4 NEW YORK HERALD. | 0.0 20Uiteomaucensres coer We have dates from Rio-; to the 25th of May. ‘There had been » change im the Brazilian ministry, caused by the defeat of the ministerial party.m the House of Deputies. Counsellor Zaga- riagde Goes @ Vasconcellos had been called upon by the Emperor to organize a new mimistry. There is but little commercial news. ‘The coffee market Presented no animation. From the 28d of May ta the 25th the sales were: to the United States, 9,200 bags; to the North of Burope, 17,000; to the Medi- terranean, 2,700, and to California, 2,400 bags, at an average of 11%4c. per pound. Superior washed coffee was held at 14%c., with light sales. Ex- change on London ranged at 2% to 26 pence to the mil reis, and drafts on the United States, at sixty days, at two mil reis to the dollar. Our advices from San Juan dei Norte, Nicara- gua, are to the 14th June. The news is of little importance. Efforts were being made to reopen the old Transit route. Engineers had arrived to take soundings of the harbor, and convenient grounds were selected to establish depots and other buildings. Business was slowly but surely increas- ing, and American gold was once more appearing in the country. The American Mining Company at thia place had sold out and retired. There is no other news, The frigate Sabine, fifty guns, sailed from the Navy Yard, Brooxlyn, yesterday. Ske is bound for some of the Eastern ports for the parposeof completing the complement of her crew. The concert in the Central Park yesterday af- ternoon was Letter attended than usual, there be- ing about twenty-five thousand persons present, besides numerous vehicles. At Jones’ Wood a very large crowd of visitors were present to enjoy the usual Saturday afternoon festivities. The Cre~ morne Gardens were alao more thao usually well attended, the new feature of the reading roomin the Hall of Flowers proving very attractive. Wall street was very cheerful yesterday, and stocks were quite buoyant at an advarce of from oue to five per cont. Poople seemed as eager to buy as they were anxious to sell on Thursday. Money was in better sup ply; call ioans, 5 a 6 por cent; exchange, 121 34 @ 44; gold, 10934 a 110. ‘She cotton market was firm yesterday, before the nows was received, and about 150 bales were sold on the basis of 89. for middling uplands. Aftor the in- teliigence by the Hibernia came to hand, giving ax account of an advance of 13d. or about 3c. per pound in Liverpool, holders advanced their terms, and asked 40c., and in some cases even 4lc per pound, which checked transactions, as they wero uot met by pur- chasers. Flour was steady, and in fair demand from the trade and for shipment. Gcod extra grades of State and Westera were quite firm, while other kinds were unchanged, Wheat was tolerably active. Inferior qua- [ities were dull and easier, while good shipping iots of Western amber, red and club were drmer, and fur some descriptions rather better. Corn was in good request, and prices without change of importance, with sales of old Western mixed, good to choice, at 54,0. a Sic. Pork was lower, but active at the concession, with sales of mess at $10 50 and prime at $3 50 4 $3 6235. Sugars were frm and active, with sales of 1,800 bhids. ané 410 boxes at full prices. Coffee was quiet and steady- Freights were firmer, with a fair amount of engage’ ments. The Army of General McClellan—tts Lute Danger and Its Present Safety—The Daty of President Lincoln. Our late painful suspense is at an end: Army, capital and country, we were in danger of shipwreck, and have bad « narrow escape. We bad feared, and had good reason to fear, after seven successive days and nights of fight ing and marching, and all the trying labors incident to a continuous battle, from point to point, that our noble army under General McClellan, without adequate food or rest, would still be compelled to struggle against the fresh forces of the rebels, till from sheer exhaustion a surrender or annihilation would be its fate. To the confidence of our brave and enduring soldiers in their Jeader, and to the skill and ability with which he changed his position in the face of the enemy, we are indebted for the preservation of his army. He has not only saved it, but has removed it from a pestilential swamp to the dry open hills which overlook James river, and where he is close to bis sup- plies, and within immediate supporting distance of our gunboats. General McClellan, therefore, in conducting this delicate, difficult and dan- gerous military movement to the end desired, is eminently titled to, and will assuredly re- ceive, the approbation of the country. There can be no misconception of the drift of public opinion upon this point. The sagacity which marked his original plan of operations, and the criminal folly of the parties responsible for the substitution of another plan, are now establish- ed facts. General McClellan has failed to take Rich- mond, and has suffered serious losses in men, artillery and warlike materials and stores, in his struggles to extricate himself from e posi- tion rendered untenable from the heavy rein- forcements sent in to the army of the rebels, and from the very scaaty reinforcements to his own. With his army thus weakened by battles and disease, he could not hold his White House base of operations twenty miles in his rear and his intrenched line of ten miles in front of Richmond. His original plan, if we are not mistaken, was to move his whole Potomac Army of jast winter ina grand semicircle upon Rich- mond, sweeping the entire country from the Potomac to the valley of Virginia before him, and contracting bis lines as he advanced upon Richmond, not from the east, but from the north, thua leaving no loophole for rebel raids into the Shenandoah valley, nor any chance to the enemy to cut him off from the base of his supplies. Unfortunately, however, this well considered plan was set aside vy the disorganizing aboli- Jamuié GORDOS BENSETT, DITOR AND PROPRIETOR. NIBLO'S GARDEN, Broadway.

We give to-day a graphic account of the late battles before Richmond, the general features of which are already in possession of our readers, Nothing has occurred on the peninsula since Wednesday evening, up to which time our corre- spondents bring the story of the terrific seven days’ battle, which resulted in General McClellan having succeeded in changing his base of operations, though with a heavy loss from a weak point on the Pamunkey to_a strong one on the Jamesriver. That his army suffered so much in conducting this necessary operation is due to the fact that he was not properly reinforced, and, therefore, the enemy outnumbered him two to one. The responsibility of this neglect in strengthening the army on the peninsula will, no doubt, be fully understood by the public, and the parties guilty of the error-— whether of ignorance or design—of not supplying the necessary force to the commander of the Potomac army. The rebel accoumsof the late battles, publish- ed in the Rickmond papers, admit a heavy joss on the side of the enemy, and would imply that they suffered terribly—far more so in dead than we did. The Richmond Examiner, for instance, states that out of one division of rebels engaged in Sunday's fight, only six thousand could be mustered, when fourteen thousand went into action. This éxceeds by far any amount of loss which our records show, in the same number of men. The intelligence from the West is cheering. Vicksburg has been captured by Commodore Far- ragut's fleet. He ran by the batteries on Wednes- day, receiving a raking fire as his boats passed, but without suffering any damage. Commodore Farragut, from below, and Captain Davis, from above, on the Mississippi river, are now in commu- nication, and therefore the whole river, from Cairo w New Orleans is in possession of our troops. Vicksburg was nearly destroyed by the shells from our gunboats, and it is said that General Butler is cutting @ canal across the bend on which Vicks- burg stands, which will change the channel of the Mississippi entirely at that point. Our news from Port Royal to-day, relative to the late attack on the Tower Battery on James Island, near Charleston, is interesting, and shows from the fact that General Hunter has abandoned that point; that the capture of the Tower Battery by General Benham, had he been successful, would have been of the greatest importance in maintain- ing our position on the Island. The Hibernia, off Cape Race, telegraphs Euro- pean news to the 27th of June, five days later. It is anid that the Emperor of France has ueter- mined to sead such an army to Mexico as will force its way to the capital against all obstacles. Admiral la Graviere is to take the command of s large concentrated naval force of France im the waters of America, the Paris Patrie saying that such = step is jesti- Ged by events which ‘may arise out of the Amer- ican war and Mexican affairs.” The Londom Herald, organ of the aristocrats, arges England to ‘‘intervene’’ in the affairs of the Gaited States, to put a stop to the war. ; CONGRESS. in the Senate on Friday, 80 business of public importance was transacted. The House was not in session. Yesterday the Senate adopted a resolution call- ing for Col. Canby’s reports of operations in New Mexico. A bill was passed repealing the act re- quiring that the bonds of paymasters shall be ap- proved by the judge or district attorney where they reside.

This is, at all events, the best excuse that ca@ be made for the depart- ment, in view of the fact that, at any time within: the last month or two, fifty or a hun- dred thousand troops might have been drawn from other quarters to the. support of Mc- Clellan without depriving any essential point of occupation of its protedting military force. In the failure of this great and all important riso we have lost the tabors.of a cam- paign, and torepair this loss aud ta clear the rebels out of Virginia will require an addi- tional budget of'many millions to our national debt. The President cafnot fail now to see where the responsibility belongs. A very sig- nificant feeling of indignation is beginning to develop itself in the public mind upon this subject, and directly against the Cabinet, as at present constituted. Let the’President look to his Cabinet, and to ite r tion as a working unit with tion of thie war for “the adnate voles” and not for the extirpation stevery, and all yet may be saved. Let him neglect this essential duty at this momentous crisis, an@we may go on from bad to worse, until alt-és lost. We can assure the Dresident that the people of our loyal States are bépoming terribly in earnest upon this poimt, jai from their latest manifestations in metropolis; and the time has come when no considerations of a personal character should stand in the way of the paramount object of a united government and people in the great work of suppressing this rebellion. SN aes Tux Biow ro Pusiic Caxprr.—The financial credit of the country has received « shock from the disasters to McClellan’s army from which it will not easily recover. Previous to his being driven back from his position before Richmond government stocks were at an unexampled premium, and the credit of the country never stood so high. Within a week all this has been changed, and now government stocks exhibit more unsteadiness than any other olass of pub- lic securities. Who is responsible for this state of things? Not McClellan, who, in his misfor- tunes as in his successes, has displayed all the qualities of an able general, but the radicals, who weakened his command by taking Banks’ and McDoweli’s divisions from him, and then prevented his being reinforced, although they knew that he wasin a position of the most pressing danger. These are the traitors who would destroy the integrity of the republic, ruin the fair edifice of our financial credit, and plunge the country into hopeless embarrass- ments, to place the negro in a position in which he would be of no earthly use to himself or others. Thus far they have been successful in their intrigues. Let them look out, however, for the retribution that is to follow them. The couatry is losing patience, and it will not be long before they feel the fuli effects ofthe wrath which they haye so industriously provoked. Sexator Somons Arnucxep—A resolution has been introduced into the Senate to expel Senator Simmons, of Rhode Island, for receiy- ing commission for obtaining @ contract for a Rhode Island firm. There is no dangor of its passage. There are too many of -the Senators in a worse fix, and they dare not pass it for fear of the Rhode Island Senator exposing tieir crimes to the world, thus furnishing tke reasons for the intrigues at Washingtom te prolong the war and secure disuster to our armies. We dare the Senate to pass the resolution. We dare them to make an example of Senator Sim- mons, confident, if they do, that the secret jobs of the abolition intriguers will come to light, the mystery be removed, and the cause of the interference with the plans of our gene- rals shown to be for the purpose-of sharing in additional contracts. The Senate dare not pass this resolution. We dare certain Senators to put their names on record in favor of it. Tue Carrorev Resets w Naw Onixexs.— The rebel soldiers now on parole in New Or- leans prefer remaining prisoners in the hands of the Union troops rather than be exchanged. This fact is evident from the following official document, published in the New Orlewns Delta of June 18: TO THR EDITOR OF THE DAILY DELTA.

What necessity would there be forthe issu- ing of such an order if, as some of ar rebel sympathizers assert, there is no munfestation of Union feeling among the residents of New Orleans? Why would it be necessar to state that paroled prisoners would'not “be exchanged, excepting by their own consent,” unbss some inquiry to that effect had been mad¢ _And why would sach an inquiry be, made unless the said prisoners dreaded the chance,of refien- ing to the dominions of Jeff. Davis? Tus Tretu Leacixe Our—The President's hasty visit to West Point now appears to htve been made for the purpose of asking General Scott if General McClellan's plan o/ changing his base from the Pamunkey to tie Jéiles river was necessary and feasible, What, thqn, was the use of the visit? Did not MC) sIlan know his own business as well as Génernl Scott? If McClellan could not be trusie,, why was he kept in commf&nd? If he coud be trusted, why did the War Department comider it necessary to consult with Seott? Fortwate ly that glorions veteran, General Scott en dorsed McClellan's plans; but what if he bad not? Would the War Department hav or dered McClellan to remain where be wai and be captured? «The people are asking thes¢ questions. The truth is leaking out. \ Szcretany Staton AMeNG THE PRort The people are furious against Secretary Siav- ton. They imperiously and unanimously de- mand his removal. Throughout this city, on the Fourth of July, there was but a single senti- ment, which was heard repeated at every turn by every olass and condition of men. It was that if the President trusted McClellan he had no right to harbor Secretary Stanton. “ Either MeCiellan or Stanton must co,” said the peo- ple, “and McCiellaa must not be sacrificed.” TES: Tue Porvian Excrrement—The excitement among the people is unabated. It bas not yet taken the form of enthusiasm in enlistments; but it is still vindictive against Secretary Stanton and the abolition traitors of whom be isthe tool, Wu tus Caswer oe Cnaxono ?—Yer, ifthe country demands itin the tones of thunder which the reckless course of the abolitionists and our recent reverses ia Virginia wargeat. SUNDAY, JULY 6,” Tux Castway.—Men of all parties ate anx~ iously inquiring whether there is not # proxpeot of some changes in the present Cabinet. We do not know whether the President has as yet made up his mind as to the necessity of those changes, though unquestionably the public have. The members of the Cabinet who ought tobe changed are the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Treasury. No one wants to see’Secrotary Sew- ard disturbed. By his statesmanlike views, his firmness and his equanimity of temper, he has successfully maintained the honor of the coun- try abroad, and given us a position before Europe with which, notwithstanding the diff culties in which we are placed, we have every reason to be satisiied. Had all Mr. Lincoln’s advisers done their duty as well by the country: the rebellion would have been long since sup pressed, Sprenpm Gungratsuir or McCyeuan.—Un- der the circumstances in which General Mc- Clellan found himself" at the commencement of the great seven days* battle ig front of Rich- mond, his retreat upon the James river and the gunboats, by which he saved the army from utter destruction, saved Washington and saved the country, is one of the most masterly mili- tary movements on record. With an ordinary general the forces of the Union would have been cut to pieces before the fierce onset of such vastly superior numbers. But the cool- negs, skill and indomitable fortitude of McClel- lan have preserved them for future victories, when they shall be sufficiently reinforced, to return to the assault upon Richmond, capture it, and carry their arms trtumphantly into the very heart of the cotton States. Even his most bitter enemies admit that he has played the part of a sagacious and good general in the Inte battle—the very men whose clamors and intrigues prevented his success by depriv- ing him of the reinforcements necessary to the work he had undertaken. Tur Sroru Commue.—The excitement now is but the mere muttering of the storm. Wait until the long lists of kHled and wounded in the recent battles before Richmond are pub- lished, and the storm will then be at its height. Already the people of Philadelphia hoot Stan- ton’s name in the streets, and declare that no more men will enlist while he remains in office New York city has suffered quite as much as Philadelphia, and shares’ these sentiments, Two New York regiments suffered at Bul! run, and the excitement here was fearful. What will it be when the lists of killed ané wounded come in now? Tysorexce or Traitor Journats,—For the Jaat six montha fon: journals in this city have, by their attacks upon McClellan, been traitor. ously Inboriug to bring about the disasters that have befallen our army before Richmond. These journals are the Post, the Tribune, the Independent ‘and the Anti-Slavery Standard. The Post, undismayed at the results of its own conduct, by which the lives of thousands of our brave soldiers have been fruitlessly sacrificed, calls for the removal of McClellan. The Tri- dune, snivelling and weeping crocodile tears over the reverses of the man whom it has tried to ruin, ironically demands that he shal! be reinforced, and suggests that General Hunter, with a hundred thousand of his nigger soldiers, shall be-sent to bis assistance. Such tauntings and rovilings are consistent with the previous course of these traitorous sheets. It ig the country, aad not General McClellan, that is insulted and ontraged hy them.

Isabolla Hinkley was the daughter of a respectable Albany physician, who had @ passion for music, and played with proficiency on several instruments. Finding that his daughter early developed the same tastes, he bestowed considerable pains on her musical education, and finally gave up his profession and went with her to Italy, where she studied until bis death, which wok plase three years after their arrival there.
