During the war between England aud France, immedi Aicly preceding the first French revolntion, a Britieh frigawe @cpiured a French verte) of warin tho Caribbean see, ud took ber into Port Royal, Jamaica.

From this cir. Sumsiance the different, variewes of mango in Jamaica ‘were originully known by the number of the box in which fA wis brought to the island, These numbers bave iong been forgotten, witb the exception of No. 11, which ig dis Mpgviahbed ag the mout exquisite of tne innumerabie ‘Vari: tier—up wards of @ hundrod—iato Which the origina! thirty thiee kinds beve eventually merged. Is has been often asrerted that the mango hee degene. Fated in tao West Indies, both iu the sizo of tho tree and dp thet rich flavor fer which it is wo justly celebrated to its proper bapitat, This seems to be a fallacy; for the Writer bas frequently conversed with officers of the British army aod pevy, who havo been in both the Ladies, ant they ail unite tp saying tuat the West ladian mango is ip every respect equal to its Eastera parent. Certaio it is that the mango of the West Indes ranks among the mos! Desutiful of fruit trees. The mango tree is very Jarge. Its trunk measures from one to three { ference, and is oftea very much Rwaried and knotted. At the beight of aboat ten feet it throws out brancues, which spread around on every side to » considerable exvont. The foliage is exocedingly | dense, and the leaves of a deep glossy green, each men. Buring about six or eight inches ic length wod about two inches ip breadth, Ispce sbaped at the end. The tree ix Very prolific, ané of spontaneous growth As the fruit falis the seod germinw'es and eprivgs up iaco « young tree, nd, upless pulled up, hundreds of young shoots will be found under every mango troe.

Now, as he parchages the nuis at $1 50 to $2 per bundred, and the oil sells at $1 60 per gallon, tho business promises to be lucrative. Besides, native o!} will always sell in [Pedros imported, as it will bo pure. Cocoanut oil is sometimes used in cookery, but there is a prejudice against it in Jamaica, arising, per- hape, from the fact o} such quantities of an adulterated article being ttaported from abroad. The retail price of cocoanute in the towns of Jamaica is from four to six for six cents. The ripe and the young nut sell at about tho same price, The cocoanut is exotic in the West Indies.

The fruit trade of New York is immense, and shows tho growth of luxury in the cae By a calculation arrived at from Mr. Gilmartin, of 168 Front strect, something like an approximation to the amount of fruit imported into New York bas been arrived st. The quantity represents in value above $5,600,000 per ennum. The following is a brief summary :— From the Ist April to Ist July, no fewer than 80,000 bunches of bananas are imported Baracoa and Cuba alone, Of this quantity 70,000 bunches have already been received this year. Asmall quantity has been re- ceived from Jamaica, By wholeaate, baganas average ubout $1 per bunch. During tho samo period 60,000 dozen pineapples are uevally fmported from Matanzas, 40,000 from St. Bartholomew, and 15,000 dozen from Bahamas, at from $6 to $7 por Bundred. * This season some plantains have reached NewYork, the first importation for a number of years, 30,000 have ar- rived, selling at $2 50 per hundred, Some tamarinds have also arrived ina raw state, but more ure imported in syrup. The quantity now received is 400 kegs, at $2- per keg. Tho tamarind isa majestic timber tree, with a leaf similar tothe locust. The boys of the West Indies have an antip: to the tree, because tel epee are too often had in requisition to do their logging. Of oranges, 7,000,000 are annually imported, which, at $20 per thousand, represents $140,000 per annum.

A Yory important meeting was held the other day in eve of the wards up town, touching the selection of a candidate for the next Presidential election. The meeting conpisted of a number of the etrongest leaders of the re- publican party, many of whom were the mont ardent generous and influential supporters of Fremont iu the Presidentini election of 1856. Almost every ward in the city was represented by some one of the republican ‘enders, The object of the meeting was explained, by ono of the gentlemen who called it, to be for the purpore of comparing opinions and discuss: the best (mode of entering upon the next Presidential campaign in 1860, He stated that it would be one of the ‘most important elections ever held in this country since the organization of the government. This importance Brose from the peculiar condition of the country in re- ference to the slavery question, which bed agitated th nation for nearly ten years past to an extent far beyood the agitation of any former period, In comslusion, he withed bis associates to take into consiferstion the im portance of the question, and if any gentleman had re fected upon it, he hoped be would give the meeting th benefit of bis views, In order that their deliberation might be directed ag soon a@ possible toa practical oon- clusion Ove of the gentlemen assembled then rose and said that he had reflected for some time on the present position and future proepecte of the republican party, of which he was a member, and be was decidediy of opinion that the prospects of the party were good if they outy followed tho right course, He believed ia his sou! if they nonsinated a man of conservative tendoxcies, whose antecedents wero ot identified with extreme courses or violent sentiments, they would be able to carry ail the Northern States egaiust tbe democratic party or any other party which might take the fleld. In this State ft is understood that William H. Seward is to be thrust down the throats of the republicans, and tbreate are held out that if he i not nominated no other man wilt be permitted to get the nomination, Now be (the speaker) would be willing to give Mr. Soward all the credit to which be is fairly entitled; but that gentie- man was the mouthpiece of s0 mauy conflicting opinions that it would be only prudent on their part to drop him at once, apd adopt some other man more popular in the ele. ments of his politicel character aud more practical in his principle and measures. Mr. Chase, of Ohio, would be a good map and would run well. And there are other good men. General Camcron, of Pennsylvania, is a wied men, and he would make # safe candidate, who Would be generally acceptable to the party. Bat above all, be would take Mr. Banks, of Massachusetia, as the beet mau to be the candidate of the party, from a ‘variety of circumgtances which be had not time to detail tothem. Mr. Banks was originaliy a democrat and very popular, and there can be no doubt that he would unite all the New England republicans in his favor, both in tha nominating convention and at the election, He now wished other gentlemen to oxprees their opinions with the tame freedom ihat he did; but unless they took up a man like Banks, who was of 4 etatesmanlike, practical cha- racter, and without any of those sharp pointe aboat him that made some other prominent oandidates obnoxious to #0 many, he did not think they would have 0 good a chanco of evcceeding as they imagined. A middle aged gentleman here said he thought the speaker who preceded him had hit the pail on tae head. ‘The time was gone by for extreme opinions. He was for moderstion, for the practical, and for the overthrow ofthe demooratic party, even by taking a man from their own ranks, Banks was a very good man; but he thought Stephen A. Douglas was etill better; and the difference bo- tween thoir sentiments and his practically emounted to | nothing, Ho felt entiefled that if Mr. Dougias had | @ reasonable prospect of the republicans uniting upow | him throughout the Union, he would accept their nomiaa- | tlon and throw off the democratic yoke. He would bring with him the left wing of the democratic party. Another speaker now came forward, and enld he | thought Mr. Seward as good a man a8 apy in the lit pro- gentod, and he was longer in the political field and morc ident Ged with tho principles of tue party than those in whoee praise £0 much had just Deen said. It was truo that eometimes he gave annoyance to Southern politicians but he (the speaker) doubted very much if Mr. Seward meant all that he ssid. Be bad always understood, from the intimations of Thurlow Weed, that a good many of the spteches of Mr. Sewerd were intended only for buncombe If that be so, then he would just be as good a man as | Bapks, or any other person yet named. Here a gontieman came forward and with great veho mence said that the very reason now aseignod in his favor ‘was that which made Mr. Seward most-objectionable. It | was meade traneparent tha! he waz pot honost or censis tent; and for hia part, in the event of the nomination being given to Seward, be would vote against bim, and he be lieved that all those who voted for Fremont in 1856 would | follow the game cours, and turn round and yote for a can- didate of some other stripe—perhaps Mr. Douglas—leaving Seward fn the yocative. On the other hand, ff thoy ; united op Banks he would poll more votes than any other man. He was their best trump {n the coming contest. Another speaker here rose and said he thought thera Was a great deal of truth in what fell from the gentleman who last addressed them. He agreed with him on the whole, particularly as to Mr. Seward; but there was one mame that bad not yet been brought forward, and to Which he attached much importance, and (hat was the | namo of Judge McLean, of Ohio. He wasa far stronger wan than Seward, and would run better in the Western States than Banks. For his own pert he had no individual Preferences, and he only wanted 0 see the man nominated who had the best chance of winning the race. What was Seward tothem? The grand point war to enter a candi date who would be likely to come off victorious, After some further discussion a committes was appointed to correspond with the leaders of the republican party in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio, on the question of the best and most popular candidate, and to report to an adjourned meeting, to be conyened on the call of tho chairman.

A complaint was recotved from Kelly Brothers & Long of 201 Broadway, complaining of a nuisance existing iv the roar of 201 and 205 Broadway. It was referred to tho City Inepector to have the nuisance abated. The City Inspector reported that the nuisanse com plained of at the slaughter house 72 Third atroot has beon abated. Tho City Inspector also reported the nuisance com Plained of at 141 Clinton street abated. The City Inspector then presented a complaint from the Health Warden of the Twenty-first ward in relation toa manure heap at the foot ot Thirty-cighth streot, and stated that the carmen frequently dump the contents of their carts in that vicinity and in the avenues and stroets adjoining. The matter was referred to the Mayor, who was requested to direct the Captain of Police in the ‘Twenty first precinct to detall men for preventing the oon- tinuanoe of this practice, and to arrest all who shall bere- after viviate the city ordinances in this way.

They arrived in Cincinnati on the 20tn to perfect their arrangements, to which place they wore fol- lowed by a number of personal friends. To make the matter plain, we give below the report of what took place At the time the offeusive words were uttered.
