We yesterday published news from Europe four days later than our previous dates. It was received by the Arago, which was boarded off Cape Race by a fishing smack, when only eight days ovt from Seuthampton, and telegraphed on to us from St. Jokns, Newfoundland. This is the first successful result of an experiment which has for sometime been projected; and en attendant the completion of the Atlantic Telegraph, we may now look to the frequent receipt of European advices of only a week old. This improvement, however, will soon be thrown into the chade by the realization of the great | Project which now occupies the public mind; and when we receive our European and Indian edvices in the same hour and by the same medium by | which they reach London, it will no longer occupy | a place in our memory. | The political news received by the Arago is not of | much importonce. Things are ina very uusettled state in Italy, and mnst soover or later result in an outbreak, the suecess of which will, of course, be determined by the action of the Great lowers, Hoagland seems to have enough on her hands at pre sent to prevent her attempting any active interfe. | rence in the political affairs of the Continent. This | fact may probably operate as a stimulus to Mazzini and his adherents. The same complication will probably induce the Shah of Peisia to retain pos session of Herat, as it has led him to increase the effective strength of his army. Commercial affairs wear rather a cloomy aspect at the other side. Consols have a dowaward tendency, in spite of all the efforts to sustain them, and the probability of numerous failures is discussed. Bread stuffs were steadily declining, the harvests every: where being of abundant promise. It will be recollected that it was asserted, shortly , after the Br attwek upon Canton, that Gen. Keenas, the United States Consul at Hong Kong, Lad taken an active part in that attair; and hed dis- played, or caused to be displayed, an American flag, in the engagement between the English and the imperialists. We have before usa copy of the cor Tespondence between Gen. Keenan and the depart ment in reference to this matter. The Consul states that the only origin for this statement was the fact that he went tv Canton at the period re | ferred to, ou duties relative to the Macro Consulate, (the incumbent of the office being an invalid,) and was accidentally present after Canton was supposed to be in possession of the English; and, with m other spectators, s# a matter of curiosity, he walked to the Governor's palace, being at the time in plain and unofficial costume. On his return from the | city he heard that a seaman of one of the boats of the United States ship Levant, who had fol jowed him, was still in the city. He at once returned in earch of the man, and found him in the enclosure of the Governor's pa stat, and taking by the arm he bronght him out: so that his only agency in the whole aflair was to remove the flag.

Grain wae per gation Mr, Buchanan's Letter Korth and South, With the exception of a few journals indis- solubly wedded to the ultraist parties North and South, the public press of the country has re- sponded to Mr. Buchanan's letter to Professor Silliman and his friends in a manner which must be in the highest degree gratifying to the supporters of the administration. Even among thoee who profess but a lukewarm sympathy with the democracy, the calm and practical sag- gestions, the cogent logic, and the manly can- dor of the President's letter have extorted uni- versal approbation. Throughout the country it has been a remarkable success—a palpable hit. Of course Professor Silliman and his colleagues do not look to us for advice ae te their conduct cither in public or private life. Bul they may perhaps he induced, as men of some eens, to bestow a little reflection on the judgment which the bulk of the American public are forming on the etep which has brought them #0 prominently into public view. Some of them are men of sideratie repute in their particular walk in ~ whether that walk be science. religion, or rect philovophy. Professor Silliman bimseif has filed a large place in American scientific is, ond may be properly regarded as the rch of at least one branch of science. is name has been mentioned with Hit invariable respect.

Deeply imbued with the theocratic spirit of their predecessors, they have never for. given the politicians for stripping them of their deepotic control over the secular as well as the religious concerns of the people: and on every possible opportunity they seek to revenge them telves for the injury by maligning our states men and organizing an opposition to them from We do not believe the country con tains a more foolish or more mischievous body of men than the New England clergy.

As to the Kansas question, it is obvious that the country has been soothed and calmed by Mr. Buchapan's totter, It has reassured the public mind, and sestored peace and ordir in the breasts of all who were etill within reach of reason. It has eatisfied every one that, whatever the South- ern firc-eaters may rant, or the Nerthern aboli- tionists chrick, the lawe of the natioa will be car- ried out, and the right thing be done, at whatever cost.

Wo make a grent boast of our progress and euperior intelligence in matters of political and general legislation ; and no doubt our political system is better on the whole than that of most other nations, But when we pass to general legislation, and especially to that branch of law which concerns commercial affairs, we must con- fers, to be honest, that we are very far indecd behind such nations as England and France. Of late years every session of the British Parliement has witaeesed the passage of one or more acta ingeniously and elaborately contrived to meet new cazes of commercial and financial frand. The council which reports that branch of the code under the imperial regime ia France is constantly occupied in like work ; though, in France, judges and juries are lees apt than they are with us to give rogucs the benefit of doubts. Nor ere these laws inoperative elther through a fault in the authorities entrusted with their exe- cation, or through the errors or mismanagement of the courts. The directors of the fraudulent British Bank fied to ull parts of Europe to cs cape the penalty of their misdeeds; but they were all taken, brought back, and thrust into prison to await their trial. with the French rogues who robbed the Ro! They were pursued to this country, and in spite of ineredi- ble obstacles, they were taken back whence they came, to stand their trial according to the Jaws of their country. Nor does a knave's trouble end, in those countries, when he has been arrested. He is brought to trial, and in credible as it may appear to us, he is actually convicted when guilty, The last news we had from England was of Sir John Paul, Strahan and Bates, who were once bankers of high re- pute, going out to Australia with a batch of con- viets. The French rogues who swindled the public in the affair of the Napoleon docks are now some of them in prison, and others in poverty, in consequence of the heavy fincs they have paid; tome were great friends of the En- peror avd tho government. How would these matters have worked in this country? Sir John Paul and his partners would probabiy never have been tried. They would have obtaincd the opinions of eminent counsel to the effect that they had committed no oileace known to the law; these opinions would have been published in the commercial papers; libel suits would have been threatened against the de- famers of these excellent bankers and pillars of the church, They would have retired from | business with the competency they had obtained | by their robberies, and would have wound up their connection with the financial world with a | pathethic denunciation of their enemies. In | couree of time they would have been pointed out | by fathers to their children as instances of the | sucecss which never fails to attend commercial | shrewdness tempered with piety. Some people suppose that had these worthy bankers lived here, they would have run away, and successfully defied detection: | We don’t think they would have put themselves to eo much trouble. It is very doubtful whether Schuyler would have thought it necessary to fly had he lived here up to the present time. At the time he manufactured spurious stock, the thing was new and be bad every reason to sup- pose that people would make a great outcry sgainst the novelty; wherefore he sought a new home abroad. Now, the over-issuing of stock is as | common an occurrence as the robbing of a till, or the eml<zzling of bank notes; and no sensible officer who bad happened this lttle accident would put himself to any trouble to get out of | the way. He would bring or threaten an action for libel against any ene who mentioned what he had done, and would fulminate proclamations from time to time to show that he hadn't over-issucd | avy stock; that if he had, he had acted for the | beet, and that the other Wall street men were no better. But as to running away he woulda’t thivk of it, The fact is we have no laws at all that will touch our commercial and financial frauds of the present day. And until rome such laws are con- trived, it cannot be expected that our knaves will be punished, or that this will be as safe a country to do burinese in ae England or France.

Monk Raiitoan Aconirs In another part of this paper will be found two manifestoos, one ) from Mr. Litebtield and his clique in the direction of the Michigan Southern Kailroud Company, and another feom the other directors of that con- ‘corn, Mr. Litehfield, under whore management the «tock fell from §5 to 20, the paper of the com- pany went to protest, the floating debt «welled to three millions, and the boats of the company , Were ved for debt, now comes forward and asks the stockholders to re-elect him to the presi. dency, on the strength of these proof of bh pacity to manage the concern, He takes oc sion at the same time to abuse hie fellow di tore who do not belong to his clique; and the press which. hy publishing the facts ax they be came developed, so materially injured him. To thie the remaining menbere of the board of directors reply in an indignant strain, re echo. itg the publiched appeal of the eminent mer chaats whore names we gave the other day, who desire an entire new board of management. On Mr. Litchfield’s own showing we think the ewe must go against him. From his own mani festo it appests that he is so unpopular in the —<“_«-— i Freigbte beard that the interesle of the property are liable to be eacrificed to the quarrels he has on hard with his co-directors; curely a man caa be found for the presidency who need not te at logger- heads with his colleagues, Harmony is the very life of corporate euterprises. As to wha! he says about the prees injuring him, that is nonsense, If he bad managed his business properly, if be bad not run into debt, if he had earned the divi- dends paid, and issued no unauthorized stock, all the newspapers in the country couldn't have hurt eltter him or biscompuny. The press only be- comes formidable when it tells truth; it hurt the Michigan Southern, becaure that concern could not bear the truth to be told. We entigely concur with Mr. Gray and his friends in their recommendation to the stockhold- ers not to send their proxies to avy one now con- nected with the company as an officcholder. A Porncar, ann Scrrturan Poricemay.— On Friday an inspector of police—Hartt, of the Seventeenth precinct —made what is called a “des- cent” upon a disorderly house, arresting some twenty or thirty men and women. Hartt has not the modesty of Wellington and several other great captaing. His despatches have a flavor of the midnight oil—atouch of that playful fancy, that delicate imagery, which abounds in the ex- citing romances of the Sunday papers. Hartt writes to Superintendent Tallmadge like Cxcaar to the Roman Senate, Hear Hartt:— The eoene that prevented ttreif upon entering the house Almost begcared description. ‘There were seen girls soarce- Ty out of their teens, and mon whose heads are eg | to whiten with tho frosts of timo, imploring to be eat from exposure for their families’ sake—a sadand meian choiy upon the morals of oar ciry. The anguish ancl confaston of face exhibited by many were sofli stent to move (he stoulest heart, and formed an {mproasive les- top of the trach of the sayiug, ‘fhe way of the trans gressor is bard” Wus the way of the transgressor hard? Were they legally transgressors? Under what law were the men arrested? We find that when taken before a Police Justice the men were discharged, no charges being made against them. The wo- raen were committed to prison, probably ander the vagrant act; but if we remember rightly, it bas been decided ia our Supreme Court, when Mayor Wood arrested the street walkers, that they are not amenable to that act. The keeper of the house, and the keepers of all such houses, should be arrested on warrants founded upon in- formation which the police always have. It ap- pears that thie house was by no means disorderly until the police made it so, The city is full of low. vile places, where strangers are robbed- where, at all times of the day and night, men and women drink, fight, quarrel and kick up row Why are not these places broken up’ Why does not Mr. Tallmadge try some descents in the Fourth, Fifth and Lighth wards? AN Istenesrine Lerrern.—We give elsewhere a lettey from Thomas N, Carr, a well known city politician, to John Cochrane. Mr. Carr handles the present state of, the party difficulties with much force, and gives quite a clear insight into the intrigues of some of the democratic leaders. Read the letter. THE LATEST NEWS.
