TIE nrssIrG STEAMER.

The Arabia has arrived. bringing no tding9 OF
the steamer Pacific. The Arabia left Liverpool
th,rty-.even day. after ihe missing .tesmer. Upon
tbe srrp,sition that tie Pacific was disabled when
he WIS half WAY over ehe had then had neatly
thirty doys 70 get back to port Yet Of course
neither this nor any Other supPOstion can be made
with certainty 1t is siil less likely that she has
b. en- try NJ to make port in the United States.
II is now fifty days since she put to sea and If she
had net with an accident, and still kept on her
course. She could hardly have failed to reach our
ecast before this. Possibly, however, she has
sailed in n crippled condition for the Azores or
Western I,lsnds II she has attempted this, five
and.tventy days wOnld be a fair allowance Of time
for her to reach Faysl. SupPosing her to have
arrived ,aely there in that time We could scarcely
hear from her in less than thirty days more, aud
uieLt not under forty or fifty. The communication
with the Western Islands is wholly by sailing yes
sells. and the intercourse unfrequent. We ought
not. therefore. TO consider the safety Of the Pacific
wholly out Of the question before the first week in
April.
But notwithstanding the cherished hope of her
safety, based upon highly probable mode Of pro-
cecdipp in case Of the breaking Of shaft or other
seri,us damage to her machinery, her continued
absence fills the mind with apprehension. She had
been OCT, at the sailing Of the Arabia, five days
longer than was the Atlantic at the time of her
memorable disaster; the latter having reached Cork
on the thirty. second day after leaving port. 1t
seems hard 10 admit the loss OF this noble ship, but
While we consider the chances of her safety,
we must not forget the circumstances under which
she was making her voyage. She had new master
aid new engineer Both were undoubtedly COM
petent, but both, of course, ambitious. The new
ship Persia was behind her but three days distant,
and with the highest reputation for speed and great
expectations of her performance on her hrst trip.
Ii is natural to suppose that both master aud en-
Rneer would strain every nerve to make the Pacific
do her best, and to lose as little time as possible
from any precautionary policy On the voyage. The
ocean Was filled with vast fields oil
floating and berg ice. The concurrent
testimony of numerous arrivals goes TO establish
that scarcely ever was the usual path between this
coast and England ever before so obstructed. Is
it not to be feared that, ignorant perhaps OF the
extent, or it may be of the existence of this nn-
usual mpediment at this season of the year. the
eager commander of this ill-fated ship, his eyes
stIaining behind him as well as before, may in the
darkness Of night, have driven his craft straight
upon the desolate and turbulent masses of Arctic
ice and ere be was aware found himself and all on
board suddenly being engulphed in the angry and
sullen and darkeLed sea 7 If this sad possibility

Some curious facts will be found in our cattle
market report on the last page For instance; that
for two years past there has been no day or week
in which the supply Of cattle, bullOcks sheep and
swine, has been so inadequate to the demand as
yesterday and last week. Only 744 beef-cattle
were offered yesterday, and only 1885 were re-
ceiyed in the city during the week, against an sv-
eIage of $500 weekly receipts of last year.
The effect of this short supply was that all first
class bullOcks sold for prices equal to 12l to IA
cents pound for the meat. One whole drove
averaged SAG per head. Only $500 sheep are
reported for the week, and these sold at from s.
TO 800 head.
There is probably shorter supply of fresh meat
n the city this day than at any day for many years
No alarm, however, need be felt, or prices in-
creased; the scarcity is but temporary, and gen.
eral fast OF abstinence of all the people one day
from meat would restore the equilibrium between
demand and supply.

Edtousi Correspondence Of The N Y. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Wednesday March IL, 1856.
Senator Douglas to-day reported hard agsnS
the Free-S,ate men OF Kansas, Ho sust,ins the
Border Ruffians throughout In the debate which
ensued he said to Mr. Sumner, 1--WE mean to sub
due you, Sir
Mr.. Sumner pronounced Mr. Douglass argument
70 be loaded dice, and warmly vindicated tn
course of the EmigraDt Aid Societies.
Mr.. Douglas hOtly responded, threatening the
employment of all the power OF the Government u
maintain popular sovereignty.
Mr.. Seward replied that they would have pos
session Of the Government but three hundred and
fifty days longer, and Congress would have to be
consulted during this time. He said Kansas would
soon be here as a Free State, and he should de
mand ber admission.
Judge Collamers minority report is esteem
admirable by our friends. He justihes the Fres-
State men throughout; says they have volstsd no
law, and proposes TO admit tho State OF Kansas
under her present Constitution. The printing OF
sixty-two thousand copies OF both reports VIII
doubtless be ordered.
In the House Mr. Traiton defended the Emigrant
Aid Societies and the Free. State cause, and was
followed by Henry Winter Davis in a brilliant
effort on the wrong side, taking grounds essentially
different from all his predecessors. lie was gen-
orally complimented at the close.
Mr.. Wakeman of our city, then made his first
peech on the side Of Free Kansas, which he
sustained thoroughly replying cogenty to Mr.
Davis.
Mr. Purviance has the floor for tomorrow. l
think the question will not be taken till Friday.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, March IL, 1856.
From the disposition manifested to discuss the
Kansas question, | think the test vote on tho Re-
port of the Committee may be deferred till Mon
day. The present indications are that the vote
will be against sending for persons and papers,
which is virtual surrender of the issue, according
TO the doctrine of the minority
Mr.. Davis of Maryland spoke forcbly aud elo-
quently to-day, denying all jurisdiction in the
House of Representatives, and maintaining that the
recognition of the Territorial laws by Gov Reeder
bnd President Pierce precluded any investigation
now as 10 whether those laws were imposed BY
violence or fraud.
Mr.. Wakeman of New-York answered with
much effect and legal discrimination.
Most of the remaining appropriation bills will be
reported on Monday

Editorial Cene.pondenee Of In. y. Y. Tribune.


WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March IL, 1856.
After half an hour devoted to morning business,
Mr.. l. WAsHBURN insisted on the regular order
the Kansas question. An attempt was made TO let
Mr. MILLs0N Of Va. get in motion to recons der
some resolves of the Virginia Legislature relating
TO the late Naval Retiring Board, but the Speaker
decided that though motion 10 reconsider was
privileged, the Kansas question was one Of still
higher privilege, as ii related to the rights and
privileges Of Members of this House. and so must
have precedence. scsMr MiIlsOn was ruled out,
ard
Mr.. STEPHENS Of Ca, rose to the Kansas que'-
ton. Able, acute, and logical as he certainly is,
1 expected a strong speech, and we had it. L
think no one could have done better on that side,
but what side Mr.. Stephens was obliged to
argue that no possible outrage and fraud, however
gigantic. however universal, could inyslidate the
election Of the alleged Kansas Legislature: the
fraudulently returned majority, allowing that it be
fraudulent, might turn out the fairly elected mi
nority, fill their seats with their OVID cronies, and

The Arabia arrived at Hslifax yesterday with
dates from Liverpool to the Isl inst. She brings
no news of the Pacific. There are some confused
rumors of ships furniture seen at sen, but they
amount to nothing Three meetings Of the Peace
Conference had been held in Paris, but nothing of
the proceedings had been suffered to transpire.
Rumors, favorable and otherwise, were circula-
ted in abundance and at the close of the week con-
siderable alarm was created by report that Rus
sia had started objections which would cause the
Conference to break up. 1t was however, regarded
as mere stock jobbing ruse, and general impress
sion prevailed that matters were progressing favor
ably. The opinion increases that Immediately after
peace is proclaimed, general European Congress
will n eet to resdjust the balance of power. Active
preparations for continuance Of the war pre-
vailed on all sides. An armistice until the end of
March had been officially announced and was
made known to the Crimean armies 1t is not to
affect the exiting blockade Of Russian ports.

man contingent, and bis resignation was accepted.

In dealing with historical facts caution is often
fu But The Evening Post of yesterday, in article
upon the European peace programme, gravey asserts
that the object of the treaty of Wesphalie was to
circumscrbe the universal rule of Charles V. Now
that Ire atty concluded in 1913 md Charles died in
1873. Nor was the celebrated treaty of Vienna in
1915 intended to check the NapoeOnc rage Of con-
quest When the Congress of Vienna began, Napo'
leon was on the Island of Elba and the object of the
Congress was to divide the spoils and evolve political
order from the disorganization created by his con-
quests It is true that after he escaped from Elba
especial conventions and treaties made 10 the
Spring Of 1915 between the various Powers to put him
down; but these treaties lost their force with their
object after the battle of Waterloo and the outawry

of Europe is wholly different from that assigned by
The EreniRg Post. With regard to the treaty of

We yesterday gave place to letter from one OF
the trustees Of the Mutual Life-lnsurance Com
pany declaring that the desire of the Board is not
TO prevent an investigation into the conduct OF its
affairs, but to have it the most complete and
searching possible. We are glad to be assured
that such is the cssc; and we trust the Legislature
will take measures TO grant this desire as speedily
as possible. Ii is a matter OF some consequence
that no time should be lost in removing any doubts
that may have been cast upon the management OF
so important an institution. We learn that bill
now before the Senate, introduced by Mr.. Noxon,
proyides that an annual examination shall be had
into the business Of this Company, and that it shall
take place for the first time within thirty days. So
far that will satisfy every reasonable demand.
