The Foreign News-Arrav.l Of she Bsit.nsia.
BY the arrival of this steamer we have sixteen
days later intelligence from all parts of Europe.
The news, in commercial point of view, is
highly important, and must add millions to the
wealth of this country. The advance in cotton
reaches three-eighths of a penny per pound, and
the advance in corn about four shillings sterling
per quarter. There had been large sales of the
former, but the high prices ofthe latter had check
ed sales.
The political intelligence possesses great deal
of interest. The entente cordiaie no longer exists
between England and France, and France ana
Spain had formed alliance similar 10 tnat
which has for sometime past existed between
France and Great Britain. There is no probabi-
lity of the rupture becoming very serious, but IT
changes the relative osition of the principal
powers of Europe. In spite OF the protests OF
England, the marriage of the Queen Of Spain
and the Infanta had been contaminated, and
there was very little probability Of any difficulty
growing out of the movement. ~ ~
The Position OF PARTIES In the Legislature of
New York.
The late election h as given very interesting
aspect to the politics of this State. We have a
Governor who is hals wing and half anti-renter;
a Lieuten ant Governor who is three-fourths dem
ocrat and one-fourth ant-renter; an Assembly
strongly wings, and a Senate with a democratic
majority of ten. Tins, there is no ascendancy OF
any party--each is a check on the other; and the
position of parties will give rise to the most COM
plcated manGuvering on every side, that has
ever occupied the wits of either party since the
time that John Van Buren, dealt in stocks and
Benjamin F. Butler sighed for the stated preaching
Of the gospel at Sandy Hill.
We believe that u. S. Senator is to be
elected in place of the Hon. John A. Dix,
whose term expires in 1S47. Will the wings, hav-
ing the preponderance on joint ballot, be able to
elect their Senator? Or will the Senate, having
majority of ten in their body, refuse to go into an
election If so, the great State of New York will
be for some time without a representation in the
Senate of the United Scates, and we shall be in the
condition in which Tennessee was placed some
years ago. This will be particularly funny, to say
the least. Nt- y
Will the locofocos of New York be able to re-
cruit their strength before the next Presidential
election? A great deal depends ON this. We
endeavored before the electon,t to restore harmony
among them, but they would not hearken to our
advice They now see their folly, and we scarce
" pity them. But there isyet hope, fthey promise
like good children, to men their ways, agree to-
cether. put away their differences, and above
all, to abide relgiousy ancl scrupousy by our all
vice. BY such means they may, ere long, regain
that ascendancy which they have now lost by
their stupidity and folly
