We place before our readers to-day, letters from our various correspondents in Europe, and a full compend of the news from Europe, which was re- ceived in this city yesterday by the arrival of the steamship Cambria. The news is one week later than that which we had previously received, and embraces decidedly the most important intelligence that we have re- ceived from that part of the world since the de- thronement of Louis Philippe. It sets at rest, we think, the question whether order and quietude will remain in France, and whether that country will peaceably settle down into a republic. The elections have taken place and were characterized with great order and decorum. The voters performed their duty without any interruption of the public peace. Lamartine and his compeers have re- ceived the greatest number of votes, whilst the ultras got the lowest. The first great crisis has, therefore, been passed in France; and if the new Assembly act their partas well, that great country will hereafter rank as the greatest fepublic in the world. One of the most favorable signs of these elections is the unanimity with which M. Lamar- tine has been elected, having been voted for by men of allparties. This proves that public opinion in France is sound, and it augurs well for the wel- fare of the republic. All danger from the social- ists, Fourierists, or communists, is at anend. They are now in possession of all they craved—freedom of the press, freedom of speech, &c., and ample room and verge enough wherein to discuss their principles without danger of causing commotion or endangering the peace of the State. Their recent comparative defeat will teach them that they are not the most powerful element of society; and the comparative smallness of their numbers will give a moral force to the moderate members of the go- vernment, which will be sufficient to keep them in their legitimate sphere. They may agitate as much as they please; but the result will, no doubt, be the same as that which has attended the discussion of Fourierism in the United States. The National Assembly will now proceed with the work of forming a constitution for the new re- public; and, in doing this, they will have the coun- tenance and support of the people at large, by whom they have been elected. As there will be a majo- rity of the moderate party, of the Lamartine stamp, we may look for a constitution from them similiar to that which we so happily live under. As might be expected, the quiet which attended the elections, and the preference shown by the voters for Lamartine, had inspired the public with confidence, which had a favorable influence on the money market. It is not, however, as regards France alone th the result of these elections is important—more so, even, than the recent revolution. The principles of free government were involved in the issue. Had it resulted differently, republicanism in Europe would have received a blow which it might not have recovered in twenty years. Now, however, the great problem which involved the whole of Europe, and for the solution of which the people of the whole of the Old World were waiting with the most intense anxiety, has been satisfactorily solved; and the impetus which this solution will give to the cause of republicanism, will be irresistible. It has now assumed a giant’s strength, and will not stop in its career as long as a despot reigns in Europe. It is asserted by the English papers that the number of votes cast in the recent election was remarkably small; but on the question of popular suffrage, Eng- lishmen are not capable of forming a correct opinion. On the contrary, the vote thrown was extremely large, as much so, in proportion, as the vote which is generally thrown in'the city ot New York, where, with a population of nearly half a million, forty thousand votes are conside rge num- da ber. Paris, with a population of a million, has thrown a vote of two hundred and ten thousand, which, in proportion, isa much greater vote than was ever cast in the city of New York, even in the most excited elections. W cannot rely on English representations of French affairs. We must judge for ourselves, through the representations of Ame- ricans, who are on the spot, and who view things It is on this account that we have taken so much pains in establishing our system of foreign correspond nd tions in France can only be obtained from Americans resident there with an unobseured vision. ture to say, that a clear ¢ unp the recent ¢ Affairs in Italy remain in much the they were in ame stat at the sailing of the previous steamer. The principles of republicanism are fast gaining ground there, and the church. continues to use its influence in the popular cause, in this reapect difler- ing essentially from the course pursued by the Pro- testant church in England, Indeed, the Catholic chureh in the Old World, under the auspices of that great and good man, Pius the Ninth, is purauing the same course which it did in ancient times, when, on all occasions, it fraternized with the masses in their opposition to the tyranny of Roman emperors and barbarian dynasties, ‘Thia is ano- ther important advantage with which the canse of republicanism has gained in these latter days, and one which for centuries had not been identified with it In the north of Euroy as , hostilities still continue but the prospects are that there will not be a gene ral war for the present. ‘The republican feeling is gradually and slowly spreading in Germany—and Ume will bring forth its fruits There is nothing new from Ireland; matters there remain in mach the same condition. ‘The people are arming, and the government are taking every precaution. The manufacture of the nationa weapon, the forming of rifle clubs, and military organization and drilling, go on with renewed vigor, and nothing is talked of but the probable re- sult of the conflict between the government and the people, which is soon expected to take place. The London Timea continues to discuss the propriety and impropriety of granting all that the people of that country demand, and alme ns the Irish with a repeal of the union. ‘This, we think, is a very significant sign, and almost induces us to k that, despite of the assertions of Lord John Russell, the government will cede the repeal rather than meet the impending crisis, by a resort 10 physical means to stop political agitation. | Nam On'the whole, the news is favorable for the pro- ress of republicanism in France, and the rest of surope. weand they are aa fale — Population of Paria.......5 Estimated number of voters, . r of votes actually taken tions “stimate of the votes given to the Lamartine party, or moderate republicans ......... A Estimate of votes given to the Rollin and Blan: party, or socialist . + 80,000 ‘These estimates are predicated on the actual returns from several sections, or districts. Paris is divided into twelve wards (arrondissements), and these again into two hundred and eighty sec- tions, or districts, as we call them. Each district took generally less than 1,000 votes. This minute division of the city of Paris into districts, caused the quiet and calmness with which the election was conducted. The elections in New York are conducted on the same plan, which generally pro- duces the same quiet aspect. The whole business is begun and ended in one day in this city—and in two days in Paris. ‘These are the election facts in Paris, and they probably are alike throughout France. They give us a high opinion already of the practical capacity of the French people for conducting their republic. They must have arranged these matters on the experience of the United States. Aguin, the re- sults show a very full vote, and great political excitement, in contradiction to the grossly false statements of the English press, which asserts that no interest was taken in them. Indeed, the pro- portion of actual votes taken in Paris to the popu- lation, is greater than was ever taken in New York. The total defeat of the socialists is a good omen of permanency. Success to the French republic! Tux Forri@n News.—We received our foreign files by the Cambria at an early hour yesterday morning, by our special messenger. We first, how- ever, received a paper of the latest date through the enterprising express firm of Harnden & Co., whose energy is entitled to all praise. Theatrical and Musical- ‘Woe were premature in stating the exact progress of the recent theatrical changes and revolutions. Tho negotiations for a lease of the Park Theatre have not yet been completed. Messrs. Astor & Co., the proprie- tors, had agreed to let that theatre to Mr. Hamblin, for ton years, at a rent of ten thousand dollars per annum, the lessoe expending eight or ten thousand dollars in repairs. After this arrangement had been made, and the papers prepared, Mr. Astor wanted to insert a new clause in the loase, for the purpose of giving him any property thet Mr. Hamblin might introduee into the theatre in the course of his business. This was ob- Jocted to. and the negotiations are at stand-still for the present. This much on this point. Mr. Niblo has not yet taken the Astor-Place Theatre, because he could not get it. That reapectablo establishment has beon run into debt. to the amount of sixteen or seven- teen thousand dollars, and is now in the hands of the Sheriff of New-York, instead of those of Mr. Niblo. A project it maturing on the part of the subscribers, and other ereditors of the recent Opera, to bring an action at law against the proprietors of the theatre, for the re- covery of damages occasionéd by the abrupt termina- tion of the Opera, and their losses. The matter is still in confusion and intricacy. It is said, too, that the agent of Marti, from Havana, is in negotiation for this theatre, and he proposes to open it with opera in Sep" tember next. Another change has been announced. Mr. Burton, of Philadelphia, it is stated, has taken Niblo’s theatre. with the intention of enlarging it to double its present size; fitting it up in elegant style for Italian opera, legitimate comedy, or anything elso that will pay. Thus stand matters at the latest accounts, in regard tothe changes and revolutions in thoatricals, The new tragedy founded on tho story of Leisler, written by Mathews and performed by Murdoch, has turned out a complete failure. The catastrophe of that come- dy has involved Mr. Murdoch, the play, and the au- thor, and has damaged, in a great degree, the prestige of the Bowery Theatre: The great tact and energy of the manager will, however, soon extricate that concern from any unfortunate step that may have been taken, from @ generous sympathy to encourage the native dra- ma. Mr. Forrest yet stands at tho head of the native school, and Mr. Murdoch unfortunately stands no- where. A revival of the legitimate drama soems to be up-hill work. Showy pieces, mixed with wit, humor and plenty of seenery, still reign triumphant, with every now and then opera and farce intermixed. The Chatham has been doing wonders during the Leisler fever, but the Bowery will revive again this week under new aus- pices. Bowrry Turatne.—To-night the new drama of “ Ehrenstein,” is to be produced with all the splendor which money can procure. Mr. Hamblin purposes to bring forward this class of pieces with the same éclat which attended “ Norman Leslie,” “ Laat Days of Pom- pei.” and those splendid dramas of the former days of tho Bowery, We have no doubt that he will be liberally supported, as the patrons of this theatre, are always ady to rally around it, when anything extra is ought out.

We expect to mect a full house.

Cunisty's Mixstnets.—These are really minstrels, and nothing but minstrels, in. the fullest sense of the word. Walter Scott wrote the Lay of the Last Min- xtreLmany years ago. Had the great Wizard of the North lived to the yresent day. he would have found that the last minstrel had not yet been found, for here we havea round half dozen of them, all likely to live and sing for many years; at all events they will sing at Mechanic's Hall, this evening. and how many more we will not pretend to say—probably five hundred. Baxvann's Payonama.—The universal opinion ex- prossed by vixiters to this exhibition is that it is the most beautiful thing ever scen in the United States. and what is more, it is a most correct delineation of some of the finest scenery in the country.

His “Lament of the Irish Emigrant’ is admired wherever the Eng- lish language is spoken. The “Dying Child,” the words by Mary Howitt, is also a beautiful thing.

Ming, Meadows. an actress of the St. Charles theatre, has before one of the New Orleans courts a petition for divorce from Mr. Proctor, to whom sho was recently married. The plaintiff avers in her petition that, ao- cording to agreement, she was to be considered a wife only in name—that Proctor was to claim none of his marital rights, ke. It turned out, however, that after the ceremony, he attempted to break the bond, and hence the application for divorce.

The City Bible Society. ‘The tenth anniversary meeting of this Society took place, last night, at the Rev. Mr. Benedict's church, corner of Norfolk and Broome streets. The report showed that the sum of $1075 53 had been received from varlous sources, and that 6324 Bibles had been distri- buted, being on increase of one-fifth over any previous year ; from which fact the Society was still in debt about $300. After the reading of the report, the annual sermon was delivered by the Rey. Mr. Remmington, from the 3d chapter of Paul to 2d Timothy, and the 16th and 17th verses: “ All Seripture {s given by inspiration of God,” &e. He anid: We havoa book hero which we call the Bible. It professes to have high claims upon us, and to communicate great and glorious things. It is therefore proper that we should know something of its history. — ‘Though the text speaks of the Old Testament, because the New was not then completed, yet the New Testa- ment has as high a claim to the sacred appellation as the Old. The facts recorded in the New Testament are predicted in the Old. while the New recognizes the Old, by constantly appealing to it. ‘The Bible there is called the “ Holy Scriptures,” on account of the holy doctrines which they teach, and they are termed ca- nonical, because, when their number and authenticit were ascertained, their names were inserted in ecclesi- astical canons, to distinguish them from other books, which. being of no authority. wero kept out of sight, aud therefore styled “apocryphal.” The first five books of the Old Testament, commonly kuown as the Pentateuch, are ascribed to Moses; the other books of the Old Testament. as well as thsse of the New, wera written generally by the persons whose names are at- tached to them. It ix the prevailing opinion amang the learned, that Ezra published the Scriptures, as far as they were perfected in his day. in the Chaldee cha- ractor; for that language being generally used among the Jews in his day, he thought proper ‘to change the old Hebrew character for it, which has, since that time, heen retained only by the Samaritans. among whom it in prorerved to this day. n following out this brief history of the Bible. it will not be amiss to give a passing notice of some of the ancient versions and translations of the sacred books Among the fourteen ancient yersions of either the whole or prominent parts of the sacred volume, the most important are. the Samaritan, which is the pure He- brew ; the Chalduic, which is called the Jewish Targa. rus, and the Septuagent translation into Greek—the lutter of which has ever boon deemed of the greatest importance by competent judgos. The five books of Moses were translated from the Hebrew into Greek, in tho timo of Ptolemy Philadelphus, King of Egypt, about two hundred and eighty-five years before Christ. and approved by the seventy elders, who constituted the Alexandrian Sanhedrim. as a faithful version. The other books of the Old Testament were done at differ- ent times by different hands, as the necessity of the case demanded, and were probably completed before the Christian era, as would appear from the quotations of the Evangelists, the Apostles and primitive fathers. The Vulgate. a translation into latin. is also a very important version, supposed to have been made in the fourth century. The New Testament, which includes the four Evangelists and Apocalypse. has undergone many translations. About five hundred have been ac- tually examined and compared, collated. with extraor- dinary care; many of them running up to the 8th, 7th, 6th. 5th, and 4th centuries. The first printed Bibio in our language, was that translated by W. ‘Tin- dal, and printed in 1526. Most of the copies w bought up and burned by Bishop Tonstal and Sir Thomas Moore. By the inspiration of the scriptures, we aro to under- stand that the sacred writers composed their works under such an immediate influence of the Holy Ghost, that Good may be said to speak by those writers to men; and not merely that they spoke to men in the name of God, and by his authority. ‘There is con- siderable difference between the two propositions. Each supposes an authentic revelation from God ; but the former secures the scriptures from all error, both as to the subjects spoken of, and the manner of expressing them. Heb. i. 1,, “God. who at sundry times, &e.” In glancing at tivo evidences of the inspiration of this ancient book. it may not be improper to observe that Moses and Christ stand as the founders of the two great departments of the Bible. The biblical record states that Moses was the leader and legislator of the nation of the Jews, nearly 1600 years before the Chris- tian era, according to the common chronology. ‘This is grounded upon the tradition and national histery of the Jews; and it is certain, that so far from there being any reason to doubt the fact, much less to sup- pose, with the extravagant fancy of some modern in- thdels, that Moses was a mythological porsonage, the very ‘sane principle of historical evidence which as- sures us of the truth of any unquestioned fact of pro- fane history, assures ux of the truth of this, Mr. R. dwelt upon the proof of the authenticity of the Bible, and its inspiration, and, ay such. essential to man’s highest interest, and perfectly adapted to meet his moral wante Aftor the sermon, a collection. for the benefit of the Society, was taken ; and after the singing of a hymn, the congregation was dismissed with the benediction Closing of the Religious Anniversaries. The Reformed Duteh Church, Lafayette Place, was ly crowded last evening by a fashionable congre- gation, who flocked forward to hear the discourse of the Rev, Da. Tyxa, on the © importance of the Sabbath in preparation for Heaven.” After the services, Dr. T. commenced his discourse hy calling the attention of the congregation to the first seven verses in the 56th chapter of Isaiah, In the ethereal world: the stars were arecord of the past; and a beacon for the future, These stare proclaimed the glory of God—they were witnesses of the unchangeable fdelity of God—there lights in the heavens wore for signs, and for seasons, and for years—preeisely such, were the revolutions in the Gospel. “ Go ye teach all nations—and behold Tam with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.’’ So saith the Lord. The institution of the sacred Sabbath, was just like this. It bound together the Alpha and the Omega of the old and the new world, The great end of the Sabbath was rest. It com- memorated the rest of the Creator at tho end It foreshadowed that rest which is to be found with God; and, a8 for near sixty centuries it commemorated the rest of man, it also fovetold that rest promised from on high. It was the sceptre of his majesty that extend- edto man. It wus, also, the security promised by God, that they may have strong consolation in the redemp- tion of man, ' To reject the Sabbath was the refusal of every thing by man for the salvation of his soul. In its connexion with the future, I am direoted to consider it in regard to the past. In the sacred Scriptures re- ferred to, this has reletion ve the future. It is the lan. uage of promise for the future, God speaks of it as Fogerds the future; end, however man may despise it, God proclaims the with which he is to reward them. He promises them rest and happiness; and then | Kingdom ts never to be destroyed; all languages spoken, and all poople living as one peo- ple, under this dominion. shall he, too, rest wre; God's great covenant with the Saviour was to put all earthly things under his dominion. The rest for the people of God was prefigured in the Sabbath. The second coming of the Saviour would overturn the power of anti-Christ on earth. It is to this great branch of justice of the Saviour’s creation, that we are te look forward for our glorious rest. When people saw the efforts to ure and perpetuate ca- tholic unity—and then leoked upon socialism, they could not but feel bound to exert themselves in the cause of religion; but the day of redemption was coming. Natiens were convulsed already, and the shadows of God’s glory have shot across the Atlantic. ‘That day of glory was coming, and the world would oxult over the great approach of that day. It was to this that the promise in the passage he had read refer- red, ‘That day was coming. But beyond this glorious rest with Christ. and among his people here, there was another rest with Christ in aafother world above. This was an eternal rest. Aftor the dolivery of the dis- course, the congregation separated. COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS, MONEY MARKET, Sunday, May 14—6 P. M. By the arrival of the steamship Cambria from Liver- pool, we haye seven days’ later intelligence from all parts of Europe. The news is exceedingly important, and of a much more favorable character than antici- pated. Politically, the advices are highly satisfactory; and commercially, they are rather encouraging. Only about half a dozen new failures had been announced, most of which were ou the Continent. The markets were in an improving condition, and a more healthy state of things existed than at the departure of the provious steamer. ‘The unsettled position of political affairs on the Continent, produced from time to time fluctuations in quotgtions for consols and other secu- rities in London; but amidst the whole, there had been no material depreciation. Cotton was in more active demand, but prices were unsettled ; business in the manufacturing districts had improved, in consequence of un unusual demand from the East Indies; but the sales of manufactured goods were much below the cost of producing, and the manufacturing classes were individually depressed. Cotton, under the circumstances, was in a much better demand than ge- nerally anticipated; alarge amount had beqp forced upon the market from the United States, principally of the lower grades, which was the cause of the depreciation reported, while the higher grades had slightly improv- ed. The shipments of cotton to the Continent had been more extensive, and tho trade on the whole was slowly recovering. Breadstuffs were firm at previous prices. ‘There had been large arrivals of Indian corn from this country, most of which had been taken for Ireland. There had been no variation of consequence in the enquiry for breadstuffs; but the market was in a healthy condition, with indications of an improvement. Money was oxceedingly abundant in London, the rate of interest ruling at 344 per cent. Tho bullion in tho Bank of England had decreased, the drain being prin- cipally for Ireland; shipments, to a limited extent, also having been made to the Continent. Whatever demand there might have been from France for specie previous to the election, it no doubt ceased immediately after that event, as confidence in Paris was at once restored and the current of coin into the Bank of France had com- We look for « rapid improvement in finan- cial and commercial affairs throughout France; and tho etlect of the elections upon the other powers of Europe must be highly favorable. We have now more confi- dence in the stability and success of other republican governments, and believe that whatever popular elec- tions take place after this, will, without doubt, result as satisfactorily as that in France. ‘The French republic is established ; the Convention will consummate it, There may be for a time consider- able political excitement; and in the formation of a constitution the political parties will be more distinctly defined. The crisis is past, and no mob, no radical or- ganization, no fraternization of clubs,and no socialism, oan arrest the progress of the popular governmont. ‘The whole world has been astonished at the quiet, peaceable manner in which the elections have been conducted; and welt may the monarchies of Europe tremble at the result. The English press cannot dis- guise the bittér prejudices it entertains against every successful movement of republiéwiwarin France, and great allowance must be made for these feelings, which pervade all the English accounts. We must expect, for some time yet, considerable agitation in the political affairs of France. ‘The tremendous revolution in the form of government cannot be at once brought about. The most important point is past, and all danger is over. Hereafter, the representatives of the people will have as much as they can do, for a time, to perfect and strengthen the system of govern- ment they may adopt. Enough has already been done to give the people confidence, as all intimi- dation from the lower orders has disappeared, and industry will again prosper, and employment be given to those who have for some time past been idle, and in their idleness have fostered all the disorganizing prin- ciples which the radical portion of the provisional go- vernment have made such efforts to promulgate. When the people have employment, they have no dis- position to obstruct the operations of or oppose the go- vernment, and political affairs are left to politicians. ‘The result of the elections in France is, therefore, of the most vital importance to overy interest of that country, as it givor the substantial classes confidence, which is the basis of every thing. This is all that the people of France now want to give them the most per- fect form of government in the world—to give an im- pulse to trade, to restore thoir manufacturing interest to ite previous prosperity, to give them the enjoyment of more blessings than they over before dreamed of. Without confidence nothing can stand, and it is full as important in political as in commercial affairs—per- haps more important, as tho social condition of man depends more upon the first than the last. Further accounts from France will be looked for with the mostvintense anxiety. The details of the election will bo exceedingly interesting, and the probable post- tion of parties a matter of much moment, Tho more equal the division of the moderato party, the better for the country at large; and even the existence of a con- servative party, provided it was not too powerful, would not be an unfavorable feature in the political affairs of the republic. A consorvative party is in all governments a check to the other two, and exerts a fa- vorable influence upon both. The effect of the elec- tions upon mercantile matters will be of great iampor- tance here, as our commercial intercourse with France since the revolution, has been very much reduced, our exportations having nearly ceased, and our importa- tions amounting te almost nothing. The restrictions upon commerce, which have so long existed, will, with- out doubt, be removed, at all events much modified, and the exportation of our principal staple products much increased. We loarn that there is a large quan- tity of tobacco in this market ready for shipment to Havre and other Froneh ports, immediately upon the removal of tho restrictions, which is expected of the new government, The monopoly which has so long existed in France relative to this staple, has had an injurious effect upon the trade; and in the event of the trade boing thrown open, tho influence upon other go- yornments of Europe may be of the most favorable character, The resources of France, which have been checked by the restrictive policy of former govern- ments, will, under a more liberal commercial system, bo most rapidly developed, and we have no doubt our commerce with that country will increase and become at once more productive. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quotations in this market for each day af the past week, and at the close of the week provious.

New Yorx, Saturday Afternoon, May 13. ‘The Flour market, owing to increased arrivals, was less firm, and sales were made at a slight decline, compared with previous rates. Wheat remained inactive. There were . Corn continued firm, owing to light sup- plies, and sales were made at full prices. Meal conti- nued in steady demand at full prices. Rye was lens a tive, und sales made at a slight reduction on previous rates, Oats were loss firm, and sales were making on terms more favorable to purchasers. From Boston wo loarn by telegraph that Flour and Grain wore in fair request at steady prices. By our report from Baltimore, it ‘will be seon that there was no change of moment in that market, It will be seen that the receipts by canal at Albany were light, and that Flour sold at fair prices, while Corn was in good demand. In this market, Pork 1d at steady prices, while there was no change of mo- ment in other articies of provisions. Groceries wore steady, with considerable sales of sugar, terial change in priges.

On account of the news brought by the English steamer, which arrived at Hayana on the 28th ult. businoss is ata perfect stand. Ships now on the berth for Eu- rope, are laying on demurrage, and in some cases the prospect is, that they will be discharged rather than risk the danger of trouble in Europe Sl MARITIME INTELLIGENCE.
