The whole proceedings—show- | ing, as they do, tho strength of the bitter opponents | of our syatein of government—are very curious and important just at this time. Oar special Washington correspondent states that arumor wag current last evening that the bre: between Mesers. Fillmore and Webster had deen ecmented. Whether this be so or not, it is very certain that the President cannot afford to lose the | services of his Secretary in the present crisis. The fisbery affair, which is really assuming a very omi- nous shape, and the guano difliculsy with Pora, are | matvere that require all the diplomacy of which | Mr. Webster is master, to bring them to an amicable adjustment. Both branches of, Con gress seem 40 be rather rnfiled at the recent pro- evedings of Great Britain—the House Committee on commerce, it is said, are delaying to report a moa- sure for reciprocal trade, which has been matured. Senators are freely descanting on the consequences of an appeal to arms, and to-day we may expect to have a strong speech from Senator Soule on the subject; #0 that, viewing all things, it is, perhaps, better that Secretary Webster should be retained. The President, after consultation with the At- torncy General, has pardoned Drayton aud Sayres, who, two years ago, were convicted and senteuced to fifty years imprisonment, for attempting to ran off fifty slaves in the schooner Pearl The United States Senate, yesterday, refused to strike from the rules the proviso preventing the in- troduction of private claims lito the appropriation bills. After the transaction of some other prelimi- nary business, of no special interest, the Indian Ap- propriation bill was taken up in committeo, several amendments were acted upon, and then the matter was reported to the House. In the House of Representatives, after the pre- sentation of petitions asking for the passage of mea- sures for the betteraafety of the lives of passengers on steamboats, and a discussion on the fees and eocts allowed to judicial officers, the body went into Committee on the General Appropriation bill. Awong the amendments agreed to was one giving additional salaries of twenty per cent to all tho Exceutive and Legislative employees who do not receive over $1,200 por annum—provided said em- Ployees do not fill two situations, or are not engag- ed in prosecuting claims against the government. This deepatch of business on the part of the Senate and House indicates that the members are striving to get through with the work before the day of ad- journment arrives. From the Briti provinces we learn that the U.S. frigate Mississippi arrived at St. Jobn, N. B, last Saturday. It was presumed that Com. Perry would meet Vice Admirul Seymour at Halifax. The St. John papers express the belief that when the Commodore ascertains the true nature of the fishery controversy, he will be fully im- preseed with the fact, that all the protection he can afford the American fishermen, will be to advise them to keep within the strict letter of the treaty. Aye, “the letter of the treaty’—that is what has caused all the trou- bie. Our provincial neighbors understand it to mean one thing, and our Yankee fishermen another. Minieter Crampton, who appears to have had doubts with regard to the interpretation of the treaty, ordered Admiral Seymour to suspend further cap- tures, and for this he is strongly denounced by the St. John papers, and his recall demanded. Our pro. vincial friends are very desirous of obtaining reci- procity in trade; but from their present policy, they are not likely to accomplish their purpose in some time, unless they do it w the Portngucse, who have made them a very magnanimons offer to rpeal the duties on British fish, if they are allowed to catch and cure fish on the banks of Newfoundland. The treatment of our fishermen by the British officers, as detailed in a despatch from Boston, if true. warrants us in expecting to hearof come warm work in that quarter shortly. The Yankees will not tamely submit to unnecessary insult. Commodore Perry will doubtless attend to this, and, if possible, prevent our fishermen from causing a general rup- ture between the two governments. Judge Nelson has ordered that the Kaine extra- dition care shall be heard before all the justices of the Supreme Court, in bauk, at the commencement of the next term.

And who can ever forget tho abure which was heaped upon Mr. Webster, by the leading whig journals of New York and Boston, in that day; or that eolean occasion, when “solitary and al the Sceretary of State stood up in Faneuil See whig party, “Where amI to go?” Who does pot re- | colle th pity and shame, the desperate straits and sbifts of Captain Tyler's office-holders, to hold on to the flesh pots of the treasury as the last sands of his administration were running out—how they got up an independent National Tylor Convention at Baltimore, on the same day with the Democratic Convention; and how they finally, bag and baggage, in the hottest of the dog-days, went over to Mr. Polk, and how they were all turned out for their pains, as soon as be came into power ? Ah! that was an eventful administration, that of Captain Tyler—and so very peculiar, so unique, 20 amusing, so funny, so astonishing, and £0 exceedingly ludierous—so unlike any- thing that had ever before transpired, ‘in the heavens or in the i in the waters under the | earth’ — that no mor an ever dreamed of look- ing upon the like again. It marked an epoch, like thé day when Joshua commanded the sun and moon to stand etill, or like the South Sea bubble, or the removal! of the deposits, or the Buffalo platform of Von Buren, in 1848. It was something so unusual and astounding, from beginning to end, that it was thought to be utterly impossible that anything like it, in any respect, could ever happen any more. But strange, unique, and remarkable, as was the model administration of Captain John Tyler, (may he live a thousand years,) the present administra- tion furnishes many strong points of resemblance. Gen. Harrison died, and his whole cabinet and the whole whig party tumbled to pieces, excepting Mr. Webster. Gen. Taylor died, and his entire cabinet were turned adrift, and Mr. Webster was re-called to the State Dopartment. Mr. Webster was alike indis- pensable to Tyler and Fillmore, and has quarrelled with both; and if he left the one in disgust, he is going to leave the other in arage. In the first case he knew not where to go; and it isso in the second. Again, as regards the office holders, we find them, under the present administratiun, as industriously bargaining and peddling to make themselves all snug as in the palmiest days of Captain Tyler. Here and there an expert fellow sucecedsin creeping into the Jong gown of a judge—others are transferred to missions abroad, so that even if recalled noxt March, they will get the outfit andthe infit. But, more than all, they who were the humblest toadies of the President, or of Mr. Webster, before the Baltimore Convention, are now among the most officious toadies of Gen Scott. We have no means of knowing Mr. Webster’s present opinion of tho political consistency of Moses H. Grinnell or Si- meon Draper; but the President can hardly fail to be amused at the flexibility of that India rubber politician, James Brooks. And yet this samo time- serving political huckster is mentioned as likely to be rewarded for his fidelity to the administration, with the office of Postmaster Genoral. This is one sample of tbe revival of the desperate expedients of the office-holders under Tyler, to screw out of the last few months of the President’s term of office as much of the public plunder as possible. It is to be hoped that the Senate of the United States will rebuke this system of bargaining and corruption, ia manner not to be misun- derstood, when such unprincipled politieal toadios as James Brooks are brought before them for confirmation to cabinet offices or foreign mis- sions. The suttlers of the camp are left to their vo- cation, as long as other men, more available, aro to be had to fill accruing vacancies either in the staff or Jin of the army ; and this, in all cases, should be the policy of the government. The precedents of Tyler’s administration ought not to be admitted by the Senate as sufficient justification of similarimpo- sitions upon Mr. Fillmore. We desire to do no injustice to John Tyler. It is but fair, therefore, to disavow any resemblance be- tween his cnd the present administration, including the cabinet of Gen. Taylor, on the score of Galphin- iem and Gardinerism. Tere, fortunately for the | treasury, but upfortunately for their own credit, the cabinet of Old Zack, and the cabinet of Mr. Fillmoro, are without a precedent or parallel in American history. Swartwout, and the Boyds, and tho Har- rises, of Van Buren’s time, sink into mere sixpenny defaulters, contrasted with the sublime swindling of the Galphins, the Gardiners, and other Mexican, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Florida claims, of the last four years, counting up by hundreds of thousands, and even by millions at a single haul. In the most enormous of all these monstrous drafts upon the public treasury, cabinet officers have been parties in the business, and stand charged with pocketing tho lion's share of the plun- der. Old Zack was an honest old man; but he was tricked, duped, swindled and ruined by the rogues who surrounded him. Mr. Fillmore is an amiablo Christian, but a feeble man; and hence, in spite of all his honest endeavors to do right, he has neither suc- coeded in putting a stop to Galphinism and Gardi- nerism, nor in bringing the offenders to justice. Contrasted with this bad luck, in respect to the gangs of busy leeches that have sucked the vitals out of his administration, how truly fortunate was Captain John Tyler. He kept « clean set of books, clean of all Gardincrism and Galphinism, the most abominable system of corruption of which the go- Yerument has ever had the misfortune to be the vio- tim. He retired with his public accounts satisfic- torily settled; and having saved, at least, fifty thoa- Sand dollars of his salary, and having married a young, blooming, rich, handsome and accomplished | Wife, and having bought @ splendid plantation on | James river, amid the venerated localities of Captain Jobn Smith and Pocat ontas, he retired with dignity and decorum to the shades of private life. Happy, happy John Tyler. May his shadow never be less. Happy will be President Fillmore if he roticos upon | half the luck of his lucky predecessor. Lucky, | lucky Captain Tyler ! But where is Mr. Webster to go a ‘ The main etaff | pery demagogues, who were the toadies of Fillmore | | they may. in their judgment, think way that hecan; but where is Mr. Webster to go? We can answer the question. It is answered by Mr. Clay, Mr. Calhoun, J. Q Adams, and in this last election in Missouri, by Thomas H. Benton. Let Mr. Webster return to Congress—he may easily get back to the Senate. There, standing like Honry Clay, upon the broad platform of the Union and the constitution, above all parties, and independent of any party, he may, like the great Kentuckian, ex- | ercise an influence greater than that of Gon. Scott or Gen, Pierce, in the White House, in giving shape and direction to the policy of the government. | We deubt not that the election of Colonel Bon- | ton to the House of Representatives will prove to be of tho highest importance to the country, And Congress is also the proper arena for the | preeminent abilities of Mr. Webster. There is no necessity for him now, as inthe time of John | Tyler, to go about the country asking ‘* Where am | to go?” Let him go back to the Senate or House, | and vindicate to the end that most glorious title of the ‘* Defender of the Constitution.” Tn conclusion, President Fillmore has yet tine enough to retrieve much that he has lost from tho amiable impctency which has marked his conduct of | affairs. If he would retire with any dogree of the | credit of Jchn Tyler, Jet him stand firm upon the fishery question, and the guano question, and the | Central American question; and if he is disposed to be generous, let him exercise the virtue in some liberal and satisfactory arrangement of the Tehuan- | tepee question with Mexico. Let him bring the | Gardiner and Galphin recipients to judgment at all | hazards; but let him see to it, also, that these slips | | or Webster yesterday, but who are now the most fulsome toadies of Gen. Scott, get no moro ofiices. | They do not deserve them. Finally, let the Senate, | in this gambling for the last of the spoils of this whig régime, take care that the treasury is se- | eured, and that the public interests are not sacrificed to trading place-hunters, intent only upon the pub- lie plunder. Let all this be done, and this admi- nistration may yet retire with a reputation second only to that of John Tyler. PourticaL Moyesents is The Crry—Tira Pru- many Exectrons.—One of the two partios— he democratic—is beginning to move in reference to tke next elections, and have already taken some steps {0 that end, in making arrangements for the holding of what is called primary elections, in this city, for the nomination of candidates of all kinds. Accord- ing to a very calm statement, which we publish in another column, the movement thus far among the democrats, in this direction, manifests a great division and discordance among the elements, and the revi- yal of the contests and quarrels which have hereto- fore distinguished the conduet of the barnburners and huvkers of Tammany Hall. It is very evident that the barnburner sect'on, which is represented by the Post and Benjamin F’. Butler, has determined, under show of supporting Pierce and King and the Baltimore platform, to recover their lost ascendancy in this city and State, and to have at their disposal, if possible, all the ‘loaves and fishes” of office. This is the only explanation which can be given of these first attempts to regulate and manage tho primary elections, on which hang all the subsequent movements, nominations, results, and distribution of spoils. The conservative demcerats, however, who have always maintained the truc constitutional ground, approved of by the Southorn States, are de- termined not to be swamped by the anti-slavery re- creants and renegades of 1848, who have now, be- cause they feel hungry, resolved to come back tothe party, cry out for Pierce and King, and help them- selves to all the places of honor and profit in the ap- proaching movement. The interest of the gencral and special election of next November is therefore beginning to show itself in all directions throughout the city. The democrats are first in the field; but we have no doubt that the whigs, as soon as they shall havo commenced operations, will find themselves in tho same condition of disturbance and division, arising from similar causes. There is a conservative section of the whigs who approve of #h party platform agreed on at Baltimore; and there is, also, an anti- slavery section, “who spit upon and execrate” the platform, and who wish, under the name of Goneral Scott, to advance the fortunes of William H. Seward, and all the anti-slavery whigs throughout this city and State. In managing the Presidential ‘| elections, both parties, therefore, will no doubt re- sort to all the modes and systems wherewith these primary elections are conducted and controlled, and the nominations measured out to the simple people of this fcity, merely for their approval and votes. The great object with both parties, in transacting such business, is the vast numbers of bullies and blackguards distributed over the wards, who, for money and rum, will undertake to pack these primary meetings, and return such men as are designated to them, and control the no- minations through the city, excluding the influence of all the good, great and wiso of both parties. Probably, in the coming clections, a mil- lion of dollars may he expended on these rowdies and vagabonds by leading men, both whigs and democrats, who have to resort to this method to nominate and put forward the different cliques and candidates eager for office. This system, pursued by both parties, is equally corrupt and detestable; but yet there is no courage, no public spirit, no patriotism in the rost of the community, to prompt them to come forward and adopt some countervailing plan, or to correct the evil whereby all our nominations are managed | by the rowdies, and paid for by tho money of the | candidates. Thore is no hopo, however, of any remedy at this time, as both parties, in the at and close contest for the Presidency, wiil endeavor to avail themselves of the rowdies of all kinds, in order to settle the match, or gain a few votes from their antagonists. It is a deplorable system, and | its very excess of corruption must work its amend- ment in duc process of time.

Boston, August 11, 1552. The Gloucester Telegraph, of this morning. contains the following information from the fishing grounds :— There kave been two or three arrivals from the Bay of St Lawrence, and we gather the following information respecting affairs in that quarter:—Captain Rogers. of ihe schooner ©, & N Rogers, informe us that he was in the Bay of Chaleur, where be was boarded by an offives feom the eteamebip Devastation, and ordered out of the bay It was Sunday. and there were about twenty vessels in com: pavy—scme of them had made a harbor for the purpose of passing the Sabbath at anchor. as many of the fisher mep are in the habit of doing, but they were ail orderma to get under weigh and proceed out of the bay icmedt- ately ‘The officer who bosrded the © & N, Rogers was demned of men, angels and spirits—corroboratiag, and giving more in detail, the announcomeat of the fracas which took place in the dining room of the Ocean House a few days since. We refer our readers to this despatch from the seat of war, which is to be found in another portion of our columus ‘The combatants were a hot-blooded, hungry South- erver, backed by most of the humbugzed and op pressed guests of the house on the one side, and the whole grinning array of Ethiopian waiters oa the other. The casus belli was that which we have ro cently had occasion to denounce in the management of these fashionable watering place hotels, namely, an inadequate supply of provender for the boarders, and a conspiracy among the ebony officials to exact black mail on a famine tariif, or mercilessly give over the recusants to all the hor rors of starvation—even while, Tantalu:-like, they saw, almost within their reach, as much, at all events, as would satisfy the cravings of nature. _ Perhaps the determined stand made by the Southerner, in defence of his rights, will rally to the rescue all those who have hitherto tamely submit- ted to the impositions practised upon them in the fashionable hotels of Newport and Saratoga. If thoy have pluck enough to push forward the advantage they have thus gained, we will cheer them on in the struggle; but, even should they play the recreant’s part, we will not cease to wage war against such a system of villaoy and fraud, until each of these guilty proprietors shall be forced to succumb, and penitently ery peccavi. In the meantime, however, and while tho issue of the contest hangs in the balance, we would warn all persons to keep aloof from the seat of disturbance. Lot such as wish to spend a few weoks with plea- sure, comfort and advantage to health, and who havo no desire to change in the calendar the season of Lent, go to Fort Hamilton, or Brigh‘on Pavilion, both of which are within an hour’s steaming of New York. Or if they wish to addto these inducements that ofcheapness, spiritualism, and the platonie love of Fourierite Bloomers, let them take a trip down to Keyport, in the steamer John Hart, and a stage from thence to the North American Phalanx, and there, according to our correspondent, they will be treated “as members of the family,”’ and meet with sucha welcome from the pious men and beautiful houris who inhabit that paradise, that they will proloog their stay to the very last moment, and take their leave of it with a sigh, if, indeed, they can have the moral courage to tear themselves away from such delightful company. Tax Great CaLamiry on THE Noutn River.— There never has happened an occurrence demanding amore prompt and determined action on the part of those who are authorized to prosecute and punish public criminals, than the terrible catastrophe of the Henry Clay, by which scores of precious lives ‘were sacrificed to insane pride, avarice, and care- leesness. And yet a fortnight has elapsed since tho dreadful occurrence, and no decisive steps have been taken to bring the guilty parties to trial and punish- ment. Thecriminal authorities are culpably tardy, both in this city and Westchester, so that, indeed, we begin to havo little or no confidence in the ef- ficiency and public spirit of any of our public officers, or in their intention of having punishment inflicted on those connected with the Henry Clay disaster, occasioned as it was by the carelessness, amounting to recklessness, of the owners, captain, engineer, firemen, barkeeper, and others. Mr. Blunt, the District Attorney of this city, at the very first chance, put forward a special plea, exempting bimeelf, according to the statnte, from the right of noticing the matter at all. Mr. Hall, the United States District Attorney, bustled a little in the matter, but we have no confidence that he will pursue it up to the point of conviction and pun- ishment. Even Mr. Wells, the District Attorney of Westchester, puts forth special pleas justifying delay, on this account.and on that account, until ench time as the horrible affair may be entirely forgotten by the public in some new excitement o¢ | the day. Neither we do we expect that Congress will enact a law, of any degreo of efficiency, pro- viding against the recklessnoss of captains or engi- neers. Tke truth of this matter is this: Both railroads and steamboats in every part of this country, exer- cise, throngh their managers and owners, an amount of influence for more active and potent than any mere abstract idea of public indigna- tion that may grow out of euch startling disasters, It is the interest of these railroad and steamboat proprietors and managers, to prevent the execution of all laws intended to prevent recklessness of con- duct in those haying chargo of such modos of con- veyance, and to obstruct the passage, by Congress, of any new Jaw imposing additional penalties on such disregard of safety hereafter. The amount of these combined influcnces is too powerful to be re- | sisted; and no doubt, therefore, that the district attorne; gresemen, oiiblie pr. secutors, coroners, and con: Mall, after a few feoble efforts, appar ently in the direction of justice, quietly cease all their exertions, and permit the whole matter to fall into oblivion, and be thrown over, just as every ac- nature has i ota en heretofore Safety of Capt. Marcy. Tho following isan extract from a letter of an of- ficer of the United States Army, stationed at Fort Gibson, Arkansas, dated 23d ult , and received to- day (11th of Avgust,) relative to Capt. Marcy: — TwoP.M anes bgt ad eta ge Capt. peau it am ex] 0 Brazow #0 We may conclu | arg ported, we can hear I that you may have a chance of communicating this biful news to Mrs Marcy.

Tue Sixtn Avenve Rannoan.—Tho regular running of the Sixth Avenue Railroad passenger cars, was com- menced yesterday. The cars were well filled every trip, and if the first day.s business be a fair specimen of what is to follow, there cannot be a doubt of the success of the enterprize. The cars run smoothly, and the new fashioned rail used first on this 10ad proves to answer extremely well the Fh as for which it was designed. It forms no obstruction to vehicles crossing the track. and if per- chance a cart or wagon wheel. going along the line of the railroad. runs in the ve, the construction of thesrail is such that the wheel can be at once turned from it with- out the slightest danger of injury to the tire or fellies. ‘The road at present terminates on the Sixth avenuo, near Forty-third street, within a stone's throw of the dis- tributing reservoir, and just opposite to Reservoir Square. whe.@ the Crystal Palace is to be constructed. Tne depot and car houses. which are now hemes 1 occupy the entire front on the Sixth avenue. between Forty-second and Forty-tbird streets. and extend back about one hun- dred avd bes 4 feet towards the Fifth avenue, The nd here is very high and the passengers depot will be sur- rounded by abuleony from which an extended view can be had of the surrounding country and city, with both the East ond North rivers. and the shores of Long Island and New Jersey. Since the road has advanced near com- pletion, several heavy capitalists havo offered a large pre- mium for the stock. provided they could purchase an amount which would give them a controling interest. These overtures have. however, been rejected ; the pres ent proprietors let Med they do not want to sell, but if they do part with the stock it must be distribute they would profer selling to persons who reside on ¢ of the read.
