CLYDE OV THE KS NEW-YORK.  The s.s. New-York, Capt. Craig, arrived in the Clyde yesterday morning at 7 o'clock. She left New-York on the 7th inst., and has thins made the passage in twelve and a•half days. She brings a general cargo, and a few passengers. We have three days' later news by this arrival. The Africa had arrived at New-York on the 6th inst.  We take the following summary of news from the New-York Herald of the 7th inst.:—  But little business of general interest ha; poled in Congress yesterday, both houses being occupied with the private calendars. In the Assembly yesterday a bill was reported providing for the removal of quarantine. It authorises the Governor to appoint five commissioners, who are to select a new location and erect proper buildings; and it allows the commissioners to select Sandy Hook if deemed advisable, and the authorities of New-Jersey concur. $150,000 are appropriated towards carrying out the objects of the bill. The powers of the Health Officer and Emigration Commissioners are not interfered with. Bradford K. Wood has been appointed a member of the New-York Has boar Commission, in place of Preston King, resigned. Several marine disasters aro reported, ariong them the wreck of the brig Eastern Belle, from Cadiz for New-Yerk, which went ashore at Long Beach on NVcdnesday morning last. The crew were with difficulty saved by the life ear. The skip Zingara caught fire yesterday morning while lying at one of the Brooklyn docks, and was scuttled and sunk in twenty feet water. She was a new vessel, and insured for 18,.000  The Bond Street murder is still the absorbing topic of the day with all classes of the people. At the coroner's inquest, which was still going on, each day's evidence increases in intensity the public wonder, and the revelations of each new witness adds to the interest of the terrible tragedy. It is understood that Mts. Cunningham will be placed upon the witness's stand th's morning. The Washington correspondent of the Herald, writing under date February 6, says :—The Dallas-Clarendon treaty has been rejected in the Senate by a large vote, or, in other words,recommitted to the Committee on Foreign Relations, which sends the document back to its originators for amendment. Several intimate friends of Mr. Dallas say he will at once resign his position. The Secretary at War has determined to send a new regiment to California early in the spring, a part to go across the Plains for the protection of emigrants. 1 understand that Judge Morton, counsel for the filibusters, who is now here, has notified to the administration that if bills of indicttnent are found against Messrs. Fabens, Lawrence, and others, by the District Court now in session, that President Pierce, his private secretary, and other officers, will he called to stand by the defence, and the expedition to Central America justified by their conseht. The Corruption Committee aro making out their report, and are in hopes to present it to the house on Monday next. Mr. Greeley is expected here to-night, having been subpcened to appear before the committee. Judge Striker, of New-York, testified before the committee that Greeley received a draft for $l,OOO, and Reverdy Johnson one for $1,500, for services in the Demoines railroad affair. The New-Ye:A lintel fi.ibusters are working like beavers, and persist in representing that R. J Walker is going into the State department. The National Theat:e was burned down to-day. It was burned on the sth of March, 1845, and rebuilt for Jenny Lind. The calmness of the atmosphere alone prevented the destruction of the whole square. The engines were on the ground, but had no water. Congress persists in refusing to supply the national capital with a sufficiency of water, and When a fire occurs the property, public and private, is at the mercy of the flames. We have news from Sierra Leone dated on the 20th of December. Affairs were quiet at Gambia. From the Leeward Coast and Cape Coast we learn that things were quiet, but business was very dull. In Sierra Leone trade had been flat, the principal produce offered being hides, and those but sparingly even at high prices.
