The happy results of these provisions for the public welfare became immediately appa rent—instantly; indeed, because the confidence of security and snccess has the power, through the operation of a well-based credit, to antici pate lime.

Disunion Convention at Richmond, Va, [CorrMFondtnM of The Press j Richmond, V»,, Jane 9,1860. I reaohed this really lovely Southern olty wly this morning. It is situated on tbe left bank of James river, and at tbo head of tide-water, and Is aboat one hundred mties southwest of Washington, It is a favorite expression of the Virginians, in speak ing of their favorite city, to ssy that, like Rome, it is located on soven bills. Rlohmond oombines many elements of grandeur and variety. The river winds among verdant hills, whioh rise with graceful undulations, and whioh is interrupted by numerous Islands and granite rooks. The city Is laid out regularly in rec tangular blocks.. There are twelve parallel streets, eaoh nearly three miles In length. The C ap r ifol buildings are situated on Shookoo hill, the fash ionable quarter of the town, and a most delightful resort it is, particularly so at this luxuriant sea son of the year. The Capitol ie tho prominent fea ture of Richmond, standing as It does in tbe oentre 1 of a public square of some eight acres, and U adorned with a portico of lonic columns, and con tains the celebrated .marble statue of Washington, by Houdon, taken from life. The olty hall, cus tom house, penitentiary, armory, theatre, Masonio hallj orphan asylum, and market houses, all of them imposing, and some of them are splen did structures. There are. three banks, seven* teen newspapers, ef whioh six are dailies, thirty- churches, representing all denomina tions, and a number of pnblio institutions and colleges. Richmond Is growing very rapidly. It is eonneoted with the main railroad lines running North and South, and with Philadelphia and New York by semi-weekly lines of steamers. Its trade Is constantly improving. The ohief articles of ex port are tobeooo, wheat, and dour. The brand of the Riohmond flour has acquired great oelebrity. Tbe population Ss about 40,000, of whom one-half are white, and the remainder colored, and of these two thirds are slaves. The prinoipal hotel, the Richmond Exchange, is a msgnifioent concern, and admirably kept. There are other hotels, most of which are excellent. * The society of Riohmond is refined and intelli gent, The colored population will be out in full ioroe and finery to-morrow, Sunday, whieh is their ueuat g&ia-day. They take possession of the streets on the Babbath, and constitute a ourious spectacle to tbe stranger. There hu been any number of disunion meet ings in tbe Southern States, but this is, I believe, the first time that treason has been hatched in the Old Dominies. Call the Convention that is to meet here on Monday by whatever name yon please, It is nothiog else than a preparation to'overthrow the Colon of these States. If the objects of tbe lead ers can be accomplished sectionalism will become the rule, and slavery the only issue in party poli tics. If the doctrines of Mr. Yancey and Mr, Rhett are ever adopted by the Southern people, there is no hope of restoring fraternal relations between the two divisions of the country, and a break-up is inevitable. Think of R. Barnwell Rhett and W. Lowndes Yancey as the leaders of the Demooratio party! The former, while a Senator in Congress, was universally ed as the embodiment of the most fearful doc trines, and was universally denounced, notwith standing his fine abilities, by the Democratic party. The latter, though more conserva tive up to a later period, was yet too violent for his own people; and yet now, though careful to deny his hostility to the Union, is the organ of a movement which xonst end in disruption unless It is suddenly checked. There are many conserva tive men in the Bouth, and many here in Rioh mond. But the trouble in Virginia, and elsewhere, is in the iaot that these gen tlemen are endorsed by the fire-eaters. Many of the aspirants for offioe hesitate to grapple with them; and the faotions consequent upon this state of things make confusion worse. Demo crats like Governor Letcher are publioly averse to tho schemes of Yaneey and his associates, and a large and increasing party favors Mr. Douglas and his claims, I am not surprised to* hear that many of the prominent men in Richmond heartily disap prove the second edition of tho Hartford Conven tion, nor am I astonished that great local feeling prevails against them- These managers now profess a disposition to adjourn till the Baltimore Conven tion has concluded its action, when,*if they fail to intimidate that body, they will fall back upon Richmond, set up a full disunion tioket, and make a oanvass under the joint lead of Yancey and Rhett.

Somethin# may be done this week if the friends of the House bill will ad 'with united and decided front. Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts, has been re peatedly threatened since his last speech. One evenfnglestweekho was called upon in his room by a person Who attempted to intimidate him, unless he fatraoled partof Ms declarations lu the afore said speech. After that he waa advised that he would be insulted and beaten. I think Mr. Sumner's speech a most imprudent ene. But he ought to be protected in the expression of his honest opinions. Hehas thus far forborne to armhimseif, or in the slightest degree ter defend himself, but I shall not -be surprised if even his equanimity gives way before the threats of his foes, and if another bloody comment is famished to hla Senatorial argument, as was the case fofir years ago. Almost any otW man would have resisted suoh threats with deadly weapons. The assurance of the Southern seoeders from the Obarleston Convention is surpassing. Mr* Yancey is as complacent in his demands upon the Baltimore Convention, whioh is to assemble on the 18th, as if he had taken lessons from Dazzle himself. He is willing to attend the Baltimore Convention, with his 00-workers in' agitation, cl should the olive branch be extended to them by a rescinding of the whole platform pro. oeedinga.” This “proposal” made to him and hts associates, “theywill participate in forming a better platform and making a fit nomination.’' But if the Baltimore Convention shall refuse them this small favor, then Mr. Yancey Is for nomina ting a full ticket at Richmond, and for going bofore tbe people on his programme. He thinks that this movement will certainly prevent an' election by the and distinctly looks to the Senate, is the event of a failure of the House to elect, to give the South ft President fully up to the disunion standard.

LATEST NEWS By Telegraph to The Press. FBOK WASHINGTON. SPECIAL DESPATCHES fa f < THE PRESS.” WAStuxQTO.v, June 10,1860. HOJf* CHARLES BROWN, OP PHILADELPHIA, BE FORE THE COVODE COMMITTEE. ,Mr. Brown was before the Corode Committee on Saturday morning, when he 'was examined on the subject of the reported difficulties and negotia tions between Mr. Buchanan and his Administra tion and Mr. Forks?, in relation to tbe Post Offioe printing ■ Mr. Brown said that ail he knew of the matter, personally, end he did not suppose they wanted him to y > i■« vond Ibis, was derived from private conveneh/xi4 with the parties, whioh he would not deem himself authorised to make public anywhere, were they not in his opinion alike creditable to all the parties concerned, and calculated to remove what he believed to be erroneous impressions of a different character that had been made on the pqhUc mind. He said that some time In April or May, IB6f, he visited Washington as the intimate friend of Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Forney, to see if he could not reconcile the that had arisen between them. Th&t,st ms (Mivßfiown’b) request, he had a full, free, and friendly conversation with Mr. Buchanan on the subjeot. That the Pres!, dent expressed, and to his mind no doubt seri ously, his regret at the apparent alienation of Mr. Fornby, and his desire to restore and main tain the mostfriendly retatlons.with him, and spoke of what he had done and offered to fie for Mr- For nby. That be (Mr. Brown) told the President that 1 Mr. Fornby had not wanted any offioe of any kind, but simply to be restored to tbe situation he occu pied under Gen. Pibbcb's Administration—to bo the editor and proprietor of the National De mocratic organ at Washington, and to enjoy tbe benefits usually aooorded to that paper by the party. To this Mr. Buchanan, after remarking on the bitter contest tben going on in regard to the pub lio printing, expressed his determination to take no part in it in any way, nor in relation to tho Democratic newspapers there; but that be had no doubt if Mr. Foiinry would keep out of the contest for a few months, until it was settled, that he would obtain the situation he de sired, and in the meantime suggested bis ac ceptance of the Liverpool Consulate, which bad been offered to him, and whioh was an honora ble and profitable position. This, Mr. Brown saldj'he knew was out oi the question, and would not be accepted. It was then suggested, by whlob of them he could not say, whether by the Presi dent or himself, that Mr. Fornby might edit some newspaper until the public printing question was settled, and his Administration fairly estab lished. The President suggested tbe Tennsylva' nian y or if that oould not be obtained, that be should start a new Democratic paper at Philadelphia. To thlfMr. Brown replied that a Democratic pa per at Philadelphia oould not support Itself with out pnblio patronago; and then it was that the sug gestion, was made, either by the. President or him. i asff, he could not now recolieot which, that the Post Offioe blank printing might be given to him. The President, in speaking of this, remarked that his knowledge on the subjeot was very limited, both as to its value and the extent of Ms control over it > bnt that If he found it was nt his disposal, and would be of advantage to Mr. Fobnby, he would give it to him in preference to any other person. In all this conversation with the president, Mr. Brown said he was certain that Mr. Buchanan had no idea of the profits to be derived from this work, nor had he the least intention of doing aught but honestly to perform bis duty to the public, and assist Mr. Fornby in a proper enterprise* Of ail which Mr. Brown said he Informed Mr. Fornby on his return to Philadelphia. This, Mr- Brown said, was the only conversation he ever had with the President on the subject. The Press was started in August, and supported the measures of the Administration until some time in November, when a difference of opinion apparently arose be tween it and the Administration, in regard to Go vernor-WALKER’a eourse in Kansas. Mr. Brown said on his visits subsequently to Washington on hia own business, down to December 1857, or Janu ary 1858, the last time before Mr. Buchanan bad sent Into Congress his special message in rela tion to the Leoompton Constitution, he had bad acme conversation with Judge Black, Mr. Cobb, and other member*, or perhaps per sons connected with the Administration, from which It was apparent' to him that tbe Kansas question waa to be made a test by the Administra tion in regard to those who were to enjoy its confi dence and favor, and this, on hia return to Phila delphia, he told Mr. Forney, and warned him, if he pursued the course he was pursuing in rogard to the Kansas difficulties, &e need not expect any patronage of any kind for his paper from the Ad ministration. To this Mr. Forney replied that be had taken hia atand on the subject when he first started his paper, with tho full and expressed ap probation of the Administration, and that If they ohoso to change their position, he wonld not for all the patronage the Government had to bestow. That he believed his course was right in itself, and that be would have taken the same whether it waa approved by the Administration or not, and that nothing on earth should induce him te ohange it, until he waa convinced it waa wrong. Mr. Brown said, as he had had no notice of the subjects on whieh he was called before the com mittee to testify, he oould not pretend to aoouraoy as to date?, or the express words of the parlies, but could only Btate the impressions the facta bad left upon his mind, and that he desired to say most emphatically that in all his conversation with Mr. Buchanan and the members of his Cabinet, no thing had occurred that inducod Mm to boliev* they had any desire to Mr. Forney 1 ? Support by bestowing upon him patrqnego, npr by Mr. Fornby to oppose the measures of the istration because it had been withheld from him. Mr. Brown wae asked whether Mr. Buchanan didsot, in the interview to whioh he hod referred, state to him that If Mr. Fornby would accept the Liverpool consulate he would make his pay equal to his own.: Mr. Brown answered that he had no recollection of the President making suoh an offer. a.

SCR. STOUT, OP OREGON, ON THE TARIPP. Mr. Stout, Democratic member from Oregon, yoted for the Morrill Tariff bill in the House, and when thanked for his vote by a Pennsylvanian, said he gave it beoause Oregon was destined to be a great manufacturing Bute, and he looked to hie own people as well as to those of Pennsylvania. It is to be hopod that Stout’s vote is an index of Lanb’B on the same question. GREAT DROUGHT IN KANSAS.

Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, during the long twenty-five hours session on Wednesday and Thursday last, was thanked by a unanimous vote of the House, on motion of the gallant Col.

The House have already unseated Coopeb (Dem.J of the Detroit- district, Michigan, and gi ven Howard, (Rep ,) his place; Barret, (Dem.,) of Bt.

Ohtbuan, (Dem..) and farmer Representative from tho district, and Messrs. H. Winter Davis and J. Morrison Har ris, the American mombers from Baltimore, Mary land. The Republicans have managed this part of their programme with infinite tact. They have crowded the Americans to the last, in order to get their votes for their own cases, and it is said they intond to show their magnanimity to the Demo orats, by retaining D. B.

Four Bays Later from Europe. THE STEAMEB' 2TORTH BBITON OFF FA THEE FOIET Cotton Doll and Declining. CONSOLS Q5UO5§. Father Point, below Qaebeo, June 10.— The steamship North Briton, from Liverpool, with dates to Wednesday, the 30th ult., has passed here on hor WAy to Quebec. She also brings dates to tho 31st ult, by telegraph, via Queens town. The steamship.Tentonia arrived at Queenstown ou the 28th ult. with her machinery damaged. The steamers City of Washington and Bohe mian arrived at Qaecastown on tho 31st ult. The steamers Canada and City of Manchester arrived at Liverpool on the 28th ult. THE SICILIAN INBURhEOTION. The despatches from Sicily are very oontradio . ory. It is e&id that the popular rising in Palermo and the bombardment of that city was progressing, and that Garibaldi had entered it, or was hourly expected to do se. The Neapolitan despatobee, on the contrary, claim the defeat and flight of tm insurgents. The despatches repair l the assertion that Gen, Garibaldi had defeated Royal troops and en tered Palermo, but it Is not confirmed. Several Neapolitan vessels had arrived at Pa lermo. The Paris Patrie says that the insurrection was being organised to such an extent that its definite results were no longer doubtful The fall of Pa lermo was inevitable, and It was only a question of time. As soon as the insurgents become master of Palermo, Garibaldi will declare Sicily annexed to Italy. The latest despatches assort that everything was going on well for Garibaldi. The English and French residents at Palermo had embarked on board the steamers of their re. speetive nations. An attack by tho insurgenta was expected ever? moment. The Neapolitan general would defend the town. The insurgents atilT occupied the heights surround ing Palermo. A Neapolitan despatob, datod 20th ult., says the ioaurgents wore attacked and routed from tbeir strong position at Gasoo, which is now occupied by the Royal troop* The Insurgonta suffered heavy losses and were being pursued. Messina despatches, dated tbe 22d ult, state that order prev*)tod. but an outbreak would surely take place if Garibaldi proved successful in entering Palermoyof which no doubt was expressed. Ga ribaldi's forces would in that event be swelled to 40,000. The war cry of the insurgents is “no quar ter,/' and In tho returns of the engagements the column for the wounded ia not filled out. A Naples despatch of M*y 28th says the Sici lian* are leaving Garibaldi, who was beaten at Piana Many were killed and taken prisoners, end the fugitives were pursued beyond Corsone. The Sardinian Chambers Lave approved tbe ces sion of Savoy to Prance. Commercial Intelligence. LivKßrooLi May 29 —The sales of Cottnn fnr the past three days have been 13,000 hafes. icoludinx 3,500 bale# for speculation and export.

J ivsKrpop, May 29.—The market for broadetaff* olosetdnU. Provisions are quiet. London, May 29 nonyol* are quoted 95Noke, vindioating bis course at Charleston. Nearly ail theidelegatos from Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida, havp arrived here. There is a grpat diversity of opinion as to the course to be pursued, though nearly all agree on going to Baltimore, to contest the seats of the Douglas claimants before taking final action. The difficulty is whether they should resume their seats if granted them, unless the platform adopted at Charleston is rescinded. Tbe Louisiana delegates demand of tho Virginia delegation to pledge themselves to withdraw it the ceoeders are not Admitted to seats; it being con tended that if Virginia will pursue this oourse, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and part of Maryland, will follow suit, Caleb Gushing will resign and leave tho ohair. The position of the Now York delegates is also anxiously discussed. It Is contended by Borne who have boen to New York and sounded the delegates that they are ready to abandon Douglas, while others claim to bo equally well assurod that they are more firmly wedded to Douglas than over einoo the withdrawal of Mr Soymour, and that some of them expressed a determination to oppose the ad mission of any detog&tes who are accredited to the Riohmood Convention, on the ground that they are dlsorganizers and not National iiemoorata. Mr. Yancey will not arrive before to-morrow af ternoon, bis object being to take no part in the organization of the Convention. What oourse he will urge in the Convention to meet the views of the majority is not known yet. Both Mr. Rhett and Mr. Yancey bare been in favor of nominating, and having nothing to do with the Baltimore Con vention. The South Carolina delegates are not accredited to Baltimore, and will urge indepen dent action. The people of Richmond seem to take little In terest in the Convention. There are no oommittees of reception or arrangement, and no hall was en gaged for the ponvenlion until yesterday. But few, if ahy, outside visitors have been attracted here by the Convention from any of the States. A great effort will be made for harmony and united sentiment. The Convention will probably adjourn to await the action at Baltimore, and the delegates will immediately repair to Washington to consult as to the course to be pursued at B&U1- more. There is great feeling expressed against the Douglas. delegates from the Southern States who wIU claim seats at the Baltimore Convention. , 1860. HXFITH fiONURESS,-FIRST SESSIOS. U. B.

Despatches for Mexico* New* Orleans, June B—The United States steamer Pocahontas has sailed for Mexico, with Government despatches for Minister MoLane and the mails. THE CITY. The Japanese Embassy—Sabbath at the Continental —ln addition to opr report on the First Page, we may say that in consequence of tbe faot that the Sabbath is a day of rest, and that the Embassy were very muoh fatigued from their jouraeyiqgs, receptions, and parades of the last few days, ft was determined by the Naval Commis sion and the Committee of Councils that yesterday should be devoted to repose. From reasons that will be apparent, this deoision was especially grate ful to the members of the Embassy and those hav. iog them in oharge. As a consequence, the apart monte of the Eqteusy were strictly private-no visitors, other than those connected with the depu tation, were admitted. Tbe curiosity of our citi zens did not abate, and during the day there was a -crowd, to the number of two or three hundred per-" sons, assembled on tbe portico and steps of the Gl. rard House, and in the street in front of the Con tinental. Nothing of a disorderly nature occurred, although, as a very proper prudential move, anum ber of polloemen .were on hand to prevent any in trusion or improper demonstrations. The members of the Embassy amuse themselves in various manners. The artists were busily en gaged in sketching the Girard House, and such scenes on Chestnut and Ninth streets as seemed to please their fancy. Tho Prinoes remained retired, and did not venture beyond their parlors. Occa sionally one of the officials or lower membors Of tbe deputation would appear at a window, or on the balcony, much to the amusement or gratification of the crowd in front. We noticed during the day a'Chinaman, a reside nt of Philadelphia, among tb® spectators. He excited a great deal «of interest) from tho foot that many of the people took him for one of the Japanese. He, however, manifested as mnok interest In the movements of his felloe and more favored Mongolians of Japan as the Amort | cans. Some of the deputation were taken up to the roof of tfae building, where they had a good view of tho oityand its suburbs. The day was dear, th e prospect favorable, and they seemed-very much delighted at beholding the proportions of our mag* nifioont metropolis. One or two of them accepted on invitation to ride out In the city, in the morn ing. They were in close carriages, and were thus saved from any annoyance. We do nos know what arrangements are for to day. From prudential motives the doings of the Embassy are kept private from even the reporters of tho press. They do not care to invite a publicity, which, in the present state of feeling among onr citizens, would certainly subject our guests to an unintentional, though & no less disagreeable, annoyanoe. We have no doubt, however, that everything will be done by the proprietors of the hotel and the represents* tlvcs of Council, to render the stay of these gentle men among us of the moat pleasant character, so 1 that when they leave us they will carry away , nothing bat tbe most agreeable reoelleoiions of Philadelphia and its people. Present to tub Japanese.—The ert terprisingproprietorsof Messrs. L. Johnson A Co.’s Type #nd Stereotype Foundry (which, by tbe way, is one of tbe oldest and most extensive establish ments of the kind in Amerios, and probably as oomplete a! any in the world) bare prepared a splendid box for presentation to tbe Japanese Am bassadors, who, it is we believe understood, are to visit tbeir foundry to-day. Through tbe courtesy of these gentlemen, we were favored with an ad vance glimpse at this elegant present, on Saturday morning. The box, which may be said to contain a stereotype and electrotype foundry in miniature, Is of massive walnut, and is surrounded by an ele gant silver tablet bearing the following inscription : “ Presented to thb Japanese Embassy sr L. Johnson A Company, Fhidadblphia m The contents of the box embraoc, in surprising minutia, the wonderful perfection to which this department of our moohanio Arts has attained. In ono department of it Is a great variety of the print ing types manufactured by this firm, consisting of Greek, Hebrew, Script, German, and Music char aoters, as well as ornamental type and borders, and Roman type of all descriptions and sizes. There is also in it a page of type representing President Buchanan’s reply to the Ambassadors, with stereo, type'and electrotype plates of tbe same, together with an assortment of beautiful oleotrotyped outs; also a wood-out of J. 8., tbe Anierioao Tycoon. There arc also contained in the box a casting mould, and punches and matrices, representing the ohlef members of the Embassy; in their proper charao* tors, the mode of using which will bo praotioally illustrated to the visitors. The crowning beauty of this noble and appropri ato gift, however, Js a oopy of L. Johnson Jk Co.’s Book of Specimens, (which may be regarded as a standard odltion of the world's progress in the printing art,) bound in the most gorgeous and sub stantial manner by Messrs. J. B. Lipplnoott & Co., of this oity. The centre of the iront panel also bears a presentation inscription, in gold let ters ; whilst in the back panel is worked, in colors, the Amerioan and Japanese flags snrmountod by tbe Banner of Peace, and the Amerioan Eagle. The edges are elaborately embossed in the Mosaic taste, tbe execution of which required about 15,0 DD separate impressions. The entire getting up of this affair reflects great credit upon the donors, and we heartily oongratu* lftto Messrs. Mookellar and J, F. dßiobard Smith, on this triumph of skill ana enterprise. for wo un derstand the whole has been achieved within a week! Wo also learn that tho enterprising publish ing house of Messrs. J. B. Lippinoott & Co. in tend to present to tbe Embassy a copy of their Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, and their Gazet teer of the World, splendidly bound. Fudden Dbath.—On Saturday afternoon, Wta. G.

Greenfield, Johnson, Carney, Wells, Alien, and MoGlttiogen, was contested, tbe coart quashed the petition, and so ended the case. The contest for School Directors of the Twelfth ward was taken up, and after hearing the evidence which was introduced to set aside the election of Bernard Sprankand Robert Wilson, the court or dered tbe ballot-boxes of the Fifth division of the , ward to be brought into eourt to-day for a recount. The oase of the Surveyor in the Tenth district, (Twenty-third ward) was t&An up. The contest ant is Mr. Foulkrod, the Democratic candidate, and the allegation was that tickets headed “for , Surveyor and Regulator” were received by the , eleotion officers, when the proper beading should ! havebeen ‘for Ward Officers.” The court seemed to think that the point vu not well taken, as the Tenth distriot was made up of portions of two 1 wards, and the candidate was not in the correot sense of the term a ward officer. The Strawberry Festival at Media.- Tho strawberry festival, which was held at Medio, on the 7 th Instant, for the purpose of liquidating the Indebtedness of Christ Chureh, at that place, of whloh we gave notice at the time, we are happy to state proved to be a meet oomplstesuvcess.
