New On.kANs, May 25, 1853, The steamahip Texas, with dates from Vera Cruz to the 22d inst., haa arrived here. She reports that on the 17th a revolution broke out there among the National Guards, im consequence of an order from government to incorporate tho Nationals with the troops of the line, The revolution lasted three days, during which business was entirely suspended. The regular troops having pos- session of both the forts, and the National Guards of the streets and city gates, brisk firing was kept up during the whole time; but the affair was finally ended on the 2th by the entrance of a large body of regular troops from Jalapa, who took fifty of the Nationals prisoners, when quiet was restored. About fifty of the National Guards were killed, and many wounded. Our dates from the city of Mexico, are to the 9th inst., at which time government was adopting severe measures sgainat all whose opinions were considered pernicious. A decree had been published for the arrest of all who served in the army during the late war; as guerillas, to be tried by court martial. A list of Mexican officers v0 surrendered as prisoners of war to General Scott, when the capital was taken, had been published, and a decree issuod degrading them from their rank in the army, and dismissing them from all civil employment. ‘The army was being re-organized and increased. Seve- ral new battalions had been created. Under the new en- listment, a National Guard is to be organized.

The New England Anti-Slavery Convention met to-day st the Melodeon. Wendell Phillins was chosen Presi- dent, with eight vice presidents, including Charles Red- mond, colored, and Eliza Kenly, both of Salem. Henry C. Wricar offered resolutions against voting or taking any part under the Constitution of the United | States, daing so being an approval of all the acts of go- vernment, Cuances C, BuRuiGH supported the resolutions against allegiance to the Constitution, and opposed voting for | officers of the United States. The central goverament i was guilty of wrong—it wasa unity, and should not be supported in word or deed. Mr. Garrison took the same ground, because he thought it was time men should ac: according to their consciences, and lend neither aid, sympathy or support to an instrument under which slavery exists. Mr. Wnicut supported the revclutons, and the freesoil party came in for a considerable amount of animadyer- sion from the opponents of the constitution. This idea was opposed by Mesers. James W. Buffum, of Lynn; Rev. Mr. Watson, of Groveland, and Mr. Baker, of New pahire, who asserted that we should exercise all our rights to the utmost, under the constitution. ‘That was the proper way, and the only way to benefit the great whole, to free the slave. Through the ballot box they should labor. Because they voted under the coasti- tution to put slavery down, they did not see how they were guilty of supporting it; but they saw a crime in neglecting to vote, and thereby lose the practical msaus Of putting an end to slavery. It was sgreed by Mr. Watson, that the South would rejoioe if tee principles of the resolutions were accepted by all the opponents of slavery, for then it would uave nothing to fear, Men swore to support the constitution, and their optnions were not to be doubted when they voted for John P. Hale, and then opposition to slavery wan fally set fourth. It was the duty ofall to use the means in their power, and not neglect the iuiluences which God had placed in their hands. The resolutions were finally referred to the Basinoss Committee. Presbyterian General Assembly. Burrato, May 25, 1853. On Monday afternoon the special committee was ap- pointed to consider matters pertaining to the slavery question, as follows :—Dr. Thompson, Rey.

SPECIAL CORRENPONDENOE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, THE MEKTING OF THE L¥GIBLATURE—THE WORK TO BE DONE. Aupany, May 24—10 P.M. Both houses met at 11 o'clock this morning, pursuant to the adjournment of the Legislature on the 15th April. Lieutenant Governor Church presided in the Senate, and Mr. Speaker Ludlow over the House. Nearly all the Senators were present, and about two thirds of the mem- bers of the House. The proceedings of both houses were continued the same as if the adjournment only occurred yesterday. There were no committees appointed in either house to apprise each other, or the Governor, that they had assembled and were ready to preceed to business, but both houses, after prayers, took up the reguiar order—the presentation of petitions, introduction of bills, &. A large number of bills were read in both houses, which only required a third reading at the time of adjournment, though very few members had retained any recollection that most of the bills had been perfected at the regular session, The members being fresh from the exhilerating breezes of the rural districts, were extremely courteous and accommodating, and allowed the passage of bills which would have been resiried had time been given for the renewal of the “harmoay”’ which will prevail, nolens volens, before the expiration of ten days. Many of the members are of opinion that all necessary business can be disposed of in two weeks. No doubt it can be done if an application to legitimate business be at once taken. But the discussion which must ensue on the canal question in the House, is not likely to ter- minate within that period. A resolution will, however, be offered, and pass the Senate, for an adjournment in about two weeks, and throwing the responsibility of a Jeotrhsed session oe the House, should the resolution there rejected. It will be recollected that the ad- journment for six weeks, and consequently the re as sembling in the summer. was caused by the abetinney of the House in not proceeding with busiziess on the 15th o: il. Renator Smith, who has been appointed’ by President Pierce, Collector of the Champlain district, was in his seat. ‘He will not take the oath of office until the final adjournment of the Legislature. ‘The House was in session three quarters of an hour ; the Senate an hour and a half, Ww. LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS—THE SENATE RESOLVED TO DESPATCH BUSINESS WITH SPEED—FLARE-UP ON THE CANAL QUESTION—RAILROAD EXCURSION CON- TEMPLATED—THE BILL TO DIVIDE THE EIGHTEENTH WARD, E10® Atpany, May 25, 1853. Both Houses met promptly at 10 o’clock this morning, and proceeded in the regular order of business. Several bills were read a third time and passed, which were ready at the adjournment—most of them of very little public importance. The resolution offered yesterday, by Senator Pierce, authorizing the adjournment of the Legislature on Thursday the th of June, was taken up, and Mr. Van Schoonhoven moved to amend by inserting Tuesday, the 7th of June, at 12 o'clock M. A discussion of some length ensued, during which it, appeared Senators felt highly desirous of a speedy adjournment. They wished to clear their skirts of all inclination to protract the ses- sion. The business could be all accomplished in forty- eight hours if members would only devote themselves to such business as the public interests only demanded. The case of Commissioner Mather, against whom the question of impeachment is pending in the in the House, came up under discussion, and Senator Williams adverted to that faet, which might require a longer session tkan projected in the resolution, for should articles of impeachment be presented, the Senate then would be required to try them. One reason for calling the extra seasiov, the Governor assigned, was this impeachment case. Mr. Babcock stated that the Senate was not required to anticipate any action upon that subject. The House has the whole matter in its own hands, and should it present articles of impeachment against Mr. Mather, or all the State officers, then the Senate would be organized as part of the court for the trial of those charges. Ina legislative capacity, this body cannotact upon the subject at all. He was in favor of an adjourpmest at the earliest possible day, and he desired that the Senate should place itself right ‘before,’ the people, and. it there is to be = protractéd session for* six months, or until the Sist of December next, let the House of Assembly take the responsibility. After a discussion of an hour, in which every speaker agreed upon leaving the Capitol at the very eurliest possible moment, the question was finally taken, and the resolution adopted, only two dis- senting—Messrs. Huntington and Jones. It was sent down to the House, and will be announced to-morrow, That body bas now the choice of despatehing business with industry, or keeping the Legislature in session for an indefinite period. Should a discussion ensue on the canal quertion, as anticipated in the House, no one can predict when it will end. The people will require some substantial reasons if a majority protract, the session ‘any longer than preposed in the resolution adopted by so strong a vote in the Senate this morning. Quite an exciting occurred this morning in the Senate, between Mr. Vancerbilt and Mr. Pierce, on the canal question, which was broken suddenly off by the arrival of the time for taking the daily recess, It was renewed in the afternoon, however, and promises to be ugain the subject of much excitement. The officers of the central line of railroads are about inviting the Legislature to take an excursion from Al- bany to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. It is expected to come off some time next week. Liberal entertainments ‘are to be provided at Utica, Syracase, Rochester, Lock- t, Black Rock, and Buffalo, in going and returning. This is geverously tendered in return for the liberality of the members, at the regular session, in allowing all the central companies to consolidate, whereby the stock of all the companies increased to a fwonderful exteat, and two or three hours time, and two dollars fare, saved to the public between New York and Buifalo. ‘The bill to divide the Eighteenth ward of the city of New York, which passed the Assembly during the regu lar session, was unspimourly passed by the Senate to- nd is as follows :-— PTO DIVIDE THE FIGHTEENTH WARD OF THE cry OF EW YORK INTO TWO WANDS. the State of New York, represented in ‘and in Asrembly, do enact ag follows :— 1. The Eighteenth ward of the city of New York is divided t line running through the contre of ‘siath atreet.

A bill was read for the relief of Henry Hall. who was injured by the breaking of # railing over a canal bridge. Mr. Bacock piney t the precedent of the bill wasa hurtful one. If the undertakes to pay for all losses occasioned by falling in the canal, the treas ury. will need replenishing. The Injury, ts not confined to laborers. Many politicians bave fallen into the canal, and have suflerea greatly Leche” Mr. Jonas, (dem)—The State of New York is not an in- surer of lite or limb, or property passing over the great highways of the canals. It provides the structures. It taker rifiiog toll, and the channel of communication is moved upon at the risk of the traveller. Mr Urnam (whig)—The State should be held responsi- ble for the acts of its agents, just as much as a railroad company should. Precedent ia but a delusive obstacle. If it be right todo a thing to-day, let it bedone. If it shall hereafter be right to do the same thing, let it then be done. A railroad company cannot screen itself. The State, by its agent, can inflict the most severe injury on lifeaud limb, and ought to be held to an equal responsi- bility. ‘Mr. Coousy (dem.) argued that it would be unjust to excuse the State from responsibility, by reason of its losing its individual character in its aggregate. ‘The bist was recommitted. Mr. Bancock moved the order of business te the table. Corried—Ayos 14, nays 7. THE PROPOSED DAY FOR FINAL ADJOURNMENT—CANAL COM- MISSIONER MATHER, ETO. On Mr. Pumce's call, the resolution for final adjourn- ment on Thursday, the 9th of June, at 3 P.M., came up. Mr. Jones considered it premature now to fix the time of adjournment. Mr. Preece, (dem. 2 pit yas the opinion in April, that if we could have had but four or five days then, the bu. siness could have been finished. Indeed, some thought twenty-four hcurs would be all sufficient. Now a fort- night must be enough. Mr. Jonrs.—How does the Senator know a fortnight will be necessary? Mr. Prsnce.—It will fix the time, and the business will be done with dispatch, instead of being drawn out ly. ‘Mr. Van Sctoonuonse, (whig) moved the 7th. Either a very short day or no fixture. Mr. Prerog accepted the amendment. Mtr. Wriaur (whig) did not believe the interest of the public required a long session, The Governor has called us together why, and for what? dt cannot be to pass the local bills. Probably he has some developements to make, for he must have some reason to make call. ‘The stick is in theother House. Their session yesterday was twenty minutes. To day the plank road and the Art Union occupy the time. He gave notice that if the ad- journment was fixed, he should insist on the adjourn- ment then taking place. Mr. Van Scuoonnoven urged gn unanimous expression of the Senate in favor of an early time of adjournment, ‘Mr. Wituams (whig) asked for information respecting the impeachment case. lt would be Ba put the Goy- ernor to the trouble of calling the Legislature again. Mr. BaBoock hoped the Senate would not prolong the session one hour. With the impeachment case we have nothing to do. It is noteven a proper subject of dis- cussion here, If articles of smpeachment are preseated, ‘the law provides what shall be done. If the Assembly see fit to impeach the whole of the State officers, when they present it to the presiding officer the le; tive du ties cease. A court 1s convened, of which the Senate is buta part. He had refrained from offiering a resolution of edjournment, because it properly becaie the frieads of the Executive so todo. The people of the State under- stand, however much the atmosphere of the Capitel may delude men, that the extra session is a direct fraud upon the Constitution. No necessity contemplated by that in- strument exists. It is a gross fraud, to which an end should be put at the eartiest moment. All the neces- sary business can be transacted in forty-eight hours. ‘The great public question of the session is in the hands of the Assembly, and the people are prepared to have ti yote taken at once. ey expect it, and demand # Legislative business acta itself. If no end is fixed, n end will come. The earliest ible period is th test tothe people. Let the Senate be tru greatest blessing to itelf, as it ought to have been when the unnecessary question of a recess was before them. Mr. Witu1ams was not to be misunderstood. He was in favor cf the very earliest adjournment, and if the im- peachment ease was not in question. and it the caus vote could be taken, as it ought immediately to be, ther was nothing to detain the Legislature one week. Mr. Concer, (dem.) reviewed the legislation last ses- sion, and contended that there was a great amount of very ywportant business which had not been acted upon in the Senate before the recess was taken. It had not been s0 perfect as to allow it to sit in cansurs on the other House. ‘The resolution was then adopted, ayes 24, nays 2. Tho pays were Messrs, Huntington and Jones ‘So the Senate resolved to adjourn on the 7th June, at 3 o’olock, P. M. THE CANALS. ‘The Canal Appropriation bills were ordered to be printed, THE CANAL REVENUE CERTIFICATES--LIGHT BEGINNING TO GLIMMER, Mr. Vanpernitt—Will the Senator from the Tenth in- form us whether the bill to authorize the payment of the canal revenue certificates became a law t Mr. Prerce—I caanot tell you. I cannot follow up the Governor. Mr. CooLry—That was a sort of lantern bill, sent fer- ward to light the way. It wase just and proper bill. If justice had been done it would have been sigued, aud ve become «law, The lantern went out because other bills were not passed—went out though it had passed both houses of the Legislature. The other bills were pending when the recess was taken for which the Sena- tor from the Tenth was so anxious. Mr. Prence.—I anxious for the recew? I voted sgainatit. Mr. Cooxy.—I know you did, while you urged others to vote for it. The Senator voted quietly againt it, while he tried to get others to go for it. Mr. Pomce.—tI shall not roply to these personalities, nor wake the Senate the araza for them. Mr. Cootey—Because I discussed the bill in regard to canal appropriations at the hour of recess, I was told I nad killed myself, but I find myself here in good condi- tion, ready to vote for all good mensures—ready to ad- journ right away. There should bea bill passed resog- nizing the payment of the interest on the canal revenue certificates as fair, and honest and honorable Mr. Prrncr—If the Governor has not signed certain bills, he can and will show to the people and the country good and sufficient reasons for his course. If gentlemen bad in good faith considered the canal appropriation law, the public works could have been sustained, and since tho recess, most abundant reasons have shown that there was pressing necessity for the passage of that bill. The money for the extension of the Black river and the Genesee Valley canals was {die in the treasury. It might have been appropriated, and it ought to have been, ‘The bad consequences of refusing to moke that sppropris- tion, have already made themselves felt along the whole line of the Erie Canal. Mr. Vanpennitt denied ail this. The non. pasmaze of the bill had nothing whatever to do with the Brie canal. ‘The constitution gives power, and there is power used, to take the money to make the repairs. Until the repairs are made, the appropriations cannot be made. The bill was only designed for the remainder. The bill was re- sistedon the ground on which he and the Senator from the First stood, and intend to stand. That infamous bill, put forward at the expiriog moments of the sexsion, sought to promote the bottom-scratebing, side tickling policy, as adverse to the enlargement authorized. The Dill was unconstitutional and void. He resisted th constitutional attempt and here Mr. V. alluded to the extraordinary tanner in which the bills had been thrust before the Senate. ‘A recess was taken till four o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. ‘The discussion relative to the Canal bill of last session was continued by Messrs. Vanderbilt and Pierce. Mr. VANDERBILT offered the following resolution :-— Whereas, in the juddgmont of the Senate, the State ought to pay interost on Canal revenue certificates, the proceeds of whlob have been received by the State, they instruct the Canal Committee to bring in bill accordingly. hn Mr. Prence’s request, the resolution lies over one ys Assembly. ALBANY, May 25, 1853. PETITIONS. Mr. Perers, (whig) of Genesee, presented two petitions to allow certain towns in Wyoming and Cattaraugus counties to subscribe to the capital stock of the Attica and Allegany Valley Railroad ; Mr. Hotmes presented one for a bridge at the outlet of Saratoga Lake.

Mr, Burnovcas, (ind dem.) of Orleans, moved to ‘ad 90 that in computation of the distance, any trac of & mile shall be connted as a mile, i Me. opposed that movion, There was in hia iy hoped it would not be done. ‘Mr. Burrovaus added to his motion, so a3 to compel all such persons as are alluded to in this bill, to make @ re- fearelit, and $0 pey for tas’ tama, peoriioa tiny bane travelled, for same, provided the; fenellod over ten talles, at the lege! sata, mare ‘After some debate, Mr. Burrovaus withdrew his mo- tion. to give way to Mr. Loomis, (dem.) of Herkimer, who moved a substi- tute repealing *‘haif toll’ entirely, and makiag persons liable for toll according to the number of miles travelled on the road, the returos to be made at the end of the year, under oath and upon demand, All fractions to be counted as miles.

THE STOCKBRIDGE INDIANS. Mr. Snaw (dem.), of N. Y., moved to refer the Stock bridge Indian Papers to the standing committee on Iadian a rried, ‘THE ART UNION INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE, Mr. Henper moved to discharge the Art Union Investi- gating Committee from their duties on that committee, Mr. Suaw was in favor of this motion. The House had imposed odious duties upon that committee, and thought they had performed their duty faithfully; still, as we had sent them upon such a useless journey, we owed them an apology for doirg s0, and he hoped therefore we should at once discharge them, and not ask them fora report. ‘They had beea tent on a vain mission, and in justice to them let us now relieve them Mr, Forsy7u, (dem.) of Albany, wanted a report from thi: mmitiee. He had been opposed to appointing a comatiten br he wanted to hear their report. . RAFLOR, (whig) of N. Y., hoped the resolution would, ere, and the thing die where it was, Mr. HAvsy trusted not. Though the Art Union might be deat, perhaps some good lessons for the living could from a history of their doings, Mr. Woop, (whig) of Onondaga, held similar views. The committee had laborod forty days and nights, and he wanted to see what the progeny would be. Mr. Bmax, (whig) of Washington, too, hela’a similar opinion. It was our right to know the result of this in. Mr. Heypxr had made lus motion to cut off the expen diture incident to printing the report, as he was satistied its publication would do nobody any good. ‘The Art Union was and so decided by our courts. He cast no im putations upon the committee. They had discharged their duties so far faithfully. Mr. Burxovcus did not understand the courts to say tbat the Art Union was defunct. It was only the old manner of distributing their prints that hai been pro- n illegal. The society was still in existence. He regarded the appointment of the committee not as « dis- grace to that comwittee. It might be that this motion to discharge them arose from other motives than those assigned, especially as it was true that this motion was made without consulting them at all. He hoped the mo- tion would not prevail. ae ‘Nosix, (dem.) of N. Y., sustained the same po- ion. ‘Mr. O'BRuN, (dem.) of Kings, moved to lay on the table. Carried. HOUR FOR ADJOURNMENT. Mr. J. Ross, (dem.) of N. Y., moved a resolution to meet at 10 o’clock, take a 1e0ess at a quarter to 2 till and then meet in afternoon session, except on Satur- when they shall meet at 9, and hold no afternoon session. ‘Mr. Pzrzrs moved to amend, so aa not to except Sa- turds; Mr. Houtzy, (whig) of Nisgara, moved an amendment apart tee hed Friday , aod Saturday of this Week, for the third reading of bills, and that during that time no one shall speek longer than five minutes, and that afternoon sessions shall close at balf-past six by Mr. Bumovcns moved to postpone the further consi- deration of this subject until Friday next, .

Mr. Burrovaus said, not only should the limit be blotted out, but we should fix prises to be paid engineers, &e., to secure the services uf good men, and should cbange the law so 43 to throw the burden of proof upon the company. ‘hey should be obliged to show that ac dents were not the result of carelessness.

SPPUIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORI MERALD. MORE APPOINTMENTS—MR. WOODBURY ACCEPTS THE BOLIVIA CHARGESHIP—MR. DIX WILL GO TO FRANCE, AND GEO. SANDERS TO LONDON, ETC. Wasmixatox, May 25—7 P.M. It is understood that the appointments for this Dis trict were under consideration in the Cabinet to day, but that nothing was definitely done with regard to them. The officers are the Marshal, District Attorney, Postmaster, Commissioner of Public Buildings, and Warden of the Peni- tentiary. The architect for the extension of the Capitol probably also comes under the category, as well as the Superintendent of Public Printing. The following ap- pointments have been made by the President :-— Julius M. Patton, Superintendent of the Branch Mint at Dahlonega, Georgia, vice Jacob Rs Davis, removed. Henry N. Sands, Surveyor of the Customs, Louisville, Ky., viee R. C. Thompson, Samuel Porter, Surveyor, Goodwin. Mr. Woodbury accepts the appointment of Charge d'Affaires to Bolivia, and this consequently leaves the Boston Post Osice open again. Jt is known that that position was offered to Mr. Woodbury, and the offer re mained for his acceptance up to the time of his foreiga appointment. There is no doubt Mr. Dix will receive the mission to France. Whatever chance Mr. Van Buren may have had of getting the position, it is now understood his appoint ment is not thought of. George Sanders will receive the London Consulate in the course of a few days. SENTINEL. DISAPPEARANCE OF THE POLITICIANS—THE FOREIGN APPOINTMENTS—RUMORED CABINET GRUMBLING— THE UNION AND RUSSIA, ETC.

The Londen Consulate is still open. ‘The Gardner case hangs fire, The jury, most likely, will have to be discharged, anda new trial ordered. Government is determined to sift it to the bottom. Secretary Marcy will be busy for some weeks filling up foreign commmsions snd instructions, We are glad to learn, however, that the affairs of Mexico will not in the meantime be overlooked, T understand there is some little sorenoss in the cabinet concerning the foreign appointments. The President, it is said, will rule the roast, and that even the Premier has to submit, though he will grumble. ‘The extraordinary article in the Union, a few days ago, eulogizing the government of Russia, was unpleasant to the administration, as the editors have, perhaps, dis- covered; otherwise it might have been supposed tho ar- ticle was intended to pave the way for the Ringgold expedition to Behrings Straits and the Russian posses- vions in that neighborhood.

Our Washington Correspondence. ‘Wasnuvaton, May 24, 1853. ‘The Foreign Appointments of Gen. Pierce—Very Interesting and Curious. ‘The catalogue of foreign appointments published in the Washington papers this morning, puts an end to the late very general anxiety and suspense on the subject, amd such a sweep has been made at plenipotentiaries, charges, and consuls, that it is only here and there that a ccmfortable berth is left to meet future contingencies. Of the first clase ministers appointed, the Hxzatp has heretofore spoken out very freely, and in a tone of libe- rality which must have proved highly satisfactory to Messrs. Buchanan, Soulé, Seymour, Gadsden, Borland, and Jobn Randolph Clay, as well as to the President and his Cabinet. Of the rest, a word or two here may uot be out of place. Mr. Peter D. Vroom, of New Jersey, for Prussia, ia = sort of compromise appointment. There were several other Jerseymen who were applicants for some publie service abroad; and io avoid disappointing any of them, as far as possible, they were all set aside, and Mr. Vroom, who was no applicant at all, comparatively, was put in as “the sop for the Jarsies.”” This rort of compromising is very frequently adopted in dispensing the spoils. The most prominent examples on record sre the nomination of Col. Polk and of Gen, Pierce for the Presidency. The whole secret of their success was that they did not stand inthe way of anybody. And so it has been with Mr, Peter D. Vroom. We understand here that Mr. Vroom can speak high Dutch pretty well, and will, therefore, be quite at home at Berlin, William Trousdale, of Tennessee, for Brazil, is also = party compromise selection, He is nota brilliant mag, but a very fast man; not a very distinguished man, but has acquired some reputation as a middling, cleveristm sort of a democrat, among “the sovereigns.” Some per- sons supposed, however, that Major Polk, brother of James K. Polk, or General Gideon J. Pillow, would get the European ministerial plum accruing to Tennessee. Mr. Trousdale will bea safe man, if not a fast man, though he is hardly equal to Professor Maury in hie understanding of the commercial facilities of the mighty Amazon. Mr. Theodore S, Fay, for Switerland, isa nice selection. He, it will be recollected, was many years ago associated with General Morris and Nathaniel P. Willis, im the edi- torial management of the New York Mirror. Since that time, however, Mr. Fay has extended his thoughts sua knowledge of things beyond the color of a lady’s eye, the cut of the most stylish dresses of @ courtly ball room, and the fit ofa new boot. He has become & very respectable diplomat—understands the languages, the politics and the politicians of the Continent, and is widely respected. as an intelligent and favorable speci nen of the Americam diplomatic corps over the water. Meantime, General Mor- ris continues on “The even tenor of his way,’ as the post laureate of the New York military, literary, and fashionable peace establishment, while Nathaniel P. Willis has bad his delicate nerves entirely destroyed by the rough handling, without kid gloves, of the merciless barbarians of these latter days. Such have been the fortunes of the original literary firm of Morris, Willis . What a world this is, to be sure! class of Charges des Affaires, Mr. Auguste Bel- mont for the Netherlands is a remarkable appointment. But it is said here that his influence among the moneyed men of Amsterdam ard the Continent will redeund to the advantage of Wall street, and of all the States and cor- rations in this country (excepting Mississippi)that may: lerire to borrow money of the rich Jews of Kurope, to build railroads, canals, &. It ix also said that he ea Thnk God! “Teis farther, ald that ghe influence of ths Porry and the Slidell families was an item in favor of Mr. Bd virginia comes in for a liberal share of ‘the dies.” There is Mr. Richard K. Meade for Sardinia, te Pou with. He was, we believe, a whig Electorin 1840, on the ticket for “Mippecance and Tyler too.” But he is none the worse for that. He isa gentlemam andascholar. Then there is Mr. Henry Denmark. He was a member of Congress from Virginia during the tremerdous warlike debates on 64-40, ‘amd made a conservative speech, in which he gave a glowing description ie ry euciale Dig ease which he saw one day at Harper's Ferry, “High up above the storm,”” But whether it was that eagle, or something clse, that caused it, Mr. Bedinger was not re-nominated by that district. So he went off and set up the practice of the law in New York city. Iu 1851, however, he returned to the valley of Virginia,’ and ran as the democratic candidate in his old district, againet Faulkner, independent Union whig, and was beaten badly, because he wes tinged toe deeply with secessioniem: Faulkner having succeeded in getting the demvcratis no- mination, there was nothing left for Mr. Bedinger than a coll by the administration. Lucky man at last! He oes to Copenhagen. Then there {s Captain Soott, who frought aga spring, thirtcen Presidential candi- dates at a single fice—he goes Consul to Rio. A a But the most important post of them is that of Mr. Shel- ton F, Leake, us Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands, Mr. Lenke has been a clever member of Co and, though a strict constructionist, we presume/ he will 00” operate with Secretary Marcy most heartily in securing the annexation of the Sandwiches, King Kamehameha, and all Four good foreign places for the Old Dominion. Thus much for having started the ball for Franklin Pierce at Baltimore. Who can say now that the General does not remember his friends? Charles Woodbury, fcr Bolivia, is good; Jackson, (Union man, and relative of Goy. Cobb,) of good; Bissell, of Iitinois, for Buenos Ayres, is that military country, always in hot water, and Bis- sell was a colonel—a gsliant, fighting colonel—in the Mexican war. He is not a large man, but he is keen, and pluek to the backbore, A military man for Buenos is the very thing that was wanted. But we must not forget our old editorial friend, Sana Medary, of the Ohio Statesman, for Chili The whole eci- torial corps must endorse him, and there is a branch of tbe Ohio democracy that will be glad to get him off to bapa America, because he would whip them iato the races. = the son of Robert Owen, the socialist, and, in his yout days at least, was a disciple of the old gentleman, ants collatorateur with Fanny Wright. He published, at one time, in his own proper name, # very extraordinary and anti-scriptural book on “Natural Physiology;”’ and every- body knows that the anti-Malthusian doctrines of thet scientific work are utterly unfit for the climate of Naples. Yet, of the sixty-six candidates for Naples, incl Major Polk, (who was the Charge there once before,’ Mr. Owen was appointed. But Mr. Owen isa man of un- usual learning and abilities, He is an architect—vide the Smithsonian Institution and the big work on that subject. He ix a post—see his melodrama of Pocahontas,” and his fugitive poems, of which the following is a versicle:— “Ns home where’er the heart is, Where’er its living treasures dwell, In palace or in prison walls, In cottage or in hermit’s cell,”” Heis a pois of t experience and abilities, and has lately redeemed himself from the unpopularity of hia mstrimonial guide, engrafting upon the new constitution fy independent rights; tn the holding of property, eg ry independent rights, " Ins word, Mr. Owen is one of the perteduchion a0 ‘most talented of Gen. Pierce’s diplomatic corps, though by mo means the handsomest man among them. ‘Handsome is as handsome doon;”’ and we have great faith in Robert Dale’s capacity to fulfil all the duties, direct or contin- gent, which may fall upon the Charge to Naples. The Mat of consuls affords a fine field for a separate let ter. The appointment of Edwin De Leon, one of the edi- Southern tors of the late petite en ee ee secessionists—as Consul to xandria, in shows that in contog tu with the Daltitooee ebestngtion tr eee in gocd time.
