Ak News from Europe. ‘The steamship Asia, with one week’s later news from Europe, is now in her twelfth day from Liver- pool, and will probably arrive here in the course of the afternoon or evening. She will bring us in- telligence of the formation of the new English ministry in the place of the Russell cabinet. We shall publish an extra as soon as her news comes to hand. Summary of the Latest [ntelligence, ‘The Senate in special session, yesterday, cen- firmed several additional nominations, a list of whieh will be found under our telegraphic head; and all the business which they were called to- gether for the purpose of transacting having been acted upon, with the exception of the eontirma- taon of the euperintendent of the Custom House, ‘at New Orleans, they have agreed to adjourn to- it appears, has got ou: ot his printing difficulties better than it was eupposed he would. The Senate, yesterday, passed a resolu- tion directing the purchase from him of forty-five thousand copies of the Patent Office report. This will put our venerable cotemporary on his pius again. We trust we have seen the last of the trickstering connected with the public printing. Another effort was made yesterday by the Mas eachusetts legislature to electa UU. S. Senator, in accordance with the coalition entered into some- time since, but without effect. As, on the former qtials, the choice was between Mr. Winthrop and Mr. Sumner, the latter waating seven votes of be ‘ing elected, which is a falling off of five since the previous attempt. We are inclined to believe that Mr. Sumner” ill not be returned. Condition and Prospects of Cuba. it is reported, by the last steamers from Havana, that Gen. Concha is about to visit Spain, to consult with the Cabinet of Madrid on the introduction of a general system of reform for that island. At all events, whether he goes or not, he has started a capital movement in the beginning of his adminis- station, by mekwg such investigations, collecting fuch facts, and forming such conclusions, as will enable him to conduct the government on a wiser and safer policy than any of his recent predecessors have done. The arrival of General Concha in Havana marks a period in the history of Cuba. although he is chiefly distinguished as a military man, yet he is gifted with considerable civie talent; but, above all, he brought to his post one euality which bas been, unfortunately, but too yare mong those natious which have flourished under the tropics. He is a man of integrity. Loag accustomed to obey a sovereign, and exact obe- dience from subalterns, he brought to his new | field of service sentiments of the highest loyalty. | He bad occasion to show these qualities at once, | | on his arrival. The Captain (ieneralship of Cuba had long been regarded as @ sinecure, which had | generally been bestowed on court favorites. With j little service to render, and many honors and per- quisites to enjoy, the accumulation of wealth | had become the chief oceupation of the gov er. | mors of Cuba. With this object im view, the post had usually been sought. It head been the custom, for instance, on the arrival of every new governor, to reaew ell the licenses of the island, which, at a moderate estimate, cost the inhabitants | It was understood that not | not lese than ¢100,000. ese than two thirds of this sum went to the go. vernor—the first bribe his loyalty eneountered— the balance going into the pockets of the chief wens, who, under « family compact, swayed the power of an oligarchy, and managed with dest. euthority almost all the financial, commercial, dicial, and ecclesiastical, alia irs of the island. Op Concha rival it was eupposed, of cou ‘that he would fali into the policy ef his prede- censors, and preparations were made by his subor- digates for the renewal of licenses. Ile repl ghat he regarded the act as annesessery; business | could go on withou: it.

But doubtless, fad» himeeif too weak to risk a bold and Tewmisiog reformatien heoce the necessity or the wisdom of his returning to Madrid, to diecuse matters with the 5 and to know how to shaje furore Before hie arrival Guban affairs had reached , erie. The better portion of the people wanted « ebange— but sober-minded Cubans never dreamed efarevolution, They believed amelioration pos- @bie, and they determined to aghieveil. They ie*ty, out hie cours for th er i chosé the following means:—They undertook to make their grievances heard—to spread them be- fore the world—to reach the court of Spain, and operate in Madrid, through the public sentimeat of mankind. Hence they established Spanish jour- nalsin New Orleans, aad New York, where the | censorship cf the Family, Compact could aot r | singwler criminals of the present age of social- ' ism, philosophy, and crime. reach, and through them advocated their cause be. fore the tribunal of the world In the meantime, discontent was epreading—the cause of Cuba was loudly advocated by some of our own newspapers; and things at last went go far, | that milder measures n0 longer suited the warme? and more impolitic Cubans. The young creoles began to want revolution, and they even talked about annexation to the United States. But the great body of the reformers would aot listen to so fatal a policy; they divided, and con- sequently decimated their force. Men of sense, fluence, capital and character, recoiled before a possible reign of blood and anarchy. Thenceforth, the ultraists rushed on without restraint, and the better classes began to retreat. About this time the Mexican war ended, aad our troops were recalled. The revolutioniste of Cuba sent an agent to Mexico, with overtures to General Werth, hoping he would lead an army of invasion to join the insurrectionists, and proclaim a republic on the island. They prom sed him everything ; millions, power, glory. The cautious genera! only asked $100,000 eash in hand ‘for his family, incase of an accident”—but these revolutionists could not raise the money, and Genera] Worth would not go. They made the same proposals to Governor Quitman, but the plan worked no better. Atlast these desperate men hit upon Lopez, and a bargain was soon struck ; it being understood that this needy adventurer would work for nothing, if he could only have ‘‘the glory of emancipating Cuba,” with a crack at the treasury of Cardenas. Out of this grew that mad- dest, meanest, and silliest of all modern expeditions, (which never took place,) has constituted the chief glory of the veteran financier of Plainfield bank memory. It was, doubtless, take it all in all, the smallest small-potato expedition the world has heard of since the wonderful battle of the windmills—said to have been fought by the re- doubtable knight of Spain, in the days of expiring chivalry—or the Navy Island invasion. The Lopez expedition was supported in Cuba only by hot- heads, who had nothing to lose; and in the United States only by seedy adventurers, desperadoes, and a few bamboozled, weak-minded individuals, like the perny proprietors of the Lopez journal. The true reformers of Cuba never dreamed, at any time, of breaking with Spain—they knew it was ruin, When the fog of the Lopez expedition cleared away, the moderate mea—the genuine reformers— needed new organs, through which to speak to the world. They established them, and tried to wipe out the stain of the Lopez attempt. {t wae natural they should take strong royalist ground—they did. Seen was the old game, and such the hurried moves and check-matings on the political chese board of Cuba till the arrival of the new Governor- and indicated his policy. What he will do, re- mains to be seen. He must make some decisive movements, for Cuba cannot stand still. Like Canada in the time of McKenzie, the Lopez of that decade, she is in a state of transition. She cannot long remain where she is. What will ste do! She has no prospect of independence. It is, perhaps, even the last desire of her people. And iy it were not, the men who own the property of the island wil] not bazard it, with their lives, on the faro table of rebellion. She has no pros pect of help fiom the United States, and least of all of annexation. We have an- nexed enough for the present. Uatil we can invent some (now unknown) way of disposing of our pew territory, without eplitting our republic, we may as well let o:her people keep what belongs tothem. We have teken from the old empire of Castile quite as much as we can well digest for the present. Meentime, what is to become of Cuba! We hope Gen. Concha will go to Madrid, and carry the facts with him. Sometimes, a man who has advanced | money on.a second mortgage, has to raise inore cash to sweep off ihe firet. This may be the case with | Spain. She must do something. She can, and probably will, not only save her ‘ Queen of the Antilles,” but by a wise, timely, and liberal po- | liey, render that genial and verdant island not oaly the fairest, but the securest, gem in her crown. oncha is an honest, a brave, and a generous man. | It he embraces the whole enbject in his survey, elaborates from searching investigations a wise and progressive policy, and can bring the Spanish min- istry to senction his views, he will prove the second Cortez of old Castile in the new world. Be it so. New Orgra Prosrets —The new opera pro- ject put forth by Mr. Fry, once a manager himself, but unfortunate in hie reeults, is getting along slowly. It will be recollected that the plan was to collect five hundred subscribers of five hundred dol Jers each, making a fund of two hundred and fifty | thousand dollara, for erecting a eplendid opera house m the upper part of the Bowery, the sub- | scilbers getting for their subscriptions, free se for ninety-nine years. The appeal made by Mr. Fry to the fashionable end musical society of this city, has produced nearly thirty subscribers, with a promise that may extend the number to fifty. We are afraid, however, that if more liberality and speed are not exhibited by fashionable society of New York, in supporting this project, the whole nia \y-mine years will have elapsed before the list is fnally made ap. This would be a lamentable slur on the taste and fashion of New York; and in order to help the project es much az possible, we meoy be compelled to take two, three, five, or ten shares ourselves, in order to encourage the enter- prise, and bring forth thegmusical taste of this city Im © proper shape Thue much on that project.

Any re duction im tolls will be death to its dividends; an? even with the present tariff of eharges, its full capacity must have active employment. Estimates have been circulated showing a bust: d per ton, for the year 1851, an imorease of 150,000 ton- eB that of last year, 1860, wher the company had for four months, the entire monopoly of the coal carrying trade of the Schuylkill region, These catimates aze- extravagant and ridiculous, and are made to attrast outsiders, and induce them to purchase the stock st. present and higher prices.

Fancy stooks are too much concentrated in Wall street, and there ie a great scarcity of outside opera- tors. Brokers are large holders, waiting e demand from speculators. It is our im- pression {hat there will not be for some time any spe- culative wovement of co: ence in stooks generally. Some ofthe leading stocks may be taken up, and prices inflated considerably beyond present points, | while others will be hammered down by the bears as much as possible. In this way the machinery may be kept in operation, but we do net see the slightest inclination of an upward move- There are stooks on the list Cheap at current rates, while others are too high ond will, without doubt, falloff. The merits and do merits of each stock operated in will be pretty well canvassed by speculators before becoming Involved in either movement ; and im times like these there is more probability of getting at the real facts in relation toeach than in times of greater excitement. All the 8nd stoeks are well sustained amidst the depression. Portsmouth Company is in demand, but holders are not disposed to sell. The valuable property of the company, and its prospective productiveness, give | stockholders such confidence that present priees are no object; great thatf only a few shares find thei: way out dally. Edgeworth is slowly recovering from the depression Company remains firm at our quotations. There is no anxiety among holders to sell, Norwich and Harlem are the two firmest railroad stocks on the list; and, at present prices, must attract purchasers for invert: it. The prospects of the Harlem road are so flattering, that vidends thie year, on ite par value, will, without doubt, be equal to six per cent, at least, om eighty; showing ® margin for a rise from present prises of thirteen per oe Norwich Worcester ts « ten per cont investment at ourrent quotation. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Tre: of thie port to day amounted to $87,004 60; paym $210, 164 74; balance, $4,202 477 40. The slow amd tedious manner in which the resent cases of fraud and swindling have been co: ed in our lew courts, has excited @ reat deal of In’ focial a well as in Snancial commercial oi It is # question what constitutes awindiiog, stealing, embesziement, &c., in Wall street; whether whet {s considered criminal out ef Wall street, is comidered by the same wire judges criminal in Wall street. It j@ 8 most weighty avd important matter. and consid. efable anxiety exists relative to the result of the lovee. tigations whiob have been going 0a in our courts, dur- ‘ pat three months. The records of ocr criminal courts show numerous, convictions for ewindling som- mitted out of the locality above namod; and Sing Sing conteins many who have found the meshes of ths law too closely woven for them.

They appear to ponsers « talisman that ebieids them from harm. and they pass unscathed through the mow ordeal. We leave it to those who have closely e ued the progress of the recent investigations in cus oourte, to solve the mystery. Within ths past three moaths three distinct charges of awindlieg, embexal fraud, (whatever it can be called.) have been proterred ageinet certain. parties, in which between two and three hundred thourand dollars are involved, an probability is, from present appear that they will be lost sight of om of these days, aud the parties swindled left to make the best of it We learn that « ing of the direotors of the Reading Ratiroad Company is about being held, to | ttke into consideration t propriety of reducing the tolls for the transportation of coal, duting the present | searon, The competition about taking place in the coal buriness will force the oomp: Dertant reduction im the tarlif of charges. The Schuyl- Kill capal opens this yoar under the most favorable Surpices. and its capacity for carrying coal will prob: bly be tested to ite utmost.
