BTOIPAN! BALL—Tssceave New Bvetayn OLYMPIC-Pexonaws or IngLann, New York, Tuesday, Janeary 28, 1851, Arrival of the Arctic. The Collins’ steamship Arctic arrived at her deoek early lust evening, after having been detained at Halifax, where she had entered for coal, the supply furnished at Liverpool being unequal to the demaniis of her furnaces. The news brought by her, having been received already, by telegraph, we have only to present Jars, furnished by our files of European papers. They give but little elucidation of the principal po- litical even!—the trouble in the cabinet of Lous Napoleon. w have been made with respect to the future advi- were of the French President; and we are only left te surmiee that if Genera! Changarnier should be tweated with any want of consideration by the Pre sident, there i nothing more probable than that very important results may spring trom such an ae? Telegraphic Summary. A very important vote wae taken in the House ef Representatives, yesterday, on the question of suspending the rules, in orderfto take up the River and Harbor bill. it was important, iaasmuch as the mover put it on the ground of e test motion. The result was, the House refused, by a vote of ome hundred and sixteen to seventy, to suspend the rules. We, therefore, think that this subject will lie over till next session, along with the tariff question and other matte! The bill to supply deficiencies for eppropriations during the present fecal year, was debated at colsiderable length Now that the eppropriation bills have been taken up, we hope they wil! engege the attention of the House until they are disposed of. One of our Washington correspondents informs us that the aes democrats are in favor of modifying the present tariil, so as to increase the duties on foreign coe! and iron. A concession of this kind will, no doubi, be made by the democrats in both houses, | an view of the next presidential election; for a very | mmportant section of the country, Pennsylvania, | will be secured by it to the democratic candidate. In the Senate, petitions were presented praying for the establishment of a line of steamships to Africa, and from Philadelphia to Brazil. The bill to ascertain and settle private land claims in Cali- fornia occupied that body for some time, and was debated until, for want of @ quorum, the Senate adjourned. Our little neighbor, Williamsburgh, is, it appears, about to be incorporated asa city. She certainly has some met'le, but we he@pe her ambition will not overleap itself. Conoress ann THE Prptic Lanps.—The Senate of the United States, dur ng the present Congress, have been remarkably liberal with the public land§ to railroads in the new States, to canals, and slack water navigation. Under the brilliant idea that by giving away, along the line of such improvoments, one half the public lands, in a strip of twelve miles wide, they increase the price of the remaining half to double their original value, the most extensive grants are made among the mere incidental bus- neers of the morning hour. The latest specimen of this sort of senatorial liberality is in the bill, just pateed by the Senate, providing the right of way | and @ great of the public lands to aid in the con- suction of a railroad from Jackson, Miss , to Ma- disonville, Le ; and also fora similar grant to railroad from the Ohio river, opposite Louisvil: Ky., to St. Louis, Missouri. The grant in each ease is the alternate sections of a strip of land twelve miles wide, the whole length of the road; for where the lands along the line are taken up, ther /ands are to be selected in lieu thereof. The | grants proposed by this bill will be equal to some | four millions of acres of land—equivalent to a draft upon the treasury of five millions of dollare—after @ brief discussion of an hour. This bill, however, ie but a small offair. We perceive there is another bill before the Senate for equalizing the grants of Public lands to the States in which they lie, under which some twenty millions of acres—e twenty-five millions of dollars—are to be distributed among the States. But even this bill isa smal potato compared with the scheme of Mr. Walker, which proposes to grant the whole of the public | 6 lands to the States in which they lie, to be by them distributed in free farms of one hundred and |} sixty acres, to actual settlers. Among all these different schemes, including the 80,000,000 of acres required to meet military land warrants, it is manifest that within a few years the government will be relieved of ‘he burden of its public domain The question then arises, are not the old States entitled to a shore in the general scramble? In Gen. Jackson's time the « 8 proceeds from the public lands were distributed among all the States. New York got her proportion, of which she is still enjoying the benefit. We take it, that if it is con. sti(utional to distribute the money, it is oniy upona hair-eplitting abstraction that the power to dietribute the lands among all the States can be denied. ‘They are the property of all the States. New York hareholder in the public domain in Iilinois, and in all the other States in which they lie, as well as those States themselves. While, there- fore, Congress is voting away millions of acres to | railroads and cenals in the West, why is it that cannot have a few thor or Erie railroads, or for the enlarge canal, or for the removal of the ment of the Erie verslaweh at Al- bany, or for the relief of Broadway !

Crallé, Esq, of Lynehburgh, Virginia, formerly the secretary of Mr.Calhoun, has through the prees the great work of the late Mr. Cal- hous,on the Constitution of the United States. South Cerolina has sppropriated ten thousand dellars to- wards publishing and distributing copies of the work throughout that State, and in conjunctioa with Mr. Calhoun’s’ family, has appointed Mr. Crallé to @arry out the intentions of the Legielature. tis proposed, also, to publish an edition large enough which Mr. Crallé also has the supervision. Mr. Crallé is edmirably calculated to edit, in a highty acceptable manner, the work on the consti- tution, and we are gratified to ‘earn that he will pubtis also, as early as possible, the life and | writings of Mr. Calhoun, in a series of six or seven handsome volumes. Such a work will be sought | for with avidity, by every one who takes an inte- | rest in the history and accomplishments of our great | republic and of our great publie men, and we shall | await the several ;ublications with uncommon | anxiety. | Tne Dominon or Tux Seas.—A shor: time since the American ship Oriental created a great sensa- uit by the beauty of her model, and her She was the subject of seve- | she created on the minds of the British public was | 80 favorable that it disturbed the equanimity of | | some of the ship builders there, one of whom | ventured to say, that if a carte blanche was given to him to build a ship, he would construct one that | would outsail the Onenta’, or any other American vessel.

We learn fromthe best authority that our New York merchants are about to build a | clippership which they wil! put in competition with any English vessel now in existence, or any that may be built. The challenge willbe sent by the Asia, the next steamship that will leave our shores for England, and the terms will be that the owners of the vessel which beats the o:her on a voyage frem New York to Liverpeol and back, will win the beaten vesse!.

We have been handed the following letter for addressed to Major Dembinski by Mrs. information in regard to Kossuth and his family. Mrs. Brown is a widow lady, now some 70 years of age. She is the sister of the late Com. Porter, and mother of John P. Brown, dragoman to our lega- tion at Constantinople, who is now accompanying Mr. Brewn, in common with his generous and Mrs. B. ar- rived a few month ago, in company with her son, from Constantinople, on a visit to her native land, after a long absence, having been his companion for many years in Turkey. We are very certain thet the perusal of her interesting letter will re- awaken the interest in behalf of Kossuth and the Hungarian refugees, which has been slumbering for the past few months. Last year, upon the ar- rival of the first refugees who Visited our shores, a deep and general sympathy was extended to General Ujhazy and his companions, and money was freely raised for their assistance. Never has there been a time when the aid of the good and ge @ was so much needed in of the ungarians; and never was there a cause hi ing. the hearts of the citizens o! this country. Hungarians who have arrived within the past year, and settled in this city, have established a society to aid their countrymen as they arrive upoa our shores. The gentlemen comprising the society have determined to make an eilort to raise funds whereby they may be enabled to extend the hand of succor to Kossuth and his compatriots, and prove the means to relieve the daily calls {made by their countrymen when they first land m our city. A great many influential citizens have proposed to unite with them in getting up a benefit for Kossuth and the Hungarian refu- gees; and the meeting to carry into eflect the de- sign, will be held at the Mercer House, corner of ercer and Droome streets, this evening, 28th in- stant, at seven o’clock. Annexed we give the letter from Mary P. Brown, referred to:— Cuitiicorug, Ohio, Jan. 18, 1851. My Dear Count and Countess Dembinski:—I wrote t you both, from Washington City, after [ had received the little letter from the Count; but since then I have not had a line from either of ou. 1 often think of you, and feel desirous ot owing how you are doing, and if you have suc- peers A your business; and I sincerely hope that you will wnite to me, and not only tell me every- thing that concerns yourselves, but all that you can inform me of the Governor, Kossuth, and your unfortunate exiled countrymen. Perhaps it will ‘ive you pleasure to know that I have received a etter from Mr. Shauftler, Rebec, Constantinople, who informs me that Madame Wagner, the lady who brought the Countess Emily D. to our honse, and who returned to Vienna to bring to Kossuth his children, has returned to Turkey, and is now at Kutaia, with Kossuth and his family. The Austri- ans had liberated the children before Madame ‘Wagner reached there, and had given permission for them and their tutor to leave Austria, if any- body would pay their expenses to Turkey. Ma- dame Wagner, hearing this, was rejoiced, and in disguise she found her way to where the tutor and children were staying, an ve to the tutor the money that Kossuth ‘had furnished her with for that purpose ; and asa publ conveyance would, in a few days, be ready to take them down the Danube, they were to be on board in time. Ma- dame Woguer kept herself in strict disguise, as a high reward was offered by the Austrians to an} one who would capture her, as they had learne that it was she who had gone in search of Madame JNossuth, in the interior of Hungary, in the midst of those vast pasture lands, inhabited only by the pasturers and their horned cattle, and where, after a long search, she found her, and after encounter- ing unheard of difficulties, this heroic lady passed, with her precious charge, all the Austrian soldiers, and brought, in safety, Madame Koseuth to her efllicted husband. But this, my dear friends, I need not dwell on, as you were at Shumla, and witnessed their ar- rival. But I will now return to the children and Madame Wagner, in Vienna. After she had ar- | ranged that they should embark in the Danube | steamer, she fefl ill ina pri hoarding house. | She had chills and fevers, with spitting of blood. The dey after she took ill, while she was laying in bed, and a friend of her sitting beside her, a | a strange or» entered her room, and addressed | her, saying, ‘* How do you, Madame Wagner! I | ami very sorry to see you so ill.” Madame Wag- ner being icious of her, did not reply, but le the sign ef the “secret police,” which the wilag | lady answered, convincing Madame Wagner that her suspicions were well founded. The T lady, seeing that she had betrayed herself by re- | turning the sign, left the room immediately, and said to the lady of the house that she would return in a few minutes, with a carriage, to take Madame | Wagner away, where she would be better taken care of. This lady was one of the “ secret police,’’ and had she captured Madame Wagner, she would | have gained the high reward, and Madame Wag- | ner would have been hung; but a kind Providence, | stronger claims uy wise. The lady, who was sitting beside the ved, | told Madame Wagner she had her carriage at the door. The poor sick lady left her bed, with only ber wrapper, &c., on, went down, and drove to a | piece of safety, leaving behind her two trunks, | ay with the ig ye a of sy agynb pow she ad got possession of in Hungrary, was then With difficulty, she reached the same steamer that Kossuth’s children were to go in. She still had money bound rouna her person, and with some of it she bribed the Austrian captain to conceal her until he was ready to stan. She was still in etnet disguise, so much so that when the children and tutor saw ber they did not recog- | nize her. In a few deys, she had to leave & place where none permitted to pass. the name she was geing by, and also wrote, going where you are going.” She s' paper into the tutor’s hand, and left the boat, got | into a very small Turkish boat, with three or feur | gailors, and without a bed or any of the comforts of life, this poor sick lady reached Constantinople. She went immediately to Rebec, and the house of the Kev. Mr. Shauiller. This gentleman you well know.

Mr. Van Buren urged that thi Prva tirely irregular; that no propor notice of the intended presentation of the pi the presenting of affidavit and its pr both irregular, anda fraud upon the det on the court. If courts should allow such of edure, there would be no protection to the its of parties concerned; that the occurrence re- ferred to by Mr. Chase took place some three weeks since; that he had noti 4d Mir. Chase that he should oppose such application; that, on leaving court, his ‘er, Mr Robinson, had remained till ite adjourn- ment, for the purpose of opposing the application. and that no such motion had been made to the know! eo of either of them. Mr. Van Buren inquired of Judge, if the motien had been made in open court. ‘The Court did not distinctly remember. Mr. Chase replied that it had.

The following ie the statement to-day, of the Astise tent Treasurer of the United States, at this port :— Received + $143,467 24 d, 90,540 47 Bal 9,881,608 08 The State Treasurer very fa+ vorable account of the publio finances since the ors genization of the government. The total receipts o the general fund, since the organization of the State government, were $160,218 68, and the expenditures $152,909 61, leaving a balance in the treasury of $7,448 92, The estimated receipts for 1851 are $104,628, and the expenditures $86,193 69. The school fund on the Ist inst., amounted to $538,094 41. The assessed value of taxable property in 1849 was $24 950 000, in 1856 $27,460,000— showing an increase in one year of $2,500,- 000, This small increase is the result of the act ef the last Legislature, changing the basis of taxable pro- perty. The Gevernor of Missouri represents the financial affairs of the Btate to be ina very flourishing condi- tion. On th t of October, 1850, there was in the treasury the sum of $436,195 55; but the revenue for the two years ending October 1st, 1850, was $520,735 29; and it is estimated that the revenue for the next two years, ifthere be no change in the present laws, will not fall short of $650,5:). The amount of taxable pro- perty in the State is set down at $79,456,547 97; of which the assessed value of land is $31,212,391 77; of town lote, $22,441,468; of slaves, $17,772,180; of other personal property, $7,731,508 20. The State owes the hank $124,026 46, or, at least, that ‘amount is claimed by Yer. The Governor proposes @ re organization of the bank, and the adoption of such measures as will entirely disconnect the State from it. The Btate debt is $966,251; but from this, two cums are to be taken, which will reduce it to $922,261 40; and from this may be deducted $272,263 20, amount of Btate stook in the bank, the interest on which is paid by and the bank is responsible for the principal, During the year 1851, $265,261 of State indebtedness falls due, amd this has to be provided for by the Legis- lature. The receipts of the Vermont and Messechusette Railroad Company for the year 1850 amounted to $177,004 68, against $145,117 69 in 1849—showing an inoreare, in 1350, of $32,567 99, Itis stated that the net profits of 1850, after paying expenses, interest on bonds, Ae., are a trife lees tham ene doilar per share of the capital stock. 134 i ease 2 ta 2 Stock Exchan, iat Imp 1847 87 = 100 sh ro fy ed pu sheFortemonth DD 300 4 nm 7 v6 ra © 108 gum ong er a “6 ra 0 Se OL 250 Reading 1 self BS o — 1 % 125% 1 do 9 » Ty “Wis ine ee f ort a7 100 Famers’ 060 663 290 fy 95) ad GN 130 Ho Hs i a0 ° Fy 1m 0 7 ° ib M a 30 00 it 100 ae aa a 200 © #* i do “mb B 7 $94 10 to to 2h 76 £7) ‘ "% wa Sq 175 a io Alab: & Be Py 60 i yf os J veo Ho babe 380 A Es Erce 0 un 100 Canten Co HO Long Island RR 100 Erie RR wo 10M ” vi0 BENEWAD RVERY DAY, M THR SUBSCRIBER, Ist (ay of Dosember, 1850, « light Grovery ody brown; eary ainted dark= aay informatio oft on. }OURREAU, 2 Nor the $3 RAWARD.—STOLEN, ite the sis & to the ui b Vit O REWARD.
