We bave three days /ater news from Europe. The eteamebip Persia, which left Liverpool at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning, 5th inst, arrived at this port early yesterday morning The Persia has thus beaten the Baitic’s passece by almost two entire Gays.

Oar correspondent at Port an Prince, Hay'i, wri fing on the 25th nlt., furnishes some important in- telligence relative to the progress of the revolution fn San Domingo. It appears that the partizans of Banana bave gained important snoceases in the | ficld, ond it is moreover stated that Baez had been Obtiged to hastily quit the country, and that quiet had been restores. The Haytien government took no part in the quarrel. It i therefore probable that Bantans hae been recalled from exile and saimmented in the Presijency. | We have by way of England news from the weat coast of africa, dated at Loando 12th, Atmbriz 13th, end Logos 2ist of July, and Sierra Leone 13th ult. There was po political news of any imo ment, all being quiet along the coast.

The gale of Friday and Saturday last proves to have been very severe along our Southern coast. Already we bave intelligence of the loss of the barks Colis McRea and John W. Blodgett, and the schooners Emily Ward and Abd-el-Kader, and also of several vessels being axbore on the coast of Nortn Carolina. The steemship Empire City, from Ha- vana for New York, put into Norfolk yesterday, shortof coal. Her officers report having encoun" tered a succession cf heavy gules, during which she received some slight damage. The non-arrival at this port of the sieamship Central America, from 4spinwall, with the semi-monthly shipment of pas- seugers, mails and gold from California, is doubt leas to be attributed to the prevalence of the heavy gales alluded to. An iptereating episode to the Nicaragua Transit grant controversy has just happened across the river in New Jersey, where suits ona charge of slander have been commenced by Mr. W. R. OC. Webster against R. F. Kirkpatrick and Sylvanus M. Spencer: ‘The damages in each case are laid at the insignifl’ cant sum of fifty thousand dollars. Both the de fendants have been arrested, and, in default of ten thousand dollars bonds, committed to the Hudson county jail. apropos of Nicaragaa—it is stated in a Mobile paper that $150,000 have been raised in Georgia to aid Walker in another raid invo that country. We have received the official majority and minori- ty reports of the Quarantine Commissioners relative to the Seguine’s Point Quarantine and the selection of a site in the harbor for a permanent Quarantine, togesber with the report of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and State Comptroller, relative to the same subjects. The State oflicers, although expressing ap- proval of the temporary accommodations provided at Seguine’s Point, are opposed to any immediate action being taken as to settling upon the “Old Or- chard Sroal” as a location for any portion of a per- maveut Quarantine establishment, as urged in the majority report. As the case stands, there is the en- couraging promise of the effort being repeated this winter to induce New Jersey to grant Sandy Hook fora Quarantine. The suit between the States of New York and Virginia, known as the Lemon slave case, with the particulars of which our readers are already ta- miliar, was brougbt up in the Supreme Court yea- terdsy, and by request of counsel postponed till the third Tuesday of the present term. The twenty-ninth annual fair of the American Institute opened at the Crystal Palace last evening. Though the airangements were not quite com- pleted there was 8 large number of persons present to witness the inauguration of an exhibition go fruitful of usefulness to the progress of the me- chanical arts of the nation. At eight o'clock the company assembled in the picture gallery, when the Chairman of the Institute, Mr. Charles A. Whitney, introduced the Hon. Henry Meigs, who delivered an appropriate inangural address. Fire Marshal Baker yesterday concluded before Justice Davison another cuse of arson. One James Shepherd stood charged with wilfully burnixg his dwelling in Fifty-third street last June, in the ruins of which the charred remains of Shepherd's wife were found. The magistrate deeided to hold Shep- herd for trial. The recent failures and pressure in the money market affect the reveipt of taxes at the Tax Re- ceiver's office, as well as affecting business generally. For the eight days closing yesterday, during which time the Tax Receiver's office has been open, the aggregate sum paid in has been $477,000, against $716,000 for the corresponding period last year. Yesterday, at the Comptroller's office, $700,000 of the citys indebtedness in, the form of revenue bonds was redeemed. An interesting account of a descent upon an ex- tensive obscene literature establishment by the offi- cers of the Court of Sessions yesterday, will be found in another part of today’s paper. Ackerman, the proprietor and also the publisher of an obscene sheet entitled the Venus Miscellany, has fled, but it is confidently hoped that he will soon be arrested. The only case that was tried in the Court of Ses- | sions yesterday was a charge of grand larceny, which resulted in the conviction of Isaac Cotne. He Was seutto the penitentiary for two years. The. Almsbouse Governors met yesterday, but transacted no business of importance. The trial of James P. Donnelly for the murder ot Albert S. Mos lands on the Ist ult., commenced at Frechold, N.

Onur circulation and advertisements at the pre- sent moment are greater than they have ever | been on any former occasion. We issue every week over half a million of sheets—principally duilies—an amount of circulation perfectly un- precedented in the history of the newspaper press, and unapproachable on this or any other continent. These facts, developing the sound- nets of the business of our well conducted estab- lishment, may be considered a sample of the well conducted business of the whole community, The speculative and stock gambling influences amount to but a small portion of the great movement of commerce and exchange in this vast emporium. These facts also indicate the belief and conviction which prevail in the minds of the Americen people, that the New York Heratp is, in all general respec's, the most honest and best conducted sheet in this country. Their verdict settles that point; but we are not satisfied with what we have already achieved. The next ses- sion of Congress at Washington, under our pre- and bis talented Cabinet, wili form a new era and a freeh point of departure in the national existence. A epirit of reform iu politics, finance, and in every other branch of public affairs, is beginning to pervade the country. In order to assist aud further the efforts of the administra- tion, it is our intention to reside, during the win- ter, in Washington, for the purpose of superio- tending the extensive improvements which we contemplate effecting in the columns of the New York Heratp, more especially in reference to the reporte of the proceedings of Congress and of those of the government.

Tue Kansas Convention—Briant Prosvects Anrap—Our special correspondent at Lecomp- ton telegraphe as tollows:— The Consutwional Convention is permanetly org snimed. Sarveyo: General Calhoun is clected President. His spoech (ndioates that he ts in favor of submitting the conaituuon to the people. | Our readers ate aware that there were two parties in Kansas struggling for the organization ot this Convention—the one desiring to leave the matter to the Lona fide inhabitants of the Territo- ry, aud the otber, the secessionists, who had de- | termined that Karsas should be a slave State, | without regard to the will of the majority stould it be expressed in contradiction to their views. By the above despatch, however, it would seem that the will of the Convention, as expresecd through ite presiding officer, is to fol- | low the conservative and just plan adopted by the administration of Mr. Buchanan, and to allow | the people to decide for themselves as to their local ins'itutions, eccording to the letter and the | spirit of the act orgacizing the Territory. We | are confident that moderate men, of ali parties, will be exceedingly gratified with this beight news from Kansas, It is not often that we get | anything pleasant from that quarter, and ft is so much the more weleome on that account.

While the buckstering political manayers ard pipe Jayers of our party conventions avd party twkets and platforms are mining and plottiag for the spoils ot tbe lobby and the various railroad speculations of the day, it is very evident toat 4 general bolt is premeditated by the independent masers of ali parties, and a sweeping politicai re- volution. We see it stated in our rural exchanges, for in- stance, that Hon James S, Wadsworth, the great leader in Western New York of the radical de- mocracy last fall, in bebalf of Col Fremont, bas been holding a sort of private consultation at Ro- chester with other chiefs of that party, in refe- rence to their future movements; aad from the tone of certain radical democratic Fremont news. papers just now. it is possible that this Rochester consultation may invoive the important question of a bolt of sixty or seventy thousand radicat de- mocrats trom the Seward black republican camp; for we doubt not that the Van Buren secedera trom the democratic party of this State last fall were fully up to the mark of from seventy to eighty thousand men. Ov the otber hand, the Troy Budget, a regnlar éemocratic organ, cannot stand the late etultitica tions of our democratic huckstering politicians at Syracuse, and declares that the re nomicatioa of Judge Denio for the Court of Appeats will result ia a bolt of fifty thousaud democrats from the Syracuse ticket of the party. The defection in this populous democratic metropolitan police district will certainly be anything but encourag- ing to the advocates of a democratic re-uniony consolidation and harmony. Nothing of the eort can be expected here, with a ticket looking to the railroad influences operating at Albany, aud with a platform professing to look in an opposite direction. Insteed of any democratic re-uatoa or harmony upon such double dealing nominations apd resolutions, in this quarter of the State, it is | mapi’est that the effect will be to widen the | existing feuds among our Tammany factions aod to disgust the honest masses of our metropolitan dtmocracy with the whole batch of their Sra cuse bucktters and managers. And with such elements of demoralization nd alienatioa operating in this stronghold of the democracy, what can they expect througbout the State upon thie Syracuse democratic ticket except a general demoralization of the camp? Meantime the scattered elements of the late American organization, seizing upon the spoils and plunder and stockjobbing corruptions of the Albany oligarcby--the true issues of the can- vase—are coming tothe rescue. Ino various re- cent meetings in the interior of the State tnese American remnants are fusing upon these issues with a epirit which shows that they have touched the popular pulse, and that the solid mass+s of | the people are all alive to the actual necessivies of these times of wholesale legislative and lobby corruptions. What, then, is the prospect before us? The democratic railroad jobbers of the iaterior have thrnst upon the democracy of this cornerof the State their Syracuse ticket, with the chief en- tion at the head of the column. Another party, with smaller pretensions, but with a zeat for their cause which ia traly astoniso- ing, is now holding its State Convention; and they will probably show to cur etaltified demo. cratic mavagers the only road to union aud success in reference to our State affairs. At the end of the month the plans of the several parties for the canvass will be completed by the Biack Republican Convention at Syracuse ; and from all appearances, the general result of the election will be a disorganization and confusion of all the parties involved, and, right aud left, the developement of a general popular revolt against all the plotting and trading stockjobbing and tpoils politicians of every faction concerned. The honest body of the people—asgricultural, mechanical and commercial—throughout the State, demand a revolution in the government at Albavy. They want reform, retrenchment, a lessening of their taxes, and a stop to the spolia- tions and combined lobby etockjobbing schemes and affiliatione of the Sewara oligarchy. Our tox payers care very little at this crisis about “bleeding Kansas,” inasmuch as the Kaosas to a quiet and satisfactory sola- “Bleeding New York” is the ques coming tion. | tion which now most people of this commonwealth; and where this party or that party shall have failed to meet the practical exigencies of the times, it will in- preseure of the popular wrath. Thus, ia our No- tickers at Syracuse will doubtless receive a wholesome rebake—thua our deluded Seward oli- gareby, deluded with the idea that the popalarity of Fremont measures the strength of their forces, will fall ebort of their estimates to the extent of a hundred thourand votes or more; and thas the late ecattered remnants of the American party, falling back upon the true local issues for tuie the future party of the people in this State is that party which shall come up most boldly and dis- tinetly for the purification of the Sate House Albany, and of the expulsion therefrom of toe corrupt spoilemen and stogkjobbers tnat have held it for the last few years, to the exclusion of all Lonest legislation.
