ENew York, Monday, December 3, 1850, Arrival ef the Africa—The News from Europe, The arrival of the royal mail steamer Africa hes brought us our full files of European journals, and our correspondence, to the seventh of the pre- gent month, on which day the steamer left Liver- pool. We gave avery full summary of her news in yesterday’s Herald. To-day we publieh a part of eur correspondence, end several interesting articles from our forcign files. Cotton has advanced egai eial and other markets exhibit evidence ef a general belief that the difficulties between Prussia and Austria will not lead to any actual hostilities Still, we do not perceive any very strong grounds for anticipating a very lovg coutinuance of quiet. It is possible that there may arise, out of the complication of interests, at a very early day, a greater spirit of antagonism than has yet been exhibited. Indeed, the whole question for Prussia seems to look but very little better since the con- vention at Olmutz, particularly as we fiad that A ja has out menwuvred Prussia in several im- portant po In the most succinct form in which the » and the finan- pozition that has given hopes of peace can be presented, Mantenflel appears, at first, to have gained a point in the cabinet, for he is represented to have prepared the way for peace, and for the terms arranged at Olmutz. Subsequently, how- ever, to this position, held by him on the first of the month, we find him ina weaker attitude. Ber- lin dates of the fourth instant, indicate a warm op- position, and the Parliament having been adjourned will the third day ef next year, by that time there may be a still further reaction. The question, therefore, gies lost much of its interest, notwith. Standing the marching of the Prussian troops upon Cassel, the capital of the Electorate of Hesse. In France there appears to bea lull in rumors. A little fact has created quite a deal of political Hossip—that ie, the visit of Guizot, the ex-mi er of the lately deceased king, to Louis Napolesn. According to our correspondent, the President, during the interview, repeated some of his early Temarks on the necessity of having a head to France ; and Guizot, it isy further added, rephed that there could be a new constitution before May, 36052, if the President would declare his desire to remedy some of the inconveniences to which the government is subjected through the present one. The reported conversation, however, is merely on the authority of a correspondent. It appears to be too formal an interview, under all the circum- mances. Still, we have given it in our columas, as we found it in the London Times. “The Catholic question in England still agitates the public mind. We present some accouats of the state of public opinion on that subject; and the American reader will see that Bishop Hughes has yead our journal to some purpose, and has lectur- ed in Evglend in a truly catholic spirit, on the way im which we manage religious affairs in this coun- wy. We said originally just what the Bishop has ®0 kindly remembered and repeated, and we hope that no money question in England will hinder the Pope's people from playing tkeir parts to his entire satisfaction, as manager of man’s spiritual affairs. The British press, as will be seen by an extract from the London Times, are in a warm state of admiration with regard to our marine supremacy oa the seas. 1t is now conceded that this country has given Great Britain a severe task in marine compe- | tition; and the fact that the American vessel, the | Oriental, has made the shortest voyage on record, from Canton to London, is the theme taken to ftimulate British cepital and enterprise. The Ori- ental made a passage in ninety-eight days, not merely, we presume, to the admiration of English ship builder® and commercial men, but to the abundant satisfaction of her owners’ pockets. This ie the first vessel, from the Eaet Indies, that has eniered an English port since the Navigation laws went into force. The article on this subject Daniel Webster, Secretary of State. It isexpected that each of these gentlemen will deliver a speech. ‘We have been struck with the fulfilment of a pre- diction which Mr. Webster made thirty years ago, in an oration delivered at Plymouth, on a similar occasion. We discovered this oration recently among our pspers, and were so charmed by perusing it, that we are tempted to give extracts from it to our readers to-day. These extracts are given, not as being the most eloquent in the discourse, but because they both speak of the time, then considered very remote, when the sons of the Pilgrims should dwell on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. That time has already come. The sons of the Pilgrims are now on the shores of the Pacific. The patriot, statesman, and orator, now lives to witness the truth of his prediction. Speaking of the progress and increase of population Westward, he said on the 22d December, 1820:— It may be safely asserted, that there a1 than « millio: eople, descendants of N ry, living tree and happy, in regions which, hardly sixty years ago, were tracts of unpenetrated forest. Nor do rivers, or mountains. or seas, reeist the Pp of industry and enterp: Ere long, the ‘ons of the Pilgrims will be on the shores of the Pacific. The hours ot this day are rapidly flying, and this oo- casion will soon be possed; neither we nor our children cam expect to behold its return. (It was the Uenten- nial celebration) They are in the distant regions of futurity; they exist only in the all creating power of God, who shall stand here, a hundred years hence, to trace, through us, their descent from the pilgrims, and to survey, as we have now surveyed, the progress of their country during the lapse of a century. We would anticipate their concurrence with us in our sentiments of deep regard for our common ancestors e would anticipate and partake the pleasure with ich they will then recount the steps of New Eng d's advancement. On the morning of that day, al- though it will not disturb us in our repose, the voice of acclamation and gratitude, commencing on the Rock of a shall be transmitted through millions of the sane of Pilgrims, till it lose itself in the marcurs of the Pacifi We would leave for the considura. seas tion of these who sball then oceapy our places, soms preot that old the blessings traurmitted from oar thers in just estimation; some proof of our attach. ment to the cause of good government, and of civil and religious liberty; seme proof of a sincere andardent desire to promote anything which may enl understandings and improve the hearts of men; and when, from the long distance of a hundred years, they shall leck back upou us, they shall know, at least, | that we possessed affections which, raaning back- ward, and wa cestors have done for our happiness, ran forward, also, to Our posterity, and meet them with cordial salu- tation, exe yet they have agrived on the shore of being. Advance then, yo futa®® generations! We would bail you, a you rise in your long Fuccession, to fill ces which we now Gl, and to ter stence, where we are{passing, aud soon shall have passed, our own human duratisu, We bid you wel- come to this pleasaut land of the Fathers. We bid you welec the healthful skies and the verdant fields of New England. We greet your accession to the great inhertiance which we have enjoyed. We welcome you to the blessings of good government and Teligious liberty. We welcome you to the treacures of ecience, and the delights of learning We welcome ou to the transcendent sweets of domestic life, to the appiness of kindred, and parents, and children. We Welcome you to the immeasurable blessings of rational existence, the immortal hope of Christianity, and the light of everlasting truth ! We do net know whether Mr. Webster then en- tertained the idea that we should become possessed of the immense territory on the Pacific, which we acquired ly the Mexican war, or whether he re- ferred only to Oregon. It is certain, however, that the sons of the Pilgrims have not only reached the shores of the Pacific, but have built naions there, which promise to rival in wealth, power, intelli. gence, and patriotism, any of the old States of thi: republic. Mr. Webster was certatuly a true pro- phet on the occasion, but we question if one out of ten of those who heard his oration, thought other. wise than that Mr. Webster was indulging in rhapsody. In the ordinary course ef natu! ir. Webster will not survive thirty years more; but if he should, we have no doubt he will see evidences ef as much progress of our republic towards na- tional greatness as he has seen within the last thirty. Curar Postage—No Fare Parers ror tuk Press. —The long contemplated reform of the postage system of the United States, we believe, is about to result'in some substantial shape. It is quite time that we should have some settled, permanent system—simple in itsell, and beneficial to the en- tire population. From present appearances,gthe re- duction on letters will be very considerable; and, as the subject has come before Gongress, it is te be hoped that some speedy action will settle the whole business to the satisfaction of the public. Our own investigations have satisfied us that many of the complaints attributed to the Post Of- fice Department have arisen from the excessive burthens, in the shape of printed documents, pass- ing free of charge through the mails. Before the law was passe transient newspapers, it wes found that the mass of newspapers sent through the mails, was a positive and great evil. Such was the weight of newsp pers, that the mail bags were entirely thrown o in meny cases, so that the letter bags might arrive in due time at their destination. This trouble was partially obviated by the present arrangement of demanding pre-payment on transient newspzpere sent by individuals. A great evil, however, re- mains. It is one injurious to all concerned. It clogs the department itself—it is in a great measure uselers—and is a tax upon the whole country, will be read with pride by every intelligent Ameri- ean, while it will be concurred in, for its justice, by every calightened Englishman. The news from Turkey is such as will satisfy the world that the youthful Saltan is really pos- scored of a determination to suppress attempts to overthrow the wise laws which have been estab- lished for the government of his empire. In the efficient manner by which the Sultan has redeemed hie pledges to the Christian population, he has shown his ability as the sovereign of a great people. The svecess of his movement is a full answer to the libels on bis government, which have been so frequently uttered, for the purpose of bringing his power into contempt A Goon Move ix tae Riont Dingction.—Oa Wednesday, the Committee on Patents presented to the Senate a new Patent bill, which, if it Parees, will destroy more corruption and villany thana little. It will be enough for all good mea to know, that it is virulently opposed by Wm. H. Seward, the abolitionist. It is in nine sections, and seven of them are to correct abuses in and about the Patent Office The objects of the bill are—first, to lessen the discretionary power now enjoyed by the Commis- sioner of Patents, and more clearly define the rights and privileges of inventors; second. To make a provision by scire facias, by which a party prosecuted for infringement may by one suit deter- mine the validity of a patent, giviag the cour- power to repeal it, if found fraudulent ; and, third, limiting a re-issue of patents, defining what has hitherto been loose conception of the law. | The advantages of this bill would be very great. It would level @ bold and final stroke at rascality and corrvption im the Pateat Office, or by collusian of patent agents It ie well known that the office of Commissioner of Patents is now a fearful en- gine of power—an autocracy--and without some modification of the law, it would be better to sweep | the whole patent laws from the statute book. The new bill would give real protection to honest in- | ventore, and cut off a vast amouat of jugglery and | corruption. The bill would also greatly lessen the | amount of litigation for patente, (which has now grown to a fearful extent,) and render all genuine pateng property far more valuable. No opposition can well be raised against the bil!, except by parties having fraudulent patents. that cannot be supported by any shadow of reason. This is the privilege, granted to newspapers, of exchanging, at the public ex- pense. It is ascertained for instance, that thirty-five thousand free mewepapers are delivered, in this metropolis alone, to the proprietors of news- papers every we Here is a severe burthen, not only on the department, but upon the public, who must suffer delays, that this dead weight on the mails may be daly carried according to law. How much better would it be, therefore, to abolish this privilege, and to curteil the useless expenditure of the public money, for the very questionable benefit of a few newspaper establishments. We think that, if proprietors of newspapers were taxed like other persons, a great evil would be ended—for the majority of newspapers are of little value, beyoud the locality of their publication; and, under t propored reduction of portage, they could be obtained, at a very small tax, whenever cir :un- stances may demand that they should be sent for the information of cotemporary newspapers. We think that no newspaper proprietor can object to eo rational a view of this question as we have preeented. If there is any objection, it ought to be silenced by the probable improvement in the economy of publishing, which, in this country, is wasteful and extravagant. An exchange list, in- cluding two or three hundred newspapers, is a rerions tax on any establichment, and the sooner it is abridged the better will be the reeult for the preprietor. At any rate, we sincerely hope that hewepaper proprietors may not be exempted from the same tex which is applied to other members of the community. Our interests to have the mails efiective towards eupplying subscribers rapidly, is not the least considersion for the desire we have to Jetsen the mail of the enormous weight placed upon it by folly From Pow ro Carn ‘The schooner Eleanor. arrived ity-two days from Porte Cabello, reports the eniling. on the éay previous to her depar- tore, of the brig Ellen, for Baltimore, with the Ameri. can Conrul om board, be having been recalled by the enthoritie brought no further news. ng with gratitude for what our an- | he blesrings | |, demanding pre-paid postage on | rH é Be 4 f i # E. i eek i i # ey Fy f 5 : as to the propriety of purchasing the property re- ferred to. It would only give the Common Coun- cil an opportunity to swindle the community, as they are endeavoring to do in their contracts with the New York Gas Company and the Fulton Ferry Company. Neither do the Common Council know anything about the Russ pavement. On the whole, we think Mr. Russ is about the best man to have control over the matter. nia, Europe, &e., within the last twoor three days, has crowded out a great variety of imteresting local reading, which we will endeavor to publish to-morrow.

Av, Dec. 22—6P. M. ‘The arrival of the steamship Africa from Liverpool, with seven days’ later intelligence from all parts of Europe, particularly with favorable advices from the continent relative to the political diflculties existing between the principal powers, has removed all anxiety existing in the public mind, and re-established public confidence, It does not, however, appear by our accounts that all grounds for apprehension have been removed; but the prospect, at prevent, is in favor of s Preservation ef the peaceful relations existing be- tween Austria end Prussia. Great efforts have been made to involve the Ruropean powers in one general war, by some of the leading politicians in the different governments. If the movements which have been made fall to bring about hostilities, we may look for ® long period of peace, and « preservation of that prosperity whieh has, within the past year, been established among all classes in every part of the old world. The American mail steamship Baltic, from Liverpool, has been at sea nearly twelve days, and will be due tomorrow or next day, with four days later intelligence from all parts of Earope. By her we shall receive more decided accounts, per- haps sufficiently so to put the matter at rest, one way or the other. The news by the Africa is calculated to give an impetus to speculation in our markets, and these who have adopted the safe courseand kept from the epeculative movements of the day, can now MONEY MA 8 a ee NFORMATION WANTED-OF FRANCIS 8 . fre: Cy © Cavan, Ireland, parish of Kil man drs, niaad of Cerran When inet heard fro: ved ii ni LS eity, wes Bi sea No] ethane sce him in Foom 25 Irwin Hovel, ®o.7 Greenwien street.
