Mrwsreeis— Brsern einen in Daxsas, Dussera Dass New York, Saturday, Jane 1, 1656, ‘The News. ‘The trial of Cancemi, charged with the murder of Policeman Anderson, was concluded yesterday, but up to alate hour last night the jury had not agreed upon 8 verdict. ‘The trial of Daniel Cunningham, charged with the marder of Patrick McLaughlin in Howard street, was continned yesterday in the Court of General Sessions. Tour witnesses of the transaction testified yesterday, and the fursher hearing of the case was postponed till Monday. The court room was crowded by the leading members of the faney, who exhibit much interest in the progress of the case. Martin Dowd, tried for the murder of John Dooley, and convicted of manslaughter in the second de- gree, was yesterday sentenced by the Recorder to seven years imprisonment in the State prison, the extreme penalty of the law. Patrick Lally, who was tried in the Kings County Court of Oyer and Terminer upon charge of the murder of George H. Simonsen, and who was con- victed of manslaughter in the second degree, was yesterday sentenced to the State prison for the term of five years. George McGahey, impleaded with Lally, under the advice of counsel, pleaded guilty of manslaughter in the fourth degree, and was son- tenced to the State prison for two years. Joseph J. Mellon, the third party, was discharged, the District Attorney stating that it appeared to him he had acted as a peacemaker throughout the affair, and he therefore entered a nolle prosequi. There was an immense throng of people around the Hall, among them the “ Forty Acre” crowd in full farce. In the Superior Court Judge Pierrepoint has ren- dered a decision granting a new trial in the case of Nesmith and others against the Cliaton lasurance Company. Tbe cause was tried in January and February last, and was reported at the time. The action was brought to recever upon one of thirteen policies of insurance on the ship Achorn, of Waldo- boro’, Maine—each for the sum of $5,000—and re- Sulted in favor of the plaintiffs. A motion was sub- | sequently made before Judge Pierrepoint for a new trial, on the ground that one of the jurors had been tampered with during the progress of the trial. The interference complained of was not by the plain- tiffs, and there is no evidence that they knew of it ‘at the time or promoted it any manner; but as it | appears that a juror had been improperly spoken to by another party, the Judge con¢ludes Ly remarking, that av he cannot say that the communication com- plained of may have not influenced the jury, the verdict must be set aside and now trial ordered, with costs to abide the event. At @ meeting of the Commissioners of Health yes- terday, the subject of a hog nuisance in some streets of the upper parts of the Sixth and Seventh avenues, occupied the attention of the oard, and resolutions were passed authorizing the City Inspector to abate the nuisance to the public health by seizing and im- pounding all swine from the lst ef July next. A letter from Secretary Toucey, stating that orders had been given for the disinfecting of the sicam frigate Susquehanna, was also received. ‘There was no meeting of the Excise Commission- ers yesterday, for want of a quorum. The counsel of Nathaniel Bloodgood, of No. 4 Pine street, pre- sented a storekeeper’s license on behalf of his client, but as there was no seasion of the commis sioners no action could be taken regarding it. The Board stands adjourned till this afternoon. ‘The great eruption of Mount Vesuvius, noticed in the Vanderbilt's news, appears to have been fore- boding since May Inst. We publish elsewhere a very interesting article from the London Times, giving s description of the commencement of the eruption, by an eye-witness, who at the time of writing predicted a severe disaster. There has been no flow of lava since 1855, the upper mountain having been very quiet for some time. The first and most dreadful eruption of Vesuvius was in the year 79, when Pompeii and Herculaneum were baried in the borning lava, and more than a quarter of a million of homan beings perished. In 1631 the town of Torre del Greeco, then having four thousand inhabitants, was entirely destroyed, together with much of the surrounding country. There were also terrible eruptions in 1759, 1767, and in 1794, making the thirty-fifth since the time Pompeii was buried, and the second time that Torre del Greceo was burned. At this time the top of the mountain fell in, leaving the crater nearly two miles in circumference. There have been several eruptions since, but none of the magnitude of the present, details of which will be published when we receive the mails of the Van- derbilt. KE The pilot boat W. J.

Other thousands were ready to fol- low as soon as the gold accounts were confirm ed. If there fare well it may be expected that the next year will see a rach from Barope to that region such as was witnesed after the gold discoveries in Califo: The consequences may be actually revolutionary in character. There is @ country théte which in point of climate, roll, resources and commercial adapta- tion will compare with any State of the Union.

If the people were there, the well known. sagacity of the British goveroment would soon establish a railrosd through Britich territory to the Pacific; while we were discussing the rela-- tive merits of our routes, they would build theirs, What effect would be produced on the destt- nies of the Pacific States and indeed of the whole Union by the establishment of a power- fal British colony at and around Vancouver's island, commanding the only coal depots on the Pacific, and the only military railroad route across the continent, it well behooves the states- men of this country to consider. Our Minicter and the Struggie tn Mextoo— Santa Anna Again Up for Office. Our advices from Mexico, which will be found elsewhere, are of the most interesting character, comprising as they do correspondence from the seat of both governments in that republic, and a new manifiésto from Santa Anna. ‘The most important point in the news is the position taken by our Minister, Mr. Forsyth, against the imposition of a forced loan by President Zuloaga upon the American citizens traneacting business in Mexico. Whatever view President Zuloaga and his Ministers in Mexico, or Sefior Robles, the Mexican representative in Washington, may take of this question, Mr. Forsyth is undoubtedly right, and should be at once sustained by our government. It is nota tax, in the usual sense of that term, laid for the raising of revenue, but is a forced contribution, which the government itself proposes to return to the contributor in the shape of stock in a national bank—the contributions going to form the capital. Such a course on the part of aay government is not only unusual, but is very reprehensible—the more so when from the manner of its collection it is made to weigh more heavily upon foreigners than upon native citizens, as detailed by one of our correspondents. There are also reasons of high policy why our government should sustain Mr. Forsyth in the important position he bas taken toward the course of the Mexican government. If he is promptly and openly sustained in this, it will augment the inflaence of our Legation in Mexi- co, and establish the reputation of our govera- ment for being influenced by a sense of right. It will also have a good effect upon many of our collateral questions with Spanish-American governments, It has been altogether too much the custom of our State Department to leave our Ministers and other diplomatic and consu- lar officers abroad without support of any kind from home; and this has had a powerful effect in depressing the influence of our legations, and discouraging our ministers, particularly in Spanish-America. Moreover, if Mr. Forsyth is now sustained as he should be by his govern- ment, that fact of itself will go far to protect all foreign residents in Mexico, and restrain that government in some degree from the destructive courses which it seems disposed to take. The address of Santa Anna to his country- men is both an excuse for not presenting him- eelf at once within the territories of the repub- lic and an attempt to get his countrymen to recall him. In this effort he praises himself and justifies his pest acts with a boldness of aseertion that is almost without parallel. We shall not under- take even to deny his numerous statements; but there is one concerning the proceedings of the American army in Mexico which requires a de- nial. {tis not true that the American forces took from his estate a large number of horses and killed many cattle. We have good reason for stating that when Gen. Scott was in want of transportation for the advance from Vera Cruz he purchased a large number of horses and mules, and that one of the principal sellers was the agent of Santa Anna, who received the full value of every animal delivered to the ar- my. If we may estimate the truth of Santa Anna’s other assertions in his address by this one, his statements will not be very convincing. We cannot see, in the present state of affairs in Mexico, that Santa Anna has any chance of being recaHed there, or that any party has eufficient strength to keep him out if he were to make a hold and determined effort to getin. Alt? parties seem to be involved and debilitated in the one great struggle that is going on there, and that will go on toa final triumph. This is the struggle of the people with an overgrown ecclesiastical monopoly, which weighs down the energies of the country, grasps at all power, and aims to control every thought. Mexico can never ad- vance, or even obtain peace, till the vast pos- sessions of the charch are taken away from it and it is reduced to the level of other aseocia- tions in the community. Bishop Mangrira may quote Caleb Cushing's lecture to the contrary notwithstandiag, but the power of a few priest- ly corporations over two-thirds of the material wealth of the republic is the great cause of the present evils of Mexico, and Caleb Cushing shows himself to be a shallow philosopher in uot re- cognizing the fact. ‘The priests of Mexico are either the plotters of every conspiracy there, or the objects at which every popular revolution aims. When | they get in power their insatiate greed and op- pression forces the people into rebellion ; when they are thrust out, they are ever plotting to get back. The republic will see no peace nor freedom until it imitates the example of France under the Directory, and England under Henry VIIL Both of these countries were in continual trouble until the possessions of the clergy were confiscated to the State: and from that time they date their trae progressive march. Could the “three thousand clergymen” get the upper hand here they would soon break up our Unionin a bloodier revolution than has ever been witneseed in Mexico. Fortunately, the battle with the priests was fought here long before our Revolution. They never were allowed to attain the immense influence that is wielded by the clergy in Mexico; but yet at one ime their power was strong enough to be dan- gerous, The first battle ever fought, the first victory ever won by the glowing eloquence of Patrick Henry, was the battle of the people against the parsons in Virginia. Mexico is now engaged in this last struggle against the church, and it willendure until the church is over. thrown, be ita month, a year or a century. Santa Anna is an obsolete idea; he belongs to the past, and neither comprehends the present nor the signs of the fature. If he suceceds in his present attempt to regain power in Mexico, it will be only for a few months, and then ke Inay not be so fortanate as heretofore in getting out of the country. Our private advices from the capital are unanimous in anticipating an early overthrow of the Zaloaga government, but no twe of them agree in opinion as to what or who will proba. iy euceced him ‘ Pors Bexousn on THE Cuxvanmn Wene -- Pope Heury Ward Beecher, of the Independent eracefully throws the mautle ef Christiau cbs rity end brotherly love over tbe shoulders «° the Chevalier Webb, and it fits him like a new ebirt. Speaking of the Cuurier and Baquirer Father Beecher says:—“It has outlived its ol? repvtation for venslity and servility to Soutb- ern demagoguism, and bag attained a positien of high respectability and conservative morality.” But bow has it ‘outlived its old reputation for venality?”’ Has the Chevalier Webb really become a saint in these latter days? No; bu he bas “outlived his old reputation for venali- ty” simply because banks, spequlatore, stock- jobbers sud Jobbyjobbers have discovered that his eervices don’t begin to pay expenses. That's all. Take, for example, the late Congressious! “free wool” investigation. The Chevalier Webb scented out, somebow or other, that Lawrence. Stone & Ce. hed set apart a large “free wool” fund for lobby purposes. And did the Chevalier wait to be cailed on? Nota bit of it. Le put in his bid—he filed his petition with Mr. Stone for alarge élice of this lobby fund. The Cheva- lier was going to Washington—he was going to take a house there for the seasion—he was going to cut a large figure there in the lobby—he was in favor of “free wool”—and if Lawrence, Stone & Co. would only advance the cash for the house rent, the fish, the oysters, turkeys, chickens, roast beef, venison, wines, bran- dies, segars, confectionary, music, Xc., the Chevalier Webb would give a succession of splendid lobby entertainments, for the express purpore of convincing members of Congress of the wisdom of a “free wool” policy. But here the Chevalier Webb “outlived his old reputa- tion for venality” simply because Lawrence, Stone & Co. bad “no money to dispose of iu that way.” Ovherwise he would have given them, most likely, a specimen of venality to the tune of at least fifty-two thousand dollars for his “free wool” lobby services, But Pope Beecher says that having “outlived his old reputation for venality,” the Chevatier’s “improvement is largely due to the infusion into his columns of a positive sympathy with human freedom.” That mcans Uncle Tom, or nigger eympathy of the nigger worshipping school. But we suspect that if the Chovalier Webb were to inherit from some benevoleat slaveholder the bequest of a dozen “likely ne- groee,” his “positive sympathy with human freedom” would evon be illustrated in the sim- Ple process of the conversion of said negrocs into hard cash, whereby his “positive sympathy” for good eating and drinking might be satisfied. The stomech of the Chevalier is the ultimatum of all his sympathies for banke, bankrupt laws, “free wool,” “human freedom” and eve- ry thing clse; yea, verily, all varicties of fish, flesh and fowl, principles and sympa- thies, with the Chevalier Webb finally settle down into his stomach. It is a very great thing for a man with such 4 stomach to outlive his “old reputation for venality,” Best of all, however, Pope Beecher says that “it affords us much satisfaction to state that one of the two morning journals of com- merce in this city, can safely be read in Christian families.” There is some comfort in this assur- ance; and we may add another, to wit: that so long as the Chevaller Webb can beg or borrow ® few thousands or a few bundreds, be will never scandalize the “Christian families” of the Fifth avenue, or any other avenue, with o butcher's bill of seven dollars a month. His “positive sympathy” with his stomach would scora such a pitiful allowance of pork, beef and mutton, Wnar Coxstitres Mcrorr—The cases of Lally and other homicides who have recently been ttied in Brooklyn and this city are calcu- lated to lead to an inquiry whether there is any | use in preserving the word “murder” any longer in the statute book and in the dictionary. The case of Lally was one of peculiar aggravation. Witnesses swore to the principal facts, and it seems beyond all reasonable doubt that hé and others (of whom he seems to have been the ringleader) attacked and put to death, in a brutal manner, a quiet inoffensive man who hed done him no injury, and whose only offence was that he had gently reproved Lally for the use of bad language. On this statement of facts tho jury found bim guilty of “manslaughter in the second degree!” It is true that some allowance may be made for the jury, inasmuch as the prosecution had with singular indiscretion deprived their case of the benefit of the evidence of an important wit- ners by indicting him as a principal or acoes- sory. Bat even without this, the case was clear enough, as the Judge's charge abundantly proved. ; It is not charged that there were any persons on the jury who got there by the peculiar pro- c@s which so frequently enables culprits in this city todefeat the ends of justice. But as the trick bas been so often and so successfully tried here, perhaps it would be worth the while of some of the members of the Vigilance Com- mittee which was lately organized in Brooklyn to see to the repression of murderous outrages, to make some inquiry into the composition of the panel, and into the antecedents of the jurors. Were there any jurors sitting in that care who were agreed to acquit Lally in the teeth of any evidence, and whove acquiescence in the verdict was only obtained by the consent of the others to render a verdict absurdly dis proportionate to the crime? ‘The only thing which now remains to be done to complete the measure of impunity for crime is for some tender hearted Governor to pardon Lally. Mr. King will see the consistency of acting without delay. Tar Kansas Camraion Broun.—The second of August. next is the day appointed for the election in Kansas, which is to decide the ad- mission of that State into the Union under the Lecompton constitution, or the rejection of that constitution by the Kansas people; and the campaign was fairly opened by ex-Governor Stanton at Leavenworth, the other evening, in a flaming speech against Lecompton and the administration. Very well. This was expected of Mr. Stanton, and it is also pretty generally anticipated that the Lecompton constitution will be rejected. Bat what then? Why, the people of Kansas must bide their time, ac- cording to the Jaw of Congress; or should they, disregarding that law, apply at the next session for admiseion under some new constitation, the agitators may find them- volves very much disappointed in the action of Congress upon their petition. That is all. The late bill has transferred the Kansas agitation to Kansas, and there, we dare say, it will remain to the end of the chapter. Congress has had enough of it—all parties in Congress have had enough of it—they are all sufficiently etultified upon it, and they will take good care to mak, cbort work of KF When Kuneue comes before os the freede,™ Shritkers scd Konses bleeders, inside and ony 4° of the Territory, would, perhaps, do well to memnize the re- salts of the Inte blcody affrey of Jin, Lane after ‘ho farbion of the red republican fanerai pro- version of this city to the memory of the aséas- “in Orsini, We betieve that this raffianly Jiot Lane sffair is the latest border ruffian atrocity of wbich any capital can be made for “bleediog Kansas.” What cays the Hon. Massa Greeley ? TEMMARRASSMENTS OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR — It seema, fiom the last news from Franoe, that the storm of indignation which the Imperial +cheme for deepoiling the hospitals has aroused bas frightened the officials. The Minister of the Interior bas addressed a freeh circular to the Prefecta, explaining that in his former letter en the sabject be did not mean what he said; atd the papers which are understood to be in the confidence of the government affect to doubt whether the project will be pushed through. Nor is this all. Gen. Kepinasee, it is said, the rough eoldier who has lately been placed at the head of the Interior Department is to be dismissed or “ allowed to resign on the ground of ill health ;” while « civilian, a pre- fect of Rouen, a man of great energy and in- terse Bonapartism (he was gaised from obscuri- ty by the Oricans family) is to be substituted in bis place. it also seems that the government have re- linquiehed the unpopular scheme of excluding the public from the Tuileries. Here are two concessions made within a few days of each other. Some newspapers regard them as a whole. some indication of returning sense in the Empe- ror and of the revival of public opinion in France, They are susceptible of a much more natoral if less satisfactory explanation. If the “backdown” of the Emperor on the hospital epoliation question indicates anything, it is that the resolute perseverance and firmness of purpose which have hitherto characterized the career of the Emperor of the French have now deserted him, and. that he has no longer the courage to persevere in the measures on which he decides. A similar and even more marked evidence of vacillation is seen in the alteration of the plans with regard to the Tuileries garden ; a small matter, seemingly, to the American mind, but vastly important to the Parisian. In truth when, as we see, the officers of the garrison of Versailles, headed by the com- mandant, go to welcome the ruffians who tried to murder M. de Péne, escort them from the court martial to the barracks in procession, and give them a complimentary dinner, at which toasts are drunk: “Destruction to journaliem in France and throughout Europe;’ when three hundred adult students, including many eléves of the Polytechnic school, offer, in one week, their services to the editer of the Figaro to fight as many officers as desire duels; when the Emperor is obliged, by the pressure of the soldiery, to crush out the Figaro by the applica- tion of an obsolete law regarding newspaper stamps, it matters very little what petty errors and untoward attempts at reparation the Em- peror may make. These events reveal a state of society for which there is but one remedy ; and it may be taken for granted that the pro- posal to despoil the hospitals would not have been bruited had there been any honest method of filling the government coffers. Baffled in this, the Emperor must fall back on some equally outrageous scheme; and the result must, in any case, be the same. Mr. Bucuaxan Brvors Coxcress.—The news- papers of all parties are at last beginning to acknowledge the historical fact which we pro- mulgated weeks and months ago, to wit:-that the success, thus far, of nearly every measure of Mr. Buchanan administration, and of many of his appointments, may be truly set down to the sup- port of more or less of the reasonable and pat- riotic members of Congress of the opposition partics, Indeed, all the embarrasements and all the troubles of Mr. Buchanan with this late session of Congrees, were the results of the factious, demoralized and intractable condition of the democratic majority of both houses—a state of things brought about by Douglas and his “popular sovereignty” follow- ers on the Kansas issue, and by such Southern fire-eaters a8 Toombs and others of that clique, upon the army bill, the filibustering and other qacetions. At the same time, the Virginia de- mocracy—excepting Mr. Letcher and one or two others—have in both houses been so very shy and so very tifnid upon this, that and the other questions, that we have scarcely known at any time exactly where to find them. On the other hand, Jefferson Davis, who entered this Congrees with the reputation of the head chief of the Southern disorganizers, has proved him- self a most able, useful and consistent support- er of the administration. Mr. Seward, too, has encountered the wrath even of his own party organs in supporting ina prominent case what he believed to be the trae policy of the govern- ment, notwithstanding the fact that it was the policy of the administration. But while the opposition in Congress has thus, upon great things and little things, shown a degree of patriotic liberality towards the administration which was not expected, the factious, mischief making course pur- sued by the rebellious demagogue leaders and would-be leaders of the democracy, is without # parallel in the records of party treachery, insubordination and folly, What have these democratic mischief makers and traitors been driving at’—the destruction of the administration? If go, they have signally failed. Or have they been aiming at the com- plete disruption and dispersion of their own party? If so, they have a pretty fair prospect of success. The administration stands, and will stand; but how do the stultified, discordant and wrangling factions of the democracy expect to come out of the troubles which they have brought upon themselves? From present ap- pearances, where will they be in 1860?—and where will they be in the next Congress ? Mr. Haskey axp tit Wixins Por Inves ‘Trea TION.-A few days ago the Ton. Mr, Haskin, a“ very worthy member of Congress from Wost- chester, published a card in one of our cotem- porary newspapers, stating that he intended, immediately on his retarn to the bosom of his family, to go before the Grand Jury and have one or more indictments got up against the New York Henao, for having published some brief telegraphic statements in regard to the doings of his committee in the Wilkins Point conccrn, which statement, according to his alle- gation, was not precisely correct in all its par- ticnlare, Mr. Horkin also threatened to révive varicur other indictments sgainst the and indulged ion many other fierce menaces of the eame gencral character. Now, ifthe very.worthy member from Weat- chester is co acutely sensitive about hls public cberagter and reputation, ia anticipation of the next Congreetional canvass in that district, we would inyite his attention to « desperate article in connection with himecl!, in the democratic organ of this ci.'¥ of yesterday—a paper called the News. In teat article bis conduct and course in the Wiik.'as Point investigation are represented in such a light as will give him a suitable opportunity of acing an indictment of the broadest kind, avd enable him to have a full end complete judicial investigation, with all tbe curious incidents connected with the Congressional Committee on the Wilkins Point affair. We have seldom perused an arti- cle so strong, 80 pointed, co demolishing, so figroe, so slashing, so directly aimed against the character of any public man, as the article of the News, to which we hereby direct the atten- tion of the worthy member from Westchester.

By the lest despatches from Mexico I perceive that Mr. Forsyth, in bis communication to Senor Caovas, Minister of Foreign Relations in Mexico, with reference to the de- cree imposing a tax on American citizens, compliments the administration of Zuloaga by saying that if preceding governments in Mexico bad acted with the eame prompti tude and disposition to dispose of matters between tae two republics there would now be nothing left audone. ‘The administration at Washington has not yet determined if tho ground of Mr. Forsyth’s objection to the decree be tenable or not. Mr, Forsyth’s objection ia, that the 50 called taxis forced loan, while it would appear to be a sort of temporary income or property tax, general in its application.
