Phe Nows. The steamship Arabia, which left Liverpool on the forenoon of the 17th inst., arrived at her dock at Jorvey City early yesterday morning, bringing seven days later European news of an interesting char acter. No change of importance had taken place inthe London money market, and the rate of discount remained unaltered. Consols were quiet, and closed steadily on the evening of the 16th at 967 « 96} for money and 964 a 96{ for account. The specie re- werve of the Bank of England had decreased $20,320. Cotton, of all descriptions, experienced a slight Gecline in the Liverpool market. At Manchester trade was very quiet, and prices tended in favor of buyers, who were holding off for later news from, Amorica. Flour was dull, without change in prices. In the London market sugar was heavy, and from sixpence to one shilling per hundred cheaper for common sorta. Coffee was dull, and some descrip- tions had fallen. The British Parliament re-assembled on the 12th inst., but nothing of importance had taken place in either house, although some highly intéresting re. marks were made with reference to the new pass- port system of France, the English plan of enlisting negro soldiers in Africa for service in India, and the naval estimates. Lord Derby's government, gene- Tally supported by the Commons, was determined to keep up an efficient Channel fleet, in imitation, as asserted, of Napoleon's armament at Toulon. Marshal Peliasier, the new French ambassador to England, had arrived in London, and was received by Queen Victoria. His reception at Dover and other places was most flattering. Simon Bernard's trial was concladed in London on the 16th instant, but we have not received the verdict of the jury. Mr. James made an impassioned address for the de- fence, while he denounced Napoleon as an assassin and a despot, amidst the cheers of the spectators in court. The Geographical Society of London waa disposed to doubt the accuracy of Dr. Kane's theory of an open Polar Sea, and the members thought he was mislead by erroneous calculations of others when he adopted it. France was quiet, and the Emperor had gone to visit his farm in the Sologne. Government had named ite candidates for the vacant seats in the Legislative body from Paris. The opposition candi- dates, with one exception, had refused an invitation to visit the Tuileries. The government bill asking the sum of 180,000,000 france for improvements in Paris was warmly opposed in the Legislature. * The relations between Naples and Sardinia, grow- ing ont of the Cagliori aftair, were very threatening. In Russia the emancipation question made great Progress. ad From Madrid we learn that Senor Lafragua, the Mexican Minister in Spain, having received from General Zuloaga an order to resign his fonctions refused to comply, stating that, there being still two competitors for the Presidency of the Mexican republic, General Zuloagsa had at present no legal right to the title. Three fourths of the city of Christiana, the capital of Norway, wae destroyed by fire on the 14th inst. The losses were estimated at ten millions of franca. Additional advices from India state that order was beginning to be restored in Lucknow under Sir Colin Campbell. Major Hodson, who captured the King of Delhi, was killed at the storming of Lack- pow. The rebels were still in great force at Ban- delcund. The territory of the Rajah of Banpour was confiscated to the British crown. Commissioner Yeh, of Canton, bad arrived at Calcutta as a pri poner. We have news from Rio Janeiro to the 16th ult., in anticipation of the English mail from Brazil. As Previously reported, the difference that threatened a rupture between Brazil and Paraguay has been ar- ranged. The rivers are to be opened to the flags of fll nations up to Coyaba, the capital of the most Central province of Brazil. War was almost inevita- ble between Gen. Urquiza and Buenos Ayres. The better kind of coffee was quoted at from 4,000 to 6,000 rela, and the stock was reduced to 60,000 bags. ‘The steamship Empire City arrived at this port yesterday from Havana, with news to the 24th inst. ‘On the 26th instant the Empire City was caught in & typhoon blowing from the northwest, which caused a good deal of damage to her sails, io. It was fol- lowed by @ very stiff gale, which continued for twenty-four hours. Bome of our ts nay that the vigilance of the British croisers towards American vessels is frequently necemary, as the slave trade is still aotive. The trial of George Green, master of the Liverpool packet ship A Z, charged with causing the death of James Riley, one of the crew of the vemel, on a re- cent voyage, was commenced yesterday in the United States Distriet Court. of both houses ot Congress yesterduy a moticn to lay the report of the Conference Com mittee on the table was rejected by a vote of 101 to 113, showing @ clear majority fo. the report; bat repeated calls for the previous question on the ac ceptance of the report were defeated, owing to the opposition of a handful of impracticable Southern members. It is believed, however, that the vote will be taken in both branches to-day, and that the re port wili be accepted by the House, thus putting an end to this tedious and profitless controversy. A report of the evi ce may be found in another co.uima, he Kane question again occupied the attention Ta the House The Board of Aldermen were unable to organize last evening, a quorum not being pres: nt. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening. A bill of the Tyibune for services render- ed the Common Council, amounting to $118 19, was referred to the Finance Committee. A report of the Committee on Railroads, in favor of running small cars on the Harlem Railroad to Forty-second street, laid over. A report of the same committee in favor of running cars on that portion of the Ninth Avenue Railroad which is not affected by the injunction was received and a resolution to that effect adopted. The Board concurred with the Aldermen in confirming the recent election of Fire Wardens. The firemen were busy at their several engine and truck honses last evening voting for an assistant en- gineer of the Fire Department in place of Noah L. Farnham, resigned. The vote will be canvassed this evening at the Chief's office, in Elizabeth street The principal candidates voted for were William Hackett, foreman of Engine Company No. 20; P. A. Moore, foreman of Engine Company No. 42, aud T. A. Keese, foreman of Engine Company No. 41. The betting last evening was in favor of Mr. Hackett, who got the largest vote at the Board of Engineers and Foremen last Monday evening. The will of James Mills, deceased, late Prosideut of the Bowery Savings Bank, was probated yester- day in the office of the Surrogate. The effect of the Furopean news on our cotton market yonterday was toa great extent counteracted by advices from the South regarding ipjury from frost, and boilders continued firm in their views, while the sales embraced about 2,000 bales, on the Dasis of 125;c for middiing up- ands. Lo flour the market was without change of momest ie prices. Superfine State and Western were scarce and ia good demand, while the higher grades were less active. Wheat was heavy and irregular, with sales at rates given in another column. In corn sales of New Orleans mixed were made at 70c., ‘straw colored do. at TLige., white at ‘72c. a T8c., and yellow at Téc.a76. Pork was Srmer, while transactions were confined to 300 a 400 bbis., in- cluding mees at $18 76 0 $18 80, and prime at $15 4C a $16 60. Lard was firm at 12c. Sugars were in moderate demand,and prices uncharged. Co‘fee was sold freely by auction, for fuller particulars of which we refer to another comme. Freights were firmer for grain, which was taken in bulk for Liverpool at $\4.; othor articles were without change of moment. Kansas in the House of Roepresentatives— The Factionists Still Successful. From the proceedings of the House of Repre- sentatives yesterday it will be seen that the factionists of that body have again succeeded in staving off the main question upon Kansas, and in reopening the whole field of the debate, notwithstanding the test vote of 101 to 113 against laying the report of the Conference Commitice on the table, Our readers will also remark, from the nice distinctions and pettifogging objections of this member and that member to the English com- promise, that the discussion has degenerated into the most ridiculous pow-wowing over the broken victuals of a cold dinner. When the viands were fresh from the cooks, hot and smok. ing, they possessed a sharp and inviting flavor; but now that they have become cold and stale, nobody cares whether they ure eaten up by the guests or thrown into the swill tub. Whatever the House may do or may fail to fdo now, isa matter of comparative indifference to the coun- try, so far as Kansas is concerned, inasmuch as from the straightforward policy of the adminis- tration, and from the overwhelming asceadency of tbe free State party in Kansas, the question has been practically settled for several months that, under any act of admission or in default of admission, Kansas must be a free State. The several phases through which this thing has passed in Congress present some rare In- stances of party consistency, stultification, and ground and lofty tumbling. First, the President recommended the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton programme, pure and simple, as the legal solution of the Douglas law of popular sovereignty. A bill, accordingly, for the ad- mission of Kansas under the Lecompton consti- tution was reported to the Senate and passed, notwithstanding the ungrateful hostility of Mr. Douglas to his own bantling. But, though im- potent in the Senate, the Lilinois Senator drummed up 4 sufficient number of democratic followers In the House to defeat the bill, and to substitute the Crittenden-Montgomery plan of a submission of the Lecompton constitution to the people— Kansas to come into the Union under it, should it be ratified by the popular vote. Here the great Southern principle that a slave State constitution can in itself be no bar to the admission of a new State was fully con- ceded by the whole black republican camp, in their votes for this Crittenden-Mont- gomery bill; and thus the main plank in their party platform, of “no more slaves States,” was deliberately abandoned, for the purpose of compassing the merest shadow of a defeat of the administration. But the Southern ultras would not admit the right of Congress to cast back the Lecompton constitution for @ popular ratification; and so the substitute bill of the House was rejected by the Senate. The House adhered, and the Senate refusing to receae, this Joint Committee of Con- ference followed ; and this compromise plan of Mr. English, which, we think, ought to be satisfactory to every reasonable man of the Douglas faction and of the Southern tra hair splitting constructionistea—those nice expound- ers of the law —— Who can a hair divide Between ite south and south weet aide, And why satisfactory? Because, as by this English compromise the Lecompton constita- tion is practically submitted to the popular vote of Kansas, the Dougias democracy have gained the great point for which they hate been contending. Secondly, as the vote is put, not apon the constitution, but upon the land question, the Southern strict con- structionists of tweedledum are saved the mor- tifcation of backing down to tweediedes. The case is as plain as a pike etaff. Accompanying the Lecompton constitution there was a Lecompton land ordinance grant- ing to Kansas as a State some twenty-three and half millions of acres of the public do- main. Mr. English thought this too much of a good thing; and this was his epecial objection to the Lecompton programme. The right of Congress to dispose of the government lands no man could dispute. It Is in the constitution in so many words. Hence Mr. English proposed new land ordinance to the Lecompton consti- tution—and this is the bill of the Conference Committee. If the people of Kansas will ao- cept this new ordinance of three and a half mil- lions of acres, submitted by Congress, they will be admitted under the Leoompton constitution; vat If they wish to rejeot this constitution, all bave to de is to vote against this newdand nce With its rejection, the whole Le compton programme will be rejeoted, and they xi) be perfectly free to make for themselves ® aew constitution la nct tbat tsir? No! says Mr, Douglas, It ‘sadodge. It does pot submit the Lecomptoa courttution. Nol says Mr. Howard. It is a cacan device, muse up of @ bribe and a threat. ft offers the bribe of three miilions and a balf of seres in behalf of Lecompton; aad thus, if they reject Lecompton the people of Kansas must forfeit their land; and worse than all, they must tay out of the Union until they can muster & population of 93,000. Bat all this is sheer non. sense, There is not « man in Congress who be- lieves that Kansas will forfeit tho usual allow- ance of public landato a new State ehould she vefuce to accept the Lecompton constitution oa the terme proposed. Nor can we believe that there is @ member of either house who thinks that the condition subsequent in reference to ‘he 93,6€0 population is anything more than 90, much waste paper. "Tbe repeal of the Missourl compromise bas established the fallacy of any specific law outside of the constitution regu- lating the admission of new Ssates. Proved, then, that this outcry of a laad bribe is ct popsense, and that this restriction, iu the event of the rejection by the people of Kansas of the Lecompton constitution, is only so much waste paper, the real merits of the Englisb com- promise are reduced to this simple proposition: ‘The people of Kansas may at once come into the Union as a State under the Lecomptonconstitu- tion, with the new land ordinance annexed, if they wish to do ¢0; if not, they are at liberty to take the chances of admission under a new con- stitution. Thatisall. ‘All the rect is leather and praneila.” And yet we see the intractable factionists of the House, North and South, in- flamiog themselves into the highest pitch of ex- citement, and worrying the oldest member of tbe body into convulsions, with their furious onslaughts against “the bribe and the threat,” the “land bounty to a lave State” and the “ia- sulting restriction against a froe State;” or against what they cali the trickery and equivo- cations aud violations of State rights involved in this really simple plan of adjustment. Mr, Cox, of Ohio, to whom belongs the me- morable distinction of inaugurating the new hall of the House in a radical “popular sovereign- ty” speech against Lecompton, pure and simple, has had the good sense and the manliness to re- cognise that, for all practical purposes, this English adjustafnt is satisfactory. It is apity that there are others of the same school who continue to follow the intractable Mr. Douglas, and that there are Southern dema- gogues who, at this late day, still prefer the agitation of Kansas to the practical business of the country. Itis only in this respect that it is important now to have this Kansas stumbling block out of the way; for while itis evident that nothing else can be attended to till this thing shall be settled, it is equally manifest that, with or without any act of admiseion at this session, this senseless, profitiees and de- moralizing Kanees agitation is exhausted. Let the eubject be dropped by Congress, if they cannot agree upon any scheme, and let the two houses go to business, and the country will be thankful. Prorossp Empiorment or Negro Troops iy Tax Barrish Army i Iypia.—Io another columa will be found a report of # discussion in the House of Commons on the reported in- tention of her Majesty's government to enlist Kroomen on the coast of Africa for the light in- fantry eervice in the Indian army. The scheme bad, it appears, been pushed so far that two officers in the Company's service were on the point of being sent out for the purpose, and it was only in consequence of its being found neceseary first to effect an aiteration in the Mutiny act that their journey was delayed. The arguments used in favor of the measure are that these Kroomen would stand the climate better than Europeans, and would be free from the objections which apply to the Sepoys, in re- gard to their peouliar feelings of caste. The objection taken to it—and it appears to us to be @ fatal one—is, that it would have the effect o° indirectly encouraging the slave trade Although the Kroomen willingly accept service ag seamen, it is weil known that they will only engage themselves for « brief period. Set the English recruiting system in operation on the African coast, and these poor fellows will be trapped and impressed against their will, and tent away to India for an indefiaite period Besides this, the native chiefs, as soon as they find that there is this increased demand for negroes, will deepatch their prisoners in shoals to the coast, in the hope either of passing them off as Kroomen or keeping them ready for ship- ment in slavers, under the pretence of supplying the Indian government with troops. We cannot see how the President of the Board of Control hopes to surmount these objections, unless, in- deed, the necessities of the government should overcome its philanthropical feeling for the blacks. Whatever may be the fate of the pro- ject, ite serious consideration shows how modi- fied has become the feeling in Eogland on the subject of slavery. Twanpte Anovur Tux Tantry—Some af the old women who are not yet dead, contioue at intervals to croak about the want of a protec tive tariff, and argue that if Congress would only just increase the duties on foreign mana- factures, our mills aud factories would revire, and all the world would suddenly be restored to activity. These worthy old ladies are not of course aware of the facta. How could they be, blnd and old and etupid as they have grown! “he facta are that most if not all of our milleare hard at work, some working short, some full time; but that the trouble with them is :hat they cannot sell any goods, because notody wants to buy. The trouble is not that the mar- ket isin the bands of foretgners. Within the past four months the importations have »een unusually light, so light that the country is ao- tually bare of goods. It is that people are poor, and have not got over the revulsion, and don’t want to buy anything. The revulsion killed some fifteen thousand of our commercial houses, and left in round nam- bers two hundred thousand standing. But it must not be supposed that these sarvivors of the wreck escaped unharmed. All lost something; fome more, some less; some a quarter, some all their capital. How can it be expected that these wounded soldiers will rush into the battle already againt The truth is, the whole country is yet quiver- ing and panting from the effect of the revulsion of last year, and no legislation can help them. All the laws in the world will not persuade « fuined man to buy silk dresses and jewelry for bie wife, or a merchant who bas only just es- Oaped failure to rush into extravagant epecule- tiora The cure must be left to time, aud eco- nomy. Arrieton’s New Crovorepia aN ORGAN oF Fourrenism AnD Free Lova.—We bad occasion the other day, in noticing the appearance of the first volumes of this work, to express surprise tbat tbe publishers, who are reputed to be as shrewd as they are wealthy, should have con- fided its editorship to persons like Charles A. Dana and George Ripley, editors of the Zribune, and well known to be deeply imbaed with the infidel, socialivt, Fourlerite, communist and free love theories of that infamous journal. The very firet glance at the work itself justifies the opinion we expressed as soon as we heard the names of the editors, The new American Cy- elopedia ecems destined to be a great vehicle for tbe diesemination of Feurierism, free love and infidelity throughout this country. We bave not gone through the two volumes which have appeared. But in the first volame, page 81, under the head “Actors,” we find evi- dences which aitke establish the pernicious tea- dency of the work, and satisfy the prudent reader that be need proceed no further in the perurel. In the article referred to, we are told that “that which ...... principally tends to sess. Gelay the removal of the [social] ban {upon actors] is their looseness upon the sub- ject of marriage. Some of the greatest actors eacaee have two or three wives living; and there is a lavieh promixcuousness about the no- tions of all, male and female, on the subject of fumily relations.” In the same article, within afew lines of this sweeping censire, we are calmly told that “of all claeses actors are the freest from crime.” It follows therefore that adultery, promis- cuous intercourse, and all the other forms of sexual impurity which the Encyclopedia charges upon actors are not criminal, in the opinion of the editors of that work. They do not conalder it criminal to marry two wives, to seduce young girls, to leave one’s husband, or to debauch one’s friend’s daughter; and thelr opinion to this effect the new American Encyclopedia em- phatically expresses. Where the 7ridune is known this peculiar phi- losopby will be well understood. That journal bes always been the organ of promiscuous inter- course of the sexes and of free love: it is quite patural that the editors of that sheet should deny that there is anything criminal in their favorite doctrines and practices. The two edi- tors of the Cyclopedia, Messrs. Ripley and Dana, were, we believe, both members of the Brook Farm Association; an establishment or- ganized for the purpose of trying the Zribune theories in practice. So far therefore from it being singuler in them to deny that “looseness “ppon the subject of marriage,” and “lavish promiscuousness on the eubject of the family relations” are criminal, it would have been odd indeed if they bad not done 80. We are not aware to what extent the Messrs. Appleton are privy to this shamefel attempt to poiton the public mind, and to disseminate these fatal heresies among our youth. Hitherto, we are bound to say, the firm has borne a respecta- ble name; we do not remember any decidedly infidel or pernicious work among their publica- tions. But we should fail in our duty to the public if we allowed any tenderness for them to prevent our loudly warning parents and guar- Gians against the immoral and mischievous cha- racter of the new American Cyclopedia, which is now being brought out under the editorship of Charles A. Dana and George Ripley. B® Horace Greeley and Company are very busy in nosing round everything which to their eyes looks like aseatof corruption. They have made wonderful discoveries about the sale of of Fort Snelling, and live in the hope that they may have the good fortune to be noticed by the Secretary of War. They are down upon the reporters, too; Horace hae got the scent of a one dollar bill which was given to some reporter or other under very suspicious circumstances, and Horace can’t sleep till he finds out whether the reporter aforesaid sold his soul for the dollar or not. It strikes us that if Horace Greeley and Company have 60 much time and inclination for nosing round in such matters as this, they might devote an idle moment to explaining what became of the thirty thousand dollars of which they were among the recipients, which was raised to get uparevolation in Ireland; also what became of the hundred thousand dol- lars which was paid to Greeley and others for the benefit of bleeding Kansas; also what be- came of the thousand dollars which was handed to Greeley by the Desmoines Improvement Company. These are matters that will bear a good deal of raking up, and the sooner the bet- ter. Can we never get anything like an ac- count current from the Tribune ?

Wasminoron, April 39, 1558. ‘There is scarcely a doubt but that a vote will be had in tho House on the Kansas Conference to morrow. The ox: traordimary filibustering of Mosers. Garnett, Goode, Mill- son, Quitman, Bonham and Bryan, Southern mon, ia voting against the previous question, alone prevented the passage of the bill today. It will pass to morrow. It ts beloved ali the Southera mea named will vote for it, except Bonham, Bryan and Quitman; aad the latter has declared that bis vote shall not dofeat it. ‘The whole of the Ohio democratic delogation, and all (We Indiana demoorate, except Mr. Davis, support the Dill. But three of the Pounsylvania democrats will op. pose the measure. Of course It will pass the Beaate by a decided vole. We at length sce daylight, and got rid of the miserable subject. The Northera demoorats are dis- gusted with the course of some of the Southern mea. Mr. Letcher moved the adjournment to-day im conse- quence of the sickness of Judge Hopkins, who was comi- polled to leave, and wished to.record bis vote. Aseoon as tho Kansas matter is disposed of tho real ‘business of the seeston will commence. I is not proba- ble, however, that much wii! be doae before the adjourn- ment. Certainly the President is relieved of all respon- mbility, for mone of bis recommendations have beea carried out, even the Paraguay resolutions tid hanging }~ fire. Mr. Tcombs’ Bankrupt law is being actively considered by the Judiciary Committee, and it will probably be pre- sented to the Sepate carly next week. It is undorstood it ‘will be # general bill, including individuals, corporations, chartered Danks and any association of porsons authorized to iseue notes, bills, &c. It will provide for voluntary and Mvoluntary bankruptcy, and will be retroactive. The retroactive feature will be guarded ao as to exclude all who, subsequent to January Inst or any other time, have made essignmonts, in contemplation of the passage of a bankrupt law, which gave preference to one creditor over another, and the baukrupt in such cases shall not reculye a discharge unless with the consent of a majority Of bis creditors who baye not been so preferred. Tho involuntary bankruptey applies to cases where the deb's exceed two thousand dollars, and the person declared Dankrupt is entitled to trial by jury—all transfers of property of any kind, for the purpose of giving any creditor, endorser or other person any preference or priority over general creditors, to be mull and void, and the parties obtaining them to be sued for such amount as eseots of the bankruptoy, With regard to banks and Other iaguers of paper money, they are to come under the bead of involuntary baokrupts; and, in addition to all the liabilities which attach to individuals, they may be declared bankrupt for the non-payment for ten days after demand of aay bill, note or other liability—all the expenses of procecdings to be pald by the parties interested, and under no pre tense to be paid by the United States. These are the go- neral features of the bill, we believe. It isto go Iato of- fect next November tf now passoc, Under ail the circumstances , it ia exceedingly doubtful if it can pase at this session, but the general impression is iat some Dill of the obaraocter indicated will become law this Congress. The retroactive clause will meet with ‘& good deal of opposition, but if tt is well guaranteed that may be overcome. A question will also arise as to the powor of the general government to interfere with the the general government to prohibit altogether the issue of mouey by authority of any of the States. Mr. Toombs will, doubtless, call the subject up in the Seuste uext week. The object of senting Commissioners to Utah is not geverally understood. The President, from motives of bumanity, believed it to be his duty to make operations cap be commenced, no time is lost by the efforta to avert bloodshed. In case the Mormons refuse these propositions, the war will be prosecuted vigorously aa @ last resort. - ‘The special Minister of Venerucla, Dom Mariano de Bria. peno, sent here to adjust the Sheitom Aves claim, took loave of the Socretary of State today, baving been recalied by bis government; consequert'y all negotiations on the subject of the claim are suspended. Tt is understood a successor to our Minister at Vemerucia, Mr. Fames, will be nominated to the Senate shortly. Gea. Herran, the Now Granadian Minister, bas not call- ed at the State Department since the arrival of the Moses Taylor. He has pronably received no later advices from bis goverament, though he still considers the troaty will be ratified.
