He said that the petition was not open to the objections of locality, which had been~ urged against the memorial of the men of Boston. [t came from a town whose population was sbout 2,000, and was signed by over 300 voters, which he supposed comprised all its voters. Moreover, the town was Milton, which was the birthplace of the President. Referred. HE NEW LINE OF STEAMERS IN THE PACIFIC. ‘The bill to establish a line of steamers between Culifor- nia and Shanghae was taken up. Mr. Sewan, (whig) of N. Y., addressed the Senate as ~follows:—Mr. President—The summer solstice is passei— the thermometer indicates 90 degrees—time is becoming precious it: the Senate—I shall, theretore, coudense ths explanation “hich the Commitice on the Post Office aud Post Roads }. s instructed me to make. The bill directs the Postmast«*-General to contract, for five years, with the lowert bidder, on fair competition, with security for the carriage of wonthly mails between Sin Francisco, in California, and Shanghae, in China, by the way of ‘the Sandwich Islands and Japan, in steam vessels of at lenst 2,000 tons burden, constructed in the best manaer with xegard to speed and safety, at « cost of not more than $500,000 p= annum, and directs, also, that aay dei- cioney of th» accruing postage» to ‘aefray the expense of ‘the transaction, shall be paid by the Treasury of the United States. ' Will the Senate please to consider that wo have in operation a very perfect postal system, waich and penetrates ail the inhavited regions of our country, while it is connected by steam mail vessels with similar Ecropean tal systems beyond the Atlan- tic; and that, by this netiovsl agency, letters, news- papers, and commercial, scientific, and pulitical communications of all sorts, are larly ex- changed among the people of the United States and those of Western Europe. Will the Senate please to con- sider also, tbat new efficiency has been recently given to these postal systems by the establishment of electric tele- graph compenies. One hundred millions of ictters pass through our own post offices annually. Now will the Senxte ones more consider that since our postal system thus des- cribed was cetablished, we have foraver ceased to ve merely -an Atlantic peple, and that on the coutrary have added to the Union ono flourishing commercial State of vas: di- ¢ mensions, and also a territory which is soon to become State on the Pacific coast, and that now being engage in filling up the territory thus rounded off, we hive be- come acontinental American power, holiing the same attitude to Asia that we do to Europe, and sustaining the some relations to the countries on each of those conti- nents, What is now proposed is simply to extend our existing postal system westward on the Pacific Ocean, 80 as to pad wae intelligence with the nations dwelling on ita islands and coasts, as we already exchange intellieace with the nations that dweil on the isiancs and coasts of the Atlantic Ocean. The very statement of the case in ‘this form scems to me a compiete demonstration. Never- theless, I will briefly illuatrate—First, please to loot at the subject in its relations to the people of California and Oregon. ‘Those people morally and by virtue of the con- stitution have rights, in all respects, equnl with those . which are enjuyed by their fellow citizens resicing he Pacific coe: t 1a See hah 1065 iE @ ail of «gular and speedy public mails in their intereourse wit the * countries accessible over the sea which waches theic shores, then, wnleas for some reason tua! iaust de sasigve’, the former have the same ri to the aid of reguler ani speedy public mails in ourse with the countries gecessibl: to fea which washes their stores.

Hyp- Pily, however, itis easy to show that inthis case, as im most ot 'he local or sectional interests involved are’ inferior to the general interests of the Union. We have ababit of discussing questions of territorial enlargo- ment, oud of the extension of political and commercial influences and connections with as much caution and anxiety as if we enjoyed always free choloe to make, prevent, or control national movements in that direo- tion. I grant that we do wisely whem we refuse to commit ourselves bl ndly to the guidance of thove who interpret to us what they are pleased to call our “mani- feat ceatiny;” and, yet, sir. I con‘ess that sometimes, when I ‘ake an outside position and review tho thickly recurring changes through which we have pussed seems to me that our course has been shaj much by apy self-guiding wisdom of our o' law of progress and developement, im by nature herself Whan wo coi the realat- less impulses to ex mn which have acted on the people of the United States 4 century, together with the broad tempting field which, at the beginning of that period, stretched out from beneath their feet; and when we consider, in con- neotion with these circumstances, how the creole popu- Intion, who as-erted claims to posseas that which they. hud beecme pny eheally and intellectually unable to de- fend, and how France, consumed by anarchy, and yet engaged in a denvh straggle with despotism, was unable to bold Loviiana; while Spain, enervated by self-iadul- gence, sustained herself only by means of foreiza aid, and was therefore obliged to relinquish Florida and Mexico. Jt is dificult to conceive bow we could have much longer avoided the extension which bas given ua a broad region, whose surplus productions must have way through many channels, to Western as well as Kastera foreign market+—an extension that has not ouly brought the Antilles under our constant surveillance, but Las also brought us to compass the island and the cons: of Asin, and obliged us to open passages to them across the territories of friendly powers, while preparing to 1m the more direct and important one over our own broad, but as yet imperfectly explored .domain. To what end expansion tended from the begia- ning? Whither does it now tend, if not to com- merce and to influence on the islands and continents which lie between us and the sett: sun? Beyond alt doubt, this is its tendency, if we have ecficient re- sources and adequate vigor and energy to justify us io engeging in competition for that commercé. Great Bri. tain largely monopolizes it, and yet while her territory scarcely equals that of one of our largest States. Hor native resources are inferior to those of Virginia, or of Pennsylvania, or of Missouri, or of Texas, or of Califor- nia alone To [sang of no others, Pennsylvania exca- vates coul from her mines, at a rate of annual increase, which promisca one hundred and eighty millions of dot- lars for the production of the year 1870 When we refer to cur success in driving all competitors from the whaling fields, under eitber pole, and when we fied that our aggregate tonnage employed in commerce is already tev millions six hundred ‘thousaud tons, and ex- ceeds that of Great Britan wroper, is it not manifest that our evergy and vigor have been proved beyond dou t and dispute, The same tendency marks the poli- tical events which are occurring on the other side of the Pacific. Within ten years, China, before closed against ur, has opened to us five principal ports on various pa- raliels of latitude along her entire coast. Just now a revolution is occu there; doubtless the re: ult of her depa:tare from her ancient policy of exclusion which seems likely to give to us {ree access to every port of the empire. Even while we have bean engeged ere in our annual labors, the news comes to us of the opening of three ports with the addition of convenient atations for repairs and biden g HG Japan, and that a messenger is on his way, who brings to usa voluntary and unre- stricteo cession of the Hawaian Islands. The conclusion ‘which follows tho consideration of these events is, that the policy which the Atlantic nations have pursued so. long, although so unsteadily, is on the eve of its con- summation—that the thousand years are to be fraternal- ly te united. There is no power but ourselves likely to either co-operate or compete with Great Britain, in eifect- ing that consummation. It is the Sever work not of one cnly, but of both of the bra: of that geeat family, which is spreading everywhere freedom and. free religion, with the capaciouz and comprehensive ge of the British islands. If we abstain from such co-operation avd competition, the trade ana intercourse of the two hemispheres will pass around us, leaving to us only incidental benefits common to all other nations. If, on tho cortrary, we adopt the policy which has dictated this measure, and if we carry it out by extending our raiiroad, postal ant te- legrayh system, through our new Territories to the Paci- fie coast, then we shall not only open to all our citizens and States the inestimable benefits of a liberal, active and interval commerce, but we shall draw through our own, ports, and on our own Territories, hs if it were a fertilizing river, the exchanges of the world. ‘The measure before us is less costly than any one we have heretofore udopted for a siailar object It culls for a smaller outiay than that by which we acquired Loul- sians or California. If the whole expense were to fail on the treasury, it would consume bat two million five hua dred thousand doliars in five zenrki ead the ireiahte, seage money and ge would in the beginning yie Ls hundred iuesssee tattnes, and ultimately the mails would become a means of revenue. We might perhaps wisely consent to delay the enterprise if our commeres Were not ulready in the Pacific ocean. It is tuere, and because it is there, we have already found it necessary to send & naval squadron to secure its protection. Na- tional mails are everywhere equivulent to an armed force for the pur of protection. Show me a place in the United States where the mails arrive and depart regu- larly and frequently, and I will give you a place where a soldier on duty is never seen. Show me,on the other band, a secluded region, where the postmaster seldom or never penetrates, and I will show you the United States barracks and garrison. It is just so at rea. You had po mail intercourse with Japan; therefore you sent a squadron there to prevent the sailors from being driven on shore in distress—from being exhibited in cages through- outtbeempire. You have no postal connections with Af- rion, and therefore you maintain a squadron there to pro- tect your own seamen and prevent the slave trade. I con- clude with a practical illustration. Mere is a letter and here a newspaper, the one written and the other priated at Hong Kong, in China. They brought us the first in- telligence of Commodore Perry’s great treaty with Japan. ‘They bear the post mark of Flong Kong, and but for the want of @ native mail they would have reached us, not by conveyance across the Pacific and in our own mails across Tanama, but by taking a circuitous way through India and the Isthmus of Suez and over the Mediterra- nean Sea, and then after being stamped in the Post Office at London, they come to us over the Atlantic Ocean.

This lady, the sister of Louis Kossuth, died at her residence, No. 180 Ninth treet, yesterday, mournod bya large circle of friends. The disease was consumption, which has been growing upon her constitution since 1861. It is related by her friends that upon tho evcning of thearrest of the female members of Kossuta’s family, during the Hungarian revolution of 1851, by Austriaas, Madame Meswlenyi was one of the perty, and with the others was dragged through the streets of Pesth, when were sown the seeds of the diseaso which has carried her to thegrave. She died in the 34th year of hor ago, and fully reconciled to death. The deceased leaves two inter- eating children, both girls—one about ten and the other twelve years of ago. Madame Meovleuyi arrived in this country with her sisters, Madamo Ruttkai and Madame Zulansky, at the close of the winter of 1851, and being dependent upon their own exertions for support, at once entered into business. Mecdamnes Meszlenyi and Ruttkai opened a store ia this city tor the tale of lace and embroidery, and the other sister took a boarding house. Their arecst ia Aurtfis ‘was at the time that Kossuth was making his tour of this country, and the Austrian rulers displayed their humanity by subjecting the sisters to the greatest suffering. 2 way of revenging themselves for what they esteemed the brother's faults. It will be remombered that the mother of Kossuth, who was also arrosted by the same authoritios, died from the hardships of Aus- trian despotism, aud even while the agonies of death. were upon her Kossuth was denied permission to see her, except upon conditions whieh his honesty forbade him to accept. It is unnecessary now to repeat in detail the story of the sufferings of this entire fuinily—their being hunted like wiid beasts through their own country— their treatment in prison—their perils by land and sea, for a brother’s patrivtism—all this has now become a matter of history, and the sympathy of the civilized worls has been given to the oppresecd, and its scorn to their oppressors. The children of the deceased are left to the care of her sister, Madame Ruttkai, who has a husband living in A’ tria, But who is forbidden extending to his wifo any sap- Port. Relying wholly upon her own exertions, this lady has n compelled to support her own family, consisting of herself and three young children, and now to her care is left tho children of her deceased sister. Will not the hand of liberality be extended to thexe orphans by Ameri- can citizens They are thrown upon the world by no Sault of theirs, but because their illustrious uacle, in emulation of our own sires, raised his arm againet the bi hcg of his country. The funeral of the deceased will take place this afternoon, at 5o’etock, from her late residence, No. 180 Ninth street. Jersey City Inte! ‘ New Counrerrens on THE Baxk oF Baru, N. ¥.-~An- RESTS FOR Pass1nc Taam.—Yestorday a new and remarka- by well executed counterfeit was detected in Jersey City, which has resulted in the arrest of t-vo persons, charge with being engaged in passing the spurious money. Tho counterfeits consist of $1 bills on the Bank of Bath, Steuben county, N. ¥., whieh aro altered to $20’s, and are so well executed as to deceive bank cashiors, brekors, and other good judges of bank bills. Upow hearing that counterfeiters wero in the city, Deputy Sheriff Pollard went in search of them, and arrested a young man, who, ithas been ascertained, is named Weiting. Upon erron he found one of the spurious bills. Captain Fi ley, of the Jersoy City police, by good management dis- covered that another party was uundonbteply engaged in the business of passing the money, and he him to the Gerard House, in New York, where he had been staying for’ a few days, and by the aid” of a New York officer he ‘arrested him and took him to Jersey City. His namo is Charles Blair. Upon his ‘person were found six of the counterfeit 20's. Copt.

The word or figure 1 has boon extracted by chemical agencies, and twenty is printed instead ina most skilful manner. The bills are dated April 16, 1854. These young men are from the western pert of the State of New York—probably from Syracuse, as one of them {otegraphed in a frienaly style to a man doing business in that city that he was in trouble, and wished him to raise all the movey he could, and come to Now York by the first train of cars. The prisoners were taicon before Recorder Cutter, but they waived an examination, and be committed them in default uf ya‘! in the yum of $2,500 each, to tho Hudson county jail, to await triai.

Police Intelligence, An Alleged Larceny in a Police Court.—On Sunday night last a man was picked up by ono of tho Firat ward police in that ward. He being very drunk, was taken to the Firat ward station house, and on ed searched, nearly $300 was found upon lis person, whi was taken cherge of by the Hentonant in charge at tha atn- tion Longe. and the man consigned to the celle. fn tho morning the money was given to the oficer, and the prisoner taken to the Tombs. When the office: arrived at the Tombs with the prisoner in charge, he there mot with one of the city constables, and he and the aficor together, instead of taking the money to the property clerk, were seen counting it, and two piles of 820 ce Pieces were seen in their possession, ono containing tortr ieces, the other five pieces. Shortly afterwerds they fanced to the property clerk a parcel, saying it was the money of the prisoner, and that be waa take care of it, the man not being sufficiently sober. The man, the First ward officer, and the constable, then loft the court together, the prisoner having been ‘discharged by the magistrate. Inthe course of the day the man was met with again in a state of gross intoxication, aud taken to the Tombs. There are many surmises afoat as to how he became #0, and a hinting abont 1 sham receipt. The next morning the man was taken before the magis- tratefor being intoxicated, and was fined and diseharg- od He then went to the property clerk and asked for his money, when the he réceived wae handed to the man, who, on opening it, and finding only $80 raid he bad besides nine $20 gold ‘piccos. The proport clerk, Mr. Jamos Nesbit, bas made an affidavit, in which he distinctly states that the sum in question, $80, is all the mony he received from the officer and the consta- ble. Th® circumstances of the case have since heen presented before the Recorder, who has, for these two days past, been buay in investigating the circumstan- ces attending this most singu'ar affair. Some very cu rious operations are practised in our police courts, at times, by persons hanging about them, who would do much better to follow some legitimate business.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTLE GROUNDS. ‘the scene of the battle is about one milo and a halt trom the. villege of Freehold, the county town. Skir- misbing commenced upon the site of tne villave. and was continued westward for the distance above given, before the main battle commenced. All the partics bad the command of a hill, the advantage of locality being about equal. The British battery opened from one hoignt, and was anawered bs Washington from another, bottrar- mice ip. fail view of each other, and about a quacter of a mile. apart: ‘hese two heights sloped towards each other, and in the valley, about an equal distance from both forces, flowed the stream of water we have before alizded to, called the “-Spotawood branch.’’ The entire area of the battle ground is wLout A mile in extent, both locations now being turned into fine farms— the British side owned by Mr. T. Sutpben, and the other, scross-the brook, by Isaac Herbert. Upon the area of this battle field are various interestixg Revolutionary relics. Lhe fvhabitants here displxy all sorts of implo- Mrnts, coustantly being turpec over by the plough or spade, such us sword hilts, bullets, spurs, &. Only last week, we understand, a canvon ball was dug up from its bed, whore it hid buried itself, and where it has lata since it was cent on its errand of death by our Revola tionary sires. talk TENANT'S PARSONAGE. Upon the Britih ground still stands an old ‘dwel. ling howse, called “the Tonaat Parsonage,” which stood on tho field during the battle, and within a few yards of where was planted the English ar. tillery. It is riduled with bullet holes, and has been for a great mapy years unoccupied. It is wn old fashioned two story bouse, and has around it many historicat asso cfations. It takes its name from its original proprictor, the Rev. Wm. ‘tenant, who occupied it during the Revo- lution, and who here wrote the story of his trance, which obtained for him some celebrity. His successor, the Rev. Mr. Woodhull, here lived for forty yoars, and turned the house into a seminary for the study of theology and the classics. Since the death of Mr. Woodhull, the build- ing ot been tenanted, but carefully preserved by the owners of the farm upon which it stands. Thousands of visiters call to see it every year; and such is the anxiety of most of them to carry away some remembrance of if, that the effect is seen in the missing shingles, weather boards, door latches, &c. At the time of the battle, Mad Anthony Wayne, as he was called, was posted a fow rods south of this dwelling. After Leo's shameful retreat and reprimand, while Lafayette was mortified, Washington disappointed, and Morgan deeply chagrined at the courso things had taken, Mad Anthony was ordered to advance against the British, and encountered them hand to hand. Ho moved against ‘the regiment under the command of Col. Monkton. The combatants mot each ether by the side of this dwelling; and deadly was the onset. Wayne, anx- ious to retrieve the chances of the day, ordered his men, when they came up, to “ylok the officers; and the first volley from the Amerisan marksmen brought Col. Monkton, and nearly every ene in command, to the round. The spot is still’ pointed out to which Col. Htonkton was carried while in the agonies of death—an old barn, afew yards from the parsonage, whore in a few minutes after he was struck, he expired. This old building was the centre of attraction ou Thursday. Its venerableand genticmanly proprietor, Mr. Wm. f. Sut- phen, willingly reated over and over agnin, for the thousandth time, ita history, to the numborless visiters who thronged it; and each one who entered it instinc- tively, upon crossing its threshold, removed his hat, fecl- ing that he was treading within walls made sacred by the memories of the past. Not far distant stands, upon the American ground, and is still preserved, the old meeting house in which first, Tenant, and then Woodhull after him, officiated; next to the parsonage, it is most vencrated by the inhabi- tents for its historical reminiscences.
