LATE PROM BCROPR. Py the arrival of the America at Halifax we wre In possession of three days later intelligence from Euope. There are but few features of interest in the advices which she brings, snd these relate prin” cipally to the position likely to be taken by the Eiu- ropean Power who have not as yet declared them: | selves.

The political sympathies of Piedmont, and its territorial position as regerds France, naturally incliue it toward’ the cause of the ellies; and but de ce de .ts course under the pressure of the a in: fluences that have no “oubt bean brought te bear on it. Wanover has clared against letters of marque, and Austriawill follor her example.

We have frriher det the bombardment of Odesea, which go terhow that akhough a great deal of damage was demo the af- fair was far trom being desisive. The Russians are Btoted to have fons with great beavery. It is added that the combineé sqnadrons Wave for tue Presert abandoned the intention of attacking Se bastopol. The report brought by the Franklin as to the steamship seen on the-?lst April bye Rritish vessel, and which was though’ to le the Cltyef Glasgow, is repeated, with the: addition that “the steamer was stecring north, byt altered her course towards the ship and immedietely disappeared.” It ii ised that the vesecl seen alongside of her, and ch etecred away seuth, took off her passengers. The Bank of England advancing the rate of in- terest to 54 per cent. caused a slight stringency in the money market, but without mateially affecting ‘the price of consols, which ruled at 87] to 88. Cot- ton had declined a fraction, but bread stalls and pro- visions were firm at a slight advance. AFFAIRS IN CALIFORNIA, The arrival of the steamship North Star yesterday placed us in possession of California papers, by which we aro enabled to give the details of more than two weeks later news from that region. The intelligence is very important.. The account of the arrost of M. Dillon, the French consul at San Fran- cisco, is contirmed, and the exeitement caused by it was, it appears, so great as.to be rear lealing to a serious riot. ‘This gentleman had been requested to atiend court in order to give evidence against the Mexican consul,.whose trial was still proceeding; bret declining to do so, under the plea that under the consular convention he was exempted from appe ing 2s a Witness in judicial procepaings. Judge H man is ment to compel his attendanc protesting agains: a da writ of ati Alter formally this step, in the presence of a number of his friends, | k proceeded on bi to the coart with the Unite. States Marshal a tration Marshal, gave orders who caweto his nce, ta fire upon whoever atten pted to impede the process of the court. This | threat lad the desired eieet,and the remainder of the | proceedings passed off in comparative qnictness. | M. Dillon, it seems, Tecls his official dignity so auch wounded by his being compelled to submit to the jurivdiction of our courts that he has seen fit to Jower the national flag at the Conswate, declaring that it shall not be hoisted again until he receiv: instructions from his government. on the subject. He ‘has placed himself and his countrymen in the meanwhile under the protection of the ish flag. We give an account of the sinking of the bark Walter Claxton, by which sad event some thirteen more human beings found a grave inthe waters of the Pacific, with a voble vessel fora coffin, The new clipper ship Golden Fleece, whick made a fine passage from this port to San Franciseo, after dis- charging and taking or board a cargo tor the East Indies, was beset upon by misfortune and was not permitiedto clear the harbor. She strack a rock while going-ont of the bay, sunk, and became a total wreck. Thus carly has Oregon commence’ the re- cord of steamboat explosions. An account of one of the most disastrous accidents of the kind will be found in the news. We cording the.extracrdinary quick passage made from this port to San Francisco by the clipper ship Flying Clond. She has again outstripped herself, ard beat her previous time by a day. The mining news is also very interesting, aud it will be seen that the miners are in the fall enjoyment of productive claims, the evidence of which will be found ia the million and @ half of gold dus' ch was shipped for the Atlantic States on the 1st instant.

AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. It¥ill be veen by our telegraphic despatches from Wat ington that the treaty agreed upon by the Seerctary of State and the British Minister not only iné'udes the adjustment ef the fishery questio’ also provides for reciprocity of trade with the Nor | American colonies. The principle is exter oll the natural products of cach conntry, with the exception of coal, tobacco and sugar, and it is thonght the first named article will lik cluded. Great Britain has aoqu! | but with the important proviso that the col | also agree to them. There are several insuperable | diMeulties in the way of the acceptance on the part | of the Senate of these proposals If coal | cluded in the list of free article will sprin from that interest, and the exclu | of tobacco will insure the objections of th | from thove States of which it forms the grevt « Ther mortover, aple. a well-founded belief that the es of the gov. are usurping the legitimate fenctions of slettwe branch in this busi These @ scem suiflicient for our opinioa ; bat the of the lower provinces, especially those moat deeply interested in the fishe e by no means cesy to reconcile, and alreeéy Newfound- | ernme | the Ie reason, objed 5 for along period the settleme nt of ‘the latter, b t inthe mean- time the hordy mariners engaged in that important braneh of commerce should not he neglected. As yet nething bas trandpived since the arrival of the mroesenger feom Madrid regarding the dif suk ties with Spain except the confirmation of the Mrs Soulé in bringing about an ble setticment of the difficulties, and a proclamation against fili- dneters is to be issued. It is to be hoped that this rumor will prove unfounded, for» more humiliating position than that our country would oceupy in the event of euch a proposal being carried into effect cannot well be conceived. The-temporising policy pursued torards Spain by the last administretion might fiad an apology in the delicate position of the then acting President, but the present incumbents An office have no such justification. However, as ‘ve have Jong since ceased to expect anything good of them, we shall not be disappointed if the-ruamor should prove true. The arrival of the Minister from Hondoras has ereated an imnmence furor at the capital. @ur cor- respondent furuishes some important informetion re- lative.to the matter, which we commend to the.at tention of our readers. CONGRESSIONAL. In the Senate yesterday an interesting debate occurred upon the Africanization of Cuba, in which Mevers. Benjamin, Clayton and Seward took part, Tho latter, in the course of his remarks, stated that “we are expecting the arrival of an officer prepared to treat on all subjects whatever between: this coun, tryand Spain.” The Nebraska bill was taken up, and upon a inotion to strike out the provision al- lowing foreigners to vote and hold office in the Ter- ritori an animated debate ensued.

AFFAIRS IN THE CITY. Fight of the crew of the American ship Calhoun were convicted yesterday of mutiny, and sentenced to two years imprisonment in the penitentiary. Six seamen of the American ship Columbia have been examined before Commissioner Nelson for a similar offence, and committed for trial. James Allen, stewerd of the packet ship West Peint, was com- mitted by Mr. Nelson ona charge ef.stabbing the cook.of that vessel.” The trial of Aaron Jackson for the murder of Francis Johnston, was commenced yesterday in the Court of Oyer and Terminer. Both the parties are negroes, and the alleged crime was committed in a dance house in Anthony street. The trial will pr $ bably occupy the. whole of to-day. @ur report is crowded out. Common to good brands of State flour advanced yesterday about 12h¢. per barrel. Corn also a-§ vanced to Se. per bushel, for all in good sound shipping order. Wheat was also firm, with sales of prime white Gennesse a 240c. and white Canadian in bond at 204c. Cotton closed steady, with pretty free sales for export. The United Liberal Soeicty (universal democrats) met last night at Pythegoras Hall, and transacted a variety of business referring to the populating by emigrants of Nebraska-Kansas, the Cuban Athe navm, State and Federal policy, and the cavse of democracy in Ohio, and everpayhere e ener Jose Barr has arrived at Washi aud may be e in a few deys. an important despatch from corr den nor Barrundia.

It is ramored that the administration in- tend despotching a special commissioner to assist ledge oF the power, re resources a) commorstal | advantages of our country. This will open the | wey to annexation. Now, what is there to prevent this union be- tween Honduras and the United States. By | the Clayton and Bulwer treaty—which was am vement between the United States and Eng- land providing that neither of those couatrics | should cet up or estsblish colonial goverameats ja Central America—an opportunity was given | for France to come in and make the arrange- ment a tripartite one. There was no pabl announcement to the effect that France had | accepted orre‘ected this proposition, bat there | may have been some private understaadiag be- tween the high contracting partics that she considered herself bound by the same obliga- | tion. Let us new see how this compact has been observed by England. Did she give up her protectorate on the Mosquito coast? Did she resign the vagabond king of that interesting monarchy to the teader mercies of his shirtless subjects? Not a bit of it. Dowuing street | tactics were superior to those of Washington; and hy means of a private protocol—which no- body had previously heard ef, and the validity of which has never been acknowledged by the United States—she continued to exercise her sway over the Mosquito kingdom as if no | treaty had-ever been made. This violation of the treaty would be sufficient for all practical purposes, but we have to record o still mere flagrant breach of faith, In the Bay of Honduras are several small | islands; these islands “are clearly portiens of the-territory of Honderas, England has seizel | them, and claims dominion over them. There is no protection about this—no protocol, public or private, to justify it—it is a usurpation of another’s property—it is stealing. Honduras is weak—-England is strong. Honduras has something which England desires to possess, |-and England takes it. This is in accordance with the practice of English diplematists for the \Nast two hundred years, After these violations of the Clayten andB ¥ wer treaty by England, the United States be- | came absolved from any further observance of it. and this republic stands now in the same po- | sition with regard to Central Amorica as in the | matter of Cuba when Mr. Everett rejected the | tripartite treaty. England has‘led the way by a piratical seizure of Ruatan island and its de- pendencies, and now, when Honduras is ready to jump into our arms, shall we not open them to receive her? The Englishend French Minis- ters may humbug Marcy, and he may be over- whelmed with the original idea of doing some- thing really beneficial to the.country; but it is evident that he has now a glorious opportunity to bring about the speedy and peaceful anacxa- tion of Honduras to the United States. Such.an act would be mutually beneficial to both coun- tries, Honduras is prepared for it. Nine-tenths of the people of the United States, when such occasions as this shall offer, are in favor of ex- tending our institutions and our constitution over the whole of North America. There is nothing, to say the least of it, to prevent the speedy and peaceful acquisition of Honduras, unless it be the stupidity and imbecility of the administration. In a previous article on:this subject we gave a condcused epitome of the present condition of Honduras, and of the great benefit which would result from the infusion of Anglo-Saxon enterprise into the heart of Central America. The movement has already commenced, and the preliminary surveys for a railway across Honduras, connecting the Gulf of Foaseca ou the Pa and the harbor of Porto Cabello on the ibbean coast, have been made. 1 harbors are among the very best in antral Anierica, having, it is seid, tea fathoms of wa- ter on the bars. Should this railway be built it would give us the most direct and speedy communication with California and the Sand- wich Islands. ‘the Gulf of Fonseca is nearer to San Francisco than Panama by some twelve hundred miles, and severel hundred nearer than San Juan del Sur; while, for railway purposes, Honduras is superior to New Granada or Nica- ragua, as the country is mostly table land, well timbered, well watered, and healthy. This railway must he built, ifsnuilt at all, by Ameri- can cash and American enterprise. If Hondu- ras were annexed to the United States, it might eatily be finished in two.or three years. New York could do it alone in that time. It seems that the case eams up thus :—Hon- duras desires to be annexed to the United States; such a union would be mutually beneficial; England cannot interfere, beeause she has al ready violated the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, and that treaty is a nullity as far as we are concerned. There is the whole affair in a nut- shell, and we now desire to see what Marcy willdo, The Nebraska question is settled—the constitution has been maintaiued—we have passed through another “crisis,” and the coun- try is safe.
