The News. There was an enthusiastic mass meeting at Tam- many Hall last evening in favor of the acquisition of the island of Cuba. Senator A. G. Brown, of Mississippi, Hon. John Cochrane, and other distin guiched gentlemen, made able speeches appropriate to the occasion. For full particulars see report in another column. ‘The case of Mr. Sickles was taken up by the Grand Jury at Washington yesterday. A number of wit- nesses were examined, whose testimony was sub- stantially the same as the evidence given before the Coroner's jury. Several matters of local interest were brought up in the Legislatare yesterday. We refer to the telegraphic report for details. The death of Mr. Baker, member of Assembly from Cattarangus county, was annonnced in thet body, when the a ae reaalut were adopted. The steamslip acely ja reached this port yesterday from Havana, with advices to the 9th inst. The news is not important. General William Walker and Colonel Natzmer had arrived Havana from New Orleans, en voule to Aspinwall and California. Sogars had declined in price, with 150,000 boxes on hand. Exchange rates heavy.

His case, he adds, was not a filibuster but a mercantile one, as in the year 1856 he entered into a contract with the (at that time) legitimate President of Peru—General Eche- nique—to furnish him with a steamer, If, as an American citizen, he had received the least pro- tection from Mr. Clay, the United States Minister, he is satisfied that he would never have been sen- tenced, but would have been absolved, as were all the other political prisoners--the more so as the before-mentioned contract never was realized. The steamer New World, Captain A. 2. St. John, of the People’s Line, took her departure for Albany last evening, on her first trip for the sea- son. She had a large freight and a fair comple- ment of passengers. The Isaac Newton and Francis Skiddy will leave this evening. The cotton market coutinued firm yesterday, though sales wore less active, and embraced about 1,300 bales. Prices closed stiff on the basis of 123g cents per Ib. for middling upland. Sour continued in good demand from the trade, and common brands of State and Western were rather firmer; Socthern flour continued firm, with a fair amount of sales. Wheat was bict while transactions were moderate; red winter Weete’\\ sold at $1 48 a $1 50; Milwaukie Club at $1 95; choice Ohio at $1 70, and Chicago spring at $1.10.

Beef continued firm and in good demand. Lard was rather firmer. Sales of sugars embraced about 600 a 600 uhds., at rates given in another colymn. Coffee was firm but quiet; a small lot of prime Rio sold at 121g0. Freights were quite steady, while engagements were made to a moderate extent. Cuba In New York State Politics—The Effect of Immigration and Expansion on the Country and on Parties. The democracy of New York held last night a large and enthusiastic Union meeting at Tam- many Ifall, to give expression to the popular sentiment on the acquisition of Cuba. This is the initiatory movement in the coming political campaign in this State, and the course of the dis- cussion shows the platform and programme of the democratic party. They have issued their way ery. European immigration and territorial ex- pansion, two of the greatest and most active ele- ments of the prosperity and material develop- { ment of the country, have been for a long time | the objects of opposition on the part of certain cliques of short-sighted politicians among us. ‘The inane ontery of the Know Nothing, or sel& ctelod Avnet e487, HOAINSE the first has fallen | of its own folly, and buried the leaders ovncath the falien mass of their own vaporings. The sta- | tistics of our progress have completely demo- lished them. Ti has been proved, beyond all controversy, that the tide of iminigration from | Europe brings a palpable increase to our accu- mulated wealth, and gives'an immediate impulse to our production. In the last ten years four millions of immigrants have reached out shores, each bringing with him an average of one hun- dred dollars in gold, making an aggregate of | four hundred millions of currency retura- jed to us The first result of these ) facts is, that the anaual export of specie and bul- | lien which our commercial tables show to be sap- | plied by us to Earope, comes back to us in the | pockets of the immigrants, and thus constanily | readjust the so-called adverse balances of trade. But the most important of the results of this | great immigration lies in the supply of labor | which it brings, and without which many of our | public works and private undertakings would | have to be abandoned or delayed. The unskilled | laborer at once undertakes to dig our canals, build the substructure of our railways, carry the ‘hod for our buildings, and to perform all these aborious ocenpations for the carrying on of | which we do not possess in the Northera States the necessary supply of untrained men, The | skilled immigrant brings, on the other hand, | much knowledge that was not before posscased by the community, and thus increases its sources of wealth. New pursuits ia agviculture—as, for instance, the cultivation of the grape, which is Que almost entirely to foreign skill; new or unused processes in the manufacturing aris, } which by the union of European secrets with , American discoveries are rapidly enabling us to | surpass the industrial skill of the Old World; and | Rew tastes and desires, which invariably give rise | to mew pursuits and labors in the art of proIne- | tion. While these results are being produced in our community by foreign immigration, a compen- | sating movement ix necessary to prevent that | stagnation which results everywhere from over- ly. If the country were to receive th cuse supplies that immigration gives it without « corresponding outlet of new employ- ment, the channels of labor, enterprise And com- yuld soon become choked, and a nataral merece W ilar to the artificial oue which the ug party so vainly eudeavored to isis prevented by the simulta- ac.ioa upon the gencral industry. Every new admission of territory to the Union has in this way given anew impetus to the material prosperity of the older portion. ‘The aoquisition of Louisiana hastencd into life th: culture of the Mississippi ley, and wave « mployment to the vast meroaniile marine which the Atlan- tic States have constructed. California gave another avd a still greater impulse to the industry of the older States. Inthe ten years that it hasbeen opencd to us it has sent to the \tlantic States tive hundred millions of doliars in precious metal, being but little more than what the immigraats have brought duriag the fame period. The acquisition of these Territo- rie by the Vuion has been beneficially ion of the world; and their trad ¢ brea ommerce, in now f tac nostrils of our o port of the foreign policy of the President. The triumph of this policy will do more to bring about a revival of trade and to inaugurate a new era of prosperity than all the abstractions that ever passed through the visionary brains of Sew- ard and all the black republicans. Tue Vireista State Exxcriox.—The elec- tion for Governor in the Old Dominion, which will take place on the 26th of May, is begiuning to attract attention all over the country. If the new opposition succeedin that State it will be the signal of re-organization for similar parties in the Middle States, and it will be the greatest blow to the black republican fac- tion in the free States that it has yet received. The idea put forth by some igno- rant journalists, that if the Virginia opposition should prove successful it will affiliate with black republicanism in the North, is very preposterous and absurd. It is a perfectly independent move" ment, and if it sueceed in Virginia it will tell in other States, Evrect or tHe Stckies TRAGEDY IN Tammany Ha.s.—The unfortunate tragedy in Washington in which Mr. Sickles was concerned begins to produce some strange movements about Tam- many Hall, IJtis generally supposed that that sad affair removes Mr. Sickles from all political position fora long time to come. It is well known that for the last two or three years he has been the most efficient man and leader in defvat- ing Fernando Wood, and ousting Lim from Tam- many Hall. Now that Sickles is in some measure out of the way, we would not be surprised to see Wood come back to Tammany, for he was the ablest man connected with that institution till Sickles developed genius and talent to cope with him. Ifthe ex-Mayor should go back to the old party wigwam, and undertake the regnlation of the concern, it will be a grand stroke against the Albany Regency and the rogues in;that direction. Tur Stare Deraccatioy 1x On10.—The grand defalcation of some of the State officers of Ohio, amounting to nearly $600,000 during the last ten years, affords only a specimen of what may be expected in other States. In the State of New York millions on millions of doljars have been squandered on canals, and there are four mil- lions of floating debts at this day. It is gene- rally suspected that an honest investigation of Yayxee Iystrrvtioys iv Lospox. “Several of the London weekly papers have adopted the Bon- ner system of advertising, and inserted whole pages of advertising matter in the London 7tmes, and other leading papers there, as Mr. Bonner does in the Herat and other journals here. Yaa- keciém is spreading rapidly in Europe. \ Very Narvrat.—Wendall, of the Washington Union,’ just fresh from the dirt and spoils of the treasury, is now stirring up the guano question with a long pole. Carsvornta Gorp.—The epecic list of the Star of the West, arrived on Sanday, exbibits the smallest semi-monthly shipment of gold which has landed here from San Fran- cisoo simee 1851, There is an evident falling off in the amount of epecie shipped thus far this year, compared with Inet, a3 will be seen by the following table:— 1859, January 6....... 9 $1,810,718 January 20. 1,248 ,60" 1,804/865 February 1,640,429 1'287/007 Febroary 1979 154 920,177 Total....... + $5,833,840 $4,723,722 Decrease in four shipments, $1,119,127 If the shipments should continue to deare: ratio, the close of the year would exhibit a falling off, compared with thoge of 1858, of over six millions seven hundred thousand dollars.

Piecotoanst at Ni Malle, Piccolomini was announced to ging at the Orleans last Friday, in-“La ‘Tra- viata.” The price of sonts was fixed at tarce dollars each, and the choice sold at auction. pia enna Nindo’s Garpex.—The large and valuable collection of animals known as the Van Amburgh menagorie, have been @lded to the attractions of Nixon & Co.’s circns. Together, the attractions of the circus and the wild,beasts raake the Garden a3 popular as ever. THRATRE Francar®.— “Lee Premicre Armes de Richolicn” will be given for the se: time to-night, with a new Ovvostrion Lixk to Carsrorsia.—By the last news from California we learn that the steamship Orizaba, of the Garrie Son Opposition line, liad hauled into the wharf at San Fran- cisco preparatory to her trip for Panama on the Sth of March. —— ene ‘al CoveTvers —The particulars of the British Dark Frankifn, on her homeward voyoge from Pensacola to Queenstown, in January last, } Were detailed in the New Yous Besary of the 20th of | ‘hat month, The wife and child of the captain (‘oung) } and some of the crew wore washed overboard and | ir The survivors, after clinging to the wreck for days and enduring extreme privations from hun- ger and cold—ceveral of the men bé ercly Ceost- bitten—were proviientially fallen in with and regoned by the American packet sblp Manhattan, Capt.

By the latest news from Mexico I learn that Gen, Garza had resigned as Governor of Tamaulipas, and that Andreas: Farino was appointed to the vacancy by President Juarez. From the movements of Robles and his intimato friends, there was overy reason to believe he intended within a short time to pronounce against both the Miramon and Juarez governments. ‘The leading republicans of the Seward school have been in eecret consultation here for the last few days, to take preliminary steps in arranging the programme for 1860.

It is credtbly ascertained that both England and Franc> disclaim any other intention in sending naval forces to the coast of Mexico than to procure due reparation for wrongs to British and French subjects. The further statement is made that itis not their purpose to take sides with or favor either of the contending Mexican gevernments, There js reason to believe our government is not appre- hensive that anything will bo done by them in conflict with the Monroe doctrine or to shape the political institu. tions of that country. Mr. Holt entered upon the discharge of his duties as Postmaster General to-day.

PROPOSED $3,500,000 CANAL LOAN—THE NEW YORK ARSENAL—DEATH OF ASSEMBLYMAN BAKEM, EC. Aimany, March 14, 1859. Senator Prosser, of Buffalo, is a practical man. There bas been no person ever in the Legislature who has had the expericnce in the transportation of produce and mer- chaadise equal to the honorable Senator. For a period of nearly twenty years he hat been actively conuectod with canal transportation, in every capacity, from a simple dri- ver up to one of the heavicet and most eusceseful forward- ing merchants, His experience satisfies him that the in- terests of the State, and the larger facilitios for transit to nnd from tide water, require the completion of the canals at the earliest possibie moment.

By last advices you were informed that the intervon- tion, complete and without disguise, took place; that the perpetrators were the commanders of French and English war versels. If these commandors had taken this port by main force, the intervention could not have beon moro direct thas that which took place; but then it would have been an act of frank dealing, and not such a mysterious, sneaking way, as that which has been employed. However, such underbanded proceedings are not onig unworthy of great nations, but carry with them some- times the punishment due to transactions basod upon the act of overreaching the enemy or accomplice. ‘This bas been carried out to the letter, and the result has Deen that Mr. Otway duds bimself not only the dupe of Mr. Gabriac, but of bis confederates also, Miramon and the other so-called authorities of Mexico, When these worthies, the commanders of the naval forces of Great Britain and France, compelled, as they say, by superior orders issued taroagh their ministers, forced the constitutional government ol this placo-~and, by the-by, the only legitimate one of tue whole republic—to withdraw tie decroe which granted a reduction of twenty per cent, and eventually a discount of ten per cont on im- port duties, it was clearly understood that the govern- ment of the cap tal should uncowditionally ay & do- ee teopy obat vee eval uf extra datiog uy gent to the interio: tad Agsoon aa the Miramon government was awa euch a concoesion had been obtained by thelr eotteaplions niniquity , Mr. Gabriac aud his dupe, Mr. Otway—aa event which they did not évén antici, ', hot considering that hey Woiid dad such willing tools in the commanders of he naval forces—they went a step farthor and put such ridiculous conditions upon the withdrawal of tbe thirty Per cent, that it was quite imposeible for any merchant to comply with the same, implyiog, in short, nothing less than that the whole of the im duties should be withdrawn from this government aud come into Miramon’a pockets, The agreement stood thus: that one-half should be paya: ble bere and the other half in Mexico. The following were the proportions to bo paid over to the foreign credt- tors:—Sixteen per cent for the English convention, teron- ty-five per cent for the English bondholders, twenty-five per cent of all French vessels, and nino por cent of others to the French convention, all of which is paid by the go- vernment here; and now the Mexican authorities claim that ut least fifty per cent ho paid in their capital, which ‘would leave this goyernmont with worse than nothiag. Be it stated here that the above sixteen and twenty five per cent were paid relixiously by our authorities to the English, and of that of the French convention only a trifle remained to be paid up, and still the above measuros by force were resorted to, to the eternal shame of thoso European government. Spain even behaved ina more decent way, because it bas appeared that sno only Wanted a pratext for pitching in; but still, even secing thess demands, she did not join, ough her convention is not paid, and if part of it ie tor of diepute, at loast a great part of it is recogn!: Y Mexico, and ehe might, at least, have requested that ‘indie Sums should be doposited. However, Was nob 89 Mean as to resort to such measures, Which docs her honor. When Str. Otway saw how he had beoh duped, be pro- tested, and he was langhed at; and bis master, Mr. Ga- briao, lett him in tl ch. Then another occurrence took place, which tag, that Miramon decrad a forced loan of one per cent on all capital, inciuding all kinds of property, wages, salaries, &e., “for only once—the game expression used by Zvloaga when he adopted ihe same plan of rovbery some months ago. ° This decree was even ponned by Gabriae himself, as peopleastert, adding that both he and bis colleagno aro armpiy paid fur what they perform, but which decency forbids us to believe. It ja true that when Mr. G. performed a certain trip by request of Comonfort, and when his re- port was, ag @esired, ogsingt Spanish claims, (the protection of which ‘wos under his charge) ho 1s said to hava received 260,000 francs for travelling experees; but that must bs a calamny also, ant iu is 10 be hoped, for decenoy’s Fake, that if the French Emperor had not sufficient proof uf the falsehood of the charge, he would have listened to the #o ott repented pe- titions of French residents of all the parts of the repabtic asking his removal. Such forced loans were decreed by Miramon at Guana- juato and Guadalajara beore his return to the capital; Intely by the Governor of Sul Jiis, all including forcign- ers. Now let. un look to the duty of our government, efter all these depredations have taken place. Say the exire duty and the multiplied forced loans, and then the aro pean intervention. Agaiost the former measures there is Mr. Forayth’s protest, sotting forth in the plainest terms that the United States government will not allow eucte burthens to be laid upon foreign trade in order tooblain a political ond, Against the latter we have the Monroe doctrine and the Presidest’s message; but it really ap- poars that Louk are dead Je Will ‘the people wt last compel the govermnicnt t in both cages, or not?
