Of the vast amount of highly interesting informa- tion with which our pages are again crowded to-day, that which wil! probably attract the greatest atten. tion, is the narrative relative to the President's trip to thie city, which embraces the speeches made by His Excellency and the distinguished gentlemen forming his suite, from the time of their arrival in Baltimore, on Monday afternoon, until they retired to their hotel in Philadelphia last evening. The feeling of the people along the line of route from Baltimore to Philadelphia, particularly at Wilmington, is des- cribed as having been not only enthusiastic, but highly flattering to him who was last year called upon by such an overwhelming vote to preside over the destinies of the nation. Read the account. Great excitement again perv.ded the halls of le- gislation at Albany yesterday. The Assemblymen discovering that they had been a little too fast to answer the purposes of a majority of their members in passing the resolntion to adjourn to-day, requested that the resolution be returned without concurrence. The Senate, in the meantime, had withdrawn i's con- currence, and ordered, by a vote of seventeen to thirteen, the resolution to be tabled. To show how parties stood, it is proper to state that cleven demo- terats and six whigs voted to prolong the session, and three democrats and ten whizsto adjourn to-day. The Legislature, it will be seen by the following extract from the constitution, is not restricted as to the number of days for which they shall receive pay anring the extra vession, us there is a question of impeachment now pending, for which the annexed section of the constitution makes exception: — Seetion 6 of article 4 of t tntira provides that “The members of the Legisi:ture shall receive a sum mot exceeding three doilars a day irom the commence ment of the session; but such pay shall nos exseed in the aggregate three hundred doltars for per diem ailo vanes, except in proceedings {cr impeachment. Whea convened in extra cesrion by th r they shall reseive thee @olars per day. i alvo receiya the gum of ove @ollar fur every ten miles they shail travel ia going to ane returning om their place of meetiog on the most ‘erual youte.” Strong but unavailing efforts were made in the ex- ecutive session of the Senate to compel the members from the First Judicial District to report on the ap- pointments for New York Harbor Masters. After a short but exciting debate, and the taking of two or three votes, legislative business was resumed without asingle appointment of any kind having been con- firmed. Much time was spent upon the bill making appropriations for the enlargement and reporation of the canals, and several material alterations were made. Nearly the whole day was occupied by the Ascembly upon matters connected with the coming impeachment trial. Among other things, it was re- solved that a committee of seven managers should be appointed to prosecute the Mather case, and also that the House must be in cession daring the tri: On the other hand. the Senate unanimously declared that it was wholly unnecessary for the Asserobly to remain in session while the trial is progressing. A Dill was introduced, and read twice, in the Arsem. bly, relative to the prosecntion of impeachment trials. Tt occasioned a very spirited cotroversy, as wil! be secn by the report. Those interested in the Crystal Palace Exhibition —and what American is not ?—should not fail to read the account we today publish of the organi- aation of the Association, description of the mam- moth building, space appropriated to exhibitors, and classification of articles. The programme of arrange- ments for the opening gives promise of a most im- posing ceremony —one that has never been equalled by any affair of the kind in this continent. We received our usual files from the Bahamas yes- terday morning. The dates come down to the 15th of June, and are, consequently, six dayslater than thoee previously reported. The papers do not con tain any political news. We learn from the Royal Gazette that up to the 10th of Jane the weather had been exceedingly hot and dry, but, from that date np to the 1ith of th month there had been a fre owers, wi suceession of revival of vegetation.

BWe give to-day the report of the committee, in tl Constitational Convention of Massachusetts, on the petition of Abby Alvot! and other won to strike the word © m from th tion, and give them the right to vote and to by voice in the councils of common r ia, to place the petticoats on the politival plat form, and establish the Lucy Stone doctrine o woman's © But the committee have hushed the gentlé mormurings of the fair petticoate, by tu’! ing them they must consent to be governed by th sterner sex, and be content with the right of petition fn lien of the right to vote.

Read the report, aud see how the woman's rights women of Massachusetts are floored. A dispatch from New Orleans states that Hon. Solon Borland was in that city on the 9th instant, awaiting instractions prior to departing for Central America. It will be a source of gratification to the thou- sands of our countrymen whose feel'ngs are enlisted in the cause of Dr. Kane’s American Aretic Expedi- | tion, to hear of the glorious reception given at St. | John’s, N. F., to the commander and his associates | on board the brig Advance. Read the account of | the proceedings and speeches, which will be found | in another column. The members of the ancient order of the Hiber- | nian Society, held a meeting last evening at Grand street Hall, in order to lay before the public an ex- planation on their part, of the recent riot which oc- curred in the Ninth ward on the Fourth of July. | The meeting was addressed by several speakers, a | report of whose speeches, together with the pro- ceedings of the meeting, may be found in another colomn. The Board of Aldermen did not organize last evening, for want of a quorum. Among other reso | Intions adopted by the Board of Assistants was one appropriating the third floor of the new Court House to the Marine Court. They also changed the ronte of the Second Avenue Railroad at its lower terminus giving the right to lay the rail along South street instead of Front street, as granted heretofore. No other business transpired of apy importance, and the Board adjourned until the first Monday in August. Opening of the Campaign of the Hard Shells Against the Administration. A letter from the Hon. James Maurice, Mem. | b-rof Congress for the first congressional dis- trict of this State, to his constituents, will be found in another part of to-day’s Heraup, and will doubtless attract no little attention. Mr. Manrice is a hard shell of the straightest kind, and is from the same locality as Mr. Cooley, of the State Legislature. His letier is written in explanation of the fact that .e has had no hand in the appoiatments made by the President in his district, which we are indnced to suppose Mr. Maurice has no very great opinion of. Without entering into a discussion as to the merits or otherwise of the persons appointed to office in that district, we must express our ap- probation of the principle of not per- mitting members of Congress to dictate who shall be the recipients of federal patronage. The constitution has devolved the dnty of such appointments upon the President alone, subject to the approval of the Senate, and we hold that it is not in the power of any President, faithful to his high position and his cath of office. to delegate this dnty to members of Congress. or divide with them the respon- sibility which attaches to it. So far, then, on principle, and looking at Mr. Manrice’s case by itself, we can see nothing in the facts to justify complaint. A member of Congress is elected for specific duties—hie theatre is the floor of the House of Representatives: and he has quite as much as he can do, if he properly and thfully attends to his dnties there. To | give hin the control of all the federa) officers in his district, is to invest him with | the whole power of the government, so far as his locality is concerned, and to open a door to | corruption of the most flagrant character. But, unfortunately, in locking at the case | presenied hy Mr. Mauriee, we are afraid we see | the exception and not the rule. If our infor- | mation from Washington is correct, and it is ased npon the uncontradicted statements every” where made since the 4th of Mareh, the dictum ofeertain members of Congress has been para- mount ina large majority of cas We have heard of instances of members of Cougress from this State—“barnburners” and ‘“‘softs’”—pnblicly | boasting that only such appointments as they de- | sired should be made, and the record shows that | they indulged in no idle talk. We have been told that more then one head of department informed applicants for office, highly backed up by their fellow-citizens, that it was necessary they should get the endorsement of the member of Congress from their district, or their chances of success | would scarcely warrant their remaining in Washington to await the issne. In fact, the | imprestion has prevailed throughout the country | that now, more than at any previous period of our history, congressional influence prevailed at the executive departments, and that to be a member of Congress was to have under lock and key all the patronage of the district where the member resided. We are fully aware that, in the distribution | * some forty or fifty thousand offices, it would | he perfectly impossible for any President to | rely upon his own acquaintance with the hosts | of applicants. Information as to their charac- ter and standing must be obtained from the lo- calities where they are known. And it is be- cause of this difficulty in obtaining always cor- rect and unprejudiced information that we con- sider great allowances should be made for m takes and improper appointments. In procur- ing this information the President ry nata- rally. doubtless, considers the position of a de- | mocratic member of Congress as an endorse ment that he is trusted in the district he repre- and, therefore, that he is entitled | credit in any recommendations and representa. | | Pe eS, ate, to tions he may 1» as to i for e.

Jn other words, we do net eo that th tion of a member of ¢ fe hima any vight whatever te " a simply a the soft stripe which it is nid Mr. } Vora. proved of no avail, and that the ondorsoments of the coft abel! members were alwars success. | of some deseription or other, and. | and vight thot Mr. Buchanan shonld be ent fal? If it is the result of an accident, let us know, and although the‘hards have suffered by it, still we doubt not they will manage to be “jolly” if they know their exclusion has not been intentional. It is said that Mr. Maurice is not to be alone in his revelations, but that at least two other hard shell members iatend coming out with circulars of @ similar character. We therefore entreat the Washington organ to vouchsafe an explanation without delay, for we are anxious to get the faets of the case and the views of the administration before the country as soon as possible. We believe President Pierce is an honest man. We cannot and do not suppose he has any desire to pursue a tortuous course. But we think, and as an independent journal we have no hesitation in avowing it, that he has in many instances been imposed upon. In the matter of appointments, his adininiatration has been singularly unsuccessful, and we would he untrue to the character of our paper did we fail to tell him so, Our support of General Pievce’s election had nothing personal in it; it was based upon principle. Our support of his administration will be governed by the same feeling, and we irust it may be in our power to continue it. Is Mr. Buchanan Gorne to Excianp?—We have various rumors about Mr. Buchanan’s in- tentions for the future. The gencral impres- sion amongst his friends is. that unless some change should take place in his present feel” ings he will decline going to England, and re- tire to the quiet of his residence, in the vicinity of Lancaster. This determination, it is said, has been induced by a difference of opinion be- | tween himself and Mr. Marcy. We know not how far the rivalry between the houses of York and Lancaster may have affected the case; but many rearons can be imagined why a gentle- man, cceupying so large and distinguished a porition before the publie as Mr. Buchanan does, should now decline, undey all the cireum- stances of the case, proceeding to a foreign country, un@er the auspices of the State Depart- ment. The instructions and directions recently issued by the department for the guidance of diplomatic agents, are not, it will be remem- hered, confined to straightening out consuls, and regulating the material which those highly ornamental, but hitherto somewhat useless, functionaries, shall have their breeches made of. They go further, and read a lecture, and pre- scribe rules for the government of the ministers also. These gentlemen are told, that for the future they must open their office at a particu- lar time ; they must employ only a particular class of persons; they must visé all the pass- ports themselves; and above all, they must not presume to stir abroad without tirst asking and obtaining leare of absence from the State Department. Now, we take it that the position of a full minister for the United States. to represent this government at a foreign court, is a some- what divtivguished one, and that it ought to command the services of our most prominent citizens. We regard the position of minister to any of the first Enropean powers, as at least equal in dignity to that of a cabinet officer. In the ease of Mr. Buchanan, it will not be pre- tended that any more distinguished politician or more accomplished gentleman holds a seat in | the cabinet, and yet it is expected that he will place himself in the position of a fiunky to the State Department. doing all the mere clerical duties of the Jegation. under pain of disoheying the circular instructions ; and humbly asking Mr. Marey, in case he should decide to visit Paris, for permission to do so. The thing is on its face ridiculous, if not insulting. and we can readily imagine Mr. Buchanan’s disinclination to accept office. if such humiliating conditions | are annexed. Tt is scarcely probable there can he any se- rious misunderstanding as to who should have the adjustment of the fishery and reciprocity question between England and the United States, Mr. Buchanan is too old a diplomatist not to be aware that an adjustment of those questions will bring but very few laurels. They will be arranged, in the end, by a compromise in any event, will not come up to public expectation. But with the Central American question the case is very different; and if the disposition of the matter is not to be entrusted to Mr. Bu- chanan, then it is highly probable he will not con- sent to he a mere man of straw, sent to England as an ernamental appendage of Queen Victoria’s court. The whole difficulty in Central America has arisen in consequence of English interfe- rence. Remove, that and no difficulty remains with the government there. It is but proper rust- ed with this question. and without interference of any description from any quarter. We trust, however, that he will yet be in- duced to preceed on his mission. As one of the ablest American statesmen, the country desires the henetit of his talents. Inthe present condi- tion of our foreign affairs it is of no little conse- quense we should be represented abroad by men of characier, in whom the country has confi- denee: end, at the same time. they should not he expected to sacrifice their personal respect, or their just rights, for the mere whim of the department in Washington.

Let all hagas, there- fore, prepare for a grand temperance Pimpaign hofore the people, It will inevitably go to the it ie on open question, cient w its qu stomp Tur Toxe-Hoox-Tore Dramatic Company.— We are happy to learn that the “plain un- varnished tale” of the disappointments and sufferings of the Celestials who are members of the unfortunate but talented Tong-Hook-Tong dramatic company. which was told in the Her- ALD a short time since, is likely to produce an effect which will result in o great benefit to these performers. A committee of very wealthy and most respectable gentlemen are actively engaged in an endeavor to tender a proposed benefit for them, as remanerative as porsible. The main object of the benefit per- formance is to raise a sum amply sufficient to convey the entire troupe home to China, and thus save our citizens the continued taxation which must ensue for their support, if so many men are permitted to fall into a hopeless, ; and consequently, enduring, state of pauperism, We think that humanity recommends the case of the Dramatic Company to every man’s breast, whilet civic policy should endorse the promptings of our better nature towards their aid. The benefit will come off next Saturday, at Castle Garden, the use of which has been given, free of charge, fer the occasion. We are certain that the generous artistes now in New York will lend their aid, as far as is consistent with other engagements, For although there is a dreadful rebellion in the Central Flowery Kingdom, and though Nankin has fallen, and the Susquehanna could not get over those ugly :and-bars of the Yang-toe-Keang, still it is bet. ter for the men of the Tong-Hook-Tong Dra- matic Company to be ranged either upon the side of the revolutionists or imperialists in the battles of their own country, than to sit pining away in the Shakespeare Hotel, and that, too, at the expense of its humane proprietor.
