FILLMORE’S UKALTIC Wasuincrox, March 26—9 P. M. No quorum of the Senate being present to-day, that body transacted no business, much to the disappointment of the expectant of Executive manna, ‘There was a protracted cabinet meeting this morning, and Stis understood that the California appointments, so warm- ly contosted by Senators Weller and Gwin, were finally de- eided upon. A-compromise has been effected, by which ‘the names of George Wright for Subtreasurer, and Maior Belover for Postmaster at San Francisco, wero with- @rawn; and, aftora now shuille and deal, the following Hominations were agreed to :—Mr. Snider for Subtreasu- er, General Richardson for Marshal, and Hon. J. Henley for Postmaster at San Francisco. Messrs. Wright and Selover promptly withdrew their claims, so a to promote She goneral harmony. Their conduct is deserving of high Praise, and is doubtless fully appreciated by the Presi- Gent. ‘The policy of the administration seems to be eminent- Jy compromised in the matter of appointments. It is naselese to pretend the cabinet ix a unit upon this'subject, whatever may be the casein other affairs. Mr. Marcy hhas too many opponents to ‘crush to powdor,”’ ashe has fhaid, to permit the President to fill the offices upon the principle of giving them to those who have all along Btood on the platform which carried the last election. Other members of the Cabinot, having none of this per- Bonal feeling, are disposed to hositate ero they let the Sec- etary of State have full swing, and hence the delay. It ia understood the President desires to give the Col- leetorship of New York toa hard shell. But already ge- weral names have been presented, to one of whom ‘would be as acceptable to the hards as that of Mr. Schell, Among themare Alderman Trotter, Wilson G. Hunt, and Mayor Westervelt. Tet all applicants for office remember not to bot till Shey see the trump card. The following appointments have been made by the President, by and with the advice of the Senate:— COLLECTORS OF CUSTOMS. Edward P. Little, at Plymouth, Mass., vico T.

Areport has beon circulated that tho Senate intend toremove the injunction of secresy from the interna- tional copy right treaty. This we learn, from the best authority, isa mistake. The treaty is still in the hands ofthe committee to whom it was referred, and it is, therefore, not before the Senato; but the sudjoct of re- moving the injunction of secresy has been pretty gene. rally debated among Senators informally, and a large Majority are opposed to it. It would require the con- ‘Surrence of two-thirds of the whole body to take any ac- tion, so that it may be regarded as decided that it will not be made publie. A debate of some hours duration occurred in the exe- utive session of the Senate yesterday, upon the extra- dition treaty with Switzerland, now before that body. “The treaty contains an article providing that the citizens of both countries may inherit real estate property left them by the citizens of either. A constitutional point ‘was raised by Mr. Butler, Chairman of the Judiciary Com- mittee, that the right of aliens to inherit property within ‘the United States wasa matter regulated by State laws, and was not uniform in ifs action, inasmuch as some States permitted foreigners to inherit, whilst others pro- hibited it. Mr. Everett showed that all our extradition treaties, since the formation of the government, with the exception of four, contained precisely similar provisions aa to foreigners inheriting. To this it was replied, that Precedent, if in violation of the constitution, or the rights of the States, could not be regarded. The question isa novel one, andit is believed, now that objection has been raised, that it will be sustained. The difficulty in the way arises from the fact that, for the first timo, the pro- vision is objected to, and stricking it out of a treaty with the only respectable republic in Europe whilst it remains in other treaties may have an ungracious ap- pearance. If unconstitutional, however, it,could not be en- forced, for, although treaties are the supreme law of tho land, they cannot, of course, over-ride the constitution: ‘The Senate have yet received no intimation from tho President as to the adjournment. But if it does not take Place soon, it will be dificult to drum upa quorum. The “Presiding officer of the Senate has no power to compel the attendance of Senators. T regret to learn that Mrs. Fillmoro’s health is no bet” Yer, and that her physicians arefearful she cannot re- cover sufficiently to be removed from here for some ‘weeks. x. ¥. % THE DIFFICULTIES BETWEEN THE HARDS AND SOFTS —SEORBTARY MARCY AND HIS FRIENDS AND ENR- MIES—TREMENDOUS UPROAR AND CONFUSION, ETC. Wasmincton, March 25~ 10 P. M. Who shall be Collector of New York is the great ques- tion of the day. ‘The contest goes on in the cabinet, the streets, and the bar-rooms. ‘The softs and tho barnburn- ers alternately say, ‘anybody but Schell.’ The hards are a unit, and in one phalanx reply, ‘Scho, and no one else.” It is understood that at the cabinet meeting to dy, Mossrs. Guthrie, Camp- bell, Davis, Dobbin, and McClelland were for Schell. Secretary Marcy oppored them, and to-night, it is romored, threatens to ‘grind the hards to powder.’ He will never forgive the bards because they dofea hhim in 1862, and are against him for 1856. They will nevor forgive his union with the barnburners in 1849, Th:> Bards roy it was a union on paper which admitted the freesoilers with their flag flying. They now begin to think that it thas turned out to be a union for the spoils, and so there is no peace aftcr al! ‘We should nuppore that the soft and barsburnes ortor of didates," where united opposition is to overcome his strength. The refusel of the softs te endorse the Insugu- ral in the New York Legislature, together with the si- Tence of the free acil organs, has apparently frightened Marcy; and an article in the Buffalo Republic, edited by Mr. Welch, the State Treasurer, has fallen like @ bombehell in the Premier's camp. The Premier is ina fix, If he disappoints the hunkers, the State is surrendered to John Van Buren, who will go to the United States Senate. If he has no party but the softs, they will prove no match for the barnburners, ‘We are travelling towards '56, Who will turn up jack— Marcy or Pierce? The @ght is getting lively. Marcy is playing for the Presidency, and Cushing’s main business {sto watch him, eorner him, oust him, and so be Premier himself, in name as well as in fact. Caleb don’t say Much about the Collectorship, He listens to others in the cabinet, and bas a quiet, private talk with Gen. Pierce afterwards. Caleb speculates and dreams like 4 philosopher. He must be wide awake like 8 politician. The issue is clear and single, Hf the candidate of .the hards is not appointed, it is said they will prosent no other, but go home by the air line, and leave the softs and barnburners to get up a battle among themselves, The hards keep their ground without changing front. They have no candidate but Schell. ‘They are all for Schell, and he is for Collector, and nothing else. The nomination will be sent in on Monday, and then you will know whether the President is hard shell or soft shell. OBSERVER. THE NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA APPOINTMENTS —RUMORED SELECTION OF HON.

RA Arrival of the isabel at Charleston, with Six Dayw’ Later News. VICE PRESIDENT KING'S HEALTH—DISSENSION AMONG THE SPANISH TROOPS—REVOLT OF AN ENTIBE COMPANY—MORE SLAVES LANDED—AR- RIVAL OF THE BRITISH STEAMER DEVASTATION SLAVE TKADE, ETC. TELEGRAPHIC, - Cuanrsston, March 25, 1853. The &. S. mail steamship Isabel, with Havana and Key West dates to the 22d insteat, arrived at this port to-day. Mr. King’s health was no settor. It was ramored that serioan disturDances had taken i Place among the troops at St. Jago de Cuba, or some } other port ia the Eastem department of tite island. It is related that a company was calitd out to witness punish- stent, which the corporsis refused to inflict; that the off- cere struck the corporals with ths flats of their sworda, and'that the soldiers reseved the corporals, and then the whole company fied. Fifteen of them had been eaptured, and’ sentenced to death. The officers, however, were afran$ that if it were attem wed to execute tliem the reat Of th’ troops would revolt. Goneral Ginedo is highly in- censed at the officers, and scys, that insteadof making the soldiers discontented, they: should’ endeaver to pre- ‘vent such occurrences, It was rumored that the clipper slaverLady Suffolk had landed a-eargo of negroes, but the rumor was botieved to be untrue, and toemanate frcm the tradérs themselves. I¢'was cextain, however, that another lot. of Africans had beon tanded since the Portuguese cargo: ‘The British steam frigate Devastation arrived at Hava- na on'tho-2Ist, and with other vessols was. oxpected to suppress the slave trade if possible. ‘The weather in Cuba was exeeodingly hot. The political prisoners had not yet been sentenced, ‘and {twas supposed that the authorities were waiting instructions trom Spain, The commercial intelligonce is substantially the same an that brought by the Crescent City at New York. Another Spanish Outrage on the Amerieaan Flag. The schooner Manchester, (of Baltimore,) Captain Starling, whiob arrived at this port yesterday from King- ston, Jamaica, informs us of one of the most high-handed outrages upon our fiag that has yot been committed by the loyal subjects of Queen Isabelia-im Ouba. According.to-Captain Sterling’s account, which is au- thenticated by his consignees, he was poacefylly pursuing his course homewards from Jamaica, when, on the 15th inst., off the island of Cuba, and about twenty miles east of Cape Antanio, he was boarded by twelve armed men, under the command of a negro second lieutenant, from a Spanish cruiser of twelve guns, who took pessesion of the vessel in spite of his remonstrances, and carried her inside the reaf there. They thon demanded theachooner’s papers, which the captain had to take.on board the cruiser for examination. The Spanish commander was even going 80 far asto break open the letters of the consignees, but desisted when Captain S. insirted upon his returning thera intact. They also broke opom the hatches, and took out about a third of the schooner’s cargo; but not finding any ammunition or guns on board, put it back again. This was done after the papers had been exa- minsd end found correet. After detaining hor twenty- four hours, anchored close under their guna, the schooner was ullowed to proceed, and get out of the reef the best way she could. This, however, was not allowed, until Captain S. bad promised to. satisfy a demand of thirty dollars for safely piloting him inside the reef. The only excuse given for this wanton injustice, was their suspi- ction of her being bound to Cuba with arms for tho revo- Tutionists. ‘The boarding officer gratuitously informed Capt. Ster- ling that it was utterly impossible, owing to the strict guard kept, for any one to attempt,to surreptitiously land upon the Ouban coast, and that any one caught in tho attempt would immediately “have @ rope around his neck,’’ a hint of what probably might have been the fate of Capt. 8. if any article they could have construed into “arms” or “ammunition” had been found on board In justice to our name and character as a nation, it is necessary that such outrages should be immediately checked. If immediate notice is not taken of this at Washington, very serious trouble will possibly ensue, as the Spanish authorities have a fleot of twelvo men-of- war continually cruising areund Cuba, to intereept real or pretended ‘supplies for the malcontents on the island, the commanders of which will gladly seize hold of the slightest shadow of suspicion asan excuse to molest every American vessel they may fallin with, to gratify their combined fear and hatred of the Americans. Police Intelligence. Before Justice Bogart. CALIFORNIA TICKET CASE—THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. SHAW. This matter was again under oxamination yosterday, in which Mr. Horace A. Shaw is alleged to have been concerned with G. E. Hamilton in the sale of spurious tick- ets for passage in the steamship UncleSam. The evidence elicited om the defence appoars to exonerate Mr, Shaw from any criminal conspiracy with Hamilton in the mat- ter. The mistake that he mado waa in giving oredit to the story told by Hamilton, that an arrangement had been made by himself (Hamilton) and Mr. Mills about passage tickets, and receiving $450 from him on account of passages, when, in fact, according to Mr. Mills’ evi- dence, no such arrangement had ever taken place. Fdward Mills, being sworn. testified in substance as follows, on the part of the defence—Mr, Shaw has been in my employ for over two years past; I am owner and agent of the steamship Uncle Sam; the ship was to have sailed on the 2ist inst., but was detained to have a proper connection on the Pacifié side; all the tickets ssued at my office, No. 51 Cortlandt street, have been redeemed, and the money refunded, or tickets trans: ierred to’ the 5thof April; I have ‘heard of George E. Hamilton, and also heard that he has been issuing tick- ets on the Uncle Sam; I never gave him any authority to issue tickets for that vesrel, nor any one else out of the office. On Thursday or Friday of last week, Mr. Shaw told me that Hamilton hiad paid him $460. 1 haw if he had issued tickets for that money; hb said he had not, vut had taken it on account of passages, and given him a receipt. Shaw stated that Hamilton informed him that he had seen Mr. Mills, and made an arrangement to that effect. 1 told Mr. Shaw it was not so, and directed him to pay back the money immediately. I drew a chock for the amount, as the money taken from Hamiltea had been deposited, and gave it toShaw, who infrmed me ¢ paid it to Hamilton. ‘ Henry G.

IN THE MATTER OF AUSTRALIAN PASSENGER TICKETS. In this ease, the evidence on the hearing was continued yesterday before Justice McGrath. Nothing, however, appeared doviating from tho facts in the case already pub: lished, with the exception that the owners of the bark Mary Parker agreed to pay back the two thousand dollars, received from Mr, Erler in part payment for the said vessel, on condition that Erlor adds the two thousand five hundred dollars he holds, the same to bo paid back to the passengers from whom it had been received.

Election for Assistant Engineers of the New York Firs Department+Defeat of the Anti- Carson Party—Great Exettement, etc. ‘The election of ten Assistant Engineers, to 1M the Places of the presvnt incumbents, was concluded on Thursday night, wt tan o'clock, st which hour a great multitude of the firemen, of both partics, were prosent. Never before, perhaps, was Firemen’s Hl so denscly } crowded as it was or that evoning, when the inspectors : of the election began te read the returasof ensh company of the fire department. The greatest excitemgnt prevailed be ween the friends of Henry H.\Howard, tn: chief of tha “Anti Carson” party, on one side, and Michael Kiche!ls the “Carson man,’ on the other, Svvoral people Usd; no: doubt, heavy bets on the issue of tho clection. At ten o’cloek presisely, sil’ the returns-having been banded in, the inspeetors proeseded to read those of the evgine companies, whieh showed a decided imajérity for the anti-Carsox party, whose hopos of conqrést were at that time very sanguine; and several shouts of ap- plage were givom when one of the spectators announced that‘ Harry Howard was ahead‘of them all.’ At this monient the excitement became ixtease. The roora, being a very snrall one, was crowded to ewffocation by the anx- ious ‘Yiends of both parties, Aftor three hour were spent in reading the Eagine returrs, the inspectors commencct reading those 0 the Hose companies, during the reading of which a pin could be-heard falling on the floor. Men were mounted upon odairs, putting down the number of votes each of the candidates received, on @ piece of papcr stuck up agairat the wall, Some, however, came better prepared, with s suitable book, or larga card. The returna of each Hose compinyshowed afearfal odds against the “anti Car- sons,” whose hopes now begun to be relaxed, and those of the opposite party togrow very high. When tho last of the Hose company returns were announced, the read- ing of whith occupied more than three hours, it wasquite clear that the ‘‘anti-Carson” party would ‘have to wait until the next election to defeat the Chicf Engineer, About four o'clock, A. M., the returns of the hook and ladder companies were read, which still showed an in- crease for the ‘‘Carsons.”” They were followed by those of hydrant companies. The inspectors, amidsi* the greatest excitement, then read the number of votes that,each successful candidate had received, which were welcomed with cheers and hiskes. Tho following named candidates were then read, with the number of yotes each one received, and were declared duly elected assistant engineers of the Fire Department :— No. Michael Eichell Peter J. Cornell John Bauich.. John’ A. Cregier. Those names in Italics are ‘“‘anti-Carson: it will be seen that seven out of the ten are ‘arson’ men.

The Dismemberment of Turkey. [To the Editor of the London Chroniele.} Sin—The deep respect we entertain for the great Eng- lish nation makes us feel more painfully the unjust et- tacks of which Turkey has been for some time the object in several English newspapers, and particularly in the Times, The latter goes so far as to speak of the dismum- berment of Turkey. To discuss such a hypothesis would be too painful for our national pride; ‘we shall morely confine ourselves to the examination of ‘the question im an English it of view. Tho Times eonfossed lately (a Russian, born in could not refuse to make the same avowal before am the tently of tho kant, courdorhee he eneetaee 1 jul it, considert of her trade wil those countris = ved y atistical labors of Mr. Mongrodiou. fact being established. we ask any honest and patriotie - lishman how the importance of the trade of Great ;~% tain with the East could be maintained, if the mournful hypothesis which we have mentioned above, and whieh the Zimes seems to long to see realized, were to meet with its accomplishment? “What would England gain by such s.dismerberment? | Raypt perhape «Why she already enjoys all the advantages she could derive from the, pat, nessfon of Egypt viz. the froo passage to India. more could she have if Egypt bolenged to her? ‘The ex- penses of keeping up an army and a squadron, fortresses to loro and a French invasion to fear on the side of Al- rie. France, indeed, would be a much greater gainer such a remodelling of the map. Sho “would chin ried compensation either the frontier of the Rhino, or Tunis and Tripoli, ce she could got Egypt); she would, more- over, double her infuence in Syria. It would be the be- ginning of the realization of the famous imperial dream Of “‘ the French Lake,”’ What woulil then be te h fate of British India ? Austria would eplarge herself by the addition of the Sclavonic provinces within her. reach, and obtain posses- sion of the whole eastern coast of the Adriatic, where she would find, for the developement of her navy, fine porte andan excellent population of seamen. As to Russia, she would become mistress of the Black Sea ard Sea of Marmora, nnd would close her porte against English commerce whenever sho thought proper. Eyen the petty kingdom of Greece would moet with a territorial and maritime increase by the accom) of the wishes of the 7imes, and all there naval resources, all that power, would bo undoubtedly turned against England. Such would be the inevitable consequence im the eyes of any man poscossing the slightest idea of poli- tics." We therefore proclaim it, aloud, unless he be « foa ora traitor, no British subject can seriously desire the dismemberment of the Ottoman empire. One must be totally void of common sense not to understand why Austria and Russia are making so much noise in the newspapers against Turkey. Their object is to mislead public opinion and excite it against us, as at the time of the Greek insurrection, in order to instigate the wost— England ineluded—to a new Navarino, or at least to a no less dangerous ett, whilst Russia and Austria are playing their game on the Bosphorns and the Danube. This is not all. The Zimes often speaks of the neo of peace for commerce, (and sometimes of humanity. Now, does the Zimes believe that the Turks would ret from Europe like a flock of sheep? Lot that journal be undeceived ; before that can take place a frightful war must be waged, and torrents of blood be shed The 7¥mes hax said many other things about us; it hae made itself the echo of the calumnies of the Austrian and Russian papers, and of the journals in the pay of those two powers. These odious elanders we have ested by facts in the pamphlet we have just published at Braa- sels, and that we have addressed to the 7imes, as well as to other English papers. If the Times possessed the slightest feeling of justice, it ought, after reprinting the outrageous assertions of our opponents, to have at made mention of the defence presented by the accused ity. Paput the Times, English though it be, does not appear to understand such trifles. What matters justice, provided commerce be flourishing? It is for this very reason that we address it to-day in the name of the interests of that commerce. We trust, sir, from the high character you enjoy throughout Europe, that you will not refuse to foreigners defending their country the favor of inserting these few lines in your respected columns, We present you our sincere thanks beforehand, and re- main, sir, your obediont servants, RUSTEM EFFE! aa was latel B Officers in the service of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, Litge, March 4, 1853 (50, Quai de la Sauventire).

On the 10th, in the Commons, Mr. Drummond asked whether the yernment had considered the effects of the reduced value of gold and its consequences, and whether it was not ad= yieable to appoint a committoc to inquire into the altered value of the standard. The Cl ncollor of the Exchoquer replied, that the government had carefully watched the course of monetary transactions, and especially the inflax and efflux of gold, but they had seon no proof of the re- duced value of the precious commodity, and had no inten- tion, under the present circumstances and as at Pgs ‘ advised, to appoint a committee of inquiry.
