We have important newe by the arrival of the America at Halifax, with Liverpool dates to the 34 inst. three days later than those received by the City of Washington. Gur previous accounts of the British operations against Canton were to the 6th of November, when the bLembardment was suspended, to allow the Chinese time to respond to the demand for repara- tien for the outrages they had committed. It does not appear, however, that they availed themselves of ihe opportunity, as on the 12th the British at- tacked and captured the Bougne forte, at the entrasce of Canton river. During the progress of hostilities we find the United States frigate Portsmouth, which had previously landed a party of marines to assist in protecting the ladies and facto ries at Hong Kong, taking an active part; but the account of her participation extends n> further Aban a brief allusion to the fact that an American vessel was fired upon from a fort, and that the fri- gate immediately destroyed it, and notified the Chi- nese authorities that unless due atonement was made for the insult hostile operstions would be com- menced. The San Jacinto and Levant were on the pot to assist the Portsmouth. e Paris Congress re-assembled at Paris on the Sist ult. There was every indication of an amicable éjustment of all the questions in controversy be tween the powers represented. Hopes continued to be entertained that the diffi- eulty otween Prussia and Switzerland would be arranged without an appeal to arms; but there Gore pot appear any gool grounds for them. Our Minister had left Berne for Berlin, to tender his services towards a peacefal solu- tion of the question in dispute. The most rid s rumors were in circulation with regard to the a'd which the United States proposed to extend. Mcantime active preparations for war were going on on both sides, and the Prassian army was to advance on the th. It was rumored that a French army of sixty thousand, under Canrobert, would advance epon Gereva, and also that France and Austria had eome to an onderstanding to fogpe Switzerland toa conceesicn that her territory shall no longer afford pected to recover. Twenty-five persons altogether The extreme severity of the weather yesterday, distinguished as it was by high wind, drifting snow and intense cold, tended more or less te suspend business eperations, and particularly those usually conducted out of doors. Cotton was firm, bat sales were small, being confined to one or two hundred bales. Flour was firmer, and sold moderately at 5e. to 10c. above the prices current before the news last week. Wheat was held at 2c. to Sc. advance. Corn was firmer, with sales of Western mixed from store at T4c. a 75c. Pork was firm, at $21 for new mete, and $19 874 a $20 for old. No sales of sugars were reported. The market, however, was firm. ‘The anoual statement of sugars consumed in the United States for 1856, against those of 1855, (trom the shipping list), will be found in another column. Coffee was steady and quiet. Freights were ua- changed, while no engagements of importance trans- pired. x. Buchanan and the Office Beggars of the Democratic Party. The first trouble of Mr. Buchanan, the first day aiter entering the White House, to take the offi- cial chair left warm and vacant by poor Pierce, will be the trouble of the hungry office beggars ot the “fierce democracie.”” Their name is legion, and they will come upon him from all quarters, hopping and croaking, like the frogs of Egypt, from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof. For several montis. within doors and without, whether sitting or standing, or walking or riding, or eating or sleeping, hard will be the fate of poor Pierce’s successor; for the ravenous democratic stumpers, collectors and distributors of cash, speeches and documents, tide-waiters and what not. will be at the elbow of their anointed chief, clamorous for their expected re- ward. He may adopt his hours of reception, and his hours of seclusién; but by various devices and disgaises the impatient office hunter will reach him when least expected; and what is worse, thousands of them will positively refuse to take “No,”’ or even old clathes for an answer. To aggravate these office begging tortures, Mr. Buchanan will have at least an average of ten applicants for each office he can possibly vacate to accommodate his patriotic friends. Already there have been named not less than one hun- dred hopeful aspirants for the new Cabinet, of whom ninety-three must certainly be disap- pointed, let the new President do what he may. So with the smaller offices. Let us assume that there are two thousand of these really worth hay- ing, and that there will be twenty thousand patriotic, deserving, hopeful and hungry claim- ants for them; it follows, according to the simple tule of substraction, that should the two thousand incumbents be turned adritt to make room for the rapacious horde of outsiders, there will still remain eighteen thousand of the latter unsatisfied, disappointed, insulted, and ready for rebellion. But Mr. Buchanan will not have it in his power to vacate those two thousand desirable offices. Many of them are filled by good Buchanau democrats, and some others by capable, experi- enced and faithful officers—men of the two classes who cannot be turned out, or who cannot be spared. Probably where Fremont would have had a margin for office beggars of two thousand good places, Mr. Buchanan will fiod it excedwgly difficult to pick out two hundred officeholding enemies of himself and his party. What, then, is the President elect todo? In Van Buren’s day, Mr. Calhoun charged that the “unterrified democracy” were held together the “cohesive power of public pluader,” wai Marcy proclaimed it to the world taat “to victors belong the spoils,”” and upon both these points we know that the patriotic democracy are still a unit, however they may be cut up oa coa- stitutional and sectional abstractions. Wha , then, is Mr. Buchanan todo? The attempt .o humanity and common sense. unfortunate prejudices in favor of fair play, justice were defeated by this recusancy of the tional relations, that we are not to be fettered by the interested dogmas and effete theories of Euro- pean diplomatists. The divinity that hedges round the representatives of royalty in the Old World will, with us, be subjected to such modifi- cations as republican notions and interests de- mand. The Civis Romanus sum would indeed be a mere empty phrase, if, asserting the right to protect our citizens abroad, we should allow the extravagant doctrines of Eurcpean diplomatists to prevent our protecting their lives and proper- ties ai home. And yet such is the actual eff:ct of the on assumed by the Netherlands Mi- nister with the concurrence of his diplomatic col- leagues at Washington. This refusal of M. Dubois to give evidence in the Herbert case nes hitherto been regarded merely es a crotchet, in which he was justitied, if not by his conscience, at least by his diplomatic privileges. This position is a doubtful one, and even if correct, it raises the question whether we are bound to recognize rights on the part of fo- reigners which conflict so directly with our in- terests. In criminal prosecutions ow coastitu- tion gives to the accused the right of enforcing the attendance of witnesses whose evidence he may think beneficial to him, as well as of con- fronting those whose testimony may be adverse. To both these rights the Dutch Minister opposes certain personal immunities which he conceives to be sceured to him by treaty, and by his refusal to obey the process of our courts the ends of justice are defeated. Now it isa question wheth- er a treaty made by Congress with a foreign ate can override the provisions of the constitution. If it were so, the follies of our federal legislature might be continually pleaded in bar against the inalienable rights of our citizens, But admittiag, dietates the necessity of our surrounding the mand, it is evident that this necessity is frequent- ly strained to a point incensistent with the ideas and rights ef the nations to which they are ac- credited. Wedo not at present allude to the abeurd conflicts with national prejudices to which the rigid rules of European etiquette sometimes give rise. We ean afford to laugh at the coat and breeches controversies and the disputes about precedence which occasionally agitate the diplo- matie world. Our concern at present is with certain privileges claimed by foreign diplo- matists which conflict with the laws and rights of our citizens, as well as with the dictates of Of this character is the position assumed by M. Dubois, the Netherlands Minister, in refusing to appear and give evidence on the trial of Mr. Herbert for the murder of Keating, and in which he was backed up by his government. The mo- tive assigned for this refusal was that if he had submitted to an examination in court questions might have been put to him caleulated to wound his personal and official dignity. It is true that M. Dubois adopted a middle course, and offered to make a sworn declaration of the facts in the office of the Secretary of State; but as he ap- pears by his correspondence to be thoroughly posted up in American lawe, he must have been well aware that such testimony could not have been received on the trial. Such a course of proceeding may be very effective and very regu- lar ig @e Dutch colonies of the Judian archipela- go, (vide Captain Gibson,) but our citizens have which will not tolerate seeondary evidence of this eheracter. Now the manner in which the ends of Datch Minister, under a frivolous pretext, raises an important question in international law, which will have to be decided one of these days. We have shown by our example in the privateering controversy and other disputed points of interna- heretofore has been that the boat communication to Piermont. East river. in the matter, force, and when the mischief is before our eyes. As a stil! farther remedy for the ice nuisance, the Common Council, when it grants a ferry franchise, should insert a proviso obliging each company to have one or more iron ice boats to keep the ferry track clear. The companies pro- cure their franchises for almost nothing, and they are legally bound to take every means in their We see that the city government of Boston pays two steamers for running constantly in the harbor, to keep the power to accommodate the public. channel clear. As one of the veryfew:@ 9° where a city government is of anya) city, the Athenian sages deserve credit, that not only knows how to collect a revenue, but how to spend it for the benefit of the city. The wildest imagination, in its highest flight, would never hope fer anything of this kind from our city government. As it is now constituted no one would have apy power to do it alone, and the matter would be lost in some of the five hun- dred bureaux through which it would pass We can have the chain across the river, however, and hope for the iron ferry boats next winter. As business is not particularly brisk down town just now, the Chamber of Commerce might de- vote some time to the agitation of the subjest, preliminary to the agitation of the ice itself. Tur Immorat Drama.—There appears to be just now a great rage for what might be properly termed the immoral drama. In Paris plays after the style of La Dame aux Cumelias, are found the most attractive. The Empress weeps over Piccolc- mini’s representation of a consumptive prostitute with a high soprano voice, and of course every one with the slightest pretensions to respecta- bility imitates the lachrymal tribute of Engenie precisely as they adopt her expanse of crinoline. In London all Belgravia was likewise affected by the same cause; and in New York we find three of the principal theatres serving up the same dish, more or less spiced, according to the sup- pored appetites of the patrons and the ae of the manager. Lucrezia Borgia and the tore, the most popular operas here, have very im- proper words, and pretty nearly all the ac- tresses in the country are engaged in the pleasing mission of depicting the passions, the follies, th» vices, the wicked lives and the miserable deeth« of the lowest and most degraded of their sev. Such is the staple of the plays called “Camille, ’ “The Marble Heart,” “Fascination,” and several others, with the slight exception that in one or jury to the shipping is very severe. A plan has conrse; and as all the ice in our bay comes from that river, it follows that the harbor would be perfectly clear. The plan proposed is to run a cbain across the river at the narrowest point, near Fort Washington. The objection to this Erie Railway Company ran their boats for freight to Piermont; but, as the company now purpose building a new track and tunnelling Bergen Hill, they will no longer need their steam- The naviga- tion of the Hudson after the first of December is of very little consequence, certainly not to be compared with the injury to commerce caused by the ice from the river in New York bay and the Our paper to-day is filled with ac- counts of the damage done by this ice, and when the remedy is so easy it is stupid not to adopt it. Were our harbor kept clear of ice there would be nothing to retard our city from fulfilling its des- tiny and becoming the undisputed mistress of the entire foreign commerce of the Western world. We trust that this matter will be attended to in season, and now is precisely the season to move when the ice is upon us in its fall | a They have something like a city government—one quence of an insult to the American flag, the United States ship Portamouth had bom- bearded and destroyed a fort. The next step, we presume, will be the enforcement of satisfaction for the death of Mr. Cun- ningham. This announcement bears out the view which we took of the probable result of the English operations against Canton, the par- ticulars of which we published on Sunday. The Chinese have pushed their insolence and contempt must now give way before the measures necessi- side. ded? from these important events, we Wasnincton Party Orcans aNp THE Prixminé or Coneress.—The facts aud figures touching the party organs and the public printing at Washington, are strongly suggestive of two ‘or three things—First, that the amount of the printing plunder affords a temptation to spoils men which is difficult to resist; second, that it furnishes a basis of party and spoils corruptions highly pervicious to honest legislation, public morals and good government; third, that the mischievous influences of this parcellimg out the immense printing jobs of Congress to parti- zen tools, organs, whippers-in and managers, demand the timely intervention of Congress in behalf ot pubic economy, party decency and ho- nesty and public morals, and call for the establish- ment of a bureau of public printing, and a government printing office and bindery, to be attached to the Department of the Interior. In another view, every honest and discrimi- nating American, without regard to party asso- ciations, will concede that in separating the printing spoils at Washington from the party press, the last step will have been taken required to relieve the party press of the whole country from that overshadowing spoils corruption, buf- foonery, servility, toadyism and flunkeyism to Congress and the administration which are the distinguishing features of a Washington spoils organ. Establish a government printing office at Washington, and the newspapers there, thus driven from their dependence on the public plunder to individual subscriptions and adver- tisements of the reading and business community, will soon show a much desired improvement in the tone and character of their reading matter. ‘There will be room for an independent newspa- yer at Washington at once, upon the establish- mentof a government printing office; and one really independent, bold and enterprising daily journal in Washington, for one session of Con- gress, would be worth more (in the way of a re- formation among the spoilsmen, insiders and out- tated by their fool-hardiness and obstinacy. The example set by the English will, no doubt, be immediately followed up at Shanghai by the Americans, and the French squadron will also soon arrive, to compel the Emperor to compliance with their demands. With Can- ton in the hands of the British, Shanghai in pos- session of the. Americans and a French Ambas- sador on his way to Pekin, the doom of the Mant- chou dynasty is sealed. Russia will not be slow to avail herself of these opportunities to carry out the designs she has long entertained for the extension of her dominions on the other Internal anarchy will do the rest, and thus this unwieldy empire, so long condemned to bar- barism, will soon become a profitable theatre for Western enterprise, and a secure field for the la- bors of the Christian missionary. With China and Japan open to the commerce of the world, bere are no limits to the benefits which we may of foreign nations so far that no alternative is now left but to reduce them to reason by force.

Ryrie, arrived at this port at 6:16 P,M. las! (Sunday) evening, but owing to the telegraph line being down between St. John and Callais, we were unable to forward the news untf! this morning. The America was detained here by stress of weather and railed at balf-past eight this morning, with a strong east wind and a thick snow storm. It is doubtful if she will reach Boston before Wednesday morning. ‘The America experienced very heavy weather on the 4th inst. off Tusker.

The Collins steamship Atlantic, from New York, and the steamer City of Manchester, from Philadelphia arrived out at Liverpool on Japuary 1. The Amerioa left Liverpool on Saturday, the 3d instant, her advices are consequently three days later than those received by the City of Washington at New York. Tho news from Chiva is fully confirmed by the ar- rival of the overland mail in England. The Americans were also engaged in hostilities against the Chinese, the ehtp Portsmouth having destroyed a fort im consequence of an insult offered to the American flag. The Congress of Paris bad re-assembled and was pro- ceeding eatisfactorily. In the Liverpoo! cotton market a considerable advance on all qualities bad been established, the official quota- tions being +(d. higher than at the departure of tne Asia. ‘The sales of the lasttwo days amounted t 25,000 bales, of which speculators and exporters took 16,000, The Warket closed with « firm feeling. Breadstufls generally were stoady, at a slight advance for all descriptions ovr the prices current ai the close of the week preceding. The rise in wheat was equal to about 3d. per bushel.

This the Viceroy refused to do, and therefore on Ootover 24, the fire was opened on all the forts except one, abreast of which were twenty- three war junks, which a few days afterwards were engaged and destroved by the Barracents. Some of the forte were burned, and others were occupied by a detachment of the royal artillery One hundred and seveaty guns were «piked. Some days elapsed, but still the Viceroy would not apologise.
