By the California news via New Orleans, it will be perceived that another tre- mendous invoice of gold is on its way to the shores of the Atlantic. Tho proceedings of the Southern | Convention will be read with avidity by all who are | interested in the great topic of the day. Indeed, it will appear, thet the whole mags of news by tele- graph and the mails, is worthy of deep consideration. The Relations of the United States with Spain—Rather Squally. ‘The very important intelligence from Washing- ton, which we published yesterday, and the de- tails of which eppear in our columns to-day, giving an inkling of the diplomatic correspon- dence between Mr. Clayton, the Secretary of State, and M. Celderon de la Barca, the Spanish Minis- ter, on the recent attempt to revolutionize the island of Cube, has created considerable sensation in this commannity, and alarmed, in a more than usual ex- tent, our commercial and naval interests. We have ne doubt that that ill-fated, unprincipled, ridi- eulour, if not piratical expedition, has laid the foundation of a great deal of difficulty between the United States and the Spanish authorities. But how far theve difficulties and diplomatic differences may lead to a rupture between the two countries, it is hardly fair to guess, without a full perusal of all the correspondence, and all the official details, which may have passed between the ministers of the two powers, or which may yet take place be- fore many weeks. The Spanish race and the Spanish government yet retaina great deal of their ancient pride. This will be met, undoubtedly, by equal obstinacy, determination, and popular im- pulses, of the American republic, condensed in the hands of a weak cabinet, anxious to touch the national heart. The collision between these two elements may lead to a great deal of disturbance; and uuless much care is taken, and forbearance observed, by the diplomatists on both sides, we should not be at all surprised to see it end in some- thing like a war between the two countries. With rerpect to the conduct and policy ef the two governments in reference to the laws of na- tions, to their respective treaties, and to their in- ternal regulations, it is difficult also, at this time, to form a correct or extended opinion. We have only newspaper accounte, both of the fitting out of the expedition, of its failare in Cuba, of the arrest of Americans on the coast of Mexico, and of the probable execution of some, and the reservation of the rest for a bloody and ignominious death. The American government have their national daties to perform during the time of peace. The American government must also protect the lives of those eitizens who, &ccording to our jaws, and without violating the treaties, may not be considered strictly amenable to Spanish authorities or Spanish vengeance. We have no doubt that the instincts and good sense of the chief magistrate—of General Taylor himeelf—will take a more decided and aotive pert in this business than the mere pride and policy of those forming his imbecile cabinet, seek- ing popularity to cover its errors and corruptions. We would trust sooner to the honest instincts of the President, exercised on a correct statement of the facts, than to all the diplomacy and all the tact that may be attempted by the cabinet or their advisers. The unpopularity of this cabinet may drive them, in the present dilemma, to inflame the qearre), and multiply the diffi ea between the twe governments ; but we trust the good sense and | American ir ts of the President himself, will | take that decided direction, and that positive | shape, calculated to do justice between the rights | of the two courftries as recognised by the treaties | and the laws of nations, without violating in any | der idual rights of American citizens that may have unfortunately fallen into the hands of the 5; norities. The ¢ ow broken out between the two gevernm ng in a war on the subject of Cube, w diy be a very popular move- ment among a certain portion of the American people.

On that same night the Dorchester Bank was entered, and the robbery dis- covered accidentally next day. The Bank has al- ready offered a reward of $2,000 for the diseovery of the robbers, or of any of them; and we shall not be at all surprised to see an attempt made, in afew days, to give up one of the rascals, but to keep back the leading und principal ones, to have them always on hand for future operations in other parts. In respectto other bank robberies, it seems that two young men have been arrested by the police at Cleveland, Ohio, for the late robbery at that place, ge of being the guilty parties. We have d any account of their names ; but from certain circumstances which have transpired, we are led to believe that the keys with which the en- try was made into the premises at Cleveland, were manufactured in this city and sent or carried to on the ch | the young men there, by some of the stool-pigeon gang, for the express purpose. Nothing has yet been heard of the robbery of that jewelry store at Baltimore; but, singular to relate, another attempt has been made upon amoneyedinstitution—a savings bank—at Baltimore, and was on the eve of being successful, as has been already reported in the pa- pers. All these bank robberies, amounting to nearly 100,000 dollars, (not quite so much as the Galphia fraud) taking place in different parts of the country, | one after another, have most likely a commen ori- gin, and spring from the same gang of thieves, burg- eon rogues, and people of that descrip- tion, Whose head-quarters, aiders and abettors, are | in this mig hty metropolis. Tue Nasnvitte Convention.—The Southern Convention, at Nashville, has begun very well—iu- deed, much better than was anticipated here at the North. If it proceeds, as it has commenced, in a calm, patriotic and consistent course, in favor of the Union, it will elevate its character, notwith- standing the premonitions of those who supposed that the whole affair would be a failure, or would create such ill-feeling asto jeopardize the harmoay existing between the States—the very thing de- We con- gratulate the South on their course, then, thus far. It has quite astonished the Northern people. The abolitionists are taken quite aback; and the fact that the convention opened with a fervent prayer to Divine Grace, forthe preservation off the Union, is considered by them a very wonderful phase in the proceedings. The abolitionists had established vast hopes that those who, as they have supposed, are in the habit of oppressing the black sons and daughters (according to philosopher Greeley) of white Adam and Eve, and ef eating the fat young ones as game—a kind of black ducks—would come together like cannibals and Hannibals, and create one scene cf confusion and discord. The Nashville Convention, however, bids fair to have, on the whole, a much better influence than has been looked for. It is difficult to say what course will be taken, in summing up the opinions of the delegates into a round of reso- lutions. Mr. Clay’s Compromise, probably, will not be very favorably viewed. It is more probable that the extension of the Missouri line will be insisted upon as the only just and equitable measure. Should the elements of the convention prove that it has come together pre- maturely, an adjourament may take place till the rapidly increasing opposition to the compro- mise of Mr. Clay, and to that of the cabinet, has gained delegates from al! the Southern States. In this way, the whole action will be suspended till next year, when the possibility ef uniting with more efiect may be more promising than at present. Little can be done during the present year. Faswionatia Morats axp Marniaons.—The many curious family feuds in this eountry, as exhi- bited by applications for divorees, and for public separations of life partners, are subjects of a great deal of public discussion. Kecent events between the scion of a wealthy and distinguished family in Boston, and the daughter of an eminent and pros perous femily in Louisville, have added another link to the long chain of proof that marriages are too often unhappy unions among the wealthy of this country. In these contracts, it would appear that ambition, end not love, founded upon respect and admiration of worth, forms these alliances. We are introducing one of the greatest evils of English sociely—money matches—a system calculated to build up an exclusive class, and to bring about other moral results, whieh are painfully visible in Europe. It seems exceedingly strange how the children of our wealthiest citizens depart from the prin- ciples which have established their fathers in high positions. Allowed large freedom—taught to look down upon the respectable, edueated poor, as be- neath their consideration—young ladies and young gentlemen frequently make those misalliances which terminate only in the destruction of their happiness. The whole evil may be summed up in ene idea—that of a desire to be of the highest class. Daughters are taught to look for wealthy husbands—sons for wealthy daughters; and in rich femilies, it is seldom that the youthful mem- | bers have the judgment to bestow their affections Ocea- M | sionally instances occur, and perfeet happiness is | on eny one out of the moneyed circle. the result. Who would not admire the alliance of the beautiful daughter of one of the wealthiest families of Boston to a poor clergyman, rather than that of the unfortunate son of one of the richest men of that city, to the wealthy daughter of a Southern fomily ? The former, cut off from a rich inheritance, by a prudent marriage of the heart, in retirement, the admiration of the world, i} | is the reason that Mr. Phillips, the nether mill- stone of the Distriet Attorney, (David Grahuw be- ing hie upper millstone) does not gall upon the stand,'to give testimony in this case, Mrs. Warner and herdaughter, Mrs. Coleman, and young Mr. Warmer! These three persons have a great deal of correet and reliable information te communicate | in this case, and if ealled upon to testify, eould throw light—in fact, a flood of light—upon its whole complexion. What is the reason that Mr. MeKeon has made no effort (o get to the bottom of this mys tery, nor has ealled up all the witnesses who pos- sess information upon the matter? La fact, Justice Osborne himself, if the District Attorney and his assistants omit to do so, ought to take the respon- sibility upon Himself of bringing up these persons to testify on subpoena, that he may be enabled to make a correct and just decision upoa the subject of enquiry. ‘This business cannot be slurred over—it cannot be sunk in forgetfulness now. The pubhe mind has fixed its eagle eye upon the real personages, and the real facts of the mystery are rush- | ing out. The manufacturer of this torpedo, by sending it to the house of Mr. War- ner, intended to produce death and take life; and there can be no difficulty now in fixing upon the originators and perpetrators, and in iden- tifying their persons, tneir looks, their eyes, the eclor of their hair, their history ia past times, and to do them the justice which ought to be done to them. There hes been a most wretched stool- pigeon conspiracy, engendered for the purpose of concealing the truth ; but circumstances and events | have overthrown these attempts, and the public is | now beginning to understand the matter as well as | judges and justices. We ask again, why has not Mrs. Warner, and | her daughter, Mrs. Coleman, and young Warner, | been called upon to testify in this examination ? | We pause f+ra reply. Tur Heacru or tne Crry'—By reference to the report of the proceedings of the Common Council last evening, it will be seen what horrible practices have been tolerated by the city government for years, and how they have at last waked up toa sense of their duty, and what the public interests imperatively demand.

In ignorant minds there is sometimes an aversion to give information, under the snpposi- tion that it may be used to the disadvantage of the informer. A more crude and ridiculous supposition cannot be entertained. On the contrary, there are meny good reasons why such information should | be given, independently of the requirements of the | lew, which demand faithfal answers to the govern- ment catechism; and people should be as religi- ously inclined to give the answers, as they would be if they were answering the Westminster cate- chism. We have a duty to perform, and a duty which should not be neglected. The statistics of a country are intimately connected with its legisla- tion, and with the general happiness of its citizens; for upon them are predicated many important laws and regulations. The Russians, though a semi- barbarous people, have the most perfect statistics of any nation; and it is upon these that the govern- ment are enabled to arrange the finances of the nation in the most effective manner. As a great and rapidly progressing people, we should not be behind Russia ina knowledge of our power and resources. With there views, we strenvously urge every citizen to be prompt and active in doing all in hie power to perfect the great work undertaken by the government. We shall not have another ehanee for ten years. The Italian Opera Company.

The Police Court, yesterday, at the appointed hour for the further investigation of t'ae charge against One- Byed Thompson, of manufact'sring the “torpode box,” which exploded in the houte of Thomas Warner, on the fourth day of May, 1849, was not so fully attended sa on the previous ocensions; possibly in consequence of the uneertainty of the case coming off, as it appeared to be very difeult for the counsel on either side to be punctual at Che hour appointed. Counsel for the defence then ealled the following witnesses :— Joseph. being sworn, says:—I am constable purth ward; a conversation took place between myselfsnd Thompson. in the presence of Mr. Bird; it was inTront of my office, No. 102 Centre street; it was some time last sumsner; I said to Thompson, “they have arrested you on the torpedo concei yes.” said he, “they have. and they had to let me go; he then made some other remarks, whieh I don't recollect. id Thompson tell you that he made or carried the do? that time, I think I should certainly have heard him; I did not hear him say that he had carried a torpedo in » carpet bag im the Pifth ward, Cross-examination—I had no conversation with Bird sinee the Drury trial; we are not on speaking terms; Thompson has never admitted to me that he had ever made & torpedo.

Tho magistrate overruled the objection, Benjamin Greig reeslled for the defence.—Q.—Upon your direct examination you stated that Thompson said he was the prejector’ and inventor of that box which had been kent to Mr. Warner's house; what, if anything. have you to say, in relation to that ques- tion. A.—My recollection has been refreshed by Mr. Thompson; the conversation that I had at Canandaigua, that I bave sworn about be- fore, there was more of than I recollected on the first examination, which was delivered by Mr. Thomp- fon at that bar-room conversation; it began by talking ebout making other torpedo boxes, which, when re- peated by Mr. Thompson, I distinctly recollect; he said that he had invented, projected, or made a torpe- do box, to keep thieves, robberr, or rowdies, or enemies cut of his house; this conversation I intend to be a be- ginning of the eonvereation; Thompson further said that he had let a torpedo off inthe yard of his house, to please hiv children; I never supposed that Thompson was (he maker of the torpedo box; I mean by the con- versation expressed by Thompson, that he was as much the inventor of the idea of the torpedo box, as Fulton wasthe inventer of the steam engine used at the present day. Cross-examination by Mr. Phillips—On the trial of he creator of the Drury. I said that Thompson was “torpedo box.’ by which I mean the creator of the ori- ginalides. @.—Did you eay to the jury on the trial of Drury, or attempt to convey an impression on the jury that Thompson was the maker of the “torpedo box” sent to Warner's house? A.—I did not attempt to explain or convey any impression to the jury. Q— Did you not swear on the irlal of Drury, that he (Thompson) said he made the torpedo box sent to Mr. Warner's house? A.—At that time,as my memory server me, Was that the import of the words were that ‘Thompton was the proprietor and ereator of that “tor- pedo box.” After my tiret examination in this case, on the converration being rehearsed by sense. it oe- curred to me to make further explanation; I have had a number of conversations with Thompson, since this examination; I have walked with Thompson from this court: I have been to Eldridge street jail to see Thom son, because I heard that he wanted me again as @ wit- ners; T think I have taken refreshments Ve with Thompson, Q.—Ilave you drank thing morning”: Witnere--1 bes ong to the court if the question is proper, (Laughter.) ‘agistrate—The question will not injure you; it may | be anewered. ‘A.—I haye drank fome ale this morning, and some other beverage, to reliove my head, taken from a bottle at the “Gem” ‘in the Bowery; it looked more like a medicel bottl ) s worn, lips—What do you intend to show by this penid he offered to rd Mr. W Mr. P prove by this witness rury, the elder, exonerate Themp- ron from the manufacture of the “torpedo box,” but the maker himself. admission of any ruch tes- the as inadmis- that he (Drury) w: Phillips the - ips opposed timony, end it was ruled by snble, or at least, euid the j ll the testimony of Mr. Jenkins has now become itter of record. and is accessible by both parties, Hore H.
