The Union, replying to the Intelligence: :'s recent criticism upon its temper towards Spzic, reviews, the Soule (Ostend papers) correspond- ence, to show that little reliance can reascn: bly be placed on the fact that Isabella’s gv ernment has agreed to settle the Black War. question on terms satisfactory tous. Tha a8 affording preof that she will satisfactoris; settle the other questions which we have |: abeyance with her. Summing up, the Unio mays: “The case, then, stands in this wise; ih Spanish government has agreed to accord in- dewnity for damages in the Black Warrior fair; but to every other question of diffic Or Of interest, she expresses the same stubvers purpose to refuse amicable aud satisfectory adjustments which has heretofore marked hi; course. When the Spanish minister made bi: reply to Mr Soule, on the 3lst of January | 1855, he hed already indicated a dixpositiv: to reconsider the Black Wa-rior case; he he then been in possession of Mr. Marey’s grea” argument nearly two mouths, but, go far froi indicating any disposition to make concessiot s to auy other causes, their justice, and , he emphaticaliy denic: | assares Mr Soule that no; Srrabgemest can te made for more dire-: | * Giplowatic reiations with Cuba. With ther: is before us, we see no reason to infer frox the settlement of the Black Warrior case the: Spanish policy will be more reasonable here- | acter than heretofere, and, under this convic } should regret to see our government ; -Tawiag any such inference, aud especially i sting upon it ina case so flagrantly inguit-! in that which occurred in iegard to the! mail steamer Ei Dorado. j “We do noi choose to comment upon the fact (hat the Spanish Government doggedly Tefused to come to a cettlement of the Black Warrior affair until after we ceased te have a minister at bercourt, If ic becomes necessa- ry. however. we shali not hesitate to discuss this feature in the transac:ion in the manner whieh seems proper to us, without caring to inquire whether we commit another offence inst “good taste,”’ “good manners,” and ‘vfficial ;ropriety."’ Itisenough for us at present to indicate the reagong which satisfy us that, in agreeing todo jastice in the Black Worrior case, the Spanish government ha: dons no wore than the force of Mr. Marcy's reasoning int case compelled her to do; as auses of complaint, we look for no change inher post policy. If we aro mistaken in this opinion, the early arrival of our new mivister at Madrid will furnish an op portunity for such manifestations of more rea- sonable counsels: and when such evidence is iurnished. we-h«li pot be slow to express cur Staificsiionai the results.” The Intelligencer cails on all its readers carefully to peruse the Ostend correspondence now in cuurse of publication in its columns; and bintsthatsome ninety odd members of tne recent Ken'ucky Democratic State conven tien were opposed to the resolu‘ions adopted, the ticket formed, aud the influences controll- ing the convention's counsels. The Sentena! publishes an exposure of the falsity of one of the New York ‘Srisune’s ne- gro-dog stories, showing that there is no such Paper in existence as the one from which the trisune profecsed to have taken the bug-a- bvo story in question.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Hotels.—One of the most remarkable fea- tures of our country is ite hotels. There are hardly any two in the United States, frequent- ed by Americans, which are alike. In Europe, however, there are for the most part but two classes of hotels—those for the entertainment of folks with pockets full of money, and those for the entertainment of the olass who care- fully stow away in their pockets the odd lump of sugar left of the quantity regularly sorved with the cup of coffee they have paid for. ‘They are all alike there. That is, each one, in the babicse and appearance of its habitues and employees, and in what transpires under its roof, is precisely like every other cne of its class Untravelled Americans will realize this fact, on turning over in their minds the habits and customs of houses of entertainment around them patronized exclusively by the foreign born, of which there are now more or less in every American city. New York, however, is really the city of hotels. Though its popu- lation ia so much less than that of London, we fancy that at all times more persons sleep nightly under hotel roofs in New York than in the mammoth trans-Atlantic metropdlis There can hardly be less than 100,000 strar- gers (nun-residents of the city) always in Naw York; as nearly every body who goes away trom home for business or pleasure takes New York in the way. In the St. Nicholas and Meiropolitan from 500 to 1,000 guests are always to be found, ohangiog, every man and woman of them, on an average as often as once & week. To an ou‘- sider like ourself, the scene therein preseat od of noise and confusion and variety, which is so bewildering to astranger, is momentarily esuusing, next suggestive of reflections upon the vastness of our country’s present and the still greater promise of its future; next again of the vanity of all things of this lifo—for vat is no less displayed in the piteous de- meanor of the mendicants loitering aroun! ihe portals of these housss, than in the seedy nabiliments of the class of decaying gentic- sign who frequent all American hotel sa//rs, and in the buoyant countenances of the re cently arrived strangers, as they emerge from the barber-shop of the house, after getting of (ceir traveling beards and coats of rail-car grit and dust—taking on instead an allowance vt Phalon’s last lotions. Wecanstand every thing in these immense caravansaries but their tables; not believing in the possibility of cooking well for half a hundred people in the same kitchen for ten successive days. They all do as well as can be done in that line, but an accession of one hundred guests more than are e:.pected at the moment, ‘ scants’’ every one in some favorite dish, insures the giving oat of cold victuals elsewhere than at the back door, and brings down any quantity of anath- emas from that hardest worked class in the world—hotel servants. : To our taste, the best hotel in New York is the “ Union Place Hotel,’’ kept by John and John H. Wheeler—the latter being no other than the member of Congress of that naine. It is of a class which is fast becoming popuiar with Amoricans who bare realized the solid comforts of the first clazs hotels on the otier side of the Atlantic—a house to accommodate not over two hundred guesis, half of whom have private tables, wherein money can pro- cure any and every thing that good taste, re. fiuement and we lth combined, may deeire. The *Clarendon’’ is another such house, fre- qaented, however, principally by Englishmen in such establishments everything is as quie: ttall times as in the private residence of avy gentiemanintbecountry. They are eschewed by the noisy, boisterous, and the splurging. as being wholly unsuited te their tastes and habits. Such tables as are found there are te be enjoyed in no-other elass of public houses in northern American cities; for ibe class of people frequent them principally, are in New York, not bent on making money, but on pending it. They think more of good eatiag an@ drinking than any others on this side ef the Atlantic, and to achieve their patronage it necessarily becomes the chief care of the Proprietors that their appointments for their comfort shall be unexceptionable. The Union Place Hotel is, to our taste, the model Ameri- ean house, The effects of the energy and ew- phasis of character on the part of the father and son, which sent the latter, hardly more than a youth in age, to the Congress of the United States, is visible in all the appointments aud arrangements of the eatablishment—sys- tem, order and oxactitude being at hand, turn which way the guest may. When Jno. H. Wheeler was first elected to Congress many of the newspapers sneered at the idea of placing insuch a position, a very young man, whose previous training had been behind the counter of a fashionable hotel. He proved, however, to bs a remarkably in- dustrious and attentive member, and soon ac- quired a knowledge of the datails of the real duties required of him in his now position, su- perior to that of most of his fellow members, as the records of the jast session's traneaction ot tona fide business chow. One has but to quietly observe for an hour the multifarious requirements made on the patience, the brain, and the decision of character of a manager of 4 first class hotel in this country, te appreciate the fact, that to be successful in that calling, one must possess faculties and habits of busi- ness fitting him to discharge weil, almost any line of duty to which a business man may be called in this country. The Overland Mail to the Pacific —A mis- apprehenzion exists in the public mind on ‘his subject, arising from Colonel Renton’s letter, Jately appearing in the newspapers. The route has merely been made a mail route. No direction has been given by Congress to estab- lish service upon it. It is the custom of the Department to advertise tar service on all new routes, and to let them, if in the judgment of the Postmaster General the lowest bid is not too high. That is, if it is not so high as to ex- ceed the probable benefit te accrue to the pub lic interest from running the mails over the particular route. Our hope is that io this case it may turn out that parties will offer to perform the service ata rate which the Post- master General will feel at liberty to pay; in- asmuch as we believe that a service upon that route will speedily result in settiewents-of frontiermen every twenty or thirty miles along that great line of emigration, which will in turn lessen the cost ef its protection one-half at least. An Interesting Letter.—We have before us ® manuscript letter from General Washington, which, we believe, has never yet been printed. It is full of interest at this time, because it is addreered to @ Catholio—to his Exceilenoy Thomes Sim Lee, then Governor of Maryland Its purpose waa to announce the surrender of Cornwallis, and to notify Governor Lee that a portion of the prisoners would be sent within his jurisdiction. Gov. Lee, by the-by, ad- ministered the trust reposed in him so satis- factorily that he was re-elected with great unanimity. It appears that Washington re- ognized and appreciated the fact that in “th times that tried mens souls,”’ none were more faithful to the Amorioan cause, and none moré Prompt in making sacrifices for it, than the people of Catholio Maryland : Camp near York, October, 1781. Dear Sir: Enclosed I have the honor of transmii to your Excellency the terms upon which Lord Cornwallis has surrendered tho garrisons of York and Gloucester. . We have net been able yet to get an account of prisoners, ordnance or stores in the depart ments, but from the best general report there will be (officers included» upwards of seven thousand men, besides seamen; more than seven poe of brass ordnance, and one hun- dred of iron, with their stores, as also other moveable articles. My present engagements will not allow me to add more than my cor- gratalation on this happy event, and to ex- press the high sense I haveof the powerful aid which I have derived from the State of Mary- land in com Abie Malco every request to the Executive of it. The prisoners will be divided between \\ inchester, in Virginia, and Freder- ick, in Ma yland. With every sentiment of the most perfect esteem and regard, I have the honor to be your Excellency’s most obedient servant, GxorGe WASHINGTON. Land Office Clerkships.—There seems to bo & great pressure on the Secretary of the Inte- rior and the Commissioner of the General Land Office for clerkships in this bureau Tais arises from @ general belief that the functions of the Land Department of the Gov- ernment, as connected with the new bounty land law, wili come into operation immediate. ly. Thisis not so. It will be some months before warrants issued under the new Jaw will bo in such condition as to cause the General Land Office to begin the extra labor which it is eventually to perform by and through the enactment of the law referred to. The additional clerks accorded to the Land Bureau, to enable its head to carry out the new bounty land law, are not to be appointed before the termination of this fiscal year, as they wore accorded in making appropriations for the service of the next fiscal year, which begins on the Ist of July next. .

The alarm soon spread, and the dolefal tones of our old fire- bell awoke the firemen to duty, Most of our aliant companies were speedily on their way & the Heros of action, but fortunately the flames were extinguished withuut their aid. A most distressing accident occurred upon the Washington turnpike lastevening. The coaches which connect with the evening train from Baltimore. were dashing full down the turnpike. When a few rods beyond Se- bastian Springs, Mr. Francis Weedon, an en- ergetic young driver in the employ of the Messrs.

[From the New York Ewvenin: Post, of yesterday.) Gol. Kinney and his Contrei American Plans. The famous Colone! Kinney, of Texan and Central American renown, is among the guests of the Metropolitan. Notwithstanding the re- ports so confidently made that he had aban- doned the project of colonizing the Mosquito country, the Colonel still maintains the deter- mination of fellowing. during the present month, the parties in his interest who have already left cur ports. According to his state. ment the story of the failure of the expedition arose from the fact that he has disconnectod himself from the Central a Company, and now purposes to carry the enterprise throu ‘bh on his own shoulders. At the conclusion of certain negotiations now pending, it is his design to take passage by a steamer from New York to the land of Promise. He will first stop at San Juan, where the people, at the last accounts, were anxiously awaiting his presence. The disturb- ances in the ngig berlag state of Nicaragua are rather proPitious for the arrival of Kinney and his pacific riflemen. Divtracted as the country is by the contest between the revolu- tionary party under Castillan and the con- servative property holders headed by Cho- morropthe sword of the Colonel would prob- ably turn the scale. In faet, we understand that Col. William F. Walker, the ex-President of Sonora, dis- gusted with his ill-suocess in founding an in- dependent government tor the lower Califor- nians is already in the field there with one hundred and fifty men under the banner of Castillan. This is prosounced the true pclicy for an enterprising young filibuster “just com- mencing business,’ for Castillan, having nu- thing to lose and everything to gain, will be sure, if successful, to confiscate the possessions of Chomorro and}divice them among his adbe- rents ’’ Col. Kinney, however, asserts that his ob- jeote are still peaceable and entirely consistent with the doctrines laid down in Secretary Marcy's letter to Marcoletta relative to the ex- pedition. Mis severance from the Central American Company, he thinks, so far from damaging him, only puts him a better footing for oarrying out his designs.

The Emperor Soulouque was appealed to. Mr. Knight, choosing to make it a national affair, and he directed it to be sent to the tribunal, where Messrs. Pouilh were sentenced to imprisonment for one mcnth and a fine of $25. The terms of the sentence were ren. dered, not from conviction, but through fear of the Government Mr. Knight represents It apveared in the progress of the trial, that Mr. Knight owed Messrs. Pouilh & Co., for borrowed money, and hence, in part, their indignation at the refusal of Mr Knight to sigo their ship papers without pay in advance. Lhe American merchants offered to inter- cede for tho release of the Messrs. Pouilh, but they insisted upon remaining in prison until the expiration of the sentence. ~- Ksow Norsixa Fevp.—Two Know Nothing organizations are said to exist in New York, snd are represented to be waging a fierce and uncompromising warfaré inst each other. That branch to which the epithet Hindoo is applied, and of which James W. Barker is the high priest, is said to be rapidly de creasing in numbors, in consequence of the inroad made upon it by the ctber branch, known as the Allen which claims to be the original, rejecting the practice of the Ilindoos in making ceparate nominations, and insisting upon its adherents voting for} them, and which may, we presume, be re- garded as a sort of terd:r to the Seward in. terests of t cate, ‘Che feud is waxing very warm, and tbe indications are they are about re-enacting the game of the Hard and Soft Shells of the so called Democracy.
