Nearly all the distinguished personages in Wash- ington yesterday attended the funeral of the vene- rable widow of ex-President John Q. Adams. Asa tribute of respect to the memory of the deccased, both branches of Congress adjourned over from Monday till to-day, in order to afford the members an opportunity of participating in the solemnities. Koseuth reached Albany yesterday afternoon, and was welcomed ‘o the city by the Mayor, and to the State by Governor Hunt. He was evidently labor- ing under severe illness, and was scarcely able to speak. The telegraphic despatch remarks that the procession on the occasion, “though not extensive, was brilliant.” From this it is surmised that his advent did not, by any means, cause so much ex- citement and enthusiasm as was anticipated. Five days’ later advices from Buenos Ayres an- nounce that the country was quiet, although fears were entertained that there would be trouble in Montevideo, where Oribe’s party was in the ascend- Urquiza, the new President, seemed to be daily gaining ground in the estimation of the peo- ple, aud it was supposed that the different pro- vinees would soon resolve upon a confederated form of government, similar to thet of the United States. This is the only system under which they can be expected to maintain their independence for any length of time. Several interesting items from the West India iven under the telegraphic head. The yellow fever is said to be raging with great vira- lence at Demerara. Among others, the crews of two or three British vessels had been swept of by ancy this fatal disease. Guadaloupe is overrun by incen-* diaries, who do net fail to apply the torch of des- truct whenever an opportunity offers. The crops were becoming blighted, and the eattle 1 at Antigua and St. Kitts, in con- of the severe drought. The recent uis Napoleon appear to have caused come stir in the French islands of Marti- nique and Cayenne. The censorship over the pub- lie press has caused the suspension of the two newspapers printed on the former island. In Cay- qnne a ball in honor of Louis had proved a failure; while, on the other hand, the people were preparing fi he reception of the political prisoners from France. From present appearances it is not im- pre le that the inhabitants of these islands will, at no distant day, undertake to throw off their alle- giance to the French government. The Maryland Legislature has passed a law pro- hibi cireulation of bank notes of a less de- ion than five dollars mored that the Supreme Court, at New Orleans, which has recently beon investigating the will of the late Mr. MeDonogh, has decided in favor of the cities of Baltimore and New Orleans. This cuts off the claims of the States of Maryland and Louisiana, and very likely carrice out the deeigns of the deceased.

Webater’s Diplomacy. A few days ago we published a wlegraphie do- spatch from Washington, announcing that the Pre- sident of Mexico had addressed a letter to the President of the United States, remonstrating tinst being dragooned by the threats of war into the ratification of the Tehuantepec treaty; but Pleading, at the same time, the disposition of Mexico to grant to the government of the United States the desired intet-eceanic communication across the Mexiean republic. upon the most liberal and satis- fuctory terms. ‘This information has been since corroborated, from several sourees at Washington though the question has been studiously avoided by the official organs, we are advised that the letter of Arista has produced quite a sensation in the eabinet, and among certain classes of agents, lobby members, and others, who have been fatten- ing for the last three years upon Galpbin, Chicka- saw, Florida, and Mexican claims. This fact is very curious; and, together, with certain other curious facts, will well repay a brief review of the whole subicct President Arista, in his letter to President Fill- and, in the deep anxiety and interest evineed by our go- vernment for the ratification of the Garay treaty. We thiuk so, too. The arrest of Captain Levy for daring to write a letter to Arista in favor of another project, isa mysterious thing, which cannot be ac- counted for upon the merits of the provocation to our government. There was, in that letter, no sub- stantial provocation. Levy was arrested upon a the intense solicitude of Mr. Webster tor the rights of the New Orleans company, demand some other explanation. It is also somewhat singular that Arista should address his letter directly, in his own person, to the President. The usual course, in cor- respondence between two governments, is, to con- duct it through their ministers of foreign affairs, respectively. Perhaps the alarming threats of Mr. Ietcher, and the consequent urgency of the case, induced Arista, in this instance, to deviate from the usual course. But it is equally apparent in his ap- peal that there was to him a mystery in the matter, aggravating his suspicions of foul play, and urging him to a direct demand upon the head of our go- vernment, as the ony safe and disinterested medium of redress. All this, we say, is very curious; and while we concede that Mr. Webster has been guided in this business by the most lively and comprehen- sive ideas of the purest patriotism, we can still ac- count for the sensation which the letter of Arista has excited among certain parties at Washington. And thisis the reason. The rejection of the Garay treaty ruins a magnificent speculation, upon which millions of money were to be realized, without the necessary investment of a dollar. A strong point in the appeal of Arista, as we are informed, is, that the right conceded to Mexico to ratify the Garay treaty, involves, necessarily, the right to reject it—that the treaty was submitted to the alternative of rejection, in being submitted for ratification ; and that Mexieo violates no compact, no international obligation, no individual rights, in rejecting the treaty. He, therefore, pleads that the rejection of the treaty—all parties interested having submitted themselves to the risk—lawfully puts an end to the treaty, and the grant involved in the treaty; and that our government, so far from having the right to threaten war, has no right to complain, on account of the decision of Mexico. We think it will puzzle Mr. Webster to overcome this little point of law. But Arista clinches the argu- ment, by declaring that the popular sentiment of Mexico is unanimous against the Garay grant, and that it cannot be admitted, even at the hazard of another rupture with the United States. This letter of President Arista will doubtless re- main in the hands of the President till the return of Mr. Webster to Washington. We shall have, then, some reason to expett a modification of the late belligerent instructions upon which Mr. Letcher has recently been guided, in his conferences with the Mexican government. Furthermore, abandoning the immense grant of land for colonization purposes, which was included in the Garay treaty, there will be no difficulty, we are assured, of securing the Tebuantepce right of way, with all the necessary privileges, from the Mexican government. The secret influences operating in the Mexican | capital against the Garay treaty, have yot to be dis- closed. The late revolutionary movements in some of the exterior departments, in the name of Santa | Anna, betray the hand of that arch intriguer in the game. How far he may be financially implicated in the contingent profits of the Garay grant, is, of interested to divulge. But it is highly probable } thas suspicions of Santa Anna actuated, to some | extent, the government of Arista in rejecting the treaty. We have not a doubt, however, that the controlling power at the bottom was the power of the clergy, against this grant of a tract of land, sixty miles wide, across the Mexican republic, for purposes of American colonization. The clergy of Mexico are the supreme power of the country. They hold the bulk of the real estate of the country, and their spiritual control over all classes is absolute and almost unlimited. The introduction of a settlement of Americans, with their notions of religious free- dom, along the Tehuantepec route, would be but planting another Texas on the South flank of poor Mexico—a colony which would be dangerous to the despotism of the priesthood throughout the republic. And it is this single consideration which | makes the risk of war preferable, with the Mexican government, to the introduction of a settlement of “Yankees” within the limits of the republic, from | one ocean to the other. Our institutions are op- | posed to priestly despotism ; and while the latter is supreme in Mexico, it is natural that colonization | there by citizens of the United States should be re- sisted as far as possible. We come now to the remarkable diplomacy of Mr. Webster in Mexico and in Central America, and the humiliating contrast between the policy pursued in the one quarter, and that purewed in the other. In Mexico, Mr. Letcher is instructed to threaten war, unless a certain treaty is ratified after it has been rejected; and the government organs in the United States echo the threat. But, alus! Mexico is weak, and may be bullied with impunity. Utterly hclpless, she may, perbaps, be frightened into sab- mission to our demanda, just or unjust. On the ether hand, British power is supreme in Central America—and there, British agents outrage the sovereignty of States which we are bound to pro- tect; they insult our national flag, they compel our merchant sbips to pay tribute to the Mosquito King, in violation of treaty stipulations—in the teeth of the Clayton treaty, and under instructions from our cabinet, that tribute is paid to this day; and still Mr. Webster bows submissively and obsequi- ously to Britith impudence and British dictation. The agents and naval commanders of England have | openly violated the Clayton treaty; they have com- pelled Mr. Webster to sanction their outrages ; | and they now have him quietly agreeing to negotiate anew treaty upon the rights and juris. diction of States over which England has no more right to negotiate than the Emperor of Russi But we must remember that England is strong, and, if driven to war, ie apt tofight. It is policy to | bully Mexico; but, whatever her outrages and in fults, we must conciliate the power of England. Such is the wretched, cringing, miserable diplo- macy of Mr. Webster! Such are the results of a little moral courage, without which the want of greatest intellect is the most easily duped, and humbugged, and victimized. We trust the arrived for the on of a better state of We eh introdue- I watch time has thing result of th y tions for the settlement of the do- tates of Contral America, with interest for the with Mr Crampton, mestic affairs of the in whieh Mr. Crampton, as the British minister, hag | no business to interfere, But, with more immediate Interest, we shail wai for the final action ef the Latest Dis- more, says, that there is something very mysterious | pretence; and the flimsiness of the pretence, and | course, dependent upon the discretion of the parties | , cabinet upon the Tehrantepec difficulty.

Those who fail owe their failure mainly to the fact that their books are not such as the public wants, There are exceptions, of course. as there are in every branch of business; but, as a rule, this is true, How well the Times is ‘‘posted” we will see.

His works are such as could have been undertaken with any prospects of success, only by a man of li- beral resources, and we are inclined to believe that his collection of manuscripts alone cost more than all he has received from the Harpers. Morse, Da- vies and Anthon have prepared and published suc- cessful school books, which have as little right to be called “literature” as auctioncers’ catalogues or the | city directory. Albert Barnes has been for nearly thirty years one of the most industrious men in this country—in all seasons rising before the break of day, and ‘poring over miserable books” till after | midnight—and he has finally, within a few weeks, | completed his very learned, elaborate and extensive Commentary on the Holy Seriptures. How much his books and other appliances have cost him, we cannot say, but probably ten thousand dollars, which would leave something like half the annual salary of one of the HeraLp reporters. The works | of Albert Barnes have passed through numerous editions abroad, and at this moment, we are in- formed five rival pulifisHers in Great Britain are deriving good incomes fidém them; but the author hus not, from either, even the grace of a copy, that { he may see whether he is correctly reproduced. If | John L. Stephens has received over $40,000, it is by no means a liberal return for tha money he in- vested in his popular series of travelf, which at one time attracted so much attention. To say nothing of the expenses of his journeys through northern Europe, Asia, and Africa, his corps of draughtsmen and wen of science, while in Central America, must | have cost hima very large sum. We doubt whether he has received, up to this day, three per cent. per | annum for the money spent in the researches for | his works, and in their preparation. The two Abbotts are set down as having been paid in twenty years $15,000; they have written as many as fifty ordinary popularity of one of these, ‘Tho Young Christian,” will not think us out of the way in estimating the booksellers’ profits on that alone at as much a2 the entire sum the two authors are said to have received for their joint copyrights. We have the best authority for stating that Mr. Mitchell's (Ik Marvel’s) receipts have been less than half the amount stated in the Ziimes; but he has un- doubtedly been thus far fortumate. The success of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” by Mrs. Stowe, is not due to its literary character, or to any disposition of the publie to reward literary excellence. She pandered to the abolition fanaticism, and has been paid for such prostitution of her talents—such as they are. In the cases of British authors, we believe the Times is just as wide of the mark. Macaulay's History has been but moderately successful in England; that is, the sales of the published volumes have not been there what in this country would be called large. Of the immense profits obtained from his work by American booksellera, he has recoivod the astonishing sum of five hundred dollars—or his publishers obtained so much for an basis copy of it | to be reprinted here.

Breage ve or Newport as A WATERING PLAce, —A great deal of noise aud commotion has been stirred up in Newport, and Rhode Isiand generally, in consequenee of the dread entertained there that the | Maine Liquor law, Which has recently paseed their” Legislature, will preveut fashionable people from resorting to that eelebrated watering place, on ac- count of the want of comfort to be found thera, grow- ing out of that silly law. Some of the journals in thet pocket edition of a State seem to be very saucy and impertinent about it, and declare that there will be plenty of liquids of all deseriptions thero, in spite of the law. The Newport News has the fol- lowing :— Wo notice by the New York papers that those who are interested iv the prorperity of Saratoga and other water- ing places. are making strenuous efforts, by advertise micats, editorials, &e.. to injure Newport, by making strong representations as to the result of the pamage of the Maine law by the General Assembly of this Siute. Thee representations are false. and are made for selfieh purposes We have ussurcd the public that all visiters at wport. this eummer, ewn have just as much liquor as ney devise: and’ withoul he ligheea’ teonbiece oson: \enence, Sueh is the fuct—let thein come and try the matt This statement is not only utterly and unblush- ingly false, but it is illegal, immoral, revolutionary, disgraceful, absurd, and vilo in the highest degree. Having passed the Maiue Liquor law in that State, | they must, like good citizens, obey its behests, however much it may injure their watering places, | ' and drive away the fashionable people who have here- | tofore spent the summer there. A great contest to | carry ie Maine Liquor law into effect will take placo | in Rbode Island, and it will be impossible for a few | hotel keepers, or baggage masters, or waiters, to nullify the law of the State of Rhode Island, which the whole people are determined shall be carried into execution. We believe, also, that the enact- ment of the law was meant in good earnest, and intended by the teetotal philosophers of Rhode Island to break up Newport entirely as a watering place, on account of the sins, immorality, and gambling, introduced into the State by these assem- bluges. All those who have been in the habit of visiting Newport during the summer season, and | who wish to enjoy themselves without excitement or trouble, will, of course, avoid that place entirely, under the present state of the local laws, particular- ly while there are so many facilities, and so much more attention paid to their comfort, at Saratoga, | the White Mountains, Lebanon Springs, the sea shore of Long Island or New Jersey, or anywhere along the Connecticut shore. The fashionable people who visit the watering places or mountains during the summer season, are generally hostile to sumptuary laws of every description. They will not, therefore, patronise Rhode Island, in order to mark with their reprobation the policy which has prevailed in that | unhappy State, and which will undoubtedly make | Newport a desert during the ensuing summer. We | may regret the destiny which awaits the splendid hotels in Newport, but there is no help for them. If the Legislature will pass such laws, they must make up their minds to meet the consequences of tectotalism, which is folly triumphant. IrrisoNMENT oF CoLoRED SEAMEN—SovrTH CaR- OLINA AND TRE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.—We are ad- vised by a private correspondent in Charleston, that the Court sitting at Columbia, the State capital, has refused to hear the appeal of Manuel Pereira, a colored sailor of the Brirish brig Jansen, driven in by distress, and broken up. Pereira is now in jail in Charleston, and the hearing of his case has been postponed to January, 1853, in that city. The im- prisonment of Pereira is under a police regulation of South Carolina, by which free colored seamen of any vessel arriving in her ports are taken up and lodged in jail, till the vessel sails again. The object is to prevent abolition incendiaries, in the disguise of colored seamen, from tampering with the slaves, and inciting them to revolt, or escape from their mas- ters’ service. This regulation involves a constitu? tional and an international question of diecussion, which has heen agitated pretty thoroughly, both by the politicians of Massachusetts, and by her Britannic Majesty’s Consul at Charleston, Mr. Mathew. In this instance, from the deference of Mr. Webster to the suggestions of the British go- vernment, we should not be surprised if his atten- tion were specially called to the subject, notwith- standing that the jurisidiction over the caso is in the State of South Carolina. Inrortant From Sr. Dominco.—We have received a private letter, dated St. Domingo, April 21, stating that inthe brig Arthur Leary, arrived the other day at Boston, Col. T. 8. Heniker, representative in the Congress of the Dominican republic, had sailed for the United States, hia destination being the city of Washington, on an important political mission. Dominica, our readers will remember, constitutes the eastern and larger section of the island of Hayti. It was originally a Spanish colony, | but is now a republic. The western end of the | island, almost as large as New Jersey, is tho re- doubtable empire of Hayti, over which the negro Soulouque has been lately crowned the Emperor. Soulouque is ambitious of the whole island; and | though he has been thus fur successfully held back, | his designs aro still suspected, as well as the policy | of England and France. We presume the mission | of Col Heniker has reference to these relations he- | tween the black empire and the white republic. | Here is another nice little piece of work for Mr. Webster. The Dominicans are entitled to our pro- tection. Will they receive it? Tue Paxasta Rarexoap.—One of the passengers, Mr. | 8.1.

ACCOUNT OF THE VESSEL—HER DECKS, GUNS, POWDER MAGAZINES, OFFICERS, AND CREW. ‘Tho Prince of Orange lays off the Battery, and crowds are attracted thither to seo and admire her size and gene- ral proportions, ‘Among others, we received a card of invitation, politely forwarded by Mr. Zimmerman, the Consul General of the Netheriands, to ensure our admittance,on board this Deautiful frigate, Upon reaching the upper deck we were courteously ercorted over itby the gallent officer on duty. With the exception of a small quarter deck, the upper deck, 3 well as the lower, presents an unbroken walk incd on each side with guns—thirly-two pounders, and capable ef carrying a ball upwards of two thousand yards. ‘They arefired by pereussion caps, by means of a brass hammer attached to a cord in the seaman’s hand, The advantage of this plan over the old system in cer. tainty of explosion and resistance to damp, is obvious, At the after part of the upper deck, and under the quarter deck, are deposited an immonse number of pis- tols, cutlasses, boarding pikes, and other small arms, rang ed round the sidesin the form of stars and other devices; and we noticed two fine guns mounted like field pieces, Which could be brought to bear on any desired point with facility. Accompanied by Midshipman Dinaux, whose courtesy and attention, and desire to afford every information, deserve especial acknowledgment, we de- scended to the second deck. Like the first, it was lined with thirty-two pounders, and some guns of a greater calibre than those on the first deck, and also fired by percussion caps. Contiguous to these guns were balls, grape ehot, powder charges in differently colored bags, varying in weight, cutlasses, bayonets—all ready for immediate uso, and in admirable order. From the main and fore parts of this deck are suspended, at night, the hammocks of the men; down the centre are placed the clothes store; and on each side are ranged seats and eon- v nicnces for “messing.”” The cooking apparatus in the fore part is on an extensive scale, and the extreme clean- liness that pervades the whole is most striking. We ob- served, also, a echool, comprising about a dozen boys, at a desk, hard at work with their slates and pencils. Upon going uft, we entered the mid+hipmen’s room, in which | some half a dozen * middies”’ were seated at a table. en- joying the true life of a “ middy,” according to Captain Marryat’s notion, and passed into the officers room, which was well furnished; and having exchanged eourte- ties with some of these gatlant gentlemen, we proceeded into the cuptain’s cabin, a unique little apartment, ele- guntly fitted up with all the adjuncts and comforts of a drawing room—sofas, tables, chairs, mirrors, carpets, &e., anda portrait of the previous captain, These cabins were divided by partitions, which, in action, are removed, 80 a8 to afford an uninterrupted line; the guns in the captain's cubin were puinted in imitation of white porcelain, We now descended to the third deck, still attended by the courteous and gallant Mr. Dinaux, who left nothing un- explained. There were no guns on this deck, the fore part of which was appropriated to a hospital (in which: we observed one man) anda medicine room, which was replete with all the materials of a regular city drug store, labelled and fixtured; behind this, and further ahead, was the stowage room, which contained a good assort- ment of books—religious, scientific, medical, and general educational. This deck was also strung with haminecks, and the sides ined with small arms, and abounded in departments containing balls, grape shot, chain shot, canister shot, powder bags of various colors and weights and grappling irons in nvfierous varieties, fishing hooks, nails, and carpenter's tools, all in “apple pic or- der,” and ready for use at moment's notico Under the fore part of this deck was the chief powder magazine, containing some thousands of pounds of powder, and which is entirely under water, #0 that no shot from an enemy could possi- bly reach it, as shots always glide upwards upon striking the surface of the water; and it is also surrounded by the sail rooms as a further preventive against tho pone- tration of shot, Over this magazine is ‘posted « sentinel day and night, to prevent the approach of lights or fire, or iron or steel “implements. A ittle further aft, and adjacent to this magazine, and also beneath this deck, are immense iron fresh water reservoirs, capable of containing an ample supply of water for 500 men for the space of 100 days. In the main part of this deck is erected a brass fire-engine, with hose of va- rious lengths and sizes; and adjacent, on the opposite side, is a water cock, which, when turned, emits eea-water to an extent capable of sinking the ship to any degree, and thereby extinguishing fire. Higher up is gigantic en- gine and a series of pumps and conduit pipes for the pumping up and ejection of water from the ship, Continuing our course aft along this deck, which underneath was crammed with stores of provisions and liquors, and keeping to the righ; hand, we came to the spirituous liquor department, well filled with casks, duly marked, and which would have done honor to any city liquor store, and drank our cour- teous attendant’s gin, Upon coming out of this model “gin palace,” we came in contact with a long iron beam, several inchos in thickness, which was attoened to the helm, and was the means of its movements by the operations of the wheel above, A little further on, and under ua, was another powder magazine, guarded like the former by a sentinel. Adjacent was a jong row of large tin canisters, contain- 4g bomb hells, all marked and ready for immediate use, and adapted to cvery variation of distance; nor should we omit to notice several coils of cable, of ten or twelve inches in thickness, We now re-ascended to the frst dcck, The officers, attired in blue frock coats with gold epauletes and naval blue caps, with gold band. were pacing the deck, and the men, of whom we did not observe more than a hundred, were variously em- Hloyed, in “scouring” up and in fixing the rigging. They were attired in blue jeckets, while trowsers, black sailor's hats, and are fine, noble looking. fello’ ‘the P. of O. is a rapid sniler, about the size of one of the Collins steamers, and is admitted to be one of the finest ships inthe Dutch navy, Her comple- ment is four hundred and elhty-two men, and she exe sixtyguns We have already published a list of her gal- lant cficers ; and we must here express our sense of the courtceus demeanor and attention which they exhibited?
