The steamship America, which left Liverpool on the 14th and Queenstown on the 15th ult. for Hali- fax, had not arrived at the latter port up to eight o'clock last evening. She will bring foar days later European news. At the meeting of the Almshouse Governors last evening proposals were received from various par- ties to destroy rats in the city prisons, which were referred to the committee on those institutions. A number of bills for sundry supplies to the institutions contracted for last year came up for approval, and were referred to the Committee on Supplies if they were found correct, and also several for refresh- ments contracted prior to the resolution Mmiting the cost of them in future to $250 a year for each member of the Board. The resolution to change the deposits of the Board from the Merchants’ to the Shoe and Leather Bank, which was lost at the last meeting, came up for reconsideration, and was laid on the table for three weeks. Gover- nor Breunipnghausen moved that the Governor and Legislature be invited to visit the institutions, but pending the discussion on the motion the Board adjourned. The number in the institutions now is 8,394—an increase of 122 during the week. The Aldermanic Committee on Streets met yes- terday to hear parties onthe subject of widening Ann street from William to Gold street. At the request of a number of property owners who were present, however, they adjourned for a week with- out taking apy action. A remonstrance, which was brought for presentation by the opponents of the project, was signed by a number of parties while it lay on the table. ‘The cottou [market yesterday was rather tame, while prices were unchanged. The sales embraced 1,000 bales, on the spot, closing ou the basis of quotations given in another column. Flour was heavy and inactive, while prices were unchanged.

Let them have funds— what would a million of dollars be, in such a cause, to the city of New York?—and let them flood the entire North with newspapers which shall counteract the poison of Helper’s pamphlet, and the incendiary press, which the black republicans have at their command. If this is done, and if other necessary measures are adopted, the words “ irrepreseibfe conflict,” and the sad consequences they have engen- dered, will have become a matter of past his- tory, by this time next year.

It must have become apparent, by this time, to the most superficial observers of the politi- cal horizon, that there never has been a more critical period in the history of the United States than the present. Every intelligent citi- zen knows that the existence of the Union, in its integrity, will depend upon the issue of the next Presidential election in November. If William H. Seward, or any other standard- bearer of sectional discord, is elevated to the Chief Magistracy, it is logically and morally certain that the bands which unite the States together will be rent asunder with bloody violence, and that an “irrepressible conflict” — a war of extermination—will ensue between the North and the South.

The next question taken up was as to the manner of selecting delegates. Some members of the committee were in favor of the Congressional district system, while others advo- cated the appointment of delegates by State Con- vention, and finally the latter plan was adopted by murders and treason? There is, in the Northern and Central States, a great corps de reserve of over eight hundred thousand conservative, law abiding, indus- trious, honest citizens. Their strength in the State of New York is overwhelming. They constitute the vast majority, as well as the pro- vote of nine to four.

Their leaders are either rowdies and effete, mercenary and proposed European Congress will not meet. With the Pope determined on maintaining his political pretensions, and Austria, Naples and Spain prepared to support him, its deliberations would be the merest farce. The pamphlet of M. de Laguerroniere has, in faet, knocked in the head all chance of concert between its members, and the Italian question will have to settle itselt after the best fashion that it can. It is well for Italy that thisis so, The greatest danger that she had to fear was a diplomatic arrangement of her affairs. Her safety lies not in a formal and limited recognition by Europe of her rights, but in such a broad assertion of them as the jealousics of the continental Powers will enable her to make. Fortunately the sta- tionary political ideas of the Roman Court and of Austria have aided her in her efforts of self- regeneration. Those Powers, like the Bourbons, have learned nothing, and will learn nothing, from experience. The civilization of the age has swept by them, leaving them fixed and im- movable as rocks in their views of the political destinies of nations. As they sow they must reap, and, therefore, it is out of their stubborn- ness springs a glorious prospect for the future of the Italian people. According to all appearances the fate of Popedom as a member of the European comity of governments is sealed. The pretensions that it continues to assert are now generally admitted to be inconsistent with the progress of rational ideas, and as it will abate none of them, it must die the death of all effete institu- tions. Were the Pontiff and his advisers men of sense, they would see that the time has ar- rived when the Papacy must re-enter within the original conditions of its existence, and as it stood for the first three centuries after its foundation. Before the concessions of Charle- magne it possessed none of the temporal attri- butes and endowments to which it now clings, and yet it held as complete a dominion over men’s souls. The policy of those grants at the period they were made is not to be disputed. The Catholic church was then the great agent of civilization, and it occupied itself in repair- ing the ravages which the irruptions of the barbarian hordes had effected. It was wise, it was politic, to give to it such temporal aid and support as could alone enlist the respect of populations to whom force was the only rule of government. At present it stands in a far different position. It resembles literally one of those ancient landmarks, the objects and uses of which have passed away from men’s memories. It has no root in their affections; it has no place in their belief. Even those who bow to the spiritual rule of the Pontiff refuse to recognise in his temporal pretensions any claim to their respect or obedience. What wonder is it, then, that in this changed condition of Catholic sentiment, and with the spectacle before him of a brave,'a gallant and an intellectual people suffering rank injustice and oppression from the toleration of this worn out and emasculate but not the less des- potic system, a second Charlemagne should conceive the idea of taking back what his pre- decessor gave, and restoring to Italy what she had lost by priestly encroachments? Such, there is now no doubt, was the plan of Napo- leon from the moment in which he first an- nounced his intention of unfurling the banner of Italian independence. It is doing his saga- city injustice to suppose that he ever contem- plated stopping short of the measures which were necessary to effect the liberation of the Roman people from the iron despotism under which they were groaning. He made the treaty of Villafranca simply because it be- came necessary to detach England and Prussia from the interests of Germany, which would certainly have taken part with Austria if he had proceeded further with the war. He has not only succeeded in this object, but, by a skilful series of diplomatic manceuvres, he has enlisted the support of the Protestant Powers of Europe in the somewhat delicate task of strip- ping the Pope of his temporalities. By his proposition of a» Congress he has placed the Pontiff under the necessity of either consent- ing to his own destitution or of accepting such terms at the hands of his subjects as they choose to accord him. The result in either case is the same—the complete and entire extinguishment of the political rights and pretensions of the Pope, now@tnd forever. To Italy he has given that for which she has been yearning for so many centuries—a national existence and aa independence fortified by the lessons she has learned and the sacrifices that she has made. Who will dare quarrel with the solution thus given to the Italian and Papal questions? Not Austria, for she trembles for her own integ- rity, menaced as it is by the spirit of internal disaffection and diseontent; not Spain, for she quakes beneath the frown of her powerful neighbor; and certainly not Naples, for she has as much as she can do to maintain her ewan equivocal position before Europe. To the maa who has accomplished all this sagaciously, perseveringly and determinedly, is there not more than ordinary honors due? That which other sovereigns have undertaken for their own political aggrandizement he eooma to have performed simply for the glory magne the First did much for human progress by his liberal endowments of the Papacy, our modern Charlemagne has accomplished still more for it by stripping Rome of the gifts which she has turned to such evil account by using them forthe encouragement of despotism and the enslavement of a brave and generous people. Forcery Derectep anp Exrosep,—Under this heading the veracious editors of several ob- scure papers, proclaim to the world that the editor of the Heratp is “Jack Ketch,” a “demon,” a “midnight incendiary,” an ‘“un- scrupulous eavesdropper,” a “naked deformity” «“disturber of the peace of innocent families,” a “convicted forger,” who, on the whole, de- serves ‘to be consigned to the darkest cell of « penitentiary dungeon for the remainder of his life.” This is pretty well, though unequal to the obscene outpourings against the Heratp of “little villain’ Brick, who discovered the “sympathies of youth” in the “elbows of the Mincio.” It beats Aminidab Sleek, who de- troys the force of his billingsgate by the prosi- ness of his diction. It far surpasses, also, the diatribes of the scribes of the Albany Regency, who are too mercenary and mean to be gene- Tous even of abuse. The crime which one of these popguns in Washington attributes to the Heratp, is that of “imposing his voluminous Euro- pean and Washington correspondence upon the public as genuine,” whereas strong suspicions are entertained that “there is not a shadow of a doubt that it is manufac- tured in the Heratp office itself!” With- out analyzing the Hibernicisms of our plucky little contemporary, what an astounding jour- nal the Hxratp must be! Members of Con- gress rise in their seats and wonder how the Herp reporters, of whom we have five and sometimes six in that dity, managed to obtain such exclusive and accurate knowledge of se- crets, which they imagined to be locked up ‘in their own breasts. Politicians abroad—in Lon- don, Paris and Berlin—marvel that the infor- mation they obtain from the New York Herp, written from their own cities, conveys to them, frequently, State mysteries, concern- ing which they otherwise could have had no cognizance. It is notorious that the cor- respondence from abroad, of this paper, not seldom contains the very news, by one steamer, which is confirmed by telegraph, as “very latest’ by the next. The detailed accu- racy of our statements is almost invariably cor- rect, no matter from what part of the world it may have been obtained. That is, if itis obtained from the world at all! Who knows but the Hrratp may have employed, for the general benefit of civiliza- tion, a whole battalion of Satanic volunteers, who, circling the earth with greater speed than that of Puck, bring in daily, from Pekin, Japan, the Feejee Islands, St. Petersburg, Rome, Naples, Copenhagen and Rio Janeiro, bulletins which the leas enterprising presses of the world only get weeks later? Or, how if the Atlantic telegraph cable is already laid, with wires con- necting from every great city in the world, into the very heart of our sanctum. We do not much blame our petty neighbor in Wash- ington for what he calls a “brutal attack” and “ the coarsest conceivable abuse,” for he knows no better. His eyes can no more follow the flight of the Heraup, than those of an owl could that of an eagle. Tae Sexate Comurrreron tae Brows Raww.— It seems more than possible that the Investi- gating Committee of the Senate will find some difficulty in procuring reliable evidence as to the parties connected with the John Brown conspiracy. Enough, however, has been ascer- tained to show the necessity for sucha com- mittee, The conspiracy was evidently a care- fully concocted plot, well prepared before- hand, known to a large number of promt- nent black republicans, and failed utterly be- cause of the fidelity of the slaves to their masters, If John Brown had been joined by any considerable number of negroes, and had made a stand fora few days until reinforced by his friends in Ohio, Northern New York, Vermont and Massachusetts, the conflict would have beena very serious one. As it was, it worked a great deal of mischief, and it is the duty of the government to collect all the facts on the subject and lay them before the coun- try. Let us know who are the traitors in fact and act, who are their accessories, and what prominent men, Senators it may be, have been guilty of misprision of treason. So far the Committee has done its duty well. In the case of Arny we see that he complains because he was not permitted to give his version of the Pottowatomie mas- sacre, in Kansas, when Brown and several others took the Doyles out of their beds at night and murdered them incold blood. Arny desired to relieve the memory of Brown from the odium of this crime; but the testimony was proper- ly ruled out—first, because the Committee is not investigating the Kansas matter, and | second, because all the evidence of all the Ar- nys in the country would not wash out the stain from Old Brown’s name. Without doubt the Doyles fell by his hand. So says the widow, who ought to know. Meantime, two important witnesses, Fred Douglass gnd Sanborn, have dis- appeared. Fred is being petted and féted by the old dowagers of Exeter Hall, and Sanborn is supposed to beonthesea. Hyatt says he will not testify, and Giddings and Redpath may as- sume the same attitude as that taken by Hyatt. The Committee will not, however, be deterred from the investigation by the obstinacy of these persons, who are seeking the empty honors of sixpenny martyrdom. They had better do one of two things—either tell the trnth, or else follow Sanborn and Douglass across the sea. If they would only stay abroad every one here would be delighted. Meantime, we wish our British cousins much joy over their acquisition of American exiles, white and black. Tae Prrviiece oF Jossixe Monopouwep BY THE LeGistaturE.—The extensive scheme of railroad jobs which the Common Council of this city and its fellow conspirators had in contemplation, is knocked on the head by the Legislature, who have taken all power out of the hands of the Common ‘Couneil, and from the property owners, as to city railroads, and vested the power solely in themselves. They came to the conclusion, with the ald of the lobby, that it was too good a thing to leave with the Common Council, and too good a thing to permit the property owners to have anything to eay about it. They have monopo- lised the gigantic job themselves, and saon we want New ReGtLation wirn Reaarp ro Postage on Newsrarers.—It has been our oustem for some fifteen years past to print upon the wrappers of the Hxraup sent to our sub- scribers a notification of the time when their subscriptions will expire, in order that they may have an opportunity of remitting the amount in time to preserve the continuity in the receipt of their papers. This custom was a convenience to our subscribers; bat it appears that the new Postmaster General, Mr. Holt, has discovered that this is in contraven- tion of the Post Office law, and declares that all papers having such notice printed on the wrapper—though open to every one to read— shall in future be charged letter postage. This obstacle to the free distribution of the newspaper is in strong contrast to the system pursued in France and other European coun- tries, In France the newspapers are not re- stricted in this fashion, either for home or foreign circulation, and we are not surprised, therefore, to find the ‘ndependance Belge com- menting upon the Postmaster General’s order asa curious instance of the manner in which the liberty of the press is restricted in this free country. The prohibition of Mr. Holt in this respect is a matter of very little importance to us, for we shall only be compelled to send a circular to each subscriber at the small cost of a penny each; but it strikes us that we should not be behind France and other monarchical na- tions in the matter of liberality im the circula- tion of newspapers, at this day the most im- portant mental pabulum of the people.
