The late elections in Kansae, Missouri, Ker- tucky azd North Carolina make up a very cu- rious budget of conflicting elements, principles and results, but taken in detail they admit of en easy aud simple solution. The people of Kansas by an overwhelming majority have rejected the Lecompton constitu- tion, and in theface of the alternative presented by Congress, that with this rejection they will be considered as debarred from sdmiseion until they ehall have eecured the full ratio of 93,400 population, required for one representative in Congress. The opposition journals, North and South, are raising a great outcry over this re- sult, although no other result was expected by anybody. But this exultation over it comes from the disastrous consequences that are aati- cipated to the party of the administration. We, however, have no fears in reference to the issue ia Congress upon this anti-Lecompton re- striction of the late session. It was but a tub to the Southern whale. No man voting for it could have been silly enough to believe that this restriction would or could be binding upon Con- gress @ single session, a single week, or a single day. Should the people of Kansas, therefore, in a fair way, get up and present to Congress at the coming session new constitution, republican in form, we entertain no doubt concerning the Votume XXTM...........ecceeeeecee sree e NOs BBB AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING.

By the arrival of the steamship Great Britain at this port and the Niagara at Halifax we have news from Europe to the 31st ult., three days later than previous accounts. In the London market money was easy. Consols on the 3lst were quoted at 96} for both money and account—a slight improvement. ‘There had been but a limited business in American secnrities, at previous rates. News from India of a favorable character had a tendency to advance the funds. In Liverpool, cotton had declined one- sixteenth to one-eighth of a penny per pound. On the Sist the market was steady and firm. Flour was dull of sale at a decline of sixpence. The Con- tinental news is unimportant. By the arrival of the steamship St. Louis at this port yesterday from Aspinwall we have news from California, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Frazer's river, the Sandwich Islands, Nicaragua, New Gra nada, the South Pacific and Mexico. The steamship Star of the West is due at this port with the semi monthly Pacific mails and $1,500,000 in treasure. The local news from California is unimportant. Preparations for the political campaign of 1858 were in active progress. The San Francisco markets were rather dull, owing to recent heavy importations. action of Congress thereon. The case The accounts from the Frazer river gold minesare | jg 09 clear that Kansas is forever highly interesting. People on the spot represent} j4.¢ to the South, and so clear is the yield and quality of the dust as equal to the best California placers. It is estimated that at least thirty thousand persons have emigrated to the newly discovered diggings. From the Sth to the 18th of July no less than thirty-two vessels sailed from San Francisco for the port of Victoria direct, all of which had more or less passengers bound for Fikiver river. The newspapers of California appear to be making every effort in their power to check the exodus. It was represented that mining operations had nearly ceased in consequence of the low stage of water in the rivers, also that the miners were suffering for want of provisions. A San Francisco trade circular, however, states that the demand for provisions for Frazer river had partially ceased, owing to the excessive supplies that had been forwarded. New gold discoveries of unusual richness are reported at Owen's Lake, in Southern California, and it was deemed probable that a por- tion of the emigration would be diverted to this new point of attraction. In Oregon the Legislature had chosen Joseph Lane and Delazon Smith United States Senators, in anticipation of the admission of the Territory into the Union by the last Congress. The Indians had been tolerably quiet. Gen. Clarke was organizing an active campaign against the savages. By way of Panama we have news from Acapulco of another revolution in the city of Mexico, and the elevation of Ex-Governor Juan Jose Baz fto the su- preme authority. All the particulars that have reached us of this important movement are given elsewhere in our colamns. From New Granada we have news dated at Pa- nama on 3d of August. The most important por- tion of it is the passage of the Cass-Herran Conven- tion, with the alterations made in it by the govern- ment at Bogota, the particulars of which are given n our paper this morning. There were no United States war ships, and but one British, at Panama Heavy rains had fallen on the Isthmus. It was hoped at Panama that travel by that route wonld continue to be profitable for a long time owing to the different transit route rivalries now in progress. Late reports from San Juan del Norte received at Aspinwall state that the Nicaraguan government was in favor of M. Belly’s canal plan in preference to those proposed by Commodore Vanderbilt and Messrs. Webster and Allen. It was said that Com- modore Vanderbilt's $100,000 in cash was not suffi- cient to impress the Nicaraguan Cabinet with effect towards him. ‘The news from the South Pacific is dated at Val- paraiso on the 30th of June and at Callao on the 12th olt. Mr. Lomer, who was arrested some time since by the Peruvian government on charges of con- spiring for an invasion of that country with Ameri- can filibusters, was convicted after trial, and sen- tenced to fifteen years at hard labor in penal servitude. A like sentence was recorded against several other gentlemen not then amenable to the courts. A serious misunderstanding had occurred between Peruvian and French man-of-war sailors at Callao, which went near producing a regular colli- sion by broadside between the vessels. The exports of guano from the Chinchas continned large. Bolivia | was miserably disorganized, both socially and politi- cally. In Chile the election excitement had almost died out in the rural districts, but very angry discns- sions ensued in the halls of Congress. Money was very scarce at Valparaiso and trade had onlyslightly improved since last reports owing to that fact. The dates from Honolula, Sandwich Islands, are to the 2ist of June. The annual report of the Minis. ter of Finance shows that the nation is fast rnaning into debt, ite indebtedness on the first of April amounting to $60,000. It is said that a government loan for $500,000 is to be proposed. The new crop of wheat was very fine. A cargo of guano from Jarvis Island had reached Honoluln under favorable circumstances. Ireland has had the honor of fur- nishing the baptismal robe of the Prince Royal of Hawaii. The Chamber of Commerce in Honolulu was reorganized. The Joint Committee of the Common Council who have in charge the arrangements for the celebration of the successful laying of the Atlantic telegraph able held their first meeting yesterday. Mayor Tiemann was pre- went, as also Mr. Lowber, who represented the telegraph company. It was agreed to have two distinct celebrations, one in honor of Cyrus W Field ‘and Captain Hudson on the occasion of. the arrival of the Niagara in New York, and the otber as soon fas the message from Queen Victoria and President Buchanan's reply are received. There will be two national salutes fired, one at the Battery and one at | the Central Park, besides a salute of 100 guns which will be fired in front of the City Hall. Tar barrels are to blaze on the Battery ana along the shores of the East and North rivers, all the public bells in New York are to be rang, and the whole city is to be illuminated. A report of the proceedings of the committee appears in another part of the Heaatn. receipts of beef cattle at the various yards during the past week amounted to 5,852 head, an in- crease of 1,047 bead as compared with the week pre the,policy of the administration, as indicated by the late election, that there can be no diffi- culty upon the subject. The new State will be admitted at the first opportunity, and that will be the end of the whole matter. The question being thus completely settled, the public mind will be as completely diverted from the subject as from the question of a national bank, a sub- treasury, or the annexation of Texee. In this view, for all purposes of political agitation, Kansas is already an “ obsolete idea.” ‘This is all that we can make of the late Kan- sas election. It settles the destiny of Kansas, and it settles the Kansas agitation ; for, except- ing a noisy and unimportant fire-eater or two, we dare say that there will be no serious oppo- sition to the admission of Kansas as a sovereign State upon her next application, though it ehould be presented to Congress on the first Monday in December next. ‘The Missouri election is a different thing. It takes hold of the broad and general issues be- tween the administration and the opposition, and it forgibly indicates the beginning of a po- pular reaction in favor of the democratic party under the good auspices of the administration, It betrays a division and a spirit of enmity, jealousy and hate between the republican and Know Nothing factions, which it will be hard to bring to a practical accommodation, inside or outeide of Missouri, for at least a year or two to come. In Kentucky, which first,went over to the democracy in 1856, the late local elections dis close the important fact that the opposition party, as organized upon the Know Nothing platform, has been almost entirely frittered away. In North Carolina, on the other hand, where the principles and organization of Knew Nothingism appear to have been incontinently dropped, the opposition, even upon the old exploded, flimsy and unseasonable issue of a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among all the States, seem to have been picking up some considerable additions of strength in the popular vote. From this fact it would appear that although there is no im- mediate prospect of a fusion between the re- publicans and Know Nothings; and that al- though the Know Nothing creed and organiza- tionfor national uses are utterly exhausted, there are still in the South the dormant mate- rials of a powerful opposition party, only awaiting some practical national organization to bring them into active life, as in 1840 and 1848. In the meantime, the defeat of Blair in Mis- souri, and the causes producing that defeat, de- molieh our previous anticipations of an opposi- tion majority in the next House of Representa- tives. The division between the republicans and Know Nothings of New York is ae violent and virulent as in Missouri, and we presume that something of the same spirit of dis cord between these factions prevails from Massachusetts to Illinois. They must unite, as in 1854, when they carrried the House of Representatives, or, in being di- vided, as in 1856, they will lose the House. ‘They are divided, and it is now too late to couat upon any coalition sufficient to reverse the order of things commenced with the defeat of Blair. With anything like a decided and practical organization of the democracy, therefore, we shall be prepared to record, in October and No- vember, some very important Congressional gains to the party in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York, to say nothing of Indiana and some other States. But the democracy, in holding their ground in the other Northern States, can «ustain the absolute Congreesional loss of Indi- ana and Illinois, provided they also hold their ground in the South. In the South, however. the elections for Congress do not come off till next year, so that the results of the Northern elections of the present year will go very far to affect the results in the South: and this consid- eration should not pass unregarded by our Northern democracy who believe in the wis- dom, justice and patriotiem of Mr. Buchanan's administration. To sum up the results of the late Miscouri, Kentucky and North Carolina elections, they show—first, in the case of Missouri, that the re- publicans and Know Nothings are as far from a coalition as in 185», and are likely to remain ly caused & decline in prices, | %; Secondly, that Know Nothingism (as fllus- c waeanee te per quand, though ths | trated in Kentucky) is a dead cock in the pit, best quality brought 9c. in many instances.

Ocr Retations wrra New Gaanapa.—By the steemebip St. Louis, from Aspinwall, we have ® confirmation of the news of the ratification of the Cass-Herran treaty which we announced some time since. The contest over this treaty in the New Granadian Congrees has been along and bitter one, and was made a test of party fidelity, something as the Kansas question wae in the late session of our own Congress. Mem- bers arrayed themselves in favor of or against the treaty—not on the merits of the question, but as a matter of support or opposition to the administration of President Ospina, which in- sisted upon its pazeage just as itoame from the United States. The result has been a compro- mise by the passage of decree of ratification, with the following exception and explacations. The seventh article of the treaty, conceding to the United States the privilege of buying or leasing a tract of one hundred acres of land, to establish a coal depot on one of the islands in the Bay of Panama, has not been ra- tified, and the first article of the treaty has been ratified, with the following explanatory clanses, which we place side by side, for their clearer comprehension. The rest of the treaty has been ratified without change :— Art. 1.—all the reclama- 1.—It is understood that tions on the part of citizens the obligation of New Gra- of the United States, corpo; nada peace rations, companies or pri- good order on the oceanic vate individuals, against ent of New Grana- that have been present- ed the date of this convention to the Btate De- acknowledged obligation of New Granada to preserve peace and good order on the inter- forcement of an international claim in favor of the Panama Railroad Company, as the contract with and concession of privileges to that com- pany previde that all claims it may have upon the government shall be prosecuted through the regular tribunals of that republic. If it is not intended to wreet this clause to the exclu- sion of such individual claims as may have been settled by the company under its liability as a common carrier, it would seem that this clause should not operate to prevent our government from accepting the modifica- tions presented by that of New Granada in the treaty. This is rendered the more simple, if it be true, as we have been informed, that the railroad company has not presented any claim to our government for its own damages during the riot at Panama. The denial to us of a privilege to establish a coal depot in the bay of Panama, may be looked upon as an expression of an unfriendly feeling towards us by the Legislature of New Granada ; but as it is nota thing that we can insist upon as right, it forms no motive for our rejection of the modified treaty. This fact, however, will have its due weight upon our government when it comes to the settlement of the still existing questions with New Granada. These are the transit of closed mails on the Isthmus, and the exemption of our ships from onerous tonnage dues in ite Isthmus ports, laid for the purpose of collecting an indirect but illegal transit tax upon passengers and merchandise. The Panama interest is dissatisfied with the treaty in ite present form, because of the failure to obtain a naval station in that bay for our government sbips. If this had been attained it was thought that it would have made the Pa- nama route the most safe of all the Isthmus routes, and brought there a great increase of traffic. A careful review of the modifications of the Cass-Herran treaty leads us to believe that they can be accepted by our government without prejudice te our interests or our honor. This view is strengthened by the fact that the ad- ministration of President Ospina has manifested the most friendly disposition, and labored sedu- lously to obtain an acceptance of the treaty without modification. Its ratification by us will secure to the suffering claimants for damages sustained in the Panama riot an early settle- ment of their claims. Scrrerme at tae Frazer Riven Mrves.— The news brought yesterday by the St. Louis, and published eleewhere, gives a very gloomy picture of the state of things at Frazer river. So far as the productiveness of the gold placers ie concerned, there does not « to be any diminution in the prospects of the adventurers there, although we have not heard of any large quantities of gold being shipped from Vancou- ver beyond that sent to England by the Golden Gate, on her last trip to Panama. It is on an- other account that the intelligence is gloomy. There is a fearful dearth of provisions there at the present moment, and the population—sta- tionary se well as transient—is suffering from want of food. And still emigration is pouring in at a rate equal to the influx into California ten years ago, and while mouths are becoming more and more numerous, the stock of provisions is necessarily becoming more and more inadequate to the wants of the colony. Our accounts represent the existence of much preeent suffering from that cause, and there is too much reason to apprehend a most deplorable state of things there during the long winter that will soon commence in those regions. When that winter does fairly set in, then the tens of thow sands who have unthinkingly joined in this tide of emigration will be cat off from all supplies from the United States or elsewhere. It is to be hoped—althongh we bave no reason to be- lieve so—thet adequate supplies are now on their way there, else we fenr that Frazer river wisl pr eastrous and fatal to quadreds, if not thousands, of ovr fellow-citizens NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1858, Avoruse Revoworton 1 Mamtoo-—A few | to the wires suspended on land. From Port- | The New Work State Temperance Convention, daze since we had intelligence that ex-Governor Jusa José Bez had been arrested aud thrown into prison in the city of Mexico. Now we learn that this imprisonment—as is becoming quite the custom in the neighboring republic— bse been followed by a revolution and his in- vestiture with the supreme power of the State. It would seem as though the road from the prison to the palace is but a short one in the city of Montezuma, This intelligence has come by the wey of Panama and Acapulco, and few particulars of the revolution are given. It would seem, however, that it is not in favor of the advanced liberal party that has recently been battling under the banner of tho constitu- tion of 1857, against Zuloaga and the church party. The army has been placed ander com- mand of Generals Parrodi, Rangel and Traco- nis; and if some of these gentiemen have not changed their plan of action, the whole thing would seem to indicate an early recall of ex- President Comonfort. It may be, however, that each has aspirations of his own which would prevent that. : Senor Baz was Governor of the federal dis- trict of Mexico under Preaident Comonfort, and was one of his strongest supporters. He it was that announced to the last Congress that it had not another day of life on the eve of Zuloaga’s firet pronunciamiento, and is supposed to have ar- ranged the whole of that movement, which was afterwards co greatly changed. He is a man of great energy, and though a liberal, is not of the exalado echool. General Traconis was Presi- dent Comonfort’s Governor of the disaffected State of Puebla, and is supposed to belong to the same political school with Baz. Both are great enemies of the church rule. General Parrodi commanded the liberal forces at the unfortunate battle of Celaya, which resulted in the flight of President Juarez to Vera Cruz. The constitutionalista accuse him of having 801d the victory to General Osollos for a large sum of money; but there is reason to tl the weakness of Juarez and his cabinet was much the cause of the loss of that battle as any other operating power. The next advices from Mexico will be of great interest, as nothing is known of the course of Zuloaga and the priests. The church party are no doubt down, and the contest in Mexico will probably be between the ezaliado liberals and those of the Baz school. IuLcmmnation oF ovr Postic Buriprvas—Nor or Private Dweiiines.—We see from the pro- gramme, published elsewhere, of the celebration in this city on the occasion of the announce- ment of Queen Victoria’s and President Bu- chanan’s greeting through the transatlantic telegraph, that among other things it is recom- mended by the committee of the Common Coun- cil that the citizens illuminate their houses. We are sorry to see this recommendation. It could only be partially carried out, and we hope it will not be attempted at all. A large proportion of the families who could best afford to illumi- nate their houses are out of town. Those that are in town would rather go into the streets to witness the display of fireworks and the illu- mination of the public buildings, and hotels, than be confined at home attending to the light- ing up of their own houses. Besides these two sufficient reasons against the illumination of dwelling houses, there should be also taken into account the great danger of fires occurring from carelessness about it. We are therefore opposed to this suggestion of the committee, and hope that there will be no at- tempt to follow it. Let our public edifices and hotels be brilliantly illuminated, but let there be no attempt on the part of our citizens gene- rally to do any such thing. At best it can only be partial, and the proposition is therefore en- tirely ridiculous. Let it be therefore under- stood that there is to be no illumination of and that will follow in quick time.

Wasuinoton, August 11, 1858. ‘The vessels designed for the expedition to Para- guay will be in readiness ia about six weeks. Mean- while, there will have been so much talk about it that Lopez will be as well prepared for hostilities or defence as he could wish, if indeed he contemplates either. If he is a man of sense he will set himself to work to drive the best bargain he can with us fora brisktrade. Paraguay is one of the richest States in South America in resources, and has only to be made accessible in order to their proper develope- ment, The idea that Lopez objects to the opening of the navigation of the Paraguay because he wishes to monopolise his own carrying trade upon it is, if true, one which a proper agent could soon disabuse him of by the representation of the vast increase in that trade which must follow the admission of strangers who wish to buy the produce of his coun- try. Ifhe keeps commercial nations out his trade will all be among his own people, or those of the Argentine Republic and Brazil, on the opposite sides of the Paraguay and Parana, and can result in only a very slow developement of the resources of his beautiful country. Everything, therefore, de- pends upon the selection of the proper sort of per son. This isa commercial age. Commerce, in its most enlarged ‘and comprehensive sense, is king. No wars among civilized nations are waged except upon commercial questions, and even commercial nations can only afford to use the sword as the key with which to open up the trade of the half- civilized countries. The wants of commerce de- mand the opening of the South American rivers. It should be done peacefully; but it must be done, whether or no. The President will not return to town till Satur- day evening. Postmaster General Brown is now expected to. morrow. Attorney General Black was able to resume his duties at his office again to-day. General Johnston and his troops, with the excep- tion of the Sixth Infantry, ordered to Walla-Walla, will not be withdrawn from Salt Lake for the present. They will remain in sufficiently close proximity to the city to answer any call that may be made upon them by the civil authorities of the Territory. From this it may be supposed that the most implicit reliance is not placed in the word of Brigham and his godly Council. ‘THE GRNERAL NEWSPAPER oRAPATCH 'ASHINGTON, August 11, 1858, Al the Secretary of the would, if wear do recess toon, he, depositing the i uw recent loan, for inc’ together with premium of the po mee = them, it is believed that none will avail themselves of the privilege, and that Writhin fifteen days the en- d F} 5 dwell Printed. | The tural part will not be till About patents Tae Great Brrraw axp tHe Great East- Ohne take Ae toeeniinn Sap ieoe The receipts for the same period were $100,525.

And yet fifteen years is but a brief space of time. But what advances in shipbuilding and the mechanic arts have taken place since! The Great Britain is now classed among the smaller ocean steam- shipe. Her tonnage is less, by some two thou- sand tons, than that of the Niagara or the Van- derbilt; and both these splendid veseels are but liliputian in their dimensions when contrasted with the Great Eastern, now floating in the Thames, awaiting a start on her first voyage. They are not more than one-fifth her tonnage. This is a wondrous age; and this contrast be- tween the leviathan steamship of fifteen years since and that of to-day is as remarkable a proof of progress as need be cited. New Issve ror 1860.—The Charleston News presents a new political nigger iseue for 1860, to wit:—that “there must be positive legislative enactments, and a civil and criminal code for the protection of slave property in the Territories,’ passed by Congress. This is ran- ning ahead of the engine witha vengeance. But it is all bosh, There are no Territories of the United States remaining in which it would be worth a fillip to pass any such enactments as those indicated; and after their experience upon “Southern rights” in Kansas, we dare say our Southern politicians will be disposed to let the question of niggers in the Territories take care of itself. In 1860 all parties will have other fish to fry. Tue First Resronse—The Richmond An- quirer concurs in our views conoerning the policy of the administration and of the demo- cracy towards Kansas since the rejection of the Lecompton constitution.

The Late Election and its Results—Vice Presi- dent Breckinridge and the Kentucky Democracy— Crittenden and Lecompton—-Tom Porter and Tom Marshall—Blair, Barrett and Breckin ridge, Sc. The late election in Kentucky has resulted in the election of R. R. Revill, the democratic candidate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals, over George R. McKee, the Know Nothing candidate, by a ma- jority of not less than twelve thousand. The Clerk was the only State officer that was elected, and from this only can we judge of the state of parties in Kentacky. Heretofore the candidates for this office have not been party nominations, nor have they taken the stump. Revill was the regular no- minee of a democratic convention—the largestever held in the State-—and canvassed nearly every county. This convention reaffirmed the platform made at Cincinnati, and fully endorsed the course of the administration upon the Lecompton ques- tion. Revill advocated Lecompton upon every stump. In fact, it was the burthen of all his efforts. Know Nothing issues had passed away, and this, together with the public course of his opponent, formed the staple for his speeches. Besides, he was from the “State of Owen,” the county that more than everything else made Jobn C. Breckinridge Vice President, and Revill was known to be the particular friend of Major Breckinridge. The latter took the stump for Le- compton and Revill, and wougd up the canvass in Owen county but two days previous to the election. So you see that upon the democratic side the issne was fairly and squarely made: Lecompton, an en* dorsement of the Vice President and the democratic Congressmen of this State; or an endorsement of Mr. Crittenden and his confreres, Marshall and Un- derwood. George R. McKee was the regular nominee of a Know Nothing convention that assailed the administration. Every Know Nothing pa- per in the State, with the single exception of the Louisville Journal, assailed with virulence the course of the administration—denounced Lecompton, and sustained Crittenden and his allies. Upon every stamp McKee denonnoed the repeal of the Missouri compromise and the passage of the Ne- braska bill; he denounced the President and assailed the supporters of the Lecompton constituti Bo eg FT TR as ‘equally made on the side 90 1 wa for by the y.
