Every week’s intelligence from Europe is deeply amteresting. The contest in that quarter of the world is for great,powerful,and unchangeable prin- ciples of progress in human society. The crisis in England, France, and other nations of Europe, 38 as Important as that which broke out there with the reformation of Luther. Then it was a contest of religious liberty against religious despotism; now itis civil liberty against oligarchy and civil tyranny. Every week's intelligence from England is as s it might have been during the old interesting ~ ~ry, ‘ich e) revolution in the seventecth centarys which ended owealth. At an the establishment of the commu neat this moment a reign of terror exists in Engrawl; as deep and bitter as the reign of terror established by Charles the First, against the reformers of his day. In the full and comprehensive details whi«, we have lately given of the legis!stive, executive, and judicial proceedings adopted by the British government and their subservient tools, against the chartists and the other political bodies of the British empire, there is developed as deep and bitter a spirit of tyranny as ever was exercised by Judge Jeffreys and the government of his day. An Englishman reads a graph from one of the American papers, commenting in general terms oa the policy of the English government toward one ; of its provinces, and for this act is arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to two years imprison- | ment in the penitentiary, as a felon! No viola- tion of civil hiberty and persona: t went farther than that in the days of Charles the First. And yet the English journals talk of liberty being enjoyed in that land by every one claiming to be an English- man. The truth is, the British government 1s an odious landed oligarchy, i whom all the powers of this civil liberty, so much vaunted and so much abused, are concentrated and directed to the en- joyment of an oppressive monopoly, and to the | deprivation of the great masses of the people ot every social and civil nght, beyond a beggarly pit- tance that barely supports human existence. One million of men monopolize everything like power and property over the other twenty-seven millions composing the British population. The nots which have been lately renewed in Treland, will not, we are afraid, produce any last- ing reform or amelioration-in the condition of the people. The discontented,masses of Irish society are not pervaded with any advanced ideas of li- berty or government. Their efforts spring merely from the overwhelming force of the destitution ‘and physical evils under which they are groaning, but are not directed by streng or powerful ideas to ward the attainment of anything real, or politicai, | in human advancement. The real revolution, ifit ever should take place in the British empire, will commence simultaneously in the three kingdoms, and spring from higher ideas and more eflective instrumentality than have characterized the late movements of the Irish people. The present con” duct of the British government towards the char- tusts and the other jolitical malcontents, forms but the first step in that reign of terror which will uln- mately produce a general conflagration throughout the land. Time will mature events. The Corrupt Use of the Public Money, for Party Purposes. We learn that upwards of a million and a half ot | public documents—that is, of partizan docu- ments--have been distributed by the democratic | ranking committee, at Washington, since the close of last session. The number of whig docu- ments is not eet down, but itis quite reasonable to suppose that the whig committee have not been idle, and that, if they have not cent off quite as many Buncombe speeches and articles as their opponents, they have, at least, exhibited no seru- pulosity about using the power which they possess, to gorge the mails with party statements and representations, doubtless, containing as greata quantity of trash and lies as those sent by their opponents Previous to every Presidential election, several members of both houses of Congress are appointed a committee to remain in Washington, during the recess, for the purpose of deluging the country, both North and South, with documents generally of 4 most worthless character. The mails groan with the weight of these parcels—the business correspondence of the country is often delayed in consequence-—and, what is worse than either, the people are taxed to pay for the transmission of matter sent, most generally, with the sole view of helping a few men to office. The people’s moncy ie barefacedly squandered, in order that the politi- evans may thrive For this practice, neither party is more to blame than the other. It is followed with a perfect un- | | the publication of the speeches of Senators made | from day today in those papers, the Senate has | the reply, as soon as possible, in order that all | | speare’s plays, (Henry the 1V,) well and faithfally | truth in relation to thie matter, and to all the dis- | ment, simply because the government ehooses to wink at them, and they are sanctioned by the conceit and skulking consent of thear brethren in both parties, A fraud om government it ie—be- | cause those who firet favored the conferring of | the frankiog privilege om members of Congress, never contemplated its uee for the furtherance of party purposes. It was conferred simply to afford facilities for free communication with their con. stituents, and to enable them to lay before the lat- ter such information, relating to the business of legislation and the affairs of the country, as it would be in thear power to give, and it would be useful to the people to receive. itis time |ubhe attention. were directed to this growing abuse. The only practicable mode of reaching it is by abolishing the franking privilege, and at the same time by making newspapers free of postage. As long as members are allowed the franking privilege, they will abuse it to dose their constituents with trashy speeches made by them- selves and others. This fraud wil! continue so long as it is legalized. When it is prohivited and puniehed, like any bther fraud, then 1t will cease. The Senate of the United States, by a resolution of that body passed at its last session, legalized another fraud of a similar character. We refer to during the session, in the two party journals ot Washington, the Union and the Intelligencer, at the rate of seven and a half dollars the column, to each. For the reporting, printing and publishing these same speeches, now in course of publication already paid Doctor Houston, their late reporter. The speeches were complete—in the hands of all the Senators and their friends—and yet, in order to give the party papers above named a bonus for their partizanship—nothing else—the Senate actu- ally broke its contract with Doctor Houston, and voted seven and a half dollars a column for their re-publication in the Union and Intelligencer. By this contract, each of these papers clears, at the lewest calculation, five dollars a column, and their profits may be estimated by the fact that they now publish from six to ten columns daily, and that of the most drowsy and soporific trash, gene- rally, that ever fell from Senatorial hps. The House of Representatives very creditably refused to sanction this fraudulent use of the public money, and itis to be hoped that the Senate will see the grossness of the deception practised on them by a few ot their own body in the interest of those wretched papers. It the movers of this scheme for the publication of the reports were actuated by motives of human ity, at was certainly very mistaken humanity.— To prolong the lingering existence of those wretch- ed papers, at the expense of the people, was an act of egregrious folly. They de neither useful to their own party nor dangerous to their opponents: indeed, it would be impossible to guess at the ob” ject of the Union’s existence, except to eulogise Mr. Polk; or of the Intelligencer’s, except to be the apologist of England. It 1s quite possible that the whigs wished the continuance of the former, with the view of injuring the democratic party, and that the democrats, actuated by similar motives, desired to lend a helping-hand to the Intelligencer. ‘This may, after all, be the secret of the success Ff ameasure which outwardly wears a most repul. sive aspect. Indeed, we doubt if the Senate of the United States has ever offered a grosser or more barefaced indignity to the common sense of the people, than by robbing the Treasury to enrich those papers. We hope that after the election in November the politicians will return to their senses, and en deavor, with as good a grace as possible, to undo the mischief they have-done, and stop the expen- diture of public money for the vile and dirty pur- post's OF party, c goer ' Couuins’s Line or New York anp 1.{*S8PQ01 Mai Steamens.—This line of ocean steamships, | built under the direction of E. K. Collins, Lsq., the hulls of two of which will be launched next month, will probably excel in point of swiftness, | and every other kind of excellence, any vessels now afloat. They are intended to ply between this port and Liverpool, and will, in all likelihood, prove the fastest and safest steam vessels ever built. The machinery will be of immense strength, the engines more solid and strong than any heretofore constructed, and the greatest ener- gies of science will be directed to produce, in their construction, the most perfect combination of strength and swiftness. The contract with govern- ment provides that the vessels shall have such | capabilities as to admit of being converted, at any | time, into war steamers of the first class; and it has been hitherto a trial of skill so to combine the necessary strength with such modelling, in | other respects, as would secure the greatest pos- | sible speed. The proprietors are sanguine that they have attained, in the construction of the New | York and Liverpool! mail line, this happy combi- | nation, to the fullest practicable extent. The steamers are to be named, respectively, the At- lantic, the Pacific, the Arctic, the Adriatic, and the Baltic, making them emphatically an ocean line of steamers. Tur Unwritten History or tur Mexican War. —Some few weeks ago we published a communi- cation, entitled a ‘* Chapter from the Unwritten | History of the Mexican War,” describing some of | the men and the movements in the famous battle of Molino de] Rey. The author of that article is | a gentleman of the highest honor and veracity—a | militaty man of unquestionable capacity, ep4 one who was an eye-witness to most Of the scenes and incidents he described. We perceive that a very long and elaborate reply was made to the article yesterday, in the columns | of the Courter and Enquirer. The reply, however, is by no means conceived in the courteous man- ner of the communication which it purports to correct. Yet, notwithstanding this disparity in the etyle and tone of the two articles, we shall | endeavor to find room for the material parts of | parties referred to may have fair play in the co- lumns ef this journal. We wish nothing but the tinguished men who have been engaged in the Mexican campaign. Iurontant Strate Exxctions.—Yesterday two important State elections took place, one in Georgia and the other in Florida. In two or three days we shall receive some of the rethrns trom these States. These returns, whatever they may be, will give us additional data to judge of the chances of General Cass and General Taylor for the Presidential chair. If the result in Georgia and Florida should be very decidedly in favor of the whigparty, it will give an impetus to the election of General Taylor that | will carry him triumphantly through the contest. On the contrary, if the democratic party be victo- rious, the chances of General Cass will be propor- tionately increased, and those of General Taylor diminished. The eyes of all politicians will be fixed on those two elections. We have made com- plete arrangements to procure the earliest and most authentic returns of them, and the public may rest eatistied of receiving the first and most aceut rate intelligence through our columns More News Mm ~The steamship Hermann, Captain Crabtree, will be due to-mor- row, with four days later news from Hurope.

Turarnican Manacrment.—This theatrinal — it would seem, is one that calls forth all the energies the respective managers, in order to produce for the amurement of their patrons the highest order of hie triovie and musica) talent. We have it announced that Macready opens on Wednesday, at Nibio’s, Ham- blin is going thron$b} his round of tragic characters at the Bowery, which is nightly filled. Collins appears this week in all his fine Irish dramas and inimitable Irieh, and other songs; and we have just been informed that Madame Anna Bishop, undoubtedly the most ac- complished vocalist in the country, has been engaged, and will appear at the Park Theatre on Wednesday evening, when the lovers of musical excellence will be delighted in hearing all the gems of the respective operas rendered with the highest degree of art, in sweet intonations and exquisite execution; and, though last nt least, Strackosch, the piano enchanter, is giving & reries of his monster concerts in this city. Panx Tnratae.—The performances at the Park, last evening, were worthy of that favorite resort. The Monplaisir’s, as ifre-assured of the favorite place which they held in the esteem of the audience, performed the various parts allotted to them in @ manner which called fur the loudest plaudits, “ Esmeralda” has not been performed before in a more perfect manner than on this occasion. The Pas S-ul in the first act, and the Pas de Deux in the same, with all the accompany- ing and intervening dances, were accomplished in that manner of distinguished grace which characterizes only high art and great practice, connected with the best abilities, and in the second act the feats of agility and gracefulness were not less wonderful, The other eptertainments of the ening were all that could be desired In the comedietta of “ Our Mary Anne,” Mr. Chapman as Jonathan Junk, Miss Rose Selbin as Er- nestine, afforded ample amusement to put the audience in the best possible humor, and in the after piece of “40 and 50,” Mr, and Mrs. Gilbert, as Mr. and Mra. Lillywhite, were perfectly and irresistably comical. Mr. G.is certainly an actor of very high merit, and cannot fail to become a great favorite at any house where he performs, He bas such a quiet and happy way ofsaying his good things that his auditors are drawn into a broad grin, ora laugh outright, before they are aware of it. Mrs. G. also possesses creditable @ talent, and seconds, extremely well, the efforts of her busband, Bowery Tuxatne.—This house was well filled last evening, despite the excessively unpleasant weather; and those who did go were amply repaid for their trou- ble, as “Corfolanus” was produced with great splendor. Mr. Hamblin filled the part of the haughty Roman most admirably. He looked the character to perfec- tion, and his elocution and declamation were truly great. Tilton, Stevens, Miss Taylor, Mrs. Winstanley and the other performers, were all excellent in their parts. Mr. Hamblin is acting finely during this en- gegement. And the series of elegant and classic pieces in which he appears every evening, ought to bs seen by all true lovers of the higher walks of the drama We are glad to see that the patronage bestowed on the Bowery of late has been great; it is one of the most fa- vorite houses in the Cooney and the reputation it has acquired in former times will always be upheld by the present management. The beautifal dancing of Sig- nora Ciocca and Signor Neri, and the ing little comedy of “ Charles II.’ concluded the @vening’s en- tertainments. To-night Coleman's splendid play of the ‘, Iron Chest,” will be performed—Mr. Hamblin taking the part of Sir Edward Mortimer. Dancing by Ciocca and Neri, the farce of the “Loan of a Lover,” and‘Tom Cringle’s Log,’ compose the rest of the bill. Mrs. Winstantey, Miss Taylor, J. M. Scott Hall, Duff, &e., Broapway Tueatne.—The inclemency of the weather and other causes, operated in producing a thin attendance last evening, notwithstanding the great attraction of Mr. Collins in two characters, Me- Shane, in the “Nervous Man,” and Rattler, in “How to Pay the Rent.” The pieces went off very well, how- ever, and the audience were highly delighted, as must all be who see Mr. Collins in either of those parts. The extraordinary success which attended his ap: pearance during the past week, though more extraor- dinary, after the plethoric houses which Mr. Forrest continued so long to draw, has induced the mauage- ment to re-engage him, and several popular Irish pieces are im course of preparation This evening, Gore’s comedy of ‘ing O’Neil,’’ and the farce of the “Irish Post,” are to be pressated; Mr. Collins in the principal parts. The former piece ‘8 one of great inte- rest and humor; and the blunders of Terence O’Grady,in the “Irish Post,” are conceived in the richest vein of merriment. Mr. Collins sings several capital songs in the course of the evening. National Tueatnr.—A new version of the very popular novel, “ La Esmeralda,” was produced at this house last evening, before a very crowded house, The story of the novel is somewhat altered, of course, in order to suit it for stage representation; but it still preserves all that thrilling interest which Victor Hu- o's masterpiece possesses in such an eminent degree, iiss Mestayer personaied Esmeralda. Her figure and style are not exactly what one would fancy of the Bo- hemian girl, but her excellent acting of the part made up ivz this, She bas soveral pretty ballads in the course of the picce and allof thi: were much ap- plauded, P2tiner, as Captain Phobus, the bright star of Esmeralda’s thoughts, played well; and the Bell- ringer, Quasimodo, was finely playod by Mr. Jones. Mr. McLean's Gudule was much applauded. The scenery and general getting up of the piece was very fine, and the dances, tableaux, &c., which were so beautifully done, elicited long and continued applause. The © Mysteries and Miseries *? followed next—it was as rich and racy as usual, and the various cccen‘ricities of More, Sykesy, Co. were as prolific in entertain- ment ascver. To-night “Esmeralda” will be again erformed, as aleo the © the farce of “Catching an # bill. The house will be cro Binton'’s Turarne.—A drama, new in our city, called “The Toodles, or the Farmer’s Daughter,” was The chief charac_ ter, Mr. Timothy Toodie, was played by Mr. Burton, himself, in such a masterly style as to throw all the others in the shade. The houge was, in fact, kept in an incessant fit of uproarious laughter. The conclusion of the piece was accidentally more comic than any of the intended comicalities it contains, Three couple embrace euch other on the stage; the farmer and his brother, (Mr. Lynne and Mr. Jordan.) on their recoaciliation, the daughter and her lover, (Mr. Grace, and Mrs. A. Knight.) and Mr. Toodles and his wife, (Burton and Mrs. Vernon.) When they, therefore, all six embraced each other, in the proper couples, and the curtain thould have dropped and closed the loving scene, the curtain, from some accident to the machin- ery, again and again refused to budge from its fixture up aloft. The involuntary prolongation of the em- braces of the three embracing coupler, was, in this state of suspense, highly amusing. especially that of | Mr. and Mrs, Tcodle, who both enhanced the drollery of their position by a great amount of extem; neous fan. e¢ laughter of the audience was-thus auc- mented by the skill with which the inéident was | turned into an additional extemporameous comic | scene. Mr. Burton, being called out by tumultuous | plaudits, made a little speech. feplete with fun and rit, in reference to the ‘cident. It was quite a bit. Fe ankure of “yptain Cuttle” followed, in which jack Bune’ (Mr. Brougham), and Captain Cuttle, ‘M”. Burten), both drew down reiterated thunders of well merited applause from a house, even on such a tempestuous night as last night was, yet crowded to the roef. Sucn is the reward of good management, excellent Lege and first-rate perform The ey iss Sinclair performed most sweetly and beautifully Sarah Blunt in “ Poor Piilicoad: we think 6) would succeed in higher parts. As for Burton, and ond, &e.; also, Mra. | Brougham, Mrs. Vernon, Mrs. Loder, &c., they need no mention whatever. The increasing rush of the public to this well conducted theatre is the best erifique upon the excellence of these most excellent and admirable performers. | Nivio’s Tuearre.—It was truly exhilarating, last \ night, to witness what is really a novelty in the pre- sent etate of the drama, the whole of one of Shak- performed throughout, with o cast such as seldom | have met together to do more justice, individually and | parroach ode f to the historical play of that name.

Although it is now more than ten years since we saw him in the same character, | with infinite success, upon an occasion that attracted the largest audience that ever filled the late National | Theatre, l-merited and hope f preciated tribute to the falente and enterprise of Mr. Hackett The part of Poins was well identified in Mr. Charles, as | were the of Francis, by Mr. T. Placide, and first | Carrier, by Chippendale e bady Percy of Miss | Horn, and the Hostess of Mrs. Charles, were received with much tires The whole performance was | distinguished by an unusual array of professional talent, The farce of the “ Eton Boy” followed the tragedy with the same success that has marked each repetition of an entertainment that developes the pre- dominent features of Miss Dickinson’s male repre- | sentations to great effect. This evening will be the last appearance of Mr. T. Placide, and we need | roarcely remind the citizens of New York that, on ‘Wednesday, Mr. Macready will it before them in “Macbeth,” with a oast admirably and judiciously | selected. Srnaxoscn’s Granp Concent.—This yal, which has been announced for some off last evening, at the Tabernacle, before of at least four thousand persons. The overture to « Egmont,”’ by the orchestra, was well received; but to our mind we rf we often heard an orchestra of a lesser number give meral satisfaction The ro- mance of “Guido et Ginevra,”’ by M. Laborde. was executed very pleasingly. The nudicnce were next in expectation of hearing Signor TuM and Signora | Pico, in the duo “ Semiramide;” but much to their | surprise and ditappointment an apology was made, stating that Madame Pico wassick. This caused rome diseatisfaction, until Madame Laborde was introdused, who sang an aria from “Ji Barbiere di Siviglia,” which | was rendered with great sweetners and musical skill. Mies Northall then sang an English ballad, “ The | Swallows,’ and her sweet tones and unaflecte1 me- thod called forth, as usual, repeated cheers The grand | © finale, first act of * Linda de Chamounix.” was then sung by SignorinaTruff,Signori Dabruel and Rossi,with | foll chorus; it is almost unnecessary to say it reorived all the artistic akill and finish for which these eminent | artists are dietingwished Between the c\esr, pure Bo promo of Trum—the rich, round tenes of Dabrael’s | | ton str Mth. | tween Kingston and Montreal 1d the deep vo! harmony was preserved The celebrated Concert Siiick. bi ch @ splendid composition, and was played with h artistic excellence, that it was loudly cncored.— Le pré aux Cleves.” by Madame Laborde, evidenced excellent tuition and skilful mansgement of voice. The trio. by Tru Benedetti, and Rossi, from “ Lucre- xin Porga.” drew forth the loudest cheers, In fine, the drawback. occasioned by bal management, was fully made up by the exertions of the distinguished artists engaged for theoceasion. ‘The Lieducrans, wn- der Jules Hecht, acquitted themselves very pleasingly, and all parsed off with great eclat. Crnisty’s Minstaecs are fairly under way, and will, no doubt, “ run like the cholera.” to use rather a famous expression. They are in as fine voice and sing. dance and joke with all the excelle which this very talented band is so famous. It seems like old timgs once more to have them among us though they may have been triamphantly su wherever they have sung during their late tour, they can never meet with warmer supporters than the New vor public. To-night they will give an excellent Castrnet.’s Mixstrers.—These excellent singers are doing wonders in the way of attracting audiences, t after night, rain or shine, fair weather or foul, their room is crowded, and the long-continued applause which their songs, kc., elicit, are just tributes to theit exeellence. 'y will give a number of their newesr and best songs to-night. Those who wish to hear most admirable singing, cannot do better thanjto visit the Campbell’s Minstrels’ concerts. Messas, Miantent ann Levasseun’s very elegant en- tertainments are all the rage now-a-duys. The scien- tific attainments of these gentlemen enable them to present most amusing exhibitions, and those who visit them will have no cause to regret the step. Besides the beautiful entertainments which they have hitherto given, to-night a most amusing French vaudeville will be played. It is the original version of the famous “Lady and Gentleman in @ Peculiarly Perplexing Situation.” Travian Ovens in Purtapetenia.—On Wednesday evening, the season opens for three weeks at the Ches- nut, with a powerful and most efficient company, a chorus of fifty performers, and an orchestra of an equal number of instruments. Bellini’s “ Norma” is chosen for the first opera, with Truffl asthe Dyuidess, Bene- detti as Pollio, and Valtellinaas Oroveso. The musical director is M.

Mititia Trarxixc.—Yesterday was the day set apart for the general training of the ununiformed militia, but, in consequence of the storm, there were very few who pazadcd. There were several companies out, how- ever, and really they were a bright specimen of citizen soldiery. The companies were composed of people of every nation and tongue, and one would suppose, to look at them, that they were familiar with Chinese, or some other unbeard of tactics. Many were without guns, SDd about one-half were almost without the necestary garments to cover them, and the cold rain | caused a general shivering among the troops. Had the day been fine, there is every probability thousands of the most untutored soldiers would have appeared In all the gorgeousness of military display.
