SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union publishes, without comment, fhe correspondence between the Postmaster Gen- eral and George Mattingly, one of the United States mail contractors, by which it appears that no extra session of Congress will be ealled. The Union treats of Pennsylvania politics, and traces the rise and fall of Governor Packer. The Intelligencer criticises unfavorably the policy adopted by the Administration, of issuing Post Office certificates to make temporary pro- vision for the service of the Post Office Depart- ment. a OS > The democrats of St. Louis have nominated Lewis V.

Whitney, in in- venting the cotton-gin, did more for the future of his country, than can yet be realized by our countrymen, though all are aware that the result of his invention has already been the addition of perhaps many hundreds of mil- lions to its available wealth. The inventors and perfectors of various other machines, have, thousands of them, benefited society after the same fashion. Even the little apparatus for regulating the draft in furnaces of steam en- gines, in enabling those using them to dispense with perhaps a quarter of the fuel necessary to generate a given amount of steam, and in at the same time decreasing the wear (deterioration) of the boiler and furnace from frequent and sudden changes of temperature, must prove of great benefit to the future of society. So, also, in the case of Salisbury’s new inven. tion for preparing the clay or other plastic material, and moulding bricks, tiles, drain pipe, cornices, &e., &c., briefly noticed in Sat- urday’s Stvr. For the results it produces it is wonderfully simple, and evidently requires not more than a fourth of the power to drive it re- quisite to work any machine now in general use for making briek from dry clay. In Salis- bury’s, the elxy is used almost just as taken from the bank. The only preparation needed is to have it about so wet that one may knead it with the fingers. In that state, thrown into the hopper fine or in lumps, it is there first rolled at unequal velocities and gradually drawn into a recess, where it undergoes a thorough manipulation, or rather kneading. It is then coated (by the arrangement of the machine) on alarge cylinder, and undergoes again most thorough pulverization, by which all the air is perfectly worked out. Then. as coated. it passes through another series of manipulations. It is after all this refinement ssparated from the main cylinder by a most ingenious arrangement for seraping or squeezing it off, and ia thrust into the molds or dics, where it is given the desired shape. As complicated and varied as are the pro- cesses it undergoes, they do not occupy half a minute from the moment the material is placed in the hopper until it makes its appearance from the mold or die a finished brick, pipe, ue sae d os 17" The new opera house in New Orleans is to be commenced forthwith, and will be opened next October by Mr. Uliman.

It is reported that at least twenty miles of the Hudson river railroad are submerged, but wheth- er any portion of the track has been washed away can only be ascertained when the waters subside. iP The three men named John Shields, Geo. Williamson, and Johu Tom, who were arrested in Liverpool in 1957, for murdering and throwing overboard x fellow sailor near the Belize.

President Castro, by various arbitrary and uncoustitutional acts, had provoked a general feeling of discon- tent, which on the Ist inst., manifested itself in an insurrectionary movement at Caracas, which. however. was forribly repressed. U7 In New York, Bernard McGattney, a ped- dler, unfavorably known to the police, was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of having been concerned im the death of Mike Walsh. He was scen in the vieluity where the body was found early on Thurs- day morning; and Mr. Knapp, a witness at the cor- oner’s inquest, says he resembles one of the men whom he saw ronning from the spot immediately after he heard the ery of “ murder."* I~ There is some scandal afloat in Hartford, drying ere being burned. Mr. Salisbury holds that one of these machines, costing $600, driven by a ten-horse power engine, will turn out 25,000 bricks per diem; and. from the working of his model with the power of a single man at the wheel, we see no reason whatever to doubt the fact. The model thus driven delivered finished pipe of an inch bore far better annealed than we ever before saw earthen pipe, at the rate of perhaps four feet per minute. The bricks, pipe, &c., exhibited by him as having been made by the machine are much heavier than other bricks and pipe of the same size, which is evidence that it does its work more thoroughly than by other methods of producing like results. This is a great desideratum, inas- much as it involves a greater substantiality of the buildings, drains, &c., constsucted of materials made by it—a fact in which society has as great interest as in the superior economy as seapzei with which it accomplishes its ends.

This is the purport of a letter of the Postmaster New York took place on Sunday, from his late General, written yesterday afternoon, to Geo. residence in Twenty-first street. It is estimated that there were at least ten thousand persons Mattingly, Esq., superintendent of the Potomac Leap mpeny rR ra — Seah Steamboat Company. In this letter the Post- in the neig the dwelling. | master General states that Congress expired, ion omnia ceeroenprs oe \ cpermar pons oss for the first time since the orgunization of the bs sad with gst aah Keds iodie bene Government, without having made appropria- oom “s d tions for the postal service fur the next fiseal year, and had members been elected from all shrouded with white crape. Among the pall bearers were George Wilkes, Judge Steers, Ex- the States, the President would at once have called an extra session. This was, however, Mayor Wood, Hon. Jobn Cochrane, and James T. Brady. In the procession were many of the “ Old Spartan Band,”* of which deceased was the | impossible without disfranchising the people of nearly half of the States of the Union, which had not elected members. He regards this as founder. The corpse was interred in Greenwood Cemetery, near the grave of a daughter of de- an unfortunate dilemma, and suggests that there ought to be no interval when a full Con- ceased, in a lot of the late George Steers, who was gress could not be convened, and it is to be hoped that there never will be one hereafter. He then shows that if the Congress had only made provision for the deficiency, there would have existed no urgent necessity for an extra seasion, inasmuch as the first quarterly service of contractors for next year will not have be n performed, so as to entitle them to pay, until the first of October; and except for railroad routes, sixty days more must elapse before their accounts can be finally settled, which would postpone the payment until the Ist of December, within less than a week from the regular meeting of Congress. Or, if deemed advisable. Congress might be convened in No- vember, in time to provide for what will be due for the first quarter's service of the next fiseal year. He then alludes to the deficiency on recount of the present year’s service, which is estima- n Philadelphia, on Satur day last, the Jews of the city celebrated-the anni* versary of their deliverance, through the interp. ~ sition of Esther, queen of Abasueras, from the general massacre of their race, as Prociaimed by King Abasuerus, in the 127 provinces over which he reigned, at the instigation of Haman, who even offered to pay 10,00 talents of silver to de. fray the expenses, to have his desire fulfilled. ‘But Esther, the cousin of Mordecai, having by her beauty (which had turned more than one King’s head) become queen, and being made ac. quainted with the intentions of Haman, managed to turn the tables on him, and not only suceceded in getting Lim hanged on the gibbet prepared for her father, but on this day of the month of Sivan —third month—obtained a total reseindment of the proclamation. As usual, the Jews met in the ‘Tabernacles and read the Book of Esther, and Performed other rites, in commemoration of the event. {7 We mentioned yesterday the fact of a cl b yarren lergy- | ted at $4,385,231.95, and remarks that “ after ities furmaaal pines dag 7,1 being suspected of | the 30th of June next, the eum of $700,000 is Rev.

He is said to have testified under oath that his wife had told him on the night previous to her death that she had swallowed arsenic three or four times, and that she was impelled to do so Lecause of ditticulties existing between her mother and himself. Healsy stated that before he received this information froin his wife she bound him by a promise not to di- ‘vulge this statement to any living being except it ‘was to save his life. Other witnesses, inclnding er mother, however, criminated the husband. fur Congrees and the Executive Departments, may be applied in part to the extinguishment of this deficiency. This will leave the balance to be provided for $3,685,231.95.

He then assures contractors that the debts due, and to become due, to them, arising as they do from contracts entered into under authority of laws passed by Congress will not, and cannot, be re- pudiated, but that their payment will be inevi- table; and if the contractor desires to borrow money, the record of hiselaim against the Gor- ernment will be ample security to the lender. Besides, as Congress are in default for not hav- ing made an appropriation, strict justice will require them to provide for the payment of in- terest on these accounts from the time of their final adjustment. This will amount to less than $100,000, and is not to be compared to the em- barrassments and expense resulting from an extra session of Congress. The letter concludes with an assurance that a system of retrenchment will be followed, and that services will not be commenced on the six hundred and ninety-five new routes established by the act of June 14, 1358, nor on the St. Paul’s and Puget Sound route, as no money has been Sppropriated for them. It will be perceived that the Department does not propose to issue certificates of indebtedness, or resort to any other questionable expedients. The service rendered will stand upon the record as evidence of the claims of contractors. and be of itself sufficient security to insure its liquidation as soon as an appropriation is made by Congress. ce ig Frou Brazit.—The State Department is in reecipt of letters from Hon. Richard K. Meade, Minister to Brazil, in which it is stated that the Emperor takesa great interest in the pend- ing difficulties between our Government and Paraguay, and will strive to bring about their pacific adjustment.

I~ Late files from Buenos Ayres, contain a re- markable correspondence between the Secretary of State of that Government and the American Coasal, Mr. W.H.Hndson. It appears that the Buenos Ayrean executive bad taken offence at the entrance ofthe American war vessels in the Parana with- out its consent previously obtained, and had re- quested our Consul to signify so much to Commo- dore Shubrick. Mr. Hudson, however, interposed the fact that the Conmodore and the Couumission- er ad stopped at Buenos Ayres. Jan. 1, to pay their respects to President Alsina, but his absence had prevented aterview, and any explanations that might have attended it. He also pleaded in mitigation, that the vessels were all bound to Ar- gentine ports, one only excepted, whose mission to Paraguay was one of peace, not of war. ‘This apology the Buenos Ayrean Secretary admitted conditionally, his riyht to apply for more and bet- modore in person being reserved. Sap AND SIN ® Dearu.—The Cleveland pa- pers of March 15th record a melancholy case of sudden death. On Monday night Miss Theodosia Smith, aged nineteen, attended a singing rehearsal by the choir of St. Paul's Church. At the close of the school, one of her companions, observing that she did not arise, asked her if she was not going home, She said she could not get up, adding in a laughing manner that her foot was asleep. She then made an attempt to arise, but instantly fell back in her seat, and never spoke again, She was conveyed to her home, where in about three hours, she died. Every effort was made to rally her, but alito no avail. The physicians who called say that there was enlargement of the lungs, and that she died from paralysis of those organs.
