The sews. The steamer Jason, from Galway for New York. ‘was intercepted yesterday off Cape Race. She left Galway on the 20th inst., and her news is therefore two days later than that received by the City uf Washington. The political intelligence is unimportant. The Zarich Conference, so far as known, bad accom- plished nothing; but the Austrian Commissioner, iv a speech delivered at a banquet in Zurich, expressed @trong faith in the final success of the deliberations of the Conference. The news from Italy is meager but is confirmatory of the strong fecling reported to prevail in Tuscany against the return of the Ducal dypasty, and of the Modenese in favor of national freedom. The general amnesty to political offenders de- creed by Napoleon was received with great satis- faction. Cardinal Antonelli had resigned the Presidency of the Council of Rome. ‘The London money market was easier. Consols on the 20th were quoted at 954. American securi- ties had undergone no change. At Liverpool cotton was dull, at a decline of ano. eighth of a penny on fair and middling qualities, and a still farther reduction on the lower qualities. Breadstuffs were quiet and provisions dull. The steamship Ariel, from Havre 17th and Cowes 18th August, arrived at this port last night We have received from Caracas an official publi- cation containing the documents relating to the recent change of government in Venezuela. It con- tains the resignation of President Castro, the tem- porary acceptance of the executive power by Don Pedro Gual until the arrival of Vice President Tovar, the official recognition of the new order of things by the representatives of the United States, England, Brazil, Spain, France and Holland, and the proclamations of the local government of (Caracas to the people, bearing dates from the 24 to the 7th of August. The notes of the foreign Ministers to the Secretary of State of Venezuela, recognizing the new government, are drawn up in the most cordial terms. By the arrival of the overland mail at St. Louis we have San Francisco advices to the 8th of August. The demand for merchandise had improved, but prices remained unchanged. It was expected that Senators Broderick and.Gwin would tight a duel as Boon as the election is over. A convention of citizens of the State of New York is to be held at Rochester to-morrow and next day to devise measures to rescue the canals from the ruin with which they are threatened. The ob- jects of the proposed meeting are fully set forth in ‘an article published on the first page of today’s Hexarp, to which is appended a list of the names of the delegates from this city to the convention. Wall street was terribly excited yosterday, and two of the biggest bears of the Stock Exchange went by the board. We refer to the money article in to-day’s paper for particulars. Joseph White, Charles Edwards and Robert Dia- mond were arrested yesterday at the corner of Spring and West streets, on suspicion of being counterfeiters and dealers ia bogus coin. Upon searching their baggage a $3 counterfeit bill on the Bank of Wilmington, Delaware, and two pack- ages of spurious quarter dollars, amounting in all to about $75, were found concealed among their clothing. The prisoners were taken before Justice Kelly, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, but ‘were subsequently transferred to the United States Court, before Commissioner Stillwell. The Board of Supervisors held a meeting yester- day afternoon, but transacted almost no business, the whole session of three hours having been spent in discussing the subject of the tax levy. A nume- rous lobby was in attendance. Inthe meantime a large body of the office holders go minus funds, the Comptroller having shut the doors of the Treasary to all demands on the county until the Supervisors shall have passed the levy, with or without the ap- Propriation for the Commissioners of Records, which Qppears to be the great bone of contention. It is hoped that a compromise will be effected before ‘the meeting of the Board to-day. The Superior Court, general term, Justices Bow Worth and Slosson on the bench, yesterday morn: ing affirmed the order made by Judge Woodruff at special term, granting Catharine N. Forrest tempo. pt om Pl denying the application for a e test to Mrs. Forrest's eae eae roa it The Coroner's investigas stances attending the death ot efi the Sixth ward om Monday morning, was commenced yesterday.

There was no quoram present, and couse- quently an adjournment took place without the transaction of any business. ‘Tbe cotton market yesterday exhibited some more tone, but Closed witbont quotmole change in prices.

Freight engagements were mode- rate and rates steady but unchanged. the Imperial Fete at Paris—Napoleon’s Strength in France. It has been often asserted, and a large portion of the Europeap prees continue to assert, that o bis course in Itajian affairs Louis Napoleon nes lost ground in the hearte of the French peo- ole, ‘The events of the 14th of August in Paris have utven tbe strongest postible contradiction to this -tatement, In m»gnificence they surpassed avy~ tbing that bas been seen in modern times, and he expressions of popular feeling tbat accompa- vied them were far deeper and far more heartfelt han any other living monarch on the Old Conti- sent bas ever beep able to draw from the lips and bosoms of bis leiges. From every section of ‘be land France poured her thousands iato the vapital to greet the return of the victorious Em- peror and bis army, and on that eventful day one million of Freachmen were added to the popula- ion of Paris. Standing at the base of the Napo- ‘eonic column in the Place Vendome, Louis Na- poleon listened to the welcoming shouts of hun- dreds of thousands from every part of his empire, while at bis feet was Jaid, with the tattered and battle-torn banners of the armies of France, the unbounded homage of her whole people. This of itself would be sufficient to dis- prove the idea tbat his power was waning; but ne bimself has given a stronger proof still of the existence of the contrary fact. Fresh from the field where his enemies have asserted he was a traitor to the cause of Italy, we find bim refasing to lend his aid to the retarn of the Italian dukes to the government of ao unwilling people, teking off the restrictions that have 80 long muzzled the press of Paris, opening the prison doors to every political prisoner, pro- claiming a general amnesty to all classes of po- sitical refugees, inyiting every Frenchman to re- turn to the land of his birth, and extending through the press his meed of approval to Gari- baldi and Kossuth, the idols of the revolutionary sentiment of Fnrano aie he eoult DOT and would not do were he not certain of his strength in the popular heart. The course he has pursued towards Kossuth, Louis Blanc, Ledru Rollin and many others, shows how completely he has bridged the abyss of revolution for France, and how consonant with the peace- ful progress of the age has been the advance of his government and its policy. Less than eight years ago the popular revolutionary leaders of France were forced to seek safety in flight, and Kossuth was prohibited from landing from the United States frigate Mie- sissippi in the harbor of Marseilles. Now Kos suth may pase through France, and with imperia! francs organise a free Hungarian corpson the +bores of Italy; hie praises are sounded by the imperial press, and the whole host of political refugees and deportes may freely return. A more unbounded proof of self-confidence in his position could pot be given by a ruler. These palpable denials of the assertions of a large portion of the European press lead us to doubt in no emall degree its statements in re- regard to the peace of Villafranca and its con. sequents. The world is continually told that the treaty of that now celebrated place is hoi- low and a sbam; that the conferences at Zarich bave come to a dead-lock; that every one donbts the honesty of Louis Napoleon in his pacific in- timations and utterances; that a red repnblic had been proclaimed at Parma, acd other simi- lar stories, many of which are disproved almost a8 soon as uttered. Now, the story of the red revolution at Parma is koown to be false, the conferences at Zurich go on in profound secrecy; and nothing is known of their results, and Italy seems to be in a fair way of entering upon that career of peacetal self. reform which only can be permanent. The fifty thousand troops which Louis Napoleon has left in Northern Italy are evidently merely intended to preserve the public order and to guarantee the free expression of popular opinion by the Ital- ian people, witbout coercion by fierce republican partisanism on our side, or restraint by the cra- ven fears of conservatism on the other. The true fruits of the peace of Villafranca are to be eeen in the orderly impulse that Italy has receiv- ed towards self-government, and the confasion and conflict that has sprupg up among the hy- dra-headed rulers of the German Confederation. Here it is that the shoe pinches the class sus tained press of Europe. The Coburgs of England and Germany, the Hapsburgs of Aus tia, the Guelphs of Hanover, and the Branden- burgs of Prursia, already see in the satisfied na- ionality of Italy the sayacity of the Napoleonic policy and the germ of their own overthrow Ere Jong they may have to follow the fight ot the Dukes of Tuecany and Parwa, and they now kpow tbat Louis Napoleon will not extend his protecting band to the discarded squatter sove- oye in Europe. ————_ v GexeraL Hovston on THe Heap or tare List.—The Chevalier Forney is convinced that General Sam Houston is the candidate of Mr Bucbanan for the Charleeton Couvention. Ii thie be so, we may set down General Houston at the head of the demooratic list, He has just woo his greatest poiitical triumph in Texas asa sup- Porter of Mr. Buchanan’s administration, and who knows but a still yreater victory may be in store for him on the same platform? ‘Tas Onganzation or Tan Next Hovss—Tue Puioxauity Roie.—It 1s quite plain now, from the classification oi members elected and to b+ elected to the next House of Representatives, ‘at the only way in which the republicaus can secure the organization in electiog their own Speuker, Clerk avd Printer, is by the adoption of the plurality rule. The classification stands The republicans, therefore, it will be seen, lack eix of having & majority, while the national or administration democrate lack twenty-seven. The Southern opposition members will probably bave « cundidate of their own, on the desperate chance of winning over oue or the other of the two great parties, or at least in the idea of being able to muke good terms with one of them in tue matter of Clerk, or Public Printer, or the ar- rangement of the committees, Having made such terms, they might give their support to the democratic candidate for Speaker. They could not possibly give it to the republican. The same is true as to the anti-Lecompton democrats. To cast their weigbt inthe republican scale would be not only an uct of political treason—for they are great sticklers for the Cincianati platform— but it would seal the fate of their leader, Doaglas, ut the Charleston Convention. In this mutually neutralizing condition of parties, we may expect to eee a repetition of the ecenes of the first. two months of the Thirty-fourth Congress, which ended’by the adup- dou of the plurality rule and the consequent election of Banks as Speaker, Lest any of our readers m‘ght be at a logs to understand the dis- tinctiop, we may remark here that a candidate must ordinarily receive a majority of all the votes cast, and when there are three or more candidates in the field it may pot be possibile for apy one of them to obtain such a majority. Ua der the plurality rule he who received the high- est bumber of votes—whether a majority or not—is elected. And thus it sometimes happens, as it did in the election of speaker ia 1855-6, that in order to bring the voting to aclose the plurality rule must be adopted. Now that is the very state of things which the House of Representatives will present at the opening of the next Congress. Days or weeks or months may be spent in ineffectual efforts to secure an organization uoder the majority rule, The republicans will therefore endeavor to have 8 resolation adopted, declaring that the candi- date who may receive the highest number of votes shall be declared duly elected. They will strive to get the anti-Lecompton democrats and the Scuthern opposition members to support euch a resolution. For these latter todo #0 would be tantamount to their voting, in the first instance, for the republican candidate, bepause the adoption of the plurality rule could have no other result than his election, Let it be understood, therefore, in advance, that the plurality rule signifies a republican organi- zation of the next House of Representatives—a republican Speaker, a republican Clerk, a repub- lican Printer, republican chairmen of commit- tees, and finally—shou!d the Presidential elec- tion go to the Honse, as it probably will—a re- publican President in 1861. If the anti-Lecomp- ‘on democrats are in favor of all this they will, of course, vote for the plurality rule. But they will do so with the assurance that the act will be polities! eulutdy ov wuvuselves, xud & Wanton sacrifice of the head of their faction, to whom they profess devotion. No Southern oppo- sition member dare give such aid and coun- tenance to the abolition party, with the know- ledge that he would be thus directly instrumen- tal in placiog Wm. H. Seward in the Presidential chair, there to put in practice the programme of bis Rochester manifesto. There are more ways, says & Common pro- verb, of killing a dog besides choking him with melted butter. There are more ways of giving @ republican organization to the House. and an abolition administration to the country besides voting either directly or indirectly for the republican candidate, There are many little parliamentary tricks by which the same result can be as effectually pro- duced. The most simple of them is absenteeism. If halfa dozen anti-Lecompton democrats were to pair off, as it is termed, with as many Southern opposition members, they would leave the republicans in a majority, and the thing could thus be neatly fixed. Or, if any of the democratic members should chance to be detained from the House by illness or other cause, the desired number of anti-Le- comptonites and Sonthern opposition men might be induced, in apparently the most innocent manner, to stay away at the same time. The republicans, who are always well whipped in, and ready to take advantage of any weakness in their opponents’ ranks, would seize upon the favorable moment and elect their man. But, be it borne in mind, that such transparent treachery would expose its actors to more thorough and general execration than an open and manly change of front, and a desertion to the enemy on the field of battle. 4 Bad as an unorganized Honse of Representa- tives would be, it might be better for the country than such an organization of it as would throw the administration of the general government into the hands of Wm. H. Seward and his aboli- tion cohorts. New Jersey Pourrics—A Decwep Srrrr.— Last year there was a fusion between the repub- licans, Americans and anti-Lecomptonites of New Jersey in their fall elections, and they car- tied everything before them. This year the American State Executive Committee, in 9 red hot “address to the Americans of New Jersey,” urge their brethren to stand aloof from the treacherous republicans and their disunion, abo- lition agitators, and, “sink or swim,” to maintain their “American principles” as an independent party. This indicates 8 decided split between the two opposition factions over the river, and a five opening for the democracy and their candi. date for Governor, General Wright. Standing upon the safe platform of the administration of Mr. Bucbanan, General Wright isin the right position for the consolidation of the democracy avd the disruption of the opposition forces. And this is, perhaps, only “the beginning of the end.” Tue Sick Man or AuBany.—Confidence Cus- sidy still perseveres in his daily weepings and wailings and goashing of teeth against Gov. Wise and Fernando Wood. Never was batcher bos in @ more morbid state of excitement. Cau’t we persuade Thurlow Weed to give something to his distressed lobby associate that will cure him of the gripings of that Donnelly letter? Tue Licensep Swinpua Suors or New York.—The exposure which we made in on arti- cle in Sandey’s Hera of the fraudalent prac- tices of so-called employment offices bas bed, we perceive, the effect of opening the eyes of those who are usually the victims of such pructices. Ove ot thee viotis writes to us describing the ‘repidation which our article caused ia a “Clerk Rexistry Office,” and expreasing bis belief that the HERALD will lose the advertisiag patrouage of that and eimilar establishments, He says that the exporure produced a union of sympathy mong all the victims of that particular office, end that they proposed to sign and have pab- Mebed a statement of their xrievaoces. The wri- ter declares for bis own part, toat although his bame bas been registered fur a month oa the books of the employment office in question, he has not bad a place, or the chance of a place, notwithstanding the fect that the office had ad- vertied largely in the interim for persoas to till exactly such positions as this individual and others humbugged like him were tookiug for. Another communication, from a Spanish gen- tleman who fell among thieves in tae guise of Managers of & bogus echool institute, eadorses all we bave said in regard to the mode of opera- tions practised by these gentry. ‘These are verifications from one side of the statements made ip the article in question. Auo- ther verification of them comes from the priast- pul of one of these employueent offices, who as- certs that his establishment i the only one in New York conducted om honorable principles, aod he, therefore, does mot like to be classed with thieves and ewimflers. Well, as there are some forty or fifty establishments of the lat- ter class, it is easy to comprehend what an im menre number of poor people are betng con- stantly victimized by them. These commanica- «ons we publish elsewhere, together with a statement of facts collected by one of our re- porters in connection with the business of intel- ligence offices, There is no doubt but that an intelligence of- fice, fairly and bonestly conducted, might be made of great service both to employers and employed. There may probably be a few such offices in the city. But we state the conviction of all having any knowledge of their general working, when we affirm that nine out of every ten of them are managed by unpriocipled men, who cheat the unfortunate applicants, first out of their dolJars as registration fees, and thea out of their time. Besides, it is a well kaown fact that the better class of servants are never, or very rarely, to be obtained at these employment offices; nor do the better class of employers often go to them for help, except, indeed, to those offi. ces that bear about them the character of being charitable institutions. They resort to the cheaper and simpler plan of advertising in the Heratp, or of answering advertisements that appear in our columns. There is also some ground for the belief that not a few of those employment offices for females are in the interest of the keepers of disreputable houses, and are used for the purpose of debauch ing innocent girle. Of course, it must be pre- sumed that wherever the Mayor has good reason to believe that such is the character of an office, he revokes the license and breake up the esta- blishment. We do not know, however, whether hedoes 80 or not. Instances of the dispensation of summary justice are rather rare in Now York. Onr correspondents on the subject express the belief that the exposures which we have made of Wwese licensed swindling shops will have a good effect, and will result in breaking up many of them. While those establishments that are fairly conducted have nothing to fear, but much to gain from these exposures, we shall be very glad to know that the duty which legally de volves upon our criminal authorities has been, in their failure to act, effectively performed by the Heratp. Conripence Cassrpy in Ricamonp.—The home organ of Governor Wise pays its respects to Confidence Cassidy in an elaborate article, which we trapsfer to our columns this morning. The writer proceeds to dissect, in the first place, the component parts of the faction which is rejoiced at the idea that Governor Wise has been killed by the treachery of the Albany Regency. The new friends of Confidence Caseidy are said to be the black republicans, the Know Nothings and the non-intervention democrats of Virginia, “with a few personal and political enemies” of Governor Wise. It is then declared that if this treachery shall be successful it will exalt the fa- vorite Albany wenpons, “scheming, trickery and treachery, above principle, morality and offi. cial integrity.” Next there comes a defence of the Donnelly letter, to sustain the principles of which two great lights of the democracy, Jack- son aod Calhoun, are quoted. Finally, it is offi. cially announced that Governor Wise has al- ready been killed twice, but has always turned up again as good as new, and that if Confidence | Cassidy thinks he has killed off the Governor this time he is quite mistaken. He will live and flourish like a green bay tree, in spite of all the regencies at Albany or elsewhere, On the whole, we are of the opinion that the Donnelly letter will not be such a fine thing az Confidence Cassidy & Co. think. It will arouse the people of this State toa full knowledge of the character of the men by whom they are led. It will send delegates to Syracuse pledged to oppose the system of packed delegations ia Ne tional Conventions. And if.the delegates to Charleston should be selected in defiance of the popular will, there will be another tion “fresh from the body of the people.” That is the prospect for Charleston, Messrs. Confidence Cassidy & Co. Wuat’s my THE Wixp Now?—Some of the Tepublican newspapers, including Tharlow Weea’s Albany Journal, are ventilating the proposition of Mr. Blair, of Missouri, and Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, for the colonization of our “free niggers” in Central America. This may be intended as a counter-mevement to he Southern Walker filibusters, or as a back- handed blow at the Liberian Colonization Society; but we rather suspect that this Central American movement is an artfal dodge for the benefit of the republican party. The Northern States have about as many “free niggers” as they want; but the abolition programme of Mr. Seward suggests a tremendous influx of these peculiar people from the South by-and-by. The “free labor” whites of the North are beginniag to stumble upon this idea, and this Central American colonization project is intended for their relief. And thus we perceive that the negro philanthropy of the republican party ex- tends only to their hatred of the “slave oli- garchy.” We should like to know the opinion of Gerrit Smith, Fred. Donglass, and George T. Downing, the “ free colored American” oyster- mm) Upon this subject. NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1859.

Senator Trumbull is one of the most energetic men in the party, and bis influence i+ more dreaded by Judge Dougias in Iilinois than that of Lincoin, Friends of Douglas are now pretending that all Northern demoorats are for him for President, hoping thereby w influence the South. To the same end they also represent tbat 4. @.

It is a trick too transparent to deceive any one. ‘Mr. Oazenean, the special agent of the State Department, writes that he has not mucceeded in ovtaining a sevtiement of the claims of American citizens against the Domiatoau government.
