Simultaneously with the gathering of the friends of the Nebraska-Kansas bill in Tammany Hall ‘last night, of whose proceedings we elsewhere pub- lish a very full report, about five hundred of the opponents of the measure assembled in the Athie- neum, Brooklyn. The audience at the latter place seemed to think that the speeches were too lengthy, for, after H. W. Beecher’s address, most of the people present left, without waiting until the resolutions were adopted. The latest despatch relative to the election held in New Hampshire on Tuesday states that all but about twenty small towns have been heard from, ‘and that the poll shows a net democratic loss on the gubernatorial vote of last year of over thirty-three Bundred. The administration party have thus far retarned only one hundred and twenty-seven mem- bers of the House, while the opposition have elected ‘one hundred and forty-five members. The Black Warrior affair formed the great and exciting topic of debate in the House of Representa- tives yesterday. Mr. Giddings, the Ohio abolitionist, moved a reconsideration of the vote by which the President's message was on the day previous referred ‘tothe Committee on Foreign Affairs, and, upon the strength of that motion, proceeded to make a most violent, abusive and traitorous speech in defence of the Spanish outrage and against all those who may feel disposed to resent it. He was replied to by Mr. Bayly, chairman of the committee, and others, from the spirit of whose remarks, as well as the tenor of a private despatch, it is inferred that Con- gress intends to adopt such measures as will fully come up to the expectations of the great mass of our indignant countrymen. It is understood that the foreign committee are not as yet prepared toreport, for the reason that the outrages have of Jate been so numerous and the documents relating thereto are so voluminous, that the committee have not had time to give them a thorough examination. The afternoon was devoted to the consideration of the new deficiency bill. The Senate yesterday disposed of the con- troversy respecting Mr. Phelps’ right to a seat as ‘Benator from Vermont, he having been appointed by the Governor prior to the last Legislature, which adjourned without electing a successor. It was de- #ided that Mr. P. should vacate by a vote of twelve to twenty-six. No other business ‘of moment was ‘transacted. ‘We learn from Albany that the committee of the Benate yesterday reported that the charges prefer- red against State Prison Inspector Clark are mat- ters only worthy the cognizance of the Governor. However, the preliminary investigations now going on by our legislators, with regard to the con- duct of past and present State officers, pro- mise to afford some singular developements ‘before they are finally closed. There is nothing like an occasional change in the political complexion of both our national and State legislative and ad- ‘Ministrative representatives. Upon re-admission to power the members generally go into an examina- tion of the proceedings of their predecessors, and when they succeed in finding a gross error they are pretty sure to make the most of it. The Senate spent considerable time in Committee of the Whole on the bill to prevent further encroachments on our harbor. The Temperance bill was reported in the Assembly, with an amendment striking out Decem ber as the time when the act shall go into effect, and inserting May. The subject was made the special order for this afternoon. Much other busi- mess was disposed of, to which it is unnecessary to Tefer in detail. ‘The know-nothing candidate for Mayor, has been. elected in Salem, by a large majority over the whig nominee. A grand public reception was yesterday given to ex-President Fillmore by the authorities and citi- zens of Louisville. After having been escorted through the principal streets and partaken of din- ner he proceeded on his way to the South. The steamship Washington arrived last night, with the details of four days news from Europe, the principal features of which were furnished yesterday in the telegraphic synopsis received by the Arabia, via Halifax. We, however, publish the particulars of the insurrection im Spain, together with an article from the London Times on the war question, &c., all which will be found worthy of perusal. The semi-official an- nouncement in the Times shows that England and France had taken the last step prior to declaring war against Russia—they had despatched couriers to St. Petersburg with an address formally notifying the Czar that he must either back out from the Principalities or fight. ‘The commercial advices brought by the steamship Asia had quite a depressing effect on breadstuffs yesterday. Flour declined from two to three shil- lings per barrel, and common brands of straight sold at $731ja$%750. Corn receded about six cents per bushel, and there was nothing done in wheat to indicate a market? Cotton was firm, with sales of 4,268 bales, Let us add a few words of cau- tion to business men generally and dealers in bread- staffs particularly: Simultaneously with our morn- ing cotemporaries we last Wednesday published in our evening edition, and also placed on our bulletin pers to December 6th. later dates had previously reeched as, Some excitement has been produced in Canada by the circulation of arumor that the Russian govern- ment contemplated invading the provinces, and with that object in view was now concentrating troops im this country. The strangest part of the affair is ‘that any sane person could be induced to credit such a ridiculous story. * A despatch from Louisville states that twenty-two of the persons injured by the explosion of the steam- er Reindeer have died, and that twenty-four others are not expected to recover. Friend ‘Humphrey, a prominent citizen of Albany, died in that place on Wednesday night, aged seven- ty-seven years. He was the architect of his own for- tune, ‘having risen from a tanner’s apprentice to plications, nothing can permanently arrest ‘the ‘trhemph of \principles wiith have their origin ‘in justice‘and truth. Wolce of New York—Thre Meeting Last Night. An emphatic approval’ was given te the: Kan- sas-Nebraska bill last:evening at Tammany Hall. ‘Seldom if everhas old Tammany held such a multitude within her walls; and:seldom have'we witnessed amore enthusiastic assem- blage. The question’was laid before'them, as will be seen by the report elsewhere, in its his- torical, philosophical, and constitutional bear- ings; and by more°than one of the speakers, ‘was narrowed down very properly to the sim- ple inquiry whether or no it was expedient to grant to the people of this republic, in the Ter- ritories as well as-the States, the-right of self- government, which is the essence of democra- cy. We need hardly add that the answer was affirmative and emphatic. Thousands of citi- zens, real merchemts, and real mechanics, made the hall and the passages, and the Park itself outside, ring with applause when the resolu- tion endorsing the Nebraska bill was read. After this the less said about the select circle of Tabernacle ,philanthropists the better. In their private capacity, the gentlemen who occu- State Senator, Mayor, and various other public and private offices of trust and emolument. The Board of Councilmen met again last evening, at the-usual hour, and transacted a large amount of business, in the shape of adopting resolutions and accepting reports of committees. The Board went into ‘Committee of the Whole on all reports where 'there-was an expenditure of money. Some remarks were made about reform; but, generally speaking, the members were unusually quiet, which arose from some outside movement—probably the Nebraska meeting at Tammany Hall. Am interest- ing communication was received from the Comp- troller, on the water line of New York city on the Long Island shore, which will be found under the head-of our special report. The tenth anniversary meeting of the Mariner's Family Industrial Society of the port of New York, was held yesterday morning at No. 322 Pearl street. The anniversary dinner of the St. Patrick’s So- ciety of Brooklyn, took place in Central Hall, last evening. Owing to the crowded state of our columns we are compelled to omit a sketch of the speeches, toasts, &c. ‘To-day’s inaide pages contain an account of the preparations for the celebration of St. Patrick’s day; particulars of the loss of about forty lives by the burn- ing of the steamer Caroline; Acting Consul Robert- s0n’s official statement relative to the outrage on the steamship Black Warrior, at Havana; com- mercial, legal, local, theatrical and miscellaneous news, &c. Russia in Her Isolation. It is evident, from the decided tone of the Czar’s reply to the propositions contained in the letter of the French Emperor, that but very little hope now remains of his being induced to listen to any overtures short of the conditions to which he has consistently adhered throughout the whole of the negotiations by which it has been attempted to bring the Eastern question to a pacific settlement. As the allied Powers continue equally bent upon carrying out their policy of intervention, and as we have it now officially confirmed in the speech of the French Emperor that Austria and others of the leading German Powers are about to commit them- selves to that policy, it would seem as if noth- ing could now avert the attempt to decide the questions at issue by the force of arms, But will a war of brief or long duration—for it is impossible to foretell its limits—lead toa definite solution of the political problems which have given rise to the present complication of European affairs? It does not require any. great amount of political sagacity to foresee that its epeedy or remote termination, or its successful conduct by either Russia or the coalition, will leave the real principles at stake in precisely the same position in which they now stand. The war is with Russia a religious and organic movement, imposed upon her by a more powerful will than that of any human ruler, and she cannot if she would resist the influence that im- pels her forward. Progression and expansion are the conditions of her destiny, and she will overleap all the barriers that the conventional policy of the old and effete governments of Europe may attempt to oppose to their fulfill- ment. The youngest and most vigorous amongst the nations of the Old World, she alone possesses the vitality necessary to carry forward the work of human progress, It is her mission to break down the artificial restraints by which Christianity and civilization have been for cen- turies confined within narrow limits, and to diffuse their blessings over regions that have either relapsed into barbarism or that have been hitherto unconscious of their influence. Formidable as is the coalition organized against Russia, she has perhaps less to appre- hend from the consequences of a protracted struggle than any of the Powers leagued against her. Impregnable in her territorial po- sition, like arock against which the billows lash themselves in harmless fury, her policy is to keep within her territories, and to allow her enemies to exhaust their force against her in impotent ef- forts, She has only to maintain her footing in the Principalities, and to secure her frontiers and seaports from surprise, and then to wait pa- tiently the course of events. To any other Power euch a policy would be ruinous. To her it would be acertain means of gaining her ends. The enormous sacrifices which a protracted war would entail upon the coalition would in them- selves soon suffice to break it up; but besides this she has another powerful arm in reserve which would at once shatter it to pieces. What is to prevent Russia from wielding in her tura the revolutionary element, and, by declaring Italy and Hungary independent, laying the already tottering fabric of the Austrian mon- archy in ruins? Once the flames of revolution were kindled, who can foresee where they would stop? Are the political systems of France and England so congenial to the people of those countries that their rulers aredikely to enjoy immunity from a conflagration which would soon sweep over the whole surface of European society? The position assumed by the allied Powers is in truth an unnatural and fictitious one, and is pregnant with consequenges to which they ‘pied the platform at those exclusive reunions may continue to claim our respect ; but as pub- lic men, they are clearly no better entitled to speak for New York than the seven tailors of Brantford were tocall themselves—We, the peo- ple of England. Tammany Hall has spoken our sentiments. It will be a relief to the friends of John ‘Cochrane to :know that, though he “ perempto- rily declined” to-address the meeting last even- ing, he is frankly in favor of the Nebraska bill. ‘The act is at least creditable to his head, and may cover.a stray scarlet letter or two. Mr. Fowler is now the only prominent office holder of that.clique who has not spoken: acting pro- bably under secret instructions from Washing- ton to assist John Van Buren in his conspiracy against the bill. Of the other recipients of ad- ministration favor in this city, Redfield, O’Co- nor, Cochrane and Rynders have now taken a stand in favor of the bill. Forced into this position, some by conviction, others by the overwhelming current of public opinion, these men are an index to the feeling of the largest city in the North on the Nebraska question. Their adhesion—in the teeth of the notorious hatred of slavery entertained by the President—shows how falsely the anti-slavery press has attempted to malign New York. There is now no further danger for the bill but treach- ery on the part of the administration. We know that Pierce is hostile to the extension of slavery, and consequently to the principle of Congressional non-intervention ; and we augur confidently from this that every effort will be made by him and his creatures to defeat the bill in the House. While openly declaring himself in its favor, he will secretly plot against it, and eo all he can to have it rejected by the House of Representatives. It was perhaps from some latent apprehension of this nature that the meeting of last evening abstained so carefully from any expression of opinion with regard to the policy of the President and his Cabinet. Not even a soft shell can be now found to en- dorse Mr. Pierce or his administration. The fact is significant. A large portion of the audience was composed of hard shells; but the speakers and managers belonging to the soft wing of the democracy. The latter has now taken its stand boldly; it remains for the “hards” to perform their share of the work, and assume their part of the re- sponsibility. When New York is belied so foully, it becomes no man to remain silent. Let us have a hard shell meeting in favor of the Nebraska-Kansas bill. Iuportant MOVEMENT IN THE City GovERN- mENT.— Alderman Mott is at last striking the nail on the head. His motion, made on Wednes- day, to repeal the new city charter, is a step in the right direction ; and if followed up will do far more to cure the evils of our city govern- ment than all the patchwork legislation we have had during the last ten years, It is now noto- rious that the present municipal authorities, like the last, are incompetent to discharge their duty in a manner consistent with the comfort and well-being of the people. What share of this incompetency arises from their personal unfitness for their station, and what from the | defects of the law under which they are act- ing, we need not inquire; it is enough to know that under our present constitution, they could not if they would, govern the city aright. The division of power among numbers of offi- cials has produced its obvious consequences, which are disperdition of force, and diminution of responsibility. Hence the laxity of the gov- ernment, unpunished violation of ordinances, the miserable weakness of the municipal body, the wretched arrangements for the cleanliness and health of the city—in fact all the evils un- der which New York groans. The proper, the only cure for these is to strike at the root of the evil, and to substitute for our present system one that will concentrate instead of dividing municipal authority. We must placg in re- sponsible hands enough power to discharge the duties required of the municipal body ; then those duties can be efficiently discharged, and if they are not, we have the remedy in our own All the elections of heads of departments should be abolished, and no municipal officers should be elected but the Mayor and the two Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen. The others should be appointed by the Mayor sub- ject to the ratification of the Board of Alder- men. This would give efficiency to our city government. No other plan will. We are glad to see Alderman Mott on the right track. Mrstvo Comrantes In Watt Street.—People ought to be on their guard as to having any- thing to do with the mining companies that come into Wall street with a great parade and flourish of trumpets about the value of their ores, and the immense fortunes that are to be made out of them “right away.”’ Mining com- and remain tranquilly in their localities.

Musica. Inre.ironxce.—Itis stated thatGrisi ‘and Mario have finally made wp their minds to ‘cross the Atlantic, and will arrive here in June mext, to fulfil their engagement at the new Opera House. Their advent has been so’ fre- quently announced without the hoped-for re- sult of their presence following in its due course, that when we see them come on shore we will believe in the ‘fact. Mr. Barry, the popular and experienced stage manager of the Breadway theatre, has been selected by the proprietors of the new Boston theatre as lessee of that splendid establishment. He goes out on the 5th of next month, amply provided with the means and introductions ne- cessary for securing the best talent that can be engaged in Europe. It is well known that Niblo’s agent, Mr. Cor- byn, and Max Maretzek are also in Europe fishing up what they can find in.the way of nov- elties, so that next summer the musical public are likely to profit by the keen competition that this spirit of enterprise will arouse between the different empresarios. panies that are profitable generally keep quiet The benefit concert to be given on the 22d, by the congregation of Calvary Church, to Madame Bouchelle, will, it isexpected, bea very brilliant .affairy The ladies of the congrega- tionare making the most strenuous efforts to give itall the éc/at possible, and the result will no doubt be as satisfactory to the fair bénd- Jiciare as it will be creditable to the generous feeling that suggested this tribute to a popular and deserving artist. A new musical journal has recently been started in this city by Mr. Henry C. Watson. This gentleman hasbeen already the father of two.or three similar literary bantlings, which enjoyed a-merry existence of a few months and were then consigned to a premature grave. The truth is, that journals based upon one idea, and more particularly on music, are like fid- dlers upon one ‘string—none ever succeeded but one, .and that was Paganini. Mexrco—REevoLvrionaRy Syaproms.—The last.accounts from Mexico are decidedly revo- if we hed Sollowed the Hxnatp’s counsel we should have been a great deal r off. ‘There was no rejoinder.

Mr. was expected he would go in with as large a, majority as Martin had last year—about 3,000; but in a former letter Tet him down at 1,500, and now 'I don’t think he will have haif that. ¢ House of Reprerentatives will not be full, and the admini¢tration party will probably have ten or twelve majority there, and they will get the Senate; but some Tun may be expected when an election for United States Senators is gone into. Many people say it would be all right if they:had Pierce here to manage matters; but as itis, there'will be trouble. Among the persons elected to the Howse there are many <lemocrats who are tinged with freevsoilism and ‘‘disaffection” to the a:l- ministration. Same of them have already said that they will never vote for any man for United States Senator who has been committed in favor of Mr. Douglas’ bill, and'many'of the people said that they would not vote forany man for any office if the said candidate had ex- pressed himeelf in favor of the same measure. The con- sequence is, that the persons elected to the popular | brunch of the Legislature are generally men who are rsonally popular on account of their liberal principles. When they get intoa ballot for United States Senators they will be very apt to vote for whom they please, notwith- | standing the cragooning of the administration, It woul’ be ‘safe to wager that, as ‘ir. Hibbard is now situated, he | eannot have the seat in the Senate that he has so long | waited for, and that he haa so often plotted and scheme for. ‘However, as he has several times been disappointed, he has probably become accustomed to it. Mr. Wells’ chance is better, but not much; but New Hampshire po- litics are so very uncertain about this time that no pre- | diction however shrewd can be relied upon. " Ianay be wrong in my caloulaticns—we are all liable ‘to‘err—but I certainly think that the abolitionist orators have not succeeded in raising such an excitement here upon the Nebraska question as they expected, or as they would have people not on the ground imagine. The New Hampshire people are very cautious, and they take a ‘long time to make up their minds on political questions. They have, too, a strong attachment for the old pirty o:ganization, and they have so often marched to victo uncer the democratic banner that it requires a groat deal to make them derert it. A great many of them hate the Nebraska bill, but they are afraid to leave their old ay. and trust to whigs and free soilers. On the other Tend, the whigs were thoroughly united-—protably never £0 well since the total rout of the democrats in 1845. The people are in doubt about their representatives in Congress, and I think it very likely that their representa- | tives in Congress are in doubt about the people—ail per taining to the Nebraska bill. Mr. Morrison is circulating speeches against it under his frank, and Mr. Hibbard is fravking Douglas’ speeches in its favor. Nothing pa:- ticular has been heard from Mr. Kittredge, but tie pub- lic sentiment of bis district is decidedly against the vill. From the above, and the letters which have prece ted, the reader will be able to form a correct idea of the state of things in New Hampshire. That the administration has had a severe rebuke no one pretends to deny. That fact | is establish crat, who said that ‘two more such victories would use up the party.” The latest accounts give the opposition twelve majority in the House, with some thirty strong democratic towas to hear from. Ww. ed by the:aseertion of a distinguished demo- We make up the following returns from the Concord Patriot of yesterday:— lationary. A new movement has beén got up at Acapulco by General Alvarez, who is bit- terly hostile to Senta Anna dnd his despotism. This movement acquires strength and force from, and has imall probability originated in, that.of Captain Walker, in Lower California. We have no doubt but that simultaneously similar insurrections will break out in other departments of Mexico, and that the present system, under the auspices of Santa Anna, will not iast six months, unless it is foolishly and plunderingly aided by the fifteen or twenty millions of tribute which General Pierce and his envoy, Mr. Gadsden, have agreed to pay for a few miserable acres of rocks beyond the Rio Grande. Tue Sumpruary Liquor Law.—We learn from Albany that the vote on this measure will be taken on the 224, and that it will be presented next day to Governor Seymour for ratification. Itis thought by many that the Governor will veto this unconstitutional bill, whilst others believe that he will not have the moral courage to refuse his signature toit. For our own part, we are rather inclined to doubt the Governor’s pluck, but we wait with patience the dénoue- ment, caring very little which way it may be. Exgcvumion oF Staves.—Five slaves are to be hung to- day in Lancaster, 8. C., for the murder of Mr. Alexander Craig. Marine Affairs. Serr Lavnoa.—Yesterday st 11 o'clock A. M., the ship Francis B.

OUR CONCORD CORRESPONDENCE. Conconp, March 15, 1853. The Result so Far as Known—Concord on Election Day— ‘The First Despatch to the President—General Review, de., de. The great struggle being over, it may be well enough to give the closing scenes, and to review the aspeot of the parties in the field. Election day opened pretty well as far as weatlier ‘was concerned, but before the ‘“‘town meetings’”’ had chosen their moderators the sky was overcast and the wind changed to the eastward, with drizzling, nasty rain, not by any means comfortable. The public was like the earth previous to the ‘‘taking off’ of good King Duncan—it ‘(was feverous and did shake.” On the night previous there was an anti-Nebraska meeting in the Depot Hall, and some six hundred per- sons assembled. The meeting was convened to hear a speech from Thomas Russell, Esq., one of the justices of the Boston Police Court. Previous to his arrival, (he held @ court in the afternoon,) a half-hour speech was made by Mr. Bellows, of this town. It was very evident that the people came to hear Mr. Russell, for Bellows re- ceived several gentle hints to yield the floor, and he com- plied with them at last. Mr. Russell is a pleasant orator enough; but I really never before heard a man crowd so many old stories into one speech. He argued against the Nebraska bill chiefly on moral grounds, and recapitulated the old anti-slavery disunion arguments, which neither you nor your readers would thank me for repeating. His remarks were coldly received, and, in fact, the only hearty applause during the evening was elicited by @ tribute to the memory of Webster. He wished that Massachusetts could have one hour of Web- ster in the Senate while the bill was under discussion. He called ugon the people to remember that every vote they cast was a vote on the Nebraska bill, and he warned them not to be blinded to the fact, that this was the real issue in the election. He took up several positions made in Mr. Hallett’s Nashu: ch, and said that Mr. Hal- lett, like a great many other people in the United States, had plenty of sympathy for the cause of freedom in Europe, and none for it’ anywhere else. Mr. Russell’s speech was altogether the best—that is, the most pléasing—that I heard on that side while I have been in the State. It did not seem to have much effect upon the audienee. ‘The result of the election in Concord was a thunder- bolt upon the heads of the Patriot clique. In the ward where Mr. Pierce resided, and where Mr. Baker, the de- mocratic candidate resides, the administration ticket was defeated by seventy; and out of the ten representatives to which Concord is entitled the administration party have only two, and they would not have been elected had it not been supposed that they were opposed to the Ne- braska bill. One of the President’s friends, at about six o'clock, sent to him the following :— To rue Presipent or THe Unirep States — The State has gone to h—. G. —E. Up to eight or nine o'clock this was the prevailing opinion in Concord, Old democratic towns came in whig Gilmanton sent a whig—‘old Gilmanton,” as Taaac Hill used to call it, and say, ‘as goes Gilmanton, so goes the State.” There were § 4 faces in the Pacriot office, and Mr. Butterfield placed himself at the end of a long ‘segar, and said nothing. At the free soil head- quarters there was qnite a different state of things; they thought they bad asure thing, and there were a great many manifestations of enthusiasm previous to the emerging of the party from the umbrageous shades, where they have been in retirement for the past eight years.
