The news from Utah via California is confirmatory of that which we have already published from our correspondents at the camp of the expedition. There seems little reason to doubt that the Mormons are vacating their northern settlements, the object being to avoid contact and intercourse with the troops, of whose entrance into their valleys there seems now no longer any doubt on their minds, Several parties who have passed through the Terri- tory on their way to California make very serious charges aga the Mormons. We publish in to- éay’s paper Gov. Camming’s official despatch to the Secretary of State, giving the particulars of his visit to Great Salt Lake City and his reception by the Mormons there. The news from California is not of special interest. The recently discovered gold diggings on Frazer and ‘Thompson rivers corttinued to attract attention. All accounts agree as to the abundance of gold there, and number? in every section of California were pre- paring to remove to the new mining grounds. The quality of the ore is precisely similar to that of Cali- fornia. The Star of the West brought $1,446,175 in treasure. The San Francisco market exhibited no material change, though the expected arrival of a number of vessels from Eastern and foreign ports had contributed to restrict the demani for various articles. ‘We bave dates from Oregon to the Sth, and from | Washington Territory to the 2th ultimo, The | news is unimportant, the local papers being taken up with accounts from the Frazer river mines, and discussing the best routes to reach them—each claim- ing for its own Territory the preference. Occasional | Indian outbreaks are taking place, and fears are | sometimes entertained of a serious rising amon the tribes. Onr files from New Granada are dated at Panama | on the $d of June. No news of importance had been | received from Bogota, and the reports of a revolu. | tionary outbreak at that place were looked on as i} unfounded. There is no mention made in the papers of the Case-Herran treaty. The weather was ex- ceedingly wet at Panama. The British ship-of-wur Teopard had arrived at Aspinwall from the Relize. The British war steanier Retribution, 28 guns, ar- rived from Callao on the 30th of April, bound to China. There is no news of importance from Central Auerica. We have news from the South Pacific dated at La Paz, Bolivia, 28th, and Valparaiso 30th of April, and at Calloa 12th ult. Severe measures were being taken by the executive of Bolivia against revolation- ists. The press was completely silenced. General Belzu’s arrival was looked for by the opponents of President Linares. Chile wasat peace, after the ex- citement of the elections. Government would have majority in the Legislature. Emigrants from the ‘Tyrol were expected to come as settlers in the re- public. There was little of interest trans- piring in Peru. President Castilla had issued the necessary orders for the election of a President, Vice President and members of Congress, to hold office for eight years. The fears of his own assumption of a dictatorship were thus dispelled. The contest for President would lie between Castilla and Senor Do- mingo Hlias, whose political education was com- pleted in Paurope. Trade was dall in Callao, Lima was visited by « severe earthquake shock on 11th of May. \ We have papers from the Sandwich Islands dated at Honolulo on Ist of May, but they do not contain any news. The Legislature was convoked to meet onlithJune. ‘The British war steamer Vixen, Capt. Moore, sailed for Tahiti and Valparaiso on the 2¥th of April. On the same day the King entertained Captain Moore and several of his officers, with other gests, at Janch, during which a great many kind fe s were expressed. \ccotding to the report of the City Inspector there were 401 deaths in the city during the past week, an increase © as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 48 more than occurred during the corresponding period of last year. The following table exhibits the number of deaths daring the past week among adults and children, distinguishing the bexes: — By Men. Women me. “iris, Total.

Both houses have worked in- dustriously for the past week, but it is regarded as probable that au extension of the session beyond Monday noon will be necessary in order to complete the important public basiness requiring action before the Gual adjourment. The steamer Empire City arrived at the mouth of the Mississippi on Friday from, New York and Ha- vana, She reports speaking the United States steamer Fulton on the 7th, and again on the 9th inst., cruising off Havana to intercept the British ship of war Devastation, said to have on board orders for the British squadron to stop the boarding of American vessels. The Water Witch left Havana on the 9th for theeastward. ‘he Arctic hud not arrived at Havana up to the 9th. The British steamer Styx was hourly.expected at Havana. The rain storm which commenced on Friday af- ternoon, continued to rage violently all day yester- day, accompanied by a heavy wind from the north- east. The excessively warm weather of the earlier part of the week rendered this fluvial visitation wel- come at first, as it cooled the air and cleansed our filthy streets; but its continuance over yesterday is rather too much of a good thing. It has spoiled the visit of the “ Boston Tigers,” brought dack clothes again into fashion, and upset the calculatious of those who had determined to turn out today ina new summer rig. This storm extends far to the West, and throughout the country there has been far too much wet weather for the corn crop. Thousands of fields are reported to be rotting: and should the present weather continue, the injury will be very serious. The excessive rain of yesterday did much damag' omg the docks and in the cellars bordering on the rivers. In many places the sewers were so full as to overflow, aod the rivers were unusually high. We will doubtless soon hear of freshots in the interior. Owing to the storm the outward bound steamers Glasgow, Northern Light, Charleston and Florida did not leave port. The Sound steamers left at tdeir usual hour. The Boston Light Infantry arrived in the city yesterday morning, and were received by the New York Light Guard as their guests. They were quar- tered at the Lafarge House, and in the afternoon visited Randall's island. A full account of their doings will be found elsewhere. The counsel for Cancemi, the Italian, charged with the murder of policeman Anderson, yesterday suggested the withdrawal from the jury of Mr. Muller, the person whom the rag picker witness im- plicated in an attempt to induce him to leave the country by offers of money. The suggestion was adopted by the prosecution, and the trial was pro- ceeded with. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, John Tyler, alias Crawford, pleaded guilty to grand lar- ceny, aud was sent to the penintentiary for two years by Judge Russell. Paul Hernandez, indicted for the murder of his wife, and convicted of man- slaughter in the third degree, was sentenced to four years imprisonment in the State prison—the highest penalty the law allowed. The Recorder observed that he had no doubt but that the prisoner intended to kill his wife, and that ‘different members of the inry had said overtions of th City Judge vacate an order made by him ,to stay the prosecution of an indictment against ex-Alder- man Smith (now deceased) and others, for an alleged fraudulent issue of stock by the Gold Hill to the general government. opposition. principally directed to the catching of cod and mackerel, have always been an object of interest to cur government, and since the year 1793 es- pecially have been the subject of protective le- gislalion. maritime vations ; of the English, Freach, Portu- guese, Spanish and Dutch, all of whom have navies, and those of the two former have be- came formidable by the prosecution of it.

The Fishery Bounties. The Seuate has passed a bill repealing the ex: isting acts by which bounties are given to the owners of versels of certain capacity engaged ia the fisheries. It is considered to have been doxe out of an ill feeling towards tae State of Massachusetts, which is largely engaged in the business, in consequence of its hostile position It will not proba- bly pass the Houee; certainly not without great Our Atlantic fisheries, which are This policy has been that of most 1783—these fisheries were made leading features in the negotiations between France and Eagland, and were afterwards, in 1814 and 1815, referred fo, and permanently settled by the treaties of Paris in the last mentioned years. In the treaty of peace with Great Britain in 1783 our right was secured to fish on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Lawrence, and all other places in the sea where the inhabitants of both countries used at any time to fish, and also on the coasts, bays and crecks of all the other British dominions in America, and to cure and dry fish in any of the unsettled bays, harbors and creeks of Nova Scotia, Magdalen Islands and Labrador, so long as they remained that, without the consent all other banks the Gulf of St. and in the ground. The business, however, was not successful, and in 1790 Mussachusetts made a representation to the general government of its embarrassed condition, which subsequently led ; government from doing what at length \bey had intended to du—open the business to # mucb larger extent tor American fishermen. Lord Stanley was driven off his ground, and nothing waa dope except to relax the rule so tur as related to the Bay of Fundy. Onr fisheries bave, therefore, been conducted ander very great disadvantages since the war of i812, avd in all probability would have been sestroyed but for the bounties which have beea continued from time jo time for their en- wuragement, As late as 1852 the British au- bomties of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Seotia again wade loud complaints to the home government ageinst our fisnermen, demanded the presence ‘of a large naval force to drive them off, ficted out vessels at their own expense, avd cbisined from the Earl of Derby, (then at he bead of affeirs,) bis assurance that he would inke care of the colouial interests, And thus he matter remains. We have in the cod fishery abont one bundred thousand tous, mostly owned in Massachusetts, That Stute built, in 1856, eighty-four ehips and barks, niaeteen brige, thirty-five schooners, one sloop and four eteam- ers; Virginia built one ebip, nine schooners, ‘birteen eloops and canal boats, and six steam- ere only ; North Curoliae twenty-two schooners, four sloops and canal boats, aud two -teamere; South Carolina two schooners, one sloop or canal boat, aud oue steamer ; Georgia, one ship, one schooner and four steam ers; Florida, two schooners; Alabama, one ship, five schooners, one sloop and five steamers; Mississippi, five schooners, two sloops and no steamers; and Louisiana, niae schooners and ten steamers. We can thus sce where our com- mercial astivity is greatest in the shipyards, comparing Massachusetts with the States which ure most opposed to the protection of the fish- eries, and which of the States named contribute mest to the revenues of the country. This should have its weight, even with the South. But the fishery question is really a national ore, and should be so cousidered. We have two hundred and seventy-four thousand seamen in our commercial navy. The best acd har- diest of these men, and the greatest number, come from the commercial Northern States. The fisheries are the very best school for them that we have, and require to be kept up quite as much as the army and navy. The day may come—as it has come once before—that the honor of our naval flag will have to be sustained by these very persons, commanded perhaps by Southern officers, and the eons of the mea who are now attempting to desiroy the uureeries of the navy. We do not enter into the details which the Treasury documents furnieh of the value of these fisheries to the country in dollars and cents, We leave these to the etatisticians. But it is evident that the policy of all maritime na- tions has been to encourage this branch of their national industry. We have acquired great profit, and great glory too, by a similar one; aud we trust that the House, laying aside all petty prejudices and sectional feelings, will act on this question solely for the public good.

This alarmed even the independents, and caused division in their ranks. There might have beea anceessity of protecting the citizens in their exercise of the right of suffrage on the day of election, but there could have been none for taking poesesston of the city by an unlawful and revolutionary force. Such » proceeding under a republican and democratic government was wrong; and it was a greater wrong to carry it out for days before any possible contingency could arise. This it no doubt was that alarmed the citizens of New Orleans and kept them away from the polis, if in fact they did stay away from them, . : On this, as on every other point in relation to this excitement at New Orleans, the tele- graphic reporter for the associated press has been singularly inefficient. He seems never to have comprehended the points of the move- ment or the great issues which it involved, and to have been singularly remiss in reporting the facts. Even now we do not know the num- ber of votes cast by the respective parties—a fact which would throw much light upon the affair, This movement of the independent taxpayers of New Orleans has thus been headed off by rash counsels, and it will be a lesson for them in the futire. They should have learned wisdom from the events of our last city clec- tion, In that the most effective argument against Fernando Wood was his foolish and agrarian flour metsage, and the wide-spread suspicion that the “ hunger” meetings last win- ter were secretly got up and stimulated by him for political purposes. This killed him. But had his opponents got up an illegal military organization, he would have undoubtedly been elected by default of the taxpaying voters, as has been the case with Mayor Stith in New Orleans. More Corroration Fuavps.—The report of the Collector of Assessmenta, submitted to the Common Council by the Sireet Commissioner at their last meeting, and published in our columns yesterday, opeus a new chapter in the history of the financial affairs of this mirgoverned city. In such a conéition had his preéecessor and his deputies left the accounts of the office of. Collector of Arsessmonts that the present incumbent is wholly unable to teu how much of the assessments collected has been paid over to the City Chamberlain, and how much bas gone into the pockets of the officials or elsewhere. He reports, however, eeveral large defigits in certain sume paid to the iate Colles- tor by his deputies, and not credited to them, nor paid by him to the Chamberlain, amounting in one case to about $35.000; and in others te various smaller sums, and making a total of about $144,000 due to the treasury. The data for this calculation he fouod ia the reture books of the deputies and in the Collector's ledger. The condensers of some of the depe- ties have been carried off; co that the Collector avows tbat he cannot tell how many more de- ficits there may be from January 1, 1856, te May 1, 1858. The late Collector, it appears, deposited with the Chamberlain $372.000 col- lected on assessments confirmed betore his tera of office began, upon which the former incum- bents claim the commission, though they never collected the money. Again, it seems that the liens on a great deal of property upon which the assessments have becn paid long ago, have not been discharged from the re- cord, greatly to the inconvenience of property holders, who cannot effect a sale while this incumbrance appears on their property. Such a villanous system as this is a disgrace to any public office. In view of such facts, we cannot wonder that the taxes are increasiag at the present enormous rate. Ia all probability twelve millions will hardly cover the taxation of this year ; and they will continue to increase in the same ratio until the taxpayers take the management of the city out of the hands of alt political factions. Those taxpayers, to what- ever party they belong—whether Americans, re- publicans, or either of the two democratic or- ganizations—who allow their prejudices in favor of their own faction to contrel them, to the in- jury of the whole body of property owners, are making a grievous mistake, for which they will bave to pay heavily out of their pockets. The government of the city is now in the hands of men, the majority of whom pay no taxes and have no stake in the community. We referred the other day to the office holders under the Corporation, but a small part of whom pay taxes; by a glance at the list for 1857 we bow obeerve that a mejority of both boards of Tue Evipesce is Canxcem’s Case.—It ap- peared on Friday, fromthe evidence given on the trial of Cancemi for the murder of the po- liceman Anderson, that one of the counsel for the defence, and a juryman now sitting in the case, Frederick Muller, offered an essential wit- ness, the rag picker Mutthias Louth, $2,500, then $2,800, and finally $3,000 to leave the country and go to California, so as not to be able to give evidence against the prisoner. If this story be true, it may well attract indignant attention from the public at large. If the rag picker Louth told the truth, the attempt made to bribe him by a man who after- wards turns up as @ jaryman in the case sheds a ray of valuable Iignt on the failure of crimi- nal justice in this country. If persons who were #0 devotedly attached to culprits as to offer $3,000 to essential witnesses to keep out of the way, can contrive to have themselves ad- the sixteen Aldermen only seven pay taxes, and of the twenty-three Councilmen only nine. The disposal of the money of the treasury is at the control of these bodies; and the majority at least, if not all of them, should have some stake in the city, and contribute to create the fun they disburse. If the taxpayers canset organ ize an independent party in time for the next election, with a ticket of their own, they can, at all events, select the best men from the other tickets and support them. And these men should, in all cases, be owners of property and taxpayers. It ‘is absurd aud mischievous to give the disbursement of the public moneys to set of men who have no stake in the comma- nity. the Common Council are non-taxpayers, Of & bw me te Nee ae en - ee. . we: eons Ee Ate ee ene » a to the passage of acts allowing a drawback on | imported salt, and a bounty of several dollars per ton on certain classes of small vessels which | were actually engaged in the fishery for four | months in the year.

The secret of the disagreement of juries is at once discovered. Whatever ulterior measures may be taken to ferret out the truth of this matter and to punish prices. A moderate business was done in flour, while prices were in the main unchanged, the lower grades closing dull. Wheat was in fair demand, and firm for prime lots: while the sales (chilly Western grown) om- braced about 30, a 40,000 bushels, at prices given in another piace.

The sales of sugars embraced about 600 hhde. aad 3% boxes, at fall prices. Coffee was quiet. Freights wore quite steady, while engagements were mo-terate and rates were without change of moment. To Rotterdam, 3,000 bbis. rosin were engaged at 28. 0d. To Liverpoul—Grain, four and provisions were molerately taken. Commercial Results, as Seen tn the Clearing House Reports. A report from the Bank Clearing House of this city shows in bold relief the effect of the late revulsion upon the commerce of the coun- try, and the rate at which that commerce is re- viving. The report covers a period of time equal to two years; and may be considered as a most valuable codicil to, or commentary upon, the trade and commercial statistics published annually by the government. .

Here was «an increase of $200,000,000, say thirty-three per cent in twelve months: an increase not at all justified by the condition of the country, the lower figure (that of June, 1556), being itself quite a high average.

At the treaty of Ghent nothing was said about these fisheries any more than about the right of search, and the consequence was that & new construction was put upon the treaty of 783 by the British government, which they considered had been abrogated in its effect by the war, and the rights of fishing under it had been lost. Indeed, it took the position that they could not be restored without an equiva- lent, and they actually expected in that shape the right of navigating the Mississippi. Though some of our commissioners were willing to con- code this rather than lose the fisheries, fortu- nately for this country, the majority was not. It was during this unsettled state of things that our veesels, proceeding to fish as usual be- fore the war, were ordered off the coasts and some of them were captured by the Britich cruisers. ‘This of course aroused our government to ac- tion, and negotiations ensued which ended in the convention of IIs at London, where our rights to the joiat fisheries were restored, with Nova Scotians, in order to keep off the Yankees, objected to their entering aay of the bays or in- dentations of the coast, and contended that the three miles were to be measured from the head- lands, or extreme pointe; and taking the law into their own hands, the Colonial authoritios actually seized some of our vessels for fishing within the headlands, though actually three miles from the land. Mr. Stevenson, our Minister at St. James, under instructions, complained of these proceedings, and after a good deal of diplomacy, dodging, and examining of the treatics, the Brisish minis- try reaffirmed the declaration that the war had put an end to the treaty of 1785, that our should be measured, insirted that the line should and the rule. In 1845 the subject was pretty fully discussed, but the Blue Noses being again exceedingly irate at the Yan ees, succeeded in preventing the home lies southward into Sonora. Secondly, the Mor- mons in Sonora or Chihuahua would afford a perfect barrier of protection to the Mexican settlements of those States against the fierce Apaches and Camanche. At present those border Mexican States, for hundreds of miles from our boundary, are completely at the mercy of the Indians, and have been almest depopu- lated by them from time to time. We hope, too, that our administration, instead of inter- posing any obstacles to this movement of the Mormons into Mexico, will rather encourage it: for in the event of their absorption, with the an- nexation of another slice of our sister republic, they can be readily transferred still farther southward. We do trust, therefore, that our government will not only permit, but encourage | the exodus of the Mormons en masse into Mexico, even to the extent of a treaty with the Mexican government, should that be required. ee Ocean Man.
