General Shields, of [llivois, yesterday offered an @poropriate resolution, in the United States Senate, > sopply the place of those adopted by the citizens | ef Detroit, Mich., and presented by General Cass on Wednesday. In bringing forward and advocat- | tng the cause of these unfortunate men, General ©. hhas rather got ihe advantage of his opponents for the Presidency. He has made the first move—the first specch—the first practical effor: in their be- half, in the halls of our national legislature. This ‘was a grand stroke of policy, and will doubtless tell with wonderful effect, among not enly the Irish, Dut all classes in this country. To showhow popu- Jar this movement is calculated to become, it is but | mecessary to refer to the fact of its having been so | Bpontancously approved by Senators Butler, of S.C, a strong secessionist; Hale, of N.H , a rank free soiler; and Shields, of lll.,@ firm democrat, Ut is a powerful move. | Several important bills were introduced in the Senate yesterday—amorg them one by Mr. Brad- bary, relative to the judiciary, which was referred. Mr. McRae, the new Senator from Mississippi, im place of Mr. Foote, yesterday made hia maiden | speech, on the regolution which the ex-Senator left | asa memento of his restless spirit. Mr. McR. opposed the resolution in ¢oto—the compromise had | beoome the law of the land, and was recognized as | gach, and it was highly improper to renow the ex- | @itement, by passing this impolitic and unneces- Bary meacure. The speech will repay a carcfu; perusal. ‘The House of Representativs, yesterday, passed, | by 147 to 22, the bill appropriating $6,000 for re- Meving and bringing home the romnant of the | Lopez expedition. Notwithstanding the late day | im which this relief comes, it {s still to be hoped that it may do much good in relieving the wants of those misguided men, and restoring thom to their friends. | Mr. Olds yesterday reported a bill in tho House, | $e 80 amend the postage law that a!l printed and | manuscript matter, not weighiog over two and a | half cunces, shall be conveyed in the mails fora | distance of two thousand miles or less, for one eent—over two thousand miles, two cents. News- papers not weighing more than ene ounce, seut | to subscribers from the cffice of publication, are to be charged one half of the above rates. Some ehange in the present postal law is desired bya large majority of the people, and if none better ean be bad, they will be extremely glad to accept of the above proposition. Mr. Mclanahan, on reporting a bill relative to curtailing tho exponses ] of the judiciary, stated that while the population | of this country had increased at the rate of 333 per | ent, the expenses of the judiciary bad run up at the enormous rate of 1,037 per cent. Uponthis explanaticg, the bill was referred. Every bedy will be pleased to learn that the Hon Henry Clay has se fur recovered as to be able to yido out. We yet hope to read his promised spoech on the subject of non-interf Official confirmation has been r ved at Wash- ington of the reported discovery of an exto bed of silver ore in New another Bpecimen of the rich fruit which has boea prodused by the war with Mexico—the rerult of which has, in reality, materially bene d that unfortunate oouniry, by giving her the means of keeping up fhe semblance of a republic through the instal- merts drawn from the United States treasury. The effect of that war has likewise enriched our own people, beyond measure—it has not only caused gold to “flow up the Mississippi,” but has perfectly flooded the new and the old worlds with tae precious dust, until “mins drops” have become more plen- tifal than silver sixpenses. ‘iho last discovery @ould not have been made at a more opportune moment, for three reasons, viz :—1 —Silver, for | emali change, bas recently been in such great de- mand that, on several occasions, it has oommanded aheavy premium—sometiines as high as from four to ten per cent. 2—The Indians in New Mexico are very troublesome, and murder the whites whenever an opportunity occure; these un- merciful beings will now be reetrained, and finally made subservient to the miners, who will flock thither in great numbers. “—Many of those who will go to the carth, for ite mineral treasures, will eventua!ly settle down, and turn their atton tion to the cultivation of the eoil—and thur the now degert plaine will be turned into the comfort- | able homes «! innumerable and happy families Kossuth, in bis address to the ladies of Pittsburg yosterd sy, very aptly remarked that, had the money which has been wasted in useless domonstrations and oxtravagant entertainments of exiled Hunga- rians, been judiciously expended in the frugal main- tenance of those poor exiles who are now actually euTering in this country and Europe, it would havo supported them a year. This is true, every word of it. For example, turn back to the Magnificent banquets, parades, &), which cost #6 meny thousanus of dollars a fow weoks sinoe in this city, and thon direct your attention to the poor exiles at the Irving Llouse, who have been @bandoned by the Corporation, tbe abolitionists, end others who hurg around Koseuth when he was present, but who were left to starve or vo to the alms house the moment his ok was turned.

The same committee also had under consideration a bill providing that no less it is done by the consent of the proper officers of the county where the land is located. Name- roug petitions were presented for the suppression of tippling houses. Some of the members of the Assembly appear determined to sew the money of the people broad cast among their favorite partisans, while others, | more honest in their views, manifest a spirit of | justice towards their constituents by being rather more economical in the expenditure of the public funds. The Assembly refused, by a vote of 83 to 29, to concur in the propssition of the Senate, to ») and Moss, (whig,) made strong speeches in behalf of the Senate’s be convinced of its justice. The Assembly, also, assed a resolution inquiring ef the Comptroiler while he continued to pay that of the Staie offivers. Verily, these legislators seem to think that thay have a perfect right to put their bands in the Tho Massachusetts abolitionists, in convention, at Boston, yesterday, resoived that It A was a traitor to humanity, and false to hig fama, for havirg slighted theie priaciples. Some of tho speakers aleo averied that leading newspaper edi- tors possess more influence than the President of the United States. We agree with thom thera; but, at the same time, wonder how they ever hip pened to como so near the truth The Georgia Legislature bas finally adjourned, after indefinitely postponing a resolution nomina- Futler, for Vice President. The one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the birthday of Thomas Paino, the celebrated politisal and deistiral writer, was commeworated last even ing, by the admirers of his life and principles, with a grand ball and supper, at tho City Assearhly ‘The attendance was very con- siderable, there being nearly three hundred persous present. Amongst the speeches delivered at the supper table was one by Mrs. Rose (a Polish lady); it was eloquent, political, interesting, and sarcastio; it was a specimen of oratory which would put many of our male spouters to the blush. Sho gave a re- view of European politics, and ridiculed the sys tem ef non intervention; and, after a severe pbil- Uppic en the government at Washington, for their course towards Kossuth, Mrs. Rose concluded by saying that, when the liberty of Europe shall be attained, and Austria and Russia dead, General Watson Webb and John (Bishop) Hughes shali be promoted to the position of chief mourners. Wo have a full report of the proceedings, but the late- nese of the hour at which they terminated renders it impossible to give them this morning. The eteamers Prometheus and Cherokee are about due, with two weeks’ later intelligence from California. The Hermann is alco due with four days’ later from Europe. Tue Temperance Movement in turs Crry, AND 17S Pxopaute Errect on Potirrcs.—The organization of the City Temperance Alliance, ia this city, bids fairto exerciss an important infla- ence in a political point of view, and perhaps will Kossutn anp Kinxgt AT THE Wast.—The Hun- garian “Peter the Hermit” is now in Pittsburg, preaching with great fervor, eloquence, and success the crusade of 1852, sgainst Austrian and Russian despotism; and Kinkel, the great moral and politi- cal German reformer, bas, in his tour on a like self- appointed embassy through the States, arrived at New Orleans. The two great representatives of “Young Eu- rope” may, therefore, soon meet each other in one of our Southwestern citieg. Their mission hither. to has been immensely successful, and they havo reaped a pretty considerable harvest of dollars, with which they succeeded in persuading the American public the strongholds of despotism in Southern Europe would be stormed, the tyrannical oppress- ors hurled from their thrones, aud great and glo- | rious republics, similar to oar own, established. Notwithstanding the palpable absurdity of these | representations, utterly aa chimerical as if it wae to create a political revolution in the dominions of the meon, coutributions have flowed, and contiaug to flow, into the revolutionary treasury ia liberal mevsure, wheedled out of the fenatical and ereda- lous, by representations which the slightest exorcise of common senee wouldshow to be mere moonshine. At last, however, the two Europoaa knights-or- rant approximate in geographical position; but strange as it may appear to somo, they are, in amicable relations, far apart. The two aposiles hold to the text, “ho that is not with me is against me,” and so they stand in hostility to each other; aud through their organs, both in the German aud English languago, assail each other, apd question tho right and authority of each other’s acts. Lach is jealous of the influence and success of hia brother laborer, and dreads, of course, consequent injury to his own manorial privileges, which consict in the right of levying contributions upon the begalled public. Thus matters now stand between these great and shining lights of tho world’s regeneration, and it is to be dreaded that, if the rupture continues, the eyes of tho people may be opened, tho Hungarian bonds fall toa dis- count, the labors of the German cease to bring in funds to defray his travelling expenses, and tho air-blown bubble of European revolution burst. | To prevent this dreadful consummation, the re- | formers sbould fraternizo, give each other a help- ing hand, and go share in the spoils. Probably they will seo and appreciate the wisdom of this | suggestion, and ect accordingly. Nous verrons. | | Forngy’s Lerrer—A Suprressrp Passace— Tue Sroot-Picron Sysrem in Povitics —It is now said that the copy of Forney’s renowned | stool pigeon letter, that was read in coart on tho | trial of the Forrest cage, and published in the news- papers, did not contain all the original; there was one very curious passage about politics and the | Presidential election, which has not yet seon the light ; and it is to be hoped that the editor of the | Boston Times will give us tho whole epistle, instead | of the extracts already published. We would then | have an opportunity of cecing its beauty inall its pro- portions, and in its different bearings, whether upon divorces or politics. For all that we can toll, the political passage may contain directions for somo | stool-pigeon operation in reference to some one of | the candidates for the Presidenc;— perhaps to make him drunk, in order to pump out all his se- crets, and thus give ‘* Ponnsylvania’s favorite son” | the advantage over his competitors in the race; | have a controlling influence on the future operations of partics in this city and State. Those temperance men who are well informed on the subject, esti- mate the number of their voters in this city, at the last election, at over six thousand, which isa num- ber quite euflicient te hold the balance of power ia the city, and frequently in the State. It is claimed thut the temperanze organization, Imperfect as it was at that time, elected three of the four Sona- tors, and six or coven of tho members of Axsem- bly, from this city. The temperance men also elested Mr. Tillou, Reorder, over Mr. Tallmadge, and Mr. Bradford, Surrogate, over Mr. Fowier. Judge Rosevelt, of the Supreme Court, was also on their ticket, and probably owed his election to the temperance influence. It is to be observed that at the last election, candidates were placed on fy the whims and caprices, or private views, of in- dividuals connected with the temperance move ment, the organisation being mado use of for other objects than the ostensible one presented to the voters. Itis probable that nominations will be made up in fature with more scrutiny than was practicable on a hasty organization like that of last fall The City Temperance Alliance, as organ'zed during the present month, consists of one hundred wards, ard the management of the Alliance is con- fided to an Executive Committee of twenty memn- bers—one from each ward. Many men of talonts | and influence are comprised in this new organiza | tion, ameng whom may be found experienced poli- | ticians from both of the old parties, who come to- | ther in harmony, to carry out the obj the Alliance, embracing moral, political, and | municipal reform generally. Their most pro minent object, however, as avowed, is of | course tho taking of such measures ‘aga will | lead to the shutting up of the @ thousand uor shops of the city. A terrible conflict may bo expected at our elections in future, if thistempe- rance element ds brought fully into the field; for is | ig not to be expected that the liqnor d ev their side, are well organized—will submit to the breaking up of their business, and the joss of | their influence, without a cevere etruggle. ‘The plan of cperations of the temperan with regard to elections, we understand, is to avoid making ecparate nominations, but to select oan- didatcs most favorable to their views, from the tickets nominated by the great political parties, by | which course they expect to compel temperance | nominations by one or both of those parties. The | liquor dealers will doubtless pursue a similar | course, but, perhaps, more indirectly, to promote | their own views; andthus, if the temperance agi- tation should be managed with skill by the now | leaders who have entered into it, we may expect it, | in future, to exercise a controlling infiuenco in our city clections, until the question ef legislation on re—who, | | | | | tome mere absorbing question. in connection with this matter, we annex the fol- lowing table, (although before published.) roported by the captains to the Chief of Police, showing the namber of places where spirituous liquors are sold iu the several patrol districts; tho naraber of places iconged ; alao, tho places kept open on Sundaya:— 1 Patrot Not Open Districts Licensed, — Licensed, Sunday. ‘Total.

Let us havo light. This stool-pigoon system is a very curious inven- tion. It was firat brought to notice by the trials of tho Drurys, father and son; and One-eyed Taomp- son, an extraordinary genius, was its originator, who also carried it through, and almost sent inno- cent men to prison. He laid his traps most artful- ly; and ina different eommunity, and with a loss vigilant and less independent press, ho would in all | human probability have succeeded in his dosigns. But after cundry and desperate attempts, failing in his mission, ‘‘One-Eye” adroitly applied his own | eystem to himself, and, swallowing poison in jail, in | order to give justice the slip in this world, went to the other world, to carry on his vocation there. | This is the end of the stool pigeon system in | burglary: what it may be in divorces and politics, | we have yet to sco. It is the first time in the his | tory of the House of Representatives that they have get a genius—a One-oyed Thompron— Clerk ; and thus far they seem to like the artiole.

Tho advantages, however, are all in favor ef Niblo’s and fifty cents, and the disadvantages seem to olus- ter in melancholy and gloom around the merito- rious but struggling Maretzek, although he is supported by the aristecracy, white kids, Patnam’s “Book of Beauty,” and dollar and a half tickets. Night after night, since the troupe at Niblo’s re- duced their terms to fifty cents, the house has been crowded wiih weil dressed, good looking, generous hearted, enjoyable people. The artists, of course, feel excited with popular approbation, and sing and ags with renewed vigor and elasticity. At the Astor Place the scene is just the reverse—empty, dreary, cold, frigid, in full dress, unspotted white kids, splendid grandmothers and jowelled daugh- ters, exquisite moustaches and fino vocalization; but few dollarg in the treasury. ‘The contest cannot last long. We doubt whether it willlast beyond the present week. Marotzek himeeli has courage, indomitable energy, talent of the highest order—as the last two or taree years have fully attested; but be is without supporters who porsess 2 soul—without patrons ef any geno- rosity or taste—without subscribers who havo a heart bigger than that of a codfish. Mareteek’s destiny has been gloriously sorrowful—brilliantly lamentable. With the most cultivated talents in his possession, the highes: capacity for business, gentlemauly and congenial in ail his ways and tastes, he bas stiuggledfor several years to estab- lish an Opera House, under the patrounge of the New York salt pork-codfish aristocracy ; but he bas been without aid, or support, or soul, or libe- rality, or generosity, from those who pretend to take the lead in society and to give tone to social laws and manners. His predecessors in the Astor Opera House—-firet, Sanquirico, and, eecond, Fry— were sacrificed by the same class of society, and driven to ruin and private life by the coldness and ca lousness of their support. Tho third and last sacrifice of this miserable fashionablo set of pre- tenders, who are without soul and genius, is now before us, in the form of Maretzek, in the midst of his glory, as Napoleon in the field, at Waterloo. The rival house, at Niblo’s, will soon have the city inthe palm of its hand. Night after night, its audiences are crowding; and in another week it will reign with undisputed sway in the domain of cpera, and fashion, and enjoyment. 3 In the meantime, is it not smelanekely to look on the fate of poor Maretzek! We have aided, and assisted, ard hoped for his suocvss; but the fishy fashionables of New York have ruined him by their humbug. Let us, therefore, one and all, seo if | some substantial com, liment, in the shape of a benefit, should not be offered to him at the close of his campaign, endirg so disastrously to his in- terests, after so long @ struggle as he has made. Let us send the gallant Napoleon of Opera to St. Helena with somethi:g, at least, in bis pooket, to while away his solitude. The Execution, To-day, of Otto Grunzig, for the Murder of his Wife. STRANGE DEVELOPEMENTS—THE MISTRESS OF THE CONDEMNED— CONFESSING THE MURDER. Up toa late hour last evening, the fate of O:to Grunzig, sentenced to be executed this day, fcr the murder of his wife by poison, appeared inevitable; the last flickering | hope hsd almest vanished, and naught was left for this unfortunate man but to meet the terrible and fatal con- sequences of the law. The Rev. Mr. Verren arrived from Albany on Wednesday night, having visited Gov. Hunt in behalf of the prisoner, with a view of obtaining afur- therrespite. The Rev. gentleman states that he was re- ocived by the Governor with marked attention, to whom meny factsand affidavits were submitted, both by himself and the German delegation from this city, on the part of Grunzig. The Governor, after examining the documents, intimated that uo hope could be entertained for any fur- (her interference on his part, During the day (yestesday), Sheriff Carnley telegraphed communication to the Governor, with @ view of ascertaining if there was any ground to bepe for a further respite. ‘The Governor, in answer to the despatch, late in the afternoon ad- dressed the Sheriff, stating that mo further reprieve would be granted by him. (he Rev, Mr. Verren like. wise reveived @ telegraphic despatch from Mr. Clinton, eetting forth that apy iurther interierence im the cise of Gruanzig wes hopeless.

Asecciation, youray: “The Artists’ Association bave closed their accounts for the year, and will hardly ineur the reeponsibility of another campeign, unless under circumstancesmuch more inviting than those of last yeer.” and that “you do not believe the American Ar- tists’ Asrociation would exist a year, if a proper, liberal, abd comprehensive art union gallery were founded, an: means taken to bring the works of our artists before the public without intermediate agency.” I feel eure that you Will most willingly corrcet a miestatement, which, owing to the great circulation of your paper, might do much injury to cur association. "So far from the asso- ciation feeling any fear about incurring the responal- bility of another campaign, the second year has been opened under the mort favorable auspices, and it is in- tended to be prosecuted with renewed vigor. The first year was one of unceasing toil—often working almost auainst hope, Many sympathised with us; but fow—it being an experiment, with no security against its fail- ing—bad the courage to lend a helping haud. Now, that it hseeucceeded, and has done all, and even more, than war ever promised; friends have risen up on every side.and many have come forward with “ substantial sid’? Tassure you, sir, the esrociation is not failing, but isin good health As te the association not being abje to exit one year, if a “ pooper, liberal ana compre- hensive art union gallery were founded.” I would say | that the asrociation porsestes all these qualities, in their | widest reoge; for it receives all artists exactly on the same footing— gives each one a share in the benefits, and guarantees to the subcribers a more bountiful return then avy ripilar institution of a different form sf go- | vernment ean possibly; ard there can be uo fear of any body of artists in this city organizing an institution | tm opposition to this. Allow me to thack you, in the name of the members of the arevciation, for your kindness, in weporiing in full | the proceedings of our first sonual distribution ; and | believe me, Yours, very resprctfally.

Quotations for stocks were pretry well su tained to-dey, and there was considerable ectivity in the merket. Reading Railroad continues the most promi- nent fancy with speculators. Morris Canal hes been started again, and it is possible an excitement suffistent to inflate prices several per cent, may be ccwated in that fency. It would not rurprise us if outsiders rushed in to buy Morris, at twenty and twenty-five per cent, who have refused to touch it at fifteen. Long Teiand is steadily moving upward, and holders feel confident that it hae as wide ® margin for improvement s* any other fency in the list, Erie Mnilroad is in a bad way, Au immense amount of stock has changed hands lately, and many Who have been fo active for some time pastia sustaining prices, have realized, and it is now tor their interest that prices should depreciate. Whether they will succeed or not in depressing tue market, is a matter of much doubt, According to our vaiuation, Erie Railroad stock is worth about sixty per cent, It is, therefore, selling now at an advance of thirty-three per centon that price, Harem is pow selling at seventy and a half, dividend on, This stoek is intrinsically worth more than Erie, and we have no doubt in lees than six months it will sell for more in Wail street.

The Treasurer of the Mint disposes of this story as follows :— U.8.M Priravriania, Janvany 28, 1852, The above siatewent is entirely incorrect, so far ae it imputes tbe scarcity of the three cent coin either to the law or tothe Mint. Bo tar from the coinage of that piece having been ‘delayed’? for any reason, it is sufti- cient to anewer that we have alresdy issued over six, illions of pieces. With reference to the alleged reity, it must be expected. of course, that a coin net eight months before the publio, willbe some time in fluding its way into circulation. But every accommo. dation is afforded at the Miot for that purpose.
