A summary of the news is given on the first page of to-day's Heaarp. Our despatches from Washington this morning «ontain 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 @eclines co operating with France and England, but wh) despatch a Minister to China to watch over American interests in that quarter, supported by @ fleet of sufficient strength to give efficiency to the Rize of conduct agreed upon. It is stated that Hon. Robert J. Walker will be selected for the mie MOR. The long pending dispue 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 fend, smounting %o $580,000, and the tax heretofore levied ©p our commerce ceases. The New York Charter hill was reported com- plete in the Senate yesterday forenoon, and ordered tea third reading. The amendments are not ma- terial, and be agreed ‘o by the House. By sun Gown to-day, therefore, the long agitated charter wit) nave become a law. In another mn will be found an interes\i Setier from Mre. Henming:on, togetver with stance of two letters from Nicaragua to a gen im this city. One is dated the 19th, the o 26th of March, and they both furnish additiona! eorroboration of the truthfulness of the newe brought by the steamer Texas. We understand tha} Colonel Lockridge stated pre- vious to the sailing of the steamer Texas that he shou) ] 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- ington, as to the certainty of Spain losing Cuba if she carries forward a war against Mexico, is at variance with his well known previous sentiment a= ‘to the perfect ssfety of the island in any eventnual- ity. If Mr. Tassara has changed his mind in that respect it must be, says the Cronica, because the warlike tone of the American journals has made too reat 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; bat that, nevertheless, Count Walewski, the French Minister, on being apprised of the cirenar to the @ipiomate abroad, did not besitate in declaring that pain was perfectly right in exacting reparation or avenging the Llood of Spanish citizens. The Sachems of the Tammany Society met yes terday noon and passed revolutions authorizing the msi) and Savage general committees to appoint two delegates each in every ward to a geaeral coo. 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 » 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 jast longer than the firet 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 triumpb of the emancipation ticket.

Resolations have passed both branches of the Legislature calling on the general government to remove the obstructions to the navigation of Harlem river. 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 intelligence of her being on shore reached the city. Accounts from Ceylon, dated at Colombo on 14th ‘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 cwta. of coffee has 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 cwte., an aggregate frilly 50,000 in advance of that attained at corresponding dates in 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 im favor of the project and several to oppose it. The remonstrants agamst it called for the petition for widening the ‘eet, 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. Sone debate followed concerning t, and the commiti¢e adjourned til! it cou!d be pro- cured. The Surrogate made.a decision in an interesting and novel case yesterday arising upon the will of Wil- Nam Tirrtll. Mr. Pirrill willed his entire estate to bie daughter Efzabeth, during her natural life, with the direction to his executors that if there was apy default in the legacy of said Elizabeth of $10,000 to his adopted daughter Catherine, that tney should pay $10,000 out of his estete to Catherine. Catne- mne died before Elizabeth, and Blizabeth 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- ally entilled 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 the $10,000; also, that the gift was no! 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 Essex 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 Banker's Hil! ‘The authority for the various facts herein contained, was Mr. Zeet Green, one of the “Minute men of Massachusetts,” and a participant in the early struggles of the Revolution. Our very entertaining report is for the present unavoidably rowded out.

Walker's late brilliant viotory near Rivas, as to satuefy us that some stockjobbing scheme un- derlies all these anti-Walker inverltions. Firet, there was tae Wilmington hoax, all the way from North Carolina: next came the gloomy epecula- tions, suspicions end conjectures of the New York va Naseau street manufactared Tribune; next the Nicaragua correspondence of the New York Times; and, lastly, a letter in the Sun, purporting to be from one Captain Anderson, of Walker's army, and giving acock and ball story of the @lorivus victory of the ‘filibuster chief’ of the 16th of Merch. upon which the Sun editorially indulges in a melancholy review of Walker's bopeless situation. Now, we repeat that there must be some stock- jobbing scheme at the bottom of all these « weak inventions of the enemy.” The extracts of the letters trom Gen. Henningsen published in the Herat» ere genuine and from the originals, which we hare seen in the General's handwriting; and we refer the public to an interesting com- munication, published in another column, from Mra. Henningsen relative to those letters. and the way they were received. It would seem, if the accounts given in the other papers be gonu- 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 fought—the allies were badly beaten, and the schemes of the coa- tition were thus not only knocked on the head in Nicaragua, but seriously crippled in New York. Jet us explain. With the sel znre of the San Joan river boats and the occupation of the river forte by the Cos ta Ricans, they concladed that their work of exterminating the filibustere was substantially accomplished, and that the dieposition of the Nicaragua Transit route wae et the discretion of Costa Riea, (Under this delusive idea two agente, Webeter and Anderson, in the fnterest of Costa Rica and “the house of Vanderbilt,” came on to New York to organiz ew Accessory Transit Company unde ictorious anspices of Costa a.

Very well. Let our stockjobbers in the inte- rest of Costa Rica and “the house of Vander- bilt” proceed with their grand 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 ihe re-opening and re-oscupation by him and hie reinforcements 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 ef 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. Arriyton 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, ‘oat the only reason why the Washington Union did not take rank among newspapers on a level with the New York HeraLp 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 thao once—that a great metropolitan newspaper caa only be reared in a metropolis; that you can no more build up a first class newspaper in a dali country town like Washington then you can Taise an Atrican lion among the ices of the pole. The reason is simple; in a place like Wasbing. ton, journalistic independence is impossible, avd without independence, no newspaper can be great. For, in this country, and with our estab. lished notioas, it is a settled thing that no daily newepaper 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 have other sources of income; and of these sources there is but one that is compatible with independence, and that is genera) 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 ike Washington where there ismo trade, and no general industrial movement, usually seek support from the 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 Honse 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, and 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.

The British govern ment bas asked the “alliance ’’ of the United States in the Prosecution of the war with China, but at the same time distinctly announces that this alliance is to ‘mora! co-operation,” and that all the fighting will be done by England and Francs.
