The News, The steamship Europa arrived at Halifax from Liverpool at oue o'clock yesterday afternoon, Her news, which is to the 16th inst., three days later than that received by the North Briton, was immediately expressed to Sackville, N. B., where it arrived about four o'clock this morning. Un- fortunately, however, owing to the prevalence of thunder showers at the eastward, it was impossible to telegraph the news to New York from Sack- ville in time for our morning edition. It will in all probebility be published in our afternoon edi- tions of to-day. The steamship Moses Taylor is due at this port from Aspinwall, with the semi-monthly Pacific mails and passengers and treasure that left San Francise on the 5th inst. We gave yesterday a history of the Italian war. To-day we give an account of the revolutionary elements that entered into it, and the course of events which they have followed. It will be found at this time particularly interesting. By the arrival of the British bark Nuggett, Capt. Doane, we have news from East Caicos, Turks Islands, to 16th inst. Capt. D. reports that very heavy rains had prevailed previous to his arrival, but the weather had become settled, and salt was making fast in the pans. The stock on hand was about 100,000 bushels. The captain of the port was having buoys laid down to facilitate the departure of vessels with southerly winds, which will be of great benefit to navigators. We have advices from Great Salt Lake City to the 29th ult. There were prospects of an abun- dant harvest, and Elder Orson Hyde had counselled the people to commence storing grain for a coming famine. Emigration was unusually brisk. Fifteen of the surviving children of the Mountain Meadow massacre had left for Fort Smith. Brigham Young and his three brothers preached at the funeral of their sister Fanny, in the Tabernacie, on the 12th ult, when Brigham gave utterance to some spiritual- istic sentiments. In the Board of Supervisors last evening, the re- port of the committee for raising money to meet county expenditures was taken up and referred back. No business of importance was transacted, and the Board adjourned to Tuesday next. By our report of the proceedings of the Police Commissioners yesterday, it will be seen that the Board have abolished the office of roundsman. By this movement some ninety additional men are added to the active patrol force, while the sergeants and other. officers are to exercise the functions that formerly devolved upon the ronndsmen. Coroner Jackman yesterday held an inquisition in the case of Robert C. Macdonald, who shot Vir- ginia Stewart in Broadway on Saturday last. The evidence was clear and conclusive against the pri- soner, and after the rendition of the verdict of the ury and the u: r minaries, Macdonald was committed to prison to await the action of the Grand Jury. Throughout the proceedings the pri- soner was quite collected. Miss Stewart yesterday was in the same condition as previously reported. At Singapore, on the 13th of May last, gold dust rated as follows:—Malayan, $28 50 a $29; Austra- lian, $31 per bunkal. By direction of the City Inspector, yesterday the Superintendent of Sanitary Inspection, aided by a strong corps of health officers and policemen, proceeded to disperse the pigs and demolish the bone boiling establishments up town. They suc- ceeded tolerably well, and placed quite a number of pigs in the public pound, and also induced the proprietors of the piggeries to agree to submit peaceably to the laws. But alas! for the laurels of the Superintendent and his forces; while they were refreshing themselves after the fatigues of the day, and complimenting each other in speeches, and the flowing bow] was briskly passing around, the unscrupulous hog owners broke into the pound, released the imprisoned swine, and led them, grunting joyously, back to their own com" fortable styes. Such are the accounts from the seat of war, as reported in another column. The cotton market was again firm yesterday, and closed with an upward tendency in prices, The eales embraced about 2,500 bales, closing stiff on the basis of qnotatioas given in another column. The receipta at the ports since the Ist of September Jast amounted to 3,061,000 bales, agairst 8,040,000 in 1858, 2,899,000 in 1867, and 3,467,000 in 1856. The exports have been 2,896,000 bales, against 2,512,000 in 1858, 2,206,(60 in 1657, and 2,902,000 in 1858, The stock on hand embraces 171,000 bates, against 125,000 in 1868, 110,060 in 1857, 78,000 in 1866, and 166,009 in 1866. State and Western brands of four were again heavy and jower, but more active at the decline. Sono purchases of the lower grades were made for export. Some new Georgetown was received, the first of the sea- son, It wes of bandeome quality, and held at $7. Old Southern brands were heavy and prices irregular. Prime new wheat was in better request and prices firm, While old was dull and neglected. Corn was heavy and cheaper, though with less pressure toell on the part of holders. York was thactive, with moderate sales, inslud- ing new meets at $1560, clear mess at $18, thin do. at $14.60, and prime at $10 50.0 $1075, Beef and Iard were dull, Sugars were frm and in fair demand from the trade and for reSuing : the gales embraced about 1,100 hhds, and 0€0 boxer Havana, and 2,500 bags Pernambuco, all at rates given im another place, Coffee, in view of an suc- ‘tion rale soon to come off, was quiet : the $4,000 bags, of Which about 20,000 were Rie, "eae el mate of Java.

The Revolutionary Element in the Late ‘War. The revolutionary feeling in Hurope has been one of the : rongest elements used by Louis Na- poicon ins recent conflict with Austria, and he has m «ged i¢ with Consummate skill, Wo give a his; 'y of the movements in another coluvia. Se time before the war Prince Napoleon, w plays the part of the heir apparent liberal the Napoleonic dynasty, entered into commu- cations with the Italian Revolutionary Commit- tee in London, and an entente cordiale #98 s00n. ar- ranged between them, all the leaders except Maz- zini entering into the scheme. The French red e | in Tepublicans, who have long been becoming more dim before the brightening glories of the empire, were of course ignored; but there was another element among the revolutionists whose co-ope- ration it was desirable to secure. This was the Hungarian element. Difficulties for some time stood in the way of a fraternization between the first of absolutists and the self-styled liberals of Hungary. The chief of these difficulties undoubt- edly was the abeurd aim of Kossuth to be sove- reign of the kingdom of Hungary. This not only did not accord with the sagacious views of Lonis Napoleon, but it had sown great dissensions amcng the Hungarian liberals themselves. This diffculty was skilfully got over by the stipula- tion on the part of the French Emperor and the Hur garians that Hungary should have the right of choosing her own sovereign. This united the hitherto divided Hungarians, and brought them all into the French alliance. The part which the revolutionary clement has Played in the war has been a telling one, Italy bas everywhere poured out her youth for the battle field, and they have been *slaughtered by thousands. The Italian National Committee has labored heartily and successfully. Garibaldi has proved himeelf one 0° the right arms of the liberating Briareus, and fully justified the posi- tion he took when upbraided for entering a ser- vice where Louis Napoleon was supreme. “I look upon him,” said he, “as a means which Di- vine Providence has created for the liberation of Italy, and as such I avail myself of him.” The Hungarians have played a no lees important part. Count Bethlen was placed on Louis Na- poleon’s staff, Count Kiss accompanied Prince Napoleon to Tuscany, Klapka began to organize the Hungarian legion at Genoa, and Kossuth went to Parma, where he played the king and fool with guards and royal para- phernalia, just as he did when he first came to New York. The fidelity of the Hungarian regi- ments in the Austrian army was shaken, and Hungary itself was flooded with revolutionary proclamations. This diminished the disposable forces of Austria for the campaign, by rendering the presence of a large army necessary in Hun- gory, just as the placing by Russia of a corps of observation on the frontier of Gallicia rendered another Austrian army necessary there. ‘Thus has the revolutionary element contributed to the recent result of the campaign in Italy. The question now is: Willit be satisfied with what has been achieved? We think that for the present it will. Recent revelations show that what has occurred was foreseen and pro- vided for by Louis Napoleon. In the arrange- ment with the National Italian Committee it was stipulated that should Lonis Napoleon wish to make a peace after the liberation of Lombardy he could do eo, preserving the boundary of the Adige, and leaving Venetia to Aus- tria, This is what has been done. If the great quadfilateral is divided, half of it, with Pes. chiera and Mantua, going to the new kingdom of Northern Italy under Victor Emanuel, and half, with the fortresses of Verona and Legnago, remaining to Austria, this division of the hia- toric square, which has hitherto been looked upon as amenace for Italy and for Germany, con- verts it into a respective defence. The stipula- tions with Italy have been fulfilled, and thus far even with moderation on the part of France, for she has not demanded Savoy for herself and Tuscany for Prince Napoleon, as was agreed. These points have probably been left to be arranged with the whole Italian Confederation, It may be that the Hungarians profess dis- satisfaction at the early conclusion of the was. But that this will be so is not certain, nor is the probubility borne cut by past events and the re- velations that have thus far been made. It has nowhere been stated that Louis Napoleon agreed to liberate Hungary, and the proclamations of Koesuth—particularly the one he sent here—are conditional in their promises and contemplate only a possible movement. It would seem that he went into the conflict with two certainties only: one the reuniting pf the liberal Hungarian leaders with himself, and the other the infliction ofa severe wound on Austria. Both of these have been attaincd. Austria is humbled, and Klapka and his friends labor henceforward joint- Jy with Koeeuth for their common country. One other great result has been achieved for the revolutionary element of Europe, by the skill with which Louis Napoleon has managed it, The really good, progressive und construc- tive portion of it has been separated from its baneful contact with the destructives, Mazzini, Ledru Rollin, and the firebrands who proclaim that the people of Europe will require no arms to protect their rights as long as lucifer matches exist, have been left stranded on the reefs of Time laid bare by the advancing waves of pro- gress in public opinion. The Italian portion of | the constructives have now work to do in the erection of the fabric of the Italian Confedera- ticn. They must remember that such a work cannot be performed in a day, and that a satia- ficd nationality is a thing of moderation in change and meagured steps in growth. In thus demonstrating his skill and ability to mould the | present into accordance with the future, Louis | Napoleon is proving to the dynasties and nations of Europe that he is the bridge of safety which shall carry them across the yawning gulf of revo- jution. Tur Scnpay Quvestioy iw Sr. Lotts.— While New York is agitated with the Sunday question, in reference to the right of the people to indalge in a glaes or two of lager bier, publicly or pri- vately, on the Sabbath; while Philadelphia is agitated with the more startling question of the right of the people to ride in the city railroad cars on Sunday es well asin private carriages, we find the Sunday question in St. Louis assum- ing still another shape. A recent law there legalizes the aale of liquors at certain periods during the day (Sunday). Nine hundred citi- zens have petitioned fora repeal of the ordi- nance, and the has directed the submis- | sion of the matter to a vote of the people on the first Monday in August, And that’s fair, Let the will of the | people 1, Let tle same line of | action the premicse ba adopted j Let & patty be organized he-o, for exavinle fevor ot r¢ » S ay in ou Supdey, in acy 13 GF civil the conatitation of the United States, and let this new party make the Sunday question the peramount issue to all candidates for public offices, great and emall, in our November and December elections, and we shall get a popular | verdict or two that will go very fur to settle the quedilon on this ieland for the next twenty years. ‘The question isup. Itis a great and compre- hensive question, and shrinking and mousiag Politicians are afraid of it; but the working classes of our city people, with whom the right of wholesome recreation on Sunday isa right of the highest value, should compel the politicians to face the music. And they will have to do it in November and in December, or we are very much mistaken in our estimates of the pressure of these Sabbatarian movements upon the limited scelal enjoyments of the great mass of our city population, The Latest Phase of Kuropean Affaire-No Peace for the Wicked. We presume that almost every one has forgot- ten the peace agitation which was commenced by some British philosophers twelve or fifteen years ago, and which resulted in the forming of seve. ral societies having for their object the hasten- ing of the time when the swords shall be beaten into praning hooks, and the spears into plough- shares; when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together; when the Frenchman shall love the Englishman as a, brother, and when the Ger- man shall clasp the Gaul to his bosom. The operations of the Society were to be felt in hea- then lands as well as in those blessed with the light of Christianity. The East was to be converted, the Hindoo tamed, the Tartar hordes brought to a sense of ‘their barbarous condition, and the reign of peace, love and tranquility to be epeedily inaugurated in ail regions accessible to the missionaries of the society. Co-operating with these men of peace, have been found cer- tain politicians of what is termed the Manchester school, who argue that itis not good to go to war, because it arrests the material progress of the combatants, diverts the industry of the coun- try into wrong channels, increases the debt, heightens the taxes, and, ia fact, dees not pay in any possible manner ‘Yet, although the Peace Society and the Manchester men still flourish ia England, and exercise no small influence in political affairs, we do not ‘find any diminution of wars, nor any reduction in the ar- mies, nor any decline in the martial spirit of the peoples. Since the peace agitation took an or- ganized form Europe has been several times on the brink of a general war, and the roar of artil- lery has hard!y been stilled during ten years. First came the events of 1848, with war in France, Germany, Hungary and Italy. Then the Crimean contest, in whick five European Powers were engaged. Then the Persian, Chinese and Indian wars; and lastly, the sanguinary con- flicts of Montebello, Magenta and Solferino, staining anew the plains of Lombardy, already sodden with human blood. And now the eight weeks of slaughter are over, and there is peace—that rest which the gorged tiger takes before he starts from his jun- gle in search of a new victim. Not even the Manchester men can reag the history of Europe for the last half century and believe that either England or Germany are gafe while a Napoleon gives the laws from the Tuileries, Montaigne eays that the chief characteristic of the French ns- tion is valor. Thus, we say he is a valiant man, when we mean to pay the highest compliment to a Frenchman. What was true in the day of the great eseayiat is true te-day. From his cradle the Frenchman is taught to hate all the ancient enemies of his country, and especially to detest the English. It would be difficult at this mo- ment to Jay one’s finger on a Frenchman, at home or abroad, who would not feel satisfaction at the invasion of perjide Albion by the Army. of the Alps, flushed with victories and drunk with German blood. The Emperor of the French, anxious to make for himself a great military name, and feeling that St. Helena is yet to be revenged, fosters this feeling in every possible way. In all the schools throughout the Empire the orders of the day and military bulletins were read to the pupils to inspire them with that mili- tary ardor which, under the firet Napoleon, won the battles of Marengo, Austerlitz and Wagram, “out of the fire,” and which, ia this latter day, held the bridge of Magenta against an over- whe) ming force, and pierced the Austrian centre at Solferino. From the vicdlle moustache who stumps about the courtyards of the Invalides to the youngest élevé of the Lycée Bonaparte, it is the same old feeling—the glory, the invulnera- bility, the invincibility of the French arms, That this state ot feeling is well understood in England is quite clear. Lord Lyndhurst lately made a remarkable speech, urging upon Minis- ters the absolute necessity of increasing the British army and navy. He deprecated, in the strongest manner, the idea of depending upon the “forbearance” of France: Englishmen should not put too much faith in their ancient enemy and recent ally. Stcam, said the noble lord, had placed the English and French navies on an equality. The boasted superiority of Britain on the sea had departed. Opposed to the Eng- lish army of one hundred thousand men, France brings to the field four hundred thousand tried soldiers, to whom fighting is pleasantry; finer troops than they never followed adrum, The Cassandra warnings of Lord Lyndhurst have not been unnoticed by the Emperor of the French. The speech has been translated, and coptes distri- buted from one end of France to the other—trom Paris to the Pyrenees and from the Channel to the borders of the Rhine, The prefects have been charged to make every Frenchman ac- quainted with the sentiments entertained of the Emperor by the English. The commandants of military posts and naval depots, the officers of men-of-war and mobilized troops, are ordered to have the speech read upon their parade grounds, at the heads of their regiments, or from their quarter decks. This is done partially te inflame the old feud still higher, and partially to make the French acquainted with the fact that the in- vasion of England is not looked upon by Eng- lishmen in high places as a thing so utterly absurd as it was said to be forty years ago. In a common sense view of the matter, this does not look well for the Peace Soviety. Then, in Germany, there is an undying hatred for all the Napqleons. Prussia keeps her bayonets bright and her powder dry, and the Iron Cross still re- mains ready for distribution. Austria is cowed but not humbled. Russia has by no means relinquished her designs in the East. The revolutionary party will rest a while, but is ready at any moment to light the fires of ctvil war in Hungary and Italy; and thus it will be till the great battle between the suporstitions and prejudices of medimval times and the ideas of the nineteenth century is ended. The Em- | perorof the French hae placed himself at the He cannot recede That be is equal new crusade, eu if be wor ty to, and, indeed, master of the situatins We have Dever doubted for an inetant. The prw@ of Villafranca merely postpones further action KT a brief modern geueration, Meanwhile the peace philosophers must “wait a Jittle longer.” The dove fiads no resting place-the laurel and the cypress still wave «bove the olive branch. Whe City as a Watering Place-Rusurban Pleasures, While some of the people of the rural dis tricta, such as Cincianati, are groaniag over the excessive altitude of the thermometer; while correspondents at Niagara Falls are declaring the dusty village to be the hottest and most dis- agreeable place on the face of the earth; while the regular watering places are but little cared for, their habitués rasting with their own dulaess, we, of the metropolis, are favored with a cool and delicious atmosphere, the temperature just sufficiently elevated to suggest the delights of summer, without its désagrémens. Thanks to cer tain enterprising caterers for the public amuse ments, the town is now as gay a3 at any other season of the year. The suburbs, with na ture in her best attire, have already be- come the chief summer resort of the great me- jority of our over worked and closely lodged po- pulation. Thanks to Colonel Delavan, we have cleaner etreeta, and, by consequence, a purer at- mosphere, than we have enjoyed for many & summer, It is quite needless to say how far all these things go to preserve the health of the city, which, if properly governed, might be as free from pestilence er epidemic diseases as the healthiest country villages, say Philade)phia and Boston, for example. Yesterday was a most delicious Sabbath, A fine, clear sky, the thermometer just at sum- mer heat, everything joining to make a day thoroughly enjoyable for all classes—for the rich, who rolled in their sumptuous carriages to theic splendid churches, reclined lazily on laxu- rious velvet cushions, enjoyed delightful music, dozed through anesthetic sermons, and then rolled home to their cool dining rooms, where they enjoyed feasts that Lucullus might have envied, and sipped the deares: vintages of Bor- deaux and Champagne and the sunny Rhine, for the comfortable, well-to-do classes, who en- joyed the luxuries of the rich in a more unpre- tending way; but, over all, for the wan artisan, who seized upon Heaven’s own holiday to give to his wife and little ones a taste of fresh country air, with the sight of green trees, vernal fields, splendid landscapes, and the hear- ing of the chef d’ceuvres of the master composers, who give to the music that surrounds us voice, form, and harmonic coloring. Thus were grati- fied on yesterday at Jones’ Wood the eye and the ear that, jaded with unceasing toil, became inspired with pleasures all the more enjoyable because £0 rarely experienced in a country where, from various causes, the practical comes always before the ideal, the useful before the beautiful. No one can read the accounts of our reporters of the ecenes at the Central Park, Jones’ Wood and other suburban resorts yesterday, without feeling in his heart that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. ‘Dhousands of well dreased, orderly, quiet, respectable men and women thronged the avenues, strolled in the parks, listened to the music, dined al fresco, en- joyed the good things of the season with modera- tion, slept well, and will, we doubt not, proceed to their daily labor this morning with lighter hearts and more willing hands. For our own part, we believe that the rapid progress of the Central Park, and the conse- quent tendency of our people to outdoor enjoy- ments, are working a mighty revolution in the mental and physical condition of our people; and not in one class, but in all. When the broad drives and shaded walks in the Park shall be completed, the vacant lots in its vicinity crowned with splendid mansions and adorned with palatial hotels, there will be no summer re- sort in the Union equal to its metropolis. We believe that that time is close at hand, and that the efforts of Colonel Delavan will result in re- moving from our city the reproach of being the dirtiest in the world. We have every natural advantage. New York, to-day, is a pleasanter city than London or Paris, where the summer is the most agreeable and gayest season of the year. On either cide of our city flows a mighty river, not stagnant like the Taames, nor dull, shallow and turgid like the Seine, but deep, clear, refreshing, and flowing with resistless tide to the ocean, which is almost at our city gates. In the upper part of the island, from Fiftieth street to where the beautiful faubourg of Washington Heights crowns the lordly Hud- son, there is every variety of scenery that the eye can wish for. When this splendid ground- work shall bave been elaborated, and its nataral beauties brought out and heightened by the hand of art, New York will be the finest city in the world. Then the sammer will be as gay as the winter; the Opera, theatres and all public amusements will flourish equally as well in July as in November; there will be no dull season for the hotels or retail dealors. And that,time will come sooner than the old fogies and Sabbata- riahs have any idea of. Their efforts to arrest it will be about as fruitful as an attempt fe bale out the Atlantic ocean or dam up Niagara Falls, Mr. Breckrnrince Any THR Kentucky Dr- mocracy.—There is an active faction of the de- mocracy of Kentucky opposed to the Presiden. tial or Senatorial aspirations of Vice President Breckinridge. The Paducah Zerald, a prominent democratic paper of said State, says there is a suspicion afloat that the friends of Mr. Breckin- ridge are ‘“‘maneuvring to give the vote of Ken- tucky in the Charleston Convention in favor of the odious heresies of Douglas,” and even “for Judge Douglas himselfas the nominee for the Presidency, if found that the Vice President can- not get the nomination.” And, accordingly, Mr. Breckinridge is warned that he can never get from the Kentucky democracy 0 hearty sapport while this aforesaid suspicion continues to exist in their minds. But the truth is, that the speciai difficulty with the Vice President is a Kentucky rival in the person of Mr. Guthrie, poor Pierce's Secretary of the Treasury. And <o, in all pro- bability, Kentucky, between these two men, like Virginia between Wise and Hunter, or New York between Dickinson and Seymour, or Georgia be- tween Cobb and Stephens, or Mississippi between Davis and Brown, will fail to gvt the Charleston nomination. New York, either upon Marcy or Dickinson, might have secured the Baltimore no- mination of 1852 had either consented to give way to the other. But ‘he delogatton of New York were stubbornly divided between Marcy and Dickineon, and so i Tonvention finally settled down upon Pier¢ Vil! this not be the game at Charleston if Wike and ooylus can be shaken off Very likely; aud if W can’t be qeskin of ‘bere will be au eagloncs Tun Covtege Regarra Yusrerpay—Pro- GREss OF ATuLeTIc Sports —I¢ was remarked by ap Eng'eh jouroa' some time ago, that the men of America were becoming physivaliy degene- rate very rapidly. The absence of thove athletic and muecle-developing sports so common among the youth of England undoubtedly tended to re- duce our young men to effemivacy ; but a great revolution bas taken place in thisreapect. Withio @ few years we have made wonderful progress in the cultivation of manly exercises. Yachting, rowing, cricket and base ball are now the uni- versal diversions of the youth in this country. Clubs for the encouragement of all these amuse- ments ex'st almost everywhere, and we shall bave in the rising generation a muscular de- velopement which may shame our British friends. Our yachtemen are beginning to tuke long sea stretches, in place of the fresh water dabbling to which they used to confine themselves, Almost every level green sward around New York has its party of base ball players and cricketers, and every river and harbor its rowing matches. So great bas the passion for rowing become that the colleges have taken it up and formed rowing clubs, like those at Eton and other English colleges, We are led to these reflections mainly by the fact that a splendid rowing regatta came off yes- terday at Worcester, Massachusetts, between the boat clabs of Yale and Trinity Colleges, and Har- vard and Brown Universities, the prizes for which were furnished by the city. This affair met with 20 much éclai that the banks were shut and businees suspended during the day. The description and result of this novel regatta we give in another colamn. The following table will show the fastest time tmaade by the college boats in previous regattas, compared with that of yesterday. It should be borne in mind, however, that in most of the races in which the time is here recorded the boats were rowed by picked crews, while ia that which took place yesterday the oarsmen were all students :— fre Springdeld suiy at 1858 8 asi. 8, pr July 21, is Neried, Yale.

The games of cricket and base ball may be said to be the rival games of England and America, the latter being peculiar to this country; and ot the two we think it is the better game for deve" loping the muscles and improving the conforma- tion of the chest and body generally, for the rea- son that while cricket is played a good deal on the stoop, and with the head downwards, in base ball the head is mostly erect, the face tarned up wards, and the stroke made with uplifted arms and a consequent expansion of the chest. Next to ewimming, which is the finest exercise in the world—all the muscles being brought into fall play, while the body is extended with a graeefal curve, and the head elevated to its natural posi- tion—we think base ball is the best exercise. Row- ing, too, has the peculiar advantage of bringing every muscle into action, from the fingers to the very toes, at the same time that the motion of the arms is an exercise for the chest, like that ot the dumb bell, A great cricket match is to come off at Hobo- ken daring the first or second week in Septem- ber, between eleven English and twenty-two American players. In alluding to this game, our Canadian neighbor, the Montreal Advertiser, remarks that the American players are ‘“‘Eaglish by birth,” and, in the same spirit which evoked the comment of the English journal referred to, complacently adds:— Nobody supposes that native Americans can play cricket, or any other game requiring muscular force, agility and en- durance.” We were under the impression that some games requiring all these qualities were pretty well played at Bunker Hill and Chippewa, and if our neighbor would pay a visit to the Central Park when its ball ground is in good order, we promise him that he will sce a little more of it there among our base ball clubs. Another manly and healthful exercise, we are glad to perceive, is becoming very popular—that is horse riding. Most of our young men who can afford it keep good riding horses, and in- epiriting exercise in the saddle is fast superseding the lees useful one in the wagon or the sulkey. [In a year or two we shall have a display of horse flesh and horsemanship in the Central Park that no city in the world need blugh for. Let us go shead with our athletic sports, for when we have tough muscles and broad cheats we will want no doctors, Tse Banke INrErEsTs aNp THE Pxack 1N Evrore.—In view of the certain results to the commercial and money interests of this country arising out of the late war and the present peace, it behooves the bank managers to hold a tight rein, or there will be financial trouble next fall. We had occasion to observe in our monetary column yesterday, that many of the banke in this city are falling into the same error from which all the mischief of 1857 eventuated. The termi- nation of the Crimean war found our banks com- paratively contracted; but the necessities of Eu- rope demanding large exports of goods to this market, by the sale of which to provide for the expenses of the war, our banks immediately ex- panded, until, like the frog in the fable, they burst, ard disaster widespread and destructive fell upon the commercial community. The des- perate attempt they made to contract when the coming storm was visible only increased the trouble ard hastened it on. Now, we perceive, the news of peace in Ea- rope finds many of our banks expanded to unsafe proportions. Let these rash institutions take warning in time. The experience of two year ago should teach them something. Are we goiag to have another such revalsion as that of 1857? He ts Wririna Axotner Maniresto.—We are positively aseured by the Chevalier Forney, who spenks upon the subject like » man having authority, that at Washington Judge Douglas is preparing, has nearly finished, and will shortly publish to the world, another manifesto on “squatter sovereignty.” We have no objection, Peace having been concluded between the late belligerent Powers in Italy, we are prepared either for an armistice or a declaration of war from Mr. Douglas, The Northern States are, one after another, entering upon the election of their delegates to Charleston; and in this view, we dare say, the friends of Mr. Douglas may fvel the need of his assistanco.

Revoriex.} INTERESTIG FROM WASHINGTON. Extraordinary Report Relative to the Viela~ tom of Mexicam Government Dvspatehes, dic. * OUB SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATOH. Wasninctow, July 26, 1868, Despatches from the Juarez government to the Mexican. Minister bere, due last Friday from New Orleans, are net yet received. In e®me unaccountable manner they have urned up at your Post Office in New York, although ad- dressed to Washington. What myatifies the matter still more is tho fact that their seals have been violated. Was it done by speculators, who were desirous to know the contents of the rumored treaty ? This is an event which may lead to the most serious consequences. The violation of private letters by Cabam officials is one ground of our complaint against the gov- ernment of that island. How much greater offence i# that of the violation of officlal deepat:hes. The govera- ment is bound to probe this matter to the bottom. General Caas denies in the most poritive terms that ang project of treaty is received. Ho mates that the views of the two governments ¢i{for widely that little hope ts entertained of coming to an arrangement until protect- tog powers are granted by Congross. . $$ es ‘The British Mail Steamer Borlin Ashore. : Bosrox, July 26, 1859, “be brig Bloomer, at this port from St. Thomas July 6» reports that the British mail steamer Berlin, of the South- ampton line, went ashore on Angulla reef om the night or June 26, ard bilged The United States Uonsul af St, Thomas was sick with yellow fever.

Taycon vs. the Crotom Aqueduct Board—The same vs. the Mayor and Corporati m of New York —The plaintiffs ark for a mandamus againet tho Cro‘on Aqueduct Board te compel them to exeoute a contract entorcd into with Bald- win and Jaycox for the building of the gate houses ant Pipe chambers of the newreservoir. Bald#in and Jaycox siso apply for an injunction agninat Fairchild, Walker & Co., and the Mayor and Corporation, to reatrain thera from allowing or permitting any work o be done on tho gate houses in violation of the contract made with Baldwin and Jaycox. fhe plafotifs set forth that by virtue of gn advertisement of tbe Croton Board, they submitted proposals for ral the mason work on the Croton Reservoir; that tho Groton Board, on the 27th day of October, 1858, opened the pro; oaals, and the plaintifts being the lowest bidders, awardod tbe Contract to them; that tue action of the Croton Board waa submitted to the Common Council in the shape of a report to be by ther confirmed; that the award was not confiriaed by the Common Council to them, but the contrast wam rn to Fairchild & Co., whe had bid the sum of 193,503 16, while the bla of Baldwin & Jaycox wae $136,027 70. Plaintiff aver that they are the lowest bidders, aad by law entitled to have tho contract, and they therefore ‘insist that the Croton Board must allow them to do the work. Tho defendants say that Fairchild & Co. are the original contractors to do work on the Oroton Reservoir; that the contract mate by the Croton Board was for a part of the work which they alone are entitied to perform, and thet euch work cannot bs sopa- rated from the original contract without fnjury to the city and the public, It 1s also contended by ihem that the Croton Board have no power to myke « binding contract without the senstion of the Common Council, and thet tho action of the Common Connoil closes all Contracts and makes them binding, and not that of the Groton Board, ON MARIE TI WASHIN
