The news by this arrival is a week later than that previously received. On the night previous *r\ Vta Honttrtnr* e\f tho \ifttr?pa Mr. Dinntpli iin noun red in the Hon*? of Commons that a^despatch had just been received from the French government that completely restored the friendly relations that had subsisted bet wren France and England, and would, therefore, be conducive to the interests and happiness of both countries. Insurrectionary symptoms had appeared in various parts of Fraace, and a large number of arrests were made. A new trial had been refused tbe convicted conspirators. In Ix>ndou the money market wan dull. Consols closed on the 12th at 96| a 964- American securities were dull with a declining tendency in prices. The Liverpool cotton market was very dull, the sales of the week only amounting to 21.000 bales. Owing to heavy arrivals and the limited demand, a decline of onefourth to three-eighths of a penny per pound had been submitted to. Tbe Liverpool breadstuff* market was quite dull. Ln provisions there was no movement of importance. By the arrival yesterday of the steamship Moses Taylor and St. Louis from Aspmwall, we have news from California, Central America, New Granada, the Booth l'aciflc and the West Indies. The Mose* Taylor brought the Han Francisco mails to tbe f>th inst. and one million four hundred thousand dollars in treasure. The trip from Han Francisco was performed in less than twenty-one days, and is the quickest passage ever made over the mail route. The news from California is a fortnight later than previous accounts, but is unimportant. The people were rejoicing in tbe prospect of returning prosperity. and the state of the maikets seemed to warrant the hthef that they would not be disappointed. Henry Bate*, 'he alleged defaulting State Treasurer, had been tried for toe third time, and succeeded in obtaining a verdict of acquittal. The legislature bad sent a memorial to Congress asking that the mail contract 1* divided between the two competing line* of stsamship*. A melancholy tragedy had happened at Crass Valley, in the family of Mr. M. liraonan. who waa formerly connected with the press in tin, city, but who left for California about two year* since to superintend the affair* sf a mining company. It appear* that he became embarrassed in his pecuniary affair*, and to relieve himself of his rare* and trouble* he produced the destruction of himself, wife and three children by the use of prusaic acid. From Central America we learn that <;en. Lamar, onr Minister to Nicaragua, was formally received bv the Marline* government on the 22d ult., and addressed the President in a speech, published elsewhere which gave very great satisfaction. The ^ riaam treaty was nnrter consideration in the Lrgi* hit iff Assembly, and the general feeling was that it would net be approved of, except with mi<i> modifl f ation* ?* would render a reopening of negotiations at Washington necessary.

It was said that the Governor of Jamaica would recommend the Legislature to rote an appropriation towards the connecting of the island with Europe hod the United States by means of tho Atlantic telegraph. The new Immigration act was opposed by the Baptist and Independent clergymen. The weather was very cold, and it was feared that the sugar crop would be a short one. The reports from the mines were favorable. The markets were dull, owing to excea! aive imports from America. Coffee was in scant supI ply, and the money market stringent. In the other ! West India islands the question of obtaining a supply of laboring bands engaged the attention of the people and the legislatures. The reports from the sugar districts aud of the public health were gonerally good. We have news from Venezuela to the effect that the partisans of ex-President Paez had raised the standard of revolution Against the Monagas dynasty, and that President Monagas was closely besieged iu the palace by ths revolutionists.

The chiefs had commenced kidnapping and waging war on each other, in order to obtain a supply of hands for ex port, and it was thought that the free government would attempt to suppress this scheme of renewal of the slave trade in effect. Peace prevailed at date. Trade was dull, palm oil scarce, and money difficult to obtain. Potatoes and rice were in good supply, and the report of a famine in the colony was not well founded. The Liberia College would be located on Mesurado's Heights. The New tirloans correspondent of the Galveston Ntv* writes that Colonel Lockridge is expected to leave for Texas on the 24th ia*tant, with the iuten tion of revolutionizing Northern Mexico, and that many Northern men and considerable means are engaged in the enterprise. A letter from Colonel Lockridge to the AVic* confirms the statement. Nothing of importance occurred in Congress yesterday. The Senate was not in session. In the House the Kansas debate was continued. Our readers are reft rred to our reports elsewhere for yesterday's proceedings of the Legialature. The suit in the Supreme Court with regard to the raising of the ship .!< ?eph Walker, which has been going on for some d*y?, was concluded yesterday. The jury were directed to bring in a sealed verdict this morning. The Hoard of Aldermen met last evening. A resolution to petition the Legislature to confirm in the city for market purposes land made west of West street at Washington market was adopted.

ThU philosophical truth giro us hope that a time may arrive when Kansas and niggers will, at all events, bo temporarily disposed of, and Congress will treat itself to some new and more nutricious pabulum. The petitions whieb are being forwarded to Washington from all parts of the omutry iu favor of the passage of a Bankrupt law, the failures which, though not announced in the papers, are in reality increasing weekly in number, and the general feeling that the time has arrived when the United States must place itself on a par frith other commercial nations in affording security alike to the creditor and the honest debtor, all go to show that the subject will very shortly become the all engrossing question. There is a striking similarity between the present condition of the country and the era extending from 1837 to 1841. Bank inflation* and speculations had at that time produced the came results they have now, and thousands found themselves unable to meet their liabilities. The country was not as wealthy then as it is at present; and although the number of failures was probably far under what it will be now, the effects were more immediately apparent Mr. Van Buren, in 1837. believing that mnch of the then impending evil was due to an irresponsible issue of p*per money, recommended the passage of a Bankrupt law, applicable exclusivelr a ltunl.'u* o uimilur itlaa Kawinei Ktuin ! n J fcW MUUIW1, ? DIUUIIU llftb* UKTIU^ UVVU IUUUUU tually mooted ia Congress as far back as 1827. The subject was not, however, pressed. Thus matters remained until the election of General Ilarrison. when the whig party, under the lead of Mr. Clay, prepared for a series of sweeping laws, including a distribution of the public lands, a national bank, and a repeal of the independent treasury law. A Bankrupt law formed no part of their schedule, but the adrocates of that measure which really had not a majority of friends in either housemanaged at the extra session to get it passed by a judicious system of logrolling, which compelled Mr. Clay to favor it. and pass it in advance of bis own measures. In the discussion preceding its passage an effort w as made by the democrats in both houses to extend its provisions so as to include bunks and corporations, and also to make it less an insolvent and more a Bankrupt law. But the friends of the banks and corporations were too strong, and the effort was defeated by a decided vote, embracing every whig in Congress. What we now require is a general Bankrupt law properly framed and strictly guarded, and which will embrace banks, railroads, corporations and individuals, and thus carry out the evident intention of the frajners of the constitution. The arguments which have heretofore been used to exclude the banks and corporations are of the most flimsy character. It has always bee.i urged when the subject has been before Congress that the term " bankruptcy" has in England a local meaning referring wholly to individual trader*, and that the frumers of our Constitution. recognizing the judicial system of England, evidently intended the term to ap ply to individual* only. A sufficient answer to thi* is fonnd in the fact that since the adoption of our constitution the Parliament of Kngland has materially (hanged, and enlarged their Bankrupt law*, extending their provision* to nearly all classes, and including bauking house* and corporation*, ff we are. therefore, to be governed by Kugliah authority, it follow* tb?t Congress ha* at least equal power with the Parliament of that country to eularge the meaning of the term, independent of this i* the common sense view of the matter, that we must judge of it* origin and meaning irrespective of the particular construction put upon it l>y Kngland. and that no such restriction an the bankn and corporations sought to maintain can be found beyond the mere fact that the bank* and corporations hail been strong enough in Kngland a* in thi* country to control legislation, although, as wo have alresdy remarked, thi* no longer holds good in England a* applied to their Bankrupt laws. Had a proper Bankrupt law been in existence last year, none of the bankn here would have, suspended specie payments, for it would have permanently closed their doors. Let such a law be piuwcd. and they will bo compelled to manage their business carefully, and thus *e cure the community against the inflation of that , class of mercantile rJuvaUrr* d'xntituirv, who, by | trading on borrowed capita], give a fictitious ! value to everything, increase the cost of livI iug to the poor man in consequence, and end by cheating every one. A Bankrupt law extending to corporations would soon wind up the rotten railroad companies, and give ua bona tMU representatives of property in the place of the wretched fanmrt who now float on the surface of the commercial world. Unless we can adopt a proper, uniform and general system of Bankrupt law, we must expect periodical return* of "crises" n* the only manner in which the commerce of the country can purge itself and obtain temporary relief. Such ha* been onr history for the last fifty years?alternate "flash times" and then "panics." That is to *av. for a while under a fictitious svs tem of credits and consequent inflation the nominal price of everything has gone up; fortunes (on paper) have been made: pa/ da/ cornea, aDd then the race commence* an to who ran cheat most. the creditor! one another or the d-.btor cheat both. Meantime the real sufferer* are the laboring claanea. mm and women thrown suddenly out of employment, crowding the almehouae*, shivering in the *treets, and filling pauper's prater, wiere tho curtain faila on their miwry. We call upon Congress to bortir itself, and dropping niggers for tho nonce legislate for the boiiolit ol commerce, of a system of national honesty, and on the strong ground of humac'ty to the working classes.

Tl'liDAY, MAKCH 27, 18o Km> ok inn Anoi.o-Kkknch Saji ahhi.k.?The Niapara brings an important item of newa, namely, the settlement of the dispute between Enpiand and France. On the 12th, the day before the eteamer railed, Mr Dlrraeli announced in Parliament that government had received a Y( ry satisfactory despatch from the French government, iu reply to Lord Malmesbury, and that all misunderstanding between the two countries waa at an end. So this cloud haa blown over. The blunder Into which the French ftll?the publication of the addresses of the vaporing colonels in the Monitnr, and the tone adopted by the highest officials of State?waa, it maybe depended upon, cot committed by the Bmperor. It waa a blunder of over-zealous and indiscreet wiltordinat**, seeking to curry favor by tremendous protestations of loyalty and fury against any and every one who might in any way be coupled with the assassins. As soon as the Emperor perceived it, he bestirred himself to mend the mischief; and now, it seems, he has succeeded. That "blunder of Vt'alewski and the other hot headed Bonapartists cost England her administration, and very nearly cost the two countries the alliance. The Emperor Is now precisely in the position in which Louis Philippe found himself prior to 1B4T. Louis Philippe and his Minister, Guizot, were perfectly satisfied that the one thing needful for France was peace with England. On the other side of the channel, Sir Robert Peel on the one side, and Palmerston, Russell, Grey and the liberal leaders on the other, were all imbued with the same opinion as regarded France. M. Guizot tells us In his memoirs how these statesmen actually conspired together to keep the peace between the two countries, no matter what j differences might occur, or how the populace might rage. He also describes the immense difficulty which attended their honorable task, in consequence of the bitter and apparently incurable hatred which the masses of the two countries felt for each other. M. Guizot, however, surmounted the obstacle, and carried his point. Napoleon has just experienced one of the difficulties which beset M. Guizot. He seems to have overcome it; but if he does not impose more discretion upon his subordinates, the next difficulty may be lew easily got over. Mork Goun.?The California Hteainer arrived yesterday with fourteen hundred thousand dollars more in specie. Thus our banks continue to swell their surplus, and will continue, iu the present depressed state of trade, to accumulate until by midsummer, in all probability, they will bold the enormous aggregate of forty-five to fifty millions of specie, with nothing to do with it but to brnd it out on whatever they can get. People are not generally aware that we may perhaps lie on the eve of another gold mania similar to that which was witnessed in 1848-'50, when the gold in California was discovered. Sonera, and ita vicinity ? which the church paity in Mexico are anxious to sell to the Uuitcd States?are known to be full of silver and gold. The latter la believed to be even more abundant in Sonora than in California. It is known that for years parties who profited by the experience of California have been ready to avail themselves of the first ohance for making a descent upon the gold of Sonora. and believe that it would prove even more fruitful than auy auriferous region yet opened. Should the present anarchy in Mexico lead 10 a sale of Sonora to us?as the church party want?what a tremendous change would follow!

We are glad to know that all these supplies are on their way to the camp; but should they not arrive In season this Mormon rebellion may assume a \ ery formidable shape.

That venerable police officer, Dogberry, was no fool, after all; but, according to the proceedings of our Metropolitan Board upon the question of tyranniride, he was a model of wisdom and justice. Messrs Bowen and Company have decreed substantially that the refugee Allsop is lurking about in this neighborhood, bat that It Is none of the business of the New York police to meddle with him. And why! Because, granted that be was one of the conspirators against the life of Louis Napoleon, inasmuch as Louis Napoleon was not killed. AIlsop has committed no ofTence within reach of the law. Very true, a doron men of the cmnnwa sort were killed, and some one hundred asrit twentv others w.-re Wounded by those Infernal machines, lait nil this r(?k for nothing. OHni, Allxop and their confrdcratra expected some trifling casualties of this sort; but their special object being Louis Niipolcon. and Louis Napoleon baring escaped, the conspirators cease to l>e criminal* and come only the instrument# of an unfortunate accident.

Lamar, the United Stated Kutoj , had arrired at Granada, and presented his credentials to President Martinez, who received him with apparent cordiality. Wm. Cafrey Jones' mission was considered ended, and he had left Grauada avowedly for New York. President Martinez, as well as the legislative and constitutional powers, were busy with the consideration of American affairs, and had extended numerous counesies to me American repretwmauve. vur correspondent thinks, however, that both the people and the government were suspicious of American sincerity of desire tin the beat interests of Nicaragua, and that If tfcere was to be a treaty, England and France would be first consulted. An amnesty had been issued for all Nicaragua political offenders, excluding, however, the men who were with Walker at the surrender to Capt Davis. This may give trouble to American residents charged with complicity with Walker, as they are not included in the decree. Affairs in Central America and Mexico are now in that condition as to require the particular attention of our government. Tub Cuxvajuxk Whbb at Another Friohx.? The Chevalier Webb has suddenly bccomo very much alarmed concerning the safety of Mayor Tiem&nn. We are praising the Mayor, it seems, and his honesty as a reformer, because we wish to break him down. There may be some logic in this, for all that we know; because when we canuot demolish a great man by a fierce opposition, it very often happens that we can kill him with kindness. Thus, if our support of Fremont, Parker and Mayor Wood was the secret of their defeat, our support of Mayor Tlciuanu uiay also settle his business for him. But let the Chevalier Webb apply the same rule to our support of himself and all his grand financial schemes for some years past, and tremble in his boots. BL'NSBT A MONO THK NlUOEIt WoiWHIIVKRH.

We accept this opinion, for within a week it will be fully confirmed, but very much to the consternation of Bunsby. \ Bou- Man Wantv.d.?The Charleston Mercury hopes that some bold roan may be found in Congress bold enough to rise up and denounce the "unsoundness of those renegade Southern representatives" who are playing fast and loose upon the great question of Southern rights. We hope so too. Let this bold man be ferreted out, and let him speak to the said renegades in a voice of thunder and lightning. Anything weaker will not answer. Time is preciuua. THE LATEST NEWS.
