THE EUROPEAN NEWS. - The steamship Franklin arrived at this port yes- terday with four days later news from Europe. We have commented upon the prinoipel features of the intelligence in an editorial article. The news caused holders of good State brands of flour to de- mand about 12} cents per bbl. advance. But, as prices for some time previously ‘had ruled above the range of foreign quotations and orders, the enhanced views of sellers were not for the moment realized. The market, however, closed with a@ much firmer feeling. Indian corn was also better after the news, and sold at about one to two cents advance for that in good sound shipping condition, which was com- pa: ely in Yintited supply. As usual, a large pro- portion of the Western corn arriving was either too The News. NEBRAGH !—NEBRASKA TRIUMPHANT! Of the highest possibie interest, and of the’deep- est importance to this community and to this-coun- ‘try, are the proceedings in the two honses of Con- gress yesterday upon the Nebxaska question. The majority of the House, as will be seen by reference to the report of the proceedings, by a very simple voup d'dat,cur off the factious opposition of the minority in committee, and succeeded in getting the bill before the House. At that point the guer-. xitla fighting commenced, and continued for some hours. But the majority steadily adhered to tuo programme laid down, check-mated their opponents wpon every move, until finally, at eleven o'clock, amid the vociferéus applause of friends and the hisses of opponents, the bill passed by the very satisfactory vote of one hundred and nine to ‘one hundred. Thue is secured the recognition of ‘that vital fundamental principle for which we have eo long and arduously labored—thus has tri- wmphed the principle of popular sovereignty, and thus are the enemies of the republic overwhelmec. The following is an analysis of the vote om the puc- wege of the bill :— YEAS. SLAVEHOLDING STATES. Whigs. Adercrombic Hil Poweil ox Kerr Preston Oarathers Miller, of Mo, Roady Grey Oliver, of Mo.

The re- porter states that the vote on the passage of the bill was 113 to 100, but the list of names is as published above, and foots up 109 to 100. In the Senate the presentation of the revolution- ary anti-Nebraska resolutions from the Legislature of Connecticut were the principal subject of the day’s deliberations. General Cass very truly sug- gested that they had atouch of the old Hartford Convention spirit in them, nor could all the special pleading of Mr. Truman Smith remove from them the treasonable doctrines which they so shamelessly avow. But let the fanatics and abolitionists rave on. When they are exhausted they will stop, and the Union will go on as before. In the meantime, however, we may expect a tremendous agitation— an awful destruction among the politicians--a com- plete revolution in their estimates for the presi- dency-—and even the reformation or total destruc- tion of General Pierce and his Cabinet. We are content to await the issue, standing as we do upon the platform of the Union and the constitution, Ne- braska and the sovereignty of the people. MISCBLLANROUS. A “Know-Nothing” candidate for Alderman was elected in Boston yesterday by a majority of twelve hundred. Ata meeting of a committee of merchants and others of this city on the 19th inst., it was agreed to present suitable testimonials to the captain and others of the vessels engaged in the rescue of crew and passengers of the ship Winchester. The noble conduct of those gallant sailors is understood and appreciated by our mercantile men, and we are glad to see it. Now, the Winchester was owned and in- sured in Boston, and all her passengers were to be Janded in Boston—indeed all her interests were Boston interests—so it was but natural to suppow that the “solid mem of Boston” vould do the hand wome thing by the rescuers. We learn, however, that a meeting of the aforesaid ‘solid men” was held yesterday, when a flatulent resolution of thanks was adopted—and nothing else—coupled with a re- commendation that Congress provide a permanent und to indemnify for losses on such occasions and £0 Bive Medaly to peritorigus olligers soy thyiy eer much heated or too damp to ship. In all such cases the distillers alone have to be relied upon as uy i detriment of growers and ‘ders in the interior. _ They should adopt some effectual measures for having the corn better housed and better dried, before sending it to this market, if- they expect to realize fair prices for it. Cotton was firmer after'the news, and-some sales were re- ported at about one-eighth cent advance on the morning quotations. APFAIRS IN THE CxTY. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, but nothing of general interest transpired. The argument in the case of Thomas Hope and others against the Sixth and Eighth Avenue Rail roads was concluded on Saturday afternoon, and the decision of thle udge may be looked for in a day or two. The matter is exciting considerable interest, both among the property holders interested and the railroad companies, whose tracks in College place are complained of as a public nuisance and great in- convenience. By reference to the proceedingsof the Committee appointed by a meeting at the Merchants’ Exchange on the 19th inst., relative te the rescue of the Win-. chester passengers, it will be seen that Richard Bell, Esq., 43 Wall street, was appointed Treasurer, and the donations of our citizens solicited in favor of the object intended are to be handed over to him as early as convenient. Capt. Foster, of the Currituck, appeared on ’Change on Saturday, and was warmly shaken by the hand and congratulated by a number of merchants who were present. From the Ist to the 21st inst. four hundred and twenty-four vessels arrived at this city from foreign ports, bringing over forty-eight thousand passengers. The Progress of the War—More Rumors, Speculations and Contradictians. The principal feature of interest in the ad- vices received by the Franklin is the report— for as yetit has assumed no more authentic foria—that Anstria is about to abandon her position of neutrality and to take steps that will definitively commit her to measures of active co-operation with the Western Powers. Whether this resolution has been forced upen her by the action of Russia, or that she has adapted it from considerations of her own interests, we have yet to learn. It is stated on the one hand that Russia recently intimated to the Prussian government that she had determined to address an ultimatum to Austria, calling upon her in positive terms to declare herself either for or against her, but at all events to declare herself. Baron Manteuffel stated in re- ply to this communication that such a step would be useless, as, being in possession of the sentiments of the Austrian cabinet on the sub- ject, he was aware beforehand of the nature of the answer that would be given. Subsequently, we presume, to this alleged notification—for the sources from whenee the information is de- rive? are not particular.as to dates—an intima- tion of a somewhat similar character was con- veyed to Baron Mantenffel by Count Buol. The latter stated that it was the inten- tion of the Austrian government to call upon Russia to give explanations as to her conduct in. exciting revolutionary movements in the States of neighboring sovereigns, and more particularly in Montenegro, and to insist upon the evacuation of the Principalities. These statements seem to us to hang so loosely together, and to be altogether so much out of the ordinary course that would be par- sued by the governments named, in the event of their deciding upon any formal steps of the kind intimated, that we cannot help looking upon them as founded rather upon the antici- pations arising from the intrigues of Russia in Montenegro and Greece, than upon the actual occurrence of the facts stated. The financial necessities of the Western governments render it just now of the higest importance that the anxiety caused by the doubtful attitude of the two lead- ing G 1 powers, shall not be converted into a panic; and the correspondents of the English and French press, at Berlin and Vien- na, accordingly seize upon every remor caleu- Jated to convey a favorable impression to the public mind at home. Since the commence- ment of these negotiations, which have had for their object to secure the adhesion of Austria and Prussia to the interests of the coa- lition, we have seen with what feverish eagerness every slight indication and sy mip- tom in the intermittent sympathies and leanings of those two powers have been watched and laid hold of by the newsmongers in the pay of the London and Paris press, We have seen statement after statement put forth with the utmost positiveness of assertion, either flatly contradicted or explained away by succeeding despatches, so thatit is now difficult to place reliance upon information derived from any other sources than the recognized organs of the different governments, We receive with the same caution the additional rumors that form the natural complement to these alleged diplomatic movements of the Austrian and Ras. sian cabinets, Ina communication from Viena, under date of the Sth instant, it is stated that during the preceding week conferences had taken place between Count Buol, the Earl of Westmoreland and M. de Bourquenay, at which conditions were agreed upon to be of- fered by Austria to Russia after the former had entered Bosnia, the Herzegovina, and Upper Altavia. These conditions were said to have been found acceptable by Baron Meyendor®. Li it be true, as we fing jt asgerted in those vices, So much Tér the Mberality of the mer | advices‘and in onr private correspon tence, that chant. of Bestem. We euppose they will next re- | the French government ‘tas definitively decided | solve to thank our citizens for doing what they pro- | ‘on the formation of am army cn the Rhine, with a view to controlling the action of Prassia, we'can hardly see how the fact can be recon- ciled with the statements we have just noticed. The separate treaty betweon Austri: and Prussia binds them to mutual organiza- tion, in the event of the common inte- | rests of Getmany being attacked, and we cannot well see how the invasion of the Pras- sian territories by a French army could be well regarded in any other light. Dut to show the improbability of these statements in a still stronger point of view, we find in the confer- ences alluded to, the Prussian minister appa- rently approving of an aggressive course of action on the part of Austria—conduct that | must inevitably compremise his government in the cyes of the Czar. Whence, then, the ne- cessity of this armed demonstration against Prussia on the part of France, if everything be going on so smoothly for the interest of the al- lies? It is, in short, impossible to see one’s way clear through tke jumble of contradictory state- ments suggested by the hopes and fears of those who have an interest in distorting and misre- presenting the facts, It is now affirmed positively that Denmark and Sweden have joined the coalition—a step that was to be expected from the exposed and defenceless character of the territories of those Powers, and their continual liability to attack by the allied fleets. The King of Denmark, notwithstanding his alleged leaning towards Russia, has no doubt had his sympathies con- trolled by a lively remembrance of the calami- ties inflicted on his country by its former anta- goniem to-the interests of England. Two statements of an important character, namely ; that the Austrians have already en- tered Montenegro, and that the bombardment of Sebastopol commenced on the 28th, may be get down as stock exchange rumors. Of a similar nature are no doubt the reports that the Russian fleets had quitted the harbors of Sebastopol and Helsingfors. Great Wallachia has not, it appears, been evacuated, although the fact was eo positively asserted, and the Rus- sians have only temporarily quitted Little Wa- lachia, or-at least it is so stated by Marshal Paskiewitch. There is, in fact, no news of any importance from any of the quarters in which hostilities are being carried on. The difference between the French Ambas- sador and the Porte has been at last settled. The former, it appears, insisted on the united Catholic Greeks being allowed to remain in Turkey. The Porte was obliged to yield, with the sad-conviction, no doubt, that she has only exchanged one set of masters for another. The British North American Provinces— Lord Elgtn’s Mission to Washington. Lord Elgin, Governor General of Canada, who, from his jate visit to England arrived in this city by the Europa, has, as we are now informed, been-charged with the impertant du- tiesof a special embassy to Washington, and left here for that city yesterday morning. He still retains his colonial offices, and does not, therefore, in this new appointment, supersede Mr..Crampton,. ner will he interfere with his general duties asthe regular British Minister near our government. From the incidental chargter, therefore, of Lord Elgin’s mission, and from his immediate and intimate relations with the affairs of the Canadas, New Bruns wick, Nova Scotia, ané the neighboring islands. and from his long experience in, and thorough knowledge of, the loca! and international in- terest: of those provinces, we are free io con- clude that visit to .the President is apon the subject of a general system of commercial reciprocities bh the United States, including the fishery question. For three or feur years past, Lord Elgin has been devoting his energies to a consolidation of the Canadas and the other provinces to the eastward, under a federal colonial system, with acommon central Legislature and executive establishment. From his recent visit to Eng- land, and his very flattering official reception there, together with Mr. Hingks,a distinguishe? Canadian functionary, also just returned, we may safely assume that Lord Elgin has brought his long cherished plan to something like com- pletion. About the time of his departure for England, despatches were received here from St. John that the province of New Brunswick had acceded to the proposed consolidation ; and at this present time, we believe, the only one of the colonies which holds out against the scheme is Newfoundland, Her objections, it is sup- posed, may be easily managed, with some con- cessions and promises for her especial benefit. At all events, it seems to be well understood, in thove quarters likely to be well informed, that the mission of Lord Elgin to Wasbington is based upon the pan of a consolidation of the Northern British colonies, and that his imme- diate object is such a tariff of reciprocities with the United States, in behalf of the combined colonies, embracing the fishery question, as will secure to both parties the substential bene- fits of free trade. Mr. Hineks has already made two or three trips to Washington upon this business within a few years past, and it is most likely that Lord Pigin will meet with about the same success as his predecessor. With regard to the fishery question, it fs highly desirable that fi shouid be settled upon some liberal and satisfactory basis. The nego- tiations between Secretary Marcy and Mr. Crampton, during the last summer, ended in smoke; but according to late advices from Eng- land, as published ia some of our quasi-adm'n- istration journals, the general terms of the set- tlement of the fishery controversy had been, or very soon would be, agreed npon between the two governments. Still, there is little doubt that the Northeastern fickeries are interwoven in this special mission of Lord Elgin. The projet of a consolidation of her Britan- nic Majesty’s American colonies may appear to be avery innocent affair. It may be even re- presented as a desirable movement with us, in view of some general system of commercial reciprocities applicable to all the interested colonies alike. But there is a political view of the subject which should not be overlooked. It has been whispered abroad, although ramor is very plausible, that the intention of the Eag- lish government, when this colonial consolida- tion shall have been perfected, is to place at the central colonial headquarters a sort of here- ditary viceroyalty. The Governor Geno- ral is to hold his office for life—a term which will give him the power, (if not the privilege.) especially if a prince of the blood, of providing his successor in office. It bas even been surmised that one of the eons of Queen Victoria, under a colo- nial regency, will be appointed chief of the constituted provinces—the regency only to qontinug wail ho shall haye reached an age which will justify the full aseumption of the practical duties and responsibilities of the office by the prince him-elf. How such an arrange- ment would take among her Majesty’s subjects in the colonies we do not know. Very likely they would be proud ef a son of their gracious sovereign as their master. It may be that our Administration would make no remonstrance against such a convenient arrangement. Vic- toria has a large and increasing family. They must be provided for in some way; and if par- celled out among her colonies, and they are satisfied, whose business is it to complain? But the idea of establishing an hereditary viceroyalty on our Northern frontiers, ought not tobe recognized by our government. It is inconsistent with the genius and the free work- ing of our republican institutions, and with all our notions and expectations of “the manifest destiny” of the Canadas, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The Administration is doing quite enough in support of the cause of royalty, in its Gadsden treaty subsidies to Santa Anna, to enable him to set up an imperial establishment in Mexico. We trust, therefore, that any colo- nial overtures from Lord Elgin, involving the setting up of a scion of the royal family of England in North America, will be rejected by Marcy without hesitation. After his instrac- tions, concerning old clothes to our ministers and consuls abroad, we think we may rely upon Marcy in this business of Lord Elgin, slippery as our premier is upon all questions except shad-bellied coats and leather breeches. We cannot stand a royal establishment in Her Majesty’s North American provinces. Let Marcy see to it that he is not led astray. John Mitchel and his Irish brigade will never per- mit the Coburgs to hold a viceroyaity on this side the Atlantic. Seriously, however, we shall wait with inter- est for the issue of this special mission of Lord Elgin to Washington, resting as it does, upon a consolidation of the Canadas and the neighbor- ing colonies, and comprehending, as it proba- bly does, a system of commercial reciprocitie: with the United States, including the settle- ment of the fishery question. But desirable as may be the blessingsof free trade, anda liber! adjustment -of the fishery difficulty, we take the liberty again to admonish the administra- tion at Washington, (especially Marcy,) of the danger of any entangling colonial arrange- ments with England, which may involve the policy .of introducing a contingent -beir to the British crown as the Governor General of our semi-republican neighbors. Between the liber- ties of the people and the “divine rights” of kings, we must do our duty, fish or no fish. Ivrortant FROM Spain—ARRIval or a Di- PLOMAT AND Drspatcues.—aA little breeze of ex- citement was raised in town yesterday, by the arrival, by the Franklin, of Senor de Cueto, Minister from Spain to the United States, and Mr. Warren Winslow, special bearer of des- patches from our Minister at Madrid to the State Department. The Jast-named, gentleman carried out despatches to Mr. Soulé relative to ‘the Black Warrior affair. He now returns with the result of the negotiations, and the new Minister is probably also arrived with instruc- tions from his government regarding the serious smisunderstanding which has arisen between Spain and this republic. Mr. Winslow tarried but afew hours.in town, and the despatehes he bears will be laid before the Cabinet to-morrow morning. The public will then receive information as to their con- temts, and we shall see whether Mr. Soulé dise- plays as much skill in dificult diplomacy as in arranging the delicate questions pertaining to dress coats, or in perfecting himself in small sword practice and the code of honor. At any rate we may expect something tangi- ble in relation to the matter which now absarbs general attention. Since the late unfavorable accounts from Madrid, the rumors of a contem- plated.insurrection in Cuba, and the order of the Secretary of the Navy (that all our men-of- war shall be held in readiness for active service), the public mind has been in a state of feverish anxiety, without pros pect of relief. All the information possessed has been laid before us; but it has appeared that the administration has been working in the dark. The Cabinet will now have some- thing definite to work upon, and the people have a right todemand from the administration | and from Congress speedy, prompt, bold and decided action. We have a right to demand full and ample redress from Spain—we have a right to demand that, hereafter, diplomatic power shall be vested in the Captain General of Cuba—we have a right to demand that our merchants shall be treated with the same consi- deration at Havana as at any other port in tbe civilized world. The signs of the times indicate that a radical change is about to take place in Cuban affairs. The negotiations are said to have been con- ducted with a degree of promptness unparal- leled in the history of Spanish diplomacy, and their results cannot fail to be of the highest interest. The public curiosity is exeited, and | we may expect that it will be allayed in part by very important news soon to arrive from the national capital. Let us have it at once, The people have been in doubt long enough, and {t is cheering to know that there is a pros- pect of some light at last. } Tur Henaip ann ove Two Cexr Corevro- ranms—A Lrrrte roo Fast.—We notitied the public, last week, that from and after Monday (yesterday) they might prepare for the poasi- ble advance in the price of the Henan to three cenis a copy. Our two cent cotemporaries had heen urging us to this advance—they were anxious to adopt it—they were not paying ex- penses--it would be advantageous to all par- | tics; but of course they conld not move in the matter without the Herann—they can do nothing in a great business movement without the Henanp, Well, in making our announcement last week, it was rea- sonable to expect that our two cent neigh- bors would come up tothe mark. But they did no such thing. On the contrary, they no- tified the public, accompanied with their cus- tomary slang, that though the Heratp was to be raised to three cents, they would continue to hold on at two, and would be teady to sup- ply all orders from the dissatisfied subscribers of the Heraup. The junior Seward organ went so far yesterday as to strike off ten thousand extra copies to meet the expected extra denmnd for it. But, in the expressive language of the newsboys, “ they got stuck.” The ten thousand extra were waste paper. The next time our | Seward organs attempt to trade upon our capi- tal, they will be apt to exercise a little more | caution. When the Henan is raised to three cents, it tion capable of working off twenty-five or thir- ty thousand sheets an hour, or raise the price of the Huratp, for otherwise we shall be over- wWaclmed by our subscribers. For the present, however, we shall continue to do our best to supply them all with the best and the cheapest paper in the world, under our existing arrange- ments. Our neighbors, therefore, need not strike off any extra copies of their papers until we are ready to give them permission to do eo. Wedo not desire to inflict upon them any wasteful expenditure of the raw material. It is a cash article. Jurumy’s Concurts—Fiest APPEARANCE OF Mur. Wat- Lace Boucaxis.—M. Jullien gave his two hundredth con- cert in America last evening,at Castle Garden. The spa- cious edifice was filled, and many ladies were obliged to stand during the performance, every seat being occupied at an early hour. It is estimated that five thousand per- sons were present—very much the largest audience that has been present during this season. The audience was brilliant and fashionable one, assembled to do honor to the gifted prima donna, Madame Wallace Bouchelie, who made her first appearanee at these concerts. She sang an arietta from Meyerbeer’s new opera, “L’Etoile du Nord,” and the ballad of ‘Black Eyed Susan.’? When she appeared on the stage, Mme. Bouchelle was greeted with a most enthusiastic welcome. She was in excellent voice, and sang the sparkling music with charming effect. The arietta is one of the most delicious bits of musie in the whole operatic repertoire, and peculiarly suited to the sweet and flexible organ of Mme. Bouchelle. She will sing it again this evening, and asit is really a piquant novelty, none of our musical readers should lose this opportunity of hearing it. and advertisements for any editien Naw Youx Hznac will be received at the following te Barope — Lavearoot.

Hoboken was nelected by the festive gathering for the scene of thelr merry-making; but on this occasion they did not assem- bie in the Elysian Fields, to them so replete with unplea- sant reminiseences. Vauxhall Gardens was very properly chosen in preference; and as the price of admission was trifling, they were thronged from morning till night. ‘The acene was most animated—here, under the shade of thore trees and awnings, were pleasaut little pic nic par- ties, discussing the contents of plethoric baskets, or laughing at the jests of some privileged joker; while there, in the centre of the garden, Wannermacher’s band played the airs of the fatherland, reminding the listeners of the home of their childhood: Another part of the garden was occupied by a miniature shooting gallery, into which the aspiring marksman was admitted on the payment of eighteen cents, for which he had the privilege of tpking twelve shots cither at the Genin has the Pleasure of ani on Thursday, 26th inst., he wi'l issue his summ for 1864.

No words were spoken, but if the tongue was silent, its place was supplied by certain missives called billets dour, which passed with a rapidity between them that would have tbrown the telegra ito the shade. A | a taowrd of the gerbund was present, consisting of the following societies :—Lorsley Mamerchor, Rheiniscl Sangerbond, Leiderkranz, and Schillerbund. These so- cie' have been organized solely for the instruction of their members in vocal music; they are, in fact, the same as the singing societies which are to be found in every town and village in Nae On this occasion, a song of salutation to the new ban- ners! of the Leiderkranz and the Rheinischer Sanger- bund, was sung by the societies, and a brief address made by Mr. Weiner, who spoke as follows :— Tam here,eald he, fo speak, not in aceordance with the first arrangements, but to fill the plsce of another. Mr. Firsch, who was invited to speak in honor of the fing, is absent, on aceount of sickness, and I am called upon in his stead. This is a free country—free to nll classes and all creeds, and defended by strong arms of its adopted as well as by its native born citizens. And al- though our festal songs to-day, bring back to us all our affection rehire eee thas does not : ny least lessen our our ado) country.

While, therefore, we would sacrifice our lives in our loyalty for the institutions of this, great ee and the maintainance of her liberties, yet to do this it is not necessary that we should entirely for- get the land of our birth, suifering under the despots who rule her. The time must cume when Germany will be free, and then the song of liberty, which can now only be heard in this free land, will be ‘sung in the cottage of the peasant in feclings an independent sovereign and “ every inch a king.’?
