It will be seen that out of fourteen passages Mere was but ene in which the same amount of thse was occu- pied that has already been consumed, and yet she has not arrived. And what is more strange is the eoincidence that the Daniel Webster, whic eonsiderably over at New Orleans, should also be missing.

From Spain there is no sof importance. Our Madrid correepondeat, writing under date of March 12, states that the cabinet is undergoing frequent defeate in the Cortes: bnt it goes on unheeding, and ministers stick to thelr places as if the nation were obliged to submit to their oranipotence and tolerate in cilence their blondering folly.

Commodore Spalding still re- mained ia port with the Home Sqnadron, Senor Francis Alvarez, one or the oldest and most respect- ed merchant citizens of Uavana, died on the 24th, Intelligence from Key West to the 25th instant, states that a detachment of United States troops had been sent from the garrison at that place to Fort Dallas, to assist in protecting the inhabitanta from the outrages of the Indians. Some Indians had been geen in the neighborhood of Key Vaceas, and created great consternation among the iohabitants, No dayage had been done, additional to what has been already published. In the United States Senate, yesterday, Mr. Clay- ton made an explanation in reference to Wilkes’ Lxploring Expedition, and stated that the entire cost of the expedition, including four years’ service, printing, &e., was about $1,250,000. The consider- ation of Mr. Iverson’s resolutions for the appoint- ment of a committee with power to summon the members of the Naval Retiring Board before them, and gscertain the reasons which governed the action of the Board, was resumed. Mr. I. spoke to the resolutions, reviewing the action of the Board, and strongly sympathising with the victims of that tribunal. [a the House of Representatives, the Military Committee was instrneted to inquire into the expediency of accepting the services of volan- teers to uid in the suppression of Indian hostilities onthe Pacific ceast. The chairman of the Com. mittee of Ways and Means reported a bill appro- priating $300,090, to be expended under the direction of the President, for maintaining the peaceable disposition of the Indians on the Pacitic, and $120,000 for gunpowder.

Seward, Gree- ley and others, bolted when tbey discovered that an American plauk was to be placed inthe platform. At their meeting last evening Gen.

The United States propeller Arctic, Commander Hartatein, arrived at this port last evening aftera eruise of forty-niue days, in search of vessels in dis- tress. She experienced a succession of heavy gales, but met with no vescels requiring assistance. A row of six etables which were being torn down in Water street, fell with aloud crash, yesterday afternoon, and several children, who were around the premises, were buried under the ruins. One boy was taken out quite dead, and two little girls were s0 seriously injured that they are not expected to recover, Several others were slightly injured. The negro Wilson, who was arrested on a charge cuttling the schooner Eudora Imogene, and af- srwards discharged, was yesterdey arrested by the United States authorities, and committed @m a charge of creating a revolt on board of thatywieel.

Presl- dential Parvivs, Candidates and Nimina- Debe. itve now of certain as any pobitical event of the future cap be, tbat there will be three Presidential cardidates in ihe field for the bent election, The Know Notbings, or Americans, have al- resdy presented their mem, Millard Fillmore, the associate of General Taylor im the contest of 1848, apd the President of the United States ox the death of the General, formerly a whiz, apd now the chief of the national Know No- ibinge, bas been celected as the standard bea:- er of that pariy. Mr. Fillmore is in every re- gard a most reepectable map. Without having thown merked abilities, he has ever maiptain- ed the character of gentleman, and as far as we know, tbat of an upright, fair man. Asthe President of the United States, he did few ibings justly eutjecting him to censure. He eft office with the positive distinction of hav- yng etrained at nothing, and with the reputa- tion of s patriotic chief magistrate. It ie, per- baps, to be remembered that Mr. Fillmore’s soministration was signalized by certain dis- integration of the old parties, and a species of fusion of the most prominent and distioguish- ed of our public men. Itis undoubtedly trae, therefore, that Mr. Fillmore epjoys a certain amcunt of reputation for extreme party moéeration which is borrowed from the circomstances of the times in which be acted a prominent part. Mr. Donelgon, the Vice Presicentia! candidate on the ticket with Mr. Fillmore, is also a highly respectavle gen- ‘*tleman, and none the lees known for hia early copnection with General Jackson. The American party, thus arrayed jn fuli costume, are yet to form a national character and exhibit their real purposes before the country. The Niccex Worsuiprers, or black repub- licans, are to hold their national convention and make their nominations on the 17th of June. They, too, are new comers, and if tn2y succeed in exhibiting their real character purposes, there is @ etrong probability that their leaders, instead of being elected to the Presidency, will be tried and convicted 0: treason to the constitution. It isa remarkable fact, indecd, that the public mind of & section ot the country bas become so poisoned and Gebased that a formidable party of Nicarr Worsuippers has been organized and is dis puting the election of President and Vice President with that old and at least reapect able tamily, called the democracy. There ere at the head of the phalanx of Nic ser Worsnirrens abont half a dozen men posted as candidates, The effort now is to fal! away from the old abojition stills and to give the concern respectability by the nomination of Judge McLean, of Ohio, and John Bell, o1 Tennessee, This project signifies the con’ yiction that the race is hopeless on the bstis of the Niaarr Worsuiprgrs’ creed—ut- ter hostility to slavery in every conceivable sbape; cr rather, perhaps, it isa kind of cog- ncvit of Mr. Seward and Mr. Chase, who retire from the field becanze, like the people of Kansa Y they do not find the required number to effect a complete organization. It is safe to say that neither Seward nor Chane, nor any other per- son who espirce to honors bigher than a nom'~ nation, will be put upon the course. Banks mey he used, McLean may be used, Campbell and Fremont may be used; but neither of these last mentioned gentlemen could be nominated for spy other position than that of being can- Gigstes. Ifsn election was possible Seward would be the beneficiary. On tke 2d of June the democracy, which stands elope as to antecedents, will present their candidates. At least they have in tle feld many names identified with the history ot the republic— names of distinction all over the world. Ger. Case, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Dougla J Mr. Wise, Gen. Rusk, Mr. Hunter, Mr. Dallas— all these gentlemen will have their friends e‘ Cincinnati. Mr. Pierce will also be there by proxy; but we greatly fear that, failing to get « Te-pomination, he will be unable to 0 control his iriends es to confer that distinction upon another. The truth is, Mr, Pierce has had very good luck. He was a candidate withont @ Diography—a great man without a history. He served bis country so mcdestly that no one knew bow—and for these things he was nominated and elected, and thereby the o- count is thought to be squared. Just at this mo- ment be is President, and the greatest service which be caa do for his country is yet before him——that of leaving the White House. Ji is pow moet probable, impressed and de- graded like by the exceedingly mortifyiug failures of the past, the democracy will prs cent as their candidates men of the highest character and known politicel experieace and probity, They are invited to do so, not only by their own past errore, but by the great folly and madnece of their opponente. Justly rey- resented by able and worthy candidatca, tney will be prepared to enter the liets with m ny promises of suesess. One thing ought to be considered — that par- ties, like individuals, are apt to feel buoyant, ond to possess, in truib, increased power w tuddenly relieved of oppression. The total extinction of the present administration will go far to reyiye the latent energies oi the democracy, and conceding that they are cble at Cincianeti to unite upon a respectable man, they will have the Presidency closely coruer- ed. The honest truth is, that availability now resis upon one point—no man is available in the prevent thirst after high qualifications who is not thoroughly known aud tested.

Axorger Virator, May ar Lance ~ Were ake thE Powice?~The fiendish practice of throwing vitrio) npen the dresses of ladies, which caused so much excitement among us scme years sgo, and still more recently, has been sgain revived. On Sunday evening last two Jadies, while returning home, with a frievd, from a sacred concert at the City Ae tembly Rooms, had their dresses destroyed by vitriol, The dresses, which were shown to us by the gentleman who secompanied them, were of the moat costly silk and velvet, and were 80 badly damaged as to be uafit for fur- ther use, About seven years ago a young physician. who had indulged in the malicious amusement tor a long time, in Broadway and other principal thoroughfares, was at last ar. rested and committed to the city prison, where he put an end to his life by inhaling chloroform. In his case the police were alay grossly and culpably remias ia the perfor. mance of theirduty, A few years later an- other vitriol men commenced operations, a0d carried on the practice for several days before he was detected, and durihg that time destroyed thousands of dollars worth of clothes. H- was lightly punished; but the terrible warp ing presented in the death of the uafortauat: suicide, and the punishment of the second criminal, seem to have had little or no effect, ifwe may judge from the revival of the prac- tice. There is one thing certain, however— that if the police were ae vigilant as they should be such flendiah acts could never be committed with impunity. Are the recent or ders of Mayor Wood still in force? If so, then we trust the policeman, or policemen, on whose station the dresses of those ladies were Gestroyeg will be held to strict accountability We have just been called upon by another gentleman, who states that his two sisters had their silk dresses and mantillas destroyed while on their way home, on Sunday nighi last, from Dr, Chapia’s church, in Broadway; and @ communication in another column in- forms us that yet a third party were sufferers from the tame cause. One gentleman has of fered one thousand dollars for the apprehen- sion and punishment of the offenders, another one hundred and fifty, and a third five hun dred. Surely, if such inducements do no: arouse the vigilance of the police nothing will. How long will this vitriol man be allowed to go at large? If the Mayor has the power -- as we believe he has—he should offer a rew .rd for the detection of the scoundrels.

He said that at a meetirg of the Naval Board, one of them submited a resolution providing that the ses- mors of the board should be held openly; but it was voted down by « large majority, thus showing that the board acted like a band of secret coneptrators, in some respects worse than the Spavish Inquieition, ‘for that bearé the accused in his own detence, but this board struck without bearing.

A fall house greoted the début of Mr. Keller’s company last night. The new piece, ‘Phanor amd Azemas’? seema to have been goiten up as a frame for the pictures presented by the really admirable artists under Mr. Kele ler’s clrection. The acene represented is a Grecian feast, with a series of tableaux vivanis, the first of waich wag the Triumph of Galatea. The grouping of the picture waa in the best taste, and the effect wes #0 beautifal and #0 novel, that it called down the repeated and hearty plaudita of the house. The Golden Shower followed,’ and wan no lees resplendent. Famine gave a vivid con- trast to the joyour ensemble of the Shower of Gold. Mr. Keller’s acting in this tableau was the perfection of pantomime. The Battle cfthe Amazons was exesedingly well arranged, and every one fell in love with the beautiful representatives of Faith, Hope and Charity, Them there wae the Queen of Flowers, re- olining im her beautjful couch, faced by a tavlewu repre- senting the Genius of America supported by the arms of the State. The whole {éabkau was excellent, and wag much revished by the audience, Then ensued a curious scene—Mr. and Mrs, Keller ape ~ peared on the stage, end distributed a lage number of beautiful bouquets tothe audience. The scramble for these floral cfferings was amusing in the extreme, The enter/ainmernt clored witha representation of Lentzo’s great picture, ‘‘ Washizgton Crossing the Delaware.” It was an exact and apirited copy of the painting, and wag. received with repeated cheers. We lack space to faithfally describe this entertain- ment, which is gracefu’, artistic, novel, and withal so chaste 4s not to offend the most fastidious mind. Mr, Keller’s troupe has completely mastered the great diffi culty in the wey of all such representations—that is, the artiste seem in the most perfect re- pose. The effect of the pictrres is much heightened by this, Asa pure school ef art, to gratufy the eye andat the same time rot to offend the moral sense, Mr. Kelier’g living pictures ais :' oxeeeding vee.
