The News. The Cabinet was occupied yesterday with the New York appointments. Nothing, however, trans- pired to indisate who the lucky ones will be. The ames may perhaps be announsed to-day. The Dean and Boker matrimonial cise was de- cided yesterday by Judge Davies. We give a full veport of the proceedings elsewhere. The wife is to dwell with her busband, and he, as in duty bound, is to love and cherish, &e., &c. It is to be hoped that the course of their wedded love will ran smoothly henceforth. We have accounts from Venezuela, dated at C+ waccas, 17th ult. President Jose Jadeo Monagas had delivered his annual address to the Legislatare an’ people. His Excellency assures both that the Euro- pean debts of the republic will soon be satisfactorily arranged, although the balance sheet of the treasury exhibits a deficiency just now. The making of the Venezuelan Central Railroad had been contracted for, The Columbian Confederative Union was strongly advocated. The republic was at peace; its prospects good, and the cholera had disappeared. A reform in the electoral system, as a precursor to ereform of the constitution, was recommended by the executive. President Monagas intimated his desire to resign his power to the people, but after- wards consented to retain it at the solicitation of ‘heir representatives. In the Senate a sharp discus- sion had tiken place on the question of granting public pensions, and a vote of $16,000 to General Gregori>. Monagas has not acted upon it, bat re- ferred it to a committee of three. The memory of Dr. Jove Maria Vargas was treated with the highest bonors, and his name inscribed on the government vecords under the title of ‘Regenerator and Con- stant Promoter of Science.” » Dr. Vargas died in this city a few years since. His remains will be taken to Venezuela, and interred with due ceremo- nies. By the arrival of the schooner Sarah Mills, Capt. Rowley, from Georgetown (British Guiana), we have received files to the 10th inst. They contain pothing of importance. We have news from Bermuda to the 10th instan. Itis, however, entirely of a ocal character. The Gevernor had opened the Colonial Parliament, and complimented members on the improved ssaituy condition of the island.

Mabogany and logwood were very scarce. A eargo of either could not be procured at any price Bad weather had prevailed for several weeks, ana the smallpox was spreading in every direction. A new salvage law, intended to prevent the waste and destruction of wrecked property, had passed the Legislatare. The tariff adopted for this year is very similar to that of last year. Mr. Stevenson, the su- perintendent of the colony, was to be superseded by a Mr. Seymour. The first named gentleman goes t the Isle of France. The bark Wm. 0. Alden, from New York, had not arrived. She was two weeks overdue, and some anxiety was felt on her account. The Board of Aldermen met last evening. A re solution was adopted stopping for one week all the omnibuses rumning to the South ferry at the eas: end of the Park,and caucing them to return vy way ‘ef Chatham and Centre streets. A sufficient nur - ber of stages to accommodate passengers will ran from the Park to the South ferry. There are 536 omnibuses licensed to run through Broadway to the Battery, and the greater part of them go empty to the South ferry, below Wall street. A report autho- rizing a map of the proposed avenne west of Broad. way was adopted. The Legislature is to be memo- rialized for an act authorizing an additional appro- priation of $65,000 for repairs and supplies. A re solution inviting farmers and gardeners to clean the @treete for the dirt they may gather was adopted 4 committee was appointed to investigate as to the bon-fuifiiment of the contragt for paving Chatham street and the Bowery. Nearly the whole of the business portion of Ply mouth, lows, was destroyed by fire yesterday. Loss estimated at $100,000, The Board of Supervisors met last evening, but nothing of importance was done. The bill of Judge Greene, of the First District Court, for #590 for rent for his court room, was ordered to be paid. The journeymen carpenters met last night and formed a protective society, to ensure the payment of th increased rate of wages demanded. The Surrogate yesterday granted the application of the Poblic Administrator for leave to sell the fur nd other personal property of the late Dr. The application was resisted by the coun. niture Hurde!l. sel of Mre.

From sources at Washington entirely reliable we are informed that the rejection of the parcel of treaties lately negotiated at Mexico, under the auspices of President Pierce, by our Minis- ter, Mr. Forsyth, has been followed up by our present Cabinet with the draft of a new treaty upon the simple basis of money for land. We are further advised that the same messenger who brought the Forsyth treaties from Mexico—Mr. Butterfield—has been despatched back via Mobile to the Mexican capital with the substitute pro- posed by our new administration. We are gratified, also, to learn that it is the concurrent opinion of both Mexicans and Ameri- cans at Washington, conversant with the exigen- cies of Gen. Comonfort’s government, that this new treaty will be cheerfully accepted by him, as it promptly meets the main object of all his overtures—a liberal supply of ready money. Abandoning entirely the projects embodied in Mr. Forsyth’s batch of treaties, of frontier reci- procities and tariff concessions and securities, to- gether with his roundabout equivalent in the shape of a loan to Mexico, the new treaty pro- poses the purchase of the Territories compre- hended in the Northwestern Mexican States of Sonora, Sinaloa and Lower California, in- cluding the great Gulf uf California, which in itself, if secured, will prove to us a most impor- tant commercial and naval acquisition. In ex- change for this vast extent of waste lands and waters we are to pay some twelve or fifteen mil- lions of dollars, including three millions to be set epart for the satisfaction of claims of Ameri- can citizens—-the claims of all other foreigners, as against the Mexican government, being very properly ignored. Another feature of the treaty is the proposed establishment of a line of postal steamers be- tween New Orleans and Vera Cruz, under the American flag. In ordinary times, and under ordinary circumstances, this might justly be cou- sidered as a business affair, in which Vera Cruz and New Orleans would be almost exclusively interested. Butthe extraordioary conjuncture ot the domestie and exterior perils of Mexico at this crisis makes this proposed line of steamers an element of diplomacy of the highest moment to the civilized world. Spain threatens a hostile naval descent upon Vera Cruz. This line ot steamers between that city and New Orleans will not only furnish the Mexicans the necessary men and munitions for a successful defence, but will afford to our Cuban filibusters the facitities, hould the occasion serve, for a hostile naval descent from the Mexican coast upon the island of Cuba, under cover of the Mexican flag, and under all the securities of a regular war. We have no doubt that upon a venture like this twenty thousand fighting men, superior to those of Walker, could be concentrated from the United States at Vera Cruz within less than sixty days. There isa peculiar force given to this con struction of this branch of the treaty, from the promptitude of our administration ia the matter A convention of this sort would ordinarily occu py our Cabinet from six to twelve months, Ba’ here, amidst a)] the numerous aud various pres+ ing demands incident to the orgac fon of a new executive government, we have this impor- tant treaty with Mexico considered and arranged within a few weeks from the reception of Mr. Forsy th’s despatches, and upon an entirely diffe rent basis. Iu connection with this circamstanc the Ostend manifesto of Mr. Buchanan, and the forty years intense Anglo phobia of Gen. Cas, loom up in bold relief. But whatever may be the views and ulterior estimates of our Cal we are assured that some of our leading Cuvau filibustere at Washington have entered into « correspondence with others at different points, ia view of an early organization fora new Cubay expedition via Vera Cruz, and under the pro tecting cover of this anticipated war between Spain and Mexico. We presume that the baffied clergy of Mexico and the Holy Conclave at Rome, acting upon the hereditary Catholicity of Spain, have forced her into thie position of hostility to the audacious heresies of the government ot General Comonfort We suspect that should war follow, it will be mo.e a war of the Church of Rome for the re- covery of her lost temporal ground in Mex.co, than a war of Spain in behalf of her trumped-up claims agaicst the Mexican State or treasury. Should the developement of the future establisn these impressions, is it likely that Protestant England will interpore or make any further sa- crifices in bebalf of a government overwhelmed already in obligations and debts to the English government and people, which it ha» never mani- fested any disposition to pay, or which, with the best inclinations im the world, it never can pay wihout the sacrifice of Cuba? It were reasonable to conclude that in such a war the sympathies of England would be rather with Mexico and her allies, flibusters inclusive, than against them The Catholic sympathies of Louis Napoleon, oa the other hand, would be with Catholic Spain; but the very probable disturbance of the security of France from the financial disasters which would fall upon her people from even the antici- pation of a rupture with the United States, will, im any emergency, have their full weight in the Cabinet councils of the Emperor. To sum up, the provisions of this new Mexican treaty and the extraordinary despatch exhibited in the matter at Washington, comprehend, we be- lieve, all the porsible contingencies to Mexico, to Spain and to Cuba that we have indicated. They point to a solution of the Cuban problem as novel as it is feasible, and too fascinating to be declin. «d by Mexico, or by the filibusters, or by the principal signer of the Ostend manifesto. The only fear with our democracy—-and it is a fear— is the fear that Spain will back out. Let ber only pertevere ip her present resolution to punish ‘Mexico for her debts and her. heresies, and this new treaty and our anxious filibusters will soon sotto the Cuban question, _ The New Treaty upon Central American Affairs. ‘The amended Dallas-Clareodon treaty, in the cave of Mr, Alexander H. Evans, special messen- ger, will leave Boston to-morrow in the steam- ship America for England. Substantially, as amended, its provirions may be gathered from the Senate amendments, in the form of separate articles appended to the original treaty, as pub- lisbed in another part of this paper. We have every reason to believe that Mr. Bu- chanan feels the deepest interest in the accept- ance of the treaty thus modified, and that this fact will be privately communicated to the British government, together with all needful assurances of the good faith which has actuated our Senate and Cabinet in the modifications proposed. We alco incline to the opinion that the English Cabi- net, whether that of Palmerston or some new Premier of the opposition side, will accept the treaty as a satisfactory settlement of the Central American imbroglio. In this event, it will only require the form of a ratification by the Senate at Washington to become the supreme law of Central America, England and the United States, Nicaragua, Walker, Costa Rica, natives, filibus- ters and steamship Commodores, stock specula- tors, and all others concerned. Always regarding the Clayton-Bulwer oon- vention as an “entangling alliance” with Eng- land, we have heretofore urged the policy of cutting loose from it, and the policy of negotiat- ing with the Central American States upon our own and their own independent footing, as with other independent Powers. But as the high con- tracting parties to the original agreement have thought fit to adhere to something like the basis of a joint protectorate, we trust that the reason- able stipulations proposed by our government will be adopted by the other side without further chaffering over technical straws aad trifle. We hope so, from the desire to see an end of this bloody work between the Walker filibusters and the Costa Ricans and their native allies, and be- tween the clashing steamship and stockjobbers for the Nicaragua route. Let the treaty be rati fied, let the belligerents be driven off the Istn- mus, let us have peace, and let us have an open paseage, and in the hands of an honest company if such a thing can be found. A similar treaty applied to the Panama Ista mus would be perhaps another good movement in behalf of law and order. “Commerce is King.” His highways must not be obstructed; and while engaged in the work of opening them with England, why stop with the task but hai’ completed? Gop iw CauirorNia.—The falling off in the receipt of gold from California at this port, foo up, including the last arrival, over eighteen huo- dred thousand doilars short of amount received by seme time last year. At this rate we shali drop behind full nine millions in the course of the year, an amount about equal to the sum which we can hope to retain in the country, out of the whole arrival from California. In other words, assuming that the demand for specie ia Europe during the present year is equal to the demaxd in past years, we shall not retain one dollar of our import of gold from California, This much of the phenomenon as it affects us So far as California is concerned, it is not easy to get at the facts. According to the newspapers, there is no falling off in the product of the mines. We must therefore presume that the falling off ia our receipts must be accounted for by an ia- creased consumption of the metal in its native State. But it strikes us that the rate of cou- sumption which this theory supposes is rather fast for a young State like California. Making every allowance for ihe consumption of the Mint, and tor the fondness for jewelry pecaliar to some of the people of that State, nine millions a year is rather a large figure to use up among the handful of people in California. We are much inclined to fear that the press of that State object to telling us the truth about the mines, avd that they are not more prosperous than the other interests of the State seem to be. Epveation ty Caxapa.—The report of Mr Chanveau, Superintendent of Education ia Lower Canada, shows a wonderful progrevs in that som: what slow State. It appears that at the preseur moment more than half the boys and girls who are of an age to learn are in receipt of « regular education from competent teachers. The proportion would be much larger but for th sparseness of population in Lower Canada, the length of the winters, and the nevessary dificulties of locomotion in such a climate. As it is, the figures show a gratifying advancement sinc the department paseed into the hands of ite pre- sept incumbent. Upper Canada is in advance of the Eastern province, as wae to be expected from the homo geneous character of its people, the superio. deneity of settlement, and generally the greate analogies between it and the great States of th West. It nearly rivals New England and York in the greatest of the elemente of civ tion— sound educational institutions There are but few States in the Union whieo can now afford to look down upon these pro: vincer—which, a few years since, afforded so littl satisfaction to the statesman and so little hope tu the «conomist.

It was rumored in the musical circles a few days ago that we were to have another ope- ratic war, after the fashion of the quarrel between Max Maretzek and some of his artists several years since, when one party held out at Astor place against the other at Niblo’s Gardex. It is now stated that there has been a compromise be- tween the high contending parties—Maretzek and Paine on one side, and Strakosch on the othe! Consequently Maretzek and Paine commence their season at Niblo’s Garden on Monday fort? night, while Strakosch retires from the field, aft & eight weeks at the Academy, which resulted in a clear profit, over all expenses, of about two thousand dollars, which is doing better than any of his illustrious predecessors, The forthcoming season at Niblo’s Garden will undoubtedly be an interesting one. The mana- gers—W. H. Paine and Max Maretzek—have had considerable experience in operatic management, and have sunk a good deal of money in getting it. Mr. Maretzek enjoys a large share of popu- larity with the public; and as he has declared that he will never again attempt a display of his oratorical abilities, he will undoubtedly retain his hold upon the esteem of the patrons of the Opera. At the same time, if he desires to make his season a profifable one in pecuniary point of view, he will do well to profit not only by hit own past experience, but by the excellent exam- ple of Strakosch, who was the first to see that enough money was taken to support the Opera, but that a great deal was frittered away in useless expenses. He resolved to save that money, and he adhered to his resolution in the face of a tremendous avalanche of personal! abuse. Mr. Strakosch retrenched in various ways; but his coup d’éat against the small jour- nals has attracted the largest share of public attention. Several of the managers—and among them Mr. Maretzek—had been of the opinion that a great deal uf money was thrown away in advertising the Opera in half starved journals like the Express. Mr. Strakosch, however, was the first who had sufficient spirit to cut off ali these Bohemians and to confine his advertise- ments to the leading daily journals. Every one remembers that the Express brigands and others wailed, gnashed their teeth, and got up o tremendous howl against the impresario But he stood it like one of Fox’ Martyrs, and even became highly amused at it. What was the result? In spite of the drawback of villanous weather generally, and the loss of two or three good nights by particularly severe storms, he was more successful than any mana- ger who has preceded him at the same house. For obvious reasons—the motives being appa- rent—the attacks of the small journals absolute- ly put money in his pocket, by creating an excitement which no amount of advertising could have brought about. The regular an- nouncements were duly placed before the publig in the leading journals, while the others howled for the benefit of the manager whom they hoped to destroy. The course of Messrs. Maretzek and Paine has thus been plainly marked out for them by the example of Strakosch. The oyster house criticisms of the Sunday papers and piratical dailies have long since beev properly rated by the intelligent portion of the community. Their views upon art are dictatea by the soul inspiring motives of five dollars for an advertisement, or twenty-five cents per line for editorial notices, They can only be useful by being retained to make an occasional excite- ment about the Opera by attacks upon a mana- ger who has independence enough to defy them. That is their proper vocation. La a common sense business poiat of view, it is of course absurd to attack a man because he will not buy what you have to cel), simply because he thinks it is of no use to him, but these brigand journals know nothing of business, and common sense isa com- modity in which they do not deal. Mr. Strakosch is entitled to the thanks not only ofevery director of public amusements, bat of every business man, for his spirit and courage, If be had failed, the system of robbery attempted upon him would have been carried out against every trader who saw fit to spend his money a« he pleased, and to conduct his business according to his own ideas, He has, however, succeeded, and we have no doubt that his example will bv widely followed, and particularly by Messrs. Mazetzek and Paine. They may expect to be at- tacked by the emall papers; but they may de pend upen it that those assaults will be muco more valuable than the sweetest of oyster house puff, and at the same time they will save tne amount of money that they have heretofor: thrown away. If the brigands are cut off frow the advertising, obliged to pay at the door, and their existence altogether ignored, they will get up a bowl, compared to which the assaults upon Strakoech were as the dulcet straine of the new prima donna.

Wasnunctos, Maroh 33, 1867. For two hours previous to the meeting of the Cabinet this morning the President was overran by the friends of the various candidates fer office from Now York. The fight has been a desperate one. At ten o’clock, the hour for the Cabinet meeting, they all departed from the White ‘House, and then commenced specul .tions and rumors of every description. Aboutevery hour some one would come in at Wiliard’s, direct from the Waite House, and inform the crowd that Judge Parker, of Albany, had been appointed Collector ; then another that Schell was the lucky man; and still another that Butterworth was the ‘man. So that the most intense excitement was kept up until the Cabinet adjourned, at feur o’clook, after a scesion of ix hours. Then was dissipated all the stories of the last five hours. ‘The Cabinet aid have the New Yerk sppointments un- der discussion, and, they allege, without coming to any dete: mination, Governor Geary bad an interview of an hour with the Cabinet this afternoon.

Nothing definite is known as to the decision arrived at. It is expected, however, that the ‘appointments will be announced to morrow. EGov. Geary having notified the President of his arrival tm Washington, be was invited to call at the White Houso this afternoon, which he did, and was there introduced by the President to the Cabinet, amd had with thems Jong conversation on the general affairs of Kansas. Ite said the President contempiates making his sum- mer residence at Georgetown, to avoid the sickness with whioh former inmates of the White House have been afflicted during that season of the year. Dr. Bernbeisel, delegate from Utah, denies the truth of the disoreditable statements concerning that Territory He says they emanate from enemies, who have been striving to ferment difficulties between the Mormons and the gereral government. ‘Mr, Gorman resigned and was not removed trom the Governorship of Minnesota.
