" Buropea: @taitsm—Popular Ferment in unis Betre- pel During the last few months, several indications have presented themeelves in private assemblies, secret convocations and public meetings, tending to ehow the existence of a very curious fermen- taion which is going on among a certain portion ef the people in this city, having its origin in the recent wholegele importations of European social- asm, of the worst and most dangerous kinds, from the old continent te these Western shores. ‘The late revelution in France, and the attempts at revolution in Italy and Germany, have throwa off vast quantities of folly, ignorance, crime, aad some good purpose, all mixed up together in about equal portions, called socialism in Europe, and ra- diealem, or ultraism, here. The erroneous no- tions and bloody purposes of the European social- ists were the causes of the recent defeats of the attempts to establish sound republican govern- ment in Europe, such a8 has been established here, both under the colonial era and our present insti- tutions. The refuse ot this soeialism has been coming over to our shores, and is here fermenting and indoctrinating the public mind, and will be ready, in a short time, to burst forth ia riot and disorder, as our political movements take place, previous to the coming elections. The organ of these sanguinary and dangerous jions—which are opposed to true republicanism —in this city, isa journal under the contrel ot a erack-brained, silly and vain individual, who wears hie penteloons in a peculiar way, and goes about the country exhibiting himself as a show, while the under-workers from the socialists of Europe, are using his columns and spreading their destruc- tive principles among the honest masses of this city. Twenty years ago there was a similar state olthings here, anda similar outburst took place im this metropolis. Its primary cause was exactly ofthe seme character with that which is new be- ginving to ferment in the midst of us. A revolu- tien bad just taken place in France—Louis Phi- bppe bad mounted the throne, and the violent socialists of that day, disappointed of their ex- peetations both in France and England, crowd- ed to this city, and raised the ery of socialism, reform, revolation, &e., altogether differnng from democracy avd republicanism, such as we have been accustomed to jn this country from time immemorial. At that period of time, both of the old partiee—the whigs and the democrats—were effete, disorganized, corrupt and imbecile. The radical English socialists lectured and speechified, and agitated in our public halls, theatres d streets, and almost in every corner of the city. Fanny Wright's famous lectures in the Park The- atre will be well remembered, by many citizens, to thw day. The results of all these socialist doc- trines and movements, and the fermeatation carried on—the same as that pow working up by the Tyibwne—w,ll also be well remembered. They resulted in riots, outbursts, and various discredit- able eruptions, both political and social, which took place about those days. Recent events in this city demonstrate the ac- tion and fermentation of stronger and more dangerous socialist principles, and the approach of 8 erinie rapidly coming on yn this metropolis, which will probably be vpon us during aext eummer or fall, in tenfold intensity to that which took place twenty years ago. We are at the begioniag of a new era of commercial life and financial distur- baner, brought about by the discovery of California, aod the general prosperity of the republic. Prices of all commodities are rising, the currency is ex- pending, demands are being made for higher weges by journeymen aod mechanics, and we may natwrally expect, from all these and similar ele- ments of combustion, seme great excitement to result in political and public affairs. The foreiga agitators in the late European events, whose destructive doctrines and violent deeds have thrown reyubheaniem back at least a handred years in Europe, are now pouring ia upon us, and they find in the 7) ibwne an opening and encourage mest to epreed their doctrines and their dangerous systems, undermining here, the principles of right and of honest democracy, which have prevailed frem time imme morial upon this continent. two old partics—the whige aad democrate— meantime, are broken up—are effete ana dyeorge nize d— precisely as they were tweaty years age; end if the great masses in this city, number. sng probably sixty thousand voters over twenty- one yenrs of ge, and thirty thousand from foar- teen to twenty-one, do not look with care and attention to the chareeter of the appronehing times so ovr domertic politics, they will be led astray, and may ruin themeriver, as the unhappy people of France and Italy have done within the last two yeare. Now is the time for American democracy and practical sound republicanism, euch as we have | bad fora century and a half on this continent, to save iteelf mtact, by keeping clear of these dan- grrous and destructive principles of ultra red re- pablieaniem and socialism, which have been im- ported ata high price and vast expense, upon our shores. Fioops is Tur Sourm awn Weer.—Our ex- ebanges, of late, have brought t mort destractive floods at the South aad Weeat. In the lower Miseiesippi, the water hae been very high; and at New Orleans and Point Coupee, serious crevasses have occurred—ot the latter place almost entirely destroying the growing erope of sugar on several plantations. la Ohio and In- diana, too, recent rains have swollen the streams #0 mech that, im several instances, houses have been swept from their foundations, and an im- menee amount of property destroyed These floods are not the regular spring overflows, whieh are looked for with dread by persone living on the weetern rivers, and it is probable the flood of April will be very serious. There are usually two floods—one ii Jane —both of whieh are caused by the melting of the heavy gnowe at the north, and both of which, last year, were most destra Tax Next News rnom Evrors.—The Niagara will bring the next news from the other side of the Aflantic.

Wuar'’s m Taz Winn Now t—The Courier and Enguircr, which is the organ of the office-holders n this city, came out, yesterday morning, ine very bitter denunciation of the Washington Re- public, (and, by inference, of General Taylor him- self,) which it calls “the special organ of the administration at Washington,” for some recent Tematks made by the latter journal in relation to the anti-slavery, disunion, and disorganizing sen- timents lately expressed by Mr. Seward, in the United States Senate. What’s in the wind now? What 16 the matter with the office-holders here 1 ‘What is the drift with the cabinet at Washington? In defending Senator Seward against the just strictures of the Washington Republic, the Courier and Enquirer undertakes to represent the Senator asthe great representative of the North on the distracting topic ot the day, and evidently concurs m the belief which Mr. Seward has claimed for himself, that he is not only the representative of the State of New York and of the whole North, but that he is the representative of the Almighty himeelf, elected by the votes of Heaven, for all future time, in the Senate of the United States, and that he possesses more constitutional powers onthe subject of slavery, disunion, &c., than all the rest of the United States put together. In tact, Senator Sewai ' reduces this model republic to a simple Mormon Empire, and assumes to be the Joe Smith of the same from time to eternity. Small potatoes have grown big of late. We ure evidently on the verge of some singular changes or transitions in the principles and person- nels of the administration of General Taylor, as well as in the crop of potatoes in New York. The article in the Cowrier is extremely violent against the Republic and all those who coincide with the Jatter journal in their estimate of Senator Seward. ‘Who can have written this erticle? Mr. Webb is absent at the court of Austria, and Mr. Raymond is in Albany. In their absence, we suspect that the Collector, Mr. Maxwell, and Mr. Prescot Hall, the U. S. Attorney, are the advisers of the Courter. There is, therefore, an evident and violent division between the administration agents of this city, now holding office, and the supporters of General Taylor at Washington, having possession of power there. We rather suspect that the disunienist branch of the cabinet, namely Ewing & Co., from the extraordinary disclosures of Thurlow Weed, have been in secret consultation with Senator Seward, and are congenial with the Collector and other office-holders here. If such is the ease, we may e00n expect a very sudden and violent disrup- tion of the cabinet, changes among the office- holders, and their utter and final rejection by the Senate of the United States. At all events, squalls are ahead in the adminis- tration of General Taylor. The old hero, we sus- pect, is beginning to find out who have been de- ceiving and betraying him, and there may be attempts made by the kicked-out portion of the cabinet, and some of the office-holders here, to Tylerise the old hero of Buena Vista, and to cheat the American people. Can they do it!’ We doubt it—but we will wait and see the fun. Tun Panxaan Murder —Proressor J. W. Wen- ster’s Triat.~-The trial of Professor John W. Webster, charged with the murder of Dr. George Parkman, which commences to-day in Boston, is the most extraordinary judicial investigation on crminal record, that has ever been known in this country. The high social, moral and scientific position of the accused—the distinguished cha- racter for weglth and professional skill enjoyed by the deceased, make the whole affair as startling and full of interest as was the trial of the Duc de Prashn, not long ago, in Paris. Indeed, the ar- raignment of Dr. Wébster will create an interest not confined to this country merely. The scien- tific investigations of the learned Professor, and hie position, on an eminence, in the chief college of New England, have brought him into contact and correspondence with many learned men through- out the world, all of whom will be eager to learn the result of the charge against him, and who would rejoice if the character of the Professor could once more stand in its prist spotlessness. The trial of Dr. Valorus P. Coolidge, an ordinary— and very ordinary—medical man, created a great sensation throughout New England and the United States; but that of Dr. Webster, though not a whit less aggravated and singular in its details, and, if possible, carrying with it charges of more hideous perpetrations, will attract the intelligent people of every mation. The unhappy man has been noticed by foreign authors, and by no work more handsomely than by Humboldt’s * Cosmos,” for his scientific attammments and skill; and the 1» which will blot his name and memory from every fair record, should he be convicted of this diabolical murder, will be reverted to only asa proof of the uncertainty of having faith in the pu- rity even of the educated of our race. We have made arrangements for a telegraphic report of this trial, and shall publish it both in our morning and evening editions, giving it to the public with all the speed that can ponsibly be used to present it in a satisfactory shape. We may ex- pect despatches in time for our evening edition to-day.

A close observer of the manifest changes going on in the newspaper world, can perceive, however, that we are in a transition state asto advertising, in this country. The system introduced by the Herald, based upon avast and rapidly augmenting circulation, confined to no section, party, state or country, but scat- tered throughout the whole earth, is a steptowards reform, such as marked the London Times in its progress some years ago, and which made that journal a medium not only for reaching the public, but every individual mind. People make known their wants in the Herald, because they are certain to give publicity to them; and it is for no other cause. They effect their ob- ject. Interests remote or near, can be touched, because the Herald is everywhere—just as the London Times is. It is no uncommon thing in beth of these papers, to find advertisements of the most singular and mysterious import. Romances are condensed into three or four lines; pathetic poems are contained in a few words of prose; moral essays are reduced to a practical reault; great com- mercial transactions are commenced, by asimple desire, and the wandering, absent, and lost, are communicated with as they could be by no other means. The advertisements are read for the in- terest which they create—and no reader can sav that it will not be his turn te answer some call from a distant region, eenveyed by some long lost [panes supposed to be out of society, or the wor! Itis in this way that the press, conducted on the plan of the Heraid, is fulfilling its “manitest amy ny,” “taking the wings of the morning and fyto; to, the uttermost parts of the earth,” bearing ‘gl tidings of great joy” to millions who, but for ite presence, would be shrouded in night, dependent solely upon those petty local presses whose selfish, narrow system, however serviceable to a few, is not tobe named in the same day with the great, peop ye liberal and comprehensive plan embraces by the Herald, unquestionably an important agent of Amenican civilization, refinemeat, and intelli- gence.

Telegraphic Summary. Our usual congressional news will be found on the first page, and our special correspondence be- low. We admire the Senate for the magnanimity which they have evinced in confirming the ap- pointments of the present admunistration, con- sidering that many of them have been of a very dubious and suspicious character, and made, not at the instance of the President, but by the cabi- net itself. We regret very much to learn that Mr. Calhoun is far from being in that stste of health we would desire. It seems that the great ‘tobacco box man” is determined not to let Mr. Clayton alone. He has renewed his claim through the new Freach Mi- nister, and a renewal of the “ tempest in a teapot, on that subject, must be expected. Under the circumstances, Mr. ‘ Tobacco Box” could not do better than renew his claim, inasmuch as Mr. Clayton got but little the better of him in the former contest. We look forward to the result of this second onslavght of the ‘Tobacco Box” on Clayton and the cabinet with a good deal of interest.

It will be seen that the Operations thus far have been confined almost entirely to land lote—unimproved preperty.
