By the expected arrival we shall also receive later news from the South Pacific. Gov. Gardner, of Massachusetts, has declined to yemove Judge Loring from the office of Probate Judge, as requested by a nearly unanimous vote of both branches of the Legislature. His Council, too, were adverse to retaining the Judge in office. The “Governor has, therefore, taken the responsibility; nd although he will moat assuredly for this act receive the hot denunciations of the abolitionists, yet his course will be viewed with satisfaction by ali men whose good opinion ia worth having. A bill vullifying the Fugitive Slave law passed to a third ;cading in the Massachusetts Senate yester- day. ‘The anniversaries are drawing to a close—indeed, ‘the mos} important societies have already finished up their business and adjourned. Yesterday the ‘weather was delightfully pleasant, and the attend- ance at the various meetings, particularly of ladies, was more numerous than on any day previous during the week, except, happily, at the abolition gatherings. The American Anti-Slavery Society—the Garri- sonian abolition party—held its second day’s avni vergary sessions at the Free Will Baptist Church, Bullivan street. The attendance at both morning and evening sessions was very thin. The day was spent in the most fanatical and contemptible dis cussion in reference to the proposition to dissolve the Union and establish a Nozthern confederation. In point of moderation and good sense the colored speakers stood in strong contrast to the wild, ab- surd and ranting orators of the white race, who ex- hibited on the occasion. The New York State Colonization Society cele- brated the first exercises of its anniversary in the Re‘ormed Dutch Church, Lafayette place, last even- ing, before a crowded audience. Rev. Dr. Gourley mace an opening address, in which he denounced th iti d disunicn harangues ot the aboli frente (teers cls nt si Lota utube’ be im- jure the cause of the colored man, and alienate the feelings of all humane Southerners from the cause of African colonization. Rev. Mr. Pinney, returned from his fourth voyage to Liberia, interested the society: intensely with a vivid description of the actual state of the cetilers in the coloay. Their wants, faults, progress, and capa- bilities were pointedly alluded to, and the Gangers a‘tending the acclimation of the colored man from the United States not concealed. Tho building of better depots for the reception of emi. grants on lancing, and the cultivation of a healthy American trade with the eoast, he lcoked on as the nly means of salvation of Africa now. The finances were reported good. It appeared from the annual report that the British government had presented the republic with a vessel of war, ard Napoleon III, had sent cne thoesand s:and of arms with accoutre- ments. The society meets this evening in the eburch of Rev. Dr. Bethune, in Brooklyn. At the National Conn:il of colored pe2ple reso. Jutions were adopted appvinting a committee to aid eolered youth in cbtatning ivetruction as mecha: Dice; also recommending exertions to counteract the efforts of the Colonization Society. Frad. Douglass presented repcris upon the educational privileges, the religions and beuevolent so feties, and the number of mechanics among the colored people. The proceedings were conducted with de- corum, which may be accounted for by the fact that Fred. and one or two others transacted all che bu. eimese. The ninth anniversary of the Prison Association of this city was hel4 Mset night in the Cnurch of the Puritens at Union square. Speiches were made by the Revs. T. L. Cuyler and Samuel Osgood. From the anus] report we find that $3,090 62 had been expended by the society during the last year. Over $wo thousand criminals had been assisted by the areociation, and much goo’ had been done. Tre Temperarce Union held meeting lass night at the Tabernacle, at which the Rsv. De. Tyng pre- sided, end made an address. Addresses were alio made by Rey. Mr. Coombes, of Philadelphia, and Hon. G. W, Bterling, cf Poughkeepsie. Fall reports of the doivgs of several anviversary meetiogs, in- elodit g those of the Hebrew Chrietian Association, the American Bible Society, the Swedenborgian Printiog and Publishing Society, and the Institation for the Bliod, are published in our columus this Morning. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the New York and New Haven Railroad was held ia New Haven yesterday. The old board of directors wae re-elected. A brief sycopsis of the report of the directcrs is given under the telegraphic head. ‘With regard to the suits involving tho Schuyler stock, the report says the counsel of the company is confidentin the success of the corporation in the position it bas taken. Accounts are received of the prevaience of malig. want cholera in Kansas and among the emigrants on the steamers on the Upper Mississippi. The disease is said to be unusually virulent. At an election for Jadge of Probate in Mobile re cently, the Know Nothing candidate was chosen by @ mejority of eleven hundred over his democratic competitor. At Providence, on Wednesday, the Know Nothing ticket for municipal officers was elected by @ handsome majority. In the Supreme Court yesterday, an application ‘was made for an order to authorize the sale of the John street Methodist church property, After a statement of facts on behalf of the petitioners, Judge Roosevelt granted the application. It was pro- posed by a majority of the trustees of the church to remove up town. The minority objected, and hence the rerort to the court.

Yes terdsy thirteen dealers were wrought before one of the Justices, and held to bail in three hanired dollars to answer. We learn that the Kinney Nicaragua expedition, which has been #0 long delayed, will positively sail on Saturday. Col. Kinney and Consal Fabese hava declared their determination to go at all hazards. There are between four and five hundred men shipped, and all is in readiness to,start at the time specified. The sharp built steamship United States is to convey the adventurers to their place of deati- nation. This vessel is said to be remarkably fleet, having once made the run from Havana to this city in three days and twenty-taree hours—the quickest time on record. The trial of the persons engaged in the riots at the election in Williamsburg on the 7th of Novem- ber last, commenced yesterday in the Kings county Court ot Sessions. Coston continued active yesterday, with sales of about 5,000 a 6,000 bales, part in tranvsitu. The market for grades above good middling closed at }c. advance. Flour, forall grades below extra or high fancy brands, advanced from 12\c. a 25c. per barrel. A small lot of white Michigan wheat brought $2 65. Indian corn again advanced. Mixed and white sold et $116, and yellow Southern at $1 18. 30,000 bushels Western mixed sold, for delivery in July, at $1, and 12,000 for the present month, at $112. Pork continued firm and active at fall prices. All other provisions were in good demand at full prices. Freights were dull, and offerings light. The Programme of the War in Europe. One thing at least has been gained by the failure of the allied arms at Sebastopol: it has forced the Western governments to show their hands. The British government has made no sign ; sunk under the weight of aristocratic im- becility, Lord Palmerston and his colleagues are content to follow the lead of their ally. But the Emperor has unfolded his programme in the columns of the Moniteur and in his speech to the Lord Mayor of London; if not with as much real sincerity as is usual on this side the Atlantic, at least with a fair appearance of candor and manliness. The first anomaly which strikes the reader of these manifestoes is the contrast between the attitude of the Western Powers now, and that which they presented one year ago. Then the war was for the balance of power. Russia was about to swallow Turkey, andif Western Europe did not interfere, not only woulda faithful ally be crushed under their eyes, but they themselves would be the next prey of the Muscovite. Duty as well as policy bade them draw the sword. This was, as everybody re- members, the ground taken by both France and England during the period antecedent to and cotemporaneous with the early scenes of the war. The press of both countries was full of it. Men were warned that Nicholas, like Na- poleon I., aimed at universal empire; and an honest Englishman, John Bright, who did not seem to think the balance of power worth fight- ing for, was asked in tones of thunder whether he would wait to fight till the Russian masters of Constantinople were at Dover? Some surprise was even expressed at the lukewarmness of the United States, who. it was said, would soon feel the consequences, if the balance of power were destroyed and the Russ permitted to progress in his schemes of aggrandizement, Now, it seems, all this ischanged. It is no longer for the balance of power that Napoleon calls the British and French youth into the field, but for civilization, and the advancement of humanity. Russia is no longer an aggres- sor; she is an obstacle to human progress. Then it was Nicholas who attacked Europe and needed driving back ; now, it appears, it is Na- poleon and Victoria who desire to move on- wards and cannot from the obstacles throwa in the way by Russia. Then universal empire— the empire of the Cossacks—was the bugbear ; now it is Russian barbarism, which nothing but civilized bayonets and minié rifles can extir- pate, that is said to lie at the bottom of the quarrel. The change is an odd one, though possibly a mere matter of names. Ten years hence we shall know many dark secrets in relation to this war: not impossibly monarchical and oligarchical conspiracies to divert men’s minds from real evils by conjuring need- less ones: in the meantime. it is to be hoped that the allies will derive benefit from their change of platform and of flag. Ia course of time, as Austria’s defection becomes more apparent, and the King of Prussia gives free reins to his family feelings, the Western mo- barchs may be forced to change them once more, and to raise boldly the cap of liberty, and the banner of separate nationalties. A year, nay, six months might render such a movement a necessity. Until they do, the struggle will be looked upon with indifference on this side the water. With something worse than indifference when the feeble pretexts of the allies are brought to mind. What trash and stuff it is to talk of Russian barbarism, and depict the Czars and their subjects as little better than middle- age Goths—when the men whe speak thus are in arms to sustain the fallen throne of Abdul Medjid! Between Alexander and Abdul, there can be no comparison in point of civilization, enlightenment, love of progress, The Russian court has been ever since Alexander I. at least one of the most polished of Europe: it was thought a great thing when Abdul took to wear a round hat and trousers, and those who wish to know the sort cf men who surround him will find enough in such works as Slade’s to prove that they are not only sunk in barbarism, but are irreclaimable. In point of religion, Russia is, it is true, in the same condition as Europe was during the crusades; but the Greek Church is full of qitmmmgs of progress and improvement—a fact sufficiently proved by the progress of the Bible Society at St. Petersburg under Alexander 1; whereas Islamism is essentially and radically incapable of further developement or adaptation to modern society. The same contrast appears in respect of physical progress. Russia has railroads, tele- graphs, printing presses, schools; Turkey has never knewn the two former until the war broke out, and the latter have been of no ser- vice to her, good Mussulmen being incapable of advancing beyond the Koran and its doctrines. In short, as between these two, there can be no question but that Turkey is by far the better representative of barbarism, and Russia of civilization; and that the progress of the human race would be far more surely advanced by the absorption of Turkey by Russia, than by its erection into a bulwark agalost the Mascovite, It is not likely that the Western governments believe what they say about civilization They know well enough that they are in fact fizht- ing the battle of barbarism, so far as Turkey is concerned, and intend undoubtedly to take the only means of preventing their triumph (shoald they succeed) being the triumph of barbarism, by dealing with Turkey as they accuse Russia of now wanting te deal. The most likely of the apparent causes for the war is the dread of Ras- sian power. But in this, as in the ostensible cause, it does not fully appear that the course of the allies is warranted by truth or history. Allowing that Russia should absorb Turkey, and plant ber eagles over Constautinople, it | seems more likely that the addition of this new territory to her empire, with its foreign races, toreign faith and foreign manners, would prove the ruin of the conqueror, than a menace to the rest of the world, The cohesive element which sustains the Russian autocracy is already stretched to the utmost: further tension would be likely to rend it apart. Transmigration— which the beauty of the climate, aad the deli- ciousness of the Dardanelles would soon teach the Russian nobility—would be fatal to the nation. The Muscovites of Constantinople would not be the Muscovites of Moscow or St. Petersburg: would rather need the protection than disturb the repose of toreign Powers, If | it be Russia’s destiny to expand, as it appa- rently is, that expansion must be on the side of Asia—through Asia Minor, Bokhara, and away to the Himmaleyahs: where her civilization would be superior to that of the natives, her race sturdier, her habits and oustoms more progressive. Expansion on the European side would be only afresh illustration of the old fable of the earthen pot moving out of its place to make war on the pot of iron. For the present, Sebastopol and the war in the Crimea may be regarded as very small matters, hardly worth close attention. The true point of importance is the course of Aus- tria. On that depends in a great measure the success of the Western programme. If Austria proves unfaithful to her traditions and carries out honestly her promise of offensive opera- tions against Russia, for the accomplishment of which the time has now arrived, no change may be needed, and Alexander may be com- pelled to postpone the realization of his hopes; if on the otherhand Austria plays false to the allies at the last moment, and makes good the confident assurance of Nicholas, a fresh edition of the programme will be needed. That can be none other than the cry of separate nation- alities, DuptEy Mann Resienep.—As we predicted, soms time ago, Mr. Dudley Mann has been compelled to leave the State Department. It was not large enough for two premiers; and Marcy, having made all that could be made of his assistant’s programme upon diplomatic coats and breeches, European politics and the Cuba question, bas turned him adrift. This is an old trick of Marcy. He isa selfish and re- morseless spoilsman. About the year 1832, when the editor of this journal was one of the editors of the Courier and Enquirer, Marcy used him to secure the democratic nomi- nation for Governor of this State. Hav- ing secured it, he turned his back upon us, and coolly boasted of the juggle. So with Gen. Scott. When this accomplished offi- cer had planned the movements and dispositions of our armies in Mexico, their shipment and transportation of munitions and supplies, &e., (ior all which Marcy obtained the credit as the mere signer of these orders of the War Depart- ment,) and when Scott had thus, upon his own plans and arrangements, carried our flag into the enemy’s capital, Marcy seized upon the first pretext for despoiling him of his hard earned laurels, and for making him the uo- guarded victim of that single weakaess of let- ter writing, which, before that time, and subse- quently, lost the noble old soldier the Presi- dency. So with Mesers. Buchanan, Mason and Soulé. They were used, entrapped and sacri- ficed by Marcy upon the same treacherous, r2- morseless and selfish principies. Let Mr. Dudley Mann congratulate himself upon his escape, go to some bookseller, and turn toa cash account, as far as compa‘ible with the public interest, the curiosities of his otherwise unprofitable connection with Marcy and all concerned. Soulé is getting up a book on the diplomacy of this administration. Let Dudley Mann do the seme; and thus we shall have a connected history upon the subject, feom Marcy’s proclamations on coats and pantaloons down to the departure of Com . McCauley for Cuba and Gen. Augustus Cwsar Hannibal Dodge for Madrid. Mr. Mann’s the man. Dissowvtion oF THE Cusan Liperatinc Leaaur.—We understand, from the best au- thority, that the Cuban filibustering conspiracy has exploded. The causes resulting in this un- timely dissolution are pretty much the same as those which have so frequently disturbed and broken up our operatic companies—quarrels amopg the managers and artists, native and foreign, over the programme of the spoils. The Americans have detached themseives from the Cuban Junta, and we shall accordingly have no more Cuban filibustering for a season. The track being thus cleared, great things may be expected at Madrid from our new minister, Augustus Cxsar Hannibal Napoleon Dodge, and from the wise instructions which he has carried out from Marcy. But let not Tammany Hall be too sanguine. Marcy is a slow coach, Cuba isa long way off, and “ Rome was not built io a day.” More Licnt Wantep on THE Row I THE Acapemy.—Can avy one give us acue to the origin of the Louleversement which has taken place in the plans of the directors of the Aca- demy, inconnection with the Lagrange troupe? What have Rowland, Jacobsohn, Uliman, and Strakosch to say for themeelves? What are they going todo? Every one wants to know what all the trouble is about. Do the parties interested know themselves? It would seem not, from the general hesitation that seems to be manifested to lay an explanation of the facts betore the public. In the meanwhile, we see by the programme of to-night that the performances go on, a8 usual, with the old com- pany. Is the pew ¢rowpe about to retire from the field? What steps do its half dozen mana- gers propose to take? Jvupoe Lorine Vinpicaten.—Governor Gard- ner of Massachueetts, refuses to second the action of the Legislature recommending the removal of Judge Loring. He has sent in an elaborate argument against it, which we give in another colump. We shall see what they willnext do. “A little kaven may leaven the whole lump,” and this manly stand of Gov. Gordner may result in saving at least a rem. rant of the Maseachusetts Know Nothings from the morass of abolitioniem. The plot is thick. | ching. i Wriu1am Lioyp Garrison.—This terrific pio- neer of the anti-slavery movements of the North, this Mabomet, this Peter the Hermit, this Martin Luther, this Jo Smith of modern abolitioniem, made his periodical appearance in this city, (as will have been seen from our re- port of yesterday,) at the anniversary of the American Anti-Slavery Society the other even- ing, and delivered himself of one of his custom- ary harangues. His speech, in this instance, | wes directed to the discussion of a string of resolutions, declaring— 1. That of all existing despotisms, American slavery is the most merciless, the mest impious, the most murderous, the most demoralizing, the most hideous, and the most calamituus. 2. That thishorrid despotism should be in- staptly and unconditionally aboltshed. 3, That the Coristian church is responsible for its continuance. 4, That such a church is “a cage of unclean birds and the synagogue of Satan,” and that its teachers are ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing,” and ravenous spoil-men. In the elaboration of this terrible text the ferocious old fanatic very naturally re-declared himself, for the hundredth time, an outlaw, egainst the Union, the constitution, the Bible, Christianity, and the churches, and in favor of nothing but niggers. In this Garrison goes something further than Wilson or Sumner; but their doctrines, and the still more stealthy and insidious approaches of Seward aud his trained gang of organs and satellites, big and “little villains,” all tend in the same direc. tion—to the overthrow of the Union, the con- stitution, religion and society, and the substi- tution of universal niggerdom, amalgamation, anareby, fire and slaughter. The only differ- ence between Garrison and his followers is, that he continues far in the advance, and frank- Jy confesses his ultimate designs, while the more cautious and cunning abolitionists and free soilers in his wake mask and disguise their designs under the false pratences of a love for the constitution, the Union, religion and so- ciety. Such is the difference upon the slavery question between Garrison, the frank and open-mouthed fanatic, and Seward, the seditious and slippery demagogue; and that’s all. Tue Massacnuserrs LeGistatuRE—CLERI- caL Poririctays.—The report of the Hiss Committee published yesterday, and the debate in the Legislature given this morning, heve brought to a close an affair which has done more to bring dis- credit and shame on the Legislature of Mas- sachusetts than any occurrence of the past quarter of a century. Combined with the in- tolerant persecution of Commissioner Loring, it stamps that body with an ignominy which it will take years to efface. One naturally in- quires what can have befallen the people of New England, the sound, honest, upright men of Boston; what can be the cause of so wonder- ful an insanity on the part of their Legislature? The question is a difficult one to answer. It may be noticed however that there are in the Massachusetts Legislature no less than tif:y clergymen; a very unusual circumstance in any State, and not common even in theocrati- cal Massachusetts. Is it not possible that the native bigotry and narrow mindedness of these clerical politicians may have something to do with the mischievous acts of the Legislature? We have four clergymen here who are at the present time very active in endeavoring to carry out a political measure—the Prohibitory Liquor law. They are Mesers. Beecher, Tyng, Cuyler and Chapin. Whether under their guidance we shall come to need Hiss commit- tees among us, remains to be seen. Tue Kinney Exreprrion—A Master Stroke or Pouicy.—Discharged upon straw bail, the Kioney expedition will soon set sail for the “promised land” of Nicaragua. Before his de- parture Col. Kinney, we understand, has made the eogagement and arrangements tor a master strcke of policy in view of a successful enter- prise. He has taken prisoner a young, beauti- ful and accomplished belle of the Fifth avenue, a flesh and blood angel, said to be literally worth her weight in gold, to say nothing of diamonds, stocks and real estate, and she has agreed, “for better or for worse,” to try the name and fortunes of Col. Kinney, expedition and all. After the nuptial ceremonials shall have been duly performed according to the usages of the Most Holy Catholic Church, including the new dogma of “the Immaculate Conception,” the bride will accompany the gallant Texas pioneer to the tropical regions, which he now proposes to “open up” to Yankee colonization and en- terprise. This is a new and charming feature in modern filibustering, and we feel certain that the presence of the youthful and beautiful bride on board the flag ship of this Kinney expedition, will have more effect in smoothing the seas, in conciliating hostile ships of war, and in pacificating the barbaric Indians and hybrids of Nicaragua, than all the second-hand muskets and artillery of George Law’s maga- zines. Success to this new Holy Alliance. In the colonization of a new country there is nothing like taking hold in @ practical way. Finst Frurrs ov tae Liquor Law.—The Re- corder’s decision in the case of Patrick Boylan for selling liquor without a license, settles the point for this city until the 4th of July. From this to then, all men may sell what liquor they please, without license or guaranty whatsoever. Atter the 4th, another portion of the liquorlaw will go into effect. No man will be allowed to sell domestic liqaors or wines in packages con- taining less than fifteen gallons, As to import- ed liquors and wines, the trade will continue on its present footing, except that there will be no licenses required.

Boston, May 10, 1855. In the House thie morning a message was received from Governor Gardnsr, respectfully declining to remove Judge Loring in accordance with the address of the two branches of the Legislature. The message is rather lengthy. The House refused to refer the message to the Committee on Federal Relations, but laid it on the table and ordered 5,000 copies to be printed. ‘A majority of the Governor’s Council were adverse to his decision retaining Judge Loring in office.
