificing the speculators. He might save the country at the cost of the Credit Mobilier. But, unless we are much mistaken, the time for such an election is now past. Contraction will not save the bank if the depositors and note hold- ers lose confidence and make arun upon her vaults for specie. We know that she could not pay one quarter of her debts in gold and silver. Should this occur, therefore, an absolute failure of the bank would be the necessary consequence; and it is not unlikely that the Emperor might be driven to anticipate this catastrophe by authoriz- ing a precautionary suspension. It is conjectured, however, that the rumored substitution of M_ Magne for M. d’Argout as Governor of the Bank indicates @ desire on the part of the Emperor to resist the pressure a little longer, and to hazard the bank’s existence in order to save his credit. Inquiry is made what becomes of this gold which is disappearing?--when will the gold return ‘rom the East? The answers to the queries are very simple. The gold passing out of the bank coffers in France and England is being hoarded up by the country people in France, and toa still larger extent in Germany. Rumors of ap- proaching revolutions are rife on the Rhine, and men who saw the severe times of 1848 know the value of the hard coin in revolutionary days. In parts of Germany the banks are hoarding. As to the gold which has gone to the East, we believe that the whole aggregate of this outlet of specie is but small. The armies in the Crimea spent far less there than is imagined : thanks to steam, they got almost everything from home; and even the few sovereigns and napoleons that were scat- tered through Turkey were sent back almost di- rectly for European manufactures, Those err greatly who ascribe the present Ea- ropean trouble to the outgo of specie caused by the war. Its causes are really very different. It arises first from the inordinate speculation and extravagant living in the continental capitals; and secondly, from the general mistrust whith prevails among the people, and the universal dead of revolution, leading men to hoard their money, and deny to the banks and each other the co operation necessary for a wholesome state of things. Tue Arram or Naries.—From the news by the A tlantic, it appears quite likely that any mail may bring us news of a general explosion at Naples. When the intention of the Enylish and French governments to send squadroas to Naples was made known in that city, the Direc- tor of the Police announced to the King that be would not answer for the public peace for an in- stant after the fleets hove in sight. So heartily do the Neapolitans hate their government that the very sight of a foreign fleet was enough, in the opinion of this functionary, to arouse them to rebellion. Under these circumstances the King has ordered that the moment the ships of the Allied squadron are seen in the bay, the city and adjoining country shall be placed in a state of siege. These measures are not calculated to strengthen the diversion made in favor of Naples by the Russian Cabinet. Whatever one’s sympathies may be, one can form but one] opinion about a throne eo unstable that the very sight of foreign ships would destroy it, and a people so inflam- matory that they require martial law to re- strain them whenever foreign vessels enter the harbor. The right of the British and French to interfere may be as questionable as the Russian diplomatist makes it out; but at any rate, the right of the King of Naples to rule as he is doing is stil] more doubtful; between the two wrongs one may prefer the one that is least offensive to humanity. ‘The revolution of 1848 began, as everybody remembers, in January,at Rome. We shall soon be in January again, and the Neapolitan soldiers will need to watch closely, as there will be a be- ginning of revolution again. Estates or Intestate Forrioxens—Rronts ov Forriax Consvrs.—Elsewhere we publish an opinion of Mr. Attorney General Cushing on the rights of intervention claimed by foreign consuls in the settlement of the estates of their intestate countrymen. As a good deal of misconception prevailed on this subject, it was time that it should be set at rest by some distinct declaration of the law from the proper quarter. It will be seen from this document that the es- tates of intestate foreigners are, like those of citizens, subject to the local jurisdiction of each State, and that foreign Consuls have no right of interference unless expressly given by treaty. The distribution of the property in case of intes- tacy, and its testamentary destination in case of testacy, are governed by the law of the de- cedent’s proper domicil, with some few excep- tions, where the competing claims of domestic and foreign creditors affect the property. Foreign Consuls have no jurisdiction in such cases, but they may intervene by way of advice or in the sense of surveillance, but not otherwise, as Consul, and of right. In the case of a foreigner leaving a minor heir in the United States, it is the duty of his Consul to see that a proper guardian be appointed to secure his interests in the succes- sion; and in the absence of adult heirs he is also bound, if the circumstances require it, to see to the cafe keeping of the will and its transmission to the parties entitled to the property. If there be no litigious matter involved, as in the case of a traveller, or other transient person, dying with personal effects in hand, his Consul is permitted to take possession of the property for transmis- sion to the decedent’s country. Such are the laws of the State of New York, and, with some slight difference of detail, such are the principles which regulate the laws of every other State of the Union. In fact, amongst all civilized na- tions there is an identity of legislation on this subject—the rule, unless where special treaty stipulations intervene, being* that the local authority has the power to take the inventory, if it will, the functions of the Consul being then limited to the right of assisting in behalf of the legal representatives of the deceased. THE LATEST NEWS. €Y MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPH, Additional from Nicaragua. Battimorg, Oct. 29, 1856. New Orleans papers of Thursday, of last week, are to hand. They contain the details of the late Nicaraguan news, but there is very little to add to the report already telegraphed over the wires. Capt. Williams, of Gen. Walker’s army, who came asa passenger in the Tennessee, gives detailed accounts of the battles fought at Massaya and Granada. His report agrees with that telegraphed. General Walker was preparing to march in pursuit of the enemy. The howitzers and Minnie rifles sent from New York, were recelved previous to the recent battles. Minister Wheeler was dangerously iil, baving been at- tacked with » fit of apoplexy. News from Washington.

Its assets are $190,000, and of this some $40,000 is considered good; the rest is doubtful, and consists chiefly of the paper of Western produce houses, guaranteed by a New York house that has failed. The private property of the stockholders is holden for the circulation. The Daily Times Newspaper, of Philadel- phia, for Sale. Pimtaperria, Oct. 20, 1656. Sherif! Megoe advertises the Daily Times in this city for sale. This has been considered a Fremont paper, and Fremont’s cpponents, not fully understanding the political intrigues now going on in l’ennsy!vania, throw up their bats in dalight, seeing im it an indication of the weakness of Fremont’s cause. If the Times is to be sold out, it is another result of the treachery om the part of Fillmore managers. This treachery is so extensive that vothing can eave Fremont in this State and New Jersey but the uprising of an indignant people between now and wpe 4th of November, and an emphatic rebuke at the polls. Fremont Mass Meeting and Torchlight Pro- cession In Boston, Boston, Oct, 29, 1856. The mechanics of Boston assembied in large numbers at Faneuil Hall Iast evening, the Hon. Joseph Story pro- tidirg. Mr. Burlingame entered the hall at 10 o'clock, aud spoke for an hour, in an able and eloquent manner. @BThe Fremont and Dayton torch light procession here this evening, was the greatest and most imposing polit! eal ¢ ‘stration ever witnessed in New England.
