We would direct the particular attention of our readers to the despatch of our correspondent a> Washington, published under tie telegraphic head. It is anusualiy imyortant. The stockholders of the Parker Vein Coal Com papy beld a meeting last evening, at which the re- port of the committee appointed to investigate the affairs of the concern was read. It is au exceedingly imteresting dcoument, and we have given’it the benefit of our circulation. I¢ forms an important ohap er in the history of the gigantic frauds which @istioguish this year of grace, 1854, and will be read attentively, not only by the unfortunate indi viduala who nave been “done” by the operations of the parties im Hested in the fraudalent tranzac- tiows, Sut by be entire tribe of financiers who are | arxiously desirous of eclipsing the fame of the | Schnylers and Jewetta of the day. Late advices from Texas state that the Governor hes determined uoon issuing proposals for anew contra:t for constructing the Pacific Railroad. if this proves to be true, then the project of Messrs. RJ. Walker and T. Butler King has fallen through for a ceriaiaty. The stock securities for the thres | hundred thousand dollar dsposit tenderad by those gentlemen, do not seem to have possessed sufficient | strength even for the meridian of Texas. | Nothing whatever has been heard of the sloop-of war Albany since she left Navy Bay. Strong hopes, however, are still entertained as to her safety. It is reported that a letter written by an officer of the ship just previous to her sailing | stated that she would make the voyage homeward through the Mona Passage. If such a design has been carried out, the voyage has not been remarka- bly long. At least such is the belief of those well | informed on the subject. A letter from a person on | board, dated St. Thomas, Sept. 27, extracts from which are given elsewhere, contains the following remerk:—‘‘We may possibly go to the northward | this fall, but there are few signs of it at present.’ | These statements are calculated to allay in som> @egree the apprehensions of those who have friends on board the missing vessel. Of the office ¢ First Lieutenant William W. Bleecker is a near connexion of Mr. Anthony J. Bleecker of this city. He was for some time an officer of the United Gtates steamer ‘Michigan, on Lake Erie, snd was | well known on the lakes.

The Governor in his meseage, among other | things, suggests a modification of the laws relating to free persons of color arriving at Southern sea- ports. The Cuban question is probably alladed to in the yewark “ avoid the aopearance of grasping at aay portion of foreign teriitory.” He also stater that tho finan- eal distress of the State is greater at present than at avy time eince 1837. We have in type a fall report of the interesting proceedings ou the occasion of the forty-firat annual meeting of the association for the relief of respesta- ‘ble eged indigent females, woich the crowded state of our coiumre compels us to omit thia moraing. ‘The case of Samuel Drury against George Wilkes ‘and oth¢rs, an action {or trespass committed in 1849, was decided yesterday in the Circuit Court of Queens county, the jury rendering a verdict for the plaintiff of forty thousand dollars damages, to which amount Judge Rockwell added the sum of two | thousand dollars extra costa, in consideration of the | vexatious natare of the suit. This is the heaviest | amount of damages ever rendered in any court in , , that county, or indeed, we believe, in any court in the Btate. ‘The first of a series of anti-slavery lectures was asiivered Inst evening in the Broadway Tabernasie by Rev. Richard S. Storrs. An abstract will be found in another colume. ‘The preliminary examMation of the Williamsburg election rioters was concladed yesterday.

The Administration and Oar Foreign Af- falre=The Meeting of Congress. The two houses of Congress will re-assemble at Washington on Monday next. The arrival there, in the meantime, of Mr. Piatt, Secretary of our Legation at Paris, with official despatches from several of our ministers abroad, throws a fresh interest upon the subject of our delicate diplomatic relations with the Western Powers of Europe, in connection with the line of policy which the President may recommend in his annual message. We presume there is nothing new in the despatches which Mr. Piatt may have laid be- fore the Cabinet from Messrs. Buchanan, Mason, Soulé and Be mont. We doubt not that from our European correspondents and exchanges, all the ma’erial facts of these offi- | cial papers have already been published. But as the government only acts upon official infor- | mation, and as these despatches doubtless | cover the official statements of all the recent diplomatic transactions of our London, Paris, | Hague and Madrid ministera including the to Washington, at this juncture, may be considered as the transfer of all these | proceedings to ‘the official consideration of the President in his message. ‘This is | of the message has been kept open, awaiting | advices trom Europe, while all that pertains to our domestic concerns is ready for the printer. The question then recurs, what line of policy will the President pursue? Complicated and delicate as are our relations with France and Spain, he may give us peace or war—peace through moderate and conciliatory counsels, and | war without any very laborious or violent efforis to accomplish it. In fact, it will be easicr to plunge headlong or stumble into war, | than to steer calmly through the reefs and rocks and shoals among which our administra- tion is foundering. We kaow the real diffical- ties between Buchanan and Marcy. The lat- ter, in separating the fishery and reciprocity questions from the settlement of the knotty aflairs of Central America, has not only in- but has, in cutting off the Mosquito question, rendered its separate adjustment embarrassing and rather humiliating to our Minister at Lon. don. Having nothing else to do, therefore, Mr. Buchanan has very naturally looked for employ- ment across the Channel; and bas found it in the congress at Ostend, and in the affairs of Soulé and Louis Napoleon and France and | Spain. The principal documents brought over by Mr. Piatt, we have reason, also, to believe, | tend and the programme which was there adopted touching our complex international relations upon the Cuba question. And that it | is come short and decisive policy may be in | | ferred from the assurances which we have re- | ceived from London and Paris that jt will | | “give us the island of Cuba in less than six | Ourreaders have been fully informed of the doings of Soulé and the young American mem- | bers of our European legations, in conjunction | with the Continental revolutiqnary refugees in | London. We have substantially established | | these pointe, that the designs of the refugees | are involved in the belligerent policy upon the | Cuba question as dictated by Soulé at Ostend | | —that the refugees count upon the adoption of this policy at Washington, and a war between France and Spain against the United States; | and that they will seize the occasion of such a war for bringing into immediate action their schedule of projected Continental revolutions | from France to Hangary. In pursuance, no doubt, of this combined scheme of universal Wars and revolutions, Mr. | Soulé has returned to Madrid simultaneously with the arrival of Mr. Piatt at Washington The former has returned to carry out his pro- gremme of an instantancous sale of Cuba or a rupture, while the latter isin confidence with the President and his Cabinet upon the im- | portant question of the adoption or rejection of the Ostend policy in the message to Congress. What will the President do? The most mo- | | mentous issues in the world’s history hang up- | | on this little question. How stand his Cabinet? We know the position of Marty. He is opposed to Soulé and the policy of his league with the | refugees. They are aware of it. They have | | accordingly taken steps to supplant Marcy. | States Circuit Court of this district are engaged in | offered for shipment to Earope, and frei hts t> Eag: lish ports, in a general way, ruled quite firm, aud | Sterling ex- | ally of Marcy—v ry stro g. The democratic party was sacrificed rather thon give up Guthrie; and so he must be strong wit the Pre- sident—very strong. The whole issue, then, “epends aon the re- lative strength of Marcy and Gut®r e for peace, and Cushing and Davis for war. Dobbin, per- haps, ho'ding the balance of power, may settle | the question. Canwe rely upon Dobbin? It is | understood that he will recommen the in- ' creage and re-organ'za'iin (f ihe navy, which looks favorable to the eague of Soulé and the refugees. Peace or war wit. France a.d S)ain may depend upoa Dobbl:, We may, at all events, count with some confidence upon a rup- | ture with the Dutch. Mr. Piatt has doubtless brought over the’ ult matum «f Belmont in the Gibson case—as a case which can only be settled by war. But upon the main issue of the po- licy of the message upon. the ‘ uba question we are sorely perplexed, Most likely our accom- modating President will split the difference, | make out a case of war, and throw the entire | reeponsibi.ity upon, Ovng:e-s, inclading a dis- | cretionary fand often or fif een millions for the diplomatic contingencies of Soulé. Between Soulé at Madrid-and the Cabinet at Washington ‘he ‘scale inclines in favor of war. We awat with equal anxiety the action of Soulé and the policy of the message. The peace of the civilized world still at peace, may depend upon the casting vote of Dubbin. Can we rely upon Dobbin? We fear not. A few days will settle the policy of the administration for peace or war, and the destinies of this coun- try and of civilization, for the next fifty years. The message—the message—what will be the message? Forney Tiavmnca;-ciesers is much talk in political circles about the astounding breach of confidence committed by Mr. Foroey, the editor of the Union and Clerk of the House of Repre- sentatives, in giving publicity to the private let- ter written to him by Mr. Buchanan. The latter, it will be remembered, complained bitterly of the incapacity of his Secretary, Mr. Sickles, add- ing that his squabble with the banker Peabody was excessively annoying, and that he was even unable to write a legible hand. Mr: Buchanan had obvioualy written thus in strict confidence to Mr. Forney; we can well ‘picture what his astonishment will be when he finds that the recipient of his letter behaved with so little delicacy or discretion tha: the telegraphic re- porters for the press were enabled to send its | contents over the wires to all parts of the country. The impropriety of Mr. Forney’s conduct is rendered more glaring in this instance by the obligations formerly conferred upon him by both the gentlemen he hasinjured. It was Mr. Buchanan who first took him by the hand when he was ® poor country editor in some little | Pennsylvania town, dining off a potatoe and arasher of bacon, and looking forward toa postmastership as the highest aim of his am- | bition. Mr. Buchanan took him to Philadel- phia, bought the Pennsylvanian for him, and set him up in life: all that Forney has sinse ‘become he owes to Mr. Buchanan. He repays his benefactor by showing his private letters to every one he meets, till their contents become a matter of public notoriety, and are telegraphed by the public reporters as general news. Nor did Mr. Sickles stand in the light of a stranger toMr. Forney. When the latter maie a foolish speech in Tammany Hall, and was forced to retract what he had said, Mr. Sickles braved the storm for him, and came out boldly in his defence. It was Mr. Sickles who secured tor Forney a majority of the House of Repre- sentatives when he became a candidate for the clerkship. Without Mr. Sickles’ aid, Forney | would not have succeeded: his character was too well known: a sense of shame would have prevented his election, had not Mr. Sickles used all his personal influence to secure his triumph. In return for these services, Mr. Forney deals a fatal blow at the chiracter of Mr. Sickles, by publishing Mr. Buchanan’s unfayoratle opinion of his Secretary. He endeavors to m ke it known far and wide that the latter has coa- | ducted himself wit» such gross impropriety as to become @ source of great discomfort to the Minister, and that he is,in the opinien of | his immediate superior, utterly unfit for tve ravk he holds. These things show that the author of the “Forney letter to Roberts” is still what he was. We stated, over an] over again, that a man who could propose to his friend to decoy | an unsuspecting ) outh to drink, and under the influence of liquor to extort from him conies- | sions involving the honor of a woman, could never under any circumstances prove a reliable friend or a respectable public officer. Events have amply justified our apprehensions. Al: most on the very first occasion on which an opportunity is offered, Forney betrays the con- fidence reposed in him in such a way as to in- volve his early benefactor in unpleasant quar- rels, and ruin the character of one of his staunchest friends. He has one virtue—con- sistency. Tae Drirricunry Berween Tae CaTHo.ic Bisnor anp THE Larry at Hartrorv.—We have already noticed the difficulties which recently took place in Hartford between Father Brady and hie Bishop, and have commented severely on the arbitrary and high-handed course which the latter was pleased to pursue. We asserted, and with reason, that these acts of ecclesiastical tyranny were among the evils which have ushered the present American party into exist- effce. It has been said that it is the intention of this party, as soon as it has assumed the teins of power, to sweep the Roman Catholic religion from the State. We see no evidences of any such design ; but, on the contrary, be- | We are promised accordingly a change in the | Cabinet, and the substitution of Cushing for , Marcy. How stands Cushing? War to the | knife—Guba at once, and Mexico as fast as pos- | sible, péace or war. Ever since his miraculous | escape from that ditch at Matamoras, the voice | of Cushing has been for war. He is a Boston | man, with Texas principles. Jeff. Davis, the | | Secretary of war, is with him, War is his ele. | ment, and Cuba the end of his ambition. These two men are powerful with the President. The report of the projected changes in the Cabinet proves it. Still there is a hope for Marcy. The ques- tion has come home upon Pierce for peace or | war. He is timid—he is feeble—he is unde- cided. He would not betray Soulé and his confederates. He would like to get Caba “in | less than six months;” he would like even the | popularity of a foreign war. It might turn the tide against the Nebraska agitation and the Know Nothings. It-might'wind ap the nif tration tn a blazo—a great heen ay! Bus Mr. Pierce is a feeble man are od lieve that with the triumph of Know Nothing- | ism, the Catholic will be enabled toenjoy that | freedom of thought and that religious liberty | of which his Protestant brethren so proudly ! boast. We learn from Hartford that the quarrel } sbout the church property, has been brought to « heppy termination—Bishop O'Reilly having conceded to the people the privilege of manag: ing their own financial affairs, The congre- gation, it seems, have now a financial com- mittee, who take charge of all the revenues of the church, pay the amount allowed to priests, and other necessary expenses, and render pro- per voucherr and ample statements. Thisis as it should be. It is a strong evidence of the power of public opinion, even over an obdu- rate prelate. It isa triumph of Know Nothing- iem, ond our Catholic fellow-citizens must con- tinne to obtain euch triumphs until all the church property in the country is given over to them, and not left aecumulating in the , hands of an amittioes olergy to add to their already rw roy; ¢ i Dis, iL Fo. of the most benefic'al-reforms which wil! even | tually be brought sbout by the influence of the new party. Itis a reform which all lovers of liberty must desire to see accomplished—the Catholic not less than the Protestant. Tax Kwow No Norumos ap tae Pourricians— ‘The new order of Know Nothings has killed off all the other excitements. The Garri- sonian clique raves in vaio—women’s rights are unheard of—the red republ'cans are drop- ped by their former orators, and fulminate re- volutionaty doc:rines to empty benches—Ne- braska, even, has taken its place in the tomb of the Caplets, and the Maine law is only referred to as an incidental topic. The politicians, who are ever ready to seize upon public extitements for ‘heir owa pur- poses, are particalarly distressed by the Know Nothing movement, beciuse they are kept alto- gether in the dark as ‘o its intentions and «b- jects. Nothing proves this more conclusively than the alarmingly large number of cases of sudden illness among popular orators recently. The poor Poles suffered on Monday night from thie distressing epidemic, but one of their announced orators being sufficiently strong to get on his lege, and he occupied the chair during the greater part of the evening. The orators fear the Know Nothings, and were afraid to speak at the anniversary of the Polish revolution be- cause it was a foreign affair! The Know Noth- ings are, of course, in favor of liberty in all countries, but the politicians being somewhat in the dark, stand still. They think thiscourse is safer than it would be to grope about and risk breaking their necks over some hidden ob- stacle. Our anti-slavery friends are also being killed off by the Know Nothings. Although they were addressed by two very popular pulpit orators at the Tabernacle last evening, the faithful did not come up, and the hall was less than half filled. Things must be coming toa stand-still when ihe clergy—who have lately been kind enough to manage our political af- fairs, as well as to regulate our consciences in spiritual matters—can no longer draw together an audience. When @ Know Nothing meeting is held countless hosts seem to spring up with- out previous preparation, and orators. start from the ranks of the people, like Minerva, fally armed for the fight. » Truly, the new order has swept everything before it. So singular a spectacle, so complete and so peaceful @ revo- lution, was never before known in any country under the sun. ee THE LATEST NEWS. BY MAGNETIC.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28, 1854. There is more than a ‘usual uadereurrent of deep feeling among officials of all classes and nations x +this important season. ‘The President and Cabinet are evidently somwhat ex- cited and inquiringly alarmed at the state of mind in which the members of Congress arrive—whether thoy willeonfirm or not their fears by charging the "present disorganized state of the party tothe misconduct ani mismanagement of the Executive. There is an undercurrent here that the President will ‘de forced to meet the public expectations by changing the Cabinet; but not immeciately. It is said that Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Campbell are uneasy. The news by the Baltic has painfully excited the pub- lic. Messrs. Crampton and Sartiges are unusually ac- tive. It is said the British government had received from Lord Raglan an unfavorable despatch shortly be- fore the Baltic sailed. The Russian Ambassador and Mr. ‘Crampton were at the State Department to-day. The Cabinet liad under consideration to-day, with other important matters, Baron de l’Huys. despatch to Mr. Mason on the Soulé affair. Jt is quite moderate and respectful; but it is believed that Mr. Soulé has not act- ed with discretion or moderation. It is thought he will not succeed in Spain, and will have to come home. Mr. Marey and Mr. Cushing—who are in fact the govern- ment—are both anxious for Cuba honorably, and will only sustain Mr. Soulé so far as public interests require *toaptats Gidson’s case is in statu quo. Mr. Marey says, “J am tired of hearing about the Dutch Netherlands.” The message will be firm and decided, but not war- like. - It is thought that England will settle the Centra American question as soon as possible, and disavow Consul Miller’s speech at the Sandwich Islands. It is not believed. that we need expect any improper interference on the part of England and France. The Russian ambassador says that Lord Palmerston’s visit to Paris is to agree upon: joint note to Austriar @ Prussia. Unless they join the allies the revolutionary element in Italy and Hungary will be immediately it loose... He further said—‘* We may do it first.” The utmost excitement existed in diplomatic circles in France and England at the time of the sailing of the Baltic. If Sebastopol should not fall—and it is not be- lieved it will—there will be a revolution in France, and a change of ministry in Fngland, whish will sympachiwe with the liberals of Germany and other parts. Bread is high in Paris, and the people are talking quite loud. It is quite current in diplomatic circles that the British ministry were excited and alarmed when Mr. Soulé ar- rived in London from Paris—that Lord Clarendon called upon Mr. Buchanan immediately, and then communicat ed by telegraph with the Freach government. Mr. Marey looks careworn. He talks qitite freely about Mr. Sonlé; is afraid he will commit an indiscreet blunder and involve the government to save himself, He told a gentleman to-day from the South—‘TIcan’t help it. 1 did my best to prevent the apppointment; but it was the President’s own—like Sanders’ and the rest of 'em.’’ "From Boston.

Davenport, anactress ever welcome to New York thea- tre-goers, hat returned to us, and is playing an engage- ment at the Broadway. She appeared on Monday and ‘Tuesday evenings as “Camille,”” in her own play of that | name. The merits and demerits of this production have H already been pointed outby the Hxnaup, and we have only to say that Miss Davenport's rendering of the prin cipal part is as good, perhaps better, than ever. “Camille” has already been played fifteen times, the people in thts fast age must have what the man agers call ‘‘a succession of novelties.” In consequence of this fact “Camille” does not draw, and we have no doubt that it will soon be withdrawn, and replaced by something new. In the meantime, people who have not seen ‘Camille’ will“ o well to seize the present oppor tunity. Myrnopourax THeaTee—“ Grisenps.”’—Oor German friend-—the playwrights, especially—seem to delight in carrying us back to the dark ages. The author of “ In- gomar’? gave us what he supposed to be a picture of domestic life in old Massilis many centuries ago, and now he contributes to dramatic literature an offering equally weak and absurd. Werefer to “ Griselda,” a play in‘five acts, produced at the Metropolitan theatre, and done into English for Mr*. Farren. The plot of “*GriseMia”” is almost as intricate as that of ‘ Ingomar.’? The heir apparent to the English throne, in the days of good King Arthur, falls desperately in love with a char- con} burner’s denughter—the lady is called Griselda, and is supposed to be possessed ‘of surpassing beauty and surprising amiability. The Prince marries her, at which | his mother becomes indignant, and subjects her toa severe tvial of her love, taking away her’ child, and sending her ‘back'to her father, the charcoal burner. The eld gen- | tleman'refases to receive her, ‘She is followed by the Prince, who still further’ tries her, by stating that he also is an outcast, and that « price is set on his head. She secretes him, and on demand from the Queen re- fuses to give him up. Griselda and her father are both arrested, brought @o Court, and astonished by being in- formed that all their suffering was merely for a trial of the lady’s constancy. Tho shock being too much for Griselda, she dies on the stage, which ends the piece, ‘with a slow curtain.” ‘This is one of the plays written for « single part—a nuisance entailed upon the drama by the starring sys- tem. There is nothing in ‘‘Griselda’’ but Griselda. e part was very well played by Mrs. Farren, who gave full effect to the fine language, which, ‘excepting its brevity, is the only merit of the play. Itis all very well to give usa picture of woman’s sacrifice and self-denial, but it is rather hard to have nothing else for five mortal acts. We do not see why Griselda should die, but the author, being German, must bring matters to a watery climax. ‘The other parts were made as much of as they could be. Mr. Thompson’s performance of Cedric (Griselda’s father) was excellent.

QUEENS COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT.—BEFORE ROCKWELL. Samuel Drury against George Wilkes and others— Damages for the Plaintig’, $40,000, The November Term of this Court opened on Monday Yast, at Hempstead, 1. 1. Almost the first cause on the calendar was this long pending one—which, it will be remembered, was an action against the defendants for trespass on plaintiff's Premises, at Astoria, on the 16th November, 1849; on which day, Mr. Wilkes, accompanied by several police officers, entered the plaintiff's house and, im his absence, ransacked it, taking away, as was alleged, a very’ large amount of valuable property, consisting of gold, silver, diamonds and other precious articles of jewelry, being not only part of the stock of the plaintiff in his business, but a large quantity of his family plate. Of a great por- tion of this, restitution, it fs further alleged, has never been made, though the pretext upon which it was seized has long been at an end, by the result of certain crimt- nal proceedings, which at the time excited & great sen- sation in the community, andsiust be fresh in the re- collection of our readers. Mr, Drary’s counsel, H. F. Clark, Esq., opened the case—depicting the wronge his client had endured at the hands of the defendants, who were, he said, banded together in a conspiracy, of which this outrage had been but one result.
