The steamship Saxonia, which left Southampton on the 3d inst., arrived in the bay last night, but had not arrived up at two o'clock this morning. Sbe brings one day later news from Europe. The Legislature finally adjourned at nine. o'clock last evening. A full report of the closing proceed- ings, which are very important—as they mainly re- late to the financial affairs of both the city and State—may be found in another part of to-day’s Henan. The West India mail steamship Karnak arrived at this port at noon yesterday from Havana and Nassau, N.P., bringing interesting advices from the leading islands, St. Domingo and Hayti. The dates are: Turks Islands, 19th ult.; St. Thomas, ‘st; St. Johns, Porto Rico, 2d; Havana, 12th, and Nassau, 14th inst. There is nothing of importance from Havana. Foreign cattle, fowls, eggs and other articles for food, from Spanish ports, in Spanish vessels, are to be admitted duty free for six months fromthe 8th inst’ The same brought in foreign vessels from forcign ports, to be charged from four to eight per cent ad valorem duty. Consul General Heim was to leave for New Orleans for one month, bringing bills for arrears due by our government for work done in the office before he took it. The city was healthy. Sugar was active, and in good demand, while freights had improved. Porto Rico enjoyed “a good trade and was healthy. Government has in future to appoint all interpreters to act between the port officers and masters of vessels. The men must be good lin- guists and well educated. Government will pay them, and fix the charges for their services. The island of St. Thomas was tranquil and healthy. Weather fine. Tlie stock of provisions in in market was much reduced. Flour rated at $7 25, $7 60 and $8, according to quality. Selt sold at from seven and a half to eight cents at Grand Turk, with little doing. The weather was good for raking. The health of the port and island ‘was good. Our advices from St. Domingo City are dated on the 23d ult. The Legislature had passed a vote of thanks to Don Rafael Maria Baralt for meritorious services, The naturalization laws had been libe- ralized towards Dominicans born abroad and foreigners going to reside in the territory of the re- public. Every portion of the country was qniet, and the people engaged in industrial pursuits. Friendly diplomatic relations prevailed with the new Executive of Hayti. President Geffrard, of Hayti, bad issued an impor. tant circular to the commanders of the different departments, charging them to visit their districts frequently, and assure the people of the prote: tion of the government and its care for their in- terests and prosperity. We publish the paper to-day. Our Bahamas papers do not contain any news. We find in the Bermuda papers that news been received there by her Britannic Ma: steamer Styx,from Jamaica, thatthe demands of the British government on Mexico were in course of satisfactory settlement. We publish elsewhere some additional intelli- gence relative to the progress of the revolution ia Venezuela. The latest accounts from Porto Ca- bello are to the 2d inst. Taat city was in arms, and business was almost entirely suspended. In the interior the rebellion was wide spread. General Garvaez had been routed by Pinto, and Gen. Za mora had plundered San Felipe of $100,000 worth of property... Our Trinidad files inform us that General Sotilio, the most prominent man in the present revolution in Venezuela, set out from that island, where he had been as a political exile, on his mission of invasion and war, having obtained by some means a lot of firearms formerly used by the militia there. A few filibusters ac companied him, and he left in the brig T. F. Knox for Cedros, and from thence proceeded to Venezuela. The testimony in the Sickles case yesterday: like that of the day previous, was of a to prove the adulterous connection betweea Key and Mrs. Sickles. See our report for details. ad The Board of Ten Governors held their weekly | meeting yesterday. Governors Smith and Pine ney presented two counter petitions to the one cently presented by Governor Townsend, which was signed by Archbishop Haghes and 2,145 Ro man Catholics, and which appeared in the Hexatp afterwards. The petitions presented yesterday ex- prees the desire that as the institutions are sap- ported by the public of all denominations, no ex- clusive religious privileges shall be granted to any Bect in particular; and they also state that the granting of such a petition as the one signed by the Archbishop would be subversive of the princi- ples upon which the constitution of the nation rests. They urge that if the Catholics want the privilege of exclusive religions training for the chiffren they claim, they should bear the expenses of them themselves, and take them en tirely under their charge. One of the petitions was signed by 1,200 and the other by 200 names. An invitation from the Brooklyn Common Council to be present’ at the water celebration to come off there on the 27th of April, was received and ac. cepted. A resolution was adopted appropriating $850 for procuring plans and a survey of the pro- posed addition to the Nursery Hospital on Randall's Island. The estimated cost of ine improvement is $10,000, The following medical men were «lected te Buropain Baltion core Wedeees ay | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. | 1 the vacancies in the Medical Board:-—Drs.

We give a report of the pro- ceedings in another column. ‘Tho sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,100a 1,200 bales, the market closing without animation, Flour was heavy for the lower grades of State and Wostern brands, and closed at a decline of from 5c. to 10c. per bbl., while good to choice extra brands were unchanged. Sales were made toa fair oxtent, chiefly to the local and Rast. erp trade. Wheat was firm, with fair salea, at ratesgiven in another column. Corn was firmer, with rather more doing, including sales of yellow Jersey and Southorn at 87340. a 88c.,and Western mixed at 833¢0. a 84c. from store, and at 3éc. delivered. Pork was in rather better demand, with sales of new mess at $17 a $17 25, and prime at $12 873; a $12 60. Sugars were steady, with sales of about 800 a 900 hhds. and 70 boxes at rates given in another column. Coffe was firm and more active, with sales of the cargo of the Clara Haxali—5,500 bags Santos, 1,700 mats Java, 200 bags Rio, 160 do. Laguayra, 710 a 800 do.

Teas were firm, and about 4,000 half cheste of the Swordfigh’e cargo, of desirable greens, were sold yesterday through brokers’ hands, at full prices. A part of the cargo is to be offered at public sale, Freight engagements were moderate and rates heavy. Among the shipments were about 1,000 bales of cotton for Liverpool at 5.324, a 3 16d. Adjournment of the Legisiature-Result of lts Labors. The long agony is over. The Legislature, after prolonging its session five days more than the legal term of service, adjourned last night at nine o'clock. Regarding this session in many points of view, it has been a remarkable one, Never before did so influential, ghutgry and obstreperous a lobby beset the balls of legislation, and never before did such desperate measures of usurpation, di- rected against the liberties and rights of this me- tropolis, receive the countenance of that body. Happily, however, they were defeated. The close of the session yesterday was marked by a deter- mined opposition to the Supply bill. First it was debated in the Assembly, with an appropria- tion of $135,000 for the expenses of such a Qua- rantine as would protect th’s city from yellow fever and other infectious diseases; but this sum was subsequently attempted to be divided, so as to appropriate $75,000 to pay the interest on the canal drafts, and $50,000 for quarantine pur- poses, but without success. Upon going to the Senate in this form, a committee of conference was appointed, and ata late hour of the evening it was reported back as it came from the Assem- bly. At the last moment, a republican Senator moved to non-concar in all the clauses of the bill except that providing for the appropriation to pay the interest on the canal drafts; but he was overruled, and the bill passed as reported. Up to the time of adjournment the following remaining bills affecting the interests of this city had become law: -The tax levy, which, among other items, includes the sum of $880,000 to pay the Lowber and other judgments against the Cor- poration; and the sum of $20,000 for the ex- penses of ex-Mayor Wood and the old police in their suit in opposition to the Metropolitan Police law. The appropriation of $250,000 for the Com- missioners of Records, after a hot contest in both houses, was finally stricken out. The bill reor- ganizing the Fire Department also passed, and the Appropriation bill, after being referred to a committee of conference of both houses, to settle the disagreement which aose upon various amendments, was similarly disposed of. Among the bills defeated were the new charter for this city —a most flagrantly wicked and cor- rupt measure—and the bill reorganizing the Health Department, the effect of which is to leave the City Inspector difficulty between the Mayor and the Aldermen in its former position, the bill having provided for the abolition of that office. In many respects this bill was an excel- lent one, and its defeat is to be regretted. The bill appropriating a million of dollars for the new City Hall was also killed, as were all the city railroad bills—a result in both instances which is satisfactory, in view of the amount of jobbing and corruption involved in these schemes. The republican party stultified themselves in ; the most notorious fashion by their action on j tbe Temperance bill—a measure for which they } professed the most cordial favor. Upon its first introduction into she Assembly the bill prasad - an event apparently quite unexpected by its as sumed friends—and a republican member moved a reconsideration of the vote, which was carried, | and a motion to take it up again was denied: | Thus the republican majority strangled the off spring for which they hyprocritically professed | the greatest love and admiration. | On two iniquitous measures the Governor was compelled to pronounce a veto: the bill granting | an appropriation to the Albany and Susque- \ hannah railroad, and the bill providing for the "| payment of interest on the Canal drafts, $75,000 | of which was subsequently so adroitly tacked on to the Supply bill, at the expense of the removal | of Quarantine, a measure most essential to the | health of this metropolis. It has been manifested by the proceedings of | this session of the Legislature, and of the late Congress, that the lobby is so strong that while it can obstruct the wheels of legislation in both bodies, it actually defeats itself, The eyes of members have been opened so well to the im- mense profits which may be realized by the va- rious lobby echemes—our city railroads, for ex- ample—that their demands have grown too ex- orbitant to be supplied; #0 that when one of these pet bills of the lobby passes one house, the tariff advances to such an extent in the other that the Jobby financiers are unable to meet the demands, and the bill is killed; the public all the while wondering by what means its defeat ‘was effected. We congratulate the taxpayers of this city upon the demise of this scssion of the Legis- Intare, ‘The Nicareguan Imbrogio---What the Com- merce of the World Requires of Our Go- vVerument. Our despatches from Washington confirm the views we bave so freqnently expressed im re- gard to the Central American imbroglio, and state that the mission of Sir William Gore Cuseley to Nicaragua has failed, so far as regards the chief poiats that it was hoped to establish. When the Case-Yrisarr. treaty was negotiated it met the warm approbation of the governments of France and England, to whom its tenor was Communicated ; and they at once communicated to our government the fact that they should ne gotiate similar treaties with Nicaragua as coou as the oue drawn up by Gen, Cass should be rati fled. Tor this object Sir W. G. Ouseley was commissioned, and instructed to pass through Washington on his way to post. The delay on the part of President Martinez in ratifying the treaty detained Sir nearly a year at Washington. At last he got new jostructions from home, and went down to Leon in the hope of carr ing through a treaty similar to the Cass Yrisarri, the ratification of which by Nicaragua might lead to the acceptance of the American treaty a'so. | A portion of the Nicaraguan Congress is now willing to accept the wise and salutary provisions stipulated by General Cass; but President Mar- tinez is oppoced to them. fe insists upon 60 ehaping the new treaties that they shall protect the Transit route and Nicaragua froin tiliouster invasion, but shall leave the former open to all kinds ot” interference on the part of the Nica- Taguan government and Ni¢araguan rebels. He goes even further. He covertly endeavors s0 to form them that under pretence of calling for toreign aseistance ‘o protect the Transit route, he may obtain it to support his own rile, which is already hateful to a large party in the country, and tbus force the republic into submitting to his dictation. His demands are utterly inadmissible by any government, unless it has covert views of acek ng admission there for the purpose of gain- ing possession of the territory for i seit. Marti- nez might ask for troops, and get them under the treaty; but when once in, it woud take some thing more than treaty stipulations to get them out. The occupation of Rome and the Pupal States is a present illustration in point; and the domestic policy of President Martinez has very little difference with that of Pio Nono. His recent foolish proceedings on the occasion of the »ppearance of the United States ship Decatur off San Juan del Sur, prove that he in fact is him- self one of the chief evils from which the Tran- sit route is to be protected. Without cause or provocation of any kind, and merely on an ab surd rumor, he seized the steamers, impri- soned their American officers and crews, and de- stroyed the road and bridges which had required mon bs of time and many thousands of dollars for their construction. Our goverament has de- termined that the transit of the several routes across the American isthmus shall be free and safe to the whole world. There are imperative reasons that impose upon it the enforcement of this security. The grant of the transit privilege is held by American citizens; American enter- prise and capital are in fact the only ones avail. able for the construction of the Transit route; American interests are the ones that will, throng through the Transit, with a great and constantly increasing preponderance; and the party now in transient possession of power in Ni- caragua has exhibited an ominous prejudice againet American citizens and their ioterests, Under these circumstances there is but one course for our government to pursue in the path of duty. Gen. Lamar is coming home; Sir Wm. Gore Ouseley has failed in the pacific views which he is supposed to have | enter- tained; the Cass-Yrisarri treaty, which is the ovly convention that can place the vast in- terests of the whole republic of trade on a safe footing in thoxe regions, still hangs fire. The Transit route is closed. American interests are violated, and American claims are insultingly ignored. In view of these facts, the government should at once replace Gen. Lamar with a per con selected for his fitness for the post, and not for any influence he may possess in local politics at home. Jf his former career has been such as to give him a knowledge of party divisions in his own State, or of lobby operations in Con- gress, it is proof positive that he has had no time toacquire the peculiar knowledge necessary to enable him to carry out the instructions of his government, and to protect the interests of his fellow-citizens in a Spanish-American commu- nity. Our Minister to those countries should not be debarred from rocial intercourse there by ignorance of every language and the forms of every society but our own. He should not be compelled to see, hear and learn everything through other eyes, ears and minds than his own. In conveying his views and impressions to those with whom he necessarily comes in contact, he should not be placed at the mercy of an inter- preter, who, however competent in tongug, must distil the ideas of the Minister through his own leas competent brain. And above all, he must possess the ability to mix in and interchange courtesies with other social circles than such as may be aflorded there by a few American resi- dents, who sometimes are little more than very questionable adventurers, * When the President has appointed such a Minister—and any other will fail—he shovld be instructed to say to the govern- ment of Nicaragua that they must ratify the Cass-Yrisarri treaty, pure and simple, or none; that the American citizena will be pro- tected in opening the Transit route, and Ameri- can and all other interests, in crossing over it, by American guns; and that Nicaragua must enter at once upon the consideration and settlement of the just claims ofour people against her. These instructions mast be backed up by the naval po- icy that bas been so successful in Paraguay. A portion of that fleet can touch at San Jaan del Norte on its way home, to he used if occasion should require it. By pursuing this conrse the President will settle this Transit route imbroglio, Protect our interests and those of commerce everywhere in thore regions, and establish secu- rity for transit travel over every American isth- mus upon a firm and safe foundation. Tue Cuarteston Coxvextion—Some of the regular democratic organs are questioning Judge Douglas, Chevalier Forney and their anti-Le- compton “popular sovercignty” newspapers, whether they do or do not intend to abide by the nomination and the platform of the Charleston Convention? All such questions, we presume, will be answered in the Convention, and not be- fore. We suspect, too, that the upshot of the Convention will be the final dispersion of the democracy, and two or three scrub tickets; for it is manifest that the fixed policy of every pro- minent clique of the party jugglers for the suc” essslon ly pul, gx puja, Our Pacific Empire and its Worthern Alttos— Russian Settlements en the Amoor. We publish today some iaterestiag letters and translations from the Russian possessions in Eastern Siberia, and ia regard to them, from which it will be seen that the developement of population and trade in the Russian portions of the shores of the Pacific is advancing with rapid strides, Indeed, the of Russian settlement in those distant regions exhibits an euterprise that emacks strongly of the American spirit, and can be compared only to our progress ia California and Oregon, or the process of Ssate building on our frontier, ia the heart of the North Amesican continent. It is but a few years aince the name of Amoor became familiar with our readers, and now that country has a regular mail and traosit connection of five thousand miles with the cen- tres of civilization ia Europe, aud exhibits mills, foundries, forges, steamboats, ship yards, ball rooms, clubs, and all the paraphernalia of active civilized life. And not alone this: It has ita regulur branch mail to Pekin, talks of erect- ing a telegraph from St. Petersburg to Behring’s Straita, aud across these to our own possessions on the shores of the Pacific, of catting a canal from the Amoor river to Vladimir harbor, and possesses an energy of vitality that is already causing it to occupy better and more genial tocations for its harbors, and is pushing its southern boundary southward with a rapidity that gives it an indistinct and undefined cha- racter. There ig something in this equality of rapid growth among American and Russian settle- ments on the Pacific that should make us stop and reflect upon its probable cause. We believe it will be found in the similarity of the policy and aim of government in the two countries. It is true they are extremely different from cach other in their forms; but extremes often meet, and the present case is one of them. Many, if not all, of the European Powers claim a thousand years of history and preced nt; while the govern- ments of the United States and Russia in Asia are modern governments, cramped by no musty theorfes, The Cabinets of Europe have long lines of traditional policy to sustain, and thou- sands of noble families to support, who claim, by virtue of descent, the right to exercise a pateraa! and protective government over society. This is not the case with us or with Russia. In each of these countries political theories and aims are entirely subordinate to the developement of in- dustry, commerce and material intérests. Both the Americans acd Russians take care to see that everything pays as it goes along; and as long as it pays itis followed up with all the ardor of ‘individual interests, and political policy shapes iteelf by material developement, never striving to exercise a contrary influence. This, whichis the true theory of all govern- qment—which is new-shaping kingdoms and re- publics, blotting out old territorial combinations and arranging them anew, in conformity with their geographical relations and material wants— is the new epirit of government that belongs pe- culiarly to the nineteenth century. It is rapidly prov ng to the world that social developement must precede political theories, and that social and not political necessities are what everything must give way before. It ison this foundation that the American and Russian empires in the Pacific are being built up; and this is the reason why they exhibit so rapid and portentous a de- velopement, Their forms of government are ap- parently dissimilar, but in practice are found to be nearly the same. In the United States all men are equal before the law. In Russia all except one map, are in the same position; and it is physically impossible that he should as- sume to swerve the law in its operation in indi- vidual cases, Such are the points of sympathy which the American and Russian find with each other, and which not only make them blend in action and thought everywhere, but also to ex- hibit a purity of material progress such as is seen between no other two nations. There is far greater sympathy between the Amoor settle- ments and California than between British Co- lumbia and Oregon. Tae Crry Democracy axp tHe Crry Cuar- Ter.—The defeat of the new charter bill intended for the political purification of this metropolis leaves the political field of this island in the un- dieputed occupation of thedemocracy. They are rejoicing over the result; but in December next we shall probably realize the same factious squabbles as those of December last. In the meantime, our fellow citizens must be content to snffer more than ever from dirt and taxation. What say the taxpayers? Between taxes and dirt, we ehall have a fine margin between this and December for an independent reform party. Prooress or Burnpinc iv New Yors.—We gave an account, a few days ago, of the amount of work in the construction of new buildings at present in the-hands of some of the leading ar- chitects in this city. We publish to-day a fresh instalment, furnished by many other firms not included in the former list. There is very little doubt, we think, that our prediction will be veri- fied with regard to the amount of money which will be expended in building during the coming season. Froin the figures we have presented, it is evident that over five millions of dollars will be expended in the erection of new buildings in this city between this time and the fall. All these undertakings will most probably be fairly under way soon after the first of next month, and this circumstance cannot fail to give a most valuable stimulus to trade generally. The bene- fit accruing to the artisan and laboring classes can hardly be over calculated; and upon the pros perity of these classes much of the improvement in business depends, for it is not the Fifth avenue alone which maintains thé city trade—the hard- handed workman is a substantial patron too. ‘The stagnation which succeeded the financial panic, though, as fucts prove, it did not absolute- ly impoverish the working classes of the city, must have affected them very materially. With the activity which this great increase in the building business suggests, there is no doubt that the position of the artisan and laborer must vastly improve. There ix a point in connection with this sub ject which should not be lost sight of, and that is the mode in which the new buildings are to be constructed with regard to safety. A moat remarkable illustration of the insecurity of build- ings has been presented within a few days in the falling of some houses in Cedar street, the foun- dations of which were proved to be entirely in- adequate to support the weight imposed upon them. Not only shoald the architect be satisfied that the foundation of his building is sound, but the dimensions of the walls erected thereon should be regulated in proportion with the height of the building, and the purposes for which the structure is designed. Builders bave heretofore boon too careless ia this rogard, and {t ls 9 ma ter which requirgs to be looked iato, Life and property toa large amount depend upon the Be- curity of such immense structures as it is the fashion to put up in New York in these days; and weare glad to perceive that the Legislature bave passed a stringent law, which we publish todey, which, if carried out, wiM insure that care and attention on this subject #0 essential to public eafety. May Merriments—Tag* Women’s Ricuts Par.osopuers 1 ‘He Fieip.—The month of May promises sport to the sooffurs. It is selected as the period when the elect of the rural districts come up to this wicked metropolis for the pur- pose of raising the funds wherewith to carry on the special war in which they are engaged for another year. The missionary and purely rell- gious societies fight gallantly against the devil and ali his works, and are therefore justified in attacking him in his stronghold, and obliging him, on the Napoleonic principle, to pay the ex- peoses of the campaign. On the other hand, the Bloomers, free lovers, spiritualists, Garri- | sonian abslitionists, come-outers, vote-youraelf- a-farmers, women’s righters, Fourierites, social- iste, harmonizers and Prudhommites, have a war against society and the church, which contest they have been carryiug on for a number of years, without, #0 far, any very cheering signs of success, Indeed, their special organ—the Tribune—ehows signs of weariness, and, indeed, faints by the wayside, and shrinks ia the heat of the battle. But shall the philosophers be discouraged be- cause the Hon. Massa Greeley turns from the manana in the wilderness towards the flesh-pots of Egypt? No! At least the wonten’s rights section hold out bravely. Not satisfied with the limited circulation of Massa Greeley’s paper, they have selected the Heratp: as a vehicle for the promulgation of their official advertisements, as will be seen by the following communica- tions:— Rocuester, April 18, 1859. Mr. Eprror— Will you please insert the enclosed notice in the news column of your daily, weekly and semi weekly papor, once, this week? If you make any charge therefor, pleage send your bill te me, at the Anti Slavery office, No. 6 Beekman street, New York, and I will pay at time of moetig. SUSAN B. ANTHONY. In compliance with Mistress Anthony’s request, we print her advertisement, as follows:— WOMAN'S RIGHTS. ‘Tho ninth anniversary of the National Woman’s Rights Aseociation will be held at Mozart Hall, Broudway, New York, on Thursday evening, May 12, at 73¢ o'clock. Addreeres by Lucretia Mott, Ernestine L. Rose, Caroline a aaly Rey. Antoincte Brown Biackwoll, Wendell Phillips, A weeting for businers and general dizoussion will be held at 234 P. M. of same day, and at same piace. Communications should be addressed to Susan B, An- thony, Anti-Slavery office, No. 5 Beekman strect, New York. ELIZABETH CADY STANTON, President. Susan B. Antiony, Secretary. Ofcourse we do not publish advertisements gratis, any more than the philanthropic Anthony, the philosophical Rose, or the theological Blackwell do their work of generally set- ting things to rights (svomen’s, not men’s) for nothing. They take up a small collec- tion at the door, and we do the same thing over our counter. But as we are anxious for everybody to have their rights—women and all— (when they find out what they are) we depart from our usual rule so far as to extend credit to our correspondent until the meeting of the Con- vention, and we suggest, respectfully, that she should hand over the money which she owes us to the Nursery or the Lying-in-Hospital, or the Woman’s Hospital, or some other in- stitution where the wrongs of women are re- dressed, or at least alleviated, by the funds of wicked and unregenerate men. We wish the Woman’s Rights Convention a pleasant time of it. “The convention next month will be, we believe, the fourth general assembly of the disgusted angels. Oceans of speeches have been made, miles of pamphlets, articles and essays have been written, but beyond a fearful increase of murders of wives by their husbands, and vice versa, come Whipping of men by women in the street, and the occasional appearance of mise- rable looking Bloomers, we have seen no special results to their labors. The Bloomer issue has been abandoned as an incumbrance to the platform. The style of dress has not been appreciated anywhere, except among the Caman- ches. We read of a Bloomer lady crossing the Plains, and being so muchadmired by the Red Men, that one brave offered her husband three squaws in exchange for her. What a pity the bargain was not consummated! Then the Bloom- ers might have commenced a social reform from primeval principles, and all the other come- outers might have made a grand rush to the new land of promise. Here, we are afraid, on account of the hardening influences of civilization, peo- ple only laugh at the efforts made for their regeneration. However, let Anthony, Rose & Co. come on and hold their convention. They are not quite so valuable to Tiffany, Ball, Stewart, and the other shopkeepers, as an invoice of opera singers, but for a day or two they are quite as entertaining. Tue Centra Park Apprtios—A Dovntrvn Benerrr.—We understand that the passage of the Central Park amendment act, which adds to the park the ground included between 106th and 110th streets, is the result of an understanding by which a certain well known politician is to be made a Commissioner in place of Mr. Dillon. We sin- cerely hope that this is not the case. Valuable as is this addition to the park, from its elevated and picturesque formation, it would be dearly purchased by such a compact. The person want- ed to fill the vacant place in the commission is not a politician, but a man of taste, fortune and entire independence of party influences. It is one of the few positions in which a man of refined habits and leisure can do good service to the public without offering violence to his own sensi- tiveness. To place a politician in it would be to infuse into the commission an element of dissen- sion and trouble, and perhaps finally to break it up. In any case his admission must lead to mal- administration of some sort, for persons. of this character never get into office without bringing in their train a host of hungry applicants and followers, whose claims have to be satisfied. It would be a thousand pities for such influences to be allowed to interfere with the progress which the works are now making. We would much have preferred to see the park confined to its former limits than to incur the risks with which we are threatened by the recent addition. Ti Arany Lossy.—The Albany lobby have fallen short of their calculations. They had counted upon millions, in city railroad jobs, street jobs, and a new apportionment, in a new charter, of our city spoils and plunder; but, like the Washington lobby, they have had a very poor harvest. Some of the managers of this Albany lobby have doubtless been bled pretty freely, but there need be no fears concerning Thurlow Weed. His contingent allowances may have failed; but his lobby “statistics,” good or bad, always command thy cash, Tum Arrnoacuiwa Degoration or Jamatca.— rn Eogiand recovered from the shock that given to ber [ndiaa empire by the eflert of ber philanthropirts to make the Hindoos take the Exeter Hall road to heaven, by bitiag cart- Tidges greased with mutton fat, than a new war between her Saxon troops and the inferior races in her West Indian colonies looms up. Our correspondence from Jamaica, published a few days since, and today, gives an account of the opposition of the negroes to the authorities io the parish of Westmoreland, and the seditious teachings of their preachers elsewhere, even im Kingston itself, These show that the meve- ment is not some purely local riot, but is a part of that “irrepressible conflict” between the white and black races, of which Senator Sewand, inthe propagandist here, In Jamaica, the blacks, having a vast nomerical preponderance over the whites, already begin to proclaim that these and the mulattocs “must be shoved into the sea,” and the spirit of revolt is spreading throughoms the island. When such a conflict begins ine community cowprising three hundred thoussad negroes aod some ten or fifteen thousand poverty stricken whites, the result cannot be doubtful. The recent movement in Westmoreland hag been supproased; but as yet no one has been punished, while the files of Jamaioa papers now before us are filled with such expres- sions as these:—“The firat lesson to be taught the people is submiesion;” “the growth of disaf- fection which bas too palpably manifested itself] amongst the lower clasees;” “signal examples have to be made;” “never bofore have they showed 80 much daring;” “the spirit of insabes-| dination and lawlessness does not manifest it in Westmoreland alone;” “an incipient desire ow the part of acertain class that the country should| be entirely in their hands—in short, that Jamatea| should be a second Hayti.”’ It is not alone the! editors of the Colonial Standard that usb language| like the above.

Oue of these closes with these ominous words:—‘“I far, sir, that our quiet is @nerely superficial, and that beneath there axel swellings and surgings which would break fe if they could.” And it is superficial. The present proceeding in the British Parliament, and among the au slavery fanatics of England, ate admirably oak lated to stimulate the blacks of Jamaica to bellion, jast as those of the French Assembly inl 1790 did those of Hayti. The white inhabi are striving to have an act passed by the Lmpe rial Parliament authorizing the importation coolies from India into Jamaica, to supply that necessary labor which the freed negroes will give; and the Exeter Hall fanatics are denoun ing it as an outrage upon the liberated black The countenance of Exeter Hall is not need ed to make the blacks oppose the impo tion of coolies The experiment was some years since, and the contest betwe negroes and Hindoos was inaugurated. consequence was that the latter were ne all abandoned Ly their employers, aud moatd: returned to India by charitable subscriptia Letters publiched in our columns three yoann ago depicted the miscrable condition of the fe who remained. As they gathered round passengers of an occasional steamer, plead for alms, the negroes would mock and de: them, calling out to the strangers, “don’t gi 7em apyting, massa; dey don’t belong to us.” Governor Darling muy, perbaps, report to home government that all is well, as the Gor nors in Iodia did before the rebellion there. Bu if he does, he knows not the pent up voles that is surging beneath his feet. Emancipatic was one act of the tragedy that is working i self out in Jamaica. The forced cessation o the apprenticeship before its term expired another. Revolntion will be the next; aud th last bloody catastrophy no one dares to conte phate. Like causes must produce like effect under similarity of circumstances, Hayti is antecedent of Jamaica, and one eventual awaits both. A Hircn in Tue Macuiwery.—The Hon Massa Greeley groans and growls over the dd feat of our new charter, and his Albany reporte charges the failure to certain republicans, an their game of trading off their votes upon o metropolitan affuirs for other votes ia support o their local bills. This may be so; but if so, acommentary upon the botching and bunglin of the republican lobby.
