The Intelligencer republishes certain State papers bearing on our relations with Britain recently communicated to Parliament, and, in so doing, takes occasion to say— “The British Ministry laid before Parlia- ment on the 26th ultimo various additional papers and despatches in regard to British and erican affairs; amongst them Secret Marcy’s despatch communicating the fact of the dismissal of the Minister and Consuls of England, # letter from Mr. Crampton to the Eari of Clarendon, dated London, June 19, and Lord Clarendon’s reply to Mr. Marcy. This last-named despatch we now insert from the English papers. It will be read with leasure in his country—notwithstanding the increased regret it will inspire that the rea- sons were unavailing which are vo respectfully but cogently submitted in opposition to the inexorable course adopted by our Government in the expulsion of the British Minister—be- cause in tone and manner it copies so well the excellent temper and conciliatory spirit of Mr. Marcy's justifactory despatch as to carry within itself an assuaging leniative for any remaining irritation which the transaction might have created. We place this style of conducting national controversies among the cardinal virtues of statesmen, and we think our Secretary of State has done honor to the Administration of which he is a member by the propriety which has distinguished him in this important path of official duty.” With reference to the closing scenes (oceur- Texces) of the Herbert trial, the Intelligencer Bays: “‘ The case of the Hon. Philemon T. Herbert was Fok to the jury on Saturday afternoon. _“ The argument of Mr. Brewer, the asso- ciate in the case with the District Attorney, having been continued and concluded on Sat- urday morning, was followed by the address of Mr. Percy Walker, which occupied about two hours in the delivery, and was distin- guished by much ingenuity, ability, and elo- quence. Mr. Bradley followed on the same side in an argumentative speech, directed ebiefly to the details of the testimony and a comparison of the credibility of witnesses for the respective sides. This occupied about an hourand aquarter. Mr. Key, as by his right, closed the pleadings His address was not excelled by avy that kad preceded him in closeness of analysis, force of deduction, or immiuency of conclusion, and towards its close kept the learned counsel on the other side very much on the gui vive with exceptions, interposals, and explanations, showing the se- verity of the process through which the Dis- trict Attorney was putting their theory of the ease. The ability of Mr. Key’s effort, des- pite his admitted personal friendship for the Prisoner and the pain of bis position thus arisibg, was such as to impose on the defence the necessity of —- @ set of instructions from the Coart to the ury, which the Judge Without hesitation accep’ 7, and which we now append. These instructions, we have Feasen to believe, would not have paseed without question by the District Attorney had the hour not been so late, and his physical strength lecs exhausted than it was by the strenuousness of his exertions, the beat of the room, and the tedium of the long trial.”” The instructions referred to will be tound in our local columns. The Unton shows that the last hope of the Republicans—of being able to make even the semblance of a contest in November—rests upon the success of their purpose of defeating the Senate Kansas pacification bill, and ex- poses the weakness of their plea against it be- cause some of the abolitionists of the Terri- tory are now in prisen, and others fugitives from justice, and therefore cannot participate in the voting to take place under the bill, by showing that they are so situated on account of having perpetrated murders, arsons, rob- beries, Sc., which all civilized societies alike condemn and punish, and not for violating the famous black code of the Territorial Legisla- ture. The Unton also says, with great foree, if facetiousness : “A Bowpux or Mrstertes.—It isa mystery where Col. Fremont was born; how he was educated, whether for a Catholic priest or Protestant clergyman; whether he is now a Catholic or Protestant ; whether heis the Teal conqueror of California or only a pretender ; whether he is the greatest adventurer and ex- lorer ef the Rocky mountains, or whether it Carsone ig not entitled to that honor; whether he is more Know Nothing than Black Republican, or whether he is either ; whether be is the richest man in the world, or whether Mariposa is worth anything; whether he is the real candidate for the Presidency, or whether it is not in fact ‘Jessie’ Itisa mys- tery how he was ever thought of or nominated for the presidency, and equally a mystery how any sensi man can think that he has any chance for an election ”’ ro Boox Noticz.—From Joe Shillington we have “The Martin’s of Cro’ Martin,” by Charles Lever, published by the Harper's. From a cursory glance it appears to be distin- guished by much of the dash and brilliancy to be anticipated in anything from the pen of the author of “Charles O’Malley.”” We will read it and “report progress.” an Se ae Eerer = PERSONAL. see~ Mrs. Lucy Stone-Bl, up ber residence at jeg rarer oa +++» Mrs. Lucy Smith, th prophet Joe, died recently. greg ee +++» The Minister of the Neth, i a visit to the Consul-General of wp pate hen at bis residence, Henry street, Brooklyn,N Y. «it was not Mrs. Caroline H.

" ifornia bondholders, whose money, held by his house in most sacred trust, had been spir- ited away, the Day Book alleges. This is bad financiering all around, bearing out the revelations of the late James King of William, which were supposed to have had much to do with originating the conspiracy ending in his murder by the hand of Casey. Hon. Warren Winslow.— During the de- bate upon the subject now before the House of Representatives (the Sumner affair) the Hon. Warren Winslow made an able argument de- nying constitutional power in the premises. This, we believe, was his first oratorical effort in the House, of which he is an efficient and deservedly esteemed member. In ‘the com- mencement of his remarks, he spoke calmly and eloquently of the agitation now existing in the country, and, in a spirit of fervor, point- ed out the duty of every lover of not a mere section, but of the entire, our common coun- try. His language was chaste, and flowed with grace and earnestness from the lips of this statesman from the ‘Old North (Carolina) Btate.” His voice and manner were in entire accordance with the language in which his high-toned sentiments were expressed. He commanded the attention of all the members Present; a compliment which the auditors at the Capitol especially—considering the ‘‘noise and confusion’’ which usually prevail—can- not fail to appreciate. leave to offer a substitute for the original res- WASHINGION REWS AND GossiP. olution ; ruled out of order The call for the previous question was then reconsidered by the House, and the main question was ordered. Mr. Edmundson, by leave, then addressed the House in explanation of his all ¢@on- nection with the asssult of Mr. Brooks upon Mr. Sumner, in which he was engaged as the Star went to press. The Course of the Missourians.—The Re- publican party press are just now furious over the very proper manner in which the people of Missouri are treating all armed bands es- saying to pass through their State on their way to participate in the civil war in Kansas. That way ie, simply, disarming them. With- in the last month, while no such bands have essayed to go into the Territory from the South, the military anthorities of the United States there having in obedience to the President’s proclamation disarmed and dispersed all such bands of both parties falling in thtir way; and the people of the South having refrained from efforts to go there under these circumstances to take the side of their friends in their present need. Not so with those of the North, however, Chicago, Worcester, Massachusetts, and a re- gion of Illinois, have each subsequently sent thither companies of loafing fellows incapable of earning a decent livelibood at home, or of raising the means of paying for their own transportation thither. They sent them out with blessed Sharpe’s rifles in their hands, prayed over, bragged over, and huzsaed over, as usual. The avowed purpose of sending them was that they might aid the abolition- ists of the Territory in resisting the law and plundering, burning and murdering. That those who sent them thither on such an er- rand should dream that the citizens of Mis- souri would permit them to pass over their State in the present condition of the Terri- tory, is only evidence of the stark madness of the anti-slaveryites. No armed bands tray- eling for any purpose whatever in such times have a legal right to pass over the territory of Missouri without the consent of its authori- ties. The proclamation of the President makes it morally the duty of Missouri to take due care that no companies go from or through her ter- ritory to participate in the existing civil war. To us the wonder is, that the Missourians have been able so to restrain themselves as to do no personal injury to the members of the three companies of abolition recruits they have stopped on their way to the Territory: whose Beecher-blessed rifles and revolvers have been taken away from them, to be re- stored at atime and place agreed on, so ar- ranged as to make it certain that if they choose to persevere in the effort to go to Kan- sas to fight rather than to till the soil or trans- act other peaceful business there, they must take another route. All who desire to go through Missouri, whether from North or South, and who go unarmed and with the signs about them of the purpose of settling and laboring as peaceful citizens, aro, of course, permitted to pass unmolested. Above we present the Star’s readers with the true history of the very last adopted theme for the Kansas roorbacks of the New York Trisune, Times, Herald, et id omne genus. The Prospect —Our advices from all quar ters satisfy us that, though everywhere the opposition are contending with desperation and with all the means they can possibly devise or raise, they are to be overwhelmingly defeated. The only slaveholding States in which the Know Nothings have aught but a shadow of effectiveness for making areal battle when the voting comes on in November, are Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Louisiana; and in Kentucky and Louisiana they are surely des- tined to be overwhelmingly defeated. They have hopes of carrying Delaware and Mary- land, and are therefore struggling desperately there. In thirty days from the present wri- ting, it will be plainly perceived in those States that votes for their Fillmore electoral tickets are merely votes to strengthen Fre- mont; when thousands, who would gladly ad- here to Fillmore under other circumstances, will, ofcourse, abandon him. The great mass of the opposition in Maryland, however much they may be attached to Mr. Fillmore, will pursue no course in the approaching election likely to strengthen the hands and purposes of abolitionism. The difficulty in the Democratic party in New York has been entirely settled. The ‘‘ Hard” masses have very unanimously sig- nified their determination to take the bit in The “Yellow Vest” Difficulty.» We give below the comments of the leading London papers upon the last diplomatic em broilment, viz., the rejection, at the Queen's levee, of the West Point Professor with the yellow vest : [From the London Times, June 26 } When will the Americans learn manners? Who shall teach our transatlantic cousins how to behave? Here is one of them whotried: on Wednesday, in defiance even of an etiquette modified to suit his countrymen, to parade his republican person before the Queen at ber levee, in a frock coat, black neckcloth and ellow waistcoat. The thing itself was trivial, ut the object unmistakable. He wished to have it to boast that he had compelled the Queen to forego the usages of hercourt in this especial behoof. He tried to accomplish this national feat under the wing of Mr Dallas, who, when appealed to, supported his coun- trymen and left the palace in a pet. Weill, er all, we suppose her majesty will continue to hold levees in spite of Mr Dallas’ displea- sure It is scarcely worth while to confate the absurd pretensions of people who, with the most irritable touchiness in regard to themselves, combine the greatest disregard of alldecorum towards others. The Queen of England says to her subjects and to strangers who visit her in her own house, “I am happy to see you on all state occasions, but if you come, you will find me gorgeously aver to do you honor—return the compliment, then, and come in your best.’’ She tells her guests, in fact, as hundreds of ladies and gentlemen in this country are in the habit of telling their friends, ‘+ This is a ‘full dregs party,’ ”’ thereby implying that all who do not choose to observe the rule had better stay away What should we think of a fellow in private life who, after accepting an invitation to a set dinner, at which every body else wore full dress, presented himself in a shooting jacket and shepherd’s plaid trousers? In all proba- bility, abeala such a portent appear on the horizon of a gentleman’s hall, it would never rise to the upper regions of the drawing room, for the butler would infallibly show him to the door. Now, this is what the Queen’s mas- ter of the ceremonies very properly did in the case of an American who. in a frock coat, yel- lew vest, and black neckcloth, chose to present himself at her Majesty’s levee yesterday. He knew the mee of the court, and he perferred to with hold from the Queen and her august company the compliment which every gentle- man would have rendered Our American cousins must reaily learn the good old pro- verb abont ‘doing at Rome as they do at Rome,”’ and though they may live at home in the enjoyment of all liberty or license of dress or undress, they must, when they visit these communities, either disguise themselves and their republican prejudices in decent attire on occasions of state solemnity, or forego the greatest delight on which a true republican can feast his eager eyes—the sight of a live Queen on her throne. (From tke Lordon Atlas, June 28.) Oa hector d Her Majesty held alevee, ac- companied with all the promp and state be- longing to euch occasions. he gentlemen blazed in uniforms or displayed the quaint oddities of court costume. Into this gay re- ion of old-world magnificence, garnished with folly enough to make the old world happy, a small party from the new world endeavored to make their way. In consideration of the severe simplicities of republican Washington, the court sticks of gold and silver have long received instructions to admit American di- plomatists tailored in the common evening way. Notwithstanding this, Mr. Dailas wore a court dress, but one of his attaches had a mil- itary uniform, consisting of a frock coat, white waisteoat, and black stock ; and, unfor- tunately, the hearts of Gold Sticks and Silver Sticks were stirred within at the horrible sight, and a general presentation of sticks warned off the 1otruder from the royal ground Mr Dallas. regretting the error which had been committed in the belief that an official military dress was quite correct, retired with good temper; and Her Majesty on hearing of the indisoretion of her ‘Sticks’ sent a message to admit the uniform without delay. The nese arrived too late, and the party had left. Return of the Vincennes.—The U S. sloop- of-war Vincennes has reached New York after the remarkable passage of only seventy-four days from Tahiti, Sandwich Islands. She hes been one of the vessels engaged in the explor- ation of Bebring’s Straits, the North Pacific, &c , ordered by act of Congress in 1853. All are well on board her. The following is a list of her officers :—Commander, Jobn Rodgers, (commanding expedition); Henry K. Stevens, John Van McCollum, John Scott Fillebrown, John H. Russell, Beverly Kennon, Lieuten- ants; Wm. Grier, Fleet Surgeon; W. Brenton Boggs, Purser; Earnest R. Knorr, Commo- dore’s Secretary and Draugktsman; Arthur Witzleben, Assistant Draughtsman; William Stimpson, Zoologist; Charles Wright, Botanist; Edward M Kern, Assistant Artist; F. H Bierbower, Commodoro’s Clerk; Thos. Niblo, Purser's Clerk; Anton Schouborn, Assistant Astronomer; James H. Owens, Carpenter; Richard Berry, Sailmaker. A Mistake —“ Examination oF ASSISTANT Exaineers —The Secretary of the Navy has ordered a Board of Chief Engineers of the Navy, to convene at Washington, on the 17th of August next, for the purpose of examining atsistant engineers for promotion, who were absent from the country at the last examina- tion; and also candidates for admission into the engineer corps of the navy. The latter must be not less than eighteen nor more than twenty-six years of age, and must produce good letters of character, &c.”’ The above extract from the Baltimore Sun of this morning, involves a mistake. The Board above referred to adjourned some time since until the 19th of August proximo, when they are to re-assemble in this city to exam- ine the candidates for promotion only, who were not ablo to attend during their recent session. No candidates for admission. The Charge to the Jury.—More fecling exists in thiscommunity with reference to the charge given to the jury in the Herbert case than we ever before saw manifested on any similar subject. It seems to be the univeral theme of conversation emong all classes of our fellow-citizens to-day. The reader will find them in our local columns. The U. 8. Storeship Relief, Jas. W. Cooke, Lieutenant commanding, arrived at New York on Saturday last or yesterday, from the Bra zilian station, for which ehe sailed last from the United States for our squadron there. Next morning the Times, ever ready to mis- lead. had an impertinent and misrepresenting article on the subject, and the whole tribe of ‘gents’? and “snobs” assumed that an in- tentional insult had been committed, and were greedy for retaliation and war. Happily the matter is very simple and straightformard. The real facts make those who indulged in an ungentlemanly readiness to impute rude ness to the American minister look supremely ridiculous. Mr Dallas and bis attaclio have nothing to regret, and the ee sense and the kind feeling of the Queen have been agree. ably shown. The Current Operations of the Treasury Departmont.—On Saturday, the 12th of July, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For redemption of Texas debt.... $13,268 58 For the redemption of Stocks.... 23,695 57 For the Treasury Department 3,431 45 For the Interior Department..... 13,020 61 For Customs...csesssecesesesee 22,565 61 War warrants received and en- 21,773 26 tered wesccecescceseneeesrecces War repay warrants received and their mouths, scouting the advice and authori- Ontered...cecsccceevcssececees 2,128 92 The incident has demonstrated that the im- ty of their State central committee, and uniting os wie al the rae le . 5 . : 124,822 95 Sse of clothes has not declined.

As it evidently arose out of the indiscretion or ignorance of an in- dividual, we abstained from giving publicity to this unpleasant affair; and we are the more satisfied with having taken such a course, as we have now reason to believe that the United States Minister lost no time in offering apolo- getic nS and that these have been accepted. indicated by the Cincinnati convention. It is very evident that the Hard State conven- tion soon to assemble in Syracuse will gladly accept the arrangements to be made there at the same time by the regular Democratic State convention, as it is well known that by that time they will not have an average of ten constituents to each delegate present; while from quite half the assembly districts of the State there will not be a single delegate on the ground. The Fillmore party of Connecticut will cer- tainly have an electoral ticket of their own, which will receive thousands of votes, though the Republicans in Washington, for effect, are pooh-pooh-ing the idea that more than a hand- ful will support it. As for California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, the contest in cach of these States is a mere bagatelle, all of them beingeertain for Buchanan by majorities as overwhelming as those which Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi will give. Our friends in Tennessee are calculating, certainly, on eight, if not twelve thousand majority there. By the end of the October elections, Fremont and his woolly horse, and Fillmore, with his well-spoken speeches cn slavery while his northern friends in the House are intriguing with the Republicans to prevent the entrance of Kansas into the Union as a slaveholding ro CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS The Senate did not meet on Saturday last. Tm the House, on that day, after we went to press, the resolution from the select commit- tee on the Brooks and Sumner affair being under consideration, Mr. English offered a substitute for it censuring Mr. Brooks and at the same time expressing the disapprobation of the House of speeches in Congress assailing individual members or States. The debate was then continued by Messrs. Boyce and Etheridge. Mr. Quitman moved to confine further de- bate on the subject to fitteen-minute speecher. The motion having been agreed to, such speeches were delivered by Moar Nichole, Taylor, Stuart, Branch, Tyson, Knapp, Wood- tuff, Savage, and Oliver of New York. Mr. Houston then moved to recommit the whole subject, with instructions to report that the House have neither authority todetermine what are the Senate’s privileges, nor power to punish their violation. The debate was further continued by Messrs Kunkel, Damrell, Campbell of Pa., Hall of Mass., Durfee, Purviance, and Leiter, who contended the House bad jurisdiction, and by Messrs. Bowie, Reade, Florence, and Letcher, who took the opposite side of the question ; and then, at 9 o’clock, the House adjourned. —_—_____. POLITICAL ITEMS. A meeting of the Hard Shell committee was held laet evening in Academy Hall, Horace F Clark, in the chair, when it was agreed to unite with the Softs in one organization com- posed of three Hards and three Softs from each ward, making a general committee of 132 in all. Sixteen delegates and the same number of alternates were chosen to represent this city at the Hard State convention, which Proceedings of Te-Day.

The com- pany have now seven hundred men at work on the line in Newfoundland and at Ca work in accordance with taste, and up to the standard of modern mprovement, &c ; resolution agreed to. Two or three private bills were then passed ere they adjourned. In the House, Mr. Sapp moved to fuspend the rules for the consideration of a Senate bill for the relief of Norwood McClelland, master of the steamboat New World; motion subse- quently withdrawn. Mr. Clingman moved to suspend the rule to take up from the Speaker’s table the Senate’s joint resolution, fixing Monday, the 28th of July, as the time for the termination of the present session. The Non-payment of Interest.—The New York Day Boos—famous for ferreting out and exposing questionable transactions in Wall street—says that the ‘‘Co” of the firm of Palmer, Cook & Co, of San Francisco, California, is no other than John C. Fremont. The house of Palmer, Cook & Co., is, as we explained a few days ago, the agent of Cali- fornia for Paying the interest on her debt. The Day Book avers that the State has paid this interest into the hands of Palmer, Cook £ Co., to be paid by them in New York to her oreditors on this side; and that instead cg] Mr. Dunn demanded the yeas and nays on | Breton, and it is confidently expected that the 60 paying it over to the bond holders, Palmer, that motion, which being ordered, the rules line will be ae and in successful oper- Cook & Co. were not suspended—yeas 110, nays 91. ation from New » used it to obtain the Republican nomination for Mr. Fremont, and for other incidentals connected with that gentleman’s canvass for the presidency.

It is also expected that the great ocean line between St. John’s and the city of London will be successfully laid within one year, and thus the two continents of Amer- ica and Europe will be telegraphically united. > The Portsmouth (Va.) market houre was entirely destroyed by freon Friday morn- ing last—caused, it is suppored, by incendiar- isw, the fire having first been overed in the Mayor’s office.
