The steamship City of Baltimore, which left Liver- pool on the morning of the 17th inst., arrived at this port yesterday, with over three hundred passengers and foor days later news of an interesting character, Cotton of all grades had declined about one-eighth of a penny in Liverpool, and the market closed dull on the léth. Flour was very heavy and the quota- tions nominal. Sxogar wes firm in the londoa mar- ket, and coffee remained steady in price. Consols closed in London, on the afternoon of the 16th, at 98% a 96] for money,and 96] a 97 for account, Gold to the value of $2,427,720 arrived in London on the 15th, and the Brazilian mail steamer, with $1,113,750, and the West India mail steamer, with $1,246,961 ip specie, arrived at Soathampton on the 16th. Lord Malmesbury hed submitted to the Honse of Lords the official correspondence which took place between the English and French governments sub sequent to Lord Palmerston’s resignation. We pub- lish the papers in full this morning, and comment upon them: in the editoria} columns. Guiseppe Andrea Pierri and Felicé Orsini, con- demned as parricides in France, by the attempt on the life of the Emperor on the 14th of January, were guillotined in Paris on the 13th inst.,in the presence of # vast concourse of spectators. They bore their fate firmly. The sentence of death on Carlo di Radio was commuted into that of hard labor for life, and it was said that he would be used as a wit- ness against Dr. Bernard, whose examination in London upon a charge of being accessory before the fact to the death of the parties who were killed at the time of the attempted assassination, terminated in the committal of the prisoner to take his trial for the offence alleged. Meantime great alarm filled the public mind in France, owing to the widespread system of espionage organized by the Emperor in aid of his system of repression. Most of the Con tinental governments were agitated by the subject, and the Legislature of Sardinia had openly rebuked the French Emperor by rej a new conspiracy bill similar in import to that advocated by Lord Palmerston. The report of the recall of Gen. Concha from the government of Cuba wes denied in Maarid. We have news from Canton to the 24th of Janu- ery. The city was tranquil and the allied rule ac knowledged. Yeb was still in confinement on board ‘an Engiieh war ship. War existed between Russia and China. A Russian outpost on the Amour river was attacked by the Chinese so vigorously that the Russians retrested, when the Celestials destroyed the settlement. said that the army of the Emperor of China had also triumphed over the rebels in some sev re battles, and that this would render the negotiations of Engiaud and France more dificult The news from India is dated at Bombay on the ‘24th ult. The steamship Ava, with the Calcutta mail, wae wrecked near Trincomalee on the 16th alt., when the cargo, js, and about £225,000 in treasure for the Bombay government were lost, but the passengers were seved. The British troops un der Sir Colin Campbell had commenced the cam- paign in Oude, and a division of the army had en- tered the territory. The King of Dethi had been tound guilty and sentenced to banishment to the Andamans. Generally speaking India was quiet. Pighteen thousand Briti#h troops were to be sta- tioned in the Panjab. We have news from British Honduras to the 11th instant. Great alarm and excitement prevailed in consequence of the capture of the city of Beocalor by the Yocatan Indians, and the massacre of some of the inhabitants, a+ it was feared that the savages would extend their marauding into the towns of the British colony. Troops had been sent up to Rio Hondo to protect the inhabitants of the settlements. Accounts from Port au Prince, Hayti, represent that city, and indeed the entire island, as suffering terribly from the combined effecta of a financial crisis and a emallpox ¢ Tie harbor of Port aa Prince, however, was tolerably healthy. We hive letters from Havana to the 26th inst. Santa Anna had not arrived there up to that date emic The sugar market was active, at au advance in prices, but freights remained unaltered. The British cruisers seem to be un lly ve and eaccessfal in parsuit of slavers. Tu addition to the ship Amelia, which was captured recentiy with three hundred negroes on board and sent Jamaica, the steam loop Styx had arrived ana on the 24th inst., followed by the schooner Panchita, which she had taken asaslaver. The Styx sailed the sume even ing in chase of another slave trader The Grand Jury of Kings county made their pre sentment yesterday after a session of twelve days Forty-six true bills were found, thirty-eight casce dismissed, and seven left undecided. The jury pre sented the Third district police station house as in an unsafe condition, and as unfit for the uses for which it is occupied. The Rev. B. Moscowitz, of Rerlin, officiated last ev@ing in th nagogue Beth Tefiloh, Carmine A ed th eof the Jewish Pasa treet, and cha servi NEW YORK .HERALD, over in the Hebrew language. We are prevented by want of space from giving a translation of the ceremony, which was fistened to and in by a large number of both sexes. The synagogue is neatly fitted up, and the vocal aoqnirements of the Rev. B. Moscowitz are alone sufficient to compen- sate any ove of the Jewish persuasion in paying it a visit during the festival. Services will be held every morning and evening until Monday, and an address will be deli on Thursday morning. The argument before the Court of Appeats upon the Street Commissioner case waa concluded yester day, and the decision will, it is expected, be deliver- ed about a week hence, The proceedings of Congress yesterday were unin- teresting, all parties bein; ged in the coming struggle in the House on bill. In the Sen- ate, Senator Johnson proposing reforms in the present system ot Con; ional printing, reduo- ing the prices, &c. In executive session the district appointments were all confirmed. The House was aguin engaged in discussing the Kanaas question. The democratic members of Congress held a cau- cus last evening upon the Kansas bill, and adopted a resolution to sustain the Lecompton constitution. A report of the proceedings is given among our tole- graphic despatches. Nothing of importanee transpired in either branch of the Legislature yesterday. A scene of an unusually exciting nature occurred yesterday before the Councilmen’s Committee on Assessments. Ex-Judge Whiting and Richard Mott were present at the meeting of the committee as counsel on opposite sides of a question of little pub- lic interest. So high dida dispute which arose out of the argument run between them, that first one and then the other, on two different occasions, pro- nounced the statement of his opponent untrue. Ex- Judge Whiting appeared to have lost all control over his temper, and actually took off his coat to at- tack Mr. Mott. By the interposition of the commit- tee, however, and others, he was with difficulty re- strained, and after considerable time order was restored. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday. A reso- lution was offered to the effect that the Comptrol- ler report to the Board the names of all the parties receiving salaries from the Corporation during the last three years. The Committee on County Offices reported in favor of extending the Hall of Records so as toallow au additional room for each office in the building, to be done under the supervision of the Committee on County Offices, at an expense not to exceed $16,000. The report was adopted. The report of the Committee on Civil Courts adverse to paying the bill for decorating the Supreme Court rooms, and refitting the chairs, &c., amounting to over $4,000, was called up and elicited some debate, after which it was adopted. The Board adjourned till Tuesday next. The Board of Ten Governors met yesterday. From the returns of the several wardens it seerss that there are now 7,777 persons under the care of the Board, which is a decrease of 205 as compared with last week. This decrease is mainly in the alms- house. and always comes on the return of fine wea- ther, as there are hundreds who can make a living inf summer time who have to depend upon pab- lic charity in the winter. The Governors spent a good deal of time in doing no business worth re- cording. The preliminary examination of J. B. Smith, who is charged with defrauding the city treasury of ten thousand dollars, was continued yesterday before the Recorder, who decided that Mr. Devlin must be sworn as a witness, and also that the Comptroller be examined. Comptroller Flagg was, therefore, put upon the stand and examined at considerable length. OwingA@o the press of matter we are com- pelled to postpone the publication of our report of the testimony. The news brought yesterday by the City of Baltimore, giving accounts of further decline in cotton at Liverpoo! of %4d. per Ib., produced no corresponding effect on our market, The news from the South, noticing an easier freight market, with improved demand for sterling ex. change and some diminution in receipts at some points, counteracted the effects of foreign advices and imparted more strength to the market. The sales yesterday om- braced abort 1,060 bales, closing at about 12¢ for straight Mines of middling uplands, which were scarce. Flour was heavy, and closed at rates in favor of purchasers. Tho sales were confines chiefly to the local and Eastern trade. Wheat was more active,and about 18,000 bushels were sold at rates given in another column. Corn was steady ‘and prices without change of moment. Sales were to a fair extent at 68c, a 69¢. for Southern white and prime yellow. Rye sold at O7c.,toarrive. Pork was leas ani- mated, while prices continued to be about the same; mesa io lots nold at $16 80.0 $16 85, and prime at $13 75. Cof- fee was more active and prices firm. The Courier’s cargo of 4,800 bags of Rio was sold at p.t,and about 2,280 to the trade at 10\c. a 10kc. 8 10K. The stock of Rio in this market comprises only about 18,789 bags, and about 87,068 bage of all kinds, 13,000 of which consiate of Bahia, Freighis were less buoyant, while engagements were moderate, ‘The Lecompton Opposition on its Last Legs— Speedy Solution of the Whole Dificulty. Since the passage of the Lecompton constitu- tion by the Senate, the opposition factions have been driven trom pillar to post, until, feeble and feinting, they now stand upon their last legs. The «trong porition and inilexible constancy of the President, the failure of all attempts to get up ®b tapressive anti-Lecompton demonstration in this city or anywhere ciee throughout the North, the powerful influence over the Kansae border ruffi.as of all eorls, of the sixty millicas, more or less, of spoils and plunder incident to the admission of the new State, have secured a lodgement for the Lecompton constitution in the House of Representatives from which it can- not be driven. And thus it happens that the devices of the several factions of the opposition to unite their forces, and to maintain withal to each faction a ehow of consistency, are among the moet ridiculous and laughable of all the art- ful dodges of bDlustering, ranting, canting and slippery politicians, One of the best evidences of the strength of the Lecompton programme has been fur- niehed within the Iaet few days by “the sober second thought” of some of the deluded democratic followers of Mr. Douglas. In their bebalf, accordingly, negotiations have been entered into which we have every reason to believe will Lriug “torth fruits meet for repent ance” in the closing proceedings of the House to- morrow upon the Kansas bill. As the laborers who came into the vineyard at the eleventh hour were admitted to an equal footing with those who had “ berne the heat and burden of the day,” so may Mr. Englieh and bis repenting associates, at the eleventh hour, feel assured of a full restora- tion to the bosom of the church. But as for Douglas, Harrie, Haskiv, and euch, there can be now no other course than to take them out into the plaza and have them publicly shot as deliberate and malignant deserters and muti- neera. But while this hopeful work of repentance has been thus happily introduced among the Douglas backsliders from the trae faith, the anxieties, perplexities and desperate ex- tremities of the opposition factions have re- duced them to the most ludicrous shifte and expedients to save their bacon. Thus the Southern Know Nothings, or doughbeads, (a new article in the Southern market,) in order to have something to swear by at home, while they may yet resist the policy of the adminis- tration, have hit upon the notable device of the Crittenden amendment. This device is the Pagh proviso elaborated, or the policy of the President with a variation which will not make the slightest differegce in the pratical result. OEE EEE EE EEE WEDNESDAY, .MARCH 31, 1858. In a word, these Southern doughheads progos? | for eupport; such are his only reai friends in that Kansas eball be admitted under the Le compton programme, subject, first, to the ratiti- cation of the people of Kansas; and provided, that in the event of @ rejection of said pro- gramme there shall be 4 uew convention sad a new constitution. This is the roundabout substitute of the South Americans; and they have been calling lustily for the last few days upon the black republicans tocome to the rescue. But Father Giddings and bis anti-slavery ultras, whose platform is “po more slave States and no more slave Ter- ritories,” have no stomach for this Lecompton slave State programme, sugar it over as you may. They will stultify themselves and dis- grace themselvesamong their abolition brethrea at home by swallowing this Calhoun preacrip- tion of slavery in Kansas in any shape. Bury it in the vinegar of a protest, or in the sorghum of “popular sovereignty,” the nigger, with his master at hia back, is still there. And yet we see that some of our most ferocious, intractable, malignant and uncompromising anti-Lecomptoa organs are earnestly begging and praying their brethren in Congress to try the Lecomptoa wormwood—frands, forgeries, niggers and all— with the sugar-coating amendment of Mr. Crit- tenden. ‘This is certainly the most extraordinary, the most deaperate and the most laughable of all the many Kansas dodges of the opposition factions, It is a patchwork compromise which forcibly {illustrates the hollownees of the late bluster and bravado of these opposition agitators—black republicans, Douglas renegades and Know Nothing dough- heads and their organs—here and elsewhere After all their rant and cant and fuss and fury, they find, when brought to the pinch, that the only expedient upon which they can hope to unite is a roundabout dodge for the accompliab- ment of the same thing which the plan of the administration will accomplish at once. But as there appears to be no satisfactory assurances of a coalition upon this Crittenden expedient, we are more than ever justified in the conclu- sions that this Lecompton bill will pass; that it will pass before the end of this week, and that before the end of April this senselees Kan- sas agitation wili be as dead as Julius Casar or Senator Douglas. Admitted, even under the Lecompton pro- gramme, Kansas, to all practical intents and purposes, will be a free State: « two-thirds free State majority in both branches of the organic State Legislature leaves no doubt upon that point. And thus the Lecompton courtitution, within a month after ite adoption, may be set aside. Under these convictions, we are -san- guine of the success of the bill. Nor should we be in the least surprised if the peace which will follow to Kansas aru t> Luc country upon this nigger agitation wor. io ces ls in such @ healthful and general reection in the public mind as to leave Mr. }ouvgiae, Mr. Walker, Gov. Wise, ibe Southern Koow Nothiags and the black republicans all high and dry in the ap- Pproaching Congressional :ril elections, North and South. In fact, we believe that a reaction of this sort is almost certain to come, and that new issues and new measur. of a broad and general practical character will very soon ef- face every vestige of inis miserable Kansas ex. citement. Before next December probably no- thing will be left of it but the numerous killed ‘and wounded of this four years Kansas scrim- mage among the politicians to tell the dismal story of their foolish efforts upon this paltry ssue to crush the administration of Mr. Bu- chapan. ‘The Delicate Condition of the Anglo-French Alliance. The reader will find elsewhere the corres- pondence between the French and English governments in relation to the recent misunder- standing which caused the downfall of the government of Lord Palmerston. The tone of M. de Walewski’s last despatch is considered as a cowplete withdrawal of the expressions which led to the difficulty ; and, taken conjointly with the execution of Orsini and Pierri, seems to have exercised a tranquilizing effect upon the money markets and commercial exchanges of both countries, Some slight uneasinoas still overhangs the horizon; but aa a general thing the feeling is much better and more calm. Withdrawing one’s glance from the facts im- mediately betore us, and devoting some con- sideration to the great principles of policy and the general course of events in France and England, there is, notwithstanding, room for very serious doubt and uneasiness as to the future. Whatever these despatches may convey, there can be no doubt that the broad general principle of the policy of Napoleon the Third is the establishment of his dynasty on the throne of France. He cares, no doubt, for France; he cares for the English alliance ; he cares for the prosperity of Europe; he cares for a number of other things besides; but his first and prime care is for his dynesty. To maintain that dy- nasty it is reasonable to suppose that he would sacrifice almost anything; nor can any limit be set to the lengths he would probably go to crush out ite adversaries. Now, these adver- sariee are the republicans of France. They are a party weak in numbers, but constantly deriv- ing strength from the aid and comfort impart- ed to them by whom t—by the free press of Eng- land. Without the free press of England the re- publican party in France miy,ht die out; it is maintained in ite vigor and tenacity of purpose mainly by the tacit aid which the British pross gives to ite purposes, and the open applause with which it hails ite doctrines. Thus, in this point of view, the first enemy against whom Na- poleon must wish to contend is the free press, that is to say, the free institutions of England. ‘There is yet another reason why the English alliance may have already begun to weigh heavily on the mind and shoulders of the Em- peror of the French. Napoleon was raised to his present rank and is maintained thereon al- together by the support of the agricultural classes of France, and the army which springs and is incessantly recruited from them. It isto these classes that he owes his elevation; it is on their de@btion that he relies for support in case the fight between himself and the republi- cuns comes to the arbitrament of blows. Now, the ruling passion of the entire agricultural po- pulation of France is hatred of England. The Anglophobia of the French far surpasses the animosity which is felt against England among our most violent anti-English natives, and out- shadows the insular prejudice which the English of the rural districts entertain for all foreign- ers. It is a passion which the first Napoleon labored earnestly to foster, and he did the work eo well that after forty years of peace and alliance with England, the third generation of Frenchmen toil as ardently as their grandfath- ers to avenge Waterloo and St. Helena. Sach js the rage om whigh Louis Napoleon is relying ee, How can he retain their good will, and keep holy the English alliance at the same time? Is it not \,'kely that one of the two must go to the wall—that the Emperor must break either with England, or with the Colonels and the seven millions of people they represent? That, if he continues to foster the treaty with England, and, in the terms of Walewski’s despatch, to take care of England’s honor before his own, or that of France, a day will come when England’s haters in France will refuse to protect him and his dy- pasty against the assaults of the republicans? This is the question which is engrossing the mind of the Emperor, and on the solution of which historical consequences of the highest mo- ment depend. If the Emperor comes to thecon- clusion—as he may do—that a continuation of the entente cordiale with England will effectively alienate from him the affections of the agricul- tural population and the army—asit did with Louis XVIII. and Monsieur Guizot—he is like- ly, looking only to the preservation and per- petuation of his own dynasty, to yield to the Anglophobia mania of his follewers, and to give his consent to ® war upon England. To a man of high principle and generous heart the bare idea of a war between the two great maritime nations of Europe in- volves something horrible and shocking to con- template; but considerations of commerce and civilization and humanity are not likely to weigh as much with a successful and talented— but reckless and unscrupulous—adventurer like Louis Napoleon as the thought of his own dynasty. England is undoubtededly an eyesore to him. Could he silence her free press, and get the weight of the alliance from his shoulders, he would be able to govern the people of France far more successpally and easily. It would be a great thing to be Emperor of the West, dividing Europe with the Emperor Alexander and reali- zing his uncle’s dream. It would be a great thing to give the rein to the projects of some of those soldiers who have offered again and again to take London with fifty thousand men. He has already emulated Napoleon and Char- lemagoe; William the Conqueror would be a good model, too. A descent upon England with a hundred thousand men, driven forward by the aid of steam; the capture of London, and overthrow of the government; a desperate, deadly struggle for some weeks; at last a deci- sion on the part of the English mechanics sad laborers to leave the aristocracy to fight it out, and to emigrate to this country with their skill and their machinery; the acknowledgment of Napoleon as sovereign of England, and re- establishment of the Empire of the West, after 1,500 years non-existence; these may seem wild dreams, but there are some in France, who are not considered dreamers, who are turning them over in their minds. Boova Financia, News.—The Tribune having given u, manufacturing bogus news about Kan sas—in which matter its occupation is gone, as its head will be taken off in a few days—has now turned to making bogus financial news. It stated yesterday that Auguste Belmont had sent an agent to Mexico to negotiate a loan of three million and a half with the government of Juarez on a pledge of Sonora, and guaranteed by the United States government. We have ascertained from the best authority—namely, Mr. Belmont himself— that there is as much truth in the report as thero was in the large loan he made to the Russian government while at the Hague. How much truth there was in that the Russian government knows best. Mr. Belmont does not think that a loan to Mexico would be a very profitable ope- ration. But if the United States government will agree to guarantee the payment, even in the depleted condition of the treasury, he might be induced to make the loan. ‘Mr. Taareenc baa returned from «teur of nearly three months duration in the South and West, achieving @ suc ceasion of triumphs. He intends to rest from bis labors for a short time, The shorter the better for the public. Accapemy or Mcsic.—‘Tum Mussuaut.'’—The Sacred Har- monic Society gave Handel's ‘Mosaiab’’ last night to a full house. The solos were sung by Mr. Former, Mr. Simpeon, Mme. D’ Angri and Mme, Caradori. The choruses by the ladies and gentlemen of the Harmonic Bociety were given with much more precision than on the first performance of the oratorio, and the music throughout was weil expresed. Mr. Formes, and Mme. 1’ Angr! of course carried off the vocal honors. In the air, “Ho was doa. pised,”’ Mme. d’Angri repeated bor former triumphs, was admirably rendered. Mr. Simpson is a young tenor with a good voice, an agresable and a modest manner, quite ,rare among artists, and almost unknown among tenors. The orchestra under Mr. Anschuts was excelleut ag usual. The house was full. Pace Jeusy’s Faxewsi. Concxnt.—M. Julien gave bis farewell concert previous to his leaving this city for South America at Mozart Hall last evening. The audience in- cluded the (Ive of the musical profession aod a large at- tepdance of the admirers of the young violinist.

Tie waa onthusiasticalty applauded and often recalled. The remainder of the concert was not quite up to the promises of the programme. The tenor, Tiberini, was announced aa “ indispgsed,” and ib was stated that Mr. Goldbeck, the pianiat, declined to piay be- cause he was announced asa“ talented young pirnist.”’ What Mr. Goldbeck really did want we do not know; but considering that he has yet aname to make his course was a very foolish one, and he deserved the hisses which followed the announcement of his determination to dlaap- point the audience, who certainly could not be held re sponsible for any wound to his amour propre which had been inflicted by the management of the concert.

There was a large attendance—some eighty mem- bers being present. Mr. English, of Indiana, Chairman of the committee of twenty, stated to the caucus that they bad hada friendly and harmonious meeting, Dut did not arrive at any satis- factory conclusion. He devired to say afew words as to himgelf. He said he bad ever been « demoorat; had never swerved from the true faith, &0.; out of six papers in his district, five were auti-Lecomptons, and that his con- stituency were also of the same sentiment, and although be would Like to vote with the party on the question, he abbored and detested black republicanism, their senti- ments and croed. He would vote against laying the Senate Dill on the table, and would use every offort to keep life im the bill, with the hopo of a compromise and its final passage. He would not act factious in any sense. Mr. S:ephens, of Georgia, was in favor of the Senate bill. He hoped the democracy would stand shoulder to shoulder, and trusted the democracy would give a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether, and gave the party and the administration; and that he would on Thursday move to take up the Sonate bill and urge its passage. He then moved the following rogolution:— Paint ‘That the democratic members of the House of Representatives will sustain the Senate bill for the ad- mission of Kansas. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, asked to be heard. Mr. Stephens moved the previous question, which was carried. Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, wished to know whether his presence here was to be considered as binding upon him ag to any action by the caucus f Mr. Stephens replied—Most certainly not. Every gen- ‘tleman was at liberty to act as he chose, at all times and ‘on all occasions. ‘Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, said he was of opinion that no good could grow out ef any discussion of the question. ‘His opinion was well understood. He regretted to differ with the majority of the democracy, but would be com- Peized #0 to do, ‘The previous question was then carried—26 to 22. The question then was, “ Shall the main question be now putt’” A division was ordered and lost—22 to 18, Mr. Smith, of Tennesace, made a motion to adjourn, but the motion was lost, ‘Mr. Smith then moved that the;main question be now prt.
