The recent pacifi: orticle Monileur, it was stated, had fa ten like a thunderbolt on the Court and Ministry of Sardi- nia, and the result of the pacific declarations it was feared might hasten a ccnflict between that coun- try and Austria.

A resolution from the Board of Aldermen, advising the passage of a bill introduced into the Logtsle ture to suppress intemnerance, and to regulate the sale of spiritaons was presented for con currence, As the bill provided that the controlling power over te Excise Commissioners shoald be vested ia the representatives of the Senatorial die tricts, Mr. Ottarson moved to amend the resol: tion Ly substituting the Councilmen for the Aider men, the Jetier body not being elected from the Seratorial districts.

The cowplaint of Mr. Moloney against the San Francisco Vigilance Committee, which has ove: tv some days before Judge Duly, was yes erday dis. missed, the Judge deciding t a tie avtion should be brought in California, and that the courts of this State had no jurisdiction in the matter. Inthe General Sessions yesterday John Sturt- zenegger, jointly indicted with Rohner and Knugei, who were convicted of forgery in t'ie second d gree in counterfeiting notes on the National Bon of Austria, pleaded guilty to the third grado of that crime. Judge Russell, in passing sentence, observed that Sturtzenegger was used as a tool by tue otuer paties, and as his previous character was good !¢ would impose a light sentence, which was two years n the State prison. A correspondent writing to us from Balize, Bay of Honduras, says the English bark Emily Shaw, from London, with a valuabie cargo of dry, fancy staple goods and government stores, wont ashore on the reef, near Kay Glori, on the night of the 16th ult., while in charge of a branch pilot.

It appears that the African shaver, the bark BR. A. Rawlins, captured by the United States steamer Vixen near the Florida coast, was owned by Mr. Lamar, of Savannah. He is the same gentleman, we presume, who figured so conrpicuously at the late sale of the confiscated slaver, the Wanderer, of which he became the purchaser; and we have no doubt, from the facts and circumstances connected with these twe cases, that Mr. Lainac bas a formidable organiza- tion at bis back, of speculators and politicians, re solved at all hazards to revive this contraband African trafic within the Southern States, as a speculative enterprise and as a political move- ment, With the mere speculators, of course money is the great object; but with the politicians coa- cerned, the dissolution of the Union aud a grand Southern military confederacy, resting upon the industrial resovices of the African slave trade, are the paramount ideas. In this connection there cxn be no doubt that a very extensive po- litical orgavization already exists throughout twe cotton region of the South. The general pro- gramme comprehended in this movement is he most magnificent dimensions, It embraces: iret, the secession of the cotton States from the | Unioa, through the violent -animosities of the tion, inflamed, as it will be, to the the efforts to ree goverument suD- Afri trafic; secondly, t! 1 plan compreheads the absorption of fico, the Central American Sates and the | island of Cuba; end thirdly, the establishment over this aggregation of old States, aew ate 8 end ivlaads, of that great tro- al indastrial inst slavery agit t pitch, between party the an of this and b, to itor’ 1p itution, the African ei | tuade.

When we find the African slave traders in the South securely protected by public opinion against tbe federal authorities, and Southern public meetings deliberately resolving that “ali laws of the federal government iaterdicting th right of the Southern people to bring and import slaves from Africa are unconstitutional, null and void,” there is every reason te fear that there is mischief in this thing, which, in 1860, will shake: the Union to its foundations. Srate Ricurs—Imrorrant Decision ov Jupae Daty.—In the case of Moloney against Dows, where the plaintiff brought an action for damages sustained during the reigu of the last Vigilance Commitiee in San Francisco, the Court of Common Pleas, by Mr. Justice Daly, yester- day granted the motion of Mr. O’Couor, for de- fendant, and ordered a non-suit, sending Mr. Moloney out of court. Several other suits of the eame nature will share a similar fate; and in one view of the matter, such disposition of them is emivently proper. We have printed this very important decision in another part of to-day’s paper, and have only space to say a few words in relation to it. The decision is one of the highest consequence. Tf sustained by the highest tribunals of the State, to which we presume the case will be carried, aud if the same principle is maintained by the jndiciary of the other States and by the federal judiciary, the effect upon the relations of the citi- zens of the respective States of the confederacy will be very material and extensive. The ques- tion decided by Judge Daly is one of jurisdiction. The law for all the State courts to observe, if that decision be sound, is, that no State court can take cognizance of a civil suit for redress of any mere personal tort (wrong or injury) committed in another of the States of the confederacy, but that the tribunals of the State within which such assault was commitied have exclusive jurisdic- tion of such action. This ruling of Judge Daly is, we are informed, not supported by any ex- press decision made in either the State courts or the federal judiciary; end, indeed, the point, we learn, bas never before heen distinctly raised. Able and experienced lawyers, however, who have read the opinion of the Judge, maintain that itis sound law, and if sustained will tend more to es- tablish the principle of the separate and indepen- dent sovereignty of each State, except where such attributes have been yielded up by the fede. ral constitution, than any decision made since the adoption of that constitution. It will be noticed in this case that the injured party had two other legal resorts open to bim. One was to bring an action in the courts of the State where the injary was inflicted upon him. We are not to sesume that the State of California isincapable of measuring out exact justice to all her citizens; and if we assume the principle that we are to try all such cases here, we might have all the ruffians in Kansas coring here to settle their old difficulties by actions for assault in our courts, New York being a great contre— mercantile, social and political—we might, in time, see our courts continually occupied with suits between non-residents, while residen litigaris would only have the burden of paying for the expense of the courts withont the privi- lege of using them, In auother view of the mat- ter, Mr. Moloney might have sued as a citizen of the United States in a federal court. The seve- ra) States claim sovereignty so far as the reguia- tion of their internal affairs go, and it seems to be geod common sense, if not good law—and proper- ly taken they are identicnl—that the Slate of New York should not be catled upon to settle person- a} diMeulties between citizens of California oc- curring in that State. Of course reference here is made only to actions like that under review: Debts cr breaches of contract follow parties any- where, and to them alone, accerding to this de- cision, ean State comity he extended, Asa matter of convenience and a relief to our courts, already overworked, Judge Daly's deci- sion will be welcomed by the bar and be ap- proved by the public generally. The broad gronnd laid down in it as to State sovereignty willno doubt be amply di 4 throughout the country, and we look for of public opinion about it with no little curiosity, uuse0 ow Crry Rawnoaps.--The Legislature will be occupied to-day on the epecial business of the twenty new city railroads in New York and brooklya, which the friends of these constrne- tions are endeavoring to get through. There can be no doubt that the travel on our city roads is immense, and that they are a great addition to the comfort an@ convenience of the community ; but there is a reasonable limit even to comfort. it is pretty clear that many of the lines now ht to be established are mere jobs, got up for speculative purposes, and probably not more than three of them will be successful.

The election of Virginia is of uo sort of consequence ty any one unless to the partics concerved, and it makes no difference to the country or to ue whether Goggin or Letcher prove the victor in this fight of the politicians. The wheels of government will go on as usual, and the progress of the people will be all the same, whichever party may be successful.

Rar Communication wirnt Soiaiiaical the 24th inet. we published a telegraphic des- patch containing news from California by the Quaker City, which arrived at New Orleans on the 22d inst., with dates from San Francisco of ihe 5th. The Quaker City is on the Tehuantepec route, end as her destination is New Orleans, the telegraph necessarily brings ber news here first. The Illinois, on the Panama route, with dates to 5th also, was at Havana on the 25th inst., and we have today a telegraphic despatch with her news frem Charleston. That ship would be here now but for the accident to her shaft. Si- wultaneously with this intelligence we have anotber despatch from St, Louis coutaining news of the’4th inst. by the overland mait from San Froncisco, one day previous to the dates brought by the two steamers. Thus we have news from valifornia every few days, so often that people cease to take any more interest in it than they do in the news from any other State. When Texas became independent, news from that section pos- acesed great attraction; but the interest died away with the novelty and with frequent com- munication, and now we do not look for news from Texas more than we do from Maine. It is so with Caliornia, The only particular interest it has for us now is its gold. Ay THE LATEST NEWS. Our Special Washington Despatch.

To this our government bas no objection, #o far as vessels sailing under the American flag are concernet, but will old the visiting parties reeponsible for any misconduct or violation of our maritime rights. It ie not believed here that any Glibustering expedition is nuw ready to start for Cuba, as recontly reported. Tho most reliable advices are altogether contrary to the pro- vability of such a movement. The story is similar to tho programme of General Renau, promulgated months ago. The Attorney General, Secretary of the Treasury and Postmaster General were to day engaged in making out in- structions to the agent in Philadelphia, with regard to the Post Office, Custora House and Court House. Unless there shall be disappointment in making the gale of the lots which the law authorizes, the work of constrnction will rapidly progress. From information received here, it appears that the bu- siners of importing Africans ig far more extensive than heretofore supposed, and that arrangements for that pur- into the Southern States.
