THE NEW YORK WEEKLY ‘The mali steamsbip Obio will leave this port at tre @elock to-morrow afternoon, for Arpinwall, with the | Preet bed arrived at Fort Smith, with the intelli- amaiic for the Pacific. The New Yous Weenny Heasun, ‘witb the latest news, will be published sf ten o'clock im Me morning The News. By the arrival of the steamship albatrons, from Bovifax, and by the telegraphic wires, we are en abled to lay before our readers @ great deal of very Amteresting matter concerning the fishery difficulty with the British Provinces. Among other things, ‘we obrerve that two vessels have alrealy boon Pcted out at New Brunewick, for the expres# parpore ef checking the encroachments of the French fisher- men It would thus appear that the Americans ese net to be the only onve driven from the ground Inder d, judging from the tone of the provincial pres, 28 well us the official documents elsewhere given, the sole cause of the trouble with our Beighbers on the other side of the St. Lawrence, woe their anxious desire for reciprocal trade with us, eombined with their opposition to the French fieher- men 1s will be seen that the inhabitants of the pro- vineca are particularly desirous, in their potition to Ae Queen on the subject, that the Americauvs should ontipue to fish in the waters thereabout; but, at the sawe time, they avoid alluding tothe French, from whom they derive no advantage in the way of taade; while, on the other band, it is @ well estab- Fished fact that they reap many perquisites from the Americans, by ihe sale of produce, the right of @aring fith on shore, &e, in addition to which very large number of them gain a livelihood by Being employed on board of our vossels. They seem to understand perfectly well that the withdrawal @f tbe American fisbermen from their coasts will veallg be an almost insurmountable lors to them. This fichery affair was the cause of considerable @iveussion, and no little excitement, in the United Butes Senate yerterday—a message having beon weceived from the President, transmitting all the Official correspondence appertaining thereto. Our Senators evince a determiaution not to be driven in this matter, come whet may, and will oppose any treaty touching reciprocity in trade, or anything else, on the part of the Executive, that will in any way interfere with the rights of the legislative Branch of the government concerning the regula- tion of the revenue la The speeches of Messrs. Case, Davis and Homlin, on this subject, are parti- eularly striking, and will be read with attention. Some very interesting iuformation toaching this controversy with the provinces, will be found in the despatch from our special Washington corres- pondent. eonsidersble animation into the executive officers, and tbut the clerks in the State Department have been buey copying documents, night and day, eince Saturday. Secretary Corwin, it is reiterated, visited Canada at the request of the President, for the ex press purpore of guining informution on the subject, and everything i as been done to get at the bot- tom of all the facts. Secretary Webster's views ‘upon the question seem to have been entirely thrown overboard, and the President now evinces & determination to act for himself in the matter. Is is strongly suspected, and not withous gool Teason, according to our correspondent, that this fishery dispute was funved into flame by an Ameri- av citizen, who was desirous for reciprocal trade wich the Canadians. This gentleman, however, has evidertly mistaken his bearings, by endeav fo push things to extremes, and in the end may fied thathe jumped cut of the frying pan into the fire.” One thing is very certain—the best in- formed men in Washin to have no idea that the dispute is of sufficient mag- witude to lead to a war, although it may eventually e@aure a vast deal of diplomatic negotiation The House of Meprosentatives, yesterday, very prudently resolved to cut off all further Buncombe speeches on the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill. One gentleman, Mr. Joboson, of Ga., was very desirous of gratifying his constituents by de- Mvering bis views on the Presidential question; but as tbe constituents of ether members expected them to attend io the public business, he could not be gratified. Why does he not print bis speech, as other sensible members have dove? It would save fime, and be fully as serviccable. After wading {hronugh several amendinents to the bill in questioa, ond upproving of one appropriating $75,000 towards xeplenishing the Congressional library, the body adjourned. ‘The steamehip Hermann, arrived carly yesterday, Drought four days’ later news from Europe. The mapagement of the Hermann, under her present commander, Lieut. Higgins, and the head engineer, Mr. Gallagher, bas justly attracted the attention of the public at both sides of the ocean, as testified by the complimentary testimonials conferred upon the commander and his vealous officers. The regularity of her movements result more from the interior economy of the vessel, than from her mould or out- lines; end the triumph he has achieved over for- mer disadvantages, leaves no doubt upon the most skeptical that experience is the best reformer and regulator of the great machinery by which her move. -qmwents are controlled. The consumption of coal by the Hermann, under this principle, has been reduced avom 900 to 600 tons—the intermediate balance a: Vording one foot of draught; consequently, her oa; 0, upon this inward voyage, amounted to nearly | ‘ 700 tons, independent of 1,649 packages and 289 | ONC eetion of Congress, of which we have any re- | collection, for the last one hundred years.

Acting Colonial fee, God pave the Queen! Colonial Seeretary’s Office Jane 17, 1862, | Belize, British Honduras. Here we have # solemn notice that ‘ Her Most Gracious Majesty, the Queen, has been pleased” to establi-h thie new colony. And where is itt the Bay of Honduras—a small cluster of islands, to be eure; but an excellent foothold for future en- | croachments. They constitute a capital naval sta- tion, for of supplies, &o., in the event of war; for, with the islaud of Jamaica on the epporite | side, in their occupation, the British may now shut up the Southern outlet of the:Gulfof Mexico almost completely, between Cuba and Yucatan, | or render it certainly very hazardous for an Ame- | rican vessel to attempt to pass through those straits. At the northern poss, a fleet of observa- tion between Cuba and the Florida Keys would lock up the gulfentirely, and reduce our vast com- merce therein, at both extremities, to the pressure of praetical blockade. In this view, Her Majesty's new Colony of the Bay Islands, on the west flank of the outlet of the Gulf of Mexico into the Carribean fea, with Jamaica on the cast flank, isa little colony of some maritime and military importance. It is of that clase of points of occupation of which Gibral- tar, the Island of Malta, and the Cape of Good Hope, are the most conspicuous—the points which command the great channels of the world’s com- merce. The establishment of this Colony of the Bay Islands, therefore, is a sagacious stroke of commercial and military policy on the part of her Majesty’s government. Nor is this all. It is but the beginning of the ending. For the last half dozen years the iatrigues and intermeddling tricks and conspiracies of Bri- tish official agents and secret spics, in all parts of Central America, have been so impudent and reck- less as to betray the ultimate design of the sove- reign occupation of a large portion, if not of the Late advices from Texas represent that General Smith is using bis endeavors to check the murder- ous operations of the Mexicans and Indians on the Rio Grande. It ie bigh time. We are torry to learn, by aderpatch from Albany, thet Mr. R. Sands, the equestrian, met with a fatal accident at Wolcott, in this State, on Saturday last, Being bantered, be undertook to perform bis aoti- podeon feat upon the ceiling in the Court House, when tbe plastering gave way aud he fell distance of eighteen feet to the floor, by which hie neck wat broken, and be died immediately. It is very strange that a performer of Mr, 8.’s reputation, should bave undertaken such a hazardous task. The arguments produced last evening, at the meeting beld at Lafayette Hall, against the rail- road project in Broadway, are well deserving of the attention of every citizen. To us, at least, they appear to be unanswerable ; and it is to be hoped that such a piece of destractive vandalism as turning the noblest street in any city in the world into a railroad, to fill the pockets of « few speoula- tors, will never be to erated by the inhabitants of New York. Jt would be the very climax of dis- grace During the meeting of the Board of Aldermen, last Monday c®ening, an unusual amount of business was transacted, as might have been seen by our re- port, and last night such was the despatch with which every subject was acted upon, thatthe Board, having dieposed of all the papers before it, adjourned til] the first Monday in September. Thus the whole labor of eight evenings was accomplished in two, and about ¢560, the salary for six meetings, saved to the city. The whole number of papers, iaclud- ing resolutions, petitions, &e., disposed of by the Board at its two meetings, was 139. There was very little discussion among the members, every subject being acted upon with almost entire una- pimity In the Board of Assistant Aldermen, last night, an objection wae made to the confirmation of the minutes of the previous evening, on the ground that Mr. MeConkey’s vote had not been counted. The President entertained the motion, but on a division it was negatived, and the minutes were affirmed. Mr. O'Brien brought forward a very important mo- | tion for the sppointment of # committee, witha view to ameliorate the present deplorable condition of poor emigrants, who, in consequence of the closing of the Canal and Centre streets depots, are left de- solate, destitute, and devoid of the common necer- | saries of life, and wandering #bout the strects day | aud night, without food or shelter. No action was | taken upon this philanthropic motion. It was laid upon the table | <A convention of the Judiciary will be held this | day (Wednceday) at Albany. The judges of the Supreme Court, of the Superior Court, and of the Common Pleas, of this city and county, left town yesterday evening, for the purpose of attouding the convention, at which new rules of practice for the civil courts of this State will be adopted. As usual, our pages this morning contain a great amount of highly interesting matter, to which we have not room to particularly refer, among which | is the following:—The capsizing of the revenue cut- ter Taney, and of five men; letters from Quebec, | Bangor, Niagara Falls, and Saratoga Spriogs: a | table exhibiting the recent perform brated yacht America; a communication concerning rofety to steamboats; theatrieal and musical no- tices; a Jerge number of local and miscellan iteme; monetary, commercial and shipping repe | &e , &e.—the whole forming one of the most com- | plete newspapers of the age Jo # of the ce ADJOURNMENT OF Concunss.—The two Houses of Congress have agreed to adjourn on the Slst instant. This give them four weeks yet to work up the indispensable business of the seesion, Which is the appropriation bills, including, by all means, thor own pay and mileage, if everything else goes by the board. But beyond the appropria- tion bills we must not expect much; and the lees, perbeps, the better. It is certeinly a matter of very little regret that the various railroad stock jobbing and rpeculating echemes introduced into the House have gone by the board, in the detail and in the ag gregate, one by one, and finally all ina lamp. Tus free farm or Homestead bill, in the Senate, giving to all actual settlers, on the public lands, the free gift of a form, and Mr Bennett's land distribution bill, for the division of some sixty-five millions of acres of public lands among the several States, and all the otber multifarious echemes fur squandering away the public domain, will now, we suspect, be | \ } superseded, and set aside, for want of time, or laid on the table, or rejected. Most likely, with a multitude cf other bills on different eubjecte, these land bills will be loft as un- finished busingee, coming up duly in order at the next eession as a continuous part of the present Congress. But, as far as the prosent session i+ con- cerned, we apprehend that the Homestead bill and the grand land distribution bill, and the plaadering stock jobbing railroad bille, are all laid on the shelf. ‘Thus for, the present scssion has been tho daliest, mort stupid, useless, idle and unprofitable, of any ae entire Isthmus of Central America. These in- trig’ nd conspiracies have been backed up by British fleets in both oceans, among other things, compelling, at the cannon’s mouth, the commercial ships of the United States to pay tribute to a deputy of the King of the Mozquitoes. Under cover of an international treaty in refer- ence to the Nicaragua inter-oceanio canal, we find England at length condescending to take our govorn- ment into co-partnership in the management of Central American affairs. But the Clayton treaty, by which both parties are excluded from eolonizing or attempting any juriwdiction over tho territories of Central America, not being satisfactory to her Ma- jeety’s sgents, is openly violated. An explanation follows; but it becomes necossary to have a new un- derstanding, and Mr. Crampton takes the initiative in submitting his protocol for a sort of joint protec- torate, to Mr. Webster. Thehigh contracting par- ties upon this happy idea proceed to regulate all the internal disputes between the States of Central America, and especially their boundary disputes; and it is highly probable that, from the necessity of the ense, all parties will be perfectly satisfied with played by the owners and officers of the doomed vessel. We learn that en Monday an engineer went down as @ witness for the prosecution, to examine the machixery before it wae distarbed, and on look: ing into the fluc, Le found it completely choked | with pieces of coal, eo that in ease of a strong Ore the flame must have been thrown back, and consequently spread around the wood work. This shows » state of neglect highly culpable Tho evidence is so strong that this boat was in the habit of taking fire, tand the fact will not be die puted by the defence. So often did it oveur, that the pilot seems to have thought nothing about it, though the passengers were in such » state of ex- citement. When the alatm was given, be paid no sitention to it; when it became more menscing, be went down to see what it was all about; bat on returning, kept the boat on her course, till the clerk came to him, and told him the fire could not be controlled. He then steered for the shore. Had he done so when the boat firet took fire, as he ought to have done, he could have easily made the regular landing at Yonkers, and perhaps not a human being would have perished. But the idea was, that the race must be maintain- ed at all hazards, though five hundred victims should be immolated in one sacrifice. We learn, upon good authority, that the Heary Clay being started asthe bully of the North river, the owners-of the Reindeer were compelled to with- draw her rome months ago, in order to avoid col- lisions, which they saw were inevitable from the determination evinced by the managers of the Clay. This, we understand, will be distinctly proved on the trial. The card of the owners and captain that thore were two good boats on board to save the lives of the passengers, is contradicted by the most inda- bitable testimony. To persons in such danger a3 they were, tho first thought gould be a small boat. They looked everywhere, and eaw none, simply be- cause there was none. Racing as the Clay was, she did not want to carry unnecessary weight or to bo encumbered with emall boat It has been stated that everything was done by the owners and officers that could have been done. Wo should like to be informed what was done? There was one thing, that in tho absence of life-’ boats, and with such a determination to race, ought surely te have been provided, but was not, and that isa fire engino, The western boats, which race so much, are for the most part supplied wish a fire en- gine, which is worked by the machinery of the steam engine, and is capable of flooding the whole vessel in a few minutes. Had such a proteetion as this been placed on board the Henry Clay, tne pro- bability is that the fire would have been subdued without damage or loss of life. The statement that the engineer and pilot re- mained at their posts, has been refuted by the testi- mony of Mr. De Peyster, before the coroner of West- chester county, on Monday. As for the exertions of the captain, it is notorious that he abandoned the wreck at once, and came down in the Armenia to publish a statement that there were only ten women and children lost, and that, of course, was all their own fault. The cool indifference to loss of the arrangement which is understood to have been made between Mr. Webster and Mr. Crampton, ag ington. Now, we apprehend that this whole business will ultimately result in a ceasion of @ portion, and an important portion, of Central America to Great Britain, as the cheapest alternative of escaping the Gifficulties of which this nest egg is dostined to be the fruitful source. A joint protectorate with Great Britain signifies no betrer pacific finality than an ultimate division ofthe territory between tho protecting parties. Such are the consequences of a want ofa little deci- sion, firmness, and independence, in our last two or three administrations. The enforcement of the Monroe doctrine of foreign non-intervention in the domestic affairs of the independent States of North Awerica, would have been the true policy to pur- sve. The abandonment of that doctrine, and worse than all, a copartnership with Great Britain, over the Central American States. is full of trouble and mischief. What the next administration may do bee comes an interesting question. If it follows the poliey of Mr. Webster and Mr. Clayton, the next etep will be @ treaty for the joint protection of Mexico, preparatory to a division of that republic between Great Britain and the United States. The preclamatien of this new colony of Her Bri- tannic Majesty of the Bay Islands, is but the initia tory movement to more enlarged operations.

The question recure—will justice be done, or will the whole of this tragedy be turned into a farce in our courts of justice ? It will be perceived that the Wostchester jury at avery advanced hour returned a verdict which is very good so far, but which we hope will not turn out to be a brutum fulmen. The United States Courts, however, have taken up the matter with vigor, and we trust they will carry it through in the same spirit. Tux Nort Caxouina Exrorion.—The State election in North Carolina, which will take place to-morrow, embraces many important features, not only in the questions at issue within the boundaries of the State, but in the bearing they will have upon the Presidential canvass. A Governor and members of the Legislature are to be chosen; and the most important local question involved is the property qualification in voting for State Senators. Tae democratic candidates rally under the standard of free enfirege, while a portion of the whigs, although professedly in favor of constitutional reform, do not avow themselves opposed to the qualification clause. The present Governor, David 8. Reid, is a democrat, but was elected two years ago, more on account of the personal unpopularity of his competitor, and a disaffection in the whig ranks, than on the strength of his party. He is now a candidate for reelection; and if North Carolina should again honor bim, and elect a major- ity of the democratic candidates for the Legisla- ture—or even if the State should fall wholly into the hands of the whigs by a very close yote—it | would brighten the prospects of Pierce and King, and give increased assurance to the democratic party throughout thé Union—based on the fact that tome of the whig papers, while they give a hearty support tothe whig State ticket, refuse to place the newe of General Scott upon their banners. The State bas uniformly voted for whig Presidential electors eince 1856, when it gave Martin Vau Buren @ majority of 3,€00, although two months previous the whig State officers were elected by a nearly equal majority. On the Legislature about to bo elected—which also gives increased importance to the canvase-—will devolve the selection of a United States Senator. Under these considerations a great deal of eagerness will be manifested, and all eyes will be turned to the regalt of the North Carolina election.
