The circulation of this cheap and reliable weekly continues to increase, as its true character is understood. Wherever a specimen copy finds its way, sub- seribers are added to our list. ——_—__-+ «re - — _- SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer bas a ponderous and care- fully elaborated article on the Central Amer- ican question, which somewhat resembles Sir Walter Seott’s definition of a lady's letter— the cream of the matter lies in the “ post- seript,”’ which admits that : ‘No formal proposition was received by our Government from Great Britain until very recently. Lord Clarendon had informally mentioned this mode of settlement in several conversations with Mr Buchanan—the first dating back fifteen months ago—but he had not made any official communication to the Government of the United States to that effect. Mr. Crampton, it appears, had been instructed to make such ap offer as far back az November last, but, from an oversight, did not make a formal submission of the wishes of bis Government until the 27th of the month just closed.” The Union concludes the publication of the correspondence on the “ Enlistment question,’ and remarks: ‘* This correspondence is marked by gree of ability on the part of our Se of State and minister to England which seldom been equalied It will be read with pride by every true friend of bis country, not only because of the superior talents dizplayed by two of our greatest statesmen, but because it will satisfy every unprejudiced mind, whether in America or England, that we have justice and right on our side. The pre- tence put forth by Lord Clarendon, that his government bss made sufficient atonement for the prong dene to our honor in the violation Li British officials of our neutrality laws and of our — of sovereignty. is utterly explo- ded by the official record. We were surprised a few;days ago to hear Mr. Crittenden, and yesterday Mr. Seward. undertake to maintain that there was some plausible ground for the assertion of Lord Clarendon ere Was some little excuse for Mr. Crittenden, as ho spoke without having seen the correspondence ; but Mr. Seward spoke with the record before him, and went s0 far as to quote the language, which he construed to be a sufficient a; logy. As was most forcibly said by Messrs. Pearce, and Stewart, and Mason, this language is so far from roy an apology. that it rather ag- gravates the injury. The reader will find an ee an of this debate in another column hilst it was going on, and whilst Mr. Seward was making his lame defence of Lord Clarendon and Mr. Crampton, we could not help supposing that a portion of his em- barrassment was owing to the fact that Mr. Crampton wasseated behind him. This fact, however, had no influence on thejother Sena- tors, who replied to and repudiated his posi- tions.”” ———- WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssiP. The Eighth Reception.—“ There will be noone atthe White House this evening,” oracularly remarked Col. Grumbler at his yesterday's tea-table. ‘‘ Have not the bells of St. Matthew's and St. John’s admonished the faithful thatit is Lent? Are not the fashionables jaded with Mrs. D.’sparty last night, and the transient belles equally fatigued after their hotel hop? Are not the officials Weary with the nocturnal preparation of de- spatches? Is there not a political gathering of the Philadelphia men? Is there not a Con- gressional Temperance meeting at the Smith- sonian, where Gough will act inimitably in comedy and tragedy at twenty-five cents a ticket? And, above all, Mrs. Grumbler, is there not an attractive spectacle at the theatre, when the mirth-provoking Jefferson has a benefit, and appears after the pageant in ‘Tom and Jerry?’ Ah! my dear madame, there will be no one at the White House.’’ But Mrs. itrumbler knew better. She had heard stran- gers and citizens alike express their delight at the preceding seven receptions by our Chief Magistrate, and she determined that she would go Need we say that she pip 60, and she informed us (confidentially) that she was delighted at finding the Colonel’s piedic- tion completely falsified, while her own expec- tations were more than realised by the glorious realities atthe gay scene. Whatever might have been the gatherings elsewhere, no recep- tion has been graced by 2 more attractive display of talent, grace and beauty. it was the twenty-ninth of February—that mystic anniversary which only comes once in four years, and the ladies were, of course, «monarchs of allthey surveyed.” Nay, some thought it would be well for them to escort the gentlemen, and our readers will remem- ber that we made a semi-promise to cbronicle the costume and bearing of the sterner sex. It could be easily done, as the juvenile Franklin proposed thet his father should ask a blessing for every dinner through the winter, by a wholesale supplication over the fall supply of pork! Blearly every Mr —— present wore black suit of bread-cloth, cut more or less a 4a@ mode ; boots of a greater or less degree of polish ; a dickey of some grade, and a display of jewelry in sccordance with his taste. There our fair correspondent has it, with a few yari- ations in the shape of ‘ brass coats with blue buttons,”’ the gorgeous Swedish uniform of Major Monk, the plainer official costumes of Capt. French Forrest, U. S. N., and of Major Almy, U. S.A, and, miserable dictu, afew feeble attempts at quizzing-glass exctusive- Bess. Prominent among the notable gentlemen present was Gen. Davis, the Secretary of War, who looks like a stripling at a distance, though on approaching, one sees that deeply indented lines of time and of thought furrow his pleasant countenance. Gen. Quitman, from the same warm-hearted State of Missis- sippi, has a fine, true-hearted expression, to which his time-frosted hair and patriarchal beard lends additional dignity. In the dig- nified, collected manner of Gen James, of Rhode Island, one can trace the workings of a mind intimately acquainted with the rami- fications of manufacturing and commercial operations Gen. Houston, of Texas, ever the object of attention, did not seem dispirited by the Waterloo finale at Philadelphia. Gen. “Churchill, of the regular service, “ wears the marks of many years well spent.”” Gen. Jones, of Tennessee, a Senator of excellent judgment and constant application, is always ‘at home’’ among the beauty and fashion of our saloons. Gen, Webb, of New York, that Nestor among the outside editors here, has an energetic look, with a dash of truculence. Gen. Le Roy, of Ohio, was a fine representa- tive of conservative Democracy. And with this genera‘ glance we will ‘ pass” to the more agreeable task of making brief mention of the ladies. The queen-like Mrs. Bailey, of Louisiana, (eseorted by Col. Samuel Reid of the same State) was the object of marked attention, as the grand-daughter of Patrick Henry, and the wearer of a magnificent Pompadour dress of white silk, with flowing flounces skilfully em- broidered in flowers and gold, pearl and dia- mond ornaments. Mrs. Senator Thomson, of New Jersey, wore a distingue white dress, trimmed with black. Mrs. Senator Fitzpat- tick, of Alabama, and Mrs. Benson, appeared to great advantage in dark velvet, ever cal- culated to set off ripened beauty. Mrs. Wil lard, of this city, looked beautifully in pink silk, and the potent d’ Alencon worn by Mrs. Wolcott, of New York, was calculated to in- spire covetousness in female hearts. Unob- trusive, yet not unnoticed, was the lady of the Hon. Mr. Campbell, of Pa., who has con- tributed to the poetry of our land, and the diplomatic corps had reason te be proud of the fair representation of the Legations here who graced the scene. Mrz. Pope and Mrs. Coke, with the fasci” nating Miss Guthrie, formed a group which attracted many gentlemen. Miss Fish, the stately beauty of the Empire State, in white, with charming bouquets, was monopolized in the promenade by Mr. Clingman, the distin- guished Representative from North Carolina, who is as popular among the fair sex as he is in'the Capitol. The dark-eyed Miss Mechlin, in becoming blue, was prominent among the — and many merited compliments were paid to Miss Molly Bodenheimer, of New York, and Miss Jennie Story, of Indiana. Miss Betty Hams, of Louisiana, wore a pat- tern flounced pink silk, fitted with artistic elegance, and matched by acharming cotffvre. Miss Marcy, in white, with blue trimmings, was much admired, as was Miss Hall, of New York, also in white, with exquisite bouquets. Miss James, of Rhode Island, in a straw-col- ored silk, and Miss Faulkner, of Virginia, ia a tulle of the same color, (the uppor skirt cut in deep points) were fine representatives of their respective States. The Misses Dela- roche from Georgetown; the Misses Parker and Miss Washington of this city; Miss Ebbitt of New York; Miss O'Donnel, Miss Snow- den and Miss Tyler, of Maryland; Miss Saw- yer of Mainc; Miss Scott of Arkansa:; Miss “Wells of Connecticut, and a legion of other young ladies were present, fascinating the beaux—aye, and some of the men mortgaged by Hymen. One fair creature was especially attractive— ‘« There’s a madeap devil in her eye And a lavgh on her rosy lips ‘That are sweeter than Hybia’ 's honey,— Wenld * We’ were the bee that sips. She has just the pertest ex; ion That a face can very well wear,— A kind of a ‘ kiss if you dare’ look And of course you’re inclined to ‘ dare.’ ”’ Some of the Beecher family were present, evidently forgetful for the nonce that ‘ Bro- boola Gha’’ exists, and there were quite a number of foreigners, to whom the scene—so different fiom the receptions of their Chief Magistrates—seemed a wonder. The Marine Band preformed national and operatic music, and as Col. Grumbler handed his lady to the earriage, he was forced to express his delight that he had attended the eighth reception. “TI told you #0,” said she. Tho Virginia Democratic State Conven- tion.—The editor of the Star attended the Virginia State Democratic Convention at Rich- mond, which closes its labors to-night. We were also a delegate at the last similar gath- ering before a Presidential election, and a spectator of that held in 1844. This was much the largest of the three, about 650 delegates in all being inattendance. Shelton F. Leake is the President, and the venerable Generals Gordon of Albemarle, and Rust of Loudoun, the first and second Vice Presidents. All the editors of Democratic papers published in the State, who are present, are secretaries. The spirit characterizing the convention is every- thing thatthe most ardent member of the Democratic party could desire. There was great unamity of sentiment against any action on the part of the body in the way of indica- ting any preference whatever for the nomina- tion of any particular aspirant for the favor of the Democratic convention to assemble at Cinesnnati in June next. The business call- ing them together was to select electors, and aseistant and county electors, and to express the views and position of the party of the State, upon the leading political issues of the day. We were compelled by our business engage- ments to leave before the platform-resolutions were reported, but not before satisfying our- self thoroughly that the almost unanimous wish of the monster convention was that they should be of the kind that would make it cer- tain that Virginia will continue to exert, in Natioual Democratie Conventions, the great influence conservative of true republican prin- ciples, for which she has been so renowned up to this time. It did our heart good to hear the time-hon- ored fathers of the Democratic party of the Old Dominion talk of the present National Democratic Administration—of its fidelity to the tenets of Thomas Jefferson it was elected to carry out; and of the obligation resting on al! who value those principles above all price, to raise their voices in praise of that fidelity. We spent an hour ia the room of the vener- able General Gordon, of Albemarle—the sage and the statesman of times past, who, in ap- pearance, may fairly be styled the last of the cavaliers—and heard him depict, as few others can, (for his remarkable conversational pow- ers, like good wine, seem to improve with age,) the dangers threatening the continuance of the Confederacy, and the debt of gratitude which all lovers of the Union, as made by our fathers, owe to the present Chief Magistrate for his efforts to arrest them. All the Virginia delegates to the National Convention are to be elected by district con- ventions; and we are very sure, from the signa at the State Convention, on which we have been commenting, that they will all go to Cincinnati without instructions, and pledged to preserve the ancient political influence, honor, and good faith of the venerated Com- monwealth, by seeking to compass the nomina- tion of the strongest sound statesman whose name may be before the aggregated represen- tation of the Democracy of the Union. Cheek.—Our talented, ingenuous and truth- ful neighbor is “ great on’’ facts, decidedly. This is evident in the boldness with which it insinuates that the very excellent bill recent- ly introduced by the Hon. Mr. Meacham, of Vermont, into the House, for secnring to all citizens of Washington their rights as voters, now guarantied by law, out of which Know Nothing commissioners of election. defrauded so many of their opponents at our Jast muni- cipal election, proposes to enfranchise classes of persons who are not at this moment fully entitled to the suffrage. The Circuit Court of the United States for this district, have fally and solemnly affirmed the right of all foreign-born citizens of Wash- ington, who have resided here one year prior to the election, to vote, but the Know Nothing commissioners, at the last election, flagrantly set at defiance that decision. This bill pro- poses, in this connection, to compel such com- missioners to respect the law and the civil rights of their opponents, it matters not whe- ther partizan attorneys counsel them that the court has no power in the present condition of our judiciary system to enforce its judgements in such a case or not. The other features of the bill provide more polling places than now exist, and that the polls shall be kept open a sufficient time at all of them; so as that, hereafter, the windowssball not be closed, a8 in June last, in the fage of hundreds of voters of one party anxious to deposit their yotes, when all those of the other party have been got in by a secret pre-arrange- ment by which their bullies crowded away from the polls quiet citizens on whose favor for their cause they coulf not calculate. The House Chaplain.—-The venerable Daniel Waldo, Chaplain elect of the House has arrived in this city, and will commence his duties on M onday. Before leaving Syra- cuse, N. Y., he was met at the residence of Gen. Granger by a number of citizens, whe congratulated him on his election, and accom- panied him tothe cara. The Journaé of that city furnishes the following biographical sketch of this veteran soldier of the cross and of the sword : “Rev. Daniel Waldo was born at Winiham, Connecticut, Sept. 10th, 1762. He was drafted for the revolutionary struggle at sixteen. In 1779 he enlisted for eight months in the service of the State; was taken prisoner, at Horse- neck, where he escaped immediate death, as if by a providential interposition. From thence he was taken to New York and con- fined for two months in the Sugar House. At the same period his father and three brothers were in the ranks of the American army, bat- tling the invading foe, denouncing tyrants, defending liberty. : ‘« After peace was declared, he renewed his studies, and in 1784 entered upon his collegiate course at Yule College. In 1789 he entered the ministry, was settled at West Scoffield, and remained there eighteen years, from 1791. For the next four years his time was devided between preaching at Cambridgeport and adjacent congregations, and service for the Society for the promotion of Christian knowl- edge. Bin the war of 1812 he was chaplain to Col. Belcher’s regiment at Groton. Soon afterthis he was settled at East Greenwich with mis- sionary duties, and remained there nine years; was then one year at Harvord, Mass, from whence he was called to Exeter, Lebanon, Conn., where he remained twelve years. For the last twenty years he has resided in this State with his son E. B. Waldo. “(In this brief narrative of dates and of facts it is seen that liberty dawned upon his path- way, and illumined the morning of his life— that religion flooded his soul and brightened bis toi while patriotism consecrated his du- ties. His private life has been dignified and full of virtues; temperate in everything, blessed with a calmness of disposition never ruffied bystorm. With a constitution which has borne him through ninetg-three winters without disease, he stands to-day a patriarch amid the grandsons of his youthful friends, the minister of a religion he has dignified for three quarters of a century, and the apostle of a constitutional liberty he helped to achieve, and which he has never betrayed. ‘Thus in the noble dignity of pious deeds, this silver crowned and venerable man, who labored in the birth of our country’s cause, and stood by at the baptismal christening of our constitutional existence, has come at last, as if preserved by the providence and called by the voice of God, to implore the blessings and beseech the wisdom of Heaven to preside over the Councils of our nation. A Naval Officer Dead —The Navy Depart- ment have advices of the death of Dr. William P.C. Barton, late the senior surgeon in the United States Navy, who died yesterday in Philadelphia.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, a short time was spent in Executive session, and then they adjourned until Mon- day. EP We have received from Holt Wilson, Esq., Treasurer of the Relief Association of Portsmouth, Va., a list of the names of those persons whose burial expenses were paid by the association during the terrible epidemic in that town last summer and fall, comprising a total of five hundred and ninety-eight per- sons, at a cost of $7,774. Ea A silly report has been spread abroad that there is yellow fever in Norfolk. We Suppose (says the Argus) we must contradict it; though the idea of such a disease preyail- ing in winter is ridiculous. The city is re- markably healthy. Tae Streamer Paciric.—A dispatch from Halifex received ye sterday afternoon, states that passengers by the steamer America re- port having on Tuesday, February 19, seen a Collins steamship heading towards the Eng- lish channel with @ signal of distress flying The vessel seen probably is the missing steamer Pacific returning. The Baltic ar- rived out on the 13th ult , so that the Pacific is the only Collins steamer which could have been in that locality at the time specified. Mr. Collins is quite confident in regard to the safety of the Pacific, and anticipates to hear of her arrival on the other side by the steamer Baltic, due at New York on Monday. re Semi iain. _ Novet Peririo: in the New York last week, by Mr. Mehan, from the citizens of One! ida, to make the Lord’s Prayer the only legal prayer to be used by clergymen, on account of its brevity, ‘held THIS EVENING at the City Hall, at 74 GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. ~ @uongxtown, March 1, 1856 The public spirit manifested by the Legis- lature of Maryland, in granting to the friends of the Metropolitan Railroad all they asked for in their memorial, has infused into the advocates of this great and important public improvement a degree of confidence in its final completion never heretofore entertained by them. The people of Montgomery county, we learn, are becoming thoroughly aroused to its vital importance to them as an agricultu- ral community, and will, doubtless, largel, inerease the present subscription to its capital Our newly elected city councils will be in- stalled into office on next Monday evening. We think it more than likely, that during the present ed much business of vital impor- tance will come before them for consideration. Many reforms are actually n in our municipal regulations. The amount of talent, ability and experience in the members elect, is sufficient to satisfy every one that the af- fairs of our corporation, so far as the legisla- tion is concerned, will be conducted in a manner best caloulated to promote the general weal. J. M. Kilgour, Esq., of Maryland, will de- liver, on next Monday evening, in the Metho- dist church, (Dumbarton street,) a lecture, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the eause of education. His snbject will be the ‘Mission of woman in America.’’ Mr. K. is represented to be (by those who have heard him.) a very pleasing speaker; and as his subject is one of no ordinary interest, the ladies especially would do well to go and hear him. Some of our most prominent citizens are talking of getting up a kind of Savings Banks for the special benefit of the r. Ail per- sons who choose, poor and rich male and fe- male, will be allowed to deposit weekly a sum not less than ten cents per week during the milder seasons of the year, which is to constitute a fund for the epecial benefit of the needy during the winter season. The President of the Female Union Beney- olent Society acknowledges the receipt (from Col. Thomas) of $86 83, kindly contributed by the congregation of St. John’s Church for the relief of the poor; also, of Mr. Mayfield $34.87 contributed by the members of Bridge street Presbyterian church for the same pur- pose. Our barbor is still blocked up hard and fast by the ice. We have heard some talk among some of our merchants to try to obtain the services of the Powhatan to make a smash The offerings of beef cattle at Drover’s Rest yesterday amounted to 200 head, all of which was purchased by District butchers at $3 50a $5 2 on the hoof, equal to $7a$10.50 net. Sheep, quality very inferior, selling at $3.75 a$5 per 400 lbs. gross. There is but little doing in the flour or grain market. The former is nominally at $7, sales confined entirely to the retail trade. Holders do not appear anxious to operate on anything like an extensive scale.
