We now give in full the particulars of the voyage : Aceount of the Voyage of the Washington. Sreamen Wasunoton, ; Sanpy Hoox, January 16th, 1847. The undersigned, passengers by the steamer Wash- ington, on her late passage from Southmpton to New York, deem it their duty to make known the causes of their detention, and at the same time, to pay no un- merited compliment to the officers of the steamer. In consequence ofa storm, which prevented the taking im of coals, the Washington did not leave Southamp- ton on the afternoon ef the 18th of December, as ap- pointed, but sailed st an early hour the following morn- ing. We encountered a constant succession of severe western gales, the wind blowing almost a hurriceue from the time of leaving the Needles, until our arrival in Halifax. Many of us who have often crossed the At- lantic, have never experienced such « continuance of bad weather. The Captain thought it prudent on the eighteenth day out, although we had sufficient coals for five or six days steaming, to shape his course for Hali- fax. Wewere at the entrance of the harbor on the morning of the 9th inst.; but it being foggy, we could not enter it until the next morning. The machinery of the Washington having been Kept in constant and hard service since the vessel commenc- ed running, was notin perfect order, and we were obliged to stop a number of times during the passage to repair it, losing at least fifty hours steaming. We can- not bestow too much praise on the able obief engineer, Mr. Mars, for his indefatigable energy and active inge- nuity in overeoming almost insurmountable difficulties. We remained fifty-six hours at Halifax,to take in coals and repair the machinery. From thence to Sandy Hook we have had fine weather and « quick passage. It in now our pleasing duty to render, in this public manner, our grateful acknowledgments to Captain John- ston, for his kindness and courtesy, and to express our admiration of his skill and judgment as a commander. No ene could have discharged those duties more assedu- ously and untiringly. Notwithstanding the adverse winds and waves, the ac- commodations of the Washington are so good and ample, that we have been exceedingly comfortable. The strong ship behaved so well and bore herself so bravely in the storm, that we cannot close without expressing our opinion, that when her machinery is put in thorough order, (which may be easily done,for the main parts are not defective,) this noble steamer will make as safe and speedy passages as any that now orosses the Atlantic.

This steamebip is one of the “ American Ocean Mail Line,’ built to use both steam and sails, and to run regularly between New York and Southampton. She was finished last summer, and made her first trip from New York in September last. So that she is a new sbip, snd ina trial with the French steamship New York 6 left for Europe, she sailed two mies tothe Frenchmsn’s one. She is a ‘vast mass, of over 2000 tons burthen, and is one of the finest American ships that ever floated on theocean. On her present trip the Wasbington left Southampton the day after the Caledonia, (which vessel arrived here on Monday morning week, in 1534 days, and sailed at ight o’clock the same morning for Boston.) The Washing- ton eneountered a series of very heavy goles, which dis- located seme of her machinery, stove ber wheel house, and thus protracted her en to thin port to 2136 days. She put in to refit and in a fresh supply of coals, and evening or to-morrox. In miking this port, the W: came inside of the Isls of Sa- ble, and thus saved considerable distance, by sea and current, and has the ad’ of putting herself in con- dition her port of destination, Ding In. of the sea into account, she might never have ed in her disabled condition. Our readers will understand that we do not aay such @ disaster would be likely to happen. The Washington might have sailed the rest of the distance to New York; but im case of head winds, there is no be cin Ls long she might have knocked about onthe waters.

Wind S. W., strong breeze.—London Times, Dec. 18. _ Frances ® We have received the Paris journals of Thurs- day, the 16th ult. ) , ‘The Presse publishes a long lending article, in which it professes to give the secret history of the proposed intervention 1n Switzerland. It attributes the idea exclusively to M. Guizot, and says that he conceived it immediately after the rupture of the cordial understanding with Eng- land. M. Guizot considered that, by adopting a hostile beer towards the radicals of Swit- zerland, he might conciliate the despotic powers in Europe, and relieve himself from the state of isolation in which he was placed by the Spanish marriages. The Presse, moreover, taunts M. Guizot with having borrowed from the govern- ment of Louis XVIII. a precedent for interfering in the domestic quarrels of other nations. Louis XVII. interfered in Spain, under the pretence of preserving it from anarchy. M. Guizot has influenced the northern powers to commence a crusade against the revolutionary spirit which is said to exist in Switzerland, as they counte- nanced in 1822 the idea of an expedition against the revolutionary spirit in Spain. The Presse proniecies that M. Guizot will, in the end, fiad imself without any alliance, and exposed to the ill-will of Lord Palmerston and the displeasure of Prince Metternich. The Commerce has cal- culated, that during the last seventeen years no less than 1,120 prosecutions had been directed against the journals in the name of King Louis Philippe, who had inaugurated his accession to the throne by a formal promise that no prosecu- tion should be in future instituted agaist the press. During that period 57 journals were obliged te suspend their publication in conse- quence of the AU of the penalties. The writers were sentenced to 3,141 years and eight months imprisonment, and the journals to 7,110,- 600f. fine.

Spain. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 10th and LUth inst. pies The general discussion on the address was closed in the Senate on the 9th, and the first three paragraphs were adopted without any oppo- sition. Ona the 10h, the discussion opene the fourth paragraph, relative to the proximate termination ot the negotiation with Rome, to which M. Cabello moved an amendment expres- sive of the Senate’s desire that the arrangemeat with Rome might be effected without uny de- rogation to the rights and prerogatives of the crewn, M. Arrazvla, the Minister of Justice, and M. Santaella,as a member of the committee, combated the amendment, which was not taken into consideration. The Archbishop of Burgos aext proposed to insert in the address a clause to the effect that a project of law providing a be- coming, secure, and independent dotation for the clergy, be submitted to the Chambers. M. Arra- zola invited the prelate to withdraw his motion, and M. Santaeila declared, in the name of the committee, that he could not accept it. The de- bate on the amendsnent recommenced, and was still proceeding on the 11th. The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies possessed but little in- terest. Our correspondent mentions that the French government had obtained trom the Em- peror of Morocco the cession of the Zeiarina trendsion the coast of Atrica, adjoining Melilia. Chose Islands belonging to Spain, the Queen’s government had ordered two steamers, with tw: battalions and two batteries of artillery, to pr ceedthither forthwith, to prevent the French from taking possession of the islands. The Duke de Glucksberg was to give a grand dinner on the llth, to the Ministers, the Duke de Rian- zares, M. M. Mon, Gonzales Bravo, &c. rhe Three per Ceats were done on the Ith it 27j, at 50 days; the Four per Cents at 15, for cash; the Five per Cents at 15}; and the Debt without interest at 4j, for paper. = Switzerland. : Our private letterstrom Berne, of the 13th in- stant, state that M. Guizot is very much enraged at Lord Palmerston, on account of his declara- tion that the occasion for intervention is now at an end in Switzerland; and it is even added that the French minister is prepared to act in concert with Austria in the matter, without regard to Eugland. This intelligence, however, has pro- duced very little or no anxiety. The elections for the Grand Council of Lucerne were over; the seventy-five members returned were ail li- berals. Dr. Steiger was returned in four dis- tricts. In Upper Unterwald, M. Michel had been elected as deputy to tie Diet. He isa li- beral, but said to be a moderate man. This haif canton has also sent its quota of 14,000f. towards the instalment demanded by the Diet (payable on or before the 20.h inst.) towards the expenses of the war.

The accounts from the Amsterdam Bourse notice a de- cline in the value of most public securities, preduved by the pressure of sales. coupled with the increasing demand for money, The reports from the Frankfort Bourse also speak of the little business transacted,and the downward tendency of quotations. ‘The same dullness has pervaded the colonial markets during tho week as we have had occasion to describe for weeks part.

Old es- tablishments have been greatly improved and en- larged, to enable their proprietora to meet the in- creased demand for their productions. These results have followed under the tariff of 1846, and farnish abundant evidence of the wisdom and judgment of Secretary Walker, the distiegnistied authorand originator of that lead- measure. — Tn the counties of Botetourt, Alleghany, Rock- bridge, and Augusta, in Western Virginia, iron ore is very abundant, end new iron establish- ments are Springing up with unparalleled rapidity. Old establishments, that had been permitted to go down, have recently been revived, and are now in successful operation. In the county of Botetourt, we have five fur- naces now in operation, and others are expected to be shortly commenced. The old Etna furnace has, within the last three years, been purchased by an enterprising company of Pennsylvanians, who have paorrOved it upon an extensive scale, and the whole establishment has been placed upon a permanent footing. This establishment is under the management of Mr. Allbright, and is making from fifty to seventy tons per week. In Alleghany county, the Lucy Salina fur- nace, the property of Col. sohn Jordan and Sons, has been in successful operation for several ron past, and has been doing a very profitable usiness. In the year just closed, they have made, as I have beencredibly inforted, 1,482 tons of metal. A new furnace has been lately erected in this bea by Wm. L. Aleander;Esq-, which has been blowing for some time. past, with entire success. Two new furnaces are about to be erected near Covington, in the same county—the one by Hazekiah Tf. Jordan & Co., the other by James G, Hamilton—both of which will be in blast during the next year. In Rockbridge county, the Bath Iron Works establishment has been purchased by- Samuel orrerd, an enterprising Pennsylvanian, and hae been successfully operated by him for eight or nine months past. The furnace belonging to Matthew Bryan has aleo been in successful operation under his management for several years past, aad will continue under the manage- ment and control of that experienced and enter- prising gentleman,and doubtless as successfully infuture asheretojore. | A new furnace is now in progress of erection on the South river, in ety under the direction of the industrious and enterprising owners, Samuel’ F. and Benjamin J. Jordan.— This will doubtless be one of the most extensive and valuable improvements of the kind in this portion of the State. The furnace will be in blast by the firat of May next, as [am informed, and, under the management of these experienced and judicious gentlemen, must do well. F It is more than probable a new furnace will be erected near the Alum springs, in Rockbridge, during the next year. The ore is abundant, aad in all respects the location is very desirable. ‘The old furnace of Montgomery & Erwin, in the county of Augusta, has recently been pur- chased by Isaac Bryan & Co., of Rockbridge, and will be refitted immediately and put_ in operation. These facts show that the tariff of 1846 has operated beneficially upon the manutac- turing business and interests of the nation. All things seem to have worked together for ge 2d. INCIDENTS ATTENDING THE Explosion OF THR A.N, Jounson.—We continue to receive heart- Tending accounts of t doomed vessel, and on shore, after ths surviving passen- gers had landed, The Ctncianaté C say The explosion blew away the boilers, leaving the fur- naces and fire partly exposed, and much of the cabin fell iu. Passengers, when they opened their state-room door, rushed to where the cabia bad been sunk, amidst the flames, which bad seized on the fallen timbers of the cabin, Mr. 8. S, Sanders, of thie] city, who war,on ac- eount of the crowded state of the cabin, lying on the floor of the social hall at the time of the explosion, fell with the cabin on the deok; aud in the fall the timbers of the cabin fell on his legs, which prevented him from rising or doing anything. The boat took fire, which was momentarily approaching him; and while lying in this condition he saw several perish in the flames, their hands extended for aid, and shrieking with agony and despair; but there were none to help them. As the fire approach- ed, the horses, tied on the toreoastle, became wild with affright, and commenced kicking, rearing, and plunging. In this wild excitement the timbers which held Mr. Sanders were so removed as to liberate him, when he rose, omy the side of the boat next to the stream, and seeing the river fall of ioe, caught be wet blanket, threw it around himself, and rushed through the flames to the opposite side, and made his escape to tl ore, which was overlooked by « high arid perpen- dicular bank.

Tue Extent or tHe Late FLoops.—The season inthe northern portion of this continent has been extraordi- nary. Frost and light snow in November, succeeded by heavy rains, extending from the Mississippi tothe shores of Nova Scotia, early in December, flooding the river and causing great damage, followed by severe frosts and light snowe, the thermometer down to 9 deg. or 10 deg. ro, and these succeeded by heavy rains since the timo to the second inet.

Rebecca Rose was the next prisoner called, who was in full blossom; her face being of the rosy hue, puffed up and spotted, from the effects of high culture. Her clothing was in a dirty, tattered condition, and the fra- gtance arising from this Uae 3 Rose, was of anything but the ‘rosy-posey” order, although “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” She asked the Jus- thee to send her to the hospital for two months, which request was granted by the mugistrate, und the poor old woman was sent to Blackwell’s Island for sixty days, in order to recruit her strength. Charge of Fraud—Offlcer Hulse, of the Third ward, arrested, on Saturday night, Jobn Gallagher on « charge of obialaing $108 from Rose Kelly, of No. 42 Waren treet, by false representations. ‘The accused was de- tained in the station house until further proof.

However, shortly after the delivery of the goods, Mr. Safford made an assigoment of all his effects, including the bill of goods purchased on acredit of six'months, from Beach, Greenwood & Co. Soon after this assignment, Safford lef: Carlisle, and has been absent until within the last ten days; and as this fact of his return was known to the complainants, means wore taken betore Justice Drinker, in order to prooure hi arrest, upon discovering that the representations made were false and fraudulent, Justice Osborne locked him up for examination. The Present Police Law. . In some of our previous erticies on police, we have al- luded tothe character and objections at present ex- isting in the mauagement—and first as to the office of chief of police. By the intendment of the law. the chief of police. subordinate to the Mayor, was to bethe executive officer of the department, or to illus- trate, to occupy thesame position as the first lieutenant on board of s man of war—the executive officer. He was to have his office in the Mayor’s office, not to have one exclusively bis own, and to make it necsssary to the corporation to passan ordinance, calling « distinet and seperate office, in violation of the law of the Legislature, ‘a part of the Mayor's office. His chief employment was to watch over and keep @ constant supervision over the whole department, and by constant and daily visits to the station houres, and throughout the city, to see that the duties of the respective officers and policemen were performed, and that the whole department worked togeth- er for the common objects contemplated by the aw, to cor- rect and preventabuses. This is the true intendmentof the law, as an incident to his office, as will beseen by art 2d see, 2d of the law. A portion of the power of a special ar: 6 amination; but such examination to be tken by thorized by law to take such examination— title 2, ehapter 2 tiom of offenders, Saperior and County ay rmen, Special Justices and Assistant Justices, Justices of the Peace for any town, &o., and other magistrates than these shall @ power and thority. In this city this power was specially delegat to the “ Special Justices,” hence the police act of 1844 and 1846 confers the power of issuing a precept for the arrest and commitment tor examination by 8 Special Chief of Police, specially restrict his reat alone, for, and the examinati ial Justices.

The Chief has no power to do either. Porltical Intelligence.
