The News. The steamship City of Baltimore , which lett! pool on the 4th and Queenstown on the Sth instant, arrived at this port at an early hour yes- terday morning. Her advices are one day later than those received by the Vanderbilt, but they contain little of importance. The panic in the hide and leather trade continued, but no additional fail ures had been announced. Consuls on the Sth closed at 93) a 984 for account, ex dividend. No change of importance had tasen place in the Auneri can produce markets, The new steamship Connaught, from Galway on the evening of the 10th inst., is now about due at St. Johns, N.

Minister McLane was a passenger on board the Brooklyn, and would proceed to Wash- ington. Nothing new had occurred in the political and military affairs of Mexico. At last accounts Miramon was at Lagos, eudeavoring to reach the city of Mexico. We have received by the Aeronaut, Capt. Sher- man, files of Georgetown, Demarara, papers to the 18th ult. The weather had been showery for some time, aud favorable for planters’ operations, and there was every prospect of heavy crops.

The weeting was presided over by Judge Wm. Mitchell, of the Sapreme Court. It was neither lurge nor enthusiastic. There were not more than 1,500 per- sons present at any one time, and a goodly number of those appeared to be adherents of the Douglas democracy—giving counter cheers for their favorite. Speeches were made by Horace Greeley, Rufus F. Andrews and Dagiel Ullmann. The raia which esme down about ten o'clock dispersed the meeting. About noon yesterday a fire broke out in the railing manufactory of William Van Tassel, located in Pig alley, which runs through the centre of the block bounded by Washington, West, Charles and Perry streets, in the Ninth ward. The buildings iu the block consisted mostly of wooden tenements and workshops, and‘stables occupied by the New York Ice Company. The flame spread with in- credible rapidity, and before they could be sub- dued thirty buildings and twenty stables were totally destroyed, involving a loss of property esti- mated at one hundred thousand dollars. The in tense heat of the weather, combined with the in- tenser heat of the conflagration, told severely upon the firemen, and we regret to state that two of them . were injured, while one was sunstruck. The Chicago Zouaves gave an exhibition of their astonishing proficiency in military manmuvres in Madison square yesterday, in presence of a large number of spectators, among whom were many of- ficers of the crack corps of our city militia. In the evening they,partook of a dinner at the Lafarge House. Full accounts of these interesting affairs are given in this morning's paper. Twenty applications for licenses were received yesterday by the Excise Commissioners—a consi- derable falling off in the recent demand for them. The Commissioners announce their intention of re- questing the Police Commissioners to furnish them with the names of all the delinquent liquor dealers in the city who shall continue to sell without license after they close their books for the year, for the purpose of instituting proceedings against them.

Salmagundi is described as a mixture of chopped meat, pickled herrings, oil, onions, vinegar, &., and it is, therefore, to a dish of political salmagundi that we specially invite, | this morning, the attention of our readers. In the game general chapter, in four distinct let- ters, each from a different quarter and a differ- eot fort of politician, we present the views, opinions aad calculations of the managers of the republican party, the Breckinridge demo- cewtle party, the Beil and Everett Union party, and the Douglas democratic party. We prosent these different party views in the order of their sppareat strength, respectively before the country as Presidential parties, and we apprehend that no intelligent person will wite the correctness of our classification. veral parties concerned, however, will over, from this first instalment, that our ave open to all—Lincoln§ men, Bell men and Douglas men, 80 as they may be able to throw cay additional light upon the broad and general question of this Presidential con- test. Thus, to intelligent correspondents of the four parties in the field we throw open our colurans, in order that the independent Ameri- can people, through the medium of this journal, at least. may have the means and materials for # fuir judgment between these four contesting parties, The two most prominent features of the let- | ters which we publish to-day are—first, the high confidence of the republicans in what they call the inevitable election of Lincoln; and, second- ly, the self-evident necessity of a combination or co-operation among the three other parties to defeat him. Thus, while the friends of Breckinridge are coasting about for an arrange- ment whereby they may carry Pennsylvania, which they think will do to make up the elec- toral vote necessary to elect their man, the party supporting John Bell are ready to help to secure the lion’s share of the vote of New York to Douglas, so as to throw the election into Congress, where they think Bell, in the House, may turn up our next President. It will be remembered that in 1836, when Martin Van Buren was the regular nominee of the democratic party, the odds and ends of the opposition put up three candidates—Harrison, Webster, and White, of Tennessee—-and that Yan Buren beat them all. They were weakened by their divisions, ‘while Van Buren was strengthened by the unity of his party. So now the divisions of the odds and ends opposed to the republican party, although representing a large majority of the popular vote, are so much weakened by their three candidates— Breckinridge, Douglas and Bell-—that unless they can all agree to pull together they must all agree to a common defeat. If the Douglas faction and the Breckinridge faction could only, in this State, be brought into the same frame of mind as the Brooks Brothers, of the firm of Bell and Everett, heaven and earth would be turned inside out if necessa- ry to defeat Lincoln. But we fear that while Mr. Douglas goes forth on the holy mission of hunting down the Southern fire-eaters, Mr. Breckinridge has been put on his track to hunt down the Little Giant. Still, we think that as a half a loaf is better than no bread at all, the Douglas faction and the Breckinridge factioa may be persuaded in these hard times to com- bine, even upon the same Presidential electoral ticket, in consideration of the vast quantity of city corporation spoils, county offices, State Legislature spoils and Congressional vacancies to be looked after and provided for in our coming Northern elections. We leave our batch of lettefs on the subject to the digestion of our readers; but let not the opponents of our modern republicanism de- spair. We have an interval yet of three months and a half to the Presidential election, and within this time the defeat of Lincola may cease to be a difficult enterprise, and become a matter of manifest destiny. Turs Year's Crors—A Cnernret rect.The reports of the crops from all quar- ters of the country continue to be of the most cheerful character. It is evident that, unless some unforeseen and unusual disaster should occur between this and harvest time, we are about to have one of the most abundant years which has ever blessed this country. The cereal crops of the West promise to afford a very large yield, and the abundant return, it is hoped, will enable that region of country to extricate itself completely from the financial difficulties with which the panic of 1867 sur- rounded it, and from which it has not since been wholly relieved. In plain words, we hope this year of plenty will enable the West to pay its debts. The cotton crop of the South for the past year has been a very lucrative one, and the re- ports for this year indicate that it will not fall short of, if it does not exceed, the yield of 1859. We have received a first instalment of this year's crop, in the shape of an excellent specimen of new cotton from Texas, The prospects of a good crop in Great Britain are gloomy enough, for, owing to the re- peated violeat storms and ruins which have oc- curted during the spring and early summer, the probability is that there will mot be aa average feid this year, in which event nda tisker market foe oar abunds * ha! Prov + NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1860. Tee Returm of Mr. McLanc—What Our Government Should Do in Mexico. We learn by telegraph that Mr. McLane. our Minister to Mexico, has arrived at Mobile, di- riet from Vers Cruz; but we have no advices of | the state of affairs ia that republic, nor whether Mr. Mc!.ane intends to return to his post. Why be saculd return there we cannot con- ceive. Itisnow much more than a year aince he went to Mexico, during which time be bas labored sssiduously to accomplish something towards establishing a policy in the relations between the two countries that should be con- ducive to the highest interests of both. He has been untiring in his efforts. He has gone back and forth, between Washington and Vera Cruz, in season and out of season; he has con- sulted with the President and conferred with the Cabinet of Mexico; he has argued with United States Senators and Mexican leaders; and after all, when he has consummated a treaty calculated more than any other to give peace to Mexico and benefits to our commerce, and safety and progress to that portion of our country contiguous to the Mexican republic, a vile spirit of faction and party greed consigns it to the sleep of death in the Senatorial Com- mittce tombs, If any policy could have been wisely and skilfully devised to annul the influence of an American Minister abroad, and to overthrow the good he had achieved, it would have been that which has been pursued by the Senate of the United States towards the recent treaty with Mexico. Hope delayed has marked every step of that body in its consideration of that instrument, and finally, when party motives had prevailed over statesmansbip and public spirit, and killed the treaty, good care was taken to prevent divulgation of the ignoble reason which had triumphed over the national policy of the President, by a refasal to remove the seal of secresy from the debates. Why, then, should Mr. McLane be forced to return to Mexico? He has long since urged upon the consideration of the government the fact that the influence of our national name was diminished, if not destroyed, in Mexico, by the factious course of the Senate, and that even his personal influence there was endangered by the marked discourtesy that had been exhibited to- wards the treaty he had succeeded in nego- tiating. He has asked to be relieved from sueh an anomalous and useless position, over and over again, pointing out the evident fact that, as the moral force of his official representation had been destroyed, by acts to which he was not a party and over which he,had no control, the interests of the country and of our citizens in Mexico would be advanced by permitting him to withdraw and sending some new man to the scene of Iabor and of disappointment. In this Mr. McLane is in the right. New combinations are now necessary in Mexico, and though our Minister sees the fact clearly, feels that the Senate bas wilfully destroyed his power to make them. The great objects to be attained have been clearly pointed out by him. and they may yet be achieved by a proper course of action. A friemdly policy and a moral support to the liberal cause in that re- public, which shall contribute to restore peace to its borders; the removal of present bars to trade; the establishment of regular mail com- munications by steam between our ports and hers; the opening of routes of ingress and egress for our rich mineral regions in Arizona, across her territory to the ports on the Gulf of California, and a reciprocity treaty for the ex. change of products and mails along the ex- tended boundary line between us and that re- public. These are feasible things, and worth millions of dollars yearly to the industry and commerce of each country, and we commend to the government the common sense advice of Mr. McLane to send some fresh man to finish the work he has so handsomely begun. Arrractions or THE MeTRoPOLI3—INrLvx oF Srrancers.—The tide of summer travel has set towards the metropolis with extraordinary vigor; and while all of our own people who can arrange their business so as to make a tour to Europe, or fly away for a month or so to the springs, the ocean beach or mountain side, are getting away from town with the utmost alacrity ; their places in Broadway, in the shops, in the theatres, in the Central Park, and in fact in all places of public resort, are filled by persons to whom the gayeties of the great city are as fresh and delightful as they are tasteless and worn out to the tired habitus, who sighs for the green fields, fresh air, bugs, ses bathing, mosquitoes and sand flies. The rush of strangers to New York is greater than ever before, and all through August the ery will be that still they come. From the time when the Japanese arrived, a month ago, up to the present writing, we have had a con- tinuous series of excitements—the Great East- ern and the Chicago Zouaves being just at this mowent the chief attractions. As for the big ship, she is the magnet which draws the larger number of our country friends, who are never tired of examining her vast proportions. The strangers’ trade isa sort of monopoly for New York merchants, and makes the retail trade lively all the year round. So we are glad to meet and greet them all, from the North, South, East and West—all except the country editors, who come here fora spree, and very | often get into the station house. They add in- sult to injury by going home and giving a de- scription of their sprees as the habitual amuse: ment of New Yorkers. Decidedly the country editors must behave better when in the me- tropolis, or be suppressed altogether. We ad- vise the police to keep a sharp lookout for them. Tur Dewoenatte Frvaxcrens’ Movewsnt.~-It appears that in giving the names of the per- sons who attended the fusion mecting at the re- sidénce of Mr. Watts Sherman, the other day. for the purpose of uniting the divided sections of the democratic party in this city, we were not quite accurate as to the names of the indi- viduals present.

Paige, John Stryker.

The first meeting, however, resulted i: no- other, and let us know what they have done. The Heavings of the Political Revolu- tion. In another column we publish an article from the New York Tribune, which shows that the republican chiefs have not got over their panic, and that they still shake and look aghast, and vociferate in the broken language of alarm and terror. The rumbling sound of the earthquake under their feet, preliminary to the shock, chills their blood and makes ‘nem turn pale. Horace Greeley, of the 7 June, though he does not drink anything stronger than water, reels to and fro like a drunken man, and is at his wit’s end. The immediate cause of his strange be- havior is the apprehension of a combination be- tween Bell and Douglas, by which the Southern States should be given to one and the Northern States to the other, or a sufficient number of them to defeat the election of Lincoln. He still harps upon combination against the republican candidate, because it sticks in his stomach and he cannot digest it. He is sorely troubled. ‘We pity his sorrows, though we cannot say that it is in our power to alleviate them. The ball of political revolution being once set ia motion, we cannot determine where it is going to stop. Recently Greeley oxulted over the disruption and destro ction of the demo- cratic party. He may soon have to mourn over the defeat of the republicans. He evident- ly forebodes some sich disuster. He well knows that his party are in a minority, and that it isimpossible for thea to succeed, if all the conservative elements at the North unite against them. Any approach to such a combination throws him into hysterics. The union of Bell and Donglas would blast his hopes, and if Breck- inridge should become a member of the alliance Greeley would strike his colors at once, and give up the contest, like the coon which came down from the tall tree to save Captain Scott the trouble of fetching him down with his unerring rifle. In this country the reserve voters, numbering a million, always come out strong when their interests and their fears are appealed to by the signs of the times. On or- dinary occasions they do not vote at all. But in a revolutionary crisis like this their last vote will be polled. Greeley is aware of this, and hence his tears and groans. If the conservatives of all sectious have any practical sense they will take a lessoa from the enemy, and give him good reason for weep- ing and wailing and gnashing of tectle. What adds to his troubles is the apprehension that not only will the conservatives combixe, but that the republicans will be split by the entering wedge inserted by Wendell Philiips. Subjoined to the article from the Tribune will be found a letter of this uncompromising brave, in reply to the feeble comments and special pleading of Greeley, who attempted to sustain Lincoln under the damaging fire of a division of his own rebellious army. The Tribune has evidently made matters worse by bringing out another shot from the big gun of the Boston rebels, loaded to the mezzle with canister and grape. We perceive that the Tribune was silenced yesterday, and declined to accept the challenge of Phillips to insert his letter and reply to it. The Boston chief ex- poses the inconsistency and insincerity of “Honest Abe” with telling effect. He arrives at the conclusion, from the evidence which he produces, that the rail splitter is a “slave hound,” and that Horace Greeley, who supports him, is another. Lincoln, therefore, will never do for the “red’’ section of the republican army. Such letters as that of Phillips will damage him seriously, and the split in the party will widen every day, as the day of elec- tion approuches and the fight waxes hot. It is no wonder, therefore, thot Greeley should be alarmed, and that he should labor to show that neither Douglas nor Bell has any strength, and that, if either should become President, he would not be able to carry on the government, owing to the want of support in Congress, and that “such an administration would test the strength of any free government oa earth.” The Lon. Massa Greeley appears to be greatly alarmed about our political structure being broken down, in the event of a combination and division of parties defeating his man, and placing some other candidate in the Presiden- tial chair. The real cause of his alarm, how- ever, is not that the government will be over- thrown, but that republicanism will be laid low by the next shock of the revolutionary earthquake. The popular will which will bring any candidate to the head of the government will know how to sustain him against any dan- ger that may arise, either at the North or at the South, and the fire-eaters and the nigger wor- shippers will find themselves both extinguished together by the common sense and the patriot- iam of the people. A Sprexpip Yacut Race i Prospect. -We are glad to announce that there is a seusation ahead for all people who enjoy nautical sports (and who does not?) in the forthcoming race between the sloops Julia and Rebecss, which has been arranged to take place oa the second day of August. The course is froin Sandy Hook twenty miles outside to windward the yachts to carry jib ond mainsail only, hoas: ing their topmasts. The match is a private one, made between the owners of the yachts and the prize is apiece of plate. At this sea- son there is, almost invariably, a fresh southerly breeze, and if the rule should hold on the day of the race, there will be plenty of sport, and 1 wet jacket or two for some of the yachts- men. The race will be one of the finest nautical con- tests that lms ever taken place here. The yachts are both noted for speed; they are of nearly the same tonnage, and well matched in every way. The Julia stands the acknowledged quees of the yacht squadron. She has been in the water six or seven years, and has never yet been beaten in any race. Modelled by the late George Steer, she is, as a matter of course, @ model of symmetry and beanty. Among yachts she holds the position of the belle of the season at Saratoga or Newport, and the compliments which she receives are infinite- ly more sincere than those whispered into the velvet ear of Araminta as she sips hygeian draughts at Congress Spring, or swims along The Rebec- of the J 39 Wa the corridors of the Ocean House. ch appears as the antago a. hws bad ber lis on.

The turf and the ring have latterly fallen into the hands of gamblers and adventurers, but yachting is entirely free from all such influences, and therefore the sport is one to which not the smallest objection can be raised. On the contrary, there is everything to The Japanese Gift to the Police—A Word with the proper spirit.

In New York own country, make the work of the police here harder than it is anywhere else in the world, and the men are obliged to use more severity | than a Philade}phia Quaker would approve of. The mob, however, stands in awe of the police, and the latter have thereby a greater power than the club or the revolver could give them. Therefore, while the Japanese were guarded by the New York police, they were as safe from intrusion and annoyance as if they had been in their own Jeddo palaces. The city guests “suf- fered some” from the Aldermen, who got up a ball nominally for the Embassy, but >. — the scum of the city’s population. We make a police, however, much more casily Pony we can reform the Aldermen.

We have made these strictures upon the Phi- ladelphia police in all seriousness, They are especially needer at this time, in view of the approaching visit of the Tiince of Wales, who will pass throvz! Philadelphia on his way tu Washington. The Japanese knew but lithe what was going on about them: but the U'rince and the noblemen accompanying him will thoronghly understand the conduct of the Phi- ladelphia mob, which may be, if unrestrained by the police, as insulting to the heir apparent of Victoria as to the Ambassadors of the Tycoon, Under all these circumstances some powerfil to give the Prince of Wales a royal coception. As the programme of his tour is not aa yet finally fixed, every small village ia Canada is whitewashing its houses and burnishing up ite tin sconces, in the hope that his Royal Highness mey pass that way. From the arrangements described by our correspondents, it would seem that measures have been taken to protect the Prince’s privacy from invasion by the press. Asin England the reports of royal movements are only allowed to transpire through autho- rized channels, we presume that the court newsman will form one of the promineat mom- bers of his suit. Thus we ebail bave official and duly authenticated accounts of how the Prince fulfilled daily the diferent important functions of life. Tae Warzrma Praces—Until within the last few days there has beez a lamentable dearth of company at the fashionable watering places. Inno former year, not even after the last panic, have there been so few visiters. The landlords have been in despair at their pros- pects, for what they do they have to do in the course of a few weeks; and-they had arrived at their harvest time in the harrowing position of Sister Anne, without seeing anybody coming. Several causes have contributed to this state of things. In the first place, New York has been the great centre of attraction for pleasare seekers up to the present time. The visit of the Japanese, the arrival of the tenth wonder of the world—the Great Eastera—the triumphal entry of the distinguished legion which ac- quired African tactics in Chicago, and the ad- vent of the Benicia Boy, have all hed their share in concentrating upon our city the tide of summer travel, while they have also had the effect of keeping our own population at home. Add to these inducements the fact that until within the last day or two the temperature ia town has been delightfully pleasant; that we have had our country cousins to chaperone and entertain, and that we could not possibly miss the Aldermen's Japanese court ball, the great Hicks vautical drama, and the Heenap ovation, and it will be readily understood why the watering places have missed their accua- tomed guests up to this late period. There are other influences which have no doubt equally operated to diminish the number of visiters to our fashionable summer resorts. The travel to Furope this season is unprece- dentedly large, each steamer taking out as many passengere of the tourist class as it can possibly accommodate. The visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada of course retains at home all those who usually come down from-the Pro- vinces to Saratoga, Newport, Sharon ahd auch places. The Canadians are so brimfull of loyalty at the pyesent moment, and feel so big at the honor which their sovereign has conferred upoa them, that they have no time for either plea- eure or business. Then, again, the tide of fashionable inclination bas altered some- what in regard to what are called the first class watering places. People who cccupy comfortable houses ia town are beginning to discover that there is no plea- sure in being shut up in huge country caravaa- saries, where people eat badly, sleep worse, and divide their couches with a multitude of ua- pleasant companions, to say nothing of the shameless way in which they are fleeced for their miserable accommodations. Instead of going to such places, persons of means are now very generally adopting the European plan of hiring cottages in pleasant country spots, where they can enjoy rural advantages or sea bathing without being compelled to sacrifice for thém all the domestic comforts to which they have been accustomed. At Newport, which is favor- ably situated for such a mode of living, the number of new villas and cottages which have been built to gratify this taste since last season have absorbed a large amount of capital, and cannot fail to do serious injury to the hotels. ‘There is but one way in which landlords at those places can resuscitate the popularity of their establishments, and that is by paying greater attention to the comfort of their guests and lowering their charges. If they do not give heed to this counsel they may rest assured that they will sooa find their houses deserted. The facilities for summer travel to Europe and (he British Provinces are now 60 great that unless the inducements of greater economy and comfort are held out to tourists at the watering places, they will prefer taking either of the former trips. Let hotel keepers then take warning in time, unless they waat to find their apprehensions of the present season converted into realities. We understand that within the last few days there has been a marked increase in the ar- rivals at all our fashionable summer resorts. Still it is not sufficiently large to justify the expectation that the season will be an average one., Too much time has been already lost, and too many counteracting influences are at work, to enable the hotel keepers to count upon their usual profits. —_—————__—. Position ov THe Democavric Papens oN Te Presipentiat Tickess.—We have published oa two or three occasions a table of the differeat democratic papers throughout the country which announced themselves as supporters of the Douglas ticket and the Breckinridge ticket respectively, and we find that some of the country papers are making complaints of our inaccuracy as regards themeelves. But while they are grumbling they forget what we stated when we first published the list, namely, that we made our table then only as far as we knew the sentiments of the democratic press; and on two or three occasions since we have repub- lished coasiderably enlarged lists, accordingty as the papers pronounced for owe candidate or the other. For instance, our first table coa- tained only one hundred and eighty-six papers, of which one hundred and one were for Doug- jas and eighty-five for Breckinridge.
