We learn from Washington that Mr. Corwin’s eounection with the Mexican claims, as it has been authoritatively published, creates a great sensa- tion in Washington. It is now stated that John Young, sub-treasurer at this port, negotiated the sale of Mr. Corwin’s interest inthe claims, and that Mr. George Law was the purchaser, for the Bum of one hundred thousand dollars. We think that Mr. Young and Mr. Law ehould come forth publicly and relate all they know of the matter, and allthe connection they have had with it. Look at the matter in any Hight we please, and this opera- tion bas the odor of Galphinism about it very strongly. This affair must be yet thoroughly in- vestigated. It seems that the proposition to have an annual fair at Washington, bas been received with a good @eal of favor in that city, and that subscriptions for the purpose have already been made. A large proportion of the members of the last Senate and House ef Representatives of Massachu- setts have published an address to the people, in which they denounce the coalition which resulted in the election of Mr. Sumner to the United States Senate. We think this is entirely unnecessary. | Politicians of any party would stop at nothing to earry their schemes into effect, either in Massachu- setts or elsewhere. The trial of Scott, (colored man,) forthe reseue of Shadrach, the fugitive slave, is going on in Boston. Itis to be hoped the law will be carried out, with- out fear or favor. We regret to record the decease of the widow of the late Commodore Preble Arrival of the Canada’s Malls, ' The Canada has arrived at Boston, bringing files ef English papers, with dates three days later than | those received by the Baltic. We make selections from the European journals, which contain, how- | ever, little that is novel or interesting. The Cana- | da is the third of the Atlantic steamers which have arrived from England within a week. | Whe Special Senatorial Election—Probable | ‘Triumph of the Canal Policy. | We give in another part of this day’s paper, some additional returns of the election to fill the vacancies occasioned by the resignation of the twelve Senators ‘who vacated their seats in order to defeat the pass- age of the Canal bill. There is very little doubt that the canal policy has triumphed, as we expect- ed it would, and that the nine million bill will be paseed by the Legislature as soon as it is again @onvened. The constitutionality of that measure, however, is not settled by this election. It can | still be brought before the Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeals, and its constitutionality there tested. Indeed, the whigs who urged the passage of that measure, did so with a view of evading the consti- tution on the subject of creating an addition to the State debt. They were afraid to go before the people on its propriety, in the manner pointed out by the constitution, by submitting it to them atthe | polls. They dodged this for the purpose of making capital for themselves; and the demgecrat ‘or at least the barnburners, were not disinclined to #anction the arrangement. The fact iv, that both the whigs and the barnburners wished to divert Public attention for the time being, knowing that | union principles will, in due time, prevail in this | State, and that sooner or later Sewardism, Van Burenisz:, free soilism, and slavery agitation will be all buried in one common grave, beyond the powers of the most skilful political resurrectionist. | Tne Late Diserackrvt Riot at Honoxes, avo | 11s Cavses.—We give, in another part of to-day's Paper, some additional particulars concerning the disgraceful riot which took pla few days since, at Hoboken, and which resulted in the death of one or two persons—the dangerously, and perhaps fatally wounding of several others, and the destrao- tion of property near the seene of the disturbance From all that we can learn, we believe there ix Very little doubt that the disturbance was created— | ‘We are inclined to say purposely created—by a gang of young rowdies, and incipient candidates for the State prison and the gallows, known as | Short Boys, or Rock Boys—juvenile scoundrels, | ‘who make riot and crime their pastime, and who follow no honest or industrious calling for a live lihood. There parties have been the terror of the | Upper part of the city for a number of years past; | and unless they are checked by the authorities, and | ® stop put to their infamous carcer, they will | become #0 numerous, and «0 embol punity, before long, as to defy al all law. Our abolition contemporary, the Trine, ad- mite that theee Short Boys, or Rock Boys, or by what other appellation the scoundrels are known, ere the aggressors. From all that we have heard, | we are inclined to the same opinion. But we take feswe with our abolition contemporary as to the cause to which the existence of this gang in our midst is to be attributed. They are not a conse taint, and | quence or the offepring, as the Trilwne asserts, or | incidental to a purely “ transition social condition.” How strange it is that the cliqne of philosophers who control the columns of the Trifune, attempt to ac- count for everything according to their own meager to go at their work again as soon as they are free. | premise of staying by the shi; | brig: Almira dened by im- | @ So extensive have these organizations become that they influence, to a certain extent, the po- lice and the magistrates, the juries and the courts. What is more strange, too, the men who thus employ these rowdies, in this dis- | reputable business, are members of the church, deacons of the church, highly respectable and reli- gious men, pur excellence, and their employees and proteges are worthy of such masters. They will abuse any body who comes in their way, whether it be a man, or @ woman, or a child; and it was, no doubt, with a view ef keeping themselves in prac- tice that they assaulted the Germans at Hoboken, the other day. And we can say, too, that the Tri- bwne itself has, through party management, winked at and encouraged the very system which we are now speaking of, for it enters as deeply into the arrangements of the whig party as it does into those of the democrats. Our abolition contemporary is, therefore, entirely in the dark in relation to the origin of these gangs of rowdies; and all its philosophy in attempting to account for their existence is thrown away. We can satisfactorily account for them without calling in the aid of either Fourier or Swedenborg, or | even Andrew Jackson Davis, including Mrs. Fox and all her nieces. Crepir ro Wom Crepir 1s Dve—TuHe Sreecues on THE Presipent’s Tour.—We see that a number of newspapers here and elsewhere are copying the reports of the splendid speeches receatly delivered by Mr. Webster, and others, and trans mitted to this city by telegraph, and attributing them to the Journal of Commerce, the Tribune, and some other of our contemporaries. It would be well for the newspaper press here, and throughout the country, to give credit where credit is due. The Herald was the only newspaper establishment in this city that had made competent arrangements to report these speeches, and receive | them by telegraph. We sent two of our special | and best reporters on that tour, and they, and no | one else reported all of these speeches for the press | of this city, but they were afterwards used by other | newspapers without giving any credit to the gentle- | men who underwent the great labor, night and day, which they did of making them, while the editors and attaches of other newspapers were enjoying them. selves in eating and drinking, and making fools of themselves. It may, in fact, be said that one-half of the daily journals of this city, in their most im- portant news arrangements, are edited, conducted, and managed by the arrangements of the Herald, and by the reporters of the Herald. If there was a speck of justice, common justice, we will not say magnanimity, or generosity, for we do not expect either, our cotemporaries would admit what we now say, and to the accuracy of which we challenge contradiction. From Cisxececos—Finine isto ax Aenican Vissnn— Captain Pendleton, of the brig Oberon, arrived yesterday from Cardenas, reports that the ship Margaret, from Portland, while beating into Cienfuegos, was fired into from the fort—one ball passing through her bends, near | the main chains. Reparation had been offered, but de- clined for the present. Late prom Port-av-Paisce.—The schooner Tremont arrived yesterday from Port-au-Prince, with dates to the 12th instant, All remained quiet when the T. sailed, and the pl in the moun it Soulouque had ican minister's proposals was plenty, and eoffce was « to accept of the American produ aud high Srramsnrr Brower Jowatnas.—This vessel returned yesterday evening, at six o'clock, owing to the cracking of her cross-head.

Brown, dem., is re-elected, receiving « ma- jority in both Suffolk and Queens counties, while Kich- mond county (Staten Island) is probably about balanced. The returns received are so imperfect that we cannot state the probable majority in the district. XIGHTH DISTRICT—DUTCHESS AND COLUMBIA, Dutchess gives Halsted, whig, about 600 majority. Ce- lumbia county, 247 majority for Snyder, the late demo- cratic Senator. Halsted, whig, is, therefore, certainly elected, by a probable majority of over 300. NINTH DISTRICT—ORANGE AND SULLIVAN, James C. Curtiss, the late democratic Senator, is re- clected—majority notascertained, The people of Orange and Sullivan counties have never been remarkably well disposed towards the Erie Canal, and now look to the Erie Railroad as their chief reliance, so far as internal improvements can promote their prosperity. SIXTEENTH DISTRICT—HERKIMER, FULTON, HAMILTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES. John Sandford (whig) is elected by an unexpectedly large majority over George H. Fox, the late Senator whose election was considered certain by his friends, Herkimer county, it will be recollected, was the residence of the late Michael Hoffman, the champion of the anti- | canal policy; also of his colleague in the State conyen- tion, Arphaxed Loomis, The following are the reported majoritie: For Sandford (whig). 01 | omit to e1 the speaker could be had, was filled with a dense mass. Mr. Webster spoke from a temporary staging erected in front of Congress Hall, and in the immediate vicinity were Governor Hunt, ex-Governor Marcy, Charles 0'Co- nor, Joseph Hoxie, Francis Granger, John ©. Spen- cer, Ke., Ke, Mr. Spencer presented Mr. W. to the assemblage, and he was greeted with prolonged cheers, MR. WEBSTER’S SPEECH. Mr. Wenster spoke at length of the Union and consti- ir ‘imable value to every State of the mnfederacy, and to the combined whole. Ie did not nce the patriotic duty of aapaionng ana up- holding the compromise measures, especially the Fugi- tive law, as the dictate at once of loyalty to the constitu- and of good fulth to our assoc! of the confede- racy. ‘At the dinner at Congress Hall, there wero seats for 178 guests, most of which were filled. Hon, J.C, Spen- cer presided, assisted by Erastus Corning and Meyor Berry; and the others among the State officials present were the Comptroller, Secretary of State, the State En- ineer, the Canal Commissioner, Mather, Hon. Hiram etehum, Judge Parker, tiov. Marey, Drs, Sprague, Potter, &c. Upon,the removal of the cloth, Mr. Srexcer addressed the conipany in well directed complimeneary allusions to the guest of the evening, to his public services, &e. &e. To this, Mr. Wensrex responded ina speech that drew outloud and repeated cheers, marked throughout by his peculiar force and purity of diction, He concluded his speech with the following sentiment : “The young men of Albany—-the young mon of this eration und of the suc-eeding generations—may they ive forever; but may the constitution of the Union out- live them all.”” Other speeches followed, and the conducted to the New York boat invitation, escorted by the Tivoli mustered in age of the day was the committee of lose Company, who great strength, each man bearing a lighted The streets through which Mr. W. passed to the boat were illuminated by bonfires, aud he took his departure amid the cheers of the crowd who congregated on the Montgome ¥ 1,100 majority.

The democratic majority in the district {was 1,149 last Fall—a great change, caused by the deep interest the people on the canal feel in its completion. NINETEENTI DISTRICT—ONBIDA COUNTY. Benja. N. Huntington (whig) has a majority of about 2,000 over Charles A. Mann, the late democratic Senator. | TWENTIETH DISTRICT—OSWEGO AND MADISON. Moses P. Hatch, canal democrat, supported by the whigs, is elected, by a large majority, over Charles Steb- bins, anti-canal democrat, TWENTY-FIRST DISTRICT—IRFTERSON AND LEWIS. There is but little doubt of the election of Caleb Lyon canal democrat, and the popular member of Assembly from Lewis county. Hke ran against Alanson Skinner, | (democrat) late senator, who was among the twelve that resigned. | It appears probable that the whigs and canal demo- erats have elected five, and possibly one or two more, of | the twelve senators required to fill the vacancies, in | place of democrats who resigned. This will give the whigs all they want to enable them to carry the canal bill through the Legislature in June. As we predicted, the people along the line of the canal have gone for the enlargement, without regard to the opinions of lawyers on either side. THE LATEST DESPATCHES.

If the abolition philosophers would only uninysti- fy thomselves, and look at this matter calmly, so berly, and attentively, they would find that the ox- istence of the Jiook Boys or the Short Boys is owing entirely to the raacality and venality of the leaders of the two political parties, who, for a nam- bor of yenrs past, tave had bands of rowdies, young and old, in their employ, and paid them for attend- 4rg word weetings and elections, and securing the Gevelopements are yet to be made in reiation to this forgery.

The objections to the issuing of the commis- tion are, the late period at which the application is made; relations with the defendant, have been such as to justify the belief that she is prepared to give any evidence that his interests and wirher may dictate; in other words, that she is @ person wholly unworthy of credit. This last objection, which, it seems to me. if would have been better not to have pressed. I mean to overrule deci- tively upon the bearing. The credibility of the witness will be a proper question for tho consideration of the excluding her testimony, to withdraw it frein their de- Ihave no right to say that the witnoss will not be believed. Still less am [ justified in saying upon the evidence before me that ste ought not to be bee lieved. expecially when no opportunity has beon given to the defendant to sustain her credit, by adenial of the fucts which are relied on to impeach her. I must not be understood as saying that the infamous charac- ter of a witness named for examination, may not in bee just ground for refasing a commlsaicn ; only be where the infamy of the witnese is nd his discredit is its inevitable consejuence If we exclude from the afidavit of the plaintiff, bound to do, her eupisions of ey and corrupt influence—which, rtained, ought net to have beom © facts are not euch a, were they admitte Would necessarily operate to diseredit ness. She may have been unchaste before her mar- and yet the nature of her evidence may be such to warrant, but to compel, the belief of « jury. The objection that the application is too late, it Till be necessary toexamine. [tmay not be conclusive, but ite effects may be to give a discretion to the Court that could not otherwise be properly exercised. The ap- plication for the examination of a witness who i: known to beabsent, and whose testimony is known to be mate. rial, ought to be made at tho earliest opportunity after isene has been joined in the cause; and if male, the iseuing of the commission, with a stay of proceeding un- til its return, is made #0 much a matter of course that it ts usually tegarded as a positive right. The iaeues in this case were settled and ordered for trial on the 24th of December last; the absence of the witness, and the ma- terinlity of her testimony, were then known to the defen- dant; and had the raguiar course been followed, the eom- mission now applied for could have been obtained early in January, and then seve would, long ere this, have heen ¢xecuted and returned, without subjecting the plaintiff to the delay of a single hour in the prosecution of her suit. Whereas, if the commission and stay, a¢ now asked for, shall be granted, the necessary effect will be to the trial of the cause, not for the thirt days which the motion specifies, but until October next, ‘The only intervening trial term is in June, It may be es as certain that the cause, for obvious reasons, ‘will not be taken up on any day in the last week of the corrupt inti term; and that within three weeks from this day. » commission can be sent to New OX there and returned here, If must refuse ve, even with the aid of the telegraph, could that aid be invoked, This would be scarcely ctioable. Practically. therefore, a stay of proceedings er thirty days, isa stay for more than four months Upon this etate of fhet, 1 think [shall not be justified in depriving the plaintif of the Spvartentty of « trial, which she now hea, or will have, at the next trial term, ieee the apparent negligence of the defendant, in the lay of his application, has been explained oud sati torily exensed, by which I menn that euch and cacuse place haw in the situation be would his » statl the impossibility of her com- pay with his pon tha was not reselved by him until the twenty-first of the presemt month. The elrcumstances ‘thus detailed, while they account for the conduct of the defendant, are very far from showing that he has acted with the reasonable diligence that the law requires, While they explain, they do not excuse his laches. Iis reliance upon the assur- ances of Mrs. Flower and her hus¥and justified him in not applying for a commission in January last, but does not omission he has cow ied for the last seven ‘argon street, Where ch “his “Freatioe om et, C ‘on, price #0 centa.” Also, his gelf-acting yg" Inv e ¢ confirmed the fact, that aor or the hair, and Hebeaions for the cv the only toilet articles really ween of Rac y the inventor, oats, 3 Waehion Boston; Sands, 100 Fultet ais Broadway; Cary & Co, and Brigham & Day, Pe excuse oo bgt pa to ony rg os gee of (5 ie saan aia ascertaining whether the assurances en given | Gouraud’s Liquid Hair Dye instantly con would befulfiled, In delaying to write until the 20th of | vcety ved oy arey Hrd te one Lae Oenauay Tate.

If he choose to take ® commission at the risk of its being executed and returned before a trial, he is at liberty to do so; kus, if he desires in addition @ stay of procecdings, it can only be granted upon the terms that I deem to be equitable; and I deem {t to be equitable that if the plaintiff shall be enjoined from proceeding to a trial, he shall be sub- Jected to @ similar restraint. It is not nece: nor do ‘T deem it expedient, to state all the reasons that bave led me round to this conclusion. I shall not inquire whether the defendant was so far a resident in Penusyl} ‘yania as to give jurisdiction to the court in Philadelphi in which his suit for a divorce has been instituted. I shall impute to him no blame for the institution of that | suit, nor express any opinion as to the propriety of the injunction by which he has been restrained trom its further prosecution. To justify the discretion that I now exercise, it is sufficient to say that, in my judgment, the plaintiff has been rightly advised to enter no ap- vearance and to interpose no defence, in that suit in Philadelphia; and that, taking into consideration all the circumstances of time, and place, and persons, I am satisfied that it is in this city that charges against her- self and ber husband may be heard and decided, not only with most convenience to the parties, but with the fairest chance of equal justice. The defendant knows that the suit in Philadelphia will not be defended; and it seems to me most unreasonable that he should be permitted to obtain a decree against his wife by default, aud upon ex parte evidence, when, by his negligence, from the consequences of which he seeks to be relieved, he prevents a trial, which, by its full and open investigation of the merits upon both sides, would lead to a determination of the entire controversy. If he is anxious to proceed in a trial in which all the tes- timony on the part of his wife will be excluded, he has thereby no right to complain, if, by his own want of pro- per and reasonable diligence, he loses the testimony of a single witness. It has, indeed, been said that it is only in the pending suit in Ponnsylvania that the defendant | can obtain the relief which he secks. In the suit in this court he is only a defendant, and consequently, in this, the judgment Which he desires, even should he prevail in his defence, cannot be given; but there is néforce in an objection which he may at once elect to remove. It is now in his power to file his complaint against the plaintiff, preferring against her the same charges that are contained in his answer, and seeking against her the same relief that she has pruy cd for against himself. The two suiss will then be treated as one; there will be the same issues in both, to be heard at the same time, and upon the | same evidence, and if he shall succeed in establishing his own innocence and the guilt of his wife, a decree upon the | terms which he desires must necessarily be granted. and will be granted, by a judgment, far more ad) himself than that which he can alone obtain by a judgment, not effectual = in a single State. but valid throughout the Union. ‘or these and other reasons, which I deem it needless to specify, L am satis- fied I ought not to grant to the defendant the disere- | tionary relief for which he asks, unless his assent shall be given to the condition that I propose. The motion for a stay of prov edings is therefore denied, unless the defendent shall file within two days @ stipulation in writing, signed by himself or his counsel, that the motion in the Supreme Court, for a dissolution of the injunction which has restrained him from the prosecution of his suit in Pennsylvania, shall be suspended until this cause shall be reac! for trial at the October term, It is, however, only to this condition that I intend that the order for a stay of proecedings shall be subject. [do not think that the defehdant can be justly required to make any further advances to the plaintiff to enable her to | sustain the expenses of the litigation in whieh they are engaged. The annual sum of $1,500, im quarterly pay- ments, regard being paid to his fortune and her wants, it | seems to me, is an ample and liberal allowance, eufticient. not merely for her usual support, but sure to provide for the extraordinary charges to which she is now subject; but if it shall hereafter appear to be insufiicient, the Court, upon a preper application and proper evidence, would not refuse to direct the payment of such further suins a8 shall be proved to be necessary.

WM. SMITH HALL, Sole Proprietor, 159 Bowe MONEY MARKET, Wepwespay, May 28—6 P. My There was considerable buoyancy in the stock market, to-day, and the indications of a speculative movement of importance are daily getting stronger. Most of tke fan- cies advanced to-day, and the tendency, at the close, was still upward. Among the purchasers there is a good: sprinkling of outsiders, and many large holders are in~ creasing their supply, under the impression that no or, portunity will present itself very soon, to buyjat prices rf low those now current. It is about time there was some activity in the stock market. For sometime past it has been dull and depressed, the cause of which we could not divine, Many of the most promineat fancy stocks have ruled low, money has been cheap and abundaut, and the apathy among outside operators has, therefore, beer. more extraordinary. We see, now, strong indications of @ permanent improvement in prices. The leading rail- road stocks are going, gradually, into the hands of capi- talists; and as they are improving rapidly in value, the probability is that a large portion of the shares whicl> have for some time past been floating about the market: will be withdrawn. The influence of this movement ia alone sufficient to put up prices; but a more important cause is operating favorably upon the market value of railroad securities , and that is, the great increase im the earnings of cach company, compared with corresponding: periods last year, This is, after all, the only real, solid, substantial baris for an improvement in prices of this class of stocks. The Harlem, Long Island, Norwicl, Hudson River, and New Haven, are doing a large and productive trafic, and we believe they are alljudiciously- Managed. Their earnings are properly appropriated, and the prospective condition of each is certainly encourag- ing. Of all the railroad stocks in this market, the mar- gin for an improvement is probably greater in Long Island than any other, Harlem standanext on the list ; d | and then Norwich. Canton Company has the onward: route again. It advanced several per cent, yesterday and is up, today, about two per cent. We have said enough about this stock to deter cautious people from, purchasing it, and those who go into it do so with their eyes open. Morris was a little better, to-day, with small. sales, ‘The variations in quotations to-day, at the first board were as follows :—United States 6"s, 1867, advanced !{ per cent; Edgeworth, ';; Farmers’ Loan, 4; Canton Co., 145 Morris Canal, 1s; Long Island, 3{; Harlem, +s; Norwicl. and Worcester, '{. Erie Income Bonds and Erie Rails- road stock declined ‘{ percent. At the second board, there was a demand for Reading and Harlem at bettor prices, Harlem went up 1 per cent; Reading Railroad, ‘Mj Long Island, 4(; Norwich, 1; and Farmers’ Loan, \. ‘The market closed firm, with an upward tendency. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasarer of this port, to-day, amounted to $101,104 71; payments, $120,051 05—balance, $2,215,774 90.
