in the Supreme Court, when afhdavits were read on
both sides. They set forth the proceedings OF the
Common Council in relation to the sale Of the pro-
perty; the affidavit of Mr. Beecker the ancsioneer
shows that the Brick Church sold by him on the
Iah Of May for $40 900 that il had been previously
duly advertised, and that he believed the sum Cor
which it vas sold was the highest that could be
obtained for it. The argument was then set down
for hearing at Judge Roosevelt's house on Friday
evening a. ealf-pa-t five o'clock.

The dismissal Of an Envoy Extraos diua1y
and Minister Pienipotentiary aao three Lead
irg Ccusuls of her Majesty the Queen Of Eng
land, is al event Of no common import. TaaF
5isnissal, be il remembered, was made ca t1e
alleged fact that they had violated the neu-
trality laws of the Uniou, and had exercised
acts Of sovereignty within cur jurisdiction. The
ofence, if ccnritted, IVES grave one; bas the
grounds upon which the proceeding was based
having been submitted in the form Of CON-
plant to Lord Palmerstop's government, that
government totally discreditad the evidence,
and returned only disavowai OF any inten-
ton thus 10 infringe the legal and sovereign
lights Of the republic.
1t will lot ne forgotten that the Clayton
treaty il subject Of radical dispate between
the two Cabinets. We have also recognized
the Walker- Rivas government Of Nicaragua,
farnibbed in fact men and means TO sustain
ccncede are responsible in G. moral point of
view for the ascen ,ency Of the Aneri- Al
erms in Nicaragua Late news Indicates, too
taat the Nicaraguars under Walker have been
triumphant over their enemies; aud this fast
sufficiently foreshadows the permanent rule OF
American influence in all the States OF Central
America. We must conoede, too, in order to
complete the actual history of the case, th..
our people, as such, not only heartily sympa

but have aided him by every means in their
power. IL proof OF this We need only refer to
the constant movement of population in that
direction, and to the uniform failure OF the
legal tribunals to convict persons charged py
The federal authorities with violating the neu-
trality laws by aiding the Nicaraguans-
These are amongst the points Of grave COM
plication into which we have fallen with the
London Cabinet. That on the facts we occu-
py the vantage ground-that we are mainly
right--no candid nan on either side Of the
water will question.
But we have to deal with Lord Palmerston,
the most perfect personiGcation Of political
parasite in his relations to Louis Napoleon;
an aristocrat by birth, by associations, by
instinct and by ambition. His effort for two
years has been to league her Majesty govern
ment with, and to control the despotic Powers
of the Continent, especially that Of Napoleon.
HIS position is nom,naliy that of adherence to
the free system OF England, and ON adjunct
and controller Of the constitutional for tunes of
Italy and other Continental States. In this re-
spect his attitude is that of alliance With Ma.
poleon and Of hostility to that potensste in his
designs upon Italy. He is equally determined,
for widely different reasons, to check the far
Their progress Of democracy and civilization on
this side Of the water. In this last movement
he has the concurrence Of Napoleon.
