The arrival yesterday of the Arabia and Pacific, kom Liverpool, erables us to present our readers with weven days later news from Eng!aud and the conti- ment of Europe. Our advices from London and Li- Yerpool are to the 13th inst., aud we have intelli- gence from the French capital to the 12th. Upto the moment of the departare of the Pacific the most intense anxiety existed in the public mind with re- gard to the ultimate issue of the Oriental question, which was much relieved, but not entirely removed, when the Arabia sailed, owing to the receipt of des patches from St. Petersburg, dated August 3, in London and Paris, which stated that the joint p:ro- Pesitions of England, France and Austria, for an amicable adjustment of the difficulty, .had been accepted by the Emperor Nicholas, and that the consent of the Sultan was alone wauting to ensure the peace of Europe. The people were delighted, and a most extraordinary rise immediately took place in fhe stock markets of London and Paris. A calm comparison of dates, however, tended to allay this feeling of security, as it became apparent that the Emperor of Russia could not have received upoa the third of August despatches which only left Vienna Bpon the first or second of the same month, and the latest reports of the Russian agente were the effect thot an cyacuation of the principalities was not men- tioned in the importent documents referred to. The English ministers had made leugthy-—but not very specific—statements of their hopes and futare policy, in both houses of Parliament, and a general diccussion of the entire Anglo-Russo-Turkish diffi- culty hes been promised to be permitted before the prorogation. ‘The leading French journals are very sceptical of the triumph of the peace policy, and cannot see bow guch ap amount of war element is to be quietly dis- solved. All the politicians seemed to be entirely ig- norant of the real nature of the propositions made on either side. All hoped for peace; but Russia still maintained aboct ope bondved thousand men in the | Dannbian provinces. Both the Russian aud Tarkish armies were soffering dreadfully from the heat ané exhalations from the unhealthy marshes by which they ware surrounded. It was said that Rus- sia meditated anotker expedition against Circassia, and the state of the Asiatic provinces was reprosent- ed as being highly threatening. France was perfectly quiet, and her Geets at Brest and Toulon were kept ready for sea, like that of Eng- Jand at Spithead. The Eaperor was organiziag an Atlantic squadron. The American steamer Monumentel City was lost, upon the 15th of May, on a passage from Port Phi to Sydney, and thirty-tive persons perished, The Arab ship Faze Kereem, from Aden to Bombay, with hat portion of the Indian mails ‘rom London, foan- dered at sea, when sixty-eight mail boxes were lost, ‘and one hundred and seventy nine Arabs and Las cars, with Mr. Napkins, who liad charge of the maila, | were drowned. Newe had bees recelved from Chiva. The impe- rialist army was preparing to retake Amoy, but | with little hope of success. The Christian character ofthe insurgents ie commented upon, bnt uo addi- fiona! facts are added to those which have already appeared inthe HanaLy. We publith to-day a very extended detail of the news, with the latest market quotations and shipping intelligence. By the arrival of the steamship Northorn Light we ave been placed in possersion of a fortaight’s later fnteliigence from California, The news is very in- resting. The mines were yiclding ss abundantly as ever, and the graim fields were never in a more promising condition, One largentable drawba: all this prosperity, however, ia the disorganized « of society, The San Franciseo journals aro over flowing with the details of outrages, robberies, hor- rible murders and !ynehinge, the most remarkable which we may publish hereafter. Joaqnin, tae cove Ficus outlaw, has been killed ‘The immense Hight in the lower part of the lest night was pre ning of tho Sireet Horse, v4 will be by the detailed partion Yars chowhete. The immense ediice was entirely consumed, and it wos erougl the most exxor- @isary exertions of the i-eme~ thad the flames were prevented from spreadiog to an fn which case, no doubt, would have amounted to millions of dollars.

A fever of a very wal!oant type ie reported to be raging in Giloer anid Gordon counties, Ga. One hundred deaths have already ovcurred. The telegraph to-day record still another railroad collision, through the carelesaness of a switch tender, on the Cincinnati and fandusky road. Fortanately no lives were lost, altuough many persons were bad- ly injured. Six cars were smashed—one of them being cut completely in two, and its passengers thrown upon each side of the road. According to « letter from Prince Badward Island, the American fishing schooner Starlight, re- Ported in yesterday’s paper to have been captured by the British steamer Devastation, was taken in Canadian waters—conaequently our Consul pro- tested against the jurisdiction of the Court of Ad- miralty, and she was released upon the payment of coats and the promise of her captain that he would hereafter be more careful where he cast his bait. It ie a curious fact that notwithstanding a large num- ber of American vessels have been captured by the British, only two er three have been condemned. ‘The latest advices from Buenos Ayres report that the city was still besieged by land, and that there was no noticeable change in affairs generally. Great dissatisfaction existed in the camp of the besiegera. Twenty-four Mormons, who are on their way to Europe, arrived at St. Louis last Monday. They re- port the health of Utah to be excellent, and the crops promising. A block of marble, donated by Utah for the Washington Monument, was brought over the Plains by them. A contemplated insurrection of the slavesin Not. toway county, Va., was recently discovered and anp- pressed. They intended murdering all the white in- babitants of the place. Several items relative to maritime disasters are given under the telegraphic head. The whaling schooner 8. R. Loper put into Boston yesterday, short-handed. It will be recollected that two boats’ crews—one commanded by the captain and the other by the mate—some time ago got separated from the vessel, but were subseqvently rescued, utter the most dreadful sufferings. Five hundred dollars were raised at St. John, N. B., for the relief of the passengers of the wrecked bark Charles Clarke, and the govern- ment provided a passage for them to Quebec. The work on the Newfoundland electric telegraph has been suspended, and the superintendent has lett the province. . ‘The house painters again paraded yesterday, and had a meet'ng at Courveution Hall in the eventag. They appear determined not to give in. See the re- port in another column. The Traitors’ Organ Fraud: nd Abomina- « Uons of the New York Tribune, Against the rabid assault of the Tribune the other day, we were content. at the time to present the fifty thousand daily civey tion of the New York Heravp. as a suf ficient and satisfactory answer—snificiert for the vindication of the editor of this jouraal, and of the general policy which it has pursued, and unanswerable as the argument ot our defence. We are admonished, however, that in this sim- ple Lut conclusive reply, our task bas been bat half completed; that the malicious scurrility of our silly cotemporary has laid it open to the fullest retaliation, and that a proper sense of public duiy especially demands a wholesome exporure of the traitors’ organ. since it has so earnestly invited the revival from hastening de- cay of its isolated notoriety. Admonished to this end, and pleading in justification of tho subject the absence of anything of special in terest in the news from Europe, we ehall herein brietly exhibit to the public the garbage and eoa- tagious rags which our Fourierite neighbors for years past, have Leen dispensing to the pab lic, as the proper food and raiment for the re- generation of society; and we may possibly hit upon the pawnbroker’s motives which ty governed them in their disgusting and revo- lutionary schemes of mock benevolence. The history of the New York Trisune is a The ree chapter of exploded abominations. of its philanthropic conceptions logue of detected impositions. Superseded in the legitimate advances of newspaper ex prise in the outset, it soon bit upon the saving expedient of picking up ai! the odds and ends cliques and coteries, of the piebald isms and treasonable factions of the day. Its specious pretences of selfsacrificiag devotion to suffering humanity have been but the tricks of the thim- blerigger; and the moving priuciple of its otherwise inexplicable machinery has len to fleece weak-headed fanatics and simp men women and children, of thelr money filthy luere which your trae philosopi heartily despise. For example, after a seeming encouragement of the journeymen pricters in a movement to advance the prices of their labor, the philanthropists of the Tribune, w trial of the experiment, persist, till they sacoee in the necessity of a reduction. They preach freely ; but money is a cash article—let others lead the way in the praccicai nowledgmeat of the rights of labor. The # of the Tribune ore false lights. They lead but to betray. Let the German tailors auswer to this epecification. Plainfield banks are more reli- able than the destructive reforms of Horace Greeley. While the bubble lasted, the Tridune was the champion of the Tourierite plau of the 1mil- lenium. This system of social re-organization comprehended the fundamental recreta of the attractiveness of labor in the largest sense Firat, the present struc Bo 1 branch, was to be broken up; and community was to be parce’ rd out ite phalanxes, without regard to or, aire sex, or condition, all over the country At these phalanses labor was to be clas vified, the results were to be equalized, matri- movy was to be made free and casy, and the of- pring of the phalanx were to be given in charge {the common nursery, while the close of each week wae to be signalized with a sort of foman saturnalia, modified with the org! the Pecjee islanders.

The Rochester knockings and the Stratford mysteries, Andrew Jackson Davis, and his spiritual manifestations. turned up in the alck of time. Our infidel neighbor appropriated them, encouraged them, and, affecting a mysterious belief in them, assisted wonderfully to spread their shocking delusions with the circulation of the Tribume. And thus our philosophers stand respomsible for the numerous victims which these @piritual impostors have driven to the various lunatic asylums throughont the land, If the Tridune of late has been letting down on this abominable imposture, in ite various phases, we presume that it is because it has ceased to pay expenses. Woman's rights are not yet relinquished. The theories of Lucretia Mott, Abby Kelly Fos- ter. and that other and boldest little infidel of the lot, Madame Rose, have still the elements of vitality and active organization. And to an organ like the Tribune, considering the desperation of their cause, the strong-minded women of the country must naturally con- tribute freely. They pay, and women’s rights are. therefore. part of the living philosophy of our benevolent demagogues. So of the modern type of French Jacobinism and the Continental Socialists of Europe. So of the Lake Superior Copper Mines, the Jersey Zine Company, the California Quartz Fields— they are splendid, beautiful, magniricent specn- lations; but let the world put in, or onr shin- plaster philosophers may lose their investments. And bear in mind, too, that if they have failed to puff Dr. Watts’ nervous antidote, it is hecause Dr. Watts unhappily failed to pay. They have said so. He didn’t understand their nervous system. Overshadowing all the aforesaid abomina- nations. the abolitionism of our Fourierite phi- loscphers has alone been maintained with un- failing constancy from first to last. Upon this issue it ceases to be the victimizer of deluded crack-brained dreamers, and rises to the detesta- ble dignity of the traitors’ organ. True to its grovelling instincts, it would: see this Union destroyed, and the bloody horrors of St. Do- mingo spreading desolation over the Southern States, with the ultimate prospect of rising with Seward and his infameus abolition allies to the contro] of a separate confederacy of the North; but apart from ihis. deriving its support so largely as it does from the fana- tics and demagogues of abolitionism—they pay as they go. The motive is everything, where the end justifies the means. Why, bless your innocence, dear reader, with such antecedents, attachments, associations and pro- pensities, have you ever imagined that the battle of Slievegammon was a thing of acci- dent? or have you ever innocently doubied the diversion of a portion, at least, of the spoils collected upon that heartless forgery? Dismiss your generosity, and learn to jadge of men from Learn that bad associations, bad les, and false pretences of morality beget a bad name, Mark how the whiz party hae suffered from the unfortanate friendship of the traitors’ organ and its allies; beware of its professed devotion to the Maine Liquor law, and be discreet with our philosopher—it is but the old trick of Slievegammon ina new disguise. The Thuge of India are a religious body of assaseins, They strangle the unwary traveller 0 a misguided conviction of duty. The bri- sand gives you the alternative of your money or your life, The pirate upon the high seas, in seuttling a captured ship, destroys only the mortal Lives of those on board—their souls are untouched by his polluted hands. But the preacher of such abominations as spiritual com- munings through such mediums 4s infidel im- posters; the advocate of such a system of mix ccllaneous beastiality as that of Fourier, of ench infamous doctrines as those of Lucretia Mott, and such rank treason and blasphemy as that of Lloyd Gortison, prrsugs his victim to the desiruction of his body and soul. Yet sueh haye been, now are, and probably will continue to be, the pharisnical writem: of the New York Zrilune. Their ictims, exhausted of their mo: and their borne headlong into the slough of ‘so- claliem and inildelity. if they do not wind up thei” hapless career in some lunatic asylim, sh it, perchance, in aurepeated crimes. The New York Tribune, therefore, as the organ and the oracie of this chapter of abomi- nailons, stands in direct antagonism to the principles and the policy of the Nuw Yor ixpaLp. The former wonld clothe society with the fetid rags and feed it upon the gar- bage upon which ite Jacobin philosophers sub sist, and call it reformation, We aim simply to be the exponent of am enlightened pablic opinion. “By their fruits ye shall know them’ Arvams or Tre Fast—Is War ro un Avoipen? — The intelligence brought from Crope by the Arabia end Pacifie, though not absolutely conclug’ve ia the matter of the Ruseo-Turkish question, is considered by many of such & charecter as #o Ret all apprehousions nu the wulject of war at rest. We must not come to this oonelnsion with too much haste. The terms agreed to at Vienna, by the representatives of France, England, Austria, end Prussia, and embodied in & anole enbmitted to the !mperor of Russia, have met, it is said, with his concurrence, and itonly needed his oficial acceptance thereof to make the settlement of the matter an accom- plished fact. Thore was not tho elightoat doubt entertained as to its being instantly acecded to hy the Sultan: and when bis formal] recognition of It had taken place, t the auibassadior from the Rorte was to be recsived by Nicholas, and the Russian ¢ dian provi ‘awa from the Dann- Nous vervons i y set forth for ment of pacific rr Ops W nal twoen Russia and Turkey.

But is his gentleness and acquiescence eal or simulated? That is the proposition on which rests the sanctity of the convention, and the contigaance of peace in Europe; and the colutiabf the problem must be made by time alone. Tt does mvt seififire a great range of penetra- tion to discover how Nicholas may, in form, ob- serve the stipulations contained in this note of Vienna, and yet within the pext six months so violate them in spirit as to annex the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia to his dominion. His troops have now ocenpied these provinces for weeks, Russian emissaries have traversed the country, weaning the people from their alle- giance to Turkey. That allegiance has been already repudiated; and though the Russian soldiery may recross the Pruth in the first weck of September, and actuating the with- drawal of the French and English fleets from the Bay of Besika, a revolution may burst out within the succeeding week in the Danubian provinces; another excuse can easily be found to send a Russian corps d’armée to the aid of the insurgents, and before a fleet could again make its way to the Black Sea, Turkey may have lost her provinces, and all the plans of French and English diplomacy for her protec- tion may be thus foiled by the superior cunning of the Russians, We do not say these events will take place, but their oocurrence are far from improbable. The Eastern question is not yet rettled. Tur Orp Bay Stare mw Covrem—Tar Era or Convrytions.—Our Massachusetts friends have a great paseion for conventions, From the time of the Pilgrims up to this blessed nine- teenth century, they have been continually getting together in little cliques and talking over their grievances. Often real, sometimes supposed At present, with their great railway facilities, the number of conventions is very large—it seems, almost, that the million of people in Massachusetts have nothing in the world to attend to but to hold conventions. If they were productive of any good results, the loss of time would not be of so much ac- count. but generally they endin smoke. There are s0 many great men in Massachusetts—so many individuals who belong to the mutnal admiration cliques, that they never can bring about ‘any good end withont an immense deal of quarrelling about side issues. The great political test qnestion, this fall, is the adoption of the revised State coustitation, which the people will be called upon to accept or reject on the first Monday in November. A portion of the whigs and national democrats oppose the amendments. The liberal demo- crats and free soilers are in favor of it. The Maine law question enters largely into the canvass. One party desires its repeal—anc ther, that it shall be amended—and the third, that it shall stand as itis. None of the load- ers on either wing dare to come out flat-footed, and say upon which horn of the dilemma they will seize. These facts will make the politicai gatherings very interesting. They will he holden as follows -- September 13th—State Temperance Conven- tion, at Boston. September 15th—Free Democratic State Con- vention, at Fitchburg. September 22d—Democratic State Conven- tion, at Worcester. September 22.—National vention, at Boston. September 28.—Whig State Convention, at Fitchburg. In addition to the settling, or rather the stirring up, ofthe political affairs of the State, alarge number of other meetings are to be holden in® Massachnsetts and vicinage, during the coming six weeks. At Boston, this day. the “ American Pharmaceutical Association” has its annus] session, At Hartford, on the 15th and 14th of September, the surviving offi- cers of Gen, Pierce’s regiment in Mex the ‘bleody ninth’—have a reunion. Th days are the anniversaries of the battle of Cha- pultepec. September 16th, the Massachnsetts Charitable Mechanics’ Association open their triennial exhibition of art and industry. at Los ton. The recurrence of this exhibition at this time has pre-induced the very smali sbow of the products of New England mechan‘es artists, and manufacturers. ut the New York exhibition. On the 28th of Septembor, the Essex Oonnty Agrieulinvai Society have their sunual fair at Lawrence, and there are numer- ons other gatherings of less note to be held throughout the State. Altogether the quence and learning” which the Massachuveits men tell us they have so much of will have a fine chance for display. Let the farmers get in their crope, put money in their parses, and journey to the gatherings of their several pet cliques. Let everybody talk a great deal. and insist upon quarreling with everybody else, whether there is cnuce or not. We will stand Democratic Con- ‘elo- | aside aud see the fun. MisERADLE MANAGEMENT OF THE CavstaL Pa- We give place, elaewhere in our columns, to-day, to a communication from a visiler of the Orystal Palace, complaining of the incouve- niences and annoyances to which visiters are rubjected by means of the miserable man- ngement which has cheracterized that ineti- tution from ite opening to the present mo- ment, We have for a long time endeay. dto paliiate the various errors and de! displayed in the erection and subsequent con- duet of the Crystal Palace, attributing thom to want of experience on the part of the a and to unforeseen difficulties thoy hand te eonnter; but the utter stupidity aud want of crimination and ¢ the preseat time, w riher extenuation of it, to the poblie; and a our duty therefore induces us to pudlish tho communication (6 which we refer.

This isa good type and sample of the stupidity which throws its heavy dulnees over the whole management. Ifa gentleman present a complimentary season ticket, which has not been therctofore presented by any other person, what necessity is there for inquiry further about it? The press do not want complimentary tickets, but rather the directors are anxious that they should have them, 60 as to secure more frequent and perhaps more favorable notices. And they are the dearest tickets they dispose of, inaemuch as ten times their price would not procure such an amount of advertfement. Editors and reporters can afford to pay for tickets as well as other people, and when they accept them, the advantage is very rarcly on their side. But still less rarely are they made to experience the indignities and annoyances which they have been subjected to on the part of the management of the Orystal Palace. from the inauguration banquet at Niblo’s—where they were expected to occupy a distinct table from the guests, and where subsequently the president of the association volunteered a certi- ficate that they were not all Robert Macaires nor leviers ot black mail—down to the present moment, when they have to undergo an exami- nation at the hands of the officials in the Crys- tal Palace. as if they had stolen or forged their complimentary ticket. With such contempti- ble, miserable management, it is not to be won- dered at that its stock is rapidly falling in the market. Tre San Francisco Cusrom Hous Arratr.— We published. on Saturday last, a communica- tion over the signature of Frank Ward. ad- dressed to the Seeretary of the Treasury, enu- merating various instances in which it is al- leged by the writer that frauds were committed on the United States government by the man- agement of the Custom house business at San Francisco, Then we yesterday allowed the Hon. T. Butler King the privilege of our col- umns for the refutation of Mr. Ward’s state- ment, and extended « like courtesy to the lat- ter gentleman for the publication of another letter, forwarded to us by telegraph from Wash- ington, in reply to one which had appeared from Mr. King on the previous day, in an- other of the journals of this city. We now, to close the concern, and that we may ex- tend equa) privileges to both parties, publish today communication from T. Butler King, Junior, in response to Mr. Ward’s letter of yesterday. This leaves two communications on each side—quite sufficient, we should ima- gine, to put the public in possession of the facts, and certainly as much as we are inclined to inflict upon our readers in relation there- to. We therefore notify the parties that we decline devoting any more of our space to the discussion of these Custom House frauds, and we respecifully hand over the affair to the investigation of the Secretary of the Treasury. | | | } | | | Cunious Stare or Tres ar Atpayy.—The Albany -fd/as thus defines the present condition of party politics in that neighborhood.

Tkey have prod ced the following operas: —" Lucia,” “ Norma.” ‘ Rowrto,” “ Flisir,”? “Don Giovanni,” ‘‘Sonrambola ” + Lucresia, Regimento,” ‘‘Rarbiere ”’ -* Ervavi,” and Kleven in all, Tho most popular «t these,such an Lucia,” “ Luerezia,” “Norma,” and “Don Giovenni,”? have ron three nights, The sesson has been very sassessful, and must have efforded a handfome profit to the lessees.

Badiali iq excelleut in every part ex- cept perhaps Don Giovanni, where his acticg fills balow hia usval standard. Marini who just recovered ip time to corvince us how much the public has lost by his ace'dent, is asinger of epl-ndid gifts, and an artist of noble power, Salvi sings Elviao wall; bit to telk the plain truth, his voice is no longer what it was, and with falling bebe he exhibits an ine-es ud de- sie to substitute his own wurie for that v. 6 eom- porer’s.
