The News.

we have three days later advioes from Europe, which
we publish this morning The most important fea-
ture Of this intelligence is the appointment, by the
British government, Of Thomas Barring, brother
Of Lord Ashbnrton as special ambassador to Wash
ington for the settlement Of the fishery question.
1t win be seen that the bold and emphatic stand
taken by Mr.. Webster upon this subject, in his
Marshfeld proclamation, had created profound
sensation in England, particularly in the manufac
turing districts, and that the pacific attitude
Of President Fillmore was hailed with undisguise
satisfaction While this is strong evidence of the
aisinelination Of England to rupture with the
United States, it confirms our preceding advices
that che had reeeded from her assumption of
poly Of the Northeastern fisheries. Mr.. Barring will
doubtless come to Washington with large margin
Of Discretionary power for the arrangement of
treaty upon this fishery question; and from the very
amieable temper of Her Majesty's government, it
will be the fault of Mr.. Webster if more enlarged
privileges and facilities not secured to our fish,
ermen than those which have been grudgingly
conceded them under the Convention of 1918. The
arrival Of the new ambassador will, in itself, be
hailsd at Washington peace offering, whatever
may be the issue Of his mission. So much has
been gained by the emphatic stand taken by Mr..
Webster at Marsbfeld 1t is the true policy of d.
plomacy with John Bull The cotton of the South
II argument which cannot be resisted 1t is
more powerful than fleets and armies in hostile ar
ray for it lie the of subsistence of millions of
the English people.
The intelligence from South America, via Eng
land, that General Urquiza had, by a coup d'stat,
assumed the open dictatorship Of the Argentine
Confederation is rather important though not a
sarprifing bit Of news 1t thus appears that those
people have only changed one hard master for an
other, to be in his turn displaced by some other
military chieftain, or later The true prin-
ciples Of popular government never be estab.
kshed by the bayonet; and, as long it lasts, the
military system Of the Spanish American republics
viii only vibrate between anarchy and despotism.
Happy is that government which stands, within
itself, upon a broader and firmer basis than the
barbaric platform of muskets bombshells and artil-
lery.
The intelligence relative to the crops in Europe
is still important. The amount of damage they
have sustained is, of course, not yet known but
sufficient has been published to improve the prices
Of -four from nnepence to shilling, in the three
days previous to the departure of the Asia. 1t is
too soon, however, to tell with any certainty to
the effect to be produced by the unfavorable cond
ton Of the harvests.
ton correspondent that both the Senate committees
for the investigation and exposition of Galphinism,
in all its FORMS going ahead with the work. and
will report all the facts thus far colsoted prior to
the close of the present session 1t is Md the gov
eminent refused to place the evidence in the Gard-
ner case before the committee of which Mr. Soule is
the chairman, for the that it might interfere
with the trial in the Supreme Court; nevertheless,
ia or hos aOed IN
collect much interesting information, and in addi-
tion thereto General Houston's committee has
cured large amount of evidence, all Of which will
doubtless form very curious and extraordinary
chapter in the political history of our country.
Our special correspondent writes that it is proba-
BILE that Mr.. Benefits Land Distribution bill will
be passed day, after being amended by appendng
to it some of the rejected Western Railroad bills.
Well, if they are determined to wrest the public
lands from the government, this is perhaps the least
Objectionable way that has been proposed for do
ing 1t will give to each Of the States a share Of
the domain, instead of granting it to private ndi-
viduas, is provided for in that Unlawful and per-
nicious Fourerite scheme, known as the Free Farm
bill We are likewise informed that the Committee
on Foreign Relations have prepared report on the
difficulty with Mexico, relative to the Tehuantepec
treaty, in which it is insisted that the spulations
Of the Garay grant shall be fulfilled 1t is further
asserted that the Senate will sustain the report by
large majority. Should this be done, Mexico will
certainly have to succumb, else she will have
trouble. She has been lodging around this matter
now about long enough, and it is time that she
made TO understand that it is necessary for her to
stick to her pledges.
For once, during the present session, the sympa.
thies of the members Of the United States Senate
have been actually aroused 1t yesterday stated
that poor mechanic had been in Washington for
nine months engaged in the prosecution OF a small
claim, and that he was now too poor to get away
from the city, whereupon the Senate Immediately
ordered the engrossment Of his claim. Was business
ever before despatched so speedily BY vote Of
thirty to twentysix(a pretty full Senate only six
members absent)-the body took up the House bill
Tor the election Of public printer The debate on
The subject, which occupied q greater portion
OF the day, was Of rather curious character
Truman smith had great deal TO say about his
consistency, and Mr.. Mangum, Of North Carolina,
who it was at one time generally supposed would
be placed on the Scott ticket for the vice Pre-
sdency referred to the recent course Of Secretary
Webster as any thing else than worthy Of himself
and Of the WING party. This shows that the Web
ster movement in the South is greatly dreaded by
the moro prominent Scott wings. Finally, the bill
was passed by twenty-five to thirteen. By it Con-
gress is to elect printer to DO the Congressional
and Government work, and the President is to select
another printer to superntend its execution.
The Senate yesterday passed the River and Harbor
ill by thirty.fve to twenty-three. If the House
agrees 10 the amendments TO this bill it win do
away with one Of the great issues between the wing
and democratic parties for some time 10 come. The
