The News. The steamship Borussia arrived at this port yes terday morning from Hamburg and Southampton, with European news to the 18th ult., two days later than the advices previously received. The intelli- gence is not important. A decree has been pub- lished in Madrid which places American steamers running regularly between ports of the United States and Cuba on the same footing as the English mail steamers visiting Cuban ports. The difficulty between France and Portugal remained unadjusted. Atlantic Telegraph shares had fallen to £300 a £350, ‘There was no change of moment in the Liverpool American produce markets, and consols in London remained as previously reported A letter from our correspondent at Caracas, dated ‘9th inst.,which may be found in another column,gives an interesting résumé of the state of affairs in Vene- zuclw The republic enjoyed a degree of tranquillity unknown for many years, and the business interests of the country were slowly recovering from the effects of the late political disorders, A report of the address of our Minister, Mr. Turpin, upon the occasion of his official presen- tation to the Provisional President, is also given. Our correspondent at Puerto Cabello, writing on the 12th ult, says:—Veneznela is now perfectly tranquil, and only awaits the arrival of General Pacz to commence a new era in the history of the republic. With the governing powers that are to be the American Minister and bis countrymen will be most cherished of all foreigners, and the com merce of ezuela will be inseparable with that of the United States. The French and English functionaries are received with coldness and indif- ference. The markets are becoming more lively, and produce from the interior is abundant, and coming to town in large quantities. Our advices from Havana state that there was much feeling there against the Captain General, in consequence of certain proceedings after the ex- plosion of the powder magazine. An expedition of four bundred marines on board the steamship Berenguela had been sent to Tampico to force Garza to make restitution of the money he had made the foreign merchants pay. Two British screw steamers had arrived with coolie slaves, and another was reported to have landed 1,600 negroes from Africa. Complaints were made against the Acting American Consul, Mr. Savage, for exceasive interference with ships in his zeal against the African traders. Don Miguel Embil, who has late ly been conspicuous in a suit against the Captain General, had disappeared in order to avoid arrest. The sugar market was more active, and stock on hand somewhat reduced. Our correspondent at Turks Island, writing on the 17th ult., says:—The weather has been and con- tinues most favorable for salt raking. The quan- tity has been steadily increasing, notwithstanding @ comp ly fair export trade. The present price is7 jc. per bushel, with a stock on hand of over 600,000 bushels. A new contract has been negotiated with the government of Bermuda, which will require all our surplus stock, even in the most favorable seasons, for which we receive in return | one-half cash and the balance in vegetables. The latter will always command a ready market here by the population and vessels touching and departing, The take of turtle is very large, nearly all of which are purchased for the English market.

It is given under the tele- graphic head. The contest in the Third Congressional district of | this city is warmly carried on between the adher- ents of the two democratic candidates, Daniel E. Sickles and Hiram Walbridge. Open air meetings were held on Saturday night, when Mr. Sickles im” proved the opportunity on his side by pitching into Fernando Wood, and the latter gentleman returned the compliment by showing up Mr. Sickles. As personalities are usually piquant, and as there is an old proverb applicable to the case which the public will apply for themselves, we give reports of the speeches of the two politi- cal gladiators. Apropos—There was a rumor in circulation last evening to the effect that Mr. Wil- liamson, one of the opposition candidates for Con- gress in the Third district, had agreed to withdraw from the canvas The new brick church at Murray Hill, Fifth ave- nue and Thirty-seventh street, was yesterday dedi- cated to the service of the Most High. The morn- ing devotions were conducted by the venerable pastor, the Rey. Dr. Spring, and the building was so full that it could accommodate no more. The services were extremely interesting, and the pastor preached a beautiful and impressive sermon, of which we supply a report in another column. The anniversary of the dedication of the John Street Methodist church, which event took place in 1768, was celebrated yesterday by appropriate re- ligious services. This church was the first of the Methodist denomination erected in this country. The affidavits of the trusiees of the Ohio Life and Trust Company, in relation to the affairs of that exploded institution, have been made public. They present some curious facts, and open to view a part of the inside management of the concern previous to its failure. The case has been some days before the conrts of Cincinnati, and on the 28th ult. Judge Leavitt, of the United States District Court, de- livered a deci-ion on the motion for a receiver, and ay Ghokon, of the Supreme Court of Cincinnati, onasimilar motion. Both courts sustained their respective jurisdiction, and there are, therefore, two receivers. The officer appointed by the local Court is in possession of the property. The sales of cotton on Saturday embraced about 2,000 bales, including 250 in transitu. The market for parcels to arrive was some easier, while for lots on tho spot there was no change to notice. The inclemency of the weather interfered somewhat with transactions in breadstults Flour was unchanged, while sales were moderate and chiefly to the home trade, Wheat was quiet, sales being limited .to prime white Southern at $1 45a $150, and white Kentucky do, at $1.50. Corn was heavy; the s embraced about 18,000 bushels at 67c. a 68¢. and latter figure for small lots of choice. Pork was he and prices irregular; sales of mess were made at $1 and $16 80, and primo at $13 50 a $13 75 for new and Sugars were firm, and closed at c. advance. The stock of hogeheads was only about 25,816, of which 1,432 were afterwards sold, leaving a stock on hand of ouly 24,384 hogsheads. Coffee was firm, but quiet. Freight engage ments were moderate, and rates unchanged, The Election To-morrow—Are the People Prepared to Vote for a Bloody Civil War? The political issue which is to be submitted to the people of this State to-morrow has been boldly and brutally stated by William H. Sew- ard to be, “whether the cotton and rice fields of South Carolina and the sugar plantations of Louisiana shall ultimately be tilled by free labor, and Charleston and New Orleans become marts for legitimate merchandise alone, or whether the rye and wheat fields of Massachusetts and New York shall be again surrendered by their farmers to slave culture and to the production of slaves, and Boston and New York become once more markets for trade in the bodies and souls of men.” It was for the purpose of springing this insane issue upon the people of New York that Tbur- low Weed refused, at Syracuse, to take a seat in the back car of the opposition train, and that the true features of the canvass in favor of Mor- gan for Governor were kept back until the speech of Seward, at Rochester, a few days since. The issue is artfully stated in the quo- tation we have given above, so as to make it appear that a great contest is going on be- tween the social institutions of the North and the South, in which one must eventually triumph, to the utter destruction of the other. This assumption, so far as regards any effort on the part of the South to take possession of the rye and wheat fields of New England and this and of the markets of Boston and New York, and fill them with slaves, is pure nonsense and folly, No man knows this better than Win. H. Seward. No man knows better than he that the most active scene of life and expansion in this country is in the Northern States. Besides the evidences which are everywhere exhibited in the North of material prosperity and increase of population and social power, it is the North that harbors the aggressive spirit which characterizes the country. It was the North that was ready to fight for Aroostook and the Northeastern boundary ; that endeavored to stir up the Cana- dian rebellion and steal those provinces from the British crown ; that has extended its grasp over three-fourths of the productive land of the Terri- tories; that run six fighting men into Kansas to one from the South; that sent its Ely Thayers into Virginia to drive the niggers southward ; and it ie the North which now wishes to get up thie razzia on the South, and Wm. H. Seward who wishes to lead it. The trae issue, then, which he presents to the voters of New York, and in favor of which every vote cast to-morrow for Morgan will be claimed, is involved in the first part of his proposition. Will New York proclaim that “the cotton and rice fields of South Carolina and the sugar plan- tations of Louisiana shall be tilled by free labor alone?” This is the issue, as Mr. Seward puts it; and it carries a brutal and a bloody meaning. It involves a total destruction of all existing things in the Southern States. The bonds of society must be swept away. An inferior and brutal race must be admitted to social and political equality with the superior race, or it must be driven out. The cotton, tobacco, sugar and rice, St | that now form so large a portion of our commer- cial exchanges, must cease to be produced. The scenes that have marked the same policy in Hayti, Jamaica, and many portions of Spanish America, must be reproduced in the Southern portions of this Union. The fields must be turned into barren wastes, or allowed to be overrun by the forest, the eprings of commerce dried up, in- dustry everywhere destroyed, education neglect- ed, churches and schools allowed to fall into decay, the rite of marriage and fhe observance of family ties abandoned, and a savage barbarism installed where peace, order and social progress now rule. This is no imaginary picture. Its reality may be seen in every one of the intertrepical coun- tries of America where the inferior race has been released from the control and guidance of the superior. The islands of the West Indies and the shores of Mexico and the Spanish Main present a reality far more terrible than the picture we have drawn, An occasional island, like Barbadees, crowded with negroes to star tion point, who hold each other in check under white organization and rule, is no logical excep- tion. And how is this brutal programme to be carricd out when the Constitution guarautecs the right of self-government to every State? A vote of two-thirds of the States can change the Constitution, says Seward. And so, in order to ; carry it out, the Constitution is to be amended, und the South is to be deprived of the right of self-government. This is the true aim of Seward and his uaseru- pulous followers, and to-morrow the vote of the free men of New York is to be taken on that question. The personal qualifications or dis- qualifications of the candidates have nothing to do with it. It behooves every man in the com- mercial metropolis of this great Union, and in the Empire State of New York, to look well where such doctrines as Seward has enunciated at Rochester will lead him in the end. Every merchant, every manufacturer, every mechanic, every laborer, is deeply and personally interested in the question. And on these active classes of society hang all the others, and the value of our lands, our railroads, our ships, and everything that we possess, Let them look to it, then. Every vote in favor of Morgan is a vote in favor of carrying sword and fire into the South. We ask every man the question: Are you prepared to vote for a civil war throughout the length and breadth of this fair land? That is what you will vote for if you vote for Morgan. Important from Washington—Combined Ac tion of England and France in the Central American Imbroglio. Our Washington despatches, published this morning, are of the highest importance. They announce that England and France have united in addressing a note to our government, of an imperative character, taking ground in favor of ying out the convention between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, under which M. Felix Belly and his associates are to construct an interoceanic canol, ond calling upon the United States, under the provisions of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, to unite with them in maintaining invio- late the neutrality of the Isthmus. We are inclined to place confidence in this information, as it obtains ample corroboration, not only from the tone of the recent articles in the London and Paris papers which are regarded as the or- gans of the government, but also from the letter of Lord Malmesbury to M. Belly, in which the English Secretary declares that “the stipula- tions of the treaty between Great Britain and the Uniied States of the 19th April, 1850, com- monly called the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, will, in my opinion, apply to this scheme (Belly’s pro- jected canal) if carried out.” I. is already sufficiently evident fhat the back- ing and filling of the Nicaragua government and its Minister, Senor Jerez, upon the subject of the Cass-Yrisarri treaty, was a part of the general policy adopted for the purpose of giving time to perfect the understanding with the English and French governments, the announcement of which is now made. What the organs of those govern- ments chose to designate as the aggrandizing spirit of the United States is to be checked, and henceforth we are to be called upon to play a se- condary part in shaping the destinies of the con- tiguous States, the dominant power being cen- tered in the hands of that European alliance which we were warned, three years ago, had in view not only the regulation of the affairs of the Old World, but also of the New. This Anglo- French alliance, having carried out the first por- tion of its programme, is now, according to our information, prepared to enter upon the second act; and whilst the Cabinet at Washington is ad- vised of the ultimatum arrived at, the fleets of the combined Powers are on their way to give phy- sical effect to the fiat which has gone forth. It is useless to deny that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty on its face appears to give coloring to the position assumed by England and France in favor of M. Belly’s contract. But England has vio- lated the spirit of this treaty from the first, and even to-day the Mosquito protectorate pretension is practically kept up as much as it ever was, It is, therefore, somewhat impertinent in her to quote the provisions of a treaty which she has never carried out in good faith—which she has tacitly confessed was a trick to try and over- reach the United States, and which is only now quoted as an excuse foran active interference in Central American affuirs—the very object the convention was designed on our part to prevent. As for the White and Vanderbilt qnarrels, the American public feel no sympathy for either of them. If the contract for opening the communi- cation had been held by enterprising American citizens, who desired to carry out the work asa legitimate enterprise, and not as a fancy stock speculation, the blunders of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, so fur as they affect the Isthmus commu- nication, would never have been practically felt. Now, the stupidity of former administrations and the miserable quarrels of a parcel of speculators, have enabled England and France to interpose and initiate a policy of interference in the affairs of this continent adverse alike to the interests, honor and character of the United States. We have every confidence in the courage and capacity of the President to meet the occasion as it deserves. The presence of the combined fleete in the waters of Central Ameriga can have no effect in coercing the United States into a positiongother than that she might see fit volun- tarily to assume. Whatever rights our citizens may have must be protected at all hazards; nor can we permit England and France to go one step beyond that point which affects our safety or our honor. But it cannot be concealed that the time has arrived when a practical solution must be had of the delicate subjects which sur- round this Central American question, That solution may force the United States to the adop- tion of that aggrandizing policy which they are now falsely accused of. When upon so slight an excuse as the carrying out of a contract between M. Belly and other adventurers and a petty State of Central America, the combined fleets of France and England are crowded forward to menace us, it becomes a grave consideration whether our safety does not compel us at once to place our political and geographical borders in a state of defence. Menaced from abroad, the United States may be forced to see that we should at once be possessed of the key to the Gulf—Cuba; and that a protectorate, or even the annexation of Mexico, is necessary for our more perfect security. Up to this day the United States do not own a foot of ground they did not purchase; but a combination of the des- potic Powers of Europe against us may compel us to hasten our destiny, so as to present on the continent of North America on unbroken front to the attacks of our foes. We have no doubt that it is true, as stated, that Sir Gore Ouseley hastened his departure so as to leave Lord Napier the diffieult task of ex- plaining why it has been deemed necessary on the part of his government to notify us of their views and rend at the same mom: nt a combined fleet to foree a compliance. The moment for action bas arrived, and we trust the first atep the President will take will be to strengthen our naval forces in the Nicaraguan waters by send- ing every gun which can be spared to protect ovr citizens there. Exserioy Eve.—The eve of All Suint’s Day and the eve of election day, in which the saints have precious little interest or concern, happen to occur about the same time. Very different, however, are the accompaniments of each. The one is celebrated with religious services in some of the churches, and with the observance of those quaint and peculiar customs that have descended to us from our Anglo Saxon ancestry. The marks of the other are large banners suspended across the streets, with the names of the various candidates for office inscribed upon them; open air meetings, at which politicians spout non- sense in unstinted measure; torchlight pro- cessions; tar barrels burning in the streets; collec- tions of ragged boys and rowdy politicians march- ing to the music of brass bands, carrying colored lanterns and transparencies, burning blue lights and Roman candles, and disturbing the quiet of respectable neighborhoods. _ When the election is over and these nuisances are abated, the decent people of the city will have cause to rejoice. In the meantime, election eve must be celebrated as well as Hallow E’en. The one is more to the taste of Young America than the other, and here every one has a right to consult his own taste. So, on the eve of election day we must not grumble at the devices of the poli- ticians to get up enthusiasm. We must only laugh at the banners and the processions, and the bon- fires and the music, and the spouting, knowing too that all this is not without its corresponding ad- vantages in the shape of a large expenditure and circulation of money. We give to-day some account of the appear- ance of the city, so far as these political banners are concerned. One cannot walk half a dozen blocks in any of the leading thoroughfares with- out passing under a huge piece of canvass, with the universal device of the spread eagle, and learning that Jones or Smith, or Brown or Ro- binson are the anti-Lecompton or democratic aspirants for public office. Large posters cover the dead walls of the metropolis with similar announcements. They are lettered on the side- walks, and even on the walls of houses; and a stranger to the city might imagine that New York was singularly blessed with a plethora of virtuous, honest, unselfish public men, anxious to serve her for her, not their own, good. How far such a supposition tallies with the reality our citizens know to their cost. The outlay which these candidates for public office have to make in the course of a cam- paign would form a very curious study, and its results would be quite suggestive. First, the nomination has to be paid for, and paid for liberally. The price, of course, depends upon the salary of the office, or the estimate of what it may be made to yield. It is known that $10,000 has been paid for a nomination to the Mayoralty, and a like sum for that to the Street Commissionership. Some people might possibly fail to see the great advantage to be derived from paying $10,000 for an office the salary of which for the whole term did not exceed $9,000; but office holders and office seekers have a knack of reconciling this little anomaly in a mode profitable to themselves, but not so profitable to the community. The nomination being secured, it then becomes necessary to pay for the banners, for the music, for the torchlight processions, for the speakers, and the platforms on which they stand, for the artillery discharges, for the sky rockets and Roman candles, for the notices in the Sunday newspapers, and for the enthusiasm generally. It costs about $2,000 to be elected to the office of Coroner, a like sum to be a mem- ber of the Common Council, $5,000 to get to Congress, $15,000 to be elected Street Commis- sioner or Sheriff, $20,000 to be elected Mayor, and so on in proportion to the estimated value of the post, or of what may be made out of it. Independently of the candidates for State offices and for Congress, we have in New York sixty-four candidates for county offices, whose aggregate outlay in the effort to get elected can- not fall fur short of a quarter million of dollars. With the expenditure for the State and Congres- sional tickets, including the prices paid for no- mination, the whole sum spent in this city on the election may be fairly set down at half a million of dollars. How public spirited, gener- ous and munificent must be our politicians, or else how corrupt must be the conduct of our office holders! The records of the Grand Jury room and of the criminal courte indicate pretty conclusively how the matter stands, Vorr vor Taxpayers To-Morrow.—-The con- test for the election of county officers and Assem- blymen to-morrow will be of a somewhat novel character. In many of the Assembly districts three or four tickets will be presented. Regular, irregular and independent democrats, as well as republicans, Americans and fusionists, are on these different tickets; party lines seem broken, and the parties themselves, in a measure, disin- tegrated. So much the better; the people will have a better chance of making a good selection, and they should look well to one thing, namely, that the delegation which this city sends to Al- bany will exercise a most important influence on our city affairs, and it is, therefore, a matter of great moment that honest, faithful and capable men should be elected. A word of counsel to the voters of all parties—to the taxpaying por- tion of them especially. Vote for no man for the Assembly who has not some stake in the city, and who does not contribute in the shape of taxes to its support. In the list which will be found in another column there are twenty-one taxpayers ont of the forty-eight candidates for Assembly; there are only seventeen members to be elected; select the best seventeen out of the twen- ty-one, and scratch the tickets right and left. Send no one but a taxpayer to the Legislature— remember that. Official corruption in the City Hall, and in the Albany lobby, acting in combi- nation, has reduced this city to a condition which is a disgrace to any civilized metropolis, It is no use to put good men into the city and county offices while we elect a corrupt or incompetent delegation to Albany to legislate for our local government, There are enough of capable, in- telligent, upright taxpayers on the tickets for Aseombly; vote for them whatever their politics may be, and scratch off the others without com- punction. Follow the same course with the coun- ty ticket, and we will have adopted the first prac- tical measure towards establishing an indepen- dent party, and vindicating popular rights against the ruinous tyranny of faction The Turf.

Joint Note of the English and French Govern~ ments tpon the Central American Question —Belly’s Canal Contract to be Carried Out Under the Protection of the French and Brit~ ish Fleets—The Clayton-Buiwer Treaty to be Enforced—Sir Gore Ousloy’s Sudden Depar- ture—Reception of General Paez by the President, de. Waatunaron, Oct, 31, 1858. It is known in diplomatic circles that the English and French governments have addressed a formal note to the government here announcing their determination to enforc> the provisions of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, as understood by them, in protecting the company organized by Mons. Belly in the construction of the interoceanic canal across the Isthmus of Nicaragua. I believe the note bas not yet been received by the President; but there is no doubt he is aware of its contents. It is represented as being drawn up in very unmistakeable phraseology, asserting the right of the goveraments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua to enter into the convention which they have with Mons, Belly and his associates for the construction of the canal, and calling upon the United States to frifl their obligation under the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and assist in maintaining the perfect neutrality of the route In this connection the announcement of the large fleet of English and Fronch vessels ordered to Nicaragua bas peculiar significance. It is understood that Sir Gore Ouseley hastened his de parture 80 as to leave Lord Napier to bear the brunt of the explosion when the note is received. Sir Gore Ouseley’s position, had he remained, would have been peculiarly un pleasant, as he hiad allalong assured the President that there ‘was no intention on the part of his government to adopt any steps to enforce the Belly contract; and it is believed that it was mainly owing to the specious representations of Ouseley that the administration was induced not to press at the last session for the authority of Congress to put an end to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. ‘The Centra! American question has now assumed sich 1 shape as to bring matters to acrisis. Our government is called upon to acquiesce in the interpretation of the Chyy ton-Bulwer treaty assumed by England but always de- nied by us; and the enforcement of this {nterprctativr to be carried out, it would appear, by the joint tk England and France: As far as the rival fights of White and Vander'ilt are concerned, it is not believed our government cau interfere ‘The opinion prevails that boch these worthies overreached by the little Frenchman The weaknces of our Minister, Gen doubt hastene! events.

The President said, with all my heart I wish you triumphant success in your country, boping that Venezuela may con Solidate her liberties under such an eminent leader. [en tertain the warmest regard for that South American re. publics, and hope the most friendly relations may always exist between the two countries; and should difficulties arise I Goubt not they may be amicably settled. After some expressions of personal regard, in the most cordial and informa! manner, General Paez and the Com missioners took their leave of the President.
