TUESDAY MORNING. MARCII 29.  We give elseihere a moie extenda oritlitef the intelligence from America brought by the Hu boldt, the arrival of which vessel we noticed in our last publication. It possesses little European interest, but by all accounts the new President and his Secretary are tormented beyond humane,endurance by the applicants for office, a class of sharks more greedy, more importunate, and more numerous in the United States than in any other country on the globe  The general impression in well-informed political circles is, that the eastern fdifficulty will be amicably arranged, and that, notwithstanding the swagger of Prince Menschikoff, the whole affair will resolve itself into a dispute about the Holy Shrines. This is, of course, a diplomatic pretence, but it is well that the thing has had no worse end. - .  , The French fleet which was to sail from Toulon on the 23d instant had not left on the 24th. It was expected that the government would countermand the sailing.  There has been an attempt to introduce the Irish practice of a ' row ' at an election in the manufacturing town of Blackburn, one of those Lancashire burghs which may be considered an offshoot from, if not a suburb of, Manchester. The opposing parties were marshalled in military array, posts were taken possession of, and things looked like a regular fight, when the military were called in, and the public peace preserved. There was, it seems, no adequate police force, as the Blackburnians, like all other intensely democratical constituencies, bare a remarkable horror of rates for that or any other purpose ; and no doubt, bad some half dozen of the incipient rioters been shot by the soldiers, we should have had another trial for murder,' and flaming speeches in the House of Commons about the liberty of the subject, the freedom of election, the sacredness of the persons of voters, and so forth. With the Six-mile Bridge affair fresh in our memories, we most agree with the Tinios of Saturday in thinking that, if the municipalities of these turbulent Lancashire towns will not impose taxes on themselves for their own protection, it should be done for them, and that constituencies so unequal to the duties of the franchise should be relieved from its pressure. ' There will be no end to trials for homicide if these petty burghs be indulged with the liberty of throwing the defence ,of their property and qf the lives of their in-dwellers an the °wintry ; and a regard for the public morality urgently, demands that our Catholic fellow subjects ' meaning thereby the vagrain Irish who find work and wages in/the English towns —should be prevented from introducing into Britain the barbarous practices of their own island. nines we have alluded to the Six-mile Bridge trial we must be allowed to say, that the argument of Sir John Young, the Irish Secretary, and an old Orange Man and Tory of the Peel stamp, was even more extraordinary than that of Judge Perrin, who immortalised himself by declaring that to be law which everybody else felt to be nonsense ; for Sir John actually maintained, in the debate of the 17th of this month, that the offending parties were not the priests and the mob whom they collected and directed, but the parties who dared to put forward a candidata'. opposition to the priestly nominee. That candidata having no chance of success, his nomination, accord. lug to Sir John, was an actual political offense, similar in enormity, so said this truly Mornlan authority, to 'the case of persons rebelling against
