THE WEBRASKA-KANSAS QUESTION—FLARE-UP BE- TWEEN COL. CLEMENS AND THE ADMINISTRATI CURIOUS DEVELOPBMENTS—GREAT EXCITEMENT. Wasiingtox, March 25, 1854. Colonel Clemens’ letter, giving General Pierce's opinion of the Nebraska Dill, has created the most intense ex- citement here, especially among the Southern members. The demi-semi organ of the Cavinef—the Star—asserts this evening that Col. Clemens, upon seeing the com- ments of the press upon it, immediately a:ttrossed a note to the President, stating that he did not pretend to sive Gen. Piercé’s language—that it was probable he had mistaken him, and that what the President said was: “That he was surprised the men of the North who intend to give the South their rights under the constitution should hesitate to sup- port Judge Douglas’ bill when the South were will- ing to take it,” &. Now, upon the highest authority, we make the following statement:—As soon as he saw the Star this afternoon he addressed a letter to the edi- tor of the Union, telling him that he could not notice any publication made in such a paper as the Star, but that if the Union copied it or made a similar statement be would be compelled to come out over his own signa- ture, and denounce it as @ “lie.” He did not promptly address the President a note making the disclaimer, as stated by the Star. On the contrary, the President first addressed Col. Clemens a note, yesterday morning, re- questing him to call andsee him. Being engaged, he did * not go up; and as he was leaving his room Sidney } Webster came from the President to request him to “@o to the White House. He said he was engaged in court could not go. Mr. Webster, the President’s Private Secretary, then got him to promise he would go as soon as the court adjourned. He did call in the afternoon, und had an interview with the President.. The result was, after a long conversation, that the President said he _ had not stated his surprise that the South were willing to take the Nebraska bill. But he confessed that Clemens was correct in writing that ‘President Pierce gave it as his decided opinion that Douglas’ bill was a proposition in favor of freedom,” and added, that if it should pasg, al- though we might absorb the whole of Mexico, not another slave State would ever come into the Union. Col. <lemens, not appreciating any material difference, po- itely yielded the “ possibility” of the specific reference to the South being a deduction rather than a positive statement. The denial by the President that he ever ex pressed any surprise that the South should be willing to take the bill isa mere evasion. Even if he did not say so in 80 many words, such is an obvious deduction from the language he acknowledges to have used as regards the effect of the bill. Last evening, so anxious was the President about the matter, he again sent Sidney Webster to Col. Clemens, to request him to put in writing the admission, meagre and immensely minute as it wi Col. Clemens accordingly did so, and also stated that the | President had remarked that the patriotic men of all sec: tions ought to go for the bill. : ‘The Union will probably try and plaster the matter ‘cover in the morning; but it will be in vain. Public opin- jon here is fixed upon the matter, and it sustains Col. Clemens. If an investigation is demanded, let John Van Buren, Dean, and Cochrane, be called on the stand, and asked if the President has not repeatedly begged them to support the Nebraska bill, on the ground that it was a far more effectual exclusion of slavery than even the Wilmot pro- vviso. Cochrane was converted by the reasoning; Dean ig yet om the fence; whilst Prince John remains an in- corrigible heretic. What says the South? PALL GIVEN BY THE BRAZILIAN MINISTER—A GRAND AFFAIR. ‘The Brazilian Minister and his lady, Madame de Car- valho Moreira, gave a grand ball last night, in honor of the birthday of their royal mistress. Invitations were ieened to xix hundred guests. Nearly all the diplomatic corps were present, in full court costume, as also many officers of the United States Army and Navy, in uniform. All the world of fashion in Washingtonattended. It was emphatically the ball of the season, and every one was charmed with the kindness and attention of the Minister and his amiable and accomplished lady. leans. aaqneeset Penne Onhie Lg ney 24, 1854.

This was also denied the honorable Senator. The subject remained quiet until this morning, when Senator William Clark, on reporting a dill to reduce the expenses of opening, widening and extending public streets, lanes, and avenues, and laying out public parks and places, made these remarka:—He said, the Committee on the Judiciary beg leave to report upon the petition for the reduction of the fees of the Counsel to the Corporation of the city of New York. The committee are unanimous in reporting against the prayer of the petitioners, chiefly upon the ground that it was unjust to reduce the fees of an officer during his term from what they were when the office was accepted especially when the term, ag in this case, was 80 limited. e Counsel to the Corporation had, however, with the knowledge of this conclusion by the committee, presented a bill submitting to a reduction of his fees which would be satisfactory to him. This bill met the approval of the committee, and also of the entire New York delegation. The committee considered that the Counsel to the Corporation had acted in a magnanimous and liberal spirit, in thus voluntarily consenting toa duction of his fees. The bill was introduced, read b; title, and by unanimous consent ordered tos third and last reading. tute, and thus willend all difficulty in relation to Mr. Dillon’s fees during his term of office. Mr Brooks brought in a bill of considerable importance to owners of wharves, piers, &c. Committee on Commerce, of which the honorable Sena- tor is chairman.

Senator Seward visited the lobby this marning, took a survey of the members of the Senate. Co: cor li ble attention was paid him by the outsiders. In the House nothing was perfected of importance. An attempt was made to make the Harbor Encroachment bill from the Senate the special order for Monday afternoon, but it was defeated. When in consultation, a few days ince, the names of Mesers. Bronson and Vanderbilt were siruck out of the commission, and those of Totten and Barker inserted. An effort will be made to sustain them in the House, probably, but certainly inthe Senate. + Mr. D. Willis sent to the Chair a bill to incorporate the Atlantic and Pacife Land Company, _The corporators’ DAmes are , Francia B. Wallace. klishe F. Townsend, Samuel Fowler, Ira W. Gregory and others. They state their object to be to connect waters of certain rivers on the Atlantic with those on the Pacific side, in the republic of New Granada. In addition to which, they contemplete constructing a railroad, by ob- taining the privilege from that government. The capital is stated at one million, with the prisilege to increase to fifty millions if desirable.

Mr. Clinton introduced a bill to prohibit the use of camphene, or spirit gas, or any fluid of which turpentine and alcohol are component parts, on board steamboats na\ igating the waters of this State, or on board railroad cars, stages, or omnibusses. ‘The resolution for accepting the invitation of the Ten Governors to visit Blackwell’s Island, and other places in the city of New York, was called up, and again laid upon the table. As there ‘are only a few days of the session yet remaining, there is much doubt whether the rural gentlemen of the Legislature desire to see the New York elephant. They have only returned from the Utica, Lu- natic Asylum a very few days. A resolution, offered by Mr. Benedict at an early stage of the session, submitting to the Boople the temperance bill, ‘was called up by Mr. Case, of Oneida. This paper had Iain dormant for such a long period that yery few entlemen recollected of its ever having been Introduced. ‘ow that the Maine law had passed, it was thought pe- culiarly proper that the subject of submitting the ques- tion to the people should be considered.

ARREST OF THIEVES AnD ATremyTeD Escars.—Two men, named James Culley and John Dillon, were taken into custody on Friday night, on fpielon ‘of being thieves. They were observed on one of the Mont ferry boa! by private watchman Georg: Rowland, with « oll carpeting in their possession, which’ he suspected had been stolen, ‘Their answers to some qi Re pnt aes being satisfactory, he prevented them from on the New York side, and brought them back to Brooklyn, where he gave them in charge of officer Bennett, the First district police. The private watchman then took charge of Culley, with the view of con: ‘him to the station house, but before they had proceeded far the yrisoner sudde: ited a blow between his eyes, and, following it up another, felled him to the ground, when he ran off down aa, street as fast as could carry him. ‘The cry of “Stop thief !"” being rai he was caught by Mr. Robert J. Hicks, and in order to release himself from his grasp Calley struck him a heavy blow upon the’ mouth with a stone, apparently, which he had in his hand, and thus again got clear. Te nued on until he arrived at Monroe place, when he wes headed by officer Barr, of the First district police, who put a stop to his further progress and walked him to the station house, to which place the other prisoner had also been taken by officer Bennett. The carpeting, whieh consists of about eighty yards, it was subsequent: ly ascertained, had been stolen from the door of a store in Fulton strect, and was identified yesterday morning by the owner.

A Charge 6f Ovtaining Pi by False Pretences.— Yesterday afternoon Serjeant Elder of the Second district police court arrested a genteel looking man named Henry . David, on a warrant issued by Justice Stuart, wherein he stands charged with obtaining a house and lot valued at about $10,000 from Ruth Ann Ross, under alleged false representations, According to the evidence of complain. ant it seems that Mr. David, in December last, represented to Mra. Ross that he was the owner and proprietor of the Mercantile Hotel, situated at Nos. 2, 4, 6, and 8, Warren atreet, that he owned the sub lease, rents, fixtures, ba and furniture, at a yearly rent of ‘$9,000; that the hotel vras doing a good business, clearing some $25,000 per an- bum; and further, that he had paid $3,000, in advance of rent for the years 1855 and 1856. ‘The estimated price of the hotel was $26,000, which sum according to a special agreement was to be made in va- rious amounts, and paid as they became due. Mrs. Ross agreed to purchase the hotel, and amongst other pro- arse to be assigned over in payment, was a house and lot situated at No. 122 Madison avenue, also a lot of ground in Thirty-fifth street. This property, prior to the settlement, was obtained from the complainant under the pretence of enabling the accused to obtain some cash for his immediate use. This property was con- yeyed to Samuel 8. Hinman at the request of Mr. David. It ‘now appears that Mr. David was not the sole owner and proprietor of the said hotel as he represented. Samuel Ford makes an affidavit that he holds a claim or lien of $9,100 against the hotel property, and in addition holda the right to board with his family in the house, free of expense, until his claim is paid; and further, that the rent of the buildings is $13,075, and that no money has been paid by David in advance of rent, as repre- sented by him. "Under these circumstances, it is alleged that false representations were made by Mr. David through which he obtained possession of the aboye nami . ‘The accused was conveyed before the magistrate, and a hearing set down for next Monday a "he “Lady Dresed in Bi charged with Passi The in Black ‘Biite.-In the care of passing counterfett bills Counterfeit on the Cranston Bank, Rhode Island, now pending before Justice Stuart, many were the ‘inquiries made re- specting a lady in black, who had on various store keepers ten dollar counterfeit bills on the Cranston Bank, Rhode Island.

Mancn 25.—The Court resumed its sitting to-day at the usual hour, but no business was transacted other than that of receiving the Grand Jury, who entered tie court about 1134 o’clock, and made the following PRESENTMENT. The Grand Inquest would respectfully report that in the discharge of theirduties, they visited the humane and charitable institutions upon Randall’s, Ward’s, and Blackwell's Island; they made diligent inquiries into the manner of keeping the several records and accounts of fhene institutions, and wore highly pleaged with the srs tem and accuracy which appeartd to prevail there. ‘The plan of laying out the grounds upon Randall's Island, the chambers of the apartments in the buildings, and the whole internal economy as developed under the effi- cient. management of Colonel Stearns, as well as the physical and intellectual discipline which the children are receiving at the hands of competent instruetors, com- bined to excite our pride in the possession of so admirable a charity; and we would add our testimony to that of other bodies who have visited the institutions, ax to its invaluable worth as a preventive of crime. The Grand Jury, while noticing with pleasure the general good character of the hospital arrangements, would call attention to the condition of the buildings, which, while excellent in plan, yet seem to have been constructed so cheaply as already to require considerable outlays for their repair; and we would recommend that in fu- ture they be constructed with greater forecast as to their permanance and durability. The number of children vpon the island is about one thousand. The Grand Jury made a thorough visitation of Ward’s Island, examining its storehouses, hospitals, wards and schools, and found all in usual good order, under the able superintendence of Mr. Riddle. Twenty-two hundred emigrants are now receiving the benefits of this wise pro- | vision. for their home in need, of whom about 200 are children, who receive daily instruction in elementary branches in the schools. The buildings and grounds upon Blackwell’s Inland we found in excellent order; but as they have been the sub- ject of frequent visitation and report, this Grand Jury Would omit a more particular account of them. ‘They | would, however, invite attention to the unsafe character of the Penitentiary Hospital, which, either from the | sinking of its foundation, or from the ‘poverty of the ce: | | | ment, or from the unmasterly combination of the mate- rials in the wall, or perhaps from all these causes united, | already shows signs of dilapidation, and is hourly becom: ing unsafe asa tenement. The means heretofore em- | ployed to sustain the walls have been found insnficient, and even threaten to hasten its destruction. The planot | building buttresses to support the north and south walls isa doubtful and expensive experiment, and if it proved successful, there would still remain two other faults in the plan of the building, of equal importance with its other defects, and these are in utter disregard of ventila- | tion and internal convenience in its original plan. These facts induce the Grand Jury to make a formal present- ment of the Penitentiary Hospital, as an edifice ill adapted to its purposes, and altogether insecure for human life, and they recommend its removal to the foun- dation, and its reconstruction upon a more wisely devised lan, Pus" PHILETUS H. HOLT, Foreman of the Grand Jury. Indge Becbe then discharged the Grand Jury, after thanking them for the sizict attention paid by them to the public duties imposed upon them.

The court held that the satisfaction mentioned in the war- ranty was a reasonsble one; and if the machine did not came up to the expectations of the plaintiffs, it was his duty, within a reacou || ‘me, to notify the defendants; and If they did not re wery any ratent defect, then the pinintif should return it and claim his dai it that five months use was unreasonable, and no tendev of the machine even then to defendants.

The citizens of Benicia were to much exasperated that they would not. permit the steamer intended to remove the records to lie at the wharf without paying $500. A judgment for $84,000, bearing;(hiree per cent monthly interest, was rendered against J.C. Fremont in. the Dis- trict Court of San Francisco, on the 16th of February. ‘The account was for certain bills drawn by G. W.
