Arrival of the Pacttic—European News. We have news three dsys later from Europe, by the arrival of the Pacific, which has made another | short pass: ‘The commercial markets of England are much @epressed, and there has been a further tendency of | Prices downward in the colton market. The Loa- | @on newsy complain that the town is not so fall as it y is at this season, notwithstanding the anticipatione which had been indulged in on account of the Great Exhibition. The solution, 2, may be found in the fact that many retreated to the country, to escape usion incident to the industrial display. ave We can scarcely believe tuat the alarm created by an expression that there was the possibility of a @eturbance on the part of the red republicans and | gocialists could have induced any very large portion | ofthe population to retire from the scene. This, however, may have been the case. From France we have no new fact with regard to the p: of affairs. Political intrigues still con- | tinue to animate the political heart of Paris, but | we perceive nothing to change our opinion that the | republic will ride ou storm, without sustaining é ost important event of a Political character is the fact that the National Guard bas been placed more closely under the con- tro] of the government From Portugal we hav of the Duke de assurances of the present Janha, who has de- popularity eided to maintain the constitutional throne of Tonna Maria. The reception of the Duke at Lis- } bon had been most enthusiastic. The elecsions Spain have terminated. A large majority of the | deputies are in favor of the government By a recent rumor, it was announced that the Piedmontese government had entered into diplo- Matic relations with Rome, and that it was about to form a league with the other States of Italy he Minister of Foreign Affairs has denied the latter part of the report. This point was one of great in- terest, as Piedmont is looked upon by political Fefugees as one of the last footholds of liberty. The assurance, no doubt, will be the cause of joy to the oppressed inhabitants of the Italian States. Frova our various European journals we select gach items of intelligence as will be read with in- terest. They comprise many facts of considerable importance Whe Canals Triumphant—The Nine Million Bill Sustained. The elections held to fill vacancies in the several | Senate districts, have resulted as we advised our | Yoaders we believed they would. In every district where an issue was made, the result has been the Yeturn of a Senator who will vote for the Canal bill. It has not been a party contest, although a few pi pers and fewer political would-be leaders, have un- dertaken to make it so. It was a question under- Btood in the contested districts as one involving the canal interests in an essential degree—on the one pide, whether some $400,(400 a year should be appro- priated for canal completion, and on the otherhand that the larger sam of $3,000,000 annually should be expended in order to insure an earlier comple- tion. The latter method has prevailed by im- mente majorities, as both parties in the interested districts supported the measure, regardless of poli- tical differences. Inthe Sixteenth, ‘Twentieth, and Twenty-first districts, the successful candidates are democrats, but supported by a large majority of both parties. The only whigs elected are Hun- | tington of Oneida, Halstead of Columbia, and pro- bably Williams of Tompkins The Legislature will reconvene on the 10th day | ef June, the day designated in the Governor's pro- @lamation. The Canal bill, as it pasted the Iouse, fogether with Beekma’ amendment to the ele- Venth section, as adopted in committee of the Se: nate, will be speedily run through both houses, and | receive the of the Governor instanter Then the majority in the Legislatare will be com- pelled, according to the bargain, to appropriate $400,000 for the enlargement of the Oswego Canal, aod pass the jus Canal and the Kouse’s Poiat Bridge bills. These three measures have been resisted | Very strenuous! fore; but now, if the mem- | bers demean themselves with honor and truthful- several propositions will be secured, tothe gratification of their friends, but at the cha- grin, wrath and mortification of pe Docalities anticipating injurious results therefrom After maturing and passing the appropriation bills, and a few others of a general nature, to keep the machinery of the government well oiled until the first of January next, the Legislature should adjourn forthwith, regardless of the importunities and | whinings of the hordes of interested lobby-loafers. The question of re-dividing the State into Con- gressioual districts will be acted upon, and the division made, if any excuse can be furnished for protracting the seseion until complete returns of signature ons residing in the census are received from the State of Califor nia at the Department of the Interior at Wash- | gto Now that it has become a “fixed fact” that the Canal bill will become a law, in accordance with the forme of legislation, it remains to be seen whe | ther any further attempts will be made to resist the ‘more speedy enlargement,” as contemplated in the bill. We hear already, from certain quarters, that it is the intention of its opponents to endeavor to induce the Attorney (ieneral to resist its opera- tions, by means of an injunction, on account of cer- tain unconstitational features, which theg allege the bill contains. fr the opinion which the law officer of the State haz already furnished, it ay be assumed that he stands ready to enter his protest, and to test the constituionality of the law before the Supreme Court, and if needs be, before the Court of Appeals. We also discover in the oolamns of several of the progressive, reform, radical, ultra, free re, threatenings of repeal—repeal.

The people f their strength and power; they know the energies which they possess, and are de- termined to apply them. They see, too, that while a few miles a year, only, of the canals are being completed, private enterprise is on the wing, run- ning railroads from tide water to the inland seas— from Champlain to the Atlantic—rival roads along the Mohawk—all a'ming to compete with the ca- nals. They say that when the ‘present system for finishing was adopted, those rival routes, most of them, at least, had no existence; that then the productive West was not crowding its immense sur- plus products to the Eastern cities for a market; and that it was not even conjectared by the most sanguine, that private enterprise weuld so soon compel the State to place herself on the defensiv in order to retain the carrying trade, for which she had expended many millions in the construction of her inland water communications. They now say a revolution has taken place—that favilitées for transportation are required immediately—that in the prosperous condition of the State and nation, it will be suicidal to remain any longer inactive. There are other reasons why the canals should be soon completed. As matters now are, and as they have been during the last dozen years, they act as a mighty political lever, hoieting one party, They are engines of irresistible power, producing more cor- ruption, mere villany, and the waste of more money, than all the other means in the hands of politicians. All the managers of the canals are politicians—the Governor, Commissioners, Canal Board, engineers, superintendents, contractors, sub-contractors, scow capteims, and day laborers. Since the adoption of the present constitution, the patronage and power | of the canal interest has been immense, beyond comprekension. We have only to refer to the con- duet of officers in charge of the construction of the public works, in order te ascertain how the money squandered for private and political interests Therefore, we say an imperious necessity exists to One-third of the official foree now under pay ean then be dis- pensed with, together with the hundreds of con- | tractors, and the thousands of hangers-on, ready to perform any menial service, on or off the canals, which the party i in power constantly require. All good ¢ regarding the true interests of the | people of this State, should “ pray continually” for the completion of the State works, in order that | sed by unprin- | cipled politicians may be speedily arrested, and that important * bone of contention” be scattered to the winds at the people ponder, that righteousness may prevail. Soctat Lire ann Brsiness Amone Us.—Look- ing on every side and throughout tke metropolis, We see massive edifices, public establighments on an | extensive scale, beautiful and expensive private | dwellings, costly carriages and turn outs, invita- tions to soirées given at an expense of from ten to fifteen thousand dollars each, rich dresses and opera costumes, accompanied by diamonds and jewels of the most luxurious description, and, in faet, all the evidences of accumulated wealth on a grand scale. Broadway, at the fashionable part of the day, is thronged with pedestrian: expensively clothed, and many a lady has wealth enough, in the shape of jewels and dress upon her person, to pay the ex- penses of a family handsomely for a whole year. The equipages which rattle over the pavements are ofthe most elegant description, fitted out at a heavy cost, and magnificent {n trappings, coachmen and liveries. The jewelry, haberdashery and mil- liners’ establishments, are besieged daily by hun | dreds, who lavish their incomes largely upon them; and the whole scene, in the fashionable part of the | city, presents an European aspect of extravagance, and none of that republican simplicity which for- merly distinguished the mode of living common to our grandmothers. So, too, in the commercial por- tions of the metropolis, we findevery movement is | made on a scale of the most extensive kind. Mer- chante, who formerly were contented to live at the rate oftwo or three thousand dollars a year, now think nothing of expending ten ortwenty thousand dollars annually. Indeed, everywhere an impetus hasbeen given to the style of living which is re- markable, and which would be well, perhaps, if we could be assured that the enjoyment of #0 much luxury is soundly based, and will not lead to em- barrassments and disasters on the first shock of a convulsion. The influence of the great influx of gold from California has had much to do in bringingeabout this state of things. Probably about one hundred and fifty millions of dollars in geld have come from the mines on the Pacific side of the continent with- in three ye: This naturally has stimulated every channel of trade. Look, for instance, at its effect upon the shipping interests of the country. What sceres of activity mark every ship yard in every port, and in almost every one of our river towns which can float a vessel down to the se How vast an increase has there been int ail lofts, and in every branch ef business connected with the marine service. Then reflect upon the constant tide of passengers floating in and out of the Atlantic to the Pacific, the aggregate retarning from California enriched by their spirit of adven- ture. sprung into existence, as if by magic, hereafter to blend the hardy activity of the New Englander with the oriental ease and luxurious manners of the Asiatic—producing a kind of society on the western coast of this continent such as the world never saw, and of which it has yet scarcely dreamed—a people vigorous in war, daring and energetic in commercial enterprise, and which, at no distant day, will break the seals that conceal Japan and China, and amalgamate the Asiatic and the Saxon racos Well, this great expansion of enterprise, and of extravagance as a consequence of it, all grows out of the abundance of gold; and but for our succes in obtaining it, long been bereft of apecie, anda general flare-up would have gnewed. We should have been in the «ame oondi- tion a# we were six years ago, when an explosion would have taken place but for the famine in Ireland, which made an extraordinary demand for our bread- stuffs, and thus turned the current of specie back towards our shores. Atthe present time, it is only the resource possessed in California gold that ona- bles us to meet the otherwige inevitable result of the cotton crisis in England, which has acted alrea- dy with considerable severity upon us. Indeed, strong as we now seem, it ie not too much to say that ifthe California mines were to give out for one year, there would be one of the greatest commer- cial panics known since 1887. Promising as every- thing now appears, there are grounds for apprehon- ornia will not continue to yield stea- dily her tribute to the world. The stories from the mines are glowing, but still they are not altogether reliable in a commercial point of view. It is quite porsible that the ensuing twelve months will prove that any dependence for a regular supply of gold is out of the question. The yield must always be an uncertain one; and if we have correct information, the diggings have already been swept pretty clean by the adventurous laborers who have visited them In this state of things, we cannot anticipate any thing lees than the desire of the emigrants on the Pacific to enter the mineral regic ns of Mexico, fruit- ful both in gold and silver.

After the paymens of the first semi-annual dividend in 1850, there was a surplus in hand of ten thousand dollars. For the corresponding sis months this year, a dividend of three per,cent can b: paid, leaving a surplus m hand of twenty-five thedsand Long Island has held its own pretty well; and as soon as its traffic is free from interruption in repairing the road, the earnings will, without doubt, show sueh an inerease as to have a very favorable influence upon the market price of the stock.
