Overthrow of the Palmerston Ministry—Th> Revolutionary Ball again tn Motion. A telegraphic suramary of the Canada’s news brings us the announcement of the fall of the Polmerston administration. The new Premier is (he Varl of Derby, who takes with bim into office the emall band of coxservative statesmen whose wdherence to vory traditions and unity of | ection bave given them arort of balance weight in Parliament. Their elevation to power is of F course merely un accident which could only have been caused by « peculiar combination of circum stances. In itself the party has no moral or po- litical weight, its only consideration being de- rived from the talents of ite leaders. The latter have been forced into office on the shoulders of the radicals, in order to give fuller effect to public opinion on the refugee question by the combination of extremes, and as soon as they have served the purpose of the moment they will be compelled to give place to men of more comprcbensive and progressive views. Notbing can indicate more unmistakeably the unstable character of the relations between the English and French governments than this change. The recent defeat of the administra- tion would not in iterlf have necessitated the resignation of Lord Palmer tou and his col- leagues if they had not been eensible that the opinions of the British nation were decidedly adverse to the spirit of subserviency which they have lately exhibited towards the Freach autocrat. Abstractidly, proper as were the al ierations proposed in the existing laws in refer- ence to foreigners, there was sufficient in the manner inwhich they were extorted from the fears of Lord Palmerston’s government to arouse the jealousy and sensitiveness of the English people, and to i.duce them to view with distrust « ministry which was so ready to to the alarms inspired by the military | does of the Moniteur. The English have p os well es mater’ iaterests, and their Viood naturally boils at the assump: tion of tone which implies, if it does uot actually convey, @ threat. The over- throw of a minister confessediy one of the most popular that has ever held the reins of.power in England, shows how deep rooted and universal is the feeling of reventment excited amongst them by euch conduct, and how slight is the de- pendence to be placed upon the continuance of the alliance between the two countriés, The very defeat of this minister cannot, in fact, be regarded in any other light thanssa gauntlet thrown down to France, und as the commence- ment of a series of complications which will in- volve the whole of Farupe in trouble The best barometer of public feeling in con- nection with political questions is to be tound in the cperationy of the money market. It was ouly afew days eince that we had occasion to note the jact that notwithstanding the depres- sion attending the late panic, American stocks were agein rising into favor abroad with a rapidity which nothing but political infinences could explain. We expressed our be- lief that these influences were due to the preoa- rious state of the relations between Bagland and France, and the conviction that ecemed to prevail that the refugee question would prove the rock on which the entente cordiale would split. The resignation of the Palmerston ministry fully realizes the anticipations suggested by this cir- cumstance, aod we are now justified in looking upon the alliance between the two countries as virtually dissolved. That public feeling in Pngland should have precipitated a result which Louis Napoleon may have remotely contemplated, but certainly did not immediately desire, is, we think, cred't uble to the spunk and maniinese of the Eaglish people. In the universal expression of indigna- tiou elicited by the late abominable attempt upon bis life, the French Emperor thought that he had found the meaus of extending his eystem of political terrorism to consti- tutional countrice. It is but right that he should be taught that what he mistakes for & tribute to tho merits of that system is but the expression of @ moral sentiment, whieh ap- plies equally to the safety of the bumblest citi cen ae to bisown. In the exevss of his cager- nees to avail himself of this supposed feoling, he has overleaped the barriers of prudence, and deetroyed in a moment the fralts of his last few years political scheming. Mad he been inteat 00 provoking 8 quartyl with hie English allies, ho certainly could have taken no readier steps towards it than the course that he has lately pursued. In the present excitable and irritated state of ypubile feeling in the two countries, it is not of course easy fo foresee what proportions (he ex- isting difficulties are likely to assume, Judging joom present appearances, no more serious dan- et has threatened the peace of Europe since ‘ae troubles of 1848 than the slap in the face dealt to the French Emperor in the overthrow of his friend and political ally—Lord Palmerston. This event can only be considered, in fact, as the commencement of another’ great reactionary movement against European despotiem, which ia likely to ~prend ite flames over the Contipent, snd again aeluge the strects of its cities with blood. The fire of political discontent has been thus far kept down by repressive measures; but this slate of things cannot always last. Should it succeed in overwhelming the obstacles opposed to its progress by the friendly aid of the Eng- lish people, Louis Napoleon will have his own indiscretion to thank for the disasters that it will bring fa its train, ——___ ‘fhe Case of the English Refugee Allsop—Can He be @ent Back? It being generally understood that the Fag- lish stockbroker, Thomas Allsop, who is impli- cated in the recom et(empt to murder the Em- perer of the French, recently arrived in this country, and is now lying concealed somewhcre, perhaps, not far from this city, we have thought our readers would like to see the ac! ial test of the extradition treaty and act of Congress un- der which the French Emperor is likely to de- mand the restoration of Allsop at the hands of our government, They will be found in another columa; and together with them the curious reader will discover a couple of characteristic articles, one from the New York Zribum, the other from the New York Daily News, both in- sisting that Allsop cannot be surrendered under the treaty. A discussion on a point of this kind is purely speculative at present; we must sake all the facts alleged for granted. We must assume that it istrue that Allsop ordered the infernal ma- chincs of their maker at Birmingham, and other- wise made himself acoessory to the crime of the Rue Lepelletier; that it is true that he fled to this country, and is now in concealment here; and that the reach officerg and detectives are on his track and are likely to catch him. These points are still, so far as the public knows, matters of uncertajuty: until they are proved, the legal aspect of Allop’s case will only be interesting to the curious, But, assuming that these statements « ( are well founded, that Allsop was an aceessory to the attempted mur- der, and that he ts here, we take it that there can be no question of the right of the French Emperor to claim him, nor of the duty of the United States to surrender him on demand. if Allsop bought the grenades or infernal ma- chines with which the attempt was made, asit is said he did, or if he rendered himself in any way legally accessory to the deed, he is evidently one of those persons of whom the treaty says: —Persons shall be s0 delivered up who shall be charged, according to the provisions of this convention, with any of the following crimes: to wit, murder,” &. The persons who were hilled by the attempt of the Rue Lepelletier were evidently murdered: and the French gov- ernment on making the dcmand for Allsop’s ex- tradition would evidently accompany the de- mand with ample evidence of the procecdings before the Juge d'Instruction, and of the acte d'ac- cusalion, Se. How these could be successfully resisted docs not readily appear, It is pretended in some quarters that Allsop’ offence, being aimed at the head of a govern- : me was one of those political crimes wh the extradition treaty was not in- tended to cover, and whose authors it is the | especial duty of every free country to shield from veogeanee. This error arises froma con- fusion of ideas which can very readily be ov. posed. Political refugees may, under certain cir- cumstanc been the means of destroying human life, and yet not be liable to extradition under the treaty; those circumstances are when euch refugees had been engaged in overt at tempts. with force of arms, to overthrow a go- vornment or prince. Homicide, occurring in the levying of war, whether foreign or civil, hax never been esteemed murder in the eye of the Jaw; and therefore however insane and hopeless forts of armed rebels may have been, they e never been held liable ag murderers for the lives they tock away in the forcible prose- cution of their rebellion. Neither would such rebels be liable to extradition under the Uniied theirs is manifestly very different, in a legal view, from that of an individual who takes pagt in a dark, treacherous, cowardly, blindfold at- tompt to take away liver with the help of infer- nul machines, and wue actually does cause the death of six or eight persons. Here iw no levy- ing of war; nothing like it. Here is no room for # plea that had the plan been better laid or bet- ter executed the murderers might taken the place of the victims, and loyalty might have conristed in adherence to them—which is the basis and the foundation of the distinction between political murder and common murder: on the contrary, the nature of the aticmpt, the infallible punisment of the | murderers even had it saccceded, and the peeu- | liarly recklees manner in which the lives of in- | nocent persons were sacrificed, most clearly and unmistakably range this attempt of the Rue } Lepelictier among the moet shocking cases of common murder on record, and entirely divest the culprits from all claim to sympathy or pro tection apoiitical conspirators. In their case politics were subordinate to murder.

The reporters for the daily press have dis- played their usual alacrity and fidelity in chronicling the movements of the Ottoman Ad- miral, Mobammed Pacha, and the officers in at- tendance upon him. Since the arrival of these distinguished visiters on Saturday, they beve been literally killed with kindness, They have been feasted and dined and lunched and sandwiched and wined and eleigh ridden to desth. Althongh they are men who havo seen the world, and who are ac- customed to strange sights and sounds, it may safely be presumed that they have been slightly astonished at the manner in which they have been received at the second commercial city in the world. To them has been presented a spec- tacle which could not be paralleled in France, England or any other civilized pation upon the . face of the globe, They see a great and pros- perous nation, distinguished above all others tor the rapidity of its growth, the enlightenment, intelligence and freedom of its people, its big ships sad long railroads, its great public works and magnificent private enterprises. But in con- tradistinction to all this glory, prosperity, hap- pines aid general Hail Columbia totality, our Ottomite guests have been brought in close con- tact with our official trumpeters, in the shape of a commitice of the Common Council of New York. A.more unfortunate cohtreemps cannot be imagined. Asarule, the people about our City Hall are men without cducation, breeding, refinement or intelligence—men who owe their positions to grog shop and shoulder hitting in- fluence. hus we find the officials having the Ottomites in charge violating the ordinary rules of good breeding at every step, forcing upon the city’s guests the rudest attempts at hospitalily, and trotting them about to be stared at as if they were a menagerie of wild animals, with ten tails each, instead of being simply three or four officers and gentiemen, whose perfect breeding would put the best society of our city to the blush. They stand upon an equality with their civic hosts, and therefore cannot give vent to their amusement a6 the singular scenes in which they are foreed to act; but nothing short of that adamantine gravity so peculiar to the higher glass of Orieu- tal gentlemen could withstand the temptation to laugh at the gaucheries of our honorable and very dignified City Fathers. Our Otloman guests thus have a reversed ,} picture presented to them. In their own coun- try, as wellas on the Continent, the govern- ment is in the hands of med who are out- wardly well bred. They dispense hospitality quictly and liberally. Their idea of a “ban- quet” is not cunfined to “four black bottles of spirits,’ pyramid of sandwiches, (Shade of the Proph-t—pork for an Effendi!) and a few pounds of buiscuit. They know how to be courteous to @ person of rank and position, without boring him to death. The vulgarity is among the people. Our rulers, however, are a miserable set of fellows, who rarely have an idea, and never know how to put it in proper shape. Many of them are taken from the scum of the city, and there have been rome civic dig- nitaries who belonged more pgoperly to the State prison than to the City Hall. Several of the Al- dermen can hardly write intelligibly, and very few members of either branch of the Common | Council have the fuintest idea of the rules of good | breeding generally accepted and acted upon in the daily intercourse of gentlemen. The offi- cials here are the vulgarians—the people occupy | the social potition of European rulers, The | contrast between our officials and those of the | Sublime Porte arouses at ouce our national per- | ception of the ludicrous, and inflicts a severe | wound to our national pride. The Ottomics | have been bored with Aldermen, pestered vy | Councilwen, circumvallated by the hangers-on | of the Corporation, until they must have been | fairly disgusted with the well intentioned but absurd attempts at politeness which hare been thrust upon them. The only American gentle- | men occupying official positions that the Adiniral has met are the officers of the army and navy, who have been forced into the back- ground by the officious delegation from the City Hall. All the Admiral’s pre-conceived ideas of the dignities of office have been upset ; and, though nominally ashore, he is really all at sea, But our guests will find before they leave that the real leaders of this people ave not in oflice. They will find great minds among the masses—the professional men, the merchants, the inventors, the mechanics, the manufacturers and the great agriculturitis. It is in the hands of theee men of the people that the real destiny | of the nation is placed; it is from them that strangers must ascertain the power of the re- public and the secret of its glory. They must not judge of our people from the blundering stupidity and bad manners of a New York Com- mon Councilman. Neither can they take a } member of Congress for an example. They | will find the same low, stupid fellows at Wash- | ington—fellows who spend their days in grog | shops, their nights in gambling houses—fellows who put their feet on their desks, exude oceans | of tobacco juice upon the federal carpets, wear | black dress coats in the morning, and who ; generally are guilty of the most outrageous | offences against the most ordinary rules of etiquetie, In Europe, the best men are in office--here we take the worst. The fact is that the only mainstay of our government is in the inherent respect of the masses of the people for what Cobbett calls the constable’s etal. We are intelligent enough to understand the law and to laugh at the blunders of its con. stituted exponents. It may be acked, after all, what is the occa- sion of this tremendous and overpowering dis- play of attention and affection to the Ottoman Admiral! It springs partly from a vulgar lov f display, but chiefly, it is reported, from a friendly desire to eee that he is not cheated in giving oot L.o, contract for the new war ship which is to be built here for thenavy of the Porte. The Alderm 3 know that New York is terribly corrupt place, and they fear that the poor Pacha will be th mble-rigged out of a’ cool hundred thousand or eo in the arrangement of this fat million dollar job.

Mr. Hass, (opp of Me., then resumed his re- tmoarks om the bill for the admision of Kan. eas under the Lecompton constituios. Mr. Hamlia having finehed bis defence of Northern laborers, pro- ceded to examice Mr, Hammond's assertion that the wealth of the nation consists in its exports, denying tos truth of dhe proposition and showing that the hundred millious of dollars worth of cotton exported by the South ho more proved that sum represeuted her surpius profit alter payiug all dewands, than does the eight hundred mi lions—the value of Norther manufactures—ind) cate that amount of surplus wealth. The exports have w pay for the imports consumed, and therefore there cacnot be tbat profit or surplus of wealth. The South coasumes all the product of tts exports, and yet Mr. Hammend, as suming (wo hundred aud twolye miliions as the toinl ex orty of the South, Claims that amount of surplus wealth, hie (Mtr. Hamiin) might with ay much proprieyy contend that the amount of the imports show the surplus of weaith, Inseruuch as the exporte assume the ability to produce j for the extension of slavery, | not tax the senators who vot enough to balance the:mports, Mr. Hamlin procesded to show the fallacy of both positions, citing numerous eta Ustical tables, giving comparisoas of the exporta and ita. porta of the South. He next proceeded to examine the true sources of natioual wealto a8 indicated by schools, population, agriculture, mavufactures, ships, railroade, capaciiy for war, otc., giving the figures to snow the rele tive strength of the two sections In these resources, which showed on manvfactarce an aggregate net profit of seven ty-n.ne millions to the South, and three hundred and se- Venty-six millions to the North, As to tbe capacity to build abips, ralroade for war, he devied that these were true indices of vational greatness, though they were to some extent. Taking them as such he showed by figures a preponderarce in the North of ten to ove in tonnage, and upwards of five to one in railroads; while tothe capacity for war he showed that in the Revol onary war North contributed 218,000 men to 71,000 by the South. He wmitted that the Southerners were « gtest people with respect to a defensive war, but did nue think the:r peculiar institution would be barmiess in such an event. ow was ft with South Caroling io the ware of asked for men, and TTY she was asked for “pone,” and she furnished i He did not state these facts to disparage that State—dod forbid Bot whea Southern senators throw ¢ ton the North ha felt justified in quoting face ro figures as evidences of what ebe has done.

We bad already given a pleuge to admit ber without reference to Kaneaz, He objectea to Mr Pugh’s amendment as inope. ative, but accepted Mr. Clark's. Referring to the repeal of io Missouri compromise, he denounced it as a scheme and nothing else. He would led for that measure with per- sonal motives; Dut extension of slavery was palpably the design and int®ntion of that rej aad we havo the result im the mongure before us. lering the question of congitutions, he contended that, ust approved by the people, they Were hot wor the blank paper they wore written on, The La- compton constitution had mot been #o approved, In fact, the people of Kanens,on the 4th of Jaguary, re jected ‘it by an overwhelming majority, and would have epat upon it, and we are now attempting t force it upon of Kansas under th the people ‘orms of law.
