The News. The anniversaries have commenced, and tho city is filled with white cravated doctors of divinity, deaccns, and strong-minded women. Tho tem- perance topic will probably claim a large share of attention this season. Congratalations upon the jpessage of the Maine law, and denunciations of the Bquor dealers, are capital subjects for declamation; and vore know better how to avail of them than the temperance orators, both lay and clerical. Toe anti-slavery egitators have made arrangements for ‘am extensive spread at the Metropoiitan theatre, where Senators Wilecn and Sumner, of Massacha- setts, will do the heavy business; bu‘ the Garri- seniaa Innatics—the fanny fellows of the party— hod their discussions at a houze of less presensions, 4 programme of the vations missionary and other meetings to be held is published in another columa. J accordance with our usual custom we publish this morning abstracts of several anniversary ser. mona which were delivered last evening, in various oburebes throughout the city. Owing to the defe. five manner it which some of the notices were made oui, our reporters were unable to find the churches, @aignated. The business meetings commence to day, and will continue duriog the week. We trust the committees of arrangewents will makes prover Provision for tre reporters. By doing this they will mo: cnly promote the interests of their respective moeketies, but also accommodate the gentlemen of ‘the prees. In some of the churches last night the me porters were afforded every facility, while in others they oculd not obiain even a seat. The Rev. Dr. Storrs, of Braintree, (Mass.,) preached last evening in the Madison square Pres Dyterisn church, (Dr. Adams’,) in aid of the Ame ricen Home Missionary Society.

We ere informed that more than five hundred Latter Day Sainte arrived at Philadelphia, from Liverpool, on Sa‘urday, in the ship Juverta; and four huadred agd twenty four other zealots resched the same port a fdw days previous, all bound direct for Great Salt Lake City. It is stated that on the retarn of the Secretary of the Navy to Waebington, on or abvut the 20th inst., the frigaie Congress, now at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, ready for sea, wil! be put in commission, and fail to the Mediterranean to relieve the Cambsr- bend, the flag sbip of the squadron on that statioa. C.mmodore Breese will go out in her. Tnere is great difficulty, however, in obtaining seamen, not- wWithstarding the bounty given under the new regu- lations designed to encourage them to take servise in the navy. New regu'ations forthe government of the mv wine revenue service have recentiy been issued by the Tressury Departmen’.

At frequent intervals, since the inauguration of Mr. Pierce, on custom house and diplomatic appointments, on the slavery question and on the Cubs question, we have had squabbles and troubles in the Cabinet threatening a rapture ; but through “ the cohesive power of the public plunder ” they have been successively patched up, and the ministry have stuck together. But the case of Kansas admits of no such patcbing, dodging or shuffling as the Ostend platform or the various phases of the Cuba question. It must be met face to face; and our despateh of this morning from Washington dis- closes a Cabinet orisis upon the subject, of the most serious and ominous import. Ia a word, upon the single question whether Governor Reeder, of Kansas, shall be sustained or super- seded, is suspended the existence of the Cabi- net, the administration, the democracy, and the drift of the approaching Presidential election. And as by Mr. Pierce’s decision the Soath or the North have to be cheated, we may readily account for his perplexity. It is the turning point of his career, either northward or south- ward. Any farther attempt to carry water on both eboulders, in reference to this Kansas im- broglio, is certain to overwhelm him, and that very speedily, for the case admits neither of tinkering nor delay. The appointment of Mr. Reeder as Governor of Kansas, and his free soil affiliations and land speculating proceedings in that Territory, be: tray the cloven foot of Mr. Pierce’s free soil in- stincts. It is manifest that his Buffalo platform proclivities, and the land speculating policy of the Kitchen Cabinet, worked together in the ap- pointment of Reeder, and in behalf of the ex- clusion of slavery from Kansas. Now, the question recura, since the coup d’état of the Missourians, what will Mr. Pierce do? Will he uphold or supersede his free soil Governor? If he intends to sustain him, one of the new re- giments of the army should accompany him back to the Territory, and a proclamation should be issued, warning the Missourians to keep out of Kansas, The scattering newspapers of the North, still in the service of the administration, are all down upon the Missourians Conspicuous among them, and generally supposed to sp2ak by authority, is the Boston Post, aif that or- gan says that:— ‘dhe principle contended for is, that the actual inhabi- tants of a Territory, in a manner as the inhabi- tanta of a State, shall have the rignt to elect their offi- cers, and, on the formation of a constitution, to shape its features. The actual settlera of Kansaa hive a right to be protected in the applieatioa of such principle; and the Mirsourians, beyond a question, have ao more right to go over the ‘ine of their State and interfere in the election of members of the Legislature, than the Sioux Indians have. Such proceedings admit of no. de- fence. They are most wanton violations of Tercitorial rights. The Albany Argus says: “It is easy to see that a perseverance in the attempt to shape the legislation of Kansas by foreiga and violent control, will be attended by renewed excitement, endangering the peace of the country;” and then it warns the South that the free soilers in Kansas must be permitted to act without restaint, otherwise, says this ad- ministration oracle :— We say to the South plainly and honestly, that unless thjs is done, Northern men who have stood on a com- mon platform with the South, can stand there no longer. Northern feeling will not tolerate it. Here, then, we see that the most conservative of the administration journals of the North havejoined the cause of Reeder aud his free soil land speculators. The South need no longer look to the Northern democracy for support. They have gone over and joined the Kitchen Cabinet spoilemen, and the free soil crusades that are to wrest the Territory of Kensas from the Souchern squatters, and make it an abolition rendezvous for fugitive slaves and underground railroad conspiracies against the people of Missouri and Arkansas, and the general interests of the South. We perceive, alco, in these manifestations of Northern democratic sentiment, the tendency of the admivistration free soil faction of the North to a fusion with the Seward Holy Alii- ance. It is, also, very evident, from these strong indications, that the only party of the North which can be safely supported by the South in 1856, will be the great national Know Nothing organization, cleansed and purified, as it soon will be, of the dirt and refuse of the Massach usetts anti-slave- ry propangada, and ail such seditious sectional affiliations. Thus far, the practical administration of the government ot Kansas illustrates the free soil ‘Van Buren principles of Mr. Pierce very cloat- ly. Van Buren, for a time, made various hol- low professions of loyalty to Southern rights, and he was believed to a great extent, until his true principles were brought out by the Baffalo plattorm. Mr. Pierce is a free soil Bourbon of the Van Buren stripe, and in the affairs of Kan. sas he has only been “ followiag in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor.” If the people of Virginia have any further doubt upon the subject, let them demand of Mr. Pierce a final decision in the case of Mr. Reeder at once. Otherwise the matter will be held in abeyance till after the Virginia electioo, and then Mr, Reeder will be returned, with a detachment of troops to back him in bis land speculations, and to secyre the monopoly of Kansas Territo- ry to the squatters of our free soil emigration societies, at the point of the bayonet. Let the Virginians, and Davis and Dob- bin of the Cabinet, insist upon an imme- diate decision, one way or the other, in the case of Governor Reeder. Let Mr. Wise in- sist upon it, or consent to be duped as well as to be defeated. Jumppve Jit Crow Avonest Tae Natioxs.— The time was when we,‘ the universal Yankee na- tion,” were exposed to the jeers, the horse laughs and the guifaws of every self conceited Cock- ney who happened to have been born “within sound of Bow bells,” tor our tendency to rua into ecatasies of admiration whenever we got a foreign lion amongst us. We certainly were betrayed into occasional extremes in that way, more particularly ia the cases of the Swedish Nightingale and the great Hungarian mounte- bank. Bnt curious to say, we have completely reversed the application of the reproach of here-worsbip. We have become so doubtful of foreign celebrities that we refuse to re- cognise even the genuine from the spurious, In the fear of oar bending the knee to false idole, we bave become complete infidels in re- gard to European reputations, In the mean- while, it is ammsing to find that our former caricaturists have assumed the legacy of our cart-off weaknesses. Witness their glorifigation of the Boulogne advonturer—the special con- stable of the chartiet riots the rejected ot English patrician circles—and the butt aad laughing-stock of the Lordon Times. Talk of Yankee simplicity after this | NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MAY 7, 1855. ‘The speech delivered by Louis Ne reply to the address of the London Corpora- tion, suggests some reflections on the value of the resources that will be brought to bear on the decision of the great contest in which the leading European Powers are now engaged. ‘The French Emperor bases his hopes of a suc- cessful result as much on the superior finascial and commercial wealth of she allies as on the tried valor of their soldiers and sailors. Let us examine & little how far these hopes are well founded. A great war can only be carried on by the uneparing use of both men and money. Money is the dominating element ot all wars, and this element is the product of commercial and ma- nufacturing industry. The Western Powers possess two-thirds of the commercial and ms- nufacturing resources of Earope, and by the aid of these resources they may be enabled to carry on the war for several years, As regards supp‘ies of men, their means are almost equally formidable. France can raise army after army without difficulty, and even England, if put to it, could raise large military contingents, The allies will be, therefore, in all probability, the attacking parties throughout this conflict, whilst Russia will be compelled to maintain « defensive attitude. The latter Power possesses only a fourth or fitth of the material means of her opponents; bat taking into consideration her geograpbical position, the vastness of her territories and her popula- tion, the semi-barbarous and fanatical character of her people, the unity of religious purpose which animates them—(a condition analogous to that of Europe at the period of the Cra- sades)—and the smaller expenditure to which she will be put by a contest carried on on her own soil, we may regard the belligerents as pretty equally matched, Success will of course attend upon that side which will be enabled to endure this state of things the longest, whether its means of resistance be derived from physi- cal or financial resources. But, in speculating upon the probabilities of the war in reference to the nations engiged in it, it becomes important to consider what effect it wi)l have upon the interests of the rest of the world, but more particularly upon those of oar own country. A great war isa great process of destruction. In five years the belligerentsmay exhaust half.a generation of able bodied men, and the accumulated fruits of thirty years in- dustry and savings, In the commencement of tuch @ conflict, before its conditions and proba- ble influences become apparent, the demand for provisions and materiel for the supply of the armies of the Western Powers may confer some commercial advantages upor this and other countries; but these advautages will be very partial and but of brief duration. Tae reac- tion of monetary pressure in Europe which will be brought about by the war, will soon more than counterbalance any slight benefits that we may derive from this source. As soon as Eag- land and France have exhausted all their dis- posable means, they will begin calliog in the debts due to them, and as we are among their lsrgeet debtors, we shall be the first to foel the preseure of the screw. The immediate effect of the exhaustion of the means at present at the disposal of the allies will be the suspension of specie payments in Europe. The same re- sult followed close upon the commencement of the last Continental war. Itis the inevitable consequence of belligerent Powers being com- pelled to pay in specie for the supplies which they draw from other countries for the support of the armies which they are obliged to keep on foot. For this purpose the allied govern- ments will be under the necessity of draining the vaults of their banks of their gold, and of resorting to a paper currency for the transac- tion of all business within their own limits. In calling in, as they will be compelled to do, the debts due them by the United States, they will oblige us to pay them in gold and silver. In the course of a little time the effect of this continual drain will be to undermine the ex- tended currency of this country, numbering at the present moment over eleven hnadred banks, most of which are weak enough as it is. Thus it will be seen, that although the first effect of the demand for breadstuffs which has been created by the war may benefit certain special interests here, it can last for but a brief season, and that should hostilities continue for any considerable period, they must have a most in- jurious effect not only on our commercial rela- tions, but on all the home interests which are now flourishing. Forrest AND HIS CxiTIcs.—Mr. Forrest has just concluded an engagement of seven weeks atthe Broadway theatre. It has been highly successiul, in the pecuniary sense of the word, and Mr. Forrest has pocketed at least seven thousand dollars as his share of the receipts He has, during this engagement, been bitterly aveailed in a series of articles published in the Tribune, which fact has caused public atten- tion to be more particularly directed to his performances. The main point simed at by the writer of these critiques was to prove that Mr. Forrest could not properly interpret the Shokeperean parts which he bas placed in repertory. The general impression has been that these articles were gotten up by some friend and admirer of Macready, imported from Lor don for that purpose; but, on the other hand, it is stated that they were applied to Forrest by one of the Willis family. Be this, however, as it may, the people seem to have arrived at the conclusion that Shakspere’s heroes may be ef- fectively represented according to different con- ceptions, and that the artist’s judgment is worthy of as much consideration as the critic’s. They, have, therefore, patronized Forrest and the Broadway theatre the rame asever, notwith- standing the Willises, the Tribune, Macready and the London critics. They evidently do not thirk that Mr. Forrest's mannerisms prevent him from playing Shaksperean parts well. At the close of his engagement, on Saturday, night, Mr. Forrest was called before the cartain, and he addressed the audience at some length. His epeech was discreet and sensible—the best thing of the kind that has ever come from him —he puffed himself without pitehing into any one. It really seems that he is going to take a common sense view of things hereafter. A Lirrtz Too Fast.—Some of our New Jer- sey contemporaries undertake to correct our report of the late State Council of the Know Nothings at Newark, and they say that the in- formal vote or opinion there given in favor of George Law, was all a joke. What do these outside Jersey organs know about it? Nothing. We are satisfied that our report in question was correct, and that George Law is no joke, bi Spe liveoak ‘candidate, even a" "bony? is find hi done with him, Inquire of Dz, Desbler, nents; however, will be ve apt to im a hard joke to crack before they. are ‘Orus anny Dy the Italian Opera in this city has displayed 80 much good sense, good taste and energy in the management of its affairs—the audiences have been eo numerous, fashionable and intellectual —the operas have been so well performed—the artists have been so quiet, industrious and meritorious—that it seemed for once that the Opera was to be successfal, that the fushionable world was to be gratified with its favorite amusement as a fixed fact, and that there was to be one sacred refined circle in this semi-bar- barous city. The troubles of twenty years-— the ances of oyster house critics--the rivalries an? jealousies of artists—bad all been submerged by the skill and tact with which the affairs of the management were conducted, and the production of “ William Tell” Was the crowning point of their exertions. We began to forget the fiascos of Palmo and others—of the younger Fry as a manager—of the elder Fry as a composer--the varying fortunes of Maretzek, and the sudden break down of Ole Bull; we began to realize at last that the Opera could really be made to live, to succeed, and to eupport itself, with the exercise of a little common sease and business tact in the details of its management. But this prospect of spring and sunshice for the Opera at the Acudemy of Music now seems in danger of being suddenly eclipsed by a fall blaze of summer heat in another quarter. In other words, a rival Opera hassprung up at ano- ther establishment, which bids fair to divide the attention of the musical public. In the first flush of the prosperity of the Opera at the Academy the managers have to contend against a new rival, possessed of such brilliant and striking talent that the public will become infatuated with her at once. This will divide the au- diences, diminish the receipts, and reduce the balance in the treasury of the former establish- ment by the. opposition of the new company. The Opera at the Academy bas some advantage in the ekill of the management, the perfection of detail, and the general excellence of the artists, but the new rival, who has just made her appearance, possesees such brilliant talents that she, alone, is a sufficient guarantee for the support of the establishment where she is en- gaged. We never can have a good thing ‘in this city, without being over-dosed with it. No sooner does one opera company mset with a temporary success—a little flush of victory—than another springs up with sufficient strength to divide the audiences and thus reduce matters to the old standard of thin houses and empty cash boxes. We can see but one result to this rivalry of operatic managers, if itis continued. The peb- ple will not'support two opera companies—one or both must sink, and probably we shall be left with no Opera at all. Posteript—Lute and Important.—Since the above was written, we learn, much to our aston- ishment, that an arrangement or contract has been effected among the responsible parties, by which the two Opera troupes have been united, to be hereafter under the cole management of the existing committee of the Academy—that the “Barber of Seville,” with Madame La Grange as Rosina, advertised for to-night at Niblo’s theatre, will be postponed to to-morrow night, and be transferred to the Academy—and that-hereafter, for a week or more, there will be a performance every night at the Academy —Ii Trovatore” one night, and “ Il Barbiere” the next. We learn further, that the committee of the Academy will make all these annoance- ments in the evening journals of to-day. If these promises are energetically carried out, we may at last consider that the Italian Opera, on the most liberal footing, will be permanently established in New York. THE LATEST NEWS. BY MAGNET AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, Exciting Cabinet News. ANOTHER CABINET CKISIS—KNUW NOTHING TROUBLES — KANSAS TROUBLES— WHAT ARE WE COMING 10? WAsminaToN, May 6, 1856. I understand, from good and reliable authority, that the President gives up the Virginia election to tne Know Nothings, notwithetanding the vain boasting and hum- bugging of the Richmond Enquirer and other Virginia Cabinet organs. In conversation with a Virginia geatie- man, the other day, Mr. Pierce expressed his tears in very elcquent terme. Said he:—‘Edon’t know what we are coming to. There isa mystery about the progress of these Know Notbings im the South which is perfectly inexplicable. And if they carry Virginia, that last re- maining bulwark of the democracy, God only knows what is to become of ua.” The Cabinet are somewhat divided upon this business. Cusbing is ransacking the archives of history, including the records of China, to prove, in a legal opinion, that Know Nothingisia is a publiz uisance. Guthrie don’t care a fig about it, He is ready at any time to go back to Kentucky, and resume his business in flat-boats and shipments of pork and lard oil to New Orleans, Jeff Davia in oasy, for he knows that if the Know Nothings prevail in the South it will be upon Southern principles, and it will kick up a revolutioz, and Jeff is always for a revolution, But above ali other perplexities of this bothered ad- ministretion, at this time, isthat ‘ infernal Kansas im- broglio,”’ as they call it inthe State Department. Tae President feels that he is bound to stick to Reeder and For- ney,and their affiliated free soll land speculators; but he trembles in view of the consequences. The other members of the Cabinet, except Davis and Dobbin, are also with Reeder; but Davis and Dobbin are fearfully in earnest against Reeder, and are resolved that he shall be super- seded, The chances are, therefore, as the agitation of there Kanses troubles coms home to the administration for action, that there will spring up such an excitement upon the quention as will rend the Cabinet into frag- ments, Marcy, hit or miss, will not go out unless they all go. He bas been heard to say, ‘The Cabinet may be changed; but may I bs d—d if I leave unless the change is complete, and we all go out together."’ Mark you, if Kansas and Reeder do not bring Mr. Pierce to his trumps. He must now show his hand, and the result will be ex- citing. He is among the quicksands of Kansas, and the surf will soon come rolling in. As Mr. Pierce nays, God only knows what is coming!
