Senor Francisco de Arrangoiz, the speciel com- missioner appointed by Santa Anna to receive the ret instalment of the $10,000,000 to be paid under the Gadsden treaty, has recently caused to be pub- Mabed an address to bis countrymen, justifying his condact in deducting out of the $7,000,000 received certain per centage for his commission. Embo. Ged in this address are some forty official and private documents bearing on the subject, some of which ‘eve highly interesting, as evincing the extreme earn- evtmem and anxiety of Sante Anna to save the ten millions from the clatches of Mexican creditors, and from the rapaciousness or possible dishonesty of Mexican officials.

"Oar telegraphic despatches today, from Washington and Philadelpbia, in reference to the rumored reconstruction of the Cubinet and our diplomatie corps, are very curious, and stromgly significant of something in the wind. The debate, on the other hand, in the Cortes at Medrid on our Cuban imbroglio, which we have ajco transferred to these colamns, shows very conclusively that the Spanish Minister of For- eign Affairs, Senor Luzuriaga, is apprehensive of some impending danger from the indignant return ef Mr. Soulé to the United States, and has all at once become extremely amiable and conciliatory. Who has given him .bis cue? The English embassy, perhaps, or Monsieur de Target. We refer our readers to his remarks in the Cortes. A more peacefully inclined gentleman cannot be found at this time in any European cabinet outside of Prussia. And this is the same Minister who had no time to answer or even listen to the demands of Mr. Soulé for a liquidation of our outstanding accounts! Now, however, Senor Laguriaga pleads for an armis- tice—pleads for peace, and protests that Spain is not at all disposed to chaffer upon the indem- nity in the Black Warrior and other cases, but volunteers to foot the bili of costs with her characteristic magnanimity. All this is very fine; though it simply amounts to nothing but 8 confession that Senor Luzuriaga {s very much frightened in view of the pecutiar acts, facta, and circumstances resulting in the final depar- ture of Mr. Soulé from Spain. In this speech of the Spanish Premier we bave also the origin of that false report in the Washington Union, that there had been a set- tlement of the Black Warrior case. This speech shows that this reported settlement amounts to the single declaration that Spain at last is graciously disposed to proceed to a considera- tion of the subject. Senor Luzuriaga, doubt- less, desired to anticipate the warlike reaction which he apprehended would follow the arrival back on these shores of Mr. Soulé, This appre- hension was very natural, after the cavalier treatment which our Minister suifered during his official residence at Madrid, and the cool hauteur and contemptuous indifference with which all his spproaches for specific negotia- tions were set aside. But, quick as Senor Lu- zuriaga has been to protest his amiable incli- nations, it is very likely that his protestations have come too late for the desired purpose. What does Spain want? She wants an ar- mistice--she wants {time. She wants to hold us on the conciliation and pacific tack until her protectors, England and France, are relieved of Russia. Then she will wheel about, and pro- test that she owes us nothing, will concede nothing; and that she defies us and dares us to interfere with her internal or external regula- tions for the island of Cuba. This is what we may expect, if our administration shall prove to be credulous and green enough to swallow the sugar-coated promises of Senor Luzuriaga. But the sensation here which it was ex- pected would follow the return of our Minis- ter, has come. ‘The publication of his official correspondence is producing a prodigious re- action, not only against the further continu- ance of a milk and water policy like that of Marcy, but decidedly against the Marcy Ca- binct, and in favor of a new one, upon the de- cisive platform of the Aix-la Chapelle manifes- to. Hence these reports from Washington and Philadelphia of a projected early re-construc- tion of the Cabinet and our diplomatic corps. Soulé, meantime, can afford to keep quiet yet for a season, while his correspondence is working 80 strongly iv his favor. it there were any reliance to be placed upon the plans and purposes of Mr. Pierce from one éay to another, we should feel bold to say that, from present appearances, indications, facts and romors, there will be a new Cabinet, on the Aix-la-Chapelle policy, and a corresponding re- osganization of our diplomatic representatives to the Western European ‘Powers before the first of July. Nay more, we should fecl pretty sanguine of an extra session of Congress, and of such recommendations to both houses, con- cerning our affairs with Spain, as would fully carry out the recent bold and emphatic sugges- tions of the Washington Union. It these sug- gestions were intended to fcel the public puls2, we suspect that even Mr. Pierce is convinced that action, and decisive action, is the very thing desired by an overwhelming majority of all sections, classes and parties of the Ameri- ean people. Why then hesitate, and delay, and prevaricate any longer?

But, apart tr om the unbecoming character of such exhi- bid one, there are Osher considerations which are uicient to condemn them. They are not mereiy brute! aad contemptible, but they are poitiver, dangerous. Only fancy the influence likely to bo produced on the general health of children by the congregation together of so many Infants, having in them the incipient seeds of the diseases incident to their age, sach as the measles, emallpox, and other conta- gions maladies. ‘he nursery is the proper place for children, and the idea of removing them from it to the overheated and infectious atmosphere of an exhibition room. could only have originated in the brain of a heartless and case-burdened showman, who is accustomed to extract gold from the miseries of others, and who thinks as little of making his harvest out of the rufferings of the infant generation as he did out of thoee of & poor old worn out negrees. Barnam is in fact trying to brave the moral sense of the community by originating these preposterous and brutal experiments. Tis last shameful essay of this kind was the show ofmock Shanghaes and Cochin China roosters, which has been 80 severely, but humorously, caricatured up in Burnham's “Hen Fever.” If there was any useful object to be gained by these exhibi- tions, whetber of fowls or of babies, some excuse might be found for them. But Barnum pretends to nothing of the sort. His only pur- pose is to attract visiters to his Museum ; and provided he fills his pockets, be cares but little what the public may think of his proceedings- In a postecript to his autobiography, he will, probably, at some future day, give us an inside view of his own opinion of them, which will, no doubt, be as edifying and instructive as his commentaries upon the previous episodes of his audacious and unblushing career. In the meanwhile, it is painful to think that there should be found in our community ladies of respectable character and position who donot shrink from lending their names to these dis- gusting exhibitions. They have evidently been duped by Barnum into the belief that they are advancing the interests of humanity by giving their aid to this great baby move- ment. Ladies are proverbially weak on this point, and we have no doubt that the casuistry of the ingenious showman overcame any linger- ing doubts that they might have entertained as to the propriety of their conduct. We have said enough, we hope, to convince them that they can best tarther infant development by corfining it to the nursery. Exhibition rooms are not, like hot-houses, favorable to artificial growth. Noiuication mm New Yor«.—-The select committee of the Arrembly on the subject, have reported through Mr. Phelps, of Onon- daga, a bill entitied “An act for the better preservation of the constitutional rights and liberties of the people of this State,” which we re-publish to-day. As will be perceived upon looking into this measure, it is nothing more nor less than a bill to set the constitution at defiance, in the nullification of the Fugitive Slave law. The bill provides in behalf of fa- gitive slaves :— 1.—The writ of habeas corpus. 2.—A trial by jury. 3.—Fines for the arrest of persons as fugi- tive slaves, who are not such. 4.—A denial of the jails for the temporary safe-keeping of fugitives. 5.—An faterdict against all public officers of the State assisting in the arrest and restoration of fugitive slaves to their masters. 6,—A similar interdict to the State militia. 7.—Repeal of a conflicting law. fer obedience to the Jaws of Congress, 9.--Expenees of this new law provided for. 10.—The act to go into effect immediately. This is clean work, and if this bill be passed, there immediately arises a conflict between C gress and the State, and the anti-slavery agita- | tion will receive the exciting impetus of open and defiant nullification. Such an act is an appropriate appendix to the re-election of Seward, and is a practieal develope- ment of his seditious and disunion programme for future operations. We shall see whether his followers in the Legislature have or have not the hardihood to carry out a measure so fraught with the elements of agitation, sedi- tion, revolution, fire and slaughter as this, Pass this bill, and every man may as well resolve at once whether he is for the Northera | or the Southern confederacy, for it must speedily ripen into secession and disunion. We eha!l watch the fate of this impudent scheme of nullification with the deepest interest. Iti is vhs vent question.

Indeed, looking over the whole affair, it appears that there is much better rea- cons for the New York prees appointing a com- mittee to inspect and report upon the Logisla- ture, than for the Legislature to perform the same office for the press. Kissane’s Case—Vatvuk or A PENITENT Sreecn —The Court of Sessions has been en- gaged for many days past on the trial of a man named Kissane, for extensive forgeries on the Chemical Bank, in this city. The case exhibit- ed some remarkable features, more especially the coolness and enterprise with which the scheme was devised in so distant a place as Cincinnati, and the ingenuity, skill and deter- mination with which its details were carried out here. But the speech of Kissane and the sentence of the Recorder are the most sugges- tive points of the whole affair. From some admissions and inuendoes in the declarations of the prisoner, it is evident that bis conscience was ill at ease during the trial, and that there were other offences preying on hig mind. He endeavored, indeed, to cloak them over with an expression of contrition; but it was apparent to all present that he labored under the consciousness that he was an old of- fender against the laws of his country. His previous history goes far to establish that im- pression, Every one recollects the extraordi- nary circumstances connected with the burning of the steamboat Martha Washington, on the waters of the Mississippi, a few years ago. Se- veral individuals, all occupying respectable business positions, were charged with having conspired to set the vessel on fire, with the intention of defrauding a number of insurance offices, both on this and on the other side of the Atlantic. Kissane was one of the parties upon whom suspicion fell, and his case was investi- gated in one of the Western courts. The burning ot that vessel was a terrible affair. It was proved on the various trials that she had been laden to an unusual extent with boxes and bales, apparently full of goods, but in reality containing nothing but rub- bish, and which were insured extensively in various offices throughout the country. At a suspicious hour, and under the most suspicious circumstances, the vessel took fire whilst pro- ceeding down the river, and numbers of unfor- tunate individuals perished in the catastrophe. And yet all the parties concerned in this dia- bolical plot escaped punishment, and have Jately commenced actions against the different offices in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and other cities, in which the cargo was insured, The share which Kissane had in this affair no doubt caused him some severe twinges of conscience on his late trial. He felt that his evil course of life could no longer escape the punishment which conduct like his is, sooner or later, certain to entail. Thanks to a few rhetorical flourishes, he got off much easier than he expected. Our amiable Recorder, who seems to be the legatee of the legal lore and kind heart of our late Recorder Riker, was moved to compassion by the apparent penitence of the sinner, but nevertheless concluded that be must “suffer some.” He accordingly gave him only two years and a half in the State prison for a crime which, under other circumstances, would probably have been visited with the fall punishment specified by the law. Tre Misston to France.—Several of our co- temporaries, both here and elsewhere, still harp on the mistion to France, which, it is said, Pierce intended to give us but did not. They need not trouble themselves on that score any longer. The mission to France, or any other mission, is not worth our taking. When a new man has been clected President in 1856, we may eondescend by hard solicitation to take the post of Secretary of State, in order to reorganize on 4 proper footing the foreign policy of the go- vernment. But we would not keep the office over a year, and then we might he induced by | kind treatment, (but not by subscriptions of 8.--Penalties to State officers who may pre- | $100,000, as in the case of Daniel Webster,) to take the post of Secretary of the Treasury, or- ganize that dilapidated department, and put it in proper training for prosperous financial ac- tion. After these labors we should retire from the field, prepare tor Greenwood Cemetery, aud leave the future to the Know Nothings. ‘Tis Centra Park -—-Day after day Mayor Wood improves. His next proceeding after breaking up the fashionable gambling houses— or taking preliminary steps towards that end— was to veto the rerolution of the Common Council curtailingthe Central Park. It is very hard to say how the municipal bodies proceed ; on what principle their legislation is based, or with what design balf their meacures are planned, With regard to this resolution which originated in the Board of Councilisen, the simplest in- | terpretation appears to be that it was suggested | by o spirit of speculation. Some parties whose | lands were in the vicinity and would have been aflected by the curtailment of the Park were in all probability at the bottom of the scheme. is not unlikely as the Mayor hints in the begin- | ning of his veto message, that some disappointed ern papers say that the New York press is un- | advocates of Jones's Vark bed a band in the paseage of the rerolution ; desiring of course to kill the Central Park scheme by iaches. Fortunately, Fernando Wood was true to his — duty and the attempt was frustrated, It will doubtless be renewed, and it rests with the citizens to say whether or no the Mayor shall be sustained in what he has done, | For cur part as we cannot conceive anything more imperatively needed by the mechanics of this city than a Park to breathe fresh air in, so we cannot think of a scheme more worthy of public reprebation than one to curtail the size of that Park, or throw any other obstacle in the way of its completion. If any one wanted to enlarge it, we would enpport them. When it ie propoted to curtail it, the least the public can do is to declare its dissatisfaction in a tone not to be misunderstood, and to give to the Mayor their full countenance and support.

The anti-slavery issue, the temperance issue, the old fossil remnants of the whigs, and the new police bill, are all in- tended as various instruments by which the Presidential nominatioa of Seward in the next Legislature might be secured. If the Know Nothings in this State unite in opposition to Seward, and the democracy of Tammany Hall reorganize their elements, a fight will take place between those parties, and Seward may be demolished in the conflict. Cavzp In.—The terrible oyster house critic of Forrest’s performances appears to have caved in very suddenly. Why so? We tell him there is no occasion for alarm—that For- rest has too much good eense to interfere with 80 active an agent in filling his houses; and that Marshall is too shrewd a manager to per- wit a libe) suit to interrupt a sensation which pays so well as this. Moreover, notwithstand- ing the verdict in the Fry case, a public jour- nalist has the right to criticise an actor’s or a manager’s shoricomings. Don’t be frightened off by the Fry verdict. That was a bad and unjust precedent, as we sball ultimately prove, even if we have to carry it up to the highest court in the State. Go ahead. Forrest has a broad pair of shoulders, and Marshall has no objection. Don’t be alarmed, Mr. Fry, or Mr. Sly, by the Fry case. The law will take care of that. Forrest is not Fry.

We always understood that the admirable Badi- ali was one of the most quict and peaceable of the troupe. What on earth is the matter? THE LATEST NEWS.

Rumors are again afloat of a reconstruction, men and policy, of the Cabinet. The plan now appears to be an entirely new Cabinet, the present one to be disposed of an follows:— And this programme, or something like it, is to be carried out very soon—because why? Under the old law our first class diplomats abroad get an outfit of nine thousand dollars, chargé’s $4,500; but this law expires on the 30th June, and the now law, which then comes into effect, stope all outfits, and substitutes an addi- tional talary of from five to seven thousand dollars a year. Thus, you will perceive, that by making these Droposed diplomatic appointments before the 30th June, the appointees get their outfits and the increased salary besides; but if they wait till the Ist of July, the outfits are all lost. You may, therefore, count pretty surely upon # great cabinet and diplomatic reconstruction before the 30th June.

Rumor says that Dallas is to succeed Marcy, and that as +oon as things can be arranged there is to bea new Cabinet, ond a new set of diplomatic appointments, I am further advised that £oulé and Mfr, Dallas have almost ‘as good as resolved upon the following ministry :-— George M.

Of course, Soulé is the choice of Dallas, and is, in spite of Marcy, stilla favorite of the President. Wise, it is Suppored, will be viefeated, and must be provided for in ‘he Cabinet or in # foreign mission.
