The Canada, which left Liverpool on the 14th gad Queenstown on the 15th inst., arrived at Huli- fax yesterday. The main points of her news, ob- tained off Cape Race, were published in yesterday's paper. The latest despatches, given in another column, state that a new Ministry had been furmed in Sicily, and that reports had been received from Palermo of sanguinsry combats near Mes-ina be- tween the royalists aad Sicilian forces. Garibaldi fhad received additional pecuniary aid and fifty- seven pieces of cannon. Accounts from Naples state that an outbreak had occurred among the troops in the citadel, in which twelve were wounded. Three political Conventions assembled in Tren- ton yesterday, and put forward three electoral tickets. The Convention that assembled under the cali of the State Executive Committee, after a har- monious session nominated an electoral ticket com- posed of two Breckinridge and Lane men, two friends of Dougias, and three followers of Bell and Everett. The Bell and Everett Convention nominated a full electoral ticket, and gave full power to the Executive Committee to make such changes in the ticket aa might be rendered necessary, which is in substance unioa with the Breckinridge men. The straight out Douglas men held a separate Convention, and with great unanimity and enthusi- aam cominated a straight out Douglas electoral ticket, aad opposed all fusion with the other con- ventions. The proceedings of the three Conventions will be found elsewhere. The Gridiron Railroad case, at the suit of the trustees of the Sailors’ Snug Harbor against the Mayor, &c., was set down for hearing yester- day in the Supreme Court special term, requiring the defendants to show cause why they should not be enjoined from constructing the Seventh Avenue Railroad, known as the ‘‘ Broadway Parallel Road.” The contest, however, promises to be a severe one, and too warm for the present weather, and as there is a formiiable phalanx of the legal pro- feasion engaged, who must have their summer vacation, the case was, after a little agreeable conversational concession all round, postponed until the first Monday in September next. The Commissioners of Washington Heights held astated mecting yesterday at their office at Fort Washington, and adopted a preamble and resolu- tions unanimously repudiating the rectangular mode of laying out streets or roads. The Emigration Commissioners held their weekly meeting yesterday afternoon. The Committee on Castle Garden reported that Captain Crabtree, the Vice President of the Board, has offered his ser- vices as Superintendent of Castle Garden, in place of Mr. Kennedy, resigned. The Captain offers to discharge the duties without any compensation. ‘The report recommended that the offer be accept- ed, that the salary of the Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Camnera, be increased from $1,750 to $2,000, and also that of another employé in the same depart- meat from $600 to $700. Theseport was adopted, and thereby the expenses of Castle Garden estab- lishment were diminished in the amount of $2,000 annually. The physician of the hospital on Ward's Island reported that twenty-two cases of shipfever have been sent to that institution from the ship Cynosare. The communication was referred to the President with power. The number of emigrants arrived at this port during the present year to the ‘25th inst. amounts to 69,217—an increase of 13,488 as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The balance of the commutation fund on hand amoants to $15,381. ‘The Board of Education disposed temporarily of the Fourth ward dismissal question last evening, by adopting the report of the special committee appointed to investigate the subject, censuring the local board of the Fourth ward for their hasty and wholesale action, and by referring a resolution aathorizing the payment of the newly appointed teachers to the Finance Committee. The charge of perjury ageinst Mr. William D. Haight, one of the proposed bails for Da Costa, who swore to a fictitious amount of property, was contioued yesterday before Commissioner Morill, and still farther adjourned. The Savannah Republican Blues, who have been on a visit to this city since Friday last, departed for home yesterday in the steamship Florida. Prior to their departure , they were entertained to a col- lation by the City Guard, their hosts, when speeches were made and appropriate sentiments expressed. ‘The troops then marched down Broadway, and at- tra ed the attention of a large crowd of spectators. *mbarked at five o'clock, and in a quarter of ofver the steamer got under weigh, amid *, fi f cannon, the strains of Dodworth’s Dand ood other demonstrations of an enthusiastic ‘Te Police Commissioners at their meeting yes- te: vay transferred several policemen, and appoint ed officer Minor, of the Tenth precinct, sergeant, and officer Brower roundsman.

In this they were mistaken i ch aa the large supply produced an anpre ¢ ed’y dull market, and prices, ‘hough very irregular, may be written fully one cent a pound lower, sales ranging at six to nine cents. Mitch cows were plenty and dull. Calves were ateady. Sheep and lambs were plenty, but firm, Swine were steady at 6c. a 6fc. There were on sale 4,263 head beef cattle, 197 cows, 931 veals, 12,699 sheep and lambe, and 3,002 swine. The cotton market exhibited more tone yesterday, while the sales reached about 1,500 bales, closing on the basis of quotations given in another column. The flour market was again heavy and lower, eapeciaily for com. moa and medium grades of State and Western. Southern also partook of the general heaviness, and was irregular, while gales were fair, including some lots for export. Cholee family extra gradea were un changed, Wheat was again lower, while sales at the concession were fair, Corn was rather more buoyant, with a fair amount of sales. Pork was in steady request, with sales of new mess at $19 25 and new prime at $1425. Sugars were steady, with sales of TO4 bhds. ‘and 1,800 boxes, at rates given in another column. Coffee was firm, with sales of 900 bags Ceylon at 16c., 200 do. Maracaibo at lic. a 16\{c., and 100 do. Jamaica at p. t. Freights were higher for Liverpool, and room scarce. ‘Wheat was engaged, in bulk and bags, at 9c. a9\c., and fome flour was reported at 2s. dd. a 2s. Gd. To London, wheat in ship’s bags was cagaged at 934. Cottom and the Constitution—The Rela- tioms of Politics, Industry and Trade. ‘The programme of the present political cam- paign is being rapidly narrowed down to the single issue between the parties, and the poli- ticians perceive more clearly every day the futility of endeavoring to range the people upon abstract questions of distant and doubt- ful results, when the very existence of cotton and the constitution is at stake. Herein lies the mistake of the political mana- gers and wirepullers. They believed that the masses could be bound to party allegiance and party manceuvres, the sole object of which is to obtain or secure possession of the spoils by sen- timental appeals and nice abstract distinctions. They forget the intimate relation that exists be- tween the material interests of the country and the stability of its principles of government— the electric chain that binds the principles and the pockets of voters. Nowhere has a government or a party ever beea able to obtain a permanent establishment when the policy which animated it has been in direct antagonism with the interests of production and trade. Before these all ideas and theories must recede, for political, moral and religious theories depend alike upon the material welfare of the people for their observance. The hungry man will attend to the needs of the body before those of the soul, and he who is preased by poverty will provide for himself in preference to alleviating his neighbor. It is upon these immutable principles that the intimate relations between cotton and the con- stitution stand. During the present year the Southern States have produced and exported, in round numbers, four and a half millions bales of cotton, valued at two hundred and twenty-five millions of dollars while yet in its crude state, and before the merchant, the ma- riner, or the manufacturer had put a hand to it to double, triple and quadruple its value to men. From this fountain flows an immense stream of employment and profit. which creates and quickens innumerable branches of in- dustry in all parts of the country. The shipowners and the manufacturers of New England, the merchants and mechanics of New York, and the manufacturers and miners of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, all draw no small portion of their daily wages and profits from the stream that rises in the cotton fields of the South. If the constitution should be interpreted and administered by zealots or fanatics in a sense adverse to cotton, it would be the constitution, and not the cotton, that would be in danger. In this cotton is only symbolical of a thousand other interests, and all of these would naturally rouse themselves to the effort of self-preservation. This is the operation that is now going oa ia the commercial, manufacturing and minine States. The political contest is being strippea of all the abstractions, humbugs and fallacies that professional politicians have so long bam- pered party organizations with. and we are coming down to the great substratum of prin- ciple that underlies all parties. All the hungry spoilsmen that switched off from the true line of constitutional interpretation with Douglas and the anti-Lecompton men «re pouring: into the black republican camp to assist in the re- volutionary and destructive abolition assault upon the constitution, while, on the other hand, the thousands of merchants, manufactu- ters, miners and mechanics, freed from the dead issues of whiggery, Know Nothingism and abo- lition, are coming up to the support of Breck- inridge and the interpretation of the constitu- tion in a manner just and protective to the eqnal interests of all, These are the only live principles that exist in the present contest, and before November every man will find himself impelled by the increasing impulse of the day to declare for one or other of the only two representative men--Breckinridge or Lincola. The same working is visible in all cther parts of the country, though not yet with the same intensity as where the quick pulses of com- merece and industry run. In every State in the Union, government as well as people have felt themselves compelled to pause and see where we are going to. This has broken up all the old parties, for in them much was found to con- demn. The democratic party organizations broke down under the weight of their corrup- tion and rascality; the Know Nothing leaders have lost their power to trade away (lel fol- lowers, and the black republicans have been compelled to lower their tone and recede from their ultra positions by the very fear of deser- tion by their followers. Seward’s position asa party leader was strong and marked in his brutal and bloody speech in 1858; in 1859 he fell back to « much more conservative position; and where he will stand in 1860 is not yet known. It was cotton and the constitution that forced him and his party to a partial re- treat, and which is to-day operating everywhere among the people to the overthrow of the black designs of the abolitionist and their republican allies and abettors. Mn. Dovatas ty nm Sovtu.—It is very evident that from day to day the little party in the South devoted to the interests of Mr. Douglas is diminishing, while that of Breckinridge is gain- ing strength from all sides. We dare say that all doubts of the full vote of the South for Breckinridge will soon be removed. We should not be surprised, indeed, if the popular senti- ment of the South were to assume in a month or so a shape so decisive in defence of South- ern institutions as to render an advocate of Donglas in that section as unpopular asa fol lower of Liacoln. The issue has already as- sumed, in several instances in the South, come thing hia comp!extoa NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1860. ———————_———_—— Se sisseseresneteeseeensnneeseseneneesoe shina aessstennen fiiiotibenseoensenth se eS Mors Govrenwret Devarcarions—Tar Beans or Drranevents oy Facur.—We perceive that another defalcation in one of the departments of the general government has come to light at Washington, this time to the amount of $30,000. The paymaster of the marine force, it appears, bas become a defaulter in that sum, and has been dismissed the service. The stable door has been carefully locked and bolted after the horse is stolen. We stated several months ago, upon credible information, that numerous defaications existed in many of the government departments, where- upon the Constitution at Washington flew into a violent passion, denied the allegation, and ac- cused us of malice and all the crimes in the cal- endar for insinuating such a thing of the respec- table persons at the heads of the public depart. ments, But now it seems the defalcations are coming out one by one. First, there was the New York Post Office deficit of $155,000; then here was a default in the Post Office at New Orleans of some $50,000, to which we briefly alluded before; and now in the Marine Depart- ment at Washington, under the very eyes of the government, we hear of a defalcation to the amount of $30,000. We will venture to assert that, if all thé-shortcomings of our public de partments were fully investigated, defalcations would be found, not only in the sum of half a million, but of many millions of dollars. ‘The reason for this malfeasance is clearly to be found in the incompetency of the heads of the departments at Washington. They do not seem to know what is going on among their subordinates, or how the affairs of their depart- ments are managed, until after the mischief is done. The manner in which the defalcation in the New York Post Office was effected proves that the Postmaster General knows nothing at all about keeping accounts. The fact is that the heads of the departments, instead of attend- ing to their business, are looking after the gene- ral politica of the country and the election for the Presidency. When any of these defalcations are discover- ed the opposition invariably charge the blame upon the President, who is wholly innocent in the matter, and who is perhaps, after all, the only honest man in the government. Take, for ex- ample, the infumy manifested by the Covode Committee, where the very mem who gave evi- dence which was designed te implicate the President in all kinds of trumped up charges of fraud and corruption only testified to their own villany. Wendell and Forney and the rest of them were mixed up in a lot of corrupt jobs in which they expected the President to assist ; but finding that he stood firm, and that they could not use him, they turned round and endeavored to fasten upon him complicity with their own base schemes. How completely they failed in doing #0, and how thoroughly they exposed their own rascality and meanness, everybody knows. The truth is that a radical revolution is need- edinevery administrative department of the federal government, as may be clearly seen by the repeated dgfalcations and mismanagement which are being brought to light every day. We want competent business men at the head of the governmental bureaus, not mere politicians and President makers; and until such men are placed there we will have no end of defalca- tions and frauds. Hiouty Important From Prysayivayta— Dovoras Azanpoyep sr Forney, Hicxway & Co.—The anti-Lecompton democracy of Penn- sylvania, led by Forney. Hickman & Co., are showing themselves in their true colors, as will be seen by the highly important speech in another column, delivered by John Hickman in the Concert Hall, Philadelphia, on Tuesday evening, the 24th inst, in which he formally announces the abandonment of Douglas, and comes out boldly for Lincoln. Mr. Hickman declares Douglas far inferior to Breckinridge; he gives a scathing record of the Illinois Senator's career, and pronounces that the only safety for the country lies in sup- porting Lincoln. This is all for the better. It will narrow the contest to the only two issues involved in it, and will strip it of all the ambiguity and hum- bug with which it has been invested. We always predicted that the anti-Lecompton democracy would come to this. We knew that Forney, having received his office as Clerk of the House from the republicans, should give them his support, furtively, if not openly; but Hickman is an honest, outspoken man, and he comes out in this speech frankly and above board for anti-slavery and the black republican candidate. By thus abandoning Douglas, and going bodily into the republican camp, the anti- Lecompton democrats have put the stamp upon the true issues of the Presidential battle. With them it is evident that Douglas is to be no longer recognized as a representative of either issue. Opposition to Breckinridge and the de- mocratic party, and support to Lincoln and the black republicans, is the battle cry they have adopted. Douglas must follow them, or be counted out—dropped, abandoned by his quon- dam friends. Ocrame Jomt Stock Arnasoxwents.—A joint stock electoral ticket between the Bell party and the Douglas party of Georgia has been agreed upon; but it does not appear to create much enthusiasm in the camp of either of the high contracting parties. Indeed, when we consider that the Bell-Everett party is made up from the remains of the late American or Know Nothing party, and that the Douglas party looks with confidence to a very large share of “the Irish vote,” we must conclude that all attempts (o mix these opposing elementa will be very apt to fail. If Mr. Douglas has to be ran upon crutches in Georgia it would be best to take him off the track, and if Mr. Bell is so weak in Georgia as to need the aidof Douglas, it would be a wise thing on the part of Mr. Bell to with- draw. The fight is between Lincoln and Breck inridge. and all outside arrangements like this between the Bell party and the Douglas party in Georgia will come to nothing. Imrontant, 1¢ Tavx.—It was reported at a Houston meeting in this city the other evening that Mr. Everett, displeased with the doings of the Union party managers of this State, had half made up his mind to withdraw in disgust from this unprofitable campaign. We hope that there was good ground for this report, and that the next authentic news from Mr. Everett will be that be has withdrawn. Ile is a good Union man, but in his present po n he is in the Way, and can not do one-half the good for the Unioa which he might do if his hands were na- tied, so that he could resume his patriotic con- telbutions to the New York Lay Tae Bazcomrmot Movemest oy New Yors— A Stare Coxvention Catixp.—We publish to- day from the Breckinridge State Committee of New York, recently appointed, a call for a State Convention at Syracuse on Tuesday, the 7th of August, of the supporters of Breckinridge and Lane, to nominate an electoral ticket and & State ticket for our November elections. ‘This is going to work in the right way; for this Breckinridge Committee, it will be ob- served, ignoring all the doings and arrange- meats of the Albany Regency based upon the old order of things, is proceeding to business with anew set of books adapted to the new order of things. And what is this new order of things: It is a contest between the North and the South for the Presidency, aggressive on the ons side, defensive on the other—a con- test in which Abraham Lincoln is the champion of the Northern party, devoted to the suppres- sion of slavery, while John C. Breckinridge is the defensive champion of the South and its peculiar institution of slavery. This is the sum and substance of this new order of things; for all the other odds and ends are “but leather squatter sovereignty ticket of Douglas and Johnson, the abolition ticket of Gerrit Smith, and the independent San Jacinto Texas ticket of General Sam Houston. But all these tickets and parties are in the way, and serve only to confuse and weaken the conservative forces op- posed to this thing of a perpetual sectional war against the Southern States and their domestic affairs. Practically, if there were only one party in the South, or if there were half a dozen parties and half a dozen tickets, the result would be the same—the unanimous vote of the South- ern States against Lincoln. In the North, how- ever, the conservative elements opposed to Lin- coln must co-operate with the South, or Lincoln will be surely elected. What avails it if we have a popular majority in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana opposed to the republican party, unless we can bring the forces together which make up this majority. They can be brought together by a very simple plan of operations. Let Dou- glas and Johnson withdraw, and let Bell and Everett withdraw, and we shall soon realize a concentration of the conservative forces of the North upon Breckinridge that will startle the followers of Lincoln. We apprehend that by this time the most enthusiastic and hopeful dis- ciple of Mr. Douglas is convinced that, come what may, there is not a ghost of a chance for him before the people or before Congress, and that his supporters, by keeping him on the course, are only playing the game of Van Buren of 1848. The same cannot be said of the il-Everett party; but if this ticket were also out of the way the line between the conserva- tive and the destructive forces of this section would be so clearly drawn that there would be no difficulty in bringing out all our substantial interests and classes in full and overwhelming strength against this slavery-agitating republi- can party. In a word, the best thing that Mr.‘Douglas and Mr. Johnson can do, and the best thing that Mr. Bell and Mr. Everett can do, in this crisis, for themselves, their friends and the country, is to withdraw from this Presidential canvass, so as to remove all obstructions to a fair fight be- tween Lincoln and Breckinridge, the only two candidates for President who will be heard of n the electoral vote of the Union.

Amari, the histe- rian, and Errante, are among the number. of the winds on tho pressure of the atmosphere on the Pacific and Gulf sides of the ridge. This land expedition will be attended with diftculty and danger; not that the country presents any important engineering obstacles to a railroad being constructed, but because, from the shores of the Lagoon to the dividing ridge, it is intersected by mountain streams, covered with the densest tropical forests and high jungie, that is almost impenetrable—a wilderness inhabited only by wild beasts. A number of Indians will be hired to cut & path through it, and to carry the packs of the party. Mule transportation is out of the question. Once, how- ever, that the dividing ridge is attained, the surveyors en- ter a different climate, and traverse beautiful scenery. The sun’s light, which, in the intervals of the showers on the Atlantic slope, is nearly hidden by the forests, is seen once more, On either side of the depression by which it is proposed to cross the ridge are tabie lands of great beauty, andon emerging from it open plains are seen stretching down to the Pacific, scantily ornameated with groves of trees and occupied by several settlements, the largest of whichare David and Dolega. On arriving at the sea coast, after a short stay employed tn observations, &c., the surveying party will join a Uni- ted States vessel and return to the States, via Panama, “touching at the Chiriqui Lagoon. ‘Tue third branch of the expedition is the geological survey of the islands in the Chiriqui Lagoon, for the pur- pose of ascertaining the kind of coa! they afford, its pro- Perties, the quantities it occurs in, and the ease with ‘which the mines can be worked. This survey is under Dr. Evans, who will procure Indian labor on the spot to work the mines; he will also be aasisted by sailors from the vessel. A frame bouse will be carried down by Capt.
