Her news was anticipated by the pre vious arrival cf the Africa at Halifax ; but our files contain some extracts with regard to she late and proposed new conferences at Vienna which will be found interesting. In the course of some remarks which Lord Lyndhurst addre:sed to the Eaglish House of Lerds on the 22d ultimo on the sub Jeet, his lordship stated that fresh negotiations would be opened, acd the continental corres pondence of the London journals confirms bis opinion. Lords Palmerston and John Rassell addressed the Commons on the 21st of May, in en- deavoring to. stave off the want of confidence re- marks embodied in the motion of Mr. Wilner Gibson. ‘This they effected ; bat Lord John, when charged with the fact, acknowledged that he had treated for ® peace on & most upsnubstantial basis, and which would have left Rassia quite free to act against Tarkey again at any time. In fact, his lordship maid he was anxious for peace at any cost. We pub- Meh Count Nesselrode’s version of the procesdiags of the late Pea:e Convention, in which he asserts that Russia made every honoradie concession for peace which could be expected. This paper is very ably written, and sppears very plausible is its re- hhearsal of the events. The steamer Northern Light arrived yes'erday moraing, and landed passengers and specie at this port in twenty and a half daya from Sain Francisco. This is not the shortest, bu! one of the quickest teips ever made, the same vesecl having arrived on the 14th of November last, the trip being made io twenty days and twelve hours. By the Northern Light we have the details of tie news which was firat received on Monday by tolegraph from New Orleans. The intelligence is unimportant, but we Jearn that monetary and g2neral affsirs were sten ti: ly improving, and the excitement which had arisen on the announcement of the second failure of Page, Bacon & Co. had gradually died away. The mines were epoken of as being very prosperous, and the five weather following the Jate copious rains had en- sbled the miners to pursue their labors with re- mewed advantages. The anti-gambling Jaw had gone into operation, and its provisiona were very generally complied with, which seemed to cause conriderable satisfaction among the people. The E! Dorado Hyuse, the principal and most fashion- able gambling establishment in San Francisco, had closed its doors and put up a bill “to let.” This is the last of the weekly line ot stesmers, the mail boat Sonora, for Panama, having left San Francisco on the same day with the Uncle Sam, for Nicara- gua, and consequently over tw2 weeks will elapse before we again get news from California. Onur files from the Sandwich Islands are to the 2'at of April. Five English war vessels, carrying about one boxdred aud twenty guns, hsd sailed trom Hoxo)ulu with the intention of joining a French force in a second attack on Petropeulowski. It was thought they would reach there by the 20th of May. Ie appears from the report of Chief Justica Lee that ermme had increased in Honolulu and Oahn, at least ‘tnere had been more convictions. Applications for divoree haa diministed. A sum of $1,841 50 had ‘been stolen from the government vauits. Ovrcorrespondent at Rivas (Nicaragus), writing om the 24th of May, states that the revolationary stroggle in that portion of Central America was likely to continue with sn obstinate and bloody fary, as, owing to the great principle of republican- iem for which the people contended, they could nxt give way. General Munos, one of the most able and accomplished soldiers, bad taken command of the democratic army and completely re-organized it, with the aid of five hundred veterans detached from the force of General Cabanas, of Honduras. The existing gov- erament was in great dismay, and their army march- ing on Leon had halted at Mansgua sooner than meet Muncs. The people wculd not have anysystem of rule approximating to that in force in Guatemala or Costa Rica, which it wes feared was tending to- wards a monarchy in both places. A summary of the progress of politics at each place is given, and is quite interesting. Late accounts from the plains state that the Io- ions had aczembled at a place called Ask Hollow in formidable numbers, eager fora fight. They re- gard the emall detachments of soldiers with the utmost contempt, and toe garrisons at Forts Lara- mit and Kearney were in a state of the keenest ap Prelension and surpense, fearing that the savages may attack them before reinforcements arrive. The detert of the abolitionists ia the election held en On the 22d ult., has had the effect to allay #2 exeite ment on the slavery question in that region, and tn, people of the Territory, according to “intelligence Teteatly received, bad dropped politics avd taken to their ordinary oocupations, In ‘Rebraska, the proseriptive action of the em'- grant aid faction had sroused a spicit of zesistance, snd we bear of public meetings being held, resolu- ‘ons passed and addresees published, advocating eatabiiahment of a slave State in the southers of that Territory. In fact several families have Gone there alroedy «ith +> 20. or they JPotend to remain. National Democratic State Commitie have Wednesday, the 5th of September, as the Syracuse as the place for holding a State for the purpose of nominating @ ticket for officers. The following are to be nominated :— A Pecrétary of State, in plecs of Elias W. Leaven- 3 Comptroller, in place of James M. Cook; orer, in place of Wibridge G.

Tne offer was acrepted. ‘There was no basiness of importance done at the Board cf Supervisors last evening. The report of the committee in favor of increasing the sala:ies of the Juéges of the State courts, was reoeived and made a pe. ial order for Monday next, to which day the Board adjourned. The Board of Aldermen last evening adopted a resclution callieg upon the Polise Commissiouers to dismiss policeman Nelson, who so tamely l:oked on at the aseault comnitted upon Aldermsn Briggs by Frank O'Keefe. ‘The most important item of the Board of Council men fsat night was the reading of @ message from his Honor the Mayor, advocaing the request of the Leng Ivinud farmers that more ample market as commcdations might be given them, whereby they may be ab’e to have direct communication with tne people. This message is published elsewhere. The Re-Opening of Negotiations at Vienna, The Africa ‘brings the not unexpected news that Count Buol has suggeste1 the re-opening of negotiations, in the hope of the re-establish- ment ef peace. It is said at Berlin—and the chances ere that the statement is correct—that the curtailment of Russian power in the Black Seais proposed to be effected by a convention between Turkey and Russia, stating the num- ber of ships which each Power is to be at liber- ty to maintain in those waters, England and France having two each,as a sort of guarda costa. It¢is not easy to understand how the Czar can accept these terms, He is strong, his neighbor weak; he is growing, the Porte on the decline; he is sure to increase his navy every year, Turkey to diminish hers; and yet it is ex- pected that he will agree to limit his naval force by hers, to agree that his youth and strength shall not excel-or outatrip her age and weakness. It would bes very singular stipala- tion, Such a bargain would be like one be- tween the United States fox igstance, and in- dependent Canada, binding the United States not to build more ships than the Canadians. The fate of an American statesman who would propose such a thing would not be doubtfal; are we to expect less firmness, less patriotism, less epirit of progress among the Russian no- bles? That Germany wants peace, and means to strain every nerve to obtain it, is beyond question. Austria learned in the old Napoleon’s time that for her, war was certain to be a losing game. Alter the fall of Napoleon, the statesmen of Austria made the pre- servation of peace a cardinal point in Aus- trian policy. All the efforts of the Europeans from Tronpan and Layback to the downfall of Charles the Tenth, were directed to this one object, the preservation of peace. Peace, they knew, was the only stable guarantee against revolution. So long as peace Jasted, their standing armies were an unanswerable refata- tion of popular theories; but once let war break out, and those bayonets be fruitlessly employed in international straggles, the throne and the oligarchies were left exposed, anda popular outbreak inevitable. Time has not impaired the coundness of this priaciple of po licy. It is more than ever th» policy of Aus- tria and Prussia to remain at peace, if they ean. And it moy be taken for granted that proposition after proposition will be made by the Austrian plenipotentiaries; that as fast as one conference breaks up, another wili be pro- posed; that scheme will follow scheme, compro- mise rire out of ihe ashes of compromise, and negotiation never withdraw wholly from the field, till the Austrian dominions themselves sre attacked, and self-preservation bids the Emperor take the sword. : It is fast coming to that, unless these propo- sals and counter proposals contain the germ of anarrengement. The contest is about to be renewed ons gigantic scale. It is probable that in that small patch of earth which lies between the Balkans, the Carpathian ridge, the Dnieper and the Black Sea, over a million and aquarterf men are at this moment in arms. Firet a powerfal Austrian army holds, by martial law, the Danubian Princi- palities. Opposed to them on the line of the Dniester and the Galician frontier six hundred thousand men, the flower of the Russian army, await the order to advance. Into the Crimea, troops are pouring from Odessa and the North, to prepare for the struggle that is to take place there this summer. The aliied armies are over estimated in the telegraphic message at 200,000 men: 175,000 effective men will probebly prove a fairer estimate. But what an enormous army even this constitutes! Scott never led more than 11,000 men into the field in Mexico. Wellington operated in Spain with from 20,000 to 30,000 men. The force en gaged at the battle of Waterloo was ahout 80,- 000 on each side. At Inkermann not more than 8,000 or 9,000 English and 3,000 or 4,000 Vrench were engaged; the Russians eay they hed not more than 15,000, though it seems more than likely that their force was donble that number. What a contrast between these and the force Pelissier will lead into the high- Jands of the Crimea! Nor is it at ali likely that We ACUSSIBNR Will ha —o months of Jair weather—for the reinforcement of Lipran- di’s army: it ought to be as strong as that of ihe allies. In former times battles have taken place in the Crimea between armies neatly as large as these. The Tartars, at the establish- ment of the Gheria dynasty, are said to have been able to bring 200,000 men into the field, all residents of the Crimean valleys; these were the times when the Czar of Rassia pur- chased the good will of the sovereign of the Crimea by an annual tribute, and a Crimean army ré-instated an Emperor at Stambonl; it is fair to infer from the strength of the Crimean army at this date that battle grounds exist in the peninenla on which an army exceeding 100,000 can mancuvre in battle. So that we may fairly lovk ere long for something in the way of fighting compared to which what has paseed hitherto will appear mere skirmishing. McEtrarn— Crrvex Rovrsrmerk | Rohespierre McElrath, in his paper the Tribune, | seems to say that the blood of o human being isa matter of very little consequence in com parison with the establishment of Nea) Dow's mammoth grogshop at Portland. It is said of the Nrenth Robespierre that he waa temper ate man, snd dronk nothing but wator: but we know that be had a prodigious thirst for bleod a The conduct of our American Robesplerre seems toind!eate similar tastes: he too prefers bl.od to ram, Is it not time for the stockhelders of the Nasean Bank, and perticulerly such men as Mccors, Persse & Brooks, the p»per makers. to @ll'a meeting ad ascertain whether itis for their interest that the President of an iastitu- tion in which their earnings are invested should be the instigator and the sponsor of measures fraught with infinite disaster, coofasion, and destruction of trade and haman life? Tue PurapeLria Granp Nationat Covn- cu.—Our special despateh, whieh we publish this morning, from Philadelphia, diseloses what will probably be the upshot of this Council, viz.—A separation of the sheep from the goatse— & purification of the Order on the slavery ques- tion—the organization of a truly national par- ty upon @ national platform, leaving such sedi- tious abolitionists as Wilson and his New Eag- land gang to shift for themselves. This cleans ing process, we agree with our reporter, will be very apt to give us three distinct and tre- mendously hostile parties for the Presidency:— the new national American party—the re-organ- ized democratic party, and the general coasoli- dated anti-elavery party, formed of all the abolitionists, free soilers, isms, aad fag ends of the North, from Cape Cod to Kansas, Another result will probably be, from: the nomination of Mr. Wise or some other man as the democratic candidate, of Seward, Wilson, or geome such man, as the anti-slavery candi- date, and probably of George Law as the Na- tional American candidate, that all three will be thrown into the House of Representatives for an election. And what then? The anti- slavery candidate will there be instantly re- jected; and the democracy being in a minority, Live Oak George, ehould he be the other man, will be very apt to get the prize. It is useless to say that this present anti- slavery movement amounts to nothing. Since 1844 it has been gathering strength with every suceessive Presidential election. The anti- slavery diversion in this State in ’44 elected Mr. Polk—the Van Buren free soil movement of ’48 elected Gen. Taylor; and this third party would have developed its baiauce of power in 52 quite as decisively, but for the over- whelming uprising of the solid people in a great Union movement upon Mr. Pierce. The results are before us. The Union party which brought Mr. Pierce into power, has, by his treacherous, corrupt, and feeble administration, been seatter- ed to the four winds. Both the old parties have been destroyed. This new American party— this new anti-slavery crusade, and this new Mmovement—a new organization ot the democra- tic party--have grown up from the rains of the two old parties and the administration. The worst of it is, that this new and formidable antislavery league has been provided with more sharply defined issues than ever hereto- fore, and will carry them forward with a high hand. Our safety, then, lies between the Know Nothings and the democracy. If the former fail to provide ® good stanch Union platform, the conservative people of all sections will have no other alternative than to fall back npon the latter. That's all. And so we expect great and important results from this Philadelphia Convention. Thus far, they appear to be get- ting on very well. Banyum’s Basy Suow.—We publish to-day a graphic deecription of Barnum’s baby show, this last dodge of the great ‘confidence man” to diddle the public out of their odd quarters. This is the present ultimatum of o career of unparalleled impudence in ob‘aining mo- ney upon false pretences, beginning with Joyce Heth, a vagabond negress palmed off to bea bundred and twenty-seven years old, and the nurse of Washington, and running the whole imposition schedule of the buffalo hunt, the negro turning white, the Fejee mer- maid, giants and dwarfs, Santa Anna’s wooden leg, the woolly horse, the Greenland whale, the plaster-of-paris petrifastion of: the horse and boa constrictor, the Qeyetal Palace, and the life of P. T, Barnamy @g& rounding up the catalogue with this abommnation of the baby show. The pretence upon which this exhibition is defended is even more impudent tian Bar- num’s apology: for his mixture of grog shops and temperance lectures in the same building. It is pretended that this last dodge is gotten up with the same view as a show of horses, cattle, cheep or hogs; that is, with the view of pro- moting the improvement of the best breeds. ‘This, in ovr opinion, is false pretence, for as long as Barnum can palm off his impostures and disgusting monstrosities at a clear profit in shiliings and quarters, the human family, of all breeds, are, we suepect, quite good enough for him. We presume that in defence of making the ‘afternoon entertainments of the Mueeum a common resort for street waikera, the plea will next bé advazced that the moral drama is given for the purification of their morals. And £0, if a spectator of a temperance play up stairs, be incredulous concerning the bad eficets of hard drinking, it may be urged that the liquor establishments in the basement sre useful in proving the argument. A re. former of this stamp would scarcely have any violent compunctions against digging up the bones of his father avd advertising them as the ekeleton of Kidd the pirate.

Tlearm that the expiring Atlas newspaper has been bought up by a fund of $8,000 or $10,600 raised in Wash- ingten, ana is to be merged into the Argus, the joint concern being destined as the organ of Seymour for Governor, and Marcy for the Presidensy.

Last night as the mail train from Sew York, vis New Haven, was nearing the city of Wemeester, the engineer suddenly discovered an obstacle upon the track. It ap- pears that the rails had been pried up and five or six large stones had been placed underneath. By the force of the collision the whole train was thrown from the track. The engine was thrown intoa ditch. The bag- gage car was thrown completely over and broken up, Six persons who were in that car were considerapiy bruised by the flying pieces of baggage, but fortunately escaped without very terious injury.

As great many contradictory rumors have been circulated with regard to the matter, and as it is reported that one cf the parties has been killed, we have abtained the particulars from the most reliable source, and present them te our readers. It appears that on Friday night, or rather on Saturday morning last, between twelve and ong o’clock, Mr. J. B. Breckenridge, one of the members of the club, entered the supper room in company with his brother, who is nots member, and who according to the rules of the club, should not have been introduced without a ticket from one of the “officers, When Mr. Breckenridge and hus brother entered, there were sixor eight persons present, all of whom were seated at the supper table. The apppearance of a stanger caused some commo- tion among them, and one of the members protested against it as a violation of the constitation. Mr. Breck- enridge asserted his right to bring his brother into tha house, when Mr. Leavenworth denied that he had any such right, and insieted that the rales of the clad pro- hibited the introduction of strangers. This interference, bowever, instead of putting a stop to the difisulty, only tended to incresse it. The excitement became great- ea Ss, moment, high words were exchanged be- tween the parties, until the quarre{ was brought toa climax by Leavenworth accusin; not paying hfs aues regularly, and wit particular time. To this charge the latter re- oped by giving the He, when the former struck him with ‘is glove in tne face. Here the afiair terminated at that time, and the par- ties eeparated, determined, however, that it should not rest here. The following morning Breckenridge, having procured the services of & friend, sent a challenge to his antegonist, by whom it was promptly accepted. No attempt, so far as we bave been able to ascertain, was made at this point to about an amicable adjustment of the difficull both cipal and seconds i that it @ duel. It was decided that Say. where thsy would, it was believed, ‘be lees lable to interruption than in our own State, where the laws are very severe in regard to so-called af- tairs of honor.
