By the arrival yesterday of the steamship North- ern Light at this port, and the North Briton at Quebec, we have news from Europe to the 8th inst., four days later than previous accounts. The poli- tical intelligence is unimportant. The financialand commercial news, however, is very interesting. The Liverpool cotton market was buoyant, and an ad- vance in prices isreported. The breadstuffs market reports are also favorable, with au improvement in flour of sixpence per barrel. There was an increase of ease in the London money market. Consols on the 7th closed at 96j a 96] for money, and 97 for account—an advance of quarter Iper cent. In American securities there was little doing. and prices were steady. The stoppage of signals through the Atlantic cable was announced in the London papers on the 6th inst., in a letter from the Secretary of the Com- pany. The letter states that intelligible signals failed to be received from Newfoundland at one o’clock on the morning of the 3d, from some un- known cause. The directors and a corps of scien- tific and practical electricians were at Valentia, with the view if possible to remedy the difficulty. On the receipt of the news the shares of the stock of the company immediately became quite nominal, the only price named being £400 to £500 sterling, without any operations. The par value of the shares is £1,000 sterling. Our reports from the American end of the cable are somewhat similar to those received from Velentia. They do not, however, agree in several particulars. It is believed, however, that the difficulty, whatever it may be, can be overcome, and that the line will shortly be in working order. At all events, the general sentiment on both sides of the Atlantic is very decided, that as one cable has been success fully laid and successfully worked, other cables can and should be put down, so that a temporary acci- dent to any one of them may not stop communica- tioa between the two continents. The Board of Councilmen met last evening. An important communication was received from the Street Commissioner, but for some reason it wa passed over without any action upon it on the part of the Board. The document developes the facts coocerning certain alleged defalcations in the Bu reau of Assessments during the term of office o Joseph R. Taylor. The amount involved is upwards | of $200,000. The paper alluded to is given in our | report of the proceedings, published in another co Juma. The Corporation Counsel was instructed to state why the injunction obtained by the Williams- berg Forry Company restraining the Common Council from ordering the advertising of the lease of Peck slip for « ferry, was permitted to go by de- fault. Aresolution proposed by Mr. Dunn, pro- | posing the appropriation of $20,000 for the repair of the roads of the city, was referred to the Com- mittee on Roads. Mr. Brady offered a resolution directing the Corporation Counsel to answer the order of the Court restraining the Common Council from acting on a paper from the Aldermen relative | to the repeal of an ordinance prohibiting steam be | low Forty-second street, and to have the injunction | removed forthwith if possible. The Board of Supervisors held a meeting last | evening. A communication was received from the Mayor, nominating Andrew H. Mickle, Philip | W. Bngs and Abraham M. Cozzens as Commission ers for building the new City Hall. It was referred to Committee on City Hall. In answer to a resolu- tion of the Board, the Comptroller sent in a state ment showing that the sum of $1.526 55 had been | paid on judgments against the Corporation for ser vices rendered in cleaning and taking charge of | station houses from Ist May to Ist August, 1957. After transacting considerable routine business the Board adjourned to Tuesday next The Board of Ten Governors held their regular Meeting yesterday. The salary of the Superinten ent of the Island Hospital was increased to $6 per day, bia deputy to $5, and the salary of Major Hurker, Superintendent of the Penitentiary Exten. tion, to %. The institutions have now a population of 8,817 persons, an increase of 36 over the previous week, and of 643 over the previous year. The Pre- | sident and Secretary were suthorized to draw their checks for two sums of $25,000 cach for the sup port of the department. After the transaction of other unimportant routine «business the Board ad fourned. The democratic factions of the Second Congres sional district of New York held their nominating conventions yesterday. The Bradley, or soft or xenization, re-nominated Hon. George Taylor, the present representative, by acclamation. The Van Gerbilt, or hard faction, nominated Edwin C. Litch field on the first regular ballot. Tne ballotting stood 29 for Litchfield, and 23 for James H. Hut chins. The Republican Convention of the Second district met last evening, and after referring the question of the contested seats to a committee, ad journed till the 11th of October without making a nomination. The most prominent candidates are Police Commissioner Stranabon, Gen. H. B. Duryea and R. C. Underhill There was not much business transacted in the Court of General Sessions yesterday. Frederick Hill pleaded guilty to stealing $59 worth of pro perty from Jas. W. Wallack, and was sent to the State prison for two years. James Peterson, | desperate struggle on the part of Doug: charged with stealing $444 worth of jewelry, the property of George Brodie, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, and was remanded for mentence. Gustavus Ludwig, indicted for an at tempt at arson in the first degree in firing the dwelling house of Henry Miller, pleaded guilty to an attempt to commit the fourth grade of that offence, which plea was accepted by the District Attorney. He was remanded for sentence by the Gi dates, The Giraud Jury came iate court with ® batch of indictments, and retired to resume the discharge of their dutica. The Russian frigate General was launched yesterday morning shortly after cight o'clock, from the yard. of Wm. H. Webb, Esq., foot of Sixth street. It is estimated that fifty thousand people were present, of whom about three thousand were on board of the frigate. The launch was perfectly successfal. Tn another column will be found a card from Hon. George Taylor, who represents the Second (Brook- lyn) district in Congress, contradicting the state- ment that there was an understanding or arrange- ment between himself and Cornelius Wendell, in relation to the investigation of alleged corrup- tions in the system of doing the public printing. Mr. Taylor is a candidate for re-election, and as he has proved himselfan excellent representative, and is only obnoxious to the plunderers of the treasury, he ought to be returned. A curious case of alleged wife murder is now under investigation before Justice Welah, for par- ticulars of which we would refer our readers to another column. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 800 bales, closing without change in prices. After the receipt of the North Briton’s mews the holders became firmer in thoir views, though no sales of sufficient moment were made to tees the market. Flour was generally firmer and in good demand, and many descriptions were sold at better prices. ‘The sales were to ® fuir extent: Good-to primo milling qualities of wheat were acatce and quite firm, while infe. Tior grades wore irregular. Corn was decidedly firmer and in good request, with sales of some 45,000 bushels at rates given in another column. Pork was heavy, with moderate sales of mess at $17 a $17 20, and of prime at $16 a $15 25. Sugars were steady, with sales of about 1,200 hhds., part on speculation, at p. t., and the remain- der at prices given in another column. Coffee was firm and sales moderate. The stock of Rio and Santos con- sisted of about 23,800 bags, and the total of all kinds amounted to about 47,830 bags. Freight engagements were moderate, while rates were steady. New York, Dlinots and Virginia-The Con- flict of Leaders, Cliques and Parties. The political leaders, Presidential aspirants, cliques, factions and parties of New York, Illi- nois and Virginia of the present day, and the singular phases of the conflict which is now going on among these leaders, cliques and fac- tions in cach of these States, present a very curious and interesting chapter for the consider- ation of the political philosopher. In New York, while the late fusion movement between the republicans and Americans has sig- nally collapsed, the “union and harmony” ef- fected among the democracy at Syracuse are by no means as complete and consoling as could be desired. The attempted coalition between the republicans and Americans failed simply be- cause the republicans thought the demand from the other side for the sacrifice of W. H. Seward and his good man Friday, Thurlow Weed, too high a price for the doubtful vote of the Know Nothing faction. The union and harmony of the democracy, on the other hand, were not so much the results of mutual concessions between the contending factions as the consequences of an uncompromising and decisive Tammany Hall majority. The result in the election may be a decisive union of “hards” and “gofts” on the State ticket; but there is an under- current on both sides, especially in this city, which, upon side issues of greater practical value than the State ticket, will be the controlling in- fluences of the canvass, Some of our newspaper cotemporaries set down the complete success of the “softs” at Sy- racuse as a death blow to the Presidential aspi- rations of Daniel S. Dickinson, when, we dare say, that the alleged aspirations of Dickinson, and intrigues of the Dickineon faction, are nothing more than the weak devices of the other side to cover up their stealthy designs in behalf of Doug- las and the Douglas plotters for the succession. The Douglas Tammany men have seen enough, however, to know that their only safety for the present is under the sheltering wings of the ad- ministration. The administration, therefore, can- not complain, but it cannot recognise the issues thus made up as possessing any elements of vital importance. Should our democratic State ticket be elected in November, it will, per- haps, only amount to a temporary ar- mistice; and should this ticket be de- feated, it will only leave the quarrel between the two factions where it was left when the anti- Tammany delegates were turned out of the tabernacle at Syracuse. In this view of the imbroglio, the success or the defeat of the democratic State ticket becomes a matter of comparative indifference to the ad- ministration, and only a matter of importance to the faction which has assumed the exclusive con- trol of the party. The prospect is, however, that upon the single question of sustaining the admi- nistration, the democratic masses of both factions will cordially support the State ticket and elect it, and confine the quarrel, for the present, be- tween hards and softs, to side issues, leaving the general outstanding account open for a more de- finite settlement hereafter. But while in New York, from the overshadow- ing supremacy of the administration, the Doug- las sympathizers have felt constrained to remain under cover, the pending campaign in Illinois gives us the refreshing exhibition of an open and gainst the administration, for life or death. Nor is it at all likely that Douglas can be fighting | this battle with the energy and untiring activity which he displays upon the simple question of a re-election to the Senate, He is fighting his decisive preliminary fight for 1860, If successful in this we may soon expect some interesting developements in other States, West, Eaet and South, in behalf of Mr. Douglas ae the man for the Charleston Convention; while, with his defeat in November, we shall not be surprised to be next informed that he has taken the field as the head of an independent Presi- dential movement, after the faebion of Martin Van Buren. In this view of the Illinois campaign we leave the sagacious democratic reader to determine whether it will be better for the democratic party of the Union that Douglas should be suc cessful or defeated in his present desperate strug: gle to recover his position in the party camp. It is enough for our present purpose to suggest that the movements of the party candidates and cliques for the succession, North and South, in any event, will be sharply developed accord- ing to the result in Illinois and the fate of Douglas In this connection the existing disturbances mong the Virginia democracy upon the ques- tion of their candidate for Governor, are admis- sible of a simple solution. Ever since Mr. Bu- chanan’s election the party in the Old Dominion has been io a state of great commo- tion and effervescence; and the uninitiated reader of the Virginia democratic organs has found it utterly impossible to get at the head or the tail of these terrible squabbles, and quarrels, ond fights, and challenges, and duels among the chivalry of that ancient commonwealth. But (hore are {wo rival demogratic candidates ia Yur his back, and hence all this fuse and in the family at Richmond of the last Gov. Wiseis ahighly popajar man. He has do much to advance or put back the Governor, it can hardly prevent him from roughebod over Hunter on the way to ton. Still, the Virginia quafrel “is a very. one aa it stands,” and we shall not spoil it. . To eum up: From this exhibit of the differ- ences pon men which have prevented a fusion of the opposition forces of New York, and of the differences, rivalries and quarrels be- tween men and cliques and faetions, which distract the democracy of New York, Minoisand Virginia, we may form pretty fair judgment of the disorder, demoralization and confusion which prevail among the democracy and the opposition throughout the country. Experience has shown, however, in repeated instances since 1836, when | the democracy began‘to lose the prestige of Gen. Jackson; that their superior discipline, in any important battle, is always equal toa large de- ficiency in the popular vote; while the heavy pre- ponderaace of the opposition vote, from the want of discipline and union among them, can seldom be brought to bear. Thus we may safely assume, in spite of all the existing troubles and squabbles of the democra- cy, that by the year 1860, upon the common platform of the administration, and in view of the spoils of the succession, all these troubles and squabbles will be harmonized; while, on the other side, we may with equal safety conclude that unless the opposition factions shall agree to disagree upon popery and slavery, and combine upon some such man as General Scott, whose na- tionality and popularity will be a sufficient plat- form for every section and faction, the campaign of 1860 will be but a repetition, with some trifling variations, of the campaign of 1856. The late action of the republicans at Syracuse is equivalent to the declaration that at all haz- ards, and against all possible contingencies, the Seward managers of New York intend to make their champion their candidate for the succes- sion. In this view, while the chances for the de- mocracy upon our State officers are largely in- creased, the defeat of the Seward party in New York this full may be the saving of the opposi- tion in 1860. Moroan Reviveo.—Thurlow Weed has intré- duced lately an edition of Morgan accompanied with copious explanatory notes, biographical, critical, political and commercial. It seems that somebody has been mistaken in the birth place of this Morgan, who is running on the Weed ticket for Governor, and so Thurlow sets the matter right so far as the party organs are con- cerned. But certain grave doubts as to this Mor- ganatic demonstration have arisen in the public mind, and Weed should explain them away at once. It is recollected that about thirty years ago Weed trotted out a Morgan, and on the strength of a pamphlet purporting to have been written by him, and making some awful dis- closures about the horrible doings of the Free Masons, Thurlow formed a new party. The Mor- gan of that day was spirited away from Batavia, and never heard of again. A dead body was af- terwards found in Lake Ontario, and it was al- leged to be the corpse of Morgan, who was said to have been killed by the Masons. To be sure the identity of the body with that of Morgan was not proven, but in politics futs are of not much consequence, and as Weed naively remarked, “it was a good enough Morgan until after election.” Now there are people who say that the Morgan of Batavia and the Morgan who is now running for Governor, are identical ; that Weed spirited bim away from | Batavia, and has kept him in the back ground ever since. Like the old negro woman with the eels, he has concluded to “ set him again.” It isasort of a Barnum Joyce Heth, or mermaid dodge, so they say. We hope our amiable co- temporary will let us know whether this is the real Morgan of Batavia, or a sham affair got up | to answer Weed’s purpose “till after election.” Let us know all about it. Wuar's ts tae Wixo ty Copat—Our ad vices from Cuba state that large purchases of | powder and arms had been recently made in Hayana, in a way not to attract the attention of the government, and that seditious cireulars were being freely distributed among the free blocks. It is evident that matters are not so quict in Cuba as they seem upon the surface to | be, and that trouble is brewing there for Spain. Any attempt to appeal to the blacks fur the pur- pose of overthrowing the government is most reprehensible, and can only result in the rain of the island. It is, however. only following the example set by the Spanish rulers there, who have armed and drilled several black regiments, while they strictly prohibit the native whites from entering the army or learning the use of arms. These new revolutionary movements have a double beaded connection in this coun- try, one headquarters being in this city and another in New Orleans. The operations of the conspirators will give Senor Tassara, the Spanish Minister at Washington, something to do, and we advise him to keep his eyes open and his wits about him. Let him beware, however, of speculators who are ready to sell bim infor- mation on easy terms. The sharpers are out Tur Tammany Spurr. \\ that the ou siders of Tammany have ht » tre and have resolved to support the § onsullation, © ticket pominated at Syracuse, but to open a grand fight | upon the Congressional and county nominations, putting up seperate tickete throughout. The breach seems to have lx made irreparable, and the factions wre mor ever before. These local quarrels afford mach amusement to the genera! poblic at the expense of the candidates. Whit is fun for the former is death to the latter. Let the war proceed, ond the longest livers end the loudest talkers will be sure to win. Tae Axrt-Tawmasy Pacty Morios. -Our readers will have observed thas from the prelimi nary movements of the anti-Tammany democracy of this city, their programme will probably be « cordial support of the State ticket of Parker and company, and a very independent system of tac- ties upon local candidates. The probabilities ave decidedly in favor of four distinct parties in ow city contests of November and December— the republican, American, Tammany and anti- Tammany parties. A fifth is still needed—the taxpayer's party-—and now is the time to ganize it.

Tne QuaRantine Excrrament.—The immense assembage of the citizens of Richmond county, comprisng many of our most enterprising com- mereial men, which took place at Richmond, Staten and, on Monday, was one of the most remarkale popular protests against the imbecile tyranny of government officials and the plun- dering o' political jobbers that has ever been witnessel. The expression of public opinion was of tle most unanimous character, and the rights o/the citizens were triumphantly vindi- cated. It was shown that the location of the Quarartine establishment there was strenuously opposed by the inhabitants at the time, and that it was -ffected by one of those acts of official ty- ranny which are a perpetual violation of all indivicual rights, and which become more op- pressive as population increases. It was proved —ever by the testimony of the Quarantine of- ficials—that it was not only an inadequate, but an unit location for a lazaretto; and the charges of inhunanity, on the part of those who abated the misance, toward the sick in the hospitals, were sompletely disproved. Yet in the face of all these facts and confes- sions, the Commissioners of Emigration are de- termined to expend the funds of the State in re- buildng the establishment on a location which the Health Officers confess to be unfit, which the entim people condemn, and which they them- selves well know will have to be removed at an early day. Officie) stupidity and the tyranny of political spoils-mongers could go no farther. The question of the Quarantine will be settled by The President returned to Washington this’ evening. His private secretary also returned. ‘The Spanish Minister paid yesterday into the State De- partment twenty-five thousand five hundred dollars, in- terest of the debt of Spain to American citizens. ‘The State Department will do what is proper in the case of Weeks, American mate of the bark Waveriey, now prisoner at Sevillo, Spain. Both the late aud present Consuls, as well as the British Consul at Manila, exerted themselves in procuring able counsel and ottftrwise to save the prisoners, and by these means to obtain the Uberation of most of them, and commutation of the pun- ishment of the mate and second mate. Killing three hundred human beings by smothering them, pouring hot water through hatches on them, &c., seems a horrible crime; but whether Weeks and the first mate were re- sponsible, is a question. It is understood atthe State Department that the mate, Mr. French, is dead. If there be extenuating circumstances, and owr goverument can save Weeks, it will. A full list of the vessels determined upon by the Navy Department to compose the Paraguay expedition is an- nexed:—Frigate Sabine, flag ship; brigs Dolphin, Bain. bridge, Perry, and Probie; steamers Harriet Lane, Ful- ton and Water Witch, supply.

Gazzaniga was very cordially received, and sang with: more than her usual fervor and dramatic effect, vindicating her claim to the position of the loading prima donna inthe Verdi operas. As a representative of the modern Italian school of romantic lyrical dramas, Mme. Gazzaniga must have all tho laurels. There may be, musically speaking, bes- ter oxecutants, but, as a whole, there are no better expo- nents of the whole scope of such réles as Leonora. The ea- thusiasm of the audience last night proves that the public is quite agreed upon this point. Brignoli and Amodio sang as wellasever, andthe performance was a capital one altogether. On Thursday Mie. Colson sings the ‘Traviata’ for the second time. The merits of the performance are great and the atiendance should be correspondingly good. THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH.
