The News.
The late European intelligence brought by the
steamship Arctic, of which comprehensive sum-
mary is elsewhere given, is very interesting. The
quotations for cotton were maintained with ten
dency to advance. There had been no change in
breadstuffs or other articles Of commerce, worthy

1t will be perceived by the report OF the proceed

tiers and things begin to assume shape from which
it may be inferred that the extra session may be
brought to close rather earlier than Anticipated The
canal question is likely to be disposed Of Blythe
proceedings OF the Asse nby it will be seen that the
final vote is to be taken Wednesday next. We see
also that Mr.. Hadley has offered amendment to the
Senate resolutions with the design doubtless Of allay
ing the disagreement which existed. The opponents
ofthe Vanderbilt scheme alege that it in substance
recognizes the existence Of the fraudulent contracts
which the lobby obtained under the law of 1851.
Mr. ", however, disclaims any such intentions, as
the decision Of the Court of Appeals annuls all mat
ters relating to those contracts from the day the de-
eisiOn was announced. STILL in order that there
may not be even any technical excuse, Mr. Hadley
proposes to insert in the amendment in the constit
ton provision plain, Ineligible and unequivocal
Mr.. H. belongs to the majority of the house, and
goes all reasonable lengths, with Mr.. LOOMS and
those who think with him; but being a sin
cere friend of the enlargement, he wishes the
work accomplished in the shortest possible time.
He believes that the Senate plan will work well,
and, with the addition which he proposes,
will vote for it. This being the case majority in

upon the proposition he proposes. Should such
harmonious action prevail in the House. there is lit
tie reason to doubt that the Senate will at once
adopt the compromise, and thus put to rest ques-
ton that has been productive of more excitement in
State Legislature than any other that ever came
up. By adopting Mr. Hadley's amendment they
would merely enact proposition which nearly every
Senator has, over and over again. conceded to be
correct and proper. Shall we have a respite upon
this canal quaelling, are there individuals in the
Legislature who desire to keep the people longer in
. state of excitement? We shall see.
The most important feature of the news furnished
by our special and other Washington correspondents
to-day, is the announcement that the jury in the
Gardner case being still unable to agree were yes
terday dismissed. They stood during the whole
time they were out, it is reported, nine for
acquittal and three for conviction Thus after two
years litigation, and after the spending of vast
sum Of money by the government to carry on the
suit we find that all that has been hitherto done
has been of no avail. With the exception of
the movements of the outgoing and incoming
clerks in the departments, there seems
to be little stirring in the shape of politics in Wash
ington. 1T is said that as soon as the President and
his cabinet have succeeded in dispesing of all the
Offices they will be able to give more attention to
the subject of foreign relations which have been
quite neglected until within few days past. The
author of the extraordinary eulogy on the govern
ment Of Russia, published in the Union a short time
ago, has acknowle dyed the deed, as will be seen by
the despatch from Sentinel He s not member
Of the Cabinet, as was insnuated by some editors
who supposed the Union to be the organ of the ad.
ministraton.
Attention is directed TO the speech of Hon. John
Bell Of Tennessee which we to day publish in full A
4 is the first wing blast upon Gen. Pierces admins
tration, it will no doubt be read with great interest
by all classes Of politicians.
The summing up in the case of Jane Trainer Tho
colored child, was concluded yesterday. The Jndoe
will give his decision on Monday morning and IT ia
aDxiously looked for by both aboitionsts and Union
men. Though the issue has nothing to do with the
question Of savery-the party in dispute being a
free colored grit has created an unusual degree Of
excitement.
Mr.. George H. +. Lynch, one Of the deputy clerks
OF The Superior Court, was yesterday promoted to
the cIerkshp vacant by the death of Mr.. Campbell,
the late clerk.

into the Atlantic cities from the West, via Buffalo
and Albany. BY our despatch, it will be seen that
no less than ten thousand barrels of -four and AZ

received in Buffalo alone, yesterday-being almost
