The News. ‘The steamship Kangaroo, from Liverpool 14th inst., had not made ber appearance off Sandy Hook pp to a late hour last evening. Both houses of Congress were engaged on the Kansas bill yesterday. It is not improbable that this vexatious question may be definitively settled to- day. a from the city of Mexico to the 19th and from Vera Cruz to the 22d instant have been re- ceived, but they contain nothing of importance. President Juarez and suite arrived st New Orleans from Havana yesterday. We have news from Havana to the 2th Inst. Sa- gar was dull, at a decline of half a real on the infe- rior qualities. Freights had also declined. It was reported that Gen. Concha had resigned the Captaia Geveralship, and that he was to be succeeded by Gen. Conde Mirasol. The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday and appointed a committee to investigate and report the facta connected with the burning of the new Quarantine buildings at Seguine’s Point. Emigration still continues very light. Up to the 28th only 10879 persons arrived at this port—a decrease of 22,024, as compared with the emigration of last year for the same period. The Executive Committce of the late Crystal Pa- lace Charity Féte held another meeting last cvening, when a further treasurer's report was submitted and some miscellancous business transacted. The accounts, however, are not yetall closed. We give a full report in another column. The Beard of Commigsioners of the Central Park met last evoning and decided to adopt the following plans:>—For the first prize, No.33; second prize, No. 30; third prize, No. 27; fourth prize, No. 26. The firemen wil! meet at their several engine houses this evening to elect an Assistant Engineer in Place of Noab L. Farnham resigned. The votes wil! be canvassed at the Chief's office to-morrow evening. The will of the late John Gregory, Alderman of the Sixteenth ward, was proven yesterday before the Burrogate. The receipts of beef cattle daring the past weck amounted to 2,839 hesd—100 head los then the week previous. The quality of the stock offered for sually good, and with a brisk demand é need half a cent per pound—the range The. a Me., with occasional sales of prime trific above the last mentioned figure. Cows and calves sold quick at former rates—#25 a 45. The receipts of veal calves were very heavy, and prices exl ed a declining tendency. The general selling price ranged from dc. a 6g. There was a fair supply of sheep and lambs in market, which solid at $5 500 #6 75 cach, according to qua- lity. Swine were plenty, and prices advanced some- what. The quotations are 5{c. a Ofc. ‘The cotton market yesterday continued firm, with sales Of about 2,200 baler, closing at 12%c. for middling ap lends.

Kenens in Congress—The Question to be Set Ued To-lay. “et ‘The report of the Kansas Committce of Con ference was debated in both houses yesterday, firangely enough with an evidently increasing intensity of excitement down to the hour of adjournment; but without any other conclusion fn either branch than the understanding in both that thie business is to be finished to-day. The Senate, of course, will ratify the report of the joint committee; hut in the House the iseue has been redaced to “the ninth point of a Lair.” From the apparent readiness of the op position yesterday for the previous quostion, there must have been » screw or two loose in the caloulations of the friends of the bill. Mr Stephens bed designated the doy + when Lronght to the test, he moved the ion of | the queetion for the privilege of another dcop oa the rubject. This wae a significant move none ot ‘ ver ive w YORK HERALD. by only two weajority, after having NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1858. bee conded by reveral doubtful meiabers, leaves the matier 6 vicely balanced as poseibic iu the ecales of uncertainty. The argument best calculated, perhaps, to He. demage the bill was that of Mr. Howard, who | contended that if this seheme te passed allow ing Kansas te come into the Union with her Present population of some forty or filty thousand, thould she accept the Lecomptou constitution, but requiring a population of 93.000 for any other constitution, it wou'd be the death knell of the democracy in the North in regerd to the next Ccngress, So sure was Mr. Howard of this, that he proceeded to give his estimates of the actual results, and pre- dicted that the passage of this compromise would send to the next Congress ono hundred and twenty five out of the one bundred and forty- four Northern members of the House. This calculation, however, depends upon the assump- tion tbat the people of Kaneas will reject this compromiee; for should they accept it, the whole theory of this terrible Northern reaction falls to the ground. Believing, too, that they will accept this bill if passed, we still hope tbat it may be passed, although from the pro- ceedings of yesterday we should not be sur- prised at any other resuit. Required, however, to give an opinion one way or the other, we should @8Y that, fotwlih- standing tbe request of Mr. Stephens for another night for the purpose of recruiting, the proba- bilities are in favor of the passage of the bill There are two importent facts operating to this result. First, the fact that if this conference re- port be not accepted exactly as rendered in from the committce tho whole question is adrift again; and secondly, the fact that the cession is upon the threrbold of the bot ecason, with most of the practical business of the season still un- touched or unfinished. In conclusion, one way or the other, we hope to be able to report to our readers a final de- cision upon tbe English compromise by to-mor- row morning. Nothing remains of this sense- leas Kanses agitation except the most contemp- tible quibbles and the paltriest abstractions; for the great question being settled in Kansas, be- yond all peradventare, it will make no practi- cal difference whetber she is admitted under this, that, or any other bill. Later from Metico—Movements of the Con- mitutional Party. By the arrival of the Tennesece at New Or- leans we have additional advices from Mexico to the 2lst. They are devoid of intcrest— nothing of importance having transpired since the departure of the previous mails, The hos- tile forces occupy pretty muoh the same p2si- tion as beforc—Zuloaga and the church party still retaining possession of the capital, whilst the constitutionalists under Zamors are coucen- trating their strength at Vern Cruz und the ether important pointe held by them. In the absence of any decided steps on the part of the belligerents, all the interest attach fag te the conilict is concentrated on the move ments of Juarez. As we stated yesterday, the constitutional President, so far from sbandon- ing Mexico and the hope of recstablishing his eutherity, Las mercly, from prudential mo- tives, taken a circuitons route to arrive at the stronghold of his party. Instead of going to Acapulco, as was currently believed, he went to Manzanillo, from whonce he left for Panama, on bis way to Vera Cruz via New Orleans. His presence at Vera Cruz will infuse new life and spirit into the constitutionalists, and help to consolidate the liberal and independent ele mente all over the country. The contest which is now waging in Mexico must not be confounded with the previous strag gles and revolutions of which that uchappy country hae been so constantly the theatre. The war which is being carried on between the church party and the liberals ie omphatically the first war of principle in which ite people have been engaged. All the previous conflicts of partics bad their origin merely in the ambi- tions designe of military leaders, cach eager to raise himseifto the supreme power, regardicse of the miseries which they brought upon their coun- try. When Comoafort commenced bis half way measures against the church, he {nangurated a revolution of ideas which may be compared to the first efforts of the religious reformers of Germany. Unlike them, however, he had not the energy or the grasp of mind necessary to carry out his conceptions of his country’s wants to their legitimate conclusion. The conse- quence was, that although he set the ball in mo- tion, he was unable to check or control it, and ing to eatlefy the popular desires, he fell a victim to bis own incapacity. Juarez, his succeseor, has not yet made the tame mistake. He thoroughly comprehends that liberty and good government are imporeible in Mexico without the complete abolition of the enormous monopolies enjoyed by the church. Lie understands further that nothing like sta- bility can be imparted to any government which isnot in a porition to mect its engagements and to satisfy the claims of the national credi- tors. This can only be done by two measures: first, the entire confiscation of the church proper- ty, which embraces three-fourths of the real es- tute of the country, and secondly, by the extin- guishment of the preeent corrupt liens upon the customs duties, and the establishment of an uni- form tariff, so liberal in ite provisions that it will not only promote trade, but supply a revenue ade- quate to all the wants of the goverament, The encouragement of an exclusive immigra- tion for the republic and the clopement of her mino- the cultivation of the waste lands of | ral and other industrial resources is also known | fo be amongst the projects of Juarez. If he can only succeed in giving effect to his in- tentions we ehall find in his administration the only guarantics of peace and pro«perity that have ae yet been held out to Mexico. The question remains to be considered whother the church party is in a position to maintain their hold of the capital and radaco their opponents to submission, The fact tha the whole moral and independent fecling of the country is arrayed against them, and that, not withstanding their continued poeseesion of the capital aad eupport by the army, they have been able to make no progress in the provinces beyond buying up one or two military leaders, is, we think, evidence sufficient of their hope- lee condition. Although the clergy are on- gnged in a death struggle, it is certain that they will make no sacrifices that ore not ex- torted from them by force. Besides, it should be recollected that discontent with the exfeting estate of things proyails to a covsiderable extent among the minor ders of the cle just as it did in Ragland Prior to t tion, aud that their support of the } Reforn ierarchy can only be counted apon so | bave the into the field to reaiet coucession to the popular demande. Ar to (he chance of Santa Anne being able to thrust hum-el! in between the two great conflict- ing partics and reingtate himself in power, we leok npow the idea, since the publication of bir reeen! instructions, ae almest impossible, He can only Impose binseif again upoo the Moxioan people by the sid of Spain. Now, the Mexicans are as jeslons of the Spanianis as the people of tbis country are of the Euglish; their regard for cack other is like that of the step-child and step- mother, and therefore the Mexicans wiil never submit to have anotber ruler imposed upon them by Spain. Moreover, Spain herself, as ie seen by the refusal of Concha to comply with Supta Anna’s requeste, is not at all dispoted to cmbroil herself with the United States by a for- cible intervention in the internal affairs of Mexico. Taking, thereforo, s dispassionate view of all the circumstances, we incline to the belief that fortune will uitimately errey iteelf on the side of the covetitutional or Young Mexico party. We use this latter designation advisedly, for we believe all the mind, the youthful spirit and the patriotic sentiment of tho country ure ranged upder its ‘banners. With ao honest and independent government our rela- tions with Mexico will be inflaitely more profit- able and tailefactory, Equality of paliti- cal coudition is tbo surest claim to the sympa thy and friendship of our people, and we cn- courage the hope that this may be attained under the constitutional government of Jua- rez, and his associates of the party of Youog Mexico. It is the way to prepare that country for the fulfilment of our manifest destiny. Tae Business or Concress—Worina on Snort Trme.— According to the list published in yesturduy’s Hiratp, it appears that there are five hundred bills uvacted apon before Congres, apd about # thousaud bills and petitions before the standing committees. Now, ss the two houses bare agreed to adjourn the present see- sion on the seventh of June, and as tho sanual appropriation bills, involving many extra items, have til to be cousidered aud disposed of, it ie very evident that an immense batch of unfinithed business will go over te the next scasion, This batch, we conjecture, will include the following subjects :— 1. The subject of a gencral Bankrupt law. 2. The revision of the tariff. 3. The admisrion of Oregon az a State. 4. Various new Terr torial bills, 5, The Pucific Raiirvad. 6. The Ocean Steam Mail bill. 7. All the patent monopoly proj hups, and various other schemes, Tu fect, from the amount of valuable time wasted upon the Kansas equabble, it is quite possible that, to secure the passage of the reguiar seppropriations, it will be found neecerary to lengthen the seslon a week, or sex cral weeks, beyond the seveoth of June. This probability is etrengthened from the straitened condition of the treasury, and the urgent requirements of Mr. Cobb for more treasury notes. We understand that he kas no idea of # loan, when promises to pay will an- ewer just as well. But as a new issue will re- quire a now bill, and as a new bill will re-open the discussion of the whole eubject, we appre- hend that, if Mr. Cobb must have the new issue right away, the session must be extended be- youd the present limitation. A remarkable feature of the catalogue of bille we published yesterday, is the large pro- portion of private relief bills We had sup- posed that the Court of Claims was cstablished for the purpose of relieving Congress of the drudgery of these private cases; but the claims of John Smith, Thomas Jones and Nancy Brown, good, bad and indifferent, still appear to constitute the principal business of Congress, after the nigger question. From the aumber of eases, too, reported upon adversely by the standing committees, it is evident that there has been no diminution of these private experiments for plundering the treasury. These adverse reports, however, indicate that the lobby has its drawbacks, in an honest represen- tative of the people here and there, notwith- standing the factious and sectional demoraliza- tion of all parties of the present Congress, Of the general results of the seseion we think we shall have oceasion to congratulate the country should they involve nothing better than the bills uctually necemary to keep the govern- ment on itslegs. We only Lope we may get nothing worse. per- Tor New Goin Freins or Fxazen's Riven — According to our latest advloca from the Pa- cific coast “a great gold fever had broken out in Washington Territory and Vancouver's island.” A letter writer from the infected dis- trict, to a California paper, says: We have had great times since lat I wrote you. We aro crazy with the gol! fever Kveryboty thas can get away is Ol to lrazer's river after gold. Mills and mines, ehipe and ehops, roads and ravosc, ali contribute to swoll the number of the stardy miners. Stories of fabulous wealth are atost, and there is no coubt but what there aro very rich diggings indeed. They lic on Thompson's river, which is @ tribatary of Vrazer’s rtvor, lyumg ip Mngt? territory, above the Roun | parallel. Goid bas been found by the Boundary Commis- ston all along the ine run by them, and there seems to be | but littie doubt that very soon we shall be producing | large quantities of got!. adGinz another to the already nu: merous attra tions of the “vrnd ior sottlers. Other accounts say that the miners are mek ing from a halfan oun: 2 ounces a day. We agree with the California cditor, that “ if there reports be truc, we shall soon know it by | the importe of the dust.” We have had such reports hefore of great discoveries in Oregon, | and doubtless for (he same purpose of attracting | emigrants, As the same mountain chata, how- ever, which runs through California, rans, also, through Oregon, Washington and the Dritich territories on the Pacific, it is probable that gold does exist, more or loss, on the tributaries of Frazer's river. We hope the reports to this effect may be verified; beoaure of the new im- pulse that would follow to our Pacific trade and passenger traffic; but we are rathor in@lined to suspect that by the noxt steamer we shall learn that these Frazer river diggings have been ex- heusted. Tun Nicanacva Trayst Rovrm—Wwo Has tim Contnact?—There is a good deal of myeti- fication as to who bes got the contract for the Transit route from the Nicaraguan government, whether it be Joc White and Stebbins, Vander. Dilt or Moron. They all claim to have it, White insists that it is in his brooches pocket, and is confident thut it will got the approval of the Senate, #0 that le can go to work on the Isthmus in July. Thore are only two years left to fulfil the original contract of the Canal Company, which preooded the Accessory Transit Company; bat » good deal may be done fa that time with j diciow: financiering. seems to Le little doubt thet White and Stebbins best right to the coatract, as thoy to th bebe lg sa the plates: of Wg vdd Comal Company, which ‘bh y have been buying up for a tong this some time past; and, indeed, the vew treaty gives them that right. But, ae Voneéerbilt owns the steamers on both ocenus, Wh te sad Stebbins must get come one to furnish them eteamere, which, if they really have the contract, they may not find it difficult to do We hope that wheever has got the contract, the route will be opened at once, aad a transit afforded to the public across the Isthmus, The governments of both countries ee to insist that this be done immediately, not leave it to be controlled by Wall street speculators apy longer. ‘Thee Financial Ptethora. The banks of this city now hold neerly thirty-six millions in specie, There is no pros pect of sny such revival in foreign exchangu us would justify the renewal of shipments of specie to Europe before the fall; and it is more thao likely that the ehipments will be very light for the wheie of the coming twelve months We ere tuking co little in the way of goods from Europe that the debt which wo ehall have to pey will be very small indeed. There is no exaggeration therefore in presuming that the next three months, to wit, May, June, and July, will edd from ten to fifteem millions to our tpecie reserve, and thot in the beginning of August the banks will find themselves with a epecie accumulation of from forty-five to fifty miliicns of dollars, Indecd, as the inflax of specie to the fiz ancial centres of the world does not proceed alone from the gold producing regions, but rather flows from the pockets of private individuals who, in ordinary times, keep @ certain amount of ovin in circulation, there is every ground for believing that the xsin of our banks during the next three months may be much larger. The country is supposed to contain some $2560,000,000 in specie; of this we can find some $65,000,000 in banks; the balance—which is now in the purses of private indiv duale—may be bavked to s great extent if this stagnation in trade continues, The Bank of London contains at the present time over $90,000,000 in specic; the Bank of France $75,000,000. In comparison with these great institutions our city banks are small po- tato concerns; holding among them less than hbalftbe especie which lies in the vaults of the Bank of France, Yet—as will occur to every reflecting mind at the first glance of these figure+—this isa much more actively commer- cial country than France; we produce more then the French, and we ought naturally to have more of the common circulating medium of commerce. One reason why New York holds +o much less specie than Parie is the division of this country in'o independent financial districta, each with ite own finencial centre, Thus Boston holds eight, Philadelphia six, New Orleans ten, and Richmond, Cincinnati aad Chicago, four or five more millions of dollars—making altogether some thirty millions of coin which are banked, held and distributed at centres outside of New York. Were our city banks to avail themselves of the present period of case and plethora of mo- ney to make this the great centre of the coun- try, in a financial point of view, as London and Paris are the financial centres of England and France, the thing could be done with the great- est eare, and New York would soon hold as fhuch specie as the European financial centres. All that would be required would be a certain aseociation among the banks here, which might be eo restricted and hedged round as not to in- terfere in any degree with their independent cqotrol of their present business. Tho axeocta- tion would have for its first object the distribu- tion and regulation of » paper currency throughout the Union. It would have branch offices at Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, Richmond, Charleston, New Orleans and in other prominent towns; at these branch offices the bills of any member of the association would be redecmed at par. The immense advantage which an arrangement of thie kind would give to the New York banks would enable them to drive all local concerns out of circulation altogether, and wouid render them, necessarily, the custo- dians of ail the specie in bank throughout the country. The association would become as po- tent for good as the Bank of England is in Great Britain. It remains to be seen whether our bank managers will have the sense and sagacity to take stepe for its orgunization. One thing is certain: the accumulation of money at the great financial centres of tho world must necessarily be tho foreruoner of a Period of intense excitement and expansion. There is no use in saying that the example of the late breakdown will deter ua It is non- sense to talk of the stil surviving troubles im- peding a speculative movement. No such movo- ment was cyer etopped or checked by recollec” tions, hotvever vivid, of former troublea. As a body, mankind are strikingly contemptuous of | experience. And there is another point worth | considering. Whenever a necessary consumma- tion is forcacen, it may be taken for graated that it is upon as, When people say on solid grounds that there will be failures in October, they generally come in August; when fie pub- | lic fereece speculation ia August, it breaks forth in June. Practically, the accumulation of money in the bavks is a very disastrous and melancholy token; implying a stagnation in trado, dul- news in industry, and a goneral falling off here | in wages, there in profits, there in food. Bat | aa the foolish man conceives himsolf to be richer when he hes sold his houses and lands for half thelr cost, and rejoices in the right of the thining gold pieces, so the country looks wealthier as in fact it grows poorer; and just | as the fool aforeeaid is more likely to be care- lees of hie money when he eces it before him in coin, than when it was yielding him a revenue | in houses and lands, s the poople of the United States, seeing the millions accumulate in the banks, are certain to forget the sorrow which drove it there, and to fly into all manner of epeculations just to keep it agoing.
