A oF NIAGARA, New Yor&, Thurstiay, July 28, 1853. ‘The News ‘The Asia is due with three days later news from Burope. Although it can hardly be expected that she will bring any decisive intelligence relative to the Russo- Turkish question, yet her advices are look- ea for with considerable interest and anxiety. The question is one of such magnitude as to -attract wniversal attentiqn, and its results are so important as to interfere with the future commercial ar- Yangements throughout the world. Hence the anxiety. The three days later news may give us more satisfactory accounts of the state of the @ivpute. Meanwhile, any information relative to the Danubian provinces, and of the men who take prominent parts in the question, is sought ‘Yor with avidity. We therefore give to-day brief sketches of the Sultan of Turkey, Emperor of Rus- ia, Count Nesselrode, Count Buol Schauenstein, the Grand Duke Constantine, the Russian Admiral Lazareff, Field Marshal Paskiewitsch, and Redshid Pacha; also of the Danubian provinces and of the ity of Jassy, now in possession of the Russians. From New Mexico we learn that Gen. Trias had withdrawn his troops from the Mesilla Valley, under an order from the Mexican Minister of War. The most cordial understanding subsists between the military officers of both governments. The Mexican effieers, by invitation of Col. Miles, visited Fort Fill- More, and were handsomely entertained. The silver -ere in the vicinity of El Paso is of great rishness, and the mines appear inexhaustible. Don Facundo Pino had been nominated a candidate for delegate to @ongress. E.N. Beale, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for California, arrived at Santa Fé June 8, on his way to San Francisco. Ex-Governor Charles Paine of Vermont, died at Waco on the 6th inst. The Earl of Ellesmere and suite reached Boston op Tuesday morning, and during the day, upon invi- tation, visited a public school exhibition, held at Faneuil Hall. Mayor Seaver welcomed his Lordship to the ‘‘ Modern Athens,” to which the distinguished visiter responded in a well-conceived speech, fre- quently interrupted by the applause of his audience. The Earl's health is quite feeble. The Court of Impeachment for thetrial of John C. Mather, Canal Commissioner, held its first sitting in Albany yesterday. This is the first instance of such @ eourt being convened in this State, and the greater part of the day was necessarily occupied in arranging the preliminaries, preparing rules, &c. ‘The counsel for the responient, in reply to a call of the Board of Managers to appear, answered that the articles of impeachment specify no high crime or misdemeanor, and that his acts had been in accord- ance with the constitution. Our intelligence from Washington is meagre. The @ardner case came up, aud a motion was made by ounsel for a continuance, on the ground of the com. mission to Mexico not haying returned. The court declined granting the motion. It is said the sqnadron ment to the fishing ground is to be stationed there permanently. z The ninety-ninth Commencement of Columbia College was held yesterday, at Niblo’s theatre, and was attended by a large concourse of persons inter- ested in the prosperity of that instution. The Com- mencement of Rutgers College, New Jersey, took place on Tuesday. Extended reports of both these eelebrations may be found in another part of to- day's paper, as also a letter from our New Haven correspondent relative to the preliminary arrange- ments for the annual meeting of Old Yale. A gang of six counterfeiters, whose operations in the West have been very extensive, were arrested about three miles below Cincinnati, on Tuesday night. Spurious money to the amount of forty thou- sand dollars, bogus dies, and other implements; were found, but the plates were not discovered. One of the party was a sub-contractor on the Obio and Mis- sissippi Railroad. Another wet day was experienced yesterday, which somewhat interfered with trade. Cotton was dull, only five hundred bales having been sold, at rates in | favor of purchasers. Other articles of domestic produce were without material change. A fair busi- Ness was done in sugars at about previous quotations: An indignation meeting was held in Monument square, Baltimore, yesterday afternoon, and reso- Tntions passed requesting the Mayor to resign his | office, in consequence of his determination to sup- press street preaching. His Honor, however, ex- pressed the intention of pursuing the course he had ba oy ae river at Cincinnati is now in fine navi- gable order, and rapidly rising. Mark P. Taylor, Aste Mayor of Cincinnatt, ied on Tuesday night. HERALD. |™ """ The heavy storm of Tuesday night disabled all the telegraph wires east of this city, and to Some extent disarranged those in other directions. We haye accounts from Great Salt Lake. The emigrant trains across the plains bad experienced wome trouble from the Indians. The managers of the Allegany Valley Railroad, we Jearn from Pittsburg, yesterday adopted the Brook- ‘Ville route to the New York line. At North Haven, Connecticut, yesterday, Michael Jannings was fully committed for trial for the maurder of Mrs. Bradley. Our despatch fronf Philadelphia states that Mar- shal Wynkoop succeeded in getting safely to Mary- Jand with the fugitive slave, Bill Fisher. Unreasonasie.—Some of our cotemporories of the “rural districts” are complaining that the members of the Legislature, before adjourn- ing, voted themselves three dollars per day for the five weeks they were not in session. We think that is getting off cheaply. Is not that preferable to their continuing in session five weeks longer? When the Dutchman fell down from the yard arm and broke his leg, he thanked God that it was not his neck. Let our rural cotemporaries emulate his example, and be thankful in getting off so well. It is unreason- able to complain where our country editors have co much cause for congratulation. Anoth- @: week, and they might have been tied up hand and foot by the Maine law. Only think of that and be thankfal. Wasniseron Oro has become otf Mr. Tucker's new democratic organ at Wash- ington? Is it “to be, or notto be?” Is Mr. Tucker otherwise satisfied? or is he too noon or “too late to come to supper?” or what's the matter? There is plenty of room, just now, for two or three democrati¢ organs at Washington, Put in, Mr. Tucker, put ia, oF Framee and Mnglemd tm the ‘Turkish Dispute. If Lord Palmerston still presided over the British Foreign Office we could have little hesitation in prophesying the issue of the Tark- ish dispute. It is not three years since that “cantankerous” statesman threw down the gauntlet to Russia and Austria, and compelled them both to “eat the leek.” Nesselrode chafed desperately; language, as a writer eminent for his “deportment” remarks, quite unheard ofin diplomatic intercourse passed between the de- partment at Saint Petersburg and the Russian ambassador at London. But nothing came of it. Palmerston stuck to his point. Don Pacifico earned a world-wide fame, and Russia was humbled. So, too, a short while previous, when the British fleet approached much nearer Constan- tinople than they now are. and absolutely com- pelled the Emperor to withdraw his forces from the provinces which he now invades, the Czar was fain to contess his unwillingness to engage in a war, and to act as the fiery Englishman desired. Had Palmerston been at the head of affairs it is very probable that the combined fleets would have now been sailing in the Black Sea. The case is different with Lord John Russell, whose love of powder has never been remark- able, Lord Aberdeen, also, always ready to temporize and conciliate, a sort of Quaker in politics, isnot the man to act on the principles which guided Lord Palmerston. To the pecu- liar idiosynerasy of those two men the pacific attitude of England must, in a great measure, be ascribed. They are both firmly impressed with the duty of postponing considerations of national honor to the dictates of commercial interest; and neither has, perhaps. that far- seeing eye which detects in unimportant events the momentous consequences which may follow. Without the light thus thrown on the dis- pute by the personal characters of the prime movers, we should have found it difficult to explain the apathy which Great Britain has hitherto manifested. For her, as well as for France. the contest is one of vital significance. Russia’s success would not only establish the principle that any power may disturb the peace of Europe, and absorb its weak neighbors at its will, but would give to the Czar a preponder- ance in continental affairs which would be fatal tohisrivals. For the last fifty years Russia’s eyes have never been raised from Turkey. Napo- leon, Metternich, Stratford, have each succes- sively foiled the eagle’s grasp, and propped up the barriers which hem in the autocrat of the North. Allsaw the paramount necessity of say- ing Turkey, and opposing an impenetrable wall to the encroachments of Russia. All labored with equal energy to defeat her wiles and arrest her progress. Angry remonstrances were freely sent to St. Petersburg, and the British amieassa- dor was fond of despatching steamers ia all haste for the British fleet. Now, however, that the most direct viola_ tion of Turkey’s rights has been attempted, we hear of no practical movement being made to interfere with Russia, The fleets are quietly at anchor one hundred and twenty miles from Constantinople. and diplomatic intercourse con- tinues. in the most friendly manner, between the ravisher and the friends of his victim. Nay more: not content with trampling on justice and the faith of treaties, the Czar absolutely defies his neighbors, and while profiting by their forbearance to commence the work of spoliation, actually insists on their atoning for the aggression by a humiliating retreat. It is difficult to find a parallel in history for such impudent audacity as this. Addressed to Spain or Denmark, such overbearing conduct would meet with a prompt rebuke, and would elicit a cry of indignation trom the whole world. Ap- plied to Great Britain and France, it either evinces © confidence in‘their timidity, which we, at all events, cannot share, or an insane reck- lessness which is at utter variance with the characteristic policy of the Czar. Unravel the skein who can. one point is be- yond controversy: England and France are now challenged, in the face of all the world, by Rus- sia. They are not the aggressors. The step they have taken Russia was bound to take, by the last treaty, signed by the very man who now issues circulars from the court at St. Pe- tersburg. Even that step has been rendered as inoffensive as possible. It is the merest apology for an intervention; while the conduct of the Czar would, strictly speaking, authorize the entrance of the Black Sea and the blockade of St. Petersburg. France and England have, in a word, purened throughout a policy of ange- lie torbearance, while they have been met with intolerant arrogance and unprincipled fuaith- lessness. To ask them to acknowledge that they have been all along in the wrong, and to require them to recede from their position, is to suggest that they should stultify tnemselves in the sight of all Europe. It is to demand of them a@ for- mal act recognizing their inferiority to Russia, and their readiness to receive from the Czar any terms which he may please to dictate. Com- pliance with such a request, urged in such a tone, and at euch a crisis, would overthrow at a blow the edifice which the skill of English | and French and Austrian diplomats has spent the last forty years in erecting, and would take rank in history as the first unequivocal token of the decline of the Western Powers, Preric Prexper at San Francrsco.—It is re- ported that the emissaries of the sub-treasury law are in hot pursuit of two or three of the late col- lectors and custodians of the public funds at San Francisco, for alleged defaleations, amounting in all to a half a million of dollars, as fur as yet discovered. We should not be surprised if furm ther explorations were to swell the amount toa million or two. Mr. Corwin, the late Secretary of the Treasury, according to all the develop- ments made of the working of the department machinery under his management, would have required in another ycar or two from sixty to ive millions to pay expenses. If the late splendid fiscal operations in the San Fran- cisco custom house are to be continued unde Mr. Guthrie, we would suggest that six. or even three, months are long enough for any one man to hold that collcetorship. A hundred thon- sand, or even fifty thousand, dollars net profits ought to be made to satisfy the most greedy cormorant for the spoils. We do hope, there. fore, for the sake of fair play all round, that the term of office in such fat places as the San Fran- cisco custom house, will be cut down to a few months, or that the perquisites and the pickings thereof will be reduced, #0 as that no subordinate in office shall receive a greater amount in pay and emoluments than the Presi- dent of the United States. We think it uncon- stitutional to allow any officeholdeg g higher compensation than the President, seventy Tos Great Atiarmc Race Oovrss—At- most Neck anp Necx.—The city journals contained, yesterday, » somewhat remarkable communication from Captain Luce, of the steamship Arctic, in reference to an excit- ing trial of speed between that vessel and the Cunard steamer Arabia. The Captain seems to eonsider thata misstatement or misapprehen- sion may have gone abroad in reference to the victor in the contest, and to the details of the matter, and he claims and proves by facts and figures that the Arctic won the race, if not by twenty, certainly by two minutes. Prodigious! Two minutes’ gain over a course of three thousand miles, or a difference of forty seconds in favor of his racer in each thonsand miles yun! That beats out the greatest and most closely contested feats ever witnessed at Epsom or Derby. No neck and neck race could be more exciting or give rise to such disputations as to whether the stakes were won by Chaser or Faugh-a-ballagh. And now it is that we see the absolute necessity—so popular becomes the sport—of some such establishment as Tat- tersall’s, both in Liverpool and New York, where bets may be decided on this weekly race over the Atlantic, and where betting books may be regularly opened for the accommodation of those inclined to risk their dollars on the issue of it. But seriously, we begin to fear that this rac- ing will eventuate mischievously and unhappily, and we think the practice cannot too soon be put anendto, A year or two ago, when the exciting sport.was initiated, and when the storm- tossed Atlantic was converted into a steeple- chase course for the splendid steamers of the rival British and American lines to try their mettle on, thore might have been and was great excuse for the interest which the contest awak- ened in the public mind on both sides of the Atlantic, and for the share which the public press of England and the United States took in ministering to that excitement; but now that we have been so fortunate to escape up to this time without the occurrence of any of those appalling scenes which might have attended the dangerous contest, and now that the public interest has so far flagged in the matter that the superiority of the Collins steamers is re- garded almost as an indisputable fact, only to be challenged now and again, we think that the commarders of those vessels would exhibit more discretion, and be entitled to more credit, if they would altogether desist from the highly perilous contest, and simply content themselves with the due performance of their duties to- wards the passengers committed to their care, as well as towards the companies whose vessels they command. Let ‘an interdict be immedi- ately and effectually placed on this misuse of the great highway of nations. Massacue: Party — Important Movement—We publish elsewhere in this pa- per, an important call for a State Convention at Newburyport, Massachusetts, for the organiza- tion of a Union party in that State. We think the time has at length arrived when such an organization will stick, take root, and spread its branches all over the country, if the move- ment is only properly begun and properly fol- lowed up, Georgia is already organized—Mis- sissippi and Alabama have nearly shufiled off the last remnants of their old party distinctions —North Carolina is in a condition of most promising effervescence—Virginia having, with all the required formalities, killed off and buried the old whig party, offers a fine opening for something new, and better adapted to the spirit of the a The delightful harmonious reunion of the New York democracy offers, also, a cent invitation to a new party upon the Union platform. straight and square. The old Castle Garden Union fety Committee was ly alumbug. But a real, bona fide Union organization, about these times, in New York, would make terrible work with the estimates of the trimmers of Tammany Hall, and the Seward school of political philosophers. At all events, we recommend to the Union men of Massachu- setts a vigorous prosecution of their work. Let them work first to get up a strong convention. That accomplished, the rest of the business ne- cessary to the organization of a formidable party will be comparatively easy. We shall be disappointed if the forthcoming Georgia elec- tion does not give the project ot a general Union movement a good lift. The present state of things cannot last. Ory Wives anp THE Marxe Liqvor Law.— The Boston Courier calls the “attention of con- noisseurs to a choice lot of old wines belonging to the estate of the late Joseph H. Hayward, Eeq.. to be sold by the order of his admin- trator, T. Wigglesworth.’ And this is in Maseachusetts, where, after compelling a man to buy a gallon if he desed only a dram, they have at last denied him a dram, even where he may desire to buy a gallon. But we must remember that the limitation of the liquor licease has not yet expired in Boston, and so the “connoisseurs” in old wines and “strong drink,’ there are unquestionably making the moet of their time, There will have been an extraordinary quantity of liquor consumed in Boston before the expiration of the dog-days. They are cleaning out, to make way for the Maine law. A goodly city, that of Boswon- Talk on Change. Complaints were made regerding the frequent failures of the great Southern or New Osleana mail. Some allow- ance within the past few days, probably, was to be made on account of the weather, which, at the South and West, had part from extreme drought to symptoms of a deluge. Accounts represented the Western rivers, especially the Obio, to be on the rice, But all this aside, the feilares referred (o had been far toe common both ia dry and wet weather, in winter and gummer, and e‘forts to insure greater regularity were needed. It was possible that when the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad went into ope: ation, and one or two other short links were filled up, ie would be shortened and greater regularity ob- cined, The failure of the Southern mail, due the day before the sailiog of a European steamer, as frequen'ly happened, resulted in serious inconvenience, if not in posi- tive pecuniary loss to commercial men. Frequently large fuma of sterling exchange were remitted, intended for tale in this morket, in time for remittance by a steamer for Liverpool er Havre; but the mail friled, and pur- cbarers of bills finding the supply anddenly reduced, were ocmpelled to pay higher rates. The bills remitted from Ney O,leans and other Southern ports, arriving after the departure of the steamer, remaiced somewhat a drng until the approach of another «tuamer's day, of were worked cff at lower rates than could have beon ob. tained ad the mail arrived at the sine {+ was dus. The extension of the jurisdiction of the Marioe Cowet by'the late Legislature, regarding the amount of money involved in # suit, afforded n> naw facilities to eon mercial men, and was no substitute for a commerei il court, which was so much needed, A hope was expreseed that the influence of the foreign powers would soon do something towards putting an end to the war raging at Buenos Ayres, and that the coo stitution framed at Santa Fe, similar to that of the United States, would be adopted by the confederacy of the States, and permanent peace secured, Amidst all the talk about war, it was gratifying to know ‘that one casus belli had been removed by th withicewal of tue valiant Gov.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM THE STATE CAPITOL—AS- SEMBLING OF THE HIGH COURT FOR THE TRIAL OF IMPEACHMENT?S—COMMISSIONER MATHER, WITH HIS COUNSEL, IN ATTENDANCE—INITIATORY PROCEKD- INGS IN THE CASE—ADJOURNMENT OF THE COURT. SPECLAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Asany, July 27, 1853. The derks snd seats of the members of this eourt had ‘been conveniently arranged by placing them in double semi circle, facing the President’s chair; and tables and desks placed in the extremity, within the circle of the Senate chamber, for the accommodation of the Commit. tee of Managers appointed by the Speaker of the House to conduct the proceedings on the part of the people; and also separate desks for the use of counsel for the ao- cused. At precisely eleven o'clock, the time designated. Lieutenant Governor Church called the Judges and Senators to order, who immediately assumed their re spective seata, The Jud occupy the inner circle of desks on the right hend of the atenant Governor; Chief Justice Ruggles oecupying the nearest seat to the reviding officer. The Chair announced that articles of Ney achment against Joho U. Mather had been presented to him, and he had therefore convened the Court for the ccnsideration of the charges, and inquired what order the Court would take in the premises. ‘The roll of members was then called by Ira T. Barnes, Clerk of the Senate, when the following members were arcertained to be present, viz: Judges Ruggles, Johnson, Denio, Morse, Willard, Tagrart—six: absent, Mesars. Gar- diner and Mason; Senatora Beach, Bennett, Clark, Conger, Cooley, Davenport, Huntington, McElwain, Morgan, Mon- roe, Newcomb, Otis, Pierce Platt, Rogers, Snow, Taber, Upbam, Vanderbilt, Van Schoonhoven, Ward, Williams, right; abrent, Messrs. Babcock, Bartlett,” Beekman, Bristol, Corneil, Jones, Kirby, Mctlurray. Smith. Mersrs. Loomis. Champlin, McBurney, Noble and Wood, managers on the part of the House. were present. John C. Mather, the accused, was also attendsnoe. His counsel are Jamee T. Brady, of New York, Rufua W. Peckham and John H. Reynolds, of this city. Daniel S. Dickinson was expected to assist in the defenee, but pressing engagements in his own locality prevented his attendance this day. The articles of impeachment (as published in the Hera. a few days since) were then read. Mr. Senator Taber then rose, and stated that as there were ro rules or regulations forthe order or government of the court, he moved that a committee be appointed to prepare and report a series. His metion was adopted, und the President appointed Senators Taber. Vanderbilt and Pierce, and Judges Ruggles and Johnson. as such committee. A recess was then taken to allow the com- wittee time to prepare the rules. At two o'clock the court ré-assembled, when Mr. Taber reported a series, which were adopted. The committee al:o rey orted the form of a seal, to be koown as the eeal of the Court for the Trial of Impeach- ments, which was agreed to. Mr. Vanderbilt inquired whether it was not proper that the members of the court be now sworn. ‘The President was understood to say, ia reply, that the osth would be administered as soon as it was decided thet the trial'was to be proceeded with, and was ready to examine wituerses. Mr. Loomis announced that himself and colleagues bad been appointed, on the part of the House, managers, to ;proseaute the case. . Peckham, for the defence, stated that exceptions might be taken to ceveral irregularities in the proceedings thus far, expecially beesuse the House of Assembly was not prerent in a body; still, defendant waived all, andonly desired a epeedy trial. Mr. P. then sent up Mr. Mather’s sin writing, in which he denies all the charges al- ged against him; and states that he has done noact as a publie officer, but such as he fully authorized to do, under the constitution and laws of this State. Mr. Loomia stated that the managers required time for the purpose of making an examination of the plea just read, and to consider and decide whether an answor thereto was necessary to be presented. Mr. Peekbam.—How long time do you desire? Mr. Loomis. — About a couple.of hours, I should think. Mr. Pierce.—I then move that the court take a recess until four o'clock. Adopted The Court reassembied at the time appointed. Mr. Loomis submitted ao answer to the statement of the respcndent, in which the managers deelare their belief that the charges contained in the erticlesiof impeachment will be fully susiaived, and promi-e to make them good by evidence. Mr. L. remarked, that the managers re quired some time to prepare for tho trial,§to subpoena witnesses, &e , some of whom are ia remote parts of the State, snd others, it is not distinctly known, at present where ‘hey can bé found; he thought every arrangement could be made so as to preceed with the trial about a fortnight from this time, Mr. Champlia also urged a postpenement to give the munages time to procare wit Lesses, prepare deeumentary evidence, &c. ckham and Reynolds advocated the most iow, They thought that as several witnesses resided in the city, and could readily be produced, the trial could proceed, and at the sawe time thoce at a dis- tence could ba subpaned. The interest of the public, and that of ths ;erson acensed and arreigned, demands an €a:ly disposition of the cave. Judge Jobnron submitted an order postponing the trial uptilthe 16ch day of August next. Tais was carried, twenty two to seven, Jucge Williard submitted an order declaring that the court rball meet at the above-mentioned time at Sura- toga Springs, and bold its session in that village. The Senate chamber was then ordered cleared of all specta tors, and the Senators and Judges entered into a secret session dla militaire court martial, When the doors were opered, a vote was taken by ayes and noes—-nine in favor of Saratoga, and twenty-two in favor of remaining at the capital. On motion of Judge Jchnson, the Court of Impeach- ment then adjourned until the 16th of August. Procla- mation was made accordingly. Trial of John ©.
