News from Europe. We have not yet received tidings of any of the steamships that are on their way to this country ; but we will certainly have one, and probably two, to-morrow or next day. The American steamship Washington will leave Southampton to-day for New York; and, no matter how long she may have taken to reach there, she will, it is confidently expected, make the return passage in ten or eleven days at the She left here under circumstances not very favorable for speed, and it would be unfair farthest. to form an opinion of her speed from that trip. The return trip, we are satisfied, will realize the most sanguine expectations of all concerned. General Taylor and the Presidency. We give in to-day’s paper a very important correspondence that recently took place between the editor of the Cincinnati Signal and the hero of Buena Vista, on the subject of the Presi- denicy. There are three peiats in General Taylor's letter which are worthy of consideration at the present time. First, he is opposed to giving his views on the political questions of the day till the war is ended. Secondly, he will accept the nomination for the Presidency, but he will not be the candidate of any party. And thirdly, that he (approves of the sentiments and views embraced in the Cincinnati editor’s editorial. We commend this correspondence to the at- tentive perusal of our readers. The Fourth of Ju . Sunday next willbe the seventy-first anniver- sary of the declaration of independence of the United States of America, and we hope and ex- pect that it will be celebrated in a proper man- ner by all our citizens on the Monday following. As usual, our city will be taken possession of that day by country folks, who will come here to see the sights of Gotham, and drink root beer and lemonade in patriotic quantities, and in thorough democratic style. We do not know whether the Common Council will allow booths to be erected around the Park this year or not. Tf they do not, those same country folks willbe amazingly disappointed, and will be driven to worse places to obtain something to enable them to bear the fatigues of the day and the heat of the aun. OF course the military will turn out strong, and we shall have without doubt a regular old fashioned procession. The Declaration of Inde- pendence will be read by incipient orators, and snake heads and squibs will frighten the ladies, and burn their clothes. A thousand excursions will be enjoyed on that day, to every place with- in fifty miles of the metropolis. Thousands of our Gothamites will not make up their minds as to the places to which they will go on that day, until they receive the Herald of that morning, which generally contains a list of the excursions to take place. According to our custom, we shall notice them all, and point out the advantages of each. The proprietors of steamboats, railroad cars, &c., had better therefore send in their adver- | tisements as soon-as possible. State Debts, and State Constitutions. The Empire State has set an example to all thers of the confederacy, in several of the most important features of a government—in the con- struction of public works, in the formation of banking systems, and in certain restrictions im- | While other States have followed the State of New York in the con- traction of a debt, and in the construction of posed by the constitution. public works, they have not all taken such good care of their credit, or so promptly fulfilled their engagements. The free banking law of this State, has been adopted by Ohio, and it is probable that Penn- sylvania, Indiana, and Illinois, will soon adopt a system similar to it. Those States having large debts, should by all means perfect a banking system, by which their own bonds would be the emigrants congregate, bringing it with them ; and even here it would soon disappear under a change of treatment, air and diet, were.it not for fresh cases from on ship board. The causes which predispose to it, do not exist among us— it is the child of famine and want of ventilation, and cannot brook plenty in the face. Out of the hospitals, not one in a thousand of our citizens has seen a case of it, or even heard of one in the whole range of his acquaintance. It is the duty of the press, to present facts as they are ; and while we would deprecate all at- tempts at covcealment, where there is real dan- ger, we would wish in this case to disabuse the fears of any whose business or pleasure calls them among us. Those whose interest it is to check or divert the tide of travel which, at this season of the year, sets toward New York, are somewhat in the habit of getting up a periodical epidemie for us. They thusalarm those whom they masinform, and detain them at the cities and watering places south of us. We can assure our friends at a distance that in visiting the city at this time, they willincur no unusual risk. They will see some changes for the better, and will find the sea breeze and the surf of Rockaway and of Newport as inviting, the air of the Catskills as pure and bracing, and t v waters of Saratoga as sparkling and refresh- ing as in former years; while the boats that speed them along the Hudson and the Sound, have not their equals for elegance and comfort in the world. {Our Philadelphia correspondent must have made a mistake in relation to Major General Patterson. We have reason to believe that Gen. P. isa brave and considerate officer. Our cor- respondent must mean some other individual.] Panx Turarne,—Bellini’s opera, “La Sonnambula,” attracted a numerous audience to this theatre last even- ing. In fact, the air was fresh and cool, and there was no reason for any lover of music to miss hearing that partition, which is everywhere so celebrated. Besides allthis, the Signora Carranti de Vita was to make her debut, which was another attraction in itself. The whole opera went off Py. well, and except some hesita- tion in the voice of Amina (Signora Carranti), when she first appeared, and some hoarseness in Perelli’s sing- ing, every act deserved, as it received, great applause, The phantom chorus was sung with great accuracy, and repeated on account of its admirable expression, which is always effective. The grand aria and cabaletta of Signora Rainieri (Lisa) was rendered by h taste and feeling. Perelli showed all his know! the musical art in the well-known andante “4h non posto odiarti” ( Still 60 gently o'er m ing”), and was tendered a beautiful wreath of artificial flowers, which, by the bye, was thrown at his feet very inoppor- ‘We have now but to mention the last scene of ‘Amina’s somnambulism, which was rendered by Signora Carranti with perfect talent. Her last cabaletta of “Ah! non giunge uman pensiero” (* Ah! don’t mingle one human feeling’’), she sang with so much of precision and feeling, that the whole assembly, Tedesco included, who was in a private box, called her out, and flowers, | nosegays, and wreaths, were launched upon the stage. | This is certpinly.» Seianph for this singer is very fear- ful on the boar and needs more assurance in her act- ing. Vita, her husband, acquitted himse'f of his part with real talent. There is no performance this evening; but the opera is to be repeated to-morrow night. The Park Theatre will be-well attended it is certain, espe- cially if the weather remains as it is this morning. Gnawp (Concent of Mapame Fixuny Jouty axp Mr, Dusrevi.—This musical event takes place this evening at the Apollo Rooms. We wish to advise our dilletanti readers not to lose the opportunity of hearing the prima donna absoluta of the French company, and the oele- brated barytone, Mr. Dubreul, who delighted all who heard them in New Orleans last winter. The voice of Madame Jolly is said to be of an immense compass, and her style full of pathos, ‘This ought to be undoubtedly the case, for she has chosen the grand aria of Halevy’s “la Juive” il va venir, which demands real talent to make it effective She will also sing the cavatina, from the “ Barber of Seville,” and the favorite song and finale of the n’s Musketeers,” » comic opera b; Halevy. This is a capital aria, and was always tocotes in New Orleans. ‘The barytone, Dubreul, is no less worth hearing ; © pupil of Donizetti, and having sung in the best theatres of Italy, he has acquired a great reputa- tion in Europe, and was so appreciated in New Orleans, that Mr. Davis wished not to let him return to France for any reason. The grand opera of Charles VI. in which Dubreul was personifying the mad French King. was a real triumph for this able singer. Mr. Dubreul | will gratify us with a gem from “ Maria Padilla” of Do- nizetta, and three scenes com by the best French musical writers. Among the other pieces of the concert, Signor Genovesi, a tenor, who makes | his firat appearance before an audience in New York, will sing, in company of Mr. Dubreul, the duo of “ Beli- sario,” which is so well known and admired.

Their bonds would then be of our own capitalists. The time is the interest upon payment will go into the pock ets of our own people, instead of being remitted to Europe, at the rate of five millions of dollars Nothing would bring about such a desirable result more speedily than the adoption of a system of banking based upon State stocks. The Legislature of this State came to a wise the per annum. to amend to receive refused as conclusion when it free banking law, so the stock of the United States, as well as that of this State, as security for the paper issues. Up to the Ist of June, there were deposit- ed with the comptroller of this State, New York State stocks amounting to $5,872,845, by the free banks, upon which circulating notes for the same amount have been issued. We have about twen- ty millions of dollars, in the bonds of this State, yet in existence, most of which will, before re- demption, find its way into the hands of the comptroller, as security for circulating notes. When our whole debt is extinguished, which, under the new constitution, must take place within the next twenty years, it will be time enough to amend the free banking law so as to receive government securities. Pennsylvania hae a debt of forty millions of | dollars, and a banking capital of about twenty millions. If the banking system of that State was based upon its stock, more than one half of its bonds would be withdrawn from the market, and the bill holder, and all others depending upon the banks, would have greater confidence in the promises to pay of those institutions. noi banking systems at all.

This person, who has been #o grossly attacked and slandered,for some time past, by a certain portion of the press, hearing that Madame Fleury Jolly and Mr, Dubreul were about giv- ing @ soirée musicale, has, with kindness and courtesy. given up the second night of the “ Somnambula,”” which wus to take place this very evening, wisning not to de- prive the French artists of any music lover in New York. Such an act epeaks of itself, and needs no comment. Mr. Villarino will then be obliged to open the Park on Satur- day, which is always a dubious night By this means he will’ have insured the certain success of Madame Jolt Sod of Mr. Dubreul.

There is a party in the convention opposed to banking in any shape, but it is too radical for this age. any State in the Union has no banking system of its own, it will be inundated with the issues of banks in neighboring States, the security or value of which the people know nothing about, and continual losses will be experienced, whereas, with a system of its own, which every citizen will understand better than that of a foreign State, more than seven-eighths of the evils of banking will be done away with.

Castig: Ganvex.—There was a vory full and respecta- ble attendance at this theatre last evening, as much, no doubt, to inhale the cool refreshing air of this beautiful location, as to see the performances of the excellent company now engaged there, The overture to “Fra Diavolo,” was given by the orchestra in # style of har- mony and ence 60 a8 to call forth the applause of the entire audience.

The three pisces played were the farce of “ Wilful Murder,” the comedietta of “Sketches in In- dia,” and the musical farce of the “ Swiss Cottage.” The parts sustained by Miss Anna Cruise, Mra.

The official party, on leaving New New York, consist- ed of the following persons: The President and suites Messrs, Clifford, Burke, and Appleton, (Secretary,) the Secretary of State, and part of his suite from Washing- ton or Philadelphia, to wit: Commodore Stewart; Gov- Mouton, of Louisjana; Col. Mana, (of the Hanover treaty.) 'and Capt.'Steen, of Buena Vista; all of whom, including Mr. Buchanan, henceforward may be consid: ered as attached to the train of the President, We also had from New York to New Haven, Alderman Purser and Aasistant Alderman Kobler, as attendants, and Gen. Thos. J. Green, of the Mier expedition; also a committee from New Haven, Messrs. Wilcox, Blackman and Bristol; also a committee from Boston, consisting of Aldermen Parker and Head, and Coucilmen Bailey, Seever and Whiting. andthe United States Marshal, Isaac O. Barnes; also a committee from Hartford, whose names we have lost, but Marshal Mann was among them. Col, W. H. Polk, Minister to Naples, Gen. Geo. M. Keim, 8. H. Porter, Col. Forney, Dr. Lehmand, and Geo. Plitt, of Va., came"down tothe boat to see the deputa- tion’ off, and then returned to their quarters, at the Astor, most of them intending to return forthwith to Philadelphia. ‘We will pass over the salute at the wharf, the heavy salute from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the cheers of the hundreds of children under the care of the city fathers at Blackwell's Island, the boiling pot of Hell Gate, the delightfal breeze which played “Over the smooth waters of a summer's sea,” and the good substantial breakfast aboard, and will land the party at once at New Haven. Here the President and frienda were received by @ salute by the military and by the Mayor, end distributed into carriages, (the very bes: that we had seen on the route to this point.) the military led off, and the procession icadu a of citizens on orseback bringing wp the rear. Went round the city, and through e principal, streets, under those um- jus elma. And we the first exhibition of Yankee beauty, and a beautiful sight it was. All the doors, and all the windows, to the tops of the houses, were brilliant with the sweet faces of the fair daugh tera of the town and neighborhood. The streets were thronged with pedestrians, The young men cheered— the young ladies waved their handkerchiefs as the Presi- dent pasted along. The clean and charming little eity— the uniformity of taste and comfort about all the houses —the general neatness of the people—the fat horses—the. elm trees—the green parks, and the public and college buildings, were well calculated to imprees » stranger en- tering New England with the “ fixed constitutional fact” that the Yankees are a smart and thrifty people. ‘On approaching the public square, another artillery sa- Jute was fired, the city bells ringing from the moment of the arrival daring the procession. The President and company, entering between two rows of great elms, were escorted to the State House, and into it; where, after introduction to the local authorities, the Chief Magis- trate and his ministers, took their stand in the main pas- then the people were ad- wi » If an overwhelm- jexican rancheroes had been behind them, people could scaresly have Haeoed forward with Fetiin motor thektog heads ‘promised to take up tis jut thes) ‘of shaking hands promi e up the whole day, if carried out, so Mayor Peck, ‘at the top of his voice, made the following compromise with the people: “ Fellow citizens :—The dent cannot shake hands with all of you. He has but a little time to remain with us, so that to give an opportunity for all to see him, you will please pass by here, where the President will stand on this chair and exchange salutations with you as you pass, without shaking hands.” The crowd thereupon began to move through prett; rapidly, whem several young ladies coming up, the gal lantry of the Mayor, prompted at once to put in lowing proviso. Gentlemen, you will t please Bass alon will shake bands with the 5 "Oh Peck knows what's right I reckon.’”) When the citizens had through, including the children of the city achools, (one of the female teachers, with a mischievous smile, presenting Mr. Buchanan with a bouquet as she went by.) the President and company, with the city authorities rested a few minutes, and drank « glass of lemonade. After which, the city’s guest and his friends, were takon into the Chapel of Yale College, where, as soon as seated, they were greeted by the Beethoven Society, in fall the fol- nice little dinner all to themselves in a day or two, at which toasts are to be given and original songs sung, various other interesting matters attended to. * Tue Merrimac Fresuer. The Lawrence Courier says that the freshet last woek was the heaviest June freshet on the Merrimas for many years The dam at that 6 was dsmaged only to the amount of a few hundr jars. The water was rapidly, = on Friday morning it had gone down about three chorus, with the national hymn, to the air of “God save the King,”’ beginning as follows :— My country, ‘tis of thi Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land of the Pilgrim's pride, Land, where my fathers died, From every mountain side, Let freedom ring. And they sang another chorus, as the com lately after the first, evacuated the Cha; Si go ber of yo ‘ol.

Here we ware wn lock of hale from. the skull of Major Andre, after his remains had lain in the earth for forty years—it was brown, but rusty and corroded-by time and the grave iu the same case with it wasa pen and ink portrait of the unfortunate Major, done by himself while in prison asaspy; which sketch has been pronounced by those who have seen the man, to be a correct likeness. If so, he must have been a man of fine personalgresence. He was also something of a poet, if we may judge from the song, beginning— “Return, enraptured hours, When Delia’s heart was mine,”’ But, = fellow, he took the wrong road one fine day—a road from which there is no return under the laws of war, and justice and the cause of liberty demanded the penalty upon the instrument, which the traitor himself escaped. From the Li! , the President and friends were es- corted over to the Tontine House, and awaiting there half au hour for the summons, it was at length given, and the city’s visiters, and the city fathers entered the dining hall, and sat down, with the Mayor at the head of the table, the President on his right, and the Secre- tary of State on his left, to the following bill of fare:— 120000000000000000000000000000' RECEPTION DINNER ‘TO THE President of the United States.

The spe- cial train for Hartford must leave precisely at that huur, to ‘ble the President, with his fellow citizens, in other Ik, dus w Pl , to meet his en; therefore, that you wi this time. ‘There was some murmuring and some laughter at this announcement, when The President of the United States rose to his feet, and all at the table iinmediately followed the example. L hope, said he, my fellow-citizens of New Haven will excuse this apparently abrupt departure; but the ar- rangements to leave this city at three o’clook are impe- rative, and it is now within a few minutes of the time.— I cordially thank the authorities of New Haven and its citizens for their cordial welcome, and the officers and students of the college for the kindness they have exhibited. We must leave you. my fellow.citizens, and my only regret is that our arrangements compel us, at this ‘juncture, to take our departure from your beau- city. The Mayor then proposed, ‘Tho President of the United States,” which was drank with three of the roundest and most unanimous hurrahs. The President and company were forthwith conducted from the unfinished repast to the frout door, and into the carriages there in readiness, and escorted down to the depot, and as soon ax all hands bound for Hart- ford, on account of the President’s visit, had taken the train put off at quarter gements, The President hopes, excuse him, if he should leaveat places in the cars, past three, at an extraordinary speed to make up the deficit of fifteen minutes, 80 punctual are there down easters in their arrangements. We had an acces- sion of another Hartford committee (having been with the party in all the proceedings at New Haven, including the unfinished business at the dinner table) to wit :—- Gov. Toucey, Senator Niles, Hon. Jas. Dixon, 8. H. Huntington, and R. D. Hubbard. We ran up to Hartford, through a well-cultivated country, at the rate of soma three miles in five minutes The road had been newly laid—the dry earth and sand had been loosened along the track, und euch a cloud of dust as was raived by the wind of the loco- motive, and such a draft of smoke and sparks as came in at the open windows to fill the vacuum in the cars, (for Nature abhors # vaccum.) we haye no special desire to experience again. At the dis- tatice of amile anda half from the city, the curs stop- ped, “aud the company, after a brushing, went out. es- corted by the Mayor, to carriages near at hand, and then with @ convoy of # squadron of dragoons, the cavalcade took up the line of march to Hartford. On the frontiers, the column passed into the grounds of the Insane Retreat, under an arch of flowers, and passing round to the opposite front, the President's car- riage was stopped, while two young. women, inmates of the Asylum, came forward, and deli to the Proai- dent @ bouquet culled from the gardens around bim. Entering the city, a number of infautry companies joined in the escort; and then commenced the show. ‘Never, we guess, or calculate, was there such a day in Hartford. ‘The streets ulong the whole extent of the tour around and through the city, swarmed with men and boys, and the array of the fair sex on the side walks, inthe doors, and at the window! populous be- yond precedent, and beautiful without parallel. Mercy on us, what bright eyes we saw—what rosy cheeks, what hearty blooming damsels; or, ifyou please, what interest- ing pale and delicate sweet creatures there were out in Hartford yesterday; for there was every variety andstyle of beauty; a thousand young maidens in view at a single glance, their eyes shining down upon you, and tearing your heart, susceptible peruser, all to pieces. as the croas-fire of the Mexicans riddled the Tennessee troops in the streets of Monterey. They waved their handker- chiefs, they dropped bouquets into the President’s car- tinge, they bowed, they smiled, and if ever we felt that we had got into a scrape, it was in passing under the continued fire of this fascinating aforesaid artillery of bright eyes, covered as we were with dust and sweat, and the hair of your deponent resembling a wig made of asun-bnrot buffalo robe, more than the natural head dress of a respectable Christian. Well, sir, we passed round and returned ook the west flank of the city, amid the ringing of bells, the pealing of cannon having subsided on the entry faitly into the place It was here that the President’s carriage stopped at the elegant, though modest cottage of Mrs. L. H. Sigourney, a lady who has written, perhaps, more poetry than any half dozen of her lady cotemporaries. and better and moro valuable prose than any poetry she has ever written, will write, or can write, Site is _pub- lic property, and we hold her in high estimation. Well, the President’s carriage, and that of the Secretary of State, stopped in front of Mrs. Sigourney’s for a glass of water. Her family, including Mr. S , as we guess, were in the portico, and shortly the old lady came forward from among them, and helped the President to a glass of water, and Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Clifford, and Mr. Burke, and Mr. Appleton, and the Mayor; and while, as we stated in yesterday’s despatch, she was thus oc- cupied— “On hospitable cares intent,” some importunate scape-gallows of a thief found his way into her boudoir, and stripped the table of sundry va- luables, including a gold watch, » gold pencil case, and other Ittle articles of bijouterie, readily convertible into filthy luere. At length, after three hours in the sun, blazing awa; at 90, and in the dust, and in the pressure ofa multitude which ap} to absorb all the Mae from the atmos- phere. making it hot and steaming as a Thompsonian bath. the President and compavy were at length landed at the City Hotel. for an hour's respite from the fearful ordeal through which they bad passed. The military, in their u thn cloth costume, buttoned up tothe throat and hh their bear-skinor heavy hard leathern caps, march ing on foot all those three long hours, at a quick pace, looked as though they had suffered some. tad they passed under a waterfall, they could scarcely have come out wetter—had they been cooped up an hour in an Egyptian eccaleobeon, or egg-hatching oven. they could searcely have perspired more copiously, Water, water —there was one general demand for water. ‘The official company pasted in, were dusted down, and took «lemonade, you know, washed their hands and faces, and, after resting a little, were taken in toa colla- ton, which combined all the eesentials of dinner, tea, and supper, and at eight o’clock ‘all hands went down to the cars, where a nice young man was found who had come up from New Haven without invitation, and was recognized as an old offender in the art of abstracting pocket-books from other men’s pockets and traasferring them to his own He was taken into custody, and kept back, which is the last we have heard of him. We hope he may turn out to be Mrs. Sigourney’s especial visitor, and that she pe cover her bijouterie, We got the fact of the robbery from Mayor Ripley, who come up with us to Springdeld some thirty miles, where we arrived at half past nine Inst evening, baving stopped for a moment at several points on the way, one a little manufacturing town on the Connecticut river, at which the whole populace tarned out and cheered the President, for the ruin sup- posed to be effected by the tariff of 746, no doubt.

[From the Boston Advertiser, Juns 80. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, the lent left Springfield in a special train for this olty. With him were Mr. Secretary Buchanan, Mr. Attorney General Clifford, Mr. Commissioner of Patents Burke, the oom- mittees of invitation from Boston, Charlestown, and Roxbury, the United States Marshal for Massachusetts, and several other individuals, ‘he train caine duwn from Springfield with great ra- pidity, but we are not able tochronicle all the President's movements on the route, At about @ quarter past twelve o'clock the committee of reception from Boston— members of the two boards of the common ceuncil— found that the Preside! train was close upon the Bos- ton and Brookline line. At this line the cars were stopped and the President and his cortege got out, and took their places in carriages provided to bring them into the city over the mill dam. There was no speech- making at this place, and the President entered the barouche provided for him without any ceremony. In about twenty-five minutes, the vehicles, contalaing his Excellency and » reached the Eastern, or hither, end of the Western Avenue, where the ity authorities, with the military escort, were in waiting. Here all the troops presented arma, which salute the President ac- knowledged by re peated bows. The Chief Magistrate was then officially introduced to the Mayor by Alderman Parker, chairman of the cit: committee of invitation ; and Mr. Quiney weleomed hfs ixcellency to the city in the following brief address : President—In alf of the citizens of Boston, I ‘ate of the Union, to the me- tropolis of .

To an acquaintance with men whose in- dustry, intelligence, and enterprise, hus clothed this bar- ren soil with plenty, and made it the abode of art, and science, of virtue and religion, To an examination of the institutions, particularly of the free school, the po culiar institution of our land. by which, with the bless- ing of Heaven. we hope to continue a race of intelligent freemen, who will understand, maintain, and transmit, the liberties and virtues of their fathers to the end of time, We recvive you, aa we received your predecessors in office and a k that you will grant us, as they did. the honor of considering you the guest of the olty, during your stay among us, To this, Mr. folk ded, almost as briefly.
