The steamship Africa, which left Liverpool early cn the afternoon of the 13th inst., reached her dock at Jersey City a little after nine o'clock yesterday morning. Her European advices are two days later than those brought by the Prince Albert to St. Johns, N. F., which were published in the Hrratp on Thursday morning. The Africa has also brought some interesting details of the late news from China, Japan and Cochin China. Cotton was quiet but steady in the Liverpool mar- ket on the 12th inst. The sales on that day were unimportant. Forty-eight thousand bales were sold during the week. Flour went off slowly, without any advance in price. Sugars were dull in the Lon- don market, and prices easier for buyers. There was very little inquiry for coffee. Consols closed in London on the 12th inst. at 98} for money, and 084 a 98} for the 7th of December, ‘The bullion in the Bank of England had decreased $1,869,050 since the date of last return. Owing to the drain of specie from France to Germany, the bullion in the Bank of France had fallen off to the extent of $4,600,000 during the month ended on the I2th itst. The aguregate amount of bullion in both banks at last date was $1977 5. Money was freely offered in London at two per cent on government securities. American stocks were quite animated, and in good demand. Tt was asserted that Spain, encouraged by a pret- ty well founded hope of Anglo-French aid in the Gulf, would certainly make a hostile demonstration against Mexico. A large body of troops were to be forwarded to Cuba. Napoleon's letter on “negro immigration” mo the approval of most of the Paris papers. Ze Nord, of Brussels, says that the French government only intends to renounce the traflic in African blacks on condition that it shall obtain from England all the tucilities desired for the substitation of coolies from Tudia. it was rumored that the Prince of Monaco was about to sell his principality, situated between Nice end Villsfranca, to Russi The steamship Indian Empire, three weeks out from New York, was not heard of at Galway when the Africa sailed. The preliminary ete favor of the new ministry Professor Whitehouse still hoped that the Atian- tic cable would ultimately work so a= to pay a handsome dividend to the shareholders. A serious excitement prevailed in Japan, and the prejudice against foreigners was renewed, owing to the fact that the natives were dying of cholera, which they said was corried there by an American war ship.

The American City Committee met last evening aad proceeded to ballot for candidates for Governor of the Almshouse and Comptroller. On the first ballot Fred. C. Wagner was nominated for Governor of the Almshouse, and on the third ballot Robert T. Haws for Comptroller. The Convention then adjourned. Mr. Haws is also the republican nomi nee was levy Both bowers of the Indiana Legisleture have adopted resolations declaring the election of Messrs. | Bright aud Fitch, United States Senators from that State, Megal, unconstitutional and void. As the dixpute about these Senators will be apt to lead to discussion during the next session of Con gress, the following explanation of the state of the case will be found interesting and asefnl:—When the Nebraska bill was passed, in 1954, both the Indiana Senators (Messrs, Bright and Pettit), were administration democrats, and supported it. Mr. Pettit’s term expired in 1955: Mr. Bright's in 1857. The Indiana Legislature only meet; biennially. At its next meeting ofer the pas sage of the bill there was a Nebraska majority in one house, bot an anti-Nebraska majority in the other and on joint ballot. The Nebraska men sur eed d, however, in preventing a joint Convention 40 nothing was done, and Pettit's seat remained va cant. At the next meeting of the Legisleture, two years after, « similar opposition betwen the houses, bid fair to lead to a similar result. But the democrats procured a joint Convention, with a de mocratic majority in it, which re-elected Mr. Bright and elected Dr. Fiteh to fill the vacant seat of Mr Pettit.

A resolution was adopted directing the Street Commissioner to report to the Board the cause of the delay in repairing the City Hali. Hudson River Railroad Company presented a re- monstrance against the passage of a resclution im- posing onerous conditions relative to the runaing of small cars, The Mayor vetoed a resolution granting permission to the owners of property on Vighty-cighth street, between Second aad Third avenues, to regulate und curb that portion of the street, He also returned, without approval, a 1eso- Intign amending and changing the grade tines of Forty-ninth street, between Second aud Third avenues. The report of the Committea on Ordi- nances, recommending ameudments in the or ‘inance regulating the Street Department, was called up and gave rise to considerable debate, and was subsequently laid over. A young lawyer, named Charles Breton Leslie, was brought before Justice Osborne yesterday, charged with practising a deception upon a lady in Brooklyn, by representing himself to be an, agent of a law firm in New York who had charge of 4 ted. ggthe accused ed deception, managed to as- certain + and cireumstances connected with the law suit, te the evident chagrin of the lady and her lawyers. The offence charged is sizaply a misdemeanor, and the Justice held the accused to answer in the sum of $500, which was promptly forthcoming. The investigation into the conduct of officer Ba- er, who permitted Dr, Gaillardet to escape from ustedy, was concluded yesterday. The Recorder conid not determine whether the officer had com- mitted u criminal offence or not, but stated that he would not permit him to attend in the Court of Ses- sions while he was on the bench. A full report of the evidence is given in another column. The willet Henry P. Legrand was admitted to probate yesterday in the Surrogate’s office. The will was previously contested on the grounds of ua- due iufluence and incapacity in the testator to make his will, but the Surrogate decided to admit the will to probate, holding that the testator was competent to make and execute his will. Deceased was a practising physician in the city of New York, and was possessed of cousiderable wealth. The cotton market continued firm yesterday, and closed with a tendency to higher prices. The sales embraced about 5,060 bales, closing tf on a basis of 120. for mid- dling uplands, while some tales were made at 12);c. Flour was firmer, with a fair local and Eastern demand, while common and medium grades closed at a slight im provement. Whrat was firm for good to prime qualities, while sales Were ‘ight.

It appears that in all sections of the country, and among all parties and classes of politicians, the late remarkable speeches of Senator Seward and Senator Hammond on the political issues of the day are regarded us more clearly exhibiting the dangers which surround the great republi- can porty of the North than all the other politi- cal developements of the last two eventful years. In this connection, the article which we publish today on the “Signs of the Times,” from the National Ant-Slave-y Standard, of this city, the central organ of the radical abolitionists, will be found somewhat interesting to the inquiring po litical reader. We are told by thie leading abolition organ, that notwithstanding the alarm which the Roches- ter manifesto of Mr. Seward has created among the orguas of the republican party, it “is what they have got to come to, for there is no other bond of cohesion that can keep their party to- gether.” This may be true; but if true, we may safely pronounce the speedy dissolu- tion of the party, or ite reduction to the abolition Presidential vote of Birney, Male or Van Buren. Next, we are rined that Mr. Hammond takes the same view of the republican policy for 1860 as Mr. Seward, “aud that as the forlorn hope of slavery, he lays dgwa a platform on which the slaveholders and Mr. Douglas can stand shoulder to shoulder.” But alibough our abolition cotemporary imagines that the whole South, after “much viralense and many contortions,”’ will “come to the same pru- dent conclusion, and cat humble pie as an obla- tion to Douglas and slavery at the congregation of Charleston,” the fear remains that there may be a change in the whole order of things on both sides which will cast the negro agitation into the background. Thue, in reference to 1860, we adopt the words of our radical abolition philosopher, and concur in bis opinion “that there may be a reflux in the tide of public sentiment’’~ ‘that there may be yet another compromise on both sides in that accept- able yea that “the republicans may not get courage enough to put Mr. Seward at their head, with the standard he has unfurled in his hand”~-and that “the slavebolders, on the other hand, may find the sing of Douglas too unpardona- bie to be wiped out.” This, on both sides, is pre- cisely what we think is most likely to take place— the rejection of both Seward and Douglas, the one for having betrayed himself too soon in the North, and the other for having betrayed the South and broken up the Northern democracy in his desperate “popular sovereignty” experiment of carrying water on both ehoulders. We bold, too, that in “the signs of the times” we may discover abundant symptoms foresha- dowing a complete revolution and reconstruction of parties in the important interval to 1860—a revolution which will leave Seward and Douglas bigh and dry among the driftwood of 4 freshet that has subsided, and a reconstruction that will bring new men and new issues on both sides into the foreground. We have arrived at a crisis in the diplomatic complications of Spanish, Mex- ican and Central American affairs, and upon the incidental but paramount question of the mari- time jurisdiction of the Gulf of Mexico, which it appears to ue, can no longer be evaded by our government. We are therefore, surprised tol th pou tl ¢ not hapter of ont fore 1 | to detain him « day Langer tha be feols abl deliberating from day to day, in view of aome de- finite line of action which will bring all this chain of entanglements to a practical American solution. What may be the precise recommendations of the President to Congress in reference to Mexico, Central America, Cuba, or St. Domingo, we know not; but we apprehend that, whatever in the message may be recommended, such are the pressing nccessities of Mexico and of Central America for some decisive policy on our part, tht the dificuitie and duties thus indicated are aa kely to devlope the absorbing issues of 1560 a8 anything else in the whole calendar of our foreign and domestic affairs. We believe, (oo, hat the President, fully appreciating the igenctes of the day, his responsibilities and rue policy, will not fail to indicate the micas aud the measures best adapted on our yart for the pacification and reorganization of Mexico, for the settlement of the Nicaragua im- broglio, and for the supremacy of our commerce, our influence and our authority in the Gulf and the Caribbean Sea, and in the matter of those transits between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In any event, from the diplomatic and legis- lative work thus foreshadowed, we may reason- ably expect such developements and practical issues of agitation, by the year 1860, as will eu- tirely overwhelm our internal slavery agitation, and all the aspirants and -demagogues of every party who stand upon the rickety Kansas plat- form of “popular sovereignty,” or by the bloody abolition instructions of the Rochester manifesto. But, again, The late financial revulsion has left the monetary affairs of the government and the country in a condition demanding imperious- ly the immediate application of a comprehensive system of relict aud reform. The necessities of the federal treasury are such that neither loans nor treasury notes will much longer afford’ even a temporary remedy. The President will doubt- less appropriate a very considerable and impres- sive portion of his annual message to this im- portant subject in all its ramifications. Congress will thas be compelled to consider the ways and means of relief for the past, and “security for the future; and thus, upon the money question and its appendages of tariffs, banks, corporations, bankruptcies, &e.,a new schedule of political issues will probably be created, upon which we may have two or three great parties organized in season for the contest of 1860, The Kansas agitation has done its work North and South, and is practically exhausted; “ popu- lar sovereignty” in the Territories is a humbug; Dred Scott is too much of au abstraction for party purposes; the extension of slavery into the ting Territories of the Union isinterdicted by deserts, barren mountains, climate and produc- stions, The repeal of the Fugitive Slave law has been agitated and abandoned; and hence the pro- clamation of Seward of © an irrepressible con- flict” between the North and the South, until slavery shall cease to be even in South Carolina. Jt was a bold and desperate move; but it bas al- ready failed. He must stand aside, and Douglas must be content to await the devclopements and abide by the new questions which will inevitably supersede the slavery agitation in the interval to 1860, If Kangas for four years bas monopo- lized our party politics and governments, State and federal, surely the reconstruction of our financial and commercial fabric from the ruins of 1857, and our critical and important relations concerning Mexico, Ceatral America, Cuba and the Gulf, will be sufficlent to supersede the Ro- chester manifesto and the peculiar Kansas aspi- rations of Mr. Douglas for eight or ten years to come. Tur Caxmpares ron Crry Orrices, But few days yet remain for the voters of this city to decide whether the affairs of its government shall be entrusted to the hands of efficient and trast- worthy officers, or to old hack politicians, igno- rant porterhouge loafers and professional rogues, We have spread before cur readers the names of all the candidates secking office at the en- suing charter election, aud have distinguished between those who pay taxes directly to the support of the government and those who do not. To-morrow we shall publish the occupa- tions of all these candidates, in order that our readers may know who the individuals are who are claiming their votes, avd may thus have an opportunity of exercising that discretion which the cireutnstanecs of the election imperatively demand. It should not be lost sight of that all these offices, however insignificant some of them may appear, are highly important as making a part of the machinery of our manicipal govern- ment. The Comptroller, as the name of bis office inmplies, controls the finance depart- ment, and directly disbarses the public mo- ney by warrants ised to the Chamberlain, and he can prevent or connive at frauds, jnst ax he is disposed. The Almsbouee Governor has a voice in the disposition of large sums of money. The school officers have command over a mil- lion and a quarter of dollars and the entire edu- cational system of our city, while the Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen vote away all the money to he disbursed for every purpose of the city government, pass ordinances for the opening and regulating of streets, and bave much to say in the increasing or reducing of our taxation. The character, then, of every candidate for any of these offices should be carefully ecanned, and no man who does not bear a good reputa- tion, who is not faithful, intelligent and honest, should be voted for. This is simply the duty of every man who has a vote to give at the charter election next month: Gesreat Dara. -The admirers and well wish- ers of this iustrious men will he rejoiced to find, from the account published in another column, that the injaries under which he is suffering are not of « character to inspire any serious appte- hensions. The fears expressed yesterday of mor- tification setting in were not, as it now turns out, justified by a surgical oxamination. The ner- yous attack which at one period gave rise to this idea, was, it seems, an old affection to which the General is subject, and could not, therefore, be regarded as an unfavorable symptom of his ac- cident. Since then he has enjoyed a good deal of refreshing sleep, and is now going on as well as his friends cau desire. There i# reason to hope that in a few days he will be completely re- stored to health, with the exception, of course, of the local effects of his injury, which will take some time to remove. Tlis departure, therefore, although retarded, will not probably be delayed for more than another week. The people of Venezuela are looking forward so anxiously to his arrival, as the means of healing up their par- ty differences and restoring peace and good go- vernment to their distracted country, that we feel sure the General will not allow any conside- ration but the direct prohibition of bis surgeons to Extension of Diflomacy—A New Placer for American Belles, The recent’ developementa of the policy of the barbarous nations—England, France, Russia and the United States of Ameri- ca—bid fair to make some magnificent ad- ditions to the diplomatic corps of Paris, London, St. Petersburg and Washington. The powerful an@ populous Oriental na- tions--China, Japan, Turkey and Persia have at last euccumbed, in a degree, to the inno- n= of the Western Powers, aud through the perseveranee of European and American nego- tiators have been persuaded to commence the work of Orientalizing the Europeans and Ameri- cous by an interchange of the ideas, the pro- ducts, the habits, manners and customs common to all parties. The labors of Mr. Townsend Har- tis, our Consul General in Japan, have put the crowning point upon the exertions of the dipiomatists at Ticu-tsin. This work of Mr. Harris, oommenced with the railway, telegraphi: apparatus, daguerreotype materials, and other diabolical Western innovations left in Japan by Perry, and now concluded so well, provides, among other things, that there shall be a dapan- ese mission to Washington; and according to the Consut’s account, the arrival of auch a legation may be confidently expected betore the ead of the approaching year. .The British Ambassador, Figia, stipulated in the treaty of Ticn-tain that there should be a Chinese mission to London,” and as Mr. Reed was careful to insert in his treaty (iat the United States should be treated in every respect ag well as the most favored nation, it would seem to be quite certain that « representative of the Son of the Sua amd Unele of the Moon will, before many months have passed, be asked to dine at the White House, and shake his pigtail over the peo- ple of the United States in Congress assembled. The Ottoman Porte, the legitimate representa- tive of the Commander of the Faithful, bath like- wise fallen away from the strict law which is laid down in the Koran. The Sultan of Turkey wears the (rowsers of the Frank, dines the British Minister and wife in the sacred precincts of the harem, visits an American man-of-war, and de- sires that the Wag Officer of the squadron shall particularly report the fact to the President of the United States. It is further understood that, in view of the fact that many Americans are residing in the East, cither for business or in- struction or pleasure, and that our Oriental trade is becoming more and more important every year, the President will recommend to Congress in his next message the propriety of sending a mission to Persia, which courtesy would un- doubtedly be reciprocated in the highest style of Ispahan. So we may expect to see in Washing- ton, before a great while, the diplomatic corps reinforced by representatives from China, Japan, Turkey and Persia, the four leading Eastern Powers, occupying, with regard to Asia, the po- sition that England, France, Russia and the United States enjoy in the Western world. The commercial importance of this. movement is thoroughly aaderstood. But the world is not altogether mercantile, and in the interchange of the thoughts of nations there are social and poli- tical problems, as well as the laws of trade, to be considered. The Eastern Powers regard us as barbarians. They would prefer to let us die in our ignorance; but, on the principle of anything for a quiet life, they submit to our pertinacity, and trast to Orientalize us, The Turk, how- ever, has already become half a Parisian in his clothes, and looks admiringly npon « Yankee ship and a Yankee crew. Will it be so with the mugnificos of Ispahaa, of Pekin and of Jeddo® We shall see. Whatever may be the result, the cireurastances are curious enough. The Persian Ambassador to Paris brought only a modest suite of forty or fifly persons; but as we get further Hast the po- pulation becomes more dense, and men are counted by the hundreds of thousands. A China- man in high office never goes abroad officially without being followed by a train equal in num- bers to a Fourth of July procession in a country village: and a Japanese Counsellor of State travels about with » suite of ten thousand persons. Some general idea of the magni- ficonce of Eastern potentates, even iu this age, may be gathered from the foregoing facts— and one may imagine what an excitement the Chinese plenipotentiary, with all his feathers, buttons and tails, the Persian diplomat, with bis splendid cashmeres, and the Japanese, with his long train of followers, would make among our excitable people. Imagine the landing of the Japanese ambaseador at the Battery, from one of our national ships, in full state. What a tre- mendous reception he would have! What an awful array of resolutions would be adopted hy the Common Coaneil! What scenes in the Governor's Room at the City Hall! What visions of fat jobs would dawn upon the brains of our virtuous municipal rulers! fn fact, what a grand time we would have all round! Again, the subject is of the highest import to the fashionable world. Latterly some of our prettiest, most distingué and cleverest belles have found nothing good enough for them at home, and have tried tho experiment of amalgamating with and amexing to eligible foreign Powers. Several European diplomats have carried off valuable prizes in the shape of Yankee wives; but the sup- ply is not yet exhausted. There is a splendid opening for the deserted Ariadnes with the Oriental legations, All the persons attached to them will have fabulous wealth, of course; and as for pedigrees, they cnn go back nobody knows bow many thousand years. Then they have such astonishing silks, such lots of gems, such ravishing cashmeres, and such an extraordinary lot of pretty things of sll kinds, which they will bring with them for prevents, that the prospect is eomething magnificent. The beauty and in- telligence of American women are universally acknowledged; why should they not captivate the Orientals? Who shall say that a Fifth ave- nue queen eball not reign in the gardens of Ixpaban, or give the Jaw in the imperial palace of Jeddo, or sport her eaique with thirty-six oars in the eparkling waters of the Golden Horn, or introduce fashionable Christianity and crinoline at the same time in the first society of Pekin? It is a splendid chance for some of our feminine phi and we have no dould that they will go in for it with that enthusiasm which is always the forerunner of complete success, Tur Daren Score Drowton vs. Portran So- verstonty-—The home organ of Mr. Dow,las, the Chicago Times, among its leading articles do- fining the position of the “Little Giant” on the tlavery question, since the Illinois election, has published the following explonation touching the invisible boundary line where the Dred Sent decision in the Territories gis ey bo ye { wen This at home have evidently very little respect for the dicta of the Southern ultras, or the Chicago Times would not thus boldly re-affirm the footing of the IMinois democracy:— ‘They support the decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred tease in the sense that it guaranties to the owners of slave gene | an Gye with tho owners of other rty in introducing jt into the Territories; con- tend: velo that an slave property la Be eee on an equal footing with other property, it, like othor_pro- perty, must bo subject to all such local laws of the ‘Terri- toriea'aa do not infringe upon the constitution of the United States; that slave property being thus placed on ap cquali- ty with other propeity, if it require higher and furthor affirmative legislation for ite protection and gecurity than is afforded to other property, and the Legislature of the ‘Territory should decide not to discriminate in its favor to that extent, then (he failure (0 obtain that higher protection than is afforded to ciher property ts a misfortune a'tending that desoription of property, for thick (he democralic party have no remedy ae are not responsible, In view of this difficulty to the Territorial slaveholders, several leading democratic organs and orators of the South insist that Congress shall provide a special code of slavery protecting laws for the Territories; but upon thia point Mr. Douglas pleads Congressions! non-intervention.

Forechadowings of tie Seorctaries' Reports—the Tarif—Mr Celd's Views—the Prisedential Contest—Games on the Pe- Uhical Chess Board—the Republicans Anxious for a Coali- ton between Senator Douglas and the Administration—In teresting Statistical Calculation for the Campaign of 1860— importance to the Democracy of the Immediate Admission of Oregon and Kansas, ete All rumors a6 to what the Secretaries will or will aot re- commend, must be taken with much allowance, as they Lave determined to keep their own counsel and pot com municate their views to the public in advance of their re ports, which are yet unwritten. Judging of Mr. Cobb by his former report, it is scarcely reasonable to infer that he Is in favor of an increase of the tariff. It is well known that the manufacturing and com- mercial world, at teastthe more oxpericnced and enlight ened portion of it, desire nothing so much as stability and permanency in the rates of duty. They invast their capi- tal upon an existing state of things, with the expectation of receiving paying divideuds if that state of things is preserved. This assurance given, they havo only to base their calculations in the management of their aMairs upon tho demand and supply, It is believed that the best pro tection which American labor oan now receive at tho hands of legisiation, is by the prohibition of the circulation of bank notes a8 bills of credit, The indux of the precious metals during the past ten years, and a corresponding in cresse iv our bank cifoulation, have so adulterated the currency tha! a dollar representa only half tho quantity of labor that it did ten years ago. Our pro cucers are paying for their labor these inflated prices, while they must sell their surplus jo foreign markets at bard money prices. On the other hand, foreign pro ducers are enabled to obtain twice the amount of iabor for « dollar which ean be produced in this country, and by sending their products to our market and selling at our infiated prices, they have us again at an advantage. With our present sepply of gold there is no excuse for bilis of credit. The issue of circulating notes should not be enfiered to go beyond the amount of specie and bul lion in the vaults of the bank. Then they would answer the same parpose with checks and bills of exchange. There is Little doubt but thas the people of this country, with their labor-saving and skill in adapung it, could compete With any other nation in the worll if they had the same — of ‘value for labor. It isa tittle sin — proves an extray: Fue continve’ intise of gold. to ‘lees quite sufficiently, without being adu! ‘on the ground that if tho breach is kept open he will an independent candidate, carrying four or five Westera free States, and porhaps Pounsyivania and Ohio, thereby defeating them and securing the success of the democra. 7, or—which would be just as bad for them—throwing the election into the House, where it is clear the republi cans will stand no chance of success. Mr. Douglas has written bere that, owing to illness in his family, he will not arrive at the opening of the session. This may be for tunate for him, aa upon the course pursued by lim and his (rionds in the carly days of the session may depend — of complete dismemberment of the domocratic party. ‘The following figures show the vote of the next Kiecte. ral College, in Case Oregon and Kansas are admitted — Free Stace.
