New York, Saturday, June 1, 1550, ~ More European Newss The steamship Hermann, taking the recent short passages of the steamer Asia, and of the packet- ships Havre, London, and Wellington, is due at this port to-day, with two days? later intelligence frem Europe. She arrived at Southampton on the A7tb ult., from Bremen, and would leave on Mon- day, the 20th, for New York Telegraphic from Washington, The funeral rites in honor of Mr. Elmore, were performed yesterda The Senate passed the bill fer the branch mint in this city, and the attempt to deley the public business until next Monday week, on the part of Mr. Hale, was rebuked by the vote. Mr. Clay opposed the summer dress movement, and very properly. There has been time enough wasted already. @eneral Taylor and His Cabinct are Be- ginning to Show Their Hands, ‘@n the subject of slavery and the new territories, the cabinet is exhibiting their policy in such a way as will make the present Presidency memorable ia the hietory of the country. The national popularity of General Taylor, and the reckless ambition of his cabinet, blended and mixed together, are about laying the foundation of a deep rooted and perma- ment change in the policy of this republic—a change that must pave the way toa general revolution, if Rot disunion, at no distant day. For twenty years past, the anti-slavery fanatics ‘and socialists of the North had been endeavoring, ‘with little success, to excite the anti-slavery feel- fings of the free States against the social institu- ions end constitutional rights of the South. The imtroduction of the Wilmot proviso as a party mea- ware, springing out of the annexation of New Mexico and California, interfered at once with the system of government and the policy produced by the action of two parties in Congress and among the people. For the last two or three years, the discussion springing out of this proviso has agitated the country to an extreme length, and to a threaten- img result. Nothing, however, has been seriously apprehended from this isolated movement of the Northern factions, until, during the present ad- ministration, we see the cabinet installed in power mnder the popularity of General Taylor, rapidly as- suming the anti-slavery ground, and making it con- stitute one of the frst principles of their future eourse and policy. General Taylor has been in power more than a year; that year, however, haw only been a series of experiments devised by his cabinet, in order to reach come platform where they could act upon these anti-slavery feelings and tendencies, with free and efficiency. The recent changes in the cabinet newspapers at Washington, and the like tone of various journals in their interest throug! out the country, indicate that, under the popularity of the Hero of Buena Vista, the cabinet are now Yepidly acsuming their meditated ground and de- vised policy, founded on the anti-slavery senti- ments of the country, and in direct hostility to the imteresis and rights of the Southern Sta’ The epposition which the Compromise of Mr. Clay be- gins to receive from the cabinet and its organs, ac- qsires a tenfold force from the popularity of the President and his acquiescence in such a course by his cabinet. The Wilmot proviso policy, in prac- tiee—not in name—will be more than realized in the course taken by the cabinet and its organs ; and there seems to be no probability of any other adjustment of the question, than the natural and inevitable application of that proviso to California and all the rest of the new territories We are prepared to see General Taylor's admin- istration, these new and terrible elements among the people of the free States, ride over all attempts to pass an adjustment in Congress— mENT AND Spain.—The recent piratical expedition from New Orleans to Cuba, originated and fitted Rescewt Exreprrion to Cusa—Ovn Govenn- out under the foolish pretence of a revolution, has closed its eareer of mingled tragedy and farce—the laughing stock of nations, and the reproach of every sensible mind. The instigators and origina- tors, with the chief aetors, are most of them in the territory of the United States. Some are in this city, some are in Florida, and some are posting, in hot haste, to New Orleans. Yet, though the expe- dition, so grandiloquently announced and so over- whelmingly defeated, is itself scattered, and without any existence, except as a fact in history, the consequences are to be met. The beginning of the end will demand the attention of our highest rulers. Important principles of national law and national justice will now spring up, to agitate the minds of men, and to arrest the attention of the go- vernment, and will become subjects of complica- ted diplomacy between Spain and the United States. This marauding expedition, according to all ac- counts, wes fitted out at New Orleans and in this They hovered about the Island of Cuba— d at the quiet port of Cardenas, on the north- ern coast of the island; landed under the cover of night, committed robbery and murder, carried off their booty, and finally made their escape to the United States. The loss of life was very conside- rable, the burning of the Governor’s house was a desperate act, and the whole transaction character- istic of buccaneers. Not the slightest insurrection justified the movement. By the treaties betweeen our government and that of Spain, as well as by the law of nations, we shall have a claim made upon this country for the outreges, and for the loss of life and property ; but, in the mean time, the perpetration of such deeds demands the action of our authorities*in New Or- leans, here, and elsewhere, where the expedition originated, and to which points the projectors and actors have now returned, and in which the origi- nators reside. If the government at Washington had any information, at any time previous to the sailing of the expedition from New Orleans, great culpability has been theirs, ia permitting themselves to overlook, even for a day, their duties under the neutrality laws. They might have acted before the chief was accomplished, before lives were sacrificed and property had been stolen, and a peaceable community placed in confusion and dan- ger by the assault of armed marau The idea of such an expdeition, like that of some of the piratical expeditions of the vikings of Nor- way, being excused under the plea of a possible re- volution, or of giving liberty to Cuba, is utterly fa- tile and ludicrously absurd. This will be apparent when we come to pay the bills for the damages.— By every principle of national law and justice, we shall find that Spain has not only a right to demand full indemnity for the outrages and murders com- mitted, but that she may also make a requisition upon us for Lopez and his associates, as pirates. As matters stand, therefore, we anticipate that a very knotty and intneate diplomatic correspondence will be opened between Spain and this country, before we may see the end of this unfortunate business, so destructive of the peace and life of a Spanish towa, and so full of disagreeable suspicions towards us as a friendly power to Spain. It is only by an ample national reparation, that we can wipe away the stain inflicted upon our character by individual folly and desparation. Disenion oF Tue Curistian Conreprracy.—The session of the new school Presbyterian General Assembly had reached its ninth day on Saturday last, and was tobe continued. All Detroit was ex- cited by the singular discussion going on upon the slavery question in that city, and the members of the Assembly seemed well aware of having taken up a subject that does not come within their i | | | whelm Mr. Cl dall the supporters of th promise—and bring into the action of the ge government new » nd a new policy, that will crush th in all their interest, in all their feelings, in due process of time.

Two reports had been made about the slavery question. The minority report was in favor of engrafting the question upon the religious tenets of the sect, as a part of the general platform. A Rev. Mr. Spear made a speech in favor of jt. He confined himself chiefly to the point, whether or nota Christian could be a slaveholder—and used considerable sqphistry upon the fifth section of the first chapter in the “ Book of Discipline.” This defines an offence against the chureh to be * some- thing contrary to the word of God, or which, if not in its own nature sinful, may tempt others to sin.” Starting out from this stand-point, as theolegians call it, he went at slavery with all possible em- phasis, but with very little discretion, and con- claded a harangue with a series of sophisms that showed a great lack of moral principle. The Rev. Mr. Townsend opposed the nonsense with some common-sense views, which were pungent in their ation; and séveral other speakers fired off sir big guns, amidst much noise and confusion. The scene showed that there is a split in the Assembly, and that the whole ecclesiastical body will be shattered to fragments by the political bomb-shell thrown in, to create an effect. The Presbyterians will find out their mistake, we fear, when it is too late to apply a remedy. The movements of the Presbyterians in the ‘West, and, to some extent, here at the East, with occasional sallies of patriotism and politics by other sects, and by a portion of the Methodists and Unitarians, are beginnivg to aid in the unholy work of breaking up the Union, which, once and a total abandonment of faith in God, in man, and all humane government. The Presbyterians and Congregationaliste, together with a small por- tion of the Baptists, are pushing forward to their own destruction, as well as that of the country.— Our whole safety seems to depend, anomalous as it may appear, upon the Catholics, the iscopa- . ond the truly pious and independent men all will place a wide gulf be- tween people and certain rules of r us dis- | j cipline. The Presbyterians are getting crazy, and fast le ar mind. Prot Dwight, Dr. Edwards, and, more ently, Dr. Smart, of Andover, with some other brilliant lumi- naries, have given boundaries to the topics of the church, which might have saved the de ndants | of the Puritans, in the integrity of their faith, but | they have been carried away by religious, young Americe, and nothing but confusion will be the re- sult. There was never amore fatal error commit: | » discoveries—the | | eh | cher, of Brook. has recently shown, by attempting to ted than the ambitious young Be lyn, ve h sles of the early Christians w - « never interfered with pe They did not interfere with slavery. Paul wrote epistles to Philemon, abou putative slave Onesimus, but he did not give Mr. Beecher any enue for his dis ce or for mixing up the Church of C with cabinet at Washington—as totally oppose ed to each other as any two things can be.— The early Christians were wise as serpents and harmless as doves. They did not mingle religion end politics in one cup. It was not till the time of Constantine that that experiment was made, and it was made on a seale that ought to be a lesson to the laity and clergy for all time to come. Evurope red and was convuleed under the shock, and s day has felt the effects of the folly. The Catholics and Episcopalions claim to be the imme- tot diate recipients of apostolic doctrine, and ia refer- ence to this subject, no doubt they are. They do not meddle with politics, but permut the civil laws, governors and all in authority to exercise their gitimate sway. Many other sects, by losing sight of truth, are in danger. mation Waxtren.—Who called a journeyman cut-throat T” Who ant, the poet, “a liar and a villain tT Daniel Webster names we dare not Can Philosopher Greeley unravel these ries ?

The music of their voices and instruments has had a powerful influence upon the people, both here and in Boston; and we doubt if it will be possible again to start an expeditton against the place of their great triumphe—their home. more to give correet notions of society, taste, and elegance, in Havana, than a hundred books of tra- vels could do; and there is too much desire among “all clases here to have a continued enjoyment of such exhibitions of art, to permit even the rumors of war to interrupt the harmonious relations be- tween Cuba and this country, now firmly estab- They have done lished. These vocalists, afew weeks ago, had a powerful effect upon the community, and they will make their rentrée next Monday, at the Astor Place Opera Howee, to renew their power upon society, and to eonfirm our high opinions of the elegant taste of the citizens of Havana. In Bosten they have done wonders. Single seats have sold as high as $18 50 each, and on Wednesday evening the premiums on single seats ran as high as seven dollars each. The maneger, Senor Pader, has concluded the campaign in that city, by giving the entire receipts of the last performance to the pdor of the city. He will now come here, to see what New York people can do, and to find out whether Greeley would sooner give fifty dollars for the in- vasion of Cuba, than the same amount to hear delicious vocalization. Generally, we presume that while not more than a thousand dollars could be raised in the city, to pay for the losses on the Creole expedition, twenty thousand dollars would be freely contributed, in a couple of weeks, for the great opera exhibition. This shows which way the popular mind jumps to conclusions. The strange beings, Moses Y. Beach, and the Cuban Junta, in this city, are quite at a loss what todo. They know that no excitement can be ob- tained while the Opera is here, in favor of their re- volutionary scheme. Even now, they are over- whelmed with the approach of the army of vocal- ists, and the loss of Gen. Lopez. They would, pro- bably, give a thousand dollars of Plainfield money to know where Lopez is, and what he intends to do. Between hisabsence and the coming of the Opera, they are dead beat. If they cannot gain any intel- ligence, turn again upon the invisibilities of Strat- ford, or to the mountains inthe moon. So we go. Liveratvre on Tue INperenpent Paincieue.— Mrs. Caroline E. Rush, of Philadelphia, now resi- ding in this city, at No. 91 Chambers street, has issued a prospectus of a new book, at one dollara copy, to be called “ Robert Morton, or the Step- mother.” The volume will comprise about two hundred pages, and will be of a highly interesting character. Mrs. Rush awaits the patronage of the Tich, the fashionable and literary denizens of the metropolis, at her residence ; and we have no doubt that ehe will do much better than she would in em- ploying a publisher in the trade of book-making. Publishers do a great deal for authors in the way of fame, but positively nothing in the way of bread and butter. They gain a great deal of eredit for enterprise, without making any return to authors. Mrs. Rush seems to be well aware of this, and, therefore, issues her work on the independent prin- ciple—takes a business-like view of the whole matier—manufactures her work in the best man- ner, and invites the public to purchase. This is the course that all authors should pursue who find it hard work to give all their labor for the benefit of publishing houses. As there may be some inquiry to know who Mrs. Rush is, and as she is a candidate for fame, we may state, very properly, that ehe is not the wealthy lady of that name, whe lives in Chesnut street, Philade]phia—but is the distinguished literary lady, of No. 59 North Tenth street, above Arch, in that Both of these ladies are distinguished, but for dif- ferent reasons. Both are connected with the de- ecendants of the celebrated signer of the Declara- tion of Independence. One is rich and liberal, at ease, and Wealthy ; the other ts poor, but pretty, industrious, and literary, with two orphans to eup- port. The former might contribute of her riehes, without missing it, a sum annually, to the latter; and the latter might make handsome re- turns, by a reciprocity with her mental treasure. This, however, is scarcely to be expected, till the year 2,346, or thereabouts. Society does not yet sufficiently esteem the wealth which “the ex hor mind Brings from the caves ctuncwfedge In the present state of things, then, all the public can de—and all true literary persons will not forget their duty—is to eall upon Mrs. Rush, in Cham- bers street, and commence the creation of a new epoch in the world of letters, by subscribing to the new work.

And, furthermore, the police of the lower wards have mueh more laborious duties to perform, and their living expenses are nearly, if not quite, double those of up-town. This we believe to be disproportionate, and we cheerfully draw the attention of the special com- mittee to that fact; and, if they should not conclude to increase the salary of the whole force, it is probable they will take the equity of the matter into considera- tion, and thereby equalize the salary aceording to the outlay made by the policemen in their respective wards.

Thompson; he came to live on the premises of Mr. Bennet in July last; samo time in the latter part of October, I was on a visit to Mr. Bennet; I was in the pantry, in the basement, making bread; I heard Thompson say that bis uncle made the torpedo box, and he (Thompson) made the torpedo at the request of a Mr. Warner or Warren, I cannot say which he said it was, to be sent to some place in New York, to a Mr, Warner, or Warren, I cannot say which; I think Thompson spoke of a colored man, who was to take it; at that time I had never heard of any, torpedo box having been sent to any ene; I was ‘at that time residing in Brooklyn; I did not see Thomp- son often at Mr. Bennet’s house; he would come occa- sionally to borrow some domestic articles; at the con- versation alluded to, I cannot say how long it was; my attention was first attracted by Miss Bennet exclaim- ing “hueh,” when I heard the “torpedo box” men- tioned; I heard Thompson say something about Drury; that Thompson said the world was not large enough for him and Drury. Ki Cross examination,—T have resided in Mr. Bennet’s family for ten years; I have alw: terms with them, except some domestic (laughter) I left the last of October, and after I left I juently visited them; I have seen Fg cr frequently call at the house, sometimes for eggs, butter, &e., and some- times his family would come; Thompson might have visited the house as often as once or twice a week, or he may not—I cannot say exactly.

Mr. Smith,for the defence,stated that he heldit to be his right to put just such questions as would tend to impeach the credibility ot the witness, and it was for that purpese he was prosecuting a rigid examination. ‘The magistrate ruled that counsel for the de- nee must’ confine himself to the tacts shown, on the direct evidence.
