THE NEW YORK WEEKLY HERALD. ‘The Collins steamship Pasific, Captam Nye, will deave this port at noon to-morrow, for Liverpool. Whe Furepean mails will close at half past tea o'clock tomorrow morning.

The News, Although moet of the telegraphic lines leading out of the city, were working a part of the time, yesterdsy and last evening, very little news was received over them. Correspondents, like the generality of people, are presumed to have been too busily employed in returning thanks for, and doing Justice to, the good things bestowed upon them, to | attend to any other business. Both the New Orleans lines, we understand, have been out of werking order since Tuesday. This probably accounts for the non-receipt of ten days’ later intelligence from California. B Hon. Charles G Atherton was yesterday morning selected for United States Senator, by the lower branch of the New Hampshire Legislature, by a majority of five over all opponents. The Senate undoubtedly concurred in the nomination of Mr. A during the afternoon. As an evidence of the extra ordinary reflux of John P. Hale’s popularity, it is only necessary to notice that he received four votes out of two hundred and sixty five. ol. Preston’s whig majority for Congress, in the Louisville district of Kentucky, is said to be fully fiftecn hundred. Gen. Pierce hada majority of over two hundred. Another instalment of the diplomatic correspon- dence recently brought to light in an official man- ner, relative to the island of Cuba, will be found in our columns today. These documents consist of the letters addreseed to Mr. Irving, the American Minister to Spain, by Secretaries Webster and Up- shur, during the Tyler administration, and aliude 0 the suppored intention of England to wrest Cuba from Spanish domination, by fomenting discord and revolution zmong the inhabitants of the island, and also by putting a complete check upon the importae tion of s!aves. Subsequent events have tended to @onfirm the suspicions entertained by this govern- ment atthat time. That the subjects of Great Bri- tain encouraged the rebellious feelings of the creol. of Cuba there can be no denial—that preparations ¢aucuses and consultations, in every svailable bole and comer, for the fat offices, to attend much to the | then—a national guard that was cure to | the new President was clear. public business. The whigs, on the other hand, being ina hopeless minority, ean only look on and submit to things as they take place, whatever they may be Still, in view of an entirely new pro- gramme at Washington, and an entire change of actors, rcenery, dresses and decorations, the sp- ing session, though short, will he exceedingly sprightly and amusing ; nor should wo wonder if there were some dog: fighting over the marrow: bones. The sport, if not sooner, will commence directly after the Christmas holidays. Whatever censure awaits Louis Napoleon at the hands of the moralist, the politician who reviews the history of France during the last four years cannot withhold a high eulogium on his adroitness and energy. Few men, with less intrinsic claims to success, have achieved greater things in so short a space of time—few have defeated so powerful ad- versaries st 20 small @ cost of bloodsbed and dis- turbance—few, if any, have found moans of gra- tifying the proudest dreams of their ambition, with- out exciting a far greater number of enemier, and rendering their name odious tothose whose Liberties they sacrificed. When Louis Napoleon arrived in Paris in Marob, 1848, he was peremptorily requested by the provi- sional government to return to hie exile. The man who had twice attempted to conquer France with a corporal’s guard—who had defeated the vigilance of the most experionced jailors at the prison of Ham —was too formidable a subject fer the feeble eoun- cil which sat at the Hotel de Ville, Ho complied; but soon returned, and, to the amazement of the world, set himself up as a candidate for the Presi- dency against Cavaignac, the man who, if that proud deed has ever been accomplished by any, had assuredly saved France. More slender claims to the suffrages of the French than his, it is impossible to conceive. Cavaignac had restored pease to Paris, and was, besides, a tried republican; Lamartine had done goed service in February and March; Led Rollin was an unflinching representa- tive of the socialist principle; even Join- ville had distinguished himself as a sailor and a man of nerve and courage. Louis Napoleca had nothing to recommend him but the name of his uncle, and the very equivocal fame derived from his exploits at Bologne and Strasbourg. To account for his extraordinary success, we must nevessarily pre sume that the canvass was carried on with the sane skill which hes since characterised the measures of his government—thet neither gold, nor the other thousand means of corruption which are so potent in France, were forgotten—that the great name of Napoleon was constantly sounded in the cars of that large class of Frenchmen with whom it is synouy- mous with grandeur and glory—that he availed himeelf largely of every fault of his competitors, while be was unusually careful that his own tactics should be beyond criticism. To those who were familiar with French politics, it was manifest, de spite the sneers and sarcasias of the London pr. that the individual who was clected over the heads of Caveignac and Lamartine, was no ordinary man. When Louis Nopoleon found himself President, he was not long in discovering the nature of the people he had to govern. A republic, without republicans —a vast number of rival parties, without policios— a people without constancy, or the power of appre- ciating the blessings of a stable governmont—two or three sections of monarchiste with rival candi- dstes—as many cliques of experimental politicians, cach witha different theory, and only coinciding in vague general desire to overturn all existing institutions—an army which could not be relied on—bands of volunteer troops, accustomed to enjoy a brush in the streets every now and side with every upetart authority—all those prin- ciples of manliness and honor which are the orly safeguard of 2 government, seemed obliterated from the hearts of the people, and, in their stead, a species of interested conservatism in the old, anda reckless hankering after novelty in the young, were the only feelings whoze existence was undoubted. With such materials to work upou, the course of Tho national cha- are now making in Hogland to suppress the trafficin slaves on the island, and that her Majesty’s cruisers are at this moment hovering about the island for the ostensible purpose of capturing slavers, we have given eonvincing proofs within the last few days. A negro woman and her daughter escaped being burned to death, in Philadelphia, by jumping from a third story window. last Wednesday night. Prior to making their own exit, they threw down a child, which was caught, uninjured, by the crowd below. ‘The last European news has causod another de- eline in the price of cotton at Caarleston. The jury inthe caso of Wm Saul, charged with the murder of Baxter, the watchman on board ths ship Thomas Watson, have couvicted the accused of murder. They did net bring ix the verdict till oight o’clock on Thursday morning. This is the second conviction for this murder, and Wm. Johnson has yet to be tried for the same crime. racter was not sufliciently stable for a republie; the old dynasties were rotten, and could not be revived. A new government, strovg enough to control the | young and inspire confidence in the old—which should not be subject to the vote of @ fickle majori- ty in the Houge of Representatives, or rely in any measure on the fluctuating sympathies of the Paris mob—was what the country necded.

Whe Meeting of Congress=The President's Message. ‘The last ression of the Thirty-second Congress opens on the first Monday of December. The mem- bers of both Houses are gathering in rapidly at | Washington—the heads of the departments and , their clerks are busy closing up their reports— the President, for some days past, has been holding regular cabinet coneultations upon the mossage, as well as upon the Cuba question,) and on the morning after the formal assembling of the two Houses, the whole country will, doubtless, be in- formed of the Presidont’s annual recommendations simultaneously with the reading of the mossage ia the capitol. To accomplish this object, we under stand that the message will be dopotited at the more prominent points, for rapid circulation in every quarter of the Union, in advance. This is a sonsi- ble arrangement, and supersedes the heretofore ridiculous government system of running exprosses from Washington, at the risk of all sorte of rail- road accidents Upon the Cubs question, the Fishery question, the Lobos Island guano question, and the Tehuantepoc treaty question, the Presideut’s moseage will bo of more than ordinary interest and importance. The ‘material facts upon all these questions wo doubtless already know; but it is a matter of the highest ‘™moment that the country should be informed of tho exact position of every one of these issues at the ‘Present time—settled or unsettled. The message ‘will give this information, aad onable us to see how ‘far, by adverse winds and currents, and fogs and Wreakers, the chip of State has been drifted from her tue course. In other respects, Particularly in re- gird to our domestic concerms, the President's ye\tly summary oan hardly amount to anything moi'e than the usual rigmarole of Prosperity, statis. ‘ties, end ao variety of demands for increased appro- ons. Congress besides the'pacsage of the necessary Wills of disbursement to carry on the government machin- ery;will hardly do anything mere this session, which loses on the third of March.

Nor can any doubt bo entertained of the result of the appeal to the people. So ekilfully | have Louis Napoleon's measures been takes, that it seems as though he was reluctantly consenting to gracp the soeptre which has been so long the object of his dearest hopes. So far as France iz concerned, we songratulate the French on the event. Wo believe the psople will enjoy a larger measure of prectical prosperity under Leuis Napoleon than they would have en- joyed unders republic. We feel confident that so- cisliem, which bse beem for many years the bane of Paris, will not rear ite head under his enorgetic tule. We lovk forward to the extensioa of their trade and manufectures, the developement of their industrial resources, which have been almost over- looked in the clamor of political disturbances, and to the reestablishment of domestic tranquillity, which, after all, is the truo eecrot of happiness. Glad, proud as we should feel te ses tho Frensk in the full enjoyment of that sburo of civil and poli- tical liberty which our constitution secures to the meanest citizen, we cannot close our eyes to the lessons tangbt by the past, or delude ourselves into the belivf (hat a republic oan prosper among a people whose charactor does not contain a single element of republicanism. Bighly a6 we value our own liberty, we ace not prepared to admit that it would be safe te extend it to the whole werld, or to remove all restrictions from a press whore notion of freedom is the right of propagating rank treason, and who summon an excitable mob te arme to in- @rcaso their own circulation. Kaergotically as wo should repress any attempt to infringe the rights of our own legislature, we cannot feel very indigmant when the power of doing mischief is taken away from ® body of men who were only harmless when they were corrupt, and who have never evinced the slightest tonse of the responsibility which attachod to their position. Yo our mind, Louis Napoleon is tho man of tho time. He aots where his predeocssors theorized; he tees the people as they axe, while they shaped their course to suit an imaginary nation—a phantom con- jured up in their own brain. We think his acocs- tion.to the imperial throae is one of the moat fortu- a events for France that has happened for many & day, Ix Gueat Dewann.—Rooms at Washington are enid to be in great demand, in view of the expected Coan of bey Somers about the fourth of érohnert, There will be a good tme—fur tb hotels and boarding houses, 2 is the “‘qpavoldsble injury” which * certain import- I ant interests” have suffered, through ‘“ recent legislation;” by which paraphrases we are to under- stand that an allusion to free trade is meant. We sre not suficiently interested in the internal commer- cial policy of Britain to appreciate the warp,ch of the Times or the Morning He: ald on tho sabject. We read with more concern the paragraria relating ta‘the fisheries. Her Majesty informys Parliament that, “while the rights of her susjects have been firmly maintained, the friendly sytrit ta which the question has been treated, induces her to hope that the ulti- mato revult may be ® mutually boneficial extension and improvement ©¢ our commercial intercourse” with the United States. Wo are glad to hear it. It has ever been the policy of this country to ‘ extend and improve its commercial intercourse” with all foreign nations, and wo shall be well pleased if the fishery squabble should eonduce to this great end. At thesame time, the extension must be in the right direction If, by the carefully worded paragraph we have quoted, her Majesty, or rather the government, meant to refer to the question of reciprocity with the British provinces, it behoves us earefully to ex- amine, not only whether the extension promised will be as the Queen says, ‘ mutually beneficial,” but whether the share of benefit resulting from it will be as nearly equal on both sides as the rules of prudent diplomacy require. Our commerce would undoubtedly receive a certain extension if we were | to comply with Mr. Hincks’ proposal, and admit all the forest and farm produce of Canada free. | But whether such an extension would be as bene- ficial to us as to our Canadian neighbors, is quite another matter. We are not clear that the Units: States would be manifest gainers by the importa- tion of four millions worth of Canadian timber and potash, instead of a millien and a quarter, or of a couple of millions worth of animals and their pro- | duets, instead of haifa million. Nor does it appear to us so obvious as to be boyond controversy that the inoreaze of our imports of Canadian vegetable food, from two to four or five millions a year, would con- fer an inestimable benefit on the people of this country. If, indeed, this increase were accompa- nied by a corresponding augmentation in our ex- ports of manufactures to Canada—if, for instance, our trade statistics showed an annual export under this head of six or seven millions, instead of two and a half, then the benefit would be obvions and mutual. Unfortunately, the Canadian government shows no disposition to extend the reciprocity they desire to manufactures. They will be happy to sond us all their products free of duty, but decline re- | ceiving ours on the same terms. We question whether such an arrangemont will be viewed by | our government in the light of a ‘‘beneficial ex- tension of our commercial intercourse.” The only connection that can be discovered bo- | tween the question of reciprocity and the fishery disputes, is predicated on the supposition that Britain is prepared to surrender us the shore fisher- j ies of Nova Scotia if wo will admit British North American produce free of daty. To sucha bargain as this it is but reasonable to ex- pect that the colonists themselves must be parties. Now, of the views of the Nova Scetians on the sub- | ject, we had a tolerably fair sample in the address to the Queen which we published a few days ago They take a resolute stand on their exclusive right to dispose of the fisheries, and positively deny to Great Britain the power of disposing of them with- out their consent. They take but little interest in the reciprocity scheme, and would not, in all pro- bability, derive much benefit from its adoption by this country. At oll events, the advantages it would confer upon them would not be commen- surate with the injury which would flow from the loss of their exclusive right of fishing on their own ehores. That these are the opinions of the people of Nova Scotia, Lord Derby cannot but be well aware; in fact, the date of the addrees mentioned above would almost favor the belief that their indignant remozatrance was simultaneous with Earl Derby’s properal to induce us to grunt reciprocity to Canada, by offering the Nova Sootia fisheries as a bribe. Our readers will therefore judge of the import- ance which ought to be attached to this portion of the Queen’s specch. In our opinion, it matters very little what Earl Derby’s plans or hopes may be. | The principles under which he took office are not | calculated to excite much sympathy for his admin- istration in Great Britain ; and we shall be erring | on the safe sido if we say that his tenure of power | isenly precarious. The settlement of the fishory | dispute and of the reciprocity question is in all | probability reserved for his successor. We must, | in reality, look to the whigs for any ‘ extension and improvement of our commercial intercourse” | which will be ‘ mutually beneficial” to both | countries. Tuanksetving Day.—Yesterday was celebrated asa day of thankegiving throughout this State and several other States of the Union. In this city it was observed by the closing of stores, the prome- nading of tho streets and the country roads by » joyous population, in their Sunday clothes, by the parade of a large number of target companies, by excellent dinuerg, at which a turkey was an indis pengable requisite and merry wine sparkled in the cup, and, at the close of the day, by the assembling of friends and relatives around the festive board. Besides these physical manifestations of happiness and thanksgiving, the day was also observed by di- vine tervice in all the churches, and by sermons appropriate to the occasion, in which the various causes for which this nation ought to bo thankful, "above all other nations in the world, were enu- merated. By reference to another part of this day’s paper, it will be seon that we have reperted a varioty of matters incident to the day. To give thanks for the blessings of Providenco is # good and wholesome custom, religiously observed by our ancestors, and continued by us, their descen- dants, to ourrational enjoyment and edificadon— @ custom, therefore, that combines in a high degree the cum utile dulci, blending instruction with amusement, and making men better Christians,and better satisfied with themselves and the rost of mankind.

Upon the alarm being given, a large force of firemen attended, ‘wit @me whole of the Second district police Upon ‘or- cipg open Gregcr’s room, they found it full of smoke. with a bed bn fire, from which the flames were spreading rap- idiy to the furniture and fixtures. It made such progress that ina yery short time the room was enveloped ina sheet of flames, notwithstanding the exertion of the fire- men. Very great alarm prevailed, and the remaining families hurried pub, carrying amay as much of thelr far- niture and clothing as they could At this crisis, an Irish woman wes seen hurrying down the raggin, a huge box after her. and erying out,‘ My hus dcunl in bed”—‘my husband’s drunk in bed.” Uj some perrom euggesting the propriety of her relinquishing the ‘box, aud carrying away the man, she replied, very coolly, “My winter clothing dear, is im the box.” The unconscious husband was rescued from his dangerous position by one of the police of the Second ward, who got ie whiskers singed and his hands burned in his humane effort. The same officer saved a child from suffocation, which was lying in Gregor’s room in bed. The fire was happily confined tothe ome room, but the building is much damaged by water, as well asthe furniture, cloth- ing, and bed clothes of the tenants.

Funeral of Another Mexiean Volunteer, On Sunday, the 2ist inst., we noted the funeral of one of the diminishing but gallant remnant of the New York Volunteers, Another member of the corps was consigned to the tomb yeeterday. At half-past eleven o'clock, the remains of the late Mr. John Hepburne were taken frem the head-quarters, Mercer House, for interment in Greenwood Cemetery. The coffin wis deposited in the hearse by his sorrowing and scarred associates, eom- manded by Colonel Ward B. Burnett. The American Rifles, commanded by Lieutenant William Cole, formed ® guard of honor around, whilst the remaining Vo- lunteers marched in the rear with the triumphant flag The cortege proceeded down Broadway, without music, and in the midet of thousands who went on their own way rejoicing. The festivities of Thanksgiving ren- | dered it impossible to procure the services of a band, and this made the ccens more strikingly solemn, as Mr, Hep- burne had cerved as drum major, or principal musician, to the Volunteers, in Mexico, and often rung out the “wild, high, and triumphant” war notes of our conquer- gf army upon its plains, saddening influence of this want was relieved by th conduct of Lieutenant Hoaglan tinentels, (City Guard.) which met the funeral procession before it reached the ferry, and immediately fell in with the riflo escort and lent the services of their most excel- Tent band of music, The procession passed over to Greenwood, and there, with military honors, deposited the remains of John Hepburne. The late Mr. Hepburne was much beloved, and was a very brave soldier. It is time that more attention wore paid to the funsral rites of there gallant men, who are rapidiy leaving us, Tae city of New York is now pro-pering from the gloriout results of their exertions, the addition of California and other territory having caused her to become the metropolis of this mighty republic. ‘The volunteers should be attend- ed to in sickmess and declining years. Police Intelligence. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE—A &CENE AT THE COURT ROOM. Officer Patterson, one of the attaches at the Polloe Court, yesterday arrested a man named John McNamara, on_a warrant issued by Justice Osborne, wherein the ac- cused stands charged with the seduction of Mary Russell under the promise of marriage. The complainant was present at the court when the offiser brought in the gay deceiver, and conveyed him before the bench of justice, to answer the preferred allegation. Now that the two parties were brought together before the court, the magistrate at ence noticed the great dispa- rity of age between them—the woman appearing at least ten years older than the man. The magistrate called ber up and asked her how old she was. She replied in a very meek tone, endeavoring to make herself appear as juvenile as possible, * I am thirty- five years old, rir.” Magietrate—You are a widow, I presume? Mary—Yes. tir. Magistrate—Yes. I thought you looked like a widow. Here one of the Tombs practitioners, who had just been put upon the priconer and extracted a few dollars to take care of his case, epoke to the magix and offered to show that the complaint could not be sustained, on the ground that he never knew cf the seduction of a widow, nor did he believe there was a case on record. Magistrate—I am aware thut the seduction of a widow is comewhat of a m ed ioe least it is before me. ‘aie gencrally too sbrewd to be caught with a sham bait, but when they do take hold they invariably secure some- thing more than a nibble. (Laughter ) Tombs Lawyer—Your honor will obeerve, besides being a widow, I believe the woman is too old to bring & suit for seduction. (Laughter.) Magistrate—I am not aware that the age is ect forth in the law; all that the law says is, “a female of previous chaste character;” and as this is one of those cases, although rather an aged one, I should prefer before dis: posing of the case, te consult Mr. Blunt, the District At- torney, and get his opinion. Lawyer—I am informed, and I think I shall be able to prove conclusively to the court on a hearing, that instead of the man seducing the woman the woman seduced the man. The court can form some opinion in this matter from the parties themselves now in court. During the remarks made by the ha fe the widow, who was not the mort preposesting of widows, com- menced biting her lips, evidently exhibiting her rising indignation; and not able to contain herself any longer, she opened her battery of speech on the affrighted spouse, calling him a wretch, who had taken away her character. Said she. appealing to the magistrate, “ That man,” point- ing to McNamata, who stood near the lawyer with quiver. ing lips, “that man,” said she, ‘has ruined me, and it is for that thet I came to this country. Sure be knew me twenty years in the old country, and kuew my first poor dear husband For the last six months past he has stopped with me in my own room. as my own husband, and always promised that he would marry me, and now, Judge, he's turned his back agin me, and wont marry me as he said he would. (Laughter.) If there's any Jaw I must bave satisfaction, and make him marry me. I want to be made an honest woman,” (Laughter ) The widow now became much excited, and made use of very strong language to express herreif, calling McNamara a Har, &c.. and became so noisy that the magistrate was compelled to order one of the offloers to turn her out of court; and out she went, cursing McNamara to her heart's content. The officer then took the jsoner to the Tombs below, there to await s farther hear Suspicion of Stealing a Watch.—A man named uel Cooper was yesterday arrested on a charge of stealing a gold watch ond cl , Valued at $75, stolen from the remises Ne, 67 Mott street.

This day having been set apart by the Governe: of thir State as « day of thankegiving and praise, for the namoe- rous blessings which have been showered upor us during the pust year, business generally was suspended. The Board of Brokers adjourned yesterday afternoen, over to Friday, and we are therefore without our usual report sales. At the close yesterday, the market was particu. larly buoyant, and it is our impression that upon the opening tomorrow there will be am active demand for stocks, at better prices, The elements of speculation are propitious, and when their influence em the market io realized, we shall see a more rapid expansion thaa wo have yet known, It is hardly possible for the inflation to be universal Events are likely to oceur, that will seriously depress certain fancies, and give the bears all the marzia they can reasonably desire; but the great movement will be upwards We see nothing im the perspective likelyt > check the rapid imerease im the supply of money, and what must naturally follow—a steady and permanent re- duction in the rate or rates of interest.
