The European News by the Telegraph.

The European News by the Telegraph.
The Hibernia, arrived at Halifax, has supplied
one weeks later news from Europe, by the way Of
the telegraph. Cotton has advanced again, the
money market is easy, the weather favorable for
the crops in England, and American securities
have not receded, though the market for them is
represented as inactive.
The Collins steamer Atlantic has made 1.-THE
shortest passage, between this port and Liverpool,
ever known either on the outward or homeward
bound voyage. The run was made in ten days and
sixteen hours. and against head wind, the vessel
made three hundred and nineteen miles in twenty
four hours. This news will give great delight to
our ronntrymen, who have embarked great dea
of national pride in this line of steamers.
The news of polite Al character is extensive,
though the details few. The Queen has been
assaulted and beaten by man named Plato, who
seems mo- 10 have reasoned well on the result Of
such conduct. The House of Commons, singu-
iary enough, has supported the ministry, on the
Greek question, against the House of Lords, by
majority Of fory-six votes. On the arrival of the
last were prepared for this event, as there
were rumors that the Greek question had been
settled with France. These rumors are now con-
frmed, though there can be little doubt that the
cabinet will soon be obliged to withdraw.
In Paris, the bill for the relief Of the President
carried by the same majority sustained the
English ministry on the Greek question-forty-six
votes. Several arrests for political offences have
taken place, and the Presidents power seems. os-
tensibly, to be consolidating General Changarnier
is now at his elbow.
The Spanish government, IL is said, are much
incensed against our government, with regard to
the Cuban affair. Such news not unexpected.

DOUBLE SHEET.


Both houses of Congress met at the usual hour
yesterday, for the purpose of making arrange
-ments for the funeral of the amented Gen. Taylor,
and adjourned Immediately after performing that
business. 1t will be seen that Mr.. King, of Ala
bama, has been appointed President pro tenn of the
Senate. The arrangements agreed upon by both
houses FOR the funeral, will be found under our
telegraphc head.
We learA that Mr.. Fillmore has selected the
National inteitigenoer the medium of commu-
nicaiion with the public, instead of the Republic,
the organ of the cabinet and that the present
impression in Washington is, that there is good
chance of the passage of the Compromise bill.
These things would seem to indicate that Mr..
Fillmore does not consider himself bound to fol-
low the administration platform, and that he is
disposed TO act for himself and without regard to
any antecedents OF the administration of Gen.
Taylor, or rather that of his cabinet.
Our correspondents at Washington send US
several dispatches connected with the formation
of the new cabinet. We hope soon to be able to
relieve our readers of their suspense In relation
to this matter, by publishing automatically the
names of the successors of the present incumbents

The INDUSTRIAL CoNaREss.-We have given al
ready many reports connected with this convention,
and continue to supply all the information that may
be necessary upon the subject. Notwithstanding
the trouble, and time, to say nothing of the valu-
able space employed for this purpose-notwithstand
ing all the debates, connections, doubts, and diff
culties, which are, from time to time, agtating
those who have been disposed to give favorable
consderat of the project, there appears to be no
promise of any good effect. In fact, SO far as we
can analyze the very curious elemental strife going
on, one purpose alone seems manifestly controlling
the large body of the trades. The whole design at
the bottom of the movement seems to be, to gain
political power for a direct appliance at the fall
elections. The socialists, they call themselves,
or the Fourierites, men of single ideas and mani
fold isms, seem very anxious to raise power that
will lift some Of these mutual admiration members
of society into the seats of the city corporation. 1t
has been said that they intend to make great
scramble for success under the old white coat for
banner, and that Horace Greeley will be put for
ward for the next Mayor. We not surprised
at it. They will run him, probably, with all pos
sble energy, with one leg of his pantaloons outside
of his boot and the other in, going it particu-
larry strong against the tea room in Tine City Hall.
Well, we shall see.

FRrE SCHooL CONVENTION At SYRAcusE.-The
fee school system is an admirable one, under our
liberal Institutions. When, however, men, who
ruled by the isnlac politics Of the day, strive to
turn the machinery Of so valuable system into
the tide Of party, we must express our misgivings
of the result, and warn the people of the danger
b. npprehended from such conduct. Il is quite
evident that il is the object of the socialist school
Of politicians TO convert the popular question of
education into the dark and benighted one Of
politics. To this end, designs have been prepared
Co make STATE appointments Of teachers, under the
free school law, end thus to make the established
schools Of the state play the part in politics
ss the established churches in England--a grand
systeri Of political power and patronage. The
people, however, will not De deceived. They viii
watch, with lynx-eyed vigilance, every step to-
wards forming an army Of schoolmastsrs, TO drill
the people into fixed lessons for every election and
will oppose, with the vgor of firm opinions, every
approach towards the establishment OF a power Al
once dangerous, and injurious TO the cause Of
popular education.
We trust that the convention At Syracuse will
not lose sight Of the immediate necessity Of
driving from the pale Of tie school movement,
every political nierioper, and every Fourierite who
a. ,pcatrs lens for the preparation OF dangerous
a scheme, ~ that which is known to lie in the
thoughts Of some Of these would-be moderl re-
formers, philosophers and political onacks.

The Atlantic's passage is thus fUe hours shorter
than the Evopa's shortest. Owing to the deep in
terest manifested to ascertain the passages Of the
Asia and Atlantic, we give table of the time of
each of those steamers The Asia left Boston
three days before the Atlantic started from New
York. According to letters from passengers on
board, the Asia's passage was nine days and twen-
ty hours, and according to the official statement of
the Cunard Company, the difference in distance
between Boston and New York is twenty one hours
in favor of the former port. In giving our table,
therefore, we add that number of hours to her
time. Thus

The Atlantic was advertised to leave on the 10th
inst, and will contest the race with the Asia,
which leaves for Boston on the 18th.
The passengers by the Atlantic have published
a card in which they bestow the highest praise to
the sea and other qualities Of that noble steamer,
and to Capt West and his assistants, for their uni
form vigilance and kindness.
The ministry have been sustained by the Com
mons in the Greek affair, by majority of 46.
The question of the increase of Louis Napoleon's
salary, has received the sanction of the French
Assembly.
The weather continues extremely favorable
throughout England, and advices from the manu-
featuring districts continue satisfactory. AT Not

THE LAWRENCE DIVORCE Casa long article
in defence Of Mr.. Bigelow Lawrence, acconpq-
MED by some remarkably curious and ente rtaining
documents, appears in our columns. 1t will be
read with avidiiy. People, generally, will be
anxious to know the whole merits and dement's of
case that has recently created the greatest sensa-
ton throughout Kentucky, and a vast deal of Gu
rioeity, conversation, and consciousness in every
other part of the country. The defence of Mr..
Lawrence has been ably prepared by his counsel,
and though it has rot hitherto been published, yet
its circulation TO considerable extent, through
private channels, has been deemed nece ssary, to
meet the statements made in the court at Louis
vile, and by the press in that quarter.
The defence shows Mr.. LAWRENCE course o.
conduct in such light, that we can only con-
slider it fair one, under all the circumstances in
which he was placed. The evidence furnished by
the letters of Mr.. and of Mrs. Ward, and of Mrs.
sallie Lawrence, now Miss Ward, cannot fail to
have its effect upon every reasonable mind. The
public will contrast the various documents, one
with another and come to conclusions that will
not be unfavorabe to Mr.. Lawrence, however
warmly some may be disposed to justify, or, at
least, to palliate that remarkable Western freedom
of manners, which seems to have brought about
tnc OOHiestlC uOuDic kuu us Sequel ldken dlto-
gether, the exposure is singular enough. 1t is a
strong testimony to the fact that small matters may
terminate in very serious circumstances, leading
to notifying and deplorable results in domestic
life.
1t will be observed that the general accuracy of
Mr. Lawrence's course is substantated and con-
frmed by the very statements of his accusers.
Very different views of the conventional conduct
of life seem to be entertained between the distin-
gushed families in Massachusetts, and Kentucky.
The climate and atmosphere of society are diff
ferent in both States In Boston, all is sober, dis
Greet stad, formal, cold and intellectual In Louis
vile, all is impusive, wild, free, unreservsd warm
and lively. Boston delights in lectures and ora
tons. Louisville runs into the frocs of balls and
masquerades. One city is the home of conven-
tionaltes-the other is the domain of impulses
and action. Contrasted, they are opposite in ideas
of elegance, refinement, gay life liberty and hap
pness. Such, at least, seems to be the CASE il we
may judge by the history of that alliance, which
was designed to blend the characteristics of two
families, at the head of these two cities
