The debate in the Waited States Senate, yesterday, as one of our corres” pondents aptly observes, marks the commencementof @ new epoch in our foreign affairs. The discussion rela- ‘tive to the Clayton and Bulwer treaty appears to have deen of a very exciting nature, and will be read with universal interest. Finding that they were wheedled into a confirmation of the measure, through an utter ignorance of Secretary Clayton’s extraor- @inary appendage thereto, the majority of Sena- tors seem now disposed to abrogate the whole con- ern, and will,in future, avoid all supplementary eoncessions to European acquisition of territory on this continent, by the reiteration and enforcement of ‘@he Monroe doctrine, as expressed in the resolution @ffered by General Cass. The controversy respecting the point of veracity between Messrs. King and (Chayton, is likely to place the latter gentleman in a position far from enviable in the eyes of the world. it is now shown that the acquiescence of Mr. K., and ether Senators,‘related solely to the privilege of the British to cut logwood in Honduras, and not to the | exercise of any jurisdiction over the country what- | ever. Furthermore, it has just come to light that | Mz. D. B. Taylor, will be “akely to prodace warm de- bate in a few dave, 686 Broadway—Bantaxp's Panq@rama OF TSE | the Hon. Abbott Lawrence, our late minister to | England, through documents which he discovered | im the British archives, was enabled to expose the ‘utter groundlessness of the claim of that government to any portion of Central America; in the very face | ef which exposure Mr. Clayton sanctioned the codicil to the treaty with Sir Henry Bulwer. In the corres- | pondence between them, Mr. Lawrence is reported to have almost cornered Lord Palmerston upon the subject, after which the negotiations were transferred to Washington. Mr. Clayton carefully withheld this | correspondence from the Senate, but it has now | been called for, and, upon its appearance, will open | ‘the eyes of mankind to one of the most outrageous diplomatic schemes to throw dust in the eyes of a whole nation that was ever recorded. There will, Probably, be another exciting controversy in the Benate to-day, as it is understood that more astound- ‘img disclosures will be made. Inthe meantime do mot neglect to read yesterday's proceedings. Bat little was done in the shape of business, in the | House of Representatives. After the disposal of a | few matters of minor importance, the body went into F Prior to adjournment, the Democratic Convention adopted « platfory,, in which, among other things, the most implicit, confidence was alleged to be re- ‘posed in Ger,. Pierce, and it was laid down as a sound rule of democratic doctrine, that our territorial limite should be invariably extended wherever an op- portay.ity offers. The funeral of the only child of Gen. Pierce took place in Concord yesterday. Our telegraphic cor- respondents have furnished a full account of the in- teresting ceremony. ‘The ball at Tammany Hall last night, in coname- moration of the atmiversary of the Battle of New Orleans, was fully equal to anything of the kindthat had hitherto tramspired in the old wigwam. The letters, speeches, &c., were to the purpose, and eli- cited the general approbation. We elsewhere publish @ full accountiof the festival, together with a descrip- tion of a sitailar celebration which took place in ‘Washington-city on Saturday evening last. It will be seen, by reference to our report ef the proceedings at a ball given by the Meagher Club, in honor of Thomas Francis Meagher, that he has made a very important speech, not only confirming all that he said at Cincinnati of the bigots ef his own creed, but going still greater lengths, and setting them at defiance. This may lead to very important results. The sword is drawn, and Meogher will not be ‘he first to sheathe it. Major-General Sandford was present, and applauded him enthusiastically, while he paid a high compliment to ‘the Irish race in America. The opera is the fashion now. Niblo’s and the Broadway were crowded last night with brilliant au- diences. Sontag and Alboni have captured the city. Sontag’s first night was magnificent. In the Board of Aldermen, iast evening, a petition was presented from Isaac Britton, who, we under- stand, was a deputy keeper, charging Mr. Keene, the warden of the penitentiary, Blackwell’s Island, with malpractices to a very serious-extent. It is but fair to state that Alderman Peck, who presented it, stated that he was unaware of its contents, and requested permission to withdraw it. This was refused, and after some debate, in which the majority called for an investigation the paper was referred to a special committee. An alarm of fire was caused, yesterday forenoon, in Ward School No. 30, by a defect in one of the flues by which the building is heated. There were about two hundred scholers present at the time, and, most fortunately, no accident occurred. The Jackson Guards, of this city, were inspected yesterday by Colonel Ferris, in Tompkins square. They were afterwards reviewed by the Mayor and Common Council in front of the City Hall. They paraded to celebrate the anniversary of the battle New Orleans. Last evening the Rev. E. H. Chapin delivered a brilliant lecture to a very large and respectable au- dience at the Mechanics’ Hall, Broadway, on the life | and character of John Hampden, the English patriot. He briefly reviewed English history previous to the reign of Charles the First, and traced the career of Hampden, from his opposition to the arbitrary im_ position of ship money until the time of his death. In concluding his remarks, he did not think it necessary to eulogise Hampden, as there existed no stain upon his memory, and argued that he was in every respect the counterpart of Washington. The New York Horticultural Society met last even- ing, and, after the transaction of some business, and receiving reports of committees, adjourned to the first Monday in the next month. The report of the new City Inspector, for the past week, shows that three hundred and twenty-one per- sons died in New York up to Saturday. Forty-two died from consumption, and forty-three were carried off by fevers of various type. One hundred and nine- ty-five of the entire number were under ten years of age. Health of the city good. Our columns this morning contain various de- spatches concerning marine disasters, the opening of the Baltimore and Ohio milroad, robberies, &c., and an immense variety of general news, to which we have no room to more particularly refer. The News oy the America and Humboldt— The New British Ministry. At length. after ten months’ excitement, Lord Derby’s race is run. He took power avowedly as a protectionist, virtually as a pis aller—the last resource of the country—his whole strength being the weakness of the Russell party. Dur- ing these ten months he has broken more pledges. trampled on more ties, violated more promises, and repudiated more oaths, than any minister who ever ruled the destinies of Great Britain. He has disgusted the country party, who have seen their chief throw principle to the winds. for the sake of office; unsettled the con- victions of the protectionists by undertaking to carry out a free trade policy, and turned the re- spect with which even his opponents loved to regard him, into contempt for his apostacy, and indignation for his want of faith. He has carried no great measure of public interest. has not add- ed a single useful law to the statute book, or | corrected any one of the frightful abuses under | which England is groaning. So far as the country is concerned, the historian will be unable to trace | to Earl Derby’s administration any single im- | provement, either in the condition of the people or the spirit of the laws. No minister ever had a more splendid opportunity ; none ever did less. Called to the government of the country @emmittee of the whole nominally on the deficiency | at a time when everything presaged an easy Sppropriation bill; whereupon Mr. Bell, Ohio whig, | took the floor, and expressed his opinions in oppo- sition to the acquisition of territory generally, and im the South particularly. He was succeeded by Mr. Skelton, New Jersey democrat, who derided the idea @f conferring the title of Lieutenant-General upon General Scott. He, in tarn, was followed by Mr. ‘Weightman, the delegate from New Mexico, who de- Mended the people of that territory from the charges of the Secretary of War, that it was a waste of money to expend it in their defence against the Indians. ‘Without one word having been uttered about the bill sapposed to be under discussion, the committee rose, and the House adjourned. All our Washington correspondents agree in the gmertion that Senator Hunter will not go into the @abinet of General Pierce. Of all the rumors and speculations regarding the assistants of the incoming administration, this appears to be the first “fixed fact’ that has beengarrived at. Hon. W. R. King was to leaye Washington to-day, for the purpose of meeting the Havana steamer at Norfolk; but, from the tone of our despatches, we fear that his continued ill health will thwart his in- tentions. Indeed, it is believed that the venerable statesman will never more go beyond the confines of the national capital. The general details of the European intelligence brought by the steamer Humboldt, possess many | features of marked interest, not the least striking of which is the announgement of the overthrow of the old ministry, and the formation of a new one, with @en. Roncali as the premier. As several of the mem bers of this new cabinet have resided for a long time on the islaud of Cuba, and had every opportanity of becoming thoroughly acquainted with the wants and requirements of its inhabitants, their movements will of course be watched with unusual interest, not only by the Cubans themselves, but by the people of this eountry. The problem is now to be solved as to whether Spanish diplomatists can learn anything from experience. . The proceedings in the State Legislature, yester day, were of considerable general importance, as wil) be seen by the report, and also by the despatch from | @aur special correspondent. A bill bas been introduced into the Pennsylvania Benate through Pennsylvania, to hold slaves during their | transit. By-the-way, the bill of a similar character, Iptzcduced into the Legislatare of our own State by to allow citizens of other States, passing | ~ reign—when the treasury was overflowing—the people contented—trade prosperous—the whigs divided, and sunk in public esteem—the most bitter of Lord Derby’s opponents could not but expect that he would cover himself with renown, and exercise a beneficial sway over the king- dom for many a year. This was the confident hope of his friends and the reluctant anticipa- tion of his enemies. The result we have already mentioned. We have said all, in fact, when we assert that he has done nothing—unless, perhaps, proving to the world that toryism is dead, and that an anti-liberal minister cannot rule Great Britain, be an exploit worth chronicling. He is fallen, and not a single regret wil soothe his disappointment. Whatever be the policy of his successors, it cannot but be wel- comed as @ beneficial change, after the con- temptible tergiversation and anti-popular bear ings of the conservative ministry of 1852. And, indeed, if we may judge of that policy from the well known character of the men who are said to constitute the new cabinet, few but will congratulate Great Britain on the result of the crisis. There are not many men in England who are better fitted for the post of First Lord of the Treasury than Lord Aberdeen. It is well known that the best liberals are those who have been conservatives long enough to become thoroughly acquainted with the fallacy of an unbending anti-reform policy—your born de- mocrat invariably culminates either in an aim- less demagogue or a stiff conservative. Lord Aberdeen’s experience of power, under such men as the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, will enable him to profit by their errors while he turns to good account the sound prin ciples which guided their conduct. In foreign too, he will be an invaluable oracle years experience as a diplomatist have not been lost on him. It is something new to find Lord John Rus- ell in the Foreign Office, and Lord Palmerston Home Secretary. People have been so long accustomed to see the parts transpesed, that it je 0 dificult ma to pleture Lord John writ- affairs. "ESE OS AT — ing protocols, while Lord Palmerston is guper- | swer—that the intends g the of the mivitia, ‘The events of December, 1831, however, rendered this distribution of office inevitable. With all his talent—and assaredly he has no equal in the cabinet—Lord Palmerston could not be suffered to run the ‘rick of embroiling the country for the sake'of Wisplaying his own dexterity, or to situp his 'ffogers at the Queen, when the Privy Council ventured to remonstrate with him on Dis' political course. No office, in any govern- ‘ment, can be entrusted to the uncontrolled management of one individual; much les’ could the important trust of the foreign relations of ‘Great Britain be confided to one whose impa- ‘tience of restraint, and whose pride, could not brook the smallest interference. As Home Secretary, Lord Palmerston will not be so fami- liar with the details of his office as to disdain the advice of his colleagues; and he will bring to the discharge of his duties that enorgy and indomitable perseverance which have rendered him one of the first statesmen of Europe. Though Lord John Russell has never. we be- lieve. held the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, his experience as Firet Lord of the Treasury abun- dantly establishes his fitness for the post. Under his prudent management, it is very unlikely that the House of Commons will be enlivened at periodical intervals. by scenes of excitement such as Lord Palmerston used to delight in; but, in return, the foreign relations of Great Britain will be maintained on a firm basis, and the United States, as well as other countries, may confidently expect to be treated with libe- rality, candor. and good feeling. His strong free trade opinions will probably exercise a potent influence on the convention respecting the fisheries and reciprocity, which will shortly be concluded between Great Britain and this country. Of the other names mentioned—Mr. Glad- stone, Sir. J. Graham and Sir C. Wood—it would be premature to say anything until we know what offices they are to fill. They are all of them able men, and though they may be classed under other heads than the general de- signation of liberals, there can be no doubt that their policy will be as progressive as the most ardent free trader could wish. On the whole, as Americans. we have reason to be satisfied with the new ministry. The lives of its leading men are safe guaran- tees that the rights of foreign nations will be respected, and that. whatever accidents may happen, the great calamity of an in- terruption of our relations with Great Britain is out of the question. We have, besides, every reason to believe that the Aber- deen administration will pursue an enlightened home policy, and will steadily aim at the ame- lioration of the condition of the poorer classes. This consideration, though affecting us less di- rectly than the former, is by no means indif- ferent. As men, we cannot look with apathy on the defeat of toryism and the restoration of liberal men and principles to power, in any country; more especially at a‘ time when we have ourselves emphatically declared our adhe- sion to the democratic or progress party of our own land. As Americans, the fates of England touch us more closely. Linked as we are to her, by the ties of a common origin @ common tongue, and a common faith—insepa- rably united by our commercial interests— her welfare must ever be, next to our our own, the dearest aim of every right-minded citizen. Not only on high grounds of attach. ment to the country whence our forefathers eyrung, Lut On more tangible reasons of public and private interest, ought we to rejoice that the government of Great Britain has fallen into the hands of men who will make it their aim to care for the welfare of the people, and alle- viate the awful load of misery which am- bitious ministers and reckless monarchs have heaped on the necks of their subjects. England cannot prosper without reflecting a share of her prosperity on the United States—every ad- ditional shilling that is placed in the pocket of the operative at Manchester or Leeds, enables him to become a larger consumer of our cotton and our corn. The advent to power of a new British ministry is of far greater moment to the people of this country than many of the events which from time to time engross their attention. Tue CuBAN AUTHORITIES AND THE AFFAIR OF THE Crescent Crry.—In the Vew Orleans Bee of the 3d instant, we find the following state- ment, very important, if true :— The Havana journals announce that Queen Isabel approves, without reserve, the line of conduct pur- sued by the Sep ceneral Canedo, in the affuir of the Crescent City. We doubt the truth of this statement; but if it has any foundation in truth, it is of the first im- portance to the government of the United States, and to the country at large. It must be in the recollection of all our readers that the President, in his meseage, censured the conduct of Canedo, and said that the matter had been referred to the Spanish government at home, who would, he doubted not, set allright. The following are the President’s words :— The affairs of Cuba formed a prominent topic in my last annual message. They remain in an uneasy condition, and a feeling of alarm and irritation on the part of the Cuban authourities to exist. This feeling has interfered with the pevlar commercial intercourse between the United States and the island, and led to some acts of which we have a right to com- plain. But the Captain-General of Cuba is clothed with no power to treat with foreign governments, nor is he in any de; under the control of the Spanish Minister at Washington. Any communica- tion which he may hold with an agent of a foreign bed is informal and matter of courtesy. Anxious put an end to the existing inconveniences, (which seemed to rest on a misconception,) I directed the newly appointed Minister to Mexico to visit Havana on his way to Vera Cruz. He was respectfully received id the Captain-General, who conferred with him freely on the recent occurrences; but no permanent arrangement was effected. In the meantime, the refusal of the Captain-General to allow passengers and the mail to be landed in certain caves, for a reason which does not furnish, in the opinion of this government, even a good pre- sumptive ground for such a prohibition, has been made the subject of a serious remonstrance at Mad. rid; and Ihave no reason to doubt that due respect will be paid by the government of her Catholic Ma- Jesty to the representations which our Minister has been instructed to make om the subject. According to the President, the regular com- mercial intercourse has been interfered with by Captain General Canedo, and has led to acts of which the United States has a right to com- plain; and no permanent arrangement was ef- fected by the administration at Washington with the Captain General, because he had no power to treat. But the Spanish government at Madrid had power to treat, and, accordingly, aserious remonstrance has been made there. Will that remonstrance be “treated with due respect!” There is not time as yet fora re- ply; but according to the statement quoted above, not only no respect will be paid to it but, on the contrary, the Spanish government will back up Canedo in all his doings, or, in the words of the Havana papers, “approve, without reserve, the line of conduct pursued by him.” We hope, when the time comes. that some mem- ber of Congress will move for the official cor- respendence—the remonstrance and the an- sition it stand’ and whether an insult can be offre to its fmg with impanity, and ita commerce may be interrupted by an of ficial of the Spanish government without that government affording any redress, or the chief magistrate of this republic asserting its dig- nity, and maintaining its interests, by taking ‘that satisfaction which wag refused. In 1812, when the nation was young, and its giant strength undeveloped, the greatest power in Europe—a power that then was regarded as the mistress of the ocean—was not permitted to in- terfere with our commerce, or to violate our flag, with impunity. War was declared in vin- dication of both, and the result, which was wound up by “Old Hickory” at New Orleans, taught England a lesson she has never since forgotten, (though occasionally, during the re- gime of some imbecile administrations, she seemed to forget it,) and every other European power has learned to respect our star-spangled banner. Now that we are thirty-one States, have a population of twenty-five millions, and our broad land is bordered by two oceans, in both of which our flag waves triumphant, shall we suffer that flag to be dishonored or our com- merce to be interrupted by the feeblest maritime power of Europe? That is the question that remains to be solved; and if the solution should be in the affirmative, why, then, instead of this great nation going ahead and keeping pace with its mighty destiny, there would be the most conclusive evidence of a retrograde po- licy, our prestige would be destroyed, and every other nation would soon follow the example of Spain. The Operas. MADAME SONTAG’S DEBUT IN OPERA. New York has not possessed a Bertucca, a Thillon and an Alboni for this many a day, without becoming tole- rably well acquainted with “La Figlia del Reggimento.”” There are few operas, in fact, with the airs and story of which we are all of us more familiar than Donizetti’s masterpiece—that charming romance in which the loves and sorrows and filial affection of the regimental vivan- diere by turns amuse and sadden the spectator. Madame Sontag could scarcely have chosen safer ground on which to meet the public, Accordingly, a vast multitude thronged Niblo’s Garden last evening, and the admirable execution of the overture was drowned by the din of new comers in search of seats, The military precision of Carl Eckert was lost onan audience which was divided into two hostile camps—the one seeking the number corres- ponding to certain green tickets ostentatiously held up to the usher, and the other angrily demanding that peace be restored, at whatever cost. The latter portion were victorious as the curtain rose; the heavy accompaniment of the armianci drowned the tread of ladies’ feet, and the audience were alluwed to savor the grand melody of the opening prayer—Cielo clemente—in appropriate silence. Not a note oracostume which shocks the ear or the eye; the whole is exactly what it ought to be, and we are already in an excellent humor when the honest face of our excellent friend, Badiali, with moustache well pow- dered, and grizly perruque, makes its appearance on the stage. A hearty burst of welcome shows that we are not alone in congratulating Madame Sontag on the acquisi- tion of such a Sulpizio—such a manly, thorough vieux de la vielle does he make!—something so genial and pleasant there is in his way, that we are not inthe least surprised whe Marie cries her little heart out at leaving him; and we rather wonder she contrives todoxo atall. Andthen what a rich, deep, manly variation that is! The notes boom along like distant thunder, and blend so harmoniously with Son- tag’s clear soprano, that all the old stories about oaks and ivy which we heard in our youth, rush rapidly into our memory. Down goes the regulation musket to the ground. Hae trill like a nightingale outside! lay to starts. He does not know, though the spectator does, that no one but Sontag could sing that trill. And now she comes, bounding and dancing as blithe and merry as a young fawn, or, rather, as a thoughtless, careless, happy, fam vivandiere, as she is. A hasty curtesey to the pub- ic, a momentary check to the mischievous smile which is laying on her lips, to bow her thanks, and, ere we have Pasvitiarized oak aye wit oe uniform petticoat, the touching apparv luce campo guerrier, serves as a sort of inte juction, We are bewitched; and Tonio (Poz- zolini) sings with great feeling his loves and sorrows, without our paying very great attention to either. We Rave no ears for anything anti! the Daughter of the Regi. ment sings their favorite Ctascun lodice; and again we feel a curious sensation that such music would go along way to redeem the folly of tags and feathers. We revive, and appreciate the very excellent rendering of the duct, ‘A voli cosi ardente, &e. “Pozzolini sings with great feeling —he throws his whole soul into his voice, and the latter being naturally good and highly cultivated, he can sus- tain the dangerous proximity to Madame Sontag, in which he stood last night. ‘We must hasten to a close. We should cover more ce than is consistent with other themes were we to allude to the other gems of the evening—the partir con- viene—the pretty trio, stretti nisiem, in which i ap- peared to great advantage, and the other exquisite motifs with which the opera abounds—or to repeat what has been so often said in these columns, that, as a mezzo- soprano, cultivated to the highest piteh, and often inspired by the genius of u true artist, Madame Sontag is unrival- led. We could have wished for the drum scene, which wan omitted, and the salut @ la France, in which Madame Thillon seems likely to preserve an undisputed throne; But we presume the gods willed it otherwise, and we submit. On the whole, we doubt whether the ‘Figlia del Reg- gimento”’ was ever produced more creditably on the stage at Paris, London, Naples or Berlin, than we witnessed it last night. Every detail was perfect, and no one ever sung it with more grace or science than Madame Sontag. MADAME ALBONI AT THR BROADWAY. Another crowded and brilliant house greeted the peer. Jess contralto on her appearing last evening in the delight- ful opera of “Sonnambula.” Her impersonation of the loving, artless, confiding heroine, interchanging, vows of affection with her bethrothed, and afterwards, while suf- fering under the cruel imputation to which her sleep. walking malady exposed her, was throughout perfect, and showed her at once the great artiste and the magnifi. cent vocalist. The audience were enthusiastic in their admiration, encored wherever there was a chance, and hie Tpisde fea No wonder that they were held Imost spell-bound while Alboni was singing the “ Comé Sereno” and the “ Ab non Giunge’’—the gems of the ope- ra—and that at the end of they gave expression to their raptures in continuous plaudits and shouts of bravo. At the conclusiog of each of the acta, Alboni was called before the curtain to receive further evidences of the ad- miration she had kindled. The réle of Lisa was admira- bly sustained by Madame Siedenburgh—a ery pleasing singer and actrees. Signor supported the charac- ter of Count Rodolfo with t u00ees; and ini made his début here as Elvino. We must say that there in great room for improvement. in this ariide. A new let divertisement, entitled ‘‘ A Fétc at Constantinople.”’ followed the opera. City Intelligence. REVIEW OF THE JACKSON GUAKD. This ey Senet beg em solemnized the anni- versary of the battle of New Orleans by a full muster and dress parade, yesterday. About half-past twelve o’clock the men formed in Tompkins square, under the command of Capt. P. D. Kelly, Lieuts. Murphy and Keenan, and Adjutant Doherty. They numbered pe muskets, and their arms, uniforms and equipment, reflected honor upon the members, the country, and the memory of the Old Hero. Ina short time the guard was reviewed by Col.

On his return to Europe, after a long residence in the East, Professor Morse commenced experimenting with this wonderful natural production, and the result of his labors is the Invi ting Elixir, which has been endorsed by the medical colleges of all the (eee cities of Europe, as the best preparation extant, for the CURE OF NERVOUS DISEASES. No language can convey sn adequate idea of the imme- diate and almost miraculous which it occasions in the diseased, debilitated, and ‘ttered nervous sys- tem. Whether broken down by excess, weak by nature, or impaired by sickness, the unstrung and relaxed or.

He stands erect; he moves with a firm step; hig mind, which was previously sunk in gloom, of an alinoat idiotic apathy, becomes bright, buoyant, and active; and he goes forth’ refreshed, regenerated, and conscious of new vigor, to his accustomed occupations, Nor is the effect temporary. On the contrary, the relief is perma- nent, for the cordial properties of the medicine reach the constitution itself, and restore it to its normal condition. Well may the preparation be called the MEDICINAL WONDER ofthe nineteenth century.
