Tne News. Our correspondence from the Evropean capitals, and from the Crim: of which we publish a large batch elsewhere, will be foand more than usually ia- teresting. With regard to the Paris Conferences the general impression that it leaves is, that uo ob- stacles will be raised by Russia to the conciasion of peace—provided that the demands of the a'lies are not pushed beyond reasonable limits. There seems to be an earnest desire on all hands to put an end to the horrors of war. The public mind in England appears, however, to be excited vy 2 feverish appre- hension that there exists on the part of the French Emperor 2 disposition to consult his own personal iaterests, in the arrangements about t: be entered into, rather than those of the alliance generally. This is scarcely just towards Louis Napoleon, seeing the sincerity and good faith that he has hitherto ex- hibited in his conduct towards England. But in this respect, as in their language towards this country, the English journals betray a lamentable want cretion. Were the temper of the Sritish people to be estimated by the tone of their newspapers, hey would be regarded a3 the most flighty and querulous of nations. A letter from one of our Berlin correspondents developes some new and nteresting views on the present condition aud pros- pects of the Tarkish empire, and suggests a plin fr its regeneration, whic wonld render it indepen- é-nt of the treacherous and interested sy:npathies | of ite protessing friends, Tt is written by an intel ligent American, who speaks fro his own personal observation, and whose political antecedents are ultra-democratic. Ina commanication from on ® r Crimean correspondents will bs found the pa ¢ lars of a persona! affray between one of the surgeons of the American medical staff attached to t sion army, since dead, and a German Doctor in the Cvar's service. From the statement of our corre pondent it would appear that our unfortunate coun- tryman was treated for his share in this affsir with unnecessary harshness and cruelty by Connt Adlers berg, the Governor of the Tauride, an official who: conduct in other matters, as well as this, has dered him exceedingly unpopular with the and a marked exception to Rassian military me geverally. Our correspondent says that no ¢ that he has met with exhibit a higher sense of respect, more upright or generous feeling, or more courtesy in their relations with others By the bark Clara Windsor, which left 1 Prince, Hayti, on the 25th of February, we hav advices to that date. The yeilow fever p: to o fearful extent among the shipping in / of he Ra 4s peror returned on the ifth. The 15th, be anniversary of his nirth, was duly celebrated by the firing of guns, display of colors by the shipping in the harbor, &c. The Haytiens suffered ¢ by their invasion of Dominica, not only in loss of life but in property. The military hospital at the Cape is stated to be filled with the wounded, many of whom still remain on the ground where the last battle wos fought, it being impossible to remove them. The Emperor ascribes his defeat to treason, end has issued a proclamation, in which he de- nounces the traitors, Business was in a most wretthed condition. Piom Venezuela, under date of February 10, we learn that a Dutch fleet is at Laguayra. The Dutch merchants at Coro had their houses sacked and persons maltreated by the popnlace of that placea short time ago, and the Duteh government has demanded inderonification for the outrages per- petrated on the occasion, It was thought the affair. would be terminated amicably. * The President recommends, in his measage to Congress, the pro- priety of entering into a federal union with New Granada and Ecuador, which was proposed some time ince by the former State. A circle of epiritnal- sts had been formed in Caracas, which was pro greasing rapidly. The cholera still prevailed in tic interior, and was making frightful ravages. The weather yesterday was extremely cold, with strong indications of another snow storm. Thy telegraph informs us that snow fell at Washington and Philadelphia during the evening. Several arrests for attempting to pass counter- feit bills on the Bridgeport Bank, of the denomina- tion of five dollars, were made on Saturday and yes terday, and the parties committed for examination. The counterfeit is quite new, and from ite general eppearance weil calculated to deceive the unwary. The value of foreign goods imported into Boston duiing fhe week ending Saturday, March &, was «56 446. On Satwtay, the sales of cotton, including lots in transite, were made to a fair extent, and embraced about 1,200 01,500 bales, based upon midding op- lands at about 10e. a 10jc. The market for flour wos slack, and the sales moderate, without change of moment in prices. Canadian white wheat sold at $1 80 a $2, and small lots Tennessee red at #1 70, Corn sold pretty freely, and a considerable lot of Southern white sold at 67e. Rye sold at $1 114, Pork was dull, with sales of mess at $15 75 a$15 87}. «ther provisions were without change of moment, Owing to the limited pumber of ships in porte, less will receive froma peace, that source of im- wigration will soon cvase te pour its thousands Go our shores, Statistics afford the only rational means of testing these questions, From the last report of the Commissioners of Emigration we take the fullowicg table, showing the arrivals of alien passengers at the poct of New York dar- i # past nize years: — From thie table it appears that th of immigrants has aot yet fallso as low aa it stood in 1847. Nor, so far a3 the figures are concerned, have we, as any solid reasoa for supposing that it will fall far balow that point The arrivals in January and Peornary are fewer than duriag any two other alwa mootbe in the year, as is seea from the follow ing table:— Jan. and Feb, Whole year. 189.176 220.791 ‘ ms + ove ol 3,608 In addition to this, it mast be doraa in miad that the weather has been uausuatly severe since the beginning of the year, and that there never, perbaps, were 80 many vaszels overdue atsea. At the German ports, too, we hear that a large oumber of emigrants are waitiag for ships to ferry m across the ocean, Io freland, the !arge draughts of men that have been made fur the army, and the readiness which the Irish have showo to enlist, have natura'ly operated to diminish the supply of emigrants. All these causes, it wilt be noticed, are temporary in character; they afford no reason for supposing thet ont import of emi- rants will be permanently diminished, or that ovr supply this year wili fall short of the original estimate of 125,000. ring to the British proviaces we meet with the following comparison Anmigration to 1 ss¢eisa 200 OD 2 The proportion is the same, or nearly so; thus disproving the foolish story whish went the round of the papers, some time since, te ihe effect that the political do>trines of the Know Nothings were frigbteuing a ray German & Jrish Catholics. The Canadian govern- nt baa heen lately very active in endeavor- ing to further immigration. It is understood that they bave bired lecturers to travel through | Europe, and @escant upon the merits of Ca- nade; they bave also published and distributed throughout Ireland and Germavy several thonsand copies of prize essays in which Ca- nada is shown to be the most desirable plaze in the world to live in, ana the United States avery second rate sort of concern. All this fair enough; and we hope the Canadians will ed in peopling that great farm of theirs, ss to send us over somethiag else besides pine logs and a few boat loads ot flour. We have no fear that immigration will cease. So long as Europe is governed as it is—so long as the Germans are liable to the con- scription, and every tenth or twentisth man, as the case may he, is obliged to serve so many years in defence of a government which he bates— eo long as the Irish nurse their imn-- morial feud against Great Britain—so long as every Englishman is liable to pay one-tenth of his income to support the dignity of a royal govcroment, and the luxury of royal wars— and eo long, on the other hand, as this country offers land, freedom, political rights, and au adequate reward for Jabor to every ope who chooses to seitle here—tbere need be no tuar that immigration will cease. Centra Park IMprovemENt.—Our descend- ants for all time to come will thank their an- cestors for having secured to (bem perhaps the most magnificent Park in the world. They, ther than ourselves, are to have the advan tage of this splendid reservation. On the city, in after time, when every portion of the island is filled up with productive buildings and luxn. jous mansions, should fall the expense of ren- g the Central Park what it is intended to be—a place of resort for all classes, where the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the feeble and the strong can alike see the clear light of heaven, and enjoy the fragrance of flowers and all the beauties of oraamented na- ture, remote from the cells of treasured wealth or the oppressive toil shops of honorable Pebor. ‘fo accomplish this work without adding to the burdens of taxation, let the city authorities be empowered by aot of the present Legislature to create a Park improvement debt, say to tho amount of six haodred thousand dollars, for the purpose of immediately sewertng the Park and laying out carriage pathways through its whole extent for popular use. Let this debt be payable one hundred years hence, if you will, and its avails be immediately employed on the work. The great feature of modern civilization in regard to communities and pub. | lic improvements is the power of credit. We know of hardly any use to which this element of progress can better be applied than in the eorly accomplishment of the purposes we havo indicated. Where is the Alderman, ambliious of an honorable name, the Councilman or mem- ber of the Legislature, who will take the initi ative in effecting thie pressing, patriotic and eminently desirable work?

WS Mr. Wise, a3 a letter writer, improves wit each succeeding experiment, and his best spe- cimens are those which he rattles off in the miggest hurry. For instance, his above de. scription of the African, brief as it is, covers tbe whole cave, and is only excelled by h‘e Jormer graphic historical parallel between bard ana soft shell crabs, peelers und busters, and the various divisions of our New York de mocracy. Should Mr. Wise, therefore, receive the democratic nomination, we may expect a ties of letters which will throw into the shade the very best efforts of General Taylor, and the raciest of the racy campaiga speeches of General Scott. Let not this consideration be lost sight of at Cincinnati. Mr FittMore axp Tee Heny Praces.—It is reported that Mr. Fillmore, having carefully visited all the holy places of Italy, having en- joyed himeelf amovug the Jesuits at Rome, and having been “made a lion of” by the Holy Father himself, was, at the last accounts, packing his trunks for a pilgrimage to tne most holy places in aud around about the holy city of Jerusalem. After having wor- sbrpped on the hill of Calvary, and meditated among the tombs in the valley of Jehosaphat, aud vieited Jacob’s well, the ancient little city of Bethicham, Jericho, the ‘ords of Jordan ard the Dead Sea, it is further reported that the Ex-President will retura via Se bastopol and Constantinople. It is possi- ble, therefore, that we may not hear whether Mr. Fillmore has or has not accepted the Philodelphia American nomination for two or three months yet to come; aad it is also pos- sible that after having completed the grand circuit ot bis Oriental pilgrimage, he may be found so far estranged from the silver gray whigs and the Know Nothings, and their chances for the Presidency, as to resign the honors they would confer upon him ia disgust We think the manifest policy cf his partizans isto “head him off,” if possible, before he gets to Jerusalem. What saya Mr. Botta? A Niw Liquor Law bas been introduced into the Legislature of Maine, making several concessions heretofore refused in the liquor legislation of raid State. Among these con- cessions tavern keepers, under certain restric tions, are allowed to dispense strong drinks to travellers from otber localities; and wines and imported Jiquors and cider are allowed cer- tain extraordinary privileges. The experience of the State ot New York with our law upou the old Maine Jaw platform, sails loudly for reform st Albany. If for nothing else, the consideration of preserving the public respect for the laws in general by the abolition of the odious features of our existing liquor law, which are universaliy and contemptuously disregarded—if for nothing elee, we say, this covelderation should have a decisive weight with our Solons at Albany in the repeal of this bantling of Gov. Clark. Practically it is a | ublity; but, for the sake of appearances, it ought to be formally abolished, or modified to something within the bounds of reason Will our Senator, Mr. Sickles, be good enough to try the sense of the Senate upon the sub- ject ? | New Fearcre iw a Resscrovs Newsraren— | One of the resigious newspapers of this city has commenced the publication of a weckly | “ black list,” the names of merchants, planters, speculators and manufacturers who fail in businese. Some of the particulars of the operation of the unfortunate individuals are given in a jocose and exultant tone, which reads curiously enough in a religious journal.

Poliee Intelligence, WHOLESALE ARREST OF ALLEGED COUNTERFEITERS —THEIR OPERATIONS ON SATURDAY NIGHT. Within the pact few days, anc especially on Friday and Saturday nighta last, 9 number of counterfeit fives on the Bridgeport Bank of Brijgeport, Conn., were put into creulaiion by an organized band ot counterfei‘era, and cumerous persons were defrauded out of property to the extent of several hundred dollars. On Satardey cvenirg a man, named William 8. Blauvelt, accompanied by a yourg and handsome female, named Emma L. Jobr- son, went {ato the dry goods store of S. & E. W. Corwin, at No. 307 Sixth avenue, ard purchased some valuables. amounting to $3 873;, for which they offered in paym a ‘five’ on the above bark, and received in cha. B $1 1234. Befcre they had preceeded far the proprietors ¢ the sto:e ciscovered that they had beea imposed upon, a8 the bill was a counte feit. Officers O'Neil, Roche and Fisher, of the Sixtsenth ward police, were informed of the occurrence, and instant pursuit was given the parties, resulting in their ¢ § rest. While the cfticers were on their way to t@ station house and whenat the corner of Twenty-fourth atreet and Sixth avenue, Blauvelt madea feigned atvemot te escape, and in the confusion threw a roll of bills aws § The act was not unnoticed by the ofticers, who recover § the package, and on inspecting it found it to contain six of these counterfeite, which it was the prisonec’s inten- tion to bide and thus efface any evidence of his guilt. ‘The piieorers, a'eng with a man named Javid Ackerman were then conveyed in safety to the Sixteenth ward st. ‘ion house, where they were locked up for the remaiader oft’ pight. Yesterday morning they were brought before Justice Flandreau, at the Second Distriet Police Court, where they were con mf:ted for examination. On the same dey, two women, nained Margarot Corco- ran and Juiia O’Shavghzessy, were taken into cus- tedy by officer Quinn, of the Sixth ward police, on charge of buving offered one of these counterfeite m payment for gooca purchased at a dry goods store. The sccuced were brought before vus- tice Connolly, at the Lower Police Court, wue-e they ‘were ecmmitted fer examination, Any verson who has had counterfeits cm the above mentioned bank passed upon them are requested to eal! uoon Justice Conuoily, and give such information us will lead to the convi:tion ot the guilty parties. On the same evening, Patrick Cochran, by oscupation a street sweeper, and Ilvirg in Mott_strect, was taken ints custody by oflicer O'Hare, of the Fourteenth ward palfca, on charge o! having given his daughter, Catharine, a child eleven years of age, ove of these coonterfeits with the intenticn of cheating Ferdinand Cinch, ot Centre mar- ket. The compluinant states that Cathatine offere’ him the eounterfel! “five” in payment for three shi, worth of veretables purchased at his stand; that pecting the bill was nct genuine, he questioned her 1 te- gard to the master, wheu she became confused and tox 0 many contradictory sto.ier, that Mr. Clinch felt com- peed to put her in charge of aneficer. The puliceman on questioning her as to her glace of residence, had a great ceal of difiieulty in getting trom her the number o! b twther’s house. Cvctiae, on being arrested, denied having given the bill to his daughter with a felontous in- tent, and said be was entirely tinaware ot its being eo terfeit, In his possession were found about $590 in go! coin and silver, but no bad bills were discovered.

Last week we were singing paans to spring, and indulging in the pleasing delusion that{old Winter had taken his departure for go-d, and wouid trouble us n0 more with his icy breath and hard, cold, unkindly presence; but we were sadly mistakea, for on Saturday night a cold wind fell upon the city, and the thermometer run down to eighteen degrees, and remaia- edat that figure all day yesterday. It was a cold, raw, bitter day—just the one to make a man feel and do un- plearant and uncomfortable things. Supposing, with the poet, that epring was indeed “etherealjmildness,” aod ‘bad really ‘:come”? en permanence, our people had thrown off coate, shawls, furs, beaclothes, and all unnecessary clo:hirg, and some few had began to sport lighter garments more in consonance with the milder season, but the weatber of yesterday chilled all the latter out of sight, aud heavier coats, more cumbrous capes and heaviar furs than ever replaced tnem. The very trees and grasa im the parks and public squares, which for the Jast few days huve given evidence of tue approach of the season ot verdure, the former putiing forth new twigs, and elon gating the old ones, and the latter assuming a brighter hue, yesterday ooxed limp and frozen, and shrivelled, us if the new'y awake: ed life bad become torpid and dead again.

Sir, it is tor this we thank you. To say it is for this we respect you would be cold and inadequate to express our fee'irga; but when we Jook at the influence you exercise upen tke youthful mind of this country, we feel we ought to effer you che homage of our gratefal hearts.

Yet I must confes: thet in this narrow cncie i ‘ee: a still greater diffidencs; greater than I then excerienced, Pe: mit me to say I regard the address which you have been pleased to make ai une of the mest welccine of the numerous asta of kiadness that bave been iendered to me. 1: is the common lot of pub- Mic men to be followed by some degree of detraction and abure, which occasionally follows them to thei: retire- ment; but it is not common for a private citizen, suck us I wish to be regarded, to receive these dis'inguished merks of kindness and gvod will, That almost unex- ampled multituce who honored me last Monday, not only = eir presence, but by ihe rapt attention with which they heard me; the notice the: hus Deen so kiadly taken ct me by the Mayor, ard by thousands of citizens who were good enBugh to psy me their 1especte—all this to a private citizen, wearied of the labors of pubiic life, is more than I expected or could expect to receive. But of sli she marks of kinaness which 1} have received, here leistwe ray, with the ut- most sincerity, there is tone which has touched me more than this recepticn. The applause ot mul:i- vudes must always be gretifying to the earof a public speaker; it wovld be vain to ceny it; but the a:surances cf kindness like that you have been pleased to make to me at this time could come from nothing @ favoranle »p- preciation of my privete character and those qualities which sre fer more important to the man aud to the father then anythirg trat belongs to public life. But I know that tnere kind attentions are not whoily paid to me, but because of the duty upou which! am eugeged here and elewhere to the precious memory of tae Father of his Country, Itia mot to me but to him you wish at this time to do honor, and you qill allow me to say that among the signs cf the tim+s that have oscasionally in- tb me with anxie'y, 1 have been encouraged and cheered by finding that there is yet left one thing that brings fo a hearty response from every true American heart, and that is the name ard memory of Washingon.
