DOUBLE SHEET. ry 17, 1851, Mechanios’ Hall, 472 Broadway The Kuropean News by the Afcica, The happy tidings of the safety of the steamer Atlantic so universally absorbed the curiosity o! the public, on the arrival of the Africa, that the pogition of public affairs in the various European States possessed no interest. A calm having suc- ceeded to the first tumultuous joy, we are nowable to indicate the prominent points in the progress of events on the other side of the water. The succese of Louis Napoleon in his coup d'etat —for such it must be considered—will tend greatly to strengthen his position. He will gain credit for a firmness of purpose, which, it has been said, forms no part of his character. The means of his wuccess are found in his new cabinet, composed of men outside of the active political circle, who, in carrying out the principles avowed ia the Presi- dent’s annual message, will ride much more se- curely en the tide of popular favor than those whose political voyages have been often criticised, and even severely censured. The chart by which they propose to steer their course is a plain and simple one. It involves litte that is doubtful, and, if adhered to, will be a sufficient anewer to the charge of ore of the members of the National As- sembly, that the message was an act of hypocrisy ‘The letter of our Paris correspondent gives a ra- ther indignant evidence of the hostility of a portion of public opinion to the decision of Louis Napoleon in forming @ new cabinet—but the act of the As- sembly in passing to the business of the day, and the calm that succeeded M. Royer’s reply, very clearly show that the President is in the very best possible position. He could not have secured himself better, after the dismissal of Changarnier, than by ‘96 a politician, such as he has not hitherto enjoy- ed. Ofhis ambition and his purposes we may be justified in saying this—that it remains for Fraace 40 prove her attachment for the republic, and that Napoleon can become nothing that France herself does not approve. Her chief danger is in those Jegitimists who still sigh for the days of kingcraft, ‘and who have not yet learned to sacrifice their own vain prejudices in behalf of the common good of their country and countrymen. ~ The epeech of the Queen of England—in abstract —has already been published. It is more vague and unsatisfactory than usual. No reference seems to be made in it to the World’s Fair, the most popular topic of the presen! season; and the Roman Catho- Ise question is touched with asparing hand. How- ever, it may yet be found that the spiritual power ef the Pope involves a control over men’s tempo- ral affairs; and on that ground, Parliament may meet any recommendation made by Lord John Russell, with peculiar favor—provided it strikes deep enough to suit the political instincts of the wisdom of the nation We perceive that the Pope proposes to abdicate. In the present posture of affairs, this movement is ene that may have a very important result, parti- cularly a2 there is avast power at work, like the enuidron of 2 voleano, under the whole of italy, and which mey again show ite strength at an early day. la addition to this resolution of the Pope, we find, also, that Cardinal Antonelli has determined to give the people of this country a epecial Cispensation, in the shape of three cardinals; one of whom, we do not doubt, will be our parti- cular friend, Behop Hughes, for whose spiritual exaltation we have oftea earnestly and fervently | prayed. Titles, in this country, are of little im. | pertance, an’ there are cbstiaate people who will call a cardinal ora king plain Mister—but if the Fea) quality cf a cardinal or of a king isin the man, this little result of contumacious democracy can- | pot have any effect upon a great dignitary either of a church or State. Mr. Fillmore ie just good as President Fillmore, anywhere and every- | where Mr. Webster's letter, in reply to the Austrian | Minister's conduct, has created a profound sen- sation in Europe, and we now learn, fer the first time, that Mr. Dudley Mann has been in some d@anger from the orders of the Austrian govern- ment. Added to this, the Luropean powers are actively a: work, Jor the purpose of devising means of putting the Helvetian republic under the es- paonege of a political ce. All these things are significant. The hopes Switzerland, ot re- | publican France, of sleeping Italy, and of Turkey, ere in this country: and the United States will have too much regard for the commercial in- tereste at eteke between iteelf and the future of these nations, to view with indifference anything | that may abndg ft importance. On the other hand, the strongest berriers againet unjust aggres sion upon weak nations will be those commercial treatics with our country, the interruption of which, by foreign nations, will call for remon- Strance on our part, if not for more active evi- dences of easure.

Cleive and more satiatactory to the great emotions | which » eof men at the beyond the guarantes resent hour. of security which our treaties, made and conte: ted, will give, there is bo way in which we cap be justified ae a nation in throwing ovr protection over the weak. The beat we can do ia to lose no time in establishing such relations with several foreign powers, as will ma- terially contribute to their prosperity, our own benefit, and 'o the general peace of the world In Spain and teresting movements ia ¢ jermany there have been some in- iplomatic fields, to which we have only epace to call attention. A new, thovgh slight, difficulty has arisen in Schles wig Holstein, thongh the old trouble been smoothed over Russia is now making some pre« tencee; but what may be the resulte, time alone ean ‘She Fugitive Slave Law in Bosten—The Law Outraged. In yesterday’s Herald we publisned an account of the arrest of a negro, named Shadvach, in Boe ton, om the charge of being @ fugitive from the een bor State of Virginia, and his rescue from the officers THE DAILY HERALD, 2 cents per copy—$T per | who had him in charge, by a mob of negroes, who forced an entrance into the United States Court room and carried him off. It seems that Shadrach decamped from the service of Mr. De Bree, in the month of May last, and from that time to the day of his arrest, lived im the capacity of waiter in a coffee house in that city. He was recognized afew days since, and a warrant for his arrest was issued, in regular form, by the United States Marshal. When he was in custody of the Commissioner, and when the case was under advisement, the counsel for the fugitive asked a postponement of the case till to-morrow, (Tuesday,) which was grant- ed. The court room was then cleared; but on the application of the fugitive’s counsel, those gentlemen were admitted, for the purpose of con- sulting with him as to the line of defence which they should adopt in his case. When the confer- ence was terminated, they proceeded to depart, and as the last of then was leaving the court room, the door was forced in by an infuriated mob of co- lored people, who knocked down the officers, and carried the fugitive away in triumph. Thisis the greatest outrage to the laws that has taken place in many years ; and it shows conclu- sively that the teachings of the white negroes of Boston have produced the only effect which they could produce on the black negroes of that city. That degraded portion of the population have at length broken the law, and violated the sanctuary of justice. They have committed one of the gravest offenees known to the law, and in. sulted the majesty of the people and of the government of the United States. But what else could be expected in a city which tolerates such disorganisers as Lloyd Garrison, ‘Wendell Phillips, and their coadjutors in mischief? The city of Boston stands disgraced before the whole country. The stigma of this act cannot be washed out, except by the punishment, to the full- est extent of the law, of all who took partin, or connived at, this gross outrage, as well as their aiders and abetters—black, white, blue er grey— whosoever they may be. If the citizens of Boston have any desire to be reinstated in the good opinton of their fellow citizens throughout the country, they will exert themselves to the utmost to see that the law is vindicated. They are bound, at all events, not only morally, but legally, to pay the value of the fugitive to his claimant. This, however, is an insignificant matter compared with the gross outrage which was perpetrated by the mob in violently rescuing the slave from the custody of the United States officers. That diegrace cannot be atoned for in any other manaer than by punish- ing the rescuers, and teaching them a leasoa which they will remember for the remainder of their lives, that laws—no matter if they are objectionable to them—must be obeyed as long as they remain on the statute book, and that they cannot be resisted or disobeyed with impunity. They must be taught that the higher law doctrine of resistance cannot be put in practice, although it may be cited by dema- gogues to suit their own purpose, or promote their private ends. A great reponsibility now rests onthe United States authorities in Boston, especially the District | Attorney and the Marshal, in reference to this | doubtedly fled to Camada; but they can arres; | | and bring to punishment the vagabonds who broke | | life, in vindicating the law, let it be matter. They may not be able to recapture Sha- | | drach the fugitive, for it is very probable that he is by this time beyond their reach, having ua- | into the court room and rescued him. They shuold | leave no stone unturned. Fortunately they have | | abundance of testimony; for the several officers | | from whose custody the fugitive was violently | Bhat act, which has established for him a character ; taken will unquestionably be able to recognise | and identify the ringleaders and m active of the mob. If they fail in performing their duty promptly and efficiently, they should be immediately dis- missed from office, and better men substitu:ed in their stead. But we have no apprehension that they will. We feel confident that they will dis- | charge the responsibility now resting on them with firmness, and with fidelity to the laws, and to their fellow citizens throughout the confederacy. This is the eecond failure to execute the Fugi- | : tive Slave law in the city of Boston. The country expects that it will be the last. Fagitives from slavery, now living in different parts of the North- | ern and Eastern States, will doubtless flock to that | city, uader the impression that they will be secure there—that the law cannot be carried into effect. We therefore recommend euch of our Southern fellow citizens as have lost slaves, to keep a watch on that city, in order to discover them, if possible; and we advise the officers of the United | States, when they arrest such fugitives, to takethem | 10 the Charlestown navy yard. Nor would it, we | think, be amies, on future occasions, to call on | Mayor Bigelow for a detachment of military to sustain the United States authorities in carrying out the law. If it be necessary to shed blood and ake | done, even ifa thousand be sacrificed. The constitution and the | laws must be upheld, without regard to conse- quences ;—we would be traitors to ourselves, our country, and to the world, if we shrink from main- taining them. yh. bee Tre Repveric or Liverta.—We published, ia yesterday's Herald, some very interesting intelli- gence from the new republic of Liberia, for which we were indebted to Captain Ellis, of the oark Edgar.

The Particulars of the Accident to her Machinery. SPLENDID SAILING QUALITIES OF THE SHIP. Accounts from Captain West, Chief Officer Shufeldt, and | ngineer Roberts, hc. de. die, We published, yesterday, a tull socount of the mis- bap which occurred to the steamship Atlantic on her trip from Liverpool to Kew York, and attempted at the same time to deseribe the enthusiasm which the intel. ligence of her safety created in this city. We say that we attempted to do so, for it would be impossible to depict it in euch manner as to convey to our readers at a distance a true idea of it. The community of New York, of every class, indulged in an exuberance of joy, such as we have seldom witnessed in this city of ex- citement. The Atlantic, it eppears, left Liverpool under very favorable auspices, although during the prevalence of a gale which war so sever torender it unsafe to land her pilot. It was hoped that by the time she got to sea, the wind would have abated; but it did not. No sooner kad she passed Cape Clear that she met with as rough and as boisterous a sea as was ever seen inthat region. Nevertheless, the Atlantic was not to be deterred. She was constructed in the strong: est manner possible, and fitted to encounter any hur- ricane or uny sea that the Western ocean ever witness- ed, with safety; and with full confidence that she was equal to any emergency which could arise, her captain, Mr. Weet, ard her first officer, Mr. Shufeldt, headed her towards Cape Race, confident that she would give a good account of herself. But ‘man proposes and God disposes.” On the sixth of Janu- ary, when the noble ship was nine days at sea, | having encountered during that time a succession ot gales from the westward, the main shaft broke. Of courte, this accident precluded all hope of her making her usual passage; for she would have to depend upon sall alone to reach the port of her destination, some Jourteen hundred miles distant. Halifax being the nearest port, Captain West determined to head her for that place; but another gale having sprung up, it was deemed best to steer for Bermuda. But the wind being unpropitious, her course was changed, with the assent of the passengers and officers; and at ten o'clock, P.M, on the eleventh of January, westerly winds still pre- vailing, Capt. in West determined to seek the nearest port in Europe, which was Cork, in Ireland, distant fourteen hundred miles. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 22d of January she anchored in Cork roadstead inf satety, having accomplished that distance in alittle over tem days. Considering the immense dimensions of the Atlantic, and the small amount of eanvas which every steamship. The stokers of the Atlantic=peor and bumble as they are, but thankful to Capt West for bringing them into safety—in the plenitude of their gratitude to him, not as their captain, but as their de- liverer, as they supposed, met together, and adopted the following address.

Feeling that, under divine Providence, we are indebted to you for our safety, we cannot permit this Opportunity to cond without expressing our humble but sincere wishes for your sae jimess, prosperity, and long life. In our situation in life,we have neither old or silver to offer; but such as we have is cheer- a effered. which is our humble services. The following are some extracts from the Eaglish papers, concerning the Atlautic’s mishap, which will be read with interest by the public :-— {From the Liverpool correspondent of the Mancheste™ Examiner} Considerable excitement has prevailed here to-day, in consequence of the news that was received late last 2M. ofthe return of the American built steamship Atlantic, in a damaged condition, to Cork, after having been at sea since the 28th ultimo. The greatest anxiety was manifeeted in the early part ot the day, to learn how the agents, Messra Brown, Shipley & Co., would tin the matter, and what extent of damage had been sustained by the vessel. With reference to the former, we bave to announce that the steamship Cambria, be- lenging to the British and North American Royal Mail Steamship Company, has been chartered to pro- ceed to Cork, and trom thence to New York, and all goods and passengers will be forwarded by her on the 4th of February, rubject, of course, to the approbation of the shippersor passengers. All of the latter desirin, it, may receive back their passage money, and procee: by any other conveyance they choose Some disap- pointment bas been expressed that the departure of the Cambria should be delayed until the 4th of next month, or that the agents did not at once despateh their own vessel, the Baltic, nowin port; but the fact is that the Cambria could not be got ready sooner, and the Baltic isin deck, avd, in consequence of the neap tides,cannot be got out. The regular mail steamer, the Africa, will sail hence for New York on Saturday next (te-morrow), and the Atlantic’s mail will, it is up itood. be forwarded by her. It is probable that there will be very great amxiety manifested on the other of the Atlartic for the ratety of the dis- and particularly as nearly five weeks will ny tidings of the accident can be re- in New York. Unfortunately no mail will be despatched tor America to-morrew. T a e Atlantic proved herself an excellent seaboat; is gratifying to learn that ber d the slightest injury. She had 29 passengers on board, who have exprensed their warm approbation of Captain Wert and bis officers on this trying occation. [From the Cork Examiner } We regret that the machinery of this vessel in not likely to be rectified in this port. It is understood that rhe will be (owed round to Liverpool, and her machinery sent on to the Soho Works, in Birmingham, to be repaired by the same parties who repaired the same vensel when she was disab! f tion. The accident reeulted from flaw in the i which could not have been foreseen, have happened in emooth as reason why the Cambria is 8 4 to take the cargo of the Atlantic, is, that the Baltic she carries, this was an extraordinary teat. Thanks to kind Providence, and to the skill of Captain West and Mr. Shufeldt, the Atlantic reached,Cork in sufeby, with no damage to the ship of any moment. In fact, we learm from the English papers that she could have been refitted for ses in Cork, in a very short time; but Captain West being subject to the orders of the agents of the Collins in England, had to abide by their nd they gave directions that she should to Liverpool, and @ new shaft made for her The following is a copy of a letter addressed by Cap- tain West to E.

With characteristic medesty, Captain West states the facts merely, and does not say ® word of his agency, Jer Providence, in bringing the Atlantic into port eately. He is, however, entitled to the credit of not only doing that, but of satisfying the world that the Atlantic ie sure veenel, even it her machinery breaks down, and that travellers can embark in her with the areurance that they are rafe, come what may. Mr. Ropes, the chief « er, aleo is entitled to tome credit. His exertions to get the Atlantic intoa port of safety, when the socident occurred, entitle him to great deal of credit. The following is an ex. tract of a letter which he wrote to Mr. Colliae:— “AtT45P.M., om the 6th January, inthe midet of w heavy gale of wind, the centre shett broke in the starboard jourmal, and in separating, fractured the pillar block, but doing no other da obliged to take off her buckets to impede our progress as little as porsible; but owing to th x When all was secured remark that the engines bad never perior tter, I had not Mad the slightest trouble sinoe leaving New York That the detention of the Atiantic was caused by an accident which was unforeseen, and which could not be provided sgainst, is the opinion of not only the gentlemen who took pattage in her, but of the English press, without an exception.

The sailing ies af the ship seem to have been evidenced by the time in which she retraced her pussage. We cannot better conclude this narrative of the Atlantic's accident than by referring to the joy which the intelligence of her safety created in this city on turday evening.

During the progress of the fire there were frequent explosions of considerable vio- lence, as the liquor casks and several cans of guapow- der were reached by the flames, These did no parti- cular damage, although the shocks were ‘elt more or less in houses several doors distant. The {progress of the fire was eo rapid, that nothing was saved, and the books and valuables which were in the safe were not removed, but on taking the esfe from the ruins, the books and papers were found uniojured. ‘The proprietors have apprehensions that the store wasentered from the rear, and the safe forced, and that the robbers in their retreat fired the building, as no fires or candies had been used im the store for some hours previous, The stock of Foster & Dickenson was insured for 18,000 dollars, distributed among the Howard, Etna, Lovg Island, Empire State, and Rome Protection companies.
