Europe. ‘The cable telegrams are dated July 25. ‘The Carlists have risen in large numbers in Spain, From Madrid we learn that a fight between the Carl- ists and government troops had taken place at Ciudad Real, The insurgents were defeated and a number of them killed and wounded. In the province of La Maucha the followers of Don Carlos have assembled in great numbers, The greatest excitement prevails throughout the country, Cuba. Admiral Hoff, with the Albany and Gettysburg, reached Santiago de Cuba on the 11th inst., and the people of the clty supposed the intention was to bombard the city, for the execution of Spackman and other Americans. Civyilities were exchanged, however, with the Spanish officials, and Admiral Hoff accepted the explanation of the Governor of the district, who said that he could not resist the clamor of the volunteers, and consented to the death of the Americans in accordance with Duloe’s proclamation declaring them to be pirates. The Ad- miral strongly protested and the Governor agreed that such prisoners should receive trial before exe- cution hereatter. The‘ squadron ieft for Key West on the 16th, and the Governor of Santiago, in order to prevent complications, probably, gave orders, it 1s said, that prisoners hereafter should be killed out- right and not brought into the city.

Secretary Bontwell, in reply to an inquiry of the Collector of Customs at New Orleans, decides that the coolie trade is illegal and contrary to tbe treaty between this country and China, which 1s now awalt- ing the approval of the Emperor. The laws passed in 1867 relative to this “new modification of slavery,” as the Secretary calls it, have not been abrogated, as some seem to suppose, but are in full force, and under them ministers, consuls, collectors and other officers of the government are directed to use every effort to suppress the trade. It is probable that the public debt will be reduced nine millions by the time the next monthly state- ment is made, but alter that no further reduction is expected until October or November. At the end of the first year of the present administration Secretary Boutwell hopes to show a reduction of one hundred millions. The purchase of bonds and the sates of gold will probably be ciscontinued.top Pag yit Wash. _— esyamrsays that Judge Dent will pe nomi- mated by the conservatives because he 1s a lesser evil than an extreme radical. James M. Alcorn, gard to Oubat Tt is gaid that General Sickles’ mission to Spain has reference especially to securing the independence or annexation of Cuba, The administration, or some of its members and organs, have put forth this idea among the Washington correspondents of the press, This reported action of the government has been used, in fact, to allay the impatience of the public with regard to the extreme rigor with which the neutrality laws have been enforced against the Cubans and their friends, What is the truth in this matter? Has the govern- ment any policy on the Cuban question? Is General Sickles to use his efforts to secure the independence or acquisition of Cuba? Or is all this talk only to cover up the hesitating timidity and notoriously unpopular course of the administration ? We see by our European news that General Sickles had arrived at Madrid, and from his rapid journey thither, not stopping on the way at London, Paris or anywhere else, it would seem as if he were intent on business. But we are left in the dark. The country wants to know and ought to know what the policy of the administration is if it has any. The age of red tape and reticence in international affairs is passed. It is time our old fogy Cabinet officers understood this. The great statesman of Prussia, and perhaps we may say of the world, Count Bis- marck, understands it; for it will be remem- bered by our readers that he freely and fully discussed with the Hgratp correspondent important questions of national and interna- tional policy, knowing that it was all to be pub- lished in New York and would go back to Europe. No; the time has gone by when the diplomats and governments of the world could clothe their views and doings in mystery, as the timid ostrich hides its head from fear of those who look at it. Let the American people, and for that the whole world, too, know what the policy of the United States is regarding Cuba. Our Minister at Madrid will be listened to with not less attention and the Spanish people will better appreciate whatever motives or. arguments may be made when boldly proclaimed. If the administration is about to open the question of the status and future of Cuba with the Spanish government it will not be difficult, we suppose, to show that this distant posses- sion of Spain canno longer be profitable or useful as a colony to the Old Country, From the strength of the insurrection in Cuba and from all appearances that island will conquer its independence ; but if that should not be the result the colony will be ruined and never more of value to Spain. It would only be an expense and constant trouble to the home gov- ernment; and in the end, sooner or later, it must become independent and fall into the American republican system. Should the statesmen of Spain take a broad and liberal view of the situation and magnanimously give up the colony they would secure the gratitude of the Cubans, the lasting friendship of this republic, and a good share of the increased trade that would be developed in and with the island. On the other hand, should our government haye no policy relative to Cuba, and make no efforts to stop the effusion of blood and the ponding ruin that hangs over that rich island—should it, in fact, calmly and indifferently let things drift on as they are going, there will arise a burst of indignation throughout this republic, and our relations with Spain maw hoas-- semwty vumspucared, igere 18 RO question as to the tone of popular sentiment in America, The emphatic expres- sion of Congress just before it adjourned, the formeriy a United States Senator, will probably be nominated by the radicals.

Amarried man who attends bar at a restaurant In Washington was soundly cowhided on Pennsyl- Vania avenue on Saturday night, by the mother and aunt of a young lady whom he is believed to have decoyed from home. After getting asevere thrash- ing he managed to escape, and the women were taken before a magistrate and fined two dotidrs, President and Mrs. Grant attended the Methodist Church at Long Brancn yesterday, when Bishop ®impson preached, and afterwards dined with Mr. Jonn Hoey at his residence. George B. mcCartee, Chief of the Bureau of En- gtaving and Printing in the Treasury Department, has resigned. A movement is being made among the army om- cers to demand of Congress next winter an iacrease of pay. ‘The stables attached. to the Mansion House at Long Branch were burned yesterday, The City. Henry Ward Beecher preached his farewell ser- jmon at Plymouth church yesterday, the occasion being his departure for his usual summer vacation. Rey. Charles B.

In the case of Magdaiena Marrini, a German wo- man, who was found dead in her room, back of No. 184 Elizabeth street, on Saturday, a jury yesterday decided that death resuited from Bright's disease of the kidneys, accelerated by a fall. A Goop SieN From Mextco—In the fact that in the expression of the popular will our Mexican imitators of ‘“‘the great republic” have advanced to the high degree of ballot stuffing. How, then, can it be said that there is no hope for self-government in Mexivo, or that she is not qualified for annoxation? Is not this Mexican ballot stuffing a great im- provement on elections by the bayonet? Is it not an important step to the regular substitu- tion of the ballot for the bullet? Ballot stuff- ing, then, isa step forward for Mexico; but AN Important Question. country the farmers, from the superabundant crops of everything, are complaining of the low prices of their products. We are not aware, however, of any material reduction from bread and butter to potatoes and turnips in the retail business ia these things with our city consumers, How is it that the good news of a bounteous supply of food in the country is so late in getting to town? That is the question. Can anybody answer it ? Tue Lone Braxou Bats,—The ball which is to be given to-night at Long Branch in honor of General Grant and his family promises to bea brilliant affair. All the fat incumbents of fat offices will, of course, be present, and, like all such gatherings, where a few dollars pay the piper, the party will be fringed with the tallow chandler and codfish aristocracy, well known views of most of the leading men of the country, and the course of the press generally, show that the recognition of the Cubans, as beHigerents at least, must come at no distant day. Several of the South American republics have already recognized them as belligerents, and all will soon, The United States cannot pursue fong a different policy, and declare against the principles of American republicanism,which we here have constantly upheld before all the world and proclaimed to every peopl when struggling to be free. The position this country holds at present, if there be not a motive in it to secure the inde- pendence of Cuba through Spain herself, is unworthy of the great republic. By all means let the government have some definite policy and let the people know what it is, The French Atlantic Cable. The French telegraph cable across the ‘At- lantic is in successful operation, Our corres- pondent at Duxbury says “everything was satisfactory beyond the hopes of all.” The laying of ocean cables of almost any length has now become an easy matter, comparatively. Modern science and practice in the work ena- bles men to overcome all obstacles, to pene- trate the greatest depths of ocean, to conquer the turbulent waves of the Atlantic and to defy the raging storm. The graphig descrip- tion hich we have published of the progress ot laying the French cable, from the com- mencement till landed on American soil; of the detection of faults in the cable through constant communication and by the most deli- cate instruments; of the buoying, cutting and splicing of it in mid ocean, while the great ship that bore it rested on the heaving Atlan- tic, and of the beautiful management of the whole work, reads like a romance. The most important results must follow this enterprise, It will increase and quicken communication between the two continents, stimulate com- merce, bring the nations of both into closer and more friendly contact, and ought to cheapen very much the telegraphic rate of charges. But there is room for more, and the more there are and the cheaper the rate of charges, the greater will be the business. We have now the English and French cables, but we want an American cable~one to be laid by American capital and enterprise. What do our capitalists say? Who will undertake the work? It is intimated in a Boston contempo- rary that there will be a third cable within a few months, projected by American enterprise and worked by American capital, We hope this is 60. Rivalry is the life and soul of busi- ness, and, as we said, there would be profit- able work enough for another Atlantic cable, or for more than another one.

The soil of Spain is again crimsoned with the blood of her children engaged in battling against each other in the name of revolution headed by legitimacy, against revolution which claims to be founded on the popular will and sanctioned by a citizen vote. Don Carlos’ in- vasion, as it has been termed, of the soil in- duced “‘isings” in support of his claim; the newly appointed executive met the movement by military efforts for its repression; blood was shed five days since, and this morning we have to record by special telegram from London and through the Atlantic cable the facts of the occurrence of other and more severe engage- ments, the killing of a number of government officers, the cutting of railroads and tele- graphs, the marching and countermarch- ing of asmmed men, with the exist- ence of a home contest so general, apparently, in its character that it must eventuate either in the readjustment of the present form of government on a new basis and with new men atthe helm; another and more radical change; foreign invasion at the instance, it may be, of party invitation and the promptings of the exiled Queen, or anarchy. On Sunday, the 18th of the present month, Don Carlos was announced as having disap- peared from France and crossed the border into the province of Navarre. From Paris we were told that he was “hotly pureued” by French police on nearing the frontier. These officials, in genera so active in the discharge of their duties and so unerring in their identi- fication of individuals, failed to interrupt his journey—a fact which may be interpreted ‘as significant or the reverse by the public in estimating the chances and consequences of the issue, The Carlist party in Spain assumed a “threatening attitude” the very next day. Queen Isabella’s partisans commenced to agitate for war on the 20th inst. They tendered the military command to General Lersundi, formerly Captain General of Cuba, which that gentleman, for reasons best known to himself, judged it prudent to decline. The excitement extended from Madrid. It per- vaded the country during the night, so that Barcelona, Cordova and Valladolid, with other important points, were in insurrectionary atti- tude the morning of the 21st inst. Numerous arrests were made, and generals, colonels, sub-officers, private soldiers and peasants were classed by the Cabinet as malcontent, traitor- ous, or in actual counter-revolution, on all sides. Napoleon employed himself as a neu- tral and pacificator, ordering that all ‘‘Span- ish conspirators” should depart from the fron- tier—a measure which proclaimed to the sur- rounding peoples that Spain, even in her days of infantile democracy, could produce ‘‘con- spicators,” just as did France in her era of reasserted imperialism. Moved and influenced in such manner and by such causes, the Spaniards met in arms. A battle was fought at Ciudad Real, one hun- dred miles distant from Madrid, on the 20th inst., between the civil authorities and the advancing partisansof Don Carlos. Several persons were wounded on both sides. The Carlists were driven off or retired, their lead- ers either escaping or being unknown. Action in the fleld was followed by secret caucus in the cities. The musket and sabre were, it was rumored, to be exchanged for poison, the knife and the stiletto, the government announcing the discovery of a nlo+ having fur ito aty-ee wie removal of the lead- ing emancipators—Serrano, Prim and Ri- vero—by assassination. Fevered, uncertain, aimless to some extent, and vastly demoral- ized in national apirit, the Spaniards initiated the Carlist ‘‘outbreak” which we chronicle to-day. His adherents, the Basquinos particularly, are in arms in many hundreds, Ciudad Real being still their chief point of concentration. A battle was fought yesterday between his men and the troops of the exist- ing goveroment, which resulted as stated above, and other engagements are expected momentarily, The Carlists, to the number of four thousand, were at La Mancha last night, government forces being on their march towards that place with the purpose of attacking them. The Spanish question at home presents an eventful point in the European history of the day, a point which develops the truth of the embarrassing fact that ‘‘Not all the blood at Talavera shed, not all the laurels of Barrosa’s height” have ‘‘won for Spain her well asserted right.” When, and by what agency, and in what form, will she obtain it? BovuTwELt For StoKEs.—Secretary Bout- well is getting on very well with the money question, but very badly on reconstruction. He was and is opposed to the victorious liberal Walker party in Virginia, It is reported that he is stoutly opposed to the Senter liberal party in Tennessee, and in favor of Stokes and his disfranchising ultra radical faction, and so on, in Mississippi gpd Texas, Now, when Jt is apparent that Mr. Boutwell is becoming strong in the administration and the dominant party on the money question, he is, at the same time, in a fair way to make much mis- chief on the reconstruction question; for the truth is, that unless the rep ublican party shall fall in with this new liberal Southern party it will before the end of a year be swamped in every Southern State. And the worst of it is that while General Grant remains silent on this question his outspoken Secretary of the Treasury is construed as speaking by author- ity. There must be a clear understanding soon, or there will be trouble in the Cabinet on this subject with the return of Congress, es Tue SaNpwion Istanps.—The letter which we published yesterday from Honolulu, dated July 3, contains a suggestive account of the dull condition of business, especially in the sugar trade, for which the Sandwich Islands are in the main dependent on the United States, partioularly California, Oregon and the great West. It appears that the sugar kings of San Francisco might dictate terms which would decide three-fourths of the foreign population of the Sandwich Islands to become active advocates of annexation to the United States. As for the native population, sickness is prevalent, the mortality is unusually large and the next census, if allowed to tell the truth, will tell a sad tale regarding the decay of the aboriginal race. A Briwuiant Inga FROM GENERAL Grant.— No politics where fast horses are concerned, Ask Mr, Murphy? Executions. The progress of the revolutionary war in Cuba has already evolved international ques- tions of important interest, as between the governments of Spain and the United States, and is likely to produce others of a very diffi- cult character should the policy of the Cabinet in Washington remain hesitating or doubtful as to our course or means of action in the premises. From Key West we are specially informed that Admiral Hoff’s squadron, com- prising the Contoocook, Gettysburg and Centaur, reached that point’ from San- tisgo on Saturday. The Admiral re- ports in detail of previous accounts the sanguinary character of the contest which is being carried on in Cuba, and that it was of such. nature as to cause his interference to a certain extent, The Governor visited our flagship, on which occasion the Admiral made inquiry as to the recent executions of American volunteers; to which his Excel- lency replied, in effect, that he could not re- sist the ‘‘clamor” for their death, and conse- quently had the dread penalty inflicted by virtue of General Dulce’s late order, directing that armed invaders should be treated as pirates. Admiral Hoff characterized the action as murder, and entered a sharp protest. As if in evasion by a very grim reply, or the practice of a most melancholy and fatal subterfuge, the Governor has ordered the Spanish troops not to bring in any such class of prisoners in future, but to “kill them on the spot.” The citizens of Santiago were considerably excited by the presence of the American war vessels. It was, indeed, reported at one moment that Admiral Hoff was about to bombard the place. This state of feeling was quieted by the interchange of official visits between the Governor, the American Consul, and the Admiral, and the firing of a salute in honor of the Spaniard. Something more decisive is required, and soon. Throckmorton on Texas Affairs. The report which we published on Saturday of an interview with ex-Governor Throck- morton, of Texas, confirms our belief that the conciliatory course favored by Senator Wilson and other sensible leaders of the republican party, and tending to the removal of the disa- bilities which have hitherto disfranchised vast numbers of the whites, will ultimately result in the satisfactory settlement of all the diffi- culties in the way of Southern reconstruction, The plan which has proved successful in Vir- ginia, and is beginning to work so well in Tea- nessee as to secure the approval of even Brownlow himself, is not likely to fail in Texas. If the views of the more moderate and en- lightened republican leaders should be re- jected and the violent counsels of the radicals, who it now seems proable will soon be left out in the cold, should unfortunately prevail, the work of reconstruction would be indefi- nitely delayed. But the reverse will, we trust, be the result, even if to obtain it the forma- tion of a new party should be requisite. Ex-Governor Throckmorton accounts for the disorders in Texas immediately subsequent to the late war by the lawlessness of certain dis- banded Southern and Northern soldiers. He says that stories of outrages on Northern men are all the more extensively and readily fabri- cated in Texas because that State happens tobe wo fm mum ime centres of intelligence, and a lie can get such a long start before con- tradiction can overtake it. He testifies that within the past six months the people them- selves, almost unaided by the military or civil authorities, have succeeded in purging the State of almost all “‘its infused element of criminality,” and to-day there is as much respect for law and order and of protection for life and property in Texas as in any State of the Union, He adds :—‘‘We want Northern immigration and capital. We got some of it up to within twelve months ago; but the political uncertainty that has since prevailed stopped the flow completely, When finally restored no State in the Union will make such rapid progress as Texas.” Let us hope that this prediction will ere long be fully verified. Taz Bortpive Laws.—We published yes- terday quite an exhaustive review of the building laws. It showed a peculiar state of things. While the laws prescribe the minutest details as to the size of the walls, columns, arches and the like for brick, stone and iron houses, the erection of frame or wooden buildings is left free under so-called “permits,” issued by the Superintendent of Buildings as his own discretion may invite him to do it. This is all wrong. There is too much power placed in the hands of one man, and though it may not be abused it is cer- tainly liable to be misused. The case cited, that of the shanty on the northeast corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street, is 4 strong one in point, The permit was at first re- fonnd; but the owner, being a prominent ward politician, gained his object. Thus politics override the lawin everything, and a poli- tician, provided he belongs to the ruling cliques, may very much do just as he likes and snap his fingers at the law and its officers, even at that mighty individual, the presiding genius of the “executive department for the survey and inspection of buildings.” Tue Income TAx.—That portion of the In- ternal Revenue law which relates to incomes winds up as follows:—‘‘The taxes on incomes herein imposed shall be due and payable on the 30th day of April in each year until and including the year 1870, and no longer.” A powerful pressure will be brought upon Con- gress during its next session to abolish imme- diately this unjust, unequal and consequently unpopular law. The condition of the finances of the country will warrant the abolition of all further tax on men’s earnings. Sorry To Hear It—That Senator Anthony is not collecting ammunition for a renewal of the war on Senator Sprague with the re- assembling of Congress, We are sorry, be- cause we want peace, and there will be no peace in Rhode Island until we have a deci- sive settlement of this Sprague-Anthony war. To be sure, it does not amount to much, but it is enough to keep Rhode Island in a stew, Summer TraveL.—The hotel proprietors at the watering places and summer resorts are lamenting over the lack of visitors this season, If they would fill their houses they must come down ia their vrices, interesting of the Israelite Synod or Sanhe- drim at Leipsic, It will be seen that our cosre- spondent is the only one, either from this coun- try or Europe, that gives a full account of the action of this important assembly, and that the distinguished and learned Israelites there recognize and appreciate the services we ren- der. ‘The resolutions of the First Israelite Synod,” as our correspondent says, ‘ will be- come known to European Hebrews by re- translations from this journal.” ‘‘ Ah,” these Israelites said, on seeing our representative, “there is the Hzratp correspondent again. Now we are sure that our children and rela- tives in the United States will hear all about us, and send us, as they did last year, a faith- ful acceunt of our activity here.” Referring to the interview and conversation with Count Bismarck by @ representative of the paper some time ago, this correspondent remarke that the diffusion of this intelligence in Eu- rope through our publication of it first is like that of the interview with the great Prussian statesman which was published on the 14th of last month. The account of that conversa- tion, he says, ‘‘ is going the rounds of Germany and the Continent, translated from the Haraip, and printed and reprinted in all the leading papers, as well as in the small fry, the semi- official Norddeutsche Allgemeine, Bis- marck’s organ, taking the lead.” Thus wo see the mighty agency of the modern press, and, what is more, the recognition by the statesmen, journals and people of Europe of the superior enterprise of the independent press of New York. And here we may re- mark that, in the interview with Count Bis- marck referred to, that remarkable man showed that he fully appreciated the power and usefulness of the press. Unlike some of our small politicians, he did not hesitate to grant the interview and to talk freely. Directly the application was made by our correspond- ent, and the object of it made known, he promptly replied, ‘‘Come at eight o’clock this evening ;” and the great man was there to the minute. It will be remembered that on the occasion Count Bismarck spoke fully of the domestic politics of Prussia and Germany, of the character of the Prussian Parliament, of his own difficulties with that body, of the want of comprehension of his grand and far-reaoh- ing policy, of the affairs of Europe and of the international relations of Prussia. In fact, he spoke with less reserve and more fully than he would have done in a State paper or in a speech before the national legislature. He did this, too, knowing that what he said was to be published in America, and would go back to and be spread over Europe. Really, he made the Heratp the medium of defining his policy, both national and international, to the world, In this conduct, and in his recog- nition of the power of the press, the Prussian statesman showed himself as great as in his government of Prussia. Who will not say that the press, by the aid of the telegraph and steam communication, is the. mighty agent of civilization in modern times ? Cnersz Partnes vs. STANDING ARMIES,.— The abolition by Austria of several small em- bassies marks another Austrian reform. But of what avail are all such candle and cheese paring savings in Austria or any other Euro- pean State while from Austria to England they are all eaten up by great standing armies watching each other? There must withina year or two be a general European conference providing for the abolition of these great armies or they will be destroyed by and by in a general European war. This is the great European question of retrenchment and reform. Our Report or RELIGion.—The news of foreign revolution and war in Spain, insurreo- tion and executions in Cuba, the arrival of the Puliman car over the Pacific Railroad, the recovery of the Fenlan funds, and General Grant's attendance at a ‘‘clambake” and rural altar, with the extreme heat of the weather combined have failed to detach our church-* going population from attendance before the pulpit and altar. Thousands of our fashion- able exiles worshipped yesterday at foreign shrines, while very many of our faithful and slightly fashionable pastors reouperated on foreign shores. Our home churches were not deserted, however, as will be seen from the reports of the valuable sermons delivered dur- ing the day, which we publish this morning, Sentinels are still on the watch towers, Dog IN THE MANGER.—The radicals decline to acknowledge the result of the Virginia elec- tion a republican victory, and at the same time they refuse to allow the democrats tg claim it. AN Eprror to Br Cuter or Poticz.—The Cincinnati papers report that the chief editor of the Commercial in that city is to be Chief of Police. New York once had its Old Hayes. Cincinnati will now have its Old Hal- stead. ARMY INTELLIGENCE, The finding of the Court Martlal,in the case of Lieu- tenant Charles Garrettson, Seventeenth infantry, tried at Galveston, Texas, has been disapproved by the President, and Lieutenant Garrettson is restored to duty. THE LATEST RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Permission was yesterday given to remove the body of William Green, the voy crushed beneath a locomotive attached to an oil train belonging to the Hudson River Ratiroad Company, at Sixty-fifth street and Eleventh avenue, as already re- ported, from tho Thirty-first precinct station house to the residence of his parents, No, 746 Eighth avenue. At the time of the accident the lad was going to bathe in the river, and on reaching the rail+ Toad track stopped to watch an upward bound train, when an oil train going down came upon him un: awares and crushed his head most fearfully, causing almost instant death. Deceased was the son of Mr. Matthew D. Green, well known tn political circles of the pastas an ardent Henry Clay Whig, and moro recently a8 an active member of the Republican party. Not long since he képt a publie house in Four- teenth street, near the corner of Fourth avenue, Mr. Green, who is now in very poor health, is absent from the city. THE DEATH OF MAS. SULLIVAN, In the H&RALD of yesterday morning the death of Mrs. Ellen Sullivan, an Irish woman 46 years of age, late of No, 39 Park street, was announced, In a note sent to the coroner's office, Sergeant Kennedy, of the Sixth precinct, says deceased had been sick for seven days, during which time she was attended by Dr. Rosenberger, of No. 60 Centre street, who re- ceived ten dollars for his services. After death the friends applied to Dr. Rosenberger for a certificate, which, it is alleged, he refused to give unless paid $5 additional. ‘’he doctor, 1t 1s further alleged, declined [oy the police any information as to the cause of irs. Stulivan’s death, The case was reported w be ‘one of cholera morbua. Coroner Fiynn lias the mat- ter ip charwe and will make an Inveatiration, SrErsoN House, Lona Branon, July 25, 1849.
