The steamer New York arrived at this port last evening from Southampton, with the details of | European news to the 2d inst. Italian affairs were becoming more complicated, if possible. Garibaldi and Victor Emanuel had met to deliberate upon the letter of Napoleon, and the General had issued a stirring proclamation inciting the Pope's Swiss mercenaries to desert. The rupture between church and State in France was regarded as complete since the issue of the pastoral of Cardiaal Morlot, Arch- bishop of Paris, before regarded as a staunch im- perialist. The London press favor us with their views on the Harper's Ferry outbreak. The Times compares Brown's plot to that of Guy Fawkes, and argues that the fact of the attempt is evidence of the existence of elements of danger in our social system. The News is quite philosophical, and thinks the negroes exhibited wonderfal patience and generosity, but regards the conduct of the con- | spirators as calculated to impede the abolition of slavery in the Southern States, and especially in Maryland. The gales on the English coast during the latter part of last month were very destractive. Up tothe 29th ult. it was known at Lloyd's that ninety-six vessels had been totally wrecked, and five hundred and thirty more or less damaged, | while six hundred lives had been lost. | ‘We have later advices from Paraguay. Captain Page was received at Asuncion with those marks of respect which are pretty universally paid to the representatives ot our government; but it seems that in the meanwhile his Jesuitical Excel- lency Lopez had been concocting a scheme which” was intended to banish the last American out of the waters of Paraguay and every vestige of civili- | zation out of the country. Captain Page inquired by letter if there would be any obstacles | placed in his way in the free navigation | of the interior waters of Paraguay, which he | is now opening to the world. He was told that | he might ascend the Paraguay river, and when | he had accomplished that much, the govern- | ment would then receive his proposition to explore | the Pilcomayo and find a water course to the moun- | tains of Bolivia across the grassy deserts of the Chaco. But in this ascent of the Paraguay, Lopez placed him under the most rigorous restraints, hoping that he would break through some of them, and thus afford him an excuse to accuse the Ame- rican officer of violating the laws of Paraguay. It is against the laws of Paraguay for any man to cat wood, every twig in the land belonging to the government. The United States Exploring Expe- dition was not relieved from the observance of thia rule, and it had to buy its wood of the government officials at the cost of twenty dollars per cord— more than six times its value. The expedition had to pass points where there were no government officials to sell this wood, and they must conse- quently either cut it or come to a dead halt. Lo- pez hoped that the wood would be cut in this des- perate expedient, and the laws violated, just as he desired—so that Captain Page might never stem the current of the Pilcomayo. Not so, however. His Excellency was not aware that some fifteen or twenty tons of coal were stowed away in Captain Page’s little steam- ers, and that by using that economically his ruse might be avoided ; and so it was. Provisions were also charged at the same exorbitant prices, but the expedition bought nothing. In descending the Paraguay the steamers were loaded with Brazilian wood, and not another twig was purchased in Paraguay. We have received files of the Comercio of La- guayra. The general tenor of the intelligence is indicative of the speedy return of peace to Veno- zuela. The rebels were everywhere yielding to government, and prisoners were every day being brought into the chief towns. Arrangements were being made for the celebration of the birthday of the renowned Simon Bolivar, the hero of South Ameriean independence. Negotiations were also being made for raising a loan of $1,000,000. The receipts of beef cattle during the past week were again large, and the market heavy at an ave- rage decline of half a cent, though the range was about the same. Milch cows were plenty and dull at previous prices. Veal calves were also plenty and in moderate request. Sheep and lambs were active and 25c. per head higher. Swine were ac- tive at an advance of one-quarter of acent per pound. There were on sale 4,151 beeves, 123 cows, 701 veals, 14,833 sheep and lambs, and 6,000 pwine. Our Havana correspondents, writing on the 10th | the British Vice Consul. Rojas had been delive into custody. Among our reports of the movementa of the city politicians nay be found « correspondence that has passed between a committee of the Mo- ( Hall Convention snd Pernanda Wood, toe nor ince of that Convention for the Mayoralty. Mr. Wood, ia accepting the nomination, declares him- self im favor of—among other thiugs + general elevation of charucter in those who fl the padlic departments, and excluding bullies und rowdies ftom public employment. The Tammany flall elections for delegates to the various nominating conventions were held last evening. We refer to the advertising columns for lists of the dele kates chosen, The Young Men's Republican Cen- Wal Committee ineued a cail for a meeting last night, but atthe sppviuted bour no quor Plesent, and the meeting stauds further ad With regard to the recent election in this itis pretty certain that Mr. Jones, tae demogratio nominee, has been chosen Secretary of State, aud it is not improbable that the eotire Uces ticket bas been successful. The Board of New York County Canvassers met yesterday forenoon to canvass the votes of the 1e- cent election, The returns ot votea for several wards were canvassed, but with no material change from the revult already announced, The Hard Shell Democratic State Central Com- mittee met at Albany yesterdsy, to unke arrange ments for the choice of delegates to the Coarles- tov Convention; but after some consultation it was agreed to postpone action on the subject, and the Uonvention adjourned till the 30th of December, Ap yet we have no intelligence of the steamer North Star. Vessels which arrived at this port yesterday from the West Indies report experiencing tempestuous weather, but from the date given it ia unhkely that the missing steamer encountered it The brig Bolling Wave saw, subsequent to a = and Gibara, twelve wrecks ashore, mostly Ameri- H can vessels The brig Eline, from Turks Islands, spoke on the 5th inst. the ship Ophelia, with loss of rudder. The captain of the Elmir thinks thar if the Ophelia experienced the same weather that he did for the vext six days the ship must have gone ashore on Abaco, Captain Franklin, of the brig Reindeer, which arrived at this port yesterday from Port au Prince on the Ist inst., spoke the ship Harry of the West, from St. Thomas for Mobile. She had lost eight of her crew by fever, and her captain and the remain- der of her crew, excepting three men, were onthe sick list. The Harry of the West reported the ship Pocahontas at St. Thomas, having lost sixteen men by fever. The regular monthly meeting of the New York Academy of Medicine was held at the University, in Washington place, at eight o’otock last eveaing. A question raived ata former meeting, regarding the exclusion of reporters, and which had been referred to the Council of the Academj to report upon, was again brought up. The report of the Council, recommending that no action be taken in the premises, was read, aod on motion of Dr. Gris- com, the document was ordered to lie on the table. An interesting question in regard to the treatment of caries of the spine, and the best means for re- lieving patients suffering under this disease, thon came up and led to considerable discussion, iu which Dr. Stevens and others took part. The meet- ing soon after adjourned. There was not the requisite number of members present to constitute a quorum of the Board of Education last evening; consequently no meeting took place. The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday afternoon, but no business of the stightest interest or importance came up at their meeting. The number of emigrants arrived during the week was 1,715, making the number for the present year 71,691. The balance of the commutation fund is now $11,846 35. The cotton market closed with less spirit yesterday, while the sales embraced about 1,500 bales, on tho basis of 113sc. for middling upiands. The receipts of flour were free and the market heavy, closing at a decline of Sc. a 10c. per barrel, chiefly on common and msdium grades of State and Western. Extra brands were without change of moment. Southern flour was steady, with a fair amount of sales. Wheat was heavy and prices easier for common qualities, while sales were made toa fair extent. Corn was in larger supply and prices less buoy- ant, while the sales included some lots of new, at prices given in another place, Sugars were quite steaty, with sales of 600 hhds., 130 boxes and 3,800 sags Pernambuco, at rates given in another column. Pork was withoat change of moment. Sales of new mess were made at $15 123, and old do. at $15, and uninspested mess at $15 373;. Beef was steady and lard firm. Colfeo was firm and sales moderate. Freights were unchanged, while engagements were made to a fuir extent. The Presidential Problem—New York, the Balance of Power, Within Reach ofthe Charleston Convention. The division of parties in our late election upon the State ticket, in connection with the popular vote of the Commonweuith of 150,000 or more held in reserve, brings the Presi- dential problem within reach of the Charleston Convention. We think it no longer needs either argument or statistics to show that Know Nothingism, as an independent political eie- ment, has disappeared; we think that our late Northern elections, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, have satisfied every intelligent reader upon that point, and that in all proba- bility the Presidential contest in the Northern States will be limited to the republican and democratic parties. What, then, is the prospect? Upon an exact sectional division of the country on the Presi- dential question the South would be com- pletely overwhelmed, as will be seen from the comparative electoral vote of the two sections, to wit:— Total electoral vote of the Union (1860) Northern electoral vote (including Kansas) Southern electoral vote. Northern electoral majority.........0sesece seers 66 A majority of the whole electoral vote of 306 will be 154, so that the North can spare 3: electoral votes and still elect the President. Thus she could spare New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois, 31 votes; or, retaining these three States, she could dispense with Pennsylvania and California, 31 votes, and still elect her can- didate over the South. But when we come to add New York, 35 votes, to the 120 votes of the South, the question is settled at once in favor of the South. It will be readily conceded, in consideration inst., give further particulars of the extensive plans that had been entered into by certain parties for the circulation of forged bank bills, forged Postage stamps, and forged certificates of slave identifications all over the island. A New York engraver had made all the plates, and his letter, pressing for payment, brought about the discovery by the police. General Concha was to remain in Havana for some time after vacating his office. Maretzek sustained his reputation, and was again gathering many ounces into his pocketa, Later advices from Mexico recount the defeat of Doblado, near the town of La Encarnacion. A mutiny, excited by convicts, occurred in Ciudad Victoria on the 10th ult, resulting in the wounding of some persons and the death of others, although tranquillity was soon restored. There was some trouble with the government of Juarez, the British Consul,and Don Antonio Rojas, a colonel in the service of the federal government, in regard to the pryment of $11,000 which he hed demanded from of W. H. Seward’s “irrepressible conflict” and “Old John Brown,” that the Charleston demo- cratic ticket will carry every Southern State, including Maryland. We might then proceed to show that New Jersey and Pennsylvania, though decidedly opposition, are not republi- can States; that Indiana, Illinois, California and Oregon are democratic States; and that from all these it will be no difficult matter to pick up the thirty-four electoral votes necessa- ry to decide the question. But while to the democracy Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as we apprehend, are lost beyond recovery within the ensuing twelve months, and while Indiana is somewhat shaky, and Illinois exceedingly doubtful, we are compelled to fall back upon New York. And we prefer to do so, because New York, added to the solid vote of the Seuth, settles the matter at once. With the whole South secured, then, the at- _ NEW YORK HERALD, THUR ‘ention of the democratic leaders and mana’ xem should be directed to New Yorks and the Charleston Convention should devote all its energies to ® conservative cundidate, satisfac tory to the South, and yet competent to carry New York, Such a man, we think, may be found. Batno New York candidate will do. Mr, Dickinson would never touch bottom in New York as the nominee of the Charieston Convention, His day has gone by. Horatio mour and any other New York politician we regard as equally aoavailable, But a Western man satisfactory to the South, or a Southern man satisfactory to the West, or a Northern man acceptable to all sections, may be found competent to carry New York. But no South- ern fire-eater or Western anti-administratioa man, or Northern man with Southern fire-eating principles, will answer, ‘The Charleston Convention, in the first place, nmst be prepared to stand upon. the brvad aa- tioval conservative ground of Mr. Buchanan’s admipistration; fur, while upon this Vain plat- form the rights and safety of the South will be guaranteed, all Southern ultra crotebets touch- ng the extension of slavery calculated to give offence in the North will be avoided. A West- ern, Nortbern or Southern democratic candi- dato in 1860 thus presented to the suffrages of the people of New York, in opposition to Seward or to his revolutionary and disuaion principles, would be almost certain to bring over to the democratic side the decisive electo- ral vote of this State by a very heavy majority. In this view wo rest our calculations upoa the reserved popular vote of trom one hundred and . filty to two bundred thousand, which this late 4 the Ist inst, on the coast of Cuba, between Huvana . election failed to bring to the polls—a reserved vote which may be safely classified as occupy- ing at best only a position of armed neutrality in relation to the republican party. Finally, should the Charleston Convention beat sbout the bush for a compromise with this man, that man, this clique and that clique, in- stead of concentrating its efforts for the vote of New York, the grand resnit will most probably be not the defeat alone, but the annihilation of the democratic party in 1860. Tucriow Weep on Cianacten—Comrromise Att Rovxo—Thurlow Weed has suddenly waked up to the importance of a good charac- ter, which we take to be a very favorable indi- cation of longevity in its possessor, with ease and comfort in his old age, provided things go right in Albany next winter. Taking for hiv text some silly and blustering remarks of the Chevalier Webb about everything in general and nothing in particular, Thurlow Weed, in one of his latest issues, makes the following brief proposition:— Preposterous as was the charge of the Naw York Hr- Rarp that the sevior editur of this journal is concerned ta the slave trate, we have beeo assured that iutolligent men at the South beheve it. Friends have insisted, there- that the habitof recklessly fulse accusation in the Hexatp should be rebuked; and unless this charge is im- mediately and 1uRy retracted, the Hsratp shall have the “opportunity of making 1 good.” ; In response to this proposition of Thurlo: Weed, we bave only to say that we are perfect- ly ready to enter into negotiations with him, and to make all necessary retractions for all the mistakes or unfounded statements we may bave made in reference to his character, pro- vided be will act on the principle of reciproci- ty, and make similar retractions as to our character, running over a period of nearly twenty-five years. Now Tor we Orst purt ofthis’ important ne- gotiation and fair compromise:— Some months ago Thurlow Weed’s jour- nal, daily and weekly, charged the South- ern democracy and all the Southern states- men, and Mr. Buchanan’s administration in particular, with conniving at the importation of slaves, and with seeking to restore the African slave trade. A Washington correspondent of ours heard from Senator Douglas an account of a number of vessels being expected in the Southern seaboard States with slaves from Africa. It was an exaggeration; but let that pass. This statement was published in our Washington correspondence. Immediately after Thurlow Weed’s paper seized on this as conclusive evidence criminating the administra- tion. On making some inquiries we found that the story was circulated by mischievous per- sons at the South, and we inserted a correction to that effect in the Heratp. Thurlow Weed’s paper, notwithstanding this, persisted in reite- rating the charges against Southern statesmen and the administration, and announced, as if ex cathedra and authoritatively, that he knew of the traflic being carried on at the South. We asked once or twice how it was that he could speak so confidently unless he was in the secret, and whether he was not by his own showing as much mixed up in these transactions, if there was reality in them, as Mr. Buchanan’s administration, which he had condemed on smaller evidence. We showed, too, that slavers were, for the most part, fitted out in Northern ports, including New York, and by Northern men of the republican stripe, and by Northern capital, and that, therefore, Mr. Weed was more likely to know all about them than Mr. Buchanan. We thus applied to his own lips the medicine which he had pre- pared for others, and asked him how he liked it. It had the desired effect. Its operation was decidedly healthy. Thurlow Weed ceased to accuse the administration of participation or connivance in the slave trade, and, of course, we can very easily withdraw any hypothetical recriminations based upon foundations laid by himself, and which he now admits to be false, denying all knowledge of the slave trade. Wer therefore, unhesitatingly believe and state that he was no more concerned in the slave trade than the Southern democracy and Southern statesmen, or Mr. Buchanan’s administration, and thus we restore our amiable contemporary to his usual peace of mind and good standing in the community. Stetson, of the Astor, will please to empty one of his best bottles on this point. Now for the other side of the compact. For nearly thirty years Thurlow Weed has con- tinued to repeat charges against us which originated with Old Noah, who, no doubt, has suffered for it in the lower regions—charges of bribery and black mail. We could not sup- port any party, or oppose any party, or, in short, do anything, that we were not bribed: Bribery and corruption were the foundation of the prosperity of the Hxraup. For nearly thirty years Thurlow Weed has reiterated those charges, which were without the shadow of a foundation from the beginning; for we defy him, or any other man in this country, to impeach our character, either public or pri- vate, for the last thirty-five or forty years that we have resided in this city and country. In this business we do not ask of Thurlow Weed to make any apology for the shameless allusions SDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1859. his journal bas made to the female and othr branches of our family, for we cannot believe him to be 60 mean as to have any personal conneotion with so disreputable a mode of war- fare against a political opponent. _He ought to have disavowed such things long since, out of his own sense of decency and propriety. Having thus satisied Mr. Thurlow Weed in the matter of his own character, we want to hear from bim in reference to his part of the compact, We wait, AxoruzR Oreratic Sensation.—The fashion- able world of the metropolis is to have another sensation at the Academy of Music to-night, in the déhd of « prima donna new to the Ameri- can public, Madame Albertini is not, like some of the singers who have preceded her here, an untried artist. She has sung in all the princi- pal Opera houses in Italy, and had a successful season at her Mujesty’s theatre at London. Io New York she will find an audience fastidiously critical, but at thesame time kindly and gene- ruusly disposed. ‘Bhe réle she has selected, thatof Leonora, in the “Trovatore,” is one that is especially calculated to provoke compari- sope With euch artists as Steffanone, La Grange and Gazzaniga, all of whom are fine artista, and as such hold the highest positions in the favor of the New York public. The high Euro- pean reputation of Madame Albertini will in- sure for her a fair hearing, but the American public will judge of her merits for themselves. Her ordeal will be the more severe on account of the failure of Speranza, which dashed the enthusiasm of the true believers in managerial apnouncements, and filled the hearts of the doubters with exceeding great joy. ‘The Operaseason so far has net been remark- ably successful. Out of the numerous engage- ments made by Mr. Strakosch in Europe, only one or two have found favor with the public. Several of the new artists have failed alto- gether, and others achieved only moderate suo- cees, which, in operatic affairs, is the next thing to a positive failure. The new opera, the “Si- eilian Vespers,” did not receive the atten- tion that a work of such real importance deserved, chiefly because some of the artists were not equal to the proper dramatic expres- sion of the réles assigned to them. Now, for the end of the season there are to be several novelties, and things look much brighter. In addition to the début of Madame Albertini, which will call out all the celebrities in the metropolitan circles of art, fashion, science and letters, two grand works of Mozart and Meyer- beer—the “Magic Flute’ and the “Hugue- nots”—are to be given, with the best distribu- tion of the characters that the Academy forces can supply. The “Magic Flute’ may be re- garded as an especial concession to the ad- mirers of classical music, and its production will be especially interesting to our German population. The patrons of the Opera will remember that in a very sbort time the artists will go to the provinces, and that after the first of next month there will ke no more opera till February. Boston and Phitadelphia will be the gainers by the loss of the metropolis, and the beau monde of those cities will prepare themselves tor a sensation which they may consider themselves very fortunate in obtaining, even at second hand. In the meantime, let us all make the most of the Opera while we have it. No public amusement “is so~refmed, so” agreeable, and, above all, so fashionable as the Italian Opera. Cuancr iy Tis Proprixtorsuip ov Tas Everett Hours.— In consequence of the delicate health of Mr. Clapp, tho pre- sent proprietor of this fine establishment, necessitating his sojourn for atime in a warmer climate, arrangements havo been made for transferring his interest in it to Mr. Britton, of Stanwix Hull, Albany. The Everett House is not only one of the most comfortable houses, but ono of the best properties in the city, and Mr. Britton is in every way qualified to maintain the high character which Mr. Clapp’s energy and administrative ability haye obtained for it. Dramatic and Musical Matters. Acapexy or Musto.—Madame Albertini, a prima donna who has an extended European reputation, will make her début in America this evening, and will sing Leonora, in the “ Trovatore,’’ a réle which she hag sustained with success in Italy. The new tenor, Beaucardé, will sing tho réle of Manrico—thus giving a furtherinterest to the oc- casion. On Friday, the “ Sicilian Vespers’ will be given for the last time. The Drayton Parlor Opera is attracting very good audi- ences to Hope Chapel. On this eyoning two now pieces will be presented, ‘ Never too Late to Mend,” and “Love is Blind.” During the evening Mrs. Drayton will sing a cavatina from the “ Rose of Castille,’ and Mr. Drayton will introduce the “Star Spangled Banner.” Mozart Hatt.—Mr. Charles Ferguson, the famous per- former on the Irish harmonic pipes, will give two concerts here on the evenings of to-day and to-morrow. WaALLack’s THkaTre.—The very popular play, ‘ Fast Men of the Olden Timo,’ will bo revived for this evening. Mr. John Brougham, having recovered from a severo in- disposition, will make his réntree in the part of Bucking- ham. All the other popular artists of the theatre aro included in the cast. PaLack GarpeN.—The “ Black Swan,” Miss Greenfield, will give two concerts here on Friday and Saturday even- ings of this week. Corer Ixstirer:.—Kemp’s Old Folks Concert Company will give concerts here on Thursday and Saturday evon- ings of this week. The singors will be dressed in the costumes of the last century. Primarmomic Socrty or New Yorx.—The first concert of the season by this society will take place at the Acade- my of Musio on Saturday evening.

Pmapeuria AcApeMy or Music.—This houso was opened on Monday for an Italian Opera season, undor the auspices of Misses Fanny and Agnes Horar-Natali. Tho “Trovatore”’ and selections from the “Figlia del Reggi- mento” were given. In tho ‘“Trovatore’’ Miss Agnes sang Leonora; Miss Fanny, Amcena; Signor Maccaferri, Manrico; Signor Ardavani,the Conte di Luna. In tho “Figha,”” Mise Fanny was the Maria, Miss Agnes the Mar- chioness and Signor Rocco the Sergeant. Tae Philadelphia papers speak of the debutantes in the highest terms.

Import oy Raw Mareatats at Bosron.—From the Boston Shépping List we gather the following statistics showing the receipts of some important articles of raw ma- terials at Boston, year endmg Sept. 1, 185% From theso receipts some idea may be formed of the great manufac- turing interests of Massachusetts and New England:— + 338,000 114,000 Mf 470,000 Should the manufacturing interest continue prosperous, the receipts of all kinds of raw materials the coming year will bo greatly increased. | The recelpta of many 0 = above articles, such ag cotton, hemp, sking, wool, &, greatly exceed those of New York. /?
