Tho News.

The Cunard steamer Niagara reached Halifax
yesterday morning, with advices from Liverpool to
the 18th, being two days later than received on the
day previous by the Franklin, at this port. The
news by the Niagara is of special interest to the
mercantile community. The market for both cotton
and breadstus had improved since the arrival Of the
two last steamers from this side, and money was
more abundant than had been previously known for
several years Consols had run up to within n
shade of one hundred, a figure that had not been
touched since 1915. The English people are again
in state of excitement in consequence of the ra-
nd sailing of our vessels. The American clipper
Witch of the Wave has made the trip from Canton
to London in the unparalleled time of ninety days.
The political information brought by the Niagara,
though interesting, is not of special Importance.
The Niagara does not bring us any intelligence of
the arrival sf the Washington at Southampton.
Our advices from Halifax, by telegraph, do not
mention her. There need be no anxiety, however,
for her safety When the Niagara left, she was in
her twenty-frs day, and. if we recollect rightly,
she was once over that time in making western
passage. The Canada was once about twenty days.
The heightened passage of the Washington has been
caused by heavy weather. The Niagara, just mr.
rived at Halifax, on her outward passage, left Bos
ton four days after the Washington and reported
very heavy weather, protracting her passage TO
thirteen days and nine hours, equal to about four
teen days and half from this port.
The following are the names of the passengers

We publish to-day the manifesto of the Southern
wings who seeded from the late wing caucus at
Washington, for reasons which are most distinctly
set forth in the manifesto itsolf- The document is
evidently deliberately proposed exposition, and is
addressed to the wings of the United States, from
which it appears their first attachment is still to the
old party. But they hint very cminously at the or
ganization Of a third great National party mat
ter which nov depends upon the action of the two
old parties at Baltimore. 1t is quite apparent
that the manifesto men are prepared for the new
movement should il be followed up, after the
two old fogy parties have entered their nags and
!iockies for the sweepstakes. On the o.her hand,
our last night's dispetche. from Washington in
forms us that NJ. Mangum is coming out with
counter manifesto. Why, of course he is, and is
pected to do it TO dsfne the position of the Chair
towards Scott, and o. Scott perhaps, towards Sew
ard. But better than all, notwithstanding his fear
OF disgusting the pubc," it appears the old Gene
raj himself, having bean smoked out, Will shortly
write letter endorsing he Compromises, Fugitive
Slave law aud ali. Wei, seeing is believing; but II
we see it We may believe it. il ought to core out
soon.
Senator Gwin has received letter from Colonel
Fremont which announces that the latter was 40
tualy arrested in London, on tbs sth ult and kept
in durance vile for twenty-four hours, on charge
made by unknown parties, for liabilities to the
amount Of so 600 growing out OF the conquest Of
California. With the view of relieving Colonel T.
and Others Of all further trouble from like cause,
ON motion Of Mr. Gwin, the Senate took up bill
creating BoaYd Of Commissioners 10 examine and
pay all just claims against this government in con-
sequence Of the subugaton Of California. The
whole subject finally referred 10 the Comsaittce
On Military AfaiIs.
Mr. Cooper made long speech In the Senate,
yesterday, the non-interention resolutions lie
admired the policy Of Washington, bat did not per
eeye that either these OF any other resolutions on
this subject would be Of any use whatever at the
present time. lie declared that the spirit Of repub
licanism wac not crushed in Europe, and would not
be so long rs newspapers, railroads. and tecgraphs
were in existence. True, newspapers will eventually
emil bten aud educate the people. and make them

nearly all the newspapers IN Europe, out Of England,
are .usslcd al the present time, and only per-
snit.ed 10 spcak the sentiments Of their rulers.
