By this errival we'have the important inteMigenco ‘gmuoenced to beth houses of the British Parlicment, ‘by Minis ers, that the Vienra Conference re-assem- biled.on tho afternoon of the 4t” instant, and was al ‘most immediately flaally dissolved, leaving the war @estinies of'the contending Powers to’be arbitra ved by the#word alone, At this meeting the Austrian Minister offered a new proposition—the nature of which ienot expiained—to the Rassian represeatative. ‘This document he wished to transmit’to St. Peter ‘Warg,"but the Ambassadors of France and Eogiand not being ocmmissioned to accede to such a coarse, the meeting was adjourned smecdie. The allied wurcesses in the Seaof Azoffare'confirmed, and” ad- ditional advantoges gained by them reported. The ‘Boussians bed abandoned Sonjak Kaleb, after burn- ‘tag the princtpal buildings and deaving behind them aixty gune-ard sx mortars;which they had render- ed upeeviceable. The allied squadron had appear- dat Genitchi, and havirg landed a body of sea- - men and mafines, drove the Russians from thet place, destroying all their food de pots ana vessels of war. Thus the Russians Jost in four days an immense quantity of provisions feur war steamers, and 240 vessels employed exclu- sively in provisioning the troops in the Crimea, with six millions of rations destined for the garrison in Sebastopol. There is nothing new from the Crimea, Bat all the allied generals had held a council of war, at which it is said an immense and most important movement was decided on. The French miners were making decided advances on the works. Spain was more quiet, but the insurrection had ‘been of a serious nature. The Dake de Montpen- ser had taken a political position which caused ua- easiness. ‘The prospect of another French loan had caused some fluctuation in financial affairs, and oonsols elesed on the 5th inst. ata decline. Cotton had ad- wanced jd. on previous quotations, with sales of seventy thousand bales in the-Liverpool market for ‘tthe four days succeeding the departure of the At. antic, Breadatuffs had also improved. The steamship Asia, with news to the 9th inst., is new folly due at Halifax. She will without dout arrive to day. ‘The translations which we give from the edito sials of the Mexican papers to-day are suggestive im the highest degree. The Trait d’ Union, in one of those articles, discusses the subject of Know ‘Motbingism, and exhibits it under the light of an ignorant and suicidal movement, antagonistical to ‘te institutions, the character, and the past of the United States. The Universal devotes a series of maticles to the discussion of the Cuba question; alle upon the Spanish Ame-ican pesp!e to inter- ‘wene first in all diplomatic attempts either to change ‘the present condition of the island bya transfer of Me sovereignty, or to establish emancipation, which ‘would be equally dangerous; and af-erwards, if force Me retorted to on the part of the United States, to sally under the standard of the race, which would be sure to bo unfurled by Mexico, Both these arti- les are deserving of attention. Our correspordent at Rio Janeiro, writing on April 28, furnishes an abstract of all the laws in ferce in the Brazilian empire, by which the rights of citizens are guaranteed, and their duties towards ‘the executive and society defined. He also gives hile version ot the affsir of the Amerisan schooner Bey City, said to have been unnecessarily fired on by ® British cruiser, as before reported, with an seccunt of the treatment of the mate and ths action ef eur Consul at Rio in the matter. The Know Noibing office holders at Washington ‘ave doomed to the guillotine. The Cabinet, after considerable cogitation, have decided to remove seme two hundred of those pestilent fellows, and ‘Wilson, Commissioner of the General Land vffice, and Clayton, Second Auiitor, are among the most prominent of the victims. fhe small fry are to walk the plank as s:0n as circumstances permit. Ke appears, frcm our despatch, that Major B. B. French, Jate Commiesioner of Pabiic Buildings, ‘who resigned his office and published « penitential secsntation of his Know Nothing errors jast prior te the municipal election in Washington, is to be provided for by another appointment. This looks Hike a hint to each Know Nothing sinner to walk ‘up to the confesrional and enter into negotiations for a dispensation. ‘The official correspondence in Governor Reedér’s case, to which allasion wes made by our Washing- ton correspondent some dase since, a: having been ealled for by the President, is published in this morning’s paper. It corroborates fully the state- ment that the administration had determined that Govermor Reeder should not retarn to Kansas; and § aivo shown that Judges Johnson and Elmore, aud Disirict Attorney Isaacs aro to be removed, unless they can exp'sin away their association with Resder 4» **» epeowlations in Indian Jands. ‘nalastio meeting of the Know Nothings wth ward took place in or*> conn}! hor eet market yesterday, and the sates $0 4.000 ales--prices closing stant ratber etiffer, at previous rates, WIM @ fair among? cf sales.

Someting © he chaos and fermenting eon- which our political parties were throwm >. year ago by this most wretched Pierce admin? stration still prevail throaghont the coun ry, while here and there the general revo- Jut} onary reaction is aseuming sometaing of £) spe ond consistemey. In this State it is Tyretty evident that we are to have three dis tinct, well defined, and antegonistic parties in the field for the smocession, to wit:— 1. The Know Nothings, or new American party. 2. The Seward anti-elavery disunion party. 3. The spoiie democracy. Into these three ‘parties the bulk of all the outside factions of the day will probably be merged—the liquor law faction, the anti-liquor law facthon, the democratic hard shells and oft shelis, the Seward and toe silver gray whigs, the ultra liberty faction of Gerrit Smith and Fred Douglass, the land reformers, the anti-renters, the women’s rights women, and the Fourierite philosophers and free colored Americans, inclusive. In this view, let us see, from preeent indications, the relative strength of these three new parties in the Empire State, from and after our next November eleetion. At our State election of last November, the vote for Governor resulted as follows :— For Clark, Seward liquor law whig. For Seymour, soft anell anti-liquoi For Bronson, hi For B. B, Wood, independent free soiler. Total popular vote of the State........ This exceeds by fifty thousand the aggregate vote for President in 1852, and upon the same ratio of increase we shall probably have by November next a total popular vote of six hundred thousand. The vote for Governor, as distributed last year, affords scarcely an ap- proximation to the relative strength of the parties involved, omitting the liquor question. Upon that issue there was an inexplicable amount of crose-firing. The result, however, establishes the important fact that with all the force of the Nebraska agitation, in its first gloss, with all the unpopularity of Pierce, Marcy, Cushing and Forney, with all the de- fections of the democracy, all the novelty of the liquor law, and all the inexperience of the Know Nothings, whose organization as a State party had then scarcely commenced, the Sew- rd anti-Nebraska-temperance and anti-slavery coalition were unable to muster one-third of the aggregate vote of the State. How stands the matter now? The democra- cy are still disorganized—the Seward coali- tion have nothing to stand upon but the slavery agitation ana the liquor Isw. The approach- ing election involves neither Governor nor Congressmen. It is limited to several State officers, the Legislature and town and city officials. Nor will the Assembly be rendered a political test upon the election of a Senator. ‘That question has been settled. But upon the maintenance, or modification, or repeal of this odious and despotic liquor law, the election of the new Legislature will inevitably turn, and the re- sult will most probably give to the victorious party the inside track for the great campaign of 1856. This liquor issue cannot be smothered up in the repeal of the Nebraska bill. Too many substantial business intesemts, too many positive individual political rights are io- volved in this law to admit of the idea that the question of its repeal can be suffocated in the impracticable abstraction of the restoration of the Missouri line. The liquor interest, in all its ramifications, will exert a tremendous influence in our No- vember State canvass. Where will it go? Not with the Seward disunion coalition establish- ing this despotic law—not, most assuredly, with the disorganized and unreliable democracy ; but with that party most likely to possess the strength and the will to defeat the law— this new American party. Since November last, it has increased ite @jggagth to full two hundred thousand men, affd the work is still progressing. Can Seward muster the fifty thousand reinforcements, according to his vote of last fall, necessary to bring up his force to two hundred thousand? Extremely doubt- ful. Can the spoils democracy hit upon any plan of democratic fusion sufficient to control in this State two hundred thousand votes, during the remnant of the allotted exist- ence of this Pierce administration? Exceeding- ly doubtfal. Can any plan of fusion be invent- ed between the spoils democracy and the Se- ward coalition, upon any pretence or for any purpose whatever? No. We must then con- clude that the contest next fall will be between the Seward party and the American party ; and from the instincts, interests, antecedents and fixed principles of the democracy in favor of free trade and free liquor, we must aleo con- clude that the pressure of the liquor question will bring over a prodigious democratic balance of power to the Know Nothings. Here, however, the question arises, what ground do the Know Nothings oecupy on this liquor law? It was doubtful last fell; it seems now to be a sort of neutral ground. But when a definite stand upon this issue is all that is wanted to defeat the Seward holy alliance, not only in this State, bat in other States, we are quite sure that the Know Nothings will ap- propriate the means and the opportunity to do the work. tas ore the American party is "et them carry New York, ylvania next fall, and the rn elections, and they may Ts" oy Orens—Oxose or Tae Finet Szs- Jon oP Tae Acapemy—Irs Resvt1s.—The first regular season of the Academy of Music her, terminated as no other Opera seas0D he: ever before terminated in this city—wi%h the pres- tige of complete success, and ® feeling of gene- Tal satisfaction on the part of the public, the mangg: ment and the artirts. No party hasto comp!ain of promises anyerformed,engagements unfulfilled, or heavy losses incurred on one side or the other. Vor once in operatic affaire there are nocloude to darken the feelings of gratification wit& which we can afford to took back on the eventsof the past season, er the brilliant preepects which open fer the next. Both are conclusive as to the permanent and prosperous establiechment of the Italian lyrical drama as one of our local inetivutions, Various causes have contributed to bring about this happy result. One is undoubtedly he position and respectability of the twe prin- cipal directors—Mesers. Phalen and Coit—and the busines talent they have brought to bear on the affairs of the establiehment. Another is in their choice of an associate having consi- derable experience in theatrical matters, eon- Joinedwith well known address and tact—the Chevalier Wikoff. But the third, and not the least important, is the fact of the two first nam- ed gentlemen being private individuals, with- out any previous connection either with artists or journalists, From the independence of their position as regards both, they have been able at once to secure tho sup- port of the most sensible and influential portion of the press, and to exercise an effective control over the artists with whom they have had to deal, by treating them fairly and kindly, and thus soothing the feelings and conciliating the good will of # proverbially irritable clase. We have watched with extreme interest the successive efforts that have been made within the last twenty years to establish Italian Opera in this city, and we probably know as much of the history and causes of failure of these attempts as any one. The first great ex- periment of this sort was made by Palmo, him- self an Italian, and a great amateur of the Opera. He had been successful in accumulating a fortune of from $100,000 to $150,000 ina caféin Broadway, and his love of music induc- ed him to hazard the hard earned fruits of his industry in a speculation which, however con- genial it might have been to his tastes, was en- tirely out of his line. He opened in Chambers street the first regular Italian Opera house established here; but after a few sea- sons of heavy losses, which swallowed up the entire of his fortune, it broke down, One of the principal causes of Palmo’s failure was his incompetency to reconcile and control the jealousies and difficulties arising from the sensitiveness and irritability of his artists; bat ® more serious one still, was the readiness with which he allowed himself to be influenced by the ignorant suggestions and evil counsels of a small clique connected with the preas, who have subsequently earned for thamaelver the denomi- nation of oyster house critics. The next attempt at Italian Opera was made in the Astor place house, ander the manage- ment of Sanquirico and Patti. These persons were artists themselves, and consequently the oyster house critics had full sway over their affairs. The result was that before two seasons the enterprise went by the board from bad management. The third effort was made by Mr. Edward P. Fry. He began his career by giving his confi- dence to @ particular section of the oyster house critics, and proscribing the sensible and independent portion of the press by refusing them the usual privileges. Under such in- fluences there occurred what will always occur when vanity and ignorance reign supreme. Quarrels between the manager and his troupe, and quarrels between the press and the manager marked the whole of this unfortunate enterprise, and of necessity soon brought it to a disastrous close. After Fry came Maretzek, who, undismayed by the fate of his predecessor, assumed all the pains and responsibilities of the Astor House management. Mr. Maretzek being an artist himself, of course had the same difficulties to contend with that all artists have to encounter when they become managers. They usually carry into the business administration of a the- atre too much professional prejudice and bigot- Ty, and too little tact and knowledge of the world, to conduct matters to a successfal re- sult. Between the dictation of the oyster houee critics, and the rivalries of artists, Maret- zek got along for come years with varying fortunes, but on the whole unfortunately, and it was evident that from his efforts there was little to be hoped for as regards the permanent establishment of the Italian Opera amongst us. On the completion the Academy of Music, Ole Bull, conjointly with Ullmann and Stra- kosch—two of them artists, and without any of the experience requieite in the management of great business enterprises—assumed the direc- tion of that house. As usuel, the rivalries of the singers, to say nothing of the quarrels of the principals themselves, and the old blighting influence of the oyster house critics, soon brought ruin upon the speculation; and a com- mittee of the stockholders—private gentlemen, having but very little previous experience in euch matters, but still competent from their general business acquirements—were compelled to assume the management of the concern, Here was an entirely new régime, differing in their habita, notions and positions from th> persons who are generally placed at the head of theatrical affairs, independent of all low and paltry influences, whether arising from the miserable jealousies of artiste or the ridiculous intrigues ot the oyster house critics, and ani- mated by but one lsadable motive—a desire to elevate the public teste in musical matters, and advance the intereats of art.

Tux Sreecn or Mason Dovetsoyx.—The great feature of the meeting of the Know Nothings in the Park, the other day, was the speech of Major Andrew Jackson Donelson, of Tennessee, sgainst our imbecile and faithless Pierce ad- ministration. It isa bombshell from the Her- mitage thrown into the ranks of the spoils de- moeracy. They must now either definitely abandon Mr. Pierse or sink with him, This *peech tells the whole story. It defines the tne national policy of the Know Nothings, ten Pieree dynasty and all concerned. Mejor Doveleon puty the question in its legiti- mate shape to the country, whether we shall have a new government, administered by men of Union priv.ciples, or the coatinuance of a corrupt an@ trading coalition of Northern and Southern nullifiers, Van Buren free soilers of the Buffilo stamp, and Jeff, Davis seceasianista and filibusters, Let the Know Notaings circu- late this speech of the adopted son and inti- mate political confidant of Old Hickory. We ‘want to know what the democracy propose to do with Mr. Pierce, and wnere they will tara up: Ovr Rexarions wits ras Domintoan RePvp- LIC—ANOTHER SPECIMEN OF OUR PIERCE AND Marcy Dirtomacy—We published yesterday a letter from Washington, from a reliable and well informed source, explanatory of the American diplomacy of Pierce and Marcy with the interesting republie of Dominica, the white end of the island of Hayti. The facts are very simple, and much of a piece with the doings of this treacherous and skulking administration in reference to Spain, Cuba, the Sandwich Islands and Central America. Our Minister at Dominica made a favorable treaty with that government—the French and English with their ships of war, thereupon came up, and bul- lied and threatened the poor Dominicans at such a rate that they were compelled to eat their own words, and cancel the treaty with our ambassador. And there the matter stands. Ordinary men would say that here was an outrage committed by the French and Haglish calling for inetant redress—for reparation, even at the canpon’s mouth, and at the risk of a general war. But where was that bold Ameri- can spirit of Pierce, Marcy and Forney, under which they earried the terror of our bombshells and torches into Greytown? Oozed out, like the courage of Bob Acres, at their fingers’ ends. It was the difference between an armed fleet of the Britfh and French, and a defence- lees village of merchants and their inoffensive people. French and Englich terrorism has driven our Minister from Dominica, and has substantially appropriated that hitherto inde- pendent power. Such is the Pierce interpreta- tion of the Monroe doctrine in the face of dan- ger. Such is the rendering of the inaugural, when England or Franee stands in the way. Pierce and Marcy bak out, and so very stealthily that nothing would be known of it but for the correspondents of the public press. Will the Washington Union be good enough, since the secret is out, to inform us whether the administration has or has not finally con- sented to submit to the armed occupation of Dominica by England and France? Are we to swallow this eutrage as an offeet to the Grey- town bombardment, or is our Forney Cabinet waiting for those new frigates to be built? Tae ADMINISTRATION AND THE Late Cuan Movement.—The more light that is thrown upon the late movement in Cuba, the more un- accountable appears the conduct of the Pierce administration, and the: stronger the grounds for indignation among the Creoles. It appears that the discovery was made in thisway: A government agent, in the confidence of the State Department, placed himself in close com- munication with the Janta and their friends here. This was the easier to do as at first pub- licly and privately Mr. Pierce had professed deep sympathy for the cause of Cuban inde- pendence, and had assured the leaders of as much, with many oaths and many promises, at several private interviews. Having wormed himself into the confidence of the Cuban sym pathizers here, the government agent had the address to persuade them that it was absolately neceseary that some one should go from hence to Cuba to ascertain by ocular inspection what might be expected from an insurrectionary movement. The principle adopted, the spy offered to go himself provided the Junta here would accredit him to the principal Creoles of their party on the island; and assuredly no political party ever allowed itself to be more completely hoodwinked—his offer was accept- ed, and he left. On the island he met Manuel Pinto, Estrampes, and the other revolutionary chiefs; as they supposed, concerted measures with them ; as was the case in reality, sounded them as to their prospects, means and objects, and departed brimful of information. Instantly on his return, he repaired to the State Department to draw his pay and commu- nicate what he knew. Mr. Pierce and Mr. Marcy were placed in possession of the whole facts of the Cuban conspiracy. They had no sooner learned all than in their turn they trans- ferred their information to the Spanish Minis- ter, who sent it to the Captain General. Hence it appears that the shocking deaths of Manuel Pinto, Estrampes and the other victims of the late coup d’état in Cuba are wholly the work of the present administration. It is difficult to conceive either a baser pros- titution of the autherity with which the Ame- rican people have entrusted Mr. Pierce, ora grosser insult to their feelings. It may be lawfal for the despotic authorities of Caba to secure the submission of the unfortunates set under them by steeping their hands in blood, whenever their enormities are objected to; but in God’s name, the time has not come when the government of the United States can play the executioner or the spy. Wat.ack’s Taxatas—German Orera.—The German Opera troupe commenced their new series of perform ences at this theatre last night with the ‘‘ Daugh. ter of the Regiment.” Considering the unfavorable character of the weather, there was « very fair at- tepdance. Madame D’Ormy sustained with great spirit the réle of Marie, and was loudly applauded ia her firs; aria and inthe fimnalcof the first act. The terzetto in the second act, with M. Muller and Madame Boettner, was also capitally given, The Salpizof M. Muller was a very ereditable performance, and were M. Quint’s vo- calization only equal to his confidence, there would be little to ind fault with. The opera, on the whole, how- ever, was es well sustained a6 we had reseon to expect’ considering the disadvantages under which a temporary speculation af this sort labors in its choice of artists. ‘There is no denbdt that with the increased support which German Oper appears to be getting, efforts will be made to impart greater efficiency te ite persound.
