CLEMENS. ‘Wasuinatox, March 26, 1854. ‘The Urion this morning publishes the letter of Mr. Jere. Clemens to the President which we alluded to yesterday. Tt refiers:ies the truth of the statement in Mr. Clemens’ Jetter'to Mr. Davis, that the President did say the Ne- Drasko bi “was a proposition in favor of freedom,”’ and Bhat “alttcogh we might absorb the whole of Mexico, not another slave State would come into the Union” if the ill passe! ;"but Mr. Clemens politely says General Pierce ‘may’ have in that connection expressed his surprise that the ‘‘true’’ men of the North should object to the Dill, and not merely ‘the men of the North.’ The word | “true,” in connection with the assertion that the bill | ‘would effectually exclude the spread of slavery, must be Gnterpreted the free soilers of the North. General James, of Rhode Island, was the Senator present when the in- erview took place which Colonel Clemens alluded to, and it was to convert him and make him friendly to the bill @hat the President used the “Northern” argument, the Gevelopement of which has created so much confusion. It is said that a prominent free soiljmember will take @ecasion to ask the Southern members if they under- stand the object of the bill is, as the President says, to prevent the spread of slavery, and if they answer in the ‘a@irmative a large accession ef free soil votes is antici- pated. HE BLACK WARRIOR AFFAIR—SECRETARY MARCY THREATENING TO RESIGN, ETO. Itis said Mr. Marey has declared if there is any at- fempt to back out from the demands made upon Spain on the part of the President he will at once resign. Rumor has it that Mr. Marcy is exceedingly anxious to ‘withdraw from the bankrupt concern, and will gladly @vail himacif of the first opportunity to leave the State Derartment. The deniands upon Spain are, first, an im- ‘tmediate apology for the affair of the Black Warrior; and, foondly, the investment of diplomatic power in the Cap- @ain-Generzi to treat directly with this government upon | all differences in connection with Cuba. It is not pro- able Spain will agree to these conditions; jand then look out fora beautiful backing down on the part of the pre- went “ Young Hickory’’ administration.

Aupany, March 25, 1854. ‘This morning the House of Assembly proceeded in its egular order of business, and spent an hour in disposing Of petitions, reyorts and resolutions. Before concluding the latter order, the Hon. Abram Lozier, from Dansville, Livingston county, a whig, of the House, of high stand. ng and great influence, rose and remarked that the tur- moil was so creat in the House iz was quite evident the Business coul not be proceeded with in such order as ne- essary, and he therefore moved a call of the House. Being a privileged motion, all other matters pending were Promptly arrested, and the Speaker put the question, and ‘here was large majority in favor of the call. The Bpeaker ordered the doors closed, and gave directions to he officers not to permit any member to come in.

Mr. Peters remarked, that as most of those who are sbsent are out of the city it would be hardly fair to pro- eed and place them in contempt of the House. Apologies of all sorts and varieties were made in behalf of the absentces by their friends who were so lucky as to Dein the House; about a dozen were, sick—some had gone to the city of New York with their wives—others had departed the evening previous on a visit to their hhomes—one or two had gone to attend a Quaker meetin excuses were made for several who had been compelle the evening previous to swallow a noxious pill (the Maine Jiquor bill)—some were outside the hall smoking segars, ‘and so on, The members absent having no interested friend inside were not remembered in all thove prayers for forgiveness, ‘Mr. Burneit, (always overflowing with compassion and mpathy,) moved that the call be suspended. But the | House wis incrorable, and would not covsent. On almost any other occasion the honorable gentleman from Esscx would be gratified in anything he desired. ‘Mr. Boyd stated that Mr. Morris crawled in through the window after the call was made. Someboily denied this Dy stating that Mr. Morris was at that time in the cloak room. Mr. Joy confirmed this, and it was perfectly sa- factory. Lr. Alten here renewed his motion to have the Fergeant-at-Arms bring in absent members, About time of day, (eleven o’clock,) an abandon can al- 18 be found at «8 Hall—an anti Maine law house in a stone’s throw. ‘The motion was carried. The Speaker now ordered the lobbies, galleries, and the floor of the House, to be cleared of all persons except members, officers, and reporters.

The officer brought Mr. Obadiah Stephens, a member from Centre Canesteo, Steuben county, before the bar, when it appeared that’ his sear was not on fire, and he was honorably discharged, as it seemed to be no contempt of the House, as the Principe emitted neither flame nor smoke. ~The Honorable William 8.

His reply was | that he had been absent just thirty minutes in visiting » | sick member. excused him, and ordered to his seat. e same excuse was offered by Mr. Eli Beers, of Tomp- kins, who was also directed to take his seat. Mr. Sterling here obtained a hearing, and denied that the temperance men had abandoned the business of le- lation, as had been stated by the gentleman from Liv- n, (Mr. Lozier). It is unfair to accuse them of leav- E — seats, and he took the occasion to set the matter ight. Mr. Joy—I wish to state that I am the temperance bill has been ed, we had other important matters on hand w! he desired to have dis- posed of before the adjournment . Mr. Lozier moved that the further call of the House be dispensed with. Mr. Peters hoped that if the call was suspended the contempt with which absentees are charged would not be withdrawn, Mr. Collins moved to adjourn. Declared out of order. The Chair decided that a resolution could be entertained, making a call of the House, for Monday morning. Mr. Sterling here asked for leave of absence for a min- ute anda half. Promptly granted. Mr. Peters inquired whether members who are absent without leave can draw their per diem ¥ ‘The Speaker was not then prepared to reply to the in- terrogatory. : A member made a motion that no member be permitted to leave the chamber, unless accompanied by an officer. Mr. Collins moved that the call be suspended. Lost. ‘The Honorable Edwin A. Ware, a member from New York, was brought before the bar, and interrogated by the Speaker. His reply was, that he had just arisen from a sick bed, when he was very politely requested by the officer to appear in the chamber. Excused. Mr. Littlejohn called for the question on his resolution suspending the call, and declaring the absentees in con- tempt. Mr. Willis wished to retire for afew moments. Objec- tions were made by Mr. Stephens. Mr. R. J. Baldwin wanted officers to be sent after the absentees, as they could easily be found on the railrpads. Mr. Edwards had important business in Troy, and de- sired leave of absence. Granted. Mr. Willis moved that the Sergeant-at-Arms furnish members with refreshments. The Speaker remarked that on a similar occasion re- freshments were furnished, but there Was much difficulty in ascertaining who was responsible. Mr. Maguire asked the privilege of retiring afew mo- ments. Not granted. After considerable discussion, not in strict parliamen- tary order, the matter was finally decided by suspending the call, with an understanding that it be resumed on Monday morning, when the excuses of the absentees will be heard. ‘Although nearly the entire sessiqn was spent upon the call, the loss of the time will result in a decided gain be- fore the close of the session. There were nearly fifty members absent, most of them without leave of the House, and it was due to the character of that body, and to the interest of the public business, that a call should be made, in order that members might be stimelated to more attention during tho remainder of the session. There have beon several calls of the Houge made during the last few years, most of which have resulted in mere farces, and during the time the doors were closed no or- der or regularity was ebserved; but on this occasion the Speaker preserved the strictest order, and the moment he saw any attempt at ridicule, insubordination, or fan- cleal dleplay, he promptly put it down. in reply to the hundreds of questions as to the regularity of the pro- ceedings, he was ready witheut hesitation, and expedi- tious without the least degree of petulance. FEES OF COUNSEL TO THE CORPORATION—THE LONG FIGHT ENDED. Aspany, March 26, 1854. In the early part of the session a petition was present- ed to the Senato, praying that all the fees and costs of the Counsel to the Corporation, in the opening of streets, avenues and parks, should be abolished, and was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, last week. There was a meeting before the committee to discuss the sub- ject, and Burtis Skidmore, Isaac Adriauce,* Senator ‘Whatney and Martin Zabriskie appeare for the petition. After a full hearing the committee informed them that they were unanimous in the opinjon that the fees of off cers should neither be increased or diminished during the (erm of office, and that it would be particularly un- just {o reduce the fees of en officer during his term from the “i the office, especially when {he form, as in this ene, was so limited; and that t 1 accordingly report unanimously to the tthe prayer of the p and that doubt- report would be confirm ie Senate. Dillon, the present counsel, then addressed the commitice and stated in substance that when he accept- ed the office he had no idea of the amount received by his predecesso?; that he had no desire at any time to re- ceive any such amount, or any compensation beyond a fair remuneration for his services and for the sacrifices he had necessarily made in accepting public offico—that as regards the public parks, which he considered public blessings, it was his ambition to consummate those mea- sures during his term; that the legal costs taxable to The sent; and, though Pie stil " him in these proceedings would be very Inrge, but, as | was well known to his immediate friends, he never in- tended to take them, but to present them to the commis- sioners as his official and personal contribution to the improvement and embellishment of the park; that he had no objection, therefore, tlat it should be ‘declared by law that no costs or fees should be received by him in these proceedings. He also stated, as regards the bill proposed by the petitioners, it was a bill of spoliation and injustice not called for by his fellow citizens, unjust to him and his suecessors,and would prove injurious to the city, and he had accordingly felt bound to oppose it; that if the petitioners had consulted him upon the subject of their petition he would immediately have consented to the introduction of any bill which would have been fair to them and just to himself; that the committee having de- termined to report against the petition, he was now free to offer to submit to the committee a bill he had drawn, or would be entirely satisfied with any bill they should Jraw, giving him such compensation as they should con- sider just. ‘The next morning the committee unanimously accepted the bill drawn by Mr. Dillon, which continues the costs and fees for this year, gives asalary of six thousand five hundred dollars for next year, and abolishes all fees and costs for the parks Yesierday Senator William Clark, the Chairman, reported the bill to the Senate, and state that, in the opinion of the committee, Mr. Dillon had acted in a magnanimous and liberal spirit, and that the bill met with the approval of the entire New York delega- tion. It was unanimously ordered to a third reading, and will doubtless become a law. Thus the question that has been the occasion of so much dispute for the last twenty- five years, will now be settled.

Excepting the active members of the third house. engaged in behalf of the | Gadsden treaty, and a few private bills before the Se- nate, the members of the indispensable lobby appear to have emigrated to parts unknown.

The Senate during this week have been exceedingly embarrasced with the Gadsden treaty. They have been hammering and tinkering at it from day to day, almost to the entire exclusion of other business, and the net result isnothing. They have, however, made some extraordi- nary discoveries, all of which were set forth in the Herat rome time ago. A call for the instructions and correspondence connect- ed with this treaty, it appears, has resulted in the spread- ing before the Senate a list of letters so extraordinarily rich and peculiar that it was deemed judicious to keep them from the public printer, for fear thats stray copy or two might get to the New Yors Hxrat, through some mysterious spiritual manifestations. This Vist of letters, it is said, proves what the Hrraup has chay ty that the Gadsden treaty is only a pro- cious bea ‘diplomacy for a Southern route for the Pacific railroad, and that Jefferson Davis, certain Texans and Mexicans, and the New Orleans and Opelousas Rail- road Company are at the bottom of the whole plot; and that Marcy bad no more to do with it than with the treaty of Nicholas P. Trist of 1848, which was made aiter the said Marcy had given orders to send Trist home as @ prisoner, if he would not leave Mexico on any other | terms. So this treaty of Gen. Gadsden was a bit of | South Carolina diplomacy outside the instructions of the Department. It was more than that. It was a great financial speculation, in which the Secretary of War and compiny, the Opelousas and Southern Pacific Raidrond people, Gen. Santa Anna, Hargous & Co., ani other financiers in Mexican stocks and enterprises, were the complex machinery which worked out the bargain. Mr. Mason, the Chairman on Foreign Relations, has been working like a beaver for this treaty. It is an ad- ministration measure, and he is ap administration man of very extraordinary fidelity; Wut still the treaty has been a drag, a dead weight upon the Senate, with no sat isfactory promise of its ratification in the shape in which the President recommended it. So it is anderstood that to-day asort of joint Senatorial and Cabinet conferenc> in to be held on the subject, in @ room of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in the capitol; and that the committee have had a very consi le margin of discretion allowed them by Gen.-Almonte, in behalf of Mexico, because of the urgent necessities of Santa Anna for a million or two of ready cash. It is expected, there- fore, that the treaty will be put into a shape to-day, with the consent of Gen. Almonte, which may possibly secure the two-thirds required for its ratification. + QUIEN SABE. ‘Wasmxorox, March 25, 1854. The Business Before Congress.

Not seeing any regular correspondence from this city in your paper, and thinking a brief epistle would be con- sidered with favor, I beg your indulgence. There is nothing in the-way of news at all. The papers are principally filled with extracts from the New York Herarp, in the news department. I have been here several months, and the two leading articles of the aris- tocratie paper have been ‘The Clergy Reserves” and “The Mayoralty,”’ until yesterday, when the whole fleet commenced a general attack upon the “Yankees,” calling them pirates, and designating the country across the St. Lawrence by the distinguished title of ‘the Piratieal Union.” The cause of this squib firing is on account of the seizure of the Black Warrior by the Spanish authorities. These loyal seribblers to her Pritannic Majesty assure her that she need have no fears for Cuba, but may go on with the Russian expedition, and Canada will protect Cuba from the designs of ‘the piratical Union.’ Funny papers they have! Where's the Pick ? Uncle Tom's Cabin is being slaughtered at the Theatre Royal. It is not very well patronized.

Building in Boston—‘ Blocks’ of Stores—Scarctty of Houses—-Changes in the Chvacter of the Strests—The wecret of his ability New Hampshire Election—Nominations of Mr. Eliot | if and Mr. Howland in the First Congressional District~ Great Worth and Good Works. If there shal} be anything left of old ‘Boston et the end of this year it will not be from ths want of efforts to tear it down and build it over again. There is hardly a horing to their | yuilding that dates ton or fifteen yeary back that is not marked for destruction a8 assuredly asthe timbers in an English park upon which the broad arrow has been cut. Previous seasons have seen a great deal here in the workof destruction and construetion; but that upom which we are | just entering will take the shine out of thersall. The chief editicesto be erected are warehouses and blocks of storem. No city surpasses Boston in this description of build ing now, and the numbers are to be largely increased, which indicates a great incrense of business. There are also dwelling houses to be constructed, though’ neither their number nor their kind is likely to go far toward re moving the moft grievous want under which Boston at resent suffers—one which grows in magnitude with each recurring year, and whieh operates greatly to the disad- vantage of the town. What is wanted is a clase of houses that oan be let at such prices as people of moderate means can pay. We do not lack elogant and costly dwellings, but there'is a great scarcity of that sort of houses which come under the mere designation of “ecmfortable.” The high prices of materials will proba- bly operate to prevent consitlerable building, much of which has been contemplated in: the soythern part of the city. The “blocks” thaf Ihave spoken of as being on the eve of construetion, will principally be located on Pearl, Federal, Atkinson and Summer streets, which lie not far apart, and which used’ to be among the best atreets in Boston for residences, Parl being almost fash- fonable, if not quite so ; Federal a most ‘respectable’? quarter ; and Atkinson very decent, excopt in one or two parts of it. These places have: altaost utterly changed | from their ancient character, though they have not yet reached to those great alterations that have converted State street from a collection of elegant aristocratical residences, with terraces and gardens, into a huge granite temple of Mammon. But the end is rapidly approach- ing. Summer street still contrives to maintain much of its exclusive character, clinging tenacious- ly to the past, as becomes # spot inhabited by 80 many conservatives ; but the sturdy progressive known as ‘business’? must soon change it into a mere collection of gigantic stores. Even now it is a thorough- fare for half the vehicles of the city, being aptly located for those who are engaged in what are some of our bu- siest quarters. It must be very unploasant for those who dwell on it to have to bear the everlasting rattle of wheels and. all manner of other noises that the world ‘will make in performing its works and duties. There are ‘ blocks’? to be erected in other parts of the city, but they will mostly be located in. long recognized business quarters. ‘The Boston Post maintains ite character for facctiou ness, Yesterday that paper said :—‘It is with no ordi- nary gratification that the democracy of the Union will receive the result of the election in the Granite State.”” I should think that: their gratification would be anything but “ordinary.” The Post probably means that it is ex- traordinary, like the result itself. Porhaps the Post means—at least, some people say it means—that the de- mocracy of the Union are glad to. see the Nebraska bill killed off, which is the only positive “ result’? of the New Hampshire election thus far. We must wait for the meeting of the Legislature to ascertain the exact condi- tion of parties in that body. It would be safe, however, to bet that Harry Hibbard will not be elected to the Uni- ted States Senate. He could not get a respectable vote for the nomination in » democratic caucu: The whigs of the First district have nominated Mr. Fliot, of New Bedford, as their candidate for Congre: to succeed Mr. Scudder. Mr. Eliot is a good lawyer, and enjoys a very high reputation as acitisen. As-the dis- trict ia strongly whig in its character, there can be no ubt of his election, unloas the ‘“ Know Nothings”? hould oppose him, as they are probably numerous in some half dozen towns in the district. If it be true that Mr, A. H. Howland has positively refused to be a candi- date, Mr. Eliot’s chances must be very good indeed. It as been spoken of a8 something that could not admit of » doubt, that if Mr. Howland should run he could not be cefeated, as he wouhi receive the votes of democrats, reesoilers, Know Nothings, and not » fow disaffected whigs. Dr. John Pieree is now spoken of as the probable democratic candidate. He is of Ldgartown, on Martha’s Vineyard, a vineyard where demoerats do not grow very fast. He would, unless he should receive a good deal of support outside of his party, have about as much chance cf an election as Moses Norris of a re-clection to the United Statex Serate by the recently chosen Now Hampshire Legislature after his vote in favor of Mr. Pouglas’Nebraska bill. Unaided,no democrat in Masaachu- setts can have the remotest chance of being chosen toa place in Congress for a long time to come. His friends must coalesce with somo other party to give him even a. chance for a triumph. Mr. Banks will probably be re- elected to the next Congress, as the great mnss of his constituents, whigs as wellas others, are satistied with hig course on the Nebraska bill. It’is commonly said that party candidates will not be run for Congress in this State next autumn, but that every man who shall oppose the Nebraska bill a Voutrance must be re-elected without opposition other than such as the hunker democrats could make, which would be about as near to nothin acypher with tie figure one after it—thus: 01. Li that some of the “‘nationals’’ in his distri’ ave been asa condition of supporting him at the coming clec- tion. They all opposed him at the last canvass; and, even if they should keep their promise, which may be doubted, ight gain a couple of hundred votes and lose twice as many thousands. The character of the bill—whether it be good or bad—has no- thing to do with the matter. It is loathed in this State by men of all parties, even many of the “nationals” themselves denouncing it, which le attributed by some to it having received the administration’s support. Were the question to be decided by ballot here to-day I do not believe that the bill would or could receive above 3,000 inst it. Mr. Howland was yesterday nomi- Congress by a masa convention at Sandwich. having retired from the office of State Audi- s have nominated for the place Mr. Joseph Mitchell, now member of the Staé Senate for the Nan: tucket and Dukes district, and a very competent person for the place, Mr. Wilder was called into the service of the Western Railroad not long ago, which corporation pays him a higher salary than the State can alford. Warren—tho last of five that have been perpetrated in their town or its immediate vicinity in six years—have held a meeting on the subject of improving the ntorals of the place, "A committee was appointed to seo to the sup- pression of gaming and rum selling. The disposition is How all but universal to attribute all crimes. to ram, which has taken the place of the devil in the indictments drawn up by public opinion. It is indeed hard to say which is the worse spirit of the two. ‘The Board of Directors of Hiarvard College held an ad- journed meeting in the Senate chamber on the afternoon ‘of the 28d, Governor Washburn presiding. The Presi- cent and fellows having disposed of the proposition to establish a third law professorship at the University by rescinding it, the proposition was withdrawn from before the Board. ‘The particulars of this aifair haye never yet been laid before the public. The proposition was to‘es- tablish a third profestorship, to which Mr. Loring, Judge of Probate for the county of Suffolk, was to be appointed. Mr. Loring is a reputable man anda reputable lawyer; was the person to be promoted to a new office, with a sala- ry of $2,500 per year, and permission to hold his present comfortable office, the duties of which do not particularly interfer The business was regarded as a job, not only by outsiders, but by not a few of the members of the Board of Over seers. The Faculty nominate officers for the Univer- ity, end the Board confirm or reject their nomi necs. Opposition the creation of the office became so strong, and it was so evident that the contemplated job would not succeed, even if the place shonld he created, that the Faculty concluded to rescind their vote. This is regarded as a triumph of the liberal party. One of the most eminent of the Overseers took ground, in course of the debates, that instead of creating & third professorship, courses of lectures should be pro- cured from legal gentlemen on specific subjects—aub- jects to which they have particularly devoted them- selver, and so students have the benelit of the best in- struction in the country. Whether this proposition will ultimately be adopted is not known. ‘The amount received for bringing freight over the Fitchburg Railroad, during the year 1808, was $210,818 54; and that for the conveyance of passengers, $192,200 53. ‘This wag equal, for freight, to $1 80 per ton & mile; and for passengers, $1 11 passenger, per mile.

The Mayor ind Sheriff have expressed their determination to otand by the law. If the papers for the slave’s arvest should arriveim time, most energetic measures will be taken for enfareing the law. | The negro Washington is an ugly and dangerous fellow, who lias alteady threatened the life of sovarelof his keepers, aad there seems to be a dread among who know him to have him.set at liberty. It is certain there will be a large crowd of persons as- sembled about the prison on Sunday morning, and from present appearances the auti-slavery smugglers. will blockade the gateway and take their black booty into aafe keeping assoon as he reaches the strect. If, however, papers for his arrest should artive, there is not the least doubt but there will be a riot of the most disgraceful. character.
