She certaini/y could not have experienced the weather that favored the clipper ship Dreadnaught, else she would have been here. The D, it will be seen on reference to the proper head, made the run from Liverpool to this port in nineteen days, being one of the quickest trips on recoré, and especially remarkable at this season of the year. The clipper ship Red Jacket, it will also be remembered, made the run from this city to Liver- pool, a few weeks ago, ia the unparalleled time of thirteen days one hour und twenty-five minutes. It would {pus appear that while the generality of ves sels bave been detained by the tempestuous weather that has of Jate prevailed on the Atlantic, others have been propelled at a rate that has astonished everybody. The Europa wi'l doubtless arrive in sea- sen to enable us to insert her news in to-morrow’s paper. Her advices, which will furnish more defi- nite information relative to the war, are looked for with the most intense anxiety, particularly by com- mercial classes, as is evidenced by the fluctuations in the breadstuff and the provision markets. Acczunts of numerous marine disasters during the late uppropitious weather were received yesterday, ani will be found recorded in detail elsewhere. The ship Cornelius Grinnell has arrived with the crews of the ship Columbiana and British bark Frederick, both of which vessels were abandoned in a sinking condition. The schooners H. F. Sparks aud Major Ringgold were also recently abandoned. The sohooner W.F. Baird yesterday came in contact with the clipper sbip Phenix, and was sunk, An unknowr bark was seen ashore on Cuttyhunk on Taursday,and a large number of small vessels are reported ashore in the vicinity of Sandy Hook. Half the crew of the ship Nightingale, which reached Boston yesterday, were frost bitten. No doubt the list of calamities will be greatly angmented before many days, for nearly every vessel that has lately arrived reports ia- tensely cold weather, combined with terrific gales and blinding snow storms. Captain Fletcher, of the Cornelius Grinnell, declares the last to have been the roughest passage he ever made. @BA despatch from Washington states that tho British and French Ministers on Thursday cMed upon Secretary Marcy, for the purpose of protesting against the fitting out of Russian privateera ia this country. It is also understood that they informed the Secretary that such vessels would be treated as pirates by their respective governments. We have commented upon the ramors respecting privateers in ‘an editorial article, t» which'reference is made for all essential information concerning the matter. The United States Senate was again flooded with remonstrances against the proposed repeal of the Missouri compromise act yesterday. Among the documents was one signed by Mrs. Uncle Tom Btowe and some twenty-two hundred persons, pre- cisely half of them males, belonging to Massachu- setts. These people, who are perfectly williag that Congress should legielate slavery out of all Territo- ries, deny that the same body has the right to per mit the inhabitants of said Territories to devise and execute such laws as they may deem beneficial to their own interests. One thing is particularly wor- thy of notice: while the generality of the people, through their silenc2, gire acquies- cence to the measure before Congress, the free-soilers are vainly endeavoring to create fan excitement, and otherwise doing their ut- most to defeatit. The sober-minded reader cannot have failed to observe that nearly ali the opposition comes from quarters that have been long noted for the rapk abolitionism of their inhabitants—vide the meeting in Aubura, Mr. Seward’s home, in Boston, in Hartford last evening, &c. By the way, we per. ceive by a despatch that John M. Botts has been @rawn into a controversy with a Virginian edilor on this subject. When the Senate took up the Nebraska bill yes: terday Judge Douglas remarked that he should next Wedoesday move to close the debate and proceed to vote upon the question. Mr. Chase thereupon gave notification of the intention of his party to prevent final action as long as possible by moving amend- ments. He had several to offer himself. In this way the free soilers hope to ultimately Cefeat the bill. Mr. Hunter afterwards delivered an elaborate speech in favor of the measure, aad it was fol- lowed by Mr. Butler in reply to Mr. Seward and his associstes. In the course of the day Mr. Walker, the chief leader of the land reform ers, reported a bili for the extension of the p:e- emption act, and remarked that it would probably superse’e and render useless the free farm bill now pending in the House. The proper committee made greport honorably exonerating Governor Ramsey from ‘he charges against him relative w his manage ment of Indian affsire. An tnusually spicy debate sprang up in the Honse of Representatives yesterday, on a report from the Land Committee granting cor rome of the States that have t fixteenth section, to which pears thet the gentlemen belonging to this com mittee, one ager anoter ports are called for, aad thus © they are en of the House, to the almost ent business the other committecs 1 forward, It ried that there private eplendar no jess than one reven agplicstidns for railroad lands, which the free farm bill, and other projects ava an opportunity to be brought up, would, if passed soon, relieve tue government of every acre © couse as‘lelogate'from New Mexico, he bavirsg recsived a | tite treaty, whdrein the cabinets of England targe majority over William Carr “Jane, the con- testant.

Appropriate-ealogies | were deMvered on the late Gen, Armstroug, priater to the House, and then the body adjourned ‘till -Mondey. ‘The proceeedings iv our State Legislature, as well asthe other master to be found under the head of “ Albany Affairs,” will be read with great interest by our citizeos generally. 1; will be seen that se- weral bills of im nediate importance to New Yorkers are cow awaiting decision in both the Senate and Assembly. The attention ef the former body was mostly ocevpicd with the debate on the temperaace bill as newly reported. The galleries are represented to have been crowded with anxious spectators, and the prospect is that while the Senators are able to secure listevers te their rhetoric they will prolong the discussion to the latest moment. In order that the people may properly un jeratand both sides of the question, we today publish the minority report of the Legislative Committee upon Harbor Encroachments. Owing to the opposition of aul France‘preposed ta, the United States that each of the three contracting parties should ‘unite in'ajvint declaration to each other never to appropriate, or to attempt to appropriate to itself.\the beautiful island of Cuba; but that, under*this triple alliance, the separate sover- eignty and allegiance of Cuba should forever be maiatained. Mr. Everett, as our Secretary vof State, very properly rejected these friendly overtures promptly and decisively; and, with equal honesty and candor, confessed that it was beyond the power and opposed to the policy of our government to make the sacrifice demanded of our claims and expectations conceraing the { aforesaid beautiful and important island of | Cuba. There that matt+r rested; but the sub- sequent confidential disclosures of Mr. Rives to Secretary Marcy prove that our refusal to en- ter into this ‘Missouri restriction” of England apd France has only knit those two Powers more closely together to enforce our obser- vance of the interdict. The last letter of Lord John Russell upon this subject. in reply to Mr. Everett’s rejection of the proposed tripartite compromise, very flatly forewarns him of the folly of any designs on our part upon Cuba, from the compact still unbroken between France our neighbors of Brooklyn to any law that will pre- yent the encroachments upon our harbor, to the great detriment of navigation, the subject is fast usrrowing down to an actual issue between tha two cities. The demoerats of Ohio have not yet scceeded in fixing upon a candidate for the United States Senate in place of Mr. Chase. The democratic members of the Legislature ballotted all Thursday night witbout accomplishing anything. The leading can- didates are Messrs. Bartley and Allen. The State Senate of New Jersey has passed a bill extending the charter of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company for thirty five years. The House has referred the matter to a special commi'tes. The Senate of Rhode Island has adopted a bill, by a majority of one vote, reversing the sentence psssed upon Thomas W. Dorr, the leader of the Algerine war in that State, some ten years ago. Ty By an article in another column, it will be sedh , that Major James M. Gatewood, who was sent out by the government to treat with the Indians of Nebras- ka for a portion of their lands, had arrived in St- Louis on the 18th inst., en route for Washington, with a delegation of sixteen of the aborigines, four- teen of whom were chiefs. He ha: succeeded in effecting treaties with two of the tribes—the Omahas and the Ottoes—by which nearly eleven millions of acres of Jand bordering on the States of Missouri and Towa,are ceded to the government, for whish the two tribes are to receive the sum of fifty-two thousand dollars avpuslly for the term of thirty years. By these treaties nearly one-half of the whole Indian country is ceded to the government, and they now only await their ratification by the authorities at Washington, when the territory embraced withia the limits designated will be open for settlement. Th> land which the treaties cover is said to be the best and most arable in the whole Indian reservation, and ovly needs the axe of the pioneer and the indastry of the huebandman to tarn the forests of Katsas ani Nebrsska into productive farms. It will be recol- lected that the perfecting of these’treaties, when tirst announced, wa3 cemi-officially contradicted at Wash- ington; but we presume when Major Gatewood ar- rives at the seat of government, with his documents and living witnesses, the eyes of the incredulous will be open to the fact, and the bill for the new Territo- tial organization will receive prompt action by our national legislators. A baggage master on the New Haven and Spriog- fleld Railroad is reported to have been arrested at New Haven, by a special post office agent, last vight, on a charge of robbing the mails. He is sap posed to bave abstracted over a hundred thousand dollare. Oar regular files of Kingston (Jam.) journals were delivered yesterday. The dates are to the 11th inst We do not find any intelligence of public interest ia the papers, The attention of the Legislature and Board of Council was directed to the enacting of measures of local reform, and to the maturing of a more equitable plan of government finances and public taxation than that now in forc> on the island. Many of the pagers looked upon the importation of Chinese laborers favorably. The Bishop of Jamaica received a severe injury by reason of his horse fall- ing under him when he was riding on a tour of con- firmation. The Military Court of Inquiry relative to the wreck of the San Fransisco concluded its sessions yesterday. The final decision of the Court w'll not be made known until some future day. We give a very full report of the proceedings, together with the statement of Colonel Gates, which, though an elaborate document, will doubtless be read with interest. The Universal Republicans of this city yesterday celebrated the anniversary of the French republic in grand style. We elsewhere publish a graphic re port of the ceremonies, together with ths speeches of Gen. Avezzani and other orators on the occasion. Brooklyn was visited by two very destructive fires yesterday, at one of which a vensrable man, Mr. Spencer, was burned to death. Both fires are sup- posed to have been the work of incendiaries.

The American Continent--The Balance of Power- French and Engitsh Alllance— What Is Our Poilcy? On the return home of Mr. Rives, our late Minister at Paris, after an official residence of several years in the French capital, he called asin duty bound, to report progress to the bead of the State Department at Washington. On this important visi: he represented to Secre- tary Marey that be had duly advised the go- vernment, from time to time, of his official transactions abroad, and of the progress made towards a valuable treaty of commercial re- ciprocities with the French government; buthe also stated that he had reserved for this pec sonal interview information of a confidential character, of which it was very important our administration should be fally advised. Mr, Rives, accordingly, as we understand, proceeded to state clearly and minutely the substance of several conversations he had had with Louis Napoleon on Americin affatrs. the result of which was a fixed conviction on the part of our ex-Minister of a firm and intimate alliance between France and England against the policy of the United States, known as the policy of “manifest des- In other words, this Anglo-J'rench ce contemplated the maintenance of a an balance of power oa this continent military aod commercial, by arresting the sup posed designe of the United States agatast the Island of Caba, and other islaads and territo ries commanding the Gulf of Mextoo To this end Mr. Rives expressed. his belief that this d, when it comprehe ted exped ym nt of “ 1 military fore words, he Mr. M taud that, mnder a del ne two nations rey to nnder- ment be- oa of the ets and armies of Eaglaad arrest Neersst ntial statement of Mr aetod We the om avd England. Still later evidence upon this point is not wanting. It is quite possible that the late di- plomatic disturbances at Madrid may be traced beyond their alleged origin at the ball of the Marquis de Turgot—quite possible that certain jealousies and apprehensions excited concera- ing the political antecedents, associations, pro- clivities, and designs of Mr. Soulé and the administration at Washington, may have been at the bottom of this diplomatic imbroglio. Leaving this matter to pass for its current valine in the interim, we are quite willing to rest its ultimate solution with the final issue of Mr. Soulé’s official sojourn at Madrid. The following. extract from the speech of Lord Clarendon on the opening of Parliament, on the 31st January, is in itself perfectly con- clusive in establishing the correctness of the re- presentations of Mr. Rives to our Premier. In the course of his speech, developing the general policy of the British cabinet at this crisis, Lord Clarendon said :-— Aud, let mo add, that tonest policy of the Freach gov Prog ent bas dean most fattbfaily repreaeated here by toe French Awbagsador at our court, (ear, hea-.)

Now, the question arises, what has been and what is the policy of the present administration touching the balance of power upon the Ameri- can continent? Thus far the official transac- tions of our legations at London, Paris, Madrid and elsewhere, have been limited to petty and ridiculous squabbles upon costume ; thus far, it appears, the administration is satisfied to take things as they come. When Mr. Rives made his confidential exposition of the policy of England and Franee upon American affairs, our Premier was too much occupied in the dis- tribution of “the spoils’ among his free soil allies of the North to pay much attention to other subjects; and Mr. Marcy, for months after, had too many irons in the fire, too many con- flictiog claims for the plunder upon his hands, to think seriously of the budget of Mr. Rivea. But now, the plunder being substantially divided to his satisfaction, we may ask of the Secretary of State, what is the policy of the ad- micistration? Lord Clarendon boldly an- nounces in Parliament that England and France have not only united to settle the affairs of Europe, but that they are as cordially joined in everything-relating to all other quarters of the world, including the whole American hemis- phere; and that in everything there is “entire harmony” between the government of Louis Nepoleon and that of Queen Victoria. * How contemptible, how paltry and humili- ating these petty little squabbles of our Euro- pean diplomats upon coats and breeches appear, when England and France are not only shaping out the destinies of the European nations, but the limits of our territorial expansion at the line of demarcation beyond which, in the Gulf of Mexico, we must he subject to the decrees of those two great European Powers. But a few months ago the Cabinet organ at Washington was thundering away the fulminations of the government concerning the rumored “African- ization of Cuba” under British management. Then formal notice was given that Gen. Pierce would never permit the British to carry out their abolition projectsin Cuba. That innocent gentleman, Mr. Crampton, the British Minister at Washington, was much annoyed at these warlike threatenings, and is said to have com- plained of them and their false allegations to the Secretary of State. He must have been surprised at the suddenness with which this Cuban agitation was dropped when the more important issues of the public plunder of Con- gress intervened. Mr. Crampton has since dis covered, no doubt, that the Cabinet agitation of the “Africanization of Cuba” was but a sham, and a scarecrow to divert public attention from the Bronson squabble, and to arrest a complete break-up of the democratic party. We have here, however, presented the Cuba question and the demand for the Monroe doc- trine in a practical shape. The European balance of power is to be retained on this con- tinent, through the Gulf of Mexico, by an Anglo-French alliance, the two Powers moving together for common objects in‘“entire harmony.” Will the Cabinet organ,therefore, be good enough to answer, for the public benefit—Is our Euro- pean diplomacy limited to coats and breeches and the spoils? Does the administration stand by the Monroe doctrine, or any other doctrine? And what are our prospects, a year ago so very promising. what are they now for either the peaceable or warlike acquisition of Cuba? Is cur spoils-loving administration still asleep, when all the world is awake and in arms? Is the policy of the Cabinet, foreign as well as do- mestic, finished with the distribution of the spoils? Are the destinies of America quietly given over to England and France? Finally have we anything or nothing to expect from the foreign policy ot Gen. Pierce but diplomatic squabbles upon coats and breeches? Are we to have notbiog more? MERY OF THE ApwtNisTRaTION.—It is g lly ramored that the Nebraska bill will be - defeated in the Honse through the treachery of the administration and its supporters, It is well understood that the course of the Unionin sup- pert'ng the bill and denouncing thore who op- South, and that when the time comes, its tone will be changed. All the Northern organs and office holders in the North are opposed to the bill. The Evening Post, the Albany -4tlas, the Buffalo Republic, vie with each ‘other in the fury of their attacks upon it. At Albany, the followers of Van Buren combined with the supporters of William H. Seward to carry re- solutions protesting against it. In Tammany Hall, sufficient influence has been exercised by men who are known to be hand and glove with the administration. to prevent the adoption of anything like a frank endorsation of the mea- sure. The Collector of this Port, the nominee of Mr. Marcy, and the especial favorite of the Cabinet. bestows all his patronage on a Seward organ that is decidedly hostile to the bill. When these facts are coupled with the free soil aud anti-slavery antecedents of Pierce, Marcy, avd Cushing. with the fraud by means of which the President was nominated and elected, with his subsequent treachery to his friends, no one can have any confidence in the good faith of the administration, or believe that, ia the hour of need, they will really give substantial aid to the Nebraska measure. ~ Tue Privateers aT THE Astor Hovse.— There is aclass of small newspapers in this coun- try, of hybrid origin and questionable political sympathies, that endeavors to struggle into no- toriety by arts that no well principled jouraal- &t would stoop to employ. The organs of foreign cliques and foreign governments, alien alike to the spirit of our institutions and our people, they may be regarded as literary exot- ics, which can never strike firm root iu the American soil. Unable to grapple with the great political questions that occupy the atten- tion of our community, they generally take ground on side issues of little real importance, or seek to attract attention by crying “wolf,” when no ground for apprehension exists. Dis- coverers of mare’s nests and chroniclers of small beer, they not only start the chase, but they hunt it to death. . If it was not their in- terest to be credulous we should look upon them as fools, for they exhibit the strongest characteristic of folly by a wilful perseverance in error. To reason with or endeavor to con- vince minds like these would be only so much time thrown away, for they are tickled into ecstacies by anything like serious notice, and become only the more obstinately confirmed in their delusions. An amusing instance of this self-important and exaggerating tendency has been afforded in the attempt made by the Courrier des Etats Unis to raise a controversy in support of the statement, which it published a few days since, with respect to the supposed secret objects of the three Russian officers who have been sent over to this country to superiatend the con- struction of the line of battle ship ordered by the Emperor of Mr. Webb. Connecting the arrival of these gentlemen with the ra production vf the correspondence of Mr. Gaillardet of a rumor originated in the English journals, that it was in contemplation to fit ont Russian privateers in our ports, our sagacious cotemporary at once jumped to the conclusion that the project was in actual pro- cess of execution, and that we were on the eve of being embroiled with the Western Powers. Had a spent bombshell fallen amongst us it could not have created greater consternation than did this important revelation. It was of course followed by a decline in public securi- ties, and an immediate rise in the Courrier’s circulation. Three additional copies of the pa- per were immediately sold on the strength of it, and since then a continual interchange of telegraphic communications has been ex- changed between the Foreign office and Mr. Lasalle. The startling announcement published by the Courrier has, it appears, not only thrown the Foreign Office into confusion, but it has also disturbed the domestic relations of one of our principal hotels. At the Astor House, where the Russian-officers were staying, the whole order of things in that well regulated establishment is upset, all foreigners being looked upon with suspicion, and treated by the ladies as—privateers.. Although the gentlemen in question have left on a visit to the Ports- mouth navy yard, it is difficult to calm the susceptibilities that have been aroused by the report that they are still inmates of the house. One hears nothing on every side but inquiries as to which is Mr. Grumwald and which Mr. Sockoloff? So much for attempting to sail under fulse colors, Martry Van Buren Turntye Catnoric—A New Movs ror tux Prestpency.—We take the following paragraph from the Freeman’s Jour- nal. It is an extract from a letter ‘written by a well known Catholic gentleman of this city,” dated Rome, Jan. 12,1854. Read :— A few eveninze since | attended « sot: ce at the residence of Mr, Cars, our Charge d’Affaires The patty ©as parely Americep, avd given as @ comp'iment to ex Prasident Ven Boren, who sas heen residing fo Roms for some tine.

Ae has bad teveral c:o’erences with Ca:dinal Wiseman, who is alto here, end it is net unlikely that Mr. Vao Buren may decome a convert. This is news—great news; and it will be startling news to the politicians, Martin Van Buren must be “inquiring very earnestly into the Catholic religion,” or why these ‘‘con- ferences with Cardinal Wiseman?” But we think we can eee through this religious move- ment of the “Little Magician.” It is a political thing, and can be intended for no other object than to catch the Catholic vote of this country. Our venerable ex-President has, in all proba- bility, been informed by his correspondents in the United States that the old parties here—ad- ministration and all—are substantially broken up and scattered to the winds, and that there must be inevitably a general scrub race for the Presidency in 1856. Acting upon this information, the ex-President at Rome has, perhaps, resolved that he has exhausted his capital stock in free soil, but may make “a palpable hit ” on the religious question. If, there- fore, he returns to the United States a good Catholic, we may expect, in 1856, to-see some such ticket as this in the field :— INDEPENDENT CATHOLIC TICKET, For Prestfenr...... . Ex Presicent Matia Ven Buren For Vico Precident Acoubiscop Haghea Perhaps, however, from his conferences with Cardinal Wiseman, our worthy ex-President may have been ecriously impressed with the weight of his sins and the necessity of repen- tance and absolution before leaving the holy city of Rome; and possibly, when this is done, he may never return to his native lind at all, but, shutting himself up in some monastery, he may seek to atone in sackcloth and ashes, and in constant prayer, for hie sins and transgres sions, and especially the iniquities of the Buffalo ticket and the Buffalo platform.

The dance was annonrced earlier than usual, and the Opening quacrilles, polka, polka redowa, schottisshe aod recowa, were mainly participated in by the children, of whom about one hundred were present in fansy costume.

We hai almost brougst our- selves to believe that there were no children, acd we cannot express our gratitu¢e to M and Mme. Ferrero for Proving to us that such pleasant affaira as youthfal matvele and childlike innocence are not yet qaite igacred in Jashionable circles. Some of the children deserve especial notice. Master Reynolds appeared in the fall uniform o the Continental army—bag-wig and all. It was perfec: as far as it went, and it “went his lenzth”—shoat two feet. Then there were two very pretty children dressed as “Cherry” and “Fair Sir”? (G-eek Islands oostcms) Master Lyle, though the smallest Light Guard we ever saw, was a credit to the corps. He wore his aniform like ‘a soldier, and went through the dance like a javenile gen- tleman, as we have no doubt he is. Mlls. Louise Forrere, 8 peasant of the Louis XIV. style, looked charmingly, as the costume, ete., was admirab'y sulted to her con plexion and contour of faceand figare. All the children Jooked well, and in no instance among them did we no- tice any fault either in the costume or the maaner of wearing it.
