NEW HERALD. Wow York, Sunday, Webronry 1, 1048, Tur MasquenapE.—We give on our first page, a description, with engravings, of a bal costume,which took place in the upper partof the city, somewhere between the East and North Rivers. But the par- ticular locality is of no sort of consequence. In the words of the publishers of the fashionable novels, at the circulating libraries, we can only say of this description that it isa fancy sketch, “ founded on facts.” If it do not strictly apply to any particular ball or masquerade that has taken place in New York, it may be regarded with perfect propriety a8 an aceurate and faithful picture of all the most brilliant proceedings at all the various balls and masquerades which have been given, and we dare say that the patrons of this very respectable and moral species of amusement, will be able to recog- nize the truth of many little touches. No one can for a moment doubt that the una- voidable tendency of these affairs, is to create dis* order in society—to afford opportunities for guilt— to open wide to the thoughtless and the erring, the avenues to infamy andruin, There is alaw against masquerades, imposing a fine we believe of $1000. But that of course would not operate as a prohibi- tion. It would be very easy to take the Park Theatre, get up a masked ball, and with the proceeds pay the fine, pay $1000 for a supper, and havetwo or three thousand dollars profit into the bargain. ‘We had thought of calling the notice of the Legis- lature to these affairs. But on the whole, we think that Signor Palmo will be the most efficient con- servative of the public morals in this case. The opera will effectually suppress the masquerade.— When a refined, elegant, intellectual amusement is offered, all persons of taste and genuine respect- ability will assuredly prefer it to one of very ques- tionable morality. The opera will flourish, and masquerades be lett to the appropriate patronage of men without character, fools without brains, and women without virtue. Sepvetion, Anortion anv InranticipE.—Re- cent events have developed the increase of these offences against the laws, tending to show a state of morals in this city almost unparalleled at any former period. The most recent case is that of John Jones, button maker, of 26 Platt street, against whom the Grand Jury of the Court of General Sessions have returned an indictment for procuring abortion. The unfortunate girl, who made the representations before that body, had formerly been in the employ of Jones at his esta- blishmentin Platt street, where he also has other females engaged. She is represented as an inno- cent, confiding, and pretty female, of about seven- teen years of age, name 1 Catherine Costello ; and her plain, unvarnished story of seduction, and sub- sequent abortion, as detailed before the Grand Jurors, caused many a tear to trickle down the cherks of the father and the brother, as she related it with heart-broken sighs and exhibitions of sor- row and distress, The increase of these offences, that in almost every case render the body and mind of the unfor- tunate sufferer, ever after, a mere blank in exist- ence, calls loudly for the enactment of additional laws by our Legislature, rendering the offence of seduction punishable by criminal, instead of a civil penalty. From seduction follows the offence Laren ap Imrontant rrom Tras. ~The Nep. tune arrived at New Orleans 29th ult. with advices from Galveston to the 27th. President Houston has vetoed a joint resolution which wed the Congress, requiring the President and heads of Meertmests to Temove to Austin, the capi al, as the Sen- of the mblic. Con- ate and Representatives declare, tradictory ta prevail with regard to the result of the mission appointed on the part of to treat with Gen, ‘Wolland other Mexicans. The accounts received by letters from Vera Cruz, of the military and naval preparations making at that place, | for some unknown purpose, were thought of sufficient importance to be made the basis of a communication from President peeps fn attention of Congress to the condition of the harbor of Galveston, with an estimate of the smount which would be necessary to repair the for- ions, procure communication, and put the town in a state of defence. It isthe intention of the citizens of Galveston, also, although oe consider an attack upon the island, by Mexico, as hardly probable, not to disre- ex entirely the warnings which have been sent them, mut to be in readiness for whatever may happen. An amendment to the tariff’ bill has been proposed in the Senate, the effect of which, if adopted, will be to fix a du- ty of fifteen per cent ad valorem on all articles except ar- dent spir'ts, wines, and a few articles which are aow ad- mitted free of duty. The Housten Telegraph of the 24th inst. has the fol- lowing statement :—One of the members of Congress at Washington, received a letter by the last mail from the United States, from a gentleman who resides in South Carolina, announcing that a letter from Washington was received about the 25th of December, in which it was sta- ted positively that a resolution had been passed in the Senate of the United States by a majority of two-thirds of the members present, for the annexation of Texas to the vf the Information contained in the following paragra in the information cont in the fol from the same paper, we have more faith: dhe ph “Much anxiety has been manifested to ascertain the views of the President and of the members of go, ime ned Presi- relative to the question of annexation. We ment some weeks since that we were confident that the dent was secretly, if not openly, in favor of this measure. ‘We are now happy to state that this opinion was correct. Welearn that the dispatches latety sent to the United States, by C, Raymond, Fsq., related to this subject. It ‘Mr. Upshur,the American Sec: of State, eral weeks since, addressed @ note to Mr. Van Zandt, our Charge at Washington, informing him that he desir- ed to open negociations with him relative to the annexa- tion of Texas to the Union. Mr. Van Zandt not having received any instructions from his government relative to this subject, despatched Mr. Raymond to this country to obtain instructions. It was ly the neglect of Mr. Van Zandt to return a definite answer to Mr. Upshur that caused the rt to be circulated in Washington, that our overnment declined to negaciate forthe annexation. In e meantime Mr. Raymond arrived here, received in- structions from the President, directing Mr, Van Zandt to withdraw all propositions for the annexation of Texas to the United States, unlesa there were a certvinty that it could be effected; alleging as his reasons for this course, that ifthe negociations proceeded, England would with- draw her valuableservices. Thatjhe could not compro- mise the national honor by playing a double game with England and the United States; by holding out offers to the latter that would be exceedingly offensive to the for- mer. What course Mr.Van Zandt will take upon the sub- ject, we are unable to conjecture; but it seems not impro- bable thet he will renew the negociations, if he receives assurances from Mr. Upshur that there is a reasonable prospect that the measure will be effected.. Whether there isa “certainty” of success cannot bo determined while it rests upon the future conduct of fallible men. Congress, on the other hand, has adopted decisive measures. Wo un- derstand that a circular haw been addressed bythe members of both Houses of Congress, to the members of the Con- gress of the United States who are friendly to Texas, de- claring that they believe that at least nine-tenths of the ‘people of Texas would most cheerfully be willing that our government should embrace any overtures from the United States, having for their object the political annex- ation of Texas, ona footing in all respects equal with the other States of the Union.’ We learn that this circular has been signed by every member of Congress except one; and has been forwarded to Mr. Gilmer, of Virginia, to be presented to the Congress of the United States. QurCon- gress, in taking this course, is hut aoting in accordance with the express instructions of the people of Texas, who in 1836, when they adopted the Constitution, by vote instructed the officers elected under the Constitution, to annex Texas to the United States. We consider, there- fore, that our government is compelled by the sovereign voice of the people, to accept any overtures for annexa- tion made by the government of the Unitod States, when- ever the opportuny is offered.” ‘The Gulveston Civilian of the 27th Inst. gives the fol- lowing item:— ‘We learn that an American vessel has been seized at Sabine, and, with her cargo, retained for adjndication for an attempt to evade the revenue laws by carrying a cargo of abortion; and, if unsuccessful, then the crime of infanticide closes the two previous acts, in order to cover the shame of the seducer and his victim. The decision in the case of Amelia Norman shows in a broad light that the feelings of jurorg on this subject are swayed to a great extent by the all powerful influence of public opinion. It is this avalanche that all charged with these offences must bear themselves up against in future. It is this ordeal through which they must pass, and if innocent, we hope they may pass uninjured, but if guilty the majesty of the law should be sustained as an example to all future violators. The recent case of the Presbyterian minister, Judd, of Brooklyn, charged with the seduction of his servant girl, aged only eleven years, has caused great excitement in that city as well as in Newark and Paterson, New Jersey, where he was formerly stationed. He has escaped, and the vengeance of the law therefore remains unsatisfied. It is time that the legislature of this State made some movement in this matter. The offence of seduction, clearly proved, should be made a crime, and State prison offence or a misdemeanor at least, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentsary. The fear of such public exposure will tend to deter those from the commission of this offence who now practice their arts with success, and boast of conquest. If deprivation of property—af paltry pelfis to be punished with incarceration in a prison, is not the cool, deliberate, calculating villain who, under the disguise of friendship and professed af- fection, destroys the virtue, the peace, and finally blasts the future happiness of an unfortunate con- fiding girl, still more guilty, and still more deserv- ing of that punishment than the miserable shirtless thief who robs perhaps to hide his nakedness, or supply the longings of a starving appetite? The inefficiency of the existing laws to puuish this offence, has caused avengement on the part of | w the relatives or friends of those injured, that should be exercised by the law alone, and it is perhaps the fear of this avengement alone that deters many a ce- ducer from the accomplishment of his purpose. We live in a land of laws; we are people who profess to be governed by laws, and yet the exercise of a wrong in violation of all law, even to the destruc- tion of life, has been sustained by jury after jury, when committed to avenge the seduction of an un- fortunate sister or hapless daughter. It is therefore evident that additional legislation is necessary to correct existing evils, and we call upon the delegation from this city to show their gallantry in defence of the sex at the earliest pe- yiod. The manwho makes the first move upon this subject will receive the thanks and the warm expressions of gratitude of every female among his constituency, and what man can desire more than the heartfelt applause of such advocates? Mr. Winter’s Cremicat Pamrines, which ‘at- tracted so much attention during their stay in this city (previous to the accident by fire in the Granite Building) have been drawing full and fashionable audiences for some time past in the city of Brook- lyn. The proprietor has, in the meantime, been engaged in reproducing the one then lost, represent- ing the Milan Cathedral, which was a decided fa- vorite with all who visited it, from its peculiar beau- ties and effects, amd now offers it to the public.— See advertisement. Tux Two Ferrres.—A fine new boat was Jaunched in this city on Friday, by Bishop and Simonsen, for the Fulton Ferry Company ; this ferry is therefore much improved. A new steamer for the Cunard Atlantic Ferry is on the stocks, and will soon be launched; that ferry will then be improved. The price of passage over the Fulton ferry has beca reduced to two cents; that over the Ailantic remains at $125. Tre Maonouta Bani given on Friday evening at National Hall, is said to have eclipsed any of the previous efforts of the managers. It is rare that such a mixture of political antipodes were ever seen on one floor, and yet all was as harmonious as the music was excellent, and the ladies beau- tifat. Streuear [nvtan Stane.—Che-muck-cur ty Pie-she-kee, Kee-o-kush, Ma-ma-man-o-way, and several other of the Pottawotamie and Fox Indians are in town. They hold a grand council in the ‘Tabernacle to-morrow evening, and will exhibit a curious savage spectacle to the civilized portion of this city Or Covrse.—The tine brigs Macon, Capt. Lewis, Georgiana, Capt. Bedell; and Moon, Capt. Hayes, recently beat the mail in running from this city to of 300 bales of ‘Texas cotton to New Orleans without hav- ing cleared at the Custom House,the object of the attempt being to smuggle the cotton into New Orleans as the pro- duct of the United States, Another vessel, we learn, suc- ceeded in getting off without a clearance, With a cargo of cotton, but information has been forwarded to New Or- leans which will lead to the seizure of both the vessel and cargo, and the forfeiture of both for this attempt to evade the revenue laws. ‘The revenne collected at the Custom House in Galves- ton from Int November to the 21st instant, was $51,839 42, and will probably reach $55,000 for the quarter, which expires with the month. The amount collected last year forthe corresponding quarter was $26,450 11, or less by one-half than that of the present. At this rate the duties collected at Galveston the coming year will equal those of the whole republic for the past. ‘The fate of the Navy is explained by the annexed very brief and pithy correspondence:— Extract of afletter from the commander of the naval station at Galveston:— To tue, Hon. Secretary oF Wan anv Marinx:— Sir—I am very sorry tomake known to the Department that after today’ I shall have only two men on board, in consequence of not having the necessary provisions and money to pay them off.

Com. ‘The Houston Telegraph of the 20th, in aletter from Washington, says:— Com. Moore arrived here on Friday last, and presented his petition to both Houses, accompanied with a book, praying the honorable Congress to give his conduct, touching the navy, the most rigid investigation. Nothing has yet been done on his case. If Congress take upon itself to organize into a court martial upon his case, it will necessarily be kept here some weeks r than it otherwise would have been It was expected before he arrived, that Congress would have Sabie on the 23d inst. or so soon as the appropriation hnll passed. City Intelligence. Police=Saturday.—House Breaxers.—These nes are gradnally creeping into prominent notice. A fellow named William Dixon, who says he is a house carpenter of 111 South street, was arrested while in the act of carry- ing away a quantity of carpenter’s tools, belonging to William Kent, of 135 Walker street. He was locked up for trial. .—The stationery store of Thomas W. Strong, mtered on the 7th instant, by forcing nd silver pencil cases and other ar- ticles stolen, valued at $47. Two of the young rogues have been arrested and the others are in the eyes of that vinta police officer Emanuel Joseph, of the Fourth Yard. Coroner’s Office—Saturday.—Svicir.—An inquest was held on the body of Auguste M. Robinson, leather dealer, of 64 West Broadway, who had committed suicide the night previous, On the investigation it was ascer- tained that the deceased had been laboring under a strange delusion for several weeks past, and had indulged to excess in drinking wine and brandy. He had imagined that his house was about to be entered, at night and day, by men who desired to rob him and take his life, and he had therefore prepared himself with pistols and'a double barrelled gun for defence. On Friday evening he retired to his room, and a short time afterwards a report of a gun was heard in that portion of the house. On application at the door it was found locked on the inside, and on being broken open the deceased presented a shocking exhibi- tion. He had placed one of the barrels of the gun in his mouth aud then fired it, the contents carrying off the top of his skull and scattering his brains about the ig He nd has ved to hay i been commi poring under partial insanity, produced by excessive drink.

Amusements Cnatuam Cincus.—The public now appreciate the efforts of the managers, and every night the house is crowded to excess, The greatest card yet on the tapis. To-morrow night forthe first time the grani hibition of the Pony Races will be given. Mrs. Go will perform a grand Mezzo act, in which she will give a variety of changes.

We have but little ofinterest going on just now in this city, and were it not for the occasional balls at Congress Hall and oyster suppers at the Governor’s House, a living here would not be bearable. I fre- quently wish the Governor had some two or three thousand more offices left him to give away, that the rich scenes of last winter might be revived and Albany again made a place of life. ° In legislation, matters progress but slowly. The Committee on Constitutional Reform have made their report, consisting of three or four amend- ments, which is about the extent which the com- mittee is prepared to go in this matter. Hoffman looks on and acquiesces in these movements, but to my knowledge it is to lull them into a confident repose, from which they will be startled when least aware of it, by the introduction of his bill for a Convention ; and as things now look, it would not be very surprising if he should find force sufli- cient to carry his darling project. Thave promised you a sketch of the prominent men in the Legislature—their standing, talunts and influence. Let me begin with the “Old Admiral,” ashe is facetiously called; a name given him in Congress, when Chairman of the Naval Committee, because of his opposition to the recommendations ofthe Navy Department to create the je of ad- mirals in the service. Well, then, the Admiral is about fifty years old, five feet eight or nine inches in heighth, of a very spare frame, square shoulders, one higher than the other, and upon which rests a large and splendidly developed head, covered with thick hair, almost white, but which falls upon his back and around his neck in jong and curls. The dress of the Admiral is like his charac- ter, sui generis, consisting of a coat, some- thing the color of his hair, pantaloons made of the same material, and a double-bre: black cloth vest, with but a single button to told it together. This is the outward Admiral, as he is strolling through the House, with his spectacles twirlin; round his finger, after the fashion of Willis wit his walking stick, and conversing with the mem- bers, or moping over the bills on the Clerk’s table. An interesting debate is going on—*Mr. aker,”” is heard from the centre of the House, or at the corner, or somewhere else, for the Admiral has no seat—and immediately you see the little man, spec- tacles in hand, Retting 8 position where all may be enabled to see him. Hisexordium isslow, distinct, and disposed to create mirthfulness in the House— his head is much bent, resting upon his breast, and but little of the face is to be seen. That is through with—he seizes upon the argumentative points of the subject—now look at the man as he warms into the discussion, tearing from and throwing aside the reasonings of his adversary as though they were but play things for him to handle, and it only for the amusement. of the House. | He is not the same person—he 1s full six feet in heighth—his pier- cing black eyes tell you of the mind which they reflect—his Grecian tace is all expression—his lips come together at the close of each sentence with a firmness calculated to heighten the effect of the en semble—every eye is upon him—there is no pausing in his epeech—no stopping for words or ideas, they come aé fast as he can give utterance to them—on he leaps from point to point, from argument to ar- gument, until nature gives way,sand the old man victorious, is forced into his seat. A minute passes before the House recovers itself, when a ‘Mr. Speaker,” is again heard, and the Chair announces “the gentleman from Oswego.” ‘This is Michael Hoffman, the generous, kind, frank, intelligent, and all powerful Michael Hoffman, rnd what do you think of him? A petition was presented last Tuesday from a few capitalists of your city, requesting the legisla- ture to instruct our members in Congress to vote a pate to them of some fifteen millions of dollars,for losses which they sustained some filty or sixty years since in the seizures of their vessels and pro- perty by the Freneh. It was opposed by some on the ground that the legislature was not the proper place for these claimants to press their cause ; a majority thought different and it was referred to a select committee, having for its chairman Major Davezac. Do you know anything about this mat- tert Report says here, that it is as peculating piece of business, but whether true or not I am not pre- pared to state. It might, however, be well to look into the matter. Y 1 am informed that all the members of the legis- lature have signed a paper to the President of the United States for the appointment of Chancellor Walworth for the vacant judgeship in the Rupreme Bench, and it is here thought that he is to be the successful man after all. The whigs are in great glee at the failure of Spencer, but. curse the folly of the Senate in their indiscriminate rejection, as it is calculated in the end to injure them. Jor Sarr, Ir. Mobile. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Monn, Aua., Jan. 3ist, 1844. Literature and Piety—Theatricals and Ole Bull— Miltary Balls and Beautiful Cigar Girls—Fall in Cotton, §&¢. Dear Bennett— Considering your valuable journal as the chroni- cle of all important events that transpire in this Republic of ours, I have attempted to give its nu- merous readers a brief description of the sayings and doings of Mobile, which has so rapidly grown up in the last ten years, not only in strength and beauty, but in refinement of society. The pulpits of the various churches are adorned by pious and talented pastors; the only rivalry ex- isting between them is as to who can perform the most good; itis to be hoped those gentlemen will unite in removing a great evil—I allude to the de- secration of the Sabbath by those who, regardless of all religious or moral duty, keep their stores open for the purpose of trading and trafficking. 1 understand there is a law prohibiting such prac- tices; why it is not enforced I know not. We have had avariety of amusements; at one time this season there was in- operation two theatres, two circusses, concerts, balls‘and cotillion parties: The operatic troupe, consisting of the Seguins, Shrival, Archer, and Becket, fulfilled a most brilliant en gagement at the Corinthian; the crowds nightly at- tracted consisted of the beauty and fashion of the city, and Mobile never sent out such a gallaxy of fair ones to bestow their smiles upon those who mr the boards of this little theatre. Ole Bull has completed his engagement, and made a_ failure as regards creating excitement sufficiently to fill the purses of the managers of the Mobile theatre. This was owing to raising the price of admission— an act which very correctly met with the decided disapprobation of the citizens. ‘To-morrow night comes off the ball in honor of the Governor; it is a military affair got up by the Ist Volunteer regiment. Many young men come here in the full expecta- tion of obtaining situations, but, alas! how many are compelled to leave in despair, and almost dimeless. These remarks are equally applicable to mechanics, for the season for bail ling is when Mr. Yellow omg ote Us a visit. | _New York has boasted of her cigar girls, but Mo- bile is in possession of two, to be found in Dauphin street, bestowing their smiles upon the numerous purchasers of their commodities; rumor says a young clerk sacrificed his situation at the shrine of their love. a . As regards politics, Mobile is decidedly whig, and that Tf are using every effort to carry the State. any of the friends of Mr. Calhoun will support Harry of the West in preferance to the sage Saat Nae lattery b fe Our city has latterly been infested by a of [reer and burglars; their OpayehOnn. have pen curtailed ey by the police; the State <a to pay many of their passages to tumpka. Cotton has fallen j cent on the pound. Alabama money 4 to 5 per cent discount. ‘The market stocked with dry goods and provisions. AncuipaLp. We- Mr. Epitor:—Will you not request from some one of your numerous correspondents, and publish, the opinion of the court granting a new trial to Thomas Marsh, recently convicted of muder at Newark, New Jersey? The power, of grantm; new trials is, perhaps, necessarily incidental to all courts of original Utada gl but the exercise of this power is one of the most dangerous duties any court is ever called upon to discharge. And in the case of Marsh, to grant him a new trial, for the reason assigned, (i. e. the alleged sudden sickness of the senior counsel,) strikes me as being not only wholly indefensible on principle, but the tome insult ever yet known offered to the intel- igence of a jury, who are sworn to render their verdict upon the evidence produced to them, and not on the distorted and one-sided views of coun- sel, and when deliberate conviction of the guilt of the accused, founded on the evidence, is arbitrari- ly set aside, because, forsooth, one of the counsel 1s too ill to address them, and their verdict was made up without the aid of his remarks. If this law, prevail, | should like to know who will ever again be convicted in a capital case. Verily, “in a multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Hire two, let one act sick at the critical moment and the business is accomplished. Yours, {Correspondence of the Herald.) New Ontzans, Jan. 29, 1844, 2: M. Election of a Senator—Joint Ballot and Joint of Meat—The Cotton Market. Dear Sim:— Bhe legislature of the State met in j this day at 120’clock, M., ‘and elected gon Senator, in the place of Judge Porter, deceased over his opponent, Gen. Walker. Mr. Johnson is a whig, but not a violent party man. His election was brought about by 2 democrats voting tor John- son, and 2 whigs voting blank. Had the 2 demo- crats vi with their party they would have elect- ed Walker. Woodsworth, one of the democratic members who voted for Johnson, last evening in the bar room of the St. Charles, ‘being rather how come you so, damned his eyes but that he would vote for Johnson. He has been faithful to his oath, and gave it strong. ing of importance. The cotton market has not advanced a mill since my last. ‘Total amount on hand to date, 192,100 bales.

Death of a Worthy Lady—Business—Libel Suits— Boarding Schools—Hotels—Iron Steamers. Since my last a number of events have taken place, interesting in themselves, though not of any marked importance in a social or political point of view. Death has been very busy and has been car- tying off one or two persons, and amongst them the wife of our excellent minister, the Rev. Henry Tulleage of St. Paul’s Church. In the death of 1 this excellent lady, our community has sustained no ordinary loss; and it is doing injustice to her virtues to allow her to terminate her earthly pilgri- mage, without any tribute of ct and affection from those who knew and loved her. | But we doubt not that she is now gone to reap the rich rewards of tet good and taithful servant.” Be ye also rea- ly! We have some sleighing at last. On Friday the 2d inst., for the first time thes winter, I was ‘Deter from'’my sleep by the merry jingle of the sleigh bell. Every one ars to be taking advantage of it. Our markets for ar ber days a pee epred— luce is very low—flonr per barre} ; porl and beef, 2% to 3 cents; chk and bear Meat, 3 to5 cents per lb.; turkeys 28 cents; geese 124 cents; chickens 6} cents; and vegetables in proportion.— Withal, “times are hard,” and money, a commo- dity no longer visible ; the majority of business here being done on the trade system. So far this winter we have not had any very cold weather. The mercuryhas not yet ‘ot so low aszero; however the lake appears to be frozen over as far as the eye can reach, average thickness of the ice, twenty inches. About forty miles from this place a vessel has been discovered fast in the ice; she is about ten miles out in the lake, and smoke is daily seen to rise from her. She is probably the schoon- er New York, which was supposed to have been Lusi this fall with all hands on board. Our excellent friend and citizen, the Hon. M. Reed is expected here daily trom Was! on. The nature of his errand isto attend the trial of two editors whom he prosecuted during his election for libel. The nature of the libel is that the edi- tors charged the General, with being the cause of the burning of the steamboat Erie, and the loss of life, inasmuch as the General owned the Erie, and the turpentine which caused the fire the General was fetching to this place to paint another of ‘his boats. Now, the General is rather a clever sort of a business man, immensely rich, but not much of an aristocrat, and don’t like to be accused of killing as many men at once as was lost in the Erie. The work on the steam brig Michigan progresses slowly; however, the cabin, wardroom and steer- age, is nearly finished ; her quarters are very small; there is only six state rooms in the wardroom. 11 is thought her engines will not be entirely set up before August; she will have three masts, the fore- mast square, and the main and mizzenmast fore and aft rigged. i ‘We have now one of the best boarding schools for young ladies in the State. The principals and teuchers are two young ladies from Canada, and re- commended to the citizens ot this place very high- ly by the present Governor General of Canada:— ‘they have quite a ae school plready, and cet, once belonged to Nick Bid- harles a marble palace whic die’s bank. y There are some five hotels here, of which the Reed House isthe largest, and is built after the style of the Astor house, in New York, I beg you would’nt mention it! However, it is good for a country hotel. Colonel Roswell Rowley is “mine host.” He isa fine littlefat man, and has always a goodjoke on hand. But here is a redeeming quality; in this house the daily Herald can be seen, which, I assure you, causes a general rush ever morning.

JACKSON’S FINE. .Mr. Dayton eee resolutions of the Le- Cpl of New Jessey, instructing their nators to vote in favor ot refunding the fine. Mr. Dayton took occasion todeny the binding force of those instructions. The Senate was never institu- ted to be a Mahometan chess board on which Sen- ators were by others made to play a game as suits their pleasure. He went on at le! to give his views upon the doctrine. of legislative instructions, for the benefit, as he said, of the New Jersey Le- gislature. 4) lala e Mr. Miuuxr also presented his like instructions from the same Lapiaiature but withheld his re- marks until the bill should be called up. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA LUNATIC ASYLUM BILI.. This bill was called up. Col. Merrick said the Lunatics of this District have hitherto been support- ed at the Maryland Hospital. He had received a communication from the principal of that hospital, stating that $3000 were not enough to cover the ex- pense. $3000 were due last 10th December, and the sum due by next 10th March, when it is expect- ed they will be removed, will be $3975. Col. M., therefore, moved to strike out ),, and insert #4000. Tt was done. Col. Merrick said the num- ber of lunatics at present supported at the Maryland Hospitalis15. | | r. Mixer said in answer to Mr. Allen, that Congress had declared twenty-five persons to be pauper lunatics. He said the only question was, who should support these pauper lunatics—Con- gress, or the district. Fifteen are supported at Baltimore —and some are jn the jails in this district. $10,000 has been appropriated by Congress for the preparation of an asylum in this district, which has been done. Money is now wanted to remove these lunatics from Mary! to this district, and to support them here, A few years since one of these very lunatics attempted to assassinate the President of the United States. He was tried for the of fence, and pronounced insane. It was his case which then originated this system. ‘The annual appropriation hereal- ter required will be about $5000. This would be a moder- ate amount for the put required te support the phys- icians, inspectors and ics. Mr, Auven claimed to as charitable as Mr. Miller, but he thought the district ought to sup) these lunatic paupers; When the matter was firat originated, all that was asked was $10,000 to fit up a building for these luna- tics. Now, it seems, we are required to support them too. The bill provides that lunatics coming from other States shall be sent back again to those States. Therefore let the district support their own lunatics. In Ohio were 145 lu- natics—annual expenses of whom about $96, lees than one-half of what is asked for the support of these lunatics. Send back to the States their own lunatics, and this dis- trict willnot have morejthan 5or 6 to sup ‘Where. as, if you give $5000 this year, yon will ask for $10,000 next year, because this number will be doubled, for all the States inthe Union will s nd their surplus lunatics to this 10 miles square, to be supported, out of the public Tse. PrCol, Mennicx said Mr. Allen certainly could not intend to accuse the neighboring States with a deliberate pur- pose to palm off upon this dictrict their own pauper luna- tics, for whose care they have made ample provisions, As to the Ohio expenses, all he had to say was that living is much cheaper in Ohio than it is here, Mr. Aten wanted to know what reason Col. Merrick had to suppose there would bea rush of lunatics to this district ifthe States did not send them here. Col. Mrnaicx said it was a fact in natural history that these poor deluded creatures were always attracted to- wards Rong and important objects—preaidents, congress- men, kings, queens, &c., like moths attracted about so many ges lights. Her Mejesty the Queen of England has had the honor of experienc: lg: to at assasai- nation from this class of people, although these attempts 4 extinguish her noble race seem likely to prove abor- ve. Mr. Haywoop would not vote for the bill, because the compensation to inspectors is not enough, if they are to be paid at all, and it is too much if they render their services asa matter of charity. Their salary will not procure the right sort of men, He therefore moved to amend to this ject—to strike out the $260 salary to the three inspectors. 2 P, M.—The debate on this bill is still progressing.

Qg- THE PACKET SHIP “OXFORD.”—The recent discovery which has been made by the Collector of this Port, that this truly fortunate and fast sailing ship had on board a quantity of smuggled goods from Liverpool, has caused no inconsiderable se m in the public mind, particularly on account of the high standing in mercantile estimation ofthe house of Goodhue, Marshall and Co., and also the unquestionable, proud and in dent jon which Captain Rathbone, es her commander, has hitherto been known to by a discriminating and an admir- ing community. The individual who could fora moment suppose, much less entertain the idea, thet any one of the high-minded and honorable gentlemen that compose the firm of ue, Marshall and Co., or the captain, who is universally esteemed for frankness, anda ctuated at tl same time by the highest sense of feeling,honor, and pri ciple, could, under any circumstance, be induced to wink at the conduct of the first mate of the ship in question, must be one of a class w! brain would find convenient deposit ina nutshell. ~ pry it is not—nay, it cannot be ossible, that any of this community should be so EiindJor destitute ofthe ordinary faculties of thought and reflection, that they could not at once perceive, that if the owners or captain of the “Oxford” participated in the least degree in the improper conduct of the second officer in command, that ship would be exposed to confiscation by o Government, and joa. too, but as it is manifest to every thinkin mind, that the mate is the guilty person, he alone shoul: be punished for being accessory to an effort which, if suc- cessful, would have cheated our Government out of a por- tion of its revenue, and perhaps contribute, in no small , to expose the parties interested in the Oxford” togreat ex ie and considerable inconvenience. It must be admitted, then, beyond all doubt or uncertainty, that the owners of the “Oxford” could not legally made liable for the conduct of a subordinate officer in a foreign port, who has already confessed that he alone is the only person on whom consequences resulting from the impropriety of the act he committed, should be visited, and not the owners, as they were perfectly inn cent of bis hevind banedtnted his instructions. One lutary effect the late development of smuggling will have is, that no more will be attempted to be smug- gled into this port, by any of the subordinate officers en- gaged on board any of our magnificent packet ships; for henceforth it will be a paramount pty. of each and eve one of our intrepid, spirited, and patriotic command. ers, to keep a watchful oye upon their respective mater, and curtail a portion of that authority which it appears ba have hitherto, as well as now, injudiciously exer- M.M, Og.
