The sovere slorm of Saturday night—a fall ac- eount of which is elsewhere given—having rendered mort of the telegraphic lines unavailable as medi- ums of intelligence, our despatches are necessarily very brief this morning. Fortanately, however, the Morse Seuthern line withstood the gale, and thereby enables us to furnish a rather interesting snummary of aflairs ia Washington, as detailed by our spe is said that Dr Gardine, hi ered into an agreement with the committee appointed by the Senate to investigate his onze, to proceed te Mexico, with two trustworthy witnesses, to be selected by the latter body, point out the miwes be claims to have owned, and prove his title thereto. Should this be done, it will of course zettle the whole controversy with regard to that partievlar claim; but then there are several other @oubtful claims that may not be so easily disposed of, and more particularly the suspicions of Galphin- iem econvected therewith. Aoserding to our correspondent, it is likely that tho Congressions! Committee of Conference will re- port in favor of the Honse coneurricg in the Sonate’s amendments to the Civil and Diplomatie bill. Bloeuld the House agree to the report, our represen- tative to China will be raised to a fall Minister, with salary and outfit of eighteen thousand dollars; aud, in that case, the question arises whether the Hen. Humphrey Marshall, who resigned his seat in the House, and has been confirmed as Commissioner, will be allowed to fill the post. With regard to this matter, the const ion of the United States ex- plicitly that—“No senator or representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States, which shall have been created, orthe emoluments whereofshall have been increased, duxing euch time.” tn addision to mentioning what will probably be Gene with the Land Distribution, Naval Appropria- tion, and French Spoliation bills, our correspon- @ent remarks that a resolution calling upon Mexico to fulfil ber stipulations concerning the Garay grant, will be offered in the Senate’s executive session to- day. It is understood that a majority of Senators aie determined to sustain Mr. Webster in this matter, in which case Mexico must either back out or prepare for the consequences. Postmaster Hall is said to be anxiously waiting for the Senate to confirm bis nowination as Judge of the Northern District of this State. Ex-Senator Simmons, of Rhode Island, is now spoken of as Mr. H ’s succes sor in the Post Office Department. Some idea may be formed of the strength of the We r feeling in the South, by reading the com- munication from one of our Wilmington subscribers, together with the extracts from North Carolina and Georgia journals. Whigs in that region are evi- cently enrolling themselves under the Webster standard in great numbers. Our Boston letter also contains political intelligence of a somewhat curious character. By a despatch from Baltimore, we learn that the iron steamer Alleghany is to be got ready for an ex- ploration of the Chinese seas. A correct chart of these waters will be of infinite service to all navi- gitors, and more especially to the Americans, whose trade is so rapidly increasing in that quarter. In ancther column we publish some very interest- ing intelligence, brought by the steamer Petrel, from the West Indies. Small pox and other dis- eases are reported to have almost entirely disap- peared from the island of Jamaica. The gold fever was raging with great fierceness, and at last ac- counts large numbers of the inhabitants were ac- tively preparing to seck their fortunes inthe Aus- twalian mines We came very near having a regular firemen’s riot yesterday. Fortunately, however, the results were not so sad as might have been expected from a) ocrrerpondent the beginning of the affray. It appears that a feud has for some time existed between the members of Fire Engine Companies No’s 6 and 41. rel was opened afresh at the primary clecti Seventh Ward, on Thursday evening la net at the and commen in by other firemen, who tock sides with the The affair did not amount to much, as the rioters were careful to keep i distance from cach other; and the y the ccmpani and Lhird avenu which part was ate rents. a lice performirg their duty admirably soon put a stop to the quarrel, A telegraphic de ch brings us in- telligence of « riot among the firemen ef Philadel- phia on Saturday evening last, and our firemen were but following suit to the Philadelphians’ lead. The steamship Obio may now be hourly expected, with the details of two weeks news from California and two millions in gold dust. The steamer Wash- ington is also sbout due, with four days later ad- vices from Europe Mone Avouirion Sremcnes.—Are we to be en- lightened by seme more anti slavery speeches in the Senate? We have tbe authority of a distin- guished member of the United States House of Re- prosentatives for the statement, that before leaving Washington with the remains of Henry Clay, Gen. Cass requested Senator Sumner to postpone his epeech on the Fugitive Slave law until he, Gen. Cass, should return, as he wished not only to hear Mr. Sutener, but to follow him with some remarks, designed to st the South right and correct some of their extreme notions on the subject of slavery. People will hardly be inclined to believe thia; but it oppears to be the truth. When the question of allowing Mr. Sumner to speak came up, Gen, Cass voted egainst granting him the privilege. Mr. Summer appears to be in bad odor ali round, just now. His constituents at home, who elected him, are disettieficd with his dilly-dallying up to the close of the cession, from a tender regard to his “social position,’ while whatever he bad gained in that way with the South, is all forfeited now. Exrosror tHe Garvinen OLatm —We haveinour | powession certain circumstantial, documentary, and historical developments, concerning the Gardiner claim, which we expect to publish within a day or We have been waiting for the action of the several committees of Congress; but as not one of them is pr’ pared to make any disclosures this ses- two. sion, and as the trial of Dr. Gardiner will probably never take place, our exposition will be just in | hive. & | @ube—Order of the Lone Star—The New | polished granite, that he was compelled te) church im green spectacles. If we aze thus saved Invasion. The Cubs movement of the Lone Star society is geing forward. We refer our readers to the pro- egedings, in this paper, of a meeting of the Order n this city, last Saturday night, at which a splen- did emblematical breastpin was presented to Dr. Wren, the special agent from the New Orleans se- cieties. It will be seom that—although there is no air of mystery thrown ever the grent ond of their orgazization—it can only point in one direction, and to one specific ebject—to Cuba, and the libera- tion ef Cuba. The intelligence which we published yesterday, from Havana, eonfirms the developements, in other quarters, of an extensive conspiracy in Cuba and in the United States, for the bloody overthrow of the Spanish despotism of “the Beautiful Island.” The government officials appear to be moving heaven and earth for the detection and apprehension of the leading conspiraters in Havana, the publishers of Bl Voz dei Pueblo Cubano (the Voice of the Cuban | People); but it is evident that the great cause of ap- prehension is the organized body of sympathizers known to exist in this country. Good reason, too, have the authorities of Cuba to be alarmed coneerning the force and the movements of the ‘filibusteroes Americanos;” for if the documents and facts relating to the Lone Star association, which we have already commented on, are reliable and authentic, then, in- deed, are the foreshadowed invasion and revolution er Cuba apparently inevitable. For the present, we present to our readers, as eireumstantial proof of the formidable character of this censpiracy, the following catalogue, which has been furnished us, of some, and only some, of the leading members of the secret ‘Order of the Lone Star,” in New Orleans, Washington and New York We give the list »s we have received it, withou vouching for its accuracy, though it is supposed to be substantially correct :— ORDER OF THE LONE STAR. NEW ORLEASS. Doctor Wren, Speeial Azent to New York. Major Beiss, of the Dela. Gen, Felix Houston. Gen. George Washington Dixon, and five thousand others. WASHINGTON, Hon, Stephen A. Douglas, Untted States Senate. Hen. D. L, Yulee, late Semator from Florida Hon Isaae P. Walker, and forty or fifty others. SEW YORK. George Law, government contractor and steamboat owner Howland & Aspinwall, do., doubtful. Cornelius Vanderbilt, great steamboat owner (sure). Daniel E. Veavan, Sachem of Tummany Hail. James Watson Webb, leading editor in Wall street, and a number of the Wall street capitalists, George N. Sanders, of the Democratic Review. ‘Thomas Devin Reilly, Irish editor do.

George Washington Seraggs, Cortlandt street. Quite a number of Calitornia steamship captains, and half their ships’ crews. rank and file, the whole of the Association for New York, amounting to several thousand men. Now, we venture to say that no man will or can dispute the strength and terrible import of a secret revolutionary organization, numbering among its fifteen thousand members in the United States such an imposing catalogue of capitalists, militar, chief. tains, lawyers, statesmen, and politicians, as are here combined together in the sacred, secret, but avowedly revolutionary, “Order of the Lone Star.” Here we have men to furnish the sinews of war, in- cluding cash, steamers, munitions and provisions, and muskets and artillery (second-hand), to any amount. The very materials intended for Hungary and Italy are thus directed to a practical object, within point-blank striking distance. Whether the thirty thousand dollars of the Irish Directory has been invested in stocks of the Lake Superior copper mines, or the California gold mines, or the New Jersey zinc mines, we have no means of knuow- ing; but if not otherwise absorbed, we should not be surprised at all if this same Irish sinking fund were also appropriated to the invasion of Cuba. And why not? The conquest of Cuba, by an in- yading force from our shores, would probably result in fomenting a war with England—and that is the hour for which Ireland is waiting to strike. We see, therefore, no reason why this Irish fund—inclu- ding the five hundred dollars subscribed by Arch- bishop Hughes—shéuld not be turned over to the order of the Lone Star, for the liberation of Cuba. it was reported in the island that the revolution was expected to be opened ag early as November. Any time between November and March next will be highly favorable for the movement. The season of the year will be propitious, and a temptation in itself to join the invasion ; and the advantage, in a political view, will be such as can only happen be- tween the outgoing of one administration at Wash- ington, and the incoming of another. At that period our government will be in a state almost amounting to suspended animation; and the work can be ac- complished, as it might, in fact, have been accom- plished in the last expedition, before the go- vernment conld bring any organized means of resistance to bear against it. “In a Presidential view of this momentous, vast and comprehensive question, we have no informa- tion as to the course which the fifteen thousand members of the Lone Star, scattered from New York to New Orleans, intend to ptrsue. The Order, as it appears, is composed of men, and of many conspicuous men, of both parties. We may safely aseume it asa fact, notwithstanding, that the nsso- on will act in concert in reference to the next | administration ; for it is well understood that the liberation of Cuba is to be but the first act of the drama. The second, perhaps, will be a general war, he com- t, War or with the United States arrayed again bined powers of Europe ; but, in any e | no war, tl be the annexation of Cuba to tl nit . We shall recur to the subject Its nitude, the momentous conse- ca it involves, the ominous stato of things in and the boldness and the numbers of the liberating conspiragy in this country, give to the quesiion every aspect of the deepest and gravest importanc A Grontous © ING OF THE Crty.—The glori- | | | | } | ous rain of last Saturday night resulted in a glorious clemmsing of the city. It appeared as if a kind Providence, taking pity upon the cries of nearly a million of suffering people, (so long neglected in dirt by our dirt-loving Corporation,) had opened the windows of heaven for the special washing of our yate horribly dirty streets. And a truly glorious washing it was. From five o'clock till near mid- night, it rained like the rainy season at Panama It rained magnificently. Imagine an immense cis- tern, of the calibre of Lake Ontario, hung over the city, full of water, retained by a false bottom, the real bottom being full of holes of two or three in- ches diameter, and lese*than half an inch apart— imagine tie false bottom suddenly drawn out, like the sliding top of a cigar box, and put this wide spread waterfall in motion to the music of a regular smashing southeaster, “ blowing great guns,” and the distant render will have o faint con- ception of Saturday night’s most glorious storm of upwards of six hours duration. Never did New York wake up before so thoroughly wash- ed for Sunday—eo clean and respectable, The streets for once were delightful to look at. Even the lowest and most filthy localities, which had been recking with fermenting garbage all the sum- mer, exhaling malaria and pestilence night and day, were wathed out as they were never washed out for ® hundred years. Twenty-five thousand Irishmen, without a stitch of work for six months, set to the duty of cleaning the streets by the cart load, could not have done the job eo thoroughly in ten days. Our city fathers opened their eyes in the morning, humiliated and abashed; and the Street Inspector hardly recognized Broadway. He had become s0 accustomed to dirt, and the Russ pavement was so shining and clear, that it dazzled his eyes. So fact. nated Daniel Webster for President. movement is pending in North Carolina, where a pose. from the chelere, or any other epidemic or posti- lence—if we have thus had the streets sweet and clean for one blested Sabbath day—it is due, not to the Corporation, (no thanks to them,) but to a kind Providence, to whom let us be thankful for all His — mercies. GengraL Soorr in Massacuuaerrs —Few cir- | cumstanees of a political nature have oecurred, since | the Whig Baltimere Convention, more important in their character, or more significant of the general feeling throughout the country, than the indepen- | dent position recently assumed by some of the lead- ing members of the whig party in Boston and other parts of the State of Massachusetts. The Hon.Edward | Everett, Hon. Rufus Choate, and Messrs. Seaver, Sleeper, Hall, Marsh, and Piper, have all declined — to accept the appointments conferred on them as delegates at large, to the Whig State Con vention, to be held at Worcester, next Wednes- day; and twelve other delegates chosen to represent districts, have adopted the same course. of General Scott, and create alarm in the hearts of | the most confident and swaggering of tho party, a3 to the result of the next general election. Most of those whom we have named, have for years occu- | pied the highest position at the head of the whigs of their State, controlling and influencing their movements, and imparting a tone and direction to their political opinions, so that their defection, under such circumstances, augurs very unfavorably for the success of the Seward-Scott party. Some of thom, too, stand conspicuous amongst their fellow men for virtue, talent, and intellect; and from their legal, literary, and scientific attainments, are classed among the brilliant lights of New England. This declination, on the part of those gentlemen, to aet as delegates in support of the Scott ticket, is tantamount to a declaration of hostility to that sauce. High-minded and independent, they would not consent to be yoked into the car of William H. Seward, nor lend their countenance to the nefarious schemes of that demagogue, and they have, there- fore, by this public act of theirs, recorded their strong disapprobation of the course pursued by the delegates to the Baltimore Convention, and given an intimation which cannot be mistaken, that they will not be parties to nor co-operate in such mea sures. They recognize the fact, that the nomi: { tion of Gen. Scott, at Baltimcre, was procureu through the influence of a set of infidels, socialist § abolitionists, and free soilers, of this State and New England, under the direction of William H. Seward; and they know the dangers which threaten tho peace and progress of society, and the stability «f the Union, if unfortunately this party should be so successful as to carry their candidate into the Presi- deney. The action of the Baltimore Convention was not a reflex of public opinion. General Scott was admired by the people of the United States for his honorable, upright conduct—his patriotic and high toned principles, and his skill and bravery in fighting tho battles of his coun, try--but be was not and could not be their choice as President. With bis great military renown, ho at the same time enjoyed the reputation of being a vain, pompous, aristocratic, addle-headed man given over to self-conceit and whimsicalities; and however much his intrinsic merits as a military com- mander were acknowledged and admired, few gave him credit for even a mediocrity of common sense and enlightenment, much less for such a well-ba- lanced intellect, cultivated mind, and extensive jpformation, as would capacitate him for the posi- tion of chief magistrate of this great republic. General Harrison and General Taylor, who were sent into the White House by means of the military furore, evinced a sad deficiency of ability in theirad- mivistrations; and yet, in thisrespect, they were the superiors of General Scott. The man who, above and before all others in the country. was fitted for that high office, by his great intellect, his vast informa- tion, and his being so intimately connected with the political affairs of Europe and this continent, was before the Convention as a candidate; but his claims were repudiated or not recognised, and he had the mortification of seeing a totally incompetent person receive the nomination to which he considered him- self entitled, and which public opinion was ready to accord tehim. This unjust and partisan procedure ot the Baltimore Whig Convention has had i's in- fluence on the great mass of the whig party, North and South, who only recognize init a betrayal of the trust confided to their delegates, and the success of the schemes of Wm. H. Seward and “his subor- dinate demagogucs. The position assumed by the leading whigs of Massachusetts is one of the manifestations of this feeling of discontent, and when taken in conjunc- tion with the recent movements in Georgia and North Carolina, it is a significant and important The Georgia Whig State Convention, lately mbled at Macon, has repudiated the action of the National Convention at Baltimore, and nomi- A similar call has been issued for a public meeting, to be held in Raleigh to-morrow evening, for the like pur- This call is couched in language tending to show in what direction popular opinion is veering with respect to national conventions, the signers avowing their determination to act on principle, and disregard now and forever all partisan dictation. These movemente, North and South, in opposition to the Seward- Scott ticket, and in favor of Mr. Webster, must have an immense effect on the next election. The starting of a third candidate, though it may necessarily involve the defeat of Genera Scott, may also probably throw the clection into the House of Representatives. Matters now begin to promige the likelihood of this alternative being had recourse to, to decide who shall be the next Presi- dent of the United States. What are Mr. Webster's | friends in Wall street preparing to do to give their | candidate a good start? Are we not going to have a maca meeting in this great metropolis, and a con- vention in the Empire State, to place New York at the head of the movement in which Georgia, North Carolina, and Massachusetts, have commenced their parts? Free Soi Ratirication wy Fanevin, Haun.— If there has been any doubt of the sincerity of the Pittsburg nomination of John P. Hale, as the free soil candidate for the Presidency, and any doubt of his abiding, bond fide, by that nomination, those doubts, we think, are removed by the grand ratifi- cation in Fancuil Hall, Boston, on Friday evening last. The meeting is described as a rouser, and the enthusiasm as unbounded for Hale and Julian against the field. Hon. John G. Palfrey, late a member of Congress, presided. As a sample of his speech we give the following extract:— He rejoiced that the auspices of the occasion were euch asthey were The nominations of Hale and Julian had created, he imagined, consternation in ministerial cir cles, ax well as among whig and democratic politicians, Under such circumstances, we had net.

Nutter, from New Hampshire, at present on board the bark Doiphim, for Aus- tralia, was, on Saturday morping, walking on the pier. foot cf Vesey street. when a man picked up a pocket book elose by bim, and asked bim if it cid not belong to him, and insisted upon his taking it. No sooner had he taken possession of the pocket book, than two other men came up to him, and said he had stolen the book, pre- tending at the same time, that they were officers, and would send him to the State priton. One of these men, however, said that if Nutter paid him $60 buey would let him off, otherwive Uhcy must convey him to the Po- lie#*Court, from whence he would be sent tothe Tombs, Nutter, believing himeelf placed ina very awkward po- tition, paid the $50 to the men, whom he thought were poticemen. who releaved him from oustody. After being released, Nutter did not feel exactly satisied, and com- municated the operation to policeman Hambiin, of the Third ward to whom he gave a description of the men. The description answered the appearance of a fellow called * Bjack Joe,’ a noted pocket book dropper. Ac- cordingty, the policeman took Mr, Nutter before Justice Bogart, bis aflidavit was taken setting forth the facts, and & Warrant was iseued for the arrest of the man called Black Joe. Previous to the arrest, a curious proposition was mede to the magistrate by a friend, no doubt, of the guilly parties, ‘The preposition was to pay buek the $59 to Nutter. provided the prosecution be stopped. This offer, the magistrate informed the negotiator, could not be entertained, but still the Court, for the benelit of the complainent, would receive the $50, with an understand. ing that the complainant centinves to prosecute. ‘The $50 was ultimately paid. and when Black Joe was ar- Teeted. und brought bifore the Court, s:range to say, Mr. Nutter was unable to identify him as one of the guilly party, The poyment of the money evidently, in agreat measure, tended to affect the recegnition of ‘the prisoner. Nutter received back his $50, and Black Joe was discharged from custody. The whole matter is a very curious effuir, Cannot the police do something to prevent such nets of daring larceny?

During the past week the stock market has experienced eeveral sudden fluctuations, and at the close yesterday there wasevideutly a desire on the part of holders to re- alize. The principal sellers were, however, the ehorts, and the buyers those who were previously large hoide Very little stock actually changed hands, the transactions having been mostly on time Thisthe bulls are disposed to encourage, as the market has for some time felt very much the abrence of shorts. At the rate the bears have been putting out contracts for some days past, it will not bo long before they will be deeply involved, and we may then look for an animated contest between the two great par- ties in the strect. As for ony serious stringency in the money market coming to the aid of the bears, it is entice- ly out of the question. ‘The efforts made by the banks to put up the rate of interest have but purtially succeeded, and they will soon bave to abandon the movement alto- gether, There is too much capital afloat in the hands of private capitalists to enable the banks to carry out their plans, A few years cince the banks were powerful enough to regulate the money market as they pleased. They could put the rate of interest up cr down, make money abundant or scarce, as suited their ideas, and the com- mercial classes fiom one end of the country to the other. were favorably or unfavorably affected accordingly. It is, fortunately, not sonow. The power of these paper money manufacturing institutions has departed, and no one cares whether they expand or coutract—whether thoy tell the public weekly, wonthly. or annually, what their condition is, how much specie they have. or whut their fu- ture policy will be. There is « conservative influence pre vailing throughout. in our financial affairs, which prevents there sudden, severe fluctuations, heretofore so frequent and so disastrous Fortunately, we have no one regulator, Money matters regulate themselves ; and so long as indi- vidual, instead of incorporated interest, is the regulator, so long as there is outside of thé banks a power great enough to neutralize the acts of these institutions, so long will all parties refrain from placing obstructions in the way of a legitimate course cf commercial operations: A cautious, unchangeable policy, is the only true one to pursue ; and if there is ever any deviation from that line, the banks are invariably the first great cause. The course they pursue is calculated tot create sudden ant frequent fluctuations, out of which they realize larga profits, For = time they extend every favor to bor- rowers of money. They afford every facility for speca- ative purpores, and after leading along the large class of speculators for a long time—after getting them as deeply involved as possible in all sorts of schemes, these banks not only suddenly shut down the gate and cut off all supplies, but they call in all demand loans, unless the advanced rate of interest required is acceded to. The banks actu- ally seta trap to catch their customers ; and, like the highwayman, compel them to disgorge or abide by tho al- ternative. About three weeks since, the Wall street banks commenced this game, Upon comparing notes, they be- came satisfied that the proper time had arrived to pounce upon the community, and compel those having call loans topay up at once or pay higher rates of interest. The movement was simultaneously made, and for a time suc- eceded pretty well—but pot im the way desired. Largo loans were paid up, and the banks were full of money, so much so that they were offering it in the street at the lowest rate of interest. and glad to get rid of it in that way. The effect of these operations has been of an unfa- yorable cbaracter—it has made those depending upon these banks more cautious ; it has created a disposition on the part of the ecmmunity, generally, to hold themselves in readiness to mect any demand from the banks, so long as sthey are in their power. ‘This has caused a slight stringency in the money market, but is more imaginary than real. Parties having heavy payments to make sometime hence, have taken the precaution to provide the means in anticipa- tion, under the apprehengion that these Wall street banks may, at rome future period, make another and more de termined effort to paralyze theveryoperations of commerce, which, for sometime past, they have as assiduously fost- ered. Having no confidence in the permanency of any policy these institutions may pursue, the commercial community undoubtedly feel that the safest course is to look out in time for facilities for meeting maturing en- gagements, This may for a little while cause a more ac- ive demand for money, than would otherwise have exist ed but it will coon be equalized and distributed as the ro gular operations of trade require, ‘The receipts of the Vermont Centra! Railroad Company for the last three months, amounted to $164,800, agains’ $149,686 for the corresponding months in 1851, showing an increase in the three months this year of $15,114 ‘The Hamilton Incurance Company, of Salem, divided the following dividends among its members for the past year; In the firet class, 70 per cent; second class, 60 per cent; third class, 10 per cent; fourth class, 5 per cent.

Mineral Point is the centre of the mineral region of Wisconsin, rich in lead, copper. and wine; and the proposed railroad will enable it to obtain coal for smelting purposes, from the coal fields, It is stated that the Eaton and Hamilton, and Cincin- nati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad Companies will, if it becomes necessary for carrying forward with facility the passengers and freight from the Indiana Central Railroad, and other Indiana roads, put down one track of the Indi« ana gauge from Richmond to Cincinnati, It is believed that the Ohio gauge can bo comied tothe principal points in Indiana—Loganrport and Indianapolis; but if it is found by experience that it will be desirable to have the Indiaua gauge put down from Richmond to Cinciunail, the companies are ready to put down a track of the Indi- ana gauge.
