The papers are filied with correspondence relative tothe difficulty be tween the Western Powers and Naples, bat noth’ g veally definite was known further than the fac — already telegraphed—tbat Engiand and Prance had waspended diplomatic interconse with King Feri mand. It appears that the Opera war had extended te Paria, where Senor Verdi was at last date i ‘ellion on a question ef cash, and had probil ‘the production of “Ii Trovatore.’ The U' States frigate Merrimac was still an object of much ‘interest in England. and a scientific correspondent of the London Post gives graphic descriptions of a visit which he made toher. Lord Howden, British Minister at Madrid, had had an interview with te Emperor Napoleon and M. Targot, in Paris. It is reported that the English money marke’ was easier, ‘and the bank returns more favorable. We have dates from Tampico to the 20th ult Gen.

A letter from onr correspondent at the city of Mexico, dated 17th ult., which we publish else where, gives all the news stirring in that quarter. The Chamber of Commerce met on Tharsday last, and adopted a resolutiom requesting the Common Council toemploy steam fire engines down town. A eommunication was received from the Collector of ‘the Port in relation to the payment of goods on storage, which was ordered on file. Nothing else ot imterest transpired. The Roard of Alderman met last evening. A resolution directing the Committce on Ferries to imvestigaie the recent proceedings of the Union Ferry Company in_relation to their refusal to issue eommutation tickets to passengers, also to give a Stutement of the receiptsand expenditures of the company, and report fally as to what are the powers and duties of the said Union Perry Company, was adopted unanimously. As the chairman of the Commitee on Ferries is also a member of the Board of Pisectors of the Ferry Company, there is no good reason why the public should not at an eerly day be pol in possession of all the facts regarding the alieged grievances of the Brooklyn people in this master. in the Board of Councilmen last evening e plan war vibmitted for increasing the number of election district: in the city. This is a good move, as all who votes on Tresday last will testify. The num- ber of polling places in many of the wards should be doubled. A report, concurring with the Alder- wen in favor of a Post Office in the unper section of the city, was accepted. The Sarrogate made an important decision yes terd»y on ponoupative wills, Im early times wills were made by word of mouth, and the most solemn instroments in writing might be orally revoked.

The Great Results and the Suggestive De- velopements of the Preskiential Election, ‘The general results of this Presidential elec- tion in the North are of the most tremendous and imposing character. The democracy have se- cured the election of Buchanan by the skin of his teeth, and only through the silly divisions, de- fections and bad manggement of the opposition forces in the single State of Pennsylvania. They only wanted a change of some fifteen hundred votes, out of an aggregate of four hundred and twenty-three thousand, to secure Pennsylvania in October; and this would have given them not only Pennsylvania in November, (which would have been enough, with what he has, to elect Fremont), but it would also have rendered the opposition ma- jority in New Jersey and Indiana a unit, thus making a clean sweep of the North, from stem to stern, in behalf of the young eagle of the Rocky Mountains, Had our advice been followed in the outset by the managers of the Fremont cause in Pennsyl- vanis, this grand result would have been achieved. We advised these managers in the be- ginning of the campaign te raise funds and spend them freely among the fluttering newspapers and floating political materials of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania. We admonished them to sake time by the forelock, for that twenty thoa- sand dollars judiciously expended in June, July and August would be worth a bundred thousand in September and October. Our advice was disregarded—a parcel of old fogies in New York and Philadelphia took the mat- ter in hand, and by October an opposition majority of thirty thonsand in the State was frittered away. Among the Fillmore organs and loose material in the market, the administration, with its liberal supplies of cash, stepped in, and thus the demo- cracy have secured the spoils of a hundred mil- lions a year for four years, by the judicious ex- penditure of perhaps less than a million in Phila- delpbia and Eastern Pennsylvanie. Thus mach for the general result. Among the secondary results, the suecessfal Wood movement of this city is about all that is left of the demo- cratic party of the Empire State. The corpora- tion party of Mayor Wood, composed of fresh and vigorous materials, and aided by an inde~ pendent press, has secured a great victory over outside cnemies and several little democratic conspiracies for the spoils. The hards and the softs—the Van Burens, Dickinsons and Dixes—in the State at large, bave been literally consumed by the Fremont party, like dry stubble under a consuming fire. And in this city the little New York Hota clique, of which Robert J. Walker is the hea and George Sanders the tail; and the little oyster house Libby clique, of which John McKeon is the chief; and the little ridiculous Whiting clique, in their game for the spoils, have all been whipped out by the Wood party. What follows? Mr. Buchanan’s policy is to recognize the most powerful branch of the party, as the party, and as such, entitled to all the spoila Under this rule, we may depend upon it that Mayor Wood and his party will hold the balance of power in the disposition of the plunder of the Custom House and Post Office. Thus much for New York city, and the little remnant which has been saved of the great democratic party of the Empire State. In some other Northern States the results of these late elections are equally startling. Massa- chusetts, for example, notwithstanding ber Cush- ings. ber old line whig fogies, such as Choate and Winthrop, her Fillmore disorganizers, and her abolition Isbmaelites, is the banner State of the Union, with her majority for Fremont. A popu- lar vote of 65,538 over Buchanan, and a clear Fremont majority of 46,744 over both Buchanan and Fillmore, will do in an aggregate vote of about 10,000, Next, with regard to Mr. Pierce's State of New Hampshire—5,000 Fremont ma- ity in that old democratic stronghold is some thing of a revolution since 1852. As for Mic! gan, under the Freyont pressure, General Cass bas proved to be as weak there asthe Van Ba rens, Dickinaons and Dixes in New York; and as for Ulinois, the “ Little Giant,” or, as General Sam Houston styles him, “ the little runt” of the democratic party, has found it too hot to hold him. Pierve, Cass and Douglas, Choate, Bar- nard ood the Van Burens, should all avail them selves of an early occasion for a sort of family dinner at Baffalo, with Millacd Fillmore, Commo- dore Stockton, Erastus Brooks and General Gus tavus Adolphus Scrogys. In spite of all these unfortunate individuals but for the bad management of the old fogy Fremont committees in Pennsylvania, the triumphs ot Fremont would have involved every State io which the constitutional rights of free speech and a free press were not trampled under foot. It is not wonderful that with the results achieved by Fremont, the democracy are more alaraicd than delighted with the election of Buchanan by the loss to the opposition of a single State. With the demands ot the Southern secessionists on the one hand. and the results of the Presiden- tial election in the Northern States on the other hand, Mr. Buchanan may well exclaim, “What am I, and what are the democratic party to do to be saved *” Waar Wns. Poor Preece Do?-—This is an in- teresting question. What will poor Pierce do’ He bas yet four months grace left him in which to dosomething. If be chooses, within that tine he may remove the greatest stumbling block in the way of Mr. Buchanan--the Kansas quees- tion. Should Mr. Pierce assume the responsi- bility, and secure the admission of Kansas asa free State, he will atone, in that single act, for all the berder rnffianisins of which he has been guilty during the lasttwo yeare. We go further, and declare it as our fixed belief that Mr. Buchanan should be relieved from the responsibility of making Kansas a slave State; for he was nominat- ed because bis hands were clean of any partici- pation in this plot of Davie and Atchison for ex- tending slavery into free territory hy force of arms. At least this dirty piece of work, assumed by Mr. Pierce should be finished by him. Why thould the scheme which has broken down poor Pierce be transferred to the shoulders of Bu- chanan? Why saddle him with thie “Old Man of the Sea?’ Mr. Pierce should relieve his succes- sor of this ugly piece of business; and by admit- ting Kaneas a# a free State, he will save Bu- chanan, save the democracy, and put them on their pegs again, and retura to Concord in a por- feet bleze of glory. What will poor Pierce do? It ie plein what he ought to do; but still the cucstion recurs, what will poor Pierce do? PouiticaL Parties IN THS Unrrep Srares.— We see that some of the journals which have supported Colonel Fremont are consoling them- selves for their defeat by expatiating on the strength shown by what they call “ the republican party,” and by prognosticating triumphs in the future to be achieved by the same “republican party.” A little reflection may possibly save these persons come mortification hereafter. Their idea of a party—that is to say, a com- pact homogeneous body, with fixed principles and perpetual suecession—is not, we apprehend, justi- fied by the reality. Suche party dees not, and never can exist in the United States, We have railroad companies and other moneyed corpors- tions which are aggregates, possessing perpetaal succession, a lasting entity, and usually an in- creasing force from year to year; but in tice we have nothing of the kind. Our are ephemeral creations, with a sudden birth, s rapid growth, and an almost instantaneous decline and extinction, They sprimg into existence from a pe- culiar combination of circumstances, act fora present and direct end, and when that end is either gained or lost, they die. They can seldom be counted upon for more than one Presidential term. The whigs lasted three terms, perhaps four; but the Know Nothings sprang into life since the election of Pierce, and are now extinct, though Pierce is still President: and this, we judge, will be the fate of most parties hereafter. Like militia, they will be suddenly called out to carry an election ; will muster in great force, and do gervice; but the battle day over, they wil! be disbanded, will return to their homes, and you shall seek them in vain. The democratic party appears at first blush to give the lie to this theory; but it does not. The democracy, at bottom, have no principles at all. Their cohesion as a party depends solely upon the spoils. If a respectable Chinese were to ask the best informed among us—what are the party principles and doctrines of this democracy, which has furnished Presidents for the United States for the last fifty years?—the answer would have to be—I don’t know. No one knows. The fact is, the democracy have never bad any principles outside of the natural dogmas of republicanism. But from time to time, as other parties have arisen with ill-judged, or dangerous theories, the demo- cracy has anchored itself on the bare rock of an- tagonism to these novelties ; and what with the efforts of its managers, who are the best politi- cians in the country by far, and what with the general feeling of conservatism with which the trading classes are imbued, it has usually pre- vailed at the polls. After 1852, there was no democratic party; now there is none, so to speak; yet it will undoubtedly loom up great and strong in 1860, for the simple reason that the lead- ers—the spoil-hunters, with their admirable tac- tics, their energy, and their unscrapulousness— and the rank and file—namely the conservative masses of the country, who don’t want to be troubled by political changes—will rise from their obscurity, and call themselves the democratic party. ‘The persons who talk of the strength of the republican party, and expect it to remain where it is, like Trinity Church steeple, or still better, to grow like acrop of wheat, may find them- selves awfully mistaken some day. The large popular vote polled for Fremont was a thing of the moment ; a finite event, without preface or sequel ; it may serve to teach philosophy, but those who expect to use it as a basis for future po- litical edifices, will come to trouble. Each Presi- dential election must be fought on its own basis ; in each one, henceforth, there will be two main parties—the conservatives and the reformers ; and it is reasonable to expect that on some occa- sions the latter will prevail. But to discouat 1860 in favor of a “republican party,” because the Northern masses rallied to the side of Fre- mont, is as unwise as it was for poor Fillmore to expect to be President. Next year, if the re- publican leaders go to the polls with their party, they will probably find it greatly diminished in strength. They can only hope to meet it again, if they rally, in 1860, once more under the name of Fremont. Newsrarer Arracks ox Mayor Woov.— Singularly enough, several of the journals coa- tinue to attack Mayor Wood, even after the election is all over and his triumph made certain. One would suppose from these newspapers that he had been unsuccessful, instead of having achieved a triumph which is, all the circumstances considered, altogether unprecedented. We ap- prehend that the self-constituted committee that met at the New York Hotel, and of which Robert J. Walker was the head and George N. Sanders the tail, have some new intrigue to carry on, and that the republican and other journals have been induced to join with them in endeavoring to prejudice the mind of the new President in rela- tion to the course pursued by Mayor Wood am his friends in the recent contest, and that th: whole affair is gotten up with a remarkably shar) eye to the spoils of the Custom House. The re- cent election has interred hard shells and soft shells and half shells, and all the other faction: in acommon burial ground. It haa also swept away all the fossilized country politicians—the Dickinsons, Van Burens, and others of the same tribe—and we have « new organization of the democracy, under fresher auspices, made up from fresher elements and led by younger men. That organization has been matured and built up by Fernando Wood, and through it Buchanan achieved his triumph in this city. It is the only democratic organization which is a living fact. The others are all bogus. Mayor Woop axp Mestctrat, Revorw.—Our cotemporary, the Courier and Enquirer, devotes much space to a general demolition of Mayor Wood ; and conjointly with this exercise it calls for a reorganization of the police department, and the passage of a Registry law. As Mayor Wood has survived all the Couricr’s efforts to de- molish bim up to this time, he may possibly out- live this one too; #0 this branch of the tusiness may remain as it stands. But when we come to the municipal reforms suggested by our cotemporary, and compare the amount of thought devoted to them with that appropriated for the chopping up of Wood, we cannot but wonder at the small quantity of bread which is mixed with so much sack. The reorganization of the police and the passage of a Registry law are very small items in the budget of reform that is needed. What this city ro- qnires is a wholesale change in the government, from the higest executive and legislative depart- ments, downwards, eo that the city government shali become in point of fact a miniature of the government of the confederacy. This is what the Courier should advocate, aud what we expect Mayor Wood to give his whole thought to the work of effecting ; the organization of the police and the Registry law are good things, but they will follow ae a matter of courte, Ciams or Fres Necrors to tax RickTs or CrrmzeNsHIP--Iuportaxt Decision.—The ques tion whether; free negroes born in this country are entitled a/; citizens to the protection of our gov- ernment while travelling abroad, is, we believe, one which has only recently presented itself for consi@eration. It is true that by a parity of reas¢ ning with other controversies and decisions conyiected with the rights of colored persons, the in®erence was strongly against such claims, but ‘We recollect no case previous to that to which we refer which brought the matter fairly to issue. About ten days since application was made to the State Department, through Mr. H. H. Rice, Clerk to the Superior Court in this city, for foreign passports for eleven persons of color, composing a troupe of minstrels, who were about to start on a professional tour to Europe. The necessary papers and certificates were forwarded with the application. From these, it appears that nine of these persons were born in the State of New York, one in Philadelphia, and one in Portland, Maine. Concluding that there would be no difficulty in obtaining passports from the Department, the troupe left on Saturday last, by the Hermann, with the intention of remaining at Bremen until they received their credentials, pointed by the receipt of the following communi- cation:— Drrarrwunt OF ar} ne oi ean, Nov. 4, 1856. a Nour labiare of the 20th altimo and 34 instant, re- questing passports for eleven colored i ih Hs 285 fli is Ft t : F i d it to be tte d them if b: ita preccnenenk wee sree legal and proper purpose. 1 sir, rea] , your obedient gervant, oreo De TOMAS aeinoet Secretary. The above will no doubt come upon many per- sons by surprise. It is erroneously supposed that the right to vote carries with it all the rights of citizenship, and that consequently persons of amount of $250 above his obligations, is entitled to vote; but from the legal decisions referred to above it is clear that the exercise of this right does not constitute him a citizen of the United States within the intent and meaning of the con- stitution. This maybe very inconsistent, but such undoubtedly is the mw. Its seeming ano mally is, however, mitigated by the intimation that if the Department is satisfied by proper evidence that applicants of this sort wer born in the United States and are free, it wil consider it its duty to protect them if wronged by a foreign government while within its jurisdiction. Tur Ixrucesce or Tae Heraty.—The’ Wash- ington Union, at the close of a litany of groans over the result of the election in the North, finds sonsolation where one would least have expected it—in the Presidential vote in the city of New York. “ It is,” says our cotemporary, “a with- ring commentary on the boasted influence of the Herawp,” &c. With all due respect to the Union, we do not feel withered, under the circamstances, We supported Col. Fremont for President, and he carried the State. We supported Fernando ‘Wood for Mayor, and he carricd the city. The Presidential vote for Buchanan in the city, from which the Union infers that tho Herat lias no influence, was mainly brought about by the ef- forts of Wood, whom the Henao supported. If the editor of the Union had any experience of real newspapers, he would know that a journal with a million of readers cannot but be influential, whatever be the ability with which itisconducted. A Gay Wrex Come.--Thus far during the present season the Presidential question has af- forded our people the peincipal part of their amurcment and excitement, but now that it is all over, and even Wall street satisfied that the coun- try is sound on its pins, for four years at least, the public attention is turned to the world of art and letters. Next week will be an exceedingly busy time among artists of all grades. First, we are to have Thalberg’s concerts— the first on Monday. This promises to be a very brilliant affair; all the places have been sold. The Academy of Music, under the administration of Monsieur Je Baron de Stankovitch, will open on the same night with the “Trovatore;” Maretzck, not choosing to apologize, will not conduct the orchestra. The throne will be filled by his trusty henchman, the amiable and elegant Herr Kreutzer, a gentleman of Tuetonic extraction, favorably known asthe leader of the orchestra for several years, We expect an enjoy- able season during the La Grange management, both before and behind the curtain. ‘The theatres, too, will be interesting. During the week Miss Laura Keene will open her new and elegant theatre in Broadway, and young New York will bring out its brightest of boots and ite tightest of gloves to aid in the launch of the new ship. Mr. Wallack, who ia playing at bis own theatre an exceedingly successful engaye- ment, will hold his own, and doubtless give some novelty. New local comedies will be produced by the irresistible Barton and the indefatigable Brougham. Altogether we shall have a may time of it, Our country cousins may make up their parties to visit the city next week, which will be a sort of golden era for art, We have always strenuously supported the theatres and other places of public amusement, for reasons which are patent to every liberal mind. If our city is made attractive for stran- gers, all classes are directly benefitted in a pecu- niary point of view, and it is especially the duty and the interest of our merchants to sustain all the arta liberally. We are glad to sce that the prospects for a lucrative season at all the houses are exceedingly good, and that the new dramatic copyright has encouraged several writers of emi- nence to enter the field of dramatic authorship, BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, Important from Washington. THE RESULT OF THE PRESIDENTAL ¥LRCTION—- JTS EFYPECT HERE—KANSAS TO BE A FREE STATH. —BUCHANAN’S CABINET, FTO., BTC. Wasuincton, Nov. 7, 1866. ‘The topic here, in the Winte House, in the private par- lors, in the public barrooms, is the election of Bochanan. ‘The closeness of the election and tho immense vote for- Fremont, surprises everybody. But the policy of the incoming s¢mir istration ie the ab- sorbing topic of conversation.

Major Benjamin Perley Poore, the late Fillmore cand}- date for Congress in the Sixth district, arrived in the city thie afternoon with his wheelbarrow and barrel of apples, which he had wheeled ali the way from Newburyport, a distance of thirty-six miles, in two anda half days. Tho Jov was in fulfilment of a bet with Colonel Burbank, the Fremont State Senator elect, that Fillmore would get more ‘votes in Massachusetts than Fremont. The Major, wheeb ing bis apples, was escoried up State street, about two o’clook, by the Fillmore clubs of Boston and Charicsiowa., @ military company and a mounted cavalcade of citizens. ‘The novelty of the performance collected many thou- sands of the people, and the Major was greeted with tre- mendous aad tumultuous applause on all sides.

Batammone, Nov, 7, 1866, ‘The Manufacturers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Columous, Exzcrion.—We had not intended to disturb Erastus Brooks in the grave to which he has been consigned; but there ig a degree of mean- ness combined with impudence in the apologies he is making for his course during the canvass that calls for a few final remarks, In a sneaking penitential strain, Mr. Brooks throws himself upon the mercy of his brother journalists; appeals to their Christian charity, and beats his breast, and says that he is sure that he meant no wrong in opposing Col. Fremont as he did. This sort of excuse is only one shade less disgusting than the offence. No man who, like Erastus Brooks, has been fifteen or twenty years a metropolitan editor, can help knowing that it is very wrong, very mean, base, con- temptible and cowardly, to invent falsehoods about the religion, the birthplace, and the parentage of a candidate; to fill a daily news- paper with them, and scatter them to the world in the most malignant and offensive shape. No man who has had the opportunities and the po- litical experience of Erastus Brooks can help knowing that this is not the way to conduct a canvass; that there was no necessity for dis- cussing any of these questions; and that what- ever the truth was concerning them, Col. Fremont’s fitness for the Presidency would not have been one whit altered. It was because Erastus Brooks knew these things, and because we were all aware that he was sinning not from ignorance but from the very meanest and basest motives that can animate a human being, that with one accord the whole press of New York exclaimed against him, as a disgrace to the profession and an opprobrium to the city. And now that he has received that other penalty, for his misdeeds, a contemptuous rejection by the very people whe were last year all of his way of thinking, the same motives will prevent the public from listening with any pa- tience to the lame and abject plea for mercy which he now puts forward. Mexican Arrams.—-We publish elsewhere an interesting letter from the city of Mexico. Our correspondent, who is familiar with the politics of the republic, gives an interesting resume of the antecedents and present position of the Comon- fort administration. He sends a very clear view of the exact position of affairs, and his letter goes to approve our view of the matter—that Comon- fort must go on as he has begun, and make him- self master of the situation. He must carry out the plan of making the church property pay the national debt, and he must so reduce the army that it never can again be used to get up or upset governments. It is the church that has impo- verished the country; and by taking from the priests the money which they have extorted from the people, the Executive is simply recovering what has been stolen from the State. The mea- sures of Comonfort in relation to the army will be applauded by the friends of constitutional liberty all over the world.
