Both houses of Cengress met at the usual hour yesterday, for the purpose of making arrange- aments for the funeral of the lamented Gen. Taylor, and adjourned immediately after performing that Dusiness. It will be seen that Mr. King, of Ala- bama, has been appointed President pro tem. of the Senate. The arrangements agreed upon by both houses for the funeral, will be found under our telegraphic head. We leara that Mr. Fillmere has seleeted the National 'ntelligencer as the medium of commu- nication with the public, instead of the Republic, the organ of the cabinet; and that the present impression in Washington is, that there is a good chance of the passage of the Compromise bill. “These things weuld seem to indicate that Mr. Fillmore does not consider himself boun@ to fol- low the administration platform, and that he is disposed to act for himself, and without regard to any antecedents of the administration of Gen. Taylor, or rather that of his cabinet. Our correspondents at Washington send us several despatches connected with the formation of the new cabinet. We hope soon to be able to relieve our readers of their suspense m relation to this mutter, by publishing authentically the mames of the successors of the present incumbents. The European News by the Tlegraph. The Hibernia, arrived at Halifax, has supplied one week’s later news from Europe, by the way of the telegraph. Cotton has advanced again, the money market is easy, the weather favorable for the crops in England, and American securities have not receded, though the market for them is represented as inactive. ‘The Collins’ steamer Atlantie has made jthe shortest passage, between this port and Liverpool, ever known either on the outward or homeward bound voyage. The ran was made in ten days and sixteen hours, and against a head wind, the vessel made three hundred and nineteen miles in twenty- four hours. This news will give great delight to our antrymen, who have embarked a great dea\ of national pride in this line of steamers. » The news of a politics! character is extensive, though the details are few. The Queen has been assaulted and beaten by a man named Plato, who seems a¢' to have reasoned well on the result of such condect. larly enough, has supported the ministry, on the Greek question, against the House of Lords, by a majority of forty-six votes. On the arrival of the last news we were prepared for this event, as there were rumors that the Greek question had been settled with France.

This commotion has been indi- cated already through the organs of the old cabi- net, in various ways, particularly in New York, | | Albany, Philadelphia, and Washington. Aecord- ing to the most reliable accounts from Washington, the general impression in that city is, that the ac- cession of Mr. Fillmore will work an entirely new change in the personnel of the cabinet; and that the policy of the new government, as well as of the | President, will be more in harmony with that of | the great whig statesmen and leaders in Congress, Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and their associates, than | was the exclusive policy of the late President and his cabinet. Such a course of policy cannot fail to exercise a favorable influence on the slavery question, and the passage of the compromise bill before Congress. The organs of the old, retten cabinet in Albany and New Yerk, seem to think that Mr. Fillmore will feel himself constrained to carry out the pro- Presidency of Millard Fillmore, | Commercial and Political Affairs in Ni- caragua, The Atlantic and Pacifie Steam Navigation Com- pevy have sent out their first vessel for the port of Sen Juan de Niearegua,which the British intriguers and. encreachers delight to call Greytown.

By the first of August, another steamer will be sent out. To-morrow, the schooner Unterprise will sei) with a company of engineers, at the head of whom is Mr. Childs, formerly Chief Engineer of this State. They will proceed at oace to mark out the route of the proposed canal—that desirable work, which is destined to have a tremendous eflect upon the commerce of the world. Little, comparatively, is known by our government, by the public, or by individuals, of the country én which this canal is to be located. It has been sadly neglected. The British have been active in it for twelve or fourteen years past, but their in- trigues and encroachments will soon be at an end. The sympathies of the people of Honduras, San Tue Lawrence Divorce Case.—A long article " in defence of Mr. Bigelow Lawrence, accompa- nied by some remarkably curious and entertaining documents, appeers in our columns. It will be read with avidity. People, generally, will be anxious to know the whole merits and demerits of a cace that has recently created the greatest sensa- tion throughout Kentucky, and « vast deal of cu- riotity, conversation, and censoriousness in every other part of the country. The defence of Mr. Lawrence has been ably prepared by his counsel, and though it has not hitherto been published, yet its circulation to a considerable extent, through private channels, has been deemed necessary, to meet the statements made in the court ut Louis- ville, and by the press in that quarter. The defence shows Mr. Lawrence's course of conduct in such a light, that we can only con- sider it a fair one, under all the circumstances in which he was placed. The evidence furnished by the lettersof Mr. and of Mrs. Ward, and of Mrs. Sallie Lawrence, now Miss Ward, eannot fail to have its effect upon every reasonable mind. The public will contrast the various documents, one with another, and come to conclusions that will not be unfavorable to Mr. Lawrence, however warmly some may be disposed to justify, or, at Salvador, and Nicaragua—the Central American | least, to palliate that remarkable Western freedom Union—are with the United States, and they are | of manners, which seems to have brought about opposed to any colonies of monarchical govern- | the domestic trouble and its sequel. Taken alto- gramme marked out by the cabiaet, in regard to the slavery question, and known as the administration plan. Thurlow Weed says, if, like Gen. Taylor, Mr. Fillmore will resist the extension of slavery, and uphold the banner of freedom, if he adopts General Taylor’s mereures, and vindicates his policy, he will support him. The The Courier and Enquirer, of New York, squints in the same direc- tion, and seems to think that Mr. Fillmore is bound to throw aside his own opinions and his own views, and follow out those of the late President and hig eabinet. This is unreasonable, and would make Mr. Fillmore a mere instrument or agent in the hands of others, to carry out a policy which he might not choose to adopt. It is very well known that the administration plan has not the confidence of the leading whig members of Congress, and that to persist in it, will be to keep alive the agitation which is disturbing the country, and prevent a set- tlement of the slevery question for perhaps an inde- finite time. The executive department of a go- vernment like ours, must harmonize, more or less, with the legislative; and in suggesting that Mr. Fillmore should follow the plan and policy of Gen. Taylor, the organs of the cabinet show that they do not understand the peculiar workings of ourinsti- tutions. We have seen the result of Capt. Tyler’s not acting harmoniously with the intellect of the whig leaders in the Congress of his day, and the eabinet that is going out, committed precisely the same mistake that Capt. Tyler did, and would, ina ments, particularly as Great Britain has ridicu- gether, the exposure is singular enough.

Weare bound to an amicable intercourse with the confederated States of Nica- ragua, Honduras, and San Salvador, and we shall maintain our natural position. The treaty nego- tiated between Sir Henry L. Bulwer and Mr. Clay- ton has been officially proclaimed. In reference to the proposed canal, it may, perhaps, be all well enough. So far as other matters are concerned— the Moequito business, for instance—we are appre- hensive thatitleaves thing: orse state thanthey were before the treaty. Does the document not draw the United States into an implied admission of the validity of Anglo-Mosquitian pretensions ? It has been called, very erroneously, the Nicara- guan treaty. This it is not, any more than it isa Mexican or New Granadan treaty. Properly short time, but for the death of Gen. Taylor, have produced a similar result. From the foundation of the government to the present time, the workings and action, of our go- vernment have, ina great degree, resembled the great operations of nature,and the economy by which | life and existence are carried on throughout the world. No government at Washington, no exe- cutive power in the White House, can suc- cessfully conduct and manage the affairs of this mighty country, without the existence, toa certain extent, of harmony in feeling and in action, between the executive in the White House and the intellect in Congress. The great error which Cap- tain Tyler committed, was, that instead of uniting his official influence with the great intellectual power of Congress, wielded by such men as Llenry Clay ,fand other leaders of the whig party of that day, he separated that influence, kept aloof from Congress, and thus produced the disturbance in the action of the government which characterized his administration. If he had pursued an opposite policy, such as we have indicated, the result would have been far different, and he would have retired, bearing with him the gratitude and reapect of the whole country, instead of going out of office inthe way he did. With the manifest error committed by Captain Tyler, and the results to which it led, still fresh in the recollection of the country, we have seen the cabinet, within the last year, com- mit the same mistake, with their eyes open, and almost shipwreck the administration of General Taylor, for the want of that harmony between the executive aad legislature, which must, in some degree, exist, in order to carry on the government successfully. The policy pursued by the cabinet of the late President, not yet removed, has been | gradually producing the same result and the same state of things which followed from Captaia Tyler's mistake, vi in entire estrangement between the was carried by the same majority as sustained the English ministry on the Greek question—forty-six votes. Several arrests for political offences have | taken place, and the President's power seems, os- | tensibly, to be consolidating. General Changarnier | is now at his elbow. The Spanish government, it is said, are much | incensed against our government, with regard to | the Cuban afluir. Such news was not unexpected, It will remain to be seen of what nature the des- patches to this government may be, when the mis- rives of Narvaez have been opened at Washington. ‘The Spanish government are facile with the pen. We have intelligence of two serious accidents by this arrival—the one in Italy, the other in India. By the former, four or five hundred lives were los; by the felling of a building employed for barracks ; | by the latter, about a thousand lives were lost by an explosion. : The character of the news from Rome, Austria, the Gerrfn States, and Turkey, is not without in- terest. On the arrival of the mails we shall be able to give more satisfactory and fuller intelligence, executive and the legislative branches of the | government. The organs of the cabinet, and their friends here and elsewhere, are already beginning to indicate cir wishes in this respect, and to hurry Mr. Fill- more into the mistake which Captain Tyler, as well as the present cabinet, committed, and which, in the latter instance, was beginning to produce the consequences which marked the Tyler adminis- tration, But we have the fullest confidence tha; Mr. Fillmore has more firmness, energy and nerve | than to follow any such advice, or to commit such a | mistake as thatto which we have referred. We have no doubt that he will find it the best and safest policy, for the success of his administration, and the welfare ef the country in the present crisis, to consult and harmonize with the leading members of | the whig party in Congress, with the great intellec- tual power of the whig party. If he do so, there is little doubt that the slavery question will be set- tled before long; that the country will be tranquil- lized ; that disunionists, factionists of all kinds, will be silenced ; and that his administration of the government will be as popular as it will be success- with respect to these Furr Scnoot Convention at Syracrse.—The free school system is an admirable one, under our liberal ivstitutions.

It is quite evident that it is the object of the socialist school of politicians to convert the populer question of education into the dark and benighted one of politics.

Derartvre or Distixecisnep Sanpwicn Isanp- | Ers.—Among the passengers in the steamship Geor- gie, for Chagres, to-morrow, are the Hon. G.P. Jadd, the present prime minister of the government of the Sandwich Islands, or Polynesia, and two princes, Kameahmea and Liholili, sixteen and y years of age, nephews of the King Kameah- mea, and the youngest, (Liholihi,) heir apparent. Dr. Judd left this country twenty-two years since, connected with the American missions to the | Sandwich Islands, where he has since resided, and | otegrity, jxdgment, and capacity, he has gradunly advanced to a position next to the highest in the government, and has greatly pro- moted the American interests in that region. Nearly a rsinee, he left Honolulu, as minis ter plenipote: y te the French, English and American governments, charged, to the former, adjustment of the difficulties between the vernments, and to demand redress for the wowerrantable conduct of the French Admiral, and the attack of the French squadron upon the seat of government, last year. In the interim, Dr. Judd and the two princes have visited France and England, where they were received with attention, and treated with respect by the governments and | people. About a month eince, they artived inthis | country, in one of Mr. Collins’s magoificent steam- | ships ; were received in an appropriate manmet by the Mayer and Corporation of this city : have made the tour of the State to Ningara, aad thence to Detroit; have, elace their retarn, been waited upon | and tendered the courtesies of Brooklyn, by the Mayor aad Corporation of thet city. On their arrival at this port, the proprietors of the with the twe United ites Mai!

We doubt ifit will bear the praises which have been lavished upon it by the recent cabinet’s organs. We have reason to believe that it is very satisfactory to Palmerston; and if we could see some of his recent despatches to Sir Henry L. Bulwer, we think we should read his delight at the possibility of maintaining on the Nicaraguan Atlantic coast “ rights which it’ never possessed ”’—and, in the interior, territory which Spain never held, though Spanish forts are at every available point, overgrown with the vegetation of undisturbed years. If Lord Palmerston could see trees growing up through piles of cannon balls, he might be inclined to revise his opinions, as to the probability that Spain did occupy the territory over which the naked King of Mosquito would claim to hold jurisdiction. This point, however, will be settled at no very distant day. Our business is with the real Nicaraguan treaty. This is now before the Senate of the United States. It isan important negotiation, and as Mr. Squier, our able Charge d’Affaires, is at Washing- ton, we hope he will make the subject of it clear to our legislators. It is of vast importance, both for the present and the future. It should not be allowed to stick in the Senate, for the purpose of suiting ite conditions to the temper of Lord Palmer- ston or his egents, or that it may square with the British constrvetion of the Bulwer and Clayton convention. We are perfectly well informed that the clause inthe Nicaraguan treaty which troubles Mr. Bulwer, is that which recognises the right of Nicaragua to the sovereigaty over the port of San Juan del Norte, concerning which much has been said, and which the British will not yield without a considerable share of chagrin and reluctance. Now, though like the duty on iron, a modification of this clause would be very “ agreeable” to the British cabinet, and to Lord Palmerston in particular, yet we cannot consent to it, without proving, in the worst sense, treacherous to the,Nicaraguan govern- | ment and people. Sorry as we should be to give any mortification to the English, our amiable friends and enterprising competitor, a practical surrender of the only vital point at iseue, on our part, would result only in shame and infamy. This is plain enough to the commonest apprehension, | and needs no explanation or illustration, by those | who know the history of the active agents of Great Britain in the neighborhood of the confederated States. Besides, it has been, it can be, and it will be demonstrated, beyond the shadow of a doubt, and beyoud the circumscription of even a preten- sion, that Nicaragua’s right of sovereignty over San Juan, and the whole of the so-called Mosquito shore, is “ clear and indisputable,” and that the claims of the British are the most gratuitous fabrications in every particular. We do not have to run over the tecords of many years, to make this perfectly ap- parent. We shall be prepared, therefore, for the Senate of the United States to maintain the honor of the | country, to study closely the merits of the case, to preserve the rights of Nicaragua ia their fulness end integrity, and to yield no jot to the coaxing | policy f the British minister. They will certaialy never submit to modify so important a clause as | that which annoys Sir H. L. Bulwer, to be for ever quoted by Great Britain as a recognition of | gan Mosquito, or, rether, of the justice of those preten- sions which they have dared to set up. Monatrry, Parniotism, axp Goon Fereuine | or Pouenerans.—The Washington Union, in an- nouncing the death of President Taylor, perti- nently remarks, that if it has ever ente: ed an | unworthy feeling towards the hero of the Mexican war, it would sink the memory of it| Why not manfolly have said this while President Taylor | was living? What a pitiful spectacle a tician becomes, when the death of a political enemy forces him to acknowledge that he has done him injustice, and that a line of confession must wipe out a wile catalogue of sins of omissisn and com- mission. This is a sickening commentary upon the morality, patriotism, and good feeling of party | politicians. Thurlow Weed is in tears, too; but he mourns for the political death of himself and of | the Seward clique.

After making so much fuse, and sending cireulars to the ditlerent | newepapers for their terms, and consuming night after night in discussing the question, aad putting it off from time to time, for several months, they have arrived at the same “most lame and impo- tent conclusion” as the committee of the Board of Assistants.

It is highly amusing. | of Minetreds ai ferent in both States. In Boston, all is sober, dis- creet, staid, formal, cold and intellectual. In Louis- ville, all is impulsive, wild, free, unreserved, warm and lively. Boston delights in lectures and ora- tions. Louisville runs into the frolics of balls and masquerades. One city is the home ef conven- tionalities—the other is the domain of impulses and action. Contrasted, they are opposite in ideas of elegance, refinement, gay life, liberty and hap- piness. Such, at least, seems to be the case, if we may judge by the history of that alliance, which was designed to blend the characteristics of two families, at the head of these two cities. Tue Inpusrriat Conoress.—We have given al- Teady many reports connected with this convention, and continue to supply all the information that may be neceseary upon the subject. Notwithstanding the trouble, and time, to say nothing of the valu- able space employed for this purpose—notwithstand- ing all the debates, commotions, doubts, and diffi- culties, which are, from time to time, agitating those who have been disposed to give a favorable considerat on of the project, there appears to be no promise of any good effect. In fact, so far as we can anelyze the very curious elemental strife going on, one purpose alone seems manifestly controlling the large body of the trades. The whole desiga at the bottom of the movement seems to be, to gain political power for a direct appliance at the fall elections. The socialists, as they call themselves, or the Fourierites, men of single ideas and mani- fold isms, seem very anxious to raise a power that will lift some of these mutual-admration members of society into the seats of the city corporation. It has been said that they intend to make a great scramble for success, under the old white coat for a banner, and that Horace Greeley will be put for- ward for the next Mayor. We are not surprised atit. They will run him, probably, with all pos- sible energy, with one leg of his pantaloons outside of his boot and the other in, going it particu- Jarly strong against the tea room in the City Hall.

Owing to the deep in- terest manifested to ascertain the passages of the Aeia and Atlantic, we give a table of the time of each of those steamers. The Asia left Boston three days before the Atlantic started from New York. According to letters from passengers on board, the Asia’s passage was nine days and twen- ty hours, and according to the official statement of the Cunard Company, the difference in distance between Boston and New York is twenty-one hours in favor of the former port. In giving our table, therefore, we add that number of hours to her time. Thus:— ‘THE PASSAGES OF — a ATLANTIC. wh BER abdys Thoms. 4aM10 8 6 ‘Time in faver of the Atlanti¢,........

The passengers by the Atlantic have published a card, in which they bestow the highest praise to the sea and other qualities of that noble steamer, and to Capt. West and his assistants, for their uni, form vigilance and kindness. The mimstry have been sustained by the Com- mons in the Greek affair, by a majority of 46. The question of the increase of Louis Napoleon’s salary, has received the sanction of the French Assembly. The weather continues extremely favorable throughout England, and advices from the manu- facturing districts continue satisfactory. At Not- tingham, the lace trade has improved. At Lei- cester, great confidence is expressed as to future prospects, and from Leids, Bradford, Halifax and +, Rochdale, all the letters speak of full employment and steady merkets, At Manchester, however, there has, as yet, been no improvement. The news from Cuba still absorbs public atten- tion. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has sent a note to the American Plenipotentiary, in which, among other observations, he says:— The conduct of the United States puts one in mind of the habits of the inhabitants of Barbary. It is said that General Narvaez has had a werm discussion with the minister of the United States, in which he expressed the astonishment and regret of the Spanish government, that the go- vernment of the United States had not prevented the expedition of Lopez from being prepared in the States, but had allowed it to depart with the object of attacking Cuba; and itis also reported the Span- ish minister had addressed a warm remonstrance to Washington, embodying the views of the Span- ish government, and that this note is not written in avery amicable spirit. England, ASSAULT UPON QUEEN VICTORIA——PARLIAMENTARY TROCEEDINGS—THE MINISTRY SUSTAINED IN THE TOUSE OF COMMONS. The chief feature of the news of the week is the debate in the House of Commons, relative to the policy of the ministry on the Greek question, and the committing of the cowardly assault on the Queen, by a mi amed Plato, formerly an officer in the Dragoons. The offence was committed against Her Majesty ja the following manner:—Shortly after six o'clock, on Thureday evening, Her Majesty was leaving Cambridge House, in company with Prince Albert, when, from amongst the erowd assembled to wit- nees her departure, a man walked out with a walk- ing cane in his hand, and made an asswilt on the person of Her Majesty. He strack her on the head and face repeatedly, but fortunately his blows had no effect beyond a demolition of her bonnet. The Queen appeared at the Italian Opera, the same evening, where she was greeted with the most loyal and enthusiastic reception. ‘The miecreant has been taken into custody, and has undergone an examination, at which he ap- peared perfectly sane. It is said that he has been living in good cireumstances. On Monday night,M. Roebuck brought forward his condemnatory motion, relative to the policy of the government on the Greek question ; and an exciting end very able debate was kept up every successive night, with varied success to both parties, till Friday, when a division was ordered, and resulted in a majority of 46 for the Ministers in a House of 581. This vote is said not to bea fair index of the state of public feeling in England, asthe deepest intrigues are on foot to compel the present Ministry to resign. Lord Palmerston’s speech, in vindication of his conduct, is said to have been especially brilliant— according to Mr. Gladstone, from the dark of one day to the dawn of another day—he made a gigantic, intellectual, and physical effort. resisted by the Committee of Commission.
