As the first and most nece: gearautee for the paciilc intentions of the great Powers, Austria therefore Fequired that the disarmament of Sardinia should precede She Congress, und Great Britair—a good judge of the enor oF Stateaaud of political decorum—found the demand ge natural aod jugt that it made an official offer to effectu- Bioywith the co operation of France, the measure at Turin, The Paris correspondent of the London Herald, writing ‘op the 15th of Aprit, says:—France may answer consisteat- Ay with Wuth that abe is not ona war footing; but, then, ‘What are the facts?

Le Nord of Brussels aays:—The Emperor of the French, ‘Abough accepting as a fact the existence of the treaties of 1815, will bever congent to give them, by hia signaiu, new consecration. ‘The Constituionnel of Paris of the 13th of April, says:— According to an Italian economist « Lombard’ pays to Austria proportionally per head Str. 98c,, whilst aa Aus. trisn, Dobemian, Huvgarian, Yyrolean or a Croat oaly Peys on an average dir. 2c. With this system a pro- priotor in less than ten years pays into the Austrian trea. sury more than the real vaiue of hig estates.

After that delay their property will be co#ilecated / and gold without any regard to say mortgages which ) may be previously ou them.” This trick alone produced ) to the treasury a sum of 20,815,000fr. Altuough it is 1 Very cary to catablish what Italy bas paid to Austria, it is not s0 easy for Austria to tell us what sho bas done for Italy in return. The communes and the provinces are compelled (rom their owa resources tw assist the needy, keep up schools, repair and cut roads, and repair and build public edifices; and they feel but too happy if the imperial functionaries do not interfere and make ‘thom pay for them twice. The Memorial Diplomatique of the 14th ult., hoping for ® Peace Congrees, suys:—Ihe Powers interested appear very anxious to fix preeigely in advance the object aud the’ attributions of the Congress, for two important ree. sons. The firet thing to be done is to draw up the full powers which are to be given to the representatives. In } erder, in the first pisce, that there may not arise any dis. pute on the questions falling within the jurisdiction of the * Congress, the full powers must not allow any ambiguity ‘to exist; and clearnets aod precision will offer tne secoad and » le advantage of rendering the deliberations »more rapid and easy. 6 Courrier des Alpes of Chambery states:—Count de voor js said, wo are assured, to have employed singular * Gtanguage towards the principal authorities of our town who met him atthe railway station and congratulated him on his return from Paria. One of the authorities pete tohim of the misery which exists at present in \ ory; the Count replied, “It wil! be much worse in @short time.” This is, we repeat, strange language, and = es us that the Minister said either too much or too I The London Times, of tho 14th ultimo, observes:—If j Sardinia be competied to disarm, what is to become of the Digby inflammab™® and dangerous materials of which her armics are composed?

The fotlowing are the reasons aseigned to the depu- tes for the large sum set down for 1858:—Yoa will find in the tables sonexed to the Dill the justification of these eredits, which to a large amount went to the Ministers of ‘War and Marine. Thus op one had, the applicatione du- ring the year 1858 of the provisions of the budget of 1859, relative to the eitective force of the army, and the high of forave have caused an increase of expense of nearly 24,000,000f. inthe War Department. On the other hand@, the expedition to China and the sum ret apart for the traneformation of the fleet have caused an expenso ex ceeding 14,000,000f. to the Ministry of Marine.”” The London Times of the 6th of April aaid:—The preaont Emperor of the French is not a self-denying man. He could digert half.a. dozen crowns without the smaiiest in- convenience. The French, too, understand thoroughly how to organize dominion won by force of arma. Sve whet Italy waz when Eugene was at Milan and Joachim at Neplee! The gift of the Frenchman might be freedom, independence—call it what you will—but it was givea in the sternest form, and not without @ price. When Italy ‘was free and French, where were all the works of Italian art and the monuments of her ancieat glory? In the museums of Paris. ‘The Brussels Telegraph of the 6th ultimo, remarked:— . ‘The weak side of Austria ié the question of finance. Wi:h her formidable armaments she has created a state of thiogs which Jiows up more than two millions and a half of francs a day, and thoee expenses go on increasing. Op entering on the path of negotiations, the perspective in & budgetary point of view becomes positively frightful— 8 it shows nothing but ruin and bankruptey. The Paris Presse of the 19th ultimo contains the follow- ing:—Misfortune, which kills the cowardly and the weak, Strengthens the brave and the robust. It hag strengthen. ed tbe Italians. Italy succumbed in 1848, bat from her day of defeatgdates ‘grand moral and political triumph. ‘The insurrectional movement has been crushed, but the movement of the public mind has not been checked.

A letter from Turin of the 23d ultimo says:—The finan- cial position of this country has been in an unfavorable condition for geome time past. The failure of the silk, the confusion excited by the bursting of @ score of bubble : companies, and the last comme! crisis, all told heavily J on the prosperity of the country.

A Parie letter dated on the 17th ult. says:--No change haz taken place in the commercial position of France. Nor is any change exvected until the political horizon shall become more bright. In certain great manufactur- og towns, such as Lyons and St. Etienne, some activity still exists; bot it is confined to the execution of orders received previous to the Ist of January. It is the uncer- tainty that prevails wihch produces tho existing stagna- » ton. A defensive treaty bas been prepared between Balgium and Holland. The Belgian Minister of War, M.

At Fayuen the allied com- mancders occupied the Collogiate Hall, whieh had formerty been tho residence of the celebrated’ Fayuen commissioa- er8, who «directed the hostile movements of the past sa mer, About 500 of the troops were accommodated in temples within the city, and the others were evcamped on tho high ground outside the North Gate. To Fuyuen the road Jay almost due north, across a rich, but monotonous Plain, with little variation ‘of scenery. Further on, how- ever, it came on @ fine range of hill, which may often be seen from the beadquarters bil! at Canton. ‘The little city of Fayven itself is prettily situated at the entranoa of an amphitheatre formed by these hills, the highest ef which reaches an elevation of 1,500 feet. Its wails were baiit afver it was taken by the rebols in 1864, and so also were its public buildings, the old ercctions having been destroy- ed. Hence the city looks new and clean, though it is very Small, the walle not being more than three-quarters of a mile in circumference.

Condition of the Bank of France. {From Gatignaui’s Messenger, Aprit 16} Tt appears from the returns that the changes during the past month, ending 14th inst,, have been unusually alight. The discount avcommodation presents an increase ia Paris to the extent of only two miliione, and a dimunition in the bravch vans of only 4 millions. Tye metallicreserve hos felien off in Paris 243¢ mullions, and increased ia the provinces 1135 milions, Advances oa French securities bave risep haifa million in Paria, and three-quarters of @ million in the Departments. Advances on railway shares and bonds have increased both in Paris and in the branchea, 10 millione in the former and half a million ia the Jatter. On the side of the liabilities the notes in cir- culation ebow @o augmentation of 2334 millions. The ac- count current of the treasury has declined 123 millions, and private accounts of the same kind have also decreas- ed both in Paris and in toe Deparuments; in the former 16% millions, and m the latter 43 millions. The whole amount of the metallic reserve, at present, is 643% mil- lions, to 73634 millions of notes in circulation. The new shares, not liberated, are down for tho exceedingly small amount of 4,126fr., £0 that that item may be considerod ‘losed. THE NEWS BY THE NORTH BRITON. The steamship North Briton, from Liverpool April 20, arrived at Quebec yesterday morning. Her advices are ove day later than those brought by the Bremen, and are important. THE WAR QUEST! PACIFIC TONE OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT ORGAN. The Moniteur of the 19th ult. has an official article on the situation. It explains the bases agreed upon for the proposed Con- grees, and the present position of the negotiations, and says that France, willing to prove her conciliatory dispo- sition, promised to request Piedmont to disarm, on condi- tion that Piedmont and the other Itatian States be invited to take part im the Congress. It hopes this proposal will mect with the ‘‘unanimous consent of the Powers. France has even added that she is disposed to assent to a disarmament, previously tothe Congress, Everything, therefore, justifies the belief that if all the dif- ficulties are not yet removed,a definite understanding will ere long be established, and that no further obstacle wi}l oppose the assembling of the Congress. The Paris Bourse on the 18th was buoyant, and an ad vance of a quarter took place. On the 19th the Threes opened at a further advance of nearly 2 quarter, but re- ceded, closing flat at 67f. 65c. A rumor was circulated in London on the 19th that the Emperor Napoieon’s life bad been attempted, but obtained little credence, and was wholly unfounded. SARDINIA OFFERS TO DISARM. The London Daily News has the following despatch, dated Torin, 19th ult, :-— At a Counsel of Ministers held this morning, at which the King was present, it was resolved that, in order to give Europe notice of the desire of Sardinia to remove the difficulties which delay the meeting of the Congress, ‘Sardinia yields to the demand of England and France, and accepts the principle of disarmament, the details of which she leaves to be discussed in the Congress. THE FEELING IN ENGLAND. On the 19th, says the City Article of the London Daily News, the funds opened at a fall of nearly 3 per cent, the feeling of discouragement existing being increased by ministeriai statements on Continental politics. The down- ward tendency was, however, checked by the appearance in the Moniteur of another official note of a pacific charac. ter, but more particularly by the fact that the supply of stock afloat is limited. During the afternoon the market strengthened, and at the close firmness was induced by the statement that Sardinia had coneented to disarm. Consols finally left off the same asthe day previous. The drain of gold from the Bank, in payment of the sil- ver obtained from the Continent, continues. The amount withdrawn since tho «late of the last return, is about £260,000. ‘The London 7imes City Article says the Ministers’ state- ments caused the funds to open very heavily at 34 de- clive, at which they remained sometime, but the article in the Moniteur caused a rally to the prices of Monday. Lord Derby stated that Uefore finally abandoning all hopes of an adjustment, the British government had sug- gested one more proposition, tho nature of which he was not at liberty to state, The Zimes says this proposition is un- derstood to have been only despatched to Vienna on the 18th, and the answer has not been received. AUSTRIA’S WAR PREPARATION. The London Herald denies that Eoglish ships of war are to be sent to Trieste. All the routes leading to Italy are still covered with military convoys, and are monopolised for the public ser vite entire second Austrian corps d’armée has left to join the army of Italy, and the nomination of their new Field Marstials is spoken of, DISTURBANCES IN ITALY—CONDITION OP THE KING OF NAPLES, ‘The King of Naples had taken leave of his family and reoelyed the sacrament.

DISSOLUTION OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, Both houses of Parliament assembied on the 19th for the purpose of prorogation, The Queon’s epeech was read by, YORK the Lord Chancellor. It merely says that i is intended te dissolve Parliament forthwith, with the view to enable ‘the people to express, in the mode prescribed by the con- Mitution, their opinion on the state of puplio affairs’ tbanks the Commons for granting the necessary supplies, and concludes by etating that a dissolution has been ren- dered necessary by tho difficulties experienced in carrying on the public business, as indicated by the fact that, within @ little more than a year, two successive administrations bave failed to retain the comfidence of the House of Com- mons, and hopes that the result may enable the govern- ment to be conducted by a Ministry possessed of the confidence of Parlis..nemt and the people. Mr. Disraeli said that Parliament would be formally diseotved and writs issued for the new elections on the 23a, INDIA.

Barret, as representative ip the next Congress for St. Louis, would be contested by Mr. Biair, on the ground of fraudulent voting, he claiming that there were not so many voters in some of the polling districts as there were vote s cast. This charge has been set at rest by the result of the April election in that city for municipal officers, which shows a larger aggregate vote than in the previous one of August, ‘and also in the particular wards where Mr. Blair’s friends claimed that fraud had been used. This sets at rest the attempt of Mr. Blair to claim the geat of Mr. Barret im the next Congress.

SkvATOR Srrvo1s.—At a meeting of the Democratic City Committee of Brooklyn on Monday evening last, tho fol- lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted, aad a copy forwarded to Mr. Spinola. In the evening the honorable gentleman was honored with a serenade at the residence of Alderman Kershaw, in Hicks street, and upon oeing called for, delivered an eloquent speech, thanking hissup- porters for the compliment offered him, and reviewing his conduct in the Legislature, Renolved, That we regard the Inte arrest of the Hon, F.

Famore 10 OrGanize tHe Boarp or Atpenuen.—The new Common Council met last evening, in compliance with the charter. Mayor Powell presided; but only nine members out of nineteen answered to their names, where- upon the Board was declared adjourned for want of a quorum, An appeal was taken from the decision of the Mayor in declaring the Board adjourned, whereupon his Honor left the chair, and Alderman Scholes was selected as Chairman pro tem. As there was still no quo- rum the Board adjourned for twenty minutes. At the expiration of that time the Board re-as- sembled, & majority not being present, it was declared adjourned. The democrats, it seems, had not agreed upon their caucus nominatiops and so abeented themsclves in a body, leaving the Board unable to act. Their nominations for the principal officers, it is under- stood, are—Martin Kalbfleisch for President; William G. Bisbop for City Clerk; Alexander McCue for Corporation Counsel, and Moses Abbot for Keeper of the Hall. The “nominations of the republicans are, as understood out- side—For President, Jamea A. Van Brunt; City Clerk, Wm. M. Boerum; Corporation Counsel, Henry R. Piersou, and Keeper of the Hall, Alexander Cashaw. Tho democrats held acaucus Jast evening, and made some changes in order to secure the vpited support of all the members of that party in electing their candidates for the offices in the gift of the Board.

Tt was reported, previous to the commencement of the investigation, that various other parties, mostly receivers: of wtolen goods, and a broker in Wall street, had been duped to the amount of over $50,000 in a ike manner, and that geveral persons would be called ag witnesses. ‘They, however, did not appear, the reason being attri- Duted to their desire to wait the reault of Taylor’s case before they became known in the matter. Justice Welsh took his seat about half-past three o’slock, when the case ‘was immediately proceoded with, Mr. Spencer stated that he held a copy in this case from the Record of the Court, where one of the witnesses had served outo>w term in States Prison, and tnerefore claimed fuch a witners should not be allowed to appear against Mr. Hodgos: he argued that it was a conspiracy g0¢ up to black mui! Mr. Hodges, and on no other ground, Judge Welsh requested the counsel to make bis objec- tions when the witness was called, Wm, Braveh was then called’ and sworn—Knew Mr. Hodges, James H. Taylor, and Mr, Bradford; was in Mr. Hodges’ ofltoe the day Mr. Taylor catied; was in the front office at the time; saw the parties (Taylor and Hodges) in conversation; heard Mr. Hodges tell Mr, Taylor, m reve renee to the gold dust, “that be wonld have uo- thing to do with the matter, unless above board, and over his counter,” Mr. Taylor remained pot over five minutes, the conversation ‘was very brief; fam in the rea) estate business: have no permanent office; re- ceives my letters ut Mr. Hodges’ store; think Mr. Tayior was notin the small back room when the conversation occurred between him and Hodges; wey clove to the par- ties at the time; think Twas standing in the back office; did not hear Taylor call Hodges one eide when he came tn; knows Mr. Hodges’ writing (a paper shown witnees) | identifies the handwriting as that of Mr. Hodges: could not swear that I have ever seen Charles Radollit, now pre- gent in Mr. Hodges’ office; never heard the name of Ciark mentioned by Mr. Hodges: have known Mr. Bradford for some time; think I saw him iu the oifico after the conversation held between Taylor and Hodges ; Mr. Spencer hero acked that Mr. Billiuger be produced, as Mr. Taylor was now present and knew where he was. Mr. Stuart stated thas Mr. Billinger could be had in a fow moments and would eend for him. Mr. Spencer said bo did not intend to cross-examine him, but to only have him Sdentified 4s one of the party aI the person he alluded to. Judge Welsh said he would issue a summons for the im- mediate appearance of Billinger, and did go, John Hope was then sworn—Remember a men coming into Hodges? oflice and leaving a sample of gold dust, which he desired to sell; the sample wag about halfan oanco; tested jt and found it genuine; on the following day the same man catled, and he told me he bad a large quantity toa of; he stated that as L refused to purchase anv of it, he would be ovlyed to mo if I wontd direct him to fome one who woutd purchase; gave him the uame of Mr. Taylor, with several others, for him to cail upon; know Mr. Radcliff; be wasat one ume employed with Mr. Hodges; Mr. Hodges saw the man when he called the second time; advised with one o the clerks in Beebo & Co.'s establishment regarding the purchase of the gold; he aid the only true way was to have the gold assayed at once where purebased; think I have seen Rad- cliff im Hodges’ office three or four times; believe he is the man who tried to sell the gold dust; have pur- chased gold dust en many occasions; never asked any pereon before regarding the purchase of gold dust; con- sider myself a good judge; have no connection with Mr. Hodges in business; was not in the office when Mr. Tayior called to see Mr. Hotges about the purchase of the dust; understood that the man who wanted to sell the gold dust was only acting as ageot for the other parties; have often seen Wm. Tayior in Hodges’ office. Mr. Billwger was here produced by officer McElroy, of the detective force. Mr. Spencer asked to cross-examine Rillinger as to his competency as & witnere, Judge Welsh accordingly ordered the witness to be sworn. Billingor, who appeared to be about sixty years of age, stepped up and with a smile took the oath. Mr. Spencer—Where were you in 1854? Witness (laugbing)—Weli, you have caaght ma; rather asurprive; but to tell you ‘the truth, T was in Sing Sing on, and was sent there for two years for stealing from bert MoGuire. Mr. Stuart—Was not Mr. Spencer your counsel? Witness—I think not. (Langhter. Mr. Spencer (pointing to Judge Stnart)—He was tho Judge who sent you up, wasn’t be? Witnese—I think he was. (iaughter.) I was sent up for only taking a few shillinge whieh had no owner. Jadge Welsh, upon a motion of Mr. Spenser, thereupon ruled out the witness’ testimony, it being illegal. J. &. Bradford waz then called and croes-examined. Q. Wae you examined «few days ago in thiscaso? A. I decline to wer on the ground that I may criminate myself. Q. Then you will refuse to answer any quostion rela- tive to the case? A, Where it may criminate me. Mr. Chatfleld then asked that Bradford’s direct testi- mony be stricken out. Mr. Stuart cluimed that this could not be done; he had appeared before the Judge and made an affidavit of the facts. At that time he confessed knowieg ail matters connected with the affair, and he claimed that he had, if he refuged to anewer any questions, comiaitted perjury. Mr. Clinton stated that he hao but recently been called upon to defend Mr. Bradford. He (Mr. Bradford) had heen dragged into this ma'ter,and his aifidavit taken in ignorance of his own rights. “ Mr. Stuart claimed that Mr. Bradford was the {iret man who disclosed the facts, and that he went voluntarily to Deputy Superintendent Carpenter, of the police, and made known to lim, aleo informing of the policemen who got the $800 out of Taylor, For some cause he now declin ed to say one word in the matter, whicu was for no other reason than to protect others. Mr. Clinton desired to kuow if Mr. Bradford was not told that upless he did not make an affidavit be vould have to walk into State Prison. He requested the counsel to answer that, as it was in justification of his client. Mr. Stuart claimed he had not directed Mr. Bradford to take such a course under threats. Judge Welsh, after some little argument, decided to ruie out Mr. Bradford’s testimony, aad requested them to call their next witness. Mr. Speneer stated that there was no other witness, and he would move the discharge of Messrs, Hodges and Rad- ctiff, as nothing had been proven that they were impli- cated in the swindle. Judge Stuart claimed there was sufficient evidence shown thet ali the partios had conspired to do Mr. Tayior out of his money, and should be held to answer; he claim- ed that Taylor did not intend to do any wrong, nor was it disbonest to purchase the dust under the representations made to him. Mr. Clinton argued that there was no false pretence shown, in point of law, and the parties were entitied to their liberty. Judge Welsh decided that they should be discharged; and thus ended “ the gold dust swindle.’? Jersey City News.

Mach of this periodical shifting took place last weeks, but it culmis nated en Monday. ‘There hag been more moving this year thaa for several preceding oves. Some people, from circumstannea attend= ing the growth of the city, were forced to move farther up town; others, upon whom the emile of prosperity has beam ed, looked for grnoder and more retired places to enjoy tha luxuries of life; and othere who have mot with reverses of fortune judiciously sought out more economical homes im order to keep want from their doors. And, agwe, thera are others who have got tired of city life in New Yori who preferred to move over the rivers to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Staten leland and Hoboken, to escape the ex. citement of our great city, and back agaia from Brooklyn to escape the increasing rents over there. Auather, and, perbeps, a2 very cogent reason that caused many to move, was on account of the rise im rent during the past year.

Duryea’s March,” and ‘Carry mo back to old Virginia.’ During the intervals between the pieces there were several abortive attempts to got the Mayor to and many remarked that the thing looked pi and unenthosiastic. This was, however, calcu- lated to give éclat to the surpriao, for nd sooner had the Jast note of “Old Virginny” died away, than as if by magic, there arose spontancous echoes for Mayor Mayo, accompanied with an ‘Old Virginny” ga- lute, and vociferous cylls for tho Mayor, who finally advanced to the front balcony, and after the cheering had subsided, proceeded to address them. He expressed his hesrifolt gratitude for this re- ception, which be considered a compliment to Virginia, and pledged the old commonwealth to stand by Yor atallbazards.

The churca was full, The reverend genlteman spoke of Hayti as a glorious land, full of majesty and grandeur. Time would allow him to present but a few of the falient points in the history of that interesting and much calumniated people. It was oaly about fifty years ago that they threw off the iron yoke of slavery. It was true that fiendish passions were aroused, and tbat at times hell seemed to be loosed; but this was reaily the work of baptized Chris- tiang, and upon them the blame juatly rested. The Hay- tien Bation sprang, from a state of ‘and neathen- jam which bad been engendered and nouriebed by bap- tized Christians. They had only a superstitious - edge of the Reseemer. Little coult be expected from such @ pation, yet they had been blamed tor not making greater He was not sure the Haytioas bad made siow progress. The boasted Saxon race bad had a thoa- send years of civilzation, but tne Haytiens only ity years ago staried from worse taan nothing. In the savage he saw noble traits, but notin a stave, Tyranny unmens him, robe him of the dignity of dian- It was but feir, then, when speaking of the siow progress of that people, to compare their present can- dition with the point from which they starved. Toey bad gloriously acateved thoir liderty, and defended it. Yet the Haytiens have progressed.

When he ‘iret arrived in thas country, where the French language alone is used, he found himself weak in tbat language, and he was indebted to a genuine gon of Africa for thorongh and compleie ivetruction in vbat language. He had establisced a gchool at Port au Prince, in which they bad now several pro- fessors, of different sbades and compiexion, sod the professor of mathematics was a pare- blooded African. He mentioned these instances to show that the African race is capable of the bighest intellectual deve- Jopement and culture. It was true that as a.nation Hayti was in arrears in almost everything; but they must not forget that the nation wa still young. ' Tae Haytiens were charged with a want of stability; but he beard of enlight- enet! nations where explosions were constantly dreaded. The secret of this was a want of moral princtple—of the love of God shed abroad in the heart. He was no friend of revolution; but he could not concede that it wasagainst the character of the Haytiens that they have had revolu- tion after revolution. It did not show a want of intelli- gence in a peop'e to struggle against uorighteous laws. Great injustice and oppression was under the Haytien empire. They felt that their prospects as a nation were biasted and all their interests destroyed by such a government. They did not desire to see blood- but they desired to go forward; and in going for- ward boldly, the system fell, and it was to thelr credit that they had overthrown’ it.
