During the last six days of the passage the Vanderbilt ran through such a heavy fog that no observation could be taken on board. The Atlantic left Liverpool about eleven o'clock on the morning of the 8th instant’ avd arrived here #t six o'clock yesterday evening, with files of European papers dated from 4th to 7th July. Cotton had slightly advanced in the Liverpool market, which was animated and firm. Flour had declined, owing, no doubt, to the prospects of an ex cellent harvest in Europe. Sugar was again lower, end the demand both for that article and molasses ‘was entirely suspended in Liverpool on the 7th inst In the London money market consols ranged from 92] to 92}. The market was considerably dépressed in consequemee of the announcement of the defeat of the government candidates at the elections in the city of Paris. This event is, in fact, the great feature of the news. The recond series of elections, which included a contest in the third, fourth, and seventh districts of Parie, commenced on Sunday morning July 5th, and terminated next day in the return of General Ca- | vaignac, and MM. Darimon and Olivier, in opposi- tion to MM. Thibaut, Lanquetin and Varen, the nominees of Napoleon. It is evident from the tone | of the Lendon press that the triumph of the repub- licans is regarded as a very serious matter with re. wpect to the position and future prospects of the | Emperor. His Imperial Msjesty was preparing for | @ vistt to England. Ccunt de Morny had been named President of the Legislative body of France. The English Parliament was still engaged in the cone deration of the new proposition for re-opening the 4 frican slave trade, and the Palmerston cabinet bad almost acknowledged that it would be impossi- ble, order the plan of the “free labor” supply, to avoid the horrors of the barbarous original traffic. How: ver, it would likcly be tried, although the fa- mous Nepoleon contract with the MM. Regis had been officially condemned by the Colonial Council of the, importan: sugar producing colony of Marti- nique. Members objected to the principle of the movement in fofo, and none with more vehemence than an honorable gentleman of African descent. 48 the Emperor's contract was, however, perfected, eight bundred negroes (instead of thousands) would be taken by the colonists on trial. ‘The revolution on the Italian frontier was ended, bel the States still remained very unquiet. It was said that the movement was aimed chiefly against the King of Naplesand the Pope. In the Turin Chamber of Deputies it was proclaimed that Maxzzi- ni and an English lady were the chief instigators of the revolt. The lady had been bamished. By way of England we have news from South America. The dates are—Rio Janeiro 4th, Bahia 10th and Pernambuco 12th ult. The general health of the Brazilian ports was good, save a few cases of yellow fever at Rio and Babia. Coffee was ad wancing in price at Rio. Two American ships of war were at that port, but their names are not men- tioned in the English reports. Doubtless they were the frigate St. Lawrence and storeship Supply, as these vewels were at Rio at previous dates. At Bahia stocks of sugar were mostly in second hands, and it will consequently be difficult to purchase even at a considerale advance in price. The season was drawing to a close, and further supplies of any im- portance cannot be expected. In cotton no sales had been effected, and prices nominal. Ram con tipues firm. At Pernambuco the arrivals of sugar begen to fail off, and prices were high. There was no alteration to note in prices of cotton. At Singapore, on the 18th of May last, gold dust rated at—Malayan, 27) 6 25, and Australian, 30 a 20), per benkal. We have later advices from the West Coast of Africa. The dates are—Fernando Io, let; Bonny, 5 Cape Coast, 12th; Monrovia, 16th; Sierre Leone, 20th ; Batharst, 23d, and Goree, 24th ult. ‘There bad been several cases of dysentery at Cape Coast, but beyond this the coast was generally heaithy. Trade was in a flourishing condition, and the colony generally peaceful. The British mail packet Niger bad been totally wrecked on the coast. One thousand three hundred and forty-nine ounces of gold dost bad been shipped for England in the steamer Candace. Ineurrectionary movements, beries were very frequent in the south of Spain, and reporta were current in Madrid with respect to a re. volt among the artillerymen at Malaga. The mai! bth between Seville and Madrid had been stopped vy a | large body of armed men. Advices from Constantinople state that a Rusaiin steamehip flying the British flag had entered the Circassian ports of Ghelenjik and Soudjac Kaloh, and seized the merchandise found in several ves eels. It was expected that the silk crop of Barope would be very deficient. The drain of silver tu the Bast etil continued. The late ricte in New York are dwelt on at length by # portion of the British press, and furnish the writers with arguments for a sneer at American politica and republican institutions in general. The work of shipping the sub-marine telegraph cable was going briskly forward on board the Niag and the Agamemnon.

The American bark Albertina had been placed under ceizure because some of her men ‘were accused of having killed a Spanish sailor. The Jellow fever had broken out in the Spanish squadron lately arrived f:om Spain, but the disease was said to be of a mild character. Advices received at Ha- vane from Spain states that permission would be given by the home government to lay down a sub maripe telegraph between Havana and Key West, ‘There was no change in the sugar market. Colonel Blythe, the American Consul, was to leave on the 22d, on a short visit home, We have news from Honduras to the Ist ult. Our correspondent states that the authorities have changed the name of the town of Puerto Caballos to that of Cortez, in order that it may not be con: founded with Puerto Cabello, in Venezuela. The treaty with Great Britain guarantying the railroad has been ratified, while the eonvention retroceding the Bay Islands to Honduras and terminating the Mosquito Protectorate was still in the hands of the Legislative committees. The Legislature was to meet in extra session in a few days, and it was regard ed ag very probable that both the propositions would be accepted. The agents of Guatemala and Costa Rica were, however, laboring actively to prevent such a result, and the aid of the church, even, had been invoked to sustain their opposition. The down- fall of General Walker bad been received with en- thusiaam. Our correspondent is of opinion that the local jealousies in Central America will soon break out afresh. The railroad engineers hed finished their survey of the port of Cortez, and the first sec- tion of twenty miles of the proposed road. Every- thing connected with the enterprise was prospering finely. The party had evjoyed uninterrupted good health. Elsewhere we publish details of news from Mexico to the 7th inst. The quarrels between the govern- ment and the church, the preparations for the threatened war with Spain, the local elections, the insurrection in Queretaro, are the principal topics discussed in the newspapers. Ramors were rife of another filipuster invasion of Sonora to avenge the massacre of Crabbe and his associates. A fearful accident occurred at the Hoboken ferry, on the New Jersey side, last evening about 8} o'clock. As one of the ferry boats was coming into the slip the bridge gave way, immersing over fifty persons. Fortunately the engine of the boat was being reversed at the time, anda heavy surf being thrown towards the eunken bridge, the pas- sengers, with the exception of one poor woman, were all washed up out of danger. Several persons were stverely wounded, while others lost their watohes, purses, and hats and other articles of cloth- ing. The name of the woman who was drowned is Bridget Rielly. men—were drowned. ‘The usual quiet reigned throughout the city yes- terday. The Sixth and Seventeenth wards were unusually peacefal for the Sabbath. Towards even ing the sidewalks were covered with promenaders and persons sitting on them to take tne evening air. Many of the places where liquors are sold were closed during the day and evening. The Five Points poured out from their seething dens multitudes of persons of all ages, nations, and degrees of filthiness, who laid, sat and walked on the sidewalks till late at night, preferring rather"to breathe in the tainted and pestilential air of that region than to be longer cooped up in their hot and still dirtier habitations; but there was no attempt at any disturbance among them. Fire Marsha! Baker yesterday, it seems, concluded the evidence in the Sixteenth street arson case, pending against a man named Patrick Nally, 269 Sixteenth street, on Friday night last. We give | the substance of the evidence in the case in another column. It seems to indicate the guilt of the pri- | soner almost conclusively. Justice Flandreau com- | mit‘ed the accused to prison for trial, refusing to admit to bail. The value of foreign goods imported at the port of Boston during the week ending 18th inst. amounted to $930,704. The value of the imports for the cor- responding week in 1856 was $1,083,679. ‘Lue annexed table shows the temperature of the atmosphere im this city during the past week, the range of the barometer, the variation of wind, the | carrents, and the state of the weather, at three pe- Se on aie at 9 A.

So far as revolution is concerned, it is not safe to expect one during the lifetime of Louis Napo- leon. He has the energy to repress anything of the kind; and the late improvements which he bas effected inthe city of Paris have vastly in- creased the difficulty of insurrectionary move ments there, But the bare agitation of the prin- ciples of democracy isa peril which he will not care to affront.

The Street Commiesionership ques- tion has become eo entangled that it is almost impossible to say how the matter stands, or which side the issue is eventually to favor. The proceedings in the courts on Saturday, in reference to this subject, were of an extraordinary character. Judge Peabody, it will be recol- lected, had, some ten days ago, decided, on an application of Mr. Conover, the Governor's appointee, to compel Mr. Devlin, the Mayor’s appointee, to deliver up the books of the Street Commiesioner’s offiee—that the first named gen- tleman was the legal incumbent of the office, and that Deviin wes a treepasser. In other words, he decided that, in spite of the provisions of the new charter, the power of appointment lay in the Governor, not in the Mayor. Notwithetandiag this decision, Devlin continued to hold the office and retain the books, which necessitated the mak- ing of a supplementary application to the Judge for warrants, first to arrest Devlin, and second to search for the books, maps and documents of the office. This application was interrupted by the iseue of a writ of certiorari by Judge Davies, the necessary legal effect of which was to stay all further proceedings in the matter on the part of his associate Judge. It would seem, unac- countable as it may appear, that Judge Davies ‘was not aware of the inevitable effect of his writ of certiorari, and did not intend that it should stay proceedings; and, on being applicd to, he gave a sort of judicial certificate to that effect; just as he originally granted an injunction to re- strain the new Police Commissioners from taking apy action, and then modified his injunction, first, by allowing them to organize, and second, by limiting the restraint merely to the city and county. But Judge Peabody paid no attention to this certificate in the nature of a qualification of a writ. The writ itself had a certain character and force inseparable from it, and that was, to cause a suspension of all proceedings in the mat- ter. And so the warrants applied for were refused. In this state of the case application was again made to Judge Davies to annul his own writ of certiorari; and although the facts and circum- stances on which it was originally issued were unchanged in the slightest degree, the application was granted and the writ of certiorari quashed. This action removed the impediment to the issue of the warrants applied for, and accordingly they were immediately signed and placed in thg hands of officers for execution. So much for con- tradictions and inconsistencies on the part of one of the Judges! But, in anticipation of this course, another legal proceeding had been instituted to protect the property and rights of the city in the books and office of the Street Commissioner. An appli- cation had been made to Judge In- gtabam, in the Court of Common Picas, on the part of the Mayor and Commonalty of the city, for an injunction to restrain Conover from removing or causing to be removed the books, maps, records, documents, and other property aud papers belonging to the office. This injunction was granted and served on the officer who had charge of the execution of the warrant. He ne- vertheless persisted in bringing an instalment of the books and papers into the court where Judge Peabody presided, but at that stage further ac- tion was suspended under the warrant. Io the meantime Mr. Devlin had been arrested and lodged in Eldridge street jail, where he still remains; and his deputy, Mr. Tarner, had been ejected trom his post. It is by no means unlikely that Mr. Conover will be sent to keep his rival company in Eldridge street, as Judge Ingraham may and ought to commit him for contempt in disobeying the injunction, It is to this precious muddle that the manage- | ment of the Street Commissioner’s Department— one of the moet responsible and important in the city goveroment—is reduced. It is al! chaos and | confusion, and chiphing of authority; and of course all this time the grave interests af the city, as connected with that department are neglected aid sacrificed. The new charter itself—the work of a partisan Legislature—recognizes the right of the Mayor and Aldermen to appoint all heads of depart- ments, s0 that the present state of affairs in the Street Commissionership matter is not even at- tributable to an uoconconstitional law. as is the | case in respect to the police. The ground on | which the Governor assumed the appointment | to this office is the merest, flimsiest and most shadowy piece of special pleading that was ever employed to give color to usurpation. It is | briefly this—that thongh admittedly the power of appointment of heads of departments is vested | in the Mayor and Board of Aldermen by the new charter, yet it was specially provided that the then Street Commissioner, Mr. Taylor, should be allowed to complete his term of office; and that becanse bis tenure closed not by lapse of time | but by death, the power of appoiatment is not | yee operative in the Mayor and Aldermen. | Could a more shallow and illogicl argument be | made? Common tense rejects the sophistry; aad yet the law, through one of ite administrators, Judge Peabody, accepts it. It is in such manner as this that our muni- cipal rights are trampled on and scorned. The interests of the city are daily and bour- ly sacrificed to » partisan spirit. The pro- perty of the city—the archives of a municipal oftice—is seized. Public and personal rights are | disregarded. The city is given up to lawlessness and anarchy. The members of the now police | are disorderly and riotous, and by their gross and violent behavior provoke collisions, disturb the peace, and produce riots in which lives are sacrificed. There is Wut little protection now for life or property in this city. We are at the mercy of every loafer that hang: about the streets, and of every rowdy or paltroon that has been decorated with the badge of “Metro politan police.” Never before since the days of the American Revolution has this city been in such acondition of anarchy as it now is. We hope and trust that this deplorable state of things will prove a salutary lesson to the citizens of the me tropolis and of the State at large, teaching them the danger of electing partisan, ignorant and cor- rupt legislators and officers. The evil is but tem- porary. It must be remedied at the ballot box. * Remember that. Archbishop Hughes and the Ultramontanes. An obscure city journal has given currency to a rumor that the See at present filled by the Rev. Archbishop Hughes is shortly to be divided, or that a coadjutor to that official is to bs appointed to divide with him the duties of his office. For come time past, whispers to the same effect have been uttered in various quarters; it has even been hinted that it might not be altogether unreasona- ble to expect to hear that the venerable Arch- biehop had been euperseded by a new prelate appointed at Rome. It is surmised that certain of the New York clergy now in Rome may have a scheme of the kind in hand. ‘That the recent course of Archbishop Hughes may have given dissatisfaction to the extreme members of the ultramontane party in the church, is quite possible. There are in the Papal charch several men who have eo thoroughly severed the ties that bound them to the world that they know no more of what is going on around them than they would if they were denizens of another planet. These persons, imbued witha very head- etrong zeal, are bent on restoring in the church ‘all the rites, ceremonies, forms, usages and doc- trines which flourished during the middle ages, but which increasing civilization and the progress of general intelligence long since dismissed and rendered obsolete. It was for these persons that the Pope went out of his way to determine the long agitated but immaterial question respecting the Immaculate Conception; and it is they who, in the columns of the Paris Univers, are so etrenuously endeavoring to conciliate, for the church of which they are members, the contempt, and the dislike, and the dread of all enlightened minds. Their mission, in a word, is to efface the teachings of the last three or four centuries, and to re-plant us all in the middle of the dark ages—with no better light for our guidance than the Inquisition, and the oid monkish ceremonies and the forms and proces- sions and other grand shows which, at that pe- riod, were the only—and perhaps a very honest— outward and visible sign of an inward and pirit- ual faith. These reformers—for we suppose they claim this title—having achieved marked triumphs at Rome, Paris, and Vienna, have desired to ex- tend the sphere of their novelties to this country elso. They have attempted to coerce Archbishop Hughes into accepting their views, and adminis- tering his See in accordance with their new lights ‘Thus they would have been pleased to see the promulgation of the bull on the Immaculate Conception commemorated hy grand pro. cessions up and down Broadway, through groves of trees planted for the pur- pose, and past stores closed inorder to cele- brate the occasion with due magnificence and re- spect. They would have liked to have witnessed the merciless punishment of the turbulent crowds which insulted Bedini, and they expected that at least one or two of the newspapers which criti cised his proceedings might have been suppressed. They think generally that Roman Catholicism might have been pushed with more zeal in this community, and that the vitality of the old thatch mnight have been demonstrated from time to time with some pomp and éclat. These views have not been wholly shared by Archbishop Hughes; who, however he may com pare with the ultramontanes in point of ecclesi- astical fervor, had a decided advantage ovér them in being a man of the world and a man of common eense. It is easy to understand that the Archbishop would not readily concur in echemes for an armed assault on the Know Nothings who hooted Bedini, or even for the obstraction of Broadway by a procession of friars and incense bearers in honor of the Immaculate Conception His Grace has his faults, no doubt; but he kaows this country and this community; he knows how inflammable the Protestants are; and he knows what would be the effect of the violent movements or revivals by which the ultra- | montanes purpose to well the circle of adherents to the Roman Catholic faith, Hence, he may not have administered his office to their entire satisfaction; may have thrown cold water on their ardor ; and may have driven them, in spiteful disappointment, to seek revenge and a coadjutor at Rome. The ultramontanes comprise no mean portion of the Roman Catholic clergy in this country. The bulk of the foreign Jesuits and other priests who have charge of the various scholastic instt- tutions scattered thronghowt the several States belong to this wing of the church, as might be expected from their calling and their isolation from the world. Many of these institutions are wealthy and prosperous ; #0 Influential. too es to command a ready hearing at Rome. The idea of superseding Archbishop Hughes or curtailing his authority comes from them; any person of com- mon sense can predict the result, if their echemes should be crowned with success.
