This is o«rtminly-a social phenomenon. ’.tat uok the least surprising of the results of thii-reveletiiJiisTy crisis is tbo overthrow in so short a period of a nice of statesmen who have |i tjii indent)l)ed whiz tbo imresimcracy and diplo- iii my of Enrol** for half, century.

From o^o extremity oT Europe to the other, the cabinets filled with newnion—with those to whom office ha* beou a happy contingency. and P r “j moliou a fortuuato accident. The Gnixots snd M etiernich* are fully s» obvious to die public ser vice of tbeir respective cooiitnes, as it they ban been striehei. with incurable disease. Tlie reac tionary spirit may bring back tho principles of monsrehy. but it will not restore the obnoxious stalesuieu, .who gave them vitality. Fortuuato is it that amidst this loss of political stirerieuce throughout Europe. administrative change has not followed political rovolutum-that b.es| S customs SUd nmoicipsl offices have not fnl- Icn-before that spirit of innovation which has aim ed at organic reruns.

Wun-Pd nego tiation are the games, which beiug played out 10 Uieir extreme consequence*, leavo severe traces o i tha welfnre of 8totes; but when wo descend from this elavaliou into the sphere _ of domestic politics—when we leave the splendid design* of external policy for tlie economy.of internal sd- ministraturn—unless there is a general dislocation of society, wolook forsoctal bappiuess within tbe circle of those municipal usages which rcniatu nu dist trbed by revoluliouary struggles. The first French revolulion broko up all tho lo cal arrangement* of an exteueivo country. It let iu the waters aud levelled all tbo land marks.— The recent chnnges iu Europe liavo fortunately left nothing iu this regard to rc-constrnct. If forms of goverumeut have been changed—if dy nasties have been overthrown—still the great body sif the people have been left in quiet possession of their domestic franchise*. Throughout Germany, and in gll other parti of Europe, tho agitation* ond changes have affected tho social extremities, and tiot the heart of society. The pnlnations that im port to it vital energy nre not reached by revolu tions that terminate iu dethronement and royal tauislimont. It would appear, therefore, that the reaction which baa set in thronghout Europe lias « i|e to meot resistance outwardly, nod not to for- • ii.lv reconstitute tho internal fabric of society— to euoei against tbe intervention that wonld div iu rl. authority where it reposes on its more lofty basis, and not where it is diffiised among tire local administrations. Factious have to lie kept in check, but them are in Urge cities, near tho seats of central power, aud not in tho province#. It would appear then that tho State of Enrope is hopefully reactionary, from tbe fact that tbe ques tions fur adjustment and settlement involve princi ples that do not doronud the reconstruction of tbe social edifice—that all administrative system* and tnsntcipal laws which bavo worked well, retain their primitive strength in-tbeir odoption to social habits- Tlie prospect is, therefore, more cheering for Germany thsuit wss for Franco iu tlie period of her first revolution. Germany, nexl to France, exarrises the largesuhsre of infinence in Euro|ie. Yet the tide has bseu rolled back which threaten ed tu overwhelm its different political division#.— Italian disturbances owe their existence to hopes which regard llio party couflicu in France as nnsoug the chancsa that favoar the establishment of a republic in Rome, and a union and confedera tion iu Italy, but tbe period ol republic* iu Eu rope is gone by, as tin) cause nl Federal Unity ba* received ut Frankfort its death blow.

A Roman Prophecy of WUhlaglM.

Three prediction* were known to oor Aecius, and ambmlisbed with the nrnsruent of poetry." Csa aav doubt lha ailssimi Left i* our Ipsutry and our VYalhinetoul niug, a letter from Mr. Clay, addressed to Mr. Fiu dell, of Kentucky, recommending a plau of citmu cipjtinii for that Statu. It is not our purpose to review this letter at length. Of course all will read it and judge for them solve*. The general point* of this siugslar dccumcut are stated iu the following pnssago: " Aftor full aud deliberate consideration of the subject, it appears to tno that three principles should regulate the establishment of a system of gradual emancipation. The first is, that it should be slow-iu it* operation, cautious and gradual so ns to occasion no convulsion : unr any rash or sud den disturbance in the existiug habits of society. SJ. That, as an iudispensible condition, the eman cipated slaves should be removed from tbe State t« soido colony. And thirdly, that the expense* of their transportation to such colony, including au outfit for six mouths after their'srrival at it. shuufd he defrayed liy a fund to bo raised from tbe labor of each freed sjave.” In addition to this, ho proposes u that a period should bo fixed when all boru after it should be froo at » specified age—all born before it remain ing slaves for life. 'Thai period be suggest# should be 18*S, or 18*0," &c. Whatever may bo the Uoy fixed, whether J8iu-or JSGO, or any other day, all boru after it, he suggests, should lio Tree at tbo ago of twenty-five, but be liable afterwards to be hir- tJ out, under tbo authority of the State, fora term not exccrdiug three years, ia order to raise a sum sufficient to pay tlie expenses of their transporta, lion to the colony, snd to provide them an out fit for six months after their arrival there. This is briefly the leading features of Mr. Clay’s proposed scheme for the emancipation of slavery in Ken- lucky. I* there a man iu the government, besides himself, who believes it practicable, even were it desirable, either in reference to tbe State of Ken tucky or any other State! The principles which NEW YORK, March 20th, 18<3 Saturday beiug iit. Patrick's day, there was a grand tarn out of adopted citizens, natives of tlie Emerald Isle. Perhaps a thousand were in tlie procession— clean,sober and respectable men, to all appearances. Wheal.waa a buy, this w as today on which every Irishman seemed to visa it- a religious duty to male a beast of himself. High and low, rich and poor— "Paddy got drunk," aa in duty bound. The temper ance reform has worked more wonders among this clusi of citizens, titan with all the rest. Yet who over beard of an Iriabtaan's abusing and backbiting bis neighbor, all for professed lovo of tbe gaod cause of temperance f Surely ..with all my experience with those people, and i t lias been extensive, I never have. I want no better proof of tbe greater efficienry of qui et, unobtrusive tussion and good example in the cause of this noble ebai-ity, than may be drawn from tho change which has taken place in this respect iu the character of tbo Irishman in America. I searched ono of the most frequented quarters of this immense city on this occasion, tc find a drunken Irishman, and I as sure you that I looked in vain, though wc have among us not less than six ty thousand souls born in Ireland. I do not mean to vrritc that not one was drunk on St. Patrick's Day. But so comparatively few were, that none were to be found in that condition in tlie course of the two or three trips back and forth I made from the post office to Chatham square, where one will see more Irish features in an boar, than iu a day's stroll through any other of.the one thousand thoroughfares of Gotham. There were perhaps a thousand Milesian faces in the prooeasion of Saturday. They rrenpose the various Hibernian benevolent societies.

Tbo four steamers then Utbed together, moved down the river nud tbe various committees proceeded on board the Emperor to annouoco to him that tho citizens were expecting his arrival and ready to teuder hint a formal reception. The New Orleans Crescent of Wednesday last ha* tlie foltowiug. Bs-Prrsideat Polk is expected to arrive this morning from Mobile. Suitable preparations have been made for bi* reception, and wc have no doubt that men of all parties will unite in giving him a conlial welcome to tbe Crescent City. If tlie weather provo favorable, as appearance* at the time we write indicate, tbe pruceuioii which will turn out to do honor to the Ex-President will be quite a brilliant affair. Vinoms Whigs.—Some twelve or lit'.sen Whig members of tile Virginia Legrslatnre, under Ike lead of Mr. Scott, of Fuqnier, opposed the passage of the Isle resolutions introduced iuto that body on the question of slavery. 8o great is the dissa- ijsfscliou with these gentlemen, on tbe part of their contlilueuU, that it is said that u number of them are voluntarily going, iuto retiremeut. Of his resolution, and M r. Scott himself, who went so far as to declare the Wdinot Provisoconstitutional, the Fredericksburg Whig, speaking-for the Whig party, says: '“As a party, they (tho Whig*) exe crate, as for as we can lew a, the resolution* of Mr. Scott, and will, if opportunity offer, aigunlfy re buke their author ” of leading to the etnanciptriioti of slavery in Ken tucky, would end, practically, iu its abolition there and uotbing more—by forciug tbe tale aud trans fer of her slavos to the States further Sooth. AL together, this scheme oi Mr. Clay for tbe emanci pation of slavery, is the most impracticaUo aud visionary we-barn ever ecru or read-of. Ho re serves to the slave-holder, daring the time this achcme.U maturing, all their legal rights over their slaves. They may “sell, devise, jr remove them from tlie State, aud iu the latter case, without- tiro uff'priug being entitled to the-beuefit of emancipatiuu which the system provides.-’ IVhat would be the practical workings of such a scheme iu Kentucky, or iu any other slave State I Unques tionably, very few slaves' would remain iu tiie State to be freed, uuder such a law. Tbe owners of that species of property would dispose of it to tbe people of die ailj-rioiog States, and at the end of thirty-five years, tlie time at which be propose* the first alavo would become Iree, it U not probable tbore could bo found in the limits of the State, one slave entitled to his freedom uuder tbe proposed plan. Wo would not be understood as aay mg that a practicable scheme of emancipation can be devis ed. Indeed, we do not believe that it coo be dene, nor do we regret the fact. Certain it is,-that hi tbe British and Freach West India Islands, where it has been attempted, the condition of tbo negroes has uot becu improved. And that the plan suggest ed by Mr. Clay would accomplish any good, wo do xnl believe. But in the letter uuder re view, not coutent with treating tbo question as one of purely political consideration*, Mr. Clay has taken up.the moral argument against the institu tion as it exists among- us. Ho says: "An argument, ia support ol reducing the Afri can race to shivery, is sometimes derived from tbeir alleged intellectual, inferiority to the while races; but if this argumeut be founded iu foci, (us it u,-" be, but which I shall uot oow examine,) it would prove entirety too much. U wquld-q>rove that any white nation, which had made greater advance* iu civilization, knowledge aud wisdom than ouu’licr white would bavo a right to reduce tlifc Utter to a of bondage. Kay far thcr, if tbe principle of subjugation foocdcd upon intellectual su|ieriority lie tone, aud be applicable to individuals f Aud then the wisest mau - iu the world would hares right to make slaves of all the rest of mankind!" Wo will not stop to discuss this prolific theme, upon which so much has lieeu Mid and written. All men having a share iu any South ern community, or au interest iu its peace and welfare, have already made Ibis question a grave subject for study. We will ouly state ill passing, tint Mr. Clay placerlllmsclf in a position in this extract, that removes all doubts with respect to 1*19 sympathies.

Hale—we regard a* perhaps the severest Mow we have ever encountered, because it comes from a man of long maintained position hi tbe country, and from whom we had a right to expect better things. But, ahu! bow many are called and how few are chosen! Clay and Van Buren, both in turn have judgo-t themselves unworthy of immor tality, aud tbeir light* btve gone oat in contempt. Some one has said, that every man sent to the win Id with a high purpose, is taken np.iuto bit mountain to bo tempted, aud if he there forgets that mau cauuot live by bread alone, his life loose* its meaning, aud the miracle subsides into a misera ble mistake forever. This country has uever fur- uisheJ two more strikiug illustrations of the truth of the remark than in tbe history of these men. Both Clay aud Van Buren, by a pitiful recau- tatiou, have forfeited forever the sympathy aud respect of that high sentiment to which they first appealed, but have since betrayed. In a swell of mock philanthropy these patriot* op. posed the annexation of Texas. By doiug this, pao of them shut clean out of (he sphere of availability, nud tbe olhei after being condemned by the pop ular voice of the country, survived oujy to receivo a atill more signal rebuke from bi* owu friends, by Being thrown overboard like tho disobedient pro phet of old, to appease tbe storm which be had raised. 7.Li* last letter of Mr. Clay, seal* his doom and will cou.* : «0 him to mingle with tho com mon crowd of abolition agitators, till “ hi* esreass is wasted by tlie way ” Tbe Slavery Qucatlou in Murylnsd. A meeting of tho citizen* of Charles couuty, irrespective of party, was held on ihu 23d ult., at Tort Tobacco, for the purpose of expressing their views in-relation to the extension of slavery over the new territories, aud other questions incidental to that subject. The meeting was addressed bv the Hon. Wm. IX Merrick-and others, alter which baldly over estimate ia writing you that they enntri buted directly and indirectly to that cause more than a hundred thousand dollars, half of which may have been expended immediately in aid of the “patbriots,” the rest having gone into tbe pockets of loafing uoisy humbugs, who thrust themselves forward as leaders in the movement, and iu paying tbs expenses incident to their many meetings, Ac. Many a poor fcHow, without-a second shirt to his back, freely gave the only five dollars that he owned iu the world, to the collector* of this tax upon them. Knowing well, as they do, that they were hambuged most vilely ou that occasion, they will go on, repeating the soineVaroe of heedless excitement whenever the canning leaders j who were tbe waid leaders of that, movement, find another opportunity to stir up iu their breasts a sec ond similar whirlwind of patriotic passiou.

To a caltiva- - ted mind, bee reading is au infinitely more delightful treat than tbe performance of the same play by any -company I ever saw upon the stage, with herself for thg bright particular star. Her chambermaids and foot men, or to speak properly, her female attendants and bcuchmeu, repeat tbeir respective part# of the play as appropriately as her Ophelia and Lady Macbeth.

Tho city merchants ssy that tbe spring trade is opening very promisingly, though but few country- dealers ora yet in upon us. A heavy and safe busi ness is certaiuly expected. The changes iu the ware housing system and other apparently unimportant commercial regulations, enacted recently by Congress, have certainly done much to increase the confidence of tlie eommoreial interest of the’city in the coming sea son's trade. There appears to be as little appreben sion of over trading, as that the goods in the wareliooscs of tbe city will be left on band'in too large qnantities. Thg remarkable excitement relative to California, which w»~* witnesseffhere two or three months ago, arose, perhaps, !•# much from the absence of legitimate basiuess excitement, as from any othercause. But the approach of tbe season when every man. woman, child snd heart in New York, identified in any man- ner with commerce, must go iC work id dead earnest, ix rapidly drawing California from ti»e trains of all save those who have nothing to do. Such composed most of tbe California emigration that ha* already gone fromdliis city, the emigrants having been fitteJ out for the most part by other persons on shares in tlie expected proceeds of their labor*. We have quite an exciting question in local politi cal circles raging just now.in connection with tbe Clin ton prison experiment. This institution was forced oat of the Legislature principally by the members from tbe city, who are uniting almost to a man against tbe growing custom of employing convicts to under work them in the production of various w are*. In this prison the evil so bitterly complained of by the me chanics, is avoided as much as possible. Oertain wealthy contractors for the labor of the convicts of the State prison at Auburn, aro taking the lead in efforts to abolish the new system commenced at tbe Clinton establishment; but 1 fancy that the many presses in the interest of the workingmen of the city, will prove too much for tbe capitalists in the struggle. Among the crying evils with which labor in New York has to contend, is the present city system of manufacturing clothes, boots, hats, aud a thousand ar ticles of prime necessity. No roan can safely go iuto tbe tailoring business, for instance, just now, except upon a large capital. There seems to be a struggle among tbe capitalists so engaged, to determine which shall find the roost expert work-women and men wil ling to labor for the smallest modicum, of meagre suf ficiency !*> support life, A city journeyman tailor is doing well if um&osc 87 j cents per diem, and a tailor- ess if making 25 cents, white the prices of ready made clothing yield, perhaps, greater profits upon capital employed in thu trade—and some millions sro so io- vestod in New York—than ever before. About five months since, an asuciation of steady journeymen tal. tors formed a dab, elected a auperintendant, and went to work on their own hook. They have recently pub- lisfied tbeir debtor and creditor account, which shows that while they have realized excellent wages for work actually done-, tbeir capital invested has paid a fair interest. Tbe result of this experiment will pro bably be to throw the ready-made clothing trade si- meat entirely into tbe bands of each astociatiaok. In deed, r sbaH not be surprised if the plan is generally adopted in almost all branches of city mechanics^ la bor. Under the pressing solicitation of the property bolder* in tbe vicinity of the present quarantine sta tion on Stateu Island, the Lower House of the New York Legislature have just passed a bill looking to its removal to Sandy Hook. This will be an excellent change, doubling the value of real estate on the part •of the island so appropriated, (for it is required forre- sidenco* for persons engaged to business in this city.) and also of real estate around the proposed location, which asvot is a desert, compared with most neigh borhoods to near New York.

Ou Saturday night 17th ult. a terrible accident dfccnrrcd at tbe Theatre Royal, Dunlop street, Glasgow. Au alarm of fire was given about 8 o’, clock, hi the tipper gallery,.the fire having been caused by the leaking of a gas pipe- The aceuo is thus described by a correspondent of tbe London Globe: It was soon apparent tn tbe tnnnagep that tbo fire had been occasioned by tbe explosion of gas, and be aud his company used tbeir utmost exer tions to restore order, in which they partially suc ceeded. Meanwhile tbe alarm bad been convey ed to the central police oflices; the fire brigade were very soon at tho theatre and immediately commenced operations, which increased the fear* of-tbe people, aud a general rush was innde to the doors, although the firewas already extinguished. It would be iu vaiu to attempt to convey an idea of tbe scene which the theatre now presented. On the gallery stair, at ouc of the landing places was n scene of the most horrify iug description— men, women nnd children, huddled together,trod den uuder foot, dead imd dying. The poor crea tures were carried to houses adjoining, and every exertion used tu restore animation, but, unfortu nately, without success, except in a few instances. Sixty-oue were tlead, and three sunt to tbo Royal Infirmary, two died upon the way and one sill ily after. Eleven persous. slightly bruised,'were re moved to their home* io a dangerous state. The sixly-oue dead bodies were, in the course of the evening removed to the Clyde street hospital, apd there kept autil Sunday morning for identification.
