Our special despatches from Washington this morning announce that Gen. Pierce has been for- mally advised of the acceptance of the Collectorship of this port by Judge Bronson, and the District Attorneyship by Chas. O’Conor, Esq. So the long agony is positively over at last. We are assured that mone but the most friendly relations exist between Hon. Pierre Soulé and Senor Calderon, the Spanish Minister at Washington—ergo, all doubts as to the acceptability of the former gentleman at the Court @f Madrid are removed. Foreign missions possess no attractions in the eyes of Col. Benton. He is deter- mined to serve his term of two years in the House of Representatives. . Great commotion was produced at Harrisburg yesterday, by the arrival of the members of the Ma- ryland Legislature, who came at the solicitation of, and were cordially entertained by, their brethren of | ‘he Pennsylvania Legislature. Arthur Spring was yesterday sentenced to be hung for the murder of the two women in Philadel- phia. Prior to the pronunciation of the awful doom, ‘the Judge permitted the unfortunate man to make a wpeech, in which he again declared his entire inno- cence and accused his son of being the author of the erime. He received his sentence with the utmost composure, and expressed a willingness to die. To- morrow, if possible, we shall give the speech of the Prisoner, together with the sentence pronounced by Judge Kelly. ‘The report of the City Inspector shows that seventy- Sour men, seventy-one women, one hundred and bbundred and sixty-six—compared with the aggre- gate number returned as haying died during the foregoing seven days, shows a very pleasing and marked decrease of twenty-four deaths. This sani- tary improvement is mainly attributable to the mild weather we have lately enjoyed. The character of the prevailing diseases remains unchanged. Fifty- five adults died of consumption, and thirty-five of the ‘various fevers. That of the scarlet type proved fatal totwelve. Fifty-two persons died ofsevere inflamma- tory disorders—the lungs being affected in twenty-four cases and the pericardium in one. The list of sudden deaths and fatal casualties is large. Five died of apoplexy, one of rupture of the heart, three were drowned, and four were killed by burns and scalds. From the infant population, twenty-one were car- Tied away by dropsy in the head, nineteen by ma- rasmus,and eighteen by smallpox. One hundred and four were under one year of age, and two hun- dred and twenty-three had not reached to ten. Two hundred and fifty two of the entire number were na- tives of the United States, seventy-two came from Treland, twenty-one from Germany, one from Bo- hhemia, and the remainder from other distant countries. The adjourned meeting of the morocco leather finishers and shavers was held last evening. Several shops were reported from, and, in the majority of instances, favorably. The journeymen pianoforte makers also met yesterday, and resolved to forma protective union for the trade. Another meeting will be held next Thursday for the purposes of ar- rangement. We have full reports of the’ proceedings of the above named artizans, but they are unavoida- bly crowded out this morning. In connection with much other interesting reli- gious information, we to-day publish accounts of the ‘ceremony of consecrating the new Jewish synagogue im Clinton street, last Friday, and the new Calvary eborch in Williamsburg, yesterday morning, by Bishop Wainwright, assisted by several of his reve- rend colleagues. The Collins steamship Pacific is about due, with Sour days later advices from Europe. The Administration and the Contract Huck- stering System. The regular expenses of the government are now not lees than fifty millions a year; and yet, with the comparatively low tariff of 1846, the Treasury is kept full to overflowing. General Pierce commenced operations with a surplus on hand of come thirteen or fourteen millions. The California mines grow richer the more they are worked. and the domestic products of the coun- try have increased, and are increasing, without any fear of being diminished. We can afford to be liberal in our national expenditures—we may even be lavish and extravagant with the public money, when the supplies are so plentiful; but still, there is always danger, under any cireum- stances. and to any government, in giving a Joose rein and a free hand to those corruptions of hucketering and jobbing. and the farming out of fat contracts, which, from time immemorial, have borne so heavily upon the tax paying peo- ple of other countries, We are gratified, therefore, to learn that the Galphin system of awarding private claims, and the system of letting Jight- houre contracts, and in purchasing up the stocks of the government in behalf of the government, through private agencies pocketing a fortune ina single operation—are to be stopped—absolutely stopped. This is good; and if the report he true that certain Ca- lifornia contracts respe@ing the mint, the eus- tom house, &., have all been annulled, and will be re-opened for competition, under such regulations that no money can be made out of them by the contract-brokers an! their agent notwithstanding the outery that may be rai 1 gainst these p. oceedings, they wii be lial by the country at try every four y second campaign for the Presidency, to wit.: retrenchment and reform. Gen. Pierce has a large field before him for this work of lopping down the huckstering and brokerage which have crept into all sorts of contracts with the government. In the jobs and supplies for the War and Navy Departments; in our treaties with the various Indian tribes; in a variety of financial expenditures in the new | territories; in the large appropriations which have been made to California. and which here- after will necessarily be extended also to Oregon; in the Post Office transportation; in the multi- faricus business of the Department of the Inte- rior; in the vast and complex machinery of the Treasury and Sub-Treasury departments; in the confidential transactions of the Department of State, to say nothing of the loose and bung- ling legislation of Congress, there is a splendid schedule of matters and things, involving the disbursement and the loss or saving of hun- dreds of thousands, and even millions, of dol- lars, calling for the practical enforcement of the sound and wholesome doctrines of retrenchment and reform. What contributed to bring into public con- tempt the administration of Martin Van Buren, as much or more than anything else, always ex- cepting the grand financial revulsion of 1836-7, ’38.and 39? It was the reckless extravagance of the Florida war, and the shocking list of official defalcations. for which he was justly accounted responsible. What was it that made the other- wise comparatively fair and honest administra- tion of John Tyler a thing of public derision, and Jobn Jones, his organ grinder at Washing- ton, as amusing as “Monsieur Tonson come again?” It was the open and persevering at- tempt of the said John Tyler to build ups party upon the basis of the government patron- age. What was it that hurried Gen. Taylor to his grave, and that hurled his cabinet with such telling emphasis from power? It was Galphin- ism, Chickasaw, Florida, and Mexican claims. And what is it that the generally prudent, and always amiable, Mr. Fillmore has bequeathed as a special lesson to his successor? Itisa warning to beware of a loose, and free and easy disbursement of the publie moneys, public jobs, and public contracts, through the personal or party favorites of government officials, at the public expense. Now, we verily believe that General Pierce is an honest man—honest, not only as the world goes, but conscientiously honest in his endorsement of the Baltimore platform. We venture to say that he regards it not merely as a bit of clap-trap, which had served its purposes for Buncombe in securing his election, but as binding him, in truth and in deed, to carry out, as far as possible, the principles there laid down, including even those old fashioned notions of retrenchment and reform. Let him stick to it. Let him carry out these “ old fogy” ideas. Let him take care of the public money, and cut down the pickings and stealings to so smalla margin that the legitimate pursuits of private business will be almost as attractive as govern- ment jobs. and contracts to office holders. or their friends, or their agents, and the largest leak of official cupidity, delinquincies, and de- falcations, will be stopped up. at least-for a eoacan And let the administration remember this —that the people expect it to do some- thing—to do, in fact, a great many good things. They expect a positive, and not a nega- tive, administration. Therefore, until we shall have the engrossing duties of a general war thrown upon our shoulders, or the interesting work of annexation and acquisition in full operation, let General Pierce do his best to meet the public expectation in the whole- some business of retrenchmént and reform. When a tree becomes sickly we must put in the pruning knife and carve away the rotten branches. Nothing like it. Wuat Witt Queen Isanet Say To Mr, Sovte’—The self-constituted organ of the Spanish government in this city, thinks that if the said government has any re- spect for itself, Mr. Soulé, the newly appointed minister to that court, will be rejected without much ceremony. Well, we shall soon have the verification or falsification of this prophecy. Mr. Soulé goes over to Spain as the representative of the government of the United States and the present administration. He will carry with him to Spain the instruc- tions of the President ; and that these instruc- tions will be in perfect accordance with the in- augural address, and the policy therein laid down in regard to our international obligations and duties, there cannot be a shadow of doubt. Nor is there an incident, or an accident, in the whole course of the political career of Mr. Soulé in conflict with the views upon our foreign relations, so clearly and satisfactorily expressed by Gen. Pierce. That Mr. Soulé is an advocate of that broad policy which comprehends the early acquisition of Cuba, through such means as shall be entire- ly consistent with our national good faith and integrity, and fair established character for dealing, no man will pretend to deny. Nor is it hardly necessary to demy that he will go to Madrid as the flaming fire-brand of the Creole refugees of the Cuban Junta and the mysterious order of the Lone Star. It is simply preposte- rous to suppose that the Cabinet at Washington could so far stultify itself, and belie its most solemn protestations. of good faith, in the ap- pointment of a filibustero to the court of Queen Isabella. Our Cabinet is well aware that not only Spain, but that England and France, have a jealous and vigilant eye upon us in regard to Cuba. Gdheral Pierce, too, has a sufficient title to the elementary principles of common sense to understand pretty clearly that his po- licy with Spain is not the blustering policy of intimidation. The mighty position of internal and external power which this great nation holds among the nations of the earth, renders the policy of the bravado not only unnecessary, but unwise, on our part, in the highest degree. A generous confidence, a spirit of conciliation, anda large margin of liberality aad magaa- nimity, constitute the leading principles of our foreign policy, especially in our dealings with any nation of whove weakness, were we dis- posed to be unjust, we might take the advan- tage of superior strength. Itis not the pur- pore, we are quite sure, of this administration to deviate from this policy with regard to Spain. It has no design nor desire to extort coerce a surrender by the strong arm cannot justly secure a desirable concession. Guided by these principles. in the ay ment of Mr. Soulé, we doubt not that th he duly reciprocated by Spain, in giving him a co} it and cordial reception. On the other } hand, we ae noi disposed Lo believe that, foun take any exception to thia gentleman. Under ‘all the circumstances and considerations re- sulting In his selection, should he, from any un- expected caprice or misconception on the part of the Court of Madrid, be refused that gene- rous reception to which he is fairly entitled, that act will tend, we venture to assert, rather to the prejudice of Spain than to the discredit of our minister, or the intentions of the admi- nistration by whom he has been appointed. But we have no fears of any such misfortune. England, France and Spain have had abun- dance of proof of the strict integrity of this government, and of its policy and intentions in reference to the broad question of annexation. They have every reason to give full credit to the professions of this administration, and to its representatives appointed under them. Nor will Spain, in reference to her own pecu- liar interests, be likely to take any step which may hazard the existing relations of goodwill and friendship subsisting between her supreme authorities and our government, with- out first consulting at least the cabinets of Eng- land and France. In this view, and indepen- dently of this view, we anticipate a flattering and welcome reception to Mr. Soulé by the Court and Cabinet and Cortes of Spain. Let the belligerent prophecy of our Spanish co- temporaries, and this prediction, go together. A month or two will probably settle the question. Tue Urs anp Downs or Potrticrans.—An amusing and instructive volume might be writ- ten upon the ups and downs of politicians. Martin Van Buren. and Captain John Tyler, the lucky, might be very properly placed at the head of the interesting catalogue of remarkable cages. The advent of the present administra- tion, also. turns up some very interesting speci- mens. We find ex-members of the House and ex-members of the Senate of the United States among the applicants for, and appointments to, the little subordinate offices of the federal go- vernment. Thus, we find Daniel Sturgeon, for- merly a United States Senator of twelve years standing, advanced backwards to the quiet post of Treasurer of the Mint at Philadelphia; and B. B. French, formerly Clerk of the House of Representatives at Washington, at $3,000 a year, promoted recently to a clerkship for signing land patents, at fifteen hundred dollars per annum, But perhaps the most remarkable case of the recent curious applications for office, and which is still pending on the docket of the Postmaster General for settlement, is the ap- plication of Hon. Wm. J. Brown, of Indiana, for the post of a travelling mail agent in the West. Mr. Brown, some four years ago, was a member of Congress, and a rather prominent one in his way, and came within one vote of being elected Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives. But at that point there was sprung upon the House a charge of collusion against Mr. Brown, with the free scilers, And “that’s the way his fall rose.” There was a recoil; and Mr. Brown from that Congress re- tired to private life. or the next thing to it— the editing of a political paper in Indians. Now we find him a candidate for the modest post ofa mail agent. Rumor, too, has it that Senators Bright and Pettit are, pro or con, Tatniteses canst bie: cm marci go DR Sie eri te mpplt cation. Let Mr. Brown strike higher. “ It will never do to give it up so, Mr. Brown! It will never do to give it up so.” Talk on ’Change. With the exception of a good demand for provisions, with an upward tendency in prices, there was nothing in trade yesterday deserving of xpecial remark. The strike going on in Great Britain had spread to the iron furnaces, and particularly to those of Scotland which would likely affeet the price of pig iron. The last sales of Scotch pig afloat were made at $28 per ton, and at $40 in the yard, four months. As high as there figures appeared, they might yet rule higher. A merchant whose house received large consignments of Scotch pig, stated that they bai received notice from their corres- pondents to sell no more iron until further orders. They wished to ascertain the effect produced on the foreign market before making further sales, No class of manufacturers could better afford to pay higher wages than those in the iron business. Wages, until the recent emigration to Australia, had ruled very low in the iron districts, both in Scotland and England. If the strikes commenced in New York extend- ed to the iron districts, the movement would also affect the value of the American article. Hence, the couclu. sion was that they were likely to act unfavorably upon railroads in the course of construction, as well as upon others projected, or about being commenced. The en- hancement in iron would augment materially their cost, and thus give finished and operating roads great advan- tages over them, especially when attempted to be built as competing roads. While it would check the projec- tion of new roads, it would increase the value of proper- ty in the old. It was considered fortunate that the Hud- son, Harlem, and New Haven roads were built before the great rise in iron, otherwise those works would not have een constructed, or have been greatly delayed in their completion. ‘There was some conversation regarding the course of the London merchants, in expressing to Louis Napoleon their wishes for a continuance of peace between England and France, who, disclaiming all right or desire on the part of the English to interfere, in any form of government the people of France might feel disposed to establieh, appealed to the wonderful pro- gress made by enlightened nations in all the elements of Progress and civilization, as the result of the forty years of peace. Opinions differed as to the propriety of the address, but its sentiments were fully approved. The time had passed for aggressive wars between civi- lized nations. People could no longer be driven like cattle into fields of slaughter, at the caprice of a feudal lord, a rapacious or vindictive prince. It was now a question who were to pay for wars, Not the visionary in his closet, or adventurer upon troubled waters, seeking advantage in change. The people had acquired vast pro- perty, with intelligence, in the forty years peace. They had built vast commercial fleets, spread mail steamers around the world, erected great manufactories, subdued wilds into cultivated fields, built large and flourishiag cities, and spread telegraphs and )ailroads over continents. The people would, if war came, have, as formerly, to pay for it. But, now, they have vastly more to lose; and hence no future war cou’d be commenced or long main$ tained without their sanction. They had come to see that the great triumphs of peace were a thousand fold more glorious and beneficial than war. Owing to the great increase in shipping, and particu- larly that called into existence by the California and other foreign trade, berth room at the docks has become greatly restricted; and merchants complained that yos- sels arriving from the West Indies and other ports, were forced to go to unreasonable distances up the North and East rivers, in order to discharge heavy goods, to bo cart- ed down town for storage or shipment, at a heavy ex- pense. They thought the city might do something to re- medy the evil. Tux ToraTnes—During the past week the rospective places of amusement were well patronized.

HOMICIDE AT FEA—ABREST OF THE PERPETRATOR, AND INQUISITION OF THE CORONER. Coroner Gamble yesterday morning held an inquest at the Second ward police 1 e body of a colo: man, named Miller, ‘hese death occurred on Thursday night last, on board the ship American Con- gress, while on her passage {rom London to this port, in consequence of a fraeture of the skull caused by from belaying pin, in the hands of Michael Feardon, « passenger on board the vessel.

He was picked up insensible, and conveyed to the residence of his distrersed parents, ving in Thirty fourth street, near Tenth avenue, where he died in a few hours. Previous to his death, he was attended by Dr. Kiersted, who wanted the fractured limb to be amputated; but to this the pa- rents of the deceased objected. ‘The jury returned the foliowing verdict:—'That the de- ceared Michacl McQuade came to his death by injuries receive’ by food ng Hudson River Railroad ‘cars acei- dentally run over him.”” oe leceased was 14 years of age, and born in New ‘ork.

TuRNOUT OF THE COAL SHOVELLERS ror Hiarer Wace. — On Friday afternoon the conl shovellers, to the number of £00 cr 600, turned out in procession in consequence of the refusal of the employers to increase their wages to the standard demanded, ‘This class of laborers, it appears, have heretofore been in the reeeipt of ove dollar per day, but “in consequence of the high price of provisions,” &e., they came to the conclusion to demand $1 50 por dey, or two shillings per hour. The workmen at Hendrick son's yard, corner of Front and Bridge atrects, set tho ball in motion, and, forming in line, marched the whole length of the water front, and all through the city, wherever a coat yard was to be found. Every man they’ saw at work was Tequested to knock off, which, in almost every in- stance, ¥as complied with, and the’ procession swelled ia numbers at every yard they halted.
