WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Lovts Narotzon.—Certain it is, that un- der her present Government, France has pros- pered—we mean the material interests of that country—more than ever before since history Her Government, unlike ours, enters intimately into the every day af- fairs of all its citizens; so intimately as that it forms as it were a very element of their exist- Were this.something new we should be last to approve it; but since the days of avowed despotism there, such has been the character of the Government of France. Her republics have been nought but the most odious despotisms under false colors. It—despotism—is the Gor- ernment which the people of France seem abso- lutely to require under any and all circum- stances by which they may be surrounded. Hence, in their case, despotism that works well ‘ion is a very God-send asit were. No one has been more suspicious of the despot- iam of Louis Napoleon than ourself. Yet we are constrained to award him his due of praise as being the best of all her rulers of the last cen- tury, so far as protecting and fostering the sub- stantial interests of her laboring population and men of means are concerned.

We mention these facts because we are great- ly gratified with the fact that this southern ship-building house ranks s0 high for skilful work, as to stand second upon the list in both these contests, to which nearly all the eminent ship-builders of thecountry were parties. The house have constructed revenue cutters for the Government, which have given ent tion during long service, and in the six years du- ring which they haveearried on their ship-yard at Portsmouth, Va., théy have constructed more large merchant vessels than were ever before built in all the Union sofarsouth. Their estab- lishment.is at the most accessable point for the timber out of which Government vessels are constructed, and, besides, embraces many other advantages of location not obtainable elsewhere; the harbor of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., being unsurpassed on the Atlantic coast. state all these facts in the hope that they will have due weight in inducing the Government to divide its ship-building by contract somewhat in hereafter giving out such work, ordering the next new steam sloop-of-war to be built by the mechanics of the South.

We struck across the country, traveling thirty miles aday, got along pretty well, made some discoveries, and reached Soda Springs before the rest of the party. These springs taste like soda water, and, witna little sagar, it is better than what you buy at bome—it is cold and refreshing. In coming over during the nights, we had frost every night. and the thermometer at day break, generally stood from 15° to 20° above. We ‘were so igh, that sometimes we were above the snow. Yet even there we found flowers and cur- rants, and occasionally a bee getting sane This rt of the trip was decidedly the most pleasant. ve saw little game, but got plenty of fine tront, and occasionally a sage hen—very much like a prairie che oe larger.

To-morrow we start for the mountains again to examine another gap, and will probably be here in ten or twelve days to meet the main train. We have met but few Indians, and they are friendly ; though, if they achance, they will steal your animals. Wethought one night that they were gone, and that we were left afoot in the moun- tains. But the next day we found them ten miles away from camp. { never was better in my life than I have been here in the mountains.

Hudson, reporting that the Niagara was hauled into the Keyham basin, on Sept. 16, preparatory to landing the telegraphie cable, with the massive sppend- ages of machinery, steam engine and boiler, which has occupied her quarter deck, the com- pany having definitely determined not to lay out the cable this season, but to defer it until next summer. The work of landing would oc-" cupy thirty-five days or more. Should the company desire it, Captain H. an- nounces his intention, unless otherwise direct- ed by the Department, to leave the fixtures now in the Niagara for coiling the cable, &c., as they stand, and return with the ship to New York, where she will be in condition if required for another and more successful effort at laying the cable. In a posteript, Capt. Hudson announces that & telegraphic despatch had just been received from the Admiralty, not to havo any of the cable removed until further orders. He says: “I can only conjecture, as the company have abundant time to manufacture another cable, that it may have been disposed of to the Red Sea or East [India Company, for laying out to India.” The decision of the Board of Directors to de- fer another attempt at laying the cable until next summer was made in view of the advanced period of the season ; the uncertainty of a suffi. cient quantity of the best seasoned iron wire being procured for the use of the manufacturers to furnish the company with a further length of cable this autumn, and the improvements re- quired in the paying-out machinery. Fatrty Hoaxev.—a few days since we pub- lished, without the written explanation, that it was merely a hoax which our assistant pre. pared, a famous letter from General Horace Randall to General Washington, bearing date January 20, 1781. The mistake was such an one as frequently occurs in newspaper offices. There is a fellow up in Fauquier county, Va., named Norris, a precious wag in his way, who amuses himself in getting up innocent news- paper hoaxes. In this ease our opinion is that the Horace Randall letter was designed as a special quiz upon our fricndsof the National In- telligencer, who, like ourself, is an ardent wor- shipper of revolutionary reminiscences. Hor- ace Randall is, in verity, a burly fellow, aged about 45, and the idea of his having had a cor. respondence with Washington in 1781 is too good to be lost. No other brain than that of the indefatigable Norris could have conceived itand so arranged it as to have fairly caught on his pin-hook nine-tenths of the press of the country, as he succeeded in doing. We owe him an oyster supper on his first visit to Wash- ington this winter. Disnursina AGENTS Appointep.—The Sec- retary of the Treasury has appointed Chas. W_ Mall, Esq., Disbursing Agent fur the new Court House and Post Office at Indianapolis, Ind. The Secretary of the Treasury has also ap- pointed Charles Chapin, Esq., of Brattleboro’, Vt., Disbursing Agent for the new Court House and Post Office now constructing at Windsor and Rutland, Vt. Tug Nava Courts or Ixgvirny.—Court No. 1, was not in session to-day, on account of the indisposition of Com. Lavalette. Before Court No. 2, the case of Lieut.

His defence will be read on Monday noxt at 11 o’clock, a. m., by his counsel, R, K. Scott, Esq. Recovery or Storer Lann Warrants.— The Commissioner of the General Land Office yesterday morning received the following tele- graphic dispatch from Hastings, Minnesota, dated Ist instant, from which it will be seen that nearly all of the land warrants recently stolen from the register’s office at Faribault (covering some 30,000 acres of land) have been recovered : “The robber of the Faribault Land Office is under arrest ; all but five of the warrants recov- ered.

Correspondencé of The Star. New Yorx, Sept. 27, 1857. Meeting with kind friends in Brooklyn, yester- on our arrival, who were to guide our si in around Gotham, we were soon on the go. THE NAVY YARD, first visited, is well laid off, the officers’ quarters, ‘marine barracks, the Lyceum building, &c., oc- cupying prominent positions therein. Rambling path | the walks and workshops, we noticed the busy mechanic at his toil, making up such articles as are neces) oar aut agp hed fas as well as preparing tim’ rthe frigate Sevan- nab, which $6 inthe Dty Dock, being rebuilt and otherwise improved. From the wharf we were soon ferried to the re- ceiving ship North Carolina, 74, where everything was as clean and bright asanew pin. To Car- inter Owens, who politely escorted us through his vessel, we are indebted for much interestin: information concerning the modus operandi working ship, laying to, the messes, &c., &c. Like all the receiving ships of Uncle Sam’s reed this vessel has some very “‘old water’’ on board, —that offered for our inspection is said to have been in the tanks for over thirty years, during the time having been on a voyage around the world. ‘The ladies atong appeared incredulous, and swal- lowed the water much more readily than the story of its age and travels, From the quarter deck was seen the different vessels moored in Wallabout Bay, upon whict the Navy Yard is situated. The barque Panchita, of New York, which was captured some time since with a cargo of slaves on board ; the schoon- er Ellen, also of New York, seized ju this port, upon the charge of being engaged in the slave trade; and the Genoese barque 8. Michele, charged with smuggling, are moored abreast, under the gans of the receiving ship, where they will be kept until the questions at issue between them and the Government are determined by the courts of !aw. Here, also, is to be seen the United States ships Brandywine, Sabine and Potomac, now in ordinary; the sloop-of-war Vincennes, being prepared for sea service; and the steam- ship Dispatch, which was purchased by Govern- ment for the Hartstein Arctic Expedition in search of Sir Joho Franklin, bot was not used, being deemed unfit for the puree: Returning to the Yard, the Lyeeum was next visited. Here is to be seen a collection of curios- ities, &c., somewhat similar to those in the Pat- ent Office, besides some old paintings, one of which was painted near three hundred years ago; making, altogether an interesting exhibition. BROADWAY. After crossing the Fulton ferry, (which, by the way, keeps four boats constantly running—fare, two cents,) Broadway, the thoroughfare of New York, was taken on our ge to the Crystal Pal- ace. To the uninitiated, it {sa mystery how the jehus get Lehad aps Sie through sel delstess throng of vehicles alwa: ead and repassin, here, which seemed ore: 0 Intetest some of the erp than the many marble-front stores and the rilliant articles on exhibition and sale.

THE BROADWAY THEATRE At night, (with Smith Rogers, Esq., for our guide. who was assiduous in attentions to us) we visited this Theatre, where, as the bill stated.the ‘eccentric comedian, Mr. Charles Mathews, would appear in his original characters of Mr Affuble Hawk, In the Game of Speculation, and Plumper, in Cool as a Cucumber.’? Mr. Mathews performed his parts weil, especially that of Plam- : but not in the style we expected, having formed too high an opinion of him fom the many favorable notices he has received fiom the press. He labored under some disadvantages, however, in not being supported as be should have been; the Fred Barkins of Mr. Howard considerably marring the etfect of the piece—bhis swaggering, sailor-like style illy becoming the College-bred oung gentleman in love with and finally mated ‘o Jessie Honiton, despite the opposition of old Barkins, (Mr. Chippendale.) THE FIREMEN’s PROCESSION passed the Theatre about 10% o'clock, to view which we took a stand in the street. This was the largest firemen’s procession we had ever seen—forty-odd companies being in the line, each drawing a piece of apparatus, (an engine, hose carriage, or truck.) and accompanied by about twenty-bands of music—the occasion being the return home of one of the New York companies which had been excursionizing in Connecticut, where bint | had succeeded in taking one of the | Misia The procession was one hour and a half Be passing, r wards of three ap ppaese firemen ing in the line.

Arriving at the Park the companies countermarched to their respective headquarters, and about one o'clock all was still. THE BOWERY. A walk through here on Sunday, to Thiid street, and thence to Houston street ferry, satis- fled us that all labor is not suspended on what should be a day of rest. Some thirty or forty daguerreotype establishinents were found in ful! blast, Sunday being considered a harvest day among them. a WILLIAMSBURG, now a part of Brooklyn, was next visited, but was passed over too hastily toenable us to formacor- rect ee of the place or of its | bitants, who are said to be mainly engaged in ship building. manufactures, &e. tice P "=> HOMEWARD BOUND. Parting with our Brooklyn friends inthe after- noon, we crossed the ferry to Jersey City, and took the 6 o'clock train for Philadelphia, (via Trenton, Princeton, and Bordentown,) where we arrived at 9%, the only noticeable thing oecurring being a leave-taking between two gentlemen in the cars, which so affected them that they kissed sack other. ea tint th something new to us, ving supposed that this wax a luxury enjoyed eae the ladies, or a piri t Al zea lady; hence the novelty being noted here.
