New York, Monday, July 23, 1855. ‘The News. ‘rhe steamsh'p Northern Light is now fully due at tis port, with Colifornia advices to the let inst.— ‘two week’s later than those previously received. Kewill be geen by the correspondence published elsewhere that Mr. Ebling, Commissioner of Streets and Lamps, has refased to sign the contract award- img the cleaning of the streets to Mesars. Smith, Beekel & Co., proprietors of the sweeping machines, under the operation of which this ward and a few ethers have recently been kept in such a remarkably @lean and healthy condition. In seventeen out of the twenty two wards they state that they are the Jowest bidders. if this be'true, they are entitled to ‘the contract, and should be allowed to go on with their work immediately. What reasons Mr. Ebling ean have in retusing to eign the necessary de:u- menta we cannot conivctare, as that gentleman has mot as yet assigued any. Ali that is known ia that such is the fact, rotwithstanding, too, that good se- earities have been produced by Messrs. Smith, Seck- @) & Ce., and the requirements of the law complied thin every respect. On Wednesdoy evening iat, after the adjoarn- ment of a Know Nothing meeting at Loctsville, at * which the speakers had beon interrupted several times by some persons in the crowd, sald to have been Irishmen, a number of disorderly individuals made an attack upon some honses which were 0c:u- aed by lrieh families. ftones were ‘thrown and abots fired,onda man end woman wounded. No esrests were made. Snch occurrences take place almost nightiy in Louieville, where pazty spirit rans wery high. Our news from Brazil is up to the Sth June. It brings to-us the important intelligence that the im- perial government has refased to ratify the term: of the convention recently entered into between their chief of squadron,’ Ohviera, aud the Paragasyan government. Oliviera is superseded in command, and bas been summoned to court to render an ac- eount of his stewardship. The probabilities, there fore, are that the hostile demonstrations of the Bra- ilisn fleet will be renewed on the Paraguayan tor wtory. Fhe policy ot Brazil tends to the acqui- eiticn of territory, and it is not unilkely that the recewal of hostilities will end im the absorption of Parsguay. We give this morning several piquant letter from popular watering-places; also, the ‘' Heraup Guide Book,” containing much valavele information for travellers compressed into a few words. ‘The City Council of Louisville contracted with faith, Seckel & Co., on Thursday last, for cleaning the streets of that city. ‘The sales of cotton Saturday were confined toa fow hundred bales, at irregular pricez, The views of buyers did not look beyond 10}c. for middling aplands, while holders were not cispozed to press sates.

Webb's Manifesto, For the more general information of all par- ties concerned, we tranefer to our columns this mosning the “ minifesto” of General Webb, of the Courier, on the question of the restoration of the Miesouri black line of 36-30. “To ac: complish that object,” says he, ‘and thas to burl back defiance upon those who have been dichonest and unprincipled, and reckless of fuith and honor, we are perfectly willing, if need be, +o consort, for the time being, with even politt- cal abolitionists, and all the other abominable isms of the day.’’ And we are just as flatly told that he “would rather a thoucand times vote for Garrison and Tappan as President aud Vice President, than iamely submit for an hour to the humiliation which the Senate has pat upon us by the repeal of the Missouri compromise.” There it is. Our amiablo yet warlike cotem- porary thus ia his desperation endorses the gramme of the Astor House Seward coalition utas, He goes for this slavery fusion, whatever the confusion which may follow it He is done with Castle Garden Union Saf Committees—hbe has volunteered for the wav, to serve under the leadership of Mr. Seward, tig wide, his allies of oli shades, aad his organs, avd io give no qnar theenemy.

How is it an “ineatt to the Union men of the Nortb,” when we find the most conspicuous among them the most prominent of its supporters? But, abewe all, how is the repeal of this Missouri iyterdict “ treacberous to the cause of the Uniev,” and a repudiation “by yhe Soath of their allegiance to the constitution?” If the Missoy,ri interdict was an unconstitetional act, its repeal was just and proper. The fact that the restriction 8 sectional compact, does not ‘make it constitu- tional, for amendments to tlre constitution are not made in that way. If t.¢ authority for this black line does not exist iv, the constitution, re- pealed or re-enacted it if; no longer good for anything, for henceforth it is a nullity. And where, in the fundamental law, is the authority for this lime of demarcation across the common territory of all the States, saying to the people of o”.e section of the Union, “Thus far shall ye ¢ o with your slave property, but no further?” “It is not to be found; it does not exist. Resper;ting the common domain of all the States im their united capacity, the com stitution says: ** The Congress shall have power to make all ne edfal rules and regulations re- specting the Verritory or other property ef the United Staves.’ This is a limited power, limited to ‘* needful rules and regulations” con- cezving thr; public “territory,” as the landed property ‘of the United States, and not extend- ing ta the Territories in a political sense. Theve'is no express grant of power or provision in the constitution upon this subject. The supreme jurisdiction over the local institutions of the Territories, is, however, very clearly embraced in that clause which provides that all powers uot expressly granted to the federal gevernment “are reserved tothe States and the people.” . Thus it appears that the Missouri arrange. ment was an extra constitutional act, a mere outside party compromise, an assumption of power by ongress which did not belong to it; that the thing, in fact, was a nullity trom the beginning, though respected by the South as a sectional compact, as long as the North were willing to adhere to it. But when the North crossed over this line, and seught to fasten the Wilmot proviso upon Texas and New Mexico—when they refused to carry the Missouri demarcation across Cali- fornia ; and still later, when they proposed to repeal the restriction altogether, the South said, “very well, gentlemen. We have always regarded this Missouri compromise as an uncon- stitutional affair, but we have thus far acquiesced for the suke of peace. We consent, and go with you for the repeal—we subscribe to your Cali- fornia doctrine of “popular sovereignty; and let that be the law.” We'contend, then, that this repeal of the Missouri black line was no “stain upon the South,” no “troachery to the Ucion,” and no desertion of any “allegiance to the coustita- tion.” We contend, whatever may bave been the hucketering motives and objects of Mr. Pierce and hie Cabinet in the act, that the Kaa- sas and Nebraska bill places those Territories upon the true constitutioual ground—that of the supreme jurisdiction of the people over their own Joeal and social institutions. We also venture the prediction that thie Missouri black line will never be restored—never? while the sun ehines--notwithstanding the enlistment of Mr. Webb with the Seward holy ellience for the war. He eays his wish is for a “union with the republican party in thie.coming contest,” ‘a union of all men snd of every shude of politic», ia order to vindicate the right’’—the restoration of this Missouri line. He believes, too, that the result cannot be otherwise than ‘ favorable alike to the best interests of every portion of the coun- try.”? We, too, believe that the uliimate result of ibis grand anti-slavery crussde—this most ex- traordinary fusion of factions and fag ends, iems and schisms, demagogues. fanatics, lana tics and philosophers, Union men and aboli- tionists, infidels, atheists and preachers of reli- gion, of men in petticoats and old women with beards, white, black and yellow——we, too, be- lieve that the final result will be good. We think that it will result in concentrating the common sense conrervative people, of all par- ties and all sections, againsé this heterogeneous and piebald combioation of disorganizers, and in the complete overthrow of their teaders and their schemes of discord and disunion.

The last rzail from Earope brings the news of the se' tin in once more ef the tide of bullion from Loncon to Puris and thy Continent. This, of course, ix due to the official announcement of the new French loan. It isto be of 750,000,000 france, or $150.000000, making altogether $250,000,000 raised by France siace the war began: and as on the occasion of the last loa‘a, the French government received applicat)ons for 1,7¢0,000,000 francs more than they pro. posed to iseue, it is expected that it will be taken up without delay. There cam be no doubt of it, indeed, for the Emperor mast have the money; though the terms are not likely to be as favorable as they would heve been in the Spring. This loan, added to the amounts heretofore raised and expended in the prosecution of the war, gives a total, as we said, of $250,000,000 spent by France in powder, ball and throat cutting. During the same period and for the same purpores England has raised, besides the usual annual supplies'for the army and navy, a sum of $130.000,000, in two loans of $50,000,000 and $80,000,000. We learn that these sums are already expended, the Baltic fleet having been especially asource of great expense, and that the advocates of an issue of Exchequer bills are becoming quite numerous in London. Turkey, having vainly attempted te borrow $25,000,000, obtained fifteen, and declared that for 'the present the other ten m'llions of dollars or two millions of pounds would be dispensed with, But she was not able to conceal her wants long. She is again‘in the market for a small loan of sometbing like-a million of dollars, which is probably needed to pay the civil expenses of the empire. As her allies generously guaran- tee the loan, it will probably be obtained and thus she will figare in the list for a total of $16,000,000. The war therefore bas put the Sultan and his Western friends to the following ‘rifling ex- pense :— British loans extraordinary $130,000, 000 French do. 2 y Turkish co. 6,000, TRAD sul Ce brs Sawak Sao oe +$396,000,000 What the Russian expenditure may have ‘been we have no means of knowing positively, That it must have been large is clear from the number of troops kept on foot, and of course fed and clothed at the expense of the Imperial government. It has been estimated by a well- informed and apparently an honest writer at $250,000,000 a year for extra military ex- penses occasioned by the war, and as much more for the wilful or necessary destruction of property. At this rate, the war must have cost Russia half as much again as the Allies, and $600,000,000 would not square the account. But large portion of this expenditure was in buildings, ebips, produce and merchandise, and though as serious in the losg run as the exoen- diture of hard cach, it wil! be longer in beiag felt. Probably three hundred millions of mon-y have paseed from the Imperial treasury into the hands of army ayents, contractors, pur- veyors and contractors on account of the army. Taking this figure as the basis of calculation, we amive at the conclusion that within less than twelve months, about seven hundred millions of dollars have been diverted from trade and sgriculture and expended by the belligerentsin the prosecution of the war. Some idea of the enormousness of this sam may be derived from a knowledge of the fact that the united incomes of the wkole people of Great Britain and Ire!and sre only sapposed to amount to five times as much. Jt is equal to three fourtbs the total debt of Austria, under which the House of Hapsburg has been totter- ing this many a year; more than haif the whole debt of France; twice the debt of Russia up to 1853; nearly four times the average assets of the Bank of England at the present day; and more than fourteea times as much as the whole national debt of the United States. Former wars never cost anything like it. The old wars with England were waged for what it has cost in this war to fit outa single expedition The Peninswar war under Wellisgton, aud the naval wars of Nelson, Coltingwoot, and Eng- land’s other beroes~-which swelled the debt of England to its present awful fgure—were econo- mical postimes compared with this.

A few weeks ago, in Sumter county, Ala poma a beautiful and interesting child of fif- teey, summers —the only daughter of most esti- wable parents, whese pet and hope she was— in returning to her father’s mansion froma neighbor’s, listening to the birds and echoing their music im her heart, gathering flowers, whose violet and pink she rivalled in her eye and eheek, was made the subject of a deed of ubutterable shame by @ negro slave, who had the selfish humauity to murder her after hay- ing, by hisown foul crime, rendered death a bieesing. That “hunffin devil” was taken, and, in face of open day, contrary to the law of the fand, was made to suffer an antepast of those fires to which the earthly flames consigned him. The press in general; being edited by men, was content to publish the'fact, without wound- ing the law by justifying, or human nature by denouncing, it. ‘Not so the New York Tribune The text was ope which it could not fail to im- prove, in its own peculiar way. The whole South, and her system of servitude, was can- vassed ard settled in an. editorial on the 11th ult., ending thus:— Here isa auto-de-fe by a lynch law crowd. If slavery be it, it is right lyach law and all. To sus- tain one is to sustain the other also. The buraers of this map are guilty of any enormous and incon. ceivable wickeduets. It is the institution we regard with horror, and not its tools and victims. A cotemporary, venturing a decent and pro- per remonstrance against such false and wicked logic, was rebuffed in an editorial commenciog thus:—“The Courier and Enquirer has enlist- ed under the banner of the Boohoos”—quite a mild specimen of the livery of Billingsgate, with which the Tribune invests its English on (Southern) State occasions, On the 18th inst. the Tribune published the thrilling account (already given in the Hera) of the lynching of Mayberry, in Wisconsin, on his way to the jail from the court house, where he had just been sentenced to imprisonment for life, on a convicticn of murder. To refresh the memory of our readers we re-produce an ex- trackgf the account, as published:— At thi8 hour we were sitting in our office, which is but ® short distance from and commands a view of the jail, and bad written mov: of the foregoing article. We were then startled by the cry of ‘‘Hang him! hang bim |’? when, on stepping to the window, we saw the officers and prisoner coming toward the jail, sur- rounded by the infuriated mod. A rush was msie for the jail, thedoor of which was barricaded at once by the crowd, and the approach of the officers cut off. Tae officers, though resisting the populace with all the ener- ay. they posserced, und protecting the prisoner to the utmost of their power, were borne down and ovecpowor- ed, The prisoner wae then almost alons; but he defend- ed bimeolf with superhuman strength He fought wth the utmost desperation, and possessing a most athlatic physical frome, for some ten yards tne crowd fell like chaff before him. A blow, however, with as bludgeon from behind, felled him to the ground, and he was pow- erless. A rope was then ptrsed round his neck and seized by the crowd, and a rach made dowa Court wtraet. The prisoner, though dragging in the dust, cangh’ ths rope with hia hands, and thus prevented strangulstion atocce, Arrived in fron: of our office, perate effort was again made by the officers and citizenr to ressue bim, The rope was cut three times by Mr. Orrin Gurn fey who +xbibited the mont determined bravery inbis behelf, but as often was ho thrust aside and the rope ra- adjusted. At this time a acens almost indescribable wae exhibit- ed; acrowd of between three and four thousand per- sons swayed to and fro. In, the centre was ths doomed prisoner, lying-on the grouna—above him stood friend: begging aud sivuggting for his life—while « far greater number were intent upon his death. This state of things lasted about ten minutes, aud as we looked from our window the hope predominated that the friends of law end order might yet prevail But it wag a vain . “Hang dim!’ rose louder than vefore, and a rush ith the prisoner was made to the cluster of trees on the pabke squere. the rope re-adjasted upon his avok, the otber end thrown over the hmb of a tree, and for the first time in our life the borrible epectacio of a hu- map mee hanging by the neck until he was dead met our view. Now, mutatis mutandis, apply the logic of the Tribune io this case, and the result is the following beautiful reasoning : “ Here ie a re- gular hanging by a lynch law crowd. If frae- soilism be right, it is right, lynch law and all To sustain the one, is to sustain the other;” or, if you choose, put freedom in place of free- soiliem, and the logic is equally conclusive. But the honesty and fairness of the Tribune stand in the same favorable light as its logic. If lynching were its abhorrence—had it been desirous of signatizing such abhorrence, irre- spective of the latitude of the crime--surely never better occasion offered ; one, too, where rebuke to some of its own readers, who were portunity aot enjoyed in the other case. More- over, the Wisconsia lynching was peculiarly flagrant, for the murder was not an extracrdinirg one ; and then the prisoner had actually beea convicted and bis due measure ef pupishment awarded by the proper dispenser of justice, if Mayberry had only been a negro aod bis lynebing in the Soatb, the Zyijune suvely would have had something by way of note or comment to urge before its beloved brethren on ite en‘ire sevmo- zt f the iyaching of 9 Tribune wader the vo Janesville Siandard deteile , mentor |.

St Arnaud to the members of his family, efter be had taken the command of the army in the East, They are very French, but, considering the circumstances and the fate of the man, are affecting and mournful. His trials were indeed severe. Pestitence, inaction, fire, bodily ill health, and mental fever must have rendered the encampment at Varna a place fit for the damned. How the sensitive Fronchman writhed under the agony of his multiplied sor- rows, these letters bear testimony. ‘(Have there been,” says he in his despair, “many situations like mine in history?” To add to all, theslow- nees and the want of military skill evinced by his allies, the English, threatened to paralyze all his movements. “The English,” he writes keenly, ‘make me lose precious time.” He would have landed at the mouth of the Katcha that is to say ten or twelve miles soath of the Alma, and would have thus escaped the brush at that stream; but Raglan was timid, and in- sisted on selecting the Old Fort as the place of disembarkation. After the landing, the Eng lish lost so much time in making ready for the march that the impetuous Frenchman wrote to Lord Raglan to say that he “could wait no lon- ger—he would issue his order of departure for seven o'clock next morning—and nothing should stop him longer.’ The tardy disclosure of these smothered quarrels between the allied leaders are, strange to say, cotem- poraneous with a letter from Sir De Lacy Evans to the Indépendance Belge, in which he insinuates plainly that Lord Rag- lan’s time was mainly absorbed in futile dis- putes with the French Gencrals. The public surmise, it seems, was not far wrong. And it may well be questioned whether the new chiefs, Generals Simpson aud Pelissier, who are both hotheaded men, will conceal their antagonism from the public as long and as skilfully a3 their predecessors. Poor Marshal Saint Arnaud had two réves— one was glory, the other peace and retirement with his family. The lattter was always pre- sent to his thoughts. “I only think,” he writes to his wife, “of the moment when we shall be very quiet at home. In the spring we will take a trip to Italy and we will retura by Swit- zerland and Germany. We will travel with only tworervants, and like plain folks.” Glory came uppermost at times; but he was so con- scious of his unpopularity that he repressed the swelling aspiration. Only after Alma he says: “The change [in public opinion about himself] has been rapid; it began on the 14th, broke out into acclamations on the evening of the 20th, and to-day I am a great man.” Alas for his hopes! Seven days afterwards the great man wae & corpse! Harveap Couufite Acatw.—Old Harvard is fairly earning the reputation of beiag an abo- lition college. The only subject conscieatiously taught there appears to be treason. The autho- rities would not confirm Judge Loring, though he was apparently the best man for the law chair, because he would not perjure himself; nor would they graut degree to Mr. Eliot, because he bad voted for the compromise mea- sures. According to the code of morals in force ai Harvard, no Southern man deserves collegiate honors. Nay more, no Northern man can attain the highest rank in learning, letters or ecience, unless he agree with the Harvard people in politics, Thus, Daniel Web- ster woald not have been deemed fit for ho- nors, nor either of the Adamses, nor John Han- cock, nor eny of the revolationary heroes of New England. The only men, according to the authorities of Harvard, who deserve to be de- corated with collegiate degrees, are Theodore Parker, William Lloyd Garrison, Gerrit Smith, Freé Dong'ass, aud a few others of that school. To such a depth bas sunk the oldest collegiate institution in the United States!
