The Diet ict Attorney then moved that the oaae be sent tha aext United States attic, Court, but that wis also refused; and a sabsequent jmotion to defer it to another day in this term met with the ram a re toll. Tbe District Attorney then declined to p-oeetd with tbe pros' cution, unprepared aa he was; and the Judge, in that state of tha caw, ordered the recognizances of the parties, ($10,010 each,) to be discharged, and Mews. ard Fabtnato enter into tbeir own recognizances lo $1,000 saeh to appear and answer tha charge against then aext term.

Tha Peninaular Bank of Detroit waa robbed an Saturday of seven thousand dollars, in five and ten dollar bills. A reward of five hundred dol'ars is offered for the ttieves and the money. The British brig Venus, from Nassau for Na York, was run into by schooier Hanover, off the of the Delavare, on the fish aal both vessel and cargo were sunk. Tbe crew and passengers of tbe Venas were rescued, and have arrived at Norfolk.

Tbe sales of cotton yesterday were onfioed to about 1,000 to 1,200 bales, the market cloeing without quotable change in prices. Had holders bsen disposed to have conceded a trifle, the sales would prcbably have been quite large. Offing to lim'itsd supplies, aid an active home demand, floor again advarced 12? cents, and in eome cases 25 cants, per barrel, cn common, medium and good grades. Southern white wheat sold at $2 55, and Canadian waa told $2 60. Indian corn varied from $1 14 a II 16.

Provisions were firm, without change of momtiit in quctati.ni. Cuba molasses was a stive. The transacticsa embraced 1,600 hhds. tart, for ing, paitly for the East, at prlcts ranging from 24c. a which was an ad vance.

About 2,500 bales of cotten were engaged for L'verpool at 5-16d. to 3 lCd. ib. So More Slave States. The Legislatures of ssveril Northern States? Massachusetts, New Yprk, Connecticut and others have passed resolutions declaring, among other that there shall be no more slave If this doctrine prevails in the North, they will bare the power to enforce it in Con.

grees. But it is easy to see that the attempt to enforce it will put us upon the highroad to disunion. The only guarantee which can now inmre the perpetuity of the Union, is something like a balance of power to the South, as a breakwater in the general government against the aggressions of the North. This bala ice, before the admission of California, the South possessed in the Senate of the UnUed States; but the addition of California to the free States has destroyed this equilibrium. The South desiie, therefore and they have the right to ask? the admission of another slavoholding to this lost equilibrium of forces in 4 he Senate.

To this end we may expect to see K-insas, within a 3 ear or two, knocking for admission into the Union. Should the North refuse to admit her. in the event of a constitution recognizing the existence of slavery, we are hurried to the nltimate question of union or disunion The moment the South discover that the power of the North in Congress is to be devoted to the crushing out the institution of slavery, the alternative of secession comes up in a pa'pable shape. Aid this is the drift of this Kansas imbroglio. All this mock philanthropy about human freedom, liberty, and the horrors of Southern slavery, is mere stuff and The real question is union or disunion.

Tne African race, whether as slaves iu the South or "free colored Americans in the Nor occupy the position, socially aud politically, of an inferior race, and properly so, and simply because the great Creator has made them an inferior race. In the same community with the white man, the black, enslaved or emancipated, must forever occupy a degraded position Iq a community purely African, even the civilized black relapses again to African indolence and barbarism. See Hayti Ja naica. S'opthe supplies of christianized rccraits from onr Southern States to Liberia, and that republic, in the space of two cr three generations, would probably degenera'c into a petty kingdom of cannilmls, with a savage beast as thoir ruler, horrible and bloody as the of The three of the African race, th.j most enlightened and the happiest in the warM, are the three million slaves of our Southern States. Tbis cry of slavery, the horrors of slavery, stop the extension of slavery, is therefore a mockery a Reduced to its Jin -il consequencfs.it means di-ruption, disunion, a war of sections, a war of fire and anarchy end indiscriminate slaughter.

Coalitions are the order of the day. There are do interests, however apparently antago nistic, no prejudices, however strong, which are not capable of being reconciled.

In politics we have seen how easily extremes meet; and in musical affairs we have just had a similar illustration. The junction of the rival Opera companies of the Academy of Mut ic and of Niblo's has come upon every one with surprise. The former had no sooner had a spell of raccess, after the most trying and discouraging struggles, than it was menaced with an opposition of a most formidable character. It was an opposition against which all the artistical talent, all the managerial tact, ard all the great tloaccfbl resources of the Academy would have found it difficult to contend. The Opera company at Niblo's would, by the force of its own merits, have lived out full term of its engagement, without nuking much by the enterprise, it is true, but still doing enough to damage its wealthier rival, and to convert tbe hard earned successes of the Utter into perhaps disastrous losses.

Those who were acquainted with the merits of the artUt9 composing the new company at Niblo's, awaited in dismay the result of this ruinous contest. It presented the Directors of the Academy with pretty much the same prospects as those which stared Mr. Lumley in the lace when Gye carried off mcst of his leading artists and established a rival Opera in Covent Garden. Owing to the obstinacy of the former, the rival house throve sufficiently to ruin the lestee of her Majeety's Theatre, without benefitting at all its own lessee. Had Lumley a little tact and more pliancy of character, he would have accommodated matters with the refractory members of his troupe, and spared the heavy sacrifices which he was subsequently compelled to make.

Strong, however, as he fancied himself in the support of the aristocracy, he refused to make the least coucestdous, and the oonsequeqce was that be lost every penny that he had previously acquired. There is no position, perhaps, which requires greater judgment and diplomatic tact thaa that of an impresario. Singers are proverbially the most perverse and difficult race to deal with in any of the pursuits of life. Just as they are now so they were in the tine of Horace. No one, therefore, has a chance of conducting successfully the affairs ol an Opera house, unless with great administrative skill he combines a profound knowledge of humau nature and great adroitness of manner.

He has to adapt himself to al! sorts of characters and dispositions, and to diplomatise in circumstances in which he ought to be able to command. Curious to say, although the present directors of the Academy are almost all men of business, and are presumed to have little experience in such matters, they have exhibited more of those qualities than any of the professional impresarios we are acquainted with, Either the committee as a body, or some master spirit amongst them, (doubtless the Chevalier Wlkoff.) seems of late to be guiding the affairs of the society with unerring judgment and success. We Baw how, after the failure of Ole Bull, the disorganization and discouragement which threatened the disruption of the troupe, were all at once converted, by the magic tou jh of some invisible wand, into harmonious action and confidence. Since then the admirable management which has been evinced in the control of all tie details of the administration, in which the selection of new and attractive works, and the completeness of their mise en scene, formed, of course, the principal features, has conducted the establishment in a short time to a height of prosperity unexamp'ed in the history of similar undertakings in this country. All the fruits, however, of this careful and skilful management were, as we have already stated, perilled by the formidable charac.

ter of the opposition threatened by the new troupe at Niblo's. It was impossible New York could sustain two such companies, each of sterling merit, and doubt and anxiety consequently impended over the prospects of both It is under such difficult that gi eat men show themselves. There was but one means of reconciling the rival interests but it was one thing to suggest it, and another to carry it out. To the flbevalier Wikoff belongs both the credit of the idea and the accomplishment of the work of the coalitioa. Ia delicacy and difficulty it deserves to classed amongst the most famous fusions of rival interests on record, whether political, religious, or artistical, not excepting the patchwork cabinet of Lord North, the mongrel adminU'ration of Lord Aberdeen, or the coalition of ChrK tianity and Mahommetanism under the auspices oi the new Holy Alliance.

Having overcome this last and moat formidable obstacle in their path, the directors of the Academy have now but little to fear from any fresh attemp at rivalry. They hare got before the wind with full sails, and they lve only to persevere in the judicious, liberal and popular spirit which his marked their management of late, to secure the most brilliant results. In the meanwhile, the lovers of the Italian lyrical Muse may congratulate them selves upon her having taken up her permanent abode amongst us, as their favorite amusement seems now finally placed beyond the dangers arising from incompetent management and in sufficient resources.

Let frou The Ruder Conspiracy and thb One the kitchen organs at Washington ia highiy incensed at our presumption in calling the administration to account concerning the free soil land speculating proceedings of Governor Reeder, Forney and others, in the Territory of Kansas. The only distinct averment, however, which this kitchen org makes npon the subject is, that the Kansas lands bought up by were procured in the usual way. We have no doubt of it, and the puv'lio are pretty well informed of the usual way of landjobbers in their bargains with the Indians.

But it this advocate of Rttder and Forney has no defence for them and the administration against our charges, it bag its usual fund of vulgar abuse of "Bennett," signifying nothing. It is stuff and rubbish, wasted up the wind. How deep must be the degradation and imbecility of an administration which has no better means of defence against its assailants than this vile girbage of its kitchen scullions! The real question at issue, however, cannot thus be shirked and evaded. Has not Mr. Pierce cheated and swindled tbe South up this question in the practical organization of the Territorial government of Kansas? Was not Mr.

Recder appointed Governor with a full knowledge in the Cabinet of hia free soli proclivities as a politician and as a speculator? Do his acts and proceedings show that his great aim has been to make Kansas a free soil Territory, in the encouragement of free soil emigrants, and in deterring Southern slaveholders from settling in the Ttiritory And whether he is now displaced or not, the mit chief has been done an agitation has been excited the probable consequences of which no human imagination can ccmpass. We say that this appointment by Mr. Pierce was perfectly consistent with his free soil Van Buren antecedents, and that upon this Kansas question, as upon the Cuba question, he has been deceiving and cheating the South. And now what's to be done, we should liko to know This kitchen abuse of Bennett" does not settle the issue with the Miwourians. The Anniversaries The Anniversary week is upon us.

Let the orators and chaplains at the various meetings make short speeches, short sermons, and short prayers, and they will save time, labor and money. Mauy of our parsons and reformers from ihe "rurtl districts," on these occasions come to town for Iheir new suits of clothes, some made to order, others taken second hand from Cheap John's" of Chatham street. In these purchases, let the brethrci of tbe city see tc it that their friends fro the country fall not into the clutches of Peter Funks and such like hard customers. Above all things, let our anniversary people of the various religious societies avoid the theatres, the negro minstrels, the grogshops, the mock auctions, and all other bad places. Tne devil exeroises a large jurisdiction among our uagodly population but let tne brethren consult Mayor Wood for further advice.

He kaows all about it. We hope and pray, in any event, that the late example of our in their visit to this great metropolis will be repudiated by our anniversary societies. The Legislature, under the lead of the Lieutenant Governor, got boozy on bad brandy at Blickwell's Island, and then went back to Albany and passed the Maine Liquor lav. Let our religious friends now in town eschew bad brandy, avoid Blackwell's Island, stick to cold water, and get all the money they can for the conversion of the heathen. Upon this platform we may say, rejoice, brethren, for the victory is ours.

Temperance We see that the temperance people are bringing out the legal opinions of eminent lawyers on the new liquor law as fast as the liquor dealers. Where now art the great guns of the latter party, Bronson, 0 'Conor, Gerard and others? Let them ome out with their written opinions. But above all others, we call upon Julge Edmonds to come out. Let him forthwith summon a meeting of the spirits of the leading lawyers of all ages, from Moses down to Sir William Blackstone, and from his spirit down to that of Gen. Jackson, and have a discussion and a decision upon the constitutionality, the meaning, the intent, and the expediency our new liquor liw, from beginning to end.

Without some such interpretation, we fear the law will neither be respected nor understood. Let Judge Edmonds, therefore, call np the great legal spirits of past ages for a thorough dissection of this puzzling, this inexplicable liquor law. Rap rap r.ip What's lhat?

Broadway Fanny Vliilug. I.ast night, a br ut interval, ss Fanoy Vinin; made her second apptemnce before a New audience. We regretted 10 find that the house waa thinly attended? a circumstance that rathsr aurpriaol us, considering the favorable impreaaion mtde by thia lady cn her dibut at ibl? thMtre.

Miss Vining brings this country a high theatrical reputation. Her name and family have been iientlded for geaerattens with tha Ergllsh stage. Reared in the traditions of its moat correct models, and carefully trained from lier chilihood for the prcfession by her father himsel' an accomplished actor? Mus Vieing could not fail to make a correct artist. Her own natural glfta have, r-ovever, ooutrlbuted to tender her something more. With fine expressive features, a well forned and graceful figure, anl joutli, ahe combines a juat conception of her parts, great depth of womanly feeling, and a sustained poivtr or expression not often witnessed in actreaaes now a- Her Juliet last night was a decided success, being better than anything of the kind that has been witnessed here since the time oC Fanny Kemble.

We regret that the pressure on our columna will not permit us to enter into a more lengthened criticism of her performance. Suffice it to say, that it waa warmly appreciated by the audience, who calied Mica Vtnirg before tbe curtain at the conclusion of tha piece. To the auipriae cf every one she acknowledged tha compliment by a well turned little speech, in which aba expressed her gratitude for the favor shown her by American audiences, and her determination to merit it by her futuiveiertlons. Burton's Theatre? Dumaus' New Play. There was an "event'' lait night at this house? no less an event than the first performance of Alexander Dumas' play, "Ihe Youthful Days of tanis which waa written for Breeaant, Interdicted in Paria by the Mioigter of State, (Dumas waa then in diagram with the "powers" on account of a passage in hia "Counteaa de and sent by the author to the United nearly two yeara ago.

The event waa tbe more interesting because we believe that thia ia tha Arst of the eldee Dumas' dtamatlc efforts which haa been presented to the American peop'e. The play introduces over thirty characters, anl occupies four hoirra in ita performance. The plot is made up of a series of incidents, some historical and aome fanciful, and all conrected with the intrigues of Cardinal Mazarin and Anne of Anatria, wiile Le Grand Mcnarq ur wis emerging from puppyhood and beginning to feel himself what he proved himself to be at a later period, "every inch a king." Ttie author soma liberties with history, and is very lax in hia notiona of court; etiquette; but M. Dumas 1 aa proved that be la cot tha man to atop at triflea. It would occupy too much apioa we should endeavor to give an of the plot.

The piece ia rather too long, and haa etuff enough ta make a good three act drama which would iutereat aa during two ioura. It waa very finely dressed and mounted. We have never seen costumes so rich and generally eorreet. Although there are a great many parte, there ara very few good onea. Mr.

Jordan's performance oC Louia waa the principal feature of the piece. It waa highly creditable.

His acene with Louis in the second act waa an exception to thia general anmming up, beingeminently artistic and elTeotive. Mrs Barton was very clever aa Georgette, and tbe other parte were generally well sustained, although acme of the ladies were not so ready in the worda as they ahould have been.
