News From Europe, We have by the arrrival of the Austerlitz, at Charleston, and Burgundy at thisport, from Havre, five days later intelligence from Europe. To-morrow morning we shall probably receive in- telligence twenty nine days later still,by the Caledo- nia, which was due at Boston yesterday. To-day is herseventeenth at sea. The Recent Atrocious Libels by the Wall street Press on the Court of Oyer and ‘Terminer, . Perhaps nothing that has occurred in the history of the newspaper press of this country, for many years past, has so startled and aroused such a gene- ral feeling of indignation ia the community, as the recent atrocious libels against the Court of Oyerand Termine, published from day to day by the Wall street papers. Let us look calmly at the true and simple position of this whole matter. The Wall street papers rais- eda terrible outery because one paper had published a most innocent jeu d’esprit, (so considered by nearly the whole bench and bar of New York,) in the shape a report, which was very accurate throughout, in its main features and facts, but which happened to contain a few humorous but thoroughly harmless remarks on one of the judges, entirely free from ma- lice or the slightest intention of evil, and which by some unaccounteble perversion of judgment, was construed into a mere technical libel, and eveatua- ‘ted in a fine of g850—when, in truth, and in fact, and in the estimation of a large majority of the com- munity, the fine should have been but nominal, and not more than six cents. When this result was published, the Wall street papers (who had been for several days endeavoring to create a strong prejudice in the public mind, and to brow-beet and threaten the Court, and intimidate it it pozsible,) came out with a series of articles, abuaive, malicious, and libelous in the extreme, up- ‘on a majority of that Court—charging upon its mem- bers that they were actuated by the most corrupt agd degrading motives that could be imagined, im- peaching their integrity, shamelesely asserting that they were corrupt and dishonest in their judicial conduet, and ultimately winding up this series of bace, malicious, and unfounded attacks, with one of the most violent and alarming libels that has ever been published against any court or individual in this country: And to show the concert of actien between these papers, and the systematic nature of these at- tacks upon theCourt,all these libels were regularly re- published by the respective Wall street editors, and endorsed daily each by the other, and aggravated by additional libelous remarks and comments accom: panying each re-publieution. Ali tending to the preeuniption that there was a preconcerted plan of attack leid down by these journals, amount- ing to a conspiracy, to assail and destroy the honor, dignity, integrity end utility of one of the highest judicial tribunals in the country ; the constitutional- ity andintegrity of which was notonly never be- fore assailed, but was never fora moment doubted or calléd in question. Such isthe real position of this whole matter.— Such has been the unwarrantable, unblushing and unpardoneble conduct of the Wail street papers, in relation to i. They do not pretend that in pursu- ing these atrociousattacks on the Court, that they are publishing a report of any part of its proceed- ings, a8 a matter of information, or merely throw- ing off an innocent jeu d’esprit, or harmless jest of the moment, free from malice, or design to bring the Court into contempt. They do not indulge even in sur: But they recklessly charge upon the Court dishonesty, corruption of the basest kind, in- trigue to poison the pure stream of justice, for the worst of purposes, and in the most brutal manner avow that it is their determination to bring that Court, t present constituted, into contempt, and possible, the vitality of all its high and And this, too, at a time when mat- ters of the deepest interest to the whole community, invol ving the life and death of several individuals, and through them wvolving the safety and stability of the yery foundatiens of our whole social system, depend upon the estimationin which the proceed: ings of this very Court is held by the whole commu: nity. Is not such a state of things alarming to the jast degree? Does not every well regulated mind shrink with hovror from the state of anarchy end depiavity which these Wall etreet popers are ev'- dently endeavoring to bring about?)

France4 On the third of January, the members of the Chambers of Deputies assembled for the purpose of clecting the Committee to draw up the Address in answer to the speech frem the Throne. On this occasion there was adiseussion on the foreign and domestic policy ofthe government. The ministry were attacked forthe convention of July, for its policy as regards Spain, for the reduction of the navy, and several members, in passing in review the acts of the government, bestowed on them un- qualified cencure. M. L. Herbette spoke with great animation against the attacks upon the press, and blamed, with much severity, the recognition of the right of maritime search, demanded by the British Government. M. Sauzel has taken possession of his official residence in the Palais Bourbon, as President of the Chamber of Deputies. The “ Constitutionnel” has the following article on the message of the American President:— **We see in this document a policy and a lan- guage worthy the government of a gieat nation, We will not compare it with that of our Ministry, for the blush of shame would mount to rapidly to eur cheeks. We also havea brave navy and glorions flag ; and yet the English exercise over our vessels the right of search, which is energetically resisted by a people whoare not ignorant of their maiatime inferiority, but who rely on their courage and pa- triotism. " It is contended that this exhorbitant right is reciprocal. This, howeve: a mere illu: sion, for the British flag dominates in every sea.

Secrerary Ursirer’s Opamons on tHe Ustox.— This amiable and talented Secretary has published three or four colamns in the * National Intelli- gencer,” in reply to John M. Botts, the header off and executioner of Captain Tyler. The question in dispute is, whether Judge Upsher ever expressed himself in favor of a dissolution of the Union—and the evidence on both sides is the recollections of private conversations, small talk in steamboats—ex- clamations in rainy weather and interjecrions utter- edin travelling over bad roads. Both parties, as usue! in such Pickwickian questions, prove the trath of their, assertions. Botts is correci—Secre- tary Upeher is eorrect~all are correct and_honor- able men, Seriously, hewever, the whole of this controversy is a perfect farce—more laughable than anything in Hoz's works.

Dr. Morr discourseth onthe “ Mi —Dr. Sevens contiauesthe discussion of the fimda- mental principles of the subject of his former lecture, which excited such a sensation as the revival of the Abernethian, Samivel Weller style of popular lec- turing. The “profession,” during the pact week, have been dreadfully agitated by a controversy re- specting the comparative merits of these two emi nent savans. The respectable dry-ourses of the New School are: quite enraged at the attempts to place Dr. Stevens oa the same level with their venerable darling, and tura up their noses. at the funny old boy of the ‘* College,” just as we may imagine that pretty Windsor girl, from whom the royal “babby” derives the nourishment of his most sacred, flannel-swathed little body, does at the hum- ble foster-mothers of the ‘tenth transmitters jof.a foolish race.” Some of the supporters of the New School, indeed, would eat us up alive, because we called Dr. Morr their “great gun.” This is super- lutively silly. All the world and his mother very well knows that Dr. Morr is to the Stuyvesant School, what gas is to a balloon—a boiler to a steamboat—or impudence to a “ Colonel Webb, of the regular army!” Why, at the whisper of a hint that this distinguished operative surgeon would leave them, the teeth of the old dry-nurses would chatter in their head, and their venerable knees knock against each other, in the manner of some poor devil of a blue coat in the swamps of Flo- Tida! Of the value of Dr. Srevens to the ‘ College” in Crosby street, any one who reads his lectures in the Lancet, will be at once convinced. The second fully sustajas the character of the first. There is in it the same practical experience, sound judgment, and grinning good humor, that eo remarkably distin. guished its predecessor. The fact is, the most preyudiced non-professional, on reading such a lec. ture, falls head and ears in love with surgery, and is almost persuaded to wish he were hiinself a Saw* bones! Since the “ battle of the frogs and mice,” recor- ded in immortal verse, there never has been such i Itis very evident, from these and similar mani- festations, that the “independent cash press” of all the large cities are rapidly approximating to the sup- port of the President, This is a real popular move- ment—beyond the reach of the political cliques, and will lead to some astounding results one of these days. If the “cash preas” of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, thus come forth and stand by the President, the bankrupt portion of the press is powerless and gone for ever. Apropos ought not the Post.office Department take into con. sideration the propriety of giving the advertising of the leitera in the large cities to the cash prese, purely asa financial and business traneaction? ' Thus, for instance, if the Postmaster of New York were to advertise inthe ‘New York Sun,” (we-don’t say anything of the Herald, because we don’t want it,) instead of usiag those two obscure and limited-cir- culating papers, ealled the ‘‘ Commercial Adver- tiser”’ and the “Daily Express,” it would increase the revenue many thousands every year. A single carrier <fihe Herald or Sun takes more papers than two-thirds of the whole circulation of either of these ‘Wall street prints. Such facts ought to be taken into consideration by the President and his cabinet in an economical and business point of view. The voice of the people—the sentiments of the people—the pewer of the people are all with the independant cash press—and they can also do the Post Office advertising of the govern- ment, better and cheaper.

So the New School are also wiae, in their gene- ration. But there’ one poiat where they have been un¢quivocally beaten. The New School had an- nounced a summer course of Lectures, by D.s. C. A- Lee, Post, Detmold and others, which was to be given at a merely nominal rate, to induce students to stay, and give greatereclattothe school. Bat the gentlemen of the “ Faculty” it seems merely in ten- ded this as a kind of “ decoy-duck,” and so the oth er week they told the talented physiciana whom we have named, that their services would be dispensed with,.as it was not intended to permit any person to lecture at the Siuyvesant Lastitute on any subjects taught by the Professors; and thereupon the cuaning old fellows deposited their tongues im their left cheeks, rubbed their hands with great glee, and went off in the full glow of one of the greatest of all earthly enjoyments—a hearty inward chuckle. But their laughter was as the joy of the silly ones, whick., as the wise man says, “‘is like the crackling of thorns under a pot,” for the worthies of the “Cel- lege” immediately completed arrangements by which one ef the most attractive and varied courses of scientific lectures ever given in this city, will be delivered during the summer. Now all these movements are of the greatert iaterestto the commanity. They betoken the ap- proach of a new day ‘for medical :ecience in this country. They show an awakened desire of eleva. ting the character of medical education. They give encouraging evidence that an art, eminently noble and useful in theory and practice, will one day be disencumbered of all those clogs and hinderances which have hiiherto impededJite progrees in this country. And they form but one of the “Signs of the times”—those evidences every where apparent that the human mind is preparing itself, by one gi- gantic effort, to carry away. those gates, by which ignorance and superstition have so long held it in thraldrom. Tuearnicats.—The Park re-opens to-night with the new tragedy of “ Nina Sforza,” to bring out which,insplendid style, the management have been devoting all their energies for some time past, and have expended a great deal of money on scenery, dresses, decorations, &c; Simpson being deter. mined, if possible, at.any cost, to give the. publica series of good comedies, tragedies, S&c., and to see if the legitimate drama, properly done, will not be successful once more.

[Correspondence of the Herald.) . eAusary, Feb 18, # Ia the AsszuBry to-day, the Committee of the -shesays resumed the consider ation of the Election aw. 4 Mr. Loomis offered an amendment in effect that each election district should not exceed six hundred voters. The amendment was adopted, 4 Some amendments necessary to make the pro- visioge of the bill consistent with the sections al- ready amended were then adopted. Mr. Loomis then moved that the section regulating the mode of appoiating inspectars, be amended 20 as to conform to the bill of last year, by which tWo inspectors weretto be chosen by the people, and the board of canvassers were to select the next highest of the defeated candidates as the third inspector.— He urged this asa matter of justice to both par- ties. Mr. Tamsuim objected to this; he thought that this legislature should not legislate for party in this or any other matter. They were sent to legislate for the people, and if they began to regard purty, there was no telling where it would stop, ‘ Mr. Sarr supported thé position assumed by Mr, Loomis ; not because he was in faver of legislating on party grounds, but because it would preserve the rights of the minority, and act as a check to fraud and corruption. Mr. Swacxsamen was cf the same epinion, it was trusting too much to human natare, to suppose all inspectors so honest a3 to be incapable of fraud—it was they, essential, that the minority should have some safeguard. Mr. Davezac opposed the amendment—he be- lieved that the majority should always rule; this principle was the granite rock upon which rested the principles of our free institutions. Besides, he had too much confidence ia the people to suppose, for an instant, that they would select men for in- spectors who were capable of dishonesty and fraud in the discharge of their high Juties. The Sreaxea moved, as a substitute, that justices Of the peace, and assessors and commiasioners. of Common Schools in each town, shall be consti- tuted inspectors of election—any three of them re- siding in an election district to be a quorum for the transaction of business. Mr. Staamons thought there would be considerable embarassment created by this. ‘There was the pro- bability of having one or more of these officera mis- located. He thought these officers should be crea: ted expressly by the people, and not hold their pow- ers ex officio. a i The Speaker said, that although he had sent this amendment to the chair, he was merely acting as an amanuensis. It was the suggestion pe entleman from Onondaga. He thouzht that one of the true principles of representative government, was, that the will of the majority should ulways rule. By dis- carding this we abrogated repreeentative govera- ment. He believed that no one would deny thatthe best men of the town were always chosen for these officera—men who yeu entrust with the monetary affairs of the towa, and thus ano:her advantage would be gained by getting for mere inspec: election the very best men ofthe town. ‘The deba'e was cootinued at length on the. two propositions, when the question was taken on the aineadmeat to je amendment offered by the Speaker, and lost. Mr. Cawe argued bag pa the adoption of Mr. Loomis’ amendment. He thought that by appoint- ing @ man as inspector, who was rejected by the peeple, it was direcily intringing en the rights of the majority. If this principle was correct why not carry it out in the appointment of Canal and Bank Commissioners? The minority had rights there which required as much guardi the franchise. Davezac’ again reiterated his argumenis Support of the course he had taken in regard to this amendment. at Mr. Loows replied in support ef his amendment. Mr. McMouanay suatained Mr. L. He thought it necessary that the majority should be watched and guarded by a minority.. The question wes then taken and resulted in the adoption of Mr.L..’s amend- ment—fifty-two to. twenty-six An amendment ras then cffered that this principle be extended to cities. Mr, Loomis thought thet this principle could be obtained by giving the Cemmon Council this power. Gentlemen repreeenting cities had expreased them- selves to such effect. The amendment was adopted. arious other amendmenis were them adopted for the purpose of making the provisions of the bill in unison with the amended portions. The debate on some cf these amendments was most ea owing to the want of decision on the part of the chairman, Lowd: talking prevailed—halfa-dozen members shouting, Mr. Chairman, and that fanc- tionary ina quandary as to who was entitled to it. At onetime Mr. Grout had addressed the chair at least a dozen times before he could obtain the floor. ‘It was utterly impossible to hear or understand a word of what waseaid. . The time of holding the poll was fixed in the cities from sunrise to sunset, and én the country fos eight A.M. notil sunrise, without intermis on. Oa the question of allowing them to be closed for @ dinner hour, Mr. Davesac said, what was the de- nual of a dinner compared to the preaervation of the brightest jewel in American {reedom. The inspec- tors wanted no dinner—they were fed by the excite ment of the election, He did not believe in this putting the ballot-box out to nurse fer a night— had known it under such nursieg to bring forth chil- dren.— (Laughter. )—In Louisiana, this had been the case. Ata recent election in thatstate, when it was evident that the democrats had triumphed, the boxes Were piutto narse into the Louisiana Bank, and the result was that the complexion of the box became changed and under such nursing brought forth a whig victory.—(Great laughter.) — committee thea rose, and the house adjourned. In the Senate, the bill in relation to the repeal of the New York Grininal Ceurt Bill, was taken up in Committee of the Whole, when Mr. Scorr moved to amend (s0)a3 10 extend the repeal of the law of 1840, changing the manser of drawing grand jurors, be) wes adopted, and the bill reported to the mate. ‘The weather still continues cold, and there is at present but little prospect of a speedy Tesumption of the navigation, as the ice that hes formed jn the tiver during the late cold snap, is strong enough to- y to bear loaded teams."@/t would be in conso- nance, however, with the weather we have had thus far this winter, if 1t was te turn round warm again with rain, so as to sweep it all away again.
