AFFAIRS WITH ENGLAND.

Intense excitement prevailed in the New
York market yesterday, on account of tn,
news from Europe. Breadstutfs ere favor
: ably affected. Saltpetre advanced from Il
to 10 cents. Chemicals advanced Coffee
tea, brlmstone, and many lots of cotton
were withdrawn from the market, and SUI
CARS We're sold sparinsly. Foreign exchange
went up to 10 and all classes Of securities
declined heavily.
The New York Times, rep, speaking OF
the decision Of the legal officers of the Ri.
fish Crown, remarks tit reduces the
otfense of Capt. Wilkes very materially. l,
admits his right t. visit and search the ship,
but insists that he should have taken her in
to prize court for adjudication We are
by no means sure that our government will
not concur at once in this opinion"
The London Times of the Goth ult.. makes
the important announcement that the cabi-
net has come to the conclusion that the act
OF the captain of the San Jacinto in Selling
passengers on British vessel and carving
them forcibly away is "a clear violation of
the laws of nations, and one for which repa.
ration must be at once demanded. In all
probability the first steamer will carry out
instructions to Lord Lyons to demand repa
ration for the act Of Selling Mason and Sill.
dell while under the protection of the Bril-
fish flag. ''Should this demand not be
complied with, we cannot doubt that Lord
Lyons WILL under the instructions of his
government, withdraw with the British del
egation from Washington"
The London Post (the official organ of
Lord Palmerston) re-afirms the previous !
statement that the law officers of the crown
had decided that the action of Can't. Wilkes
in Selling Messrs. Slidell and Mason on
board the Trent was uniustifiable. This
is also made by the Times, which
adds that the conclusion was that CAPTAIN
Wilkes had a right to visit aud search the
ship, but finding ON board of her any men |
)r things believed to be contraband of war.
lie should have taken her into port and sub.
nitted the case to prize court.

!. u. 5. CoNeREss.-In the Senate yester.
day, the resolution introduced by Mr.. Trum.
bull, enquiring of the Secretary of State
whether he had ordered the arrest of any
persons in the loyal States, and under wha,
law, came up for consideration. Messrs
Dixon and Wilson deprecated the introdac.
ton Of the resolution. Mr.. Trumbull defen.
ded it as just and necessary. He denied the
right of any officer of the government to as
sumo despotic powers at will, and denounced
arrests. at the whim and caprice of Cabi.

ought to be corrected by law. ut was at
such times as these" he said. that the foun-
dations Of tyranny were laid" Finally the
resolution was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary, by a vote of Is yeas to II

strong gr' nnds against the system of arrests

In the House of Representatives, Mr. Val
landigham offered resolution declaring it
to be 1.-the duty of the President to su stain
captain Wilkes 10 spite of any menace or
demand on the part Of the British govern.
ment, and pledging the President the full
support OF the House in vindicating the hon.
or OF the government and people of the Uni
ted States against a foreign power" It was
referred, by a vote of LOG to Is, to the Com.
mttee on Federal Relations. A bill to raise
an additional force te defend the BORDERS of
Kentucky was then called up. It led to a
discussion, in which Mr.. Blair stated that in
every instance that the Federal troops had
met the enemy they had been met by supe-
rior force, and that the Confederates had not
been driven back one foot. Mr. Loveioy as
serted the same, and attributed the reverses
OF the Federal arms to the want of competent
generals The bill was passed.

The 1einforcements which were on their
way to save MuNigan-where were they?
II appears from paragraph IN the Leav-
enworth Times that Gen. Lane, on the day
before the surrender, was al West Point,
Bates county, No, some sixty miles south
west Of Lexington, and moving towards
Papins1illc, still further of, to seize 4 bag
gage train belonging to Gen Rains This
was q 1audable design, and doubtless O
necessary movement Oh the part Of Gen.
Lane, because he has no baggage train Of
his OWL, and can only get one by helping
himself to that Of his adversary. But
meanwhile Mulljgan and his garrison were
at their last gasp. Let Us not do the Kan
sas General injustice. News does not
travel either by lightning or railroad in
the region which Lane is holding. The
mail coach lumbers along the wTetched
roads once week when the country is
quiet otherwise not at all. It's not pro-
bable that Mnlligan sent to Lane for help
he expected It. from another quarter
1t is not probable that Lane felt strong
enough to move against Prices army un-
less positively assured Of support from the
East. The event shows that if he ha6
been reckless enough to move, on his OWL
responsibility, to the help Of Mulligan, h
too would have fallen into the hands 0
more powerful antagonist
Of the whereabouts Of the otler thrr'
columns supposed to be moving to Mulli
pan's relief, We know next to nothing.
