The screw steamship Emeu arrived yester- day morning and the Atlantic in the afternoon. The Emeu left Havre at 2:45 P. M. on the 22d ult., and arrived at her dock in this port at 11 A. M., her point of departure being ninety miles further from ‘New York than Liverpool. The Atlantic left Liver- pool at half-past 1 q’clock P. M. on the 23d ult., and reached her dock here at half-past 4 P. M., leaving only an interval of six hours between the arrival of the two vessels. The proposals for the settlement of the Central American question made to the British government by Mr. Dallas had transpired in England through the medium of the London Times, and had given general satisfaction. They may be briefly summed up as follows:— San Juan to become a free port under the sove reignty of Nicaragua; the Mosquito Indiaus to be concentrated on a territory clearly defined as to ex tent, and an anuual pension to be paid to their chiefs; England to restore Island Bay to the State of Hon- duras; Belize to remain in possession of the English, with the same limits as im 1560; lastly, a portien of territory to be taken across Central America in order to establish a communication between the two oceans. In another column will be found some interesting remarks from the Times on the subject of these pro- positions. It will be recollected that we anticipated these facts twe or three weeks ago. The chief feature of interest in the news is the critical position to which the liberal party have been brought in Spain by the success of the receat coup d'état on the part of the Queen, or rather of the Christina camarilla, aided by the treachery of O'Donnell. It appears that the latter, in order to farther the objects of the conspiracy, had concen- trated about 15,000 troops in Madrid, with whom, after thirty hours’ desperate resistance, he succeed ed in disarming the citizens and National Gaard It was reported that Espartero had been arrested in the capital; but the ramor requires confir- mation. In Arragon the popular party were victorious, and the revolution was certain to acquire strength from the fact that a legal quorum of the Cortes had aseembled at Saragossa and proclaimed the constitation. Another circum- stance which was likely to aid the popular cause was the fact that a convoy of 13,(0),000 francs, from the Credit Mobilier, which had entered Spain pre- vious to the news of the insurrection being received in Prance, would have to pars throngh the district in which the liberals were in greatest force. The exiled Chris‘ inos, with Narvaez at their head, wer, hastening from Paris to the frontiers, and the Frencls Emperor had ordered a force of fifty thousand caval ry to assemble on the frontier as a measure of pre castion. For further comments on the Spanish news we refer our readers to our editorial colamns. In financial and commercial affairs there is not!- img perticuiarly striking to note. Conaols closed at 954. The cotton and breadstaff markets had expe rienced no change of importance. Provisions were a trifle more active. We have files from Bermuda to the 22d ultimo. ‘The papers contain no news except as regards the movements of a portion of the British West India fleet and some few news items from the other islands. Quite a riotous scene had occurred in the Legislative Assembly of St. Vincent. We have advices from Anstralia (Melbourne) to the 27th of April, being one day later. The Mel- bourne Argus says :—Gold remains at £3 16s. per ounce, with very little doing. The entries for ex port passed to-day (evening of the 26th) at the Cus toms amounted to 1,350 ounces only, of which 1,340 ounces were for Liverpool. Two vessels cleared oat for England, with shipments of the metal—one for London, with 2,017 ounces, and one for Liverpool, with 37,784 ounces of gold and 2,100 sovereigns. The banks shipped 37,000 ounces for Liverpool. In the Board of Supervisors last evening a com- munication was received from one of the clerks of the Street Department, charging dereliction of duty mm the part of the Comptroller. The matter was re- ferred to a special committee. In the Board of Aldermen several nominations made by Harry Howard, the Receiver of Taxes, were concurred in, as ueaal, by a sweeping majority, which shows that the Board has confidence in the ex-Alderman’s selections for Wis department. A communication wae received from Street Commis sdoner Taylor respecting the recent injunction obtain- €@ by the Corporation Counsel in relation to the an- for the Central Park. Mr. Taylor sag: geste that the matter be referred toa committee, to report as to the disbandment of the commission, or the nt of its active daties until the m: ing of ‘he Legislature. It was accordingly refe: The Board resolved to meet every evening, exce Saterday and Sunday, until they get through their anal sitting. ‘The bill of Stephen H. Branch occupied the time of the Poard of Counei)men last evening. and was finally rejected by @ majority of three. A reconsi- dervation will probably be moved this evening, whoa The Board of Health met yesterday, and after some discussion resolved to hold open sessions. It was announced that the money appropriated for cleaning the streets was exhausted within but oue hundred dollars. A committee was appointed to re- port a plan to meet this exigency and insure durmg the hot weather a proper cleanliness of the streets, as required for the safety of the public health. A few bone boiling and slaughter house nuisances were referred to a committee for investigation. We refer to our despatches under the telegraphic head for reports of the proceedings in Congress yes- terday. The United States steam frigate Minnesota ar- rived at Philadelphia from Washington yesterday, to receive her equipments, stores, &c., preparatory to her departure for the Mediterranean. The Coroner's jury in the case of the steamer Empire S tate rendered their verdict yesterday. They conclude by stating that the accident is to be regarded as ‘“‘one of those unforeseen casualties in- cident to steamboat travel, and for which no person can be held accountable.” The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 800 a 1,000 bales, the market closing without change in prices. Flour was in good demand, with more doing, at about Saturday's rates. Wheat was firm for choice lots of new, and sales of new Southern white were made at $1 85 a $1864, and of mixed do. at at$174. Canadian and Western low and mediam grades were rather easier. Sound Western mixed corn advanced to 66c. a 664c., for export. Rye was quite firm at 85e.a 86c. Pork was higher and more active, with sales of 1,200 a 1,500 bbls., imcluding mess at $20 224 a $20 25, and prime as high as $18. Sugars and coffee were quiet and without change to notice in prices. Freights to Liverpool were stiffer, with a fair amount of engagements in grain and flour. The Kansas-Nebraska Bill—The False and the True History of the Case. We transfer to our columns this morning a characteristic bit of sophistry from the Journal of Commerce on “ Kansas affairs.” In this extract the reader will mark that the whole of the troubles of Kansas, resulting from the repeal of the Missouri compromise, are chargeable to the Northern Emigrant Aid societies, and to a con- spiracy among our Northern anti-slavery agita- tors to get up a flaming and overwhelming sec- tional struggle upon the issue whether Kansas shall be a free State or a slave State. This shal- low and fictitious view of the subject is the stereotyped argument of our modern nigger- driving and secession democratic journals; and our Wall street cotemporary, with the aid of Martin Van Buren, is only repeating the old story of Mr. Pierce’s organ at Washington, and of Mr. Buchanan's organ, under the care of Col. Forney, at Philadelphia. It is a singular thing, however, in the midst of the many strange and wonderful political trans- mogrifications of parties and of men of these lat- ter days, to find that the only metropolitan com- mercial journal of the Northern States, with any pretensions to respectability, now engaged in the service of, Buchanay, Forney, and the secession democracy, is the identical paper which was established in this city as the pioneer of abolitionism. We mean exactly what y. The Journal of Commerce was set up as neer organ of abolitionism by Arthur an & Co., and if we are not mistaken, one principal abolition editors in the outset was a Virginia gentleman, of the name of Maxwell. The changes which the paper has since under- gone are as remarkable as the geological stratifi- cations of the shaft of a coal mine a thousand feet below the earth's surface; fo: our persevering cotemporary, setting out with the dry diggings of negro emancipation, has at length strack into a forty foot vein of Breckinridge coal, as deve- loped in the chart of the Cincinnati Convention, and in Governor Wise’s discoveries in reference to the election of Mr. Buchanan and the price of niggers. ‘ Hence this miserable apology of our Wall street cotemporary in behalf of Mr. Pierce, the squatter sovereignty of Kansas, and the seces- sion democracy. Had the Northern Aid societies and Northern emigrants kept clear of Kansas, all would have gone on there well enough. Such is the substance of this labored and pitiful apology for the bloody despotism which has lorded it over Kansas since the passage of the Nebraska bill. But, admitting that this bill was a consti- onal act, repealing an act which was not con- al: admit that the doctrine of squatter vignty—* this stump specch,”’ as Benton calls ‘thrust into the belly of the bill’—provided fora fair determination of the slavery question in Kansas by the people thereof, what are the facts? The first steps taken to determine the des tiny of Kaneas, after the passage of the bill, were taken by the administration. and in opposi- tion to the introduction of slavery. It is an imlisputable fact that Mr. Pierce, through the influence of Mr. Forney and other friends of Mr. Buchanan, appointed Mr. Reeder. of Pennsylvania, the first Governor of Kansas. It is well known that Governor Reeder and his kitchen cabinet, and other speculating associates, went largely into the business of land specula- tions in Kaneas; and that, looking to the protits of these enterprises, they did all they could quietly do to encourage the emigration into Kaa- eas of free soil settlers, It needs no argument here to show that town plots and mill seats ina new Territory are more likely to find a good market and high prices from large colonies of free soil white squatters than from a «parsely settled community of slaveholders. As a simple speculation, therefore, the original policy of Gov Reeder in Kansas was to encourage Northern and to discourage Southern emigration into Kansas We know that this policy wae connived at by the President of the United States, and that to this extemt he was cheating the South, while holding out to them the fairest promises o” Southern success under the Kansas Nebraska bill. What next? Governor Reeder’s policy was de- tected by the pro-slavery party in Kansas, and his removal was demanded by Mr. Atchison and the ultras of the South. They must be appeased. There wae no alternative to Mr. Pierce than right about face.” Tle attempted to compres this removal by a resignation. He tried to frighten Reeder—the latter being on an offictal vieit to Washingtom-—from returning to Kansas ; he begged him to resign, and at last offered him he bribe of a foreign mission to give ap his office as Governor of Kanses. Reeder sald ‘No,’ ail the time “No.” Our amiable President then told the Governor, after approving all that lg bag NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1856. Cone, that he must be dismissed, and woul m si probably be turned out on account of his land speculations! ‘These are sworn facts, and though they place our chief magistrate in a mos! de- grading light before the world, we cannot help it. On the contrary, our sense of duty to the publi: compels us to keep these facts in the public rc- membrance. They relate to the present admbis- tration of the government, and should not be overlooked in reference to the administration which is to follow. The itext move of Mr. Pierce to conciliate Mr. Atchison, the border ruffians and the secession democracy, was the selection as Governor of Kansas, of Mr. Shannen, of Ohio; but this experi- ment having also failed, we-now find ourunhappy President falling back again upon Pennsylvania, nthe appointment of Mr. Geary, a gentleman whe has had some knowledge of the democracy of California, as managed in these latter days, until suddenly interrupted by the San Francisco Vigi- ‘ance Committee. Thus having cited the landmarks which ran through the affairs of Kansas from the appoint- ment of Reeder to the present day, it is easy to see that the whole of these border ruffian troubles in the Territory, and the whole of this malignant excitement throughout the country, are justly at- tributable to this weak, vacillating and truck- ling administration at Washington, and to its dirty little tricks for Northern, Western, and es- pecially for Southern votes at the Cincimnati Convention, This is history, and “history is phi- losophy teaching by example.” Returning to the abstract question of popular sovereignty in the Territories—the theory may be very fine; but like the theory of the Declara- tion of Independence, that “all men are created equal,’ when we come to apply it practically, it is susceptible of various exceptions and modifications. Theory is one thing, and practice is another. The platitudes and pettifogging of Martin Van Buren upon the constitutional interpretation of the Kan- sas-Nebraska bill may all be very well in their way; but the actual working of that bill shows usthat “the stump speech of squatter sovereignty in its belly,” will not settle the slavery question. We want something broader and stronger, and more definite. In fact, the existing sectional agitation upon slavery can only be settled by fall- ing back upon the good old plan of the constitu- tion—the plan of checks and balances, which runs through almost every clause of that instru- ment, and which is particularly conspicuous upon the slavery question. ‘ - The true plan, then, is to adhere to the policy of the constitution, in some new treaty or com- pact between the two sections, whereby the South shall be secured at least an equilibrium of repre- sentation in the United States Senate. In this view, let Kansas be admitted asa slave State, and hereafter, with the admission of every new free State let it be understood that a new slave State is to come in, side by side, and harmony may yet be restored and the Union perpetuated for contu- ries to come. The Kansas-Nebraska bill has been proved by practice, and admitted by its authors to be ahumbug and a cheat; and Mr. Buchanan and the nigger driving democracy, in still ad- hering to it, are only stultifying themselves, and, with their rotten fabric of border ruffianism they must fall to the ground. Finally, we say to our Wall street coteurporang. (the pioneer abolition organ in the United States), Douglas does provide for the conversion of Kan- sas Into a slave State—that this is the intent and expectation of Mr. Toombs, with the free consent of Mr. Douglas, and that we are in favor of the passage of the bill, for this very reason, that it will give Kansas to the South. Will the Jowrna! of Commerce support a distinet proposition for the admission of Kansas as a slave State? Don’t persist any longer in the vain attempt to carry water on both shoulders. Kansas must be white or black. Which horse does Mr. Buchanan ride ! Out with it.

News from Europe—Progress of the Re- volution tn Spain. "The advices from Spain, brought by the At- fantic, leave the issue of the contest between the partizans of O'Donnell and Espartero in as great uncertainty as ever. As the telegraphic lines are in the hands of the government, it is impos- sible toarrive at anything like a correct estimate of the chances of the insurrection. Of its formid- able character, some idea may, hewever, be formed from the fact that although O’Donnell had concentrated 18,000 troops in Madrid, in antici- pation of the revolt, it was not until after thirty hours hard fighting that the National Guards and citizens surrendered their arms. This circum- stance would in itself be sufficient to demonstrate the strength of the popular indignation against the Court; but it assumes still greater gravity from the fact that at Saragossa, the headquarters of Espartero’s friends, a victory had been gained over the garrison, and a sort of legal sanction had been given to the revolution by the assem- blage in that city ofa quorum of the Cortes, who proclaimed liberty and the constitution, or in other words, we suppose, the dethronement of [sa- bella and the declaration of a republic... There is no other isene to which the present movement onthe part of the Spanish people points, The language of Escosura in the Chambers, which immediately led to the conflict between the two parties, was but the expression of what has long been fermenting in the popular heart, and which would have long since burst through all restraints but for the moderation, or we should rather say, the timidity of Espartero, It is well known that for the last few months the adherents of the court have been secretly di- recting all their energies to the preparation of another coup d'état, with a view to re-establish the old corrupt influences which have proved the curse and ruin of Spaiv. O'Donnell, than whom a weaker or more venal politician does not exist. although he is a gallant soldier, was induced to listen to the offers of the Christinites, and to lend himself to the plans ofthe Paris Camarilla, thus betraying at once the glorious cause in which he so lately drew his sword, and the chief to whom he owes his honors and advancement in life. It isthe misfortune of Espartero that his honesty and singleness of purpose should not be accom- panied by a juster appreciation of the characters and motives of the men with whom he is brought into association. Once he gives his confidence he gives it entirely, and thus it was that, though repeatedly warned of the double game that O'Donnell was playing, he suffered him- self to be taken by surprise and made the victim of a plot for which the pre- parations of his Judas colleague had been carefully matured, so as toenable the latter to repress at once the popular sympathies of the capital. It is said, even, that the Duke of Victory carried this unpardonable blindness to such an extent as to suffer himself to be arrested in Ma- drid, although he must have had abundant oppor- tunities of withdrawing in safety, between the time of his resignation and the suppression of the revolt in the capital. To allow his oppo- nents to seize upon his person was in some de- gree to render them masters of the situation. The report of his arrest, however, has still to be con- firmed. It may merely be a ruse of the govern- ment to discourage his supporters in the pro- vinees, Asa natural consequence of the partial suc- geoses of the government, .sarvaez and the other adherents of Christiaa, who had been exiled to France, are hastening like hungering wolves and birds of prey to the frontiers, The smell of blood is too strong a lure to the leeches who have so long fattened and rioted upon the miseries of their country, to allow them to await patient- ly the issue of the struggle. They will enter Spain as soon as they think they can find a safe passage to Madrid, there to aid by their vin- dictive counsels and evil presence the re-estab- lishment of a military despotism. The move- ment of a French army of observation to the frontiers has also its eignificance. It looks as if Louis Napoleon were about to carry out the in- tentions long attributed to bim, of pursuing his uncle's abortive policy in the Iberiau penin- rule. All these designs, hov ever long matured and cunningly planned as tl y seem to have been, will in all probability be defeated. The Spanish people, although they yielled a temporary obe- dience to the moderate counsels of Expartero and consented to renew the experiment of a con- stitutional monarchy, have ev 1 no great fait in its success. For months past they hav the fatal influences of the old Camarilla again concentrating themselves round the court, and a conviction fixed itself upon the minds of all that the struggle had yet to be made which was to give free institutions to the country. The coa- dact of O'Donnell has long been suspiciously watched, and the- result bas proved that his ho- nesty was not equal to the temptations to which he was exposed. His treason has, for the mo- ment, given success to the court party, but the resolute stand made by the liberals in the provinces induces the belief that it will only be temporary. It is true that the army thus far has sided with the government; but the recent expe- rience of one of Spain's former dependencies has shown that, with a combined and determined will ‘on the part of the people, both the army and the church may be rendered powerless instruments in the hands of despotism. Besides, we have yet to learn how much of these alleged advantages of the Spanish government are authentic. All the regular modes of communication being controlled by it, we must make a large allowance for the exaggerations and perversions of fact which con- stitute eo important a feature of Spanish tactics. With the example of Mexico before their eyes, it is to be hoped that the Spanish people will suc- ceed in crushing out the unnatural and withering tyranny which hae rendered their once proud name a byword amongst nations, and made of their beautiful country almost a howling wilder- nese, Cannace StatesmeN.—In the late terrific letter of Live Oak George Law on Millard Fillmore, alias Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs, we are told that “when the reciprocity treaty presented by the British government was under consideration, Mr. Fillmore observed that he saw nothing in it that was seriously objectionable on his part, exeept the word ‘vegetables’ being in the list of free articles. He made a note to strike that out, as it might interfere with the sale of vegetables in the Buffalo market. And thie re- servation is noted in his own handwriting with red ink, in the original draft preserved in the State Department at Washington.” Mark that. Live Oak George refers to the proof on file, in “ ped ink,’ “ original draft,’ Fillmore’s « own handwriting, in the State Department.” Read farther what Live Oak George says upon this oint:— ' Dow, then, with @ mind like this at the head of gag government, that could see Oulsid. of a Bailalo | garden or the Buflalo mae woarket, bow was the treaty to be negotiated—invoiving, ag it vid, the at in ereets of reciprocity tu wade between che Uni Lr and the British North American emai. rs bracing an ares of millions of square miles, and all the vast and varied interests embraced in it? Of course nothing could be done ca a sudject so large as th» reci- proc'ty treaty with a mind sosmall as tho President's, and the Secretary of State gave it up in disgust. and left it for his successor to arrange. This, then, accounts for the failure of the re- ciprocify treaty under Mr. Pillmore’s administra- tion, and its transfer to Marey,who put it through: Between a patch on his breeches and a “ Buffalo garden patch” Marcy could see the distinction ata glance ; and so he adopted the treaty, and that, too, without the slightest detriment to the Buffalo “ cabbage market.” Let us clear out all such little cabbage statesmen as Messrs, Scroggs and Fillmore, “who can see nothing outside of a Buffalo garden patch,” except the dissolution of the Union in the event of their defeat for the Presidency. Names in this day are nothing; for if “Live Oak George” himself has been laid up in ordinary, what can we expect for Millard Fill- more or Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs? Tar Newsparer Press anp THE PRESIDENCY. —We, gave some time ago a statement of the newspapers received at this office, with their po- litical preferences and their circulation; with the design of showing the tendency and progress of public sentiment since the nominations. This publication created a great deal of controversy among the factions opposed to the side which its result seemed to favor. Its accuracy was dis- puted and it was broadly stated that newspaper cireylation or professions were not an infallible test of public opinion on political questions. We never said that they were; the only infallible test we know of is a free election. But at the com- mencement of a comprehensive canvass, like the present, with three candidates in the field drum- ming up recruits from the fag ends of all the old parties and forming new party organizations, the character and tone of the newspaper press form certainly a strong indication of public opinion and the tendency of men’s minds; particularly as three months have yet to elapse before the election takes place. Since that publication was made, we have been collecting statistics on the press and the Presi- dency of a more comprehensive and accurate character: but with the exception of the three great Northern States in which the result has been said to be doubtful, and a rough general aggregate, our tables are not yet far enough ad- vanced to be fit for the public eye. In anticipa- tion of the whole statement, however, we pre- sent to-day in another column, a brief sketch of this portion of the work. It will be seen that on a rough calculation of the whole press throughout the country the inte- rests of the several candidates compare as fol- lows:— Tapers. Circulation, Fremont, 321 666,952 Pucbanap zat 415,193 Fillmore, na 167,771 It will be noticed that Fremont lacks a few journals to have as many as his two rivals to- gether; but that the readers of his journals are considerably more than as many as the readers of the Buchanan and Fillmore papers together. Passing to the geparate States it will be seen that in this State Fremont has 54 papers against Buchanan 31 and Fillmore 12; and that the com- parison of the circulation of these is in the same ratio. In Pennsy*vania, the eulidates compure as followe:— Papers. — Cigculation. Fremont, 63 111,860 Puchapat my 16,400 Fillmor 36 80,450 Fremont has more than double the number of newspapers with three times the circulation of the Buchanan journals in Mr. Buchanan's State Jn Illinois, Fremont counts 76 papers with a cir- culation of 66,616, against Buchanan 54, with a circulation of 35.550, and Mr. Fillmore 2, with 750 subscribers each. All the other States of the North are usually given to Fremont. It is taken for granted that he will carry them. The three States whose sta- tisticsare given above are the only ones which the friends of Buchanan or Fillmore have consi- dered doubtful. If in the the course of the. six weeks which have clapsed since the nomination of Col. Fremont he has already contrived so far as this to outstrip his competitors, and to have at- tained such a position in the newspaper press, it is plain he must possess a popularity of such vast magnitude and growing extent that he will easily outstrip them all three months to come. We have witnested nine Presidential elections since 1820, and we do not remember one in which a candidate that was taken up for the first time made such wonderful progress as Col. Fremont has done within the past six or seven weeks. Generel Jackson was eight years a candidate be- fore be was elected. General Harrison was also eight years before the public, and was defeated on the first trial. General Taylor was nearly four years conspicuously before the people before he seized hold of the public mind. No candidate, no man ever made such progress in so brief a period, as Col. John C. Fremont has done: arguing from the past, there is hardly anything which we may not expect of him for the future. According to present appearances, he will sweep every North- ern and Western State, by an unprecedented majority and will poll a vote in the South that will astonish the Southern politicians. Potrricat, Fossi. Remarss.—One of the most amusing features of the present revolutionary era is the resurrection of old party hacks who turn up from time to time and declare themselves in favor of other hacks. From Maryland alone we have the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, Senator Pratt and Senator Pearce, all of whom are out with long arguments in favor of Buchanan. These gentlemen are fossil remains of the old whig party, and thorough old women in breeches. They have none of the youth, the enthusiasm, the spirit which marks this age. They are strangers to it and they turned from the intelligent vivid movement which is carrying Fremont forward t join in the funeral procession in honor of the old bachelor who tossed his shins in Pennsylvania. New Jounnars ox Tue Tarts. —There are mor new journals undergoing incubation. We hea of one to be started by Wall street men, with no end of capital, for the purpose of puffing their stocks. This is a fine idea, and we hope it will be carried out. But we hear nothing more of Mr. Robert J. Walker or the journal which he was to father. What has happened? Has there been any trouble’—any hang back about the mo- ney? We hope not; for the time for the estab- lishment of such an organ is passing away. It is melancholy to think that in the metropolis of the Union the great democratic party should have no other quotable organ but the Journal of Commerce which was established, as is known, for the furtherance of abolition, and the suppression of theatzigal advertisements. nen aisttnemeet “ee oF THe Question, Cuivarny—-Tue Ta —There is considerab\: y wmong the cham- pions of the code of hr the real state o& the question between M: + copes and South Ga. rolina, It is adifficuli wie'icr » determine. ‘The last step was the return of Brooks to the Flouse in which he quietly took hjs seat: Mr. Burlingame his antagonist being at present in the West mak- ing stump speeches.
