Bese. s Sues Henap Summary of the News. We learn from Washington that despatches have | been received by the government from Commodore Parker, who was despatched to Cuba to inquire imte all the circumstances connected with the cap- ‘are and execution of the fifty American prisoners by the Spanish authorities in Havana, in which he states that the Captain General of Cuba declined te receive him in the capacity in waich he was sent by eur government. We further learn that the Captain General's demeanor, when Commodore Parker presented his credentials, was courteous and friendiy, but that Commodore Parker was referred to Madrid. General Concha is only a subordinate, eeting under the rules establishad by a higher euthority. The United States government already had a consul at Havana, and at other places in @uba, and these ave the highest functionaries that the United States have been in the habit of send- ing to Cuba, and the highest, probably, that the Captain General could receive. We place before our readers the letter of Mr. ‘wen, American Consul in Havana, in which that wentlemen excuces himself for using no exertions to wave the fifty Americans who were executed, or even to have an interview with them. The free soilers of Ohio, held a convention at Cleveland, yesterday. Cassius M. Clay made a speech, and seems to have inspired them with great enthusiasm. ‘There appears to be no doubt in the minds of the ‘Various learned legal gentlemen at Lancaster, but that the participants in the late riot and murder ‘will be indicted for high treason. The examination ef the prisoners was continued yesterday, and will Probably last for two or three days longer. We are this morning enabled to furnish a few additiocal particulars respecting the very destruc- tive fire in the timber lands of Maine. This is wrebably the largest conflagration that has oc- @urred east of the Allegheny mountains since the settlement of the country by the whites. The whole country is said to be in » blaze, and the in- Babitants inthe vicinity are using every exertion to protect their homes and household chattels. ‘Their timber, crops, and fences, and much of their Btock, have already perished. It is a pity that they ave not with them a detachment of our New York Sremen, with their machines. We opine that they ‘would soon compel the flames to take a back track, @r else disappear al:ogether. Under our telegraphic head will be found an ac- @eunt of two more awful railroad accidents, by which many persons Were either killed or shock- Sng)y crippled. When will conductors and en- gincers, in charge of cars laden with buman life, Dearn to be careful! A railroad convention isto be held in Philadel- | phia to-day, for the purpose of devising means to @onstruct the Sunbury and Erie Railroad. Not- Withetanding certain kinds of railroad stock is rather below par in this city, it is astonishing to see the excitement there is threughout the country in reference to thie kind of improvement. The peo- Ble of New Orleans and St. Louis are about to hold ‘B® meeting with the view of projecting a road from one city to the other—the inhabitants of Pitteburg, Cimeipnati, and other parts of Obio, are moving for mew roads in every direction, and the Canadians are wild with excitement on the same subject. Whi Shese roads will be of great value to the immodiate vieinity from whence they start, they willalso prove immensely advantageous tojNew Y ork, for this city fe the great focus at which they all aim. If the railroad epirit continues to increase as it has for the Jast few years, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Quebec, and various other places of note will soon become, what Philade)pbia and Boston now are, mere way stations ‘on the route to New York ‘The people of Brockville, Upper Canada, appear to be somewhat mortified because they cannot get Up ae great a fair ar the one at Rochester.

The san ‘ef $35,000 was, last evening, appropriated by the Board of Aldermen for the purpose of re-building the Evex market. ‘This will be an improvement whieh bas long been needed. In the course of the stésion of the Board, Alderman Sturtevant made some very judicious remarke with regard to the | @orperation advertising The worthy Alderman eontended that it was far preferable to advertise ia ene or twe papers, with extensive Ciceulations, and whieh were read by almost everybody, than in four papers that were rarely seen beyond the office of pud- Keation.

They will repay an attentive reading. It was anticipated that the late reckless invasion of Lopez, the disastrous consequences attending | and succeeding it, and the momestous questions of an international character involved, would create a | Sensation in Europe. However grave and porplex- ing the affairs of the British islands, or of the con- tinental powers, the foray of Lopez—suspected of covering some ulterior design ef annexation to the United States—was an affair of an import too start_ | ling to escape the loyal indignation of our trans. | atlantic neighbors. We were quite prepared, there- fore, for the lugubrious commentaries of the Eng- | lish journals received by the late steamers, and for their badly confersed apprehensions of the progres sive tendencies of this country in the enlargement of its boundaries. All their carping and forced constructions of bad faith against the American people, however, may be overlooked when | such am unbounded respect for the government of the United States is avowed, that when it | ceases to be capable of sustaining itself, it must | be sustained by the intervention of England and France. In this declaration, President Fill- | more bas a guarantee of protection sgainst the filtbusteros axd their sympathizers, which will certainly secure his administration, hereafter, from | the discomforts of all marauding expeditions, of | any kind, against the island of Cuba. ~ But this suggestion of the London Times, coun- selling the interposition of England and France to | aid this government in vindicating its neutrality, though extremely absurd and amusing, is entitled to be considered with the gravity with which it has been advanced. It was uttered when the termina- tion of the revolutionary movement upon Cuba was yet unknown in Englard, and probably in anticipy tion of formidable reinforcemeats to Lopez from the United States, and the consequent probabilities of | @ fierce and doubtful struggle. In view of such con- tingencies, the recommendation of English and French aid to this government must have been se- riously intended for good advice. We are satisfied, indeed, from our last European exchanges, that such would have been the policy of the government of France, and, most probably, of England, had Lopez made and maintained anything like a dangerous footing to the sovereign ‘y of the island. Taechain of immediate consequences would then have been most comprehensive and momentous in their electri cal reaction. No doubt, had Lopez excited a for midable insurrection, re-in‘orcements by thousands would have reached him, or attempted to reach him, {tm our shores. It is difficult to imagine how, with such a staté of things existing, and with a com- bined Spanish, English, and French protective squadren round the island —how all collisions could be avoided, calculated to embroil all parties in the war. The popular opinion of this country—so lightly esteemed and £0 little understoed in Europe —would not permit our government to acquiesce in the aid of foreign powers, in detaining, capturing, or destroying American citizens and their property on the high seas, from mere suspicion of their de- signs. Briefly, it is perhaps well for our peace with England and France—the best for them and for the peace of Eurepe—that this experimental invasion of Lopez_was so speedily extinguished. The sammary execution of the fifty prisoners at Havana—but particularly the mutilation inflicted by the rabble of the city upon their lifeless re- mains—had excited just that state of feeling throughout this Unicn which only required a con- tinued active hostile position in the island of Cuba, to be maintained by Lopez a month, to secure him reinforcements by thousands. A late article in the London Chronicle takes the proper view of the effect of the summary execution of Crittenden and his command, upon the popular mind of this country. It was inflamed to & truly dangerous pitch of excitement, and the immediate steps taken for veao- geance, were sufficiently alarming to justify the impression of the immediate seizure of the island by a@ single blow. But the subsequent acts of clemency and kindness of the Captain General to the remaining prisoners, and the information that he was forced into the execution of those fifty, at | Havana, by an over-ruling military tribunal, have done much to appease the public indignation. Al- | together, he has proved that he is not only a man of | Promptness and efficiency, but of intelligence, | sagacity, and humanity. The alarm—the panic created at Havana by the invasion of Lopez—the popular phrenzy against the first detachment of prisoners brought in—the fact that they were out- lawed by the President, and that the Captain General bad nothing to do with the atrocities of the rabble, must be taken into consideration before | condemning this sammary judgment ef the island executive. At all events, he may congratulate himeelf and his sovereign that affairs have turned | out no worse; and that by the judicious policy of humanity which he has subsequently enforced, he | has done much to secure the future peace of the | | colony entrusted to his keeping. With regard to the maintenance of the neutrality | of the United Stater, the least interference of for- | eign squadrons for that object the better, for an accidental cellision might result ins general war. But the affair is over, and the squadrons of England and France may move about in peace. The Presidential Campaign—Call for a De- | moeratic National Convention—Jas. K. Paulding’s Secession Letter. We publish this morning, another curious deme- cratic document. It purports to be a proclamation appointing the time and place for the meeting of the Democratic National Convention—to-wit, the first Monday in June, and in the city of Baltimore. It is attested by a certificate from Mr. Secretary | Sanborn, in bebalf of the National Demooratic | Committee. According to the state: of Mr. | Sanborn, this decision has been precipitated by the publication of the lionaldson correspondence, and # the result of a recommendation from Mr. W. F. Ritchie, the Virginia ber of the National Ex- ecutive Committee. Whether this is or is not a | device to cover up the Donaldson correspondence, the democracy themselves must determine. It | | strikes us, however, that the National Committee ought not to hare come to any definite action in the absence of Mr. C. H. Donaldson, cf Texas, and | | Mr. Nathaniel H. Greer, of lowa, both these gen- | tlemen having gone home in considerable disgust. But if, (a but and an if)—but if this call be a bona fde call, we must commend the tact and sagaeity | of Mr. Secretary Sanborn, | York Herald as the best m | and universal circulation; if it be not genuine, Mr. Sanborn had better, perhaps, try again. In the meantime, something ought to be done in ferretting | out the mystery ofthe theft from Mr. Greer's carpet bag, by which a most beautiful free soil projet ferthe | campaign was exploded, and ® good mary othor in- teresting democratic notions were brought to light. The idea of inveigling Joshua R. (sidings into the support of General Sam Houston was certainly | a bold push for free soil patronage, ani very bh | caloulated to shock the sensibilities of Tammany Hall. The authenticity of these letters ir, however, established. We give the call for the National Convention, for what it isworth. It t least, furnish a asefal hint to the democrats in Congross | for their action; for we doubt not that the fret six months of the approaching session will be takin | up by both parties in arrangements, plots, plans, | schemes, intrigues, bargains, and platforms forthe | Presidency. | We published, the other day, the secession letter of James K. Paulding, of thie State, to the Southern | Highte Association of Charleeton, South Carolina, | ip reply to am invitation to attend a Seal mi rR im that city. it jem curious production jo come from s New, York member of Martin Van Buren’s cabinet. “the Northern man with Southern ” to & Very astonishing ex- tent. Ought not baraburners to be stirring their stumps? ‘the Prince? What has he been about, that Mr. Paulding is thus permitted to dive headlong into the dismal swamp of secession ! Look at it. Does net this letter raise the question, ¢0 imstanti, im the wind? It may not be surprising to the Southern Rights Assdcis:ion of | Charleston, nor tetbe editors of the Charleston Mer- cury and the Southern Press, by whom this procla- | mation of Mr, Paulding is highly commended ; for, | if we mistakenot, Mr. P. was, for some time past’ a contributorto the latter journal, in the character of a Northern man with Southern principles. But this letter will surprise barnburners, from Kinder- hook to St. Louis, andmay possibly play the very deuce with their calculations. Mr. Paulding, it will be recollected, is a literary gentleman of strong political aspirations. He is the author of “ Salmagundi” and ‘‘ Nimrod Wild- fire ;” and was Martin Van Buren’s Soeretary of the Nary. According to the editor ofthe Washing- ton Union, when President Van Buren took his pil” grimage to Tennessee and the Hermitage, accom- panied by Secretary Paulding, the noisy enthusiasm ofthe ‘unterrified democracy ” the honorable Secretary the fidgets to such a degree as to make him uncomfortable to all concerned. Says the Union:— In the town of Gallatin, Tennessee, the county seat of Summer, and the head-quarters of the State democracy, the people bad assembled in numbers to honor the President, for whom they had voted and intended to vote again. As was natural om such an occasion, the streets and public houses displayed the animation and bustle in- Reap oa = Es is common ox tach occasions, the wight did nse inter: rupt, until a very late hour, the stir of the eccasion. Mr, Paulding could not stand such proceedings. He became coramit furicusly mad. A ittee wan soon summoned to stow | bim away, where it was his slumbers would not be interrupted. But it wasallin vain. The next morning he wes conducted to the breakfast table, and. when feated, scme unskiiful member of the committee, who had occupied the sleeping room adjoining his. asked him how he had epert the night. The reply, prompt and wither- ing, was, “Terribly. horribly, culrageously, sir: some devils, in the adjoining room, seem to have been ap ited specially to annoy me, and to digguet me with jemecratic hoepitalities.” Tt’ was in vais to explain. Mr Paulding was unappeasable. He left Tenressee in a | bad humor, and ly at aloes to know by what sort | of magic it was thet Mr. Van Buren contrived to admi- nister the government with such an eccentric and ill-hu- mored Secretary. | Major Donelson—not C. H. Donaldson, of Tex- as—eupposes that, ineome such fi; as this, Mr. Paulding must have written this South Caro- lina letter; but we apprehend it is the cool | Product of deliberate calculation. It is a bid for | the chances of the Presidency. If the State rights | party of the South, including South Carolina, should recede frem secession, and combine for an independent ticket for the Presidency, it will no | doubt be good ‘policy to have a Northern man the first or second on the ticket. Things may come to that—no telling. One thing is conclusive—what- | ever may come to pass, Mr. Paulding has put in | the strongest bid for the support of the Southern ultras. The doctrine of General Cass, of non-inter- vention—the doctrine of Mr. Buchanan, ef the line of 36-30—the liberal views of Judge Douglas upon the cotton crop, in his late agricultural oration a! Rochester, are all completely cut under by the bil | of Mr. Paulding, in setting forth and recommend- | ing the doctrines of sesession, pronounced to be or- | thodox by the leading secession organs of South | Carolina and Washington. | What effect this extraordinary letter is to have | upon the harmonious democracy of the State, is the next consideration. The political relations between | the Van Burens and Mr. Paulding can hardly be | the same as on the occasion of the Tennessee pil- | grimage ; nor is there much affinity between the | Puffalo platform and the South Carolina project of | secession. The barnburners and the bunkers have | nominally agreed to coalesce at Syracuse; but the | tide and the current appearto be against them. The plan of the coalition, to many of the oldest of the old bunkers, is not satisfactory. It no more | tuits them than the whig platform suits the Castle Garden Union Safety Committee. We suspect | there is a screw loose in Tammany Hall, and that it will require all the tact and talents of Prince John and the Post to keep the machinery in work- ing order. The letter of Mr. Paulding must exert some influence over the bunkers, while the existing defection in the ranks is quite enough for present discouragement. In a word, we see no prospect for | ® bermonious mingling of the democracy in an- | other National Convention, whetever may be the | time and place appointed—very little prospect for | John Van Buren or for Mr. Paulding. Let us wait | and see. ‘The Protestant Episcopal Convention—Elec- tion of a Provisional Bishop. ‘The annual Convention of she Protestant Episeo- | pal charch of the Diocess of New York, commenced its cession in St. John’s Chapel, yesterday, and a | report of the first day's proceedings will be found | in another column of today’s Henan The most important business befcre the convention is the | ¢lection of a Provisional Bishop, io take the place o Bishop Onderdonk, and twelve o'clock today, is the time appeinted for the ballotting to commence. For several years past, the proceedings of these diocesan conventions have been of a very important character, in consequence of the anomalous and un- ° precedented position of the church in this State, in | Inco having no recognized head, or bishop. Ever since | the suspension cf Bishop Onderdonk for an in- | definite period of time, the affairs of the church have been loose, and in such a state as to create | | great dissatisfaction. ‘This state of things is about to | 4,2” beremedied. The convention which met yesterday, will be called upon to elect from among the clergy | & Provisional Bishop, in pursuance of authority for that purpote, given by the Council of Bishops at their last triennial meeting. The struggle may be bitter, the rivalries and bad feeling which have existed for many years past between the high and the low church partics, may be revived, and a con- flict occur which will leave many a sting behind. Of course, thie should not be; but it is a melan- choly fact that churchmen, on such occasions, are as noisy, as excited, and sometimes as tur- bulent, as political delegates sent to Syracuse or Utica for the nomination of candidates to be fapported by the respective parties at our elections. The scenes which took place in the dieceran convention during the debates con- cerning Bishop Onderdonk's salary of twenty- five hundred dollars a year, during his suspension, were anything but creditable to the convention, or to the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States. They were characterized by an acrimony, & harshness, and an ill temper, totally at variance with what we ought to expect from ministers | of the gorpel, or members of the church. We do hope that the proceedings of the conven- tion will be of an orderly, calm and christian. | like character, and that, no matter who may be | elected by the majority as Provirional Bishop of the dioceses of New York, the minority will make no complainte—that they will iseue no protests or pro nunciamentos; but that they will cheerfully recog- nise him as their bead, according to the canons of the church. Among the candidates of the high church party, we have heard the Rev J. H. Prive, D.D., mentioned; ard a strong effort wi!l be made to elect him. We bave heard other candidates med—among them the Rev. Dr. Creighton ; we abetain from mentioning them al! probably Will be able to give the name of the successful | candidate to-morrow. | abolition delegates would endeavor to bei before the convention the petition of some colored churches for admission into communion with the convention; but it is to be wished thet it will be allowed to lie on the table, where it was, ° placed rome three or four yeara since will be seen by our report Alrea Mr. Jobn Jay, wh | past yoare hav been the first to move in thie matter, |. end who has, singularly enough, bern counsel for + visional Bishop—keep your tempers—and then goto your reepective homes. Fatwer Matutw Rervanine Home.—Our readers will find in another part of our columns, to- day, an admirable and very characteristic letter from the Hon. Henry Clay to the Hon. Henry Grinnell, of this city, invoking his aid in raising & subscription for Father Mathew, the Apostle of Temperance, before he leaves this country, in order ; torelieve him from the pecuniary responsibilities which he incurred in promoting the cause of tem- perance in Ireland. These responsibilities amount toa considerable sum; and unless he receives as- sistance, the reverend temperance advocate is in danger of spending the few remaining years of his life in penury and suffering. He has administered the pledge to five hundred thousand persons in the United States since his arrival; and shall we not demonstrate our appreciation of his valuable ser- vices, and o’ the benefits which he has conferred ou our country, in some substantial way? He is nota man to ask for it; but we are peculiarly the people who should not let him depart frem our shores with- out the means of not only paying off all his indebt ness, but of having eufficient to live upon after wards. The most prominent men in the country have taken this movement in hand, and we hope it will be car ried out successfully. The Annual Convention of the Protestant Spliscopal Church. DIOCESS OF NEW YORK—FIRST DAY. The usual exercises preparatory to the organization of this body were held yesterday morning at St. John’s chapel. The prayers and lessons of the day were read by the Rev. Mesers, Boon, of Rye, and Shipman, of Astoria. ‘The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr, Noble, of Catskill, from John xviii , 36, (the answer of our Lord to | Pilate) The preacher instituted a comparison between the kingdom of Christ, and those of this world, and dis- cussed the nature of Christ’s kingdom. He eloquently depicted the folly of being guided by human expediency or worldly polity in the management of that epiritual Kingdom. He tcok the ground that from its very nature what would be wise and effective in temporal affairs, might prove totally inefficient in the church of God. He farther argued the necessity of stringently avoiding every tendency toward mere human polity, from its weak- ness, and finally its wickedness, concluding with an im- pressive appeal to his brethren of the clergy, to depend solely upon spiritual weapons, as the only legitimate means of suecess. After the sermen the holy communion was adminis. teved, the Rev. Drs. Berrien, Wainwright, M’Vickar and Haight officiating. In the absence of the Bishop the convention was called | to order, at balf-past one o'clock, by the Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Haight, and the senior presbyter present, The Rev. Dr. Berrien took the chair, pursuant to the fifth rule of order. The roll of the clergy was then called, and & quorum found present. Governcr Bradish and Mr. Harrison were appointed a committee to examine certificates as presented. The roll 0! the lay delegates | was alto called, and their certificates presented. On ex- sinipation it was found that four of them were defective, providing more than the constitutional number of dele- gates, and they were, accordingly, recalled. On motion of Dr. Tavior, the Rev. Dr. Creighton, of Tarrytown, was unanimously elected President. The President elect ba taken the chair, tendered his acknowledgments of the honor ,in s brief and neat The Rev.

HER SECOND CONCERT AT TRIPLER MALL. Catherine Hayes to-night will give her second concert ‘at Tripler Hall, arsisted by the same artiste who appeared at the first entertainment, and, also, by Miska Hauser, | the most distinguished sol violinist in the country This second eoxcert is likely to attract a large number of the Dest musical judges in the city, as well as thousands of lovers of music.

Every student in musieal history knows the reason. MOVEMENTS OF CATHERINE HAYES. Yesterday Miss Hayes received a large number of calls fom friends, who visited her for the purpose of congra- tulating her on her perfect success on Tuesday evening. Among those who called, were the members of President Fillmore’s family, All who converse with Miss Hayes, speak in high terms of her conversational powers ; she is ever cheerful and rgady, has an excellent manner, chooses her words well, and without any apparent effort constructs her rentences in such @ manner that they could not be improved, When she converses on topics of interest her countenance lights up, and her auima- rest, and converses with an ingenuousness that is equally charming and commendable; she possseres another social virtue of great value, but cne which is too often despised :—she is @ polite listener, and never ap- pears anxious for the end of the sentence which ia being Addrersed to her; in short, Miss Hayes displays in the scevial circle all those qualities which adorn a highly educated Irish lady; and it has become a trite saying that ‘am Irish lady’ is the most lndylike of her se. = Mrs, Fillmore is delighted with Miss II, and the mem jers ef her family to whom she has been introduced.
