By the arrival of the Cambria at Halifax we have ‘three days Igter intelligence from Europe. . The diffi- eulties which had retarded ‘the conclusion of the tweaty of peace ‘were stated to be on the point of weing settled, and it was confidently anticipated that the plenipotentiaries would affix their signa- tares to it on the 29th—the day on which the Cambria sailed. From the tenor of these advices it would appear that one of the eauses of the delay was the persistency with which Prussia maintained ber claim to sign the treaty on equal terms with the other Powers. Lord Clarendon is mated to have resisted her pretensions, and after a good deal of discussion it was decided that two protocols should be drawn up—the allies to sign one separately, and then to affix their signatures to the second conjointly with Prus- sia. The committee, composed of the second pleni- potentiaries, were busily engaged in preparing both protocols, and the only delay anticipated was in the proper framing of those instruments. The difficul- ties raised by Turkey seem to have been disposed of sammarily, as no mention is made of them in these advices. It would be a curious commentary on the value of the principles involved in the Russian war if the most precious interests cf the Porte were made subordinate in importance to the consideration of a point of diplomatic etiquette started by Prus- sia, which has carefully avoided compromising her. self in the struggle. From what has leaked out of the character of the treaty, it is certain that its conditions will not prove very acceptable to the English people. The London Times has a grumbling editorial upon the subject. There is very little other news of interest. In the Crimea and the Baltic matters remain in statu quo. ‘There has been no formal prolongation of the armis- ‘tice, but orders have been telegraphed to the com- manders of the allied forces not to renew hostilities without express instructions. Omer Pasha is at Constantinople enforcing his claims to redress. He threatens to resign unless he receives satisfaction Sor his grievances. Consols are quoted at 92) a 924, with a tight money market. The cotton market was quiet, with variation in prices. Breadstuffs had experienced a general decline, but provisions remained without change. The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 2,000 bales, while the market closed quite firm. For middling uplands as high as llc. was demanded. Owing to heavy receipts, and the accounts receive from abroad, the market for flour became depressed and unsettled; common brands of State sold as low as $6 a $6 124, while all grades were inactive. Wheat was quiet; a small lot prime Southern white sold at #197. Sound corm sold at 62c. a 65¢., the latter figure being the outside price. The market closed heavy. Pork took a start, and mess sold at $16 62) a $16 75, which was an advance. Sugars were ac- tive, with sales of about 1,200 hhds., at rates given in another column. Coffee was dull, with light sales, on account of approaching auction sales of Rio. Freights were heavy and engagements light. To Liverpool compressed cotton was engaged at ‘d., and grain in bulk at .a 5d., and some bacon to London at 25s. ‘Phere has been a fall in the price of flour in this market of fall fifty cente since the commence- ment of last week, caused to some extent by the depression of the market in Europe, and the open- ing of the. navigation of the Hudson river.

In Demarara order was restored, after the jails had been filled with the “Gabriel” rioters, and $200,000 worth of property destroyed. From Grand Tork, Turks Isiands, we learn that up to February 28, 10,000 bushels of salt had been raked, and that the entire ponds of the colony had not been in a better condition, at that early period of the salt season, for a series of years past. In the United States Senate yesterday Mr. Harlan introduced a petition of Gen. Lane, relative to the memorial of the members of the free State Legisla qure of Kansas which was so unceremoniously kicked out of the Senate last week. The real busi- ness of the country was postponed, and a lively dis- cnasion of the Kansas issue and political questions generally ensued. Finally the motion to receive the petition was laid on the table by a vote of twenty- nine to twelve. Inthe House, leave to submit re- solutions closing the session on the Fourth of July, and directing inquiry as to the propriety of pro- hibiting polygamy in any of the Territories, was re- fased. The last mentioned proposition, aimed at the peculiar practices of the inhabitants of Utah, was received with much merriment. The Defi- ciency Appropriation bill waa then considered until the adjournment. Both branches of the Common Council were in session last evening. See our reports of the pro- ceedings elsewhere. The second trial of Louis Baker, for the murder of William Poole, was commenced yesterday in the Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Strong, but at the rising of the Court only five jurors had been empan- nelled. This circumstance is an almost unexampled instance of the influence of newspapers in giving a tone to the public mind. Out of a panel of five hundred jurors, nearly two hundred and fifty were excused for various causes of incompetence. Out of one hundred and six who answered to their names, ninety-five per cent had formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused, and were of course disqualified. Several jurors said they had formed an impression upon the first statement of the transaction, but that since reading the report of the proceedings of the last trial that impression was changed. A desperate attempt at murder was made yester- day afternoon, about 2 o'clock, at No. 27 Monroe street. A man named Webber attempted to take the life of a woman named Catharine Haltmeyer, with whom he had been living as man and wife for nearly two years past, by stabbing her in the head and neek. Jealousy is the cause assigned for the act. The Iffe of the wounded woman is despaired of. For full particulars see our reporter's account in another column. The Foreign News. The Cambria did get into Halifax at last, yes- terday morning, with news to 29th ult.—three days later than the Washington’s. The chief point of the news--which will be found else- -where—consists in the removal of the difficul- ties which were reported by the Washington as impeding the conclusion of a treaty of peace. These difficulties undoubtedly arose from Turkey. They referred to the internal re- forms in the situation of Tarkey, which are demanded by the Allies, and, indeed, the whole enlightened sentiment of Europe. It is proposed, for instance, finally and forever to abolish the injurious distinctions existing and recognized by courts of law in Turkey between Christians and Mussulmans; to place the civil government of the Principalities on a footing that will be likely to ensure to the people an opportunity of developing the re- markable advantages and resources of their country; to put an end to the more scandalous of the corruptions which pervade the adminis- tration of justice and every other public de- partment in Turkey, and generally to ena- ble Turkey—which docs not appear capa- ble of effecting the work for herself—to enter the family of European Powers on an equal footing. The government of the Porte, when called upon to make these concessions to the civilization of its neighbors, invariably con- sents without a murmur; a firman issues of the strongest and most authoritative kind; but after a few weeks the firman is forgotten by half the Pachas in the empire, and the work is to be done over again. For instance, four or five years ago a firman distinctly declared that the “information” of Christians (the Sultan did not dare to go so far as to say “the oath,”) should be taken in courts of justice ; yet half a dozen travellers tell us, even since the war broke out, that no Armenian Christian in the Asiatic Pashaliks is listened to for a moment by Pasha or court. To prevent this, the European Powers as- sembled st Paris now, propose to incorporate the reforms projected in Turkey in the treaty. The consequence of this would be, that each Power signing the treaty would acquire a sort of right to see that the reforms were carried out, and something more than a privilege of remonstrance in case they were forgotten. In Hindostan the East India Company has usual- ly followed the same plan. After a war with a native chief it makes peace with him, and makes him stipulate in the treaty that he will govern his subjects well and humanely ; then, as none of these princes are capable of doing anything of the kind. the company, when it chooses, annexes his territories when the pro- per time comes. This is, in brief, the story of the annexation of Oude. Turkey, it seems, is too wide awake to agree to so dangerous a bargain without a strugg's. The Sultan did not wish to include in the treaty stipulations relative to the internal government of his dominions. But what can he do, poor man? He has no choice left ; and it is not at all surprising that the Cambria should have brought intelligence that the difficulties were settled, or, in other words, that the Allies had bullied the Sultan, and that he had yielded. No true friend of the Turks or of humanity can regret that these precautions have been taken for the reform 0° that unhappy nation. At the same time, one cannot close one’s eyes to the fact that the Allies are now doing at Paris that which they went to war to prevent Russia from attempting. A Goon Tatnc.—Mr. Pelton, of New York, of the Committee of Commerce of the House of Represeatatives at Washington, has pre- sented a report to that body, accompanied by a bill entitled “A bill to authorize the Presi- dent of the United States to cause to be pro- cured, by purchase or otherwise, a suitable steamer, to be stationed at the port of New York as a revenue cutter, and for the purpose of affording relief to distressed vessels, their passengers and crews.” Let the bill pase. J§ is a little thing, in view of the prodigious out- going and incoming commerce of New York: and considering the yearly sacrifice of num n lile from vessels stranded slong our treacher- ous coast, and considering the revenues which the government derives from our Custom House, aud considering the heavy and accu- mulating surplus of the treasury, it is a little thing, this bill for a solitary steam reveau : cutter for the line of duty indicated; but it is something. It is a beginning towards some comprehensive and liberal pian for the se- curity of life and property along our whole Atlantic seaboard, and especially in front of the breakers of Long Island and the Jersey sbore; and as a beginning, we would urge the member charged with the bill to see that it is not suffocated among the unfinished business of this session. CuseriG News rrom ALBANY.—That the Go- vernor is inflexible—that his mind is made up—that he is firm #@ a rock, an adamantine rock, and that thus is he fixed and immovable in hie resolution that no sort or combination of influences at Albany shall or can persuade him or browbeat bim into the call of an extra session. This is the very latest bulletin. Our correspondent will please keep an eye upon the Governor, and telegraph instantly any va- riation in his pulse. Keep him firm till May day, and we are probably safe, Caxapian Ramwars.—Some time since, it will be remembered that great enterprises were set on foot by Britiah capitalists to build railways in the British provinces, Large amounts of money were subscribed in England, and the several American provinces took an interest in the roads equal to half their cost. Nine millions sterling was the figure which Canada’s share of the road was to cost—seve- ral minor sections having been already con- structed—and the whole line, which was warm- ly commended as a military work that would be of great use to the British in the event of a war with this country, was to extend from Windsor on the Detroit river to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Three or four years have elapsed since these arrangements were made, and portions of the road have been built and run at an ave- rage rate of a cent a mile for passengers. Last year, the company became embarrassed, and applied to the colonial government for aid; it obtained with very little difficulty $3,600,000. It appears now that this relief has been in- sufficient. The directors of the company have written a letter to the colonial governments informing them that the enterprise would be abandoned unless the colonial governments agreed to guarantee a dividend of five per cent on the stock. This uncommonly cool proposal appears to have been rejected by New Brunswick, whose government has simply taken posession of the portion of the line constructed- Canada does not seem to have: answered yet. If its affairs are rightly managed, it is to be presumed that it will weigh the oase very ma- turely before acceding to any such proposition as that of these English capitaliste. To gua- rantee five per cent on a railroad stuck would atonce destroy the credit of the Province. Every one who knows anything about railroads can tell that a Canadian railroad however well managed, cannot, if it be of any length, earn five per cent dividend for six years consecu- tively. The effect of the guarantee would, therefore, be to take more money out of the Provincial exchequer to give it to the English company; and no one would trust a State whore affairs were managed so recklessly as this. On the whole it appears that the Canadians have got bitten by their English friends What is best for them to do now, it were hard to say; to discuss the assets of the company and the contractors, and meanwhile to take the road, would appear safe and judicious: if this be done, and a resolution taken to be less generous to “great foreign capitalists” in fu- ture, perhaps the Province will not be such a loser after all. A Smart, Favor Very Grarervtty Re- CEIVED.—The Wall street double-barrelled or- gan of the Philadelphia American ticket says that the “allusions” of Governor Hunt (in his “straight whig’” sp2ech last Saturday night) to Millard Fillmore ‘were received with the loudest applause, and found a hearty response among the great body of the hearers.” Now, what “allusions” did the ex-Governor make to the ex-President. At first we had overlooked them in our cursory examination of the Go vernor’s reported speech; but upon a closer inspection we find he did allude to Mr. Fill- more, and said, (incidentally, by the way,) in speaking of Mr. Clay’s compromise scheme of 1850, that the bills having passed, Mr. Fillmore, then President, had no other alternative but to sign them, General Taylor and Mr. Fillmore having been “elected upon the distinct pledge that the question of slavery, and all things ap- pertaining to it, should be left to the Congress of the United States.” This is the only “ allusion” to the ex-President throughout the ex-Governor’s lengthy speech; and it is an apology for Mr. Fillmore’s approval of the Fugitive Slave law--an apology, not to the Know Nothings, but to the “straight” and “live” Henry Clay whigs. How Mr. Hunt and these “ straight whigs’’ intend to act in the Pre- sidential election, and who they intend to vote for, we are very pointedly given to understand must still be considered an open question. Perhaps the Governor and the “straight whigs” are waiting for Mr. Fillmore’s acceptance of the American nom ination—perhaps. Gone Crean Over.—The New York Evening Post, after a deal of sighing and groaning, a. crying and moaning, seems to have deserted the democratic family and gone over, “bag and baggage, scrip and scrippage,” to the company of Preston King, F. P. Blair, John M. Niles and other old Jacksonian trumpeters and office holders, to the Seward Holy Alliance. In thir last issue the poets of the Post give a cool and seasonable chapter of brotherly advice to the Philadelphia Niccer Worsuirrers’ June Convention, and in reference to the sort of nomination they ought to make. The gist of this advice is, that unless the said Convention nominate the right sort of man they will be beaten; but with the right sort of man they may possibly do something. Cold comfort, this, from these newly initiated brethren of the Post. “Live Oak Grorce Law.”’—It is reported that “Live Oak George” the other day held confidential consultation with some of his leading supporters at Albany. What was done has not ceme to light. We rhall probably hear of the result at the Convention of the Philadelphia seceders, which is to be held in this city on the 12th of June. Nothing but very important business would take George Law up to Albany so very early in the season Rely upon that. Sovru Carouina Comtxe to a Dectston,—-It appears now, that instead of sending General Commander or General Quattlebum to Cin- cinnati to represent South Carolina there, the eolid and independent democracy of that State shall nominate General Pierce for re- election, by the more harmonious process of a State Convention. We accept the compromise. Let it be a State Convention.

Mr. Dovctas (dem. ) of LiJ,, desired Mr. Harlan to finish his remarks, as he intended to reply. dar. WxLLR, (dem.) of Cal, desired to know when the Pacific Raliroad bill would come up. Three weeks ago it was made the special crder for todsy. If it should be laid over until to-morrow it would interfere with ar. Clay, who has the floor on the Kansas question. Mr. Dovcias urged that this subject ought to be dis- pened of without delay; and on his motion the spscial order was postponed.

If his explanation should be deemed satisfactory, then the Senate could decide upon granting his prayer and receiving the memo- rial which had been rejected. Mr. Wisox, (nigger worshipper), of Mass., said Mr. Dovglas had indulged in partisan catchwords, unworthy of the Senate. The term ‘‘ black republican” had been applied to the friends of freedom; but, between this and that of “ border ruflian democrat,’ the republicans were ready to take iesue before the country.

The soil of Cape Cod, continued Mr. Smith, is hard to ride over, end difficult to cultivate, but it has produced something more than grain or corn. It haa produced men: sterling, honest, talented men, of whom he (the 4 it) was proud, and #0 he supposed wore all in the room. {t was the habit to make the most stupid boy a clergyman; the most 4 witted one a lawyer; the one who had « talent tor sway ig jackknives « merchant; while the lad who was famous for bis wildness, whe would not stay atill on Sundays, and layedj his youthful idiosyneracies b; sticking pins in his teacher’s seat, was sent to sea, anc fine mariners they became, helping to weld together this disunited world, divided as {t is by huge ceeans and seas, Mr. Smith pald a glowing tribute te Mr. E, kK.
