By the arrival of the steamship Europa at this port we have three days later intelligence from Barope. Its most salient feature is the opinion that seems to be gaining ground that Great Britain and Austria ase drawing closer their relations, in order to counteract the threatened alliance be- ‘tween France and Russia. It is believed by some that the continuance of the Austrians in the Prin- ¢ipalities and of the English squadron in the Black Sea is the result of a secre: understanding between the Cabinets of London and Vienna. Against these statements we have to balance the popular conviction abroad that Lord Palmerston’s sympa- thies are with the Italian revolutionists, and that the demonstration against Naples is the re- sult of a desire on his part to affurd trom countenance and encouragement. With regard to the Neapolitan question itself, there is no thing decisive. Our Vienna correspondent as- eerts that am exchange of despatches has taken place between Paris and St. Petersburg, with a view to engage Russia in the mediation of the affairs of Naples, while France, in order to oppose no unnecessary obstacle to her co-operation, wil , is 18 said, be satisfied with moderate concessions on the partof King Ferdinand. It is added that the Rus- sian ambassador at Naples, M. Kakoschkine, has already opened negotiations to this effect. In the meanwhile the people of the other Italian $:.tes are watching with feverish anxiety the progre:. of ‘this question. At Turin the belief is general that a revolutionary movement is imminent, and prey :ra- tions are being made to take advantage of it. All the Italian refugees have unaccountably disappeared from Switzerland, and it is thought that they are engaged in secretly organizing the people of ineir renpective States for the approaching struggle for Italian independence. From Spain there is nothing important. The disgust of the popular party with @e conduct of the Queen has reached its climax, aad the project of compelling her to abdicate is opealy discussed. It is announced that the commercial policy of the Narvaez administration will be strictly protective. The London Times has been again suppressed in France for its spirited article in reply to the remarks of the Moniteur on the English press. Dr. Kane bas had an interview with the English Admiralty. Colonel Colt bas arrived in Vienna, from Moscow, where he had been treated with great distinction by the Czar. In financiai matters the advices exhibit but little improve: ment. Both in London and Paris the pressure for money continued unabated, whilst the drain on the Bank of England for the current week, although eonsidersbly less than during the previous ‘or* night, is still too large to justify a favorable re- port. The drain from private sources was still greater than from the coffers of the bank, ana it is anticipated that the present winter will be one of unprecedented hardship to commercial men. The sales of cotton yesterday, before the European news, reached about 1,200 21,500 bales, without ebange in prices. After the news came to hand the market assumed a firmer tone, and there was less disposition to rell. Flour was ia fair demand, both for exportand from the home trade, while prices were unchanged, though firm. Wheat was in good demand, and at full prices for choice lots of Western and Cansdian white, which sold at $1 67 a #170, and red Western at $1 52 a $1 60. Corn sold at 69c. a70c. Pork was rather better; it opened at $15 50 a 718 75 for mess,and closed at $19. Sagars were moderately dealt in, with sales of 500 a 600 hhds. Cuba muscovado, and 150 boxes at rates stated in another column. Coffee was quiet, bat at steady prices, with small sales of Rio at 10c. a 11je. Freights were firm, with a fair amount of engage menis_at full rates, especially to English porta. By the arrival of the George Law we have two weeks later news from California end Oregon, and intelligence from the Sandwich Islands, Anstralia, Nicoragua, the West Indies and New Granada. The press of more important matter apon our columns compels us to postpone the publication of reports upon various local subjects until « more favorable opportunity. There is nothing striking im the intel- ligence from California; but ina general point of view it is nevertheless interesting. The George Law brought $1,627,507 in treasure, which is about an average shipment. The rainy season had set in, and the miners bad recommenced operations, and were anticipating a rich harvest among the golden sands and quartz rocks of their respective claims and placers. The notorious Tom Bell, the leader of a desperate gang of robbers im the mountains, bad deen at Jact taken, and was executed within eight hours of his captare. He was represented as being | the worst man among ail the desperadoes who have thus far been the terror of California. Among the news will be found a letter from Mr. Buchanan, in which he states that he is decidedly in favor of the constraction ot a railroad across the Plains to the Pacific, and that he derives the authority t> build the road from the covstitational power to declare war and the constitn!ional duty to repel invasion. Diplomatic relations beve been broken off be- tween Great Britain and the repablic of New Gra- nada, and the British West India squadron has been ordered to operate against the repanlic. This serious and important step has originated oat of an old claim dee ton British se’ named Mackia toab, the full particulars of which are contained in the diplomatic correspondence which we publish. The English steamer which left San Jaan del Norte on the 19th ult., bad anived at Panama with news from Nicaragua. The accounts of the buat tles of Masayn and Granada ace confirmed, but it is asserted that before Waker revohed Grenada from the former town the allied forces hed pad posession of the city and of his headquarters for twenty boars, and hid it not been for the bravery of the few Americans left there, the President would have faileu completely. Mr. Wheeler and another American were shot. All Walker's papers and clothing, with a large quanti'y of copplies, were taken off hy the enemy. Accounts by the Tennessee at New Mrleans state that Don Ferman Ferrer had beer. appointed Minister to the United States, The prospects of Gen. Walker in Nicaragua were highly flattering, and large acces- sions to his forces had been wade, both from New York and New Orleans. 4 number of recruits had also joined his army from California. There had, however, been no further fighting, and it was the general impression that a proclamation of peace would be issued at no Jistant day. Col. Wheeler, the American Minister, was ¢till in poor health, and contemplated returning home. By way of Callao we have news from Australia dated at Melbourne, August 15. Gold digging was being prosecuted with energy and success, notwith- standing the rainy season. Trade had improved. The idea of connecting the different points of the colony by electric telegraph occupied much atten- tion. The elections were at hand. A member of Assembly had cowhided another legislator—é la /a mode de Bully Brooks—in the Parliament house. We have news from India and China. The dates are—Caleutta, Sept. 22; Bombay, October, 3; Hong Kong, Sept. 12; Shanghae, Sept. 14; and Canton, Sept. 10. India was tranquil. The towns of Leia and Derah Ghazee Khan, in the Panjaub, have been almost entirely washed off the face of the earth, and n Lower Bengal the rivers had risen to an extraor- dinary height, and laid the whole country under water. The deaths by cholera in the Punjaub were exormous. The expedition against Persia was still preparing. The imperialists of Canton had beea defeated by the rebels. Advices from Mauritius (I. 0.), of 27th August, say :-~The sogar market was active at 50c. advance, ‘We have files from the Sandwich Islands dated at Honolulu on 20th of September. The royal tour was still prolonged, but a gloom had been cast over the party by the death, at Nawiliwili, of Hon. Mrs. li, a companion of the Princess Kuahumanu. The weather was parching azd oppressive. An esrth- quake shock had been felt at Kona, and the vol- cano of Mauna Lba was active. Agricultare and the raising of live stock were patronised by the government, and the laws of the kingdom were being codified by a legal commission. The newly organized fire companies of Honolulu had hada “run” with their machines, and the men worked gallantly. Attention had been caled to the lax mode of keeping the government accounts now practised. The hide and tallow trade of Kauai were being pushed forward by a private company. Two cargoes of oysters, ordered by Prince Kameha- meha, from California, had arrived for plaoting, but the heat destroyed most of the bivalves betore they were landed, and the remainder were in a very poor condition. Public balls and theatricals were in mach vogue in Honolulu. The news from the South Pacific is dated at Val- paraiso on the Ist, Callao 11th, and Paita 16th of October. Independence Day was celebrated at Valparaiso on the 15th of September, when Presi- dent Mont: was inaugurated a second time. Many Bational fetes and ceremoriies were observe? ail overthe republic. Chile had officially allied he«-elf to the anti: Walker league of the other Central ame- rican States. A consular convention had been con- cluded with Ecuador. A treaty had been perfected with the United States, admitting that al! slaves were to be free on touching Chilean territory. The four points of the treaty of Paris were officially re- cognized. Congress was about to adjourn. Rail- roads were paying well, but the silver mines afforded small profits. In Peru political agitation prevailed. A reform in the new constitution was spoken of even before the paper was published. Iquique is de- clared a free port of entry. General Castillo had quitted Peru and gone to Cobija. Another news- paper bad been suspended. In Bolivia a new cabi- net was named. Coal and silver mine explorations were encouraged by government. We have news from Kingston§Jamaica, to the 27th ult. Mining speculations continued profitable. The military doctors—Mosse and Jeasop—had been discharged by the Grand Jury from the conse- quences of poisoning Mre. Colonel King by mistake The Parliament of Jamaica was to meet on the 11th of November. Fevers were still prevalent in the island. Yellow fever had appeared at the military station at Newcastle, five thousand feet above the level of the sea. The Post Office reforms proposed for the islands by England, and the expenses of the executive court, were much canvassed by the news- papers, a8 were also the questions of popular educa- tion and slavery in the United States. Advices from the Cape of Good Hope, up to the 2st of August, represent another war with the English colonists as near at hand, resulting from an extraotdinary excitement produced on the frontier, by the success among the Kaffers of Umhblakaza, one of the succession of “witch doctors,” of whom M.1 kanna and Umlengeni, instigators of former Cape wars, were specimens. The Turks Islands papers contain the following account of a lunar eclipse which was seen from Caicos on the 13th ult.:—On Monday night last we witnessedone of the most distinct eclipses of the moon that we recollect ever observing. The moon was full on that night about 6:45 P.M. At6 P.M. the eclipee was first visible, and nearly total—a small portion only of the upper limb of the moon being lighted. The obscuration did not pass off till 8P.M.; thas two hours were occupied in the transit of the earth's sbadow. Christopher Columbus, jast 364 years the night previous to the eclipse, discover ed Grand Turk, the first land deseried by hiw iu the New World. By way of New Orleans we have news from H.¢ vana to the 2d instant. The preparations against Mexico were going on actively. We have Brazos Santiago dates to the Ist ins'. They comfirm the takiog of Camargo by Viraurri. His movement was a formidable one, and was daily gaining in importance. His next advance would be on Matamoros. The British discovery bark Resolute was towed to sea yesterday.

Our last intelligence from the Isthmus is of an important and interesting character, It makes us acquainted with a fact of some con- vequence—of the rupture of diplomatic rela- tions between England and New Granada, and the despatch of the British West Indian squadron to operate against that republic. The tacts of the controversy which has given rise to this se- rious step are detailed in the correspondence which has taken place between the British Charge d@’ Affairs, Mr. Griffith, and the New Granadian Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Senor Lino de Pombo. This correspondence we publish to day. The Mackintosh claim, which is the origia of the controversy, is an old and somewhat cele- brated one. It arose under the Colombian con- federacy, more than tbirty years ago, and amounted, at the time when that confederacy was dissolved, to $1,120,560—a sum which was duly recognized by the Colombian Plenipotentiaries. By a treaty made between Great Britain and the republic of New Granada, the 13th Dee., 1851, but which did not have any binding influence till August 9, 1853, the republic bound itself to pay half of the capital and interest of this debt. Sab- sequently, on November 24, 1855, another treaty or agreement was entered into between the same Powers, in reference to the same sabject; but as it was not approved by the Congress of New Gra- nada, Great Britain signified her resolve to anaul it and to fall back upon the treaty of 1851, and instructed her Charge at Bogota to insist upon a prompt and exact fulfilment of the conditions of the latter. Mr. Griffith, the Charge, by his official note of September 15, notified the Granadian govern- ment of his instructions, That note was respond- ed to by Mr. Lino de Pombo, who went into a full examination of the claim, and ended by figuring out a result of $220,000 odd, as due by Mr. Mackintosh to the government—a result which he said had been arrived st by a careful scrutiny of the accounts, Mr. Griffith re- torts by saying that this is no new discovery of Mr. Pombo or of the Secretary of Finance, but bad been several times before urged, and its fallacy proved. He repeats his demand for the payment by the Granadian government of Mr. Mackintosh’s claim; defines the amount due hia to be: capital, $419,206 50; interest, $66,088 97—total, $485,295 47; signifies that he will accept payment of one halt in hand and the balance in three months, and privately acquaints Mr. Pombo of the ulterior measures which he is instructed to resort to. Mr. Pombo temporizes and makes offers of settlement; but the repre- sentative of John Bull is obstinate. A few more notes and interviews only served to con- vince him that he had no other resource but to comply with his instructions; and accordingly on the 8th October he notifies Mr. Pombo that diplo- matic relations are broken off, and that the British Weet India squadron is ordered to visit the waters of New Granada and enforce pay- ment of the Mackintosh claim. Mr. Pombo, de- termined to bave the last word, tells Mr. Grif- fith that his action has been hasty and incon- siderate, but that nevertheless, he (Mr. P.) bas notified the forces on the coast not to molest the fleet! A capital joke on the part of the waggish Secretary. And so affairs stood at the date of vur latest intelligence. The action on the part of the powerful govern- ment of Great Britain against a weak govern- ment like that of New Granada, is one which can hardly be approved or justified. But it is most remarkable at this time, as evidencing, in con- nection with other facts, the existence of a regu- lar preconcerted plan of action by England, France and Spain against Central America, South America and Mexico. Spain has recently taken it into her head to try and enforce the pay- ment by Mexico of her debts to the Spanish bond- holders; and while she is preparing an armada at Havana to make a descent upon Vera Cruz, England recollects that she too has some claim against Mexico for indemnity to one or two British subjects, whose interests are said to have been injured by the action of the Mexican government. And thus Mexico is menaced at once by the two Powers—their principal motive being to obtain a foothold there, from whence they might operate to prevent the carrying out of Vidaurri’s idea of a Sferra Madre republic, with its ultimate annexation to the United States, So, too, when a treaty was made between the United States and the Dominican republic—by which the Bay ot Samana was to be ceded to us as a station for our ships—its ratification was prevent- ¢d by the combined action of the Eaglish, Freach and Spanish Consuls in San Domingo; and tiw latter official set on foot a matriculating scheme by which Dominicans are to be converted into Spanish subjects, and the republic is to become again an appanage to the crown of Castile.

The State of Ver- mout bas no right to interfere, in the af fairs of avy other State or Territory, and the State funds raised by taxation for specific par- pores never should be used for any other. It is | a fact patent to all that the Kansas troubles have been originated and fostered by outside inter- ference, and it is time that it was stopped. We have opposed the action of the edministration in endeavoring to make Kuusas a siave State by force of arms. We also oppose any interference of the opposition to dictate to the settlers as to their Jawe or domestic institutions If Kaneas should be a free State, the South should have another State as an offset.

There is nothing more to be said or done about the matter, and all sides should calm- Jy wait the issue, Munictpal Matters—Why are We so Fright- tally T : Every one has a general idea that the cause of our heavy taxation in this city is the corruption and mismanagement of our municipal officers; but the fact has never been 80 clearly and broadly Jaid open as it was on Wednesday evening, in the majority report of the Committee of Aldermen on Repairs and Supplies. That committee had made it its business to inquire into the manner in which Meters. James Irving, Superintendent of Repairs, and Nathaniel S. Selah, Commissioner of Repairs, discharge the duties of their respective offices; the result of the inquiry more than justifies the worst that has been said against municipal cor- ruption. Phe committee declare that the business of the Department of Repairs is carried on in a manner of which @ petty tradesman would be ashamed. On the one side the Commissioner evades the law which forbids the giving out of work to exceed $250 except by contract, by dividing each job into many; making a separate job of the paint- ing, a separate one of the plumbing, a separate one of the tinning, and thus cdnfining each within the prescribed limits; on the other, where he obeys the law, he makes no bargain with the mechanics he employs, but bids them “go on and do it, co long as the cost don’t exceed $250.” The plan on which mechanics are selected is on a par with their instructions. The city glazier is a butcher, the city carpenter a hotel keeper, the tin- ner and plumber never learnt their trades till they were engaged by the city, the person who cleans ou'. the city wells is a doctor's apprentice. Of course these amatenrs value their services higher than regular mechanics would do. The following table will show a few of the sums they have ob- tained from the city, together with the prices which would have been charged for the same jobs by respectable mechanics:— Price demanded by Jobs. mechanics.

The pump maker, about whose antecedents we are uninformed, ‘was never content with less than 350 per cent profit; and when this did not satisfy him he repaired pumps where no one could ever find them. The whole department, the Committee found. was peopled with Know Nothings, though not necessarily followers of Mr. Fillmore. The Commissioner knew nothing of his duties, “having never read the acts of the Legislature concerning them.’ The plumber knew nothing about the cost of lead pipes; the tinman knew nothing about the price of tinning a roof; the clerks knew nothing whatever about the traus- action of the business of the department. Under these circumstances, the Committee re- quest Commissioner Selah and Superintendent Irving to resign their offices, It is to be hoped that the officials will comply. It would be, one would imagine, rather a convenience than other- wise to Mr. Irving, as his duties as Superintendent of Repairs will certainly interfere with the requi- sitions that will be made upon his time when the season comes for him to stand his trial for hi< part in the Stanwix Hall affair. After this exposé, it is to be presumed that we shall hear of no more such blundering in reference io our city expenditures as the rigmarole of which JIndge Whiting delivered himself before election. We know now—or we ought to know—why it costs us eeven millions a year—say twenty thousand dolla, : a day—to govern this city, and why at the same time it is a miserable spectacle of anarchy, where the laws are not executed, person and property not secured, nor the streets cleaned. ‘the da- guerreotype of the Department of Repairs and Supplies furnished us by Aldermen Tucker and Fulmer will answer, with trifling modifications, for any and every other in the municipal govern- ment. There is but one cure for all this, and that we pointed out long ago. The whole of the execu- tive power must be gathered into a single band; the Legislature must give us a new charter; the Mayor must have the sole contcol of the city, and | of all its administrative functionaries, as the President of the United States has of the Cabinet at Washington. He must uot be obliged to re- quest men like Selah and Irving to resign; he must be able to diteharge them, and put them on their ; trial for malfeasance. Or if he declines to do this, he must himself stand responsible. We call again upon the Legislature to clothe Mayor Wood with | ed. maten, in tendering thie token of the friendly feeling the power needful to protect us against such enormities as are taking place in the Depai tment of Repairs and Supplies. € Tue Next Untiep Sra Sexton PROM New Yorx.—Several journals likely to have | some influence over the new republican Legisla- ture, at Albany, are pushing forward Preston King as the man of all others best entitled to preconcerted plan of action between the three | the New York vacancy in the United Stuv« Senate from the fourth of March next And why Preston King? We believe that his sole claim is that be was an old Van Buren democrat till Van Burenism ceased to pay expenses, Otherwise, Mr. King ie a fat, jolly, indoleat coun- try politican, of very small pretensious to states- manship. He has nothing of the talent, tact, ea- terprise, industry or vigilance so necessary, at thie day, fora New York Senator at Washing- ton. A good easy soul Mr. King undoubtedly «: but « character of this sort seldom figures in Congrest, except as the stalking horse of the | lobby. Mr. King is not the man for the United States Senate, We adhere to our editorial can- didates of New York city—originally five; but from the resignation of Captain Greeley and Lieut, Raymond, reduced to three: Messrs. Webb, Bryant and Bennett. We believe that although Greeley bas backed out, he will still consent to serve, if elected, without fear of Rust of Arkan- eas or Bully Brooks. Thurlow Weed, in his de- clination, is doubtless sincere. He can make more money in the lobby at Albany and Wash- ivgton, with half a chance, than any two mom- bers in the Senate. It makes very little diffe- rence with Weed who is before the curtaia, so that he is allowed to pull the wires behind the scenes, We adhore to our three remaining editorial can didates- Webb, Bryant and Bennett, | ENOTROCTIONS OF THE COMMANDER OF THE BRI Cena American Nugoritions.—One of the Philadelphia papers is flattering the good people of Pennsylvania with the news exclusively, that Mr. Dallas has settled, upon the most amicable terme, ali the late existing dif- ferences upon Central American affaira between England and the United States, Why don’t these men tell the truth? Why give to Mr. Dallas an honor which does not belong to him, and which he does not claim? The settlement of this Cen- tra) Amcricap imbroglio is the work neither of Daas, nor Buchanan, nor Marcy. It was inau- gurated at Paris and London by E. G. Squier, late our Minister at Nicaragua, and the work was commenced with the treaty between Honduras and England, to which Mr. Dallas was nothing more than a consenting party after the work was done. If any one man is entitled to the whole credit of settling the Central American dispute, it is Mr. Squier, who kaew what was wanted and where to begin. Evroaiwm on Taurtow Weep.—One of our Wall street cotemporaries favors his readers with a prodigious eulogium on the wonderful Thurlow Weed and bis management of the in- side business of the late Fremont campaign. This is adding insult to injury. Master Weed did manage this late campaign with a ven- geance. It was by his artful management that Fremont has lost the State of Pennsylvania and the Presidency. Master Weed, with the nomi- nation of Fremont, knew exactly what was re- quired to save the Keystone State; but that was not his game. To our certain knowledge he rejected those common sense suggestions and that practical policy in regard to Pennsylvania which would have saved the State in October and elected Fremont in November. He did not care, in fact, to have Fremont elected. Master Weed had another programme in view; but if he does not look very sharply about him it will soon be utterly demolished, without in the least degree impairing the prospects of Fremont for 1860, Where there has been cheating round the board it is only right that the cheated party should have another dea) and fair play on all sides. PexysyLvantA THROWN Away.—Notwithatand- ing the fact that Mr. Buchanan is called “the fa- vorite son of Pennsylvania,” and the fact that he bas been her standing candidate for the demo- cratic nomination for twenty-five years, avd the fact that bis election depended upon the vote of his own State, and the fact that the throwing away of the October election by the opposition revived a general democratic enthusiasm where there had been nothing before but democratic despair—notwithstanding all these facts, it ap- pears that the Pennsylvavia popular vote of No- vember is against the candidate of the Keystone State:— Vote for Mr. Bochanan. Total opporition vore. Oppoeit’on majority .. 1,796 ‘This is enough to show that the opposition, by their divisions, threw away the State of Pennsyl- vanja; and the same is true of New Jersey, Indi- ana and Illinois, It will bea tough job for Mr. Buchanan to make a minority party like the de- mocracy a majority in the country. Tax Cottecrorsuie or tHis Crry axp Our Democratic Facrions—The democratic equab- Die for the spoils has already commenced in this city, with the renewal of the old fight- ing among the factions, The subject of this agitation is the re-distribution of the plun- der of our Custom House, Post Office, &c. Some say that Judge Parker must have the Collectorship, in order to heal his wounds as the defeated democratic candidate for Governor. But this is all humbug. The real candidate of the New York Hotel faction of Walker, Sanders and Company is Augustus Schell, the hard hold- over candidate from 1853. In this clique the de- feated Libby and Whiting, with their’ aggregate five thousand votes for Mayor, are very busy, John McKeon being their legal adviser. The successtul Mayor Wood party will also have their candidate for Collector, and he will be brought forward in dueseason.
