The bloodless triumphs achieved by the expe dition to Kertch, Yenikale, and the Sea of Azofl cannot fail to be productive of the most important results, net only on the campaign in the Crimea, but on the entire war with Russia. We have at length tardily entered on the course in which we should already have made considerable progress. We only hope that we may fully and fairly follow up our successes, not contenting ourselves with mere demonstrations, but really endeavouring to cripple the power of our gigantic adversary, which has been so grievously abused, and to prevent her from carrying out the nefarious designs which nothing but imperative necessity will induce her to relinquish. Like the old man in the fable, we have tried the effect of persuasion—the Con ferences, to wit. It has wholly and unequi vocally failed. We have flung grass in our warlike exhibitions, but the absence of earnestness was too clearly perceptible to the wily foe. Had we been as resolute as Russia we should not have contented ourselves with a few hourh , ball practice before alessa by a few steamers, while the great body of the fleet were idle spectators of the so-called bombardment. We should not have allowed the depot for provisioning and reinforcing the army of the Crimea to remain almost intact ; nor should the punishment it received, such as it was, have been attributed to merited retribution for an insult to a flag of truce, but rather to the natural bonsequencAst of the hostilities in which we were then engaged. It is manifest that Russia, has been still under the expectation—would that wo might call it ielusion, "—that we would not take any really important step, but that we would be cajoled by the negotiations still nominally pending. She entertained that belief while the A BERDEEN Go vernment remained in office, and the recent speech of Mr. GLADSTONE, and the conduct of the Peelites, prove that she had but too much foun dation for the supposition. Lord PALMERSTON ostentatiously avowed that the policy of the Go vernment was altogether unaltered by the changes that had taken place. Consequently, the absurdly lenient conditions tendered were contumeliously rejected, and the insolent propositions put for ward which Count BuoL thought " to contain elements of which Austria would endeavour to avail herself for an understanding." Until the Conference be finally dissolved, and a formal notice given that the Western Powers will no longer accept the conditions on which they were previously willing to treat, there will be no secu rity against a dishonourable and transitory peace, without any real guarantees for its stability, and which will only be observed by Russia until she sees a favourable opportunity for its violation. Our uninterrupted and bloodless triumphs prove that the Russians did not anticipate so vigorous a proceeding on our part. Had it been other wise they would have made at least some show of resistance. Since entering the Sea of Azoff no less than four war-steamers, and two hundred and forty vessels, employed in carrying supplies to the Russian army in the Crimea, have been destroyed. We have not only taken possession of Kertch and Yenikale, and thus cut off the communications with the troops in Asia, but we have also taken Genitchi, or Yenitchi, with a de tae. hment of Seamen and Mari n e s , and, " after driving the Russian forge from the place, de stroyed all the depots and vessels laden with corn and suppliesforthearray;" and in all this not a singl e life was lost. " One man Only was wounded !" It is said that no less than six millions of rations for the garrison of Sebastopol have been thus de stroyed. The troops statio ne d at those different posts have fallen back in the di rect i on of Kaffa, and it is said, on Russian authority, that they took care to plac e no less than thirty miles be tween them and the invaders before they ven tured to halt. Much blame was cast on Mr. DISRAELI by every section of the opposite camp for shaping his mo tion so as to avoid all avowal of a policy, and for reducing it to a mere notice for Whigs to quit, and an invitation to Conservatives to come in. The blame was, perhaps, deserved. Time was when Mr. Disraeli's motto was "No AUSTRIAN ALLIANCE, NO FOUR Ponrrs." Has anything occurred which should induce him to change it ? Is he to pursue with impunity a course of ambiguity and uncertainty for which he invokes censure on Ministers ? Had he stood to his motto tire country at least would have adopted him as the right man. It was not, indeed, for de sertion of his former avowal that the Liberals of the Press and Parliament attacked him ; his crime in their eyes was, that he wanted to be in and turn their friends • out ; and they trium phantly asked, what better policy than theirs he had to offer. The country saw with regret that after weary conferences, and continued evasion of her duty by Austria, after everything had satisfied the public mind that the Austrian Alliance and the Four Points were the most dangerous of sunken rocks before I.s—yet, Mr. DISRAELI ig nored his former manly demand, and sacrificed his country's wishes to those probably of the COBURGS, with whom, if he carried his motion, he might soon have been in close, though invisi ble, contact. If, however, Mr. DISRAELI deserved censure for abandoning his country's flag after he had once hoisted it, what shall we say to Mr. GLAD wrol.cE? We have always hitherto had a good opinion of his official as well as his personal conscientiousness. It.is extremely difficult, how ever, to retain such an opinion since his great but sophistical effort on the 24th. All his arguments were directed against the War, yet because it commenced under an ABERDEEN and GLADSTONE Cabinet he professed to justify it. He fatheiled the Four Points, yet was satisfied to negotiate fur Reac3 on the basis of a transparent evasion by Russia of the only point of substantial importance. lie de'clared that the victories of the Allies and the Cri - mean expedition had humbled the arro gance of Russia, and induced her to negotiate on terms which before she disdained ; yet When lie wanted to force his peace-at-any-cost views on'the country he declaimed on the horrors of bloodshed as if any one needed light or persuasion on that subject, and denied that another Alma and Inkerman, or another province invaded, would have any humbling effect at all We deduce two inferences from such un pardonable special pleading : the first, that Mr. GLADSTONE never was at heart in favour of the War at all, but that having been forced into it as' the only means of retaining office, he now magni fies the results of his unwilling policy. The second, that, released from office, he takes his na tural position as the advocate of Russia, and of a peace which shall leave her as injurious and dan gerous to Europe as ever. • Perhaps he is really planning to take office at the end of the War with the Manchester gentlemen and the Peelites, minus, of course, their more manly former colleague, the Duke of NEWCASTLE. How can the country ever trust such a tortu ous man again ? Put the best face on it, suppose that his views really changed with his position, —what, then, is the worth of a leading Minister (for such his oratorical powers would ever make him) who could persuade himself, now that black was white, now that white was black ? We must think, however, that Mr. GLADSTONE and those lately with him in the Cabinet were at the bot tom of all the mischief. Sir DE LACY EVANS, with the practised eye of an old General, told them, but too truly, that they sent out troops at first for show and not for fight. We need not recall Besika Bay, Sinope, waiting on Austria, and for that reason the too late expedition to the Crimea, the Black Sea ports half blockaded, Odessa and Nicolaieff spared, and all the unmanly and fatal timidity and vacillation of the late Ad ministration. The recent proceedings in the Sea of Azoff convince us all that Sebastopol might, by a right use of our fleet, have been starved into submission before now, and the Rus sian army in the Crimea starved too. Mr. GLADSTONE and his principal assuredly teansgressed with most awful results the article of war, on the charge of violating which poor BYNG was victimised to party. The thousands lying beneath the sod before Sebastopol, about whom Mr. GLADSTONE declaimed so solemnly, lie there, we hesitate not to affirm, through him and those like-minded with him. Ho and his Russianising- Austrianising clique are answerable for that blood. The men who starved the War in the most im portant campaign of all, who compelled Russia to believe that they would never fight her in earnest, and who were dabbling in Austrian diplomacy while our army and navy were literally dying for want of w or k, and when they ought to have con fronted Russia, as he i t s tu th g e h se A a u r s e tr t i he Austria were w the ho poli ticalhave nonentity s laid our troops in Crim ean graves. Mr. GLAD STONE dec7ai nas as if the advocates of vigour were answerable for th e bloodshed ; but if he have a conscience, we envy him not the reflections which time must bring. It may be too much to hop e th at Legislators will listen to our counsels, remarkably as th e y Ihave hitherto been justified by mats, and been - - Besides these advantages we learn this after. the town of St ranychi, noon that we have take n at the entrance of the Putrid Sea, burnt a month's rations of the whole Russian army, and destroyed the shipping.

This evening they will meet under a heavy responsibility. The most firm and warlike tone the House can take in its de bates and its resolutions is assuredly the •ne most in the interest of peace. Let the manly tone of our Parliament back the recent movements of the Allies ; let our soldiers, and let St. Petersburg both see that the time for half measures is com pletely gone, that we have kicked away that worse than useless crutch, Austria, that we defy Prussia, and that we mean to go to work as we can if we will—and we are mistaken if Russia does not strike even too soon. Too soon we mean to dis pose our Ministers to demand all they should. Nothing hitherto has been so adverse to peace as the avowed moderation of the Allies' demands. Russia has seen that she could take little harm from ;continuing a war at the end of which she was to lose nothing. Lord J. RUSSELL'S un statesmanlike avowal that they " did not wish to diminish the territories of Russia" has, we believe, more than anything, induced her to be lavish of her own blood, at the cost to us of so much of ours. The ABERDEEN-GLADSTONE policy of hold ing back our forces, and the RUSSELL one of guaranteeing Russia her stolen territories, are accountable for most of the blood already shed. Announce that we shall retain henceforth all we can conquer, and will conquer all we can, and blood will speedily cease to flow. We never could understand why merely because Russia strongly objects, we should recede a mo ment from the demand that the Black Sea should become a purely commercial lake. The Ministry which does not insist on that deserves to be im peached. "Limitation" is truly an absurdity. With Allied Consuls in every port a naval attack could not, on the other principle, be ever organised by Russia. In addition to the territorial penalties, which any honest Ministry will now inflict on Russia, one of the most important of securities is to compel her to pay the whole costs of the War. True, she might raise the loan to do it on the ex changes of Paris and London, buy she would be saddled with 'a debt heavy for her means, and it would not be so easy for her to maintain a peace army of 800,000 men, and impossible to move them till commerce had increased and enriched her ; and then she would, by that very circum stance, be less disposed to renew the losing game of aggression. There is one consideration which should determine us never to place the Crimea in Russian hands again. There lie in thousands the martyrs to the Austro-Gladstone policy. Let friends to the cause for which they really bled guard their sacred tombs. They fell as the HAMPDENS of European • liberty ; never let the Russian serf insult their graves. and was then to fortify Kars. The Russian troops that were expected at Tiflis had been sent off to the Crimea, and in consequence great appre hensions wei e entertained in Tiflis of an attack by Schamyl and the Turks. Brigandage continues in Greece. Thcssaly is agitated. MARSEILLES, MONDAY MORNING. The Indus, with advices from Constantinople of he 21st ult., has just arrived. Her despatches will be forwarded by train at 1 p.m. According to advices from the Crimea of the 26th ult., all was going on well at that date. PARIS, MONDAY. The Moniteur publishes the following despatch from General Pelissier to the Minister of War:— CRIMEA, JUNE 1, 10 p.m. We have sprung two mines in front of the Flagstaff Bastion ; the second explosion did con siderable damage to the enemy. In the ravine of Careening Bay in advance of our works our engineers discovered a transverse line of 24 cubic cases filled with gunpowder, each 40 centimetres thick in the inside, placed at equal distances, and buried just beneath the sod ; each case, containing one-fiftieth of a kilogramme of powder, is covered with a fulminating apparatus, which would explode by the simple pressure of the foot. These cases have been taken up by our engineers. CONSTANTINOPLE, Mao 24. The corps which Omer Pacha has embarked at Eupatoria and landed at Kamiesch consists of 25,000 picked men and 40 guns. They were to be replaced by an Egyptitin and Tunisian divi- SiOR. The Russians are rapidly raising redoubts on the north side of Sebastopol, but they are not yet armed; 60,000 of the Allied troops will remain before Sebastopol when the advance is made. General Mouravieff, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian detached army of the Caucasus, is in great want of reinforcements. To supply their lack he is attempting to raise troops by voluntary enlistment from among the Armenian population. He is at the same time endeavouring to negotiate a suspension of hostilities with Schamyl. Under the orders of General Williams fifteen redoubts have been constructed for the defence of Erzeroum. It is believed that new hostilities will not be long delayed. DANTZIC, JUNE 1. The English Post-office steamer has just arrived. When she quitted the fleet under Admiral Dun das, it was only a few miles from Cronstadt. STOCKHOLM, JUNE 1. The King has named as Ambassador to Vienna Baron de Marden-stroem, who has till now been Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Af fairs. This day's journals approve the choice, and augur from it that important negotiations are about to open. FRAN CE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING, The Moniteur contains decrees confirming seven promotions to the rank of officer and 85 nominations to that of knight in the Legion of Honour, as well as the grant of 230 miTitary medals, made by the Commander-in-Chief of the army of the East. A letter from Marseilles of the Ist, says : " General Walsh' Esterhazy has just left this port for Constantinople, in the Carmel, which vessel has taken out troops and stores. The Egyptian steam frigate, the Ferdi-Gihan, arrived here yesterday from Alexandria. • She is about to carry out a second cargo of mules purchased i n F rance , for the Pa,clia of Egypt. The Montigello also ar rived here yesterday from Naples, with 120 pas sengers on board. Moinat Vesuvius, she brings word, had ceased its eruption, the flames having entirely ceased. A thick black smoke, however, was still issuing from the crater, when the Monti gello left." The Dillon frigate left Marseilles on the Ist for Constantinople, with a full cargo of materiel on board. The screw steam-transport La Gironde, of 1,200 tons, was launched at Bordeaux on the 30th ult., and the gun-boat La Meurtriere at Toulon on the 31st. Accounts from Martinique state that the inhabi tants of that island, being desirous of joining in the patriotic manifestations of the m o th er country in favour of the army of tne East, spontaneously opened subscriptions for that purpose. The go vernor of the colony has transmitted a first instal ment of 3,000 f. to the Minister of Marine, and the corvette Recherche, which Las just arrived at Brest, has brought 16 barrels and 4 cases containing cigars, tobacco, preserves, &c., for the use of the army. Letters have been,received from Jerusalem to the 14th ult. The Holy City had once more returned to its usual quiet. All the pilgrims, who had come from the west had re-embarked, some at Jaffa and others at Caipha, or Beyrout. Tranquillity has been restored in tho mountains of Judea.

Tl' Abeille of St. Petersburg gives the following vrx.sion of the language lately used by the Czar at ;jronstadt, and which some persons considered Peaceful. The words attributed to his Majesty in the above journal appear, on the contrary, rather indicative of war. It says : " On the 9th, the town of Cronstadt was honoured by a visit of the Emperor. The inhabitants presented their Sove reign, according to ancient custom, with bread and salt. His Majesty received his subjects with kind ness, and concluded his reply to them with the fol lowing words : Pray to God for the repose of the soul of the late Emperor Nicholas I. He loved you, and so will I. Pray to God. We will not allow Cronstadt to fall into the power of the enemy. With the will of God, peace will return, and then your commerce will again improve.' After the de parture of our beloved monarch, we felt that our hearts were full of faith in Providence, of devoted ness to the Czar, and of love for our country. Each of us now repeats the words of one of our celebrated Russian heroes. We will not allow our country to be humiliated ; we will leave our bones here for our Czar and our hearths.' " We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 26th May; In a despatch dated 21st May Prince Gortscha koff inferills his Government of the arrival of the Sardtnan Contingent, and of the sailing of the sP,Cond Kertch expedition, though the object of the expedition was still a matter of conjecture to them. A despatch, via Berlin, dated St. Petersburg, Ist June, says : "Under date of 29th May Prince Gortschakoff w.ites that on the 24th the allies doubled Cape Kamiesch and occupied Kertch and Yenikale. Our garrison having spiked their guns and destroyed our vessels retired on Arghynska without having suffered very considerable loss. Up to the 29th the enemy -had not penetrated into the interior. " The allied flotilla, had appeared before Berdiansk." policy of Sweden, in the present emergency. Although there is no reason to doubt the King's remaining faithful to the family traditional policy of the Bernadottes, it cannot be expected that he seriously contemplates acting iu opposition to the united will of France and England by declining to take part in the campaign about to commence, and insisting on the further main tenance of his neutrality. Many significant signs indicate that the days of the present cabinet are numbered; and it cannot be de nied that a change of ministers at this juncture would be received by the nation with great satis faction, as it is well known that they are but the willing tools of the crown. An active participa , tion in the war must necessarily require great ex penses, which involve the convening the Diet for the purpose of voting supplies ; and this _would be the best opportunity for the expression of public opinion. It must, however, be added that the Government is still in possession of a large part of the sums so liberally voted by the last Diet under the generic denomination of the " neu trality fund," and which might be used by the executive in defraying the first expenses of the war, although, perhaps, strictly - speaking, voted for another purpose. However, judging from I the tide of public feeling, it _is not very hazardous to prognosticate, net only that the Diet would make no objection to the alteration, but that, once fairly engaged in a war, they would liberally vote any amount of supplies required for the energetic, prosecution of the same. The Swedish press have of late become rather backward in discussing the question of peace or war, but the tongue is not so reserved, and it is not to be wondered at that it forms the great subject of conversation in every circle. The Aftonbladet is the only paper that now raises its voice in favour of war, and demands from the ministers a categorical explanation of their in tentions, that the country may know immediately what it has to expect. no great difficulty, for it is said not to be much longer than Waterloo-bridge, will have a vast effect on the future operations in the Crimea, and if we can only close the communication by Perekop, which may not be very difficult either, for we can land troops within. 20 miles of it, all the entrances to the Crimea will be hermetically sealed, and the Russians will, like rats in a trap, be compelled to surrender at discretion for want , of food and other necessaries. The taking of the various positions in the Sea of Azoft, particularly that of Genitchi, cuts off the supplies from the river Don, which debouches to the north-east of the Sea of Azoff. But we must not forget that there are three other im portan, rivers running through the heart of Russia, and navigable for considerable distances. There is the Dniester, which constituted the boundary of Russia until the cession of Bessarabia, in 1812, and which falls into the Euxine on the north-west, not far 'from Odessa. The Boug, or Bug, the former boundary, which passes Nico laieff, one of the great Russian arsenals, and the Dnieper, which runs from Ekaterinovslaf in a south-westerly direction, and debouches into the Gulf of Perekop, only forty miles from the isthmus. With our naval power we may easily command these rivers, and strike a formidable blow at the power and commerce of Russia in the East. Let us not waste or misapply the opportunity. Let our Ministers only prove themselves imbued with the national spirit, and Russia will no longer be formidable ; she will be thrown back at least a century and a half, and lose all that she has ac quired since the reign of the first PETER. Let Hon. Gentlemen look to it, for the Government will only yield to a very strong pressure from without on such a point. They will still truckle to Ger manism if permitted to do so. LATEST NEWS, FURTHER SUCCESS OF THE ALLIES. AN OTHER VICTORY. CAPTURE OF STRANYCHI BY THE ALLIES. (From the Third Edition of the Morning Fost.) SEBASTOPOL, JUNE 2. We have taken the town of Stranychi, at the entrance of the Putrid Sea, burnt a month's ra tions of the whole Russian army, and destroyed the shipping. There was no resistance offered by the enemy, No loss to the Allies. ADMIRALTY, JUNE 3, 1855. The Secretary of the Admiralty presents hiz compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and begs to acquaint him that intelligence has been re ceived at the Admiralty from Sir E. Lyons, at Kertcb, dated 31st May, that the squadron in the Sea of Azoff has appeared before Genitchi, landed a body of seamen and marines, and, after driving the Russian force from the place, has destroyed all the depots and vessels laden with corn and supplies for the army. One man only was wounded. Since entering the Sea of Azoff, four steamers of war, and 240 vessels employed in conveying supplies to the Russiati army in the Crimea, have been destroyed. VIENNA, JUNE 2. A despatch from Prince Gortschakoff, dated the 29th, states that the Allies have occupied Kertch, but have not pushed inwards. He reports that in consequence of the measures which he has taken, the Allies will not he able to cut off the communications of the Russian army. The following are the terms in which the late operations of the Allied forces in the Criniea hare been announced in the St. Petersburg journals:— "At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th, the Allied forces appeared in the Strait of Kertch. Near Sebastopol considerable forces of the Allied army have occupied the heights of the left bank of the Tchernaya, and are establishing a fortified camp there." The Post Gazette of Frankfort publishes a de spatch from Odessa to the effect that the Russians are raising batteries to command the channel near Genitchi, which connects the Putrid Lake with, the Sea of Azoff. Another despatch says that General Oushakoff had at length arrived. at Pere kop with his division, four infantry regiments , each 3,600 strong. General Grotenhilm had also arrived at Perekop with his light cavalry division, the third, consisting of four regiments, each 960 strong. These figures would give Prince Gorts chakoff a reinforcement of 18,000 men—a num ber which more exact information would probably reduce. BERLIN, SATURDAY. The Austrian Government has published a new circular ; it is dated May 25, and declares that if the last propositions of Austria for the adjustment of a peace were rejected, the policy of Austria would thenceforth be one of expectancy.

THE BALTIC FLEET. DANTZIC, JUNE 1. The Princess Alice, despatch boat, Lieutenant Underwood, arrived here yesterday afternoon, with the weekly mails, which she brought on from Faro Sound, the Firefly, Captain Otter, having carried them to that place from the fleet. The news is this week of a very scanty nature. The whole of the fleet, with the eiception of the Ajax, left the island of Nargen last Saturday, the 26th ult., and, after a few days' cruise, anchored again about 16 miles below Cronstadt. As the Firefly was on the way to Faro Sound, with the mails frbm the fleet, she met the French squadron, consisting of three line-of-battle ships and one corvette, off Dagerof, the extreme north west point of the island of Dago, situate near the entrance to the Gulf of Finland.b The Magicienne and Merlin have taken several prizes at a place called Biorko Sound, to the north west of Cronstadt. The general state of health in the fleet continues to be satisfactory ; during the last 10 days there has only been, one fresh case of small-pox. The patients in the hospitals on Faro Island, also ap pear to be progressing favourably ; about 20 aro so far recovered as to be able to rejoin their respec tive ships ; only four cases have as yet terminated fatally. Lieutenant Hannant, first lieutenant % i t' the Duke of Wellington, has, however, fallen a victim to the disease. The Orion, Captain Erskine, was sent up on the 29th to reconnoitre Cronstadt. He saw six very large line-of-battle ships, all ready equipped for sea. Commander Marten, R.N., of her Majesty's ship Exmouth, came down in the Princess Alice yester day, on his way to England, having been appointed to the Royal Albert, flag ship of Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, in the Black Sea. ROUTE OF FRENCH TROOPS TO THE BALTIC. HANOVER, May 29.—Great sensation has been caused by the demand of Count Reculot, the French Envoy at this , Court, for permission to march a body of Imperiai troops through the Hano verian territory. It appears that considerable in convenience was felt and delay occasioned last year by sending the French army of co-operation to the Baltic ,by sea, although on board such splendid ships as the squadron under Commodore Grey in the Hannibal, and it has now been decided to send the expedition by the railroad through the North of Germany to 'Lubeck, where steamer; will be waiting to take the troops up to the point where they are wanted, and which of necessity, remains a secret for the present. Be sides, the expedition will be Much more nume rou-s than the last. The number of Frenc' troops conveyed to the Baltic last bummer, and employed at the reduction of Bomarsund, was not more than eight or tea thousand men, whereas the Army of the North destined for service in the Baltic musters nearly 80,030 men, about one-half of whom have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to move, and the other Irtif will form the reserve. Although the Elnoverian Govei ment has not given a decided answer, there is little reason to doubt that it will be a favourable one, - particularly as the request is supported most enorget:cally by the British Government, who have sent instructions to that effect to Mr. Bligh, her Majesty's representative here. A similar re quest has bc , ,ea made by the Marquis de Moustier at Berlin to the Prussian Government, and steps have been also taken by France to obtain the con sent of the Senate of Lubeck for the embarkation of the French troops at Travemunde. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The British and North American royal mail steamer Asia, Captain Lott, arrived in the Mersey at 9 p.m. (after a detention of two hours at the bar for water), and by her we have advices from New York to the 22d, Boston 23d, and Halifax to the 24th ult. inclusive. The Asia sailed from Boston at 12.30 p.m. on the 23d, and at 4 p.m. on the 24th passed the roni mail steamer America hence for Boston • "same day at 9.48 p.m. arrived at Halifax, where she remainetl au hour and a quarter. On the Ist at 8 p.m. passd Cape Clear.

The steam ship Hermann left New York on the 19th ult. for Southampton and Bremen, with 250 passengers, but in consequence of the violence of the easterly storm then prevailing was forced to come to anchor off Qaarantine, from whence she took her final departure at seven o'clock in the morning of the 20th ult. The Ariel, for Havre, with 190 passengers, also sailed at noon. These two steamers took out only about 234,030 dollar.; in specie. A bag of letters addressed to the United States Consul at Paris, sealed with the " Depart ment of State, U. S. A.," clandestinely put in charge of a passenger per Ariel, was seized and sent on to the Department at Washington, from which it purports to come. The steamer United States left on the 19th for San Juan, Nicaragua, with passengers for California. The Northern Light hat+ arrived from California. A proposition was pending in the legislature to divide the present territory of California into three distinct States, to be called California, Colorado, and Shasta, neither one of which, it was said, if the division should be accomplished, will permit the introduction of slavery. The business of San Francisco had taken no turn for th& better, but the prospect was evidently brightening. A despatch in the Boston Clo.onicle of the 23d ult., dated from Washington, May 22, says :—" It is said that R. W. Cameron, of New York, now in England, has obtained the contract for the convey ance of the mails from Europe to Australia (via Panama), once a month, at the rate of 7,0001. the round trip. Two first-class steam-ships are to be, built in this country and two in England for the• use of this line." By way of New Orleans Advices from Havhna to the 15th ult. had been received. It reported that the blockade o f th e p or ts will be raised on the return of Gen. Concha from Matanzas and Carde nas, whither he had gone to inspect thetroops. Two extensive commercial failures had taken place — one that of Arreta Brothers, the other that of Mr. Solomons. Sugar remained without change in price. The frigate Fulton left for Key Weston on the 14th. The frigate Constitution was spoken on the Bth, bound into Havana. She was from the coast of Africa, bound to Portsmouth. From Great Salt Lake it was learned that Col. Steptoe had failed in bringing to punishment the Indian murderers of Captain Gunnison and party, solely through the duplicity of the Mormons, who, it appears, take every opportunity to impress upon the minds of the savages the idea that the Mor mons and Americans are two distinct people. This is done with the ulterior design of forming a league against the United States authorities, in case of any attempt by the government to abridge the power of the Mormon leaders. It is reported that Colonel Steptoe has declined the governorship_ of Utah territory, and that Chief Justice Kinney has been offered the appointment. The United States' packot Hermann arrived at Cowes yesterday, on her way to Bremen. She left New York on the 19th ult. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MAT 22. There are abundant hidicatious of lather MN ILA the money market. 'Very little paper of the first character finds its way to the brokers, and there the rates range from 6to 7 per cent.

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 3. By the Madrid, with the Peninsular mails, we learn that the Portuguese steamer Donna Maria If. arrived at Lisbon on the 25th of May, with dates from Buenos Ayres, April 7 ; Monte Video, 12 ; Rio de Janeiro, 28 ; Bahia, May 3 ; Pernam buco, 5 - St. Vincent's, 15 ; and Madeira, 22. The Donna Maria had 300 passengers, princi pally third-class, for Lisbon, all of whom were sub. ject to five days' quarantine. Nothing of interest had taken place in the River Plate since the advices per Avon. The General Assembly convened by the Argentine Government had not taken place on the 4th of April for want of sufficient numbers. On the frontier 2,000 Indiana, headed by Calfucura and Catriel, had as sembled near Azul, with hostile intentions, and Measures were being adopted to receive them. No further news had been received of the Brazil squa dron or the progress of negotiations with Paraguay. At Rio de Janeiro it was generally believed the Prrana Cabinet would quit office as soon as the Ministers could lay before the Chambers, which were to assemble on the 3d of May, the reports of the different departments ; but there was no cer tanty as to the party who would be intrusted with the formation of a new Cabinet. Capitalists were preparing to take shares in the new railroad pro jected to the interior, under Government guaran tee of 7 per cent., but it appeared probable the different plans afloat for improvements in Brazil would exceed the capital obtainable, and that some of them were likely to receive a temporary check. Viscount Ita,borahy, the founder of the Bank of Brazil, had been appointed President of that esta blishment, which had contracted its circulation and increased the tightness of the money market; The exchange on London for 90 days' sight opened on the 23d at 274. - . . At Bahia holders of sugar attempted to maintain h'gher rates, but were generally compelled to sell. At.Pernambuco import and export business con tinued very dull. Sugars had come iri but slowly, yid prices of the better grades of whites" and mus u?vadoes kept very high. Exchange on London done at 27 to 27&.

The Madrid br:r.:gs Lisbon dates to the 29th ult. The French steamer Newton and the Spanish schooner Cruz were the only foreign ships of war in port. The Portuguese steam-packet Dorn Pedro It. was to leaye Lisbon for the Brazils on the 30th of May, and the Donna Maria 11. about the 20th of JUDO. It was understood at Lisbon that the Matra Rail road contract would be urged through the Cortes, notwithstanding the municipal oppoSition which claimed as city property, under an old grant, all grcunds ,reclaimed from the banks of the Tagus, where a pier is projected to carry the railroad from Lisbon to Belem. The Count de Thomar brought forward a vote of censure on the 28th ult., affecting the government of the ex-Covernor of Angola, Viscount Pinheiro, which was rejected by 31 peers contreesix. - At Gibraltar exchanges on London were quoted for bills at 90 days' date, at 514 ; Paris ditto, sf. 36e. ; Marseilles, sf. 36c. ; Genoa, sf. 42c.

Thiers narrates the negotiations and confidential in terTurse of the two Emperors; in July, 1807, at Tilsit. There, he tells us, they discussed `f that immense system by which they were held joint rulers over Europe. The possible, the probable partition of the Turkish empire, w.:73 the continual topic of conversation." Napoleon was to have the maritime provinces, Russia the banks of the Danube as far as the Balkans. One day, says the historian, " the two Emperors, on returning from a long ride, shut themselves up in the writing cabinet, where numerous maps were spread out. Napoleon, app,_!rently continuing a conversation briskly begun with Alexander, desired M. de Meneval to bring the map of Tarkey, unfolded it, then resumed the conversation, and, suddenly clapping his finger on Con s:‘.ctinople, exclaimed several times, regardless of being he :rd by his secretary, in whom he had absolute confi dence —Constantinople I. Constantinople! Never! 'tis the Empire of the world!" M. Thiers adds in a note that he had these particu- Lzi .,, ! rom M. de Meneval himself, and, that their accu racy is guarantee .I by the 'correspondence of MM. de f'avary and de Caulaincourt. They prove, he remarks, tleC, notwithstanding all the efforts of Alexander, the xiit of the Bailians was never passed. The Occult Treaty signed at Tilsit, he further * states, merely contained a stipulation that in case the Turkish Government refused the mediation of France, its Euro pean provinces, excepti ng C ons t an ti no pl e an dßoumelim, should be relieved "from the vevations of the Porte." Anxious, then, as Napoleon was in 1807 to gain the R;;;.3ian alliance, there was one price he would not pay for it. He would not tolerate Russian dominion,south of the Balkans ; and th oug h he professed, under certain contingenci es , a willingness to advance the Russian frontiers to that range, subsequent events proved that he was insincere in those professions, and never intended any real augmentation of the Russian empire at fhe ex pease of the Sultan.—Examiner. DINNER AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. — The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained at dinner on Satur day last, in the Egyptian Hall, a number of the judges and of members of the bar, with some other guests, amounting in all to about 150. The "loving cup" having been sent round with the forms prescribed by immemorial usage, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given by his lordship, and cordially received by the company. The Lord Mayor then proposed " the Health of her Majesty's Judges," coupling with the toast the name of Lord Campbell, and passing a glowing enlogiurn on the ability, the learning, and the integrity 'which those distinguished personages displayed in dis charging the duties of their high offices. The toast having been duly honoured, Lord Campbell acknow ledged the compliment. He said that he and his brother judges felt deeply the high honour which bad been con ferred upon them on that occasion. Some otilltrr, toasts followed, and the company separated at au cagy hover.
