(Hear, hear.) With res- pest to the further question put by the right hon. gentle. Wan—namely, as to the conversation which took egies, and to the communication made in 1844—it is certainly ‘true that, when the Emperor of Russia was in this coun- try in 1844, he held a conversation, I think, with the Duke of Wellington, with Sir Robert Peel, and with the Farl of Aberdeen, then of State for Foreign Af fairs. The substance of that conversation was embodied fm a memorandum, and the late Minister of Russia in this country, Baron Brunow, was cogifizant of and assent to the correctness of the memorandum of this conversa- | tion. With respect to that dosument, I am not able to give so positive an answer as I have given to the other questio t te the right hon. gen’ 5 Remorandum ‘hasnot heen lately under. tho review of members of Her Majesty’s government, and therefore I wish to reserve any answer I may have to make upon | that subject.

She will be reloaded, and probably sail on Friday or Saturday next, without passengers, for New York. This decision and disposition of the mat- ter by the Captain General either evinces an an unusually generous feeling, or acloary unequivocal Dack out. ‘While the passengers were yet on board, and Defore the cargo had been removed, the agent olfere to pay fines under protest, or give bonds for the reappear ‘ance of the vessel, if they Would permit her to proceed en her voyage.

Asitisan admitted fact that England and Spain are operating with secret treaties and understandings in rela- tion to the destiny of Cubs, it may not be amiss to the American people to know their exact relative position and forces. On land the Spanish force is variously estimated at from 24,000 to 36,000 men—the first number is nearost the mark—and they consist of just sueh mon as tho Americans encountered in Mexico, with the difference that these are forced into the service.

An agreement, endorsed by the lessor on the back of the lease, assigning all his right, title and interest in the leage to the lessee as security for the payment of certain promissory notes, is not a surrender of the lence, and a merger of the term, so as to work a dissolution of the relation of landlord and tenant. It is not an absolute but a conditional transfer, subject to-be defeated before the expiration of the term by the per- formance of the condition, and is a mortga; The attribute or quality which distinguishes @ mort- gage from snother and a different kind of security is the condition that, if the debt which it is intended to sceure bo paid at a day specitied, the conveyance is to be, void; or if not, that it becomes, at law, absolute, though sub: ject in equity to the right of redetuption. ‘An assignment of a leaschold interest carries with it the unexpired term, end necessarily includes all erections uyon the Iand for manufacturing purposes and other- wise, unless it is apparent that such was not the inten- tion of the parties, ‘The reason which justifies the removal, by a tenant, of fixtures which be has put upon the land for the pur- pore of carrying on his trade, does not apply to the same extent between mortgagor and mortgagee. The landlord, who has received an equivalent from the tenant in the shape of rent for the use of his land, can, with noshow of justice, insist upon erections which the tenant has put up at his own expense to carry on his trade. But the case of mortgagor is different, who carries the land by way of security for the repayment of money; and whatever is attached to the land is engaged with it whether it be for the purpose of trade and manufacture ornot, it goes with it as part of the mortgage security. When the building and fixtures are erected upon t 6 | land, and built for and adapted to machinery which was to be moved by water power flowing over the land, the | whole erection becomes a part of the freehold’ and Paeses as such to the mortgagee.

Who would not be Cutting, or else Breckenridge? Hit or mies, 'taint no consequence. Its a duel any way. “ That’s him. ” One of them common newspaper cor- respondents told me that he wanted Cutting to hit Breckenridge. “Why so?” asked I. ‘Why,” says he, “then I can get up a capital item for my next letter, and head it “ A Cutting Retort.” Funny fellows some of the Washington correspondents, particularly Grund. He isall fun. The Cabinet and also the P. P. G’s were perfectly delighted at the duel news. Anything delights them that will tend to direct public attention to something else besides themselves. The plunder fellows are down in the mouth at present, at least that portion of them who are short of funds. Land bills, railroad schemes, patent right projects, and so forth, are killed for the present ; but the leaders of the lobby ‘are not scared. “Never mind, Sam,” said Colonel — to me the other day, “ Congress are obliged by law to adjourn before the next session commences, and there are a great many bills that must hold on until the last moment. Then will come our chance. Mem- bers are weak, and good liquor will fetch them ; while there is life, there is hope, and at the wind up we will get a majority of the members so that they can’t see, and then all of our bills will go through both Houses like a streak of greased lightning.” Frank Pierce sent a note to my room one day this week, but I was out when it arrived; and asI did not get home till after ten o'clock that evening, I thought it would be too late to call at the White House that night, and so T postponed the job until about 11 A.M. the next day. WhenT reached the President’s mansion I was told that the Presiden was not up. “I showed his note to me of the day be- fore. “Oh!” said the servant; “you are all right— follow me.” I did so, and he took me toa room where I had never been before. He knocked, and I heard Frank’s voice after a little bit respond, “Who's there? What do you want?” “It’s Mr. Green, sir,” said the servant. “Come in, Sam; you are the very one I want to see.” Tentered. Frank was up, only partly dressed, and, in nothing but his drawers and shirt, was standing before the glass performing the operation of shaving. “ How ere you, Sam, this morning?” “So, so. How is the President ?” “T feekd—d bad, Sam.” “Well, you look so. My stars, old hoss, you must have been on a hell of a bust last night.” “Do I really look so hard this morning?” “Upon my soul, youdo. Ishould judge you had been out on a spree for a week at least.” “Oh no, Sam. I don’t go on sprees now. I used to do so sometimes when I was only a Senator, or down in Concord with some of our fellows; and out in Mexico I used to go it pgetty strong occasionally, but not now Sam, not since I have been President. Tdon’t go out of the house. It wouldn’t do you knowi” “Don’t tell me that Frank, Why you are so shaky now that you can’t shave; and if you don’t mind you'll cut yourself, Come, I'll bet you segars against a tod that you didn’t go to bed before three o’clock, and that you stimulated like a fish.” “Done, I'll bet you, and I can prove by Forne: and a whole lot of fellows that I was-in bed by halt past two, and that I didn’t drink such an infernal quantity either.” “Did you have a party up here?” ,‘No—about the same set that are usually here at night. No,I forgot, there were two cr three devilish good fellows, strangers—one of them I'd like to in- troduce to you, Sam. He is a perfect gentleman. His name is Charley Abel, of New York city.” “What is he—a fancy man?” “Oh no—he is a perlect gentleman. He is a lead- ing politician in New York, aud controls the Four- teenth ward.” “Is he as great a man as Captain Rynders?” a “Oh Lord! yes. He has more influence than Ryn- ers. “What were you all doing—playing cards?” “T didn’t play long. The fact ib ac Thave lost too much at “bluff,” and { am generally sure to be “euchered.” No, no Im careful now; for if I lose, and my opponents wont take the money, they are pretty d sure to ask me for an oilice, or some favor that I can’t refuse.” What did you do, look on?” “No; 1 played dominos with Charley Abel.” “ Ah, Frank, I see how it was. Under the excite- ment of the dominoes you must have lushed like sixty, and that accounts for your coppers being so hot this morning. Why, Frank, you have drank nearly that pitcher full of water since I came here.” “So Lhave; but Ihave got enough left to wash. But I must fire up. Just ring that bell, will you?” ‘The reply to the bell was a colored fluid; brought b: @ servant, who seemed to know what was required. After he feft, the President drank off tie contents of the tumbler. “That is decidedly Bet ay Sam, but I really wish you had come over last night. I want you to meet Charley Abel. He is one of the right sort. I expected here this morning to breakfast.” “What does he do in New York ?” ‘Oh, he has a magnificent residence in Broadway. Lives on his means. His house is the favorite resort of all the leading politicians of the democratic party, and the most respectable people in New York. The democratic public sentiment is made at Charley Abel's. You must go and see him when you pass that way on your return to New Hampshire.” “T will with great pleasure, Frank. I would like to know him.” “T will sneaks aword for you, Sam, but I know that to any friend of mine he will show all the ore , of New York, and Charley is seckeac? » OD ley is pretty well poste: “What is all this muss about between you and Jer- 2 fia ten ? He seems to have frightened you and ll your honest surrounders by that letter of his to Huntsville.” “He misrepresented me in a very unhandsome manner !”? *. “Tl bet drinks that you dare not tell Gen. Clem- ens so! He reads you like a book, and you dare not open your mouth and say nay, even if you are Presi- dent. You know you are completely in his power.” “T don’t understand you Sam ?” “Yes you do. As for his statement in regard to his views, you know and so do your friends, that sometimes when you are alittle bit excited you talk atrandom and rather wild. You forget yourself. But go far as regards saying one thing to a Southern member and the very opposite to a Northern one in regard to the Nebraska bill, every little boy about the place is conscious that that charge is true, and I am verry sorry that it isso. It is undignified for a President. Such petty manouvres might carry a village election or even a town like Concord, but when epplied to the representatives of a confedera- tion of States, amounting to millions, such tricks are sure to fail, and load with disgrace the high olli- nar pn it yen ees a “You say lam of Jer lemens.

He could unsap your mili repu- tation by telling what he know. of your conduct in Mexico—that you wrote your own despatches, and that General Scott good naturedly igned them—that 7 were a eae arrant coward—that your fainting in battle was God’s own trath—that you were not wounded—and that these matters Col. Clemens had held back. A rupture with hima would bring them all out.” ¢ “ Let him try it. Who will believe him now? The Union and the Post would come out and say that Clements said such things now because he was a disappointed man. It would kill Clemens. I tell ‘ou what it is, Sam, I believe Col.

Well, how, oli Jackson took a great shine to the New York merchant. Let me see—what did Forney say his name was? Oh, I remember now; it was | Post—Mr. Post. Well, when Old Hickory became President, he writes to his old friend Post, and asked him to come on to Washington to spend a few days, and to stop at his house. Old Mr. Post didn't want anything—he was rich. Well, the old merchant, Post, concluded that he would accept the invite, and he did, and came on. Mr. Post must tell the rest of the story, Sam. He said that when he had got to this house that we are now in, he and Old Hickory talked over old matters, and Mr. Post was made per- fectly at home. ‘I had not been,’ says Post, ‘ with the General over three or four days, before there was acommittee of Methodist clergymen came up from Alexandria to see the President. There had been a large convention held at Alexandria, and over two hundred clergymen were assembled. Just as they were about adjourning to go home, a member pro- posed that they should all go up in a body and call upon the President of the United States. That was nee to; but, in order that they might not astonish old. Jackson, they sent a committee of three clergy- men up to the White Houve to see if old Jackson would receive them. He said he should be pertectly delighted at the visit, and so the next day the whole two hundred black coats came up. General Jackson received them in the large east room,and when they entered he was standing near the window at the west end of the east room. They were all intro- duced by name, and the President shook hands with each one, and inquired kindly how he felt. When this was finished, the principal clergyman asked General Jackson if he would have any objection to joining with them in prayer. “Certainly not; none in the least. I shall feel deeply grateful to join my brethren of the Methodist Church in so proper an act.’ “ Accordingly, the whole party knelt down, and the spokesman made a most powerful effort. At the end of about every ten words. General Jackson, | with the tears of piety streaming down his cheeks, | made the room ring with his deep, fervent ‘* Amen!” wep ip it Horway thes anecdote of how — God grant it!”—* May it come soon!”—* Hallelu- jah!” and other thrilling and exciting Methodist ex- | clamations of sympathy; and these were only inter- | pathy: knees, he wiped_his eyes with his pocket handker- chief, and with his ‘ God bless and protect you all, | brethren,” the two hundred left, deeply affected by | the solemn time they had just had with the virtuous | old President. They had to pass the whole length of the main hall from the cast room to reach the west entrance. Meanwhile, as they were slowly de- | filing out of the room, General Jackson looked out of the window. He had hada carriage presented to | him by the merchants of New York, and he was very fond of it. He saw ut this moment, this car- riage approaching the White House at a rapid rate; and just as it arrived in front of the window, the forewhcel struck one of the stone posts which pro- | tect the sidewalk. Ina moment the General broke | out into a perfect fury, and sticking his head out of | the window, he sung out to the careless coachman— “You d—d infernal son of a b—h, you G—d d—d careless whelp ; 1 wish to J—s you had broke your hell-fired neck. What in the hell and damna- tion——” Just then the President discovered the upturned faces of his clerical brethren, the head of the procession having just come around through the west terrace, and the larger portion had heard the Presidential oaths. As soon as General Jackson saw them, he drew his héad inside of the window, and addressed Mr. Post : ‘Damn them fel- lows, 1 thought they had gone.” Soon r, the coachman entered, and the President gave hima most hearty cursing, and then added in a perfectly Christian tone of voice, “Now, don’t be guilty of such gross carelessness again. u do, I shall be very severe.” ‘What do you of that, Sam?” exclaimed General Pierce. hink! Why, Frank, how pat those oaths come to your tongue, eh? just as though it was natural. What dol think ? Why, I amshocked at Mr. Forney’s blasphemy in telling such a story. And what for? What does it prove? In what political way can it be an example for you to follow? Do you mean to geta Methodist convention to come here? Do you mean to have your coachman run against a stone, so that you can curse him just as the clergy are leaving? If you don't, what does Mr. Forney mean to have you deduct as @ moral from his story?
