SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union again argues that the balance of trade against a nation is not necessarily a sign that its trade must be a disadvantageous one. The same paper questions the propriety of publishing the details of such a trial as is now t i within our municipal limits. The Intelligencer suggests that the state of Congressional affairs as left at the close of the late session, indicates that whatever may be thought of the extent of the first session of c the second is altogether too short for the dispatch of the rapidly accumulating busi- ness of this great and growing country. ————~—<0e 107A whale forty feet in length and thirty feet in circumference, was captured near Beaufort, N.

We have. at length obtained the insight into them that enables us to feel assured that as soon as the orders that went out by yesterday's steamer ean assemble the Gulf squadron at San Juan del Norte, and all of the United States Pacific squadron within reach, at San Juan del Sur, the Nicaragua problem will be solved ina trice. We are now satisfied that General Lamar is in- structed, in the dispatches which Consul Run- nells bears to him, to demand the instant res- toration of the property of the American Transit Company, if not restored ere he arrives out. That, however, was done on the day after it was seized, though when the instructions were prepared, there was no official. or indeed other, information of the fact here. General Lamar has also been instructed to demand instant rep- aration and indemnity for any pecuniary dam- age the American Transit Company may have sustained from the seizure ; and if that damage be not satisfied, the two fleets will act according to his orders in and upon the three or four Nicaraguan cities or towns—San Juan del Norte. Realejo, San Juan del Sur, and one or two other less important points on the Pacific coast, within the reach of the squadron’s guns. We are further satisfied that General Lamar has also been instructed to inform Martinez that the United States deny the right of Nica- ; Tagua to make the Belly contract without hay- ing forfeited that of the American Transit Com- pany previously made, according to the manner and mode of its forfeiture as embraced in its own provisions; and that they (the United States) design enforcing the claim of that com- pany for ainple and prompt satisfaction of what- ever it may lose by Martinez’s aysumption of authority to annul its contract with Nicaragua. It is worthy of note that up to this moment Nicaragua has never dared to proceod to annul To oust that com- pany ofits rights, Niearagua’s legislature passed an act throwing tho transit open to all the world—authorizing any and overybody to curry passengers over it. On the very day after, the newspaper organ of the Nicaraguan Government explained the folly of such legislation, by call- ing attention to the fact that if everybody could use the transit route without toll, no one would build the bridges and wharves, dam the rapids, and deepen the channel of the river, all of which are necessary to the convenient use of the route. Two days after the appearance of that article, the legislature ratified the contract previously made between Belly and Martinez, | (in his individual charactor,) transferring to Belly the canal rights and privileges previously accorded to the American company The dispatch of Secretary Cass of the 25th of August last, (if we remember the date correct ly.) distinctly notified Nicaragua that this Go | ernment would protect the rights of the Amer- | ' ; ican company, and would permit no annulment of them without ample indemnification, except in accordxnce with the provisions of the con- tract, or by due decree of courts of law, of the justice of which this Government must be sat- to,”’ and to have parted the best of friends. it {s | fed.

Lamar. All the dis- posable additional fleet in our Atlantic coast— four or five first class war steamers—that can spoedily be put in commission, have certainly been ordered to be at once prepared for ser- vice. We judge their destination to be San Juan del Norte. A law of 1845 authorizes the Government to accord, at any time, the amount of the ocean letter carriage to any vesselscarrying the United States mails upon the high seas; and we have every reason to believe that such a contract will at once be made by this Government with the American Transit Company, if they will fest, with caly the width ef the col ting | Proceed promptly to run the route.

UP The Whig General Committee of New York held a meeting on Monday evening, at which Mr. Hiram Ketchum presided and made a speech. ‘The gist of his remarks was to the effect that the Old Line Whigs would not aliow them- | selves to be forced by either the Republicans or Democrats to support any man for the Presidency except a man who by his antecedents had proved himself a national man and who could be relied on as a national Chief Magistrate. Deatu or A MURDERER.—Abont a year since, Sarah J. Gould, of Lewisville. St. Lawrence coun- a school teacher, was murdered by Ja . @ young man who was thought to be engaged to her in marriage. He was tried aud convicted of the murder; but a new trial was or- dered, which was soon to have taken place. But he died of consumption in the Canton jail on the with ult. He lefta written statement of what he called the facts in the case, which is to be pub- lished. 107 The New York Journal of Commerce states that the shares of the New York Central declined, in consequence of the avowed determination of its | managers to make its arrangements for its own freighting business on a basis consistent with its | own independence, and thus to deliver merchan- | dise at the West as cheaply as it can be sent from tide water through any other channel. The indi- cations in railroading promise lower fares, more traveling, and probably more appalling accidents | the coming summer, than was ever before known in this country. UO” The alleged fagitive slave, Dangerfield, now undergoing an examination at Philadelphiz, entertained his keepers yesterday morning by sing- ing several popular Ethiopian melodies in a rich musical voice, and with an apparent geniality which would lead one to suppose that, notwith- standing the unfortunate circumstances by which he fs surrounded. he nevertheless keeps up his spirits, and possesses a cheerful disposition. US Marshal Yost has offered to contribute 3250 towards purehasing the freedom of Dangerficid in case he is remanded, provided a comparative amount js subscribed for the same purpose by those who call themselves his special friends. I> Eight lines of city passenger railroads are now built and in operation in Philadelpbia ; two tines are built but not in operation, aad six lines have been chartered and will be constructed forth- with. Charters for ten other routes will probably be granted by the Legislature, but there is no cer- tainty as to their construction. There are now laid in the city one hundred and thirty miles of tack, which will Probably be increased in a few months to two hundred miles. The fare upon all the lines is five cents. Some of the east and west tines have arrangements for exchange tickets with the north and south lines, an extra amount of fare being charged for the Privilege of changing from ne route to another, | | | dered to prepare for sea forthwith, will be United States cannot fail to open the eyes of Martinez, Belly & Co., to the utter folly of at- tempts on their part to molest them in passing between the two Nicaraguan ports, with strong Awerican fleets in each. a Notices To Marivers.—On and after the Ist of July next, the new light-house and beacon on Hemting Island, on Helena Sound, off the coast of South Carolina, will be lighted nightly. The ight-house tower is 95 feet high, and the focal plane 108 feet above the level of the sea. The lower part of the tower being of reddish gray brick, with 29 feet nearest the top painted white. The lens is to be of the second order of | Fresnel, showing a revolving natural colored light, with intervals of 30 seconds between the H , and visible in clear weather 17 nautical | s. The beacon light ison an open frame | work, at an elevation of 39 feet above the level of the sea. The lens is of the sixth order, and afixed nautical colored light will be shown. The St. Helena bar light-vessel will be discon- tinued when these lights are displayed. The magnetic bearings of the light-house are lat- itude 32 deg. 24 min. 20 sec. north, longitude 80 deg. 24 min. 30 sec. west. On Garrison Point, Sheerness, east coast of England. a fixed red light. at an elevation of 2 fect, will hereafter be exhibited, and may be seen four or five miles.” > Navan.—The Lancaster, San Jacinto, and | Ifartford, steam sloops-of-war, hay ing been or- ready in abouta month. The steam-frigato | Niagara is at the Brooklyn Navy Yard under- going repairs, and will not be ready for six or eight weeks. The steam-frigate Colorado is at Boston, and the Susquehanna at New York, both ready for sea, except that there are no Engineers in the service to put on board of them. By-the-way. we learn that there are’ now lacking in the service of the full comple- ment of members of the Engineer corps, eight chiefs. twenty-five first assistants, thirty-six second assistants, and twenty-four third assi tants. The reason for this is obviously the ins | adequacy of compensation, which docs not equal that which Engineers obtain in private capacities. ———e-—-. ft Tax Bostox Post Orvicy.—We noticed, some days ago, that the removal of this Office back to its old site on State street would be ordered by Postmaster General Holt, if those parties remoustrating against its being removed to Summer street should file a bond of indem- nity, securing the Government against the ex- pense of the rent of the new building, any ad- vanced rent that might bo demanded for the old building, and any other expenses arising from removing the office back. It is now un- derstood that the parties remonstrate against giving this indemnity on the ground that it is “excessive. and that they refuse to make ade- posit of the amount of indemnification until after the removal shall havo taken place. This being the ease, itis believed that the removal will not transpire. The hesitation of the re- monstrants is attributed in some quarters to theif apprehensions that Congress, at its next session, will order the-rémoval of the office from the State street site, and hence if they should incur the expense attending its removal back to the old site, it will be but so much money wasted. NSLS. Post Orrice Busixess.—During the quarter ending March 31, there were sold by the Post Office Department postage stamps and stamped envelopes, giving an increase of $311,093 over the receipts for the quarter ending December 31. This does not, however, prove any in- crease of correspondence, but merely that post- masters throughout the country have ordered more stamps and envelopes. The only avail- able data for arriving at the state of the corre- spondence of the country, shows that there has actually been a diminution, and hence a falling off in the postal revenue. During the last quarter, the Auditor's office attached to the Post Office Department has re- ceived 28,946 letters, sent out 17,205 letters, and audited 28.917 postmasters’ accounts. a Postat Repvetion.—Since the first of the current month, the single rate of postage upon letters sent from the United States in the Brit- tsh mail, via England to Buenos Ayres, or any other port of the Argentine Confederatien, or tothe Republic of Paraguay, (the corres- pondence for which is forwarded in the mails from England for Buenos Ayres.) is reduced from forty-five to thirly-three cents, prepay- meut required. Misisten to New Graxapa—tit is stated that ex-Senator Geo. W. Jones has withdrawn his declension of the mission to Bogota, and ac- cepted the appointment; and that he will pro- ceed to that country at an early day. We are not yet satisfied of the truth of this report. Steawer Hantronp.—The steam sloop-of- war Hartford, at Boston. was subjected on Saturday last, to the preliminary trial by steam. It is reported that her machinery worked well, and fully equalled the expecta- tations of its constructors. eer Tag Weatner.—The following report of the weather for this morning is made from the Morse Telegraph line to the Smithsonian Institution.
