TON CoRwN VS.. THuRLow wEED.-Hon. Tom
Corwin, the great gun of the republicans Of
Ohio, has lately made speech, in which he
thinks that fairly adopted slave State constitu-
ton should be no bar to the admission Of new
State; while Thurlow Weed, the whipper.in Of
the republican party ofNew York, declares that
they can only stand upon their old platform of
mo more slave States, no more slave territory
This disagreement is the work of the Lecompton
question in Congress, and of the divisions IL has
engendered in the general opposition camp.
The St. Louis election was the first practical
beginning; but the end will not be reached till
1860, and then, perhaps, we shall find the Seward
faction reduced TO the vote of Hale In 1862.
Kansas being substantially played out, the In
evitable reaction must run its course. Tom
Corwin understands it.

A TRRRTITE TREATY FOR IREIASD.-Now
that Ireland has become, by the establishment
Of the Atlantic telegraph and the Galway
steamship line, the highway Of nations between
the two hemispheres, it becomes Of the utmost
Importance that her government should be
fairly and impartially administered, and that
no enc nation should have exclusive jurisdiction
over the island. Great Britain has now both
termini Of the great telegraph on her domi-
Mons. II is not meet that she should have this
power. She ought to be well satisfied with
having the exclusive control of one of them,
and should be content to place the other under
the joint protection of the other great Powers
We therefore propose that Great Britain,
France and the United States shall enter into
sort Of tripartite treaty in respect to Ireland
similar to that proposed in respect to Cuba q
few years ago. Ireland must be either neutral
or independent.

THE RuxP OF THE Know NOTHING PARTY
Here, there and everywhere, throughout the
State, il appears the remnants of the late great
American party are busily at work trimming
their lamps and lanterns, and elccting their
delegates for the State Council which is to
come off at Albany on the Gath instant. What
they are driving at and what they will do
nobody knows; but from the furious war which
has been lately waged against them by Thur
low Weed, the Chevalier Webb and the poets
of the Ebcniy Pos, we think there is q
very good prospect for q separate
Know Nothing State ticket for November. The
terms upon which the Know Nothing managers
have offered to sell out to the republican party,
TO wit--the rejection by that party of Seward,
Thurlow Weed and the niger platform, and the
substitution Of Mr. Crittenden, BOBBY Brooks
and the Crittenden amendment-having been ig-
nominiously kicked out by the Seward Albany
Junts, what else cen the insalted "Amaicans''
do thn 10 rsorgsnize their own camp, and fight
n out with Seward to the bitter end We count
upon that plan d operation. Let the Albany

The New CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL ON FIFTH
AvESUE.-The corner stone of the new Catholic
Cathedral on Fifth avenue is to be laid on
Sunday next, by Archbishop Hughes, with great
pomp. This will probably be one Of the most
imposing ceremonies ever witnessed in this
country. The Cathedral is designed to be the
most superb architectural structure on the
American continent, vieing in dimensions and
beauty with many of the old cathedrals of
Europe. It's cost is to be enormous-some
million and half Of dollars, we believe. The
Cathedral-if 1t is ever fnished-will be some
thing that New York can boast Of but we
trust will not be quite 80 long In process of
erection as the Cathedral at Cologne, which
was commenced come four hundred years ago,
and is still incomplete. We look to Archbishop
Hughes to zee IL completed as soon as possible.
He should not be content with the honor of lay
ing the foundation Of this magnificent church in
bis own lifetime, but should spare no pains TO
plant the cross upon its highest turret This
would be, indeed, securing a full measure of
posthumous fame for his name and the term OF
his episcopacy.

A New WALKER CANARD-Some enthusiastic
flibuster In the West has invented marvellous
story, that Gen. Walker and hisyfilibusters, to
the number Of eight hundred men, all mounted
and armed to the teeth had passed the town of
FL Paso, on their way to Sonora some time
about the beginning of July. This story pre-
tends to come from Mr.. Cronin, who also met
four hundred more flibusters on the Arkansas
river, and some twenty thousand Indians on
Pawnee fork. Mr.. Cronin's wonderful story of
crowds of filibusters and Indians has all the
marks about 1t that the boys story had, who
told bis father that he had seen more than fifty
cats In the entry. The boys wonder was cut
down 10 "our cat and another one" and 30 we
suspect will Mr.. Cronins story be cut down.
Gen. Walker on the 18th Of July was In Mobile,
from where he went into the interior Of Alaba-
ma on his money raising tour. He has re-
pestedly refused to have anything to do with
Mexican afralns; and az for his being Joined by
Col. Tlh,e, not only Is he not on good terms
with this individual, but the last we heard Of
Titus he was on his way TO the new gold dig
pipes at Frazer river. The telegraplic report
from ST. Louie is, ta7,et0re, pure huabug.

The PROPERTY or THE HupsoS's Bar Cow.
PANY.-Our Washington correspondent lays
before our readers this morning O very in
teresting document relating to the property
Of the Hudson's Bay Company in the vi
cinity Of Frazer river. The proposition
now being made to the United States govern
ment by the company to sell their lands and
poeessory rights there Is not made for the first
time. In December, 1852, Sir George Simpson.
on behalf of the Hudson's Bay and Puget's
Sound companies, offered to sell to this govern
ment, for million of dollars, their seventeen
establishments, with all their rights and posses.
sions. According to the valuation Of the com.
pany, these were worth two million three hun
dred and thirty-three thousand dollars; but
they were 30 convinced that the efforts of the
companies to secure their treaty rights and of
the United States officials and settlers to restrict
them therein, would prove source Of continual
strife, that they were willing 10 sacrifice them
for million dollars The memorandum of Sir
George Simpson to this effect, and furnishing
detailed statement Of the value Of all the diffe-
rent divisions Of the property we publish to.

WASHINGTON, August 10, 1858.
The Secretary of the Treasury has awarded two
millions of the loan to Robbins q Son, although
that house stated by telegraph that they wished to
reduce their proposals to one million. The Score
tary acted on the principle that nothing but sealed
proposals, to be first opened by him, could be con-
sidered. One of the bidders of premium of five
per centum telegraphed offering fiveand ahalf for
twenty thousand, but the Secretary would not con-
slider the telegraphic despatch, and made the award
at five per centum. This loan, at one hundred and
eight pays the same interest as the government six
per centum loan at one hundred and fourteen and4.
half. In addition to what was stated yesterday all
bids above l2100 are successful, and all at this
rate obtain portion of the amount bid for. The
aggregate bids were over thirty eight millions The
stock is quoted here to-day at log.
The Secretary of the Navy left here this morning
for Connecticut. He will be absent about three
weeks, and will, before his return, inspect the navy
yards. Chief Clerk Welsh is acting as Secretary.
From present indications 1t is supposed at the
Navy Department that the Paraguay expedition Will
start by the first of October.
