The steamship Asia, from Liverpool, arrived at Balifax early yesterday morning. Her advices are to the 9th inst., three days later than those received Dy the St. Louis at this port. The war news is imteresting. The bombardment of Sebastopol was yecommenced on the 6th instant, and on the 8th Lord Reglan telegraphed to London that the French had attacked and carried the Mamelon and she White Tower, after dos perate fighting and very great loss on both sides. Further details of the operations in the Sea of Azoff are given, but they develope no new festare of positive importance. Admiral Dundas has re- eonnoitered Cronstadt, ana found it more strongly fortified than last year. The conduct of the Aus trian military authorities in the Principalities is ‘eventing considerable attention, and may lead to serious results. It is sthied by Prussian correspon- @ents that Austria considers hertelf released fom all engegements to the Western Powers, the latter having refused to conclude a peace on reasonable terms. There are all corts of absurd rumors respect- img the prospective diplomatic movements ot the German Powers. From Spain we learn that the Carlis‘ insurrection ‘was quelled; but the fact that Catalonia has been de- ae state of siege, aud also that troops were ai ig Madrid, indicates the contrary. Tnere bad bean another reconstruc:ion of the ministry, and s forced loan of 200,000,000 reals hed been im- posed. The revolt in Cracow had not b:en entirely sup- pressed. The popular feeling was mainly directed against the priests. The war news bad caused a rise in consols, ‘whieh closed at 92. Coton was steady, at pra vious quotations; corn showed an advance; other breadstuffs without change; provisions firm. We publish elsewhere a brief account of the pro- eeedings of an anti-Maine law meeting in Albany, te which attension is directed. There was a fair attendance of delegates from various parts of the State. Resolutions appointing a State Centrai Committee, directed to make a thorough canvass of ‘the State, with power to cal! a convention, if cir- eumstances shou.d justify such @ course, were adopted. The proposals for the new State loan of one mi'- Won anda half of dollar’, for the canal enlarge- ment, were opencd at Albavy yesterday. The ag. gregate bids reached $10,912,000, at a premiam ranging from 112 t> 117.5.9 John Thompson, of New York, bid for the entire loan, 117.26. Rafas H. King, of Albany, bid for. $100,000, 117.28, and $100,000, 117.56. Jas. T. Souter, of New York, bid for $200,000, 117.27. Camman & Co., of New York, $60,000, 117.59. The bidders were very numsrous. ‘The loan was awarded t» the parties above named— $1,050,000 going to Mr. Thompson. The Know Nothing demonstration at Baltimore jast evening was an immensely successful affair. Resolutions fully endorsing the Philadelphia plat- form were adopted. The Copenhagen corresponden’ of the Paris Presse states that fresh demands have been pre- sented by the Western Powers—‘“ demands which ‘may change completely the tace of affairs. Amongst other matters, the suppression of the Sound dues is talked of.” He adds, that in threatening to su> port the reclamations of the United States and Promis against an impost affecting the commerce ef all nations, and which constitutes one of the most important branches of the Danish revenue, the Western Powers are jikely to influencs the resolu- tions of the cabinet of Copenhagen on tha: su>ject. After the news by the St. Louis was kcaown ia the forenoon, yesterday, about 2,000 bales of cotton were sold, at fall prices. Subssquent to the receipt of the Asia’s advices, the market was unee*tled, and RO transactions were reported. Flour exbibited a betterfeeling, without any change of moment ia Pricer. Canadian white wheat scld at $2 25, and a Jot of inferior Western red at a low figure. Corn was about one cent per bushel bigher for Western mixed, with sales of 60,000 bushels; Southern white sold at $1 20. Pork was higher, with free sales. ‘There was more activity and firmness in the sugar market, and the sales reached about 2,500 hhds. and 500 boxes. To Liverpool about 30,000 bashels corn were engaged, in bags and in bulk, at 54.0 54¢., and'400 bales cotton at 3-16d.,and a small lot of 100 bales, to fill up, at 532d.

The fate of the garrison at the fort may be easily conjectured. They have undoubtediy perished miserably; and the s2anty reinforcement some’ timo since to their relief, bat which could not have reached the fort before ita cap- tore, bas in all probability shared the same fate, as the hostile Indians numbered two thousand war, riora. The Indians bad likewise committed depre- dations upon emigrant trains, one of which was robbed of cver four hundred head of cattle, sixteen horses, wagonn, &o., and the parties owning them J oft deotitats in the wilderness. It ls evident thata combined movement of the savaye tribes fe on foot to annihilate the whites on the frontier; snd if the geners) government does not act promptly, it will fm al] probability succeed. "The new Naval Examining Board commenced at Washington yesterday, but owing to the absence of Com. Buchanen no business was transacted. The question as to the propriety of keeping its proceed ings secret had not bean decided. Very strenuous opposition is being made by the property owners in Greenwich aud Washington streete, against the construction of the Nioth Ave- nue Railroad. An epitome of the procesdinga be- fore Judge Cowles will be found in the law reports. Considerable interest in the result seems to be mani- fested by those doing business around Washington Market, and we are intormed that the case is prose- cuted by a voluntary subscription of the whole of that crowded neighborhood. The Chicago Courier of the 16¢. inst., comes ont with long article recommendiag Fernando Wood, chief magistrate of this city, for the Presilency io 1856. Judge Hall, at the opening of the United States Circuit Court at Canandsigaa, on the 19th inst, ia bis remarks to the Grand Inquest, alluded to the practice of opening letters while in the custody of the Post Office Depa:tment, and charged thet no man, wether in the employ of the Post Office Da- partment or not, was authorized, except in the case of dead letters, for any reason or under any pretence, to open a letter entrusted to tha mail, or even to detain such letter; and his honor charged the inqueat to present apy cases to the contrary whish should come t> their knowledge. Judge Hall, it will be recollected, was at the head of the Post Office Department during the administration of President Fillmore, which seems to give his cbarge ® peculiar fitness. The War News. According to the newspapers and telegraphic accounts we receive from the other side of the water, it would appear that the tide of fortune has changed and that success after success is attending the arms of the Allies. By late mails we had accounts of the capture of Kertch and Yenikale, of the entrance into the Sea of Azoff, and as a matter of course of the capture or des- truction of every floating thing thereon; the St. Louis brought advices of the capture of Genitchi, the northernmost point of the road across the Sirwash shallows and the mouth by which the Putrid Sea and the Sea of Azoff communicate—a place, as can be seen by a glance at the map, of great military impor- tance both as a granary for the produse of the banks of the Don, and as the key in some sort to Perekop; and the Asia announces that the Mamelon and White Tower at Sebastopol have been taken by the Allied forces after a heavy slaughter. Blow after blow seems to fall with power and rapidity. Pelissier is showing his mettle, and is an obvious improvement on Can- robert. Lord Raglan, to whom the Kertch expedition is attributed, @ gaining vigor, and the armies and nations generally are in better temper. Even in England the cry for reform bas grown dull. It remains to be seen whether this is one of the usual fluctuations of war, natural after so long a period of discouragement on the part of the Allies, or the beginning of series of solid and enduring triumphs. The object of the Allies being,as they say, not to rob Russia of territory, but to weaken her naval power in the Black Sea, that object is of course neared by the occupation of the Sea of Azoff. It does not seem likely, notwithstand- ing all the brilliant accounts given in the Brit- ish papers, that either Kertch or Yenikale were storehouses used to any great extent by the army of Sebastopol. The state of the roads be- tween Arabat, Kaffa and Sebastopol—as de- scribed by Demidoff who rode over them a few years ago—forbids the belief that any conside- rable quantity of provisions could have come by that route. But itis quite possible, as the English say, that the resources of the valley of the Don have been laid under contribution as well as those of the valley of the Doieper, and that large supplies have sailed through the Sea of Azoff to Genitcbi, or even found their way to Perekop. This would account for the seizure of the 6,000,000 rations, obviously at the for- mer place. The object of the Allies is to lock the Russians in the Crimea. The only door now left open is Perekop. Perekop was to have been attacked and seized in a few days. Whether it can be held or not in the months of June and July appears doubtful. The Rus- leaving soldiers in the “ vale of death,” where @ single night’s dew often swept off whole regt- ing Arabs, may not be so squeamish. On the whole, there is decided and solid progress on the part of the Alles. It is not probable that any General ever undertook so magnificent a military task as the one which Pelissier and Raglan are now attempting to perform. Their aim is to cut off from Russia, like a wart, the Crimean penin: sula, with all its forts and its granaries and its cepitale, Only about a thousand years ago that peninsula nourished a people who could call 200,000 fighting men into battle—who set up an Emperor in Byzantium in play, and kept the Czar of Russia in a sort of semi-servitade, he paying a tribute to the Khan of the Crimea. Now a couple of hundred thousand, or perhaps a quarter of a milion English, French and Italians seck to overrun it, and wrest it out of the hands of the Czar, who has a million of men to defend it. And we are bound to admit that they are prosecuting their task and ad- vancing step by step, with a regulsrity, an energy and a perseverance which we recognise at once as AngloSaxon. For their sakes it were a pity if at the most critical momenta treacherous move of Austria, set freé the corps d’armée on the Gallician frontier to move down like a cloud of locusts on the ill defended frontier posts on the Crimea. Kxow Norme Oren Covncrts.—The decree of the Philadelphia National Know Nothing Council, opening, to a great extent, the subor- dinate Councils of the Order and their proceed- ings to the public, has already given a new im- pulse to the party. Their late open @ir meet- ings in Philadelphia and in this city have fairly inaugurated this new order of the day, In Maseachusetts they are about to call an open State Convention. In other States they will, doubtless, do the same thing. Let not the Or- der in New York fall behind. They hold the vantage ground, now, over any other party in the State, Let them prepare to maintain it by an early State Council, and au open one, for the discussion of their policy fh our next No- vember canvass.

Cuba and her indepen- dence before ail, P, VALIENT! Secretary of the Cuban Junta. Here it will be perceived that while the Se- cretary pleads that in our historical sketch of explosion, we did not give the exact facts in the matter, he refrains himself from disclosiog them from considerations of prudence for “the cause.” We are thus admonished that “the cause” is not yet abandoned, but that the time is near at hand when all the facts concerning all these conspiracies for the liberation of Cuba may be safely published tothe world. From the gexeral tone of this letter, in fact, it would appear that the Junta is still in a hopefal and flourishing condition, and very indastriously employed in concocting another scheme for a Cuban revolution in conjunction with a fili- bustering invasion from our shores. B will be recollected that the Cabinet at Washington, upon certain intimations received of the ripeness of the late cosspiracy, sent out aseoret diplomatic agent last summer to Ha- vana, with instructions to worm himself into the confidence of the leading conspirators in the island, and to worm their secrets out of them in the treacherous disguise of friend. ship, and that having thas accomplished his work, he was to return and report pro- gress to Mersrs, Pierce and Marcy. It is known that this spy did his work very suc- cessfully, and that upon his information Marcy exposed the whole plot to the Spanish Minister at Washington. Hence the barbarous execution of Pinto, Estrampes and others, and the im- prisonments, banishments, confiscations and terroriem with which the poor Creoles of Caba were visited by General Concha. Our treache- rous administration is responsible for them all. Its blocdy duplicity in this business, black as it may appear, cannot be denied. Copies of the correspondence which passed between Marcy’s spy and Manuel Pinto and others, are, we un- derstand, in possession of the Junta of this city; and we are further informed that at the proper time they will be publiehed. They will form an nteresting supplement to Mr. Soulé’s book on his mission to Spain. All wen will agree that itis the duty of the administration to see that the laws, including our neutrality laws, are faithfully executed ; but we suspect that this duty does not compre- hend the policy of sending a spy to a foreign country to betray the patriots there to the despotiem against which they are conspiring, In the eyes of the Spanish government Pinto, Estrampes and their associates were traitors ; but who ‘shall say that their motives ard objects were not as pure aad patriotie as were those of the self-eacrificiag patriots of our Revolutionary war; for they, too, were denounced as rebels and traitors? At all events, the administration has gone beyond its jurisdiction in sending out a spy upon the patriots of Cube, to do the dirty work of an in- former against them, at the expense of the United States treasury. In thus going into the Spanish service in Spanish territory, our Cabi- net ehould-at least have drawn the costs from the Minister. We trust that among the first acts of the next Congress will be one eppointing a committee of investigation into this busine:s, with power to send for persons and'papers. Governor Regper and His Havr-Breep Kaxsas Laxp Srecunatioys.—Our readers wil: remember that we have repeatedly charged that the land speculations of Governor Reeder have had @ greet deal to do with the late squatter troublesin the Territory of Kansas, and that all the time he has been held up by the Wash- ington Union as a perfect model of democratic purity and excellence. Batthe truth is official- ly coming out at last. “A very pretty quarrel as it stands,” between the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs, Mr. Manypenny, and Governor Reeder, is bringing it all oat. Moanypenny arraigns Reeder as soiling his off- cial robes with his dirty speculations in the rich lands of the simple half-breeds of Kansas, who are under the especial care of Manypenny. Indeed, this guardian of the said half-breeas pretty broadly insinuates that the Governor has been taking advantage of their simplicity to cheat them out of their property. The Go- vernor confesses that in certain joint stock ope- rations with some other federal officers of Kan- sas, including the two Judges, (Heaven pre- serve us!) he did buy up several large tracts of land from the said half-breeds; but he argues that they are intelligent half-breeds, can speak French and English, and can’t be cheated as easily as the Commissioner might suppose, The upshot of the whole matter is that the Governor, Judges and Attorney are required to make out their defence and lay it before the government, their retention in or dismissal from office depending upon the result. Phe Governor has accordingly gone out to Kansas to hunt up his evidence, and very likely to sell out his lands for what they will fetch, or to boy more. We must await the denouement. Such are the Kansas epoilemen of this glorious administration. Sent out to execute the laws, and to see justice administered, they turn to speculating upon the property of the poor half- breed Indians, to the monopolizing of all the nice localities they can lay their hands on, and to such a scurvy free soil policy in general as to bring the armed Missourians into the Terri- tory at the hazard of a civil war. We shall see how Mr. Reeder and Mr. Pierce will shuffié out of the difficulty. the late Cuban conspiracy and the causes of its |. Mayor, it seems, has determined to take it on his own responsibility not to execute the ‘Pro- hibitory Liquor law oa the Fourth of July, Whatever evil purpose or mischance induced the Legislature to select that day to iasugurate the new Blue Law, it is quite clear that nothiag could be more shocking to the feclings of Am2- ricats than the disturbange of the celebration of the national anniversary by riots oa thet day. Ard that any rach attempts to enforce the Liquer law on the Fourth would lead to riots, and bloody ones, the most perverse sup- porter of the law will hardly venture to deoy. Hence the Mayor viewing the omission of 4 day as of little consequence and reviewing the means at his power to carry out the law ata time when countless thoueands wil! be in the streets, quite ready for a row, has come to the conclusion that under any circumstances the better course for him to pursue will be to let the law lie over till the fifth. But it is said that Governor Myron Clark of Canandaigua will not have itso. It is loudly rumored that, if the Mayor will not execute the law, he, Goverzor Clark, is ready to take his place at the head of the militia of the State and see it done. We were well aware that the Prohibitory Jaw was a favorite of Mr. Clark’s ; that he drew it ; was elected on the strength of it; has done little since he took office bat get it passed ; and now it appears he wants to exe cute it.in person at the head.of a regiment with loaded muskets and fixed bayonets. Tais moy be going too far. The constitution of the State does certainly declare that the Governor shall “ expedite all such measures as may be resolved upon by the Legislature, and ehall take care that the laws are faithfully executed.” But the Mayor als> is directed by law to “be vigilant and active in causing the laws and ordinances of the go- vernment of the city to be duly executed aud enforced ;”’ and this elause obviously includes legislative acts as wellas municipal ordinances. When two men appear, according to the words of a law, to be set to perform the same duty, it is generally understcod that he on whose ehoulders the performance of the law wou'd most naturally fall—who is nearest the spot —ie most familiar with the nature of the busi- nesé—and would travel least out of the way to perform the required duty—is the man who is meant. Under this rule of interpretation, the execution of the Liquor law in the city being clearly “a law for its government” devolves upon the Mayor. According to the common law, the Mayor is paramount in his mayoralty. The political power, say all the old writers, is subservient to the municipal authority in the municipality. And most assuredly, according to the rules of common sense, it devolves rather upon the head of the city than the State go- vernment to carry out a law, which at best is only a mere measure of police. We can quite understand therefore that Mayor Wood should have written to the Go- vernor, remonstrating with him against his al- leged intention. It is not possible, however, to foresee the result of his message. It may bo that Mr. Clark is one of those men like Neal Dow, who think everything should be sacrificed to his pet theory. He may come here with thousand men or so to back him to stop the sale of liquor on the Fourth. We cannot un- dertake to say what legal measures the muni- cipal authorities might tuke to prevent so un- neceseary and unwarrantable a piece of med- Gling, nor whether with common sense to back them, they would be certain to defeat the Go- veruor. But one thing is quite certain. If Myron Clark comes here in search of a riot, and has it in bis heart to play the Neal Dow, he may rest quite satisfied that he will aitain his purpose by trying to enforce the Liquor law on the Fourth. The only difference between the two cases will be that where Dow had sol- diers Clark will need regiments; where Dow fired a shot, Clark will need a volley; and for one man wounded in Portland there will be @ core killed here. Mayor Wood has not, since the message which appeared some weeks back, made any pub" lic avowal of his intentions. But we have the best ground for believing that with reference to the ulterior bearings of the Liquor law, he in- tends to guide himself by the advice of the legal counsellors to whom the law directs him to refer in case ef difficulty, and that he will not in any case direct the police to interfere with impor:- ed Jiquors, According to the best light which he can procure, the Prohibitory law does not apply tosuch. It prohibits the sale of intoxi- cating liquors, in general, but excepts those which are foreign grown and imported from abroad. This may not have been the intention of the framers of the law, but it is, according to the best advice and the judgment of the Meyor, the actnal effect of the law as they pacsed it, and ag the Mayor, of course, and all executive officers are bound to carry it out. Thoze therefore who apprehend that after tlie Fourth of July it will beimpoesible to procure liquor, will be agreeably disappointed. Of French brandies, clarets, burgundies, sherry, Madeira, Port wine, champagne, Scotch whis- key, Jamaica rum, and British ales, there is no reacon in life why the sale should be diminish- ed co much a8 glassfal. The only effect of the Prohibitory law may be to destroy the growing wine and brandy interest of Ohio, and to put a check on the manufacture of native whiskey and rum. But it would not make much @ifference to this city if all the Catawba andell the Monongahela now drank were kept ethome. The growers might feel it, theconsa- — mers would not. ‘Tup Tuearnes.—By reference to our advertising co, Jumns, our readeti will find a treat has been provided for hem at all the places of amusement Marine Affairs.
