FROM WASHINGTON. Under the telegraphic head may be found the pro- elamation of President Pierce against the filibuster- ing expedition «which he says the government is informed is now organizing for the invasion of the island of Cuba. The terms employed do not differ materially from those previously used in similar productions. It may be regarded, we suppose, as ne of the peace-offerings propitiatory of (ic Bpanish government. The antizipated bellicose meesage on Cuban affairs by the Executive was not went to Gongress yesterday, and as both houses have adjourned for some days the public is forced to be satisfied with receiving by instalments the programme of the administration policy in these im- portant matters. GUNPOWDER EXPLOSIONS. ‘We have but recently recorded two terrible cx- plosions of powder mills, accompanied by a melan- eholy destruction of human life. One of these accidents occurred at or near Hartford, Conn., and ‘the other at Saugerties, on the Hudson river. By the latter seven Germans, workmen in the mill, were blown into fragments, pieccs of their limbs being found at a distance ot two miles from the scene of the disaster. But the climax of the catas- tropes ecouried yesterday morning, when five to: of powder, belonging to the well-known firm o! Depont & Co., exploded in the streets of the city o. Wilmington, De ering death and desire wr Was ¢ a hich were of co; her with four o ri persous are ki » dwelling of Bi 4 and six F i nd some seventy-five othe: bidly injured. The inhabitants ot Wilmington had, from the frequency of the explo- sions at the establishment of the Messrs. Dapont, Become comewhat accustomed to such atfaira; but the event of yesterday surprised them, and for a time it was believed by those not near the locality ef the accident that an earthquake had occurred, 40 fearful was the concussion. It is not yet, and pro- batly nevel will be, ascertained how the accident happened. Te annihilated, t fifteen hors gerourly w aix private re FYROM MEXICO. Later acconnts from Mexico have been received, and the news may be fuund elsewhere in to-day’s paper. All sorts of festivities were going on at the capital in honor of Santa Anna’s alleged victory, but which might with more propriety be termed a providential escape. It is, however, certain that he succeeded in making his way back without being overwlitimed, and that circumstance is seized npon by the government for the occasion of a great up~ roar. While all thisis going on for the amusement of the ignorant populace, conspiracies are beiug hatched in every direction. Of course the mo. stringent measures are adopted to suppress ever sign of discontent. MISCELLANEOUS. dred dollars were collected among the audience to defray any expenses thet may be incurred ia the prosecution of unlicensed tavern keepers who may be detected violating the law. The Newest Political Movements of the Day. The breaking up #f some of the old par- ties, and the disorganization of others, on ac- count of the treachery and imbecility of their leaders, give an opening for the formation of new parties, with novel principles, novel tac- tics and novel platforms. And it now appears that the present opportunity is to be improved to the fullest extent. We have heretofore given a full history of the native American party; and from that statement it may easily be seen that the native party grew up on account of the corruption and demoralization:ef the old parties; and the temporary success of the natives in this city when James Harper was elected Mayor, grew out of the disgust which a great majority of the voters experienced at the conduct of ‘their former political leaders. This is precisely the case at the present time. The to- tal defeat of the whig party in 1852. when General Pierce was elected Presi- dent, gave to that party a blow from which it has never recovered. General Pierce has aban- doned all the old democratic principles, and he has been abandoned by the democratic party. So the utter demoralization and dissolution of the democratic party, and the Waterloo defeat of the whig party, have left a large number of people without any party at all. Ithas opened the way for new parties, The opportunity thus given has not been ne- glected. We find two distinct parties now iu the field, each claiming the favor of voters at the ensuing election. The first of these organiza- tions is the temperance or tee-total party, aud the second is produced by the revival of the old native party ander anew name. The tempe- rance or tee-total men have founded their party entirely upon cold walter principles, and their professed object is to bring about the enactment of a law making the sale of iu- toxicating liquors a criminal o> penal offence. This is a very excellent idea as far as our social welfare is concerned, but one of doubtful expe- | originated. T ere Nothing order, as it is called. It is, however, a fact that this or “er 1s dit terly opposed to Irish and German naturalized citizens, Roman Catholics especially ; in fact, the order is hostile to all persons of foreign birth; no m tter where they may have can b: no doubt that the native citizese entitled to a vote, outnumber the n.turalized citizens— the proportion is three natives te on» fore gar. This fact shows conclusively that a combined movement on the part of the natives would carry the city by a sweepiag majority, at any election, and produce comsiderable effect on the State. According to all accounts, if the Know-Nothing perty continues to increase as it has heretofore, it will number in the city one hundred or a hundred and fifty lodges, and enrol on its lists thirty thousand or forty thousand persons entitled to vote. This would give them the city. The only party which will be found to make a strong fight against them will be the temperance men, and they will not be able te control many votes in the city,as they cannot bring to bear here the | same moral influences which they will find very effective in the country. There will bea curious and novel scene at the next election in this State. The democrats have two organizations, each of wh will act against the other. The whigs will be divided on the temperance question—ali the old organ- izations will lose much of their strength, and it seems highly probable that the new party will catch all the floating material, which will goto swell their vote to an extent that will surprise the old politicians. Among other curious events of the day, it reems that the Irish and German residents of this city have followed the example set them by the natives, and have-organized their secret political associations in every ward, npon the same general plan. The Irish are divided into two parties—one of which occupies Archbishop Hughes’ platform, and the members of the othor call themselvesYoung Irelanders. Among the ob- jects of the last named party are these: the in- corpération of Canada as part of this republic, a revolution in Englaad, and the liberation of Ireland. The Germans are chiefly agitated about their lager bier saloons,’ and are very much incensed at the idea that their liberty to drink as much of that beverage, and at any time and place, as they sce fit should be in any danger of restriction. Altogether, the position of parties in this State makes up a very curious chequer-board, and the oldest players may well be puzzled to solve the prvblems presented to them. What with the various organizations, sub- organizations, managing committees and com- mittees which cannot manage at all, political vuvieties, cecret orders, dismembered parties, and disgusted partisans, we have a battle pe- fore us which defies ordinary calculations as to results; at any rate, the events will be striking enough to command the undivided attention of the leaders at Washington, and prevent them from agitating the slavery question for a year or two to come. Tue Harp Sufi Conerrsstonan Appress Tota, Svasn Up or tae New York Dexo- cracy.—The address signed by Hon. James Maurice, John Wheeler, Jared V. Peck, Rufus W. Peckham, and Andrew Oliver, of the New York hard shell delegation who voted against th Nebraska bill, hes appeared in the nowspapers. If it were not eo long we should give it a place in our columns, The pith and swhstance of it, however, may be summed up in a few words They justify their votes against the Nebraska Dil on the following grounds :-— It was not the bill originally reported to the Senate. It was urged through by a tyrannical exercise of power diency when considered from a legal point of view. "The native organization is chiefly composed of old politicians from both parties, who are again struggling for supremacy, supported by young enthusiasts. Their first principle is op- position to the appointment of foreigners to any public office. This party has also gained a large number of adherents by exciting the old feeling of Protestant hostility against Roman Catholic principles and progress, At this moment both these new political combinations—the tee-total and native parties— are in a state of parturition; and they will owe their birth to the downfall of one of the old parties, and the utter corruption of the other— the latter calamity being brought about by the breaking up of the present administration at organization will probably have the great- est numerical preponderance. The tee-totallers We are still without any news from Europe. The steamship Arctic is now in her fifteenth day out from Liverpocl. Yesterday the examination in the fugitive slave case was concluded. The Commissioner has post- poned his decision until Friday morning. Not the slightest attempt at disturbance was manifested by the abolition'sis daring yesterday. ‘he meeting of the Anti-Slavery Convention in Boston has served as a sort of safety valve, whereby the accumulated vaporings of the fanaties pass off without any im mediately dangerous results. The coavention i+ represented to have been attended by an immense throng. The resolutions adopted go the who! figure, and are really models in their way. John P+ Hale and others addressed the assembly.

CONGRESSIONAL, The Senate yesterday adopted a resolution direct- ing taquiry as to the propriety of government be- stowing a pension on the wilow Batchelder, the officer killed while resisting the attack of the mob at Boston. The President's veto of the Insane Land bill was discussed elaborately by Mesers. Huunte. and Foot, the former in opposition and the latter jp favor'of the measure.

The on the part of the majority. On the 11th October, 1852, excepting those in govern- ment employ, there were only three white settlers in allof Kansas and Nebraska. Consequently, there was no necessity for such a hurry with the bill. The Indian titles are not extinguished im said Torri- tories. The new Territorial governments will confer additional patronage upon Gen. Pierce, and against this our :ve hard shells enter an explicit remonstrance. The bill violates the Baltimore democra*ic platfarm of 1862, and the Compromise measures of 1850, and Gen. Pierce Violates his inaugural. The dill is calculated to revive a m'sehievous agita- tion. President Polk, Pinckney, Douglas, Atchison and other democratic authorities, are Mrgely quoted to prove the Missouri Compromise a binding compact. ‘The five refractory hards declare that they have reason to believe that the repeal of the Missouri restriction ts but the first of a series of measures for building up» powerful Southern sectional party, to be headed by the Washington. Of the new parties, the temperance | President: And these are the reasons which they offer for voting against the bill. Cui fono? What is to follow? The soft shell Jeaters and the soft shell or. ans have still more violently taken natives, or Know-Nothings as they are now | the field against “ the Nebraska iniquity,” as called, will bring out their great strength in the cities and principal towns, The Know- Nothing organization made its first demoastra- tion during the last election, when it was stated that this party could command five thousand votes. in secret, and nothing was known of them ex- cept what might be gathered from the lips of some “leaky vessel’ who had been, unlackily for them, introduced into the mysteries of the order. Yet, at this time, the natives threaten- ed to derange the plans of both par ties, and almost defeated the election of one of the strongest men on thie whig ticket—Mr. Blant—the candidate for the office of District Attorney. The native candi- date, Mr. Shaffer, lacked less than a hundred votes of an election, and very few persons were aware that he was to be a candidate until the day of election. There are several native American orders—the Order of United Amori- cans, United Sons of America, Guard 0! Liber- ty, and so forth ; one of these orzanizations threw Mr. Shaffer overboard at the eleventh hour, and voted for Mr. Blunt. Since that time the whig and democratic leaders have been very much puzzled to ac count for the movements of this new party. It is stated that the order called the Know-Noth- ings has, ia this city, from sixty to one huo- dred lodges, and they are said to have enrolled from ten thousand te thirly thousand voters Their meotings are hekl in secret, the members are notified by means k agwn only to the initiated and their mode of eperatiegs is founded upon coe word—silence. By working ia this mryster’ manner they hope to be atte so to organize their forees as to carry every election, jn the city at least. In their private meetings, th very existence of which is uaknown except t thore persons who are entitled to be preseré they have long debates and. agitating 4's cursions as to the beet means to be adopted ia order to carry into effect the peealiar prisciples which they avow to cook, iher, but ney Their work was done entirely | brook—the nine hards and softs who vote: they term it; and where, then, are the New York democracy? Are Francis B, Cutting Mike Walsh, Thomas W. Cumming, Peter Rowe, Jobn J. Taylor, William M. Tweed, Hiram Wal- bridge, William A. Walker, and Theodore W* the bill—are they sufficiently strong to re-v. . nize and re-unite the New York democratic party upon the Nebraska platform? Are not rome of them high in favor with the adminis- tration, while others are dead against it? How, then, are they to agree upon a plan for reorganizing the party? The thing is out of the question. The party in New York is substuutiaily smashed up, knocked iato pieces, and gone to the dogs. The work com menced with the free soil spoils system of the administration has been beautifully accom- plished by the healing expedient of the Nebras- ka bill, Where the administration is next to turn up defies oli human calculation. But we know exactly what it has done for the triamph- ant. glorious, and uproarious New York demo- cratic party’ of 1852. ‘It has divided it, subdi- vided it, and left the fragments to eat up each other, Grand, gloomy, and very peculiar, exceed- ingly funny, and prodigiously perplexing, is the foggy prospect thus opened before us for our next November elections, There is no whig party, no demoeratic party, on the track. They are washed away, aad their loose mater! als, after floating broadcast upon the tide, like Uriftwood in a high freehet, will be found when the waters recede, high and dry, in mixed masees of rubbish, at the head of every islaud and projection of the shores of Salt river. The way is thus opened for the temperance pariy or the Krow-Nothings to sweep the State next fall, anless the auti-slavery movements of 8° ward and his allies and the Van Buren free voilers chould raily a grand national organiza- Son of both the old politicad parties to the the whig party is destroyed—that the demo- cratic party ie ‘destroyed—that the fragments of both are adsift—that they are beyond the reach of the administration, and that our ap- proaching Sate election will bea “free fight” between ‘he temperance party, the Know- Nothings, and the anti-slavery party, unless the Union and conservative men of all parties should take the field upon the broad platform of the constitution. The Baltimore platform, whig principles, the administration, and all such corrupt and exhausted coalitions, are ex- ploded and obsolete ideas. Hard shell mani- festos and soft thell resolutions are perfectly abeurd. We must have a reconstruction of parties upon the constitution and the new and progressive ideas of the age, or the outside factions of the day will sweep the State, pre- paratory to such a scrub race of abominations in 1856 ag will utterly demoralize the country and break up the Union. Tue Kansas AnD Nepraska Ewioration Scueme.—We perceive that a member from Miesouri has moved in the House of Represen- tatives in Washington for the establishment of a land office in the Territory of Kansas. This will meet the necessities of the immense emi- gration to that country, resolved upon by the anti-slavery societies; and perhaps, also, re- solved upon by the citizens of Missouri, with, or without their slaves. Let the office be established; for the Massachusetts five million anti-slavery emigration scheme appears to be working very successfully. And we admonish all those of the South who count upon getting Kansas as a slave State by the mere abstrac- tion of the repeal of the Missouri line, that it will not answer. The act of Congress leaves the question of slavery in Kansas to be settled by the people thereof. This is perfectly fair; and if the anti-slavery people outnumber the Southerners when the Territory shall ask for admission into the Union as a State, the South must expect to be turned out. That’s all, And perhaps in a single year this thing may be done, unless the South are disposed to fight out the question in Kansas, and get up their coun- ter-emigration societies accordingly. We desire to see a fair trial between the abolitionists and the hottest of the Southern secessionists in Kansas, and we should therefore like to see a powerful movement in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Miseis- sippi, and Arkansas, to send in ali their intract- able politicians y. the secession, nullification, and repudiation stripe into Kansas Territory, to confront the abolitionists of the North upon a common battle ground, face to face. Thus, with victory upon either side, in a fair contest, the country will be content; and if the two hostile elements destroy each other the Union will survive their loss, and their places can be readily supplied by better materials. Let the abolitionists, free coilers, and Southeru’seces- sionista go ont tagether ; and as the Cabinet is made up of about half-and-half, the Cabinet should join in the emigration on both sides. Gen. Pierce, with the Scarlet letter in one pocket and the Nebraska bill in the other, may take either side at his discretion. Kansas is the word now. Nebraska can wait awhile. Tue Warrr Exxcrion ww Brooxiyx.—The citizens of Brooklyn are to vote this day on the question of supplying that city with water by means of an aqueduct, which will conduct the water from certain streams on Long Island to the city. It is well known that Brooklyn is dependent at present on wells and cisterns for. the supply of the inhabitants with water, ia the tame manner that the city of New York was previous to the introduction of the Croton water. The question of introducing the Croton into this city was submitted to the vote of the people in the year 1835—nineteen years since —and carried by an overwhelming vote; and seven or eight years transpired before the joy- ful event of the introduction of the water waa celebrated by our citizens, Although Long Island abounds in copious streams of pure and excellent water for the use of’ men and animals, the idea of supplying the rapidly growing city of Brooklyn and vicinity with that indispensable element, from the sources of these island streams, was not brought forward until about ten years since, when Doc- tor E. F, Peck, then residing in Suffolk county, but now a citizen of Brooklyn, introduced the subject through the public press. The people of Brooklyn, however, were incredulous, and the late distinguished civil engineer, Douglass, made a report to the Common Council, in which he gave the opinion that the streams on Long Island would not afford a sufficient supply for Brooklyn. He therefore recommended a sup- ply from wells, the water to be elevated from a large number of such wells, to one of the hills in the vicinity, and distribated through the city in pipes. After the death of Mr. Douglass, the Brooklyn Common Council called on Wm. J. McAlpine, Esq., late State Engineer, to examine the subject, and he reported in favor of the plan of supplying the city from the streams in the Island, giving it as his opinion that water sufficient for the purpose was to be found in the streams in Kings and Queens counties. Surveys of those streams have since nm made, and the question is this day to be decided by the votes of the people of Brgoklyn, whether they will accept the propo sition to obtain their supply of water from this source. We do not enter into the various question ich have arisen respecting the speculations of individuals or coatractors, who may desire to benefit themselves, on this sub- ect, but presume the people of Brooklyn will endeavor to fully erstand the question be- fore they give their votes, w Lrqvor Sriiino 1s New York.—The Board of Excise has been sitting at the City Hall since the first day of May; applications for licences have been received from thirteen wards, and about two thousand licences have been grant- ed. It is a source of joy to all good citizens to know that the number of licences granted this year will be, at the present rate, oue-third less than the last.

The establishment has a the- atrical Heense. The first part of the entertainment is after the old style, but the second is a burlesque upon the ‘‘Connambula” of Bellini. It is done in three acta, with good seenery and costumes; the characters are sup- posed to be negroes—Amina is Dinah, Elvino is Gumbo, and so on, The language is not very witty, and the suc- cess of the burlesque is owing to the odd alternation of Bellini’s mupie with popular regro airs, the excellent style in whieh the music is sung, and the dash and spirit With which the affair is rattled off. The act drop is not down over two minutes, and in that time the stage is neatly set. The chorus is small, but very correct and effective. All the popular airs of the opera are pre- served, and given without mutilation. The lady who aings the music of Amina does it fairly, all things con- sidered. Her method might be improved, but her voice hes power enough, and the low notes are especially round and firm. Mr.G.S Buckley merits high praise for his rendering of “All’s Lost Now’? and ‘Still so gently.” He has a pure, high and sweet tenor voice, and his style in marked with taste and correctness. Mr. Percival has a good bass voice, and gave “As I View Now” in good style. R. B. Buckley was very funny as Lany Joe (Alisso), and the performance, altogether, was a pleasant one. The burlesque has been in existence for several years, we belicve, but it could not be done better than by the Buckleys. We have no doubt that it will amuse large audiences fer many nights. The per- 38, 2 38,6 formance is concluded at the usual hour, ten o’clock, Lecture on Chemistry, to Mutes, by Pro- fessor Doremus. Professor Doremus delivered a lecture on chemistry to anaudience of deaf mutes, in the lecture room of the Modical College, im Thirteenth street,-last evening. The audience, though not large, was very respectable, con- alsting mainly of mutes residing in the city, and a few of the pupils from the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in Fiftieth street. In the asylum a high class for the study of chemistry has been established, through the exertions of President Harvey P. Peet, and is eminently successful. The lecture last evening was the beginning of an effort to Dring this study before those beyond the influence of the ‘asylum, and who have never before had an opportunity to learn this science. At eight o’clock Profesvor Dore- mus commenced his lecture, the subject being ‘The Properties of the Different Gases.”” The lecturer spoke at length upon the nature of oxygen, nitrogen and hy- drogen—their powers and uses, their relations to air and water, and illustrated their properties by various experi- ments.
