New York, Satarday, June 9, 1860, The News. The Africa arrived at this port yesterday with Earopean advices to the 27th ult. The news is very stirring and highly important. The accounts of Garibaldi’s movements are con- flicting, but it is evident that up to the 23d ult., the latest date received from Palermo, he had been generally successful, and a supplement to the Genoa Morimento of the 23d states that he had enter- ed Palermo with nine thousand infantry and a squadron of cavalry amid great popular enthusiasm, and that the Neapolitan troops had laid down their arms. A despatch from Naples of the same date, however, says that the revolutionists encamped near Palermo had been beaten twice, driven from their position, and pursued for some distance with considerable loss. It is quite certain that up to the 224 of May Garibaldi had not entered Palermo; but the fact that he had been able not only to maintain his position, but to gain ground, is evidently greatly in his favor. Our London correspondent states that the enthusiasm in England in favor of the Bicilians is immense. Our Paris correspondent informs us that the ex- citement in Naples consequent upon the Sicilian insurrection was very great, and that the King was Preparing to flee. < The by Rassia to the great Pow- ers for inquiry the condition of the Christians in Turkey had caused considerable correspondence between France and the other great Powers. A Tumor was current in Paris that the Moniteur was about to publish a speech from M. Lavalette to the Sultan of so alarming a character as to throw the Sicilian insurrection into the shade. The treaty of Zurich had passed the Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies, and the discussion on the treaty of the annexation of Savoy and Nice had been set down for the 25th of May. Considerable excitement existed ia Berlin and Paris concerning certain letters, written by the Prince Regent of Prussia to Prince Albert relative to Napoleon IIl., and which had mysteriously come into the hands of the latter, full particulars of which we give elsewhere. Tt was announced that the monster steamer Great Eastern would positively sail for New York on the 9th inst—to-dsy. Should she answer the expecta- tions of all parties, her arrival at this port may be looked for on Monday week. The financial and commercial news by the Africa is of the same date as that received by the Prince Albert. Our London correspondent states that Mr. Dow" ling, the referee in the late prize fight,had con feased to a confidential friend that he had $500 staked on Sayers. We have advices from Venezuela to the 15th ult. ‘There was still but little improvement in the affairs of that country. Gen. Monagas was making pre- parations for a campaign, and it was said that Gen, Herrera, one of his partisans, had left for the Uni- ted Btates with the intention of purchasing steam. ers to aid tne former. On the other hand, the actual government seemed determioed to carry on the war, and Congress had authorized it to borrow five millions of dollars for that purpose. (Gen. Castro ‘was still in prison. By the steamship Baltimore, which arrived onthe ‘7th at Baltimore from Havava, we are in receipt of later advices from Mexico. There is no additional news of any consequence. Our Havana correspondent mentions the report of another slaver having been captured, with 400 negroes on board, making a total of over 2,000 at Key West. The murderers of Aguero were gar: | roted on the morning of the 2d. } Bat little business of importance was transacted in Congress yesterday. In the Senate a bill to carry into effect treaties with Japan, Siam, China, | and other Fastern nations, was passed. About forty private bills were also passed. In executive sersion the Senate confirmed a number of appoint. mr bts, including that of Mr. Appleton, as Minister to Russia. In the House the consideration of the Missouri contested election case was resumed, and Mr. Barrett, democrat, was ousted from his seat, and | Mr. Biair, republican, put in his place, and duly qualified as a member. The report from the Ja- diclary Committee, declaring that the House dis sents from the doctrines contained inthe President's protest message relative to the action of the Covode Committee, was taken up and adopted bya vow o 87 to 40. Messrs. Houston and Taylor, the minority of the committee, presented a counter proposition | which they offered as a substitate for the original but the chairman of the committee, Mr. Hickman Tefused to entertain the subject. Mr. Houston said it was understood he should have an opportu- nity of offering his report, and owing to the dis- courtesy of the majority Messrs. Houston and Tay Jor declined serving any longer on the Judiciary Committee, but pending the question of excusing, the House adjourned. Oar despatch from Washington states that the veteran Major General Jesup was strack with paralysis yesterday morning, and last night there | ‘was no prospect of his recovery. Another meeting of the Commissioners appointed to ascertain the damages cansed by the destruction of the Quarantine buildings was held yesterday, Counsel for one of the claimants raised the point + that damages could be recovered not only for the netual loss at the time of the destmuction of the buildings, but also for lorses resulting as a conse quence therefrom. This is an important point, aii) ‘ NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1860.—IRIPLE SHER especially ao far as claimants are concerned. After argument the Board adjourned till Wednesday, when 8 decision on this question will be rendered. ‘The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons held their fourth session at Apollo Rooms yester- day. The election was completed, and the offi. cers were duly installed. A large amount of business was transacted of but little interest to the public at large. The difficulty in regard to the Eastern Star Lodge was, after a epicy debate, dis- posed of by suspending from office the officers who conferred the two degrees upon the candidate. The Excise Commissioners held a meeting yes- terday afternoon, at which they granted thirteen licenses. The extraordinary punctuality shown by the Commissioners in holding their daily meetings is in consequence of the opinien of the Governor, expressed in his last Message to the Legislature, to the effect that the term of the commission ex- pires annually on the 12th of July, and that the fifty meetings should be held between the Ist of May and that date. The cricket match between the New York and Philadelphia Cricket Clubs was concluded yeater- day, and ended in a draw. The partisans of Bell and Everett, the Union Presidential candidates, held a spirited meeting at the Cooper Institute last evening. A full report of the proceedings is given in to-day’s paper. The News by the Africa--Pregress of thé Amsurrection im Sicity. From the accounts received by the Africa, there no longer seems any doubt of the success of Garibaldi in his movement agaizet Palermo. The story of his defeat at CalataSmi turns out, as it was believed to be, a weak invention of the enemy. The division under Landé not only gained no advantage over him at that place, but was itself routed and driven into Palerme at the point of the bayonet. Out of the 6,000 men who had been sent to oppoee him, it is stated that 1,500 had returned without arms, and the rest had either deserted or been taken prisoners. Of a similar character to the government account of this affair is the despatch published in the Patrie, announcing that, on the afternoon of the 21st, the troops concentrated under the walls of Palermo had given battle to the volunteers of Garibaldi and compelled them to retreat on the road to Partenico, We have now accounts through the Turin Official Gazette down to the 24th, which represent Garibaldi as menacing an immediate attack upon Palermo, the heights round the city being in poesession of the insur- gents. It is added that General Lanza had demanded an armistice, but that it was refused him. He seems to have adopted every precau- tion of defence that military experience could suggest. His army has been concentrated under the walls, so as to enable him to give battle with his whole force, and redoubts have been erected at elevated points commanding the roads. With an insurrectionary committee actively at work inside the city, the agents of disaffection as busily employed in his owa ranks, and a leader like Garibaldi ready to desh in and take advantage of every opportu- nity that these influences may give him, it can be seen that the royal force, though numerically strong, is not to be relied upon, and that the position of its chief is one of the most discour- aging that a commander can be placed in. It is therefore probable that the next arrival will bring us the account either of the complete de- feat of the government troops under the walls of the city or of their desertion to the insur- gents en masse, thus compelling the capitula- tion of their leader, who, with a disaffected population in his rear, will find it impossible to effect his escape to the government frigates cruising off the coast. As regards the prospects of the insurrec- tion in the other parts of the island, the news ia equally satisfactory and inspiriting. Al- though no actual rising had taken place at Messina, the feeling of the population of that city had been manifested in the departure of large numbers of its inhabitants and the deser- tion of a portion of the garrison to join the in- surgents. Not only were the latter receiving continual reinforcements from the interior of the island, but large parties of volunteers were disembarking along that portion of the coast extending from Cape Boco to the river Girgen- ti. They were bringing with them all the stores, arms and ammunition necessary to provide for fresh levies of volunteers; so that the obstacles anticipated from the unprepared condition of the insurgents would appear to bein a measure obviated. Asfar ae we can glean from the conflicting accounts published on both sides, the above statement presents a tolerably exact view of the position of affairs at the latest dates. The apnouncement made in a postscript by the Opinione Nationale, that Garibaldi had rendered himself complete master of the island, and had been proclaimed Dicta- tor, we regard as premature. . By this time, however, both events may have been ac- complished; for, once master of Palermo, w. do not believe that the government troops could be got to make a stand against him any- where. These mercenaries have been kept to- gether only by large pay and gratuities, and the moment they find the royal cause and their own privileges seriously endangered, it will be impossible to count upon their fidelity. So rapid have been the progress and success of the insurrection that it carries us on in ad- vance of events. Before even Palermo is cap- tured we are led to Inquire what will be the | next etep taken whenever Garibaldi is maste- of the principal seaports. Will he lose time iz giving political effect to his conquests, or will he at once invade the mainland, and take ad- vantage of the enthusiasm excited there by them? Judging from the impulsive cha- racter of the man, and his usual tac. tice, we should say that he will no sooner have hoisted the national colors on the walls of Palermo and Messina than he will make a dash for the Calabrian shore and trust to the same chances that awaited him in his descent upon Sicily. If Naples isto be freed, no time must be left for foreign intervention to stay the course of the insurrection and to confirm the existing dynasty in the porsession of the re- maining half of the fair dominion which they have #0 shamefully enslaved and oppressed We perceive that Austria has already sent » flotilla of armed stenmers to the Neapolitan coast, with what object remains to be seen. It may be intended merely to afford refuge to the royal family in the event of their being com- pelled to fly from the, impending revolution. But it may aleo be used to defeat the efforts of Garibaldi and his volunteers to effect s ‘and ing. Matters are now hastening to « crisis which will compel the European governments to show their hands. Naples once freed from her oppressors, the means and manner of her deliverance may serve as precedents for the liberation of Vere: (4 Rome. Corruption tm Official Positiem—A Lesson from Jona Ball. When corruption has invaded official posi- tion everywhere, as seems to be the case at the present time, the sudden appeerance of aan in- stance of honor and honesty in high places comes, like a rose in the desert, with an ea- hanced beauty and fragrance. The developements of our own investigating committees reek in the face of the community; but those recently brought to light in Austria surpass anything that we have yet exhibited. Asa general thing we do not doubt that the extent of corrupt practices in Europe, and par- ticularly on the Continent, surpasses anything that we can yet show. Russia has long been known as thoroughly steeped in official cor- tuption; the Eynatten frauds leave Austris without the shadow of a claim to honesty in official position; the Crimeaa | Committee disclosed 2 disgusting state of things in the contract department of the English government; and the operations of the Credit Mobilier in Paris have always been considered as intimately connect d with official turpitude, although no investi- gating committee washes the dirty linen of the empirein public, We believe it may be eet down asa general principle that all the monarchical governments of Europe are more inbued with official corruption than is our own republican form, bad as we have come to be, although a recent occurrence in the British House of Commons leads us to suspect that, 80 far ab regards a lack of honesty in legislative bodies, we surpass our English cousins. The case we refer tois an accusation brought against Lord Clarence Paget, junior Lord of the Aémirality, of being a partner in a ship bulid- ing and owning house, and therefore an im- proper person to open contracts. His lordship met the accusation at once, and in a manner which reflects the highest honor upon him. We republish the debate in full in another column, a8 a worthy lesson to our own members of executive and legislative bodies. We commend the observations of Lord Paget to the consideration of the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, and par- ticularly to the attention of those members of Congress who may be more or less interested in claims before Congress—railroad schemes, land grants and mail contracta—by corporations ofwhich they are members or attorneys, A study and a due regard on their part of the motives which induced Lord Paget on one occasion to decline official position, and on anotber to sel! his property ata sacrifice that he might accept it, would not only improve our legislative bodies, but would go far towards giving a healthy tone to public opinion, and checking the spirit of corruption which now pervades official position among us, whether it be high or low. The present acts of Congress and State laws to prevent detriment to the public interests in such matters are not as full and as explicit as they ought to be. It should be made a felony for any executive or legislative officer to become person- ally interested in any matter in relation to which he has any official power or which is pending before any of the public depart- ments in which he may have official influence. An equal evil to the incompleteness of our laws exists in the laxity of public sentiment in rela: tien to official corruption. The public itself might check a large portion of the malprac- tices by visiting with a proper reprobation the cases of interested action on the part of public officers which do come to light’ Not only do these not receive that condemnation which they deserve, but they are tacitly ad- mitted to be emart things, and the man who makes a fortune through them holds up his bead among us without a blush and without re- buke. Even more: this eame public openly consents to the framing of a code of libel laws, by these very peculating and corrupt legislators and officers, under which the public journalist who exposes these infamous practices is pro- nounced guilty of felony, and incurs the risk of serving a term in the State prison, while the true felonies go unpunished, and even unre- proved. It is time that public opinion should begin to move in this matter. OrrictaL Reception oF THE JaraNesE Ix New Yorx.—We publish to-day the official pro- gtamme arranged by the Committee of the Common Council for the reception of the Japa- nese Embassy, and also a description of the manner in which the Messrs. Leland have prepared quarters for the guests of the city. The Ambassadors may be expected here about the 18th, and sightseers from the provinces will do well to arrange their affairs so as to be here on Monday week. We are very glad to learn that the Aldermen show some disposition to take the advice we have given them from time to time, and that they are getting up in their Eoglish very rapidly; with hard work all next week some of them expect to be able to put together a few eentences with a decent regard to rhetorical aod grammatical rales. We hope they will keep as clean aad sober as possible. The reception, according to our sug. gestion, commences with a grand military dis- play, which will attract thousands of people from all parts of the surrounding country and from other cities. We expect to see a crowd only a little less than that which participated in the cable celebration two years ago. We heve before referred to the unofficial preparations to do honor to the Embassy, the projected fetes champetre and the grand ope- ratic matin ¢, when Signor Muzio’s original Ja- panese March will be played. There will be a good programme, and the Ambassadors can en- joy Cortesi’s fine performance, hear the won- derful high note o: the tenor, Masiani, about which the entire fas! {oaable world has been in & state of excitement since Wednesday last The directors, howev:r, must make some ex- traordinary police arrangements to repress the rush of crinoline, whi lh will be something tre- mendous. At the Picco!omini matinées the ladies used to beusve aa badly as the unterrifed demo- cracy at big meetings ia Tammany Hall. The crush atthe Accdemy doors was so dense, and the struggle so fierce, that many of the fair craft received serious damage to their sails and rigging, and were ohliged to lay by for repairs. Of course this crowd will be quadrupled for the Japanese matin ¢, and it may frighten the Ambassadors into committing suicide on the spot. The Indies must restrain their curiosity, or be kept away from the Japanese altogether. The dictates of common humanity and the in- terest: of South street alike demand some Little sacrifice at the bande of the maids and matrons of Manhattan. Why do they aot hold a meeting aod arrange sont definite plan as to the man- cet’. which they will receive the Embassy? The subject '- « very serious one, and deman is mmediate - ention.

Scrantou’s district ia Penn- ‘eytvania at the time of his election. Ooi George San- dereon, banker, of Scranton, testified that he did ux know of money being used to elect Col. Scranton, and ‘that none wes disbursed through his bank for suck pur- pose to his knowledge. He informed the committee that the great change in the district in fsvor of Col, Scranton es agninat the administration, was on account of the ua’ popularity of the democratic candidate, who endorsed Lecompton. Then a large number of coal and iron opera- tors, miners and Jaborers in the mines, furnaces and rolling mills, were dissmisfied with the low wages they were receiving, and believed it. to be im conse- quence of the went of « tariff, and they believed thet Col. Scranton was just the man to go to Congressend remedy the evil, and accordingly they voted for him, knowing him to be a conservative man. Mr. J. Henry Puleston testified thet he traveled throug the district during the contest, and never knew of any improper means being used to influexce the election of Col. Scranton; that it was partly brought about by Scran- ton's extreme popularity, and the greet disgust generally felt in bie district towards the present atmiaistration From this last fact be received the support of many of the leading democrate of the district. Dr. A Davis, editor of the Scranton Herald, a democra tic organ, etmed that be supported Col. Scranton; that bq néver réceived a doller for it, nor was be awate thai money was paidto apy one. The unpopularity of the democratic candidate, and the popularity of Scranton, elected the latter. Mr. D 8 Koon, a lawyor of Pittston, at whose instiga’ tion, it is eaid, the charges against Colonel Scranton were brought, could testify to pething having s material bear ing cn the cose, and Governor Winslow declined exemia- ing apy more witnesses, declaring that he was satifies that there was no foundation for the report, and he would take an early occasion to vindicate Colonel Scranton ageinst the charges upon the floor of the House. It will be remembered that the difficulty between Mesers. Train & Houston originated in the desire of Go- vVernor Winslow to obtain this evidence. The committee became so mortified at the position in which Koon placed them, that the Chairman informed him that he might go; that the committee had decided not to pay mea for at- tempiing to black mail the government.
