By the arrival of the Canadian in the river St. Lawrence we have advices from Europe to the 27th ult., one day later than the accounts brought by the Australasian. The news is unimportant. A Convention, providing for intervention in Syria, had been signed in Paris by the represen- tatives of the great Powers. Atthe same time the Porte had given notice of the conclusion of peace between the contending parties in Syria. There is nothing new from Sicily. The revolu- tionary element in Naples continued active. The American produce market had undergone no change of importance. We have advices from Buenos Ayres to the Mth of June. The compact between Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Confederation had been ratified, and there was every prospect of the re-establishment of peace. The news of the ratification of the com- pact bad caused extraordinary activity in business, and a large increase of trade with the United States was predicted. Our correspondent at Bridgetown, Barbadoes, writing onthe 20th ult., says:—For two or three days previous to the 17th inst. copions showers of rain fell, but the long continued drought before, and the very hot weather since the 1th, without a drop of rain, have fairly burnt up everything in the ground, and totally disappointed the prospects of the planters. American produce is in good de- mand, and prices of flour, corn meal, fish, beef, bacon and bread, have advonced 10 per cent within the last two days. No business doing in shipping, and gloom is depicted in every countenance. His Excellency Governor Hincks bas gone on a visit to Bt. Lucia, in the steamer Trent. Hon. G. Thomas, M. D., has been sworn in to administer the government during the Governor's absence. The State Convention of the New York Breckin- ridge democracy, for the nomination of candidates for State officers and Presidential electors, met at Syracuse yesterday. Every Assembly district in the State was represented, and the proceedings, as will be seen by our reports, were harmonious and enthusiastic. Henry 8. Randall, of Cortland county, was chosen President of the Convention, together with the usual number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. The nominations of Breckinridge and Lane were heartily endorsed, as was also the administration of James Buchanan. The nomina- tions will doubtless be made to-day. The Tammany or Douglas branch of the New York democracy held their primary elections last evening in the respective wards, to choose one delegate and one alternate from each Assembly dis- trict to the Democratic Republican State Conven- tion, which will be held at Syracuse on the 15th inst. The business was finished up according to programme, and the election passed off in a quiet and orderly manner generally, quite unusual with the hard fisted democracy. The delegates chosen last evening will assemble next Saturday at Tam- many Hall for the purpose of holding a caucus pre- vious to the State Convention. The Breckinridge and Lane democracy of Ver- mont held a State Convention at White River June- tion yesterday, and nominated Robert Harvey, of Caledonia county, for Governor; Giles Harrington, of Ward Isle, for Lieutenant Governor, and Samuel Wells, of Washington, for Treasurer. Presidential electors were also nominated. The Convention was largely attended, and the proceedings were marked by unusual enthasiasm. The sojourners at Long Branch were plunged into an intense excitement yesterday morning, upon finding marks which indicated that a foul murder had been committed in their midst during the night. No clue of the murderer or his victim had been found up to oar latest advices last night. A report of the affair will be found elsewhere. ‘The Board of Councilmen were in seasion last eveving, when a communication was submitted by the Comptroller, giving a statement of the condi- tion of the finances of the city government. The paper will be found in our report of the proceed- ings, It was supposed that a desperategeffort would be made to secure the passage of the out- rageous appropriation for entertaining the Japan- ose, but the paper was not called up, those mem- bers who voted for the swindle having held a can cus in the afternoon, when they resolved, in view of the state of the public mind, speaking through the leading journals with reference to this out- tageous attempt at larceny, to postpone the consi- deration of the question till some future time. Mr, Lent, however, rose to a question of privilege, and in the course of his remarks stated that he not record his vote in favor of the appropri- n until a bill of items was furnished, and the community were satisfied. Mr. Lent, it will be re- membered, voted for the swindle last Wednesday, We learn that the offerings in this diocess of the Catholic charch for the Pope will amount to over fifty thousand dollars. It will be seen by a letter from Archbishop Hogbes, published fn another column, that the work on the new Catholic cathedral is saspended for the present. The new Tompkins Market, in front of the Cooper Institute, which has been in course of con- struction for the past two years, was opened for business yesterday. The cricket match between the eleven best players in Canada and the same number in the United States, which was begun at Hoboken on Monday, terminated yesterday, the United States eleven winning the match. The members of company F, Ninth regiment, NEW YORK HBRALD> WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1980. held s meeting last evening, and resolved to imme- | diately organize as a Zouave corps. It is their in- tention to assume the original Zouave uniform. At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors yea- terday the report in favor of the plans for a Howe of Detention, already submitted, waa adopted. The whole number of persons committed to the House of Detention during the month of July was fity-four, and the aggregate term of the detention of these witnesses smounted to 689 days. The coiton market yesterday was comparatively quiet, but steady, with sales of about 600 bales, on the vasis of quotations given in another column. The receipts at the ports since the 1st of September last have reached 4,452,000 bales, against 2,656,000 ia 1859, an1 3,062,000 in 1858. The experts for the sams perio! have reached 3,724.00 bales, agains: 2,949,000 im 1859, and 2,543,000 im 16{8, The stock on hand amounted to 145,000 bales, ‘Azulust 240,000 in 1859, and 115,000 in 1868. The cotton year ends on the Ist of September annually, and hence only about three weeks remain of the great cotton year of 1869-00. Making allowances for the receipis at the porta in the next three weeks, and fcr the shipments from Memphis an 4 other ports by railroads for Northern consumption, aud it is supposed that the whole crop will show an amount on the Ist proximo equal to between 4,600,000 and 4,700,000 baler, including also the stock on hand. The last three crops have ben tho largest ever grown ip the United States, They largely contributed to relieve the country from the panic of 1851. They con. tributed to sustain the importing and jobbing trade of New York when that of the West failed for two consecutive years, and they contributed to sustain the shipping inte- rest and carrying trade, when they were bard run to fimd employment elsewhere; and any material decrease ia the present crop will be widely felt. The four market was more active aud firmer, with ageod demand for ex- port, aud clored better for some descriptions, while sales were quite large. Corn was firm and active. Pork was moderately dealt in; the sales embraced uew meas at $19 10 a $19 1214, and new prime at $14. Sugars were steady with sales of 850 hhds. and 130 boxes, aud 75 hhds. me- lado, at rates given in another piace. Coffee was firm; a sale of 700 bags Laguyara was made at 15°. alc. Vessels were scarce, and rates were firmer. Wheat in bulk and bags was engaged for Liver pool at 103, alO'jd., with flour at 2s, 91., and 3s was afterwards asked. To London flour wae taken at 3s 6d, A vessel for Cork anda market was takea up to load with wheat in ship's bags at 12d. The Late Southern Elections, and Their Warning to Oar Democratic Politi- cians We have heard enough from the late elections in North Carolina, Kentucky and Missouri to warrant the opinion that in the Presidential election of November the democracy will lose all the border slave States from Missouri to Maryland. Tennessee, also, may be added to the number swingisg round to Bell and Everett, with the remarkable changes which sre going on in the great political tidal currents of 1860, in the Southern division of the Union. While there was reason to believe that the Breckinridge democratic tic’et would command the solid electoral vote of the Southern States, there was a reason for urging upon the popular conservative elements of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, New York and other commercial and manufacturing States of the North, the policy of concentrating upon Breckinridge and Lane, with the view of defeating the republican tick- et in a fair and square contest before the peo- ple. Now the impossibility of any combina- tions whereby Breckinridge can be elected by the electoral colleges reduces him and every other Presidential candidate opposed to Lincoln to a very grave responsibility to the country. Looking at the popular reaction in North Carolina, at the decisive defeat of the Breckin- ridge party in Kentucky, at the decisive reac- tion in the St. Louis district of Missouri, in favor of Blair, the republican candidate for Congress, and at the Douglas defection among the Virgi- nia and Tennessee democracy, there is every probability that one-half the electoral vote of the South will be'turned over to Bell and Eve- rett. As the other half will be for Breckin- ridge, and as nobody supposes that Mr. Douglas can command xty, or even thirty, or twenty, electoral votes in the North, we see that if the election shall be thrown into Congress the Douglas ticket will be left out. As the battle stands, these Southern elections having settled it that the Douglas ticket will be the fourth, and not the third on the list, the chances are that the Douglas party of the North may prefer to let Lincoln's election go by de- fault, rather than play any longer into the hands of Breckinridge or Bell. So long as there was a proepect of the whole electoral vote of the South going to Breckinridge, the hope of a majority of the Northern balance of power en- couraged the Douglas men to combinations in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, &c., with Bell and Breckinridge, whereby Mr. Doug- las might possibly secure seventeen out of the thirty-two Northern electoral votes necessary to throw the election into the House. But now, with the apparent certainty of from fifty to sixty Southern electoral votes for Bell, Mr. Douglas is practically thrown out of the canvass; for should he, as his share of a set of fusion electoral tickets, secure twenty electoral votes in New York, four in New Jersey, and ten, or even fifteen, in Pennsylvania, his ticket would still be excluded, though the election would be carried into Congress. It is thus apparent to the naked eye that, as these Southern elections have shown that Mr. Bell, and not Mr. Douglas, will be the third highest candidate, should the election go to the House, the chances of Lia- coln’s election are increased. We say in- creased, because the Douglas party, as between Lincoln, Breckinridge and Bell, stand pretty much as the old lady stood pending the fight between her busband and the bear. She did not care which was whipped. ‘What, then, is needed to give this Northern outside Douglas vote a practical direction! The withdrawal of all the tickets opposed to Lincoln, and the nomination, by and with the advice and consent of all the parties and can- didates concerned, of a common compromise ticket, upon which they can all unite. In this way Lincoln may still be defeated; but, as time is precious, this thing, to be of any value, must be done at once. As we have sald, it can be done at once through a joint confer- ence and agreement between Breckinridge and Lane, Bell and Everett, and Douglas and John- son, and General Honston. In default of some such prompt. combined and comprehensive action among his opponents, Lincoln's election is inevitable. And what will follow his election? The “irrepressible con- flict” against slavery, with the headquarters of the anti-slavery alliance established in the White House and in the Capitol at Washington. Mr. Lincoln believes slavery to be an evil, a crime and a curse—that it ought to be and must be extirpated. He has this “one idea’ of Seward fixed in bis mind over all others, He has the prejudices of flelper, and the religion and something of the resolute will of John Brown on this subject. As President of the United States, he will make all other things aub ordinate to the suppression of slavery. The “free speech” of abolition @miaseries will be enforced in the Seuth. Collisions between armed forces will ensue, and the alternative of aSouthern confedenacy will “precipitate a re- volution ” Such are the contingencies foreshadowed from Lincoln's election. His opponents, as they stand, are only destroying each other. They might save themselves and the country in the movement we have suggested. Otherwise the country will hold them responsible for the troubles and calamities—political, financial and social, North and South—which will be inau- gurated with the aggressive anti-slavery ad- ministration of Lincoln, Our blundering, bungling and wrangling democratic politicians, who are responsible for this existing condition of things, should see to it in time, or they will be overwhelmed in the waves of the November election, never to rise again. Srecutarive Dirtomacy~-Oun Trape wits Jaray.—When it was resolved to give the Ja- panese Embassy a reception involving a con- siderable amount of expenditure, it was objected by many that the advantages likely to result from our.newly formed treaty relations with that government were npt worth the cost to which their entertainment would put us. It was affirmed that, admitting the natural re- sources of Japan to be all that was represented, it would be impossible to break down the pre- judices that opposed themselves to a more ex- tended commercial intercourse with foreigners. Its people were held tobe like the Chinese, stationary in their ideas and habits, and but little credit was accorded to them for the de- spatch of a diplomatic mission here, the fact being attributed rather to their fear of aggres- sion than to their disposition to cultivate friendly relations with us. It required but a short sojourn of the Ja- panese envoys amongst us to disabuse people's minds of these impressions. It was seen almost immediately that they were a highly refined and intelligent people, and that if they had not made- greater progress in the arts of the Western nations, it was owing rather to their exclusive system of government than to any want of intellectual capacity. The eager- ness which they eyinced to inform themselves in all those branches of scientific and mechani- cal knowledge in which we excel showed that they required but the proper opportunities to bring themselves within anear point of ap- proach to our standard of civilizdtion. When they quitted us, therefore, they left behind them the impression that much had been gained for the interests of humanity and of commerce, by the hospitable and liberal reception we had given them. That conviction will be atrengthened by the last accounts that have reached us from Japan. Ere the envoys have reached their native shores, we learn that, in spite of the opposition offered by the party of Prince Mitao to the de- velopement of the foreign trade of the couatry, under the guarantee of the recent treaties, it has been taking a wonderfyl extension. The educated and thinking classes in Japan have not waited for the reports of the Embassy to form their opinions as to the advantages that are to be gained by giving the fullest pos- sible effect to the treaties entered into with foreign countries. In Kanagawaalone so great bas been the impulse given to the export of raw silks, teas and other articles of Ju- panese produce, that the city has nearly tripled in sizeand population within the last twelve months. The French and [British forces in China are now drawing from that source al- most the entire of their supplies, including horses, of which upwards ¢ffour thousand have already been shipped. When the reports of the Embassy and the marvels that they will have to recount of the wealth and greatness of this country come to be circulated amongst the Japanese, it may readily be imagined that at immense stimulus will be imparted to speculation of every sort, and that all classes will embark eagerly in those branches of trade which are connected with foreign exports. From the change that has already taken place in the ideas of the Japanese since tte ratification of the treaties, it may be anticipated that within the next five years a complete revolution will be effected in the habits, moles of thought and commercial organization of that remarkable people. The share that we have taken in bring- ing about this transformation cannot but re- dound immensely to our advantage. Unless we are greatly mistaken, our commerce will be benefitted by it to an extent that will more than fulfil the most sanguine expectations of Minis- ter Harris and the promoters of the recent diplomatic mission. Much, therefore, as we feel vexed at the shameless manner in which our public have been plundered under pre- tence of giving effect to its reception, we are bound to say that double the amount, legiti- mately spent, would have been cheaply bestow- ed in securing the advantages that are already beginning to dawn upon us in connection with the trade of Japan. Great Deartu ann Scarcity or Moxey Avtona THE Powtricians—We are happy to learn that there never before was, in any P’residential con- test, such a dearth of funds among the politicians as in the present one. No money is coming in from any quarter, and the wandering minstrels | and vagrant orators who in former contests used “to fill the country with nonsense and abuse, and loud talking. hare no funds where- with to pay their expenses: so that their sweet voices are heard no more in the towns and vil- lages. The political pamphlets can find no sale or no readers. The election of Lincoln over the scattered fragments of the other parties is looked upon so much as a matter of certainty that nobody cares to buy them, or to subscribe money for the wandering minstrels or strolling orators of former days. The principal, most efficient and cheapest electioneerers for Lincoln are Dongias and his friends in one section of the country, Breckta- ridge and his friends in another section, and Bell and bis friends in another. This wise trio appear determined that Lincoln's election shall be reduced to the least possible amount of ex- pense, Ma. Orr Gives Ia Ue.—Mr. Orr, of South Ca- rolina, formerly Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, a democrat of moderate views, and in favor of Breckinridge and Lane, gives up the contest as lost. He says in a letter to Mr. Mar- tin that Lincola will be undoubtedly elected. and in that event he is in favor of the secession of the Southern States, and a demand for new guarantees and securities, as the republican candidate will be elected on a platform of an- @ying hostility and incessant aggression against the institutions of the South. And yet, the foolish, drivelling democratic leaders are act- ing as if they expected to defeat Lincoln by euch overwhelming numbers as entitle them to split their party into two halves, waging in- ternecine war against each other. Posrrton or Mr. Sewarp wy THE PResipsnTiAL Cowrest.—It appears that W. H. Seward is about to assume a somewhat unusual position in the present Presidential contest. We learn from one of his organs at Auburn that he is preparing several speeches in behalf of Mr- Lincoln, which he intends to deliver in almost every town and city in the North and West, ex- cept, perhaps, in New England, and it is proba- ble that he may even extend his labors to that fruitful soil. This is a very unusual course for Mr. Seward to pursue, particularly when we consider that he, the most prominent candidate for the position which Mr. Lincoln now occu- pies, was slighted and passed over, for he has been very reluctant during the last twelve years or more to take any leading, active part in Presidential campaigns. In the Scott cam- paign of 1852 he made oply two or three speeches, and he was induced to speak for Fre- mont once or twice ‘only in 1856, and then ap* parently very much against his inclination. In varying from his usual custom now, Mr. Seward is probably influenced by the certainty which he feels of Lincoln's triumph, and also with prospective reference to the positi which he expects to hold, and ought to hold, Mr. Lincoln’s administration if he should be elected, as well as With some regard for those friends who were instrumental in defeating his nomination at Chicago. In consenting to par- ticipate thus actively in favor of Lincoln, Mr. Seward is most likely acting under the advice of Thurlow Weed and Chevalier Webb and the others, who, since the nomination, have been abusing Greeley for defeating him at Chicago; and if Lincoln does reach the White House, and Mr. Seward should occupy the position in his administration which he has a right to ex pect, those parties who brought about Mr. Sew- ard’s defeat wili have to look out for squalls. Errorts to Esrastisa a TrrLe FoR THE Sace or THE Detcu Cuvrca.—We see that the appli- cation made to the Supreme Court for leave to sell the property known as the Middle Dutch Church to the United States government, for $200,000, subject to the claims of the vault owners against the society, has elicited a deci- sion favorable to the trustees. Judge Leonard held that the order should be granted if there are no human remains interred there, and there- fore granted it conditionally on a reference to take proofs to the fact. As the petition states that all the bodies have been removed from the vaults, this decision would seem to be all that was wanting to establish the right of sale. We bave strong doubts, nevertheless, whe- ther Judge Leonard's opinion, even if it be ad- mitted to be sound, will enable those who hold the property in trust to transfer it to the United States government in such a manner as to pre- vent the latter being involved in law suits here- after. This trading in churches, graveyards and dead men’s bones is not s business which the United States should be concerned in. Pro- perty granted in trust, and for pious uses, ought not to be, and cannot ordinarily be, the subject of a barter disregarding and repudiating the trusts. It would be well to inquire, before the title in this case is pronounced good, whether the whole of the price to be paid for the church ($200,000) is, according to law, to be devoted to the fulfilment of the trust by being employed in the purchase of other city lots in Meu of that sold. This trafficking in graveyards and dead men’s remains would in other countries be deemed sacrilege, and in this it is abhorrent to all refined and delicate minds. ‘Tae Prixce or Wares Comma to New Yorx.— The excitement about the coming of the Prince of Wales not only still continues, but is on thein- . The English residents bere are about to him a ball on a magnificent scale. We un- derstand the Chamber of Commerce are to give him another ball, and it is probable that the Board of Brokers will follow suit. Why the association of lawyers and the editorial corps should not also give him similar entertainments we are ata loss to know. Trinity corporation is prepared to give him a warm seception; but it is a head of the Church, and as a ball would not be exactly in keeping, the welcome will take the form of a great revival meeting. There has been no revival in old Trinity or St. Paul's since the time of the Revolution. The advent of the Prince will wake them up, and wonder- fal results may be expected to follow. Arch- bishop Hughes does not intend to give Edward Albert a reception, which we think is rather il- liberal. Pius Ninth received the Prince warm- ly when he visited Rome, and why should not Jobn, of New York, follow his example when the illustrious stranger pays a visit to the metropo- lis of the New World? The Prince, however, will have a good time here, and will hardly be able to accept all the receptions and invitations which will be offered to bim. Gaeat Excrremest or Mr. Bext.—Io another column we publish a correspondence from Ten- nessec, in which the writer states that Mr. Bell, the candidate for the Presidency, is greatly ex- cited against the New York Henauo, We are sorry to hear he is so much agitated in this hot weather, in which there are ao many cases of sun stroke at the South. It is much safer for him to keep cool. Now, we wish to give a piece of our mind to Mr. Bell, and to all others concerned. We ad- vise them that we publish a newspaper, not for their convenience or interest, but for the pub- lic; that we do not expect or desire to please all parties, or any party, or even any particular individual; that we spare no pains or expense to obtain the most accurate news, and that our only ob- ject is to publish the truth. Sometimes this news cuts against one Presidential aspirant, and some- times it favors the hopes of another. If {t ever casts a shadow over the prospects of Bell, or apy other candidate, we cannot belp that. It is none of our business. The Henan is not a par- ty hack, but an independent journal, which pnb- lishes political intelligence from all poiuts of the compose, and reflects public opinion at the North as well as at the South. We merely tadi- cate the currenis and counter currents in the po- litical atmosphere, and are not responsible for the direction they take, any more than we are for the changes of the wind. So the Presiden- tial candidates have no right to blame us when wind and tide set in against thean. But in view of the extreme probability of the cogs of the black republican candidate, there ig one advice we would give those who profess to be so anxious to defeat Mr. Lin- coln, and that fs that they, Bell and Everett, Breckinridge and Lane, Douglas and Johnson, will have the magnanimity to come before the people and renounce together all pretensions to the Presidency and Vice Presidency, and let all the conservative elements of the country opposed to unite upon one candidate for President, and another for Vice President. Thus, and thus alone, can Lincoln be defeated, and it is humbug and sham to talk of defeating him in any other way. Where all the conservative candidates with- draw, the honor and pride of none can be wounded, and none can claim a victory over another. Let us see who will be the first man to accept this proposition—the only one that can save the country from the ascendancy of revo- lutionary republicanism. Affairs at the National Capital.

The Japanese present being thus increased by sixty parts, each member of the force was assessed five dollars for the Mayoralty election, Half of them, being authorized and paid by Congress, although ap. pointed by the Mayor, may be considered federa! officers, and they ¢o not relish this method of taxation any more than New York taxpayers do that by which they are re" quired to pay for the follies of their Common Council. ‘TUE UTAH JUDGESUIP.
