The steamship City of Washington, from Liver- pool at 10 o’clock morning of Wednesday, the 8th inst., arrived also early yesterday morning. The City of Washington brought five hundred and twenty-three passengers. There were two births on the passage. The steamers Leopold I. and Hermann, from New York on the 2st ult., arrived off Cowes on the night of the 3d, the former a few hours in advance of the latter. The mail steamer America, from Boston and Halifax, arrived at Liverpool on the 6th inst. A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople of the lst inst. announces that the English fleet left there on the previous day, making for Malta. The English eounties have already returned 119 liberals (of all shades) against 143 censervatives. The estimate of the London Globe is to the latest time, 365 government, 249 opposition. Gen. Ashburnham is appointed to the command of the military force to be sent to China from Eng- land. Accounts from Athens of the 28th ult. atate that the Senate bad passed a vote favorable to the Mi- Distry. It was considered in India, aecording to the last accounts from China, that the closing of the five Chinese ports against European commeree was im- minent. At last advices the Persian army was firmly posted at Shiraz, and General Buhler was fortifying Arabistan. The Southern provinces were tranquil Reforms are progressing in Turkey. In two cases Christian witnesses have given evidence against Turks in Bosnia, and in both the Mussulmans were found guilty. The passport or card of identity sys tem has been introduced into Bosnia. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has, “for the pre- sent,” declined to conclude with the Papal chair a concordat like the Austrian. At the Glousester assizes,on the 4th inst., a ver- dict ot £500 damages was given against Cardinal Wiseman, at the suit of a French priest named Abbe Roux, lately in a cure at Chelsea, for breach of a contract, upon which the plaintiff alleged that the defendant had received a document signed by the Princess Letitia Bonaparte, niece to the Em- peror of France, which the Cardinal had either lost or disposed of in some other way. The document was an acknowledgment on the part of the lady that she owed Roux 25,000f., which she desired her children would pay as a “sacred debt.” The accouchement of Queen Victoria was daily expected to take place. ‘The English elections are over with a very few exceptions. The new House of Commons will have a strong liberal majority. A fearful tragedy was perpetrated on the 6th at Liverpool. A butcher, named Gibbons, who had been in a desponding state of mind for some time, owing to failure in business, cut the throats of his wife and two of his children, wounding third on the cheek bone. The oldest child, four years old, was quite dead, and the mother and the youngest were not expected to recover. The Emperor of Prussia is said to have definitively given up his intended journey to Western Burope. An order in Council had been issued, prohibiting the importation into England of cattle, or of horses, hoofs, hides or skihs, from those territories of Russia, Prussia or Meckienburg (Schwerin) which lie on the Gulf of Finland, or between the gulf and the city of Lubec. This precaution has been taken to prevent the introduction into England of the infectious dis- ease which is destroying the cattle of the Baltic provinces. ‘The Paris Conference on the affairs of Neuchatel has held another meeting. Two or three points are said to be settled, namely: the amnesties, the par- ticipation on the part of the whole confederation in the expenses of the occupation, also the preserva- tion to the Prince of Prussia of the title of Prince of Neuchatel. Other points are yet distant from settlement, and there will be no further meeting for some days. It is indeed reported that the Conference adjourned sine die in consequence of impracticable demands by Prussia; but our infor- mation on the subject is quite meagre. It is denied that the question of the Danish Duch- jes has been submitted to the exclusive judgment of the Germanic Diet, or that the English and French governments have as yet returned a definite answer to the King of Denmark's request for thei good offices. Both governments have, however, cx- pressed their triendly sentiments towards the king It is thought the Conference now in session at Paris will take up the question of the Duchies as soon as the affairs of Neuchateland the Danubian Provinces are disposed of. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, of the 4th inst., states:—Some seditious movements have been iscovered, and counteracted. Mezico has recog- nized the justice of the demande of the Spanish go- wrrnment. Prussia has ratified the treaty with Denmark re- lative tothe Sound Dues. Ratifications were ex- changed at Copenhagen prior to the Ist instant. ‘The abolition of the Sound dues has cansed very Great satisfaction to all classes in Sweden, as the trade of the country is thns relieved from a yearly tax of no less than a million of rix dollars, or the in- terest of & capital of 26,900,000 rix dollars. The proposed new tariff is a Worthy addition to this treaty, and will place the customs law of Sweden on ‘the most liberal footing, making free trade a reality in that country. ‘The diplomatic rapture between Austria and Bar- Ginis is is Dow complete. As Austria will consider NEW YORK .HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1857. it benesth her dignity to recede, and Sardinia will not make the first advances, the rupture will doubt- less continue some time. Voss’ Gazette gives the following as the principal paseage of a circular despatch, in which the Aus- trian government expresses its views on the present position of the dispute between the Cabinets of Vienna and Turin:— The question has been asked, what signification Aus tria attaches to the rupture of diplomatic ‘relations? It is easy for every one to understand that there is in tat act a serious warning to Piedmont. The foreign Cabinets, par- ticulary those of the two Western Powers, have not wit nessed this stop with indifferent eyes, and they ead: to anticipate ulterior consequences "by friendly “medial At Vienna they will meet with the very best in! : Nothing is demanded of Piedmont but the observance of international rules, and if the mediating powers can ob: ent will be r entrench the preservation of her dignity and of her safety. A letter from Rome of the 27th of March an- nounces that Signor Trasmondi, Governor of the Castle of Patiano, in which seven political prisoners were shot dead when attempting to escape, bas been named Chevalier of the Order Piano. ‘The first ship, a Prussian vessel, has passed the Bound without stopping at Helsingfors or paying toll. ‘The London Court Journal announces that the marriage of the Princeas Royal of England is post- poned till January next. One of the reasons as- signed fer this postponement is that the residence preparing for the Prince and Princess in Berlin will not be completed and fit fer occupation till the end of the year. An unsssigned reason is that the Prin- ceas will only be 17 years of age in November next. Lord Palmerston has given some kind of inti- mation to Baron Rothschild that, if possibie, the Jew question shall be breught forward in the first session of the new Parliament as a Cabinet measure. The Paris Correspondent of the London Times, writing on 6th of April, says:— It is very generally believed that M. de Morny will re. turn soon to Paris. He is now only iting for the treaty of commerce between France and ato be signed; and as we are told that all the articles are agreed on, it is sup: posed that some of the signatures will be affixed in the course of the next month. M. de Morny, it appears, bas Jost much of his influence at St. Petersburg. Certain trans- actions have recently taken place here which have given occasion for a vast deal of gossip; they chielly relate to industrial interests of a complicated nature, in which his name constantly recurred. The Russians think that they do not! add much dignity to the ambassadorial oi whatever they may to the speculator, and they are fore, beginning to look coldly on him. The Emp pears puzzled what to do with him,and would preter keep- ing him at a distance to having him in Paris. If it b It him—for ana: ourt to which he is is expected Grammont, now at Turin, will succeed him, and tl . would in that case be succeeded by M. Meaval, whois now at Munich. The Augsburg Gazette reports that a civil war la likely to break out in Montenegro. The Turkish Gazette of the 24th ult, announces the formation of a permanent diplomatic mission at St. Petersburg. Although the Czar hasalways had a representative at the court of the Sultan there never has been a resident Turkish Minister at St. Petersburg. Hitherto the Turks have contented themselves with sending from time to time extra- ordimary ambassadors, who have always returned as soon as the special object of their mission was at- tained. But when Mehemet Kibrisli 8, who represented Turkey at the coronation @ Moscow, came back, the Chief Secretary, Server Effeadi, remained at St. Petersburg as Charge d’Affaires, ‘and now he will be replaced by Risa Bey, who will have the rank of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. Riza Bey has been a long time in the diplomatic service, and has been successively employed in Paris, Vienna, and Athens, and everywhere he has been deservedly popular. Lord Cowley had been created Viscount and Earl of the United Kingdom, by the titles of Viscount Dangan in Meath, Ireland, and Earl Cowley. The Lords of the Committee of Priry Council for Trade and Plantrtions of England, have received a copy of a despatch fram Her Majesty’s Charge d Affaires at Montevideo, inclosing a copy of decree recently issued by the Montgvidean government, throwing open the ports of Maldanado, Colononia, and Paisander, for the despatch of artieles which may be introduced throagh them from Montevideo, strictly subject to the customs, laws and regula- tions. This permission is not, however, accorded to foreign vessels, the trade being considered as coast- ing trade, from which foreign flags are excluded. The Committee of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations also received a copy of a despatch from Her Majesty's Minister to the Argentine Con- federation, enclosing a copy of a decree explans- tory of a decree of the Argentine government, of the 19th of July last, stating that the capes to which the law of July 19 refers are Santa Maria and San Antonio, at the entrance of the river Plate, and setting forth the regulations relating to the trading and duties laid down by the confederation. James Baren Douglas, of Scotland, died on 6th inst. at’Bothwell Castle, on the Olyde. A despatch from Southampten, England, of 7th of April, says:— The steamer La Plata h that part and by the long y arrangements ntity The p w 4 of the world hi roundabout way of Cape Hora; but now made by the enterp agers of the Panama Rail is shipped to ng steamer, jed by them for the e by railway , and there put on board the West India mail steamers for England. ‘The result is, as in the present case, that the produce is home and probably sold at a time when, under the old system, it could searce t favorable circum borhood of the stormy to thove interested ia the speedy d 'y of consignment. tral America well deserve, and will no doubt receive, their cordial approbation and support. An order was received at Portsmouth on the 7th inst. for expediting, by aight and day work, the gunboat flotilla ordered for China. The Transit iron steam troopship, Commander Ennis Chambers, went to Spithead on {the night of the 6th inst, and left for China with troops. Prussia and Austria have allowed Denmark a fur- ther delay of three weeks for a final answer on tne question of the Duchies. ‘The Lower House of the Prussian Chambers has adjourned to the 16th of April, having voted the balanced budget, the receipta and expenses beth amounting to 120,242,312 thalers. Sardinia is making military preparations in a man- ner not calculated to excite interpellations, The fortifications of Alessandria are being prosecuted with great vigor, and the Nationa! Guard is being reorganised with a view to its furnishing a reeerve for the army. Austria is interfering with the extension of the Sardinia railway system, by impeding its extension into the Duchy of Parma. The greatest anxiety and suspense were felt in the commercial world of Turkey with reference to the new tariff of Russia. Most merchants are keeping back their orders till they know what the new im- port duties on theis articles are to be. A house of business has been opened4n St. Petersburg under the firm of Masurin and Lapin; it is said to be the first instance known in Russia of two Russians car- rying on business in partnership. ‘The amount of gold on its way to England from Australia, and the greater portion of which could not be far distant, was estimated at £200,000, and silver £500.00. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce met on the 6th ot April. Among the communications were tet office on the subject of female cmigraton fon p ae the robbery of specie from.

Bands of emigrants of both sexeg entered the train at the stations of Oranmore, Athenry, Woodlawn, Rallinasloe and Athlone. The authorities have no idea of Ube immeuse drain on the population at present going on. The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce markets state that, although ba- ] port obtained: still th ———- feiness was leas active, prices continued to be well supported, The operations in coffee and sugar had been moderate, owing to the cessation of speculative purchases. In tea no great variation nad occurred, but rates exhibited diminished buoyancy. The let- ters from Rouen mention that the market for manu- factures was inanimate for the season, and that in most branches complaints were made of the limit- ed amount of purchases, ‘The closing prices of American stocks on the 7th of April were:— Minnis 6's, 1875.

As Punch justly says this week, Palmorston, like a theatrical manager ay the commencement of a season, has a capital chance of success, though entirely dependent upon what he pro- duces. “La grande sagesse de Uhomme consiste @ connoitre sea folies,”’ 80 let us hope that past experience will guide him on the road to wisdom. ‘The number of new members returned to Parliament is not over the average, Among the gentlemen there are none of note—no men of world-wide celebrity.

Then we shall see how gentlemen will stick by their pledges. ‘The ballot would effect one of the most wonderful revolu- tions in this country the world ever witnessed. We shall have it yet. There is a sudden change observable among political es. Thoy begin to fear that they have committed themselves rather too strongly to Lord Palmerston, and already we hear them saying, “Well, if the Premier does not do this or that, that will be his own fault, and we shall not hold ourselves bound to him."” Lord John Russell is bidding for and obtaining favor in the eyes of the great liberal party, and if Paimerston ventures pon bis former tricks in the House we shall have Lord John again forming a ministry.

It appears that our forces, with neaily equal numbers with the enemy ‘and an immense superiority in artillery, (eighteen guns to five,) gained a complete victory—and well they might. This kind of glory is not palatable with us, and the majority of the people do not look upon the Persian news as highly gratifying. Feruk Khan, the Persian Ambassador, was invited toa review at Woolwich on Wednesday last, and had an opportunity of seeing the kind of troops and artillery brought to bear against his countrymen: ‘Phe Persian Ambassador smoked his “narghille” and expreased, through the interpreters, his aston- ishment at the alacrity of our artillerymen’s move- mente.

The electors have not considered this isolated matter as relating to the great principle of electing those who will represent the opinions of the majority of the nation. In one of your recent articles on China you state that Lord Palmerston could not have adopted any other course than the one he did. I grant this: all classes of politicians admit that any other ministry would have done the same thing, namely, adopted the acts of their subor- dinates when those subordinates acted in accordance with their instructions; but it seems to be forgotten that it is clerrly proved that Sir John Bowring acted in accordance with secret instructions to seek and find a difficulty, and tha the began upon a false pre- tence, and ended by giving the real one.

Asa general rule, the opinions of diplomatic personages, when they {touch on details, exhibit great ignorance of English institutions, but as a whole, their views have been correct in regard to Lord Palmerston's success in aug menting his party. Tam not sure that, au fond, the Napoleonists are trans ported with delight at the extraordinary success which everything, at the date I write, seems to promise the English Premier, Lord Palmerston has shown a disposi. tion more than once to put a drag-chain on the Emperot's pro-ominent {influerioe, and though originally he essen: tially served the Imperial turn at the great coup d? fat and by bis hearty concurrence in the Rastern war, the best of instruments are apt to become bluat afer the Ars opera: Bs thy ; é : ; . 4 2 z i f 7 i Be i : iff é é A He i | pis ~, i i i 3 i 5 A i 3 i 5 3 3 z be ? i BY i 1] i tf | E; E 3 ik =z F i g i E i i i i 2 aS for French taste, As regards England, 1 never pormitted myself for an instaxt the result of the pier abt ple.

To say that he it to his genial manners and imperturbable good would not be true, as the effect of these must, after au, confined to a very narrow circle; and it therefore can be that he is looked upon as the ‘marry, come up" pluck of the English nation—strengthened by a very pre lent belief that the growing power of Napoleon wants sul a man to stand in the way, while at the same timo he seed to go with him.

On the whole, opinions erally will reooguize his houors as having been worth e . The ugly feature of the day is the precarious position o Vienna and Sardinia. The mutual withdrawal of their ri resentative does not, of course, imply what is diplomat catically termed ‘violent resolutions,” ward sign of the times when two countries bordering o euch other take such a step; and like two members of th same household who refuse to speak to each other, it iq difficult to guess what the nextstepmay be. This, it seems, is the way in which matters were managed. Count Paar 0 the 22d of March has an interview Ce M. de Cavour, ing from King Emanuel orders for the recall of his am. bassador, the Marquis Cantano. The Charge d’Affaires 0 Sardinia was then, with the whole legation, recalled fr Vienna, by an order dated March 23; the ambassador off France having engaged, at Vienna, to protect the intere ported to some Oriental shore, where the manners, dress and customs of Europeans were unknown. The Em- press looks well, but worn. A brilliant soiree was given the other night at the hot 4 of Mchemid Djemil Bey, the Ottoman . 7 principal fashionables of Parisian society were present also a number of persons sistingiced i polis q ture and art. The whole of the diplomatic corps, incl: , the Papal Nuncio, were also among the guests. The bassador, assisted by the atfachés of the embassy, did the honors with the utmost attention and cordial politeness. At half-past 10 o’clock there was @ concert in which Mes- dames Gabel and de Luzzi, aud MM. Gaidoni, Faar, and Graziani took part. Madame Ristori lately brought an action before the civil tribunal against M. Calzado, director of the Italian theatre, to compel him to the ‘theatre at her disposal on the first of April. She represented that she had hired the house from that date, and though her first performauce was only to take place on the 2d, she should want the theatre on the lst, in order to make in the scenery, have a rebearsal, &e., &c. M. € im answer stated that he had let the theatre to Madame Ristort on condition that it should be at his disposal three Wednes- days in the month, and ax the Ist of April fell on a Wed- nesday, he contended that his right to keep it on that day was undoubted. Besides, the pretensions of the lady were unreasonable, inasmuch as the concert of M. Alary was to take place in the evening, she had all the day in which to make her preparations. The Tribunal at once rejected Made. Ristori’s application. ‘The dreadful tragedy impersonated by Verges and tho ‘ate Archbishop of Paris has left wholesome results. Tho ‘omineering propensities of the higher clergy over the ia ferior has become a subject of continual interest. Tho Bishop of Moulins, who has been suspended, does not by means stand alone, and the efforts of certain parties to jevate him to the dignity of a martyr will not avail.
