The Governor and suite returned to Albany yesterday. The Commissioners @tate positively that they have not yet made any final decision with regard to the location of the Qua raptine. ‘The Board of Health held their first meeting for the season yesterday. It was decided to ap- point delegates toa convention to be held at Phi- Indelphia on May 13, for the purpose of devising uniform system of Quarantine laws. A mesting of the Tammany Society or Columbian ‘Order was held last evenimg at the Wigwam. No ‘business of importance was transacted. There seemed to be a good deal of feeling in favor of union and harmony in the democratic ranks. During the evening a debate took place on the propriety of recommending John Kelly's proposition to the Council of Sachems. Messrs. Kelly, Cochrane, Pur- ,, Conner, Van Buren, Fewler, Hart aad others part in the discussion. The members all seemed satisfied with the action of the Sachems, and agreed to the proposal made at the informal meeting of that body on Saturday last. The debate closed by the society's declining to submit any resolutions or proposals to the Sachems, as it was supposed their meeting to-day would result satisfactorily to all. The Board of Supervisors yesterday adopted a resolution directing the Comptroller to pay Police Court clerks, as provided for by a resolve passed December 13, 1855, and legalized by legisla- tive enactment on the 10th ultimo. In the Board of Aldermen last evening the Mayor's nominations of Wilson Small for Receiver of Taxes, and John P. Hone as Assistant Re>eiver, were confirmed unanimously. The nomination of Charles Fletcher as Inspector of Vessels, in place of William L. Wiley, whose term ha* expired, was laid ‘©n the table. The Board of Councilmen met last evening, when the special Committce on the Relief of Broadway presented s voluminous report, a synopsis of which | will be found in another colama. A member charg: | ed the chairmaa of the committee with furnishing the Hanaxp exclusively with a copy of the report, whereupon an exciting discussion arose, and when | Considerable virtuous indignation had been expres; | ed, the Chairman informed the Board that copies were sent to all the morning papers. A resolution @warding one thousand dollars to Mr. Valentine the | Clerk of the Common Council, for compiling this year's Manual, was adopted. } Among the many plans for the relief of Broadway, | | } not the least important is the projected rallroad to commence on the Seventh avenue at Fifty-ninth street, thence along Seventh avenue to Broadway, | thence along Broadway apd Union place to Univer | sity place, thence along University place to Sixth street, thence along Sixth street to (ireene street, thence along Greene street to Canal street thence along Canal street to West Broadway, thence slong West Broadway and College piace to Park piace, thence along Park place to Charch street, thence along Church street to Fulton street, thence slong Falton street to Broadway; also, along Park place to Broadway, and thence beck through Park place to Church street, and thence through Church street to Canal street, thence along Canal street to Mercer atreet thence along Mercer street to Waverley place (or Sixth street), to connect with the track in University pisce. This scheme has already passed quietly through several preliminary stages in the | Legiciatare, and is now before the sub Committee of the Whoie of the assembly. Property owners along the route had better bestir themselves before it is too late In the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, on motion of the District Attorney, the trial of Mrs. Cunningham and John J. Eckel was postponed till Monday, the 4th of May. A pane of five hanired Jjorors will be ordered for this case. uA violent wind end raio storm visited the city | yesterday, which did no little good to the streets, | | | | though it damaged property in the cellars near the Gorks. The streets will be the cleaner for this visi- tation, and mod enoogh will be washea away to materially lighten the labors of the street sweepers. ‘The violent wind which prevailed yesterday may do damage to the shipping on the coast. Advices from the west coast of Africa report the Srrival of the new ship Mary Caroline Stevens, of Baltimore, at Monrovia. The Cape Palmas colo nists had fought another battle with the natives, when over twenty of the colonists were killed.

Walker's Late Successes—His Splendid Pros- pects—W hat Will the Administration Do} We perceive that the attention of the adminis- tration has been recalled to the affairs of Nica- ragus by the late victorious operations of Walker end Henningsen, and that the Cabinet have been agitating the policy of sending down a Minister to look up the Nicaragua government. As yet Mr. Buchanan has taken no step indicat- ing his purposes in reference to this Nicaragua equabble; but we expect that his policy in the appointment of @ Minister will be the recogni- tion of the local government de facto, Walker’s though it should be. As for poor Pierce, his Central American proceedings, like his course upon Kaneas affairs, were “neither fish, flesh, fowl nor red herring.’ He was afraid on Tues- dsy of the thing done on Monday, and on Wednesday of the blunder of Tuesday, and so on from day to day, from week to week, from month to month, from year to year, tothe end of the chapter. Now, Mr. Buchanao, though a cautious man, bas the character of straight-forward man in his private and in his official conduct. Ac- cordingly, when we hear that he has been con- sidering the question of a new Minister to we take it for granted that bis mind has been acting upon a cer- tain theory of facts, events and proba- ble results, and that his action will conform to this theory. We dare say that he is not ignorant of the means, resources and capa- bilities of Walled, and that the administration is and Edwards, and also Mr. Schoonmaker, and Petbaps the famous Schuyler, if he were alive. Bat, notwithstanding all these fine arrange- ments and fair promises, we cannot ventare to encourage our readers to take a hand ia this New York State Kaneas speculation. Land speculators in Kansas are just now blowing up quite s number of large sized bubbles. Mem who fancy themselves rich there to-day, may be beg- gars by next December. Better be cautious till Mr. Walker ehowshisband. This Auburn enter- prise may possibly prove to be a good thing, but it may prove to be @ morus multicaulis We think, therefore, we shall bave to endorse this certificate over to poor Pierce. From the past experience of the country in Lake Superior copper mining companies, California gold mining companies, Parker Vein coal mining companies, Potoei Lead mining companies, and various land speculating companies, the chances are that in the end it will prove to be a awindle, a humbug, a bubble, or a failure. What will avail the names of all the great men of the State as endorsers of this Auburn-Kansas scheme, sbould it happen to explode or break down through some mysterious rascality, defalcation, or bad management? Look at the Fourierite phalanxes, and how they were puffed and blown into life by Horace Greeley. Where are they now? Bursted and dispersed. Look at the Pennsylvania Norwegian Colony purchase, in which Oie Bull was entrapped, with his pockets full of meney. The concern exploded, but not till the honest but foolish Norwegian had his pockets cleaned out—and where is Ole Bull now? Back ayain at his fiddle, which he had dropped to become the Landgrave of a great Norwegian set- tlement among the Pennsylvania mountains. With the hint thrown out by the original Mas- sacbusetts Kansas Emigrant Aid Society, a new class of epeculative projects appears to have sprung up—a class of joint stock colonization companies. Mr. Thayer, the original inventor, bas extended the idea to @ grand consolidated waste land purchasing company, for the free white re-colonization and regeneration of Old Virginia; and this project may be made to pay to all concerned. And #0, too, may all other well organized echemes for the purchase and set- tlement of the waste lands of the border slave States But with the increasing prospects in favor of Kansas becoming a free State, the Northern emigration to that region is, we fear, beginning to be taken up for Wall street stockjobbing and kite-flying purposes. Under this impression, we approve the knock-down argu- ments used by Arehbishop Hughes the other night against a certain acheme for a concentrated Irish emigrant colony somewhere out West. We agree not ‘pre-committed to the allies. But, wh with the Archbishop, that in these days of Wall may be the views and inclinations of Mr. Bu- chapan, we suspect that it will not be much longer before they assume s definite and practi- Walker Wi is by no means without his allies, and they are allies of the most efficient kind—the allies which Koesuth pleaded for so powerfully in behalf of Hungary—the allies of “ material and financial aid.” He has them in Valparaiso, in Peru, in San Francisco, in Mexico, in New Or loans, Philadelphia and New York; and if they have heretofore furnished him resources to the extent of a million of money, they will not be wanting to the extent of another million or two, as long as he holds his ground. His project is theirs, and comprehends something more than the monopoly of the “fares and ferriage”’ of the Transit route. It involves the grand scheme of the reduction and re-construction of the whole of Central America upon an Anglo-Saxon platform, and upon “commercial and military principles.” This plana embodies, also, the Southern idea of the practical establishment of African slavery in Central America, and the developement through this medium of the capabilities of those fertile tropical regions as cotton, sugar, choco- late, tobacco and indigo producing States. Let the North American political programme of Walker be established over Central America, and slaveholders from our Southern States, with their slaves, will soon put the ball of slave labor in motion. The African slave trade, in the next place, will soon fill up all deficiencies between the law of demand and supply in the article of niggers. Thus the British West India policy of | emancipation as a stepping stone to the aboli- tion of slavery in our Southern States will be met by a counter movement of the South of the most formidable character. ‘These things are among the events of the fu- ture, foreshadowed in the recent successes of Walker. We therefore await with no ordinary degree of interest the policy of Mr. Buchanan, and the next intelligence from the seat of war. The New York State Kansas Emigration | Company—Southern Land Speculations and j the Rigger Agitation. We submit to the careful consideration of our | readers this morning several curious and inte- | resting papers on a new land speculating pro- ject, bearing the pleasing title of the “New York State Kansas Emigration Company.” These pa- pers are: Ist. A very interesting note from Mr. Henry C. Hall, of Auburn, treasurer, enclosing, 2d. A certificate “to the Editor of the Heraty” for forty shares of the company’s scrip, 34. ‘The prospectus of the company; and 4th, a very interesting and curious letter from Rochester on this Auburn movement, Eli Thayer's scheme, and upon the general subject of a free white re-colo- nization of the border slave States, both in a po- litical and financial view. It will be seen seen from Mr. Hall's note that the company “believe their plan to be a good one, and deserving of public confidence; that they wish to bring it into public notice, and that to this end they have “voted to the Editor of the Henan a certificate of 160 acres of land in oar | colony, and request that the Hrnstn shal! make | us suitably known, &c., and for afew weeks | keep the public mind refreshed of our existence and progress.” Looking, next, to the enclosed Prospectus we find that the first object of the company is to establish in Kansas a colony of New Yorkers, all “in one neighborhood,” which is » very attractive idea, including a town or city for shopping, marketing, schools, churches, manufac- tures, ke. We noxt pereeive that the company have provided an executive committee of Teepectable men, no doubt, for nagement of the general business and fuads of the company; and that a contribution of five dollars will secure the right of member- ship in the company and a ticket for a town lot. ‘The other specifications of the plan upon their face are fair, modest, liberal and tempting; and a to the business character and fidelity of the officers we are referred to the Hon. Horace Greeley, of New York, of $1,000 lobby note. riety; Samuel Wilkeson, of Atbany; Hon. Daniel 8. Wright, of Whitehall; Hon. Ward Hunt, of tion, nnd other distinguished individusls, euch the ma- | street swindling in everything that can be turned into = fancy stock, these stockjobbing West- emigration “New York Kansas Emigration Company” is, therefore, at their service. ‘They have sent it to the wrong shop. Our business is not done in that way. If Mr. Hall should desire it, we can deliver up our scrip to the chief of the 7ribune Fourierite phalanx, or to the Wall street proprie- tor, or the “little villain,” eo caHed, of the Times. We dare say that ‘with the Tribune phi- losophers or the Times financiers this new fancy Kansas free State emigration ecrip from Auburn witl, if offered, be accepted by the ream. We give the Auburn company the full benefit of their own statement of their case, through our columns, in the publication of the papers aforesaid; but we warn our readers against dabbling in the lots of « great New York city in Kansas, the very site of which has yet to be discovered, and which may never be found. The political views of the general object sug- geeted by our Rochester correspondent opea up an extensive field of discussion. It is quite pos- sible that from the germ of Mr. Thayer's Kansas. | Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Society, which came | so near a revolution in the goveroment in 1856, there may spring up by the year 1860 such a cata- | logue of Northern emigration companies for | Southern colonization, as wholly to change the | present political issues of the country in that campaign At all events, it appears that Mr, | Seward is the political head of the Auburn Kansas | company, and that their great object as political land operators is to take the wind out of the sails | of Robert J. Walker for the succession. | Our Kejations with China. | The public press throughout the country have | received the Henan and are aware that our re- lations with China have reached a critical and important stage: They discuss the propriety of a war with China, and canvass the proposals of Lord Napier with earnestness and anxiety. | The case, it seems to us, is very clear. We cannot make war upon China, both because a pretext may be wanting, and likewise because the | warsoaking power does not reside in the only | brancies of government now present at the na- tional capitol. Nor can we, reasonably, take such a position in connection with France and Eogland as to involve usin any responsibility for their acta, or commit us to a line of policy for which we might lack an immediate motive. Nor | can we, finally, rewain indifferert to a war which may deprive us of ten or twelve millions of a commodity whieh we need, and jeopardise our relations with # Power with which we must here- after become extensively connected. Our potition, be it remembered, is unique among civilized nations The United States | are not only different from France and Eagland in reepect of national policy and purpose, plan of progrese, and system of developement, but they differ from these and from all other nations es- tentially by the nature of their past relations with the Chinese. We have had fifty thousand Chinamen at a time work | ing on our eoil, enjoying the benefit of our Jaws, speaking our tongue, and returning to | China to commemorate our greatness These re- | turned Californians are not likely to have spoken | disparagingly of the United States, On the con- | trary, it is natural to suppose that they must have met with many a specimen of the Yankee Bobsdil, who aseured them that this country | could whip the world, and especially England. They will moreover have had opportanities of studying the usages of the United States, and observing with reepect the extent of thelr terri- tory, to which their own Flowery Kingdom is the only parallel. This experience is not likely to have increased their regard or reepect for Groat Britain; but it will account in a great measure for the kind and conciliatory attitude which the Chinese authorities adopted toward this country —ns soon as they ascertained that the Ameri- cans in those waters would rather fight than endure outrage. On the other band, it is but right that dug al- tion which the courre pursued by the British Guthorities must have caused at Canton. We As between Englishmen and Chinamen, of course, no intelligent American can hesitate. The triumph of the one must be our triumph; the victory of the other would very likély be our exclusion from the tea end eilk market. The one is a civilized nation, and our closest cus- tomer and ally; the other iss barbarian nation, with a form of civilization quite exhausted, and no relations with us beyond a drain of our silver to pay for our tea and silk—the United States having no opium to sell, as England has, But it must be likewise remembered that in this quarrel the Chinese have not seemed to behave very bar- barously; whereas the Englishmen have con- ducted themeelves as it seems to be the peculiar property of Englishmen to conduct themselves in foreign countries—with arrogance, and reckless disregard of all nights but their own. Tse New York Hyratp axp THE Wasninc- Ton Ovrstpe Orcans.—The Washington Star (the little kitchen organ of the late administra- tion, which went out of the back door of the White House on the same day that poor Pierce departed by the front door,) makes iteelf very officious in discrediting the truth of certain late Washington despatches in the Heratp upon Chi- nese affairs. In reply, we have to say that those despatches were substantially true; that the interviews and conversations reported as occurring between Lord Napier on the one side and the President, Gen. Cages and Mr. Walker, respectively, on the other did take place; as also the friendly interposition of Mr. Seward in behalf of Mr. Walker es the Proper man to send to China. We have also to esy that our authority in the matter of these aforesaid despatches is unimpeachable, and nearer to the official head sources of informa- tion than any that are ever vouchsafed to the ‘Washington organs of poor Pierce.’ The pafier and blower of the Star ia especially an outside loafer apon the government since the evacuation of poor Pierce, and as each he is likely to remain. Mr. Buchanan’s memory, no doubt, extends be- hind the Cincinnati Convention. As tor Mr. Walker, we believe not only that Lord Napier desired to have him sent out to China, but that his own inclinations were in favor of that mission. We fear, too, that before this Kansas imbroglio is six months older, he will be sorry that he dido’t go to Canton instead of Leeompton. Let us wait till he goes to Le- e—_—_— THE LATEST NEWS.
