THE News.

The arrival Of the royal mail steamship Africa at
this port yesterday Afternoon put us IN possession OF
three days later news from England and the CONT
nent of Europe. The intelligence is not very inter-
esting. The English House of Commons had re-
solved into Committee of Ways and Means, to con-
slider the new financial project of MIR. Gladstone
which was rising very quickly in popular estimation
outside of doors. Quite an exciting scene occurred
upon the occasion of Mr.. Charles Gayan Duffy,
editor of the Nation newspaper in his place as mem
Der for New Ross, taxing the government with a
wholesale bribery Of his fellow representatives from
Ireland. MIR. Duffy was compelled to retract his
assertion. Judging from recent scenes, both III the
Upper and Lower House, in which peers, bishops, and
cor1noners took part, we are disposed to consider
our Senatorial members as pretty respectable body
OF gentlemen. Tue kossuth rocket affair agian
the subject of ministerial explanation The trade
returns Of England for the month OF April were
highly satisfactory. The Peace Conference men
were working for everlasting treaty Of quiet be-
tween England and America. Mrs. ST owe was about
TO enter Stafford House, and Boston negro
was exhibiting Southern "torturing" in Liver
pool. Both speculations were likely to pay.
France remains so dUll as not to resemble
the France of twelve months since. The
Empress was convalescent. Two hundred poll
teal conyicts had been shipped to Cayenne. The
minis terial crisis had ended in Spain. The Holy
Shrnes' question was settled. There is nothing of
importance from Italy or Switzerland. The Prus
sian parliamentary debates were very calm, and did
not possess any striking political feature Favorable
accounts had been received in England from Aus
traia. The Court Of Madrid was watching the
policy Of Santa Anna with much anxiety We pre-
sent our readers with the latest mercantile, none
tary, marine, and general news.
BY the arrival Of the steamship Cherokee we have
received two days later news from Havana. Senior
Cruces it viii be seen, issued an edict on the 9th
inst citing two Cuban ladies, at present residing in
this city to appear within nine days and defend the
charge of treason against them otherwise sentence
would be pronounced against them by the tribunal
of war Another shipload Of Chinese has arrived
in Havana. The Spanish view Of Mexican affairs,
which we have translated from the Dtario de Ia
Marina, will be found quite interesting, semi-odi-
cally indicating as it undoubtedly does the feeling
of the home government with regard to the recall Of
Santa Anna
The information furnished in our special cor
respondent in Washington city, this morning ID
Hf Jared and highly interesting character Tile
peculiar position of affairs in Mexico and our relations
with that government are believed to have occupied
the serious attention Of the administration within the
last few days. 1t understood that while the Presi
dent cannot sanction the extraordinary movement
of Gov Lane with regard to the Mes lila Valley boun
dairy, owing to the fact that such proceeding was
not legitimately within the Governors sphere Oh
duty: vet the boundary itself, az defined by Mr.
Lane in his proclamation will probably be claimed by
this government the true line But this rs not to be
the cause Of an appeal toerms-the dispute II DIS
pute should arise, will he left to negotiation MeX
90 is weak and sorey distressed and the President
is determined to deal lenently with her. Circum-
stances may yet possibly render it necessary to can
Gel the principal part OF the work already performed
by the boundary commissioners and cause the re
survey Of the national line. No fear need be enter
tanned as to the encroachment OF any European
power uponsthe Sandwich Islands. Such demon
stration will not be tolerated in silence by this go
vernment.
Rumors are afoat in Washington that John Van
Buren, will he appointed Minister TO France, with a
son of Mr.. Wise az Secretary of Legation. Stranger
things have happened
District Attorney Fendall has already occupied
three days in summing up in the Gardner case
1t is supposed that he will finish to-day.
Gen. Uraga is reported TO have left New Orleans
last Monday ca route for this city, via the Ohio
river. Gen. g., it VIII be recoected was chiefly iB-
strumtnta in recalling Santa Anna to power ia
Mexico who, in return for the favor, has appointed
him as Minister TO Prussia.
BY an arrival at Independence, Mo-, we have ad-
vices from Santa Fe, New Mexico to the lst inst
The most gratifying feature Of this intelligence is the
encouragement that the Mexican boundary excite
ment had greatly subsided, owing probably to the
fact that the warlike correspondence between Gov.
Lane and Gov Trias, Of Chihuahua, had been with
held from the people. Gov. Lane is now spoken of
as candidate for Congress. The Indians werequiet
and the general aspect Of affairs peaceable. Much
