Wasnineton, May 23, 1819. The Case of Andrew Jacks Donelson. Major Andrew Jackson Donelson is the adopted en of the late Gen. Juckson, and us soon as compe- tent fer public service, was brought into public no- tive. His first practical ieesons in diplomacy were taught him in his negotiations with the august authorities of the late republic of Tex which he exhibited something of the skill of a Pe- na y Pena or Bocaneara combined with the straight forwardnees of Old Hickory himself. li Major Donelson was recently sent out to Berlin, and on the appointment of Mr. Hannegan to that place, was transferred to Franktort-ou-the-Maine, iving the benefit within a very short time of out- pes infits,and ruluries, to the amount of $35,000, if he chooees, according to the usage of the Senate, to take advantage of the mileage for his coustruc- tive jeurnies, home and back again. A lucky man! The pupers of the applicants for foreign missions are now undergomg clas-iticetion and abridge- ment, to luy before the cabinet. Mr. Donelson has the personal friendship of Old Zack, He will probably be retained in the foreign service; and to retain him will be to retain a competent man, and the saving additional expenses to the treasury. Old Zack’s associations with Old Hickory are at least said to be in favor of the Major. Wasnixcrox, May 26, 1849. The Appointments, and the Course of the Senate—Issue of Stock—The Sub-Treawury, §c.. Se. ‘The plan suggested by the Union, by which the Se- nate can annoy the administration, bas been eagerly eaught up by the opposition press, All the new ap- pointments are to be rejected, no matter how unob- jectionable the parties may be, and au investigation is to be made in every case as to the reasons which led to the creation of the vacancies, We do not consider the plan fo very admirable, or #0 very effective. ‘This going behind the record to enquire into causes Of diemiseals, is liable to objection. In the first p luce stia a subject totally unconnected with the matter of confirming or rejecting nominations, and with which the Senate has nothing to do; the dixmissal of execu- tive officers resting wholly with the President. In the econd place, the democrats in the Senate have always taken decided stand against investigations of this mature, and it will now come with a peculiarly bad grace from men who have opposed such a procedure under Jackson. Van Buren, and Polk. But grant that they dostultity their former declarations, and demand the production of evidence in every case of dismissal. ‘What will it amount to? If the information is asked in proper, respectful terms. it will doubtlese be granted; but in that event it can scarcely be expected that men who set out with a firm determination of keeping up a factions opposition, will consider any evidenco suffl- cient. They will reject the nomination. Well, anew name will be laid before them; they may reject it and keep op rejecting. but in the end they will have to ac- cept some one. perhaps more objectionable in every res- pect. But. in the meantime, wil the people support this systematic factious opporition—this trifling child’s my ¢, however, do not anticipate any such dificulty. If the majority of the Senate have not a proper sense of their own dignitied position—if they would feel no compunction in stultifying all their former acts—still they are shrewd emough to know that the course point- ed out by the Union would strengthen instead of weak- eu the administration. Every new nomination would be equivalent toan increase of patronage and an en- largement of the faumber of personal friends to the Exceutive. It would give the cabinet an opportunity of dieplaying its friendship to many men who would etherwise necessarily be passed over. This fact is too palpable not tobe at once apparent. and it gives the st assurance in the world that the whole scheme is mere leather end prunella, got up for effect. The mutter will never be entertained by the Senate—the whigs tried it under Jackson. and didn't make their for- tunes at it—and we doubt very much if it is seriously contemplated by any man who possesses the slightest glimmering (f common sense, One thing is certain— no surer method could be adopted by the opposition to strengthen the hands of Executive than a factious re- jection of its nominations. ‘The amount of United States stock istued to foreign- ers, for the week ending 25th May, was us follows:— Sn $1,000 Loan of 1 000 42.700 19.000 Total. ... eee ceceree sess cece + 6 $67.700 The Secretary of the Treasury, it is understood, is determined to give the sub-treasury system a fair and impartial trial, with saything but a desire that it should prove a fature. He has no pet theory in the matter; and if the present system is a good one, and can be made permavent, he will be abundantly satis- fied. One thing is certain. He intends it shall be per- fectly independent in its action—neither dependent ‘upon the fluctuations of the monvy market, or lend- ing it asa means to case a pressure, He bas already given one proof of the course he means to adopt. Searcely bad he arrived here last March. before he was waited upon by a host of New York merchants, repre- senting the pressure in the market, and begging him to make the customary arrangement for a depletion of the treasury. He, however, declined to interfere, He considered it was not in accordance with the spirit of the law; that it took away all stability, by rendoring it a matter of uncertainty what amount’ of capital there might be made available. and gave the Secretary, an irrerponsible officer, an unlimited control over the money market—an amount of power which he has no desire to possess. The consequence was the importa- tion of a large quantity of specie; the pressure passed off, and, instead of a return of the “spasm’ in the course of a few weeks, as was always heretofore the case. the market is easy and mon ny plenty. ‘The effect of the sub-treasury law is to keep a cer- tain average amount of specie out of circulation; aad when it is understood that, under no circumstances, will it be thrown to market; that in all calculations the two or three millions locked up cannot be taken into account, it will, in all probability, place the money marketon a sure footing, and Wall street will be elec- trifled with fewer ‘preseures,”” ‘Lhe District appointme nts, about which a good deal of local interest 1s felt, will be taken up, it is said, next week, After they are disposed of, it is probable Col ‘Webb will be put out of mi: OMEGA Our Philadeiphia Correspondence.

We promired to give our renders, in our evening issue, aa detailed an account as it was possible to coliect; but, to get at anything like a full and accurate statement of | the amount of property destroyed, or number ef lives | Jot, is not within the range of possibility. We can only follow the general range of the fire, without going into details. We begin by stating that the point at which tbe fire first etarted on shore, was at the eorner of Locust street and the levee—the corner house, and three buildings ebove it, frouting the leve ere de- stroyed; the flames then crossed Locust, and swept every house (with one exception) in the blocks fronting the ievee and Nain street. and extending from Locust | street southward to Chesnut strect, a distance of three | fquares, At Chesnut street it turned up and crossed | over to the next block south, at the junction of Com- | mercial alley with this street, and from the alley to Main. and down to M street, burning all except two buildings at the corner of Market street and Com. mercial alley.

We will now go farther south. to the foot of Elm street, where the fire made another lodgement, and spreading dingonally through this block, it swept up to Main, and down to Spruce, a distance north and south of two rquares, and crossing Jain, it carried nearly every thing before it up very nearly to Third etreet, three fquares to the wort of its starting point, At Main Street the flames crosted flim. and consumed one-fourth of the block north of Elm and west of Main streets From the foot of Elm, up its southern side to Second street, & distance of two squares, not a house is stand. ing.

It is generally admitted to be a very accurate estimate, though it is proper to remark, that it is to be regarded as the cash valuation :— To the Hon, James @. Barry, Mayor of the City of St. Loui 8in:—By your direction, | respectfully submit the fol- lowing report of the losses sustained by our citizens by the late disastrous conflagration:— Third Ward, Block Number 8, Buildings Burnt, $31,900 “ “ bi 76°100 72,600 “ “ « « Total in third ward. .....

JAMES MAG! , President of the Board of Assessors. ‘The merchandise and other property in these build- ings would certainly amount to at least five hundred thousand dollars more. ‘The Lexington (Ky.) Insurance Company has a risk of only $40,000 on the property destroyed last night. It has the cash on deporite to meet this at once. This risk was as follows:—$30,000 on buildings, and $8,500 on steamers; on the Alice 3,000, Mandan $2,500, Timour $3,000; on the stores of J. Charless & Co. $10,000, Wil- son & Bro $5,000, Porter & Haven $5 000, Tontine $2,500, Heiekell, Dudley & ‘Thompson $6,600, &e. Among the incidents attendant upon the disassrous conftagration of Thursday night, was the praiseworth; conduct of a few citizens who saved the Town Hall By almost superhuman efforts they combatted the de- youring element, when it was ready to envelope the whole building in a sheet of flame. We know not the names of the gentlemen, but they deserve richly the thanks of their fellow citizens. A report was current that the Edward Bates, the boat that caused so much devastation by running, while in flames, among the shipping, was cut loose by her crew Now this, we understaud, is erroneous. ‘The fastening of the cable was burned off. and thus the boat set adrift. Had it not been for this unlucky oc- currence, four boats only would have been burned Since our editorial was written, expressing our fears about the solvency of the insurance offices, generally, of this city, we have been agreeably surprised by re- ceiving notices for insertion, from a few, that they are ready to adjust and pay losses. Most sincerely do we hope thatthis ability and disposition will be general. No disaster from fire, in the west, can compare with this intheextent of damage. The portion of the city destroyed was considered much tho as business part of it; and, as a consequence, the finest warehouses, offices. and stocks of goods of every kind, were located and deposited in this region of the city. Some single warehouses, we are credibly informed, contained at least $100,000 in goods ‘The destruction on the Levee, and along the river, is not less remarkable, twenty-ibree steamers. in running ord: of them with their cargoes on board ed to Mr, Sass, an intelligent steamboat agent, compilation of the names of these boats, with their value, and their captuins’ names attached. On this head it will be seen he estimates the loss at more than haif a mailion of dollars—and this estimate by many isconsidered very low; probably the amount should. be about $460 000, No pencan depict the desolate nied on the levee, and on the trodden by the awtmi destroyer.

Early in the evening ene of the engineers, whose name I cannot learn, was attacked by cholera, A physician was enlled in, who, after prescribing. left a candle burning in the cabin, as it is supposed, in an exposed situation, Soon after, the boat was discovered to be on fire. The sick | man and two others, one a boy, were consumed. One cf them was seen to run’ to the cane deck, and fail into the flam the Edward Bates lay alongside, and were soon in flames. I have already informed you how the latter Doat eet fire to the rest of the shipping. It is impossi- Lie to ascertain the loss of life on board the twenty-four steamers burned, ‘The wind blew so strong, that in fif- teon minutes the whole fleet was on fire, and escape was next to impossible, The number lost can scarcely be lees than twenty. The consternation is still so great. no accurate informotion in this respect can be obtained, Very few of our merchants lost their books or papers, as the alarm induced them to preserve such pro 5 At one time, it was feared that more than half the town would be conrumed About midnight, however, the wind verred to the south, and confined the conflagra- tion east of ‘Ibird street.

My Dear Friend : {rejoice in the merey of God who spares. me, so un- worthy, while many around meare called by the mes- sepger to an account of their stewardship, and while our friends who adorn the Christian life by their work and conversation, are entering upon a seat of happi- ness beyond the ¢ndurance of this world, our proba- tionary state is continued. It will doubtless be a source of personal gratification to know that even to the close of life our friend proclaimed his trust in the inercy of God and hope of salvation through faith, Tt would bea pleasure indeed’ to address you upon any other subject, but this is truly asad one, Yet I feel it my duty, from the confidence yourself and family have been pleased to extend to me, briefly to relate to you the rent cause of the disease of our friend. You already know how he was complaining during the summer and fail, and at intervals appeared improving; but for some weeks past he has been com- plaining of shooting pains along the vetebra, occasion- ally extending to the ensiform cartilage; his head full, and yery slight. vertigo; eyes red, and sometimes wild, with a fecling like weight’ of lead. Some of these in- dications would be relieved for a while, but return again; and his appearanee has been noticed by econ | ‘as failing, still hope kept him sustained: he looke forward to happiness. On Friday of last week, I determined he had better remain home for afew days, which he consented to, and on Saturday felt comfortable in the forenoon, but towards evening complained of weight in the rectum, and unpleasant startlings, About 04g P, M.,he called me up to see Mrs, Nott, who was complaining, and he threw himself upon the sofa, a8 was his custom. While sitting with Mrs. Nott, we thought he heard some ono call, but concladed it was outside; but ina moment more we heard @ loud noise, and the first impression wan that some one bad entered the house, I immedi- ately went down, and found him about two feet from the fofa, extended straight, entirely rigid, and insensi- ble; he recovered @ little until | called up the servant, when he again went into spasms. Upon obtaining as- ristance from neighbor Parsong, 1 bled him, which oc- casioned a little relaxation but a violent spasm again returned. and we supposed him unable to recover. By, however, forcing some anti-spasmodics betweon his tecth, he, after a fow hours, recovered, and was, appurentiy, almost relieved, conversing, and feeling yery comfortable, He felt slight pain in the back, but felt as if he had recovered. So passed Sabbath-day, and all appeared going on well. His brother-in-law came down, and he transacted some business, under the impression that they might return; but at 11, he was 60 comfortable | retired for a while, and he fell asleep, although he said he felt afraid todoso. At nearly one, I was called, and found him relapsing Bleeding relieved him. and he felt as if the spasms, which | thought would carry him off, were subdued; but in a few minutes they returned, and affecting the thorax, he could not recover from it. I felt it my duty, before his interment, to make a post mortem examination, and found about two inches of the rectum. at the very upper part, ina state of ulce- tation, which no doubt was the exciting cause of the apparent tetanic convulsions which were so violent, almost beyond description, and destroyed him, my request to have counsel on Sunday, but he declined it until Monday; and before that day arrived, the mes- senger came that set the seal of eternity upon the ac- tions of life, T have been minute in this detail, as I supposed you would wish, Your family are all well, and Mrs, Nott recovering. It may be proper to inform you, that, upon the arrival of Mrs, Nott’s brother, it was deem- ed prudent that he should make some arrangement of his temporal affairs, and which he had often before spekenof. ‘This he did, for the benefit of Mrs. Nott. Thope not only to hear from you, but te see you, as soon as your business will peri With great regard and esteem, I remain yours, truly, O. K, HARDENBROOK. J.W. Fiver, MD. Examinatiom continued.—I reeoived that letter when Iwas at Greenville, fifty miles east of St. Louts; I sheuld think it was his writing, and purports to bo from Dr. Hardenbrook, and | suppose and believe it is (Dr. Fiteh was ably crossexamined by H.

Brxevicr, sworn.—Resides near Nott’s house, in this city; first heard of his death on the morning he died; T went to the house between eight and nine that morning; Mrs, Benedict was with me; wo rang the bell, and Dr, Hardenbrook came tothe door; I never spoke to him but once; he opened the door, and the first re- mark by him was, “ We don’t receive company;”” I re- marked that we were aware that Mr. Nott haddied, and called to tender our services; he said there was nothing to do there; | asked bim what he died with; he said con- vulsions; Mrs, Benedict asked him how Mrs, Nott was; the Doctor said she was not well enough to see any company; we did not get in. Cross-examined—I never knew the Doctor except by a casual introduction to him in the morning; don’t know whether he recognised me that morning or not; don’t think he ever saw Misa Benedict before. It now being 6 o'clock a motion was made to adjourn, and the Court adjourned until 1 past 8 o'clock to- morrow morning. At the adjournment, the District Attorney announced that he was through with one part of the testimony, and to-morrow would proceed with the examination of the physicians, who wore pre- nen the post mortem examination of the body of Mr. Nott.

From recent cecurrences, one would conclude that there is body of men amongst us, who are desirous to emulate you “ New Yorkers,” in get- ting upamob. AsI have not seen anything in your paper in relation te this excitement, I will give you some of the facts of the case, as they are calculated to affect, more or less, every class of the community, in enhancing the price of coal. About two weeks ago, a break ovcurred in the Dela- ware Canal, near Easton, This, of course, occasioned a large accumulation of loaded and empty boats at either side of the break. ‘This calamity to the Stato works may be set down as the primary cause of the disgraceful procoedings thatfollowed, Wherever there have been combinations among laborers to increase their pay, {t almost always has occurred when they have been accidentally congregated together. As in the present instance. they seem to rely upon numbera and animal force, to bring about the ehange so engerly desired; not stopping to consider the consequences that may. perchance, result from their conspiracy, It would bo well if euch evil disposed persons would reflect be- fore they act, lest they subject. themselves to the rigo- Four penalty of the Inw which they so precipitously neur, It is estimated that there are at this time 800 boats lying in the vicinity of our borough; each boat is manned. by two or three hands, to. say nothing of the women and children on board. Most of these boats are in the employ of the Maueh Chunk Company, and it is believed that, at present, they are scarcely receiv- ing remunerating prices for their labor. Thisaccounts for the apparent sympathy which has been manifested by our citizens, in refusing to turn out to aid the sheriff. Of course, this lawless procedure is not justi- fiablo upon the ground of too sinall compensation for their labor, ther: fore there i# @ manifest obligation on the part of the people to help to sustain the supremacy of the law. Among the loaded boats detained, are many belong- ing to aud cons to individuals and companies, some of whom are suffering great inconvenionee ani lors by the detention.
