She will he due here on Monday evening next. A new Indian loan, amounting to five millions sterling, had been announced in Great Britain. Nothing additional was known as to the Peace Conference. The news from the Continent was pacific, and France was preparing for her naval disarmament. The Army of the Rhine had been disbanded. Compensation had been obtained by the American Minister at Rome for damages sustained by Mr. Perkins during the attack on Perugia by the Papal troops. The London money market was rather more stringent. Consols, which had risen on the 3d to 95 a 95j, again receded on the 4th, and closed at 94J a 95. American securities were steady. Cotton was unchanged in price, and the market quiet and steady. A few forced sales had been made on the 3d at a reduction of an eighth ot a penny. Breadstuff's and provisions were dull. The quotations for breadstuff's were barely maintained | with a prospect of a favorable harvest. , The Quaker City arrived at this port yesterday i about noon from Havana, with news to the 8th ( instant, having left that port about five o'clock on [ the evening of the above named day. The Quaker ' Citv has made the nassatre in about three divs and i seventeen hours. There was nothing important * transpiring in the city. The mortality seemed to ' increase, and two Americans, Mr. Towner, of New 1 Haven, and Mr. J. B.Phillips, of Philadelphia,lately from St. Louis.Mo., had died there, one on the 5tli and the other on the Gth instant. The British mail steamer from Mexico had arrived at Havana with two millions of Mexican dollars on freight and some passengers of note. Consul General Helm has come in. the Quaker City on leave of absence. The news of a peace in Europe had depressed the markets and disarranged the calculations of the speculators. The current rates were:?Offers for No. 12 sugars, 74 reals; 7$ reals asked. Molasses?.'i reals a 34 reals. Freights not improved. Exchange? Northern cities, 2 a 5 percent premiunv, more asked hut not obtained. Stock of sugars in Havana ? : 50,000 boxes, against 100,000 in 1858. By the Quaker City we have advices from the 1 city of Mexico to Aug. 1, and Mazatlan to the 4th of June. Our Mazatlan correspondent reports a continuance of the social disorganization which has so long prevailed on the west coast of Mexico. Pesquiera was about to leave Mazatlan for Sonora at the head of seme troops, when Gen. Vega would take command. From the period at which the liberal party took possession of the first named city it was more quiet, but a good deal of class division existed among the people. TJie church party were about to assault Colima, and the liberals were about to advance in force with the view of capturing Tepic if possible. If they should be defeated, it would be a great triumph for and add much strength to the Church party. The money raised from the people for war purposes was squandered pretty freely by ail the officers in command. Captain Stone's party was in rather a critical position at Guaymas. There was a pretty brisk trade carried on between San Francisco and Muzatlan. Mazatlan was enlivened by theatrical performances and the music of four military bands. Our correspondent on board the United States ship St. Isuiis, dating at Aspinwall on the 2d of August, states that a despatch had reached the flag officer from our representative in Carthagena.N. G., asking that a war vessel should be seut there. This was, uo doubt, although not reported, in consequence of the popular riots at that place already reported in the Heralo. Some cases of fever existed on board the Boanoke, and a mild typhoid prevailed to a slight extent on the St. Louis. The position and movements of the United States squadron are given. By way of Havana we have intelligence from Venezuela to the Oth of July. On the evening of the 7th ult. an order was received from the government to close the port of Laguayra. A few moments before, according to the Comercio, the American bark Rowena and two other vessels had set sail, and were far from the port before the Harbor Master arrived with the orders. The port continues closed, but no cause is assigned for the act The same paper says that on the departure of Gen. Paez from Laguayra, on board of the Rowena, all the vessels in the roadstead hoisted their flags, and the Spanish brig Tersicore ilred a salute of 21 guns. This same steamer was in port on the arrival of Gen. Paez from the United States, and on that occasion also saluted with 21 guns. Leiciaga attacked Valencia with 1,000 men on the 7th of July, but was repulsed after some lighting. This is contained in an oflicial despatch from Caracas. Our files from Rio Janeiro contain a few additional items of newB from South America. Urquiza, at the latest advices, was continuing to concentrate troops on Rosario. The government of the Confederation had suppressed the duties which the goods of the Oriental republic formerly paid. It was rumored that Pena, who recently returned from a special mission to Lopezwould soon be sent back to Paraguay. The Legiilature bad been prorogued. Urquiza's fleet was nearly fully armed and would soon be ready for nek- From Buenos Ayres we learn that the army had already reached the frontier, and the island of Martin Garcia was fortified and held by a force of artillery and two hundred men. The political emigrants from Chile, who had arrived at Mendoae, announce the defeat of the rebels by the eovorn. ment forces near Serena. We have flies from Bermuda to the ^d of August, but the papers are destitute of news. The yacht squadron sailed from Newport yestordr?v morning, and arrived at New IWford about bye o'clock ia the evenieg- -loops were led x: by the Maria and the schooners by tbc Madglj, anif all entered port In tbe same order of arrangement adopted at Newport. Tbf Health Commissioners adopted a resolution jesterday authorizing the City Inspector to extend the hog campaign to Ilarlem. They also dcelured Kingston, Jamaica, and Tampico, infected ports. Several members of the Twelfth regiment appeared before a committee of the Common Council yesterday to plead their case in opposition to the remonstrance recently sent into the Common Council by Generals Ewen and 8 indford. The report of the meeting is in another column. We give this morning some further particulars of the history of Dr. Ellis, the confidence man. The statements of parties who profess to have known the Doctor's antecedents do not place him in a very favorable position before the public. The city is not backward in every regard in looking out for its own interests. A week ago proposals were advertised for next winter's supply of wood and coal, and the proposals were opened yesterday at the Street Commissioner's office, and the awards made to the lowest bidders. The lowest bid for coal?3.000 tons being the amount re quired?was $119 per ton, against $3 95 per ton paid last year. For wood?500 cords being the specified amount?the lowest bid was $2 20 per cord, against $2 32 per cord paid a year ago. The coal and wood is for consumption in the City Hall, in the various bureaus of the city government and in the fire engine houses of the city. In the absence of Mr. Judson, one of his legal advisers, Mr. Dickerson issues a card on the india rubber controversy, which we publish to day, and in which he maintains Mr. Judson's rights as licen" see of Mr. Goodyear. The quarrel now begins to as sunie a more serious aspect than u mere controver" sy for "patent rights;" and before it concludes we should not be surprised to hear of the counsel for the respective parties fighting a duel with patent india rubber pistols, and bullets to match, "war" ranted not to kill." A destructive fire, involving a loss of property to the amount of $150,000, occurred yesterday afternoon at Lawrence, Mass The United States Hotel, the Central Congregational church, the Court House and some wooden buildings were consumedThe Unitarian church was also partially consumed. Three men were killed by the falling of the hotel walls. Three of the Oberlin abolitionists, who had been attending the Anti-Slavery Convention at Cincinnati, were yesterday served in that city with notice of a suit against them by the United States Marshal for false imprisonment. The mails from Santa Fc reached Independence yesterday, but bring no news of moment. Another Irnntr ho a )>a,in fnrnicH nritli ?l,n ..w.j v"v "J"-" rains had fallen throughout New Mexico. The convention of railroad delegates, now in sesat Washington, have resolved to run a double daily train between New Orleans and this city. The new arrangement will go into eflect on Thursduy next. Tbo rales of cotion yesterday embraced about800 bates, roe market closed dull on the basis of about 12Kac. per pound for middling uplands. Toe upper and finer qualiits being comparatively scarce continued to be held with irmnesa. As usual, at the heel of the cotton season, the iroportion of Infeiior grades, including dirty and trashy lickings, Is large when compared to the supplies of clean ind good qualities. Flour was again heavy and lower, sltb moderate Bales to the domstic trade and for export. Southern brands were without change of moment, while tales were to a lair extent. Wheat was unchanged, and alee fair, included In which were new Southern at tl 36 and prime white Kentucky at It 50. Corn was heavy, and closed at easier rates. Old and new Western mixed sold at 76c. a 77c , and round yellow at 80c. Pork was in aoue bettor request and without important change in prices; new meea sold at $11, clear ditto at $17 25, and prime at $10 a $10 12. Sugars were steady, with ealoscf about S00 hhds. a*, rates given in another column. Coffee continued active, and the sales embraced between 6,000 and 7,000 bags Kio, SCO Maracalbo, and 600 St. Domingo, all on terms given In another place. Freights were firm, with more doing. Among the engagements were about 800 bales uncompressed cotton at "32d., and to London 1,100 bbls. flour at Is. 9d.; also, 1,OCO bbls. oilcake at Is. 9d. per bbl. There were alsc engagements to Hamburg, per leu dallion head of the Italian hero, with the simple words, " General Garibaldi," and on the reverse the words, "Commandant les Chasseurs dee Alpes." In the eale of these medals the demand for that of Garibaldi, even in Paris, exceeds that of all the others, while in England it is the only one that commands any popular favor. That single fact speaks volumes as to the ten dency oi man's minds and the leaning of theb hearts. It demonstrates that Garibaldi has be come the true leader of revolutionary Europe It was his voice that brought the Italian youtfc into the field of blood. All classes of society hastened to serve under him, and even scions ol noble families thought themselves honored by serving in his ranks. Ilia skill made not only men, but heroes, too, of them. Under him they fought as the legions of old fought?as his three hundred fought, when in 1849 they cut theii way out of beleaguered Rome. The patriot s>l diers of Italy have now a chief to whom not only they, but all Europe, look with awe. No doubt it was this that the two Emperors taw so plainly in the revolutionary vision reveal cd to them at Villafranca. Francis Joseph, by his obstinate adherence to the ideas of the Middle AgeB, had provoked the revolutionary hopce of the age. Louis Napoleon availed himself of it, through Count Cavocr and the National Italian Committee. Garibaldi, Klapka Kossuth and others took service in the movement as a means to the great end they had at heart. But when the Emperors saw Garibaldi t-tiiding with victorious steps along the southern base of the Alps, that he turned the soft Italian youth into lions in war, and that Klapka, tonla, to Mil on Monday, and to Antwerp by aaiilng vessels and steamer. ^ Gen. Sam Houston and the New Complications or the Presidential Issue. If "coming events cast their shadows before:" if wc may form an estimate of the strength and sweep of an approaching hurricane from a look it the gathering clouds, then we may undertake ?say. from the signs in the political horizon, hat the Presidential conflict of I860 will be something like that terrific war of the sky and -ta, and winds and waves, when a roaring tempest darkens the Gulf of Mexico. Considering, too, the withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan from the Presidential arena, the confused and irreconcilable discords of sections and factions, the various aspirants and cliques, and their conflicting plots and plans for the succession, the late proceedings of the Albany Regency, the uombshell of the Wise-Donnelly letter, but, above all, the curious and suggestive results of the late Southern elections and the late Oregon election, we may well inquire who will be competent to save the country in 1860 from the perils of a Eectional dissolution? We see that the republican Dartv are Drenarinc to take the Bold in the form of another grand Northern cru?ade against Blavery and the 'slave power;'' that the Southern ultra leaders of the democratic party, upon euch violent pro-slavery demands as a Congressional slave code for the Territories, md the revival of the African slave trade, are threatening the final explosion of the party at the Charleston Convention; that the Northern Douglas movement also threatens a rupture; while the conservative political elements of the country are as much perplexed as was Daniel Webster when he asked, ''Where am I to go?" One thing, however, is very certain, and that is the ignominious defeat and dissolution of the national democracy in 18G0 unless the Charleston Convention shall nominate a candidate for the Presidency competent in himself to represent and reunite all the factions and fragments of the party. Mr. Buchanan did this good service for them in 185G, but who will be competent to take his place for the succession? The late Texas election, from all that we can learn, furnishes a ready answer. General Sam Houston, called from the retirement of private life to lead the law abiding and Union loving citizens of Texas against the fire eating party regency of that State, and their new shibboleth of the African slave trade, is the very man in this crisis for the national Democracy. We received a few definite returns of this Texas election last night, indicating the success of Gen. Houston: the fire eaters, indeod. give It up, and no doubt appears to exist of the triumph of General Houston as the independent, conservative administration candidate for Governor. His success, therefore, against the local democratic regency, which had assumed to ignore the policy of Mr. Buchanan's administration, and to substitute the revolutionary policy of the fire-eaters, is a victory which cannot he too highly estimated. It is a staggering blow to this African slave trade movement; for in this popular rebuke from Texas the fire-eaters of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia will be able to read a wholesome lesson and to perceive the necessity of taking the back track. In addition to the strong and solid rccommen EW YORK HERALD, SA cation thus secured by Gen. Houston, bis re maj table public career of forty years, military aid civil? bis sound and conservative views and principle upon government affairs all the waj thicugh? his acts of heroism and patriotism ''familiar in our mouths as household words"? would render tim an invlnc ble candidate before il o people. In the strong, expressive lunguage of Jehu Van Buren, " he would run like the cholera." We suspect, indeed, that Gen. Houston lerg ere this would have been trotted out by some democratic national convention, but that the managing politicians have all along been afra:d of his individual popularity?afraid that UC wuuiu jhuis wu Duuug among me people 10 l c managed by a regency. This fear, we bolieve, induced the convention jugglers at Baltimore, in 1S52, to shut their ears and eyes to the availability of Gen. Houston and to fall back upon poor Pierce. J ut no such trick of convenient obscurity will avail in 1800. If the party managers at Cincinnati, under the instincts of self-preservation, were compelled to call upon Mr. Buchunun, alter giving him the cold shoulder for twenty years, they will be still more under the necessity this next time of casting about for another Hercules to lift them out of the mire. General Houston is their man. He can save them. Let him be nominated at Charleston, and he can be elected. He can recover some of the great States which our democratic regencies have thrown away, and retain all that the party has not lost. Ilis name would be a ' tower of strength" to the party. Indeed, for the popular uses of a Presidential canvass, "old San Jacinto" would operate like New Orleans, Tippecanoe and Buena Vista. There would be no Seward upon his back to break him down, as "old Chippewa" was broken in 1852. But General Houston, it may be said, was only the other day the leader in Texas of the Know Nothing-! What does that amount to ? Most of the shining lights of the democracy were in other times old federalists or old line whigs, and not a ftw were led off for a while by the jack-o'-lantern of Know Nothingism. Where else could Gen. Houston go than into the Southern Know Nothing camp, when he found, in 1854, that he could not follow Douglas and Pierce, and Maeon and Toombs, into that dangerous and ruin ous experiment, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise? Now, haviDg declared the Know Nothing party dead, having cordially planted himaeli upon the administration of Mr. Buchanan, and against the Southern fire-eaters, and having been supported by the solid and intelligent German vote of Texas, who shall attempt to question the democracy of General IIouBton or his soundness concerning the rights of our naturalized citizens? "Old San Jacinto" is the man to harmonize and save the distrac'.ed and crippled democratic party. He has had nothing to do with their destructive intestine feuds of the last four or five years, and ihus he is just as good 03 a new man. Let our democratic fir ends of law ani order, who expect to have a voice in the Charleston Convention, consider the superior availability of Houston, and remember that availability is the only word that can save their party. The right ti.au to slip in between the belligerent Wise aud Douglas is that solid old campaigner General Sam Houston. Che Popular Leader of Europc?What Course Will Garibaldi Pursue ! The man who has gained the most in public opinion throughout the world during the recenl campaign in Italy, and who has secured permanently a high place in its estimation, is Giusseppi Garibaldi. He has shown himBelf to be a Roman hero 01 the ancient stamp. Calm in council and active in the field, he has exhibited wisdom in the moderation of his aims, and therefore his success has been the greater in attainment He is the true representative of the revolution that is undermining the present state of Europe. He has shown himself to be a patriot of pure heart, and a statesman who knows the impossibility of achieving at a single blow a great victory over the political prejudices that have been admitted for centuries, and who iB therefore willing to secure a triumph by instalments. His career in 1848, ending with the heroic defence of Rome, had made him the idol of Italy. His course in 1859 has turned the eyeB of all Europe upon him and given him a permanent sway over the popular heart. Many facts combine to prove this, but none of them in a more direct and convincing man ner than one Bimple thing which we will men tion here. Three medals in bronze have re cently been struck in Paris in commemoration o recent events. One of these has on the obverse medallion heads of Napoleon IIL and Victoi Emanuel II, surmounted by the outstretched wings of the French eagle, with the legend " Alliance Franco-Sarde pour l'inddpendence "de l'ltalie, 1859," and on the reverse a wreatl around the words, " En tide des Armies Alliles a Milan," with the legend, " Victoires de Monte bello, Palestro, Magenta, Marignan." A smaller one of similar character, with the medallion heads as above, without a legend on the obverse, and on the reverse a wreath encircling the words, " Victoire de Solferino, gagnd le 24 Juin 1859." The third has on the obverse the me TtJftDAY, AUGUST 13, gi tie ft/idicr, and Kossuth, the lip-warrior wt.re pitpaiing to rouse the same enthusiastic heroism I in Hungary, their hearts quailed; and, to Iht turprlee of the whole world, they stopped the war, turning their attention to the pacification of the feeling they bad assisted to arouse. Tos day the ejts of all men are turned to Garibaldi, to know what course he, a- their chosen champion, will pursue; and every monarch in Europe awai< s in fear the determination of the popular hero. lie must know that the cause of liberty ba? gained much through him, and It is to be hoped that he will not fliog away the power that has come to him by entering upon a desperate and hopeless contest Thus far he is silent, but it is the silence of wisdom. Oil. Wlit'i Lettei?The Ltit Explanation of (he Albany Confidence Han. In another column we publish the second explanation of the Albany confidence man, the Chevalier Cassidv. who cave a conv of Mr. Wire's letter for insertion in the New Yo k papers, but now endeavors in vain to throw the responsibility of publication on other men's shoulders. The Jesuit only flounders deeper in the mire. In his first explanation he denies having had anything to do with the publication, and insinuates that he had not possession aud control of the letter. Now, after the epistle of Bernard Donnelly is published, and when denial by implication is no longer of any avail, he admits that Wise's letter was "confided'' to him; and thiB admi-sion, coupled with the public statement of Donnelly that no person had obtained a copy up to the time he had given the letter to Oassidy. nails the confidence man of the Albany Regency like a rap to a counter. In bis first explanation he attempted to throw all the blame on what he calls "the chief of the Herald's secret police"?an organization which he says we have established for the purpose of procuring news. But if Cagsidy did not allow the letter to be copied, how could our agent get hold of it? In the Bamc article he says we would sacrifice all the politicians in the world for priority of news. Undoubtedly we would, because the news is ot more value to the public than the politicians. We would not merely sacrifice them; if we could, we would hang them, one and all, as high as Ilaman, and believe we were doing God and the country good service. In point of fact, however, the agent of the Herald does not deserve so much credit in this instance as Cassidy gives him. All the New York journals of the Associated Press had the same news on the same morning. They had the substance of the letter. The only difference was that the Herald had it verbatim. Where did these journals get it? From the very same source from which it reached us. The agent of the Associated Press obtained the substance of the letter from the same party which save the Uebald's agent a complete copy, and that party got it from Caaaidy, who cunningly took the precaution of covering up hie own tracks in the dirty transaction. But the statement of Bernard Donnelly traces the fox and the letter to his den, and he cannot get over it This scrupulous politician pretends that he found there was a copy in circulation before he revealed the communication to his most intimate political associates, though Mr. Donnelly gave him the privilege of doing so. Perhaps he is right in saying there was a copy in circulation. Mr. Cassidy is good 1 authority on the subject; he ought to know. He call tell how it got into circulation. Why does he not make a clean breast? ' In his own words, the original was "con fitted" to him. Bernard Donnelly declares that 1 no one obtained a copy before, and if that state, ment is not true, it is easy to contradict him. Whatever copy, therefore, was obtained, muBt have come from Cassidy, who admits that he alone had the original. In the last explanation of Confidence Cassidy he mends his band. Driven into a hole, like Reynard, after a hard run, he is desperate, and turns at bay. He now charges that Mr. Wise has ; been "in confidential correspondence" with us, ! and that that is the way the letter has been made ! public: just as if Mr. Wise intended that this private letter should eee the light. A more shameless ; assertion could not be made?it carries its own ! refutation on its lace. We have had no confldenI tial or any other kind of correspondence whatever with Mr. Wise. As well might Cassidy 1 say that all the other New York editors had con! fidential correspondence with the Virginia Governor, because the substance of his letter appeared in their journals on the same morning on which we published it in full. The idea of this pure j Albany bird imputing " fraud'' to Mr. Wise, and _ I rnorottinf* fhof hn ianaf filled fxritVi "rnmApan an/1 AV.Q4 VVVUig ?MM? UV MiMWM UUVU IUMI * VUAVi OV UUU shame" for his sin, is the coolest piece of Impu! dence we ever saw in print. One of the foul harpies in that notorious nest of political villaoy talking in this style can only be pictured to the ' reader by imagining that he sees the devil with a cowl, or a surplice on, rebuking as a violation ' of chastity the exhibition of the nude statue of 1 Venus, or as a violation of the Sabbath the enjoyment of innocent recreation in the cornlields on Sunday. 1 The mean trickery of ConGdence Cassidy & Co. is entirely worthy of the Albany Regency, whose history for the last thirty years would ' unfold such an amount of treachery, intrigue and general rascality as would astonish the whole country if hud bare by the trenchant 1 pen of Governor Wise. What a mass of corrup' tion would be exhibited to view by its keen edge! lie knows the early history of the Regency 1 as well as any man living, and he has friendB ! | enough in this State to post him up as to its later machinations and dark deeds. We venture tn P'lv t.hni. a lottor of Mr. Winn, itonirtinir fM? faction in its true colors, from the beginning to tbe present time, would be the most interesting ; production that ever emanated from his prolific 1 j brain, and that it would do a greater service to the country and to the common cause of political morality than anything that has been published in modern times. Tbe materials are ample and rich, and Henry A. Wise is just the man to put them together in a scathing historical sketch. The Oregon Congressional Election?A Dei-eat of toe Regency.?It appears that Da vid Logan, republican, has been elected to Congress frem Oregon, over Lansing Stout, demoi crat. This result, should the Presidential contest be thrown into the House, will be to the democracy the loss of a State equal to New York in the House election, vh which each State gives i but one vote. True, New York will have thirtythree members to cast her one vote, while Oregon will have but one member to do the work; but the vote of Oregon will still be precisely of the same value as that of the Empire State. In this view, therefore, this success of the republicans in Oregon is a most important victory. But how were the democracy to signally upset in Oregon? By the Regency?the spoils and , plunder managing Regency of General Jo. Lane, >9. Pelozon Smith & Co., a sort of Albany Regency oil a email scale, and yet a Regency aspiring to the control of millions of public money. The people of Oregon, diegusted with this Regency, bnTO .Riven them a setting down. The Albany Regent/ probably come next in order; for in every u'rcct. on the democracy are getting disgusted with these corrupt lobby jobbing party regencies. Wh? HctlreaiCk'tt of Uie Xtothichllds from Uke j^lniuicliU Woiid. Among the intelbfc/ence which has reached us by the last packet is a eomewhat well assured rumor of the intention c'f the Rothschild family to retire from the flnant ial world of Europe The ieasons given for this s udden determination are neither full nor satisfactory; and, inasmuch as the rumor had not yet been .confirmed by any reliable declaration from any number of the family, the moneyed men of Paris and others experienced in the mysteries of finance were in clincd to think that such a measure is utterly incompatible with the nationality of tho family and their love of domination. But to us it ap pears that there is a far more powerful reason than any of those advanced for discrediting the idea, which renders such a determination highly possible, if not probable. Hitherto the principal importance which has been attached to the name of Rothschild has been founded upon the necessities of the sovereigns o Europe and the ability and readiness of this family to m'nister to those necessities. When the ravages of war hod convulsed all Europe to its centre, and thrones and governments were tottering to their fall, the mendicant kings were but too glad to coll in the aid of the Rothschilds, and it was partly through their agency that such extensive loans were raised, the burthen of which has been cast upon all posterityEngland, France, Prussia, Russia, Austria and the other Powers of Europe have all in their turn benefitted by the immense financial resources of the family, acquired by the smartness of the founders of the house. In fact, for a long succession of years the house of Rothschild has been the general banker of the European governments, and so important has been the service which it has rendered to the crowned heads of Europe, that the highest distinctions which mo. narchB can confer have been freely bestowed on the various members of the family. The extension of railway communication in France, and the internal improvements of other European countricp, are mainly due to the assistance of the Rothschilds in obtaining means from others; and it was not to be wondered at that a family of such notoriety, to whom the governments of Europe looked for financial assistance in the hour of their necessity, should have exercised, up to the present time, the most potent influence in Europe. But all this is now changed. So long as the bigh influence of the Rothschilds continued undisturbed, and their relations to the European governments as bankers and money lenders were not interrupted, it was their inter&l, as no doubt it would be their determination, to continue in the field as the most prominent financial men in Europe. But their long established influence has received a severe shock. With the advance of modem ideas and the progress of the irresistible principle of democracy in popular government) kAO*?i oy*A lntnn/.:K1 a n,k!A A UIG UUtUJ SU1U iUUIU^IUiC,DJfDbCU10 WUIUU, 1U U LIU LIU U as In general politics, corroded the vitality of former generations, and Involved every nation n Europe in debt and bankruptcy, must give way to a healthier order of things. The recent war bus supplied abundant testimony of this fact. The readiness and rapidity with which the late French and Prussian loans were taken up, on adirect appeal to the people, is a most significant fact. The house of Rothschild has seen it, and to the members of that house it is like " the writing upon the wall,'' for it is a premonition that their influence in Europe is nearly at an end. Baron James Rothschild fully understands this, and hence his anxiety, seconded by that of his family, to withdraw from the financial world while there is yet time, and before the reaction that is fast approaching arrives to sweep the house away in its furious course. Tbc governments of Europe have at last discovered that in cases of national or governmental necessity dependence must not be placed upon the money brokers, but upon the unity and patriotism of the people. Henceforth this principle will obtain in Europe, and it betokens a depth of wisdom in the Rothschilds thus to observe the "beginning of the end," and to take measures to save themselves before circumstances should render such a course impossible. The first Napoleon saw the rise of this remarkable family, and it seems very evident that their star will set during the empire of the third.

A Brace of Letters from Mr. Douglas.? We publish two brief letters from Mr. Douglas, which are a very insufficient exposition of his political principles. If Mr. Wise has been too long In his cpiBtlcs, the DouglaB is rather short and dry. He makes up, however, for their brevity by their number, on the principle that many discharges from a small gun are equal in etfect to one or two thundering shots from a great oneBut we think he has not come out at sufficient length. We want more details. Talking in vague terms about "the great principle of popular sovereignty," and the "African slave trade," and "the rights of naturalized citizens," will not do. We understand, however, that there are a great many letters from the Judge in private circulation in this city, in which he is much more explicit and particular, and goes into minute details of his strategy and his tactics. We have heard of some which he has addressed to an Irish politician, whose name differs but a letter from the other Irish politician to whom Mr. Wise addressed his private communication. Now, perhaps, if those letters were published we might have very interesting revelations, highly nstructlvc to the democracy at large. Perhaps we should have a plan of battle eupcrior to that oi the Virginia general, and which would whip ! bim as badly as the Austrians were whipped at. | Kolfcrino, making him " kick up his heels," and assume other attitudes of a very restive nature. As Mr, Wise's strategy has been disclosed, and 1 tbc enemy will take advantage of It, we think it 1 but fair that the plan of the other Bide should also see the light. Both generalB would then be ; on an equal looting, and be at liberty cither to 1 carry out their original designs or adopt new ' 1 strategy to suit the altered circumstances of prematuic disclosure. We would thus be the better able to appreciate their respective merits as strategists. Fair phy is a jewel.

Lights and Shadows oh Human Life.?la another column will be found an account of the wedding of a New Orleans editor to a rich .Southern belle, which, in the parade and circumstance attending It, seems to have been an unusually brilliant and exciting afTair. The happy pair were received at church by an immense gathering, and on returning to the house of the lady's guardian were similarly weloomed. The wedding took place between eight and nlae in tlio evening, and from that time until an ad" vanced hour next morning the festivities were kept up with unceasing activity. The entertainments provided for the guests, who numbered over five hundred, were danchig, fireworks, a concert, poetical and dramath recitations, and then dancing aguin until daylight reminded the company that it was time to separate. One of the features of the evening was tha employment of a colored orchestra instead of the fashionable German band usually hired (br these occasions. Another was the omission rom the caterer's list of brandy smashes, mint juleps and other exciting beverages, which are apt to stimulate the hot Southern blood to ...'J. AV?

Whether owing to these innovations, or the general felicity of the arrangements, the eTenlng see me to hare passed off with a harmony, cordiality and enjoyment which have loft a lasting impression upon the guests. In sad contrast to the enlivening picture presented by oar correspondent's description of this event is the communication which follows it, and which forms one of the depressing but unavoidable transitions to which his duties daily subject the mind of the journalist. It constitutes another phase of the life of great cities?the story of a poor widow lady, who, after being swindled out of the provision left her by her husband, is now reduced, with her sickly daughter, to a state of the greatest destitution and misery. If there are abundance of rascals in the world, there are also benevolently minded.men, and thiB poor woman has had the good fortune to meet with one of them in the gentleman who makes on her behalf, through our columns, the present earnest appeal. ; Such is life.

But a truce to such reflections. They belong rather to the pulpit than to the province to which our labors are confined. s In the way of wedding festivities we shall soon be able to show our New Orleans friends that we do up these matters in a style that, without meaning any dh respect to them, no merely provincial city can pretend to. We are entering upon the fashionable hymenial season, when the marriages of millionaires become affairs of daily occurrence with us, and when we can rush from house to house to Inspect corbeilles that would outfit a dozen empresses. Our New Orleans correspondent may sneer at Sexton Brown; but what would newly made princesses be without their chamberlains to reconcile the conflicting interests of the old and new regimes. Without Brown fashionable life in New York would be impossible; for does he not borrow tho unnnnn fia well na ononro ttio aHm. dance of the (lite, including the polyglot counts, the dashing Zouaves, and the ioreign decorts who ' vegetate in this nether world of ours. In two or three weeks the first of these great events will come off here, and will, it is affirmed, cast into the shade all Brown's previous efforts. ; The rich Cuban, worth we don't know how many millions, who has fixed his affections ou one of the most beautiful and attractive of our New York belles?the daughter of a retired officer of the Navy?claims within that period the hand that she has promised him. The sums spent on the bridal presents and trousseau would, it is said, make a dowry for an Austrian Archduchess. The festivities by which the event is to be celebrated will of course be commensurate with the wealth and extensive connections I of the parties. If, in the intoxication of the I good fortune and happiness in store for them, I the appeal of the poor widow should meet their 1 eyes and elicit a favorable response, perhaps that act of opportune benevolence will, when the orange blossom has turned to ashes, prove one of the most fragrant souvenirs of their marriage day.
