The News. ‘The steamship Europa, which left Liverpool on the 16th and Queenstown on the 17th inst., arrived at Halifax yesterday. The news is three days later than the advices previously received. The Great Eastern sailed for New York on the 16th inst., and the announcement of ber arrival be- low this port may be looked for at any moment. There is little news of importance with regard to the revolution in Sicily. The royal troops were leaving the island, and Garibaldi was actively en- gaged in organizing his forces. A congress of sovereigns was to be held at Baden on the day of the Europa's départure. The Prince Regent of Prussia and Napoleon had arrived there. The German sovereigns who are expected to take part in the conference are the Kings of Bavaria, Hanover and Wurtemberg, and the Grand Dukes of Baden and Hesse-Darmstadt. It is al- leged that the initiative of this Congress is attribu- ted to the King of Bavaria, whose object is to remove the difficulties which divide the States of the Germanic Confederation. ‘The annexation of Savoy to France was finally consummated on the 14th inst. G. P. R, James, the English novelist, is dead. ‘The financial and commercial news is interesting. ‘The London money market was somewhat easier. Consuls on the 15th were quoted at 93} 93) for account, ex-dividend. American securities were generally unchanged. At Liverpool cotton ‘was very irregular in price, and @ decline of one- eighth to one-quarter of @ penny on all qualities is reported. The weather had been unfavorable for the crops, which had advanced in price, while flour was quiet. Provisions were unchanged. Our special Washington despatch contains impor- tant intelligence from Spain. It appears that the Spaniards have become so elated with their suc- cesses in Morocco that they design having a dash at Mexico, making the necessity of preserving Ca- Da to the Spanish monarchy the pretext for their belligerent operations. And not only does Spain contemplate adescent upon Mexico, but the United Btates is to be called to account for the capture of the piratical Spanish war steamers off Vera Cruz not long since. The Senate met at noon yesterday, in compliance with the proclamation of the President, calling an extraordinary seasion for the despatch of executive business. No business of importance was trans- acted in open session. In executive session the treaties with Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Venezuela were ratified, and the treaty with Spain ‘Was discussed, but not disposed of, Jt will probably be ratified to-day. It is thought that the Mexican treaty will yet be ratitied. A large number of ap- pointments were sent in to the Senate by the Presi- dent, among them that of Wm. F, Russell, as Navy Agent at this port, in place of George N. Sanders, removed. The General Committee of the Tammany Hall democracy held a meeting last evening, at which resolutions were passed endorsing Douglas and Johnson and their platform, after speeches by Messrs. Belmont, Kennedy, Waterbury, Clancy, Chandler, Devlin and others. The resolutions may be found in our advertising columns. It was also resolved to hold a grand ratification meeting on Monday next, and to give it all the eclat which the occasion merite, There will be fireworks, bands of music, speeches, &c. The committee adjourned amid much enthusiasm. The Young Men's Democratic General Commit- tee also held a special meeting at Tammany Hall last evening. There was a full attendance of mem- bers. A resolution providing means for selecting delegates from this city to the Young Men's Demo- cratic Convention, to be held at Saratoga on the Sist of July, pursuant to the call of the State Com- mittee, was agreed to. A series of resolations was offered endorsing the action of the National Con- vention in nominating Douglas and Johnson, and adopted with great enthusiasm. The Houston Executive Committee met at their rooms yesterday, and issued a call for a State Con- vention, to be beld in Schenectady on the 18th of July, to nominate an electoral ticket and ® candi- 3 i co, with other items of Mexican news. It is said 3 5 § export. Pork was firmer, with gales of sow meas at $18 6254 a $18 75, and new prime at $13 75.

Freights were steady, with a fair amount of engagements, ‘The Demecratic Nominations—The Revo- lution at the South. The double nominations by the two divisions of the democratic party at Baltimore have con- founded the calculations of both the republican and democratic journals. They are all at sea, without compass, or rudder, or chart, and in the thick darkness which covers the subject there is no landmark visible. Some of the de- mocratic journals are for Breckinridge,some for Douglas, and some for neither, like thé Albany Atlas-Argus, which is waiting to find out the strong side. The republican journals, confident of victory for themselves, are specu- lating on the effects of the new order of things in the split camp of their opponents. None of them sees that it is the beginning of a revolu- tion at the South—a revolution not ef blood, but at the polls—and which will extend to the North, and establish a new conservative party on the ruins of the democracy, brought to the pangs of dissolution by foul corruption within. Ever aince 1828 there has been a powerful party in the South in opposition to the de- mocracy. In 1840 they elected General Harrison President, and were then known as whigs. They are now known as Union men. They consisted of the principal planters and men of wealth, who were not politicians, while the democratic party at the the South consisted of adroit and penniless professional men in the large cities and towns, whose followers consisted chiefly of “the non-slaveholding population. By combining with Northern politicians of the same stamp with therfiselves, they generally managed to defeat their opponents, and lux- uriated in political power and the spoils of office. Breckinridge is one of this class—a mere adventurer. On the other hand, Bell, of the Union ticket, represents the respectable and wealthy classes, identified with the great slave- holding interests in the South—the successors of the old whig party—which have overthrown the democracy more than once or twice, owing to ite dissensions and profligacy. Now, again, the democratic party are divided—divided be- tween Breckinridge and Douglas; and that not only at the North, but even at the South. They are rotten to the core; and in view of their corruptions and divisions, the opposition party, following the standard of Bell, who, unlike Breckinridge, has a stake in the community, will carry so many Southern States as to defeat either of the democratic tickets; while Lincoln, unless a political miracle hap- pens, will sweep the North, and be elected by the people. And the election of the candidate of the re- publican party may have a salutary effect upon the democratic party and on the South. He would be an excellent dose for the fire-eaters who threaten secession. They may have to swal- low him, bitter as he is; but they will not secede. On the contrary, Old Abe would cure them of secession, By their insane divisions the demo- cracy are broken up, North and South, Whom God would destroy he first drives mad. The days of their power are numbered, and the sceptre is about to depart from their hands. If the Union ticket should not be successful now, it is only because republicanism will triumph for the time; and the Union party at the South will become the nucleus of the opposition, which, combining with the conservative ele- ments in the Northern States, will overthrow the republicans in 1864, and transfer the rod of empire once more from the North to the South, but consign it to very different bands, The New York Tribune—the chief organ of the republican party—takes an opposite view of the case. It says that “ Breckinridge is the planters’ or slaveholders’ candidate,” and that “if Douglas is to be sustained at all, it must be by appealing from the weight of planter influ- ence, hitherto irresistible in Southern politics, to the yet untried force of numbers—a political party composed mainly of non-siaveholders.” This is all wrong. Douglas and Breckinridge will divide between them most of these non- slaveholders—the Kentucky man taking the larger share—while “the planter influence” will be given to Bell and the Union ticket. Breckinridge is not the candidate of the slave- holders, but of the professional politicians and non-slaveholders; and the “real democratio party,” which the Tribune expects to be “created now for the first time in the South- ern States,” has not only been created long since, but has grown into decrepitude and de- cay, and is about to perish and give place to “the planter influence, which has hitherto been irresistible in Soutbern politics,”’ when the times demanded an effort. That influence will be equally arrayed now against Breckinridge and Douglas, and overthrow them both. The re- cent events and complications in the democratic party are preparing the way for this denoue- ment, and hastening great political revolution in the South, which, on one side, will save the country from the threatened anarchy, and, on the other, from the the corruption which has been eating out the vitalé of public virtue, and paving the way to despotism and the ruin of the republic. Cusan Sraeets ayo a Heatrar Orrr.—The mortality report of the City Inspector for last week shows a diminution in the desths in this city greater than during the same period for the last three or four years. This fact is mainly due to the efficient manner in which the City In- epector himself is conducting the affairs of his From the peculiar location of New York—its facilities for sewerage and ventils- tion, its two fine rivers and open bay—it ought to be the healthiest city in the world; and it is evident that it cam be made so, simply by keep- ing the streets clean. If we escape any epidem- fo sickness this summer it will be due, ander Providence, to Mr. Delavan, and we trust that his efforts to give usa clean and healthy city will be heartily seconded by all our citizens. While the dissolution of the democratic party releases the South from its despotic rule of the last twenty years, and will operate ia that sec- tion, under Bel! and Everett, te tring inte ¢he foreground & substantial conservative Union party, somewhat resembling the old whig party, there is a good prospect of o similar reaction in the North. As the parties in this contest now stand, Douglas occupies the position of a mere filibus- ter or gaerilla fighter, not expecting anything but an annihilation in the general battle of November, but employed by his ad- herents to watch the roads and cut off a bag- gage train here and there in our Northern local elections. His supporters seem te entertain the idea that he has a boundless popularity, and that, in spite of all the heavy odds against him, his name will enable his partisans to elect a This is a lamentable reduction of the original Douglas programme; but even this we fear is too much. The Brock- fnridge ticket, with the administration at its ‘book, will really leave Mr. Douglas without any of the sinews of war for the presett, and without any collateral securities for the future. On the other hand, the independent conserva- tive members of the democratic party, lopking to the future from the ruins of their party camp, in the North as well as in the South, will be very apt to fall back upon the ticket of Bell and Everett, as affording the best existing nu- cleus for a new, sound and healthy national organization. The mercantile and manufacturing classes of the North, like the substantial slaveholders of the South, are eminently conservative in their political instincts, habits and opinion. Their interests make them #0, These substantial classes of the community are, therefore, as much opposed to the “irrepressible conflict” of the North against the South as they are to that wild Southern faction which seeks to lead “ the cotton States into a revolution,” and a separate Southern confederation. The Bell ticket, North and South, at this mo- ment, represents a large proportion of the solid wealth of the country. Out of the existing con- fusion of the democracy, and considering the sectional limitations of the republican party, this Constitutional Union party, so much ridi- culod of late for its weakness, will soon be respected for ita strength. Should the election, by any lucky chapter of accidents, be thrown into Congress, the contest in the House will be between Lincoln, Bell and Breckinridge, and in the Senate, most probably, between Hamlin and Everett, as the two highest candidates from the people. In this event the only compromise upon which the House will be able to agree for President will be John Bell; and should the House fail, Everett, by the action of the Senate in having elected him Vice President, will become the President. But assuming that Lincoln will be elected by the people, it is safe to predict that his party will begin to fritter away from the moment he begins to divide the spoils. From that moment this Constitutional Union party will begin to shine as the rising sun, and the heir apparent for the succession—a great homogeneous national party North and South, resting its cause upon the solid Gnancial, commercial and industrialgnterests of the country, and upon a suspension of this ter- ible slavery agitation which has wrecked all our defunct Presidential parties of the last forty years. Tue Sraeer Daraxtwent anv THk Common Covuncu..—Several contracts for repairing and improving the streets have been accepted by the Street Commissioner and Comptroller within a few months past; but, owing to the dilatoriness of the Common Council in taking action upon them, the work has not gone oa. These con- tracts, unfortunately, require confirmation by the Common Council before they can be acted upon, and thus many useful and necessary pub- lic works are retarded in consequence of the prevailing eystem in that body never to confirm anything until arrangements are made to suit themselves. In some instances it is found more convenient to have work done without any contract at all, as in the case of cleaning the streets, which the City Inspector does on his own responsibility; but work in the Street Department, being less urgent, cannot so readily be undertaken in this way. It is to be hoped that when the Aldermen get through with boring the Japanese they will give a little attention to the business of the Street Commissioner's Department. There is a large amount of work to be done, and the sum- mer should not be allowed to pass away without completing ee ee A Jon ron New Yorx Mecuantos.—The direo- tors of the Great Ship Company have sent the Great Eastern to sea with a foul bottom, that materially retards her speed, because they had no dock large enough to dock her, and Jobn Bull had not sufficient ingenuity to cleanse it without a dock. We must send her back from here with a clean bottom, in order to show our cousins across the water that in New York some things can be done as well as others. We bave plenty of submarine contractors, men in armor for working under water, and all sorts of contrivances for amphibious purposes, and we call upon them to come forward and clean the bottom of the Great Eastern. Our New York mechanics always have been equal to every de- mand upon them, and we do not believe they will be beaten now. next place, if we mistake not, Herschel V. Johnson was a red hot seceasioniat in 1861, and this puts a stop to the Douglas cry of “disunionists” aguinat the other wing of the party. How often it is that when luck turns against «man every- thing turns against him. In euch @ case “it never rains but it pours.” i lieving, no doubt, that they would not do it. ‘They were taken at their word, and thus check- could not nominate the small politician who would transfer the Regency from Albany to Washington, they became maddened, and in their desperation nominated Douglas, knowing not only that his election was an utter imposai- bility, but that his nomination was the entering wedge which would divide, demoralize and destroy the democracy. The Albany Argus lets the cat out of the bag, and admits that the New York delegation never meant to have Douglas nominated bona fide— that is, nominated by the united democracy. Their voting at Charleston for the two-thirds rule, in its largest sense, s0 as to mean two- thirds of the whole electoral college, proves this fact, for they admit that they knew from the beginning he never could get two hundred and two votes, By their own confession, there- fore, they used him, in the language of Dean Richmond, as “ a standpoint”—a fulcrum on which they might plant their lever to liftSeymour out of the mire of their dirty Albany politics into the Presidential chair. And when they failed in their design, they voted against their own two-thirds rule at Baltimore, and nominated Douglas by a majority, because they thought his name would help them in Western New York in their local elections for the State Legislature, which Richmond has declared to be of greater importance to him than thé Presidential elect- ion, or the stability of the Union. Mr. Douglas had 80 many enthusiastic friends to reward, and had made so many promises, that these cunning politicians saw clearly enough that by a fair di- vision of the spoils there would be little or no- thing left for them. He did not, therefore, suit them as a candidate, but they thought it conve- nient to use bis name as a party watchword in their local contests for the possession of the State spoils, including the rich placers in this city, which cast into the shade the federal plun- der of Custom House, Post Office, Navy Yard and all. On the whole, the Albany Regency have reason to feel proud of the feats they have accomplished within the last few months. Like harlots, they glory in their shame. Tux Derarrore or Tue Jaranesx.—It is an nounced, on the authority of the Naval Commis- sioners, that the steam frigate Niagara, which is to convey the Japanese Ambassadors and suite to their beloved Niphon, is now quite ready for sea. Immense packages of luggage marked in the Japanese character are now being stowed away between the Niagara’s decks, and the ser- vants of the Embassy are hard at work packing up for the start. The Ambassa- dors will embark on Friday and sail on Saturday of this week, baving accomplished all the objects of their special mission. The currency question, if not definitely settled, has becn put in train so that the greatest obsta- cle in the way of Western intercourse with the East may be considered as virtually done away with. We have the best authority for stating that the Japanese princes will leave our shores with the most favorable impressions of the country in general, and of the metropolis in particular. The remembrance of the little contrelemps at Baltimore and Philadelphia has been quite ob- literated by the magnificence of their metropo- litan eurroundings. They have been exceed- ingly gratified with their superb quarters at the Metropolitan Hotel, and by the unremitting courtesies of the Messrs. Leland. The neat workshops and manufactories of New York, the splendid shops, the superb life-panorama of Broadway, the private entertainments which have been given them by Mr. Belmont and other citizens, have interested the Ambassadors ex- ceedingly. Atttogether they regard their stay in the Jedde of America as the crowning glory of their Western voyage. Whatever may be the result of the Em. basey, so far as commerce is concerned, the metropolis has performed its portion of the work well, like the dowager who took her daughters to hear Sydney Smith preach, and not being able to get in, went away, remarking, “ Well, my dears, it can’t be said that we have not done the correct thing, at all events.” So we have done, #0 far as money goes, the correct thing by the Japanese. They have had a right royal reception—one worthy of their rank and of the populous and industrious nation which they represent. They carry away with them nume- rous fine specimens of American manufactures— sewing machines, watches, firearms and other articles, useful and ornamental. From this aus- picious beginning, it seems to us, there must spring a lucrative trade. Before many months shall have elapsed, the Yankee schooner’s sharp nose will be poked into every accessible Ja- panese port, and American goods will be as common In the marts of Jeddo as in the bazaars of Havana or Rio Janeiro. Under these circumstances we can afford to pay a pretty food sum for the Japanese reception ‘without grumbling. Our merchants will get it all back again bofore a great while. A New Srsrex or Maxno Monst—Setima Bas, Troxers.—It will be seen from 8 commu- nication in another column that the tickets iseved by the Corporation, avowedly free of coat, for the grand Japanese reception ball on Monday night, were a regular article of com- merce in the market, and brought from ten to forty dollars apiece. Several parties, it ap- pears, were hawking them round for sale during the day, and it is stated in the communication referred to that some of thom, at least, were purchased from a “respectable com- nected with the municipal departments.” Was it an Alderman? As aft’ Sede ticketa passed through the hands of the Aldermen — “4 Oouncll- men, it was most probably somé of them “0 put them into the market for sale. We should like to know which of them it was who adopted this system of making a ready penny by the sale of gratuitous invitations to the ball. Tox TorerySarra Oowonsss—Cuansorenss- ‘TI03 OF THE Fras? Saaston.—We ought to be very thankful to the genius who invented the law under which members of Congress are paila yearly salary instead of a per diem allowance, a3 under the old régime. The difference in tho manner of recompensing our servants saves us at least a month in the long session, which has just now been concluded to the infinite relief of @ long suffering country. In looking over the record of the Thirty-sixth Congress we are forcibly impressed with the peculiarity of its main characteristics; first, the manner in which the members conducted the public business, so far as they conducted it at all; and second, the studious way in which the how not to do it rule was practized when any }. important measure was to be acted upon. The republicans, who had the business of the House in their hands, stood pledged .to the country in favor of postal reform; of modifica tions in the tariff; of the Homestead bill, and of the Pacific Railway. That these measures were introduced simply for the purpose of manufac- turing political capital, every one familiar with the secret springs that govern the opera- tions of partisan organizations was fully | aware long ago. Now it is apparent to all. The Tariff bill was so clumsily coa- structed that the committee which concocted it could not explain its provisions, and it fell through, as its originators intended it should. ‘The Pacific Railway scheme was another bubble intended to catch a few votes in the Western and Pacific States. The Homestead bill, patch- ed up between the House and the Senate, was passed, to be sure, but in such a form that it would have done more harm than good to the parties for whose benefit it was ostensibly enacted. The President promptly put his veto upon it, a circumstance which should gain for him the praise of every sensible man in the nation. The most important measure of those we have named was that in favor of the exten- sion of mail facilities and a general reform in the Department, including the abolition of the franking privilege. The Post Route bill pro- vided for a daily overland mail from the Mississippi to the Pacific, » measure which would have released the people of California from the clutches of the Panama monopoly, and paved the way for the Pacific Railroad; but this was too much to expect from Congress, and the House, at the latest moment, refused to pass the bill. ‘Thus we have seen that Congress spent all the public time in President making, in partisan quarrels, in such silly and stupid investigations asthat of the Covode Committee—which only proved what everybbdy knew before, that the politicians of all parties are utterly corrupt and altogether unworthy of public confidence—or in endeavoring to blacken the reputation of one of the purest statesmen that has ever eat in the chair of Washington. > We need say only a few words as to the per- sonal character, the manners and behavior of @ majority of the members of the Thirty-sixth Congress. The session commenced with a row; the ensuing contest for the Speakership was diversified by several @isgraceful scenes on the floor of the House; the course of debate was in- terrupted very frequently by the blackguard- ism of certain notorious members, and the Con- gross broke up in the same delightful way in which it had commenced, the very last words that were said before the Speaker laid down the gavel he has handled so feebly being @ request that the Riot Act should be read. The members of Congress, as a general rule, have been as noisy, as turbu- lent and as ungentlemanly in their conduct as the strikers and blowers who have been saving the country, according to their idea, or trying to ruin it, according to ours, at Charleston and Baltimore, It is very hard to say these things of an important branch of the government of a republic from which the friends of free institu- tions all over the world have aright to expect #o much. But they are solemn truths, and they must be made known, as the first step towards the reformation of the abuses to which they refer. ‘Tue Camraion anv THe Wasninoton Oncans.— The Washington party organs are among the last remaining excrescences of that ancien ré- gime in our political affairs which ruled the country before the independent press, railroads arid the telegraph were brought into the general service of mankind. But these excrescences at Washington have continued to-exist upon the Grippings and pickings and stealings of the public printing, and being now altogether taken away by the new law establishing a government printing office, what are these spoile organs todo? They must expire, or brush up and keep pace withthe world around them. The old Intelligencer will probably hang on for a long time yet, and the Constitution will, we suppose, be kept above water while Bowman has the Senate printing, to wit, till the 4th of March next. This miserable organ has been a great incubus upon Mr. Buchanan’s administration. Bowman, from his printing spoils jobbing and trading with Wendell and Rice, and all that set, should have been sent packing home long ago. The good nature of Mr. Buchanan overruled the @ictates of wisdom in this matter, and has con- sequently given him a world of trouble. But the unluckiest of all these Washington party organs is that unfortunate concern called originally the States, but latterly the States and Union.

RATIFICATION OF TRRATTRS. ‘The bunineas of the Senate to-day, in excoutive session, ‘was exclunively confined to the consideration of treaties, ‘and resulted in the ratification of the Extradition treaty ‘with Switzerland, and those of commerce and friendship with Bolivia, Venezuela, Honduras and Nicaragua.
