The steamship Europa, which arrived at this port yesterday, brought us three days’ later, news from Europe. ‘The intelligence, in several respects, is highly interesting. The most important political topic is the disclosure ofthe contents of a diplo- correspondence between the late Prince venburg and ‘the cabinets of Berlin and St. Petersburg, in reference to the government set up by Louis Napcleon, and the prospect of his re- establishment uo empire. It appears that Schwarzenburg recommended to Russia and Prus- sia the recognition of the empire under Louis Bapoleon, in consideration of bis important ser- vices to the cause of law and erder in Ex rope, in extinguishment of those revoke | tionary clements in France which threatened to revive over ‘the whole Continent, in 1952, the revolutionary scenes of 1848. The cabi- nots, however, of Prussia and Russia, could not ecoucur with the coneiliatory suggestions of the Austrian Prime Minister. They object to the re- cognition of the empire, because it may demand the boundaries of the empire ; the military supre- macy and activity of the empire; and, above all, the dynasty of the empire. Louis Napoleon not being: a legitimist—not a sovereign by right of descent, “Dei gratia,”—they cannot admit him into the legitimate family of the despots. They appeal, therefore, to the treaties of the Holy Alli- ance, 1814-15; and their first declared object and and poliey is to keep Louis Napoleon quiet, and in the attivude of a locus tenens—a sovereign by suf- ferance for the time being. But notwithstanding this ominous position of Russia and Prussia, and the denial of the Paris Monitew”, in behalf of Louis Napoleon, he is expected, on the occasion of the grand military review of the 10th of this month, to initiate, if he does not proclaim, the restoration of the empire. Not only so, but the projected camp of 60,000 men, at Compiégne, seems to have created an impression in England that the empire will be followed up by aggressive war. Unquestionably the peace of Europe depends upon the course of France; but we presume the cmpire can and will be re-established in due season, without incurring the alternative of war, unless Louis Napoleon should desire to. proveke it—a desire which he has not yet betrayed. He evidently understands his game. The most important subject of discussion in the English Parliament, has been the question of re- has pasned bills granting thousands of acres for the * | avowed purpose of assisting in the construction of | railroads in Towa, Wisconsin, Michigan, &:., But whether these lands will, in the end, mostly benefit the roads or avaricious speculators, remains to be ascertained. measures have not boen acted on in the House ix, Tat Oi cent busy with the Nypart oy | free farm Will. affairs, it will bo reudy to give away for railroads, or any other purpose, all the land that, is left, after &e5 | Probably the reason why those hat that body has, for several weeks, been extremely Presideney, the printing, and the When tho House settles all these every head of a family it provided with a firm. tt iv not the railroads which we oppose, by any means It ie the opening of tho door, through many of these bills, to the most corrupt and unjustifiable laud ape- culations. The House of Representatives, yesterday, adopted tho resolution of Mr. Clingman, which literally pro- vides that all printing which cannot be executed by the contractor must be given to the lowest respon- sible bidder. This takes the extra jobs from the Union and Republic. The first section ef the Free Farm or Homestead bill was discussed at great length, but no vote was taken. Orson Hyde and Mr. Richards, both Mormons, have been nominated by the President to take the places of two of the judges who suddenly with- drew from Utah some time ago. | The democrats of New Jersey met in convention, | at Trenton, yesterday. Four hundred delegates | were in attendance, and much excitement pre- | vailed among the friends of Cass and Stockton. | Buchanan had a few friends among them, but | Douglas had none. Ex-Governor Mahlon Dicken- | son was present, using his influence in behalf of | Cass. Com. Stockton was also on the ground, pull- ing and hawling for himself. His friends will en- | deavor to avoid all instructions—otherwise Cass will | be the ehoice. Nearly all the delegates selected to attend the Whig Congressional Convention in the thirteenth district are said to be favorable to Scott. It is ramored that ex-Governor Richardson will be appoimted to fill the yacancy in the United States Senate occasioned by the resignation of R. | B. Rhett, of South Carolina. Quite an interesting: discussion yesterday took place in-the Methodist Conference at Boston, rela- | tive to'Rev. Ezra Sprague, who was expelled from the church some timo ago, for practicing mosmer- ism, spiritualism, and various other isms; besides all which he was accused of carrying off a load of another man’s manure. Whether he spirited it away or not, the telegraph does not say. Twenty-five thousand dollars are shortly to be divided among the incorporated hospitals of this State, in accordance with an act of last year’s Legis. lature. - Among other interesting intelligence from Mexico, it is announced that Gen. Caravajal is once more at liberty, and awaiting the arrival of three hundred Germans, prior to recommencing his jillibustering operations against the government. How he made his second escape from Gen. Harney, who was previ- ously reported to have him in safe keeping in Texas, is not stated. If Caravajal does not eventually succeed in revolutionizing the Northern portion ot Mexico, it will not be for lack of perseverance. Mrs. Mershon was yesterday run over and killed by the engine, while crossing the track .of the racuse Railroad. This is the third accident of milar kind that has happened within a few days. When will people take warning, and keep off the k? On Albany correspondent announces that the excitement to witness Lola Montes has somewhat abated in that vicinity: The rural natives do not appear to appreciate foreign talent. Among her admiring spectators, on Wednesday evening, was Senator Seward, who seems to have been highly edified. He is no doubt fully capable of apprecia- ting her merits ; besides she belongs to the “higher law” party, and generally undertakes to redress her own grievances without troubling the courts. By the decisions of the Judges of the Supreme Court of this city, deliveredfyesterday, the sentence in the cases of Clark and Sullivan, both under sen- tence of execution, have been stayed, and new trials granted. The opinions of the Judges in these cases | are very important, and will be read with much ebartering the East India Company, whose present | interest, as this is the first instance in which the charter expires in 1854. As the immense powers of this company ‘nvolve the government of one hundred and fifty millions of people, with constant annexa- tions of populous territories by fllibustering expedi- | tions, the.cubject of a new charter may well be con- sidered a grave and weighty questioa of legislation. ‘The arrival of two tons and a half of gold dust at London gle vessel from Australia, areated.a prodigious sensation in the English capital, and will no dowbt be followed up by Euglich emigrations, only exceeded hy the exodus trom Ireland to Amovica, and by speculations which | in a difference between the law of murder and man- slaughter has been clearly defined in this city ; and | the true interpretation of the words, “premeditated design,” defined by the unanimous epinion of this bench. It is impossible to conjecturo what effect this construction may have; it will not, however, reduce a killing, under such circumstances as have appeared in these cases, below the degree of man- slaughter of the very highest magnitude. We un- derstand that the District Attorney intends to apply for a writ of error, and bring these cases before the Court of Appeals, as he hag done in the will throw the great South Sea bubble inte the shade. Whatis the world coming to? The London Times has a New Yori: Correspon- dent, who gives that journal a great deal of im- | portant news from Unadilla. His last intelli- gence states that Judge Douglas is the father of the | euwpromise, and will undoubtedly be the demo- | eratic candidate, as the Democratic Review has ; ome out in his fayor, For the forcign news at large, we refer our | readers. to another portion of this paper. | Prominent among the matters of our domestic in- telligence, we spreud before our readers this morn- | ing the official correspondence of Mr. Mangum aad | Mr. Underwood, und the Secretaries’ report of the proceedings of the late Congressional whig caucus at Washington. Waile.ih papers establish pret- | ty conclusively the peint that the compromise re- Mr. solutions of | Mumphrey Marshall and Mr. | Gentry were te | ully.out of order, under the rules matter of Henry Carnell. ‘A difficulty, it seems, has occurred in the Board | of Commissioners of Emigration, respecting the re- $4,000 per annum. Mr. James Kelly and James Matthews have entered a protest against said ap- pointment. It will be found elsewhere in to-day’s paper.

We have received a communication, which will be foand in another column, from Washington, signed Yowa, which takes exception to our course in oppo- sition to the innumerable railroad land bills, whick have cither passed or are still pamding in the Senate, ‘The gentleman appears to haw misunderstood tho Perpert ofa paragraph, the ofher dwy, in which we were alluding to tho Renate proceedings, Wo spain asoors that the Seuate, at thie erssion, | Commissioners—bodies elected by the people, and | entrusted with the annual - outlay of immenso | funds—wich to throw a cloak over their preceedings and keep them from the public eye, and for that | purpose hold their mectings with closod doors.

Close of Kossuth’s Mission in this Country. ‘The Kossuth comedy in these States is approach- ing its dénouement. The curtain will soon fall—the parade vanish—the actors disappear, and the specta- tors soon forget the varied scenes of the popular pan- tomime entitled ‘‘ The Sturdy Beggar, or, the Hun™ garian Humbug.” The last acts are being repre- sented in New England, the land of steady habits. The Puritans have relaxed from their austerity, en- joyed the exhibition, and even paid liberally for the raree show. Faneuil Hall and Bunker Hill were let | out as theatres for the representation, with branch | concerns for the amusement of the factory girls of Lowell—who were, however, kept at home—and for the Salemites, of witch burning celebrity. The last scene of all, which will end this strange, eventful his- Eleet'ons of Thursday hewevehs that before he went, ho renewod his silly saddles and rusty muskets, but wo do not give this and ridiculous attacks on Judge Barculo, of Pough- | implicit credit. Kossuth has exhibited too much in raising the wind, to let the results of his industry slip so easily out of his possession. We rather doubt that this wasa mere humbug, fabricated to support the grand delusion, lull suspi- cion, create discussion, and bring more grist to the mill, Kinkel, when his mission hero was brought to a successful close, bid adieu to the land of his labors, and, being a big, sturdy follow, addicted to the good things of life, he adopted the profession which had the most charms for him, and invested his money in a porter brewery. Good for Kinkel. Kossuth, who is of a more poetical, delicate, and onthusiastie temperament, will, perhaps—if he should follow Kinkel’s example—inyest the pro- ceeds of Hungarian stock iu a great gas factory, which would be an appropriate testimonial ef the manner in which the capital was got up. The truth is, this country has been successfully deluded and victimized by Lopez, Kinkel, and Kos- suth. They would all come under the same cate- gory, but that the former evinced the sincerity of his folly, and forfeited his life to tho executioner. Kossuth has been by far the most succossful in this care the strongest, cr even the weakest, let them tory, will probably be cnacted in this city, or on | species of swindle—as such, no doubt, his mission imitate his example, and fight it out. It is impos- sible that all the bullies should be opposed to Scott. We should rather suppose that the fighting men would be on the side of the day. Upon this point, therefore, unless the Scott men and theSeward and Scott organs feel that they are in the minority, there is no occasion for these sudden expreesions of abuse, and wrath, and tribulation. | On the other point—that the time fixed for the | elections is too early in the morning for the health | and comfort of the ‘old fogies”—we cannot con- eur. Old Ben Franklin says that— “Early to bed and early to rise, Will make a man healthy, wealthy and wiso.” And physicians, philosphers, ard poets, from time immemorial, have concurred in this opinion. In | certain localities, where the early morning air is charged with malaria from stagnant swamps and | marshes, or rank and decomposing vegetation, | it is not judicious, in warm weather, to rise before the sun has dispelled the exhalations of the night— | sey nine o’c'ock in the morning. In our Southern | and Western States, we have no doubt that thou- | sands of ;eople have perished from their fatal mis. application of this maxim of early rising. The people of South Carolina are well aware of this fuct. In the lowlands of that State, the whites, in the hot season, 1ctire within doors with the fading of | the evening twilight, and do not come out until the sun has cleared the air, in the morning, of the nox- ious vapors of the night. It has been said that | the fatal iliness of President Harrison was superin- duced by his early rising, and his early morning walks along the banks of the stagnant Potomac, before the sun had inhaled its nocturnal exhala- tions. I’resident Polk suffered from chills and fevers at the White House, from his ha‘ its of early rising, | exposing him to the vapors from the river. Presi- | sident ‘Taylor would have lived longer, per- | hap, in some other locality. President Fill- | more avoided the ague in the summer of | 1850, by lodging in a cottage upon the heights of | Georgetown; and in the summer of 1851, by his | excursions to the Virginia Springs and elsewhere. | In all localities, therefore, subject to the miasma + trom swamps, stagnant water, orrank and poisonous | tion, tne maxim of early rising is a fata, max nd we are surprised that it has not been correeted, even to this day. But, if it might prove unwholesome to hold an \ election in the rice districts of South Carolina at six o’clock in the morning, even at this carly stage of the warm season, the objection cannot he applicd ' to New York. We have here no surrounding swamps and lowlands of putrid vegetation ; but the Lreezes from the ocean and the winds from the Highlands would come to us pure and bracing throughout the year, but for the dust and filth of the city, The maxim of Franklin is the maxim of life and health in these latitudes, and a walk on the Battery at sunrise, even in midsummer or the dog days, brings a wholesome appetite for breakfast. Wo know this fact from personal experience. Besides, at six o’clock in the morning tho heat and dust andstonch of our fifthy streets are not so oppressive as in the middle of the day. We maintain, then, that the call for the whig primary election of Thursday next, at six o'clock inthe morning, so far from being ‘ta cheat” or “ta fraud” or ‘a swindle,” or a bad arrange- | ment for the health of the old fogies or young fogies, | is a good, judicious, and wholesome arrangement. We have no doubt that a larger proportion of our population will be up and stirring in the open air, at six o'clock next Thursday morning, than has | been out go early for many a long day. And we | doubt not it will have a good effect in convincing many, who will try the exporiment, of the advanta- | gesof the early morning air of New York. | In a political view, however, these whig primary | elections are of the greatest importance. Jn the whig convention at Baltimore, it is highly probable | that Mr. Fillmore will carry the entire vote of every | Southern State inthe Union. It will only, then, require afew scattering votes from the Northern States, for Fillmore or Webster, to prevent the no- mination of Scott, unless he shall come up to the full endorsement of all the compromise measures | specifically, and thus utterly demolish the platform | and the schemes of Seward and the abolitionists. It | may be, indeed, that the four delegates from this| city to the convention at Baltimore, will hold the | balance of power between Fillmore and Webster on | the one hand, and Scott on the other—a power | | which will be equivalent to the ruling of the con- | vention, itscandidate and its platform. The Sew- ard organs, we suspect, are aware of this. They are | évidently alarmed. They have reason to be. They | fear that the compromfse iensures in this city are | more powerful among the whigs than Seward and | “the higher law.’ 1t is tobe hoped that such will prove to be the fact. The prosperity of thie city— | its foreign commerce—its domestic trade—its busi- | ness of all kinds, are all dependent upon the Union , and the constitution, and geod faith to our compro- mises with the South. We trust tho city whigs will muintain those great principles, and repel the abuse of the Seward organs, by defeating them at the | polls. The election of four anti-Scott and anti-Sew- | ard delegates will have a great moral effect upon the Baltimore Conventian; but, best ofall, it may have the positive power of separating Scott from , Seward, or of throwing both overboard. The elec- | tions of next Thursday will thus be of the est | importance to the whig party, and to the Union it- | self. Let all good Union whigs, therefore, be up at six o’clock in the morning, and whether for Web str or Filknore—so that Seward is defeated—a great triumph for New York, for the compromises | and for the Union, will be achie We goin for the fight,.on the side of the constitution and com- promises. | | vege oF Langer Verprer AGAINst AN Eprror.—Yester- day, Philander T.

This event is now approximat- | ing. Kossuth will soon turn his back on Boston, where his receipts have been enormous, return to | this city, and then his further stay in this country will be short indeed. But it is proper there should be a regular squar- | ing of accounts between the people of the United | States and Kossuth. The ledger should be produced, debit and credit side totted up, and a balance struck. The public should know what their contributions amount to, and for what purpose they are to be ap plied. When Kossuth arrived in this city, great ovations were made for him, as the poor exiled go- vernor of an unfortunate nation, which fought nobly for its independence, but was defeated in the strug- gle. Public corporations and private individuals | combined in expressing their sympathy toward a great man in misfortune. So far all wag as it should be, and oreditable to the sentiment of the city and nation. But when, after a short interval, Kossuth diselosed what he was pleased to call his mission for revolutionizing Europe, all the remance vanished. The thinking portion of the community felt con- | vinced of the folly and impracticability of the scheme, and that it was, besides, utterly opposed to the constitution of the republic and to the wise policy dictated to them by the fathor of his country. But Kossuth did not turn aside from his designs. He instituted plans for a begging expe- dition on a grand scale; got up an office in Broadway, over Genin’s hat store; employed artisans in en- graving plates for Hungarian bonds—with Kossuth himself, hat and feather, as a vignette—issued these scripts, redeemable one year after the estab- lishment of a Hungarian republic in nubibus, and seattered them through the country by means of agents—male and female—appointed under his su- preme authority as rightful Governor of Hungary, and who have the power of appointing collectors or distributors, with an allowance of eight and twelve per cent on the sums paid in. These agency com- missions are rather curious in their way. We give a copy of one of them:— COMMISSION. he distribution of the Hungarian loan bonds. f Pittsburg and vicinity, under the following condition: Ist. expect every week a letter from my agent. in- forming me about the proceedings of the distribution, and the probable amount of bonds required for the place, Dd.

L. KOSSUTH. Mourne, Apml 3, 1852. By these means,:and by Kossuth’s own tour through the Southern and Western States, he has suceceded in accumulating a fund of from one hun- dred and fifty to two hundred thousand dollars, with which to demolish the armies of the Czar and Haps- | burger, liberate his own beloved Hungary and all oppressed Kuropean nations from the iron grasp of despotism, and establish in them demogratie repub- lican institutions. “What great events from little causes spring!’ All this, nevertheless, he pro- poses—modest man as he is—to accomplish with his funds, muskets, saddles, and the twenty rifles he got at Whitneysville. In this begging expedition all he received was net profit—there wore no ex- penses.of travelling or board to be deducted from it+ These were defrayed by the vurious corporations who entertained himself and his suite, and no doubt these worthy burghers opened their eyes with astonishment when they saw the amount of the bills presented by the hosts of the hotels where the Governor and his troupe were entertained. The items of one of those bills, contracted in Cincinnati, | will doubtless astonish the public in the same ratio asit did the venerable fathers of the Queen City. | Here it is:— Segars, postage Ale. porter, Ke Stationery and Carriage: Barber's bill Private parlor. Private (W. uth and Suite, Parlors Nos, 43 and 44 This is « real curiosity, and ought to be put ina frame and exhibited in Barnum’s Museum.

It gives an account ofa visit to the notorious Amo- rican adventurer, the Chevalier Wikoff, who has been convicted and imprisoned there, for attempting to abduct a lady whom he wanted to marry. Our correspondent gives some rather curious and unique accounts of Wikoff and his doings, but no- thing more than what we might have expected from such an unscrupulous diplomatic knave as he ap- pears to have always been. The statement now mentioned en good authority, in relation to the HERALD, is probably the same that Thurlow Weed alluded to in ono of his letters from Genoa. It seems that there is no doubt now but Wikoff was convicted more on account of the impudent stories he attempted to pass upon the public in Italy rela- tive to his diplomatic connection with Lord Palmer- ston and Louis Napoleon, than for the real offence which be had committed in attempting to carry off Miss Gamble. We have every reason to believe that Wikoff did circulate “impudent stories of his connection with those personages, and pretended to have an intimate diplomatic connection, not only with the American government in some way, but also with the New York Henan, which occupied, as he represented to Lord Palmerston, a position in 1 the United States somewhat similar to that of the London Times in England. The tricks, assumptions, and charlatanry of Wi- | koff, are something out of the common order. Avery now and then some young American vagabond, travelling in Europe, raises funds by every.species | of falsehood, or pretends to be in some way con- nected with the Heratp or the American govern- ment in some important capacity; but Wikoff ex- ceeds all others, and has swamped himself at last, beyond redemption. Indeed, we have the best rea- sons for believing that Wikoff, before he left New | York last, prepared for all these assumptions ia ious to renew his acquaintance with us, but we pe- remptorijy declined the honor. During our recent visit to Europe, last year, when we were in Paris he again made application through some personal friends, for the renewal of our acquaintance, which himself in our way, in the streets and steamboats, and wherever he could find us, and endeavoring by all sorts of ingenious and gentlemanly methods to catch our acquaintance and notice. By accident we happened to travel with him from Havre to South- ampton in the same steamer, and on that occasion he volunteered his devotion, and assured us, in the most confidential way, that he was going to marry an immense fortune in London, and that he was then engaged in some importent diplomatic capacity by Lord Palmerston. His impudence and assumption have now received their proper reward, aud we have not the slightest doubt but his conviction has been procured more at the instance of the British Consul in Genoa, under Lord Palmerston’s influence, than in consequence of the attempt to min away with a young chicken of forty years of age, who seemed to have acted as silly as himself. Tue Hien Price or Provisions—Its Causk.— The enormous price of honsshold provisions is such as to demand our especiai notice, and an inquiry into the causes. One operating cause is the depreciation in the value of money by the large iutlux gold which necessarily finds its way here fiom San Frane cisco, and the general influence of the state of that city upon our own, and therefore, to a certain degree, constituting an analogy. Another cause lies iu the enormous and unprecedented tide of emigration— amounting to 50,600 porsons a month—which flows into this port from the whole of Europe, induced by various recent political and social causes, there being, also, at the present time,a famine in the central part of Europe and in many parts of Fran These are some of the principal causes of the pre- sent high price of provisions, and also of the increase of rents by raising the value of property; and these causes, combined with more ordinary ones, producing great commercial and mereantile activity, render it a matter of impossibility for the surrounding agri- eulluriats to keop pace with the necessarily immense demand for their produce. in the same dependent position as San Francisco. Tn London, for example, the same influence prevails, but is counteracted by the great access of railway United Kingdom and adjoining continental coasts, | and the free importation from the United States of corn, &c. The causes, therefore, admit of a simple explina- tion, and are only remediable hy a larger supply of | home agricultural produce, in the raising of which | @ vast number of destitute emigrants may be em- ployed in the farming districts, and thus, in some degree, the cause be made to alleviate the effects. Agricullure, within a reasonable distance from New York, must now, and will for some time to come, bo | Svery profitable sphere for industiy, and will amply | repny the capital invested in it, as, for produce of this nature, we shall always have to depend upon our own productions, Agricultural property is increasing in valne, and latterly at a great ratio, Aso necossmy vesult, and the agriculturiat mast aud will find it his interest to direct all his e lange, crowded, and daily growing citios.

The jury could not agree upon a verdict, and so the case stands continued. “Re Columbus Journal, alluding to the trial, says:— “There is an inherent difficulty in all this class of cases. Of course nobody doubts that Major Robin- son and others enlisted men for the Cuban expedi- tion, und we presume he does not pretend to deny it in private conversation with his friends. he has violated our neutrality laws is, therefore, well understood by the public.

But, after the bill was found, the defendaut arraigned, and the same witnesses. were ca}'ed to testify before the Court, attorneys, and the peuple, as well as the Jury, they threw them- selves on their reserved rights, and refused to tes- tify, because they said they could not do so without criminating themselves.
