Bat behind these great Pow- erg th is a third party, which may be even more powerfal in the end than ali the governments in the field. It is the revo- lutionary party, waiting the favorable momeat to play their terrible part in the bloody drama. Here we have sug gested the possible question of neutrality or intervention on our part, raised among our adopied citizens, and seized upoa by hungry politicians for electioneering pur- poses. At all events, the old political parties of the courtry, and their old platforms aud old issues, are done away with. Phere must be a reorgani- zation of parties, and a recuasiruction of their platforms of new timber, for 1854. The drift of events in Europe, we therefore contend, from their pressure upon us, in a thousand possible contingencies, is destined to give shape and color in a controlling degree to the measures and principles touching our foreign policy ani our next Presidential campaign. We shall watch the developements of the tremendous struggle into which al! Europe is igvited with an eye to our rights as a free people, our dignity and honor as a nation, and our duties as a republic, peace or war. American OPINION ON THE Wak In Europe. —We publish elsewhere a curious letter, which | our past political history will show that our foreign viions pending a | } European war controlled the | policy and the fe ‘h republic | likely have been | appeared in the London Times of the 9th ult., and purports to have been contributed to that jourzel by its New York correspondent, Mr. Charles Edwards Lester. The letier describes in animated if not in sophomore language the extraordinary sympathy which all ranks and classes of indiv:duals here feel for the cause in which England and France are engaging in the Eastern war. To this representation of Ameri- can opinion on the subject of the war in Europe we enter a decided protest. We deny its ac- curacy in every point of view, and pronounce it from beginning to end to be a gross misrepre- sentation. In proof whereof, we refer to every occasion on which American opinion has had an oppor- tunity of being expressed since the commence- ment of the inffrog! We refer to the discas- sions in Congress, at public meetings, and in the columns of the press. And, from these and other means of information we have no hesita- tion in concluding that the New York corres- pendent of the Londen Times has stated the reverse of the actual state of things. He has committed the same erroras another American, now on the other side of the Atlantic, the Che- valier Webb, has since made both at the din- ner table of Britich’ Ministers and in the columns of the London Times. Both bave dis- played a want of judgment that cannot easily be explained. The letter of the one about American sentiment is quite on a par with the lucubrations of the other on privateering, Each bas doubtless enjoyed some measure of success in deluding the British people. The tack is so casy that the supposition reflects no very high credit on our countrymen. British stat ud the British press are so hopeles ly orant of American afiairs and the tru sources of Ar information, that the merest tyro in diplomacy can persuade them sme ican any th he pleases about thie country. {¢ will bar€ly be believed, for iusianee, that soon after the election of Louis Napoleon, Lord Palmers- m actually engaged the Chevalier Wykoff as a secret diplomatic agent at a salary of £500 a year. He was sent to Paris, specially on- trusted with the duty of keeping the American and French press straight on matters of public importance ; and likewise to keep Lord Pal- merston jwell informed of matters trawspiring | in the French espital. He was further to use his influence—which was believed to be prodi- gions—to advance Lord Cla: “s project of an Anglo-Aine: How the Cueva lier earned his £500 a yer as suc parties in Paris American press, we are unfortunately unable to say ; for the scrape inte which he contrived to get at Genoa cut short hie connection with alliance. ag Lord Palmerston, and terminated his official di- | | plomatic cavecr. The lesson he taught Lord Palnerston seems however to have been lost on the British government. We now hear of Lord larendon and Lord Palmerston trusting to Chevalier Webb, and taking his word for that of the American people, whea the Chevalier is actually tenorant of the laws of his own coun- ty.

Religious zeal having furnished a pretext for the wholesale buichery of the human species, itis but fair that religious charity should en- deavor to provide some assurance against the dread uncertainty to which it is about to con- sign so many victims. And yet edifying as has been the late polemical discussion at the Tabernacle, as to the truth or falsity of the doctrine of endless punishment, we fear that we are no nearer the solution of this knotty ques- tion than we were at the commencement of the cight days argument of the controversalisis, It isto be regretted that so much eloquence and research, as was displayed on this occasion, should have led to no more gatis‘actory resulis; but Messrs, Westcott and Sawyer may cow- fort themselves with the reflection that as none have previously succeeded in throwing light on the subject, none who come after them are likely to be more fortunate. Although the argumenis of the “damnation” advocate were marked by all the force and earnestness that generally characterize extreme opinions, we are bound in justice to state that the sympa- thies of the audience seemed, generally speak- ing. to incline to the reasoning of his opponent. There will, no doubt, be found persons ua- charitable enough to assume from this that there were more sinners than saints amongst their auditors, However this may be, it is cer- tain that the picture drawn by Mr, Westcott of the prospective doom of the unrighteous was not calculated to excite very comfortable feel- ings ia the minds of his hearers, Wrapt up in the intensity of his own speculations, Le seemed to peer into and plumb the depths of a cer- tain nameless abyss with a sort of scientific. confidence that reminded one forcibly of the lines :—— F “Wher ——— to Tartaras got, That buge and warm gasometer, “Geos Lord!” quoth he, “how wondrous bot !

All the work of the hoase ie materially assisted by a large and powerful steam en- gine. There are ninety suites of rooms, which are fitted up ina style which would shams some coynl resideners. ‘The parlors, sleeping rooms, bath rooms, ete., are very conveniently arranged in both establishments. Tre ho- such houses as the Metropolitan and Saint Nicholas vary from seven hundred to one thousand dolars per. aie, s By these statistics all persons familiar with English . and Continental hotels will sce that our hotels, if they are not beyond comparison, they are certainly unpar- alleled. The Englishman yays @ high, prieg for lodging, boots, and a candle; he eats a enld breakfast in hie apartment, for which he must pay another high prices and dines in isolation and frigidity ate restaurant or a elub, Everything ia “exira.” Hé cannet get ‘at Mor- Jey’s in London for two guinene what is cheerfully given. at the Saint Niehclas or Meiropelitan for half » guinea. So universally is the superiority of our hotels acknowledged abroad, that the nos: Uberal offers have been made to several cf our hotel keopors to eatab- lish hotels on the American plan in London and Paris, Since this time our hotels have improved fifty per cent, and the first class houses of three years ago are obscared. by the magnificence of the St. Nicholas and Metropoli- tan. The possession of hotels like these is a Vaxury which is. still in reserve for our Continental friends. They can, however, come over and enjoy them with ‘us, The coming season promises to be one of extraordinary sayety. We are to have two opera housss, a new music ball, six or eight theatres, Jullien is coating back to ge sentimental over the sea breezes at Castle Garden, Bar- num has taken hold of the Crystal Palace, Genin will see that our principal promenade is clean, the Broadway shopkeepers will out-do all their previous achievements in splendid stores and magnificent goods; in fact, the most extraordinary facilities wil be offered for the- spending of a8 much money as timid rentiers, fying from the wars and rumors of wars in Europe, can manage to bring with them, They will be well onteriained at the St, Nicholas and Metropolitan Hotels, and sagh ia the latitude allowed that they may be as cxclasive or aa liberal as they please. Wen the European wars are over they can return with some new ideas as to trae civilization, and perhaps may be brough: to believe that refinement and republicanism are often found haad in hand.
