411111 VAL OF THE CITY. OF WASHINGTON

The Philadelphia Screw Steam-ship Company's
steamer City of Washington arrived yesterday fore-
eoon:from New York; with 81 cabin passengers,
and 82,069 dollars in specie.
BY her we have advlces from New York to the
23rd ultimo, which are one day later than those
PreviOusly to hand. On the 22nd the New York,
331°neY market showed no activity, and.the rates of
discount
were scarcely so firm as previously re-
ported. First class paper was in demand at from
7)
to .8 per cent. The stock market was active and
prices showed an upward tendency. There, Wl.l'S a
firm feeling in the cotton market, and the sales
reached from 700 to 800 bales, on the basis of 15 to
_l°4 cents for upland and Orleans middling. -The
'Tarkets for breadatuffa were dull, and the prices of
4.011 r was inclining downwards. ' t •
The screw-steamer Circassian, from Liverpool,
arrived
Out at St. John's, Newfoundland, on the
Vud of July, after a passage Of eleven days: The
ew :York papers had received news by her, by
telegraph, which was three clays later than that
supplied to them by steamers direct to New York,
Ind anticipating the news by the Asia, which left
taverpool on the same day as the Circassian.
There'is no political or general news of interest
by the present arrival.
The Secretary of the Interior had despatched an
'agent to Minnesota to ascertain the true condition
-of affair's,, and with instructions to the Superin-
tendent of Indian affairs in reference to the apiare-
%ended troubles in that Territory.
Senatol Bigler has written to a friend in Wash- •
ington, emphatically denying that he and Governor
Walker had entered into arrangements for the
Purchase of the Kansas Indian lands.
The Washington Union, a semi-official organ. of
the 22 ult,, under the head of "rebellion in Kae-
'Bll6," has the following :
We have just received authentic intelligence from Kansas
that the abolitionists in that territory are in a State of rebellion,
'and upon the Verge of committing overt ac's of treason, The
proclamation of Governor Walker, addressed to the people of
the city of Lawrence, explains the character of this proceeding,
and warns them of the consequences if they persist in a course
of rebellious defiance to the laws. He declares that the laws
of the territory will be executed. The pledge of the General
Government and his oath of office will oblige him to employ
the whole force of that Government, if necessry, to carry out
W!lose pledges,
and see that the laws are carried into effect.
e are advised that the troop at Leavenworth that were
Labout to march to Utah -have been ordered to move upon
awrence, and that Governor Walker will accompany
!hem. This shows that he is in earnest, and that he means
to do, his duty promptly. Brother Beecher thought that the
lotgic:of Sharpe's rifles was more convincing than the Bible,
men used against border ruffians; and we are not without
faith in the convincing influences of the same species of argu-
tMinis uent when addressed to the rebellious abolitionist., through
muskets.. Indeed, it seems to be admitted that no
oth ersargualent will do. Governor Walker has done every
thing that man could do, to give confidence to the people of
Xansas, to restore peace and quiet to the territory, to protect
the rights of all, to execute the laws fairly any justly, and to
carry out the just and proper policy of the government. He
lave them assurances of this in his inaugural address, in his
Speeches, and in his personal interviews and conversations. So
anxious was he to satisfy these mad fanatics of his fair inten-
tions, and of the justice and good faith of his government,
and to take away from them every cause or shadow of
!Inn% for discontent and resistance to the laws, that
In the judgment of many, he went further than was fairly
Warranted by his instructions. His anxiety in this respect was
so great that it subjected him to censure and abuse. A s nisi I
Portion of the South thought that they saw in his anxious
etlaite conciliate the abolitionists a betrayal of their
Pectiliar interests, and straightway denounced him as a trator
and:violator of a most sacred trust—with what justice the
argument 'which we have alrsady adduced, and the present
attitude of the'abolitionists in Kansas,' very fully Show. In
the,presenee' of the griat difficUlties to be overcome, sur-
rounded by men dis fleeted to him and to the arvere-
ent thatl.sent him there, he shaped his course, and
initiated a policy so just and fair in itself that, it
carried out faithfully, it would take from them every
Platisible precxt for further resistance to the laws.
But yet it has not satisfied them. They think
that he has conceded too little ; the alarmists of the
South think that he has conceded tco much—and thus he is
assailed by the one and resisted by the other ; but the opinion
of the people of the cseuntry is, that he meant to do right,
anti they will sustain him. Certain it is, that the laws of the
Territory will be executed, and the policy of -the government
carried out to its fullest extent. Our political friends at the
south who have cast censure on Goiersor Walker, must see,
in this proclamation, a determinatien on his part to maintain
the laws, while he is exerting himself for the, peaceable solution
of the Kansas difficulties. They have evidently mistaken
the man, if they have at any time supposed that his sympathies
were with the abolitionists of that Territory. All doubts
should now be removed.

n,,oorardingshouse keepers over the intelligence .of the shifting
ainn and the ~bet interests of the unfortunate sailors, is
melt fully completed. The spectacle presented' yesterday
afternoon at the Spruce-street dock, from which the packet-
ship Westmoreland was just hauling out, would have satisfied
any one that if the sailor is to be disentitralled from his present
fealty to the boarding-house keeper, other means than those
yet tried must be put into requisition. The crew upon the
ship had all received the customary advance previous to sailing.

THE REPRESENTATION OF, BIRMING aAx.

Seldom has a constituency been honoured with so many
offers of devoted service, this being seemingly the result of
a knowledge that Birmingham possesses few gentlemen of
ability and positi in, such as would justify their townsmen
sending them into the H. use of Commons. The Liberals
talked chiefly of Mr: W. Mathew', Mr. T. A. Attwood,
and Mr. (Forge D twson; but the first is too bully em-
ployed in iron-making, the s:csnd pleaded that his custo-
mers kept him c'osely confined to his bank parlonr, and Mr.
D iwson was unwill4z to stand in the way of Mr Bright,
whose claims to the support of the electors he had advocated
through the newspaper with which he is connected. Mr.
Baton Webster, a wire manufacturer of the highest
respectability, had also been named, bit it was understood
that he had positively refused to allow himself to be put in
nomination. The Tories talked of bringing forward S.r
Stafford Northcote, the rejected of Lord Ward and North
Devon, and also Mr. Wnateley, Q.C., who has local family
claims ; but the chances for a Tory in Birmingham are
very small indeed. Until this morning the prosp et o
the retuen of Mr. Bright seemed very clear. Oa Tuesday,
however, it was kr own that Mr Webster bad been waited
on by a deputation supposed to represent the gun trade,
the licensed victuallers, and the retail brewers, to all of
whose interests Mr. Bright is supposed to be antagonistic,
and the result is that Mr. Webster has consented to become
a candidate. On Tuesday evening the Town Hall was
crowded in every available place, at which Mr. Lacy, one
of the b,rough magistrates, was called upon to preside.
Mr. George Edmonds, clerk of the peace, made an ener-
getic speech in support of Liberal principles, and proposed
that Mr. John Bright should he invited to become their
• candidate. Mr. Alderman Manton seconded the motion.
Mr. Attwood, amidst confusion, proposed that. Mr. Web-
ster should be the candidate. Mr. J. D. Goodman, the
chairman•of the gun trade, seconded the invitation to Mr.
Webster. The Chairman declared that, by a large majority,
the choice had fallen on Mr. Bright, and three times three
cheers followed for the• popular candidate. A working-
, man's cemmittee has beep formed to promote Mr. Bright's
election.

TUE LLTE EUGENE

A despatch from Paris has put us ,in possesiion of the
fact thatoEugene Sue died on the morning of the 3rd Of
August, at six o'clock. He had long been struggling with
a painful and, incurable malady ; and there is, alas ! very
little reason to doubt that his bodily sufferings were
aggravated by mental affliction—by the consciousness that
he was an exile from the country he loved, that he was a
banished, proscribed, and outlawed man. It' is not,
however, as a politician that we wish to speak of Eugene
Sue. Identified with • the extreme Democratic and
Socialist party, he was publicly a Bed Republican and
privately a Sybarite of the order of Mieabaiii. • -Eugene
Sue was the' son Of a celebrated French surgeon of that
name, whose greatest claim to celebrity lies in a curious
controversy in which he was once engaged relative to
the painfulness or painlessness of the punishment of
death by the guillotine. The future novelist himself
served for some time in a medical capaeity'in the Royal
Marine of France, and we have a memento of his maritime
experience in the shape of a ponderous History of the
French Navy; now little remembered and less read. When'
about thirty years of age, M. Sue came to settle in Paris,'
and devoted himself to literary pursuits. His earlier-
Works, " Pauline," " The Watchtower of Boat-Ven,"- ad&
" The Female Blae Beard," .acquired for him a con-
siderable reputation as a melodramatic writer ; but it
was not till the publication of his extraordinary romance,,
the "Mysteries of Paris," in 1842-3, that he attained
that eminence as a writer of fiction, Which made even the'
great masters of that branch of Art, Koulie a-. 1. Dumas,
tremble at the popularity of their danger .)us rival . The
" The Mysteries" were followed by a novel which created'
even a greater sensation, "The Wendel ing Jew," which
was remarkable not only for its enthralling
.interest as a
romance, but for the peculiar political ,vie*s therein
for the first time developed by
,the author. These Works,
brought enormous sums to Eugene Sue. For ' Thelirati-
deriug Jew'' alone, he is stated to have received no lessA,
sum than 130,000 franc. or six thousand pounds sterling.'
To there succeeded ' Martin ; or, tlieXemOirs of a, Valet
de Clambre," and "The Seven CalsitAl Sins," and some
works of minor interest Fr,,Oin' the period Of 'the revolu-
tion of 1848, Eugene Sus threw hiniFelf entirely into
politics. Ho wap a member of the revolutionary assemblies
of that ntoimy eras and though. after his prescriP•ion, he
still showed himself occasionally in print, frbni his 'retreat
at Annecy, in Savoy, , works were more
political
pamphlets than novels, Eugene Sue wits dot ‘a Moral
writer ; his, works, on the contrary, are replete with
volaptu.M denriptions ancl violsnt exaeetatiortsoinit,
bid sentiment. But he had great power, a greV facultY
for description, and an almost unexaimpled talent for eons
struction. Withal, in his sympathy for the people; their
rights and their wrongs, he was as eloquent as. he was
honest. In his private life he was lukurioute but liberal,
cynical but eharitable.
