New York, Thursday, Mareh 17, 1550, The News. ‘The screw steamship City of Washington, which left Liverpool on the morping of the 2d inst., reached this port yesterday morning, with four days later news from all parts of Europe, advices from South America, and details of the last reports from India and China. In London on the 1st inst. the official closing quo" tations for consols were $5] a 954, money and ac- count, but afterwards sales were made at 95]. The Liverpool cotton market was still buoyant, with an advance ef one-sixteenth in prices. Flour was in improved demand at the rates last quoted. The re- turns of the British Board of Trade for the month of January show that the aggregate exports for that time were £9,593,123, being £2,371,82: 23, 0r 32 per cent, more than in January last year, and £535,- 318, or nearly 6 per ceat, more than in January, 1857. No satisfactory progress had been made towards a pescefal solution of the Italian question. Cardi nal Antonelli announced on the 22d ultimo to the Austrian and French Ambassadors that the Pope was ready to make arrangements for the simulta- neous evacuation of his territory by the armies of the two Powers, and there was little doubt but they would soon march from the Papal States. It was, however, generally inferred on the Coutinent that this step would only initiate the grand point of the dificulty, although the British ministers ex- pressed strong hopes to the contrary. Lord Cowley presented his credentials to the Emperor of Austria on the 28th ultimo, but no de- cided result had ensued from his mission at last reports. France continued her immense armaments, but Napoleon had asssured Lord Malmesbury that the unusual movements were required for purposes of military discipline and reform, aud that nothing more was intended. Mr. Disraeli submitied an outline of the Derby Reform bill to the Commons on the 28th ult. It differs from the measure proposed by Mr. Bright in many important particulars, and was immediately attacked by that gentleman and other prominent members. Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley were about to withdraw from the Derby Cabinet on account of differences relative to the measure. We have news from Rio Janeiro to the 7th ult. by way of England. It is asserted that Lopez had accepted the mediation of Brazil in his quarrel with our government. There were only twenty thousand bags of coffee at Rio. Details of the news from India, dated at Caleutta on 22d of January, confirm the reports of the com- plete pacification of Oude. The United States ship Powhatan was at Hong Kong, and the Mississippi in the Canton river, China, on the 15th of January. We have accounts from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 26th ult. Our correspondent says:—Hxcepting large speculative movements in fish stuffs, our market during the last fortnight has been very dull. The latest advices from America, however, announced an increased value in flonr, meal and rice, and holders of the stock of these articles look for an improvement on our present qnotations and @ better demand. Produce has been quiet, very little having been brought to market. Our correspondent at Bridgetown, Barbadoes, writing on the 16th alt., says:—Coolie laborers give all the satisfaction that planters can require, aud the Spanish and French islands are being rapidly supplied with them. The market continues over- stocked with breadstutfs, and no prospect of higher rates immediately. Salted provisions are un- changed, while codfish is wanted. Lumber is sale- able at #22 50 a $25 per thousand feet, but there is no demand for staves. Nothing of consequence doing in produce, #3 but little of the new crop has as yet come to market. The crop is expected to commence generally throughout the island abont the middle of March. The weather is showery, but still rain is wanted. The proceedings of the Legislature yesterday were important. The Registry Law bill was passed inthe Assembly. Aftor several ineffectual attempts to recoramit the annual appropriation to order that appropriations for hospitals might be inserted, the bill was passed. The Quarantine bill was under discussion Last evening. We refer to our despatches for details. ‘The usual stated meeting of the Board of Educa- tion took place last evening. A resolution was passed empowering the Superintendent of School Buildings to employ an assistant at a salary of $3 a day. The report of the Normal School Committee, in favor of re-establishing the daily Normal School on a new basis, was tabled for a month and ordered to be printed. The resignation of the Clerk of the Depository was announced, but the appointment of his successor deferred till next meeting. A resolu- tion making a requisition for $100,000 on the Comptroller, to be placed to the credit of the Board, was adopted. Some trifling matters then engaged the attention of the Board till they adjourned. The Police Commissioners yesterday dismissed from the force Sergeant Birney, late of the Mayor's squad, on acharge of causing to be published in correct statistics of arrests by the Mayor's squad Offier John H. Weyer, of the Seventh precinct, was also diamissed the force on a charge of being absent without leave, and irregular conduct. He was alleged to be the proprietor of a disreputable house lately entered by the Fifth ward police. Henry Rochner was yesterday convicted in the Court of Genoral Sessions of having in his posses. sion counterfeit notes on the National Bank of Austria. The prisoner was remanded for sentence until his confederates are tried. Judge Russell's charge to the jury in this case, of which we give a report in another column, alludes to several im portant legal points. At the meting of tg Commis tion Inst evening a potiti # persons opgeged in the business of wansporting mors of Ligra- Congress taking some action upon the present : method of electing the members of the Passengers and freight by steamboats was pro- sented. It brought to the consideration of the Board the propriety of licensing a given number of of the emigrant runners who throng the steamboat landings. At present the police was power- leas; but if the suggestions of the petitioners were adopted, they thought that the law could be easily enforced. The matter was referred to the Committee on Castle Garden to confer withthe Mayor and report to the Board. The Vice Presi- dent stated that he had served the necessary notice on the Sheriff in reference to the rumored incendiary attempt on the Quarantine buildings. The weekly return of em‘gration to this port shows a total nun! er of 4,343 to the 16th inst., compared with 5,088 at the game date in 1858. The number of is and inmates ‘s 1,07) ,to 1,833 last year, aat | i ‘The balance ‘n bank amounted to $16,267 ‘th instant, inclusive of the oommutations ssongers.

We learn from Washington that Congrees will prokably be called to mect in extra session on the fourth Mondav of August next. The opening of this session will be the begin- ning of the great struggle for the next Presiden- cy, and the first contest will be on the Speaker- ship and organization of the House, as was the casé in 1855. In this regard the complexion of the next Congress becomes a matter of great in- terest. The following carefully prepared table shows what that will be, so far as can be deter- mined in the present position of affairs. The first column presents the classification of mem- bers already elected, and the second the mem- bers to be elected, classified as they stood in the last House. We divide the parties into five classes, separating from the others the fishy de- mocrats, who hope to control the organization of the House and to elect their own President by breaking up all the old parties. Here is the table:— Flecte?. To be Elected. Total. . 6 65 iol Democrats . South Am 2 13 15 Black repubiicans . tes 102 3 104 North Americans. 3h: 1 5 Fishy democrats .; 11 1 12 ‘Total members Of Congress.....sesseeeeereeeeseee 237 The following table will show the state of par- ties still more clearly:— orvosrT DEMOCRATS. Republicans. 104 Democrats proper. North Ameri 5 South Americans, Apparent demoeratic majority Fisby democrats,...... is Majority against the regular democracy,........... 5 We give the fishy democrats to the opposition, for besides the fact that many of them have already gone over to the black republicans, it is a well known axiom in politics that no represen- tative man can abandon his own party and not coalesce with the opposition. He who once gets on the fence must go clean over or come back into the ditch of oblivion and remain there. Besides this, there are four seats classed above as democrats proper which are contested by black republicans; and if they obtain the orga- nization of the House there is little doubt that some of the contestants will obtain the seats. These are Barret, of uri, contested by Blair; Sickles, of New York, contested by Wil- liamson; Maclay, of New York, contested by Hamilton; and Jlorence, of Pennsylvania, con- tested by Ryan. The concession of these seats to. the contestants will increase the opposition majority in the House to thirteen. Some changes will no doubt be made in this table by the elections yet to come off, and it is not improbable that a few of the States where the elections have yet to be made may not be represented. Several of them cannot order an early election without calling an extra session of the State Legislature to authorize it, and a few of these have no provision in their constitu- tions for the calling of such a session. This slate of things demonstrates the necessity of House, and providing for such a contingency as that now presented by adopting a uniform time for holding the Congressional elections through- out the Union. From the foregoing data it is evident that the coming Congress will be one of the most dis- cordant we have ever had. The prize to be con- tended for is the entire organization of the go- vernment for four years trom the 4th of March, 1861, with its expenditure of three hundred mil- lions or more of dollars. All the cliques and factions will do their utmost to kill each other, and many of them will probably succecd in killing themselves. We may expect, in fact, a perfect Kilkenny fight among all parties. Without the democratic vacancies that will pro- bably occur in the extra session the opposition would have the organization in their bands; and, with the wacancies, they are pretty certain to have it. The policy of the democrats will be to throw the odium that the next Congress is cer- tain to inspire in the country upon their antago- nists; and they will no doubt adopt some rule similar to that they adopted in 1855,} which will preclude a combination between themselves and any of the opposition elements. This will force upon the latter the election of Speaker and the selection of the committees, which will carry with them the responsibility of the legislation. Look ont, then, for an opposition Congress, and two of signed by 4 nuvaber | the most disgusting polilical scheming segsions we have yet bad. ‘The Ytalian Question—The Bvacuation of Rome Agreed Upon, ‘The evacuation of the Roman States by the French and Austrian troops bas been regarded by many aa the key to the solution of the Utaliam difficulty. That event is no longer a matter of speculation, for, s8 will be seen by the last malls, the Pope bas, through Cardinal Antonelli, for- mally intimated to the ambassadors of the two governments his desire that the occupation should be simultaneously put an end to, and that within the shortest time possible. Of course, after such a communication, neither France nor Austria has any option left but to withdraw. As the Pope is diplomatically as- eumed to be an independent prince, their pre- rence can only be justified by his sanction. When, therefore, he declares that he desires the removal of their troops, neither government his aright to gninsay him, and neither, we believe, has any disposition to do so, If we are to judge from Lord Molmesbury’s declarations in Parlia- ment, this official notification of Cardinal Anto- velli is but the corollary of the decision pre- viously arrived at by the Austrian Cabinet. ‘Tbat government, desirous of placing itself right before the world and of throwing the onus of ag: gression upon France, properly determined to recede from a position which was untenable, and which afforéed to Louis Napoleon his only just grounds fora quarrel. It does not of course bcleve that in evacuating the Roman States it averts war; it knows that this is inevitable, aud acondvion of its existence as a great military rival of France; butit feels that in entering upoa a coultiet jike that in which it is about to be en- gaged it i# imporiant that it should secure the moral countenance and sympathy of the world. Louis Napoleon is of course not only willing, but anxious. to comply with the Pope’s requisition, tedvances bim a step nearer to the accom. plicbment of his schemes, The ten thousand French troops stationed in Rome and Civita Vee- chia are at present a positive obstacle to them. “bat he wants is, not a partial occupation. based on the Pontif’s necessities, but an oceupa- tion on his own account, justified by an appeal from the Italian populations. A political Tar- tuffe of the most unblushing kind, he only ad- vanees to his objects under the cover of a sham liberalism and a pretended moral necessity; and thus he contrives to humbug one half of the world while be enchains and enslaves the other, Does the near prospect of the evacuation of the Roman territory bring tranquillity and confi- dence hack to the disturbed mind of Europe? tt we look to the London and Paris money markets, those infallible barometers of public sentiment, we find but few evidences of it. Notwithstanding Lord Malmesbury’s assurances that the French government means nothing hostile to the peace of the world by the continuance of its naval and military preparations, the fact that they are con- tinued, and that on the most stupendous seale, naturally contributes to keep alive the anxiety and distrust which have had such a feverish infla- ence on the funds. To say nothing of the fluctua- tions of English securities, the statement that large sales of Lombardo-Venetian and French railway shares continue to be made, and the still more significant announcement that the banking house of Fould & Co. have refused to take the new Sardinian loan, are in themselves sufficient indications that the concession made by Austria is regarded but as an instalment of what France and Sardinia are prepared t» exact from her. In fact, the Patric intimates as much; and as that journal is suppesed to speak from-authority, we have to look to the instructions of Lord Cowley, or rather to the results of his mission, for come explanation of what the further demands of those governments are. It will be seen from what we have stated that the withdrawal of the Austrian troops from the Papal territories, so far from settling anything definitively, will only serve to precipitate the conflict of the two great military Powers which are intent upon securing the supremacy in Italy: Nobody believes that the Pope will be able.to maintain himself for any length of time in Rome after the occupation ceases. A general revolt will again send him flying into Naples ; and then will arise a desperate contest between the repub- lican party and the moderates, who dream of Italian independence under a constitutional monarchy. In the anarchy that will follow ap- peals will be made by the latter to Sardinia for assistance, whilst, on the other hand, it is not likely that Austria will calmly look on and see the Church stripped of its temporalities. The first move made by Austrian troops to its as- sistance will be the signal for the advance ofa French army into Italy, and then will begin that prolonged and desperate struggle which we are told is to end either in the dismemberment and partition of the Austrian empire or the second overthrow and proscription of the Napoleon dynasty. ‘Mass MEerinG oF THE TWeLrtH ReomMent.—Last even- ing the members of the Twelfth regiment, Independence Guard, beld a mags meeting at the Mercer House, corner of Broome and Mercer streets, in relation to what they consider the unjust decision of the court martial in the case of their commander, Colonel Joha D.

It is calculated that 200,000 Chinese coolies can be placed in Cuba in five years, at a cost of not over $150 a head, and that the value of the slaves now there will be reduced in a corresponding ratio. ‘The Navy Department received to-day despatches from Commodore Shabrick, dated Rosario, Jan. 8.

The Union of this morning, in an authoritative article on “Our Mexican and Central American Relations,” says:— ‘There is not the least reason to believe, from anything which has yet transpired, that oither the French or the British government meditates any interference in the political concerns of Mexico; and it is known that Captain Turner, the American commandin, officer, bas entered into an arrangement with the French and British commanders that the naval officers of the three nations shall lend together, should it be neceesary to afford protection to their respective citizens. It appears, further, that our government does not take the ground that tho Monroe doctrine precludes European nation from going to war with Moxico, whatever the cause which might exist. It maintains, and means to take care, that the Spanish-American States shall not again be reduced to European dominion, but does not maintain that those States may commit just such wrongs as they picaso ogainst European Powers without being responsible to those Powers for their tortuous acts. Spain has declared that it has not the remotest idea of attempting to resub- jugate Mexico. ‘The United States has no objection to one canal or twenty canais in Central Amorica. This is no question under the Monroe doctrine, What they mean to mako good is that the contracts already made and existing with their citizens shall not be violated, and that such canals, when made, shall be equally free and open to all com- mercial nations, and shall not be controlled by any one Power, especially any Ku: Power. Our government is officially assured that England is not pursuing a tortuous or dishonest policy in Nicaragua. The British government professes fairness, and oure is Hot at liberty to doubt their honor. Of the treaties they modi- tate with the goverument of Nicaragua—one for the regu- lation of the Transit route, and the other for the abandon- ment of the Misquito protectorate—the general principles | have been submitted to the government of the United States and are approved by It. Nothing whatever bas yet been done in relation to tho Boston Post Office removal question, nor is it likely that anything will be doue until the arrival here of Postmaster Capen.

Tereons who were under observation as having been expored, were seldom taken into the Quaran- tine grounds. Only keven hundred and sixty such per- rons bad been adinated during the past year.

It provided that when the present commis- sioners shall have provided temporary quarantine accom: Modations for yellow fever pationts such pationts shall not be received at Castleton. The amendment proposed by Mr. Tathii was vory different. It would postpone the ro- movai of patients perhaps indefinitely. Mr. Hall's amenciment was then adopted. Mr. Coxxune (ren) moved to add a section to the bill roviding that all yeeeols arriving in New York from yellow fever porta, between April and November, shall be sub- Jected to quarantine, but exompted all other vessels which all anty be anchored at a cortamn distance off Castle Garden, and if any rick are on board thoy shall be sent to Ward's Islatd. But sf such arrive from infected ports at the tine of leaving, they shall bo subjected to such regulations as the Mayor and Board of Health deem fit, Mr. Srexcen epoke against the proposed amendment as sweeping a viow wt the Qnarantine for the benefit of ship- owners. Mr. Swrrt (dcm.) oppored the amendment as highly hazardous to the hewith of tho city, Mr, Tov & ppered it as starting and dangerons af a totat repeal of ali the Quarantme laws.

He wanted no concessions to outsiders, and was in favor of a bold stand on national matters. Mr. Rogers, of Somerset, replied to him, and was in favor of a conciliatory course, and opposed to tho Thirty Million Cuba proposition as being a pad speculation. The resolutions adopted endorse to the fullest extent the policy of the President in sottling the difticultios with Great Britain in reference to the freedom of the seas, and in sottling tho difficulties in Kansas and Utah, and in regard to the protection of citi- zens abroad. They advocate a revision of the tariff’ of 1857, algo tho acquisition of the island of Cuba by honorable and peaceable means, as being of vast im- portance to the interests of the country, and recommend investing the President with full power to open and pro- tect routes across the Isthmus. They also endorse tho doctrine of popular sovereignty and approve the course of Senator Bigler, and recommend an independent State ‘Treasury on the principle of the Sub-Treasury, All the resolutions endorsing the course and policy of Mr. Buchanan were adopted without a dissenting voice. The only resolution that aroused any debate was tho endorsement of Governor Packer. The resolution en- dorsing the Governor was voted down by yoas 37, nays 84.

Tar Mcrray Steerer BURGLARY—ANKEST oy Two OF “HR Aizen BrGLars—Rucovery or a Pornon oy mm Storey Prorerry.—In yesterday’s Hxeann we gave an account of an extensive burglary committed on the premises 69 Murray street, occupied by Frost & Cushman, manufacturers and dealers in silk and cotton goods—some $5,000 in silks being carried off by the burglars. As stat- ed, nothing was known of the robbery until the following moruing by the police of the Third ward, though the work ‘was done atan carly hour on the previous e ¥ firet known of tho burglary was by one of the of the above firm, who, on opening the store in the 9 found the paneis of the partition broken out, and the missing. During tho afternoon following’ the rob Capt. Walling, of the detective force, was made aware the facta, when detectives Joseph Keefe and Thomas Slowey, on hearing of the case, immediately proceeded to try, if possible, to ferrot out tho burglars and recover tho property. In the course of an hour they learned thata number of boxes bad becn delivered at a certain tenement house in the Eigbtecath ward, and finally their suspicions rested on 160 Rast Twenty-soventh street. Proceeding to the above neighborhood, they ascertained from a grocoryman ou the corner of Twenty-seventh street, that about seven o'clock that evening, Cos gd ad bat baif an hour before, four black were taken out of the tenement house and placed on a cart, which drove up avenue A. Officer Keefe proceodod to the house, while the other officer ke} ‘outside; nd on examining the promises and making somo inquiries, tho front room on floor was found to have been let to aman but a fow days previous, and that it, was from this room tho trunks were brought. Oficer Keefe, finding the door of the said room locked, concluded to burat it open, and on doing 60, found within vix empty boxer—the identical ones stolen from Frost. & Cuehman—and in a closet seven pieces of tho stolon sill. About four o'olock yesterday afternoon olicers Kecto and Slowey came accoss two notorious burglars, in a lagor bier saloon in the Bowery, both of whom have served out a term at Sing Sing. They anawering the description given were taken in custody and conveyed to the detective ‘lice, and on #earching them a key and several other ar- ticles were found, They gave their names as James Do- nohue and William Strutter alias Martin, The key, which ‘was found on the former, proved, upon an oxamination made by officer Keofe, to bo the identical key belonging to the door of the above house, Tt wae aise identified by the landlady av the key belonging to the door. She was accordingly, togethor with the gro- cerymnn, taken before tho prisoners, when they identilled Donohue ag the man who hired tho room, and ‘also ag one of the party seen to carry out the trunks, They were ac- cordingly committed by Justice Woieh to answer. The whereabouts of the remaining portion of the perty is not as yet known, but pamed officers are doserving of great credit for the manner in which they followed up the burgiars, and the finding of a portion of the sioton property.
