Wew York, Friaay, July 1, 1850, Tne News. The arrival of the European mails brought by the Arabia in this city last evening, enables us th’ morning to lay before our readers letters from our correspondents at London, Paris, Berlin and Co- logne, together with copious extracts from our files, thus presenting the details of the important events occurring in Europe down to the latest date. We have advices from Havana to the 25th ult., put they contain no news of general interest. The public health was excellent and political affairs quiet. It is stated that considerable uneasiness was felt in commercial circles from the fact that a great deal of exchange had come back protested, and there had consequently been large shipments of specie to New York to save the bills already sent. By way of Havana we have accounts from Ca- racas, Venezuela, to the 8th ult. The country con- tinued in a deplorable state of disorder owing to the broils of the varions factions. It is reported that General Castro had resigned the Presidency of the republic, and that Vice President Tovar had assumed the direction of the executive functions. In accordance with the economy and retrench- ment principles of the Secretary of the Treasury, Collector Schell yesterday notified some eighty of the Custom House employés that their services were no longer required. The victims are entry clerks, invoice clerks, measurers and assistant weighers, and a list of their names may be found in another column. Despatches from St. Johns, N. F., dated at noon yesterday, state that the steamer Argo will be a to- tal loss. Twotugs were alongside of her, however, saving all the property they could. All the passen- gers, with their luggage, were safe. Twenty-five of the first class passengers were already booked for Galway, and we understand that the agent of the American Express Company has made arrange- ments with the agents of the steamer Glasgow to call at St. Johns and take the remainder of the Ar- go's passenger's to Europe. The captain and first officer of the Argo were, it is reported, on the “bridge” when the ship struck. The wheat crop in every quarter is represented to be in excellent condition. In Maryland and Vir ginia it is being cut, and the yield will be large and unsurpassed in quality. In Tennessee it is abun dant, thongh slightly damaged by the fly. Ala- bama, North Corolina and Texas report favorably. In Southern Illinois harvesting is going on in good earnest, and the yield is very heavy. Captain Amos Pilisbury appeared before Presi. dent T. B. Stillman, of the Police Board, at head- quarters, yesterday, and was sworn in as General Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police. Deputy Superintendent Carpenter and several of the Police (Commissioners were present and congratulated Mr. Pillsbury on his accession to the office. He entered at once upon the discharge of his duties. His office is at the police headquarters, corner of Broome and Elm streets, on the first floor. General Tall- madge’s rooms, on the second floor, will be occupied by the Commissioners. The Board of Aldermen met last evening, but transacted little business of importance. A peti. tion of property owners in favor of anew road from Harlem river to the lower end of the city, either on the east, middle, or west side of the city, was presented and referred. The Street Commissioner communicated the fact that the work already done for the Fire Department is sufficient to exhaust the appropriation allowed for that bureau. A report in favor of an additional issue of Central Park stock was called up and adopted. There was no important business transacted in the Board of Councilmen yesterday, although a number of papers were received and laid over for future action. A reportof the Committee on Fire Department, concurring to build a new house for Hose Company 43, was adopted. A communica ‘was received from the City Inspector, in which he stated that a number of sunken lots were filled with pools of stagnant water and refuse of every description, He deemed it important in a sanitary point of view that immediate ac- tion should be taken to abate the nuisance. ‘The paper was referred to the Committee on Pub- lic Health. His Honor the Mayor submitted a copy of a letter received from the Secretary of the ‘Washington National Monument Society, in relation to receiving contributions from city corporations to aid in the completion of this great national work. ‘The subject was referred to the Committee on Fi- nance. A resolution directing the Street Commis- sioner to have the Broadway pavement grooved between Grand and Spring streets, as an experi- ment, was laid over. Several resolutions directing the flagging of streets were adopted. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday were confined to about 200 a 300 bales, without change in prices. We repeat oar quotations in another column. There was a disposition ‘among holders to await the receipt of the Arabia’s let ters, The usual influence of the near advent of a pa tional holiday was sleo felt to some extent. The receipts of flour being moderate, the, market exhibited greater firmness, with a better demand from te trade, and sales were rather larger. Southern was also more buoyant, ‘and the demand fair. Included in the sales were some parcels, for export to tropical ports at full prices. in wheat the firmness of bolders checked sales, which wore Light, at quotations given in another place. Corn was again firmer, with feir sales, ranging from 82c. a 860, for Western mixed spd yellow, and 87c. a S8c. for Jer- @ey and Southern yellow, and sales of prime Southern ‘white were reported, for export, at 90c. Pork heavier and easier, with sales of mess at $162 $16 123, | and of prime at $1275 a $12 while sales were limited: the stock hhds., against 36,515 on the Ist tgninst 20,001 last year; 50,006 bags, against 15,000 year. Coffee was firmly held, but quiet; the stock ‘Draced 34.571 begs Rio, and « totel of packages of Kiv@e of 111,878, inc vded tm which were 67,348 mats Gore Freight eugugeescts were mocerate; among ‘which wore 6,000 bushels of core, enguged for Liverpact tu begs, at 84.; 200 bbls. spirits turpentine et Ss., with barreled pork at Od., and $60 boxes cheese, by steamer, at ‘808.; with rice to Londen at 17s 6d., and rosin to Glas Gow at 2s. por 290 Ibe. A deal charter from Bio to Lon- don was made at 80s. The ship Beaver, of 729 tons, slipper bulls, and constructed in Maine, w sold for $20,000. ‘The Probable Action of Prussta in the W. r— A Great Battie at Hand. ‘The most important feature in the late news from the war in Europe, aa recelved by th. mails from Boston last: night, is the probable 4! titude which Germapy may aeeume in the stug- gle. It is said on the one hand that Prussia ic willing to assent to the abandonment of Lombardy by Austria, and as long as Louis Napoleon is content with this result of the pres:nt con- flict she will not interfere; but if the total evacustion of the peninsula of Italy by Austria fe insisted upon, that Prussia will march hee mo bilized army to the Rhine frontier. The threats held out to Germany in the Russian circular of Prince Gorztchakof, it is also said, have iaaucea Prussia to demand an explanation of its meaning, woile at the came time it is intimated that Prussia is determined to maintain the proposition accepted in 1848, that the Mincio should be con- sidered the bonndary of German territory in Ttaly, and that the passege of that line by the Allies would therefore make the war a common cause for all Germany. It is reported, more- over, that an understanding to that effect had been previously come to with Austria. ‘There can be no doubt that in the event of these rumors proving true a general war in Europe is inevitable. It may be, however, that Prussia has assumed her recent hostile attitude in view of the possible coalition of the new British ministry with France, in the hope of pre- venting any open alliance between Lords Pal- merston and Russell and Louis Napoleon, the French proclivities of these two British states- men being notorious. ‘The strategy of the Austrians in Italy is clearly to concentrate all their forces within the square bebind the Mincio, and there compel the Allies to decide the contest. This is proved not only by the fact that the main army has been pursuing a retrograde movement in that direction, but also by the withdrawal of the garrisons of Pavia, Piacenza, Bologna and Ferrara, and the more recent movement of General Urban’s corps to Oranovi, doubtless with a view to join the main army. Meantime, the movement of the French from the Adriatic fleet at Venice and the army under Prince Napoleon through th- duchies of Parma and Modena, indicate that itis the intention of the Allies to surround the enemy within their almost impregnable stronghold in the square flanked by Verona. Thus, with the Austrians bemmed in at their last great standpoint in Lombardy, we may look for the most deaperate and hardly contested fight of modern times—in short, the fourteenth great decisive battle the world has ever witnessed. And the intelligence of this battle may reach us now almost at any moment. The End of the Fiscal Yeur—Aggregates of ‘Trade and their Teachings. With the end of the fiscal year, which expired yesterday, the tables of our commerce and navi- gation are made up, and although the full re- turns are not officially published until the open- ing of Congress in December, the aggregates are generally accessible, and they afford a pregnant field of comment both to the real and the would- be political economists of the country. Asa general thing their lucubrations are of little account. Their writers can only possess partial details of the movement of trade, and are obliged to estimate that of other sections by com. parison. Further than thig, they usually aceept the official figures as the irue measure of the commerce of the country, and are thus frequently ied into the most erroneous deductions. Little confidence can be reposed in these one-sided ac- counts between nations making mutnal ex- changes, for the values given in the tables are neither the actual values of the articles at the place of production, nor those of the markets of sale. We know that there are persons who, firmly believing in onr cumbersome, cost- ly and onerous system of ad valorem valuations, with its triple guard of bard swearing before our consuls abroad and Custom House oaths and appraisement at home, will insist upon it that the tables are very nearly correct. But even then they repreeent the official, and not the commer- cial values of trade. There are numerous ele- ments entering into the composition of the latter which are not tangible to the official touch, and yet they form an important portion of the ma- tual exchanges of commercial nations. ‘This fact will be best illustrated by a case in point in a trade which employs hundreds of ves sels annually. A shipowner in Maine puts on board of his vessel a cargo of lumber and directs the captain to go to Cuba, sell the lumber, pur- cbuse a cargo of molasses, and return home. The proceeds of the lumber are invested in the pur- chase of the molasses, and any balance of cost is paid for in bills drawn on the owner. When the vessel arrives, her cargo purports to have cost the +bip owner the amount of the invoice calculated at the market price of the +rticle at the port of Jading. But he has compensated this amount by three elementa of value. First, the freight on the lumber carried oat, which has been earned by bis versel; second, the profit over and above the freight which he has made on the sale of the Jumber; and third, the drafts on himself to be paid in currency. In this case the amount of cost to the country of the imported cargo of molasses really consists in the original cost of the cargo"6f lumber sent out and the amount of the drafts paid in currency. Tbe profit on the lumber shipment and its cost of carriage tothe foreign market, although they Ggure in the tablea as imports from abroad, are really profits on onr commerce returning home. Compensations of this character enter into all fhe transactions of commerce; but they | are not tangible to the compilers of onr officia tables, and therefore these are of little value, except that, being made up from similar sources year after year they exbibit: a comparative view of tbe currents of trade. The true bearing of foreign commerce upon the material inte- rests of the country must be gathered from a class of generalization very different from the official tables. These, however, have their value as measures of comparison, as we havestated. The upproxi- Tate aggregates of our commerce for the last year give a total import of $350,000,000, against $280,000,000 the year before ; and an export of $350,000,000 against $325,000 000 in the year previous. There is one circumstance peculiar to our fiscal system which dimivishes the” value of these tables even as @ measure of | Comparison. We assume to express the | ®mounts imported and exported at their market values, Tho Smancial panig which NEW YORK HERALD): FRIDAY, JULY» 1, 1859. swept over the civilized world at the olose of the year 1857, which formed the beginning of the flecal year 1858, bad a marked effect on the prices of merchandise in 1858, from which those of 1859 present a partial, and in some articles a com- plete recovery. Without the data necessary to know the ameunt of yards, pounds or galloas imported in each year, we cannot know whether our imports have really increased or not. In our tables of imports and exports we make ® distinct estimate, following certaia old fal- lacies in political economy, of the amount of +, eole which has flowed too and fro in the course © ‘te year. In many quarters this branch of tra» is watched with great anxiety, aud aa ua- due itv; ortance is given to its aggregates. Thus, we ar: told that last year we exported $65,000,000 of specie, and imported ouly $10,000,000, while tbe year before the figures stood at about $55,000,000 exported, against $20,000,000 imported, and direful effecta from this faot ere prognosticated, Now, the fact is, wo are a gold producing nation just as much as we are a cotton, or tobacco, or grain producing na- tion; and if we were obliged tokeep our surplus gold at’ home the effect would be just as disastrous to our true interests ag it would be to keep our surplus of cotton, tobacco or grain at bome. Nothing hasa value if we cannot use it or exchange it for something that we can use. The truth ie, that the aggregates of the import and export of gold are only interesting to those who carry on banking on a fictitious basis, They would like to have somebody keep on hand a mace of gold which they might borrow when in a pinch to redeem their promises to pay, but which in normal times circulate with the people as cur- repey. The aggregates exhibited in our tables of trade are not always, therefore, true guides as to the benefit or deterioration of our material interests: The true merchant and political economist will look for other influences which bear upon them. Do there exist in apy quarter feverish influences which are disturbing the calm tides of com- merce? Is there in any large branch of our trade a gathering expansion like that of 1836, when we imported wheat, and paid for it at the tate of two dollars a bushel? Are there causes at work anywhere to induce speculators to flood and stimulate our markets with foreign goods, to be cold under the hammer to raise what is otten called, in commercial parlance, the wind? These are the true studies of the public econo- mist, The tables of trade show us what we bave done, not what we are’doing. They are the records of experience, and experience looks only backward, like the stern-lights of a ship, which ebow the wake to the pilot, but not what lies in his course, The Ministerial Changes in Kogland—Thetr Effect Upoa its Domestic Policy. We give elsewhere this morning biographical sketches of the members of the new British Cabinet, which is to conduct the affairs of that empire during the present important crisis. Important sis the influence which the new ministry is about to exercise on the war question, its future bearing upon the domestic policy of England is a matter of almost equally interesting speculation. It is true that the con- stitution of the Cabinet has been based ostensi- bly on a present necessity, and that many con- tend that the moment the emergency has passed away the elements of which it is composed will revert to their original classifications. The per- sons who reason in this way have bestowed but little attention upon English politics. The or- ganization of the new ministry is due less to a sudden pressure than to long formed conclusioas. The Crimean war had already demonstrated to whig statesmen the necessity of a proximate con- cersion to the claims of the middle classes to admission to power, and the failure of their own combinations to keep out the Derby-Disraeli clique, and to turn them out when in, completed their convictions, It became clear to them that with a young and ambitious party bidding for power, and withdrawing from them the eupport of the Catholic interest and the ultra reformers, they would soon find themeelves re- duced to a helpless fraction of the great organi- zation they had so long controlled. To whig minds, exclusion from office is political extinc- tion, and they were compelled either to accept the alternative of associating with them in the ministry some of the leading radicals, or submit to a perpetual exile from Downing street. Ithas been known for some time past that they had decided on the former coarse, and that they required but a decent pretext for effect- ing the combinatioa. The blunders of the Derby Cabinet fortunately came to their aid, and now we have a composite ministry, which not only re- presents every section of the liberal party (cot- ton as well as old whig family interests), but by way of amalgam, the leaven of the young and brilliant intellects which composed Sir Robert Peel's following. So far as the war is concerned, we believe that the composition of the new Cabinet is one that guarantees firm and enlightened policy, which, while it consults the interests of Mogland, will not ignore those of humanity. If Lord Palmerston and his colleagues do not deem it advisable to depart from the principle of strict non-intervention in favor of Italy, neither will they hold out encouragement to Austria in an obstinate and evicidal course, or back Ger- mapy in an interference which is called for only by its own over-excited susceptibilities Bat, apart from their course in reference to the war, we believe that they will do their best to culti- vate the friendship and close alliance of France, 80 long as the policy pursued by the Emperor tends to advance the interests of human progress. It is in their bearing upon the domestic policy of Great Britain, however, that we wish to cor- sider the new relations of things inaugurated by the present Cabinet. The admission of Mr. Cob- den, and the consequent identification of the ad- tmainistration with the principles of the Manches- ter school, we look upon to be one of the most important events that has occurred in Eagland during the last half century. Lord John Russel! bas evidently abandoned his finality nottons on the subject of Parliamentary reform, whilst Lord Palmerston means again to swallow, io regard to it, the declarations which he basso frequent}y made and violated. No other choice, we repeat, was left them; for from Disraeli’: magnificent generalities on the subject, it was to be inferred that if the Derby Cabinet were to re- main in office another session they meant to dis- tance their rivals in the way of innovations The whige, then, being prepared to accept Par- liamentary reform in its most extended sense, fare we to understand that they are ready to con- cede all its corollaries? Is the union of Church and State, that crying grievance in s population composed of so many different sects,to be dis- severed? Are its iniquitous temporalities to be Givided amongst the different creeds, or to be sppropriated to the relief of the poor and the Purposes of public education? Is the expendi- ture of the State, beginning with the Queen’s civil list, and ending with the sinecures held" by the papper members of the aristocracy, to be submitted to the pruning knife of the Manchester echool of financiers? These are questions that naturally suggest themeclves in presence of the fact of Mr. Cobden’s acceptance of office. It is not Jikely that be and the men with whom he acts would consent to sacrifice their indepen- deuce without the recognition of the objects for which they have so long and so energetically stroggled. If they are embraced in the new Ministerial compact, even though indeflaitely, then Great Britain is entering not merely upon an era of important party modifications, but of 4p immense social and political revolation, It would be singular if to Louis Napoleon be- longed the merit, not only of giving free institu- tions to Italy, but of helping to reform and re- invigorate those of constitutional England. A Crrovan From Our Democgatic Stars Cestrat Commrrrex.—A circular from Dean Richmond, chairman, and Peter Cugger, eecretary, of our Democratic State Ceatral Committee, will be found in another column. It bears the re- mote date of the 8h of June, from which it wilt appear that,while the avti-Regency aod aativ Tammany factions have been making considerable noige in reference to the Charleston Conventioa, the regency have been hard at work upon the more immediate business of the Syracase ‘Con- vention of September next. ‘The circular in question, prima facie, appears to be a fair snd conciliatory official manifesto in behalf of the reunion and consolidation of the party. Itcallsupoa the democracy of the ree pective counties to organize for the fall election, and urges “the immediate circulation of demo- cratic pepers, by an organized effort, ia every town, and, if possible, in every election district.” But then comes the cream of the document, ia the request to be informed immediately o1 “the names of your county committee and their Post Office address;” secondly, “the names und Post Office addrees of two active democrats in each election district in your cOunty,” &c., “to whom documents caa be sent for distribution, and with whom we msy correspond.” Mark that—“with whom we may correspond.’ ” Ofcourse Mr. Dean Richmond an¢ his right band man Peter have selected tbe parties to whom this circular has been seat, and if they have made a mistake bere and there it will not do much da mage to the general movement. The object given out iz, “a democratic triumph at the electioe next fall;” but we dare say that the committee have no more expectation of such a triumph thas the man in the moon. The real object of this cir. cular is the very thing which is kept entirely out of view—the Charleston Convention. Al! this magnanimous eolicitude for the democratic cause in-our “fall election” is sbeer gammon. The game of the regency is for those primary elec- tions of the party upon which will depend the peculiar stripe of the delegates to the autnmnai State Convention. Thus, having the machinery in their hands, the regency will have the power of packing the Convention to suit themselves; and from this aforesaid circular it is evident they do not intend to be caught napping, inasmuch as, with a controlling majority of their own in- struments at Syracuse, they will have the power of appointing at once a solid delegation of their own men to Charleston. When the plan of operations of the regency shall have been consummated, the poor hards will be informed by this aforesaid State Central Committee of the day and place for the State Convention for the nomination of a State ticket, &c., for our November State election, still keep. ing out of view the main iseue—the Charleston Convention. We presume, however, that the hards, anticipating the same treatment at Syra- cuse this year as that which they received last year, have made up their minds for the alterna- tive of a contesting delegation to Charleston. And this, we predict, will be the upshot of this business: first, a bolt of the hards from Syracuse; secondly, @ democratic defeat in our November election; thirdly, two democratic delegations to Charleston; fourthly, the admission of the hards upon equal terms with the softs; and lastly, a bolt by the softs, asin 1848. Let us watch the game. Asoruen Haut on THE Crry Treascry.— The Board of Councilmen, it appears, have been at another corrupt job, quite in keeping with their usual proceedings, whereby the City Treasury is in danger of being defrauded out of @ good round sum. The facts are these:— The Croton Water Commissioners last sum- mer, in accordance with their charter, adver- tised for proposals to build gates, a portion of aqueduct, &c., for the new reservoir in Ceatral Park. Eight or nine eatimates were submitted by responsible parties, and in October last the contracts were opened, and the award given to Baldwin & Jaycox, their estimate being some eighteen thousand dollars lower than either of the others, ‘This contract was seat to. the Board of Alder- men, and by them confirmed by nearly a unani- mous vote, since which time it has hung fire in the Board of Councilmen uatil last Monday, when it was called up, and instead of receiving the ap- proval of that body it was rejected, and a reso lution adopted directing the Croton Water Com- miseioners to make a loose open contract with Fairchild, Walker & Co. And aow it remains to be seen whether the Board of Aldermen wiil take the back track and adopt the contract originated by the Councilmen, thus opening up another fine chance to plunder the already depleted City Treacury. The Croton Aqueduct Board very properly and in accordance with law accepted the lowest bid. The Board of Councilmen, very improper- ly, but in accordance with their ususl custom, accepted thé highest. ———$—$——$_— Tae Focrm at Jonms’ Woon —Mersrs.
