There is | scarcely a petty German principality that is not more ably represented near foreign governments. Our diplomatic system 1s all wrong--radically de- | fective, and defective in almost every branch and detail. There is no lack of diplomatic talent in the country; on the contrary, there 1s a supera- bundance of it; but the system which at present prevails in the selection of men to represent us at | the seats of foreign governments preciudes the employment of this talent, and nothing could be | devised better calculated to make us despised abroad. This system, framed when the Union consisted of but thirteen States, is continued now that it consists of thirty, and 1s as unsuitable to our present growth, as would be the swathing clothes of an infant toa man of mature age. It was tramed, too, at atime when we only began to Jearn the rudiments of republicanism; when we had net yet unlearned the errors and prejudices of monarcliism and aristocracy; and 1s one of the few features in our institutions which have not kept pace with the advancing spint of democracy. When this government was founded, there was no such thing in existence as republican diplomacy; and the consequence was, that we were forced to adopt a system fashioned on the model of the muserable, hackneyed, knavish aristocracies of benighted Europe—benighted, not in arts and seiences, but in regard to the relations that ought to exist between the governors and the governed. Accordingly, our present diplomatic system 1s an utter anomaly, and a sad defect in our otherwise glorious institutions. It is true that to this evil should be applied a thorough, sweeping, and radical eure; and for effecting this cure, there is no time more appro- priate than that which approaches, when, by the | solemn judgment of the American people, we are | about to witness a change of rulers. We have three species of diplomatic representa- tives—the minister plenipotentiary, at a salary of | nine thousand dollars ; the minister resident, at a | walary of six thousand ; and the charge «affaires, ata salary of four thousand five hundred. (The | commissioner is a special officer, and may rank as | either minister plenipotentiary, minister resident, or charge, as occasion may require.) The charge @affaires is an anomalous rank, and should be totally abolished, except in 1ts original use, which was altogether special and temporary. It was, originally, an officer delegated by the minister to act for him m his absence. Our ministers pleni- potentiary are mere ministers resident. They have not, and ought not to have, full powers. They cannot close any negotiation without consulting their government, nor can they act atall, in any weighty aflair, on their own responsibility. The munister resident is vested with as much power as | the minister plenipotentiary, the only difference "ONE DAY LATER FROM EUBOPE. | The splendid packet ship Waterloo, Capt. Allen, arrived yesterday morning from Liverpool, whence she sailed on Sunday, the 29th ult., one day after the ocean steamship America. She was sixteen days to off Nantucket Shoals, and three days thence to this port, with light westerly winds and calms. This 1s a very short passage. She brings twenty-six passengers in the cabin, and three hundred in the steerage. Annexed is a list of the cabin passengers :— EF, Shelton and lady, London; A, Hamilton and lady, Toronto; W. Kirby and lady, Cork, Ireland; Mrs. L. L. Lynne, three children and servant, Liverpool; G. L. Thatcher, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Gogiia, Paris; G. F. Mountain, Brooklyn, N. Y.; E.G Lyford, Mrs. M. Fletcher, Liverpeol; James Jones, Edinburgh; R. Waite and two children, Wm, Brown, R. Yeodale, W. Robinson, Robt. James, and J. James, lady, and two children, London. Three hundred in the steerage. The annexed items are not, strictly speaking, all new ; but they give some items of importance, more in detail than before published. The Diet of Vienna, or some influential parties in power, huve betrayed the people who effected thedate insarrection, While an affected negotiation with the Emperor wasin the ti rare concent ing round the city, and the Hun denied the privi- lene of entering Austria, Of this uth complains, Vienna is certain to fall, and then the fate of Hungary THE ELECTION RETURNS. Note of New York. The returns, official and unofficial, received at Albany, according to our telegraphic report, from 48 of the 59 counties of the State, give the following result of the vote for Presidential Elec- tors, compared with 184, viz. - 1848, —-—— Taylor. - 188,571 Clay.

The eleven counties to come in are as follows, with their vote tor President in 1844:— is eealed for the present. ‘The Emperor has issued a proclamation, which is directed against the radical party. More than a hundred thousand persons have fied irom Vienna The last rumor was that the city wan formally beleaguered, The armistice between Piedmont and Austria has been prolonged. According to the Breslau Gazette, the news had been received that peace was concluded with Italy. under the mediation of Englend and France—Low. bardy sti'l to belong to Austria, but to have s separat constitution, and its nationality acknowledged. The German troops are to be withdrawn from Italy. This is important —if true. The French ministry have had another victory. Great efforts were made by the clubs to have the e tion of President postponed until after Christm and evil consequences were apprebended; but, oo: trary to all anticipation, the National Assembly, on Thursday hebtorige 3 came to s vote on the subject. Of the 819 present, 587 voted for the election on the 12th set down the day as the 10th, instead of the 12th.— December, and 282 against it. Our previous accounts set down the day as the 10th instead of the 12th Spurious Drugs anp Mepicines.—Dr. Edwards, of Ohio, Chairman of the Select Committee of the House, which reported the medicine bill pass- ed at the last session ot Congress, has been spend- ing two or three days in our city. The faculty of New York, at their annual dinner a few days since at the Astor House, expected the presence of the doctor as an invited guest ; but {rom an un- expected delay, he did not arrive in season to participate in this agreeable re-union of the pro- fession. The billof last Congress provides for a special inspection of drugs and medicines arriving in the ports of the United States, and for the rejection ot all spurious articles. We are glad to learn that the medical profession are pleased with the safe- guards of the bill; and that with a view to render it as efficient as possible, Dr. Edwards has been visiting the apothecaries and physicians of our principal seaports, for the good object of acquiring such information as may be useful in rendering his bill a permanent sanitary law. Another ad- vantage of the act, in addition to arresting the traf- fic in spurious medicines, is, as we are apprised, an increase of the revenue from medical importa. tions. It may, also, be a matter of interest to the uni- versal panacea inventors and dealers in quack medicines for the cure of all imaginable diseases, to be informed that Dr. Edwards contemplates in- troducing a bill into the House at the coming ses. sion, for the protection of the legitimate profes- sion, by requiring an analysis of all nostrums for which a patent may be asked, and a decision in their favor respectively by competent medical men, according ‘to the established facts of medical science. The doctor has gathered a mass of information | relating to the business of the importation andsales | of medicines 1. the United States, which will» doubtless, be embedied in a report to the House. | We wish the gentleman success in his laudable efforts to secure, for the benefit of the faculty and the afflicted, genuine medicines, in lieu of the worthless drugs, and worse than useless poisons, which have entered so largely into the trade as to lead to the almost unanimous passage of the pro- hibitng act of the last session. Tue Great Poniican Festiva at tue Irvine Hover.—We understand that the arrangements for the great political festival which 18 to take place on Tuesday next, at the Irving House, in celebration of the recent political victory, are being proceeded with as rapidly as possible ; and that it promises to be one of the most brilliant féves that has ever taken place in New York. It will be given, as we have already informed our readers, to the Hon. Millard Fillmore, Vice-President elect, and will be participated in by a number of distinguished politicians. Tne Steamsuir Saran Sanps, Capt. Isley, for | Liverpool, came to anchor at the S. W.

The same may be said of the charge d’affatres. | We would have the latter grade abolished | altogether, as it exists at present, and would have three species of diplomatic agency instituted—the | ambaseador, or’ minister plenipotentiary, a specia! office, to be filled whenever the settlement | of grave questions requires an extraordinary | Mission ; the resident minister, a permanent posi tion, to be substituted in every case where there | are at present full missions; and consuls general, to be invested with ordinary diplomatic powers and to reside wherever a full mission is unneces sary. The salary of an ambassador should be a | least fifteen thousand dollars; of a minister resi dent, twelve; and of a consul general, six. Thus, there should be but two permanent missions, that of the minister resident, and of the consul general. ‘The present salaries of our diplomatic agents are too small. No man can aflord to accept a mission to apy of the larger States of Europe who as not sufficiently wealthy to spend at least double the amount of his salary. In Paris and London, especially, our ministers are compelled to main- tain a lavish expenditure. It 18 too bad that, for the sake of a few thousand dollars, the digmity of this nation should be lowered abroad, and that the representatives of every small State in urope should be enabled to take preeedence of our ministers. But what tends more than all to jeopard our reputation abroad, 1s the mode of selecting our representatives. Our ministers are generally ap- pointed becauee of their political services to the party in power, and not from any special apititude for the mission, or any experience or talent in diplomatic aflairs. This is all wrong. We area present disgraced by this system, and it would be well that several ot our :epresentatives chiould be re placed by men who are somewhat conversant, at least, with the common rudiments of diplomacy. ‘This should be one of the firet duties of the incom- ing administration. Our diplomatic system requires 4 thorough reorganization, and we hope, ere long, | Stanton—the | latter places, during a heavy norther om the night of | Mr. Buchanan will visit his home, in Lancaster, the present week, and remain several days.

Taylor’s vote inthe 11 counties to come in, equals that of Gov. Young in 1846—say 28,674— his total vote in the State will be over 217,000. About 30,000 democratic and abolition votes in these 11 counties are to be divided between Cass and Van Buren--the largest proportion to Van Bu- ren, so that their united vote will be about 223,000; Van Buren probably coming out ahead of Cass. The combined vote of the two candidates against Gen. Taylor will, therefore, show a majority against him of 11,000, which is a whig gain since 1844, of about ten thousand—the majority of Polk and Birney over Clay having been 2),915.

We have heard from all the counties except Jackson Mason, Braxton, Nicolton, Gilmer, and Dodridge, which leaves Taylor 500 to gain from them, in order to recure his election The result still continues very doubtful. Gen. Cass has probably carried the State by aemall majority. The accounts received disagree, and are, in some pointe. contradictory.

Miscellaneous Political Intelligence. THE FOURTH OF MARCH--INAUGURATION DAY. We copied a few lines, the other day, haying rofer- ence to fact that the next 4th of March, imaugu- ration of the President of the United States, would fallon Sunday, which had but once before occurred since the adoption of the present Constitution, viz., in 1821—and would not oce gain until 1877. A writer in the New York Evening Pe sliuding to these remarks of the Intelligencer, says “I have seen statements similar to the above in va- rious papers during the past year or two, and | belleve they are all wrong; for, unless | am strangely out of the way in my reckoning, the 4th of March ‘came’ on Sunday inthe years 175, 1799, 1804, 1810, 1821, 1827, 1832, and 1838; and ‘will come’ in the years 1849, 1855, 180@, 1866, 1877, 1583, 1588, and 1804. In other wor the 4th of March ‘comes’ on Sunday at intervals of 6, 6,6 and 11 years.”” ‘The writer in the New York paper forgets that the question is not how often the 4th of March, Pat talls on Sunday; for everybody must know that it fa!! on Sundey as often as any other da the month; but the question ow often does that 4th of March which is inauguration day, fall cn Sunday? and it will be seen that not one of the years which the writer in the ee mentions, except 1821. 1549, and 1577 is avguration year. ive find, ov exemination, thet the statement in the Traveller of Monday, that the inauguration of the Prevident of the United States falls once in about nday, is not strictly correct. t, it is obvious that ts, the third, &c.; butit is not the case that every fourth -year is a leap year; 1800 was not, and 1000 will not be and the cycle ie therefore interrupted.

Pars Tueatax.—The performance ef “ Edith” was repeated at the Park Theatre last evening, and was received, as on former occasions, with the most enthu- siastic marks of approbation. We can say no more in praise of the acting in this piece thau we have already said. Theetory assumes new interest when seen in light which it receives as dramatized at the Park.

Bowery TueatRe,—The bill at this house, last eve- ning, was one of the best that has been presented this | season; and the large audience present evinced the greatest satisfaction at the performances, by their long-repeated applause. It was composed of no less than four different entertainments, viz: a domesti® drama, an Irish farce, an Ethiopian concert, and the new historical drama of the “ Artizan of Ghent.” The first piece was the “ Maid and the Magpie,” as in- teresting a play as there is on the stage; and Miss ‘Weymes's acting of the part of Annvtte, who so nearly falis @ victim to circumstantial evidence, was most admirably done. The plot of this piece is 50 universally known that we need not enter into detail about it, merely noticing the cepitel acting of the va- rious performers who sustained the different charac- ters, Wivans, Jordan, Stevens, Hall, Duff, and the rest, all aoted their parts well. Mr. Williams, in the Irish farce of the “ Limerick Boy,” displayed his comi- calities to much tage; a New Orleans Serenaders, as usual, elicited immense applause. The drama of the “ Artizanof Ghent” went of with much spirit. and the curtain fell before an audience well satisfied with thrir evening’s amusement. To-morrow evening @ most interesting mew drama will be pro- duced it is entitled “Rose Clinton, or the Seam- strees of London.” Broapway Turatre.—The last appearance of Mr. Forrest. at this beautiful theatre, iast night, drew together a crowded house. He appeared in his celebra- ted character of Jack Cade, in the deep tragedy of the same name, and was received with acclamations of de- light by the whole audience. The true spirit of the patriot was most beautifully portrayed. In the scene where he vows to free the peasantry, he manifests a de- termination which draws down the involuntary ap- plauee of the whole house; but after having been cap- tured, together with his wife, Marianne, (Miss F, Wal- lack,) and making his escape, he seems most happy until the thought rushes to his mind that his wife is yet in captivity. While making the preparations for the march against the castle, bis wife appears a ma- nike, brought on by having murdered Lord Cliffor (Mr. Dyott,) who dared an attempt to violate her, ani ake ber his wife. On being epptised of-her daring the grief which had before clouded his brow fled, and he buret into an extacy of delight. This scene was acted with ruck effect as to cause many an eye to wee; )) and the thundering applause which followed moat truly evinced its cordial reception. Miss Fanny Wallaok sustained her part in a style thet would reflect eredit upon the most finished actress on the stage. She is a great favorite, and most justly, for she is inferior to none in her line, The drama of “Don Cwsar de Be- san’ followed, in which Mr. Lester, in his usual beau- tiful style, played the part of Don Cwsar de Bazan. The piece was well cast, and played with good effect, Next week new attractions will be offered. which can- Rot fail to Keep tho house filled to overtiowing every night. Nationa Turatne.—Mr. J. R. Scott has played most acceptably at this house during the past week, and the large audiences that have gathered together every evening to witness his acting, show that the po- pularity which he enjoys has not diminished a whit, Mr. Scott is a most intelligent and judicious actor. His fault (for what actor is altogether free of faults?) is a tendency to too much energy of voice and gestiou- lation, in the more impassioned portions of the parts he playe: otherwise, he is most excellent. The Na- tional Theatre numbers som cellent actors in its company—Dawes, McFarland, Burke, Jones—and now we perceive there is an addtion to their strength in Mr. Tilton, who last evening made his first appoar- ance at this house. We arepersuaded, from what we have een of Mr. Tilton’s acting elsewhere, he will ‘ove quite a favorite with any audience before whom e pl New York as it is’’ still continues to run ® triu ant career. C! u’s Mose nightly de- ghts the audience, and Burke, as Joe, has made quite abit. During the coming week, several novelti-s will be produced at this house, and the frequenters of it may be sure that Chanfrau will not allow any one to outdo him in furnishing rational entertainmentsto his atrons. Great preparations are being made at this i jeatre for a day performance on Thanksgiving day: Burton's TueatRe,—This little theatre continues to present as amusing and varied a series of enter- tainments as could be desired. Last night the amus- ing burletta of the “Winterbottoms” was the first piece, and though little can be said for the incidents or the plot, it went off with great applause, owing to the admirable acting of Mrs. Vernon, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Raymond, who sustained the principal cha- racters. This was followed by a p: eul by Miss ‘Walters, who acquitted herself with her usual and ability, and was encored. To this succeeded the comic piece of the “ Pas de Fasctna- tion, or Catching a Governor,’ which was re- ceived, as on former occasions, with eral approba- tion. Miss Chapman Clicited great laughter and ap- plauee by the admirable and comical manner in which she trampled upon all established etiquette, and borri- the courtiers, She was quite s Lola Montes in her . Mr. Frederick Mise Walters then danced a de deur,” which was exceedingly well executed, next piece was the laughable farce of the “IrishEn- gagement,”’ in which Mr. ugham as Tom Rafferty kept the house in a continued roar of laughter. The entertainments of the evening were concluded with the laughable burlerque tragedy of Metamora,” or the last of the Pollywogs. For amusement and variety, as well ae admirable acting, Burton maintains the posi- tion he has won since the opening of the Theatre. Cunisty's Minstaris.—The pepularity of these singing philosophers is of no ephemeral kind, as their continued success for now near fifteen months prov Bed after night their rooms are crowded with mo: faskionable audiences, and their music is so excellent that the most scientific professors find deiight in lis- tening to it.

Destavetive Fines.—At about one o'clock, this morning, a destructive fire broke out in the extensive stables of Mr. Murphy, on the corner of Twenty eighth street and Third avenue, which destroyed the rtubles and allthe adjoining buildings—the church, ®chool-house, &c.&e, An estimate of the loss of pro- perty by this fire, of course, can not be arsived at, as our reporter had to leave it in the height of its fury and run to another, which broke out on the corner of the Bowery and Broome street, which extended and destroyed two adjoining housee on the Bowery, and on Broome street the flames destroyed all the houses, whieh were old frame buildings, until it reaches the church of the Rev. Dr. Cone, which was on fire at time of our going to press. P.S. At three o'clock, the City Hall bell gave the alarm tor a fire in the second district. Mapvam Resteu.—The public attention has been attracted, lately, to the case of this person, in conse- quence of # question raised in relation tothe period at which her imprisonment shall cease. On the llth of November, 1847, she was sentenced toimprisonment im the penitentiary for the term of one year. Hor counsel brought a writ of error from the Supreme Court to the Cou:t of Sessions of this city, in which the bad been convicted, Judge Edmonds, one of the Judges cf thé Supreme Court, gave an order staying the execution of the sentence of the Court of Sessiens. Under this order, Madam Restell was conveyed by the Sheriff of the city of New York, from the Tombs, in Centre street, exclusively used for the detention of criminals, to the prison in Eldridge street used for the safe keeping of persons detained on civil process. There the prisoner remained for several months, during which time her case was heard before the Superior Court and decided against the prisoner, and the Sheriff ordered to execute the sentence of the Court of Ses- sions, Thereupon, a writ of error was taken from the Court of Appeals tothe Supreme Court. Into that tribunal of last resort, the record of the Supreme Covrt was removed. On solemn argument in that Court, in which the District Attorney of this city was heard on the part of the people, and counsel for prisoner on her bebalf, the judgment of the Supro Court was affirmed, and the record remitted back the Supreme Court, The District Attorney entered arule by crder of the Court, stating all the facts of the prisoner's conviction, the stay of proceedings, the affirmance of the judgment in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, and directing the Sheriff of the city of New York to proceed to execute the sentence of tho Court of Sessions. This order was delivered tothe Sheriff of the city, The prisoner, aware of the decision of the Court of Appcals, was, at her own request, before the session of the Supreme Court, conveyed by the Sheriff to the prison at Blackwell’s Island. On entering that prison @ copy of the original sentence, dated Novem- ber 11, 1847, was delivered to the keeper. Another, » day or two after, and so soon as it could be made—the order above referred to of the Supreme Court was en- tered and served on the Sheriff. The District Attorney also served on the keeper of the penitentiary, Mr. Acker, s copy of the order. Some time during the past eummer the District Attorney visited the peni- tentiary, and on inquiry of the keeper as to the period of the prisoner's imprisonment he was informed that the should be rele: on the 11th November, 1848, thus giving to the prisoner all the benefit of the delay she hereelf had obtained by legal proceedings. The District Attorney informed the keeper that the revised sta-~ tutes had provided that, when a stay of execution was granted the sentence was expressly suspended, and that her sentence was to serve one yearin the peni- it if she was released by him under that period steps would be taken to vindicate the law. © The ides of March have come and gone.” Tho 11th day of November, 1848, has passed, and the papers have been filled with rumors as to madam’s release. The District Attorney has despatched a police oflcer to Blackwell's Isjand to inquire whether or not the prisoner is thei nd Mr. Acker has declined to an- ewer whether she is or not. We have been informed that the counsel for the Sheriff, (Mr. Biunt,) has de~ clined to advise Mr. Acker to release the prisoner, stating that ber proper course is to issue process of habeas corpus, and let the courts decide the question. Mr. Acker bas not been satisfied with this decisions but, anxious to relieve our prisons, has passed over the counee! of the Sheriff aud the District Attoravy of the city, end has invoked the opinion of the Attorney General, (Mr. A. L, Jordan.) as to the point, Thac gevtleman has not replied as yet.
