We have been watching, with some little curi- osity, the movements, declarations and antics of cabinet ministers and cabinet correspondents, as well as some of the outside editors, brought about by our pubhshing the very curious and unique cor- respondence which recently appeared in our co- yumns, and which was claimed by Mr. Geo. W. Brega, of Washington, a very worthy gentleman, | holding a high post in the Land Office, and under the immediate influence and power ot Mr. Clay- ton, Mr. Ewing and other members of the cabinet. Finding that the former dose produces amusing ef- fects in high quarters, we are busy preparing ano- ther of the same sort—‘‘one more left,” as the qezor strop man says to the public. In searching among our papers, we have disco- vered a further batch of correspondence from the same quarter, disclosing further funny movemeats of the cabinet, and foreshadowing more of their curious policy, both foreign and domestic, all of which we shall publish, including also the recent correspondence, with the full name of the writer attached to each letter, verbatim et lileratim, as they were written by the individual humseif, and as they can be sworn to by the foreman and proof- readers in our office. We mean to show, in its length and breadth, by these singular develope- ments, the utter unfitness of the present cabinet for the positions which they at present occupy, and their entire incapacity to conduct the affairs of a great nation under General Taylor, whose great name and noble reputation, as well as his honest and pure principles, have been materially injured during the last few months, by their folly and in- sufliciency. On the first publication of this correspondence, some days since, it seems, that the writer, Mr. Brega, who is the same individual that occupies a high post in one ofthe departments, and, therefore, undoubtedly uader cabinet influence, has thought proper to come out with a card in the Washington Republic, and declare those letters to be in a great measure fabricated and garbled, in such a way as to change their character and purposes entirely. We shall show, by the disclosures which we are | about to make, and by the most indisputable evi- denoe, onthe oaths of dozens of unimpeachable and moral men, that every item, word and letter of the correspondence is perfectly authen- tic, and has proceeded from George W. Brega. And, furthermore, we believe that the inter- views which he declares having had with seve- ral members of the cabinet, and the conversa- tions which he gives, are all equally authentic and truthful. But more than this. On or about the very-time that the famous “card,” signed George W. Brega, denying their authenticity, appeared in | the Washington Repudlic, the following note w: received from Washington, addressed to us on envelope, and written toa gentleman connected with this office, who manages this department :— NOTE FROM G. W. BREGA., Wann Nov. 14, 1849. In reply to your favor of yesterday's date, | beg to way | will exert myself im every way, to procure, at the earliest possible moment, the documents, ke. | think 1 can succeed in placing yo vance, with many of them, and as soon as other swith the residue us of having ® personal jeavor to be in Meanwhile never euf- nothing w rd me greater pleasure than being able to forward in any way the interests of bis At to the balaner bout three weeks ai e. | think I wrote recularly iT the last payment. and some e, in all, somewhere about four weeks Lowever, whatever he deems correct. will be perfectly satisfactory tome. Jam, yours truly. GEO. W. BREGA From the terms of this note, st certainly would seem that the “card” signed by the same name in the Washington Republic, must be spurious alto- | gether, or has been procured by some miracle, and inserted by Mr. Clayton and the cabinet, in order 10 change the issue if they could, and thus prevent the laugh which ie rapidly rising against them in the public face Our contemporary of the Courvr and Enguirer allowed some very disrespectful remarks, the other day, to be made of Mr. Brega in his columns. This is very unkind; for it 18 well known that our Mr. Brega was formerly a cor- respond: y cone eae Sees, Coe ee | statesman selected by Mr. Clayton to represent the at Washington, and after the refusal of our contemporary to pay him what he owed him, (a common practice of the new Minister to Vienna,) be abandoned that journal, and sought employment as correspondent of the New York Herald, small weekly salary, which was givenhim. During the time he has been writing for us, he has acted with great industry, and given us complete satis- faction. Soon after the induction of the present cabinet, we discovered that Mr. Brega oceupied a high position in the Land Office, and that, in his correspondence, he rather favored the special views of Mr. Clayton and the cabinet, than guided himeelt by any other direction whatever. Be that as it may, we have not the slightest doubt but the dnterviews between him and Mr. Clayton, and the descriptions which he gave ot their policy and views, are all correct, and are true to the letter, notwithstanding the necessity under which he felt himeelf call“d- upon, recently, to come out and quali- fy them, if the “card” in the Republic really was his. The disere,vancy between the original letters, descriptive of the “abinet policy, and his last card in the Washington Republic, 18 not a matter in which we have any eoucern, ind we do not mean to trouble ourselves abo: tt It, a8 far as he is con- cerned. For the satisfact, on of the public, we in. tend to commence a suit at la'W against the proprie- tors of the Republic, in Washington, and also against the proprietor of the Cow ‘er and Enquirer, im this erty, in order to bring the Whole matter before « court and jury, and thus prov. to the world that the correspondence which we have published, and the additional letters which we sha.’ publish itten since. about the navigation laws, stocks, | for a} in a few days, are all correctly printed from the original manuscripts, now in our possession. We will prove all this in the suit which we mean to bring before a court and jury, and thus establish the fact beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the cabinet have been at the bottom of all this foolsh and funny business, and that they en- deavored, by those droll negotiations, to get an independent journal under their clutches, and, in the meanest possible way, to stifle the freedom ot the press. This awful rupture, and an amusing one, too, between the cabinet and the Herald, will pro- bably give Mr. Clayton and his associates more trouble than even the rupture with the French minister, or the dread of a war with the French republic. We mean to make it as funny and as frightful as possible—funny to the public, and frightful to the cabinet—before we have done. The Extraordinary Foreign Policy of the Clayton Cabinet—The Mission to Aus- tra, The atrocious butcheries i in Hungary being lat- terly confined to unresisting women and children, and the late revolutions which threatened the ex- istence of Austria being suppressed, the House of Hapsburg has turned its attention to its fore’ a alliances. It appears, from the Clayton organs, that, as if from a sense of gratitude for the sympathy of the American cabinet with the European despots in their recent struggles, the Court of Vienna, as the first step in its foreign policy, has raised the jate chargeship to the United States to a first class mission. In the present state of the contest be- tween republicanism and despotic power, this new move of the Austrian government is one of the most remarkable things of the day. What motive could have induced the Austrian cabinet to pay this singular compliment to our government, at such atime? Various reasons may be assigned for the humiliating afluir. For the last few months, Mr. Clayton has seized upon every opportunity to show his respect to military and despotic powers, in the old world and the new, and has appropriated every occasion to pick a quarrel with more liberal go- vernments, and especially with the republic of France, our natural ally from mstinct and histori- cal associations. It is well known that he delayed the recognition of Hungarian independence, under the pretext of the appointment of a private agent to that country; but from recent disclosures, 1t appears that this private agent was instructed to act more in deference to menarchy than from any sympathy with Kossuth and his brave associates, battling for their independence. At all events, it 1s one of the most remarkable and humiliating circumstances that could befall our government, at such a time as this, tobe receiving and reciprocating compliments with the brutal butchers of the bloodiest govern- ment vpon earth—the execrated house of Austria. A decent sense of respect for public opinion would have vindicated the suspicion of all official inter- course with a government so utterly disgraced in the eyes of the world. A declaration of sucha resolution would have established the popularity of the cabinet, and the admiration of every civilized people. But, true to his education in the school of the alien and sedition laws, true to legitimacy and the monarchical hypocrisies of law and order, our Secretary of State accepts the bloody hand of Austria, and admits his obligations of reciprocity. The first object, then, 1s to return the compliment received, in a manner becoming the sympathies and sentiments of the masters of Haynau and his hangmen, cut-throats, and common butchers. To do this, Mr. Clayton, of his own volition, and with- outa shadow of warrant from Congress, under- takes to change the mission of Caharge, which hes heretofore existed at Vienna, to that of a full minister, with all its advantages and perquisites, equal to $18,000 for the first year. To perfect the entente cordiale between our cabinet and the blood- stained, filthy butchers of the cabinet of Austria, this step was necessary and proper. We suppose that Austria will lead off in this diplomatic reci- precity, by sending Haynau as minister to the United States. It would be an interesting spec | tacle to see him fraternizing with the minister appomted by our cabinet ; for, if he has not yet been sentenced to the State prison of Austria and pordoned out, he deserves it all. ‘The next consideration was, to secure the pro- | per maf, whose temperature and character should harmonize with the tender mercies of the Austrian chief buteher to the prisoners, the widows and or- phons of desolated Hungary. Now, of all men | Pe esessed of the peculiar qualities—the morale ne- cessary for this responsible mission to the blood- iest and most barbarous government upon earth— the appointment made is most creditable to the wonderful sagacity of the cabinet. A man of tact, discretion, knowledge of the world, and of that class of men whose high character and sterling abilities have given to the whig party an endunng respectability, would not answer. Such a mission would be beneath the level of Clay, below the dig- nity of Webster, and equally insulting to Man- gum, Binney, Sergeant, Winthrop, or any man of that stamp. Sach men would about as soon con- gratulate themselves on such an appointment, ag would an honest custom house officer upon an invitation to a nest of pirates. the cabinet go to find their man—to pick up a suitable minister to the reeking court of Vi- enna, who, reposing upon their laurels, await in the Volks Garden, or amid the corruptions of Schonbrunn, the arrival of our Eavoy Extraordi- nary? They have found him. For this distin- guished and flattering mission they have selected one of the moet notorious journalists of this coun- try—a man who was opposed (o the people's choice of General Taylor, until reeistance was useless; but, possessing all those qualities, ina highdegree, required for the Court of the butchers of Vienna. llis history was before the cabinet, and its cert fieates were sufficient. He is ideatified as the in- stigator of the murder of Cilley:.he is implicated among the plunderers of the United States Bank to « large amount; and the item of two hun- dred thousand dollars was wiped from his accounts by the sponge of the bankrupt law. Above all, he is the identical personage tried as a criminal before one of our courts, found guilty upon his owa confession, and ready for five years in the State prison, but was repneved by the Christian clemency of the Governor. Such is the sympathies of the cabinet for Austria, and her re- morseless butcheries of the Hungarian prisoners, and women and children. Such 1s the humiliating position in which our government is placed before the world. Can the degradation of the cabinet deseend lower then this? Hitherto, their policy, with Mr. Clayton as their leader, has been the ridicule and emueement of the opposition, and a subject of constant mortification to the men of sense of their own party. They have now filled the measure of their folly and disgrace. Hut will the Senate confirm this splendid ap- pointment! Will the House consent to the in- creased expenses of this mission, and other pro- posed extravagances, when it appears that the first year’s bungling and squendering of this most pre- sap cabinet will exhibit a deheiency rising twen- millions of dollaret We undertake to predict { at the mission will not be raised, and that the minieter will be rejected. Let the new havoy, therefore, make the most of his time, and be 0} at once for Austria. If recalled, he will, at least, pocket the profits. Don’t wait for the Senate. Srrep or American Streamsnivs.—We give, in another column, an interesting correspondence re- lative to the recent trial of speed between the splendid steamers Cresent City and Ohio. They ran at sea at the rate of eleven and twelve knots, equal to thirteen and fourteen land miles, per hour— outstripping the speed of any other ocean steamers In these waters. But even this will be beaten. Steamehipes are now on the stocks and in contem- plation, destined to surpass the epeed of the C. C. and ©., in rougher weather than they experienced on their recent trial, — Where, then, do | Orgra anv Fasui0n.—Great doubts have here- tofore been entertained, in our fashionable circles, relative to the permanent establishment of the opera jn this city, under any auspices or any manage- ment. This spirit of despondency, in our gay circles, relative to the refined amusement of the opera, has prevailed for some time, in consequence of the repeated failures of former managers—some by bad management, others by bad temper, and all, probably, by faults on every side, among the audience, the artists, and the managers. Since the beginning of the present season, under Max Maretzek, hopes have been entertained that the time had at length arrived when the opera might be permanently established asa refined and ele- gant amusement for the fashionable circles of New York and the neighboring cities. Since the com- mencement of the present season, we have watched with a good deal of interest the progress of the opera at the Astor Place Theatre; and although we had occasionally some misgivings, we must now acknowledge, from the evidence furnished during the last few nights, that there 1s every appearance and every expectation that Max Maretzek will sue- ceed in the object which he has contemplated, and that the Italian Opera has now a fairer chance of being permanently established among the fashiona- ble circles of this city, than at any former period durmg the lasttwenty-five years. The new troupe, with some slight exceptions, have given great satis- faction to the patrons of the opera; but, above and beyond all, the new prima donna, Signorina Bertuceat, who has appeared on two successive evenings, in * Otello,” has created a feeling of ad- miration and ecstacy in all quarters, which augurs well for the success of the troupe, and the high position which that interesting and remarkable artiste has already attained in public opinion. Compared with former artistes of the highest rank, she is as complete a novelty 1 the opera here as Jen- ny Lind was when she first made her appearance in England and other parts of Europe. According to the best judges of music, 1t is said that her voice resembles that of the celebrated Swedish cantatrice; and from the extraordinary applause and admira- tion with which she has been received in this country, there seems to be no doubt of the com- plete success and triumph of the opera during the present season. Signor Forti also meets the ex- pectation of the fashionable and gay world who frequent the Astor Place Theatre. Goahead, Max Maretzek. ‘Tue Government Finances.—It is now admit- ted by the organs of the cabinet, that the finances of the government, since the present party came into power, show a deficiency of some fifteen or twenty millons of dollars, and that the present ad- ministration will ask for a loan equal to that amount, of the new Congress, which will assemble in Washington next month. Thisis rather a sorry beginning to the new session of Congress, under the auspices of the new cabinet. When we nomi- nated General Taylor for the Presidency, in ad- vance of all others, and supported him to the day of his election, we promised the people of the Uni- ted States that the expenses of the government would be diminished, that economy would be ob- served, and that the receipts weuld be equal to the disbursements of all the departments. The pre- sent cubinet, however, have spoiled everything. In a time ot profound peace, they endeavor to increase the expenses of the government in every possible way, and now come before the country asking for an increase to our debt, of ten, filteen, or twenty millions of dollars. The only excuse given for this,'is the extravagance of the former administration, and the expenses of the Mexicen war. This will hardly serve the purpose of an apology. Mait ARRANGEMENTS.—A .very important mail arrangement between the North and the South is about expiring, and we wish to call the attention of the Postmaster General to its continuance. By the terms of the present coutract, the mail line, leaving Philadelphia for Baltimore every evening at 10 o’elock, will cease running after the 10th of December, and if the contract 1s not renewed, after that time we shall be deprived of that important South. The great Southern mail from this city, and all North and East, leaves this city on the af- ternoon of each day, and, under existing arrange- ments, reaches Baltimore and Washington early the next morning ; whereas, if the line that leaves Philadelphia at 10 o'clock every night is disconti- nued, the mail will not leave Philadelphia until the next morning. The Postmaster General will be at present. columns to-day. freesoil and the Wilmot proviso. It is evident the givings out of the Washington letter writers Telative to the new proposition for a compromise’ which hes been circulated through the newspapers. one can tell where it will end.

Baron Rover, (La.,) Nov, 20, 1849. The boiler of the steamer Louisiana, Captain J. W. Cannon, exploded on the 16th inst, at 5 o’clock, P. M., nearly opposite Gravier street, spreading death and destruction in neeriy every direetion. At the time we write, it is impossible to ascertain the number of lives lost. The reports range from 80 to 130—though we hope this will prove to be exaggerated. One of the officers of the boat stated to us that there were about fifty cabin passengers on board; but asall the cabin aft the wheelhouse was uninjured, we hope many of them were saved, One gentleman informed us that he assisted some ten or twelve, mostly ladies, from the wreck. Accounts differ as to the number of persons on the boiler deck and foreeastle, at the time of the explosion. The boat was abeut starting for St. Louis, and had rung her lat bell, but was to haul alongside of an emi- grant vessel, for the purpose of taking on board 200 deck passengers, who providentially escaped being in- volved in the dreadful calamity. ‘The steamer Bostona had her upper works greatly shattered; and Captain Dustin, her commander, who was severely injured, it is feared, will not recover. ‘The steamer Storm, which was lying on the lower side of the Louisiana, was more injured than the Bos- topa, She had just arrived, and had not made her lines fast when the explosion occurred. Several per- sons on board the Storm were killed. Fortunately, there were no passengers on board. ‘The force of the explosion was appalling. The glass on the front of the Levee was shattered at the distance of one thousand feet from the boat, and the shock was sensibly felt at the further extremities of the city, The forecastle of the Louisiana sunk in the mud; but the stern being in deep water, caused the bow to slide off with it. ‘The persons who were saved on board the Louisiana, and were relieving the sufferers, bad to leave, in order to save their own lives, There were some twenty or thirty who were obliged to swim for their lives; and the whole wreck slipped into deep water and disap- peared. The following is a list of the killed, wounded and missing, as far as ascertained :— KILLE!

The two former were en ‘Tui night taken into custody by officer Olsom, and conyey- ed before Justice Lothrop, who committed them to prison for a further bearing. Itis believed now, that the balance of the stolen money will be recovered, as the prisoners are clearly identified in opening the box and extracting the money. In this way the money was extracted from the box without the knowledge of the wife, they having taken the lion’s share, leaving herouly three thousand out of the ten thousand dollara, ‘The wife, Natalie J.

We understand that they are in a prosperous condition. The voyages of the Washington and Hermaan, daring the present year, have been performed with the greatest pune- tuality, and without meeting with the slightest acci- dent. They have also been very profitable; but the: earnings of the ships had to be applied, in the first in- stance, to the liquidation of indebtedness on account of the building of the steamers, the cost of which, it ap~ pears, considerably exceeds the amount of capital stock subscribed. We are informed that the direotors contemplate making a full report and statement, at the expiration of the year; we, therefore, refrain from: entering into any detaiis, We would mention, how- er, that from all we cau learn, we have every reasom to believe that the prospects of this company—-the pioneers of American ocean steam navigation—are very fair. We wish them success with all our heart. ‘There are counterfeit $100 bills on the Broadway Bank, altered from genuine 2's.

Thie bank has no genuine bills ofa higher denomination than 100. We have for a long time been of the opinion that the running expenses of our railroad companies were much. larger than any of them reported or admitted, and we have, therefore, looked upon the management of most of our railroads as dishonest, deceptive and destructive of public confidence in those important works of inter- nal improvement. The annexed statement, showing the gross earnings, expenditures, and net revenue of the Wilmington and Roanoke Railroad Company, in cach of the past nine years, agrees pretty well with our ideas of proportionate expenses to income ; and if the reports of our railroad companies generally were mado up by an examining committee, or made up fairly and honestly by the management, wo should find a different state of things from that now exhibited.

States make out the running expenses at about an average of fifty per cent; that is all they show. The balance, or rather the excess over that, is carried into construction account. The entire earnings of some roads are appropriated to the payments of dividends; and the running expences, interest, and overy other item ef expenditure carried bedily into construction ac- count, not under their proper names, but in some shape: 80 mysterious, that the poor. blind, infatuated, innocent stockholders never know how the cost of the roed be- comes 80 great. The regular payment of dividends ers receive three or four per cent every six months on their investment, they never think of inquiring whe- ther it is earned or not; they unanimously accept the annual reports, without reading them, and re-elect the | their ability or honesty.

A good locomotive, of the heaviest kind now used, will draw a train of fifty londed wagons, OF & grot# weight of 975 tons, at aspeed of from fitteom to twenty miles an hour; but the same engine will only to draw, on the rame line, @ train of twenty~ five wagons—being haif of the abore weight 6 peed of thirty miles an hour, Thus, the thirty miles #peed cost double the slower epeed of Aftoon ot twenty. besides the great additional wear and tear. TI demand for power increases in rapid proportion to the at the rate of ten miles our, & locomotive will draw 260 tons; but push the speed to thirty miles an hour, and it will only draw twenty- eight tons, In France and Germany, railway traine. run at @ low rate of speed, aay fifteen or twenty miles an hour, and thus enable companies to charge light fares, while they insure the safety of the passengers. In the United States, partioularly in the northern speed is frequently made on roads with high grades and short carves; and, as competition in- ‘peed must be greater, of course the 1d tear of road and machinery increased, The running expenses of our roads is likely, therefore, to increase, unless alterations are made in the roadway. ‘The Western Railroad through Massachusetts, and the ¢ Railroad in this State, have probably higher grades and worse curves than any other roads in this coun. try, the running expenses, repairs of roadway &e., must be proportionably greater.
