IMPORTANT FROM HAVANA. Under this bead the Albany Evening Journal gives a despatch fiom New Orleans, dated on the 28th inst., which states that letters received from Havana by the Black Warrior report the escape of the assa:sin of the captor of Gen. Lopez, and also thet at the funeral of the murdered maa the indigny tion of the populace, in consequence of the parade of the police force only being allowed by govern: ment on the occasion, led to a riot, in which several were killed and wounded. We have received tele graphic advices from N-w Orleans to the 21st inat., which make no mention of this affray, and we are, therefore, inclined to place this ‘‘importan’” news in the same category with the great Tartar hoax. THUR ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. No more marked illustrasion of the advantages of thé telegraph to the readiag public has fallen under our observation than that which eccurred op Fri day last. It will be recolle:ted that tbe steamship Afri a was signalized off this port about 1 o’cloch in the afternoon of the day above mentioued. At 2 o’cleck the steamer was boarded, five miles off San- dy Hook, by the clipper news yacht of the Associ- ated Press, and the important intelligence brought from Europe was almost instantly transferred to the Randy Hook telegreph office by means of carrier pigeons, from whence it was tranamitted over the wires to this city, where it was published, an hour in advance of the steamer’s arrival at her dock a: Jersey City. At about the same moment the pas- sepgeie stepped on shore from the Africa, the news was being read in New Orleans, Halifax, Quebec, St. Johne, ind the intermediate towns.

AG oomy Prospect ron Gererat Prerce.-— The present administration ia rapidly drawing to a close, eo far as any power to originste or carry out measures is concerned. Even the most inveterate toafict of the Cabinet are forced to confess that each ‘election return is a death knell to their hopes of having any influence whatever with the next House of Representa- tives. After the third day of March, 55, Gene- ral Pierce becomes powerless; and for the balance of his Presidential term, he must confine himself to the merest routine duties, thanking ‘bis stars if the next | ongres; will even pass the ‘appropriation bills, bereft of every extraneous item, and cut down to the most economical standard. As there is, at all events, nominally, an adw‘nistration majority in the Senate, that Tas New Yoru Wuio Parry—Tae I pyyrs- Bix Sruitr—We have admonished 0’. readers that there isto be a sort of centr’’: State com- mittee meeting at A'bany, “¢ somewhere in | the interior, this day. inref cence to the course | which the national whige,, commonly called sil- | ver greys, shali Pur eno in our November elec- tions. The two articles which we publish this | morning frova the two leading whig papers of Buffalo will serve to enlighten the uninitiated reader upon the merits of the case. We shall await the action of the parties concerned in the premises with no small degree of interest. It may be that the most momentous issues in re- ference to the future courae of the politics of this State, and in regard to the drift of the ap- proaching Presidential election, may be de- pending upon the political action of the national whigs of New York. If they are bold and in- dependent they may retrieve their past errors of affiliation with Sewardism, and save the State and the country from the disorganizing programme of the Saratoga, Syracuse and Au- burn conspirators. Let the silver greys beat the rappel and take the field. We hope ina day to announce that they have put the ball in free, she having sprung a leak in a gale. A BOY KILLED. The rage for ‘arge: practice by the young men of our city frequently leads to lamentable accidents from the careless uce of firearms A most distress ing casualty from this cause occurred at Hunter's Point, Queen’s county, on Sunday. A party, de-_ siring to practice shooting at a mark, put up their target near a row of shanties, and in the course of the firing a boy named John Boyd was shot in the forehead with a musket ball. Several persons were arrested, five of whom were held to bail to anawer, body may act as a shield, in some resp:cta, to the President in the assaults of the popular branch of Congress; but this wil: ouly be a ne- gative benefit, saving him the necessity of fre quent vetoes, but rendering bim uo positive advantage. Under such a state-of affiirs it is quite evident that the Spoils Cabinet can make no capital after the dissolu- tion of the present Congress, and unless they hurry up matters amazingly in the coming ses- sion they stand a poor chance in the scrub race of 1856. General Pierce, we take it for grant- ed,is rapidly becoming @ convert to the one- term principle; and as for his Cabinet, they will have an admirable opportunity of retiring to the shades of private life, consoling themselves with the reflection that if Marcy, Davis and Guthrie cannot wear the imperial purple, it is the fate of our great men—for Clay, Calhoun and Webster never reached that goal. What a gloomy prospect after March 3, 1855 Niggers will be thrast in the face of the ad- ministration at every turn. Afver an ineffectu- al fight to repeal the Nebraska-Kanzas act—in- eff ctual because of the Senate—the first res- sion of the next Congress will probably wind up with a grand fight upon the Civil and Diplo- matic Appropriation bill, which will doubtless have engrafted upen it, by the House of Rep- resentatives, a repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, The Senate will refuse to acquiesce in it. The House, fearing no responsibility for stopping the wheels of government upon such an issue, insisting upon it, and the Appropria- tion bill in consequence faling throuzh! Or the Senate yielding tothe pertinacity of the House, and the bill, with the repeal of the fu- gitive law, coming before General Pierce for his assent cr veto! Verily, the way of the transgressor is hard. The admivistration of General Pierce will be productive of one good at least. It will loom up as a warniog to all future Presidents to avoid hiserrors, and trust to honesty and rec- titude as the basis of government; and it will act as a solemn warning to the people of the United States not to trast to the wire pullings of packed conventions; also thrust unknown candidates upon them, and force the electors to “go it blind.” However advantageoussuch a procedure in a game of poker ou a Missie- sippi steamboat or a gambling shop in Washiag- ton, it is hazardous and dangeroas ia the elec- tion of a President. fine for discharging firearms on Sunday. The Lmpending Revolution. We take it for granted no unprejudiced per- son will deny that the administration’s being in favor of the Nebrask, bill greatly weakened the strength of that measure w.th the country. it was introduced at a time when there was n0 immediate necessity for such an issue, yet even that fact would not have so mueh affected the principle it enunciated as the manifest dis- honesty of the motives’ which induced the Ca binet to seize upon it, un ler the impression it would be a popular hobby. Tue measure has, therefore, io fight under a d.uble disadvantage —for whil:t it is attacked by the abolitionists on the one hand, the enemies of the adminis- tration batter away at it on the other. The people of the United States, no.matter how prone they may appear 'o be carried away by the excitement of the moment, are not only eminently practical, but possess also in a larger degree than the people of any other couutry on the face o° ihe globe that clement of strength—common sense. The reason of this is apparent. Not only ‘8 edacatioa more general heie than in Europe, but, there being no distinctions of rank, every man feels that personal and individual interes: in the government which induces a close scra- tiny of passing eveuts and a warm contest in thaping out the future. It might reasonably be expected, therefore, that an issue so plain as the right of the people, in all parts of the Union, to make their own local la’s, as well as the curtailment of the powers of Congress, would soon rally in its support an overwhelming ma. jority of the right thinking citizens of all sec- ‘ions. We have no doubt such will be the ulti- mate result, and we do not think such a result inconsistent with the opinion, that the Nebras- ka-Kansas bili may also be spurned by this tame majority as by no means filling the poi. tion claimed by the advocates of popular sove- reignty, and the curtailment of the powers of Congress to the limits laid down in the coasti- ution, The Nebraska bill, certainly, to an extent, does recognise that principle, but it is the mere commencement of a revoln- tion which will! probably result in tota ly dific.- ent legislation for the future as regards our Territories; effectually taking from Congress the excitement connected with tie slavery agita tion, and confining the federal governmen: within the safe limits of the compact which re sulted in the union of the States. There is no power given in the constitat.ca to Congress to es ablish territorial govero- menis. The only authority found in that in- strument is simply the clause giving Congress the right to regulate the sule of the public lands. Beyond this disposal of the soil, all ter- ritorial organizations are assumptions of power onthe yart of the federal government; and wherever the power of the Executive is limited the people gain just so much in the exercise of their rights. To thir exient, therefore, thy Nebraska-Kansas act is commendable. Bat it is evident that if Congress seizes a po ver not conferred upon it, in the establishment of ter- itoriad colonial goveroments, that it is hardly consistent, ailer this assumption, to scek to limit Congress in its extension of that power, hy an appeal to the constitution. An appeal to that tribunal wipes out not only the Wilmot proviso, but the Territorial govern- ment in toto, leaving the regulation of the sale of the public lands alone to Congress. Wha: remains, then, jor the people in what are now the Territories? ‘ Popular sovereign- ty’’—the right to govern themeelves, and in due time, if such should be their pleasure, apply for admission into tle Union as States. It may be urged that such a result would lead to great embarrassment; but even if it should—and we see no reason for it—it is less dangerous than the undefined power now exer- cised by Congress, and which finds no warrant in the constitution, either in letter oc spirit. It is useless to attempt to set limits to the slavery agitation by appeals to the coo. stitution, when it is violated in the first instance by the formation of Territerial govera- ments at ail, The disease is deeper than any medicine has yet reached. And it can only be cured by a strict adherence to the powers con- ferred upon Congress, outsteppiag them in no particule An appeal to the constitation to show that there is no power to pass the Wilmot proviso, reveals the fact also, that ter- ritorial orgavizations, ualess by the people re- siding there, are infringements of “ popular sovereignty.”’ It mast come to this ia the end. If Congress is to be conficed to its legitl- mate functions in the matter of slavery in the Territories, it must also cease to usurp power in any respec’ there. Territorial govern nents must be done away with--thy federal officers sent ther d, and the people tru-.ed with their own affairs, unfettered by dicta Tue Sewarp Scneme To Pack THE ASSEMBLY. —A most fatal error is being made by those who are neglecting the elections for the State A - sembly, and devoting their whole thought to the choice ofa Governor. It is very true tha: the election of a man like Seymour would en- ure a veto for the Liquor Prohibitory bill; but why not scek the evil at its root, and contrive to send t» Albany an Assemb y that will not pass it «t ali? The question concerns the whole community, snd not the liqaor dealers alone. Wheth:r the house of every citizen of the State of New York shall continue to be hi- ..stle, a= heretofore, or whether all of us shall :.- exposed to domicilary visits from spies aud informers, who may come at any hour of the day or night force us to open our doors, and suifer thom to search our dwelling from garret to basement in search of liquor—that is the question: and upon the character of the men whom we may choose to represent us inthe State Assemb'y depends its solution. If we neglect the matter, we shall be forced to accept the latter view of the case, and prepare for search warrants : if on the con- trary, we bestir ourselves actively, this great attempt to trample under foot our natural liv- erties may again be frustrated, and the sincore advocates of temperance may be compelled to adopt a more constitutional plan of forwarding their views. Another reason why the choice of a:sembly- men is particularly important at the present time, is on account of the selection of a United States Senator which followa, A very little negligence on the part of the concervatives will secure Williem H. Seward’s re appointment, and for another term of six years, New York will figure in the United States Senate as afree soil State. This again is simply a question of constitutionality against fanaticism. And the thing to be remembered is that the negligent wil) help the fanatics, Tur Winre axnp tie Buack Doverass Mretine Postroxep.—The controversial meet- ing arranged by the anti-slavery party, to come off at Aurora, Iilinois, between Stephen A Douglas, (white mao,) and Frederick Douglass, (black man,) did not transpire. The white and the black Douglass were upon the ground—it was the appointed day for the former to make a speech on Nebraska; and the anti-Ne- braska fusionists had brought up the latter to put in a Rowland for an Oliver. Bat the white Douglas, not caring, perlaps, to be placed upon the same footing with the “gentle- man from New York.” was nov est.

There is nothing for them but scorn, humiliation and disgrace, in the ranks of the Seward mercenaries. AmEnIcAN Potitics 1x Lonpon.—The letter of the New York correspondent of the London News, on our domestic politics, which we pab- lish to-day, will unquestionably be read with considerable interest by all parties concerned. It isa pity that the facts of the case would not warrant the writer in giving a more flattering account than he does give of the capacities, the achievements, and merits of the administration at Washington, avd of its diplomatic appoint- ments. We can excuse the writer, however, dn the ground that it is difficult, in American poli- tice, to avoid falling into the current of public opinion, especially where the tide has been bearing everything before it, as in the elections of the last twelve months. But let Jobn Bull look sharp, or he may yet discover that he has caught another Tartar besides that fast fellow from Sebastopol. Let him look to the bom- bardment of Greytown, and maintain his “equatter sovereignty” there, if hecan, against our present warlike administration. In the meantime, the London journals are quite wel- come to the opinions of their New York cor- respondents, Cost or THE Prerce ApMiNistration.— From the published statement of the appropriations made by Congress during the last session, we gather that the government of the country is costing us sumething over seventy millions of dollars a year, or a trifle less than two dollars and seventy-five cents per head. There was a time when an annual expenditure of forty mil- lions would have caused an outcry; and we are not sure that the government has more to do now than it had then, or does its business in a more complete or satisfactory manner. The reason of the difference is very simple. As the United States increase, the revenue expands; and it is not in the nature of politicians to re- sign any portion of it. What money they ob- tain they spend: if we had o customs revenue of one hundred and fifty millions, the case would be precisely the same, except perhaps that we would have more ambassadors abroad in black velvet, more editors at home attached to the kitchen cabinet, and more usarpers in our neighborhood subsisting on our bounty. First Frurrs or tae Reciprociry Treaty.— How the Canadians must chuckle when they think of the reciprocity treaty! For years and years, the St. Lawrence between Corawall and Montreal has been considered as only navi- gable one way in consequence of the rapids, and very expensive canals have been built, through which vessels westward bound pass on their way to Kingston. This, of course, greatly enhanced the cost of navigating the river. Scarcely has the reciprocity treaty been agreed to when the distioguished engineer Mons. Mail- lefert is requested to visit these insurmount- able rapids. He announces that he will, with the aid of his submarine apparatus, very speedily remove the obstructions which prevent vessels ascending the stream. Should his anti- cipations be fulfilled, the St. Lawrence will soon be navigable, for heavy vessels, both ways from Lake Ontario to the gulf. Tne Quaker Canpipatr.—We believe that the Quakers, without any formal convention of their own, have been fortunate enough to se- cure the nomination of one candidate from two or three parties in the city ; and that nomina- tion is Dr. ames R. Wood for Governor of the Almsbouse. A New Caxprpate ror Histrioxic Honors —We learn that = young American lady of this city, bred and edu- cated for scciety, has, under a change of circumstances which may be readily divined, :esoived to try her for. tunes in the responsible, laborious, and pecilous vocation of the stage She is young, accomplished, and possessed of rare pervonal attractions, a queenly figure, a fine, ex- pEegsive countenance—in a word,she is a veautiful young perton, which, in itself, is a capital qualification for a debutante. It in one whish, with even moderate abilities, way win her golten opmions from ali sorts of critics, rd put her oa the high road to fameand fortune, The rame of the fair candidete in question is Jessie M’Lean, only daughter of Mojor M’Lean, lately deceased, and formerly of Sew Jersey, The debut cf this young Igly will probably take place at Niblo’s, or perhaps at some other one of our metropolitan theatres, and within the exsuirg fortnight.
