The arrival of the steamship Atlantic gesterday, places us in possession of four days later news from Europe. The intelligence from the seat of war is interesting, the prominent points of which are given elkewhere. The markets for breadstnffs and cotton are regarded as unfavorable. The private letters by the Atlantic were not de- livered in time for their advices to exercise any ma- terial influence on the markets, and no sales of suf- ficient magnitude were made ir breadstuffs after the mews came to hand to test its influence, if any. Common brands of State flour closed heavy at $8 25 a $8 60—Saturday’s quotations. A lot of Seuth- ern white wheat, for milling, sold at $2 15. Indian corn ofall kinds, except good Southern yellow, was Jower, and ranged from 69¢c. to. 73. Cotton, with fair sales, élosed heavy. The sales for the past week amounted to 11,404 bales. In the House of Representatives yesterday a resolution proposed by Col. Richardson, to continue the debate on the Nebraska bill til! Saturday next, and postponing the consideration of the Pacific Railroad bill to the 24th inst., was adopted. There ‘was larger number of members present than has assembled any day during the present session. But the votes given cannot be regarded as tests of the strength of parties. After Saturday next, when the rule limiting the speakers to five minutes is in force, the contest will again be renewed in earnest. The motion to extend the debate was the result of an understanding come to by the friends ef the bill at a caucus held yesterday morning. Serious personal difficulties are apprehended between Messrs. Craige, of North Carolina, and Hunt, of Louisiana, growing out of a sharp colloquy in the House, and it is stated that a challenge has passed between the parties. The speech of Mr.Cass in the Senate yesterday on the subject of freedom to Americans abroad, and which we have noticed in an editorial article, may be found in another part of to-day’s paper. In reply to asuggestion that the committee having the mat- ter under consideration report measures to secure our citizens religious toleration at home, Mr. Cass remarked that the general government had nothing to do with the subject—it belonged to the States, Mr. Fillmore was enthusiastically received by the Baltimoreans yesterday. President Pierce tendered to him the hospitalities of the White House, which were declined. He arrives in Philadelphia to-day. We particularly refer to our Havana correspond- ence, published in another columu, which to-day is more than usually interesting. Besides giving a perfect epitome of the events which have transpired in the island during the week ending the 8th instant, the translation of a decree from the pen of the Marquis de la Pezuela himself will be found, in which he denies the existence of any treaty be- tween France, England, and Spain, with reference to Cuba, and expresses his determination once more to suppress the slave trade. We have advices from Venezuela to the 25th ult. The act emancipating the slaves went into operas tion on the day specified, and created much atten- tion. The abolitionists hereabouts have extolled this act as one of philanthropy; but it seems that it had its origin in political artifice, and passed the Congress through the basest corruption. No atten- tion Whatever was paid to the wishes of the people on the subject. The slaves, after the promulgation of the law, went about their usual avocations as if not at all gratified for the interference. Much in- dignation existed at Caraccas among the mer- chants respecting the act prohibiting all claims by foreigners for indemnity for losses by revolutions. Yesterday afternoon, during a thunder squall to the north of New York, a flash came into the city on one of the House line telegraph wires, entered the office at the corner of Nassau and Wall, or 21 Wail street, and set fire to a file of messages hang- ing near the operator’s (Mr. Selden’s) head. The ignition was accompanied with a sharp explosion. The trial of Major Wyse by court-martial was concluded yesterday, and along and able defence delivered on behalf of the accused by his counsel, Mr. E. W. Andrews. We are obliged to postpone its publication till to-morrow in consequence of the press of foreign news and other matter. The trial of William Murray, Hugh Mooney, and William Turner, charged with having, as the Board of Inspectors in the late election in the Twentieth ward, maliciously and illegally made a false return of the number of votes polled for Alderman, was continued yesterday in the Court of General Sessions before his Honor Recorder Tillou. Some sixty wit- nesses were examined for the prosecution. The As- sistant District Attorney desires all persons who voted for Mr. C.H. Tucker for Alderman in the first district of the above ward to appear in court and testify to the fact. Our report is unavoidably crowded out. Damages to the amount of $8,000 were rendered yesterday in the Unitedgstates Circuit Court against the Richthond Examiner, for a libel contained in strictures on aa revised publication of the “ Illus trations of Shakspere.” The suit, being undefended, amounts to little more than an inquest. Judge Clerke rendered a decision in the Supreme Court yesterday, dissolving an injunction issued against the City Inspector, who was directed by an Ordinance of the Board of Health to remove a nui- sance whieh proceeded from an enormous hog es- tablishment, where thetsurrounding atmosphere is corrupted by a fetid and sickening smell. In the Board of Supervisors last evening the Committee on Annual Taxes reported against pay- ing the members of the Boand of Health for their services. The matter was laid on the table. No business of any public interest was transacted in the Board of Councilmen. A number of reports were taken up in Committee of the Whole so a to dispose of them finally during the third read- ing on Friday evening next. In the Board of Aldermen last night a commu nication was received complaining of the unfair manner in which contracts are received for clean- ing streets. A resolution to prevent Russ & Reid from removing the gutter in Broadway, after some discussion, was lost. An ansuccessful attempt was made to find out if Mr. Taylor, the keeper of the City Hall, kept brandy or other liquors for the a commodation of members of the Common Council. A communication from the Comptroller respecting us bale of the city markets was syceived aud or dered tobe vuttuted The appropriation of the sum | about ‘the Holy Sepulchre, they tacitly con- of $1,500 made by the Councilmen for the funeral | expenses of those who suffered by the fire at 231 | Broadway was concurred in. A resolution to ex- tend the hospitalities of the city to ex-President Fillmore on his expected visit was alse concarred | in. ‘Tho News by the Atlantio—Bombardment of Odessa, Admiral Dundas has at dest been aroused | from the state of lethargy which had brought upon-him not only the sneersof his comrades in arms, but the indignant comments of some of the London jourmuls, and commenced the naval campaign by a demonstration-which, as far as we can /udge from the confused and imperfect accounts that have reached us, looks very like a failure. In speculating, a short time siace, on the Jine of operations that.would probably be pursued by the allied fleets, we indicated Odessa as being likely to be the first point of attack, from the double inducements held out by the comparatively weak character of its de- fences; and the fact of its being the great com- mercial emporium of the south of Russia. From this source the armies-operating.on the Lower Danube draw their supplies of grain, and it is obviously. one of the first steps necessary to the successful prosecution of hostilitiesin this quar- ter, that possession of it should be obtained by the allies. Ina military point of siew, its oc- cupation is.of still higher importance, as it may be said to form the key to the Principalities; and the landing of any censiderable force here would turn the flank of the Russian exmies and cut off their retreat acrossithe Pruth. The news.of the bombardment of Odessa was therefore to be looked fer as imminent, and some intimation of the Adiniral’s instructions with regard to it must have got wind, for the fact itself was anticipated for stock jobbing purposes by about a week. We confess, how- ever, that we were not prepared for the éntelli- genee that this first important:naval operation of the allies against one of the weakest. perts in the Black Sea should have been attended with such little suceess, The destruction of a battery of four guns, ofan inconsiderable portion of the town, and of eight or nine ,werchantmen that lay in the harbor, appear, according to both the Austrian and Russian a¢ceunts, to .be the only results attained by a canonnade of ten hours duration. An attempt to land a force ef 1,800 men failed, and in the attack three of the English steamers were. disabled by the fire of the batteries. It is stated in another account that the Russian fleet sailed out of Se- bastopol and advanced against the allied squadron, with the view of getting it between two fires, but that on a portion of the British ships offering battle, the Russians withdrew to their stronghold. If this be the fact, it does | not say muck for the pluck of the latter, as no more favoralde opportunity could have been presented to them of measuring their strength with their enemies at sea. Only a portion of the combined fleets seems. to have been engaged in this attack, the number of vessele being va- riously stated, but in no instance exceeding eighteen. Between the contradictory accounts given respecting the issue of this affair, it is impossi- ble to arrive at any clear conclusion as to the actual facts. A private telegraphic despatch received from Odessa by an eminent Greek firm in London, and dated April 26, announced that the whole of the combined fleet had taken their departure on that day, whilst the Austrian Correspondenz, under date of Bucharest, April 28, states that the bombardment still continued—that four frigates were severely damaged, and that the Woronzoff palace was totally destroyed. From the Danube the news is important. The Russians have retired from all their posi- tions opposite Kalefat, and fallen back on Bu- charest. The Turks, relieved from all fears for that position, had withdrawn a considerable portion of the force entrenched there, and had successively occupied Mulglavit, Gunia, Po- jana, and Palecheti, and were expected to reach Krajova on the 28th ult. Omer Pacha was con- centrating all his forces at Shumla, and was determined to make a stand there, and to en- deavor to prevent the further advance of the Russians. The important position of Silistria was closely invested, and apprehensions were entertained that its defenders would not be able to hold out until the arrival of aid. All these facts indicate that the approaching sum- mer campaign will be actively prosecuted on both sides. Sir Charles Napier has as yet done nothing in the Baltic. The fleet was at Stockholm on the 21st, and on the 25th the Admiral had an interview with King Oscar. The object of his visit is not stated. The Greek revolution has sustained some checks, and it is said that dissensions have sprung up amongst its leaders. The Porte is about to remove at its own cost tothe Pirans all the Greeks who are too poor to pay their own expenses. In another part of our paper will be found letters from the Madrid correspondents of the London Times and Chronicle, which will be read with interest, as professing to give a taith- ful representation of the state of Spanish feel- ing as regards our claims against that govern- ment. Whilst admitting that almost all sensi- ble men own that Cuba must sooner or later pass into eur possession, the former expresses his belief that at the last moment Spain would emancipate the shaves and abandon the island to them ,sooner than that it should fall into our hands. For even this result we are prepared. Retiatovs ToLeration Asroap.—We trust that Archbishop Hughes wil read, mark and inwardly digest the speech of General Cass, which we publish in another column. His Grace, it will be remembered, took occasion, at the time of the Madiai excitement, to ad- vance the proposition that the Catholic reli- gion, being as much a polity as a creed, could not become tolerant in certain countries of Ea- rope without being inconsistent. Hence the Archbishop argued that the Grand Duke of Tuscany had a perfect right to oppress and im- prison the Madiai, if he thought the political interests of his Grand Duchy required it. This may be remarkably convenient reasoning for the cause of which his Grace undertook to be the champion. We doubt its abstract truth, however. The Roman Catholics claim and en- joy certain vested rights in Palestine, in the heart of a Mahomedan eountry; and like rights have been conceded by the Moslems to the Greek and the Protestant churches, It cannot be pretended that the Catholic religion is more closely interwoven with the governments of Tuscany and Spain, than the faith of Islam is with the qoverument of Turkey. If concessions were improper and dangerous in the one case, they were equally improper and dangerous in the other: and when the Roman Catholics in- sisted om enjoying certain privileges in and ceded the reverse of Archbishop Hughes’ pro- position. In point of fact, it is absolute nonsense to talk of governments whose safety is incompati- ble with religious toleration. It would be possible to construct a government which abso- lutely required robbery, murder and polygamy, to keep it in existence ; but a bare statement |.of such a peculiarity would be no excuse for the |-commission of. these crimes. So when'the Grand Duke of Tuscany, or the Queen of Spain, or the Pope of Rome, or Archbishop Hughes tells us that this-or that government cannot afford to allow Protestants to exercise their religion freely within its dominions, in consequence of the peculiar nature of its institutions, we reply unhesitatingly that in that case the govern- ment and the institutions mast be altered to suit the enlightened views of modern times. Long before these views commanded general assent, they were practically enforced in Pales- tine by all three sects of Christians; it new re- mains for the Roman Catholies to have meted outto them the measure they meted to the Turks. A religious war is being waged in onequarter. of Europe, and frem the language used by one of ‘the belligerents wescould fancy ourselves transported back te the days of the Crusades. or the Reformation. Let us not suppose that anything of the kind is again in etore for the west of Europe or America. France has lately shown a noble example of toleration, and is in this respect far in advance of England with her ‘State church, lordly bishops and priestly tithes. Spain and Italy must follow the example. Protestants must have chapels in any city where their co-religionists number people enough tocompose acengregation. Ht will not do, in the present age, to thrust them igno- miniously into an extramural hovel. Nor can they consent to bury their dead privately and stealthily, as though, the act were a crime, to gratify the prejudices of the Spanish govern- ment. Protestants must.bave a burying ground, where the Protestant form of worship can be performed, in every city where Protestants reside. -All that European. governments ean do to prevent the establishment of these rules ef toleration, will avail nothing; and the wisest course for Archbishop Hughes to pursue under the cireumstances, is to resign himself to the march of intellect without geumbling. | The Nebraska Question—Tke Armistice of the Majority. On the 20th day of August, 1847, Gen. Soott, in front of the capital of Mexico, completely defeated the Mexicans in the hloody battle of Churubusco, and drove them to the gates of the city. Atthis point the enemy asked for an armistice, with the view to a treaty of peace. An armistice was generously granted. Hos- tikities were suspended till the seventh day of September, when our veteran commander hav- ing discovered that Santa Anna was playing false, re-opened the war. The terrible conflicts at Molino del Rey, Chapultepec, and the Gari- tas,however, were the price which our army had te pay for the honest magnanimity ex- tended by Gen. Scott to the faithless Mexican dictator. Santa Anna had treacherously em- ployed the interval of the armistice in strength- ening his defences for the most desperate resis- tance, as the sequel abundantly proved. The majority of the Howse of Kepresenta- tives at Washington, in favor of the speedy passage of the Nebraska bill, have placed them- selves in a similar position to that of General Scott, with this difference—that this last ar- mistice between the hostile forces comes from the side which conquered in the opening battle upon the main question, and not from the enemy driven to the gates of the city. What are we to conclude from this extraordinary state of things? The House majority must be very confident of their strength, or there must be a screw or two loose in their parliamentary engineering. The debate on the Nebraska bill is extended to Saturday next, and this cences- sion comes from the majority; the Pacific Rail- road bill is deferred as the special order for to- morrow (Wednesday) week, the 24th, and this concession comes from the majority. There is no understanding with the minority that they will permit the Nebraska bill to come to a vote before the day set apart for the Pacfic Railroad bill; and we therefore presume that they have resolved upon another and more desperate struggle than the last. The important issues involved in this Ne- braska bill are doubtless fully understood by the anti-slavery minority of the House. Pass the Missouri repeal, and their occupation is gone. They know it. Let the question be held over to the next session, and the agitation against the bill becomes the ruling question in every Congressional district of every Northern State. A powerful anti-slavery party will be the result, and a purely sectional contest for Presifli¢mcy in 1856. But pass the bill, and the ques#ién for the North becomes one of simple and graceful submission to a constitutional law. The effects of the repeal of the Missouri re- striction, upon the disjointed factions of the two great political parties of the last twenty years, will be radical and revolutionary. A re- construction of parties, out-and-out, must ine- vitably follow the passage of the repeal. The administration and the party or parties sup- porting it must share largely in the general destruction of the existing order of things, and in the general re-organization. Parties in the North and in the South wil be remodelled upon new platforms, new principles, new men and new measures. The hopes of Seward, of Hale and of Garrison depend materially upon the defeat, of the bill, and upon carrying it over to the next session, Hence their desperate re- sistance in Congress, and the violent and trea- sonable imprecations of their organs. Pass the bill, and their newly devised programme for the Presidential campaign is broken up. Delay it till next December, and the contest in °56 will probably hurry us to the issue of disunion ina grand combined assault of all the anti-slavery factions, {n solid column, against the institu- tions of the South. Are there any of the House majority fearful |, of the consequences of the passage of this Ne- "braska bill, upon the present rickety organiza- tion of the democratic party ? What is it worth? Let the last elections in New York, New Hamp- shire, Maine, and other States, answer. It is good for nothing--it can do nothing short of a reorganization upon a new platform. In one word, the only way now to put down Seward, Chase, Hale, Giddings, and the Northern anti- slavery agitators, so as to render them perfect- ly harmless, is to pass the Nebraska bill with- out unnecesgary delay, including a distinct re- peal of the unconstitutional Missouri line. Whatever its effects upon the old parties of the day, or upon the administration, it will be a defeat of the anti-slavery agitators and a victo- ry for the Union, Sions or Tas Tres — Wak wirn Sprarn.— The following paper has been handed te us:— “tn time of peece prepare fer war.” by war.

Farnsworth & Hall may possibly be premature in the step they have taken; as we have as yet no sort of guarantee that the Presi- dent will fulfil the expectatiens which the country has formed. It is quite possible that, with such an administration as ours, Spain may bully us for many years tocome. At\_¢ same time the indication which the above document affords of the current of public opinion is valu- able. and noteworthy. Probably several hun- dred such calls would issue in a very few days if the government at Washington showed any symptoms of spirit. Over two hundred thou- sand men could be raised in’six weeks to carry ons war with Spain, and a hundred first class vessels fitted out to serve the purpose. ofa navy and transports. With such an armement, it weuld not need much time to drive .her most Catholic Majesty to the wall. We notice in many quarters a change of sen-. timent with regard to the prospect of hostilities with Spain. Among the more selid classes of the mercantile community, men who are not afraid of .a tight money market for a few months, are beginning to perceive the vast ulti- imate benefits. that would arise from the posses- sion.of Cuba. Shrewd business men are caicu- lating the amount of flour and manufactures we could send to Havana if the present Spanish tariff were abolished. Friends of the Union are recognizing the security such an acquisition would afford against trouble at the South, and though there are still traders and fossil whigs of the eld federal stamp, who look with as much horror‘on the prospect of a. war, as honest Jo- seph Sturges did atthe recent proceedings of England and France ; heir number is daily di- minishing, and: they are exerting’ but little in- fluence. ‘The country will never submit to the dictation of Wall street or State street.

Fitcu, oF THE WAsHINGTON.—It appears that there was a misapprehension on the part of Capt. Fitch in re- gard to the news collector, when he boarded him on Saturday night. Having the four hundred rescued pas- sengers of the Winchester on board, in addition to the two bundred of his own, he received instructions from the Health Officer to allow no one to come on board. These instructions, by mistake, were applied to the news collector. Jullien’s First Concert at Castle Garden. ‘The season at Castle Garden was opened last evening by Jullien’s band. The attendance was large, notwith- standing the threatening appearance of the weather; we presume there may have been from three to four thousand people present. There being but little that was new in the programme, our task ‘in criticising the per- formance is easy and need not occupy much space. The extract from Beethoven’s symphony in F was executed ingood style, and was 6o well appreciated by the au- dience that we trust their musical taste will not again be impeached. Herr Koenig plays as well as usual: but, in truth, the ‘Prima Donna Waltz,’ the “American Qua- drille,”’ and many other pieces which were given last evening bave been heard here about four or five hundred times too often to be very popular at this date. We wish Miss Zerr, too, would not sing “Home Sweet Home” any more. Not that she excites undue emotion: on the contrary, people were generally bored, all the composers didn’t die a quarter of a century ago; people are writing music, and good music every day; and we think Mons. Jullien might afford to let our grandfathers’ legacy slumber in peace. Let him trya fresh programme, and he will not lose by the change. Personal Intelligence. A. P. Starbini, Louisville, Ky.; Gov.

The news received here on the 4th instant, per the Isabel, from Charleston, that the Black Warrior affair was set- tled, created a-degree of consternation that cannot be easily described. The Spaniards felt that ‘it was too good to be true.’? The Creoles lamented that such should de the fact, for they had hoped that the ‘out- ”? would have led tos war which would have rid them of the ny under which they now groan. The Marquis de 1a Pezuela, it is stated, stormed and swore that if it proved true he would resign and abandon us to our fate. However, hebas thought twice upon the sub- [eben icant dismounting hgien upon the banas, which were intended to do such the Americanos, but which are now to be returned into store as uséless lumber.
