NOTICE TO THE ADVERTISING PUSLIC. Owing to the great increase of trade iu the city ai the prosent time, and the conzaquent increasing accuraulation of our advertising business, we arc compelled to ack our Advertising friends to come to our aid and help us to get our paper to prees, This thoy can accomplizh by sending in thelr advertisements at as early an hour in the day and evening as possible, All advertisements should be handed in before nine o'clock at night. We would thus be en- abled to get to press at a reasonable time, and of course tosend ont the paper at an earlier hour, which would aot only be a relief to us, but a service to the advertisers the importance of which must be apparent, The News. ‘The Africa arrived at this port yesterday morn. “ing, with details of European advices dated in Paris on the 19th and in London on the 20th ult. A}- though the main features of the news by the Africa had been anticipated by our telegraphic report from St. Johns, N.F., brought by the Jason to Cape Hace, and published on Wednesday, the papers by the Africa contain some very interesting reports, which we give this morning. The Fn> organ of the Czar, contai le urging the necessity of a general European Co! » empowered to con- Sider the actual re! ns existing between the different governments and peoples, and also to dis- pose finally of the case of Turkey, a “sick man” now declared beyond cut As already announced, nothing of diplomatic consequence had ensued from the Zurich Confe- rences. The letters of our correspondents at Paris gra- phically describe the imperial fétes in honor of the triumphs of the army in Italy, and those from Lon- don, Florence, Berlin and Br 1s reflect truly the state of feeling and progress of affairs. We have files of the Salt Lake Valley Tan to the 3d inst. The news is somewhat interesting. A se convention of the Gentiles had been held at Fairfield, and strong anti 10n feeling was mani tested in speeches, an address and resolutions, Dr, Garland Hurt, formerly Indian Agent, was nomi- nated as the ant vmon candidate for Congress, and a list of local nominees was selected. The re tarns of the election had not been published. Me Kenzie had been committed to await his trial be- fore the Circuit Court on a charge of making and issuing counterfeit checks on the Sub-Treasury, circumstances placing the matter out of the juris- diction of the court martial. Delos Gibson had been found guilty of murder in the first degree. It was rumored that Capt. W. H. Hooper would be $ delegate to Congress in place of Dr. Bern- hi The Indians were quite troublesome on the California road, and Goy. Cumming had made 4 requisition on Gen. Johnston for a small force to guard the road. The sale of government animals continued at Camp Floyd, and the Valley Tan says the prices paid were nearly up to the full value of the stock. The State Convention called to deliberate upon the canal question organized at Rochester yester- day. A report is given among our telegraphic des- patches. Another brilliant exhibition of auroral light was to be seen this morning at an early hour. The ap- pesrance of this phenomenon on Sunday night last, however, has so familiarized it to our readers as to render any description unnecessary. The Tammany Hall Democratic General Com- mittee met last evening, and the report of the pro- ceedings, which we give in another column, will be read with great interest by all concerned in politi- cal affairs. It was agreed to hold the election for delegates to the convention to select representa- tives to the Syracuse Convention on Tuesday even- ing next, between six and eight o'clock. The Mozart Hall Democratic General Committee met last evening, and appointed Monday evening next, between eight and ten o'clock, as the time for holding the elections for the choice of delegates to the Assembly District Convention, which will, on Tuesday evening next, choose delegates to the Democratic State Convention.

We have been compelled to Postpone our full report of the proceedings on ac- count of the crowded state of our columns. ‘The Coroner’s investigation in the case of the murdered ragpicker was concluded yesterday at the Sixth precinct station house without any clue being afforded to the perpetrators of the outrage The police made every effort to clear up the mys- tery, but failed in the attempt. Two arrests were made on suspicion, but the prisoners proved an alibi and were discharged. The jury rendered a verdict of ‘Death from injuries at the hands of some party or parties unknown.” The body of deceased, not having been identified or claimed, will be transferred from Bellevue Hospital to Pot- ter’s field for interment. A sad accident occurred at New Bochelle on Wednesday evening. A sudden squall struck the yacht Edda when entering the harbor under full sail, capsizing her and drowning Miss Catharine Waterbury, daughter of Lawrence Waterbury, and her governess, Miss Littlefair. We give the sad particulars elsewhere. A German lawyer and one of the clerks of the Board of Aldermen were arrested the day before yesterday, by order of the State Department at Washington, on a charge of having forged United States passports. Oue of the accused parties—the clerk of the Aldermen—claims that he isa notary public, and therefore fully empowered to issue passports. The charge against him, he contends, must have originated in some misapprehension on the part of the authorities. The case will be inves- tigated this morning before Mr. Commissioner Mor- ton, when the extent of the guilt or innocence of the parties will probably be clearly shown. The examination of the alleged coiners was also post- poned until noon to-day. The Chamber of Commerce held their regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon, The prin- cipal business transacted was a discussion upon the late annual report of the Chamber, which had been severely criticised by one of the daily papers. It was agreed to refer the several parts back to the contributors for revision and correction. A reso- lution calling on the President of the United States to take such steps as would induce the British gov- ernment to erect lighthouses on the “ Great Stir- rup,” “ Little Isaac” and “ Orange” cays, on the British side of the Bahama Banks, in order to ob- viate the immense loss of shipping in that vicinity which occurs annually, was adopted. Aregular meeting of the New York Sanitary ‘ociation was held at the Cooper Institute last ing. The attendance of members was very small in consequence of the summer flight to the watering places. The Chairman stated that active measures were in progress for the extension of sa- nitary projects, and no efforts would be wanting for the vigorous prosecution of the fall campaign, The subject of sanitary reform would be pressed on ,the notice of the Legislature. Dr. Holliday stated that he had in preparation a table of mor- tality extending over fifty-two years, from the year i804, showing 416,000 deaths in fifty-two years, 139,000 of which were children under two, and over 100,000 children under or of one year of age. When printed the table would be exceedingly interesting. The Chairman made some remarks on the excessive mortality of city of New York as compared with the cities of Providence, Philadelphia and Boston, and thought that this fact was attributable to faulty ‘y measures. The proportion of deaths in New York was four times more than Providence, three and a half times more than Philadelphia, and three times more than Boston. In Providence, as in London, it was one in fifty; in New York it was one in twentyseven. The utility of public baths was also discussed, and after propositions for the furtherance of the object were made a discussion ensued, and the Board soon after adjourned. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced abot 500 a 600 bales at unchanged prices. The market olesca quictly at about the quotations given in another column. The estimate of the etock on hand in thiscity yesterday was cot fnily completed, but it was believed that in store and on ehipboard, not cloared, it would reach nearly 40,000 bales, about 33,000 of which were held on zhoro, The demind for Western snd Stste brands of flour was limited, snd prices were lower. Southern was in good requert, while sales were to a fair extant and prices without. change of moment. Good to prime pew wheat was in steady demand, and prices un changed, while common and inferior icts were unsettlo( and noglected. Corn was rather firmer, with sales of old mixed in tore at 80c., Now éo., aflor tt, at S1c., and round yellow at83c. The stock of pork bel pg some 20,C00 bbla. less than the amount on the first of | be previous month, imparted more firmnets aud activity to it in the forenoon, which, however, was meagun bly jost in the afternoon; sales of mess were made at $147 5a $148734, ond of prime at $10 60 2 $10 76: ‘Meee closed at the irside Ogure.

In three short months Italy has gained more from the protecting band of Louis Napoleon than ehe could gain in a decade of centu- ries from a thousand Mazzinis, Her carcer in peaceful self government ‘is initiated; no third hand codes and constitutions are forced upor her; and, above all, she is shielded from the vrata! rule of the red revolationist and the assassin, In thus work of peace- ful popular reform in Italy Louls Napoleon has laid the leaven for the whole of Europe. Gari- baldi has ecen this, azd has not lifted his voice against the Napoleonio policy; Kossuth has felt it, and is still silent, although Colonel Asboth tells the Hungarians here that all iy over; Klapka, Teleki, and hundreds of others, men of action and men of speech, have not protested against it, Let, then, Mazzini and Louis Blanc sink into the bathos of meaningless fine phrases, and there rest in oblivion, while the rest of their countrymen enjoy the prosperous era which the Napoleonic ideas have opened to France and Italy. Democratic Candidates tor the Mayoralty. As the period approaches for the nomination of individuals by the democratic party to the high position how filled by Mayor Tiemann, the deep waters of the Pewter Mug and of Tammany and Mozart Halls are daily becoming more troubled and muddled in relation to the course to be pursued upon the subject of our future mu- nictpal government. It is generally understood that Mr. Fernando Wovd will, in any case, offer himself as 2 candidate for the Mayoralty; aud the rival aspirants for the chief magistrasy of the city in Tammany Hall are Mesers, William D. Kennedy and Isaac V. Fowler. So indefa- tigable have the exertions, in their respective spheres, of all three of these geatlemen been, that they have managed to retain ‘until the present time a monopoly of the candidacy mar- ket, and itis therefore well that their claims upon public sympathy should be severally con- sidered. Mr. William D. Kennedy first attracted notice Some years ago asa small politiciania connec- tion with the late Lorenzo B. Shepard, Counsel to the Corporation. Ie had previously con- cucted, with good repute, a paint and putty store somewhere down town, and is said to be a very fair judge of those articles and also of glass, He is a brother of John A. Kennedy, at one period Chairman of the Republican General Committee, and still either a Commissioner cf Emigration at Castle Garden, or possessed ef influence in that institution. William D. counts, aaturally enough, upon the influence of his republican relative to secure for him no emall number of snti-demoeratic votes in case he shall be put forward by Tammauy Hall; but we scarcely think that this latter aspiration can be realized. He is, doubtless, a very amia- bie, worthy merchant, and it is sincerely to be hoped that he may have his quota of commercial prosperity in trading in paint and putty. Neither is there any objection, in case bis income is in- adequate to his wants, or he aspires to the dignity of official station, to his being appointed to some place more suited to his capacity in Castle Gar- den, or even to his having a clerkship in the Almshouse, or connected with the Street Depart- ment. His services might also be made profes- sionally valuable if the City U.all is ever rebuilt, and the aid of his jadgment contd bo secured re- specting the quality of material to be used, as far whe ts famuiar with it. But to make Mr, Kennedy Mayor would be simply ebsurd. He has neither the intellectual vigor nor the educa- tion indispensable for that important ofiice. Postmaster Fowler belongs to an ontiely ditte- rent class from Kennedy. His frionds consider him a “fine looking fellow,” aud he is alike gen- tlemanly in his manners arid well educated. He makes a very fair Postniaster, and practices largely at the bar. He issan old adeps in the ways of Tammany, and exercises control over an influential class both in the Wijzwam itself and in the Pewter Mug. Stifl, it may well be doubt- ed whether Mr. Fowler either ought to or will receive the Tammany nomina tion for the May- oraliy. In the first place, he cannot afford it. The hospitable qualities for vhich he is noted muet not be restrained within, the limits of five thousand dollars a year, upo a which only a very frugal city official could ma nage to eke out an existence. His present saleury, with its adjuncts, may be counted at nearly, if not quite, double that, and still we doubt whether our worthy } Postmaster considers wha’; he receives as any too much for his wants.

If the Mayor or the police authorities want any information in the premises, we might be induced to hand them over the batch of communications which we have received, as we presume the writers would have no objec- Jection to that step. It is very clear to our miad that these institutions are mostly all of a sample, and that it would be an act of public justice to root them out, or at least to revoke the licenses of all against whom any such charge as we have alluded to can be satisfactorily established.

The Lestination of the Great Hastern. We learned on W dnesday, by a private des- patch from Tondon brought by the Jason to St. Jobn’s that Mr. Lever had secured the privilege of starting the Great Eastern from Galway for this port; but it appears from the news brought by the Africa yesterday, which sailed on the same day, that the company have not accepted Mr. Lever’s offer of $100,000, and that the mon- ster veesel is to sail either from Portland, in Dor- eetsbire, or from Holyhead, on the 15th inst., and that her destination is to be Portland, Maine. We have also received a private letter by the Africa from our London correspondent, dated August 19, the day before the steamer left Liver pool, in which he seys: “There is now a prospect that Lever gets the ship.” Further, the London News of the 20th contains the following adver- tisement:— ‘Tie Great @@asrern rox Awenrca.—Tho Great Eastern is appotnted tolcave Holyhead for Portland, United States, on or about the 16th September. First passengers only will be taken. Passage monoeg (including steward’s fee and provisions, but withoul wines or lquors, which san be obtained on board), £18 to £25. State cabins ex- tra, Return tickets granted on iiberal terms, For pas- #eze and other tpformetion ayply to the Great Ship Com- peny (limited), 11 King William strect, London, E. C. From these conilicting accounts it is quite evi- dent that neither the starting point nor the deeti- nation of the ship was finally determined at the period of the Africa’s sailiog, aud we shall there- fore have to wait the arrival of another steamer from Europe for definite information. In view of the probability of her coming to New York, there has been much speculation as to whether she could enter our harbor at ali, It is pretiy clear that her entrance by Sandy Hook and the Na:rows would be very hazardous, if not impossible, as the soundings show a depth of only twenty-one teet at low water on the bar off the Hook. But there is no doubt, we think, that she could come eafely through the Sound, and run down as far as 106th etreet, the original northern boundary of the Central Park, where she could be readily reached by the Second and Third avenue cars, the former of which almost skirt the river side at that point, A glance at the accompanying accurate map of the Sound, with the ship channel and depth of water at low tide, will show the feagibility of this. fr! x [os le = as a \ Le \e 3 al \ a8 oj { 2: ar =! < ‘5 ~ o > oe tJ 3 LON®e it will be seen from this chart that, entering the Sound at Montauk Point, the Great Eastern will have an average depth of more than a hun- dred feet at low tide until she reaches Randall's Point, where the channel is only thirty-two feet deep—its shallowest measurement—until it reaches J0Gth street, where the depth is thirty- three feet. The draught of the Great Eastern, when relieved of her ceal, is only about twenty- six feet, and her maximum draught thirty feet, 80 that she can arrive at her anchorage off 106th street safely, even at low water. The chart of Long island Sound in the Coast Survey office at | Washington bears out the figures of the above map, showing that there is but one stretch of a quarter of a mile where there is not a depth of thirty-six feet and upwards at low water, and in this distance a depth of thirty-one feet and a half can be had. So that, should the Great Eastern be despatched to New York, no fears nor doubts need be entertained as to the possibility of her getting in here without any risk or dificulty whatever. Should she arrive here by this channel, and if she proves as ‘great a success as she is repre- sented to be, there is no doubt that many other vessels of similar dimensions will follow her in the course of time, locating their anchorage at 106th street; and the revolution such an event will work in this city can be casily foreseen, The island will be turned, as it were, upside down, and instead of the neighborhood of the And 50 i | thoughtless, bave aa yet raised their voices | up @ journalist for the guffca; ff thi ' ’ Me wes Ol ie party EMO NER nae Speech u..* | against the imperial sympathy for Italy and im- | people to be considered for a moment.

Tue Yerts or Conxripence Casstpy.—THe Morrve or tue Recexcy ww Kinuwe Wisek— The organ of the Albany Regency has begun to utter hideous cries, like a beast of prey of the feline species mortally wounded, or like a felon at the bar of justice who has become unmanned on hearing his doom pronounced by the Court. Unable any longer to deny bis treachery in violating the confidence of a private letter by permitting copies to be taken of it, well know- ing that they would be published in the New York papers, Confidence can do no- thing now bat groan and howl in the most pite- ous wanner, Th: butcher boy, caught in the fact with the blooiy knife in his hand, admits that he cut Wise’: throat behind his back, but denies that he inten’: d the wound to be mortal; he only meant to relieve him of a dangerous falness of blood to the head by an incision in the jugular, and it was the Henarp that did all the mischief by k the gash open when Cassidy meant to eta In other words, Cassidy and his con- federates sent copies of Wise’s letter floating about in order that they might kill him with the democratic politicians in the State; and they did accomplish this purpose most effectually. But, say they, no injury would have been done to Wise, and all would have been right, had not the Herat published the letter. As well might Cassidy have said, when he was a butcher's boy, that he did not intend to kill a fat ox when he smote it on the head and cut ts carotid artery, and that it was a party who purchased a quarter of the beef when it was skinned and neatly dressed that was the cause of the unfortunate animal’s death. The letter was already in circulation, and copies were sent all around, which settled Wise ay com- pletely as ifit had been published in every paper in the State. Having slaughtered him and cut him up, the Regency offer his carcass for sale as they would a round or a shoulder of beef, They sell his letter for twenty dollars a copy. Find- ing it thus in the market, our agent purchased it for the Herarp. And this was the very destination intended for the letter by the confidence man and his con- federatee. They so arranged the train to the mine, and so scattered the powder connected with it in the vicinity of a blazing hickory fire, that they knew a spark would fiy out, and, igniting the train, produce the intended explosion. Not that their victim was not already dead, but that their ageucy might be covered up, and that it might appear to the public that the death was the result of au explosion with which they hed nothing to do; like the incendiary, who first commits robbery or murder, and then sets fire to the building in or- der to destroy the evidence of his black deed, But “murder will out;” and so it has been in the case of the Albany Regency. The evidence against them is most conclusive, and the moral turpitude which they impute to others recoils against themselves. The convicted criminal as- sumes a mock heroic character, threatens and de- fies his judge when he has nothing more to hope for. But it is only a butcher boy in a lion’s skin, talking bluster and bravado. ‘Thou wears Hion’s hide! Doff it for ahame, And hang a calt’s skin on those recreant limbs. The object of the whole plot—the motive for killing Wise—was to send a packed delegation to the Charleston Convention. The idea was, that under the excitement produced by the letter the people would be precipitated iato co-opera- tion with the Regency in appointing delegates at Syracuse on the 14th inst, for the National Convention, and, by way of showing their indig- nation at Wise, run into the opposite extreme, and send men in the interest of Seymour and Seward. Before their plot could be un- ravelled and exposed their hope was to hasten through, that they might be «ble to sell the democracy at now sold Wize and his letter. But the true po- licy of the pooplo io to bide their time, aud not be precipitate. There is luck in leisure. Nothing can be lost by deliberation, but much may be gained. There is no need of haste. Let the peo- ple in every district have an opportunity of ex- the job and put it Charleston in 1860 as they have pressing their opinion. If they are not permitted to do £0 democracy is a sham and a delusion, for two or three corrupt managers may arrange the whole business, and throw the people over- board. But one thing is certain, and that is, that the delegates packed by Confidence Cassidy and the Albany Regency will not be admitted by the Charleston Convention. ‘The Intelligence OfficeemCompluints ot Scores of Victims, We are quite inundated with letters brought out by our recent exposures of the swindling practices of those who keep what they call intel- ligence offices, or employment offices, or clerks’ registry offices. If we were to publish all these letters their contents would fill one side of the Heratp. As we cannot devote so much space to them, we will simply recapitulate the princi- pal points. A large mojority of the communications which we have received have reference to one or two clerks’ registry offices. If the statements of the writers are to be believed—and we know no reason why they should not be—the offices that claim to be conducted on the most honorable principles are those that practice the vilest impo- sitions. A correspondent, writing over the sig- nature of “A Victimized Clerk,” says that he can prove one of them to be as bogus an institu- tion as any of the swindling concerns that have elicited the condemnation of this journal. Another relates, in shocking English and worse manuscript, his experience in search of a situ- ation as corresponding clerk in a Spanish mer- cantile house. Sometimes he was sent in search of employers who had no existence save in the fertile imagination of the intelligence man, and at other times sent to firms which, though hav- ing a vacancy for such an assistant, gave no authority to the intelligence office to send them any person. This latter dodge seems to be the one most in vogue with intelligence and clerks’ regiatry offices, They watch the advertisements in the Hpraxp, and send their registered clients to look after them. This the persons in search of employment could do with more chances of suc- cess if they read the Hurarp early in the morn- ing, and did not loiter around the intelligence offices waiting to be sent on such missions, Another correspondent thinks we were rather too lenient in suggesting that a few of these offices might be fairly conducted. He includes them all in the one sweeping category of bogusin- stitutions, and expresses his surprise that respec- table mercantile firms would permit reference to be made to them, or would lend themselves in any way to the business, instead of referring, when they want help, to the advertising columns of the Hernanv? Another uses the pretty strong phrase of “vile impostor” to designate the prin- cipal of one of theae registry offices, and tells how, after paying his fee, he has never, in a pe- riod of nine months, received any further notice from the establishment. Another, who signs himself “One of the Victims,” after relating the mode of his victimization, asks the very pertinent question, whether no legal steps can be taken to prevent this swindling business? be- cauee, if eo, he is resolved to have recourse to them. In answer to this quoetion we would sug- gest to bim, and to all others similarly victim- ized, the propriety of calling at the Mayor’s of of harpy who preys upon the unwary by answer- ing advertisements of young men looking for situations as bookkeeper, entry clerk, &c., di- recting them to call at a certain office in Broad- way; but they invariably call just too late, after the vacancy is filled, and be can only promise te interest himself in forwarding their wishes ou re- ceipt of a small gratuity. victimized in the mode described in the Henap a few days since—that is, by collusion between the keeper of the office and the desirable Pro- testant English or German woman. The latter is as much a fixture of the office as the bookkeper is, and invariably comes back next day from the A Staten Islander writes to us of a description Several correspondents mention their being house of her would-be employer, who has paid two dollars for his transitory treasure, This game is extensively practiced. Still another institution, of the same general character, is described as a boarding agency, — where boarding house keepers pay two dollara for the procurement of boarders who nevercome. © Having thus disposed of the intelligence offices, we find among our correspondence on that subject a letter, written in an elegant style of | caligraphy, good diction and unexceptionable orthography, and purporting to come from “an * English girl, who works hard for a living.” She _ likes fair play, stands up for her much abused class, declares that American homes are not the happy, well regulated ones that she has served in in England, and sneers at the aristocratic family in which che now lives because the head of it made his money retailing rum, and the mis- trees cannot write a line of correct Haglish, We sympathise with our disgusted English woman, but fear that there are many aristocratic families up town where she would find similar conditions existing. Finally, we come down to the mock auction shops. These establishments are allowed to re- main open in face of the fact that the fraudu- lent nature of their operations is as well known to the authorities as is the character of any other clazs of businese, and that the rogues who conduct and infest them are broughtup day after day on charges of swindling and dishonest practices. Surely no great public necessity re~ quires the perpetuation of mock auction shops. In relation to them, a remonstrance has been presented to the Mayor bearing the signatures of cumerous commercial firms, and asking the suppression of such nuisances. Public attention being now thoroughly di- rected to the character of all these licensed swindling institutions, we leave it to the au- thorities to take the necessary means to rid the community of such pests. We have done our duty in exposing their plans of os * Those who now a'low themselves to be impose” upon by intelligence offices will have them« selves to blame. AFFAIRS IN WASHINGION.
