By the arrival of the 4 at this port yesterday we have one day's lester advices from Barope. Although the tone of e of the London journals is of rather an angry and vindictive character, the impression which we derive from the ggueral tenor of the discussion ia Parliament on tHe subject, as well as from our own ivtiers, is, that the dismissal of Mr. Crampton will lead to no similar act of reprigg) en the part of the British Cabinet. The letter of our London correspondent, who has pecalidr opportuni- ties of arriving at correct information, assures us positively that Mr. Dallas will not be dismissed But putting this evidence aside, we look upon the @eclarations with which Lord John Russell prefaced his notice or motion on the subject to be con- elusive as to the decision that will be arrived at by the government. Although when in office the measures of Lord John Russell have not always given satisfaction, when in opposition he ‘is justly looked upon as the representative of the popular opinion of the country. In the face of the sentiments expressed by him and of those contained imthe Manchester appeal to the American people, there is no danger that the goverwment vill allow -any false feelings of pride to interfere with its com- Pliance with the general sentiment of the & Saglish nation. Besides, from the declaration made by the London Times, after the receipt of Mr. Marcy's last despatch, that the is now narrowed down to the question of Mr. Cra) ‘s guilt or innocence, it is evident that the ad proofs which it fur- nished of that gentlem ve made seme impre ad of Lord Clarendon.

The arrangements are on an extensive scale, and the occasion will un- doubtedly prove very interesting to those who attend. The Last News from England—The Only Difficulty. The news by the Asia, to which we surrender a large proportion of our available space this morning, is unusually interesting. The official notification in Parliament of the dismissal of Mr. Crampton and his three associate Consuls in the late enlistment business here, appears to have ex- clted among all parties in England a profound sensation. The London organs of the Palmer- ston government were clamorous for instant re- taliation upon Mr. Dallas; the commercial and manwfacturing classes were issuing their cireu- lars for peace; Palmerston and Clarendon had not yet made up their minds as to the course, they should pursue, still holding the rod in fer- rorem over the guilty heads of Pierce and Mare Lord John Russell had given notice, however, of an early inquiry as to what was the intenti of the government; and from the utter ave of the English people to a war against their American gold. corn and cotton » think it safe to conclude that Mr. Dallas will be graciously permitted to remain at his post. This is the move probable from the fact that he las instrue- tions to continue the Central American negotia- tiens, and authority even to submit at issue to Lord Cl bitration. ar But suppose her Majesty's ing upon pe i) should forego the and, resolving upon a bit of re . Dallas, or dismiss him without far ther ceremony, what will be gained? The diplo mat. call of M intercourse between the two governny probably be suspended for a year or two, and when resumed it will be at the point where the discussion was broken off. Nothing, therefore, can be made of this policy of “masterly inactivity,’ unless my Lord Clarendon should have his eye upon some intermediate and satisfactory solution of the whole Central American problem by Gea. Walker. Recent circumsta s, howe this idca.

What haa followed? Ever since the ratification Mr. Clayton has been diligently employed in expounding the American interpretation of that treaty. He appears to have been returned to the Senate from Delaware for no other purpose than to explain that treaty, as the occasion, from time to time, might re- quire. He has made perhaps twenty, perhaps thirty speeches upon that treaty. They would fill a volume as large, we suspect, as the two volumes of the “Debates in Convention upon the adoption of the constitution of the United States’? And with every call upon the honorable Senator, these interminable speeches lengthen and ttrengthen. They “grow with his growth and strengthen with his strength ;” and still we cry will there never be an end of this? On the other side, the letters of Sir Henry Bulwer, the speeches of Palmerston, the notes of Clarendon, and others, are like the piling of Ossa upon Pelion, still con- Wibuting to make the confusion worse confounded. In one of our Protestant elementary school books it is stated that when John Rogers was burut at the stake, his poor wife was preseut among the spectators, “with nine small children and one at the breast ;” but it has remained a mootd question to this day whether the one at the breast was one of the nine or made the tenth. So with this Claytoa- Bulwer treaty—its provisions respecting coloni- zation, occupation and fortification will still remain a debatable question, short of some addi- tional codicil explaining its real intentions, or some act which will abolish it from the recollec- tion of mankind. Mr. Marcy, it now appears, is not to be behind his “ illustrious predecessor’ in diplematic potti- fogging. His ambition is to split hairs and chop logie upon nice distinctions, Hudibras could scarcely excel him in this, THe is willing to sub- mit certain geographical poin‘s to abitration, leaving real troubles in the case untouched and still open to more serious complications. He has read, perbaps, ail the apeeches of Clayton, and is convinced that the claims of England to her pre-existing colonies are abolished by this ex post facto law. But if it were really intended by the treaty to oust Great Britain from the Mosquito ccast aud her logwood tricts of Honduras, why did uot Mr: Clayton see to it that (he wrt of ejectment should not be misunderstood or evaded? The simple truth is, that the juggle of two diplomatic charlatans —each slily working and shuffling to overreach the other—should have been repudiated in the Senate, The consequences of the ratification of ir trickery are before usin the critical extre- mily to which the bungling administration of Mr. Pierce and the fuse have brought this r imbrogls. We have no expectation that Marcy’ tions to Mr, Dallas will result in a settlement, Our only hope is that after this Pierce and Marcy dynasty shall have been driven out of Washing- ton, by a new administration of men acting from ihe dictates of common sense and common ho- nesty, the way to a satisfactory and pacific ad- justment will be opened before us. But still the of asmooth and peaceable setilement will be retarded with the continuance in power of the fdgety. prejudiced, hectoring and mischievous government of Palmerston on the other side. The frst offur in behalf of peace from the American people is the expulsion of this Pierce administra- tion, In the same spirit of “ happy accord’ the people of England should demand the displace- ment of Palmerston and his ministry. With this t ry movement carried out, ona fide, on both sides, there will be no difficulty in disposiug of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. gov ‘idiculous Central American wor Tre Revorvyon in Caiironnta—The news that Cora and Casey, the murderers, have been hanged; that the office of the Safety Com itiee is guarded wi ton; that iis membre that thousands of men I fered to serve under it in the and finally that fl course of or Governor in- in 2 opposition is said ie stated on after all, the Safe have when an al n made to arms, and theref he old adage, the laws \ a rioi— n attempt 1ose who tall Those who project armed resistance be killed.

Si wontd be an interesting { pe proce ‘The Feeling in England. ‘We have private advices from England, inform- ing us that the effect of Mr. Marcy’s despatch on the British Ministry was excellent, and that Mr. Dallas will not be dismissed. It will be remem- bered that though the government had heard the contents of the despatch from Mr, Dallas’ mouth, the public had no further knowledge of it than was conveyed by the half-guessing comments of the Times, Within a day or two—before the Monday—the American journals will probably have arrived with the dpspatch printed in full ; and it stands to reasogfto suppose that it will produce as powerful an effect on the people and the press as it did on the government, When the last mail arrived, we stated that the imbroglio might be considered as terminated. We now reiterate that conviction with a better knowledge of the facts. As the Times intimates, he question is now narrowed down into one of Mr. Crampton’s guilt or innocence. That is the proper ground for it to occupy. If Mr. Cramp- ton was innocent, he was wrongly dismissed; and it would serve this country right not only to see its Minister dismissed, but to lose character and prestige throughout Europe. For the only ex- cuge for the high handed measure then would be that Mr. Pierce was courting popularity for electoral purposes; and no one in this coun- try would object to see a President well punished for thus proving false to his station. But if on the other hand Mr. Crampton was guilty—and we are bound to say that for our part we have not the smallest doubt but he was—then it will devolve on the British government not to carp at this administration for dismissing him, but to render to Mr. Pierce hearty thanks for having taken a measure which justice called for, and the interests and friendship of the two nations required. Indeed, from the moment that the question is placed on this—the only rational—hasis, it ceases to be dangerous or irritating. It assumes a shape in which reason can grasp it without any enor- mous effort ; it does not necessarily provoke out- bursts of national prejudice or passion. Did Mr. Crampton commit the acts charged, or did he not? That is the whole point now ; and we can assure our British neighbors that if they can show, in a straightforward, sensible way, ‘that the charges brought agifinst the late British Minister were unfounded, and the acts whereof he stands accused not actually committed by him, they will obtain the hearty sympathy of every American citizen, and every respectable journal, in de- nouncing, in the strongest terms, the conduct of the President and his advisers. But until that is shown, we must be allowed to consider the argu- nent against Crampton to be conclusive. Jn dismissing the subject, we cannot forbear to contrast the debates in the British Parliament with those in the United States Senate on the subject of the controversy. But for its priority in point of time one might well believe that the scene at the town lodgings of Tite Barnacle, Se- nior, had been copied from the discussion in the House of Commons in which Lord Palmerston was asked what news from America? The Right Honorable statesman prevaricated; insinuated what was false; conceded what was true; seemed, on the whole, desirous of producing two effects on his hearers—first, an impression that it was presumptuons and unbecoming to ask questions ot him; and secondly, a belief that matters look ed very bad indeed. Lord John Russell, on this, seized the opportunity of taking the wind out of his friend’s sails, by. giving notice of his motion for Monday; clearly seeing how matters are shaping themselves, and anxious, if his old friend isto be inrned out, to be the man to take his place, We think we may contrast this intriguing and cireumlocution, and scheming “how not to do it,” very safely with our late debate in the Senate, Se A Svécrstion— 10) hy act of Congress or by the expression of the If it were practicable, popular wish, that at the next Presidential elec- tion a ballot box should be provided at every poll throughout the United States to receive the votes of the electors on this question—Shall the Union be maintained at all hazards—Yes or No —we presume there would be little doubt of the result, Not one vote ina hundred would be ia the negative, and the abolitionists, sectionalists and factionis ould be found in a miserable minority. Never again would the attempt be made to dissolve the Union. The public will would be so strongly expressed as to leave no further hope to the enemies of ihe Constitution and the country.

Mr. SxwAxp, of N. ¥.—In 1840, before I had personally met Thomas H. Bayly, and while he was yet young, I en- countered him in a controversy conducted by bim in the Legislature of Virginia, and by myseil’ as the executive magistrate of New York, and I felt his ability and power, while 1 was also compelled to acknowledge his manliness and dignified bearing, In 1869 we met here, prepared, I think, "by mutual respect, to be courteous adversaries. We remained in that relation toward each other until last December, when he, doparting with a forlorn hope to Cuba, but deeply impressed that his disease had al- ready become incurable, took his thoughts off from earth and its ambitions, and fixed them upon a higher sphere, its mysteries and its promises, I then becamefhis friend. I would not intrude ou the solemn ottices now performed here, with so much propriety and justice, by is immediate associates, farther than to add the testi- mony of one who the world regards as a stranger—and may possibly have considered an eremy—to the deccased, to the truth of the highest praises which have been bestowed upon this eminent Virginia statesman.

He came to St. Louis to meet his wife, and will return to Kansas in the course of the week. He reports all quiet in the Territory. Aletter to the Republican, from Westport, 24th inst., saysa meeting was held there on Sunday to deaounce the murder by the Indians of the agent, Gay. A com- mittee was appointed to draft an address to the Governor of Missonri, informing him of the murder, and asking him to ofler arcward for the apprehension of the murderers. Thirty-five citizens of Westport, the letter states, sub- scribed $750, in sums from $10 to $50 cach, for the pur- poretof offering a suitable reward for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty parties. The Chicago company of emigrants disarmed “at Lex- ington on Sunday, were aboagd the Star of the West. When the boat landed, a co: ites of citizens came on board and informed the captain of the object of their visit. He introduced them to Mr. Andrews, the president of the company, who stated in reply to the demand of the committce that he had sever men under his charge, who were going tu Kansas to settle; thateach one of them had a gun, and they were determined to keep them, The committee replied that they were satisfied that the intentions of the party were hostile, and that they were recruits for the Lane and Reeder party in Kansas, and the people of Lexington had determined that they should not pass unless they gave up their arms, after codsiderable parleying, it was agreed that the arms should be taken ashore, and placed in the custody of a responsible merchant, to be restored when the present difficultics in Kansas shall be settled. The arms were then produced from various parts of the boat, and proved to be Hull’s carbines, all loaded and with bayonets at- tached, Mot Weather at Boston. Boston, June 27, 1856.
