We expect to be able, in our paper of Monday next, to give the intelligence fw full. By this arrival we are assured of one fact, viz that the difficulties between Austria and Prussia will net result in hostiliues. We never, at any time, seriously anticipated that war would grow out of them, notwithstanding the great prepara- tions that were made apparently for that purpose. The whole subject matter of difference, we now learn, was to have been submitted to a con- ference which was appointed to be holden at Dresden, on Christmas day, and at which Russia, Austria and Prussia were to be represeated. The mature and ultimate purposes of such a conference may well be imegined. If it took place, it was, no doubt, a conference between two doves and an eagie, at which, of course, the eagle would de- mand, and have, all it wanted. Of course the eagle dictated it; or, in other words, the confer- ence is the work of the Emperor of Russia, who ie playing off Austria against Prussia on the prin- ciple of drwide et umpere, so that not alone those two countries, but the whole of Germany, shal) be under his thumb. This course of policy is cha, racteristic of .useia, and has been silently pursued fora great many years past. It was thie policy which dictated Russian interference in the Hun- garian revolution; and, if persisted in with the same tenaeity as has been exhibited, will yet make the European continent eubject to Cossack rule. The smaller German powers, as weil as Eagland and Francr, it seems take thie view of the matter, and accordingly we find that the former are entering Upon a keague to counteract its decisions if possible, and the latter is preparing to protest against what it well knows will be the result. That country aus protested a great many times within a few years, end decline may be iaferred from the importance given to ite protests—which, if the traih were told, is none atall, The fact is, the whole world bas arrived at the conclusion that she has seen her best days, and that ehe is now harmiess for mischief. Owing to the brevity of our despatches, we can- mot very correctly estimate the character of the European intelligence by this arrival, When the moile are received, we shell have more to say on thio eubject. It és clear, however, in our mind, independent of this news, that before many years the United States may be called upon to interfere ja the lities of Europe, and save both Freace and England from Cossack ele. We verily be lieve that such is the teadency of things. Both b s of Congrees were in ee@mon yeater dey, but their proceedings ciel remera. From appearances, we shoewld judge they intended to work in earnest for the remandet of the session We perceive that House's new ix complete between this city aad D first despatch over it was received by us last night, falo and is published ia our columns today. The en- terprise of Mr. House is deserving of all credit, and will, we hope, be amply recompensed meontast Tate@earnic Axraxcement —By a new criengernent made by the Washington and | New rleans Telegraph Company, messages are bow (ranomitted direct from New York to New Orleans without delay or interruption, and with «@ certainty of their being delivered immediately to ee for whor spatches have they are designed.

The Legislature of this State will commence their regular annual sesgion, at Albany, in a few days, uader very auspicions circumstances. The session promises to be calm, quiet, and short; for we do not know of there being any very important or very exciting business on hand. There will, however, in all probability, be a little cross firing, managing and legerdemain exhibited in the elec- tion of a Speaker of the Assembly, but beyond that there will be quiet and calm. It is conceded, nearly on all sides, that the speakership should be conferred, this time, on a member from the city of New York, as a matter of courtesy. There is probably not one person in ten who cares a fig, as far as any benefit which the city might derive from such a selection is con- cerned, whether the Speaker be from New York ornot. Two gentlemen have been named in con- nection with the office, Mr. Varnum and Mr. Ray- mond. We have no great predilections in favor of either of these gentlemen, for we suppose that one would make as good an officer asthe other. The contest will be between them, in all probability. Thurlow Weed’s intluence will be used in favor of Mr. Raymond, and of course an effort will be made to counteract it, and render it valueless, in consequence of the general dislike to the course of the whole clique of which he is the head and front for many years past, especially on the subject of slavery. The re-action which has taken place in the public mind since the adjournment of Congress, on the subject of the Compromise bills, has no doubt penetrated the Legislature, and will exhibit itself in opposition to Sewardism in every form in which it may be developed. We have heard it intimated that an attempt will be made to force through our Legislature a series of resolutions, condemnatery of the Fugitive Slave bill, and the compromise measures generally. We sincerely hope that the report has no foundation. Our Legislature disgraced itself during the last | session, by undertaking to instruct members of Congress on subjects with which, as State legis lators, they had legitimately no more to do than they have with the domestic policy of the Ashan- tees. The anti-slavery resolutions of last session, we are perfectly well satisfied, exercised a very | potent influence in procrastinating the settlement of the excitement in Washington, and materially obstracted Mr. Clay, Gen. Cass, and the other statesmen who labored so hard to bring about peace and harmony in their patriotic uadertaking If such an attempt be made, it should be immedi- ately and premptly frowned down. To listen to it for a moment, would be to evince to the Southern States that we are insincere in saying that the State of New York is satistied with the settlement of the slavery question effected by the Committee of Thirteen ; and that notwithstanding our Union meetings and similar movements, we are determined to further harrass the slaveholding States, and force them, in self defence, into seces- sion. Such would be the eflect of debating, or pay- | ing any attention to the abolition fanatics of the North. God knows their venom has been ex- tracted, and they are now as harmless as could be desired. They are dead and buried, and any at. tempt to exhume and resuscitate them, would cer- | tainly be attended with danger. Wo tothe man or collection of men, whose temerity will induce them to re-open that unfortunate controversy in would not save them from the infamy with which they would be covered, or from the political ob- scurity into which they would be driven. We shall, as usual, keep our readers well in- formed of the proceedings of our Legislature du- ring the approaching session tance shall escape our notice; and our reports of the debates, and our correspondence from Albany, wil te as full as circumstances may warrant. DerreciaTion in THE Vatve or Goty.—The English journals have been engaged, recently, in very serious arguments, some of them curious enough, on the probability of the value of gold falling fifty per centum, in comparison with silver, and other measures of value. It is said, also, that the French government will propose an immediate alteration of the law, so as to make silver only a legal tender, instead of gold and silver, as at pre- sent. The Times newspaper, which usually speaks the voice of the London Exchange, says even, “it i8 difficult to see how gold should not be eventually depreciated.” This is very remarkable; because, so far as can be judged, the product of the California mines hag not added, during the last year, one per centum to the emount of the gold in the hands of mankind— | and the most favorable representations do not per- mit us to believe that the average earnings of the gold diggers are much beyond their expenditures Jor the most common means of subsistence. How it is possible, therefore, for the financiers of Europe to have any well-grounded apprehensions of any serious depreciation of the value of gold, is sur- | prising. According to the largest estimates, the product of the last year has not been greater than | that of gold and silver on this continent, at the commencement of the preseat century, while the censumption of gold is aonually increasing, and is probably not lees than forty mullioas of dollars, in | Europe end in this country. The searcity of silver seems to urge upon our government the necessity of counteracting dix turbances which may be generated by the speedy action of European governments. The silver coin of the United States is too rapidly drawn from the | country, on account of ite standard value; and, to keep it in the country, for the ordinary commercial transactions of life, i! seems necessary to resort to an alloyed issue, to arrest the results of causes now at work abroad.

We announced on Wednesday that Nicaragua had declared war against the adjoining State of Coe ta Rica. This naked statement would lead to mis- apprehension in the minds of those not acquainted with the circumstances of the case. The fact is simply this: that Nicaragua has re-asserted her rights over the territory lying between Lake Nica- ragua, the Gulf of Nicova, and the Pacific Ocean, and which bears the name of the Department of Nicoya, or Guanacaste, which has always per. tained to Nicaragua, whose rights would not be disputed except under British instigation. Relying upon the positive assurances of Lord Palmerston and Mr. Chatfield, that Great Britain would pro” tect her pretensions, Costa Rica has set up a claim to sovereignty, not only over this department, but to the entire south bank of the River San Juan and of Lake Nicaragua—territories which, by her own constitution, are recognized as belonging to Nica- regua. The State of Costa Rica, in her primary constitution, of January 21, 1825, chap. ii., art. 15 declares :— The territor: Nicoys), which divides it from Nicaragu: of the State extends from the river Salto (do ‘to the river Chi- Marine Affairs.

The government of Costa Kica iteelf, on the sane grounds, prohibited ics officers from selling the public lands of the department, lest injury should result to the pur- charters upon ite devolution to Nicaragua, The Feaeral Congress never proceeded to define the limits of the States, and in 1838 the Republic was. dis: solved. both Costa Rica and Nicaragua assenting to the Gissolution. Up to that time, Nicoya bad remained at- tached to Coste Rica, in virtue of the provisional de- cree of the Congress, it being well understood, how- ever, upon all sides, that the aggregation was tempo. Tar, ‘The whole quettion, so far as thie department is con- cerned, might be closed bere. By the dissolution of the republic, the rights, territorial as all others of the severe] States, reverted to them again in their sove- reign capacity. None of the provisional acts of the Federal Congress could be longer binding; the tempo- rary alienation of Nicoya ceased. and it reverted to its true proprietor, whose rights, at the most, had only Deen suspended. This is a seund and impreguable po- sition for Nicaragua. It does not seem probable that Costa Rica would have attempted to hold possession of this depart- ment, in palpable violation of the clear rights of Ni- caregua, had it not been for the intrigues of Chat- field and other English agents. The motives which originated British pretensions on the Mos- quite shore, were equally influential in inducing British interference in Costa Rica. England was not long in perceiving that, as quasi rotector of Costa Rica, she would be likely to get a tter hold on the important isthmus of rat than she could well secure as protector of his sable Majesty of Mosquito. It would be going rather far, even for England. to pretend that this fictitious sove- reign had a title to the continent, from to sea; and th} leas she could control not only one of but the whole line of the only practicable c: | the continent. The sturdy republicanism of Nica- Tagua was in the way ; to have seized openly upon her territories was a step too likely to attract the attention of the world, and provoke the inqu! of nations Costa Kica was. therefore, incited to @ pretension to enough ot her territory to cover the proposed line ot b> al, under the assurance of direct British pro- tection. And whenever Nicaragua evinoed a disposition to assert her rights, she was at once met by the British government, and threatened with ‘severe castigation” if she should dare to make the at- tempt. It even went so far as to say that Costa Rica wes under protection. Thus, Chatfield, on the Ist of December, 1349, wrote to the governmeat of Nicaragua, saying “the wes authorized to say that, in virtue of the relations which had been established between Great Britain and Costa Rica, the former could not permit of agy alteration in the actual condition of that State;” and, also, that any manifestation of hostility, on the part of Mica- ragua, on account of the Department of Nicoya, or Guanacaste, “could not be viewed with iadif- ference by Great Britain.” Previously, the thing had been declared to the Nicaraguan Minister in London, Mr. Castillon, by Mr. Addington, Under Secretary of State, by order of Lord Pal- merston himself. Costa Rica also proceeded, under these auspices, to grant charters to English companies, tor colo- nization, ete., upon the territories of Nicaragua, | and also for a canal, by way of the river San Juan and Lake Nicaragua, to the Pacific. Upon receipt ef information concerning these | proceedings, at Washington, Mr. Clayton addressed # categorical letter to Sir Henry Bulwer, as to the nature of this pew protectorate; to which Mr. Bul- wer replied, under date of April 29, 1850, saying “that the British goverament had not made, and had no intention of making, any treaty or arrange- ment with Costa Rica, for taking that State under Britieh protection.” An authentic copy of that letter was communicated to the government of Nicaregua, which, having exhausted all amicable means for the recovery of ite rights, immediately resolved to occupy the territory in question—and has now done so There is no war beyond that, end there will be none, unless Costa Rica shoul aitempt to reeist the restoration. This she will not do, unless she has the assurance of British support, which cannot be extended, except ia com- plete defiance of Mr Bulwer’s official assurances. it is bu y that aine-tenths of th people of ¢ je tavorably inelined to N caregua, and anxious for incorporation ia the lat- | ter State.

The rpicit of speculation is rapidly extending itself and stock speculators are becoming more abund every day, Prices are advancing with rapid stride and there appears to be mo limit to transactions There appears to be more anxivty to buy, at present: prices, than when the market ruled ten per cent lower All the leading fancies have advanced more rapidly, during the past two days. than at any previous cor- responding period within our recollection. Severe of the fancies have reached a feartul height, while others range below their actual value as investments Farmers’ Loan, Canton Co., and Erie Railroad, are enormously inflated. Holders must have a vast dea? of confidence in those stocks to carry them, if they can get rid of them at present prices, Morris Capa! was particularly active to day, the ales summing up more than three thousand shares, at an advance of %¢ per cent. There is « wide margin for a rise in thie stock, speculation or no epeeulation, and we aball, without doubt, soon see all our former predictions realized Portemouth Dry Dook is steadily working upward, There is very little stock pressing upon the market. Reading Railroad has takem the start we anticipated some timesrince It is our impression that it will sell at a higher price, dividend off, than it does now; it is the ouly large stock in which there is, in fact, any margin for improvement. Reading Rail road is better worth ninety per cent than Erie Rail road is worth sixty. At the first Board, to-day, Erie Income Bonds ad vanced \; per cent; Delaware and Hudson Serip, Farmers’ Loan, 1';; Canton Co., 33¢.; Erie Railroad, 1 Harlem, 1%; Reading Railroad, 1; Hudson River Railread, XX; Morris Canal, %; Portsmouth Dry Dock, $s.

The bears must look upon thie rire with astonishment. Ouradvice to that class of operators, for sometime past, baa be to keep quiet, to withdraw from the market, and let the bulls have tull swing. If they have followed that advice, they have done well; if not, the rise now going on will, without doubt, clean some of them out. The market has now reached suc! ate, that holders of stocke must watch it clesely, or they will find themselves in Atight place, Thore who stand alocf, and look om quietly, ocoupy much the safest position.
