An exposition of the Decesaity eral system, including a del e President's veto messages. i The report concludes with a series of resolu- tions, the first of which has been adopted in the House by a majority exceeding two-thirds, to wit :— Resolved—That the constitution of the United States vests in Congress the power to appropriate money to open and improve harbors and remove ob- structions from navigable rivers, in all cases where such improvements are necessary to the protection and facility of commerce with foreign nations, or the com- merce among the States. The second resolution declares that the power should be judiciously exercised ; the third that the vetoes of President Polk are not sustained ; the fourth against declaring the assent of Congress to the Hr ane a of tonnage duties by the States ; the fifth recommends the printing of the various documents, &c., on the subject of internal im- provements. dill The rey ort 1s an able paper, indicative of a stu- dious and careful consideration of the subjects in- volved in it. In statistics, in precedents of appro- ations, and in the advantages derived from em, the general argument of Mr. Hunt is unan- swerable. The question of the extent of the con- See power remains an Oe question. The power is admitted to exist. The opinion as to the propriety of the exercise of the power has been Raiding ground; and we believe that if either of the bills vetoed by President Polk were now tried in Congress, that they would pass both houses by the required two-thirds. Furthermore, we hold tl while Gen. Cass adopts the Baltimore platform, he does not declare he would veto a of t a board ef commissioners to be ap- pointed to them aceording to the ex- press provision of the late treaty? The fact that such a rence is given in this bill to those clasmgs ren shape which the empire had cut down and decided upon, is suspicious is well as unjust and is also a direct violation of the 15th article o the treaty, and should be corrected by expunging the second section of the bill. There are bui three millions and one quarter to be divided among the unadjudicated claims, which sum will fall far short of the just amount of those. claims for spoliations, in violation of the treaty of 1881, and the laws of nations. j e are aware that there are persons largely in- terested in fictituious Mexican paper; but whether they have, unwitti on his part, inveigled Col. Benton into their soheme of getting an equ chance with the just claimants, at the limited propriation made, we cannot tell. Jusric Puiwapenrusa, July 10, 1843. Volunteers---The Resignation of Gov. Shunk, §c. The reception of the volunteers will probably be divested of much of its anticipated grandeur by the fact that the volunteers destined for this city will not arrive in a body, from the fact that they are to be disbanded at Pittsburg, as soon as they teach that place. The disbanding will also pro- bably take place at different times, as two or three have already reached Pittsburg, and the rest may not arrive at that point till the close of the present, week. The committee men who have charge o' the arrangements have also commenced sqaub- bling, there being so many cendidates for chief marshal, each wishing to make political capital out of it. The committee from the city councils were sagtieved by certain allusions made to the whig jubilee festival, that was held at Powelton many years since, and the members retired in a body from the meeting. A banquet has, however, been decided upon to be given to the volunteers, in the Museum building or Musical Fa nd Hall; a dpe of military and other bodies mount- ed, and an illumination of the pulls buildings. pe marahal or orator of the day has yet been se- lected. . The official letter of Governor Shunk, resigning his functions as the Executive of the common- wealth, has been received by telegraph from Har- the bills vetoed by President Polk. One of the strong arguments of Mr. Polk against the harbor and river apppropriations was the re- ‘qnisitioma of the war. “The war has ceased—that argument is removed, Besides, General Cass sus- tained these bills in his speeeches and in his votes, pending the war. Upon this ground, therefore, General Taylor and Genr ral Cass stand upon near- ly equal ground, with this difference—a whig ongrees micht extend the log-rolling system to a wider latitude than General Cass could approve. At late stage of the session, we doubt whe- ther the harbor and river bill will be tried. The move important and pressing question of the pro- viso, sud the action required upon the treaty with Mexico, and in making governments for the new territories, will of then selves absorb the time of risburg. The office holders have effected their object, and the resignation being dated yesterday, will enable them to hold the election this fall, when, if it had been postponed till to-morrow, the whig Speaker of the Senate would hold the office for eighteen months, instead of six. It 1s eurrently reported that a certain General of this city, who is also Tha possessor: of a fat office, was the only man who would volunteer to perform the delicate task of conveying the wishes of the class he represented to the suffering Governor,who at firet returned an indignant refusal. What per- suasions followed to induce him to change his de- termination have not been promulged. He is ev: dently in the last stages of x pulmonary complaint, and cannot survive many days. About one o’clock on Sunday morning he was seized with a violent Congress as long as they can have the conscience toremainin session. : On the great constitutional question, our own opinion is that Congress has ‘power to regulate commerce;” that a regulation of rivers and harbors that contribute directly anything to the national treasury, are embraced within this grant of power; and that commercial rivers and Jakes lying be- tween two or more States, or bordering on one or more States, all within the supervision of the Federal government. We believe that the power of improving such rivers and harbors exists, and might be exercised ; but we hold, also, that the veto is a judicious reservation against any extrava- gant exercise of the power, or it might be extend- ed to an absor;tion of the entire revenues of the government, the creation of a large national debt, and the imposition of direct taxes upon the people, for removal of obstructions in such rivers as the O-weeache, the Muskingum, the Shenandoah, and the Peedee. ‘ The report is full of interesting matter, and we commend it to the public. Tue Doctor. Wasutneton, July 9, 1848. Finding of the Military Court of Inquiry—Genc- rals Scott and Pillow. I was in error in stating the other day that the Court of Inquiry had been dismissed, as it iscom- pelled to await the promulgation of the President’s decision. It might occur that the President, not agreeing with the finding of the court, would send it back for further deliberation, in which case the court would be obliged to resume its sittings. In the present case, however, nothing of the kind will arise, as the President intends confirming its decision, and 1s merely allowing a decent period to elapse before doing so. The court, as I before stated, has acquitted General Pillow upon every ‘cxphige. With reference to the charge that Pillow foxieavored to appropriate the credit due to the plan of attack upon Contreras, which the prosecutor claimed as of right belonging to him, the court find that General Pillow, acting on his own judg- ment, commenced that battle, and that General Scott, when he arrived on the field, acquiesced in the movements which had been made. The court docs not deny that General Scott would have and ably did intend to order precisely the same movement ; but there being no proof of his having communicated his views to General Pillow, they consider the litter as being entitled to his meed of raise. The court is also of opinion that General illow, in his official account of the battle, did not do justice to General P. Smith, as that officer also originated, in his own mind, the same plan as did Generals Scott aad Pillow. In fact, the court ap- pears to think that no very great amount of praise 1s due to the or.ginators ot the plan, as it was the only sensible one that could have been pursued, ahd beens to have presented itself to the minds of several general officers at the same time. The court is particularly severe upon General Scott, and accuses him of permitting his personal preju- dices, and dislikes to warp his mind and do injus- tice to Genera! Pillow. It refers to General Scott’s despatches, in which Pillow’s name is frequently mentioned with laudations, and considers the at- tempt made by the prosecutor to show that such lau oe were undeserved as having signally failed. I see it stated in several papers that the court is to meet again to try General Scott upon charges preferred by Pillow. It may be so, but no such information has yet been communicated to the court, and Lam inclined to think—and spon prstty. good authority, too—will not be. General Pillow now stands in a better position before the country than he has ever prcviously done, and the only eflect which could be. achieved by ‘prosecuting charges against General Scott, would be to raise up sympathy for him at the expense of Pillow. General Pillow now stands before the country as an ill-used man, and an attempt to blacken General Scott’s character can in nowise add to the repu- tation of the former. Independent of this, these Coarts of Inquiry are perfect farces, with which people haye already been surfeited, and the powers that be will scarcely risk another dose. Whilst upon this matter I may as well refute an error which prevails pretty generally, namely— that General Pillow was formerly a law partner of Mr Polk’s. This is not the case. They never were connected if any way. They were both brought up in the same town, and were intim: te friencs, that is all) General Pillow stands at the head of the bar in his notive place, where he en- joys a gcod reputation tor ab ity, OmEGa. Wasuineron, July 10, 1848, Claims on Mexico. On Saturday, Mr. Benton introduced a bill for the purpose, in part, of executing the treaty with Mexico, of the 2d of Fe! ruary last. The 16th article of the treaty provides, that— To ascertain the validity and amount of these claims a board of commissioners shali be established by the overnment of the United States. whove awards shall fe final and conclusive; provided, that, in deciding upon the validity of exch claim, the Loard shall be guided and « o d by the principles and rules of de- clsion prescribed by the first and fifth articles of the Unratified convention. concluded at the city of Mexico on the twentieth day of vember, 1843; and in no are hall nn award be made in favor of any claim not embraced by 1! principles and rules. The second secuon of the bill reported by the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, is as fol- lows:— Ali claims of citizens of the United States against the government of the repubic of Mexico, which were conridered by the board of commissioners appoin! under the convention of the 11th of April, 1830, an referred to the umpire returned to the board by shall be considered ne adjudicated and the sums award- ed in favor of raid claimants respectively and reported to raid umpire, together with interes! on the same. 6 vided by eaid convention of the 11th April, 1839, to id wyon the final awards of said board. shall be paid to such claimants or their legal representatives This section of the bill usurps the treaty, if it should jas-, ard legalizes $925,627 88 of clims, some which were of a mature that the ampre had already rejected. a8 not being provided for by mion, end others which were not con- , ether by the treaty with Mexico of e lows ‘of nations. (See theftabul r statement, with the report of the American com- missionere—Senate doc, No, 320, 27thCon., 2d ges.) That come of these claims are valid, under the convention of 1839, there can be no doubt; but why should Congress legulize the amount of any of them? Why not let them all fare alike, and be attack of hemorrhage of the lungs, and threw up more t! a quart of clotted blood, and at times was in danger of strangulation, being scarcely able, from extreme debility, to cough up the blood. Some reaction has since taken place ; but a return of the hemorrhage is feared, which may termi- nate fatally. The following extract of a letter re- ceived, gives an idea of his disease:— The Governor's disease is most singular one. all along ate heartily— ite not very capricious— no night sweate—very little febrile action—no pain— simply a general prostration and decay of the powers of nature. He is mere skin and bon The food that he takes does him no good—there is an utter want of astimilation—consequently, no new blood, nor the ele- ments of any new flesh are formed, and the vital powers and functions have been, thus far, su-tained altogether from past accumulations—but the fuel is now exhaust- ed, and the flame of life must very soon and very sud- denly expire. He has had one of the best medical at- tendants that this vicinity afforded—Dr. Rutherford, his old famil ysicia: week Professor Jackson. of Philadel; was here in consultation. He con- firmed the diagnosis of Dr. Rutherford, and both agreed n an unfavorable prognosis. the fact of the utter want of assimilating his food, with other reasons, his physicians bave concluded his disease to be tuber- culous disease of the Mesentery, combined with pul- monary disease. _ ts ‘ The following is the letter of resignation: Haanisauac, July 9, 1848. To tHe Peor.e or Penneyivani it having pleased me of the strength neces- sharge of the duties of yo Chief Mi te, and to lay me on a bed of sickness, from which I am admo: by my physicians and m:; own. sce ag debility, I may in ‘ait hvman probabili- ty never rise, I have ved, upon mature reflection, under a conviction of duty, on this day to restore to. you the trust with which your suffrages have clothed me, in order that you may avail yourselves of the pro- vision of the Constitution, to choose a successor at the next general (election.

But this time poor Tobin's string had run its length. as he had been before the magis- trate some five or six times before, but always managed to obtain his liberty again by a judicious application of soft svap laid on the magistrate’s ear, not too thick, but just enough te make the Justice pleased with him- self, thereby obtaining bis own request. This time, however, the soap failed to lather; and the Justice ad- dressed him thus :—“Tobin, your appearance in this court is becoming altogether to frequent. 1 must now do something with you, whereby you will be benefited and the city likewise.” 1een—Judge, he is a perfect loafer and ought to be sent up. Banser—Oh! Judge. that man (pointing to the of- ficer) ought to be punished ; he says I'm a loafer; why dont’t he call me by theright name; I'm no loafer ; I am a drunkard ; that | acknowledge, but lam no loafer; 1 work every day ; if I did’nt work, how could I get money to buy rum with. that’s what I want to know? Maaistrate—Why, it’s not necessary to work to get drunk, for we have loafers brought in here every day who are found drunk every night along the docks, d yet those fellows don’t know the meaning of work, ave no idea of work, and yet manage to get liquor. I think that a visit on Blackwell's Island for three months would greatly restore your health and make you an altered person. Bannrx—Oh !

This was done, and the arrival of “Black Maria,” which lady conveys them up in her two horse carriage.

Cincurr Count, July 10.—Before Judge Huribut.— James Fellows ct al vs. Eli Weill —This was an action of assumpsit brought by the holder of a promissory note for $147, against an endorser. It appeared feom | the testimony in the cause, that a man named Levinhold purchased goods from plaintitfs to the | amount of the note, and mentioned at the time that he would make the note, and procure defendant to en- dorse it, The note was accovdingly, drawn by pinin- tiff’s clerk. He then called on the defendant, and asked him to endorse the note, agreeing at the same time to pay him $25 for endorsing it. ‘The defendant took the note, but told Levinhold he could not then do it, aud desired him to call again Levinhold called a scond time, and according to his testimony, defendant gave him back the note. which he took to the plaintiffs, and ob- tained the goods. For the defence the defendant's brother was called, who swore positively that Levin- hold called upon him, and said that he had been with the defendant, and requested him to endorse the note; that he refured. but said that his brother (meaning the witness) might endorse it; andadvised him to call on witness, and askhim todo it. That he thereupon asked witness to do it; that witness took the note and wrote his own name upon it, in Levinhold’s pre- sence. The cause was thea summed up; and after a charge from the judge, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, for the amount claimed, with interest. Harrison Barbour vs. Thomas R. Harney.—This was an action for use and oceupation of part of the house, No. 2223 Bowery. ‘The defendant leased from plaintiff the store, a back parlor and a cellar, from the 15th Oc- tober, 1846, to the Ist May, 1847, at the rate of $300 About a week before the Ist May he left the premises, The defendant pleaded accord and satisfaction, and called bis son-in-law and daughter to prove that’ pre- vious to leaving the store he entered into negotiation with the plaintiff to surrender the premises, and that the latter agreed to accept such surrender and a lot of goods, consisting of toys, an inventory of which was made out, with the invoice prices marked opposite each article, the value of which, according to the invoice price, amounted to $102, for the rent due; and that in pursuance of that agreement, he delivered up possea- sion and left the goods in the store. The judge told the jury that the only question in the case was one of | fact; that if they believed the plaintiff entered inte the | negotiation and accepted the goods, aithough they | were not of the value of the rent claimed, they should | find a verdict for the defendant. The jury found a verdict for defendant. The first witness called on the | part of the plaintiff was the defendant, to prove his own. signature to the lease; that he took possession under it, and continued in possession until a week before the first of May. After his direct examination was finished, his counsel asked the Court if he could examine him to new matter. The court intimated that he might ex- mine him to all matters pertinent to the issue; that is, | that he was at liberty to put such questions to him as he could put to any other witness that might be exa- amined in the cause; but if he did, the plaintiff's coun- | sel might call bis client to the stand, and examine him | to the came points. The defendant's counsel declined, and the witness left the stand. Common Pras, June 10.—There were only two un important note cases tried in this court Genenat Sesstons, July 10.—Befors the Recor der Alderman Downing and Carrall, Fulse Pretences.—The trial of Honeywood Benson, on the above charge. was resumed, Axcninarp T.

A Queen Fis —A queer looking fish was taken out | of the North River, on Saturday afternoon, near the | steamer Washington. It was very like a sheeps’ head | in form, of a reddish brown color. The eyes are very | large, and sit in the back of the head,and a kind of thorn about three inches in length, stands out from that part where the head joins the body.

From his friends in the city of New York, A, D. 1848, It was to have been presented to Mr. Lyon on his departure for China, but his resignation prevented it, | | as its beauty and value deserves Scrnvs ar tHe Hoxse Mant—The upper horse mar- ket, on Saturday afternoon, was replete with richnvss, The stock, generally, was of the genuine order. and ccmpetitors werein the humor for bidding. ‘The ap- proaching Fourth seemed to be foromest in the miad of every one, and each wanted a “ critter” for that spe- cial occasion. The sale commenced about half-past two o'clock, with a horse, which tie owner declared had been long used as a circus horse. The first bid was four dollars, which the owner refused to cry, in consequence of its trifling amount. He rode him several times up and down the road, but no one seemed particularly anxious for a “ cirews horse;’? he might be full of tricks. At last he agreed to start him at four dollars, but the person who made that bid could not be found, when one of the bone dealers stepped up and offered six shillings. The auc- tioneer took him at his bid and soon the animal was struck off. The purchaser was an athletic German, who found some fault with his bargain, and when call- ed upon for his money, said, “ Dis is von d—n sheat, dat ’os is no wut four shillin’ and I no takes *im imed : An yo've to | tak the hoss, or threat the company, ‘an ye'd as will do the faer thing.” The purchaser, becoming alarmed at the braggadocio manner of the umpire, at first con- cluded to treat, but looking around discovered that about a hundred had gathered round, and that it was cheaper to take the horse than liquor the company. ‘The horse had a tremendous body, with very short | crooked legs ; the withers very much galled and sore, | and could not possibly have been less than twenty-five | ears cld, and it was subsequently ascertained that he ‘ad served ina bark mill for sonie twelve years. The next animal brought forward was a donkey about three feet high, whose appearance was familiar to all present, having long been used by an old woman. in the neighborhood, who is in the daily habit of gather- | ing garbage. The old woman attended in person to | superintend the sale of Jacky, as she called him. She | was firm at forty dollars, and the consequence was, she | had to take him home. “The secret of the desire to sa- | crifice Jacky was, that her husband had a few days be- | fore bargained for a Piece of ground. and was short | forty dollars in paying the amount of the pur- chase money. He had been # squatter, on part of it for a number of years, and had received rent for the | shantees he erected upon it to pay the whole amount, save what the wife demanded for the donkey. The next was a trade between two jockeys. each of whom had a shadow, and each shadow was blind in one eye. The difference, as agreed upon, was four shillings, which was spent for something to drink, as they ex- pressed it. An old horse, very much the same shape as a camel, except the hump on the back, was brought out. He had entirely lost the use of one of his fetleck | joints, the tendon of which had been severed, and of course that hoof dragged upon the ground. One of | those keen-eyed fellows, who deal in bones, on the | west side of the city, eagerly stepped forward ; and as | soon as{he saw him, bid two shillings ; and immediately from every quarter rose cries of Stuck ” “ Paysfor yer whistle,” He can’t treat on that ;" but the fellow was wide awake, and as soon as he was struck off, paid his two shillings, drew a twine string from his packet, which he tied around the horse’s neck, and put him in charge of one of his companions. The animal was en- tirely worthless for ordinary use, but the speculator knew it would take but a short time to clean his bones of flesh, and they would yield agood profit. “It ish bes to Kill de critter dan let im die mit de sfiore leg,” he said, and parsed on to fix his eye upon another. A larze black mare, attached to a dirt cart, was then brought out, ‘The owner was about to retire from business, | and that was his only reason for selling off. This was by far the most pitiable object presented. ‘The sade Was placed nearly across the hips, in consequence of a sore on the back, nearly the size of the crown of a man’s hat, which was in almost a state of putri- faction ; besides which. she was so poor and weak that | she was scarce able to walk, much less to draw a load. Her feet were in a miserable condition from scratches, and without shoes, besides, one ear was cut entirely off. She was purchased on the first bid by a man who, from his appearance, seemed to have shated as poorl: of the good things of life as the animal he purchased, | and who keeps a shantee on tracks in Thirtieth | street, near Lexington avenue, with a large key, indi- | cating the work done inside, hanging before the door. He keeps his little den on trucks, that he may the more conveniently travel, when he is warned to move; and he purchased the mare for the purpose of expediting bis movements. A heavy shower of rain caused the whole company to seek shelter in the headquaiters, where they could have an opportunity to get up the steam before the continuation of the sale, The major portion of the animals were bought by the bone dealers; and it is probable there will be considerable slaughter of the cripples during the present week, not for hides or tallow, but that the button business may be kept alive and brisk. They are more eager to purchase than even stock brckers when stocks are down; and it would afford a scene of more interest to visit one of these sales than the most magnificent sale of. horses that could be started in Gotham. It is one of the parts of * New York as it is which is known to very few of the fun loving of the city.
