Inthe Liverpool market all kinds of Ameri- By the arrival of the steamship Moses Taylor at this port yesterday from Aspinwall, we have re- ceived interesting news from all parts of our Pacific possessions, and also from Central America and the South Pacific. Fall details are given in today's paper. Our correspondent at San Francisco f us with the current news from California. San Francisco markets were easy, with a slightly in- creased demand for breadstuffs. The money market 000 in gold diggings on Frazer's river continued to in crease, as letters were received from that locality fully confirming the first reports of the richness of the newly discovered mines. It seems, however, that a check had been put upon emigration by a proclamation from the Hudson's Bay Company, or- dering all vessels not having @ license from said comppny to leave Frazer river and all other rivers, bays and creeks in the British possessions. Colonel Steptoe had encountered the Indians in Oregon, and had been defeated with the loss of fifty men. The red skins greatly outnumbered his command, thus rend-ing the fight very unequal. The details of the intelligence from Utah will be found interesting, though containing little not already given substan- tially. From Central America the latest dates are—San Jose, Guatemala, May 23; San Salvador, May 27; Nicaragua, June 1; and San Juan del Norte, June 17. Gaatemala had advocated the formation of a grand Central American league against filibusters, but the matter had not been as yet considered by the legislature. A motion had been made for a re- duction in the tariff scale of duties. Cholera still lingered in the country. San Salvador labored vigorously to perfect an alliance of the States for the mutual defence against invasion. Produce had fallen in price, with the exception of coffee, which was high. The movements of M. Felix Belly, French agent in Nicaragua, were watched with in- tense interest by all the remaining States, as his promises of aid,in the shape of French protecto- rates, cash loans, canals and railroads were most liberal. This gentleman had left the capital of Nicaragua and gone to San Juan del Norte, where he was well received owing to his assurance thet the great transit canal wotld be soon commenced, when the people would get all the ad- vantages of a control of the work without any out- lay of cash. From San Juan he went to Aspinwall, where he embarked for Havana on his way, as said, to Washington. The real results of his negotiations in Nicaragua are not as yet known; but one thing is certain, that the Yrissarri treaty was looked on as defunct in Nicaragua, and that General Lamar was about to come home. France, it is now said, wants to seize bold of the gold and silver mines of Nicaragua. Another report is that President Martinez favor the granting of a transit privilege to Com. Van- derbilt, be being impressed with a great idea of the wealth of that gentleman. The interesting letters of our correspondents pablished to-day all lead, how- inference that M. Belly has gained a very rm political and financial footing in Central Ameri- on during the great transit war of the commodores, both at home and abroad. Martin Korta, the refugee, who was rescued from the Austrian authorities in 1853 by Captain In- graham, of the navy, died lately near the city of Guatamala on a sugar plantation. We have advices from the Sonth Pacific dated at Valparaiso 16th and Callao 26th of May. A dim culty had occurred at Valparaiso between the captain of the American ship Monsoon and some Chinese sailors, who formed part of the crew, which ied to « trial in the Supreme Court. This was et nding, and the United States Consul at that r had got into some trouble with the local autho- rities owing to his action in the matter. Large finencial losses had been incurred in Valparaiso « r the late money crisis. The markets were et)! dull. Chile was, however, quiet. In Peru ac tive preparations were being made for the election of President, Vice-President and Congressmen. Negroes"who can read and writemay vote. A close contes! for the Presidency would lie betweea Gea, Castilla and Sr. Elias. Trade was very fiat at Cal- lao, and only twenty ships loading for the Chinchas, In Bolivia President Linares had still to struggle against revolutionary plots. The American expedi- tion for the exploration of the leading rivers of republic was expected, and would be well re- ceived by the government. The United States frigate Coiarado reached Aspin- wall on the 17th instant from San Domingo City, bringing a reliable report of the fall of Baez and the cenclusion of the Santana revolutionary struggle. Commodore McIntosh stated that President Santana had expressed the most friendly sentiments towards our government, and facilities were given the com mander to obtain the legal records of some cases which had been in dispute. Baez was to leave San Domingo for Curacoa on the 13th inst., most of his adherents having already sailed. The Colo- rado was in communication with the government for some weeks. The Commodore's health had im- proved very much. The Colorado was to sail for Havana on the morning of the 21st inst. We have news from New Granada, dated at Bogo- ta on the 27th of May, and at Panama and Aspin- wall on 19th of June. The Cass-Herran treaty was adopted by the Honse of Representatives with a slight modification in the article relative to the es- tablishment of a coal depot inthe New Granadian waters by the United States. On debate in the Se- nate it was proposed to postpone its further consi- deration until after the new constitution—signed by the President on the 224 of May—was in force. This was carried. It would thus appear as if the measure were abont to be lost through parliamentary tactique. A project of a law uthorizing a war against Eouador had been presented to the Senate with the concur. renee of the government. There is nothing of im- portance from the Isthmus, the movements of the United States war ships seems to engage the atten- tion of the residents completely. The steamship Tennessee has arrived below New Orleans, with advices from the City of Mexico to the 19th and from Vera Cruz to the 22d inst. The forced loan question was creating great excitement. For- eigners non-complying with the law had been or- dered to leave the country. The goods of the Ame- rican residents who failed to comply with the law had been seized, and in éonsequence thereof our Minister, Mr. Forsyth, bad demanded and received his passports. The constitutionalists were every- where gaining strength in Mexico, and it was re- ported that Zuloaga was about going to Tampico, from whence he could make a speedy exit from the country whenever flight became necessary. Captain Berry, of the bark Teresa, which arrived at this port yesterday from Maracaibo, Venezuela, whence she sailed on the 12th inst., reports that the country was quiet, with every prospect of its remain- ing so, at least until after the convention decides upon a President. The convention meets on the 5th of July next. By the arrival of the brig Isabella Jewett at this port yesterday we have news from Sierra Leone, Africa, to the 22d ult. The British cruisers appear to be driving a brisk and profitable business on the coast. The brig Caroline, Captain Gibbs, from Boston, arrived at Sierra Leone on the 15th of May, in tow of the British steamer Electra, who captured her as a slaver off the river Pongos. It being proved that she was a lawful trader, she was discharged. The schooner General Scott was captured as a slaver by the British steamer Teazer, and arrived at Sierra Leone on the 20th of May. The following named vessels were taken on the coast as slavera from the Ist of April to the last of May :—Schooner Wintemoyeh, for Boston; brig R. M. Chariton, for Savannah; bark Almeda, for Bos- ton; bark Minetonka, for New York; also a Norwe- gian schooner, name unknown. We have received authentic accounts of outrages perpetrated by Montgomery's free State banditti upon peaceable and inoffensive inhabitants of Kan- sas. These ruffians, armed and well mounted, roam about the country plundering travellers and settlers indiscriminately. To such an extent have their de- predations been carried, and so formidable have the banditti become, that Gov. Denver has recently issued a proclamation declaring Lynn, Licking and Bourbon counties in a state of insurrection, and pro- claiming martial law therein. He also erdered the militia to be called out to aid in presery- ing the peace; and accordingly several hun- dred men were soon. in the field, armed and organised to act against the public enemy. Gov. Denver is determined to extirpate the villains who have so long infested the localities designated, and will use all the power in his hands to effect so desir- able an object. The Catholic church of St. Marys, at Clifton, Staten Island, was solemnly dedicated yesterday, with the usual ceremonies, by Archbishop Hughes» who preached an eloquent sermon after the celebra” tion of high mass. The church was much crowded, notwithstanding the excessive heat of the day. The police news of yesterday contained several items of interest, a detailed account of which we are compelled to omit today. A fracas occurred on Saturday night at Blanchard’s Hotel, in which Capt. Thomas Dunbam was stabbed by Edward J. Ander- son, a lawyer. The difficulty was caused by a family misunderstanding. Capt. Dunham is se- verely injured, and the lawyer is in prison. Susan Meaghan, of No. 28 Mulberry street, died on Satur. day from the effects of violence alleged to have been inflicted by ber husband, John Meaghan. The sales of cotton on Saturday were limited, being con- fined to some 600 2 000 bales, without change in prices. ‘The ‘Sour market was steady, with fair sules, chiefly to the bome trade, closing without change in quotations. Wheat was firm for ali good qualities, while common or lower grades were unchanged. Sales were to a fair ex- tent at rates given in another column. Corn was firmer for sound cargoes, while sales were moderate. Pork was lower, but more active. Baie of all kinds embraced about 1,800 @ 2,000 bbis., part sold the previous afteancon, including mess at $16 19 a $16 25 and small lots at $16 50. Included in the sales wore 1,000 bie. of moss, payable in cash om Monday, at $16 12, with prime at $13 60 and cloar meas at $1775. Sugars wore active and firm, with sales of about 1,800 « 2,000 bhdée., at full prices. Coffee was quiet and firm. Freight opgagementa were moderate and rates unchanged. The Next Presidency—The Political Parties and Candidates tn the Field. The political parties and candidates fer the Presidency, from all .the existing facts, reports and indications of the day, present a budget of the most extraordinary incongruities, of the most irreconcilable eections, factions and cliques: principles and men, in the political history of the United States. Excepting the nucleus of Mr. Buchanan’s ad- ministration and the remnant of the democratic party, North and South, that have rallied around it, there is no existing political organization in the country which practically covers all the requirements of a truly national party. At the same time, we must not overlook the fact that in consequence of the treacherous and mutinour proceedings of party leaders and cliqaes ia hoth houses of Congress during the late session, this regular democratic party has been reduced to that exiremity of weakness which renders it doubtful whether, this day, it could command a peritive popular majority in any one State of all the thirty-two which now compose tho Union. The following list and classification of Presi- dential candidates will furnish the reader a ready illustration of the confused, conflicting, diseordant and unexampled state of things which has grown out of the revolutionary moveme ts resulting from the extinction of the oid whig party in 1852, and irom the disintegrations of the democracy resulting from that Kansas Nebraska bill. We gather our list from the politigal movements of the NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1858, day, and from the reports and feelers thrown out by our newspaper exchanges, and we classify the eeveral named candidates to our best understanding of their position respeo- tively:— pe NamonaL Consgavarive Canprpares—Vico President Breckinridge, Howell Cobb, Seoretary of the Treasury; A. V. Brown, PostmasterGenerai; Speaker Orr, of South Carolina; Senator Bright, Hoa. John Letch- or, of Virginia; D. 8. Dickineon, of New York, and others. Doveas Awnt-Lecomrron Am ADMunstmation Dsxo- craTs—Bemator Dougies, Governor Wise, of Virginia; Robert J. Walker and others. Sourwers Bicirs Dumocests, on Fine Karers—Senator Hunter, of Virginia; Jedferson Davis, Senator Slidell, of Louisiana; Senator Brown,.of Miselesippi; Toombs and Stephens, of Goorgia; W. L.

Damocranio Kyow Nonuwa Rerysuican Ooweanvativk— Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania. And, if this list were not sufficiently exten- sive for the purpose, we might add to it certain conservative Northern whig democrats, of the school of ex-Speaker Winthrop, of Massachu- setts ; certain slave State republicans, of the school of Hon. F. P. Blair, of Missouri; and certain Southern whig democrats, of the school of Senator Pearce, of Maryland. But the list and the classification given will afford the in- quiring politician a pretty broad conception of the amount of work to be done in compounding and compromising among candidates, sections and factions, before either the regular demo- crats, the republicans or the rump of the Know Nothings can hope to accomplish anything be- fore the people in 1860. We have already shown that, from all the existing facts and signs of the times, the proba- bilities of the approaching elections for the next Congress are decidedly in favor of an op- position majority. It is almost impossi- ble that the diseensions and divisions made in the democratic ranks, North and South, by such factious leaders as Douglas, Toombs, and others of the present, can be healed in season to save the next Congress. The late financial re- vulsion, too, im ita depressing effects upon the federal treasury, has inevitably resulted in a schedule of expenditures, treasury note issues and loahs, which must operate to the temporary advantage of the opposition. In fact, what with the disorganization of the democracy in Congress, the expensive legacies left to Mr. Buchanan by poor Pierce, and the prostration of the treasury by the late general financial simoon, blasting and blighting everything in its course, nothing but the most wretched management on the part of the opposition forces can prevent them from sccuring a majority in the next Congress. But let them secure a majority in the next House, and with the assembling of its incon- gruous elements in the capitol the real troubles of the opposition in reference to 1860, instead of being ended, will only, at that point, begin. The compromise which may have proved suf- ficient to carry this or that Congressional district will be utterly insufficient for the larger area of the Presidential cam- paign. In the interval, too, the country, the treasury and the administration party may recover their lost ground, and new issues, foreign and domestic, may change the whole existing programme of parties and principles for the succession. At present we can only see that all parties and factions, leaders and candidates, platforms and principles, North and South, East and West, are in a state of inexplicable confusion and fermentation. It will be some time yet be- fore the pot will have boiled down, and its solid contents will have crystallized at the bottom. But even now, there is one point upon which we think there can be no misapprehension, and it is this—that unless the opposition forces shall ignore all their old outstanding sectional and faction candidates, and reduce their plan of operations to that of 1840, they will be divided upon two or three Presidential tickets, as in 1836 and 1856, and the democracy, as in those cases, may again slip in between them. At this janctare, this appears to be the only living chance for the reduced remnant of the old de- mocratic party, but the prospect is still en- couraging, from the numerous existing proba- bilities of another opposition scrub race. Monsrevr Beny axp tae Transrt Rovre.— The news from Central America by the Moses Taylor leaves the object and results of Monsieur Belly’s mission as much in mystery as ever. After intriguing with the leading men of Nica- ragua and Costa Rica he returned to Aspinwall and sailed to Havana—it is said by some on his way to New York to hold a conference with Commodore Vanderbilt as to uniting their inte- reste in the Transit route, and by others it is declared that he is returning direct to Europe. What he has succeeded in doing with regard to ® grant for the interoceanic canal or railroad no one seems to know. As to the New York Commodores, all their participation in the busi- ness is & complete mystification. They are always misrepresenting each other and calling hard names. On the one hand it is claimed that Vanderbilt has secured the grant for the Transit, and on the other that White, Stebbins & Co. have got it in their breeches pocket. One thing, however, is apparent—that the whole question of the Transit is as much in a fog as ever, and we afvire every one who may be invited to invest money in any of the schomes to hold on a little until they know somewui.s more about it. Tne Cass Hernan Treaty.—In another co lumn we publieh an extract from the govern- ment organ of New Granada, and another from an opporition journal relative to the probable fate of the Onse-Herran treaty in the Cousti- tuent Assembly which are somewhat conflicting ‘The opposition paper says that the Senate wil certainly adhere to their modifications, in which case the treaty will be virtually defeated, for the United States government can never accept them, The government organ, on the contrary, predictsand it is probably correct, that the Senate will ultimately recede from its position on the modifications and confirm the treaty as itcame from this country. The treaty would have expired by limitation on the 9th of this month unlees ratified before that time, and if Mr. Herran has not succeeded in getting an ex- tension of time the action of the Senate of New Granada may come too late, and the treaty may be killed ia the gradig, Mumiorran, Revorm.—Six months have yet to | the United States; so that we stand better than elapse before the people will be called on to elect officers for this State and county. Within that period much may be done towards securing 8 choice of fit and preper persons to fill all the officea—men who may be not only faithful to the trust reposed in them, but competent to perform their duties, The sad experience of the last few years convinces us that the parties holding office under the Corporation according to the present system are wholly unfit for their posi- tions. One grand scheme of peculation has characterised the management of every depart- ment and bureau of the city government, which ‘has advanced to such a degree that the owners of property have been ground down by onerous taxation until they have at length cried out with one voice against the intolerable grievance. Yet the property owners are to a great extent responsible for the evil. They, in a spirit of heedlesaness or selfishness, devoted all their energies to their own private interests, and left the affairs of the city to be attended to by a set of rowdies, vagabonds and petty politicians, who nominated and elected to offices of trust their owa toola. They got the treasury into their hands; and between the incompetency of some of the heads of departments, and the dis- honesty of others, the taxpayers have been robbed of millions, However, it is never too late to mend. All this infamous business may, and we hope will, be remedied by the movement in which the tax- payers are now engaged towards the formation of an independent party, which will take care that a good ticket is elected next November. All mere party questions, all outside issues, all partisan likings and prejudices, must give way to the one grand subject of reforming our city government, turning all the rogues and rascals out of office, and putting good, honest, taxpay- ing citizens in their place. It is neither Le- compton, nor Utah, nor the right of search we have to deal with in the next election, but the vital question, how we are to put a stop to steal- ing the public money and reduce the taxes. That is the true issue, and we must stand by it. Tue Trovste at Frazer’s River—Our ac- counta of the mines at Frazer’s river, which come from California, confirm in every particu- lar the previous announcements of gold disco- veries. Letters from persons well known in California, who have gone to the mines, state that the gold on Frazer’s river and in the adja- cent country is even more plentiful than it was in California, and that gold seeking will be more profitable there than it was in the carly days of the California diggings. Accordingly, the excitement in the Pacific States is rather on the increase than on the decline, and no doubt thousands of miners are by this time either on their way to the British possessions or prepar- ing to go thither. Meanwhile a difficulty has arisen. Governor Douglas, of the Hudson’s Bay Company, has issued a proclamation warning all persons that the exclusive right of trading in and about Frazer’s river and in the British possessions on the northwest coast of America belongs to the Hudeon’s Bay Company, and that any vessels found in Frazer's river or any other river, bay or creek of the British possessions will be for- feited, if they have not a license from the com- pany and a clearance from the Collector at Vic- toria. In other words, this Governor intends, so far as in him les, to reserve the gold for the Hudson’s Bay Company. The company is, ac- cording to his view, the complete master of the situation, and has the right of selling licenses at any price it pleases, and refusing clearances whenever it thinks fit. This intelligence has, naturally enough, created no little stir and aroused some indignation in California. It is plainly contrary to common sense to stretch the provisions of an Indian trading monopoly so as to cover gold seeking. The charter of the Hudson’s Bay Company confers on it the exclusive right of trading with the In- dians for furs; it was never intended to invest it with a more extensive privilege than this. If the company has, in practice, stretched its trading monopoly till it has amounted to a species of actual dominion, the reason is simply that no one has had interest enough in the mat- ter to contest the usurpation. These gold dis coveries, and the influx of population they are likely to cause will lead to a testing of the question, and it is pretty certain that the au- thorities in England will not sustain the posi- tion taken by Governor Douglas. Inde- pendently of this, the Hudson's Bay Company's charter expires next year. Already Parliament, on the solicitation of Canada, has set its face against its renewal. This new evidence of the hostility of the company to 4 healthful deve- lopement of the country will destroy the last chance of a perpetuation of the monopoly. In the meanwhile, it is hardly likely that the Hudson's Bay Company's officers will be able to enforce Governor Douglas’ proclamation. There is no force, under the control of the company, which could for a day hold « thousand miners in subjection. Indeed it is more than likely that by this time the hand- ful of men on whom Governor Douglas may rely to execute his behests, have followed the general example and gone a gold hunting. Should farther explorations verify the indica- cations already obtained, the discovery of gold on Frazer's river will prove an event only second in importance to the like accident in California. It is in the power of the English to retard the developement of this great resource, and partly to neutralize its benefit by adopting stringent license systems, such as have becn en- forced in some parte of Australia, antl such as Governor Douglas seems to desire in his terri- tory. Time will prove whether the British aa- thorities have learned wisdom enough from the example of California to pureue the only system which ie calenlated to ensure to the new El Do- radoa prospect of speedy and general settlement and commercial prosperity. Tur News From San Dominco—The last news from San Domingo is important. Baez lies capltulated to Santana and retired from the country. The appearance of the American frigate Colorado, Commodore McIntosh in com- mand, on the 24th of May, brought his unsafe condition to a crisis, and he at once surrender- ed. This event strikes a severe blow at European intrigues in that feland. Baez was but the instrument of certain European inte rests, The favorable light in which the United States was regarded by the Santana party was acause of much jealousy, and with the aesist- ance of Spanish inflaence, through the medium of Segovia, the return of Baez was brought about, since which time the fsland has been in astate of war. Immediately on the capitula- tion of Baez, Gen. Santana sent to Commodore McIntosh kindly mersages, promising to extend gvery favor and proteption to the jaiwryelw of ever in San Domingo, in spite of the intrigues of European diplomacy. An Exampce ro sx Fottowep.—On Satarday Inet, at Washington, D. C., the convict and murderer Powers was duly executed according to the sentence of the law. Every exertion had been made to induce the President to commute his sentence. The mother of the culprit had literally besieged the President, thrown herself at his knees, and with all a mother’s energy begged the life of her gon. Persons of humane character, though weak instincts, had repeatedly solicited the like favor, and had brought con- siderable influence to bear. Mr. Buchanan withstood all appeals, replying to one inter- cessor who drew his attention to the youth of the prisoner, “Sir, nearly all the murders and crimes of violence so frequent of late years have been committed by such young men;” and the murderer was duly hanged. Here:is an example which State Governors should read, mark, learn and inwardly digest. Here is a lesson by which they should profit. No one can doubt but it was a very painfal duty for Mr. Buchanan to refuse to grant the prayer of a broken hearted m ; but he had a duty to perform to his fellow citizens and he performed it manfully. He proved that.he was worthy of the station he holds, and that he had the nerve to do his duty, at whatever cost to his feelings. Had our State Governors shown the nerve and firmness of Mr. Buchanan this would be quite a different country to live in, and the criminal records of our large cities very different affairs. In such cities as this criminals are perfectly aware that the chances of capital punishment are infinitely slender, and that imprisonment for a term of years is merely nominal. They know that even if the courts do convict them—a very rare occurrence now a days—a weak Governor will not be able to resist the appeals of some weeping female re- lation, or the petition of faint hearted philan- thropists. They know that crime will not bring its own punishment, and they therefore indulge in it, in obedience to their evil passions. If New York and some other States could enjoy the blessings of such a Governor as James Buchanan for a few years, there would be a wonderful diminution in crimes and violence. If State Governors could only be got to under- stand the truth which Mr. Buchanan so tersely expressed in his reply to the argument about Powers’ youth, people would hear leas about sudden murders, rowdy fights and the other disgraceful scenes which fill the daily chronicle. The example is now set. Simultaneously with the execution of Powers we hear of two convicts being executed in Montreal; Canada; a city where no execution had taken place for twenty years, and where impunity for crime had produced the same results as are witnessed here and else. Let us now see what State Governor will have the courage and wisdom to follow suit. Jopce Russe AND THE AFFAIR OF THE AcA- pemy or Music.—A motion was made and argued before the Recorder in the Court of Sessions, on Saturday last, to quash the indictments found by the late Grand Jury against Judge Russell, other officers of that court, and Mr. Bernard Ullman, the manager of the Opera house, for their prompt and praiseworthy action in expel- ling and causing the arrest of two persons who went to the Academy of Music, a short time ago, avowedly for the purpose of creating a disturbance. The grounds on which the motion was based were: first, that Judge Russell acted in his magisterial capacity and as a conservator of the peace, and that, consequently, no action could lie by indictment even if, as was not the case here, he had exceeded his jurisdic- tion; that a manager of a theatre has a perfect right to exclude whom he chooses from his house, and that the parties who tried to force their way in on this occasion were acting illegally; and finally, that there was mich an improper tampering with the last Grand Jury as vitiated their action in this mat- ter. The motion was ably argued on these and other grounds—the argument occupying the Court from noon till six o’clock in the after- noon. We present to-day a lengthened report of the argument on both sides, which, on ac- count of the novelty and importance of the case, well deserves careful perusal. Judging from the observations of the Re- corder in the course of the argument, there can be very little difference of opinion as to which side of the case the law and the facts are in favor of. We hope and expect to see, when the motion shall be decided, that that decision will convince the law breakers of this community that they can mo longer hope to continue their reign here; and we believe that it will aleo add new laurels to the brow of the most efficient and independent criminal Judge this city has been ever blessed with. Tuk News rrom Mexico—The advices from Mexico which we published yesterday would seem to indicate that the fall of the Zuloaga government was imminent. In view of the con- dition of the contending parties in that repub- lic, it would seem that such an event must de- pend in a great degree upon the result of the military operations at San Luis Potosi. The forces of the reactionists had been concentrated there under General Osollos, to the number of 5,000 or 6,000 men, and were to operate against the forces from Monterey, amounting to about 5,000 men, under Zuazua and Zayas. If Osol- los is defeated, the Zaloaga government will probably fall at once; but if not, it may hold on several monthe yet. ‘The Monroe Obsequies, The removal of the remains of Prosideat Monroe will take piace on Friday, July 2, at four o’elock jn the afternoon. No doubt there will be « large military and civic parade.
