The spirits of the members of the New York Le- gislaturef seem in some measure, to be governed by the mercury in the thermometer. Yesterday was quite 2 warm day, and consequently some of our legislators became quite heated in the course of the exciting debates on the canal question in the Assem- bly, and the bills to exempt the New York Assay Office from taxation; to allow Utica to subscribe to the stock of the Waterton Railroad, and Mr. Loomis’ scheme of general taxation, in the Senate. The pungent little controversy between Senators Cooley and Conger, particularly, was quite refreshing. A variety of subjects were discussed in the Senate, and alarge number of unimportant bills were passed; bat nearly all the day was consumed by the Assembly in debating Mr. West's proposition to amend the consti- tation, in order to effect the completion of the public works. For a full explanation of this measure, which it is surmised will pass, the reader is referred to the letter from our special correspondent. A general meeting of the friends of the Erie Canal enlargement was held in Rochester, on Thursday evening. Among the resolutions adopted was one urging the Legislature to provide for the amendment of the Constitution in such manner as will enable the State to borrow money upon the faith of the canal revenue certificates for the completion of the works. Any resort to taxation for such purpose is earnestly protested against. Our Washington correspondent to-day has some- thing to say concerning the grumbling among the successful as well as unsuccessful office-seeke: The first class is disappointed because the offices do not eome up to their expectations, and the second be- cause their claims have been entirely overlooked. Mr. Buchanan, it is surmised, will leave for England im- mediately. Secretary Marcy has turned his atten- tion to the reciprocal free trade and fishery questions. | He is represented as having been entirely too busy yesterday to attend the cabinet meeting. Mr. Meade, it is thovght, will get the post of Comuntssioner to China, in order to satisfy the desires of the Virginians for a full mission, and Mr. Foresti is sure of the Genca Consulship. The Navy Department announces that a bounty of thirty dollars will be given to able, and twenty dollars to ordinary seamen, who enlist in the navy after Wednesday next. The State Department at Washington has given notice that Great Britain complains that wild cattle have been killed and other depredations committed by the Americans at the Falkland Islands, in conse- quence of which a force has been sent thither to protect the inhabitants and their property. We learn by telegraph that the British war steamer | Argus has arrived at Halifax and will sail without delay for the Gulf of St. Lawrence for the purpose of | protecting the colonial fishermen. She is to be fol- Jowed by another steamer and several sailing vessels. Between the fishery troubles in the East and the extraordinary movements of Santa Anna in the South, we are apparently destined to have lively | times before a great while. ‘The returns of the election held in Virginia last Thursday, indicate that there will be little or no change, so far as concerns the political represent « tion in Congress. Many of the whig candidates for local offices have gained considerably upon the vote at the previous election. The committee appointed by the Connecticut Le- gislature to investigate the cause of railroad acci- dents have profited by our exposition of the unsound condition of the Cos Cob bridge, and, after a tho rough examination of the structure, have reported that it is necessary that it should be repaired. The engineer of the road coincided with them in this opinion. The Senate promptly passed a resolution ordering the bridge to be repaired immediately. A despatch from Baltimore gives credence to a rumor that two more of the Irish patriots who were exiled to Van Dieman’s Land have made their es- cape, and may be shortly expected to arriv the Atlantic States. One of the fugitives is Mr. O'Dono- hue, who was one of the leading spirits in the ex- citement of 1648. He was sentenced, in company with Messrs. T. F. Meagher, John Mitchel, Kevin Izod O'Doherty and Terence Bellew McManus. The Legislative Council of Canada has passed a bill for the increase of representation in the Legisla. ture. Dates from Buenos Ayres to the 2d of April an- mounce that the city was still beseiged, and that there had been no change in political affairs. Ur. quiza was suppoged to be averse to the treaty agreed tipon by the peace commissioners, and it was feared he would join the besiegers. The bark Inca arrived yesterday with advices from Rio Janeiro to the 4th inst., at which time the yellow fever was still raging to a fearful extent among the shipping at that port. After a carefo! examination of our files of foreign journals, we find little of interest besides what is con- tained in the very entertaining letters of our London and Paris correspondents, to be found on another page. The Britivh Parliament was still in session, and the Aberdeen government was well sustained in both branches of tle legislature. Various commit. tees of the House of Commons had disclosed, in their reports, the very large ainount of electoral and revreseatative corruption which prevailed at the late elections. Crowds of the aristocracy and gentry were leaving England to visit the Dablin exhibition. The latest letters of the correepondents of the London journals, dated at Paris, agree in representing the existence of a growing indifference amongst the members of the Chambers of Deputies and Peers towards the imperial dicta of the Emperor. It is also aid that this feeling is entertained by many leading Frenchmen, and that it has perva- ded more than one of the neighboring European courts to such an extent that the writer—an English- man we suppose—assumes that Louis Napoleon will soon be a parvenw monarch in reality. The effec” tive strength of the Belgian army had been sanc- tioned at one hundred thousand men. The papers contain what purports to be a testamentary docu- ment of Peter the Great of Russia, which is said to foreshadow the dearest Eastern policy of that great monarch. In Holland, the Internuncio of the Pope and his adherents maintained that the late ecclesi- astical arrangements of his Holiness were quite ac- ceptable to the people, whilst the reformed church and radical party as strenuously asserted that his in- terference was repugnant to their consciences and unendarable. ‘Italy presented an appearance of calm. Railroad, finance, and commercial improve- ments met the daily attention of the court and cab- inet of Spain. By reference to the telegraphic synopsis of the pro- ceedings it will be seen that great excitement was yesterday produced in the Episcopal Convention at Baitimore, by Bishop Whittingham’s letter condemn- ing the Rey. Dr. Johns for having preached in a Methodist charch. ‘The Methodist Episcopal Conference held two ses- sions yesterday at their church in Allen street. During the afternoon session the charges preferred by the Rev. Mr. Pease against the committee, (be- fore which he had been on trial for immorality, &c.,) for infringing certain rules of discipline of the M. E. Church, and refusal te admit evidence in his favor, was commenced, and will probably occupy some days. When this investigation is concluded, the re- port of the committee accusing Mr. Pease of appro- priating money to which he was not entitled will come up for discussion. See our report elsewhere. Quite an angry and spirited debate upon the slavery question is reported to have taken place yes- terdey in the Presbyterian General Assembly. See the despatch from Buffalo. @In addition to the Enropean news, our inside pages to-day contain a graphic report of the pro- ceedings of the Anti-Slavery Convention in Boston; Prospects of the Southern Crops; Commercial, Legal, Theatrical, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, ec. The Progress of Russia In Asia—Shall the World Become Cossack t A game of chess is now being played on which the eyes of thinking men are anxiously fixed. The combatants are the two greatest powers of Europe, the board the continent of Asia, and the stake the sovereignty of some four or five hundred millions of souls. It was commenced long since, but thus far fortune has hardly shown any decided preference to either side. On both, unimportant successes have been followed by trivial checks, and the shrewdest observer could not have foreseen a few months ago to which victory would lean. Neither had ventured on a direct attack. The shock of war was yet to come; and the skill of both was ab- sorbed in preparing for its advent. England had effectually crushed the native tribes on the northeastern frontier ofher Eastern possessions. Her troops had overrun Cabul, and a picked force occupied the neighborhood of Peshawur. An occasional recontre with the mountaineers on the north terminated to her advantage. and served both to whet the ardor and revive the diseipline of her soldiers. On the west, an auspicions pretext enabled her to push forward into Burmah. Despite the blun- ders of her generals, the British flag had ascended the Irawaddy, and while the artillery battered Rangoon and menaced Ava the Governor-General had calmly traced out on the map a new frontier, comprising within the British dominions nearly the whole of Barmah and the littoral as far as Penang. Reforms subetantial and practical, had been introduced into the colonial government. A fresh stimu- | lous had been given to trade and agriculture. and the enrolment of sepoys and native militia had proceeded with vigor. No symptoms of relaxation in the British grasp of India could be discerned. On the contrary. in every move- ment the firm resolution to advance instead of | receeding was conspicuous. Nor did events presage a disappointment for her hopes. Aftghan ferocity had succumbed to European discipline, and it was obvious that. if the Queen’s deputy chose, Aff¢hanistan and Beloo- chistan would soon follow the Punjaub, and the red cross wave on the very borders of Persia. The tremendous Himalayas might interfere a temporary barrier; but the Burmese peniasular once under the yoke the road to China was open, and the rich provinces of the south, dis- organized, disaffected. and distrustful of their | own government, offered an easy prey to the invader. Meanwhile, with less show but not less ac- tual activity, Russia bad evinced a masterly ekill in the arrangement of her plans. While England was strengthening her position on the south, Russia resolved to encroach upon Cen- tral Asia on the north. Three points were chosen as vulnerable. One was on the fron- tier separating Siberia trom China, near longi- tude 110 degrees. The second was on the bor- ders of the Sea of Aral. The third was a port in the northern waters ofthe Caspian. To these three points expeditions. which set forth with the ostensible purpose of exploring, but which were really small armies, had been despatched. The first was ready at a moment’s warning to pour down on Mongolia and the northern Chi_ nese provinces. The second had vessels and boats fully equipped to ascend the rivers flow- ing into the Sea of Aral, and would march through Bokhara to Thibet, and the Chinese border on the west; while the third was ready to operate a diversion by arresting the progress of England in the Punjaub. Independently of these expeditions, a larger military and naval force had been assembled on the home fron- tier than Russia had been able to muster in 1812. Difficult as it is to ascertain the real movements and intentions of the government of the Czar, these matters were well known to politicians, and their net results were anxious ly looked for. As we said, the skirmishes which have hither- to taken place between the rivals have been inimportant, and success evenly divided. If Palmerston defeated Russian intrigue in Cabul, the Czar hoodwinked the English in Turhestan. If British influence has been para- mount at Pekin, the Russians bave been the most popular among the mountain tribes in Bokhara. Russia has tightened her hold of Turkey until extrication has become almost lees; but Sir Stratford Canning has op a bold front to her designs, and succeeded ing a sort of manly courage even into Such were, until a few weeks ago, the state and prospects of the antagonists. The Chinese rebellion has changed the face of affairs. With the rapidity which usually characterises the Rassian government, an envoy. with extraor- dinary powers, was despatched to Pekin a# toon a# the newe reached St. Petersburg At our last accounts he was at Kiachta, on the borders of the empire, where one of the “ex- ploring parties” we have mentioned are mus- tered. Meanwhile, the Emperor of China had acknowledged his inability to cope with the in- surgents, and appealed to this country, Great Britain and Russia, for succor. So far as we are concerned. the appeal was of course futile. England will take so long to make up her mind and despatch troops to the scene of action that the conflict will probably be over before she has come to a determination. Russia is already on the borders, asks for nothing better than an opportunity to interfere, and could quell the insurrection in a few wecks, Opposed to such miserable foes as the Chinese, the well-trained bands of Cossacks would be invincible, and the kingdom, tapped at Kiachta, would be overrun by the men of the north in a few weeks. The mind loses itself in wonder when it is suffered to speculate on such themes as the pro- bable results of Russian intervention in China. Forty thousand Cossacks—who could be taken from the standing army of Russia without being missed—would not only restore the Emperor and crush the rebels, but would retain the gov- ernment and the country in their own hands in spite of all the Chinese in the empire. Their arrival at Pekin would be tantamount to the conquest of China. Russia would thus come into possession of a province containing about one half the whole population of the globe. Vast as are the Eastern possessions of England, they would sink into the dimensions of a petty colony when compared with the Russian pro- vince of China. Added to his present domi- nions, the Czar would find himself the sove- reign of more than half the habitable earth; a foe that could cope singly on equal terms with all the other nations of the world. It is many years since an able writer and a profound thinker announced that Russia was destined to overrun Asia and raise that conti- nent to its ancient rank in the world. What- ever events lie hidden in the womb oftime, it is certain that the prediction will either be tri- umphantly verified or clearly proven false within a short period. Either contingency will be momentous. We are apt to contemplate a subject so remote without a vestige of feeling or passion: most of our readers would see with tolerable indifference the restoration of the Chi- nese Emperor, or even the division of Asia, like a second Poland, between the European powers. They reserve their sympathies for subjects nearer home. The United States, however, cannot remain indifferent to Russian progress in Asia. With the inevitable project before us ofa deadly struggle between despotism and democracy, in which Russia will obviously re- present the former and we the latter, every movement which brings our future foe nearer to cur doors is entitled to careful attention, It may be that that great battle will be fought on the Pacific. American Inland and Maritime Exploring Expedite We publish to-day the conclusion of our in- teresting sketches of the expeditions and ex- plorations organized and carried out under the auspices of our government, and by private individuals cr companies, in different parts of the country. It is the first time that a com- plete history of these important enterprises has heen presented to the public. We desired to show, that while England and France had fitted out ‘expeditions to almost every part of the world, cur countrymen had penetrated the most unfrequented regions, in search of geogra- phical and other ecientific information, and that the United States was second to neither in the extent of her investigations or the importance of her discoverice. A distinguished citizen of New York rivalled in liberality and benevo- lence the English government, and now we find him, with a generosity seldom equalled, and a tenacity of purpose which never shrinks before difficulties, engaged in preparing. at his own expense, another expedition to the Arctic re- gions. Such instances of liberality can never be too highly appreciated. At present there are a large number of expe- ditions on foot, which promise to be productive of the most important results. That to Japan, of which we have already given an account, will, it is confidently predicted, open to the commerce and trade of the whole world the tweasures of that empire, while it will also greatly facilitate and enlarge our present limit- ed intercourse with Asia. South America, which has hitherto been imperfectly mapped out, is now in a fuir way of being overrun with explorers, and her immense rivers have been opened to the merchant and the navigator. Some of the most intelligent officers of our navy are employed in the noble and humane work of discovering the shoals and rocks that lie in the way of the unsuspecting mariner; while the most enterprising and talented officers of the army are engaged in opening new routes through the wildest and most unfrequented por- tions of our own continent. With these proofs of the daring enterprise and love of research by which our countrymen are distinguished, we can justly claim the first rank among the nations for the extent and importance of our geographi- cal explorations and scientific discoveries. The following list of maritime and inland exploring expeditions fitted out by our government and private enterprise, is the best proof that can be furnished of our title to that position : MARITIME EXPLORING EXPEDITIONS. 1.—Pendleton’s Exploring Expedition +o the Southern Hemirphere. 2.—Wilkes’ Expedition to the Southern Seas. 2.—Lynch's Expedition to the Dead Sea, 4—First Expedition to the Arctic Regiens io search of fir John Franklin. 5,—Expedition to Japan, under Commodore Perry. 6.—Ringgold’s North Pacific Surveying Expedition. 7,—Second Expedition to the Aretic Regions 8,—Expedition of Lieuts. Lee and Barryman, to ascer- tain the position of some dangerous rocks and shoals in the Atlantic between the United States and Europe. INLAND EXPLORING EXPEDITIONS. 1.—Grey’s Discovery of the Columbia River. 2.—Expedition of Lewis and Clarke across the Rocky Mountains. 2.—Pide’s Expedition to the Source of tle Mississippi 4.—Long’s Expedition to the Source of the St. Peter's River. 6.—Schooleraft’s Expedition to the Mississippi, and Commission to the Sioux and Chippewa Indians. 6.—Herndon’s Expedition to the Amazon. 7.—Parker’e Expedition beyond the Rocky Mountains. 8.—Expedition of Traders from New Orleans to Santa a —Fremont’s Expedition across the Rocky Mountains to California, 10,—Gerera) Kearney’s Expedition from Missouri to California. 11.—Journey of Lieutenant Beale to California, 12.—Captain Reno’s Expedition to survey a military road, from the mouth ef the Big Bioux on the upper Mis- rouri, to the mouth of the St Peters. 13 —The Boundary Commission to New Mexieo, under Dr. Bartlett, 14.— Expedition to explore the various routes to the Pacific. 15.— Lieutenant Page’s Expedition to Sout’) America. 16.—Co}, Ramray’s Exploration of Mexico. \7.— Expedition to discover a central route to the Pacific. 18 —Jones’s Expedition through the Rocky Mountains. 19.—Lieut. Gillis’s Expedition to Chill. 20.—Expedition to Senora. The brig Advance. which has been fitting out for the second expedition to the Aretic regions, under the direction of Dr. Kane, will be hauled out into the stream on Monday megaing, and anchor astern of the Sardinian frigate, prepa- ratory to leaving for the Polar seas on Tues- day, at 11 A. M. ; The following is a correct list of her of ficers :-— Dr. Blisha K. Kane, U. 8. N., commanding the Expedi- ae Wall Wilson, Sailing Master, and second in com- mand, Henry Brooks, First Officer. James MeGeary, Second Officer. J. J. Hayes, M. D., Surgeon. Christian Olser, Carpenter. In addition to these, are several other gen- tlemen, who act under merely nominal salaries, actuated solely by a laudable desire to share in the honors and achievements of the expedition. The gentleman appointed naturalist to the ex- pedition, having yesterday resigned, Mr. Henry Goodfellow, of Philadelphia, a young volunteer, of education and spirit, undertakes to assist Dr. Kane in the duties of collecting. Captain Sturges has placed his steamers at the disposition of Mr. Grinnell, to tow out the party, and the pilot boat Washington, captain Murpby, which acted as pioncer to the first ex- pedition, again volunteers her services. The different establishments of which pur- chases have been made, have uniformly made deductions in price; and presents of little arti- cles calculated to contribute to the comfort of men shut out from the world, pour in from all quarters. Tur Anti-SLavery Exuisrtion at Boston.— The Boston Melcdeon has been for the past few days the rendezvous of most of the atheistical, pantheistical. abolitionist and eccentric ge- niuses of New England. There they have met to hold their orgies, or, as they choose to denomi- nate their doings, to celebrate the anniversary of New England Anti-Slavery Society. A motley and strange looking set they are ; long- haired and short-witted disciples of Fourrier sit on the same benches and indulge in the same ribald profanity with Christian men who have the prefix of reverend to their names, but who co far forget the respect due to their calling as to mingle and even occupy high places in such company ; the plain antique Quakeress- with her face hidden within the recesses of her cylindrical hat, sits in dangerous proximity, though quietly knitting her old man’s stockings all the while, to the foolish young and old maidens who are characterized by their homage for Uncle Tom as much as they are for their scorn for petticoats. long skirts and womanly attire, and their ambition for pantaloons and close cropped hair, And presiding over all are some of those dangerous master spirits—the Lucifers of the anti-slavery movement—who. animated by their inherent love for disorder, dis- organization dnd confusion, inflame the minds of their dupes and strive to disseminate their noxious principles so as to sap the foundations of the social, religious and political edifice of the republic, and plunge the céuntry into that chaos which is their natural element andthe sum- mum bonum of their wishes. Our special reporter has supplied us with a very graphic and truthful delineation of the ecenes which have thus far taken place in this gathering of the faithful in the Modern Athens. The report of these proceedings we present to our readers in another portion of this morning’s Henratp. The specches and sentiments uttered by the various orators—white, black and Bloomer—are of a type with those by which the community have been from time to time out- raged. Denunciations of the government and of the constitution are the main staple of the oratory. and these only keep pace with denun- ciations of the Church and blasphemous utter- ings against Divinity itself, and all are equally rabid and unmeasured. The only plea that could be urged in extenuation of this systematic outery against all that is most sacred and holy is that the utterers are not in possession of sound minds and reasoning faculties. We will charitably give them the benefit of that mitiga- tory plea which public opinion sets up for them, and so we leave them to finish out the unholy farce. Wuar'’s ms tur Winn ?—The U.S. steamer Vixen, Lt. Swartwout commanding, sailed on Thursday from the Brooklyn navy yard, re- ported for the coast of Africa; but as her de- parture was rather sudden, it is probable she is bound to some part of our coast. Is there any trouble on the fishing banks ? Troupe IN THE Camp.—The Albany Argus, (bunker,) and .4t/as, (free soil,) are grumbling over the spoils. They abuse the administration for giving all the rich offices to one section of the party. Is this the begfnning of the end ? Talk on ’Change. Cotton continued tolerably active. The sales reached 3,500 bales, at a further advance of 144, being equal to ¥ cent for two days. The total seles for three days have reached about 20,060 balos, which, at ten cents per pound, would amount to aboat from $800,000 to near 61,000,000, Brend-tuffs were active, both for flour and wheat, at un- changed prices. Corn was lower, with sales of between 50,000, and 60,000 bushels. Purehases of ters to some extent were making with a view of shipping to England. We were obligingly permitted to examine late advices from Melbourne, Australia, say to the 16th February, to a firm in this city. Sales of American goods had been made on very favorable terms. American Jumber had sold at $95 to $135 per 1,000 feet. Shovels 65 shillings; and nearly all American shipments were paying hand- somely, Gold whs selling at £3158, Gd. The steamship Sarah Sands sailed from Melbourne for Liverpool on the 12th February, and the Ocean Eagle, in ballast, for Calcutta on the same dey, Some persons on ’Change had engaged passage in the Baltic for Europe, with the double purpose of looking after business and visiting the Dublia Exhibition while absent. Satisfaction was expressed at the passage of the act through the Senate for dividing the Eighteenth ward of this city. More Removats.—Mr. W. W. Sheed and Chas. Atkin- ton, mail agents between New York ani Philadelphia, have been removed, and Mr. John Low, of Jersey City, and Sylvester Van Syekle, of Trenton, have been appointed to rucceed them on the first day of June. Personal Intelligence. The Hon. John P. Kennedy, ex Secretary of the Navy, and Lieut. M. F. Maury, o” the National Ooservatory, says the Norfolk Beacon, of the 26th inst., arrived here on Tuesday laet. Their visit, we are informed, was in connection with the Behring’s ‘Straits expedition, which is shortly to sail from this port. The Washington Republic, of the 27th inst., saye:—We are informed that Archbishop Hughes arrived in this city on Wedrerday, ard that on the ame day, in company with a gentleman of this city, he visited the President of | the United States. We are not apprised whether the visit was one of mere courtery or other wise. ARRIVALS SEAWAT.

She was built by Mr. Samuel Hall, at East Boston, She registers about 1,650 tons, is 210 feet long between perpendiculars, and 225 feet over all; extreme breadth of beam 40)¢ feet, and is 25 feet 9 inches deep. Her ends are long and sharp; her lines are concave, ® peculiarity which we believe origi- pated with Mr. William H. Webb, of this eity, and ap" plied to his best ships. Her figure head is the dgure of a wizard in an Oriental costume, with his book of fate under his arm, Her stern is round, and neatly orna- mented with gilt carving. She has a small topgallant forecastie, & house abaft the foremost, containing the galley and tho quarters for the forward officers and crew, and two cabins, which are commodiously built; and the the staterooms for passengers—numbering seven—are very elegantly furnished. She is very handsomely spar- red; the fore and mainmasts are built and strongly hooped; the mizzenmast isa single stick; the topmasts and jib-boom are made of hard pine. Among the many beautiful clippers that grace our plera the Wizard bears ‘& conspicuous position, and will well repay the trouble of ‘a visit by all interested in the progress of shipbuilding. ‘Tar Stkausir Baunic, Capt.

Her dimensions are, 123 feet on deck, 117 feet keel, 30 feet beam, and 9 feet depth of hold. She will challenge comparison with any rchooner now afloat, with the combination of the beautiful proportions of e clipper, with a light draft of water, and capacity of burthen, She will be taken from Hoboken to the foot of Franklin street, North river, where she can be seen for & few days. ‘THE SARDINIAN OFFICERS OF THE San Giovanyt.—We learn that this beautiful vessel will act sail this week, as it had been snnounced, but will remain a week or two longer in our waters, and visit hereafter different porta of the Uni_ ted States. The unpleasant affair betweea one or two in: dividuals on shore and the sailors of the San Giovanni, has been settled in a friendly way. On Thurs’ay last a committce from the Commodore of the Navy Yard waited on Commander Ivc'sa and invited him to accept, with his officers, and the Charge d’Affuires, Signor G. Valerio, a complimentary dinner, in return for the attentions shown by the Sardinian authorities to our ravy officers in Genoa. Besides the dinner, we are pro mised a splendid ball. The Sardinian Minister yesterday visited the frigate, and was received with the usual salute. It is probable that all the officers of the San Giovanni will goon Sunday next to West Point, aad on Monday morning will pay a yisit to the Heraup office to the Ericsson, and will go on bosrd the Advance previous to her departure for the Arctic regions, City Intelligence. ‘Tim Wearirer.—Yesterday presented a complete altera tion in the weather, and was an agreeable change from the wet, damp atmosphere with which we have been, as it were. saturated during the last few days. The ther- erterday, at noon, was at 76 degrees. The ather bas not, however, been altogether dis advantazeous; the grass appears very luxuriant in its growth, and promises a gocd crop of hay. Strawberries, also, are becoming plentiful and the raarkets are now well provided with this delicious early summer fruit. We perceive that some of oar cotemporaries are complaining of the price charged in the confectionery stores for this fruit, at the rate of about tvelve fora shilling. If they will only condescend to step into Wa hington Market, they can purcbase a backet of strawberries tor a dime. Axoinrr Case oF Stanntnc.—-John ite, residing at No. 62 West Nineteenth street, was av ‘Thursday by officer Patton, of the Sixteenth ward. on a charge of as. saulting another man, named Lewis Vecri, with intent to kill.
