The News. ‘The Baltic, from Liverpool, arrived at this port about noon yesterday, and put us in possession of files of the London journals to the 27th July, to- gether with the latest advices from the continent of Karope, and from China and India. The news is of a highly interesting character. ‘We buve abundant evidence that the cabinets of London, Paris, Vienna, and Constantinople, expe- Fienced the usual alternations of hope and fear with aegard to the peaceful or warlike issue of the Eastern question, and we cannot discover that the Russian Emperor has shown the least disposition to recede from the position he has already gained. Lord Aberdeen has fully acknowledged that the occu- pation of the principalities by the troops of Blichiolas-made a casus belli, but, either dreading the + responsibility” or fearful to measure swords with ] Ws Northern antagonist, the Premier hesitates to @ @peal to arms, and seems to incur the odium of @ erting the Sultan, in order to give a last chance ef ° peace to the Czar, which the latter does not ap- pe rtovalue. A peace policy, and the expected ha, wy issue of negotiations, are proclaimed by the Bo, tish and French ministers, after a Lord Mayor's ban quet in Loudon; but at the same time a reply is refut ed to Mr. Layard’s motion for information in the ( Jommons, upon the ground that explanations wouk 1 be inopportune. 6 Int be meantime, the Russians have disposed their forces Wallachia in a line along the Danube, ex tending * from Orsora.to Sulina, with their head- quarters at Bucharest. The Turkish fortresses of Wieden, Rustchuk, and Silestca are covered by large b edies of Russian troops, stationed at Kalefat, Ghiurgero, and Kalarash, directly Opporite; and we apprehend that it mast de amost: ‘leverly written and polite note which will ‘eause them « to march away, and thus prove the suje- ior power which the pen possesses over the sword. Avstrian tr 20ps are being marched to Great Bee- skerck and .Yeterwardien, whilst Omer Pasha has dix his forces along the line of Shumla. The fleets of Englund and France remain in Besika Bay, and the home governments do not consider the de- ecribed attitudes of these great armies as threatening. The uflairs of Koezta’s arrest at Smyrna has added gome complications to the questiun; bat popular opinion was loud in condemnation of the tyranaical evnduct of Austria, in seizing upon a maa whilst he was quietly enjoying himself in another country— Turkey. The instant action of Captain Ingraham jn’ elevated the American characfer more and more dm.the eyes of Europeans; and although Austria may atke her complaint at Washington, we have no ext but her demand for redress will meet ith a peremptory refusal, both on account @f ber inbuman mode of capture—by the lasso—and her Piolation of the Turkish territory. Although Kos zte was nota cit'zen of the United States, he wawsti!).a human being, and our characteristic hu- manijy actuated Captain Iograbam. We are just inf rmed by advices from Washington, that the calinet,wisi fully sustain tne action of the captain of the Gaim’ Levis. It appears that a committee of the English House of Cormmons has elicited some interesting facts rela tive to the Cuban slave trade, and the profits to the Captains General from sworn witnesses. The state- ments of the Hrmarn are fully borne out. By the arrival of the overland mail in England, we learn that the Chinese revolutiouists had not wnly captured Naakin but also Ching-Kian, in the -vicinity, and that the Empire of China had been divided, and Naakin rendered independent of the reigning dynasty. The latest news from Switzerland, Prussia, Italy, Greece and the Cape of Good Hope, with an account Of the loss of the New York packet ship I Z, by‘fire, and the last commercial intelligence and market yates, are given in full in this morning's paper. From Buenos Ayres advices have been received to the 10th of June, seventeen days later than our pre- vious dates. The sieze and blockade of the city was sovtinued by general Urquiza, but the city showed no disposition to surrender; on the contrary it is re- presented that the conildence of the citizens iu the eventual discomfitare of the General and his forces Was ou the increase. A letter from Surinam, (Dutch Guiana,) of July 16, states that African slavery is soon to be abolished im that colony, and that Chinese coolies are to be introduc a instead. Thomas Couner was executed for murder, at Bal timore, on friday. The scene was witnessed by an immense concourse of people, and appears to have ‘been one of unnsval herror. An aceount of it is given in another column. The corner stone of a new Episcopal church, to be allied Zion church, corner of Madison avenue and ‘Thirty-eighth street. was laid yesterday, nnder the @revtion of Bishop Wainwright. Orr inside pages contain a continned description of articles in the Orystal Palace, the fourth day's proceedings of the National Scientific Convention, the last two days’ proceediugs of the Teacher’ Assu: @ation of the Btate of New York, Washingtor Gossip, correspondence relative to the slayer Lady Buffolk, &c. &c. A Jon ror Tammayy Haii.—The troubles among our democratic organs, democratic Syra eure delegates, aud demvcratic breth Albany, are of such a charecter that we see no prorpect of a compromise, except in ao appeal t Tammany Hall. We pray the Sachems therefore, of old Tammany, aad the sights of the coal hole. to come to the relief of the wrang- ling brethren at Albany, otherwise they may a well prepare for « general distarbance at Syra- etive, Cannot something of an armistice be patebed up in the coal bole? Almost any thing may anewer for a month or lwo. * ‘Mr, Walker's Miesion—T ade of China. It is now understood that. as there is no proper or available naval steamer for his accommoda- tion. Hon. Robert J. Walker will, if he goes at all, goto Liverpool by the Colling or Cunard line, and thence by the Mediterranean and the British overland and steamship transportation line to the Fast Indies and the Celestial Empire. It ie, we should say. desirable that Mr. Walker should hasten to the scene of his futu-e diplomatic labors as soon as possible. A very interesting revolution is under way in the Ce- lestial Empire, the most curious and interesting to ‘outside barbarians” of any in the history of all Asia for the last thousand years. The re- volutionists, ander the “ Prince of Peace,” are Christians. whose religion has crept into the very heart of China, in spite of Chinese walls and their rigid exclusion of all outsiders. and who are propagating the faith by fire and eword, according to the most approved Orien- tal fashion. -If they are successful in ele- vating to the throne of the empire their chosen candidate. we may calculate upon seeing the Christian religion introduced as the law of the land, and upon a large opening for all the blessings of civil and re- ligious liberty and free trade. If the revolu- tionists, on the other hand. are finally de- feated. the ‘powers that be” will doubtless make some provision against future difficulties of the same kind, by treaties of alliance. offen- sive, defensive. and protective. with foreign powers. In any such engagements we may safely count upon England’s prompt attention to her commercial interests. Hence the neces- sity of the earliest possible departure of Mr. Walker for China. Mr. Marshall may possibly have been at- tempting to do something ; but from all ac- counts he has not succeeded in doing anything; and we suspect that his instructions were rather of the “neutrality” sort than of that positive character of those of Mr. Walker, which, we venture to say, will not only authorize him to make new and important treaties with China, but will require of him to take the initiative, as far as practicable. in ex- tending our commercial transactions with the great Central Flowery Kingdom. According to De Bow’s Review the amount of our trade with China at the present time. in cotton and woollen goods, is as follows:— Unbleached muslins, 90,523 pieces; bleached mus- ling, 6,398 pieces; twilled cottons, 116,140 pieces ; calicues or chintzes, 3,130 pieces ; cotton handker- chiefs, 260 dozen; cotton yarn. 59,567 Ibs. Woollen good: broad cloths, 615 pieces; cassimeres, 968 pieces; camlets, 4,958 pieces. While. on the other hand. the trade of Eng. land with China, in exports, is— Unbleached muslins, 1,792,321 pieces; bleached muslins, 645,356 pieces; twilled cottons, 133,591; calicoes or chintzes, 75,174 pieces; cotton haudker- chiefs, 61.480 dozen; cotton yarn, 4,314,957 lbs. Woollen goods—broad cloths, 384,643 pieces; cassi- meres, 303,717 pieces; camlets, 331,673 pieces; bian- kets, 6,335 pieces. We leave put the opium traffic of the East India Company, which can scarcely be con- sidered a branch of legitimate trade with China, notwithrtanding its admission was forced upon the Emperor by the late war; but the tea im- ports of England, from which she derives the enormous revenue of some twenty millions of dollars. is an item of the back traflic of very considerable importance. Looking. therefore at these statistics, and at the present highly interesting internal afiairs of the Chinese empire, we have only to repeat, that it is of the first im portance that Mr. Walker should be off for Pekin as soon as possible, because we may reasonably expect from his great experience in all that pertains to the world’s commerce aud its movements the most advantageous com- mercial reciprocities before be returos. The present crisis should not be neglected, for it may offer the greatest advantages to so skilfa a diplomatist as Mr. Walker. Besides, the way should be opened. for the time is at hand for the introduction of steam navigation between Ame- rica and Asia. With these views we shall be happy to announce the early departure of Mr. Walker for the Central Flowery Kingdom. An Axarsine Discovery! 18 Lrevrevant Macry a Piacianist ?—Tue Liverroot Saces IN A Quanpaky.—We published in yesterday’s Heratp anextract from an English paper, in which was given the proceedings of the Dock Committee, relative to a letter from Lieutenant M. F. Maury, U.S. N., superintendent of the national observatory. and author of the very ingenious system of wind and current charts which have been so generally adopted and so generally successful Mr. Maury was vouched for by C. Wentworth Dilke, one of her Britannic Majesty’s accredited commissioners to the New York Exbibition, and the letters of both gentle- men are passed by the Mayor of Liverpool over to the chairman of the Dock Committee, as the Mayor evidently thought that that gentle- man ought to know his business. It is not the first time that even a mayor has been mistaken. The chairman said that he did not know anything about Mr. Maury or Mr. Dilke! Now, the Deck Committee of Liverpool are looked up to as sages in the matter of all things pertaining to the commércial marine. The immense docks (some of them ten acres in area) over which they preside, are justly the pride of the ancicut towa of Liverpool, the town which mobs Wilberforce, aad, thirty years after, falls prostrate at the feet of Fred Douglass. and all the Beechers, and all the Stowes. In these docks float vessels of every nation ; and so great is the trade with the United States that the fees of the American Consul are estimated to amount to double the talary of the President of the United States. Aud witb all this the Dock Commitive and the Chairman thereof never beard of Lieut. Maury! Did be ever hear of the Magna Charta? Tie accession of the Prince of Orange? The victory of the yeeht America at Cowes, and the subse- quent triumph of Mr. Grinnell’s Trnant? Did he ever hear of the ships Sovereign of the Seas the Black Squall, the Flying Cloud, the North- orn Light, the Challenge. or the Surprise? Does he read the ? We will say for his benetit that it is a newspaper of consi- Times derable civeulation, quite ‘valuable as an ad" vertising medium,” and is printed at London By referring to a file of that journal, he will ates of nd the following, a portion of the « the House of Commons, (by the war. doe know there is a House of Commons’) July 15th he Sir R.

Admiral Berxexey replied, that her Majesty's government were prepared to take their part in any well-digested plan for the objects in view. We think that this. and a United States Navy Register, will inform the Chairman who Lieut. Maury is. But the second remark of the worthy Chairman is more important. After saying that he knew nothing of Lieut. Maury, the Chairman said that“ a great part of Lieut. Maury’s book was taken from Mr. Towson’s work, without acknowledgement.” With all due reverence for Mr. Rankin. we do not believe one word of the charge. Lieut. Maury’s system is the result of actual surveys, paid for by our government. while the English navy was employed in watching to see that John Bull’s toes were not trodden upon or his pocket picked. Sir R. Inglis’s remarks prove this; and the Lords of the Admiralty would have adopted the system if it had not been Aimerican. at once.. Your thoroughbred English Admiral (like to him that was pickled and drank by the sailors) ie a most desperate stickler for the crown and anchor, and ifhe is “of the White” and a ‘ K.C.B.,” he will persuade you that there is nonavy except that of her Britannic Majesty, and no officers like those of the old school. You shonld have been at Tra- falgar or Aboukir if you wanted to see a navy. We should have preferred a safer locality and the loss of information. Of this style is the Chairman of the Dock Committee, with a slight admixture of the old gentleman “who would be very glad when the cursed railroads were done away with, and we had the good old stage coaches back again.” As the Admtral is to the Royal Navy. so is Mr. Rapvkin to the Royal Marine. He was well re- buked by one of his brethren, who “thought the subject upon which Lieutenant Maury was en- gaged was of importance to the whole of Great Britain, and whether his information was second-hand or original it was not for the com- mittee to decide.” This gentleman saved the committee from covering themselves with ridi- cule like a garment. We cannot but feel shocked at such speci- mens of ignorance, falsification. and bigotry, in so highs place. It seems beyond belief that a subject agitated in the national Senate, men- tioned in the newspapers, the subject of discus- sion in the Royal Society. and pertaining di- rectly to the Chairman’s interest, should have never been heard of at all by him. One thing is certain, he will never hear the last of it. We are afraid that Liverpool is still in a be- nighted state. There is a great field before Mr. Hawthorne, and he can amuse himself and benefit the Rankins of Liverpool by a new lot of juvenile books, such as Young America was used to delight in twenty years ago. Rankin. et id genus omne, might learn a great deal in this way, and Hawthorne thereby be glorified. We trust something will be done at once for these heathen, It’s a great * mission,” and worthy the author of the “Scarlet Letter” and the “Life of General Pierce.” Tue Lapy Surrotk Stave Suip—Senor Vivo axp Ex-Consctt SuarkeEy.—The correspond- ence which we publish to-day from Judge Sharkey, concerning his alleged complicity in the fraudulent sale of the slave ship Lady Suffolk, to a Mexican trader, last. May, will be read with interest. It fully exoner- aes our ex-Consul from the crime which the ship’s papers attribute to him—that is, a fraudulent connivance in the fraudulent sale of the vessel, in the grating of a false cer" tificate of ownership. The views of our corres- pondents are thus fully established. Now we shall expeet to hear of Senor Buenaventura Vivo’s recall from Spain by General Santa Anna, or the full exposure, by authority of our government, of his conduct to the government and the diplomatic corps at Madrid. The con- duct of Senor Vivo in this Lady Suffolk trans- action. has disqualified him for ever from official or private association with honorable men, or else he has himself been the dupe of other par- ties. But until he shall have made out his case the facts as they stand warrant the impression that he not only disgraced his own official posi- tion at Havana. in fraudulently securing the sale ofa piratical vessel under a false name but that he has been guilty of a base outrage upon the reputation of our ownconsul, in forging his authority to the aforesaid piratical transaction. We suppose that our government will not be content to let this affair pass with this correspondence of Judge Sharkey. The guilty parties should be punished. Tue PanaMA RattRoap.—TERRIBLE News, IF Trve.—We make the following extract from an editorial article of the Freeman’s Journal of yesterday. If what is therein stated as facts is substantially true, it becomes the duty of the Panama Railroad Company, from every consideration of respect for public opinion, to make known their defence. But if these allega- tions are substantially false, the company, from a sense of justice to themselves, will see the policy of a prompt and authentic refutation. Our object in the republication of this matter is to bring it more directly to the notice of the parties concerned. so as the more speedily to elicit the truth, The Freeman’s Journal says:— From intelligent persons who have recently cross- ed the Istbmus, we have Jearned many startling facts in reference to the mortality among the Panama laborers. It appears that the company make a rule tw engage @ laborer for a period not less than four months, during which he contracts on condition of a forfeiture of his pay and return passage, to work that time in competition with gangs of native laborers, at such points of the road as the engineers may di- rect. After a little while the emigrant is excessive- ly enervated, and finds himself unable to pertorm his regular ta-k. An extreme Jassitude overtakes him, and between the scorciiny rays of the sun, the chill ing showers and the conseq: ent prodaction of aa- healthy exbalations, the sywem becomes charged with the deadly poison of divease, aud death soon claims i(8 viction. Often tae lavorers scarcely get to their work before a sudden shower falls upon them uid when perspiring profasely over the spade or pick, If they abundon the work for the day, but tew have the means er the prudeuce to change their clothes, or perhaps they resume the same wet gar mevts on the following day. It is searcely necessa ry to say what 18 the inevituble rest We ure credibly info ned that at the end of three mouths, the average mortality is fifty per vent, and that at the close of the fourth mouth the deaths range as high as eighty out of every hundred ! Now, these are terrible facts if they be true. We presume, too that statements of so grave a character as these would not lightly made by any journal with any respect for be t truth. Tut we can hardly cntertain the inevitable inference from this afore- eaid quotation, that the forfeiture of the laborer’s pay and return paseaye, is inteuded to cover contingent losses to the company, utterly regardless of the laborer’s elaims to the com- mon feelings of humanity. We trust. for their own eake, as well as for the satisfaction of the public, that the Panama Railroad Company will give this eubject that attention which the article from whieh our extract is made, unquestionably demands, ‘Taik on Change. The heavy fall of ram on Seturday had the offest ef ebeching transasticns in produse. (nly about five hua- ed bales of eotton were sold. without change in prices. eadetuffe were also without marked shange. Common brands State fleur sold at $5 31. closed with less animation.

From the immense quantity of rain-whieh fe!l on Saturday, fears were expressed that if it had been general, serious damage bad been done in places to als, bridges, railoads, &e., and that injury had re sulted to the crops. In the lower part of the city several cellars were deluged. There was some conversation regarding the reported fraudulent land warrant transactions, &e. It was said that this way not the first ease of the kind. Some time during the past year, there was'a similar ease before the courts. It was conridered next to impossible for parties to commit these fraudr, uuless persons in the employ- ment of government co operated. If goveroment officials were corrupt, and disposed to collude with outsiders, there was searcely avy department in which malpractioes might pot occur. It was fortupate beth for the govera- ment and the publie when such cases were detected and uilty parties brought to condign punishment. Public officers, both high and low, should be above suspicion. Surprine was expressed at the manifesto of Judge #4: monds on spiritual rappings. None doubted the sincerity ‘and good intentions of the Judge, or that he really and fully believed what he asserted; yet the credibility of his ceed appeared none the stronger by his statements, to which his book could give no additional strength. How. ever, pumerous disciples were found elsewhere; very few, if apy, were found among merchants who attend ‘Change. It there were any of the Judge’s stripe among them they were unknown. Their minds were too much eceupied with the stern and practisal realities of life, requiring the constant exercise of good common sense, to find time to indulge in idle dresma, or im the vague theo- ries of intangible nonentitios. A merchant engaged in the Australian trade asked why the Post Office in this city, im all eases, exacted the pre payment of forty eight cents on all letters mailed for Austiaha throngh Fogland. It was supposed that it was optional to prepay to Eogland, and that the postage from England to Australia. might be collected in the latter country on its receipt. ‘The custom with theeity postmasters, to charge double postage on le'ters mailed by the steamers for Europe, after 103, A. M., was complained of. What great trou- ble would there be in Mr. Fowler causing a clerk, or to authorize the mail agent on the steamer’s wharf, to receive letters im prepaid or stamped envelopes, up to witbin five or ten minutes of the steamer’s sailing? or in receiving outside letters at the usual rates at the Post Office, until ll or 1134 4 M, and then to send a messenger with a small bag containing them,to the steame:? Sach a course would prove a very trifling expeuse to the government, and prove @ great accommodation to business men. 1t was stated that a desision had been made in some of the courts, t» the effect that, ifs man left the United States after declaring bis intentions to become a citizen, and tabing an oath of allegiance, and before the expira- tion of five years, (unless in the service of the United States,) forfeited his franchise so far that his five year's probation would only count from the dite of his return and continued residence. It was thought that this view of the naturalization laws was somewhat applicable to Mr. Costa’s case. st Smyrna. The question arcse as to |. whether the United States were bound to protect a man, ‘as citizen, in a foreign country, who had gone no far- ther to make himself such, than to declare his intentious and take the oath of alleziance ? Loeking to the simple justice of the care, it appeared tbat he ought to be pro- tected at all bazerds. Theatrical Intelligence.
