have voted to close the present session on
Monday the 7th day Of June, the Senate
having on Thursday concurred in a joint
resolution to that clec. previously adopted
by the House of Representatives This is
an earlier day than has of late years been
usual and some will doubtless attribute it to
the fact that members Of Congress receive
a fixed salary instead of eight dollars per

per session. exclusive Of niiieagc; as wcif for

DECREASE or IMMrGRArIoN.-The last report
Of the Commissioners Of Emigration shows
great decrease in the number of emigrants arriv-
ing at this port from the LIST Of January to the Esd
inst The arrivals for that period are, in fact less
than half those of the same time last year The
number up to June 20, 1857, was S1,6O9; while
that OF the present year is only 30,450. This
decrease is, unquestionaby, attributable to the
late financial revulsion. II is one of its most
natural consequences The alarm which our
crisis created In Europe gave this country a
new aspect to many European eyes. The de-
mand for work or bread, the tumultuous scenes
of Tompkins square and the Park-fomented
and prolonged for certain political purposes
deferred the emigrating classes from trusting
themselves to the incerttude of fortune which
seemed to await them here. II will probably
be some years before the tide Of emigration
falls again into its old channel.

AFFAIRS IN CHNA-In another column the
reader will find some valuable and interesting
letters from China. They shed much light on
the proceedings of the belligerents in that part
Of the world, and on the prospects which are
opened by the capture Of Canton, and the
operations of the diplomatists in the North.
II seems that the British, French and Rus
sian diplomatists are agreed upon an ultimatum
which is being presented to the Chinese govern
ment, the gist Of which is unmolested inter.
course for foreigners to every part Of China, on
the rivers and the coast and the reception Of
foreign ambassadors at Pekin. The representa-
tive of the United States Is understood to concur
with the rest Of the diplomatic corps In pressing
these demands on the government Of China (.
but his exertions are merely pacific, while the
English and their allies intend to fight till they
carry their point. II il not little significant
that both the maritime Powers of Europe have
reiterated the formal declaration which they
made at the commencement Of the Russian
wM-that they seek no territorial acquisitions
With India blazing on the borders, one can
well understand England's conviction that che
has got about territory enough.
1t is said by our correspondents that the ma
tivcs of China are preparing for a desperate re-
sistance; and IL Is insinuated that they are in
cited TO defend themselves bravely, and taught
the European discipline by Russian emissaries
IL Is not very easy TO understand on what prn-
ciples Russia could hope to be gamer by pro-
longing the exclusion Of China from the civil
lied world; pique and illfeeling apart, the in
tercst of Russia is that Of all other nations, and
her views should be those of England, the Uni
ted States and France. But OF the fact that
the Chinese are going, at least in some instances,
70 fight well, there seems TO be no doubt. The
men of the North are described as not only
muscular and brave, but as adopts at the use Of
military weapons; in numbers they are known
TO far surpass any force which Great Britain and
France could ever send against them. II these
people cen be got to stand FIRE, and not run
away when the British charge, the end Of The
Chinese war will not be reached In hurry.

THE SONORA LAND GRANT-A CONFIDENCE
GAME ON GRAND ScALE.-Read the letter Of
our Washington correspondent upon this subject
1t discloses a confidence game which approx
mates the magnificent proportions of the Yazoo
speculation, or the South Sea bubble but un.
fortunately, with the first breath of wind upon
It this Sonora bubble has exploded and van
ished into thin air. We leave the parties who
have been sold, If any, to settle their account
with the contractor" and are gratiied In
having been the instrument of the exposure of
this prodigious experiment for raising the wind.
AS for Che contractor himself, the sooner he
embarks for Sonora, perhaps the better. Other
wise, the Mormons may occupy bis lands With
out allowing him the first red cent for the privi-
lege But Of oil things, why did the enterprlsing
contractor permit lis project 20 be ventilated
through the columns Of the NEW YORK HERALD,
lie might have known that il would be the end
Of the speculation.

The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH ExrEDrrroS.-
We see that our contemporaries are indulging
in good deal of positive speculation as to the
result of the present effort to lay the Atlantic
telegraph cable. They predicate the failure Of
the enterprise on grounds some of which
are assumed and some Of which have
reference to preliminary experiments made with
imperfect wires or with incomplete machinery.
All persons acquainted with the difficulties at
tending the progressive stages of scientific
undertakings will acknowledge the rashness of
pronouncing q positive decision in advance Of
facts. The history Of successes Of this character
goes to establish a sort Of divine inspiration,
by which the human mind is unconsciously led
on TO the realization Of results for which il was
inadequately prepared. The doubts and diff
culties suggested by inexperienced theorists
are, therefore, to be received with the same
caution with which the speculations of the over
sanguine should always be entertained. Human
skill having accomplished all that it could effect
in the present instance, we must trust something
TO the aid of that Higher Power which we must
believe to be guiding us in this great work Of
civilization and progress. We are after all,
but blind instruments in His hands, and IL
savors of presumption to decide over conf
IDENTIFY az to results In which human agency
plays but subordinate pant.
We have so frequently enlarged upon the
advantages likely to result from the success of
this great enterprise, and they are now so
keenly appreciated by all classes of intelli-
gence, that II is unnecessary for us again to
dwell upon them. 1t would be hard to have
hopes 80 sanguinely INDUCED, and so patiently
worked for, frustrated by one Of the many tri-
fling chances TO which enterprises Of this sort
are subject, and which last year led to such
disastrous failure. The loss that would be en-
tailed by second disappointment would be so
heavy that IL would be difficult 10 induce the
stockholders Of the present company to make
another attempt. The sacrifice of two and
half millions by the latter and of another half
million by the English and American govern
ments might well be looked upon as dis
enlargement too great to warrant fresh expe-
rment. Let us hope that Providence and the
skill of the engineers will disappoint the pre-
dictions Of the croakers, and that the Atlantic
telegraph may add another to the many evi.
dences we have aready had Of the short sight
ednes of human provision in matters Of scien-
tifc progress

The TAxPAYER's PARTY-THE MOVEMENT
PRooEssrSG.--A correspondent in yesterdays
HERALD asks us five can suggest some practical
mode by which taxpayers party could be set
on foot. We answer that we have suggested
such mode, and we are happy to say that II Is
being vigorously adopted at the present time.
A call for an Independent taxpayers party is
now rapidly receiving numerous signatures
In the different wards Of the city, with q
view to organize mass meeting and set
the ball rolling. And we would here suggest
to those who have that document in charge,
that they should not conflnc themselves
to leading taxpayers In the different wards,
but should take up the tax book, and call upon
every one in It, until they obtain the signatures
Of every one Of the thirty thousand taxpayers in
the county.
We have little doubt that before many months
we shall see an Independent organization, which,
If IL uses its power judciously, and keeps it's
skirts clear Of demagogues and politicians, will
triumph over all factions and cliques, and purify
the atmosphere of the Corporation Offices. The
movement is progressing in every quarter. We
publish today report Of large meeting Of
