The trains which left New York and Philadelphia simal- taneously, came in collision some ten miles beyond Amboy. The crash was so violent as to cause the Instant death of three persons, two of them females, im the cars from this city. A large number of the passengers were very seriously injured, and oneof them shortly after died. The New York train is re- ported to have been running out of time. Com- ment is unnecessary. The steamship Northern Light, which arrived yesterday, brought us two weeks later intelligence from California. We find very little of importance in the papers, and scarcely sufficient to call the news interesting; but as we find it we give it to our read- ers, and leave them to judge both as to its interest and importance, A couple more towns have been destroyed by fire, but as similar intelligence comes with almost every arrival, barely changing the loca- tion of the conflagration, we cannot, from its same- mese, pronounce the intelligence either stariing or important, and the more especially as, at the time ‘we are reading it, the probability is that the districts which have been burned over would be difficult to find. No announcement of duels, fortunately, with a recital of all their painful consequences, has been Drought by this arrival, and we are able to find only ene prize fight, one murder, one execution by the people, and comparatively few robberies and thefts. ‘Zhe morals of the new State areevidently looking up. The old mines continued to yield their usual amount of the yellow sand which rewards the la- borer,and new ones were continually presenting them- selves to prospecting parties. The soil was repaying the agricultarist for his confidence an hundred fold, and the inhabitants of the cities were rejoicing in ‘that prosperity which presents to our view the ma- nifest destiny of the Golden State. Besides the California intelligence, tie Star of the West brought late and interesting news from Ore- gon and Washington territories, the Sandwich Islands, Tahiti, &c., full details of which are given elsewhere. The intelligence furnished by our special Wash- ington correspondent, with regard to the fishery question, is of a truly novel and startling character. It is asserted that, while the colonial and Yankee fishermen have been wrangling concerning their alleged rights, and calling upon their respective governments to protect them, the real owner of the entire grounds in dispute, Lord Stirling, has quietly remained in the back ground and enjoyed the sport. The royal charters upon which Lord S. bases his @laim were recognized and confirmed by act of Par- Bament in the ‘ime of Charles the First—over two hundred and twenty years ago—and give to him the complete right to fish within six leagues of the shore. Lord S. is now in Washington making arrangements with a company of influential American gentlemen for the prosecution of his claim. Read tie partica- Jars concerning this curious, extraordinary and im- portant movement, as detailed in the telegraphic despatch. One of our special correspondents has sent us a synopels of the arrangements just perfected between the United States and Bremen, by which letters and Newspapers destined for Mexico, the West Indies, Central and South America, &c,, may be sent through this country. ‘The returns of the elections recently held in some of the Southern States are very meagre. With re- gard to the general result in Tennessee enough is known to warrant the belief that a democratic Gevernor bas been chosen, bat that the whigs will have a majority on joint ballot in the Legislatare. In Alabama there appears to have been a slight change in favor of the whigs, so far as concerns the Congressional delegation. In North Carolina Mr. Ontlaw, late whig Congreseman, has been defeated by Mr. Shaw, democrat. The Kentucky delegation is «till supposed to be equally divided A late letter from Prince Edward Island, an- nounees that serious damage bas been done by the fires which have of late been raging in the woods. Many farmers have lost their buildings, crops and fences, and in some instances portions of their live stock. Nearly nine hundred emigrants reached Boston from Liverpool yesterday, in a packet ship. What $s not a little singular, notwithstanding the extra- ordinary crowd, only three persons died on the voy: ive preparations are making at St. Joho HN. 8., for the opening celebration of the North American and European railroad on the lith of next month. Another bright lominary has passed from amongst oe, Ex-Chief Justice Joues, after a career of legal neefulness and a sojourn of more thaa that ordi narily allowed to man, bas been summoned be fore the Highest of bigh tribunals, and ere now has met the Great Architect of the Universe, Me lived a life of spotless purity, giving to his fellow men an example worthy of imitation, and leaving behind him a reputation and a name alike honorable and honored. By our legal intelligence it will be seen how pre-eminent Judge Jones ranked amongst the members of the bar and his fellow jurists. The name of Samuel Jones will long live in the memory of the members of the legal profession, and his deci- sions be cited in ages yet to come. Last night a meeting, or rather an attempt at one, was held up town, at the corner of Broadway and the Eighth avenue, in the vicinity of that as yet terra incognita, the Central Park, by the owners of the lots in which it is to be located. There was a vast amount of confusion, no one appearing to know exactly what his neighbor wanted, or what he want- ed himself. Thére was a show of opposition raised by some to the act of the Legislature, but the folly of the thing was clearly shown by the chairman, and after a deal of fussing, the meeting adjourned sine die, having come to no determination as to what they would do. We publish to-day one of the most interesting and romantic adventures ever recorded. It is a narrative of the voyage of Mr. Gibson to the Hastera Archipelago, and the persecutions to. which he was subjected while there by the Dutch. Le was absolutely uader sentence of death for absurd and false charges of treason against the government there, when he ef- ected his escape. In addition to much other interesting reading, to- day's inside pages contain the official reports of the proceedings in the Common Council, including a synopsis of the report of the special committee ap- pointed to draft an ordinance to divide the city into sixty Council districts, in compliance with the pro- visions of the new charter. Also, fifth day’s pro- ccedings of the National Scientific Convention; speech of Mr. Boruck, of the San Francisco Fire De- partment, &c, New York Politics—a Warning Volve to the Demoeracy—A Horm Gathering. The affairs of the re-organized democraey, at their-head-quarters at Albany, continue to be anything but satisfactory, We have been la. bering as assiduously ag ever Gen. Foote la bored to save the Union—we have been think- ing and studying night and day, ever since the division of the spoils, upon the ways and means for keeping the New York demoeracy a unit, like the Cabinet; but thus far we have been wholly unsuccessful. With all that, from the extremity of our solicitude,we have suggested— after all that we have done to maintain harmo- ny in the family, or a decent selfrespect among the brethren fur the sake of appearances—we are eompelled to say that we have failed. Poli- ticiaag, like republics, are ungrateful, and they are dreadfully selfish; and when defeated of their expectations of the public plunder, they will be rebellious. We have. from time te time, called the atten- tion of the administration to the manifestations of an impending row among thounterrified of the Empire State—to the discords in Tammany Hall—to the cold shoulder which the “Old Guard” turn ogainst that ancient wigwam, and the proceedings of the coal hole— to the frightful dodging on the Taylor resolutions, and the more contemptible dodge of the Champlin compromise—to the so-called “bogus manifesto” from the democratic mem- bers of the Legislature. and to the protest of other democrats—to the distressing squabbles, from day to day, waxing hotter and hotter as we get into the dog-days, between the 4rgus and the .d¢/as, the two organs of the party, one white and the other black, at the head of sloop navigation on the Hudson; but all without avail. All our efforts to pour oil upon the treubled waters appear to have been thrown away. The Washington Union has been scold- ing and coaxing both sides, and reading a re- fractory organ or two out of the church; but it has done no good. The President, with half his eabinet, in a personal visit, failed to close up the breach, And now the trouble threatens to assume the alarming symptoms of a chronic disease, fastening itself upon the very bones of the ancient democracy, to the inexpressible delight of W. H. Seward and his allies. Read the following extract from a leading article in the last number of the Albany .¢- las :— Evidences of defection from democratic usages and treachery to the ee of the party, are dis- tinctly seen in the course of the Albasy Argus, and its few friends here and elsewhere in the State. These open manifestations of bolting do not excite either surprise or alarm in the minds of those who have watched the course of events for the past year. It was well known here that such would be the end. of faction, necessarily and unavoidably, and it was merely a question of time, when the bolt would be openly made, and not of fact. The leaders in the movement have not been discreet, or rather there has been a want of leadership. We speak advisedly when we say, that Edwin Croswell, ‘the brains of the concern,’ who has more eee el than all the lesser lights of the small squad of bolters, in either city or State, put together, acknowledges how indis- creet it has n to break cover thus early. His plan was, as usual, to keep up appearances of fidelity to party usages and obligations, but strike in the dark at the ticket nominated. These are lugubrious disclosures. The “ fac- tion” whose end is here spoken of, consists of such men as Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, Mr. Au- gustus Schell, Hon. Mr. Maurice, Hon. Mr. Bird. tall, Mr. Senator Cooley, and a host of others— the faction, in short, which gave one hundred and fourteen thousand votes in this State for Gen. Cass for President, in 1848, and of which faction the bolting Argus has been, and conti- nues to be, the Albany organ. According to the Atlas, however, this faction has become so “ Small by degrees and beautifully less,” that its secession from the administration party is neither @ matter of surprise nor alarm. It has been anticipated, and it was “merely a question of time” when the bolt should take place. And it appears that the danger is all the lees from the rebels betraying their trea- cherous designs thus early ; and that is some- thing for which to be thankful. But we are not satisfied with this view of the subject. We have our fears that a storm is brewing which will end in the destruetion of the invincible and overwhelming New York de- mocracy of 1852. The bitter hostilities exist- ing between the Argus and the Jt/as are or nous of a deadly feud. The sar trayed in the amusing ferocity of the two demo- cratic Dromios of this city ; and we apprehend that any attempt to sink their quarrel by » thing is be- sinking them in a new democratic organ will be a failure, a melancholy failure. The spoils have been divided, and they have not gone all round, Worse than this—the “Old Guard.” the old hunkere, the old stand-bys of the party, who expected the livn’s share, have been unceremoniously cut short at o table, with the emall pickings of the jac hi the danger. If Gen. Pierce had fifty m more of public plunder he might k 3ut he hasn’t got it, and bh together. can't do it. Anditis a rule in commerce that where the demand exceeds the supply the hucksters will rnle the market, aud honest sen will he cheated In a word, the old national branch of th mocratic party of New York, under the helicf that they have been superseded in the dence and favors of the administration by seditious abolition Bulfalo party of 1e48, a meditating open rebellion, and the Albany 4t/as warns the party that a bolt may be regarded as a fixed fact. What then? The Democratic State Convention meets at Syracuse on the 13th of September. They may fail to harmonize upon @ State ticket—the seceders may g0 off to Utica or some other place, and nominate another ticket; and that will bring us back to the split of 1848. Such is the gloomy prospect before us, in advance of the first annual message of Gen. Pierce. before he has proposed a single measure of public policy to either houce of Congress. The disorganized and apparen¥ey utter help- less condition of the whig party of this State will probably contribute to hasten this demo- ratic dissolution, rather than to encourage the hards and softs toa reconciliation. Between the Fillmore and the Seward divisions of the late whig association there has been as yet no approach to a compromise. Master Greeley gives up the party as absolutely defunct ; and on all sides there is a tacit acquiescence in this judgment, as far as New York is concerned- The appointment of a Whig State Convention has yet to be made. A fine opening is offered for a new organization, upon a new platform, which will take root and flourish, and extend all over the Union. But the remains of the late whig party are so strongly saturated with the abominable isms of Seward and his organs, that we fear the majority can only reorganize upon a free-soil, anti-rent, woman’s rights, land reform, Maine liquor law, and protective tariff platform, or something of that sort. But then there will be an opportunity for an inde- pendent movement of the Fillmore and Web- ster constitutional Union compromise whigs; and the expedient of a junction between them and the hard shells*has already in various quarters, as we are informed, been discussed. Thus, then, from a review of the present condition of the discordant elements of both the old parties in New York, there is not only the danger to be consulted of anether split among the democracy, but there is also the possible contingency to be looked after, of the revival of the Seward branch of the late whig party on a bona fide abolition and revo- lutionary platform, and the fusion of the Filimore and Webster portion with the demo- cratic hard shells, or Old Guard into an inde- pendent national Union party; otherwise, the New York result this fall will probably be an easy triumph of the Albany .#t/as and Van Buren wing of the democracy, leaving dis- affected and excommunicated hard shells, and all the factions of the late whig party, scattered over the field, as the loose materials of a dis- organized opposition, powerless from its divi- sions, though in the aggregate representing a large majority of the people. Meantime, let all concerned brush up for the Syracuse Con- vention. Heads up! Very Important from Cuba—British Plan of Abolishing Siavery in the Island. Our readers will reeollect that some few weeks ago there was a report from Cuba of cer- tain overtures having been proposed in behalf of the British government to the Spanish au- thorities of Havana, contemplating the aboli- tion of slavery in the island, and the substitu- tion of the British West India apprenticeship system. The Washington Union at the time very emphatically declared that such a policy could never be permitted to go into practice in Cuba .without incurring the displeasure of the administration, from reasons of manifest public expediency, involving the institution ofslavery in our Southern States. Now, if our latest information from Havana be correct, it may not be long before Gen. Pierce will be required to make good the de- clarations of the Union, or disavow them. We are informed, upon respectable authority, that a demand or request had been made by order of the British government for a mixed commission authorized to search the estates and all places in Cuba, where new importations of Africans were suspected to be sheltered, and that the ish government has granted the demand of England, and that the Captain-General has received the official commission by the last English steamer. The Captain-General, we understand, had, previously to this authoriza- tion, searched several estates. and had taken a great number of negroes from them. These have been, as it appears, returned to their masters, and among them, those that were taken from Zulueta’s estate, and Zulueta him- self has been removed from prison to his own house, under arrest. The object of the Captain- General is probably to patch up the unjustifia- ble act of searching the estates of the island before any authorization was issued for the purpose. The present agreement between the English and Spanish governments, as it is proposed by the first, and as communicated to us, is as fol- lows :— 1st. That England will consent to the importation into Cuba of apprentices from Africa, for ten years apprenticeship. 2d. That a new census of every slave in Cuba will be formed_now by a m'xed commission, authorized to search every estate in the island, so that in fature they can ascertain whether new slaves have been introduced. 3d. That in fifty years from the aczeptance of these propositions, and treaty based thereon, the present elayes and their children will be set free. A draft, embracing these main propositions, has been sent, it seems, to the English Consul and to the Captain-General., in order to consult the principal corporations and planters of Cuba, and bring the bargain or treaty to a final set- tlement. Judge Sharkey, while in Havana, we further understand, did communicate part of this echeme to the President ; and we are ad- vised, also, that the present acting consul, Mr. tobertson, has given more ample details on this same subject to the administration. Such is the substance of our special informa- tion from Cuba concerning the movement of England in reference to slavery in the island of Cuba. Letench a compact be adopted as the projét we have given foreshadows, and Cuba to the United States becomes forbidden fruit. It is doubtless the primary object of England thus to defeat the policy of “ manifest destiny.” and her ulterior motive we may fairly presume is, to establish in Cuba such » black organi- zation as will be most effective in assailing the Spe Spa institution of slavery in our Southern States. We presume that the administration, having been duly informed of the facts in the promises, has teken the proper steps, consistent with our relations to the isl of Cuba, and with our policy concerning the institutions of t ith, tera full understanding with the government f England upon this subject. Perhaps the in- tructions to Mr. Buchanan and Mr, Soulé may cover this matter. If they do not, no m Can be done, and much mi hief may be preveg «d, by euch timely proceedi Hi ulp in the ud this British echeme of a Jamaica protecto- as shi rate over the island of Cuba, or of an abolition confederation comprehendiug all the West India islands.

Ternpie Morrauiry wv New Orteans— Reuer Movements.—The deaths by yellow fever in New Orleans, on Saturday last, are, by some reports. set down as high as one hundred and fifty. From the panic which the epidemic has ereated, it is probable that this mortality has occurred in a population diminished to seventy-five thousand. The same per centage, therefore, of mortality in New York, would be equivalent to ten or eleven hundred deaths per day, or from seven to eight thousand per week. This is fearful to think of. The scourge in New Orleans is making its most destructive ravages among the poor and destitute portion of the in- habitants, and among the German and other European emigrants landing daily from the pestilential holds of emigrant ships. in the midst of the more fatal malaria of the yellow fever. Hence the cry for help—a cry to which we are gratified to perceive our fellow citizens are responding. We trust that the Astor House movement. will be followed up. and that our adopted citizens will join liberally in their con- tributions for the rélief of their suffering coun- trymen in the city of the plague. It is a mat- ter of life and death. Gexerat Scorr—We learn that General Scott pas taken up his quarters for a week or ten days at the Pavilion at Rockaway. This brings a versicle of Brigadier-General Morris into requisition:— . On Old Long Island's sea-girt shore Full many an hour I’ve whiled away, In listening to the breakers’ roar That wash the beach of Rockaway. We hope that Gen. Scott will fully realize the beauty of the poetry, and the virtues of the sea air, and the breakers of Rockaway. Talk on ’Change. Cotton seld to the extent of 1,500 bales. Breadstuffs and provisions were dull, Common brands State flour were 6c. per bbl. lower. The un:ettled and depressed state of the foreign exchange market operated unfavor ably upon the priees of produce. There was some dis- position also manifested to await the receipt of the Africa’s news. Sugars were more active, the sales yer terday having reached in the aggregate near 2,000 hhds. part of which sold in bond for export. Jobbers were al- go tolerably free purchasers. Various opinions were expressed regarding the weekly bank returns. Some persons considered them more favorable than they had anticipated, while others thought a number of them did not make as satisfactory an exhibit &s they had expected. Others, again, did not attach great importance to them, one way or the other, as indicating with strict reliability their real condition. From the returns made the real character and amount of their assets were not known, Others said, without some explanation, some ofthe returns might make a wrong impression. Thus the Bank of Commerce returned $025,914, in specie; $3,592,801, deposits; $3,340, circulation, and $0,073,087, leans and discounts. This back had not depended upon its eirenlation for businesr, but had generally used the bills of other banks. The large amount of its loans and discounts was sald to be owing to its heavy business with western institutions, &c. Others, again, were un- able to contre] the amount of specie locked up ia ingots, or at the mint, which actuslly belongs to them. The small amount of specie held by some of the free banks was also not to be wondered at, as their capital con- sisted im deposits cf stocks with the comptroller. The law eonfining weekly reports from city banks was considexed invidious in iti operation. It was eaid that its action was thus localized, through the influence of country members, as a sort of retaliation on the city for uwgirg measures compelling country banks to adopt par redemption, cr as near to it aa possible, The city members shovld have moved that banks in all parts of the State should be compelled to make weckly reports. Itwas absurd to exempt other banks, and especially those jn the towns, auch os Rrooklyn, Williamsburg, Albany, Buffalo, Oswego, Utica, and Troy, and compel city banks to make returns. Country farm ern could not be benefitted by such a partial law. If they crippled the moneyed institutions of the city, their produce weuld, sooner or later, be influenced unfavora: bly by it. Besides which, the law remained so partial, it might lead, in rome cases, to its evasion. It would be possible for a weak city bank to borrow temporarily means from institutions in Brooklyn, Albany, or other towns, merely to figure in their report The amount of gold dust reported by the Star of the ‘West wa: larger than was antieipated, andthe miniag news, both in Califorsia and in Oregon, was considered quite favorable. Reporte of destructive fires were looked for as a matter of course. Arrival of the Dankh Corvette Saga, DESCRIPTION OF THE VESSEL—NAMES OF OFFICERS. On Monday evenirg, the Danish ship of war Saga, Capt. Pocha, arrived at this port from Boston, It is the inten- tion of her commander that she ehall remain for some time, in order to give her officers and crew an opportanity to visit the Empire City. Yesterday afternoon we visited this foreign man of war, and learned from her officers thet she was built under the governmert efficers at Co- penhagen, from whence she sailed on the 25th May last, for the Faro Irlands; here they stopped some five days, in order te take in fresh provisions and water. From these islands they set rail for the irland of Iceland, which isa colony of Denmark, and, after sojourning there for about two weeks in the polar regions, they sailed for Bos ton, where they arrived during the latter part of July. After visiting that city, her commander, wishing to visit the metropolis of America, took leave of the Bostonians and steered for this city, and after a pastage of five days, during which they enconutered some very severe weather, arrived on Monday evening. The Sega isa very fine model and built upon the very latest plans, being as sharp ag an ordinary clipper, with aclean sweep aft. Some idea may be formed of her fine sailing capacities, when we state that she has perform: ed the entire passage in less than two months, which, taking into consideration how far north she has been, is an ex!zaordizary voyage. She is about 250 tons register, and is manned by over one hundred men, who are well trained and dicciplined. She mounts twelve long eighteen pound guns, which are worked upon the same plan as those in use in the navy of the United States. The men, both marines and seamen, are dressed in blue panta- loone and coats, somewhat resembling the uniform of the navy of this country. The crew is very clean and healthy, not a case of sickness having occurred on board during the trip here, nor has there been one since they left Copenbagen, During yecterday, the Danish consul, Edward Bech, Esq , proceeded on board, and was cor- dially reoeived by the commander of the Saga, who order: ed a salute of reven gnns to be fired in honor of this individual, who, afier inspecting the ship, returned to the city in the evening.

Collision on the Camden and Amboy Road— Four Persons Killes, and Several Others Badly Injured, &c. About twenty minutes past four o'clock yesterday afterncon a coliision took place between two trains of pareepger cars on the Camden and Amboy Railroad, at a place called Old Bridge, about ten miles beyond Amboy, The train coming from Philadelphia was moving at the rate of about eight miles ap hour; the train from New York was going about thirty miles an hour, and this train is understood to have been out of tine. ‘Three passengers on the train from New York were in. stantly killed, and a fourth has since died. One of them was a man, tWo were women, and the third a boy. Their names we have not learned. Fifteen or twenty more were iojured—five or tix of them badly. One little girl had poth legs broken, Her faiher and motker were also injured. The engincer of the New York train is reported to bave run ay ‘The passengers held an indigvation meeting, and passed very etrovg resolutions against the company and its agents. The engines were both new, and were badly smashed. ‘The passengers reached tiis city a little before mid- night. They were muck excited, and very indignant towards the company. They blame the engineer of the train from New York. One dead man was carried through the streets about twelve o’clock, on a bier. FURTHER PARTICTLARS. Mr. James Tool, of Port Carbon, informs us that he was on board the train, and thet he saw five persoos dead. Four of the cars were completely beemeared with blocd, The women and children screamed frightfully, He tays it was the first day that the engiasor from New York had been on fhe train, and that he did not run away. About thirty injured passengers were brosght on to New York by the boat. Mr Tocl escaped singularly. He and his friend, Bor- nard Keefe, went in the forward car, to find seats, but it was full. The conductor took them back to the hind most ear; and it is not improbable that to this cirsum stance they owe their escape from injury, aud perbaps from death, Mr. Dodgon, from Washington, was on board the train, with his son, who received some injury. They both came on to the Astor House last evening. Mr. J H. Rowland, of Norfolk, Va., was so much in- jured that he cent for physician after his arrival at the Irving House; but he is believed to be doing well. “Miss Childs and three children were with him, They escaped unhurt. Mr. H. C. Carey, of Burlington, N. J., was on board the cars, He was accompanied by Mies Etheredge, who re ceived some injury. ‘Miss Mary McCormick, of Harrisburg, Pa., bruised slight- ly in one foot. Her father, who was with her, unhurt. Miss M. Busblin, of same place, one foot bruised slightly. A. M. Jones, from Washington, bruised eonsiderably. Accoroner’s inquest was commenced near the scene of sigughter last evenirg. About thirty of the passengers came on to the Irving House last evening, but they were able to accommodate but few of them. ‘We have reen a leiter from D. H. Dustin, Esq., of this city, of which the following is a copy:— To Maj. A. Srpart, New York:—A collission occurred abeut 4 o’clock. My little girl and nuree killed. AU the rest well, God Almighty save in thisour Cae 1s: . H. TIN. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. NAMES OF THE KILLED AND WOUNDED, ETC. ‘The passengers who left in the boat for Amboy, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, left Amboy in the cars, at 5 o’cloek, en route for Philadelphia—the engineer driving on at his utmost speed, to gain some twenty minutes lost time.

W. 8, Bliss, who has beea taken away from amongst us by the unspsring attack of the yellow fever, which is now eommitting such frightful ravages in New Orleans, The death of this distinguished officer must awaken feeliags of an unusually painful nature in the heart of every American, when they recol- lect how zealously he served his country, both im the ecuncil chamber and on the batrle field, and with what faithful devotion he gave his best energies, both mental and physical, to her cauce, in the late Mexican war, He is now gone from amongst us—he has fought his lest fight; but a brief retrospect of his brilliant career will, we are certain, be read with faterest, Colonel Bliss graduated at the Military Academy at West Point, and was promoted as brevet second Meute- vant of the Fourth Regiment of iufantry upon the first of July, 1833. His commission as second leutenant ia dated upon the 31st of March, 1804. In consequenes of. his scientific attainments he was appointed to the post of acting assistant professor of mathematics in the West Point Academy, upon the 24 of October, 1834, and eone tinued to discharge the important duties of his new posi+ tion, with credit to himself and great advantage to the members of his class, from that date up to the first of June, 1837, when he was made assistant professer of the same branch, and continued in that capacity till the 3 of January, 1840—baving received a commission af firet lieutenant upon the 2let of September, 1636, and declined the offer of an appointment as first lieutenant of Topographical Engineers upon the 7th of July, 1838. Upen the 23th of October, 1899, the deceased officer joined the army as brevet exptaim and assistant aojutant general upon the staff of his late father in-law, General Taylor, and he served as chief of the general staff in the Mexican cam, during the years 1846 and 1847.

The degree ot Ma-ter of Acts was conferred upon hira by Dartmouth College in the year 1848, in consequence of his literary attainments and refined taste. Most of our readers are acquainted with his career im Mexico, and during hi ‘ive service, during which time he fully realized the anticipations which General Seott formed of him when reéommending him to the at War for the post of Aesictant Adjutant Ger of Staff. Writing at Washiogton, upon June 19, 1846, General Scott thus addressed the War Minister with refe- rence to the appointment :— That Captain W. W.S.

His subrequent career did not belie the expectation of hix superior officer; for in hia capacity of Adjutant General he gave expression to the aly bevhy of hia illustrious father in-law, in words whi le his semti- ments as withering to’an opponent as the shot of his cannon. When upon the 224 of February, 1847, General Sante, Ange arsured General Taylor of his *' particular consi- deration’” by informing him that he was surrounded witle twenty thousand Mexicars, and demanding the surren- der of our army; Colorel Blixs inquired the General how he rbould reply to the letter?

DEATH OF EX-CHIEF JUSTICE JONES—MEETING OP THE Bak. Intelligence of the death of this learned and venerable meinber of the New York Bar, was received in the eity yesterday. He died at the reeidense of a relative on Long Island; and immediately on the information reaehing New York, a meeting of the members of the prefession was held, which would have been more numerous but that at this season of the year most of the la-vyers are out of town. Judge Jones, who fermerly distinguished himself aa charcellor, was a man of the most profound knowledge of legal jurisprudence, and of pure integrity and eminent talents, When Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the city of New York he delivered many decisions which new form the text beok of modern practitioners; his ele- quence was unostentatious, but persuasive, and his legal arguments, as an advocate at the bar, unanswerable and inyincible. ‘Judge Jones had attained more than three score azd;ten years—the age sllotted by divine ordisance to man—yet, to the last, he retained his feculties, and died leaving behind him a distinguished reputation and a name second to none in the legal annals of our country, With all the vigor and energy of ycuth, and with an eloquence and an earnestness that could not be surpassed by the most gifted forensic member oi the bar, Judge Janes, = few brief months ago, delivered a brilliant and logical ar- gument in favor of the Broadway railroad, bofore that bench on which he for years presided, as Chief Justice, with so much dignity, learning, and grace. Several members of the learned p ‘cfession met on the occasion yesterday, after a brief notice, amongst whom were Messrs. R. J. Dillon, Coun:el for the Corporation; Hiram Ketchum, Edward Sandferd M. 8, Bidwell, M. Van Cott, J Lorimer Grabam, J. Clark, Jos. Blunt. The Hon, Judge Duer was called on io preside, and the Hon, Jadges Dely and Paine, and Messrs. troog and Robinson were requested to act as vice presidents. Ex-Judge Kent and J. Lorimer Graham, were appointed secretaries. After some prefatory remarks, eulogietic of the high publie and private character of the deceased Judge, Mr. Edward Sandford read the fo'lowing resolutions :— It has pleased Divine Providence to remove frem his earthly labors the venerable samuel Jones, and the bar of New York and the country have sustained a loss of pure integrity, eminent talentn, vast legal attaiaments, and exalted personal worth. His enc ant for the profession in the effice ofhis father, the late Samuel Jones, who was ungur- passed in clearness of intellect, aud his attainments in jurisprudence, prepared and discipliced his mind for the profersional coxtlicts in which he engaged at the com- mencement of his prefeaional career with the bar of that era. His prefounc learuing his astute discernment, his uawearied avsiduity and great powers of enduranee, his close reasong end rkilful logic placed him in the first rank of that bac of which his honored parent was called the father, and which presented a continuation of talent rarely eq ql Before a bench which refected high honor upon our State, with competitors whose learnteg, eloquenes, and ragacity, exalted their fame, our lace veneravle brother ta'ned his bigh stending until the month of Janu- ary. 1826, when the late Governor Ciiuton called him the highest judicial office, and appointed him Chancellor of the & of New York. He brought to the hesch a vart professional experienee, great learuirg, sourd judgment, spot ess integrity, and a pure jove of justice. He performed the duties of this cflice with le industry, dignivy, and firmness, until the month of April, 1828, when be was appointed Chief Justice of the Superior Court of the city of New York, The duties of this important office, at the head of the court which has been more occupied #ith important ques- tions cf commercial law than avy other tribunal in our country, were Cischarged with unbending integrity, un- pullied purity, and gentlemanly courtesy, for a period of nearly twenty yearr. ‘The constiution of 1847 having provided for the elec- tion of judges by the people, in June, 1847, Chie Justice Jones was elected a Judge of the Supreme Court for this district, and in the allotment drew the shortest term of that offiee, hy virtue of wuies he became a Judge of the Conrt of Fa (gate from Joly 1. 1847, to January 1, 1849, In this Ligh court be comm acéed the respect and esteem of his asrociates by bis unrivalled lysrning, his enlarged capacity, bis untinpaired and roud judgaent, The residue term for January, 1849, to Janus 1860, was spent in the Supreme Ovart of thir aistrict, He closed his judicial career and returned to the prastiee Cf bis pretension, among ® bax who had geown up arourd bim, who venerated hia for bis age and ri experience, revered nim for his talents and attaiament 9nd bonorad bim for the purity of hts long and uaolem= ished life, a Ho engaged in the contests of the bar at ths advanced #76 of upwards of eighty years, wich all the actor of youth, with all the vigor of tauhood, and all the wisdom Cf vert ohalnments, vivid wemory, and rips experience; and continued, until withla tvo months past, to exhibit 8 fro bress of zeal a cleeroe s of faulting, & quickness and Celi f tact, aud @ power sud comproh vonesa Of arvuwent, which bave beoa equally astovishing, ine structing. and delightfol.
