State of Europe.—The Last News. The continent of Europe, as it 18 pictured to us by the intelligence received by the steamship Cambria, at this port, 1s in an exceedingly interesting condi- tion. The spirit of democracy, which His Hoh- ness Pope Pius the Ninth evoked and called into existence, is making its way onward, slowly it must be admitted, but not the less surely. In Germany its progress is not so rapid as might be desired; but to be healthy and sound, it must not be too rapid. It will have many fierce struggles with despotism before it is finally triumphant; but the Jonger those collisions are deferred, the less bloody which have been occasioned in that part of the world by the republic of the United States, within a few years, and at will be seen that great as they have been, they are much intggior to those which the French republic will create in the same quarter. The permanent establishment of a republic in France, will be the death-warrant of every mo- narchy in Europe. ADMINISTRATION oF Criminat Justice—Recor- per Scort—Tux Law or Baw.—Those who re- collect the administration of criminal justice in this city, previous to the adoption of the new con- stitution, and the intreduction of the ballot box for the appointment of our judges, will not soon forget the odium which attached to it for a series of years, in relation to the matter of taking and giv- ing bail, and particularly in connection with a cer- tam system of bailmg which was known as “straw bail.” Since the great popular revolution took place in the State of New York, which ended in the formation of the new constitution, the Legisla- ture has been effecting, to a greater or less extent, similar changes 1n the laws, and giving a homo- geneousness to the institutions which have since been erected. During the session of 1846, a very important law was enacted in reference to the ad- miaistration of criminal justice, and particularly to the mode of giving bail or committing prisoners on criminal charges brought before any eommit- ting magistrate. In that law we find the following section :— No officer, other than the committing magistrate shall let to bail any person charged with a criminal offence, unless notice of the application to bail such Perron shall have been gi to the district attor: of the city amd county of New York before such application, specifyi Officer, the time and place whe: plication will be made, and dence of the proposed bail, and the original commit- ment and upon which it is founded shall have been presented to the officer to whom the appli- cation for bail is made. The persons having the custody of such commitment and,proofs, shall, when required in writing, produce the same before the officer last mentioned.—Session Law of 1846, page 408, section 8, chap. 302, We also find the following clause condensed from 2 Revised Statutes, part 4, chap. 2, title 2:— It is made the absolute duty of the magistrate be- fore whom the prisoner is brought, first to examine the complainant in the presence of the prisoner under oath, and all other witnesses that might appear against him, and then to examine the prisoner not under oath, and all the witnesses in his defence under oath; after which, itit shall appear an offence has been com- d mitted, and the party charged guilty, the magistrate may then, and not before then, let the secured to bail. Any bond taken for the ey aes of the pri- soner, not in conformity with the law above recited, is utterly void.—.Abridged from Revised Statute, Part 4th, Chapter 2nd, Title 2nd. Now in taking these clauses of the laws in ope- ration together, and applying them to a certain case reported in our police intelligence, to-day, it appears that Recorder Scott, in bailing two per- sons by the name of Martin, charged with grand larceny, and arrested on a warrant issued by Justice Lothrop, has by no means conformed to them, as they are laid down in the statute book of this State. The two women, Martina, were ar- Tested on the charge of grand larceay, and brought before Justice Lothrop. Bail was offered, but it was deemed insufficient by the Justice, and they were accordingly committed to prison for a fur ther examination. A few hours after this had been done, it seems .tecorder Scott, on the ap- plication of counsel, admitted the prisoners to bail, without giving the legal notice for the application of such bailing to the District Attorney, or com- municating m any manner with the committing Justice, as is plainly and clearly prescribed by the law of 1846, which was enacted to set aside the old system of straw bail, and the loose administration of criminal justice in these matters. ‘We have thus stated the facts and the law; and we think it necessary and proper for Recorder Scott, msome clear and candid method, to ex- plain his very extraordinary conduct in this par- ticular case, while he still remains on the bench and lese disastrous they will be. An attempt has been made to suppress it in Vienna; but the rotten ness of the body politic cannot be cured by stop ping one sore. Let it be tried, and the humors wil break out in some other place as they have recently done in Berlin, after the capitulation of Vienna The corruption of ages cannot be cured at once The renovating and curative spirit is at work, and will accomplish its destiny. Let no one, therefore, think that the capitulation of the city of Vienna to the amperial troops is an end to the progress 0 republicanism in Germany. From France the intelligence is interesting and important. The beautiful and chaste column of republicanism, which the people of that country, through the guidance and wisdom of their repre. gentatives in the National Assembly, have been erecting since last February, 1s nearly finished. Its broad and beautiful proportions are seen by all Europe, and it needs but the cap stone to have it complete. The new constitution has come from the hanas ot its tramers, by whom it was adopted by the triumphant and almost una- nimous vote of 739 to 30. The inconsiderable vote againat it argues that it will be as acceptable to ‘and receive the sanction of the french people as fully as it did that of the National Aesembly. The English journals--the Times especially—are not much pleased with this important document. They carp and find fault with its provisions, and seophecy its inadequacy for the purposes for which it was framed. They assert that there will be no enjoyment of constitutional law under it. Let them continue to find fault; it 18 their mission to Upderrate the French republic—to misrepresent. and to hate, everything connected with it. Wha, other course could be expected of them? They pave to do the dirty work of their masters, the aristocracy, who have fed and fattened on the oppression of the masses ; and when they see the masees rise in their might, and destroy their oppressors in a neighboring country, could it be expeeted that their conduct towards the move- ment would be actuated by any but selfish mo- tives, and a desire to bring it into disfavor, so as to prevent a similar one being made at home? But Jet them go on—the giant republic cannot be affected by its puny opponents and ill-wishers on the other side of the Channel. The power which | they affect to despise is the same which will crush | hem, which they know weil, and hence these ex- | hibitions of ill-will, and their predictions of | ailure. Ot the candidates before the people of France for the Presidency, General Cavaignac and Prince Louis Napoleon are the most prominent. The chances of LouisN apoleon are thought to be the best It is not improbable that he will be elected to that. office, notwithstanding that he will be opposed by most of the conservative interest of the country.— | To equalize the opposition which he will meet from this quarter, he will have the strength of all the chivalry of the land, which constitutes his whole influence. Asa man of talent, or a legisla- tor, or statesman, his most ardent supporters do not consider him above mediocrity. If he be elected, 1t will be by the glory attached to his illus. qTious uncle, and to the grand empire of which he was the impersonation. Theelection of President as fixed for the tenth of next month. About the firat of the new year, we shall hear the result. On the whole, the prospect of France becoming a grand, powerfel, and permanent republic, was never better, or 60 good, as it is now, She has one more ordeal to pase through : that ie, the presi- dential election ; and the prayers and good wishes of the fnends of liverty will be, that she will pase through it safely. The election over, aud the President invested with executive powers, together with the conviction on the minds of the people, that cauee for revolution, except by means of the ballot box, is ewept away, and the republic of France willbe safe. Toe great influence which it will exert in Europe, cannot be over-estimated.— Every monaichy aud despotism on the Continent will be affected vy 11, and sooner or jater they must, in the nature of thinge, diseppear; for Murope can- ne tremaim in thraldom with thirty-five millions of OY AANA de Ie anal CU ibwbbig indo bbe Canin * ~ in this city. Onthe opening of the session for the ensuing term, Recorder Scott has already in- tumated that he will bring before the Grand Jury the recent alleged illegal conduct of Mr. Acker, in refusing him (Scott) and the District Attorney, to see certain convicts confined on Blackwell’s Island. In the uprightness of a Judge, and in con- sonance with his long established character for independence and honesty, we do expect that Re- corder Scott, standing up on the bench, will bring the conduct of Recorder Scott, sitting down in his chambers, deciding on the bail in the Martins caee, also before the Grand Jury, along side with that of Jacob Acker. Will he do so? Tne ENLARGEMENT oF THE BatreRy.—This pro- Ject is pressed upon public attention more and more vigorously every week, by ex-Alderman McElrath (of the Tribune), formerly of the Third ward, on the one hand, and on the other hand by Moses Y. Beach (of the Sum), formerly proprietor of three or four broken banks all round the coun- try. These worthy citizens, it seems, own some property near Greenwood Cemetery, and could con- veniently sell, at a high price, a vast quantity o free dirt, with which the extension proposed might be made; thereby putting latge sums of mo- ney into their own pockets, but taking that money from the pockets of the people. We are of opinion, however, that the specula- tions of this distinguished pair of patriots—the ex- alderman and ex-financier, par mobile fratrum— ought to cease from this time forward. when Al- derman McElrath was in the Corporation, he got Jobs enough out of that body, which were not strictly according to law; and when Mr. Beach was in the banking business, he broke banks and swindled the community sufficiently to satiefy any reasonable man. That portion of free soil owned by these gentlemen near GreenwoodjCemetery, should be retained in their own possession, and laid out in a proper way, so as to erect upon it a decent mausoleum for the repose of their ashes hereatter. The enlargement of the Battery, now proposed, would cost one million of dollars; and it is too much to ask this heavily taxed community to in- crease their debt and taxes, merely to satisfy the speculations of these disinterested patriots. This little explanation of the purposes of these gentle- men, discloses the motives of the interminable parographs and pufis on the Battery enlargement, which have recently filled the columns of the Sun and Tribune. Fittrxa ovr ror Conoress.—We understand upon good authority, that very considerable pro- | gress has already been made in the external im- provements which have been deemed necessary to fit out philosopher Greeley for Congress. Knox, of Fulton street—a sort of Napoleon among hat- makers—recently finished the hat—a new one—for the philosopher ; and we believe the member elect now wears it regularly in his daily perambulationa, as well asduring sleep. This hat is black in color —thus indicating a complete somerset in the com- plexion of this wearable, and exhibiting a faithful emblem of the corresponding gyrations in politics that have been lately gomg on in the philosopher's mind. Formerly, the member-elect wore a Ve- nerable white hat, from the beginning of the year to the end of it; and it will be in the recollection of all living men, that the nap, as long as it bad nap, was more obliged to the weather than the wearer, for its peculiar direction. Times, however, have changed. “ Ziempora mutantur, et nos muta- mur inillis” The white bat, with the unrulynap, has given place to the black hat, with the prodi- gious brim ; and if the exterior change had taken plece some time ago, it would have faithfully cor- responded with the complexion of the intenor change that the philosopher has latterly under- pone. Thus far the progress of fitting out a member for Congress has been noted. The coat, panta- joone, boots, and other human hangings, are in a considerable state of forwardness, and when | completed, it eball be our pleasing duty to an- vue bine day vitaid Loot to dae warlows public, Tue Travian Orgea—Woxse anv Worse.—We really believe that we shall have to take up the unfortunate affairs of Mr. Fry, and help hira out of his difficultie :, in spite of the many amiable efforts he has made to heap compliments of all kinds on our name and character. Unless something be done speedily, the Opera of the present season will burst, even sooner than the Opera of the last did, and ecatter its elements to greater distances, and along dirtier roads. Let us come to particulars. During the last week, the complaints against the Opera have been humerous; the tenors have been sick, the prima donpas were discontented, the bassos were affected with colds, the houses have been thin, the operas have been changed from night to night, and all things went topsy-turvey. Poor Benedetti has lost all the strength of lungs and rotundity of voice which he had been collecting on the beauti- ful hills of Hastings, during the last summer. He has been expending all his vocal powers in re- hearsals, instead ef keeping them for the fashtona- ble nights to please the haut ton, or on extra nights to astonish the vulgar. The beautiful, amiable and accomplished Truffi has declined performing Norma; and yet she 1s the only one of the whole troupe, or in this latitude, that can do justice to that extraordinary character. Madame Laborde, with much talent, considerable sprightliness, fine taste and grace, will never, we fear, be able to rise to the dignity and tragic strength of Norma in any theatre, or before any audience. During the last week, also, change has succeeded change; and even the grand gala night, advertised at vast expenee in the three or four pet journals of the,| manager, was indefinitely postponed. The relations between the manager and the ar- tists are not worse or mote belligerent, than those between the critics and the same distinguished Napoleon, Mr. Fry, in his other engagements to establish Italian Opera, and re-organize tashiona_ ble society in New York, had secured, by the usual quantity of oysters and champagne at nights; a certain amount of musical talent in the en- ticalline. That is to say, he had engaged certain amiable young gentlemen, who wore moustaches and sported white kid gloves, to write as he de- sired, in certain daily journa!s, and in some of the weekly ones. These amiable and industrious eritics, who are regularly paid with oysters and champagne, commenced a new game of manage ment, by writing paragraphs, and getting them 1n- serted, blowing up the artists who got sick, and stir- ring updissensions between the prima donnas, in order that Mr. Fry might be able to regulate those troublesome materials, by the very quarrels and rivalries which he originated in this way. This system has been exhausted, and the newspapers have become tired of such humbug. The only really good critic and independent wniter of the whole lot, who tavored Mr. Fry, was Mr. Trobri_ ant, of the French paper, and he has abandoned the field in consequence of the influence of Mr. Fry over the French editor of that journal. As there is nothing but sickness, loss of voice, refusals to perform, discontent among the troupe, thin houses, execrable extra nights, they all combine to prove that Mr. Fry’s system, commencing so plaumbly, and receiving such prodigious pufis, will turn out worse than even the system of last year did. Now we are sorry tor this, and we contemplate calling a meeting of the lovers of genuine opera and pure fashionable society, in some proper quarter, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it is not pos- sible to devise some plan to extricate the poor manager from his difficulties, to restore to Bene- detti his voice, to calm the sweet temper of Truffit to make peace among the combatants, to give in- fluence to the pufls of the critics,and fill the houses, solens volens, by some method or other. It3s very certain that the Opera, to succeed, must be located somewhere else than in Astor Place. If that house were filled every night, and crowded from top to bottom, it would hardly pay expenses, as the present establishment is conducted by Mr. Fry. American InpgrENpENcE Anroap.—The follow- ing pleasing incident in natioual courtesy occurred at Callao on the occasion of the celebration of the anniversary of American independence :—- The ship Zylon, of New York, fired, on the 4th of July, 1848, the national salute, in honor of the day, which was answered by the French brig-of-war Genie, in such a spirit of good will that the United States Vice Consul addressed the annex d letter to her commodore, handsomely ac- knowledging the compliment :— Catxao, 4th July, 1848, ‘With much pleasure did I witness the display of our national flag at the mast-head of your vessel, and this leasure was heightened at the sound of each gun fired by you in compliment to tl lag. I hereby retura thanks, from a warm heart, and this more as you condescended to return the salute of a merchaut ship. My sincere desire is, that the feelings which prompted you may ever exist between us. lam, most respectfully, yours, é 8. H. JOHNSON, Vice Consul of the United States of America.

Be not therefore surprised that | hastened to celebrate, as it deserved, the anniversary of the great @ay of American liberty and independance. Please, sir. receive the expression of my most sincere and cor- dial sentiments. DE GUIDON. Mr. J. H Jonnsox, Vice Consul of the United States of America, VenEzveLa.—The schooner Herculean arrived last mght, direct from Curacoa, which place she left on the Ist inst. The intelligence from Mara- caibo was to the effect that Gen. Paez’s party still held possession of the Castle, and had taken the town, which, however, was strictly blockaded bya strong force of government vessels. Gen. Paez was at Curacoa, waiting for vessels to attuck the fleet of Mon: Hayt Acary in Trovsix.—The President of his unsettled country has isaued a proclamation informing the people of Hayti that it 1s his inten- ion to send an army against the Spanish gart of the island, for the purpose of subjecting it to his rule, and on the 13th inst., an expedition was fitting out to proceed at once to the southward.

The character of Carlo will also be ably repre- sented by Miss Fanny Wallack, and the other parts will be sustained by the excellent stock company at- tached to this theatre. Mr. Murdoch is a very good actor, and a great favorite; and if the management continue to Beep such attraction before an American sudience, who will not be humbugged by the an- nouncement of men as stars, who have no claim to such position, either by ral or acquired abilities, ag il succeed in crowding their houses every night.

The very favorite extravaganza of the “Invisi- Ble Prinoe,”’ and the grand romantic drama of the “Spirit of the Waters,” which is always co welcome at the National, will conclude the entertainments. The “Invisible Prince” is one of the neatest extravaganzas we bave ever seen, and cannot be too often presented. Littie Mise Carline, the pretty dunseuse, will also ap- pear in the course of the evening Buanton’s Toeatex.—The great success of the ma- nagement of this theatre seems to impel Burton to ad_ ditional exertions, in order to please his numerous pa- trons, who have eo much admired his happy selections in suiting the testes of audiences, who desire light and amusing drametic representations.

Inthe afterpiece will be introduced reveral beautiful airs, which, in the hands of Miss Chapman, must gain for her additional favcrites among audiences she has #0 often delighted by her comic melodies. Broapwar Cracus.—The elegant equestrian enter- tainments at this establishment are well appreciated by the public, if one oan form ay opinion by the way {2 which the folks crowd every evening to witness the doings at the cirous. Mssers, Tryon and Thompson, to use rether a homely phrase, are doing s big business at the cirour; and as they have a first-rate company of performers, and = most admirably trained stud of horses, they are enabled to produce the most remarkable Ppertormaness ever seen in acircus. Besides the horse- manehip, there are various other entertainments, such as acrobat feats, comic pantomimes, beautiful ings, performances on the elevated cord, all, the clowns, Gossin and Gardner, kee; tinval fire of jokes and witticisms, Not the least tractive feature of this establishment is the very com- fortable manner in which visiters are accommodat as the building is thoroughly warmed throughout. Zooroaiwat Hatt.—The grand collection of ant. mals now exhibiting at this establishment is well worth visiting. They are all in most excellent health, and are the most favorable specimens of wild animals that we have ever seen in any exhibition The nsme of Van Amburgh has long been most favorably connected with all exbibitions of thiskind, and his long expe- rience and intimate acquaintance with the habits and wants of his charges, are guarantees of the perfection in which he keeps them. There are two exhibitions daily, vis.: from 1}¢ to 4, and 6 to 9 P, M.
