That Convention was com- posed of the legitimately elected delegates of the people. Its voice only could he legally ac- cepted as the voice of the people; and whether the delegates had been false or true to their trust, the President had no other course to pur- sue than to submit their action to the decision of Congress. Whether, being in this position, Mr. Buchanan should have done what the law obliged him to do, energetically and effectively, or lukewarmly and inef- fectively, is a question which every man will decide according to his own particular bias, but not a few will honor the President for endeavoring to do his duty with all his might and energy. * - The interest of Covode and the black repub- licans in this personal attack upon the Presi- dent is a purely selfish interest. They hope, by conniving at the personal malice of Forney, Hickman, Haskin, and a few other of the disap- pointed spoils hunters, against Mr. Buchanan, they will secure their services directly or indi- rectly in bebelf of the Ohtcuguy numinations during the coming campaign. In this they count partly upon the the sentiment of grati- tude on the part of Forney & Co., which is about as strong as a rope of sand, and part- ly on the fact that by giving them. full swing in their attack on Mr. Buchanan, they will do so much that their return to the demo- cratic camp will be impossible. They know Forney & Co.’s love for kitchen condiments too well to believe that they will stay out in the cold while there isa kitehen they can get into, no matter who stirs the pot. i Lesienr pail as ae this city at halt | was referred to the appropriate committee.

All day the bulletin was sur- rounded with an earnest, anxious crowd, and nothing else was talked of but the fight. The Charleston Convention was altogether in the shade. The name of Mr. Heenan was in every mouth, to the exclusion of that of Mr. Douglas, while Mr. Sayers’ drove all thoughts of Mr. Hunter from the public mind. It appears that Heenan was taken before the magistrates at Derby on the 7th instant; that he apologized for any naughty words that he might have used with regard to the magis- trates. Heenan’s counsel hoped the Court “would be guided by the station in life of the parties in America—Heenan was a black- smith—and make the bail as light as possible.” The Court made it fifty pounds, whereupon there was “loud applause.” The Court stated that the injured infant of Benicia could not be again molested by the law, unless he actually broke the peace. There seems to have been some dispute in sporting circles as to the cause of the arrest; but it was at last decided, as in the case of railway accidents, that nobody was to blame. It is probable, then, that before this time the fight has come off, and we ought to have the news in a day or two. By Thursday of the preeent week the public may be relieved from its suspense and informed . upon whose head the eagles of victory hover. : In view of the new aspect which has been given to the affair, we make haste to award due Our Special Washington Despatch.

THE INSTRUCTIONS TO MR. M’LANR WHILE MINIGTSR TO CHINA. Although the instructions to Mr. McLane, as Minister ta China, issued more than six years ago,have just been made public, they are considered by statesmen here as interesting, in view of the fact thas they are im ac- cordance with the policy pursued by the ad- ministration, through him, towards Mexico. As to Chins, he was entrusted with Jarge discretion and advised to es- tabliah “‘the most unrestricted intercourse between thas empire and the United States. It was considered most desirable that any commercial treaty be might be able ta conclude should provide not only for reciprocal free trade in all articles of the growth, produce or manutac- ture of either nation, but for the . transportation in vessels belonging to each. Should the revolutionary movement be succeasful and the political power of the country pags into other hande,” the instructions com- _ tinned, “ you will, at your discretion, recogrize the government d+ facto, and treat with it as with the existing government of the country.

People who walk about the world with their eyes shut see nothing in this contest but a yulgar and brutal en- counter between two bruisers; but we believe it has a very great bearing upon our foreign relations generally, and our British cousins particularly. Is it not highly probable that some very exalted personages at Washington end in Downing street are at the bottom of all this.disturbance? Is it at all likely thata mere prize fight, the chosen amusement of the scum of the community, would attract so much at- tention as this affair unless there was some- thing important behind it? We have had two wars with England, and among many of our people there is a hereditary inclination to pitch into the British Lion on the smallest possi- ble pretence. On the other side, there are not wanting persons who, through absurd jealousy, would be glad to cripple the young republic. But war is like hot-house grapes and early strawberries—too expensive a luxury for com- mon folks, and so the bad blood has no oppor- tunity to get out, and it poisons the whole sys- tem more or less. It would be idle to deny that everybody here secretly hopes that Sayers may be well thrashed; while on the other side, we have no doubt that the four estates of the realm ‘have a similar feeling with regard to the Yankee Vulcan. And who can say that the whole affair has not beenfgotten up with the knowledge and assistance of our govern- ment at Washington and the British Cabinet? Who knows that the Prime Minister of England and the Secretary of State of the United States have not, by their emissaries, secretly en- couraged this affair as the cheapest and best way of settling up old scores between the two countries—getting rid of all the bad feeling, and taking a fresh start, with nothing but ami- cable relations? Who knows that this new movement in diplomacy has not been arranged by the Qhevalier Wikoff, whose astonishing coups. have helped Lord Palmerston and the Emperor of the French out of many a tight place before to-day? Can our military and diplomatic cotemporary, the Chevalier Webb, enlighten us on this point? Queenstown, which reached Portland a few hours earlier, we have European dates to the 12th inst. Heenan, the pugilist, was admitted to bail on the 7th by giving his own recognizance in £50, and find- ing two sureties of £25 each. It was thought the fight would come off'on the 16th. Anattempt was made to procure the arrest of Sayers, but the magistrate at Newmarket refused to back the warrant, alleg- ing that it would be an arbitrary stretch of power. From Sardinia we learn that the King was about to make a tour through his dominions. We give the Pope’s bull of excommunication in full. A‘Ercat anti-Anstrian demonstration had taken place in Hungary. The police did not interfere. The insurrection in Naples is said to be spread- ing. A concordat had been concluded betweem Spain and Rome. We give the text of the Preliminary Treaty of, Peace between Spain and Morgcco. Gen. Ortega and other persons of “distinguished rank” were said to have been arrested. ceived by Comptroller Haws for the Croton water stock of the year 1854. Bids were de- manded for $228,900 of this stock, redeemable in 1875, at six per cent interest, and the call was answered by proposals for $1,338,200 worth of it—all of that sum, except about $50,000, being above par. Notwithstanding all the corruptions of the Legislature, which have saddled the State and this city with an im- mensze debt, or the corruptions of the Corpora- tion, which result in the expenditure of nine or ten millions a year and an unbearable burden of taxation, we find that there are parties enough who have so much faith in the credit of the city that they come forward with a million and a quarter of dollars to purchase a quarter of a million of Water atock, and are not only willing but anxious to get it at six per cent per annum. Surely this must be the result of our im- mense progperity and wealth. It looks as if it would require the Corporation to increase the debt of the city toa hundred millions, and the Legislature to increase the State debt to a hun, dred millions more, before the people who have money to invest can be waled up to the fact that the credit of either city or State may pos- sibly fail one of these days, under the crushing influence of corruption, fraud and extrava- gance on the part of the governing bodies. In Wall street to-day, money, with an abun- dant market, is worth only five per cent on safe investments. In London the bank has raised the value of money to five per cent, andit is tight at that; thus showing fhat the wealth of the merchants of New York and that of the merchants of London approximates an equal standard in relation to labor. The tibe- ral proposals for the Water stock furnish an- other striking evidence of the abundance of Money .and its relative depreciation in this city, notwithstanding the financial panie and the gross extravagance and misgovernment of our legislative bodies.
