The Andes, from Liverpool, arrived at Boston yesterday morning, with Liverpool papers of the 14th ultimo and London and Paris news of the 13¢h, Although thee is nothing definite regardiog the ‘ultimate issue of the Eastern question, it would ap pear as if it were rapidly tending to a crisis. The British government had chartered thirteen steam ships for the conveyance of troops to Malta—amcng them ‘he Cunard steamer Niagara, which was to have Jeft Liverpool for Halifax and Boston on the 18th ult.—end the French fleet had sailed from Brest, wth orders to embark forces at Toulon, Algiers and Civita Vecchia for the East. It was expected that the Czar wou!d soon declare finally his course ef action, in a Nesselrode letter addressed to the ambassadors at Vienna. The period of forty days, which bad been agreed upon by the Sultan’s Cabi- met as that at which the Russian Empercr should declare his acceptanse or rejection of the last pro- positions of the Four Powers, expired on the Sth February, and the time fixed by the Admirals of the combined fleets at Constantinople as that at whieh the Russian ships should return to their har- bors in the Black Sea, had also expired. In the meantime the Russians had sixty-thousand men around Kalefat. The Emperor had ordered that the Turks be driven out of Lesser Walachia, and the Turkish troops had been defeated at Trogana, near Kalefat, and Giurgevo. Popuar feeling continued mnch excited in Italy. Lord Jobn Russell introdaced the new reform bil! into the English House of Commons on the Lith ultimo. From the commercial advices we gather that con | sols were rather heavy at London. The Liverpool cotton market was more active, at steady prices Breadstuffs were unaltered. The news produced bat very little effect on the New York markets for bread- stuffs. Flour fell cff 6jc. to 12hc. per barrel; com- mon State closed at $7 87 a $8, having previously reached its highest point, at $9 a $9 12, about one month or six weeks since. The Nashville is due at this port, with one day's later news. The Niagara beving been withdrawn from the Halifax and Boston line, and the screw steamer Andes substituted, it is uncertain when we aball receive the intelligence to leave on the 18th ult. We have received files of Bermuda papers to the 25th of February, with intelligence from St. Thoma to the 20th of the same month. The Bermnda jour na's look upon the “free list” portion of the pro posed new teriff of the United Stites with much favor, #0 far ag it relates to the importation of “fresh vegetables of all kinds,” the produce of that island. Eli Andrew, ® seaman on board the American ship Tenvessee, killed a comrade named Jozef Manuel, on the 19th ult Her Britannic Majesty's shipof- war Cumberland arrived at Bermuda on the 17th altimo, with Vice Admiral Sir George Seymour. Sir George did not land, however, but sailed next day for Halifax, inconsequence of receiving despatches from England. The papers state that this move- ment is rendered necessary by the altered state of affairs in Europe. ceed Sir George in the command of the North American and West Indian station; and we are told by the Royal Gazette that he will have a fleet capa ble of meeting any letter of marque vessels which may appear in the waters where he keeps guard. Disease had disappeared from St. Thomas. Nine hundred persons had died of the cholera at Nevis during the visit of the epilemic. The weather at Bermuda was cold, but pleasant. As usual on the opening of the United States Senate now-a days, many petitions against the adoo- tion of the Nebraska bill were presented yesterday morning. The signers of these documents are evi- dently determired to make up in fuss acd noise what they lack in numerical strength. The gen erality of these petitions have bat few signers; and when one happens to contain four or five hundred or &@ thousand signatures, even though half of them are the names of females, especial pains are taken to spread the fact throughout ihe conatry by telegray ‘The Senate passed a bill making Lakeport, Ls., a port of delivery. pay Mr, Young for his services io investigating the charges against Gov.

The temperance question was permitted to slamber in the Senate yesterday. Unless positive action i® soon had on this measure, it will be defeated by the procrastination of its immediate friends. While the Germans in this city, of whore t-an- sactions we elsewhere give a report, and the free soilers and abolitionists throughout the North, are holding meetings in opposition to allowing the p2o- ple of Nebraska the right of constracting laws for their self government, a delegation of Indians from that Terri:ory are ia Washington, makiog arrapge- ments to vacate their lands, A preliminary meeting of the officers who served in the Mexican caw vaign was held last evenivg, for the purpose of laying before Congress the propriety of granting them double rations while in that ser- vice.

The Nebraska Agitation—Gathering Ele | ments of Discord and Disunion, | Pliny, the Roman historian of that fierce | eruption of Vesuvius, which overwhelmed and | Pompeii, has given usa graphic description of the trembling of the earth, the atrange commo- tion of the sea, the thick and lurid atmosphere, the horrid noises, and the lightuings that flick- ered through the murky air immediately pre- ceding the crowning disaster. Scarcely less significant and startling are the premonitory symptoms touching this Nebraska agitation of a fierce political convulsion, which may eventu- | ally overwhelm our beneficent institutions, our beautifully adjusted constitution, and our glo-.| rious Union of sovercign States, in one common | ruin of wild disorder, anarchy and civil war. | | When, a few weeks ago, we predicted this re- | opening of the slavery agitation in a more vio- | lent shape than ever yet experienced, we were | | searcely prepared for the startling rapidity | with which it has come upon us. A few weeks | ago and the anti-slavery sentiment of the | North was in a state of almost hope- less torpidity. True, the nightly rehearsals of Uncle Tom’s Cabin at several of our metropolitan theatres were maintained ; but otherwise. even Uncle Tom’s trials and tri- bulations had faded away into a dimly remem- vered fiction. There had not for some time occurred the happy accident of a Northern mob for the rescue of a fugitive slave, to sharpen the dexdened sensibilities of our negro-loving phi- | lanthropisis. They had nothing to fasten upon, | but they were waiting the movement of the wa- | ters; where the administration at Washington kindly stepped in to their relief. The Nebraska | billis thrown into the Senate, and instantly, starting up like the clansmen of Rhoderick Dhu, trom every hole and corner, an army of agita- tors are in the fleld, and all the North isin a blaze. The scheme intended torestore General Pierce and his free soil Cabinet to the confi- | deuce of the national democracy, threatens, in the very outset, the destruction of the adminis- tration, aud all the old political parties of the | | day; and in the end, a war between Southern | secessionists and Northern free soilers and abo- | litionists, which, if not timely arrested by the | | uprising Union sentiment of the whole country, can only be solved in a dissolution of the | Union. When we find Wendell Phillips “cursing | the country and the Union” because of the | institution of slavery; and when such ex- | pressions of open-mouthed treason are re- | ceived with “great applause” by a New | York sudience, in the heart of Broadway ; when we have it announced that Stephen | A. Douglas has been hung in effigy in Boston; and when resolutions are adopted in every | quarter of the North, to “ resist this Nebraska | frand to the last extremity | Gen. Pieree, like King Saul, has only raised | the ghost of Samucl to pronounce upon the de- | struction of his administration and his house. Ah! do we not in all this realize the paramount obligations ofa steady adhesion to principles, instead of Marey’s policy of the spoils? Had Gen Pi in the beginning of his career, planted himself firmly upon the Union prin- ciples which brought him into power—had be | scouted the suicidal policy of democratic har- mony by 2 fasion of free soilers and secession- | | | ists upon the basis of the pablic pluader—had he identified himeelf with the Union sentiment aad the national Union men of the whole coun- tay, there would have been no necessity for this lesperate expedient of Nebraska to lift him and jhis Cabinet trom the slough of free soilism into which they have fallen.

The ex- periment will prove a failure in this respect; while on the other hand the agitation which it has excited menaces not orly the peace but the safety of the Union itself. Yet, as the question has been raised, the question must be settled. There will be no peace—there can be no peace. final settlement of the coutroversy by turning it out of Congress, and into the hands of the people, and the States, where it belongs. We have our fears concerning this Nebraska agita- tion. It is violent, wide-spread, and unyielding. Shorn of its moral power, the administration can do nothing to arreet this wild fanatical ex- citement. The ovly hope is in that strong Union-loving sentiment which pervades the honest masses of the American people. They may delay their action till it is too late. The elder Pliny, in his quiet observations of the agi. tation of Vesuvius, disregarded his danger, and was lost.

He says in his last Citizen that, ‘considered as a religion, we may not bring ourselves to dis- parage or speak dirrespectfully of Catholicism, We believe it to be the only form of Christian- ity that has now much vitality or power.” This is a good beginning. We next expect to find the Citizen, in behalf of the ‘trae chureb,” cutting under the Freeman’s Journal, and frightening poor McMasters out of his boots, if not'out of his place. Now, we think that if Archbishop Hughes would call upon Mr. Mitchel, and have a good long confidential chat with him, something might be done. The pre- scribed and cooling diet of soup, fish, and vege- tables, during Lent—forty days and forty nights—would unquestionably render the exile perfectly tractable. We call. upon our venerable Archbishop, therefore, to return to his dioecss, to visit John Mitchel, and give him @ vocation, and baptize him into the true faith, and diet him and quiet him. Catrrorxia Goin Cror.—We published the other day a highly interesting letter from Cali- fornia, setting forth the rapid exhaustion of the gold washings of the California placers. Our correspondent says that the best portions of “the diggins” have been worked over several times—that the cream has been skimmed off, and that the mines will soon be reduced to the blue milk of the wet and the dry diggings. In support of these statements he refers to the diminished shipmegts from San Francisco for the last two or three months. That fact, of it- eelf, however, signifies nothing. The gold placers during the winter season are, to a great extent, covered with snow—mining oper- ations are proportionably suspended. But with the rains and floods of spring, which com- mence in California in February, we may ex- pect a renewal of the work, and new discoveries from the new washings made by the rains. If these fail to bring up each steamer to the maxi- mum of two millions, we may conclude that the California loose dust is not inexhaustible, What will be the consequences if those gold mines should prove to be nearly worked out? A general financial explosion like that of 1837? Just so, but upon a larger and grander scale. the point of an explosion before the quiet, Union- loving masses are aware of it. In connection with an administration powerless for avything but mischief, we contempim.e the daily deve- lopements around us with the gloomiest forebod- ings, And these are the early fruits of the unholy coalition at Washington of Northern and Southern disunionists upon the platform of the spoils. Who cam predict the ead of the har- vest, with such an auspicious beginning? Another Arrival from Europe=-Latest As- pect of the Europe. n Question. The mews brought by the Andes rather con- firms than alters the favorable impressions ereated by the last ndvices fram Europe. The reports which qualified the fiilure of Count Orlofi’s mission. by the statement that ‘he bore back with him to St. Petersburg conditional promises on the part of the Austrian cabinet have received official denial in a declaration made by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the 13th ult. that the objects of the mission had completely failed, and that the government had no reason to feel dissatished with its results. Nothing, however, has trans- pired with respect to the nature of the modified project presented by the Russian envoy on the rejection of his first proposition, and we may assume, from the prompt fate which it met with, that it varied but little from the haughty character of his previous demands. It is satisfactory to receive through an official source the confirmation of the im- portant fact that the Austrian government continues firm in the course which the exag- gerated pretensions of the Czar have decided ner to take. On its resolute adherence to that policy depend the chances of peace, or at all events, of a speedy solution by war of the difficulty. Had Nicholas succeeded in detach- ing Austria and Prussia from their coalition with the Western Powers, there is no foresee- | ing what would have been the final issue of | the contest.
