The News. ‘The steamship Europa which left Liverpool on the afternoon of the 24'h ult., reached Halifax yes- terday morning, and the Ariel, from Southampton ‘Zlst ult., arrived at this port during the afternoon. We have by these arrivals three days later news from Europe, and later intelligence from India, Mauritius, South America, the Cape of Good Hope and the West Coast of Africa. The Liverpool cotton market was flim when the Europa left, and 88,000 bales had been sold during the week preceding. An advance of a quarter of a penny on the prices quoted on the 17th had taken place on fair and middling qualities, and other descriptions had appreciated correspondingly. Flour was dull, but corn had slightly advanced in price. Consols closed in London on the 23d at 96j a 96]—an im- provement. There was no change of importance in the money market or in American securities. The New York and Liverpool packet ship Forest ‘Queen was found abandoned at sea by au English vessel, and a crew put on board of her to navigate her to the nearest port. The destruction of the steamship Cortes, of New Bedford, by fire, at Cape Crasade, ls reported. The officers and crew were all saved. The Foglish government had withdrawn all the barges remaining on record against Dr. Bernard and retired from the prosecution. An impressive scene took place in court when he was acquitted on the murder trial, aud the jury were loudly cheered when going to tneir homes. The verdict is appland ed by the largest portion of the British press; but the result produced an astounding sensation in Paris. A more extended report of Mr. Disraeli’s speech on proposing the English budget in the Commons is given. It will be seen that he thinks the effects of the late financial crisis have not yet passed away from England. Count Cavour made a remarkable speech in the Sardinian Chambers when in debate on the Conspi racy bill, saying that the Piedmontese government well know that its policy displeased certain Powers which were interested in maintaining the slavery ct Italy, and he considered it as indispensable that Pied- mont should keep up good and strong alliances. The Atlantic telegraph cable was being shipped rapidly on board the Niagara and Agamemon. The advices from South America are dated at Buenos Ayres 4th, Montevideo 7th, Rio Janeiro 17th, Bahia 21st and Pernumbuco 24th ult. The news of the settlement of the political complications exist- ing between the governments of Paraguay, Brazil and France is confirmed, and hopes were expressed that the differences of the United States and Para guay would also be adjusted amicably. Colonel Granada, of Buenos Ayres, had defeated seven buan- dred Indians near Carubué, and the savages fled ian great disorder. The money claims of England against Buenos Ayres were to be settled by a joint commission. Montevideo was quiet. Trade was generally dull. Coffee had slight), »dvanced at Rio, bot the quality was very inferior. Sugars were firm at Bahia, but remained heavy at Pernambuco, with an accumulating stock. At the Cape of Good Hope the enlistment of Kaf- firs for service in India was proceeding slowly. The Batives were again at war. Account from the west coast of Africa report the departare of Dr. Livingstone, the explorer, for the Cape of Good Hope. Trade was dail. At Singapore, E.1., on the 6th alt.. gold dast rated—Malayan $29 50, and Australian $5) a $31 60 per bunkal. At Turks Islands on the 26th alt. the weather was fine, and favorable for salt making, although the stock on hand did not exceed 5,000 bushels, which commanded readily 10c. per bushel. Provisions and vegetables were much wanted. The Board of Supervisors met yesterday. The proposition to provide a mounted police was laid over till Tuesday next. The Corporation Connsel advised the Board that it may pay any bill legally chargeable against the city, incurred during the year 1967, even though the appropriation for that year for county expenses should be exhausted, and notwithstanding the particuiar amount claimed should not be incladed in the tax levy for 1958 un- der the bead of “arrears;” provided at the time there shail have been a previous appropriation of the amount so to be drawn, and an amount in the treasury sufficient therefor applicable to such pay ment The Aldermanic Committee on Railroads met yes- terday, but as no parties interested in any subject connected with the railroad interest appeared before them, they adjourned till Thursday next. The Board of Almshouse Governors met yester day. From the reports of the Wardens it seems there are 7,202 persons now under the care of the Governors, being © decrease of 157 since last week, bat an increase of 1,103 as compared with last year. The fine weather is depleting the institutions Tapidly. Wm. 8. Duke, the confidential clerk of the Governors, notified the Board that he still consider. e4 himself in office, only five votes having been cast for hia removal. Whereupon, on motion, the pre. vious action of the Board was confirmed by « vote of nix to two, and #0 Mr. Duke is no longer in the em. Ploy of the Board. The daties heretofore performed by the confidential clerk will hereafter be divided Letweea the Gecretary of the Board and the Sapply Clerk, each of whom will recoive $2,900 per year therefor. Congress commenced basineas in earnest yester- day. In the Senate the bill introduced by Mr. John- son, of Tennessee, respecting the public printing, was passed without opposition. Its author said the bill would save @ million of dollars annually, be- sides imposing checks on extravagance and plunder hereafter; but aa it retains the contract feature, we may reasonably entertain a donbt as to this antici- pation being realized. Mr. Johnson will shortly bring in a proposition to print only so many extra copies of documents as will allow one to be seat to the archives of each county and one to each incorporated college, with the view to the formation of political libraries for public use. Mr. Clay delivered a speech explaining his bill providing for the repeal of the fishing bounties. The papers relating to the outrage upon American missionaries at Jaifa were sent in by the President, and ordered to be printed. The Paraguay resolution was taken up,,and an amend- ment striking out the clause authorizing the Presi- dent to employ force in bringing the Paraguans to terms having been adopted, by a vote of 31 to 19, the subject was, on motion of Mr. Mason, laid on the table. In the House the Paraguay resolution was report- ed by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, as was also aresolution urging the speedy abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The last mentioned resolu tion will be taken up to-day for debate. The Senate bill providing for the admission of Minnesota was taken up, and a discussion as to the legality of the proceedings of the Minnesota Constitutional Conven tion, and the repre:cntation in Congreas to which the new State is untitled, was commenced, but it gradually passed into a dispute of a somewhat per- sonal character between the republicans and the an- ti-Lecompton democrats, respecting the couse of the latter on the Kansas bill. Mayor Tiemann has called a meeting ou Thuraday next, at one o'clock, at his office, of all the heads of the various city departments, to take into considera- tion matters appertaining to tho interests of the city. Tis purpose is that they shall all work together te carry out more fully the laws of the city, and that they can all have the necessary aid if required from each other. The Mayor proposes to continue these meetings weekly, and that on each day of meeting a brief statement be submitted from each department of the business transacted, for publication. The Broadway Railroad iaw case came up in the Supreme Court, general term, before Judges Davies, Ingraham and Sutherland, yesterday, upon an ap- penl from @ judgment at special term perpetually enjoining certain parties from constructing a rail- road in the thoroughfare above mentioned. The care was argued by counselonm both sides, and the Judges will doubtless render their decision at an early day. The regular monthly meeting of the New York Historical Society took place last evening in the library of the association. A paper of considerable interest was read by Col. Thomas F. De Voe, on the “History of the Markets of New York.” The at- tendance was larger than usual, and the paper was received with much applause. The examination in the case of Mr. William Fui- ler, charged with endeavoring to negotiate a forged draft on the Post Office Department for $5,000, was commenced yesterday before Commissioner George F. Betts. Mr. Joseph Reeside, the son of the alleged drawer of the draft, testified that the signature of his father was not genuine, On cross-examination he said he knew that his father had given Mr. Fuller a draft for $5,000, and had the receipt of Mr. Fuller in his possession. st Jn the Court of General Sessions yesterday, Chas. Henry was tried and convicted of grand larceny, having stolen a diamond breastpin valued at $185 from the store of Tiffany & Co. Judge Russell sent him to the State prison for three years. John Sheri- dan was convicted of robbery in the first degree, having assaulted George Crowell on the 29th ult. and abstracted $20 from his person: State prison ten years. Frederick Nowlan, jointly indicted with four other men, (two of whom were disposed of las term,) was convicted of burglary in the third degree. Simon Pinner’s clothing store was broken into on the night of the 11th of April, and a large quantity of goods stolen, » portion of which was traced to the prisoner's possession. His Honor sent Nowlan to the State prison for five years. This man was par- doned a short time since by Governor King. Conrad Gengler was tried and acquitted of the same charge The European nows received yesterday by the Enropa tended stil farther to stiffen the market for cotton. The sales embraced about 3,000 bales, on the basis of mid dling uplands at abdovt 124. a 12%. The deficiency in tbe receipts at the Goulberp ports, compared with the game period last year, has beea reduced to about 49,000 bales. The increase of exports to Great Britain hes reacbed 40,000 bales. The decrease to France 39,000 Dales, and to other forcign ports to 86,000—showing a total decrease to all foreign ports, compared with last year, of 20,000 baice. The four market exhioited less sulmetion and activity yesterday, and inferior and com- mon grades of State and Western brands were again lower. Canadian flour was in larger sappiy and prices heavy, Southern brands were in good demand and prices unchanged. The aggregate sales were toa fair ex ont, including some lote for export. Whoat was about three cents per bushel lower, while the alos were fair. Corn, under the Europa’s news, was firme! 8 Tae. & $15 60, and prime $14 756 $15. Sugars were inactive the sales having been confined to about 800 bhds. « prices given inanother colama. Rio coffee was dali; 1,100 dage Laguira wore sold at 114¢c., and 200 do, St. Domingo Pork was lower, with sales of moss a} $19 a $18 25 at&\e. The stock, including 12,220 bags Rio and Santos, amounted to 41,241 bags. Freighta were again firmor and higher.

The from Europe. ‘Tb rerdict in the Bernard case has, it appears, dic’ 1 the Englieu government not to take any fu .cor steps la the French conspiracy proseou- tious, This was to be expected. The rote | which, in the House of Commons, led to the re- call of Lord Derby and his colleagues sufficiently indicated the temper of the public raind in Eng- land ia regard to these indictments. That fact and the result of Dr. Bernard’s trial prove an mistakeably that no government that exhibits & disposition to truckle to the dictation of France will be permitted to retain power for apy length of time. The English tories are not as pig headed and bigotted as they are commonly represented to be. They havea keem eye to their own inte- reste, and they are not devoid of national spirit. It must never be forgotten that most of the im- portant concessions made to the popular de- mands in England have been made hy tory ad. ministrations, Neither must it be omitted from the records of their merits that it was a tory government—that which again holds the reias of power—which recognized the justice and ex- pediency of conceding to this country the prac- tical application of the principles enunciated in the Monroe doctrine. It Lord Derby and his associates will only take the cue of their French policy from the lesson administered to them by the Bernard verdict, and at the same time follow up the de clarations which they formerly made in refe- rence to the political destiny of this country, they will strengthen immensely the position of England vie-a-vis of the Continental govern- mente, and render themsel moet popular administration that has ever power in Eng- land. There is no qualifying the fact that the Ber. nard verdict ie a severe but well morited slap in the face to Louis Napoleon. If he is as prac- tleal ae we take him to be, he will pocket the affront and say nothing farther about it. Whe- ther he pursues this sensible course or not, it is evident that the Derby administration only coa- sult the general feeling of the coantry in giving eflect to that verdict, by dropping all further proceedings against the incriminated parties. Should the French government quarrel with them for that, decision, they may count upon being supported by the nation at large. Thus impelled and fortified, they have acted wisely in preferring the course marked out for them by public opinion to the peraonal and unpatriotic policy which wrecked the Ministry of Lord Pal- merston. The only other features of interest in the European news are the advances reported in consols and cotton. The first of these indicates that « firm policy in regard to France is as muck ta favor with tho moncyed classesin Eag- land as itis with the nation generally. The second holds out the prospect that the injury to our cotton crop, caused by the late frosts, will lead to a good deal of disturbance and specu- lation in this, the most important of our sta- ples. MexicaN AFPAIRS—AMERICAN INTERVENTION. —The carefully prepared and authentic report on Mexican affairs which we yesterday laid be- fore our readers, has appeared opportunely to dispel the mit of error and misrepresentation which has been raised by the agents of the Mexican factions in this country. Were wo to trust entirely to the statements of the latter we would be involved in such a chaos of contra- dictions that {t would be impossible to follow with any degree of accuracy the track of Mexi- can politics, All the parties now contending for power in that republic have their paid emis- earies in the principal cities of the Union, each instructed to mislead the public mind here, in order to further their particular viewa. We do not know whether we are entitled to class amongst these diplomatic perversions of fact the statements which from time to time appear over the signatures of Mexican statesmen. When we come to compare them with the in- formation derived from our own correspondents, it but too frequently happens that the dis- crepancies between them are wholly irrecon- cilable. A remarkable illustration of this is to be found in the letter which sppears in our columns from our correspondent at New Orleans. It will be recollected that a few weeks since we published a letter from Gen, Comonfort denying in the most poritive terms that he was in any way mixed np with the fili- bustering projects against Mexico, which wero stated to be maturing in New Orleaas. In order that there may be no misunderstanding asto the terma in which this disclaimer was made, we republish the General’s letter:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE NW YORK HWRALD. New Onceans, April 9, 1853. In. a pumber of your extwomed paper cirresponding to the 36th of March last, I have just seen an articia beaded “Mexico apd cur with Moxico,” aa well as a copy of a letter in which certain projects are attributed to me in regard to Mezico, in connection with Mr. Walker and several other persons. Hitherto I have abstained to answer any of the articies pubushed in several ne of my country and of this republic, oven when to my name; bat the made against me iu the above named ar- tiele of the Hana. bas @ character of such ox! importance that [am not permitted to pass it by 1 must, therefore, deciareto you, in most positive terms, that » complete inaccuracy exiata in the information given to you; that I Inow neither Mr. Walker nor any of the pervons mentioned; that I am entirely ignorant of their ‘intentions, aud that no ene bas made the offence of epraking to we of projects aad arraagemeats ia which no mas of my principles can take part. Ca aioe, te onecems had tea hope that the enlightened press country pot cause sentiments of sorrow to be mixed up in my mind wih the gratitude [owe the American peopie for the frank bosphaity which | have found amorgat them ‘Be kind encugh, Mr. Editor, to publish this khort mani festation tm your paper, and Delieve me to remain, most respectfully, your obedient servant, 1 COMUNFORE. It will be observed that in the above General Comonfort avere that he was not only ignorant of the designs imputed to Walker, bat that he was not even pereonally acquainted with the latter, or with any of the persons mentioned in connection with these projects. In the letter which we publish this morning, it will be seen that it is as positivcly asserted | that after bis arrival in that city General | Comonfort sought out Walker, and had several conferences with him. The report that these interviews bad taken place was, it is stated, as notorious in Mexico as it wasin New Orleans. is not for us to undertake to reconcile these contradictions. Their actual importance amounts to little, seeing that Walker declares that he will have nothing to do with Mexico or her affairs. If we are to credit the statement of our correspondent, however—end he is in gene- ral trustworthy—Comonfort’s plan of opera. tions was as filibuster in its churacter as any project of the sort could be. His idea, it ap- pears, wasto induce Generals La Liave and Zemora, the Vera Cruz leaders, to give him | a grant of land in that State for five thousand | military colonists, who were to accompany him back to Mexico, on their formal invilation, to assist him in re-establishing himeelf in the Pre- sidency. A former agent of Walker's was, it is i etated, employed to conduct this negotiation, which failed through the refusal of Zamora to use foreign aid in settling the questions at present at issue in the republic. It will be seen by the came letter that offers of a similar character made to Vidaurri by | General Henningsen, and having for object the ‘tablishment of the Sierra Madre republic, have | also been rejected. All these facts confirm the | opinion to which we gave expression yesterday, that if American interference is to be-entertain- | ed at all by the Mexicans, it will only be under | | the guarantee of a convention between the two governments, deliberately considered and en- tered into, and fortified by the common consent and approval of the people of the two coun- tries. Howons to Orsust is Catcago..—Those wo- fortunate martyrs to liberty, Orsini and Pierri, who, in the failure of their attempt to blow off | the heads of Louis Napoleon and the Empress, | lost their own, are getting a very Uberal share of glory on this side the Atlantic from both red and black republicans. The fa- neral pageant of Orsini and company in this city was more imposing than anything of the kind in honor of any other vagabond since that formidable turn out of rowdies and foolish people in honor of that lamented ruffian Bill Poole, The Parisian tyran- nicides have since had an ovation in Boston, in which there was no lack of sympathy from Lloyd Garrison and the abolitionista. Now we perceive that the contagion has spread to Chicago, and as the red and black republican advocates of imperial assassination are doubt- lees pretty well mixed together there, they may be expected to make a formidable show against the French usurper. Tt is, in this connection, a singular fact, that in these ferocious Orsini demonstrations, our slavery hating nigger worshippers should be foremost among the apologists of deliberate and indiecriminate murder in view of the death of an offensive ruler, It is, therefore, » good thing that Garrison and all his ungodly abolition orew are arrant cowards, mere barking dogs tbat never bite, or we might voxt expect tohear of the explosion of some infernal machine among a group of men, women aad ohildrea in the streets of Washington. Tue OverLany Rovrs—Dvury or Conaress.— The folly of that enormous and ut ‘erly imprao- ticable lobby job, the Pacific railroad project, should not prevent Congress from providing at once those means of overland communication which are practicable, and which the necessities of the country require. Before the adjoarn- ment of the present session Congress should provide for at least one good overinnd wagon route, with a telegraphic line alonyside, and with the military, the watering and the feeding stations, and the camels, accordiug to the plan we have indicated heretofore. Impracticable and monstrous lobby jobs are one thing; but useful and indispensable acta of Jegislation are quite another thing. We trust tbat in both honscs of Congress the urgent necessities for this over- land wagon road will result, before the expira- tion of this session, in a liberal appropriation, resting upon a broad and libera! p!«n, for at least one overland highway, safe wad conve- nient, from the Mississippi river to Saa Fran- Joan Van Boren snp GREELEY ON THE Question or THE Sroms.—Read the amiable letter of John Van Buren to Greeley, in another column, in reference to the division of the spoils under Mayor Tiemann. Witb the spoils on his side of the house, Jobn bas clearly the best of the argument. He says that when the republicans and Know Nothings go to old Tam- many for a candidate, they must trust to luck. That's fair; and if Mayor Tiemano bas proved to be another Captain Tyler ov a smauil scale, the disappointed parties electing him have ouly themselyea to blame. He cannot be held re- sponsible for what was not in the bill THE LATEST NEWS. INTERESTING FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
