Telegraphic Summary. ‘The business in the New York Legislature y: terday was very interesting, for its variety aud euliarities. In the Senate, Mr. Upham made a report in favor of the canal project; andin answer to the report of the Attorney General, cited the opinion of Daniel Webster, which favors the constitution- ality of the bill, aad presents a very different view ef the question from that which has long b en- tertained—in fact, the view Thurlow W taken of it, and whicb has been urged by him so strenucusly for somet ast. Mr. Skinner made a minority report against the bill. A bill for the assessment und collection of taxes, with amend- ments made by the select committee, was passed. A litile scene of opposition was raised on the ques tion of cn immediatee report on Mr. Bee resolutions, iaviting Daniel Webster to addre: Legislature. After a little sparring, the vote i Beekman’s favor stood seventeen to fourteen for a “repert without delay the powers of cities and villages, it will be seen, also eame before the Senate, and one or two oth teresting topics, which are noticed under our te graphic head In the Assembly, yesterday, a b:ll for the ma: tenance of the canals for the fiseal year was pas and much other interesting matter was taken A very large number of bills were rep several appropriat’@a bills were passed, pa: with respect to educational purposes.

We learn with regret that a very large fire eccurred at Catrkill, the loss by which is estimated at about fifty thousand dollars. | ed has ¢ in- the present has Ramored Expedition against Cuba—Alarm of the Cuban Authoritics. We have received recently, a number of private aad other communications, from the I-laad of Cuba, | giving us accounts of the terror and exciteme: which gxist among the officials there, at peet of another invading expedition, whic ht thy apprehend is fitting out in some port of the Unit States, composed of two thousand men or wore, the jurpose of overturning Spanish authority that island. By these accounts we the Captain ral, who is @ very popular and in- telligent man, believes, to a certain extent, in these rumors, and ix organizing the forces at his disposal, #0 as to be able, successfully, to repel any such mitack All these precautions bat all the rumors about another expedition being fitted eut inthe United States, for any such object as the juvasion of Cuba, are, in the highest ¢ b ward and ridiculous.

At the same time, we bave no dou t Lopes, and the few adventurers by whom he rounded, are engeged in civeulating these rumors w Orleans, and at other Southern poiats, fo the pr of cout ‘ terror and apprehen- sion of the inhabitants and authorities of Cuba ting unnecessary expense to the gover in p ing to meet yrel ex peditious. Lopes, and tl , nected with bim, live on rumor Of faccie It i f fubsicten tunately, the acti f United States government, in reference tot expedition to Cardenas, has given some aribility to such ramors. ‘The cabinet of Gene- aw ral Taylor, which was a very weak concern, hardly knew how to act in regard to th edition, al though their duties were clearly pointed out by laws of Congress. Mr. Clayton was one day in favor of the annexation of Cuba, and against it th meat. One day he would address a letter to the United States Conml at Havana, of a very bell and on the next, would direct rent charneter; epixtle to the commander of the naval f Wert le le aod vciliag in seas, of a very peace He never knew what be ld do, or how he could get out of Unfortunately, too, the cabinet of has never exactly got out of the fog fn regard to Cuban affairs. Lopez and several of his asa were very properly indicted for vio- | Mating, on jaws of the United States, by a grand jory in New Orleans. But not content with having these men indicted, the United States government monet insist on dvagging in as many politicians and Poblic men of the South, as they could, in order to Give elut and notoriety to their movements. Ac- cordingly, General Henderson, a leading democrat | of New Orleans, who may have been favorably divpored towards « revolution in Caba, but who took no active part in the busines, was likewise in- dieted by the same or another grand jury, oa the ground that be acted as the agent of the expedition. ture ought to the difficulty Mr. Fillmore, iste, in buying or selling the steamboat used on the occasion.

Beach, of this city—the fa- mous financier of the Plainfield, Lebigh, and other rotten banking eoncerns—was urwch more deeply implicated im the expedition to nas, and might have been more legitimately indietod by the grand jury, than either General Henderson or General Quitman, and yet no notice was takea of him. It was this weak and imbecile conduct of the general government, under the administration of General Taylor and Mr. Fillmore, in relation to the of the United States, which places it in the power and thus irritate the authorities of But this was not all, The authorities managed worse whea the trials came on in New Orleans. In —such as General Henderson and General Quit- man; while the principal criminals, such as Lopez himself, against whom there was abundant evi- dence, were permitted to remain in the back- ground, and benefit by the chances that might eral Henderson, after these trials, it was found, could not be convicted, anda nolle prosequi was en- tered in the cuse; and the United States Attorney, ina moment of embarrassment, or in a huff, enter- ed anole prosequi against the whole batch of the re- maining indicted parties, including Lopez, the principal violator of the laws. This is a brief view of the weak and imbecile | management ofthe government in relation to the Messrs. Clayton and Webster both have exhibited an inefficiency in the matter, which cannot but be contrasted in a manner very unfavorably to them, with the conduct of Martin Ven Buren towards the revolutionists of Canada, a few years ago. | The escape of Lopez and others, who evidently | violated the United States laws, has thus become | such a godsend to the revolutionists, that they are perfectly wild, and cannot keep giving out, as soon | as they were themselves perfectly clear, their doter- mination to make another attempt on Cuba, with- out any funds, and without the slightest prospect of obtaining any, for carrying their threat into execu- tion. All such threats are entirely empty, and | originate with Lopez and his advisers, without th | slightest expectation on their part of ever attempt- | ing to carry them into effect. We are satis- | fied, that ina few weeks, the Captain General of | | Cuba will be convinced that the view we take of the | matter is correct. The government of Cuba may rest satisfied there will be no chance, n0 oppor- | tunity, to get up an expedition against Cuba in this | country, for many years tocome. They may dis- mise all apprehension on that seore, and may pro- ceed to carry out the reforms in the administration | of the government of that island which have been commenced, and endeavor to extend commercial intercourse between the two countries, which will benefit Spain and Ler colonies, as much as it will the United States. Tue Watt Srreet Cases Turnen Ur.—The inquiry which we made some few days ago, has been of some service, for since then, one after another, the Wall street cases have again turned up. The first one is that of the brokers of Wall street versus Ray Tompkins. In another column will be found the decision of one of the judges of the Supreme Court, by which it will be seen that tha position of Mr. Tompkins has been established as quite pro- per, and that all the blame has been thrown upon his brothers in affiction and tribulation, the busy | individuals, up to their necks in the stocks, in and So it | seems, at last, they have not only lost their money, but their pains also, in trying to recover it. It may be said that they have been fairly cornered, and that Mr. Tompkins has turned the corner against them with eonsiderable ability. By a writ of | habeas corpus, be Was removed from the jurisdiction | of the police magistrate, Mr. Lothrop, before one | of the judges of the Supreme Court, where, the | in the case having been submitted and | examined, the case itself was adjudicated upon, and | a decision made as we have stated. The case of | Mr. Tompkins is very peculiar. For many years he had enjoyed the pure air of Westchester county, | drawing salubrious qualities from its bracing el ments, and now and then indulging himself in shooting the fine game of that region. These | luxeries of a country gentleman, however, were not | cient to gratify his ambition. Oue day he was fired with aspirations to try the dangerous waves and currents of Wall street, and, putting forty thousand dollare into his pocket as an outfit, he | launched upon the tide of that tumultuous sea—the and Charybdis of finance on either side of him. Not heeding the advice to take a middle course, he soon run aground, and his forty thousand dolla were clean washed out of his pocket ; and, to keep himself from entire shipwreck, a debt of about as marked his further navigation among shouls and quickeands, However, he is now lout ega'n, having come out even with hie Wall street brothers in every r t, the desision of one of the judges of the Supreme Court having set Probably he will now re- r county @ to breathe the evidence Sey much more th ain, country, and to bag game at his b is well rid of his original re that h he vre— thanking hi street, even thou, has forty thousand dollars—a cheaply bought expe- ricnve, on the whole, age considered.

Two of our cotemporaries, for the last two or three weeks, bave been debating the question whether the Austrians or Hungarians were the greater knaves, the bloodier cutthronte, or the bigger tyrants and raseals in the late Hungarian | war. Fromm the evidences which they have present- ed there does not appear to be mach choiee between the two. Both of the dieputants seem to be cor- rect. In the Hungarian contest, it appears there were two aristocracies interested in the tide of | eventethe Austrian aristocracy and the Hungarian aristocracy. In order to procure the aid of the Hun- garian democracy, both parties made appeals and promises to the bone and sinew, to win Ra powerto their side. The Hungarian aristocracy made the | t movement; and then the Austrian aristocracy, with the Emperor at their back, made large pro- miset, and held out large hopes. It was a kind of and the operations resembled the voles of Jenny Lind concert tickets. Neither ‘he Hungarion or the Austrian aristocracy intended ‘o full (her promises. It was & mere speculation. | pee | 7 wend letter | considering the early state of t Still it had the effect to gull the American peo- ple out of their sympathies and their dollars—hum- bugging the nation during the whole war of elasses. It was only another proof that the French, the German, the Italian, und all the other revolutions of 1848, disylayed no comprehensive, conservative | idea of true republicanism. Those who took part in , the turbulence ofthe hour were wholly destitute of | the requisite means of establishing republican liber- ty, or systems of popular government for permanent good. Of course, the despotic powers of Europe have now the game in their own hands, and will | continue to hold it, till their hands and even heads are cut off—for the sigus of the times portend a ter- rible and bloody crisis, such as marked the revolu- tion in France in 1790-91, when terrorism prevailed, when the guillotine cut off opinions and heads at | one blow, and Paris was purged with blood. The infidelity, socialism, licentiousness, and rationalism | of Europe is spreading more rapidly than it did ia the days of Robespierre, and there is no philosophi- cal reason why a revolution shall not commence at an early day, which will extend ona wider and broader scale than anything witnessed during the last or present century. ‘Fhe Cirque Olympique at Niblo’s, and Brot "s Lyceum. ‘The remarkably elegant and highly finished entertaia- ments of the combined French and American companies of equestrians at Niblo’s, for the last fortnight, has filled the establishment with the most fashionable audiences of the season, At the opening of the establishment the music was out of order, and the performers somewhat out of practice; but now the scenes in the arena exhibit a variety that is charming, and a degree of excellence that has never before been seen in any establishment on this side of the water. The company comprises some very '- markable talent, which is worthy of particular notice, particularly as some of the performers will soon leave the country for Europe. The fume of Mlle, Loyo—eoneera- ing whom some doubts have arisen, from the fact that so great an artiste came among us unannounced and unex, pected—has been fully established by her performances, The public have been led into a full appreciatton of her romarkably elegant style of exhibiting the whole field of the equestrian art, not only by her own siding, but by the horses Frisette, Juno, Jupiter and Mmytly, which have been trained by her skill and patience. These horses an the finest specimens of training that we have seen, and dance with the intelligence of intellectual creatures, Mile, Loyo and the horses are both identified as one ex- hibition of clegance, grace, spirit, daring, and execution, | How she makes the eight or ten leaps around the circle | jnry to herself, is miraculous, The brothers Loisset are, also, very remarkable performers, M. Loisset is at one time seen in the orchestra leading the music: now fn the circle with his beautiful horse Atar Gull, and now in some spirited act of horsemanship, dixplaying rare artistical merit. Le jeune Loisvet is a phenomenon— whether he walks up an inclined plane, ona round ball, to the top of the stage, and descends upon it backwards, or throws stummerseults on his horses, or sping plates on | the ends of sticks while on horseback, or, in broken Bug- lish, plays and speaks the part of an English jockey, Wallet, the English clown, from Astiey’s, with his eom- who are very clever, is always alive, also, to the , propricties of the English language, and the jokes which can be turned upon the hinges of it—making everyboly laugh at his odd logic, and still more odd rhetoric. He is juet the clown for an elegant cirens. We anust not, how- ever, forget the great American performers, who, out of courtesy to strangers, must be mentioned last. ‘These wre Mr. Thomas Neville, Mr, MeCollam and Mr. Eaton Stone, with the Rivers Family. Neville rides upon his horse with the most remarkable ease, performing the most difficult feats and summersaults without pretence, and accomplishing his purpose to the pleasure of every beholder Ili leaps, while at full speed, are admirably executed. Then McCollum, on two horses, is a traly elegant and bold rider, and in throwing the eummersautt from his horse, and coming to the ground firmly and fixed. he touches the climax of his art. Eaton Stone is | fearless and seif-possessed. On his unsaddled horses he does wonders, and is entitled to the reputation of being perfectly at home in this department of his art, There | recmms an affinity between him and his horses, so ad:ai- rably does he stick to them in every position. H On the whole, the enterprise of Mr. Welch, and those connected with him in establishing this elegant enter- tainment in New York, will lack no support from « pub- lie, quick to perceive the refinements aud elegancies of art, and though the company will remain only a few nichts more, we predict that their snecess will load to the es- tablishunent in this city of a Franconi's, before another twelvemonth bas expired. The crowds which have visited Niblo’s give assurances that the time has come or such an establishment. Brougham lately has undertaken to burlesque equestrian performances, and opera, and almost everything else that | will raise a laugh for the merriment of the frequouters of | his Lyceum, He is always alive to something novel, and interesting, and ngreeable. He has brought out “ The Spirit of Air’ in excellent style, and some other picces of great interest, and he has now in preparation the comic opera, “ The Child of the Regiment,” in which Mary Taylor and other vocalists are to appear. Succes, canuot but crown exertions which are directed toward, satisfying the demands of the public to the fullest ex. tent. Brougham has had his struggles, but he will be appreciated. and his endeavors will be erowned with suc- bese—for he is industrious. Marine Affairs. Sanne or THe Bactic.—The U. 8. M. Steamship Bultic Captain Comstock, will leave to-morrow on her fourth trip to Liverpoul. She will carry out the largest number of passengers ever taken by a steamship to Europe, Yes- terday noon, there were 175 on the book, which is fully expeeted to be increased to 200 or more, Amongst those who have already engaged a passage are the Hon.

The establishment was socn surrounded by the police, who, after much de- lay, obtained the key, and entered. when everything was found in good condition, and no signs of burglary were apparent.

The is asteady expansion of eredits; but th is large enough to justify it, The most important question now under consideration in the financial circles, is inrelation to the future supply of gold frei Colifornia, The extension of public and private credits during the part two years has been so great that any important falling off in the receipts of gold dust from San Francisco, would be immediately attended with dirastrous consequences. Notwithstanding this, we eannot resist the conclusion that sooner than is generally anticipated, euch will be the result, Thus fur this year the receipts of gold have been limited, much below the mort moderate estimate, and there is uo foundation for the rvpposition that they will hereafter be any larger but, on the contrary, all accounts induce us to be will not average monthly o much as they have, The time for picking up gold in large lumps in Californin has passed away, Ma chincry must now be bi » use to obtain gold, And the calculation now makes it out that every dollar of gold produced costs at lonst sixty cents, If that is a corrcet extiate, in less than two years it will cort nearly ae much to get it as it ie worth Improvements will doubtless be mode from time to time In machinery employed in extracting the gold cole basis from the reck; but it is our impression that a lers number of people will turn thelr attention to the burinere, and that other occupations and fornia will this year receive a great nccersion from the mining population. When it | corte nearly ae much to produce gold as it ix worth, ad- Yenturers will not cork after it; and those now engaged in that employinent will abandon it. When the product of gold in California ie reduecd to ten or fifteen million of dcllors per annum, and the production at that rate is Ftendy ond permanent, the progres « of thet country in prorperity and wealth, in population and in civilization, will be equal to anything of the kind ever realized on this continent, Thot time ie not far distant ; and the opinion is rapidly gaining grownd that the year 1861 will ermpletely allay all excitement attached to the pro- duction of gold duct in California The acon is about commencing when we may look for the eppearance in thie market of any quantity of | newly menufaetared incorporated companies. brought forward Vy speculators, for the purpos® of distributing the stock, and refieving themselves of a portion of the capital eek ef-eaeh.

There are indications that the shores of ‘Lake Superior, are again to be the scene of another cop- Certain parties, who were very successful dutémg the last movement, have again entered the field, be ving that the public mind is ripe for it; and that | there are plenty of people prepared to catch at anything likely to give good returns on «mall investments, When. we recollect that the “Kidd offer Dam and Salvage Company’? actually procured an act of incorporation from the Legislature of thia State, and not only sold, its sPares at a high premium, but induged shrewd capi- talists tu invest in them, we sre prepared to believe anything. When such things take place in a community like this, it should not surprise any one to see similar companies started during the present excited state of all | classes, and the disposition to enter into all kinds of spe- culation, It will be necestary for all to be om their guard, and avoid all Lake Superior copper stocks, and. every other kind of stock, the locations of which and the actual yalue of which are not well known. There is, without doubt, a vast quantity of copper ore on the- shores of Lake Superior, and vast amounts of gold im- bedded in the rocks of California; but the question ix what will it cost to get it out, and how many of the com panies formed for thut purpose will sink every dollar em- ployed in the operation? @he probability is, that nine out of every ten; and there is no guarantee that even the one not ruined will ever give its stockholders » cent. Companies depending entirely upon mining ore for mar- ket in those remote sections of the country, have so many difficulties to contend with, even under the most favorable auspices, that the stockholders seldom get any- thing; but companies formed for manufacturing the dif- ferent materials, usually make large profits upon the neunt of labor expended. Industry, properly applied, | will meet its just reward. But what we are epposed to is | the getting up of sham companies, or rather companies muking false representations of their mineral resourees, for the purpose of swindling the community, and injuring those companies the operations of which are legitimate, and the profits moderate and permanent.
