New York, Saturday, May 1 The Anniversaries, We are compelled to leave out several interest- ing reports of religious meetings, to make room for the sad details of the recent events at the Astor republic, has presented a protest to the govermmont against the expedition to Civita Vecchia. He deoiares that his government was willing to accept the media- tion of France; and the fact was made known to the French government on the 12th. The only answer he got was, that France could not negotiate with what did not exist—that Rome, so far as France was con- corned, was the Pope; that France interposed an order to prevent too violent revolution, in order that the p vucipie of Separation might be applied as largely as « in the administration of the State. Z se and consistency of Louis Napoloon have thus fur belied the predictions of his enemies, {and even the hopes of Lis friends. Ina recent conversation, he is stated to have said—* The legitimists have pro- tected me as a means of destroying the system which is closing around me; the red republic vcted for me to ave itself from the mar. tial law of Cavaignac, 1 hi been used as a wedge to keep up the rotten walls, and protect thom from falling on each other, They thought me a wedge of woud; they will find I am one of iron,?” lears continue to be expressed as to the fidelity of the army, among which the spirit of socialism is af- fined to prevail more extensively than is genorally admitted, As evidence of this fact, it is stated that the Orh regiment of light infantry, and the 52d regi- ment of the line, were ordered to quit,Paris on the 22d, at four hours’ notice, in consequence of some appear- ance of disaffection, Just before the squadron got undor way from Mar- scilles for Civita Vecchia, General Oudinot issued o Place Opera House. They will be published as soon as space will permit—perhaps to-morrow. California News. The Crescent City is fully due at this port from Chagres. It is probable she will bring us the news of the arrival of the steamer California at Panama, with several weeks later news from San Fran- 1sco. The Tragedy at Astor Piace. Mr. Macready’s farewell engagement has at ‘ength terminated. He and his baggage left the New York Hotel early yesterday morning. Sud- denly was closed one of the most extraordinary tragedies that ever distinguished theatrical annals on either side of the Atlantic. We hope that it will be a final, everlasting farewell engagement to all such exhibitions in this community, in this country, or in the civilized world. Springing from a contemptible and paltry quarrel between two im- pudent, conceited play actois, two riots have taken place, on separate evenings; and, in order to put down the latter émeute, some fifteen quiet and peaceable citizens of New York have been shot down in the streets, and twenty or thirty wounded, who are now stretched on the bed of suffering or of death. The awiul result is before the world. That re- sult has exhibited an enormous exhibition of civil and military power, called forth for a most paltry and inadequate cause. The original error sprung from the silly committee who called upon Macready to brave a discontented audience, after he had closed his engagement. By a series of blunders, beginning with that committee, the military and the mob were placed in hostile array to each other—the result is the death of more than a dozen of innocent people, and the wounding ef fifty more. What now is to be done? What is the next act in the drama? The military only obeyed legal orders. No blame can attach to them. Let the riotere—those scoundrels who pro- voked the military—those rascals taken in the act of violence—be punished to the utmost extremity of the law; and let all parties reflect seriously on their conduct, and avoid hereafter all such awful errors as have led to such terrible results. Let the peace and good order of the city be maintained at all hazards. We have much to say on this awful catastrophe, but we wait till the public mind can become calmer than it is at present. EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE Steamship Hibernia at Halifax. ONE WHEBEK LATER, RECEIVED BY SPECIAL OVERLAND EXPRESS, To St. John, New Brunswick, AND THENCE, TELEGRAPHICALLY TO THE N. Y. HERALD. State of the Markets, ARRIVAL OF SPHCIB, Ben, sie., ‘The news brought by the Hibernia was received yesterday, and a brief abstract published in our af- ternoon edition. Since then, more complete ac- counts have reached us. They are to be found in the annexed despatch. THE NEWS. Sr. Joun, Friday, May 11—-10 o'clock, A. M. ‘The Hibernia, Capt. Stone, with 43 through passen- gers, arrived at Halifax about five o'clock last evening bringing London papers to the evening of the 27th, and Liverpooi to the 28th ult., her day of sailing. Sho will probably arrive at her wharf, in Boston, about 6 o'clock on Saturday morning. ‘Weare under many obligations to the gontlomanly officers of the Hibernia, for their attention to our agent, who was wholly dependent on them for papors, as from some oversight none were received for salo at Halifax. ‘The steamer Niagara was seon from on board the Hli- bernia, one day out from Liverpool, and sho probably arrived in port at an early hour on the 30th ult. ‘The Boston packet ship Winthrop, arrived at Liver- pool on the 26th, in a passage of 18 days, The Ash- burton and Guy Mannering, arrived from New York on the 26th—the former in 17% days. ‘The amount of specie brought by the Hibernia, is ted to bo £83,000. Our special correspondent at Liverpool, has sent usa full report of the state of the markets. Engiand, ‘The fate of the navigation law is sealed. A majority of 61 has been obtained upon the third reading of the bill in the House of Commons, It is not likely to be rejected by the Lords. Father Mathew will positively sail for New York, in \he Ashburton, on th A of May. American Mali Steamers, Information was received at Liverpool, just previous to tho sailing of the Hibernia, that the American steamers Hermann and Washington, have obtained permission from the Danish government to carry pas- sengers and goods to and from Bromen, without search or detention of any kind. France, France continues tranquil, Tho expedition in aid of the Pope, sailed on the 22d, and arrived at Civita Veo. chia, and would immediately go to Rome, Itis said that M. Napoleon Bonaparte has been re- called, or rather dismissed frem Madrid ; certain it is, that he was known to be on his way to Parla M. poleon is reported to have protested against th dal intentions of France in the affairs of Rome. ‘The Journal des Debate announces that the French minister at Turin has been instructed by his govern- ment to encourage the King of Sardinia to reject the torms of peace attempted to be enforced by Marshal Radetsky. It adds that orders have boen forwarded to the Sardinian Admiral, Albini, to remain in the Adriatic until the existing difficulties have been removed. In tho Assembly, on the 234 ult,, the bill for indem- nifying the proprietors of slaves in the French colonies, passed to its sevond reading. ‘Tho bill allows six mil- Jions of france in the five per cont Rontes, and six mil- Hens of francs in money—one eighth part of the six millions of Rentes which govs to the colonies of Guada- lupe, Martinique, and the Island of Bourbon, is to go to the establishment of a bank in each of these evloniva ‘Tho sitting of the 24th was entirely occupied in con- sdering the bill introduced by General Lamoriciers. for the organization of the army. It proposes to abo- Ush drawing by conscription, and to make every one Mable to military service M. Frapoid, the envoy extraordinary of the Roman juici- proclamation, in which he tells his troops that the go- yernn.ent being resolved to maintain, in all quarters of the gleb , their id and legitimate influence, would not allow the destinies of the Italian people to be at the mercy of # foreign power, or a party which is but a minority. It bas confided to its charge, said he, the French flag for us to cloak in the Roman territory, as a striking symbol of our sympathies, ‘Tho government has appropriated five hundred thon- sand fiance to guard against the spread of the chole- ra, During the last six months the cholera has at- tacked fourteen departments, and fallen on 4,500 per- sons, 2,500 of whom have died. In 1832, the cholera raged in seventy departments, and 18,000 inhabitants were lost. Cholera casch are decreasing in the hospitals of Paris, ‘Tho number of new cases reported from the 20th to the 23d instant, amount to 187. ‘The staple industry of Paris is gradually improving. ‘An English house has made purchases in # Paris estab- lshment cf silk ‘ace, to such an extent as to raise the price on the articles not less than 40 jer cont. ‘Another English house has made purchases to such an extentin the ribbon and silk manu‘actories, that it is difficult to satisfy the demand. Four great estab- lishments in millinery are now actively employed in completing orders for the next season, received from the United States; and in other fashionable articles, the same progress is perceptible. ‘There is not a man in the coach making trade who cannot find full work, and the same applies to the cabinet making. The Danish War. Hostilities betweea Denmark and Prussia still con- tinue to be waged, without any preponderance on either side likely to affect the eventual issue, The German troops entered Jutland in considerable force on the 20th ult, ‘The ship Emigrant, from the United States for Bre- mer, with a cargo of tobacco, has been made « prize, and sent into the port of Copenhagon. ‘The town of Koling, which lies about a mile anda half from the frontier of Schleswig, and ten from the frontier of Frederika, vas taken by the Schleswig troops, under Gen. Borun, on the 20th instant—fight- ing continually for many hours, In the streets, be- fore the town was evacuated by the Danes. The loss in killed and wounded, is not given. Hamburg papers of the 24th, contain no further intelligence from Kold- ing, except that the city has suffered much from fire, ‘The Germ an troops are in quiet possession. It is ascertained that steps have been taken to induce Leo- pold, King of the Belgians, to act the part of mediator. Whether he will or not accept this office, is not yet known, The last accounts were, that the Danes were assembling, in large numbers, on the heights beyond Kolding. It was rumored at Berlin on the 17th ult., that the King of Prussia had determined to accept the imperial crown, on condition that the acceptance of the consti- sution should be suspended until after its revision at the sitting of the Chambers. » On the 22d, a resolution accepting the constitution ‘ag it stands, was strongly opposed by Count Branden- burg, in the name ot the government, alleging that the alteration made on the second reading at Frankfort rendered it impossible for Prussia to accept it uncon- ditionally. The resolution was, however, carried, by a majority of 179 to 159. Austria, ‘The Austrians have been again defeated in a general battle, and Melden, the best general in the Austrian | service, as he has been called, has not been more suc- cessful a.ainst the Magyars than was his predecessor. On the 20th, Welden concentrated all his forces, with- drawing even the garrison from the Pesth and from the camp in the neighborhood of Ofen, for the purpose of making ® general combined attack upon the Hunga- rian forces; Welden attacking them in the front, and Jel- lachich and Schlisk taking themin flankandrear, This grand combined attack took place on the 20th and 2st, at Gran, and ended in the complete defeat of Welden. The accounts state that the Austrians were driven back with the loss of twenty guns and two thousand pri- sonors, and that*they had been compelled to raise the seige of Comorn. It is rumored in Paris that a murderous engagement has taken place under the walls ot Comorn, in which Gorgey had defeated the Austrians, who had evacuated Pesth, and that the Austrians were under the walls of Vienna. It was reported at Vienna, on the 19th ult., that an insurrection had broken out at Cracow. As an offset to the foregoing, it is asserted, by the Vienna ocorres- pondent of the Constitutional Zeitung, writing under date of April 20,9 P. M., that the Hungarians were to- tally defeated near Geron, their loss in prisoners alone being 2.000. The Austrian government has deeided to credit 200,000,000 florins Hungarian treasury bonds, which are ts be paid when they are subdued. ‘The Ross Gazette states that 40,000 Russians had en- tered Montravia, by the Buchowins. They bring the answer of the abinet of St. Petersburgh to that of Ol- mutz, tothe question of on what condition Prussia would place her diplomatic and material resources at the disposition of the Austrian government. Sardinia. Sardinia rejects the terms offered by Austria, and the two governments are again at issue, The Pied- montese ministers have given fresh directions to the ‘War Department, to prepare for the immediate resump- tion of hostilities, as for an event likely to occur, ‘There is an interruption of the negotiations between Sardinia and Austr'a, ax carried on at Milan, between the envoys sent to negotiate atreaty. The conditions required hitherto by Austria were such that Piedmont could not listen to, They were these :—Ist. The joint occupation of Alessandria, after she should have re- duced her army; 2d. The payment of 226,000,000, equal to £5,000,000 ; 8d. That King Victor Emmanuel should, of bls own authority, modify the statutes ia respect to the law of election, and put down the liberty of the press—in a word, violate the Constitution which he had sworn to but a few: ays azo. These conditions, especially the last, rendered it im- porsible to make any advance on the pending negotia- tion ; but suddenly Austria has altered her tone, and has directed her plenipotentiary to adjourn nogotia- tion for a fortnight, and then convene a Congress at Verona, towhich France and England will be invited torend agents. It is suspected that the cause of this desire is that Austria wishes to | ain time and send 30,000 of her Italian army to assist her forces in Hun- gary. Tho Piedmonticre ministry have already directed that the provisions and armaments of Alessandria should be continued with the utmost activity, and that a camp of 40,000 men should be formed, under the pro- tection of the cannon of the fortress of the lino, ex- tonding between it and Genoa, They have now given freeh directions to the war department, to prepare for the immediate resumption of hostilities, as for an event likelyto crush the Sardinian fleet in theVenetian waters, ® Germany. The internal condition of Germany is distracted in the extreme, All parties are at issue, and the proba- bility of « speedy adjustment appears to be as far re- moved ns ever The Hungarian War, Austria continues to be foiled in Hungary, The ac- counts from the seat of war are so conflicting, that lit- Ue reliance can be placed upon them. Naples and telly, ‘The fortunes of war between Naples and Sicily still ccptinue adycrse for ue Sicilians, Im addition to Ca- tamia, Soto has surrendered to the Nespolitens, Pa- lormo, it is raid, has proposed to capitulate, ‘The London Sun, of the 27th ult. says, that “news from Naples is, that the government of Palermo has offered to surrender on such terms as Admiral Baudia can procure for them, We don’t believe a word of thin intelligence, It comes from Naplos, and is most aus- picious, and it speaks of Admiral Baudin as though he wore at Palermo; the fact being that Admiral Bau- din is at Jacus, Italy.” ‘The reaction is triumphant at Florence, and the 1a- tost mows from Leghorn announces the embarkation of the republican chief, and the approach of the Tuscan reactionary troops to that city. ‘The authority ot the Grand Duke appears to have heen established everywhere in Tuscany, except at Leghorn, There the populace were excoedingly turbu- lent ; Lave shut the gates, barricaded the streets, and expressed a full determination to defond the town to the last extremity. Avezzana las arrived at Rome, for whic city the legion tho Caribaldi is in full march, to protect it against the French entering Rome. The provisional government will retire to Ancona. Rome. ‘The Pope will remain at Gacta until the temper of his revolted vub;ccts is ascertained. The Market Intelligence, Livenroon, April 28, 1549 Considering the actual position of continental affairs, the public securities have been firm since the departure of the Inst stoamer, but morcantile operations have boon dull, lavuid, and unsatisfactory in Manchester; and throughout the manufacturing distriote, gonorally, a feeling of depression largely prevails, ‘The eontinuance of the wa: betweon Prussia and Denmark, and the threatening aspect of political affairs in Germany, hay- ing tho effect of cutting off orders from those quarters. After some slight fluctuations during the week, the funds were more than useally steady yesterday, Consols closing at 92.0134; Bank Stock realized 192% 3 194; Exchequer Bills, 448. a 47s. premium. Advices from France are dispiriting, and the trade of the continent gonerally is nearly at a stand. Still the French funds continue firm, at 56f. 60 for Three per Cents, and 88f, 80 for Five per Cents. ‘The market for breadstuffs has been inanimate during the weok, with limited operations, with a de- cline on last week's prices, of 2d. a Sd. on wheat; 6d. a 9d. on flour; and 1s, to 2s. 6d on Indian corn. Bost Western Canal flour is worth 23s. a 238, 8d, per bbl.; Philadelphia and Baltimore, 238, a 238, 6d.; New Or- leans and Ohio, 23s. 6d. a 24s,; Canadian, 238. 0 245.; and United States and Canadian sour, 23s.; Indian corn, 208, Gd. a S1s.; white, 314, a 32s; corn meal, 14s, 15s. per bbl. Yesterday the market was somewhat more animated, every arrival being in improved, and transactions closing with firmer feeling. The sales of cotton for the week amounif to 24,740 bales, with no actual variations from last week's quo- tations. Of the +ales, 2,500 bales wore on speculation, and 3,580 for export. American descriptions sold— 11,290 bales wero uplands, at 3} a 5d.; 11,940 Orleans at 34 a 6%Xd.; 7,630 Alabama and Mobile at 3% 9 4d.; and 740 Sea Island at 7.0 1334d. per lb. The demand, notwithstanding tho depressing influence of the block- ade of the German ports upon the trade of Manchester, was moderately sustained, but the abundance of the supply continues seriously to affect the market. The fall of #4 im the Liverpool ‘market, per the America, has no éffect on the Havre market.

For Carolina turpentine, no sales of rough; 31s. a 22s. is sked for spirits, Fine rosin—500 barrels common sold for 88.; good to fine quality, 7. a 10s, Seeds—The season is considered closed. Tobacco—No change in prices, and little doing. ‘There is no new feature in the market; full prices are obtained. Freights at Liverpool during the week ending on the 28th ult., had been tolerably steady, but in the last few days some decline has been submitted to for New York, in consequence of the arrival of soveral ships, to which extra despatch appears to be of more importance than rates. Passengers are less abundant, but good rates have been obtained hitherto. For New York dead weight 12s, 6d. a 138, per ton; fine goods 15s. to 178. 6d.; hardware 12s. 6d.

The question was, whether a stockholder, whose stock had been forfeited, remained liable for the calls mace previous to the forfeiture.— The counsel for the plaintiff contended that he was not liable, and the defendants maintained the contrary.

The defendant, under various pretences, kept the moncy, alleging that it was due to him for boarding the ntiff and his family, and others for whom he became surety, The court charged the jnry, that ther questions in the case, The first was, did defendant receive the money for plaintiff to be applied to his use; and the other question was, had the defendant any claim for the ard of plaintiff and his family, for which he elaimed to deduct $40. There is no ovi- dence that plaintiff remained at defendant's house for more than a week, and for that space of time only he would be liable; as to the other parties for which « claim is made, he would not be liable, unless the board was given at his request.

Broapwar Tueatae.—Last evening, Shakspeare’s tra- gedy of “King Lear” was performed at this theatre, Mr. Forrest sustaining the character of the King. We have scarcely ever, since its opening, seen the house 80 thinly a.tended. At the commencement of the first act, there were not more than thirty porsons in the boxes, and the opinion seemed generally to prevail that there would be a dismissal; and many were of opinion that the theatre should not have been opened last evening. However, the play went on, and the house improved alittle in numbers.

This spectacle and“ Simpson £ Co. will be performed again this evening. Burtoy’s Tusatne.—The continuous attraction of the excessively popular comedy of “Dombey & Son,” has compelled its performance once a week. It was played, last night, by the talented members of the troupe of the Chambers street theatre, with great ensemble, and was received with much applause, Captain Cuttle, (Bur- ton,) is really inimitable, and his creation of the warm- hearted tar will be remembered in New York, as well as thatjofMose,”’ by Chanfrau, Messrs.

Each scene is striking, interesting and well conceived; each character posses- ses its own individuality, and is becoming to its inter- preter, We think that “Domboy” will be, for the fu- ture, ranked among the “legitimate American come- ought to require, and that the subsequent preceedings under the Stilwell act wore unnecessary and oppres- sive.

It was a mero question of fact for the jury, who found a verdict for the plaintiff for $100. Court of General Session: Before the Recorder and Ald. Hatfield and Britton, Mayr 11.—Grand Larceny.—William Waitman was placed on trial, charged with grand larceny, in having, on the 7th of April last, stolen clothing and other arti- cles of value, worth in all about $60, the property of Isaac Benstein. The larceny was proven, but the jury did not believe the property to be worth so much as was set forth in the indictment. They, therefore, found a verdict of * Guilty of petit larceny only.” The Court sentenced the prisoner to the Penitentiary for six months. Sentence.—William Jackson, heretofore tried and found guilty of obtaining property, worth about $60, by false. pretences, was brought out for sentence, ‘The judgment of the Court was that Jackson should pay a tine of $50, and be imprisoned in the City Prisom for ten days, Charge of Assault and Battery with intent to Kill.— John Mullins, an Irishman advanced in ycars, was tried on a charge of assault and battery with intent to Kill bis wife, Mary Mullins, on tho 2lét of February last. It was alleged that he attempted to cut his wife's throat while she wasin bed, at her residence, No. 51 Mulberry street. Joux Lyxcu, the principal witness for the prosecu- tion, testified that he lived in the same house with the ‘prisoner and his wife at the time of the alleged the offence; at ubout 11 o'clock on the evening of 2ist of Feb., he was alarmed by the cries of a little girl, the daughter of the accused; witness went to Mul- lins’ room, and discovered Mrs. Mullins lying in the blood which flowed from a wound inflicted on her neck with some sharp instrument; a police officer was sent for, and Mullins was taken into custody. Faraick Moneny, « policeman, being sworn, stated that Mullins had ‘told bim that he cut his’ wife's threat, because she would not get his supper, It appeared that the attack was the result of a family quarrel, and the jury, viewing it in that light, ren- jered a verdict of guilty of assault and battery only.

The gem of the concert brilliantly reflected by his masterly execution, vocally and instrumentally, of the “ May Queen;" but we deprecate the policy of his introducing into’ his selection the “ Humorous,” a style, as evinced in “Duncan Gray,” incompatible with the pathos which is his peculiar forte, and which, upon this occasion, was beautifully exemplified in his national song of the “Death of Warren,” the “ Blind Boy” and the “ Emerald Isle,’ which were most adml- rably executed, and justly’ received the approving testimonials of the audience.
