The news from Havans, reveived last night over the wires from Charleston, is very exciting, and of the highest importance.

This looks mysterious.

In France the Senate had assembled and held a consultation with regerd to the empire. The Rarsian and Prussian ministers had been ordered by their respesttive governments to return to their posts at Paris, whieh ‘s an ix ion that the new emperor will not port meet with so much opposition from the other crown- | ed heads as had been anticipated. Some of the proscribed French so: ists, at the hoad of wh is Victor Hugo, have issued a sort of pronunc mento, in which they advise their countrymen to abstain from voting for the empiro. Spain has sent five hundred more recruits to assist in protect- ing the island of Cubs from fillibustering expe tions. They may be either too late or too weak, in ease any more insults cre offered to the American @ flag. Tho Liverpool markets remaiped about the | same as per the advices by the Atlantic. If any- thing, grain was in better demand, but cotton was decidedly dull. Five days’ later advices from Buenos Ayres in- form ws that on the Ith ult , during the temporary absence of the new dictator, Urquiza, an attempt was made in that city to overthrow bis government What was the result of the movement is, as yet, un- known, although it was generally posed that a civil war would follow. But few months have elapsed since Rovas, the former dictator, was routed, and compelled to leave the country, by Urquiza aad his followers, who pretended that they would give the people 2 republican form of government ; but, mo sooner did the latter genera! find himself in power than he, too, assumed the dictatorship, and | ruled with the same derpotic will that his predeces sordid. The people, finding that in ridding them- selves of one tyrant they only made place for another, are now endearoring to make Urquiza also vacate Our Washineton correspondents have furnished several itews of interest this morning. It appears that the Peruvian government have only agreed to protect from lows those vessels which went out for guano, known as the Jewett expedition. Two hun- dred more of the workmen engaged on the Capitol extension are to be dismissed to morrow. The superintendent of the work, it is reported, mas already rezigned, in view of the approaching change in governmental affaire on the 4th of March next. Since the election, money appears to have come in rather more freely for the Washing‘on monu ment. Between the let and 16th of this month the sum of $5,500 was reecived. Instead of merely placing contribution boxes at the polls on election @aye, where men only can contribute tovards the monument fund, why not put up boxes properly secured, in convenient places throughout the coun- try, 20 that the ladies, too, may extend their pit- tance! By this method sufficient means might s00n be raised to complete the work, for, when the ladies come forward in behalf of a good cause, it generally proepers We learn that (icueral Pierce’s majority in North Carolina is 686, and in Louisiane it is 1,454. Texas is reported to have given him a vory heavy ma jority. The advocates of the Maine liquor law have re- ecived another blow in the decision of the Superior ‘Court of New Hampshire, which decisres the liquor Dili passed by the last seesion of tho Legislature to sonflict with the constitution of that State. Thus are the intentions of the Mainoacs defeated on aly #ides—in Maine by the non-election of tho author of the bill as Mayor of Portland; in Connecticut by the direct repudiation ofthe measure by the people; im Rhode Island by rioting among the people and the withdrawal of nearly all the custom from tho summer retreats; in Massachusetts by the want of maccess of nearly every ticket on which a tempo- rance candidate was placed; and now in New Hamp- shire by the declaration of a high legal tribunal that the law is unconstitutional.

Fortunately the coupling with the cars broke, and the passengers were thas provi- dentially saved. The passenger and freight trains ' on the Camden and Amboy road came in collision near Burlington, and both engines were greatly | damaged. | We publish this morning a fall report of the reli- | gious ceremony which took place in Calvary Church, | last evening, consequent upon the death of the Late Duke of Wellington.

The evidence was cir- cumetantial, The jury retired at seven o’elock, but had not egreed at the hour of our going to press.

PI We publish a report of the festival beld at the Astor House, by the members of the Medical Wi- dows? and Orphans’ Society. The proceedings, par- iculatly the speech of Dr. Francis, were highly jovial. We perceive that the Doctor is in favor of pretty women and phlebotomy. The attention of the reader is directed to a very interesting article, written by Senor Cisneros, Presi- dent cf the Caban Junta, in reply tothe charges of London Times. This document contains much | curious information that may not be generally known. The annexed is a brief summary of matter on the Board of Assistant Aldermen; the German Hebrew Benevolent Society, and the American Erhnological iety; The Supported Intervention of France in ptain Davenport and Purser Smith; Attempt ude the Theatre from Connecticut; Military and other Parades; Personal, Theatrical, and Law Intelligence; Commercial Record, &c. | Opening of the Large Rivers of the W | Our Commercial Prospects. The commerce of the world is about to re prodigious developsment by the opexing of of the largest known rivers. Hitherto, the richest | portions of the continents of Asia and South Ame- rica have been comparatively useless, incsnsequonse ofthe absurd restrictions imposed upon trade by foolish monarchs. Millions of square miles of valua- , ble Jand are now unproductive, from the small de- nand for agricultural produce in the home mariret, nd tke barbarous policy which shuts out their inhabitants from a foreign market. The unexam- pled fertility of the ploins of Paraguay, and the environs of Ava, is @ mere traveller’s tale. To those who judge only by practical resuits, we have nothing to show that they are not barren deserts Missionaries and wanderers paint seductive pic- tures of the treasures which a bountifal climate strews profusely before the natives of Brazil; anl, in spite of Chinese jealousy, accounts have leaked | out respecting the enormous yield of tho agricul- | tural lands on the banks of the Yang Tse Kiang; ‘but, to the merchant, they are all matters requiring | | an exercise of pure faith to believe them. Steps are now being taken by the two great com mercial nation: in the world to supply tangible | PP: ie evidence of the agricultural wealth of these por- tions of the globe The Burmeso war must open the Irawaddy. Those who pretend to bo in the secrets of the British governiient, assert confidently that the whole seacoast, from Calcutta to Penang, will ho aonexed; ond think it more than probable that Ava and Prome will also form part of the British empire in India. The capture of Ava would involve the pos- session of the Irawaddy from that city to its mouth; and wo may asufely conclude | that Great Britain $s not so forgetful of | her interests as to overtook the importance of | scouring the free navigation of the whole river from | ita highest navigable points on the borders of Thibet and ef China The immense teak forests which form the chief wealth of the Birman empire, will thus bs Jaid under constant contribution, and the supply of that valuable wood will increase enormously. The exports of rice, sugar, and spices, will also augment in a corresponding ratio. European and American enterprice will penotrate to the fastnesses of Azsam; and civilization will again plant her standard on the ruine of kingdowe which for thousands of years have beeu smouldering into duct. While Great Britain is engrossed with Southern Asia, United States is about to contribute still more efectually to the progress of enlightenment and bulwarke which curround Japan. To affect a doubt of the success of our mission would be absurd. The ports of Japan will be opened, and its products will Sind thefr way into our markets before three yeara | have cjapscd, But this will not be the most preg- nant result of the expedition. No sooner will the trade between San Francisco, Macao, and Shan- ghae have assumed an important aspect, shan our werchants will apply the seme arguments to China that they now apply to Japan. The Yang Tse King must be thrown open to our shipping. This mognificent stream, which is only second to the Amazon and Missiasippi, takes its rise in the Thibet mountains, and irrigates the most fertile provinces of Chins. Its course is osti mated at 2,200 miles, for about three-fourths of which it is navigable for vereels omrrying Inrge carroes. It is hardly possible to over-estimate the benofits which both China and this covatry would derive from the removal of the restrictions which now confine our vessels to ils mouth. Impor- tant as our trade with China now is, it would appoar | utterly insignificant if wo were permitted to buy | ond sell froely with the inhabitants of tie popatous interior of the conntry. We question whether the discoveries of gold in California would prove such & permanent advantage to the country wus free in- tercourse with the heart of China. Again, au engineering expedition is now oxplor- ing the course of the mighty Maranon or Amazon.

The Andes would be brought into immediate | proximity with the Atlantic. The centre of Guians would be opened by the river Nogro. The treasuroz of Bolivia and Paraguay would be borne to the | Atlantic by the Madera; and an inland communi- cation would be established between the mouth of the Amazon and Buenos Ayres. The whole northera frontier of Brazil would be developed, and the dor- mant energies of the people aroused.

Turning southward, we find that our minister has concluded a treaty for the opening of the Paraguny, Parana, and Uruguay rivere, and we believe the | same privilege has beon extended to the other com- mercialnations of the world Thus we may expect that | all the vegetable productions of the Bands Orientul, Paraguay, La Plata, and Rio Grande, will soon fiad | their way to European markets. ‘* These coun- tries,”’ says an eminent geographer, ‘are very rich in vegetable prodactiona. The climate is gonerally temperate and agreeable; the trees are clothed in perennial verdure, and the extensive plains, which are covered with the richest pastures, are enlivened with prodigious herds of horned cattle, horses, and mules.” Wheat, maize, and all the Europ2an fruits, are here produced almost without Itbor or manure: and, besides these, the productions of warmer cli- mates, such as cottoa, sugar, grapes, &c , are growa in abundance. The borders of the Parana and Pa~ raguay were pointed out, many years ago, as a ter- | ritory which might have been the granary of Eu- rope. Had the Spaniards known that solid prosperity ecldom flows from the production of gold and silver—bad they not been cursed | by the Jesuits, whose tyranny cramped their | powers and emasculated their energies, we | should not to-day have been speculating on the | blessings which tho free admission of American vee | sele is likely to shower on their land. A new era, we may now confidently expect, is opening for them. But the advantage will not be wholly on their | side. While we shall supply them with a market for their produce, they will furnish us with a mar- | ket for our manufactures. As itis, our exports to these countries are very considerable. Qur exporis | of.domestie produce for the fiscal year, 1851, to Seuth America, exceeded nine millions of doilars, those to China amonnted to $2,155,945. We are slowly but securely driving British manufac: tures out of the South American market. were enabled to penetrate the interior, our exports would at once be doubled. = Besides the rivers we have enumerated, another of smaller dimensions, but not less importance, will shortly be navigated by our vessels. Our readers will | have noticed that most of the maps of Mexico andthe | isthmus mention a small town or village called | Mascala, but they will have sought in vain for any | river of the name, That there isone, however, and ariver navigable for steamboats, wo have now on the authority of the surveying expedition, which wes recently sent out by the United States, under | the command of Colonel Ramsey. By this river, which is called Mascala, or Zapatuca, Vera Craz may be brought within three days distance of Acapuleo. Humboldt, it seems, was altogether gnorant ef its existence; andthe Moxicans ap- pear to have made up their minds that the falls which are met with in its course entirely obstruct its navigation. Col. Ramsey is of a differ- ent opinion, and his assurances have had such weight that the Americans who are settled in the neighbor- hood of Acapulco, are all moving upwards toward the mouth of the Mascala. Such are the prospects in store for the commercial world. Well may they prove a themo for congratu- lation. To look for a parallel in the records of an- tiquity would be absurd. Nor would we be more successful were we to explore the annals of modern times in search of a period when so bright a proimiso of the extension of trade, civilization and wealth Mi held out to the world. Let not the opportunity slip. ArtEemrt To Suppress THE Drama.—We publish to-day avery curious document from the Hartford Cowant, being a petition to the Common Council It is an elaborate, carefully written paper against tho quoting authorities; though we cannot speak very flatteringly of the candor or accuracy of the writer, in the use he makes of some of tho illustrious names he has adduced in favor of his views. He is equally at fault for facts in a very strong he has made about the manner in which the theatres of New York have been and are now conducted. As forthe main argument of the document, it is | of the eame fanatical kind as that which has been | used against the use of wine and other strong drinks, because some men have abused thom and become drunkards. This species of argument, if it wero good for anything, would got rid of everything good in the world ; for there is nothing that has not been abused. Even religion and the Bible have been perverted to the worst purposes—but are we on that account to become infidels and renounce the author- ity of the holy scriptures? The stage is not so pure as it ought to be, and might be, and there are undoubtedly some evils connected with it. But what institution is perfectly puro, or what is there in this world that has not evil mixed up with it?) The newspaper preas is an cxample. It would | be well for society that some newspapers were not printed, but do we, therefore, purpose to abolish the prese, and the liberty of printing? If there are evils, there also great advantages, connected with the stage, and the advantages more than counter- balance the evils. In this connection we observe that there is one reckless aseertion the writer makes in reference to the theatres of this city, which is not only without foundation but the very opposite of the fact. Ho says one manager mado the experiment without the tier for the abandoned, but the instant desertion of the public, and the prospect of instant and certain disaster compelled him to resume the ancient usage. Now it so happens that Niblo’s theatre has been always conducted without any tier for the aban- doned, and particular care is taken by the pro- prietor not to admit these persons to any part of the heuse—yet Niblo’s has not only prospered, but is one of the most prosperous theatres in the country. If all the statements ef fact in this “ blue” petition be of equal value with that regarding the manago- ment of theatricals in New York, worthless indecd must it be, and most unsafe authority for the Com- mon Council of Hartford, or any other public body, to act upon. But admitted that there is atier for the aban- doned in every theatre, or even that they may mingle unnoticed with the general crowd in every part of the house, what then? Are we on that account to abolish the theatre? As well might wo abolish churches, because such sinsers may go there if they please. Our markets, too, and grocery stores, on tne same principle, should shere the same fate. In act the whole argument Js utterly absyrd, and can- not bear the light. It ie an attempt to revive the old exploded fanaticism against amusements, and is of the same stripe with the liquor law mania. Au- thorities bave been quoted, or rather misquoted, againet the etege, such as Aristotle, Solon and Ci- cero. all of whom will be found, on examin:tion, to he on the other side, together with a host of moral- ists, philoscphere and divines, ancient and modern, which our epace to day will not permit us te cite. Ie rather curious fact that amidst all the au- thorities quoted, St. Paul has net been thought of The stoge existed at that day, as did wine and slavery. Yet we do not find a word in the scriptures against eny of these things; but, on the contrary, St. Paul quotes with spprobation from a Greck play. So little support does fanaticism find in the Bible. We may hare occasion to revert to this subject, and show tho Hartford fanatics that the brightest ornaments of humanity have been in faver of the stsgo. Tae Amr Union Wounn ve at Lasr.—We perceive in the newsps an ancouncsment from the commitiee of management of the Ameri. can Art Union. that the Court of Appeals having decided that the distribution by letof paintings and other worksof art among the members of the Art Union would be contrary to the existing statutes of the State, the paintings and other works of art will not be diztributed, but will be sold by public auction next month. Such is the winding up of the unhappy Art Union, and tuch is precisely the fate we predicted for it from the beginning. We knew that a lottery was | a lottery, and that a lottery was illegal, and thisis | now admitted by ihe managing committee them- | selves. In consequence of the desisionof the court of final resort, they advertise the paintings for sale, and thus endeavor to get rid of the difficulty. They propose to cut, instead of loosing, the Gordian knot with which their affairs are bound, and in eseaping one difficulty, they are likely to fall into another. They avoid Seylla, and they may fiad themselves in Charybdia. It is by no means clear that they have any The object cf the Art Union, as contemplated, was to promote art by the distribution of paintings among the endecribers. Their mode of distribution If we | of Hartford. to exclude the drama from that city. | stage, and considerable research is displayed id’) itement | by the lottery wheels, has been pronounced illegal | andimmoral. But now the managers propose not | to distribute these works of art at all, but to sell | them by auction to the public. They are trustees | of the proporty, but the act of the legislature never { designed that they should sell it or divert it | from its original purpose; and in doing so they as- | | poration. They are likely, therefore, to get into a | new fix by sale—it belongs to the subscrivers—and if it is ' sold for less than its value, they are bound to make good the deficiency. The value of the pictures of the present year is estimated at $40,000, and the pre- viously acquired popety at $60 000—making in all ' $100,000. For this amount the managers aro liable to the subscribers, and can be sued for what- ever the proceeds of the sale will fall short of it. That the pictures will not bring half what they cost is very probable, most of them being of an inferior description. Itis doubtful ifthe sale would realize right to sell the pictures by public auction, | sume a right not conferred upon them eitherby the | : AP ies i | (bers 218 and 536 added. constitution of the Art Union, or the act of incor- | wi pune a ee . } | The property is not theire to dispose of | one dollar each to the subseribers instead of five dol- | lars. The managers, therefore, have no right to sell the pictures without the authority of the sub- scribers. They are responsible for the property to the last dollar that they possess in the world | Ibis to be regretted that the Judges of the Court of Appeals have not as yet promulgated their opi- nion in full, as it might throw some light on the illegality of the intended sale, and upon other points. | Some three weeks ago we published a sumuary of the decision; but we find that different viows have been taken of its meaning by several of our con- temporaries, and doubt will exist till the full op’ nion is issued. One of the papers will have it that the mode of distribution has been declared by the Court of Appeais to be only a rafile, and not a lottery. Now, it strikes us that this is a distinction without a difference, for a rafile ise lottery upon a small acale, and ia ehiefly con- fined to porter-houses—the prize being a turkey. Sometimes, too, a friend in distress is assisted by the fortune in a lottery office. | that constitutes its illegality and immorality. The mode of determining the prize, whether by dico or ' wheels, does not make the slightest difference. Bat we want the complete opinion of the Court of Ap- | peale, which it is hoped willremove every shadow of doubt upon the whole question submitted t> iva de- | cision. The judges, therefore, will do well to hurry | it up, es the public are looking for it with some | anxiety. | Meantime, we know that two points are decided; | first, that the Art Union is a lottery, and, as such, | illegal and immoral; and secondly, that tho pro. perty belongs to the subscribers, and cannot be con- fiscated to the institutions of the city, a3 District | Attorney Blunt wanted to have it, nor can it, we alienated from the lawful owners. well for the subscribers to hold a meoting for the purpose of taking such moasures as may seer best to them under the circumstances? By no means lot them tamely submit to the sale of their pictures. Tue N ew York Crysrau Parace.—This under- taking, which is to convert Reservoir Square into a zort of Hyde Park, and quadruple the value of property in its vicinity, is, we understand, pro- gressing very favorably, and promises to havea most successful result.

Mr Marcoleta called at our office yesterday in relation to the misrepre- sentations against him, and exhibited the proof of the statement. All these charges, counter charges’ criminetions and re criminations will, however, have one good result: they will tend to develope and lay bare the difficulties that havo surrounded Nicara- gua, enable the public to judge of the value of the stock of the Transit Company, and give to the world, perhaps, a communication with the Pasific by the ‘'y obe- A | San Juan, on a better and surer basis than it now has. That route isa splendid one, and its advan, tages ought not to be frittered away by operations in Wall street, or elsewhere. Naval Intelligence.
