New York, Wednesday, May 23, 1850, rom Washington—Telegraphie. There isa war in Washington. All the skirm- ishing has resulted, et last, in a regular stand-up fight. Masks are thrown aside, and a battle has eommenced. Mr. Clay has thrown down the gevntlet, and it is to be seen whether or not the President will pick it up. See our telegraphic news. A stormy debate has Jed to this estate of things. Patriotism could hold out no longer. Mr. Clay has fired the Senate and his friends on the com- promise bill, and will stand, or fall, upon the grand issue. See our Senate reports. ‘We shall know soon what the contemptible, yet tyrannical, cabinet will do. The wrath of the whole netion is concentrated over them; and, if they tempt the terrors of the storm, they will prove as insensible as rock, and as invulnerable as iron. We are glad that the crisis has come, in its present plain and unmistakeable shape. We shall soon know where the country is. See all the news from Washington. The interference with the Cuban expedition is well understood by the great practical statesmen of the day. Mir. Clay has given his opinion of that movement—to has Mr. Yulee and Mr. Webster, and others. They all vary in their mode of treat- ing the subject, but all their thoughts point one way. Look out for the cabinet. Read all the pews. ‘We must be prepared for a sudden and important hange at Washington. Change must come. The News by the Europa: The steamship Europa arrived at Halifax on Monday night, by which we have a telegraphic synopsis of later foreign news, and may expect our fites by her arrival here to-morrow. The commer- ial advices are still remarkably exciting, and the political intelligence presents some very striking points. ‘The chief topic in England was the increase of fteom navigation, and there were many projects on foot for the improvement and enlargement of the wteam marine of the country. Among the new de- signs isfone that has been talked of for many years— the connection of the western ports of Ireland with Ualifax by a line of steamers. This is a very im- portant movement—important to Ireland, and of very grave interest to the commercial men of Liver- pool. Ithas been the policy of England, as all the world knows, to restrict Irish enterprise, but this is a field that has not yet been touched by the prohi- bitions of Parliament, or the edicts of Downing wtrect. It may be looked upon as one of the most i ant m es connected with the future proeperity of Ireland. The German Empi re is still in a situation of per- plexed confusion. Austria and Prussia are strug- gling to gain and preserve all the power possible. Austria, however, ia pressing so closely, that it | aay not be surprising if some considerable commo- tion should ensue.

BNovewewr ix Arp of Destrrete Femates.—We prblivsh elsewhere, thie morning, a Jetter from the Mion.

The plan mig&t be well adopted in thie city, and preye of inealcuialty benetis, tand d + itis dive } Bri ju of We have received some rough intimations from ‘Washington—not exactly upon the plan of the Rochester knockings—that there is a certain cu- rious and mysterious understanding between cer- tain members and attachés of the cabinet at Wash- ington, and some leaders and fomentors of the recent military expedition which started from New Orleans to make a descent upon, and an at- tempt to revolutionize, the Island of Cuba. If there be any truth in theee intimations, it would appear that some portions of General Taylor’s administra- tion have been cognizant of the movement in all its steps, and of all the preparations taken for the expedition now on its course. Yet the avowed poljcy of General Taylor’s administration, as dis- closed in his proclamation against the attempt meditated last summer, and as contained in the late naval orders issued to certain vessels on the Cuba statien, would all seem to indicate a decided and positive hostility to any attempt, st the present time, looking to revolution or a descent upon the island of Cuba. But, when we reflect upon other disclosures, and upon the general weakness of the present cabinet, we shall not be surprised to dis cover, that!while General Taylor advises openly and above-board the discountenancing any such expedition, as contrary to the treaty with Spain, yetcertain managing, intriguing spirits about the cabinet are secretly aiding and abetting the adven- ture, in order to be able to raise a new issue, and get rid of the dilemma into which their imbecility, their corruption, their nepotism, and their inca- pacity, have put them before the American people. Lei us explain. It will be reco!leeted that some curious opinions, originating with Mr. Clayton himself, upon this subject, were disclosed in the famous ‘ Brega Cor- dence,” which we published, for the first tin st autumn, in our celumns. In the various conversations which Mr. Clayton held with Mr. Brega, disclosing the political views of the govern- t, there was one passage which particalarly struck us with surprise, and that was a conversa- tion in reference to the policy of the government in view of the future lib on and fate of the Island of Cuba. In these disclosures, Mr. Clayton did not hesitate to declare his opinionand his views to be in favor of the separation of Cuba from the authority and control of Spain. He did not, in- deed, make known the steps by which this was to be accomplished; but there was no doubt but that he approved of it. He also, on another occasion, with other members of the cabinet, expressed a warm sympathy in favor of the movements made in various parts of the country, having for their ob- ject an expedition to the island of Cuba. It must be admitted, however, that the proclamation of the President, last summer, a; t the attempt then made, would seem to convey a different idea of the purposes and views of Mr. Clayton and the cabinet. Recent events, however, and the terrible difficul- ties which they have involved themeclves in, with their own party and the country, may have brought back the same impulses which, in the early part of the adm ration, they did not hesitate to avow to Mr. Brega, in those famous interviews of which he sketched the general outlines in his very valuable correspondence. A weak cabinet is always ready to snatch at popular questions, and to connect them- selves with popular excitement, when they are plunged in inextricable difficulties by their own folly or corruption. A variety of circumstances connected with the recent expedition, would seem to warrant a con- firmation of these suspicions in relation to the real purposes of the cabinet, notwithstanding the appa- rent alecrity with which they have busied them- telves in sending out orders to intercept the Lopez expedition. It is well known that the headquarters of General Lopez, a short time before the starting of the expe- dition, were et Washington. He had rooms at the Irving Ilouse, Pennsylvania avenue, where he re- sided the greater part of last winter, and he fre- queutly visited at the soirées of the secretaries and the President. His councils were openly held and talked of in public throughout the winter, and they even published a promunciamento, undisguisedly avowing their views and purposes, and saying that their headquarters were at acertain place in Wash- ington. Now, all these things were well known to the cabinet during all the last winter, and several of the leaders of the expedition were even persons intimate with the administration. Now, if such was the intercourse between the leaders of the movement against Cuba, and the friends of the cabinet, to say nothing of the cabinet ministers themselves, there must have been some kind of mutual understanding ; and the intentions of the patriots could not have been unknown to the cabinet, throughout the whole present Con- grese, till the present moment. Infact, we have reasons for believing that every step taken in re- ference to the fitting out of this expedition, was per- fectly known before, by certain adherents of the cabinet, and to certain members of the cabinet themeelves. If this inference and natural supposi- tion be cerrect, there must have been a purpes and a very curious purpose, contemplated ia delay. resp ing public notice of the sailing of the expedition till | after it had started from New Orleans, in all its foree and numbers. How do we kaow but that the American squadron may not have received direct orders ike such a position as would leave the struggle to be between Lopez and the Spanish au- thorities alone? How do we know, (when all parties are beyond the waters of the United States,) that the American squadron may not advise the te with it in maintaining a neutral position, things to be decided between the in- anish authorities themselves? If as made last week, vader such cireum- and the invading army should be meelves, even ia entrenchments pment, but one month, whocan doubt that j a tremendous excitement would be created in the South, spreading itself northwards, and that all the » have been boiling up during the nths in Congress, would then be all ec, ew y, and carried down the flood, by the fresher, the newer, and the more positive excitement growing out of such a etate of things in Cobat? Taking all these facts and circumstances in con- nection, and tracing. them to their natural infer- ences and conclusions, we are not sure but that a certain portion of the cabinet are favorable to the ey on now set sail, in spite of the apparent show of alacrity in stirring themselves in the busi- ness a fall week after the sailing of the expedition. It is certain that in the early part of last year, Mr. Clayton was decidedly in favor of the libera- tion of Cubs, and avowed that to be his policy, in | opposition to the views of the Eritieh upon the island—thongh he did not, of course, designate how, or by what means, that independence was to be brought about. A warsprong up from such cir- stances in the Island of Cuba, having in view to h the separation and independence of that dependency, would, without doubt, create an in- ense feeling and interest throughout the United ‘The expedition itself, in opposition to the d Stotes government, would be futile and ri- It could not eueceed, and would end ia disester to the invaders.

Not obtaining so much excitement from the Cuba movement, as is desira- ble for the grand results it se anxiously awaits, it gives us some of the remarkable accounts of the clairvoyant, Andrew Jackson Davis. It appears from these, that a friend of Mr. Davis “‘paseed from the earth, through the opening at one of the poles” —whether the North or the South does not appear— and that there were a good many more of the same sort, upon the same journey. They travelled some millions of miles, from one planet to another; sa- tistied themselves that the great Moon story was a veritable fact; and consequently that the Sun is a reliable source of information. It is very lucky that Andrew Jackson Davis's new work—the “Great Harmonia’—has come out at this time. The Sun will be much benefitted by it. The mysterious knockings were one complete failure, and the Cuba invasion has promised to be a great hoax; but the fact that there are successful expeditions of brave spirits continually going out from the poles, and invading the planets, seems to give some reasonable hopes of a divine origin to the Cuban affair. We have no doubt that the origin of the one is as divine asthe other. They ge out from the great beach of mortality, to all those points which are marked by revolutions. The revolution ot Cuba, and the revolutions of the planets, are of the same kind; and an expedition to the former is as certain of success as any to the latter. “Affinities” are the studies of the planet seekers, and ‘‘annexations” of the Cuban hunters —so that the same process appears to be going on allover the universe. It appears, therefore, that this is not the age of progress, but the age of an- nexation. The expeditions confined to the earth are by means of water, but those which are of a more ambitious character, are directed in a more mysterious way. Whether the cabinet will deem it good policy to instruct the Franklin expedition to go out at the North pole, to save the moon and the | various planets from the invasions which the friend of Mr. Davis assures us are going on, remains to be eeen. It is all very curious. Hyrocrisy axp Morats.—For some time past, our amiable cotemporary of the Tribune has been assuming that he is the receptacle of all the virtue ofthe age. He has attacked a great many institu- tions which are not conducted on the socialist plan, such as the Anatomical Museum, for instance; but he has reserved his whole strength for an onslaught upon the theatres, describing them witha degree of licentious expression, that the lowest newspaper would scarcely transcend. He hates them, as all tyrants ever have—as Clemens of Alexandria hated statues with pious horror, because Heaven aloae should have the power of creation. At the same time, the philosopher of communism, the soft- tongued disciple of Fourier, the tiery-fingered apostle of Louis Blane, is like the pimp who deplores his profession. He hates the wickedness, but he has no objection to take part of the epoils. For ten | years he has advertised for these immoral theatres, and, in that time, has realized by} the operation | about ten thousend dollars in hard eash—a pretty | handsome sum to build up a pious indignation upon, | all must admit; and we supsose that, for the next | ten yeure, he will take as much more, and increase | his virtuous oratory in proportion to the amount of | his gains. In order to make himself conspicuous, however, on this subject, the philosopher and eom- munist should take one step more. He should en- dow some new institution fer the amusement of the people—get up some grand representation of a pha- lanstery, with its internal organizations, freedoms, communism, and equal balance of property, mind and morals, to make @ substitute for the theatres which he will destroy by the agony of his wounded virtue. Garrison and Abbd Foster would help him in this matter, and give a color to the whole pro- ceeding, that would be quite exciting. Do some- thing, Horace. Goop News rox tux Noxrutrn Faawer ax Tux Souturrn Corton PLanten.—The news by the Europa is cheering to the cotton planter of the South, and the grain grower ofthe North. The recent high price of cotton is firm, and sales great—the price of breadetuffs has made quite a start. If these move- ments continue, the edvance will help to pay our increasing foreign debt, incurred for the large im- portations of silks to flaunt in Broadway—wines to drink—and all the luxuries of Europe. The short- ness of the last crop of cotton, and the prospect of | an equally short crop this year, will sustain the cotton rise. The terrible rush of the North and ‘Weet for California will undoubtedly diminish the crop of breadstufis for 1850, and so the price will rise still higher, in all probability.

Owing to va- rious unavoidable circumstances, we understand its departure is likely to be delayed a few days. It will probably sail, however, by the end of the week, as strenuous exertions are being made to complete every necessary arrangement at the ear- liest possible period. The enterprise, as our readers are probably aware, has been planned and undertaken on the sole reeponsibility of Mr. Grinnell; the only as- sistance rendered by Congress being summed up in a resolution which recently passed both houses at Washington. This resolution, in effect, authorized the President to receive the vessels, and detail from the navy such commission and warrant of- ficers and seamen as may be necessary and wil- ling to engage therein, supply them with suitable rations for not exceeding three years, and give the use of all necessary instruments as can be spared from the navy—the officers and men, in all re- spects, to be under the laws of the navy until their return, when the vessels shall be delivered back to Mr. Grinnelt. The vessels fitted for the expedition are named the Advance and Rescue, being hermaphrodite brigs, of a tonnage of 144 and 91 tons respectively. In their build, fittings and capabilities, they seem in every way suited for the dangerous service in which they willengage. Each vessel is strength- ened inside with a coimplete set of hi ng knees under every beam. They are built with an extra set of etrong beams running athwart the whole length of each vessel, firmly fastened with heavy clumps. The object of this is to enable them bet- ter to resist the lateral pressure to which they will probably be exposed by the ice, and obviate the danger of the sides being forced in. Forward, the ships are solid from kelson to deck; and there are strong shores diverging in every direction from the Samcon posts against [the sides of the vessels.— This provision will be an additional source of strength, should the huils of the ships get entangled in masses ef floating ice. Each shi is double decked, felt beieg firmly packe between each, the whole of the under deck being liaed air-tight with cork. The felt packing is an important provision to prevent the intense cold pe- netrating between decks, and the cork lining is in- tended to prevent the moisture from condensing. The hull of each vessel is double; the outside eee consisting of two-and-a-half inch oak plank ; the second sheathing, from her bows, fore and alt, abaft the main rigging, being of oak also. Forward, the bows are protected with numerous strips of thick sheet iron, to prevent the ice cuttin, into the hull. The rudders also are so constructet that they can be shipped or washipped in the course of three minutes. In the construction of these vessels, nothing reems forgotten that would tend to insure greater strength, or conduce to the comfort and safety of the heroic men who have volunteered their ser- vices for this praiseworthy yet perilous undertaking. Each ship is provided with several sioves, a large one being placed in each hold. A machine for melting snow, a blackstith’s forge, ice saws, ice anchors, and every other necessary implement for an Arctic voyage, ure included in the fittings. The brigantines are furnished with two complete sets of sails, cordage, &c., and are provisioned for three years. Weapons of “ offence and defence” have, of course, not been omitted, there being an le supply of swivels, guns, sabres, revolvers, Xc. fe must add, that each ship is ee with an ordi- nary compass and _— double-needle compass, the Jatter being to be freer from vacilla- tion then the ordinary instrument.

Some of the friends of the old mure were wiliing to attribute her defeat in the lust heat to this accident, and brought ous their wal- lets for more of the odds that were offered on Moscow, Oncoming to the reore, neither of the nags showed distress from the last heat, and at the word dashed away more vigorously thun before, going side aud side to the drawgute, where Moscow broke up, giving Suf- folk a lead to the quorter of about four lengths, which the made in thirty-eight seconds. The gray mare kept this advantege to the half mile poie, passing there in 1:16, Round the lower turn, and up the home ttretch Moscow gained on Suffolk, aud w to her as crossed the score, Time, 2 broke up e came to the stand, and ag: opened a wide gap. At the quarter pole, Suffolk broke up, and Moscow got close to her before she recovered. A most exciting and splendid strug- le then ensued—they went side and side down he back stretch, and seemed as if yoked together round the lower turn; but coming on the home stretch, Moscow shot ahead of Suffolk, and, in an instant, took the track from her, which caused her to break up and full off three or four lengths to the score. Lady Mos- cow made the two miles in 6:06, Round to the halt mile, Moscow beat the old mare more and more, and was forty yards abead when she reached there. Mr. Case then ‘tlackened his pace, and knowing well that he had speed enough to win yhen ealied for, came home, cautiourly and at a very moderate gait, Uhree lengths in front of Lady Suffolk, making the heat in 7:6233.

This state of things has been stimulated by the expected loads of gold dust from California, but the most immediate cause of the increased activity on the Stock Exchange may be traced directly to the sneceseful operations in the securities ef the Erie Railroad Company, which were commenced nearly four months ago, and which, for bold and reckless daring, have had ne parallel in Wall street for many years. The managers of this company have led these transactions in person. They are daily reen on ‘Change, and on the corners of the streets, dealing out the cards and presiding over the game with all the eesurance of well-skilled taeticiuns in a different kind of traffi The managers of the Erie Railroad Company have placed the concern amongst the most dubious eorpora- tions of the Stock Exchange. Under the present di- rection, it can no longer lay claim to any other posi- tion than that which, in former years, distinguished the Morris Canal, tbe Marlem Railroad, and a host of other equally objectionable corporations. They have thought proper to lose sight of everything but their own private speculations; and, in order to secures successful result te those, have resorted to every expe- dient thet human ingenuity could devise, to advance the market value of the securities. All other ques tions have given way to that one, end it would be well, for the community to consider for one moment how the account stands between themeelves and this im- maculate company. The upward movemont in the markt value of: the Erie second mortgage bonds commenced, after’ a system of depression had beed earried on for: weeks, by a clique of speculators connected with the company, and pricos had depreciated from 8 to Sls per cent. That being the lowest point it ap- peared possible to press them, the company seized the opportunity to make a rale of nearly $1,000,000, at 80 per cent, or, rather, the company had borrowed money of the-clique of speculators er finaneicrs connected with it, on a hypotheeation ef $1,000- 000, at 80 per cent, and they seized the opportu- nity to close the loan and take the bonds in pay~. ment, when the market had touched, as they enpposod, the lowest point. The stock fell off on the same day to 564 a 57. By pulling with ekill and shrowdnes the wires bebind the scenes ; by cireulating the mog ex- travagant and highly colored etatemente “of)/earn ings, in a form at onee deceptive and improper; by keeping out of sight anything calculated to weaken public confidence, and issuing statements ealeulated™ to increase and strengthen It, they have managed to fell the bonds at an advance of nearly twenty por cent, thus apparently dividing from the poekets oF the public, nearly $200,000 cloar. The stoek has been carried up $24 per share, and the community age stil invited to invest their money, while the managers know that, thus far, a dividend bas mever been made from the earnings, and cannot be after the Ist of Jaly, 1851, un- til the income certificates of at least $3,500,000 are paid When the stock was selling at 60 per eent, one direc tor, it was raid, owned about 5,000 sharce, The advance fince is equal to a profit of $100,000. This isa pretty fair business, and gives him a capital to work on, in sustaining the market. This ts all very well #0 long as it Insts, but settling day must come, and then we submit whether the community will not be the suffer- ere, If the advance in this stock was solely upon its own morite—if it wae Ikely, or even if there was a remote possibility of its being permauent—if the atoeic. ‘was worth what it is now selling for, and its earnings equal toa fair dividend on its market value, the ecom- munity would suffer nothing by the rapid appreeiation; Dut as the improvement is entirely «peculative, and» is based wholly upon the ability or determination of a clique of speculators to carry it, there must be a rutn- ous reaction, and thove who are induced to purchase at present prices will, we fear, find a foarful yacwum in: their pockets. if foreed hereafter to realise, No mar in his senses can for a moment believe that the stock of thie company ean be desirable aan investment for many yeare It is not the bank for the widow or the orphan, or the moderate man of business, to inrast their money in.
