By Toloarapn. Cubic Despatches. LONDON, January 4-Noon.-The Ttmes, of this morning, in an editorial on tho re? lations of England with thu various pow? ers, says that, with the powers of Eurone, their relations have rarely, if ever, hoon better. Tho only difficulty, it says, seems to be with the United States, and with them it is most desirable that thc greatest friendship should prevail. It.urges upon the Government spicily and amicable ad? justment of ah outstanding differences. A telegram from ttic East announces that thc Sublime Porto bas consented to allow foreign ships of war to convey away suc'n persons as wish "to emigrate fruin Candia. It is also reported that the Turk? ish forces have boen successful in another hattie with the Cand?aos. LISBON, January 4.-The King of Portu? gal opened tho session of the Cortes, yes? terday. !n bis address, he invited their attention to the-organization of tho army and tito existence of slaver;, i'.' ?ho cro? nies. - Cowis.

Hi?' doors ufad the London clubs have boen thrown open t>> the yachtmcu, and the;, are warmly wel? comed wherever they appear in this city. Great preparations are Oeing mude by the Hoyal Thames Yacht Club for a banquet, which they will give to their brother yacht men to-morrow. PAMS, January ii. -The American re? sidents lu re have'invited the gentlemen of thc American yachts to a grand banquet, in tliis city. ST. PETEBSICRG, January 4.-Great in? terest is felt here ia tho recant oceanyacht race. The Imperial r?cht Club propose to extend an invitation tu ile- adventurous yachtmen to visit Kussia. Congressional. WASIUNOTON, January 4.- -la tin: Senate, "Messrs. Edmund? and Morgan presented petitions for Increased tarin" on imported wool; which wi ri- referr d tu thc Finance Committee. Mr. Trumbull called up the 1 ?ll tu repeal the President's amnesty power. The pend? ing question was on Mr. Saulisbury's amendment, to repeal the entire confisca? tion bill, instead of the thirteenth section of it. . In the House, Mr. Hubbard, of Connecti? cut, introduced a preamble and resolution declaring that tho people ought not, for thc present, to bo farther, ur any longer, taxed to ? ailie money for thc reduction of the public debt: which was referred to tho Committee of Ways and Means. On motion of Mr. Julian, tho Committee of Ways and Means was instructed to in? quire into tlie expediency of so arranging the tariff on sugar, molasses, coffee and other articles, us to discriminate in favor of free, grown us against slavs grown pro? ducts. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, called up his substitute fur tile bill heretofore re? ported fro ur the Recanstruction Commit? tee, providing loyal Governments for the Southern States. Stevens explained the bill, saying thc receut decision of th? Su? preme Court demanded immediate action on the part of Congress. That decision tool: away all protection from loyal citizens in tlie late rebellious States, and tho peo- ? plc there, -were subject to endless persecu? tions. If Congress did not take some ac 1 lion, it would be liable to Hie just censure j of the civilized world. Tlie military au- | thorities aro now powerless to offer any j protection, and cannot enforce the laws of ; tho country. At the conclusion of Mr. Stevens' re? marks, Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, introduced a substitute for the whole bill, providing, in effect, for conventions in the Southern States, to frame Governments, on certain conditions. Mr. Hubbard, of Wisconsin, introduced a r?solution, which was referred, declaring that not a single dollar should ho appro? priated for property destroyed by tho United States army in their efforts to put down the rebellion. Mr. bundy, of Ohio, introduced a bill to | divide Texas into four Territorial Govern? ments, to ba called Brazoriu, bravo, Sa hine and Lincoln, to be admitted as States '.mf when they have sufficient representative population, and ratified the Constitutional amendment. The preamble to the bill rev cites that tho to-called State of Texas, having waged war against tho United States Government, it forfaited all its pri? vileges and rights, and forfeited them by reason oi overt acts. The very name, it says, by which that, country is known, throughout all lanus, is suggestive of the penal colony of tho world. The name and history, therefore, indicate little else than bloodshed, ingratitude, violence and wrong. The bill was referred to the Com? mittee on Territories. Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, introduced a bill providing for organizing the militia. All persons between eighteen and forty live are to be enrolled, lt also proposes a ' National Guard, lo consist of two regi? ments of infantry in every Disiriet and Territory represented in Congress, one of which shall be composed of colored men, if more than one-third of the enrolled mili? tia therein shall be colored men. None who participated ii: tlie lats war are to bo officers or privates in the Natiuiial Guard, who may be called eut to suppress insur? rection or enforce laws. Tho bill was re? ferred to the Committee on Military. 7. P. M.-The House went into Commit? tee of the Whole, and several members made speeches on tho state of tho Union. News Items. NEW i"or.ii, January -1. Special de? spatches from New Orleans state that a United States gun-boat sailed suddenly for Vera Cru:: and Tampico yesterday, fur the purposo of watching events between tho two points. Minister Campbell has received no orders to communicate with the Go? vernment, and is btill in New Orleans. Mejia is said to l>e lying dangtrouslv iii, in San bonis Potosi, and two columns of Li? beral troops are marching upon that town. Tho Liberals also advanced a strong lino tu within eight miles of .Mexico city." Cor? respondence from tho Mexican "capital, dated December 1G, says Bazaine is putting money in bis purse by selling old muskets, arms and ammunition to the highest bid? der, whether Imperialist or Liberal. The French Ministor, M. llano, becoming alarmed at this, telegraphed to Napoleon for instructions, which has nut yet ar? rived. A bogus despatch, announcing the death of Carlotta, has been received by Maximi lian. Ortega lias issued a pronnnciamenh against Gen. Sheridan and Minister bo mero. . Tiie Times' special Washington despide, says the only foundation fur the impeac! nient story was Ashley's private announce mont that", on Monday ..ext, he intends ti press through {lis resolution raising a sr toot committee to inquire into the eonduc of tin- President, in thc hope of fmdim something that will warrant articles of impeachment. It may be that a majority in tho House really means, to press this matter to culmination; but, in that case, it is not at all likely to bo done under tho crazy leadership of Ashley. He could make ; nothing <>f it but i malicious and vindic? tive partisan crusade. WASHINGTON, January4. -The President has nearly completed his veto message of i thc District, of Columbia suffrage .bill, I which wiil he presented to Congress on I Monday next. It will be considered in thc 1 Cabinet to-day. The commit tee to investigate the mur? der of Union soldiers tn South Carolina j have concluded their labors, and their re- j port will cxhonoratc tko President. Stan ton assumes the responsibility of thc dis? charge of the alleged murderers. The Arkansas delegation were, to-day, introduced by tho President to Gen. Grant and all the members of tho Cabinet, who had assembled at tho Executive mansion. The object of the delegation is, to confer with all parlies, to soe what catt bo done for tho restoration of Arkansas, and t<> prevent the passage of an enabling Act. They say that tho State was never more peaceful than nov;, nor the people more obedient. Thc public tlebl statement for the 1st of January, ls'??, ismed to-day, shows tho debt bearing coin interest is "$140,049,074, 180; bearing currency interest, $**;;._>,:V7'.*, 440: matured dein, n?t pres. nted for pay mont, SI,G51.898.031: debt bearing no in? terest, $42,5G7,333,l:?2.

MONTREAL, January 4.- The Executive Council has boen itt session three day?, i Thc Fenians < nga?< d their attention part of thatime. !t is believed their sentences | will bc carried into < fleet. CINCINNATI, January 4.- Thc Democratic State Convention tnet-ts at Columbus ou Tuesday, to nominate a candidate for Go? vernor. Several Democratic County con? ventions favor submitting thc m gio suf? frage question to a popular vote. BOSTON, January 4.-Governor Bullock, in his annual message, eulogizes the Con? stitutional amendment, and recommends it- adoption hy the Legislature, lie ex? presses the earnest hope that Congress, liaving conceded to principle in the case of the District of Columbia, will complete tin- j work so auspiciously begun, by establish? ing universal suffrage as the irreversible law of tin- land. KENTUCKY. FINANCES.-The finan? cial condition of Kentucky, as it is reported by the papers of that State, is certainly very encouraging. The debt is said to be between $5,000,000 and 30,000,000. The State treastirv now holds between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. The Quartermaster General has just been notifieil that $700,000 have been made subject to his draft by the proper national authorities, and between $1,000.000 and $2,000,000 additional is expect? ed within a few weeks. Ther assets are therefore enough to liquidate all of the liabilities, and to enable the State to begin tho new year free from debt. The Russian Telegraph Line is progressing with gratifying success. A gentleman hythe name of George Kornau, formerly a telegraphic operator at Cleveland, and now in the employ of the Company in Siberia, writes that the fiei"ce tribes in that region are friendly to the unelertaking, that, the topography of that country is highly favorable to the construction, and that a resielence there is not so disagreeable as has been pictured. There has been an official inquiry into the kilting of private King, of the twenty-ninth infantry, by Lieu? tenant Egbert Olcutt, of the same re? giment, near Yorkteiwn, on the 11th instant, in wliieh Olcutt and two frientls were riding. The part}- in? sisted that King should allow a negro to act as driver, and his objections were quieted by a bullet through his head. The raport of the court of in? quiry is not yetpubiished.
