: * | Leas—Arrempr at a Row.—The real black mail SS confederacy of journalists that we have so recently | exposed in the matter of Templeton, to the ridicule of the city, have been put to their wit’s end, and, accordingly sent out one of the concern connected with the Mirror to change the issue, by a personal attack on the proprietor of this paper. As the other papers will probably endeavor to falsify and misrep- resent the affair, I avail myself of the following tolerably fair account from the “ Evening Ledger” of yesterday afternoon:— Arrnay !— About ten o'clock, to-day, James G. Bennett and Mr. C met in Nassau street, had a small # which finally resulted ina row. Neither party wag in- jured, Mr. Bennett kept his temper, but the other gen- Ueman lost that and his hatalso, ‘The quarrel through the Mirror.

When we look round, and behold the immense power of the Island Queen, her nawes darkening every shore, and her armies garrigoning every com, tinent—when we see that power wielded for good | and glorious objects, we rejoice with exceeding joy; but when it conquers to enslave, and battles to tyran- nize, and turns kingdoms into colonies, and empires into provinces, we are bold in denouncing her | greedy and ravenous appetite, that “increases by | what it feeds on,” and the condor-like joy | with which she gluts upon and gloats over her | prey.

The Cabinet of Mr. Poltg could not escape the general fate of this law of natare, which operates equally on animated existence as on unani- mated—on cabinets as well as on cabbages. In every natural movement, open or secret, there are two forces, the positive and the negative, as we see in electricity. In every moral movemevt may be found the.game laws, and the same in religion and in politics. A division in the Cabinet, therefore, was @ thing thst might be expected, but im the pre- sent case the retirement of Mr. Buchanan, though it iscaused by the operation of that general princi- ple, yet is aided and assisted by special and tangi- ble reasons. Mr. Buchanan has fallen before the superior management and higiter influence of a clique in the Cabinet, of which Mr. Watker may be considered the head, and Ritchie and Heiss the bitorked tail.

Brooklyn Intelligence. Pounp Master, Pias ann Pourrics.—It will be recol- lected that at the last regular meeting of the Board of Common Council, the pound master of the city resigned his office. It is said that this was a step forced upon him for the purpose of regaining for certain persons high in office and authority, a popularity which has long been waning among a fe portion of the Irish voters of Brookiyn, in consequence of a warfare some time since waged against stray pigs. The result of the rigid ordi- nances that were enacted seenet strolling fers, has been a perpetual strife between their owners and’ the public officers, and all sorts of threats have been made that unless the swine could have the largest liberty | democratic votes would be at a heavy discount next spring. These gloomy forebodings have had the effect of restoring the ancieat privileges of the grunters, and the streets of Brooklyn, apart from their otherwise rally filthy condition, mayjnow compare with any stye in christendom in the hog line.

The Hudson and Berkshire Railroad Company have asked a suspension of payments to the sinking fund, on the ground that the State has permitted. en opposition line to be set up (the Albany and Boston road), which has reduced the income of the first-mentioned road from 942,000 to less than $80,000 per annum, and thus orip- pled its resources.

The trade of Saint Louis in the staple products of the Western section of the country during the past three years has been very large, and the increase from one yeer te another has been also very great. We annex a statement giving the quantity of certain articles imported into St. Louis for consumption and for exportation, in each of the past three years. The annual trade of St. Louis is estimated at $50,000,000 per annum, andits river commerce has already reached a very large amount. The registered tonnage of the pertat the close of 1845 ‘was 20,420 tons against 14,720 in 1942, showing an in- Crease of 5,700 tons in three years. In 1845, the arrivals Were 2,613, and 1844, 2,106. St. Louis is a port of entry, and the drawback bill passed during the last session of Congress, allowing merchandise to be cleared for draw back at our internal ports, will give that port a trade in that line never before experienced. The geo graphical position of St. Louis is highly favorable for carrying on an >xtensive internal commerce. situ ated in the midst of the most fertile section of country in the world, onthe shores of the most magnificent river in the world, and near the mouth of one only second in size and importance, it must be the outiét of the im- mense trade that will in afew years be carried on west of the Mississippi river. The extension of emigration the settlement of Oregon, and the natural growth of the western States, must create a trade in that part of the world, of which St. Louis is the centre, that must make it the first inland city on this continent. When we con- sider that it is but a very few years since nearly the whole western portion of this continent was a wilder- ness, and see what itis now, we are prepared to antici” pate any improvement and the most rapid increase in its ‘wealth and resources. Notwithstanding the immense amonnt of trade derived from the west, the resources of these States have hardly commenced being developed. The lead mines of Ulinois alone are a source of great revenue to the people of that section. The productions of mines at Galena are rapidly increasing. The shipments of lead from Galena imr1845 amounted to 778,461 pigs, and, in 1844, 621,900 pige—showing an increase of 156,561 pigs in one yesr ‘The increase from the lower mines has also been large, the product in 1845 having been estimated at 150,000 | pigs The products of the Galena mines during the poet | five yeers have been more than three millions and e half | } |
