The conteam of the furopean <dition of the Anim @B embrace + news resolved by Wail and telegraph at the office Gcricg the previous week, and to the bouro pablicy Lor. The News Importefit peace news was received yesterday from Niesragua. The steamship Orizaba arrived at this port fast evening from San Juan del Norte, having on board four lundred passengers from Cali fornia, wko were brought down on the Pacific side by the Sierra Nevada, which left San Francisco on the 5th ult. Our files of newspa from Nicaragua are up to the 17th of May inclusive, and contain very interest- ing news from that republic. Our letters are to the 22d. The war with Costa Rica was at an end, and the remnant of the Costa Rican army had evacuated Nicaragua and gone home, dispirited and in a sick and enfeebled condition. On the 26th of April, six hours after the rear guara of Gene al Mora’s army marched out of Virgin Bay, General Walker entered the town at the head of a detachment of troops, and found there a letier from Gen. Caios, Mora’s the command cf the Costa Rican troops, commending to his care a number of sick and wounded soldiers, who would, he said, when con. valescent, be exchanged for American prisoners in his bands. Gen. Walker and his troops were in ex- celient health and spirits. He had stationed detach- ments of his army at Virgin Bay and San Juan. The Orizaba reports the transit route as again free, and that there was no British blockade, as re ported. Indeed, Captain Tarleton, of the British frigate Eurydice, informed our Minister that he had no instructions to interpose any interruption to the landing of passengers or munitions of war. In con sequence of this intelligence the vessels comprising the American squadron which had assembled at Key West on the 25th ult. will not visit San Juan, but will proceed to their various destinations, aa detailed by our naval correspondent, whose letter mey be found elsewhere. Gen. Mora condemned the action of his troops in destroying the wharf at Virgin Bay, and disgraced the officer who ordered the Vandalism. So many dead bodies of the Costa Ricans had been thrown into the wells at Rivas, tnat the remaining portion of the town cannot be tenanted for a long time to come. The Presidential e} in Nicaragua had been conducted in an orderly and peaceable manner, and terminated, as was supposed, in the return of Patri- cio Rivas, the Provisional President. The result, howevy had not been published. The opposing candidates were democrats. Fever prevailed at Granada, and Capt. Walker, the youngest brother of the General, and Mr. Alden, of this city, together with a number of other residents, bad died. There bad been a dashing expedition to the Chon- tales gold mines, under command of Gen. Goicuria, who is well known in this city. It succeeded in opening up that district cf the country, and chas- tising a band of Chamorro robbers which infested the mountain passes. Among other improvements, a cavalry corps had been organized and added to the army in Granada, and a splendid brass band had been formed, under the direction of Mr. Adkin, late of the Washington Brass Band, of this city. It will be seen, from the official report of the Schlessinger Court Martial, which we publish, that the Colonel isa deserter, under sentence of death for cowardice and treason. Among the passengers by the Orizaba is Mr. E. Randolph, who has the contract of the Transit route. It is not unlikely that he visits New York to arrange matters with the old Transit Company and set every- thing to rights. By way of New Orleans we have news from Mexi- co to the 22d ultimo. The Bishop of Puebla, having been banished the country, had sailed for Bordeaux. After bis arrest his adherents attempted a rescue, but failed, and several of them were put in confine- ment. Admiral Zerman nas been imprisoned by the government. Our correspondent at St. George, Granada, in the West Indies, writing on the 17th ult., states tiat vessels of war of all nations were cruising in large numbers in the Caribbean Sea. The governmental expenditures of the island for the past year were £17,504, and its revenue £33,762. The value of sugar, molasses and rum already exported amounted to £21,814. The Antilles will produce abundance of salt this year. The shipping of guano from the islands on the coast of Venezuela is quite an item in the commerce of the West India islands, and will produce a fortune to the company engaged in the business. The weather was most favorable, and the crops generally good. Capt. Atkinson, of the bark Venus, arrived yee- terday, from Curacoa 18th ult., reports that salt waa abundant there. No rain had fallen for a considera ble length of time. Capt. Brevoor, of the schooner Brontes, at this port, from Porto Cabello 15th ult., states that the city had been favored, for the first time in seven months, with several fine showersof rain. gUhe long continued drought had nearly destroyed vegetation, and prodace was in consequence scarce and high. We publish this morning « report of an interest ing and novel cere i took place yesterday in the Catholic char ken. It was the en shrinement of the relics st. Quietus, one of the martyrs of the early Christian church, and we un derstand it is th® first celebration of the kind which s ever occurred in the United States. A sermon oecasion "by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Sumner agsan't was the subject of discourse jn several of our puipits yesterday. We give in t- sas eriaitty a strange one. Read eg tetegraphic despatch from Cincinnati. It Err phitally dapicta the pastimes and plots of the Poh" jciens essamabled there. The Benton delega- afrcm Missouri, has been ruled out im crucas, ae ‘trouble between the New York hanis and softs ard nét bess settled up to a late hour last wight, at which time™here was a strong probability that if the question of admission was brought betore the Con- vention &t would be decided in favor of the hards. The séfts desire to compromise, but their opponents ‘will accept nothing short of an unconditional sar render. The Douglas men met in caucus yester- dey, and deliberated until a late hour upon the pro- priety of withdrawing him from the contest. ‘Should they determine so to do, and Gen. Pierce quit the field after the first ballot—and such appears to be the programme—the nomination of Mr. Bu chanan on the second ballot is regarded as certain. Sommer commenced yesterday with one of the finest days we have experienced for a long time- The atmosphere was filled with “warmth without heat, and coolness without cold.” The value of foreign goods imported at the port of Boston during the week ending May 30, amounted to $787,208.

Thetransactions ambraced about 1,500 a 2,000 bales, Common grades of flour were about 6}. per bbl. lower, while mediam avd upper grades were steady, with moderate sales Wheat was duil for inferior and common lots, while prime qu were firm, with a wile range of prices.

The dieruption of the Know Nothing party at the late Fillmore Philadelphia Con- vention, inte two hostile sectional factions, was but the beginning, or rather but one of the premonitory symptoms, of the curious, exciting and important contest before us. Never has there been, and perhaps there never may be again, apything in the politics of this original, incomparable and wonderful couatry to com- pare with this break-neck Presidential steeple chase of 1856. To-day, in Cincinnati, the democracy of the whole Union, under the management of our bighly reepectable friends the Kansas nigger- drivers, begin to stir up the mixed ingredients of their bubbling cauldron. What they will bring out of it no mortal man can tell. The wisest prophet among their jagglera knows no more, we dare say, of the nomination that will be made than General Walker, down in Nica- ragua. The first regular course, after the mock turtle soup, at the Cincinnati dianer table, will be Pierce, Douglas and Bachanaa When these hopeful individuals shall have been cut up and devoured, as prisoners of war are consumed among the Fejee islandera, with- out remoree, and without salt, the side dishes will be brought forward, consisting of Macey, of New York; Hunter, of Virginia; Bright, of Indiana; Davis, of Mississippi; Rusk, of Texas; Dalles, of Pennsylvania ; Cod, of Georgia: Boyd, of Kentucky; and all the eurviving available democratic speakers of Congress, and governors, of the last twenty-five years, In the event of a failure to concentrate th requisite two-thirds upon any one of these, or upon apy other distinguished military chieftaia cr county court lawyer, itis apprehended that there will be a grand explosion at Cincinnati, like the combustion of a masss of fireworks set off by accident, scattering sticks, emoke and sulphur, death and destruction, upon every ede. We, however, do not anticipate any such desi- rable result. ‘‘ The cohesive power ofthe public plunder” brought up, under the economy of our present model administration, to an aggre- gate bard upon a hundred millions a year, will keep the brethren together, and work out a nomination of some kind before they adjourn, Who “the happy man” will be is another question. Like the Irish drummer in the play, he may be a man without a shirt to his back ; but the jugglers, for all that, will be certain to find him out, as the identical man for the crisie, the country and the spoils. In another quarter a new and somewhat startling movement has been commenced in one of the opposition camps. It is well known that a General Convention for the nominatioa of a Presidential ticket has been called to meet in this great metropolis on the twelfth instant, by the Northern bolters from the late Phi!adel- phia Know Nothing concern, and that arrange- ments have been made or are in progress for a full representation of the bolters’ party, from all the Northern States, including, very likely, an indignant“ free State” delegate or two from the troublesome Territory of Kansas. This movement represents what may be called the George Law branch of the great original Know Nothing party. A new and peculiar impulse was given to this movement in a State Convention, the other day, at Albany, the pro- ceedings of which we published yesterday. Our readers will have seen from the proceed- ngs of this Albany Convention that it has provided a full State delegation to the General Convention here of the 12th, and that the veritable “Live Oak George Law,” our old friend and fellow sufferer, heads the catalogue. Having, in his own behalf, resigned all aspira- tions for an election to the White House in November next—having, in fact, made up his mind \to wait till 1560—he has not thought proper, on that account, to relinquish all in- terest in, and to remfin a mere looker on through the present contest. No! If hecan- not head the army he is willing, like Can- robert, to fight im the ranks; and thus he ocmee before us, armed from head to foot, “like a steam engine in breeches.” This Albany Convention has also adopted a formidab'e Northern platform for the cam- paign—a thoroughly digested Northern Know Nothing, Protestant and anti-slavery platform ‘t appropriates the thunder of the Seward worrhippers on the Kansas issue lavery and the “ border raffiaas’’-- t execrates the outrage upon Senator Sumaer with eo emotion which will bring teara of joy or ecirow (we don’t know which) to the eyou NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1856. ‘of Sewerl, Such sve the late Albany reso- Autions; ticking firmly, at the sane. time, | to the great ccener-etone of the origiaat Know Nothiog platform, that “Americans stall rule Americas,” and that the Dutch and Irish, the Pope, Archbiehop Hughes and the Jesaics that all stand back. In thie significant open- img ot the new George Law movement, we fiad among the moet conspicuous of the actors, oe of the active supporters of Tyler’s administra- tion in tbis quarter. Those resolutions, which eooompletely anticipate the game of the S> ward alliance, and take the wind out of their sails, bear the endorsement of this sagacious cbampion ot Captain Tyler! Inevery aepect, therefore, we may regard this Albany Convention as the initiative of one of the most important political movements of these wonderful revolutionary times. It oreshadows, we doubt not, very distinctly the programme of the George Law Know Nothiag Protestant and anti-Slavery Nomicating Coa- yention of the 12th. This George Law party are thus placed in a position to “head off” or reduce to terms of surrender the great pie- bald gathering of the Seward nigger worsbio- pers of the 17th at Philadelphia. Asavailable candidates ot the anti-Nebracka, anti-Piercse and anti-slavery and Know Nothing fusi n ele- ments of the North, the newspapers have brought out Judge McLean and Goveraor Chase of Ohio, Speaker Banks of Masa, Stock- ton of New Jersey, W. H. Seward of New York, Fremont of South Carolina, Clayton of Dela- ware, Bell of Tennessee, and others. What then? Itis probable that, if left to iteelf, the Philadelpbia Nigger Worshipper’ Convention would limit itself t> McL2sa, Chase, Seward,- Banks and Fremont, #3 the availables from which to make a choice. But the interposition of this “Live Oak” Convention of the 12th interferes very mv‘ ally with the plans of the Philadelphia wi workers; for this George Law movem2at, b2- jog in behalf of the avundant floating materi. als constituting the Kaow Nothiag, anti-Fill- more, aptiSeward, agatislavery Protes forces, is absolutely esgential to the Se yard co- alitich, to prevent it, at Poiladelpbia, from tumbling to pieces. Thus it is manifest that this New York Convention of the 12:n may Gictate the candidate and a considerable m- gin of the platform—to say nothiog of the spoils—of the Seward Philadelphia Convention of the 17th, Such are the advantages a taking Time by the forelock, and puttingin a balance of power precisely where it will tell t» some purpose. The game depends very muh upon the skill of the players at th2 12th of June Coa- vention. Allthe camps of our Northern nigger wor- shippers and anti-slavery Know Nothiigs are now in motion. We understand that Thurlow Weed, alarmed at this new “Live Oak” deve- lopement, and suspecting mischief to Seward at the bottom of it, came down the other day from Albany to the Astor House, where he has since been engaged in earoest con cultation with a few choice spirits rpon the subject, the main question being, “ Vaoat are we todo now?” We anticipate, between the actors in behalf of the New York and Philadel- phia Conventions, and between them end the wrangling democracy, a prodigious struggle, and an excitement during the next three weeks which will be intensely interesting, waking up with political action even the Quakers, Sha- Kers and Old School Presbyterians. If the George Law Convention should nominate either McLean, Banks, Chase, Stockton, Sam Houeton, Fremont or any other man with ao extensive judicial, political, military, railroad or gold mine populerity to back him up, the Philadelphia nigger worshippers will be com- Pelled to accept him on the terms proposed, or consent to be reduced to their original dimea sions as a mere outside faction, lik: that of Hale in 1852. We await the issue of these June Conven- tions with fear and trembling. George Law, for himeelf, declines the crown, for the present, content with the office meantime of “Warwick the King Maker.” Bat the man who can build such aquedacte, railroads, steamboats and po- litical platforms as “Live Oak George” has built, would unquestionably himeelf be a vast improvement upon Seward, Chase and such, and upon such two thirds democratic Presi- dente as Franklin Pierce, capecially upoa the nigger question. Look at the Balti. more platform of 1852, and look at the nigger drivers, the nigger worshippers, the bloody doings at Washington, the Kansas war andthe “border roffians,” all brought upon usby this Pierce administration! We await the issue of these June Conventions with hope and buoyancy. Crampton is dismissea, Marcy still lives, and there is a decided im provement in the weather. Nigger Worship Rampant. The excited Northerners who have latterly expressed so much horror at the idea of avy one in South Carolina justifying the assault on Senator Sumner, will do well to read the re- Port of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Con- vention, which we republish elsewhere from a local journal. They will learn from it two things. First, they will perceive from the let- ter from Senator Sumner to Theodore Parker —which wasread at the meeting—that the former boasted beforehand that “he would pro- nounce the most thorough philippic that had ever been heard in the Senate.” brom this it would to some extent appear that Mr. Sum- ner courted an assault; and though that pre- sumption can by no means justify the brutal conduct of Mr. Brooks, it ought, one would imagine, to lessen the popular sympathy for Senator Samner. A man who drawa the sword cannot well be pitied, if he perish by the sword. But the lesson conveyed by the nigger wor- shipping meeting does not rest here. One of the leading speakere—Mr. Charles L. Romond —aseured the meeting that “he could spit upoa Washington;” and flew into a rage at the thought that people might not like his saying that “that scoundrel George Washington had enslaved his fellow-men.” Mr. Wendell Phillips was not so sure about that. “He knew his (Wash- ington’s) defects, the effect of his evil example: but let him remember his times, his education... he was asinner.... Butifhe called Washington a scoundrel, what would he call Pierce?” Ia brief, he “objected to the term scoundrel, as applied to Washington, because it was not sufficiently graphic. Let an American say scoundrel, ard the ear ac Webster.” Such waa the tone, irit of meeting. Now, if thia ia to be the tala the uage of nigger worshippers at Boston, how can it be a matter | { wonder that nigger @rivers at Charleston ebould vote silver pitohers t eir BD sit not plain that one extreme involves aad ——— the other? And which, may it please*4he Northern anti-stavery party, ap- pears the most offensive outrage—aa attack upon & young and hale Senator with a stick, or an attack upon the hallowed memory of Wasbington with brutal epithets by a meetiag of intelligent men, many of them clergymen, acd others prominent citizens? Would it not be more senrible, more logical, more feasible for the Northern followers of Mr. Seward to try to put a stop to auch disgustiog ribaldry as that we bave jurt quoted than to trouble them- selvee about what men do in Columbia or Charleston ? There are other points in the report which sare well worth notice. The resolution offered by Mr. Foster pronounced that every “anti- slavery party which promises allegiance to the federal constitution fs tainted and epuri ous” There is no doubt a great deal of trath in this, There ie more lip loyalty than real meaning in the professions of these ulira-nig- gor drivers aud nigger worshippers. They are like the British Minister who wanted to ealist men here, but would not for the world brea our neutrolity laws; they are all for secessiou on the one side, and disuzion oa the other, b25 their devotion to the constitution ig ail the time uncommonly deep and sincere. Tae Bo3- ton fanatics hit the nail on the head. Anti- slavery agitation in the North, and loyalty to the constitution, are self-evidently irreconcil- able. The rampant railers against the Soutn are swicdlers when they assume to be true to the Union. Whether the meeting—or rather one of its leading orators, Mr. Garrison—was or was not in error in styling the religion of thia country ‘ap inhuman, anti-Christian and bloody reli- giov,”’ we leave to its ministers to decide. Bat whatever it is, many of its teachers are fast becoming, in some parts of the country, a positive nuisance. It isa notorious fact that the nigger worshipping party is mafaly led, in the country parts, by the Protestant clergy. It is they who keep alive the excitement about slavery. It is they who instil into the minds of youth that hatred to the South, that spirit of unreasoning fanaticism which culminate in outrages oa the name of Washiogtoa, and civil war in the United States Tercito- ries. We make bold to say that the excite- ment about Kansas would not have been half as violent or as widespread as it is had it not been for the pernicious efforts of the New England clergy. Sunday afser Sunday we hear of violent party political speeches be- ing delivered from the pulpit; uatilit has be- come a matter of doubt with many of the beet men whether as much injury as benefit may not result from the habit of going to church. There are of course excellent men who con- trast boldly with these fauatics; who are really ministers of religion, and not ministers of par- ty politics; but, we deeply regret to say it, their number in the Eastera States is becoming gradually less, and a sort of fatality seema to be driving the whole clerizal body to destruc tion. It would be charity to the church, and kind to the preachers, to bring them suddenly and roughly toa sense of the real duties ot their calling, by depriving them of the means of prepagating mischief and sedition; but it is not likely that that course will be adopted Men of means and reflection will themselves withdraw from the church; and that body, meeting with no open opposition, wiil rash headlong on with its revolutionary work, un- til, like the successive schools of French revo lutionaries sixty years ago, it finds itself swal- lowed up in the vortex, and becomes one of the first victims of the commotion it has itself aroused. Hearn or tae Crry—Errecrs or Sanrrary Rectiations.—The mortality tables of this week exhibit a most satisfactory and conclu- sive indication of the benefits resultiag from the adoption of a strict system of sanitary regulations. They report the lowest number of deaths of any week since November, 1852, the nearest approach to the number of this week being the week ending May 21, 1853 when it was 304, that of the presen’ week being 287. Taking the comparative total of deaths for the twenty-two corresponding weeks, from the the Ist of January of 1854, 855 and 1856, the result shows as follows :-- Ending June 3, 1854 ee 8, 1856. “May 31, 1856. —So that for the same period in 1856 there were 2,177 less deaths than in 1855, and 2,044 less than in 1854. There is no question that this gratifying im- provement in the health of the city is due to the energetic and efficient manner in which the Health Wardens have carried out the re- gulations laid down for their guidance by Mr, Morton, the City Inspector. It shows, also, that if still greater powers were given to him a still more marked result might be obtained. Notwithstanding the foolish predictions as to the probability of our being visited this sum- mer by the yellow fever, there never was, io fact, less chance of it. The city was never in such a healthy condition, and never before were the miasmatic influences which coasti- tute the source of epidemics more completely kept under. Obituary. HON. JOHN MILTON NILES.

He was born at Windsor, Ct., on the 20th of August, 1787, and Was admitted to the bar in December, 1812. About the year 1816 he took up his residence in Hartford, and became one of the first proprietors of the Hartford Times, and continued to act as principal editor of that paper until the year 1820.

The Soutaern and Southwestern Siates manifes' a will- inguess, after they have given the Brigadier » compli- mentary vote, togo for Buchanan. This indication has caused great alarm among the friends of Dougias. Indiana, Tennessee and Arkansas have desided, after the second ballot—which wiil be the last for Pierce—to go over tc Buchanan. These are S:ates that the Douglas men counted on as the firmest in the Southwest for him. The Virginia delegation met last night, and desided to cast their vote asa unit for Buchanan. The Massashu- setts delegaticn aleo met ast night. Col. Gresne and Mr. Peaslee urged upon them to cast their votes asa unit for Pierce. Five of them refused to submit to that arrangement. They said that they would vote on the first ballot for Pierce, provided they (Greene, Peasles & Company) would thes cast their votes for Buchanan. They alo refused. Tae delegation meet again to mozrow morning, when I anticipate a bigh time. ‘The Jouisiana delegation is also divided. Slidell and Soulé are both working furiously. Bachanan will g+t Louitiana afier the first ballot. Pierce will get pretty large vote on the firs! ballot. His friends will then withdraw him from the field. The contest will then be between Bushanan and Douglas; Buchanan will lead him fifty votea in the Northern States, which, with the Southern States already pl:dged for him, will secure his nomination, A well informed Douglas man told me this even'ng that Buchanan was a gozd deal stronger in the Soush and Southwest than he supported, The wirepullers, politicians and lobby from Washing- ton have all been transferred here, and are very busy. They keep dark as to their preference for the Presid sncy. They will not show their hand until they ascertaia who is the strongest man, Thexe are upwards of fitty members of Cong:ess now here. Colcne) Orr will not be here in tims for the orga- nization cf the Ccnvention. Senator Bright of Indiana, is expected every hour. Mc. McLean of Maryland is ta'ked of as Chairman of the Convention. The eoft delegation from New York have, this morniag, appointed aa Executive Committee, consisting of Israel Hatch, Wm. B. Ludlow, John C, Wright, John Kelley, Jobn Stryker, Dean Richmond and S. B. Jewett. The Youeg Men’s Democratic Committee of New York organized this evening, electing Robert C. Montgomery Chairman, THE LATEST. The Douglas men have been caucusing all day as to the propriety ot withdrawicg him from the field, They have come to no determination asjyet, and the result will not be known until they meet again to-morrow morning. If they withdraw Douglas, Buchenan will be nomtaated on the second ballot. The cause of this movement is the loss of Indiana and Tennessee. Interesting from Washington, THE CENTRAL AMERICAN AND RECRUITMENT QUES: TIONS—BY WHOM AND IN WHAT MANNER OUR FO- REIGN AFFAIRS ARE CONDUCTED--THE FRENCH MINISTER'S INTRIGUES—PAYMENT OF THE TEXAS DEST—COXDITION OF THE TREASURY, ETC. WasninGton, Jane 1, 1856. An exceedingly interesting retrospect of our differen ses with England upon the enlistment matter, and in refe- rence to the Central American dispute, has just now been disclosed to me, Esrly in April you will recollect the Hera suggested that the dispute about the Bay Islands really between England and Honduras; that the United States had no other interest in the aftair then such as refer to the neutrality and freedom of the tyn- ait States of Central America; and it was suggested tha! her Majesty’s government might well afford to cede its claims to the islands, and thus get rid of the controveray in a creditable and fair way. + Now,I have occasion to know thet Lord Ciareadon’s government received in a friendly spirit the suggestions contained in the Hgrto’s article, which was republished in the London Times about the 234 of April, aut that informal overtures were mate by Mr. Cramp- ton to the President on that basis, for » settle- ment of all the outstanding differences between he two governments. It was thus intimated to the President some time ago, and apparently teovived in the kindest spirit, that Lord Clarendon, with a view toan amicable strangement of the Central American dispute, would frankly apologize to this goverament for the enlistment affair; would disavow all intention on his part, and on the part of his agents, to violate our laws or infringe our sovercignty, so as toenable the United States as frankly to accept the apology, and there drop the subject. The enlistment dispa‘e bsing then re. moved, it was the intention gf her Majesty's governmant magnanimously sod voluntat to cede the Bay Islania to Honduras, so extending the hand of fellowship to Brother Jonathan, By the bungling perceptions of Mr. Marcy, the pacitis purpose of the Clareadon ministry hes been ufterly de- feated. He falls back on the tecfnteal viola‘ Jaw, and on the evidence thereof afforced in Mr. for jadiotal determination, wha! constitutes eslistmeng wi hin the meaning of the statute. Mr. Webster, id 1342, on ths Texae affair, mointatael thet going gebroad wish sims in hand, did not consti‘ute an tofriqigement of our nentral laws. Hs conceded toal) the peop the biewhigat of expatriation, and warned the counffry against oon pd vga voluntary shantonmens of fhe comntry with BVbeede el vas AOdude vblge dug om Gheisens, It TS ‘was competent, under Mr. Webster’s constraction of our statutes, for Mr. Crampton to post biilsin al} proper places, saying that her Majesty’s government would be glad to enlist troops at Galifax. Such acts would have. been general notices only, and there would have been such an abrence of privity of contract as to have se- cured freedom of individual action, which would have been voluntary expatriation. The truth of the case is here :—Mr. Attorney Generad Cushing {s the father of all that has been done at the State Department. Ali the quibblfng, ali the teshui- cality, all the folly and pettifogging of the. despatches, belong to Caleb Cushing. He had caused everything to be published im Eng- lish, French and Spanish, to be sent to the various Courts inEurope. Mr. Cushing is the blun~ derer, and Mr. Marcy a non-resistant endorser only of” what has been done. The position of the latter, then, is regarded here as even worse than the former. He sins: with his eyes open; and even consents to pave his repu- tation made up of the vores and resolutions of the Pierce Cabinet. M. do Ssrtiges, the French Minister, {s on his high-heel boots. He seems vastly delighted as the clouds of war thicken over the political horizon, He stiqulates Mr, Crampton; and now that the British Embaesy is closed, he argues that half hia fatal work has been accomplished. Impertant news from the French squadron destined for San Juan will be the subject of a Cabinet meating to- morrow. President Pierce seems worrfed at the intimation that Crampton’s removal was brought about by the Cinein- nati Convention ; nevertheless, it is true. The de- mand was made by certain delegates asa sine qua non, and granted. ‘The General Land Office has decided that land war- rants issued under the act of March 2, 1852, and located, but not pre-empted, are assignable. 8.

It has been suggested that previous to the meeting of the Cincinnati Convention the delegates from the. six Northera States should assemble, exchange views, and make arrangemeats to cast their votes together. This may be set down as a movement fer Doug'as, and an ea- deavor will, no doubt, be made to carry it out, Those States will have one hundred and twenty-four delegates in the convention, with sixty-two votes, as follow Ohio..... Total......seerssssseccsscseceecsceesieves Sam Medary, of the Colum>us Ohio Statesman, denies that he ever gave any guaran‘ee that Onio would cast her vote for Dougias in the Cincinnati Convention. The Richmond Enquirer, in reading a lesson to the New York democracy, recommends the Cincinnati Conven ion to torn out both the delegations from this State. It says, if the democracy of New York have not sense enough t> agree among themselves, they should not be allowai t» mar the harmony of the delegates from other States, ‘The students of the University of Virginia have held a meeting, snd passed strong resolutions in favor of the course pursued by Mr. Brooke ia the Sumner affair, They not only returned their thanks to the chivalrous Carolinian, as they call Mr. Books, for the gallant man- ner in which he deferded the rights of the South, but voted bim a handsome cane to replace the one he broke: in 60 good a cance. The black republicans of Philadelphis held a conven. tion on the 27th ult., and, after appointing delegates to the National Convention, voted themselves aggrieved at the Iate astault committed in the United States Senate. chamber. The Richmond Dispatch, in commenting on the affalr between Brooks and Sumner, remarks :—‘‘ We are no ad- vocates of the club or pistol, but men who indulge in vituperative personalities must not be surprised if they arouse passions which it is not always possible to restrain.”’ A mectiog was held in Newberry, S.C., on the 24th ult., at whish it was resolved to approve the condaet of Hon. Preston S. Brooks in bis affair with Mr. Sumner. This is im Mr. Brooks’ Congressional district. The meet” ing also resolved to send him a cane, and it was acsord- ingly rent. The Massachusetts House of Representatives, by « vote of 208 to 78, have passed a resolution for amending ‘the constitution of the State so that @ fourteea yeara’ residence in this country shail be necessary to qualify a foreigner to vote. This is coming down seven years from the Know Nothing platform. The Black Repubiican State Convention of Vermoat will be held at Montpelter on Tuesday, the 3d inst. The Norfolk Argus is very asvere on Mr, Sumner, and praises Colonel Brooks for the part he took in the late i ffair in the Senate chamber. The Richmond Examiner thinks that the affsic between: Brooks and Sumner is one of the most fortunate occur- rences of the day, and it regards Mr. Brooke as the moat judicious and practical reformer of Congressional man. ners that the country has been biesse’ with. It ssys, for years the Southern representutives in Congress have been insulted and forced to listen to the most violent sbore of their domestic institutions, witheut being able to retaliate, in consequence of the non combatism of the Northern wembers, ‘The Boston A (las of Yesterday was the evniverrary cf the signirg ef (he Nevraska bil.
