Summary of the Latest Intellige: The mails by the steamship Cambria were re- ecived in this city last evening, and the details of the news will be found in our columns. By this arrival, we learn a great deal concerning the movements of Kossuth, the great Hungarian hero, and of the demonstrations in his favor in diferent parts of England. Notwithstanding the brilliant receptions tendered to him, we perceive the London Times, and other journals supposed to be conmected with the government, continue to assail him. It is difficult to believe that this eourse is pursued by these papers of their own vo jlition. We rather think the British government are afraid of Kossuth, notwithstanding his ada- fat/ore of constitutional monarchy, and have some band in this business. They doubtless know that if the principles of the Hungarian revolution, during the latter part of it, were to eucceed in Eurcpe, Engiand herself would go by the board, | as well as Austria. Tho British, it appear, are at their old game of plunder in India. According to the accounts re- ceived by this arrival, they are about to seize a portion of the territory of the Ameer, Dost Ma- homed, because, forsooth, it is well situated for es- tablishing a post to wateh and overawe the Afree- dees: Wuzeerees, &c, around Peshawur. This is decidedly tae coolest and most impudent piece of robbery that the British have yet been guilty of in that country. Dick Turpin’s feate were honorable ‘The Freneh and the Emperor of Morocso are at loggerbeads, in consequence of the latter refusing eom pensation for the pillage of a Freach merchant versel that was wrecked on that coast. The bom. barding of the town of Salee was determined upor ; but previous to its being carried into ef- fect, the French Consul bad received orders to embark all the French residents. The British have been playing a similar game with the Moors ‘They cannonaded several points of the coast, and veral vessels, in consequence of the cap- ture of an English brig which, by stress of weather, was obliged to take shelter in the Bay of Betoga. Ex-Seeretary Walker's speech at the banquet in Southampton, which we publish t>-day, will be read with great interest.

The time ie evidently approaching when the United States will be obliged to intervene in European politice We give, in another part of to-day's Heratp, a list of the officers of the New York State govern- ment, executive and legislative, elected by the pecple, including those who hold over from former elections. The general result of the recent elec tions is now known, although the returns are «till to undergo the revision of the S:ate canvassers (the pre- ‘sent State oflicers, of whom a majority are whigs,) which is to be made at Albany the first week in De, cember it is understood that the demozrate have burned elected a majority of the Canal Board—indeed, all the State officers, except the Treasurer and Vanal Com- missioner. The returns show that James M. Cook (whig,) and Henry Fitzhugh (also whig,) are pro bably chosen to those offices, by small majorities Mr Chatfield, Attorney General, owes his re-ole mM, ae he did his election to the same office two years since, to the vote of the anti-renters. He runs about two | thourand votes abead of the democratic candidates | for Comptroller and Secretary of State, ia Dola- | ware and Sullivan counties, and bas five thou. Had his ejority in Sullivan county been the same as thet nd majority in the anti rent counties. of bis colleagues, be could not have been elected. | ‘The closeness of the vote, and the variety of infta | ences brought to bear upon this contest for the Canel Board and members of the Legislature, render thie the mort remarkable election, perhaps on record. When it is considered that in a poll | of about four hundred thousand votes in the State, the probable majority of om candidates elected is | a thousand, it is not surprising that it been difficult to ascertain the actual re the official canvass ie made.

We republish, to-day, from the columns of the Courier and Enquirer, a leading article and a let- ter from Wasbington in relation to our existing difficulties with Spain, and the negotiations be- tween Mr. Calderon and Mr. Webster, of the most momentous import. They involve only a question of international etiquette, to be sure, but yet, a question which comprehends the ultimatum of peace or war. Of the facts which have transpired between Mr. Calderon and Mr. Webster in the progress of their present controversy, we have been promptly advised by our ewn correspondents. But the articles from our cotemporary assume to en- lighten the public upon the policy of the adminis tration in the premises; and, when we consider that Mr. March has been officially recognized as speak- ing by Mr. Webster’s authority, we feel at liberty to give these extracts from his New York organ the importance of an authorized exposition. It would be a waste of labor to review and re- discuss the international obligations respectively attaching to Spain and the United States, frem the lamentable events resulting from the late disas- trous invasion of Cuba. They are sufficiently well understood for all practical purpos: Theattitude assumed by Mr. Webster, upon the point of eti- quette, at which negotiations appear to have come to a dead halt, is the material point at issue. It is this position taken by the Scoretary of State, and — the objects, designs, and tremendous consequences involved in it, which demand our special atteation, and will challenge the attention of our readers throughout the country, and throughout the civi- lized world. We find in these semi-official bulletins of the Courier, @ bold and rather startling defence of Mr. Webster's refusal to grant the salute to the Spanish Consul on his return to New Orleans, as demanded by Spain. The revengeful proceedings of the popu- lace at New Orleans, on receipt of the news of the massacre of the fifty-two Americans at Havana, are explained and palliated—the victims of that execution, and their motives aad conduct, are de- fended—their character is vindicated, and their right toa trial under the treaty of 1795 is boldly declared. The specific article of the treaty appli- cable to their case is given verbutim, and it is uo- hesitatingly avowed that the proofs are officially established of the mutilation of the remaias of | some of the prisoners after their execution. Such @ recapitulation of grievances, upon the Ameri- can side of the question, by a recognized organ of the Secretary of State, is significant, im. pressive, momentous and startling. It could hardly be intended to intimidate the Spanish Minister into unauthorized concessions. Mr. Webster would hardly consent to appropriate the influence of the press, in this way, to aid him in his negotiations upon a point ofinternational etiquette. [tis more rational and consistent to assume that be has taken his position—that he has recited the provocations to justify it, and that he is appealing trem the tech- nical of diplomacy to stubborn facts, the popu- lar feeling, and the support of the people of the United States, in view of the possible contiagencies ofa rupture and an appeal to arms—in fact, a war between the United States and Spain. Mr. Webster is a candidate for the Presidency. According to the latest reports from Washington, he is the administration candidate—President Fill- more having generously consented not to stand in his way. But the late elections, from Maine to Texas, and from New York to California, have been overwhelmingly against the administration and the whig party. Nothing is more clearly fore- shadowed from the results, than the complete anni- hilation of the administration and its supporters in 1852, unless some boll, dashing, and desperate expedient is adopted, upon which to recover their lost ground. The compromise measures will not avail. The opposition occupy the same platform. The country, the people, the age, are progressive. The cabinet must look forward, not backward, for nothing but a bold, emphatic and progressive stroke of policy will save them. The example of the annexation of Texas—the eplendid, the | ineonceivably splendid resulte of the war with Mexico—suggest the popular course of action too distinctly to bemisunderstood. The Havana executions, however justified by the President's proclamation—the decrepid, and dismantled, and unsafe condition of Mexico—the aggressions of British emissaries in Central America, open a wide field for the application of General Jackson’s me- thod of “taking the responsibility.” In this view, and only in this view, can we satisfactorily account | for the warlike position of Mr. Webster. Mr. Calderon submits his ultimatum from Spain, requir- ing an inadmissible concession. Mr. Webster re- fases it—takes his position against it; and in anti- cipation of the ultimaratio regum—the appeal to the sword for the solution of the question—be throws himeelf before the country. And he is right, if he feels that, notwithstanding a mere question of | etiquette may lead to war, the honor of the country will be maintained, its glory extended, and _ bis own popularity immeasurably enhanced. But, again. Not only would popular opinion sustain the government, in an issue of war with Spain— not only do the American people contemplate such a powsible alternative without alarm--but the public jsalousy, lest some humiliating concession tbould be made for the sake of peace, is as much tobe dreaded by the cabinet, and more, than all the consequences of war, upon any grounds of justification whatsoever. Hence, it may be regarded as no vain aod empty gasconading to declare that, upon the point of etiquette between Mr. Calderon and Mr. Webster, the alteraative of war is more imminently hazarded than either of the parties, perhaps, are prepared to believe. Let these negotiations, upon this diplomatic punctilio, be protracted till the meeting of Congress, and let the arbitrament of the question be involved in the | coneurrent jurisdiction of the Seaate and the action of the House—r: ally democraticas they sre—and the prospects of a rupture, involving the civilired world in acas, will become sufficiently tangible to confound the most incredulous. And there seems to be good reason for apprehending that these negotiations will not be settled before the reassembling of Congress. The administration undoubtedly would be highly gratified to report he return of the American prisoners from Spain, the annual message to the two houses. Bat upon a point of honor, or @ point of etiquette, it may be the safest policy for Mr. Webster ts with- hold any questionable concession for the advice and consent of the Senate. And we repeat that, if e thrown into Congress hort of some adjustment, the punctilio between Mr. Calderon and Mr. Webster may yet result ia war The most bloody and desolating wars, ofall aget— and espetially of modern \imes—have resulted {rcm some apparently trifling pointe of etiquette. The ware of Louie ALY , the first English revola- tion, the first French revolution, the thirty years’ war in Germany, the persevering and expensive war of William Pitt againet Napoleon, had their origin in certain torme or points of international etiquette. A trifle may suffise for a pretext, where the elements of @ country are ripe for ali the consequences and proepecte of war, and where the real provocations | lie deeper than the mere show of differences upon the surface Whatever may be the issue of these negotiations between the Spanish Minister and our Secretary of “tate, the popular opinion of this country is quite prepored for the final arbitrament of the sword. The people of the United States know that they but of their military strength and re- Indeed, the briefest glance at the ca- the United States for t A ivantages of e om aggressive sruMicient for the con- atatany moment, and against aay com- hation, they are prepared for either defensive or relve operations ° fer leclara- erico, one hundred and fifty voluutegred their services to Pre tion of war egaina bowend men he of inland steamboat navigation—with electric telegraphs between all the important peinta of the country—with all the internal re- sources of subsistence and supplies for peace or war in the most bountiful abundance—with an ao tive and warlike people, trained to the practical uso of arms, and with numerous factories for small arms, artillery, and all munitions of war scattered ameng the several States—with all the materials diffused among the people sufficient to equip for the field an army of fifteen hundred thousand fighting men, without drawing upon the public arsenals, we may safely conclude that only impregnable, but terrible to their enemies, whatever may be the extent of their alliances. Let the call to arms demand it, and in twenty days at any point of the Atlantic coast, from Maine to Louisiana, an army of tvo hundred thousand men, can be concentrated, so vast and complete are our | interior lines of telegraphs, rail-roads and navi- gable rivers. ‘When we consider the youth of this republic, this and strength is surprising to ourselves, and may well be considered as fabulous and incredible broad. But we have scarcely touched upon the re- sources of the United States, and the illimitablo power in their possession. Let war be declared with Spain, for example, what will be the consequences! There will be a military deseent upon Cuba from our shores. France and England may, perhaps, feel compelled to interfero. The area of opera- tions will then be extended to Canada on the north, and to Cuba and the British islands in the | Gulf on the South; and if Mexico is made the field for offensive operations against us, Mexico will be in progress. Our commerce will be called home, while the supplies of the sixty millions a year of | cotton to England will be suspended, and the thirty millions of California gold will cease to flow into | the coffers of the Bank of England and the Bank of France. The cotton factories of England will ment from that cause alone, and the island will soon be in fate of revolution; while the suspen- | sion of our supplies of gold will destroy the finan- | cial balances of England, France, and the Continent | The whole of the great European powers would thus | be bankrupted from tbe general dnancial pressure | turbulent and terrible democracy, from the bloody socialists of Paris to the terrible Magyars of Haa- gary, would rise in arms, and inaugurate the fierce | drama of another general revulsion, a hundred fold more formidable than the last. In the ead, the re- storation of peace would perhaps find republicanism not only universal in North America and the islands of the Gulf, but predominant in Europe. Such are some of the probable consequences of a war between the United States and Spain. All these issues are possibly involved in the panctilio between our cabinet and the Spanish Minister. It is dangerous to stand trifling, in view of euch mo, mentous contingencies. Spain must be reagonable, and the United States willbe just. But if she per- sists in an inadmissible requisition, Mr. Webster may drive it to open war. He is in the right track for tbat ultimatum. He appears to have suddenly disecvered the popular pulse of the country, and feems to be feeling it with evident gratification. If he is go disposed, he may readily provoke a rupture. This whole country is but a slumbering volcano. Let it be called inte action, and the convulsion will tbake the world, while it will give renewed vigor, energy and unity to the various sections of the Union, and bind them together as in a single camp. | Werepeat it, that in these negotiations at Wash- | ington there is a speck of war—that the country sripe for it, and that but little effort will be re- quired to provoke an explosion—that the people are not alarmed, but jealous of the power of the government; and that between the national honor and the great object of peace, Mr. Webster will be fortunate, if, to the public satisfaction, he main- tains the one without sacrificing the o'ber. Tue Catuoric University tn IRELAND —Pvstic Meerine—Sraecn or Arcunisnor Hugnes.—It will be seen by referenee to another column, that a meeting ofthe Catholics of New York and Brooklyn is called at the Hall of the Stuyvesant Insti- tute, for Tuesday evening next, the 1Sth instant, for the purpese of extending sympathy and support | to the Catholics of ireland in their struggle to establish a Catholic University. Arch >ishop to draw a crowded audience. This meeting presents a two-fold interest—firet, the object isa good and laudable one; and secondly, the Archbishop will probably reply to the attacks of the socialists and red republicans in referenoo to his speech in Liverpool, and his sermon in this city. We have no doubt that he will give a satis | factory explanation, and that his logical acumen | will speedily demolieh the phalanx. {t will there fore be one of the most interesting meetings that has taken place for a long time. A word as to the project itself. There grounds on which it deserves the aid of tl can people. In the first place, the Irish Catholics bave a right to a Catholic University. Ireland was once the seat of learning, to which men of other countries repaired fer a high education; and this was before Catholicism and English rule found their way into the island. The dominant sect no* only took possession of the seats of science and cinete, but made it a penal offence that Catholics should educate themeclves. These penal | while the humbler classes of Catholics might eda- | cate their children if they were able, or send them to the national schools, the wealthier classes, or the middle classes, who aspired to distinction, and fame for themselves or their offspring, were rigidly excluded from vhe scholarships and fellowships of “the Silent Sister,” the only University in lreland, d by the money of Catholics as well as Protestants. To mect this crying grievance, the | portals of Trinity Colle; | they ought to bave b | were established as a “ sop to Cerberus,” during | the repeal agitation, when the Engiish government became frightened; but these gifte not only came in a questionable shape, but involved objections oa religious grounds, which prevented Catholics from freely availing themselves of the education they of fered. The result is the starting of the idea of a Catholic University, which, though not #0 gord as that of a University common and open to all de- | that can be done under the circumstances ; and the Catholics of Ireland have an undoubted right to | prorecute their object to completion. It is only fair pley. But there ie another point of view in which euch | an inetitution is importent means used by the conquerors to keep the coun:ry in servile subjection. By education and learning, ignorance is put to flight as the shatows of night Ignorane> was the know enough to free themselves from the yoke of the oppressor. The general diffusion of knowledge | throughout Ireland, is the surest means of hor | deliverance— the first step in the path to freedom And there ie no people on the face of the glob | whe #0 ardently desire the diventhraknent of that wretched country, a# the people of United States. Their assistance may, therefore, be coun | ed open in furthering this object, when itis broug? | besore them in ite proper light, these United States are in a condition not — rapid expansion into its present gigantic maturity | overrun and annexed, while the general war is still | stop.

It appears that a correspondence took place on the subject between the United States District Attorney and the government ; and, also, between that functionary and Governor Lowe and Attorney General Brert, of Maryland. It appears that Mr. Crittenden, the Attorney (General, re- fused to give the United States District Attorney, in Philadelphia, authority to incur expenses for | the collection of evidence against the persons im. | plicated in the murder of Mr. Gorsuch, without first receiving an estimate of them; but that soon | after Mr. Webster's return to Washington, such authority was fully given. From this it would seem that the cabinet disagreed among themselves as to the propor course to be pursued in the watter of collecting testimony. It is to be hoped they | bave agreed by this time, in all respects; for the law, whieh was most grossly violated in that riot apd murder, eught to be vindicated by all means, and at every hazard. Catuering Hays aNpD HER CoNTRACTORs.— We publish, elsewhere, an article from an eveaing paper, which appears to have been written at the instigation or under the dictation of Mr. Ward- well, one of the ex-managers or contractors of Miss Hayes, and also @ communication from the friends of Mr. Braham, who likewise is involved in the disastrous émeute which has taken place in this city, among the musical people, since Miss Hayes issued ber declaration of independence, er pronun- ciamentoin music. Wo understand that this charm- ing vocalist is literally run down by managers and speculators, all proposing an engagement that would beat Barnum or Bunkum out of existence. With the exception of Burton and Niblo, almost every manager in town has been after her, and many members of the musical profession have like- wise made propositions to her. Mr. Burkhart, wo understand, is the one who is most likely to suc- ceed. Thisis a very funny world, composed of very funny people, creates very funny incidents, and furnishes many funny matters of conversation. | INVESTIGATION IN THE CoRoneR’s Orrick.— Every one is talking of the result of the investiga- tion into the frauds which are alleged to have been committed in the Coroner’s office; but they consti- tute only a small fraction of the corruption that has | been practiced by others in connection with the | city government. If an investigation were to be | made into the doings of ths present Common Coun- cil, a mass of corruption would be brought to light that would astound the community. There is a great deal that would not stand the light in the attempt to fix upom the City an odious gas mono- poly, in the Battery enlargement scheme, in the granting of railroad and ferry privileges, and in other matters. Let no person, therefore, who is connected with the present city government, turn up the whites of his eyes in holy horror at tae de- velopements that have been made in the Coroner's office. Exective Jupiciany.—Some of the daily jour- | nals are endeavoring to show that the election of Judges is the best system that could be adopted. It is all very well at present; but let us wait a little longer before the opinion is unchangeably formed. We have not yet seen any bad effects from the pre- sent system, nor will we, probably, see any for some years to come. It is very evident, how that any system which sanctions the practices which too often characterize our primary elections, wil! produce objections to this mode of appointing the judiciary, in the long run. In the recent election, the eentible portion of the people abandoned party, and tupported candidates for Juiges who were thought to be of the greatest capacity. On the whole, the democrats made the best selection, and they succeeded in electing their candidates. Dr Ryper anv Dr. Bacon.—In another part of today’s Henatp will be found a report of the Rev. Dr. Ryder’s lecture on Lord Bacon’s philoso- phy. We cannot agree with the reverend gentle- man’s wholesale denunciation of Bacon’s system of philosophy by induction. That system has stood the test ever since Bacon’s time, and the older it becomes the more it is thought of. A spirit of sectarianiem pervades this lecture, which, we think, is unfavorable to a fair and dispassionate review of Bacon’s theory. The Italian Opera, Last evening, the fine lyric tragedy of “Maria di Rohan” ‘was represented at the Astor Place Opera House. The plot is full of interest, the incidents are thrilling, and the music is beautiful. The house was not as well filled as might be expected, owing, perhaps, to the circumtance of this opera not being generally known in New York; but | the next time it is produced, it will be likely to draw a | crowd. It was decidedly successful last evening, and will be more so whea the knowledge of that fact goes abroad. The scene is laid in Paris under the reign of Louis X(IT. The Count of Chalais is deeply in love with Maria, the | Countess of Rohan, and the attachment is mutual; but under the influence of her mother she secretly marries the Duke of Chevreuse, whom she greatly respects, but does not love. Her husband is im danger of death | for taking part in @ duel, the Minister, Richliew being hisenemy Maria repairs to her friend, the Vount de Chalais, and entreate him to save the life of the Duke of Chevreuse by his intercession with the King. He is succerrful. The Duke de Chalasis is accused in turn by the Minister of a conspiracy, and Moria goes to him to put him on hie guard, and earnestly urges him to dy. ‘These interviews inflame the passion of love. The Count of Chalais is challenged by the nephew of the minister. ‘The Duke of Chevreuse undertakes to be his second, and Chalais not appearing in time, he fought himerlf, and was wounded in the arm. Meantime, he discovers that | there were interviews between Chalais and Maria, though not amounting to criminality and he finds a letter of his to Matin, which telle the whole story of his love. His distress, deepair, and rage are great. He resolves upon willis beth He makes an Attempt to kill Maria, | det d falls from his hand when he sees her Paleress and wo, and ha is moved to pity.

All who were in- troduced to them were reosived with the utmost cor- diality. They are, im their appearance and demeaner, as different as the various poritions which they have here. tofore held in society. There was not one, however, among them all but has an attractive air--they look like @ band of determined tyrant-haters, as they are. At their hotel they dispose themselves as their inclinations dictate; rome join their new made friends, and converse in the common hall on the first floor; others prefer a quiet chat in the parlor, and others again are fougd en- joying their meditations and ® promenade in the galle- ries opposite their rooms. They dress for the most part in a kind of half military costume, and ordinarily wear black felt hats, adorned by a short black, plume or os- trich feather, which lies over the crown, or curls zrace- fully down the side, Some wear heavy beards and moustashes, while others prefer to shave and trim their Anumber of them were out, +, prome- in company with their wives and chi n, One, especially, we ncticed, a trim built man, wear- ing a light blue military shaped coat, buttoned up to the threat, snd ornamented by a number of long freg buttons, He led chubby little son of Hungary by the band, and was accom) by a lady apparently about 80 years of tge, The lady Lore in her arms an in- fant, and both mother and babe looked well.

We raw them at different points and, although they ap- peared to admire all they beheld, yet of sadness seemed to sit upon their countenances---a kind of gravity that went beyond ordin seriousness——and we thought that the happy faces and busy hands which they “aw around them, reminded them the more that they were far away from their appropriate avocations, and distant from the scenes of their youthful industry One of the i officers, with whom we conversed, expressed a great deal of rutisfaction at everything he saw in the United States; in feet, they never, by accident, mentioned the nane of our country except in marked terms of commendation, He said they bad received many invitations to attend paces cf amusement, and other public places. but they should dectine all invitations for the present. They wish to remain as quiet as possible till Kossuth, ther chicf, arrives here. City Intelligence. Avery Paerry Incioent—Presentation or 4 Meé pat TO Henry Guinnece, Esq. by tHe Barren Rest pents or New Yc kmYesterday a very pretty little transaction took place st the counting roome of (irin- | nell, Minturn & Co, ia Youth street. It appears that a few of the British resite.ts of New York conceived ‘he idea, after the returno: the Advance and Rescue from the perilous voyages in search of Sir John Frank- lin, to present to Mr. Grinnell, the projector of the en- terprise, a gold medal, with some device appropriate to the occasion.
