Fn ay ae plan with European advices to the 16th inst. The news is interesting. The details ef the atteck upon the exterior works of Sebastopol ou the 7th inst., a brief notice of which was received by the Asis, show that the enterprise was com plete- 2y successful.” The capture of those works enabled fhe allies to fire upon the Russian shipping, which ‘was speedily taken into more secure quarters. The latest despatch from Varna states that the French twoops had been recalled from Kertch, probably to emist in some great blow against Sebastopol. The troops in the Grimea were suffering from cholera. Parther successes of the allies in the Sea of Azoff are reported. Large atores of provisions have been @estroyed. In London, the Administrative Reform Association held a meeting at Drury Lane theatre ‘9m the 13th, at which Mr. Layard delivered a apee:h @f great force. In Parliament, the subject of a de. imal currency bad been under discussion. Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Van Buren were in London. The fermer had received every attention. In Spain, the Carliat insurrection was progressing with great- er rapidity than the government were willing to ac- immowledge. The only item ot news from France is tthe official and professional notification that the Empress is in an interesting condition. Consola Were quoted at 91}. Cotion had been quiet, but prices remained fi:m. Breadstaffs were dull. The stesmanip Empire City, from New Orleans, via Havana 23d inst., arrived about one o’clock this morning. She brings no news of importance. Ha vana was quite healthy. By way of New Orleans we have news from the eity of Mexico to the 19tn iast. Santa Anna had wetarned to the ospital, having been defeated by Alvarez, near Menatto, with the loas of five hundred Billed ard wounded. The revolutionary army, un- der Alvarez and Comonfort, had taken Sonora aad ‘was investing Morelia. While in the souta the insur” genta are advancing towards the capital with rapid march, in the north Monterey still remained in the poenession of the revolutionists. A large force of government troops had bees despatched to attempt Sta recapture, avd our next sccounts from that re- gion will probably bring us news of a bloody battle, Santa Anna is rapidly nearing the close of his ®areer,and a few brief weeks will scarce’y pass way before he will be fighting his game cocks in the pits at Carthagena with his old ardor. Tho Rewepapers of the capital, in order to divert the public mind from the disasters which almost daily eecur to the government forces, make a great pa- wade in publishing accounts of trifling successes gained over insignificant marauding parties of the enemy. The national or hazd shell section of the demo eratic party held a meeting at the Metropolitan ‘theatre last night, ex-Judge Beardsley in the chair. ‘The theatre, which will seat 3,500 persons, was quite fall. A great mapy popular speakers were an- mounced, but none of the stars whose names were ‘gmneunced in the bills appeared on the stage. The seeolutions denounce the Know Nothiags, the Maine law, the administration and the soft shelis. Mr. Daniel D.Sickles made the principal speech of the evening. He made a slight error in his statis- ties, in stating that out of 500 or 600 members elected to the late Massachusetta Legislature butone ‘was a member of any other party except the Know Kothings. The whole number of members was not quite 400, of which fifty or sixty were whigs, onea Gemocrat, and the rest Know Nothings. Our despatches from Washington, though brief, ‘ave interesting. Mr. Wileon, Commissioner of the General Land Office, received his dismissal yester- @ay, and immediately evacuated his post. His suc- @eseor will probably be ex-Governor Shannon of Ohio. It has been reported that Se:retary McCle!- and would resign in the event of Wilson’s decapit:- tion, anda score or two of greedy expcctarte are mow eagerly waiting to have their anticipations ful- Milled. The speeches of Gan. Davis in Mirsissippi, about the appointment of Gov. Roeder and his resen- tien in office, seems to have greatly nettled the Pre- sident; but if Davis is firm, of course the President ‘will givein. Secretary Dobbin is so seriously ill as to render his retirement from the Cabinet at an carly @ay almost certain. President Pierce aad Mrs. Pierce left Washington yesterday for tho seashore, for the benefit ef the health of the latter. ‘The Maine State Temperance Convention ad- journed yesterday, after a two days’ session. It was fally attended, and the resolutions adopted were of the most ultra politico temperance character. The speakers strongly sustained Neal Dow in his conduct at the Portland riot. The regular demoeracy of Maine have formally come out in opposition of the Drohibitory law, and consequently the speakers @irected their efforts mainly againgt the only or- ganized opponents to the law in the State. The Garrett Smith and Fred Douglass wing of the ultra abolitionists held s State convention at Syracuse yesterday. The design of this gathering «as to harmonize the various cliques of impracti- ableg on some common platform of fanaticiam. How for they succeeded in effecting this object is more than we can diszover from the procoedings, ‘Dat wo miss the names of the old bellwo:hers of the perty-colored flock in Maszachusetts from among the delegates mentioned. ‘The Vermont Free Soil State Convention met at Barlington yesterday. The fusion ticket for Siete MMeers adopted lest year was re-nominated. Toe resolutions were of the well known Vermont aboli- ‘tion tone, tapering off with a stiff supporter of the Probibitory Liquor law. The Massachusetts Know Nothing Convention mecta at Boston to-day, and we hope its proceed- ‘ings will at least be productive of more iaterest than the abolition and cold water performaaoss of Fenterday. Among the four Supreme Court Judges of Con. meotiout choren by the Legislature of tha’ State yesterday, was Lorin P. Waldo, present Commis. sloner of Pensione. Hon. Char. J. M Cardy, former: ly Ohsrgé des Affaires to Austria, was one of the wpanccessful candidates. The cotton market was steady yesterday, with sales of about 1,000 bales. Common grades of flour ‘wore dul}, without farther change in prices. A small lot of prime white Michigan wheat sold at $2 62}. Indian corn sold freely at 97c. & 980., with some lots at$1, closing at the inside: figures. Considerable eontracts were settled for Jane delivery on private terms. Pork was firm, and tended upward. Freights engaged, and at the close higher rates were de- manded. Pubiio proclamation of the Japan treaty has at last been made by the Prosideat. We give the decument entire in our co'umns, c7nfiaent that « treaty which hae attracted such universal attention, both at home and abroad, will bs extensively read, Proceedings have been commenced ia the Marine Court against Mr. Jacobsohn for salaries for the members of the orchestra of the Itatian Opera Com- papy at Nibio’s theatre. We publish to-day a ist of the vessels laanched since the first of the year at the shipyards of New York and vicinity, and algo the number and character of thoee remaining on the stock:. We cannot report apy improvement in this branch of business. The vessels now in course of construction number but sixteen, aggregating lese than nineteen tiousand tons, with no new contracts in prospective. The particulars of the suicide of a young mau and young woman ia Brooklyn yesterday morning are given in another column. The mystery surrouad- ing tuis ead affair bas created considerable seusa- tion. Whether they were lovers or married is as yet unknown, but it appears quite evident that an attempt is maae to affix acruel reproach upon the unfortunate young female. His Excellency Gov. Myzon H. Clark arrived to town late last evening. Today he will visit the institutions under charge of the Commissioners of Emigration. They qill start from the Astor House at 10 o’clock A. M. In consequence of recent heavy rains two exten- sive breaks have occurred on the Champlain canal north of Waterford. The Superiatendent estimates that ten days will be required to repair these breaches. The New Cuban Conspiracy Against the United States=The Finger of England Deep in the Pie, The new conspiracy for the independence of Cuba begins to assume a palpable and definite shape. The letter of our Washington corres- pondent, published yesterday, discloses the leading particulars of the plot, from which it appears that England is to be relied upon to secure the liberation and independence of the island, upon the important concessions to her of the abolition of slavery, and of bonds for the payment of at least portion of the debt due to British subjects from the government of Spain, This scheme is not only plausible, but, from the facts and argaments presented by our cor- respondent, is positively startling. A more dangerous scheme against the naval, commer. cial and political interests of this country in the Gulf of Mexivo, could not well be devised. The reason why, thus far, England has been ever ready to come to the assistance of Spain against Cuban rebels and Awcrican filibusters, is that their plans have uniformly compre- hended the annexation of Cuba to the United States. This would never do. The rapidly in- creasing commercial greatness of this republic, on the other hand, it is the interest, the policy and the purpose of England to arrest by all available means. The acquisition of Cuba would give at once to the United States the military command of the Gulf, and such an impetus to our commerce in that quarter, and our social and political intercourse with the West Indies, Mexico and Central America, as would soon threaten the complete overthrow of British influence, British designs and British intrigaes in all those islands ard countries, and the seas which wash them. Hence the policy of wresting from us, as it were, the Ieland of Cuba, becomes a vital issue to England, scarcely second in importance to the reduction of the weight and influence of Russia, touching the balance of power in Europe and Western Asia. This new conspiracy of the disaffected Cuban Creoles furnishes a feasible plan for the perpetual separation of Cuba from the United States; and a plan, too, more desirable than the abso- lute seizure of the island, for that would ia. volve the hazards of a quarrel with France and an immediate rupture with Brother Jonathan. No euch hazards are involved in this new con- spiracy. The Creoles of Cuba are to rise in rebellion against the oppressive government of Spain. This is an inherent popular right which we cannot deny. England is to aid them, on condition that they redeem certain debts of Spain; and with the further condition that when free to act for herself, the government of inde- pendent Cuba shall at once proceed to the abo- lition of slavery in the island. Can we make this a cause of war, with the free soil sentiment of the North holdiog the whip-hand in the House of Representatives at Washington, and foresworn against the admi:- sion of any more slave States? No. Let the bargain be consummated between England and the Cuban Creoles; let the latter, therefore, riee in rebellion, and declare the independence of Cuba, under the auspices of the English gov- ernment, and under cover of an Eaglish fleet, and Cuba is not only lost to us forever, but becomes substantially, for all commercial and military purposes, litle less than an English colony, and her Gibraltar for the Gulf of Mexico. There is only one way by which the absorp- tion of Cuba into the United States can be por- petually defeated, and that is the abolition of slavery. Abolish slavery in the island, make it a free negro empire like one end of Hayti, or a mixed republic of free whites, blacks and mu- lattoes, like the other end, or a free negro colony like Jamaica, or a free negro rendezvous like Canada, and the accession of Cuba, so far from being any longer desirable to ue, will be regarded, especially in the South, as a nuisance and a curse. It will become a source of per- petual annoyance, repulsion and antagonism, involving not only the @angers of future and dicastrous foreign wars, but the greater perils to us of servile insubordination and insurrec. tions in the South. The policy of England is to break down the growing commercial supremacy of the United States, through this institution of Southern slavery. Itis our only assailable point; it is to us the valnerable heel of Achitles. We have seen how industriously the Haglich abo lition societies have been aiding in fomonting and extending the anti-slavery agitation in our Norjhern States. To this end Stafford House and its affiliated establishments have been exceedingly liberal in their abolition em- issaries, pamphlets, and contributions of nil kinds. In the Galf of Mexica, on the othor hand, the government of England has been equally active. From the Jamaica emancipa- tion act, and the intrigues of “the maa with the white hat” in the late republic of Texas, down to the present day, the legislation and the diplomacy~of England have been mainly directed against the exteasion of our Southern boundary and our Southern institution of sla- very. Failing of her object in Texas, it may yet be safely assumed that trom Mexico to the Bermudas, ehe hes secured a barrier against the further advances of this Southern institu- Is'and ot Cuba. So now, if Cuba can be cut off from her “manifest destiny,” there is yet hope for the continuance of the otherwise x- piring commercis] supremacy of Eagland. Three things within the past year have Ope- rated to give shape and substance to this ew con- spiracy between the Cuban Creoles and the abo- litionis's of Eogland, including her present Pre- wier, Lord Palmerston. The first is the revival of the anti-slavery agitation among us, upon the Nebraska bill. Secondly, the treachery of the administration at Washington towards the Cuban Creoles and the filibusters ot the Iate ex- ploded conspiracy. Thirdly, the official declara- tion of Senor Luzuriaga, the late Prime Minister of Spain, that it was the fixed policy of his gov: ernment to protect and maintain the institation of African slavery in Cuba. The Nebraska agitation raises a cloud of dast and smoke high:. ly favorable to this English scheme for Cuba’s independence—the treachery of the administra- tion has, to a great extent, alienated the Creoles tom the doctrine of “manifest destiny,” aud the pledge of Luzuriaga for the maintenance of slavery may very well be considered as having excited the abolition indignation of John Bail. After promising, cojoling-ard intriguing with the authorities, both at Madrid and Havana, for several yeare past, for the emancipation of the slaves of Cuba, it could hardly be expected that Evgland would receive Luzuriaga’s declaration without some decisive manifestation of her dis- pleasure at the first opportunity. We have here, then, a chain of facts and circum- stances, causes and effects, giviog a high degree of plausibility and practicability to this new Creole and English programme for the inde- pendence of Cuba. Its fulfilment may depend very much upon the contingencies of this Rus- sian war. In the meantime, would it not be well, on the part of ouradministration, to order avother conference upon the subject by our diplomats in Europe, similar to that at Ostend, with an cffer of, say a hundred and fifty, instead of a hundred and twenty, millions for the peacea- ble transfer of the island to this Union, slavery and all? We submit the question to our Premier, Mar- cy, in all seriousness, and would suggest to him, confidentially, the expediency of sounding the Britich government upon the subject, with- out loss oftime. For us or against us,in all probability the future destiny of Cuba, withia the next five years, will be irrevocably settled. ‘We must be qnick, or the prize is loat. The finger of England is deep in the pie. Post Orrick MisMaNaGemENnt.—We publish in another column a copy of some correspon- dence which has recently passed between the Hon. Horatio King, the first Assistant Postmas- terGeneral, and Mr. F. W. Golladay, late Post- master of Lebanon, ia reference to a complaint made in this paper a short time since of the non-delivery of the Heraup to one of our sub- scribers. In this instance the fact is satisfac- torily accounted for by a clerical error in the direction of the cover, and the identification of the surname thus altered with that of anothr person to whom the paper was sent. This is one of thoee curious coincideaces which some- times cauce confusion in the best regulated arrangements, and we give the Post Office the full benefit of the explanation. In the same spirit of fairness we also publish, from the Bos- ton Herald, the Post Office version of Mr. Hooper’s case which appeared in our issue of the 23d. The Boston Postmaster states that the cauce of the detention and non-delivery of his money-letter, was the fact of the omission by that gentleman to pay the postage upon it when it was first mailed. As, however, one swallow won’t make a sum- mer, neither will these two isolated cases of justification on the part ot the Post Office serve to excuse the numerous well founded complaints that are daily made against its management. There is scarcely an individual in the commu- nity who cannot contribute some of his owa personal mischances to the general cataloguc of grievances againat it. Few, however, think it worth the tronble to make any noise about the matter, seeing that the more serious charges brought against the department are incapable of satisfactory explanation. Of this character are the extraordinary facts lately made public with regard to the sale to paper manufacturers of dead letters, with money enclosures toa large amount. The Connecticut affair, although an attempt was made to rebut the evidence respect- ing it, has never been satisfuctorily cleared up; and the more recent case which occurred in Maryland, and in which enclosures to the amouat of $424 were found in letters sold by the Post Office as waste paper, has as yet received no contradiction from the department. Let it be clearly understood that it is to the rystem, and not to individuals, that we charge all these blunders. Judge Campbell, Mr. King, and the other heads of the Post Office, are no doubt worthy and capable men in their different pursuits, but it requires some other qualifica- tion besides this for the efficient administration of a great public department. It cannot be ex- pected that persons who have passed their lives in other avocations should at once, and as if by intuition, obtain all that practical experience ond acquaintance with official details which in this, perhaps more than in any other branch of the public service, are specially called for. No; the whole fault lies in the syetem iteelf. Since the time of Amos Kendall, the Post Oiice has been rendered a sort of political engine in the hands of party intriguera, All the offices in the gift of ihe department are now considered merely as the prizes of zealous partisanships. The conse- quence is, that from frequent changes in its or- ganization, and personal inefficiency on the Part of office holders, affairs are now managed there in a manner which would disgrace the in- fancy of the institution. It is dificult to understand why the same re. ferming spirit which is carrying out such a severe inquiry into the moral as well as pro- fessional organization of our navyy—an inquiry nore stringent and more inquisitorial than has ever before been instituted in any country or in ary service—should pass over so long the glaring defects and abuses of our Post Office system. It seems to us that there is in the lat teras wide, if not a wider field for the jealous rerutiny and vigilance of Congress or the poo- ple. We would have the principles on which the Navy Committee is constituted, carried out in every department of the public service. We would have, more than all, an efficient, busi- ness man at the head of the government. Moral ecrrectness and professional experience should be the tests of a man’s capacity for government cmployment, and not the prostitution of his poli- tical opinions to the service of a party. Uatil this is more generally the case we shall neither have an elevated standard of public morality nor correctness or efficiency in our.public de- tion, excepting the single drawback of tae ' partments. THURSD.aY, JUN 28, 1856. a6 Awentcan Oncan ar Wasurvoroy—Iu- ‘conrant Coancs.—Vespasian Ellis, of the Kaow Nothing central newspaper at Washingtoa, has become tired, yea heartily sick, of organ griad- ing. He retires in diegust, and Mr. Wm. Bar- well, of Va, takes his place. This is a sensible change on the part of the proprietors of the pa- per. Ellis has been adamaging buckster to the perty from the start, trading away its priaciples for the slimmest possible chances for the public plunder. His gambling propensities, as illus- trated in his reckless betcing and blathering during the late Virginia canvass, have, as we fear, not only emptied his own pockets, but the pockets and bank assets of a host of his over- eredulous and confiding friends, Determined tobe revenged upon somebody, he jumped from the frying pan into the fire, by picking # quar- rel with the New Yorx Heratp—a jump which appears to have finished his organic history. Very well. There‘are other pursuits still open, in come one of which we hope the peculiar ge- nius of Mr, Ellis may meet with better success, Meantime we congratulate the American party on their new editor at Washington, Mr. Bar- well. He belongs to that class of modern pr3- gressive men whose administrative talents and practical intelligence in political affairs, have heretofore been too much overlooked by all parties, in hunting up “venal politicians,” broken down lawyers, caucus favorites, and mi- litary heroes, big and little. Weventure to say that the columns of the Washington Organ will soon illustrate the difference between the late incompetent editor and the new and prac- tical man. The antecedents, principles and policy of Mr. Burwell rest upon that conserva- tive middle ground of the Philadelphia plat- form, which even General Cass approves as the only course for any great national party upon the slavery question. In this view, Sena- tor Wilson will no longer be a favorite of the Washington Organ. Let Mr. Burwell, upon this plattorm, go ahead. Academy of Masic—Don Giovanni. Mozart’s chef d’quvre, that brilliant composition which for three-quarters of a century has kept a fast hold of the public favor, through all the varying changes of fashion and popular caprice, was prodused last night at this house to one of the largest audiences that has as yet been assembled within its walls, The theatre was literally crammed from top to bottom, and hundreds went away disappointed of seats. A more brilliant and imposing coup d’ail than the scene pre. rented it is imporsible to conceive. ‘There are few regular opera goers who are not ac- quainted with the history, as well as withthe music, of this piece. It was compored for the Opera at Prague, and was performed for the first time in that city in 1787. The motive for its production there was, curious to say, the notion entertained by the composer that the refined and intellectuai character of ita music would not be appreciated at Vienna. Tie conclueion would seem to have been warranted by the fact that even at Rome it dii not fully succeed. Pos- terity has, however, rendered full justice tothis master- ly production. In the whole range of the lyrical drama, there is no opera which has attained such universal and enduring popularity, its repetition commandiog, wher. ever fine music is appreciated, larger audiences than cap be drawn together by any other piese. There are one or two recent circumstances connected with the history of this work, which enhance the in- terett attaching t> it. The first English version of it ‘tbat was produced, wasfrom the pen of poor Bishop, who, after a Jong and eminent professional career, late- ly died in London in circumstances of absolute indigence. His adaptation, though it hada temp:rary success, was, from ite wortblessness, soon consigned to oblivion. A better version was within the Iast few years produced at the Princess’ theatre, and this has ever since main tained its place on the English stage. Last month the original piece was revived with great éclat at Covent Garden theatre, the veteran Tamburini, who has always been considered the best Don Juan that has been seen within the memory of the present genera tion, having been called from his retirement to sustaia the part. The representation was one of great interest, and caused no smallexcitement. Every one was curious to see bow the old gallant would impersonate again his youthful follies, £o farssa goodly presence and high spirits could go, there was the Giovanni of former times; but the voice, upon whose tones so many delighted listeners had dwelt, was nolonger tobe heard. Still, the Jose was in some degree counterdalanced by the pleasure which th ience felt in welcoming back again to the stage a: favorite, and by the combined attraction of the splendid talents of Bosio, Mario and Lablache, a cast for # piece such se is rarely witnessed, ‘The cast of the opera last night, although it did not ioclude such world-renowned reputations as those we have just mentioned, was yet the most effective that has éver been teen in this country. With Lagrange as Zerlina, Ross Devries as Donna Anna, Siedenberg as Donna Elvira, Morelli as Don Juan, Mirate as Don Otta- vio, and Rovere as Leporello, we are justified in saying that no opera could be put upon our stage with stronger elements of success. That Lagrange should sing the airs of her réleto perfection was to be expected from this accomplished artist, but that she should act the Fart with so much natural grace and expression we were not prepared for. The impression which at first yrevailed that her histrionic were far below her vocal talents, has been gradually giviog way before the un- questionable ability which she has displayed in this way in some of her later rdles. Her ‘‘Batti, batti” and “Vedrai Carino’? were beth beautifully given, and ércw down thunders of applause. Mirate’s Don Ottavio, although it would not bear comparison with that of Ma- Tio, wae yet very finely rendered, Hia Z/ mio (esoro was given with a tendermess and exquisite finish that fell little short of the manner in which it was suog by that eceat artist. Of the other characters ave only espace to any a’ few words. The Dona Anva of Madame Devries was like everything she does—an extremsly cre. Gitable performance. sSiedenberg’s Elvira was correct in expression, but not so effective. The Leporello of Ro- vere was capita)ly impersonated, and kept the house in continual merriment. Of Signor Guilio’s Masetto we bave to report favorably for a Gret appearance. The opera can only be repeated once more, as the en- gogement of the troupe is near its close. This is to be regretted for the sake of the management as well as of the public, for we feel assured that the piece would ran profitably for st least a fortnight. What can’t bereme- died, however, must be endured, These speculations re- quire experience avd foresight to indicate exactly when and where to hit the public taste. Had the Chevalier Wikoff hed the management of this admirable troupe, there would neither have been failures as to time, nor miscaleviations as ‘o chances, such as we bave wit, nesned thia week, ° Niblo’s Garden. Asalocn, magnificent in proporticn and truly chaste and beautifal in decoration, filled by an elegantly dressed audience, in of iteelfa pleasaut thing to look open, and the very place to enjoy in perfection the glo- rious sioging of Louisa Pyne, aud gaze upon the splendid scenery, procexsion and tableaux which abound in the new grand opera of ‘The Daughter of St. Mark.” After av hour's enjoyment thus, a stroll through the spacious - ond beautiful corridors, an ice cream in the brilliantly iMuminated ladies’ saloon, the enjoyment of a true Ha- yana in the a? fresco smouing room, complete eve- ning’s amusement perfect of its kind, and not to be found under any one roof in Europe or America, except that which covers in Mr. Niblo’s magnificent establish- ment. Thet this is « fact, ail who have travelled throngh Europ: and oor own country must admit, and all the great artists who have visited this country have exprecsed satovishment at finding the most complete operatic and dramatic temple, with all the means and appliances for balle, concerts, public mestiags, lectures and roctal gatherings concentrated within one building, owned and directed by one men, and supervised with such care and ability as to gain for it the very highest pcpularity, and iosure it a success beyond all precedent.

Wasuinaton, June 27, 1855, Mr. Davis, Secretary of War, bas returned and resumed the duties of his oflice. General Pierce was rather severe on Davis for his remarks while in the South. ‘It places my administration,’ said Pieree, “in a ridiculous light. It might amswer in Mississippi, but it will kill me in every other State in the Union.” The health of Mr, Dobbin, Secretary of the Navy, is very poor. He will leave the city in a few days, and be absent some time. If his health gets no better, he will be compelled-to resign. ‘The Organ is furious this evening.

New Ontxans, June 26, 1855, The steamship Orizaba has arrived at this port with dates from the city of Mexico to the 19th inst. Santa Anna had returned to the captal. The govern: ment papers publish accounts of the defeat of several small parties of revolationists. Alvarez defeated the government troops near Mexatto, with a loss of 500 killed and wounded, He had also, in conjunction with Comonfort, taken Souora, and the united forces of the two generals were inves!
