ImpoRTANT FROM WasHINGTON—Pkopaniuiry ©. 4 Tarirr.—By ovr accounts from Washington, u,)to three o’clock on Monday afternoon, there wes & strong probability that a tariff at last would ; without the distribution clause. Our postscript of this morning, pub ished after this is written, ¥ show what chance there is ofthis more plainly If such a result should take place, it proves con r is truly a “ live against every cur sive y that Captain John T fish,” that swims up the stream His last vero has completely de rent and eddy molished the whigs, and eft them without a foot to stand upon. They f t—thev aee it—and ti submit to their fate with some reluctance, but de- nolished they are, to every intent and purpose, "This new tariff will exclude the articles of tea and cofiee from any duty—but otherwise it will be the Jate tariff bill without the distribution clause. We > the President will sign it at once, and thus settle the question forthe present. It will be victory h for one session—but how the whigs will , and rave, and take on, is none of eur busi- t believ Sach then is the state of things. The new treaty with England, and the new tariff, will be enough 1o give a great start to all kinds of business—and be the means of reviving trade and commerce. With the immense crops—the currency getting better every day—the broken banks and paper institutions exploding around us—a sound trade, on a right ba- sis, must grow up throughout the country in less than six months. Such are the first effects of a firm union bet John Tyler and John C. Calhoun in the adminisira- tion of public affairs. More extraordinary results will soon follow. Have patien fools. Lorp Asupurton’s Movements.—-Yesterday morning Lord Ashburton got up at the usual hour, and took breakfast at the Astor House, in the best style of Stetson & Coleman. His Lordship says he never saw such a splendid hotel, or one kept in such a recherché style even in Europe ; so that he is not alone au fuit in making treaties. Ta the course of the morning he visited the venera ble Albert Gallatin, and had an interview with the great ld statesman of nearly two hours. They talk- ed ofthe Treaty, but particularly of the singular financial condition of the country—the State credit —the mismanagement of the banks—the wealth of the public, and the folly of its business classes. — Lord Ashburton thinks that the United States is the greatest nation under the sun—with the best institu- tions, laws and religion ; but the worst set of finan- ciers and statesmen that ever cursed any nation. In this opinion his Lordship isa man of sense and shrewdness, and shows his knowledge of the wis- dom in the Herald’s pages. About 4 o'clock, Lord Ashburton proceeded over Hoboken ferry, in the carriage of James G. King, and dined with a select party at his beautiful cha- te2u, called Highwood, on the heights of Weehav: ken» Atthis party, Lord John Hay, John G. King, and several distinguished official characters were present—one or more of the commissioners of te Gomer, the British Consul, and several other per- sons of distingtion. They sat down to a most unique dinner, prepared in the exquisite style of Mr. King’s cuisine, about half past five o’clock. It was a truly delightful occasion, and much pleasant talk and useful hint took place. One of the leading to- pies of conversation was, “‘ what will the several States do to recover their credit ?”—being the good old Bible inquiry, “‘ What shall I do to be saved 2” It was generally agreed that such a desirable resuit can oaly be brought about by a union of faith and good works ; in other words, by confidence, indus. try, and strictly just commercial priuciples, in oll matters of trade veniug, Lord Ashburton returned to the » aud this morning, accompanied by Hay, he takes his departure in the New He will proceed through Springfield, and remain in Bosten and i up to Monday next.

After that event, he will take up his departure for “merrie old England,” and bid a final adieu to these shores. Good luck to his Lordshi), He isa sensible and an honest narch can bestow.

He has returned to Providence without him. He waited upon Goy. Habbard, of New Hampshire, in obedience to his instructions, with a requisition from Gov. King, for a warrant to arrest Thomas W. Dorr, now in the State of New Hampshire. Goy. Hubbard respect- fully, but firmly and decidedly, declined obeying the requisition, and stated to Governor Arnold that he would forward, by mail, his reasons for so de- ng, addressed to ‘*Samuel W. King, acting or of Rhode Island.” We understand that Gov. Arnold was well treated by the authorities of New Hampshire, though he was in respectful lan- guage told that he did not represent the legal Go- vernor of Rhode Island. There is, of course, much anxiety to see Governor Hubbard’s letter, justifying his course, It was believed, when Gov.

Let us look at the f ng table of the number of souls that have ar- this city alone for the last ten years, with a estimate of the actus] amount of wealth they rought with them:— sserorns Annivep in tme Port or New Yorn. . + 33,919 39, 440 39,461 43,989 49,922 $1,676 2,200,000 24,213 1,000,000 47,633 2,000,000 60,722 3 000,000 65.355 2,500,000 + 55,336 2,500,000 507,137 $ 11,900,000 Here, then, we have, in the short space of ten years, half a million of people landed in this city These 599,009 have, to say the least of it, produced an average of 8 souls each, to increase the population, thas adding 2,000,000 of human beings to the popula- tion of this great country, and have quadrupled the wealth they brought with them, making an incren 100,000,000 to the real wealth of the country. What nonsense—what madness, then, for a certain set of ant Lireraturz.—A New Lapy’s Boox — We have just had laid on our editorial table, one of the most elegant periodicals that has been issued in Franve, England, or America for the last five years. It is entitled, “THE ARTIST, a Monthly Lany’s | Boox,” and is published by F. Quarle, 64 Read | street, at the low price of $3 per annum. ‘The first number of this truly beautiful work wll be issued to subscribers on the Ist of September next. It is printed at the Herald Establishment; it is the first of a beautifal series of works which we shall in the course of time issue to the public, and which will form an entirely new era in the history of periodical literature in this country. The great want that has existed for a superior work of this kind, has long been seen in the enor- mous demand for such works as “Godey’s Lady's Book,” ‘*Snowden’s Lady's Companion,” and “ Graham’s Magazine.” Of these three works there are published, conjointly, every month about 50,000 copies; only neither of them can rank higher than third or fourth-rate works, either as regards literature or art. In fact, when these works were commenced—one six, another five, and another two years ago—they were the most coniemptible things imaginable ; and even now, except in a few instances, they are most trashy affairs. What do they contain but miserable hashed-up stories, and tates that have been translated and re-translated, and plagiarised for the tenth time from every living language almost beneath the sun; sonnets that make one positively sick to read them; the whole without point, or meaning, or the slightest interest to any member of the human family ? And, as we have but recently seen, 1n many instances, the same articles are published over and over in the same magazine, without the slightest explanation or apo- logy. Then as to the artistical talent displayed in these works ; why, the whole of it melted down into a very small compass would not be worthy the name of talent. The plates of the fashions are invariably six months behind, and are the most horridly exe- cuted things imaginable—stiff, formal, without sym- metry, taste, or color—they are utterly contempti- ble. Of the other illustrations, the greater part are daubs—specimen plates presented gratuitously. by young artists, in order to get into notice and obtain employment; with occasionally a tolerable engra- ving (never an original one) copied from English or American works, reprinted for the twentieth time. But in this truly beautiful work before us, the “ Artist,” the stories and illustrations are altogether ona different plan. Mons. Quarré, who isa French- man of most exquisite taste and skill, is himself the artist, and directs the whole of the illustrations to this elegant work. He embellishes each number with three superbly colored plates, one on some gene- ral subject, one a flower-piece, and a magnificent plate of the newest fashions, as received direct from Paris. The literary illustrations are altogether of a very superior character. M. Quarré has en- gaged the best talent in the country, and paid them liberally to contribute to his work. Of the printing and execution of the work, it is only necessary%o say, that it cannot be surpassed by any establish- ment in this city. Tue Turatricat Funp.—We find the following paragraph in relation to this matter in the “ London Morning Chronicle “New Yor« Tueareicat Funn.—Our friend Fanny Elssler has not only earned great wealth, but also much honor and renown by her trip to America. She has just finished a career unexampled for suc- cess in the United States, by an act which will cause her memory to be respected for ageato come. She addressed a letter to the influential citizens of New York, with a view to the institution of some society for the relief of those of her protession whe have not been go fortunate as herself. The letter displays a noble, and even masculine mind, and has been re sponded to with that warmth which is the characte- nistic of the Americans. A public meeting was 1m- mediately called,at which a committee of merchanis and professionals was appointed to draw up a consti- tution and regulations for the coilection and ma- nagement ef a fund for the relief of aged and de- cayrd performers generally, and several thousand doilars were speedfly subscribed, the ‘divine Fanny’ herself being a donor to a very considerable amount. On the first of aid a benefit, in aid of the fund. took place at the Park Theatre, which was filled almost to suffocation. The receipts amounted to 2,326 dollars, and the plaudits and bouquets shower- ed upon their favorite Fanny, who performed before them for the last time, defies all description.” Here we have an announcement that the receipts of that celebrated night amounted to $2,326; and we have but little doubt that the statement is cor- rect, and very probably comes from information af- forded by Fanny Elssler herself. But this account dees not tally very well with the statement publish- ed by the trustees, or by a sort of semi-official au- thority of theirs, that the receipts of that night were only about $250 or $350; and that the money was invested in the Savings’ Bank, where it isto remain until next spring ; when it is said a grand dinner is to be given, and the establishment of the Fund isto date fren that period. 4 This latter statement, however, is a very queer one; and unless Messrs. Hone and Barry, and Geo. P. Morris, all come out with a full account, and state positively how much was actually received on that night, the public may possibly believe that they are going to eat up the whole of the proceeds of that night in one grand dinner. And if only $250 were received, why that sum deserves to be eat up. One stipulation, however, we must make with Messrs. Morris, and Barry, and Hone; and that is, that if they do eat up the money, they will by all means give usa chance to see fair play, by inviting us to the feast. Coumay’s, Broapway.—This place is the very sanctuary of the arts and sciences in this city, and deserves the best encouragement. It is beautifully fitted up, and contains the choicest collection of books and prints on this side of the Atlantic. Mr. Colman has long been a successful caterer for the public ; he has been at an enormous expense, and we trust will receive a liberal patronage. No visiter or resident of this city, who lays claim to a particle of taste, should omit visiting Colman’s saloon, 203, Broadway. A Live Fisu.—We have at last caught an origia- al genius—a live fish—in the person of Mike Walsh, captain of the Spartans. He isa perfect Boz among orators—a Menenius Agrippa among modern Ro- mans—with a bit of Masaneillo, a bit of Rabelins, a bit of Mirabeau, a bit of Cobbett, abit of Ben Frank- lin, almost as cynical as Rousseau, with a very large slice of himself to make up the balance. It is a rare thing in these degenerate days to find anything original ; and Mike is a perfect original—a true genius, and no mistake. He is a trump card, and we muet play him off upon all occasions hereafter, and he must hold himself in readiness accordingly, when called for. His speech at Castle Garden on Monday night has been pronounced the richest thing in political oratory that has been heard in a long time. And hereafter, the very name of Mike Walsh as one of the orators, will be sure to bring a crowd to any political meeting, and an attentive and delighted auditory, provided he always makes such speeches as that. We must have a committee to take charge of Mike New Brrontox.—This delightful place is filling val General Court Martial on board the U. 8S. Ship North Carolina. Mompay, Aug. 25 ‘Tatar or Lisut.

A.—They were attached to the Expedition, and were destroyed at the island of Malolo about that date. They ‘were, together with myself, Lieutenant Alden and Midshipman Clark, attached to boats survey- ing the island of Malolo, and others in the same group. Being out of provisions, and at the time separa- ted from the squadron, Lieut. Underwood was induced, through consent of Lieut. Alden and the promise of the natives to furnish provisions, to land at the town of Soalib, for the Purpose of obtaining some provisions—pigs, veget- ables and fruit. The principal chief of this town had pre- viously sent hi stock of yams was on hand. ied us with many of those articles. spokesman to invite us to this town, stat- ing that he had these things I have before specified, to make a present to the party, if they would come for them. Every inducement was offered them to bring them off to the beats, but they declined doing 0. This was the final reason that induced Mr. Underwood to land. Previous to doing so, how- ever, he detained a chief as a hostage, and upon Licut. Alden’s joining him he was obliged to separate, in conse- uence of a coral reefthat seperated them from the town, t. Underwood's boat drawing less water, and when the tide rose Lt. Alden joined him. He then the hos- tage to Lt. Alden’s boat, and approached the beach for the purpose of receiving the present trom the town. I soon after joined Lt. Alden with my own boat, when he com- menced telling me that the chief, or hostage, then in his ooat, had eudeavored to escape—he had just hauled him into the boat—and while relating this to me he actually made his escape, by jumping over the stern-sheets into whish wae ross three to, fume feet deep be- tween the boat and shore. Lt. Underwood was on the shore when Ijoined Lt. Alden, and was allthis time negotiating with .he natives on shore. His boat's crew and Midshipman Henry were withhim. He landed with his boat’s crew inthe first place, and finding that the na- tives would not make hima of the mised, but asked more that he was able to excl them, he sent off acanoe to Lt. Alden’s boat to get a hatch- et and other things. On the return of the canve, Midship- man Henry went tothe shore in it, he having volunteered and obtained the consent of Lt. Alden to go. This was previous to the chief's escape. As quick as this hostage escaped from the boat an endeavor was made to re-c him. In the meantime it was discovered that the party were engaged on shore fighting. The natives had in- creased irom aheut twenty to over a hundred, having been secreted in the bushes close to the beach. Timme- diately relinquished the chase for the hosta; \d putmy boat in for the shore, accompanied by Lt. Alden, and com. menced a random firing at the natives. There were many of them wading out towards the boats. Several of them were seen to fail, and were dragged off by their compan- ions. The natives retreated as we advanced. Our bo soon took the coral, and we jumped overboard, and waded tothe shore. On arriving there we found the bodies of Lt. Underwood and Midshipman Henry on the beach close tothe water. Midshipman Henry was entirely naked, and Lt. Underwood had on a pair of thick canvass trousers they could not tear off. They were both wounded in the head. Allthe crew were wounded, and one of the men was crazy on the beach. Q—Did you inquire of the persons in the canoes, men- tioned in your direct examination, whether they belonged to the Island of Malolo, so a8 to be sure you did not injure the wrong yersons ? e —Yes, sir; and they informed us they belonged the Q.—Did not Lieut. Wilkes endeavor to restrain the sea- men from killing the inhabitants of Malolo ? A.—He did. Q.—Have you not expressed a belief that Lieut. Wilkes was moderate in his punishment of the inhabitants ? A.—I thought so at the time, rnd have often said so. I received an order from Lieut. Wilkes on that day to cease hostilities, and felt mortified, because I thought they had not been punished enough. Q.—Has not the conduct of Lieut. Wilkes, so far as it has come under your observation, been marked with for- bearance (o the natives; and has not the attacks uniform- ly been to further the objects of the Exploring Ex- pedition, suppress hostilities, and for the protection of commerce ?

Q.—What did you do in pursuance of that order 7 A.—I hove the vessel to at the island mentioned i1 the order, and left in a boat with the scientific gentlemen for the pu of effecting a londing. I pulled to a point where I thought a would be practicable. 1 was met on the beach by a party of natives, who opposed my landing. I remained there two hours, and then returned to the vessel and attempted to land at another point. There we succeeded in landing, and had proceeded but a short distance from the beach, when we were met by a large arty of natives, who forced us to return to our boats — While getting bee ane into the boats, Lt. Wilkes pulled into the surt, and thinking he might want my assistance, asked him if he wanted me; he ssid no, andtold me to put the gentlemen on board. ‘I proceeded to do so, and pulled towards the schoonor, which was about a mile io windward. We arrived on board just before sundown, and ery tic! run down tothe Vincennes.

W. ordered meto heave to; he was going to send some gentle- men on boerd, I wasthen in a ition which rendered immediate obedience to his orders improper, for I should ave fouled the vessel. Lieut. Wilkes, in avery short e after, hailed me again, and said, ‘heave to—héave to, ” [stood on, to get a proper position, and Lt. Wilkes again hailed, ordering me in an toneto heaveto. I hove to, and lay athwart his hawser; his jibboom was over the vessel. Lieut. W. a) on the fo: le, and ex- claimed, “I never saw any Ne like it—what do you mean, sir ?—what do you mean 7” I answered that I had hove to in obedience to his repeated order. He sang out again, “ Inever orderedyyou to heave to under my tow.” I thought I had only heard part of what he said, and I de- manded to know what he said; he left the forecastle with- out answering. Q.—Did you hear all he did my? A.—I don’t know—I think I did not. By Court.—What was the relative position of the Vincennes and the Flying Fish, when you was first order- ed to heave to? A.—1 was abreast her mizzen chains, to the leeward ,and had I brought the vessel to then, I believe she would al- most immediately have fouled. Q.—Was there auy =. to prevent you from bearing off, and getting to leeward A.—There was not; but I considered it improper to heave to to leeward, as the schooner to leeward and the ship to windward, and I should have increased my distance, Q.—State whether you could not have obtained a more favorable position by Leif ahead of the Vincennes, and going to windward of her A.—I could have obtained a more favorable position, and executed the order in less time.

A.—Gib and foresail, the mainsail was disabled, The Jupox Apvocars read a letter from Lieutenant Wilkes to Lieutenant Pinkney, dated 24th September, 1839, in connection with’ the 4th specification of the 1st charge of “ Additional Charges.” (‘This letter was intro- duced on the trial of Lieutenant Pinkney, and published in the Herald.) The Jupar Apvocarte then read the following letter, at the request of Mr. Hamilton, im order that it might be placed on the record of the court. mir VINCENNES, ‘i ‘ALLAo, Jume 22, 1839, “Sin :— “The Flying Fish, under your command, will be re- ported ready for sea this evening. * Respectfully yours, “CHARLES WILKES, “Com.

Schooner Flying Fish.” The Jupce Apvocarx then read, in connection with the 4th specification, a letter from Lieutenant Wilkes to Lieutenant Pinkney, dated September 24, 1839, declining to be bound by uny other than written cominunications. Jvpce Apvocats.—State if you made an apptication at Apia for a boatswain’s mate, and what was the conversa- tion between Lieutenant Wilkes and yourself? A.—On the 4th November, 1939, | called on Lieutenant Wilkes, in obedience to an order he had sent me the even- ing previous. On entering his cabin he reprimanded me for not having reported the arrival of the schooner to him. After this, he told me I was to go to sea that mornnin, and ired of me what I wanted. I requi; tion, and a call for a survey and some bread. I then told him I wanted five men, I had one in confinement, and the other four were sick, and that { would be glad if he would give mea boatswain’s mate. He toid me I must get volun- teers to supply the deficiency of the crew, and that he didn’t think a boatswain’s mate was necessary. I told him it was sometimes necessary to punish the men, and that I then had a man in irons for refusing to punish another. He told me he had none to give me, but I might rate one of the crew. Itold him there was not a suitable person on board, but I had a man on board the Peacock who had once been in the schooner, and was anxious to return to her, and that I thought he would mak boatswain’s mate. Tasked him if I should get him ; know, he would see about it, and gave me factor, answer. This was about the man, and not the rate. The man I alluded te on board the Peacock came on board that day, and I offered him the rate. This he declined, and said that the duty was able, und he would rather re- tain the situation he had. When I arrived at Sydney, I applied to Lieutenant Wilkes, for an addition of two men to my crew, one of whom I stated was to be rated boat- swain’s mate. Lieutenant Wilkes, when, I called on him a day ortwo after, at Fort McQuarrie, told me he had re- ceived my letter, and jusked tie why 1 asked for the cx- change of some men mentioned in the letter, and why 1 asked for an addition to the crew. [ explained my reasons to him, and he suid he had no more men to give me. | told him I wished to rate one of the seamen as wails mate. He then asked me some questions about Parker; he said I must rate him, that he had none to give me. The Juvor Apvocate then read a letter from Lieute- nant Wilkes to Lieutenant Pinkney, dated “ Bay of Islands, 1 5, 1840,” refusing to allow him to rate a boatswain, which was published on Lieutenant Pink: ial. In connection with the fifth specification, ihe Juvcx Av- yocate read three letters from Lieutenant Wilkes to Lieu- tenant Pinkney, all dated April 5, 1840, refusing to pay re- veral charges for repairs to the Flying Fish, &e., “not deemed necessary,” and “ articles procured without requi- sitions,” which were published on Lieutenant Pinkney’s al. The Juoce Apvocars next renee’ the account of James R. Clenden, U. 8. Consul, dated Bay of Islands, New Zealand, April 6, 1840, for repairs done to the Flying Fish, rovisions, firewood, &c Coa by ba pees : .

Wilkes allowed $103 3, which was expended for provisions and firewood, but refused to allow the re- mainder of the bill, amounting to $499 33; Lieut. Johnson was therefore arc to pay this balance from his own ket, which he did, and the receipt of Purser R. R. Wal- iron for the amount, was also read by the Judge Advocate. Jupor Apvocate.—State if some of those articles charged in that account, and paid by you, were not used by other vessels of the squadron. ‘A.—Yes, half a barrel of pitch i sent to the Porpoise, and it was used by her. Questioned by the Covnt—Was Lieut. Wilkes at the Bay of Islands at the time of making these repairs? if not, where was he, and was the schooner fit for sea without them? A.—Lieut. Wilkes was notthere. I arrived at the Bay of nds on the 10th of March; Lieut. Wilkes came in from Sydney about the 23d. The repairs were made be- fore rrived, and the schooner would not have been fit for sea withoutthem. She had been on a southern cruise to the Antarctic circle. Jupoe Apvocate.—State what you know of the first specification of the third charge. A—I sent that eet to Lieut. Wilkes at Mataval Bay, between the 16th, date of the report, and the 20th of Apvocate here read a letter from Lieut. Wilkes, dated at Honolulu, Oct. 20, 1840, to the Secretary of the Navy, in which he mentions the transinission of the charges against him by Lieut. Pinkney and Assistant Sur. geon Guillou. The Junox Apvocate rend a letter from Lieut. Wilkes to Lieut. Pinkney, dated 18th April, 1840, suspending him from the command of the wm dag in consequence of disrespectful communications to him. Jones Avvocate.—State what you know of the third specification of this charge. A.—I was suspended on the 19th of April, 1840, and re- mained on board the Flying Fish until the time the Pea- cock joined the squadron at ae faboo. I wenton board the Peacock on the 2d May. the 12th of May I-was onshore at Labuka, in company with Lieut. Underwood, While engaged in bathing, an order was delivered to me by Mr. Blair from Lieut. Wilkes, directing me to go on board the ship immediately. Ididso.

This was about the 2d of October, Thad twice been per- mitted to go on shore at the Fejee islands, after Dr. Palmer had seen Mr Hudson.

The evidence was read over to the witness, and the Court adjourned till Wednesday morning 10 e’clock. From Central Amenica.—The brig Francis, Captain Roberts, has arrived in thirty days from Rio Salada, in Central America. We learn from Cap- tain Roberts, that the port of San Juan was block- aded, on the 8th of July, by the British Mosp of war Hector, in consequence of alleged insults offered to certain British subjects, as well asthe imprisonment of several British residents. Captain Roberts was off that place en the 10th of July, and tried to enter the harbor, but was prevented by the sloop of war. The blockadersdemand $200,000 as an indemnity for the wrongs received, when, in fact, the place cannot muster two hundred thousand cents. Capt. Roberts thinks the only compensation they could obtain, would be the loss of their crew, as it was rather sickly. The brig America, hence for San Juan, was off the port, but could not enter, in conse- quence of the blockade. Latest From Mexico.—The schooners Ringgold and Emblem, arrived at New Orleans August 12th with $19,000 in specie, and the following items of news from Matamoras :— Matamoras, Ji bY 11, 1842. By an express, we learn that 400 Texians have been defeated in their are Lipantillan, by the combined torces of Colonels Antonio Canel and Cayetano Montero.

Jt says, that since the electidh. Carlin has resolved to comply with the requ’ ofthe Governor of Missouri, and deliver up Joe Smith and A. P. Rockwell. The Sheriff of Han- cock county, elected at the receag election, being a Mormon, the writ was placed in he hands of the Sheriff of Adams county, The Sherif repaired to Nauvoo and arrested Smith and Rockwell, when a $ corpus was issued by some of the Nauvoo au- thorities, and tl pape: taken out ef the Sher- iff'e custody and released. The Sheriff had just re- turned to Quincy and reported the fact. Our inform- ant says, that it was currently reported, while he was writing, thet Gov. Carlin was then in the act of issuing orders calling out the military, to enforce the arrest, and it was expected they would maich on the day following for Nauvoo. “Our correspondent, however, expresses the confident belief that when the troops reach the city, Joe and his colleague will be among the missing.

Anacet or Genman Jews.—Three German Jews, named Abraham Gunst, Jacob Gunst, and Mortz Silver, were arrested yesterday by Officers Sweet and Frame, in the store of Bowen and McNamee, while in the act of stealing two pieces of lace, valued at $30. They had entered the Store, as they stated, for the purpose of purchasing ds, when one of them was detected with @ piece in his hat and another with a piece under his coat. They entered no plea of defence under examination, but stated that they could not understand the English language.

The chi should never have gbeen entertained, as Adolphus Mincho, Levi Heine, and Israel Hallenstein, all testify that the character of the girl was very bad previous to the time of the alleged charge. Suppes Decease.—Mr. James Brower, of 22 Clark Street, of rather intemperate habits, retired to reston Mon- day night at the usual hour, and on the return of his wife, about one o’clock at night, from a neighbor's, where she had been on a visit, she found him dead in his bed. The Coroner held an inquest, anda post mortem examination was made by Dr. E. F. Ring, but the {ary returned a ver- dict of “death from congestion of the in, produced by causes unknown to the jurors.” It was ascertained that he had taken three cents worth of laudanum the eveuing revious to his death, but as he was inthe habit of using ¢ drug, it is not supposed that that was the direct cause of death, although it may have hastened his end.

(Correspondence of the Herald.) _ Wasutneron, Monday, 3P. M. Prospect of a ‘Tariff—Explosion, The House are ina fair way to pass the vetoed tariff bill, without distribution, It was reported to the House, and the report of the committee concur- red in, yeas 102, noes 99, The question was then taken on engrossment, and lost by a} tie vote—the speaker going in the negative. Mr. Tuomrson of Indiana moved a reconsider- ation, which was carried. The Senate has been engaged all the session upon matters of much interest to individuals, but of no public importance—such as pensions, private claims, and the question of an appropriation for a lighthouse on the Mississippi! There are a couple of treaties, one with Texas, and another with one ofthe Indian tribes, and about forty nominations still before the Senate ; but the legislative business is nearly brought to a close. It seems to be generally understood that the fol- lowing Senators voted against the treaty :—Mesers, Buchanan and Sturgeon, of Pennsylvania ; Messrs. Benton and Linn, of Missouri; Messrs. Allen and Tappan, of Ohio; Mr. Bagby, of Alabama; Mr. Con- rad, of Louisiana; Mr. Smith, of Indiana ; Mr. McRoberts, of Illinois; Mr. Wilcox, of New Hamp- shire, were absent. Twenty-five whigs and fourteen democrats voted for the treaty. ‘Wasutxeron, Monday Evening. Passage of the Tariff through the House— Prostration of the Whigs. The tariff bill has finally passed the House. The most intense excitement prevailed in the House du- ting the passage through the several stages to the consummation. Many of the Distribution men yielded at last, and several from New-York and Pennsylvania voted for the bill. The Speaker, Mr. White, behaved like a man of nerve throughout.— Twice he defeated the bill by his single vote, taking the responsibility without doubt or hesitation 3 but it was saved by changes of the Whigs, On the final passage, the vote stood, ayes 105—noes 102. Its fate is extremely doubtful in the Senate. ‘The shuffling and indecision of the Western and Southern whigs was most discreditable to them— they have been driven from the ground which they assumed withso much parade and ostentation— they have shrunk from responsibility, after boasting of their independence and their determination to re- sist the President to the last extremity, and on their own showing, surrendered every thing to what they call executive dictation. The policy of the party is abandoned, and not a vestige 1s now left of the mea- sures of the extra session, but the bankrupt law.— The clamorous oppsition of a portion of the whigs, their insolent denunciation of the President, and the ease with which they were driven trom their position and principles will form matter for instruc- tive eomment hereafter.

Now, since the tariff bill amended has again passed the House, the anxiety to know its fate in the Senate and with the President, that prevails here is indiscribable ; to-day will probably relieve their anxieties.
