The British Minister has been in communication with our government spon this question, with the design of effecting a taipartite alliance of England, France and the Uai- ted States—the three leading commercial Powers ot the world —for the protection of matual interests ani the extension of commerce and civilizatioa in the Central Flowery Kingdom. We have received by the Europa a copy of a highly interesting letter on the Chimese Empire, addressed by Sir John Bowring to the Register General of London, for which we will endeavor to find space to-morrow. ‘The letter of Hon. Robert J. Walker, accepting the Governornship of Kansas, is published among our telegraphic news. The policy Mr. Walker in tends to pursue in the administration of the affairs of the Territory, and in which the President and bis Cabinet fully concur, is there set forth. The difficulty between the United States and New Granada has, it is said, reached such a point us to render the speedy despateb of a large fleet to the Isthuns highly probable. Heventy-three vessels were detained yesterday at the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi river, fo want of a sufficient depth of water on the bar. A bill was introduced in the Senate yesterd.y providing for the establishment of @ uniform «tind ard for the illuminating power of gas, and the ap pointment by the Governor of an inspector of ¢ metres for this city. We have news from Mayaguez, Porto Rico, tv the Lith inst. Our correspondent writes that the cli mate there “is a continual summer, and the crops yield well. The last crop of sugar bas nearly been exported, and the new one looks well. The quanti ty of molasses on hand is considerable, and nearly engaged on European account. ‘The ground crops are also very good, and are sought for with great eagerness by French end English men that touch here, which causes # better of-war @emend for American produce. The island is healthy. A contract has been entered into for laying a submerged telegraph lige from here to Hayti,and thence to Cuba and Jamaica We are at peace with every one, and are greatly de- lighted in being enabled to hold converse with our neighboring islanders.” Karly on Monday morning the new contractors for cleaning the streets, Messrs. Smith and Reynolds, set their men to work in various parts of the city to find ovt the pavement that has been eo long lost to sight. The iaborers had no sooner got to work than they were attacked by mobs, and compelled to seek Useir vafety in flight. The assailants were supposed to be discontented laborers set on by the old con tractors. Yesterday Messrs. Reynolds and Smith appealed to Mayur Wood for protection, aud last might the laborers went to work under the care o! the police. There was a prospect last night that the leading thoroughfares would look toleravly clean this morning.

Burdell’s hotseho'd effects and dental tools were sold at auction yesterday, at No. 31 Bond street, the house where the murger was committed. An immense crowd attended the sale, an account of which we give elsewhere. The Brocklyn Common Council last evening adopted the report of the committee in favor ef al- lowing the city railroad cars to ran on Sunday. The vote stood twenty-two in favor to twelve against the proposition. Mayor Powell will, it is said, give his official sanction to the measure torthwith.

Very few people who read the newspapers realize the vast importance that is going to at- tach to the Chinese war. The war of 1840-42 was insignificant in comparison, Then, the war grew out of the destruction of some contraband epium which a British subject claimed, aud was orosecuted solely in order to obtain safe com- mercial intercourse with certain Chinese ports. Now, the war arises out of a persistent refusal of the Chinese to fulfil their treaty obligations, and will be prosecuted until the foreign Powers ob. vain satisfactory guarantees against frand or vio cence on the part of the Chinese in all future time. This isa basis, and anaim which may involve a war of the very first magnitude. We have reason to believe that Lord Napier s instructed to consider the co-operation of the United States in the war the most important ob- ‘ect to be gained by his embassy to the United States. To what extent he has endeavored to ichieve this end, and how far he has succeeded, vill soon be known; it isnot unlikely that the sppointment of the uew Governor of Kansas may have been a disappointment to him, as it deprived him of the co-operation of the man who, above all others, was most likely to share the sentiments of the allies of Europe in refe- cence to the complicated questions o* Caines? poli- tics. But there is plenty of material for Chinese Commissioners in this country; Mr. Buchanan has only to hold up his hand, he will obtain the man needed. Mr. Walker can be spared for Kansas, Were the war conducted solely against the Chinese, the English would not deem it so im- portant. But they are well aware now that be- hind the Chinese government stauds the E nperor of Russia, burning to avenge the Igssea he has suffered during the war. From Rassia—which has always beéa more of an Asiatic than Earo- pean Power--the Chinese can obtain vhat has always been wanting to their armies—officers and discipline; and like the Persians with the same advantages, may, under these conditions, make their enormous numbors tell with terrible effect against their assailants. We hear already that the Russian Plenipotentiaries have succsed- edin effecting a temporary reconciliatioa be- tween the rebels and the imperialists; the coase quence of which will of course be to gather the united strength of the empire against the com mon enemy. Let a few oflicers, modern weapons and a general notion of modern military disci pline, be added to the boons already presented to China by the Russians, and the war may becoa very serious indeed. The Chinese have fought well in the Canton River: under Russian leaders, and after proper training, they might almo- defy any attack. Their numbers alone would laugh to scorn any Earopean armament, They could easily send into the field several armics of amillion men each, and could provision them. To meet them, the English and French have entered into the usual war treaty, binding them selves to prosecute the war jointly, &e., do. It is said that twenty thousand men are about to be shipped from Toulon and Cherbourg for tne Canton River. Meanwhile, the British govera ment desires to ascertain whether the anti-Chi nete alliance cannot be made a tripartite one, with the United States as ful! pariner for a third The question has so many faces that it is eus- ceptible of a great deal of ventilation before a satisfactory settlement can be made, It is decid- edly not the policy of this country to join otuer Powere in carrying out wars. The United State have net been in the habit of considering that they had a suflicient interest in any question which interested European Powers to induce them to join them in any military or political operations. At the same time, itis not certau that this Chinese matter is not precisely the ex- ception which the foregoing rule presumes. We are certainly interested in China as largely as England and very much more largely than any other Power. One way and another the effect of the stoppage of the Chinese trade by the war will be severely felt here. Should the Chinese ports be blockaded, ns they may be, for s period of years, inconvenience would be felt not oaly fo commercial circles, but in every household in the country. Teas have already risen thirty per cent. Here are reasons enough why the United States should not be indifferent to the issue of events in China. Whether it happens to coincide with Mr. Buchanan's views for this country to take an ac- tive part in the pending contest and be beholden to none but oureelves for the advantages to be wrested from China, or not, it is certain that oat But what should be sad ved to Coina mercantile interests alone imperatively require a | clore supervision of the turn of affairs in that | ction of the world.

Robert J. Walker's Letter of Accept- ance-—-The True Policy, It will be observed from our telegraphic ad- vices from Washington, that the policy which Mr. Walker bas adopted for the government of Kan- sae (as laid down in his letter of acceptance) is eminently fair, honest and conciliatory. He does not propose to conquer a peace by the bayonet, but by the peaceable agencies of justice, mode- ration and mutual concessions among the bellige- rent squatters and border ruffians, It appears that during the late campaign Mr. Walker issued a manifesto for Pennsylvania cir- culation, predicting that the solution of the Kan- eas-Nebraska bill would be the inevitable admis- sion of Kansas asa free State. We understand that Mr. Walker, under an honest administration of the law, still entertains this idea, and that he bas provided most positively and completely in his official programme that the law shali be honestly administered. It is also understood that Mr. Buchanan heartily supports the views and plans ot Mr. Walker, and is confident of a suc- cessful and satisfactory issue out of this ugly nig- ger imbroglio. Jn the meantime, the pro-slavery party of the ate Legislature have made their arrangements ora State Convention, with a view toa pro- slavery State constitution, all of which proceedings are utterly repudiated by the free State party. They will take no part in the election; they have so resolved in convention assembled, so that Mr. Striagfellow will have it this time, quietly, all his owa way. The question is, therefore, bow far will Mr. Walker iecognize these one-sided proceedings? Will he adopt them, and accordingly pass up Kansas to Congress at the next session for admission as a siave State? or will he inaugurate a new seriqgof preliminary popular movements calculated to enlist the confidence and competition of the free State party? We are glad to see that Mr. Walker's plau is that of the inaugural, viz., to secure to every voter of Kansas a voice in her clectious. This policy, therefore, must involve the repudiation, in some way or other, of the ini- tiatory proceedings of the late pro-slavery Logis latuce; for how can the suffrages of the free State party be secured iu obedience the arrange- ments of an authority which they denounce as basely iNegal and iraudulent? Mr. Walker will not go out to Kansas till May; tut the new Secretary of the Territory (Mr. F. P. Stanton) will proceed to Lecompton within a few days; so that within a week or two we may anticipate some official proclamation from the new Governor, ed int, distinctly inaugurating the policy of Mr. Walker. That the adauigtra- tion fully appreciates its tremendous res - oility in this matter is very evident and very ep couraging. It is the first essential to the graceful aud satisfactory solution of the whole difficulty. Ocmocracy and*iavery in Bouth Carolina and Missourl—W aat of the Future? We publish this morning a very remarkable ar- ticle from the Charleston Mereury, in connection with the'slavery question ; aud another and most extraordinary one from the St. Louis (Mo.) Demo- cral, in behalf of the policy of gradual emancipa- tion in that State; and taking these two articles together, they lead us to some very interesting general reflections and conclusions. The Mercury is the leading organ of the most altra sectional doctrines and views of John C. Calhoun; the Democrat is the home organ of his most virulent democratic antagonist, Thomas H. Benton. The former journal sees no hope of safety for South Caroliaa and her institution of slavery except in secession and a Somthern confederacy; the latter no satisfactory prospect for the fuil develope- ment of the industrial resources of Missouri ex- cept in the abolition ot slavery. Which is right ard which is wrong? Clearly, while emancipa- tion would be the ruin of both races in the cli mate of South Carolina, it would result in the nighest advantages to a State with the climate of Missouri. It is as natural, therefore, that oar Charleston cotemporary should contemplate the continued war of the North upon Southern elave- ry with sensitivencss and alarm, as that our St. Louls philoropher should regard this stili in- creasing Northern anti-slavery agitation with something of active sympathy. Reducing our inquiries to a narrower com pase, we perceive in this essay of the Mercury upon the political bearings of the Dred Scott de- cision, the incipient ei ments of @ Southera ultra defection against Mr. Buchanan's administration and “the usages of the party.” The A rcury will listen to none of these ewect democratic chantings over the epoils and plunder, of “peare, peace, when there is no peace.’ 1k looks back at the tremendous popular Northern outbreak for Fremont in 1856 with a shudder, aud at the prospect of the democracy in the North for 1860 with despair. It says, “in 60, when we meet again, let us see to it that we have a large swamp behind us, in which it may be convenient to cool off avd Juxuriate after our next tri- umph.” The meaning of all this is that neither Mr. Buchanan’s Cabinet, nor his inaugural, nor the Dred Scott decision, nor the harmonized democtaty over the spoils, can any longer be re- lied upon by the secersion faction of the South; but that they must bold towards the administra tion and ite party the defensive position of de clared enemies in the camp. At the other extreme, the St. Louis Democrat charges the initiative of the emancipation agi- tation .apon the “national democratic party,” and says that “uneballenged aod unassailed,” that party, in Missouri, “with a reck lessness which looks like a fatality, placed slavery on its ban- ner before the world; and they are now con- scious that sentence of doom is impending.” Now, here we have a democratic faction which aided in the election of Mr. Buchanan, separating from the party upon a local issue, and practical- ly joining hands with the republican party, be- cause the “national democracy” ask too much in behalf of slavery. In South Carolina, and among the secessionists throughout the South, neither the administration nor the Supreme Court cua satisfy the demands of the slavery ultras, and there fs a threatened party rebellion among them in active process of organization How, then, are these diverse materials to be re-unitet in 1860? The course of Mr. Buchanan is plainly marked out. He has entered upon it, and bas only to follow it steadily, consistently and fearlessly through. Though the democracy should be split up into a dozen hostile factions, | be has only to follow out the cours he has adopted in order tw retire irem office with the approval of — the country. Thus, looking to the country more then to the party, be can afford to regard these intestine fonds in the camp with perfect tadif ference. ae far as bis personal ambition is con ered. Kat with these existing symptom o | diveord end disruption among jemocratic } forces already redugea to a ivarful vggrogate | ? winority in the Union—what are the prospects for the democratic candidate in 1860? With the question of emancipation boldly taken up and made & political issue in Missouri in 1857, we may perhaps have the same agitation in full blaze in Kentucky, Virginia, Delaware and Ma. ryland within the mext three years. Where, then, are the demooracy in 1860 to stand, and how are they to bere-united and harmonize in Mis- souri and South Carolina? Not by the admission of Kaneas as a slave State, nor as a free State not upon the Dred Scott case, and not upon the basis of the epoils and plunder—nor yet through the agency of Mr. Fillmore as an outside opposi- tion candidate. But .should the pending warlike relations b2- tween Spain and Mexico result, in the course of the next three years, in a rupture with Spain, arid should the question of peace or war be thas made the leading campaign issue for 1860, the democracy may triumphantly carry the day for the war, as in 1812 and 1844. Nor is it impossible, nor even improbable, that this over- whelming issue may Set be brought about. Our whole Cabinet sympathize with Mexico. Gen Cass, ever since the Mexican peace, has regretted that it did not include the Gulf of California and the contiguous territories; and if Mc. Buchanan has a weak eide, it leans to the island of Cuba Accordingly, before we can venture to predict the result of the election of 1860 upon our do- mestic squabbles ever Kansas and Deed Scott, we must await the fall developement of Mr. Bu- chanan’s foreign policy and measures in reference to the pending warlike relations between Spain and Mexico. We may yet secure in 1860 a ceasation of the domestic war against the South, through a foreign war for the South. Let the South Caro lina secessionists, then, wait a little longer, and jet the Missouri emancipationists keep up their fire. The succession may depend not so much upon’ the niggers of Kansas, Missouri or South Carolina ar upon the niggers of the lovely island of Cubs.

Wasuineton, March 30, 1857. ‘The intelligence rece|ved by the last two steamers from Europe is very interesting, as affecting eur relatioar with Eogland and France, but especially with the latior and also as affecting the relations between the threc gres, maritime Powers and China. It seems that the war which bas jus} brokea out petwoen the Chinese and Fag ligh and tn which the Americans have taken a small pari, is thought to be the beginaing of a vory serious struggic ‘tm the East, very different from that of 1640, because Russia stands in the back ground im support of Onlos against the pretentions of the maritime Powers. lunderstand that Lord Napier, the new British Mints ter, pe already bad two interviews with General Cass on this subject, and that England expresses the greatest soliciiude for the United States to take part im the strug gle, which is considered the great contest of commerce and civilization im that quarter of the world. It is un derstood that Eogland and France being united on the China question are willing that the United Siates sboulu have full swing on this continent—that they should have thelr belly full of the Monroe doctrine down even to Cape Horn—provided we appreciated our proper position on the China question. Io connection with this matter ] learn a very curious fact Lord Paimerston’s administration, after the late vote in the British Commons condemnatory of their conduct in relation 0 China, have, you are aware, resolved to appeal to the country, and the present Parliament is to be dissolved and ‘& Rew election to be bad in the course of » few months.

By some means a copy @ @he programme was obtained by Lord Palmerston, (soWf might get me into a scrape to hint) and it bas been the map by which the British ministers bave since travelled in reference to China. The selection of Mr Walker by the Uaited States would, it is supposed by Lord Palmerston, tend to inspire confidence with the Epgitzh free traders of Manchester, Birmingham and Ltverpoo!, and weaken the opposition im the coming eloo- bop to him and bis friends.
