The Union, speaking of ‘‘The Codfish Bounties,” the Senate bill for the abolition of which is now pending in the House, says this bounty is. one of those snug little abuses which Often escape, for long periods, the attention of the most vigilant legislators, and that it has already cost the Government nearly $12,500,000. ‘The Union publishes, for the edification of the House, the speech of Mr. Clay, delivered in the Senate in opposition to the bounties, at the last session.

Sensiscz at Last. —Gov. Chase, of Ohio, de- votes only eight lines of his Message to slavery. The Governor seems to have adopted the idea that as there is no danger of the introduction of slavery into Ohio, he will let the States in which it exists take care of it in their own borders, and Congress take care of it in the Territories. ee Provision ‘The merchants and dealers in provisions in Baltimore have Organ- ized a Provision “Exchange,” and secured very handsome accommodations on Exchange place, and are having their hall ofmeeting appropriate. ly embellished, where may be found from 11 to 12 o'clock ali of her prominent provision dealers.

UD” A correspondent of the New York Eve- psng Post, having heard that Germans drink lager-bier on Sundays, made a brief tour of in- Spection in the Bowery last Sundayevening. At the Volks-Garten, he was assured by one of the Proprietors that fifteen thousand giasses of lager had been sold that evening at the single bar where hestood and that the number of glasses sold in the establishment up to ten o'clock, was not less than fifty thousand.

Mejia, a Lieutenant Colonei in the Mexican army, writes to the New York Herald in regard to the blame that bas been attached to Mr. Forsyth for bis participation in the conceal- ment of certain silver bars at bis residence at Ta- cubeya. Mc. Mejia states that Mr. Forsyth took the bars in charge at his (Mejia’s) request, asa personal friend. He says that Persons conversant with Mexican customs must be aware that on the eve, or during a revolution, money, plate, and other valuables, are deposited in the foreign Jegations and consulates for safety. He says that Mr. Forsyth, was not, at the time, aware that the silver bars were those extracted from the cathedral of Morelia Sap Datu or a Bostox Lapy —Mre. Warren Fisher, daughter of Dr. Winslow Lewis, died 4n Boston on the 9th instant from injuries received on Wednesday last Onthe day mentioned Mrs Fisher was shopping in Daniels & Co.'s store, in Summer street, and was inspecting some goods im the back part of the building, which is lighted alone by heavy glass plates. While she was thus cecupied, an avalanche of suow and ice fell from the roof of the store, and striking upon the glass, broke a number of the panes into innumer- able pieces, one of which, pointed and keen as = razor, penetrated the lady's right side between her hip and lower rib, cutting through clothing and infficting a frightful wound, and to such depth that a portion of her intestines protuded, The hemorrhage was fearful, but no time was lost in sending her tothe doctor's residence, where she remained till death putan end to her sufferings.

A Pustic Recertion.—We are authorised to announce that there will be » public tion at the Executive, mansion this ev from eight to ten o'clock. — Rs Pourtican QvackerY.—Feeling that our own pen could indite nothing 80 apropos of the gir- cumstances attending the recent @xtracrdinary political tour of Senator Douglas, a¢ we fitid in a brief commentary thereupon, in the St. Louis (neutral) Lzpress, we copy it entire for the Senator’s especial benefit, as follows : ‘The recent tour of Mr. Douglas, beginning at at. is and ending at Philadelphia, is to our mi the mést signal succession of indelicate, presumptuous and sel!.sb appeals to the Dublic. ever made by @ statesman, much less a patriot. The time was when men of distinction rather sbrank from, than courted public favor, and when a accepted office to gratify and accom- modate the people at their own personal sacri- fice. Mr. Douglas, however—and we instance more particularly because be is the latest example—sets out on a circuitous ronte to his seat in Congress, with all the ostentation of a victorious General and ail the stale tricks of an expert politician. He has his avant courter and his claqweur, and is attended new: scribblers and im line biographers tween him and the distinguished troupe of pugi- lists who have just followed in bis wake, and who certainly rival bim in popularity, if we may judge by the ovations offered to each, there is no little resemblance. Both seem to court the public gaze, and although one gave exhibitions for » the other gave them for office. The bill-poster, the advertiser, and the paragraphist, were allalike assiduous in their efforts to put the statesman and the pugilist, and with equal delicacy ard modesty. ** We would not be understood as singling Mr Douglas out on account of bis advocacy of any particular political opinion, but simply as being & case in point of most recent occurrence. O:ber gentlemen in his position have pursued a like course with as much effrontery, and as little Modesty ; and to taem a ply the remarks which we have expressed of him. Of statesmen pos- sessing <ufficient ability to aspire to the Presi- dency, we should expect something far above the tricks that are resorted to by expert show- men and traveling mountebanks ; and {t grieves us to see a man like re who, by an unex- ampled canvass of untiring industry and great personal sacrifice, succeeded in gaining an hon- orable victory over a erful opponent, throw away the prestige of his triamp! , a series of exhibitions hardly rising above the ignity of aa itiner ant charlatan.”” ACQUISITION oF Cuna.—Yesterday, Mr. Sli- dell introduced to the Senate a bill looking to the acquisition of Cuba by purchase. This bill sets forth that, as the situation of Cuba gives it a commanding influence over the trade of the Mississippi valley, and as, in its colonial capacity, its proximity to this ecuntry must continue to be a source of annoyance, endan- gering friendly relations between Spain and the United States, through aggressions of its local authority upon our commerce and citizens, for which tardy redress can only be had by cir- caitous demands on Spain, therefore something should be done with a yiew to remove this pro- lific source of difficulty. According to the sug- gestions of the President, and the opinion of Congress, the bill declares that the best means of accomplishing this-is to renew negotiations for the purchase of the island by this Govern- ment. To facilitate these negotiations, the bill appropriates $50,000,000; and in case there is not that amount in the Treasury it authorizes @ loan for this purpose. Ivporten Svoar Cang.—In his speech in the House of Representatsves a few days ago, on the resolution of Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, inquiring by what authority the Secretary of the Interior convened the Advisory Board of Agriculture, &c., Mr. Hughes, of Indiana, re marked, “I supposed that this Board was quite as much authorized as the expenditure ef $15,000 to send out a vessel to bring sugar- cane cuttings to this countryfor cultivation, & proceeding to which I have heard no objec- tion."’ The connection in which this was said might convey the impression that it was Secre- tary Thompson, who is from the South, who had procured the cuttings alluded to. It was not, probably, the intention of Mr. Hughes to be so understood; nor is it the case, for it was ® former Secretary of the Interior, and a Northern man, Hon. R. McClelland, by whom the foreign sugar-cane cuttings were imported for gratuitous distribution on the late failure of the cane of Louisiana. Facts axp Rumors.—It is reported that a Central National Club was organized here yea- terday, the object of which is to present John Minor Botts as an opposition candidate for the Presidency. it is said that a majority of “the Select Committee on Desks’’ in the Representatives’ Hall, favor dispensing with them altogether It is rumored that Douglas’ friends in the Senate and House intend ‘ to oppose the Ad- ministration, both in foreign and domestic policy, by withholding ®ppropriations,”’ &c., snd that “a leading Southern Senator is con. nected with this movement.’’ The first part of the statement may be true, but about the latter clause, we are incredulous. The expenditures at the United States Ar- mories, during last year, were as follow: Springfield, Mass., $309,373: Harper's Ferry, Va , $242,364 —making a total of $351,733. A private letter received in this ity recent- ly, says “that the people of Arizona Tercitory have put into operation a judicial system of their own, to continue in force until one shall be established by the authority of the United State: An Exrra Session.—The impression has certainly become general here, that an extra session of Congress must be called to provide means for the support of the Government. Of course it is based on the idea that Congress will waste the balance of the Present ses: i irrelevant discussion. As we do not fear any such contingency, we fail to coincide in the opinion. That extraordinary legislation to provide for the current and anticipated de- ficiency (arising almost entirely as that does from the failure of the usual sources of revenue, growing ont of the stringency of the times.) is s0 apparent to all as to convince us that none in Congress will essay to blink the fact. It is not for us to suggest the Proper expedients to be resorted to—that duty being the province of the Committee of Ways and Means, and those honorable members who may diszent from the recommendations of that committee. Re-Surveyrs.—In answer to an interroga- tory, the Commissioner of the General Land Office has decided that in all cases where lafids belonging to the United States have been regu- arly surveyed and sold—the Proprietorship of the Gover t therein entirely ceasing—it Is not incumbent on the Government to cause # re-survey to be made, even if the lines, corners, &c., marking the original survey shall become obliterated. The re-survey must be made by the owners of the land, on the basis of the field notes of the original survey; or the State may order such re-survey to be made. The General Government, however, having nothing further to do with the land. Cuna.—The expected reply to the resolution of inquiry adopted by the House yesterday, on motion of Mr. Barksdale, will Probably cleer up the doubt in the public mind with reference to the trath of the allegation in late foreign news- papers, that England and France have signified to this Government that they will not permit the United States to sequire Cuba by Purchase, Spain consenting. For our Part, we have placed no confidence whatever in the truth of the rumor. — Onecon.—It was *pparent atl p. m., to-day, we think, that the House, ere adjourning for dinner, would, on motion of Mr. Btephons, o Ga., proceed at length to the consideration of the dill admitting Oregon as a State into the Union...
