After an expenditure of a large sum of money by the anxious politicians of hard and soft order, in telegraphic’ tolls, it was ascertained that the rumors were all both, and that the only ‘fixed facts’ were the nomi- mation of the Hon. James Buchanan as Minister to England, and the final adjournment of the Senate. ‘We can now breathe freer and deeper. Now that the United States Senate has adjourned, all eyes in this vicinity will naturally be turned to the transactions in the State Legislature during the two remaining days of the session. The proceedings yesterday, with regard to affairs in this city, were very important. The Assembly concurred in the Senate’s amendments to the city charter and the police billa. The charter election is to take place in June, and policemen are to be appointed by the Mayor, Recorder, and City Judge. Something of an excitement was created in the Assembly, in conse- quence of a refusal to act upon the bill donating five thousand dollars to the widows’ and orphans’ fund ef the New York Fire Department. Mr. Howard, thereupon, sent in his resignation of membership, which, however, was laid upon the table. A lengthy and interesting debate occurred on the Niagara Ship Canal bill, which was eventually ordered to a third reading. Majority and minority reports upon the Senate resolutions to amend the State constitution, were miade the special order tor to-day. On refe- rence to the report, it will be seen that the majority propose a material alteration of the plan originally submitted by Senator Vanderbilt. In the State Senate, a spirited debate took place between Messrs. Taber and Babcock, concerning the Bill introduced by the former for the benefit of certain Catholic associations. Various bills relative to city affairs were favorably reported upon—among them the one requiring banks to make weekly statements. A proposition was introduced to protect the preas in fair and cerrect reports of trials. Both houses were in session till a very late hour last night, hurrying through the work, in order to be ready for the con- templated adjournment to-morrow afternvon. A despatch from Mobile anneunces that the U.S, steamer Fulton, with Vice-President King on board, arrived there yesterday frem Havana. We are sorry to learn that Mr. K.’s health has not been improved by his sojourn in Cuba, and that he is now very low. Advices from Havana tothe Sth inst. announce the gratifying intelligence that the lives of the con- demned political prisoners were spared. Their par- dons were read upon the scaffold. An active busi- mess was doing in sugar, but molasses was scarce, and had dightly advanced in price. Much excitement has been occasioned in Balti- more by a bill now pending in the Maryland Legisla- tare, to divide the echool fund for the purpose of satisfying the Catholics. An immense mecting was held last evening, at which strong speeches were made, expressive of indignation at any attempt at sectarian interference in the common school regu- lations. ‘The democrata of Jersey City assembled in large wumbers at Washington Hall, last evening, to ratify the charter nominations of that party to be voted for today. A number of resolutions were adopted, and eeveral addresses delivered. The democrata of Hartfoad, Conn., yesterday elected their candidate for Mayor; but the whigs secured a majority in the Common Council. The prinetpal issue was the question of licensing theatri- cal exhibitions, and it is believed that the friends of such entertafnmenta are in the majority among the Councilmer. From Dewoit, Michigan, we learn that an injune tion has been granted by the Supreme Court, re- straining the commissioners from executing the contract wit Gorning and Co., for the construction of the Sault Ste. Marie ship canal. The matter is set down for & hearing on the 12th of next month. The Supreme Court at Philadelphia, yesterday decided that the County Commissioners were not properly authorized to subscribe two millions of dollars to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, and grant- ed an injuaction accordingly. We learp from Providence that the British bark Robert Kerr, with a cargo of iron, from Glasgow for this port, wae abandoned at sea, in a sinking condi- tion, on the 4th ult. Her passengers and crew were all reecued by the British bark Douglas. Still anagher murder is charged upon Spring, who recently killed the two women in Philidelphia. The papers of that city state that it is pretty certain that he not only murdered Mr. Rink, but also Mr. Wm. Hope, as far back a# ten yeare ago. The las There W? » am advance in the:price of*zotton at New Orler ns y- The increased seceipts at that city , up te tke 9th inst., emounted’te three hun- dred th gasand, and the stock on hand’to three hun- dred 4nd forty-five thousand bales. The stock at Mob’ Je consisted of ninety-seven thousand bales. ? fre. Sinclair, late Mrs. Forrest, sailed from New O fleans a few days ago, for California. Alderman Peck last evening moved for an ordi- nance to prevent the crowding of railroad cars in the city, which motion was referred to the Commit- tee on Ordinances; and Alderman Dougherty moved resolution that al} reports be taken up in the order they are presented, in order to avoid any favoritism or injustice. After a few remarks from different members of committecs, in self-vindication, it was re- ferred to the Law Committee to report on the resolu- tion. The Board adjourned until to-morrow. In the Board of Assistant Aldermen, last evening, the principal feature was the debate upon the adop- tion of a report creating two bureaux in the City In- spector’s Department. Assistant Alderman Barker, of the Fifteenth ward, strongly opposed the mea- sure, and when he discovered that it would surely pass, he moved a reduction of the salary. His mo- tion was lost, however, and the report was adopted as presented. Many other papers, of but little general importance, were passed, and the Board adjourned until six o’clock to-morrow evening. Father Gavazzi delivered another interesting lec- turelastevening. His subject was “ Auricular Confes- sion,” in treating which he made a severe on- slanght upon the system of ‘‘ moral theology,” taught in the Roman Catholic church, which, he said, pro- duced immorality in the priesthood, the people, and government of @eountry, by classifying and #bdi- viding sins. His concluding lectures will be given in Metropolitan Hall, next Wednesday and Friday. The shoemakers, private coachmen, saddle and harnessmaker$=pook and job printers, and, other trades, held meetings last night, reports of which will be foundinaaother part of to-day’s paper.” From these it will beseen that it isthe intention of some of them to effect permanent organizations for their mu- tual support ang protection. The planished fin plate workers-of New York, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg also held a meetinggyesterday, in order to effect a more equal and regular standard of wages for piece and day work. A committee will meet to-day for the purpose of arrangement, and also to report what advance should be demanded from the bosses. Everything passed off most gloriously at the Dra- matic Fund Festival last evening. We elsewhere far- nish a graphic report of the toasts, speeches, &c., to- gether with the poetical address delivered by Miss Laura Keene. Notwithstanding that advertising patrons have to- day usurped the larger portion of our sheet, we are able as usual to give a full reswmé of all the leading news of the day. Our inside pages contain the Official Minutes of the Council Proceedings; Trans- actions in the Beard of Supervisors; Lengthy List of Presidential Appointments; Commercial, Theatri- eal, Judicial and Miscellaneous Intelligence; eigh- teen columns of Advertisements, &c. Russian and Turkish Difficulties. All the quidnunes in Europe are in a fever of excitement about Prince Menschikoff’s mis- sion to Turkey. Newspaper correspondents entertain the public, day after day, with “im- portant disclosures derived from unimpeachable authority,” which the operators on the Paris Bourse turn to good account. A full and cir- cumstantial history of the invasion of the seraglio by the Greeks, is followed by an equally plausible narrative of the definite set- tlement of the existing difficulties; and in the brief space of twenty four huurs Parts an@ London are called upon to credit both the final overthrow of the Sultan and his triumph over all his troubles. The late lamented Mr. Micaw- ber was not more sudden in his transitions from joy to despair, than the European friends of the Porte. Our geographical position deprives us of the pleasure of participating in these vicisi- tudes of temper ; we receive the antidote with the poison—the apology with the misstatement. The errors of the Debats are corrected by the Times, and the precipitate conclusions of the Allgemeine Zeitung are rectified by the cau- tious information of the Seicle and the -Moni- teur. With the conflicting evidence of so many witnesses before us, we are, perhaps, in a better position to form an opinion of the true state of matters than our transatlantic brethern. Menschikoff’s instructions have not tran- spired. The rumors that are afloat are nothing but shrewd guesses, based on circumstances, which may have been purely accidental. His refusal to visit Fuad Effendi has thus embold- ened a newsmonger to opine that his embassy related to the affairs of Moldavia and Wallachia, the unfortunate minister having been Commis- sioner in those provinces in 1850 and 1851. But it is obvious that the discourteous reply of the Russian to those who proposed a visit to the foreign minister was merely a» part of the game he has been playing throughout—a striking. but byyno means the most notable | instance of the high-handed insolence of the politic envoy. From his acceptance of his diplomatic duties up to the present mo- | ment, the conduct of Prince Menschikoff has been that of a haughty conqueror among his humbled foes, rather than that of the envoy of a friendly sovereign to a people of equals, Pomp, lavish expenditure, and military display, have everywhere accompanied his steps. No monarch ever assumed a more regal bearing. It was not for the sake of discipline that the Russian naval and land forces on the frontier were mustered and reviewed. It was not to gratify the Prince’s private ambition that a suite was assigned him not inferior to that which usually accompanies the Czar. It was not to reward him for past or future services that a credit which would have supported a small army was placed at his disposal. Nor was it, in our opinion, in consequence of any particular views that Fuad Effendi was known to hold on the questions he came to dis- cuss that the prince refused to pay him the customary compliment of a personal visit. To humiliate the Porte was all he sought. How well he attained that object the immediate resignation of the insulted dignitary shows pretty clearly. The most probable conjecture as to the im- mediate pretext for the embassy is that Russia is dissatisfied with the treatment of the mem- bers of the Greek Church in the East. During the last few years, the rivalry between the Greek and Catholic Churches at Jerusalem has reached such a height that nothing but the intervention of the Turkish soldiers had pre- vented bloodshed. Good Mussulmans beheld the fruits of sectarian jealousy in the Christian Church with a not unnatural horror, and thanked their stars that their creed awakened no such Gisgraceful passions. Our own travel- ers have expressed their disgust and shame in justly bitter language. Of late, the French ambassador at Constantinople has contrived to make the balance bear in favor of his coreli- gionists, and obtain for them certain privileges, to the exclusion of the members of the reek Church. The latter, finting the Sultan deaf to their complaints, have appealed to the Czar, as the head ot their Church, and this embassy, it is said, is the result. An instruc- tive contrast might be drawn—apropos—be- tween the intervention of the Czar in favor of the foreign members of his faith. and that of France, England and Germany, in favor of the Madiai. A parallel between Lord Roden and Prince Menschikoff would certainly not re- dound to the credit of the latter. The cases. it is true. were not precisely similar. Great Bri- tain had no national object in view, and Tus- eany, weak as it is, has not reached the same depths of degradation as Turkey. But there is food for reflection fn the contrast. Let us suppose, then—for we really see no solid grounds as yet for attaching faith to the other rumored demands of Russia—that the protection of the Greek Church in Palestine is the only object sought by the Czar. Nothing can be easier than to foresee the result of the embassy. France has already instructed her ambassador to the Porte to renounce the ex- clusive privileges he had obtained, and consent to place th Catholic on the same footing as the Greek Chyfth. No difficulty can, therefore. arise in that quarter. Turkey cannot refuse to the Czar whgt a few weeks ago she granted to the Empero® of Austria. If the latter is al- lowed to “ protect” the Catholics in Bornia, Herzegovina and Montenegro, the former cannot be denied the same rights with regard to the members of the Greek Church in Palestine. To refuse them woulduager any circumstances be a foolish proceeding—in the present relative positions of Turkey and Russia it would be a suicidal act, to which Great Britain, on behalf of the continental balance of power, would be the first to object. We are, therefore, inclined to think that. so far as this demand is concerned, Prince Mens- chikoff’s mission will be successful. The fate of other demands which he might think fit to make, would of course, depend mainly on their character. It is highly probable that the present opportunity will be seized by Russia to insist on a few minor concessions from her weak neigh- bor; and if these could be granted without en- dangering the integrity of the empire foreign powers might not object. But without perfectly authentic information, we are slow to believe either that Russia would demand, or Great Bri- tain and France consent, to any arrangement which would ultimately require a re-division of the continent. War, for the sake of a possession which it is his manifest destiny to absorb. is too dear a price for the politic Czar to pay; while, on the other hand, Louis Napoleon would com- mit a fatal errer were he to suffer Constanti- nople to be seized by Russia without an effort to protect it. We may be mistaken—our means of informa- tion are but limited—but we do believe that more importance has been attached to this Turkish business than it deserved. Menschikoff’s contrivances to strike terror into the minds of the Turks seem to have been taken au sérieur by the whole world. Stock operators have used them asa lever to operate with on Change, and wiseacres have protested they can sniff the scent of war in the distance. A sorry figure will they cut if it turns out that nothing more is wanted than fair play for the fighting priests in Palestine. No inconsiderable share of the alarm that has been felt may be ascribed to tho hasty, inconsiderate conduct, of Colonel Rose, the acting representative or Great Britain at the Porte. He lost his balance at the first approach of Menschikoff’s cavalcade, and saw— in imagination—the Russian flag already float- ing from the minarets of Constantinople. Had Lord Stratford de Redcliffe been at his post the case would have been very different. An un- fortunate coincidence in time between the sail- ing of a French squadron for the Levant and the receipt of the news concerning the difti- culties has also contributed to increase public apprehension. For our part, without claiming any better means of judging than our neigh- bors, and frankly admitting our paucity of data to reason from, we confess that intelligence of an actual rupture between Turkey and Russia would take us quite by surprise. Tur Newry Apporntep Minister To ENu- Lanp.—A telegraphic despatch trom Washing- ton announces the gratifying fact of the nomi- nation, yesterday made by the President, and immediately confirmed by the Senate, of the Hon. James Buchanan as Minister to the Court of Saint James. We regard the selection as in every respect a wise and judicious one. Mr. Buchanan’s talents asa statesman and diplo- matist are recognized by all parties of the country, and we do not know that the appoint- ment could be conferred on one more deserving of the honor. Mr. Buchanan will have, to-day, completed his sixty-second year, having been born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, on the 13th of April, 1791. He studied the profession of the law in his native State, was elected to the House of Representatives in 1814, and re-elected in the following year. He waselected to Con- gress in 1820, and continued asa member of the House till March, 1831. He declined fur- ther public service and retired into pri- vate life; but he did not long enjoy his retirement, as. in May, 1831, he was offered and accepted the mission to Russia. After his return from that mission he was, in 1834, elected to the Senate of the United States, to fill an unexpired term, and was subse quently re-elected in 1836 and 1843. Presi- dent Potk, in March, 1845, called Mr. Buchanan into the cabinet, and until the close of that ad- ministration he held the office of Secretary of State. He was one of the two prominent de- mocratic candidates for the high office of Presi- dent of the United States at the last Baltimore Convention ; but the respective supporters of himeelf and General Cass finding that there was no chance of electing either, the lot fell on the quiet, unpretending country gentleman of New Hampshire, who presides over the destinies of the American nation. We repeat the expression of our satisfaction that President Pierce has conferred the im- portant mission to England on a gentleman so well qualified to discharge its dutics with dis- tinction to himself and benefit to the coantry. Commotion ty Tows.—The city was ina fe. verish state of excitement yesterday, “Has Marcy really resigned’ “Is he going to Eng- land?’ “ What is the matter in the cabinet?” “TL knew it would not hang together six weeks.” “The bard shells are the boys after all.” Such were the remarks heard on the cor- ners ofthe streets yesterday. And what caused this great Commotion—motion— motion Through the town? Nothing but the strong desire to get Marey out of the cabinet, and the request of the Preai- dent to Senators to hold on for one day, to con- firm the nomination of Mr. Buchanan as er to England. That was all, Leewtation—An Eve to tax Metrorouts.— ‘The Legislature at Albany has recently evinced ® very laudable alacrity in attending to the re- form measures introduced for the benefit of our city government, and the citizens of New York will feel a sense of gratitude to them for the promptness of their action in matters relating to this city. The police bill passed by the House of Assembly, received in the Senate some amendments, so as to render it consistent with the new city charter, and those amend- ments, yesterday received the sanction and concurrence of the Assembly, so that the signature of the Governor is now alone needed to transform the bill into a regular law. In the same manner the new city charter, in its passage through the Senate, had several im- portant amendments made to it, which now await the concurrence of the Assembly. Of those amendments. one was that of changing the time when the bill is to be submitted to the people from August to June ; and another, the striking out the clause making the Mayor an ex officio member of the Almshouse Board. We trust that the House of Assembly will accord their full. and immediate sanction to these amendments. as the Legislature is to ad- journ to-morrow, and if the bill as amended be not passud before the adjournment, then the whole object of the recent legislation for this city will be defeated. We do hope, however, that we shall not have to record such a misera- ble finale to the very commendable action in which the Legislature were engaged. Give us reform. Let us have a model city. Tur Arrican Race rv New Yorx.—All per- sons having a shade of philanthropy in their composition, must have that feeling excited by witnessing the poverty and degradation in which the African race exist in this city. Sys- tematically shut out from all mechanical pur- suits, and expelled from almost all the inferior positions they were once allowed to hold here, they have seen their places filled by Germans and Irish; and now there are not more than half a dozen occupaiions in which they can en- gage. Even as waiters in our hotels—one of the Jast and best strongholds left them—they find ‘that they are.constantly losing ground by the abler competition of immigrants from Europe. This expulsion of the negroes from almost every branch of industry has had its natural effect in thinning their numbers. And while during the last ten years they have increased in the South- ern States at the ratio of thirty per cent, the negro population of this State has fallen from fifty to forty-seven thousand. Under such circumstances, would not the wisest and most philanthropic measure be, to promote, by all possible means, the emigration of the colored people of this State to the repub- lic of Liberia? and would it not be prudent and politic in our government to appropriate a cer- tain annual sum for this purpose? The States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir- ginia, and Indiana, have. from time to time, made considerable appropriations in favor of the scheme of colonization, which has been found to work admirably. The State of New York should not remain passive to the wretched con- dition of so many of her colored citizens, but do what humanity and sound policy alike suggest— make such an appropriation as would enable all negroes wishing to emigrate to Liberia to do so free of expense. We trust that the Legislature, at its next session, will not be unmindful of the ‘claims of the poor African, condemned to a life ofabject penury and destitution in this State, and longing for means to enable him to become a good citizen of the modern black republic- Let him have them. Tae Dust my Tue Crry.—Wuo Is To Keep ir Down ’—Two or three of the city papers accuse us of defending Mr. Henry Arcularius, the Com- missioner of Streets and Lamps, and state he is the cause of all the dust in town. It is a mistake of our cotemporaries. We are simply the defender of right and justice, and seeker after real reform. But what has Mr. Ar- cularius to do with the water carts? It is well known that the streets are sprinkled at private expense, and the cause of the clouds of dust that filled the city in March was the refusal of the President of the Croton Aqueduct Department to give permits to the owners of the sprinklers till the 1st of April. Inveighing against the head of a department will not remedy an evil over which he has no control. These are our sentiments. = Talk on ’Change. There was no marked or new movement in trade yes- terday. Amerchant who resides in the Eightecnth ward ex- pressed an anxious desire—in which a large majority of its citizens, he said, participated—for the passage of the bill intended for its division. It had grown to be one o¢ the most populous and wealthy wards in the city. The geographical size of the ward was, also, from one to one anda half miles square. To preserve order, and to pro: tect the lives and property of its citizens, there were only about forty policemen for duty, both by day and night, subject to be detailed for duty elsewhere. The Hippodrome and Crystal{Palace would require surveil- lance. Since the revolution in the Five Points, therehad been an exodus to up town localities, particularly to points east of the Third and Second avenues, and above | Fourteenth street, where a new sort of Five Foints had been formed, and over which the present limited police were unable to keep order. A merchant familiar with the canal movements, thought that the Champlain cana! should be included, with others, in a general plan for their enlargement. He thought that there was unnecessary jealousy felt towards evlarging the means of communicatioa—through Lake Champlain—with the St. Lawrence. He believed that, should the Canadian government construct a ship canal from the St. Lawrence to Lake Champlain, and the State of New York make another, from the southern extremity of the lake to the Hudson river, that the trade and com- meree of the State would be greatly benefitted, while enough business would exist to make both routes profita- ble, in the way of tolls, &c. Another merchant, who resides at the Sault de Saint Marie, stated that the ship canal around these falls would undoubtedly be executed at a very early period. He said that the gentlemen who had taken hold of it com prised several men of large capital and of known enter- prise. They bad agreed to take the land appropriated by government, estimated at about 700,000 acres, and build and put in operation a large ship canal, at their own ex- pense, executed in the best and most durable manner. He said, that with the opening of the canal around the Sault Ste. Marie, in connection with the ship canals be tween New York and the St. Lawrenoe, vessels could load with copper ore or pig {ron on the upper shores of Lake Superior, and land their cargoes at the wharves in this city. These improvements would give over 1,500 miles of inland hip navigation to this city. The railroad lines from Ogdensburg and Montreal to Boston would be ren- éered of Little use, so far as freight was concerned, An immense Canadian trade would be diverted to New York, while the vast resources of Lake Superior would become speedity Weveloped, It was thought that the Erie canal; under ne circumstances, could ever eMford adequate facilities for the transportation of the heavy products of Lake Superior—such as timber, | mctals, and metallic ores—and that railroad trans- porta for sueh articles was out of the question. Without ® ship communication between Now York | and the St. Lawrence, through Lake Champlain, there | was danger that the great bulk ef exports from Lake Su perior would ultimately seek an outlet through the | mouth of the t. Lawrence, or through the Mississippi, | via Chicago, or by a water connection between the head | A merchant exhibited a private letter to us, dated “Pa. , via the rivers Brulé and and Letters Patent Bocured in ——2 Sorts ont) eae aay tras, Greece, March 6, 1853,”” in which it was stated that snother short crop of currents was anticipated, and that the Greek government had imposed an export duty on the article of 10 per cent on the growth of 1852, Marine Affairs.
