The market was steady at noon on the 10th. Flour had again declined, and on the 10th both provisions and breadstuffs were without sale at midday. The Atlantic Telegraph Company had discharged the staff of electricians hitherto retained at Valen- tia, and directed that Mr. Whitehouse should not be permitted to experiment on the cable. The work of laying the heavy shore end of the cable was pro- greasing slowly. We publish to-day a letter addressed by the Em- peror of France to Prince Napoleon on the “free iabor” question, as resulting from the difference with Portugal. The second and third paragraphs possess real importance, and the general opinion ‘was that his Majesty would recede from his posi- tion on free negro immigration, although it was as serted that the scheme met the entire approval of most of the kings and chiefs on the African coast. According to the Sydney (Australia) Herald, the French bad been kidvapping “free laborers” in the South seas.

The official journal of Rome attempts to justi- fy the abduction of the Jewish boy Mortara, and complains that “naturalism” has superseded, in most minds, “the true spirit of the church.” The news from India is dated at Caleutta on the {th aud Medras on the 15th of October. The re- ports from the Punjab continued good, and the di-banding of the remainder of the Mooltan troops was proceeding without danger. The Governor General continued at Allahabad.

Turtle catching is remunerative, with orders from England for all we can catch. Spanish vessels of war are increasing in these waters, but their movements are clouded in mystery. The adjacent islands, pro- ducing salt and fruit, are very healthy. By way of New Orleans we have news from Ha- vana to the 18th inst. The sugar market was buoy- ant, with a slight advance in prices, while freights continued dull. A violent northeast storm prevailed on Monday night, causing an unusually high tide in the rivers, and inundating the piers and cellars in their neigh. borhood. We have not heard of any accidents to the shipping in the harbor. About daybreak the schooners Rebecca, R. G. Dorter, and Excelsior, all bound to Philadelphia, went ashore within three hundred yards of each other, some three miles south of Long Branch. The steamship City of Bal” timore came up the bay and anchored off the Bat- tery during the heaviest of the gale, but our news- boat which was towing astern of the steamer, was blown out of the water and broken in pieces. Atthe call of the roll of the Board of Council- men last evening only two members answered to their names. The Clerk thereupon adjourned the Board till Monday, at the usual hour of meeting. Under the obituary head in to-day’s Hxraxp is announced the demise of two prominent citizens of this city—-Benjamin F. Butler,a prominent mem- ber of the bar and a leader in the democratic school of politicians, and Isaac Newton, a man whose name has been long and favorably associated with North river steamboat navigation. Mr. Butler died at Paris on the 8th inst. The death of Mr. Cornelius V. Anderson, a mem- ber of the Board of Ten Governors, and formerly Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, has excited an unusual degree of public interest. The Ten Governors, and the Directors of the Lorillard Insu- rance Company, of which latter institution Mr. Anderson was President, held meetings yesterda and passed resolutions in reference to the public and private career of the deceased. The Fire Department hold a meeting this evening to take action on the subject, and to make arrangements for attending the funeral. Hon. John Cochrane delivered a very interesting and eloquent lecture before the Catholi¢ldbrary Association at the Cooper Institute last a: on the policy of opening the lands of the West free to all men. Towards the close of his address an alarm of fire was raised, and the gas was extinguished by the bursting of one of the main pipes. Happily no accident occurred, and the breach was soon re- paired. The cotton market was firmer yesterday, and closed at an advance of 3c. per 1b, The sales embraced about 1,600 bales, closing stiffat 113Z0. for middling uplands For acomparative statement of receipts and exports we refer toanother column. Flour was heavy, and the sup. ply of common grades being large, prices were somewhat easier, while good to choice brands of extra were unchang- ed, Wheat was less buoyant, and the demand moderate, Corn was firmer, and more active. York was less buoy- aut. Sales on the spot of mess were made at $17 45, with small lots at $17 50, with prime at $13 75 a $14, and 1,000 bls. mess were sold, deliverable in May next, at $18. Sugars were quite steady at the advance, with sales of about 360 bhds. Cuba and Porto Rico. Coffee was quict. The stock of Rio was reduced to 7,006 bags, while the stock of Java was equivalent to 47,625 bags. The stock of al! kinds amounted to 62,581 bags. Freights were firm, but engagement were moderate. The Mexican Plot of the European Powers— What Course We Should Adopt. We learn by the City of Baltimore that con- ferences had taken place at Madrid between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Ambassa- dors of England and France on the subject of Mexico, and itis further stated that these con- ferences promise a satisfactory solution; but a solution of what, or satisfactory to whom, we are not told. There is something significant in this unusual conference between the Minister of Foreign Af- fuirs of the poorest and proudest nation in Eu- rope and the representatives of the Anglo-French alliance. The time once was, and not longsince too, that the English and French Ambassadors in Madrid were as opposite to each other as are the opposite poles of the earth. They invariably endeavored to frustrate each other's designs, and the French or English policy governed Spain according as the respective partisans of cach were in power. Between the two the poverty stricken Court assumed an air of independence, and played fulse to each alternately. But now the case is different. France and England play into each other's hands, and even the nominal in- dependence of the Spanish Cabinet has disap- peared. The two Ambassadors meet the Prime Minister and tell him what course he must pursue in no less a question than that of Mexico, in which Spain has fre- quently announced that her honor is irreparably outraged. Somebody must now be humbugged, and time gained by the prime movers of this affair. But the question is, who is to be humbugged? This game bas been played for a year past at Washington by Mr. Ouseley and Lord Napier on the Central American portion of the grand plot which England and France are endeavoring to carry out in the isthmus countries of America. The Spanish intervention in Mexico forms a part of the scheme, and we announced several days since, upon information received from a well in- formed source, that the English and French fleets in the Gulf of Mexico would be augmented and instructed to protect Spain in any contin- gencies that might come upon her in her war with Mexico. Time must be gained to carry out certain operations before the United States can become alarmed. Tampico, and perhaps Vera Cruz, must be got possession of, and Santa Anna run into power, when he can carry out his plans for a European protectorate. It may be that before the new plans of the diplomatists can be brought to work, the thing will have gone too far to be controlled. Spain has already severgl vessels of war off the bar of Tampico, with some six hundred troops on board, and other ships at Vera Craz. The pretence is to punish Garza for his re- cent outrages upon foreigners at that place, but the real intention is to put the place in possession of the Zuloaga government. Zuloaga himself is but a puppet in the hands of his Cabi- net, all the members of which are friends and agents of Santa Anna. It is in view of this state of things that President Juarez has published his proclamation calling upon all Mexicans to rise against the Spanish invaders, and if an op- portunity for a collision can be found, the con- stitutionalists will be sure to take advantage of it. So much is this collision desired by the great majority of Mexicans, that several prominent ones of those now in exile here have written to President Juarez, offering to make common cause with bim against Spain. We have conversed with a large number of Mexicans here since the publication of the Juarez manifesto, and all of them assert that they will at once return, al- though not partisans of the constitution, and join that party in ite quarrel with Spain. ‘There is also another point of difficulty for the diplomatic hoodwinkers. The course of the Zu- ninent toward our citizens has been loaga gov outrageous in the extreme; but above all, it has exhibited a cool and studied insolence in its in- sults to the American Minister in Mexico, after the Close of his relations with that government and du” ring his journey to Vera Cruz to embark for home. These insults must be atoned for, and the go- vernment should be prepared with a fleet in the Gulf to demand instant apology and reparation the moment that the Spanish vessels succeed in delivering over one of the ports to President Zuloaga. He has no seaport now, and counts upon security from the fact that we cannot reach him without first getting an act through Con- gress, and then invading the country. This he well knows will enable him to escape with the money he has robbed from the public treasury and the people, and his equally guilty ministers and partisans will escape because the prime rascal cannot be caught. If fair promises, how- ever, can induce the President to postpone for a little season the proper action in the Mexican imbroglio, the European plotters hope to gain their points without a collision with us; and when their European protectorates are once es- tablished in Central America and Mexico, we will have to become the ostensible aggressor in order to resist their hostility to us. The conferences at Madrid prove beyond a peradventure the complicity of England and France with Spain in her designs upon Mexico, England has far more reason than Spain has to bring the Mexican government to an ac- count for insults to its flag and outrages upon its subjects. But England well knows that she could not carry her action against Mexico, farther than demanding a settlement, without serious expense and danger to herself. But Spain can be egged on, while she keeps up to us the fair show of promises and good faith, in order to prevent our taking a right view of the com- bined projects, With Santa Anna once in power he could soon have a European force at his back, and then the plans of the allies to counteract the growing influence of the United States might hope to prosper. In this complication of affairs the President should at once ask of Congress the authority to act energetically in the questions of Cuba, Mexico and Central America. The true policy of the country, the policy towards which we are drifting without steerage way upon the ship of State, should be authoritatively announced by Congress and acted upon by the government. We have got to control the affairs of all those States, and the sooner we announce our intention to do £0, the easier will be its accomplishment and the more perfect its effect. W.H. xD Reropiaten.—In various quar- ters, we perceive, those organs of the republican party whose great object is success, and not de- feat, in 1860, are quietly and coolly repudiating the bloody Rochester abolition manitesto of W. H. Seward, as utterly impracticable for Presiden- tial purposes. For example, the New Haven (Conn.) Journal and Courier, while admitting the truth of all that Seward says in reference to the pro-slavery aggressiveness of the democratic party, still declares that:— He embarrasses the republican party when he links its fortune with the aboiition of slavery, “through the several States co-operating with the Federal government and acting in strict conformity with their respective con- stitutions.’ ‘The party has never adopted any such idea in its declaration of principles, and a strong ground for its ap- peal to countenance and support as a national party, in the tlaveholding States, has always been that it sturdily re- spected the rights of the States, and sang so in no way whatever to interfere with slavery in the “8 where it existed by virtue of local laws, and it would suifer most seriously from any well grounded suspicion that it pro- wosed acrusade against slavery wherever and whenever bea.” We avant ‘suppose that Mr. Seward means to thus unite republicanism and abolitionism, but unfortunately his Rochester speech furnishes a pretext for dishonest po- litieians to charge such an intention on bim, and on the republican party, and throws upon his su and friends a disagrécable duty of explanation and contradic- bon. A truthful and sagacious view of the case. Perhaps that Rochester speech may have been simply intended to cut out and bring over the abolition vote of Gerrit Smith to Morgan; and, perhaps, the main object may have been an anti- slavery position by Mr. Seward in front of all his republican rivals for the White House. In any event, that Rochester manifesto has done the business for Seward, or for the republican party should they nominate him. He cannot be elect- ed, and we think cannot even be nominated in 1860. He has overleaped his horse, and has fall- en on the other side. Dr. Gansiarver axp Ovr Prisos Priviteges.— The escape of Dr. Galliardet from the officer hav- ing him in charge, while on a sort of “free and easy” tour of visitation round the city, opens up the whole schedule of the discipline, privileges and perquisites of our city prisons, and at a glance we perceive in the premises a very broad margin for reform. Why, for example, should a prisoner with money at his command be allowed the privilege of a daily or nightly frolic round town, under the wing of an accom- modating policeman, while the penniless vagrant under detention for a similar offence is denied the liberty of passing beyond the walls of the jail? The rule should be uniform, and the prisoner, with or without money, until released on bail, should be held as a prisoner within the prison walls. In this case of Dr. Galliardet, whether his escape was duc to his superior cun- ning or to the stupidity or cupidity of the officer, we have the proof of the mockery of soft- ening an arrest for a criminal offence with the hospitalities due only to a distinguished visiter or a very particular friend. Inte this and some other matters affecting our criminal calendar we hope some inquisitive city member of our State Assembly will make it his special business to i quire as soon as convenient after the re sembling of the Legislature. Rarven Late i tae Day. That remarkable political and moral reformer, the Chevalier Webb, has at last taken up the subject of our ap- proaching municipal election in the right spirit, that is to say, independently of all party lines and party tickets. But we fear that our Wall street recruit comes into the arena rather late in the day to do any good. Between the separate tickets of the anti-Tammany, the republican, the Know Nothing, the taxpayers’, and other odds and ends of the opposition to Tammany Hall, the spoils and plunder managers of the Old Wig- wam, after the old fashion, will walk over the course. If one-half the spirit of union which was brought to bear against Mr. Wood last Decem- ber could now be brougbt into active operation against the real abuses, criminals, rogues, row- dies and rowdy tactics by which we are ruled and plundered, we might hopefully anticipate a wholesome revolution. But is it really too late to attempt an active movement in this direction a sort of independent taxpayers’ and people's party organization—upon a mixed ticket which will combine all the various parties and factions opposed to the old rotten Tammany clique in a solid phalanx? We fear it is, and yet the experi- ment may result in some valuable steps towards reform, if not in the total overthrow of the old What say the taxpayers? rowdy system. Canpipates yor Crry Orrices at THE Carrer Exxction.—We publish to-day as correct a list as possible of all the candi- dates now in the field for the city offices to be filled at the election on the second of December. They embrace the nominees of four different political faction, and number in all 162 individuals. The whole number of offices to be filled is only fifty-five. Out of the 162 persons Claiming the suffrages of the voters for the important positions of Comptroller, Alms- house Governor, School Commissioners, Alder- men and Councilmen, only 72 contribute direct- ly, in the shape of taxes, to the support of the city. Looking at these several tickets, one must be convinced that there is to be little or no im- provement in the government of the city under the new réyime, The nominations have been made in the old way, on the shoulder-hitting and grog shop primary election principle, and it is evident that our new set of officers will be just as much the representatives of the ruffian ele- ment of the city asthe old ones. The affairs of the municipal government are doomed to be con- ducted in the old way; the taxes next.year will be twelve millions; then they will continue to increase to fourteen, fifteen, and so on until they reach twenty millions a year, And in the face of these prospects, the very people who are most interested in seeing the go- vernment well administered and the taxes re- duced—the property owners, the taxpayers and rentpayers—have permitted the miserable ward politicians and rowdies of the city to make the no- minations, and if they take the trouble to vote at all, they will vote for their candidates, and of course are prepared to see the infamous system of plunder, fraud and corruption go en to the end. The only conclusion we can come to in the premises is, that our citizens are not taxed and oppressed enough yet. Perhaps when the taxes reach the handsome sum of twenty millions a year, and we have a murder anda rape every day, and streets from whose reeking filth pesti- lence is hourly borne, they may wake up to the necessity of doing something to mend matters. THE LATEST NEWS. INTERESTING FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Our Special Washington Despatch. REPORTED DEPARTURE OF THE WALKER FILIBUSTERS YOR NICARAGUA—RUMORS OF EXPEDITIONS AGAINST SONORA—EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE ON MEXICAN AF- FAIRS—HOUSTON'S PROTECTORATE SCHEME—COST OF THE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION, ETC. Wasimvartox, Nov. 23, 1858. Reyorts are in circulation that General Walker, with five hundred filibusters, has succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the government officers and departed for Nicaragua; but they are not credited here. The admints- tration is without any news whatever, either (rom Mobile or New Orleans, upon the subject, up toa late hour this evening. Colonel Butterfield had a long interview today with the President and Genera! Cass, relative to Mexican affairs. He urged upon the President immediate and prompt ac- tion, which will, without doubt, be adopted. Mr. Forsyth has not yet arrived. The President ® anxious to see him before the Message is completed, Gen. Houston has written to a friend in this city stating that he intends to urge with all his might his Mexican pro- tectorate scheme, ‘The inference of the Herat, that the intention of Spain in ber present movement against Mexico is to restore Santa Anna to power there, is acknowledged in well in- formed circles here to be a true one. I am credibly in- formed that Santa Anna proposes to introduce a foreign legion into Mexico by exchanging 5,000 Mexican troops with Louis Napoleon for 5,000 French troops. Rumors are rife here to-day in regard to new schemes or expeditions against Sonora, with a view to its acquisi- tion. Ben. McCulloch, who left yesterday for that sec- tion of the country, is mentioned in connection with it; also the name Judge Rose, who has just been appointed Consul toGuayamas. From the best information that I can obtain there is not a shadow of foundation for any of these rumors. ‘The Secretaries’ Reports, with the exception of Mr. Cobb's, are ready for the printer. As yet there has been no decision by the President in regard to the course to be pursued in placing the Message and Reports before the country. The system of last year will probably be adopted. The entire cost of the Paraguay expedition will not ex- ceed a million dollars, In fact, uo extra appropriation will be required. ‘THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH. Wasinscrtox, Nov. 25, 1858. It is said the President's Message and the reports of the heads of the departments, with the exception of that of the Secretary of the Treasury, are nearly completed. The Postmaster General has issued an order for a weekly mai! from New Orleans to connect with the regu- lar coaches of the San Diego and San Antonio line to El Paso, where it will be transferred to the Memphis over- jand mail to San Francisco. Secretary Floyd has #0 far recovered from his recent illness that he was able to attend a Cabinet meeting to-day. Revolution in Campeachy. Wastiverow, Nov, 23, 1868.

He questions the propriety of interfering in such @ manner with the commerce of the inhabitants of Caba, and expresses the belief that while the navy of the United States may, un- der the constitution, be charged with preveuting ® slave trade between the coast of Afriea and our own shores, it is policy to let foreign nations regulate their own affairs and # their own police, ‘The remainder of the mos is confined to State policy, recommending, among cher things, a repeal of the usury laws.

New Ontaays, Nov. 28, 1858. The steamship Quaker City arrived here to-day, bring- ing the California mails which left San Francisco on the 5th inst., and were brought across the Isthmus of Tehuan- tepec. The Quaker City, on her outward passage, in crossing the bar of Coutzacoaicos, found fourteen feet of water, and sailed direct up to Minatitlan, where she met the iron Steamer Suchil. The latter vessel, after receiving the pas- sengeré and mails, proceeded up the river, and arrived at Suchil on the 15th at midnight, the tue being but seven- ty-cight hours from New Orleans. From the latter place the passengers and mails were sent forward to Ventosa on the Pacific, from whence they were conveyed to San Fran- cisco by the mail steamship Oregon, ‘The California mails of the 5th inst. reached Ventosa oa the evening of the 14th, were landed at Suchil on the 16th, and on the 17th they were put on board the Quaker City bound to New Orleans, where she arrived in sixty-three hours from Minatitlan, ‘The steamer Oregon would sail on the 19th inst. for Aca- pulco, connecting with the Panama steamer in plenty of time for the mails of the 27th of October, which reached Ventosa in good time. It is confidently asserted that the trip from San Fran- cisco to New Orleans can be made by this route in twelve days. It is represented that the work on the Isthmus is pro- gressing finely. All but twenty-five miles is in good run- ning order, and in two weeks time the work will be finished and twenty coaches placed on the route. It is proposed to open a new route via the river Jalte- pec, which will cut off seven miles of the worst part of the road, aud bring the distance down to one hundred miles. There is plenty of water on the Coatzacoalcos bar, and the harbor of Ventosa is as good as that of Valparaiso. The Isthmus is healthy. President Lozere came passen- ger on the Quaker City, but will return immediately. ‘The liberal party are still in possession of the Isthmus, notwithstanding the intrigues of Zuloaga. Six of the latter's party were publicly shot at Tehuan- tepec on the 6th instant. At Tabasco tive liberals were uppermost, and had suc- ceeded in taking the steamer Guerrero. From California the news is not important. Heavy rains had taken place, The weather was very cold, and there was much snow on the mouptaius. Business was reviving. ‘Tho Circuit Court had granted an injunction, restraining the new Almoda Quicksilver Company from working the mines belonging to the United States.

His death was quite sudden, Mr. Butler was born at Kinderhook, December 15, 1795. On his mothor's side he was of Welsh origin, and ‘ descendant of Colonel John Jones, a distinguished officer in Oliver Cromwell’s army. Colonel Jones, with Hugh Peters, Col. Herns, and Col. Thomas Harrison—tho and all were bauged, drawn and quartered, as regicides, at Charing Cross, in London, on the restoration of Charles II, ‘lating Mr. Butler was a studont at law under Mr. Van Burem, the ex-President, and afterwards his law partner, and sub- +equently the sharer of his political successes and defeats, Mr. Butler was early elected to Ep eonag gd tho State, and, with John Duer and John C. Spencer, he revised the statutes of the State. During the administration of Presi- dent Jackson bir, Butler was Attorney General of the United States, and subsequentiy for a considerable was United States Attorney for this district. In the stirring times of 1840-44 Mr. Butler was one of the most active politicians on thedemocratic side, and Mr. Polk, we be- lieve, offered him a seat in his Cabinet.

The founder of the People’s Line of steamboats plying between this city and Albany, Mr. Isaac Newton, died at his residence in this city on Monday evening, aged 63. Mr. Newton was a son of a soldier of the Revolution, and was born in the town of Schodiack, Rensselaer county, New York, on the 10th of January, 1794. When Robert Fulton's first boat, named the Clermont, in bouor of Chaa- cellor Livingston, made her trial trip, in August, 1807, Mr. Newton was 13 years of age, and through life retained « dis- Unct recollection of the ridicule, astonishment and incre- dulity which attended the inauguration of steam naviga- tion. His attention, thus drawn to the subject, seconded his inclination and constructive talent; and over ninety vessels, consisting of ocean steamers, steamboats, barges, sioops, &c., have been built under his supervision, le established the first line of towboats on the Hudson, and in 1835 built the steamboat Batioon, the first of the splendid river which have won the admiration of the world.

The Alms- house Governors, of which body he was an active and Vigilant member, passed resolutions of respect to his memory; and the directors of the Loriliard Fire Insurance Company, of which he was President, held a meeting at four o'clock P. M., and paid a high tribute to the zeal and efficiency with which he conducted the affiirs of that com- pany. The Common Council also paid his memory the customary honors. Mr. Anderson entered public life when quite young. 1837, when only twenty. he was appointed to the position of yeurs of age Engineer of the Fire Department, where he dis- tinguished himself in a time. He assumed when the department was ina state almost of disorganization growing out of the diemissal of Mr. Gulick and the appoint- ment of Mr. Hoffmire. Mr. Anderson finally harmonized all the conflicting elements, aod by a rigid system of econo- my out dows the annnal expenditures from $72,000 to $30,000. All the force nearly doubled under bis adminis- tration. In 1848 Mr. Anderson was elected Register of the city, and during bis term of office of three years paid into the city treasury $40,000 of surplus fees, while it is said, his predecessors and successors have never paid in more than $15,000 for the same length of time.

F On motion of Governor Drcro, the requisitions were re- ferred to the Committee on President sara said, that it became his painfui and melancholy duty to announce the decease of Cornelius V. Anderson, recently a member of the Board. He did not intend to enlarge upon the virtues and charac- ter, b public and private, of their deceased associate; but he trusted that he would, as a personal friend of Mr: Anderson for ® long time, be permitted to express the high feeling — of estimation in which he had held the deceased for his character as a man and his ‘Worth asa public officer. Before saying a word in reference to the nature or extent of the services of Mr. Anderson in ‘@ public capacity, he would state that the lamented gen tleman was atiacked some eight months ago with a dis- ease of a complicated character, which baifled to some extent the skill of the best physicians of the city, Til within a very brief period the malady had laid dormant and did not develope its alarming character. It was not until about four weeks ago that Mr. Anderson found it ne. cessary to retire to his home, and since then he has never been out of doors. Most of that the most excruciating pain, unable to his at hight, compelled to sit on a chair to obtain ease, and to sivep he had to recline upon pillows. the deceased was insensible, Yale, when he would spoak of earth, and his Preparation to meet no member of a Christian church right life and had so done his duty as, was pleasing to bis Maker. then rose F ay E z President Smith, in tones of eorrowfal emotion, “the pulsation of bis as his spirit took ite fight God that gave it, and [feet that we will meet world where the righteous and the just are at rest.’ Anderson bad been to a great extent a marked man a long time. He began his career at an early period. He was called to preside over the Fire Department as Chief Engineer, when it was in a perfect state of chaos, grow. ing out of the removal of one evgineer and the mentof another. Mr. Anderson was selected to fill high and important charge because of his influence over men and the intrepidity he bad always exhihted as the foreman of acompany. He occu the office of Chief Engineer for dae doubled the the expenses half. Smith then spoke of the first bill that deceased had andited, and how the bill was given it bis hand with $20. Mr. Anderson asked what was for. The reply waa, “for ir commission.’ “lam to no commission,” was his rejoinder ; “My office ried ofiice;"’ and he refused the money.
