That Mr. Souté has been for some time in close correspondence with the Spanish democrats—thas he afforded to several of their leaders a refuge at his em- bassy—and that the termination of the move- ment which placed artero in pdéwer disap- poisted bis hopes—are now almosé nowrious. Equally ce it is that Hspartero and his colleagues must have seen with deep coa- cern the machinations of a conspirator whose diplomatic position enabled him to plot against their governmént with perfect impunity. Whether be received a polite bint to try the waters of the Pyrenees, or resolved of his own accord to anticipate so disagreeable a message, we sball ktow hefore long. It matterslittle oa what provocation he deserted his post. The main fact is that Mr. Soulé, our Minister to Madrid, conducted himself towards the govern- ment to which he was averedited in so indis- creet a manner that he was compélied, before he hed been twelve months in office, to withdraw from the country. In this connection we'cannot forbear from re- ferring to the lauguage held by this journal nearly a year ago, when Mr. Soulé first arrived at Madrid. On the 20th November last, we pointed out the course which a man of Soulé’s cbarac'er would be likely to pursue. As will he seen by the article itself, which we republish clecewhere, We ventured to predict that he would, in the first place, seek a closer coance: tion with the royal famly than ambassadors nevaily erjoy. Failing to accomplish any po- litical end by this means, we supposed that he would “espouse the popular cause. + He will,” to quoie trom the article in question, “stimu late and fostera spirit of disaffection and revolt among the masses, and his warm heart will boil Oren s Trour FRAMCON!'S HIPPODROME, Madison Square Sques- WRIAN PEETORMANGES.

Florence, of Philadelphia, led off the speeches, which were in accordance with the principles do @lared at the previous meeting, the main feature being the removal of all Know Nothings from office. Bat although there was no sttempt siade to inter. rapt the proceedings, it was very evident that large number of the persons present dissented t them, ani immediately on an adjournment beiag Geclured another meeting was organized on rho Spot, at which spirited addresses were made in op Position to the very peculiar views of the anti-Know Not’ ings.

Stezmboat navigation has been closed between Cincinnati and Pittebarg since the Lith of July. A ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. The anniversary of the declaration of the French rev ublic of 1792 was celebrated yesterday by some of te French residents of our city, among whom was M>. Marc Caussidiere, the Perfect.of Po.ice in Paris in 1848, The celebrants proceeded on an excursion to Ststen Island. An account of the evenes and incidents is furnished by our reporter. COURT OF SESSIONS. Tn the Court of Sessions yesterday a motion was made to postpone the case of the Pevereliys tor areon, but the applicaton waa rjected by Judge Beebe. The prisoners’ counsel then announced their ée(ermiration to avail themselves of the privilege of peremptomly challenging forty jurors, and as tie panel was Lot sufficiently large the case went over to the next term, which commences on Monday week, done ail we raid he would, and with the suc cess which we supposed woald attead his ef forts. He courted Isabella and the camerara until it was obvious that nothing could be ob- tained in that quarter, He then turned to the demi crat-, and while Lord Howden was offer- ing bis sympathy to the const'tutionalists, with Esp»rtero at tueir bead, he was working body and soul tor the faction which sought to over- throw the movaichy in Spain. The revolution of last month did not half eatisfy him. He wanted more barricades: they were erected: but des- troyed by the troops. The ultra republican leaders were scattered; and M, Soulé, among the pumber, fled to Bayonne. Almost at the very time that he was makiug his escape, Mr. Daniel E. Sickles was leaving Lonoon for Madrid, with important despatches for the Minister to Spain. Those despatchescon tained a proposal from our government to loan to the revolutionary ministry a large sam of mouey to meet their preseat wants, on the security of Cuba, which was to be tacitly or expressly mortgaged for the repayment of the loan. When Mr. Sickles reaches Madrid be will find no one to receive his despatches; aud as it is probable that a large portion ofhis instruotions were verbal, there is some chasce that he will remain there, and on his own resyonsibility take the piace of M. Soulé. The Espartero Ca- binet would provably be glad to see the ex- change efficted; and as, for obvious reasons, it is desirable at the present moment that no ob stacles should be tbrown in the way of harmo nious negociations with Spsin, it isnot unlikely tvat the administration may confirm him in the post. MISCELLANEOUS. Aécyices from Havana to the 15th inst., one lay later han those previously received at this port, have ceme to hand. There is no news of importance. The ( repa:asions for the reception of Captain-Gene ra) Concha were going on actively. Tt will be recollected that some months since two Briti+h soldiers deserted from the garrison at Syd aey, Cap Breton, and made their way to Bostoa, where they were apprehended at the instivation of the Britieh consnl at that city, on the chacges of da- sertion aud larceny in robbing the military chest of a large sum ef money. Of the charge of desertion the court st Boston refased to take cognizance, bat both prisoners were committed to answer for the al leged charge of larcery. Yesterday one of them was tried end convicted, when an appeal was taken to the Sapreme Court of the United States on the point Tad for tue defence that it was not competent to Wy & prraon im this country for an offence commit tea in & foreign country. The question has excited a great deal of discnassion. A man named Cohen, of this city, and five otbers, svpiored to form part of an organized gang of thieves, were arrested at Cleveland, 0., yesterday, ebarjed with stesling silk. The new Mexican war steamer Santa Anoa, which left ch » port some days since bound to Vera Croz has put in at the Delaware Breakwater, in cons> qunce of some derangement in her machinery. She would proceed up to Philadelphia for repairs. Mr A. H. Reeder, Governor of the Territory ot Kannss, left Easton, Pa., yesterday, to enter upo the duties of his office. He is now in this city, whero ho will tarry until Tuesdsy next. STATE OF TRE MARKETS. Common brands of State flour were in light supply and unchanged yesterday, while medium and extra brands were lower by 12} to 25 cents per barrel, Southern flour was dull, and inferior grades wee above 25 centa per barrel lower. Wheat had « downward tendency, and one lot of white Genose: seid at $2, and another lot sod at rates slightly under that figure, Cotton was quiet, without quot able chaxge in prices. Pork was tolerab! active at $14 37 for mes:,and $12 for prime. Lar wold freely »t about lle. Sugars were in goo! demand, with tolerably foe sales at fal! prices.

The career of Soulé has not been worse, of course, than that of Borland; inveed, consideriag that the foily and intemperate zeal of the latter has already cost our trade a usefal seaport, and wiil here- after cost the Treasury several hundreds ot thousands, the Spanish blander has been the cheapest of the two. Bat how instructive a commentary upon the judgment of Pierce and Marcy does the conduct of both present. How can our other ambassadors hold up their heads, when all the world sees that one representative of the American people has. disgraced himself, by shielding a malefactor from justice, and in- stigating the destruction of an ianovent and de- fenceless town; and another has behaved himse't o shamefully that a sense of s Ipreservatio. obliged bim to fly the country whither he wa- sent? or, with this sample of the nominees o the Pierce administrati n, what can we expect of Mr. Spence, should circumstances call him ia- to action, of Mr. Belmont, of Mr. McLane, of Mr Seymour?

Tue way Our RatLroap CorPoraTions ARE Mayacep.—The meeting of the Cosnecticut stockholders in the New Haven Ra‘lroad, held on Thursday at the Metropolitun, has broughs to light some interesting and noteworthy fact. It appears from a statemeut obtaived from the President, that the who'e amount of real stock owned by eight directors is 195 shares out of 30,000. One of the directors only ovned ove sbare a‘ the time of the rast meeting, aud that bad been transferred to him for the purpose of en- abling him to be a director, Another owned no real stock at alt, but was elected on the strength of twenty shares of Schuyler’s spu- rious issue. The President pro tem. holds sixty hares, being the larg-st holder in the board: sud thus with power to defraud the community and the stockholders to the extent of milhous has only an interest of one five-yundreth part of the whole capital. What woo ier is it that cerporations should be mismanaged and robbed when men, whose interests are so slenderly identified with those of the stockholders aa this, are entrusted with entire control. Managers of corporations can only be chosen on one of two grouads: cither their ability makes it de sirable that their services should be secured aud in that case they should be paid serva its: or their interest in the adventure is so large that it affords stockholders a guarantee for their judicivus administration of the common concern. No officer chosen on any other grouad than these two can be expected to d» his duty. No man, for the sake of forty or filty shares in a concern of 30,000, will conse nt to give up his time gratuitously to manage it for the benefit of his aseociates. And when a share or-more are given to a man in order to enable him to become a director, and he accepts the office without remuneration, the presumption is over- whelming that’ he expects to make moaey out of the office in an underhand way. First CoNVICTION UNDER THE Fire Manswat’s AbMINisTraTion.— We have at length some tan gible fruits of the usefulness of the new city officer who was appointed a short time since with the title of Fire Marsha]. Martiu Ship ton, who was couvicted of arson the other day, would in all probability haye escaped had no tuch officer existed. We feel assured that this is only a beginning. That a lurge proportion of the fires which occur in New York are the work of incendiaries, no one would be disposed to deny: the difficulty has hitherto lain in the impossibility of detection, where fire so rapidly consumed all thut could have served as evi. dence of the crime. Every now aad then Pro- vidence has defeated the intention of the incer- diary, and then ample proofs of the plot came © light, in the shape of combastibles, matches charred wood, &. But for one case where euch basis for a prosecution could be found, « hundred occurred where the incendiary escaped without a tinge of suspicion. This era of impu nity now seems drawing to a close. Every day the examinations of the Fire Marshal render it more and more difficult for offeaders to escape. Before, the public and the insurance companic were satisfied with a vague verdict of accidenta} fire; now, some more definite canse for the de- struction of property must be shown, or a searching examination must be uodergone by all persons who may have been accessory to the arson. We trust we are not over sanguine in anticipating that the reform will not only tend materially to diminish the number of fires, but will have the effect of purging the community of some of its vilest m mbera. To achieve this most desirable end, however it is indispensable that the Court and the District Attorney should lend their cordial assistance to the Fire Marshal in prosecuting his ro- searches forthe guilty or the suspected. In comparison with miscreants who sei tire to their store or their house in order to defraud insur- ance companies, and thus waatonly d-strey property and jeopardise life, the scamps who pick a pocket or commit assaults in drunken fits are almost harmless. Z-al and energy, on tbe part of the prosecuting officer, ani a thorough determination on that of the Court to afford the Fire Marsha! every facility for attaining his object, are at the present momeat the only thing needed to cure, or at all events to mitigate one of the greatest evils under which New York bas labored.

T. is ounced on one of those old bgen # we eh charsa- terize the literature of theGerman people. The scenes pass in the feudal ceatle of the puissant Baron Blaifen- bach. The Baron (Mr. Blake) isa win -swil'n , pipe- smoking, roystering old chap, having the « uerdiamship of two cousins, Angels (Mrs St-phens) acd albert Ehren stetp, hia nephew, (Mr. Lester) The property of his wares remain in bis control, and is to ve forfeited iw case of their enverin, into matrimonial ypeculat o « witnout his consent. The Baron, se we hav- ntimated, was ad- dicte¢ to wine and jol'y living and h+ moreover— when the piece op ns—sddic'ed to something else. He bad a penchant for bie feir ward an! studied how to obtain her hend and retain her fortuse One cireurstance was in his favor—her cou. sin Albert was away pursuing his s:udies at ‘Wiitemberg; and there was no other Marplots in the way. But then the Baron’s high living, and the wears that bad parsed over him had left thefr usual in- prints upon his person; and his obese figure was not at all adapted to charms lady fair. Aware of this, he takes to studying msgic. He thinks that possibly he may effect his rejuvenation and win hisward He there- fore studies the plack-art between drinks. It is at this time that albert takes it into his head te come aud s96 his pretty cousin. For the purpose of throwing his unele off bit guard, be writes to him that he is about to marry some wealthy lady; and resor‘s to other measures to deceive and bamboozle him. Having: arrived at the castle, he consocte a ssheme with the Baron’s old stew ord end housekeeper, and it is the carrying out of this plor that mykea the intezert of the picce ‘The Baron, as wa: his won't, retires to his study at midnight with bis Beirg in bis cups, he entrusts to the audience the secret uf bis love. His courege and his leve are inflamed, apd be despera’e’y conjares Berlzebub to come and have a eccial chat with him. To his consternation and astonishmect the charm is obeyed. Beelzebud, (i the person of his dutiful nephew,) shouts hiv inferns) ‘be, ha, ba,’ in bis ear, (be Baroa {a amazed; tut after surveyiog the feet and other er- tremities of his supernatural visiter, he douste his identi- ty, oud calls Wilhelm, the olf steward, to hand him his pistol, that he mighs see whether or not he is bullet proof. He is obeyed; but as he presents the pistol, it is whieked into the sir. Still incredulous, he demanda a farther proof of idenvity, with which his -eaonship ac- commedates him Takicg out of his pocket » smiky looking instrument, he plays a tune upon it, and the ebairs, tables, and other furniture, (having been pre- viously fixed up,) begin to dance round the rom, The Baron is convinced; he thinks his visiter a rather jolly tort of a fello +, and invites him to havea drink. Over the wine the bueiness is discussed in a familiar sort of a way, and the result is that the Baron stipulates for tho porsession of youth and beauty for a hundred years to begin with, and assigns himself to the power of the evil one. A parchment de+d couched in latin, is produced by the ready demon, and signed by the fuddied Baron. The deed is one consenting to the union of Albert and Angela, and investing them with their property. But the plot is not all umravelled yet. The best of the piece is in the second act. The Baron hes received from tue demon a draught, which is to restore him youth aud veauty. Ke drinks the drngged Mquor snd toddles off to bed, his visiter having mysteriously dissppeersi from his virion by ducking under the table. While under the influence of the drug he is attired in a slashing court spit, and when ha awakens in the morning is a: topisbed at all the ‘‘furniture’’ he has goton him. Hs has a faint recollection of his night’s adveature, aud begins to think that Belz«bub is going to perform his contract. Wilhelm and Ursule salute him as the young Count Maximilian. Angela does #0, too, and comes in her bridal dreas to accept bis hani He is utterly be wildered in his attempts to forget his identity, and some of the funniest scenes occur here The bridal party are about to proceed to the chaplain, when Belze ub again appears, and intimates that he will cerry off whoever marrica Angela. This makes the Baron pause. He be- thinks of a etratagem to cheat the devil; he will merry insegal style—by proxy. albert, in his prover peraoa, arrives opportunely The job is offered to him: he re- luctantly secepts. The old chap is in ecstacies at his trick They go off,and the marriage is solemaized The servants enter, recognize the old Baron as their master, and don’t know what became of Count Maxim- ion, ‘the Baron begins to smell—ag he says—a d—d immense rat, and after a funny epilogue the curtain falls. The piece is highly successful, and is anaounced to be played again this evening. ‘The New Comedy at Barton’s. Mr. Burton has recently brought ont a very pretty ar deffective little comedy, entitled ‘““unshine Through the Clouds.”? It was played here for the first time oa inesday night. The piece isa translation, we balieve, from the srench, and has been played in London for seme time with success. It is properly described in the bills ss domestic comedy It ie simply and entirely s faithful picture of quiet life, without any of those extra. ordinary incidents which are usually supposed to be in- seporsble from a proper representation of life on the stage. The dramatis persone are mere every day char- acters, without much romance arout thea, but the au thor, instead of supplying his characters with toat qnal- ity, has given them instexd good sense, and smiab'e gentle dispositions. This departure from tae staniard of éramatic composition is a bold and novel one; but it is ore which judicious people will admire. Of plo: there can be bardly said to be any, Frank Cleveland, (ur. Marchant) being an officer in the Britieh navy, bad gone away to sea; and news had reached home thet he had been cast away on some island of barbariaas, where he had been ruthlessly murdered by thesavages. Thenews fell heavily on those that wero at home to mourn his premature death. These were his mother, (Miss Ray- moni,) his sister Emily, (Miss Kate Saxon,) and an aid reeprcted retainer of the faaty, fam Marly knows as Old Sandford, (Mr. Fisher). Old Sandford’s position is ra- ther imperfectly defined. He is probably meant tg bes distan: relative in humble circuim:tances, who ‘as grown in\o hsbits of easy and affec ionate familiarity wit. the fami'y. He is now their solace and their sole com‘>:t fa the sorrow into which they have been pluoged; fur Old candford refuses to believe that Frank Cloveland is dead He was not the man (he argues) to die in that sort of way. He recoliects and recounts inetances of his courage and gallantry as a boy, and of the miracaloua esc. pos he bas bad; and it is in the affectionate, earncet striving of the heart to believe, and to prompt oth«re to believe tnat Frank is not dead, that the chief interest of tue piace centres. He has positive information tha‘ he has died; bis uniform bad been found pierced with bullets; and though bis body could not be recognize:, the papers in his pocket verved to iaen'ify him. But uld Sanaford hopes against hore, nd, tobloquizing, saye jow, I wonld not bs sur prised to see Frank cone in at any tine, and, clapping m+ on the shoulder in bis old way. teli me, + Sancford, I’m bungry as e hurter.’”’ In exemmmpaf the privilege of euthore to create circumatancos to «ntt exactly the ternes they wish to drew, Fraph is, inthe orthodoa way, wade to enter at the very moc-eat, and, baving ovr hecrd the Inet sentence of the soliloquy, goes thro. ro he action described.

It is therefore needless to state what the dénouement in. “It ends, a8 all good comedies ought to end, in marriage and happiness.

So it was arranged, by @ com- mittee appointed for the purpose, that the French re publicans, the German, tue lolish, the Cuban, and other revolutionary associations, should meet at La Montague, m Leonard atiect, at 2 o'clock, P.

Wher'the appointed bour arrived, there were but few persous assembled to join the expediti in There. might have been some forty French citizens at La Montague, but the other revolutionary so cieties were not represented. The procession siarted from Leonard street at a quarter before 3 o'clock. It was preceded by @ brass band; and the banner under which hc Pian ra was the red flag, with a guilt.tri- angie in the centre, on the sides of which were ipscrivei the words ‘‘2vd September, 1792 ”” @ pleasant feature in the ‘procersion was the Tepreseptation of the Goddess of Liberty io the Tson of apretty littie girl, the daughter of lonsieur Guigonnet, a political refugee.
