New York, Sunday, May 1, 1859 The News. By the overland mail we have accounts from San n e Sth ult., three days later than the A large number of vessels li neluding the Andrew Jack- fon, Comet, Gosport, Anna Kimball, Nonpareil, Moonlight and Crest of the Wave, from New York; the Buena Vista, from Baltimore, and the Midnight, from Boston—adding to the already heavy accuma- Lations of merchandise, and causing a still further decline in prices. One of the arrivals reports pass- ing a ship, supposed to be the Manitou, from New York for California, on fire, in the Atlantic, in lati- tude 14, longitude 35—no_date given. As several Wessels were near it is believed her crew was faved. The United States schooner Fenimore Coo- per has discovered and taken pos ion of several rich guano islands recently discovered to the north- ward of the Sandwich Islands. The steamship Northern Light, which left Aspin- wall on the 2Ist ult., reached this port yesterday morning, bringing hundred and seventy-five from California, and later news from nada and the ports of the South Pacific. A serious riot occurred at Panama between the white and black nati m Palm Sunday, on the beach, at the moment when a religions procession ‘was about to enter the church of San Felipe. Three Persons were seriously wounded, snd the alarm having spread, the precession broke up in the Greatest disorder. The troops were called out, nnd having quieted the city they proceeded to the Plaza Santana in order to disperse a tumultuous assembly of armed blacks. When within hailing distance the er fired on the soldiers, killing Colonel the commander, and one of his men. The soldiers then retired to the city, and @ brisk fire was kept up during the night be- tween the combatants. There was no other person injured, however. The American Consul ignalled to the United States ships in the Larbor, and twenty armed boats from the Merrimac, Saranec and St. Marys put off to lay nearshore. A partial landing was made through mnistake. Great excitement prevailed in Panama on the 17th, 18th and 19th ult.,and many arrests were made. The United States ship Vandalia had arrived from Realejo. Four thousand Ameri- an passengers crossed over the Panama Railroad during a fortnight. Our advices from the South Pacific are dated at Valparaiso the 1st,Coquimbo the 2d, Caldera the $d, and Callao the 12th ult. A strong military force was ordered to Coquimbo to attack the vic- torious insurgents. The political prisoners lately exiled to Magellan revolted, and the captain was forced to take them to Callao. The British steamer Prince of Wales, bound from Acund, Chile, to Pa- erto Muratt, was lost near the former place. Capt. Msrael Nye had sold his steamtug to the Chilean government for $75,000, having previously realized targely from it by government charters. An in- tended Echenique revolution in Peru had been sup- pressed at Iquipue. Flour remained unchanged in price in Valparaiso. Our Havana correspondents, writing on the 25th ult., state that there was not the slightest chance of any revelulionary movement taking place on the island. The creoles could not meet in avy number or communicate with American filibusters without the knowledge of the police. It is said that the filibuster leaders who visit the harbor of Havana on board the United States mail steamships will find No protection from our flag if proved to be engaged in cireulating incendiary printed matter, of which they are suspected at present. A Spanish war steamer had been sent to Honduras, and forcibly brought away the brig Franco, detained at Omoa for 4 breach of the custom house rules. Some fires had occurred in the cane fields near Sagua la Grande. The health of Havana was good, but bust | mers was not yet resumed. We learn from Bermuda that the Hon. Robert Kennedy, for fifty years Colonial Secretary there, had retired from office ona pension of $4,160 per annum. Mr. Gerald Keon was his successor, Commander Frankland was appointed Comptroller of the convict establishment. A con’ named Lockwood had killed another named Corcoran, at | Sreland Island. | The National Quarantine and Sanitary Conven- tion, which has been in session in this city for sey- eral days past, concluded its deliberations and finally adjourned yesterday. A report of the pro- ceedings may be found in another column. The next convention will be held in Boston in Fune of next year. According to the report of the City Inspector Zhere were 366 deaths in the city during the past week—a decrease of 39 as compared with the mortal- ity of the week previous, and 40 less than occurred | n the corresponding week of last | whole number 205 were of ten years of age and | under, and 51 inmates of the various public insti- | tations.

Holders were not pressing sales, being disposed to await the receipt of more decisive news regarding the prospects of peace or war in Europe before doing much. The next stenmer may possibly bring something more definite one way or the other. A telegraphic despatch to a house in this city, received yesterday from New Orleans, stated that the receipts ot the week were only about 12,560 bales against 24,000 for the same period last year. There was algo @ failing off at Mobile. The transactions in flour were checked so far as the better class of brands was concerned, by tho firmness of holders, while inferior grados were unchanged and rather heayy. Wheat was firmer and more active; mixed Southorn sold at $1 47, fair white at $1 63, Milwaukie club at $1 17, and red Western at $1 46.031 50, Corn was rmor and more active, closing at full prices, Pork rallied a lttle, and closed with more buoyancy ; new mess sold at $16 25a $16 40, and thin mess at $16 a $16 59, prime mess at $15 75 @ $16 50, clear at $19 50, and prime at $12 60 a $12 75. Sugars wero quiet; the sales were confined to about 400 hhds. at un- changed prices. The stock embraces 54,461 bhda, and 18,605 boxes, 245 bbds. melado and 20,260 bags. Coffee m, but sales were limited. 100 bage Jamaica wore sold at lie. Tho stock of Rio was only 7,800 bags, and the total of sll kinds embraced 24,087 bags and 43,922 mats. Freight engagements were limited, and rates with- out change of moment. 452 407 A few days since we drew atteation to the facilities offered for the transportation of passen- gers and freight to remote points of the Union by the establishment of offices in New York representing conjointly the interests of the prin- cipal railroads and of those connecting with them. We pointed out the advantages likely to result to the trade of the metropolis from this arrangement ; but there is another consideration which it suggests, which merits some special reflections. It is evident, from the tendency which is being exhibited by all our principal railroad and steam- boat lines to converge to New York as acom mon centre, tbat this city is destined to be not only the great distributing focus of the Union, but of the continent generally. What it may eventually become as an aggregate of popula- tion, extended as it. will be by this enormous traffic, it is impossible to predict. It is certain that in the history of the world there has been no parallel to the favorable circumstances of de- velopement in which it is placed. In proof of this assertion let us just take a railroad map, and examine how far our nataral position has been improved by the extension of our network of internal lines of communication. Our progress in this respect, and its bearing upon our local interests, are so little noted, that unlees this is done many will not be ia a condi- tion to appreciate their future results. Taking first a general view of the bearings of our rail road system, it will be seen that the Northern and Eastern roads, as a moans of conveyance for manufactured goods, are supply roads to New York. The lines running West and Southwest from here are distributing roads, supplying traders along their routes with imported goods and at the same time bringing back agricultural produce. All the Atlantic termini of the Southern railroads are connected by steamship lines with New York, conveying manufactured goods in small packages, but doing the bulk of their heavy trade by coasting vessels. Entering more into detail, we find that the Northern routes consist of three lines, joint rail and water, and one through railroad (the New Haven), connecting with Boston and all the New England lines, and through them with Quebec and Montreal. Next there is the Hudson River Railroad, running to Albany and Troy, and from thence continued on by another line to Ogdensburg and Montreal. The Western routes resolve themselves into four great iron ar- teries—the New York Central, connected with the metropolis by the Hudson River Railroad; the Erie Railroad; the Pennsylvania Central, connected with New York by the East Pennsyl- vania line; and the Baltimore and Ohio Central, connected with it both by rail and water com- | munication. These four routes ramify into in- numerable branches all through the Western and Northwestern States, extending to 250 miles beyond the Mississippi, where they are continually pushing forward their iron antenne towards the setting sun. Competing with these lines we have the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, which connects with our New York State rail- roads at several points, running thence to De- troit, and connecting with the Western system of branches. The Southern routes are—first, th Virginia roads, pushing from the water line of the Poto- mac, in the James river, to the Southwest, and | connected with New York by a line of seagoing steamers. The line of communication between Memphis and City Point, in James's river, will soon be completed. From Memphis the rail- way communication is already perfect through Tennessee, Northern Alabama, and acroas Georgia and South Carolina to Sayannah and Charleston, from which point lines of steamers connect with New York. The New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, with its continuations, when completed to connect with the Tennessee system of railways, will bring New York within three days mail communication of New Orleans, Be- sides the facilities that will be afforded by these Toutes, it may be assumed as certain that no rail- | Way can be built to any point on the Atlantic coast without its being immediately placed in connection with New York by lines of steamers, We donot think it necessary to enumerate the various railway and canal projects which are ncontemplation in Central and South America, Theee, whenever they are executed, mast all obey the same law of convergence which necessi- tates a direct connection by steamers with New York. Tt will be seen from this brief survey of our railway system, that our metropolis alroad iy ; forms the heart of its operations, and that every 23 | addition that is made to it in future must take this direction, Of the immense wealth and influ- ence which this command of all the lines of internal communication will give us in Course of time, but little idea can as yet he formed. None of the great commercial ceutres of the Old World have ever held a nos!- | NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 1859. ton analogous to it, ‘They have all uae: pendeut on a olroumsoribed range of clim- and products, whilst we count within the limits of our territ ries every variety of both. The facilit ¢s of ‘ran’ portation which modern sclenoe has pi: ced within their reach might have enabled the comm: re.al cities at the other aide to over- come this d'saivantage by a system of liberal commercial exchanges; but the stupid restrictions imposed by the different governments on trade have cond:mne} them to a stationary condition. Even in E: glan, where more enlightened prin- iples preva ', there can be no’ beyond acertain point. Her soil is too limited and her colonies too remote to place her in a position to monopolize permanently the trade of the Euro- pean continent, Re In saying that in the coursd of another half century New York will be the est and most populous city on the globe, it may be thought that we are using the language of exaggeration. It is impossible, however, to note her position as the centre and the key to the vast system of railroad and water lines by which our continent is being intersected without arriving at that con- clusion. The Argentine Republic and Its Hospttall- tes. A few days sgo we published an interesting and graphic correspondence from Concepcion, on tne Uruguay river, giving an agpount of the hos- pitalities of the President of thé Argentine Cov- federation to Commissioner Bowlin and the Ad- mira! and officers of the Paraguay expedition. This reception is worthy of some editorial notice, whether we regard it in a political point of view or as a phase of social life in a sister republic in the extreme south of this continent—a republic formed afier the model of our own, and appre- clating our democratic liberty in a higher dogvee than any of the other South American republics. The good offices of its President, Urq.iza, in bringing about peace between this country and the President of Paraguay, without the shedding of blood, are deserving of grateful remembrance. Is is tine that unless the front of war was brought home to Lopez we would have had no peace, yet the mediation of the President of the Confederation was not the less praiseworthy and important. The moral and polit’cal e%ec! in bringing Lopez to his senses without actually striking the uplifted blow will be equally felt as if the cities of Paraguay had been desolated by by our shells; and there is this advantage, that no sting of bumiliation is left behind in the heart® of the people, as was the case in our war with Mexico. Peace was conquered by the terror of the sword rather than by the sword itself, which, in this inetance was only used to cut the eagle’s quill in‘o a pen of diplomecy. There was thus nothin left to prevent the po- litical and naval commanders of the expedition from enjoying themselves, and they accepted the cordial invitation of Urquiza, whose magnificent hospitality and entertainments remind us of the tournaments of the middle ages—imitated a few years ago by the Earl of Eglington, in Scot- land—or of ‘he more recent revels of Kenil- worth Castle (the scene of one of Sir Walter Scott's romances), at which the Larl of Leicester entertained Queen * Elizabeth for seventeen days in a style of extraordinary maguificence. The entertainments given at his residence in San Jose by Urquiza, in fraterniza- tion with his North American brothers, eclipse in brilliancy and interest the revels of Kenilworth On the arrival of the guests the sound of trum pets, the presenting of arms and the music of bands saluted their ears as they passed through a long line of soldiers, cavairy and artillery assembled todo them honor. A, body guard of two thousand troops surrounded them. The dis- play of lights, the elegance, the cost, the taste of all that they saw, the brilliancy of every object, the spaciousness and grandeur of the pa- lace, took them by surprise and dazzled their imaginations. The almost “barbaric profusion” of the table, coupled with a hospitality and sim- plicity on the part of the host which put them infinitely at their case—his house, to use his own phrase, being “placed at their disposition.” And even his very wife ministered to the plea sure of the guests, for we are told she danced with the Commissioner and Commander Dray- ton—“an honor Urquiza permitted her to confer upon no one since her marriage till that occa- sion.” Then the tournament, for which a thou- sand head of cattle had been selected, was splen- did beyond description. The rapturous admi- ration of our correspondent in witnessing the feats of the Argentines knows no bounds. He says “the written accounts, which have hitherto afforded so much interest, but faintly depict the scene. The pen is but weak to describe the South American horseman. It is a pictare for the most vigorous and imaginative pencil— full of action and a poetry that is fascinating.” The tournament, in fact, exhibited “the most superb riding of which man and horse are capa- ble.” The cavalry officers rode at a ‘seal-ring with « short lance, and at full speed carried it off with a precision that was truly triumphal. In the breaking of wild horses feats of horse- manehip were displayed such as are seldom wit- nessed—in half an hour the wildest animals the world could produce were completely sub- dued. We have recently read in the newspapers that the King of Greece has revived the Olympic games, and we need not say that in England and in this country the pugilistic combat, styled “the manly art of self-defence,” is in high favor with large multitude. We think, in Point of refine- ment, and even on the score of uttlity, the sports in the South American republic have the advan- tage both over the remnants of our Anglo-Saxon savagery copied from the ancient Romans, and over the revived Olympic games, restored by Otho and the modera Greeks. There are many things in which we boastful Anglo-Saxons are inferior to other races. In the gentlemanly and dashing art of horsemanship it ie evident that the Spanish-American far outstrips the Anglo- American, * In the ball room the entertainment was equally Gclightful. The President’s wife is a woman of magnificent phyvigve and full of fire. All the Spanish-American women are described as splendid—their “black eyes shooting confident glances among our officers, and shedding their lustre from beneath long dark lashes that some meu would travel 9,560 miles to gee!” Many, no doubt, lost their hearte. All was case and freedom, and everything was done to gratify the guests, It is related of Urquiza, in illustration of bis energy, that after all the excitement Was over, at one o'clock in the morning, hé threw off bis cravat, called for his slip- Pere, and proceeded to transact basiness, Iiis appreciation of our institutions end his friendship were expressed by having the Ameri- can eagle in all its glory Painted on the panels in the diaing ball opposite the arms of the Ar- grntne Confideration, and also in his admirable speech, in which he says bie oountay will throw crelf’ henceforth even more trastingly, as a polic@el godobild, into the arms of the great Aucrican "tion, To the immortal Washington, he coutiaued, Che Argentines owed the inspira- tion of the great events which had made them free, aud “his life was their political gospel.” How touching and how beautiful! This casts Commissioner Bowlin’s speech completely into the shade. Nor was it mere idle talk. Our correspondent from Asuncion says the friendship of Urquiza was evinced in a substantial manner; he was the means of procuring from Lopez the, new and rare privileges obtained in the recent treaty, of which liberality he had previously set the example himself, This good fellowship will induce large emigra- tion from the United States, The climate is fine, the soil is fertile, and the country abounds with resources undeveloped. Agriculture and manu- Jactures of every description are very backward; cattle are the chief wealth. The products are cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar, cocoa and tea (the yerba). Coal is found in abundance, and ostrich feathers and hides are among the exports, Thus is the way opened for enterprising Yankees to trade and grow rich in the Argentine republic, a democratic confederation like our own, with thirteen original States and a large territory of unappropriated, excellent land. s Hoy. Wiisam OC, Rives Comme Our on THE Porrican Issues or THE Day.—Hon. William C. Rives, of Virginia, it has been announced, will, before the expiration of the present week, deliver at Richmond a discourse on the political affairs of the day. From the high talents, ac- complishments and great practical experience of Mr. Rives in our political affairs, we may expect from him a rare treat. We remember him as a brilliant, polished, popular and promising speaker in the federal House of Representatives more than thirty years ago. Next he was appointed by Gen. Jackson Minister to France. Next we find him, in 1832, a member of the United States Senate from Virginia, and a Senator from that time, off and op, till 1845. Under Van Buren’s administration Mr. Rives was conspicuous among that notable band of “conservatives” who rebelled against the Sub-Treasury policy of the President. That policy, however, being carried out as a democratic measure, Mr. Rives and his couservative bolters found refuge in the whig party, and contributed, in 1840, nota little to the election of Gen. Harrison. In 1841 (Vice President Tyler having been promoted to the Presidency, from the death of Gen Harrison), Mr. Rives distinguished himself in the Senate in the defence of Tyler’s vetoes of the bank bills of Mr. Clay, and came off with | bigh credit from bis memorable disgyssion gn that occasion with the great Senator from Kentucky. At the same time Henry A. Wise, Caleb Cushing, and two or three other whigs- of the House also sustained those vetoes of Tyler > and hence the name of “the corporal’s guard” given by Mr. Clay to this de- tachment of bolting whigs. From that contest Mr. Wise and Mr. Cushing having sagaciously travelled over into the democratic camp, have not been forgotten in the division of the honors ‘and epoils of the party. But Mr. Rives, having stood off in an independent attitude, has re- mained since that contest more a spectator of than a participant in the gladiatorial combats of our political parties. : A specch, therefore, from Mr. Rives, at the present day, will be almost as speech fram ono of tat via scnvdl of Southern conservative statesmen of twenty years ago raised from the dead. We await its delivery with much interest, in the hope that, from the advantages which Mr. Rives has possessed as a dispassionate witness of the political events of the gountry since his re- tirement from public life, he will be competent to show, and will develope to the conservative opposition masses of the South, a broad, compre- hensive national programme, upon which they may everywhere combine and command the balance of power, even in the North. The op- portunity is an inviting one, and, if judiciously appropriated, it may result in bringing forward Mr. Rives conspicuously before the country as an available constitutional and Union candidate for the succession. Let us wait the delivery of the speech, Arcusisnor Hugues axp His Reseniovs Cixrey.—Two of Archbishop Hughes’ clergy have raised the standard of revolt against his authority ; and, instead of appealing to the Pope, if they feel aggrieved, they are writing vituperative letters in the newspapers against him, which are calculated to bring scandal on the cause of religion and to do no good to them- selves. In euch a conflict as this it is inevitable that they must come off second best. Besides, the Archbishop is in the right all through, and the action taken by the two priests is mere schism. Archbishop Hughes could have no per- sonal interest or feeling in the matter—his aim was to maintain the purity of the church by en- forcing its discipline; and, without this, no ecclesiastical body can long hold together. Discipline in all spiritual and political bodies, and even in the counting house and in the family, is absolutely neceseary to success. What do these priests propose to themselves? Do they imagine that they can overthrow the authority of the Bishop? It is downright nonsense to think so. They say they will live and die good Catholics. Of this we have great doubt. We fear they are not good Catholics even now, else they would “obey those who haye the rule over them.” We think they are on the high road to Protestantism, which is split into fanumerable sects, in many of which every man interprets the Bible for himeelf, and does that which seems right in his own eyes. But among the Pro- testant sects those that are most successful are most rigid in maintaining discipline. The very foundation of the Catholic Church is autho- tity which must not be questioned. Believe in the authority, and implicit obedience follows. Everything else is easy. Fathers Dayman and Camps appear to be setting up their own “ pri- vate judgment’’ against constituted authority, and protesting against it. This is the very essence of Protestantism, and is exactly the course Martin Luther and John Oalyin followed, Who knows but we may have a new Luther and a new Calvin in Dayman and Camps? * We perceive that an address, purporting to be signed by “Many Catholics of Detroit,” gives comfort to these rebellious priests, and encou- rages the idea of “an independeut Presbytery against an arbitrary Episcopate.” “hat is new- fangled doctrine for Catholics—the privsts to be independent of the authority of their bishops! Why, the thing is absurd. The very nature of the authority necessarily makes it arbitrary; it is like the authority of the parent over the chit the authority of the commanding oficor over subordinate efficers on the field of battle. The only eafety for these reverend gentlémen is to submit at once, unconditionally, to the bishop, and to gon: bigh mass to St, Patriok’s Catho- ral, wearing gaokoloth and ashes, or a white sheet, and there and then make the amende hono- rable before all the people—a full and complete Confession of their disobedience to the head . of the church in the diocess of New York. L«, oe do this and they may be forgiven; if not, m serpents cn A Forsroner’s View or Brack Rervpiican- 18M.—We publish, in our columns to-day, a com- maunication giving « curious view of the policy and aims of the black republican party, and of its results to the country if carried out. It is instructive to contemplate the effect which our local politics have on the minds of enlightened foreigners who visit our country and study its institutions and their workings. Every one has sympathieed with the wish of Burns:— O, wad some power the giftic gie’ us Shoes cute ne taere eae And this is precisely what the communication referred to does. Our foreign traveller finds the black republicans as being identical in their principles with the communists and socialists of France; and, indeed, he is not wrong. The followers of Scward’s “bloody-and brutal” mani- feato at Rochester may as well hoist the red flag and don the bloody cap at once. AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON, The Recent Outrages Upon American Citizens in Chile=the Claims against Paraguay—the Herald and the Next Presidential Can- vass—Quarautine Arrangements for New York Harbor, &. OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. Wasuinarox, April 30, 1859. Deepatches received from Chile contain full particulars of the recent occurrences there, and the alieged violence done our Consul at Valparaiso, as well as the alleged out- rages and unfriendly conduct generally towards American citizens, Tho Secretary of State is now engaged upon an inves- tigation of the facts presented, and it is found our rights have been infringed upon. Fall satisfaction will be re- quired. It is proper to remark that {! is by ho means certain that the conduct of the Consul will be approved. Degpatches received by Navy Department from Paraguay bey been placed in General Cass’ hands, who ‘Will be prepared, upon Commigsionor Bowlin’s arrival, to recommend the adoption of auch stops for the adjustment of claims, &c., as will facilitate a epecty sottlermont, The programme published in the Hexaxp as to the movements on foot to harmonize action amongst the democracy at the next Presidential Convention, meets with general fayor here. Juége Douglas aud bis truo friends are in favor of it, and there is little doubt but that all sections of the party will harmonize in time to make a strong fight for the public plunder. Governor Seymour, of New York, is hero for the pur- pose of conferring with the government upon the subjecy of Quarantine. It is understood the Navy Department is Cisposod to facilitate the action of the New York Quaran- tine Commissioners, ebould they desire it, by lending one Of the“! jine.of-battle ships for a floating hospital in the harbor of New rork. ‘THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH. Wasnrwatom, April 30, 1859, Dr. Forney, Superintendent of Indian Atairs for Utah writes to the Indian Bureau, under date of March 18, that he is in possession of such reiiabléWformation as leaves no doubt of tho complicity of the Mormons in the Mountain Meadow maseacre, and that after which there was dis- tributed among tho leading church dignitaries thirty dollars worth of property.

Arrival of the Overland Fleet of Clippers Arrived Out=—Ship Manitou Burnt at Sca—Markets Dull, dc. £r, Louis, April 30, 1859, The California overtand mail arrived in this city last evening, bringing San Francisco dates of the 8th inst. General news quite meager and unimportant. The mar- keta of San Francisco were glutted with goods, owing to the large number of ships which had arrived withm the week, and prices continued to decline. Advices from the Sandwich Islands state that the vol- canoes of Mouna Loa continued very active. Sevoral rich guano islahds have been discovered north- west of the Sandwich Islands, and possession taken of thom by the commander of the governmont schooner Fenimore Cooper. A clipper ship on fire, supposed to be the Manitou, Honeywell, from Now York for California, was passed in the Atlantic, no date, in latitude 14 degrees, longitude 35 degrees. Several ships were around her at tho time, and it is supposed the crew were saved.
