The lumbermen of Maine, ‘the tobacco and sngar growers, and several other Important interests, object to the treaty. Moreover, ‘the proposal that the United States treat separate- W with the different provinees is in itself an ebjection not easily io be got over. It is believed Mat the Senate will insist upon Great Britain making the provisions of the treaty’applicable to all ihe colonies as well as thé mother country or reject the whole affair, We publish ander the telegraphic heat an address of the anti-Nebraska members ef Congress to the people of the United States. We shali, probably, take occasion to express our views at loagth on this movement to-morrow. In the House several communications were re- eeived from the President, inclading one asking an appropriation «f ten million dollars to fuldll treaty stipalations with Mexico. It was referral to the fommittee of Ways and Means. Toe provisions of the ireaty require the payment to Santa Anna of seven iuillion dollars on its ratifeation, and also provides that the ratitications shall be exchanged by the 30th inst., ng but nine days for delibe- ration, including the investivation of the select eommiitee to he appointel ut the snggestion of Mr. Benton. There is no doubt but Santa Anna i greatly in want of funds—indeed, in the express phraseology of the small fry blacklegs, he is reg: - Jarly “cleaned out’’—and theretore it is that the House is called upon to supply the “ sinews” at the shortest notice. A report from the minority of the esommittee on the superintendency of the national armories, favorable to continuing the employmeut of military officers in those establishments, was or- @ered to be printed. The greater part of the ses- gion was consumed in discussing the proper course to pursue relative to the disgraceful qnarre! between Messrs. Churchwell and Collum on Tuesday. Both gentlemen apologized for their conduct, and the affair will probably pass over, as others of similar eharacter have heretofore, without any further no tice Leing taken of it. In the Senate yesterday the Committee on Com- merce reported that there existed such a diversity ‘of opinion a3 to the expediency of aiding now the st of a ship canal around the Falls of Niagara, and also as to the constitutionality of the forms of auld proposed, that they could not agree upon a bill. ‘They were, therefore, discharged from the farther sonrideration of the subject. The bill providing Yor the payment of the creditors of Texas was re- eommitted. The Insane Land bill was discussed by Mr. Toucey in the negative and Mr. Bell on the af- Gnmative sides of the question. Mr. Seward’s pro- ject to prohibit American yeasels trading betwoon the Spanish West India Islands and the coast of Africa was laid on the table. A Fill proposing a new steamboat inspection district on the Pacific #oast, ond snspending the law compelling the use ef alloy in the constriction of steamboat boiler: anti] March next, was passed. After the adoption of sundry amendments to the bill organizing the naval service, it was passed by a vote of twenty Tour to cleven.

The administration party in New’ Hompshire experienced adisdstror 3 check yesterday, Three bal- lottings for @ United States seuatorwere held, the result. of which in given under the tetegraphiv head. The cpshot was that a number of the Pierce domo- crats, finding they ould not eleot”thcir candidate, after an exciting debate, yielded te the force of cir- cumstances, and voted for au indefinite postpone- ment ofthe subject. Seven democrats were absent, and a@ reconsidera‘ion was moved—pending which the Honse adjourned—in order, perhaps, that another effort may be made. The anti Nebraska resolutions were also postponed. The Pierce men have been defeated in their efforts to eleet senators, in their choice of State printer, and will probably be impo- tent im their enteavors against tiie resolutions. So much for the administration in the home of the President. The News rom Eucope=The Ailied Forces Advancteg to the Relief of SiUlsiciaeRe- constructivn of the English Ministry, By this time it is probable that a bloody en- gagement has taken place between the Rus sians avd the allied forces, By the Canada we learn thai Marshal St. Arnaud had despatched seventy theusand men to the relief of Silistcia, and it was.oxpected that they would reach the fortress by the 10th or at furthest by the 1th of June. The importance of this position has naturally cnused great anxiety as to its fate, and from the tremendous force which the Russians had-concentraivd upon it there is reason to believe that it must have fallen be- fore the arrival of the troops scut to its relief. The Russians seem now determined to con- tinue their.advance, and their troops at Bu- charest have received orders to move on to the Danube. We may therefore expect to hear soon of something more decisive than the bom- barding of an almost defenceless town and the | capture of a few merchant vessels. ¥rom the Baltic ond Black Seas we haye no account of any fresh operations. Sir Charles Napier is, we presume, awailing the arrival of the promised feet of suall steamers before“ he attacks Sweaborg and Cronstadt, and Admiral Dundas is waiting to get his own steam up be- fore he attacks Sebastopol. There are reports, as usual, of a disposition on the part of Russia to propose an armi through the medium of Austria, and also of an intimation on the part of Prussia te the formar Power that she will do well to comply with the invitation of Austria to quit the Principalities, The lesser German States he Swe prodicted, assumed an equivocal and rustfal position towards Austria and Prussia, and the result of the convention at Bamberg is likely £o lead to subsidiary complications almost as embar- rassing as that of which Vienna has bean the | theatre. The partial reconstruction, which nounced as having taken place in the British Cabinet, is not likely to alter in any material respeyts its general principles or policy, the changes that haye been made having been oe- casioned solely by the ereation of a new mir- isterial office, which was called for by the in- creased pressure of business in the War Depart- ment. By a strange anomaly, the origin of which it would be dikicult to account for, the duties of Seeretary of War had been hitherto combined with those of the Colonial Secretary, aud the Duke of Neweastle, the incumbent of the two offices, found him-elf’ so over- whelmed by the multifarious and frequently inconsistent requirements of oth, that it wis found nee ry to relieve him by dividing them and appointing two dis- iincl ministers to discharge them. Tt was believed by most people, that when this altera- tion tock place Lord Palmerston would be transferred from the ome Office to the new | post of Minister of War, for which his energy and long previous experience so eminently i is an- | | | qualitied him; but the Duke of Neweastle has | display » much capacity and zeal in his | Madaxemont of the department sinee it has been cntrneted to his care, aud has readcred himself co popular with both branches of the service, that it was uot thought advisable to vemove bi Suother cousideration which no doubt bad its iottuence in determining the go. vermment to continne him at the head of the department was that of bis being so mucha younger man than Lord Palmerston, At the commencement of « possibly tedi and = protracted = war, duration — of which it is impossible to caloulate, it was obviously inexpedient to appoint the latter to apost, tie onerous and harrassing duties of which wilhotanding his well kno e- tite for Work, must soon break down a man of cod years. The English government exercised x wise di ou in not consulting th eral feeling which wa expressed in favor of appointing Lord Palmer- nto the new office, and the latter showed hoth i taste and prudence ia not pre is own nomination to it. The Duke of Neweastle, the new Minister of War, better known as the Karl of Lincoln, be- longs to the political school of the late Sir Rob- ert Peel, and was one of that small but devoted hand of rising youog stateemen who continued faithful to his fortanes after his free trade measures caused the defecation of the great body of the conservative party. Although not pos- sesved of | villiant talents as aa orator, the Duke is an able speaker, and his views on political questions are in general marked by patriotic earnestne # and great practical common sense. j organization of another invadieg expedition, Vie ordeal, and only rose the higher for it in genesal estimation. Trenomination of Lord Jovn Rus:ell to the Presidency of the Council, in plac: of Earl Granville, is not ach nge to which ony signi- fiorney is tobe. ttached. His previous position of a member of the cabinet without office was suther an anomalous one for a tatesman who ‘id most of the Parliamentary work of the gov- ernment, and whose character and infiuence imparted that weight and consideration to its measures which Lord Aberdeen and Sir James Graham would have faile! tocommand. His assumption of the office of President of the Council is, we presume, intonded to still fur- ther fortify the position of the Premier, which had been sadly shaken by the feeble and vas- cillating course which he so long pursued with regard to Russia. Sir George Grey has again succeeded in en- sconeing himself in the Colonial Ottice, not- withstanding the dissatisfaction to which his former mismanagement of its aflairs gave rise. The Greys and Elliotts are the political leeches of the English bedy politic. Onee they have tasted of the spoils there is no shaking them o%, A-short discussion had taken place in the Houee of Commons on the subject of the Cuban slave trade, but owing to the confused wording of the telegraphic despatch, it is impossible to arrive with any clearness at the facts. We must. therefore await the arrival of the mails before we can tell whut the precise nature of the doc- ument was that Lord John Russell laid before the House. It is stated that six Spanish war steamers instead of four are to’ be sent to Cuba, and that they will take out 6,000 additional men. Tur Copa Q ton—Trt COMMISSION 10 Spaus—War orn no War.—We publish, among other things, this morning, touching our foreign affairs, a suggestive article fron the Richmond Enquirer on the subject of the proposed com- mission tq Madrid to help ont Mr. Soulé with his Cuban negotiations. The Enquirer isa flexible organ of the Kitchen Cabinet at Wash- ington, upon most questions of any importance»; but upon this Cuba question it kicks in the traces, and is impatient of delay. It thinks that Mr. Soulé, sheald, i? he can, bring the Cuban controversy to a peaceful or warlike conclusion, in a reasonable time, and that he should not to be disturbed in the business, To this ond, the more quieily and modestly the negotiations are conducted the less will be the mortifiealion of the country and the disgust and contempt of the Mlibusteros.

Tae Smrte Tarrre—faw Last Prrvcice Turown Overnoarp.—When in December last Mr. Guthrie developed before mankind his pro- posed tariff, the frait of a life’s meditation and profound financial study, it was found even by those who were in favor of a reduction in the revenue, and who advocated it on that ground, that in every other respect the Secre- tary’s lucubration was a heap of absurdities, Some « bserved that many articles which every one, not excepfing the Secretary, thought were taxed at too high a rate in the tariff of 1846, were taxed higher still in this new project; others remarked that many articles which could well afford a duty of five or ten per cent to the knowledge and satisfaction of every one, the Secretary included, were, without any ap- parent motive, proposed to be admitted free. We might quote many instances, but shall merely refer to one or two. Lead, in bars and pigs, a raw material, pays now twenty per cent; the Secretary, in couformity with the general ideas, thought this duty too high, and he proposed that it should b2 raised to trventy- five per cent. Watches and watch m terials are articles of luxury not manufactured here. Well, caleulated as a source of revenue, they pay now ten per cent, and form a somewhat important item; the Secretary thonght, as every one else, that ihey could well bear that raie of duty, and he then proposed to have thom admitted free. The motives of such coutra- dictions are worthy of the attention of the mo- ralist as well as of those who have maie a par- ticular study of political economy. There was a principle to which all considerations ought to have yielded, and ihe Seeretary of the Trea- sury knew it. That principle was simplicity. Simplicity had been intreduced on a large seale in our foreign appointments and diplo- matic habits; it had superseded all other con- siderations for our greater welfare at home and our greater glory abroad. The effect of a simple tariff to regulate the revenue and the finances of the country, could not be but equally beneficial, according to the views then entertained by the government. The Svcre- tary of the Treasury tnerefore resolved to di- vide the whole tariff, with the exception of brandy and liquors, in twe classes, free articles and dutiable ones, all ef these latter to be liable to the same duty of 25 per cent ad va- Jorem. Lead, watchos, a6 all articles which un- der the tariff of 1816 pay 20, 15,10 or 5 per cent., should therefore be elassed either under the head of 25 per cent., er that of free goods, for simplicity’s saké, This simple system found many admirers. The letter of an appraiser in the Boston Custom House, which is on file at the Treasury Department, extolled the system to the skies, on the ground that it would give Ro cause of misunderstanding between impor- ters and Custom House officers as to the rate of duty chargeable on dutiable goods! The truth of the assertion is evident. Others contended that the sysiem was still too complicated, that two.classes were one too many. Some simple men, more simple than the administration, more royolist than ihe king, proposed that there ehontd be but one rate of duty on all ar- ticles of importation, so loag as any duty should be found required for purposes of reve- nue, and that this duty should be fifty dollars per hundred pound weight—tet it be brandy, ostrich feathers, diamonds or barley. But the tarig question, whatever may he its importance to the country at large, was not much thought of at Washington. The Nebras- Ka, question afforded more food for = ay and Buncombe speeches, and soon absothed all ather topies, We adinired the consistency of the administration in proposing thie simple system, in spite of its doficiencies in some respects. We knew that governments | want firmness of principle just as much ag in- dividuals, and we had at last found the princi- ple which General Pierce had adopted as th basis of his government for the balance of bh term inthe White House. This principle was simplicity—simplicity abroad as at home—sim- plicity every where and forever. tis due te the administration to state thot they have carried this principle of action far- iber than any other they have adopted, and stuck to if a longer time. They now abandon it in aiding to put forward a new tariff, divided into nearly as many rs that of 1846. We shal! examine with what chanees of suecess this new scheme appears.
