New York, Saturday, July 20, 1850. Telegraphic News—Derangement of the Telegraphs. In consequence of the great storm of Thursday night, the numerous telegraphs were deranged, and were not in working order to the hour of our going | to press this morning. We are, therefore, unable to give the proceedings of Congress yesterday, or any intelligence trom other parts of the country. The Affairs of Hayt!—Our Claims on that Government. The recent arrival from Port au Prince, brings us dates to the fifth of the present moath. Our latest despatches are of a privete character. Other cor- respordence, to the middle of last month, will be found in our columns. Some very singular facts are coming out with respect to the policy of Sou'ouque, orfFaustin the First, as he is pompously styled. The origin of his policy, ard the mode and means of carrying it out, are becoming more clear, alse, everyday. We can undersiand now the cause of the very pacific tone of Soulouque, as echoed by the Boston Traveller, two or three days ego, when an arrival from Hayti was announced in that paper. Mr. Benjamin C. Clark, of Boston, has heen appointed, by a royal commi sion of the dingy Emperor, “ Haytien Commercial Agent General of the United States.” Whether ornot this eminent Boston merchant will accept | the distinguished honor offered to him, is a matter of doubi—but we cannot suppose that he has not, at some period, entertained the idea of wearing the dark Juurel now within his grasp. It is well known that he is fitting out aship for Fussy the First, to be added to the navy in preparation against the Dominicans, and an additional honor would be the natural desire of a man fired with a highly colored ambition. The Boston mer- ebant is not without a peer, who appears in the shape end person of Mr. Joseph P. Cou- thouy, who is soon to be, or is, at Boston, en route to Washington. Ie is probably commissio ed to bear the bleck seul of the black Emperor’ commission to Mr. Clark, to consult with him on the best means of pulling Haytien wool over the eyes of the United States government, and to de- Vive a method to assure the people at lurge that | Soulougue does not intend to make an assault upon the Dominicons. Ali this, however, wil! not de.— We understand the movement theroughly, and the visionary Mr. Couthbouy, perhaps, will find that the cabinet at Washington will not be disposed to en- tertain him very cordially, however zealous, active and energetic he may be in the cause of his royal master. The whole parpove of his visit is to get fe ® correspondeace on our cliims upon Ha and to proiract it till September, at whieh time Soulouque purposes to be ready with his navy to act upon the Spanish population. AJl the bazz about a treaty betweea them aad Soulougue, is got up by there merchant diplomats, to lure our gov ment into a false belief. Soulouque has declared that his “oath of offi of attacking the Dominicans, and he is precisely superstitious enough to be bound by it, if the con- struction of it suits him. Now, under the whole view of the case—under the judgment arow spondence—we if our government are disposed 40 be trifled with by the © commercial travellers” of Busey the First. T documents connected with our long standing claims against Hayti were published by the twenty-seventh Congress, and are | y as about as pretty a piece of history and of pi ean be found in our annals. Are we to delay urgi them? And, above all, are we to protract, perhaps for years, the settlement of them, merely that Mr. Clark may get pay for his ship, and the foreign parties for the steamer soon to be sent to Soulouque from England? We expect a full answer will be given at Woshington—and that, too, quickly, but Bot too boon Death or Sin death of this eminent English stat an, produced a@great sensation in this city yesterday, and was received with general t t by all classes of our community. It showed that not only did his fame reach the New World, but that he had on, this eide of the Atlantic, almost asmany admirers as he hed on the other. The career of § Peel was extraordi- mary.

We have full faith that they will be of different stuff from that of the Galphin clique. Mecting of the New York Academy of Medl- cine, This body held a special meeting, last evening, at the small Chapel of the University. The call of the meeting was read by Dr. Adams, Recording Secretary. Dr. Isaac Wood, President of the Academy, address- ed the meeting, and in a feeling manner made mention of the public loss which had befallen the coustry, in the death of General Taylor. He called upon the So- ciety to unite with other public bodies of the city, in an expression of its sympathy. Dr. Warren then rose, and addreseed the meeting, descanting in a manner of profound emotion upon the virtues of the deceased, and the loss the country has suffered. He hoped that the Academy would fittingly express the feeling and sympathy it experienced. Dr. Fn then addressed meeting. He said every heart is moved at the loss; the people at large lament his decease, It is a great and mournful loss to the country. We come here as general mourners in @ ociety to unite with the city authorities to eomme- mo sympathy. We come not here as politicians, but to show the propriety of expiessing our feelings. Dr. F. concluded by offering a resolution, that the Academy, uniting in the deep and heartfelt regret which over- whelms the American Republic, will unite with the public authorities of the city in a public demonstra- tion of sorrow, to commemorate the melancholy dis- pensation of Providence, Resolved, That crape be worn by the members of the Society for sixty days, in respect to the memory of the late President.

Witminoron, Delaware, July 15, 1850. Having a few hours to spare, after transacting little business in the pretty town of Wilmington, Del., I thought I could not do better than enjoy the oppor- tunity thus presented of seeing and judging for myself of the merits of St. Mary's College, which is beginning to acquire such note, as a place of edu- cation, Having done so, I think I cannot lay before your readers, especially if they are parents, informa- tion more interesting than the result of my obser- vations, On presenting myself, as a stranger, desirous of freeing the college, I was entrusted to the care of one of the officials, who most politely attended me through every part of the establishment, and readily gave me every information I required. Everything I saw seemed calculated to insure success in the studies of the pupils, as well as to promote their health and comfort. The College consists of two parts, the old and the new. To the inspeetion of the new building, 105 feet long amd 75 feet high, I devoted more pat ticular attention. Before describing it, however, it may be as well to say that the play-ground, imme- diately behind the building, is covered with sand, two or three feet deep, a circumstance which is attended by two evident and very !mportant ad- vantages. A fall, however violent, c.anot here be ef much consequence, aad almost immediately after rain, the ground is in nearly xs good a condition as ever, for the indulgence of those sports boys love 80 much, It is, moreover, surrounded on all ¢ides by a covered portico, where the students can walk and play, when the weather or the beat of the sun renders their usual amusements impracticable. The ground. 8 Eat devoted to he next story is floor of the new building play, wash, and music rooms. most altogether taken up with the study. ball, a mag: nificent room, about ninety-five feet by sixty. and nearly twenty feet high. It is provided with desks, one for cach student. One regulation connected with this subject, proved to me how successfully the art of education has been studied here. No student is al- | lowed to remain at studies, or class, for more than one hour and a half, at furthest. Ie must then go and take recreation for at least ten minutes, This has been found to be attended with the happiest effects, his mind or body exbaus ing too long upon the stretch, can devote t! | powers of both. to play or lessons, and while « in either Ned ae fenre time must slip insensibly away, The next story is divided into lecture and class rooms, | of which there are in all eight cr ten, one for each teacher. This story also contains the chapel, anda | room for drawing and painting. The next story con- tains the dormitory, one hundred feet long and sixty | wide, fully capable of nccommodacing onc hundred and | thirty students, Besides having foerteen windows, it is provided with @ ventila'ing apparatus, so that on the coldest night in winter, as well as the hottest in summer, the vir is always sweet and pure. The utmost order, neatness, and cleanliness, were everywhere ob- servable In the old part of the eollege, are the re- tectory, the inflrmartes, the professors’ rooms, &e. Three years ago there was not a single stone of this | college standing upon another. Now, it contains 120 boys, from every part of the Union, and enjoys a wide- spread reputation. Though it is essentially a Catholic institation, I, however, learn that many Protestant parents, conscious of the superior advantages it af- | fords, have econfidentiy pixced their children tn the | hande of the President. Upon making some inquiries into the cause of this surprising success, I tearned the following facts. Besides the good reputation for careful pils, which it enjoys with many other colleges, this es- | tablishment bas acquired a character peculiar to it- | self. It professes to qualify boys to discharge ably and | rutisfactorily the duties they aust soon enter upon, | h, for varlous reasons, are mostly of a commercial | For this purpose, every effort is made for the | tion of a thorovgh Englich education.
