The News. ‘The one week’s later European intelligence, re- ceived by the arrival of the steamships Washing‘on at this port, and the Niagara at Halifax, possosses many features of interest. Louis Napoleon, at last aceounts, was still travelling and making friends throughout France. In his speech at Bordeaux, which we publish in full, he indirectly acknow- ledges his readiness to accept the responsibilities of the Empire, and the probability now is that the great event will be promulgated early in December. True, the declaration may be made before, he hay- | our pages this morning. ing already been proclaimed Emperor by the Mayor of Sevres. The sudden speculative mania on the Paris Bourte gives token that the capitalists as well as the working classes, have every confidence in the wisdom of the young Napoleon. With the excep: tion of the popular outbreak in Italy, in which many persons on both sides were killed, including some of the Austrian soldiers who came to the as- sistance of the authorities, affairs are generally quiet throughout the European continent. Yachting appears to occupy a great degree of attention at the present time in England. The America has just beaten the crack Swedish yacht Swerige, and is now engaged for a race with two of the best Eng- ligh built vessels. We give several very interesting extracts from the London papers, relative to the voyage and unsuccessful search of Her Majesty’s ship Prince Albert after the Franklin Exploring Expedition in the arctic regions. By far the most interesting portion of the Euro, peans news, isthe commercial advices, from which we learn that there was unusual activity in the cot. ton and grain markets, and that the former had advanced one-cighth ofa penny per pound. Among the list of passengers by the steamship Niagara, we observe the name of the Hon. Abbott Lawrenec, the late American Minister to England. | Everybody will peruse, with melancholy interest, the large amount of matter we again giverespecting | the death of Mr. Webster. ‘That which will most particularly strike the at- tention of all classes of readers to-day, is the corres. pordence to be found under the telegraphic head, between Messrs. Roberts and Law, on behalf of the United States Mail Steamship Company, and Hon. | Thirteenth . | Fourteenth | Fifteenth. | Sixteenth, C. M. Conrad, the Acting Secretary of State, rela- tive to the outrage upon the steamer Crescent City, by the Cuban authorities. We have alluded to this matter in another article. Politicians, as usual, will find a great deal of in- teresting matter under the telegraphic head. The democrats of Honesdale and Pittsburg, Pa, ani | the whigs of Cold Spring and Baltimore, are re- | ported to have recently held very large and enthu- siastic meetings. In consequence of the death ef Mr. Webster, the Executive Committee of the Native American party yesterday assembled in Philadelphia, and nomi- nated Jacob Brown for President, and Reynell Coates for Vice President. Jacob is believed to be alineal descendant, on the paternal side, of the ce- lebrated John Brown. Jokn P. Hale edified his friends in Philadelphia | with a lecture last evenirg. It is understood that he will be in this city to-day. We elsewhere publish the epsech of the Governor of New Brurswick on the opening of the Lz ture of that provinee, in which he strongly urg the adoption of such measures as will secure the speedy construction of the European and North American railway, giving, as one of his reasons, the benefits to be derived by uniting the port of St. Jobn with the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the markets of the United States. It will be observed that one of the first resolutions offered in the Legislature was (me approving of the course pursued by the home government in the protection of the fisheries From the fiehing regions we learn that five schooners, belonging to Newburyport, were lost during the late gale. The schooner Caroline Knight, before mentioned as having been seized and condemned, has been sold at Charlottetown, to & company who purpose sending her to Australia A despatch from Halifax announses that the British war steamer Devastation, has arrived there with the schooner Creole asa prize. The C. British built vessel, and was reported to have been sailing under English colors, though owned by a company of Americans In addition to much other interesting maritime news, the telegraphic wires inform us that the schooner Lucy, bound from Providence to Mobile, encountered a severe gale, and was wrecked near Barnegat, on Tuesday night. Those on board took to the boat, but, unfortunately, when near the shore, the vessel capsized, and three of them were drowned. The remainder have arrived at Phila del phia The propeller Vermont, heavily laden with flour and other produce, wae entirely consumed by fire, while lying at her dock, in Grand River, Canada West, on Tuesday mornin She belonged to the Cleveland and Ogdensburg line, and wag bound to the latter port.

On Friday of this week, that being the day for the funeral in Boston, the Common Council have recommended the closing of stores between the hours of twelve and two o'clock, and have also ordered the church bells to toll in memory of the illustrious dead. Assistant Alderman Brastow, of the Nineteenth | ward, died at his residence yesterday. Both boards of the Common Council met last evening, and adop!- ed the customary resclutions of respect to the memo- H ry of their late associate, as will be seen by the offi- | cial report of the proceedings, given in another page, ‘The very curious action, for malicious prosecution, is still occupying the attention of the Superior Court in this city. According to the report of the case, Some of the lawyers have got into @ regular snarl among thems¢lves. On the arrival of the steamship Washington, yes- terday, her captain, purser, and first mate, were ar- rested, and the vessel was seized, by order of the United States Marshal—the parties having been in- dicted by the Grand Jury for smuggling, on five dif- ferent voyages. The officers were admitted to bail | in the sum of five hundred dollars each. Commercial prospects are considered favorable. Our ship owners, after having experienced a long period of depression in freights, seem to have ar- rived at a turning point. The great diversion of English tonnage for Australia, together with the calls for California and Southern ports, seems likely largely to contract the number of vessels available for European porte, and consequently rates have gone up to 2s for flour to Liverpool, and to 4d. for cotton, and to about 7d. for grain. A turning point, it is believed, has also been passed in breadstuffs, which have for some time ruled lower in proportion than provisions; and consequently, while the latter is now declining, the former is improving, and from this time forward, exports are expected to be largor, and prices to rule higher for the remainder of the season. Cotton is heavy, temporarily, on account of the large receipts at New Orleans; but it is be- lieved the cold season is now so far advanced that its growth henceforward has ceased, and the erop will not likely exceed the future consumptive de- mand. Naval stores have reached the highest point attained for years, and fears are entertained that prices cannot be maintained for any groat length of timo. We publish a report of the interesting exami- nation of the pupils in the schools of the Dutch Retormed Church, in Lafayette place. The exer- cises were held last evening, and passed off in a most satisfactory manner. Owing to another tremendous pressure of adver- tisements, we have no room to refer to much inte- resting telegraphic, local, and other matter given in New York In 1852—Progress and Destiny of the Empire City. New York in 1852! There is no such spectacle of material progress and prosperity on the face of the globe, as the rapid expansion and improvement of our Empire City. The great metropolis of this continent, with its vast arteries of commerce ex- tending ‘‘over the land and over the sea,’ and gathering within itself the solid and substantial bu- siness elements of London, and the gaieties and fas- cinations of Paris, its ultimate destiny, with the preservation and expansion of our federal Union, is that majestic position of the great metropolis of the world. From time to time, for several months past, we have published catalogues of the new buildings in progress in various parts of the city; and we con- clude the enumeration to-day, with a list of the im- provements for the current season in the Twentieth ward; and the following is a recapitulation of all the improvements, as far as collected, within the limits of the corporation, to wit:— RECAPITULATION, Streets and Wards. No. of Buildings. Value. Broadway....... cer $1,990 000 | Fifth avenue 1,330,000 192 000 185,000 88 900 Seventeenth MOU ssi otsieeveacocces cs ++ 1478 ‘These improvements are of a mach higher order, in every quarter, than those of any previous seasoa. The outlay of capital upon new buildings, in maay instances, at a first glance appears indeed lavish and extravagant, almest to wastefulness. But when we consider that the first result of this prodigality is the increased employment which it gives to out worthy and industrious mechanics and laborers, and that the improvements themselves are generally gra- duated to the increased rents which they will yield, we can only say, and we respond heartily, go on with your marble palaces, and brown stone fronts, and Roman and Greek styles, and Roman- esqne, and Arabesque, and burlesque; let the cash | circulate, and let the city prosper. Broadway, our great and swarming thoroughfare, | Stands most conspicuous in the heavy business of tearing down and building up.

On the Fifth avenue, where the buildings are al residences or churches—where the smell of codfish is confined to the kitchen; on the Fifth avenue, tacred to the men of trade, who have ‘ made their pile,” or expect to make it, the new houses are of the high-toned aristocratic order, regardless, gene- rally, of all architectural rules; but absolutely startling to the houseless pedestrian, from their cost- liness. Not eo, in the good old Bowery, where the | store and the family residence, sometimes of seve- ral families, are under the same roof, and where one mey make his purchases of dry goods, clothes, or millinery, and inhale from the back room the aro- ma of a good dinner at the same tine. But even the Bowery has been invaded by aristocratic notions ag ie betrayed by the various brown stone fronts which are creeping in there to destroy the other- wise perfect equilibriam of the sturdy democracy The First ward stands pre-ominent for Wall street, and the heavy commercial streets by which it is sur- rounded. Banks and brokers, stock jobbers and shavers, bulls and bears, goslings and lame ducks, are the lords of Gotham. Not much room in this ward for new buildings, exeept by first tearing down good old ones. Consequently, the improve- ments bere are limited, as they are also in the Se- cond ward. The Third ward tells a different story ‘The various liner of ocean eteamers, whose docks are along the North river, the vast incoming and | outgoing troffie by the Hudson and the Erle canal, fond the biete rativad, wali fox sures, slores, awres, | tice which he had suffered. | by the ingratitude of those for whom he had lived, and in | $14 239 100 | moet heavily upon the Third ward. The result has been the rebuilding, in a most costly style, whole streets of stores, of brown stone and marble fronts, of six stories and upwards in bi The Fourth ward, on the east side of the city, is behind band; in the Fifth the improvements are | limited; in the Sixth, the fountain of justice and crime, distinguished for the Five Points and the Tombs, the Park, the City Hall and its adjuncts, the improvements are of the most important kind, being public buildings, and the New Haven and Harlem Railroad depot, which covers an entire equare, and is eo constructed as to appropriate the three upper stories on each of the four fronts to offices, workshops, and factories. The improvements in the Seveath ward are on a small scale, and also in the Eighth ; but in the Ninth, they are on an extensive scale, consisting partially of first class houses, and largely of cheap tenements for the ac- commodation of those classes who are the producers and the builders of cities everywhere. In the Tenth ward, the improvements are mostly stores ; in the Eleventh and Twelfth, and Thirteenth and Four teenth, of good substantial dwelling houses, 2ad modest tencments. In the Fifteenth, the ‘ mer- | chant princes” have taken hold, in very extensive rarges, of new houses of the first order, with rich, imposing brown stone fronts, and boautifully cut andornamented. In the Sixteenth and Seventeenth wards, some of the buildings are costly, and others are quite the reverse, though the aggregate is large. The Eighteenth ward, however, takes the first premium for the improvements of the year, which will amount te nearly five hundred houses, and an outlay exceeding four millions of dollars. The im- provements in the Nineteenth are not se numerous. For those of the Twentieth, we refer the reader to the list, which we publish elsewhere in our columns to-day. The grand aggregate for the city, as sammed up from the statistics we have published, amounts to over a thousand buildings, at a total cost exceeding fourteen millions of dollars; and yet, we believe, theee figures are too small. We venture to say that the entire list of new buildings, of all kinds, within this city, erected, or in course of completion, during the current year, will rise above Aifteenhundred, at a total cost of at least twenty millions of dollars! At this rate of progress, moving onward with an accele- rated momentum every year, who can estimate the real ostate and population of New York for the year 1900, or even at the next census of 1860? And to what do we owe allthis? To the Union, and the Compromises of the Constitution, which bind the Union together—to Southern slavery and Southern commerce—to the acquisition of Fiorida, Louisiana, Texas, and last, though not least, to California, and the gold trade of San Francisvo. Thus the policy of sustaining the constitution, and of maintaining all its compromises, and the saga- cious policy of widening its boundaries, have made New York whatit is—the great metropolis of Ameri- ca. In abiding by the Union and the constitution, in giving encouragement to that liberal and expan sive policy which has redounded so much to our | prozperity, national and local, wo have the seoret of | the continuance of our unexampled progress. Tho | great and glorious destiny of New York can only be , arrested by giving countenance to those abominable fanatics, demagogues and agitators, whose object is to destroy the Union, that they may rise tosomeim- portance on its ruins. The interests ef New York and of the Union are the same. Tuat WessTer LETTER—WRiITTEN, BUT ‘‘ NEVER Sicxsp.”—When we gave notice’to the public, some days ago, that a committee from the Seward- Scott whigs of this city had been to Marshfield, for the purpore of extorting from Mr. Webster a death- bed approval of the nomination of Gen. Scott, we did not speak uponmere rumor or conjeoture. More than this, it would appear that somo sort of a let- ter, by some desperate expedient upon the gene- rosity of the dying man, had been obtained. Now, we call the attention of our readers to the following startling confessions from the Courier and Enquirer of yesterday morning, in confirmation of all that we have said, and something more. First, our Wall street cotemporary, while urging the claims of Gen. Scott, confesses to the lamenta- ble consequences of the heartless work at the Balti- more Whig Convention, in the following plain lan- guage:— Mankind in the mass, are proverbially ungrateful and unjust; and when, in June Jest Daniel Webster was made the vic'im ox this ingratitude, on the patt of those whom he had most served, it would be idle, as it would be false, to pretend that he did not feel—deeply feelethe iajns- His great heart was pierced whose service he has died, and the Almighty Ruler of the Universe alone knows how much bis days were short- ened by the events to which we allude. The Courier then turns State’s evidence against the committee of five of the extraordinary and cruel | mission to Marshfield, and, in the following direct testimcny, makes a elean breast of its personal agency in the business :— But whatever the extent of his sufferings fram the in- gratitude of his countrymen, such was his devotion to the constitution, and to those great whig principles which he deemed escential to its support, that but a tow days previous to his death he dictated a letter to five of | his early friends, of which we were one, recognizing the obligations of the whig party to sustain the nominee of the Baltimore Convention, even while he deprecated, as he ever has done, the too frequent practice of elevating military chieftains to the Presidency—a practice which, harmless as yet, is fraught with danger to the future; and which, thercfore. should not be perpetuated by pre. cedents which will im time exercise a dangerous influence upon the stability of republican institutions That | +t- ter, although dictated from what proved to bee bed of |, and in full view of his responsibilities in this world and that upon which he has so speedily enters: never signed. Its binding iniluence. however. no will dispute; while its wirdom. with God's sanction, will, we hope, be recognized in all future time. Mark the words: ‘A few days previous to his | | death, he dictated a letter to five ofhisearly friend The Did of which we were one.”’ Gen. Webb was one. How? require certain modificatiens to be made ; or was the letter taken down, word for word, as he dictated it? In either case it was a cruel operation—cruel to the last degree pose, when he was besieged by that committee of five—those five self-constituted inquisitors—and re- quired to retract the sentiments of his whole life in regard to military chieftains for the Presideney--to fall back from the stern and inflexible position which he had taken against the military decree of the whig perty at Baltimore, and to surrender to Seward and Company, after having been sacrificed by them upon | the altar of the constitution. Was not that a spec- tacle of cruelty, and was it not calculated to prove | more painful to Mr. Webster, than all the physical | agonies which he suffered during his whole sick- ness? There can scarcely be a doubt upon this me- jancholy question. But it appears that the letter “was never signed.” Why “never signed?” Perhaps the victim of the committee of five asked for alittle delay—a brief ar- mistice—a respite of a day or two, before signing the heavy capitulation. It appears that he was al- lowed to capitulate with some of the honors of war, with his flag and his side arms; but, alas, for the pa- triotic and magnanimous committee, of which the editor of the Courier was one—alas, for the schemes of trading politicians, the letter “was never signed.” It appears that Mr. Webster insisted in “depreca- ting military chieftains” for the Presidential ofice, as fraught with danger to the country, asa sine yua non even to an extorted acquiescence in the Balti- more whig nomination. But as the letter was never signed, it isa nullity, a nonenity, a thing without existence, in any practical view. not intend to sign it. Who knows? It only needs now the publication of that letter, “ never signed,” to complete the sad record of Mr. Webster's wrongs, Shall we havo that letter? Has not our neighbor of the Courier a copy of it?” Why not give it to the public that they may see the letter which Mr. Web. ster never signed ?

Porter, late in command, behind to take charge of the Georgia, which does not touch at Havana. But will the Crescent City be admitted, the dreadful Purser Smith being still on board? The new commander is Lieut. Davenport, of the navy, & younger man than Captain Porter, but, according to report, none the less gallant and decided in his cha- racter. What the Cuban government will gain by the change remains to be seen. Our readers, we believe, will not peruse with less surprise than ourselves the answer of the Acting Sceretary of State to the inquiries of the United States Mail Steamship Company, published under the telegraphic head in this morning’s paper, in re- lation to the Crescent City.and the other ships of the company. After one of their steamers has been twice conee- cutively driven out of the harbor of Havana, with- out being allowed to land its mails or passengers ; after numerous prior insults to American citizens ; after two applications to the Secretary of State, or his substitute, on the 6th and 23d of October, re- spectively; after public indignation had been roused to the highest pitch, and only allayed by the assu- rance in the papers of the “ high ground” the ad- minietration was about to take, and of the “ enor- getic measures” it was going to assume; and, lastly, after waiting one and twenty days, comes Mr Acting Secretary C. M Conrad’s answer. In reply to the inquiry whether the Cuban au- thorities will be permitted to exclude passengers and mails, and to continue with impunity their insults and annoyances to American citizens, Mr. C. M. Conrad, in point of fact, informs Mr. George Law— of what? Of the government's interpretation of the question, or of the vigorous measures to obtain redress it promises to pursug? Not atall; but only, after all this delay, that the department has had no means of ascertaining from Cuba the opinions or in- tentions of the authorities of that island! So that American citizens, asking of their govern- ment the interpretation of their rights, when inter- rupted without provocation in the peaceful pursuits of a legitimate commerce, are to be referred by that government to the opinion and decision of the ag- gressor and delinquent of whom they have been complaining. So that, instead of pretecting our citizens, the interests of our commerce, and the honor of our flag, against this unprovoked aggres- sion, the administration should actually, whilst de- ceiving the country by false preteaces, be siding | with the Cuban authorities, and apologizing to them for the injuries and insults inflicted on us by them. Truly, it is ofa piece with the miserable diplomatic bungling of this weak administration, that it should have ordered Licutenant Porter—who had only done his duty, and against whom no charge was made— from the Crescent City to the Georgia, whilst cover- ing up the meanness of this concession by falscly alleging that it was at his own request. But what are we to say, and what will his fol- low-citizens in Louisiana say, to Mr. Acting Se- eretary Conrad’s defiant identification with this business, after the strong expression of public feel- ing and the marked excitement on tho subject in his native city? Whereis Mr. George Law? Why does he not come forward? Let us hear of him in Tammany to morrow night. Let us have the mat- ter out clearly and boldly. Perhaps we shall. Aveest BELMONT AND THE Fourrerites—A Cuncner —The following sp'cy paragraph from the letter of Mr. August Belmont to Master (iree- ley, embodies, we suspect, the true reason for its refusal at the Tribune office :— A few years since the candidate of your patty for the office of President would bave proscribed me, on account of my being s foreigner by birth. It is not convenient fot you now to take thie ground. That is what wo call a clincher, and quite suf- ficient justification for the ‘foreigner by birth” in refusing to vote for General Scott. The whole posi- tion of Mr. Belmont in politics, as he has laid it down, is not only an excusable but a highly credit- able position. It smacks of independence and true progressive go-ahead American principles, in stand ing out, against the mass ofthe bulls and bears, | and stockjobbers, for Picfce and King. It is re- markable~ it is a curiosity in politics. It is a case which, among the ragcalities of Wall street, stands out like an oasis in the desert. It is refreshing. It was but the other day that we heard that Kossuth ‘was negotiating with Louis Napoleon to crush th® house of Austria. Now, it appears the agent ofthe Rothschilds has ret himself up against the com- bined powers of Wall street, banks, bank organs, British bankers, and all, for the progressive democ- | racy. Truly, it is a comfortable thing whena man | can afford to be a cemocrat, even among the stock- jobbers. Truly isthis a great country. Tur Horny ALLIaNcy or TeMPERANCE—WHAT IS THE Marter Now1--It will be in the recollection of every reader that a few months ago the New York Tribune came out rabidly in favor of tho movement of the Holy Alliance of Temperance, de- nounced brandy, wine, and other liquors, as deadly poizon, and held up to public infamy every per- Maine Liquor law, and threatened, if the law should be carried, to carry out its provisions at the poiat of the bayonet. Greeley himself, in propria persona, spouted at the meetings of the Alliance, and gave all his pereonal influence and all the support of his paper to the cause. Whut is his course now? Ia the leading article of yesterday’s Tribune he de- nounces the Holy Alliance, and says--“*The whole business of nominating temperance candidates for | the office of a Congressman, Sheriff, Judge, or | County Clerk, is grossly impertinent and absurd.” He describes the Alliance as a ‘‘secret caucus,” a | “ hackstairs coterie,” and calls upon the people not to permit them to guide them. He winds up the anathema by designating them ‘as a knot of self | constituted cersors, dealing damnation round tho land.” Tribune, in reference to the Holy Alliance? Por- haps he found he could not manage the vote for the whigs, and that the leaders kicked against him. It is well known that the temperance movement, as | well as the other isms of which the Tribune is the leading organ, is using up the whig party very offectually. Hine ille lachryma.
