The steamship Arabia, with intelligence from Europe to the 30th ult., arrived at Halifax early yesterday afternoon, but her news has not reached the Associated Press of this city. It will probably reach here in time for publication in our evening edition. Elsewhere will be found a statement from the Associated Press relative to the receipt of tele- graphic foreign news in this city. The Hammonia arrived at this port yesterday morning from Hamburg and Southampton, with Evropean files dated on the 26th ult. Our tele- graphic despatches from Farther Point, published on Monday, furnished news one day later; but the printed reports brought by the Hammonia are very interesting. An original draft of the treaty of Villafranca, as drawn up by Napoleon and the Em- peror of Austria, is given. His Holiness the Pope had issued a circular to ail the Powers of Europe, protesting against the action of the King of Sar- dinia and his agents in the cities of the church Napoleon had sent a special envoy to Rome, in order, a8 said, to mollify the feelings of the Holy Father towards Victor Emanuel. It is said that Pius the Ninth insists on being de faclo Pre- sident of the [Italian Confederation if he takes office. The people of Italy were in a perfect Maze of excitement, owing to the confused condition of affairs, Ancona had been restored to the Papal authority. A very graphic account of a journey to Garabal di’s headquarters fe given, with a personal description of the General, his officers and men, and a résumé of his present position. It was thought that serious differences would soon arise between Prussia and Austria in the German Confederation. Lord Lyndhurst had made another speech on the necessity of English national defences. The West India mail steamship Karnak arrived at the lower Quarantine yesterday morning, with pews from Havana to the 2d and Nassau, N. P., to the (th instant. When between Havana and Nas- sau the Karnak lost one passenger, who died of yellow fever. (Havana was decidedly affected from the disease, and many tvorthy American sea- men Lad been cut off by it, the names of two cap- tains and one mate being given by our correspond ents. Trade was very dull at Havana and freights had fallen. Sugars were at 7] a8 reals per arrobe for basis No. 12. Exchange on New York was 1} a 2 premium. The landing of coolies and African slaves continued at Havana, and a cargo of the last named unfortunates were openly carried to the interior in railway carriages alter they had been unshipped. The Spanishauthorities were disposed to deny the claim of Captain Symmes for salvage in the case of the bark J. J. Cobb, in sisting that she was an abandoned slaver and nota derelict vessel, Consul General Helm had, how- ever, met the arguments with vigor, The additional news by the Karnak from the Bahamas is unimportant, The New York Yacht squadron sailed from New London yesterday morning at eight o'clock, with a light breeze, for Newport. After leaving New Lon- don an exciting contest ensued between the yachts Julia and Kebecca, which terminated in favor of the latter. The Rebecca was the first.vessel to tarn Poiit Judith, which she did at a quarter before two o'clock. The squadron arrived at Newport at six o’clock, and will remain until Friday. A regatta will probably take place at Newport on Thursday. A report of the cruise, so fur, is given elsewhere. The Beard of Supervisors met last evening but did not transact any business of importance. Seve- ralmembers are enjoying the summer holidays. The Board adjourned to Tuesday next. The ser- geaut-atarms was directed to notify absent mem- bers to attend on that day. The investigation into the case of Dr. Thomas Ellis, charged with certain alleged swindling ope- rations, was continued yesterday before the police mag'strate. The investigation resulted in the com- mittal of the Doctor to the Tombs for trial. A report of the proceedings will be found elsewhere. At the Court Marshal of Major Cross yesterday, the application of the accused for sixty days to procure the attendance of a witness trom Califor. nia was recopsidered, and the fornter decision re- versed. A report of the proceedings will be found in another columu. The trot on the Eclipse Course yesterday after- noon between Flora Temple and Princess, mile heats, in harness, resulted in favor of the former. The time made was uuprecedented, the heats being respectively trotted in 2:234—2:22—2:23}, The gaits of cotton yesterday reached about 400 bales; the market closed steady at about 1230. a 12%c. for tolidmog uplands, chiefly at the inside igure.

Bot, iz apotber view, the opposition have obtained in eal Plections a footing from which they ntay exercise a powenc! influence in the Presidential contest. Upon the Congressional echedule they have gained a sufficient aumber of mi mibers fo cast the democracy into a bopelead hifi sity in the House of Repr sentatives, allow- ing the Jaiter all the anti-Lecompton faction, including Clarke and Haskin. The following table, though partly conjecta- cal, will afford the reader @ pretty fair exbibit »/ ‘be parties represented, their relative -treastt, und their possible divisions and combinations, in the new Houre which will assemble at Washing ton on the firet Monday in December next :— Repobhesns, . lor Democrats, 68 \oti Te comy py oushern opposttio North Americans, “yun House, Mojoray...... . From these figures it will be seen—first, that no party has a mujority of the House; secondly hat the republicans are within striking distance of a majority; thirdly, that the democrats ave ta a decided minority, including the anti-Leeomp- tonites; and lastly, that the Southern opposition party will hold the balance of power, The orcanizution of the House will include the election of the Speaker, the Clerk and the priat- In the Congress which assembled in Decem- ber, 1855, peither of the three parties represeni- d huving majority, there was adead lock of many weeka upon the struggle for the Speaker, which was finally settled by the plurality rule, under which Mr. Banks was elected. Next without apy appareat struggle, Mr. Cullom, of Ternessee, was elected Clerk, and Mr. Cornelius Wendell printer. Thus the organization to- cluded a republican Speaker, a Know Nothing Clerk, and a democretic printer, This looks itke 8 joint stock compromise, and from the slight re- sistance to Cullom and Wendell we are at liber. ty to aseume that there was a compromise, in- cluding the alleged cesh and lobby contrivuticas from Wendeli in bebalf of the general arrange- ment. But any such compounding will be exceeding. ly difficult in this new Congress, because of ite | timate connection with the Presidential ques tion. Thus, it may possibly fall within the power of the Speaker to determine the Pre- sidential issue upon a nice rendering of the rules f the House; thus, the House Clerk, with his patrovage, perquisites, aud uplimited trauk ing privilege, will be an important Presidential clectioneerivg agent cf his party; but the spoils and pluoder of the House prioting to the party securing it will be equal to an eleetioueering |! lobby fund of half million. H The republicans will doubtless, as in 1855, make a dead set for the Speaker; but the prize of the House printing will this time be too val- ‘sable to surrender tor the Speaker, except in the last extremity. Forney is understoed to be the anti-Lecompton candidate for printer; but this idea requires a fusion of the apti-Lecompton demvcrais with the republicans, which Mr. Doug- jas, the chief of the anti Lecomptea faction, may not be disposed to permit. The Souttiern eppo- sition faction wilt be apt to demand couc:ssions instead of granting them. So that, from every point of view, turn and twist it 4s we way, the organization of this next Congress promises to mark one of the most extraordinary, exciting and momentous party struggles in the biatory of he country. The results of this organization will go very far to determine she question whether we are to have two, three or four parties in the Presidential campaign. A fusion in the House of the anti-Lecomptonites with he republicans may work out a tuson of the Southern opposition members with the de- mocracy, and vice versa, A compromise between the democracy ana the anti-Leeompton members may precipitate a bolt of the Southern fire- eaters. Thus we see that the shaping of the Presidential contest will very much depend upon the combinations and divisions of parties aud factions in the work of orgauizing this new Con gress. And in this business the question of the admission of Kansas, with her stringent anti- slavery constitution, will warm up the excite ment among the fire-eaters to white heat. Another remarkable feature in these Southern elections is an opposition majority of the Con eressional delegation from Teoneasee. Thus, in securing this majority, the Tennessee opposition party may possibly have secured the winning card of the Presidential game should the final iseue be thrown upon the House. Indeed, it is evident that while the Southera oppos‘tion ele- ment in all these late elections have permitted their State candidates to go by default, they bave systematically labored to seeare the bal- ance of power in Congress, Io securing it they may have secured the balance of power upon the Presidential issue itself, and the sagacity of their tactics to ibis end may, in the sequel, be fully establithed.

By the artival of the steamship Hammouia at tbis port we have received the texs of che weaty ¢ Villwranca, which we publish in another olum. Jt does not materiatly @iffer from the coounts of it which had previously reaciied us, The only points which are either new or worded differently from former statements are the fol- lewing:— livsi—Iostead of having actually formed av Ttalian Confederation, the two sovereigns have ouly ugrecd to “encourage its creation;” which, however, considering who the bigh contracting patties ave, may be regarded as tantamouat to ny mplistment of the project. The princi- ple is settled; only the details remain for ar- avgement ai the Congress, Secondiy—“The two Emperors will cali upon the Holy Father to introduce indispensable re- forms inte his States.” This important point was not stated before. It is evident that it bas coauaved tro the mind of Napoleon, and is sub. servieot to the design of the Confederation, which we need ecarcely say is also exclusively his idea, and merely aeqaiesced in by the Einperor of Austria, We tearn further (rom the news reeeived by thts arrival, that not onby is the Pope willi accept the “honerary Presidency,” boi to be the “real aod bona side President,” notwiib- standing the bad fteling between his Hotiness and Vietor Emanneki The Confederation, wiict will be bared on ao written coustitution, wit! har monize the jarring intereste and embark ali w one common cause.

The re- sult was, that the confederation defeated Freder- iok m @ great and decisive batile at Leguago, the Emperor escaping in disguise from the field. A truee followed, and finally the treaty of peace of Constance, by which the Lombard republics were established in real independence. This peace preeented @ noble opportunity to. the Lombards of establishing a permanent federal anion of amali republice, a form of government congenial to Italy from the earliest ages. But the spirit of tuction aud long cherished -batred aud dark, im- placable revenge broke out, the union was dis- solved, and liberty, the peari of great price was lost. Subequent to this the League of Tuscany was formed in imitation ef the Lombard Con cent ILL; for in order to preserve the temporat dominions in Italy which had been wrested by force of arms from the German Emperors, the papal pelicy was to-enfeeble the imperial power by maintaining the freedom of the Italian re publics, In this League the cities of Tuscany ail united, with the exception of Pisa, and the nfluence of the Pope was far more strougly manifested in it than in that of Lombardy; for though the latter was formed in alliance with Pope Alexander HI against Frederick, there is no allusion to the ecclesiastical quarrel in the act of confederacy; it was rolely a war of na- twonal independence, whereas the Tuscan League was expressly formed “for the bonor and agegrandizement of the Apostolic Soe.’ The Guelfs of Lombardy, who hitherto always sapported the Popes, now supported Otho IV. in opposition to the Pope, because Otho wasa sonof Henry the Lion, the founder of the Brunswick line of the Guelfs, who married a daughter of Henry IL of Bnogland. Otho had veen Apporied in his election by the Pope, and so long as the Pope found him obedient, but no Jonger. The Gnelf asd Ghibelin parties both originated in Germany, in a dispute about a duchy. The Guelfs were the ancestors of Otho, and the name had become a patronymic in his family. Gbibelia is derived from a town ia Franconia, wheoce migrated the Franks, who settled in Frauee. The house of Swabia was considered in Germany as representing that of Franconia and the Ghibelins, while the Guelfi represented the Saxon line. But in Italy the Guelfs were the Pope’s party, and the Ghibelins the party of the German Emperors. In the case | of Otho tne Gueli# adhered to a name and a family rather than to a principle. The same Guelf family influence prevailed io British coua- cils in favor of Austria daring the late war in Itely. The diversion of the Italian Guelf party, however, irom their natural politics only lasted duriog the reign of Otho IV., and they again identified themselves with the cause of the Pope League, fell to pieces from the same causes, In the latter part of the fifteenth century another Italian Jeague was formed against foreign inva- tion between the republics of Vewice #od Flor- ence, the King of Naples aod the Dake of Milan. At that time all Italy was territied by the pro gress of the arms of Mabomet IT. aud the Tarks, tnd the efiect was union.

By this curious arrangement Neufcbstel, @ monarchy, was a member of a federal republic of twenty-two States. This was all ratified by the Congress of Vienna But it bas never appeared since that time that Prussia could control the Swiss Confederation. In 1848, indeed, the tittle principality threw off the Prustian yoke by revolution, and, declaring ive independence, became a republic. When the revolutionary spirit subsided in Europe, the King of Prussia tried bis band at a counter- revolution in Neufchatel.

How long wae it before our own federa! republie was abaped into an enduring form. If any one had proposed it in the beginning. as if now stands, he wouldshave been regarded as a lunatic, and very justly, for the people were not prepared for it. The Territories composing what are now called the United States formed several leagues and. confederations befere the final act of union, and the first was nedrly one bundred and fitty yeara before the last. ‘Thus, in government as well ae in othor things, experience aod necessity are the parents of in. veation, and those who would impose upon any people a govervment cut and dried, and without regard to the materials.of which the pepulation ane composed—their race, their education, their babits, their manners, their climate, their bis- tory, their prejudioes, thefr past aud their preseat condition—would ignore all the lessous ot that pbilovophy which teaches by example, and would be moro fit inbabitauts of Utopia, the mnaginary model country of Sir Themas More, than of any of the terrestrial kingdoms, empires. or republics of which we have over read or heard.

Mruitia DirricuLties.—Our uniformed militia. in this city may be ranked amongst the most perfect and best disciplined troops in the world. Whether on the parade orin the field, we will venture to say that some. of its regiments—the Seventh aud Seventy-frst, for example—wili stand comparison with any of the crack line troops ofother cations. This fact is the more remarkable when we take into account that these regiments are somposed of merchants. merchsute’ clerks and, storekeepers, who devote their time, money avd attention to military ex- ercises merely as a pastime. In this city the uoiformed militia constitute a bedy of from seven to ten thousand soldiers, forming a portion it wav founded had it complied with the desire to make its publications the medium of sectional views. The managers state their determination net to issue avy publications which evangelical pastors and churches, city missionaries and tract distributors, Sabbath schools aud Bible clasees, in all parts of the country, cannot unite in using and circnlating; and for the convenience of those persons in New England who may wish to co-operate in this plan of Christian effort, they announce that they have established at Boston a New England branch of the New York society, embracing an advisory commitiee and a corres | pouding secretary. Thus the abolitionist se- ceders will have gained but little by their move, When it is found how mach the mischievous prin- ciple which they have introduced in their opera | tious will ivterfere with the Christian objects of their aseociution, there ia no doubt that numbers | of the good, but fanatically inclioed persons, who have been led sway by the arguments of the | arch agitators in this unfortunate schism, will gladly return to their allegiance to the original constitution of the society. Anrxival OF THE Arabia at Hararax.—The | Arabia arrived at Halifax yesterday, with three | days laier news from Enrope; but owing to the | difficulty existing with the Nova Scotia Tole ereph Company the intelligence she brings has not yet reached us.

It has been suggested that a lay should be passed preventing generals aud field officers from holding their commissions for more than ten years, We thiok the idea au excellent one. and we recommend to the Legislature at its next session to pass some enactment by which this fruitful source of dissension and jealousy may be removed from our militia servi New York Polities.

Frerpom oF HE Pesiic Lanps.—There are a ret of uctive and well-intentioaed indi- viduale—philosophers and philanthropists we suppose they call themselyes—who have made a hobby of the public lands and homestead qaes tions, and who are coniinually writing to pablic meu to elicit opinions which they kaow well can never be turned to any practical accouut. Some years ago they resolved themselves into a society, and in a society they are determined to remain, though if asked to define the objects of their aesociatian they would find some diftioulty in doing so.
