As the stone of Solomon's ; je, which had been rejected by the builders, even- tually became the head stone of the building, so Christ, ‘who Was rejected by the builders’ of his day, was des- twed to be the chiet corner stone of God's Tabernacle. , By the union of sentiments in this denomination, (Congre- 4 pal,) he was reminded of a beautiful scene at a } schoo! celebration in Brooklyn, where the children of all denominations had entered the church apd left their banners outside. In addressing them , itstruck him that he could not recognise the Baptists from tthe Presbyterians, or the Choariestionadiita from the Methodists. So he thought it would be when they all en ‘tered God’s tabernacle in heaven, They would all leave their bannors outside the wal's, and could not be distia- guished from one another within. | Rev. Dr. Trompson stated that as some of those present might desire to know what sort of a church they were t to have, he would remark that the extreme le: fl id be 150 feet, width 88 feet.

It jseems the James Irving Musketeers, an independent vol- tunteer company, were marching down Broadway to the {Astor House, where they were to partake of a dinner, when a stage driver, either through accident or design, ran into the midst of the company and broke the line. pOne of the officers spoke to the driver and told him not to jdo that again, whereupon the driver retorted sharply. Upon this the incensed musketeer sprang on the tbox of} the omnibus and commenced beating the unfortunate Jehu, and not content with using his fist, j Struck him over the head and body with the scabbard of ‘his sword. The other stage drivers who were passing, iseeing the affray, made demonstrations as if to heip ‘their unfortunate knight of the whip; but a number of the ‘musketeers threw down their arms and went to the as- jsistance of their officer. At this stage of the proceeding athe confusion became more confounded, and it looked as {though a bloody fight was inévitable, but peacemakers linterfered, and quiet was at length restored. The driver "was found to be dreadfully injured. { But this was not the only attempt at arow. As the Peterson Light Guard were marching down Chatham street, fabout two o'clock in the afternoon, they were salut }with shower of stones from a gang of the Dead Rabbits {who stood at the corner of Baxter street. Fearing a more serious assault, the members of the company fixed their ayonets, and made a demonstration as if to charge, hereupon the rowidies tled and molested the “Petersous” no mere. OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY IN BROOKLYN. § mnis holiday was generally observed in Brooklyn yester day. The stores and other places of business geuerally {were closed, except the candy and toy shops, and appear- jances outside indicated the appearance of Sunday. The Eburches were well attended in the morning, aud in Sands -street and Fleet street Methodist churches the Sanday -schools celebrated the day in a becoming manner. The Tohildren sang a uumber of songs, addresses were de- Siivered, and after the proceedings concluded they were Screated to confectiouaries, &¢., much to their own gratiti scation. The day passed off quietly and orderly. i TELEGRAPHIC. i CHRISTMAS IN PHILADELPHIA. . Pucravenouta, Dec. 25, 1857, ( me weather is cold, with indications of snow.

LeGarion Or Rance UN THK UrTay Stara, Wasuincton, Jan. 13, 1857. Sm:—Suadry French subjects, resideuts of Greytown, in the prosecution of trade, were damaged in their pro- perty by the act, on the 13th of May, 1854, of the Crane, of the federa! navy, against that town, in consequence of a difference which had arisen between the government of the United States and the local authorities of the place. Unconuected with the causes which brought about that act, they still abstain from raising the question of its ex- pediency, aud are éatisfled, through my mediation and with the approval of the Emperor’s government, to apply to the government of the United States and solicit from its sense of equity an indemnity for the losses inflicted upon them by the act of the Cyane, which they could not avoid, as that vessel, having appeared at Greytown on tac Lith, laid down its ultimatum onthe 12th, aud destroyed the town on the 13th of the month. [t waa thorefore physi- call Hopoetene fer the forel traders to protect (ue is which they held in dwellings or stores from the ombardment and conflagration of the town. My reasons for not now producing the vouchers with which the French merchants of Greytowa had backed the claims committed to me, must be an earnest to you of the care taken by the government of the Emperor that the amount of those claims shall be strictly confined to the losees actually sustained, After those documents had been sent to me I transmitted them to the govera- meat of the Emperor; and upon is order to that eftect, steamer Acheron was desputchea to Greytown with directions to the commander to institute an into the nature and the amount of the losses incurred on the 18th May by the French subjects. This investigation was made on the spot, and on data supplied at once by the parties complainant, by the other res.tenta of the town, and by the foreign consuls, I caunot, therefore, for the present, submit to , sir, the documents which vouch for the claims of the French traders of Greytown, anc which are now in the hands of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I confine myself to asking, with them and for them, that the equitable sense of the -govern- ment of the United States shall recognise their right to | an indemnity on its part for the tosses which they bave borne through the act of &@ vessel of the federal navy, remarking at the same time that the ground of an indemnity being once admitted, in vestigations which have been respectively made by ‘the consuls of the United States and the other consuls, and by the commander of the Acheron, will supply an adequate Dasis for auaccurate estimate of the camage to be re- paired.

Upon fall consideration of the subject em raced in the note of the Count de Sartiges, the President bas uot been able to find any ground of right, or even equit; which such a reclamation can be sustained The logees for which indemuity is sought the bombardment of Greytown on the 15t! by the Uuited States sloop of war Cyane not made in the name of the French gov its approval the French Minister has pres the notice of this government. On this ceived the most respectful consideration sideration would not be given to it without ‘view questions of international law which cau only be ap- propriately discussed on a direct issue betweea indepen dent Powers. ‘The claim to indemnity in this case js not placed distinct ly on the ground of right, nor is the jy of the conduct of the United States munity at Greytown called in question. Should this point be raised by any party having a right to bring :t into dis- cussion, there would be no difficulty in justifying the bombardment upon well settled princip ternationa’ law, and by memorable examples in tho conduct of the most enlightened nations. The President, in bis annua! message to Covzross of the 4th of December, 1554, presented bis views on Laat sib- ject, and a reference to that document will reader it un, uecessary to reproduce them inareply to the uote of Count de Sartige= Jn disposing of the presont app! are pot called on to vindicate the who are members of the commun'ty of. provocation and the propriety of the chastisement as that community is concerned, are not to be bre into discussion.

If there were persons in Greytown whea it was bombarded who 9id not belong to the political organiza. ed, and who suifered in consequence of that bombardment, they can only resort for indemnity, if entitled to it, to that community. Tt was to that commu- nity they committed their persons and property, and by ing them Within its jurisdiction it assumed the obli- protecting them.

If 1t were posaible to conceive a case whore foreign eailants world be bound to compensate the merchants of neutral Powers for losses sustained in the country of their domivile. that of Copentiagen was such a case. There was no pr ve declaration of war a Denmark —no ground for the hostile attack upon the capital of that countey. This it admitted by an eminent British his torian, who would fain find an excuse for the conduct of his government. ‘The undersigned, after diligent search has not been able to discorgr o single cate of reclamation mace u reat Britam for the losses » ed on that ogeasion by foreign merchants or domiciled tPaders at Co. penbagen.

Tho cases referred to fully warrant the conclusion of the President on the question raised by the pptination of the French traders, presented through thi it de Sartiges. The fact that they incousiderately placed their property in the custody of those who did mot protect it, and are unable to remunerate them for its loss, furnishes no pretence for re- sorting to any other Power for iudemnity. The principle which seems to be invoked to sustain tho reclamation in this case, if it were adopted as a rule of internatioual law, would be most dangerous to the tranquillity of the world. A very brief illustration of its effects will justify this couciusivn. If it exists ag a rule of international law, it is most strikingly applicable to the caaca which have been refer- red to, particularly to the destruction of the property of neutrals at Copenhagen and Canton, Under such a rule all patious whose subjects or citizens sustained losses by the bombardment of these cities could apply for redress to the Power which they might regard aa the offeading party, and, asa necessary consequence, these would have the right and be bound by the obligations of duty towards their subjects to discuss and pass judgment upca the conduct of tho bel!igerents, in orcer to detor mize the question of reaponaiditity. ‘Tbe arty which upon such an inquisitive investigation, ol: found miost in the wrong, would be required to indemnify the eufferors. Claims depending upon such an issue would never be admitted, nox could they be enforced without a resort to hostilities. A principic that wonld tolerate such an inquisition into the conduct of belligereuts, by Powers not parties in the original controversy, could not fail to be a fruitful source of international complications. ‘The undersigned bas thus far considered the case as it Would’stand i! the claimants were what they represented themselves to be—merely foreign residents of Greytewa— and if Greytown was thea ia fact what the note of the Count de Sartiges assumes it to have boon—a sovereign State He speaks of the difficulty between that place and the United as a difference originating between tro sovereign States. Taking this view ef the establish ment at Greytown—though it is cot oue in which the government of the United States is inclined to coucur—it Will be proper to consider the relatioug and connection which the applicant had with it in the character of a sovereign State.

During the period of their association they had earned for themsactves no better character than tat of a marauding establishment, too dangerous to be disregarded, and too guilty to pass unpunished.

WIHAJAM L. MARCY. The Condition of Yucatan. 17S IMPORTANCE TO THE UNITED STATES—VIEWS OF PRESIDENT YOLK, SKECRRTARY CASS, KX-SKCRETARY DAVIS, SENATORS HANNEGAN, WEATCOTT, HOUSTON, AND OTHER DISTINGUISHED STATESMEN— DESIGNS OF GREAT BRITAIN ON THE PENINSULA, BTC., ETC. TO THK EDITOR OF THK: HERALD. The value and importance of Yucatan to tbe true inte- rests of the United States cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. Itis incomparably more valuable to the real interest: and safety of th.s republic than Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Utah, all combined. Of this there cannot bea reasonable doubt, and we will support our position by the views and opinions of some of the most eminent statesmen. The only time that Yucatan has been brought fairly before our peopleand goverment, was in 1848, when she sent hither a Commitsioner to solicit the interposition of our government to save that unfortunate State from extinction, President Poli, in his special message of April 29, 1845, communicating to Congress the nature of the ap- Plication from Yucatan, thus expressed himself in refe reuce to the importance of this provision to the commer- cial and political interests of the United States:— “Our own security requires that the established policy thus announced, (the Monroe doctrine,) should guide our conduct, and this applies with greal force to the peninsu- la of Yucatan. It is situated im the Gulf of {fexico, on the North American continent, and from its vicinity to Cuba, tothe capes of Florida, to New Orleans, and, indeed, to our Whole southwestern coast, it would be dangerous to our peace and security, if it should become acolony of any European nation.’? Such were the sentiments of the great statesman who controlled the destinies of America during the administration of President Polk. These views and opinions were re-echoed in the Senate chamber by the greatest minds in that body of distinguished patriots and statesmen. The present eminent head of the Department of State thus announced his views on the subject of the importance of Yucatan to the interest of the United States, in the de- bate on Hannegan’s resolutions: — Lnow come, Mr. President, to other and perhaps graver considerations, directly or indirectly involved in this ques- tion. The Gulf of Mexico is the reaervoir of the great river of the North American continent, whose importance it is as difficult to realize as it is the value of the country which must seck an outlet tothe ocean through its waters. That country is nearly equal to all Europe in extent, embracing twenty-tive degrees of latitude and thirty-five of longitude upon the great circles of the globe, This vast basin ex first tree fell before the woodman’s stroke in this great domain, and the tan is now living who will live to see it contain one huadred millions of people. Already the hardy Western pioneer has crossed the barrier of the Rocky Mountains, and the forest is giving way before hu man industry upon the very shores that look out upon China and Japan, Tne Mississippi is the great artery of this region: which, drawing its supplies from the fountains rivals in fuct—the most magnificent empire which God, in his providence, has ever given to man to reclaim and en joy. 1 have myself descemtied that great stream two thousand miles in birch canoe, admiring the country through which it passes in astate of nature, and lost in the contemplation of what that country is to be when sub- dued by human industry. * * * If England, in the pursnit of the same system (which has characterised her movements in regard tothe Mediterranean), should acquire similar commanding itions on the Gulf of Mexico, that great revervoir would become # mare clausum, and no Keel wotld plough it, nor convass whiten it in’ time of war, but by her permission. Now, sir, looking to the ex: tent of onr coast in that direction—to the productions which mest pass there to seek & market—to the nature of our populktion—and to the effect upon all these which a permanevt naval superiority would produee—wbere is the ‘American who is hot prepared to adopt any measures to avert such a calamitous state of things? Who can fail to see the nature of the ange warfare which England would carry on in all times of hostilities from her various positions, which would encircle the Gulf, from the Baha mas to Cuba and to Yucatan? aud who also can fail to see thet even in time of peace her many barbors would be. come places of refuge for a certain class of our populs. J Yhat perpetual collisions would occur, involving mntries? The Gulf of Mexico, sir, must be practic for the great par jrity—hot to exclude other pations from its en joyment, but to prevent any dominant Power, with for- ign or HmMote interests, (rom controlling its navigation, * © 4 Ttshould be a cardinal prineiple in our policy, never te be lost sight of, that the command of the Gui of Mexico must never pase into foreign hands. Ite great geographical features indicate at onee our safety and our danger. From the southern point of Florida to Yucatan, the chon! of the are does not probably exceed two hun dred and fifty miles—a shorter distance than that from Yucatan to Vera Cruz. From the southern point of rida to Cuba, it is not more than forty miles from th: westernextremity of Cuba to the peoinsula of Yucatan it is not more than sixty miles. These two outlets—the lat ter into the Caribbean sea aad the former into the Atiantic ocean—do not, therefore, exceed one hundred miles in their united whith, and together make the exit and entrance of the Gull, Opposite the mouth of the Missis- sippl is the noble harbor of Havana, almost within sight of eich the whole commerce of the Galf passes. Eng Jand has already got the Bahama Islands, with the port of Nassau and other positions. So jong as Cuba and Yuontan are held by their present possessors, neither we nor the jal world have anything to from Enghsh pro. ts, ver they may be. But let their dominion be transferred to England, and where are we? The mouth of our great river might at any time be hermetically sealed ‘and the most disastrous injuries inflicted upon tis. One important step in the command of the outlet of the Gulf of Mexico sho bas already taken by the possession of the Bahamas, if she gets peaceable possession of Yucatan, by our remissness, she will have taken the second. Cuba may be the Inst, I will ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina if he would advocate the interference of this country by force, if England were attempting by force to take possession ‘of Yucatan? And if he would— as I beleve he Lo magnate can he be to parte ‘nee to do pacefully what we inay peacefully prevent? ‘Tone nverling and patriotic sentiments, so worthy the dis- Sh by England would soon be follow: Cuba. T entertain no doubt that if now, ive years hence shall see her in Cuba. I doubt it no more than! do my own existence. Tdoubs it no more than | doubt that the trees will put forth weir leaves and that the grass will renew itself next soring. It ie inevitable. Every indication #. The conduct of England becomes mare States from Cape const, with al] 48 sinuosities, them ja the bands of Bogland, and she controls the mouth of the Mississippt as abroluigl ‘aa she controls the mouth of the Thames. We shall ‘ble to go in or out with out her permission, Is it not enough that she holds ail the maritime ower of the north Atlantic const? Is it not sufficient that she bi Halifax, standipg out as it does—that mighty observatory, dhe most prominent feature of the coast’ Shall we stand still, quietly folding or arms while she i¢ proceeding thus to hem us in and encircle us with her possessions’ Shall We, by rejecting this bill, show thet we are willing to ao. quivece in her aggressions’ Sir, will the American go-* vernment stand quietly by and ere England taking posses sion of Yucatan—ani if we refuse to act she wil do so, for she is acting it advauce—she bas taken the first step; the Governor of Jamaica has been already appealed to, And he will probably respond to that appeal—before we act? If we fold our arms and refuse to render assistance to drive beck the ravages and protect Yucatan, the proba. bility is—-may, it is « certainty—that England will seize upon Yucatan, and afterwards upon Cubs. There is one feature in this correspondende to which | specially desire to call the attention of the Senate, to sbow the design of England. The allusion i 0 of the letters of Mr. Sierra, the Comailxsioner of Yucatan, is so broad as not to be misunderstood—that England is absolutely, through hor agents, formishing these Indians with arms and munitions ‘of war, to enable them to pursue this horrible massacre. ‘The Indians who are driving the mbabitants to the soa const are armed with British muskets, bearing the tark of the Tower of London. [tis more than hem sage that they are supplied through the instrumentality of Mr, Patrick Walker, the British agent at tha Balizo, where Where vise do ‘hey procure them? In one of the communications to the cretary of State, the allusion to this fact iso broad that ost amovute to a distinct charge. I put it, thon, to snato, if we stand quietly by, if we aro deat to the “OW mado to us, if we refuse to reapond to it, the * Fewult will be that Engiand will so:ze upon bo:h ott said, speaking of England:—‘She wants tan portant naval position, from which she can, in time of \ ¥8) harraas and apnoy our commerso in the Gulf of Mexic * 40d that which goes through the Carib bean Sew farther m ‘th; and asa military outpost, from Which she can aseail ‘ue Ove States lying oa the Gulf,” &e. Mr. Houston said: “:T0 my apprelension, true policy would enforce upon f°. United Statee the pers < taking possession ‘of Yuca (0, if there is oven tho slightest yeni ity of its falling inte the hands of auy other uation. if a foreign Power should pox’es8 it, with av able force at its command, it could at any \ime cut off our commerce with the Aantic, and render it insecure, even within the Gulf of Mexico, From the Sisal, hy Yucataa, to Havana, in Cuba, the distance is little more tian a hundred miles; but from its cape to the nearest part of Cubs, it is litte more than sixty miles. Around t there are various harbors, in which sieamers of sonve- Bient draught of water could shelter, To the north of it, dhe roadstead is excellent. Heuce the outlet frour the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic, through the bay of Hondu- Tas, would be subject to whatever Power might have pow session of Yucatan, From Havana to the Cape of Florida, embrachg the great eastern outlet to the Atlantic for our commerce, will be aabject to the contro! of any Power which may have the greatest interest with the govern- ment of Cuba. The ascendency which Eugiand holda of ‘Spain, would secure to her all the benefits, commercial or Warlike, which she could desire, or which could arge from the enjoyment of the facilities afforded by the ports ‘and harbors of Cuba, Thus is easily discovered the incon venience and detriment which might arise to the com- merce of the United States from the sion of Yucatan by any Power which may, by possibility, be placed in a hostile attitude to the United States. It Is uearer to the mouth of the Mississippi river than even Vera Cruz or any important port of Mexico. Any great naval Powor cn gaged ina war with the United States, would have the means of effectually cutting off our commerce with the Atlantic by the possession of Yucatan and the occupation of Cuba; and we know that natious in war are unseru pulous as to the means employed to insure success. What Would be the condition of the great West aad South if the mighty egress from the Mississippi to our commerce was entirely prevented? It would be ruinous. Then it is our duty to prevent every probable impediment which might remotely affect that great interest.” Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, the late able and energetic Secretary of War, said:—" We have seen Grest Britain year after year, extending her naval stations, until by a line of circumvallation, she almost surrounds the Gulf Mexico. We see her posts at telegrapme distances from the banks of the Bahamas to the mouth of the Oronoco, And, cer tainly, we may be jealous of any attempt on her part to s0ize a cape which actually commands the entrance into the Gulf from the Caribbean Sea, The Chairman of the Committee on: Foreign Helations bas nected with this the question of the pos: Yucatan and Cuba are the salient points commanding the Gulf of Mexico, which J hold to be a basin of water belong peninsuia of Yucatan | 5 — FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
