The European News. ‘The Cambria will arrive here early this morning, with the European mails to the thirteenth ultimo. The City of Glasgow, with intellignnce to the six- teenth of last month, is now due here, and the news to the twentieth of April, by the Canada, may be expected over the wires at any moment. The crowded state of our columns does not per- mit us to express the suggestions consequent upon Li will be observed, however, that the fears we have several times expressed on the settlement of the Greek question, are justified by the uspect of Europe on this point. We shall await the full statements with some impatience. ‘The English government seems on the verge of a downfall, and we are prepared to hear of a new ministry. The fact that the Times opposes Lord Jchn Ruerell’s administration, shows which way the wind blows, The French news is as yet uninteresting—but when our correspondence arrives, we may have more important details. The advance in cotton is not surprising. Even the English >eculators cannot hold out against stubborn jacts, and by the middle of this month a still greater advance may be expected. Tur Triat or One-Eveo Tuomrson at Broox- Lyn, AND THE Recent Mysteries or tur Tomns.— One of the most remarkable trials that has occurred in this country, since the formation of the consti- tution of the federal government, and probably for a year previous, has been going on at Brooklyn, in Kings county; and, owing to circumstances to which we shall have occasion to allude, has been adjourned over for a week, and the jury allowed to have a vacation ; and on the 6th instant they are to meet again and finish the trial. One-Eyed Thompson has evidently got one eye too many for Judge Greenwood, of Brooklyn,and the two aldermen who are on the bench assisting to do justice. Mr. Thompson is too sharp for the Brooklyn court. He pleaded his own cause before them, and, without the slightest difficulty, seems to have utterly confounded judge and jury, and has driven the District Attorney and the prosecution to their wit’s ends. The true secret of their adjourn- ing the cave over is said to be that the judges and lawyers wished a week to refer to their law books, consult me go to work when the court meets again, so as to convict One-Eyed Thompson, who has shown him- self to be a most remarkable personage, and we have no doubt that, under favorable auspices, he would have made asecond Fouché. He at least would become a most eminent or notorious lawyer, hod he have tured his attention to that branch of the liberal professions, and would probably have been at the head of the legal gentlemen in this city, or, at least, in Brooklyn. He seems to under- stand everything—chemistry, engraving, law, phy- sic, grocery business, preaching, leather trade, ma- thematics, making, love, sarseparilla, gunpow- der plote, banking, and every other branch and grade of rascality. A remarkable man is Mr. W. H. Thompeon, and it is unfortunate that his neces- sities should have driven him into association with | persons of very doubtful reputation, Thompson would have done well in the brokerage business in Wall street, if he had have dashed it with religious impudence. It is quite clear that he is too many guns, or, rather, one large torpedo, for the parties who are so anxious to conviet him. The whole community, far and near, are very anxious to have all these trials, and the remarkable men engaged in them, disposed of. know whut to think of them. Itis a perfect mys tery. Tr: veloped. There are the Drurys, father and son— the Achleys and their families—James Arlington | | Bennet and family—George Wilkes—Mareus Ci- cero Stanly —p ~Thomas Wamer, luwyer, and family—Meeers. Anthon, Count F police officers, courtezans, and 80 forth—so mixed up that men cannot separate them, and do justice to coch and all, without half-a-dozen new trials. It is the most mysterious and bewitching piece of fun that we have ever heard of. We don’t know who's who, or what's what, and the newepapers dare not express an opinion in favor of one or the other, for fear of a $20,000 libel suit.

We ehall look with a great deal of anxiety for the assembling once more of the Brook. lyn court and jury. We suppose, as a closing up scone, that Thompeon, if he i# not found guilty, will at ence proeecute the Kings county judge, jury, and lawyers, for malicious intererference with the deys end nights of an honest man, and have the case brought over to this city for trial Well, well, the fun e-going.

To-day we publish the remainder, with the verdict of the jury; and 4 more “lame and impotent conclusion,” was never altived at. Were not the matter too serious to sport with, and our feelings not too much shocked by the re- volting tragedy, we might write a very amusing ar~ ticle upon the deamatis persone in this “Crowner’s quest” farce; for it is nothing elee than a farce The very men who ought to be on their trial, and hove incurred, albeit, a share of the responsibility of allowing the wall to stand, are the witnesses in their own case, und they swear themselves out of all blume, taking eare to throw the onus on the shoulders of somebody else. If we are to believe the evidence of every man taken separatety, he is ue innocent as the child unborn. But if we are to believe the testimony of ull the witnesses together, they are all to blame; #0 thut the conclusion of the whole mutter is, that while everybody is exone- rated from guilt, everybody is guilty—which is what the logicians call a reductio ad absurdum, One thing hus been made pretty clear by the evidence, however much it may have differed in other respects, and thut is, that the projecting por- ticn of the wall was known to be in a dangerous state, und eo pronounced by competent authority— by the Chief Engineer, the Assistants, and the fire- men, upon whore sound practical judgment, de- rived fiem experience in such matters, we would place more reliance than upon the dicta of all the professional theorists in the city. It is only to be regretted that the Chief Engineer did not act upon his own judgment then and there, und prostrate the perilous wall, as has been so often done at other fires. So sensible was he of the dan- ger, that he would not permit the firemen to go under it; but then he did not pull it down, guard against the loss of other lives, He went to the Mayor. His Honor came down, the | Comptroller ceme, aldermen accompanied them; architects, and builders, and surveyors, and cap- tains of insurance watch, customhouse authorities, and the owner of the buildings, were all there. ‘They put their wise heads together—one said this and one said that—but the result was that nothing was done with the wall for four days, and till it was allowed to crush to death at least seven human beings. Yet one witness tells us—end he no less than an Aeeietant Alderman—that “the Mayor acted premptly and firmly in the matter, and was governed by the advice of some of our most re- liuble citizens.” Why, the Mayor poraessed ample power, according to a law of the State, to pros trate the building. Personally he was liable for no damage, neither was the city, if the wall could be proved to be dangerous. That an overwhelming mass of such proof could be produced, was evident. The imminent danger was palpable to the senses. Had his Honor caused it to be pulled down, that would be “acting promptly and firmly in the matter.” Mr. Whit- ney, it seems, promised to have it taken down, or braced up. He performed neither alternative. Mr. Tucker, his builder, declares, on oath, that he stated the upper pert of the gable would fall, and that he would not venture under it. Yet he did not advise Mr. Whitney to prostrate it; or, if he did, Mr. Whitney did not follow the advice. The con- sequence was, thet seven poor men lost their lives. But they “ were Irish;’” and it is a long time yet, till the votes of the Irish will be wanted at the elec- tons.

The security of life and property in New York, demands that something be done in the premises, und that speedily. Meantime, the extraordimary verdict delivered yeeterdav by the jury, affords abundant food for contemplation.

Such will be the plan, the plot; the scenes can ne yet rearcely be eketched. The house will be an overflowing one; and if, in the rush for places, the public should become interested and get upon the etage, and turn the tables, by talking down and voting down the actors, it would be a case of real free discussion—popular opinion rising superior to local prejudice, and producing a good result out of the most mischievous elements.

George Croghan, Erq., of Ulster county; the other plaintift ip Mies Ridgely. ‘The pluinsiffe derive title from the late Chancellor Livingston, who was grandson of Robert Liviags- ton, nemed as one of the proprietors of the Har- denburgh patent, in a partition of said patent, made im 1749, between the proprietors. His interest in the Hurdenburgh patent is derived from Johannes Hardenburgh, Phibp Rokely, and other patentees. The present owners, and those under whom they claim, have been in possession, therefore, of the premises for nearly 160 years, The anti-renters who live upon the premises, and many of whom hold under leases of portions thereof, claim that Great Lot No. 4, or a great part of it, is in the Rochester patent; and one of their number having taken a deed under the true tees of Rochester, they all claim under this latter conveyance. The cause will be an interesting one, as dis- closing eome of the schemes by which the anti- renters hope to shake off their obligations, The atrorney for the plaintifle, as we are informed, is A. C.

Fashio: the Italian Opera. “La Favorite” again to-night, with Stefanont, 0. Badiali, Corradi-Setti, and Salvi, This were enough, did every one know what all knew and experienced oa Tuerday night, at Niblo’s. It may be that Stefanoni sighs for the beautiful Jane of London, Badiali for the soft epring of Rome. Bosio for the genial air of Madrid, Corradi-Setti for the mild breezes of Milan, and Salvi for the various vernal, softening atmospheres of Eu- rope, and Lorini for the sunshine of Havana, to which there vocalists have been accustomed, not forgetting Marini, who has tried many 4 climate; but nowhere, we are assured. have their triumphs been more appre- ciated, by the hearts of the people, than among us.who are altogether “ in the sugar trade and cotton ne.” On Tuesday night, Stefanoni, Salvi, Badiali and Corradi-Svtti, won, before an audience of three thourand persons, laurels whieh they richly merited and may be proud to wear. Never shall we forget the splendid voealisution of Stefnoni, the beautifiul allegro of her cavatina, which we have hanted forin the score in vain, and which that enchanter, Bottesint. must have written for her—the magnificent style of Sulvi--the earnestness and force of Badiali, and the sober truthfulness of Corradi Setti. Memory will linger over the echo of such melodious strains, which will not be earily displaced; and to-night, we may anticipate another series of ovations for these birds of epring—these chorieters of soul thrilling melody and harmony. Last night, in “ Macbeth,” Bosio was called before the curtain three times, such was the enthusiasm created by her beautitul musical efforts. C. Badiali won largely euch honors as ure seldom bestowed on a bari- tone voice. Lorini was delicious in the little be had to do—and the whole opera went off in fiue style, or- chertra, chorus and all doing wonders. Indeed, in- deed, this is the opera company worth having. and we defy Parie or London to surpast it ase whole. Indi- vidually, we would give more to bear “ La Favorite” to-night. at Niblo’s, tham at any royal opera of Lon- don, or what was once royal at Paris. New York and Havana will yet put those cities inthe shade.
