The Union discussing the latest nows from Kansas, says: ; Pe I * ing to know from the a Pi ti coe ou closin scenes’? at Law marked with the violence and ener the pleat anticipated afew woeks and su uently so generally reported. The flight of Robineon, Reeder, and the other leading spirits of the Topeka movement, the convenient absence of Col. Lane, the inter- venivg two thousand miles between the New England Emigrant Aid Society and its miser- able dupes in Kansas, and the unmistakable determination of the federal and territorial officers to vindicate and maintain the laws ‘at all hazard,” it would appear, have robbed abolition assumption of martyrdom of all its attractive features, and have induced the fa- natics of Lawrence prudently and properly to consult their personal safety in preference to the traitorous political designs of their eastern employers. If the Topeka party were pos- sessed of as much unreflecting courage as they manifested of insolent boustings; if, as they pretended, they outnumbered the loyal, law- ing citizens as four to one, scenes would now be enacting in the Territory of Kansas which all true patriots would shudder to contemplate. As the facts are now pre- sented to us, it would seem that the “civil war” so confidently predicted, and so ardent- ly wished for, aad even prayed for, by the black republicans, (at a distance,) scarcely rises to the dignity of mob-violence, and that Marshal Donaldson, in the disch of his official duties, has in the end met even a less amount of opposition than many of our railroad contractors have experienced at the hands of their laborers during the prevalence of a ‘ strike.’’ ‘*Wedo not mention this in a spirit of de- rision, for our gratification at the changed condition of public affairs and public senti- ment in Kansas is so great that we are not dis- posed to dwell on the past when there is so much of promise in the future. It is true that the feeble resistance of the people of Law- rence to the law and its sworn officers may be cited as evidence of an absence on their part of any real hostility to the federal and terri terial governments; but, when we compare their traitorous language with their subse- uent acts, it is not uncharitable to infer that they failed to carry out their wicked de- signs, not from any returning love for the Union and the constitution, not from any re- turning sense of duty as loyal and law-obey- ing cil , but from the want of numbers and the want of that blind courage which has so frequently led political and religious fana- ties to sacrifice their lives-”” The Intelligencer briefly announces the fact of the dismissal of Mr. Crampton. WASHINGION NEWS AND GOxsIF Mr. Crampton.—This gentleman was yes- terday duly served with notice that the Gov- ernment of the United States could no longer hold official intercourse with him as the rep- resentative of Her Brittanic Majesty’s Gov- ernment, and his passports were tendered to him. At the same time the exequaturs of the three offending British Consuls were re- voked. The delay in this action since Lord Clarendon’s last dispatch was received, was probably occasioned by the desire of this Gov- ernment to have the announcement of its ac- tion in the case made to the British Govern- ment through Mr. Minister Dallas, to whom Official information of the intention of the authorities was doubtless sent in timo to go out to London by the British steamer that left New York yesterday morning; while, we pre- sume, Mr. Crampton received his notification immediately after the steamer’s sailing. Vari- ous speculations are afloat with reference to the manner in which the British Government will receive this intelligence. Many imagine that the reply will be the instant dismissal of Mr. Dallas. We see no reason to adopt that opinion. The reply of Secretary Marcy to Lord Clar- endon’s last despatch, is understood to show that no necessity bas rested on the President of the United States to rely on the testimony of the witnesses for the prosecution—towhose eredibility Lord Clarendon demurred, it will be recollected—in view of the fact that Mr. Crampton’s own letters proved every thing alleged against him in the enlistment affair; qend thus placed him in a position making it imperatively necessary that the American Executive should terminate his diplomatic career in the United States, Britain having declined to do so on the request to that end long since made. Having made that request, (as was proper before assuming to do what was yesterday done,) international courtesy required that final action in Mr. Crampton’s case should be delayed until the British Government returned a definite reply to it, which only came in Lord Clarendon’s last dispatch. This satisfacto- rily accounts for the delay in the case since the termination of the Hertz trial. It is understood that Mr. Marcy’s despatch, which has just gone out, embraces every as- Sarance of the desire of this Government to maintain and cultivate friendly relations with Britain. Violence at the Polls. ~—Though our in- digenous “Angel Gabriel’’ is doing his best on the stump to superinduce the occurrence of riots and the invasion of the rights of those op- posed to his side on Monday next, and though our gentle, talented, truthful and ingenuous neighbor is spluttering blood and thunder in the way of threatening to have anti-Know Nothings mobbed at the polls, and otherwise invoking its peculiar coterie to break the peace and play over the Louisville affair on the day of the election, (for such is the sub- stance of the threats in its issue of yesterday,) we apprehend no disturbance; its late chief reliance for carrying out its system in such cases (its ‘‘Mossrs ’ Washington Nailor, Ray, Crogin & Co.) being otherwise engaged in its Present emergency, and the facilities for the reception of votes here being so greatly in- creased as to take away all pretence for reces- sity for jostling, undue crowding, &c. It is the duty of the Mayor to protect his political opponents in the exercise of all their rights on Monday next. His Police force, in all its branches, are, to, man, affiliated with the Know Nothings; and unices he makes it his business to charge them *pecially to dig. charge their duty fairly, some of them will do as some of them did at our last municipal election, viz: use their authority to create disturbances at the polls, and to aid and abet rowdies in maltreating adopted citizens, and deterring the aged and peacefully inclined from venturing to Persevore until they man- aged to deposit their ballots. If the Mayor will do his duty between now and Monday neat, we see no rearon to anticipate that the police will fail to do their duty on that day. The eycs of his fellow-citizens, opposed to him in Politics, re upon him, and they look to him to ineure the preservation of the Peace by his measures; which are the more necessary, now that the Rev F. S. Evans, that “‘ man of God,”’ is making, what he calls speeches, which are likely to incite rowdies to violence, almost nightly, from the stump, and our gentle and talented neighbor is virtually beseeching its coterie to try the virtue of club law at the polls. The Delegates —While other delegates to the Cincinnati Convention—those from distant States principally—are dropping in*upon us in Washington by each succeeding rail car and steamboat arrival, many of those who have been here during the past week are now in Cincinnati, or journeying thither as fast as the iron horse can carry them. We havo to re- peat the remark made a few days since, that we have seen or heard nothing in the course of conversation with a large number of them to shake the impression that a capital spirit exists among them. They go to Cincinnati determined to make a nomination that shall emphatically illustrate the principles and views of the democracy upon the living issues of the day between the Democratic party and all wings or factions standing opposed to it. The Best Route from this region of country to Cincinnati is, decidedly, by way of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Wheeling; and thence by the Ohio Central and Little Miami railroads (via Zanesville and Columbus) to Cincinnati. The time required by this route is but 294 hours, at most, between Wash- ington and Cincinnati; considerably less than by any other route whatever, with fower changes and chances of detention. The fare for the round trip ticket—tbere and back—has been reduced to sixteen dollars. We advise all who propose visiting Cincinnati on this oc- casion to be sure to take the route we indicate above, if economy, speed, certainty and com. fort ke desirable objects with them. Spurious Tickets —Ouranti-Know Nothing friends must be on their guard on Monday next against the repetition of the spurious-ticket fraud perpetrated upon them at the last Wash- ington municipal election. We have already heard of the printing of large numbers of such tickets, which will be offered to the unwary, doubtless. The proper way to guard against depositing a ballot shch as the voter does not desire to give in, is for each voter to procure his ticket from a reliable man on the day be- fore the election, if possible. If he cannot do that, let him be sure to read the ticket he in- tends to vote, carefully, name by name, and to take it only from the regular vote distrib- utor of his party. . The Convention.—We leave Washington this afternoon for Cincinnati, in order to keep the Star’s readers informed daily of what may really be done there in the couree of the next week. We therefore invite cur fellow citizens of all parties to keep a look out for each afternoon’s iseue of the Star, if they de- sire to see behind the curtain daily, while the eventful and important drama is being en- acted. We expect to reach Cincinnati to- morrow night, and to write so as that our first letter from that city may appear in the Scar of Monday next. A Mistake.—“ Ion,”’ of the Baltimore Sun, this morning gives credence to the bogus story that the President has withheld action on bills presented to him by Congress for hie sig- nature, for effect on the Cincinnati Conven- tion. The truth is, but three bills have sent to him since the 13th inst , which have duly received his signature. Will ‘ Ion,’’ correct the wrong impression his paragraph may otherwise mako. The vetoed bills we find, on inquiry at the Capitol, were sent to the Executive mansion prior to the 14th inst. Appointed and Confirmed.—Alvin P. Ho- ney, Esq., of Mount Vernon, Posey County, Indiana, has been appointed and confirmed to be the United States Attorney for the dis- trict of Indiana, vice Benj. M. Thomas, re- signed. John O'Neal, E:q , of Cincinnati, has aleo been appointed and confirmed to be the United States Attorney for the southern district of Ohio, vice Hugh J. Jowett, resigned. The Expected Executive Message—tran:- mitted to Congrees, giving the reasons for dis- missing the British Minister, yesterday, em- braced in Secretary Marcy’s reply to Lord Clarendon, was received this morning in both Houses of Congress, but was not read ere we went to press. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On yeterday, the 28th of May, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks. see $73,402 47 For the Treasury Department... 6,955 05 For the Interior Department.. 99,019 46 War warrants received and 66,191 10 From Customs.. + 5,759 64 From Land eee 4,372 55 CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the special order, the further copsidera- tion of the vetoed Internal Improvement bills Was again taken up, and the positions of the vetoes thereapon sustained in speeches by Mr. Mason ; and then, after a few remarks from Messrs Butler and Bell, they adjourned—Mr. Cass being entitled to the floor for the next epeech on the subject. In the House, Mr. Bennett repofted from the Public Lands Committee the bill granting lands to the State of Louisiana, in aid of the construction of certain railroads therein named ; which was =f passed—yeas 62, nays 58—ere a adjourned. after strenuous oppo- sition to it had been made by Messrs. Jones of — Letcher, Sage, Craige, and Proceedings of Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, ere we went to press, the bills granting lands to the States of Wis- consin, Michigan, Louisiana, and Alabama, in aid of the construction of certain railroads named in each of the said four bills, were assed The St. Louis and Iron mountain railroad bill_was then taken taken up, and debated by Mr. Fitzpatrick against it, and others. The message embracing the reply of Secre- tary ma to Lord Clarendon’s demain: and the official notice to Congress of the dismissal of Mr. Crampton, was received, and was laid aside tempurarily without being read. In the House, Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, re- Ported, from the select committee on the Brooks and Sumner affair, a resolution au thorizing the said committee to present their report or reports, with the journal of their way be in ya Big time when the House laid on the §; er’ resolution unanimousig and =iece , Mr. Bennett, of New York, reported back from the Public Lai ommittee the Senate bill authoriszin; resident to cause the land cffice at Vincennes, Indiana, to be closed after the time fixed by existing law for closin, it, if, in his judgment, it becomes Necessary go t» ¢o for the public interest. Mr. B. baving moved to putit on val se renton, - age, it was debated by Messrs. B: burn of Wisconsin, Scott, and Sandidge for it, and Letcher against it, ere we went to press. During th@e proceedings, an executive mes- sago was received and laid on the table with- out being read. oS ae ABRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. New Yorx, May 23.—The Cunard steamer Africa arrived hero this evening with Liver- pool dates to the 17th inst. The weather has been more genial and fa- vorable for agricultural purposes. The general news is unimportant. Parlia- ment was not in session. Politics are quiet, and Central American affairs had produced no excitement. The English journalsin government interests explain Lord Clarendon's lctter respecting 2,000 rifles furnished Costa Rica. The British overnment have quantities of old muskets ‘or sale, and would bo glad to meet with other customers besides the Costa Ricans. The sittings of the Crimean board of en- uiry are within a day or two of a termina- jon. A pension of £5,000 has been granted to Marquis Dalbonsi by the East India Company, on the ground that he annoxed four kingdoms to their territory. Great outcry against Lord Palmerston has been made on account of his having prohibit- ed the Playing of military bands in the parks on Sundays. The trial of Palmer, the alleged poisoner, is progressing in London, and attracting much attention. Most of the eminent mombers of the English bar are employed on both sides. A congress of Reformers of all nations has been heldin London. Robert Owen presided, and petitions to Parliament and memorials to the Queen were adopted. The Empress of France mado her appear- ance in public for the first time since her con- finement, on the 11th, and was cordially re- ceived. General Failay is to succeed General Can- robert. Ho is an aid-de-camp of the Emperor. The represent: i: have officially notified the Germanic Diet of the restoration of peace. The Sardinian Senate have passed resolu tions unanimously endorsing the policy of the Government. Ex-President Manni, of Venice, has pub- lished a letter on Sardinia and Italian affairs, generally extolling the attitude of Sardinia in regard to Austria and the Popo. The Constantinople correspcndent of the London Times, in reference to the treaty bo- tween the United States and Persia, says that it was concluded under the auspices of the Russian Mission, and its spirit is directed against England It pretends to be a com- mercial treaty, and would be so but for three articles The first of these says that Persia not being a maritime natton, America will be obliged, for the advantages which the treaty grants to her commerce, to have a fleet in the Persian Gulf with an order to defend Persia against the enterprise of whatever maritime nation should attack her. The second gives America the right to have ships-of-war in the Arab mouth of the Tigris. The third allows them to have a factory at Skurnah. The London Times” Crimean correspondent sets down the Rusian lossesin and around Sebastopol at 86,000 men. while 100,000 mea perished of fatigue and disease. It says they would not have been able to sustain them- selves many days longer had not peace been declared. Syria continues in a vory unsatisfactory state. Lord Stratford de Redeliffe has applied for and obtained leave of absence. The London papers infer that he has been recalled. Hostilities have recommenced between the Russians and Circassians. The barra>ks at Davod, near Constantino- ple, had accidentally burned down. THE MARKETS. Liverroor, May 16.—Being a holiday week only a moderate business has been doing.

We understand that our citizens are antici- pating arich literary treat on next Monday evening. The gifted Rev. William J. Hoge, of Baltimore, has consented to deliver a lec- ture in the Bridge street Presbyterian Church on the subject of ‘Religion and Liberty in Danger from False Philosophy.’ The object of these lectures is to raise funds to assist in erecting @ mission church in the upper part of Montgomery County, Maryland. Mr. H is one of the most interesting speakers we have ever had the pleasure of hearing. His lecture will doubtless draw a crowded audi- tory. * most disgraceful fracas occurred a few nent tince in the neighborhood of the corner of Third and High streets. The captain of the night watch, with his assistants, soon bore down upon the offenders. At first they at- tempted resistance, but ono of the ring-leaders having been fired upon, and slightly injured, by one of the watch, the balance soon came to the wise corclusion that ‘ discretion was the better part of valor.’’ Two of the princi- pals was arrested and taken before Justice Reaver, who committed them to jail. Weun- derstand that these disturbances have been of very frequent cccurrence at this point, so much so that some of the neighbors have been seriously contemplating taking tho law into ibd own hands for the purpose of breaking it up. The Methodist Sabbath schools presented a lovely scene as they marched through our streets this morning, with banners and music, ex route to Washington to join the general celebration. The line of procession numbered at least four hundred. Brom the square they were taken to the general meeting place, La- fayette equare, in the Union line cmnibusses We would advise all those who may wish to indulge in the most delicious of all summer luxuries, to visit L. Arny’s Bridge street fash- ionable confectionery establishment and ice cream saloon. We have heard tho wish very generally ex- pressed by our citizens, that nothing might occur to cause the removal of Mr. Crampton, the English Minister, from among us, abso- lutely necessary. Mr. C ’s course, as a gen- tleman, has been such since he has been a resident of our city, as to gain him many warm personal friends emong us Sprcraror. Stata or Dgsenet.—Advices from Salt Lake to the 26th of March have been received. The Convention for forming a State Constitu- tion met on the 24th, when the committee re- simp unanimously a Constitution for the State of Deseret. It is exceedingly brief and plain; contains nothing about slavery, but an- nounces free toleration of all religions. A memorial was adopted by the convention ask- ing admission into the Taicn, and two dele- gates were appointed to present it to Congress. Lieut Jenows Bonaparte —Lieut. Bona- arte, formerly of the Army of the United tates, late of the Crimean Army, wherehe distinguished himself by his bravery and modesty, has just been attached to the Chas- seurs d’ Afrique, of the French Army, and will form a part of the expedition to Kabylie.

ALEXANDRIA, May 29, 1856. As the summer approaches it becomes of the first importance to rid our city of every thing that might tend to endanger public health. Wo do butthe merest justice in ing that the city officers have shown every position todo their whole duty in this matter ; and should sickness come with the heat, they, at least, will be free from blame. We regret tohear that individuals sometimes evince a disposition to shirk the requirements of duty and the law in this matter; and we desire to press on public attention the paramount im- portance of giving every possible aid to the municipal government in executing the laws upon the subject ‘* An ounce of prevention ig worth a pound of cure ;’’ and we know that a little thought is all that is necessary to se- cure the attention to this matter of every man interested in the public weal. The circuit court yet continues in session, and day by day clears off the cases on the civil docket. RE. Scott of Fauquier, Hon H. W. Davis of Baltimore, and Samuel Chilton of Washington, are among the attorneys engaged in gauses on trial this term. Last night, an interesting meeting in aid of colonization cause, took place at the Lyceum Hall, and most excellent addresses were de- livered by Rey. Byron Sunderland and others, in support of the object of the meeting. The clection has passed over, but lefta sting behind in the shape of a lasting quarrel between two influential gentlemen that, for many # day, will be the source of a bitter feud in tho American party ranks. Several editorials im tho Alexandria Gazette lately, are regarded here by the politically weather-wise as indicating a change of the wind, and the coming on of Whig weather be- fore long. The Democracy are preparing for the cam- paign. On Tuesday evening last a meeting preparatory to organization was he!d, and it was agreed to request the Democrats of the city and county to mect at the Lyceum Hall on next Friday evening, for the purpose of organizing a Democratic association. Alarms of fire have grove quite frequent of late, but proceeding from petty causes they have done little damage beyon running the city half mad with noise for an hour or two.
