The next question is, whether Senator Douglas, as the author of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, will carry with him any large portion of the Northern’ democratic senators and representatives, I think not. 1 could mention a number ef the Northwestern demo. eratic members who go with the administration. Gov. Wiiliams, of Indiana, for instance. Of the twelve demo- Gratic representatives from New York, I have not seen ene who does not support the President. T learn that the Pennsylvania democratic members are all, 0 far as heard ‘of, with the administration on the question. Senator Big- Jer, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Fitch, of Indiana, and Sena- tor Bright, of the same State, though an intimate personal friend of Judge Dougias, are also with the administration. It would therefore appear that Senator Ponglas’ de fection will not have mueh influence with the democra- tie party. The influence of the administration upon Congress and in the democratic party is at present very powerful. Mr. Buchanan has, discreetly, held back the most important portion of the xecutive patronage. He has along list of ministers and cousuls, and what not, yet to be appointed. Besides, his age experience and personal character have aconsiderable weight with the mass of the people at the North. There will bea strong disposition on the part of the mass of the people to abide by his judgment and ac tion in the matter. The estimates for the service of the next fiscal year are over seventy-foxr millions. But it is to be remarked that based on existing laws, which cannot be changed Dy the Executive Department. ‘The expenditures can ire diminished only by acts of Congress, cutting down the rervice be performed. fessagcaaiaos of the Boston Post.} Wasnr 8, Dec. 5, 1857, New Faces at the Hotels.

Wasi dhe Public Printing Squabtte—News from Utah—The Wagon Road from Fort Defiance’ to Yuba. Some valuable suggestions are made in intelligent cir- cles here as to the essential smperfections of the present system of the printing expenditure, it being a mere mat- ‘er of private emolument, without conferring any benefit of a public nature on the party or the country. It is not unlikely that the system, tf no: thorougt ly obanged, may n some respects. The suggestion is and justice to exact a pledge from he printing job to establish a press at shai! not be a mere organ of the executive ib erninent, but shall reflect the sentiment party in all portions ‘of the country in consonance h the th ry that the public pripting is x matter of reyeesentative and not of & ve pat Advices have been received, as 1 learn, o the Indian Oftice, the Utah expedition, dated at Fort Laramie on she 26th October, stating that the troops would leave im- mediately, and that reports had reached there of a very alarming character i relation to the extent and resources of the Mormon-Indian alliance. It was stated that several tribes of the Utab Indians were regularly enlisted | in Gov. Young's service, and prepared to take the field against the government troops. It is stated, in advices from the same quarter, that Lieut. Beale, now operating under a law of Congress authorizing struction of a wagon road from Fort Defiance to Yuba, will report fa route, and will furnish informati central line of communi cation between the Pacitic and Atlant ahoards that have never yet been prerented to the public. It is time that the popular mind was disab of the idea that iusur. Mountable impediments existed on the central route from snow storms in the winter, A correspondent, writing from Santa Fe, says ‘snow scarcely ever lies longer on the ground than twenty-four bours, even in this latitude, and | the proposed route would run nearly 100 miles south of Santa Fe, with an altiiude of between 2,000 and 3,000 feet below that of this place. ath] the’ Kansas © Treasury—Sena The President and the the Kansas m the annual executive message. It ie well w | however, from private expressions of Mr. Buchanan's views, which he had made to Southern members who have sought his counsel on the s@bject, that he regards the question of the Kansas difficulties very lightly, and as pet calculated to produce any serious or permanent effects | on the organization and best interests of the democratic | Party.

PRIORITIES — REMNANTS AND SURPLUS-—MORTGAGER— FREIGHTER. Justi Pon, et al., vs. The Proceeds of the Brig Arbustus.— The brig Arbostns having been libelled for sea- men’s wages, and for a bottomry bond, and having been sold by process of the Court, and those claims satisfied, here still remained remnants and surplus in the registry of the Court. Two classes of petitioners contested their priority of right to the fund, the demands of each excced bg its entire amount. Firbanks & Co. helda mortgage, | executed in Nova Scotia, to secure a debt incurred there or ber outfit and supplies for the voyage, notice of which mortgage was entered on her register. The libellants held abill of lading, executed by the master during that vo yage, for specie shipped on board and never delivered. Held by the Court, that the claim of libellants was aclear maritime lien upon the veseel. That the ees have a competent legal authority to litigate their right to the fund ting the vessel, although the Court could give no direct remedy against the vessel by way of foreclosure of his mortgage or otherwise. That the libelante having lien upon the vessel have a priorty over the mortgages. ‘That the Cer oe isnot changed by the fact that the foundation of the mortage was a aeit of @ maritime cha. racter accruing for labor and materials furnished by the mortgagees to the vessel. They could claim no priority over, if, indeed, their position was as advantageous as that of an unsecured material man, as by their contract ‘they left the veswel in the hands of the mor r, and hus liable to subs og maritime liens resulting from ment by + ope is clear that if the vessel had wv into the ocean, of the mortgagees under Fieumbrance! and bed afterwards taken on board the shipment in question, she would have been subject toa lien for its value, and there is no legal reason showa for securing them a privilege against this charge, when Jeaving ber im the hands of the '» Superior to trhat they could elaim if placed in’ the hands of the mort gagees.

Colonel McGraw, of the road expedition, is encamped about forty miles from us, and came to our camp on the 15th, and tendered to the commandant the men, mules and wagons in his employ. He has about one hundred mules in good condition, eighteen wagons and about fifty men. This was very patriotic in him, e useful to us.

Tur Gay Skason—Tux Harp Times anp THe Baus.— The wister season has opened gloomily in this city, and all the balls that have been given have felt the effects of the bard times. They are poorly attended, and but very few ef them pay expenses. All the public ball rooms have reduced their prices, and in several a reduction has been made in the price of the suppers. The City Assem- bly Rooms have had but few balls this year, and the at- tendance has been slim, The price of Niblo’s Saloon has been reduced from $100 to $75 per night, and suppers are given for $1. The Apollo Rooms, which have heretofore let for $70, now charge only $50, and suppers now cost only fifty cents. There have been a few balls at the Chi. nese Assembly Rooms, but the greatest falling off has been at Tammany Hall—afact which goes to show the scarcity of money among the poorer classes of ball As yet there bas been no ball held at the Academ: ‘Music, and it is probable that there will not be more five or six [how at that place during the coming season. Private balls and parties are also unusually scarce this season, and there is consequently a prospect of hard times for the caterers to these amusements. It is also noted that although the holidays are approaching, the fancy and and jewelry stores are doing very little business. The operative jewellers and silversmiths are all ide, and the storekeepers have a stock on hand which, at the present slow rate of sale, they will not di Of before next summer.

Dr. Mackay delivered the last lecture of his course last night, at Mozart Hall, the subject being ‘The Songs of Scotland and Ireland’’—rather misnomer, as the lecturer almost ignored the songs and song writers of the latter country, albeit it is universally known as the land of song, and its very name has become syn@pymous with melody and ballad. ‘The lecturer said that there was little known of the pop- ular ballads of Scotland before the invention of printing, the though the Highlands had their bards and Lowlands their scalds and minstrels. The earliest allusion we find to Scottish songs was after the battle of Bannockburn, when they were sung greatly to the annoyance of Englishmen. Of all others at that period, only fragments were left. The first poet of Scotland was # King James Stuart, son of Robert IiT., who lived 452 years ago. On his way to France , James was captured by an English vessel, and confined in England for 19 years, during which time he received the education of an accomplished gentleman. Here he fell in Jove with a Deautiful English lady, and described his love ina poem much in the style of Chaucer, Love with him, as with Burns and almost all poets, was the origin of poetry. To this unfortunate scion of an unfortunate race, Scotland owes much of her literature. After he became James I. of Scotland, he composed many of those beautiful ballads for which his country is sofamous. Among them was “We'll gang no more @Roving;”” at least, so tradition has it; but. song Was also attributed to James V., father of Mary Stuart. James V. did much to make songs fashion; able at court. Drammond, himeelf a vaamired rr compositions greatly. Indeed, Rare Ben Johnson esteemed him go excellent @ poet that “he walked from London to sce him, The lecturer then mentioned many old songs of Ubis period to show the excellence of Scottish songs at that era. Mary Stuart, he said, inspired more songs than any woman since Helen of ‘Troy. Chaletait, her secretary, was the first to give to Scottish popular song that easy musical flow of the French style; and the unhappy Rizzio imparted to it much of the soft tone of the Italian school. The Reformation had a deteriorating influence on Scottish music. Many of the finest old chaunts of the Catholic church were adapted by the Reformers to comic songs in derision of the Catholic church and the Catholic clergy ; 80 that a distinguished man of that time once remarked that the music seemed to be made by angels and the words by devils, The poetic legends of Scotland were revived in song pence, Scott and many others; but it had been recently discovered that many of their ballads were not older than the seventeenth century. In- deed, it was difficult to trace the authorship of old songs. And this was pot to be wondered at when we remember that Moore was charged by Francis Mahony (better known as Father btaape | with having s‘olen many of his songs from ol Latin and Greek ballads, which Mr. Mahony introduced into his book “‘ The Reliques of Father Prout.” It was be- lieved to beso. Campbell was also charged with having stolen ‘The Exile of Erin’ from some hedge school- master of whom no one ever heard before or since (! Wolfe’s poem, ‘ The Burial of Sir John Moore,” was to have been stolen from an Irish lawyer; just as if a lawyer, and that an Irishman, would allow anything to be stolen from him without proclaiming his grievance. With regard to another gong, ‘ Cheer, Boys, Cheer,” written by an intimate friend of his whom he would not mention, lest he might blush, the authorship was considered doubt- fulenough. An Fdinburg paper, and ‘Notes and Queries”? gave the credit of it to @ lady who wrote @ parody on it, ‘Dut the original wax written in 1849 and the lady’s verses did not appear till 1854. But some people can see farther into a milestone than their neighbors. The lecturer then alluded to the fact that the it songs came from men sprung from the peopie. Allan Ramsay, the barber, Fer- guseon, the sailor, Burns, the ploughman, Hogg, the shep- herd, Motherwell, the vagrant, and Tannahill, the weaver: these were the masters o! song, of whom many noble la- dies. like the authoress of “Auld Robin Gray,” were mere imitators. Ramsay, he said, except Burns was the — song writer of Scotland. After his time there were three songs and three writers that deserved special mention. Wm. Julius Nicholl, author of ** There’s nae Luck about the House; Rey. John Skinner, author of “The Veil of Tuilachgorum;”’ and Hector MeNeil, author of “Wee Boy Tammy.” These songs stood the test ofa hundred [anda and they would stand the test of a hundred more. ext to these might be classed the Jacovite songs, and it was strange that the losing canse in polities always in- | spired the noblest and sweetest music. But in the glory of Burns all minor stars paled their ineffectual rays. Ho was at the head of all the song writers the world yet pro- duced. He dwelt at great length on the influence Burns exercised on bis countrymen, and even on all races of men, on this side of the ocean as well as the other. He in- spired Allen Cunningham and Hogg, Tannabill and Hugh Miller. The lecturer then referred to the songs of Ireland. He said they were not as distinctive as those of England or Scotiand. “Patrick's Day”’ and “T’addy Carey” were written by Englishmen, and represent the Irishman in the stage, not in nature. Moore's songs were written in cle. gant and beautiful English, but he could not be placed on an equality with Burns. He wrote for the drawing room, not for the fireside of the poor. He was not the poet of the people, but of the upper section, who could subseribe two or three guineas for a copy of the Melodies; he wrote for countesses, who sang his songs to the kept plenty of servants and gave good dinners. When he ascended to treat of the wrongs of Ireland, his flight was not steady; it was that of the small bird, not of the eagle. His best songs were essentially Fnglish: of such were “The Last Rose of Summer ’’—'‘ Come Rest in this Bo- som,’ and “The Meeting of the Waters.”” These were all beautiful, but they were not Irieh. ‘The genuine Irish bal- lads were equally susceptible of a funny and a tender in- terpretation. Thus, when Moore sat down to play “ The Groves of Blarney he found that it suited ‘“ The Last Rose of Summer,’ and “ The Boys of Kilkenny,’’ he set The Vale of Avoca.” Lover and Lever, in his esti- mation, had written the best Irish songs. They were as much Irish as Irish whiskey or the brogue of the emigrant just landed in New York. Lover's song of Micky Free” he thought was a perfect model of military song, better than anything produced in England or Scotland. Tn con- clusion, the leeturer said that the greatest honor a man conld aspire to was to be a good English or American writer; for thoogh the Spaniards and the Fre had noble language, they were enslaved, and it was as impossible ‘for a people without ’ freedom to produce or a wholesome iitera- good Kon) | ture, as build a house without a foundation, or to saii a | ship'without water, Mr. Mackay then read two original ballads, and the chairman announced that Mr. Mackay would deliver an original poom called * The Picture on the Wall,” in that room, on Monday night next, The Collision Between the Ocean Wave and Long Branch. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Will you allow me a little space to correct some erro- neous impressions, made by the publication of the above accident in your paper of yesterday. It was thought from reading it that Col. Jones was severely and dangerously injured, which I am happy to say i# not the case. It is lett to be inferred that the Ocean Wave is not to be found, as she was barely saved from sinking by shifting freight \ the other side of the boat—and there she is left—and ‘the Long Iiranch barely able to move. = Parker, of | the Ocean Wave, informs me that after the accident oc- curred, no person being injured, the passengers requested him to return to Thompron’s Highland Dock, ‘which he did—the Long Branch being already there—and went from there to Ocean} He also learned that there was nobody injured on d the Long Branch. He alsosaw Col. Jones active) ‘foc others: = pe apparently as well as ever. He says they were Horse Shoe when the collision took eines ana and how the “crash of the boats as they came could bave been heard at the Tel station , ye 4 remarkable, as the distance between them is hot less than 21; miles, and the surf is continually roaring at the very door ef the station.

A general court-martial is ordered to convene at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Territory, on the 6th day of Janu- ary next, for the trial of certain officers and soldiers now stationed at that post.
