and evening-addresses were delivered by several
Of the leading men in the movement These were
all, however, of about like character and proclaim
ed the great benefits which it was alleged would
accrue from supplanting the present tr0slation Of
the Scriptures by truer and purer version. They
hold their sessions again today.
The Board of Aldermen last evening passed re
solutions as to the alleged issue of 100000 Of re-
venue bonds and on the deficiency of assessments,

the condition that the city should purchase his
boats, carts, horses, &c. This condition was re-

chase the effects of Mr. Reynolds at fair valuation.
The committee meet again on Monday next.
The Chamber of Commerce held its regular
monthly meeting yesterday. The usury laws were

the members.
The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 500
bales, without further decline beyond the per cent

The Efforts I'm Europe to Secure the Tri-
umph or Abolitionism In the United States.
Very considerable sums of money arrived in
this country by the Pacific, and other recent
steamers, to be used at the coming election in
this State and in other northern ATTITUDES. The
triumph of the Allies at Sebastopol has stimu-
lated the governing classes Of Europe to as
sault the great works Of the federal constitu-
tion-to attempt, by the aid of an alliance
with the abolitionists of this country, to over
turn the government of the United States. We
are in the midst of a fearful struggle, in which
is enlisted against us band of political mad
men as fierce and relentless as were the Jews
at Calvary. They have been gathering strength
at home for twenty years, and now, having for
tilted themselves by a strong political organi-
cation, they have given the signal to their Eu-
ropean allies for an attack upon the constitl-
ton of the United States In obedience 10
this call, money is flowing in from England
and France. Every sign betokens resolute
and determined effort to shatter in pieces what
the abolitionists term : the infamous condi-
tions and covenants Of the federal constitu-
tion.'
Ever since the arrival Of Mrs. Stowe in Eu-
rope, negotiations have been in progress to
procure money from that quarter to secure the
triumph Of the abolitionists in the United
States. 1t win not be forgotten that Mr.. Van
Buren, has been a long time absent from his
country We are not prepared 10 say that he
has had finger in the pie, out our readers will
not fail to observe that during his stay on the
other side Of the water an entire change has
been made in parties on this. He left his coun-
try with whig, democratic and an abolition
party he returned to it with democratic and
an anti-slavery party. One Of his most in
innate friends-Preston Kings at the head
| of the latter, exhorting the old democracy t.
abandon the fields of their past triumphs and
| to range themselves under the pirate banners
of abolitionism.
| These are remarkable condolences. They
are followed by the arrival of large sums Of
money, the sinews of political as well as ply
steal wars.
