The Intelligencer says, in introducing an article from “The Extraordinary,” & paper published in English at the city of Mexico, and generally understood to represent Amer joan jnterest there— “*The public journals have for some time past been favored with out-givings as to cer- tain Treaties said to have been agreed upon by the American Minister in Mexico and the proper authorities of that Republic. No au- thenticated exposition of the provisions of these Treaties having yet been laid before the American public, we give our readers the ben- efit of the information contai i subjoined articles, copied from of the “‘ Mexican Extraordinary,’ anewspapr —_— io English at the capital of Mexico. rom the developments made in these articles the reader will learn that fire Treaties, affect- ing especially the commercial relations of the two countries, have been negotiated by the American Minister. Whether they wiil be | enemy for the udvice of the Senate of the nited States is a question to be decided by the Executive, who may deem some of the Propositions contained in them to be of so ex- traordinary a character az not to require the Serious consideration of the Senate.” The Union discusses local zelf-government; and regards the decision of the Supreme Court as likely to prove a final cettlement of the slavery question, despite the anticipated efforts of Kepublicen partyisn to the contrary. ——q—- ee __ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Progress.—In matters of steam, electricity, &c., &c., with which all the mobile world are * necessarily aimost constantly thrown in eon- tact, the newspapers are ever watchful to ehronicle every step in the march of improve- ment; insomuch as they immediately interest those who are commonly regarded as the newspaper readers cf the day. We mean the inhabitants of the cities ; and we here refer to the city press, for the issue of a single daily journal of considerable circulation rarely fails to be tentoid that of any country paper print- ed within fifty miles of it. Yet in the depart- mont ©f agriculture, in the progress of whica our ccuntry is far more interested than in that of any cther bracch whatsoever of American industry, the city press takes little interest, indeed. Still, within the last ten years, as fast 3 our country has improved in the matter of the disccvery and perfection of new methods and modes applicable to the arts which save Isbor and reduze cost, we question much whether cur progress in this respect has been 80 sure and fo swift as in the reduction of the labor required in the business of agriculture to produce a desired result and to accomplish desired ends -more certainly than was previe ously possible. Such reflections forced them- selves upon our mind yesterday afternoon, in sauctering through the Mechanics’ Insti- tute Fair, where we noticed three articles on exhibition, which, though attracting apparent- ly slight attention, are in their results by long odds the most important things to be seen there. We refer to those “entered” by the already celebrated house of Hedges, Meckbee &Co., of Philadelphia—the “Little Giant’’ Corn and Cob Crusher, Invented bya Mr Scot: some years ago, and Hedges’ feed boiler, and his will for compressing the juice from Chineze suger cane. Our limits will not permit us to go into the minute description of these erticles we should like to present to the Star’s readers. So, we can only speak of their effects on the interests of society up to this time, and what is surely destined to be their future effects. The ‘Little Giant” bas been known to the agricultural world for come few years past as the machine that bas demonstrated, past any present de- nial, that the farmer has in his corn-cobs food for his stock wortn quite onc-third its weight in clear Indian corn grain. Or, in other words, it bas secured, for all the farmers of the United States the means of feeding prop. erly one-third more stock, with the same ag- gregate of production by their respective farm, than up toitsinvention. That is, sofar as feeding on Indian corn isconcerned. It must be remembered that this is without the Isbor and cost of planting and caring for a single extra grain. One must be both statis- tician and political economist te comprehend, even feintiy, indeed, the immense benefit this already so widely disseminated little machine has thus wrought for our country. That it is Going all that we claim for it is not only well known to all farmers who live up to the spirit of the age in the managoment of their affairs, but is apparent in the fact that twenty differ- ent rivals to it fur popular favor are essayed to be palmed onthe public, all of whieh, when tested by competent persons at the agricultu- ral faire, “go to the wall’—the decision in perbaps # hundred cueh trials having inva- riably been in favor of this so complete and successful invention. According to a late nomber of a leading agricultural journal, 11,000 of them had been brought into use up to the opening of this year, and the annual saving through the use of each is estimated to be equal to the value of 500 bushels of corn ; yet its use may really be said to have hardly commenced over the land, for in some sections it almost yet remains to be heard of. The specimen on exhibition at the fair now in progress here embraces the latest improve- ments, among them being a considerable re- duction of size, and therefore, as in all cases Of the use of cast iron, greater perfection in the castings; and the double works through which, by increasing the horse-power applied, double the amount of work ean be done with ® machine of the same class, (number,) euch as was manufactured one year ago. The Feed Boiler of Mr. Hedges is a fitting companion for the ‘Little Giant.” For some years past persons interested in stock feeding have been carrying on carefully instituted ex« periments to arcertain the relative economy (profit) of the use of cooked and raw grain According to the recent publication of the Kentucky State Agricultural Society, through their President, Mr Clay, a given weight of corn ground in such a crusher as we d above, and then boiled, will increase : th weight of a ‘‘stock”’ hog three pounds, for ore ipereased by feeding the same quantity us- Prepared, the cost of fattening swine is thus feduced to one-third of thecost where the old | respects to the new chief of his branch of the plan of throwing the corn om the cob into the penis pursued. Those who know aught of the vast number of hogs fattened, glaughtered and coneumed in this country, and éxported, will fee at a glance the vast national results store for us through these new improvements in the science of agriculture. The great difi- culty in the path of those up to this time seek- ing to avail themselves of the knowledge ob_ tained through these expsriments,Jhas been the want of a suitable boiling or steaming ap- paratus, economical in its consumption of fuel, handy to be used, and yet of sufficient capacity to cook the grain food of the usual horned cattle and swine of a farm. We have tried half dozen different applications to that end, always with unsatisfactory results, and have yet seen nothing that. approaches this boiler of Mr. Hedges, now on exhibition at the Fair in this city. Its advantages are economy of cost and fuel, safety, capacity almost witbout limit, and entire handiness Tho steam is generated in a small cast iron covered and sealed boiler, set in brick, with a safety valve on its upper surface, and India rubber (flex- ible) pipes to be thrust into covered barrels or vats containing the food to be boiled, placed by its side and removable at will. sy turning one cf these pipes into a barrel of water, in three minutes or so it will be boiling. The limit of the capacity of the machine is therefore simply the number of barrels, or vats on wheels, the stock feeder pleases to keep on hand ; as without the trouble of emp- tying one, except directly into the feeding trough, with a boiler three feet long and two feet wide and deep one may thus prepare properly perhaps one hundred barrels of stock feed a day, consuming in so doing no more fael than would be neceteary to supply an or- dinary country kitchen fire place. The city reader who deals in, and dreams only of “‘stock’’ of another description, may vote us rosy for inflicting upon him s0 long a disser- tation upon a subject so “homely.’’ Yat no other is of moze real importance to the pros- perity of this great country of ours. Greater, by long odds, is its production of live stock than that of any other on the face of the globe. The census returns will satisfy the most scep- tical that the value of the live stock of the United States is almost fabulous, when com- pared with that of all the bank, railroad, in- surance, mining operations, &c., in the land. Surely, this is therefore a subject worthy of the reflection of the man of sound sense. Ark- wright, Fulton and Whitney by improvements applicable to industrial pursuits were bene- factors whom the world will not forget so long as it retains the art of printing; and the time will surely come when society realizes what it owes to those through whem it is indebted for an immense increase in the aggregate value of the live stock of the land, through the in- vention and perfection of these unpretending looking little things, that at such an exhibi- tion in a city, must necessarily be passed by unobserved by thousands bent on getting a peep at the glaring handicraft of some young miss, in the shape of, perhaps, an elaborately needle worked quilt. The Coliectorship of San Francisco.—The contest for this position under the present Ad- ministration is believed by the knowing ones already to be very spirited. It seems to be understood that in the course of the late can- vas for Senators from California, Mr. La- tham gave to Mr. Telford, a California State Senator, a written agreement to resign that post, (the Collectorship in question,) and that Mr. T. accordingly supported him for the U. S Senate. However that may be, the resig- nation of Mr. Latham was received at the Treasury Department by the steamer before the last—the steamer, if we are not mistaken, arriving a fortnight before the public on this side of the lsthmus learned that Mr. L.’s as- pirations for the Senate had proved abortive This resignation is to take effect on the 30th of June next. Those aspiring to be his euc- cessor, according to the general understand- ing here, are the Mr. Telford aforesaid, Col. Washington, late editor of the Times and Transcript, the California Democratic State organ, and ex-Governor Bigler; whose respec- tive supporters in Washington—and there is quite a legion of California Democratic poli- ticians here—are having a lively time on’t, indeed. The result is just now past our power of divination. Public Men in Washington —We hove compiled the following list of public men now stopping at Willards’ for the information of a large number of friends who are constantly sending to the Star office to ascertain the lo- cation in Washington of such gentlemen whom they wish to 3 Judge Black, Attorney General; Hon. Lewis Cass, retary of State; Senators Wright of N. J; Kennedy, Md; Cameron, Pa.; Sim- mons. R I; King, N Y ; Fitch, Ind Dixon, Ct.; Trumbull, [ll.; @win, Cal ; and Broder- ick, do.; Mr. Napier, the English Minister’s and suite; John Cochrane, M. C. elect; Allison White, do ; Win P. Russell, do ; Israel) Hatch, jr. d ee Harmon, Collector of the port of Detroit ; Col. Watson Freeman, U.S Mar- shal, Boston ; Hon. Be i: F. Hallett and Gen Peaslee, Boston ; Hon Ward, M. C. elect; Hon. Jobn A. Soaring, do, Secretary Marcy —We hear that this dis- tinguished statesman designs making a tour through Eurepe, leaving the United States in the summer or fall. His progress on the other tide of the Atlantic will probably excite more aitention from the public men of Europe than was ever before accorded to an American, for there, as here, he certainly ranks as the great- est living conductor of the foreign affairs of a bation. The Naval Court of Inquiry.—Up to noon to day, four witnesses had been examined be- fore this tribunal in the case of Lieut. Richard W. Meade, now before it. Vis: Surgeon Wil- liamson, Constructors Hart and Delano, and Capt. Cunningham, all of the Navy. Dr. Boykin, naval storekeeper at Norfolk, had taken his place for that purpose at that hour. All of them are summoned on behalf of Lieut. Meade. erty Axes to Grind —The crowd upon the “ anx- ious benches”’ in the halls and reception room of the Executive Mansion every morning, up to the hour for the meeting of the Cabinet, is of course very large, though by no means as large us it would have beenif the new admin- istration had succeeded one of opposite polities; Watch and pray, gentlemen, all of you. The Oabinet—have held long sessions daily ever since their confirmation. We presume that they are engaged for the most part in sys- tematising their necessary arrangements; o ‘wise policy truly—one likely to relieve them from much otherwise necessary future embar- rassment | j25)0 0. eR ; Major General Seott, the Commander-in- chief of the United States Army, reached this ment, in uniform, this morning, to p:sy his public service; looking magnificently, i adeed, as be always does on such occasions. The Inauguration Ceremeny.—In giving, in| * detailed account of the inaugural oa sion, we omitted to state that the Presidential escort of Marshg on the left was under the command of Col. Jno. A. B. Leonard, of Mery* land, who was equipped with taste and pro- priety, and discharged his duty with elegance and energetic decision. The Michigan Appointments.—Many va- cancies are soon to occur by limitation of law in federal effices in Michigan, to which the Admistration here appoints. We beliove it has been determined on, very generally to ap- point to them others than the p: t incum- bents, as they may be respectively thus va- cated. Nonsense.—The story being extensively published in the Northern wonder-mongering press, that Horace Vernet is to be paid $200,- 000 for the picture he has been engaged to paint for the extension of the Capitol build- ing, has not the slightest foundation in truth. The price agreed on is but $10,000. Award.—The Secretary of the Treasury has awarded the contract for constructing the new custom house, post cflice and court house at Portsmouth, N. H., to Charles H. Merrill, of Georgetown, D. C , he being the lowest bid- der, for the sum of $82,728 96. Arrived.—Judge Black, the new Attorney General, attended the Cabinet council this morning, and, we presume, was duly inducted into his position by his predecessor—General Cushing. Court of Claims.—Yesterday, the case of Thomas T. Cannon was argued by B. O. Car- rington, Eeq , for the claimant. Adjourned until Monday next. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, 10th of March. there were of Treasury warrants entered on the hpoks of the Department— For the Treasury Department...

There was a general suspen” sion of business and closing of stores on the streete along which the prosession passed; houses and stores were draped in mourning, and flags were displayed at half mast through- out the city. The tolling of bells and boom- ing of cannoris added to the impressiveness of the scene. The Sarcophagus was taken to the Mary- land Institute, and placed upon s suitable platform erected in the centre of the apart- ment, pppropristely draped in black, with a United States flag at each corner, dressed in mourning. Air the prooesson was dismissed, the In- dependent Greys mounted guard over the bier the hal! remained open until a late hour, during that time it was visited by a great number of persons.
