The British government has officially notified President Buchanan that the Prince of Wales will shortly visit Canada, and that he will proceed directly from Canada to Washington. The Presi- dent has not indicated what steps he will take in regard to this event, but there is no doubt the Prince will be received with ali the respect and honors due to his present and prospective position. The letter of Mr. Breckinridge formally ascept- ing his nomination for the Presidency by the Sece- ders’ Convention at Baltimore, has been received in Washington and will be published to-morrow. The encampment of the Seventh Regiment at Camp Scott was the scene of great attraction yes- terday. Religious exercises were held at the camp, and the Rey. Mr. Weston, of St. Luke's Episcopal church, delivered an eloquent and im- pressive sermon to the regiment. It is stated that at least three thousand persons visited the camp during the day. Lieutenant General Scott, it was thought, would visit the encampment during the present week, but has been obliged to decline do- ing so on account of temporary lameness. The letter from our correspondent at Vera Craz furnishes us with the details of the news from that portion of Mexico. It was thought that a battle had been fought at Guadalajara between the troops of Ogazon and Miramon, but™no particulars are furnished. Mr. McLane had been with neuralgia, but had perfectly recovered. The steamer Wave, which was prominent in the Marin fillibuster expedition, was totally wrecked on the bar of Tuspan on the 12th ult. The Spanish bri- 4nd Cobos sili continued to ravage the lower portion of the State of Coaxaca. A letter from a correspondent at Elatsop, Ore- fon, published in our paper to-day, gives much im portant information in regard to the extent, soil, climate and productions of that State. Our corres- pondent proposes to continne his letters, and to lay before our readers such facta as will entitle them to come to a correct conclusion as to the ad- vantages and disadvantages of making a home in Oregon. Progress of the Political Revolution The Republic Danger. The political revolution, which commenced some time ago in this country, is still im pro- gress, and none can tell where it will stop or what new party will replace the old, When the corruptions and divisions of the democracy re- sulted in its breaking up at Charleston and Balti- more, the republican journals and leaders cried out evultingly, “Now we have asure thing—the game is in our hands.” But it turns out, after all, that there is no certainty; on the contrary, Among our extracts this morning will be found | ‘fan interesting letter from the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, of London, who was at Baden-Baden during the re cent meeting of crowned heads at that place. Mr. B. writes strongly and forcibly, and in plain !an- Guage gives his views of the distinguished persons composing that conference, By an account published elsewhere, it will be geen that the neighborhood of Washington Heights hos become a refuge for some of the burglars who have been driven out of the city by the efforts of the police.

A systematic and harassing at- tack has been going on for some time upon te Commissioners of the Central Park, with a view to establish against them charges of ex travagance, proiligacy and favoritism. together with a general mismanagement of the affairs of the Park. To this end o Senatorial Investigat- ing Committee was procured at the last session of the Legislature, the proceediags of which were fully given ia the Henato. The tavestign lion proved a fizzle; not a single charge of the serious character preferred could be substan Uiated, ard the Comailssioners came out of the furnace unharmed. Some of the newspapers which have been aid- ing and abetting the attacks, having failed in their endeavors to effect anything before the committee, now resort to making general charges tgainst that portion of press which, insti- gated by adesire for the public benefit, and antious to see the work on the Park go on without interruption, condemned the spirit in which the investigation was conceived. A weekly paper assert that every one of the journals which evi an amicable feeling towards the Commission- ers in this controversy has a hostag it good opinion on the pay roll of the Central Park.

Iu wheat the market war heavy and | doubts and fears are casting their gloomy sha- dows over the minds of the republican chiefs. They are alarmed—they say there is “danger.” In proof of this we refer to a remarkable article, reprinted in another column, from the Albany Evening Journal, headed “The Single Danger.” The old stager takes the horo- scope of the political heavens, and he sees in the horizon “a little cloud, like a man’s hand, rising out of the sea,” but growing larger and blacker every moment, and threatening at last to over- spread the whole firmament and explode in a terrible crash, carrying destruction to the hopes which the republican party had cherished. “Nothing in politics,” says the Journal, “is more fatal than to underrate the strength of the enemy. This is being done just now to an alarming extent by the republicans. It will result in disaster, if it leads to nothing beside exuberant anticipations. The sooner the con- viction presses itself home, that we must work systematically or be beaten, the better.” Whence this sudden alarm? It is the progress of the revolution, which, having disposed of the democracy, now menaces the republi- can party with the same fate. When revolution breaks out in this country it is im- possible to say where it will end. It cannot be arrested by governments or the tricks of di- plomacy. If the physical force revolutions in Europe, in 1848, had not been stayed by stand- ing armies and the combinations of tyrants, they would have gone forward till now, or till that section of the globe was revolutionized. But they were stopped by kingeraft and priest- craft for ten years. The moral and political revolutions of this country cannot be suppress- ed or checked in the same way, for there are no dynasties and no standing armies, and there is no power superior to the people, whosejown in- telligence is their guide. Once break down the barriers of party organization, and it is like the giving way of the artificial embankments which confine the Mississippi, near New Or- leans. “The King of Floods’ pours his waters through the crevasse, and deluges and lays waste the country far and wide. None can say with certainty what will be the extent of the damage, or the duration of the inundation. Thus no politician can determine the limits of the political revolution, which, like the “Father of Waters,” now sweeps the land. Before three months the republican party may full be- neath the surging waves of the popular will. We cannot yet tell how this may be brought about. For instance, seeing that there are four candidates now in the field, the friends of Mr. Seward may advise him to make a fifth—being cheated out of the nomination by Greeley— and his chances, if he were now in the field, being as good as those of any other candi- date. Or, supposing that the democrats of the North make ‘up their minds, even at the eleventh hour, to run but one candidate, and that candidate Mr. Douglas, and supposing that the conservative elements would rally around him for the purpose of defeating Lincoln, what would become «f the republican candidate in that event? And, assuming further, that in the South the conservative Union sentiment should pntrate its strength on Bell, and carry a jority of the Sonthern States, defeating the | Southern sectioaal ticket of Breckinridge on the ery same grounds as the Northern sectional icket of Lincoln, either Bell or Douglas might be elected, or there would be no election by the people. And who can predict what the re- sult would be in Congress, or whether, with the revolution in progress, and parties in a transi- tion state, even the Presidential ¢ before the aseembling of Congress, might not catch the revolutionary contagion, and de cide the question themselves in a manner very different from the programmes of the shattered and disorganized parties who elected them? If parties are broken up and the authority of con- ventions overturned, by what ties are the elec- tors to be bound? As there is cheating all round, may not a sufficient number of the eleo- tom cheat, soas to change the apparent result contest in November ; or may not others ot them conclude that, under the peculiar and anomalous circumstances of the times, there is } of th | | | | ‘ a discretion vested ia them to be exercised rather in favor of the country at large than the fragment of a disrupted party? This isa supposable case. It may or may nothappen. We cannot tell where the revolu- tion will stop, or what may be the complexion of the new party who will take the reins of power on the 4th of March, 1861. When the French revolution broke out in Pais in 1848, it would at first Lave been satisfied with a change of ministry ond some reforms. Nat when these demands were refused, and when the popular fury gathered strength by opposition and delay, even the deposing of the monarch was not ient to appease it- the whole dynasty must be swept away, and the very forms of monarchy iteelf. So may it be now in the United States. It is evident that the seor of Albany fears this consummation. He says:— “We refer to the subject now because we are impressed with the danger to be apprehended from the spirit of over confidence which pre- ils everywhere, Altogether too much is being taken for granted. It is the single cloud in our political horizon, and it cannot be dis- persed too soon.” These miagivings of the re- publican proy are as ominious as the vatici- | nations of Cassandra, who warned in vain the | confident T: aus of the dangers which resulted in the destruction of their doomed city. The revolution is in progress, and no power on carth can stay it till the will of the people is satisfied. Ticucs or Gas Coxsummns.—By the report 0 a case against the Manhattan Gas Company which will be found in the Supreme Court reports, it will be seen that, though there is a monopoly in this city which is very ia, ations to gas consurm yet the compa nust not have everything their own way, illegal demands upon our citizens. mandomus wee issned by Judge Ingrabam, & the gas company to supply Mr. Geo. im, of Proadway, with gas, without ex acting « deposit fee for a meter, or show canse to the contrary.

Senator Gwiy’s QvarReL wrrn THE PResi- pent.Some days since an altercation, repre- sented by Washington letter writers as being 4 serious and angry one, took place between the President and Senator Gwin, of California, when, it is stated, the latter turned his back on the White House, vowing vengeance, in a po- litical sense, on Mr. Buchanan. The origin of the difficulty has been stated in a variety of ways, but we believe that none of the specula- tions in the matter were correct. The following will probably be found to be the real facts in the case. Senator Gwin, after Congress had ad- journed, without making provision for the ocean mail service te San Francisco, waited upon Postmaster General Holt, and requested him to make a contract with Commodore Vanderbilt for carrying the mails in his steamships. Mr. Holt declined doing so, on the ground that he had no authority to make any such contract. According to our Washington despatch of yes- terday, Gwin and two other Senators reminded Holt that one of the conditions of defeating Senator Hale’s bill providing for a daily over- land mail was that the mails should be sent by steamships; but Holt, if there had been any such arrangement made, declined to carry it out. After some angry discussion on the subject, Senator Gwin appealed from the Postmaster General to the President, but there he met with a similar response. The law vested no discretion in the Executive Department. The only power that the Postmaster General or President could exercise on the subject was to allow the mails to be carried for the amount of postages, and that remuneration was indignant- ly rejected by Vanderbilt and his associates. This refusal of the President to violate the law, at the request of a Senator, was the sole cause of Mr. Gwin’s animosity. It may be, too, that in the course of the in- terviews with the President and the Postmaster General, both those functionaries may have al- luded to the fact that it was through the culpable remissness of the body of which Mr. Gwin was a member that no provision was made for the transportation of the California mail by the isthmus route, and that if the Se- nate, instead of spending months of the session in manufacturing a platform on which the de- mocratic party was to be broken up at Charles- ton and Baltimore, had attended to the practi- cal business of legislation, neither that nor other important measures might have been neg- lected. The truth is, that the Senate showed itself to be, during the last session, devoid of the chief elements of a deliberative and legis- lative body, abandoning itself altogether to the unseemly practices of a political convention. It is not to construct political platforms, nor to make Presidents, that Congress is convened an- nually, but to attend to the general legislation of the country; and when Mr. Buchanan very properly declined to outstep the limits of his discretion, even at the request of a Senator, he administered a merited rebuke to the Senate and took a position in which all good citizens will sustain him. Hoy. Massa Greenery ty Hts Great Two Horse Act.—Greeley is to the political arena what the celebrated Spangles, who rides two horses at the same time, is to the circus. Just now the philosopher of the Tribune is doing the most dangerous acta of equilation with the old, lean, lank black republican horse, Abe Lincoln, and the young Kentucky stallion, John C. Breckin- ridge. In this case extremes meet, and Greeley has as incongruous a team as could well be imagined. Greeley bears his weight on Old Abe, but stirs up Breckinridge occasionally by a cut at Douglas, and a puff for the old hard shell war horse, Dickinson. The scrambles of the rider in his efforts to maintain his equilibri- um on the backs of bis nags are ludicrous in the extreme. Nothing like them has been seen since Raymond's famous tight-rope operations. Occasionally be gets the horses pretty well to- gether, and he goes tearing round the ring with the tails of his old white coat sticking out behind, and his hair streaming in the wind. Then they grow restive; Oll Abe gets ahead of the Major, who runs and kicks aw- fully, so that poor Greeley is in danger of com- ing violently to the ground. But he must keep them going—the interests of his party demand it. When the democracy was split into two sections at Baltimore, the republicans waxed giad and shouted with exceeding great joy. They declared that the election had virtually been held, and that it would be a good idea to build a rail fence around the White House im- mediately, so that it might “look natural” to Old Abe when he came to take possession on the next 4th of March. Now, however, they are beginning to awake to the important fact that the battle is never won until it has been lost, and that their chances are not so goodas to cut off all possibility of the election of a candidate other than Old Abe. Hence Masea Greeley’s two-horse act. Hence his encouraging words to the friends of Breck- inridge. Hence the Trilune’s attempt to widen the breach in the democratic party by working up the Breckinridge section. The dodge is not a bad one; but if Hon. Massa Greeley is not ex- ceedingly dexterons, he may fall off bis horses and break bis political bones, Hold hard! Wuat ts to ne Doxe wit Horrmant—We were informed by telegraph from Utica that Frederic Tiefimen, late Secretary of the Pacific Mail Steemship Company, bad been arrested at that place by two New York detectives. We are as yet without further information as to the move- ments of the officers. It will be recollected that about six weeks ago it wos discovered that there bad been a fraudulent issue of the Pacific Mail stock, and that Hoffman had absconded. It is not known, officially, to what extent the bogus stock has been mannfactured, but it is under- stood in the street that the frand is not one which will materially injare the company. Hoffman was arrested on @ charge of forging two checks for fifteen hundred dollars each—a proceeding which looks singular at first sight If it is the intention of the government of the © Jon to settle this affair outside the law, we protest, on the part of the public, against it. The stockholders of the company may be protected, but that is a matter of secondary importance. If Hoffman was a rogue, let us know it and let him be punished. If he was cor faleations can be compromised and felonies compounded with impunity, it is high time that the people who have their money invested in Wall street should look out for it. In this mat- ter of Hoffman and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company there should be a most rigid investi- gation through the only proper medium—a court of law. We cannot afford to leave the matter in the hands of the detective, or rather defective, police. Tut Murra Five Netsance.—A short time ago a New York Grand Jury presented as a nui- sance the system by which persons placed on the roll of ununiformed militia are fined for non- attendance. The fact ofthe fine or commuta- tion money being only seventy-five cents per an- num shows how little value is attached to the attendance, and that the whole system is a mockery and asham. Every man, no matter how poor, if he can command seventy-five cents, will prefer to pay it rather than lose his time and make himself ridiculous by appearing among the “awkward squad,” who are seldom or never armed with anything better than broom- handles. The attendance of so few at the annual parades out of all who are bound to at- tend isa plain proof of the inefficiency of the law. If the attendance is desirable or of any importance to the State, the fine for absence ought to be commensurate—say ten or twenty dollars, or even fifty or a hundred dollars. But how the annual attendance of non-military citi- zens at a parade, which at best is only a farce, can ever make soldiers of them, or in any way serve the State, we are ata loss to see. Besides, there will always be a sufficient number of men who desire to volunteer their services in the uniformed companies, so that any compulsory law is entirely unnecessary. As the case now stands, the fines are levied in a way that inflicts hardship on some of our citizens, and the State derives no visible benefit from the proceeds. The fines exacted in this city amount to some eleven thousand dollars per annum, and of these we understand no re- cord iskept. What becomes of the money it is difficult to say. If the seventy-five cents com- mutation money is not paid within a certain time, a fine of three dollars is imposed, and a warrant issued for its recovery, which authorizes the officer to take even the delinquent’s clothes, the exemption law in this case being inopera- tive. In many cases the person against whom the warrant is issued is not liable for military duty at all; he is either under or above the age, or he is not a citizen, or he is a fireman, 9 appointed to do jury duty. He may be from home, and this judgment may be taken out against him in his absence. It is only neces- sary to serve with a notice the house at which he is supposed to reside. If he be at home, he must lose his time by attendance before military courts to prove that he is legally exempt from the duty and fine sought to be imposed upon him. A case occurred a few days ago in this city, in which a defendant's goods were taken by the officer and placed on a cart, and when the officer went into other houses to levy other fines, the party took back his property; whereupon a prosecution was commenced against him for larceny, and he was brought before a police magistrate. The whole community are crying out against abuses like this. The system is, therefore, a nuisance which ought to be abated. Sup Canat Across te Istamvs or Hot- steIN.—The Danish government has recently had its attention directed to the vast importance to its trade and commerce of constructing a ship canal across the Isthmus of Holstein, so as to connect the waters of the Elbe with those of the Baltic, and we understand that it has granted a concession for that purpose to a wealthy German company. A glance at the map will show the immense importance of such awork. The distance from the port of Ham- burg, on the Elbe, to the Gulf of Lubeck— assuming those to be the termini of the pro- posed canal—is probably some seventy or eighty English miles; but from Lauenburg, on the Elbe, to the city of Lubeck—whence the river Trave affords water communication to the Gulf—would not be more than half that distance. Vessels engaged in the Baltic trade would therefore, by thts ship canal of, say fifty miles in length, be saved the tedious and dan- gerous navigation of over a thousand miles around the Skagerrack and down the Sound— a navigation in which millions worth of pro- perty and bundreds of lives are annually sacri- floed. The American government is much interest- ed in this great work of internal improvement; for our trade with those coasts is larger, per- hape, than that of any European nation; and the extent of the Baltic trade may be conceived when we state that 30,000 vessels, with cargoes valued at over $400,000,000, annually pass Eisi- nore, where formerly the Sound dues were col- lected. The opening of railroads in Russia, Sweden, Poland and the countries on the Baltic will vastly increase the trade. European govern- ments are manifesting much interest in the enterprise, and it has been suggested that our government should have an agent in Holstein to look after American interests in connection with the work. We presume that matter will not be lost sight of. With ship canals over the Isthmus of Suez, the Isthmus of Darien and the Isthmus of Holstein, the commerce of the world will be benefitted to an incalculable extent, ———- A Year or Pixwty.—From all parle of the country we receive the most satisfactory ac- counts of the harvest. The extent of ground under cultivation is greater than in any pre- vious year, and the husbandman’s labor is promised a rich reward. The creat cereal crops, wheat, rye, oats and corn, are generally ina most flourishing condition; and ever or- chard fruits are more abundant than they have been for many past seasous. The receipts of grain at Buffalo, Chicago aud Milwaukee have Leen unprecedentedly lore within the last few months, showing that the farmers are hastening to cmpty their granarics to make room for thi« year's produce. The effect of this is telling upon the business of the Western railroads generally, but especially upon the two groat trunk lines from Buffalo to tidewater. When, in connection with Uuls liberal harvest, ft is recollected that the season has been wnpro- pitious in many parts of Europe, and that espe- cially in Great Britain a dearth is beginning to be apprehended, it will be seen that the pros- pects of a most prosperous season for our agri- incompetent for his position, and was used as a | cultural and commercial classes, and through tool by the sharps in Wall street, let ns know | them for all classes of the community, were sll about that. The directors of the great froneyed corporations must be held responsible for the shortcomings of their employ’s, upon never better than they are now. With such evidences of the inestimable bless- ings of peace and of the Union of these States, whom they should keep a strict watch, I de- ' it would be steange iadeed if political agitators of any party, or in any section of the Union, should succeed in stirring up dissensions among | list of those which have already struck to one our people, or inducing them to take any step | or other of the factions, which will be found towards severing the bonds which bind these States together.

All sorts of preparations are being actively made over the whole of Canada in anticipa- tion of his coming. Even in the remotest vil- lages, where the scion of royalty is never likely to set his foot, tongues and hands are busy about him, and there is no doubt the occasion of his visit will be one vast jubilee from St. Johns to Toronto, and from that down to Que- bec and Montreal. The Clifton House, we believe, will be his quarters at Niagara; and there, while, on the Canadian shore, he listens to the roar of the grandest cataract in the world, he wili see, only a few yards removed from him, the soil which, in his grandfather's day, was British, and will thus have a fit opportunity for reflection both upon the mighty handiwork of nature on the one side, and that of a free people on the other, who are sprung from the same parent stock as | prove unavailing.

These last are natural bonds, which can never be entirely Douglas mov: broken; and we hope the day may never come when they will be found weaker than we find republicans, them now.

The larger number of those which have not yet decided are Northern papers, and are, no doubt, fishing round both parties to see whick will ‘pay the highest price for them. Another curious circumstance is, that several of the Northern papers which have run up the Doug.- las flag have at the same time expressed their to stand on two stools at the same time. In the South, several of the papers that have de- clared for Douglas were formerly the hottest leans True Delta. It is obvious that in this for Breckinridge, and the greatest the South the federal and the local publig plunder all go one way, while in the North they are turned in opposite directions.

If they sincerely mean to do so, they will have enough to do, for it is now rather late to undo their work at Charleston and Baltimore. But it ia probable that they have no serious intention 6f producing harmony, and that they intend to throw the State into the hands of the republi- can party. If they cannot succeed in carrying’ it for their own man, their game is to give it to Lincoln, and receive in return their share of the State spoils and a fair propor- tion of the federal plunder. John Cochrane and Fernando Wood are earnestly engaged in bringing about some harmonious arrangement for a single ticket, but their efforts are likely to tee may, and probably will, adopt a single tick- That section claims the right to set up an opposition ticket, and can do so. There may, therefore, be two tickets in the field. The New York Tribune, which at first encouraged the ‘ement, is now equally anxious that, Breckinridge should run in this State. The of course, want two democratid tickets. The Albany Evening Journal, the organ of of Douglas, and thus encourages his faction ve articles with approbation, echoes their opinions, thus urging democracy to the same point. The reason is that both journals have a common in- terest and @ common purpose. It is said the Regency are divided among themselves as to whether they will run Douglas without com-> promise, or form a joint ticket with Breckin- and about Douglas at Charleston and Baltimore, At both placer, however, they voted for hime alone, and it is probable they will do so to the take good care their own private interests will be provided for in whatever arrangement they Exrcvrion or Tae Prats Eicxs oy Brovok's Istaxp.—The pirate Hicks is to be hung om Friday next on Bedloe’s Island, and it is ramor- ed that several steamboat Proprietors sare ar- ranging for trips down the harbor, for the pir- pore of gratifying the morbid curiosity of that portion of the community who delight in the re- volting spectacle of a public execution. We sincerely trust that this intention will not be carried out. We hope tha‘ the people of New York will conduct themeelveson this occasion with the propriety and decorum which charac- terised them on the recent vislt of the Japancee, and thus respond to the carpings of the provin- cial press, which is perpetually misrepresenting od exaggerating the immorality of the mie tropolis, by showing that finer instincts and better tastes prevail in the metr »politan com- munity than ng the provincial and rural Populatious. We had a forcible and painful example of the bad taste and utter indecency of the people of a country district in the occur. tences which took place in the village of Belwi- dere, New Jersey, on Friday last, at the exeen- | tion of the Rev.
