Paro.. By the arrival of the steamship North American at Portland we have four days later news from Europe, and a week's later news from India. At London the steck market was heavy, und consols had lightly declined, the closing quotations on the 2d inst. being 96] a 96] for both money and ac- count. American securities were quiet at the rates current on the 27th ult. The Liverpool cotton mar ket was firm, at an advance of one-eighth of a penny, while breadstuffs continued dull, with a decided downward tendency in prices. In the British Parliament the Earl of Derby had delivered bis inaugural address, marking out the in- tended policy of the new Cabinet. He denounced the attempt to assassinate Louis Napoleon, and urged the nesessity of remaining on friendly terms with the French government. He was satisfied of the sincerity of the Emperor's desire to keep on | terms of amity with England. The news from India is unimportant. Sir Colin Campbell was preparing for the invasion of Oude, the stronghold and hotbed of the rebellion. Trade at Bombay was improving. Our reports of the proceedings of Congresa are both interesting and exciting. At noon on Monday the Senate resumed the consideration of the Kansas bil. As it had been determined by the democratic senators in caucus to bring the question on the bill to a final issue during the present week, and as the opposition were equally determined to delay the question till the latest moment possible, a prolonged triel of parliamentary stategy and physical en durance ensued, which was protracted until haif-past six o'clock ‘on Tuesday morning, when the Senate adjourned, with the understanding that the republicans should be prepared, on the opening of Tuesday's session, to present terms on which the debate should be continued and termi. nated. Accordingly, yesterday the republicans pre- sented an argreement that the discussion shall close and the qnestion be taken on Monday next, aud this arren cement was acquiesced in by the democrats. Moears. King, Mallory and Puch, then delivered speeches on the Kansas question, and the Senate adjoprned. During the excitement on Monday night Messrs. Green, of Missouri, and Cameron, of Penn sylvania, had a personal diff d the epithet of liar was freely passed from one to the other. Both senators yesterday, however, apologised, and withdrew the offensive expressions, and there the matter dropped. In the House yesterday a number of new propo. sitions wero introduced, among them a bill by Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, for the admission of Kansas, providing for a new convention to which the Le compten constitution shall be referred. The memo rial of the Mormons was presented. The document xeited considerable interest. A resolution fixing on the first Monday ia June for the final adjournment of Congress was also presented. In the State Senate yesterday the Metropolitan Police bill was discussed. Mr. Stow moved to amend the substitute for Mr. Mather’s bill repealing the Police act by providing that the Governor shall nominate, and by the advice of a majority of the senators from the Police district, appoint the Police Commissioners. In the Assembly the Castile Garden Investigating Committee complained that Mr. James W. Hamilton had refased to testify, and the Ser- geantat-Arms was ordered to arrest him for con- tempt. At last accounts the Sergeantat-Arms was prosecuting bis search for the delinquent witness. We have accounts firom New Mexico to the 15th ult. Capt. Marcy was actively engaged collecting supplies and animals for the army of Utah, and would set out on his return to Camp Scott about the Ist inst., by way of Bemt’s fort. Several Indian tribes bad agrecd to render assistance to the United States against the Mormons. The chief of the Salt Lake Utahs had endeavored Jo induce the Capatoes to join the Mormams, but they refused. We have news from Port au Prince, Hayti, to the 6th alt. There was nothing of importance stirring in political affairs. Soulouque was busy bestowing heraldic devices upon his nobility, and the official journal was discuswing the feasibility of subjagating Dominica and thus driving out the foreigners who had settled there. Trade was very dull. The failure of Ackerman &Noetzil and of F. Shultz & Co. is an- nounced. The death of Mr. E. Schlater, the Pris sian Consul at Port au Prince, is reported. One of the most imposing ceremonies of the Ca- tholic church—the consecration of a bishop—took place at Providence, R. L., on Sunday last. The late Bishop of Hartford, Rt. Rev. Dr. O'Reilly, was lost with the ill-fated steamer Pacific, in January, 1856. Since then the diocess has been without a bishop, but on Sanday the Rev. Francis Pe McFarland, pastor of St. John’s church, Utica, N. Y., was conse crated Bishop of Hartford. The ceremony was one of anasoal splendor. Archbishop Hughes was the consecrating bishop, while eight other prelates and @ large number of priests were present. The new bishop is a native of Pennsylvania, quite a young man, and only fourteen years in the ministry, though be has acquired a reputation for learning and sanctity which well befite{his new position. The proceedings’ wore of @ most interesting character. We haves report in type, bat are compelled to postpone ite publication. ‘The case of Miss Beneway, who died very myste riously in an alleged house of ill fame in Grand meet, New York, bes been nndorgoing « rigid ex. amination betore Coroner Taylor, at Poughkeepsie. Drs. Hills and Cooper made a thorough post mortem examination upon the body of the deceased, whioh proved that an abortion had been produced, and was the cause of her death. The inquest closed en Toesday, the jury finding a verdict against Milton W. Gray, the alleged abortionist, and against John Olmstead, the alleged seducer, as accessory before the fact. Olmstead fled on Thursday night, and has thus far evaded the pursu& of the officers. A full report of the inquest will be found elsewhere. The Board of Aldermen met lastevening. A mes- sage was received from the Mayor transmitting a re- monstrance to the bill before the Assembly which gives to the various float ry dock companies the exclusive use of piers and slips occupied by them. ‘The remonstrance sets forth the injustice of creating the proposed monopoly, as it would materially and injuriously exclude commerce and thoroughfare,o 4 interfere with the municipal rights of the city and the convenience and interests of the people. The Crotun Aqueduct Department sent in a reque-t to the Com- mon Council to remonstrate aguinst the’ Legislature making the High Bridge a highway. A motion was made to discharge the committee on the New Post Office site, on the ground of their neglect of the matter, but it was afterwards withdrawn. The re- port granting lands for a Woman’s Hospital was brought up on a motion to adopt it notwithstanding the Mayor's veto, but it was finally laid over till Friday. The Board of Supervisors yesterday transacted a large amount of routine business. A petition was received asking the impeachment of Judge Thomp- son, of the Marine Court, charging him with collu- sion with the defendant in a caso in that Court, by means of which the case was delayed and postponed, until finally it was thrown out of the jurisdiction of the Court. The Board of Ten Govornors met yesterday, but transacted no business of importance. From the re- ports of the wardens it appears that there are now 7,997 persons under the charge of the Governors—an increase of 1,374.8 compared with the same date last year, but a decrease of 118 as compared with last week. It was decided by the Governors to dis- pense.with out-door relief after the lst of May. The Central Park Commissioners held their regu lar meeting yesterday. Mr. August Belmont was chosen to fiji the vacancy in the Board occasioned by the resignation of Mr. James E. Cooley. An ad- vertisement for proposals for furnishing trees was authorized. Nurserymen will be notified at an early day of the descriptiou of trees required. A number of recommendations from committees were acted on, none of them, however, of any general inte-est. A shocking aftray occurred about two o'clock yes- terday morning ina drinking saloon in the First avenue. Three men, named Joseph Kelly, John Murphy and Patrick Lawlor, became engaged ina row, when the latter drew a dirk knife and stabbed Kelly and Murphy in a terrible manner. The par- ticulars are given in another column. The preliminary examination of Jacob H. Mott, who is charged with being implicated in the Union Bank defalcation, was postponed yesterday in coa- uence of a prior engagement of Sheriff Willet, who has the accused in custody. It will be com- menced this afternoon at three o'clock, before the Recerder at his charobers. We are happy to say that the shipping yards of New York are showing an improvement in business, and are at last commencing to empley the usu: number of hands. The large iron works of our city have also shown @ large increase of business during the last three months, and have every prospect of a busy season. The steamship Philadelphia will not sail to-day for Havana and New Orleans, but the mails will go forward per Daniel Webster to-morrow. Although the calendar of the Court of General Sessions was large yesterday, Judge Russell finished the business two hours before the usual time for adjourning the Court. William Dewitt was tried and convicted of grand larceny in stealing $60 worth of clothing from Abraham V. Morell, of Williamsburg, and sent to the State prison for four years and six months. John Winn was convicted of an attempt to steal a gold watch from William Harvey; State prison two years and six months. Patrick Newman was convicted of an attempt to eteal a case of silk worth $100 from the ship Independence; State pri- son two years. Cornelius Fitzsimmons pleaded guilty to attempting to steal a gold watch from Henry Vogel, and was remanded for sentence. Velix Golden, jointly indicted with him, was acquitied of the charge. Goule Thomas plesded guilty to an at- tempt at grand |: ny, having been accused of stealing $50 worth of jewelry from Margaret McCor- mick. She was remanded for sentence. A number of prisoners who were indicted by the Grand Jury were arraigned and pleaded not guilty, after which the Court adjourned. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 3,000 halos, closing without change of moment in prices, The principal sales were based upon middling uplands, at 2lc. por Ib, The recent advances in Liverpool, news of which brought by the late stoamers, including the North American at Portiand, have been counteracted to some extent by other cireumstances, among which havo been the recent decline in sterling exchange and the ad vance in freighta both here and at New Orleans. Added to which, the accounts from the South speak of contigued in. crease of receipts, bringing down the late deficiency, it is suppored , to not much over 300,000 bales. The European news was read out during business in the Corn Exchange yesterday, and checked further transactions of moment in four. The sales were moderate, and the market closed dull, without change of moment in prices. Wheat was firm, with sales of small lote, noticed elsewhere. Corn was active and easier, with sales of white at (6c., Oc. @ O8e., and prime yellow at 70c. Pork wae steady but not active, with sales of ment at #16 70a $16 75, and prime at $15 509$13 60. Lard in barrels and tierces waa rather easier, and sales of 500 kegs were made at 11 \c. Sugars wore firm, with sales of about 600 bhds. at rates given elsewhere, Collee was firm, with sales of 600 8 500 bags Rio at steady prices; ‘anda cargo of about 3,480 bags per Leonard Berry, was sold on private terms. The public tea sale drew a goud and spirited company, and the whole catalogue, consisting of blacks, waa sold, and established an advance of about lke. a 20. per lb. Freights were steady, though some what lose buoyant and active: ‘The Closing Debate upon Kansas in the United States Senate. The Senate, efter a continuous experiment seesion from Monday morning to half-past six o'clock yesterday morning, upon the Lecomp- ton constitution, adjourned for a few hours, and on reassembling at twelve, the opposition an- nounced their ultimatum, which was that the debate should be closed on Monday next, and this was agreed to. On Monday next, therefore, we may expect the passage of the bill by the Senate, and the transfer of the direct question of the admicsion of Kaneas under the Lecomp- ton constitution to the House of Representa- tives As is usually the case with an all-night session, this last one did not pass off without some vio- at personalities. But we are gratified that the i, and Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania~ promptly repaired their violation of the rules, and that the mischief which was threatened by the exchang® of the lie betwoen them was thus happily extis;uished. This process of settling a qaarrel is infinitely preferable to bludgeone, border ruffian fisticuffs, or “ pistols and coffee for two; and we frust that should other Senators fly off the handle, and fly at each other with offensive epithets and re- criminationa during the exciting week's debate before us, they will graciously condescend, in behalf of law and order, to follow the com- mendable example of “satisfaclon”’ adopted by Mowers. Green and Cameron. The only remaining doubt of agy moment ja connection with this Lecompton constitution lies in the House of Representatives, We pre- sume that the joint bil of Minnesota and Kan- sus will pass the Senate by a handsome majority, aim in a clear and a definite ehape; but the pro- ceedings of the last week or so in the House indicate a desperate and doubtfu) struggle in that quarter. A third party in that body—so small that it Las heretofore been overlooked—ap- pears to have made the discovery that it holds the balance of power upon Lecompton, and with this discovery it has betrayed a disposition, one way or the other, to turn it to some practi- cal account, We allude to the South Americans, or the half dozen Know Nothing members from the Southern States. ‘Iaue to the instincts of Know Nothingiem, this lite gang of South Ameri- cuus ape evidently in the market, and at the dis- poral of the highest political bidder. We had a nice illustration of the ruling principles of these Know Nothing tradersupon a amall capital in the late election of the Speaker of our As- sembly at Albany. They would, perhaps, have elected a republican in exchange for a clerkship or two, but as that party made no definite pro- mice of the sort, the Jack-o’-lantern men were guided by their peculiar patriotiam to the sup- port of the democratic nominee. So we su"pect that, at Washington, any tangible principle which ® man can put in his pocket, from the mission to China down to a five dollar bill, will have its influence, at least among the lobby members of the Know Nothing incorruptibles there. But if this Know Nothing faction of Congress is really to be considered as in the market, and subject to a bargain and sale, would it not be best to have a regular public auction at once, and dispose of the whole gang in a lump, just as a gang of black slaves are sometimes knocked down in a lump to the highest bidder, old and young, big and litde included? But whatever these mysterious South Ameri- cans may be driving at, the policy of the admin- istration is very clear. It is to push the Le- compton bill through the House without stop- ping anywhere to make petty compromises or concessions of peace to any clique or faction. Very true, the Lecompton constitution as the final law for Kansas is a myth or an empty ab- straction at the best; but it cuts the Gordian knot of this Kansas agitation and throws the whole issue of “popular sovereignty” back to the people where it belongs. But, agiin, the administration has staked its existence upon the Lecompton constitution; and it is, therefore, the policy of the administration party In the House to admit of no trifling expedients or embarraas- ing devices in their action upon the bill, Bet- ter risk all the contingencies of a square defeat in a bold and open fight upon a square issue, than to stoop to the humiliation of concessions to faithless renegades and disorganizing fac- tionists, Tue Rervere Qvestion—Ivrortant Mant- resto oF Lorp Derny's Casryet.—By the ar- rival of the North American. at Portland we learn that the Derby administration has signal- ized ite accession to office by an act of credita- ble firmness. In a reply to Count Walewski’s note on the refugee question, the Earl of Malmesbury gives expression to the prevailing feeling of the English nation in reference to the demanés of the French government. He says that while the new administration will do all that lies in their power to cement the alliance and to cultivate the most friendly relations to- wards France, they cannot yield a single point on this question. This declaration is, of course, to be understood as repudiating the conces- sions made by Lord Palmerston. In other words, England, under the new administration, returns to her old policy of refusing to act as policeman, jailer, or executioner to the conti- nental despots, and boldly accepts the conse- quences of non-compliance with the French de- mands. We think this resolution not only honorable to the spirit of the English nation but to the minister who has given it effect. It fully bears out the view that we took of the circumstances underwhich the Palmerston Cabinet was cashier- ed, It was perfectly evident to us that tho defeat of the late Premier on this question was not the result of a trick or of an accidental party combination, as his organs would have had us believe. Tad it in reality been so, Lord Palmerston would not have felt it imperative upon him to quit office. He and bis colleagues have frequently surmounted the mortification of | being left in a minority on their measures, and their tenacity of power was such that had they been conscious that the people of Eagland were with them on this question they would have thought nothing of #0 slight a reverse. It was the absence of this conviction which constituted their weakness, and which left them no other alternative than resignation. The fact waa that Palmerston clung with such foolish perti- nacity to the French alliance that he sacrificed Englieh honor and manliness to his fears of a rupture. He counted too much also on his personal popularity with the masees. The re- sult hae shown that although the English are occasionally given to manworship they have too much good sense to allow themselves to be boodwinked on questions involving the national honor and dignity. Had there been no prin- ciple to sacrifice in the concessions required by France, the tone in which they were demanded was too haughty and menacing for Anglo-Saxon stomachs to brook. But there was really prin- ciple as well as feeling embarked in the issue. ‘The bold rebuke administered to Louis Napo- leon through his old (Mend, Lord Malmesbury, will no doubt aggravate the existing excitement in France and lead to a good deal of blustering on the part of the Emperor's personal adherents. He ia too clear headed a man, however, not to see that Engtieh feeling is thoroughly aroused on this questian, and that unless he is prepared to brave all the consequences of a straggle in which the whole of the revolutionary elements of Europe will be arrayed against him, he will have to back out of the position he has taken. As we said, however, the other day, cireum- stances may prove stronger than his will, and he may be ewept along in the current of bitter aud irritated feclings which he has evoked. Tue Treasixy Loax.—Mr. Cobb, it seems, will have to pay four and a half per cent for his five millions; which is one and « half per cent more than was anticipated. Considering that the banks bold thirty-four millions, with a prospect of eight or ten more shortly, (he market price of United States securitics, and the want of any employment for money at the prosent time, it is impossible to deny that thu government gets the worst ofthe bargain It evident that the financiers of New York, Philadelphia and Wash- ington hed compiltation together, and agreed not to uaderbid esgh other, and Wyet the gor- «opment, whether knowingly or not, fell heip- ‘essly, under the stringent law, into the trap that was set, We see that the house of Riggs & Co. figure prominently among the bidders; we should not wonder ifMr. Corcoran or Mr. Riggs was the engineer of the combination. The Mormons and the Fourterites. We published yesterday the memorial of the Mormon Legislature to the Congress of the United States praying for the withdrawal of the troops and the abandonment, by this govern- ment, of the endeavor in which Governor Cum- mings and Colonel Johmeten are now engaged. After the documents which have lately emanated from Salt Lake City, no new outburst of inso- lence and falsehood from thence will create much eurprise. This last memorial may be briefly described as baged on falee statements of fact, fallacious in its reasoning, and preposter- ous in its conclusions. It #imost or indeed alto- gether admits that the Mormon community is in open armed rebellion against the government of the United States, and yet it appeals to that government to spare and sanction the rebellion. It coolly demands of President Buchapan that he ehall abandon to the lawless rebels who now eccupy the borders of Salt Lake the fine terri- tory which they have choeen as their home, and ehall abdicate in their favor one of tho first and gravest duties of his office. That so intolerably impudent an appeal as this should meet with any approval at all out of the Territory from which it emanates must scem singular to those who are ignorant of the origin and affinities of Mormonism. Those who have etudied that remarkable phenomenon of mo- dern times, and who know the source from which it took its rise, will not be surprised on perceiv- ing that the Mormons have their friends among the politicians of the Northern States, and that there is a sect here which is quite ready, in a covert way, to sympathise with them. That sect is the anti-slavery, infidel and Fourierite phalanx, which took its rise many years ago in New England, and whose present organ and mouthpiece is the New York Tribune. Hitherto the sympathy of the infidel Fou- ricrites and their organ with the distressed po- lygamists of Salt Lake has been so carefully concealed that it was difficult to detect any out- ward signs of it. But latterly, it seems, the Fouricrites have grown more courageous; they are venturing to run counter to public preju- dice against the Mormons, and to break ground boldly in their favor. Thus, the last number of the New Fork Tribune contains the following reflections on the memorial which we have just described:— ‘Their (the Mormon) request to know precisely what the government want and intend appears to be reasonable. Considering the experience of the Mormons, and the view which has D popularly taken of the object of the present expedition, it is not surprising that they should regard it in the light of a crusade intended to compel them to renounce their religion. It might be difficult to disabuse them of this idea, but the public, and especially the troops, might, by a distinct programme on the part of the government, be placed right upon these points. It must be admitted that this is not in the asual style of the Tribune when it advocates a cause. The President is not here called a vil- lain or a liar; nor are the Mormons likened to Jesus Christ. But there is a time for all things, and degrees even in Tribune reasoning. By and by we shall have matter of fact and vehement pro-polygamy articles in the Zribune; mean- while, this modest apologetic style will no doubt answer the purpose required quite as ef- fectiveiy. That it is the purpose of the party of which the Tribune is the mouthpiece to espouse alto- gether the cause of the Mormons, to aid them in their rebellion against the United States gov- ernment, and if possible to put them in the way of carrying their point in the teeth of the ad- ministration, no one who carefully studies the theories of infidel Fourierism and free love can doubt fora moment. At bottom, there is no radical difference between the free lovers and the Mormons. Both deny the efficacy of the divine institution of marriage as an outlet for the sea- sual passions ; both believe in the lawfulness of an intercourse which it requires very close in- spection to designate otherwise than as promis- cuous. Both believe in the right of the parties toa marriage contract to dissolve it at will. Both sprang from the same cradle, namely, that New England intellectual frenzy which has given birth to all the isms and moet of the ab- surdities of the present day. And both tend to the same end—a general throwing off of all moral and legal restraints, and a complete in- dependence of divine and ') man authority. How could it be expected that with these af- finities the free lovers of New Bngland and other Northern States could stand by calmly while the Mormons were being suppressed? The thing was absurd on the face of it, At first, there were difficulties in the way. Public sen- timent wae very decided against polygamy— the indiscretions of the Mormons made every one their enemies. The stories which were told of their outrages upon defencelese girls and helpless wayfarers across the plains aroused ge- neral indigwation. Policy therefore dictated silence to their sympathizers. The Zhibune rather affected to condemn them Other free lovers censured them still more strongly. But thie was only the blind. When the bill for the increase of the army came up in the Senate, the first real blow in favor of the Mormons was struck; and now encouraged by this victory, the free lovers take a further step ia advance in the article above quoted. A few months hence, they will be in full blast in favor of polygamy and rebellion. Cuevatten Forxry wy a Stew.—Tho Cheva- lier Forney, since be abandoned Mr. Buchanan, has displayed in his Washington correspondence to his paper in Philadelphia that he isin a state of mind more amusing and funny than any that we remember to have seen any person in be- fore. His latest letter (published elsewhere) is a chapter of griefand sorrow quite equal to the lamentations of the prophet Jorcmiah. He talke of “surprise,” “grief,” “dismay,” “politi- cal combination,” “Greeley and the Tribune,” “experienced President,” “change,” “relations of my boyhood,” “houses of foes,” “patronage n my gift,’ “humblest clerk, with his little famil ‘army of spies,” “unguarded gentle- men,” “shameless trade,”’ “broken in fortunes,” “langhing at conscience,” “guilty wages,” “eye of greatness,” “surrounded by sycophants,” “wicked and merciless,” “great and glorious democracy,” “pillars of eternal truth,” “inde- pendent journalist,” “Maxwell M’Caslin,” “night day,” “clouds of winter,” “save Mr. Bu- chanan,”’ and “more to-morrow.” Such expressions as these meander through- out the Chevalier’s letter, into which they are thrown topay-turvy, head over heela Poor Forney! He has described his own broken for- tunes in his accougt of those who surround him. He thinks that Washington and the whole country is under a reign of terror; that We. Bycbagan is qp Emperor Nepoleon; that the democratic party is knocked sky high, and that the “ Little Giant” has grown even smaller in dimensions and meaner in his breeches pockets. The fact is, Forney became too big for his breeches. He was a small man in a big cause. During the election of ’56 this small man figured in the forlorn hope of Pennsyl- vania. He had the vanity to think that he faved that State, and wished to be a Senator of the United States, for which post he had not sufficient calibre. He so far imposed upon the good nature of Mr. Buchanan as to induce him to write a very improper letter to several mem- bers of the Legislature. But as the democrats of Pennsylvania were quite satisfied that Forney was not competent for the office, they kicked him over. He next desired to be Postmaster General, and we helped him to get that post, but it was found that he was not equal to the re- ception of the accounts of the department. He was then offered the post of Consul to Liver- pool, which he declined. He is now going to ruin a6 fast ashe can drive. The paper which he publishes in Philadelphia is now losing, it is said, from two hundred to four hundred dollars per week. Douglas, Wise and Walker have as much as they can do to keep their own heads above water without assisting Forney in sus- taining his establishment, and therefore he is obliged to resort for subscribers to his old enemies, the black republicans, who are using him up as fast as they can. Yet there is one chance for escape for the Chevalier Forney. He is new out in his character as a politician, but from the quality of his intellect and the flickering of his imagination he might make a capital revival parson for a few weeks. His knowledge of political rascality, gained by his experience in poor Piorce’s kitchen, would en- able him to make prayers and preach sermons of the most dismal and telling character. There is no reeource left for him but to turn revival parson at once. Perhaps hb: might dd for a Mormon elder. How would he like that? We tried all we could to help him to be Senator from Pennsylvania ; we tried to get him into the Cabinet—a greater failure still; we tried to help him to the Liverpool consulate, but he turned up bis nose at that. Now we are willing to do our best to give him a fair start asa re- vival parson, if he thinks it a reputable voca- tion; or if not, we will do all we can to get him & high place among the Mormons, including all the trimmings. Revoir or tae Ricrwonp Junta.—One of the most remarkable outeide movements in con- nection with the Douglas-Kansas defection at Washington, is the revolt of the old democratic junta of Richmond, Virginia. We were some- what startled by the Tammany Hall pronuncia- miento of Governor Wise, but now the Richmond Enquirer comes out, not exactly in opposition to Lecompton, but in defence of the Douglas con- spirators. The Enquirer has been the trusted organ of the Virginia democracy for half a cen- tury, and though now and then it has been a little shaky in the knees, it has always hereto- fore contrived to come into line at the critical point. But now, at the critical point, it is fly- ing off ata tangeot. Thus, one after another, cliques, juntas, leaders and newspaper orgaas, North and South, the wheels, and cranks, and straps, and shafts of that cumbrous machine known as the democratic party are breaking to pieces. The only remaining hope for the party is in the firm and resolute administration of Mr. Buchanan. Should that be swamped by party defections, the “unterrified democracy” will be dispersed like a routed army, never to take the field again—that’s all. THE LATEST NEWS. INTERESTING FROM WASIINGTON.

Wasuivorow, March 16, 1958, The republican Senators in cauct ; this morning agreed to let the vote be taken om the admission of Kansas on Monday next. ‘The reading of the momorial which was submited to the House by Speaker Orr, from both branches of the Uta Leginlataro, caused quite a sensation. (The docu. ment appeared in the Mmnau of the 10th instant.) Fre- quent efforts were made to suppress its reading. The reading was listened to with much attention.
