lrr pages arc again literally OVERLOOKING with
+ -mation from almost every portion Of the inha-
p.ablc gloce the most interesting Of which is the
weeks later adyiees from Europe, received by the
arrival Of the steamship Franklin, at this port, and
the Canada at Ia flax, The most striking feature Of
tic news brought by these vessels, is the announce
ment that the fishery dispute was beginning to
create sensation in England, in proof Of which
ioe funds had slightly receded. Nevertheless, the
A1ndon Timcs as win be seen by the extract from
That paper, thinks that an undue Importance has
Rseu given TO the matter in this country, ana
that the whole affair is but little more than
scheme TO create capital. By-the-way, there arc
limitations OF movement on the part Of England
and France to take Mexico under their protection,
IN order TO check the further southern progress OF
Ghe United States. What does all this mean
Look out! Prince Napoleon, son Of Jerome, it is
ramored, is coming out minister to this country
ii place Of NJ. sartiges. The general features Of
the intelligence from the different governments
Possess considerable interest. Cotton had again
slightly rtccded at Liverpool.
We publish to-day the particulars Of the failure
Of Flores expedition against The republic Of Ecua
DOR 10 consequence OF the revolt Of his troops and
Ear this movement goes or was intended to 60,
tic whole thing has blown into the air, However,
there is another movement against the government
OF Ecuador, which may yet involve this and tho
adjacent republics in considerable commoton and
civil war and that is the revolt Of Gen. Elizalde,
who should be succeed, win oyorturn the existing
government. Should this new movement also turn
ont failure, then may expect that the govern
rnent Of Ecuador assisted by the republics Of New
Grenada and Venezuela, viii attack Peru for the
assistance she afforded Flores expedition; but in
M probability the attitude Of Chill, and the friend
N relations Of that republic with Peru will be suf
Gent obstacles TO such project But, in any view
n tle NATTER we may expect something interesting
from the two republics before long
Secretary Webster's opinion, unfolding Ameri-
can vessels in taking guano from the Iobos Islands,
appears to have aroused the indignation Of the
Peruvian government, and, as consequence, orders
have besn given TO reinforce the garrison on the
islands Now, as some dozen vessels sailed for the
Islands several weeks ago, and as Commodore Nc
Auley was ordered to protect them in taking
guano Il is not improbable that, unless this order is
speedily eountermanded the Peruvians win wake
ur some fine morning and find that their garrison
and it, contents have been knocked into the sea, by
the long guns on board the frgate Raritan This
manure dispute really begins to assume ap ominous
and dis7 greeable appearance.
Orr columns, this morning, contain late news from
Chill. and the Society Islands. The accounts from
the latter, particularly Interesting Queen Po-
mare it viii be SEEM has abdicated in favor OF her
three children II is also thought that matrimo-
NAL alliance VIII DO effected between the Queen Of
Bolobolo-the ex-queen's daughter-and Prince
Kamehameha, Of the Sandwich Islands.
Among the petitions presented in the United
mates Senate, yesterday, was one asking for an APP
Sropriation for the improvement Of He'll Gate. It
IL hoped that Congress win treat this matter with
proper attention, and lend its aid to the open
ing Of this maritime thoroughfare to our
city. True, private enterprise has Of late done
great deal towards removing some Of the most dam
gerous rocks in the channel, but much more efficient
service be rendered, if the government viii fur
nish the necessary mcanT, as it should beyond all
question After the disposition Of considerable bu-
sness Of no particular Importance, the Senate took
mp the bin making appropriations for the construc
ton Of ship canal around the Falls Of ST. Mary.
Gen. Cass led of in speech on the subject, in
which he showed the incalculablc Importance of
such work. The debate which ensucd viii be
found usually interesting.
il is pleasing to observe that our Congressman
have at last determined to do something towards Sc
curing safety to the lives Of passengers on steam ves-
sels. bill for this purpose passed tho Senate some
time ago but il did not 90 far enough-it was not
strong enough-and but little or no attention was
paid to Il by the members Of the House Of Represen-
tatves, ill after the awful destruction Of the Henry
Clay, by which 50 many human beings were hurried
into another world and many hcarth-stones we're
rendered desolate by the eternal absence of some
one or more members ofthe family circle Now, how
ever the House is fairly aroused 70 the importance
Of eTectualy preventing, possible, any future ac-
cidents Of that, or any other kind A number Of
essential amendments have been made to the Senate
bill, and the matter will up for consideration
On Thursday.
Several amendments were, yesterday, made in
the House, to the bill granting land to the various
States for the benefit Of the INDECENT insane. This
very prascworthy measure appears to meet with
almost universal appreciation; and had It not been
contrary TO the rules, which require that no bill
shall be read twice on the same day, without gene
raj consent, il would, no doubt, have passed yes
terdAy. In tho course Of the day, personal ex-
PLANTATION took place between Mcgsrs. Durkee, Of
Wisconsin, and Aiken, Of South Carolina, with re-
