Ariival of the Empire City~Important from Cuba, The news brought from Havana by the steam- ship Empire City, which arrived at this port yester- day, ie not so late by one day as that received by the steamer Isabel, at Charlesion. Our letters say nothing whatever tending to corroborate the report of the latter, a3 to the settlement of the Crescent City difficulty ; but, as the Empire City left on the 29h November, it is probable that the conciliatory arrangements were made next day, on the eve of which the Isabel lefc. Our advices by the Empire City, however, are of a most important and interesting character, inas- muck as they confirm the statements hitherto made as to the increasing activity manifested fh carrying on the slave trade, and the proportionate determin- ation evinced by the British government to put it | dead set upon the Senate; but itis doubtful whether | gown, ond compel Spain to observe her treaty “stipniations. From the correspondence which we publich to-day, it will be seen that the traffic with the coast of Africa, for the p se and lauding of elaves on the island of Cuba, is carried on to an ex- tert greater than heretofore, and that not only do the authorities cornive at it, but that Queen Chris- tina and Captain-General Criiedo are said to be Jargely interested in the expeditions. Our letters also confirm the statement published exclusively by the Henan some days since, as to the movemenis of the British West India equadron; and furnish evidence to prove that the views expressad by Lord Palmersten, in hig recent speech in Parlia- | ment, will be vigorously enforced. The island ig now engiscled by the cruisers of the Englizh fleet, for the purpose of intercepting vessels engaged ia the | Slave trade. The government of Great Britain is resolved to annihilate tho traffic, ihe Inst vestige of Which is now only to be found in connection with | Cuba; and if no other mode can bo found ayails- ble, as present sppearancés ix e, they will decidedly favor the tranefer of the island to tho United States. In this view of the eubject, the prosent position of affairs there will be found pregnant with impor. tant reeults. . The Sews. Though quite brief,our telegraphic intelligence th morning will be found excecding!y interesting. Un- doubtedly the most pleasing feature of the news to a majority of our readers is the announcement, by our special correspondent, that the Hon. W. R. King, | tho Vice Pre Washingtor last evening, in his usual health, and will take his sont at the head of the Senate to day. This puts to rost the vague rumor of that gentleman's death, whish was circulated throughout the country on the day previous to the mceting of the electoral colleges of the different States. Whether this story was fabri- cated for the malicious purpose of leading the elec tore astray remuins to be ascertained. Our corres- pondent alco states that there are a sufficient to form a quornmin each house, and that the President’s Message will be sent in today. Of what will probably constitute the principal business during the session we have spoken at some length elsewhere. According to the latest intelligence from Mexico, the rebellious epirit which has so long exhibited iteelf in ali parts of that country is fast approaching | The revolutionists have had a battle with at Scnora, in which the lat- a focus. the government troop: ter were defeated. had declared in faver of the revolutionists, and con- tributed Jarge quantities of weapons to carry on the rebellion. In Tameulipss the revolationists had captured Victoria, the capital of the State, and fears were entertained at Tempico that their next movement would be sgainst that place. The au- thorities of Orizaba wére treating with, and it was anticipated would surrender to, the insurgents; and, what added to the distress of the govern- ment, two vesecle of war, which wore ordered from Acapulco to blockade the port of Mazatlan, had espoused the cause of the revolutionists. In fact, accumulating troubles 0 utterly disheartened President Arista, that ft is impo: prevent the destruction of the republic. Unless Banta Anna, who is believed to be directing the revolutionists, is reinstated in powor, the confed- eration will be specdily annihilated, and each State will set up @ government for itself. Under any cir- cumstances, however, the nation cannot be expected to hold together a great while—even though Santa Anna be recalled. He is a cunning intriguant, but past experience has established the fact that he is ulterly incompetent to rule fall, By reference to the Moxican news it will be seen that the various ptopositions for the Tchuantepoc contract are to be published, and that Congross will afterwards decide upon them. It ienot improbable that the present scssion of tho American Congre will have something to say relative to this matter. The telegraph reports that the steamship Blask Warrior had arrived at Mobile, with later advi from Havana then were hitherto received. Not a word of the nows, however, hae been tranemitted We elsewhere publish the m oly particulars of thesinking of the pilot boat Yankee, off Sandy Hook, ou Friday night, and the subsequent drown. ing of four of her crew, whose names are given From New Orleans, we learn that the las: foreign newshad the effect of slightly lowering the price of both cotton and breadstufis. The roceipts of cotton up to this time, 4 all the Southern ports, are re ported to be 348,000 bales more than last your at tho same date. A detpatch from Baltimore declares that the ru- mor relative to the intention of the Mayor to re- sign is wholly incorrect, and that, on the contrary, he, ond his officers under him, afe ondosvoring to quell the spirit of rowdyism. It isto be hoped that tney will succeed. The readers attontion ia dirosted to the telo- graph columns for sccounte of two more fatal rail- ond accidentz, a duel, euicide, fires, &o, Our gone- 1 newe columns like wis great amount «f very intercating matter, to which the want of The State of Aguas Calientes | ible for bim to | ‘The Meeting of President's Message—The Business of he Session. The second seesion of the Thirty-second Congress commences to-day, and will close on the $d of March next. The two Houses being ready for business, from the annual message of the President of the United States, if there be » quorum in each, will most pro- bably be read in both brancl/es this morning. If so, we expect to be able to lay it before our readers to- morrow, with, perhaps, a portion of the aeconrpany- ing annual reports from the several executive de- partments The message has been despatched to the principal points of the United States by sposial messengers, and will be delivered by the Postmas- ters of the respective cities as soon as telegraphic in- formation shall have been received by them of its delivery to Congress. We bave heretofore adverted to what may be rea- sonably anticipated as the leading featares of the message, to wit: the Caba question, the Fishery question, the Lobos Islands guano question, and the ‘Tehuantepec treaty question. We have reason to | expect that the mesaage will cast a flood of light upon all these, and many other questions, foreign and domestic, which, to some extent, more or less, remain up to this hour involved in mystery. I+ is possible, too, there may be an extra message, an- nouncing the pacific settlement, by George Law & Compony, of the Crescent City controversy, which, but a few days ago, hung like a black clou} of war along our Southern horizon The business of the two Houses will give them abundant employment for thrie months, however well disposed they may be to work The wofinished business of the last session, after the disoussion and reforence of the various parte of tho Prosident’s message, will come up first on the calendar. Mast prominent amongst the bills passed by the Honee, and only requiring the concurrente of the Senate and tho signature of the President to become laws of the Jand, are— 1, The Land Distribution bill, providing for a distribution "of some sixty-five millions of acres of the public lands among the several States of the Union, of which the preportion to Now York will | be, if passed, upwards of five millions; or, to he more exact, will be 5,100,000 acres. This monsure it commonly known as Bennett’s Land bill, and doubtless hai considerzble influence in his re- efection to Congress from this State, at the late election. 2. The Homestead bill, also known as the Free Farm bill, providing for ceding the entire public | domain, in small farms of one hundred and sixty acres for each family, &e , to actual eottlers, as a | free gift, to encourage the landless, and promote | the settlement of the unsettled distriets of the Par West. | The friends of each of these bills will make a | either of theee extraordinary and radical measures | ean be whipped through within the limits of a short | session. Mostof ths leading democrats of the Senate | are in favor of the Homestead bill, while upon the | Distribution scheme, the whigs are believed to stand | | almost alone in its support. This gives the Home | stead bill the inside track; and it appears within the range of possibility that it may pass, though, we | apprehend, the country is hardly yet prepared for | anexperimeat co swesping and vovel as this. so-called Industrial Associations, howaver, and | the friends of “land to the landless,” includiag Sew- ard and his allies, will do their utmost to strengthen | themselves upon this project, forthe campaign of | 1856, whether passed or defeated in Congress. Io this view, if not in the meantime dieposed of, | ene of the first duties of the new administration will | be to lock to the publie lands, and devise, if possible, | tome honest, salutary, and regular system for tho | transfer of the same to actual settlers The New York Branch Mint hangs in ths House, and whatever the result, it will be the duty of our delegation to re-open their fire upon thas question | We suzpect there is no hopo for French epoliatioas— | none. Tbe remtasion of the duty on railroad iron— | the prise of iron having risen to a good profit—will j very likely be discussed in the ouse; and consider- | ‘ng the vast emount of railroads under way and | projeeted ail over the eountry, it would not be sur- prising if this one important step should bo taken in behalf of free trade. At all events, with | a surplus of fourteen or fifteen millions in the trea- | sury, r meoling its expenditures of fifty millions a year, it is utterly idle for our various manufac. (Staring corperations te hope for auy iacreaso of | bounty from the gorernment. Tho whole theory of | protestion is steadily declining, andin dus time it | will become, like the United States Bank, “au ob | solete id Somett will donbtless be attempted for the | | satisfaction of the creditors of Texas. Notwith- stending the ten millions indemnity given to Texas, in one of the Compromise bills of 1850, for the pay- mont of her debis, it is lamensably evident that , that State, following the example of Mississipni, | has & decided leaning to repudia While Texas | aga republie, ehe borrowed some eight or nia | millions of dollars, making various pledges for its redemption. For this purpose, her public lands were left in ber possession on her annexation to the | United States; and, in 1850, the ten millions in- demnity on her boundary question were given to her with the same view. Yet it appears, from a re port of Mr. Pearce, of the Finance Committee of the United States Smmate, of August last, that “no part of this debt, principal or interest, has been paid by Texag. Neither the proceeds of her public lands, according te the articles of annexation, nor the | duties from import®, haviag been, in any manner, | applied to this purpose. Nor has Texas effected avy settlement with these creditors whereby the United States have been released from these claims, ulihough nearly two years have olapsed sincs the passage of the act of Congress of 1850, than eighteen months since the acsepiance act by Texas.” According to the law ot nations, and of common equity in such cases, the United States, having ab- rorbed the sovereiguty of the Jate republic of Texas, are responsible to its creditors. Iften, twenty, or fifty millions, are given by Congress to Texas to sottle up with those creditors, and sho fails to do it, Oon- grees is ctill responsible to them. Now, it appears, that Texas having proviied, by logislative enact- ments, for repudiation upon # sliding eoale of from soventy to twenty percent upon her dvbta, heroredi- tors have thought fit to cali upon Congress. Tho Finance Committee of the Senate were thus called to anewer how the creditors may be satisfied, and how tate of Toxas may be safely entrusted with the lions stili due to her on account of her cred- ) “The committee say, that they “think this may be effected by iseuing to the suid creditor stock of the United States to the amount of $8,333,000, boaring an interest of three per cent per annum, reducable atthe pleasure of tho government of tho United Siates after —— years, and iakiug from the credi- tors their receipts in fall, and assignments of their evidences of debt, which may be held by the United States as a set-off to the claim of Texas to the five millions reserved under the act of Soptembor 9th, 1850 Bat something is due lo Texas. It is duo to her, end due to the spirit and intent of the resolutions of annexation, thet the half dozen surviving officers of the mavy of the late republic should be incorpora. ted into the nary of the United States. It is due to justice thut the bill of the naval committee of the House on this subject should be passed. We apprehend, however, that procions little will or can be dene in public or private measures of logisla- tion, during the prosent session. There must be a great deal of wind and gas expended onthe moseage, Cabo, Tehuantepec, codfish, guano, and such ques: ticns; bat, above al!, there must of necessity be a prodigious amount of cnuousing, and of little con- epiractes, in everyfiole and corner about the Capitol, and all over the village ef Washington, concorning the cabinet places, the fat raissions abroad, the gus: | wondcrs—an apparent impossibility possible of aseom- the spoils generally. It is quite possible that not one public measure will be passed till the ‘third of March, and that then the appropriations may all ve run through betwees sunset and daylight, with the President imprisoned in 2 side room of the Sena ¢ teresting, graphic, ridiculous, fussy, funny, lively, and amusing session of Congress. Nove. Invewrions —According to some of our cotemporaries, the NEw York Henan is entitled to the highest honors, as the greatest inventor of the ago. When, some months age, wo received a pious, moral-toned communication, purporting to come from cortain abolitionists of *Change Alley, London, and enclosing us the dowceur of fifty pounds sterling, os the first instalment of a bribe designed to aid in the defeat of Mr. Wa’bridge, a candidate for Congress from this city, and when we exposed and published the fraud, the wiseacres of the press gravely declared that the whole affair was a schome concocted and carried out by the Henaup, as an advertisement to more fame. And when, in a few weeks after, some other of our amiable friends had placed in our hards a packet, labelled as valuable, but whose mission was to furnish us with an im- provised passport to elysium, the samo oracles de- clared thet this, too, was another invention for notoriety, emanating from the same fertile sourvo. These editors, with high moral sentiment, entirely | set aside the affidavits of the gentlemen testifying to the particulars, as published by us at the time We feel overpowered with a senso of the unde- served compliments so lavishly bestowed upon us; but our candor, as well as our modesty, compels us | to digciaim our title to them to such anexvent. As it would, however, be of little avail to deslere to these itatierers of ours that we have no right to the | honors of an inventor in the sense for which thoy | give us credit, wo will only assure them thai we have | not the slightest cbjection, but, on the contrary, would be most happy to see thom imitate any of our | inventions. Let some of these editors get up a fac- | simile of the Walbridge bribe, and distribute two buxdred and fifty dollars among the charitable and | benevolent institutions around them, and wb plsdge oureelves not to suo them for an encroachment on our patent rights. And if they are of such a ven- turous disposition as they credit us with, we will re-load cur torpedo box, in their presonce, and place it in their bards, when perhaps they will make an effor’ to open it, as Mr. Bonnett did. That’s all. Tur NICARAGUAN MIsis tek —Wo published, with, in the past week or two, very voluminous articles and documents in relation to the important matter of the contract exieting between sertaia of our citi- zens and the Nicaraguan government, for the con- struction of a ship canal through that republic Mr. Marcoleta, whose name appears prominently ia | the affair, as the plenipotentiary of tho Nicaraguan goveryment, bavirg hed his authority called in question, and it haying been distinctly stated that | Nicaragua bad xo national representative in the | country, Mr. Everett, the Secretary of State, has | given the following explicit denial of that allega. | tion:— Devantuent OF State, Wasminaton.

We propose to take up and sift impartially all the echemes of connecting the two oceans, so that the people, who after all are most interested, my form a sound and impartial judgment between them Tne Bracon or Cvna.—The well known Mr. John S. Thrasher bas started a paper in New Or- leans, celled El Furo de Cuba, printed in English and Spanish. Mr. Thrasher is posted up in the af- faire of the queen of the Antille The Caloric Ship Ertesson. Among the many interesting subjects that attract pally ihe attention of the community, there Is = that excites at the present time more curiosity among a large class, both here and abroad, than the sue- c#es of the calorie ship Eriesron, The pewer of caloric ac an ¢jecting agent in an air gon, is well understood, but its applicability as a motive power Is not. Itisa new epplience of the element—s new iden in this age of plithment. An attempt (whether founded on trath or not, we cannot say) is made in the Augsburg Gazelle, n Austrian journal, to make it appenr that Mr. Ericseon’s iden is not original, a magistra‘e of Lauenburg, named Prebn, baving perfected a caloric engine some years pre- vious to Mr. Ericsson constructing his first one, He failed, however, as the story goes, in applying his prinei- ple, and his went of success browyht him to the grave This may be true, and yet detract nothing from Mr. Ericsson’s claim to originality in the concep'ion, which might have heen born in him for years before he was ena- bled to attempt to carry it out, from a variety of cireum- etonces, against which many men of genius have strug. gled, end ultimately sunk under, like the unfortunate Austrian mathematician. These charges, however, are ensily made, but not so enelly refuted, and, until some- thing more authentic than a mere newspaper paragraph is brought forward, Mr. Erics-on need be under no appre- hentlon of losing his laurels, aequired after years of labor, just nv be is ebout to receive tho crowning wreath ‘The opinion of the practiowbili’y or impractlenbility of the application of calorie to propelling yescels, however, ig a mooted question, whioh will ina few days doubtless be settled, when the ship Ericrson goes on her trial trip. ‘The company engoged in the enterprire ere very sanguine of enocess, although there are # great many who doubt snd others who unqualifediy condemn it ae aa impracti. | cable idea The elasticity of air is acknowledged, but its cepability of propeliing @ large vessel, through an ele- | ment so much denser than itself at a remunarative speed | | is by many mort seriously doubted, Should the prinei« ple, however, be found to work, it will produce nearly as great a change in mechanics as when stexm es a motive power was first introduced to an astonished publie. Ow. | ing to the lessened expense in making aud working 2 ca. lorie engine, and the total absence of danger by explo- Ging. if successful it will become a universal wid ia every- thing where motive power is required. Not only will ships and railway engises be fittea with it, but factorios, mi indeed every building where mush hoisting is done could easily be suppled with it, and ulticuately, by this way, entirely supersede the use of steam, ‘The manner in which it is eonteraplated to use caloric to prope] the ship Ericaeou, as we understand it, is by moans of tro engines, each engine being composed of two | eylinders—a lenge and ® smaller one—the latter placed | om the top of the former, with « small furnese under | all. ‘The larger cylinders are raid to be thirteen fect | dismeter—but as we, in common with other mem. | here of the press, have been denied an ocular demon. | station, we can only speak from hearsay. Each cylinder is worked by a separute piston, the two on one engine, however, working simultancously, When the engine is started, the piston of the upper cylinder in its descent opens several valves, through which the cold air immediately enters. On its ascent it closes theve valves, and the air is forced through other valves into a recviver, and thence into the large cylinder. In going. however, from the reeeiver into the bottom cylinder it pares through a regenerator, consisting of a heated net work of wire, formed by a number of layers, the whole about twelve inches thick, from which ft becomes heated to about 400 or 600 degrees, and when it enters the large, or what is called the working cylinder, it receives an additional heat of some forty more degrees, whieh about doubles its volume, and, by its endeavors to find room for ite great expansion, performs the duty of steam, Among the enumerated advantages thot @ vessel fitted with » caloric engine possesses are that rhe will consume only about one-tenth the facl of a steamer; that the cost of boilers is entirely savrd—the expemse of tho engines being about equal; thet only about one-fourth the samber of bands will bo reqaired to ran it; that the wear and fear. owing 10.4 shim elinlty ie buh snl tiene mm A Aten dion | Sevl then gave snother la | getan benest living.

Like many other inventions, its general adoption at first will probably be slow. The projectorsstate that they do vot expect to make @ passaze to England under four- teen or fifteem days; so that it will have to be more fully developed before it wilt be adopted by the ocean mail steamers. For screw yestels it would appear to be pecu. liarly adapted, and will probably, if successfal, at once ‘be used in vessels bound on long yoyages—to China or Celifornia~ aa from the small amount of fuel consumed a vestel fitted with it would be cnabled to carry sufficient coal for the whole passege, thus saviog the time and ex- penee of putting into intermediate por‘s fora fresh supply. ‘The practicability er impracticability of its successful usé 88 @ motive power, on a large scale, will be settled on the trial trip of the Ericsson, or by her ‘first yoynge.

THEIR IDPAS OF TRE GALLOWS, AND OPINION THE Law. The four cul) rits who were sentenced on last Satur- day tobe executed on the 28th day of Jenvary next, for the crime of murder, exhibited on their return from court to their respective cella in the Tombs, anything but # corrowful countenance. Howlett, Saul avd Joha- son, the three young men convicted tor the murder of Cherles Baxter, were as merry apd jovial as if they had nothing more than a few months imprisonment to serve, The wen Doyle, convicted for the murder of Mrs Connery, was tho only one out of the four that looked melancholy; he appeared to fecl the awful position in which he is now placed. Skortly after the sentence had beea pronounced, and the dcomed mem were sg-in secured in their eclls, wo visited the prison, and conversed with the unfortunate convists The first one we saw was Jobnson, He eon. | versed frecly, laughed, and expressed himself much sur- | prised at tbo law; and conid not conceive how it was that a man lying in « boat eway from the ship where the man was killed—bor it was poesible the jury could convict him of killing Baxter, when, to we his own language, be “nover seed the man,’ ‘nor wasn't there anyhow; but,” said he, laughingly, “we've all got toswing,I s'pose, any- | how.” i Saul was the next one we called upon, and to call him a wretched man would be an abourdity. The instant we | epoke to him be laughed loudly, and exclaimed, “Weil, the old judge bas given us just seven weeks longer to | live. They asked me in court if I bad auything to say. | That was a gocd joke. Whst was the use of me saying anything; the Judge would be sure to nentence us to be Langed. I could eee from the first they were all down on us, and are all bound to send us up. I could tell that when the M.

The doc: for's rcmerk caused quite a hearty laugh from Saul, who replied, * Ob! that’s nothing; why I’ve known mates of veseels to take a loaded musket by the side of their birth in the cabin, for the purpore of shooting any person who came to rob the ship, and the moment he fell acleep the musket was carried off, as was also his watch and money,” h, and shook his head, as much as te sey,“ We have done some bold deeds ” Said | bo. “iI never Was born a thief. nor should I be here now bad it not been for the M.

During the part week the stock market has been un- ususlly excited. ‘The spirit of speculation has ran high, end prices have rapidly advanced. We fear thatia many iustances the inflation has been too rapid, and thate reaction may be renlized that will produce a good deal of harm. It is, however, possible that speculators may sus- tain the movement, and even touch points considerably in advance of those now current. It would be welt enough, however, for those who have wide margins in their favor at present prices, to realize, to sell out, and put the profits where they cas be found whsn wanted. Tn such times it is not best to have too many eggs in one basket.
