They contain very interesting accoun's of the effect—political, financial and legislative— produced in the Old World by the signing of the peace of Villafranca between France and Austria, all of which are spread before our readers this morning in the columns of the Hewavp. A grand swindling scheme, conducted by knaves in this city, who used the name of Rothschibis, the great European bankers, for their purposes, has just been discovered. The scheme con-istei of a pre tended loan of 14,000,000 florins by the Grand Dachy of Baden, connected with alottery. The swindlers had received numerous letters, with remittances through the Post Office, chiefly from the South an West, but as soon as suspicion began to be a-oused they took the alarm and decamped. We give a full account of the matter in another column. The Beard of Aldermen met jast evening. The Mayor sent in a message vetoing a resolution au- thorizing the New Jersey Railroad and Trausporta, aon Company to run a ferry from the foot of Des- brosses sireet to the foot of Harsimus street, Jersey City. The committee on the subject reported that they were not prepared to report on the nomina- tions for the Croton Aqueduct Board. Generals Sandford and Ewen sent in a remonstrance against the reorganization of the Twelfth regiment. Ii was referred to the special committee on the sub- ject. A preamble and resolutions, authorizing the City Inspector to advertise a contract for removing night soil for a period of five years, were presented and isid over. Some routine business was then transacted, and the Board adjourned to Monday pext. At five o'clock yesterday, the time appointed for the meeting of the Councilmen, there were exactly five members assembled in the chamber of the Board; whereupon, no quorum being present, the clerk adjourned the Board till Monday next. The joint committee of the Common Council and Supervisors appointed to agree about the building of a new county jail tailed to meet yesterday, the Aldermen absenting themselves. The second floating hospital ordered by the Quarantine Commissioners to be constructed for the accommodation of the sick arriving on ship board, the character of whose disea es has not been fully ascertained, has just been completed, and to-day will be towed to its permanent auchor- age, midway between Castleton and Long Island It will accommodate fifty patients. A vuew steam- boat, the Rescue, las been hired to convey the Health’ Officer to and from the lower Quaran- tine anchorage, and to carry the newly arrived sick to their as-igned localities—the latter not having beeu tofore performed by the mim, which is now converted into @ floating hospital. The wholesale disiissal of the és of the eld Quarantine hospitals made by the Commissioners of Emigration on Wednesday cansed a good deal of indignation yesterday among the unfortunate d itated. Outside the Quaran- tine walls the rejoicing excelled the expressions of indignation inside, as the step just taken is looked upon as the final and complete ousting of the old Quarantine power.

Trne, these newspsper extracts are limited to the conflicting pretensions of but three candi dates— Dougias, Wise and Hunter; but as they at present monopolize the atwation of the de- mocratic President makers, we may very properly leave all the secondary class out of this dis- Cuselon.

But these extensions were coupled with additional aud more rigerous restrictions. The English might cut and export wood, or any other fruits of the earth purely natural or uncultivated, but they were to make no plantations, erect no forti- ficattepr, nor orgamize avy form of government, civil or military; and to see that these stiputa- tious were obeerved taithfutly, a Spanish officer .

These iimits, it should be cbserved, are precieely those which were claimed by Sir George Grey in 1836, and eompretend the widest pretensions ever set up by the Britieh government or its syents.

We spread before our readers today a fair | epitome of the views of the leading English und French journals on the peace lately concluded in Italy. It is evident that the Engtieh press, in the abeence of more detailed informetion aa to | what took piace between the two Hoxperora at Viliafranca—which is styled by some of the London journals the Tilsit of 1859—are in a cloud about the terms of peace agreed upon, dermen and Counci!men, but their powers are ao arranged that exch possesses only the faculty te do evil. Thea we have the Compteciler, wae, as bead of the Finaoce Department, ‘is ia- Gependent of everybody.

Governor Wise here comes boldly forward as the especial champion of Southern rights, after baving stood by the side of Douglas avd his Northera followers from the beginning to the end of their anti-Lecompton rebellion. Buyin this bold dash to regain his position in the South, Governor Wise abandons the North to Douglas, and thus these. two conspicuona men are in the best possible position of sectional satagoni«m to kill off each other before the meeting of the Charleston Con vention The position of Senator Hunter, on the other hand, is thet of « “masterly inaotivity,” which mey prove too intangible and shadowy to give satistuction to either the Northeru or Southern wing of the party. He agrees iu principle with Gov, Wine, that where the Territorial anthoritivs may fail to protect the institution of slavery, it is the duty of Congress to interpore; but Mr. Hunter on the soore of expediency, thinkgit best upon this question that the two sections should agree to disagree, and say nothing and do nothiag upen the subject. This new groand of expe- dieney will alienate that Southern ultra faction which bave heretofore recogaized Mr. Huuter aa their prophet, and in losing them he will be apt to find bimreif reduced to the “seatteriag” votes of the Charleston Convention. The Convention, t the law of necessity, may thus be compelled to fall back upoa Mr Buchanan. At ine same thine, the incessant bue avd cry of the opposition organs and politicians tbat be is # candidate, and that all bis appoint- menis, ait bis sets, aud all his measures have been adopted in view of a re-election, may ope rate to convince all sections and cliques of the democrecy that Mr. Buchanan reatty is their only available candidate. Daring the first term | of Mr. Jefferson the old fideral party raised a similar hne and cry against that distinguished | patrio’, and the resutte were, first, bis reelec- | tion by a powerful majority: and, seconaly, the establishment of a party under his leadership whieh beid the uvbroken occupation of the government for twenty years. So with regard | io General Jackson, He was sincere in bis wish to retire from the White House after serving one term, but the opposition would bave it other- wise; and thus they badgered and worried the democracy upiil they were convinced that Old | ifickory was their man. The reaults need no | repetition here; but these examples are very sug- gestive in regard to Mr. Bachanan, In a word, from the persevering efforts of the | opposition to make him a Presidential candidate, and from the distractions and embarrassments which, upon every other man, will confront the democracy at Charleston, they may be com- pelied, even against bis wishes, to put up our good old tried and trusty P: lent for a secoud term. Should he thus be re-elected, with a trust- worthy collesgue as Vice President, Mr. Ba- chanan, after patting the new adminis‘ration afloat, will still be able, if resolved upon it, to retire to private life ia 1861, by simply resign- fi ing his office.

Another extraordinary provision of the convention is ite recognition of the stities inquo of al the British: establishments, . whether the limit defined, and @ reservation of all claims of possession or occupancy on the partof Britis: subjects in such estabtabments and the lands connected with them. On these accounts tbe convention met with strong opposition ii the Connell of State (Consejo deli Estado: of Guatemaig, where it was carried by & majority of bus two votes.

The ratification of the Gonvention by the Briticb. government is to be made witbin.a-year; bat it is. not likeiy: that it will besitate an hour in cousummaticg a treaty which concedes everything to which. she ever affected » olaim or set up pretence. Assuming that the cession will be accepted, of which there.oan be no doubt, the result will be the permanent establishment of a new British colony or dependency on the coast of Central Avwrica, Hitherto, it is true, a British eetab- liebuvent has existed there, which has been, in everything but io came, & British colony, go- verted by superintendents named by the crown. Now, probably, the goverament will be made absolute, and Belize take formal rank as a British colony, in the same sense with Demerara or Jamaica. It is vot our present pur- pore w Gircurs the political bearings of thie event. It certainly cannot be understood as indicating disposition on the part of Great Britain to give up ber territorial pretensions in Central America; nor does it look like a con- formity on ber part to the “Mouaroe doctrine,” which we have 60 loudly promulgated but so poorly epforced. As far as civilization goes, and the general good of mankind, it is probably far better that Belize should be in possession of Great Briteia thao under the effete goverament of Gustemala, We may at least look, ia one care, for some degree of industry and civiliza- tion, netiber one of which could be hoped for if it were left to native dowinion; and a de fac | British cetablichment already exixiing, it is per- | baps as weil chat it ehould take some definite po- | sition as to remain any longer in an anoma- | lous condition, a rource of constant conteation ! and dispute. | Since the commencement of the discussion on | what is called the “Central American question,” | it hae come to be very well known that Belize owes its foundation to the buccaneers, and that in fact its nume is only a Spanish corruption of of settlement or for ontting mahogany, beyond “ tingencies by introducing the clauges of the turbulent logwood cutters did uot pay much at- tention ty the treaty, and kept on pretty much as before, thereby giving great offence to the neighboring Spavish suthoritiea, who availed themselves of the brealling out of the war of 1796 to endeavor to expel them; but the settlers, | aided by @ Dritieh force, repelled the assault, and ' becoming more presuming than ever, took ad- ; vantage of the state of war to: organize a } local government, over which the British crown | named au officer, with tbe ttle of “ Superinten- ident of the Establishments: ia the Bay of Hon- durea.”’ During the ware of Napoleon and the commo- i tione of the Restoration Spain paid put little at- ivutiow to Matters so remote apd insigvifieant aa the eneroachments of the logwoed cutters ia the Bay of Honduras, and therefore the looal go- verument established during the war was kept ‘ap afterwards without remoustrance, notwith- standing that the treaty between England aod Spain of 1814 expressly revived the treaty of 1786, with all of its stringeat provisions. The Britieh xoverument, bewever, did oot affect any right of sovereignty in the country; and although iW made regulations fer: the government of its sutyecis settied there, the establishment was niwaye designated as ‘ a settlement for certain pur- poses, under the protection Lwt not within: the territories and dominions of his Majesty.” Afver- the inde- perxience of the Spanish American colenies, aud their cuccession to the territorial tights of Spain, the Britich government, xot-knowing precisely in which uew nationality the district of Belize might fall, endeavored to guard against all con- treaty of 1786 in its treaties, not only with Cen- tral America, but also. with Mexico and New Graveda. It was, in fact, incorpo- relied in ber treaty with Mexico of 1826, and was embraced in the grojét of @ treaty which ehe submitted to the Central American Mivisier in Loudon in 1881. Thus lately and distinctly did Great Britain recognise |. the rights of Central America over the district as the successor of the crown of Spain. The setilers of Belize, mesotime, bad spread their wood cutting establishments far to the southward of the river Sibun, the southernmost boundary under the treaty of 1786, aud their as suuiptious, destitute of warrant and in express violation of the treaty, came gradualiysto be ac- cepted by the government at home, And when, in 1836, the agent of @ cvlonization company weked the categorical question, “What are the boundaries of Belize as understood by her Mujesty’s goverumeut?” Sic George Grey, then Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, re- plied, “From the river Hondo ou the north to the river Sarstoop an the south, sod as far west as Garbutt’s Falls, and @ line drawn north and south from that point, with the islauds and cays of the coast.” These boundaries, proclaimed ia au ebtirely arbitrary mauser, wre precisely those which Guatemsla base conceded, apparently without a eiruggie, and in slavish submissiva to. Gritieh intiuence. It will be remembered that under General Taylor's admisistration the office of American Consvi in Belize was abolished, as being a kind of indirect recognition of the legality of Britiab authority there; acd yet Mr. Clayton, in en ez post | fection from the public ws the hasty cheers whieh and do not welt know what to say on the sub ject.

Rev. Dr. Bellows, of New York, bids fuir for tbat lofty mission In a remarkable sermon which he preached a few days ago in Bosion, be has promulgated the moet hold and startling views on the eudject of Christianity and modern, Protestantism-—views which indicate a bigt epirit of independence, and a tone of courage aot easy to be met with im these days of oant ond +ham and hypocrisy. Himselfa Protestant olergy~ man of the Unitarian creed, and therefore, as be expresees it, ‘a Protestant of the Protestants,’ he candidly admits the failure of bis own and. of ell other Protestant sects, and gives tho.palm ta Romanism for having failed in a less degree as & religion than any other. The Catholic religion, however, has failed, too, and the practical con- clusion at which Dr. Bellows arrives is “the a," velopement of a new Catholic ohare,” and ge modus cperandi is this:—Take tho old Cat aclic church, with its eplendid ritual, as the basis, aod stripping it of what ie obsolete and ur,guited to an enlightened age, and getting cid 9%20 of same ofthe most obnoxious doctrives, unite with it the philosophy of Protestantiam, ‘and thos build up out of the ruins of both a new wystem which will become the religion of the whole world.
