The steamship Fulton arrived at this port last evening, from Southampton and Havre. Her news, however, is no later than that brought by the North Briton at Quebec, and published in ovr edition of Sunday. We give full details of the movements of Garibaldi, and also General Gyulai’s official ac- count of the battle of Montebello to the Emperor of Austria. The steamship Argo, from Galway May 30, also arrived last evening. From Central America we have letters dated at San Juan del Norte the 2d, and Amlalema the 22th of May. Sir Gore Ouseley, with his family, ‘were at San Jose, and Mons. Relly had high hopes of his canal. General Lamar was about to go to Guatemala. The harbor of San Juan was again opening at its old channel. Commodore Vander- bilt having refused to advance any more cash for ‘expenses at Punta Arenas, all the property there was advertised for sale by auction. Our letter from Amlalema gives a very interesting description of the country, its inhabitants and practical re- sources. The gold mines are said to be very pro- ductive and easily worked, and Americans went there in numbers. Our Aspinwall correspondent, writing on the $d of June, says that the States of New Granada, with the exception o! ntander, were quiet. He gives some curious facts in relation to the shipment of Mexican specie to England. The Legislature had adjourned in Bogota, and iti that no action j usual time at Quarantine. a accepted the mission to France, has not been con- fimed, There is a probability that neither the English nor Sardinian missioii will be filled before the meeting of Congress. Tt has ta been ascertained what injury the Edinburg sustained by her collision with the ice berg. A despatch from St. Johns, N, F., dated on the 11th, says that a diving apparatus had been called into requisition, but that the report could not be fully relied on. The greater portion of her cargo will be discharged, or at least so much as to rednee her draft to about twelve feet, when the injury can be got at. It is supposed that three weeks or a month will be necessary to complete the repairs. The nomination of Daniel E. Delevan, as City Ta- spector, was unanimously confirmed last evening Ly the Board of Aldermen. No other business of importance was transacted, {n the Board of Councilmen last evening a reso lution was adopted directing the Street Commis cloner to take prompt measures to dredge the Cor- poration slips. Aremonstrance signed by a num- ber of Broadway storekeepers against taking up the Russ pavement was referred to the Committee on Streets, A report of the Committee on Roads in favor of giving Messrs, Wattimire and Conover $50,000 a year for keeping the roads in proper rev pair was adopted. The report of the Street Com- mittee concurring to alter the grade of Worth street from Broadway to Church street was adopt- ed. The Special Committee on the subject of es” tablishing drinking hydrants presented a report, which was laid over. They recommend that the Croton Aqueduct Board be instructed to erect fifty hydrants in the principal streets of the city. Mr. J. H. Bartholomew proposed to furnish a hundred oy more drinking hydrants at $3 a piece. The paper was referred to the “Special Committee on Drinks.” The bridges of the Grand street ferry being in a dangerous condition, the Street Commissioner recommends that his depart- ment be directed to advertise for proposals to re_ build the bridges and floats. The communication was referred. The report of the Committee on Streets, in favor of giving a contract to C. Johnson and H. E. Sayre, who agree to clean the streets for the next five years, at $300,000 per annum, gave rise to a long debate, which, on being amended by adding the names of Robert Earle and H. Harrison Reed, was adopted. A minority report was offered in favor of giving the contract to William 8. Troup and James Steers, who offer to do the work for $228,000; but, as they only pledge themselves to clean Broadway and the other leading streets every forty-cight hours, and as Johnson & Sayre agree to clean them every twenty-four hours, the Board preferred to give the contract to them. A large number of property owners from the western side of the city, in the neighborhood of Church street, assembled in the Aldermanic Com- mittee room; yesterday, expecting ‘that the Com- mittee on Streets of the Board of Aldermen would have a meeting in reference to the proposed exten- sion of Church street, and the widening of it and Trinity place and Rector street. The Clerk of the Committee, however, stated that there would be no meeting, but that any papers placed in his hands in reference to the subject would be given to the committee. The property owners expressed much dissatisfaction with this proceeding of the Alder men, and said they would prefer stating their case directly to the committee. Tue Health Commissioners had a meeting yester- day. The arrival of two vessels from yellow fever ports was reported, and one of them, which had sickness on board, was ordered to be detained the The other was per mitted to come up and discharge her cargo in the city. Daring the week ending on Saturday last there was removed from the city 20,477 loads of dirt, manure and ashes, at a cost of alittle over 33 cents per load. The total amount paid for sweeping and cartage in the city, exclusive of the Tenth and Thirteenth wards, which are cleaned by special contract, was $6,937 27. The number of men em ployed was 333, who worked 1,782 days in all’ which gives a fraction over five days for each man. The floating Quarantine Hospital was towed from her dock at Brooklyn yesterday to her anchorage near the Horse Shoe in the lower bay. She is amply supplied with all the furniture and outfit necessary to render the patients as comfortable as possible, besides half a dozen anchors to keep her secure at her anchorage ground, A jury was empannelled yesterday for the trial of James Glass for the murder of Richard Owens, in Elm street. This is the third time this case has come before the court, the jurors on the two for- mer trials having failed to agree upon a verdict. There were ten applications made to the Excise Commissioners yesterday at their meeting for licenses. They granted eight on the payment of $30 by each of the applicants, and declined granting had been taken with to the Cass- Herran treaty. Great praise was given to the condition of the United States flag » Roanoke. From the South Pacific we have adv’ dated at ‘Valparaiso on the Ist and at Lima on the 13th of May, contained in letters of our Valparaiso and As” inwall correspondents, who give interesting de- tails of the news résumé published in the HeraLp yesterday morning. The revolution in Chile was ended after a bloody battle, fought between General Vidauri with four thousand government troops and three thousand revolutionists under Gallo,near Coquimbo. Vidauri triumphed, taking six hundred prisoners and all the guns of the enemy. Over two thousand men were slain. The government soldiers had taken posses- sion of Caldera, The revolutionary party had been beaten in the south also. Trade was very dull in Valparaiso. Two sbips-of-war—Austrian and French—lay in port, and it will be inte- resting to know how the commanders act” ed on receiving the news of the war de- claration between the two Powers. The Chilean government had committed a gross insult in seiz- ing the American bark Townsend Jones in Valpa- raiso, Bolivia was quiet under Linares. Ex-Presi- dent Cordova had quitted the country. Another attempt at revolution had been suppressed in Peru, Castilla was accused of favoring these frequent outbreaks, in order to force Congress to raise the strength of the army. The Legislature had its dif- ferences with the government. From Ecuador it was reported that the towns in the interior had pronounced against President Robles and nomi- nated a new man for the office. It was thonght the blockade of G quil would soon be raisod. The mail steamer which brought the news to Panama did not touch at Guayarni We give to-d ome nal news and glean- ings from California papers by the Star of the West. Our usual resting California correspon dence is also given. | The contract for carrying the mails semi. monthly between New Orleans and Key West has been re- let to the Southern Steamship Comp: who have also agreed to extend their trips to Ha vana for the postage compensation. The Philadelphia arrived at this port yesterday from Havana, with news to the Sth inst. It is on day later than that by.the Quiker City, but two | days later has been received by the Isabel at Charleston. The markets were not altered, and the island was healthy when the Philadelphia left, It was expected that the rate of exchange would advance, By the arrival of the schooner 8, B. James, Capt. Robbins, from Grand Turk, w have advices to the 2d inst. There were very avy rains at the island destroying the most of the salt on hand and over. flowing the salt pans. Owing to the miscarriage of the letter from the Navy Department to Commodore Tatuall, approv- ing the sending of the Japanese envoys to this country in the steamer Mississippi, it has become uncertain when they will arrive, but may reach here at any moment. The Department has reiter- ated its orders to Commodore Tatnall. | | | | | | | Was to take charge of the city taxation, shon!d the other two because of some legal informalities in the applications. Among other news brought us by the Africa, we learn that the members of the American Club, which was established in London during the last year, ha it in contemplation to hold special monthly meet- ings, for the purpose of discussing all subjects of cur rent importance to our inter onal interests. Itis thought that if such discussions are entered upon in aright spirit they will afford a very useful means for imparting correct information, and for inter- cha: z practical opinions on leading questions affecting our commercial, social and political interests. The Grand Jury of the District of Columbia has found a true bill against Mr. Seaman, ex-Superin- tendent of Printing, for malfeasance in office. The colton market yesterday was firmer, ani closed at ® further advance of sc. a X40. per lb. The sales em- braced about 1,000 bales, based upon middling uplands at 11y%e. a113ge., showing a recovery from the extrome deprestion of about 13¢0. to 1%. per Ib, Tae whole de- cline was equal to about two centa per Ib., the greater part of which bas been recovered within a week or ten days pest. Whether toat recovery will be sustained to tho end of the geagon will depend very much upon the ac- counts to come forward from Europe. Tho increased Eaat India demand for cotton goo’, botd in Togland and here, will tend to etrengthen the market; and notwithstanding the largoresa of the crop of 1852-59, the stock in Liver. at last accounts, of all kinda, embraced 649,000 bales, agnitet 660 C00 balre at tho seme time in 1853.

ARE THE Taxes Lecatty Leviep?—We aug: gested, afew days 270, that the new Tax Coramis- sioners, appointed under an act of the last Legis. lature, by Mr. Comptrolier Haws, dia not com- prise a legally constituted board, and conae- quently that the legality of their oMsial acts was very doubtful. This is an important point. If there is any doubt that the tas are now illegally levied, this Board bas no Perform any other duty in connect: and we think the Supervisors, wh The statement that Mr. Slidell, of Louigiana, had take immediate meneures to have the q: gettled by the courte. testhon Our Presidential Elections Probable Explo- sion of the National Convention Spstem. With each succeeding day we areatrengthenrd fn the impression that the year of grace 1360 will mark the explosion and extinction of that party National Convention system which, for the last quarter of a century, has controlled our Presidential elections. The enormona abusesand corruptions of this debasing system have for many years been actively working out their own destruction, and never more actively than at the present day. The old rale of “honesty among thieves” has lost all its original force ia this bu- siness, The rogues have fallen out; the gamblers are quarreling over their stakes before the game | is opened, and we have thus, in view of the Charleston Convention, an encouraging prospect ofa revolution which will sweep Off all these National Convention vagrants, jobbers and gam- blers into the unmanageable complications of a scrub race, Governor Wise, of Virginia, who has no faith in half way measures, in ceasing to be the only Southern democratic leader in behalf of squatter sovereignty in Kansas, against the Lecompton constitution, has of late become the especial apostle of the Southern democracy in behalf of special legislation by Congress for the protection of slavery in all the Territories, from the per- petual snows of Nebraska to the scorching de- eerta of Arizona. We perceive, too, that Gov. Wise, in this matter, is actively supported by the Southern democracy, from Virginin to Texas. Thus prompt to discover, he is equally prompt to seize the idea which will mek» bim in 1860 what he was in 1856, the bold and revolutionary leader of the South- ern democracy. He and his party in the South will be compelled to hold this ground because of the strong pro-slavery position which the new opposition organizations of the South are as- suming. On the other hand, Mr. Douglas, the “ Little Giant” of the Northwest, has issued his ultima- tum of Congressional non-intervention and popu- ler sovereignty over the subject of slavery in the Territories, He, too, is backed by a powerful sec- tional organization, which he cannot coutrol in any other than a forward movement. He will go to Charleston fully convinced that the Southern wing of the Convention will demand him for the guillotine, and fully resolved to pay them back in their own coin. His popular sovereignty will be repudiated, he will retire with his delegates from the Convention; and thus relieved of him, the Southern controlling wing of the party will most probably proclaim the policy of Congres- ‘tonal legislation to protect slavery ia tho Terri- tories, and fall back upon Gov. Wise as a sort of Peter the Hermit to preach this new Soutbera crusade in behalf of Southern rights. But Mr. Douglas, thus ignominiously expelled from Charleeton, and thus left perfectly free to manage his Northern democratic legions asa Northern party, will lose no time in taking the field against the black republicans, with their own weapons of hostility to the extension of slave- ty. Thus, assuming that we shall have four sectional parties and tickets in the field in 1860—the Norihera republican party and the Northern democratic party, both anti-slavery; and a Southern democratic party, and a South- ern opposition party, both pro slavery ; and as- suming that the four Presidential scctional can- didates thus brought out will be Seward, Doug- las, Wise and Goggin, we can expect no other reeult than a failure to elect by the people. In this event the three highest candidates to be car- ried up to the House of Representatives will doubtless be Seward, Douglas and Wise, and between these the final compromise wil! be as likely to .fall upon Dougiss as upon Wise or Seward. That all parties are drifting to some such tri- angular fight in the House of Representatives we seriously believe. Congressional intervea- tion for slavery will be urged by ihe Sonth at Charleston a3 a sine gua non; popular sove- reignty will be urged by the Douglas men of the North and Northwest as his ultimatum; aad thus there can be no trouble in breaking np the Convention into two sectional camps, when each section appears to be equally anxious to be lieved of the burden of the other. Butia alternative of an election of the President by the popular branch of Congress, we ehall at least have the benefit of a tribunal of responst- bility and respectability, compared with the un- ecrupulous and irresponsible gamblers and vaga- bonds of a national party Convention. We shall therefore regard the dissolution of the Charleston Convention in a see tional row as the inauguration of a whole- some revolution in the mode of electing our Fresidents, Perhaps, too, such good results may follow a House election in 1851, that all parties will be satisficd to keep up the popular facilities of the scrub race. The contest of this sort of 1824 resulted, first, in the election of John Quincy Adams by the House ; secondly, in the abolition of the old Congressional caucus sys- tem of choosing the party candidate; and, thirdly, in the party convention eystem, which at length, having exhausted its corrupting appli- ances to the very dregs, must give way. Ac- cordingly, let all hands prepare for the contin- gencies of a sectional scrub race in 1860, and an election by the House. And why should the de mocracy be alarmed? Im an old-fashioned na- tional Sght of two parties they would be anni- hilated ; bnt ina sectional scrub race a solid remnant of the party may perhaps be saved, and the President and the bulk of the gpoils. Arrams iv Cume—Srmure or Some oF Geoxce Law's Murxers—By the Star of the Weet we learn that the attempt at revolution in Chile has been very nearly, if not quite, suppress- ed. Gallo, the chief leader of the insurgents, hed been defeated ina decisive battle between Coquimbo and Serena, in the northern part of the republic, which seems to have been a sharply contested struggle. Although the number of forces engaged on both sides amounted to only about 7,000 men in all, 2,000 are repdrted as kiNed and wounded, and 600 taken prisoners. The insurgent leader succeeded in escaping. Another body of revolutionists in the south, under Colonel Tirapegui, have also been routed in two actions with considerable loss. This attempted revolution in Chile partook of (he cheracter of the straggle that is now golag on in Mexico, and in most of the other Spanish American republics, with different degrees of ac- tivity, as well as on the Continent of Barope. Political ideas and ecclesiastical privileges were arrayed against each other. In Chile the move- ment was initiated by Senor Gallo, who had a per- sonal difficulty with the government. Assisted by the immense wealth of his mother, he wasable to raise and equip a large force; and the clergy, who Lave recently experienced a curtailment of thelr privileges, under certain judicial interpre- tations of the cousiitudon, lout him indirectly NEW YORK HERALD, TUBSDAY, JUNE 14, 1859. thelr sid in his effort $0 overthrow the govero- ment, aed impressed thelr ideas on bls political views, Another event has transpired in Valparaiso | Which is likely to lead to some correspondense with our own State Department. The brig Townsend Jones, which was fitted out from here wany months age, with a general cargo of George Law’s hardware, including a lot of his well known muskets, for Valparaiso and a musket, has been seized by the autborities at that port, Jt seems that after lying in Valparaiso for a yar, she found a market somewhere; but on applying for a clearance the authorities not only refosed it, but seized and discharged ihe yeasel The captain bas abandoned ber, aad is support- ed in his couree by our Minister and the Cousul. We eutpect the Chilean authorities have made a wistake in this matter; for, from certain indica- tions that we have seen, we incline to the belief that the muskets, flints and powder of the Townsend Jones were to have gone to help old Gexcral Alvarez in Mexico, Rerrorovs Inrivences iyo oTHE War.—The substantial aid which the Catholic hierarchy in Great Britain gave the Derby government in the late elections has excited a good deal of as tonisbment and indignation amongst the English liberals. They cannot understand why men who have always shown themselves the determined enemies of Catholic claims should ali at once find active partisans in the clergy of that per- suasion, The motive of their assistance is simple enough. The lesser grievance is lost sight of in the grea‘er. Catholic interests find obstacles in tory resistance, but they are elastic in their cha racter, and can be made to yield under a proper degree of pressure. Not so the dapger with which the Papal system is threatencd at the pre- sent moment. This comes from the bosom of the church iteelf, and is daily aesuming more formi- dable proportions. It originates in tho conviction which is rapidly growing up among enlightened and, intelligent Catholics, that the temporal abuses which disgrace the Pontificate are fatal to the progress of their creed. They believe that if the Pope were entirely des- tituted of his sovereign attributes, Catholicism would make more rapid strides and eventually become the religion of the world. The conclu- sion is founded on premises which, of course, none outside the influence of this particular class of thinkers wi!l be d'sposed to admit. It never- theless cannot be denied that it is finding nu- merous advocates amongst the French and English Catholics, who have never at any time been distinguished for their ultramontane zeal. Although the motives of the preseat war are ostensibly political, we believe that the en- thuciasm with which it bas been entered upon by the French and Sardinians is owing in some measure to this conviction of the necessity of a thorough reform in the Papal system. The efforts which Sardinia has already made in this direction have placed her in a position of re- ligious as well as of political antagonisa to Aus- tria; whilst the one has shown herself the advo- cate of progress, the other has manifested ® refrogressive tendency in religious mat- ters. This in itself would be a sufli- cient cause of hostility, without the other motives for enmity which exist between them. It was certain at some time or other to create political difficulties of itself, and it has not failed to exacerbate the differences which have led to the war. Tt is natural that the Romish hierarchy ia Great Britain should espouse the cause of that Power whieh has shown itself most conservative of the temporal righte and privileges of the church. No one ought, therefore, to fecl sur- prised at Cardinal Wiseman’e throwing all the weight of his influence into the scale of the late elections. The existence of the Derby Cabinet is believed by the Papal camarilla to be essential to its safety, for by maintaining it in office it is hoped eventually to range England on the side of Austria. Hence the motive of the support given to the ministerial candidates by the Irish constituencies, which are, as is well known, swayed almost entively by the priests. Ia Mag- land, where a more enlightened religious senti. meni prevails, we believe that the Cardinal’s in- Cnence failed to enlist any considerable number of vo'cs in favor of the government. ‘Tke sectarian interests which are involred in ‘bis Italien question should be allowed to fight out their differences without intervention from other sources. Ifthe slraggle be, as we believe, ina great measure a Catholic one, then it had better Le confined to those who are within the sphere of Catholic influer Protestant Germany has evidently no concern with it, and its interference will only bring trouble upon it, without adganc- ingin any degree its own religions or political weifare, Tur Ocean Yacat Race.—This affair, which is to come off on the 28th of the present month, promires to be one of the most exciting and in- teresting events of the season. Already several of the largest and finest yachts in the equadron have been entered, and it is expected that others, including the Julia, will join ia the friendly con- test for the supremacy of the waves. It is dae to the reputation of the New York Club— the alpha and omega of yachting in this coun- try—that the list should be full, and the contest a Clore one. The ocean race will give a chatice for a thorough test of the qualities of the yachts, aud the spirit of the gentlemen who sail them. There will be a fine opportunity also for the Philadelphia and Boston yachts to join in the rece, and thus give to the strife a more extended interest. We hope to be able to publish vefore the 28th a list of entries which ehall include the name of every celebrated skimmer of the seas hereabouts; then we can show our cousins across the water a squadron that even an Jaglish yacht club might be proud of.
