We begin to think that there is a prospect, after all, of the ttnion of the old democratic party and of a spirited, gallant fight at the fall elec tion. A proposition for preliminary Union con volitions to be held by both sections of the party at Home on the 15th of August, has mot. with more favor than we expected; and seems likely to prevail. In New York the two parties seem to have come to terms. They have issued an address and are about to establish a union paper.

Some of the Barnburner organs do not fall in witii this plan but if the rank and file of the party take it up and press it these paper will soon follow the current of events or be overwhelmed by its pressure. The two conventions which are recommended in August are for the purpose of testing the disposition of the two parties as to union. In other words, to see if they can agree and, if they can, to establish a a basis or ground upon which they can meet. We believe that there will be no difficulty xcopt in the obstinacy of certain would be leaders who Oveu Oki'iciousnkss. Last evenfng a party of ladies and gentlemen who had been enjoying the beauties of the evening hi a promanade stopped in front of the house of one of the party, for a few minutes, and whilst standing there, one of the company a ycung Lilly commenced dancing for the amusement of the i est, supposing that po one was in sight but their own party.

They were immediately accosted by a watchman in a rough, voice, with. "In the house will ye. if youse wants to and the rapping of his club, for assistance. The young immediately stopped, and company dispersed, fearful that walking the streets and amusing themselves in front of the house of one of their company, had got to be a henious crime and the watchousc might be their destination. The watchman continued wrapping for assistance, disturbing the whole neighborhood, till finally another appeared but not till these great (iisiurbers of the peace had all gune i their homes.

It is to be hoped the nerves of that gallant watch Arrival of Father Ittatlliow at last. The Ashburton, with Father Matthew an board, was telegraphed, last evening, off Sandy Hook, at half past four o'clock, and she reached the Quarantine, Staten Island, at sun down, when thcJjApos tle of Temperance went ashore with the doctor who came from the island to examine the passengers. He was accompanied by his secretary, Mr. O'Mera, and was received with the utmost enthusiasm by the people on shore. There was not a single case of malignant sickness on board nor any death, and the vessel was allowed to come on to the city, where she arrived at nine o'clock, and lay in the stream, opposite the Fulton Ferry, during the night.

We never saw in a packet ship a mere respecablc set of passengers, both steerage and cabin. The Ashburton was delayed by calms and light winds. The passage was otherwise favorable. Father Matthew enjoyed excellent health all the way, and his spirits were remarkably good. He was only sea sick for the first day or two.

He looks right well, though, when going on shore, he appeared a little nervous and excited no doubt the effect of the attack that some time since shook his nervous system. It is to be hoped that the sudden transition into this (to him) hot climate, and the excitement attendant upon his labors, will not have an injurious effect upon his health. He offered mass, and addressed the people, every Sunday during the voyage and on Sunday before last addressed the people on the subject of temperance, when he bowels of Ihosn hMlnas and corrupt nmors which no (ml piiralyzs and weaken' the dipeative organs, but arf thecHUKO ot woek nerves, low spirits, Wright's Indian Vendible 1'illsare alsn a dlrect purifior of the blnori and therefore not on impart ho'ilth and choetfulnes to tho ii ind. but also clvo now life and vienr to the body.

Je23 dtd n.JB WATT wujHjgi VO The city charter, prepared by a convention of thepdople without party nmchiiiery, was rejected through the influcuce of the office holders. We now riutfegin to see the motives wbich those nifcii to make such strenuous exertions against it. We were told at the time that they had no interest in the matter that a reform Common Council would be adopted that the fee system would be abolished and tliat the old charter "would prove more economical than the new. one. AVe assured the people that this was all humbug that the officers about the City Hall wtre only looking after the plunder and that no substantial reform could be secured till the people said in their charter, "thus far shalt thou go, and .10 farther." The result has fully answered our expectations.

The office holders have jiroved too strong for the Common Council and have been quietly installed in their places wiih the old fee system in force, by which they can plunder the city almost at will. It is true that the managers let us down easy and brought in a report in favor of an honest course but the report was laid on the table it was then taken up and sent to a special committee to compromise with the officers; then kept bac for weeks without action then, finally abandoned; and the old system continued. The fee system is au utter abomiuatiuu. The amounts plundered by the street commissioner, clerk, attorney, counsellor, Ac, by means of it, have never been accurately ascertained but, according to the best data that can be procured, are very large. When the subject of salaries Was firs broached, Alderman Hawkshurst presented, from data in his possession, some interesting glimpses of the workings of this system which, on reference to our notes, we find pretty fully set forth and we will now state them for the benefit of the reader.

Aid. Hawkshurst had a bill and receipt in his possossion from the street commissioner which, of course, was authority not to be disputed and from this standing point he went on to estimate the receipts of the street commissioner per anuum. His salary is G00. For a single sale of lots, Nov. 23, 1S48, Aid Hawkshurst estimated his receipts thus In this sale were 3 i parcels, for which he charges as expenses 5 00 on each and every parcel, but pays Si 15 for recording certificate thus leaving as fees in his bands So each or 1325 40 for the.

whole. He also pays 2 10 for advertising and charges S3, making saving in Sii parcels of 8309 00. The whole amount of the assessments returned unpaid in the sale was 85000 on which the fees amount, beside, to 1100. But this is not all there was another sale in April (April 1 2, M0) of GGS parcels, on which there would remain in the pockets of the Commissioner, according to he above estimate, on the expense account 2571 on the publishing account C01 20 and for fees $2283. This does not include the fees for searches which Aid.

Hawkshurst estimates at 84 per day or per annum. So that, ac cording to this estimate, the pay of the Street Commissioner for the past year stands about as follows Salary C00 00 Fees from sale of Xov. 23 1,100 00 Auction fess and pickings 1,033 00 Fee from sale of April 11 1.283 00 Auction fees and pickings 3,171 00 Fees for searches 1.200 00 9,9 SS 00 Aid. Hawkshurst "does not pretend that this statement is accurate but he gives it as an anprox. imation to die facts.

The reader will, at once, see what interest the street commissioner had in defeating the new city charter, and in having the old feo system preserved. But the fee system extends not only to the commissioner, but to the cleik, the counsellor, the attorney and some other minor officers. They all have princely incomes on this system of legalized plunder, while they appear on the record as drawing very modestly from the city treasury. During the convention canvass it was maintained that we were increassing the salaries of the city officers mid we were pointed to the record of last year in proof of it On turning to the record we found, sure enough, that the street commissioner was set down at SS00, the clerk at $700, the counsellor at SOU and the attorney at GOO. Ves, and our friend really believed that we were about to raise the salaries because the new charier turned the stream of fees into the treasury, stopped off the legalized plunder, and fixed respectable salaries to these officers.

It will be seen by the above statement tiiiit we could very well afford to compromise with our officers by giving them each, and then make a saving of 5 or 20 thousand. Canada. The Montreal Herald of Wednesday reiterates its threat of disunion with Grc.it Britain, in the event of a sanction by the British Parliament of the policy of Lord Elgin. At least, the only inference to be drawn from its language, is, that, if the Imperial Parliment sustains the existing Ministry in its now avowed determination to allow the "Rebel Indemity Act," the Province of Canada will submit tn the 'friendly 'embraces of the neighboring republic." Da. Coolidge.

A telegraphic despatch to the Boston papers from Portland, states 011 the authority of Dr. Mann, of Skowhegan, that the body buried there, as that of Dr. CooUdge (the murderer of Mathews, who was supposed to have committed suicide while in prison. May 17th) was disinterred a few days since, and examined in presence of BLxteen persons, including Mann himself and Coul idge's father, and they agreed that it was not his body. Coolidge's father testified, that his son had lost the end of one thumb and had no scar on his face, whereas the corpse had a scar on the cheek and both thumbs were whole.

Rumors to the effect that Dr. still living, have for sonic time been in circulation. General Bem. It is reported that General Bern, in consideration of his distinguished services lias received from the grateful Hungarian nation the grant of the domain of Alsouth. This princely estate which formerly belonged to the Palatine or Viceroy of Hungary, is situated in the fertile county of Stuhlweissanburg, and has always been considered one of the best managed and most productive estates in the kingdom.

It is worth about 200,000. The New York Tribune has dispatched an able to California who is to traverse the country and communicate constantly with that paper. Such a correspondent will give ns much valuable information in regard to the country. may wish to be placed in the front rank and reap all the advantages of the union but such persons should be kept out of the conventions of both parties. We trust that these union conventions may be held and that the two parties will come together with the dispositions proper to the occasion remembering only that they are brethren, holiliug a common faith and having a common interest.

The letter below has been published in both the Argus and Atlas and has called out a general response from the press of both sections Albany, June 20, 1840. Gentlemen As the representatives of the democratic organization in this State, the Democratic State Committee have called the usual convention for the nomination of candidates for State officers, to beheld at Syracuse, on the 5th day of September next. This convention, they fully believe, presents the true and right mode of nomination and action, and if carried out in a conciliator' spirit, and by the nomination of an acceptable ticket, would combine the strength and represent the wishes of the great body of the Democratic Party of the St ate. AVe are aware that there arc those who hold to a different organization, from that which your committee represents and also others of both organizations, who prefer by a common effort, to remove all ground of difference, through a preliminary union convention. In a sincere and earnest desire to unite the democratic masses in the support of one ticket, and one organization; with a view to secure to this state and to the country the benefit of the sound and saluta tary principles of the democratic party in the administration of public affairs; the Democratic State committee propose to your body, that both committees agree to recommend that one delegate from each organization be selected in each assembly district, to meet in separate bodies at Rome, on the fifteenth of August next, for he purpose of consultation, and devising means of union and, if it shall deemed expedient, to meet in joint convention and suggest names for a union ticket for state of iicers.

Brady, of New York, af ter noticing the abundance of the precious metal, speaks of the toil and hardships which must be un dergone to secure it, thus ''Any sober, industrious, prudent men, can, in mv judgment, realize atieast an ounce per day, besides his board and tins, 1 assure you, will not more than lr thn toil nnd privation he i r.p.

Tins labor would be more en durable, if, at the close of the day, he could enjoy the comforts of good food and rest but that is out of the question he must cook his own food or go without it. 'I have seen men living without any other food than ilour mixed with water, formed into a kind of dough and baked in the ashes. This kind of living forces them to the tavern, (and the diggings abound with them,) wher they pay from four to twelve shil lignsfor a glass of liquor.

The main body of the United states forces destined for Oregon, had at the last advices arrived at a point about three hundred miles from Fort Leavenworth and were all in good spirits and in excellent health. Having left the settlements so far beliind them, they were; at the time of writing, getting among the inhabitants of the western wilds; buffalo, deer, wolves, rattlesnakes, etc. At the rate the regiment were then travelling, they would probably reach their destination about the last of September.

The river San Joaquin, we understand, is naviga ble by steamers for a distance of sixty miles from from its mouth, viz to the mouth of the Stanislaus in the immediate vicinity of the gold mines. The Sacramento is navigable not only for sloops but for barks, as far as Sutter's Fort. About six miles from its mouth there is a bar, on which there is only six feet of water at low tide but it is supposed that this impediment can be easily removed. At the Maine State Convention Hon.
