Oar Boston Correspondenec. Bosron, June 3, 1854. Anniversary Week—Rendition of Burns—Governor Washburn and the Senatorship—The Re-estab- lishment of Toll between Boston and Charles- town—Pure Water for Plymowth—Mr. Parker —Mr. Thomas—Mr. Loring—Rumors—Reports Respeeting the Redemption of Burns, §¢., §¢. Our anniversary week has not been so interesting a8 it probably would have been had it pleased fortune tokeep Mr. Burns or his seekers away from this part of the world, where, between them, they have ma- Maged to kick up a beautiful dust. Everybody’s mind was ranning on the fugitive, calonlating the prospect of bis getting awoy, and watching with feverish anxiety the alternation; of the evidence, ag it made for or against him. The evidence that was given to the effect that he was here on the Ist of March, by a colored man, and the less suspicious evidence corroborative of that, given by others who could have no possible motive for committing so grave a crime as perjury, was calculated to exci the-belief that Burns would not be given up, most people thought that the Commissioner ought to have discharged him on Wednesday afteracon; but that gentleman, who has behaved very dis- creetly throughout the whole of a most unpleasant | business, probably thought it due to his own reputa- tion, as well as to the rights of the various parties to the disputed case, to take some little time to consider all ite bearings, deferred a decision until yesterday. | Throughout Thursday, the opinion was all but uni- | versal, that the decision would be favorable to | Barns; but, by Friday morning, and before the | opening of the court, the contrary opinion beganto prevail, and was justified by the event. A great deal of excitement was manifested as soon as it was known that the Commissioner had sustained the claim. Of what taen took place you are already in | porcession. | Gov. Washburn has not manifested much inde- | pendence in the business of appointing a sucvessor | to Mr. Fyerett. The latter gentleman notified him | three weeks ago of his intention to resign on the | Grstof June. Instead of naming some gentleman to succed him at once, his Excellency kept dawd- ding about, asking the opinion of ex-Governors on the propriety of consulting the executive council on the Sppoinimens, some of whom advised him to consult that body, while others gave the contra advice. Finally, he concluded that he would call the council togtther, and it met on the first, and | commenced aiding his Excellency to dawdle along ® little further. On the first day of their meeting, the drowsy gentlemen did nothing; ditto the se- eond; and ditto the third, as far as I have been able to ascertain.

In plain language, that most | confounded of all intolerable nuisances, a toll house, has been placed on each of the two bridges that span | the waters Iying between the two old cities. In | former days the tolls were collected there, and were ite large, but they were looked upon with great | abhorrence by every man who had a soul ora pocket, and whose occasions took him from the one place to | the other.

At length, in March, 1836, (1 think it was,) Charles | river bridge was thrown open to the public, to the great joy of most travellers. One old gentleman, who was principled against paying toll, and who had found himself on the Charlestown side, but who had made a vow that he never would return to Bos- | ton until the toll was discontinued, and who would not permit his family to come over to him, died of joy on hearing the roar of cannon that were fired in honor of the passage of an act by the Logis- | of lying, scheming, defamation and slander has been buckled on.

They asked, so it | sxid, four thousand dollars for him, and desired to’ have the glory of comple’ his capture. These terms were not acceded to. In regard to the gene- ral question of Burns’ ae from slavery the statement put forth by Mr. Parker, in the ear) part of the week, is peremptorily denied; and it is said that the sale would have been effected on the night of May 27, had not Mr. Hallett interfered to prevent it. Report says that objection was made | to the funds that were offered, whereupon the cflicors mustered fourteen gold watches, their per- sonal property, and offered to deposit them as se- curity for the sum of $400; but the offer was not accepted. Throughout the whole affair Mr. Free- man and his assistant-marshals manifested the firmest determination to uphold the laws, united with the utmost liberality toward every movement that was made to effect Burns’ freedem in a strict- | ly legal manner.

The Board of Visiters appointed by the President to attend the semi-annual examination of the Cadets ofthe United States Military Academy, being or- ganized by the choice of Judge Whipple, of Michi- gan, as its President, and Sherrard Clemens, Esq., of Virginia, as Secretary, was duly received here with the usual honors, by the academic and military staff, on Thursday last, the first of June.

There is another sore festering among the unterrified. James ©. Van- | ho aud Horn R. Kneass were candidates for | office of U. 8. District Attorney.

Robert Tyler endeavored to secure the aaa ae for his protege Kneass, but Bob found himself no- where, for Vandyke, being backed by Campbell and Hirst, was the successful candidate. Hence, Hirst and Tyler, who have hitherto pulled in the same traces, have broken loose from each other, and have now rival political establishments. Tyler opposed Hirst's nomination, but here his bad “luck or mis- ne defeated him, for Hirst was nominated and Bob again found himself nowhere, Wm. D. Baker is the native nominee, he is a good | lawyer and a perfect gentleman, but the native wire | pul say that he must resign, so as to throw the whole native and whig influence for Conrad and Hazlehurst. But if, as I suspect, Baker be game, and courageously stands the fire, it may make Hirst's chances better—however, there is no telling what a day may bring forth.

I was much amused, as well as astonished, at reading the article in today’s Hematp, headed “The newest political movements of the day.” I was amused to think what a scattering and confu- sion there will be im the ranks of the rotten old par- ties—whig and democratic—and astonished that the order called Know Nothings had become so nume- rous in the city of New York. These singular socie- ties appear to be springing up throughout the coun- try. In this city they number, I am told, from three to four thousand, with five or six lodges, and are rapidly on the increase. In Troy, *Lansing- burg, Waterford, Utica, Syracuse, Schenecta- dy, Buflalo, &e., &¢., they have instituted lodges, and number several thousand.

It bP se that they could not surprise, oppress or drive Don Juan from his stronghold in the moun‘ain ‘is own ty, who, with their serene master, are viewing in prospective the fatal consequences, while the old tyrant is incapable of pity or remorse, but, like the goaded animal, rushing on to his ruin, and his diadem still held in reserve. ‘The deficit in the treasury, the numerous public wants, and the saray cares of entangled the whole Finance, have e machinery of the government, and ali ies seem to be Sroping their way in the dark. In fact, the; have but little ht to guide them, an still less wisdom in their councils to govern.

Asa proof, the Ministers of his Serene Highness seem determined to crush the commerce of this place in particular, by restrictions on imports, so numerous and so fatal to the well being of place, or the prosperity of the country, that it deprives | the merchant not only of his industry, but his capi- | tal, and there is, or seems ‘to be, no help for him; while the husbandman, in his limited agricul pursuits, is taxed when he brings them to market, to moar halt the amount of their value, and often, if he utters a complaint, the whole is taken away from him, baler is [aa hy iar 2 a Ns geant to t artel, driven a o ” under the seal « of God and Isberty y Under date of February 13, 1854, we will give you a small specimen of the manner in which the Mexi- can overnnient See artes Jeo, His Excellency the Minister of Forel Relations authorized Don Juan M.

We do not blame the officers of this port for Saying out their instructions, but we do re- proach the Mexican government for not dealing out its justice with an even hand. Are we not entitled to the same rights and immunities as those of Mata- moras and Mazatlan? Since the date alluded to, those houses are enjoying benefits at the above named places, to the ruin of merchants who hold | large stocks, introduced under the prospects of the | tariff of June 1st, 1853, and unless Pane mea- sures are taken by the English and American governments, the merchants must sails be prostrated in all commercial pursuits here, if not utterly ruined. It is exceedingly convenient for his Serene Highness to raise the wind, when out of money and out of credit, by giving two dis- tinct tariffs, and receiving a little cash in hand, ‘as a salve for the future; but all this is done to the gain of the » arse and his colleagues and to the ruin of the upright man of probity. Wil! the government of the United States calmly look on and submit to the-rain of some of her most worthy citizens abroad? She must redeem her pledge, and protect both their persons and interests abroad, and keep \the rapacious and dishonest at bay, who are now gloating over the ruin they have wrought. And for what purpose? Fora brief mo- | ment to raise the tyrant’s rod. We ask, is Presi- | dent Pierce and his cabinet to be aiders and abet- tors to this would-be Emperor, and listen to the smooth tongue of some of the lobby minions, influ- | enced by Senor Atoche? If so, we may soon look fora cockpit and a bull ring, or the feats of San Augustine and a mountebank. But we hope for better things, as we ere well aware that song made daily through the different ministers, and which, if pageed, must be attended to by the Mexican L ly ment, because the losses already sustained by the merchants of Tampico are very heavy; and, besides the loss of time and Septal employed, the outlay on goods, and State and munici; taxes, for their commercial are ruinous; while, at the same time, the supreme government of Mexico is virtually closing the port against the eatrance of vessels.
