(CAN MUSEUM, Amverve Perronmances Ar- phic Summary. ‘The news which we received by telegraph last Bight, and which we publish to-day under the usual head, is unusually short. The little we have is, however, interesting, and will be read by all who wish to keep informed of the progress of the times. It will be perceived that several acts relating to the city ef New York were reported upon favorably Dy the Senate of this State yesterday; and that in the Assembly a long debate occurred on a proposi- tien to amend the rules, which occupied a great Portion of the day. The Seward faction in that Dbody scem to carry matters with a strong hand. ‘They seem determined to go the full length of their tether. There will be a day of reckoning by and by. ‘We learn that Mr. Jefferson Davis recently made @ speech in favor of secession at Grenada, Mississip- pi, but we have not heard how it wasreceived. We gheuld say that Mr. Davis was rather behind hand im this matter, for, as we read the horoscope, seces- wion is becoming as unpopular in the Southern States as abolition fanaticism is in the Northern. We have accounts of a great loss of property at St. Louis, and on the Mississippi river, by fire— the burning of stores and a steamboat, which, we are sorry to say, was attended with the loss of se- Veral lives. ‘We regret to hear of the continued prevalence ef the cholera in the Southwest. We do not wish to alarm the public, but surely our city authorities wught to adopt some sanatary measures in time, so as, if possible, to ward off the disease; and if they @annct do that, to render its visitation as mild in Ais effects as possible. We have received a dispatch by telegraph, to the effect that the cashier of the Havre de (irace bank thas been acquitted of the charge of embezzlement, Sor which he was put on trial. We shall havea Word or two to say on this subject before long. Canada. The Legislature of Canada appears to be in as @isordered a condition as that of the republic of France. The Canadian newspapers teem with abusive articles on men and measares. The real Merits of the questions at issue are covered up by the rubbish of slang and epithets in the speeches of the Legislature, reports of their proceedings, in the editorials, and other effusions which their pa. pers are loaded with. Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, the quondam fugitive Patriot, and the quondam tide waiter of the Custom House of this city, is a member of the Lower House, and his very presence amidst the Canada | Solons is offensive to the provincial ministry. The Hon. Mr. Mackenzie, it will be recollected, is the per- @onage who cabbuged Jesse Hoyt’s letters from the elder Van Buren, about politics, politicians, pau- Pers, and pea nuts; from the younger Van Buren respecting high heeled boots, petticoats, fashions, fun, stocks, and empty pockets; from Wm. L. Marcy, sbout the patch on his breeches, for which the State paid fifty cents, cash; and from B. F. Butler, respecting the Sandy Hill Bank, the way to humbug the young Patroon with wine, and about ebarches, saving grace, and stated preaching of the Boepel. Mackenzie isa canny chiel. The minis terial leaders in the Canadian Parliament seek to ‘worry him, and combine to abuse and ingult him on | every opportunity that offers, but to very little effect egaivst him, and still less credit tothemselves. He | Seems equal to any, and superior to most, of them, | | and those who knew him in the United States, can; therefore, form a safe opinion of the Lycurguses of | @arneighbor. We doubt if any of his assailants will receive the hovors of kaighthood for their assaults upon him. Like the bear and the snake, our Canada neigh- bers are torpid during the winter months—their bodies and intellects are in a state of congelation; but, as summer approaches, and they become a Bittle thawed, they exhibit great friskiness. They geom, this spring, to evince rather an unaccountable @egree of spite towards Brother Jonathan. They grow! and hiss terribly upon every allusion to the United States, and especially upon any comparison Deing made as to the greater prosperity «f New York. From some of the speeches and editorials, @ne would imagine they contemplated an invasion mand conquest of this State. The chief cause ap- | pears to be the neglect by Congress to pass what is @alled the “Canada Reciprocity bill.” Within ‘the last three or four years, divers Canada func- tionaries have condescended to come all the way | here, and togo to Washington, to enlighten Con- Grees as to the interests of the United States on the | @ubject. As to those who had private axes to | grind in the United States, and who got theexpenses | of their journey paid, this was all well enough; but | Unele Sam generally knows his own interests | The Canada Parliament, or rather some of ite ‘Mort fery and rampant members, threaten, unless | Congress docs something speedily, that the Wel- | Iend Canal shall be closed against all Yankee ves | gels and produce! And other retaliatory and oo- @reive measures are hinted at. We wonder if | Lord Elgia and his Parliament have any idea d | @ttempting to draw off the waters of Lakes On- tario, Erie, Huron, Michigan, @hrough Canada, into the St thereby dry up our canal. How foolish we should @ok if they should succeed in that! We hope they Will be content with closing the Welland Canal e@gainet us. That mensure we can bear. It is trae, wntil the Erie Canal is widened, the threatened Brohibition to rtop the Welland outlet, to our produce, may be productive of some inconvenience; Bor one effect may be that our canals and railroads from the Lakes inay have more freights than they an well attend to, and the profits of private com. | panies be 60 greatly enhanced, and their stook rise to much high prices, that the stockholders will and Superior, Lawrence, and | | } Become greatly injured; and so, also, the wharves and storehouses of this city may be glatted with Produce for the European markets, sompelled to @ome thie way for shipment. All not sent down the St. Lawrence or the Mississippi will come to the Atlantic cities of the United States. We are Ainelined to the opinion that Canada will open the | Welland Canal more freely to as, @ers Mands the ebject fully. Mexed to the United States.

Canada cannot be | ing population of Ireland and | at first, they favored it. matter must mot be hurried. The work must be begun amongst themselves. The mother country must be convinced that the colonies are of no ad- vantage to her. Canada can do this, if she gees to work properly—that is, prudently, sagaciously, and firmly. — are some obstacles in the way of annexa- tion, even if Canada was independent now. There are about 16,500 runaway niggers in Canada—fugi- tive slaves belonging to citizens of Maryland, Ken- tucky, Virginia, and other Southern States. It must be distinctly understood that these fugitive slaves will all be restored to their masters, before annexation will be agreed to by the United States. There can be no exemption. This will be asine qua won. Canada patriots should discuss this point at an early period, and have the public mind settled rightly. The Canada legislature might devote a little time to its discussion profitably, looking to the future destiny of their country. It is an impor- tant and an interesting topic. Human rights, na- tional law, and the moral duties of nations, all are involved in it. And there are also in Canada a horde of a different kind of fugitives—bogus money artists, counterfeiters, runaway bank defaulters, swindlers, and other absconding rogues—who, upon annexation, must be yielded up, to answer for their misdeeds in the States. Lord Elgin, we notice, states that the Canadas owe a public debt of about nineteen millions of dol- 14rs, all of which must be honestly paid, or honestly repudiated, before annexation. This is sine qua non No.2. Some of the States of this confederacy have enough unpaid public debt of their own to an- swer for, and the Union cannot be allowed to as- sume any for Canada. She must get rid of her debt before she enters into this family. There are also certain provincial government guaranties to the stockholders of certain railroad companies, of an annual dividend of five per cent on their stock, allowed to enter this confederacy with all these incumbrances fastened upon her. Her annexa, tion patriots must, therefore, resign themselves to their destiny; and though it may be that the provinces are, for twenty years yet to elapse, to re- main dependent, ill caved for, and neglected ap. penages of Great Britain—a mere convenience to her rulers in furnishing places whither to banish placemen and needy politicians, and only retained for that use—yet they must bear the cross with Christian resignation. The official accounts of the revenues and of the expenditures of the provincial government, as given in the Canada papers, exhibit ruinous exac- tion from the people on the one hand, and great prodigality, if not profligacy, of expenditure on the other, all of which must be reformed before annex- ation. The net revenue collected in 1850, by different modes of taxation, was $2,816,936 47, and the ex- penditures $2,128,25447. This is gross extrava- gance, and they must learn some lessons in economy before they canbe attached to this republican go- vernment. . The United States cannot agree to the “reci- procity trade” measure, as it is called, quite yet. We must have a guid pro quo from John Ball for this alleged reciprocity, in some other arrangement. He may perhaps buy the advantages of the alleged reciprocity, by a cession of Vancouver’s Island, and his Pacific possessions between Oregon and the Rouesian line, or the Bahamas and Jamaica. Canada has very little to say on this business; and being a mere colony or province, it becomes her to say but very little. Her complaints should be whispered in the@ulcet tones of respect and loyal humility, to EarlGrey and Lord Palmerston. There is no use in her talking to Brother Jonathan—she is a minor. She may persuade Lord Elgin and Sir George Simpson to put in a kind word or so for her, in aid of the arrangment suggest- ed; especially as the latter might discover a consi- deration to himself therein, connected with the ex- tinguishment, upon terms, of the Hudson's Bay Company, now an unprofitable concern. An ar- rangement like that hinted might perhaps secure to Great Britain the retention of New Brunswick, Nova Seetia, and the Canadas, for some time; and he vould then bestow more attention to those colo- nies, and content her subjects there by an ameliora- tion of their condition, politically, commercially and ocially. The British public and rulers are lamenta- bly in the dark as to the true coloyial poticy of that government. They have too many colonies to govern any of them well. From some of the specimens of rhetorical gasco- nade we witness in the Canadian Parliament by Sir Alian MeNab, and others of his grade, we should sed to hear that they proposed thatthe Cunard line of steamers shall end their voyages a Halifax, and not come to Boston and New York; or that the telegraphic news shall not be despatched to us from Halifax; or that the claim once made by John Bull to all the fish and fisheries on the north- eastern coast, and in the northeastern seas, of this continent, should be revived, or some kindred folly recommended by the Canadian “ hostiles.” Already the Hudson's Bay Company, as we learn, claim, un- der the treaty of 1846, about one-third of Oregon. We predict, however, such claim will soon be dropped. If not, it will be scouted by the courts that decide upon it. To make a bargain between two such great na- tions as Great Britain and the United States, “res. "and becoming their dignity, the Island s—the Bermudas, New Bruns, | wick, Nova Sectia, the Canadas, and New Albion | on the Pacific, and Vanco ive Island, compris- ing all that Great Britain claims in North Ameri- Ca, should be lumped together, and the United States might agree to take them all off her hands, and pay a reasonable amount for them, either in Cali- fornia gold to in the discharge of their national | debt; or in corn, rice, wheat, and other breadstuffe: | or beef or pork, or potatoes, annually, for the starv- land, andin Wales and England; or in cotton to keep their manufac- turers in work. If any thing of this kind should take place before the 16,500 runaway niggers in Canada are frozen to death, the honor of John Bull, | andhis character for philanthropy and humanity: | may be saved by a valuation of them at seven or | | eight millions of dollars, and by agreeing to pay for them, and then manumitting them, and dedast- ing the price from the amount Brother Jonathan may agree to give, as above suggested. As this price would be distributed amongst the Southern owners ofthe fugitives, it might render annexation palata- ble in that section We repent, the “reciprocity” project will not be agreed to by Congress. Northern simpletons were persuaded, when it was first proposed, to advocate it; and with equal simplicity the South opposed it Since then, the parties in Congress have changed on this eubject, and while the South favors it, the North opposes it. Except in the furtherance of the free trade principle, the arrangement could be of little advantage to this country. The North once sup pored it would advance annexation, and, therefore, The effect would be the very reverse; and as soon as this was discovered by the South, they became kindly disposed towards it The commercial advantages would all be on the vide of Canada; and the reciprocity and the use of the Welland Canal and river St. Lawrenmse inoluded, if even free of all tolls and duties, are worthless to us. Our canals and railroads were made to bring our freights to our shipping ports, and if not sufficient, must, as they readily ean be, made eufficient. When Canada becomes part and parcel of us, it will be time enough to consider her intereste and her convenience. Until then, we should take eare of our own, and the proviness and the mother country may do likewise as to theirs. That ox- panded national philanthropy which looks to the advancement ef other and rival nations, is not an Anglo-Saxon virtue; or if it is, it hae not descended to Bt. Jonsthan. He believes in that injunction of holy writ, that commends him to take care of his own bouechold. Americans at Tux. Worty's Farn.- We have | received some very remarkable and curious oorres- from London, from a new quarter, de scribing with great particularity, wit and eloquence, fome of the quarrels among the American exhi- | bitors, which undoubtedly have led the English | people and the English press to speak so lightly of their cousins and their curiosities from this side — of the water. It may be recollected that before | the opening of the fair, the American ‘exhibiters became divided into two parties, or cliques, or fac- tions, in reference to the authenticity or authority | ¢f the office of commissioner. A Mr. Riddle, of Bos- | ton, claimed authority to act in that capacity, and Mr. Stansbury, of Washington, put in a similar claim, and stood on the same ground as his Boston rival did. This double claim of authority, which | originated with some sort of a society in Washing. ton, calling itself the National Institate, which is composed of scientific men, interspersed here and | there with an old woman in breeches, was the cause of the curious scenes and the various difficulties, which attended the American part of the exhibition. The correspondence which we have now in our | possession on this subject, is of some length, is well — peppered, very sarcastic, and is full of documents. It professes to clear up the difficulties which have agitated the little American community at the World’s Fair, and to show that both Riddle and Stansbury are, in some respects, Siamese twins, in the commission which proceeded from the anamo- lous scientifibody in Washington. Mr. Stansbury, undoubtedly, had authority from Washington to assume and exercise powers ‘‘outside” the Exhibi- tion Palace, and full authority was conferred on Mr. Riddle to dispose of matters ‘‘inside” of the Crystal Palace. It seems, however, that Mr. Riddle was not satisfied with the extent of his authority, but went farther, and took the whole direction inside and outside, and accordingly issued a bulletin on the subject, which, like his name, is a perfect riddle of what his intentions have been, are, or what he jntends they will be. Some have gone so far as tosay that Mr. Riddle obtained his high position | in the matter, in consequence of his having given some persons an intimation that a splendid car- riage, which was on exhibition at the fair, was to be presented to a member of the cabinet after _ doing its duty of knocking up all similar affairs there. | We shall publish this curious correspondence in our | next double sheet. It throws a flood of light on the controversies between the Americans in London, which afforded so much amusement to the London | Times and to Punch, and the sensible Americans | who went to the World’s Fair. Tue Gamenine Law 1n THE Leoisiature.—We understand from Albany that one of the most posi tive pieces of legislation, during the present brief session, will be the passage of avery stringent law, prohibiting and cutting up everything that looks like gambling in the city of New York. The flare up which took place during the last session, between Mike Walsh and the Senate, in which this subject was the topic of discussion, will not soon be forgotten. In the developement which was made on that occasion, the conduct of certain members of the Legislature was presented in a | light somewhat equivocal ; but it was bolstered up by their colleagues of the Senate, and by a general | effervescence of a spirit in both houses in favor of the passage of a very stringent law against gam- blers and gambling in this metropolis. We have | every reason to believe that such a law will pass, | for the purpose of indorsing the moral character of | the last legislature, and preserving untainted the | reputation of the present highly virtuous body. | Indeed, so certainly is this expected, that a number | of fashionable gambling houses of this city have ; already shut up, and some of the proprietors have | made preparations to expatriate themselves to the | Southern and Western States; while others are so | intimidated, that they will not stop short of Cali- | fornia or the isles of the Pacific. During the last | week or 80, there was a maititudinous settlement of | differences and deposits among the faro banks | throughout the city. Many of the proprietors of | these houses, who leased them for gambling pur- poses, have become alarmed at the new law, and | have accordingly determined to abandon the busi- | ness. | From all appearances, therefore, we expect a | great moral reform to take place on the subject of | gambling, and during the next year or two, under | the operation of the new law, which may be ex- pected to pass both houses during next week or the | week after at farthe: The lobby members, who have abandoned the interests of the faro banks of this city, intend, no doubt, to remunerate them- | selves by the jobs and contracts that are to be given out under the nine million loan, for widening | the canal, which will furnish a luxurious opporta: | nity for obtaining contracts of all sorts and sizes, | and every degree of profit and plundering. If it wore at all probable that this bill would not be | passed during the present session, we think it very likely that the oumerous faro banks and bankers of | this metropolis, numbering probably a hundred financiers and thirty or forty first rate banks, would have been permitted to remain in full feather, | transacting as much business, and giving as many splendid suppers, as in times of yore. But when the legislature, and their friends out of doors—the lobby members—have determined to create for themselves a great moral reputation throughout the country, by passing a stringent law against gambling, they must have some place, some placer, | in which they can feather their nests as usual. | The new mine of gold, equal to any to be found in California, will be found in the contracts growing | out of the ten million canal loan. This will fur- | | nish chances enough, and more than ever was made | out of the faro banks, by any system of black mail ever adopted by them on individual members, or institutions, or by operating on the banks them- selves and taking their chances of profit. In view, therefore, of the entire suppression of gambling in all its varieties, fashionable and un- | fashionable, which will soon take place in this city, California may expect a vast accession to her po- pulation, and the fashionable soirée: up town, and the Italian Opera even, must lose a great many of their frequenters, and their best dressed patrons, by thie singular flare-up, whieh wae created by the Mike Walsh explosion, during the last session of the legislature Tre Pennsytvanta Ware State Convention — We understand that a number of politicians—some of whom are friends of Mr. Webster, and some of Gen. Seott—from this city, intend to visit Lancas ter, in Pennsylvania, during the sitting of the con- vention, which will assemble there on the 24th inet. According to every appearance, there will be & very warm contert between the friends of Web- | eter and Scott respectively, in that convention ‘The nomination to be made by that body will be the firet whig nomination for the presidency in the approaching struggle. The candidate who may be selected will have the vantage ground over all his competitors, and will go intoother States with more power and influence than those opposed to him. Gen. Seott is considered very popular among the people of Penneylvania; but if a prodigious effort should be made in New York aod Boston for the nomination of Mr. Webster, we would not be eur- | prised toses the matter take another shape, the nomination of Gen. Seott prevented, or, at least, the question left open, which is, perhape, all that | Mr. Webeter’s friends may require. Crowds of politicians will be at Lancaster during the sitting of the convention Gas.—The gas companies of this city have on- tered into a controversy with the newspapers of Philadelphia, on the superiority of the gas manu- factured and coneumed here. We fear there is too | much truth in what the Philadelphia journals say on the comparative merits and prices of the gas made in the two cities. ' | of bringing out the nomination of General Wool ‘Tue Wenp anv Wit Lis Case rn 4 New Suare— Wiis Preraring ror a Mysreniovs Denovs- ment.— We publish, in another part of to-day’s pa- Per, @ very curious bulletin from the pen of Willis, which may be called “a circwar to young ladies,” with a equinting towards both the case of Mrs. Coddington aud that of Mrs. Forrest, besides, no doubt, many other cases unknown at present to the public. It is very amusing to witness the gravity and the sentiment with which Willis touches on male education and female rearing, if he has passed through euch a life of practical virtue and prudence as he is charged with by his friend and fellow sufferer, Mr. Webb. We desire our readers particularly te notice, in this young ladies’ circular, sent to the world by Willis, those points which ap- pear to be quotations from some mysterious docu- ments which have not as yet been given to the public. Are these quotations a violation of the judge’s injunction on Mrs. Coddington’s letters, or are they not? They look very squally, and we re- quest Judge Sandford to see whether Willis ought not to be attached at once. Seriously, however, we suspect that this circular to young ladies is merely a preparation for some- thing that is to come out during the present or next week, in the Coddington case. It would be curious if the mysterious letters, which were given so gravely by Willis to Webb, were, after all, not the real ones, but some taken from one of the wrong pigeon holes, numbering from one to twelve, con- taining documents ofa similar character. We rather think that Willis has got poor Webb on the hip, and that Webb has been sold for much more than he is worth. Attached to the circular will be found a very neat little commentary, written with great propriety, and signed Julia Bennett. We do not know whether the writer is the actress of thatname or not; but if she is, she certainly writes as smartly as she plays at Brougham’s Lyceum. Saran ReBvkine Sin.—Mr. Webb, in one of his issues, has the following :— The conductors of certain journals in our midst have adopted, as their first professional rule of action, the li- bellous assumption that nothing suits the American taste like scandal. are incessantly practising @ more than Soyer-like skill in the manufacture of piquant gossip or rank flander; and they have learned todo it with the most perfect indifference to private rights and feelings, and with an absolute contempt for every obli- gation of truth. The most scandalous piece of manufa:ture, in the line of libel, was certainly the story which Mr. Webb told of Willis and the Coddingtons. The devil turned moralist is beat at last. Asa Wurrngy 1N Canapa.—We notice Mr. Whitney is seeking to get the mother coun- | try to aid him in making a Canada and Paci- | fic railroad, and we care not if he succeeds, as, in such case, Congress will escape being bored any more about his humbug. He never will get the aid of the United States, in any way, to his scheme, by a donation of lands or otherwise. The road, if made, will be made by piecemeal, and be connected from time to time, as the settlements progress westward from the Atlantic, and eastward from the Pacific coast. A road, to extend upwards of two thousand miles, through a desert, through rugged and snow covered mountains, and @ country peopled by war- like savages, is a work of a quarter of a century. Mr. Whitney’s scheme is the most chimerical of all that have been proposed. Great Britain has too much sense to embark in it. If she is disposed, we shall profit by her folly. Experientia docet. Tue New Post Orrick Re@utations.—Great complaints are being made already against the Post Office regulations, prepared by the Post Office De- partment, for the purpose of carrying the new law intoeffect. The law itself, in a variety of instances, particularly in reference to newspapers, was manu- factured by the Post Office Department, and, as a piece of legislation, conceived in more ignorance than any law that ever came from that quarter. The regulations for carrying this law into effect are generally denounced in the newspapers as a piece of absurdity and inefficiency. On Dir.—The Tammany Society is called together to-morrow evening in secret session, for the purpose for the Presidency. Go ahead. ‘The Italian Opera at Castle Garden. To morrow night, Maretzek, with the most eomplete opera company ever engaged in this country, will take possession of the Castle—the admission to which has been fixed at fifty cents, while season tickets, for fifty per- formances, will be seld at fifteen dollars each. The lovers of the opera, therefore, will have no excuse for not in- dulging in the art to its fullest extent; for whatever may be said of the opera houses of Europe, there is not one of them which, throughout the season, can display such a combination of talent as we have on this side of the water.
