"Toe next news from burope, which will be im- portant, owing to the fact that it will detail the circumstances which attended the conclusion of the armis Fravee and Austria, will reach us by the following vessels, which left the undernamed ports on the days indicated below, ice between Day of Departure. Destination uly 12... New York Juy The North Briton may reach Farther Point some wluch will put us in possession of tele- graphic reports four days later than the advices bronght by the Africa. By the arrival of the W. WU. Webbat New Orleans, atidan, we learn that a conspiracy had been discovered in Mexico to place General Mar- quez in power, and that he had subsequently de- clared in favor of Santa Anna. General Marquez had robbed the conducta from Guanajuato to San Blas of $600,000. General Miramon had changed his policy and made a complete change in his cabinet. We have three days later mails from California, via St. Louis. Our correspondence and extracts from our files contain details of the late escape of prisoners from the State Penitentiary, the latest commercial pews, the marriages and deaths, and other items of interest. - Some highly interesting facts regarding Quaran tine matters will be found under our Quarantine head in another column. ‘he distributing barge Pilgrim, in addition to the duties heretofore assiga- ed her, is going to be converted into a floating hospital, to be occupied by those arriving sick in port with diseases the character of which has not been fully developed. The Health Officer intends torenew his application for a steamboat, which the Health Commissioners denied to the Commis. sioners of Emigration, and in case of their refusal to extend the same, petition to the Quarantine Commissioners, and should the latter also retuse, to charter a steamboat on his own hook. In the report appears the correspondence between the Health Officer and Pilot Commissioners relative to compelling all vessels arriving hereafter from infected ports to anchor in the lower bay. Yesterday, at the meeting of the Health Commis- siovers, the arrival of three vessels from Havana, Ma- tanzas and Cardenas was announced by the Health Officer, two of which had each a case of yellow fever on board on their passages. Their detention at Quarantine was ordered, and the three ports from whence they came declared infected. A special com- mittee was authorized to mak” arrangements for re- moving dead avimals and offal from the city. The subject of hiring a steamer to communicate with the floating hospital was pronounced a subject over which the Board had no control. In the Supreme Court yesterday Judge Suther- land delivered an opinion in the case of the State of New York against the Metropolitan Gas Oom- pany, which appears to legalize the action of the Legislature in granting the charter to the company, and dofeuts the old monopoly gas companies in their endeavors to prevent competition. This is important to gas consumers. The citizens of Boston met in Faneuil Hall yes terday to express the public sentiment with refe- rence to the death of Mr. Choate. Hon. Edward Everett and Mayor Lincoln were among the speak- ers. During the proceedings the bells were tolled and flags were hoisted at half-staff. ‘The committee appointed on Saturday last to call amecting of the bar to testify the regret of the profession at the loss of the late Hon. Rafus Choate, of Muass., have named to-day at 12 o'clock, at which time the meeting will be held. Itis expect ed that ex-Judge Peabody, Wm. M. Evarts, Wm. Curtis Noyes, James T. Brady, Daniel Lord and Luther Marsh, Esqs., will address the meeting. The Police Commissioners yzsterday considered the case of Dr. Ives, charged with belonging to a political organization, but made no decision. In the course of the argument General Nye, late Com- missioner, admitted having collected money from the police force for the purpose of advancing Mayor ‘Tiemann’s election Captain Waterbury, of the Fourth precinct, died yesterday morning of slow consumption, Our re- port contains a sketch of his life. Charges have been made before the Police Com- missioners against Captain Carpenter, of the Six- teenth ward, for his action in the recent mysterious suicide case. The ecvance previously noticed in cotton was sustained yerterday, and the sales embraced about 2,000 bales, clos- ing with much steadicess on the bssis of quotations given in spother column. Fiour was ag«in beavy, aod lower for most descriptions, ebowiog in sowe cases a further desline of from 16c. to 26c. per barrel, while sales of all kinds ‘were mocerate, Wheat was heavy and lower. Good to Prime white Southern and Kentucky was sold at $1 40a $1 60, anc cnoice Southern red at $1 36. Corn was in fair demand, with sales of Jersey yellow at 38c, # 90c., and o” Southern white and Western mixed yellow from store on private terms. Pork was heavy and lower, with sales of new mess at $1560 a $1670, and prime at $11 378 $11 60. Beef and tard were in moderate request, and Prices without change of moment. Sugars were steady, with sales of about 1,000 hos st rates given in another column. Coffee was quiet. a fe w hundred bage Rio were wold at 11}é0. @11%4c Freight engagements were quite limited and rates unchanged. Brack Repvpiicay Stave Trapers—We pub- ish in another column the account of the seizure of # suspected slave trading ship at New Bed- ford, said to be the property of a New York house. This is a new electioncering dodge of the politicians. We should like to know who the biack republicans are that are concerned in thie affair, and bow many more slave ships are to be fitted out between this and the election of 1560 to affect the interests of the candidates? The Reistion of Kureps to the Nepoleonic Adeasr= Probdablittics of Peace. Twenty years ugo, whep Louts thitippe was most firmly seated on the throue of Frauce, anu. Lonis Napoleon was a poverty-str cken advea- turer, the latter pablishe? a pamphiet contain. ing a pbilosopbical aval ysis of the system, policy and causes of tbe fall of the first Napoleon, In this now remarkable. essay we aze told that Napoleon fell because, events pressing him too urgently, be copqnered too promptly, and antici- paring both !me aud men, he had no opportunity to er ment his alilapces aod to secure bis friend- sbips. That in fact he wished to complete in a day that which was the work of a geueration, aod to perform lo bis own lifetime what could ovly be dove fa au age. Louis Napoleon himself reems Getermined not to commit the error he has aczibuted to his uncle. Though his advance from a private station to the throne muy have bern a viclent one, siuce bis attaiument of mperial rule bis course bas been marked with tbat measured slowness which makes haste in re- cults, and with a moderation of sim which se- eurer success and Cements the fabric in process ! of erection, In the ten years which bave elapsed since he first came to power in France be bus stariled the word with po extravagant demand, no blinding -flulgence of genius, no avpouncement of aa all- pervuoing change to be effeced. Yet, if we took back und compare France or Europe of to- day with what it was ten years ago, we shall at once see how much he has aitwined, what yreut genius he bas displayed, and what an all- pervading change he bus wrought, Napoleonic ideas ure now remoulding the entire fuce of the Oid World without exciting that uatversal re- sistance which they did only fifty years ag» There is a reason for this, and it will be found ia the wltered relation between those ideas aoa ibe slotus of Europe. When the first French ution Ose to the astonished gaze of the dynastics, they soon recovered trom their amuze- went und banded together in one common eviort sgatust it, Napolron was the heir and testa- suentary executor of the revolution. He inherited its ennuties—it bad no friendships to bequeath. Hounged ou by the blind rage aud despotic ains of George the Third, all the Powers sailied ‘orth to crush him. Neither ruters nor subjects sould hsten to his ideas, although he biazeu them on the face of every country in Ewupe, except England, with indeliole scars. Hireliog writers in every tongue were subsidized to belie olm aba them, avd when bis meteor light was quenched n St. Heleva, the despots partitioned Europe, and fondly believed that bis ideas had Deeg ourtied withhim, From the shades of Loug- wood bis grophetic voice once more rang through (be world, tel ing it that before fifty yeara shoula elapse Europe would be Cossack or republican. Time was faithful to the prophecy of Napo- teun. Before forty years had run their courses trom Waterloo, revolution agaia rose in Europe It dawned in Italy in fierce resistance to the nated rule of Austria. Soon it swept over France, and involved Germany aud Hungary io us flames. Thrones went down before it like cbaff before the wind, but in a short time its tury was spent, and itself consumed by its owu excesses. Then came another Napoleon, again the heir and testamentary executor of the revo lution. But not this time to be branded of the despote, and bunted to death by their de ceived aud ill-paid minious. The Napoleonic ideas have become known to the world; rulers and subjects have had time to study them, and to eee them put in practice. Euglacd, which had been the first to condemn, is now the firet to applaud them. Spain has found them tobe her only safeguard. Russia received them over the parapet of Mula- koff, aud bas learned to appreciate them. Italy hus inbuled them till che is druuk with delight. Austria has stood face to face with them at Mon- ‘ebello, Mugenta and Svulferino, and cowed be- fore them. Prussia only, and a few of the minor German Statea, have yct to learn their worth. Tous has Europe come to a true appreciation of the Napoleonic ideas, and its crowned heads to accept them as the only bridge that will ourcy them sately over the abyes of revolation which yawns at their feet. They are about to come int Vongrces to discuss them, and to set them up, wstead of the iniquitous compacts of Vienna, ss the Jaw of the European contiuent. Iuto that Congress Louis Napoleon will come as thr master. mind. Should Austria refuse to ac quiesce ip his well-timed aud moderate behests, sbe will find herself isolated among the na- tions and given over to the destruction that will await her. For this work, and for the greater one of saving Europe from the possible complications tbat may ariee during the performance of the opera tion, France must arm. The armistice which has been agreed upon by the two Emperors will re- sound with the busy note of preparation on both sides, Armaments far exceeding in magnitude anything the world has yet witnessed will briag their weight to bear upon the minds of the’ pleni- potentiaries, and to cast before the shadow of coming events, This tact makes it probable that Europe is on the verge of peace agaio, which will last for a few years, until some other misguided monarch ehall attempt to obstruct the march of the Napoleonic ideas. fray Senastopor. anp Sourentxo—When the cap- ture ot the Malakoff and the Redan announced the fall of Sebastopol, people asked, “ What next?’ The eyes of all the world were fixed in the direction of Rassia, for outside of that terri- tory and the war whereof it was the scene there was little of interest to the world then. The next move looked for was an assault by Sir Charlee Napier on Cronstadt—perchunce against St. Petersbarg itself—or at least the advance of the victorious Allies towards the heart of the country in some direction. But, following quick upon the uews of the full of Sebastopol, to the stronichment of every one, came the intelligence that Louis Napoleon, having reaped all the glory—having elevated the eagles of France by the hands of his Celtic chiefs McMahon aud Pe- lussier over the Redan avd Malakoff—bad_pro- posed an armistice, which was accepted, with a prorpect of coming peace. So now with the battle of Solferino. After driving the Austrians from that long line of fif- teen miles, from point to point, until Lombardy was cleared of them, and taking up his position in front of their four great strongholds, the world again asked, “ What next?” The answer was reedy. The investment of Peschfera, a mur- cerous astuvit on Verona, the mastership of the invulnerable quadrilateral, percbance the bloody rout of the Hapsburgs from all [taly. But no, the French @aperor again proposes an armistice, and it is accepted. Tee result of the armfstice in the Crimea was the Congress of Paris—subsequently peace, aud an alliance be- twecn France aud her great Noribetn enemy, Russia. The fruits of the armistice signed at Villefranea fourteen days ago may be peace toor or it may be a renewal of hostilities, leaving Louis Napoleon immenerly strengthened for any future efforts, if it does wot leave him tbe com ete muster in Lorope, The Bible in the Pablic Schools of New Youb—Liugative in Prosyect. On another page we publish the minority re- port recently mude to the Board of Educativa upon the question of making the readiog of the Bible cowpuieory in all the common schools of this city. It appears that the majority of the Boord suddenly sprung a mine upon the misority, apd would not give tbem time to preseat a re- port in opposition to the action which t was ev'- dent the mujority had determined to take. The minority, however, drew ap their report, aad we now publish it that our readers may see both sidee, avd judge for themselves. Thie dooument is valuable as furnishing a history of the agitation aud legislation oa the subject for many years, and for a clear exposi- tion of the law asit now stands, defiuing thy respective powers of the Board of Education, aud of the local school trastces and committeve- Ir is contended in this report that the- majority of the Board, by their late action, have violacd the law, and have not the legat mgut to do what they have resolved to do. They have ordered that “all the public schools of this city under the jwisdiction of the Boerd of Education be opened by the reading of a portion f the Holy Scrip- wares, without note or comment,” under the pebaity of a forfeiture of the situations of the teachers who fail to comply. [ct is hard to say what this bungling laa guage really means. It dors not say “the echouls shall be opened duily,” aad a: the rule is to take effect after the vacattou is might mean that the schools should be ou that particular occasion opened by the reading of the Bible. Nor does it say that tae teacher is to rend the Bible. But we suppose the Board meant that the teachers should read the Bible at the opening of the schools every morning. This resolution uageuerously places the teach ers in a very unfair position. If taoy refuse to obey the Board their salaries will not be paid, if they do obey the Board, in those wards where the trustees refuse to allow the Bible to be read. theteachers will be dismissed, for the trustees have the undoubted right to appvint and to re move. The action of the Board of Educatioa is likely, therefore, to lead to great and expensivr litigation, It is probable that the teachers wil not obey the Board, their safest course beiag to obey the trustees, and that they will sue the Board by mandamus to compel the payment ot their eelaries. The law as it stands, while it probibits the Board of Education from excluding the Bibic from the schools, docs not give them permission to force ii into the schools, The words of the act are:—“But nothing herein contained shall sutborize the Board of Education to exclude the Haly Scriptures, without note or comment, or any selections therefrom, from any of the schools provided for by this act; but it shall not be com- petent for the Board of Education to decide what version, if any, of the Holy Scriptures, without note or comment, shall be used in any of the schools.” From this it is evident they have no power to compel the read_ ing of the Bible, and no power to exclude it. The only power they have is as to the supervision o other books, which they may exclude if secta tian, or rather may refuse the payment of the school moneys. It is clear, therefore, that jt rests with the local echool trustees to order the reading of the Bible or to exclude it. The re cent reeclution of the Board renders it compul cory, but this is undoubtedly illegal. The system under the law asit stands has been found to work well for the last fourteen years, Why disturb it now by any despotic by- law? If the Board were not satisfied with the law, they ought to have gone to the Legislature and had it changed, but they had no right to take the law into their own hands by an arbi- wary proceeding. They are expressly forbiddea to meddle with the Bible in any shape or form. The Bible was before read in all the schools except those of the Fourth, Sixth, and a portion of the Fourteenth wards. In these latter it never was read asaregular exercise, and the absurdity of the Board forcing it now, even if they had the power, is evident, for the local teustees might direct that one of the chapters about genealogy should be read, or that the French, Italian or Spanish versions be read, which would completely defeat the object of the Board. Our common schools have prospered in despite of the anathemas of Archbishop Hughes, who opposes the public school system here, as the Catholic Archbishop McHale, backed by Protest- ant bigots, does in Ireland, though the other Catholic bishops and clergy, as well as the ma- jority of the Protestants there, are in favor of it. They have prospered here in despite of the op- position of Protestant bigots, who would force the sacred volume {ato every school against the wishes of the trustees and the parents of the chijdren. There are many who have too pro- found a reverence for the Bible to approve of its use as a echool book. I* they should happen to be the majority in any ward, surely their feel- ings ought to be respected. The Board ought to have let well enough alone, and not provoked an agitation which may do a great deal of mischief. It may break up our common school system, But we hope it will rather break up and rout the fanatics, like the Sabbatarians, who are insisting on a Puritanical observance of Sanday, but will eoon find their whole intolerant code ewept away from the statute book. The Biblicals may find that the result of their present attempt will be to exclude the sacred volume entirely from the schools. There are only two modes of public education One is that it should be entirely secular, and the other that it should be both eecular and religious together. The latter is the plan contended for by Archbishop Hughes on one side and by a few Protestants on the other. These parties would make education sectarian by teaching the children of each sect in separate schools. The other mode is that which is practically adopted ia New York, and fs certainly the best. The mere reading of 8 portion of the Bible in the way In which it is read has no religious or moral tendency, and, as fur as that object is concerned, were better omitted. If a selection were made consisting ot the sublime precepts of Chriet, without the his- torical and doctrinal parte, which children can- not understand; and if these were cut out and arranged in a book, after the manner in which ‘Thomas Jeiltrson arranged them fur his own use, Lo pertou could fairly object to the reading of this compilation, if read with becoming reve- renee, aud would make no difference from what NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1859. bo} Board of Education themselves would pay som: attention to these precepts, of which they appre: to lose Fi, ht, it would de thea no harm.

Inu our ehort but gloerivue campaign in Mexico we admiuistered a whole- some lesson to tbat republic, though, we arr ~orTy to say, it bas not proved to be of any lust wg besefit, In fact, deplorable as war is, it is almost a necessary clement in the great work of teaching butions to kuow themrelves, Fortu- oate are the people whose rulers bave the good -epse to percieve that reverees aud defeats are cot without their great uses, avd tbat present adversity may be made the source of future prosperity. When Russia went into the Eastern war, some ‘ive peure ago, che did co in the full confidence hat,es a great military Power, sbe was pre- pared to meet ol] the eventualities of the conflict Alma, Inkerman, and the tall of Sebastopol opéeceived her in that respect. She then discerned that in spite of ber great mili- tary apd naval resources, her vast empire und lerge population, she was unable to cope wih rations who stood in the vanguard of civilization, and whose resources were much more fully developed than her own. Alexander, with nope,of the obstinacy, had much of the prudence of the great founder of bis empire, who frankly confessed to a Swedish officer that be had eustained defeat after defeat at tne bands of Charles the Twelfth, until he had leara- ed to fight him, and finally to overthrow him, as he did st the battle of Pultowa. Alex- ander did not imitate Peter in this, so far as to continue a conflict in which be eaw himself the weaker party; but when the Malokoff yielded before the impetuous and irre- sistible onslaught of the fiery Frank, he gladly accepted terms of peace, and brought the war to a termination. Brief as the campaign was, it lasted long enough to convince him that if he ever meant to engage such udversarics with suc- cees, he must first develope the wealth and re- sources of his vast empire; and to that work he bas since earnestly devoted himself. The im- menee systems of railroads, telegraphs, and other great works of internal improvement which have been engaging the attention of the Ruasian government for the last four years, are evi- dences of the good effect of the lesson of the Cri- mean war, The Austrian empire, if it be not too fatuitously wedded to ite dark, despotic and anti progressive policy, may, \ike Russia, learn a salutary lesson from the results of that brief, and, to it, inglo- rious campaign, which has won back Northern Italy to freedom. Three months have hardly elapsed since Francis Joseph, confiding in his immense and well disciplined army, boasted that he would teach Louis Napoleon a Jesson. The French Emperor, when he heard of the boast, is said to bave quietly remarked that it would reqaire ao older head than the young Kaiser’s to teach him: And now where do they stand respectively? The Austrian bas seen bis hosts scattered and dis comfitted, flying from every field where they met their enemy, while the Frencbman has moved calmly on from victory to victory until he has cleared Lombardy of every hostile German; and it he does not now give the word which would cause the dismemberment of the proud Austrian em- pire, itis only because his magnanimity or his prudence restrains him, The leseon to be acquired by Austria from this Conflict is that the days for a backward policy are past, that progress is the order of the day, und that the democratic element is a neces sary ingredient in all thriving nationalities. If Austria had not been so besotted as to close her eyes to these truths for the past ten years, it ehe had accommodated herself, even in a elight degree, to the spirit of the ege, she might have been spared much of the humiliation that has be fallen her. There is no better, braver or more dis- ciplined army in the world than that which hes been beaten back, step by step, from the Ticiav to the Mincio. But its officers were unfit to com mand it. Their movements were marked by io- accision, their tactics antiquated, and they failed to inspire their men with that confidence which is indispensable to success. The reason of this is that inthe Austrian army promotion is not the prize of merit, but of influence at Court Bravery and skill are sure to be recognized in any other army; but tu theirs these qualities are of no account, unless exhibited by a member ot the aristocracy. Since 1815 Austria has had no wars except those waged by her revolted pro- vinces in 1848; and then, us now, she came out second best. But if she intends to bold a place in Europe she must abandon forever her cun- cordate, ber exclusiveness and her cruel aug tyrannical despotiem. She must turn over « new leat, and liberalize not only ber political institutions, but her army. Let ber do this, learn a lesson from the French army, avd from her preseat humiliation may come her future greatness, Such are war's lessons, Te Next Maroratry.—The question of the next Mayoralty is beginning to create a great deal of stir in our city politics Some of the politicians talk of Fernande Wood; but we thiak be will seck higher game—the making of a Pre- trident and its contiogencice, Othors speak of Fowler, the Postmaster, and of Kennedy, oue of the sachems of Tammany Hall; while some mea- + version the selections weee made.

The depreciation of government and other securities ia England was estimated at seven bundred millions of doilars, and for the whole ot Barope could not bave fallen short of fifteen hundred. That was the immediate financial effect of the wer news. The news of the armistice has had a somewhat similar effect, thougo of course ia av opposite direction, und notin the eame degree, English copsols attained a rise of one aud teree- quarters per cent, French rentes two aud-s-half, Austrian metailiques ten, and French railway sbares from tweoty to thirty. Sardinian stock, which at the time ot the first panic tell from eighty-one to rixty-five, was sent up again by the events of the war and the news of the armistice to cighty-three. It is impuesible to approach anything like a correct estimate of the effect ot this excitement on the market value of stocks in Europe. We can, however, see its effect on government secu- rities, aud that will enable us to form some judg- ment as to its general effect Natumal debt, Rise per cent, Espaivalent to Groat Britain, $4,000,000,000 1% 870,000,000 France 1,760,000" 660 ct 51,000,000 Austr 1,600,600,000 10 60,000 000 Sardinia ...... 180,000,000 18 27/000,000 govern Total rive in the securities of the four MEDLB. .400s000 000 +00 60005 48298,000,000 Thus the news of the armistice produced witbin one day arise in the goverument secu- rities of theee four nations equivalent in the ag- gregate to about three buodred millions of dol- lars. If we were to triple that sum to represent the rise in all the government avd public securi- ties of Europe, we wouid hardly be outside of tbe mark.

The fight at Magenta, though grievously disastrous to the Austrians, and fraught with giory to their adverearics, perhaps cannot be considered a de cisive action, for the Austrians claim that it wes @ surprise, and, though gallantly met, the result wight have been expected. But it was other wise at Solferino, Here the Austrians chose their own grouud, took up a strong line of pusi- Hobs on ground well kuown to them, and, more- over, it was they who meditaed a eurprise this time. Yet, in spite of all these advautages, added to their greater numbers, the defeat was complete aud overwbelaung, aud an armistice is the iomediate result, Soltero, then, may be claseed among the dec’sive bartivs of the world.
