A summary of the news is given on the first page of to-day’s Hraap. Our despatches from Washington this morning contain the substance of the reply of the Secretary of State to the propositions of Lord Napier relative to » tripartite alliance in the prosecution ofthe war with China. They also develope the policy to be pursued by our government with reference to our intercourse with that country. The administration declines co operating with France and England, but whl despatch a ister to China to watch over American interests in that quarter, supported by @ fleet of sufficient strength to give efficiency to the Kine of conduct agreed upon. It is stated that Hon. Robert J. Walker will be selected for the mis MOE. The long pending dispu.e with Denmark as to the question of the payment of the Sound dues was brought to a termination yesterday. Our govern- ment pays is proportion of the capitalization fand, smounting to $380,000, and the tax heretofore levied © our commerce ceases.

We understand tha; Colonel Lockridge stated pre- vious to the sailing of the steamer Texas that he shoul) not again retarn to San Juan del Norte, but that with his late reinforcements he should press Sorward along the river to the lake. The Spanish journal Le Cronica asserts that the sentiment imputed to the Spanish Minister at Wash- Jagton, as to the certainty of Spain losing Cuba if whe carries forward a war against Mexico, is at variance with bis well known previoos sentiment a+ to the perfect ssfety of the island in any evertual- ity. If Mr. Tassara has changed hie mind in that respect it must be, asys the Cronica, because the warlike tone of the American journals has made too eres! an impression on his mind. We also translate &® paragraph from the Espena, of Madrid, to the effect that Spain did not ask the approval of any ether government as to her plans against Mex!.0; bet that, nevertheless, Count Walewski, the French Minisier,on being apprised of the ciremar to the @ipiomate abroad, did not besitate in declaring that Kpain was perfectly right in exacting reparation or avenging the Ulood of Spanish citizens. The Sa is of the Tammany Society met yes terday noon and passed revolutions authorizing the Bmsii and Savage general committees to appoint two delegates each in every ward toa general con. vention, to which would be referred the disputes in tbe party, and who would be empowered to call a pri mary election for the choice of delegates to a general com nittee that would supersede both of those now claiming to be regular. The Sachems themse!ve: ‘will appoint one delegate from each ward to the eonvention. This body will meet on the 16th inst., ‘and cannot last longer than the first of Jone next. While in existence it will have all the powers of the genera) committee. ‘The election for charter officers in St. Louis, Mo., yesterday, resulted in the complete triumph of the emancipation ticket. The Americans are said to have voted for the emancipation candidates. The new steam trignte Niagara went into com- mission yesterday, She will probably proceed to sea to-day on her trial trip. As the Niagara hes een detailed to assist in laying down the Atlantic wabmarine cable, she will not take on board her ar- Mament of twelve ewivel guns antil after her retorn from that service Recorder Smith delivered an interesting charge to the Grand Jury in the Court of Sessions yesterday, which we publish elxowhere.

Ex- President Roberts was to comm nd the aid deta h- ment from Liberia. Mr. Jame-’ school at Case Palmas was full, having sixty-five regularly attend- ing popils. Resolutions have passed both branches of the Legislature calling on the general government to remeve the obstructions to the navigation of Harlem iver. The Trinity Church bill passed the Senate yesterday. It provides, among other things, that a sum shall be set off for the use of Trinity, and the balance of the funds shall be devoted to the support ot religion and religious education in the city and State of New York. The ship New Hamp-hire, from Glasgow for New York, with a cargo of pig iron and soda ash, went asbore on Jones Beach, Long Island, about one o'clock yesterday morning during the gale that pre- vailed a‘ that time. No livea were lost, and it is ‘hought the ship may be got off after her cargo is taken out. Assistance was sent down to her as soon as the inteHigence of her being on shore reached the city. Accounts from Ceylon, dated at Colombo on 14th t February, says:—In the vessels which salled— bree to London, two to France, two to Melbourne nd one to Moulmein—an aggregate of 37,369 cwts. of coffee hae gone forward, made up of 19,672 planta- tion and 17,686 native. The total exports of plantation are 109,952 ewts., against 122,976 last season. The total of both kinds for the four months and a half or the season is 260,708 cwts., an aggregate frilly 50,000 in advance of that attained at corresponding dates ip previous years. The Committee on Streets of the Board of Coun- cilmen met yesterday to consider the propriety of widening Robinson street, from Church street to the river. Several persons appeared in favor of the project and several to oppose it. The remonstrants agamst it called for the petition for widening the street, to see what names were signed to it, alleging that al] the property holders were against the pro- position. The committee had mislaid or could not find the petition. Some debate followed concerning it, and the commitice adjourned till it cou!d be pro- cured. The Surrogate made.a decision in an interesting and novel case yesterday arising upon the will of Wil- liam Tirrtll. Mr. Pirrill willed his entire estate to bie daughter EXzabeth, during her natural life, with the direction to his executors that if there was any default in the legacy of said Elizabeth of $10,000 to his adopted daughter Catherine, that tney should pay $10,000 ont ef his estate to Catherine. Catane- mine died before Elizabeth, and Elizabeth revoked her will, giving the $10,000 to the heirs of Cathe- rine. The question was raised whether by the let ter of the decedent's will Catherine was not person- aily eptilled to #10,000 at her decease. The Surro gate held that the negative conditions upon which the legacy was given was fulfilled on Catherine's death, and that she was ther persoually entitled to he $10,000; also, that the gift was not equitably satistied by the bequests under Elizaveth’s will to the issue of Catherine. The Almshouse Governors, at their meeting yes- terday resolved to accept the care of the new Easex Market prison, which the Common Council desired them te do; but at the same time they resolved to ask the city for money enough to make it tenant- able, as it has been left by the contractor in an un. finished state. A series of resolutions pitching into the Commissioners of Emigration were also passed: As summer approaches the number of inmates in the charitable institutions of the city diminishes. There are avout five hundred less under the care of the Governors now than there was daring the month of February. An interesting paper was read last evening before the Historical Society, by Prof. Horace Green, D.D., the subject being ‘Reminiscences of the Battle of ‘The authority for the various facts med, was Mr. Zeet Green, one of the “Minute men of Massachusetts,” and a participant in the early struggles of the Revolution.

Walker's late brilliaat victory near Rivas, as to satisfy us that some stockjobbing scheme un- derlies all these anti-Walker inverltions. iret, there was toe Wilzaington hoax, all the way from North Carolina: next came the gloomy epecula- tions, suspicions and conjectures of the New York Tribune; next the Nassau street manufactared Nicaragua correspondence of the New York Tones; and, lastly, a letter in the Sun, purporting to be from one Captain Anderson, of Walker's army, and gi ecock and ball story of the glorivus victory of the ‘filibuster chief’ of the 16th of March. upon which the Sun editorially indulges in a melancholy review of Walker's hopeless situation. Now, we repeat that there must be some stock- jobbing scheme at the bottom of al] these ‘ weak inventions of the enemy.” The extracts of the letters from Gen. Henningsen published in the Henaty ere genuine and from the originale, which we hare seen in the General's handwriting; and we refer the public to an interesting com- munication, published in another column, from Mrs. Henningsen relative to those letters, and the way they were received. It would seem, if the accounts given in the other papers be genu- ine, that Gen. Walker bas gained two victories instead of one, and that Gen. Henningsen’s let- er respecting the first has been intercepted. The battle of the 17th ult, stated by Hen- ningsen, was certainly fonght—the allies were badly beaten, and the schemes of the coa- ‘ition were thus not only knocked on the head in Nicaragua, but seriously crippled in New York. Let us explain. With the sel znre of the San Juan river boats and the occupation of the river forte by the Cos ta Ricans, they concluded that their work of exterminating the filibusters wae substantially accomplished, and that the dieposition of the Nicaragua Transit route wae at the discretion of Costa Riea. \nder this delusive idea two agents, Webster and Anderson, in the Interest of Costa Rica and “the house of Vanderbilt,” ca on to New York to ¢ Accessory Transit mpony under th rious anspices of Costa her allies. 7 1 nerned witt ganize a new 2 and © and others them were certain preliminary fio an egotiations scmething might pomibly be done to prevent | THE LATEST NEWB. collapse of their scheme by discrediting and fa!- sifying the genuine news from Rivas, and by the manufacture of false veporte, Hence, we be- lieve, the various fictitious despatches, advices, Tumors, opinions and arguments which have ap- peared since Saturday las: in various journals of this city to the prejudice of Walker and his cause, Very well. Let our stockjobbers in the inte- test of Costa Rica and “the house of Vander- bilt” proceed with their gtand project of a new Transit Company. Another fortnight will most probably wind them up. Walker has been vic- torious. He has broken the backbone of the armed coalition against him. We may next ex- pect to hear of the re-opening and re-oscupation by him and hie reintorcements of the Transit route from one ocean to the other; next of the conquest successively of the several allied States, beginning with Costa Rica, and next of the re- construction of them all in the form of a new confederation upon Anglo-American, military, commercial and political principles, including niggers. In the interval, we should not wonder if the next reliable intelligence from’ Nicaragua were to result in the prompt appointment of a Minister from Washington to Rivas, with a view to the formal recognition of the de facto g~- vernment of Waiker. Mr. Arpieton on Newsparers.—The Hon. Jobn Appleton, late editor ot the Washington Union, left, a8 a legacy to his readers on quitting that establishment, a little common sense upon the subject of newspapers in the federal capital The legacy was precious and rare. An idea had prevailed among a certain class of politicians, that the only reason why the Washington Union did not take rank among newspapers on a level with the New York Herarp was because its editor bappened to bea blockhead. This fallacy Mr. Appleton has exploded. He has shown- what it has fallen to our lot to explain more thio once—that a great metropolitan newspaper caa on)y be reared in @ metropolis; that you can no more build up « first clase newspaper in a dail country town like Washington then you can raise an African lion among the ices of the pole. The reason is simple; in a place like Washing ton, journalistic independence is impossible, and without independence, no newspaper can be great. For, in tnis country, and with our estab- lished notions, it is a settled thing that no daily newspaper can support itself by circulation alone; indeed in most cases, there is an actual loss on the daily circulation which is made up otherwise. A paper must, therefore, to live, have other sources of income; and of these sources there is but one that is compatible with independence, and that is general advertising business, which can only exist, in sufficient amount to be worth consideration, in a great metropolitan city. Newspapers published outside of New York, and especially in places like Washington where there isno trade, and no general industrial movement, usually seek support fromthe pa tronage of political friends. They agree to sup- port such a party or such an individual in re- turn for assistance either in the shape of money, or inthe shape of sinecure offices to the editor, or in the shape of printing extravagantly over- paid. The last has been the stand-by of the Washington Union. For supporting its party in Congress, it has obtained the printing of the House of Representatives, giving its proprietors a profit of over $100,000 per Congress. They have published their newspaper as a luxury, and paid for it out of their profits. Whence of course, every one knowing its wretched bargain, aud the obligation it was under to puff every one who had voted for it, despised and contemned it; and bed it been conducted even with more imbecility and vulgarity and gross ignorance than it was— if that be possible—it would hardly have been a greater hindrance to its party, or a greater dis- grace to the government which it was understood to represent.
