Important elections took place yesterday in New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Illi- nois, Delaware and Michigan. The election in this city was characterized by disturbances in several districts, but we do not Jearn of any personal injuries resulting therefrom. The contest in the metropolis was a very exciting one, and resulted in the success of the democratic State ticket by a plurality of eleven thousand, the choice of four democratic representatives to Con- gress, namely—Messrs. Sickles Barr, Maclay and Cochrane—and the election o! all the democratic nominees for county offices. The vote, al- though larger than that of last year, shows a loss to the democracy. The returns from the interior of the State place the success of the republican State ticket beyond all question. The republicans have also elected a large majority* of the Congressional delegation, as well as of the members of Assembly. In Massachusetts the republicans have elected their State ticket, headed by Nathaniel P. Banks, and, as usual, an entire republican delegation in Con- gress. Michigan has probably returned an entire dele- gation of republicans to Congress. In New Jersey the republicans have gained one member of Congress. By the arrival of the steamship Fulton at this port yesterday, from Southampton, we have details of European news to the 20th ult. The extracts from our files, which are published this morning, will be found inter fg.

Central American Affairs—The True State of the Case. The various cliques of speculators, stock job- | bers and filibusters, which for the last twelve months have been plotting and counterplotting to secure the rich monopoly of the Nicaragua Transit route, are still, by all sorts of devices and through every available channel, supplying the newspapers with their idle reports and humbug- ging inventions. Among the latest of these hum- bugging experiments is the report that England and France, through their representatives at Washington, have taken a stand in favor of the Monsieur Belly contract, as the only existing Transit arrangement which comes within the demands of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and that the enforcement of this contract is the real pur- pose of the Ouseley mission to Nicaragua. Now, we are gratitied to be able to state expli- citly, emphatically, and from the most satisfactory authority, that this report concerning the Belly contract is a filibustering canard; that, on the contrary, the British government has signified its approval of the Cass-Yrisarri treaty, and that the opinions expressed by the French Minister upon the subject are decidedly in favor of the policy of the administration, which is based upon this treaty. We are assured that the administration is per- feetly conscious of its position in reference to England and France, and that this tangled web of the affairs of Central America is smoothly pro- gressing to a satisfactory solution. Nothing in the shape of a new transit contract has been sub- mitted to our government. The administration recognizes the White & Stebbins contract as the existing contract in connection with the Cass- Yrisarri treaty; but some rival speculators have entered into another arrangement called the Van Dyke contract; but whether this or that con- tract, or any other, shall secure the monopoly of the Transit route, is a question which belongs to the absolute jurisdiction of Nicaragua, subject only to the genere] stipulations of international treaties. We may safely declare, then, that the ex- pectation of a grand blow up of the Cass- Yrisarri treaty from an explosion between our government and England and France, has van- ished into thin air, and that all filibustering attempts and intrigues to bring about a rupture with England and France upon the pitiful squab- bles of these transit jobbers have failed, aud will signally fail to the end of the chapter. We sus- pect that the peculiar friends of General Walker would be pleased above all things to make the administration the tool of their designs in foment- ing a war with England and France; but Mr. Buchanan's policy lies in quite another direction, as these filibusters will perceive from his late proclamation, intended for their special benefit. And so they may as well give up their plots, their intrigues and ridiculous inventions, for their game is irretrievably lost. In this connection, we commend to the careful study of all parties concerned the warning let- ter, in another column, of Senor Maximo Jerez, in reference 0 the proposed sailing of the steamer Washington with passengers for California, via the Nicaragua route. Tur New Orpen or Dirtowatic Ivrer- cou! In the good old times, when diplomatists were cut out of a square block of wood, according to a pattern furnished by Vattel, Puffendorf or Wheaton, the representatives accredited by foreign Powers to this government confined themselves almost exclusively to the cheering influences of red tape and sealing wax, and took but little pains to appear in general society or to make themselves acquainted with the idiosyn- cracies of our people. A dinner now and then at the White House, or with a Senator that could afford to keep up an establishment, was about the extent of the diplomat’s festivities, But as the United States gradually rose to the dignity of a first class Power, and was drawn towards Europe by the ties of an immense and constantly increasing trade, there came a new order of diplomats. The Yankeqs were not such bad fellows after all; and as for the women of America, where could prettier girls or more stately dames be found? The Parliamentary orators began to say good things about us, and the London papers patted us on the back in a patronising way, which was exceedingly amusing. And although there have been, within the past ten years, many vexed questions between Wash- ington and Downing street, followed by some sharp correspondence of the officials and bitter ticles in the journals, yet, on the whole, the tone of both the British rulers and the British towards this country has been materially is eminently conciliatory. The Ministers they have sent to us recently have | endeavored to make themselves generally agreea- . and bave succeeded to a certain extent. The pioneer of the new light diplomatists was Sir Henry Bulwer, who was violently interested in American authors, and attempted to tickle the ity of our people by praising their writers; Sir Henry had been brought up in a high- fiying school of diplomaey, and he laid on his colors with a trowel when be should have used a camel's hair pencil. So everybody had a good laugh at Bulwer, and said that he was a very clever fellow, just a bit soft on the top of his head. On the whole, he made some talk, and was rather liked. Sir John Crampton found the Frenchman’s that there were in the United States a hundred different religions, but only one kind of be lamentably true as far as Wash concerned. So he, like a grand old gourmét as he was, proceeded to give the mag- nates 0 the land some practical lessons in the art of dining, which is altogether a distinct affair from mere eating. His dinners were Amphy- and his old port has taken many a Sena tor off his feet. Sir John was piscatorially inclined aleo, and would oftener drop a fishing line with Mr Webster than send him adespatch. His was the diplomacy ot the dinner table and the bait nister evidently believing that the nearest way to © man’s heart was through his alimentary cans The successor of Crampton, Lord Napier, is an oratorical diplomatist. THe is continually turning up at some dinner table, or cattle fair, or exhibition of some kind, and enlarges uj gravy ington w the usual form of diplomatic speech, the basis of which was to say as few words as possible, and be sure that they do not mean anything in parti- cular. Lord Napier talks upon almost every subject, and talks well. His speeches are agree- able to hear and pleasant to read. The other day he had a talk with the agriculturists, cattle breeders and horse trainers aseembled in conven- tion at Richmond. He alluded playfully to th fact th was President of the Scotch Pastoral Society for Improving the Breed of Sheep, paid ® graceful compliment to the vast extension aud tapid progress of husbandry in America, and did hot fail to give the farmers a hint to preserve A tural beanty of the landscape, now too often marred by barbarous hands. Succeeding came a poetic picture of a Scotch family setting out for the New World, and in the peroration a high compliment to the Old Dominion.’ This speech, reported in the Hxraxp of yesterday, will be read with gratification by every agriculturist in the country, and it is a part of the diplomacy of the rostrum. While the British diplomats have been try- ing the different systems which we have sketched above, the representatives of the Continental Powers—France, Russia, Spain and the Nether- lands—have not been idle. They have practi- cally given in their adhesion to a wholesale sys- tem of annexation, quite within the limitations of the Monroe doctrine. They have exchanged red tape for white satin ribbon, and Hymen’s torch burns instead of diplomatic wax. The Baron de Bodisco inaugurated the diplomacy of crinoline, and annexed an American wife, His successor, Baron Stocckl, imitated Bodisco’s laudable ex- ample, while the Count de Sartiges and the Baron Von Limburg followed suit. One of the attachés of the Spanish Legation would have been glad to have taken an American wife, but the stern parent of the lady prevented the union, and pos- sibly postponed the aanexation of Cuba, which night have resulted. Looking at all the systems, we incline strongly towards the diplomacy of the beau sexe, and can- not but commend the good taste of the diplomats in selecting wives from the ranks of our brilliant American belles. Lord Napier is a gallant man; but as he is already married his oratorical diplo- macy is perhaps the best thing he can do. Any- thing is a relief from the isolated dreariness of the old school. ‘The Grave Charges Against Our Minister In ChinaAre they True or False t We reprint in another column an article from the London Times, containing some grave accusa- tions against Mr. Reed, our Minister to China, which should not pass unnoticed by the people or the government of the United States. The Times is not the best authority for accusa- tions against the United States or any other coun- try that does not admit the right of the entente cordiale policy of England and France to rule in every part of the world; and its boast that Eng- land “can remember without vaunting, and trust to history to write her annals true,” may do very well in England; but, with the exception of that little island, the world has more confidence in history when she does not use an English pen. The points of the charges against Mr. Reed are, that he made a weak treaty, in which he obtain- ed very few advantages over what we before en- joyed, and then joined with the Russian Minister in an effort to induce Baron Gros not to insist upon obtaining the concession of a resident em- bassy at Pekin, the right of free transit through the country, and of ports for trade, in addition to those conceded in the American treaty. This he did, says the Times, “when the Chinese Commissioners had agreed by letter to all the English and French demands, the treaty had been drafted, and the hour had been named for the signature;” and “these remonstrances were pressed so strongly upon Baron Gros that he, who had special interest in the commercial stipula- ons, would have given up the points had he not been influenced by a loyal regard for the unity of the counsels of England and France.” These are very grave charges, and they pro- fees to be made with a full copy of the Ameri- can treaty in view. As neither the treaties nor the official correspondence that attended their celebration have yet been made public, the in- formation of the Times could only have come from official sources. It therefore becomes the duty of our government to have the charges thoroughly ventilated, and the truth in the mat- ter set forth. The accusations have been made in a way that will carry them rapidly all over the world, and if they are not disproven at an early day will work an immense injury to our national reputation, both as a government and asa people. A synopsis only of the American treaty has been published, which differs in some points from the summary of several of its articles given by the London journals. Its publication in full can work no serious injury in any way, while the delay that must elapse before the final ratification can be return- ed from China must necessarily be great, in con- sequence of the distance and the numerous pre- vious formalities to be observed. We cannot believe that Mr. Reed has permit- ted himself to be made so far the dupe and tool of Russian diplomacy as to endeavor to prevent the western nations from obtaining concessions, such as a resident embassy at Pekin, free transit through the country, and additional ports for trade, which would redound to the advantage of his own country, under the comprehensive stipu- lations of the 29th article of his own treaty. If he has done this he should be held up to the rep- rehension of civilization everywhere, and if he has not, his skirts and our own should be at once freed from the charge. On the other hand, we deem it not at all improbable that he may have joined with the Rusian Minister in endeavoring to induce the French Minister not to insist upon forcing upon the Chinese the adoption of some tariff grosly partial to England, or stipulations regarding the infamous opium war, which drug Jobn Bull has long evinced a disposition to thrust down the throats of the Chinese with the point of the bayonet. There may also be other reasons orising out of the complications from another quarter, which threaten to involve and disturb our good rela- tions with the Anglo-French alliance, for the ac- cusations of the London 7imes against us. What- ever may be the motive, our government should meet these grave charges with the publication of the facts in the case, Ours is no selfish and per- verse diplomacy, demanding secrecy because it is necessary for the success of its tricks. Tuk Prosreers ror rue CHsrren Eneo Tioxs—Tue Taxravens’ Party.—The elections yesterday were marked by unusual indifference and apathy. The disorganization of the demo- cratic, and the ambitious squabbles of the lead- ers of the American and republican parties, na- turally led to this result. For a political contest to be spirited, its elements must be concentrated; but in the present instance it was impossible for party men to tell exactly where they stood. ‘This will not be the case in the approaching charter elections. There the pressing character of some of the interests involved, and the infu- sion of a new and independent element, will ren- der the contest one of the most engrossing and exeiting that has ever taken place in our city. With an annual burden of taxation upon their shoulders, close upon ten millions, and the pros- peet of a progressive increase of this amount un- leas means are adopted to check the wasteful ex- penditure and extravagance of our city officials, and to eject from office the peculators and jobbers who have been fattening at the public expense, our city taxpayers feel themselves compelled to raise an issue which is likely to throw all political questions into the shade. Of their power to carry out any legiti- mate objects which they may propose to them- selves no doubt can be entertained. The tax- payers of the city number about 30,000, and the amount of capital represented by their com- mittee may be estimated, at the lowest calcula- tion, at about seventy-five millions. If the men comprising this powerful interest only pull together with a spirit of union and determina- tion, there is no political combination at present existing that ean resist or defeat their efforts, We believe that the taxpayers are determined to put forth their full strength at the elections next month, They feel that, if they delay doing this for another term, the opportunity will be lost, and their burdens increased by at least one third. In order that their movement shall be effective, they will have to carry reform into every branch of the city administration, from the Comptroller down to the lowest official subject to the popular choice. They must no longer permit the anomaly of having the men who expend the taxes chosen from amongst per- sons who contribute nothing towards the city revenues, and placed in office merely to. gorge themselves at the public expense, All this the taxpayers’ organization propose to do; but it is not sufficient to merely entertain the intention: they will have to guard against the influence of treachery from within as well as from without their ranks; and in order to do this they must take care to nominate as their candidates only those men whose characters and whose positions will bear the strictest scrutiny. Their nominees must not only be taxpayers themselves, but they must go inio office with the distinct understand- ing that the chief object of their mission shall be to keep down the taxation of the city to the lowest point consistent with the decent adminis- tration of public affairs, Men of this stamp will of course have to be selected from a class apart from the politicians and placemen who have hitherto had the control of the city revenues. This fact, and the recognition of the power that will be wielded by the new organization, will of course lead to a complete change in the charac- ter of our city contests. There will either be a adisruption of all the old combinations, or there will be a union amongst them against the new party. To defeat the latter the taxpayers have only to remain true to their programme, and to repel from their ranks all who are not known to be animated by the same interests and motives as themselves. THE LATEST NEWS. Our Special Washington Despatch. Wasutyeron, Noy. 2, 1858. ‘The Attorney Genera! has given an opinion on the con- struction of acts of July 29, 1848, February 3, 1853, and August 5, 1854, granting pensions to widows He holds a pension can in no case be paid fora period embraced in second coverture, and that it has been contrary to the whole scope of legislation on this subject that a woman should be paid a pension for the time she was actually married. It seems that the Peusion Office has ia some cases sanctioned a different practice. The present Com- missioner, Mr. Whiting, entertained doubts of the legality of such payment, and referred the subject to the Attor ney General. Mr. Glancy Jones will not leave for Austria before the middle of December. No official information has yet reached the State Depart ment of additional concessions said to have been made by Japan to this country, though such statements are con. sidered reliable. Nothing is thought of at present in Washington but elections. There is most intense anxiety.

Benrcrary axp Ronnsry oF A Sik Stone, —The wholesale silk store of Lewis Sperling, 190 William street, was eu- tered atan early hour yesterday morning, and robbed of silks to the value of about $1,200, with which the thieves decamped. About five o'clock in the morning two of the Fourth ward police observed two men passing through the ward, carrying each large bundles. They were stop- ped, and the bundles proved to be composed of pieces of silks. Mr. Sperling was thon sent for, and he identified the silks as his property. Tie men were then taken be- fore a magistrate, and gave their names as James Carey and Joseph Donnelly, ‘The same morning one of the Sixth ward police arrested @ man calling himself James Robin son, whom he saw carrying a large package of silks through the street. This silk also proved to be a portion of that stolen from Mr, Sperling's store. The three prison relocked up for examination. Nearly all the silk was found in the possession of the men. ‘The arrests were made by policemen Felleman and Higgins, of the Fourth precivet, and Muldoon, of the Sixth precinct.

Haruem River NaviGasix.—The obstruction at Macomb's Dam 35 now entirely removed, the work having been com- pleted last Wednesday by the contractor, This opens some six miles of the river above Harlem, and all that remains to be done to make the island circumnavigable is to deepen and widen Spuyten Duyvel creek, which could be done in a short time, and for very little money. The importance of this improvement cannot be overestimated, however objectionable it may be to quiet people ou the apper end of the island, who wish to live retired. It will open all that large region to the purposes of commerce, will improve the value of Harlem property, cause the erection of wharves and docks, nd _ stimulate population and business in a marked degree. It has been prophesied that much of the lumber, brick, coal and kindred business of the city would yet be done on the shores of the Harlem river, and there is reason to believe that this will be the cave. Certain it is that property holders expect to do wonders in a short time, News from Mexico. [From the New Orleans Picayune, Oct. 28. Ry the arrival of the schooner H. E.

Barranquilla is situated on a crenega, or lagoon, im- mediately facing the Magdalena river, aad al- though a more modern built city than any other en the New Granadian coast, and without beiag a seapeet, has attained more importance and gone ahead of all others. It basa population of about 10,000 souls, 1,000 of whom are foreigners, It isthe principal station and terminus for all steamers and native craft plying on the Mugdaiona river, A delay took place here of thze days, aad after disembarking on beard the steamer Cauca, we loft at 6 A. M. on the 1th, and proceeded up the Magduleaa, with about 100 tons of merchandise and eighty passengers, des- tined for the last fair of the year, held at Magangué. af- ter passing the villages of Pubba Nuevo, Remotino, Gui- maro and Penon, we arrived at Calomar at 4PM. This is the great highway to the city of Carthagena, from which it is distant about twenty-seven Spanish leagues, It was the principal point of operations of Colonel Totton, the welt known and highiy popular supermtendent of the’ Panama Railway, who resided here some years, trying to open out. «clear communication with Carthagena by means of the 1d Spanish dique or eanai, which even now 1s navigable or bungos drawing but little water at the wet season of «° year, Atter taking on board fuel, goods and we yrovecded at P.

With one exception the scencry on the banks of the rivers Magdalena and Cauca to Maxangue is exceedingly tame, unbroken by anything interesting to relieve the eye except after leaving Barran- quilla, for a few hours, the saow-capped mountains of ie peat Nevada are sa on the ‘er hand side, with their highest peaks of San Loxenzo and La Horquets rising to the height of 20,000 tu 22,000 feet. re On the lower part of the rivers the water is exceedingly deep and about one mile in width; the banks are lew and the country swampy, and is at ‘“erescienics”” of the rivers completely inundated, and is, consequontly, unhealthy. A voyage on the Magdalena is very different to anythiag one will experience in the United States.

Lately staterooms have been intro- duced on one or two of the steamers of the Compania Unida—a great improvement, certainly; and it cannot be denied that improvements are wanted in steamboat navigation ov this river, difficult as it is, on account of the climate and people, and a variety ef other causes which I will in after correspondence explain. My voyage from Barranquilla to Magangué cost $31, including the usc of a stateroom during my stay of a week. there. @fhe distance between the two cities is probably about miles. The worst of all here is the servants. One cannot depend on them in the least. People who grumble about them in the States should have a month's experience of them here, and they would forever after hoid their peace. Magangue is situated in lat. 9 deg. 20 min. N., and jon. 7 deg. 12 min. W., on the right hand benk of the river. Cauca is in a direet south line from the coast, about 200 miles from the mouths of the river Magdalena, and thirteen miles from tho mouth of the river Cauca. It presents an entirely ditferont appearance to what it did some three years since, being now princi- pally composed of brick butidings, where formerly stoot the adobe and thatched houses.

Yesterday I visited the chureh here, and of all the wretched, misera. ble looking places one can imagine, this 1s it. I ascended the “Toro” to the belfry, at the imminent risk of my life, the wooden fattders being nearly all de- stroyed by age, climate and neglect; a few cracked old iron bells are all that now remains, and wrecks, I might say, of the images of by gone days. ‘Here you would see the leg or arm of some defunct woolen saint or a headless trunk, and in niches around the walls were deposited the femains of sundry santos and santas carefully covered up to protect them from the dust, these latter only being broaght out on foast days, when they are carrifd in procession around the town to he intense admiration of its miserable and superstitious Jopulation, and the delight of the padres, who manage to eke Out & miserable subsistence from the donations of the pious inhabitants.
