Mew York, Wednesday, March 30, 1853. ee ———————— The News. ‘Well, the great question is definitely settled as to who is to be Collector of this port. The agony of ‘suspense is over—but the excitement appears to have just begun. Marcy stock is below par, and the hards ae going up. For further particulars, see the de- ‘spatches from our Washington correspondents, and ‘the editorial article elsewhere. The hards and the softs of this city were in a perfect furore last [night ; however, under the circumstances, it is probable ‘that harmony between the hards and the softs will ‘be restored—owing to the fact that power has been given to the first and place to the other. Aste Secretary Marcy, it is whispered that he has been offered a free ticket for England, for home, or wher- ever else ha may choose to go. A rather funny debate, considering the gravity that is supposed to characterize the body, came off im the United States Senate yesterday, upon the tesolution authorizing the appointment of a reading clerk. The subject was finally postponed till the eommencement of the next session. The Sergeant- ‘at Arms was instructed to retain the messengers for two months after the adjournment of the present see- sion, in order that they may fold and transmit the Public documents. Several nominations were con- @rmed in executive session, the most important of which are chronicled by our correspondents, ‘Our intelligence from Albany is, in every respect, highly important. The New York delegation yes- terday reported to the Assembly a complete bill, which was ordered to a third reading, for the amendment of our city charter. A correct copy of ‘the measure is given in the regular report of the pro- @eedings. It will be observed that the draft for a bill Sarnished by the reform meeting at Metropolitan Hall has been altered in many respects, and several new sections have been incorporated. We shall hereafter carefully examine the features of this im- portant measure and give our views in detail. It isa matter in which every citizen is deeply interested. In connection with this affair we would also direct the attention of the reader to the report of the com- mittee delegated by the Metropolitan Hall meeting to visit Albany and promote the interests of the city reformers. “ Between the excitement caused by the announce- ment of the President's nominations for New York, and the refusal of the State Senate to go into execu- tive session on the Governor's appointments, the poli- ticians at the State capitol seem to have been great- Jy excited yesterday. The galleries and lobbies of ‘the Senate are reported to nave been packed with anxious office expectants; but when the hour of ‘twelve arrived, and it was decided, at the instigation 4of Mr. Cooley, by a yote of fifteen to eleven, that ne onsideration should be given to the appointments, ‘the faces of the applicants became suddenly elon- ted, and the house was speedily cleared. Before, ai had been quiet and almost breathless, but when the result was made known curses and anathemas ‘were abundant. However, the chagrin of the office seekers was more than over balanced by the general satisfaction expressed with regard to the selection for Collector, and other government officers, in New York. The debates in the Senate on Mr. Vanderbilt's proposed amendment to the State constitution, both on Monday and yesterday, were unusnally spirited and interesting. The speeches of Messrs. McMurray and Bristol, and the by-play remarks of Messrs. Cooley, Upham, and others, were terse and piquant, and will be read with great relish by all who take an imterest in the present peculiar position of political parties, so far as concerns the canal question. Con- siderable routine business was transacted by both Ihouses, and the Assembly proceedings wound up with a debate on the code. A despatch from New Orleans announces that ‘thirty persons were killed, and as many more injured, by the explosion of the boilers of the steamboat Far- mer, in Galveston Bay. The terrible disaster is re- ported to have occurred at a moment when the F. was racing with the steamer Neptane. Let us hope ‘that the officers appointed under the new steamboat lew will not fail to give proper attention to this wabject. The telegraphs furnish an account of the excite- ment existing between the Catholics and Protestants at Cincinnati, with regard to the school question, in which the politicians are said to have thrown aside their old landmarks, and joined the anti-Papal ranks Also particulars of the arrest of counterfeiters at Watertown; loss of the whaling bark Alabama, &c. ‘The democrats of New Orleans are reported to have carried the eity by storm at the recent munici- pal election. The country milk dealers of New York met last evening to devise plans for the purpose of abolishing the impure milk which is sold #0 yery cheap in this city. They contended that if the citizens of New York wanted a pure article they would have to pay a fair price for it. They resolved upon raising the price one cent per quart, A report of the proceed” ings will be found in another column. We elsewhere give a full report of the lecture delivered by Father Gavazzi last Monday evening, on Abe subject of the “ Bible and the Papal System.” Weikave in type a full report of the lecture deliy- ered jest evening by the same gentleman, but for want of room are compelled to defer ite publication. Five @f the Almshouse Governors met last even- ing at the usval hour. Governor Townsend was called to the chair, and read the various requisitions for food, clothing’, and medicines, which were exam- ined, and the neoessary orders made thereon. A ceusus of the differet institutious showed that five thousand one hundred and forty-nine persons were reeciving relief last Batarday night, being a de- crease of fifty-five during seven days. Twenty. three persons died within the week, seventy-three were removed to the penitentiary, and six sen’ }0 tho upon the Comntroller for the sum of tren’ O, tngn. sand dollar, The recent suspension of the clerk of the city prison caused some discussion ; but the case remains for further report previous to action. A woman, named Kane, attempted to drown her child yesterday evening in the East river, at the foot of Twenty-eighth street. She was arrested by the police and locked up. The child was sent to the Almshouse. Coroner Wilhelm held an inquest yesterday upon the body of a man named John Donohoe, who died at the house No. 103 West Thirty-first street, from the effect of falling dow stairs, when intoxicacted, Sunday night. He was a native of Ireland. We annex a list of the contents of to-day’s inside pages:—Rev. Thos, K. Beecher’s lecttre on “How to Manufacture American Citizens; Coro- ners’ Inquests; Court Proceedings, including a re- port of the aetion in the Supreme Court with regard to Gansevoort Property Case; News from Oregon; Financial and Commercial Affairs; Marriages and Deaths; nearly sixteen columns of new Advertise- ments, &c. ‘The Contest Ended—Gien. Pierce Victorious Splendid Schedule of New York Nemina- tons. The struggle is over. The President has been too strong for the Premier. General Pierce is President. Let the New York democracy re- joice—hard shells and soft shells—hunkers and barnburners—not omitting the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, for they are all included in the fol- lowing masterly schedule of New York appoint- ments, which. according to our telegraphic ad- vices, were sent into the Senate yesterday :— 5 A 5 Sort of She. ete Datel &. Dickingon o tne. hard sheils was on the Collectorship, and al- theugh he succeeded in excluding Augustus Schell, the appointment of Daniel S. Dickinson, we should suppose, would be still more unpa- latable to the Secretery of State. The difference is, that, instead of.a subordinate officer, the com- mander-in-chief of the hard shells, (who, more than any other man, is responsible for the defeat of the movement for the nomination of Gov. Marcy at Baltimore.) is made the Collector of this port. We presume that Mr. Dickinson will accept. He will make a faithful and capable officer, or his past distinguished public services go for nothing. But the skeptical in Marcy’s generous dispo- sition to compromise this difficulty think that his consenting to the nomination of Dickinson may be bute trick at last. The Collectorship may interfere with Dickinson’s aspirations for 1856. He may, therefore, decline it. Perhaps Marcy feels pretty certain that he will; and, in that event, having made the utmost concession to the hard shells, he may yet secure the ap- pointment of a soft shell. Augustus Schell seems to have some misgiving of this sort; for we understand that he has telegraphed his friend Dickinson to accept the Collectorship, at all hazards. What says Mr. Dickinson? Shall we have the fight over again, or not? 4 Mr. Schel], it seems, failing in the Collector- ship, declined anything else in our city list, and is, therefore, left out entirely. Perhaps he may be offered something else ; or he may be satisfied with the triumph which he has achieved for the hard shells, notwithstanding he gets no share of the spoils. Something ought to be done for Mr. Schell. Mr. Charles O’Conor, as District Attorney, is the next most prominent and satisfactory nomination for the hard shells, We trast it will meet the approval even of Prince John Van Buren. The sons of the Emerald Isle will certainly appreciate the compliment. Abraham T. Hillyer, for Marshal, will do; but we have not yet been informed whether Captain Rynders consents to this branch of the compromise or not. Jobn A. Dix—next to Marcy and the Van Bu- rens the most conspicuous of the barnburner soft shells—no man will question as a first- rate practical appointment for Sub-Treasurer’ But for his free soil aberrations and procli- vities, for which, it is said, he has repented, he might have occupied to-day one of the very highest positions under the government at Washington. As an offset to Daniel S. Diek- inson, Mr. Marcy will doubtless console himself that General Dix is a Rowland for an Oliver. We have already given a full account of Mr. Heman J. Redfield—a makeweight to the soft ehells, and the Premier particularly, for the loss of the Collectorship. He has, too. the authenticated certificate of an old fogy, which is better than all. Mr. Conrad Swaekhamer, for Navy Agent, is not so widely known. We have asked for in- formation concerning Mr. Swackhamer. Can Hon. Emanuel B. Hart furnish us with his life and public services? Swackhamer is a strong name. any how. John Cochrane, for Surveyor, has been an active politician, around the edges. and has the reputation of being a pretty strong soft shell. Isaac V. Fowler, for Postmaster, is a respect- able appointment. We hope he will prove him- self a worthy successor of Mr. Brady, and hur- ry up the mails, And thus the work is done at last. It was a great issue, that of dividing the spoils of this Empire City. The fate of the democratic party in this State—the fate of the cabinet, and of the party throughout the Union, hung upon the divi- sion of these spoils. Their distribution was a task of nice and difficult responsibility. And when we find that the chiefs of the hard shells and soft shells had to be brought in to the rescue, we can appreciate the magnitude of the occasion in the cabinet. The entire schedule is another striking illustration of the tact and saving dis- cretion of Gen. Pierce. Now, let the seven or eight hundred whigs in office here-turn their attention to the aweets of private life. Or, if they havea taste for adven- ture, let them look at the number of ships that are up for California and Australia, and the re- cent intelligence of the astonishing quantities of gold daily turned up in those outside coun- tries. And let the hungry democracy be civil, and keep cool, in their scramble for the plunder which the poor whigs must disgorge. Finally, if Governor Marcy should conclude to go to England, we shall yet have a reorgani- zation of the cabinet, resulting from the contest on the New York Collectorship. Tickets vor Taz Rovxp Trip—Mr. Dickin- son, the new Collector. is still, we believe, at Bingbamton., his residence in the interior of the State. Office seekers will be after him ; and, for their benefit, we would suggest to the Erie Railroad Company the issue of tickets for the round trip to Binghamton and back, within a limited number of days, say two or three, They will he very convenient. ‘We are informed from Washington, that there in a report in circulation in that quarter, tbr", » the Japan expedition is to be countert@andeq__ recalled, and abandoned. And the Tease” | for this ominous proceeding are said to” 5 virst, that the expedition is too weak +”, ot the civi- lizing and charitable pur~ “ pose of opening the porte of Japan to #6 world’s commerce, and the empire to th "blessings of Christianity, to aay nothing of/'ne great work of a hydrographical survey of those barbarous islands. Secondly, thet, the portentous aspect of affairs all over the continent of Europe admonishes us to husband the disposable strength of our little navy for the possible contingencies of war, and the conse- quent necessity of protecting our commerce. Now, we are disposed to believe there is con- siderable truth in this report. Assuming it to be true, we apprehend that the administration has taken an exaggerated view of the military strength of the Japanese empire, in concluding that the expedition is insufficient for the objeets proposed. From the New York HeraLp we extract the following exhibit of the effective force of the squadron :— THE PROPOSED JAPAN EXPEDITION. Mi apt, meee Sean, Eoken, 800 375 350 270 190 190 190 190 450 120 8,123 The Japan squadron thus embraces thirteen ves- sels, viz.:—One ship of the line, four steam frigates, one razee frigate, three af war, one brig of wer, and three store ships— 236 guns, and a force (including these of the store ships) ing about three thousand three hundred men, in addition to seven hundred marines, which will bring the effective force of the squadron up to four thou- sand, exclusive of officers. The steamers are each provided with two Paixhan shell guns of the largest calibre, fixed on revolving carriages, so as to swee] the horizon, which will discharge shells of 68 an 120 Ibs. each. ‘They also mount long 42’s, and each will carry two brass field prseoess for shells or canister shot. The brig of war ise, and the sloops of war fa, St. Mary’s and Vincennes, will mount 82 pounders. The Vermont will long 42’s on her lower deck, long 32’s on the second, and short 18's on her upper. From the successful experiments of the Bri- tish, in their war with China, on the opium question, we should say such a fleet as this, manned by American sailors and marines, would be fully competent, not only for the pur- pore of bombarding the Emperor of Japan into the most likeral commercial treaty, and any other concessions which might be demanded, but for the absolute conquest and “ annexation” of his whole empire, if tha were deemed to bea measure demanded by the progressive spirit of the age. Three veseels of the squadron have already sailed—the Mississippi, from this port, on the 24th November last; the Powhatan, from Nor- folk, on the 14th February, and the Vandalia, from Philadelphia, on the 6th March—and others are in course of preparation. The com- mercial powers of Europe, in contemplation of the extension of the general area of commerce, and science, and civilization, and Christianity, into the fruitful and populous islands of the Orient, have approved of this expedition, in the highest terms, We believe that the people of the United States, by common consent, ap- prove it, as a redeeming, progressive fea- ture of the otherwise retrogressive or stand- still policy of the late administration. We have anticipated, from the strength of this ex- pedition—from the intelligence, courage. skill and discretion of the commander, and the officers connected with the squadron—from the men of science associated with the enterprise, and from the leading objects in view—-that results of the highest importance to commerce, to science, and to civilization, would be accomplished from this great national adventure. Contemplating the early connection of New York with San Francisco, by railroad across the continent, and the simultaneous, if not earlier, connection by steamship between San Francisco and the east- ern shores of Asia, we had learned to regard the Japan expedition as but a necessary preli- minary movement to the full consummation of this vast chain of trade and travel. reversing its ancient movement round the circuit of the globe. But it appears that the administration does not abandon the Japan expedition solely because it is regarded as incompetent for the objects as- signed it; but because the uncertain state of things in Europe may require all our disposable ehips of war nearer home. What does this mean? What's in the wind? Is John Bull to be ousted from Central America—Young Hickory assuming the responsibility ? or is the Tehuantepec treaty to be enforced by the home squadron? or are certain unliquidated balances between us and the authorities ef Cuba to be redregsed by the bombardment of Havana? It was intended. in addition to the main objects of the Japan expedition, that it should take out @ locomotive and railway cars, and ten miles of railroad iron, to give the Japanese a start in the world, and a telegraphic apparatus and ten miles of wire. to connect the Emperor’s palace with one of the principal towns, and a daguer- reotype apparatus, and a splendid barge for his Imperial Majesty and his imperial harem to take their afternoon airing in upon the waters ofthe sparkling bay of Jeddo, and fifty boxes of domestic goods, and ladies’ finery, and many other things. And what else than the dire por- tents of war flaming along the horizon could induce General Pierce to disappoint the royal Japanese of this expected visit of the American squadron. with its welcome presents? Gentlemen of the univereal peace societies, prepare for war! The honor and the dignity of this nation are to be maintained ; and if the Japan expedition is to be recalled you may rely upon it there is something in the wind. But is it the Monroe doctrine, or Cuba, or Tehuante- pec, or intervention? What is in the wind ¢ Snort axp Sweet.— Messrs, Phelps and Lamb, two members of Congress from Missouri, took it into their heads, recently, to address a letter of nearly a column in length to Col. Ben- ton, their colleague in the next Congress, ask- ing for information on various points in refe- rence to the policy of Missouri democrats in supporting the administration. It was suspect- ed their policy was to trap Old Bullion; but the following reply which he gave thera settled the business. COL. BENTON'S REPLY. Wasnrsoton Crry, March 10, 1859. To Merens.

The estimated yield of £16,000,000, or about $80,000,000, from Australia, ‘up to the close of 1852, was considered immense. This exeeeds the amount of bullion usually held by the Bank of England a few years since. The developements for 1868, {t was thought, would exceed all former supplies, and produce future results on the commerce and trade of the world which none eould well foresee or properly calculate. . ‘The real estate reciprocity treaty between Great Britain and the United States, was the subject of conversation and approval. While citizens of the United States were not expected to purebase largely in England, unless they eould buy on bond and mortgage, and for long terms, it was believed that the investments in the United States by Haglishmen would be large.

Great preparations have been made to give them the most cordial abolition reception ever accorded to any Americans in England.

Marini might be studied with profit by tyros who are apt to descend to bufloonery in the part of Don Pasquale. ‘The amorous Don is by no means an ill-bred man; helacks common sense, and he loses what little wits he has when he falls in love; but he ought never to violate good manners. ‘To those who saw Alboni in the ‘Figlia,”’ it will be no news to ray that she sang and acted im Norina charm- ingly.

But of Signor Salvi as Ernesto, and of Sr. Beneventano as Doctor Malatesta, we might say & good deal to the point in a different strain.

But we must say that it is a trick of the steamboat drammer in the nephew of his uncle in Sewardism thus to treat the elder branch ofthe “higher law” family. It amounts to this :—“Don’t take the Tribune; it is a dirty, infidel, socialist sheet; take the Times—its morals are not half so bad.” Has it come, indeed, to this pass? There was room regular. The road in Mexico in a short time will be furnished with wagons and animals, so as to make the whole line complete. It is in contemplation to supply New Orleans with aweekly mail from California, as steamers now Jeave San Francisco for Acapulco every week, in connection with this company; and onthe Gulf of Mexico the service is to be four times each month between New Orleans and Vera Cruz, as soon as re- quired.
