Our correspondents state that the Spanish imtrigue in the affairs of St. Domingo so engaged the attention ef the Captain General that the long talk- ed of attack on Mexico was scarcely mentioned. Todeed, the idea of recruiting a force on the Rio Grande, destined, if neceseary, for a descent on he island of Cuba, had rather alarmed the officials. The runaway Mexican war steamer E! Democrata was still in port, commended by Den Nanes Villavisinca, ‘This gentleman attempts to justify his action in taking the vessel off. It is said that he once com- manded the slaver Malek Adhel, and was about be- ing brought up before our New York conrts. The @epreciation in the standard vaine of American gold eperated on the local and export trade. ‘The Bishop of Mexico had lately offered to General Ghilardi—an Italian by birth—the sum of one han- @red thousand doliars if he would head a revolution sgainst Comonfort—an offer which (éhilardi de- clined in a noble manner. The ball season of Ha- vana has been inaugurated. The Cuban senoritas are all in a flurry of pity with regurd to Mr. Ba- ehanan’s bachelor troubles, and it is hinted that if he ran over to the lovely isle for a month he would have a splendid chance of annexation under the first commandment of the Ostend manifesto—‘ peaceably if we can.” ‘The steamer Marion put into Holmes’ Hole yes terday, after an unsuccessful cruise, since Monday, in search of the wrecked steamship Lyonnais and ber boats, containing the passengers and ere. ‘The Marion experienced very rough weather. So: spoke several verrels, but coald obtain no tidings ot ‘the missing steamer. She won'd proceed imme- @istely upon another search to the southward of Nattucket Shoals. Te-day twenty-three States and Territories of the eonfede.acy will celebrate Thanksgiving Day. In accordance with the usual custom, the law courts, Custom House, the Mayor's office, the office of the Clerk of the Common Council, and the other depart- ments of the city government, will saspend business, to join in the general jubilee. Elsewhere we give extracta from the proclamations of the Governors of the yarious States that join in the celebration of the &;. The examination into the Twentysecoad ward election rict, which was to have been resumed in the Court of General Sessions yesterday, waa post- poned until Saturdoy, in consequence of the indis position of the Recorder. The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday. ‘Their bocks show that emigration is constantly on the increase. Last week 8,599 persons arrived at this port, being the largest number landed at Castle Garoen depot in one week since its establishment. ‘The emigration so far this year has been 129,977, being an increase over the emigration of last year for the seme period of 4,248. The indebtedness of the Commission, which last year was nearly $100,000. sud threatened to swamp the institation, Is been diminished to $6,376 81, and altogether fits effuirs promise very well. There are now 1,382 peresous in ‘he inetitation under thetr charge, a de- ereare of over 500 since last year. In the Board of County Canvassers yeeterday, the ease of the alleged election disturbances in the First ‘ward was taken mp. A full report of the proceed- ings may be found in to-day’s paper. We understand that Judge Peabody, recently ap- pointed to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench of this city, will preside at the trial of Lewis Baker, charged with the homicide of Wm. Poole, on Monday next, at Newburg, Orange county. The Board of Sapervisors last evening received a @ommunication from the Board of Edacation con- taining the estimates of money required for schoo! parposes during the year 1867. Theaggregate sum amounts to $1,190,416, The Board adopted a reso- jution authorizing the Reeorder to appoint a clerk, at a salary of 1,000 per annum. The Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen met Inet evening, bot nothing of importance was acted on. Richard H. Dana, Jr., of Boston, deliverod a lec- ture leet evening, at Clinton Hall, Astor place, be- fore the New England Society of the city of New York. From three to four hundred persons were present and marked their approval by frequent ap- planse, the subject being “Edmund Barke, in his re- lations t» America.” Mr. Dana did not confine himself etrictly to his text, but dealt also with Mr. Rarke in his relation to Warren Hastings, Cato! Emencipation, Abolition of the Sl.ve Trade, the French Revoluvion, &e., and wound up eveatually with a long array of brilliant testimonials to Burke's public and private worth, from bis own time down to the present. The lesture was & most successful ope. The cotton market was active yesterdsy, and the sales veached about 3,000 a 4,000 bales, closing with. out change of moment to prices, while a s*ronger flour market opened amoant of sales, but previous day’s prices. 12. and Southern yellow at 73c. and white at 70c. Pork was heavy and lower, with more doing at the decline. Sales of mess were made at $17 75. Sugars were steady, with saies of about 300 hhds. and about 500 boxes, at prices given in another place; 250 bhds. Porto Rico molasses sold at 54c. a 550. Cof- fee waa quiet. Freights closed rather stronger for English ports, with a fair amount of engagements. The supply of beef cattle in market yesterday was fully equai to the demand—which was not very brisk, owing to the very general consumption of poultry during Thanksgiving week—and last week's rates were firmly maintained, prices ranging from Tc. to llc. per pound. Cows and calves improved somewhat, the best qualities selling as high as $65. The demand for veal calves waa also affected by the large supplies of poultry, and paives receded, the ruling rates being 5c. a 7je. per pound Sheep and lambe were plenty, and sold briskly at better prices than last week—say $2 a $9 each, according to qua- lity. There were large supplies of swine, which were quickly disposed of at 64c. a 6{¢. per pound. Capt. Manning, of the schooner Wm. H. Tit- comb, at this port from Laguna, reports the death of the American Consul at that plave, on the 1st of October. sexs The Southern Disunionists and Mr. Bacha- nan—Governor Wise’s Visit to Wheatland, A few days ago Governor Wise, of Virginia, pasted through Washing!on en rowe to Wheatland, and doubtless be has sisee hada free and full consultation with Mr, Buchanan upon his policy touching the several factions of the democratic party, the distributioa of the spoils, and the price of niggers. It is the opinion of maay of our de- mocratic politicians that this visit of Governor Wise is due to a special invitation of Mr. Bacha- nap, much after the fazhioa of Mr. Hunter's visit to Concord some four years ago. Some say that Mr. Buchanan’s object in this invitation of the Virginia Bombastes Furioso is to ascertain how much of principles and how much of the spoils will satisfy the ultra Southern wing of the party without doing violence to the conservative de- mocracy of the North—some say that it is for the purpose of sounding Wise in reference te his dis- position to accept some secondary position in the Cabinet—and one gentleman, at least, has sug- gested to us that Mr. Buchanan, with a view to a safe conservative beginning, has called for Mr. Wise to ascertain the expediency, under a South- ern exposure, of the retention of Mr. Marcy as Secretary of State. For our part, we are not satisfied with any one of these solutions of this mysterious visit of Gov. Wise to Wheatland, so close upon the heels of the election. We are rather of the opinion that this mission of the disunion Governor of Virginia isa voluntary mission as the ambaseador of his clique, and that the cause of it is pretty broadly foreshadowed in a leading article from the Richmond Lnquirer, which we transfer to the columns of this paper. Tt wili be obeerved that the editorial in question is bused upon a late telegraphic despatch from Richmond to this journal, giving us the information of a projected coup d’ état among the Southern dis- unionists, for bringing Mr. Buchanan to terms in advance, at the hazard of his election by the Electoral Colleges in December. The existence of such a plot is stoutly denied; our despatch is charged upon the Fillmore-Botts party of Rich- mond, who are said to be in favor of Fremont for 1860; and we are assured that the Southern dis- union democracy are entirely satisfied that Mr. Buchanan “ will redeem the pledges of his nomi- nation, and repay the obligations of his election.” Now, what are these “ pledges” and these “ob- ligations?” As interpreted by Governor Wise, the Richmond Enquirer and other apostles and organs of the Southern disnnionists, the pledges of Mr. Buchanan are, the admission of Kansas as a slave State, the “ wresting the island of Cuba from Spain, if we have the power,” an extra- ordinary advance in the price of niggers, and an ultra Southern administration out-and-out-spoils policy, foreign policy, and domestic policy. The “obligations” which Mr. Buchanan is thusexpected to repay, are involved in the unanimous vote of the Southern States in the single exception, in bebaif of the Cincinnati no- mination and platform. The) Richmond Enquirer says this extraordinary Southern support of Mr. Buchanan is due to the conclusive fact that “they understand bim, and he understands them,” and that “they know the rights of the South are se- cure in bis bands.” Still, we think that all this show of satisfaction and confidence must be taken with some grains of allowance, and that th< sweet toned aria of our Richmond spoilsman |. withal something in it of alarm, something of distrust, and something like a stiletto covered up in its proffered handful of flowers. Why else these emphatic allusions to “ pledges” and “ obliga tious” and “the principles of the platform ?” We are seriously inclined to the conclusion that these Southern disunionists of hoal of Wise, Mason, Davis and Slideli have becom alarmed with the developements tha! have leak ed out from Lancaster since the election, indie. tive of a conservative national policy oa tue part of Mr. Bachanan, foreign and domestic, and that this mission of Gov. Wise to Wheatland is t mind the President elect of his “pledges” wut “obligations” and “the principles of the plat- form.’ We know that the admission of Kansas ax a slave State is the sine qua non with Governor Wise—that upon this subject he will not take “no” for an answer; and yet Mr. Wise must have the sagneity to per- ceive that the admission of Kansas as a slave State under Mr. Buchanan's administration will be fatal to him and to the democratic party of the North. We look upon this visit of Governor Wise. therefore, to Wheatland, as a visit of mischief to Mr. Buchanan and his administration, and we admonish the President elect to beware of the counsels of Wire and every mac of that disnnion faction who have been of late so busy in preach- ing and plotting treason, secession and revolu- tion in the event of Fremont’s election. The disunion fledging of the Richmond Fngwirer can- not escape from the odium of this traitorous con- epiracy by prating of the “ vindictive hostility’ of the New York Herat to Mr. Bachanan. We have no particle of hostility desire his success in the admi gevernment; and we speak to him in good faith when we say that unless he ehall cut these South- ern disunionists adrift, they will ruin him as they have ruined poor Pierce. shown, have they commenced their game of “ pale or ruin; and this mysterious mission of Wiee is but a feature in the Davis programme, which is to facilitate the ultimatum of a South- ern confederacy by a complete sectional dierup- tion of the democratic party under Mr. Bu- chenan's administration. Already, as we have | Russian Progress in Europe. It will have been seen from the article we pub- | lished yesterday from the London Post, Lord Pal- i merston’s organ, that the British statesmen appre- hend at no distant day a fresh rupture with Russia, The government of the Czar is accused of leaving no means untried to produce a breach between France and England. Its emissaries are said to be employing bribery, artifice and female fascinations indifferently in order to woo not only France but America, and to pave thé way for a great national coalition against England. Per- fons on this side the water, and au courant of our public opinion, may be inclined to smile at the machiavelli designs imputed to Mr. Stoeckl and his friends; and those who know the American temper best will be apt to conclude that such a coalition against Engiand as the Rassian govern- ment is said to be planning might have the effect of drawing closer our own ties of alliance with the British realm. However, it is plain that the United States occupy @ secondary place in the picture: France and Germany are the central figures upon whom the Russian diplomatists seem o be testing their skill. It would no doubt in fact be precipitate to sup- pose that the capture of Sebastopol and the loss of territory thrown upon Russia by the treaty of peace had so permanently weakened her aa to necessiiate the abandonment of her traditional policy. The losees intlicted on Russia fifty years ago were unquestionably greater than thore she has lately suffered. In 1806, judicious observers felt’ satisfied that Russia was so exhausted that it would take half a century for ber to raise her head: yet in nine years from that time, she was dictating terms of peace to Eu- rope, and within twenty years she was overrun- ning Turkey, Transcaucasia and the country around the Caspian. Now, she has only suffered in money; and her credit, after the war, is better than it was before. Her loss in men is not large enongh to be appreciable. With the exception of Sebastopol and one or two other Black Sea forts, her Jand defences are as strong as ever, and with money she will soon replace the fleet she lost. Nor is she idle in supplying the deficien- cies which pressed so heavily upon her in the late war. Throughout Russia a system of railroadsis being built. When it is completed, troops may be conveyed at a rate of fifty miles an hour from any one point to any other. The importance of this addition to the military strength of the em- pire, can hardly be exaggerated. When it is re- membered that the standing army of Rusia amounts—independently of extraordinary levies —to amillion of men in round numbers, while England and France, with all their exertions were never able to muster a quarter of that force in the Crimea, it is easy to conceive what might be effected by a sudden concentration, by the aid of railroads, of even a portion of this immense force on any one point. The East is indicated as the probable point of attack for Russia, It is indeed quite likely that some further extension may be given to the Rus- sian power in Persia—that the Russian front on the Caspian may be enlargeé in the vicinity of Khiva—that the country round Kars may be more extensively Russianized. But the whole Turkish empire must go to pieces. There is no poesibility of saving it another generation, The Western Powers which have undertaken to stand as sponsors for its regneration, will find, before they have been at work three years, that the game is not worth the candle, and that they may as well let Russia achieve its destiny by crumb- ing to pieces at Constantinople. Screws anp Sipe Waeers.—The appearance in this port of so many large and beautiful steam- ships propelled by the screw, has led the public mind to consider the comparative value of this kind of propulsion with that of side wheels. In Great Britain the former mode is decidedly the favorite one, and the specimens they have been sending to the ports of Quebec, New York and Philadelpbia are certainly an honor to its ship and engine builders. To graceful forms they add compact and powerful engines and a handsome rig. In this country we have not yet made much progress with the screw. Our ocean vessels built on this principle have not hitherto been very suc- cessful; on the lakes they have worked to greater advantage. ‘The introduction of the screw was at first warm- ly opposed by scientific men. The idea of work- ing a wheel, or an oar, or a revolving blade en- tirely under water, was considered iNusory. The resistance of the water to the submerged screw a the vessel moved forward, and the resistance of the back water accumulated and dragged be- tween the screw and the stern of the vessel, were thought to be almost equal to the force of the screw revolving against the water behind it. The propelling power was considered to be nearly neutralized by this resistance, while the side | wheel, halfin air and half in water, revolved without those practical difficulties. For a tim: the principle of screws was left in doubt, but lat terly it has triumphed over every objection. By a skilful adjustment of its pitch, careful modifi- | cation of the form and size of the blades, and the | shaping of the etern to which the screw is attach- | ed, naval engineers have arrived at very great | accuracy in their calculations, and pretty certain results in the construction of their screw en- gines. Rut there are other advantages enjoyed by pro- pellers, which cannot be obtained by the side whee! steamers. First, in the comparative cheap- nese of their construction. Second, in the anin- terruptednese and regularity of the action of the screw, not attainable by the side wheel in rough | weather. Third, in the ability to carry all sail, and embrace the full advantages of canvass, whether going before the wind or with the wind abeam. This the side wheel steamer cannot do. Fourth, in facing a head wind, as a propeller of- fers but little comparative resistance. A side wheel steamer offers with her wheel houses and upper works, nearly double that of, a transverse section of her hull to the water line“ We have an illustration of this in the last trip of the steamship City of Washington, from Liver- | pool to Philadelphia. She left port Nov. 5, at 12:57, and at midnight passed Holyhead. Nov. 6, at noon, bad made 265 miles, the wind south nt 11:40 all eaile eet. Nov. 7, wind 8. to S. B. | light, all equare saile set.

Nov. | steaming only; run 200 miles, abreast Cape May. ‘The greatest distance was made on the 11th Nov., 306 miles, with all plain sail set, and the pas- sage was one of twelve days only. In this way she made a trip equal in speed to that of our fastest steamers a few years since, and within two or three days of those of our most successful and expensive side wheel ships now. Aguinst the competition of these screw vessels many persona imagine the side wheel eystem will have to give way. For safety and comfort at sea, they now compete successfully with their rivals, Socia.ism: iy THe Unirep Stares—Deatu or M. Canet.—From time to time during the last balf century, certain philosophers, discontented with buman nature in general apd Europea@ so- ciety in particular, have invented nice theories for the entire re-organization of the race, and, despairing of success in Europe, have come to the United States, where they could have a clear field to set up their systems and get some little money to oil the machine and set it in running order. We have no time to enumerate the vari- ous systems of these reformers, and as they have all failed, the labor would be of no value to our readers, Suffice it that socialiem, Fourierism, Tcarianism, communism and all the other isms, have had their day. They all had a full and fair triad in @ new country, where land was cheap, water plenty, air pure, and no policevor despotic government, to interfere. The phildwophers had full. swing—perfect liberty. might go where there was n? society ai ell, or they might have society of any color they liked—red, brown, black, white or yellow. There was nothing to prevent them from returning to an absolate state of na- ture, and dressing themselves in the skins of wild beasts—or, indeed, ignoring dress and other old fogy conventionalities altogether. This was cer- tainly a fine opening. Here was the greatest country in the world for experiments, Singular- ly enough they all failed. There was the white kid glove phalanx at Brook Farm, headed by Dana, Ripley, Hawthorne, and other elegant Fonrierista. Where they spun theories, superan- nuated paupers now pick oskum. Then there were the Bloomers at Red Bavk—they bloomed for one summer, and then, too delicate to stand the rough Jersey winds, withered like sweet rosebuds, as they were. M. Cabet, certain- ly an able man, set up his Icarian colony at Nau- voo. He soon found that there must be a head to everything, and very naturally thought he was the only proper person to be that head. His subjects rebelled—his system fell il); the theory and its founder died at the same moment. Now we have two attempts on foot to change the existing order of things: The Mormons wish to increase the popn- lation and reorganize society by the system of polygamy; the Shakers, on the other hand, desire to prevent al) marriages and giving in marriage, and to reorganize society by cutting off the po- pulation, having no more procreation or repro- duction—making the human race stand still for a while. The Mormons have trouble in their camp; the Shakers are very few in numbers. ‘The philosophy of the whole matter is simple. While the American people stretch out the hand of welcome to the stranger from every land— while they give him protection, and an opportu- nity to earn his bread by well paid labor, they algo examine him carefully before they believe him of trust him. The very freedom of opinion and of the press which he imagines is to insure the success of his theories is really the cause of their failure. He is judged by his ments alone. He must always come to his proper level. This is equally true of philosophers, politicians, artists er litera- Ty men. The case of Kossuth isin point. He was treated with the most splendid generosity, carefully analyzed, and soon brought down to his proper level. Mitchell also, the Hibernian Bobadil, came posting from Australia with au entire new set of political theories, with which he expected to upset the world. He was dined and wined for a couple of weeks—then brought to bis own level and pensioned off with some fat negroes oi the Governor Wise pattern and a small planta- tion in Tennesse, from whence he occasionally illu- minates the world. The Bonapartes, too, have al- ways been brought down to their proper place. And if the present Emperor should ever return to New York—which is not improbable after the affairs of the present French government are wound up for want of funds—we have no doubt that he will be seen driving tandem at Harlem, as in the good old times. Nothing like these United States for taking the nonsense out of people. Vide Peabody. Portzaits ov tHe New Corroratioy..—When aman becomes celebrated he always calls in Brady or some other tip-top artist, and has his picture taken, as a gratification to his friends anda joy forever to his posterity. No doubt some of the gentlemen who have lately been elected to the responsible posts of Aldermen and Councilmen will perpetuate themselves in this way, and therefore cannot object to pen and ink sketches at the hands of the press. A few days since we expressed a wish for some tketches of the new Corporation, to ascertain if, judging from their antecedents, they were as great scamps as they had been represented. This request has been complied with in part, and we have a large amount of interesting biographical matter on hand. Some of the sketches are favorable, but one or two look very black. One of the Aldermen elect is limned as a man who fled from his country to the land of the free and the home of the brave, to she! ter himself from the vigilance of the law. He set up business in a small way ip 4 pugilist, and was engaged as a principal in scveral fights, He was also kind enough to act as second in several of these elegant exhibitions. From prize fighting to emigrant running is a natural transition, and our conscript father be- | came a runner. But the emigrant business not | being eo lucrative as politics, he determined to | help save the Union and be elected Alderman, in both of which attempts his efforts were | crowned with entire success. During the electicn | the exuberance of his supporters showed itself in some picturesque knockdowns, black eyes and | bloody noses, but these are onty the playful ex- hibitions of excited democracy. This Aldermen makes a pretty picture, and we hope he will be appointed Chairman of the Committee on Law, He must be well versed in the criminal code, Another of the Corporation bas figured in the police reports rather extensively during the past three monthe, and has a penchant for getting | drunk and kicking up rows in disreputable houses. These probably are only the eccentrici- ties of genins too long pent up. Portrait num- ber three is of a Councilman who ie said to be | tolerably well known among the “fancy.” He | recommended himeelf to the suffrages of the voters of hie district by walking into a station house and beating s policeman in his bed. He was dismissed from the police for misconduct, and is now returned by a grateful community as a member of the Corporation. A fourth Coun- cilman is said to be @ drunken lounger about engine houses; a fifth, a dealer in old boot legs; and an assereor has been indicted as an accessory in a recent murder, This is a pretty fair beginning for some light and pleasant reading for the holidays. Let it goon. Let us know all about these fellows, so that we can keep a watch on their official life. The independent press is the only palladium of the people’s rights, It must be vigilant and un- tiring. Send along the facts. Let us know who are to govern us. A Movement To Save Marcy.—The organ of the Wall street democracy is out in behalf of the continuation of Marcy in the State Department under Mr. Buchanan; and, singularly enough, with the same argument substantially, the Buffalo Express, one of the most faithful of Seward’s or- gans, pleads even more earnestly in favor of Marcy’s retention as the head of the Cabinet. Why Marcy ? What does Mr. Buchanan owe to Marcy ? When the former was eent to England id not the latter reserve to himself the pleasing task of the Canadian reciprocities, and saddle Mr. Buchanan with the settlement of the Ceniral American entanglement, of which no man at the time could see the head or the tail? Marcy, looking himself to the suceession, did this to crip- ple Buchanan; but in that Ostend busittess the Premier made a bold stroke to crush him out en- tirely, and would have done it, too, but for Mr. Pierce’s bowels of compassion for “ Pennsylva- nia’s favorite son,” and in consideration of the fact that Pierre Soulé bad inveigled him into the snare. When Marcy undertakes the execution of an obnoxious individual he does it with the skill of @ master, but with the remorseless cruelty of a butcher. And thus he would have served Mr. Buchanan bad not poor Pierce turned the ven- geance of the Premier upoa the head of Soulé. And yet our verdant old fogy cotemporary, repre- senting the Wall street democracy—a choice lot of shavers and ebarpers—pleads that Marcy should be retained as the Premier of Mr. Buchanan. The idea is preposterous. Mr. Buchanan must begin with a new Cabinet, new from first fo last, and be must be master of his situation. If he finds that be has a Cabinet which ia discordant, clashing, intriguing and mischievous, he has only to follow the example of General Jackson, and turn them adrift. Above all, it will not do to build the new ship upon the old hull of Marcy. That would be like lining an old pair of breeches with a new piece of broadcloth. Marcy will not do. His retention would be equivalent to the continuation of Pierce’s whole Cabinet, with the part of Hamlet left out. Bvcnanan anp THE Cusan Frupvsters.—We publish to-day a translation of a rather remark- able article, which has recently appeared in the Cuba revolutionary journal La Verdad, published in thiscity. It felicitates Cubans, first upon the election of Mr. Buchanan as the next President, and, secondly, on the complications likely to arise out of the contemplated Spanish invasion of Mexico and the counter Mexican invasion of the island of Cuba. It finds in Mr. Buchanan just the man for the times—a man who is pledged to the acquisition of Cuba, either by purchase or conquest. It recommends as the members of his Cabinet, Soulé, Slidell, Robert J. Walker, Doug- Jas and Wise, and flatters itself that with such an administration we sre going to enter upon a really filibustering era, in which England and France will prove of no account whatever. We doubt, however, whether Mr. Buchanan, over whose triumph these Cuban patriots exult so much, will prove ench a fire-eating filibuster as they regard him in advance, or whether any of the distinguished individuals whom it designates as his Cabinet ministers will ever receive a port- folio under him.

Thalberg, who has now given five concerts at Niblo’s, to crowded houses, is a real tribute to the merit of a great artist, unassisted by any of the dodges or humbugs that were resorted to by his predecessors. M. Thalberg came here modestly and without any nonsense. He waits quietly till the people get over the excitement of the election, and then announces his concerts in a quiet way. He simply said--“Here I am, I will play on such a night, and the price of ad- mission will be at the usual rate for first class musical entertainments in your city.” There was no Barnum or Leopold de Meyer humbug— no serenades or rehearsals, or tickets sold at auc- tion, or any of the other tricks that have dis gusted everybody. We can safely point to M. Thalberg’s euccees, and the manner in which it has been achieved, as a good example to all the artists who succeed him. Lavra Keene's Orextxa Appnrss.—We regret that this gifted lady should have allowed injudi- cious counsellors to persuade her to parade her private affairs before the public in the speech which she made on Tuesday evening in opening her theatre. Managers are not different from other people, nor are their quarrels with their landlords about their leases any more interesting than thoee of their neighbors. Such private buriness should be transacted in private: the pub- lic don’t care about it, and don’t want to hear of it. Nor can we approve Miss Keene in leading be- fore the public Mr. Trimble, her architect, who may be a most worthy man in bis way, but who has evidently no business on any other boards than boards for building. The exhibition he made, and the speech which ushered him in, were not in equally good taste with the furnitures of the theatre. We bope Miss Keene may be eminently success ful with her new theatre, and have no doubt that such will be the case; but she must beware of the counsellors who prompted this opening speech.

Mr. Whoeler, our Min'ster to Ni~ caragua, is avother annoyance to the Pierce administra- tion. The President, you will recollect, recerved te Pa- dre Vijil as the representative of the Rivas government. Since then Rivas has split from Walker, and the latter hac set up on his own book, and has been elected President, giving that happy republic two Presidents, When Fa- ther Vijtl became disgusted with our gas light, which. nearly kiled bim, and lelt Washington, he closed all re- lations with the United States. On, reaching New York, he discovered he had made a mistake; to correct it he: appointed Major Beiss Oh @atfairs. Shortly after this Mr. Appleton Oakemith, aa enterprising New Yorker, who bad entered largely into Nicaragua matters, was ap- pointed Minister to the United States by Gen. Walker, superseding, as Walkor thought, both Vijil acd Heiss; but on his presenting himselfto Mr. Marcy, the latter would not receive him in bis official capacity, stating that the government had recognized President Rivas, and not. President Walker. Marcy sticks to this Now another. Minister appears, a native, in the formof Da Fermin Ferrer, late Proyi:ional President. What will Marey do- now? Ifhbe receives Ferrer he recogaizes the Walkor government. Will he dotbat? What will Jetferson Da- vis and Caleb Cushing do? Speaker Banks’ Lecture in Boston.
