By the arrival of the Niagara at Halifax we have news from Europe to the 3d inst., three days later than the accounts brought by the North Briton, and we have by the arrival of the mails of the latter vessel further details of her news. The entrance of Garibaldi into Palermo is con- firmed. At last accounts the bombardment of the city by the royal troops was going on. The reply of the Chinese to the ultimatum of the French and English propositions had been re- jected. . There was no change of importance in the Lon- don money market.

The Lon- 4on Post objects to Heenan’s having a champion’s belt because he has never fought but two battles, in one of which he was whipped and the other was a draw. ‘The steamship Karnak, Captain Brownless, from Havana the 6th, and Nassau, N. P., the Sth instant, arrived at this port yesterday forenoon. By this arrival we have received some further particulars of the recent battle between Uraga and Woll at Guadalajara, in Mexico, confirming the intelligence already published in regard to that event. (General Urags, it is said, has been mortally wounded. Bome accounts state that he was not captured, but General Woll’s despatches, which will be found elsewhere, if not forgeries, settle the question, as well in regard to that fact as the battle itself. A conducts from Zacatecas had arrived at Tampico, and another was expected soon from Guanajuato. There is no news from Havana, and our items of news from the British West Indies are very meagre Rain was very much neededat Bermuda. The pota. to crop generally has failed in consequence of the unusual warmth of the winter weather. The Cunard Steamship Company had offered most advantageous terms for conveying a semi-monthly mail between Jamaica and New York, which it was believed would be accepted. Our Nassau correspondent mentions the fact of President Buchanan having sent there the sum of money with which to reward the brave fellows who rescued the crew of the Charles Thompson. In Congress yesterday the Seaate passed the bill Yor the relief of Anson Dart, late Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Oregon. The Chairman of the Finance Committee reported the House Tariff bill, and moved to postpone the subject till the second Monday in December. The motion will come up for consideration to-day, and the vote on it will dispose of the tariff question for the present session of Congress. The bill making appropriations for legislative and executive objects was taken up, and an amendment moved tacking the $20,000,000 loan to this bill instead of the tariff bill, and ex. tending the time of funding the debt to five years, instead of two years, provided in the Tariff bill, After considerable discussion the amend. ment was agreed to by a vote of 29 to 1% The House took up the resolutions from the Committee on Naval Expenditures, concern ing the President and Secretary of the Navy for the action with reference to certain coal and timber contracts, and after an animated debate the teaolutions were adopted. ‘The Emigration Commissioners reeeived a report from the special committee appointed to negotiate ‘8 loan with the Mutual Insurance Company, on the security of the Seguine’s Point property, at their meeting yesterday. The report stated that they had been offered $7,500 on the property by the insurance company. The subject was referred back to the committee, with power. The Presi dent of the Board informed the members that the claims of Dr. Jerome for arrears of salary were in- valid, and that the office of Physician of the Marine Hospital had ceased on the removal of the Quarantine from Staten Island. This he stated on “high legal authority,” the opinion being furnished by counsel to the Quaare ¢ Comnis sioners. The number of emigrants arrived during the week is 2,514, making a total of 41,131 for the past year. The commutation balance is now 930,666 88 The Excise Commissioners granted six licenses yesterday for $30 each. The Police Commissioners at their meeting yes- terday removed from the force S. A. Berley, of the Kighth precinct, for violation of the rules and re gulations of the department. It was agreed that hereafter all cloth used by the members of the force for uniforms should be procured of the Com malesioners, at headquarters, in order to prevent dif.

The members of the Richmond Convention have nearly all gone to Washington to await the opening of the Baltimore Convention, and the political managers of the several candidates in training for the race for the nomination are busily looking after the condition and chances of their favorites. Ever since the break up at Charleston, the several cliques have been trying to intimidate their opponents by a desperate system of brag- ging, and the exhibition of a feigned confidence in the strength of their combination, in the hope of frightening them into a surrender. The whole of this process isa sham, and it can never attain the result the parties in the fight hope for. Like desperate gamblers as they are, the politicians who are to meet at Baltimore are impressed with the idea that the government of this country for the next four years is a pool which is to be won by 4 game of brag, and that if they can by any means induce their opponents te give up the game, the only thing they have to do is to sweep the prize into their own pock- ets. They forget that, though the contending players do not see the hands that their several opponents possess, the whole country sees their strength and that of their adversaries, and knows very well that sll their confidence is assumed, and that when we come to the real showing of hands in November, not one of the now bragging claimants for the nomination at Baltimore possesses sufficient strength to se- cure the victory. In such a state of things the victory of either of the contentious cliques in the Convention will insure defeat for it in No- vember. One or other may outface all antago- nists by a pertinacious confidence in itself; but the whole country sees the respective weaknees of each, and knows that it is only by the union of all that any real strength will ex- ist in the democratic nominations, and the State be saved from the misrule, anarchy and ruin “Phe RoAMARdn radical section of the black republicdit® most the adoption of the revolutionary theories of Spooner and the destructive ideas of Helper, by all the leaders of that fanatical organization, and the light of hatred and ferocity which the speech of Sumner has thrown forward over the path that party will pursue in the event of ob- taining possession of the government, have all contributed to alarm the national sentiment, and lead it earnestly to desire a cessation of the personal quarrels of the democratic leaders. All interests among the people desire to unite and meet the one great issue which the black republicans have forced upon them. The popular heart recognises the fact that the revo- Intionists must be put down. Men of sense see what the contentious politicians will not recog- nise: that if the old democratic organization does not continue its existence to meet the pre- sent crisis, its several fragments will be useless and powerless for that purpose, and the triumph of Lincoln will be inevitable. Such a result leaves no hope for the old democratic leaders. They will be left without a party, without power, and consequently without followers. Now that the delegates and political man- agers are in Washington, they could not do bet- ter than to have a little common sense exami- nation of each other's real strength in the party. If they will do this, they will come to a know- ledge of facts that we have for some time known. The honest partisans of the several candidates will see how they are all tricked by the political gamblers ; how each set is counting upon promises of support that have been made to all alike, and will be kept with none; how they have been deceived, and their feuds with each other kept up and embittered, for pur- poses in which they have no part, and how they have all been reduced to the condition of mere pawns, which are pushed hither and thither, to further projects in’which they do not and never can participate. We do not address this advice to any one clique, nor do we make any exception. in its application. We say to all who have been striving in favor of any par- ticular candidate—to Davis men, to Douglas men, to Guthrie men, to Breckinridge men—you are deceived, youare betrayed, and you will be sold, and your price will be claimed by those who have eo artfully contrived to heighten your mutual anger, #0 that you shall not too soon come to a knowledge of their faithless promises to you all. On Monday next you are all to meet at Bal- timore. If you do not learn at once the truth of what we now tell you, you will become con- vinced of it when it will be too late to recede, and when anger will only serve you for the ignoble purpose of revenge. Not one of you possesses strength enough to achieve of your- selves the nomination of your candidate, and if you succeed through the selfish and corrupt efforta of the political gamblers who hope to control the nomination, the very fact of your alliance with these will defeat you when you come before the people. These political echeme's bave no real strength there, You have a}! some second choice, some honest, con- servative, national mao, who has not taken part in the bitter courses that have marked your conduct towards each other. On such a man your union would confer irresistible strength, and would defeat the schemes of the corrupt intriguers who have deceived you all. On such @ man you must unite, if you would save the country, the party and yourselves from the disasters that will follow the consum- mation of your disseverance, and the con- sequent triumph of the black republican fanatics. Exo.ise Poticy at Narues—Lorp Panwuns- ton’s Derence or Ma. Exsiorr.—Io another columa will be found an interesting debate im the House of Commons on the policy of England in regard to Neples. The discussion arose on a fierce attack made by a Roman Catholic mew- ber, Mr. Bowyer, on Mr. Elliott, the British Minister at that court, for the famous despatch in which he denounced the government of the Two Sicilies as one merely of spies and police Mr. Bowyer called the attention of the govern ment to the language used by their represeata- tive, and demanded if they endorsed it. Lord Palmerston, in a strain of manly and indigoant eloquence, not only defended the terms employed in the despatch, but went much farther in stigmatizing the atrocities per- petrated by the Neapolitan government om wunoffending and innocent persons who had fallen under their suspicion. He showed that, so far from the British Minis- ter assisting to weaken the government, he had done all he could to strengthen it, by advising the King not to depart from the constitution which his father had, for himself and his succee- sors, 60 solemnly sworn to observe. His repeat- ea and earnest remonstrances had been had, police. In exposing this fact Mr. Elliott had done no more than his duty, and he saw no- thing in his conduct or language to censure. As to the charge of the British agents shelter- ing Neapolitan subjects, the principle on which the British government acted was this: where persons who fled from a criminal prosecution applied for refuge on board British vessels, they had given orders that in no case should they be received. Where the offence was simply a) political one, their instructions were that they should be afforded temporary shelter, for the, doctrine they had always maintained was that a British ahip was British territory. The impression produced by this frank and spirited reply cannot but aid greatly the sym- pathy which is being everywhere manifested in favor of the gallant struggle which is being carried on for the liberation of the Two Sici- lies. It, in the first place, establishes the truth of the facts which the Neapolitan and Romaa journals either flatly deny or endeavor to pal- late by the plea of necessity; and next, it plainly indicates the course which the English government are prepared to pursue the moment the revolution ahall have accomplished the ex- pulsion of the existing dynasty. Whatever may be the views of Louis Napoleon in regard to Naples, England will undoubtedly insist on her people being left the free and unfettered choice of their future political condition. Should they declare in favor of annexation to Sardinia, it seems to us that, with the aid of the other Italian populations, and of a great maritime Power like Great Britain, they will have no difficulty in compelling respect on the part of the other Powers to their decision. We cannot close our reference to this debate without expressing our contempt for the part taken in it by the Roman Catholic members, both English and Irish. For the sake of pre- tyranny, they shut their eyes to the great politi- cal principles involved in this Neapolitan struggle. The people of the Two Sicilies should, according to their view of the case, con- tinue patiently to endure one of the meanest and most cruel despotisms that the world has ever seen, merely that the weak minded old man who occupies the Papal chair shall pre- serve the relics of the possessions which he has imperilled by his foolish obstinacy. And yet these Irish members belong to the same party who clamored so loudly for emancipation from the civil disabilities to which they were subjected on account of their religious faith. Their language on this occasion goes a good way to justify the arguments which were used to keep them ina state of political enslave- ment. Steamsnrp Mai, Contracts—Tak Svnsipy Srsrem.—The report of the select committee appointed to examine into the merits of the existing contracts between the English govern. ment and the different steamship lines has just been preeented to the House of Commons. It states that sufficient control has not been pre- served to Parliament in these contracts over the lines, and recommends that ao further ar- rangements of similar nature be entered into without that condition being fully secured. It should be stated that the principal cause of the appointment of this committee was the outcry that was raised by the opposing lines against the contracts entered into by the gov- ernment with the Galway company. Long previous to the latter starting efforts had been made to induce the old companies to touch at an Irish port and at St. Johns, the one being important to the interests of a large portion of our population, and the other desirable in the curtailment of the time occupied in the trans mission of the foreign news. No represente- tions made on these points bad any effect on the companies which had then possession of the traffic. As soon, however, as the Galway line obtained ite present contracts, the former ex- hibited a marvellous readiness of compliance with the wish eo frequently expressed by the public, and we have now steamers regularly touching at Cork as well as at Galway, it being, moreover, propoeed that they shall touch at St. Johns, if it should still be desired. Whilst we owe thus much to the influence of competition, desperate efforts have been in the meantime made to take away the subsidy granted by the English government to the new line. Political motives have, in part, alded this movement; but the powerful influence brought to bear by rival interests has been its main ever. The report of the committee settles, however, for the present, the question as to the validity of the existing contracts, Parliament will not now interfere with them, and the Gal- way company will be free to carry out the great experiment they have undertaken—of making the paseage from Ireland to Newfound- land within the six days. Should their magnificent new vessel, the Connaught, be ready to take her departure before the Ist of July, as there is no doubt she will, their last conditional contract will be placed beyond all risk of being broken ap by adverse influences, and they will then only be subject to the pecuniary forfeitures which they incur by their failure to make the time fixed for their passages. ‘The success of this undertaking will be re- garded with mingled sentiments of gratifica- tion and regret at thie side of the Atlantic Whilst we rejoice at the benefits that this tailment of space will genfer upon as, we ¢an- not but feel our pleasure damped by the re-| vention of flection that if similar encouragement had been held out to our own shipping interests they would now be occupying the place filled by foreign companies. We had confessedly, in Collins’ steamships, the finest line of seagoing steamers in the world on this very route, aad yet Congress suffered it to be broken up sooner than extend to it the support received by the foreign lines from their govern- ments. Albstractedly we sre no friends to the system of subsidizing commercial enter- prises with government funds. When, how- ever, an opposition has to be carried on against powerful steamship lines conducted on this plan, and when, moreover, the question be- comes one affecting our national interests, it is 8 impolitic as it is unjust te expose private in- dividuals to the hazards of so unequal a con- teat. TeRRwLe Toxes i ParLapeLrata.—The Phila- delphia newspapers (we use the term in its conventional sense) are in a bad way because the accounts of the shameful way in which the Japanese were used in their village have been spread before the public. The insults heaped upon the Embassy, the violation of solemn pledges in taking them to their hotel by a long and very fatiguing detour, the disgraceful squabble between the military and the police, were not alluded to in the Philadelphia papers, with one exception. We heard of them, however, through our special correspondents, and from reliable private sources, and called the atten- tion of the city authorities here to the matter, in order that the Japanese might not be annoyed by an imitation of Philadelphian hostility at their reception in New York. Hereupon the Philadelphia journals fall to and scold away at New York with the vehe- mesce of so many enraged washerwomen. One of them commences by abusing the New York reporters; then proceeds to say that there was “no rioting, no disorder, and ao violence;” and it says if the Japanese were exposed to “any rudeness, it will the bet- ter prepare them for the brutalities they will suffer when they get to New York.” A very curious argument, that. Another journal atates the story that the Japanese were insulted is un- true, and immediately states that, “however false, it is backed by the Philadelphia Evening Journal of yesterday, which eays:—‘Along the route the rabble behaved rather badly, but none were absolutely to blame.’” A third paper states that it finds in the statements of the New York papers “traces of that spirit which is a never failing index of waning presperity. The failure of the New York steamship lines, as soon as the government subsidies were withdrawn; the bankruptcy of one of the great railway lines whose aim and cherished desire was the de- struction of our magnificent highway to the West; the flattening out of the echemes of the Henarp and other journals, eo flatulently belched into the faces of the general public, to so organize the running of the railway trains of the country as to exclude the ‘provincial’ press from all but a local circulation, and the acknowledged depreciation of real Satate ins a oer H*Kiimbug in that city has culminated.” Considering that we have no less than ten regular European steamship lines, of which three are American, and that the increase in the valuation of real and personal property in the city almost keeps pace with the inordinatd increase in taxation, the above paragraph is decidedly the coolest thing of the season. Such words from Philadelphia to New York are as menaces to imperial Rome from an Iberian vil- lage. We only notice them as among the amusing things of the day. Although intended to be taken in all seriousness, they are really irresistibly funny, and should be accounted as among the best contributions to the comic literature of the country, which, by the way, is getting to be distressingly slow. The Phila- delphia jokers will give ita fillip after they bave concluded their lighter tasks, such as using up the metropolis, and asserting the claim of their rectangular village to rank at the head of American cities. As to the Japa- nese matter, there seems to be a question of veracity between the Philadelpbia editors, which we will leave them to settle at their leisure, of which, judging by their issues, they mast have a plentiful supply. It is pretty well settled in the public mind of the country that the treat- ment of the Embassy at Philadelphia was dis- graceful to that city, and all the denials of the focal press will avail nothing eo far as the re- moval of that impression is concerned. Ovr Foreiax Coxnxsronpence—Waerxe Dors Ir Come From?—Among the great unsettled questions of the day, none is more prominent, according to the opinion of some of our co- temporaries, than that concerning the foreign correspondence of the New Yorx Heraup Almost every steamer brings us items of intel- ligence which we are compelled to give to the public in advance of every one else. Our co- temporaries first deny the authenticity of such intelligence as is obtained exclusively by us; they then steal it, and finish by saying that the correspondence containing it has been made up in our own office. The question that naturally arises is, why, if the letters are writ- ten here, they contain information not to be found in the foreign journals and similar sources open to others as well as ourselves. This question, like many others concerning wonderful phenomena, cannot be answered in the usual terrestrial manner. We must appeal to the supernatural. In old times they would have said that Bennett was an astrologer, and studied the stars, and had dealings with | the devil; more latterly, that he was ad- | dicted to second sight or clairvoyance; but the very latest idea is that we have a pri- vate spiritual telegraph in direct communica- tion with the council tables and private cabi- nets of ali the leading European Powers. This impression is in part fortified. and in part contradicted, by an extract from the Manches- ter Examiner, which we print elsewhere. It is stated by that journal that the copy of the “Confidential Memorandum for the Use of the Emperor,” published in one of our Paris let- ters last February, is entitled to special consi- deration, because it is known that the Paris correspondent of the New York Heratp has “very close relations with the private Cabinet of the Emperor.” Now it is also said that the Emperor believes in spiritualism to a certain extent, and who knows that the other end of our line is not worked by Napoleon himself? Who can say that we are not at this moment enrap- port with the arbiter of the destinies of Ru- Tope, and engaged with him in making s new continental map? The fact of the matter is, that our spiritual telegraph is the greatest in- with usual H the present we will let the matter stand as it is. ‘The great question of the day, however, may be considered settled, and the origia of our ton for this port on the appointed day, namely, Saturday last. She is therefore now on her sixth dsy out, and if she makes the same speed as on her trial trips she will be due here on Monday, while if she does as well as some of her more sanguine admirers prophesy, she may be here on Saturday, or even on Fri- day night. In either event we may calculate upon beholding her immense proportions off the Battery by Monday, and from this time forth public expectation will be on the stretch. New York harber and the Hudson river en- joy a historic reputation in connection with steam navigation. Half a century ago Fulton ran his experimental steam trips on the Hud- son, and a quarter of a century later the first steamer that crossed the Atlantic anchored in the bay. On the 30th of April, 1838, the Little channel steamer Sirius, commanded by Capt. Roberts, who was afterwards lost in the Preai- dent, arrived here from Cork. She was a little vessel, of smaller proportions than any ocean going steamer of the present day, aad not much larger than one of the steamers designed as tenders to the Great Eastern. And now, 80 rapidis the progress of steam navigation, New York harbor will receive at the anchorage of the Sirius, in less than a quarter of a century, the monster steamship of the world, the won- der of naval architecture, and the triumph of opmmercial enterprise. Public attention is now directed in two diffe- rent ways—one towards the coming Japanese Ambassadors, and another oceanwards, along the track of the Great Eastern, the arrival of both of which at the metropolis, occurring at the same time, will form a combination of stirring events never known here before, As every one will want to see the Great Eastern, and of course would like to know all about her, we have prepared at considerable trouble, and publish this morn- ing, s minute description of her form, size, ac- commodations and construction, and a history of her career from her first conception to the day of her sailing, including her launching, ne Wonton seen’ snaveenes “= has passed. This history cannot fail to interest ibe readers, after perusing it, will be able to examine the mon- ster ship understandingly, knowing before- hand exactly what they are to soa The success of the Great Eastern, in all re- spects save one, is a settled question. It only remains now to be seen whether she can cross the Atlantic within the allotted time, and whether her speed is equal to all her other “qualities. That, after all, is the most impor- tant point, and that cam only be solved upon her arrival here. Iyterestino News rrom Jarax.—We publish to-day a very interesting circular from Naga- saki, Japan, dated 25th of March, which repre- sents the condition of affairs in that country as highly favorable to foreign commerce, showing nothing in public sentiment calculated to pro- duce any excited or untriendly feeling, or to create any disturbance out of which might have arisen the reported assassination of the Emperor or the Regent. The statements of this circular, coming as it does from an intelli- gent and authentic source, will doubtless be received with great satisfaction by our Japa nese visiters, and may serve to allay any linger- ing fears as to political disturbances in their native conntry. Tux Ixpian Wan wx Carson Vattar.—A fortnight ago, when we received the accounts of the battle at Pyramid Lake, and the threat- ened general war in the southwestern part of Utah, we ventured upon « few natural doubts as to the veracity of the accounts in the Calli- fornia papers as to the origin and extent of the difficulty between the whites in the new settlements and the Pah-Utes—a warlike tribe of Indians, it is true, But not one especially, noted for cruelty to the pale faces. The sccounts brought by the North Star sustain our views exactly. While it is represented that the ex- citement in California has in no way abated, we hear nothing further of the Indians, and have a few curious circum- stances, hitherto kept dark, as to the ori- gin and progress of the war. It appears that the head chief of the Pah-Utes was re- cently shot by a white man in cold blood; that the relatives of the chief, in executing the usual vendetta, killed a white man; that | Ormaby’s command was raised for the purpose | of arresting the Indians, who had acted accord- ing to the border fashion in revenging the death of their commander; that Ormaby’s men were drawn into « well devised trap, defeated and suffered severe loss. The Pab-Utes had another and still stronger Treason to go towar. It appears that the coun- try about Pyramid Lake had been reserved for them by an officer of the army, and their rights had been invaded by the whites. The Pab- Utes are the natural sovereigns over all the country from the Vegas de Santa Clara to the New Mexican frontier on the south, and the Californian boundary on the north. They are naturally alarmed at the influx of emigration, which threatens to deprive them of the small fraction of territory guaranteed to them by the federal government. Under these ciroum- stances, it is not remarkable that a local paper states that the “Indians will not be driven from Pyramid without » etruggie,” and that the same journal counsels ‘conciliation and mode- ration.” There are, ass matter of course, a certain number of persons in Oslifornia and elsewhere who will, fer the sake of gaining a fat contract or two, attempt to foster this affair with the Pab-Utes into a general war, but we have no iden that can succeed in #0 doing. The Oregon debt is the lest game of that sort that be tried, suc- \ id cessfully for the present. We yerceive Lander, the wagon road builder, bas ata from San Francisco for the East, and that expedition goes straight through the war trict. As Lander’s interests are for peace, will probably succeed in bringing both ¢} Indians and the whites to reason. AS m stand now, both are equally to blame. —_—_—_— ‘The Richmond Convention, ~ DEPARTURE OF THE DSLBGATES— BRAC a LOOMING UP—THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY BA’ TRIOKY—4 NEW CANDIDATE FOR THE VICE PREM: DEXCY—fBE SOUTH RESOLVED TO Orross INAUGURATION OF LINCOLN, IF ELECTED FORCE—ORITICAL STATE OF AFFAIRS, ‘There appears to be but little confidence reposed ia y || Virginia delegation, and it is regarded the Southern delegations as almost as bad as Yort ‘ta etippery vaoiliations. > ‘The election of a democratic President byt 1 seems every day to be more hopeless.
