The News, ‘We have four days later news from Europe, by the arrival of the steamships Fulton and City of Wash- ington at this port yesterday morning, respectively from Southampton and Liverpool on the 8th inst They brought seven hundred and thirty-eight pas- sengers, and the Fulton landed $140,000 in specie. A good deal of anxiety was expressed in England to know the exact nature of toe amendments made by the Senate to the Dallas-Clarendon treaty. The document reached Liverpool on the 6th, and specu- lation was already rife as to ita merits and tendency. Up to the latest accounts 365 supporters and 249 opponents of the government had been re'urned to the new Parliament, giving thus fara majority of 116 in favor of Lord Palmerston’s administration. There is nothing new from China. The English government had ordered the fitting out, with extra- ordinary despatch, of an extensive flotiila of steam gunboats, destined for the Chinese waters. Gen. Ashburnham is to command the military forces in China. An opinion prevailed that the five ports of the empire would be closed against foreign trade. Advices from Madrid state that Mexico has given perfect aatisfaction to Spain. The war furore was abating, as government feared that the fate of Cuba would be held in the balance if hostilities were once commenced. The Nenchatel Conference in Parts had settled some of the points in dispute between Prussia and Switzerisnd, but many others remained to be nego- tiated, and an extended adjourcment was voted. The diplomatic rupture between Austria and Sar- dinia was complete, and it was thought that neither of the Powers would make an advance towards a re- newal of official intercourse for a long period. ‘The Danish Sound dues treaty had been fully rati. fied, and a Prussian vessei—the first—had passed the Sound without paying toll. The Danish Custom House bad issued a circular for the guidance of ship- masters. In Turkey the Sulten was pushing on reforms in every department. The English fleet had sailed from Constantinople. Montenegro was on the eve ofa civil war. France and England bad perfected a convention relative to the rights of reciprocal trading on the west coast of Africa and in the river Gambia, and the Kings of Siam had made a treaty with the great Pewers of Europe which embraced a liberal com- mercial tariff. ‘The Prince of Wales had visited the works where ‘the submarine telegraph cable is being manufactur. ed, and was received by Mr. Field and other gentle- men covnected with the great work. An interest- ing article on the subject of submarine telegraphing is given elsewhere. The English money market was very tight, al- though the arrivals of specie were large. The Bank of Engiand had advanced the rate of discount to seven percent. Cotton and flour were dull and de- clising in Liverpool. At forced sales of flour a de- cline of one shilling per barre! on last prices was submitted to. Consols sre quoted at 92f a 934. At Singspore, on the 18th of February, gold dust sold at, Malayan 0 o 30:50, and Austrahan 29:25 8 30 per bunkal. A tull report of the decision of the French courts in the action brought against the captain of the bark Adriatic for collision with the steamer Lyonnais, may be found in another columa. It will be seen that the French tribunals have taken a widely diffe- rent view of the case than would be supposed rrom the ex porte statements made by Lieut. Luguidre and his companions in misfortune on their arrival at this pert on board the bark Blise. Capt. Durham, of the Adriatic, ie not merely found innocent of canning the collision, but i# fully exonerated from all and every secusation of inhumanity in not remain- ing by the Lyonnais after the accident. The deci- sion will be found highly interesting. Mr. Geo. R. Herrick, the writer of # communiva- tion from Washington which appeared in the Hgeaty some week or two ego, and which has attracted reat attention by the disclosures made therein of how fraudulen’ claims are passed at the departments, sends usa long communication, de- signed to support the charges then made, and to justify bis conduct in making the exposure. Mr. Herrick holds an official position in Washing- ton, of which, it seems, he is sought to be deprived for his connection with thie matter. He therefore prepared this communication an ex- culpatory sense, and requested the Washington Union to publish it, ev it hed published articles against him, but that organ had no! the fairness to comply with the request. He sent it to us, and our readers will find it elsewhere. He divides his first letter imto twenty-four specifications, the larger part of which he undertakes to prove; and he quali- fies, though not in any important manner, the residue. By the bye, baw was it that—as we find from Attorney Genera? Black's opinion on the ‘Thompson claim—the clause ordering the payment was passed with a proviso, whieh Provigo does not appear on the enrolled bill’ Information Gen. Scott appeared yesterday before th mittee of the Common Council to sid yoshi ascertaining which of the valiant sons of New York in the late war with Mexioo is entitled to the dis tinotion of being the recipient of General Jackson's gold anufl box. Gen. Scott refers to the brigadiers who served during the campaign as being better qualified, by actual observation on the field of | battle, to decide the question. He kindly tendered his services in pursuing the necessary inquiries, whioh wore thankfully sceepted by the committee. | The gallant veteran was received and bis sugges | tions listened to with profound attention. The cashier and confidential clerk of Beck & Co., merchants, on Broadway, was arrested yesterday, | charged with a defaloation amounting to the san of $150,000. This defalcation has been spread over & perioc of about four years, and is the result, it is stated, of extensive specuiattens in faney railroad and other stocks, Wall strect has, without doubt, absorbed the greatest part of* the misting money. ‘Tho beers of the Btock Exchange have, no doubt, pocketed the bnik of this epeculotor's stealings.

NEW YORK HERALD WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1857. from Cardiff for New York, sprung aleak, and sunk on the 2d inst., in latitude 47, tongitude 40. The crew were taken off, and have arrived at Halifax. The trie! of an action was commenced yesterday in the United States District Court, before Judge Bette, at the suit of the government against Jere- miah Towle, late Naval Officer, to recover an alleged balance of $6,600 which Mr. T. claims he has a frittered away the time they were in session by discussing the propriety of raising the salary of the Warden of the city prison from $1,500 phon year; and finally adjourned without the vexed question. It was stated during the debate '| that $140,000 per year is spent in salaries by the Governors, being one-sixth of the whole appropria- tion they yearly disburse. There are now 6,156 persons in the institntioms under the charge of the Governors, which shows # decrease since winter of nearly a thousand persons. The District Attorney yesterday in the Court of Sessions moved for a postponement of the trial of Thomas Deniny, charged with arson. Two of the prisoners incarcerated in the Tombs made affidavits stating that Deniny said the reason why he was not convicted in January was because one of the jurors was a Free Mason, and also that he furnished Louis Baker with the names of the jurors empanelled for this term, requesting him to see all the Free Masons and prepossess them in his favor. The-crowded state of our columns will net allow of our pablisking the affidavits in fal. - Elizabeth Smith and Mary Ann Taylor, two fash- ionably dressed females, bat notorious shoplifters and pickpockets, were brought before the Court of Special Sessions yesterday morning and set at liberty, by paying a fine of $25 each. The Re- corder said the evidence against them was very clear, apd he should sen? em to the penitentiary, fer they had been committing depredations upon oar citizens for a long time, but owing to their respectable appearance had escaped de'ection. As soon as the decision was,rendered' their counsel ran out of the court room to procure the money. The Canal Commiasioners have decided to open the New York canals on the 6th of May next. The cotton market yesterday was quiet and unsetiled. The Furopean news disappointed the expectations of dealers, but the accounts coming to hand from all parts of the South, including Texas, representing a backward «pring and injury in many places from frost, making it necessary to replant, tended to counteract the effects of the foreign nows; yet as neither sellers nor buyers were disposed to press matters, no sales of moment transpired. The light stock of floor in this market, with a good local and Eastern demand caused itto remain buoyant under the foreign news, with fair sales at unchanged prices. Prime wheat was also scarce and firm, with a good milling demand. Southern prime white sold at $160. Corn was firm, with sales of Western mixed at 72, sad new Southern yellow at 73c. ce. Por k was easier, with sales of new mess at $22 60 a $22 70. Sugars for the two days, yesterday and day before, were firm and active. The sales embraced in that period were about 15,000 bags of Manila, part for Philadelphia; about 1,500 hhds. malado, 600 for Philadelphia; 1,200 bhds, Cuba muscovado; 75 do. Porto Rico, and 500 boxes, all at rates given in another column. Molasses were also active, with sales of about 900 hhds. Cuba, at rates given elsewhere, Coffee continued firm, with moderate sales. For stock, &c., we refer to another column, Freights, with the ex- ception of rosin for London, were inactive, and rates heavy. To that port 5,000 bbis. rosin were engaged at 2s. dd., and 2,000 do. at 2s. The Arrivals from Europe—Gunboats. in China. Among the news brought by the Falton and City of Washington is an item to the effect that the English government has jumped at the opportunity of employing ageiast the Chi- nese the gunboat flotilla prepared for the war against Russia, and that an advance squad- ren of gunboats is to leave directly for the Chinese waters This is an appropriate corollary to the verdict of the English people on the ques- tion submitted to them at the election. It is now abundantly evident that whatever the Em- peror of China, and his Governor Yeh may do or say, the war is going to be prosecuted in earnest. A war with the Chinese differs from every other war in the manner of waging it. At our latest accounts foreigners were undisturbed at Shang- hae, and the resident Mandarins felt, or appeared to feel no particular resentment for the bombard- ment of Canton. M. Huc assures us that the people of the interior provinces, whose know- ledge of navigation is confined toa trip on the canal, or a short voyage on the Blue or Yellow rivers, will hardly admit consanguinity with the people of the sea coast, whose feelings they do not share, and whose mode of living they hardly understand. Now, in warring with a people thas essentially divided, and under the control of an authority too weak to coerce enlistment or even resistance to an invader, » Geueral will obviously pursue a policy different from that which he would adopt in prosecuting hostilities against a Power like the United States or Engiand. He will con- tent himself with inflicting injury on thore por- tions of the people whose positive hostility he has made sure of, and will do his best to con- ciliate the rest. This may be assumed to be the course projected by the commander-in-chief of the gunboat flotilla, There are two great rivers in China, the one 2,000, Me other 2,900 miles long, with conflu- ents scarcely inferior in length. Of these the one, the Hoang-ho, a mighty river which over- flows its banks every four or five years, and tubmerges hundreds of persons and reillions of property, may be navigable for boats of light Graft during 1.200 miles of its length, exolasive of takes and tributaries. The other, the Yang-tae- Keang, is even more magnificent. For two hun- dred iniies shipe of the line can sail up it; for two thourand it is covered with junks, trade and pleasure boats. It has been cetimated that be- tween it and its tributaries, light vessels could find over twelve thousand miles of inland navi- gation. Besides these, there is the great oanal, which rupe at right angies to the rivers, and bears upon ite becom a fleet of sailing craft larger than the whole tounage of the United States. This wonderful network of internal waters is the destination of the British gunboats Their light draft will enable them to creep up the rivers and lakes without obstacle, aod we apprebend, when they get out of the pro- vinces of Juan-teung, and one or two others on he seaboard, they will meet with oo obstacle, other commodities whick the Kast India Company has to interchange with Chica. While we have uo gunboats to aeud to China, and propose to eend none, we trust that Mr. Reed will not lose sight of the necessity of obtaining on fair terms share of the trade to be secured to the maritime nations, Auy expense to be borne will probabiy fall on the Chinese; but should a payment of money be necessary to secure our participation in a future free trade between China and San Francisco, our surplus multiplying and expanding in every direction — private acd public credit is cwelllag to & fright- fal magnitude—speculations of afl kiuds rising ap to thouseads of millions—high and fast living at cyormoes rates is spreading over every rank of society, The finameinl, social, industrial aad political excitements will all meet in one concentrated crisis, perhaps in two or three yeare—come time ia 1859 or ’60—and then prepare for a oraah euch as the United States pever have yet seen or imagined im all its could not be better invested. pact history. meanoti cs hice Rallrosd Systems and Hailrend Manage Stavsry as A Reriatous Isgue—Tax Metuo- hevaioged pst Caurca Resowrions—The annual con- ference of the New York (Bast) Methodist Epis- copal Charck, in session for some days past in Brocklyn, bas been takiag stroog abolition ground on the slavery question, The Committee on Stavery (majority report) submitted the fol- lowing reselutions :— Resolved, That we rogard slavery a5 a great moral and social evil, & violation of the rights of man, and opposed to the spirit and progress of he Christian religion. Resolved, That we will use what influence we possess to pr its extension into regions and communities in Which it does not at present cxixt, and will,use all means” that my with propriety be used by Christian minikers to eifect abs exuirpation from the world, : rhe The Rev. Mr. Grove, acting under a broader principle of Christian’ philanthropy, ‘offered the following minority report :— Resolved, That we regard slavery as a great evil, Great ening the peace and prosperity.of this republic, the perma- nence of the Union, and-the stability of the government. Resolved, That the Methodist Episcopal Church has been from its commencement anti-slavery in spirit, both by pre and example. Resolved, ‘That the action had by the late General Con ference of our church on the question of slavery furnishes us with cause for gratitude and thanksgiving to God for favorable resulta to the church, giving her peace and pros- perity in all her labors. Resolved, That while we are opposed to slavery, and have no sympathy with the institution, at the same ‘time we are equally opposed to the radical measures and reckless policy pursued by many of the professed friends of the slave for his emancipation, and that we have no sympathy whatever with (heir revolutionary movements. Resolved, That as ministers of the gospel we will do what we can, not inconsistent with our calling, for the ex- tirpation of the great evil of slavery; and that while we endeavor “to break every yoke, and let the oppressed go free,” we will pray for the master and slave, as well as for kings and all that are in authority, that we may lead ‘a quiet and penceable life in al! godliness and honesty. One would naturally think that these latter reso- lutions would be etrong enough for ary reasonable professor of the principles of the Christian faith who believes African slavery to be an evil, but not so with the overwhelming majority of this New York Methodist Conference. They “did not be- lieve in the policy cf letting the matter rest,” but they “believed in agitating it till the last of the accureed system should be driven from the land.’ Accordingly, the bricf, explicit, no-compromise, and no-querter resolutions of the majority were almost unanimously adopted. ‘This is but another of the numerous straws in the wind, all tending to show that the religious element of the slavery agitation in the next Pre- sidential election will be ss a furnace seven times heakd compared with the Northern crusade of the campaign of 56. It is buts week or two since that the Young Mea’s Christian Union of this city, (whioh bad excluded the agitation of slavery from its councils last fall, dotwithetacd- ing the universal excitement upon the subject,) receded from this neutral ground, sud substar- tially volunteered its services in sapport of the great Northern coalition already musteriug its legione tor the terrible battle of 1860. Men are deluded who say there will be peace. Simul- taneously with these religious movemeuts the proceedings of the New York, Ohio and other Northern Legislatures on the Dred Scott case, give abundant warning of what is before us. Mr. Buobanan, we are assured, ia fally alive to the tremendous import of these eigns of the times; is fully resolved to edhere to the landmarks of the coustitution; and is in @ position to act con- sistently, steecily and independently, regardiess of factions, sects or sections; but who is there to ride the etorm of sectional hate, party frenzy, finazoial rascality, and religious fanaticiam of 1860? Let prudeat men prepare to take in gail. Recent events are attracting general attention to the subject of the railway aystem and railway management in the United States. The facta on which all parties are agreed are few and cicar We have built, in this couatry, ia round num- bers, twenty-six thousand miles of railway, at a cost of twelve hundred millions of dollars, dis- tributed between stock and bonds with or with- out capecial security in the shape. of mortgage or sinking fund. A large portion of this stock and these bonds is held by cities and municipa!itics, and waa taken—not §san investment for s.:pius _money—tho cities and wa test «ving none | to invest—but aa encouragement ‘0 projected ‘roads, and as 4 meansef hastening their compie- tion in view of the indirect benefits io be derived therefrom: The balance is‘ chiefly held by per- sons owning land or property of various kinds along the line of the roads, A amali portion of too stock—and a much smaller portion of the bonds—is in the hands of capitalista and speca- lators in Wall street. That the investment of evea so large a sum as twelve humdred millions dollars in this class of enterprises was eminently judicious, must be obvious to every careful observer. Rail- roada have beea, under Providence, the very greatest of all instrumeats for the advancemedt and developement of this vast country. Without railroads, we should have had nothing worth notice west of the Mis- sissippi; the great States of Ohio, Indiana and Llinols would have contained a few settlers only on the lake and river shores; New York would have etill been three-fourths a desert; the popu- lation, and the trade, and the production, and the greatness of this country would not have been, a quarter of a century hence, what they are now. It is to railroads—to the facilities they afford for cheap, rapid aud regular transit— that the United States owe the prodigious rate of progress which has distinguished them during the past fifteen years. It is not possible to esti- mate in dollars the benefit they have beeu to the country. But were we to look only to the en- hanced value which they have given to real estate, twice their cost—twice twelve hundred millions—would bear a very small proportion to the gain we have derived from them. The misfortune—what rose is without its thorn !—of our rallroad system is that we have attempted two incompatible things simulta- neously—to build railroads for the developement of the couatry, and also to make money out of them as industrial enterprises. We have wanted to get two profits out of the same money. We have resembled the avaricious hero im the piay who wanted to lend his money 80 as to get in- terest for it, but could not bear the thought of not feeling it in his own pocket all the time. And the consequence is that now that the error of our calculations is beooming apparent, the discovery is leading to some disappointment aud beartbarning, and we fear to = great deal of fraud. Common seose might have told every one that | if railroads were to be built with the prime ob- | ject of opening up the couatry—that is to say, | with cheap rails, one track, hasty structures, and | slow tariff of charges—as all our railways are | built, they could not be expected to atiain the se- condary object ot making money as common | carriers. Avarice suggested that they might; | and from the first, it was a tacit instruction to the managers of almoet all the roads in the coun- try to manages their enterprises 23 they pleased, | but on no consideration to fail to poy dividends, | This instruction has beca pretty uniformly obey- | ed. There have been perhaps a few cases in | which, owing to peculiar ciroumstances, it was possible to do so honestly, No doubt there are roads in the West which, inthe absence of com- peting lines, running through a table country, and levying high rates of toll, have earned a profit for two or three years together. But asa general rule, it was quile appareat from the start, and has become more 60 every year since, in proportion to the multiplication of rivat lines, thet, under the present railroad system, no rail- road in the United States can pay interest upon its Brigaim Youn@ ayp TH® ADMINISTRATION.— The old National Intelligencer at Washington has at last been convinced of the infamous and horri- ble character ot Brigham Young's saintly king- dom at the Great Salt Lake, and gives room to the most decisive propositions of reform. We dare say that this ecandalous excreeence of Mor- moadom is rapidly coming to s hesd; and that, in the absence of a timely aad effective interven- tion by the government, the evil will now soon be hurried to its own remedy through some terri- 1e revolutionary explosion in the Mormon camp. But still the government should wait no longer upon chance or Providence; but proceed at once to reduce the bisaphemous impostor and his whole eaintly establishment at the Salt Luke to the teet by submission or treasep. Not only has the moral sense of the whole American people been shocked and outraged by the criminal indif- ference of the last two administrations to the growth and increasing insolence and filthiness of this Mormon nuisance in Utah, bat the question is at length suggested, how much longer can this festering cancer be nourished without a diffusion of its poisonous influences, A new Governor, not a Mormon, # new auti- Mormon corps of civil and judicial officers, sup- ported by a competent detachment of the army, under an expericnced and decisive commander, with whom may be safely entrusted a large mar- gin of discretionary power, are the proper reme- dies for Utah. We have not yet been definitely informed, in this view of the case, that the recall of Genoral Harney from Florida, and his trans for to Kansas, are bat the preliminary steps to his march to Salt Lake City; but euch appears to be the general impression, and such, we hope, may prove to be the fact. cost. . Driven to this conviction, and placed ta a dilemma between defesting the purpose of their constituents the stockholders, or embarking in a coureé gure to be ultimately fatal to the on- terprises placo® ia their charge, the mansgers of the railroads of the United States have, almost without exception, taken counsel of their private interest and adepted the latter alternative. Largely interested themselves in the mainte- nance of the market price of the stock, thoy have gratified their constituents and ruined their property, by pursuing a systematic course of borrowing money, at ruinous rates of interest, to pay dividends which never could have been earacd. We apply this stricture to the railroads im theaggregate. There are some to which it does not apply; bué they are not the roads which everybody know The railways whose name is in every one’s matth—the New York Contral, the Erie, the Mick ‘gen Southern, the Cleveland and Toledo, the Reaa ‘ing, aad 60 forth —are well acquainted with the ap stem of financicring which we bave just described.

We have little doubt, however, of the acceptance of the treaty by the British goverument without further material modifications, Ln this view of the matter it is of little consequence what may be the arrangements of the Central American allies in reference to Walker, the territories of Nicara- ragua and the Nicaragna route, as under the joint stipulations of the treaty in question ‘They are likely, on the contrary, to experience kindnees, good will, and a willingness to trade among the inbabitante; for such was the face they showed to M. Hac. Having ascended these rivers to the great centres of trade and population, it may be ex- pected that the gunboate will proceed, in a busi- nets like mancer, to establish forts for the purpose of @ permanent trade.
