Missouri. Sy. Lous, Mo., March 17, 1882. The Departure of Kossuth for the Sovth, accompanied by Ujhazy-—Sale of New Buda--Hungavian Colony in Texas---Movenents of Col. Benton--- Beath of his Son--Hiness of Rev. Dr. Potts- Miss Hayes’ Concerts, &. Kossuth and his friends left here hast night on the good boat Aleck Scott, for the South, and the Koreuthian fever, which raged among the Germans, has subsided with the’ absence of that eclat his presence gave. His old friend, Ujhazy, who, with a small band of Hungarians, established a colony in lowa, called New Buda, has accompanied him. New Buda has been sold, and the eoloniats are look- ing towards a new home in Texas. The amount of ‘‘material sid” raised here is stated at nine thousand seven hundred dollars, which is said to be exclusive of ten thousand dollare held in bonds by a society or company of Germans. 'T’ however, is not authenticated and is merely a flying joeal report. Deputations from several up river towns came here with invitations, all of which were met with regrets—other engagements, &c. } me Koseuth has held her levee—thereby giving to the ladies a fair oportunity of displaying the spring fashions, and their Rectiality to lionizing. The Governor has received deputations with dddreasos—— has spoken to the ‘ladies and gentlemen of St. Louis,” in Wyman’s Hall—the admission to which was the exhibit of a five dollar Hungarian bond,-- has thrust his legs undor the private mahogany of a German friend, and taken his soup and beef there- from, quite in a sociable, family way,—has reccived a morning call from some twenty of the clergy, with Dr. A. Bullard as their organ,—has created an epi- demical taste for a peculiar oddity in the shape efabat, which he patronises personally; and has gone off elsewhere, to go through the same per- Jormance. Among all his visitants, Col. Benton was not one, contrary to our expreased opinion in our last, and this has opened a market for much fruitful spec- ulation. It is broadly hinted at, that the honorable gentleman is vacillating between the German and Irish vote, and it is in the highest degree probable, that such may be the unsteady condition of his mind at the present. It was ceralaly, a disagreeable po- sition to be placed in. On the one hand, the Ger- mang, wnavimons in favor of Kossuth and the ‘*m: terial aid,” and on the other, the Trish Catholics,de- nouncing the Magyar through the organ of their Chareb. It will be a completo reading of the two retools. The Germans have got the presumption that the slight to Kossuth was intentional, aud an gpen market offer to the Catholics; and with the Fpirit which exists betwoen them, we believe the omis- sion will be remembered to the honorable gentle- snan’s cost, at some future day. The Catholics have also their fears of Col. Benten, as his active condj tors are intimately allied with the German enthusi- am for Kossuth and his doctrines. Kossuth’s great speech here, delayed for one day by ‘} heavy rain, and, at last, delivered under ® soak. shower, and a most Austrianic sky, was aimed directly at the Jesuits, and to set Uimsclt right on the question of religious liberty with the Catholics. You have already reeeived that speech, but I will merely state that his assertion, that of the thirty-five Josuits in the college here, eight were imported frem Austria, was denounced as a falsity on the following morning, by the “Shepherd of the Valley.” That denial, Bhoccan as well as its eon- tradiction to Kossuth, that the Romish elergy of Hungary were his warmest supporters, were weak, and disproved nothing to the publie, whatever they may have done to the Catholie readers of that paper. : The rospeet which gleamed for a moment, ‘ofa yeconciliation of interest between the Bentonites and the anties, has clouded over, and is now, per- haps, as distant as ever. The nominations com- prised two anties, and by this bait the election of the ticket, and nothing but the ticket, was predica- ted. The Bentonian nominee for Mayor, Gen. Conway, formerly Surveyor General, was put for- ward as an acceptable man to the anties, as not being ultra. The General was asked to define his position, in an answer, through the Post Office, but the General manfully settled the question, as to which side of the fence he was on, by answering “through the organ of his party,”’ as he said. This was the Unson, and the mex’ the anti-Ben- ton journal] is, of course, repudiated. This was con- clusive, and all hope for the splitten up democracy its the Mound City is over, for some time to come at least. Col. Benton met with a heavy Joss this morn- ing, inthe death of bis only son, John Randolph Benton, twenty-two years old. He had been sick since the 12th. The illness of the Rev. Dr. Potts has taken an unfavorable turn, which will end in an ensly death. His physicians huve given up all hope of saving him, and his friends thronghout the States may expect confident!y to hear of his dissolution. His lungs are trightfully diseased. so much so, wo hear, that a very smuail portion of the left lung is sound. : A terrible instance of seduction and murder has just come to my knowledge, and the police and two ‘of the constabulary of Chicago are now in hot pursuit of the murderer. A man contrived, by working on the fears of two girls, and assisted by another man, to seduce them. He then took thers to Winnebago county, Illinois, where he mur- dered one of them by poison. For this, he was ar- rested ly the Sheriif of the county, after being shot through the back, in his attempt to escape. The in- juries from this shot wound were considered so dan- gerous that he placed under the cave of a phy: cian, no fears being entertained that he could possi- bly eseape. He did escape, from the inefficient espionage, and has been tracked here. A man ow swering his description applied to the Sisters of Charity Hospital for admission, but was not re- lieved. He is believed to be hiding m the city, and must be suffering greatly. Kate Hayes is announced to give her first concert here to-morrow night. She was to sing in Memphis on Inet nicht. and we think eannot arrive in time to sing betuve Saturday. We anticipate most e aging success for her here. M South Carolina. Borpgavx P. O., Abbeville Dist., S. C. } March 23, 1852. Politics in South Carolina—The Railroad Fever— Jealousy of Georgia. There isno political news of interest in the State at present, nor is there likely to be any about Presi- dent making. If Sonth Carolina could be coaxed and persuaded to vote at all, she might be prevailed on to vote fora good Southern Rights jocrat, especially if there was no probability of his being elected ; provided he was an honest man and a great man, and had not been heard of in polities for at least ten years. The people now are excited and almost mad about railroads. Some are being built, and others are proposed, that are neccssary and will pay well. Some are doubtful, and others again, that are pro- posed, if bnilt, must prove dead eapital. This vailvoad excitement has beon greatly increased, no doubt, by the extreme illiberality of the last Geor- Boston, Mareh 27, 1852. ‘The Blaine Law in the Howse--- Proposed Repeal of the Phuratity Law--Delegates to the Fourth of Ju- dy Convention at Phibadélphia--- The Suffolk Bank Affair, §e. ‘The taking up of the liquor billin the House of Representatives has revived all the bad feelings and deep interest that were felt on the eubject during the Senatorial discussion, but in which the delay of the other branch had caused some abatement. The Houe has gone into the subject with a will, and gentlemen are speaking on it at a rate which bids fair toconsume many days of what is faectiously called the people’s time. An attempt wae made to limit speakers to half an hour each; but it worked so badly that the rule was rescinded. The proba- bility is, that the Senate’s amendment to the origi- nal bill, whereby the people were to voie on the question of suspending the operations of the law, will be strickon out. The whigs, as a general thing, will vote against the amendment, not be- lieving it to be proper. Some free soilers will do the same thing, for various reasons, and quite a | number of democrats, in tho hope of causing the \ whole affair to die in the mere attempt to give it a fair start in life. The temperance mon are quite discouraged at tho “prospect before them,” as they believe that everything is judged of by political ideas—wherein they are not far wrong. They have urged upon the House to take | the bill asit came from the Senate, without amend- | ment--shrewd advice, which the friends of the measure would do well to heed in the House. The feur is that the meagure will be lost between the two branches, tho realization of which—supposing the House to strike out the amendment—must de- nd upon the amount of obstinacy with which the Senate is endowed. As the bill never would have received beyond 16 (some say 15) votes in the Senate without the amendment having been adopted, it might be inferred that the matter is as as decided at this moment; but such is not the Of the nine Senators who voted ayainst the bill with the amendment, there is one who would vote for it without the amendment; and the sole ab- sentee when the vote was taken is now well, and would support the bill in any shape. So that the vote, taking the previous one asa basis of caleula- tion, would stand, 32 to 8; and the fate of tho bill would depend upon the steadfastness with which democratic Senators should adhere to their previously expressed opinions on the subject. It would require, in a full Senate, only the votes of three of their number to pass the bill without tho amendment. Of the free soil members all but one would vote for the bill as it should come from the House. This would give it twelve votes; six whigs would vote for it, making eighteen in all, or within three of a majority of the whole Senate. | know one democratic member who will vote for the bill without the reference, though preferring it as it stands; so that the fate of the bill would depend upon the action of two of the twenty-one men who compose its democratic and whig opponents. I have reason for believing that the two votes thus required would not be held back for ever. At the sare time I wish to be understood as speaking with a good deal of reservation ou this subject, which de- fies all calculation. For instanee, some of the most intelligent members of the House assure me that. there are reasons for doubting the passage of the law through that bedy in any shape. Others, who have just returned from home, assert that the people will reject the law, if it should be referred to them —which others as vehemently deny. The impression among our free soilers is, that their party must run a Presidential candidate, no matter who may be run by the democracy. So far as this State is concerned, it would be all the better | for the free soilers to have a candidate of their own, as it would be a very hazardous proceeding to attempt a‘ coalition” on electors, for though nine- tenths of both our democrats and free soilers would cordially support a union ticket, the conduct of the other tenth is by no means certain, and they might be found strong enough to throw the State into the hands of the whigs, now that a plurality chooses electors. But to prevent the whige from carrying the electoral vote of Massachusetts, it will be neces- sary to repeal the plurality law, Should this be done, and three electoral tickets be run, there will he no choice by the people, and the present Legisla- ture would be called together to make choice of such officers. Whom it would choose I know not; but T do know whom it would not choose: it would not choore whig electors, Our thirteen votes would belost tothe party which has always had them whenever there lias been any contest. Now, in 1848, the v votes of Massachusetts came within six of deciding the character of the Presidential contest. Should the contest. prove as close in 1852 as it was then, Massachusetts may be of some importance in Gentlemen of all deciding between candidates. | parties know this, and hence the interest that is felt | in the disposition of this subject. Will the plurality | law be repealed? Yes, if the coalition members have sense; but not if they are afraid of fa | storm. One of the coalition members of the S says, that a bill to repeal the plurality law should be introduced, with this title, ‘* A bill'to correct an error of the last session”’—and an exceedingly egre- gious error, politically considered, would he cor- rected. The prospest of Mr. Fillmore receiving the nomina- tion of his party for the Presidency is beginning to | increase among our whigs, who think that he would | do better at the South than Scott, and almost as well in the North, partieularly if Cass sheuld be the democratic"eandidate. The Boston Custom-House, which is the headquarters of the whig opposition here to Mr. Webster, would gladly take up I'illmore, though its comtrollers would prefer Scott, less Sew- ard. The whigs here, notwithstanding their local means are more divided than the con itiGnists, and | are more likely to have a good, savage quarvel, out of the action of their party's national convention. There is bitter hatred of one another at the bottom of the hearts of the several fraetions into which the whigs are divided, which is the more readily soen now that some strong glanees of prospective success have shone w em from the workings of the Maine law. In State matters they are all right, but on the President they are not. I believe that I have already told you, that our Legislature had resolved to send two delegates to the Philadelphia Convention, to be held in Indepon- dence Hall on the 4th of July next, for the pur- pose of doing matters toward the erection and main- tenanee of monuments in honor of ‘the signers.” It is said that Charles Francis Adams will be one of the delegates, and there would be a fitness in ehoosing him that does not always characteriza such things. As the grandson of John Adams, the man who more than any ether fought, in the Conti- nental Congress, the great battle of American na- tionality and independence, he could participate in the proposed convention with the utmost propriety. The talent of the family has descended to its ot representative to a very fair extent; and it is now almost a century that it has exerted aa influence on the nation. It is supposed that the Convention gia Legislature, in refusing to grant the petitions of Tennessee and Alabama, to let the Goorgia and South Carolina railroads be united at oH tle by a bridge, across the Savannah riyer, making their communication direct and eomplete, by railroad, with Charleston, which market they preferred. But Georgia says the Augusta and Savannah mar- kets are the best, and as proof, they exact heavy and exorbitant tolls, and other lets and hindranees at Augusta and other points inthe State, to pre- vent produce from reaching Charleston. This reminds us of the old man who refused to let his children t their faverite uncle, because he was alittle (oo aristocratie, and fed them up too high, and gave them something to take home with them, but insisted on visits being paid to uncle ‘fom, who fed them on bog and hominy, aud short commons at that. After a while the old man’s pre- judices became so great, that he refused to let his ‘children’s eousin-german, who passed down that way to visit the favorite uncle, go to any other place but uncle Tom's. They all swore, after trying it twice, that itwas too bad, for they got leaner every time they went. The cousins set to work to find some way to go round this eontrary old uncle's, and the aristocratic nucle found out the trouble, and said he would help these boys. But the old man’s sons soon got sullen, and said they would not go from ich all, if they could not ge where they found the best . Florid: Avousting, March 17, 1852 sin Florida. I give you a description of a twelve days’ hunt in Orange eounty, Vlorida, by a party of gontlemen, consisting of Major F. A. Schley, John C, Houston, Thomas Bloodgood, J. G. Wicks, G. G. Hubbard, and J. B. Palmer, who have been hunting on Deep Creck with extraordinary good luck. Werlestroyed 112 deer, 8 wild turkeys, 5 racoogs, 2 wild cats (the largest | ever saw), 1 wolf, 3 opossums, 51 quail, 33 ducks, and 20 alligators, the est measuring 18 feet, and none under 12 feet. 6 party broke up sooner than they anticipated, on, acceunt of tho excitement about the Indians,‘ which had se alarmed the invalids at Lake Monroe that they all left by the first boat. So we concluded to do like- wise. This is the greatest eountry for game that | ever caw, and the Takes and rivers abound in fish that are very fine. Our party caught a Florida ivout, Weighing Ibs. T should advise avy one eoming here to hunt, to give Orange county a trial, and they will not be disappointed. We are having beautiful weather here; the thermometer to-day stands at 78. We have green peas and straw- berries on our table every day. Among the strangers lately with us, were Egbert Benson and daughter, New Youk, ond the Chevalier Hyleemann. would call Mr. Adams to preside over its delibera- tions. The other delegate, supposing a whig should be chosen, will probably be Colonel Schouler, of the | Boston Atias ; but it is not settled that the whigs are to have one, and a coalitionist may be chosen as Mr. Adams's colleague. The Colonel deserves the | place, as being the most liberal of whig editors. | The arrest of Mr. Brewer, of the Suffolk Bank, and the fight of Mr. Rand, excited no little aston- ishment. People here have a sort of notion that the Suffolk Bank is an institution beyond the reach | of the attacks of fortune, that it is perfect; and | something of this odor of perfection has been at- | tached to every man who has been connected with the institution. Therefore you can easily imagine | the astonishment consequent on the intelligence that | | | two of its officers had turned out to be very like the wicked. What made the matter all the more horri- ble was the fact that one of the alleged delinquents was a nephew of the cashier. The whole world of | Mammon was aghast, and for a time State sireet felt that it had a heart—thongh of iron. Rand, the | book-keeper, who got off in the Asia, was a regular bankrupt speculator, having lost everything he pos- sessed--and at one time he was supposed to be very wealthy—in a certain speculation that proved to be a regular Serbonian bog to all who bad anything to do with it. Rand had the decency, on his failure, to resign his office at the Bank, boing aware that man who has gone through the process of insolvency as a consequence of his Tailure in a speculation, is not exactly the person to inspire confidence ; but | tho directors would not accept the resignation, and literally compelled him, as it were, to hold on to his place. “If it should tun out that he has ‘sold’ them, they will have none but themselves to thank for their loss. He seems to think that if the direc- tors had such eontidence in he might as well | avail himsell of it to retriev fortune. As to Brewer, the case against him is one of sim- pe suspicion merely, and is supposed by many to have been trumped up only to get at someting which sball tend to clear up the mystery in whic! the supposed robbery of the messenger of the Thames Bank is involved.” It is believed that Brewer has the key to that mystery, and that @ smart applica- tion of a sort of mental Baie fire et dure will cause | him to give it up to the directors of the bank. Brewer is known to have been intimate with the messenger, and that officer came here to see hin | only # week ago. Then the stolen bills have been | coming in of late, ina most mysterious manner, as | if a hnow ing hand was engaged in getting them off. On the whole, things look suspicious for bank oft- ccs generally, though nothing positive has as yet ppenred against Brewer. He aay be no worse than his neighbors, and most probably is not. ALGOMA. | | fer, that in this field of ripe grain there Maine. Bangor, March 20, 1852. Important Judicial Decision—Town Elections— Gov. Hubbard--Dr. Pond on the “ Rappings” —&t. Patrick's Day—Ladies’ Levee—Watch- man’s Clubs—The Brewer Bank, &c. An important decision was made Iaet week by Judge Hathaway, in a case brought to recover forty caeks of liquor, which had been seised by the autho- tities of Eastport, on board a vessel lying at tho wharfin that place. It was proved, on the part of the plaintiff, that the liquor was purchased in Bos- ton, and directed to a man in the province of New Brunswick, and that the vessel put into Eastport for the sole purpose of discharging other freight. The Judge instructed the jury, that if they were satisfied the liquor was not intended for sale at Eastport, but was en voute, as appeared in evidence, to the neighboring province, it would be their duty to find a verdict for the plaintift. The jury found a verdict according to the charge of the e, and the Court ordered the liqnors to be restored to the rightful owner. ‘This decision will seriously inter- fere with the plan long since matured by the ‘‘ram- rods,” as they are alles; in this State, which was to seize all the liquor in transit along the coast, before it could be landed. A large quantity has al- ready been seized, which was being conveyed in versels along the coast, and on teams through the State ; all of which, according to Judgo Hathaway’s ion, was unlawfully taken, and will have to be given up to the claimants of the property. Stringent as the law is, it is a curious fact, that tho over zealous and hot headed lenders in the tem- perance eange cannot keep within its provisiong, but are urged beyond its limits by their madness and haste, to the great disparagement of the law, and the detriment of the State. It so happens, that nearly all the large seizures hitherto made have heen effected in violation of the law, and thé pro- perty hag subsequently been ordered by the courts to be restored to the owners. The town elections have nearly all been heard from, and in a majority of the towns where the law was made a test, the “ramrods” have come off second best. True, in many of the towns they have elected their officers; but Iam confident. that in a large majority of them, they have been badly beaten. This is certainly the caso in the eastern part ef the State, to my personal knowledge. The truth is, in the cities where the sad effects of in- temperate habits are constantly visible, the law meets with a vigorous and cordial support; but in the “rural districts,’ where these evils are compa- ratively unknown, the people regard the law as unjust and oppressive in the extreme, and have shown EE of it by casting anti-ramrod votes at the polls. This looks bad for Governor Hubbard. That he has the remotest chance for a re-election by the people, is not now seriously entertained by bis most devoted friends. Were the trial to take place to-morrow, he would want more than twenty sand votes of an election. His immediate poli iends do their best to allay the storm that is brewing, and to reconcile the hardy yeomanry, who are the main pillar of the democratic cause, to the Governor and his administration, but it is up-hill business. They tell them that the blame aiaael be laid upon the members ef the Legislature, and not. upon the Governor, as he had nothing to do with the passage of the bill. But the eturdy yeoman answe the argument by an ominous shake of the head. They try to convince them that it would have been disrespectful to the Legislature, as well as bad policy in a part point of view, for the Governor to have refused his signature, after the~ bill had paseed by so decided a majority. But they are answered by a look of scorn and loathing, which, being interpretetl, moans: ‘We care nothing about your Legislature nor your Governor. e have certain rights; we know what those rights are; and wo to the man, or the magis- trate. who attempts to wrest them from us.” Had the bill been placed before the people, previous to its passage—had it not been concocted in secret and sprung upon the Legislature, and forced through with such amazing rapidity, before a knowledge of its pro- visions could have been obtained, even by members themselves, it would have been much better, both for the Jaw and for the Governor. As it is, the masses have but little confidence in such precipitate public servants. Asa matter of fact, there were not probably a dozen men in the State who possessed anything like an accurate knowledge of the character of the bill till after it became alaw. Neither the people or the press had any time to record their verdict, or express their judgment concerning it, but it was galloped threugh the Legislature at a speed which defied all attempts to keep pace with it, and the Governor’s endorsement immediately procured to save it from spoiling. Such precipitate legisla- tion is obviously of the character coutemplated by the constitution as ** hasty,” dhd_ afforded a pr case for executive interference. Had the Gov pocketed the bill, and kept it till the r the Legislature in January last, and if by the voice of the people and the press in the interim, he had be- come sitisfied that the law was demanded by them, he could then have signed the bill with much less danger to himsclf then awaits him now. The Rev. Dr. Pond, Professor of Biblical Theology in the Bangor Theological Seminary, delivered a highly instructive and amusing lecture on Sabbath evening, touching the “sin and danger of holding intercourse with familiar spirits.” The spacious City Hall, long before the hour for the lecture to commence, was packed literally full of human flesh, and multitudes were obliged to forego the pleasure of the entertainment for want of room. This dis- course was called forth in consequence of the preva- lence of the ‘spiritual manifestations” in this city, and the manifold dangers to be apprehended from the startling communications from the unseen world. It is enough to say, for the present, that the learned professor treated the subject in a manner highly satisfactory to his large and attentive audience, and well calculated to arrest the mania which hithorto, to speak mildly, has been productive of but little geod. St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated in this city hy that portion of our adopted citizens who have eschewed strong drink, and enrolled themselves under the banner of temperance. The recognition of the vir- tues of their patron saint, although hearty and sin- cere, was far less imposing than on former occasi Doubtless those who participated in the festivities enjoyed a refreshing season; but to the citizens generally, who have been accustomed, heretofore, to witness, on that day, a grand parade, with martial music, and banners f ing, it wae a tame affair. The fact is, the “‘dhrink” is an indispensible ele- ment in the Irish character. Deprive an Irishman of the divinity of the bowl, and you reduce him to the level of a puritan. The Pat is all purged out of him, and he’s aman no better than a Yankee! he will do better for Slievegammon than for Water- loo. The following is one of the toasts, given by William Brady :-- Governor Hubbard—May be never conse till he drives all the rum-sellers into the sca, as St. Patrick drove the venomous snakes from Ireland. The meaning of this sentiment is not quite #0 transparent as one might desire. Whether Mr. Brady intended to express a wish that Governor Hubbard might not ‘ eease” to be the executive head of the State, or might not ** cease” to exert his influence in the promotion of temperance, or might not ‘* cease” to pursue the even tenor of his | way, in the old beaten path—whieh habit has made familiar—does not distinctly appear. The ladies held a grand levee on Thursday even- ing, for the benefit of the poor of this an agreeable social gathering, from wh rived $500. This sum was put into the hands of the Rey. Mr. Wells, the faithiul city mis be distributed amongst the poor and needy In all the cities and villages in Maine thore is an organization known by the mame of the ‘Watch- man’s Club.’ The main object of this organization is, it is said, to ferret out all places where liquor is sold contrary to law, and to exercise a general supervision over the morals of the community. In thiscity they number about 500, many of whom, it is charitable to ieetray are gentlemen of intelli- gence and moral worth. But, as tares will always grow among the wheat, it isnot presumptuous to generous sprinkling of smuity heads. Their meetings aro open only to the initiated, and their purposes are only known as they are developed by their move- ments. ‘fo a portion of the members of this order the task of taking care of other people’s business is the most agreeable service in which they could possibly be engaged; because, in the first place, they have no business of their own, and in the second Sam Slick would say, they have an * orfal ‘in to be prying into other people's coneeras.”” The history of the past lives of some of i written, would constitute a curious ehapt graphical literature—one quite ae entertaining a6 the Forrest divorce caae. Acard was published some weeks since in the Bangor papers, and extensively copied by the ers_in other States, over the signature “rost,”’ a gentleman formerly of this cit ey oe receipt of $200, which some compuac- tious, defunct Brewer Bank, which had never been signed by the President or Cashier. The sequel to the joke transpired yesterday. It accidently leaked out that the penitent who remitted the money was & certain ex-city solicitor, a respectable lawyer ef this city, whore bump of fun stieks “out about a feet,” and who, although he docs not stand so high in his stockings, is nevertheless of more than medium sta- (ure in the public estimation. ‘The wag who disco- vered the secret determined to pay the solicitor off in hisown coin, Accordingly, he hired the city crier to perambulaie the streets, and ery the follow- Will be sold at publie aueti this r ) o'clock, atthe office of ——, Eaq., ex City Solicitor, 100 shares inthe Brewer Bank.” At the appointed hour # vcore of the knowing ones az- ut unknown sinner, had generously remitted. | ‘The money, however, turned out to be bills on the | eembled at the solicitor’s office, each being oxcood- ingly anxious to learn aboutthe particulars of the sale. ‘*How much stock have you for sale ?” asked one. “What is the market value?” i ano- ther. ‘When does the sale commence?” vovife- rated athird.

At this juncture the auc- tioneer read the above notice, which readily ex- plained to the solicitor why he was honored with the presence of so numerous and respectable a dele- gatioa. Rising with his accustomed grace and dig- nity, the solicitor, in his blandest manner, respond- ed that he had already disposed of all his Brewer stock to Mr. Frost, and that the best he could do for them would be to offer a little fancy stock, which Was much more desirable, notwithstanding it had been cried downin the market of late, and a recent statute had pronounced it worthless. Aftor oach had taken his share of the preferred stock, it is un- necessary to say that the company dispersed, highly Gratified with the sale. «+ Paver See ee Our Cuban Correspondence.

When General Enna wage shot by the libe- rators, at Los Frias, the command devolved upon General Rosales, who declared that the reason why he did not follow up and second the attack on tho “pirates,” commenced by Enna, was because he had no faith in his troops! The matter is to be settled in Spain, as the authorities aro afraid of raising a seandal here, by ha ing acourt martial, fearing that Rosales might be able to prove what. he states he can easily do, namely—that the troops at the time were almost in an open state of revolt!

No public man, perhaps, war #0 closely identified with theee colonies as the late Sir John Harvey, As Colonel Harvey. he held a high command in the army during the war of 1812, and was appointed, at its close, Adjutant Ge- neral at Quebec. During his residence here, he endeared himeelf to the hearts of all those who knew him, and was accompanied, at his departure, by the regrets and best withes of all our leading citizens. He held for some time the office of Governor of one of the minor eolonies— Prince Edward's Island, I believe—whence he was Ye- moved, some yoarsago, to Nova Scotia, This latter pro- vince he has ruled for a much longer period than is ueually allotted to colonial governors; and from the tone of the newspaper prese, and the language of his political opponents, seems to have earned genorat respect and po- pularity, ‘The last year of his life wae embitiered by domestic affiction. He is reported to have said, when Lady Harvey died, last year. that the only tie which at- tached him to the world was severed, and that nothing now remained for him but the last repose of the jast. He ‘was upwards of reventy years of age. ‘A report has Ii that Lord Eigin had sent in his resignation a8 Governor of Canada, ‘The reasons, Which I gave youin my last, lead me to doubt its accuracy. 1 do not think. uniess intrigue be at work in Downing street. thet we shall lose him so soon During the inst term of the Courts of Appeale, a man- damus care was decided which has attraeted a good de ofattention hire, and ix of some public interert. Until the year 1848 there were two cemetericeat Quebec—one Catholic. and the other Protestant, The latter being too small. it was decided, in 1847, to establish a Protestant cemetery. and the late Major Douglas. of the United States, accordingly luid out a piece of land, in the vicinity of the city. for the purpoee, It was the joint property of all the Protestant sects. there being no division line or partition between any of them. The Church of England bishop. who had consented with reluctance tothe admis- sion of dissenters into the cemetery, issued a pastoral let- ter. shortly after its extablichment, in which he stated that the lots therein purehared by members of the Chureh of England must be consecrated, and prohibited his clergy from burying in the unconsecrated portions Now, many members of the church hold consecration to be an urelexs ceremony—a vestige of the mummeries of a f these, in whom the domestic feelings y a strong sense of public spirit. and pe haps, toa certain degree, by the bigotry of toleranc: denied the legality of the bishop's proceeding. and re- quired the ministration of oneof his clergy at th of his infant child. in a lot which was not or é ‘The clergyman refused, and bis parishioner applied for a mandemurtocempel him to comply with hiv request Lhe vencabie bishop Liaise! suowed cause against the rule in court. and it was refused. ond upplication was made, slightly varying in its legal tenor from the first, with like succees inthe court below. It was taken into appeal, and the highest court in the province has now formally decided that the bishop cannot be com- pelled to bury in unconsecrated greund. These legal proceedings have occupied a period of some eight or nine months. during which the deceased child has been lying in its coffin In the receiving vault at the cemetery. Whether we approve or dissent from the judgment of the court, it cannot foil to suggest several important con- siderations, According to the grounds of the judgment, no court of justice in Canada has the right to compel the Bishop to perform any ministerial act. He may bury. christen, or marry, a% he pleases; if it be his will and pleasure to refuse to perform any of these services, the party injured has no redrese. At the same time, he is required by law to keep registers of births, deaths, and marrisges. and extracts from these registers are the only legal evidence of these, the most important acts of life. To those who enjoy the acquaintance of that truly estimable man. the present Bishop of Quebec, it will seem unreasonable to suppose that such unbounded authority, and uncontrolled eway, could ever be abused by him, Bat he will have successors—men, perhaps, like the Bishop of Montreal, unknown in We ooloay, and arriving here fresh from the Puseyite cloisters of Oxford. or the papistical precincts of St. Barnabas. What his principles may recoil from, they may dare to do; and what would, in such a case, be the ‘condition of the laity of the @hurch of England? T think it very possible that a bill may be introduced, during the next sossion, to make it obligatory on clergymen to perform the various services of religion. when required to do so by their parishioners, T ree you have received. and noticed. the circular pub- by Mr. Lecourt, dgropos of his uncle's estate and the priests.” Token cw grano salis. there is much in it whict is deserving of attention. There is no de in the mind of any man who has watched the movements of the y for the last few years. in Cavada, and has the eto think on #0 dangerous a theme, that spolia- sof the nature of that related by Mr. Lecourt, are common enough, especially in the country parishes. ‘The Seminary has replied to Lecourt at some length, and asseite the principle that priests are bound. in honor, to leave their property to the church; hinting, signifi- cantly, for the benefit of the superstitious. that legacie from’ pricsts always bring ill fortune to the recipient. All this is very ead, and the wort feature of the case is, that not one newspaper in Lower Canada has dared to publish Lecourt’s circular; fo long i# the priestly arm, and #0 terrible its claws, I begin to think the New Yorx Herat is a safer guide on Canadian matters than our own journals. The Exceutive Council. with Mr. Malcolm Cameron in the chair. have been very busy of late. Rumor says that, since Hinck’s departure, the Cameron and Rolph influence Preponderates. and that the verata questio of the abolition, orfemodelling of the legislative council. is now under consideration, The bill for rendering the legislative council of New Brunswick elective, was lost by one vote; I should not be surprised to sce a similar bill introduced into our Assembly. If it were carried, the appointment ofthe Governor would be the only anti-republican feature in our constitution, There cannot be a doubt that, as it now exists, it is worve than a nullity, and might be done away with, or altered into an Assembly like the Senate of the United States, without exciting the least discontent among Canadians, St. Patrick's day was kept with the usual honors.

Boston Journal, Friday, | of a large a ing busi The Great Fire in Philadelphia. [From the Philadelphia Inquirer, 20th inst} LOPS OF NEARLY A MILLION OF DOLLARS WorRrt OF PROPERTY. One of the most destructive conflagrations that has visited this city, for years pa: curred yos- terday morning, just before one o’cloek, in the ranite stores running from Bank street to Straw orry street, between Chesnut and Market streets, The fire was first discovered in the baw of Mesers. A. J. Lewis & Co.’s warehoure, No. 11 Bank Alley, and No. 12 Strawberry street. The alarm was promptly given by the State House ani other bells; and tho firemen were promptly at the scene of destruction. The stores being fire-proof, and constructed throughout in the most sub- stantial manner, it was some time before the doore could be forced open, and the fire had passed ap into the upper stories before the fire- men were enabled to get the water upon Messrs. Lewis & Co. are importers and des woollen goods, linens, stuff goods, &e. Thoir stock, ag usual at this season of the year, was exe uly large, and had been materially increased by heavy arrivals from Europe. Their entire low is about $275,000, nearly all of which is covered by insu- | rance. Their stock was insured in twenty-one of- | fices, part of them in Europe. In the upper part of this store were about 600 packages of foreign goods, under Custom House lock. Tho firemen, assisted by the marshal’s police, and the night and day police of the Mayor's department, labored inertial to | confine the flames to this building, but were unsuc- | cessful. The combustible nature of the goods was | such, that the flames, for a time, appeared to be be- ond control. The heat thrown out from the burn- ing goods was so intengo as to repeatedly drive the | firemen and police from the scene of action with blistered hands and faces. The buildings were all fire-proof, having their doors and shut- ters covered with sheet iron, otherwise the store houses on the opposite sides of the streets must in- cvitably have been destroyed. Messrs. Gihon & Co. oveupy the store adjoining that of Messrs. Lewis & Co.'s, on the nerth, The doors of their building were forced at an early hour, and when it was found imposeibie to save the building, the firemen and po- lice carried out the greater portion of their goods, and placed them in the stores on the opposite side of the street, and in other places of saloty. ‘Their stock was valued at $150,000, and consisted mostly of domestic cotton and woollen goods. Their loss is mostly from water, and they are fully covered by insurance in different offices in this city aud to the eastward. The second story of this building was oecupied by Me: Wyeth, Rogers & Co., impor- ters and wholesale dealers im laces and faney goods. Their stock was large, valued at about 108,000, and being in the upper part of the building, but a trifling amount of it was got out, and that in such a damaged condition as to be almost, worthless. They were also nearly covered by insurance. The building to the south of Lewis & Co's store was oceupied by Messrs. Stuart and Brother. This store runs from No. 13 Bank strect, to No. 14 Strawberry street. They had a stock of goods on hand, valued at near $450,000, consisti' of faney and staple goods of all description this amount there is an insurance of $400,000, partly in offices in this country, and partly in urope, which will about cover their loss, as a considerable portion of their goods were saved ina damaged con- dition. Their importations recently, in anticipation have been unusually pods was not surpassed by heavy, and their stock of any in this country. ‘Their books and papers were preserved in safety. ‘The upper stories of their store, as well as that of the adjoining stores, were loaded down with goods, and a heat of the fire was such, as repeatedly to drive the firemen from the strect. iS erry strect 'The store No. 16 Stra was occupied by Messrs. E. M. Davis & Co., dealers in fancy and staple goods of all descriptions. Their h building was only partially destroyed—the fo and fifth stories being considerably burned. Their stock of goods was also large, but the most of it was saved, with but trifling damage. We were unuablo to learn the extent of the loss, the value of the stock, or the amount of theirinsurance. These three large stores were owned by Messrs. Stuart & Brother. They were valued at $00,000, and were fully insured. They were four stories in height, fire proof, con- structed throughout in the most approved style, and each furnished with large fire proof safes. The first stories were all of granite, and the upper ones of brick. The firemen are entitled to the highest commendations for the prompt and efficient manner in which they bat- tled with the fiery clements, which for a time baf- fled al] their efforts, and threatened the entire square with destruction. The most of them were on duty from ten to twelve hours. The police of both departments are also entitled to the greatest praise for their manly efforts in assisting the firemen, and preserving goods from the flames. A large amount of goods, consisting of cloths, silks, linen and cotton goods, thread, shawls, &c., &e., were picked up in the etrcei by the Marshal’s police, and conveyed to the Adelphi station house, where they await an owner. ‘There were seventeen persons arr during the morning, having in their possession pieces of goods, handkerchiefs. threads, &e., which it is supposed they intended to purloin.’ They were promptly tuken into custody by the police of the two | expense of sonic poor | vertivement in your | York. were lost o departments, and locked up in the station honse. Yesterday morning, Wm. McCourt, J. A. Keel, T. 8. Morgan, Patrick Murphy, William Hendress, Thos. byson, James Cook, Thomas Kelly, John Kelly, William Anderson, Andrew Shearer, and Alexan- der McKaul were taken before Alderman Ogle, and ordered to find bail in nee each, for a further hear- ing, in default of which part of them were commit- ted to prison. John Wolf, Robert Bailey, James Polk, and two others, whose names we were unable to learn, were taken before Mayor Gilpin, and held in $500 bail each for a further hearing, to answer the same charge. A large quantity of goods taken from those arrested, and others, are now at the Adelphi station house. About seven o’clock yes- terday morning, an immense fire-proof safe was dis- covered in the ruins, near the doer of Messrs. Lewis & Co.’s store, in Strawberry strect. About thirty police officers attached a rope to it, and after con- siderable trouble succeeded in getting it into the street. It contained most of the valuable papers of the firm. end were red hot The Northern Liborty Lugine Company piayca upon it some time betore it became cool enough to be taken away. It was sub- sequently opened, and most of the papers, books, &c., in it, found in a state of preservation. A num- ber of the firemen were sevorely burned in carrying out the goods, and two of the members of the Phila- delphia Hore Company lost their gold watchos. The total lors by this conflagration is about one million of dollars, nearly the whole of which amount is covered by insurance. There was nothing left of the three stores last evening but the tottering walls. The Hibernia Engine Company was still upon the nes endeavoring to save those goods that might still be remaining in the ruins. Trnnere Fine at St. Barthoromnw, Wesr Ivpres.— On the 2nd instant, at about two o'clock in the morning, the people of St. Bartholomew were awakened by the thun- der of cannons, and by the toesin ringing the alarm, te learn that their little town was the prey of flames, the wind blowing at the time with such violence, that notwith- standing all endeavors, 120 houses or stores wero, in the space of four hours, laid into ashes, by which a great num- ber of people are now without shelter, and deprived of the means of support. It is impossible to give an exact account of losses, but an idea may casily be formed, considering the number of houses and stores destroyed, and the fact that most of the unfortunates enved themselves with nothing but the dress they had on, some only half clad. 8t.

Mar- shall has done the same thing; and any great mind is ready to correct an error as soon as discovered. It is quite possibile the Supreme Court may see mee reason to change their judgment in the great jaines case, should they grant the complainant a ro-hearing. But will ‘a re-hearing be granted? This question is often asked, and we presume that the Supreme Court, or any other court, will afford a re-hearing in any cause, whenever they have reason to apprehend an error in the judgment of the court.
