The Board of Aldermen met last evening. A com- munication was received from the Comptroller with reference to the charges for grading Fourth avenue between Thirty-cighth and Filty-eighth streets. An abstract of the document is given in our report else- where. A resolution authorizing the payment of 2,000 to Stepken H. Branch for his services on the Matsell nativity committee was offered, and laid over under the rules. A report in favor of iacreasing the salaries of the City Inspector and street Commis- sioner to $5,000 each, and the Ceputies of the last named officer in proportion, was presented and laid aside for fature consideration. Inthe Board of Councilmen last evening the re- port of the Special Committee who examined the books in the financial department, which appeared inthe Hexaup of the 22d, was discussed at great length. Meesre. Franklin and Jones and other members spoke eloquently in favor of the reception of the report, and a resolution was adopted autho- rizing the committee to continue their investiga- tions, as they promise to make ‘astounding dis- closures.” Mr. Jones offered a preamble and resolu- tion, which were unanimously adopted, asking the appointment of a joint special committee of both The Southern Aid Society he!d its fourth annas! meeting last night in Dr. equere, Rev. Mr. Mitchell, of Virginia, and Dr. Todd, of Pittafield, Mase, addressed the audience, which was a very small ove. A report was read by the General Agent, from which it appears that the year were $7,465, andthe disbureements 610,131. Mr. Mitchell said that the society was sending the Gcspel to over three millions of negroes, not by sending tracts or agents among them to awaken distrust andalarm, but by filling the pulpits with Godly men. Twenty-seven ministers had been seut by this mission last year to the slaves. the South. The Methodist Episcopal Church South had done noble work in this mrovement. It had devoted in the book called “Dred,” that masters encouraged the moral education of their slaves because it in- creased their marketable value, and aeked if that eternally. He denied the statement of Dr. Barnes in negroes eteal, lie and cheat. They were just as con- remedy for all evils, slavery included, and saserted that no one who used articles raised by slaves could hold their consciences clear of the sin of slavery. The stockholders of the Bowery Bauk lately em ployed Mr. Edmonds, ex-cashier of the Mechanics’ Bank, to examine the condition of the former iasti- tution, in reference to its solvency and its ability to resume its business. Mr. Edmonds made an exami. nuticn and reported to the stockholders in detail, and we are informed that in bis re ort it was con- cluded to wiad ap the bank and cloce its affairs. ‘There was cothing new tramspired yesterday rogard | img the cotton market, There was a good demend from ‘both domestioand foi cign trade for four, aud the ket closed at an advance cf from 53. to 10e., chiefly for 3 ate ard Western, aad im gome cases of exira grades 152 bigher rates wars oblained.

The Administration, Kaveas and the South. ern Fire Katers—The Virginia Democracy to the Rescue. Our Washington telegraphic advices, and the extracts which we publish this morning from certain Virginia democratic papers, upon the Karas question, bring the misunderstanding be- tween the Southern fire-eaters and the adminis- tration to the simple igeue of open war. It will also be seen, from the empkatic resolutions of the staunch democracy of the “Old Tenth Legion” of Virginia, that Mr. Senator Hunter must make up hie mind either fairly and squarely to erdorse the Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanaa and Gov. Wwker, or prepare ‘imeelf for the philosophical recreations of private life. And thus we have a direct iesue made up betwoen the conservative admiuisiration democracy aud the Sonthern fire-esting ultras, which will form a prominent landmark in our political history for many years to come. The late Kansas elections render it perfectly | certain that Kansus is to be a free State; and, in view of thete clections, we think it is equally certain that a pro-elavery coustitution, emanating from a Convention elected by lees than ove-fifth | of the popular vote, if eeut up to Coa- ere: without reference of said con- stitution to the people, will be seot back again, The President will require it, and Congress will suetain him in this couree. The late shameless and enormous fraud resorted to by the pro-slavery fice-enters at the Oxford pre- cinct in Kantas, betrays a depth of corruption on the part of that faction whiol lere it wor worthy of further respect or toleration. Read the proclamation of Governor Waiker, which we | also publish to-day. Meantime, having postponed their iabors to await the resulte of the late Territorial election, we are left to conjecture the ultimate issue of thepro- slavery Convention. Inasmuch, however, as any constitution which they may adopt will doubtless be rejected by the people, if submitted for their ratification, we presume that the Convention will lar vote. We are more strongly inclined to this belief from the late speeches and letters of euch fire-eating leaders as Jefferson Davi Sensor Hunter. These factious leaders ev ly expect the trick indicated, and have foreshadowed their course accordingly. Nor caa we suppose that thoy would rest their whole game for the Presidential eucceseion upon a’ distant Territorial Convention of whose materials and purposes they are ignorant. On the contrary, we suspect that such men as Jefferson Davis and Geo. Atchisoa ‘and others of the enme faction, outside of Kansas, hold this Kansas pro-slavery Convention in their hands, and that they have been using it, are using it, will ose it, and have all along designed to use it, to throw this proposed sectional fire- brand into Congress. Anticipating, then, thet this Kanras pro- tlavery Convention will adopt a pro-tlavery State constitution, and send it up to Congress, dispensing with the little formality of & popular ratification, we may readily acticipate what will be the resulta The ehailowuess and contemptible meannees of the trick will be at once detected and exposed—all bonest men will thrink from ite recognition and defence, and it will be fgnomisiouly rejected by Congress as an outrage upon the people of Kansas, as a defiance of public opinion, and asa base attempt to die honor the South by smuggling a slave State into the Usion, reckless of law, decency and decorum. But while euch must be the inevitable fate of ou attemp* to smuggle Kanzas into the Union as a slave Stato by ignoring the people of Kansas the proslavery constitution indicated will an- ewer the purpoees of the firecaters, They are looking to the next Presidency—their aim, to | this end, asa Southern eectional faction, is to | | importart | two Central American representatives, control or break Gown Mr, Buchanan's adainis- tration.

Io the mcantimc, our own government is de- termined to proceed with dae caution in the matter. It will not recognise the irregular dual government now in existence in Nicaragua, and will wait the result of the Presidential election, which recently took place there. If a President ebould be elected, ard permitted to organise his government, he will be recogaized by ours. As for the reports that are being continually published of the recognition of Senor Yrissarri, the arrangement of the transit route question, and of the support of this or that company by the goveroment, they are all bosh, being got up by private parties for interested purposes. When- ever a government in Nicaragua shall be recog- nized, our own will take care that the rights of all American citizens shall be placed ona erafe and secure footing; but it will have nothing to do with the transit route or the companies claim- ing it, further than to see that its peaceable en- joyment is sccuted to the whole world. The diz- putes of the companies with the local govern- ments and between themselves will have to be settled by the proper reepective tribunals. The fact is, that the representatives of Central America now in Washington are in con- flict with each other. While Senor Yris earri, backed by Joe White and the Vanderbilt interest, is etriving for the recognition of the pre- | sent, and counting upon that of the probably elected government of Nicaragua, Senor Molina is oppored to euch a step on the part of our goveroment, as it would amount to recogaition of that republic with all ber territories and boun- aries as existing before the war. Such a step would deprive Costa Rica of the territorial ad- vantages the bad hoped to receive from her exer- tions and sacrifices in the war against Walker, and this is the key to the conflict between the Whale all this scheming and waiting is going on at Wash'ngton and in England, the two repub- lice are threatening to come to blows between themeelvee, and civil war to break out in Nicara- gua. Her relations with Costa Rica have been for eome time far from amiable, and General Caras has been sent on a special mission from San Jose to Managua, to“endea¥or to effect a set. tlement. On the whole, it seems to us that the Central American questions are far fron being settled, “and our own government is in s complete state of uncertainty what to do., The information it had hoped_to reccive from Mr. Carey Jones has not been fSrtheoming, and it is not unlikely it may have to send an agent to look after him. It is probable that » new Commissioner will have to beeent down there by our government, to find out what is the stale of things; and if so, it is to be hoped that when it does, it will send some'| ¢! one who can speak the language of the people he goes amongst, s0 that he can hold personal intercourse with them, and at least understand the views of their leading men, eo far as they may be willing to express them privately. This sending of virtually deaf and dumb diplomatic agents to the Spanish American republics has been the cause of more than half of our troubles with them. Meanwhile, we await the arrival of Sir William Gore Ouseley at Washington for the developement of a plan for the settlement of there Central American questions, Powticartoy or Faruvnrs.—The Independent of yesterday announces that it has ceased for the preeent to publish its usual weekly list of fail- ures, and aesigns as areason for the step that such publications at a time like the present tend | torggravate the panic which still retains its | hold on the public mind. | Whatever propricty there may be in the course the Jndependent is pursuing, the reason assigned | is, we venture to say, not the true one. The real reasou why it is inexpedient not to publish lists of New York failures at present is that the mo- ment a house here is gazetted as having failed, | their debtors in the Weet cease to remit, or pay | their debts in any shape, and immediate ruin fol- ! lowe generally as a matter of course. Our Western customers, who, by the way, at | the present time, are making some noise about their commercial solidity, and are pleased to be facetious about our New York distresses, are proving pretty conclusively what reliance can Le placed in them in times of commercial embar rasemont, Though the West never was, in all ber history, so well able to pay what she owes as the is at the present moment, we venture to say that there never was a time when Now York ercditors had eo many outstanding unavailable debts in the West. The Western men have got they will neither send us the money which is due latter. The money they have invested for the most part in land epcculations which will shortly crumb!e to the ground with a terrible crash; the corn, they coolly tll us—while withholding pay- from the loss of this little «yaad of Southern dis- | ment of what they owe—they are holding for organizers and fire eating demagogucs, In Virginia the bold game of these disorgaai- zers is already loet.

The same thing is being done at the South, where the planters, still rejokking in last year's fatocss, prefer to keep their creditors herevand to hold on to their cotton, rather than eel it at present priors. The whole story of our present commorg'al NEW YORK HEHAL) FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30: 1867. “fix” may be told in one eentence: the merchants of New York are beingasorificed by the rapacity and the dishoncety of their customers ia the rural districts. . Ivporntayt Commercia, Movemey1—New Kip or Remrrrances.—From information ob- taincd yesterday, from inquiries made among leading buzinces men, we secertained the fact that tho specie brought ont by the Persia did not represent the fullamount of available securities which came out by her. Many merchants, by the preference of their correspondents abroad, re- ceived by ber large eums in the form of guaran- teed bank acceptances or credits, aomething eimi- lar in their nature to what are known in this country as certificates of deposit. Many of the acceptances bear the guarantees of the Bank of England, some of the Bank of Liverpool, and others of leading banks in Scotland. It was esti- mated that the aggregate eecurities remitted in this form by the Persia amounted to not lees than £200,000 to £250,000, or at least $1,000,000, which, added to the $1,200,000 in gold, made the whole amount of remittances by this steamer cquivalent to $2,000,000 or $2,200,000. The buik of these guaranteed acceptances were re-forwarded by..mail to the South, principally to New Orleans, with the view of bnying cotton with them. A branch of a New Orleans house ia thia city received a considerable amount of guaraa- teed acceptances, and considered their remittance, under the circumstances, more convenient than if the amount had been forwarded in gold, First, the freight and insurance of three-fourths to one per cent from Liverpool to New York was saved; se- condly, had the gold, with the vessel, been lost in transit, month or eix weeks would have been lost before the fards could have been replaced, while the steamer to arrive after the Persia would bring the second of the acceptances. Moreover, on the arrival of the specie here, it would have to be carted toa bank, and then reshipped to New Orleans at a cost of one per cent, subject to delay in case of loss, while the guaranteed ac- ceptances, or bills of credit, have been forwarded at once by mail to New Orleans. The parties in New York who received remit- tances in these guaranteed bank credits were chiefly shipping houses and thoze engaged in makirg purchases of breadscuffs and other American produce to fill foreign orders. Those guaranteed bills ranked higher in the market than ordinary bills of exchange, whether drawn by bankers or merchants against pro- duce, ard sold for within one or two per cent of epecie values, or of the par of sterling cx- change. While produce bills commanded only 100 a 102, and merchants’ and bankers bills from 105 to 105 and 106, one of these bills guaranteed by the Bank of England sold yesterday at 108, and for another, backed by the Bank of Liver- pool, 107 was offered and refused. This may be considered an important move- meat, and well calculated to produce an amelicration ia the movements of trade, without subjecting the came amount of specie to two voyages across the Atlantic, ata heavy ex- pense and rik, with loss of interest, &c. It is also important from the rapidity with which the traneactions can be made and the produce bought and sent forward. Immediate purchases aud shipments of cotton are required to be made at the South on English account. It isa matter of vital importance to the manufacturers in Manchester that this should be done with @ll convenient despatch; and as far as the celerity of the transaction is concerned, it can be better effected by guaranteed Bank of England credits or seceptances than by the ship- ment of specie. At the present time the English purchasers have our cotton market to themselves. They form almost the only buyers, and no doubt are auxtous to have the cotton forwarded as speedily as potsible. It is clear that these guaranteed ac- ceptances form the next best securities to specie, because 20 long as the Bank of England holds out, these bills, if desired, can be drawn for in especie, which can be brought over to this coua- tay if necessary.

We have never said that the women caused the revulsion. We do say, however, that they are reeponsible for a part of it, It is the duty of all good women, married and single, now to help the men out of the troubles which environ them. If they will do this with a cheerful heart, they will find that the clubs, the barrooms and other more disreput- able places of resort will coon be deserted by all the men who are worth saving for the household circle. Renat Fou.y.—There must be a wonderful amount of folly somewhere in the rural districts, | We hear a great deal of talk about the produce not coming forward in consequence of the narrow minded policy of the banks, and of the want of a circulating mediam in the West; but it seems to us that a groat deal of this is all trash. Here we ece flour is selling in Clticago at euch a price that it could not by any possibility be brought to this city and eold at a profit, even though the West were tunuing over with money; and in like manner, we see that colton is eelling at Charleeton at prices which would leare little or no margin for pofit when sold here, after paying freight acd charges. What merchant or bank can be expected to put his money into the business of, bringing produce forward when the folly of the rural districts—in maintaining the prices of their staples—would almost ensure a loes on the operations ’ The fact seems to be that the farmer of the West and the planter of the South are both rich ond bold on to their produce in thé hope of betler pricer, which of course they will never get. Meanwhile, they don’t pay their debts, and prefer to break their creditors rather than patt with the only articles whieh conld set trade agoing in the country. - THE LATEST ‘NEWS, ae a from baieeres. seo TSE OBNTRAL 4MEBIOAN QURCCIOK—NEW Baiting MINISTER TO THOSE staTEe—TL4 PRESIDENT AND THE KANSAS QUBGTION—a PLAIN “S3UE OF acB- MISSION OF BBBELLION FOR THE PLOT SATERS— INTBURSTING FACTS OONOSRYING THE ¥LNANOLAL AND ECONOMICAL POLICY OF TBE ADMinisTRSeION —INTERVIRW OP CaPrAIN VAN VUIBE Wits TLS PRESIDENT—MB, DUCHANAN’S FIRST DIPLOMATIG® “iy eae Wasnnxcrom, Ost. 29, 1867. ‘The Contral American question remains tm sialu quo.

This Policy comprehends Gov. Walker's pian of suDmilting the State constitution for Kansas to the popular volo, as am indispensable pre-requisite to the acceptance of the anid Constitution at Washington; for! have a most excellent reason for believing, should the Constitutional Kansae Oon- ‘Veation adopt a pro slavery constitution aud send it ap to Oopgress as the basis upon which to admit Kansas inte the Union asa State, without referring 1tto the popular ‘vole, that the administration will havo it cont back agaie to be put to the judgment of the Kansas people, ‘The game of ‘he Gre eaters is now to secure from tha sald Convention the plan of sending their prosiavery const:tution, without farther ceremony, to Washington, ia tho hope of reducing the administration to submission tm the Genate; butafier the developemenis of the late Kansas election, the policy of Mr. Buchanaz aud Govera- or Walker will be omnipotent in both houses of Cowgress; and the fire eaters will be speedily riduced to the precise teat of am unconditional surrender er an o7em rebrilicn.
