She brings $77,500 in specie. Her financial and commercial advices were in a great measure anticipated by the news telegraphed from ft. Johns, Newfoundland, after the Ariel passed Cape Race, which appeared in the Heraup of Sun- day morning. The City of Washington has, however, brought us full files of European papers, the atest English trade circulars. The report of a de- preasion in the cotton market is confirmed. The fiour market was a little more firm on the 3d inst. ‘The London money market, the Bourses of Paris, Milan and Turin, and the Rotterdam Exchange were a good deal depressed. Consols closed in London on the evening of the 3d at 89 a 89§ for money and account, and at 90} for the December settlement. The effects of the American money crisis were beginning to be felt injuriously in the manufacturing districts of England. By a statement made of the affairs of Messrs. D. & J. McDonald, of Glasgow, their lia- bilities are put down at £425,333, (or about $2,000,000) and the assets of alf kinds, including pri- vate effects, £227,000, (or $1,133,000.) This account shows that the house will be able to pay something over 50 per cent of its liabilities. James Morrison, a merchant of London, worth $20,000,000, had died near London. He had large investments in the United States. We have a full report of the attempt made to launch the steamship Great Eastern, now called the Leviathan, and of its failure. By a sudden revolu- tion of one of the drums, round which a purchase chain was wound, one man was killed and three others badly wounded. The railing of the United States frigate Niagara from Plymouth for this country, was reported in London. The Catholic Bishop of Toronto had preached in “Ireland against further emigration this season. The steamship St. Louis arrived early yesterday morning, bringing the details of nine days later news from the Pacific. There is nothing of a startling nature in the intelligence from California. The Ex- ecutive Committee of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee had issued a pronunciamiento, which we give in full, annulling the existing penalties against the expatriated individuals who fell under the ban of the organization during its temporary existence. The penalty which has just been removed was death in case of return. Business was extremely dull in California, but nothing like a panic had appeared at Abe last date to disturb the financial operations. The storm has not yet reached the shores of the Pacific. Miners were represented as being as active as ever in pursuit of the hidden treasure in the valleys and mountains of the State, and the yield, by the appli- cation of an additional amount of labor, was still remuncrative. We have news from Manila to the 10th of August. Private letters had been received there from Amoy, China, dated about the 8th of that roonth, stating that the American and English residents at Ningpo, nuin- bering forty persons, had been all murdered by the Chinese—not banished, as reported by telegraph from New Orleans. The statement was believed at Manila. Our advices from Honolulu are t the 7th of Sep Yember. The ship General Pike, of New Bedford, the firet whaler of the season, arrived at Lahaina from Kodtack on the 4th of that month, with nine hundred and thirty barrels of whale and sperm oil. ‘The carpenter of the ship Euterprise, of Nantucket, ‘was killed by a whale etaving ¢ boat. The weather hhad been rough at the fishing grounds. Small change and water were very scarce at the Sandwich Jolands. We have news from Av tralia dated at Sydney on Qi of August. In the New South Wales Parlia ment, on the 12th of August, Mr. Cowper, leader of the opposition, placed ® motion om the books ex pressive of disapproval of the bestowal of govern ment offices by ministers. The motion was defeat ed on the 19th by a vote of 21 to 18 The Wanganu Chronicle mye that the volcano of Tongariro had deen very active, and tliat a few shocks of earth quake had been felt in the neighborhood. One thousand men were at woik profitably in the Nel fon gold mines. There ix no later news from Mel bourne. In our police intelligence this morning will be found a number of interesting eases showing con Clusively that robbery, thefts, shooting and stabbing are not by any means on the decrease in the mit lis. It is very gratifying, however, to find that Derpetrators, in nearly every case, were arrested, and that there is @ probability of their coming up before Judge Russel for trial. ‘The Republican Cental Mayoralty Convention as. feombled last evening according appointment, at Atuyvesant Institute, for the noménmtion of six Bu NEW \xORK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1857. ' pervisors, a candidate for the Mayorg!ty and a Gov- ernor of the Almshouse. After the Bpproval of the minutes the Committee on Supervisors reported that thay had the subject under consideration, and asked for further time. This was granted, and the Con- vention adjourned, to meet again on Thursday next, when the Committee will be prepared to report definitely. By the arriva: of the St. Louis we nave news from Nicaragua. The blockade of the San Juan river was still kept up, and the Nicaraguans and Costa Ricans were busily preparing for war. Our despatches from Washington announce the reception by our government of Senor Yrisarvi, as Minister from Nicaragua, and the negotiation of a convention which will set at rest the transit dispute. The transit isto be free to all nations, and the United States is to keep the water open by force of arms if necessary. Some trifling formalities remain to be observed before these important matters attain their full effect, but in a day or two the Minister will have entered upon his functions, and the treaty will have been duly gigned and despatched to Nicaragua in charge of a special envoy. It is stated that Sir William Gore Ouseley is fully commissioned to treat with our government in all matters pertaining to the Ceneral American difficul- ties, including the question of the Mosquito Indian protectorate. We have all sorta of accounts of the proceedings of the Kansas Constitutional Convention, One states that a separate clause to the constitution, broadly sanctioning slavery, will only be submitted to the people for ratification or rejection, while the constitution itself, and the Territorial laws confirmed by it, will remain in full force; another states that a report from the minority of the committee on the constitution was adopted, providing that the question of ratification or rejection should not be submitted to the people: This was done on the 7th inst.; but before the final vote on the adoption of the constitution was taken, the Convention adjourned till the 9th. Another ac- count states that the constitution is to go before the people, and that the election is to take place on the 2ist of December. It will take a day or two to clarify this matter, so as to enable us to see exactly how the constitation stands. General Scott received despatches yesterday from Col. Johnston, confirming the intelligence of the destruction of the government trains on their way to Salt Lake City by the Mormons, the intelligence of which had been previously sent to the govern- ment at Washington by Judge Echolls. Col. John- ston’s despatches are voluminous, and contain a copy of a violent proclamation issued by Brigham Young. Gen. Scott forwarded the substance of the despatches by telegraph to Washington yesterday forenoon. The mail of last night took the original documents to the War Department. From Carson Valley we learn that the Mormons had departed in a body for Salt Lake City. They numbered nearly one thousand souls, of whom only three hundred and fifty were men. Their departure left the remaining inhabitants partly unprotected from the ravages of hostile Indians, and an applica- tion had been made to the ‘Governor of California for assistance. The emigration across the Plains was very large, and we have an account of one party from Missouri and Arkansas, numbering over one hundred persons, having been massacred by the Indians. Our correspondent at Philadelphia says:—The Reading Railroad Company have not assigned, but have left for record a mortgage to Mr. Cullen, Presi: dent, Mr. Norris and Mr. Charles 8. Boker for $7,000,- 000 to secure bonds to be issued for debts. And-it is provided in the mortgage that on the non-payment of the bonds, interest, &c., the trustees may take entire possession of the road. This amounts to an assign- ment at some future day, earlier or later. In the Supreme Court, General Term, yesterday, an appeal came up from Judge Roosevelt's decision on the Lowber claim, made against the Common Conncil and against a written consent of the Corpo- ration Counsel stipulating that the application be denied, but made on the application of the Comp- troller to vacate a judgment against the defendants on the claim of Mr. Lowber against the city for a sale of property. Argument is still pending. An injunction was obtained yesterday by Mr. J. R. Whiting from Judge Davies against the Mayor, &e. of New York, prohibiting them from paying the amount stipulated for the glass ballot boxes. The complaint sets forth that the prices are exorbitant; that Mr. Jollie, who sold them to the city, had no patent for them, and that they could be provided for much less. The contract, however, was made with Mr. Jollie, and in the republican police bill there is a provision that these glass ballot boxes shall be used at the elections. The Collins steamship Adriatic returned from her engineer's trial trip yesterday morning, having tho- roughly satisfied the competent gentlemen on board that she is the fastest steamship afloat. Her great- est speed was eighteen nautical and twenty-one sta- tute miles in one hour and four minutes, using only about two-thirds of her available steam, and about half laden. She is being thoroughly cleansed, and will be prepared for exhibition ina few daya, and sail for Enrope on Saturday. A detailed account of the trip, with a sketch of the proportions and arrange- ments of the vessel, will be found in another column. It will be observed that the much calumaiated en- gines worked admirably. There was & long discussion in the Board of Alder- men last evening upon the proposition to remove the Sound and North river steamboat landings up town. The subject was finally postponed till Mon- day next. ‘The report of the Special Committee appointed by the Board of Councilmen to consider the propriety of regulating the sale of bread by weight was pre- sented at its session last evening, for which see our report of the proceedings. They recommend the sale of bread by weight in four different sized loaves, and that the initials of the sellera be stamped upon each loaf. A memorial of the Women's Protection Emi- gration Society, asking for an appropriation of $3,000 to afford temporary relief to hundreds of worthy un- employed females, and to assist them in emigrating westward, was referred to the Commitiee on Fi- nance. The Board concurred with the Aldermen in recommending the Governors of the Alfnshouse to appoint daily visiters to relieve the suffering poor. At the opening of the Court of Seasions yesterday Mr. Fennio moved for the appointment of a special Distriet Attorney to prosecute an indictment fonnd against Lippincott & Roberts for an alleged keue of fraudulent stock, he affirming that District Attorney Hall purposely refrained from prosecuting it. Coun- sel for the defendants and Mr. Hall gave a statement of the affair, and charged the plaintiffs’ counsel with attempting to compound a felony, and requested the Court to issue a warrant for the arrest of counsel and bis clients. Judge Rossell took the papers, and said he would render his decision this morning. James MeQuinney, a Five Point “ Dead Rabbit,” was convicted of highway robbery, and sent to the State prison for fourteen years and six months. The Grand Jury have indicted Maurice O'Connell, Sailor Dan, James Toole and William Magan, for the mar- der of Teresa Bpitalen, in Greenwich street. The second trial of Michael Cancemi, charged with the murder of officer Anderson on the 21st of duly, was commenced yesterday im the Supreme Court Cirenit, before Jadge Davies. A jury was obtained in the afternoon, and seven witnesses for the prosecution were examined in the evening session, whose testimony was substantially the same ® that given on the first trial. ‘The stock of cotton continued light yesterday, and the market quiet, while prices in the absence of sates were hominal.

Our Wasfington correspondents advise us that the Cabinet has determined to recognise the existing government of Nicaragua and to receive Senor Yrisarri, as Minister; and that, moreover, a treaty fas been privately nego- tiated with that republic, and will be signed at once, placing the whole of the pending ques- tions about the Transit route upon a satisfacto- ry footing. Our correspondents differ some- what as to the terms of the treaty, and we pub- lish their despatches as we have received them, without endeavoring to make them confirm each other. To-morrow or next day we shall probably have further advices in regard tg this important matter, ‘The consummation of this event has no doubt been hastened by the sudden departure of Gen. Walker from New Orleans, as is supposed for the purpose of endeavoring to begin again the war in Central America; and it puts an effee- tive quietus on his claim to the Presidency of Nicaragua, and through this to the plans of the Southern filibusters and fire-eaters in that direction, What effect it will have upon the contending parties who claim to hold grants of the Transit route through Lake Nicaragua we cannot judge until we learn the terms of the new treaty. From information which we pub- lished some time back in relation to this point, we have reason to believe that the government will provide for indemnity and satisfaction to the bona fide American citizens and non-combatants who have been suflerers by the unlawful acts of Nicaragua and her al- lies, and will leave the question of the Transit route grant to the decision of the legal tribu- nals of that republic. Our Washington correspondent’s letter pub- lished yesterday stated that the State Depart- ment had been for some days examining the question of boundary between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and it is not at all improbable that the new treaty is one partaking of an advisa- tory character, and that it is acquiesced in by the British government through Lord Napier and Sir William Gore Ouseley, similar to the Webster and Crampton treaty of 1850. But whether this be the case or not is of little consequence, for Great Britain, with the many irons she has in the fire in the East, is rapidly coming to the conclusion that it will be much better for her and for the interests of het sub- jects to acquiesce in our government taking a leading part in all questions relating to this continent. Whatever course Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet may have determined to pursue in relation to Costa Rica and Nicaragua, will be guided by an eminent sense of justice to those republics, and a high regard for the interests of all commercial nations in securing the peaceful transit of that isthmus. It will, no doubt, have also the effect of con- tributing to the peaceful arrangement of the difficulties now pending’ between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Some light will be thrown on these by a succinct sketch of recent events there, so far as our advices reach. After the capitulation and departure of the filibusters from Rivas, the allied troops with- drew from Nicaragua, with the exception of a few Costa Ricans. Gen. Martinez and Gen. Jerez, then took possession of the government, deposing the pro tem. President, Rivas, and pro- ceeded to call an election by the people. At our latest advices it was pretty well ascertained that Gen. Martinez had received a majority of the popular vote, In the meantime the Costa Rican forces were gradually withdrawn, as the country became organized, and Fort San Carlos, on the San Juan river at its outlet from Lake Nicaragua, was handed over to Nicaragua; but Col. Cauty, with a Costa Rican force, held the lower part of the river and Punta Arenas at its mouth. President Mora being desirous of se- curing from Nicaragua an acknowledgment of the claim of Costa Rica to all the territory on fhe right bank of that river, and to become a participant in the grant of the Transit route, proposed several arrangements to the dual government of Martinez and Jerez. From the complaining and even menacing tone held by the official journals of Costa Rica, and the recent demand for the surrender of Fort San Garlos, made by Col. Cauty immediately on his recent return from San José to the river, it is to be presumed that these negotiations have all fallen through, and that President Mora is desirous of xetling complete possession of the territory, as the best key to ultimate diplomacy with a Spanish Amerigan government. Besides these bickerings Costa Rica has as- sumed a right to cede the privilege of the Transit route, and made what has been known as the Webster and Harris grant to Commodores Morgan and Garrison. From the complaints and accusations of her official organs we learned that at the same time Generals Mar- tines and Jerez made a like grant of the Transit route to an agent of Commodore Vanderbilt. As Commodore Morgan did not comply with the payments etipulated by the Webster and Harris grant, it lapsed; and in view of the fact that Costa Rica «till holds the river and lake steamers and the warehouses at Punta Arenas, Vanderbilt has sent Webster down to Costa Rica, with Allen (his son-in-law) for the purpose of getting anew grant from her. If he suc- ceeds in this, he will probably get possession of the route and the steamers, through the con- sent of both parties there, and will have outstripped all the other divisions of the New York squadron, under the respective commands of Law, Morgan, Garrison and Company, As under the new treaty made at Washingt&f the operations of Walker and Heuningsen, and the Vickerings of Mora and Martizez will be stop- ped, we shall not be at all surprised to see Van- derbjit come out of the fight with flying colore and the spoils of victory. Sefors Molina and Yriearri can now go to work at once and arrange the pending ques tions regarding the epoliation and massacre of our citizens at Virgin Bay, Granada and other places; and the reparation they will have to make for these outrages will be a useful lesson to them and to all the other Spanish American governments, and convince them that although some of our enterprising and ambitious youth accept their invitations to takea part in their eternal intestinesquabbles, our peaceful citizens, who do not do this, are to be respected and their rights recognized. Our government must insist upon this at once, for it is only the certainty of a speedy execution of justice, rather than the penalty of the law, that restrains the evil doer. ‘The Charter Klection—The Real Issue. A number of politicians and merchants are busying themselves in an energetic if not an effective manner with the approaching charter election. A meeting was held in Wall street on Saturday, and committees are meeting three or four times a day for the laudable purpose of dictating to the public whom we shall elect for Mayor. The great argument of these mer- chants and politicians and meetings and com- mittees against Mayor Wood is that the ex- penses of the city are rapidly increasing, and that we ought to havea Mayor who can put them down. It is tacitly assumed in all the anti-Wood documents and manifestoes that the steady increase in our municipal expenditure is the fruit of the prodigality or the corruptness of the Mayor, and that were an honest man put in the place of Fernando Wood lavish éx- penditures would cease, economy would be en- throned in the municipal world, and a new era would dawn for the taxed public. We have no desire to quarrel with one part of these views. We think—as who does not?— that the chief, the only important issue involved in the coming charter election is the financial policy of the city government. Whether or no our money shall continue to be filched; whether the taxes shall continue to be increased at the rate of a million or two a year; whether the proceeds of our enormous taxes shall continue to be stolen from the public treasury by any and every knave who gets the ear of the Com- mon Couneil; these are, in reality, the only questions of consequence which the December election will be required to solve. Thus far all parties are agreed. But when the merchants and politicians go further, and convulse themselves in their agony to clect Mr. This dr Mr. That Mayor in order to curtail expenditures, check taxation, and pro- mote economy, no man can sustain them unless he be clearly satisfied both that the extrava- gance of which all complain emanates from the Mayor's office, and also that it is in the power of the Mayor to check it. Neither, in point of faet, will be found to be the case. No expen- ditures of any consequence originate in the executive department of the city government; and though the Mayor may—and occasionally has, latterly—veto a dishonest contract, it is but rarely that this veto power can be exer- cised to stop a leak, and even when it is, it may be over ridden by a two-third vote. In reality the Mayor has very little todo with the expen- diture of the city moneys. Beyond a few trifling expenses connected with his executive bureau he bas no more authority over the city finances than the Corporation Council or the City Cham- berlain. Tis connection with the municipal funds is for the most part merely formal, and is confined ‘to signing his name on documents pre- pared by the Common Council. It is from that body—the Common Council— and not the Mayoralty department, that the corrupt and wasteful expenditures of which every one complains have always sprung. Asa general rule, of late years, ‘both branches of the Common Council have been composed of persons without character, principle or standing in the community. Respectable men have so often refused either to hold the office of Alder- man or Councilman, or to vote for either, that the post has naturally fallen to the rogues; and they, finding themselves in command of a city with a public expenditure of eight millions, have used the money as their knavery prompt- ed, and robbed us persistently. If the merchants who met, in Wall street, and their friends among the politicians, want to ren- der a real service to the city at this crisis, let them overhaul the nominations for Aldermen and Councilmen. They will find it possible to do some good in this way; people may be loath to vote for this or that rogue who has obtained a nomination for Alderman or Councilman; and a little timely advice may not only save the city from disgrace, but may really tend to check the extravagance which is the leading feature of our city government. Otherwise they will only waste their time and get laughed at. ‘The Theatres Last ‘The severe rain storm last evening kept almost every one in-doors, and the attendance at all the theatres was very small—much below the average of the past two weeks. ‘At the Academy of Music “Lacrezia Porgia’’ was given, with Mme. de La Grange as Lacrezia, Mme. d’Angri as Oreini, Signor Biguardi as Gennaro, and Signor Gassier as Duke Alphonso. The performance was an excellent ove throughout, The audience was more enthusiastic tn ity applanse than ever before during the present season, which has been a series of successes. “Rigoletto” is an nounced for Wednesday and an opera matinée for Thurs- day At the Broadway theatre Mr. Charles Mathews commenced bis second engagement, appearing as Lavater in “Not @ Bad Judge,” and Clouds. ley in “A Practical Man.” Fis performance of these two parts was as light, gay, pleasant and exquisite as ever. Time deals gently with Mr. Ma- thews, and although he acknowledges to baving turned the corner of fifty, he really seems younger than some of our actors who have hardly seen thirty. Mr. Mathews has mastered the great seoret of his art—he so far elaborates details, that he is able to prevent to the audience a per. feetly Ouished picture, 80 admirably done that there ix no appearance of effort in it. An evening in the theatre when Mr. Mathews acta is like dropping in for an hour or two upon sume very agreeable Acquaimtance, #0 entirely does he overcome that dreadful void between the foot lights and the auditorium. We trust that Mr, Mathews ‘Will not leave the metropolis for a long time to come: its only here that his style can be thoroughly apprecisted, and bw efforts Recast, rewarded.

J. Nagie, who has organised @ company of very juvenile, but very ele- ver, comediat The troupe numbers over twenty chil- twelve years of age. They played two light pleces, ueither ambitious nor pretentious, and quite within their capacity. The consequence was an entire and deserved euccess.

Nicaragua has been recognized, and its Ministor, Mr. Yrissarri, was received at noon to-day. Tho reception took place privately. A treaty with that State, which is a satisfactory onc, is also nogotiated, and will be signed so ‘800n as properly translated and transcribed, ‘This will be accomplished in a day or two, and probably aa early as to-morrow. Tho Transit companies are ignored in tho document. Owing to some hitch in the arrangement, there is to be another reception to-morrow—a more formal one. SECOND DESPATCH. Wasaincton, Nov. 16, 1857. Gen, Walker was checkmated to-day. A treaty has been made by the administration with Nicaragua. The treaty ‘was signed by the Prosident at one o'clock to-day, and Yris- sarri was received at the White House about two o'clock. ‘The following are some of the points in the treaty:— The Transit route to be thrown open to all nations on the same terms, The United States pledges itsolf to maintain a sufficient military and naval force there to keep it open, and to oc- cupy it immediately. Our government to seize Walker whorever they can find him and bring bim back to the United States. The lake boats to be transferred to the new Transit Company, of which Joe White isa party. This arrango- ment has the approval of the English and French Ministers. A special envoy will, probably, be sent with this treaty on the 20th inst. A minister will shortly be appointed for Nicaragua, who will go out with Sir Wm. Gore Ouseley. Judge Rose, formerly of Texas, and Col. Hughes, of Mary- land, are spoken of in connection with the appointment. |, It was ascertained, after arranging all the preliminaries, that Yrissarri, instead of being Charge d’ Affairs, is Minis- ter Plenipotentiary from Nicaragua. Therefore he will be formally presented to morrow at two o'clock, when the Cabinet are all prescnt. ‘The treaty was signed to-day. THIRD DESPATCH. Wasmnoron, Noy. 16, 1857. There is little if any doubt that the treaty long sinco proposed between the United States and Nicaragua was signed to-day atthe State Department by General Cass and Senor Yr i. ‘The Tranait route is to be protected by United States troops in the event of Nicaragua being unable to do so ix consequence of foreign invasion, civil insurrection, or other domestic causes; but with the return of peace the troops are to be withdrawn. Itis further said that a “free port” is guaranteed at each end of the line.
