By the arrival of the Europa off Cape Race yesterday morning, we have European advices to the 2d inst., one w ter than the accounts previously received. ‘The news is important. eof the American financial crisis ected, caused shipments of specie ited States. The Europa has a conside- rable amount op board, and the Atlantic will doubtless bring a large sum. The Bank of Eng- land had reduced the rate of interest from six to five anda hdlf*per tent.” The™Liverpool cotton market was active at ap advance in prices, while breadstuffs had declined. There had been no change of importance in Ttalian affairs. The garrison of Gaeta had made a sortie, but were repulsed by the Neapolitans with great loss, Our summary of the European news is very brief, owing to an interruption of telegraphic com- munication east of Calais, Maine. By the bark Honduras, Capt. Bates, from Belize, Honduras, we learn that great excitement and alarm prevailed at Ruatan, ‘Truxillo and Omoa, in consequence of a report that a number of men had arrived at the former island in fruit vessels, sup- posed to be filibusters. A large steamer, with a schooner in tow, was seen off the coast, and both vessels full 6g men. There is also another report that no less than a thousand men have been landed on the Mosquito coast. Trade is neglected in con- sequence; and even if it should turn out to be a canard, the reports will have a mischievous effect on business. Mr. Toucey, Secretary of the Navy, has been appointed by the President Secretary of the Trea- sury ad interim. In Congress yesterday the Senate, by a vote of 27 to 29, took up the House bill of the last session providing for the payment of outstanding Trea- sury notes, authorizing a loan, and remodelling the tariff, and referred it to the Committee on Fi- nance. A resolution was adopted directing in- quiry as to the practicability of reducing the ex- peuses of the army. The consideration of the re- solutions of Mr. Powell, relative to the state of was then resumed, and Messrs. Big- n, Green, Fitch, Douglas and others par- ticipated in the debate. In the Heuse the dis- cussion of the motion to excuse Mr. Hawkins, of Plorida, from service the Select Committee of Thirty-three was renewed, and the House re- a vote of 9 to 101, toexense Mr. Haw- House, by a tie vote, also refused to yee, of South Carolina, Mr. Mor- rill, of Vermont, desired to be excused because of other duties which fully oecupied his time, but the House refused his request. The Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation bills, and a bill providing for the support of the Indians, were reported. A fof the Kansas sufferers was, after some opposition, referred to the Ter- ritorial Committee. A resolation was introduced directing inquiry as to whether any Superinten- dents of Indians or indian Agents can be dispensed memorial for the rel with, A resolu was adopted that all business relating to the Union be referred to the Select Committee of Thirty-three. A mass convention of the Union loving men of the State of New Jersey was held in Trenton yesterday, at which Col. William C. Alexander presided. The design ot those who united in the caliwas to take such action as wisdom should suggest in view vs the present perilous condi- tion of the country. An address and resolutions were adopted calling, on the part ci the North, for a repea! of all the Personal Liberty tills, a strict enforcement of the Fugitive Slave law, and per- mission for the Southern master to enjoy the ser vices of bis domestic slaves while sojeurning in the North for business or pleasure, while they a- pealed to the South for forbearance at this time, in order to save the Union. The proceedings did not end harmoniously. A full report will be found on another page. At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors yes- terday an important communication was received from the Comptroller, giving his financial estimate for the county expenditures for the ensuing year. The estimated amount $4,377,422. The appropriations for [861 will ex- ceed those of 1860 by $726,174. The balance ia the treasury on the th inst. was $1 John Wilson and Hans Olsen, the second and third mates of the slave bark Cora, which was captured on the coast of Africa by the frigate Con- stellation and sent to this port, were brought be- fore Commissioner Morell yesterday, and after some preliminary proceedings the farther exami- nation of the case was postponed till Friday next. Alfred Buchanan, the young man suspected of the murder of Mrs. Sarah Shancks, at No. 22 East Twelfth street, on Friday morning last, reached this city about noon yesterday, in custody of Capt. Caffray, of the Fifteenth ward police. The circumstances of his capture are detailed in another column. When first arrested the prisoner denied all knowledge of Mrs. Shancks, but subse- quently be admitted that he was acquainted with the deceased. He is a native of this city, about twenty years of age, resided with his parents, at No. 137 East Tenth street, and has heretofore borne an excellent character. Navigation is closed on the Connectiont river. ‘The steamers City of Hartford and Granite State have discontinued their trips to Hartford far the of appropriations is | season. The City of Hartford, arrived here yester- day morning, reports the river full of ice, which she came through without any damage. The Granite State will commence running to New Ha- ven to-day, and runon alternate days with the steamer Elm City, In the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday the trial of Daniel Finlay, charged with the murder of his wife by stabbing her with a knife, on the 7th of October last, was commenced, but was not finished at the adjournment. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,200 bales, closing at uneven rates, but chiefly on the basis of 9c. for middling uplands, and at 10c. a 10%c. for mit dling Gulf cottons. The receipts at the ports since the Ast of Septomber last have reached 1,296,000 bales, against 1,595,000 in 1859, and 1,306,000 in 1858. The ex- ports have reached 629,000 bales, against 806,- 000 bales in 1959, and 623,000 in 1858. The stock on hand amounts to 671,000 bales, against 762,000 in 1869, and 644,000 in 1858. ‘The reocipts at the ports this year have fallen off 299,000 bales, compared with those of last year. The exports have also fallen off 183,000 bales, compared with that for the same period last year, while the stock on hand is leas by 91,000 bales. ‘Owing to the decline in the rates of freight there was a better demand for flour, with a slight improve ment in common and medium grades. Wheat, from the same cause, was firmer, but sales were moderate. Corn was in fair request, both for home use and for ex- port, at 59c, a 59iyc, for Western mixed in store and afloat, and 630. for yellow. Pork was dull, and sales limited. Sugars wore sold toa moderate extent at un- changed prices. Coffee was steady, and sales light. The stock of Rio and Santos embraced about 21,953 bags, and packages of all Kinds, 38,186. Freights were lower, both \ Liverpool and London, especially for wheat and corn, as will be seen from quotations given in another place. The Republican Platform Rejected by the Pcople=The Duty of Lincoln. There is very great misconception as to the position Mr. Lincoln now occupies. He is in the curious and anomalous position of being elected President upon a great issue involving the integrity of the constitution and the very existence of the Union, while there is a large majority of the votes of the people recorded against him and against the principles on which he was supported. In another column we reprint the Chicago resolutions on which he was nominated last May, and appended thereto a tabular view of the popular vote in every State at the election held on the 6th of last month. It will be seen that these resolutions assert the equality of the black with the white man, by a misapplication of the language of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, which was never intended to apply to negro slaves; that slaves are not property, and that the master is not entitled to protection under the federal government by land and sea; and that to affirm that the constitution protects slavery in the Territories “is revolutionary and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country;” an@ on the pound that “no person should be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law,” the resolutions further maintain that “the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom,” and that it becomes the duty of all republicans by legisla- tion to maintain that principle, and to “deny the authority of Congress, of a Territorial Legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any Territory of the United States.” Lastly, that on these prin- ciples, which are in direct violation of the con- stitution, “the Union of the States must and shall be preserved,” which, of course, implies force of arms; and to that end there is a neces- sity for a perpetuation of the party, “as the causes which called it into existence are per- manent.” It is very evident that these principles in- volve the ubolition of slavery, not only in the Territories, which are the common property of all the States, those of the South as well as those of the North, but in the Southern States themselves. For if the Declaration of Inde- pendence applies to negro slaves, then liberty is their “inalienable right,” and the assertion of it in their regard “is essential to the preser- vation of our republican institutions.” And by parity of reasoning, if a slave has a right to freedom when he enters a Territory, he has aright to it when he enters a free State, not- withstanding the Fugitive Slave law and the constitution itself; for the “higher law” es- tablishing bis right to liberty as “inaliena- ble’ is above all constitutions, and sets him free in the slave States, and wherever he is found. ‘This is the logical deduction from the resolutions. To accomplish it all that is neces- sary is to amend the constitution, or to have it so interpreted by republican judges that it will answer the purpose. The object must be attained by some means or other. In the language of Mr. Lincoln himself, “the ultimate extinction of slavery” is the end of the organi- zation of the repuplican party. This was the great issue presented to the people on the 6th of last month, with the fol- lowing result:— Whole number of votes cast... .........65 4,699,480 Against? THE CHcaco oe Douglas. .... is arate ireckinridge Sani Bell... ‘ oa5/o0e~2, 824,874 “Pou te CaickGo Piatrors. EAROGER. cc cisccesscversecsecesevers 1,858,200 Majority against Chicago platform 966,674 No Southern State voted for Mr. Lincoln. He is a purely sectional President elect. Against him personally neither the Southern States nor Northern conservatives have any objection. These do not care for Mr. Lincoln per se. But there was a majority of a million of votes against the principles on which he was elected on the day of election. To-day there is a ma- | rority of at least two millions opposed to the principles of the party that placed Mr. Lincoln in power last month. For him there was only a vote of 1,858,200; against him there was a, vote of 2,831,280. In consequence of the con- | servative votes against him being divided be- | tween three candidates, he was elected on the plurality rule by minority of the people, having a larger vote than any one of his com- petitors, but less than a majority of the whole. Had there been only one candidate against him he would have been defeated, and the President and the popular vote would have been on the same side, But owing to the pe- culiar forms of the constitution, the number of candidates, and the system which generally prevails, of giving the whole electoral vote of a State to the candidate who obtains a plurali- ty. Lincoln has obtained an accidental majority of the Electoral Colleges, while he is the re- preventative of only minority of the people. Now the whole theory of our government is founded on majorities, and in the very moment of his inauguration Mr. Lincoln finds himself not only in a minority in Congress, but with a large majority of the people in antagonism ‘with him on the fandamental principles of the United States government. It is very clear that it is his duty to throw overboard the platform of the republioan party, for if he does not secession and revo- lution vill g? oa. The organs of ra pa ty apyeal do ‘he decision of the sovereign yeo} le ay ainst th action of he seceding States, and as a justificath0 for their coercion by the arm of federal au hori y. But by the supreme judge—the people—to whom they have ap- pealed, their principles and their policy stand condemned, and it will be inmpossible for him or them to carry out their programme. The ad- ministration of the republican President can- not be conducted on such principles against the will of the people. The sooner, therefore, Mr. Lincoln abandons his untenable ground the better for himself and the better for the country, whose peace hangs upon the course he may pursue, If he has the calibre of a statesman or the soul of # patriot, he can be at no loss what to do, and he will very soon make up his mind to bow to the decision of the majority of the people, and thus save from dissolution that mighty Union of States which the people established by their votes, and under which the American nation has become “great, glorious and free.” Tax Buren Drvorce Case.—The verdict ren- dered in this case will surprise no one. The issue put to the jury could not well have been decided otherwise. Between the hard swear- ing on both sides, on the part of witnesses whose position and antecedents entitled then to credit, there could be no verdict on the evi- dence. The jury, therefore, acted upon cer- tain well established principles of ethics to guide them in this difficulty. But few will qaarrel with their decision. In cases of this kind it is a rule of law, as it is of morals, that the plaintiff shall come into court with clean hands. In other words, he must be able to show that he bas in no way connived at the offence with which he charges his wife. We do not impute that Mr. Burch knowingly did so, but there are some facts in the evidence which wear that appearance. The reputation for gallantry of Mr. Stuart was well known to him. It was, in any view of the case, highly imprudent for him to throw his young and at- tractive wife so frequently into his company. But that imprudence became the more serious when others felt it necessary to remonstrate with him on the subject, and he disregarded their warnings. If he were a simple minded man, inexperienced in the ways of the world, we might not perhaps feel surprised at his unbounded faith in Stuart. But he does not belong to that class of persons who are easily duped by appearances, or who are apt to place much trust in others. Mr. Burch is, in short, a successful money broker, and in’ saying this we imply that he was as fully capable of protecting his domestic as he did bis pecuniary interests. Of course it is possible that in looking keenly after the one he neglected the other. But this unaccountable negligence on the part of so sharp a man would probably not have weighed much with the jury but for cer- tain ugly facts that transpired on the trial. Without laying stress upon the effort made to establish a counter charge of criminality against him, we would ask whether the convey- ance made of his property previous to these proceedings was the act of a man who felt that he was going into court witha strong case? If he had faith in the confession which he ob- tained from his wife, what was the necessity of this precautionary measure? And then the circumstances under which this conf ‘on was extorted. Was it necessary for nis purpose that he should resort to the brutal expedient of threatening this already humiliated and enfeebled woman with his clenched fist, in order to wring from her the ad- missions which were necessary to make out his case? These facts, taken in conjunction with the evidence brought forward by the defence, im- probable as it may be deemed by some in the face of Mrs. Burch’s confession, fully justify the verdict rendered by the jury. Had that evi- dence been less positive, they would still have been warranted in discrediting a case based upon so much indifference to his own conjugal interests, and such careful preparations for the legal consequences of the defeat of his suit as were exhibited on the part of the plaintiff. It is but right that when our laws afford such facilities for the rupture of the marriage tie, the severest scrutiny should be instituted by our courts into the motives and conduct of those who seek to avail themselves of them, Biack Rereuiican Pantc Makens.—A pro- minent manufacturer asked @ gentleman the other day what could be done for the numerous persons whom he had been ‘compelled to dis- miss from employment in consequence of the universal prostration in business, occasioned by the effects of Northern aggression upon the South?” “I voted,” said this person, “for Mr. Lincoln; but I would give one hundred dollars willingly to be able to recall the fact of having made such a mistake.” He asserted that his neighbors were as badly off as himself, and that he bad received accounts which made it certain that over fifteen hundred laborers had been sent away from the workshops of his owa immediate friends. Thus those who have sown the wind are “reaping the whirlwind.” And not contented with the evils which are already perceptible, the black republican oracles of the North cry aloud for their increase to an extent which will paralyze commerce, cut off the sources of trade, close the outlets to exports, and destroy the value of all American products and securities. There is but one single possibility of saving the Union, or, if it shall be destroyed, of recon- stituting its disintegrated elements. This is by strenuously insisting upon the peaceful policy which was laid down in the President's Mes- sage, and by avodling every measure and word which can tend to exasperate the present state of disturbed feeling. Yet, in the face of this evident necessity, and of the manifest benefits which would result from @ conciliatory poliey, wha: course do we see pursued by the leading black republican journals of this city and of the North? They declare that there is no remedy for disunion but “war ;” that those mistake greatly who suppose that “disunion can be accomplished without war.” They advocate bloodshed, famine, slaughter, rape and deso- lation aa the proper opening of the next act of our national drama. They say that if thou- sands of laborers have been atready throwa out of employ, the number must be increased to tens of thousands; that if securities have de creased ten or twenty per cent in value, they must go down fifty; that real estate must become worthless, the culture of our cotton and corn fields be abandoned, and that an “irre- preasible conflict” with Sharpe's rifles must be- cin at the earliest moment. This panic mak- ing by prokauina of the black Satan press, i, is to be hoped, will prove unsuccessful. The recent Mayoralty election in Boston proves tha: the people of that ultra abolitionist city repuciate it, acd are wiNing to make atone- ment for past wrongs; but the pernicious re- commendations of demagogues who are aggra- vating present evils ought never to be forgot- ten, They are striving to reduce the country to pauperism, and if their efforts should be mercifully frustrated, they would none the less deserve to be the scorn of all who wish for the continuance of the prosperity of the Union. The Twelfth Street Murder—The Police and the Press. It seems very probable that the perpetrator of the late daylight murder in Twelfth street is in the hands of the authorities, The young man whose suspicious appearance about the store of Mrs, Shancks excited the alarm of her friends was brought to the city yesterday, and lodged in the police headquarters, where he is kept in entire seclusion, no one being permit- ted to see him, and no information concerning the case being vouchsafed by our very efficient and sagacious police. The reporters of the press, it seems, are religiously excluded, and denied the slightest hint of intelligence upon the subject. Some bright idea seems to have struck the police authorities that the newspa- pers have been encroaching upon their privi- leges of late; and the ides is perfectly correct, because it is not the police, but the newspa- pers, which arrest all the notorious criminals. Were it not for the minute descriptions which the press give of the suspected parties upon the commission of some great crime—descrip- tions which follow or preclude their flight, and are always in advance of the police—the guilty persons would not be discovered in one case out of ten, Yet we find the police exercising the powers of people “dressed in a little brief authority,” by endeavoring to conceal all the facts and incidents connected with the arrest of this young man. Whether the cause of this course of action be traced to stupid ignorance or petty jealousy, it is equally contemptible and reprehensible. Deputy Superintendent Carpenter, it ap- pears, has expressed an opinion that the police force will never be perfect until it is reduced to a completely secret system; but we are strongly inclined to think that when it comes to that pass, and is deprived of the effi- cient aid of the daily press, it will have become worthless as a means of protection, and odious as a despot- ism. The Police Commissioners could not do better than transfer Deputy Carpenter to the service of Louis Napoleon or Alexander of Russia. His opinions precisely coincide with their system; whether his capacity would cope with that of their agents is a question which his career in this city may leave in some doubt. It is notorious that the newspapers of the metropolis have done more to effect the arrest of murderers than all the police put together. It was the newspaper descriptions that caused the arrest of Hicks, the pirate, and of Jackalow, the oyster sloop murderer, after they had fied from the city. But in no case, perhaps, was the arrest of a criminal more clearly traceable to the press than in that of young Buchanan, who is charged with the Twelfth street murder. What are the facts? The police were entirely off his track. They thought he was in the city; and on Saturday night they confidently stated that they knew his whereabouts, and were almost “on the top of him,” while, at the same time, he was three hundred miles away on the Erie Railroad. In our report of the tragedy we stated that inasmuch as fresh blood had been found on the handle of the outer door, which must have been left there after the mur- derer had wiped his hands on some of the gar- ments found in the inner room, he must have cut his hand in the execution of the bloody deed, and, therefore, that any unknown man with a cut hand should justly become an object of sus- picion wherever he might turn up. The conse- quence was that the appearance of the alleged criminal, @ stranger, at a little town on the Erie Railroad, with his hand wounded and bound up, at once caused some person to make bis suspicions known to a justice of the peace, who caused his arrest. Our police had nothing to do with it; they were looking for him in the city; and had it not been for the newspaper re- ports the chances are that he would have made good his escape. ‘The truth is that the daily newspapers are the real police of the city, and not the Metro- politan force, who draw their pay to such a handsome amount from the treasury. In al- most every instance it is the newspapers that cause the arrest of alleged criminals. How absird and stupid itis, then, for the police authorities to attempt to keep the facts from the knowledge of the press in cases of this kind. Aw Ivrorraxt Irnovewent Demanpep—Re- LigF FOR THE Workino Ciasses.—One of the worst features in the present condition of affairs is the dreary prospect before the working men of the metropolis. They feel the crisis more severely than any other class, as very few of them are able to lay by anything for a rainy day. In panic times, too, the prices of provi- sions are never lowered, while the wages of labor, if any labor is wanted, are always re- duced twenty-five or thirty per cent. If the present state of things is to continue, at least twelve or fifteen thousand mechanics and la- borers will be without employment after the ist of January, and of these one-half must be taken care of at the public expense. How much better it will be if we can manage to em- ploy them in some way or other; and it hap- pens that the way is open to us, Three or four years ago we advocated the establishment of ihe Post Office and other public buildings in he Five Points, where a large amount of land s covered with old wooden shanties and dens of iniquity, which really cumber the ground. We find now that our proposition has been adopted by certain parties who intend to bring the matter before the next Legislature, It is proposed that the city shall be authorized to buy up & sufficient amount of property about the Points to make a great public square, in which the Post Office, United States courts, the public offices, law courts and chambers of the Aldermen and Councilmen shall be located, thus leaving the present City Hall to the Mayor and heads of departments. Some peo- ple propose that the property on the other side, about West Broadway, shall be bought for this purpose; but the original proposition ix infinitely the better. We trust that the city, the State and the federal government will join together in this work, so that it may be com menced at the earliest possible period. Jt will not only beautify and improve the lower part of the city, afford needed accommodations to the long sutlering Judges and members of the bar, and root out hundreds of plague spots upon the town, but it will give employment to hundreds of worthy men, who otherwise may be compelled to beg the bread for which they would prefer thousand times to labor. In the event of secession, New York will still be the commercial metropolis, and the new build- ings would be quite as valuable, if not more so, than under the present régime.

That the present demoeratic administration has far exceeded our worst apprehensions in its measureless sub- serviency to the exactions of a sectional interest, as especially evinced in its desperate exertions to force the infamous Lecompton constitution upon the ting people of Kansas; in construing the relation between master and servant to involve an unqualified property in persons; in its attempted enforcement, every- where, on land and sea, through the intervention ‘of Con- gress and of the federal courts, of the extreme preten- sions of @ purely looal interest, ‘and in its general and unvarying abuse of the power entrusted to it by s con- fiding people. ‘That the new dogma that the constitution, of its own fores, carries slavery into amy or all of the Territories of the Untied Saas a palttical a vert ance with the explicl ‘of that instrument itself, with cotemporaneous exposition, and with legisla- tive and jue precedent; is revolutionary in its ten- dency and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country.
