The news by this arrival is four days later than previous advices, and is important, inasmuch as a ministerial crisis was pending in England, growing out of the government of India policy. Lord Ellen- borough, President of the Board of Control, had al- ready retired from office, and a motion of censure of the course of the government was to be submitted to Parliament on the 13th. Whether this would lead to a dissolution of the Cabinet was a problem about which public opinion seemed to be any- thing but unanimous. The Continental intel- ligence is unimportant. Owing to the com plexion of political affairs in England the Lon- don money market was depressed, and a decline in the funds is reported. In Liverpool cotton was steady, while other American staples fremained without material change. News from Hong Kong to the 20th of March and from Calcutta to the 9th of April had reached Lon- don. The intelligence contained nothing of special importance. We have news from Sierra Leone, west coast of Africa, to the 13th ult. Our correspondent says the United States squadron, consisting of sloops of war Cumberland, Dale and Marion, pass and touch there occasionally, and all are in good health and are a jolly set of fellows, and are proverbial for their promptness in affording aid and assistance to vessels not only bearing the American flag, but to foreigners of every description who re- uire friendly aid. The British squadron in those waters is indefatigable in its endeavors to suppress the traffic in slaves. All vessels with Spanish flags are certain to be overhauled and examined, and some American captains, who have to submit to the same ordeal, are loud in their complaints of the treatment they receive. The Melacory war contina- ed, and the English troops sent there have met with hard work and some casualties. The demand for foreign articles was slack, but it was hoped that the markets would revive for next season's trade. Ame- rican hides sold at 22 to24per Ib. Ginger and palm oil were in proportion as to price. By an arrival at this port we have news from Ma- racaibo, Venezuela, to the 4th inst. The city was tranguil, and the inhabitants were anxioxsly await- ing the arrival of Gen. Paez from the United States. Gen. Jose Gregorio Monagas, brother of the late President, together with his son Jalio, had arrived at Maracaibo, and were imprisoned in the fort at the entrance of the harbor by order of the provisional government. Ex-President Monagas remained in custody at Caracas, awaiting his trial. The particulars of two more outrages by British cruisers are reported in today's paper. The ship Clarendon was boarded in the harbor of Sagua la Grande by an officer from the steamer Buzzard, when an altercation occurred between him and the, captain of the Clarendon which at one time threat- ened serious consequences to the former. The bark Jobn Howe was boarded while on the passage from Havana to Sagua la Grande, and again boarded and in yesterday's paper, the Secretary of the Navy has issued orders to Commanders Hartstene and John Rodgers to assume command of the steamers Arctic and Water Witch, to fit them ont without delay, and if a collision should result, that the responsibility shall rest where it properly belongs—uapon the Bri- fish government, which gave the offensive orders, and the British Minister here, who is, doubtless, cog- nizant of the instructions given to their officers. In the Senate on Satarday the Chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs introduced 2 bill pro- viding for the construction of six steam sloops of war, and the House Committee will today propose the building of ten screw steam vessels, of light draft, each carrying two formidable pieces of ord- nance. It is designed to make these vessels superior in every t to the British gunboats. The feel- ing of Con is #0 strong on the subject of the outrages by the British that it is not improbable that even a larger number of vessels will be aathorized ‘than is included in either of the above propositions. Indeed, it is stated that the House Committee on Foreign Affairs intend to propose the construction of thirty new war sjeamers. The English have at this moment thirty-six war steamers, of various sizes, in course of construction. The annexed table shows the temperature of the atmosphere in this city during the past week, the range of the barometer, the variation of wind car- rents, and the state of the weather at three periods during each day, viz.: at 9 A.

The interesting advices from Washington which we published yesterday in regard to the action of the President and Congress in the matter of the British outrages, and the farther partioulars of them which reach us daily, are strong indications of the current of popular feeling. The $udden discovery that receat events have led to, of the existence of a spiteful feeling toward this country on the part of some of the oldest and most prominent statesmen in England, may yet produce very complicated political and commercial results in both coun- tries. A disclaimer of intended affront, and the usual excuse, of come over zealous officer having exceeded his instructions, can hardly be resorted to in the present instance, for there is a singular uniformity of proceeding on thewpart of several of the British cruisers off the coast of Cuba. All of them exhibit the same want of discrimi- nation of class and character of ships boarded, the same minute detail of impertinent inquiry and officious search, and the same utter disre- gard of the evident and patent legality of flag and voyage. These facts will sink deep into the American mind, and may go very far toward producing a revulsion ef that cordial and friendly feeling which has been growing up between the two countries for some time past. When the recent war in the East first became imminent, the sym- pathies of this country were heartily with the Western Powers of Europe. This feeling was suddenly curdled by a foolish state- ment of Lord Clarendon on the floor of Parliament, that the policy of the Anglo-French alliance contemplated meddling not only with the question of Turkey, but with the policy of nations in every part of the world. The American people saw behind the mask the British statesmen assumed, and though enter- taining not the slightest impulse of fear, they lent their cordial “sympathy to Russia in the Eastern war. This feeling was increased by the fiasco of Crampton in endeavoring to carry out certain instructions of Lord Palmerston in this country. When Crampton was sent home Lord Napier came out here, and by a few honeyed words, with eeeming honesty on his lips, gave a newimpulse to the natural friendship that should exist be- tween the people of America and England. One of the waifs of England’s “Resolute” spirit was found by an American seaman, derelict in the byways of the ocean, and it was sent home by an act of Congress. When a great and vir- tuous Queen trod the once frozen deck, and in her silver tones uttered a heartfelt “I thank you” toour Yankee commander as the stars and stripes slowly sank to give place to the croes of St. George over their clasped hands, every American heart felt a glow of pleasure. When the outbreak in India followed, and we saw with Saxon pride that England still was true to Saxon pleck, our hearts were with her; and as she marshalled her legions for the anti- podes we were ready to slap John Bull on the shoulder and cry out, Go it old fellow, you're a brick. When England’s hero fell a victim to disease, our flags were low- ered in honor to the name of Havelock; for, to use a homely Western phrase, “he had whipped his weight in wild cats,” or what is equivalent, Bengal tigers. Only a few crack- brained Irishmen failed to unite in this heartfelt sympathy of the whole American people. But recent events show that Palmerston still burns with hate because of his defeat on the en- listment question. He was forced to back down on that; and though the English journals main- tained s prudent silence about it, the leading circles of England shook with a quiet laugh at his discomfiture. For this, doubtless, it was that he directed Lord Napier to endeavor to stir up here the fires of sectional agitation, by renew- ing the subject of the African slave trade in his diplomatic correspondence, and gave the in- structions to a fleet of British gunboats to cruise off the coast of Cuba and harrase our shipping. Unwitting of these new orders, the eympathy of the American people was still with the people of England. When the Orsini affair came to over- tarn Palmerston, and to show him that, old as he war, he little knew how small the sympathy of England was with the crowned tyrannies of the Continent, and the acquittal of Bernard by an English jury showed that the love of liberty was still inherent and predominant in the Eng- lish mind, the American people still sympa- thised with England and rejoiced in both of these eventa. But they only add new elements to Palmerston’s rankling hate for the United States, and may yet produce evil resulta. The sudden check which this state of good feeling has experienced by the recent searches of American veasela and diplomatic movements of the British Minister, complicates exceedingly the position of the present English Premier in a political point of view, and may lead to some very curious commercial resulta. A war with Eog- land, by depriving our markets of their usual supplies of British goods, would give an impnise to the manufacturing industry of this country of the most extraordinary kind. The flush times of the war with Mexico would be nothing to it. And whether short or long in duration, the trade with England would never be built up again to its present state, while we would be ten times stronger than ever, to compete with her abroad. Even the temporary check upon our good feeling towards Great Britain must give some impetus to our manufacturers of every kind, but principally of cotton and iron. What course Lord Derby may pursue under the pressure of existing circumstances we can- not undertake to foretell. He is surrounded by difficulties on every side. If he refuses to re escind the mischief making instructions of Pal- merston, and place the position of Eagland towards the United States upon a proper footing, a war with this country will be imminent, and will certainly bring out against him all the patent and latent ferces of the commercial party in Great Britain. Should he consent to do this, Palmerston, Russell, and all the pack of hungry “oute” will endeavor to rally the Evan- NEW YORK BERALD, MONDAY, MAY 24, 1858, gelical party for his overthrow, and Exeter Hall will be again in arma. There is one course palpable and evident to us, which we pope he will adopt, and which will place the friendly relations of the two countries apon a permanent footing. Let him make every honorable amend to the government ef the United States for the malicious coarse of Palmerston towards us; and then, turning to Spain, make the immediate stopping of the slave trade in her tyrannically and despetically go- verned colony of Cuba the only alternative of immediate wer. By this latter step he will draw the fangs of the fanatical Evangelists of Exeter Hall, drive the alave trade from the ocean, sink into oblivion all pretext to exercise the right of search over our ships, make the +lavery question one of purely local and domeatio policy everywhere, remove forever all pretence for international interference in regard to it, and destroy the only irritating points of diffe- repce that now exist between America and Eng'and. In this country we look upon the English people as the only guardians of liberal and progressive ideas among the civilized nations of Europe, and their bulwark against the aggres- ceive epirit of the deepotiems of the Continent, marshalled and led on by the Empire in France. In the possible conflict that may yet break out in the Old World, English liberty will com- mand all our sympathies, and, should need be— which we much doubt—all our aid. The anti- liberal hate of Palmerston and his love of mis- chief should not be allowed to mar this entente cordiale between nations who have a common origin, a common tongue, and in truth a com- mon aim. A Taxpayer's Party—Hew to Govern the City and Save our Pockets. The taxpayers of this plundered city should remember that nine millions a year in taxes are extorted from their property, and that nearly four millions of this sum are deliberately stolen, through the wretched and utterly corrupt system of our city government. By proper manage- ment the city could be better governed than it is now for five millions, In fact, itis not govern- ed at all at the present time. We get no retarn for the immense outlay; our streets are filthy and pestiferous; our suburban roads are unfit for use; our police system is so villanous that neither life nor property is protected; fraud and corruption reign uncheoked in our public offices. And to maintain this system we are more heavily taxed in proportion to our popula- tion and property than any city in the world. The taxpayers should remember, also, that we owe all this mismanagement and rascality to the fact that the officers of the city government are politicians—are elected by a combination of rowdies and vagabonds, and gamblers and fighters, who own no property and pay no taxes, whom they use for that purpose, because the property owners, who have an interest in the good and cheap government of the city, have neglected to take any part in the elections, or to unite against this infamous political combi- nation. All parties who have had the city government in their hands—whigs, Know Nothings, black re- publicans and democrats alike—have been equal- ly corrupt. We will not say that any individual officer of the Cerporation is corrupt, because we might be indicted for a libel. They may be all as honest and ‘as pure as Mr. Busteed; but we will say that the whole system is flagrantly wicked and abominable. Yet there is an easy remedy ; and thet is by the organization of an independent party, dis- connected with all factions and cliques; by the taxpayers combining against the present mode of nominating and elocting officers, and putting faithful men at the head of all the departments, ‘There are, as appears by the tax book, 29,745 resident taxpayers in the city, besides all the corporations, banks, insurance companies, and 80 forth, which number several hundred, and of The property they represent amounts to $510,000,000, and some of them are taxed as high as $40,000 a year. Let us ena- plunderers or to rescue the city from ruin. Pourrcat Ansvrprrres or tar Day.—Of all the cant and clap trap of our Northern nigger worshipping politicians, they are guilty of nothing eo impudent and preposterous as their ridiculous outory against the “aggressions of the slave oligarchy” and “the intolerant des- potism of the slave power.” Look at the facta. At the present session of Con- gress tills will have been ‘passed directly admitting two new free States—Minnesota and Oregon—and providing for the addition of the third (Kansas) to the Northern side of the ledger. Here, then, are three new free States, and without the offset of a single new slave State, to apeak for the “aggressions” and the “intolerance” of the “slave oligarchy.” Do our nigger worshipping agitators suppose that there is neither the commonest intelligence nor a par- ticle of common sense remaining among the people of the North? One would think so; or why these impudent attempts to keep up the excitement against “the slave oligarchy,” when, with nineteen States against fifteen, and with several embryo States behind, the people of the North have all the power of the government in their hands, Sensible men, with these facts be- fore them, can only be disgusted with this effron- tery, which would attempt to frighten them with this senseless hue and cry of fools and fanatios against the “aggremions of the slave oli- garchy.” Kattocn Gort to Kansas—The Rev. Mr. Kalloch, whose extraordinary piety and asceti- ciam attracted 80 mach attention in Masaachu- setts some time since, has turned up in Kansas, where, it is said, he intends to open a law school. ht would be more appropriate for him to open a free love school ; and Kansas is just the place for . It is the Mecca of all the vagabonds in the country, and they ought all to go there at once. ‘The Nows from Utah—The Mormon Trouble not ve Near its Termination. We publish this morning several letters from our correspond nt at Fort Bridger, giving the latest and mos: reliable intelligence from that quarter. It will be seen, from the information thus conveyed, that the Utah @ifficulty is not -wearing quite so satisfactory an aspect as the previous accounts seemed to impart to it. It is true that Governor Cumming was on his way to Salt Lake City, but the oiroumstances under which he undertook this step do not justify the expectation that it will in any way advance the objects of the expedition. It should be borne in mind that Brigham Young has always declared that General John- ston’s force aball never be permitted to enter their city. Now, notwithstanding the statements that have reached us of the alarm under which the Mormon leaders are said to be laboring, and of the resignation or intended resignation of Brigham himeelf, the efforts that have been made to induce Governor Cumming to trust himself unattended in their hands looks to us more like a determi- nation on the part of the Saints to maintain their position than to back out of it in the way which they are said to contemplate, Had they been dieposed te make such « submission as the federal authorities are alone instructed to ac- cept, they had an opportunity of opening nego- tiations through Colonel Kane during his stay in Salt Lake City. But it is well known that Colonel Kane could effect notbing by his per- sonal influence with Brigham Young, and that he left Salt Lake under strong feelings of dis- appointment. He neverthelessdid not abandon bis task of mediator, for again we find him at Fort Bridger, endeavoring to bring about con- cessions on the part of the federal authorities which might lead toa compromise of some kind. Now, the mission of Colenel Kane has always been enigmatical to us. He is by some supposed to be armed with semi-official instructions from the President, but we are quite sure that he bears no official character of any kind. The only explanation that has been offered of his interference is that he has lived among the Mormons, is favorably regarded by them, and entertains the most friendly feelings towards them. These facts, however they may qualify him to counsel these misguided men for their own benefit, are not altogether of a character to render him a safe adviser, under present circumstances, to the federal authorities, whose course is decisively marked out by their instructions. It will be recollected that when the United States army firet eatablished itself at Fort Bridger, an invi- tation was cent to Governor Cumming to enter Salt Lake City unattended by a military force. That invitation was very properly declined, be- cause Brigham Young and his followers had no right to dictate the manner in whioh the United States representatives should proceed. They stood in the position of rebels, and they could only expect to be treated with the rigorous forms that are prescribed in such cases. From the facts stated by our correspondent it appears that Governor Cumming has been in- duced to reconsider the policy of his first deci- sion solely through the persuasion of Colonel Kane. In this he would seem to have dissented from the opinion of his military colleague, General Johnston, whe, true to his principles asa soldicr, refused to cencur in any steps that might be looked upon as a departure from his instructions. He even declined, it is stated, to grant the Governor a military escort, declaring that no soldier under his command should enter Salt Lake City unless accompanied by the whole army. And so Governor Cumming, acting under amateur advice, or on his own indepen- dent judgment, departed on his journey, trust- ing himself to the protection of a Danite escort, commanded by notorious man named Porter Rockwell, who, according to the description which we copy from the St. Louis Republican, is capable of any crime. We own that we entirely agree with the view that has been taken by General Johnston of this step. We cannot see any possible advan- tage that can arise from it, saving to Brigham Young and his confederates. The object of the latter was evidently not to comply with the conditions of the government, bat to impress upon the mind of Governor Cumming sach « conviction of their strength and anbounded in- fluence over their followers as would induce him to modify those conditions, With this ob- ject, as he was to arrive on the Sabbath, he would no doubt be taken to the temple, where & demonstration would of course be prepared to tatisfy him of the attachment of the Mormon people to their creed and to the persons of their elders. This done, all that Brigham desired to effect by the Governor's presence would be ac- complished. That these speculations are not devoid of probability will be seen from the de- claration made by Young to Mr. Gilbert, that “if the army would give the Mormons time they would leave, but if not he would send them to hell ‘cross lots.” What strengthens our idea that the Mormons have determined to show fight unless they can obtain their own terms, is the fact that they are adopting the usual precaution of desperate men—of placing their women and children in safety. Large convoys of these have been met on their way to the White River Mountains, but there were no evidences that the male adults were soon to follow. It is the suspicious aspect of this movement that has probably decided General Johnston to continue the cautioas but sued. We regret that his civil colleagues have not acted with the same reserve and _They appear to be proceeding, not only without his co-operation, but without concurrence amongst themselves. Thus, whilst Governor Camming has gone to Salt Lake City, to endeavor to patch up matters with Brigham Young, Dr. Forney, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, has started for Yellow Creek, to make some sort of treaty with the Indiana. This docs not seem to us exactly the way in which the power of the federal government is to be impressed on the minds of the rebela When matters have arrived at the point at which they now stand, we prefer the sterner and more direct course of military diplomacy. Apvertisve Lorrertes—Is rr Leoat.or Nor? —Should not the Mayor and his equad be in- dicted for advertising the Georgia lotteries? They have certainly given to them a far wider publicity than they have ever had before, or which they could have obtained by any other means, and the effect will doubtless be a great increase in the sale of tickets and correspond- ing profit to the lottery men. But before in. dicting the Mayor for advertising lotteries con- trary to law, it might be well enough to inquire whether, under the constitution of the United States, any action of the kind could be sustained. The several State lotteries are legal, and the energetic tactics that he has previously par- |- publication of facts connected with legal busi- pees in one State cannot be punished in a steter State. We do not believe that the Legisiatare of any State hes authority to make the publica- tion of the advertisements of a lottery legal- ized by another State a criminal offence, whe- ther the business itself is illegal in the State where the newspaper is published or not. Waar Say run Taxravarst—Rerorm on No Rerormt—The taxpayers of the metropolis can bring about a policy of reform and retrench- ment in our city government, if they will. But to do the work they must strike at the roots of the diseased tree. The democratic party, the republican party, the Kuaow Nothing party, have all become too deeply cor- rupted end demoralized by confederate spoilamen, rogues and ruffians to be trusted any longer. A new system of government oan only be enforced through the medium of a new and independent party, and our taxpayers are the men to organize such « party. They have the wealth, they have the men, they have all the needful resources for the organization of an all- powerful party, and they can, if they will, or- ganize a party of this sort without the slight- eat difficulty. Will nobody lead off in this movement? Isit nothing to our taxpayers that the city’s collections from their pockets should |’ be cut down from ten millions to five or six mil- lions a year? What say the taxpayers? Even 8 little meeting will put the ball in motion, and apy respectable citizen in such a case can at least organize a little meeting to break the ground. We hope to hear that some one of our Dumerous taxpaying readers have taken the hint, and is fully prepared to enter upon the good work. Let him try it, and we will soon have a powerful people’s party in the field. Cuartes Sfiver Gone to Evrore—Charles Sumner, the Massachusetts Senator, who is somewhat distinguished for lence of his anti-slavery opinions, has sailed again for Europe, leaving only his empty chair to represent half his State in the Senate. Without doubt the empty chair will be quite as eloquent in the cause as its owner. At least it will be civil, and refrain from using violent language to stir up the chivalry of South Carolina. How the people of Massachusetts will like to be represented by an empty chair is another matter. THE LATEST NEWS. Our Special Washingten Dispatch.
