Ten DAYS GRAcE.--Within ten days Arch
bishop Hughes has pledged himself to prove
Senator Brooks the next thing to Senator
that has been guilty Of lying. This, we
presume, will be done by transcript from the
records of the Archbishop's church property in
this city. Senator Brooks has put it down as
equal to five millions Of dollars in value, and
the Archbishop will probably show that he is
thus guilty of falsehood of the magnificent
proportion of at least three millions of dollars.
The Archbishop threw the "vile insect" the
other day out of the window, in emulation of
Uncle Toby; but we now suppose that, with the
expiration of his ten days grace, the victim
will be impaled alive. Why not deliver him
over TO Alderman Briggs?

The War In EuIope-Bombardment Of Sc
nstouOl.

The War In Observation-Disclosures of Sc
bastopol.
At last the attack on Sebastopol has begun.
On the morning of the 9Th of April, the fire
opened from the French and English batteries,
and lasted until the latest advces left, which
was on the 18th. Accounts differ as to its eff
feet The British officers state that their fire had
silenced several Russian batteries, and proved
itself superior at all points to that of the city
allowing however that the Russians display ed
great energy and courage in repairing their
losses The Russian General on the other hand
declares that Sebastopol was as strong as ever
at the close of the sixth day of the lombard
ment; giving credit to the allies, however for
having rained fen d'enfer upon it. In re-
spect of loss, it appears to have been greater
on the side of the Russians than on that of the
allies.
The attack by bombardment had been ex-
pected for some days in the camp. 1t was rem
dered neces airy by the approach of summer,
which has improved the roads, enabled the Rus
slams to pour regiment after regiment into the
place, and menaced the allied camp with mala
ria. That it must end in repulse of the allies
seems highly probable. Though we have no
detailed statement of the Russian force in the
place. we know that men and stores have been
arriving for many months, and the general i'm
preston Is that the defenders outnumber the
sssailants. All that money, science, time
and energy can do towards rendering it
impregnable has been DONE On the
other hand, notwithstanding the reinforce
ments lately received from England and
France, the allied army had not reached
its contemplated strength by the 9th April.
Fifteen thousand bayonets was liberal cal
culation for the British army; and the French
hospitals were crowded. The prospect is that
the bombardment will eventuate in the de-
struction of portion of the Russian works;
which will Immediately be erected anew: and
that II not be followed by an assault.
But - military operations at Sebastopol
bear very small proportion, in point of i'm
portance, to the movements which have taken
place elsewhere. Even il the allies sbould
take that place, il is doubtful, very doubtful.

The KANSAS QUESTION AND THE ADMINIsTRA-
TIoN-We publish to-day letter from Missou-
ri, which gives totally different view of the
recent troubles in Kansas from that of Govern
or Reeder, and his side of the question. We
have now heard both sides, and the conduct
of the Missourians, in striking balance be.
tween the accounts Of both parties, appears to
be about six for one to half a dozen for the
other Read our letter from Missouri. It gives
us some very interesting and curious facts con-
corning the trials of squatter sovereignty and
squatter life in Kansas
It has been said that an attempt is being
made at Washing ton to secure the appointment
Of the dismissed Judge Loring, of Massachu
sets, as Governor Of Kansas, in the place of
the present incumbent; but according to our
latest information, Gov. Reeder has resolved to
60 out there again, at all hazards, to look after
his land speculations. What will Mr.. Pierce
do? 1t is stated that his Cabinet are five for
Reeder, viz Marcy, Guthrie, Cushing NJ 'Clel
land and Campbell and two for the expulsion
OF Reeder-Jeff. Davis and Dobbin-both strin-
gent Southern men. The issue with the Presi-
dent is between Marcy and Davis and upon
this question, in this shape our amiable and
accommodating Executive cannot very well
carry water upon both shoulders. He must
either supersede Reeder or retain him; and if
he is retained he must be supported.
Thus at last we shall be able to understand
where our shutting chief magistrate stands on
the Kansas-Nebraska question. When the re-
peal of the Missouri compromise was first
mooted he was opposed to it and his organ,
the Washington Union, declared that it must
never be touched. But the Southern Senators
readily persuaded him that the repeal would
make him, while, if he refused it, he would be
lost, bag and baggage, in the South. So Mr..
Pierce went for the repeal but the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Reeder to Kansas proves that the
bill was trick upon the South. The Reeder
plot for abolitionizing Kansas meets, however,
with sudden and most ominous rebuff; and
our Missouri correspondent assures us that the
Southern people of that State and Arkansas
and Kentucky, are organizing, on a formidable
scale, men and means to crush out the anti
slavery societies in Kansas.
The question then recurs, what will Mr..
Pierce do? He will, most probably, as usual,
shuttle off and evade all responsibility, until the
hostile parties moving upon Kansas are involved
in border and sectional war. With this most
treacherous and imbecile administration at the
helm, the existing state of things and the issue
in Kansas are full Of danger. Can't Tammany
Hall do something for the relief Of Mr.. Pierce
Where is John Cochrane now?
