We learn from Washington that President Fill” more bas reached the eapital, from Virginia, where he spent a few days. Ife was received at Freder- icksburg, it appears, with great enthusiasm. A public dinner was given to him, at which he Secretary Stuart made strong Union speeches, with the thermometer at 96°. We shall publish a full report of these speeches and th» proceedings at the dinner, as soon a3 they come to hand by mail. It will also be seen by our telegraph reports that @ murder has been committed in Boston by a hus- band upon his wife, who, it appears, was the mother ‘ef four children. The murderer was arreste 1. It appears that the difficulties between the work- men and the commandant of the Gosport Navy Yard have been adjusted, through the interference of the Secretary of the Navy; and the employées will return to their work to-day. The Polltical Future of France and of the United States. At the present time, the two most important re- publics of the world—France and the United States | —offer points of a political character which have much similarity. France is engaged in an agita- tion about the revision of her republican constitu- tion, with direct roference to the question of her next President. The United States have a similar struggle going on. The question that is prelimi- mary to the one connected with our next President, is with reepect to a virtual revision of the co: us tion, on the compromise compact of 1737, and its iteration in the Fugitive Slave bill of the last ses- sion of Congress. In France, at least five parties, distinctly organizd, are in the struggle to bend the | future into a shape suited to the wishes of each frs- tion. There are the Orleanists, the Bourbons, the Amperialists, and the two bodies of moderate aad of ved republicans. fhe rest, and coalitions and consolidations are pro. posed, that the weak parties may be made weaker and be overthrown. Precisely such is the character of parties in this country—of which, at the North, ‘we number five; and, at the South, two more. ‘We have the hunker democrats, the hunker whigs, the free soil democrats, the free soil whigs, and the abolitionists proper and improper, all in a lump, in the free States. In the Southern States are the secessionists and the Unionists—thus completing the seven primary colors of all our poli:ical light. Now, in the elements of all these contending fac- tions, both in France and in the United States, are the sources of a vast amount of exaggeration and eonfusion—the inevitable result of the action of the many without any unity. The English journals affect to have serious apprehensions of the future of France, because there are so many factions in the eontest. It is strange that their grave anticipatioas are not excited by our own condition; for we are threatened with a disrolution of the Union, and all the horrors of civil war, as-much as are the French people. The truth, howev that aly ‘the political excitement in both republics is but the exhibition of the natural raw material from which elective governments obtain their chief magistrate The party of tha majority ig the peace party—the conservative party, which, in the hour of danger, will be true to the instincts of liberty, as defined by the constitution, aml will run the bound) by which thé Yuture ie to be circumscribed. ‘There is little danger that the effervescence of all the commingling political elements will cause any- thing like a serious explosion.

The case of Stephen Walsh, claimed as a fugi- tive by the British Minister, Sir Henry Bulwer, and the British Consul, Mr. Barclay, will be decided to- day. It has produced quite an exeitement among the Irish population, and, indeed, all classes, and will cause still more. Nothing was known of its occurrence till the report in the Heald of yesterday. A notice has been given for a public meeting of Lrishinen this morning, to consider the case. Walsh, we learn, is without legal counsel; but we pre- sume he will not be when the cage comes up to-day. | We hope he will have legal assistance, and, if una- ble to fee a lawyer, the Commissioner, it seems to us, should assign him one, to be chosen by him. He has been kept, we understand, by the United States Marshal, in custody, since being remanded on Saturday. This case has occasioned some reflections, which, in our judgment, are worthy of being noted. ‘When a fugitive negro slave from the Sou:hern States is arrested, battalions of lawyers promptly volunteer to aid him to escape. The provisions of the constitutional compact between the States is sought *» be nullified for the runaway slave, and acts of Congress, requiring his surrender, are as- sailed as unconstitutional, and every pretext re- sorted to in order to get him clear. Now, here is the case of a poor white man, not, it is true, of the vaunted Anglo-Saxon race, but of Celtic origin—a native of Erin’s green isle. He was probably forced to enter the British army by that despotic poverty which English oppression makes the lot of every Irishman who is not ‘born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” Breathing American air, his soul ewelled with the holy aspi- rations of freedom, and he has cast aside the claims of British military slavery. Sir Henry Bulwer and a | Mr. Barelay demand that he shall be surrendered, under the Ashburton treaty. What is to be done with him? Though it is in time of peace, the fre- quent desertions from the British army in Canada, the British government think, demand an example, Poor Walsh myst be handed over to the tender mercies of British army officers, incensed against him, and be dealt with by military law, forthe crime of desertion. Where are the anti-fugitive slave law sympathizers? Their philanthropy, like Bob Acre’s courage, it seems, ‘thas all oozed out at their fingers’ ends.” The defendant hag, as yet, no coun- rel—no aid is tendered to him—no sympathy is ex- cited in his bebalf by the ‘friends of human rights,” as they cali themselves; but he may be d agged back in chains, to undergo the punishment which the British army officers may decree shall be inflieted upon him, without one word being lisped in his behalf by the negro philanthropists. Away with such rank hypocrisy. We say the real offence of Walsh—disguise it as the British authori:ies may—the offence for which they are anxious to get him back for trial, is that of desertion, and desertion only. The charge of “robbery,” now for the first time” presented, is sup ported only by the oath of Lance Corporal Richard Douse, of the Ninety-seventh Regiment of Foot, who says: “So far as I know, Walsh took my keys and knife with him; I made ageneral search, and could not find them; the knife was valued at a dollar, | | | } case of Jonathan and the keys about five shillings sterling.” This accusation is all mere pretence. It is a charge trumped up, whereupon to manufacture a demand under the treaty. Itis ealleda “robbery” of the “knife” and “keys.” What could Walsh want with them? What use were the keys to him? The story is ridiculous upon its face. Has any indict. ment been found against Walsh by a Grand Jury cf New Brunswick, sanctioning this charge? No! It is all founded upon the oath of a “lance corporal” of the British army, swearing, ‘“‘as far ashe knows,” to a very ridiculous story! The very terms of his testimony show the accusation is a mere pretext. Nohonest and intelligent jury on God's earth, we are satisfied, would find Walsh guilty on such va- grant evidence, if the witness was free of suspicion of being under military duress in giving it, and en- titled to the highest credit. No British jary could be packed, even in England, that would dv h- The object is to get him back, to punish him for de- sert This man Walsh has; it is said, enlisted as a soldier in the United States army, and taken the oath to be true to the constitution and laws of his adopted country. ‘The American flag will be di honored if he is yielded up, unless the treaty stipu- lations imperatively demand it. We would not violate one letter of a treaty, but would fulfil its obligations with fidelity. But no frauds should be committed on the treaty by British authorities; and the attempt to prostitute the treaty, and pervert it, should be repelled and scouted with indignant scorn, ‘The history of this country Proves that this case is one that should be solemnly and gravely d>tor- mined. The people will not be satiatied unless it is. They will review what may be done, with jealous watchfulness. The old men of the present day remember the bins or Nash. They remem- ber the conduct of the British aaval officers prior to the war of 1812, in arresting, under the pretence of being de-erters, and in impressing our citizens from our ships. They remember the attack of the Leopard on the Chesapeake. Oveurrences have taken place tinse, that have not aided to allay the feelings then excited. The attempt to arrest this Irishman is most injudicious, as tending to lay the foundation of differences between the two countries. may be | We should not be surprised if it is the beginning of | serious troubles. . | No man in this country who reads Douse’s evi- dence, but will be satisfied that the attempt to arrest Walsh for robbery of his knife and keys, is an at- tempt to perpetrate a gross fraud upon the treaty, and to distort and pervert the real offence—dJeser- tior ed by the treaty.

We could not permit the discourse to be confined to the few to whom it was addressed, for the public were exceedingly anxious to know what the Archbishop had to eay about bis journey, his interviews with his Holiness the Pepe, the ceremonies of Holy Week, and matters and things in general. We, therefore, had it re- ported for the edification of the public at large, their careful perusal. His Grace looks 1emarkably well.

All our ordinary theatres, and even the German theatre, are well supported; but the “grand Italian Opera,” at fifty cents for the price of admission, cannot stimulate that public , who have paid six and ten times as much to hear an aria, or two, or the ballads sung with introduc- | ed embellishments and foriture, contrary to the taste of the best authorities in vocal music. The | public are, evidently, only caught by novelty.— | Even Malabran and Jenny Lind turned out but no velties, run after for a while. It is the person that — attracts, and that only for a while; not the art | itself. Hence, no manager can be safe in re-) taining vocalists, however popular they may | be, for more than a brief period. The edge j of novelty, once taken away, public in- | difference chills the hopes alike of managers | and performers. The consequence of all this will be | that we shall not, for some time yet, have the Opera as a permanent institution in New York. We must Gepend upon occasional seasone, and the brief visits of great vocalists from Europe can only be expect- | ed. The probability 18, that Crioi, Mario, T.a- | blache, ard the like, would do well here for two | months; but there is no talent in the world that | can make a profitable permanent residence in this | country. | Next season these truths will be illustrated clearly by facts. Maretzek will not attempt, we presumey | to hold the Opera together im the city, and we shall | have to take the great vocalists who visit us, with- | out those accessories, in the lesser performers and | in the chorus, which make the opera acceptable. There will be plenty of individual ambition and | exertion; but we shall not see the performances so | fully and satisfactorily executed as at present. Oo- casionally we may have some great singer from Hlavapa, when such a one can be spared for a few weeks. Mr. Lumley, of the London and Paris Opera, will be the manager at Havana, and he may | permit us to hear, sometimes, a few of the great | Luropean vocalists, who, however, will have much | to do to rival the triumphs of our late favorites. Catharine Hayes will be here in the autumn; but in spite of attempts to create an enthusiasm, her visits to the various cities must be made brief, to be made successful. All the stady of the press to unfold the beauties of the musical art, and to designate the ex- cellences of artists, cannot cope with the indiffe- rence of musical cireles—and it is idle to attempt to create a taste which seems to recede faster than it advances. If such musical ‘entertainments as Maretzek gives at Castle Garden, for fifty cents, cannot be appreciated, it is a piece of injustice to him and tO Dis Company, to lean towards the rago for and make voluminous reports upon persane never seen or heard, that the public, for | an inferior performance, may be led to pay large sums for admission at afuture day. There must | be a limit some where to speculations on the curio- sity ofthe public—and in justice to those who are established among us, we must do something to cheek the tendency towards ruining what little unvifteattaste the city now possesses. ws Ormions on THE Pennsyivania NoMINATION OF Grvxerat Scorr.—The romination of Gen.
