The News. ‘The details of the four days later European intelli gence, which we publish to-day, will attract unusual attention. We learn that the difficulty between Tur- Key, and Russia and Austria, at one time assumed a far more threatening aspect than had been antici- pated; but at last advices there was a prospect that the disagreement would be settled without com- promising any of the EuropeanfStates. The released Madiai family,had reached Marseilles. The Austrian @ecree against Britieh travellers in the former coun- try bas been revived, and will probably have the effect of widening the breach between the people of the two nations. Ireland continues to embark her thousands of human beings for this continent. Prince Albert, together with a large number of dis- tinguished Europeans, is preparing to send various articles for exhibition to our Crystal Palace. The Liverpool cotton market was quiet; at prices slightly favoring buyers, but breadstuffs were without any notable change. Governor Seymour yesterday transmitted a mes- sage tothe Legislature, which we publish in full, ‘urging upon the members of the two bodies such ac- tion as will ensure the speedy enlargement of the eanals. The Senate, after a brief discussion, simply referred this document to the select com- mittee on the canals. In the Assembly it seems to have afforded Mr. Burroughs an op- portunity of making quite a lengthy speech. He declared that it was a premeditated design on the part of the Governor to thwart the deter. mination of no less than seventy members—a clear majority of twelve—who had pledged themselves to support Senator Vanderbilt's proposition to amend the constitution, in order to provide means for en- larging and completing the canals. Doubtless to the great gratification of office-expect- ants, Mr. Cooley yesterday assented to the holding ofan executive session, and the consequence was that all the Governor's nominations were read and referred to the proper committees. Among them ‘were about one hundred Notaries Public for all parts of the State, which Mr. C. unsuccesfully proposed to eonfirm immediately. It is reported that not a single Harbor Master, or any other officer of note, was announced. This rather tends to exculpate Mr. Cooley from the charge of his political friends, that Be was lending assistance to retain whigs in office. With the exception of the time spent on execu- tive business, nearly the whole session of the Senate ‘up to the hour of recess, was occupied by Mr. Cooley im a speech relative to Mr. Vanderbilt's constitu- tional amendments. He made a regular onslaught upon Messrs. McMurray and Pierce, Comptroller Wright, and other members of the democratic party, whom Mr. C. accuses of desiring to read him out of the ranks, but who, he alleges, have jumped out themselves. A very full report of this political mor- eeaw is given under the proper head. During the evening, we learn from our special correspondent, Mr. Cooley offered a substitute for Mr. Vanderbilt's proposition, which was ordered to a third reading by a vote of twenty to five. If Mr. Burroughs is cor- rect, these measures are certain to go threugh the As- sembly. Our correspendent is under the. impression that this substitute will effecually settle the whole canal question, and fer that reason furnishes a copy of the new proposition. In order that our readers may know what has been done by their legislators at Albany, ave to-day give a correct list of the sixty-four acte toast have passed and become laws since the commenesment of the session. Two executive ressions were held by the Mnited States Senate yesterday. Gen. Houston's resolution proposing to authorize those recently engaged in the Mexican Roundary Survey to furnish one thou- sand copies of al] such information of general in- terest as they may have collected, was dehated et sength, and then tabled. The telegraphs to-day furnish ontlines of the re turns of the recent elections, Crom which we gather that the democrats of Connecticut have elected all their State officers and Congressmen, and witi have large majorities in both branches.of the Legislature. In Concord, N. H., the democrats have elected their Mayor. The whigs have elected their Mayor and # majority of both boards of Cowacil in Portland, Me. Neal Dow, the father of the Meine liquor law, only received three hundred and fifty-three votes for the first named office. The free soil party are re- ported to have secured a majority of the Councilmen aul other officers in Cincinnati; but having ran two candidates for Mayor, the regular democratic nominee was elected to that office. By way of Boston we have some late intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope, which is quite inter- esting, particularly to shippers and those having friends on their way to Australia. The usual quantum of serious casualties are fur- nished by the telegraphs. Three children lost their lives by the burning of their parents’ house, in West Claremont, N. H., on Sunday night. A large num- ber of persons were severely wounded by the ex- plosion of a boiler, in a rolling mill, at Covington, r ov. Twenty houses, worti:, with thei Auorteie, wo Oub Murtytye tousand gollars, wer | Wks Will wot ve An over-mateh for this ¢: consumed in Charleston, last Monday. The U.S. steamer Saranac was ashore, and in a bed predica- ment, st Warsaw Sound, near Savannah, on Monday. The U. S. steam frigate Mississippi is reported to have been compelled to sail fer Japan from the Cape of Good Hope, without waiting for her consorts to arrive, in consequence of the frequent desertions of her crew, who were probably desirous of going to Australia. One poor fellow was found drowned shortly after the M. left. The New York Historical Society held their regular monthly meeting at their rooms in the Uni- versity, last evening, when Mr. John C. Devereux read a highly interesting paper on William Penn as lawgiver, stateaman, and, eminently, the apostle of religious liberty and equality. He traced the career of William Penn amid the persecutions which were inflicted upon him in his endeavors to procure re- ligious freedom during the time of the Stuarts. Penn, he believed, was at least one century in advance of his countrymen; and, standing aloof from all in- trigues in the most intriguing court, taking no di- rect or personal part in politics, a candidate for no office, he was the very man to carry out the project which has proved so eminently suceessful. Penn re- garded as a dangerous opinion, that because men did not agree as to the things which belonged to another life, they should not be at liberty to eat, drink, talk, sleep, and think in this, and maintained that the understanding could be ap- pealed to better by reason than by force. Mr. Deve- reux concluded his remarks by pointing out the obli- gations which this country was ander to the founder of Pennsylvania, and said that the career of William Penn embodied the views of one inspired by nature to speak truly—‘ be just and fear not.” We are compelled to postpone this able address. There was no progress made in the special order as to salaries, at the meeting of the ten Governors yesterday, except the appointment of a special com- mittee. The debates upon and struggle for the city spoils are highly entertaining. The vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Robeson, in the medical board of Bellevue Hospital, was filled up, and three new members added to that body. A new clerk at the City Prison was also appointed. A deputation was appointed to proceed to Albany to ask fora law authorizing the raising a loan to build the work- house, and a discussion on the efficacy of ‘ lobby- ing” ensued. A curious case came up yesterday before the Po- lice Court. A young German woman, named Curo- line Schmidt. was arrested, charged with robbing Mr. Benzon, her employer, in Boston, of a quantity of jewelry, and having been subsequently concerned in the perpetration of a burglary. A detailed ac- count of the proceedings in the case of this some- what romantic female will be published to-morrow. Want of room obliges us to omit notices of the performances at the various places of amusement last evening. For the attractions to-night, see the advertisements. Qur inside pages to-day contain a very interesting letter from Havana relative to the Slave Trade of Cuba; Political Letter from Providence concerning the election which is to take place in Rhode Island to-day; Proceedings in the different Courts, includ- ing the Presentment against the Bonded Warehouse; Financial and Commercial Affairs, Advertise- ments, &c. The Slave Trade tn Cuba, It is a deplorable fact, that while in every portion of the globe the slave trade has been effectually suppressed, it still retains its stronghold on the island of Cuba alone. Solemn treaties, entered into between England and Spain for its eradication, have been violated in the most open and shameless manner; the strong fleet which Great Britain maintains to cruise in the Sea of the Antilles, and intercept slave trading vessels, has not had the desired effect ; the cry of shame, issuing from every civilized people throughout the world, has awak- ened no sense of virtue or remorse in the bosoms of Spanish officials; and the diabolical slave trade with Cuba flourishes and luxuriates to an extent never before experienced. Week after week the New York Heratp has recorded the circumstances of slave vessels disembarking their human cargoes on this or that part of the island ; our correspondent has been vigilant and faithful. toa remarkable degree, in hunting up facts and exposing the connivance of the autho- rities ; and if we have effected noother good by our exertions, we have at least opened the eyes of the English government to the magnitude on which the nefarious system is pursued, and stimulated it to increased exertions to annihilate the traffic. Resulting from the exposés we have from time to time given, of every landing of slaves on the island, and the circumstantial narratives thereof which appeared in our columns, and which commanded belief, the attention of the British government has been more resolutely concentrated on that Gem of the Antilles; and. according to our last accounts, we learn that two English war steamers have arrived there to reinforce the powerful fleet cruising around the island. Another effect which this constant exposure in our columns of the slave-dealing proclivities of the Cuban government has wrought, is. to impress the Captain General with the necessity of adopting Hamlet's philosophy, to “assume a virtue though you have it not,” and, conse- quently, that high functionary has of late mani- fested a considerable share of activity—which might be laudable, were it not that it is all the merest sham—in causing the arrest of several petty, insignificant agents, in this now na- tional line of commerce. But all the time the connivance and connection of himself and his officials with the wholesale importers of the raw material are as well understeod, and matters of as general cognizance, as they have heretofore been. General Canalo, however, thinks by this puerile dodge to dis- prove the charges made and supported against him in the Hrratp—to bamboozle John Bull into a belief that the Cuban government is sincere in its desire to put an-end to the slave trade, and to ward off the dangers which he sees menace him and his viceroyalty frem the de- termined attitude assumed by the British government. We are afraid, however, that his Excellency’s little trick is éoo patent and too easily seen throwgh to afford him much benefit. General Canelo does not, however, de- pend solely and exclusively on this hood- winking operation, but he orgenizes another little mameuvre in support of it. This is nothing less than the despatching of his political secretary—Iaon Martin Galiano—to London. for the purpose of haviag a quiet chet with the Minister of Foreign Afieirs, repreeentieg to him the activity and sincerity of his master ia striy- ing to pot anend to the nefarious praetice of slave dealing, contyadicting all that has been stated to his prejudice in the New York payors and bumbugging Lord John Russell into the belief that Captain General Canedo and politi- eal Sceretary Galiano are a pair of the most cruelly wronged ly and virtuous individuals, within the dominions of her Catholic Majesty. Well, much fears for the suecess of this scheme as of that already put in operation in Havana, We doubt if the astute little gentleman in Downing treet who holds the portfolio of F Af long suffering, sain we entertain as a erent ie te a le Riri Uriah Heep; and, perhape, he'will even enlighten that “very ‘umble” individual as to the opinion the English government entertains of himself and his exalted master. The statements contained in our Havana correspondence, published in another portion of our columns to-day, will have, doubtless, some effect in frustrating the schemes entered into between Messrs. Canedo and Galiano. By it it will be seen that the slave traffic has attained an unexampled height of activity on the island, notwithstanding the presence of the British fleet and the very efficient measures taken by the Captain General. The total num- ber of slaves imported into Cuba last year reached the figure of three thousand and odd ; but there have been already within the three first months of 1853 no less than four thousand miserable wretches conveyed into, and publicly disposed of, in the island. Of what avail are General Canedo’s assurances of sincerity. in adopting stringent repressive means, against this damning evidence of his complicity with the slave dealers, for it is preposterous to ima- gine that the latter succeeded in baffling the watchfulness of government officials? Against the protestation of Galiano we furnish. in ad- vance. these irrefragible facts ; and, therefore, we predict for him that his mission to England, on which he is to set out on the 10th instant, will be a fruitless one ; and that if it be productive of any result at all, it will be of a large share of contempt for the insincere and shuffling con- duct of himself and his superior. Tue Work Gors On.—From the daily lists of nominations and confirmations received from our telegraphic correspondents at Washington, our readers will be amply satisfied that General Pierce is acting rapjdly, upon the principle that the sooner the whigs in office are relieved of their suspense the better. The work goes on. Whole batches of attorneys, collectors, post- masters, surveyors, judges, receivers, and the like, are despatched at morning's sitting of the cabinet; and before dinner time the next dvy the Senate have pronounced thema all good men and true. Among the applicants pretty liberally provided for, are a number of those ex-members of Congress who would otherwise, in default of a re-election, be thrown, perhaps, out of employment. *‘The work goes bravely on.” Others who were active among the workies of the campaign, have, also, returned from Washington with a writ of habeas corpus against some unfortunate whigs. who. failing in the election of Gen. Scott, have thus lost their bread and butter. And still the work goeson. Some, who have been among the most industrious of the office-seekers, have failed, while others, who have kept aloof, have been hunted up and promoted. And still the work goes swimmingly on. The guillotine runs as smooth as oil—no groans, no shrieks, no heart-breaking lamentations rend the air. Never saw the like! But there is patriotism in submission, when four years may turn up another trump—perhaps. Who knows? But still the work goes on. Tue Pacrric Rartroap Company.—There are certain whig journals in this State, as we are eorry to discover, that can find neither consti- tutionality, nor justice, nor expediency in the bill before the Legislature for chartering the New York Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com- pany. We have no doubt that the secret of this hostility lies in the fact that Levi S. Chatfield. who heads the list of the proposed incorpora- ion, is a democrat. and that other distin- guiehed names of the same political party are also in the schedule. This is a sorry business. A principal objection to granting the charter seems to be, that if the company can get the contract from Congress, they will sell out on speculation, which is a mere conjecture. But suppose they do—what will the State lose by it, or the tax payers of New York? Nothing. Besides, is it not incumbent upon this State and this city, destined to be the Atlantic depot of the Pacific Railroad, wherever and however it may be built, to lead off in the work—to give it a start in some definite shape, like that practi- cal plan of the bill before the Assembly? Let the Legislature, therefore, pass the bill; for where nothing is to be lost. in any event, and in view of the grand and glorious work pro- posed, the people cannot fail to endorse it. Let us start the road, here at its Atlantic terminus. Let us put the ball in motion. Let New York have the honor of commencing the work. Ovr New Cottector. —Mr. Dickinson, our new Collector, has risen again suddenly from the quiet retirement of his country residence at Binghamton to a star of the first magnitude. in the estimation of the hungry democracy. At the Baltimore Convention he held the destinies of this country in his hands. There was a crisis when, had he said the word, William L. Marcy would have been the democratic nomi- nee. There was another crisis when, had he remained silent or retired from the hall, Daniel S. Dickinson himself would inevitably have received the nomination. But, after defeating the champion of the soft ghells. Mr. Dickinson sacrificed himself in his fidelity to Gen. Cass, the anointed of the hard shells, as a simple matter of duty. But it is one of the most curi- ous of the curiosities of politics, that this gen- tleman, who might have been President of the United States by simply remaining in his chair or walking out of the room, should be called upon as the only proper medium for a basis of harmony between the hard shellsand soft shells of this city, in their squabble tor the collector- ship. The important question, however, re- mains yet to be settled. Will he accept, or will he and his friends contrive yet to turn the charge of this port over to Augustus Schell? We ex- ypect @ solution of this problem in a few days. ‘Aard shells, to the rescue. Tue Tenvanterec Dirrtcunty—Santa ANNA. —The Senate of the United States have evi- dently determined to let the difficulty concern- ing the Garay treaty of the Tehuantepec route workout its own solution. On the other hand, the administration have been flattered by a movement of the Mexican provisional govern- ment, which will most probably turn out no- thing betéer than another Mexican expedient to kill time. This proceeding is the appointment of two commissioners to talk the matter over with Judge Conkling. our Minister Plenipo- tentiary. They will beguile him till’the re-in: statement of Santa Anna intp absolute power, when we should not be surprised i were superseded altogether hy pr the total revolutionizing of the Mexican repnb- lie back to the domfnion of Spain. On this sub- ject, we repeat, there is abundance of matter for the prompt and serfous consideration of our cabinet: Mexican though he is, the return of is business coodings for Tux Mame Liqvor Law at “¢gwronr.—The annual election in Rhode Islr,nd comes off to- day. A Governor, Lieutena’at Governor, State officers, Congressmen and tnembers of the Le- gislature, are to be elected. The question is also to be taken, whether the Maine liquor law, in operation in that State, shall or shall not be repealed, The Newport Daily News, a whig paper, gives the following instructions on this subject :— The question in relation to the liquor law, upon which the vote is to be taken, is, ‘shall the law be repealed?” Those who desire its repeal will depo- site the vote upon which is printed Yes.” Those ppored to its repeal, the vote upon which is printed “No.” Let every well-disposed, true Newport man vote “ Yes.” But the Newport editor is not satisfied with this. Upon the question of the repeal of this law. he says that the voters throughout the vast and powerful State of Rhode Island will vote “yes,” and that Yes, is the answer of every friend of the constitu- tion and the laws. Yes, is the answer of every man who would have his house his castle. Yes, is the answer of every man who would preserve his family from intrusion and insult. Yes, he answers, who ab- hors spies and informers, the vile fruits of this law. Yes, he answers, who has seen life, liberty and pro- perty at the mercy of false accusations. Yes, he answers, who knows that laws like these are cloaks for malice and revenge. Yes, he says, who holds his liberty and his property too sacred to be at the mer- cy of perjurers, or suborners of perjurers. Yes, he says, who is liable to be imprisoned for six months by the order of a justice of the peace. And all are Mable under this law. Thus, it will be scen that the Newporters have made the discovery that their summer visiters don’t like to be restricted to nothing but salt water with their oysters. Shall the law continue? This day will settle the mighty quéstion for Newport. Liquor or no liquor. Take your Re a A Question ror THE Lawyrrs.—Were not the laws of this commonwealth so stringent against the practice of the “thirty-nine arti- cles” of the code of honor, and were not our cotemporaries of the Journal of Commerce conscientiously hostile to the settlement of ac- counts in gunpwder, we should be under some apprehensions that our amiable cotemporary of the Courier had placed himself in a position to be shot at. In alluding to the Barr and Butler controversy he speaks with astonishing direct- ness to the main point at issue between the parties, to wit: the highly important question of veracity. But does he really mean to charge the incorruptible Mr. Butler with perjury? The question has now become a good bit of salt pork for the lawyers. Let them have it. In all this muddy water there are not only two or three railroad conductors floundering about, but there is “flat burglary” at the bottom. Call up the lawyers. Let them fish it out. Tae Connecticut Exections.— The demo- crats, it appears, have once more carried the State of Connecticut. against the combined powers of the whigs and the Maine Liquor law. What has Barnum been about all this time? Has he gone over to the enemy? Or, is not “Tranistan” in Connecticut ? Talk on ‘Change. It being known at the meeting on ‘Change that the Arctic was below with later foreign news, transactions to some extent were checked, especially in breadstutfs. ‘A rumor prevailed on ’Change, founded on good au- thority, that the steamship Union left Aspinwall with only 60 tons of coal, and with which she expected to reach Kingston, Jamaica, where it was stated the supply was also almost exhausted. The supposition was, that her delay had been caused by the exhaustion of her coal, probably before she reached Jamaica. The vessel and cargo, it was stated, had been insured in this city for about $300,000, $100,000 of which was on gold dust ship- ped by her. The message sent into the Legislature by the Governor, urging speedy constitutional action in favor of enlarging the canals, was considered sound policy. Merckants are in favor of the enlargement, and believe that the time will soon arrive when the measure will become in- dispensable. Were the canals enlarged, they would have nothing to fear from the competition of railroads. With enlargement, a decrease of tolls might safely follow, and reach a point below the competing capacity of rail- roads, It was believed that the time was not far distant when Canadian policy and improvements, on the one hand, and Southern improvements on the other, would im erative- ly demand the proposed enlargement. With the free navigation of the St. Lawrence, low tolls (or free passage) by the Welland Canal, and with « sbain of railroads extending from Halifax via Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, and Detroit, transportation by the Grand Canal, in its present contracted form, might be seriously interfered with, and its receipts diminished. It was supposed, from Santa Anna’s expressed ‘hos- tility to the United States, that he would, on re- gaining power, pitch all the Tehuantepec treaties or grants overboard, including Colonel Sloo’s, and fears were expressed that he might, also, interfere with the proposed new American mail transit route from Vera Cruz to Acapulco. It was hoped that he would be Jed to seek the true interest of his country in a wise and pacific policy towards the United States, and that he would see that a liberal course in favor of opening tran- sit routes through Mexico would be the means of en- couraging‘the enterprise and of adding to the wealth of the country. City Intelligence. THe DARTMOOR PRISONERS’ APSOCLATION — ANN! VERSARY OF THE MassacRE.—The surviving members of the above martyred ‘band will hold their usual meeting 2his evening, which 1s to them an anniversary of mingled sorrew and gratitude—sorrow for gallant companions slain, cither by actual violence or continued confinement, and gratitude for their own lives, preserved as if by a miracle. Every American is familiar with the cruel and systematic im- pressment of our countrymen resorted to by the British government long before the declaration of the war of 1812 was made ipon our part, and all know how rapidly they were transferred from the dccks of his Majesty's ships-of- war to the:dungeona of his Majesty’s prison at Dartmoor, in England, Arriving by every route, and in the most enfeebled state of health, the stricken but incorruptible prisoners had accumulated to between four aud {'ve thou- sand at the end of October, 1814. During the previous June, a great number arrived from the gl b prison at Malta, where the plague had raged in May, and as they were indiscriminately thrown in amongst the others, who were suffering from want of the common necessaries of life, death econ came to the aid of the government and an exceeding great mor- tality took place. It would appear, however, thet the new ally was not considered efficiently destructive, for upon the sixth.of May, 1815, the tragedy of s massacre by firearms was enacted. It appears to us, from the most impartial and authentic sources, that about this time the thousands of prisoners had become extremely irritable from their sufferings, and threw much blame upon Mr. Beasly, the Americas nt in London for prisoners of war, for unnecessary delay in procuring their release, They burned him in effigy, and an unusual excitement took place in the prison. Captain Shortland, the British agent, went amongst the men, and returned saying that a pistol had been snapped st him, and that they had at- tempted to escape. Upon this the soldiers were ordered to fire upon the prisoners; whieh they did with such ef- fect, and by repented vollies, that when the smoke cleared away it was found that eleven of our seamen were shot dead and about thirty-five were mortally wounded; of the latter, many died after amputation of their shat- tered limba had taken place. The prisoners bad boen un- armed in the yard when the soldiers fired through (he bars of the gates and iron palings. A coroner's jury found a verdict of ‘ justifiable homicide.’’ Capt land pleading an attempt 'to escape, upon the va prisoners, as his excuse for the act. After the createst amount of personal suffering by the men, and much na- tional exertion ugon the part of oar citiz home, the re ships commenced to land the liberated prisoners in the various ports of the Union. They arriged in want end privation. Many have si lie si tomb, and the divereified porsu sorbed the remsinder.
