Whe News. We give this morning the details of the news from Europe brought by the steamship Niagara, at Halifax. The Eastern question had nearly reached ‘its climax, and war is inevitable. After the expi- ration of the brief period of fifteen days, in the event of the Russians refusing to evacuate the Principalities, hostilities would be commenced. It is evident that the Turks are preparing for a desperate struggle, as they believe their existence asa nation is in- volved in the issue. The Sultan's declaration to upheld his empire by the sword to the last ex- tremity, the levying of additional troops, and the offer of two millions of piastrés by the priesthood, imdicate the feeling which prevails. Meanwhile, Prizee Gortschakoff has, in effect, annexed the Principalities, and announced to the Hospodars that Menschikoff would henceforth administer the govern- ment. The greatest activity prevailed on both sides. We have commented more at length on this topic in another column. In England frequent cabinet coun- eila had been beld, the Queen and all the Ministers having reached London. The Chancellor of the Ex- ehequer, at the inauguration of the Peel statue at Manchester, had made a speech, and, withont point- ing out the course Great Britain would pursue in the eoming war, admitted that it should set itself against the absorption of power by Russia. Intelligence is received that Com. Perry's squadron reached Japan , on the Sth July, and sailed again onthe 17th. The ports would not be opened until spring. They were well received. Austria is concentrating an army on the Turkish frontier. Miss Cunningham has been liberated frem prison at Florence. The telegraphs Eastward gave out, and our cespatch is necessarily brief. Our news from Central America is very late, very full, and very interesting. Our dates from the capi- tal of Costa Rica are up to the Sth inst., and in the journals which we have received from San José we have dates from Guatemala to the 2d of Septem er, and from San Salvador to the ‘th. Hostilities were still being carried on between these two tast named republics. A party of men under one Sefior Rubi bad invaded the territory «f Guatemala, and sacked some towns. On the other hand, a party of three hundred men under the command of Col. Zabala had landed in the port of Omoa, belonging to Honduras. The commandant of the latter por: was shot up in the Costte wid. to gartiovm, Deu vuly DYO- visioned for eight days. Forces had been sent tothe assistance of the garrison. The Central American papers were discussing the question of the proposed Spanish protectorate, and had mostly declared oppo- sition to that scheme. Our correspondence gives a very full narrative of the reception of Hon. Solon | Borland, U. 8. Minister to Central America, by the President of Nicaragua; and we are also enabled to | publish the speech delivered by that diplomatist on the occasion of his presentation. Our letters also re- late the particulars of a most disgusting and brutal outrage committed on one of our countrymen by the Alcalde and troops of one of the Nicaragnan towns. Mr. Borland had demanded the punishment of the aggressors, and the Alcalde had been arrested aud sent to the capital for trial. Altogether, our Cen- tral American news to-day ix highly important and interesting. The steamship Northern Light, from San Juan via Norfolk, arrived yesterday morning. The Isth- mus was free from sickness, and the river and steam- boats in capital order. The N. L. brought our files of Jamaica journals to the 12th inst., with an inte- resting letter from our Kingston correspondent, of the same date. The new Governor, Sir Heury Bark- ley, had arrived at the island, and took up the reins of government upon the 6th of this month, to the great delight of the people, who hope that the dis- organiziug differences which have existed so long between the executive and representative bodies will be healed by a prudent administration. The mar- | kets ruled higher in consequence of this renewed Popular confidence. The ship fee of $3 75, payable by vessels entering the harbor of Kingston, is abol ished. The weather was fine, and the yellow fever all gone. Oor newspaper extracts embrace the latest Jamaica ard interinsular intelligence. i The steamship Hermann is now overdue. A larg | steamer is reported to have passed into Province town, supposed to be the Hermann in distress. Onur filesirom the Bahamas have been handed to us by Captain Dorrittie, of the brig Pedrazza. The | dates of the 1, (N. PL) papers are to the sth inst. We extract the most interesting items relative | to the trading and financial condition of the islands with some curious miscellaneor ws. lies of the Turks Islands @. ‘e of the Sth inst. have reached us, but they contain only a few local items, and none of interest bere. Our marine intelligence to-day contains farther enumeration of the disasters occasioned by the late gale. It will be seen that several vessels have been entirely lost, and a very large number very badly dis- abled and driven ashore. The effects of the hurri cane appear to have been mainly felt between the parallels of 20 and 40, and froma about longitude 74 © 80. Itis matter of congratulation that among so many serious mishaps, the loss of human been but slight. Accounts from St. Joh state that the gale on oth inst. was very severe. The Ingeahbam Testimonial Committee met last night at 343 Broadway, and organized an asec n called “The Society of Universal Democracy.’ A long letter from Colonel Henningsen, Kossuth's political agent in Constantinople, on the manuers, custéme and character of the Tarks, was read, and committee appointed to i into case of Henry Van Rensche, a naturalized citizen of the United States, who was seized in Hamburg by the Prossian government, and condemned to four years imprisonment.

The news from Europe caused a better demand for breadstufts | generally, though without any material advance in | price. Provisions were inactive. Cotton has ad- vanced onehalf to five-elghths of a cent per Ib. | since Saturday last, with light sales. Vessels are | searce, and in demand for Eurepean ports. A fire occurred in Providence, on Wednesday night, destroying the Howard block, the Museum, and | many other buildings. Loss estimated at three hun- | dred thousand dollars, probably one-half covered by insurance. The whigs of the Eighth ward held last evening a meeting to ratify the whig ticket, which was poorly attended. See report under City Politics. Michael M’Coy and James Duffy, charged with the murder of Catharine Quigley, at Jamaica, Long Island, were yesterday both discharged from custody; the evidence adduced, in the opinion of Justice Snedeker, did not exhibit enough to authorize him to detain them any longer in custody. Dur- ing the investigation, which has consumed over eight days, upwards of thirty witnesses have been examined. The opinion of the Court will be found in another column. The President and his private secretary attended the State agricultural fair at Baltimore yesterday, and returned to Washington in the evening. The address of the Democratic State Committee, and the resolutions passed last night by the Demo- cratic Republican General Committee, will be found in another column. The miners in the Cumberland coal region have demanded an increase of wages. Progress of the Turkish Struggle, The Rosso-Turkish game goes on slowly, but still each mail brings us nearer the solution. Last week we heard of the Sultan’s concnrrence in the sentiment expressed by the Grand Nation- a1 Couneil: the papers of yesterday, and the inte- resting telegraphic intelligence given in another column, contain the accounts of the first overt act towards a break out of hostilities. Fifteen days are granted to the Russians to evacuate the Prin- cipalities. Aecording to the rules which guide private individuals, such a cautious mode of proceeding with an intruder seems almost super- fluous; but nations move more slowly. Precipi- tancy in an affair in which such momentous in- terests are involved, and which can hardly fail te cost the lives of thousands of men, would be criminal; and diplomatic usage, which is based in this particular on the dictates of humanity and forbearance, requires that the Russians should be placed still further in the wrong be- fore a shot is fired. Of course, neither the Sul- tan nor any one else expects the Russian troops to move during the period prescribgg, The form of notifying them that it has expired will probably be gone through, and then the work will commence in earnest. Active preparations are being made by the Porte in anticipation of the final appeal to arms. The British and French fleets have been invited to repair to Constantinople, and yolun- teers from almost every country in Europe are being enrolled in the Turkish service. Offers to enter the Sultan’s army have been received from vast numbers of Poles, Hungarians, Itali- ans; and refagees residing as far away as our- selves have signified their willingness to march against the Czar. Whatever may be the value, ina military point of view, of an army thus recruited from all the oppressed nations of Eu- rope, it is certain that it will carry with it the sympathies of the whole civilized world. It can hardly be expected, however, to save Turkey. Even without alluding to the inevit- able prospects of dissensious in so hetorogene- ous a host as the Turkish army, the inexperi- ence of its leaders, and the financial embarrass- ments of the Porte, there is enough, in the po- | sition now occupied by the Russian troops, and in the high state of dicetsti~~ ektuu Uley ue of the nave peen brought, to render the i: in chaos, darkness and covfusion than the dis- banded whigs. The meeting of Congress, therefore, will be 8 meeting of factions, unorgan'zed and undis- ciplined, and with about as much cohesion and concord among them as among the cliques and factions of the party conventigns at Baltimore in 1852. In this view, the election of a Speaker will be an exceedingly perplexing and doubtful piece of business; and it will probably result as much to the astonishment of all the old wire- workers, scene-ehifters, and pipe-layers as the nomination of Gen. Pierce. Let us see. Among the candidates already mentioned for Speaker are Boyd (late Speaker) and Brecken- ridge of Kentucky, Disney of Ohio, Bayley and Bocock of Virginia, Orr of South Carolina, Phelps of Missouri, Cutting of New York, Houston of Alabama, Wright of Pennsylvania, Jones of Tennessee, and last, though not least, but looming up, “solitary and alone,” or ra- ther like Gulliver among the pigmies, is Thomas H. Benton of Missouri, All these are demo- crate, hard or soft, and of all stripes, from Van Buren free soilism to consolidated secessionism. There being no whig party there will be no whig candidates; but the seventy disbanded whigs of the House, in playing fast and loose, will make the game of the election very spicy. very amusing, very provoking, and exceedingly doubtful to all concerned. With a round democratic majority of one hundred members, it might be reasonably sup- posed that all the administration would have to do would be to order a caucus for the Satur- day night preceding the first Monday in De- cember, name its candidates for.Speaker, Clerk and Public Printer, and the work would be done. But the party is sohorribly cut up on the spoils and Cabinet, that it is doubtful whether the ad- ministration will run the perils of a caucus, or trust to the chances of a free squabble in the House. It is rumored that, as a last resort, and in order to get him off the floor, the youngsters of the House of all parties, may rally upon Benton ; and it is even said that thé adminis- tration will be content to accept Benton for Speaker, rather than have that terrible old butcher among the Goths and Vandals in their war upon the Cabinet. And why not? Is nef Benten a free soiler and a living relic of the Van Buren dynasty? If the Bourbons then gre to be restored, who so proper for the speaker- ship as Benton, the unwavering champion of Van Buren, in the height of his power and in the depth of his disgrace ? Among the outside influences operating upon the Speaker’s election, the bankers at Wash- ington will be worthy of attentiou. The con- tingent fund of the House, subject to the direc- tion of the Clerk, under the discretion of the Speaker, sometimes amounts to several hun- dred thousand dollars. Under the clerk McNulty, some two hundred thousand dollars cf this fund were farmed out for speculations in pork and bacon, and other staple articles, among his friends in Ohio; but when called for, the supplies were found wanting. Subsequently, we believe, this business was stopped, but not sufficiently to prevent the diversion of this con. tingent fund from the use of the Washington bankers. And when we bear in mind that members of Congress are frequently hard up, and that the Washington bankers and money lenders, in such cases, are charitable, we can form no opinion upon the Speakership till we learn who is the candidate of Corcoran & Riggs, of Latham & Co., and the other operators in such loans and discounts, and stock-jobbing with Congress and the executive departments, as have enriched the bankers and the exchange and lottery offices of Washington. eons wey to Ceneuta, Thos mnok Doth tha | old parties are substantially broken up. A contest tolerably certain. Fighting on Turk- | ish ground, the losses incidental to the war | will be borne by the Sultan’s subjects; and this consideration will go far to strengthen the antipathy with which we are led to believe the | Turkish government is now regarded in Mol- davia and Wallachia. Furthermore, the chances of war are almost invariably in favor of the in- | vader. Men fight desperately, it is true, for | their homes and their pative land; but it would | seem as though this desperate valor, often as it j leads to noble instances of individual daring, | was no match for the ardor of an assailant | thirsting for conquest, and flushed already with | the first tokens of success. How long the conflict may last, and under | what circumstances it may be brought toa | close, we can only conjecture on general | grounds. It is possible that no definite acts | will take place this winter. But, according to | all the probabilities before us, it would seem | more than likely that the fate of Turkey will be | decided before twelve months pass over. In | other words, we see every reason for supposing | that. before November. 1854, Russia will have consolidated her hold of the Provinces, and made such encroachments on Turkey proper as will require immediate action | on the part of the Western powers, We | have already stated what we expect that | action to be. Neither England nor France can afford to permit Russia to hold the whole of Western Europe. Nor can they venture upon nople, under the joint protectorate of ( Britain, France and Rus that their inte: them to they are its accomplishme war.

Vith the meeting of Congress we shall have another inauguration at Washington—not of a new President, but of a new epoch in the poli- tickl history of the country. The work will begin with the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives; and, unless judi- ciously followed up in a reconstruction of the Cabinet, and achange in their party policy, the restoration will override and vanquish the ad- ministration. The old party landmarks are broken up. Their work is accomplished—the distinctions between old whig and democratic measures and principles are destroyed, Beaten in every battle upon great national issues, the whig party, after a disastrous career of progressive demoralization, was, in the final struggle of last November, utterly destroyed. And the party in power, from its cumbersome propor- tions, its heterogenous materials, and, more than all, from the free soil Van Buren spoils policy of the Cabinet, is also broken to pieces, “The cohesive qualities of the public plunder” baye falled in thei ofice, and the late over | with our Northern abolitionists, is to break down new organization of parties throughout the country is inevitable. Congress must take the lead in it, and the first move must be upon the election of the Speaker of the House. Here is the proper opening for the first practical blow fora great national Union party. Consulting. then, the exigencies of the times, let the Union men of all parties, standing firmly upon the constitution and the integrity of the insti- tutions of the South as the key to the preserva- tion of the Union, rally upon a man for Speak- cr wlo, regardless of Cabinets and Cabinet pronunciamentoes, -will be ready for ac work against the treason of free soil abolition- ism. Let this be done, and a.great national Union party may be built up? before-the ad- journment of Congress. é The policy of England, in all her schemes of emancipation in the West Indies—in all her projects concerning the island of Cuba, Mexico. and Central America—in all her affilia- tions with Uncle Tom at Stratford House, and this Union, and destroy its commercial power. by “building a wall of fire’ around our slave- holding States: by exciting sectional agitation, and by driving the South to the last extremity separate confederacy. Such is the policy of England, and France and the Napoleon dynasty are associated with it. The tripartite corres- pondence furnishes sufficient proof of the fact. We must be prepared, then, to anticipate these | abolition and disunion schemes of England and France hy active measures. We should not wait to ward off this blow, but should take the field in the offensive. To this end the election of a proper Speaker hest importance. He appoints the committees which frame and give shape and direction to the acts and resolutions of Con- | wress. He controls the proceedings of the House, and his word gives a member the floor or puts him down. How important then to have just that sort of a Speaker who will give to the national Union sentiment ita rightfal ascendancy upon the committees of the House, and a full and fair hearing in its debates. With such a Speaker we shall soon he able to bring free soilism and abolition'sm, in a1 their disguises, to a practi- cal test of their true principles, in some bill or resolution for strengtheniag. against all our enemies, foreign and domestic, open or secret, the institution of Southern slavery, and the constitution of the Unioh. This is the question to which we are rapidly drifting. Shall the area of Southern slavery be extended or diminished? To extend it we still give to the South something like a balance of power for her self-protection in the Union. To diminish it, we drive the South to secession, and the Union is destroyed. Let the friends of the Union, then, take their stand in some bold and positive measures contemplating the strength- ening of the South, for the addition of one, two, or three slave States to the Union, in their pro- per order, to balance California and the per- spective States of Minnesota and Oregon. And let the first movement in this policy be the elec- tion of a proper Speaker of the Mouse of Repre- sen, atives, What say the Union men of all par- | ties? ‘ is of the b Judge Mason, of Virginia, appointed the new Minister to France, will leave, it is said, ina short time, in the steamer for Havre, on his way to Paris. Our accounts from Washington intimate that Mr. Sandford, the present Secretary of Lega- tion now in Paris, appointed by a former ad- ministration, will remain “in office for some months, in order to give lessons in diplomacy and French to the new Minister. After, Mr. Sandford shall have found Mr. Mason sufll- ciently aw fait in his mission, we understand that his place will be supplied by a young man, the son of Dudley Mann, our present Assistant Secretary of State. This gentleman, who is about twenty-two years of age, has been, it seems, well educated in the modern languages, and in some of the primary principles of diplo- macy ; but if he has imbibed some of the abo- litionist and socialist opinions of Dudley Mann, senior, it is possible that Louis Napoleon, in imitation of the Sardinian government, and in order to show his teeth to the United States, may withhold his confirmation’to the appoint- ment. A Apropos of the present Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Dudley Mann, This .gentle- man, it is well known, has passed some years in Europe, intimately associated with the republicans of France, and en- tertaining the same views with them on all political subjects. As an exemplifica- tion of his sentiments in that direction, we understand that on a letter of introduction from one of the leading abolitionists of the North, Horace Greeley, Mr. Mann procured the appointment of a small disciple of that school to one of the departments at Washington. This is a most singular fact in the secret his- tory of Washington appointments; the idea that an editor who has poured such abuse on the personal character and name of General Pierce during the election campaign, should have such influence in the Department of State and with the Assistant Secretary thereof, as to get one of his friends appointed to a fat office in the very administration and under the nose of the President. We have s good many more revelations to make in connection with Dudley Mann, his antecedents, his doctrines, his asso- ciates, his views, and his movements at Wash- ington. They will be very amusing and very interesting to the socialist aud abolitionist par- ties in the North. who are now paramount in the Department of State and in the other de- partments of the government. Resection or Forest1 By THE SakpintAn Go- VERNMENT.—According to all accounts, the Sar- diniin government has rejected Foresti—ap- pointed Consul to Genoa by the present Cabinet —on the ground that he was a revolutionist and an associate of Mazzini in the recent revolution- ary movement in the peninsula. We have rea- son to believe that the Spanish government will reject, for congenial reasons, the appointment of Mr. Soulé as American Minister to Madrid; and we should not be at all surprised if the Neapo- litan government were to reject Robert Dale Owen, on account of his socialist and extreme opinions, as developed during his career in this country. A curious question and discussion may spring up from these rejections, which will lead to some strange and remarkable develope- ments hereafter. Tue New York Heratp Guarp—Harmony Restorep.—A division into two companies of the New York Herald Guard—after the fashion of the New York democratic party—we found it our disagreeable duty to confess a few days ago. We are now gratified to state that our notice has been more effective than that of Gnuthria to Aallastan Daancan, boowuse, WOUC Guthrie's final card has only widened the breech into an impassable chasm between the two democratic factions, ours has had the effect of reuniting both companies of our guard into one homogeneous and harmonious organization. They have proved themselves good soldiers, by their sense of discipline. We commend their example to the attention of Gen. Pierce, the Cabinet, and the democratic party. Good. Ex-Conrrcror Broxson AND THE Mercuanrs.—The Demo- cratic State Committee las issued an address, which we publish in another column, relative to the remo: Collector Bronson.

The Lat Case of Training Childven for Crime —Mary Har pton, one of the children, who, for sume months past have been training for pickpockets,under the tulcion of the woman Adiele Butler, yesterday made an affid: in rela- tion to the matter, of which the following is @ copy :— Mary Hampton beiog sworn, deposed——That she resides with her parents at No. 30] Seventh stroet, and that she is acquaiuted with Adicle Butler, and also with her daughter, Genet Butler, and that at divers times durieg the last year the said Adiele Butler has advised and solicited Hier to accompany herself and her daughter, | with the character personified, | every word seems to contain a point, and every gesture is Manerax’s Ormns.—Maraniello”—one of the finest, if not the finest work of Auber—was performed last evening, for the first time for many years, in this city, It wase real noyelty, and we are happy to add that it was a com- plete success—the greatest Maretzek’s present company have ever achieved. We are much mistaken if it does not run longer than®ny of the operas that have been so long stereotyped on the bills. As most people are aware, the story ty partly taken from the history of the Neapolitan outbreak of 1647. Tommaso Aniello, whose name has been corrupted into Masaniello—a poor fisherman, full of fitful courage and talent, but possessing no solid claims to the first rank in his country—became for a while, the head of the govern- ment of Naples; soon to be hurled from his eminence by faults of his own, and to expiate his follies and his crimes with his life, With the ineidents of his career, Scribe and Delavigne, the authors of the original libretto, inter- wove a romantic plot, the principal figure of which is Fenella, Maganiello’s sister, a dumb girl, who saves the life of her seducer, Alfonso, and acts as the guardian angel of her brother throughout the piece, Fenella has always been s crack part on the Freneh stage, andghas established the reputation of more than one pantominist. It was taken last evening by Malle, Pougaud, and will have raised-ber artistic fame. Her rendering was intelli- gent and natural, The great difoulty in Fenella is to avoid the-exaggeration which pantomime so often re- quires. The young Neapolitan girl haa none of those violent bursts of passion which delight the heart and ex- ercise the imagination of dancers; she has always been dumb, and habit has tempered while intensifying the ex: pression of her gestures. This Pougaud appears to have un- derstood thoroughly. Her escape from prison was described with vivid accuracy; but there was no extravagance—no straining for effeet—none of those fears of being misun- derstood which are 80 commonly affected by pantomim- ists, The part was, in short, performed with taste. Masaniello is Salvi’s best character. With the single exception of his wonted improvements upon the com poser,every portion of his performance not only was above reproach, but merited high eulogiums, He had obviously studied the part consciertiously, and was in excellent verve, The barcarole, so well known by the English version, ‘Behold, the Morn is Breaking,’’ was as efiective as it could have been made; and the following duet with Pietro, (Beneventano,) i which the tyraats are denounced, was perfectly sung. He led the prayer, and contributed not a little to its success, and fairly brought the house down by his exquisitely rympathetic renderiug of the famous apostrophe to sleep. Through- out he acted with spirit, and seemed ha” lly the same man in whom we lave s0 often detected symptoms of decay. Salvi’s Masaniello is a thing to be seen. Madame Steffanone sang the ungrateful part of Elvira with considerable skill, We should not regard it as one well suited to her; but she availed herself of every oppor- tunity afforded by the music and gave tho great air of the first act very pleasingly. Gasparone, (Borella,) was likewise somewhat cramped by the exigencies of the opera; but we heard enough of his voice to like it, and saw enough of his acting to pronounce well of it, and to presume that some of these days he will fill a larger por- tion of our space, Beneventano, (Pietre,) is steadily im- proving. We have already alluded to the duet of tile se cond act; his share of the applause it elicited was fully equal to Salvi’s, The choruses were correct and spirited. As every one knows, they constitute the leading feature of ‘‘Masaniello,”’ and were given last evening in a style which rendered full justice to Auber. Altogether, ‘“Masaniello” isa hit. It is long since we have seen an opera so well got up in every respect. Those who have never heard it should make a point of going when it is next played; those who have heard it in Europe should visit Niblo’s, to see how we can produce such a work, Anderson at the Broadway Theatre. It isa popular cant in England that all the actors who visit this country return spoiled and vulgarized. We en- csurage them it seems‘in their faults, which, to suit our gross taste, become exaggerated and confirmed. The dainty London critic can detect, by the strung flavor that attaches to the deportment of an actor, for how mavy months he has been starring it in the States. John Bull regards America asa kind of moral Calcutta, where the constitution of 9 man’s mind and manners must neces. sarily be undermined by the impurity of our taste; and since artistic disorders of all kinds are te be caught here double pay barely indemnifies the adventurer for risking the contagion of our audience. A fair test of this ques. tion is afforded to us by the reappearance of Mr. Jame? Anderson, the tragedian, who left us fivs years ago, and during that period has been uxdergoing we presume, the process of purification before a London public.
