ARRIVAL OF THE ERICSSON.

The United States mail veamer Ericsson, Capt.
Lowber, arrived here at eight o'clock last night,
bringing later news, forty-five passengers, bat no
specie.
The news to hand does not possess any
importance. There was a Cabinet meeting at
Washington on the Bth inst , and it is reported that
the recent rejection of the Dallas• Clarendon treaty
was under -consideration. The cabinet are said to
be a unit on this important subject. They believe
that thm statement of the British government is
corrt ct as to Ruatan, but do not esteem it a
sufficient reason for• the rrjeetion of the treaty. It
is stated that Lord Napier deeply regrets the
altered condition of things. The cabinet
has also been occupied with Kansas affairs,
the Honourable it. J. Walker being pre-
sent for several hours. He would take the oath
of office as governor• in a few days. The. official
and private accounts daily received induce both
him and the administration to believe that there
will be no serious, if any, obstruction to the ad-
justment of the pending difficulties in that ter-
ritory.

One or the New York papers in an article on
Kansas says—" These troubles in Kansas are the
result of the dirty intrigues, the electioneering
tricks awl plots of outside Presidential sectional
agitators, North and South. If left to themselves,
the local interests of all parties in Kansas would
speedily bring about a crystalization. But, unfor
tunateiy, the Seward organs, and the Seward mana-
gers of a Northern agitation find it their policy to keep
Kansas " bleed in g, "an d the scheming, reckless, ultra
politicians of the South are governed by precisely
the same ruling idea. Thus the stand aloof policy
of the free State party within Kansas and the snap-
judgment policy adopted by the pro-slavery party,
suite alike the purposes of Mr. Seward as a
Northern candidate for the succession and of Mr.
Walker or Mr. Jefferson Davis as a Southern
aspirant. The malign influences of our outside
sectional schemes for the Presidency and for the
spoils of the succession, have thus kept alive these
border troubles ; and these causes will operate to
fan the rekindling flame into a consuming
fire, unless the President at the meeting
of Congress should step in between these reck-
less agitators and the country and bring up
the leading nigger worshippers of the house and
the leading nigger drivers of the Senate fairly and
squarely to face the music. That Mr. Buchanan
will do so we are abundantly assured from the
plain and hon,st suggestions of his inaugural. In
the meantime, between the acting Governor,
Stanton, and the dormant Governor Robinson, we
see that the ease is made up in Kansas—that there
is no compromise—that there will be no pacifica-
tion and no settlement of the controversy. Perhaps
Governor Walker has been waiting to see whether
it will be most expedient for him to go to Kansas
this summer or to Texas. We should say, let him
look after his railroad affairs in Texas, as the lease
in Kansas is made up and the game blocked till
the meeting of Congress."
We extract the following piquant paragraph
from a New York paper :—" At various times re-
cently telegraphic despatches have appeared in the
papers, representing that serious obstructions to
canal navigation in this State existed, in conse-
quence of breaks, &c. These reports- have been
promulgated by the agents of the railroad lines
competing with the canals. The trick is fully ex-
posed in an article published in another part of
to-day's paper. The main lines of canal are in good
order."

The celebrated Burdell murder case, under
judicial investigation in the Court of Oyer
and Terminer was approaching its close. A.
paper of the 9th instant thus sums up the evi-
dence taken on the previous day :—" The defence
closed its evidence before five o'clock yesterday
afternoon, after having examined quite a cloud of
witnesses, including Helen, Augusta and George
Cunningham, and young Snodgrass. One over-
hanging mystery around this mysterious
case has been dissipated by the evidence of
a chemist who resides at 85, Bond-street, who
had been for some time making experiments, in
which had been used scraps of woollen cloth and
leather, and all of which he had, on this particular
nights collected together and placed in a stove iu
his laboratory. This fully accounts for the
" strange, peculiar odour" that polluted the air of
Bond street on the night of the 31st January. The
family physician of Mrs. Cunningham testified to
the fact that for two or three years past she has
been suffering so much from rheumatism that the
joints of her arms and hands, particularly her
right, were considerably weakened. A visit is to
be paid by the court and jury to the premises.
The prosecution and defence have each four• hours
assigned to them for the summing up to-day."
