The Intelligencer publishes a communica tion taking strong grounds against the com- ments of the Unéon on the act of England in oding the 400-gun fleet off our coasts, and arguing te show that Victoria's government, n so doing, did nothing unusual or improper. The Uniow discusses the illegal efforts of Deitain to recruit in this country, and in the se of its article republishes much of the e\imony in the Hertz case, concerning which s up as follows ‘ “ There is, however, one conclusive answer retenoes of the inadequacy of the proof ( the public authorities of Great Bri- Four witnesses, © Strobel, Dr. s, Col.

New Book. We are indebted to Mr. Franck Taylor, bookseller, for a copy of the following work : Tez Curse or Currron. By Mrs. Emma D. EN thworth, author of ‘‘ The Deserted Wife; the Lost Heiress,’ &c. Philadel- phia B. Peterson, 102 Chest street. We believe this is the last new novel thrown f from the rapid pen and prolific brain og Mre. S., who is fairly coming to rival, even Alexonder Dumas, in the celerity with which books appear in print with her name attached to them. We need say little about the merits cf this volume, as its author has reached a point of fame as a writer of novels, that in- the perusal of all she indites for the ic, by nearly every novel reader in the land. However, we may remark that she has yet written nothing more universally praised by the press than this work. += PERSONAL. ---The ‘* Weekly Despateh,”’ Baltimore, the new firm—Wam. H, Gobright and J.

Extra Pay.—We know of no greater ex. ereseence growing up on the public service, than that of the interminable demands for “extra’’ compensation, which have been brought of late years sgainst this or that branch of the Government. In old times such an idea was unheard of, though now it seems to be taken for granted that Congress at least, will honor any draft whatever on the public purse, made under the plea of the performance of services in addition to those alleged by the applicant to appertain peculiarly to the par- ticular office or position, the duties of which he was originally employed to discharge. We are reminded of this fact by the plea set up in the letter of Donn Piatt, Esq., Ex-Secre- tary of Legation at Paris, to the conductors of the New York Times, referred to in our issue of Wednesday. In that, Mr. P. intimates that having been forced to actas Charge d’Af- faires during the illness of the chief of the Legation, his personal expenses were necessa- rily much greater than they would have been otherwise. To “a man up atree’’ that means that ho is coming to Congress with a claim for extra compensation for extra services so performed; more especially as he takes due care to re- mark that his predecessor in the Seeretary- ship of the Legation, was awarded $7,000 by Congress, for acting temporarily as a Charge @ Affaires. Without stopping to argue the question of the propriety of that action of the National Legislature, we may not inappropriately say that Mr. Sanford (the predecessor in question) acted as Charge when thero was no full minis- ter to France in commission Not so Mr. Piatt. During all the time the latter was in Paris, on behalf of the Government of the United States, Mr. Mason was the Minister, being duly paid as such, and being absent from his post only when his health was in o condition to force him to seek its improvement through flying trips to other parts of the coa- tinent. If he, (Mr. Piatt,) was a charge d’Af- faires; except by his own appointment, we are curious to know by whose authority he was commissioned; as the President certainly has no power, under the law, to appoint a Charge to a court at which this Government has a full minister accredited. Indeed, it was understood in Paris that when Mr. P. was playing Charge there, the Government took eceasion to disclaim his authority so to do; and that Mr. Minister Mason disclaimed ever having left him.in any such official position; or in any other than that of a plain Seoretary of Legation. We have no disposition whatever to diecuss the condition of Mr. Piatt’s accounts in Paris with which the newspapers in New York have been directly and indirectly busy of late, but we do not feel it incumbent on us to be equally as silent under the intimation in his letter, that he has a claim on the Government for extra services as a Charge d’Affaires. In truth, this whole system of extra allowances for nominal extra services is an extremely vicious one, and the sooner it is brought to an end, the better it will be for the future of every branch of the public service. A Verdict.—The verdict of the jury re- cently trying Judge Sidney H. Stuart, of the New York Criminal Court, will strike the mind of the country at large most painfully. The facts evolved in the course uf the progress ef the caso have produced a very general im- pression that he is a corrupt man—one utterly unfit to discharge duties such as those with which he is entrusted. We cannot conceive it possible that he will not be regarded hereafter as being quite as bad, morally, as the woman who was the principal witness against hin—a confessed companion of professional thieves, burglars, and other disreputable people. Le was acquitted because, while it was satisfac- torily proved that he received $500 from her, (as she alleges,) for procuring a nol. pros. of the indictment fora burglary, hanging ovcr her husband in the court over which he (Stuart) presided, it might possibly be that he received it as a loan rather than a bribe—her testimony on that point (with reference to the consideration for the payment) being unsup- ported. There is no question as to the illegality and gross impropriety of the steps he took to get the indictment quashed, or with reference to his long and close intimacy with the disre- putable wituess above referred to. The jury coupled with their strange verdict of “ not guilty” under the circumstances, a proviso that reminds us strongly of the verdict of the Arkansas jury trying the horse thief—‘ not guilty, provided he leaves the State.”’ They pronounce that he has been guilty of gross ir- regularities and improprieties in the discharge of his official duties, and on that account re- commend him to resign; which advice, we already learn from New York, he has not the least idea of following. We question whether the public functionaries of any country or city that ever existed were more corrupt than those of New York are at this time; if one may fairly draw conclusions from the testimony brought out on this trial, and the action of the grand jury in several very similar cases. Mr. Secretary Dobbin —We are satisfied that there is no truth in the accounts in Wash- ington correspondence to the New York pa pers, saying that this gentleman designs re- signing bis position in the Cabinet. It is well known that he has for some time been a sufferer from a bronchial affection. Though now evidently in better health than he enjoyed some months ago, his friends are desirous that he shall spend a portion, at least, of the approaching winter, in a more genial (Southern) clime. We trust that, yield- ing to their persuasions, he will make such a visit to Florida or elsewhere in the South. It is understood among Mr. D.’s personal friend » that some time since, it was his desire to re- tire from office on account of his health; but they (his friends) insisted that he should not leave the Cabinet if it were possible for him to continue the discharge of his official duties. The recent improvement in his health, and the opinion of his physicians that but a bricf relaxation from the labors of his office, is ne- cessary in his case, have, we hope, when added to the reason stated above, induced him to abandon the idea of resigning. We gather these facts from what seems to be understood among Mr. D.’s personal friends in Washington, bs Electioneering.—The principal points in Washington for the gathering of our transient population, already wear @ very animated ap- pearance nightly. The candidates for office under the House, or such of them as ase at this time in this city, attend there daily to members who have arrived, and with the vet- erangof the “lobby,” many of whom come of the opening of a new Congress. Though, sofar, buta small number of mem- bers are here, it is very evident that there is to bea legion of Candidates for everything. Even the Democrats, who as a party seem to have so poor a show for getting anything in the distribution or scramble, are about to have almost an army of aspirants for every- thing. No better illustration of the mania for office raging in the land, is necessary than oan bedrawn from quiet observation in such places between this time and the advent of the inevitable and important first Monday of the next month. The Mexican Drafte.—As it strikes us that there is much in the following brief extract, which we make from a late number of the New York Times, we give)it to our readers, with our belief that it embraces the key or turning point of the question in issue, with reference to the payment of the drafts by this Government: ‘So far as these drafts are concerned, the only question in regard to their bar is one a fact. If they were drawn by Santa Anna while he was President, they were, to all intents and purposes, the drafts of the Mexican Government,—and their payment must, end undoubtedly will, be enforced. If they were drawn by him a/ter his flight, he had no more authority todraw them than any other person: and if, by ante-dating them, or by any other false pretext, such as would send an ordinary criminal to State Prison, he induced Ameri- cans or others to advance money upon thew, we do not see how either the Mexican Guy- ernment or our own can be held responsible for their loss. Caveat emptor 1s clearly the injunction they were required to observe. “When this fact shall have been de- beer the whole case will have been de- cM . Nathan Sargent, Esq.—We hear that this gentleman, who has been 80 often spoken of in connection with the Clerkship of the House in past years, has beon adopted for Clerk by the little clique who are represented in the man- agement of the Know Nothing newspaper in this city. We are informed, also, that John Wilson, Ezq., of this city, ex-Commissioner of the General Land Office, and whilom a can- didate for the Clerkship, declines in Mr. Sar- gent’s favor. We have uot heard whether Mr. Robert W. Latham, late of the firm of Selden, Withers & Co., of this city, also waives his claims to that position in Mr. Sargent’s favor. * In view of the fact that Mr. Sargent has beon @ standing quasi-anti-slavery candidate for House offices fur many years past, and al- ways the recipient of very few votes, however brilliant his “show’’ may have been before the ballotings began, we do not apprehend that he will be elected to the Clerkship of the next House by a very large majority. Ex-Collector Hammond's Accounts.—Por- ceiving in Washington correspondence of Northern journals, allegations that the bal- ance due from Mr. Hammond, the late collec- tor of the port of San Francisco, is enormously large, we have to say, that as yet his affairs with the Government are wholly unadjusted, as he has not presented his offsets to the sums with which ho stands charged. The latter will probably reach $350,000. Yet it is by n, means impossible that when his accounts for disbursements on Government accouat are duly filed, he will not stand indebted to the Treasury in any considerable sum whatever. So far, no suit has been ordered against him ; nor, as far as we can learn, does there seem to exist at this point an apprehension that it may ultimately be necessary to close his ac- counts by suit. Facts in Natural History—An expc- rienced frontier friend, who has resided for some years past on the Pacific slope, tells us that there are neither wild turkeys nor bees in California; that buffaloes have never pen- etrated west of the Rocky Mountains; and that horses in California are capable of tray- eling much farther, without fatigue, in a given number of hours, than the same animals could travel when in the eastern (Mississippi valley and Atlantic slope) States. More Candidates —We hear that Mr. Rt. W. Varden, late of Hampshire sounty, Va., but more recently a clerk in an executive de- partment here, is a candidate for the place of postmaster of the House of Representatives; and that the members have received a circu- lar from a Mr. Cunningham, an Ohio Repub- lican, announcing him to be a candidate for the doorkeepship. Death of an Army Officer.—The War De- partment was to-day notified of the death of second lieutenant Waterman Palmer, Jr., of the first artillery, who died at Fort Moultrie, Charleston Harbor, 8. C., on the 18th inst. The Current Operations of the Treasury De- partment.—On yesterday, 221 November, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks.... $31,853 86 For the Treasury Department. 500 57 Por the Interior Department 6,758 19 Forthe Customs..... 47,417 15 War Warrants Me poke 5,696 31 ‘ar re} ente! “ype be 5,386 31 On account of the Na 6,566 00 Covered in from miscell. Vonuntary Ratcry or an Escarep Cox vict.—About eight o’clock on Wednesday night, the front bell of the Maryland Peniten- tiary was rung, whereupon the officer of the night, Mr. Carsey, went to the gate, and there saw two men standing outside, asking admis- sien. One of them was Joshua Reed, a con- viet condemned about three months since to three years’ imprisonment, on a tp of robbe: The other was his professed friend, Samuel Benjamin, not unknown to police an- nals. Mr. Carsey promptly gavethem a hear- ing, wherein Reed gave himself up voluntarily &s an escaped convict, whilst Benjamin attest- ed the fact, disclaiming at the same time the least intention of demanding the reward of $200 which had been offered for his capture. Reed states that when he broke out of the Maryland pacers rs he took the cars and succeeded in getting a considerable distance from the city without detection, and that he had fully intended to return to Baltimore in company with the Cincinnati officer who re- mem | him, but for the fact that hedesired to deliver himself up, in order fo save the warden, Mr. Merrymap, the amount of the reward which had ‘offered for his capture.

ABRIVAL OF THE STEAMER CANADA. The steamer Canada arrived at Halifax yesterday afternoon, with one weck’s later news from Europe, brsnging Liverpool dates to the 10th inst. The excitement in England respecting a war with the United States has quite subsided. The leading journals ate ed of the panic, and apeattempting to excuse it and let them- selves gently owe by erecta} the pre- tended hostile attitude of the U: States to an election ruse on the of the President and his Cabinet. Intelligent Englishmen of all ranks express themselves pained and hu- miliated by the whole affair. Th fa bette uber pheropol ¢ rumors of a battle near Simpheropo ag stab “ a ig eee hat th atches from tl e Russian projectiles reach chaut orecy spot in the city, and that a desultory fire was kept up on both sides. The Allies say that the Russians are making preparations for a retreat. Gen. Levaillant has been appointed French Governor of Sebastopol, Gen. Campbell taking offence at the appointment. Gen. Codrington asks leave to return. The French troops are to garrison Kinburn, and the English have returned to Sebastopol. On the 3d a French force from Eupatoria, on a reconnoisance, fellin with a large body of Russians, and offered them battle; but the Russians retired after exchanging a few rounds of artillery. The French afterwards burnt several towns and villages on their route, and returned to Eupatoria. Odessa advices say that Gen. Todleben is fast making Nicolaieff defensible. It is re- ported that Odessa will be dismantled, and the guns sent to Nicolaieff. Gen. Luders is posted between Kinburn and Cherson. The Czar had returned direct to St. Poters- burgh frem Nicolaieff. It was reported from Odessa that the Allies had effected a landing near Perekop, and that the Russians were hastening te oppose them ; but the report was doubted. St. Petersburg despatches say that the Rus- sian Crimean is provisioned for eight months, anda Vienna paper says that the Russian strength now in the Crimea is two hundred thousand. Omer Pacha, in Asia, has opened friendly relations with Schamyl. Selim Pachais to be stationed at Erzeroum with the imporial guard, from whence he would threaten the rear of the Russians besieging Kars Omer Pacha commenced to march on Kurtai on the 20th, with twenty-two battalions. Advices from Persia mention the departure of Ambassadors for St. Petersburg. THE LATEST. A telegraphic despatch dated at Vienna on the 9th instant s¢ys: “ Despatches received at the Turkish embassy state that the bom- bardment of Nicolaieff commenced on the 29th October, and continued throaghout the whole of the following day. The result is not known.”’ Advices from Russia show a more warlike feeling. RUMORED DISPOSITION FOR PEACE It is rumored that Russia accepts the office of mediator between Denmark and the United States. Gen Canrobert is now at Stockholm, charged with the commission of bringing Sweden into the alliance against Russia. Sweden is re- quired to either assent or to reject the propo- sition definitely. It was reported from Berlin that Russia had recently made a confidential-communication to Prussia and Austria of her wish to renew negotiations, and that General Bourqueney had returned to Vienna with fresh instruc- tions to meet the contingency of proposals for Russia. It was further reported that Prince Gortschakoff and diplomatists and from Vien- na and ministers from the other German courts are certainly to meet the Czar at War- saw in the middlo of November, when the question cf renewal of negotiations will be settled. It is also stated that the Emperor of France is favorable to further efforts to obtain peace. A French camp of 50,000 men is being form- ed in Silistria. FRANCE. Another false report has been circulated of an attempt to assassinate the Emperor. The monthly statement of the Bank of France is stated to ke not of an unfavorable character in general, though it shows a diminution of £1,000,000. Its notes in circulation have been largely reduced. SPAIN. Unfriendly relations are arising between Spain and England, partly in relation to the ease of Mr. Boylan, a British subject, who was expelled from Cuba notwithstanding an agree- ment on the part of Spain to submit his rievances to the arbitration of the British ‘onsul at New Orleans. Great Britain de- mands indemnity for Boylan’s losses. ITALY. The misunderstanding between Sardinia and and Tuscany still remains unsettled. A cor- tespondent of the London Morning Post says there is no doubt that a revolutionary move- ment has broken out in Sicily, and that sever- al of the insurgents have been captured and shot Arrests have also been made at Paler- mo. THE MARKETS. Liverrvor, Nov. 10.—Cotton is active, ow- ing to a scarcity of current qualities, and an advance of jd. has been fully established on some descriptions. Sales of the week 77,000 bales, nearly one-third of which was for spec- ulation and export. Breadstuffs generally have advanced, and all descriptionsclosed active. Flourshas advanced 1s ; wheat 3d.; corn 23. 6d. Provisions are unchanged. Sugars have considerably ad- vanced. Money is easier. Consuls 88] for money. The business in American stocks was limited. Virginia 5’s 84085; Maryland sterling 91a93. A telegraphic oe dated at London this morning states that the corn market is very firm, and that flour and wheat have ad- vanced at Paris. ——_~- ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE. - ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 23, 1855. The investigation into the causes of the re- cent calamity, is yet in progrese, but will probably terminate to-day. Our City Councils met on the night of Wed- nesday The Board of Aldermen receded from its former action in regard to the Alex- andria and Washington Railroad, and passed a resolution authorizing a vote of the people upon admitting the into either St. Asaph, Columbus or Alfred streets. The Lower Board refused to Sones 7, noes 3—and a com- mittee of conference being appointed, reported substantially the same resolution, which this time passed the Lower Board—ayes 9, noes I— but was lost in the upper—ayes 4, noes 3. This municipal phenomenon is certainly eu- rious. The poor road seems fated to a shuttlecock for municipal battledores. Other matters of minor moment were acted upon. The Committee on the Monument and Relief fund are busy at their work, and the list is swelling daily. A grand sacred music concert from the united choirs of our churehes, would add largely to the fund, and net be inappro- priate io the purpose. The Mount Vernon Guards, Capt. Ashby, have resolved gr eae on Monday, at which time, we learn, they purpose to visit the Na- tional Metropolis. Last night our engines were called out by a false alarm. This g should be nipped in the bud. Mt. The commissioners of emigration (says the New York Mirror) met on Wednesday.
