The contents of the European edition of the Hmwatp will combine tho news received by mail and telegraph at the office during the previous week, and up to the hour of publication, The News. The steamship North Briton, which left Liver pool on the 8th instant, arrived below Quebec yes- terday, but in consequence of a severe storm the agent of the Associated Press failed in his attempts to board her. Her news will probably be pub- lished in to-day’s afternoon edition of the Henan. By the arrival of the steamship Black Warrior we have advices from Havana to the 15th instant, but the news is not important. The general trade of the port was dull. The demands of the holders of sugar had edvanced so much that the sales were very few. One hundred and twenty-five thousand doxes remained on hand. Exchange on New York was at three to four per cent premium. An aban- doned slave ship had been taken off Colorado reef by the authorities. She had, it was thought, landed nine hundred negroes, under command of Eugenio Vinas, a daring and experienced trader. Our correspondents in Havana state that the Captain General had suspended two of the Judges of the Supreme Court, on cherges of corruption, from office and sent them to Porto Rico, there to await the pleasare of the Queen, A sedition circular was being distributed amongst the free colored population and Asiatic laborers urging a combination with a view to re volt. A new line of steamships would soon, it was said, he running between Havana and New York. The case of the brig Nancy was not finally determined by official siguatare in her favor, but she was in reality free. Consul Sa vage, of the United States, had given much dissatia faction to many parties by informing the Spanish government of the slavery intentions of the brig C. Perkins, instead of sending her to the United States; for if the veaeel be condemned now, Mr. Savage will be entitled to a pecuniary reward. More war ships and troops were expected from Spain. At Santia- go de Cuba most leading articles of trade were wanted in the market. Laborers were very scarce there. We have news from St. Domingo dated at San- tiago de los Caballeros on the 24th ult., and at Port au Platte on the Sth inst. The revolution was com- plete, and General Santana was at the head of affairs in Santiago, supported by the army and a federal combination of the people in his favor. Ex-President Valverde, with some of his offtcials, were about to leave for Turk’s Island. Santana and his party professed the most frieudly feeling towards the United States. General William Walker and Colone! Von Nate mer sailed from this port yesterday in the steam ship Star of the West. Their destination is of course Nicaragua. What their dosigus may be and what they will accomplish time will reveal. The steam frigate Niagara will sail to-day from Charleston for Atrica with the slaves captared on board the brig E The trial of Townsend, the master of the Echo, will commence in Boston to Gay. The legal questions involved in this trial are regarded as of great importance. The questions whether the carrying of slaves on the high seas from Africa to a slaveholding country like Cuba is piracy; whether it is piracy under any act of Congress or treaty; if the federal constitution recognizes the cariy { slaves as piracy; aud if any act of Congress or treaty can make that piracy which the constitution does not recognize as such, are all to be passed upon. It ix understood that Capt. Townsend will dispute tho jnrisdiction of the court, claiming that he should t lat Key Weat | and not at Boston. He will also defend him self on the plea that he was a passenger and not master of the brig. The records | of the New Orleans Custom House, however, ghow that that the brig Putnam, or Echo, Town. | wend, commander, Cleared from that port for St Thomas on the 6th of March last. Capt. Townsend in his prison cell in Boston, appears to be as mild a mannered man as one would wish to meet with. He is serupvlonsly 4 la mode in all bis personal ap- pointments, and altogether is fast becoming quite @ hero, * The case of General Saperintendent Tallmadge came up yesterday at the special meeting of the Police Commissioners. The Deputy Snperintendent of Police and other witnewes were examined, bat the Commissioners were obliged to postpone the examination of some of the witnesses till their next meoting. A fall repor& of the proceedings, to gether with a response to the charges made against him by General Tallmadge, may be found in another colomr Mr. Roger A. Pryor, editor of the Richmond South, wos samm oved on Saturday before » Court of Justices, to give evidence in reference to the re cent duel between Mesare. Sherrard Clemena and ©. Jennings Wise, the object being to obtain suffi- cient information respecting the duel to lay the fonndation for the isene of warrants against the principals in the affhir. Six hours’ close examina- tion, however, failed to extract from Mr. Pryor a Perticle of the required information, and the court adjourned till Monday, when the attempt was no doubt renewed. It was anticipated that Mr. Pryor Would be committed for contempt of court, if only { afford an opportunity for a fall discussion of the | have celevrated the event, question whether the witness's connection with the duel was criminal within the meaning of the law of Virginia on that subject. Elsewhere we give a full report of the.proceed- ings of a meeting of citizens of Richmond county, held yesterday, to express their views regarding the affairs that have recently transpired at Quarantine. It will be seen that the action of Governor King in stationing the military at Staten Island, and the contemplated re-erection of hospitals, were strongly reprobated. At the meeting of the Health Commissioners yes" terday a communication from the Mayor, with refe- rence to the charges for lighterage and stevedoring, was presented. The document is given in our re port of the proceedings. Governor King appeared at the meeting of the Commissioners of Emigration yesterday, and ex pressed his views as to the rebuilding of hospt- tals at Quarantine. It was finally concluded to erect ® sufficient number of buildings to answer quaran- tine purposes. Further action will probably be de- ferred until the meeting of the Legislature. In the Board of Aldermen last evening a report in favor of repealing the ordinance prohibiting the use of locomotives on the Fourth Avenue Railroad, below Forty-second street, was adopted by a vote of nine to six. A resolution was referred to the Finance Committee, directing the Street Commis. sioner to advertise for proposals for restoring Fourth avenue, between Thirty-second and Thirty- fourth streets, to the regular grade, and for paving, curbing and guttering said avenue. Also, for building walls on each side of the tunnel, and to have a suitable iron railing placedthereon. A reso- Iution was offered and referred to the Committee on Railroads, dirccting the Hudson River Railroad Company to run small cars on their track to Fifty third street, fare not to exceed five cents, and in case of the Hudson River road failing to comply, the privilege to be conferred on such other com- pany as sha}l be designated by the Common Coun- cil. The Meyor sent in a communication vetoing ‘a resolution providing for improving the pavement in Broadway. A preamble and resolution in regard to the late legal decision on the proposed market property in favor of R. W. Lowber were offered. They instructed the Corporation Counsel to take measures to open and set aside the judgment, and let the Corpora tion into a defence, to save the city from the encrmous loss it will otherwise sustain. ‘The paper was referred to the Finance Committee. ‘The Board adjourned to Thursday next. News from St. Thomas to the Ist inst. has been received. The island was healthy. The last rates of freights for sugar were 45 cents. Exchange on the United States at 60 days sight, bank drafts, per cent premium; 3 days sight, 1 per cent premium. Pri- vate, 60 days sight, 2 per cent discount. Philadelphia and Baltimore flour sold at $6 25 to $6 50, and Rich- mond and Georgetown at $7 25 to $7 50 per bbl. The Court of General Sessions was crowded yes- terday, as it was supposed that Wm. Mulligan would be tried for assaulting Capt. Webb, of California, at the Metropolitan Hotel. The defendant, who was unexceptionably dressed, occupied a seat within the bar. On the case being called, the counsel for Mr. Mulligan said that he advised his client to plead guilty, reserving the right to put in affidavits in mitigation of punishment. He observed that if ever there was a case where an assault was excusa- ble or justifiable, this was one of them. Judge Russell said that he would pass sentence on Satur- day. The trial of James F. Badenhop, charged with manslaughter, was put over till Wednesday, in consequence of the absence of an important wit- ness, who, according to the statement of the prose- cuting officer, had suddenly disappeared. Joseph B. Topping pleaded guilty to forgery in the third degree, and was remanded for sentence. Mary Conway, indicted for the mur- der of her child by throwing it down a privy, where it was found alive, pleaded guilty to an assault with intent to kill, and was also remanded till Saturday. Peter Smith and Alexan- der Williams (colored youths) pleaded guilty to petit larceny, and were each sent to the peniten- tiary for six month. Michael Downing and Lud wick Ficke were convicted of robbery in the first degree, having assaulted Stephen Zollinger on the 8th of September, near Forty-third street and Fourth avenue, and abstracted eight dollars from his pocket. They were remauded for sentence. Richard Boden, alias Hanson, waa tried fo stealing one hundred dollara worth of property from a boarding house in Varick street on the 22d of August. The prisoner and another hired opart- ments, and while in the house their movements were suspicious. A bunch of skeleton keys anda bottle of chloroform were found in their room by the officers. The jury failed to agree upon a verdict. The City Judge has disposed of seventy cases since the commencement of the term. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 700 a 800 bales, closing without change in prices. Flour was in better demand, with fair sales to the ddmestic trade and some purchases for export. The market closed with much firmness, and in some cases of common grades prices were better. Wheat was firm, and prime to choice lots of Western and Southern were scarce and moro ‘firmly held; rales were moderate, at rates given else. where. Corn was unchanged, and the sales made were Hight, including Western mixed at 70c. a 75e., white South- ern at 870. @ 88c., and Pennsylvania yellow at 80, Pork was heavy, with some sales of mess at $17 $17 20, and prime at $15 a $16 20; 100 bbls. moss wore reported sold, deliverable on the Ist of December, at $16 59. Sugars were quite steady, with eales of aboat 700 a 800 hhds. and 300 boxes at rates given in another column. Coffee was quiet but firm. Freights were quite steady, # Uh moderate engagements ‘The English a the Atlantic Cable—The Characteristic Celebrations. The comments of the press in England and France, and, indeed, throughout the continent of Europe, upon the different manner in which the successful laying of the Atlantic telegraph has been received by the people of the several nationalities, afford a curious exhibition of superlative egoti«m. In France, and on the continent geuerally, the event bas been passed over as an affair of little importance to them; and those who foresee th immense results it may produce to Europe do not like to speenlate upon the subject. In Eag- Jand the ease is different. The press there is more free than on the continent, and the inte- rests ‘that will be stimulated by the cable are for more wide spread. The English journals ; have, therefore, taken the subject much more freely in band, and, with few exceptions, they do not at all like the way in which we Americans At first they tell us that we had very little todo with the mat- ter; that “(he idea was started and worked out” in Englond, and there “formed into a practical plan and company;” that “by thie company the money was almost en- tirely raised in England,” and that, in fact, the whole thing wns really the result of “English science, English money, and Englishmen.” But secing that these cool assumptions do not give a logical reason for the keen appreciation on our side and the dull ro cognition on theirs, of the great results to follow the laying of the enable, they tarn around and assert that the event is no such great thing after all, That they “have done and seen done grent- er things;” that they are not in the youth of ox- istence as a nation, but “have an historical past crowded with great events; and, finally, that they have been more staid in their rejoicings, because they are “an older and a soberer peo- ple.” Now, the whole truth of the matter is, that there were two reaeous why the English were 60 staid in their rejoieings over the event in question. First, their great national stupidi- Ovr Posta AR: SGRMENTS wiTH SPAIN. | We call the attention .f the government to the ty, which prevented them from recognising the fact that the postal arr:ngement concluded some magnitude of the event, And, secondly, the four months ago between England and Spain is fact that thoee organs of public opinion which | about going into operation. The matter, we be- did foresee what will surely occur, have no love for the coming events, The telegraph belongs to the practical working men of the age. It is © mighty instrument of power in the hands of the Manchester school of political economists and statesmen, and will carry them to sacendancy in England. It is the nervous cord of the cotton bands that unite the practical men of America and England. Tt has no sympathy or aid for the crowned heads and aristocracy, the glitter and tinsel of Europe. ‘This, the London 7imes and other organs of class interests have foreseen, and they have grown nervous over the fact. They know well enough that a school to which they do not belong is ad- vancing in England; and that the laying of the Atlantic cable brings America, with her im- mense and growing weight, into nearer and closer union with that school. The merchants of Liverpool saw this when they run up the Union Jack over the Exchange, and rejoiced in ita halls at the success of the cable. The quick witted Irish saw it when they gave what the. Times called “a well merited ovation” to Mr. Bright. But the English generally were too stupid to see it, or to give a well merited ova- tion to anybody. / The excuse that the English “are an older and a soberer people” is pure fallacy and hum- bug. It is a common thing for Englishmen to personify their national characteristics in the figure of a stout bullet-headed old fellow, with a big paunch, a red nose, and a long puree; but a personification never grows older or soberer. It is simply the representation of the mental characteristics of a people. In every nation the great mass of the work that marks its character and progress is performed by the young men, before the hopeful visions of youth have faded and they have lost their earnest faith in glory, politics and epecu™ lation. The men of action in every country are verv nearly of the same time of life, and the age of the nation has nothing whatever to do with them. Their energies may be repressed and their impulses restrained in action by absurd class legislation and social distinctions, but these make them no wiser aor more staid. Nelson wasa post captain at twenty-two, Pitt was England’s greatest Minister at twenty-five, Na- poleon changed the face of Europe at twenty- eight. Individual quickness of intellect, a ready appreciation of practical advantages, and a power of rapid deduction of effect from cause belong to the mental organization, and have not the slightest connection with the question whether the political constitution of the country has stood a hundred or a thousand years. The cool assurance with which the English journals claim that everything is done by “Eng- lish science, English art and English men,” is extremely refreshing, We have not space to des- cend to the minor points in the field of tele- graphic discovery and developement, and therefore confine our remarks to the major ones. Franklin, an American, was the first to bottle up the lightning. When electricity first began to be used by the savans as a means of communica- tion, the American government was the first to ap- ply public money to the experiment; and no sooner was it demonstrated, than the American people took hold of the telegraph and applied it to all the practical arts of life to an extent that is not yet equalled in any country. When an Atlantic telegraph was talked about, Field, an American, at once went to work to put it into practical ope- ration. The charters and grants from the several States and Provinces were procured by him; and American capital, skill and enterprise perfected the telegraphic commun‘cation with Newfound- land. Then he went to England with large sub- scriptions to the ocean line; and in getting the. rest of the money from English capitalists, he bad to accept English stupidity with it, and cede to them tle management. English stupidity failed to lay the cable, and a year was lost. An American was then made general manager; he got an American mechanic to invent new machines for paying it out, and on the -firet trial disaster came. Then the English dircclurs insisted upon giving up the enterpris:, or.) -elling ont at a great sacrifice, Three Ararciceus, Pivid, Peabody, and Lamson, insisted that the thing conld be done and should be done. ‘Tbcre wae uo such word as fail for them. The English stockholders reluctantly consented, and some of them sold out at seventy per cent loss. Notan American share was put in the market. They went to work and laid the cable, Then Englieh stupidity must have the working of it, for it had stipulated for that when it put in its money. The English electricians went to work with the cable and failed. They have to give it up to Americans again, and as soon as the American iastruments can be con- veyed to Trinity Bay the cable will be set at work, and America and Europe placed in daily communication. Thus the whole thing, in its practical performance, is an American enterprise from beginning to end. And the result will be | lieve, had been in negotiation some seventeen that it will pour a flood of American ideas into England and all Burope that will give a new life to the men of work, and raise them in the scale of social and political influence far above the gilded butterflies of a worthless and selfish aris- tocracy. Sexatorn Doveras tx Wat Srreet—A good deal has been said relative to certain applications made by Senator Douglas to the capitalists of Wall street for a loan of from fifty to one hundred thousand dollars to carry on the contest in Tilinois. The last time the Senator was in New York he opened a negotiation in Wall street for a loan of over $100,000, the major part of which, we understand, was to meci engagements in the shape of mortgagee on landed property and other speculations out West. As to Tammany Hall or any of the politicians here aiding him with five. cents, tt would be more than they have done for the Jast fifty years, Tt is well known that the present managers of Tammany Hall are secretly in favor of Douglas, and are willing to assist him in every possible way—money always excepted. Axomnen Orextya ror Massa Greeiey.— Greeley is laboring faithfully te fuse the Ameri- cans aad republicans of this city upon their can- didates for Congress. Good idea, expecially if “Old Whitey” should be given anotlier chance for his mileage and his Congressional books. The republicans treated him shamefully at Syra- euse; but if they have secured “a good enough Morgan till after the election,” it does not follow that “Old Whitey” should be entirely neglected.

Who seconds the motion? years, and was finally concluded during the Ministry of Isturitz, a statesman of the English school, and formerly und since Envoy to St. James, It will be worth while to inquire how far the passage of letters to and from this coun- try in the same direction may be affected by it. Certain it is that to this time letters are sent to Spain from this country that, however well covered with ten cent stamps, the postage is re- quired to be paid anew for the distance there from England. The articlee of this treaty— twenty-four in number—are draw up with care and clearness, and are signed the 2lst of May last. No better opportunity is likely soon to occur for putting forward a like measure by us than under the business-like administration of O'Donnell. One not for the bare transmission of letters through England and France only, but to and from Spain and her adjacent islands to her West Indian possessions tlrough the United States. At present our public documents are unknown in that country, as are our news papers, except as they are read from through the filetaitions of the periodicals of London and Paria, according as they deem the articles proper or important. The moment ie most favorable, we say, and another so goed ‘may not present iteclf in years. i ‘Twappiie Poxrrictans.—The nincompoops of the Tribune recommend the union of all the anti- Lecomptonites, numbering, as they pretend, forty thousand in this city, to defeat the Tam- many ticket. There are probably not more than a score of persons in this city, outside of the Fourierite den, who care one button about Kan- sas, Lecompton, or all the niggers that have ever been or ever will be there. The great evil which we have to suffer in public matters in this city comes from these blockheads in politics, these nincompoops in public affairs, who conduct such stupid jourztls as the Tribune and papers of its caste. Here is a city taxed to the extent of ten millions annually, with a majority, or nearly so, of tax-paying voters, and with a government not worth half the amount paid for it, which cannot unite to enforce good government despite the schemes of needy politicians and the balderdash of journalists about niggers, border ruffians and all such political trash. The spectacle is enough to turn honest men sick. Law on Tax SueLr.—Forney has failed to be nominated for Sheriff in Philadelphia. Poor Forney: Greeley has not been made a candidate for Governor of New York. Unfortunate Gree- ley! The Chevalier Webb is still ranting and canting over the disastrous Congressional repub- lican fusion nomination of the Westchester dis- trict. Alas! for the Chevalier Webb. Forney, Webb and Greeley should all make a pilgrimage together to poor old Joshua Giddings in Ohio; for he, too, after a quarter of a century of unre- quited services, has been laid upon the shelf. Pouiricat. Dovsiise.—It is difficult to under- stand the tricks of politicians. We have ro- ceived a long communication from Washington, showing that the Hon. George Taylor, of Brook- lyn, and Cornelius Wendell, of Washington, un- derstand each other perfectly, and that they are both uniting to humbug the press and the people of this neighborhood. An article in the Union on this subject would seem to confirm the infor- mation of our Washington correspondent. Saxcuo Panza on wis Travets.~—Chevalier Yeadon, of the Charleston Courier, who is well known as the Sancho Panza of South Carolina, has been travelling all over the country in search, not of disconsolate damsels, but of flow- ers of oratory and modern improvements.

Congress granted swamp Jands in Arkansas to that State. Subsequently, and before a patent was issued to the State, Congress granted lands for railroad purposes covering a portion of these swamp lands previously granted. The question is, was the title under the first grant perfect, the patent not having been issued and lines nét drawn, and can a later act of Congress, which did not in terms repeal the former, set aside that act?
