The Nova Scotian is due a Quebec with advices to the 15th inst. The Bavaria will be due here on Monday with intelligence to the fame date, and the Arabia at Halifax on Tuesday» with advices to the 18th—three days later. The War Department has received despatches from Utah to the 25th ult. Affairs there were pretty much as previously reported. The Mormons con- tinued to evince considerable hostility towards the federal authorities, but no serious trouble was ppprehended. The difficulty between Governor Cumming and the Judges remained in statu quor both parties waiting the arrival of the instructions Bent out by the President. The Iowa Republican State Couvention, which tet at Des Moines on Wednesday last, nominated & full ticket for State officers, and adopted among others o resolution condemning Gen. Cass’ letter respecting naturalized citizens returning to foreign countries, Our correspondent in Rio Janeiro sends us ad- vices dated on the 17th of May. The Legislature had been opened by the Emperor, and the country was quiet at all points. Coffee had commenced to de- cline from the very high prices ruling in April. here were heavy arrivals of American lumber, but the rates of sale were still fair. Large imports of sewing machises had come to hand. Mr. C. W. Pond, 8 chairmaker from New York, died in Rio on the 2d of May. The Board of Councilmen transacted a large &niount of routine business last evening. A reso- Iytion was adopted giving permission to the owners ©! the Ninth avenue railroad to connect their railroad tracks with those of the Hudson river and Sixth and Highth avenue railroads in and below Canal street. i reply to a resolution of inquiry relative to the Gisposition made of a motion that was adopted in this Board appropriating $50,000 for repairing the City Hall, the Clerk stated that it was referred to the Committee on Repairs and Supplies, in whose custody it still remained. An unusually large mumber of reports were presented and laid over for adoption at the next meeting. After a long de“ bate, a resolution passed by the Aldermen in favor of widening Fifty-ninth street between Fifth and BHighth avenues was lost, and subsequently laid on the table. The matter of constructing gate- houses and an aqueduct for the new re- bervoir gave rise to a lengthy discussion, which was brought to a close by voting na resolution offered by Mr. Platt directing the Croton Board te have the gatehouses constructed by Fairebild, Walker & Co, The motion was lost for want of a constitutional vote, sixteen voting in the affirmative and seven in the neg&tive. The Street Commissioner was dirécted to procure a set of new flags for the City Hall. The report of the Hpecial Committee on Free Hydrants, in favor of Girecting the Croton Aqueduct Department to place filly water hydrants, with cups attached, in the principal thoroughfares, was adopted, Mr. Busteel being the only member who voted in the negative Sgainsta measure which was originally proposed ond advocated in these colurans, and which is fraught with so much benefit to our citizens. The Btreet Commissioner was directed to have specifi- cali drawn and advertise for proposals to have the y Hail put in proper repair. joint committee of the Common Cwicil on making arrangements for celebrating the Fourth, held another meeting yc-lerday afternoon. The bul-Committee on Music rc ported that they have wude arr ements for a supply at a cost of $400. On it was agreed to have 5,000 tickets printed for admitting parties to the City Hall to Bee the fireworks in the Park. The sub-committee who had the applications of the New York Regatta Club and the Veterans of 1812, for appropriations to celebrate the day referred to them, reported in favor of appropriating $200 for prizes for the re- Gatta, every boat to be admitted to compete for them, and $125 for each of the two Veteran corps, and the report was adopted. The committee then adjourned till Monday. ‘The Commissioners of Health passed a resolution yevlerday at their meeting directing the City In- Bpector to prevent, by legal measures, the dumping of offensive matter in the sunken lots lying between Forty-first and Forty-second streets and Ninth and Tenth avenues, which has heretofore been exten- Bively carried on, to the injury of the health of every one living in that vicinity. The City Inspec tor reported that several dangerous nuisances haye been abated, and the Board disposed of a consi- Ocrable share of misceilaneous business. Our re port of their meeting appears elsewhere. ‘The Young Men's Democratic Union Club held & meeting last evening at the Mercer House, Broome street, but no business of importance tran- Bpired, The argument inthe West Washington Market Controversy, at the suit of Taylor and Brennan ys. the Mayor, &c., of New York, was resumed yester Gay before Judge Roosevelt, and is still Lourned, The police authorities of the Sixth precinct have arrested Thomas Kelly, Thomas Hughes and John F. Gordon, three notorious burglars. An account oithe depredations of these cnterpriging thieves may be found in another column. The race over the Fashion Course yesterday, be- tween Bill Cheatham and Tar River, was won by the first named horse in two straight two mile Time, 5:45-3:46}. Robert J. Walker won the mile race, beating Don Juan in 1:524~ 533. The Cotton matket waa quiet yeatorday, and sales con. doubt so far aa he is iavolved as @ Presidential mination with his platiorm of local popular sovereigaty over the subject of siavery ia the Territories; but if the Couvention shall iaterpo late into the party creed “ such new issues as the revival of the African slave trade, or a Congres sional slave code for the Territories, or the doc- wine that the cvastitution of the United States ritories, beyond the power of the people (Terri- torial) to control it as other property,” then he sim. bas seen enongh of the slippery tricks of these the tratiing and juggling of these convention tricksters to a very narrow margin. Me. Duag las does not intend again to risk the chanovs of being sold out for a mess of pottage. A new feature is thus introduced into the arbitrary and dictatorial conventions, which reads to us like decree setting them aside and superseding them through the independent movements of the va- cious candidates, movements in Virginia and New York, which our readers will fiad disclosed in the extracts which we give in this paper from the Richmond Enquirer and the New York Daily News, in benalt of Governor Wise as the proper demosratic can- didate for the succession. It will thas be seea that these two organs, the one under the control of Governor Wise, and the other under the cou- trol of Fernando Wood, play iato each other's nands with a very “happy accord.” men of the North, Governor Wise can “recognise no man as better entitled to the houor (of the Charleston Conveation) than is Daniel S. Dickia- son, of New York;” to which Fernando Wood responds that the welfare of the whole couatry “is well and truly represented by Governor Wiee,” and that “ao man, of either section, has done so much to suppress the slave trade as he.” uor, and it is also urged by the News that his Southern platform does not embrace a slave code for the Territories, nor anything of the sort. But we find that it does embrace the doctrine that “whenever, in any of the Territories, the safety of slave persons or the rights of slave property are unconstitutionally assailed, it is the power and duty of Congress” to interpose for their protection. We also find, that as Governor Wise holds that the Territorial autho- rities have no right to legislate against slavery, Aired to about 400 & 600 bales, in lots chiefly to spinners, joing on the basis of quotations given tu another column.

The Charleston Conveation—The Douglas Manifestu=The Wise and Wovd Combina- ton, The frank, bold and uamistakeable position of Mr. Dougias, a8 declared in his Wushiogton mu- rifesto of Wednesday last, in reference to the Charleston Convention, relieves us of every candidate, He will accept the Charleston no- sitber establishes or prohibits slavery in the Ter- ‘will not accept the nomination if tendered” to This is the ultimatum of Mr. Douglas. He party conventions, and will oo loager trast them. These, he says, are my principles. Adopt them, and I am with you—reject them, and I am against you. This is fair, and we rather like the movement, because it cuts down This interpretation will also apply to the Among the This is good Northern capital for the Gover: he would consider any such loca) legislation au unconstitutional assault upon slave persons aud property. This doctrine is covered up by the Richmond Enquirer, but it is laid dowa in the lengthy Stamford manifesto very broadly. Aad so, while according to the Hnguirer and the N: Governor Wise has mounted the identical plat- form of Douglas, there is really a chasm between them as wide and deep as that of the Niagara river at the suspension bridge. Here it is—Mr. Douglas maintains that on this subject of slavery in a Territory the power be longs only to the peopie of the Territory, by “friendly or unfriendly local legislation,” “legal ly to control it a8 other property.” Governor Wise contends that the Territorial author re bound «) protect slavery, and that where they fuil te do so Congress must interpose. Tais nice dixnction puts Douglas on the north and Wise or sh side of the slavery line. Each has goue we fall length of his tether to be safe at home. Thus, then, they must stand before the Convention; and upon this issue the contest ia New York and elsewhere for the Charleston delegates will turn. The issue, thus emphati- cally made up by Douglas, will admit of no dod,- ing at Charleston; and, as matters now stand, with the adoption of the platform, the Southera or the Northern wing of the party will be cut off close to the shoulder. Thus, between Douglas and Wise, the Conven- tion is forestalled, and all the other candidates of the party are invisible under this cloud. Their pretensions and movements are positive- ly ridiculous ucder the shadow of this terrible ultimatum of Douglas, The Southern democra- cy caunot edge up to it, for if they attempt it they will be cut off by the flank movement of the Southern opposition under their new organi- zation «3 a strong pro-slavery party. Nothing in the strategy of Napoleon at the battle of Ma. genta is superior to this stratagem of the South- ern opposition—a movement which drives the Southern democracy into a corner, or compels them to risk the loss of half the Southern States. In this critical position notbing can save the democracy but a general movement into the citadel of the administration of Mr. Buchanan. Here they may be enved. Tue administration is strong, ond havin cleared off the mass of rub. bich which obstructed its progress in the out- set, it has now an open highway before it, In the new Congress, in the face of an opposition majority, it will be stronger than in the last, when it had a demoralized democratic majority to contend with. And thus by May next, this 5 apparently fatal nsgto abstraction between Wise and Douglas may be sctversen'ed by the practics privciples, acbievements aud ay,tal power of a *| gocd and wise administration, Othy Wise, with the adjourament of the Charleston Gen Veatioa we shall have a war of the roses betwee.” ° Northern and a Southera democratic party. The New Brith Cabinet The Men Who Are to Vompese It, The next steamer will probably bring us the double announcement of the resignation of the Derby Cabinet aud of the names of the states- men who are to compose the new administra- tion, From the declarations made in the course of the debates which decided the fate of the tory mibistry, we may anticipate with something like ccrtainty the names of their successors, The basis of the agreement on which the reor- ganization of the liberal party was effected being the strictest: non-interventiéu in the conflict now being waged ia Italy, it may be assumed that no man will be invited to take office who has distin- guisbed bimself by his Austrian proolivitics. The accession of the Manchester men to this compact bas been obtained only on the distinot understanding that the neutrality which is to be observed by the new government shall not be convertible term: for secret ald or countenance. Neitber towards Austria nor towards Frante must the sympathies of the new administration, or of their organs, be manifested; for, uo- jees the latter are restrained in their Janguage it will be useless to attempt to wep up a show of impartiality. The influence of the Court will have to be stern- ly ignored in the new arrangements. We be- heve it is to that more than to any other cause that is to be attributed the outery raised aguinst the Derby Ministry for their alleged Aus trian tendencies, The jouruals which had the credit of being their organs were in reality uader the control of the Coburg faction, and they have had to bear the odium of their indiscretions. Im- partially speaking, we believe that a whig go- verbment would have acted but little differeatly from what the tories have done. Under the rigorous régime necessitated by the new ministerial organization, there will be but little dapger of the recurrence of the {uconsis- tencies wich caused the downfall of the last. Tue whig element will be so leavened by the new blood that will have to be infused -into it that it will be fortified against Court seductions. No Jiberal ministry can stand any time which resists what Mr. Disraeli describes as the first necessity of an incoming go- vernment—namely, the extension of the area of selection for public office, It was ony on this condition that Mr. Bright, and those who act with him, consented to tarn out the Derby administration. We may there- tore reckon upon it as tolerably certain that the new ministerial programme will inelude some of the Manchester men—in all probability Messrs. Cobden and Bright. The question arises: Under what leader wil} this fusion of the extreme sections of the liberal party consent to act? There are objections re- spectively to Lords Joha Ruseell and Palmer- ston, for each bas in his turn disappointed the expectations of the reformers. Were the exten- sion of the Parliamentary franchise the question on which the claims of these statesmen exclu- sively rested, we do not believe that either of them could secure the support of a corporal’s guard. If, again, Lord Brougham’s suggestion of a coalition Ministry were practicable at the present moment, it is our opinion that Mr. Dis raeli would command more of the confidence of the liberal party than either of their old chiefs. Disraeli is more a reformer at heart than they are, and could he but shake off the associations by which he is surrounded be would be just the man for the new or- ganization. This, however, uatil he has formally read bis recantation, which, judging by bis last speech in Parliament, he is is not possible not disinclined todo. Another session will pro- bebly bring him back amongst the ranks of those towards whom bis political sympathies dis- pose him, and amongst whom his future chances of official promotion lie. Until the time arrives when a fresh recon- strnction of party classifications becomes im- perative, from the pressure of external dangers, or of vital domestic questions, like that of Par- jiamentary reform, the English liberals will be compelled to act under their old leaders, In view of the peculiar exigencies of the present complications on the Continent, and the guaran- tees which his previous opinions offer for a strict- Jy neutral and imp»rtial course between the bel- tigerents, it is probable that Lord Palmerston wili be the new Premier. The reform question being left in abeyance, we do not know that any better choice can for fhe present be made. On the Italian question his lordship has so explicitly declared his views that no doubt can exist as to bis pursuance of the only policy which is con- eistent with the interests of England and the peace of the world, When in 1848 Austria offered to give up a portion of Lombardy if she were al- lowed to retain Verona and the line of the Adige, the reply which he made to the proposition set forth so distinctly the merits of the issues since raised, that they may be eaid to have prejudged them in favor of France and Sardisis. “I have to say,” he wrote, “that a question so im- portant in itself, and so mixed up with na- tional fecling and with traditional policy, as the question whether Austria shall or shall not re- tain a portion of her. Italian possessions, has selddm been decided simply by negotiation, and without an appeal to arms; and it seems now to have become inevitable that the fortune of war must, to a certain degree at least, determine the manner in which this question between Austria end the Italians is to be settled. The part which naturally belongs to the British * goyern-, ment in this matter is to remain spectator of events until invited by the contending parties to interpose by good offices with a view to an amicable arrangement.”’ These sentiments have been confirmed by his lordship’s recent declara- tions at the meeting of liberal members at Willis’ rooms, so that there cannot be the smallest doubt as to the principles on which his administration will be conducted in reference to the great ques- tion which is now agitating the mind of Europe. Of the other public men who will compose the new Cabinet, the principal will be Lords Joho Russell, Clarendon, and, in all probability, Lord Elgin. Public opinion in England seems to ran strongly in favor of the employment in the home odministration of a statesman who has displayed ©0 much capacity in the different colonial go- vernments and missions in which he has been Placed. We believe ourselves that English poli- cy, both domestic and foreign, would gain much from the counsels of a comprehensive and prac- tical mind like that of Lord Elgin, He ia one of the few English statcemen who eeem to feel that their duties to humanity have a greater moral fice thaw those which they owe to class inte- rests or feudal asrociations pest we We ae eR Tue Ockan Yacur Racu.—We regret to ses | that there is eome dieeutisfaction ameng yaoht- ing men as to the pew regutations of the club, as well aa in regard to sume deeisions founded \ upom those rules, A sporting journal of con- m.erable reputation in ite speciatity—we refor to prorter’s Spirit of the Times—has printed a pungent commusicaiion froma yacbtmaa set- ting fourty 89 facta the following points:— 1. That it te apprenended that the ocean race whiok ts projarted to take vlaee in July will not come off, if it is sailed at all, with as much epirit as the occaa‘ou demands. 2. That this spprebension is wel! founded; that there is a great a°a! of dissatisfaction us to the new method of measurement for the classifica- tion of the yachts and the sllowance of time. 3. That there is some dix *tisfaction as to the decisions of the Regatia Comittee when pro- tests bave been made agaiust the sppsrent win. ning yecht. The instances giver me those of the Julia, which shortened her course PY going to the westward of one of the buoys, While thy other yachts went around it.- The Julia, how: ever, received the prize. Also the awarding © the prize to the Huswell in the late race, when it is claimed that she did not sail the race ac- cording to the rules, Coutrasted with this is given the decision which ruled ‘the Rebecca out of the ocean race last year because she went through Plum Gut instead of the Race, when the printed directions did act prohibit her trom so doiug, and when it was" wppareni that she gaived nothing by the elleged cut, the other yachts being abreast of her after she bud passed through the Gut, and yet ehe beatiog ‘bem home by some four hours time. Ia the case of the Rebecca, as well as the Haswell wistakes are alleged, and yet the first is ruled out, while the second receives the prize. Now, these are iafereatial charges which con-~ cern the members of the Ciub—the fountain bead of Amerioun yachting—more than the ge acral public. It is for yachting meu to pax upoa them. Butif sucha state of things doe: exist, it is due to the reputation of the Club that areform shuld be iaitiated. Such irregular, not to say partial decisions, are coutrary to the spirit of fair play which should be the prime rule in all sporting matters, and particularly io yachting, which is a thorougbiy gentlemanly sport, carried on by gentlemen at their own ex pense, and entirely from love of it. We believe we are justified in saying that no yacht club in Kygland could exist for a day if it was not quite clear that the decisions of iis swiling commitiees were not clear of the faintest suspicion of par- tiulity. However these things may be, we trust that they will not interfere materially with the pro posed ocean race. The course from sandy Hook to Cape May is the best and the fairest that could be found. The first class yachts are allin good condition, and their owners are anxious—other things being equal— to test their qualities, Aud they should ali have a fair chance. In a great maritime city like this yachting should be upheld and eo- couraged in every way. Our trim sloops and schooners should be ready for sea service at all times, ag are the fine English yachts, and the idea of their lounging in the smooth water of jund-locked harbors, or creeping lazily along the banks of sleepy rivers, is absurd. Yachting men should spend the summer at sea, and struggle for the laurels of victory off soundings. Thea there is some excitement—tben, some can wi some real glory—thea, by comparison of models and sailing qualities, some real practical good may be attained. We should conceive it to be a very great mis- fortune if the proposed ocean race fell through. It would seriously damage the reputation of tne Club abroad, andfcertainly would not improve it at home. Tre Repvsiicans In Searcu or a Caxor vate.—By reference to the report which we publish of a secret meeting of republicans, held in this city a few days ago, it will be seen that while Wise and Douglas and other democratic candidates are coming forwatd each on his owa hook, several republican candidates are following their example, and cannot be kept back by the machinations of Thurlow Weed and the rest of the body guard of Mr. Seward. Their object is to keep other candidates in the buck ground, so as to take the Convention by a coup de main for their own chief. -But there are elements at work which will not permit the Seward clique to have matters all their own way. In Pennsylvania there are newspaper and other movements on foot in favor of Cameron; in the West there are the same for Chase, and in New Eagland there are active operations going forward for Banks, one of the ablest and most popa- lar men of the republican party. Io the event of the breaking up of the democratic party by division, of which there eeems to be every probability, Banks, who was formerly a democrat, and is.a man of good sense, eminently practical, would be one of the strong- est candidates his party could run, and would stand a fair chance of winning the prize. It is not want of candidates that presents any obsta- cle in the m@fch of the republican army, but the nozaber of them. The difficulty, as in the demo- cratic’ party, is to make a choice. But there isyer far greater likelihood of the republicans ‘uniting upon one man than of the democrats, who seem completely bewildered and confound- ed, like sheep without a shepherd—an army without a base of operations, a plan ef cam- paif, or a general.to lead it to battle. We shall look forward with some interest to the choice of a¥candidate which may be made by the republi- cans of this city, for on'that very much depends their prospect of success in the struggle of 1860 If they put forward the right man their chances are decidedly good. Exormovs Increase tn Our Inport Trape— Breakers Aureap.—By the Castom House re- turn, given in another column, it will be seen that the imports for the last week excced those of the corresptnding week in 1858 by $1,792,016, and thoge of the same week in 1857, just before the panic, by $1,541,955. For the six months com- mencing with the lst of January, the total amount of imports for the present yoar is $52,863,460, whilst for the same period in 1857 it was only $45,054,464. Thus it will be seen that notwithstanding the effects of the long con- tinned depresefon caused by the panic, and the greater caution induced by it amongst the banks, we are rushing into the excesses which led to the revulsion of that year. A good «deal of the pre- sent epeculation is, no doubt, owing to the idea that the war is to be « long continued one, and that we are about to realise ready markets and Ligh prices for our breadstutts, > art Pee Fraxanpo Woop anp THs Albany Rawwa® Recuncy,—A week, or two ago we stated, in teply to a number 0: communications on the sutject, ibat Ferpando Wood sould uot, in all probability, permit bis pame to be used as a can- Gidate for the Mayoralty; that be bad the best vnderstanding with the friends of Governor Wise (having visited Richmond to arranye plans for the compaigu), and that should Wise receive the Presidential nomination at Charles. top, it was not improbable that the ex-Mayor would have tbe secoud place on the ticket or a ecut in the Cabinet, These tugge-tions, founded upot Indubitable fuota, were received by the railway phiiosoghers and tinanciers who control the Albany Atlas and Argus, avd who keep a variety shop for the sule of Central stock, cewspaper editors, poli- ticiaus, places, railroad iron and other “notions, in the light of the best jokes of the seasou. Such a reception waa to be expected at their hands, Anything that does aot suit the Ceatra) slate isa joke. But on the principle chat mauy a true word is spoken in jest, our sumiable friends up the river may fiud that our predictiend con- ceming Wood ure jokes which will teli as well as their wore serious schemes. They may re- member that when this European war com mecced the Austrian officers, filled with contempt for the Allies, ordered their letters to be seut to Turin. The French, in a light way, said that they would be in Milan before the 10¢h of June, and the Zouaves, who ure the fuaniest fellows ia the word, told their ladies fuir to send their billas doux to Vieura. The Zouaves, who do notbing but make jokes, met the Austrians ix the pleasantest way at Montebello aad Magenta The stolid Germans could not see the French jokes, and auswered them with cold, serious lead, whereupon, still joking, the Zonaves, disdaining curwidges, tickled the Teutonic ribs with the vunic instrument known as the bayonet. The point of the joke is, that the Austrians are stil! a long way from Turin, and tbat the French are iu Milan before the time specified. Really, it is coe of the funniest things in the whole reaim oy comedy. We are afraid that this is the sort of joke which Wood's Zouayes will play upon the Central Railway Ausirians. While the latter are chuck- ling over seme splendid things of Woad’s, nis adherents will be getting ready for a grand oayonet charge, which will make the Charleston Convention avother Magenta, the White House another Milan. The Albany philosophers have run away with an insane idea that because they can bull ap or bear down railway stock, corrupt Legislature, or bribe half a4 dozen members of Congress, or direct the movements of some village politicians, they cau manage the affairs of the whole country. Sacu is not the case. The metropolis is the political centre, a8 it is the focus from which everything else radiates. A euperior mau, who is Chief Ma- gistrate of this city, cau make himself the mosi famous and the most popular politician in the country. That was what De Witt Clinton did more than thirty years ago, aud that is what Fernando Wood has been doing, Clinton, while Mayor of this city, made bimeelf a nationai re- putation, and he becume a statesman at once. The porition of Mayor of New York is better than that of Governor of any State for a clever and an atnbitious man. Such was Clinton. Be. tween his time and Wood’s the Mayoralty was held by trading Aldermen and ward politicians, stepping from the grog shops to the City Hall. Wood intused new life into the old cbair, and will go fromitto some place of national im- portapce.. That’s the joke for the Albany phi- oeophers and politicians. Isn’t it good? AFFAIRS WASHINGTON. Despatches from Uteh — Sreech-Loading Rifles The Bust of the President—The Cen= trat Park Fountain, &. OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. Wasnxotos, June 24, 1859. The War Department bave received «large mail from Utah, with dates to the 26th ult, The aspect of aifairs had aot materiaily changed.
