Oar telegraphic despatch from Washington gives the particulars of an interesting interview held yesterday with the President, by John Cochrane and otber New York politicians. Mr. Buchanan is im favor of “ rotation;” so the ins and the outs may set their traps accordingly. Ohiet Justice Taney yesterday delivered the de- eision ef tee United States Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case. The main points of the opision en this very important subject are given under the telegraphic head.

We have three days liter news from Europe, brought by the steamship Persia, which left Liver- pool on the morning of the 21st uit, and arrived at ber dock yesterday afternoon.

They reported ice very thick between Albany and Red Hook, the river closed at different points all the way down tothe city. The rain of Thursday night doubtless had a gooi effect, and The Court of Sessions disposed of a large number of petty criminal cases yesterday. It is said that Mrs. Cunningham and John J. Eckel will plead at the Special Sessions during the present month. The Board of Councilmen met last evening, but save the passage ofa large number of bills relative to regulating streets, no important public business was transacted. Mr. Brady moved the appointment of a special committee to inquire into the alleged disorderly conduct of certain members of the Board at the Washington Birthday Bangnet, held at the Metropolitan Hotel, but after a long and exciting debate the motion was lost by a vote of 32 to 16. The European news to band by the Atlantic and Persia bad @ depressing influence on the cotton market yester- day, and sales of about 4,000 bales were made, chiefly in tranaitu, at prices which indicated a decline of about 140. per Ib. below the extreme high rates current in the fore part of the week. The Persia having been tele- sraphed early in the forenoon checked sales of flour, which closed dull at the previous day’s prices, with moderate sales. Wheat was in fair do mand, with sales of Southern white at $1 73, Mimsouri red at $1 562 a $1 64, and common Wes- tern do, at $1 463;.

To other ports rates were quiet and quotations unchanged. Hostility to the New Administration—The Slavery Agitation to be Revived, With the inauguration of Mr. Buchanan the slavery battle of the sections is revived. The republican journals of this city and Albany have opened their batteries against the inaugural as the fall endorsement of the pro slavery doo- trines of the Southern fire-eaters, and of poor Pierce's whole programme of border ruffianism. Upen this iseue, thus made up, all the anti- slavery forces of the North will soon be rallied in the Northern war against the new adminis tration. From the South, the New Orleans Delia, the special trumpeter of the Jefferson Davis se- cession clique, leads off with the suggestive prophecy that the appointment of General Cass will be productive of nothing bat misfortuoes to the administration. Other Southwestern organs of the secession school warned Mr. Bachanan some time ago that the appointment of Mr. Cobb to the Cabinet would be an intolerable outrage upon the Southera State rights democracy. Before a fortnight is over we may expect, both in the discussion of the inaugural and the Cabinet, the evidences of disaffection and rebellion here, there and everywhere throughout the Southern ultra democratic camp. Thus, at the outset we have distinctly fore- shadowed a general war against the administra- tion by the combined anti-slavery factions of the North, and the organization of a revolutionary nucleus in the Southern wing of the democratic army, upon the desperate policy of rule or ruia. The Northern anti-slavery opposition will be against the new government, as a pro-slavery border roffian establishment that has slipped into power upon false pretences; and the mutiny within the Southern party camp will be directed against Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet as a treacherous anti-slavery combination. With this beginning, whatever Mr. Buchanan ay do,or fail todo, in reference to Kansas affairs, the slavery agitation will be soon lashed again into fury: and by the year 1860 we shall have a more sharply defined sectional reconstruc tion of parties than in 1556, and a more doubt- fal issue concerning the stability of the U. Meantime these gathering elements of sectional opposilion, agitation and discord are the strong- est possible evidenecs t the principles which have governed Mr. Buchanan in the choice of hie Cabinet, aad in the voice of bis inaugural, mark out, as between the rocks and the whirlpool, the only channel of safety and success. With this chart before him, let the President stand firmly at the heli, and he will carry the ship safely through. Let him to the right or to the left and he will founder. Destaverion wx—Tus B or me Exp.—The Persia brings a report of the total destr » of Canton by the Bri tich. This news, if trac, is exceedingly 'm portant, as it is the certain fore r of « sive changes in the traditional policy aud prova- bly in the institutions themeelvcs of this curious old empire. The rebels, ax our readers ate aware, have long been in possession of Shanghac and in, and the only seaport city of impor. tance that remained in the hands of the Imperial ists was Canton. By the de-truction of this latter place by the Britis! the rebels have now obtain- ed the command of the eatire cvast; aud the Ea peror, shut up in his eapital of Pekin~the oaly city on which be bas latterly been able to rely — has no option but to comply with sach terme as may be dictated to him from two hostile quar ters. Ji he yields to the demands of the Beitich he loses his prestige in the eyes of his own adbe rents, and if he continues to hold out against them he will afiord a pretext to the invaders to give encouragement and probably armed support to the rebels, Ile ix thus reduced to a diloiams from which there appears to be no possibi means of & ~, and a aivfication is not amongst the privileges allowed to Asiatic mo- narobs, it is probable that bis difficulties will be solved by a violent death at the hands of those who surround him. The fall of the Mantchou dynasty has long been foreseen, irom the impo- tence of the imperial goverament to suppress the preudy Christian movement headed by Thae-Ping- Wang, tha! mot impudent of modera religious impovtors. There can be no doubt that the des- truction of Canton, the great ontrepot of Chi- nose commerce, and one of the chief sources from mpetial revonves have beon derived, whence the | | } i | i | will accelerate oue of the events most to be de- | siderated for the p of modern civilization, Amy ie mH Rewsiax Goyenewent,—We | eee it stated ia fore that « company | bar beew got ug wiry, aud engaged by | ¢ Rassian government, to go oui te 8 bastopel and raise the ennken navy in the harbor. This is considered @ suty profitable speculation; bat | we would advise the Rosdan government not to pay money in advance. We see announced in this company some of the « epeculators who have becn concerned in various bubbles in thie country— such as the Potosi pony, the Mimouri Lead Company, the Macific Railroad Company, c., 4e. Lead Mining Cow- ter’sy the speech of the Emperor Nevaleon on the + pening of the French Chambers, close'y resembles the message of an American President than the royal speech of a British sove- reign. But the resemblance is lost when we look for figures, detaile and exact statements; the French prefer rhetoric to these dry matters, and the Emperor serves them according to their taste, Judged superficially, the address indicates a prosperous age, a serene prospect, a tranquil and confident sovereign. Examiaed closely, it tells of ruin staring France in we taee, and of the Em- peror seeing it coming from afar, “Civilization’s victories,” says the Emperor, “are not gained without sacrifices or without vic- tims.” He means himself when he says “civilza- tion;” the “sacrifices” and the “victims” are the +tockholders of the Credit Mobilier, and the mer- cantile classes in France, who have been crippled 'y the strangury of the Bank of France, It is Lot quite clear that the Emperor has a right to set himself up as the embodiment of civilization. ‘True, France has been prosperous, to the naked eye, since the establishment of the Empire; but that appearance of prosperity has been due far less to the increased stability imparted to business by the strength of the government, than to the im- meneeimpulsion which business has received from the fabulous expansion of public and private credit; the Empire is, at the present moment, ac- tually bloated with fictitious health. Such a con- dition would hardly be called a “ viotory of ci- vilization” in this country of ours: though we are not particular about exact terma either. In another sense, the phras? used by the Em peror is strictly correct. The expansion of pri- vate and public credit has stimulated works and enterprises which, in a quieter state of the public pulse, would never have been undertaken: when it culminates, as it must do, im a crash; these works and the fruits of these enterprises——the “conquests of civilization” —will remain, but the individuals immediately concerned will be ‘“ sac- tifices and victims.’’ We concur with the Em- peror in considering that in the long ran a coun- try isa gainer by such flows and ebbs as this; just as we believe that our railroad system is of infinite advantage to this country, though it is plain that all,or very nearly all the original etockholders in the companies must lose every: thing. But Napoleon seems to have forgotten that he is himself in the very foremost rank of the Lost marked out as “ victims and sacrifices.” When the crash comes in France, and the Credit Mohilier breaks (that of Austria is trembling ia the wind), it will need great luck on the part of the Emperor not to break too. For the rest, the principle which runs through the whole of the Imperial speech—the idea that the governmert is and ought to be the tutor, teacher, father, guardian, and dry-nurse to the nation— is so repulsive to our democratic ideas on this side the water, that criticism of details is out of the question, Perhaps the very best criticism on the state of France at the present day is tue delight expressed by the French journals at the literary excellencis of the speech. Of the matter they scem to think nothing; but the style, they say, is sweet. Je& Tun Wars. Streer stockjobbers of the Doily Times axnounce in their own journal that they will sell at auction, some time next week, thcir last speculation, refused by poor Pierce, viz., the old Brick Church, including, we sup- pose, the remains of the dead, consisting of old human bones and human ashes which still cling about the foundations of that building. Nothing escapes these inveterate speculators. They deal in shinplaster banks, dirty hotels, small theatres, brokea down railways, fancy stocks, basswood paper patents, old churches with human remains stiching around their foundations. Shakspere makes the gravedigger crack his jokes, and Hamlet to moralize on human skulls. Wesley & Co. beat Shakspere—they buy and sell hugo skulls at auction, and make them a profitable article of merchandise in Wall street. low Satan will enjoy that auction! It will be ea- tircly to his taste. The New Gritish Miulster.

Plumer and Oxf- ford :— Isaac Toucey, of Connections, who has been appointed to this ¢ffice, is a man of educatimn. He was origi- nally a federalist, and as such seled with the leaders of the old federal party. With the larger portion of them he espoused the cause of General Jackson fm the year 1825, and bas ever since wied with the democracy, He was © member ef the Congress of 1837. and as such held @ prominent position for « New Englander, He was a member of the Select Committee of Investigation to which the Cilley and Graves duel was referred, in the yoar i838. He exhi Dited some traits of character in that office, In 1818 he was appointed Atiorney General of the United States, which office he held about nine momths. On the 18th of May, 1862, Mr. Towoey was elected by « demooratio Le gislature to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Jabez W. Hontington, Bis conduct in supporting the Nebraska biil subjected him to a good dea! of consure in his native State, and it is not probable that he will ever ‘again reoelve favor or patrenage from the people of that State. Mr. Touooy is now about sixty eight years of age. In appearance be is particularly a istocratic, and in he marper is reserved. Judge Jeremiah 8. Blaok, of Pennsylvania, who bas recived the appointment of Attorney General, is ore of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Penn lyania, Mr. Black is undoubtedly the abiost man ye: mentioned for Attorney General. He wae appointed by Gov. Porter, resident Judge of the Cuust of Common Plea for the counties of Frankitp, Bedford aud Somerset, which office he held til) 1851, waem he war elected Justice of the Supreme Court, and in 183 was Chief Justice. In 1854 he was re elected to the Supreme Ben"h, where he now site, his term expiring in 1869. Jud; known ia the political world. He ie, conservative na‘lonal democrat, and hee the highest repu tation ag a jorist, which is the chief requisite for the posi which bas been cfiredhim Judge Biaok is extremely popular in Bis own State, and when last elected to the bench he ran twenty thousand votes ahead of his ticket The story sen: over the wires last night about Cnsries O'Comor is bosb, Mr, Buchanan did not offer him the of fice of Attorney General. It was the work of the New York politicians, who are in force bere, and trying to humbug the newspaper correspondents with all sorts of ridiculous reports for specia! purposes. The Cabinet is viewed with tavor, and ali command ehe suppert of the party. Mr. J. Glausy Jones was set aside at his own request, Instead of taking a foreign miesion he prefers to give the admiolstration a hearty support in Congress. Genator Toombs was quite active in arranging differences and assisting in making up the Cabinet. He is a warm supporter of the saministration. Tt io a mistake to class him with Jof. Davis, Thoy have not even spoken for years. The members of the Cadinet were called sogether to day by Mr. Buchanan. They were all prosent except Judge Black. Mr. bjeos in calling them together was to compare notes, and to assume te reins of govern ment. The present easistants in the various departments, together with the obief clerks, will remaia for the pre tent. Lesperate efforts are being made by the frieuds of these gentlemen to retain their places. Mr Baochanan'’s idea is to ro‘ate, and be #0 informed some New York Politicians who called op hii to-day, From Washington.
