Stephens, which left San Francisco on the 30th July, and $1,246,805 in treasur’. (he news trom Californie is not very im ortant, the principal item Of political intelligence being the nomination of the Hon. John B. Weller for Governor by the Demo. cratic Convention. The steamer Golden Age, with the mails and passengers from this city, had sailed from Manzanillo on the 26th for San Francisco: ‘The United States ships Independence ana John Adams were lying off Panama. One hundred men of the crew of the Independence, whose time had expired, returned on the Central America. All was quiet in Nicaragua. The Senate had given ita adhesion to the Transit contract and treaty proposed by President Mora on behalf of Costa Rica. Two hundsed and fifty of Walker's men were in Greytown in a cestitate condition, having come from Costa Rica. Gen. Canas visited Greytown on ‘the 18th July, anc was received with all the honors by the United Svates sloop Saratoga. A force of two hundred Costa Ricans occupy Greytown. Mr. Carey Jones was at San Jose on the 26th Jaly. His mission to Costa Rica proves of a most friendly cha- racter. Our dates from Panama are to the 4th instant. ‘The Congress of New Granada passed a law or the 26th of Juve, for the regulation of affairs in Pana- ma, which had proved very distasteful to the people of that State. It puts ali national affairs in Pana- ma under the charge of a Special Administrator, | with suitable assistants, and its special objects are the seourity and protection of the foreigners, taking care of the national rents, properties, and rights | existing in the State of Panama, and to defend the | territory against the invasion of filivusters, tc. The | press universa\ly coudemu the law, and there was | geome talk of seceding and forming a new govern- ment. The papers represent the condition of af- fairs on the Isthmus as most deplorable. The news from Costa Rica is of an interesting cberacter. A correspondent at San Jose informs us that the right of way of the Nicaragua Transit route bad been given to R.C. Webster and J. C. Harris. Atreaty had been entered into between Chile and Costa Rica for mutual assistance against invasion. President Mora was asid to be very popu- lar, and the country was assuming an aspect of peace and prosperity. From Peru we learn that the treaty entered into by France and England with Pera guaranteeing the sovereignty of the guano islands to the latter, was ratified on the 6th of June. Vivanco and Castillo | had bad a battle near Arequipa, and both claimed the victory. Guano freights far American ships were very low—some vessels had been taken up at 215 per ton. At Callao an attempt at revolution had been made among the troops. We have received files of Kingston, Ja., papers to the 29th alt, but they are devoid of news. ‘The markets were inactive, and overstocked with fish. Old fish were completely neglected in conse- quence of the arrival of two cargoes of new, and were selling at very low rates. The supply of ground provisions was good, which had decreased the demand for meal. We bave news from Buenos Ayres dated on the 6th of June. Robberies were frequent in and around the capital. Many Indians were included im the bands of plunderers. The rural police system was being reorganized. The English, Freach and American gold coins, sovereigns, nspoleons and ea- gies, were recognized as current money by order. Aspiagu, Hoevel & Co. had obtained a privilege for the navigation of the river Salado through its entire course by steam vessels. The grant to exist, under certain restrictions, for ten years. Sailing vea sels are not to be excluded from the river. The Quarantine system was condemned. The home mar- ket had improved. Sugars were high. There was an Over stock of American flour. Export produce ‘was in good demand with the exception of tallow and jerked beef. The bark Express, Captain Boss, which sailed from Hevana on the 2d of August, arrived at this port yesterday forenoon, with advices to her day of departure. The news is eeven days later. The Ex- press is the first sailing vessel which has brough! news trom Cuba in anticipation of the regular steam- ers during the past three years. No steamship would leave Havana for New York previous to the Sth of August. The immense joint stock banks bubble, which has lately floated so injuriously over the be#t interests of the island, had experienced a severe shock—a partial explosion bad in fact taken place, and from a very simple cause. A rich banker was indebted to & peor house painter in the sum of one thousand dollars for work. Payment was postponed ‘8 good many times, and the debtor then summoned before an alcalde. The alcalde was at the head of rival bank, and his citations (three summonses being imsued) were not noticed by the defendant. The latter was eventually fined five dollars for contempt» and replied by drawing on the alcalde’s bank —Cuja Comerdial—for fifteen thousand dollars. The draft was not paid, and the fact having been reported abroad, the people got alarmed, when a general run on ali the eity banks ensued. A panic took place, and ebares of every description became unsaleable in ® moment, showing the ansubstantial basis on | which the recent moneyed superstructure has been raised. Money was worth ten or twelve per cent Sugar still ruled high, but a speedy fall in prices was looked for. Four or five cargoes of Bozales negroes had been landed, and a number of vessels bad sailed for the African coast. The health of Havana wa‘ good, and the weather pleasingly warm. The account of the race for the Goodwood Cup, given in the Liverpool papers, is very unsatis- factory—the time in which the race was ran not a ‘ing given in any of them. The French horse M, *Sarque, of the same age, and carrying the same we sht as Pryor, came in first, Riseberg second, Fish man third, Anton fourth, Pryor and Prioress fifth "4 sixth.

It was voted down, but was to have been again brought up. A band of Chippewas were plundering the settlers. Four of the band of Ink. pa-da-tah had been shot and acalped by Little Crow and his band of warriors. The Ohio Republican State Convention yesterday renominated the Hon. Salmon P. Chase for Gover nor by acclamation, and Moses B. Walker for Lieu tenant Governor. The other State nominations were also made. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of the Seventeenth ward, both English and German, was held last evening at Tompkins square, for the purpose of expressing their opposition to the ob, noxious laws passed by the late Legislature. The proceedings were of a most interesting character, as will be seen by our report in another column. The Committee on Finance of the Board of Coun- cilmen met yesterday afternoon in room No. 8, City Hall, in relation to the judgment of $196,000 held by Robert W. Lowber, Esq., against the city on a contract for the purchase of some property in Janu- uary last by the city authorities on the East river, as a site fora public market. Lengthy explana- tions were made by Mr. Lowber and Counsel to the Corporation, Richard Busteed, Esq., during which a complete history of the whole transaction from the beginning to the present time was given. We givs a sketch of the proceedings in another column. Tke oil painting of Jacob Hays, formerly re- nowned as the great thief-taker of New York, was sold at public auction by Constable Reed, at No. 12 Greenwich avenue, yesterday, to satisfy two judg- ments against the city amounting in all to a little over $200. It was struck off for $250 to Ald. Blunt, he being the only bidder. A long debate was held in the Board of Council- men last evening in reference to concurring with the Aldermen in compelling the proprietors of the Twenty-third street ferry to run their boats to Greenpoint as often as the Tenth street company: The motion was lost for want of a constitu. tional vote. A motion to concur with the ‘other | Board in appropriating $50,000 for Central Park improvements was also tabled for want of the requisite vote. The Finance Committee re- | ported that there was no other alternative | for the city but to pay the amount of Robert W. | Lowber’s judgment, and thus prevent the proposed seizure of the city property. Immediately after the adjournment of the Board, Mr. Ottarson affirmed, in the nearing of Mr. Lowber, who was present, that he swindled the city, which that gentleman denied, and committed an assault upon Mr. Ottarson by knocking him down. The belligerents were promptly separated, and there the quarrel probably ended, The Board adjourned to meet on the first Monday in September. ‘The Commissioners of Emigration held an inte | Testing meeting yesterday. The Special Committee | appointed to examine and report upon the fitness of | the hospital at Seguine’s Point for a temporary Quarantine, unanimously reported the building un suitable, and the Board, at their suggestion, de- clined taking charge of it until proper accommoda- tions were afforded. The report of the Committee is quite strong, and will no doubt provoke a re- | oinder from the Quarantine Commissioners. An | interesting report was read by Mr. Garrigue, relative | to the emigrant laws and their effects upon the ' passenger traffic between New York and Havre. The emigation this year has been 117 151, against 82,038 for the same period last year. His Honor Judge Daly yesterday dismissed the writ of certiorari asking for a review of the pro | proceedings betore Justice Davison in the case of | the production, by Mrs. Cunningham, of a false heir. | He decided that the offence was sufficiently proven to justify the police magistrate in committing her. He refused to interfere with the Justice's decision as to bail, on the ground that it was a matter of dis | cretion with which it would be improper for ano- ther magistrate to meddle. It was said last night that the fictitious heir of Dr. Burdell and its real mother, Mra. Anderson, had been removed to Bar- num’s Museum for exhibition, where no doubt they will excite much interest among the curious of mor- bid tastes. There were two arrivals yesterday at the upper Quarantine of yeesels from infected ports, the barks Maria H. Colt from Trindad de Cuba and Express from Havana. Both vessels were sent to the lower Quarantine anchorage. There was no sickness on either vessel upon their arrival at this port. At the lower Quarantine there are now four vessels besides, those mentioned—the H. D. Brookman, Indian Queen, fraveller and Croton—and twenty-six veasels at the upper Quarantine. No case of yellow fever has been taken to the Marine Hospital since | that of the stevedore of the John Boynton, who is now well. ‘The business of the August term of the Court of | Seasions was completed yesterday. David Marsh | and William Lenston were each sent to the State | prison for five years for burglary. Judgment was suspended in the case of Stephen Pinkett, the | colored sailor, who killed Patrick Sheehan in | Cherry street, on the 9th of June, as it was shown that he acted in self-defence. Julian French, an | artist, was sent to the Penitentiary for one year, he pleading guilty to a minor degree of burglary. | Lake Kerrigan was tried and convicted of receiving | stolen goods. He will be sentenced next term. The Grand Jury were discharged, having accomplished an unusual smount of business. They did | not, as was expected, indict Mrs. Cunningham. Albert Hagadoore was consigned to the State prison | for five years,on a charge of assaulting Captain Raywalt, intending to kill him. A bookkeeper, named Corducas, was convicted of breaking into his employer's office in Exchange place—State pri- son two years, Mr. Stafford, counsel for Mra. Cun- ningham, renewed his motion.to admit her to bail, but after listening to the arguments of counsel and | the District Attorney, the Recorder declined to grant it. The body of the missing policeman, Jarboe, of the | Seventh ward, who has been missing since the 2d of August, was washed ashore at Fort Hamilton on | Priday last, where an inquest was held, ‘and the re- | maine buried the same day. The family of the de- ceased were notified of thie fact yesterday af- | ternoon. The Surrogate of Kings county yesterday made a decision in the matter of the applieation for the removal of Catherine D. Norris, administratrix of the estate of Thomas Norris. The decision estab- lished the invalidity of the second marriage and the legitimacy of Hester E. Millapangh, the daugh- ter of Mr. Norris by his first wife. New letters of administration were therefore issued to Hester E. Millepangnh, as the lawfal child and heir of Thomas D. Norris, Full particulars of the case were given during the progress of the trial in the Surrogate’s Court about & month since. The decision will be found elsewhere. Tt is said that the yacht Charter Oak was to have been sold in Liverpoel on the 20th of July. There was some talk of opening her to public exhibition. The supply of beef cattle being rather under the de. mand, canted somewhat of an excitemen! among buyers yestercay, Who were obliged to aubmit to an advance in * prions » beet of good quauty bring’ thirteen to fourteen cents per pound. The number of beoves on enle during the werk af ali the yards was 2,604, which is an tncrense @f 166 head over the receipis of inst week Prices for ‘veal caves have not variod matertally during the week, ‘the highest rates being from 7 to 73, conts, whilst the Principal sales were at 7. Quotations fer sbeop remain ‘upaltered, with en active demand and full supply—the total number on the market being 11,706. The market for swine was very active, and the receipts anusaally light: only 1,208 baving arrived during the week, whlch were mostly dieposed of at 6 conte per pound. Some very fine milk cows wore disposed of during the week at from $70 to $75 per head. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday were confined to about 400 a 600 bales. The market continued quite firm, while dealers were disposed to awalt the benefit of the Canada’s letters. On the lst of Beptember next (now near at hand) will terminate the returns of the crop for 1866-7, and the reooipts after that pert od will go to the account of the crop for 1867-8. At last accounts the tetal receipts at all the ports had reached about 3,895,000 bales, against 8,488,000 bales at the same portod last year. The falling off at last eoccounts tn receipts at all the Seuthern ports, compared with the same period last year, was 687,000 bales. The ordinary receipts of new cotton in August are ususily considerable; but this year they will probably be comparatively light, owing to the back wardness of the season and of the crop. Flour was unchanged, and opened steady at the previous day’s prices, with a fair amount of sales, but the market closed heavy. Wheat was unchanged, with sales of good new red at $171; now white at $1 80 a $1 82}¢, and prime do. at $1 91. Corn opened firm, with sales a Sic. a 860., Dot closed dull. Pork was firm, with sales cf mess at $34 40, part check to-day, and the remainder in the regu lar way. Retail tots sold at $24 60. Sugars were quite active, with eales of about 3,000 a 3,200 hhds., at prices given in another columam. Coffee was quiet and firm. Freight engsrements were light, and rates without alte ration of moment. The Missouri Election—The Kansas-Nebraska Bu We think it may be now taken for granted that Stewart, the democratic candidate for Governor of Missouri, has been defeated, and that Rollins, the general opposition candidate, has been elected; and elected, too (notwith- standing Mr. Buchanan’s majority of ten thou- sand), in the slave State of Missouri, upon the significant issue of free white labor against Afri- can slave labor. The position of Mr. Rollins upon the emanci- pation question was “ to let it alone,”’ but at the same time to encourage the supremacy of free white labor. In his last speech in the late can- vass, made at St. Louis, he said:— Now, in regard to my opinion on the subject of “‘eman- oO ,’’ Lear it sald occasionally that Missoari is des- t'ned to be a free State Very well; I am in favor of leav. ing that question to higher than human laws, and Iam in favor of submitting that question to the laws of climate, of ‘emigration, of labor end of , Which, firet or last, affects the destinies of man and cemmonwealths, and 0 the clear guidance of Him who does all things well. (Marks of enthusiasm ) Now, I am in favor of encouraging labor im our State; prolecting the labor of tnis cr: ‘and of the entire commonwealth in which we live. I aq in fa- vor of inviting and encouraging emigration to the State of Mirsouri from every part. (Cheers.) I say, let us throw wide open our doors and invite here men of the North, of the South, and men of every je and kindred upon the habitable globe. Invite them to cultivate our ries, to till our land, te aid io our mi re- sources, and to aid us in filling up our great cities, and making Missouri he proudest and noblest common wealth in this sisterhood of States; and if, my friends, this cordial system of emigration from North and South—If, I eay, this emigration in the course of years brings about such a dis- jon between the white and black races that it is no jonger the interest of the people of the State of Missour! to continue it « slave State, I say, “ then let it go.” (Tremen- dous cheers.) And such are among the extraordinary fruits of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. It has given such an impulse in the old Northern and Eastern States to the Western emigration movement that it has filled up Illinois, Wisconsia, Minnesota, Towa and Kansas with Northern settlers and land epeculators, and is throwing a heavy surplussage of free white adventurers over upon the cheaper ‘and more fertile lands of Missouri. Thus, in- stead of making Kansas a slave State, the Kan- eas Nebraska bill is converting Miseouri into a free State. The election of Mr. Rollins as Governor, too, is tantamount to the declaration of the sovereign will of the people of Missouri in favor of the gradual abolition of slavery in the State, and the substitution of free white labor for African slave labor. But Mr. Rollins is right in leaving the ques- tion to climate, emigration, labor and produc- tion, for these are the elements which are to de- termine the metes and bounds of African slavery. Northern nigger-worshippers may continue to howl out their execrations against “the slave breeding oligarchy of the South,” and Southern nigger-drivers may continue to rave and rant against Northern aggressions, but against the laws of climate and productions, and the pressure of a congenial emigration, there is no appeal, Within ten years, perhaps, Missouri will be a free State, and close behind her will follow Dela- ware, Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky. Such are among the discoveries which have followed the paseage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill But does it follow that the institution of sla- very in the cotton States will be thus imperilled? No, for slave labor cannot be disturbed in the cultivation of cotton; Lowell and Manchester must have their cotton, and nigger philanthropy will give way to cotton. We commend the phi- losophy of this Missouri election to the freedom shriekers of the North and the fire-eaters of the South. It teaches us the fundamental laws and the manifest destiny of African slavery, and the impotency of all sorte of agitation against the irresistible tendencies, in every direction, of free white labor and black slave labor to their con- | genial climates and productions. Who could have dreamed of these things, and of this Mis- souri election, as among the first legitimate fruits of the Kaneas-Nebreeka bill? The News from India. ‘The story which was current in London when the Canada left, to the effect that Delbi had fallen, can- not be true. It is physically impossible that news from Delhi should reach Madras without passing through Calcutta; and impossible that the Madras merchants who are said to have reported the fall of Delhi can have known anything later from thence than what every Calcutta passenger knew before. That Delhi bad not fallen, at our latest dates from thence, the latest Calcutta advices state dis- tinctly; and they even add that General Barnard did not propose to assault the place till reinforce- menta arrived, which could not be for some weeks, We learn from the details of the news that our sweeping aseertion that the whole Bengal army was lost was strictly accurate. Fifty-six regi- ments have mutinied, thirty have been disarmed, and one disbanded. In round numbers, one hun- dred thousand men, in the highest state of effi- ciency and discipline, with native officers at their head, and a vast rural population at their back, are in arms against the British power in the Presidency of Bengal. Of the utter unreliability of any of the natives, the story of the 70th native infantry, which only a few days ago was publicly thanked for its bravery by Lord Canning, and which has since become eo mutinous that it was found necessary. to disarm the men, bears ample testimony. Consternation reigned at Calcatta, and many of the citizens had taken refuge on board veesels in the harbor. All the native troops at the place had been disbanded; but as the effect of this measure would only be to throw on the city a swarm of idle and hungry men, the prospect of a general razzia and robbery sequacd strong, Ma- tines and cailors from the ehips had been mus- tered to defend the principal buildings, especially the treasury, in which there are several millions in epecie. It seemed quite likely, when the steamer left, that the Mabometans at Calcutta mightstrike a blow before the reinforcements ar- rived from England. Thirty thousand men, we hear, have sailed already to reinforce the Queen’s troops in Ben- gal. Even supposing this ald arrived, it would be but a handful of men to oppose to the ewarms of Indians who wii now take the field against the English. For the present, in a word, Bengal is loet to England. It may be recovered; but just now, itis lost, and the great Indian empire is curtailed by 60 much. This event suggests further reflection upon the effect of the total loas of British India upon the interests of the United States. Without doubt: the ruin of Engiand’s Indian empire would be a very serious low to us; as we shall shall soon perceive by the fluctuations in cotton if the war lasts any length of time. England now sells to India eome $40,000,000 a $50,000,000 of British goods, for the raw material constituting the bulk of which she is indebted to us. If ehe loses her market for the goods, we shall lose hers for the material, and shall be fully as great sufferers as the Eaglish Nor is it poesible to exaggerate the mischief that would flow to us from the long train of conse- quences attendant upon the final expulsion of the Englieh from India, and among which the least would be thata eplendid country, one of the most fertile on the face of the earth, would pro- bably become an utter desert, a second Nicara- owe trust that England’s representatives are duly considering the matter; and, as the contest must sooner or later involve considerations of numerical force, that they are availing them- selves of the fortunate language of the Neutra- lity laws to prepare to enlist soldiers here. A bundred thousand men may be had for the ask- ing—greatly to our relief—if the business be un- dertaken in the right way. @he Gagging of the Indian Press—A Blun- der of the English Government. Of all the indications that come to us relative to the true state of affairs in British India, none is more pregnant with assurance of ill and fore- boding of danger than the announcement that a censorship of the press there had been established by the government. Such a course can be looked upon only as a confession of the existence of indefensible wrong, and of a determination to perpetuate it; or else of the utter cowardice and incapacity, on the part of those who govern, to gird on the armor of truth and meet, like men, the exigencies of the situation. Surely the press of India, which is entirely in the hands of men of English blood, cannot be amenable to the suspicion of treason to that civilization of which they form so noble and prominent a part. The only possible defence that we can imagine for such a step is the fear that the information of passing events which the journals might publish would convey intel- ligence to the dissatisfied masses of na- tive population, and thus give fuel to the spirit of rebellion. But this argument is per- fectly untenable. It is well known to every one at all conversant with Indian affairs—and we have had occasion to allude to it in these columns —that the transmission of intelligence among the native population of India is more rapid and per- fect than it is through the regular channels of the governing race, with the sole exception of the lately established magnetic telegraph. As the native communities are not therefore dependent on the English press for early intelligence, and as the telegraph is entirely under the control of the government, and no information by it could be divulged without the consent of the authori- ties, the only effect of such a measure can be to inspire the civilized world with a want of confi- dence in the intelligence from India, and to de- prive the governing class there of that moral in- fluence which a fearless and uncaring announce- ment of the trath always gives. It is in itself a confession of weakness and fear in the face of one hundred and seventy millions of discontented subjecta. But the aot itself has a higher significance than that appertaining merely to Indian affairs. At a time when all the civilized nationalities of the world, with the single exception of those spring- ing from the English stock, are receding toward the absolutism of the dead past; when the press of France, of Germany, Austria, Ruséia and Spain are placed under the gag of a government censorship; when the only civilization in the world that dares maintain the torchlights of free speech and a free pres in its midst is that which looks to England as its mother, that one of the divisions of the great Anglicancivilization should find it necessary to hide the truth, or should fear to meet it in the open light of day and before the whole world, is an abandonment of what we Americans bold to be the essence of our progress and the soul of our increasing inflaence over the destinies of mankind. We are disposed to look upon the present struggle in India not merely as pertinent to the rule of England in that country, but as one of the events that mark the triumphant march of a social and political civilization, in which we hold a family interest and play a most important part. In that Jight the American people were disposed to give to England in the present crisis not only a cordial and hearty moral eupport, but, should occasion require it—which, however, we have never anticipated— something, perhaps, of a more tangible and material character. If, how- ever, England must sustain any branch of her civilization by an appeal to those unworthy and hitherto un-English resorta that characterize the policy of other nations, we can have nothing to do with it, and can give it no support. The American people never will, nor can they syn- pathize with anything that dares not meet the light of a free press. If the eystem that exists in India is of euch a character, England owes it not only to herself, but to Anglican civilization all over the world, to sweep it away at once, and to establish one more consonant with the spirit and tendencies of every people that speaks her lan- guage and looks to her as the cradle of their civilization. gene Wit Kansas pe a Stave State!—We find the following in the Albany Journal, as an “ex- tract of a letter written by Col. Orr, of South Corolina, on his recent return from Kaneas:”— The Southern States have contributed large amounts of money in support of their cause, but their emigrant aid nocie: ies and other proselyiing agenc es have not succeed. ‘od (n throwing into Kaneas more than 5,000 voters, while the Northern free State vote is 17,000, or more than three to one Does this look like the admission of Kansas into the Union as a slave State? Does it not rather go to prove that the Kansas game of both the agitating Northern nigger worshippers and Southern nigger drivers, like the game of Mrw Cunningham, “1s played out?” Let the law take ite gowee. Waar Next?—A short time since a womaa of the name of Anderson found herself near to her Confinement, and without money or friends. She was obliged to apply to the Governors of the Almshouse, by whom she was sent to Bellevue Horpital, where, on Saturday week, she was de- livered of e female child. This child was used by the District Attorney in his remarkable manceuvres aginst Mrs, Cunningham, and was by the last named pereon produced as her own. After the exporure of the trick the child was re- turned to its mother at Bellevue, when an appli- cation wap made by 8 showman for permission to exbibit them. The District Attorney at first de- clined to give the permission, on the ground that he intended to detain the mother as a witness, But it seems to be the fate of Mr. Hall, if he does s proper thing, to immediately neutralize ita gocd effict by some egregious blunder. So in thiscase. We find that the woman—who is not yet quite well and the infant have been removed from Bellevue to the building occupied by the enterprising showman, by whom they will be duly exhibited to the public, along with various other curiosities, dead and alive. In the name of public decency, we call upon the Governors of the Almshouse and the District Attorney for an explanation of thisehamefal pro- ceeding. To use a mild term, it is an infamous outrage. How would you, Messieurs the authori- ties, like to have your wife taken from her bed the second week after childbirth, and, with her infant, subjected for ten or twelve hours per day to the gaze of every vagabond who can com- mand twenty-five cents? Ab, but she is a pau- per mother, with a pauper infant. That makes the difference. She has no feelings. Let her die. It will “relieve her necessities.” Let us add a crowning disgrace to the already shameful series of events which commenced in Bond street with the murder of Doctor Burdell. We call upon the public and the press to unite in putting a stop to this outrageous proceeding. Let us show the country that everybody in New York is not in- sensible to shame. If the Governors, who 4pend millions of the public money, cannot give this woman a bed until she has recovered her health, we bave no doubt that private citizens will only be too happy to provide for her. Tne Quarantine Station av SeGumne’s Pornt. —It seems that, after all that has been said and done, after all the battles between Captain Wal- ling and the oystermen, and all the skirmishes between the Staten Islanders and ex-Mayor Hall, the site selected for a fever depot by the Com- mireioners of Quarantine, at Seguine’s Point on the south aide of Staten Island, will not answer fer the purpose, and that the Commissioners of Emigration will not accept or have anything to do with the buildings erected thereon. We notified the Commissioners that the site would not answer when it was first chosen, and we warned them that the money laid out there would be lost. They disregarded the warning; epent come $40,000 in land and buildings, and $10,000 more in guarding them against the oys- termen; and now find that the whole is irre- coverably lost. The buildings will probably take fire some windy night and be burnt; the fence will be likely to walk away; and all that will remain of the appropriation will be the elegant bit of swamp selected for the “ grounds.”’ Under the circumstances we cannot think of any act in which the Quarantine Commissioners would figure to more advantage than in resign- ng. It is the only thing left for them to do.

Aw Ovrstor View or Tammany Hatit.—The New York Hzpress says that “Mr. Fillmore was not sustained by those who voted for him from any expectation that he could be elected; but simply to defeat the republican party.” This is old news; but the fact thus suggested is an out- side view of Tammany Hall.
