THE NEW YORK WEEKLY HERALD. ‘The United States mail steamship Crescent City, Cap- tain McGowan, will leave this port on Thursday afternoon, at two o'clock, for Aspinwall, ‘The mails for California and other parte of the Pacific, will close at one o'clock. ‘The New Youe Wexxry Henatp, California edition, with the latest intelligence from all parts of the world, will be published at ten o'clock to morrow morning.

We beseech our advertising patrons to send in ‘their favors as early in the day as possible. We sometimes have nearly the whole of the Heratp to | putin type after teatime. This is a task for our compocitors. Advertisers can be of considerable aid and comfort to us by handing in their notices in the afternoon. ‘The News. The United States mail steamship Humboldt, whieh arrived at this port at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, brought us news of four days later date than that contained in our files by the Arabia. The in. telligence does not possess any feature of peculiar interest. There was a slight improvement in bread- staffs in the English market, and the prices of cotton remained without material change. A fair demand existed for the latter article at the last quotations, and holders seemed to anticipate an advance. The Political circles of London were nearly inanimate. ‘The Canadian Clergy Reserves bill was passed in the House of Commons by an unhoped for large ma- jerity in favor of the government. Although Eu- Tope is at peace, we learn that the government experienced much satisfaction from the successful trial trip of a man-of-war ship mounting one hun- dred and thirty-one guns. A paragraph in one of the London papers announces the arrival of Mrs. H. Beecher Stowe at Liverpool, in the Canada, upon the 10th inst. We are in receipt of the different issues of the same papers from that day up to the 33th, but can find no account of how she was re- eeived, nor any record of the fétes, addresses, &c, We are not told where the monster address was at the time the Humboldt l:ft. The Queen was conva- leseent, and the Duchess of Sutherland may have been at court. We publish the letter of a “Poor Clerk,” addressed to the London Times, upon the white slavery treatment of his sister. The Eastern question is not settled. The most far- seeing politicians, both in Paris and London, felt un. easy lest Russia would execute a coup de main in the Dardanelles. The manufacturing interests of France had experienced a decline, which caused some mur- muring. It was believed that the Pope would not go to Paris to crown the Emperor, but the religiously inclined consoled themselves with the assurance that Louis Napoleon is a great man, and can effect great ehanger. The Prussian and Austrian governments had instituted a rigid system of passport surveillance. The rebellion in China is progressing so that his Ce- lestial Majesty did not find himself at ease in his Pa- radise. Italy was quiet. A full financial, commer- cial, and maritime statement up to the last moment will be found in our pages to-day. According to the details of the news elsewhere given, as well as the telegraphic despatch appended thereto, the proclamation of Governor Lane, claiming the Mecilla valley as the property of the United States, had caused the most intense excitement, both in our own terntory of New Mexico and throughout a large portion of Mexico. The authorities of the lat- | ter country had formally protested to Judge Conk- ling, the American Minister, against the movement of Governor Lane, in addition to which the Gover- nor of the State of Chihnahua was preparing his | countrymen to resist with force of arms any attempt to dislodge’ them from the disputed ground. On the other hand, Governor Lane was peremptorily refused the support of the United States troops by Colonels Sumner and Miles, for the reason, probably, that they deemed the seizure impolitic and unauthorized. However, the ill-feeling existing between the people of the two nations was of such a character that the Governor would have little difficulty in raising an army of backwoods volunteers, whose unerring rifles would soon send the Mexicans flying across the Rio Grande. One of our correspondents explained the eause of this territorial dispute in yesterday's Herautp. Read Governor Lane’s proclamation, and then await the action of the general government ‘upon the subject in order to ascertain whether ho will be sustained in taking the responsibility. The present aspect of the affair is certainly very unpre- possersing; it may possibly be the cause of a rupture between the two countries. Onur special despatches from Washington announce the recent arrival of myriads of office-seekers who are willing to accept of almost anything, from a fall mission abroad to the most petty clerkship or other station at home—no matter what it is 80 long as each can procure a situation. Upon the opening of the doors of the White House yesterday they are represented to have poured in until they were as thick as bees in » hive. It is understood that all the foreign appointments will be disposed of to-day, the cabinet having for several days been engaged in arranging the preliminaries. Our correspondents have considerable to say with regard to the foreign Policy of the administration, but as we have hith- erto given our views upon the subject at consider- able length, it is unnecessary to recapitulate. A despatch from New Orleans states that the election of a United States Senator for Louisiana, in Place of Senator Soulé, has been postponed till Fri- @ay. Gen. Houston has arrived at the eapital of that State, with the intention, as is supposed, of advanc- ing the canse of Mr. Slidell. The Maryland Senate has passed the bill incorpo- ‘Wating the Maryland and Delaware ship canal, and the past Louisiana Senate hag passed the free banking ‘The Minister from Pern to Bogota was lately rob- bed of turteen thourand dollare at Gorgona. One forth of a million of dollars of new silver coins, consixting of quarters, dimes, and half dimes, ‘was yesterday issued from the Philadelphia mint. Advices from Bnenos Ayres to March 11, an- noance that Urquiea was soon expected to come down with conciliatory propositions. The armistice wil) Jasted in the city, but a skirmish had taken place in the suburbs in which some {we've persons were killed—among them an Ameuican named Bond. Three hundred slaves have recently been landed on the coast of Pernambuco, Where were the Ame- rican and English men-of-war? Another terribly fatal collision took place on the Michigan Southern Railroad last Tuesday. Three cars filled with emigrants were smashed, causing the immediate death of some twenty persons, and severely injuring fifty or sixty others. Will these wholesale slaughterings of human beings on railroads never cease ? The Falcon arr'ved at New Orleans on Tuesday with one hundred thousand dollars in California old. go delivered his free lectare to the industrial classes last evening in the Tabernacle, which was crowded. His remarks were received with the most enthusiastic applause, although there were some present who expressed their dissent by frequently hissing. Qur report of the lecture is un- ayoidably deferred. Miss Luey Stone last evening delivered her second lecture at Metropoiitan Hall, taking for her subject “ Woman’s Legal and Political Disabilities.” The hall was aot more than one-third filled, but, small as was the audience, considerable impatience was mani- fested prior to the appearance of the fair lecturer on the platform. She was dressed in full Bloomer costume, with her hair closely cut, and impressed the spectator with the conviction that she was fully able to maintain the rights of woman under any and all circumstances—either upon the rostrum or in private life. We regret being under the necessity of deferring a full report of her lecture. The Kings County Court of Oyer and Terminer was yesterday engaged in hearing the case of Lewis Graef, who is indicted for the manslaughter of John | Ward, inan affray, last January, on the corner of Fulton avenue and Adelphi street, Brooklyn. The the adjournment of the Court. The trial of Bernard Hogan, charged with the murder of his wife, in February last, was deferred till to-morrow, owing to the illness of prisoner's counsel. The weekly meeting of the Board of the Ten Goy- ernors of the Almshouse was held yesterday at the usual hour, N. B. Blunt, Esq., Distriet Attorney, was present, and recommended the sale of the City Prison—the money received to be used in erecting a suitable building in some other portion of the city. A resolution was offered by Mr. Herrick, requesting the Common Council to appoint a sommittee of con- ference, to meet with the Board and to petition the Legislature to empower the Board of Supervisors to raise a sum of money for the purpose of erecting another building for a city prison, as the condition of the present establishment of the kind was so un- healthy as to have caused the deaths of several per- sons recently confined thereia. A communication from Mr. Edmonds, the keeper of the Tombs, was read, praying the Board to suspend their opinions in relation to the fatal occurrence which took place at the City Prison a few days ago, until a more thorough and scientific investigation was effected. The steamship Canada is now in her eleventh day from Liverpool to Halifax, with three days’ later news from Europe. The Kaine Extradition Case—Discharge of the Prisoner. This long litigated case is over, and, by the decision of Judge Nelson, delivered yester- day, the prisoner is discharged, the claim of the British government not having been made in accordance with the law of nations, as inter- preted by our judiciary. Our readers will recollect that Thomas Kaine, claimed by the British government as a fugitive from justice, he having fired at, with intent to kill, a farmer in Ireland named Balfe. was first apprehended on a warrant issued by Commis- ioner Bridgham, under the treaty, and on exa- mination was found guilty, and directed to be detained in custody to abide the order of the President of the United States. A writ of habeas corpus was sued out by the prisoner. returnable to the United States Circuit Court, where Judge Betts, who presided, dismissed the writ. and remanded the prisoner to the cus- tody of the Marshal ; the Acting Secretary of State afterwards iseued his warrant, directing | that the prisoner be :delivered up to Mr. Bar- clay, her Britannic Majesty’s consul. Subse. quently an application was made to Judge Neleon. at Chambers, for a writ of habeas corpus, to bring up the prisoner on an alleged illegal detention, which he refused until the whole of the proceedings were laid before him. This was cone, and Judge Nelson, on reviewing | the testimony. adjourned the case to the Su- preme Court of the United States. That court diemiseed the adjourned case for the want of jurisdiction. and it remained. therefore, for a | final hearing at Chambers. as the prisoner was in custody under the authority of that writ. The argument came on before Judge Nelson, and yesterday he delivered his decision. review- ing the whole case, and coming to the conclu- sion that the prisoner should be discharged. He gave it as bis opinion that the demand for the surrender of the fugitive should have been firet made directly upon the government, and its conrent and authority obtained before the judiciary could be called into requisition. He also decided that the Commissioner had no juris- diction, not being an officer within the treaty or act of Congresa. 2 A new warrant for the arrest of Kaine was issued by the representative of the British goy- ernment ; but, after some discussion, the Attor- ney of the United States deemed it advisable to counsel the Marshal not to execute it in the face of the decision which had just been deliv- ered. The case has created considerable discussion everywhere through town, and the general im- preesion is, that it is a decision against the Bri- tish government and an Trish party triumph This is not so. The representative of Her Bri tannic Majesty applied to our executive autho rities for a warrant for his arrest; it was granted, the case was investigated. and the prisoner was directed to be detained in custody to abide the order of the President of the United States; that order was sent for his surrender to the British authorities, a writ of habese corpus was sued out, the jud: -y step in, and, after the long protracted investigations which we have detailed. the cave resulted yesterday in the dis- charge of the prisoner, The question now will be, is the Ashburton treaty a nullity? Americans ox THe European Tovur.—The number of distinguished Americans lionizing throughout Europe, and spreading Yankee no- tions, republican ideas and common sense all the way from the Giants’ Causeway to St. Petersburg, seems to be far more considerable at the present moment than at any other period in our history. During the coming summer these American missionaries in England and over the Continent will receive a vast accession of strength. and we may reasonably anticipate that the result of their operations in these be- nighted lands will be stupendous. Among the Americans who leave this port for England by the steamer Arctic, on next Saturday, are ex-President Van Buren, his son Martin, and Mr. MeMurray, Senator from this city to the State Legislature. The venerable tage of Lindenwald will be the first ex-Presi- examination of witnesses was not conauded prior to. dent of the United States that ever visited Eu- rope, and he will doubtless attract great atten- tion wherever he goes, Since the memorable epoch when his brilliant son, Prince John, danced that cotillon with the royal Miss Alex- andrina Victoria, that distinguished lady has annually given living proofs of her obedience to that most ancient of divine commands, ‘Be fruitful, and multiply. and replenish the earth,” and Mr. Van Buren will, perhaps, arrive in London about the important period when the gcedfathers and godmothers of the last angust youthful stranger will promise and vow for him those three things laid down in the ceremony of baptism. It would be a very curious and interesting matter if an ex-President of the United States should officiate as one of the sponsors of the royal baby, and if the latter lit- tle distingué should number among his string of Christian names that of Martin. As the Spaniards say, guien sabe—who knows! Tue NortH AMERICAN Fisuertes—Mr. Eve- retTr’s Letrer To MR. Incerso“t.—We publish in another portion of our columns to-day a communication from the Hon. Edward Everett, ex-Secretary of State, to Mr. Ingersoll, the Uni- ted States Minister at London, giving the views “of the then adminjstration, and of the writer particularly, in reference to the questions of colonial fisheries and general commercial reci- procity, and defending the memory of Mr. Webster from the imputation levelled at it by Lord Malmesbury, in a speeeh delivered by him in the British House of Peers. This letter is dated the 4th of December, 1852, the postscript to it, however, bearing the date of 23d December. A copy of it was trans- mitted, with a message from President Fillmore, to the Senate on the 28th of February, with several other State documents on the same subject, all of which were read for the first time on the 8th of March, and ordered to be printed, in confidence, for the use of the Senate. The injunction of confidence, or secresy. has since, however. been removed, and in publish- ing the letter referred to we do so well knowing the interest which it is calculated to create as an emanation from the highly polished mind of him who, since the death of his lamented pre- decesgor, Mr. Webster, may well be considered as par excellence, the great New England states- man. At the present time, too, we regard the pub- lication of this dccument as of peculiar impor- tance. The weighty questions pending ~be- tween these States and the British North Ame- rican colonies are now on the eve of a full and final settlement, Mr. Buchanan, the newly ap- pointed minister to England. being entrusted with unlimited power to regulate them on be- half of this country. Mr. Everett’s letter, will, therefore, doubtless, attract much attention, and his spirited rejoinder to the British peer, who sneeringly assailed the political character of Mr. Webster. will meet the approbation of all Americans. Tue Sire ror THE Minrtary Hosritat—Re- TURN oF THE Pnosrective Partry.—General Scott’s expedition last summer, as far.as the re- gion of the Blue Lick. in search of an eligible site for a military hospital, not having pro- duced any result, regular or political, another prospecting party was sent out on the same mis- sion. and after having travelled over several of the Western States, making explorations and re- connoiseances, they have returned to this me" tropolis, en route for Washington. This highly important matter was confided to a committee of seven officers, comprising Gen, Scott. Gen. Wool, Gen. Twiggs, Gen. Jessup. Surgeon-General Lawson, and two others: The Iccating committee which performed this philan- thropic pilgrimage to the West, consisted of the three last named officers, all of whom, accom- panied by Lieut. Cummings, aide-de-camp to Gen. Twiggs, arrived here on their return. and took up their quarters at the St. Nicholas. on Monday. The result of this mission is of course kept a secret, and will not transpire until the 5th of May. when the committee will collectively present their report. Gen. Scott has re- ported against the Blue Lick location. so there is no chance whatever of its selection. We have cause. however, to guess that the choice of the locating committee has fallen on the Harrodsburg Springs, in Kentucky, a place which may be considered as the Baden-Baden of America. It is situated near the geographi- cal centre of the State, being but eight miles from the Kentucky river, and twenty-eight from Lexington. The springs. which are six or eight in number, are said to possess wonderfal medicinal qualities, and to be of great effcacy in certain chronic diseases to which old soldiers who have served in hot climates are peculiarly liable. As a site fora hospital the springs are appropriate, the pre- dominant ingredient of the water being sul- phate of magnesia, or Epsqm salt, and particu- larly well adapted, according to a medical re- port, to sanguineous and bilious temperaments. We understand that though the committee traversed a large portion of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky, they did not see any place 80 well adapted for the site of a military hos- pital as these springs of Harrodsburg, and so we would not be at all surprised to find that in their report they recommend it above all others indicated to them. It willbe a great relief to the nations] mind when this weighty and trou- blesome matter is disposed of, and when finally the institution is established in which “ The tired soldier, bold and brave, May rest his wearied feet.” We hope. therefore. that the committee will be unanimous in their report, and that it will not be necessary to fit out another expedition to those distant regions of the Far West in rearch of a site for a military hospital. Tux OrrRa—It is only aeeemary to announce that Al- boni and ber grand froupe will appear in “Ia Gasza Ladra’’ to insure a full house, but we do not know where all the admirers of ‘ Luerezia Borgia’ will find room within the walls of Niblo’son Thursday evening, on the cecation of Salvi’s benefit. It will be the last night of that splendid opera, and wo shall probably never see it with such a east of characters again, Tue Hirroprome.—The dress rehearsal to be given at this establishment on Friday evening is got up solely for the attendance of gentlemen connected with the editorial department of the sewspaper press, and tha: it will be totally incompatible with their arrangements to exten! the privilege to any other applicants. It ix not even io tended to admit ladies on that oceasion. Tue Takatnrs —Owing to the great press of aivectice ments and news upon our columns, we are obliged to omit our asual toeatrical notices. We would direct the attention of our readers, however, to the advertivements of the different places of amusement, and remiod them that Mr. Dawson takes his benefit at the Bowery, A+ the Broadwey, Mr Forrest appears for the fifuieth tine this season. The play of *C.vilization’” will be at Burton's, At the National, Wallack’s, the American Museum, Circus, Christy's, Wood's, Heller s, Banvard’s, and Owens’, the programmes announced will well repay the visiter, ‘Talk on ’Change. ‘The foreign news received by the Humboldt, with the character of the news received from California, were the chief topics of conversation. Im regard to the English commercial news accounts were contradictory, Some newspaper accounts repre- sented that breadstuffs were lower, while other accounts stated that a better demand existed, and that prices closed with an upward tendeney. ‘The news had ne immediate iafluence on this market as[far as four and grain were concerned, while cot- ton sold to the extent of 1,000 bales, the turn o/ the market being in favor of the buyer. ‘The commercial news received from San Francisco was considered unfavorable for shippers of breadstuffs acd forwarders of many other articleacf trade. The market had been overstocked with many descriptions of goods, and it was feared that coasiderable losses would be sus- tained. The best feature in the news was the favorable reports received from the mining districts. So long as the yield of gold continued abundant, no fears could be entertained that the depression in business would be of long continuance. According to privute accounts pro- visions were doing better than other articles of food. ‘A merchant stated that so long as the mining and other citizens of California pursued the course they did towards the Indians he expected to bear of Indian troubles. The atrocities said to have been committed on the Indians by the whites were of the most revolting character, and unbecoming a civilized people ; and little more ado was made about slaying an Indian than there would be about killing # eayote or Mexican wolf, Nearly every offence committed by an Indian had been made capital. If he stole any property, even food to keep him from starving, and happened to be caught he died by the rife or the halter. If a miner whs found killed by a stray Indian, straightway a whole Indian encamp- ment would be destroyed, including the massacre of men, women and children, and their property burnt. How could Indian warfare cease under such circum- stances? The resistance they gave the United States troops, and the fall of Lieut. Russell, attested the fury and strength of their hostility. A full and impartial history of the course pursued towards the Indians by the whites in California would disclose mavy scenes of cruelty. The Indians had been the rightful cwnera of a large portion of the State. How had they been d:spos- essed? Was it by purehase or force ? ‘The steamship Albatross, reported to have Geen lost on her last'trip from New York to Vera Cruz, was stated to have been'ingured in this city for about $65,000. There was also an insurance for a smali amount on her cargo, which was light. A gentleman, who, from his position, was well ac- quainted with the organization and movements of the Nicaragua Transit Company, stated that the steamship Indeperdence did not belong to said compary, but to Messre. Wm. H. Brown and Robert Schuyler, and that she had merely been hired temporarily to run in the line until the Sierra Nievada could take her place, This last veseel was said to have made a very pro- fitable voyage on her downward trip, having received about $105,000 on her through passenger and freight list. ‘Wreck of the Albatross. ‘A telegraphic despatch to Simeon Draper, Esq., dated New Orleans, April 25, rays the steamer Albatross was wrecked on the night of the 10th inst., (no particulars given.) The passengers and crew only were saved. The ship Albatross left here on the 3ist ult. for Ve-a Cruz, under command of Capt. Greene, and was lost on her ou:ward passage. She was built in Philadelphia, by Capt. Loper, and was at first employed, we believe, in the Southern trade frem Philadelphia. She after- wards was placed in a new line between Now York, Halifax, | Quebec, and other cities in the British provinces, ia which she mage two trips, last summer. It was contemplated at the time to keep up bi monthly communication be- tween New York and those cities by means of the Alba- trosa and another steamer to be built fer the purpose, but the idea was abandoned, and the Albatross with- drawn. Her next voyage was from thia city to Vera Cruz and back, in the new route to the Pacific, by way of Acapulco, and on her return passage brought the news from Sam Francisco in the shoct space of eighteen days. The Albatross was valued at about $60,000 or $70,000, and is stated to be fully covered by insurance. The news of the loss of the Albatross was reeeived at New Orleans by the steamship Texas. City Intelligence. THE MURDERERS, FITZGERALD AND NEARY. To-day the Court of Oyerand Terminer will pronoance the sentence of death on the two wretched culprits, Fitz- gerald and Neary, found guilty of the murder of their wiver. They were both convicted on the 19th inst., and thie day are to be brought before the judge for sentence, The Jaw designates the time to be allowed the culprits after conviction, making it not less than four nor over sight weeks, therefore, in all probability the Judge will appoint Friday, the 17th day of June, for the Sheriff to carry the last mandate of the law into effeet.

Music of a first rata order is engaged, and the re-union promises to be a briliant affair. Berxep to Deas —Coroner Gamble held an inquest yerterday, at No. $4 Essex street, upon the body of Cath- arine Deans, a child three years of age, whose death was caused by burns, her cloching baving accidentally taken fire from a stove, in the house of her parents. The cries of tke child brought ber mother, who wa; in the yard at the time, to her assistance, and the little sufferer was immediately enveloped in a blantet, by means of which the flames were quenched, but not uatil they had taken hold of the vitals. The accident occurred on the 10th inst, and the child lingered until yesterday. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. Scuppen DeaTH.—Abdout three o’clock ye terdsy mora ing Timothy Desmond. a public porter, who re-ided at No. 152 Frent street, called at the dining saloon of Pearsall ‘and Lester, in Fulton Market, and after drinking a glass of brandy, sat down in a stair, and, apparently, went to sleep.
