Nothing had bern heard of the English war ship Agamemnon at Queenstown. Our special corres pondent on board the Niagara sends a very interest- ing report of the Atlan ic Telegraph Expedition, which we publish thie morning. In the English Commons on the Sth iastant, Sir E. B. Lytton moved the second reading of his bill for the establishment of a» organized government in the territory an the Pacific side of British North America, known as New Caledonia. We publish the report of the debate, Sir Edward's statement of the provisions of his bill gave general satisfaction. Mr. Labouchere suggested that the name should be altered, there being another New Caledonia. The importance of fixing the price of land as low as possible, with the view of attracting permanent settiers of the more respectable class, and of establish- ing the tenure upon a sound basis, was strougly urged. The general question of the goverament of the Hudson's Bay territories was not entered into. The new Government of India bill was passed in the lower House of Parliament, and as no opposi- tion to it is expected from the Lords the rule of the East India Company ia India may be looked on as at an end. From Spain we have, with the installation of a new Ministry, the usual reports of an intended de- monstration against Mexico, and that ten thousand men were to proceed there to demand satisfaction for grievances still unredres-ed, In London a deputation on the subject of the Cuban slave trade bad had an interview with Lord Derby, who expreesed generally every desire to prevent the traf ‘ibe labors of the Paris Conference with regard to the constitution of Wallachia and Mo! 4, Ware re ported as rapidly progressing towards a satisfactory | term it wa nation. nnounced from Warsaw that the revolt of the an peasants in Esthonia is suppressed.

We have received a copy of the report of the Board of Visiters to the United States Military Academy at West Point, detailing their examina- tion of the state of discipline, instruction, police, administration, fiscal affairs, and other mat- ters connected with the institution. The Board speak in high terms of the successful operation of the different departments of the Academy, and give their unqualified approbation to the code of military regulations and discipline. We shall print the re- port for the benefit of our readers as soon a3 our space will permit. The United States sloop-of-war Savannah, at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, went into commission Thurs- day, and was hauled out in the stream.

The Presidential Question—The Troubies of the Demeeracy and the Opposition, The information which we publish this morn- ing from Washington concerning the demo cratic Douglas imbroglio and the cross-pur- poses concerning it among the Presidential tinkere of the party, will be found exceedingly interesting to all sections and factions of the be- fogged democracy. On the other hand, a batch of pewspaper extracts, which are also spread before our readers this morning, will afford the intelligent inquirer a pretty fair conception of the entanglements, embarrassments and wrang- ling odds and ends of the opposition side of the field. With regard to the Douglas trouble in the de- mocratic camp, there is some reazon to fear that it may culminate, in 1860,ia an outside movement analagous to that of Van Buren in 1848, or of Fillmore in 1856. It appears that the Presidential firm of Slidell and Bright are exerting all their powers at Washington to bring this thing about, and they are doubtless stimulated in their work by the fact that in killing off Douglas they will also bring the head of Governor Wise under the guillotine, and thus dis pose of two very troublesome and very ambitious political aspirants, instead of one. But there is a reverse side to this pic- ture, for it appears that some of the Southera fire-eaters and their orgaus, including the New Orleans Deia, are willing not ouly to forgive Mr. Douglas his late Kansas offences and their mischievous consequences, but are actually dis- pored to award h m—perhaps on account of his filibustering proclivities—a front seat in the Southern church. The little private arrengemont of Mr. Slidell for President and Mr. Bright for Vice Presi- dent, geographically considered, is a very nice thing. The lust three democratic candidates— Cass, Pierce and Buchanan—baving been taken | from the North, the chances are as ten to one that the candidate of the party for 1860 will be from the South. Geograpbically, therefore, Mr. Slidell is in a good position, Next, as the great Northwest has become a powerful section, Mr. Bright, for Vice President, is in a good geographical locality. But when such Southern men as Breckinridge, Aaron V. Brown, Orr, Cobb and Jefferson Davie, to say nothing of Wire, Hunter, Toombs aud Stevens, are brought to bear upon the Charleston Convention, the firm of Siidell and Bright may never touch bottom. In aoy event, we cannot understand the wisdom of their programme, based upon the shelving of Doaglas, when it is certain that the shelving of Douglas will involve the ebelving of Lilinois and Indiana as demo- cratic States. Let it euflice, for the present, that these con- flicting games and intrignes of our democratic leaders, of all sections and factions, for the next Presidency, eetabliah the trath of all that we have eaid of the demoralized, disorganized and melancholy condition of the democracy as a national organization. The mischief is also justly chargeable to the factious, selfish and treacherous tricks and dodges of Northern and Southern democratic leaders, (Douglas in cluded,) at the late seesion of Congress. They ecught to rule or ruia the administration. It proved more than a match for them; and the consequences of their folly have fallen upon their own heads. The administration has no favors to ark—no treacheries or defections to fear. It can get on well enough, though the party which should support it may be broken to pieces. The events and results of tt late session have proved this point most conclusively. It devolves upon these factious lewlers of the party to re pair the damages they have made; and there is some evidence of their return to the principles of common sense, in the general dirposition among them to unite under the nu- cleus of the administration. Not until Mr. Douglas shall have been dis- pored of, one way or the other, however, can we expect anything like a restoration of har- NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1858. mony in the party camp. From present ap- pearances, Mecers, Slidell, Bright & Co. are ia 8 fair wey of raising up another Van Baren io 1860; bat let us await the results of the fali elections, The opposition factions are ia a condition of dicegreement and disintegration, almost, if not quite, as bad as the condition of the stultified and ditjointed cliques of the democracy. “Be- tween the Chevalier Webb, the Hono. Massa Greeley, the poets of the Jost, and the boobies of the Express, there is a very interesting quar- rel going cn over the political remains of Thar- Jow Weed, snd over the approaching Republi- can State Convention, and over the question of @ fusion between the Seward party and the remnants of the Fillmore faction of 1856, The meaning of ali this bush- fighting, how- ever, may be readily explained. It is a fight between the Seward managers and the debris of the old line silver gray anti- Seward Know Nothing coterie for the iaside track for the Presidency. The Seward republi- can managers want Seward, and the Kaow Nothing Praise-God-Barebones pipe layers are working to shelve Seward, and to put up Crit- tenden in his place, as the basis for a auion of both the opposition factions of this great and important commonwealth. The resuit of this bitter preliminary fight in the Empire State will most probably wind up in the casting of both Seward and Crittenden overboard. The chances are certainly in favor of the drowning of Seward in our November election; avd, if he goes down, Crittenden and ull the old outstanding opposition candidates will be pretty sure to follow, What then? The Newburyport Herald says that if neither Seward, nor Orittenden, nor Fremont, nor Douglas will answer, “there may be new men, stronger for new emergencies; and if so, Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania, Colonel Bissell of Illinois, or Governor Banks,”’ may be found sufficient for the crisis. Very good, excepting Mr. Banks. We fear that be must be set aside with the rest of the old set. But Cameron is a new man, and an available man, and so is Bissell of Ilinois. Our Newburyport cotemporary is right aleo in its views of the negro question. It must be cast into the background by the op- position in 1860 as in 1840, or they will have several tickets in the field, and will be defeated as in 1856, notwithstanding their overwhelming aggregate majcrity of the popular vete. To eum up, the democratic party is divided srd broken up into cliquer, factions and sec- tions. They are disposed to come together; but their leaders are quarrelling over Douglas, and with him they threaten to sink the party be- yond redemption in the North. The opposition are confident of their strength; but instead of progressing to a fusion, they are breaking up into hostile cliques. Enough is known to kaow tbat Seward must be thrown out, and all the old set of republican and Know Nothing candidates, or that there will be no fusion. Considering this estate of things, on both sides, we call upon the independent newspaper prees to commence actively the work, on both sides, of clearing the ground for 1860. An independent press and an independent people can, on all sides, if they will, anticipate and dictate the course and nomi- nations of those gatherings of party hacks and jogglers, known as national conventions. We thall not wait for them, at all events, The President, as we learn from our Washing- ton despatches, published yesterday, has con- ferred the appointment of Associate Judge of the Supreme Court in Kansas—vacated by the resignation of Judge Cato—on Mr. Rush El- more, of Lecompton. IY anything had been wanted to prove the desire of the President to have justice impartially administered in that Territory, this selection is calculated to eupply that want. Mr. Elmore was one of the dele- gates to the convention that framed the Le- compton constitution; and though he was the largest, if not the only, slaveholder in the Ter~ ritory—having a ecat in that convention—he was distinguished in it as much for his modera- tion, firmness and conservatism of the rights of the people as he was for his great ability, as contrasted with his colleagues. He was a candi- Gate for the Presidency of the convention, in opposition to Jack Calhoun, and got the eupport of all the sober, sensible and moderate delegates, who, however, were in a considerable minority there. As Chairman of the Committee on Credentials he reported in favor of the ad- mirsion of delegates from the two counties which had not been included in Secretary Stan- ton’s apportionment, but which had nevertheless gone through the regular forma of an election and sent their representatives to Lecompton ; and it will be recollected that the refusal to admit these men to their seats was one of the erguments used against the Lecompton consti- tuion. Finally, he was the leader of the minor- ity of the convention which voted in favor of a full submission of the constitution to the bona fide citizens of the Territory, and was utterly opposed to the course taken by the majority. The sppointment of such a man to the office of Associate Judge of the Supreme Court, taken in connection with that of Mr. Denver as Gover- nor, with the dismissal of Calhoun from his post of Surveyor General, and the appointment to that post of Colonel Burnett, of the New York Volunteers, ought to be a sufficient assurance of the desire of Mr. Buchanan to allow the people of Kaneas no just cause to find fault with his administration. Tae Inuiwors Camraion—A New Cowrrica- t10n.—The Star of Hyypt, & new campaign paper, said to be a Buchanan organ, started at Belleville, Minois, nominates Judge Breese as the candidate of the “national” anti Douglas democracy for the Senate. Upon thie hint the Chicago Democrat, John Wentworth's paper, eaye:— strength ly, in this quarter ar veterans and choices: the party, as t, called around them the oldest Q not to submit to epirita of the party. The raok and filo doles the loncere, are also determined the ove man power rule of Douglas. We agree with Master Wentworth as to the availability of Judge Breese for the Senate While he was a member of that body some years ago, he proved himself @ very usefal and able member in all the practical affairs of legielation. But Wentworth’s game is the election of Lincoln, and the surest way of ac- compliching that object is to get up two democratic candidates for the Senate. But we suppose that the Illinois democracy have at last come to the New York and Mimouri split of hards and softs and that good advice to the fighting factions will be like pearls cast before swine. Poor Douglas! He seems at last to be in a fair way for a good understanding of “the true intent and mean- ing” of the Kansas-Nebraska biil. Tue Preswent’s Kansas ArrointMents.— | Tue Last Anouition Ourracx.—Oa or about the first of August of each year, the Garrieonian abolitionists in this vicinity meet together, in fome umbrageous grove, to celebrate the aoxi versary of the emancipation of the slaves in the Britich West Indies. The festive throvg in- cludes persons of all ages and sexes and colors, ard there is a general frateroal intermixture of ali the redical clements in the city aud vicinity. It is a sort of cheap carnival, with dancing, fid- Gling, eating, drinking eud speech making. ‘The banqueting board groans beneath the heaps of gingerbread; the dancing platforms ehake under the long-heeled double shaffie; while Brother Garrison and all the other brothers— white, black and yellow—are making the sum mer air vocal with their denunciations of the goverpment, the constitution, the church, the Supreme Court, our Southern brethren, and other matters and thingswhich do not suit them to a shade. These gatherings, though a little “off color,” sre amusing, and have generally been weil at tended. But, whether the colored sisters are hort of funds, or whether the oratorica! brethren are too long winded, cr whether the paiioso- phers have spliton the gingerbread ques‘ion, we cannotsay; certainit is that the more recent jubilees have not paid expeveer, and the mana gers have been obliged to resort to ali sorts of shifts and expedients to get up a crowd. Among other things they bave even imitated the old Tammany dodge, and have announced orators who have never been corsulted. The especial case before us is explained by the official docu- ments, copies of which are hereunto appended. The first isthe official programme of the cele- bration:— A GRAND UNION CELEBRATION OF THE BMANCIPATION IN THE BRITISH WEST INDIBS.

Ferguson, Davia — ai Brock!yn; Tuomas , Mr. Lawrence, New cr In the list of orators the name of John P. Sampeon will be noted, and on that head we bave received from him an autograph letter in the following words, verbatim et punctuatum Titeratum:— Having seen my name used ina circu’ar yesterday as ove cf the speakers for the occasion of August 2nd I will say Lam not only exempt{frem the natural character of its denomination as a public speaker, but that my name ‘was used without my knowledge or consent JOHN P, SAMPSON, N. C. Mr. Sampson is a young gentleman from North Carolina, and follows his vocation—that of a Gsaguerreotypist—near the banks of the classic stream known as Old Tar river. Mr. Sampson is evidently a person of intelligence. His features retain but slight traces of his Mongo- lian extrection, and his cuticle has the most deli cate Southern tinge. In fact, he is what would be called in the South a “likely looking yellow man.” We are not acquainted with Mr. Samp- son’s views on the abstract question of slavery; but as he is a Southerner, doing business in a slave State, we presume that he holds the con- servative opinions common to the people of the district in which he resides. His style is some- what Oriental, and it may puzzle an ordinary mind to koow exactly what he means when he says he is “exempt from the natural charac- ter of its denomination; but from the tone of his card the inference is irresistible that he does not agree with his brethren who adhere to the Garrisonians. His business card throws 4 little more light on the subject. Here it is:— Bampeon's daguerreoty pes, gallery, corner of Third and Mulberry ean: for fifty cents and vee. ing and upwards, are now for themse! ah thes pertains 80 the art done ot low peices. The daguerreotypes of Mr. Sampson “speak for themselves,” and, therefore, he has no occa- sion to cultivate the graces of oratory. He may believe that negro emancipation in the West Indies brought more sorrow than jubilee—more tears than emiles; and it is quite certain that with the ald ofa camera, he has been able to tee farther than most free colored men, and to take Mr. Garrison’s dimensions as they are. There is no flattery or palaver about the da- guerreotype; and artists in that line are sharp enough to eee through all the humbuge of the day, Garrieon included. Mr. Sampson is a da- guerreotype artist, and not a politician of the Garrisonian order. He repudiates the conace- tion altogether, and prefers to work out his own ealvation. Finally, we may say that this wholesale ap- propriation of a man’s name, which is as much his property as his boots or his trowsere, has become an intolerable nuisance, and it ought to be stopped. By-and-by these politicians will be writing some other man’s name on a bank check-- 80 etrong is the force of habit and so facile the descent to crime. Let Massa Garrison & Co. take heed in season. EycocraGeMENt To Forrign Apvestvrers.— When the self-dubbed Zouave who has made such a wreck of the peace and happincss of an honorable and respectable family, and who has been recently figuring so extensively in the newspapers, came to this city, about a year ago, he was publicly endorsed and recommended to the community by a score of citizens of high reputation, including, if we mistake not, the names of General Sandford, the Harpers, &o. Of course we are all liable to imposition; but it strikes us that before an unknown adventurer is endorsed and recommended to public and pri- vate favor, those who ateume the position of sponsors should take more than ordinary pains to ascertain that their protege is all that he represents himself to be. If Monsieur de Riviere had not been certified to, as it turned out, so un- deservedly by respectable citizens, he would not so easily have gained access into a respectable family, or had an opportuuity to practice hie French gallantry in the way he has done. As it is, be has abused the hospitality which his credentials procured for him, and played sad havoc with the peace and fair fame of an estimable family. We hope this will be a salutary lesson to thove who are #0 ready to act as public spéneors to all plausible adventurers who come to our thores. In connection with this subject we cannot but exprees our regret that a paragraph roflecting in a moet rude and unbecoming manner on the character of one of the ladies involved in this matter should ever have been published. We allude to an article published by the Oleve- land Werald, purporting to be an account of the school-girl antecedents of Mrs. Blount. lt wae o malicious, unmanly and infamous at- tempt to add gall to the bittervess of the cup that sm amiable fami!y was being compelled to érain, and ite only object seemed to bave brea to pander to the depraved tastes of a certuia portion of our population, Colovel Blount, aitbough for the tiwe ivceverd with bis wife foc her course in the Riviere scandal, came forward like an honorable mao, and denounced the whole fabricetion aa an atrocious faleehood; aad we uvderstand that it is ber purpose to briag @ suit for libel against the Cleveland Mrald Tn that sction he must have the sympathy of all who bave a becoming regard for dec: ney or & proper eetimate of the value of au uasultied repatation. Tue Linerran Ewtorants Acain —The maai- festo of the Secretary of the Culonization So- ciety in relation to the case of the Regina Coli, which we published yesterday, is » very lame affair, and must have originated from ao over. anxiety to get into print. In the tace of official investigations the Secretary simply sets up his own ipse dizi, and states in ove place that such things could not be, while further on be admits by implication that under existing treaties the coast of Liberia is open to vessels that have paid for a license, and they may carry away as mavy “migrants” as they can tempt to come op board their sbips. This fact admitted, the government of Liberia is powerless to prevent the trade, ard the President may have resolved to profit by a traffic which he could not pro- hibit. To the statement that two hundred of the emigrants taken from the Regina Coeli were mapumitted American slaves, the Secretary puts inthe plea that they might have come from somewhere else. He has no facts of his own, and attempts to evade the coaclusions which follow from the accounta already pub- lished, by the most transparent special plead- ing. He expects from Liberia a “direct reply” to all the charges implicating its goveroment We with be may get it “in a few weeks” Hurry it up as soon as possible. A Ray or Hors vor Mexico —It is stated that General O'Donnell, the new Prime Minis- ter of Spain, is about to send ten thousaad men to Mexico to enforce the claims of Spaaish sub- jects, and demand reparation for past insults to Spain. This is no doubtan old story revived by a new minister, for the purpose of engaging public attention at home, while he is bury dix solving the Cortez and arranging for new elec- tions. A war cry is as popular in Spain during an electioneering canvass as it is anywhere else. It would be very desirable that such an expedition ehould be eent forth bySpain against Mexico. The effect of it in that republic would be like the effect here of an English expedition to reconquer the old thirteen colonies. Public spirit in Mexico would receive a new life. Parties would suddenly sink their differences, and the whole country would be aroused, not onlx to organize itself, but to oppose the enemy. The popular feeling in Mexico is that they have whipped the Spaniards out of the country once, and that they can do it agaia, and repeat as often as occasion may require, We hope General O'Donnell will not give up his enterprise.

Wasnrnerton, July 23, 1858. The Presidential succession engages much more of the attention of the democratic aspirants, here and elsewhere, than the masses of the party can have apy notion of. The Union continues to pour its hot shot into Douglas, notwithstanding the fact that his defeat must be the defeat of the Lllinois democratic party. But there is a little firm here for the Presi- dency, consisting of Senator Slidell, of Louisiana, and Senator Bright, of Indiana, who are determined, at all hazards, to bring Douglas to the block, because he and his friends stand in the way of Messrs. Slidell and Bright, between whom it !s agreed that Slidell shall be the democratic candidate in '60 for Presi- dent, and Bright for Vice President. These are the men that are egcing on the Union. As for the President, he is disposed to let Douglas have his wish in letting him fight out his battle without in- terruption, one way or the other. On the other hand, Governor Wise is in the same boat with Douglas, and the Richmond Enquirer is therefore working for the Li jaut like a beaver, which will make, by and by ery pretty kettle of fish of the Virginia democracy; for the Hunter men, when the time comes, will move heaven and earth, if they can, to get Wise under the hatches. You will also observe that while some of the more Southern fire eaters are perfectly ferocious against Douglas, others of them are disposed to give him the right hand of fellowship for 1860. So that you will per- ceive that the democratic Presidential wireworkers for 1860 are pretty thoroughly raixed op, and in as beautiful a state of harmony as the plotting and counterplotting factions of the opposition. Reporta in newspapers that our government will resist the imposition of dues collected from our ves- sela by Hanover have no foundation. These pro phetic correspondents have assumed to know more than government iteelf. The same may be said of the despatch in yester- day's papers, from an unquestionable source, with regard to the acquisition of Cubs. There is no action of the government to justify such a statement. The Buffaloes, who were so intensely excited about Postmaster appointment for their city, and who were so summarily sent out of Washington by the President, have been sending telegraphic despatchea from almost every station on their way home, to know the result. Betting was very high among themselves. No result known yet. THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER OFEPA TCH. Wasninoton, July 23, 1858, An officer of the army, writing from Washington Territory relative to Col. Steptoe’s defeat, says the route eastward and northward of Colville is now virtually blockaded; that no one can cross Snake river, and that it will require a force ten times as large as is now there before peace can be restored.

Sr. Lovis, July 23, 1958, The Kansas Herald says that General Cathoun has issned certificates of election to all those elected under the Lecompton constitution. The free State members from Jeavenworth county received certif- cates, which gives that party a majority in both branches of the Legislature.
