The News. All sorts of rumors are afloat as to the composi- tion of the new Cabinet. The subject appears to ‘be as much mystified as it was a monthago The Jatest reports from Washington are given under the telegraphic head. Our correspondent gives a list of the Cabinet as it stood lest nigh’. ihere are, hewever,so many contingencies to be avoided or provided for that the sehedule may have been changed before sunrise this morning. Tae Presi- ent yesterday signified to the committee of the Senate appointed to wait upon him that he would send them a communication to-day; therefore we may be able to announce the names of the nominees ia our evening edition. Our Washington special vepert of the inauguration of President Buchanan, as well as that of the ball which ‘followed in the evening, is unavoidably crowded out. An addition has been made to the new tariff, whereby all goods remaining in store when the law goer into operation, will be subject onl, tothe duties Jevied under that law. The Assembly yesterday passed the bill providing fer the removal of the Quarantine. Nothing of im- portance was done in the Senate. We have four days later news from Earope, re- seived by the steamship Atlantic, which left Liver pool on the 18th ult.,and arrived at tiis port last evening. The intelligence, although not very im- portant, is Interesting. On the 16th ult. the E ope: ver Napoleon opened the session of the French Legislative Chambers with s speech from the throne, With the exception of a passing allusion to Neuchatel and Naples the address is entirely devoted to home matters. A new line of French transatlantic steam- ‘ere is to be established. France ‘s described as pros- perous,and bis Mojesty says he shal! not want any more money for the present. As regards the Neo- bate! question, he simply says be hopes sv0n fora watisfactory solution. With respect to Nip is government bad acted, with that of Queen Vi with “ good intentions’ The rest of the speech is a Philosophical disquisition on progress an! eviliza tien. Great excitement existed in Madrid from the exaggerated accounts published there of the mas- sacre of Spanish sul taint, jects in Mexico, and the govern- ment intends to fit outa powerful expedition to pro- seed from Cuba against that republic. Some of the papers express the hope that England and France wil) join Bpain in this matter, so as to prevent the United States from interfering, while others hop» the bonor will be left solely with Mexico. Ip England the nine pence additional income tax is to be taken off. The secret treaty affair was still mouch commented upon. The King of Prussia still endeavors to retain his severeign rights over the Neuchate! Principality. The report that Austria had addressed a violent note to Sardinia is contra dicted. The relations of the two States were still, bowever, snythiog but friendly. In Spain the elec- tions had ended without riots. The Queen had not left for Andalusia. The Emperor aad Empress of Austria were still at Milan, and becoming popular. They proceed to Vienna shortly, and thence to Hengary. The accounts from Hong Kong are merely con firmatory of previous advices. The Americans have mot taken further part in the Canton affair, bat Dr. Parker had iesned a cirenlar to reserve the rights of our countrymen. From Persia there ix no farther news. Bushire was fortified. An attack was anticipated, and large re- infercements were being sent to the gulf from India. Cotton was more qui Liver, Flour and preadstut™s dull, Consol The AWantic brought F180 S50 in mpecie. Advices from M nrovia, Liberia, te the 12th of Japnary, state that the natives had ottacked the eolonist« at Cape Pa'mas, and destroyed a large amennt of property, including two extensive villages situated at the verge of the Caps. The cause of th» difficulty ix not stated (ne of the colonists and sey. eral natives were killed. It ie alao reported that the Protestant Episcopal Mission schoo! houses, with the station at Mount Veugb, hid been torn down. They were in charge of Bishop Payne.

An account of the cruise of the Washington may Le found in another column. . We learn from Omaha Ci’y, under date of the 12th ult., that the closing s:enes of the Legislatare of Nebraska Terriiory were very exciting. The Popular voice had charged several members with corruption with respect to their votes on the pat- sage of some bank charters. In consequence, the Governor vetoed six charters #0 obtained. A crowd ofgrioters }u'rued the members accused to the offive ofjthe Territorial Secretary, and, disregarding all form"of7an investigating committee, attempted to inflict personal chastisement on one legislator. He threatened to shoot with a revolver in reply, when the, Secretary turned the whole batch into the street. Here the suspected members ran off and concealed themselves. The legislative session would close on the 13th of February. The Governor was completely bewildered by these occurrences. In the Board of Aldermen last evening a report from the special committee in favor of the proposed opening of a street west of and parallel with Broad- way was presented and ordered to be primted. As we have before stated, the contemplated improve- ment connects Greene and Church streets and Tri- nity place, thence extending tothe Bittery. A pe- tition was presented, urging the location of the Post Office upon the lower end of the Park. The sub- ject was referred to a special committee of five. The first lecture of Sir Wm. Boyd, on the distin- guished mea of Gieat Britain of the present day, which was to have been delivered last evening, was postponed on account of the weather. The literary world will be glad to ‘earn that the course will com- mence next Thureday evening positively, when this iateresting lecture will certainly be delivered, what- ever weather it may be. The Chamber of Commerce yesterday appointed committees to report as to the expediency of estab- lishing a weather observatory in this city; to memo- Tialise the Legislature on the subject of discriminat- ing in canal tolls; to use influence at Washington to s2cure the retention of the Post Office on its present site, and to extend the couriesies of the Chamber to the expected British Minister when he arrives. The Chamber, in accordance with the wishes of Mr. Grinnell, expressed a unanimous ooinion that a braneh hospital should be established at Sandy Hook or in the lower bay, exclusively for yellow fever patients, during the coming summer. ‘The cotton market was quite steady yesterday, with sales of about 3,000 bales. Flour was more active, and with more buoyancy in prices, expecially for common grades.

After the duty went into effect it was supposed the shipments would be light. Freighis were inactive, and engagements light, Exchange on France was casicr yesterday.

The holiday pageant—the music, the banners, the feasting and dancing of the inauguration, are over, and now the work, the rough and serious work of the new adm'nistration begins, Among the mere office seckers of the party the distribution of the spoils is of course considered dhe first and paramount duty of Mr. Buchanan; but whether Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones shall have this or that office, and whether Mr. Thompson or Mr. Brown shall first be tarned out of his fat place, are paltry and trifling questions in view of the grave responsibilities of the crisis, touch- ing our foreign and domestic affairs. That Mr. Buchanan has a proper appreciation of the heavy business before him is manifest from the practi- cal consideration which he has bestowed upon the great living issues of the day in his inaugural. Conspicuous in the foreground of these vital iesues is the Kansas question. Upon this isue Mr. Bucbanan has promised to every inhabitant of the Territory the full enjoyment of his consti- tutional rights. To make this promise goo’ the whole revolting border rufian policy of J’ and bis rufian confederates and subordinates in Kansas will have to be reversed; and this imperative duty will admit of no delay. To avoid a renewal of the late fearfal » of barbarism and bloody violenc? in Kansas the federal administration must = in terfere at ouce. The new Governor, in his honest endeavors in behalf of j aad fair play to all parties, must be sustained. Gen Cass, in the United States Senate, has pronounced there bogus Territorial laws unconetitational and a “disgrace to the eivilization of the age.” Accepting his appointment as Premier as the endorrement of this opinion by Mr. Buchanan, the American people will anticipate some cor- responding action on his part commensurate with the evils to be remedied and the exigencies of the case. Turning next to our foreign relations, there Is the Central American Dallas-Clarendon treaty awaiting upon the table of the Senate the views and suggestions of the new Executive—there is the new Mexi m awaiting in the State Department that calm and deliberate examina- tion which the new Cabinet will doubtless give it at an early day; and there is also the new commercial treaty with Persia, lately concluded by the ambassador of that country with our Minister at Constantinople —our nearest diplo- matic t to the Persian capital. Esch of tho-e treaties is an important measure, and each has its peculiarities, noveltics and extraordl nary stipulations. ‘The Central Ameriean con- vention is somewhat complicated, and is some thing of « joint protectorate with Eagland over the Central American States ; but, looking to the in- mould command our active sympathy. He is struggling against the long dominant and crush- ing despotism of & wealthy and powerful church. If he shall fail Mexico relapses into the anarchy of fighting revolutionary factions, from which her escape may be an European protector and master. The new treaty paves the way for an entirely Gifferent solution of this Mexican prob- Jem—a solution consistent with the fitness of things and with manifest destiny. Without in- volving to us the smallest hazards or the slightest inconvenience, it will secure to us the most de- sirable concessions and advantages, immediate and prospective. We trust, therefore, that this Mexican treaty and this Central American treaty will both receive, in some substantial form, the early and favorable attentionof Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet, for we have the most magnificent in- terests embodied in both, and they are, to a great extent, in both substantially the same, But there are already foreshadowed the ele- ments of a malignant and factious hostility to all these imdicated measures in reference to Kansas, to Mexico and io Nicaragua. This incipient hoe tility is not limited, neither, to the opposition camps. It is betraying itself through various disguises, among the Presidential aspirants, dis- organizing Southern fire-eaters and filibusters of It has been developed to the democratic camp. a great extent in the recent discussions of the Dallas-Clarendon treaty in the Senate; and upon Kansas, the Cabinet, the spoils and other parti- zan issues, this spirit of rebellion among the busy factions has been boldly preached for a month or two by various ambitious newspaper organs of the party, East, West and South. But against all forms of opposition, within the camp and without, from Northern abolitionists, Western filibusters, or Southern secession ultras— in reference, especially to Kansas, Mexico, or Central America—the duty of Mr. Buchanan is manifest. His general policy, indicated by his election, has been proclaimed through his inaugu- ral and adopted in his Cabinet. He has only, to follow up this good beginning with tHose practi- cal measures which our peace and prosperity, honor and glory, at home and abroad, demand. Among these measures we rank a thorough paci- fication of Kansar, and the treaties we have been discussing, and in each and all quick and de- cisive work will give an irresistible prestige of strength to the administration. The New Tariff, President Pierce's last official act was the sig- nature of the new tariff bill, which is now a law. As was to be expected, it bears marks upon its face of its compromise character,and of the haste with which it was hurried through Congress; but on the whole it is avery fair law, and will be acceptable to the people and the merchants, It may be described in one word as a regular reduction of all the duties now paid. Those who do business with abroad are aware that import- able commodities are now classed under nine heads, which pay duty as fellows respectively: 100 per cent, 40, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10,5,0. The alteration effected by the new tariff may be seen by the following table : Class or Schedule. 1856. of 1857. o Tarif of 1 Tarif a This table is not strictly correct, some of the echedules having been enlarged, while others have been curtailed; but in the main it will give an idea of the work done. A great number of formerly dutiable articles, including wool worth less than twenty cents per pound, fruits, spices, drugs, chemicals and dyestuffs are transferred to the free list. The iron makers and wool manufacturers made so fair a fight that the reduction in the duty on most kinds of manufactured woollens and irons is only six per cent, the tax being cut down from 30 to 24 per cent. This of course must only be regarded as the entering wedge. Now that the work of breaking down the manufactur- ing monopolies has begun, it is not likely to be stopped until the tariff is fairly adjusted to a mere revenue standard, and the nation emanci- pated from the taxation of the manufacturers, A year or two under the reduced duty will go far to convince the manufacturers themselves of the wisdom of such a policy. One of the best changes that have been made is ihe removal of seventy per cent duty from bran- dies and epirite. The hundred per cent duty was imposed on the principle that spiritaous liquors, being a luxury, ought to be heavily taxed. The facte seem to show that the people regard them as a neceseary of life; such a neces- vary, indeed, as no legal prohibition will suffice to exclude from universal use. Such being the case, the effect of the daty bas merely been to heighten the price of liquors; and the successive failures of the wine crops in France occurring si- multaneously, wholesome liquors have risen quite out of the reach of the poor. Vile poisons have Leen sold in their place—with such results as the least notion of toxicology will suggest. The people of the United States have been poisoning themselves deliberately for four or five years, ood brandy is not to be had, almost at any priee; and the workingmen, who are used to drink it and must have it, take vitriol and other corrosives under its name. The new tariff will have the effect of cheapening brandy about one half; eo that there is a prospect that the modo. rate consumers may be supplied with a whole- rome article at something between three and four dollars a gallon. Tt is estimated that the tariff will reduce the revenee about twenty millions of dollars. This would answer the purpose, especially as all goods warehoured between this date and the end of the fiscal year are to benefit by the tariff. But estimates of this kind are very liable to be wide of the mark. It would not be at all sur- prising— considering the prosperity of the coun- try, the systematic progress of agriculture in the West, the growth of our shipping and manufac- turing interests, and our means of internal com- wunication, and the strong prospect that the convulsion which the railroad schemes before us have rendered certain will not take place within a year or two—if our merchants s0 largely in- creased their orders for the fall that next year's terna! pacification of those States, to the develope- | receipts from duties were as heavy as those of | ment of their vast commerofal resources, and to | 1856. Already we note at this port an inorcase the superior interests of our Pacific communica- | of say sixty to seventy-five per cent : let this be tious by transit passages of Nicaragua and | maintained throughout the year, and hy the Hondures, it is to be hoped that no merely fag- | time Congress meete we shall need another ro- tious or filibnstering opposition will arrest the final ratifiontion of the treaty, or at least ite os: | sential stipulations in behalf of peace The same general considerations, and others nearer home, will apply to the now Mexican treaty, and the pressing necessities of the bank- rupt treasury of Gen, Comonfort’s government commerce and duction of the tariff.

Mr. Bo chan, in hie inaugural, epoake of “our children and ovr children’s children.” Siexs 1 1m Heavens A clear fourth of March, wind west; « cloudy fifth, wind southeast, Is Professor Manry abrowd? Hodson’s Bay Company, a nation which could heard him that we have not the least objection to any number of counterpoises of the kind he proposes. We suspect privately that the design to establish a “nation” on the territory of the Hudson's Bay Company will not be carried into effect within any startlingly brief period of time. There is a good deal of ice in that country, like- wise of snow, and frost; they have a month’s summer some years, some years they have two; there are several places—quite large places, eeveral acres in extent—where potatoes can be grown if they are ptt in on the right day, and whipped out in the nick of time. There is a good deal of rain, too, in that country; the rivers and lakes are apt to overflow in the spring, and wash away such odds and ends as houses and hay- stacks. Seven times, if our memory serves us, has every vestige of the Red River settlement been swept away by the flood; but for the pro- fuse aid it has received from England and Scot- land it would have been abandoned long since. The barren character of the soil is of less conse- quence, as there is no market for anything it might produce: the people won’t mind the failure of their grain crops, because if they succeeded, they could not do any thing with the harvest, and the rate would eat itin the end. But for tour or five months of the year it is hardly possi- ble to get out of one’s house; this must bea drawback to national enterprise and prosperity. If, notwithstanding these trifling obstacles, Mr. Roebuck can stiH realize the Earl of Selkirk’s dream, and rear a nation on the territory of the Hudgon’s Bay, we can only say for our part that we shall be glad to see it, It cannot hurt the United States; and, during the thaws, we may drive a good business with its people. We have Jearnt on this continent what they are learning in Europe, namely, that one nation cannot prosper without benefitting its neighbors: Mr. Roebuck’s hyperborean empire would be a clear gain to us. As to the other question—that pending between the people of Canada on the one side and the Hudson’s Bay Company on the other— the former opposing the renewal of the latter's charter—it seems beyond doubt that the Canadians will carry their point. The Hud- son’s Bay Company is the last eurvivor of the old trading companies which once held all this continent in their grasp; and which, with the mean selfishness of mercantile spirit, did their best to ruin it. Political events in England, and the progress of population here broke up most of the companies before they had had time to do much mischief; a few survived, to die out igno- miniously, often atoning for past wrongs by a submission to spoliation; the Hudson’s Bay Company survives. For years it has been highly Profitable, and admirably managed. Though its chief office is in London, it is mainly owned by Scotchmen ; the rule of the service is that after a given number of years work every employ¢ or factor becomes a partner in the company; thus at the present time most of the stock is held by old company’s servants, who have paid for it out of their salaries. This concern owns a terri- tory larger than the settled portion of the United States. ‘The inctors of the company and the chief, Sir George Simpson, are generally accused of in- human cruelty to the Indians and halfbreeds reeiding within the territory. No doubt the government of John Company is no Roi fainéant ; in the forest and the wilderness law is laxly administered, and a bullet is often the only penalty which can be safely decreed and inflicted. But this is the minor question. The more im- portant one relates to the dominion of and juris- diction over the vast extent of country lying be- tween Canada and the Polar Archipelago. This the Canadians claim as a necessary part of their territory, and as essential to their safety. It seems difficult to contest the Canadian position. It can- nat be pretended that the Hudson's Bay people have made apy good use of the country coufided to them; for it is now as desert or more desert than it was two hundred years ago; and notwith- slanding the bishops and clergy that have been imported from time to time from Eagland and Scotland, the only real religion in the country is the Roman Catholic : they have in fact done no- thing but make money out of it, without a single apparent thought for the ultimate benefit either of the country or of the people. If anything can be done with a tract so apparently blighted by Heaven, the Canadians, who have no interests beyond this continent, are much more likely to find it out and do it than these Scoteh merchants. We therefore presume that they will carry their point and that in a year or two Canada will ex- tend to Lancaster Sound, if the Canadians like, and that the Hudson’s Bay Company will be among the things of the past. A New Sovrnenn Onoas at Ricnwonp.—Mr. Pryor, late of the Richmond Zngwirer, has Issued a prospectus for a new paper in that city, to be called Zhe Soulh--a paper which, as its title indicates, is to be a purely Southern seo- tional organ.
