Merchants and others will thus have ample time to answer letters received by the Niagara, whose mails reached this city trom Boston early last even- ing, and will be ready for distribution at the usual hour this morning. In Congress yesterday the seasion of the Senate was mainly devoted to the consideration of private claims. Some fifty private billa were passed, none of them, however, of any public interest. A bill for the removal of the revenue building at the Qua- rantine, Staten Island, was referred to the Committee on Commerce. A resolution to print sixty thousand extra copies of the Patent Office agricultural report was adopted. The report of the Atrato surveying expedition was presented. Lieut. Craven, the chief of the expedition, is of opinion that the proposed canal across the Isthmus of Darien is impracticable, involving expenditures not easily estimated, and a sacrifice of life from which the stoatest heart may shrink. At least two generations must pass away before the world could realize the completion of a much less extensive work than that contemplated. ‘The House wasted the day in a frivolous partisan contest upon the report of the Committee on Elec- tions admitting Messrs. Phelps and Cavanaugh to seats as members from Minnesota. No definite action was taken on the subject. The European mails to the 8th inst., brought by the Niagara, reached this city last evening. ‘In ad- dition to some extracts from our English files, we publish this morning an interesting letter from our special correspondent at Plymouth, containing im- portant information with reference to the Atlantic telegraph cable. It will be seen that while the paying out apparatus constracted by Mr. Everett, of our navy, is pronounced by the English engineers to be just the machinery required, Mr. Hughes, our ingenious inventor and electrician, has succeeded in transmitting currents of electricity through twenty-six hundred miles of the cable without diffi- culty, thereby solving satisfactorily » problem that had baffied the science of the company’s electricians, and one that had rendered the ultimate success of the telegraph enterprise, even’ though the cable had been stretched across the ocean, a matter of great uncertainty. We have advices from Rio Janeiro to the 17th ult. ‘The papers are discussing the suggestions made by Mr. Meade, our Minister, in his address to the Em- peror when delivering his credentials, and proposi- tions for the encouragement of emigration from Eu- rope to Brazil by grants of bounty and land. No mention is made of fever prevailing in the port. The Coffee market was active. Between the 17th of March and the 13th of April 97,000 bags of coffee were ship- ped to the United States. We havo files from Turks Island to the 21st ult., but the papers do not contain a word of local news of any interest in this quarter. We have advices from the French West India islands dated at Guadaloupe and Martinique on the 20th of March:—A ship from Cayenne, the Aleyon, which conveyed to the colony 370 old immigrants from the coast of Africa, arrived at Martinique on that day. She is about 350,tons burthen, and lost bat six of her passengers during the voyage from Africa to Cayenne. Letters from Guadaloupe give some details regarding the ship (the Stella), lately mentioned as having introduced 800 African labor ers into that island. It appears that she took that number on board before leaving the coast, but only landed 647 at Guadaloupe, having lost 153 during the passage. The Stella is a screw steamer, but it is stated in letters from Point-ao-Petre that her fuel Tell short, and she was consequently 36 days out. Adding 80 deaths which occurred by accident after her arrival at Guadaloupe, the average must be al lowed to be a fearful one. charged by Judge Russell, with thanks for the Prompt performance of their duties. The jury failed to agree in determining the guilt or innocence of Catherine Long, charged with stealing @ watch and The managers of the “(.Swan & Oo.” lottery scheme have been indicted at Augusta, Ga., through the efforts of Mayor Tiemann, and all the owners and parties concerned have been arrested, with the exception of Benjamin Wood, of this city, and George P. Eddy, of Georgia, who are, it is alleged, parties. A full account of the modus operandi of this movement,and other interesting facts connected with it, may be found elsewhere in our columns. ‘The steamer Bay State, on her passage from Fall thousand dollars bail, committed to answer any in- dictment which may be found against him. The cotton market was active yesterday, with a firmer feeling. The sales for the day footed up ebout 3,000.0 4,000 bales, closing on the basis of 1840. 12%0. for middlieg uplands. Flour was again heavy and lower, especially for superfine and common grades, while sales ‘were fair, chiefly to the domestic trade, with some pur- chases for export. Wheat was in fair activity, with sales of about $5,(C0 a 80,000 bushels at rates given in another place. Corn was steady, with sales of Southern white at ‘18c. a 74c.; Western prime sound mixed sold at 740.0 ‘T6c., and yellow at 76c. a 760. Northern rye sold at 100. Pork was firmer and more active, with sales of mess at $17 75a $17 86, afterwards held at $18; prime sold at $14 35. Sugars were firmer and active; the sales embraced about 1,500 bhds., including Cuba and Porto Rico, and 160 do, molado, at rates given im another column. The general Dewspaper telegraph despatch received yesterday from New Orlesns, in giving am account of the Havana market, brooght to that port by the Cahawba, stated that “sugars were dull.” Several tolegraph despatches received yee- terday by leading bouses in the trade in this city relative to the Havana sugar market, brought to New Orleans by the Cahawba, wore directly the reverse. They reported the market active and higher, showing an advance of 5s ths of a real, and quoted No. 12 at 8% reals; and the sale Of TCO bhde. good refining eugars was advised toa house bere at 8 reals. Coffee was quiet; 300 mats of Java were sold at 18c. Freights were firm, but engagements were moderate, as supplies of grain were in reduced supplies. ‘Wanted Immediately. The outrages upon our commerce by the British cruisers in the Galf and about the coast of Cuba, and the recent insults to our flag and violations of the rights of our citizens in other parts of the world, have suddenly worked the public mind up to the point of demanding some immediate and energtic action on the part both of Congress and the administration. An enumeration of a part of the cases only which call for some immediate naval demon- stration is startling indeed. A British gunboat at our very doors has boarded and insulted within twenty-one days twenty-one of our ves- sels, firing into the most of them. At Hayti our Consul is insulted and imprisoned. In St. Demingo the two parties are blockading each other and chasing our ships, In Paraguay we are fired upon and insulted. Chile capturesone of our vessels with impunity and laughs at our Minister. In Panama a ship is constantly re- quired to protect American lives and treasure passing through there. At nearly every port ou the west coast of Mealco the young trade of our California possessions is plundered and our Consuls insulted. Tampico is the scene of American claims for reparation to the amount of two or three hundred thousand dollars, For these emergencies, most of which come within the duty of our Home squadron, we have half a dozen old tubs, called frigates, and two or three little dippers, called brigs, that may possibly be fit for service. In addition to this we send a minister to China, now the tcene of most active interest the world pre sents; and although we have hammered it into the blockheads of Congress for years that nothing but small craft should be sent to China and Australasia, Mr. Reed is despatched with a long series of instructions in # ship that cannot get into any desirable port; and the result is he is tired of diplomacy at long range, and about to come home in disgust. The simple truth is that our navy isa humbug as it is at present constitated, and the officera, having nothing else to do, were forced from sheer lack of vessels to feed upon each other through a Star Chamber court on one side, and half a dozen courte of inquiry on the other, as a cor- rective. Under these disadvantageous clroumstances Mr. Buchanan has done all that man could do. He bas sent the Colorado to St. Domingo, to pro- tect our Consul; the Fulton to Tampico, to shield our vessels there; the Pacific Commodore to look into Chile; the Wabash to Cuba, to look after the Styx (we hope she may catch her); and be is now left with an old rotten one gun brig, that has been discovered in an out of the way corner of the Boston Navy Yard, to constitute a fleet to demand an apology from Paraguay, send to the China seas, look after the St. Do- mingo blockade, run down the west coast of Mexico, and have a small equadron left for new emergencies. Some old fogy in Congress may say to us in reply to these facte—But we are going to pass a bill soon authorizing the construction of mx small steam sloops. We are rejoiced to hear it; and we now call upon the Chairman of the Naval Committee to report that bill at once; and we farther call upon Hon. John Cochrane to propose as an immediate amendment to the bill the insertion after the word six, of the letters ty, #0 that the bill shall read sixty small ‘team sloops. We shall want them all before they are constructed. When England found herself in tight place in the Baltic daring the late war, she ordered » large number of these craft to be built. In six months from the giving of the order Queen Victoria reviewed a mos- quito fleet in the British Channel that command- ed the admiration of the world. Peace came. The moaquito fleet was to be housed. Before the houser could be built a dozen were required for China, then another dozen for India, then smother dosen for Cabe. To the surprise of every one they are the most active, serviceabie, economical and terrible ships that have ever floated. Let as suppose for @ moment that we had been at war with England. In three weeks the little one gun Styx—a ten inch gun, it is true— would have captured twenty-one vessela We send s sixty gun frigate after her, which is the only ship we have <at can possibly take her, The little vixen lays off ot fod? mile range NEW YORK RERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1858, fing and hulls the old sixty gam fogy with a tea inch ehell plump at every ebot, and then runs into shoal water and ba at her, Hven sup pore rhe is canght, we onty captured one gun and thirty men, while there are a hundred of them stinging our commerce and lining their own pockets with prise. money daily. The re- ult we have achieved is about equal to that of catehing one mosquito in the swamps of Louisi- ana, and we shoald have about as muoh trouble catehing the one as the other, We are behind the age. Our navy has gone to teed. We may have a war with England before the end of the year if Lord Derby dees not at once stop these outrages. Paraguay must be looked after; our Home equadron must be made effeo- tive; small vessels must be had for China and a hundred other pointe; and in doing this we must economise and cut down our expenses to meet the hard times. This can only be done by building a large number of swift amall steam- ers, armed with one twelve or thirteen inch oo- Inmbiad each. Our shipbuilders are now all out of employment, and will build them before December. Our naval officers, who are now storming the Navy Department with solicita- tions for employment in active service, will have a chance to rub off their rust. Our com- merce will at once feel safe, and our flag be reepeoted in every sea. Let Congress give us sixty, not six, steam sloops at once. Exxcrion Movements.—The Seward republi- cans of this State, and the Know Nothings around Buffalo under the immediate influence of Mr. Fillmore and General Gastavas Adolphus Soroggs, are actively moving to seoure a fusion of the opposition elements of the commonwealth againat the “slave oligarchy,” and the policy of the administration in their behalf, as illus- trated in the attempt to “thrust an obnoxious constitution upon the people of Kansas.” We perceive, too, that the republicans of Pennayl- vania have issued a call for a State Convention on the 8th of July, and their invitation includes “the citizens of Philadelphia and of the several counties of the commonwealth opposed to the ‘Lecompton swindle’ and the despotic policy of the national administration in forcing upon the people of Kansas a constitution in defiance of the known wishes, and in subversion of the great right of self government, and in favor of a sound American policy in opposition to the policy and intrigues of foreign governments.” Now, while with regard to the “Lecompton swindle’ we apprehend that the game of the agitators is substantially “ played out,” we con- fees that this new opposition flank of “a sound American policy in opposition to the policy and intrigues of foreign governments,” com- pletely puzzles us. Does it mean the dark Jan- tern or the annexation of Caba?—or a high protective tariff or free trade? We ehould like to know. Meantime, while Mr. Seward and Mr. Fillmore are plastering over their old wounds, and patching up a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, on their new Buffalo platform, we have more important matters to look after, somewhat nearer home. The public epoils and plunder of the Corpo- ration, including the pickings and stealings, have accumulated to the grand aggregate of about ten millions a year. We have tried and proved the utter rottenness of owr existing po- litical parties—demoorats, republicans, Know Nothings and all. The game with each and all of them is to secure the spoils, and to fleece and plunder city treasury and our tax- payers to ‘ie te of endurance. We are certainly near to that point now for ® general movement fhe taxpayers in self- defence. If they will not act for thomselves, they must be content with the continued rule of election bruisers, Jeremy Diddlers, Peter Fanks and low degree. There is no alternative. But the rogues may be turned adrift, and honest men may be put in their places, through the organization of a new and independent party— the citizens’ party or the taxpayers’ party, for example. What say the taxpayers? A public meeting or two will put the movement in full blast. Partisan Conpuct or Tie Crnrrat Park Commusstonens.—A few days ago we took occa- tion to comment upon the partisan conduct of the black republican majority of the Central Park Commirsioners in removing the Chief Engineer, Mr. Viele—aguinst whose competence and fidelity there had been no charges made—and appointing in his place a gentleman of known republican affinities, who is not an engineer, but into whose hands the Commissioners have nevertheless en- trusted all the duties of chief engincer, ander the new title of “Architect-in-Chief.” To-day we publish the speech of one of the Commis- sioners—Mr. Thomas C. Fields—at the last meet- ing of the Board, denouncing this act, and ex- stands in regard to those five thousand dollars, according to the presentation of the case, Mr. Thurlow Weed testified that on March ae forwarding the paamage of the yal Perey election, too, that was lost—and two thousand for tariff arguments add statistics Smoke an old rat out of his hole, and how sheepish ho looks, Thurlow, you are smoked out, aud the | SS Om Gus ey aoe and swindlers, cheats and rogues, of high | Tus Care anv Bosriep Livan Cass—Move- ment FoR THE Formarion or 4 TaxParuns’ Exxcrora, Ozganmarion.—The prosecution instituted against Mr. Carr has exvited a strong pee ease sentiment of indignation amongst the taxpay- ee nae: ers of our city. They feel that this gentloman reece: has been made the victim of his efforts in their defence, and they are naturally desirous that he shall be indemnified for whatever expenses he may have been pat to. There is, however, involved in this case something more than a feeling of gratitude towards the maa who has devoted himeelf to the exposure of the iniquitous system by which the taxes of the city are raised to more than s third of the amount which its necessities call for. It is the fact that the preeent corporate system is one of wholesale spoliation, and that if it be permitted to con- tinne any longer it must lead either to a vio- lent revolution or to the rapid depopulation of our city. It is not by a subscription to aid Mr. Carr in his defence of the taxpaying interest that the actions of the La Crosse and Milwaukie Railroad Company in connection with a certain land grant from Congress, exhibits one of the eom- pletest speolmens of wholesale bribery and oor- ruption which this epoch of official knavery and official rogues can furnish from any quarter. It has beem proved (and we have already pub- lished the specifications and the price paid for each man) that full one half the members of the immaculate Wisconsin Legislature were “bribed, bought up and paid for,” im the bonds of the aforesaid railroad, and in consideration of the REMOVAL OV BUILDONGS MP THE NEW YORE QUARAIENE BB ‘Mr. Sawasp, (opp.) of M.

It is not right, however, that the inhabitants of a great city like this should leave to indi- viduals the defence of their interesta. When such a epirit of ungenerous dependence is ex- hibited, it may be assumed as certain that indi- viduals will profit by it. Recent disclosures are awakening the attention of our citizens to these truths, and we look upon the develope- ments made in the Carr and Busteed case as the crowning facts of asystem to which no other parallel can be found in the history of munici- pal abuses. But it is not through isolated efforts like those of Mr. Carr that this system is to be broken down. Aid yourself and heaven will aid you, isa proverb as old as humanity itself. If the tax- payers of the city do not unite in defence of their own interests it will be impossible to over- turn the corrupt influences that are arrayed against them. It is only by a well organized and strenuous effort that they can root out the tribe of vultares and leeches who are preying for a share of the spoils. This is one example of the sweeping corrup- tions resulting from these railroad land jobs of Congress. We dare say that if all the facts were known in reference to the passage through Congress of each and all of these land jobs, the catalogue of briberies and corruptions, insiders and outsiders, at Washington, would transcend these Wisconsin disclosures as far as the stench of a whole field of dead animals exceeds the aroma from a single carcasa, As the old cocks crow the young ones learn; and some of the new States of the West are proving themselves the aptest of apt scholars in the lobby rogue- ries and rascalities of Washington, Albany and New York.

Lieat. Craven's report against the feasibility of building ‘® canal across the Isthmus of Darien was transmited to the Senate this morning. From the report |; is evident eagineermg science must make a great advaace before their views. When gentlemen like Mr. Carr are found willing to sacrifice their time and their means to the public interests, no community has a right to complain of the absence of patriotism on the part of ite members. With nambers, money and candidates at hand, the taxpaying interest of the city is therefore in a position to form a party which can overpower and control allothere. It requires but anion and earnest- ness of purpose to effect this organization; and it will bean eternal reproach to the indepen- dent public sentiment of our city If, after the patriotic example set by Mr. Carr, no steps are taken to carry out the reforms which his disclo- sures have shown to be #o urgently necessary.

Upon laying the question of the legality of Swan & Co.’sconcern before the Attorney General there, it was found that Mayor Tiemann’s surmises were correct. A special grand jury was at onoe summoned, and indictments found against Meears. Swan & Eddy, of Augusta, and Benja- min Wood, of New York, (proprietors of the establishment,) two clerks of the concern, named Lathrop and Kédy, and two other parties acting as commissioners, named Barber and Dugas All the parties then in Augusta were arrested and held to bail in heavy sums.
