New York, Tuesday, April 6, 1852. The News. The attention of the United States Senate was yesterday occupied with the bill ordering the Secre- tary of the Interior to forthwith apportion the rep- recentatives of the several States according to the census of 1850. By the official returns from South | Carolina and Louisiana, and the incomplete returns from California, it appears that they all have frac- tions, which will not entitle each to a full represen- tative, but which, by adding them, will give one of there States an additional Congressman. The ques- tion now is, which State shall have the extra mem- ber? South Carolina, by the official returns, has the largest fraction—but California, it is contended, has, in reality, a much greater population than has been returned by the census takers, and hence is legitimately entitled to the representative. How they will settle this knotty point, it is impossible to tell. Senator Mason, of Va., will make on Mr. Clarke's non-intervention resolutions to-day. About two weeks ago, Mr. Jackson, a Southern | rights democrat, of Georgia, introduced a resolu- tion in the House, which declared the binding effiva- ey of the compromises of the constitution, and the inutility of meddling with the compromise measures ofthe last Congress. This affair was evidently in- tended not only to act as a fire-brand among the somewhat inflammable democrats of the South, but to set the whole country once more in commotion on the slavery question. On the coming up of this resolution yesterday, considerable sensation is said to have been manifested on all sides. Mr. Hillyer, a Georgia unionist, endeavored to prevail upon his colleague to withdraw his proposition, fora substitute declaring the compro- mise bills » final settlement. Mr. Jackson persisted in his demand for the previous question, which the House, after a great deal of confusion, refused to grant, by a vote of 80 yens to85 nays. Mr. Hillyer was then enabled to introduce his substitute, which was before the Honse at the time the wires gave out, and cut off our report of the remainder of the day’s proceedings. It will be observed that the Southern secessionista and abolitionists figure conspicuously in the debate, and were the special advocates of Mr. Jackson’# mischievous resolution. The members of the House appear to have been ina eomplete up- roar fromthe beginning to the end. What effect this secession torpedo will have on the coming Presi- dential election, time will soon make manifest. Of late there has been considerable rivalry be- tween the whigs and democrats at Albany, as to who should have the credit of reducing the State half mill tax to a quarter of a mill. some time ago, Mr. Morgan, whig, offered a bill for this object, which was to go into effect on the Ist of next January.” Yesterday, Mr. McMurray, dem., introduced another, to go into operation imme- diately, which was instantly approved, and ordered toa third reading. This i important mea- sure, and will meet the unanimous approbation of | alltax payers. Several propositions for repealing or materially altering the excise laws, were debated atlength. One of these—virtually the Maine law, and containing a clause submitting it to the deci- sion of the people—was eventually voted upon and lost. This pnts an end to all prospects of the enact- ment of the Maine or any other stringent teetotal law, by the Senate, during this session. The Assem- bly was mostly oceupied in the third reading of | bills for the edification of the few members present, | who were finally compelled to adjourn for want of « quorum. By a despatch from New Haven, we have a por- tion of the returne of the State election, which took place in Connecticut yesterday. It is thought there has been no choice for Governor—the Senate is doubtful, but the House is probably whig. The reason of the latter is probably owing to the feet that many of the democrats resolved to support these of the whig candidates who were pledged to the temperance cause. Indeed, the subject of tem- perance appeared to have been the only question in dispute—party lines were wholly overlooked, and party leaders were almost entirely cast aside. The result of the contest, therefore, cannot be set down axa political triumph, no matter which party isin | the ascendancy. We have received papers from Santa Fe to the 2th February. Extr@ets from them will be found in another column. The indians are still trouble- gome. They have lately committed several mur- derons depredations, and carried off cattleand other property belonging to the settlers. The excitement caused by the discovery of gold on the Gila and the newly found placers continues in full force. The trial of several murderers having resulted in the ac- quittal of the accused, the people have, ina late ease of undoubted guilt, administered the law under Judge Lynch's code, and hung the murderers to a tree. Koseuth is said to be making both friends and money in Mobile, and cannot leave for the North so Jong as he is doing so well in the Routh. Ata meet | ing of the citizens, the non-intervention and similar sentiments of Senator Clemens, Union democrat, of Alabama, were disavowed. The people of that re- gion have probably been reading the extraordinary Jotter of John C. Calhoun, Jr., which was published in this paper several months ago. Now that the Magyar has re-established himself in the good opinion of a portion of the Southern people, what will the abolitionists do? It would be strange if the Northern philanthropists and Southern seces- sioviste should again combine, as they did in the lust Congrese, and yesterday did in the House of Ropre- sentatives, in opposition to the compomise, and en- deavor to geangle the country in an unnecessary foreign war. These political antipodeans will re- fort to any and.every method to consummate their incendiary purpote of shattering shir glorious Uason In the Board of Addormen, which commenced their April session yesterday evening, # resolution was offered by Alderman Boyee, requesting the Law Commitioe,in consideration of the many serious eecidente, involving the frequent loss of life by the falling of baildings while in progres# of construction, peeck | In the Senate, | to frame a» law that sball create an officer, to be called the Inepector of Buildings, whose duty it shall be to see that all new buildings are properly and substantially constructed. The resolution was re- ferred to the Committee of the Law Department. Another resolution, in reference to the sweeping and sprinkling of the streets, principally Broadway, was referred to the Committee on Cleaning Streets. A resolation was adopted, requesting an application to the Legistature for an act modifying the manner of collecting arrears of taxes, assessments, Croton water rents, &e. The amount of the annual taxation which tho Board of Supervisors are empowered to raise, is one million six thousand six hundred and fifty dollars. The Court of Oyer and Terminer is adjourned to Monday next. There are several murder cases for trial. The recognizances of Mr. Chas. O’Conor, surety for the Fillibusters, (Lewis and Schlessinger,) were estreated yesterday in the United States District | Court. Comparatively little business was trans- | acted in the other law courts, beyond the swearing in of jurors. It will be seen that Recorder Tillou expressly charged the Grand Jory yesterday, that lotteries are prohibited by the law and by the constitution. They must, therefore, find a true bill against the Art Union. Some interesting in »rmation concerning the nego- tions for the disposal of Col. Fremont’s California mining property to English capitalists, will be found in the money article, in another column. The storm of yesterday continued with unabated violence at the time of our going to press. | of the telegraph wires were prostrated, and fears | are entertained for the safety of vessels off the | const. Severa Louls Napoleon and France. The news from Europe, by the Baltic, which we publish to-day, indicates that the régime of Louis Napoleon is still firm and undisturbed—and that, from all appearances, it is likely to continue so for years tocome. He has not, as yet, taken the title of Emperor, but there are symptoms sufficiently in- dicative of his intention to assume it ere long. On his return to the Elysée from a review in the Grand | Square of the Tuileries, on the 21st ultimo, he was greeted with enthusiastic cries of “ Vive ?Empe- rewr;? and we weuld not be surprised if he submits | the question to the army and the people--as he did the coup d’état; and if he does, there is not the | slightest doubt that they will elect him Emperor, by seven or eight millions of votes, and he will then have the title confirmed by the legislative corps. When the French President achieved the coup d’état, all Europe and America were startled, and it was predicted, on every side, that his fall would be as sudden and complete as his usurpation. We did not concur in these prophecies, and we stood | almost alone in our views of the probable results of this master stroke of revolution. We founded our | opinion on a knowledge of the character of the | French peeple, the history of the country, the genius of its instit utions, and the distribution of its landed | property. The issue, so far, has proved that we | were right in the estimate we had formed. It was | confidently asserted that the dictator would not | retain the power he had grasped for a month— | perhaps not aweek; that he would be either assas- sinated or overthrown in the whirlwind of a now revolution. Four months have since elapsed, and ; neither event has happened, nor is there the slight- est probability that either one or the other will take place for the next ten years. Instead of the people, to whose judgment he submitted the propriety and policy of the’ step he had taken, condemning him us a@ usurper, thoy ratified and confirmed all that he had done by a far } larger vote than that by which they first elected him President—by the largest, in fact, ever given for any man in France, er any nation in the world--seven millions and a half of the euffrages of the electors, or nearly the whole voting population. He was thus made an elective autocrat by the voice of the people; and the inference is that they con- cluded this anomalous form of government suited them better than any other that had ever been tried before. Various experiments had been made from time to time, but all had failed; and the coun- try at last discovered that a representative auto- cracy was the thing most adapted to its institu- and particularly to that which is the basis of all government in every nation—the ownership of the soil. Let us see how the fact stands. | | In France, the proportion of landholders to the | population is greater even than in the United States, and the suffrage being universal, is still more ex- tended than it is with us in certain States. The controlling and preponderating interest is the landed | proprietary, which are as one to eleven of the whole population; in other words, every second head of a family throughout the entire country is a Jandholder. In this respect, both France and the United States differ widely from England. The proportions of population, voters and landholders, in the three greatest countries in the world are as follows:— Voters. Landholders. United States . 8.500.000 1,500.000 Fran 8.500.000 8,300,000 Thus, in the United States there is one voter to every seven, and one Jandholder to every seventeen | of ihe population; in France, one voter to every | four, and one landholder to every eleven; in Great Britain and Ireland, one voter to every thirty, and one landholder to every 698 of the pepulation. Hence, it may be seen that France has equality | Without liberty, while England has liberty without equality. America bas both liberty and equality i perfection. France and England are gradually and slowly tending towards the model of this country— France to its liberty and England to its equality. France is without an aristocracy, having in its first revolution—which was enkindled by the example | of the American revolution—got rid of its nobles at one fell swoop, and divided the land among the people; but it is without any fixed fundamental principles of liberty—any theory to fall back upon in times of convulsion, and to work out to its legitimate consequence, such ag the Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights in Eng- land, or the constitution in the United Btates. Hence, when the opportnnity offered of establishing cither a limited constitutional monarchy, like that of England, with checks and balance of power and the operation of public opinion, or a ropablic like that of the United States, the people were not pro- pared for it, and could not appreciate principles of liberty to which they were unaccustomed. The government of England, on the other hand, is that ofan aristocracy in practice, while in theory and machinery it i¢ popular and free; and if a revolu- | tion now took place in that country, it would proba- | bly result in a representative federal democracy— England, Wales, Seotiand, and Ireland constituting sovereign States, united into one British republie— 80 thoroughly do the English people understand the theory of liberty, 80 familiar are they with its groat principles, and so much of it do they practically | enjoy, in trial by jury, habeas corpus, a free press, ‘and the right of public meeting and discussion. This wasone reason why the English colonists so rapidly covstructed the constitution of the United States and established this model republic. All | that England weuld want, to-morrow, for her per- feet freedom and prosperity, would be the extize- tion of the hereditary nobility. a distribution of the soil like that of Franec, aud the same exton- sion of suffrage among the people. France has these two great fundamental cendi- tions of freedom; yet she has no liberty at all. But France is happy, while England is miserabie. The revolution of 1789 gave the mass of the people the fruits of liberty, which they have enjoyed ever since, and they seem to care little about the tree itself, 80 pendent of Paris and the government, as regards Loua Mowrss Avoxe ras Porrraxs—Mors Ho- | Revivaa or rue Savery AciraTion.--There their material enjoyment.

The wrath of Greeley and his co- that shake the seat of empire. The convulsion of February, 1848, which dethroned the monarch and set up a nominal republic—the bloody strife of June of the same year, for socialism and a red republic, and the coup d’éat of December last, did not clec- trify the landed proprietors of France. These events hardly caused a ripple on the surface of their equa- nimity. If they had any apprehension, it was lest socialism, red republicanism, and infidelity should disturb them in their simple enjoyments. They had, in fact, more to hope and loss to fear from a strong government than from a weak one, and from civil war and intestine commotion, threat- ened by the factions opposed to Louis Napoleon | and to eachother. They therefore hailed his tri- umph and the establishment of a military despo- tism, which put down the malecontents. They had much to lose and nothing to gain by domestic feuds, and they regarded the dictator asa sort of political (Hdipus, who untied the Gordian knot, and pre- served to them the blessings of peace---with their cottages and farms, and their fruits, and bread, and wine, and all the enjoyments of rustic simplicity, In Great Britain and Treland the case is the very reverse. Any chauge must be for the better to the majority of the people. Anoligarchy of 40,000 possess the land and rule the country, notwithstanding the theoretical provisions of what is called the constitu- tion. In theory it is said to be a limited monarchy, but in practice its limitations are so essentially axis- toeratie, that though the shadow of royalty remains, the substance has vanished---the sovereign now dis- charging no other functions than signing official documents, and conferring dignities and pensions | on individuals nominated by the oligarchy. As to popular limitations on royalty or aristocracy, there are absolutely none, for the sole privilege left to the people is the right of complaining or of petitioning an adverse legislature—the House of Commons, elected by bribery and intimidation, consisting for the most part of branches of the aristocratic fami- lies or their nominees, and being just as little the true representatives of the poople as the House of Lords, except in the large cities; and even in these, the elections are often decided by the money of the aristocracy. In fact, like the rod of Aaron, the oligarchy has swallowed up the prerogatives of the crown and the rights of the commons. It carries out its own will and executes its laws, inthe name of the monarch, who is merely the greatest aristocrat, Yet there is a recuperative power in the British constitution, which will one day set all right. In England, then, the monarchs have no power. In France it has been always quite different. When feudal monarchy was intro- duced, England had two advantages which France did not possess, and which has led to opposite results. In England it came suddenly, and the country not being prepared for it, was roused and united against despotism. England being but one State, a union was easily accomplished. On the contrary, in France feudal monarchy was introduced by degrees, and strengthened itself as it advanced; while the country, being divided into petty sove- reignties, could not effectually combine against the steady encroachments of tyranny. ‘The French peo- ple, therefore, became a monarchial people, and their ideas of government were those of an absolute monarch, or emperor, or whatever clse he might be called. Hence the first republic failed, and merged in the empire of Napoleon Bonaparte, and now the second republic has failed, and merges in the empire of Louis Napoleon. It was a great mistake on the part of Louis Philippe to attempt to assimilate the French government to that of the aristocracy of Ergland. There was no basis for such an assimila- tion. In France the many possessed the land—in England the few There was no aristocracy in France on one hand, and on the other no machinery for constitutional government. In France the King had great power—in England the Queen has none at all. The circumstances, therefore, of the two countries were and are essentially different. An elective emperor, or representative autocrat, is what suits the French people, and is adapted to the preponderating interest, which is that of the land. The proprietors of the soil do not care a fig for the extinction of the liberty of the press in the capital. What is it tothem? They are not affected by it, and do not appreciate it. They have every motive of interest to sustain a strong government, and there is not a shadow of adoubt that they will stand by Lo Napoleon. There will be peace and imperial despotiem in France for a long time to come; and the revolutionary, discontented spirits, who are chiefly confined to Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, and two or three other cities, will come out to the United States, where, unless they are very squeamish, they can enjoy republican liberty in its theory and practice, such as it exists nowhere else under the sun, and never has existed since the be- ginning of the world. Inportant CHARGE or THE RECORDER TO THE Granp Jury, on Lorrertys—Jupce DER oN THE Ant Union Lotrery.—We refer our readers to a very important charge delivered by Recorder Tillou yesterday to the Grand Jury, on the subject of gam- bling and lotteries. In that charge, while the Grand Inquest is called upon very properly to do its | duty, the District Attorney is not forgotten in the same category. Gambling and lotteries, though both prohibited by law, have increased in impu- dence and operations throughout the land during the last few years. This has been mainly occasioned by the example and influence of the Art Union Aseociation, which has been encouraged by per- sons of reputation, without proper thought or reflection. The whole country has been roused of late to this subject. of the Judges and lawyers of New York manifost euch a profound ignorance of the gambling and lottery laws, we sce that in Massachusetts they are perfectly understood and enforced. Two persons have heon resently arrested in Lyna, and one in Boston, for being engaged in lottery speculations timilar in character to that of the Art Union.

The last official visit, it seems, which she has | made in Boston, was to the House of Correc- | tion—a very natura! place to investigate, because | no ove can tell how soon she may be there herself. We have some intimations, through our correspon- | dents, that the Governor of tho State, or the Mayor | of the city, is going to order out the militia and give hera military celebration ; and we haveno doubtthat | | she will pronounce with as much knowledge on the subject ¢f military evolutions and military appear- anco as she did on the exercises of the pupils of the grammar-school, or the manners of the young ladies who were marched before her byPhilosopher Emerson. Lola Montes, during her residence in Bavaria, ag the Minerva of His Majeety, has had some experi- ence in military affairs, and she is woll qualified to pronounce upon the Boston Puritans in their mili- tary uniform, It is also hinted in certain quarters, | tbat « portion of the clergy are seriously think- | ing of waiting on Lola in person, and presonting — her with an address, as the modern Magdalen, be- lieving that now that she is repentant and a peni- tent—and as, acoording to their theology, a sinner returning from the evil of her ways, is ninety-nine times more valuable than one who has never sinned— heskould be held in so much the more estimation in their pious hearts. She has been dancing, and ru- ralizing, and philosophizing, and lionizing, and mo- alizing also, at New Bedford, among the strictest sects of the Puritans, and she is going to Lowell, and toall the surrounding towns, to dance pirouettes and give examples of purity, elegance, philosophy, aud wisdom, of the most refined character, to the pretty factory girls of those places. Iudeed, the Puritans ap- pear to be getting perfectly frantic with Lola Montes, even beyond the admiration which they evinced for Fanny Elssler or Jenny Lind, or any of the monstro- sities which Barnum ever showed up in that region of this happy land. No artiste, no saint, no patriot, no philosopher, has ever overcome so many obstacles as Lola Montes has in Boston, and in its moral, lite- rary and religious neighborhood. Her success there is one of the miracles of the present day, in the science of humbug, beyond what Barnum or Kos- suth or Jenny Lind, or any other in the same line, has ever exhibited in thiscountry. We are afraid, however, that if the Countess of Landsfeld remains much longer in Boston, or that neighborhood, either she will explode, or the Puri- tans will explode, or the Bunker Hill Monument will explode, or Boston itself will explode, or there will be a volcanic eruption of some kind in that quarter, which will astonish the world, and break up all the Insuranse companies by tho losses they will sustain on the occasion. Yet, it seems thus far that the cabinet council of the Countess down in Boston have exhibited more talent than any which she has ever had—for she changes them, it is said, generally every week or ten days. Her letters, her pronunciamentos, her certificates of cha- racter and affidavits of reputation, her threats of libel suits in New York, and all her movements, present a conglomeration of advertisemente that beats Genin and Barnum all to pieces, inclading all the other advertisers of the day. She con- trives to live in a tumult of excitement, con- tention, newspaper fighting, libel suits, special threatening; and all for the purpose of bringing full audiences, to see a very bad specimen of adanseuse— even the worst that ever was exhibited in New York. We understand that she will return here in a fow days, and open her batteries on all her enemies in this quarter, with a new programme, a new kitchen eubinet, new bulletins, new dresses, and new theatri- cal pieces, that will make the town overlook her bad dancing and her meagre appearance, but cause @ pro- digious noise about horliterary, philosophical, moral, virtuous, pious, and engaging characteristics, too humerous to mention, and too expensive for exporta- tion. She is going to appear in a new theatrical piece, written expressly forher by young Mr. Ware, the son of the late sweet poetess of Boston, Mrs. Ware. In this piece, we learn that her wholo life, and ull its incidents, will be represented. The King of Bavaria, and all her lovers, living and dead, will be introduced on the stage, testifying and making aflidavits to the purity of hor charac- ter, in pretty much the same way that Willis and the other fashionable witnesses wero intro- duced to testify in the case of Mrs. Forrest. Sho also intends to introduce in the same drama her enemies and detractors, such as Epes Sargeant, Horace Greeley, Henry Raymond, and Mons. Arpin, against whom she nitends to bring libel suits, claiming damages for loss of character, in each case, to the amount of $30,000—that is to say, unless they pay up and settle in advance, in which case Lola Montes will generously make a discount of ten or fifteen per | cent on the amount of the verdict which the jury would award her in each case. On the whole, Lola Montes bids fair to be the greatest monster of a mi- racle—the most notorious notoricty that ever passed over our horizon. She is the meteor of humbug- Barnum, Koeeuth, Fanny Elssler, and all others, were only rushlights. | | | | PRESIDENTIAL, MOVEMENTS OF THE DEMocRACY.— One of those isolated movements which always take place before a Presidential election, is to come off to.morrow, at Albaay. The delegates from | the several Gongressional districts of the State will | aesemble for the purpose of selecting two Congres- sional delegates from the wholo State, for the Balti- | more Convention.

Seward and his allies, of all stripes and colors, have taken their stand. The Fugitive Slave law must be repealed at all hazards; and let any whig candidate for the Presidency place him- self upon tho “finality” of that measure if he dare. The abolition Tribune boldly throws down the gauntlet to the South. You expect peace; but there shall be no peace till that law is repealed---no peace while slavery is continued in the District of Columbia---no peace while it has a chance of creeping into the Territories--no peace in this Union while slavery exists in any part of it---no peace, till sla- very isabolished, or the Union diseolved. That is the ultimatum of the anti-slavery agitation. Seward and his party do not intend to meddle at present with slavery in the slaveholding States. The time has not yet come for that. The firet object is the repeal of the Fugilive Slave law; and the whig can- didate for the Presidexcy must leave it open for agi- tation, or abide by the consequences of endorsing it. What say the Union party of the South? Shall we have o sectional President, or a Union President? What say the Union Safety Committee of this city? Are they dissolved among the agitators, and consort- ing with them for their support? Were all the late profeseions and proclamations of this Safety Com- mittee mere pretences and humbug? Are they with the agitators, or against them? Whero are they? Now, they may do something of real service to the South and the peace of the whole country, by an ndependent Union ticket. Where are they? Let the m show their hands. Theatrical. Nimio’e Rerenn rnom Burorn.—Yesterday, Mr. Niblo, the enterprising manager of the Garden and Opera Houre, returned in the steamer from Europe, after pay- ing a visit to that continent in search of novelties in the theatrical and operatic line, His visit has been brief, rapid, and successful, as we learn. It is but the other day that he left New York, and here he is again on the ground, to give fresh inspiration and a new start to the enterprice in which he is engaged. We have not yet learned what particular engagements he has formed with the novelties in Europe; but according to all accountsand surmises, something interesting in the theatrical, opera- tic or dancing line will be announced in a very short time. The whole of Europe was before him, from which to cull and select a few favorite stars of the first magnitude. No doubt Niblo will establish the Opera on a perinanent basis in this metropolis. Among other novelties, we learn that the celebrated Thalberg, well known for his brilliant genius on the piano, intends to visit the United States in the course of a few months. It hasbeen announced in the English and French journals, that Madame Sontag was coming out in company with Thalberg on this artistic tour; but we understand there is no foundation for such a surmise. Thalberg will come to this country entirely on his own account, make his first appearance at New York, and pro- ceed to’ the other cities and sections of the country ia turn, If Madame Sontag visits this country, she will come under other aurpices, and consequently in a diffe- rent connection. ee Mails for Europe.
