Make New York the stock market of the world.--Establish military schools; have a decent army — it looks respectable when you want a review.

[Hear.] Wait until she gets into Mexico, under the guarantee of France and England, and get the military roads built, than 1st the Northern and Southern army close up and take Cuba as a dependency, and carry out the Monroe doctrine. [Hear, hear] We want more room [Laughter.] We are getting cramped and crowded and we must have an outlet for the rush of emigrants that will pour into the country when we declare peace.

, and is always conspicuous on occasions when purely Spanish feeling is evoked. This afternoon Consul Shufeldt sent a note to the Captain General, complaining of the rebel flags, protesting against their being permitted to be displayed in the manner described, and requesting their removal — The Captain General, with his usual amiability, complied with the Consul's request, and the obnoxious insignia were taken down by the police. Nothing has been said publicly of the outbreak in St. Domingo; never the less, I venture to say my information is correct. In the mountain parts the people are in arms, and the Government will have much to do to put them down. This reminds me of a story that was circulated here a few days ago of a Union rising in New Orleans. It was said there had been hard fighting in the streets, and that the Unionists were defeated. For my part, I do not believe one word of it. We have had two or three arrivals from New Orleans since then--one on Sunday,

rt of the world; because it is a solemn protest, on a par with a former act established against the Anglo American pretensions of excluding Europe from all interference in the affairs of these countries. [Allusion is made most probably to the St. Domingo affair.-- fid. N. Y. Herald.] It is true that this egotistical and presumptuous doctrine has never been considered by Europe in the arena of diplomatic discussion; but there was wanting to the rejection of it a contrary affirmation founded onthat the people, and the women in particular, did not dare to present themselves at the street doors of their houses, for fear of the violence which they were told that the Spaniards would commit; but they, al ways generous to the weak, are now the consolation of some who are in need. I have seen the behavior of the Spanish soldiers in St. Domingo, and I now see it here, and I am more and more convinced that our troops are possessed of excellent elements to make them the first in the world.

rrers have been prepared in the old penitentlary. Cheever in bad Repute. The occupation to-day of the Hall of the House of Representatives, for the second time, by Dr. Cheever, for the purpose of pronouncing an abolition sermon against the Administration has been formally profested against by a number of representatives, and will probably occasion the introduction of a resolution regulating the use of the hall on such occasions. What to do with negroes. It is supposed in San Domingo, that the Queen of Spain would invite Lincoln to ship all the surplus negroes and contrabends which remained on our hands after the suppression of the rebellion, to San Doxingo, in accordance with the idea of African transportation contained in his late message to Congress. From Port Royal. The U. S. steamer St. Lawrence has arrived in New York from Port Royal. The general opinion prevailed that an attack would be made on Fort Pulaski at an early day.

faction to which Senator Sumner belongs. The man who proposed to send ambassadors to the black republics of Hayti and Liberia. now proposes to put the black race over the white race at the South, wherever the blacks are more numerous than the whites. By some unnatural idiosyncrasy, all Senator Sumner's sympathies are lavished upon negroes, in antagonism to the interests of the race to which he is supposed to belong. Such is his passion for the negro that he would lay the train for St. Domingo massacres from the Susquehanna to the Rio Grande, and he would bright the Christian civilization of the Caucasian race in order to substitute the cannibalism and fetishism of the King of Dahomey. Having played his part in breaking up the American republic of white men, this fanatic is now engaged in the work of preventing its reunion. Mr. Sumner maintains that the Southern States cease to belong to the union, and therefore we of the North may treat them as we please — they are beyon

bout two hundred tons of coal, and five passengers from a Confederate schooner that ran ashore off the west end of the island. The Captain of the schooner being acquainted with this port, offered to pilot us in, and Capt. Pegram, thinking this the safest place to enter, laid our course accordingly on the morning of the 24th. After leaving the harbor of St. George, the second day out — the 25th--We captured and destroyed the Yankee schooner, Robert Gilfillian, from Philadelphia, bound to St. Domingo. She was 140 tons burden, nearly new, and had an assorted cargo; the whole was valued at $25,000. The Captain and crew, consisting of seven men, all told, were taken on board. And now I come to the best part of our trip. One morning at daylight Cape Look out light was visible, bearing Nne. We ran in towards it, and soon the blockading steamer Blenville was seen bearing four points off our starboard bow, and we steering due North for the entrance to Beanfort We hoisted the Yankee fl

y mean the annual tribute they have hitherto wrung from the South, and to preserve which, or to avenge its loss, they would rejoice to carry fire and sword over our whole country. Already they have deprived us, as far as they could, of our slave property, and it is only one step down in the descent of crime to place arms in the hands of those whom they liberate, and in this way solve the perplexing question of "what to do with the contrabands." The horrors of the French Revolution and of St. Domingo combined are the entertainment which the mild and merciful Government at Washington has in store for us, if we do not lay down our arms and sue for pardon. Happily, the practicability of this scheme is not as palpable as its fiendishness. They must conquer with the means now at their disposal a large portion of the country before they can derive any considerable accession of numbers from their proposed sable recruits. And when that is accomplished, then will commence in earnest tha

ng their own resources;" a command of the grain market, that will enable them, when bad harvests afflict Europe, to create a famine there and an export duty on cotton, that will more than equalize the difference in the price of their labor and that of other countries, how can England, France, and Spain resist their dominion? From the former, aided (if need be) by Russia, they will take her American possessions, including the fisheries, whose competition they have, from the last, Cuba and St. Domingo; from all, the markets of the world. For, strive as they may, never will those powers be able to obtain elsewhere cotton so good and cheap as we can furnish to them. Mexico, of course, will be theirs in time — an empire far greater than ever Napoleon could have attumed to. See, in contrast to this, what assisting us will give to the European powers.--All we ask is recognition, and the raising of the blockade, that we may receive your manufactures (including munitions of war) in ret

ing been occupied for some time chiefly with matters concerning the interior department and economy of that State--such as, for instance, the elections, the administration of justice, public education, the responsibility of judges, and suppression of judicial costs, &c. It appears, from the reports of the civil and military authorities of Valladolid, izamal, Ticul, Espita and Tizimin, that the order of things remained unbroken in those places as well as in Meriden. We learn from St. Domingo that a scheme is on foot for establishing a railroad between Santiago and the Bay of Samara, in the said island; and it is talked of making Samara a free port, like that of St. Thomas. The Queen of Spain has approved of a plan for the construction of a new cemetery at Havana. In Spain they call the Island of Cuba the Cemetery of Spain, on account of the great numbers of Spaniards that yearly emigrate from the mother country to this place, and of whom so many only find an early grave

epudiated, resting a blot upon our annals. And while at home we are groaning with distress and standing on the verge of bankruptcy, if we look abroad, the spectacle tends only to our shame. We see the sceptred hands of Europe planting their royal banners upon the soil of this Western hemisphere, which it is our natural duty to consecrate to Republicanism, and which we might at least have guarded from the greed of foreign despots.--The flag of Aragon and Castile flaunts in the air of San Domingo, and, united with the blazonries of France and England, is unfurled upon the walls of San Juan D'Ulloa. Where may they not float twelve months hence, if we, the natural guardians of this continent from foreign interference, should still be busy with dabbling in each other's gore? --Sir, if there must be war, let it be against the natural enemies of Republicanism, and as we have already humbled our national pride to conciliate the British lion, let us make some sacrifice to win back in am
