A bill passed the Assembly making it a misdemeanor for any person to squat or erect a hut, shanty or any habitation on vacant lots in any city or incorporated Village in this State, and giving power te recover immediate There are now more than three thousand shanties erected by Irish and Ger- man squatters on vacants lots in this city alone, and their summary removal would create a rebellion. The bill authorizizg the corporation of New Yerk to borrow $350,000 for market sites and buildings | was laid on the table. Messrs. Glover, Handford and Sluyter were named as the members of a joint | committee to examine and report as to the pro | priety of bridging or tunnelling the East river. The session wound up last evening with a disgraceful fracas, during which Mr. Beckwith, of Withington, strock Mr. Hastings, of Albany, a violent blow. The affray grew out of an altercation relative to the bill making appropriations for the Executive depart- ment. A committee was appointed to investigate the circumstances. We publish to-day some Interesting extracts from our European fies received by the steamships Wash- ington and City of Manchester yesterday morning. The Spanish government had refuved to receive the envoy from Mexico, and declined the proffered me- diation of the Emperor Napoleon towards a settle- ment of the existing difficulties with that republic. ‘The first division of the Spanish fleet, as reported yesterday morning, would sail on the 28th of March, and rendezvous at Havana. Lord Palmerston had addrened to his constituents in Tiverton a spirit- ed defence of his policy, mixed up with some sharp sercaems on the tactics of his opponents. Mr. Brett had delivered a lectare in London on the laying of submarine telegraphs, in which he made allusion to the difficulties and facilities of the transmission of messages by the transatlantic wires to the United States. Turkey invites a general Christian settle ment of emigrants on her soil, from all countries, ander very favorable circumstances. The Manches- ter Guardian, p protectionist paper, is very severe im ite comments on Mr. Buchanan's inaugural ad- dress. Hugh Orr, the master of an English veasel, had been sentenced to transportation for life, at Exe- ter, for the murder of @ Boston negro (the cook) on beard his sbip. By way of England we have news from South America. The duties are:—Buenos Ayres Ist, Mon- tevideo Sth, and Rao Janeiro 25th of February; Bahia Yet, and Pernambuco 34 of Mareh. Yellow fever prevailed ot all the ports, principally among the shipping, of a malignant sharacter. In Buenos Ayres there had been a modification of the law with regard to differential duties, by which ships can discharge part of their cargo at Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, and proceed up the river with the remainier.

The telegraphic despatch sent from London to Liverpoc!, announcing that the Emperor of China had disapproved of the course pursued by the Can- ton authorities, and ordering them to make friends with the Englieh, was not credited on ‘Change yes- terday, and produced no effect on the price of teas ‘or other Chinese goods. Sales of teas were freely made during the day, and at very fall prices. ‘We publish elsewhere details of the news from, Mexico to the 16th ult.,a brief summary of which received by telegraph from Nev Orleans, appeared several days since. Our correspondent at Laguayra (Venezuela), writing on the 9th ult., predicts that the claim to ‘the Aves guano island will be desided im favor of the American claimants. The claims of our citi gens, growing out of the war of independence, had been energetically pressed by the American Minis ter, but the pecuniary embarrassments of the go vernment will doubtiess greatly retard a final settle- ment. The new constitution had been adopted by Congress, bat it was not believed that it would afford any relief. There were symptoms of a revo lotion, and an ontbresk at eny moment was looked upon as probable.

A resolution inquiring as to the expediency of con- structing a tunnel in Broadway wa; presented. The Board concurred with the Board of Aldermen in remonstrating against the action of the Legislatare in reference to the passage of laws affecting the welfare of our city. The report of the special com- mittee on the affairs of the Manhattan Gas Com- pany was accepted and the resolution adopted, but was slightly amended by suggesting that all gas companies should be prohibited from making any charge for metres. It is stated that the Rev. Isaac S. Kalloch, whose recent trial for adultery in Boston resulted in the jury being unable to agree, will insist upon having a new trial, be feeling confident that the result will be an acquittal. The Boston Journal says, in refe- rence to the report that the Rev. Mr. Kalloch had determined to enter on the study of law, that it has been “authentically informed that the statement was incorrect,” and that his intention is toresume his ministerial duties. The steam frigate Niagara did not proceed te sea | yesterday on her trial trip, owing to an accident to hermachinery. It is thought that the necessary repairs will be completed in a week or ten days. ‘The cotton market was rather quiet yesterday, with salev oar ut 800.0 1,000 bales, closing without change fm quotations.

Apother Bombehell fiom Worcester—Eli Cheyer and the Old Dominion—All the Border Glave States Calling for Eit—Come and Welcome! Our recent publications concerning the grand project of Hon. Eli Thayer and his associates for the free white re-colonization, resuscitation and regeneration of Old Virginia, and especially the late practical and brilliant manifesto of Mr. Thayer, have created a most remarkable sensa- tion among our Virginia newspaper cotempora-. ries. Those belonging to the ultra nigger driving echool can hardly find expletives strong enough for the expression of their wrath. “Zhe South,” the new fire-eating organ of Master Pryor, at Richmond, is particularly savage. It looks upon | this contemplated introduction into the poor old State ef more white settlers with unmixed hor- ror. Master Pryor will have nothing of the sort. | He calls upon the Governor—the terrible Gover- por Wise—to be on the gui vive; he dares Eli Thayer to show himself in Old Virginia; he threatens his colonists with hempen ropes and grapevines, and various other implements of tor- ture; and right and left the stupid nigger organs and nincompoops of the State repeat the same silly and pitiful threatenings. At this stage of the controversy—when this crazy excitement and these dreadful apprehen- sions of the Virginia newspapers are provoking the mockery, the ridicule, the jeers and laughter and the contempt of the North and the rest of the country—out comes Eli Thayer with another ma- nifesto, which we spread before our readers on the first page of the paper. It is brief; but it is full of solid matter as an egg is of meat. The facts which he communicates are really astouading. They indicate with peculiar force that in this movement of these Homestead emigration com- panies, a new epoch commences in the political, | speculative and social history of this country. | Mr. Thayer tells us that since the publication of his scheme in the Hrratn, he has received letters from North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and | “in great numbers from Southern and Western Virginia, all heartily approving the scheme, and all earnestly entreating us to send our colonies to their respective localities.” He says that “we have been offered over five millions of acres of Virginia lands, at prices varying from fitty cents to one dollar an acre.” ¥ Now, what do these facts signify? They show, of Virginia better understand their interests than any of those crack-brained nigger-orgau blowers who believe in nothing but niggera | “The people” of Virginia, Mr. Thayer telis us, “are waiting for the friendly invasion.” It isthe Virginia nigger driving politicians, who own neither lands nor niggers, that are the noisest in their threats against this free white emigration tcheme. Follow the teachings of these wretched philosophers of the Virginia party press, and she will stick to their policy of isolation, depop- ulation and decay. She will stick to her beggarly towns and more beggarly villages, to her leaky, dilapidated and deserted old mansions, ,to her “wasted fields of broom sedge” and those “stamp tailed steers” so graphically described by Gov. Wire. She will still glorify her rags aed her poverty, and wrapping herself up in her resolu- | tions of '98 and ’99, and gathering into her em- brace her improvident and lazy niggers, she will white “outside barbarians.” She will thus have half finished railroads through uninhabited dis- tricta in due time brought to the hammer, on ac- count of unpaid debts, till bankruptcy and repu- diation shali have worked out her ruin and dis grace. Then, perhaps, she will discover the full extent of her stupidity and her folly. But we would now ask in her behalf, why this folly of obstinate, voluntary starvation? Would it not be better to invite bona fide, industrious free white immigrants from all quarters to come in, and welcome? Come in—come settle our waste lands, rebuild our decayed towne and beg- garly villages, open our mines, establish factories, finieh our railroads, enlarge our cities, increase our commerce, and strengthen us and enrich us, on the land and on the sea, by your | willing hands! You are welcome among | us, if ye will but enhance our real estate, our houses, lands, mines, mill seats, &o., | fifty, seventy-five, a hundred, two, three and four | hundred per cent, as this business is done ia Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, through those «teat weetern free State crusades of emigration, Do this, and while our sons and daughters are | making the tour of Europe, or enjoying the eum- | mer at New York, Saratoga, Niagara and the great lakes, we at home will be settling up our | debte, extending our railroads and ornamenting | our estates, | And such will be the practical results from the free white re-colonization of Virginia, sooner or later. She may postpone or she may hasten the | day of her deliverance. In the meantime the bill incorporating Meesrs, Erastus Corning. Rollin Sanford, Charles A. Stetson, John A. ©. Gray, John E.

Association, bas passed one branch of our Legis- Jatuse and will shortly become a law. Here are democrats, republicans and Know Nothings all mixed together. in 8 common enterprise of money | making. Their whole scheme is a land specula- tion—nothing more—and their operations will extend to every State where they can make the | best bargains for themselves and their settlers, If they are excluded from Virginia, they can find plenty of spare lands for their five millions capi- tal in Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and Miscouri. The true policy of Virginia, however, is to give a hearty welcome to this proposed immigration. The natural drift of African slavery is towards the tropics, aud there is no help for it, In the course of time the insti- tution must disappear from Virginia under this natural Jaw. Walker and Henuingsen have com- menced the work of a great Southern Anglo- | Saxon cotton, sugar and coffee producing empire in Central America, which in time will create ench ahigh price for Virginia niggers as to clean | out the State. And so with regard to Kentucky | and Missouri. The military, commercial and | emigration movements of the day comprehend | the greatest social and political chaages on this continent, from Virginia and Missouri to Nicata- ; gua and Costa Rica. : Let Old Virginia wake up. Let her no longer | play the dog in the manger. Let her invite a fair proportion of the industrious moving mil- | lions of Europe and the North into her borders | to replace her thousands upon thousands of lusty | and enterprising children who have been de- serting her for fifty, yea, sixty years, to repair | their own fortunes in building up other States. ; Let our Virginia newspaper cotemporaries also | cease to play the fool; cease to be a source of fun, laughter and contempt among prastical | people, and try in their discussions of this sub- | ject the moral power of common sense; for de- | pend upon it, that in this day of practical things , the dog that is in the manger must come down. | [he Present Anti-Slavery Excitement and its Consequences. The New York 7ritune objects to our remarks on Dr. Cheever’s malediction of the Supreme | Court, and concludes that “ passive obedience to | law is not and never will be the foundation of | government in this couatry.” The Tribune re- minds us that the American clergy denounced | the Stamp act in spite of Lord Mansfield’s deci- sion, and implies that, from the same motives, apd with the same intent, they now denounce the law of the land in reference to colored per- sons, in spite of the decision of Chief Justice Ta- ney and his associates. The religious prees is full of arguments on the same question. The New York Independent talks | of “provocation that would betray Michael the Archangel into railing accusations against Sa- tan,”’ “visions of goblins damned,” “incarnation of evil,” &c., &c, and concludes that the State of New York has become merely a province un- der a species of tyrannical deepotism of which the federal government is the head. On the other hand, the New York Observer, the organ of another set of pious persons, and a great rival in business to the Independent, intimates that Dr. Cheever should be hung, and that he and all his friends are ‘not perhaps deranged in intellect, but madness is in their heart.” ‘This excitement is evidently spreading, and in a few weeks we shall have the three thousand clergymen of New England all preach- ing in the most violent strain after the fashion of Cheever, and inculcating the duty of disobe- dience to old and youag. The whole North will evidently be preached into rebellion against the | highest constituted Court in the country; and simultaneously, it is but natural to suppose that | the Southern preachers will have their say on | their side of the question. Thus, in the course | of afew weeks, it is poesible that the pulpits will | be ranged into two bostile camps, each fulminat- | ing fury againet the other, and at least one of | them teaching the moral duty of disoneying “the powers that be which are ordained of God.” There is no iesne between ourselves and the | chief promoters of this excitement such as the New York Trilune, We admit that revolution | isa natural right inherent in every people, and | that no established law is eo encred that it must | necessarily be unforgiveable to destroy it by re- | volutionary force. We do think that reapect for | law is the foundation of our government; and | herein, it seems we differ from the Tribune: but | on the main proposition that that reepect may be | carried too far, we are precisely of the Zribune's | | way of thinking. The only question between us | is—has the Dred Soott case provided an issue | sufficient for the basis of a revolution? and has | the time come when disloyalty is the | virtue and loyalty the crime’ The Tribune | replies yee, we reply no to these questions. The Tribune compares the Dred Scott decision to the | Stamp act, and arguee that because clergymen were carried away by the general revolutionary necessities of those days and preached against the Stamp act, therefore they should do the liketo-day in reference to the late judgment of the Supreme Court. But we do not think that the Dred Scott case is a perfect parallel to the Stamp act; nor do we consider that it can be necessary under any circumstances to rise in arms to refute it. ‘The Tribune, Dr. Cheever, and that party ge- nerally evidently hold that this is the time for revolution, and that the sooner the first blow is struck the better. They want to see the Dred | Scott case followed hy the same consequences as the Stamp act; a general rebellion against law and authority; a muster of men and a hasty arming against the federal authorities at Wash- ington; and a new Lexington, and Bunker Hill, on the ground of slavery. They pant for a civil | war with the South; invasions of the slave States, and bot appeals to eervile insurrections; the burning of cities; the massacre of women and children; the utter devastation of a happy coun- try. They desire to bring upon ourselves all the miegeries of a disorganized government, and a shattered society; of a war with onr own kin- dr of interrupted commerce, strangled indus- try, impeded intercourse between the States; of declining cities, deserted seaports, and stagnant ; marts; of the utter failure of the only true repub- lican experiment ever made in the world. All this the 7rilune wanta, becanse the Supreme Court decides that negroes are not citizena What next? Tue Miseton To Crixa—The Hon Wm. B. Reed of Philadelphia will shortly leave this coun. | try on a most important mission, He goes to China to represent the United States during the contest which has just begun between the Chi- nese and the maritime Powers of Europe. It is understood that Mr. Reed owes his appointment in some respect to the recommendations of Ro- bert J. Walker, whore intimacy he at one time enjoyed, and, thongh formerly acting with an opposite party, whoee views yn the eudjegt of Mr. Reed’s mission, though in poiat of nominal ram beneath that of France and England, will in all probability be far more important than either in its practical results to commerce and civilization. At the time of writing our news from China is enveloped in some obscurity; it is not porsible to say exectly what is the condition of affairs in that part of the world: but, in the ab- tence of authentic evidence, the story of the con- ciliatory attitude of the Emperor of China must be received with caution. But we are more in- clined to place credence in the report of a forci- ble opening ot the ports of Japan by some Eng- lich vessels of war. This is really a likely occur- rence; no doubt the English commanders in the Pacific—like Sir Michael Seymour—have been in- structed to stand no nonsense, and have availed themselves of the first pretext to bring the Japanese to their senses. But with regard to China, we have no reason to state anything with certainty except that a state of hostility exists there, and is likely to last. Mr. Reed will go out to that region not to make war, but if possible to gain admission to the great thoroughfares of Chinese trade, and to obtain a reception for himself or his successor at Pekin, without fighting. Whether he can suc- ceed in doing this, cannot of course be predicted with apy certainty, though the Chinese seem to be favorably disposed toward us asa general rale, and may perhaps offer us facilities which, until bad}y beaten, they may refuse to their ene- mics, But Mr. Reed may not improbably fill a more important station still as umpire between the combatants.: He is the most likely person to be chosen; and should he be competent for the post, he may abeolutely find himself giving the law to-both sides.
