The Latest from Washington: SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, SENATOR WELLER’S POSITION DEFINED—HIS OPINION OFTHE FREE SO1LERS—NATIONAL DEMOCRATS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE—THE COURSE OF GEN. CASE, ETC., BTC. Wasuinaton, Noy, 21, 1853, Senator Weller, of California, bas written a letter in reply to the invitation of the committee of the national democracy, to attend the meeting in New York, on Wed- nesday evening next. Mr, Weller comes ont plainly and unequivocally in defence of the national democracy, and in opposition to the coarse of the administration in the matter of appointments; and, in their recognition of the Van Buren free soil faction, he says be cannot forget that it was that faction which traitorously deserted the demo- cratic party in 48, and that whilst the leaders of that movement must be regarded as traitors, he atill is willing to admit the rank and file back again, not asa faction, but as s pcrtion of the national demooratic party. This amnesty, however, should not entitle them to front seats, to the exclusion of those who have always stood firm in defence of democratic principles. The acquies- cence of the Van Buren faction in the compromise m sures in ’62, no more entitles them to be received back again into the party as its prominent men, than it does those Seward whigs, who were also compelled at Balti- more to swallow the fugitive slave law. He evidently be- lieves in the wisdom of putting such men oa probation, so as to test their sincerity. This letter of Mr. Weller opens the Congressional game. It is stated on good authority that Mr. Marcy has pub- licly declared his intontion of advising the President to remove every old hunker, i. ¢. national democrat, holding office in New York. I have no idea, however, that the President will consent to second Marey’a plans of ven- eance; and there are members of the Cabinet who would resign before such plans would meet their aprroval. No Cabinet meeting has beon held for more than a week. It is understood, therefore, that the mosaage is yet in erabryo. s sie ; fe vey 8 atmente foating About to the eifect that #4 isto be the isacct of the administration party in the Senate, ara merely conjectaral. General Cass has expressed no opinion whatever to any person, upon the policy of the administration in the matter of appoint- ment®, and the deep aflliction he has been laboring under may well form his excuse, His future course must be Judged by his past history. The time is gone by, howe- ver, when in¢ividuals can lead"parties by the nose, by vir- tue of divine right. Statesmen mast follow public opinion closely, or the latter will distance them. ASMODEUS. NEWSPAPORIAL--THE PUBLIC PRINTING—HOWELL COBB AND THEGEORGIA DEMOCRACY—THE SPEAK- ERSHIP—THE MESILLA VALLEY BOUNDARY, ETC. Wasmncron, Nov. 21—8 P. M. T understerd that Col. Watterson, ex-member or Con- gress from Tennessee, has become an editor and partner {n the Union newspaper. As the administration organ, they count Jargely upon the Congress priating, They count upon beating the combined forces of the national democrats and whigs in both houses. The defeat of Governor Cobb for the Senate, by the Geor- gis democratic caucuss, creates a sensation Cobb posi- tively declined the French mission, in expéctation of the Senate, His rejection by the secessionists will, it is feared, splitpp the Georgia democracy in true New York style. But Jefferson Davis may be elected to the Senate from Mississippi. He may accept, in which ease Mr. Cobb mayibe appeased by a place in the Cabinet; otherwise Geor- gia is disorganized The party requires constant patching. About half of the one dozen members that have ar- rived, are candidates for Speaker. The President will, it is supposed, give an exoeedingly flattering account of the existing relations between the United States and Mexico, and of the prosgect of on ami- cable adjustment of the Mesilla boundary. We shall get the territory. BRUTUS, MORE ABOUT THE SPEAKERSHIP. Wastuxetox, Nov. 21—834 P, Mf. Mr. Disney, of Ohio, is back again from New York.

Provipencr, Nov. 21, 1853. The election returns from seven towns indicate that the Constitutional Ccnvention haa been voted down by a great majority. In Tiverton, a whig Senator has been elected te filla vacancy. This, it is thought, gives the Convention one majority in the Senate, although the democratic majority will still be three, From New Branewick. Boston, Nov. 21, 1853.

Coroners? Inquest. A May Kinixp py Ma.reactice—Mystertovs Arrasn.— Yesterday, Coroner Hilton held an inquest at the New York Hospital, on the body of a maa, named Hogh McKinna, a native of Ireland, about. thirty five veer of age, who came to his death un- cer the following circumstances:—The deceased, it seems, bad been injared on a railroad, and been at- tended prior to being admitted into the Hospital, by a person who had bled him excessively in the way of treatment, and then caused the injured man to be conveyed to the Hospital in an insensible condition. After being admitted into the Hospital, the deceased sufficiently recovered to be enabled to give his name. The following evidence, taken before the Coroner's Jury, contains all the facts elicited :— Teaac Wittman, sworn, says—I am one of the nurees at the Hospital; the deceased was brought into the Hospital on Tuesday Iast in a state of in- sensibility, by some unknown man; deceased short- ly afterwards came partially to his senses, and in- formed me that he was at work on a railroad, and that the cowcatcher of the engine struck him and threw him off the track; he did not say that any one was to blame for the accident; he did not say on what road the accident happened. Dr. Agnew sworn, said—1I am one of the house furgeons at the hogpital; Dr. Derby, during my ab- sence, attended the deceased until my retarn, on Thursday last, when he came under my care; he was in a partial state of insensibility, which was varied by delirium; he continued in this condition up to Sunday, the 20th instant, when he died; the record of the case states that when he was admitted the left elbow was covered by a bandage, such as used after bleeding; on removing this bandage an ordinary wound was visible from veneection; the want of a knowledge of the history of the case pre- vious to sdmission into the hospital, makes it im- pnw to say how much bleeding had to do with his condition; bleeding in the early stage of such cases was extraordivary practice; ona post mortem examination the vessels of the brain were found in- jected, aud blood effused beneath its membranes ; the chest was severely contused, and its right cavity filled with sero purulent matter; the condition of bis head. and chest constituted a suffictent cause of death. The jury, on the above evidence, rendered the followiog verdict:—-‘That the said deceased camo to his desth, primarily, by injuries received in some way tothe jury unknown.—-Marther, we believe the immediate cause of death to be injudieious and excessive venerection, by some pereon to us un known.” Laver ynow Crracos.—The brig Azalin, Capt.

This society circulated in 1824, the first year ot its operations, 583 Bibles; now it distributes 50,000 copies annually. ‘The first care cf the society is to supply the desti- tute resident population. Between February, 1849, and July, 1862,a thorough exploration of the city ‘was accomplished—ward by ward, street by street, house by house, and family by family. So great are the changes in the course of three years that there is apparently an entirely new race of inhabitants. The visitatien has been conducted by Mr. Watson. He has visited during the year 13,449 families. Of these, 3,236 were totally destitute of the Scriptures— an average of about twenty-four per cent, or nearly one quarter af the whole. This per centage, how- ever, is much less than at the former visitation. ‘Then in the worst supplied districts the per centage was thirty-one; now it is only twenty-six. Of the 3,236 destitute families, 848, or about one quarter, refused the Bible, 1,348 were supplied by sale or gift, and the remaining 1,115 were left unsupplied, chiefly on account of their inability to read. The cost of this distribution has been $673, and the amount received from rales by this ageat, $173. The whole number of volumes d'stributed by him is 8,957. The society had also tho services of Mr. Goubleman to assist Mr. Watson. He was formerly attached to a department among the resident Germans, and he reports the distribation of 470 Bibles and 1,154 Testaments among tha’ class. It will be perceived that while over: 13,000 families have been visited, less than 400 volumes have been dis: tributed. If our object were to circulate the greatest postible number of Bibles, it would have been easy to have given away ten times this amount. But this is not our design. The journal of Mr. Watson re- flects in its simple narrative maty startling glimpses of that moral degradation and those organized forms of vice which cast so black a shadow over the chris- tian civilization of this greet city. The refusals from the Roman Catholic population are uniform and per- sistent, just in preportion to their bigotry and igno- raxce, and refusalsupon grounds almost identical in every case—showing that the paramount authority of tke church has been at work. It is evident from the facts of the case that between Romanism aud Protestartism it is not a question of different versions of the scriptures, or of the respective merits of the Dousy or the English translation. It isa question of giving the Bible to the ple or with- holding it from them. We do not find the Church of Rome anticipatiag us by a distribu- tion of the scriptures of any version—their effor's are confined to the prevention of our distribution. Our_ogent slways recommends the perusal of the Douay Bible when possessed by any family, or directa those who desire it where they find it. As to the bat population for the first time there is a large faliivg off. In the Irish emigration, the decreage as compared with rear is 15,679. Tn the German itis 10,675. In the Boglish, Scotch, and Welch, 6,705. In the French, 2,220. Last year 2,962 emigrants arrived here from Norway; this year only 362. From Spain, Italy and Portagai the num- ber has increased from 714 to 1,422. e total de- crease is 40,854, caused in part by the diversion of the emigration to Australia, by the increase of wages in England and Ireland, ani other — of Earepe, and in part by the prevalence of epidemics on ship- board, in recent es to this sountry, which have deterred many from embarking. Still, the number ey, arrived is 268,920—a pumber exceeding one half of our permanent population. This societ: meets them on the thresbhold of their new life wit! the Bible. During the past year they have distri- buted to this class 9.376 volumes, through Mr. Con- rad Ritting, smong the German and French Cin and through Mr, Stephen Smyth, among the Irish. The Swedes, Danes and Norwegians have also beea supplied to the amount of 700 volumes. In addition to this, 18,000 volvmes havo been placed ou board B84 emigrant ships bases the pact year. ‘This is by way of anticipating emigrants before they arrive. The B bles are deposited with the captains and mates, who are found very faithful to their trust. To otber d ions of ships the Bible is also given, ‘The number of vessels arriving from all parts daring the year was 3,522, and these carry the Bible ail over the earth. The Committee bas increased ite distri- bution over the year 1852 by 10,985 volumes. Eimt- rant — to California have received 3,083 ro. lunes, 38 pansenger vessels to A received 1,683 volumes.

This year, up to the St of June, the sales reached $4,762 volumes. Shortly after our removal to the new Bible House our operations in this department were suspended. Rev. P.R. F Mervurx, of Morrisania, was then intro tuced, and addressed the meeting. He had been Tequested, he said, to move the adoption of the re- port and abstract, which had just been read. It was remarked by a geutleman that the simple dignity of the cause was tufficient to sustain them amid all vicissitudes. Among all societies around them, it was for this society to feel that their cause had bine dignity; that it was tke toundation of them all. It is but a simple book that we are to send forth, yet who does not feel that in the centre of all action there is some vivid thought of God. When that thought is clothed in language, and that lan- guage printed in a book, then has it its greatest power. Four hundred years ago trath stood in the world praying for freedom and di:semi- nation, and God heard the prayer and made her stand upon the press, so that all the world should bear. It is @ grand thing to send forth the noblest thought of man’s heart couched in the noblest language. But the Bible is the thought of God, ard transfuses with its own heavenly glow whatever there ig in human action that can be con- secrated to God. Speaking thus of it a3 a book, leads to the reflection that the great object of this society was to be achieved by this book as a book independent of all connections. The first great work of the first three or tour cexturies was to take awoy the book from Pagan superstitions. The re- formers worked to eliminate other superstitioss which bad grown upon it, and now the werk is to ponily ig from the errors left hy. the.teformers. In japab there ig @ population equal to that of the. United States, and more people can read and write in it in NEUE Se than they can in the State of New York. So, too, wiih the Chinese. When a pele is takea not accustomed 10 thought an ing, you can only affect the outer edge of the empire; but when they are accustomed to read and think, then bring this divine influence of them, aud it will saturate throughout. Speaking on thet book, he would ask them to notice how it must be that if the Bible is universally circulated, it must bring every heart to acknowledge its divine autho- rity. When the simple traths of the Bible take hold ou the mind, they fasten on it so that they cannot be loosened. The human mind could not originate apytbing more than the fact of Gud’s being; but when they are once given, they cennot be dis missed, they are so exactly fitted to the spiri- tual wants of the mind. Other fdeas may fit illy over them, but they remain there, a gem of the soul. False systems may be brought to bear, but after all their contradicting, truth exerts its inflasnce and brings the mind back to something better. ‘These truths are but simple; they are but few; bat when ovce fixed in the mind, tl drive off from them every false system. If the Bible be universally circulated, no system of error can retain its hold; the simple application of those truths cracks them into spfntere. In the early ages of tue church tae principle of faith was the one entire principle which governed the world; and three centuries ago the Bible piaupes that, and left thought aud reason to its own wide domain. It is for the Bible now again to undo that work; it will shike off system alter system, and the world’s thonght will come back again to the simple Biole. Then may we expect a gradual and easy develovement of the kingdom of God over the earth. But it the dark day should ie infidelity should be eathroned, en there shall come forth a voice—' King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets ¢ 1 know that thou believest.”” And infi- delity shall shrink back abushtd before that light trom God. Atier the speaker retired, the choir performed some sacred music, MM. Russei, Hare, of Philadelphis, was next a- tredneed, and addressed thy andi He deemed i ead, to bave been invited to addres It is true, itis culled the New York Bi and its sphere is in this great metropo lis, but be should form a very poor cosce stion of the socitty who thought that this l.bor was restrained to this city. The sailor, the s the old worid, the artizan in tus w rkshop, the lubor- er in the field avd ix the wires, may thus b brought under the influeace of this ‘sacred so ciety. The philosophic jest of © Archimede becomes 9. solemn truth. A fulcrum has beeo found on which to place a lever to raise the world. The lever 's the Word of Goé; the fulcrum is the evergy and activity which we bricg to bear cpon its circulation. There is oue view of tiis matter which, be thought. must have struck the mind of every man who read the report of 1852 with peculiar force. It is therein shown that, during the year ending Ist November, 1852, the number of ar rae arriving in this city reached 309,000 souls. It is truly and eloquently eaid that the steady tramp of that host is constantly resounding a3 a warning to the citizens of New York and America to meet this danger. That it is met is shown by the fact that 25,000 Bibles have been distributed among those emigrants. On nothing does the perpetuity of our free wstitutions and tho, stubility of ovr ,republicua government so much depend as upon the general dissemination and general acceptance of the truths of the Bible. Many plants grew in Eden, but God saw fit to plant there but one tree of life, and so he has revealed to man but one path to virtue, and that is shown in the Bible. Tbat uations cannot exist without morality {: the primal trath of history, written alike ic the destruction of constitutions snd in our time in cha- racters hideous and grotesque on the walls of every capital in Europe. How important then dees it be- come, not only in a religious point of view, but ia re- ference to the waintenance cf our civil government, that emigrants should be provided with that book which teaches those high and virtuous principles, without which it is impossible to become good citi- zevs. If we would defend ourvelves from the immor- ality of Europe,and from the agrarianism and infldelity which wakes war on the very throne of God, we must tee to it that we disseminats the holy trath contained in the page: the Bible. He might not speak of the great position which the Bible Society of New York cccupied. She is the gateway of this conti- nent, through which this tide of emigration is con- ttantly setting. Here in this great gateway, like Milton’s srcbougel,standing between a world donor ed and a world renewed, stands the New York Bible Society, christiavizing the masses. She has a right to ap ea! to religion, to morality, and to patriotism to ai he her in carrying out the great Page re she has in view. New York has the honor of having estab- lished the first Bible society in America. It was founded by the Baptists in 1804. The active opera vicns of the N. Y. Bible Society and the interest felt in them, gives the world assurance that New York has not departed one jot from her ancient faith. Its plat- form was strong enough and broad enough for ail Christian men to stand upon. Sucha work as this, prosecuted with sucha zeal,and standing on such a joundation, cannot be but eminently successful. ‘The Pxxsipent? then announced that a collection would be token up. ‘The audience was text addressed by Rev. Jonn Town, of Pittsfield, Mass. It was a listle remarkable, he sai¢, that the church of God was originally an emigrant. He set bis face to eastward. He had not come eo far as they, but he went to Pelestine. Since then, the church has been travelling eastward; and to-night we are assembled as part of this emigration. Poor bumavitystarted from Eden in the centre of Asia, sud has now reacbed the Pacific; whether she will make another circuit is yet a problem. It is mournful, in looking oyer the pathway our race bas trod, to see what they have left benind them. are the pyramids, and Babylon, and Nineveh, and the past gs Hittle left but fexrae and graves, and buried nations. The light that came from heaven was quenched in darkness; and when elo- quent men were sent out to spread the light, the: bad not the way to fasten it; they had not their schools nor their colleges; the people bad not the Bible; the ecrihes could not write then. But oh, if they had bad the power of the pres, we would not have met hese this evening, looking around, and backward, ond forward, feeling that here alone is hope for the human race for the future. The past is dreary. Had they possessed these means, this world would have been very different in its moral aspects frem what it is to-night. No body but a believer in God's grace can have much hope fer this world. The mass is so dark, and the weight to he lifted up is so great, that nowhere Fut in the Bible can hope be found for accomplishing it. Bot with this instromentality great things can be done for God end with him. We need not despair of the world, “Though the monotains thereof shake and be carried into the sea, there isa river, the streams whereof shail defend the city of our Ged.” The Bible be walked over into a city of Europe snd led a little boy into the Sunday school. and tevgbt him, and heti him, and the spirit of God came down upon that little boy, and ‘he was raised up, and became the great Morrison who trapelated the Bible into the Chinese tongue. ier, the emigraut from | sity is the gateway ~ "ours its emigration, : Old World , ‘nel.

A Charge of Stealing $200.—Yesterday officer Miller, of the Tenth ward, arrested @ young man > named William H. Revere, on a charge of stealug two one bundred dojlara from the premises of John F. Reinecke, of No. 81 Chrystie street, on the 22d of October. It appears by the evidence before Justice Wood that the accused was on friendly terms with the son of complainant, and on the the money was stolen Revere was in the house of Mr. Reinecke, and observed a drawer open which contained a roll of bank bills, amounting to $800. From this pile of money Revere was tempted to extract two one hundred dollar bills. After obtaining the money the accused purchased with it a new suit of clothing, a gold wateh and chain, and the balance he spent in various ways. Within the last day or two the son of Mr. Reinecke suspected that Revere was the persom who stole the money, as_no other stranger had t been in the house. Under this impression he went to Re- vere and accused him of heing the thief; and the latter becoming alarmed acknowledged his guilt, and offered the gold watch and chain to the boy for the urpose of bushing up the matter, and inducing the- y not to tell his father. However, the boy would not consent to keep the secret, but forthwith in- formed his father, who, upon the facts, caused the arrest of Revere upon the charge. The accused has g'ven up the watch and chain, also the new clothing, which he acknowledges was purchased with a tion of the stolen money. Justice Wood, belore whom the accused was taken, cemmitted him to pri- son to await examination.
