Your readers generally, wio cannot complain of any stint of intelligence as to alfairs of an Executive, Con- gressional, or political character that take plice here— ‘will not, Tam convinced, object to # short chapter de seriptive of theatrical matters in this motropolis. It is | dy DO_means an uninteresting or inappropriate subject, for, inthe prosperity or decline of the drama may, to some extent, be traced the progress of enlightenment and firemen among people ‘This city manages to maintain two dramatic eatablish- | ments, one of Very large anu (le other of diminutive di- | mensions. These are the Nit/oual theatre, of which Mr. E. A. Marshall—of the Broadway, New York—is the | lessee and proprietor, and Risley's Varieté, the managers | and proprietors of which are Messrs, Risley and Goodall. | ‘The former is situated at tie westend of Pennsylvania | avenve, within one block uf Willard’s Hotel, and the la ter is located more centrally on the same thoroughfare, being within one or two blocks of Brown's and the Na. tional Hotel. As the National theatre is that which has the highest claim to attention, { simall devote the frst and ebief part of this communication to it The National theatre was erecied, or rather rebuilt— the former edifice having been burned a short time pre- viously—some three or four years ago, for the reception of Jenny Lind in the capital.

"So the seats in gradations to command forms themselves have ¢: i reotion, one end being considerably higher th other, thus forming a sort of architectural sliding which, however meritorions it may be in point of orig nality of invention, makes the sitting part anything but | Jaxurions. ‘The forms are se ntily and shabbily aphols- fared, and in some places in the dress circle the rude, unfinished woodwork is daubed over with a coat of brown paint. There is no such thing asa delier or gasalier in the house, and the the building generally is any‘hing but brilliant however is partly attribu:able to :he great width of the house, and in a still greater degree to the miserable sub- | stitute for gas which a vile m our citizens. So much for the external and internal appearance of the National Theatre. Ido not mention these things in disparagement of the establishment, or from a desire of being captious or fault-rinding; but Ido so—first, be- cause as a veridical his T could not omit alluding to them without being lisble fo a charge of partiality: and secondly, because the aolice of the matters to which Ihave alluded may prompt to the improvement, in some respects, of the appearance o! this really excellent theatre. Tnow come to the dramatic portion of my sketch; and having arrived at this point Ihave no further faults to find. No further complaint is necessary, or would ‘be appropriate. The stock company of the National is, in all respects, excellent, and can favorably compare with mést of your New York theatres, But, since the opening of the season, the manager has not depended on his stock company for at tower of Pisa, anata opoly here palms upon | | | Julia Dean, Collins, the Irish comedian, and | Forrest, have successively another actress of much i fame, has come upon the boars of the National, and has attracted much attention. ‘ihis artiste is named in the bills as Migs Annette Ince; and as a sort of guarantee of her ability, it is stated in these same not always reliable bills, that “ther recent unequalled iriumphs in New York, Philadelphia, and other cities, have been the theme o universal admiration’? I am much inclined to question the truth of this announcement, as Ido not recollect reading any criticism of liar periormances inthe Haaat and if she had made her detut in New York, a noti thereof would most certainly have appeared in i columns, But more of this anon. Tcannot say whether the exgagement of Miss Dean was & successful one or not, asi ii not happen to visit the theaire during her sojourn. iuat of Collins certainly was not. The public have Len satiated with the ridicu- lous burlesques of Irish charscter—as delineated by Col- ling, Barney Williams, and such *‘stare’’—and it is not to be wondered at that they are estimated at their real desert, or rather a little above ii still, ‘The engagement | of Forrest, however, r2j 4 the coffers of the treai ury, which must have been sly depleted by the results of the season up to that time. You could hardly imagine that the theatre, large as it is, was unable to accommo- date comfortably the vast ihron; to it to witness Forrest's aciing. Yet peared as stars; and now {, but almost unknown to i | in the house, except the; , And 50 it continued during the whole ment, which lasted three ox four w He was suc. ceeded by Mrs. Parren a3 » v.? Thin lady appeared to me to be one of the dixmest luminaries of the thea trical «tellar genus that J e.cr saw twinkle on the stage. ‘As the member of a regular stock company she might be perhaps regarded as above par, but as an artist aspiring toa nich in the temple of fame, her pretensions far out- ran her merits. It seemed that’ sno people in Washing- | ton came to the same couclusion, even without many of them witnessing her periormances, for they judiciously kept away during her short engagement, and patronized, prayer meetings and chemicul lectures instead of the drama. But I said that a new canlidate for popular applause has appeared on the boards of tise Natioual. Miss Annette Ince made her first appearance there last Monday evening inthe character of Julia, in the play of tho “Hunch- back.'’ Miss Ince isa young and handsome lady, and ‘one whose appearance does nut bespeak much adaptabili- ty for the profession she has chosen. She isa blonde, and as well ag I could mah¢ out from the indistinct view which my distance from the stage evabled me to get of her, «he hasan expansive brow and regular features, is of the medium height, and posvessea a graceful, though rather slender figure. For the charms and graces of her acting I can however vouch with more contidence. The character of Julia is one in which almost every modern actress has appeared, with more or less eclat, and though it requires much dramatic power in its representation, still the style of acting has been laid down long ago and is rarely deviated from. The Julia of Miss Dean is with | | | | venport—and both are but copies of that of Mrs, Kean. §0 that though that rolé is gener: Re- lected to exhibit the talents of young artistes, it affords but little opportunity of judgin, of their real merits. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, and it is for the purpose of quoting an exception that T'allade to it. All the artists whom | have seen perform the role of Julia, seem to have based their ideas of its impersonation on the theory that her passions were rather of the haughty, excitable and imperious kind, than of the truly pu: deeply loving and amiable, oversiadowed fora moment though they were by a stinging sense of huailiation. And so representing the character, Miss Julia has been shown up as not by any means the model young lady Cousin Walter prided himself on. Miss Ince, though she does not ignore the wounded pride of the heroine, ex- hibits it in a less violent manner than is customary ; but brings out in stronger relief, and in pleasing contrast, the feminine sensibility, and tne deep, pure, boundle. jove with which her rt was filled. I have rarely seen amore finished, exquisite and natural piece of acting than she displayed in that scene where, soliloquising, the heroine exolaims:— “TiPlove, and if not love, why, then, Tdolate that’s the word, to a ee ns hee In this, a8 in other scene were recognized in the plaudits of the au other characters of the piece were well maintained, Mr McDonough playing Master Walter with much ability, and Mr. Perry Sir Thomas Cliffers. that is absurd and unnataral in the plot of this play, although been so long a favorite on the knglish stage re, in the range of probabilities can be found a paraliel case of a parent wate over, and in the holiest bo anion with his child, an out any tuat of his deformity has no’ force—concealing aternity from her? where an earnest lover, weal hy as could be desired, who would be frightened o his love by an exhibition of Vagant tastes on the part of his mistress? and wl uld not afterwards be moved to tenderness by her pa sionate and tearful appeals, except so far as returning love might be exhibited in his attempting a rade famili arity? Nor is the character of “ Modus,”’ the young col legian, poring over Ovid's Art of Love, and yet neglecting his opportunities of practising the art upon his ‘sweet cousin’? more true to nature, though it is more permisai- sible in the construction of the piece, as being productive of effective scenes. It seems to me that all the male charactere—not omitting that of ‘* Lord Tinsel re ex travagances, or, atall events, that if they have counter parte anywhere in nature, it can only be in the country ‘or which the author wrote, and froim which he drew his materials. Miss Ince has since played in the melodrama of ‘Love. or the’ Countess and Serf,” and in the tragedy of “Fazio,” and | bave heard her highly spoken of in both.

Besides, we have peripatetic minstrels—harpers —who occasionally visit the of the hotels in the evening, and awaken the hearts of the schemers and poli- ticiana to something akin to emotion, by singing ‘la Mareeillaise,” ‘ Mourir Pour la Patrie,’’ and other French hymns of freedom. With them my description ends. NINGUNO, Wasninaton, March 20, 1854. ‘The Cuba Question—England vs. Russia— What are We to Expecl ?—Mr. Butler's Opinions—Movement in the Senate Sor the Relief of the Nebraska Bill in the House—A Bad Fiz for the Bill and the Administration—Prospect of War. In the incidental debate which sprang up this morning in the Senate on the Nebraska bill, Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, hit upon one point outside of the immediate question, which is of the highest signification and im- portance. He suggested the necessity of harmony and conciliation between the two sections of the Union, be- cause of the dangers to be apprehended from the present alliance between France and England. Let Russia be crushed in this war, and what guaranty is there that the je; most ladies here being in ao in full dre: the patronage present ‘‘ balance of power’? in the Gulf of Mexico will | not be invaded? There is none. The victorious French and English fleets and armies from the Baltic, the Black “Sea, and the Danube, nay very easily be detailed to ap propriate between the two powers the sovereignty of all the West India Islands, and perhaps the territories of Mexico and Central America. The inducements will be sirong, and the present’ Anglo-French alliance covers the regulation of the affairs of the Western as well as the | Fastern hemisphere. Mr. Butlor has the sagacity to seo the drift of this Eastern question, as far as this Western , hemisphere is concerned; aud before many months are over, bis views, and the views of the New York Hxrap, may be shared in by much larger proportion of the Southern members of both houses than at present. Mr. Butler has shaped out the general idea, and it will take root or die, as the war in Europe may disclose the ulte- rior schemes of England and France in regard to Cuba and the other West Indies. But this incidental debate upon the Nebraska quostion proper, is the most significant and important which yet taken place, either in or out of Congress. First, there was a leading editorial article in the Union yosterday, making the Nebraska bill test of democracy. Secondly, Mr. Badger this morning opened the debate ina per- | sonal explanation of what is known as the Badger amendment, declaring substantially the old French laws recognizing’ slavery in the Territories of this bill, as also superseded and set aside by this bill. Bat why did Mr. Badger rise this morning to make his explanation. Ostensibly in answer to certain remon- strances against the bill in North Carolina, but really in behalf of the bill in the House. His object, doubtless, was the result of a consultation, and it wasto give the weight of additional explanations from sev most powerful friends of the bill in the Senate, in sup- port of the measure as it lies before the House. Yet, in spite cf the pronunciamento of the Unionant of the efforts of Mr. Badger, Mr. Butler and Mr. Mason to make the Badger amendment and the bill as clear as the light of day, there was a break revealed in the South by Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, and by Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, who referred to the criticisms of va- rious Southern papers to show that the bill as pass. ed_is regarded by certain parties in the Sout! a Northern measure upon s Southern platform. Mr. Stuart, in the course of his remarks, said that he was the author of the Badger amendment, and made it the condition of his vote for the bill. His’ purpose was, in effect, that there should be no loop-hole for the in- troduetion of slavery into Kansas and Nebraska under cover of the old French laws recognizing wlavery, which existed in said Territories up to the time of the passage of the Missouri compromise, and which might construed aa coming again into force with the removal of the act of 1820 but for an express stipulation to the contrary. ‘This lift to the bill in the Senate is important rignificant of defection in the South, and of distressing weakness in the House; and, for good or for evil, the prospect becomes, every stronger that the’ bill will go by the board. The Dill will be very apt to fail; and thus the agitation will be thrown upon the country, with what consequences God only knows. Perhaps we may contrive to slip ina war wit Spain, with the aid of the apecial messenger to Madrid ard Mr. Soulé. It isthe last remaining chance for re- uniting the democratic party North and South. The messenger to Madrid goes flaming likes firebrand. He may return with Mr. Soulé and a call for war, which will extinguish Nebraska in the rush for Cuba. It is the last chance, and the most will be made of it, if this Nebraska bill falls through, you may depend upon it. v. WasninGTox, March 20, 1854. The Gadsden Treaty—The Black Warrior Case—A Flum- mux—The Nebraska Bill—Another Flummux—Opinions | of Gen. Bayly, and Col. Benton. The Senate have again gone into Executive Session on the Gadsden treaty. to the cxelusion of all the businoss of legislation, superseding even ihe Homestead bill, the spe- cial order of the day. From this it is very probable that we shall soon have the treaty disposed of one way or the other. The necessities of the Mexican Dictator admit of no delay, and this has perhaps induced the Administra- tion to hurry up the work in the Senate, so that Santa Anna may be supplied with the funds requisite to keep him on his legs fora yeur or two longer. But there is nothing in our relations with Mexico requiring this haste —or this expenditure of twenty millions of money. Bet- ter wait few months, and the Mexican people may do the job for us on a larger scale than Gen. Gadsden, and free of any extra expenses to the Treasury. But Santa Anna and the lobby must be relieved; and the chances now are that the fifteen millions to the Dictator, and the five milllons to the Mexican claimants, Including the Tehuantepeo poonte, will be sufficiently powerful to car- ry through the treaty. The solicitude of Mr. Mason, Chairman on Foreign’ Relations, indicates as much; and there are Northern Senators who are inclined to vote this treaty because it secures nothing but a desert. A new treaty mizht possibly give the South a new slavehold- ing State, and this a good many of the Northern Sena- tors are opposed to, in addition to the free soilers. The prospect that this treaty will shut off the South from any further advances into Mexico, makes it practically a Nor thern measure. Hence, while the South are inclined to favor it in hopes of the Pacific railroad; the North are posed to acquisce from anti-slavery consideration: Perhaps we may come to some approximation of the be state of the case from the action of the Senate to- day. The affatr of the Black Warrior, unless a row should be kicked up by the special agent to Madrid and Mr. Soulé, will prove a flummux. The President having failed to recommend anything, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs will not recommend anything. We understand that Gen. Bayly has declared as much, and insists, even if we | are invaded by Spain, that the President shall first re. commend before the house committee shall act; and if he dees not recommend anything explicit in such an exigen- cy, then the proper course will be to insist upon it that shall shoulder the responsibility, according to his ‘s under the constitution, and initiate the war, as nt Madison did in 1812, and as President Polk did 4 bill, it is now generally admitted, is an- The debate in the & ‘ke an old horse m the lift, y afflict d can't stand without propping the Senate.

There are said to be twenty-five or thirty majority for it in the House, by the more hopeful of the Administration men; yet it will be, in all robability, referred to the Commit: ce on the State of the Union by a large majority, there to sleep, without any violent interruption, till the first y in December next. CATO. Wasmisaton, March 20, 1854. The Land and Railroad Schemes before Congress—Who are Their Friends?—Jhe Nebraska Bill and the Western Members. It is evident that some of your correspondents in this | city belong to that wonderful class of people denomi- | | nated, in vulgar parlance, discoverers of ‘mare's nests.” In Sunday’s Heray both the telegraph and the mail appear to have conveyed to you the startling information that a deoply laid scheme was on foot here, by which | the government was to be pland i jog may announce a re-engagement fora few nights | ko, 4 plundered of money, lands, The South were to be forced to the commission of various crimes, and compelled to put their consciences | into their pockets, whilst the North was to be swallowed | up in the Irresistible tide which was to surge and roll over the country, A vast number of “lobby members,” {was said, were engaged in this diabolion! acheme, and Vg ceerespendents of Journels were to form » prin of the | h | ctpal part. What perticslar ‘‘part’’ these ‘leading oor. respondents’’ were to play is also stated, being neither more nor less than to hold their tongues whilst all this villany was going on. As Tam not as much behind the scenes as the letter writers who have made these startling discoveries, I can- not say whether the assertion is true or not, that some correspondents of papers may be woll paid for doing nothing. Lucky devils, they, if it is true. Such a lu- erative business, with ec little trouble, does not often fall to the lot of newspsper men. Allah be praised that the profession has risen here in respectability, ac- cording to your Sunday correspondents, from its mom. bers being the recipients of cast-off garments, to their new being paid, in moneysand land, for—doing . But it is scarcely necessary to ‘treat seriously thi “lobby member” discovery. Let us look at the measures before Con ind if we find these measures to be im- proper and dishonest, itmatters not whether or not ‘lobby’? influence is exerted, the measures should be denounced, and fae press Sean do everything in ite wer to protect tl of t! ple. If, on | proper abject af pass on their merits alone. + ‘The subject of granting to States alternate sections of land, for the purpose of aiding in the construction of railroads through the public lands, has for years been hefore the country, but the rat practical test which has been given the theory is in the case of the Illinois Central Railroad, Congress some years ago granted to Mlinois, to aid in the conatauction of the road, a portion of the land lying on its route. The official report made from the General Land Office, at the commencement of this Congress, shows that the government has received | for the alternate sections of land not given to the State | of Ilinois as much money ae the whole of the land— | that given to the State and that reserved by the vernment—would have brought, at the regu- \ Jar government price of the land previons to the road being constructed, Independent of this, it at once browgit intd the market, for immediate sale, the government lands on either side of the road, for thirty tiles, which before that could not be sold in consequence | of its remoteness from market, and there being no means of communication through the country. The grant has, therefore, not only aided in building a great railroad opening up the resources of that region, but it has brought into immediate sale, at enhanced prices, all the government land in the State. These are official | facts, which can be seen at length in the report of the | Commissioner of the Land Offce, of last December. It is not pretended that the land thus given by the gov- ernment, even if sold at double the price which the law directs, would build a railroad. But the State uses it as collateral security to raise money in Europe, and then by giving at the same time a mo on the road as fast ns it ix constructed, the security is complete. The earn- ings of the road, and the inerease in value of village sites, are calculated in the end to remunerate the State for its outlay. ‘The granting of public land, in aid of the construction of railroads through the public lands, is. a very different principle from the scheme to distribute the public lands to all the States. In the first proposition a small portion of the public lands is sought, which by making im- rovements has the effect of benefitting all the public nds in that locality, and, in fact, does not take a dollar from the public treasury. The plan of distributing the public lands to all the States is merely a question of giving away all the lands and depriving the general gov- ernment of them, for the benetit of the several States individually, without in any way giving an equivalent in the improvement of thelands therefor. The latter plan reeks to deprive the government of all benefit in the | public lands; the former makes the improvements through the public lands, receiving therefor «' seventh of the value of the road, and value of the lands alternating with w! State, so as to sell it, by law, at ' asked, namely, $2 50 an acre, instead ‘The alternate system does not depri of their share in the proceeds of the been urged, because it enhances t) land, by the very terms of the donation, just as much as it takes away, and hence it gives as great @ return of money into the public treasury as if not an acre was given away. It is not a distribution scheme, but a plan by which a quid pro quo is given, rapid settlement is induced, and the full ‘amount of money paid to the government for the lands that can now be paid for all the lands by law. The other | plan is simply a question of giving away to the ind States the proceeds of the public lands, instead of giving the money to the federal government. Each plan rests upon its own merits, and neither having anything in common, conflict. ‘The whole question has been for years past debated in Congress, in ull its length and breadth. Free discussion has taken place, and it is to be supposed that the princi- ple is fully understood by Congress. How lobby influence can be brought to bear to prejudice a question so well | considered is a matter not quite fo easily understood. But it is said the West intend to force the South to vote for these land bills, or they will defeat the Ne- braska bill. What foundation in truth is there for such an allegation? Some of the most ardent advocates of the Nebraska bill in the House are also the warm friends cf the land bills. Take, for instance, the Chair- man of the Committee on Territories, Mr. Richardson. Is he a person capable of such conduct as to sacrifice his position asa national man in order to force a fraud on the country! Mr. Bissell, of Illinois, is another man equally friendly to both measures. In the South the warmest friends of the land bills are found. The Alabama, Louis- iana, Kentucky, Arkansasand Missouri delegations nearly | all voted for the Wisconsin land bill, whilst among its | stropgest opponents are found the names of all the abolic ticnists in the House—Giddings, Gerrit Smith, &c., and | the anti-Nebraska whigs and demeorata, such as Havens, Israel Washburn, Grow, Murray, Perkins, &c. It ix true | Soresen poveen ss Seo t find in the | oy to everything w ey cannot find in the re- tations of "98. is 80! You will thus see that the idea that it is the anti Nebraska men who desire the ‘of the land bills, and that they intend to foree the South to vote for the lond bills or they will vote against the Nobraska, is re diculously false. The abolitionists, free soilers, and fa- | natics are all opposed to the land’ bills. The ‘Northern | men, committed to the Nebraska bill, nearly all aro from the West, and are also in favor of the land bills, that is, such as are open, fair, and involve no fraud. Ihave | taken the pains to-day to inquire carefully into the mat- | ter, and I cannot finda single member who makes the | support of any land bill the conditon of his support to | the Nebraska bill. Ifthere are any such let them be named, and their guilty conduct exposed.

WasnGton, March 18, es. Mr, Buchanan and Smith O’Brien—The French’ Minister ‘and the Black Warrior Affair. The Deficiency bill passed the House yesterday at a Into hour in the afternoon. The Western members, whose railroad grants had lately been defeated, combined with the members from Pennsylvania in throwing out the ap- propriation of $530,000 for the New York assay office. Several of the New York members themselves took ground against the appropriation, which they consider. ed urconstitutional. Considering that but $100,000 had been appropriated by the last Congress for the estab- lishment of the office, it is believed that Mr. Guthrie transcended his authority when he entered into a lease of $52,000 per annum, for ifteen years, of ahouse in Wall street. Other localities, itis argued, might have an- swered as well, and three houses in Pine street, near Wall etrect, might have been had for aJifth part of the money. The appropriation was voted down by a deci- sive vote, though Mr. Guthrie himself was present in | the House, and Mr. Cutting, of New York, one of the lending hards, advocating it. Mr. Buchanan, in an interview with Lord Clarendon, brought to his lordship’s attention and intimated to him the propriety of emancipating Smith O’Brien from his condempation and banishment to the Australian island. He had the gratification, on the day suceeeding, not only | to find the subject introduced into the British Parlia- ment, but also to hear Lord Palmerston announce to the House that the government had authorized his release from exile and bondage. So Smith O’Brien, whose only offending consisted in loving his country, not wiscly, | perhaps, but too well, is now emancipated and redeemed. is act of pure patriotism and benevolence is charac- teristic of the enlightened Pennsylvania statesman. The French Ambassador, on seeing the President's communication to Congress touching the affair of the Black Warrior and the Cuban authorities, at once ob- tained an interview with the Secretary of State, de- manding on explanation of what he termed an extraor- dinary procedure on the part of our government. He met with just such a reception as might have been anti- ciyaied from that sound thinking and far-seeing states- man. Gov. Marcy promptly declined to entertain any communication or explanation with the government of France, or any other authority, save the representative | of Spain, and demanded to be informed under what sha- | dow of right or usage the government of France could pretend to interrogate him on a subject in which France Was apparently uninterested. This visit of the French | Minister, confoined with the declaration of Lord Claren- | don, is siguilicant of approaching great events, which | time is graduaily revealing. és Wasttygrox, March 20, 1854. Thus for but little progress has been mace in Post office | reforms, though very serious improvements are eontem- | plated. One thing aimed at is the reduction of compen- | sation allowed to railroad companies for carrying the United States mail. If these railroad companies, it is ved, continue to receive the same compensation per mile which is now granted to them, the expenditures of the Post office ype over and above its revenue, will soon reach the enormous sum of eight millions of dollars. This a pretty snug items for one of the depart- ments, and will, if the revenne from custom | off thi hake a pretty good hole in the surplus of the treasury. A call has been made from the Committee on Post offices and ost roaus to inquire into the different compensations for railroxd transportation of the mails, and a message in reply is about to be kent to the Senate. The post office arrangements require a thorough over- hauling, if the drain on the treasury shall not increase , ima geometrical ratio. A Vill is about to be introduced into the House to re- peal t uty on sult and all allowances to fishing vessels and drawbacks upon the importation of pickled fish. ome three hundred thousand dollars are an- nually paid in the shape of bounties to New England fisherics, besides an occasional row with England about | fishing within a marine league from shore. The West- | ern members will nearly ina body support the bill.

Thave learned, from a source entitled to some considera- tion, that Mr. Marcy bas nearly comy tion’of a very successful treaty with the fisheries, and that, as soon aa it is rati intends to withdraw from the cabinet. My informant adds, that but for his ambition to have his administration honor- ably identified with the negotiation of at least one im- portant treaty, he would have retired long since. You can judge whether it is worth while to give this rumor further currency. Our Melbourne Correspondence. Muizounye, Nov. 29, 1853.

General cargoes are the safest speculations. The great losses which have been sustained by the home merchants by rushing into the market with large quantities of goods, especially flour, boots and shoes and fire arms, will no doubt in- duce much caution in their future operations. ‘The best course is for a merchant to send out articles that few think are wanted. To give you an instance, a pair of bellows costing in England ihree shillings, will sell here for fifteen shillings; tor as every one burns wood they are indisponsable, yet imports of them are quite rare. Flour has a general tendency to rise, but is the sub- ject of much speculation, and I think ‘moderate exports from America at the time this letter reaches you will be safe, notwithstanding we have the prospect of harvest; fine flour may be quoted at £32 and secon £30 per ton. ve fallen considerably, and makers have lost haye plenty of room for more building ma- (i Ithink that during the next winter—which Is at Inbor cheaper, they will fetch good rates. The prices current list sent herewith will give the va- rious prices. There has been some important legislation in the Legislative Couneil as to the gold fields and the diggers. The government are inventi trying to impose every conceivable tax on the diggers; they are about to exact a license fee of £1 per month, put an export duty on gold at the rate of 2s, per ounce, and charge a license fee of £100 per annum on all storekeepers, however small; of course all these taxes come out of the diggers, and the government avowedly confessed, in brining for- ward these measures, that as they could not extract by force a large license fee from the diggers, they would get it out of them in another shape, and thus put forward the grors falsehood that the diggers had no objection to a heavy tax, provided they were robbed indirectly. There will be tome rare doings in the diggings-yet.. 1 diggers are the majority of the population in this colony, only to be hoped the government will continue to act basely and tyrannically. The evidence taken before the gold ‘elas committee, showing how the diggers have n treated on the diggings by the large bodies of armed police who are stationed there, would not be believed in America or Fngland; their treatment throws Austrian and Italian despotism far into the shade. Ihave the rinted mass of evidence before me, and I observe a large number of men and women, who without justifia- ble cause or provocation, have been deliberately shot dead by the police. There are no courts of law for redress, no #7 no counsel, only a contemptible “Justice of the xe’? here and there, in the neighborhood of the dig- ginga, and he a ‘“‘squatter,” who believes nothing but what @ policeman swears to. Thousands of persons meet with grievous disappoint- ent in the diggings, and men of education and ability ithe use of the spade far more valuable than their uirements, except they nappen to be fortunate. ice, drunkenness, crime, and villany of all sorts pre- il bere to a fearful extent; but the test vice of all is intemperance, for it begets every o! crime. ‘The aspect of things generally, es ‘the happening of very great and decisive events before long.

Common Covncn.—There was a meeting of the Common Council of Jersey City, at the Lyceum, last evening, Al- aerman Lyon presiding. After the adoption of the mi- nutes of the previous mectings, various petitions were presented—among which was one from the licensed car- men, presented by Ald Low, asking fot an amendment to the ordinances, which will increase the rates of eart- age. Ald. Miller was in favor of an increase of rates, the present rates having been made when the means of liv- ing were chea| in at present. Ald. Low took the same view. The petition was referred to the Committee on Laws and Ordinances, with instructions to report such an amendment. The special committee on amendments reported that their expenses were $196 48 in tho dis- charge of their duties on that committes, which were ordered paid. Ald. Hill stated that the amendments were passed by the Legislature. After some further business the Board adjourned. Statistics of it. (From the Washington Union, March 21.] In compliance with a resolution adopted by the House of Representatives on the 14th of December, 1853, the Secretary of the Treasury transmitted to that body on the Oth of January, 1854, a report, from which we make up the following ‘interesting statistics on the number of solt manufactories, the amount of capital invested in them, and other valuable information. It ay ‘s from the report made by the Superintens|. ent of the Census, that the whole number of salt manu- factories in the United States whose annual product is $5C0 or upwards in value, is 889. They are amongst the States as follows :— $8,100; average number of hands, four; average yearly wages peid, $1,680; value of product per annum, $9,700. inssachusetts has nine; capital invested, $49,400; average hands, thirty-five; average wages, $9,180; value of product, $83,850.

Under the tariff law of 1842 salt paid a duty of twenty cents per bushel. To show the difference of the operation of that law and the act of 1846, the following statement is useful ;—Frem July 1 to Decomber 1, 1846, the quan- I forward you this letter and papers, per the Chusan | weather, which has much enlivened business, and as | There has, however, been a vast decrease in immigra- | tion, and it is feared by many merchants that the | begins in June—when houses are in greater request and | and for the sake of ultimate humanity and liberty, it is | $124,505 18 tributed | Maine has three establishments, capital invested, | 162; wages, | already prepared for three hut will be employed that can ed. examined Thave the river, and trouble in navigating it.
