This Mor By the arrival of the steamship Europa at Hali- | fax, lact night, we have been placed in possession ef advices from Liverpool to the 24th ult, and London and Paris to the 23d, being one week later than brought by the Niagara. Nothing of a poli. tical nature, worthy of special note, had occurred in either England or France. We have more rumors of attempta upon the life of Louis Napoleon. It has been deoreed that the Orleans family must @ispore ef and cease to retain possession of any property in Frauce within one year. Louis Philippe’s donations to his children have been eancelled, and converted to other uses. Th'g may bo considered @ death-blow to the aspirations ef the Orleanists—for the preseat, at all events. Ia England tho politicians appear to be quietly awaiting the approaching struggle between the Ruszel! Cabinet aud Pariiament. The most impor- tant features of the Europa’s news, is tho an- Rouncement ofa great depression in the English fands, the very slight decline in cotton, and the advatced price and brizk business in all kinds of bresdetufis. Jn the United States Senate, yest erday, an un- wuccees{ul cflort was made to call up Mr. Badger’s Fesvlution, ordering a contract to be made with the editors of the Union for the printing of the census, | The private calondar was afterwards taken up and | feveral bills were cither passed, engrossed, or reject | e@, as will be seen on reference to our report of the | proceedings. Tse principal part of the diy was consumed hy the Houce of Representatives in de- bating the billexplanatory of the Bounty Land Jew 0f 1850. All but the section making warrants assignable was crossed out, and the bill was taen passed. A synopsis of the features of this mea- sure will be found in our report. A communi ficn was reecived from the Secretary of War, an- mouncing that he had purchased two hundred and sixty acies of land near the capital, for the purpose ef establishing an asylum for iavalided and diza- bled soldiers. | The legislative committee of investigation, who | are engaged in probing the canal lettings, havo | pot yot reported, but are still empleyed in their | @arione reesarches, which begin to be of & geologi- eal nature. The result is looked for with consi- derable interest for a variety of reasons. It will be out in ebout a week. ‘Till thon let the public | read ond poder over the letter from Albany, which *s Summary. | we publish this morning. The indignation of the barnburners, at Albany, ig said to bere been aroured to the highest pitch, by the appointments of the new Canal board, who felected bunkers exclueively to fill the offices. Really, the barnburners do appear to be ina bad woy. In the first place, they were ehut ont from the canal le 2, and now they sre again shut No wonder they are dis out from sll ofiess yy lensed. * No business acted in our State Le Our Washin slatur es that the radually improving, and as soon as he is able, is that he will leave for Asb in order to atte in quite a fceble con We observe tha in the Virginia Legisla‘ure, instructing their Sena- tore and requesting their Representatives in Con- gtere to vote for the removal of the United States Mint from Philadelphia to New York.

Mr. Robert L. Stevens has hit upon an exvellent plan, the details of which we give in brief in our paper | of thie morning. We hope the proper authorities will take the matter in hand, and be prepared for all foture cold snaps. Our readers will find, in another column, an inte recting letter from Celonel Hamilton, giving wome fucte relative to the authorship of the Farewell Address of Washington. The statement will attract the attention of the public. At the time the address was written, Hamilton was 3), and Washington (5 years of age A panic, somowhat timilar to that in our Green wich avenue school, ocourred in the State Normal Sehool,on Thursday. The floor, 'n the third story, suddenly gave way, atd cusk beacuth the fect of the scholars, several of whom op and attempted to leap to the gr forty fect. Fortunately, no one was ter jared. ‘Tho building, like our Greenwich soboel, wae put up by contract The Niagara, from here she put in for fuel, with the mails to the 37ib vlt., will arrive this mornrng.

Even chewing tobacco is decribed as reducing a man, asa secial and meral being, below tho level of a horse, while tho elepbant is very far above the rum driuker, in the social and moral scale. After this dash of philo- sophy, by which we are let into one of tho myeterice of epiritualism, and informed that brutes bave souls, and are moral and sociat beings, the teetotal philosopher goes onto state that nine-tentha of sll crimes proceed from aleobol; that the destitu'e children are the victims of parental drunkenness; that it is the cause of vagrancy and pauperis; that this vice and its results are on the increase everywhere except in Maine; that alcohol is a | deadly poison ; that our laws do not permit persons to use poisons at their own personal discretion aad | responsibility, a fact of which any druggist can aseure the benighted, degraded, and brutalisod drinkers; and further, that Chief Justice Taney has desided that the State governments have constitu- tional powers to prohibit the traffic in intoxicating drinks, which judgment is directly at war with the ram sellers’ memorial on that point; and lastly, the organ of the new movement calls upon the legis- lators at Albany to meet the responsibility like men, andenactthe Maine Liquor law, to bo finally | submitted, for approval or rejection, to the judg: ment of the people; and should the law pass, the rumeellers and their friends ara warned that if they resist its enforcement, they will be treated as “rebels,” and shot down like dogs, agit is not fair that the negro rioters, and the opposers of the Fugi- tive Slave law, shonld be the only victims marked out for severity. ** We will take care of them,” says the Zyilune. And thus the gauntlet is thrown down, the issue joined, and the moral war pro- claimed, begun, and carried into the very camp of the enemy. Whatever may be thought of this movement asa theory, or of its spiritual or spirituous effets, it is going to become, in its political aspect, one of tho mortimportant that has taken placo ia this State fer many years. Its practical operation will be to totally disorganize the whigs, ia spite of the canal lettings. It will divide them into two camps, hostile to each other; # large portion wiil takesides with the rumaellers, aud the rest, constituting tho section which are enamored with all sorts of isms, will join the standard of cold water and moral reform. Qne camp will contain the ivototal whiges andthe other the rum whige, and all the leading politicians who are attached to the presopt syste of managing the primary elections at grog shops, and ail those who hold places obtained by the ia- floevee ofrum and rowdyism. ‘Tae abolition camp, and its great gun, the T'ribwne, want to have the nominations emancipated from this slavery, aud te Gave their own teetotal men placed en the whig ticket ‘Thus stand the contending armies ; and such are tho objects for which they are about to wage a deadly internecine war. The battle is to see who shall have ths neminations, and who the spoils. It is a feud between two sections of the whig party, to determine which ehall have the dominion. I; vill be a tremendous siraggle, as bota sides are resolved upon ‘*death or victory.”’ There will be ne quarter, no surrender, no compromise—war to the knife is the word, and the black flag will wave yer the contending hosts. Whether the Mains Liquor law be passed this season or not, the etrife will be coatinued, and carried iato e Presidential election. The result will be, that the whig party may be cat to pieces, horse, foot, iiery, in this State; and the operation of the new isin, testotalism, will probably control the vboice of the next chief magistrate of the United ates.

The results of this continual influx, both commer- cially and politically, upon the population and the instivutions of the old country and the new, cannot be fully estimated or realized at prosont; though every man versed in tho history of mankind, and possessed of any political sagacity, must ‘see, even now, a8 through a glass darkly,” the dim shadows ofthe most momentous consequences arising from such an extraordinary shifting of the races of the earth. Its influence can hardly be less upon the age in which we live than the migrations of the tribes of ancient Greece upon a remote era of the world, in developing the arts and sciences, and spreading civilization, and vommerse, and freedom, and iatel lectual light, together with conquest and extended rule. ‘Tho Amazon, whoee melancholy fate was recently recorded im our columus, was the pioneer of a new direct line of steamships to run fortnigatly bo tween Southampton and Chagres, touching at St. Thomas. By this enterpriee, which may be re garded as the commencement of anew erain the history of British transatlantic steam navigation, there ie a perfectly straight route from England to Chagres, for passengers going to California, and, no doubt, thousands will proceed by that line, from the continent of Europe, and frem tho British lelands, instead of by New York, New Osleana, or other ports of the United States. It is in fact a great steam ferry, established between Earope and the Isthmus of Panama; and, henceforth, a oon- stantly increesing traffis must flow to and from those points. it will give a new impotus to per- sonal ard mercantile intercommunication botween both worlds, and especially the coast of the Pacific, and this cannot fail to produce a tremendous’effect both in the United States and in Europe. It will open up new avenues for commercial inter- course, and it will inflaenee the manners and icstitutions of European nations, while it will probably modify our own. Not only are emigrants coming from Europe to this country, but there are many going back, who will carry with them republican principles, illustrated by prac- tical success in fhe United States. From Australia, too, and the isles of the Pacific, and from the coast of Asia, at tho other side of that vast ocoan, the gold discoveries in California have attracted emi- gration and vast commercial speculations to the United States. While these movements are going on iathat hemisphere, corresponding movements are being made from our Atlantic seaboard to the came des- tination. A large number of European emigrants, finding they cannot make money fast enough in the:. parts, are every day hastening to the laud of gold, while thousands upon thousands are com- ing here from tho old country to fill up their places; and thus this great tide of human beings flows on, and will continue to flow, as long as the American continent holds out inducoments to tho eaergy, enterprise, and talent of the nations of Europe. Emigrants are coming here from various motives; and men of various classes are swelling our popula- tion, particularly in the Atlantic cities. At pro- sent the number excoeds half a million in the your. We would not be surprised if it reached, for this year andthe next, the enormous number of one million annually. With this vast increase of new elements in our populetion—which will be multiplied by procroa- tion bere—cvents may be expected in the course of ten years, perhaps in a shorter poriod, which, i¢ now anticipated, would startle every reader with amazement. A large number of the emigrants, particularly those from the continent of Europe, ure republican in their sentiments, and some of toem go for red republicaniem aad socialism, and other “isms.” It is impossible to say how far these men will inculcate the domestic politics o the ceuntry with their ideas, or affect our forcig relations by their influence. Though tho idea of intervention is now ebsurd, and is ouly entertained | by the wild Kossuth journals, and the politicians who wantto make capital out of it, tho time may yes como when it will be realized, and the result bea universal blaze of warintwo worlds. ‘There is no doubt that the foreignera who are now coming to our shores, and tho millions who are yet to como, will one day bura with enthusiasm to wage & war of American propagandism in Europe; aud there is now vo telling how far they may eucceed ia car- dencies are as comprehensive ‘as the range of fatirg events—and that while it may tell upen tb despots of Europe, it may recoil upon our @wn Institutions. Ifthe doctrine is admitted, it applics to every peo- ple end nation under heaven. The struggling Cir cassians may call for our intervention, the suffering telians, and the down trodden people of Ireland, as wellas the brave Hungarians. Even the Hot- tentots, at tho Cepe of Good Hope, are fighting fer the right of self-government ; and the rebollion ia China ha: for ita object the dethronement of a deepotism. Tho dootrine is, therefore, comprehen. sive; for, ifadopted in favor of Hungary, it applio® with equal force to every quarter or corner of the globe, where a people are struggling for tho right to govern themeelves. It is dangerous, because there is co end to it, not beiag limited evon to our exterior or foreign relations ; but it comes directly home, and miszhievous!y intermeddles with our do- mestic affairs. Intervontion may, therefore, bs cousidored in two separate aspectse—domestic intervention and foreign intervention. For the last thirty years we have had enough of this domestic intervention to satisfy the whole country that it is dangerous, treasonabie, and destructive of the peace and stability of tho Union. It was the intervention of the abolitionists and Northern free soilers in the affairs of tho South, which brought this proud and glorious republic to the verge of diszelution in 1850, We had asimilarlessoa from Northern intervention in 1920; and the adop- tion of the federal constitution itself was at one time in imminent peril, from the same cause. The North | thought proper to intervene, and it was nos till their intervention was xbandoned that tho constitution and the Uujon were established. Thus, our whole experience in domestic intervention ig agdinst it, as a vicious and destructive heresy, and aa the only solitary evil from which there is any real danger to be apprebendod to the peace, prosperity, and safety ofthe Union. Itis the internal enomy, moro to be feared than the armies and navies ofthe world com- bined against us. ‘Thus much for domestio inter- vention. Foreign intervention, or intervention in the af fairs of other nations, es introduoed by Kossuth aod Kinkel, is something of a novelty—it is bold, dashing, and plausible; but bound by uolimits, and restreined by no fixed principles. Is is a two edged sword, and cuts in eve y direction. But it is popu- lar and congenial with a large class of our North-~ ern population, and th’ litical aspirants of both the great parties of the day promptly discovered it. Cass and Douglas almost camo up to the full en- dorsement of the principle at the Congressional and Jackson Hall banquets to Kossuth, in Washington; and the former Senator has latoly reitorated his views in @ resolution eubmitted in the Sonate. Douglas, Seward, Walker, and other Senators from the North and West, may be expected to advance similar opisions as the debate progressos. But the sweeping oxtent of the principle, if once admitted, appears to have escaped their attention entirely. ‘Tho German vote may be worth having in tho Pre- sidential election ; but it would be well to consider the price at which it ia to be seoured. Tatervention in behalf of Hangary, means intor- vention everywhere else. We cannot limit the principle to @ special case. The doctrine must ap- ply to tho sawe causes everywhere. If we can intervene for the liberation of Hungary, why not fer the liberation of Cuba and of Canada? The South would not object in the case of Cuba; but it is very possiblo they would shake the Union with their opposition to tho liberation and annexation of Upper and Lower Canada. On tho other hand, Gen Scott, in 1849, from West Point, wrote a lstier in favor of intervention for the annexation of Canada, while, we apprehend, he and ao immenso perty inthe North would resist tothe last any- thing like intervention for the expulsion of Spanish authority from Cuba, and the incorporation of tha; evergreen island among the States of the Union. But ‘et us adopt the principle of intervention inthe affairs of other people, for the defence of republi- can principles, popular sovereignty, popular free- dom, national rights, and of suffering, straggling aud down-trodden bumanity in Europe, and we shall be juet as free to intervene in Canada, and Cvbe, us in far off Hungary. Had our govera- ment adopted the policy of Kossuth last Jaly, Gopez | would have been immortalized 23 tho liberator of Cubs, just se Sam Houston was immortalized ia | the liberation of Texas. It was the misfortune of | Lopez that he acted too soon, and thus died tho | death cf a traitor and a pirate. With the adop- tion of the policy intervention, it is only noves- rying out that stupendous idea. During the prerent year and the next, therefora a vast number of revolutionary spirits may bo ex pected Lere—a host of exiles from the Continent, that will follow in the footsteps of Kiokel end Keseuth, in consequence of the news that hag Ors; flame hundreds of European artists with the hops, if not of rival! pts, at of makiag moderate fortanes by their talents in the United States. An jon of agitators and dema- may, therefore, be expected, and the p ticians will take them by the hand, in order to carry t) point with tho “adopted citizens” of the old country population.

Bofore the year S62 is brought 'o @ close, they wil make their woight felt in the political balance, by those who now secm to regard them with so much indifference. It ia to their good sense and patriotiem we must look as a counterpoise to the exciting agitation of tho headlong hotepurs from the continent of Europe, who, if they wore allowed to have everything their own way, would soon involve this contiaent in trouble, and set the whole world on fire. Intervention Poiley aud Politics, Kossuth, Kinkel, and intervention have excited an immenso eontation throughout tho country The aspiring and wire-working politicians of the North and West have taken hold of this new doc- | tary that an incipient revolution be started in Caba or Canada, and not only will oar vo! | to enlist in eithor struggle, without | odium, or the danger, or the penalty of fillibusteros, | but our government will be compelled to belp thom ; to liberate those people—each being under a monare Vern ent, govern themselves.

Bat if we should happen to send an army of intervention to liberate Canada, Great Britain might possibly sond ; backan army of fugitive slaves upon the South, upon the seme pr! a of intervention.

The plan is a comp fiat, compared with which the boid stroke of Louis Napoleon dwindles into a pal- try bagatelle. The “financial and material aid” once collected, a grand filibustering expedition—a sort of Invincible Armada, by steam, ia to do the work. The socialist organ of the Central Committoo, gave—* We do moet folly believe that such an army as this country could readily despatch by sioam to ‘We eay, in the outeot, that ice application ie with- out limit, if the principle is adopted —that ite ten- Enrope, and which all the naval forces of the con- pleased, with Winfield Scott for its leader, would march from Leghern straight through to the Car- pathiansin a single campaign, emancipate Italy and Hungary forever, annibilate the Austrian em- pire, and insure the liberation of Germany.” And again he says :--“Let the news but speed over Eu- rope that awell appointed American army had landed in Italy, having the overthrow of despotism for its avowed object, and nearly every capital on the continent would be the focus of insurrection within a fortnight.” The grand transatlantic crasade thus laid down, compre! the withdrawal of Gen. Scott from the Presidency, and makes a very unexpected and deeirable opening for Fillmore and Webster. If Scott is to take the command of the European Liberating Expedition, he cannot, of couree, think of giving it up for the comparatively inglorious occupation of the White House. And some one must be left to distribute the loaves aud fishes, including the hasty plate of soup, and to lock after the outstanding Mexican aud Florida clsims. The military liberating expedition must | be commanded by Gen. Scott. It will thus be ren- | dered efficient, complete, and invincible, against | the Gre in the front, and “the fire in the rear.” A peculiar feature of the general plan is, on Kos- uth’s authority, the purchase of some 40,000 may. kets for the Hungariane, at two dollars a-piece. is supposed that those ematl arms are intonded ac- tually, by a ruse, to be delivered to the Austrians, as caloulated in their own hands to work awong | the enemy the most fearful execution. For the facts, however, we refer all parties concerned to | Simeon Draper, Eeq., who, it appear’, ia one of the Revolutionary Committee, and was the agent for the sale of the guns, on the part of the ownors, and the agent of Kossuth in their purchase, This isa very interesting branch of the subject. Tho financial branch of this glorious enterprise is scarcely on @ less imposing and magnificent scale. The principal agent of the stock of the Hungarian Loan ia William P. Libboy, up stairs, over Genin’s hat shop. Who is Libbey? What has become of Shepherd Knapp, the former treasurer? We are informed that the notes “will be carefully countersigned and registered, the names of the takers iecorded, and every dollar received will be paid over to the order of Louis Kozsuch, the People’s Governor of Hungary, in aid of Ler liboration from the despots who have foully enslaved hor. Each note specifies on its face, expressly, that it is payable only in cage of Hangery’s liberation.” We are also informed that a subscriptio. of one doliar each, by five mil- lions of men, will amount to five millions of dollars; and the arithmetic of the propositioa is correct. Follow it up, anda dollar each, by ten millions of men, would make ten millions of dollars; and double tbat sum would be twonty millions, and so on to a hundred milllons. The arithme- tic and simplicity of the thing are remarkably striking. ‘The notes are of the denominations of $1, $5, $10, $50, and $100, the vignette upon each being @ beautiful portrait of Kossuth, which, of itself, is, er ought to be, a considerable tempta- tion tosubsoribe. The idea wae, doubtless, bor- rowed from the likenesses of Barnum and Jonny Lind, on the attractive shin-plasters of the Pequon" nic Bank, which is another recommendation in its favor. Butifthe Hungarian notes were engraved with a portrait of Kossuth on one side, Kinkel on the other, and Barnum in the middle, mounted uponthe woolly horse, with a fire-annibilator under each arm, they would be absolutely irresistible. Let this suggestion be considered. We apprehend that when the intelligence of tho military, materisl, and financial operations of this Bloody Astor House Hungarian Central Revola- tionary Committee reaches Europe, it will create a panie among the absolutiste; and that the despots of Austria and Russia will propare to fall back for etafety upon the Ukraine, or the plains of Agia, to escape from Barnum and the humiliation of being exhibited through the United States at the low price of twenty-five conts a sight. All that Barnum now wants for his Museum isa live despot or two, to complete the catalogue ef his wonders. Let the Proposed campaign, undor General Scott, be carried out, and wo may yet live to see, at least, the tyrant of Avetria drawn by Barnum’s elephants along Broadway, and the netes of Kossuth at a premium in Wall strect.

The Conandrum Dodge, The contest of wit for the prises offered by Professor Anderton, came off last night, in Metropolitan Mali, but did not draw #0 extensively as had been expected. A Jury of thirteen ladies was empanelled to adjudicate on the merits of the gentlemen's connudrums, and a jury of thirteen men to decide on thore of the ladies.

Last evening there was a hard struggle between the two Opera troupes, both houses being great, but Astor Place being rather be:ter filled, while, in point of mum- bere, there were more at Niblo’s. The weather was uns favorable, and the fact of two such houses being brought out om such # night, is evidence cumulative of the triumph of the republican principle first established by Niblo--50 cents to every part of the house, and adopted, throvgh his advice, by the Besio and Bettini troupe, with complete succers, after they had failed at higher prices, and now pursued by Maretzek with similar re, sulte, efter failing at the aristocratic fgure. At Niblo’s there were about 2,000 persons last night, and the re- evipts were $1.00; at Maretzek’s there were about 1,700 persons, sna the receipts were about $700 Niblo’s can seat ccmfortably 2,500 persons, and, when crammed, holds upwards of 3000. There were 3.100 on the ocossion of Mr. Sefton’s benefit. It has much more back rocm than the Astor Place, and the room in the body of the house is more judiciously dispored—the space ocoupied by the chairs at Astor Place being @ great waste of room. The troupe at Niblo’s has, therefore, a greatadvantage. When both heuses are filled te overflowing, Niblo’s would hold at least 1.200 persons more than the Astor Place; aud the whole of Nivlo’s pays 60 cents whereas one-third at the Astor biace only pay 25 cents, The result, therefore, in dollars | would stand thus :-~ | wile | 000 persons #t 50 cents... . s, 1,200 at £0 cents, end 600 at tes Difference in tavor of Niblo’s..... + 760 According to the present rates, therefore, the troupe at Niblo’s, when both houses are filled, receive double the aweunt of mouey. Here is the strongest possible argus ment for a large opera house holding 5,000 persons. The audience at Nidlo’s was an intellectual, intelli. gent, divoriminating sudience—dressed with elegance and modesty combined. The audience at Astor Place was, on the whole, dr esed more brilliantly. The upper ten came outin great force, There have not been so many of them prereat since the change took piace, The full opera dress, iu fect, prevailed over the demi-toilette, and the plain But it wes curiousto see how all were mixed up together in trae republican style. How mortifying it must have been to the aristocracy! It was one of the largest and finest houses we ever saw at Astor Place. ‘This was. no doubt, purtly owing to the grand attraction of “ Robert the Devil” the greatest of all Meyerbeer’s compositions, and which never fails to draw a crowd. It was beautifully rendexed by Steffunone, Marini, and Salvi, particularly Strffanone, The seenesy wan very fine, and the dancing girls, led by Julia Turnvall, were @ feature. At Niblo’s there was siso a great attraction—“ La Fa- vorita’’—-but it has been performed go often, recently, ae to deprive it of novelty. Yeu it was received with great eclat, and the enthusiaem and applause were vehement.
