The News.
The European mails brought by the ARABIA
reached this city last evening. In our Paris cor
sespondence, published elsewhere, viii be found a
number of interesting particulars relative 10 the
locality in which the sttings of the Peace Con
ference held, the order Of its proceedings, and
the various other arrangements connected with the
eventful deliberations of its members. In the &C
count given by correspondent Of the diplomatic
soirees and receptions consequent upon The arrival
Of the Penipotentiaries, have descriptions Of the
personal appearance, manners and bearing Of these
important personages. The excitement created in
Paris by the secresy with which their proceedings
are surrounded is described as intense and nothing
can exceed the sensitiveness of the Bourse to the
reports and rumors which are flying around.
Our letters from Madrid, which want of space
eompels us to hold over until tomorrow, re-
present the moderadoes as again actively in
tTiguing for the overthrow of the present
government. One Of our correspondents states
that he has seen letters in which it is
affirmed that relations have been reestablisbed be-
tween that faction and General Narvaez, and that
grand coup detat is meditated for the purpose of
restoring the latter to power. 1t is added that
these projects are supported by Louis Napoleon,
and that in the arrangements entered into by the
allies for general settlement at the Paris Con-
gress, there is a condition that termination shall
be put to the present state of things in Spain, in
favor Of the moderadoes, of course.
We publish in another column full report Of the
banquet gwen at the London Mansion House in
honor Of Mr.. Buchanan. The speech of the Lord
Mayor, representing as he does the commercial,
and indeed, the popular feeling of England will be
read with great satisfaction in this country. The
cordial manner in which the friendly sentiments to
which he gave expression, in regard to the United
States, were r. ceived by the assembled guests is
the best evidence that can be adduced of the little
sympathy that exists with the views of the Palmer
ston administration on the Central American and
enlistment questions.

Advices from Vera Cruz to the 25th ult. report
the death of Haro Tamirez, at Puebla, which
event. if true, will put end to the revolutionary
movement headed by him. At Vera Cruz, ten of
the persons engaged in the revolt of the garrison Of
the Castle had been condemned to death. In the
north, vdaurri was quite active organizing troops,
and was about advancing upon San Luis. Along
the Rio Grande everything was tranquil.
We have Havana dates to the 9th inst, but they
contain nothing of importance Of political charac
ter. The health of the city was good. Copious
rains had had beneficial effect on the growing
sugar cane. Freights had somewhat improved.
The United States Senate yesterday shook off its
customary dulness, and INDUCED in debate that
partook somewhat of the exciting. Judge Douglas
slashed away at his coleague-Judge Trumbul-
and Mr.. Sumner in very spirited manner. The
affair is graphically reported in our Geographic
columns. In the House the niger worshippers ex
perIenced another check, the motion to close the
discussion on the Kansas contested election case
having been defeated by a vote Of seventy-eght to
nnety-six. Both houses adjourned till Monday.

the Fire Department and others, OF New York,
against the election of Fire Marshal, by the
beers of the Department, was offered. The bill
abolishing the Board of Railroad Commission was
passed by vote of "a to 10. 1t is quite probable
that this bill will not pass the Senate; still there
duty of the railroad interest to spare no pains to
secure its passage report and bill amending the
charter Of the Manhattan Gas Company was pre-
sented The bill takes away all special privileges,
and renders the company subject to the liability of
the general law. The minority report of the special
committee on the repeal of the Prohibitory Liquor
law was made. It simply repeats the stale argu-
ments in favor of prohibition subsequently an
effort was made to bring forward the bill repeating
number of other subjects Of interest were intro
duced for the particulars of which see our telegra
phc reports.

portant bills resolution ordering special cleo
