Mr. Seward has made a curious movement in the Senate. According to our telegraphic despatch of the proceedings of thut body, he introduced a re- solution, in ing the committee on commerces to report on the expediency of directing a survey of such pertien of the banks of the Mississippi, as are subject to oveillow for the purpese of aseertaining | an efi-ctunl mode of preventing damage by the in- wndaticns of that river. This, of course, refers to Now Oricans, and we have no doubt that the peo- ple of that city will estimate, in a proper manner, the kind consideretion which Mr. Seward enter- tains towards them. Of course, no selfish motives actusted Mr. Seward in introducing that resolu- tion. Of course, he hod no intention to “ soft-soap” the South. Of course, he tikes a great interest in New Orleans, rticular, grueral, a elavenolding State, as it is, in offering this new movement of his is vet intended to take off the cap of his “great” speech on the slave question, in which he ac- kuowledged a higher law than that of the consti- tuiion Which he swore to vphold—of course not.

The Europeen news, of & commercial character, | is highly favorable to the American markets gene- rally. The great feature of the political news is the bekef that Lord Palmerston and the ministry will be obliged to retire. Such a change, at thiy time, would give new energy to the protectioa party, and might bring about a series of “ steps backward,” in the course of the next two or three years. Our impression is, that Palmerston’s resignation, alone, may be adyised, es saving her Majesty the trouble—and it would not be elight— of forming a new ministry. The next arrival—and possibly the mails of the Pacitic—may throw some important light upon this subject, now seen darkly. Foreien Porviation or Larag Crrres.—Re- cent estimates in Boston, obtained under the opera- | tion of the census law, show that nearly one half of the population of Boston are foreigners. Of | these, fifty-two thousand are Irish. The deecend- ants of the Pilgrims, largely engaged in manufac- turing, jobbing, and railroad speculations, gener- ally reside out of town, building up other cities, such as Roxbury, Charlestown, Lawrence,'Lowell, Worcester and other places, thus getting rid of the metropolitan taxation, and some of them educa- ting their boys at the Latin school, at the expense of the city and its foreign population. A large proportion of the inhabitants of New York, Phila- delphia and Baltimore are foreign born, or of for- eign parentage. Yet, notwithstanding this, it is remarkable with what ready tact and prompt plianey our institutions mould these subjects of king-governed countries into good republican citi- zens. Our American institutions seem, at once, to aflect all their tendencies, judgment and charae- ter. Many of them, on arriving in this country, become more thoroughly and practically Ameri- can than the native born inhabitants themselves, Such results epring from the free, liberal and enlightened press—from the omnipresent and time- anticipating telegraph—and from our admirable and and efficient laws and federal constitution, upon which ere based those harmonious State compacts, 80 little understood by the British prses, but which the novitiate freeman feels and thrives under, the moment his foot touches the shore of the United States of America. Cnovena tris Ysan.—There is much inquiry emong the nervous part of the population whether we shail have any cholera, or none at all, in the city, this searon. According to all accounts, and in the opinion of eminent medical men, we may an- ticipate a very healthy summer. The atmosphere has been charged abundantly with electricity, and we have hud many refreshing and cleansing show- ers, Which we did not have last year—and to the deficiency of thunder showers, last year, was at- tributed the virwlence and destructiveness of the disease. Yet, though the Atlantic country, gene- rally, has been visited with these health-bearing showers, accounts fron beyond the Mississippi state that electrical phenomena have been unno- ticedthere. Cholera, and other pestilential epide- niice, after their first appearance, appear only to break out in spots, bere and there, and with amiti- gation cf their original effects. The timid, daring appiehend any uncommon danger. Socratism iN THE Uncrep Srares.—We have a band of French eocialists, called Icarians, making an experiment at Nauvoo, aad trying to wear the boots and plough the lands of the Mormons. There has been a little community of Moravian socialists in Pennsylvania for several years past, who have presented tome of the most extraordinary phases of morality and voluptuowsness that ever Was imagined in apy of Sue's novels. A short time ago a com- munity of Fourzierite socialists attempted to estab- lish themselves somewhere in New England; but they broke up in confusion and disorder, in conse- quence of an attempt to introduce, in the intercourse of the sexes, the grand philosophical maxims and doctrines of Fourier bimself. There is now, tomewhere in New Jersey, a band of Feurierite fsociglists, endeavoring to establish a community in | that quiet State, with their he aurters in Phila- dely ad their eatennities all along the shores me curious things have taken recently, whieh will rather community whes ey out officially.

TO THE Bal TELEGRAPH IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND. Defeat of the British Ministry, and their Probable Resignation, THE MARKETS, &e., &e., &e. The United States Mail steamship Pacific, Cap- tain Ezra Nye, passed Halifax at$ o’eleck yes- terday morning, en route from Liverpool to New York. She left Liverpool at 4 P. M., on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 19th inst., thus making the passage across the Atlantic in mine days and eleven hours. She encountered heavy westerly weather for the first three and a half days, accompanied by aheavy sea. The engines worked beautifully, and hed not been stopped a moment. She was boarded at sea by the news schoener of the Associated Press, at three o'clock yes terday morning. The political news from England is of consider- able importance. After repeated efforts of Lord Palmerston to arrange the Greek difliculty with France, and after several poetponements ef the debate in the British Parliament, the question was finally brought up, and the Ministry defeated. Their resignation, in consequence of this defeat, was hourly expected. The Liverpool cotton market was firm at the | last quotations.

The institutions of the two countries hardly bear comparison, The United States were forced into re- pub! jiem againet their own desire. If their politi- cal inrtitutions be remarkably good, they have to thank the injustice of British politicians ;'and if any parties on thir side dislike American politicul arrangements, they can remember their compulsory origin by the mearures of a British Parliament. The States rejoice in their great progress, but they should not fail to remember their great facilities. A majority of the inbubitante of the Btates have ercuped from their share of the burden imposed by the Britirh debt, for which they were po le responsible than those who sustain it, They we: establirhed in new countries of which we paid the inci- dental expenres, always attendant on infaney.

The States havo progressed ; but they would have deen inhubited by ¢lugeards if they had not mado ra- pid progress. On that particular point we scarcely leem it creditable to the United States, that some of the North American colonies, with an inferior climate, and with bulf the year for exporting purposes cut away, have progressed in comfort, wealth. and culture, in all the elements of civilisation, more rapidly tham any State of the Union.
