In Portugal, after thirty ’ years' of’ discord, the •condition of the■ people seems to have much improved, since the accession of the present amiable young king. Holland and Belgium are quiet and prosperous. The same may he said of Demjiark and of Sweden and Norway. But all of these, are small Powers and weigh little in,the balance.. •' ■ France, ruldd hy that unfathomable nnd as tute monarch, Napoleon 111, seems to he im proved and improving.’ It is the fashion to biame.Prance. for submitting. to.such a ruler. But his reign, has probably saved that fine conntry from the horrors of a second Reign of Terror, the . misery of civil war, or the ty ranny of incompetent and oft-changed rulers. Napoleon seems to have tbd confidence of France, and, all points considered, that coun try is muchihoro prosperous than .it was either under Lows Philippe or the . two last Bourbon Kings.,, The military spirit ot the nation’has been gratified by the preparations, offensive and defensive, which have so much alarmed; Europe, and, particularly awakened apprehension in England. Inexplicable ns ho is, no, one can-properly anticipate what Na poleon's' nest move shall bo. In reality, lie is, without.war, as. much master of the desti nies of Europe as ever hts'uncle was in the brightest days of the first Empire. England , holds her own—as yet. Her financial condition Is good; her commerce, manufactures, and agriculture arc. thriving. The Chinese war is over, and the Indian re volt, though far Horn ended, seems within view of .a termination. Above all, Ireland is quiet, because she is more prosperous than at any period since her nationality was first lost;. But she is afflicted with a doubt of the permanency, of the alliance with Prance, with a dread of some hostile manoeuvre on the ■ part-of Napoleon. Those unite to make the skeleton in her house. A great political crisiß is at hand. The Derby Administration. will, have to meet Par iament early next year, nnd must have a new .Reform Bill. On ono hand, the Conservatives go in for a minimum.of Parliamentary Reform, while Liberals will Insist upon a maximum. It is said that'Lord Palmeeston lately said, at Paris, when speaking of the present .Ministry, .* I shall have them out before Easter I” Wo believe , that here the wish is father to the thought. Even if they are out, what chance 'ias this slippery and weather-cock politician >f getting himself in ? Wo beliove that Pal nkbston’s official sun has set, for ever. , Wo notice a rumor, in the last English pa pers, that' Lord Derby had asked Lord John Russell to assist him in framing the new Re form Bill. Were Lord Derby ,so weak as to isk aid a man as Lord John Rub iell—the most unpopular and least trusted itatesman in England, Palmerston excepted —two, things wotild happen. He would .bo betrayed by Lord John, and he would be de serted by that Parliamentary majority, which backs him Up now, because the nation is irod of mere office-seekers, and believes shat, aftor all, the Conservative Ministry ire likely’to do what the mock liberals only promised. There will be n sharp Parliament ary straggle in 1850, no doubt, hut Rdsskll and Palmebston are not likely to profit by it. •Very singular is it that, in England as well as *n:this country, there are foW great statesmen -iow . in' politics, compared' with what there have been 1 at various other periods. -- -From the.'statements we hero have given condition of flier great European/ nations, at the present mo nbnt-, is, troubled. ;In England and, strange tasay, jn Russia there are unequivocal symp toms of a desire'on the part of the rulers to advance the cause of civilization and freedom, ■ iy, means of . Progress. Over the other na tions a shadow seems to hang—a eloud, the •ize of a man’s baud—in the distant horizon. TJie Markel-Styept Nuisances. • k The, welfare of our city fa necoesarilydeeply involved in the prosperity of our merchants. they thrive all our other interests also prosper. TJieir most important avenue for bu> sinesa is ATarkot street, and it .is one of the finest streets in thowerld. It is seven feet wider than Broadway, in Now. Turk, and its capacious dimensions are a proud tribute to the wisdom oT the illustrious founder of our city. Singular to ftay, it has for years been disfigured by unsightly, nuisances Minch have long outlived the liking ,of tUpao who occupy (he street, and their original usefulness, to en cumber ground which should be used for more a] propriate purposes. No other city iu the woild tolerates market-houses in its great bu siness thoroughfares. Since they were erected thecourseof things hoschanged; thu population of the city has been diffused over an immense space,* localities which many yearppgo found. Market street a convenient point lor market ing, have been converted into marls of trado; provision-stores have sprung up in hundreds of quarters where they were formerly unknown; yet the market-houses, which belong to a past age of stage coaches and Conestoga wagons, still lumber up the street, to disfigure a noblo highway, to obstruct the passage of drays and the transmission of merchandise, to embarrass trade, to incommode the merchants whoso transactions add millions of dollars to the wealth of the city, to form a nucleus around which ramparts of garbage are gathered, and when unoccupied, as they are at night and oh Sundays, to be a racing ground for rats ; to be a reproach to tbo commercial spirit •of -- the city, and an eye-sore to the strangers w]tio : come here to make their purchase*.. llow long can the weak arguments by which those antiquated establishments have been defended prevail? How.long must the business cha racter of the city and the interests of thou sands of its most enterprising citizens bo opt weighed by a squeamish regard for the con venience of the denizens of the market houses ? The Select Council has decided by every epipbatid vote in favor of their speedy de struction. ; We trust the members of the Common Council will be prompt in responding •to the earnest public sentiment, which de mands from them similar action. The Vote for County Officers. It should not be forgotten that the late elec tion has taught an important lesson in local as .well as In National politics. The footings up for the three county offices are as follows: sheripp. People I*. 1 *. American. Kert. 33.374.....Jeffrie5, 555 Democrat. Burrell, 25,120 REGISTER OP WILLS. Baffin, 26.079 .McMahan, 32,755. CLERK OV OIIPHAKS* COURT. Brewer, 27,925... .Woolery, 32,393... .Bonsall, 805 The vote for Mr. Brewer is probably the be6t representation that can be given of the Democratic party vote on Tuesday lost. He runs 2,805 votes ahead of Mr. Berrkll, and 010 ahead of Baffin— a change which, in any ordinary eloction, would have completely turned the scales In Philadelphia politics. It is to be hoped that the nest Democratic county convention will heed the lesson taught by this voto. If it does not present good and accept able,nominees, the people will certainly defeat Us ticket. » ' Off with ins head t —The wdrk of decapi fcalion haa jbogun-at tlieouatom house. Yosterday -Mr. W.

Letter from “.Occasional.” (Correspondence of The Press.] Washington, Oct. 17,1859. The letters of General Oass, in reforonoe to Ni caraguan affairs*, whioh wore lately made public, are canvassed in all quarters. It is certain that they have been the text for communications from the Europoan diplomats to thoir respective Gov ernments. and these communications will of courso bring their answers. What will bo theeharaoter of these answors can only be surmised England and Franco, and the gieat Powers of the Old World, may combat tho 'Moaroe dootrino, so lucidly and fully, and resolutely laid down by tho Secretary of State. Russia, howevor, will be on exception, for she is always friendly. But sinoo oar Govern menthaB taken its position on this question, with the expression of a determination to ad hero to it at whatever hasard, it would seem that contro versy is foreolosed. This matter is important when we recall the nows from Spain that an expedition is being sent against Mexico. Under Gen Csss’s letters the Uni ted States oan never allow the Mcxloan confederacy or tho dismembered fragments of that confederacy, to pass under tho control or protectorate of Euro pean Powers The point is still moro complicated by the withdrawal of Minister Forsyth from the city of Mexico. This latter movoment, it is alleged by some, has been the' desire and result of foreign diplomacy. The subject is worthy at laastof care ful consideration aod reflection. It is & notable fact that the English journals have lost mo3t of thoir friendly characteristics, so far as this oounlry is concerned, from the moment that an increase of tariff was agitated amongst our people. When thoy learn how earnest is the wish—nsy, the necessity—/or abetter means of sup, plying the requisite revenue for the ordinary ex. penees of our Government, their venom will exhibit itself more tally. Owen Jones is here to explain to Mr. Buchanan how’ne came to be defeated. Ho and other promi. nent politicians, like Rankin, begin to believe with Bigler, tbaton its Kansas test the Administration is wofully ‘-weak in theknoes.” It is stated that Qlancy Jones.gave himself up to tears and loud la r mentation at the information of biß defeat. Wha* a woudrous story It is! In two years what a change! Tho people of his district reposed confi dence In the pledge that justioe should no longer bo denied to Kansas, and they elected blm by a majority that in other plaoes would of itself give a man a seat; now, when the popular indignation baa been excited against him for bis violation of faith, he is hurled into obscurity with the con tempt and scorn of those who before supported him and did him honor. WhatalpgSQo it leaches to par ty conventions and politicians! In politics, as In morals, the eause of right is tbo worthiest, and with A free people, whore public virtue is tho ba sis of free institutions, it }'s euro to command euo cess. When it fails to do It, then will the histo rian begin to write the downfall of tho Itepublior The infatuation of tho Administration is beyond conception. Notwithstanding tho signal over throw of its polioy in Pennsylvania, the official' guillotine Is still to flow with the blood of be headed anti-Lecompton Democrat?.

Your literary readers will be gratified to learn, ae I have to.dry, from tbo proof-sheets of the Atlantic Monthly for November, that the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table ” has resumed his chats with the pub lic, under the title of <( A Visit to the Autocrat’s Land lady.” In the same number Is a poem f rom the gonial EscuUpius, u The Last Look.” The leading article of the number Is on u Itallwajr Engineering in the United States.” MUs Cheiebro continues “ Her Ora-e, the Drummer’s Daughter.” Dr. Palmer conc'udos his Tory cloverta’e, ** Mlbb Wimple’s Hoop following which Is a review of Randall’s Life of Jefferson, written by Wm. Doraheimer, of Buffalo, (eon of the former post master.) who wrote the hitter review of ParUn’s Burr, that appeared in the Atlantic last fall. Next is ” Pri soner cf War,” (anonymous); then an article on t( Phys’cnl Cou'&ge,” by the author of ( *B&intH'and their Bodiesand lastly, “ A Sample of Consistency,” which sout.ds very like the author of the (( Pocket Celebration ” that appeared last summer. On the whole, the number Is varied and spirited. By tbe way, speaking or the author of ” Pocket Celebration,” Harper's Weekly , for October 23d, will contain a two page illustration of Lowell’s irresistibly comic poem of ” The Courtln,” done by Hoppin. The last sheets of Harpei’s Magazine, for November, are going through the press. The leading paper fa a tt Life of Ethan Allen.” by the careful historian, Los slog) next, a paper on the “Voyage of Paul,” wbioh bears evident marks of the hand of Mr Yf. O. Prime. Mr. Headley furnishes tbe conclusion of Strain’s Journey in South America, written out from the notes of that intrepid traveller. “Our Queer Papa” is an extrava ganza which I attribute to Ludlow tbe “Hasheesh Eater.” Miss Bose Terry contiibutas “Margaret, the Lay Sister,” a readable story, and Mrs. Louise Chandler Moultan a touching poorn colled “Next Year.” Thore’s a very clever sto»y, “MyAugal,” by a lady down in Maine, who la averse to having her name mentioned, and an admirable paper on “Our Wives,” by the Rev. Dr. Osgood, which our wives will be interested with. The preseut number closes the seventeenth volume. On its cover tbe publishers furnish a long list of Its American con tributors; it contains fnore than a huudrod names, which Is Iqib thao half of thoso who have written fur Its pages. Among the names, taken almost at random, I find tbe brothers Abbott, Bryant, Butler (of “ Nothing to Wear” celebrity) Curtis (the Howodji), John Eaten Cooke, of Virginia, Dooald G.

A New York Bknsatiom Item. —The usual serenity of the fashionable locality of avenue O, on the Bast-river side, has recently given plaoe to sornes of a scandalous and alarming nature. A young lady, the daughter of a wealthy oyster tnerohant, residing in the above neighborhood, was jiltod, several months ago, by a foreign gen* tlomnn of rank, a Dutch rag picker, who boarded under the same roof. The girl, although one of the loveliest Bpeoimens of womankind, waß ren dered callous by the hopelessness of her restoration to respeotable sootety ; and she, accordingly, sub mitted the dazslingeff’ulgence.of her beauty to the gaze of the heartless poople of that fashionable locality with considerable reluotaooe, whenever shewasobligedtogo to the hydrant for water. In this way she bad lived about two months, when, one evening last week, she met her jilter at one of our moat popular plaoesof public amusement, and, drawing a fan, whioh it appears she hud con stantly carried about her person ever slnoe her lovor’s desertion, she knooked him down without the slightest remorse. The wretched girl then escaped, notwithstanding the strenuous efforts that were made 19 arrest her; and hiring a vehicle, she was driven, at her own request, to a small street in the extreme suburbs of toe city, and adjacent to the North river, where she took one of the ferry boats and crossed to Jersey, where she was found late last evening. Upon receiving tidings of the event, her distraoted father, who has for some time past labored under serious pecuniary difficulties, with the greatest haste opened a thou sand oysters with a table knife.

The Hope Hose Company accepted that invitation, and consequently arrived in our city last evening at a quarter past seven o’olook. Our firo oomp&nies.met them on their debarkation at the foot of pier No. 1, North river, in great numbers. Hope Hose Company left Philadelphia in the two o'clock train £ yesterday' afternoon. They brought with, them a new steam fire engine which they have recently had constructed, being the .smallevtever built in America; also their new hose vmf- £ o ’ e )hor with 800 feet of forcing' hose.

Ihe whole company wore white gloves and white shirts, done up in the most unexceptionable manner.'. Fatigue caps were attached to fheir capes. They brought with them the United States Cornet Band, of Philadelphia. While the company were disembarking a bronzo cannon, which some, of the firemen had taken down to Battery square, saluted them with about a dozen discharges Hope Company formed with thjrty-ono mon on the fioso carriage, and fifty-six on tho steam fire engine.

October 2 ] The catastrophe which we aro about to chrQnile took plaoe at “Pago Bank,” one of the Beer’s Green collieries. Page Bank Is about four miles' from West Hprtlepoob It seems that the u sight shift” had gone in at two o’clock on Thursday, numbering from forty to Beventy men and boys. With them was an over* man, named John Mould. This man’s duties ceased at BA. M., at whioh time ho had qompteted a thorough inspection of the workings, and had ar rived at the bottom qf the shaft, ready to be re lieved by his successor. The second overman, named Thomas Kellett, arrived attire pit mouth about the same time, aDd was lowered. On his way down he smelt or saw firo in the wood work, and reported the foot to Mould Ac cordingly, they sent information round the works, requesting the men to assemble at the , bottom of the shaft, and in the meantime, began them selves to ascend for the'purpose of inspcotion. Mould rode inside the “ cage,” or box wbioft holds the small coat wggqn In its ascent and de scent, and Ifellett sat on tbeoutsido. They had, it would appear, been drawn up a considerable distance-r-ten fathoms or more—wnon sorao portion of the brattice, whloh had been set free by the fire, fell and knocked poor Rellqtt from his seat, thus precipitating him to the bottomland in all probability killing him. Mould was drawn to the top, and immediately gavo an alarm, but the fire suddenly got spch hold that it. was impossiblo to render any assistance to the men below, although their cries for help could be distinctly heard. The fire very soon got hold of the “ spears,” or wooden arms and piston of tho pumping engine, and thus this was brought to astand-gtill. The flames rushed UP tfae pit, and burnt a considerable portion of the wood-work over its mouth, and evon when this had been extinguished, the denso smoko issuing from the pit-gave terrible indication of the fire that still raged below. The engines arrived in a short space of time, aqd pumped a great volume of water from the river Wear, whloh wag greeted to the burning timber, and also to the drift, the coal in whioh was found to have ignited. It was probably when the fire reaebpd this drift that, the explosion *poken ! of took place.

The ioeidents of this day we:e of an unvarying desori tlpn, and so also of the night. Dense vol umes of smoke continued to be emitted, so dense that the repeated attempts of men to get any dig- , tanoo down the pit were quite fruitless. Brattice sloth was put over the pit mouth, with a view to creating an artificial current, but there was little hope that this would be of any avail, the Intro dpotion of fresh air only making the fire born more fiercely, without rellevipp tfie ppor fellows The Idea of the engineers was that they will be fible in time to out off the fire in the drift from that in the shaft, and that the latter will then ex* hanst itself.

October 3, 1858 —T have tried to ptlr up or explore some sign favorable to the oondition of this country, but my labor bos so far Kroduccd nothing. The more I talk with the po tioal operators hero the more I am convinced of wbftt I have all along said—that there is no hope for the Internal preservation of this country Every new vlotory or defeat tells the same story— gaok and piliago This is the unvaried tale whioh reaches us here from all the battle fields—that is, whon the story is told by an impartial spectator. Tbo demoralized soldiery, who look upon monos libros (a right to plunder, or litoraily, “ free hands,”) os the best pay thatoan be given them, do not fail to plunder any town or village whioh has for a fow days held tho forces of an enemy. Ho sooner Is the enemy dislodged than they fall to saoking, and in this way allow their friends'to 1 get off and do tho same thing to some unprotected plooe suspected of having sympathies with the other side. The great bulk of all the warfare in tblp country is now carried on in this way, and has been so oondpoted fop about nine months. In a previous letter I gave you some figures concern ing the losses to oommeroe apd industry occasioned by this mode of warfare. That was ono month ago, and then the losses of this kind wero not less than $100,00,000. How £ can safely add twelvo to twenty millions' more. In foot, it is quite impos sible to oount the full cost, if I attempt to make any allojranoe for the distress ooonoioned to harm less and helpless families who have boon reduced to misery. On the withdrawal of Vidaurri from San Luts Potosi, that general ordered to be burned or de stroyed all the provisions, cattle, Ac., that be could not carry off, not only in that olty, but for twenty leagues around about It; at least sc It is reported by his own friends here, who repeat this story as a splendid specimen of military tnotios on the part of their heroic and strategic general. For my own part, I do not fully oredit the report. It seems Impossible that a man seeking popular favor could bo snob a monster. Ills plea, that by this aot he would starve out the troops of tbo Go vernment that wero in pursuit of him, would he an empty and unappreciated excuse to the thou sands thereby left destitute of tho means of exist ing. Nevertheless, he may have done all that his admiring friends olaira for him. In the State of Miohoaean several small (owns have been sacked, and one in tbe State of Mexieo even hes been givon up to plunder. At Ixtlahuaoa, near Tobuoa, a battle lately' took plaoe. The Government has olaimed It as a victory. The faot is quite different. The Federalists defeated the troops of tbe Government, and then, os tho plaoe had held an opponent, gave it up to sack and pil - lage, and several houses belonging to friends of the Government wero burned. The Federalists, in their secret talk here, soy that the people there were seized with the wildest enthusiasm for tho oauseof the Constitution, hut I learn from a gen tleman-who was a spectator that the enthusiasm consisted in this: The place wos givon up te the rabble , with the gritos—' 11 Viva la Übertad “ Viva la Constitution, gue viva, tye. ■ The stores were at onoo sacked, private houses plundered and burned, and the posados oleared of their stooks of oatilon and ohingent*- Tho people were drunk with excitement and liquor, and it was then they beseeohed tbe Federal officers to let thorn follow the banner of the Constitution. “The old women Innooently irquirod when there would be more limosna , (alms,) for they take all Buoh events as bountiful.

There have been several magnificent battles In different parts, In most of which the Government has lost, so that if Vidnarri-bas been defeated, it only precipitates matters to the general or rather universal anarohy to whioh wo are coming. • I Effect of the Chinese Tbeaty on Cali fornia.—Tha San Francisco ZW/«i)i,iu alludin'. to the lata treaty with 'China, says: “ These ovents will doubtless have a great, influence on tho fhrfnhea of California, and particularly of San Franoisco. An immense augmentation of the commerce between the .United States, England, and France and the Chinese Empire, mast almost immediately follow. San Francisco Is tho only important port on the Pacifio to reap the advan tage of Ibis trade. China is our vts a-eitf—Pekin, her capital, being almost in the same parallel of latitude. The commerce of China must fall to the lap of San Franoisco; and it takeß nogreat stretch of imagination to foresee the day when we shall have our regular lines of steamers traversing the Pacific from San Franoisco to Hong Kong and Shanghae, .and our Pacific telegraph/ stretching under the ooean, to Japan ana Chinn. With a railroad across the Amerioan continent, our Chi nese trade would immediately assume gigantic proportions; therefore, the opening of China to the commerce of the world will impart a new im petus to the building of that great work. ,It ren ders suoh a railroad more absolutely necessary, and makes Its success as a paying investment more certain. ... „ * •. A “But there is another manner in which this modi fication of onr Chinese relations will affeot Cali fornia. If the law passed by the' last Legislature is not (according to the opinion of Mr' HaJl MoAl lister) unconstitutional and void, it most certainly be deolared antagonistic to the international treaty just signed between China and the United States, and fall. There will then be nothing to proteot ns on this coast from an inundation of Onioese, and our Slate will possess no power to" pais any prohibitory law with such an end. Tho opening of that empire to European trade and visitation will qniokly have the effect of stimulating and ex tending the desire of emigrating from that densely orowdod oountry to America. California, lying opposite* must expect to reoeive the balk of these semi-barbarians Most of them must enter in at the Golden Gate, Have any of our politicians thought of this danger, or devised a method of di verting H?
