Quitman’s Return—Cadwallader—The Fleet—Tha En- campmenis— the Move—Concha’s Dictatorship—Tvo Late, if Trua. General Quitman returned to this city some three days ago, since which time he has received innumerable visits ‘and greetings from warm and expectant friends. Though bie hair and whiskers are well frosted over, yet there are may hard campaigns within him, and he seems eager for the fray. Much commotion has attended his return, ‘andi find that the filibusters who were wont to fre- quent our places ef public resort, and sport the ancient army cap, have either shut themselves up, doffed the ensign, or hied themselves to the respective camps to which they are attached. In addition to the rendezvous near this city, convenient to our Mexican Gulf Railroad, ‘there are other encampments more crowded, especially ene near Mobile. General Cadwallader, it is said, is to ‘be second in command, This comes to me, however, in a questionable shape. I give it for what it is worth, as ‘General ©, isa soldier, a man of nerve, talent and energy, ‘md well qualified to head an expedition more wild and Dasardous than this, should emergency arise. ‘The Massachusetts has not yet entered the Mobile and Galveston trade.

PHILADELPHIA, March 28, 1855. ‘Me New Cabinet Rumors—Mr. Dallas Objects to Joining the Administration—Politics in Philadelphia—Move- ‘ments for Buchanan in Pennsylvania, dc. Your Philadelphia correspondent the other day quite warprised the quiet and peaceful inhabitants of this our good Quaker City, by publishing a list of the members of the new Cabinet about to be formed in Washington. Jean assure you, from very excellent authority, that yeur correspondent is entirely ont of his reckoning when he supposes, for a single moment, that the Hon. George M. Dalias has the slightest ides of accepting office ‘under the administration of Franklin Pierce. No man who respects himself will now take a place im Pierce’s cabinet, and no man who has a nics apprecia- tion of his reputation and honor will remain in it. ‘hose already damned, need, of course, have no scruples as to receiving a little longer the emoluments of office. A year or two more spent in the departments in W: iegton is as nothing compared to the everlasting degra- @ation that awaits their exit. But to suppose that such men as Dallas, Howell Cobb, f Georgia, and other men of unsullied and substantial veputaticn, should play second parts on that stage Jere, Join W. Forney, ‘Sid.

Marcy. If Mai moved round Pierce, it was simply to circumvent him. ‘The gang of small politicians who have heretofore torule our city and county by the dispensa- tien of tavern licenses and the good offices of pries are still holding with grim tenacity to the federal offices. “Them hundred and ninety,”’ as the chattering monkey f the Custom Houve is jocosely called, Westcott, the ap- Praiser, the Yankee navy agent, (one of ‘us soldiers,’’) ‘and the man who shoveis dung for the Pennsylvanian, ‘are stili imagining they represent party in Pennayl: vania, and that they have a political calling. They caa- net form an idea of the detestation in which they are held by the public, not because that detestation is not ly manifested—God knows thename of Chas Hrowa Tas grown into a byword—but because they are too sta- pid to realize the ss of public opinion in its effects shemastves.” They still hope for a resurrectioa of democratic party, with such pigeon as they are at its head. They believe being in office is being in power. * Forney is in town, trying to organise the Buchanan men. His friends here believe that the Ostend confer- ences,and the official report of its conclusions, will unite the filibusters in “Old Buck's” favor: but what will they fay when they shall Jearn that the “Old Buck” (what =e mer!) has written a private letter to Marcy, thank- him for helping him ont of the scrape into which | gues, Mason and Soule, had led him.

Harrvorp, Cown., March 28, 1855, Politics in Conn.—Sam is around this Orehard, shaking Off the Apples of Political On the 24 day of April the annaa) for all State and Legislative officers, also for members of Con- gress, will take place in this State. The din and dust kicked up by the Know,Nothings, have completely smothered the old parties, from present appearances. ‘The old hunker democrats and old hunker whigs are making common war upon this new order, which is composed generally of the middling class and age in s9- ciety, who have become sick and disgusted with the ne- potitm and dictation from cliques who have, iduring the present generation, ruled in all nominations and ap- pointments. ‘The Democratic ticket is:— Samuel Ing) of Essex, for Governor. John T. Wait, of Norwish, for Lieutenant-Governor. ‘Taleott Crosby, of Thompson, for Treasurer. Roger Averill, of Danbury, for Secretary. ‘Thomas Cowles, of Fi ton, for Comptroller. The Whig ticket is -— Benry Dutton, of New Haven, for Governor, Alexander H, Holly, of Salisbury, for Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, Oliver H, Perry, of Fairfield, for Secretary. Daniel W. Camp, of Middletown, for Treasurer. John Dunham, of Norwich, as Comptroller. ‘Te Kagw-Nothing ticket is — Wm. T. Minor, of Stamford, for Governor. |. D. Sperry, of New Haven, for Secretary. Arthur'B. Galet, of Middletown, for Treaturer. ‘Alexander Merrill, of New London, for Comptroller. The Free Democratic ticket is : Henry Dutton, of New Haven, for Governor. Wm. Field, of Pomfret, for Lieutenant-Governor. Amos Townsend, jr., of Hew Haven, for Treasurer. Daniel Lyman, of Middlefield, for Secretary. Rollin L. Beecher, of Winchester, as Comptroller. The temperance ticket, according to the recommenda- tion of the State Temperance Convention, is either the regular whig or K. N. ticket, at the option of the voters, as the gubernatorial candidates for each of these parties are out and out advocates for the stringent Connectieut Prohibitory law. The fiercest contest will come off in the first and second Congreesional districts. In ‘the former, the democrats have re-nominated Gen. James T. Pratt, and the K. N.’s and whigs have nominated Ezra Clark, Jun. Gen. Pratt is known s0 xtensively, no description of his qualifica- tions is necessary. But Mr. Clark, out of the city of Hartford has not a public reputation. He is an merchant of this city, under forty years of age, of the best mercantile reputation. For several years he has served in our city Council, discharging his duties on sun- dry committees, and as a member, to the satisfaction of is constituents. Subsequently ‘he was elected ald man, also a Judge of the city court, until he re-nomination. At present, and forthe past year, has been discharging the duties of President of tl Board of Water Commissioners, in erecti the new waterworks for this city: and during the tryi 3g pesunt ay. times of the past twelve months he has effected the je of our city bonds at premiums ranging from one to seven per cent, notwithstanding the obstacles which have been malignantly thrown in his way by Hartford brokers. In fact, the bitter specs ‘to the introduc- tion of pure water into the city, have to acknowledge that few, if avy other persons, could have so sucsess- fully managed for the city’s interests, His nomination has made an awful fluttering snneng: the old hunker whige, who act and believe that all the offices were created for Prospect street residents. They have grown seepersis for if the masses refuse to aceede to the dictation longer, then they are shorn of all thelr power, except what they possess in their money bags and as Shylocks. When men who have been fed and tattened at the public crib until they have grown sleek and fat, also impudent in their demands for themselves and rela- tives—who defeated the regular whig nominee for the United States senatorship two years ago, because a cer- tain member of oneof “the ancient and honorable fami- lies of Connecticut”’ could not get the nomination, (nor even a corporal’s guard to vote for him in caucus,) and thus caused the election of Senator Toucey, the subse- quent year—when such men hypoerirically assume to rotest against the nomination of Mr. C., whigs, f there the ghost of is any virtue in spirit rappings Henry Clay will arise and rap them tato politics! perdl- tion. ‘The nomination of Jobn Woodruff, (second,) another friend of the working man, as member of Congress from the New Haven district, by the K. N,’s and whigs, haa raised a greater din in the whig camp thereabouts than the nomination of Mr. C. in this district. But these Know Nothings, by broaking up the dictation of the old bunkers, are doing a great and glorious work for free- men, I both yartics, these animals are completely crest-fallen, and are suffering a terrible attack of politi- cal fever and ague, and who, on the 24 of April, will be shaken to their political doom.

OUR QUEBEC CORRESPONDENCE, Quenrc, March 23, 1855. ‘The Progress of the Militia Bill—Withdrawal of Pro- tection from (he Iome Government—Interesting Debate on Annexation and American Filibustering—The War in the Crimea—Seat of Government, The Militia bill has pavsed @ second reading, the minis- try having a majority of fifty against the motion of Mr. Hoilin, member for the city of Montreal, for a six months’ postponement. The question was debated for two days, and the discussion embraced the whole scope of Eogland’s colonial policy. The bill was very generally regarded by the opposition as the first step towards in- dependent sovereignty, or annexation to the United States. It was very positively affirmed by the opposition» and quite as positively denied by the ministry, that cer tain correspondence had taken place between the British and Canadian governments, evincing on the part of the former a disposition to withdraw all protection and con- trol from the province. The ministry laid upon the table @ minute relative to a conversation between Mr. Hincks aud the Duke of Newcastle, having reference to the withdrawal of the troops, and the ceding to this country of the ordnance lands of the crown. They stout- ly contended that no further correspondence had taken place, that everything had been brought down which they couid bring down, and that the House must be sa- tisfied. It will, however, be remembered that oa the 23d of lebruary, during’ discussion in the imperial Parliament relative to recalling the troops from the colonies, Sir George Grey distinctly stated that 9 corres. pondence was going on with the Canadian government on the subject. Either Grey deceived the aap Pr liament or Sir Allan MeNab is deceiving the Legialati Assembly; and, from all the circumstances, I am strongly disposed to believe the latter to be the case. Thata secret correspondence has been and is going on, there can exist no doubt, and the apprehensions of the people relative to the secret import of that correspondence will not be allayed by the refusal of the government to pub- iah it. Itis strongly suspected that the authorities in Downing street desire to force upon t nty its defence, even in time of war, and that the consideration for aseuming such a position is to be the cession of the very valuavie ordnance lands to the province. That the people will be disposed to assume any such burden is very pro- blematical. Were they imdependent—had they the power to declare war or to maintain peace—did they oc- cupy a place among nations, and enjoy the privileges and rights cf independent sovercignty—then with groat propriety might they be called upon, and with perfect willingness would they consent, to maintain an army for the suppression of cfvil discord within and the re. pelling of invasion from without. But as it is, they feel it not to be desirable to organize and sustain @ military department, evidently for war purposes, when the ex- istence of an efficient constabulary force would be ample for ali civil purposes. ‘The United States, and the sup) filibustero dis- posision of your people, appear to be the great bugbear with the English and Canadian governments. During the disenssion the attack upon Cuba, the affair at Navy Islend, and the invasion of Mexico, were frequently re- ferred to, as affording no uncertain indication of Ameri- can policy. The prospect of an attack from the other side of the line is—if we are to take their statements as ospel—ever before th is of our extra loyal popu- tion; and the terrible pictures drawn of American 6: honesty and filibustero invasion had some effect ia i fiuencing the vote. The peaceable intentions of the American people seem geriously to be doubted by our leas enlightened people, and the Prejudice is abundantly played upon to secure success to the government war mearure. One thing was remarkable in the debate—the mem- bers oppored to the ministry and opposed to the mea- au ade no hesitation in avowing their annexation proclivities. Even persons who have hitherto been set down as extreme loyalists, uttered sentiments of rather doubtfal loyalty. in the event of war between England and the United States, Canadians, if we may jadge from opinions in the House, would hesitate before involving themselves in opposition to their immediate neighbors, So strongly was this prenght out by some of the oppo sition, and so forcibly did it fall upon the House, thet the ministry were compelled to promise that the clause requiring the militia in cases of emergency to go on foreign service should be drop) The ministry pro mised certain other modifications, and by thie ineang secured the very large vote they did—a vote which took even themselves by surprise, Mr. Hinoks last evening attempted to induce the House to vote a bounty of one hundred acres of land to any person who would be willing to serve in the Crimea, ‘The motion, however, met with but little aympathy, and in order to avoid # defeat was withdrawn. Our people bad no objection to vote £20,000 to the Patriotis funa— threughout their municipalities they have shown an equal peereee tae it was too mach to ask them to vote away thelr lands as abounty to those who should leave the country. A position to encourage settie- ment by granting one hundred acres of land to ever; actual setler from abroad, would have met with muc! more general hay gy The question of the seat of government is at present on the tepis, and, of course, elicita an immense amount Of chiselling.

We received our files of Kingston (Jamaica) papers, dated to the 8th of March, yesterday morning, ‘The news is not of much importance, Great excitement prevailed at Kingston, owing to the fact of the congregation of the East Queen street Baptist chapel having been evicted from the building by a decree of the Court of Chancery, The members and friends of the communion collected in great numbers, whilst the law officers were sustained by military, police and go- verpment proclamations.

The condition of the planters is still represented as bad, although things do not look so gloomy as hereto- fore. ‘The following motion was made in the General 5; of the Presbyterian church:—‘‘ That the Revereud War rand Carlile, of Brownsville, in the parish of Hanover, occupy the Moderator’s chair for the next twelve months.’’ This motion was seconded by the Rev.

The first was killed accidentally, and it is not exact! f known by whom; and the latter was slain intentionally by Wm. C. Harrison. It appears that an enmity had tor # long time existed between Duffy and Harrison, growing out of the fact that on the trial of Day, some four years ago, for the murder of Dr. Wey- mouth, in Theatre alley, Harrison was the principal witness against him. Day before yesterday they met and bad a slight difficulty, but nothing serious ocourred at that time. Yesterday, about three o'clock, however, the two met on Gravier street, when Duffy called Har- rison a “d—d scoundrel.) ison replied that he, Duty, wana “murdering d—d scoundrel” whereupon Dufiy raised his fist and was about to strike or draw a pistol to shoot Harrison, and was about to carry bis in- tention into execution, but Harrison was too quick for him, and drew his six-shooter, cocked and presented it at Duffy, who turned and ran into the billiard room, pursued by Harrison, who commenced firing at him, and continued until he’ had discharged six sbots, one of which took sflect in Duffy’s bresst, penetrati the heart. He ran out into Gravier street and fell de: upon the banquette, Another abot, during the affray, took efiect upon the person of Dr. Parsons, who was seated in a chair at one side of the billiard room; the ball entered his right side, just below the nipple, and taking a downward direction, passed through the lunj and body, and lodged under the skin, near ths hip. lived long enough torun out on St. Charles street, where he fell and shortly atter expired. The above is the substance of the thousand rumors that were floatir a yerter: after th a Barrison at once surrendered higAllt 40 the poilce, wat: ed that he bad killed a man, and was locked up to await an investigation. Thesbodies of Parsons and Duffy were taken to the First district pohce station, where the coroner empannelled a jrfry and commenced holding an inquest. OnJy one witness was examined, when it was concluded to adjourn the Inquest til this morning, when the further investigation of the affair will be resumed at the Coroner's office. sterday before the Coroner The witness examined rg stated that he was in the billiard saloon when Duffy came running in, pursued by Harrison, wno firec at him; that Duffy, while running, fired a pistol over his right shoulder, the ball from which took effect upon some one who was seated in a chair; that Dufly then turaed around and Harrison fired at him the second time, hit- ting him in the breast. There were but three shots fired in the saloon, one by Duffy and two by Harrison. One account is that Harrison actually sho: Duffy in the street, before the scens occurred in the saloon, and that three shots were fired in the street. ‘Thus it will be seen that the accounts as to who killed Dr. Parsons conflict; but from the downward direction of the bell through thebody of the unfortunate doctor, the probabilities are that he was killed F, Duffy. The bai) could not be found im Duffy’s body, or it might have been compared with that taken from the body of the Doctor, to ascertain whether they were from the same pistot. Dufly’s pistol was picked up in the street, at the corner of Gravier and St. Charles streets, still loaded and capped, and lias been deposited in the police sta- jon. The most unfortunate circumstance in this whole affair is the sad fate of Dr. Parsons. He was a native of Texas, and only about 24 years of age; for several years he had been a student at the m 1 college in this city, and only on last Monday night graduated with high honors, receiving his diploma; and yesterday morning he left his home buoyant with the hopes of fa- ture renown in the paths of his profession, and ere nightfall his lifeless form lay weltering in its blood in the streets of our ity, and that, too, for no act of his own. Scarce two months since he became the hap} husband of a fair daughter of Loulsiana, and already bad pleasing hopes of becoming a father; but alas, who can tell what a day may bring forth? His youthful widow, the daughter of Dr. Jones, of Lafayette, is now in the and terrible indeed bas been this blow to her young art. We saw his brother yesterday bending over hin cold clay, weeping most bitterly, and few were the undimmed eyes that witnessed the sad spectacle. John Duffy was s native of Ireland, aged about 35 years, He was an extensive cab and carriage ow: and had been a long time in thecity. He also leaves an interesting family. The greatest excitement prevailed in this portion of the city tnroughbout the evening in regard to this tear- ful tragedy. It was the only tople of conversation, and the Coroner’s office, at the corner of Hevia and St. Charles streeta, was in a complete state of siege, #0 dense was the crowd that surrounded it—all anxious to learn the particulars or see the bodies. Wm. ©. Harrison, the prisoner, is a very respectable young man, who bears a good character in the commu- nity, and is generally liked by all who know him. He has for years been running on the river a6 steamboat, pilot, It is avid that be had frequently been threatened with vengeance by Duffy and his friends, for having ap- peared against him in the Weymouth case, both before and after the trial of that unfortunate affair, ‘The Coroner’s inquest finished their investigation on the ZIat inst., and the jury returned the lolfowing ver- ic ‘We, the jury, do believe that, from the evidence before ma, a native of Louisiana, aged 24’ years, came to his death from a gun shot wound of the right xide of the chest, penetrating the right lung and causing internal hemorrhage—said wound having been inflicted with a pistol ia the hands of John Duffy, in the billiard saloon of the St, Charles Hotel, on tho 20th instant, That John Duily, a native of ‘Ireland, aged 26 years, came to his death trom a gun-shot wound in the middle line of the abdomen, penetrating the right lobe of the liver and causing internal hemorrhage—said wound having been inflicted with a revolver in the hands of one Wm C.

M. ‘The stock market continues slightly depressed. ‘There were large sales at the first board to-day, but lower prices ruled, and st the close the tendency was downward. Illinois Central bonds fell off 1 per cent; Illinois Freeland bonds 1}; New York Cen- tral 7’s, }; Cumberland Coal, 1; Harlem, 3; Read- ing Railroad, j; Ulinois Central stock, 4. Erie Railroad advanced } per cent, and it was the only stock on the list in which there was any improve- ment. The sales ot Cumberland were larger than usual at the decline. Illinois Central bonds were freely offered to-day, and eold from 81 down to 804 percent. About $75,000 changed hands. Virginia 6’s and Indiana 5’s were active, and closed firm. The market is evidently getting weaker, and we should not be surprised to see prices gradually set" tle down. New buyers are much watited, and we cannot look for an advance {on current rates until they make their appearance. All the large specu- Jators for @ rise are fall of stocks, and until they ate relieved of a portion of their supplies, must remain inactive. When they realize to any ex- tent, prices must recede. Productive stocks are not affected so much by these movements of speculators, for £0 large a portion is held for permanent invest- ment that the market is in no danger of inundation, It is the fancy order, those which are so much dead weight in the hands of holders, that are subject to such sudden and severe fluctuations. Money con- tinues abundant, and there are no indications of any unfavorable change. The banks are, however, ex: panding upon a speculative basis, and soon their line will be up to the highest point of last year. ‘This, in the face of the limited commercial movement, does not look well, and mn the event of a revival of business of any importance, the banks must either extend their loans to an unprecedented amount, or contract in certain classes of loans, that would injuriously affect the market value of stocks. The war in Europe will act as a wholesome check upofi mercantile matters. So Jong as that war continues, there will be no activity in trade, and this must lead to an accumulation of money in the hands of capi- talists, who will look about for the best class of atock securities for investment. It is therefore for the interest of Wall atreet that the war should continue, and that the political condition of Europe should become even more complicated than it is at present.

The principal is redeemable January 1, 1885. The bonds are secured by a first mortgage on the entire length of the road and branches, from Phila- deiphia to the Lehigh river. The company has al- ready expended im cash $1,965,765, and holds in bona fide subscriptions money sufficient to complete and equip the work come twenty miles out of Phila- delphia. The proposed loan is said to be amply sufficient to complete it through to the Lehigh river. The circular of Mr. Ieass,O. Davis, of Cincinnati, gives the following revicw of the money market of that city, for the week ending Tuesday evening, March 27, 1855:— The money market is rather easier than last week, altbough complaints are still made.,ae asual, by second clase tcrrowers, who find it very diffieult to get dis- ‘The offerings of this class of paper are large. Prime payer is in demand at moerate figures, afd good responsible names can be negotiated without much diffi- culty. The demand for Eastern exchange is limited, at ap advance over last week’s quotations. Itis now going at % tol per cect premium. Sixty day bills of ua- dounted character on the East are selling, at interest off; sixty day bills on New Orleans, goat interest and 1 per cent dircount, with limited demand. Prices of uncur- upaltered. Indiana stock notes are being from 1 to 26 Pet cent, the latter being the banks. The provision market is quite uoysnt, with an upward tendency in prices, and an increase’ desire for speculation. Our advices from the East pay that money is easy and stocks dull. The non- arrival of the European steamer at its usual time inter feres with the general activity ia New York. Its arrival is looked for with great interest, as the denial or confir- mation of previous news from the Eurepeam powers is anticipated. The stock market here has given way a little and is fluctuating, and rather imactive. Some kinds of recurities have advanced, while others have declined in price. Moreyed men are stil! cautious in thelr investments, and as a general thing prefer State, coun- try, or city securities in the place of railroad stock or bonds We need confidence more than any other thing to ‘tore the equilibri ef prices in our Western securities. Up to the 27th inst., inclasive, the Reading Rail road Compeny had brought to market 157,880 tons of coal. There were on that date four days left of this month, which would average about 8,000 tons each, msking the total for the month 190,000 tons of coal transported, which, at $2 per ton, the ruling price, makes the aggregate receipts of the company frem its coal business, in the month of March, $380,000, against $187,722 for the same month tast year, showing an increase of $193,000. This is an enormous result, almost too extravagans for belief, but the figores make it out to be about so, In the State Assembly yeeterdsy, Mr. Blatchford, from the Committes of Ways and Means, reported the following billto provide mesns to support the government for the fiscal year commencing on the Ist of October next :— Section 1, There shall be imposed for the fiscal year commencing on the first day of October, 1865, State tax of one mill oneach doliar of the valuation of real and perronal property, taxable in this State, to be assess. ed, raired and collected upon and by the annual assens- ments and collection of taxon for said fiscal year, in the manner prescribed by Jaw, tobe paid into the ary of the State, to be there reccived, kept and retained for the use of the general fund, and for the payment of the demands which are or may become chargeable thereon.
