The steawabip Asia, from Liverpool, arrived at ‘Malifax early yesterday morning. Her advices are to the 9th inst., three days later than those received by the St.Louis at this port. The war news is imteresting. The bombardment of Sebastopol was yecommenced on the 6th instant, and on the th Lord Raglan telegraphed to London that the French had attacked and carried the Mamelon and she White Tower, after des porate fighting and very great loss on both sides. Further details of the operations in the Sea ef Avoff are given, but they develope no new fe stare of positive importance. Admiral Dundas has re- eonnoitered Cronstadt, ana found it more strongly fortified than last year. The conduct of the Aus- twian military authorities in the Principalities is ‘eventing considerable attention, and may lead to serious results. It is staied by Prussian correspon. @ents that Austria considers hertelf released from all engegements to the Western Powers, the latter having refused to conclude a peace on reasonable ferme. There are all sorts of absurd ramors respect- img the prospective diplomatic movements or 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 mil @ Madrid, indicates the contrary. Tasre bad bean another reconstruc:ion of the ministry, ands forced loan of 200,000,000 reals had been im- posed. ‘The revolt in Cracow had not bzer entirely sup- pressed. The popular feeling was mainly directed against the priests. The war news had caused a rise in consola, whieh closed at 92. Coton was steady, at pre vious quotatious; corm showed an advance; other ‘breadstuffls without change; provisions firm. We publish elsewhere a brief account of the pro- ceedings of an antiMaine law meeting in Albany, to 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 canvases of the State, with power to cal! a convention, if ‘cir- e@umstances shoud justify such @ course, were adopted. ‘The propoeals for the new State loan of one mi'- Mon anda half of dollar’, for the canal enlarge- ment, were opened at Albavy yesterday Ths 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. Rufus H. King, of Albany, bid for $100,000, 117.28, and $100,000, 117.56. Jae. T. Souter, of New York, bid for $200,000, 117.27. Camman & Co., of New York, $60,000, 117.59. The bidders were very numerous. ‘The loan was awarded t the parties above nancd— $1,050,000 going to Mr. Thompson. The Know Nothing demonstration at Baltimore last evening was an immensely successful affair. Resolutions fully endorsing the Philadelphia plat- form were adopted. The Copenhagen correspondens of the Paris Presse states that fresh demands have heen pre- sented by the Western Powers—“ demands which May change completely the tace of affairs, Amongst other matters, the suppression of the Souud dues is talked of.” He adds, that in threatening to su> port the reclamations of the United States and Prostis 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 influences ths resolu- tions of the cabinet of Copenhagen on tha; su>ject. After the news by the St. Louis was kaown ia the forenoon, yesterday, about 2,000 bales of cotton were sold, at fall prices. Subs:quent te the recsipt ef the Asia’s advices, the market was uneettled, and BO transactions were reported. Flour exbibited a betterfeeling, without any change of moment ia prices. 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 higher 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 snd firmness in the sugar market, and the sales reached about 2,500 bhds. and 500 boxes. To Liverpool about 30,000 bashels corn were engaged, in bags and in bulk, at 54.8 54¢., and“400 bales cotton at 3-16d., and a small lot ef 100 bales, to fill up, at 532d.

"The new Navsl Examining Board commenced at Washington yesterday, but owing to the absence of Com. Bachanzen no business was transacted. The question as to the propriety of keeping ite proceed ings secret had not besn decided. Very strenuoug opposition is being made by the property owners in Greeawich aud Washington streete, against the construction of the Ninth Ave- nue Railroad. An epitome of the procesdiags be- fore Juége Cowles will be found in the law reports. Coxsiderable interest in the result seems to be mani- fested by those doing business around Washington Market, and we are intormed that the case fe prose- cuted bya voluntary subscription of the whole of that crowded neighborhood, The Chicego Courier of the 16t) inst., comes ont with a long article recommendiog Fernando Wood, chief magietrate of this city, for the Presileacy ia 1856. Judge Hall, at the opeving of the United States Circuit Court at Canandsigaa, on the 19th inst., ia his 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, wcether in the employ of the Post Office Do partment or not, was authorized, except in the case of dead letters, for any reason or under any pretence, to open a letter entrus'ed to tha mail, or even to detain such letter; and his honor charged the inqueat to present apy cases to the contrary which 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 charge a 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 dez- 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 produze 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 has 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 a 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 afew years ago—forbids the belief that any conside- rable quantity of provisions could have come by that route. But it is quite possibie, 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 Genitchi, 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 sejzed in a few days, Whether it can be held or not im the months of June and July appears doubtful. The Rus- sians used to shrink, in their old wars, from leaving soldiers in the « vale of death,” where & single night’s dew often swept off whole regi- ments ; Pelissier, who thought nothing of roast- ing Arabs, moy not be so squeamish. On the whole, there is decided and solid pregress 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 thonsand 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-servitude, he paying a tribute to the Khan of the Crimea, Now a couple of hundred thousand, or perhaps @ quarter of a milion English, French and Italians seck to overrun it, and wrest it out of the hands of the Ozar, 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 Notmye Oren Covscrts.—The decree of the Philadelphia National Kaow 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.

Cunan Arrams—Letrex rrom THE Secre- Mayor Woop ann tHe Liquon Law.—The TARY OF THE Junta —We have received the tol- lowing let'er from the preseat Secretary of the Cuban Junta of this city :— New Yorx, Jane !9, 1855, James G. Bennett, Esq — Sin—Im your estimable paper of the 17th inst., an article appeared headed ‘Curious Facts of the late Cu- ban Contpiracy—Expioded upon the Slavery Question,” which conteive errors of sucd importance ead transcen- fesse’ thet they should not be passed over without refu- tat But on auswer folly satis“actory would be the hietory ofeveats that would brivg upon our revolation, in the Present circumstances, most injurious evils if thoy ‘were presented to the public in general. The day will come—and it is not far off—when everything will be published, Facts stated in the article alluded to are not exact; they are u waded on historical trath; aad others are omitted of the highest value to history, Were the Cuban Junte moved by tho psrsoaal interests of ite mem! im preference to the mission they are charged with, it woald have spoken long ago, and pab- lished the whole truth. Bat the true interests of the cause is the North Star of the Janta. The cause of Cube, sir, ie rtillalive. It is susta'ned by reason and justice; 14 is written in every Cuan heart, and nourish- ed with the noblest passions, whish the 5 ja govern- ment is contributing tokindle and excite by ite tyramay and oppression. At @ moment, then, when efforts are being made to conquer our independence, and to recover the rights of & civilized people wanton! , Jy oppressed acd rodved, pra. dence and policy dictate that we should keep silent, and ‘bear and forbear with patriotic firmness and resignation every calumny or imputation which misguiled or misn- formed rriends or foes are pleased to bring about against the Junta, or any of ite members. We owe this prudent reserve to the very success of our fature measures and lators; we owe it to the personal safety oad tranqailhty of patriots and families, who, under the graep or in the reach of the tyrant, would suffer the aences of in- discreet and unneceesary deve! ite, The it be- Jongs to hiztory, and the his will have hie proper time to serve the truth and civilization. Our future is fall of hope, which should not be sacrificed and frus- trated merely to satisfy personal views or idle curiosity, or @ blind impatient anxiety. Gabe. see her oad dence before ail, . VALIENTE, Secretary of the Cuban Junta. Here it will be perceived that while the Se- cretary pleads that in our historical sketch of the lete Cuban conspiracy and the causes of its |. 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 pubjished to the 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 2 Cuban revolution in conjunction with a fili- bustering invasion from our shores. EB will be recollected that the Cabinet at Washington, upon certain intimations received of the ripeness of the late co.spiracy, 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 thus accomplished his work, he was to return and report pro- gress to Mersra. 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 Cabs were visited by General Concha. Our treache- rous administration is responsible for them all. Its blocdy duplicity in this business, black as it may eppear, 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 published. 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 cay that their motives ard objects were not as pure aad patriotic as were those of the selfeacrificing 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 Cuba, 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 should at least have drawn the costs from the Minister. We trust that among the first acts of the next Congress will be one eppointing 2 committee ot investigation into this busine:s, with power to send for persons and papers. Goverwon Reeper axp His Hatr-Brrep Kaxsas Lanp Srecoiarioys.—Our readers wili remember that we have repeatedly charged that the land speculations of Governor Reeder have had @ great 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 parity and excellence. Bat the truth is official- ly coming out at last. “A very pretty querrel as it stands,” between the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs, Mr. Manypenny, and Governor Reeder, is bringing it all oat. Manypenny arraigns Reeder as soiling his offi- 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-breeds 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- eas, 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 Englich, 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. The Governor has accordingly gone out to Kansas to hunt up his evidence, and very Mkely 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 polfoy in general ag to bring the armed Missourians into the Terri- tory at the hazard ofa civil war. We shall see how Mr. Reeder and Mr. Pierce will shuld out of the difficulty. Mayor, it seems, has determined to take it on his own reeponsibili'y not to execute the Pro- hibitery Liquor law oa the Fourth of July. Whatever evil purpose or mischance indaced the Legislature to sclect that day to iaaugurate 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 that day. Ard that any rath 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 a day as of little consequence and reviewing the means at his power to carry out the law ata time when couatless thousands will be in the streets, quite ready for a row, has come to the conclusion that under any circumstances the better course for him to purzue wil! be to let the law lie over till the fifth. But it is said that Governor Myron Clark of Canandaigua will not have itso. Itis loudly rumored that, if the Mayor will not execute the law, he, Governor 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 law 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 o regiment with loaded muskets and fixed bayonets. Tais may be going too far. The constitution of the State does certainly declare that the Governor shall “ expedite ali such measures as may be resolved upon by the Legislature, and shall take care that the laws are faithfully executed.” But the Mayor also 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 and enforced ;” and this elause obviously includes legislative acts as wellas municipal ordinances.

Backer, The following resolutions were thea read and adopted by scclamution:— Whereas, The Am-+ricam Convention assembled at Phi- Isdelphia. baving laid down principles for tha guidance of the Americsp party so purely natiovsl, American and patriotic in tone; 80 conge: with the spirit of those republican instituttors under which we have veea mur- tured, and the perpetuity of which we helieva to be essential ta.the preservation of those cherished biess- ings and lies for which cur forefathers battled and bled, ro peculiarly acapted to the exigen times, designed se they are to thwart the iotr' machinations lived, ‘That the prine'ples and etatiments enun- ciated by the American Convention be, ani they are hereby, cordislly approved of by the Americans of Bulti- wore, and that we wifl ever enceavor to maintain them in all their purity and strength. Resolved, That the American party fally recognizes ‘the rights of the revers] States, as expreased and re- in the constitution of ‘the United States; that a, under that constitution, possesses no pi te upon the subject of slavery, and that a 4 (of that question, waether within or withoat Con: }, is violative of that spirit of compromise in wish foundation of our government was Jaid, and should be condemned by every true lover of his country. Resolved, That the American party ucqualified)y con- demu, and will te bers to apap. all pai by any?sect or yy abont s unionfof churcl ce State; that it pledges Mteelt to protect man in the fuil end fair epjoyment of his religious rights; and that. regarding aa we do the Bible as the basis of all tal of a law, to be set to perform the same duty, it is generalJy understood that heon whose thoulders the performance of the law would most naturally fall—who is nearest the spot —ie most familiar with the nature of the busi- ness—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 ali 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 eale of liquor on the Fourth. We cannot un- dertake to say what legal measures the muni- cipal authorities might take to prevent so un- necessary and unwarrantable a piece of med- dling, nor whether with common sense to back them, they would be certain to defeat the Go- vernor. 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 attain 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 a ccore killed here, Moyor 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 liquors, 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 Mayor, the actnal effect of the law as they passed it, and as 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 beimpossible 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 reason in life why the sale should be diminish- ed so much asa glassful. 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 difference to this city if all the Catawba and all the Monongahela now drank were kept athome. The growers might feel it, the consa- mers would not. ‘Trp Turataes.—By reference to our advertising co.
