New York, Wednesday, July 2, 1851, News from Europe. ‘The steamships Hermann and Africa are fully due at this port, with one week’s later news from Europe. Summary of the Latest Intelligence. By our special telegraphic correspondence, it wil, be seen that the abolition whigs of the Logislature have been detected in an attempt to smuggle into tke Distribution bill an appropriation for an amal- gamation college in the western part of this State This is the coolest piece of impudence that the piebald faction has yet been guilty of. Quite an animated discussion took place in the are still entertained by Seward and bis confreres. Archbishop Hughes will not take the ‘ higher law” platform of Seward, but has in part made one out of another kind of “higher law” for himself, by the discourse of Sunday last. He will, doubtless, put on the remaining planks at the banquet which is to be given to him shortly—or at least when all the ten dollar tickets shall have been sold, and the necessary sum raised for the purchase of the dinner and the wines. We doubt if such a platform will be acceptable to any but his own immediate congre- gation. ‘the Catholics of the United States are liberal in their sentiments; and, no doubt, nine- tenths of them desire Roman, Italian, and European liberty generally. While they will acknowledge the supremacy of the Pope in religious matters, they w.ll discriminate between him as Pope and as a sove- reign, and between his acts and mandates in these capacities. While they will consider the one bind- ing on their consciences, they will treat the other as they would the mandates of any other temporal sovereign. We opine it will be a difficult matter for either the Pope or Archbishop Hughes to make his reactionary sentiments on political affairs popu- Jar among the Catholics of the United States. But this is an age of platforms, and why should not Archbishop Hughes have one as well as Seward, Van Buren, Buchanan, General Scott, and othe~ great meu! Gorxe to Evnore.—Every steamer #t sails for Europe tukes a large number « Passengers, among whom are many highly dis+guished in the political and social world, oF in 20 circles of litera- ture and art. The Futish wail steamer Niagara will leave to-day with a lage number of passengers. Among them. are the Conde Villeneuva, and his lady, the Cvuntess, who will visit England, en route for Span. The distinguished Conde has been the intedente ox secretary of the financial bureau of Senate on the celebrated Anti-Gambling bill. It ‘was the occasion of some harsh personal remark | between Mr. Geddes and Mr. Morgan, President | protem, which were near producing arow Verily, | this bill has given a great deal of crouble all around, and has, in addition, been the cause of a good deal of fun. It is very doubtful if it will be paseed, inany shape, during the present session. Our readers will find in our paper to-day, a full report of important speeches, recently made at Capon Springs, by the Hon. Daniel Webster, Sir Henry Bulwer, the British Minister, and Hon. Messrs. Levin and Barney. We learn by ourreport of the public dinner at which these speeches were made, that Mr. Webster's speech was received with great enthusiasm. It was an able and an ex- | cellent Union speech. Sir Henry Bulwer was | tened to with great attention, and was as witty and jocose asusual. That diplomatist bids fairto Become as popular ia the South as he is at the North. Our Washington correspondent informs us that the governmentis not in possession of any informa- tion which warrants them in believing that a gceat | fraud has been committed in the Mexican claim business. This maybe, or the claim referred to may not be the one; but there is very little doubt that many fiauds have been committed on the go- | vernmeat in that business, and the community will not be satisfied to the contrary unless a com- tee of Congress shall so declare; such com. mittee to be appointed during the next session. Ax investigation certainly can do no harm. It would appear that all of the organized band | of villains whose rascality we have heard so | much about of late, have not beenarrested. A box of powder, it seems, exploded in the depot of the Michigan Ceutral Railroad; but whether the design | was to blow up that building, or the steamboat | which conveyed it to Detroit, is not known. | m | Archbishop Hughes and Reactlon—The Areh- bishop and Seward, Greeley & Co—The | Archbishop's Piatform, | ‘The sermon or discourse which Archbishop Hughes | delivered in the Cathedral in this city,on Sunday last, and a report of which we published on the following Monday, is causing a great sensation ia this commu- nity, and in other places. The principles which it inculcates, and the views which the learned and ta- kented Archbishop takes of the existing state of things in Europe, we freely commented upon, andin | some instances condemned in a strong but kindly | manner. The Archbishop might have expected | this, for he could not e supposed that such reac- | tionary sentiments as he gave expression to on that excasion, would have met the approbation of the republican people of the United States, or even that of the republican Catholics of his own church. Of the journals in this region which have com- | mented on the Archbishop's discourse, is the Tri- dune, which at one time was, to a gre: ent, his organ; for on several occasions he used its columns for the dissemination of what he wished to say on subjects that were agitating the public mind. The | relat) hip which thus existed between the Arch- bishop and Tribune coused about eighteen months ago, in consequence, if our recollection | server, of the Archbishop having denounced the | Roman patsiots for guing the length they did in carrying into practice their i commenting on * course, t vors to show that the Archbishe the hop was a pro- of the meet- mincnt participant in the pro ing which was held in this c of congratulating aod complis on the steps which he was t blish a constitu al are very mach afraid, sistency, that th sg against bim.

He did retrace his steps as far ae he could, became a | resctioni«t, and was ob] ged to fy from Rome in | eonsequence. Archbishop Hughes has followed the | example of bis master, and, like him, has become a — reactionist ; for, while the Pope is praising the United States for the civil and religious liberty @hich exist here, he will not tolerate either one or the other in his own dominions. ) There is a remarkable point connected with the Tribune and its clique, and Archbishop, !lugaes, which is deserving of notice. At one time, Seward, Weed, Greeley & Co., and Archbishop Hughes, all belonged to the same brotherhood, and entertained similar opinions on a variety of subjects. Taey travelled the same road together for a long time; Dut at last a divergence took place between them The Seweri clique d, bat Archbishop Hughes took the “back track;” ant tho sentimeats of the latter, as he delivered them in the Cathedral on last Sunday, are entirely dissimilar to thove * be entertained two or three yoars ago; and wi | tion of the gov Mavane for many years, and has resigned his emi- nen} station, to take up his residence for a consider- | able period at the court of Madrid. He will be accompanied to Madrid by his only son, Senor C. Martinez de Pinillos y Ugarte, who has been at jagara Falls on a brief sojoura recently, and who is equally esteemed, in our fashionable circles, as his distinguished parents. Senor Armero will proceed to England, on his way to Madrid, where he has been appointed Minister of the Marine Department. He had the charge of the naval department at Cuba, during the lateperiod of expeditions, when he captured the party at Wo. man’s Island, and rendered other efficient service in the protection of the island, by his skill in marine tactics. Senor Par¢jo and party, and General Ga- rillo, will also form an addition to the distinguished Spanich personages who are going in the Niagara. Colonel Belford Hilton Wilson and family, have secured berths, also, in the Niagara. Col. Wilson is the Chargé of her British Majeety for Venezuela, and has been quite prominent there, for his activity and usefulness, for a considerable time past. Mr. Thomas Barry, also, will go out to Eagland, today, as bearer of despatches, and to ef- t engagements for the next season at the Brondway Theatre. 0 man, in the distinguished profession of which he is an ornament, has more friends than this highly intelligent, educated and accomplished gentleman—friends gained by an unvarying coarse of liberal and ealightened man- agement, and by an assiduous atcention to the high- er demands of the noble dramatic art. Mr. Barry's fame in Eurcpe will need no editorial visé to make his passport into any kingdom of the world of art all that he can desire towards facilitating his pre. gress. FinaLe oF T We gave, yesterday, in our account of the criminal proceedings of Kings county, Long Island, a full report of the indictments for grand larceny, alias robbery, which have been found against George Wilkes, A. M. C. Smith, and their confederates, for entering unlawfully the house of Samuel Drury, about two years since, and taking away certain jewelry and other property, to the value of two or three thousand dollars. This strange turn to the stool-pigeon operations, | affecti munity, bas startled the public as mach as the first torpedo explosion did. Wilkes, one of the chiefs of the band, is in France or England at this time; but if he be not forthcoming in the course of the proceedings, he wil) be brought back by a requisition on the French or B tie neighborhood, and gave bail for their appearance at the December term of the court. The trial will be one of the most interesting in the whole catego- ry of investigations, civil or criminal, which have been caused by the stool-pigeon proceedings in this neighborhood, for the last two years. It seems, however, that these indictments for robbery are not the only evidence of reaction. We understand that half a dozen or more of other in- dictments are being prepared, here and elsewhere, against the printers, reporters and managers of the Police Gazette, ae it is now conducted, and as it has Jucted for two years past. ‘The nominal g in Europe, beyond the elutehes of the been ¢ editor b g the administration of justice in this com- | sh government, under the extradition trea- | The other personages reside in this city and | | end in the lobbies. law, his various eubstitates, in the shape of printers, | pr , and reporters, will be taken before several grand juries, and a freech batch of indict- mente will most likely be found against them The reaction among the stool-pigeon people bas m vith fearfal vengean an come on Ts A an Fiag—Tue Rout or Srancu.—It appears that an American schooner, the F is, Captain son, was recently searched by a Spanish war steamer, the Cc ssio, under the sus 9, we suppore, of her being in the ser Cuban expeditionists, or fillibusteros: matter which de ds the act at Washing ate anything of t believe, however, that the ment et on American people will thie kind.

OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAFHIC CORRESPONDENCE. Away, July 1—7 P.M. IMPUDENT TRICK OF THE ABO! ON WHIGS—THE | ANTI-GAMULING BILL—FLARE-UP IN THE SENATE, | ETC Nearly the entire morning session of the House was occupied in discussing the amendment proposed yester- | day, by Mr. Robinson—a democratic member from | Dutchess county—to the Academy Appropriation bill, | distrituting the income of the United States deposite | fund to common schools, instead of to incorporated academies, The debate took a very extended range. em- bracing the policy of distributing such exorbitant sums to colleges and academies, and such small sams, in ccmparison, to the common schools, culled the “people's colleges.” ‘There is an institution in the county of Cortland, called the New York Central College, the friends of which maneged, through Mr. Burroughs, to get ineerted in ‘he bill an appropriation of $2,560. Upon | investigating the character of that concern, it was fuund | to be one which fostered white and black amalgamation, | that cne of its professors was a negro, black ss Sam | Ward, and that white and black maleand female child" | ren and youths are intermixed, and study and discipline | together, without regard to races. When this fact be- | came known. portion of the licuse determined to strike | cut that appropriation, contending that it was an amal- | gamation sehocl. It had for its object the blending of | the races, to abolish distinction in color, and to place | the negroes upon an equality with the whites, These and other similar positions were maintained with much spirit and animation by Messrs. Varnum, A. A. Thompson, Ferris, and others, Equally veheinent were the abolitiv iste in contending for this checquered school. Both sides uttered threate—on the one side that the entire academy appropriation should fall if the Cortland academy was stricken oul, and the opposite side declaring that the bill should not pass if retained. Piaally, under a a pressure of the previous question, a vote was taken upon Mr. Robinson's motion, and it was carried, which transferred the fund from all the academies to the com- mon rehools. Here was # fluttering, buzzing, bustling, agitation. mortification, and so on, among the members The vote, being an emphatic one, produced much ecnsternation among the inside and ow! side wire workers, Who bad flattered themselves with re- erivirg @ large sum for that amalgamation acsdemy Unless rome compromise is ¢fleeted, no bill will be passed in wpy shape. ‘The famous Gamblirg bill came up in the Senate this morning.

The House adjourned yesterday pending a motion to amend the College Appropriaticn bill, by striking out the first section and inserting a substitute therefor, on motion of Mr. Robertson. Mr. A A.

In alluding, on that occasion, to Dr. Elder's certificate, we did not wish it to be understood that the dector made any false certifieate knowingly, Dut that he gave the certificate in good faith, believing he was qualified so todo.
