Gross Soeiaist Arrack on Danie, Weasrer.— Almost every country paper tinetured with free toil, socialist, or abolition doctrines, has copied from the Tyibwne en attack upon Mr. Webster, which, for brutal coarseness, vulgarity, and wicked malice, levelled against one of the most eminent men of this republic, is without a parallel in the history of the newspeper press. The article was written by Mrs. Jene Swisshelm, who claims to be a lady, but who displays qualities of heart and mind which no lady ean envy, and no gentleman | can epprove. Here is the article :— 1 do not think it prejudice that makes me think Mr, Webster's face disagreeable; bat to me it has am ex- pression of coarseness, as though his animal propensi- lics were ruther stronger (hai his intellvetual powers, His face speeks the sencualist by uature—a natural, ipnate velgurity, that would require # large amuunt of striet training to elevate into voluptuousness, such as is condemned by our people when dereribed by Sue vuRrisn NIBLO's GARDEN, Broadway. —PROMENALK MUSICAL.

Our telegraphic despatches, up to a late hour last night, from the metropolis, are not startling; but they are vory interesting, on a variety of points. The politicians, the papers, the parties and persons, of all kinds, are gradually taking their new posi- tions, rendered necessary in the coming game in national politics. The mysteries about the cabinet and Congress, are gradually unfolding their form and shupe to the public. The cabinet are still laying on their oars in part. ‘The * Washington Republic,” since the expulsion of the old editors, has been perfectly silent on po- Hitics and plurder. When will the cabinet be ready to talk, and show their hand? Are they waiting for the Gulphin exposé? The Intelligencer came out yesterday, for the first time, on the pre- sent crisis, and began to show its hand—it is for the President's plan of settling the slavery ques- tion—the adinission of California alone, and leay- ig the rest of the territories for faturé agitation. While the cabinet thus begins to show their hands, slowly, in opposition to the compromise, we are glad to find, coming from another quarter, more aid to Mr. Clay. Robt. J. Walker, formerly Secretary of the Treasury under Mr. Polk, and ene of the ablest that ever occupied that depart- ment, comes out in the Washington Union of yes- terday, and goes the whole figure in favor of Mr. Clay's compromise. There may be hope of a set- tement yet. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, it is said, has declared in favor of the Missouri line. Is it possible? He plays trumps with bold- nese—but can it be so? The Galphin robbery is the principal talk in the metropolis. This business will create a great stir im Congress, and a great noise throughout the eountry. There is a division already, among the whig-, on its merit—Mr. Brooks, of this city, op poses the speculution—good. Mr. James ing, financier of Wall street, sapports the haul of Mr. Crawford in the Treasury—of course he does, When did a financier of Wall street ever see any wropg in putting hand into the public treasury, and helping himself to principal end interest, whether just or unjust? You might as well ask one of the cropped gentlemen of Sing Sing if he could, in his conscience, condemn the robbery of astore. The thing is impossible. The Condition of Europe at Present. Europe is in a generally quiescent state. Yet there is still much of feverish blood, to give ap- prebensions for the future. France has been urged towards democracy, in order to gain republican- ism. Eugene Sue, and other socialist candidates, have triumphed over the party of order at the re- cent elections, and the hopes of Louis Napoleon for re-election are slender indeed. By the general elee- heve lost every friend that can be of service to him, because he will no longer have the power of being serviceable tothem. The people have been forced, to all appearanee, to de- mand socialiom, while they are learning to detest | all notions of communmm, and the other isms of | the redanen of France, who are as wild as any | on he will tribe of our western aborigines, on all subjects con- | nected with property.

This is not the only savage and malicious attack upon Mr. Web- ster that has appeared in the Tribune. It has more than cnee indulged in similar disgraceful acts, though, atrocious and outrageous as they have | been, this surpasses all others. Ata moment when the distinguished Senator is earning his proudest distinction, by devoting his whole energies to the settlement of the great national question, the Tribune, not satisfied with its attempt to level everything to its low standard of communism in n.orals and property, seeks to drag from his great eminence one of the most exalted intellects of the nation. The more eflectually to do this, it fero- ciously assails the private character of Mr. Webster, in such a way as to give the most deplorable picture of his morality and manners, and to leave an impression upon the minds of the rising genera- tion that would consign Mr. Webster’s memory to reproach and obloquy. The Tribune sends this poison all over the country, and then positively affirms that it has never done so. The socialist journal can level truth with as much ease as it can common decency. Does it dare to re-affirm that it did not originally publish the article we have quoted? Come, Greeley, look up to the bright heaven, and speak. ‘Tue Apvertising axp Printing or THe Cor- PoRATION.—There is no better example of the manner in which the business of the people is discharged by the salaried “City Fathers,” and their committees, than the way in which they have dealt with the question of the advertising and printing, for several weeks past. The con- tract with two journals of the smallest circula- tion, has expired long since ; and yet, by a system of humbug, the official reports of the proceedings of the Common Council are published in those papers, and paid for, just as if the contracts existed at this moment. This matter was first mooted in the Board of Assistant Aldermen, and resulted in the adop- tion of a report, containing an elaborate and veracious puff of the Sun, “done to order.” This report came before the Board of Alder- men for ‘ concurrence,” and met with op- position from some of the members, while others seemed bent on carrying the job through. Reso- lutions were proposed, and amendments offered, and the report was referred, reported on, and and finally referred again to the Committee on Ordinances. Thus the question was bandied about like a shuttlecock, in cider to divert the people, while all the time there was not the slightest in- tention of doing anything practical. The affair was put to sleep, till the Herald waked it up, one fine morning, and a worthy alderman, rising in his seat, at the next meeting of his Board, wished to know when the committee intended to report. Alderman Haws, the chairman of the committee, stated that they could not agree; but that he hoped, on the following Monday, to be able to pre- sent the report. Monday came, and many other days of meeting passed ; in fact, week after week rolled by, but there was no report. At length, on Friday last, the Alderman of the First ward moved a resolution, of which the subjoined is an official Teport :— Ald. Gnirriy presented the folowing resolution, vie: Resolved, That four daily papers, having the largest city circulation, be and are hereby employed to pub- Jish all the offieia! proceedings of both Boards and the Common Couneil. together with all legal and official notices fr the several heads of ments; pro- vided said daily papers will agree to do the same at the prices heretofore accepted A kim moved to refer the same to the (: Ordinances ich was adopted on a divi- sion. vie: — ian, President, Ald. .

These are storms » Tre Havana Orena Taourr m Bostox.—The musical feelings of Doston have been roused imo the highest degree of cothosiasm by Stefanoni, Salvi, Marini, Lorini, and the other artists of the splendid trowye from Havana, so skilfully managed by Senior Pader. Sulviand Stefanoni have eaprially excited storms of applause, and whole eotumns of newepaper praice. The musical critics of the “Basi” come wp to the same noteh which New Pork pitched. above that. But what is the necessity for pub- lishing the proceedings in four journals? Two, or at most three, would be quite sufficient for all pur- poses; and the proper couree would be to oon tine the publication to them, and pay them faicly for their valuable space. Observations have been made upon the high prices asked by the Merald. Why, would be cheaper for the Common Council to insert their proceedings in the Herald, at $3,000 per annum, than to get them in the Z-cpress for $500—we had almost «nid gratuitensly— such is the difference between the two papers, in , the value received; and there could not be a greater injustice done than to prapose to pay them the same price. As well might the Corporation order 1,000 copies of a placard of bandbill from ene printer, and 5,000 copies of the same feom another, and offer to pay both the same amovwat for the ‘work. The preposed payment in the resolutioe we have queted ie just the same aseves paid twenty- five pears ago, to John Lang and Arnos Batler, proprietors of the Gazette and Mercantile Adver- | tiser, whose circulation was but 1,500 per day each. ‘The einentation of the Herald is from 30,00 to 40,000 per day, costing nearly tweaty times as | much in paper and printing as those extinguished “lights of other days.” The circulation of the Trilune is 15909, costing nearly ten times as much, and it would be glso unfair to ask that journal todo the work on the ame terms, thongh the injustice would be only ebout half as great a in the case of the Herald. The P. O, Department have adopted | the fair prineiple—they have given the printiag of the list of letters remaining im the New York Post | Office to the two papers of highest cireulation. EEE This is a precedent that the Corporation would be at least safe in following. If they fail to do a0, the people will know the reason. The Bourd of Al dermen do not meet again till the first Monday in June. The committee have time enough to make up their report before then. We shall look out for it, and report the result to the people. Meanwhile the tottering existence of journils which have no rightto the printing, is prolonged for a few weeks more by the public money, voted away by those who imagine they receive « quid pro quo in the si- lence or support of hurdy-gurdy papers which have as little influence upon public opinion as the hand- organs carried through the streets by the German and Italian women, who mechanically tara tae handle to the five or six tunes the instrument is capable of playing, and then repeat the dose next door, Sin Henry Burwer’s Lerrer ro Mr. Cuar- FieLp—Ownina Up.—One of our cotemperaries, who generally goes off at half cock, after having charged our Nicaragua correspondents with or- gery, fraud, theft, &c., denying the authenticity of the letter we published, addressed by Sir Henry Bulwerto Mr. Chatfield, has the following para- graph :— Sir Henry Bulwer admits having written the Chat- field letter, but assures the Secretary of the Treasury that he intended no disrespect to the administration. — Evpress. Certainly no disrespect was intended by Sir Henry Bulwer to the administration, or to General Taylor. We have expressed similar opinions in re- ference to the conduct of the cabinet. We have ealled them weak—imbecile, and the whole country has cheerfully endorsed these opinions. But no one meant any disrespect to General Taylor; for we look upon him as the legal administrator, and the cabinet merely the head clerks, or agents. By- the-by, if asingle letter ef Sir Henry Bulwer to Mr. Chatfield, can make such a commotion all over the country, and around Washington, what would be the consequences were we to give to the world two or three of a similar kind, including correct copies of the replies written to Mr. Bulwer in Washington ? Mr. Chatfield’s correspondence with Sir Henry, embracing several letters, is uncommonly graphic, interesting, characteristic and amusing, according to the information we have received from Central America. We do not despair of being enabled to furnish another one of these days, which will disclose further opinions of Sir Henry Bulwer, and perhaps lay open the wole policy of the British government in Cen- tral America,and all over this continent. Look out for some disclosures before long. New Mops or Reeviatine THe Press.—One of the most remarkable incidents, and perhaps unique, in the history of this country, is the recent attempt of the cabinet, through the action of the President of the United States, to put down the independence of a newspaper at Washington, and to regulate the press solely according to their will and pleasure. ‘We have never yet seen, in the history of the go- vernment, such anopen and palpable violation of the independence and liberty of the press; and we are astonished that it could have been coolly perpe- trated by General Taylor, with or without the ad- vice of his cabinet. Two editors have been ex- pelled from a newspaper, merely because they did not harmonize in feelings with the cabinet, and a new one has been appointed—making an exhibition of power over the press similar to that which exists only in Berlin, Vienna, or St. Petersburg. No where else in the broad U. States, but in Washington—in that dirty, mean, corrupt, showy, agreeable, cheat- ing, gentlemanly, genteel, shabby, and humbug- ging metropolis—could such an act of intimidation be perpetrated towards the independence and liber- ty of the press, as that presented to us in the ba- nishment of Bullet and Bragger, and in the substi- tution in their places of a talented stick of timber from the Treasury Department. ch of similarfeorrespondence, | InTeLLigeNcrk FRom Montvipro.—We have re- ceived files of the Commercio del Plata, to the 26th of February, ult. The Commercio comes to us in a reduced form, owing, as it states, to the destruc- | tion of its forms and type, by a gang which broke into the printing office on the night of the 1th of February, and made terrible havoc in the editor's | sanctum and the workmen’s parlor, dashing down all the cases, with all the type,to the ground, and breaking all the forms. The editor leaves the cause of this vandal exploit a mystery, and gives no further history of the actors and their motives than to call them malicious enemies, whom he suspects to be the emissaries of Resas. These papers are filled with interesting ex- tracts, translated from the Paris papers, upon the La Plata question, in which Rosas aad his Lieute- nant, Oribe, come in for a share of the ill odor which their conduct seems eminently to deserve. Of news, or other intelligence worth transcribing, tone and contents of these papers, Montevideo is highly flourishing commercial settlement of French, Spaniards and Italiens, enjoying peace, order, and tranquillity, notwithstanding the presence of the army of Oribe in the interim, and the oceupation of the whole country of the Oriental republic by Rosas and hie General, with the single exception of the city of Montevideo. Altogether, this interesting part of the world exhibits a singular spectacle of confusion, political perplexity, disorder and dark- ness. ‘Temperance Meeting. THE REMARKS OF BARNTM, OF THK AMERICAN MUSEUM. On Thursday evening a large and respectable audience assembled at the Tabernacle, ostensibly as a mark of reepect to a well knowa temperance advocate. A considerable interest was added to the meeting, by the announcement that Mr. P. T. Barnum, of the Museum, would address the au- dience. The Hon. James Harper presided, and at eight o'clock the meeting was opened with an ap te er by the Rev.

Troops for Cuba— Further BM vements— Departure Of the Steamer Creole with Gen, Soper, Ses, Se. At has turned out as I surmised, that the steamer Oreoie was purehased for the Cuban expedition. She left on Wednesday night, crowded full of troops for the rendezvous. Just before she started, one of the hotel stages, I am told, filled with dark complexioned, mustachoed persons, and the boot heavily laden with baggage, drove up to the wharf where she was lying, ut Lafayette. From the deference which was shown to them, it is sup- posed that the company must have consisted of Gen. Lopez and staff. In a short tine after, the Creole swung out in the streem, turned her head down, and was off for ports at present unknown, The crowd on board gave three cheers, which were responded to from the wharf. The Creole is commanded by Capt. Le’ formerly an officer in the Texan Navy. She is adveitised to leave on Saturday next. Another vessel, a schooner, left ‘mysterioush last night. She cleared for * Sisal and a market.” T will find out what [ ean about her during the day.
