Our Washington despatch announces that Mr. Crampton, the British Minister, with Messrs. Marcy and Cushing, left that city yesterday morning for Borkiey Springs, in order to proceed withthe negoti- ations upon the fishery and reciprocity questions ia aquiet manner. This ix done by request of the Secre- tary of State, who desires to avoid the frequent in- Yerruptions met with at the capital. The British Post Office authorities have stated their readiuess to refund money erroneously collected upon newspapers gent from the United States through England to other countries. Secretary McClelland has returned ‘o his port. It is said certain New York and Nortue western members of Congress, and others, are tostart anew democratic paper in December next. under the editorship of Mr. Bacon. D. E. Sickles was yes- ferday commissioned as Secretary of Legation to England. By reference to the telegraphic column, accounts of several marine disasters may be found. The British ship England, trom Tralee, Ireland, for this port, with salt and three hundred and ten passengers, weut ashore at Great Rip Point, Nantucket, on Thursday evening. ‘wo steamers went to her as- gistance,and st high water, on Friday afternoon, sneceeded in getting ber off. Ship Mary Crocker, from this port for St. Stephen, N. B., went ashore on ‘the north side of Niantic, on the 26th inet. Assist anee has been sent to her. Brig Nitheroy, bound for Boston, got ashore Friday night at Sandy Hook, but will probably come off at high water. Accounts from the British provinces state that the veports received at St. John, N. B., of the catch of Sich, were very contradictory. Sir E. Head, Governor of Nova Scotia, bad loft Fredericton on a tour to the northwest. Delegates from Newfoundiang, appoiwwa to seek the concession of responsible government and free trade with the United States, had sailed for Ragland. By an arrival at this port yesterday we have ad- vices from Curacoa to the 16th inst. The fever had @issppeared from the island. The rebellion in Vene zuela had not been subdued. The report of the City Inspector shows that meventy- six men, seventy-five women, one bundred aud eighty five boys, and one hundred and eighty- seven gitl-—muking a total of five hundred and twenty-three persons—died in this city during the week which ended last night. This is an increase of 4wo in the number of deaths as compared with the return for the foregoing seven days. Thus the ag- gregate amonnt of mortality remains, we may say, ‘fhe same. the character of the prevailing diseases is mnaltered, and their classification would indicate That the influencing causes were alike during the fortnight. Of the deceased adults, sixteen died of various fevers, forty-three of inflammatory affec- fions—attacking the brain in seventeen cases— forty-nine of consumption, and seventy-sevea of @yseutery and diarrhoea. Sixty infants were carried @way by cholera infantum, twenty-four by bydro eephalus, and thirtytwo by sprue. One hundred and ninety of the whole number were children ander one year of age, and three hundred and forty- eight bad not attained ten years. The tabular record of deaths by ward returns is a great improvement, as it fixes public attention opon healthy or unhealthy Ioealities, and by this means will cause inquiry to be made es to whether disease is generated by causes ineident to local situation, or propagated by a neglect ef sanitary rules. Taking the return before us, we find that in five down town wards—counting from the first to the fifth—sixty-four persons died during Jest week; whilst in five up town wards—counting from the fifteenth to the twentieth—two hundred and forty s'x people died within the same time. This @isproportionste mortality must be attributed to the overcrowding of lodging houses, consequent want of ventilation, underground moisture, deficient sewer- age, and the exhalation of poisonous miasma from The filthy stegnant pouds which are allowed to re- Iain in muny vacant lots in the upper part of the _@ity. Three hundred and eighty of the deceased be- Bonged to America, seventy-seven to Ireland, and thirty-three to Germany. John Shawney and Joreph Dodge were executed at Bt. Louis on the 23d inst., for the murder of two Indians, on the plains, some time during last summer. The ceremony of laying the corner-stone of Christ’s Episeopal church, recently removed from Anthony street, took place yesterday afternoon, on the site of the building in Eighteenth street, near Fifth avenne in the presence of a large number of people. A full Feport of the interesting proceedings will be pub lished to-morrow. During the month of July there arrived at this port 413 vessels, of all classes, making in the aggre- gate 144,50 tons. ‘The yeilow fever at New Orleans is represente: as worse than ever before, and is confined princi- ‘pally to the poorer classes. There were one hundred and ninety deaths from this epidemic at the Charity Hospital during the week. A desperate encounter took place on Friday night at Boston between the harbor police and two river thieves, in whieh, after @ brisk discharge of fire- arms, the police were victorions. The Earl cf Ellesmere and family left Boston yes- terday afternoon for Halifax, on board the war steamer Medi». Very Funny.—The latest disclosures from Washington concerning the official arrange- ments for a democratic organ in Washington and another in New York. But if the “ Origi- nal Jacobs” is our man, what becomes of the “True National Democrat,” or the “real ge- maine Original Jacobs?’ And why should Col. Forney come here to be immortalized? Is he tired of the clerkship of the House at three abousend a year, or how? Where's Mr, Burke ? 1 annum. eonts | Phe Pacific Railroad and the Adm ialstcer Mon vs. the Virginia Strict Construction ists. Long will be remembered in this section of | the country the speeches ef the Seeretary of War and the Secretary of the Treasury in fa- vor of the building of that great continental inter-ceeanic highway, the Pacific Railroad, by the federal government; and when we reflect for 2 moment on the fact that Col. Davis, him- self a hair-splitting constructionist. not only made the road constitutional by making it a military road, but clearly intimated that the President himself entertained the same op nions, there is no wonder that a very extraordi- nary deyree of importance is attached to these ministerial revelations, north of Masou and Dix- on’s line. They aretantamount to the procla- mation of the platform of Gen. Pieree and his eabinet on the subject of this Pacific Railroad; and they were particularly agreeable in these parts. because of the doubts previously eater- tained of the footing of the administration oa this question. Messrs, Davis and Guthrie, however, in endorsing the nationality and the constita- tionality ef this great work ef public necessity and “manifest destiny,” having run against soure of the snags of the Old Virginia » Slough of Despond,” or Dismal Swamp of ‘98 and ’99, a conspicuous position in the editorial columns of the mond Enquirer is given to a cor- respondent who declares himself dead-set against the Pacific Railroad policy of Secretary Davis—and he enters his protest against Davis and Gutbrie, and insinuates that they came on to tke Crystal Palace “for the purpose of manufacturing public sentiment, preparatory to the next meeting of Congress.” The indignant Virginian then goes on to say that, If such are to be the recommendations of the administration, I take this early occasion to say that it is not “ the entertainment to which we were invited.” The country was promised a regular, old fashioned, Jeffersonian State rixhts administra- tion under Gen. Pierce; and 1, at least, rely contl dently upon the fultilment of that promise. But it uch is to be the policy of the administratien upon questions of internal improvements—I am off. L in- tend to adhere fuithfally to Virginia pri yles—te stand by the old and safe doctrine of State rights and strict construction—to resist all attempts to enlarge the powers of the federal government. And if, in doing se, it shall become my duty to denounce an administration which I aided in bringing into power, I shall not hesitate to do even that—disagree- able as it may be. My motto is, “ Principles not men”—and I intend to act up to it. Buus Ringe. The Richmond Whig, a journal which, we regret to say. is laboring with an unholy zeal to stirup ascrimmage in the great family of the national democracy, North and South, commenting upon the same subject, rubs its hands together, and chuckles in the following strain — Senators Hunter and Mason, from Virginia, de- nounced the Pacific Railroad, at the last Congress, as a palpable violation of the constitution—as dan- gerous to the liberties of the States; and Senator Mason went so far as to pronounce the scheme as bud as the alien and sedition laws of old Johu Adams. Now that scheme is endorsed; it is pub- licly advecated by mem of General Pierce’s ad- ministration. ‘The administration of the brigadier is considered in favor of it as ‘a tixed fact ;” and what ure the Virginian democratic Senators, and the whole Virginian democracy, to do if Messrs. Hunter and Mason spoke their sentiments ? Sure enough, here isa dilemma. The Vir- ginia hair-splitters of State rights can’t com- prehend the constitutionality of anational high- way through the “territories” of the United States. We believe, however, that these Dis- al Swamp commentators upon constitutional- abstractions. who Can a hair divide, D-twiat its South and southwest side, very generally uduite Calhoun in his elucidation of the metaphysics of the constitution. . Calhoun has said that Cengrees is the sovereign over the territories o the United States ; but whether he had said so or not, Congress, under the provisions o the constitution, has always, and docs now. exercise over our territories the powers of a sovereign. Congress may give away or sell the public lands as it pleases, It may appropriate any amount of money or lands for the construction of roads, &c., throngh its landed estates, with the view of in- creasing their value, or for military purposes, or for the transportation of the mails. See the immenee grants to railroads and canals made in the Western and Southern States, within the last four years. What, then, is there in the constitution to prevent the construction by Con- gress. of a railroad, or fifty railroads, through the public lands in the territories of the United States, over which Congress hold the sovereign authority ? Nothing. And what, then is the to prevent the construction of a post-office rail- road, or a military railroad, or a railroad to ix crease the price of the public lands, ora rai road to“ regulate commerce.” from the fron- tiers of the State of Missouri or Arkansas to the boundary of the State of Californi Nothing. We go further, and maintain that the power to establish post roads, being warestricted aud full, embraces the power by Congress to build a portal railroad irom New York to San Fran- cisco out of the federal treasury direct; but of course, this sweeping power involves the res- ponsibility of a wise discretion. But if Congress cannot make a railroad through the United States territories. who can! If“ the people” of a territory possess the power of sovereignty over the same. then the coloay of the Mormons at the Salt Lake, with their local despotism, resting upon the patriarchal institutions of polygamy, are beyond the reach of the constitution and the lawsand institutions ofthe United States. With all due deference to the Nicholson letter, the crotchet of State rights is an absurdity ina territory. Henee though Virginia hair splitters may stickle upon State rights as fur as the construction of a rail- road by Congress within the limits of a State is concerned, there isa clear margin of fiftec hundred miles between Missouri and California, over which Congress alone has the power to build a railroad, or the power to provide for ite construction, We are somewhat confident that, to this ex- tent at least, the administration will wofor the railroad to the Pacifie. Short of a war, we know of nothing else upon which the demogratic party can he’ re-organized’’ so well as upon this great Pacific euterprise. If the adminis tration is frightened off, an opposition party will raily to the rescue, This is the age of pro gress, The VPaciiic Railroad must be built, Con- grees must take a hand in it, The flimsy chaff of State rights objections does not touch the territories, The Secretary of War and the Seeretary of the Treasury are right. This great toad ig # naticnal work, and a national uecessi- ty; and we rather like, in this connection, the ailusion of Mr. Gathrie to the sarplas in the treasury, The wérict constructionists of Virgi- nis must clear the wack, and let the locomotive pags, eke Laminitey ve Me Finer Rati, at Newrort—The first hop of the season will take piace at Bellevue H J, on Monlay evening next, the Let of August, Newrorr axp THE Mame Law—We are gratified to learn from the Newport Mercury that the Maine Liquor law in that thriving little place is respected as well as could be ex- pected, notwithstanding an intimation is thrown out that some of the visiters may perhaps be guilty of bringing their supplies of liquor from New York. Nor do we feel the stightest unea- siness concerning the following information :— The Hexacp, last year, was very severe on New- rt, and continually barped on the ruin the Maine w would brieg upon it asa watering place. The course pursued by that journal acted rather favora- bly than otherwise, for the season was a most pros pereus one, and those who witnessed its success are wholly unprepared for the strides already made this acon. Twenty-five thonsand dollars will not cover the purchase money for land sold within a week, @ report of which we have not yet given. Pretty good for Newport, cut off from old Port. But we do trust that the severity of the Hrracp last year, bas had some good effect in improving the victualling department of New- port this year. With nothing to drink but salt water and reot beer, visiters should at least be provided with plenty to eat. even without the accustomed bush money to the waiter. Possi- bly, befere long, we may detail an inspector of the customs to look in at Newport. vy Mew Wanrep—The Albany t/as and other up river democratic journals, are in favor of ‘new men” for the State ticket this fall. So are we. So is everybody. Give us new men. We may harmonise the party upon new men; we must pulverise it with the old men. ‘The soft shells have victimized Mather ; the hards will make a burnt-offering of his asso- ciates if they dare to run. Better set them aside. Give us new men, and the newer the better. The people are clearly in favor of new men. Let us obey the wish of the people. Let us have new men, good, bad or indifferent so they are new. Anything for peace in the fa- mily.

The information was received at the Post Office Department bere te-day. It will be reecliested that the circumstances were explained in the Heraup some time since, They are briefly as follows :—When the present postal treaty with England went into effect, in 1849, it was the understanding of our department that on al pewspapers to be transmitted from the United States, through England, the United States Post Office was te eollect and credit the British Post Office two cents each» and onr postmasters were instructed aevordingly. These exedits continued to be made until sometime last spring when the British office ealled attention to the trrezu’ larity, raying that they had previously, in May, 1850, given notice of it, but thst from the papers in the case having been mislaid, the subject had thereafter bea overlooked.
