The New 9.


By the arrival of the steamship Asia at this port
we have three days later intelligence from Europe
Her news is not of much interest The Roman gov
eminent is it appears, in terrible fright regard
ing the Sandman programme of Italian reform. 1t
is said that the sudden departure for Paris of Mon
signor Berardi, the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, is connected with this apprehen-
sion treaty has been laid before the British
Parliament, in which England, France AMI Austria
Jointly guarantee the independence of Turkey, and
make any infraction Of its stpulations casus bell.
A few English and French troops will be left in
Constantinope after the evacuation Of the Crimea,
to assist in REFRESHING any rising that may be at
tempted against the Christians. Safet Efendi,
mustachar, or counsellor to the Grand vzier, has
been appointed Turkish Commissioner to the Danu
bian Principalities. 1t is thought that the present
institution of the Hospodars will be superseded and
the Old custom of nominating for life restored.
Denmark refuses to accep. the proposals made
by England to capitalize the o1nd dues and to ex-
tiDguish the capital by gradual payments. 1t is be
lieved that the Conference on this question will
shortly resume its sittings.
Baron Manteuffel, the prussian Prime Minister,
was received with great ovatons on his return to
Berlin. A magnificent banquet was given to him
by the Chamber of Peers, at which the Chairman
Count Eulenburg, somewhat astonished his auditors
by applying to the Premier the old adage--Fortuna
audGcem jurat
Immediately after the official declaration of the
treaty of peace Count Orlof proceeded in state to
the Tuileries announce the accession of the Car
to the Emperor Napoleon, and also to offer his
formal congratulations to his Majesty the joyful
accession to his family of Prince Imperial. The
most marked attention was shown by the Court of
the Tuieres on this occasion to the Russian Pleni-
potentiary, every effort being made to impart as
much splendor as possible to the ceremonial. 1t is
said that already forty thousand passports have
been issued at ST. Petersburg and Moscow, three
fourths of which will bring the bearers to Paris.
The Russians are just now in high favor with the
French.
A letter of our Madrid correspondent announces
that the nsurectonary movement in Valencia has
been suppressed-at least for the present. General
Zabaa found it necessary to disband several COM
panies of the National Guard Of the city, where
upon the whole body laid aside their arms in dis
gust. Some of the officers who made themselves
prominent in this proceeding have been thrown
into prison, and in addition to these number Of
political arrests have been made. The Spanish
journals are crying out loudly against the incapa
city of Espartero a ruler.
We learn from our Berlin correspondence that the
emigration from Germany to this country, which
had fallen off considerably for the last year So
owing to the exaggerated reports which had been
received Of the proceedings of the Know Nothings
and the prosecutions which foreigners had to suffer
at their hands, is again the increase, and unless
peace should lead to great reduction in the prices

sed through Berlin few weeks since, chiefly agricul
turis,s, bound to Wisconsin. Altogether, the
turns OF the last triennal census bear witness that
the continued emigration is beginning to tell the
population of Germany, and account for the efforts
of the various German Powers to put stop to it.
The important protocols of the Paris Conference,
or those not yet published in the HERALD, will be
given in full tomorrow. They are interesting
papers.
The Asias news yesterday checked sales Of cot
ton, which were limited to about 500 bales-not suf
fcent to establish prices--hence the market con-
tinued to be rather unsettled. Flour about &c.

The steamship George Law arrived yesterday
morning from Aspinwall, bringing the passengers,
mails and treasure which left San Francisco on the
2lst ult also later advices from the Sandwich
Islands, the South Pacific and New Granada
From Aspinwa we have news of a terrible catas-
trophe on the Panama railroad, the 9Th inst, by
which between thirty and forty persons were killed
and some seventy or eighty wounded. The particu-
lars are given in another column. We publish
elsewhere the official correspondence which has
taken place in the affair Of the Panama massa.
ere. including the letters Of Captain Bayley, Of the
United States ship ST. Mary's, and the Governor Of
the State. From these documents it will be seen
that the authorities have wholly failed in excul.
pating themselves from the charge Of having con-
tributed TO this disaster. The statements which
they make in defence are all fatty contradicted by
reliable witnesses and It now remains with our
government TO exact that satisfaction and indemnity
for the sufferers which the gross misconduct Of the
officials entities them to. Gov. CalvO, of Panama,
had addressed letter to the Project Of Aspinwal.
