The principal feature of our advices from Wash- Mgton this morning, is the announcement ef the de- @ination of the coHectorship of this port by ex- Senator Dickinson, and the nomination and confirm- “tion of Judge Greene C. Bronson to fill the post. The Judge, it is said, will aecept the office, and thus put an end to all further speculation on the «mabject. A delegation of soft shells is reported to Rave reached Washington yesterday, with the in- tention, if possible, of securing the collectorship for General Dix; but they were too late—the fiat had @me forth. Mr. O’Conor wishes to be excused from serving as District Attorney; but the President ‘Reeps back his letter of resignation, hoping that he will yet be prevailed upon to serve. There ®eems to be about as mueh difficulty in pre- wailing upon proper men to fill the offices.in this eity as there was in parcelling them out to the satis- faction of the softs and hards.

No @anger need now be apprehended that its mission will not be peacefal. With the exception of the confirmation of-the Pre- @ident’s nominations, little business was transacted in the United States Senate yesterday. A somewhat fanny da@ate occurred on General Houston's resolu- ‘tion appropriating fifteen hundred dollars for the @rection of a new machine in the chamber to take the yyeas and nays, at the close of which the proposition -qvas rejected. An informal message wag received from the President, requesting the membess not to @adjourn sine die before Monday, as.te would proba- ably then be able to lay before them all the nomina- ‘tions for the more important foreign missions. Almost everybody in this.vicinity is now anxious. ‘fy watching ‘the proceedings of the legislators at Albany, in order to ascertain what bnsiness will be eonsummated afid what left undone during the few remaining days of the session. The continuation of ‘the list of one hundred and twenty-eight bills already passed. which we to-day publish, will be conned over with much attention. The numerous Isbbyites in Albany are said to be very impatient at the delay -of their favorite schemes. Many of them will have ‘te return home disappointed. The New York Tax bill was reconsidered and re- committed by ithe State Senate yesterday. Some of vthe whigs are saidto oppose the Assembly's New ‘York Police bill, which we yesterday published in ‘full. After encountering considerable opposition, Mr. ‘Vanderbilt succeeded in introducing his bill pro- widing means for the payment of the State debt, ‘Which proposes to impose a tax of six-tenths of a mill. In commenting uponthis measure, Mr. Mc- ‘Morray said it took care of the contractors but not ofthe canal. A large nomber of bills were passed by both houses, to which the attention of the reader j Védirected in the regular reports. ‘The Canal Committee of the Assemtily were yer: ter Wey engaged nearly the whole day upon the Se- Rate ‘Peselutions to amend the constitution.

Pather Gavazzi ‘delivered the seventh lecture of iris series last evening. He teat8é the subject, “The Papal System—lIta Lntolerante and Slavery,” ‘with much fervor, both in the Hatien and English languages. Owing to the lengttref time occupied dy the addresses, we have time for only a condensed ‘summary. When the reverend gewileman descended from the #tand, he was vocifercusly applauded ‘by his hearers; who were comsiderably excited bythe discourse. The movement amomg fle’ trades is becoming more general every week.

The Mission to Spain—Mr. Soule-Caba— «+ Manifest Destiny.” ‘There is nothing more appalling to superan- ‘nuated conservatism than the terrible and sweep- ‘ing doctrine of “manifest destiny.” To the quiet “old fogy,” who is perplexed with the noise, and rush, and bustle, of this busy age, progress isa bore, and “manifest destiny” the most hor- rible of all apparitions. To him, the bare idea ofthe continuing expansion of the superficial area of the republic, is ever associated with the piratical excesses: of licensed filibusteroes, the atrocities of the first French revolution, and all the dire confusion of wild agrarianism and levelling ruffians let loose upon society to ravage and destroy. To inaugurate the doc- trine of ‘manifest destiny” is simply, to our po- litical an‘ediluvians, to “Cry havoc! and let slip the dogs of war.” Something of this alarm is expressed by the leading philosophers of Sewardism in reference to the appointment, from the United States Senate, of Hon. Pierre Soulé, an amiable, talented, and well educated French gentle- man, of Louisiana, as Minister to Spain. Our philosophers understand that the sole condition upon which Mr. Soulé consent- ed to accept this mission was, that heshould go over to Queen Isabella and her premier, Roncali, with a carte blanche on the Cuba question: and that this concession, which has probably been made to Sonlé, will be very likely to involve us in a bloody war with the Holy Alliance. To give the highest coloring of plausibility to this fearful idea, it must not be forgotten that Mr. Soulé is the especial idol of Young America—the very pattern of a states- man. in the eyes. of George Sanders, of the late Democratic Review—and is believed to be ready at the tap of the drum to plunge for- ward to the extremest vergo of filibuaterism. He is believed by some to be almost fanatical, if not utterly reckless of the means, so that the ultimatum of “manifest destiny” is obtained. He is, doubtless, regarded as a fraternal sympa- thizer, on the part of our philosophers, with Caravajal and his Texas Rangers, for the spoli- ation of Mexico—an instigator of George Law in his recent manly flare-up with Generaf Cane- do; and especially anxious to drive General Pierce to extremities with John Bull by driving out at the point of the bayonet his new colony of the Bay Islands, and his more recently estab- lished colony in the logwood cutting district of Honduras. And there appears to be some ground for these direful apprehensions. when we recur to the re- cent speeches of Mr. Soulé, in the Senate, on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, in connection with the late anti-Monroe doctrine proceedings of the British in Central Ameriea ; and when we consi- der the amicable relations subsisting between Mr. Soulé and Judge Douglas, but especially when, as we are informed that the disciples of Young America, still hanging aboutin Washing- ton, gathered to the nesidence of the new Minister to Spain, on the night of his confirmation, and congratulated him in the Marseilles Hymn and speeches redolent of the dogmas of French so- cialism and New Orleans buccaneers. Thus, we can excuse our sensitive philosophers in their lugubrious anticipations respecting this important appointment to Spain. To them no- thing can be more atrocious than a settled pur- pose to risk yet.a little more the extension of the boundaries of the slaveholding States. The necessary consequence of strengthening the South in the Senate, will inevitably delay the great final object of abolitionism—of driving slavery out of the South, or the South headlong out of the Union. But in a rational view of the subject, we have no fears from the fulfilment of “ mani- fest deetiny.” [t may comprehend the acquisi- tion of Cuba, the reduction of Hayti to the su- premacy of the white race, and the restoration of Faustin Soulouque to his original voeation of blacking boots; it may include the grad- ual absorption—four or five States at a time—of the whole of Mexico; the annexation, even, of the entirety of Central America, in. cluding the dethronement of the King of the Mosquitoes, the armed occupation of the Bay Islands, and the establishment of our southern boundary across the isthmus of Darien, “Ma- nifest destiny” may, and in all probability will sooner or later, include all this; and yet we believe that the tenacity of our Constitution, and the beautiful flexibility of our republican system, will have stomach enough to take it all in, body and breeches, and the capacity to di- gest it without griping. This, and more than thie, is no doubt involved in the sweeping pro- gramme of“ manifest destiny,” and a part of it is unquestionably blended with the mission of Mr. Soulé to Spain. And yet, regarding this new Minister, not as a filibustero, not as a Texas Ranger, not as the chosen instrument of Young America and the Cuban Junta, but as an enlightened, accom- plished, and intelligent American statesman, impressed with the grandeur of our position among the nations, and alive and awake to the spirit of the age, and the spirit of our institu- ‘Sons, and our people, we congiauimie ue coun i . the peace. There may be some just ground of suspicion against Louis Napoleon. Santa Anna to Mexico, with the endorsement of the Spanish press of Cuba—the direct reports from the Mexican capital of the proba- ble restoration of the republic to its ancient po- sition of a vice-royalty of Spain—the marriage of the French Emperor with the Spanish Coun- tess of Teba, all tend to give a very suspicious aspect to Santa Anna’s recall ; bat evensthis extraordinary movement in behalf of Spain, though it may be resolved upon at all hazards, may be arrested by a timely exercise of pru- dence and sagacity in the diplomatic circles of Madrid. This difficulty, too, we think, may be compassed “by Mr. Soulé; for it is self-evident that the affairs of the Continent are such that Louis Napoleon will sacrifice a point to avoid, rather than patch up a pretext to incur, a rup- ture with the United States. When that ancient filibustero, Alexander, had vanquished King Porus and his elephants, (hard by where, more recently, the British fought with the warlike Sikhs the bloody battle of Sobraon,) he turned from the tide“of his victories, and perished with his empire in a spree. He had seen the elephants, and that was enough. It was “manifest destiny.” But such is not our mission. Scrupulously re- gardful of the rights of other nations, and magnanimously considering the weakness of our neighbors. it is our policy, by justice, modera- tion and liberality, to fulfil the glorious duties And if they are inflexily asno- ciated with the “manifest destiny” of continu- ing extension and expansion, so much the bet- ter. In this view, we turn with confidence to the platform of Gen. Pierce. He is not afraid, nor are we, that annexation will bring either ruin upon us, or war, or national disgrace. Nor, complicated as is the tangled web of our diplo- macy with Spain, France and England. upon American affairs, do we despair of a speedy and beautiful adjustment. Young America and the Cuban Junta may be sanguine of an early opportunity for avenging the fall of Lopez; but Soulé, we think, willfully understand his nice and delicate responsibili- ties. There need be nopanic in Wall street. His appointment to Spain does not amount to a There may be danger. in connection with the affairs of Mexico; but still, in any event, and upon any reasonable ultima- tum, the odds are largely on our side in favor of peace. The game is in our own hands, anda little tact and skill will win it. Let Mr. Soulé Let us fulfil our “ manifest des- assigned na. declaration of war. go to Spain. tiny.” Mr. Dickinson Decuea— Tee Question Serriep.—We were correct in our opinion of yesterday morning, that Mr. Dickinsgn’s re- ported acceptance of the collectorship settled the question but fora day or two. According to our telegraphic advices (read them,) from Washington, his letter of declination reached the President yesterday morning, and, forth- with, Greene C. Bronson, ex-Chief Justice of our Court of Appeals, was nominated ; and sat- isfactory evidence having been communicated to the Senate that he was among the very hard- est of the hard shells, a firm believer in the justice of the Fugitive Slave law, and dead against the free soilers, he was st raightway ra- tified nem. con. This looks as it Gen. Pierce had anticipated the declination of Mr. Dickinson, and had, there- fore, picked out his substitute, and had him al- ready eut and dried to send up to the Capitol. We can hardly suppose, however, that the Pre- sident nominated Judge Bronson without con- sulting the Premier ; or, if there was no consul- tation with him, it was, perhaps, because Gov. Marcy had left the matter (barring the nomi nation of Mr. Schell) entirely to the discretion of the President, We presume that, finding the fight too hot against the efforts made to get in a soft shell, he magnanimously consented to waive his objection toa hard shell, always excepting Schell himself. Bronson suddenly finds himself invested with the responsibilities of the Custom House, and six or seven hundred offices to dispose of. There is little doubt of his acceptance. Let all the expectants of office, therefore, make out their papers, and lay their claims before Judge Bronson. He is the man. Let the whigs pre- pare to be sentenced. He has to pronounce upon them, and they need not look for mercy. That sort of thing is out of the question. The democrats are too hungry. They have been waiting too long to be charitable. It won’t do, Isrormation WANTED oF THE Biack Sway.— Has she gone to Europe?

Asan American then high in the ‘Gomi the dominerit‘democratic party—es & dis- ‘€inguished menider of the American Senate—as an accomplished scholar in the languages and diplomacy “ét Europe, and as an affable and agreeable “fentleman—he can scarcely fail to achieve the objects of his mission, as far as they may be“accomplished by a Minister at Madrid.

Spain, co-operating with his movements, but giving him the initia- five. Nevertheless, guarded as Mr. Soulé will | be by the express instructions of the President, and pledged as the latter is, to the saving ex- ceptions of the Inaugural Address, we fedl’quite easy as to the consequences of this bold experi- ment of the selection of Mr. Soule for ‘the Coirt of Her Most Catholic Majesty. On the other hand, it were folly to ‘disguise the fact that our government has an‘eye upon Cuba. Mr. Fillmore admits itim refusing the tri- partite overtures from England ani France ; Mr. Everett in his excellent letter admits it; General Pierce admits it, amd the Buchanan correspondence discloses the fact that Cuba has been a matter of negotiation between our cabi- net and that of Spain for a quarter of a cen- tury. Mr. Soulé will go out to resume, upon a Hew basis, these negotiations for the acquisi- tion of Cuba. But he does mot go out as a brayado. to entangle us ina'war with Spain. England and France, conibined, or any of them. Nor is there any reason'for apprehend- ing an entanglement from his'betwg over zealous or impetuous in his business.

There will be three Jines-of boats running daily east from Toronto. The Royal Mail Line will consist of four bosits, instead of three, as formerly, and will run from Hamilton, at the head of Lake Ontario, to Prescott, opposite Ogdensburg. These arethe Maple Leaf, Mag- net. Arabian, and the Passport, one of which will arrive at Presodtt every morning, and leave on the next. Persons, therefore, may take their departure ‘from New York early in the day, by railroad, and arrive that evening at Ogdensburg. where they can take boat on the following morning from Prescott for the head of the lake, or the American Daily Express Line, which will. commence running from Ogdensburg after the first of June, and which will call at Toronto at seven o’clock in the morning on their way, and at three in the after- The daily line between Toronto and Roches- .ter will consist of the Princess Royal and Admiral, which will call at intermediate ports, on the Canada side, between Toronto and Cobourg, and an express is to be run on this route three times a week, by Mr. Maitland, of The Mayflower, Champion, and Highlander have been purchased by the Cape Vincent Rail- road Company, to forma daily line from Hamil- ton to St. Vincent, the terminus of the Rome and Watertown Railroad. These are American boats, which connect Canada West with New. Yor, in that direction, but are now under the name of a Toronto house, which exhibits the valve of the navigation laws, in relation to the coasting trade. The Americans cannot, in their own name, carry on a coasting trade on the British shore, but it may be effected in this manner indirectly. A similar arrangement, it will be recollected, was attempted last summer, on the Nova Scotia coast, with reference to fish- | the foregoing resolutions. ing vessels, in consequence of which seizures ‘were made by Capt. Campbell, of the Devasta- tion. This line will commence running as soon The City of Hamilton now runs between To- vonto and Hamilton daily, as usual, connecting with the Princess Royal and Admiral to Roch- ester, and commenced running on the 20th of | will be attempted indirectly by facilities to be March. The Queen of the West will make two trips daily between Hamilton and Toronto; and the iron steamer Peerless, is to make two trips daily. between Toronto and Lewisten, near the Falls of Niagara, starting from "To- ronto at seven in the morning and one in the afternoon. It is in contemplation to run the Northerner, an American steamer, twice a-day between Toronto and Youngstown, to which place the extension of the Erie Railroad is nearly completed. Either the Maseppaor Otta- wa Chief will run between Toronto and St. Oatharine’s, at the terminus of the Welland The’ freight steamers between Toronto and Montreal are -the Scotland, Western Miller, Ottawa, England, Hibernia, Trader, Dawn, Protection, and a new boat, just built. The Montmorenci will run from Hamil- ton 4o Quebec, and the Reindeer from Quebec to Port Stanley, on Lake Erle, passing through the Welland Canal—these are freight steamers. The Brantford, propefler, will run between St, |. Tere was more activity in sugars, and several Canadian Ontario, Free Last year the Ogdensburg and Boston Rail- road Company chartered all the schooners they could procure on Lake Ontario, and they are pursuing the same course at present, by means of agents who are visiting all the lake ports, and have succeeded in obtaining a large num- ber of vessels. Their object evidently is to se- cure freight for their railroad, and tocontrol the rate of freight, which, last year, on goods to Ogdensburg, Cape Vincent, and Oswego, was two dollars per ton, and twelve and a half cents per barrel on flour; and it is probable that freights will rule higher this year than the last, owing to the monopoly alluded to. The Com- pany will have a weekly line of steamers, con- sisting of the Ocean Wave and Boston, running between Ogdensburg and the head of Lake On- tario, which will be partially employed in tow- ing the schooners chartered by the Company from Ogdensburg to the foot of Lake Ontario. The charge for freight from Toronto to New York is forty-five cents for flour. The Western mail steamers Montreal and Quebec will leave either Quebec or Montreal every afternoon, Sundays excepted, at five oclook; and after the first of June it is expect- ed that the John Munn will make her trips by daylight, which will be a great inducement to travellers for pleasure to visit this section of the Province, and who must be desirous of view- ing the splendid scenery of the St. Lawrence, which, under the present arrangement, they are prevented doing. The running a steamer below Quebec will afford a very pleasant excursion, and enable those who embrace it to enjoy the imposing view which the shores of the Saguenay display, rising in some instances precipitately twelve hundred feet from the surface of the river. A steamer of the same name will, after the beginning of June, recommence her weekly trips, calling at Malbec and Cacona.

Generar has wban- doned his intention of imposing differential duties in favor of articles imported via the St. Lawrence. The three first are of local application—one repeals all the provincial acts imposing duties on the sale of spirituous liquors, and authorizing licenses to tavern keepers, auctioneers, keepers of billiard tables,” &., in Upper Canada; also all duties commonly called excise, except those imposed on distilleries, and spirituous liquors distilled by them. Another authorizes muni- cipal councils tg substitute and collect others in the place of those repealed ; and the third requires the payment, by such municipalities, of one year’s income of the present revenue inspectors to be paid over to them. The fourth resolution declares that it is ex- pedient to reduce the specific duties on the following articles. from the present rates to to those hereinafter mentioned respectively— on refined sugar, in loaves or crushed, from fourteen to ten shillings, and on bastard and other kinds of sugar, from nine to six shillings per cwt; on molasses, from three’ shillings the ewt. to two shillings per gallon, and to repeal the specific duty now imposed upon salt. Section fifth provides that it is expedient to impose a uniform rate of duty of six pence per gallon on wine, and thirty per cent ad valorem. Sixth, that the following articles be admitted at a duty of two and a half per cent ad valorem, viz :—Caoutchouc, and cordage of all kinds; sail cloth; copper, in bars or in sheets; yellow metal, in bars or in sheets; iron, in seraps, bars, pigs, or sheets, not otherwise manufactured; bright and black varnish, pine oil, marine cement, pitch, tar, rosin, chain cables, treenails, bunting, felt, sheeting and oakum. Seventh, that seeds of all kinds be admitted free of duty, in all cases—the term seeds not to ‘mclude barley, buckwheat, bere and big. oats, rye, beans or peas. And, lastly, that it is ex- pedient to amend the provincial acts relating to the matters aforesaid, so as to accord with Thus ends the retaliatory policy of the In- epector General. and the preference which he proposed to give to the St. Lawrence route over that through the United States. from which he has evidently been driven by the storm with whioh the proposition was met by the mercan- tile interest of Upper Canada. This, however. afforded by the government to the navigation of the St. Lawrence, whith has entered into contracts for ocean sttamers to run between Quebec and Montreal and Liverpool, two of which. we observe, are advertised to sail from the latter place on the 17th of April, to leave on her return on the 14th of May; and the other will leave Liverpool on the 13th of May, ‘and gail from Quebec on the 15th June next. Bap Cumate.—It is reported that Mr. Slidell declines the mission toCentral America. Don’t like the climate. He thinks it will be better to try his chances for the seat vacated by Mr. Soulé in the Senate. If this is the case, there is now wanted a man ofa good, strong consti- tution, fever proof, to go to Central America. The sickly season is at hand there all the year round. Who volunteers? Where is Young America? ‘Talk on Abvut 1,800 Dales cotton sold, closing rather heavy. purchasers were in the market, who were purchasing the article in bond; which, on going ferward, is shipped as Owing to the vast amount of business to be | far as Albany or Troy by water, and is there warehoused done during the approaching season, it is con- | to await the opening of canal navigation, or is forwarded jectured that freights will be high on Lake On- tario. Few contracts have as yet been made; but agreements have already been entered into to carry flour from the head of the lake to Montreal for one shilling and sixpenee per bar- rel, which price, it is thought, will be reduced when the Towing Company shall have com- menced operations. The demand for iron, and other materials for railroads, will considerably augment the demand for freight, and the quan- tity of lumber in Upper Canada awaiting ship- ment to the United States is far greater than by railroad to Montreal, and other points. There was some conversation regarding the passage of Mr. Cooley’s substitute for Mr. Vanderbilt's bill for en- larging the Erie canal, and much satisfaction expressed at its passage through the Senate, and strong hopes were entertained that it would pass the Assembly. The elause which proposes to submit the resolution, ins eonstitutional form, to the vote of the people, with another directing the work to be put out anew, and given to the lowest bona fide bidder, was received with cordial approbation. The passage of the bill regarding the mock auction: cers, was considered a good measure. There was some difference of opinion respecting the Emigrant bill. Some ship owners did not wish any ad- vance in the commutation fee, to $2 per head, from $1 50, the present rate. 1t was said that the capitation tax acted as a sort of diseriminating duty on emigrants. Many of the better class indirectly paid the tax by having to pay higher rates for passage, while the money collected acted as a sort of bounty for the emigration of paupers, who would expect to be supported by the fund, on their arrival. It was said that we complain of New Jersey taxing travellers on railroads through her territory, yet we im- pose # tax on emigrants arriving in New York from Europe; and at least $1 60 per head should afford suffi- cient protection to those receiving aid, if economteally used. Others again, and among them some members of the Commissioners of Emigration, contended that the ad- vance to $2 was absolutely necessary to enable them to take care of those on hand, and to provide against future contingencies. There were objections urged against the extension of the banking basis at all—we had free banks enough—but, if it must be done, the measure ought simply to embrace New York city banks, at par value for those bearing six per cent interest.

M., the same day. The mother had heen ab- sent but a few moments, and on her return observed that her child’s clothing wax on fire. She soon extinguished the fire, when the child told her he had been drinktn, some wine from a bottle, negroes that which contain the acid. She immediately applied such remedies as were at hand to relieve the child, who soon began to feel excessive pain, and sent for a physician; but he refused to come without he was first paid—the money not being in the house bis services were not obtained.

Those who had never heard ‘Favorite’? looked reproachfully at their’ more experienced friends, as rauch as to say that they: could not account for the expectations that’ had been raised. Fortunately—after an interminable pai between the second and third acts—Beneventano restored, & certain degree of confidence, by singing “A tanta amor” in very good style. He did not perpetrate a sin- gle trembone note, and threw more feeling into his voice. than our past experience had led us to expect from him.’ This was followed by Alboni’s ““O mio Fernando,” as 2) only can sing. Audience and performers began to thaw. The best was to come, however. It was not till Sal fairly shook off his dignity, and gave the ‘‘La bella’de!

We all know the fury raging 1 in his breast at having been, as he believes, duped in‘ marrying the King’s mistress—the fatal misunderstand- ing between Leonora and himself—and the agonized re-| morse of the frail favorite. We are in breathless sus-| pense when the pent up feelings of the wretehed lover! burst forth in the cruel ‘‘ Ah! va t/invola |”? We would ‘give worlds to convince him of his error, and every max of us joins in spirit in Leonora’s piteous entreaty for par- don and.compassion. Stillhe is obdurate.

But a final pra; is beard, and the ‘Io t’amo”’—{ollowed by theunequalled| melody “Vieni, ab! vieni,” restores peace to- the broke: hearted Leonora, and dismisses the audience-with f¢ which must be felt to be understood. ‘Whe Deaf Mutes of New York—Thels Réligion-| Instruction. .
