The steamship Argo, of the Galway line, which Jeft this port on the 23d instant for Galway, via St. Johns, N. F., went ashore near Trépassy bay in a y morning, and sank in the evening. gers and crew were saved by prompt assistance from St. Johns, but it was found that the vessel and cargo would be a total wreck. The cap- tain and crew behaved admirably. We give else- where full particulars of the_occurrence, with a list of passengers and description of the vessel. The additional news from Europe, Teceived by the Arabia, which we publish this morning, will be read with deep interest, as it clearly shows thata desperate and momentous conflict was about to take place between the belligerent forces. In- deed, it was believed in Paris that a decisive battle would be fought within a week. Kossuth had left London for Italy, where Gen. Klapka was busily engaged in efforts to seduce the Hungarian sol- diers from the Austrian army. It is reported that Garibaldi’s forces had been repulsed by the Aus, trians, but it is also stated that he was threatening the Southern Tyrol. The British Parliament reassembled on the 18th, when the Ministry officially announced their resig- nation, and the houses adjourned till the 21st. The new Ministry has been announced semi-officially: Their names may be found in our telegraphic des- patch. The Arabia arrived at Boston about eleven o'clock last night, and her mails will reach this city by the New Haven railroad at an early hour this evening. The weather was excessively hot yesterday, the thermometer at one time marking as high as 96. In the evening, however, we were visited by a very welcome shower, which tempered the atmosphere to a delicious coolness, The Quarantine Commissioners have effected arrangements by which the patients at Quarantine have been removed. The smallpox patients, with the exception of one who was overlooked, have been taken to Blackwell’s Island, and the typhoid erysipelas and fever patients to Ward's Island. The Falcon hospital hulk, for the reception of yel low fever and other contagious diseases, is nearly complete. It remains to be seen whether the Com- missioners of Emigration will accept her. - The Commissioners of Health had # meeting yes- terday, at which the arrival of two vessels—one from Bahia and the other from Port au Prince, both of which had sickness on board on the pas- sage homeward—was announced by the Health Officer. One was ordered to be detained for ob- servation, and the other to have astream permit. A variety of miscellaneous business came before them also. The Commissioners of Emigration held their weekly meeting yesterday. An appropriation of $1,000 was made to purchase three lots on Ward’s Island from John Post, who holds the title to them, The Vice President was directed to purchase 750 tons of coal, at $3 90 per ton, for the annual supply of the department. The number of emigrants ar rived during the week was 3,811, swelling the number since December to 39,145, and the number of inmates in the institutions are 753. The over" draft now amounts to $19,066 95. The Commencement of the University of New York was held at Niblo’s yesterday, and, notwith- standing the oppressively hot weather, attracted a large number of spectators. An interesting de- scription of the exercises will be found in another column. The Chamber of Commerce held a meeting yes- terday, when the Special Committee on the Quaran. tine made an interesting report, which may be found in another column. A memorial to the federal authorities relative to casualties at sea was also presented, which we likewise publish in our re- port of the proceedings of the Chamber. The 112th anniversary of the College of New Jersey was celebrated yesterday at Princeton, when interesting literary exercises took place, and di- plomas were conferred on fifty-five graduates, to- gether with honorary degrees upon several distin- guished gentlemen. A report of the proceedings is given in another part of to-day's paper. It will be seen by our report of the cattle market that with enormous receipts prices have declined a trifle. The favorable news received by the Arabia regarding the state of the market for cotton in Liverpool, and of the trade in Manchester, had the effect of strengthening the article yesterday, which closed at full 30, advance. The ales embraced about 1,400 a 1,500 bales on the basis of 11%¢. for middling uplands, The flour market was heavy and easier for most descriptions, and especially for com- mon and medium to fair grades of State and Western ‘brands. Good fresh ground was scarce and better sus- tained. Southern flour was in good demand, and medium to good extras were held with moro firmness. Sales of new red and white Georgia wero made at $1 702 $1 80, and Milwaukee Club at $1 10. Corn was more active and firmer; mixed Western yellow sold at 82c. a 86c., and yellow Jersey and Southern at 87c. 9 88c, Pork was heavy and lower; now mees cold, check on the day, at $16, ‘and in the usual way st $16 123; 9 $16 20, and prime a; $12 8734 0 $18 25. Sugars were quict, and sales con- fined to about 300 bhds., at quotations given in another column. Coffee was firmly held, while the sales em- braced 1,111 bags Rio at 11)<c., and 20 bags Maracaibo at 12, Freight engagements were moderate and rates un- changed. To Liverpool 800 boxes cheese by steamer were taken at 268., and spirits turpentine at 36. The corn and flour reported as cngaged for Liverpool in you- terday’s paper was contradicted. Oar informant we con- sidered to be fully reliabio, and do 90 yet, but subscquent investigation has led usto suppose that he himself was mistaken. With the exception of some spirits to London at 68.,s0me engagements to Bremen, and two or threo Umber ard ccai charters, here was bitte olsg doing, > Presidency—The Republican Candi- dates—Seward, Banks and Chase. While the uviversal democracy, from the rival aspirations and movements of Douglas, Wise and Hunter, for the Presidency, are in a state of effervescence which threatens a destructive demo- cratic explosion, it is equally manifest that the republican party, between the rival claims and partisans of Seward, Banks and Chase, isin a very interesting condition of discord and uncer tainty. Mr. Seward, on his departure for a brief Euro- pean tour, did not leave his political interests here subject to the chances and accidents of the passing hour. On the contrary, his claims, pre- tensions and principles as a Presidential asp!- rant, in the hands of his friends, will adm't of a larger margin of promises in his be, half, here and there, as occasion may require- than he could himself undertake to give. In- deed, we think it may be safely assumed that the main object of this visit of Mr. Seward to Europe was to escape the snares and pitfalls of the in- triguing politicians of the republican camp de- sirous of removing bim out of the way. He left these shores, too, under the most flattering assu- rances from the crowd of political admirers who escorted him out to the smiling ocean; and his Atlantic voyage may have been considerably ebortened by the golden visions of the White House with which he thus sailed away. But bis nomination by the republican party in reality is encompassed with obstacles almost as formidable as those which block up’ the way of Mr. Douglas to the Charleston Convention. As Douglas is sandwiched between Wise and Hunter, so is Seward between Banks and Chase. The republican party is of the composite order of architecture—or a sort of mosaic of old whigs, democrats, native Americans and free soilers, protection men, free traders, conservatives on the slavery issue, opponents to the further extension of slavery, and rampant abolitionists, Seward, as the representative of the doctrine of “an irre- pressible conflict” with the “slave power,” is li- mited in his strength to the fanatical anti-lavery element of the republican camp. He is not liked by the original democratic free soil and free trade element, nor by the old line conser- vative whigs, nor by the American republicans, because, from his principles and his antecedents, he has rendered himself obnoxious to them all. . Governor Chase, of Ohio, stands in a much more eligible position for the republican nomi- nation, considering that the settlement of the sharply defined anti-slavery Kansas issue calls fora broader republican platform. Thu’, while Chase is sufficiently anti-slavery for all practical purposes, his antecedents asa free trade demo- crat give him a powerful advantage over Seward, especially in the great Northwest. The Governor, however, in the death of Dr. Bailey, late editor of the Washington National Era, the central organ of the republican party, has lost a powerful advocate. There will probably bea sharp rivalry between the friends of Seward, Chase and Banks for the successor to the edi- torial chair of Dr. Bailey. If there were any money to be made out of the concern we should conjecture that Thurlow Weed, in behalf of his master, would be the man for the negotia- tion; but as the net profits of the Era, according to Weed’s ideas, are small, the responsibilities and labors thereof heavy, and the price, no doubt, pretty high, Weed may be supplanted in the purchase. Atallevents, the availability and popularity of Gov. Chase in the Northwest will be felt in the Republican Convention very much o the disadvantage of Seward. On his other flank onr Now York pulfticut eseayist and abstractionist is threatened by that available and popular New England republican favorite, Gov. Banks, of Massachusetts. He has spent the last fortnight or so in this State, and chiefly on this island, in a quiet, social way; and yet, from all that we can hear, Gov. Banks has made a very strong impression in his favor among our republican and opposition men of all shades of opinion. Having risen from the hum- ble beginning of a factory boy to his present position in Massachusetta, as the official head of the State; and having thus, through his own exertions, talents and commanding character, overtopped such aristocratic old Bay State names as the Winthrops, the Lawrences and the Apple- tons, we can readily account for the popularity of Banks in Massachusetts and all New England. He has also proved his popularity and his quali- ties on a broader scale at Washington; and of all the public speakers in behalf of Fremont in 1856, Banks was unquestionably the most states- manlike, comprehensive, consistent and con- vincing in the matter and in the ecope of his ad- dresses, Considering the indispensable original demo- cratic element of the republican party, Banke, even in New York, if put to the test, trom the fact that he too was a democrat, would be apt to overshadow the Presidential availability of Seward. We dare say that the New England delegation to the Republican National Conven- tion of 1860 will be a unit in his behalf; and, in view of the absorption of the floating Ameri- can and old line whig conservative elements of all the North, we should not be surprised were the Convention to make him the republican can- didate, and upon a much easier platform than that of the Rochester manifesto. In any event, as matters now stand, Seward, as a republican Presidential aspirant for the sac- cession, is not ina much better position than Mr. Douglas as a democratic candidate. If the latter has gone too far for squatter sovereignty to be, in any contingency, acceptable to the Southern democratic balance of power, the for- mer has gone too far as an abolition crusader to be acceptable to that other balance of power commanded by the floating opposition materials of the North. Democnatic Hanmosy—Tur Ricumonp Exqui- rer Vs. tHe Apany Anravs-ArLas—The Richmond Enquirer having entered very earnestly into the advocacy of the legitimate democratic claims of the New York hardshells, Daniel S. Dickinson, Fernando Wood, &c., against the dic- tatorial pretensions of the Albany Regency, we find the Albany Adus-Argus somewhat excited upon the subject. It says of the Enguirer, sub- stantially, that after having almost ruined the democratic cause in Virginia, it is making itself ridiculous with its officious interference in the family jars‘of New York. This shows that the Wise and Woo2 medicine is beginning to work, and we can tell the Alva- ny Central Railroad interest, and the keepers of their political variety shop, that this is not the end of their purgation. The Dickinson faction, if you please, will enforce the district system of electing the party delegates to Charleston, or send down a contesting delegation. In this latter event, with all the South in their favor, these contestants will be very apt to be admitted, to the total exclusion or gomplete neutralization NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1859. of the Albany railway junta. We are alo in- formed that a demooratic Wise Olub is in process of organization in thia city, and with every pros- pect that it will enlist the bulk of our city de- mocracy under its colors, in good season for our regular Democratic State Convention of Septem- ber next. Wise and Wood understand each other thoroughly. Wood has thus the inside track for Charleston, and his party of New York will be heard in that Convention, if not at Syracuse, Let Master Dean Richmond, or his good man Peter, put this in his pipe and smoke it, and this— that Fernando Wood has enlisted for the war. Tae War mw Irary—Tus Arms Pressina on TowaRps tHE Srraearc Squars.—The details of the news by the Arabia, though revealing the fact of no new battle, repre- sent the Austrians as receiving reinforce- ments from Vienna, the corps d’armée of the Archduke Charles and the Archduke Albert being on the move to Italy. A large corps of Austrians is also sald to have arrived in the Valtelline, which Garibaldi had previously revo- lationized. There is no further news of the ad- vance of the Allies; but doubtless they are pressing on towards the Mincio, behind which the Austrians intend to make their last grand stand. Meantime the French, it appear, are about to attempt a flank movement on the enemy by sea from Venice throagh the mediam of their fleet in the Adriatic. The design of the French Emperor is clearly to assault the Aus- trian fortresses behind the Mincio, and there doubtless the brunt of the battle will be borne by both armies. ) The mobilization of the Prussian army, an- nounced by the news of the last steamer, indi- cated some important movement on the part of that government, and we learn now that the rumor was rife in Europe that Prussia intends to make certain propozals to Louis Napoleon to bring about a peace, which, if rejected, will form the basis of Prussian intervention in the war oa the side of Austria. We look upon this state- ment, however, with some distrust. That pro- porals for peace will follow the next decisive battle is quite probable; that they will be suc- cessful is very doubtful. Meantime no important strategic movement has occurred since last accounts from the seat of war. The strong reinforcementa which the Aus- trians have received, however, may render the conflict which is about to take place a more bloody and tedious one than was anticipated. Tue Srreet Wivenrxa Jons—INFLUENCE OF THE Centra Parx.—The jobbers and speculators are still at work endeavoring to make money out of the widening of Nassau street. Once for all, we denounce this as the most corrupt and un- necessary piece of work ever undertaken. Nas- sau street is wide enough for all present pur- poses, and more than wide enough for anything which will be required of it in the future. Any one can see that business is diffusing iteelf up town, between the rivers, and rapidly vacating such streets as Nassau and others in the lower part of the city. « The Central Park is destined to effect a great social, commercial and local revolution in New York. When it is completed the wealth and fashion of the metropolis will conceatrate around it. Fifth avenue, Fourteenth street, and the other streets in that vicinity, now occupied by fine residences, will in a few years be filled with handsome dry goods and other retail stores; while around the Park itself we shall have seven miles of magnificent private dwellings. Every anawhe cen afurd it will have a home in its locality, and the streets now occupied by dwell- ing houses will be abandoned to the progress of business. What necessity is there, then, for ex- pending millions of dollars in widening the streets down town, from which the nature of things has manifestly ordained trade should be daily withdrawing? We repeat, there is no ne- cessity for it at all, and the idea originates in a corrupt scheme of a few speculators to make money. Aprepos of the Central Park. From what we see of it now it is evidently going to be the finest public park in the world. Europe will bave nothing like it, and we opine that its at- tractions will yet draw to this city many people from Europe, who will be induced to make New York their home, owing to the existence of the splendid country which outlies our grand park: Moreover, it may be said for the park that its moral influence upon the masses will ere long be manifested ina way that may surprise the narrow-minded, would-be philanthropists. The Bowery boys and rowdies generally of this city, spending their lives, as they do, in reeking slums and dens, are perhaps the most savage and reckless class in the world; but the beautics of the park will do more to humanize them than all our courts and juries and police combined. Place the most outcast vagabond in the midst of nature’s superb developements, or surround him with the glories of art, and he becomes awe- struck, subdued, humanized, perchance redeem- ed. The human heart, in its worst degradation, is not unsusceptible of these influences. There can hardly be found anywhere a more savage claes than the gamins of Paris; yet it is notorious that in the Champs Elysees, the Bois de Bou- logne and the galleries of Versailles, which are thrown open to them, they behave, at least, if they do not feel, like gentlemen. So it will be with our park. Its ameliorating influences will be felt in all classes of society, and while it will enhance the enjoyments of life for the richer classes, it will soften down the rough edges in the nature of the ruder, more unpolished and more dangerous portion of the community. Ccsrom House Rernencument.—It is much to be feared that Mr. Cobb, with the very lauda- ble intention of curtailing the expenses of the government, has been misled, by unwise ad- visers, into adopting a policy with regard to the colleetion of the revenue at this port, which will be fraught with consequences injurious to the mercantile community and to the very cause he is most anxious to serve. The eyes of the public have been pretty attentively fastened upon the New York Custom House for several years, and the result of the closest investigation has shown that while certain abuses undoubtedly exist, and a swarm of lazy, greedy political cormorants have been allowed to plunder the treasury, there has nevertheless been abundance for every employé and clerk to do, and the only fault has been that they have not been compelled either to walk the plank or to perform their duties. At no period within the last twenty years has there been a more determined reso- lation to retrench the public expenditures than about the years 1847, ’48 and 49, Yet while the revenue collected in 1848 at this port was only $19,761,732, the cost for collecting the same was $826,429. The number of clerks was notoriously ibwdeqnaty at thas time to the work required of Sie aceon ese la Md aM LA: them, and it became so indispensable to increase their number, and especially to augment the force of inspectors, laborers in the public stores, and private watchmen, that in 1854 the expendi- ture for collecting the revenue had increased to $1,186,145, and upon the earnest remonstrances of our federal officers and merchants a still fur- ther number of employés were engaged io 1857~—’8. Yet in 1858 the value of exports from New York was only $85,669,865, while for the six months closing to-day of 1859 they have reached the sum of over $60,000,000. The value of imports for 1858 was $151,149,208, while for 1869 they have been for only half a year $127,776,448; and the revenue collected here for 1858 was but $26,476,731, while up to the Ist of July, 1859, it will have amounted to $19,500,000. Yet, in the face of this prodigious aud unprecedented increase of business, and with the experience of past years calling for an increase rather than a diminution of clerical force in the New York Cue- tom House, Mr. Cobb proposes to discharge to-morrow two hundred employ és of the govern- ment, including clerks, measurers, gaugers weighere, laborers, foremen, &c., who are abso- lately necessary to provide for the daily require- ments of the public service. ‘The cost of collecting the revenue in New York has by no means increased, within the past decade, in proportion to the increase of trade. In 1848 the imports into New York were valued at $89,315,969, and the exports at $45,863,916. In 1857 the imports were $228,121,994, and the exports between $115,000,000 and $120,000,000. The imports and exports this year, up to the present time, exceed any sum ever before known during any six months in the history of the commerce of the country ; and we feel safe in prognosticating that if the step which the Secre- tary of the Treasury proposes taking is persisted in, an outburst of discontent among our mer- chants will be the first consequence, and angry acclamations on the subject daring the early part 0° the next Congress the second. ‘The New British Cabinct—Its Bearing on the ‘War in Italy. The new British Cabinet presents a remarka- ble combination of representative men in the liberal party of England, who have for a long time had their differences with each other on matters of domestic policy, and have now eome to act together at a time when the higher ques. tion of external security takes precedence of that of local reform. : Though it cannot be called, in the strict sense of the term, a Cabinet of all the talents, it combines men of great talent from every section of the party, under the leadership of a man whose liberalism is that of the lip rather than of the heart, but whose protean politics evince a wonderful facility of play whenever the question of retaining office comes up. Lord Palmerston represents himself alone. Lord John Russell brings to the government the support of the aristocratic Grey-Minto clique. Mr. Cobden brings that of the solid men of Manchester and the radical reformers. Lord Granville repre- sents the moderate section of the old federated aristocratic class interests. Lord Elgin may be said to represent the honest, practical, common sense of England. Mr. Gladstone belongs to the Peelites, and Mr. Milner Gibson comes from the liberal side of the aristocracy. Thus it will be seen that the aristocratic ele- ment is atrongly represented, but from those sec- Uons of it that see the necessity of accepting Wberal principles, and bound together by the true liberals, who find the best axioms of politi- cal science in the merchant's ledger, and its true aim in the greatest good of the greatest num- ber. In questions of a domestic character, of reforming abuses at home, extending the fran- chise, and the internal policy of the country generally, it is not probable that these men will agree. It is far more likely that there will be continual bickerings among them, which will, however, be passed over or patched up as long as the question of its foreign policy is the pa- ramount one for the consideration of the English government. The course of events, too, will naturally tend for a time to bring about this re- sult. As long as the danger of a general war in Europe exists, the public mind of England cannot be brought to any excited divisions on purely local questions. This Cabinet, therefore, having been constructed purely with reference to the foreign policy of England, it is in that light, and the bearing it may have on the affairs of Europe generally, that it must be considered. ‘The whole Continent is contemplating at the present moment the cqntest between two of its greatest military monarchies, one of them sym- pathising with, and fighting the battle of the nationalities, and the other defending the cause of the sovereigns, and the existing order of things, political and territorial. The last British Cabinet was overthrown because its sympathies carried it too far in favor of the cause opposed tothe growing rights of the people. So far as this goes, it isa great victory to the policy of Lonis Napoleon, and taking his Milan manifesto as the honest expression of his intentions, it is for him a complete victory. He declares that the sole object of the war is to free Italy, and he wishes to carry it no farther. The position in which England is placed by the advent of the new Cabinet throws all her influence on the side of confining the war to the Italian peninsula, and it will be thrown against either party de- siring to carry it farther. By withdrawing her secret sympathies from Austria in the present emergency, England pronounces herself’ decided- ly in favor of the withdrawal of Austrian rule from Lombardy and Venitia, where the popular irritation which it caused endangered the peace of the whole of Europe. By withholding herselt from all entangling alliances with other Powers she gives an equally emphatic assurance to Louis Napoleon that her present countenance to his movements docs not go beyond his avowed in- tentions in Italy, and that she holds herself free to approve or oppose him hereafter, as policy may dictate. The position thus assumed by England will hold Prussia and the other German Powers in check if they should have any real intention of assisting Austria by menacing France. Prussia will mobilize her army as a precautionary measure of eafety, but she will not march it for that would be to court the danger she wishes to avoid. She has no sympathy with Austria in any way, and the positions that have been taken by Russia and England will enable her to resist any pressure from other members of the German confederation to side with Austria, and permit her to follow the bent of her own inclinations, which are to see the Austrian power diminished, 80 long as it is not attacked within its federate limite, Thus all things combine thus far to con- fine the war to Italy, where the great and bloody struggle has yet to take place which will show whether events beyond human control will ex- tend it to the rest of Euope, eet, A New Sensation ror THE Warm WeATHER.— With the thermometer in its present elevated condi'ion, a sensation or an excitement would seem to be impossible. Art would seem to be in a hopelessly dormant state—politics are dull— everybody says we shall bave enough of them in the fail. The artists have either gone to Europe or are resting from their labors at the watering places. Piccolomini, who made the latest and the most profound censation, has left us. The Cheva- lier Wikoff has-for the present cut the land of the free and the home of the brave. He has gone to China, there to fascinate the Son of the Sun and Brother of the Moon; there to reor- ganize the tea trade; there to put our relations with the Central Flowery Kingdom upon the best footing. Fernando Wood is very quictly en, aged with Governor Wise, of Virginia, in making arrangements apropos to the next Presi- dential election. He desires to make old Vir- ginia again a mother—of Presidents, Recorder Barnard has just entered the matrimonial state, which is more agreeable than the State of New York. The Chevalier Forney is after the print- ing of the next Congress, which job is alo being chased up by the Chevalier Hels, They are both so anxious to serve their ungrateful coun- try and pocket a good round -profit, that they will let all other matters of more or less conse- quence go by. In fact, there is scarcely any- thing to do, and hardly anybody to do it. Tn this horrible state of thingswe are glad to see that there is one person, the Count Joannes, né George Jones, who, in spite of the weather, intends to rush into the breach and give us some- thing new, novel and entertaining. To speak without ambiguity, the Count Joannes, né George Jones, is the author of our new sensation. The Count Joannes, né George Jones, is the coming man, for the proof of which assertion we direct attention to some very extraordinary and ex- ceedingly eloquent correspondence which we bave recently printed in the Heraup. In the first despatch the Count Joannes, né George Jones, is called upon by the world in general, and three distinguished New Yorkers in particu- lar, to wit, the Mayor, Mr. Tiemann; the emi- nent counsellor, Mr. James W. Gerard, and the no less prominent actor, Mr. Edwin Forrest, to gratify the public with a performance of Hamlet a la mode de Joannes, né George Jones. There are other names attached to the letter, those of men as yet unknown to fame. The Count Joannes, né George Jones, rather than disappoint the Western World, has accepted this trinitarian obligation, and intends to play Hamlet esthetically and elaborately at Niblo’s Garden next Saturday night. Likewise, the Count Joannes, ni George Jones; intends to give to the assembled wisdom of the metropolis an oraterical exposition of his ideas upon art, litera- ture, politics in particular, and mundame affairs in general. We are quite confident from reading the names of the endorsers of the Count Joannes, né George Jones—and they are among the strongest men in the city—that the audience at Niblo’s on Satur- day will receive a great treat. Mayor Tiemann will give to the Count Joannes a first rate idea of the political side of the character of Hamlet, Mr. Gerard will get up the law of the case with his usual skill, and the dramatic part of the per- formance could not be in better hands than those of Mr. Edwin Forrest. Without doubt there will be a great deal of curiosity about the per- formance of Saturday next, and the affair will go off much better than that of the distinguished patronesses of the performance in aid of the Woman’s Hospital. As to the Count Joannes, né George Jones, it seems to be doubtful which continent may truly claim the honor of his paternity. Five cities claimed to be the birthplace of Homer—two continents contest for the honor of having pro- duced the Count Joannes, né George Jones. As for his acquirements, they belong to the history of the world. We may say incidentally, how- ever, that he has a certificate of his literary abilities from the King of Prussia. The impor- tance of this document may be adjudged from the fact that his Majesty has never done anything sanely since. He has lost his wits, and has been roaming up and down Europe looking for, them. The Count Joannes, ni George Jones, was too much for, and exhausted King Clicquot, who washes his face with soup, decorates his beard with maccaroni at Florence, and bathes himself in Chambertin upon the vine clad banks of the silver Rhine. And now comes this artistic nobleman, this literary giant, this great savant, armed with royal letters patent, covered with orders of knight- hood, and bound up, we may say, in chivalric rib- bons, the Count Joannes, »é George Jones, to illuminate the barbarians of the Western World with Shakspere’s Hamlet, according to Jones. Fortified by letters from the King of Prussia, en- dorsed by Mayor Tiemann, countersigned by Counsellor Gerard and sealed by Edwin Forrest, the Count Joannes, né George Jones, goes in to win. Let us take the boon with as much cool- ness as the weather will permit. Room for the Count Joannes, né George Jones. Execurive Prerogatives—Tuz Parvonine Power.—Since his assumption of office we believe that Governor Morgan has steadily set his face against interferiog with the course of the law in regard to criminals undergoing punishment. Even the recommendations of the Judges who have tried them have, we understand, in many instances proved ineffectual in obtaining a re- mission of their sentences. This is highly cred- itable to the Executive, and forms a gratifying contrast to the conduct of his predecessors. It shows that, republican though he be, he enter- tains a proper sense of his duty towards the public on matters so vitally affecting their inte reste, If the decision and firmness which Go. vernor Morgan has manifested on questions of this kind since his accession to office were ex- tended to the rest of his official acts, he would leave behind him a general conviction of his conscientiousness and uprightness as a public officer.
