Astor Pisce. ru w York, Friaay, Aprtl 29, 1559, ‘The News. We have received private advices and files of papers from Utah up to the 2d inst. The news is very intoresting, but we have been unable to find fpace for it in this morning’s Heraup. The tele- graphic despatch relating io that Territory pub lished on Wednesday is in the main fully confirm. ed. Judge Cradlebaugh’s proceedings at Provo had created the grea’ excitement throughout the Territory. In addition to the company of one han- @red soldiers quartered inthe vitivity of the Court House at the request of the Judge, Gen. Johnston had sent nine hundred more to camp within a few miles of the city, The inhabitants of Provo avd of Utah county petitioned the Judge to remove the troops, and remonstrated with him on the course he was pursuing. Governor Camming demanded of General Johnston the with- Grawnl of the troops, which the General refused. Petitions to the Governor for protection were pour, ing in upon him, and he had issued a proclamation condemning the conrse of the Judge and General. It is asserted that the Mormon leaders were exer- cising overy influence to preserve the peace, but Bome of them had began to talk of limits to enda- rance. Our Washington despatch informs us that the government, not approving of the course of the Judge, has determined on his removal. The steamship Africa, which left Liverpool on tho 16th inst, arrived at this port last evening. ‘Two days lator news, received by telegraph from 8t. Jonna, N. F., after the arrival of the Circassian from Galway, was published in yesterday morning's Heraip. Our files by the Africa, however, contain very interesting extracts relative to the war crisis in Burope. Austria had officially replied to both France and England on their propositions for the Peace Congress. Her interpretation of the points of bases for discussion differs widely from that of the British Cabinet. Napoleon’s armaments had really alarmed all the Powers, except Russia, whether active or neutral. It was conceded in London that Russia could control the crisis by de claring in the Congress against the Power which unnecessarily precipitated a war. This was an English opinion, put forward in connection with the Czar's new Joan. Madame Bosio died in St. Petersburg on the 12th inst., and Lady Morgan is also dead. ‘ We have Havana dates to the 25th inst., two day later, but there is uo news of importance. Our Correspondent remarks that Holy Week passed With lees assassinations than usual, but five being reportod. . News from Monrovia to the 16th ult. has been received. It was brought by the brig E. N. Roge, the firat vessel belonging to Liberian merchants that has arrived at this port. Dr. Forney, the American Commercial Agent, died at Monrovia on the 9th of February. The letter of our corres- pondent, published ia another column, contains the details of the news. By the arrival of the British schooner Charlotte Minerva we have files of papers from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 15th inst. The mining news is fa- vorable. The provision traders found inconvenience from the interpretation given by the customs offi- cers to the word “ flour,” as it appears in the new tchedale of duties. The officials intended to levy the additional duty of two English shillings laid on flour upon wheat flour, rye flour and corn meal. The Nousuch estate in St. Marys, with one hundred head of stock and 150 acres in canes, together with Unity and Crawl Pen, adjoining, consisting altogether of 2,400 acres of land, wore sold for the Bum of $20,000. His Excellency the Governor has recognized Don Bruno Badan provisionally a3 Vice Consul for Spain at Kingston. We have files from Bermuda to the 19th instant. ‘The British flag ship Indns arrived there from Ha- vana on the 16th, with Admiral Stewart on board. ‘The Admiral had been waiting at Havana for the ar- rival of the Mexican mail steamer, but she had not reached that port when he left. One hundred and fifty-six convicts, whose time of penal servitude was about to expire, had been shipped to England in the bark W. H. Chandler. The British war stea- mer Styx was in port, also the Terror, and the gunboats Onyx and Nettle. Senor Mata, the pew Mexican Minister, was yes. terday formally received by the President in his official charac’ The addresa of the Minister and the response of the President on the occasion may be found in our special despatch from Washington. The celebration of the completion of the new water works by the citizens of Brookign yester- day proved a magnificent affair. The procession was over five miles in length, reaching from one end of the city to the other. Everything passed off io a quiet and orderly manner, and to the entire fativfaction of all concerned. Fora report of the proceedings, including a graphic account of the procession and the scenes at the triumphal arch and in front of the City Hall, we refer our readers 10 another page of to-day’s paper. There was no quorum of the Board of Aldermen last evening, most of the members being in Brook- lyn attending the water celebration. The Board ‘will meet on Monday next. The Quaranti nd Sanitary Convention met yesterday in the College of Physicians and Sur- geons, and consumed the whole of the day in dix oussing the reports of the committees, an absiact of which appeared in the Henatp on Wednesday At the evening session speeches were made by General Wetmore, of New York, and Dr. Kemp, of Baltimore, on the sanitary condition of those after which the Convention adjourned till this morning, when final action will be taken on the Feporte, The Convention havo accepted an iny tation of the Common Council to a public dinner at fe Metropolitan Hotel this evening. An interesting and eloquent address, in the Talla 1 language, on the present condition of Italy, was delivered lust evening by Signor Guglieline Gajani, at the Cooper Institute, before a very respectable and attentive audience. The lecturer ably dealt with the question he proposed to discuss, He showed that the Italians were no! able to conquer the opposition of all Europe, but they would trouble the peace of Europe till their independence be re- cognised. He had no faith in Louis Napoleon, nor did he believe in his pretensions. It was the in- terest of France to keep Italy divided into indo. pendent States, and Louis Napoleon will never allow Ttaly to be free. The loctarer then mado Lome oleqnent reflections on the threnten! iS state 7 TU n Mee REE NNN eee? of affatrs in Europe, observing that Italy oould only be made free by the blood of her martyrs. The oration was frequently interrupted by cheers, and he concluded his fervid address amidst the most rapturous applause. ‘The receipts of beef cattle Juring the past week amounted to 8,316 head, an increase of 799 head as compared with the receipts of the week previous. The quality of the cattle was rather below the ave- rage, and this fact, together with the large supply, caused a decline in prices of fully half a cent per pound on all good qualities, while the average de- cline was greater, S$c. a 11}c. being the extreme rates. Cows and calves were in moderate demand at the usual rates, $20 a $60, according to quality. The receipts of veal calves have been heavy for the past few weeks. Inferior and common sold at 30. and 4¢., while good and first quality broug ‘6}c.and 6}c per pound. The demand for sheep and jambs was moderately active at $3 50a $750. The demand for swine was fair, with a slight improvement in prices. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced abou’ 1,20 bales. T © market continued to be unpottied, and closed at about 120. for middling uplands from storo; still there did not appear to be apy great proseure to sell. Daring *Change the Africa was appounced as coming up the bay, and though ber dates were no later, yet the details of her bows and private letters wore looked for with much {a- terest, and no salcs of cotton of moment were subse- quently made. With the absoneo of war in Europe this prom‘ses to be, tothe end of it, one of the most pros- perous cotton years ever known in this country. The re- ceipte at the ports havo already reached about 3,400,009 bales, aud many well informed persons estimate that before the Ist of September, the close of the cot- ton year, the receipis will reach 300,000 moro, giving the total crop of 1858-69 at 3,700,000 bales, Of this amount wo have exported about 2,220,000, The ave- rago price has been, 60 far at Teast, about 12 cents per sound, and this price will doubtices, under the perpetua- Won of peace, be maintained to the evd of the seagon. Betimatiog the weight of the bales at 450 Ibe, cach, woall give $64 60 per bale, or for the whole crop of 3,709,000 bales, a total value of $202,020,000.

The firmness of holders, and especially for good lots of wheat, checked ales, which were light. In corm sales were compara- tively light, Including Jersey and Southern yellow at 89c. a 87c. and Western mixéd at 82c. Pork was dull and lowor, especially for new moas, but active both for im- meciate and fature delivery. On tho spot it sold at $26 50, with prime at $1275. Prime megs, suitable for export, and clear mess, were better sustained. Sugars were firmer, and Cuba refining goods advanced about 3c. since Tuesday. The sales embraced about 1,000 hhds. Cubas and 100 do. New Orleans at rates given in another column. Coffee was firm, The chict eales consisted of about 1,100 bags of Rio at full prices. Frelghta were steady, with fair engagements to English ports, while shipments to the Continent wero light. The Virginia Contest=The Opposition and the Nigger Agitation. When the new opposition party of Virginia, some weeks ago, took the field, we gave it a libe ral support, under the impression that it was but the beginning of a new and powerful organiza- tion which, upon broad national and constitu tional groungs, would hold the balance of power in 1860, and save the country, between the two great sectional parties of the day. But, alas! this promising conservative party has rapidly de- teriorated into a mere nigger agitating faction, out Heroding Herod in its supreme devotion to Southern rights, Southern institutions, Southern siggers and Southern slavery. Thus this new party has already ceased to be available as the nucleus of a great national organization, in be- ing reduced to a single sectional issue, and thus the result of this Virginia contest, in a broad na- tional view—whether Letcher or Goggin shall be elected Governor—becomes a matter of little or no consequence. The all-abeorbing issue with this Virginia op- position party is the alleged abolitionism of John Letcber. For example, the leading editorial of the Richmond Whig of Wednesday last, under the head of “The Emancipation Democracy in a Strait,” exults over the idea that the Virginia democracy are played out on the slavery agita- tion; that “the charge of abolitionism is now re- torted with overwhelming force and effvct upon themeclves,” and that “here, at least, is one vast benefit resulting (to the opposition) from the nomination of John Letcher.” And wherefore ? Some ten or twelve years ago Mr. Letcher was one of a number of gentlemen who endorsed and asked for publication a certain lecture of acertain Mr. Raffner, advocating the policy of the gradual abolition of slavery in Western Virginia (the mountainous division of the State), and its erection into 9 separate State, and a free State at that This is the cause of all this hue and cry of this new Virginia opposition party to the election of Letcher. They denounce him as an abolitionist, an emancipationist, faithless and unreliable on theslavery question, and they are thus moving heaven and earth to save the Old Dominion from an abolition Governor. Meantime, Mr. Letcher bas confessed his error in regard to that Ruffner pamphlet. He no longer believes slavery to be “a moral, social and political evil,” but a very good and excellent thing, morally, socially and politically. The democracy are satisfied with this recantation, but the opposition hold him tothe Ruffaer pamphlet, and to that pampblet the contest in question has been sub- stantially reduced. Says the Richmond Whig, “in ail previous political contests these crafty spoils- men (the democracy) have had it in their power to bosst of their candidate’s spotless record on the subject of slavery, while they had some pretext, at least, for assailing the whig candidate. But the tables are now turned on them, and they know not what to do.” Here, then, is the sum and substance of this Virginia opposition movement—a vain attempt to cut under and cut out the democracy on the nigger question. We are thus taught that the slavery iseue overrules ond overrides ali other issues in the South, and that the opposition in Virginia, from jfheer necessity, have thus been driven to this foolish experiment of outshouting the demo- cracy as the defenders of slavery. In Kentucky and Tennessee they are pursuing a bolder and broader Ine of policy upon the great practical iecues of the times, and yet the shaping of this Virginia canvaes is euggestive of anything but Qn oppotition revolution, either thero or clse Where, in the South. Make the slavery agita- tion the paramount question where the pro-sla- very democracy hold the ground, and they will continue to hold It. In the meantime another epoch of financial and commercial prosperity has sot in, which will soon render the federal administration invulac- rable to the aesaults of the opposition, The South is damocratic; and with the retarn of bet- ter times, good crops, good prices, plenty of moncy and plenty of business, the people of the Sonth, at least, will be satisfled with the party in power. Thus, the prospect of any positive opposition reaction in the Southern States will become more and moro shadowy as the influences | Of this commercial and financial reaction are more and more widely diffused. And thus, not 1 ¢ auth, nb ia the North, the prospegt | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIT, 29, 1850, a : - of a geveral fusion of the democracy upon the common basis of the administration will beoon more apd more encouraging. Meantime, ag this Virginia contest has dege- nérated into a paltry coutroversy upon the autt slavery anteccdents of Letcher aud tuo aatt-sle vesy sffil'ations of Goggin, we caa ecarcely ex- pect any revolution in tbat quarter. The Hon, William C. Rives, a distingulehed conservative Virginia statesman of former times, is appoiated to deliver a discourse on political affairs at Rich- mond, and perhaps he may seize tho occasiua to portray to the conservative opposition cle ments of Virginia a broader and better pro- gramme than Jobn Letober’s endoraemcat of the Roffuer abolition pamphlet of 1847, Let us wait and hear what Mr. Rives has to say. ‘The Water Celebration in Brooklyn. Yesterday was a great day in the City of Churches. The rejoicings consequent upon the introduction of the Nassau water furnished ite usually placid inhabitants with the opportunity for a sensation, and, to do them justice, they made the most of it. It isso seldom that any- thing ocours to ripple the even current of their existence, that the enthasiasm which they ex- hibited on this occasion was quite remarkable. We have, therefore, in order to furnish mate- rials for a future history of popular excitements in Brcoklyn, taken particular pains to place upon record all the sayings and doings con. nected with this memorable event, Leaving to our reporters the task of enlargiog upon the glories of the celebration—which of course embraced the usual features of a military and civic procession, speech making, fireworks and illuminationg—we shall content our- selves with congratulating the Brooklyn people on the victory which they have “achieved in the construction of their present water works. But for the obstructions thrown in their way by parties who sought to turn their necessities to their own profit, they might bave been long since in the enjoyment of them. If the acquisition has been long deferred, however, it will be appreciated with a keener relish, and the excitement of yesterday shows that our neighbors are fully alive to its impor- tance. It is certain that nothing will contribute more to the rapid growth of their city than this event, for it was the absence of a plentifal sup- ply of pure water which formed the main objec- tion to it as a place of residence, When we recollect -how comparatively short a time has clapeed since the construction of the Fairmount water works in Philadelphia set the fret example of a general water supply to our large cities, we bave reason to be proud of the progress made in this respect throughout the Union. Although in the Fairmount works the distance which the water had to be conveyed was trifling, and the engineering difficulties easily overcome, the project was at the time one which had its skeptics and opponents. Since then how great an advance haa been made, not only in the spirit of enterpriee amongst our peo- ple, but in the appreciation of those com- forts and luxuries which keep the iatel- lects of men ever busy to forestall them Like the Romans, we now think no distance too great, no expenditure too heavy, to secure to us the inestimable blessing of an abua- gut supply of wholesome water. In the Croton water works we have shown that where there is the spirit to overcome difficulties, there can be no real obstacles to its acquisition, The cost of euch an undertaking is necessarily enormous; but who now-a-days thinks of balancing the pre- sent coat of snch a work against the economy of health and comfort which it effects. A quarter of a century ago these sanitary consideration: exercised but little weight; now they are begin- ning to be properly appreciated. People no longer grumble at taxation when they feel satis- fied that it is to be expended for purposes which are essential to the moral and physical health of the community of which they form part. Where such a sentiment as this exists, a pub- lic necetsity will no sooner be felt than steps will be taken to meet it. Such of our cities as have not as yet followed our example ia regard to a general water supply aro preparing to do so at the earliest opportunity. Thus Yankee enter- price will in the next dozen years have done more in this respect for the health and comfort of its population than Paris and other leading cities ofthe Old World have succeeded in doing with an unlimited power of taxation anda longer ex- perience at their command. RecErTION or THE New Mexican Moster.— Yesterday the President received officially Senor Don J. M. Mata; as Ministor Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary for the United States of Mexico near our government. Senor Mata is the worthy representative of the liberal goverment of President Juarez, and will find a genial sphere for his diplomatic labors in Washington. For several years past he has been distinguished among the liberal leaders in Mexico for his energy and ability, both in the field and on the floor of Congress, He was one of the earliest supporters of the Plan of Ayutla, the liberal movement in 1854 against Santa Anna, and par- ticipated in all the labors and dangers of that campaign until the Dictator was forced to fice. When tho constituent Congress after- wards assembled to prepare a constitation for the country, Senor Mata was the leader of the advanced liberal party, and the chief. supporter of the religious toleration clause, which was coatied against him by 9 very emall vote, through the exertions of the ministers of President Comonfort. His personal relations with the pre- sent government of Mexico are of the most inti- mate character, he haying been the confidential agent in this country of President Jaarez for a yeer past, and being the son-in-law of Senor Ocampo, the present Secretary of State in Mexico. In view of the personal character, the political convictions, and the public and private relations of Senor Mata.in Mexico, there isevery Teneon to believe that his official labors at Wash- ington will redound to the permanent advan- tage of both republica, Mrasyess or Rartwar’ Maxacement.—We den’t know that it would have been such a bad idea, after all, If the Legislature had passed the batch of city railroad bills which were killed ate in the seesion. The abusce of passengers in some of the old lines can only bo remedied by competition.

The American government aad people bave regarded with deep interest the civil war which has existed im Mexico since January, 1858, between the sup- porters and opponenta of the conptitution of February, 1867. Although our warmest sympathies have from the beginning been enlisted in favor of the cause of conatilu- tional liberty, yotin obedience to our estaolished po we refrained from recognizing the government of Preai- dent Juarez aa the reprosentative of that cause until we bad received reliable information that it bad bocn es- poused by at least sixteen of the twenty-one Mexican States, with an almost certain prospect that it would oventually triumph. It is propitious omon for the fu- ture of Mexico that a military rovolution at the capital against the present constitution bas not been foliowed, ag on former occasions, by & submission of the whole coua- uy. On the cortrary, the people bave manifested a firm and persistent purpose to sustain President Juarez, upon whom the executive authority dovolved, undor the consti- tution, in January, 1858, afier the flight of Comonfort and the seizure of dictatorial power by Zuloaga. In declaring to you, sir, that I entertain the warmest wishes for the welfaro of Mexico, under a stable government, capable of maintaining liberty and law, I know I am but echoiog the eentiments of the American people, We are nelgh- bors, and we ought to bo friends, and it te the interest of both to establish the most liberal commercial relations with each other.
