There appears, however, to be no doubt of ite passage ultimately. Yesterday an un- successful attempt was made to force it through un- der the previous question. A lively debate ensued, and pending & motion to refer the subject to the Post Office Committee, the House went into com- mittee on the tariff, when the wool trade received considerable attention. The Genate yesterday passed the mew coinage bill, Im executive seasion the Central American treaty was again discussed. in conneetion with this sabject our readers are referred to a communication from Don Fermin Ferrer, the Nicaraguan Minister, protesting against this treaty, and setting forth at Jength his reasons therefor. ‘The repert that the steamer Cahawba had been run inte by a bark and lost her bowsprit and top- masts, was a mistake. It should have been stated that the steamer Conquest, spoken by the Cahawba, had been so run into and sustained damage. The Cahawba will sail for Havana and New Orleaas two days later than her usual time this trip, in conse- quence of the Black Warrior having been detained until Tuesday last. An adjourned meeting of segar makers and others opposed to the presen? system of convict la- bor was held at Union Hall, Bowery, last, evening. It was determined to hold a mass meeting in the Broadway Tabernacle, on Thursdsy evening next, for the purpose of effecting a thorough organization. Some indignation was expressed on account of a let- ter received from Attorney General 8S. B. Cushing, of this State, admitting that the teaching of new trades in the State prisons is illegal. The mechanics were incensed that he had not performed his duty and enforced the law. A report will be found else- where.

Snodgrass, Mr. Daniel Ullman, and Han- nah Conlan, a servant, All these persons, with the exception of the Misses Cunning- ham, have been examined, and they testify that they know nothing of the matter. The testimony, then, is from without the house— is for the most part fragmentary and unsatisfac- tory. It has, so far, proved only two important facts : first, that there wasa serious misunder- standing between Dr. Burdell and the other par- ties, Mrs, Cunningham and Eckel, and it does not appear that he had any difficulty with any other persons. There is a great mass of testimoay bearing on this point, which is really the most important in the case. It might show that they had a motive and no one else had one; but this mast be so clearly proved as to overthrow every other reasonable hypothesis, It is not necessary to show this fully at this point, and the testi- mony is quite sufficient to leave the impression on the mind that there was a bad state of feeling. Burdell told Stevens he feared for his life while in his own house; Mrs. Cunningham acknow- ledges to the difficulty about the note ; another witness swears that a policeman was called in to pothesis that it is the act of another party.

News from Constantinople confirms the state- ment of the concession of the Rastschuk-Saros Railway to Mr. Layard. It is said that Gen. Prim will be placed before a court martial in Spain. In the meantime menacing symploms of an impending vepublican outbreak appear on all sides{ in that eeuntry. Cotton was steady and breadstaffs dull in Liverpool. The public interest excited by the tragedy in Bond street bas in no degree diminished, after a Japee of six days. As the investigation proceeds the mystery attending Dr. Burdell’s murder thickens, and the theories formed in the firat in- mance ace one by one dispelled, or rendered doudt- Sal by the testimony produced. As will be seen by the direct official influence, one way or the other, of the new administration. The question then arises—what are the pecu- liar views of Mr. Buchanan on this treaty? and by whom have these views been most faithfully reflected in the Senate? Mr. Mason, of Virginia, Chairman on Foreign Relations, in a studied and elaborate speech advocated the ratification upon the basis of Mr. President Pierce's recommenda- tions. We have no doubt that in these views Mr. Mason was sustained by his colleague, Mr. Hunter, by the North and South Carolina Senators, and others of the Southern foreign- policy conservative school. But there is more numerous branch of the eburch, known as the Northwestern democracy, of which General Cases is the greater and Judge Douglas the lesser Ajax; and with this branch of the party the earliest possible rapture with Eag- land is the ruling idea.

It is shown by the evidence of Mrs. Cunningham, cor- roborated by Doctor Main, that Dr. Burdell left the house at five o'clock on the evening of Fri- dey. Mr. Roes testified yesterday that he was passing through Bond street to the Bowery on Friday night at about half past ten, and sawa man— wearing a shawl—who had preceded him a short distance, go into the house No. 31; the man opened the door with a latch key, and Mr. Ross heard the latch spring when the door was shut.

Mason, therefore, maybe said to represent the democratic states mensidp of the South, while Cass and Douglas are bat the advocates of the Buncombe democracy of the Northwest. General Scroggs loooks upon the Pope of Rome as the most deadly and dan- grrous enemy of our Union. Horace Greeley re- gards the “ Southern oligarchy,” and Barnwell Rhett the Northern abolitionists, in the same light: but with Cass and Douglas, the Pope, Southern slaveholders and Northern abolitionists are o!l emall potatoes compared with John Bull. As we had anticipated, therefore, Mr. Cass and Mr. Donglas are both reported in opposition to sified ery of “ Murder!” Many interesting points, ‘with reference to the nature of the intimacy of Mra. Cunningham and the deceased, were elucidated. But little, however, could be brought out that tended to fasten the coma isvion of the crime upon ita perpe- ‘trator. The testimony in the case of the Nicaraguan fili- basters crows interesting, though “that letter.” im- plicating President Pierce has not been admitted in evidence. The counsel for the defence, however, barge that Mr. Pierce owns one-twelfth of the thir ty millions of acres contained in the Mosquito grant. The evidence of Gen. Cazneau is well calculated to promote the canse of emigration to Nicaragua, and nis description of the fertility of the soil of Central America is shout the best advertisement that could be published to procure “ material aid " and some of the surplus none and sinew of the States. ‘The steamship Illinois, bound for Aspinwall, did not person was waiting in the room for the Doctor— that he was throttled immediately on entering, and then despatched with the knife. But these circumstances are only links in an imperfect chain of evidence. We must find out where the Doctor went at five o’clock, and we must ascer- tain what he was doing and in whose company he was during the evening. Then we have the alleged marriage of the Doctor and Mrs. Cunningham. She produces a certificate, and leaning her back against it, a serts ite genuineness. Mr. Eckel is supposed to have personated Burdell during the ceremony. Why has not the clergyman been confronted with Eckel? Still, she may be the lawful wife of Burdell, and yet be implicated in his murder. It appears by several witnesses that he always ‘Dr. D. G Spot pany London, were ‘members of uno Society.

We dare say, how- the Mayor under this new charter would ‘e in 8 position which may be best realized by sup- posing President Pierce to have no authority over Mesers. Guthrie and Jeff. Davis. But this is not all. The Mayor, it is true, would be entitled to appoint some other heads of derartments, by and with the consent and approval of the Board of Aldermen.
