Our British Critics. It is an old story that our friends across the water know less of this country and its inhabi- tants than we do of the interior of China. The English laugh heartily at the blunders which the French make in writing of them, on the strength of a couple of weeks residerce in Leicester square; but no French caricature of an English milor, in great coat and cape, with top boots, anda perpetual craving for bifteck Oporto, and porterre, is so truly laughable as many of the se- rious articles which appear in the English journals about the United States. An American school boy would be diagraced were he half ag ignorant of any European country as these Bri- tish newspaper writers appear tobe of the na- tion with which they are most closely connected, and whose language and general political theo ties are derived from their own. We have before us a bundle of newspapers published in London, England, and containing articles on the late municipal imbroglio in this. city. The London Morning Chronicle,a neespa- per near a century old, and the organ of the French Emperor in London, informs its readers that New York is in a state of revolution.’ The revolution began by “street barricades, composed of mud instead of paving stonce;” this took place “ early in the byegone spring,” and “was ove of the most serious coups d'etat which the United States have undergone since the war of Independence,” After this terrible allu- sion to the playful dirt monuments which were raised to the Street Commissioner, the writer goes on to say that “New ‘York has a Mayor of highly democratic predilections, who canvassed zealously on the Fremont ticket.”’ This littlecon- fusion of ideas is further developed by the aa- | nouncement that “the mejority of the citizens of New York belong to the same party, and viewed with complacency the strong measures adepted by the Mayor to defeat the Buchananites.” The lat- ter, “treated with disdain by the Mayor,” fell back for refuge to the Legislature of the State, in which “Mr. Buchanan's friends hold a large pre- ponderance.” Here, a new confusion enters into our critic’s mind. The Governor, “being a re- pnblican,”’ selected oyly ‘republican Commis- ® afd they only “ stauachly republican pelicemen.” On the death of the Strect Com. lesioggt..aarepubliowa named Conover was “elected,” but was “repudiated by the demo- crats;’’ and in consequence the streets were left uncleaned; but “ the sturdy democrats trudged Jess the administration will order an investigation wf the charges. ’ | Oar correspondent at St. Paul, writing on the 20th insg., states that there is not the slightest chance of | the republicans and democrats agreeing to meet in Convention for the formation af a State con@itution. Both parties will frame constitutions, and the peo- pie will pass upon their merits. when the question of | their ratification comes ap. The funeral of officer Anderson, who was shot by the burglar Cancemi, took place yesterday after- moon. There was an immense turnout of police- men, firemen and citizens. The streets were througed with spectators of all ages and conditions. “We give | full account of the funeral services and procession eleewhere, togetber with a biographical sketch of the Ceceaged. We have news from Nassau, New Providence, to Qhe 14th inst. Our correspondent writes that co- pious showers of rain bad fallen lately, producing a fine effect upon the growing crops. Wrecks on uc Bahama Keys were frequent. A cargo of live cattle from Key West and another from San No- mingo bad arrived and were very acceptable. Three vessels arrived yesterday from infected ports and were sent to the lower Quarantine an- chorage, viz., the Hampden, from Jamaica; the R- (. Dyer, from Port-au-Prince, and the Nancy P-— ‘Hagen, from Havana. The first two named vessels Jost some of their crew of yellow fever daring their passage, but none of the crew of either vessel had the yellow fever on gheir arrival at this port. There is only one case of yellow fever at the Quarantine | Hospital. The brigs Fredonia and Koloa, from Gonaives, which bave been lying some time at the | lower Quarantine anchorage, were permitted on | Saturday to come to the upper Quarantine and dis- charge their cargoes.

As for the reconstruction of the old republic of Central America, we look upon it as a hope- less task. The experience of the first attempt is too bitter to warrant its renewal. Costa Rica, the leading Power of that series of petty*repub- lics, recogulzes the fact that her advance in wealth, population and intellectual developement dates from the breaking up of that abortive fede- ration, aud she will never consent to its re-estab- lishment. Already do we find ber endeavoring to give a moral tone to her present position, by seeking to gather a Congress of the Spanizh Ame- rican Statesin her capital. This, too, is a vain idea. When those States have all, with the ex- ception of Chili, demonstrated their incapacity individually in the art of governinent, it is not to le expected that they will do any better collec- tively. Indeed, they have demonstrated this fact, too. Colombia and Central America were con- federations, and now they are in fragments. The advance of the United States in popula- tion, and through this in « successful degluti- tion of all Spanish America, as the Hondu- ras writer supposes, is a thing mot to be | contemplated. The disorganised communities | that they now form, with their dissonant and hostile races, their want of justice amid abun- i dant law, their idleness and intestine commo tious, are not at all adapted to digestion and as- similation through the power of self-govern- ment, and we can never undertake it. What our | government bas got to adopt is a firm but mode- rate policy of intervention Tor the mafhtenance of | social order in those countries, and the safe tran- sit through them of our citizens and commerce, herewith those of every other nation. This licy can enly be carried out in its workings by | slow and moderate degrees, Its final attainment | aod ite ultimate form must be the growth of cumstances, perhaps spread through a whole gen- | eration. Nicara # the initial point, and now s the te it. Let our government therefore calmly consider the question of the Ni- time beg caragua Tra: route, resolve that it shall be opened to the safe transit of the world, and thea proceed to carry it out.

The London /ead=, an organ of the radicals, and a paper representing a very high grade of intellectual advancement, makes nearly as many blunders in an attempt to moralize on the Plug Ugly invasion of Washington, in conjunc- tion with the democratic troubles of New York. The intricate machinery of our city, State and federal jurisdictions, scems to be beyond the mas- tery of the British mind. Nor is our geography less of a puzzle. A sporting paper talks of a shooting excursion “to Baltimore and the prairies:” and a pompous daily informs its readers that a monument to Henry Clay has been erected at Lexington, the site of the first of the revolution- ary battles. As for the French, of course, they cannot be expected to understand this country, ignorant as they are of everything outside of their own; no one was eurprised to hear that a leading Pa- ritian journal had reprobated the bad taste which induced the Americans to ect up statues of Monsieur Daniel Webster, whose only claim to n a professional imbroglio. Ab! well, these foreigners will learn some day. We must make their ignorance of us as disgraceful as our ignorance of European affairs would be. Our faces are ever set thitherward— | very few of theirs ever cast a glance in our di- rection; they are part of our world, we form no | part of the world of their ignorant classes. There live many men of average education and common eenee in every country of Europe, who do not know whether we are white or red, and who are no better acquainted with the geogra phy of America than an average dry goods solesman with us is with that of Madagascar or Borneo; nor indeed, in a practical point of view, do they need to know more, This, however, is no exeuse for the leading minds which are sup posed to be engaged on the press: their igno. ravce is indeed utterly disgraceful to themselves and their profession, Ovn Co.cecrs.—We have already recorded the annual proceedings of the Harvard, Union, Hamil ton, St. Nevier, St. John and Columbia Colleges, and New York University; ard to-day we publish tome interesting preliminaries respecting the commencement exercises of various other educa tional institutes, The spread of knowledge is | one of the surest signs of our advancement, and | the best security for the propagation and per- | petuation of republican inetitutions. We have | to congratulate ourselves on the rapid increase throughout the country of colle qiate institutions, and the efforts made to ma them worthy of an age 9 prolific in social and rogeese. In 1800 we had fort three colleges; in 1840, ninety-five; and in 18: we heve one hundred and twenty seven. The in- create in the number of students has been in a corresponding ratio. The total annual college charges average from $59 to 80s; and board dur ing the ecssion of forty weeks amounts to from $57 to $120; so that for an average total of $140 an- every reason As an instance of the extraordinary progress in the library de- partment, we may mention that in 1830 the num- ber of ali the volumes in the different college libraries was 128,118, and that iu 1857 it exceeds | 550,000 volumes. The small charge of the an- nual payment, in comparison with the advantages to be derived, shows the superiority of our cdu- cational institutions over thor any other part of the world. In Europe, however generously " pow private individuals and governments been to promote an: foster education, 11 lurks in the colloge system an aristo aobbism which exercise tien a pernicious | iniluence To be sent to college is looked upon as a boon of the ‘favored few,” who, through their position, or being in favor with some great man, enjoy those intellectual advantages which here com, mon to us all. We have no petition beg- ging, nor protegé dependence, nor second table waiting, nor “ small beer” ‘listinction, nor mar- tlage restriction, nor any of that “ gown” ex clusion which is to be met with in the colleges The healthy influence which our institutions shadow forth is no republican where more apparent than in our collegiate eys tem. Industry, good behavior and talent ate sure of their reward, and every inducement con genial with intelectual pursuits is beld out to | continue to attract yearly more and more persons thoee who etruggle for academic distiaction. ‘What is the consequence? Look at the educa- tional strides of our countrymen. -In every de- partment of art and ecience, if not the foremost, they are among the most successful. No turn. pike being on the road to knowledge, the compe ition is healthy and produces re- sults which are everywhere manifest. In England the colleges are hampered by old fogy “restrictions and religious disqualifications, which create bickering and dissension, impede mental Progress, and are a reproach ton age 80 pro- gressive as this is in liberality of seatiment and intellectual developement. If there be anything which requires unrestricted freedom to developg its powers, it is the mind. In itself it is irrepres- sible, illimitable; and wherever it is attempted to fetter it by distinction or prejudice it loses its pristine vigor and becomes depressed and stuat- ed. Itis true genius has broken down such bar- Tiers, and even in Fagiand shown its giant might; but who can tell, through this eystem, how many a promising flower haa been blighted and “wasted its aweetness on the degert air?” The good example which our institutions have eet has no been lost on the European continent. Of late years there has been much improvement —the college system is placed more within the reach of the people—tany of the prejudices which have operated to their disadvantage have been removed, and we may look forward to the day when “palmam qui-meruit feral” will, as with us, be the only standard of intellectual prowess and national distinction. Detxyss at Fasmowapir Watering Paces. -We have published this season very few letters from the fashionable watering places of the country, in comparison to what we have publish- ed in former seasons. The Henan to-day, how- ever, contains letters from Saratoga, Bedford Springs, Nahant and Oyster Bay.’ At these re- sorts, as at all other fashionable watering places, there appears to be an unusual and remarkable absence of patronage. The universal complaint is that they are all comparatively descried—that there are no beaux, but few belles, and that, consequently, things look rather gloomy to the hotel proprictors. There are several causes co-operating to pro- duce this stagnation at the watering places. First and principally, the day of these” institutions is past. City residents have been gradually having their eyes opened to the folly of abandoning their roomy and comfortable domicils for misera- ble, dingy unfurnished apartments at Saratoga, Newport, or elsewhere, and submitting to all sorta of vexatious extortions and deprivation: of comfort. The proprietors of watering place ho- tels must turn a new leaf before that objection is removed. Then, again, this summer has been unusually backward, and up to the present time there has been really no reason why city families should remove to the country. The city has been the more desirable residence of the two; and as we are now approaching the first days of August, it is not likely that for the short season that re- mains there will be much of an accession to the country hotels. We are afraid, therefore, that their proprietors must make up their minds to dull times and small profits. Further, the revulsion that has taken place in the public mind on the subject of fashionable watering places has operated in two ways. It has induced one class of persons to seek quiet boarding places, or to hire cottages in desirable Jocations in the country, and has induced another class to make the European tour, which they find can be done with much more pleasure, vastly more profit to mind and body, and with little, if any more expense. The European steamers have takea this summer to the other side of the At- Jantic an unprecedentedly large number of tra- vellers; and we have no doubt that the report they will give of the pleasures of the travel will to imitate their example. Another cause, of very great importance, to be | taken into consideration when commenting on the dulness of affairs at the watering places, is the apprehension of an impending crisis in our gene- ral monetary affairs. This apprehension goes for more than would be suspected. Persons in busi- ness, however, know how very universal the feel- ing is, and how common it has bevome for people hitherto liberal in thejr expenditures to begin just now to economize. These various canses, co-ope- rating, have produced the remarkable duloes and stagnation in our fathionable watering places that is reported on all sides. Uran anp THe Monwons.—Our columns of this morning contain a very interesting compilation from the Great Salt Lake City papers of the latest date. It furnishes a capital glimpse of the state of affairs among the Latter Day Saints, and is a highly entertaining chapter of the history of | the day. | Serious charges of peculation and malfeasance | in office are made against an officer of the gene- ral goveroment ia the Tercitory, and are sub stantiated by affidavits, so far as they go. The Deseret Vews is in the habit of publishing | verbatim reports of the Sabbath orations of the elders cf the church. Some extracts that we | give from the reported orations of Brigham | Young, President Kimball, and other Mormon | luminaries, will prove to be very spicy and en- | tertaining, showing ae they do the estimate in which the Mormons hold the Gentiles, and par- | ticularly those representatives of the general | goveroment that have the misfortune to come in | contact wilh them. A more convincing proof of | the difficulty of the Mormon question could nol | be given, perhaps, than that which is supplied in the compilation from the Deseret Vers that we publich to-day.
