The premier estates that the ex- Minister of Forcign Affairs was kicked out of the eabiret on account of his unqualified approval of the cou» @état of Louis Napoleon. This fs all pretence, and Lord John Russell is, for his inches, about the greatest little tyrant that over hold the helm of atate inthe British empire. If the trnth were known, he cordially approves of all that Louis Napoleon bas done. Itis not long since he caused the suspension of the habeas corpus act, and arres!- ed and imprisoned hundreds of mon for no other @rimo than mere suspicion of political disaffection, and possibly of revolutionary ideas. ment, come of the leading men of Iroland, in whom the peop'e had boundless confidence, sre pining in exile, and suffering the punishment of felons for political offences. But Lord John Russell has put tho resignation of Lord Palmerston on the ground of the coi d’ efat, in order to make a plausible sare forthe poople. He determined to put him out—coile gui colite—and the event in Paris was seized as a good opportunity, because itis ‘anpopular in England. There has na very bod feeling for & long time between the two nobles, and it has now epevly broken out, with great virulence. Palmer- ston has been always an unmanageable kind of genius, who acted on his own responsibility in his own department, and always kicked out of harness whenever th emi or lead him in foreign affairs. Lord John will ap- proved unhesitatingly the compromise measures, snd consequently repadiated all freo soil measures, ef every kind and description. Wo make this po- sitive assertion on porsonal knowledge, because wo hove seen the insidious and treacherous attempt made by tho abolition coterie of the Hvening Post to misrepresant the principles of General Butler, of Kentucky. If the abolitionists, and the malicious, disappointed men of the free soil fastion in this State, imagine that they can use General Butler for their purposes, they will find themselves moet awfully mistaken. Hossuth—His Character, Conduct, and Posltloa. On Saturday wo published tho first portion of the correspondence between Commodore Morgen, Mr. Hodge, (Americam Consul at Mareeilles,) and Capt. Long, of the Mississippi, seriously implicating Kos- suth in an attempt to embroil this country with France and other nations. Yesterday we published the remaixder, also two letters of a defonsive cbaracter—one from Mr. Palszky, hia secretary, and the country into an unknown sea of troubles, from which, perhaps, wo may never return. It is clear that he is ignorant of the politics of the United States—ignorant of her foreign and domes- tie poliey—ignorant, as he has in suadry spseshes thown himeclf to be, of the state of partics and politics in Franeo; and we verily believe he is ignorant of the political condition of the greater part of Europe. For the extracrdinary courte he pereisted in follow- ing here, after bo had an opportunity of acquiring information from the best sources, we do not blame Kossuth somuch a¢ we do the flankies and monkeys of editors that haunted him with their presence, and varfous political and religious societier, that combined to deceive him from the first moment he sot his foot on Staten island. ‘The whole thiag iza hosx anda mutual deception, from beginning to end. It commenced with the ingenious anthor of more! and pbysical force ef the country—all ite treaeure and its blood—to the fortunes of one man, ard that mana stranger! to hoax him, and Kossuth and his suite boaxed everybody inturn. Itwas a hoax ‘all round ;” but with this distinction—that while tho people have been cosxed and boaxed out of their money, Kogsuth bas the cream of the joke. But the hoax may soon become terious, for wo are advised that a great many lawyers aro of opi- nion that the loans now being raised by Koseuth ord Kinkel, and their agente, aro illegal and in tho nature of a fraud, exposing all concerred to be in- dicted for obtaining money under false protences. There is no Germ>n republic—no Hungarian ropub- lic; and neither Kinkel nor Kossuth have any authority to pledge future republics, still in the womb of time, to pay loans raised by them upon such shadowy security. another from a member of his suite—and alsoa let- ter from the Hon. John Barney, of Baltimore. The correspodence that took place in the Mediterranean has undoubtedly produced, by this time, a profound sensation among the idolators of Kossuth, while it bas only confirmed the opinicns of the shrewd and sensiblo portion of the community, who look a little below the eurface of things. The letters of Pulezky and Bethleny do not amount to anything. They are directed against a real or supposed differonse of | opinion between other wen in reference to Kossuth, At this mo- | | attempted to drive | peal to the popular feeling against Palmeraton, | and Palmerston will appeal to the popular feeling sgainst Lord John. If Palmerston has beon in favor of the cov) d'état of Louis Napoleon, ho has been og Aut st the en , and in favor of constitutional liberty in italy, Sicily and Hungary; and probably ho will beable toexplain why it is that he has taken sides with Louis Napoleon. It seems that tho Ear! of Derby, the Hotspur better known as Lerd Stanley, has also contributed some ingre- dients to the boiling cauldron of political excite- ment. True to bis principles as a tory and his antecedents in Parliament, he has declared in favor of the despotism in Paris. There are many ot bis stamp who have been always frightenod from their proprie'y whenever the Irish peoplo made an effvrt to ascort their freedom, and all the hor- rors of Pope and popery have been conjured up to scsre John Bull. Theso men also took alarm at the progrees of republicanism in France, ard upon the principle of ** when your neighbor’s boure is on fire, take care of your own,” thoy were delighted to sce Prince Louia put an eX, tinguisher upon democracy at the other side of the Chancel.

We have now a full developement ef the extraordinary conduct of Kossuth while on board the Mississippi; and not only is the original statement of our Marseilles correspondent borne out, but the matter is shown to be infinstely worse, unless wo are to belive that a commodore of tho American Navy, a captain of an American steam- ship, and an American Consul, have all conspired, without any assignable metive, against aman whom they had never seen before, but one who was favor- ably known to them by fame, who was the repre- seniative of the game principle and form of govern- ment which they felt proud to acknowledge as their own, and who was tho special object of the protection of the Congress ofthe United States, the President of the United States, and the flag of the United States Navy, which has never yet boen dishonored by cowardioe, or compromised by violat- ing the hospitality of friendly natiors. The sup position of misreprosentation is impossible ; and it is only right that the whole truth should come out. Koesuth has provoked it by the publication of a pri vato letter of his in the abolition journals, and he has now no right to complain that others who wero involved in this matter are heard as wollashe. If it be an iseue of veracity, there are three witnesses to one—and witnesses who are perfectly disinte- rested, and could have no possible object to servo in misrepresenting sucha man as Kossi It ig as abeurd to sey that these men could have had any improper motive, as itis to insinuate that the He- RALD, or any other newsp2per in this city, isan Aus- trian or Russian organ. M. Pusizky migh as well calitho Hrranp a Chinese organ; andholabors under an extraordinary hallucination if he can con- | vince himself, or imagines he can convince any. body else, that this journal is any other organ than the organ of American republican govornment, as understood and practizedin New York and the whole Union. Wo have always done credit to Kossuth for his gonius and great oratorical abilities; but we would despise ourself if we stooped to foster his vanity, his despotic and overbearing arrogance, and his utter want of practical knowledgo in the vest and important undertaking ef which he con tituted himself the dictator. It was undoubtedly the same unfortunate temper, and the same folly, on the part of Kossuth, that do- feated the cause of republicanism in Hungary. The same want of jadgmen’ and good sense on the part of other leadors, defeated republicanism in Germany, Italy, and France; and Kossuth and Kinkel, and Mazzini and Ledru Rollin, and Louis Blane ard Lamartine, ought to be all placed in the same category—vicionary men, who did not and do not understand practical democracy or practical liberty, but confound anarchy and liceutiousness with freedom and republicanism, on the one hand, while on tho other, they arrogate to themselves a tone and on authority that are more befitting the crowned despots of Liurope than plain, unpre- tending republicana, who only seek liberty, frater- tity, equality. We never charged Kossuth with corropt 1 , and, for aught we know to the contrary, ho may be as honesy os the Roman ge- neral to whom an enemy paid tho complimont of taying that the sun might as soon be diverted from its course as he from the-path of re d But this is not the que What wo have beencom- pe to say, wil gret, is that Kossuth has i, practical judgment, an in- shown a want of s d , and an assumption of royal on y ees inciples. 8, andiace . ‘acte now demonstrate our opinions, and show tiat Kossuth was never fit to be anything but the etorical | ,” as he has been so aptly called sown primo minister.

In some instances it was celebrated on Saturday—for example, at Wash- ington, aa wiil be seen by reference te the procaed- ings at the Congressional banquot—in some cases, yesterday particularly, by sermons; but the most ge- neral celebration willbe to-day. It is s day nevor to be forgotten by the American patriot—a day to be cheriched in his “heart of hearts.” But moro especially is {% the daty, as no doubt it is the inoti- nation, of every man who loves this great republic and the sacred foundations on which ite mighty pillars reat, to honor at this particular time the memory of ‘‘the Father of his Country,” who left his principles as a Jegacy to his children, but which itis now attempted to overthrow by forciga and domestic treason—by a coalition of abolitionists who are preaching intervention in Europsan otic crusade, in which she must fail, and which would throw her back forty years. The warning voice of Washington, in his farewell address to the American people, in 1746, though he is dead, still spesks to the nation. It warns us against “inveterate antipathics to particular nations and parsionate attachment for others.” He says—and it is wortby of deep attention:— ‘The nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, rome- times impels to war the government, contrary to the beat calculations of policy, The government sometimes par- ticipates in the national propensity, end adopte, through pasicn, What rearon would reject; at other times, it maker the animosity of the nation subservient to the prejeots ef hertility. instigated by pride, ambition, and otber sinister ard pernicious motives. ‘fhe peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations has been the victim Bo, likewiee, a pi another prod veriety of evils.

ANTISEL:.— Amidot the avalanche of trashy lectures and lecturers that have deleged this city for the last few months, it ig only horo and there that one turns up that is net cither absolutely por nicious, or at least a perfest waste of time and money to listen to or to read. Amidat the vast quantities of rubbish, a grain of gold is occasionally found. This evening, one of these grains of gold will be found in the shape of a lecture by Dr. Anti. sell, on geology, being his fourth and Jast of the series. ‘he loarning and science of thie lecturer have deservedly mado a favorable impression upon him this evening, om “the Reptilian Period and Medora Agencies,” aro uot likely to be digap- pointed. To-morrow ovening, another grain of wheat among so many bushels of chaff, will be evolved in the locture of Dr. Kane, of the United States Navy, on ‘the Arotie Regions and tho Seorch for Sir John Fravklin.” Dr. Kano was one of the Grinnell expedition, and can therefore des- cribe what be has esen, and epeak what he knows. This will be a really interesting locture, and refreeh- iog a3 “an oasia in the desert,” amidst the barren wasto of words with which we have been sur- rounded oa every side during the lecture season. His lectures on the same subject, at the Smithso- nian Institution, at Washington, gave the higho:t satisfaction ever derived from a course cf publio leotures in that city. How different aro the leotures of theso men of action, and facte, and practical soience, from the host of idealogists who have been pouring out their insufferable nonsense upon the community—such ag Emerson, Dewey, Guyott, Mitchell, Greeley, ete.— who, themeelves not understanding what thoy say, fail, of course, to convey any ideas to the minds of others. These visionarics may fill the hoade of their audiences with vague, misty, confused notions, that bowilder them for a moment ; but they impart no facte, no truth, and there can be no permanent impression left ugon the mind to afford food for reflection or thought. How different from rea! science! Ofall these transcendental dreamers, Emor- son isthe mostincomprehengibdle; and we ventura to say that there id no man, after returning from ono of his lectures, no matter how intelligont ho may be, can givo any intelligible account of what he said. It will be found to be all words, words, words, smooth perhaps as oil, or throwing out cor- ruseations of the imagination, commonly known as “ Will o? the Wisp,” but without ono solid idea—one eubstantial fact—to inform, or guide, or suggest to the human intellect, by which it canadd to its sto'e of knowledgo or be directed in the pur- suit. It is what Saint Paul ao expressively cally “opposition of science, falsely so called by men who derken counsel by words without knowledgo”— mon whe speak ‘‘great swelling words of vanity,” | compared to trece without fruit, wells without | water, and clouds without rain, carried about by every Wind. Yot strange to say, many pergons who go to hear such lectures are delighted with them, just in proportion as they do not understand them. Tothem obscurity and eublimity are ono and the same thing. This trash, however, docs a groat | @eal of mischief, not only ia wasting time, but in diverting the mind from true asd practical ccience, and creating a false, morbid, and vitiated taste for | the romantic, the unreal, end the visionary. Joun Van Buren Going Sovrit.—We have heard | it very coftly whispered that our brilliant protegé, | John Van Buren, the brightest and burning gon of | Lindenwaid, has some idea of purchasing a cotton or rico plantation in South Carolina or Alabama, | and of retiring entirely from the northern regioas, j to the more congenial, intellectual and sunny cli- | mate of the south. It is suspected that John, dur- | ing the last two or three years, has become tired | and diegusted with the social system and social ha- bits of fazhionable and political life in this latitude, both of the white and colored races of the popula- tion. The brilliant days of stock operations and | ‘stated preachings of the gospel,” with plenty of H the ‘‘spoils of office,” whick existed ton, fifteen, or | twenty years evo, when his excollent father was | President, our old friend Jesse Hoyt was Collestor, | and John himself the very “prince of good fel- lows,” have all vaniebed and gone to the “tomb of | the Capulets,” along with the verdict of the jury, | which was brought inthe other day againet poor ldwin Vorrest, and in favor of bis late boautifal _ wife, now the brilliant and extraordinary Madame inc! the great actress of the day. If there should be @ realization of this whispered idea, in the future history of John Van Buren, we think it will be one of the happiost turns in his life. | He possestes high talents, great wit, much fine | taste, admirable repartee, and a good deal of ordi- ‘ nary law, mixed in with the gospel at long inter- | vals; but etill he bas more address and ekill in pub- lic life, than research or deep digging at the bar. John Van Buren is just such a man as ought to be a Southern leader in Southern politics. to own one of the largest plantations in the South, with two or three hundred fat negroes, ail as happy 95 the day islong. When he shallreach that point in his interesting biography, he will have ascer- | tained what we have for many years insisted on— that the abolition notions of the Northern fanatics | aro the merest trash that ever wore invented, and that the comfort, the happiness, and the social po- sition of tho African race in tho South, are practi- cal facts in sound philosophy, which no theorist, can shake, and no idealogists can convince any sensible men to be wrong for them. If John shall go South, and becomo a wealthy planter and | groat statesman, he may yet occupy the position Which tho late celebrated John C. Calhoun left | vacant, and which is yet unocoupied. in the meantime, we would respectfully ask the frienas of our great favorite—not the father, but tho son of Kinderhook—-whethor there is any good foundation for the story which bas been whisperod | of his coming destiny?

MONEY MARKET. Sunpay, Feb. 22—6 P. M. ‘The stock market was a little more depressed at the close yesterday, and we should judge from the appear- ance of things in the street that there would be, before the lapse of many days, a great change in the market, of an unfavorable character. For more than a month past holders have with difficuity sustained prives, but it has bad no influence upon outsiders. It is impossible to draw in a new elars of speculators, Whether prices are too much iniiated—whether tae future is filed with too many uncertainties or not--is more then we can say; but sometbing prevents outsiders from taking pold of the fancies, and until that semething is removed, it will be useless to attempt any giovement ia the street. Itis dificult~-in fact impossible--bo work # corner up to even & moderate height, while there is such a scarcity of out- side speculatorsin the market. 1t has beow attempted im Reading, and those engaged have fille’ themselves with the stock, withont the mest remote probability of getting rid of it at anything near cost. They have been cought in the trap set for otherr,and no one has the slightest rympathy for them. Erie R. R. has been gal~ Vanized two or three times, but it takes such a tremen- dous charge to move it at ull, that thoss interested must getupancw battery. We have frequnutly suggested the policy of appcinticg a committes to thoroughly in- vestigate the affairs of the Erie Railroad Company, and if thove interested do not move in the matter, they wilt regret it when too late. An attempt has baen made, since the injunction upon the Morris Canal was removed, to get up a movement in that eteck, It wasa sort of spasmodic action, and toon subsided, Tho fact is, the old rtockholders havo very little Snterest in thie canal, and what they have is not likely to be of any benefi: to them. The prospects of the canal for ihe comiag season, do not partake of the same favorable character that investe other companies engaged ia the transportatioa of coal theic works commenced lart year being yet in an un- finished state, and the capacity of the canal remaining what it has been for some years past—that is, too small to earn fullictent to pay expenres and interest, That their deficiencies wili be greater this year than last, murt be apparent, from the fect that there remains ua- issued $400 000 of their stock, paying ten per ceat per annum, ard which will absorb) eng increased earainga thatmay be made Whew this stock is onoe a ysored— the whole smount being $1,100 000—and the bonded dest of $500,000 provided for by some act of the Legislature authorizing a new issue of preferred stock, bearing, as before, ten per cent interes, or more, if necessary, to indvee speoulators—for it is ppesulators, not capitalists who buy such scouritiee—some round calculation may be made of what the eansl will have to cara before the abused and defrauded old stcokbolders can have a chance of a dividend. The fact is, the spirit of speculation is dormant, and we see no way of giving it life aud activity. Tbe regular brokers in the street have to satirfy themesives with an eighth or a quarter per cont profit on thelr transactions, and to secure that, are com d to operate on thelr own account, Everything in Wall rtreet is at a stand sll and holders of stocks are caxiously looking for an op- portunity to realize without much lose, We fear they will long look in vain, When we calmly look at tho eading fancies on the books of ths stock exchange, amid olorely analyze them ; when wo look back and sve what they have been for years, and what they are now; when we figure np how muoh has been received from them in the rhape of dividends, and how much of the dividend, paid bas been actually earned ; when we reflect upon the many changes and reverses which even the most prospec ous incorporated companies in the country have experi- enced, and ee how powertnl competition has become, and how rapidiy It fs increasing and extendiag, it isenough to disgust even the mort reckioss epsculator, and fil the mind of every careful, cautious capitalist with all sorte ofapprehensions, It is a matter of astonishment to us that any one can be found with nerve enough to carry, for any length of time, any stock abont the roundness avd value of which there is the slightest doubt. The frequent disappointments realized regarding the produotironess ox different stocks, is alone suflvieat to deser caplialiste from touching them more than once; and it seems to ue that the most prominent fancies on the list have beon long enough before the publio for their merits to be pretty generally known, ‘The steamehip Cambria, at Halifex, from Liverpoot with four days later intelligence from Kurope, does not bring euch favorable commercial accounts as we have ro- ceived by previous steamers. The cotton market had be. come inrotive again, and quotations were not sustetoed Breadetufls were gradually rotting down to prices our. rent previous to the slight speculative movement in the market, Provisions were in belter demand.
