The corrupt rule of the Monagas family could not be endured longer, and produced a popular revulsion #0 general and over whelming that the masses in their enjoyment of it may injure the cause of liberty by excesses. It is, however, generally proclaimed there that any change roust be tor the better. Capt. Ward, of the bark Hyperion, from Trinidad (Port Spain) arrived yesterday, reports having touched at West End of St. Croix, about 2d instant, and that a schooner bad just arrived at that piace full of passengers, fleeing from an insurrection that bad taken place on that island. An English war steamer, lying at West End, immediately got under way, and proceeded to Antigua. No further particulars are given. We have news from St. Kitts, West Indies, dated February 28. The weather daring the greatee part of that month had been very dry, bat on the last day of the month refreshing showers fell. Sugar making was proceeding through the country, and the yield in some places was very good, reaching as much as three and even four hogsheads to the acre; but the general crop of the island was nevertheless expected to fall far short of the estimate made some months ago. We bave advices from the West Indies dated at ‘Tobago on 27th of February. Complaint was made of the scorching effects of the sun upon canes planted on ridges and poor soil, and estates dependent on water power for grinding their canes were beginning to complain of deficiency of water; but on the whole the weather waa favorable for taking off the crop, whien was expected to be considerably in excess of that of last year. The island continued healthy. We bave files from Barbadoes dated at Bridge town to 24th ult. Our correspondent writing on that day says:—‘Since last advices there has been an improved demand for breadstuffs and provisions, and as the market is moderately supplied, and a large local consuroption of beth corn meal and flour, prices of both articles have advanced. There is little doing in salted meats—late importations have been stored. Lard is dull. Butter of really good quality would find buyers at full rates. Codfish is in ample supply, and scarcely realizes quotations. The weather i« rather dry, with very high winds occasionally, bat continues, on the whole, favorable for sugar making. There have been no operations to speak of in produce, the planters being unwilling sellers at the prices offering, viz: sugar $34 per * 100 Ibs., and molasses Ic. per gallon. The public health continues good.” The body of the anknown female found packed up ina whiskey barrel at the freight depot of the Hudson River Railroad was transported from Chi- cago to this city via Detroit. Mayor Tiemann re- ceived a telegraphic dispatch in relation to the mat- ter on Saturday, with a request from the authorities at Chicago that the body should be forwarded to that city as eoon as possible, as it was quite proba bie that it could be identified. Coroner Hills ts tends exhuming the remains of deceased, and, in cordance with the desire of the suthorities at C! cago, the corpse will be forwarded immediately. Nothing else of note regarding the mysterious case bas transpired. ‘The inquest in the case of the murdered youth Charles L.

Another publisher of obscene works has been arrested by the police.

In our maritime columns will be found a commauni- cation which may dispel some fears in reference to the supposed loss of the British brig Bloomer, which sailed from Boston for Newfoundiand, and has not been beard from since. We publish in our advertising colamns a protest of property owners on the line of Greenwich and Washington trects, addressed to the members of the J egislatare, against the passage of the Ninth Avenue Railroad bill. It very simply, yet forcibly, sets forth the views of the protestants. .

As the matter stands, it is now self- evident that there is no practical alternative. The pian we speak of involves, first, the admie sion of Kansas under the Lecompton constitu- tion, should the people think fit to sccept it; secondly, in the event of its rejection by them, the calling of a new Convention, and the for- mation and popular ratification of a new con- stitation to be submitted to Congress. Our readers are aware that all this time a Free State Constitutioval Convention bas been in session in Kansas, and that they have adopt ed s suffrage system, which, in any event, ren- ders the acceptance of their constitution a Con- greseional impossibility. They have carried the doctrine of “popular sovercignty” to an extremity fag beyond the stomach of Mr. Dougins and his democratic followers, and quite beyond the Simon Pure native American notions of the Southern Know Nothings. A constitutional programme which places negroes and foreigners on the same level with native born free white citizens can hardly be made ac- ceptable to Mr. Dougias or Mr. Crittenden—the first being fully committed to the Dred Scott de- cision, and the latter to that impregnable doo teine that “Americans shall rule America.” ‘The most singular thing in this connection is, that while the anti-slavery fanatics of Kansas have been adopting this extreme platform of negro equality the whole black republican camp in Congress have gone over “with a condition precedent” to the Lecompton slave State coasti- tution. This is the most sweeping and extraordi- nary example of stultification in ali the history of all our shuffling political factions, famatica and demagogues. In asingle act, and in asingle day, the whole black republican fabric of sectional agitation has been pulled down by these agi- | tators themselves around their own ears. Acd why? Because their mean and malignant hatred of Mr. Buchanan has been stronger than their love of niggers, principle or consistency. To gain the shadow of a victory over the adminis tration they have sacrificed the substance @ their principles and political hopes. And they will pay for it. Thoir repeated votes fur that which they have 0 fiercely denounced for the last six months as a bill of perjuries, forgeries, swindlea, robberies, murders, frauds and ballot- staffing tricks of all kinds—the Lecompton con- stitution—will follow them home; and, in the elections for the next Congress, they will stand like convicted criminals before their disgusted abolition constituenta From the letter of our especial Kansas cor- respondent, published in our yesterday's paper, it appears that at an anti-Lecomptun mass meeting held a few daysago at Leavenworth, the most violent course of resistance to the Lecompton constitution, in the event of its ungualified adoption by Congress, was the pre- dominant sentiment of the few rabid free State men left in that Territory, General Jim Lane suid—*Let Congress pass Lecompton; it fulls dead and damned of its own weight.’ Speaking of the Free State Constita- tional Convention, Judge Conway said— “Let it proceed. The moment the peopie of Kansas become o State of the Ame- riean Union they are free’—free umder the compact of the Louisiana acquisition, of which Kansas was a part, to form their State government in their own way. Mr. Foster, a member elect of the organic State Legisiatare, December, if elected, he “had pledged himself never to live under the Lecompton swindle, and to-night, before God and this peopie, he renewed that pledge. He never would qualify under that ewindle, and should consider the people of Kansans as disgraced if they, for one hour, allowed it to become the organic law of the State.” This sentiment, it appears, waa loudly applauded by those present, and so on to the end of the chapter. and factions at Washington, and the state of things among these professional agita- tors in Kansas, what is the only course sug- gested to Congress? Clearly it is the passage the pre of an act providing for the admission of Kansas | under the Lecompton constitution, should the people agree to accept it, and in case they re- ject it, providing for » new Convention and a new constitution to be submitted to Congress after it shall have been ratified by the pepular vote. Thie policy will carry over the act of admission to the next session; but from the facts which we have detailed, it ie evident that—as the ruling aboli- tion Kansas fanatics have not yet cooled down to the principles of common sense—it will be an act of charity to allow them a margin of a few months longer, to the end of a more decent so- lution of “pepular sovereignty” than anything of the sort which they have yet exhibited or attempted. Ma. Bocwaxay avn Gov. Wise.—A black re. publican newspaper correspondent at Washing- ton has put the report into circulation that Mr. Buchanan, driven to despair by the action of the House on the Kansas question, has written adolefal and pitiful letter to Gov. Wise in search of advice and consolation. Of course this extraordinary bit of news is a pitital fabri. cation. Mr. Buchanan has done bis duty in re- gard to Kaneas, and in leaving the iseue with Congrese, be leaves to them the responsibilities of © settlement of this dieguating squabble.

There are a great many strong reasons for the course which has beea adopted by our government in deciining to join the alliance, not the least important of which is that we have uo excuse for making war on China—not even as good a pretence as England hae set up, and which has been denomeed ia the British Parliament as not justifying hostili- ties England asserts that the Governor of Canton insulted her flag by arresting certain Chi- nese rabbie who had hoisted the British colors on one of their river boats, and although the men were released, the apology was not deemed safficient, and therefore John Chinaman must again feel the prowess of John Bull.

Now. the United States flag bas not been insulted by Chins; no American missionary haa been killed, nor have we any designs on the Amoor, except to build fast steamers to navigate that splendid river.
