In both houses of Congress yesterday the death of Benator Evans. of South Carolina, was officially announced, and eulogies were delivered by both the political friends and opponents of the deceased. The usual resolutions of respect were adopted, and the funeral was attended bya large body of his co laborers of either house. The occupants of sheds and stands on the new made ground west of Washington market held an- other meeting yesterday evening. The various com mittees reported progress, and a speech was made, which called forth considerable applause. All who hold permits for sheds and stands on the disputed territory have united together to resist the alleged authority of the State lessees, and they ex- preas themselves ready to defend their “rights” to the last extremity. Admiral Mohamed Pacha, accompanied by Capt. Effendi, the Turkish Conrul, and the members of bis suite, visited by invitation, yesterday, the Female Normal School at the corner of Elm and Grand streets. The visiters were received by W. H. Wilson, President of the Board of Education: Mr. Hazeltine, Principal of the institution; ex-Recorder Tillou, and number of other gentiemen interested ia the public @okools of the city. The young ladies who are teachers in the various ward schools, to the number of five hundred, were assembled in the large hall of the institution to receive the Admiral and suite. ‘They rose on his entering, and sang © Old Han dred” with great spirit. The exercises consisted of en address by Mr. Tillou, and « number of songs from the young ladies. The Admiral expressed himself highly gratified, and no doubt was so, as it was perhaps the largest collection of young. intelli- gent and pretty girls he had ever seen together at one time. Coroner Gamble held an inquest yesterday upon the body of s young woman, about nineteen years old, named Phebe M. Moss, residing at 115 First avenue, who died from the effects of an sbortion alleged to have been procured at the hands of L. H Lines, a professor of electropathy, doing business at 357 Bowery. The accused was arrested and com mitted to await the action of the Grand Jury. The deceased was a married woman, living with her mother at the above mentioned number, and was reapectably connected. The jury in the case of Pamaza Cox (colored) charged with arson in the third degreee, whose trial occupied the attention of the Court of Sessions on Friday, after an absence of five hours rendered « verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy The evidence, although circumstantial, was strong, and showed that tne defendant pomessed an uncom mon degree of cunning and mental ability. She ef. fected an insurance of $800 on housebold property mot worth $300, hired apartments near her house a few Gays before the fire, to which she removed a large por tion of her good« which were included in the invento Ty of los; pretended that she was South when the fire ocourred, but was proven to be secreted in the city; endeavored to persuade a relation te come from Philadelphia to swear that be saw ber there on the day of the fire, but failing in that indeced a colored prostitute, incarcerated in the Tombs, to swear that she saw her in that city at that time. This convic tion is owing, ina great degree, to the vigilance of Fire Marshal Baker. The prisoner will be sentenced on Monday. John Taylor pleaded guilty to forgery in the fourth degree, and was sent to the Peniten tiary for one year. George Thompson pleaded guilty to attempting to steal a gold watch, and was sent to the Penitentiary for one year. We learn from the report of the City Inspector that there were 430 deaths in the city during thy past week, an increase of 25 as compared with the mortality of the week previous.

It is well understood that so far, the net amount of postages received by the United States has by no means equalled the sum paid for the service. For example, the annual pay to the late Bremen line was $200,000, and the net postages were only about $70,000. The Collins line, which received $858,000, produced to the Post Office only about $238,744. The Havre line was paid $150,000, and paid back in postages about $57,000. The Charleston and Havana line re- ceives $50,000 for its semi-monthly trips, and returns to the Post Office about $6,300. These facts make it perfectly evident that steamships, considered merely in the light of mail carriers, cannot be successful. They do not pay. It is also equally clear that if we wish to have sregu- lar and speedy transmission of our foreign mails, it can only be accomplished by steam. The publio naturally look to the government for assistance; but as yet nothing has been done to place the service on a broad and permanent basis. There are several propositions before Con- gress—one by Mr. Florence, of the House, who has introduced @ bill to establish six ocean post routes: — 1. Between Philadelphia and Southampton. 2. Between New York and Havre. 3. Between New York and Gluckstadt, touch- ing at Plymouth, Havre and Rotterdam. 4. Between New Orleans and Bordeaux, touching st Havana, Bermuda, Fayal and San- tander. 5. Between Norfolk and Nantes, 6. Between Philadelphia and Para. ; Mr. Kennedy, a Senator from Maryland, has also brought in « bill authorizing a line of mail steamers “between the ports of New York, Phi- ladelphia, Baltimoreand Liverpool, touching at Norfolk and Savannah,” the government lend- ing ite credit temporarily te build six iron vee- sels to the extent of two-thirds of their cost. Mr. Whiteley, a member of Congress from Dela- ware, bes introduced asimilar bill inthe House; but the details of these two plans have not yet been placed fully before the public. The projectors of these various lines, how- ever, do not seem to be directed by any great business knowledge or experience. Their schemes are all for the benfit of remote points, rather than central ones. They are attempting to transfer the activity of the commercial heart of the Union to its extremities, and to abandon the great channel of trade, its very aorta, for the mall veins in the fingers and toes Thus. New Orleans and Philadelphia, Savannah and Norfolk are treated as if they were as commercially important as New York. Boston is ignored altogether, the modern Athenians being much occupied with their foreign fish and ice trade, and an ccensional arrival of a Ca- narder, This enterpriving town furnishes us with our asteroids, and brings ue Smyrna figs, and seems to be content, and 0 are we. But that tis an egregious blunder te attempt lines of mail steamers from ports which cagnct fur- nieh an auxiliary trade no reflecting person can doult. A foreign line between New Orleans and France har been tried and sigually failed; ® similar fate bas attended the attempt to emtablich & line between Philadelphia and Liverpool. and it became necewary to transfer ite American terminus to thir city te save it from ruin. It ix downright folly to persist in efforts to maintain lines of thir description There are not pagwngers enough at New Orieaus of any other of the Southern points aamed to eupport « foreign line. ami fr one-half of the year they would be ind posed to veuture landing st ports visited iy the yellow fever.

NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAY 9, 1858, ie a still greater one. Nor do we see what the line of steamers stopping ® long way down the river et a little town, ie to gain by that. It is, however, propoeed by the projector to call at Rotterdam, twenty miles from the sea, on the river Maese, and aa excel- lent point, at which the commerce of the lower Rbine finds an outlet, But why not, thea, make Rotterdam the terminus at once’ There aa American line would at least be without com- petition. This cage illustrates the character of several of the contemplated routes of Messrs. Florence and Kennedy, and of the legislation which bas been proposed at the heel of the pre- sent session of Congress. If that body is in earnest in favor of aiding our commerce, and of competing with the English mail steamers which now carry our East India and South American mails, it will be easy to point out where the aid of government can be most judi- ciously given. To say nothing of our trade with Great Britain and France, it is proper to remember that our imports from China are of the yearly value of ten million and half of dollars, and our direct exports two and a half millions; from Brazil nearly twenty millions, and our exports five; from Chile two. and » half millions, and our exports about three hundred thousand more; from Peru two hundred and eighteen thousand, and our exports twelve hun- dred thousand ; while from the Elbe, comprising the commerce of Hamburg, and that of Den- mark, so far as it is seen at Altona and on the river, the whole amount of our imports is about two and « half millions, and our ex- ports one and a half millions more; and a splendid line of four large steamers is already operating successfully (on the strength of these commercial relations) between New York and Hamburg, passing Gluckstadt. We, then, do not hesitate to pronouace these various small schemes before Congress as superficial and illu- sory in their character, and not at all suited to the wants of the country. They will prove nothing but jobs for speculators at the start, and assuredly fall through for want of strength and support inthe end. No line can succeed without intimate relations with the city of New York, whether for the Atlantic or Pacific ser- vice. Here is the centre of all the great finan- cial and commercial movements of the Western world. Here every part of mercantile Europe is obliged to be represented, if it would share in the production of transatlantic wealth which is going on at such a prodigious rate. From New York our great ocean lines of steamers must take their departure, coast lines and rail- ways bringing their supplies to the general mart. Itisin vain for New Orleans, or Nor- folk, or Philadelphia, or Coney Ieland, or any euch “small deer,” to compete with the me- tropolis of the continent of North America. In the meantime, a letter from the Postmaster General to the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads expresces ar opinion unfavorable to the formation of any new lines whatever, and there is not time to mature them at the present session. Stop the engines and put ont the fires. Tae TuReaTenep Arrest or Jupar Russk11..— The silly newspapers of yesterday published a string of affidavits in relation to the attempted riot at the Academy of Music on Monday week. It will be remembered that Mr. Ullman, the manager of the Academy of Music, emcluded from his theatre an expatriated London penny- a-liner, who was represented to be the critic (oyster house) of a weekly journal. He was excluded on the ground that he was a disorderly person, who offended the audierce—in fact, a nuisance. After several months, the cause of the penny-a-liner was taken up by some New York and California rowdies, who wrote threatening letters to the manager, saying that they would make a riot in his theatre unless the penny-a- liner was admitted. Whereupon, the manager went before the City Judge and made affidavit as to the facts in the case, ard the City Judge went to the Academy with his officers all sworn to preserve the peace. On the arrival of an armed mob of rowdies, the ring-leaders were taken into custody and the riot quelled. The Recorder illegally admits the rowdies to bail, and on the next day they appear before the Court of Sessions, when the prosecutor, Mr. Ullman, failing to appear, they are discharged Now these vagrants, whose names are signed to the affidavits against Judge Russell, were let off too lightly; and, presuming upon the cle- mency extended to them, they had the sublime impudence to induce one of the silly newspapers to publish a bogus despatch purporting to come from Albany, to the effect that the City Judge was to be impeached by the Governor, when the impeaching power is in the hands of the Legislature. That trick exposed, the rowdies have found plisat Police Justice who grants S warrant against the City Judge for simply doing his duty and preventing a riot. It isa curious thing, this arraignment of a magistrate by rowdies, and shows to what a pitch rowdy- jem has riven in this devoted city. The course of the rioters is one of the most stupendous pieces of impudence that can be imagined. There is but one course for the City Judge to pursue. These rowdies, whom no one knows ex- cept through the police records, have assailed a magistrate whore promptitude, purity, ability and integrity are well known. Let him now seud ail the papers to the Grand Jury aud have them indicted for inciting s rict. They may yet find there are laws which they cannot ride over, and Judges whom they cannot bully. Swart Srovt ee Panne It is understood that the ladies in the western part of this State are petitioning the Governor for the acquittal of ire Stout, the convicted murderer of his brother-in-law, Litties The ground of the pe- tition ie that Stout only displayed his affection for bis eleter by keeping her from a husband whom she hated and who ill used her. Of Stout's affection for his sister there can be perbape no question, though be displayed it in #0 whurual way, namely, by eharing her bed. But if every brother whose sister ie unhappily married is allowed to murder his brother-in- law, thir will roon be o pretty bot wortd to live im. It is generally eupposed that at least two out of every five mantiages are at some period or other very unheppy; it will make quite a @ifferevee in the bills of mortality if the unpopu- lar basbands are all to be knocked on the bead ot thir stage of their connubial carcer. We have no doubt, however, but Governor King will lend « friendly ear to the petitions of the Rocbeeter ladies, and will, as he has so often dove alresdy, interpose to defeat the ends of justice and to screen one more murderer from bis righteons doom. To act otherwiee would be inconsistent with his past career; and whatever can be wnid in disparagement of the Governor. it must be admitted that he has exhibited @ con- stancy in folly and imbecility which almost rises to the rublime. Mount Vexwon—Tue Lapis’ Puncuasy— Srecvnarions iw Parmiorma.—Mr. John A. Washington, the present proprietor of Mount Vernon, bas, it appears, made a very good speculation im the sale of the mansion and the tomb of “the father of his country,” and two bundred acres of the surrounding lands, to the patriotic ladies of the United States. For the property indicated they are to pay him the sum of two hundred thousand dollars, or at the rate of @ thousand dollars an acre. As the adjoin- ing estates, of the same quality of soil, would probably not command the average of fifty dollars an acre, nor anything like it, Mr. Wash- ington, it will be seen, bas turned the patriot- ism with which his place is, and will be forever, invested, to a very good account. As the property of plain John Brown, and whoily disconnected from sny name and any incidents of individual greatness or public glory, this Mount Vernon estate aforesaid would be a good bargain to the seller at fifty dollars an acre, But take it at that, and how stands the case !— Nor is this all. Within a year or two past Mr. John A. Washington, as we understand, sold the standing timber of these two hundred acres aforesaid to a epeculator in the city of Washington, for some twelve or fifteen thou- sand dollars. This timber waa thus beught to be manufactured into patriotic walking sticks, and a part of the contract was that Mr. Wash- ington should furnish a certificate of the Mount Vernon origin of every stick thus manufactur- ed, A factory was accordingiy built, and the making of these patriotic walking sticks at twenty-five cents a picce (retail) was commenced. But whether the epeculator has made or lost money by the operation we do not know. It is enough to know that American patriotism gave to the standing timber of Mount Vernon a cash value exceeding that which the whole estate would have commanded as the property of plain John Brown, and that Mr. John A. Washington has made it pay. A few years ago there was a handsome forest of beautiful American indigenous trees close by the tomb of Washington; and there was another pretty belt of fine timber, (including some sturdy oaks, which were old fellows when Captain John Smith made his explorations up the Potomac,) along the declivity of the hill next the river, in front of the mansion; and there was also another pretty grove on the north side of the garden. The patriotic walking stick speculation, for all that we know to the con- trary, has destroyed all these groves—acalamity which come, foolish people would regard as scarcely second to the conversion of the man- sion itself into patriotic picture frames aad fancy workboxes. Those trees, coeval with Washington, once cut down, can never be re- planted; and yet it seems that neither Mr. Everett, nor any one of the patriotic ladies in- terested with him in the rescue of Mount Ver- non, have ever thought of interfering to stop the woodchoppers of that ruthless speculator. The ladies could have bought him off; and the groves which he has destroyed would have been beyond all price as public property, trimmed up and besutified as parks and promenades for visiting pilgrims. The trees that are left, if any, should now be the first consideration of Mr. Everett and the ladies, even if they have tc pay for them the full retail price whioh they would command if converted into walking sticks. For some years past a line of steamboats bas been running from Washington to Mount Ver- non, under a coxtract with Mr. Washington, from which he receives, we believe, some twenty- five cents pet pilgrim. This per centage, together with the canes sold by his niggers stationed at the tomb, hee doubtless proved a pretty good thing, and nobody has any right to complain. Business is business, and if people are willing to pay for their patriotiem, where they can’t be accommodated for nothing, it is all right. Mr. Washington has suffered great inconveniencies from the numerous pilgrims at all seasons of the year to Mount Vernor, end if he has turned their patriotism at last into hard cash, who can cbject? Mount Vernon is cheap at $200,000, a a par- chase for the American people. It would be cheap at $500,000. Our only complaint is, that Mr. Everett and the ladies were too slow in their movements to rescue those groves from that ruthless speculator in Mount Vernon walking sticks. Tue Factiva Orr my Immioration.—Accord- ing to the last report of the Commissioners of Emigration, the total number of immigrants who have arrived at this port since the Ist of January is only 12,487, against 35,497 to same date last year. It is calculated that at this rate the total immigration of the year would fall below 30,000. But it need hardly be said that the heaviest season of immigration has yet to come Immigration from Europe to the United States has been steadily declining for several years. Many obvious reasons are suggested for this, The enormous immigration of the years 1848-'54 was chiefly due to the extraordinary distress at that time prevailing in Ireland and other European countries. It was not a natural flow of population. Want of employment and political discontent drove an unusual number of Irishmen and Germans to seek foreigu homes. The very fact led to the cure of ite cause. The depletion of Ireland raised the value of labor there; and a better system of government quieted potitical disturbance. Similar conse- quences flowed, in Germany, from the thinning out of population there, It was inevitable that, after annual shipments of 150,000 and 200,000 souls to the United States, emigration should decline. More recently particular cawses have como into play. The revulsion which swept over the civilized world last fall was kuown in Europe lg th@ name of the American pa- nic. Very exaggerated accounts of the distress prevailing bere have been industriourly cirou lated throughout many BHaropean countries. Hence, a pretty general apprehension among the claes from which the stream of emigration is supplied that they would not better their condition by coming here. Thie was an error, as we all know; there has been less distress here among the working classes than hae prevailed in England, France or Germany; we have seen those classes suffer more during « severe winter in ordinary times than they did last winter. But the apprehension hae had its effect. We may never have again the enormous in- flux of foreign population which we had four, five, and six years ago: at all events, we can- not expect it until political troubles and want of work again concur to drive labor from Europe. But there is no reason to suppose that the present reduced scale of immigration will continue, Aa long as we have land to ell for a song, and as long aa honest persevering industry will secure to every man a competency for his old age, a Jarge section of the European people must continue, every year, to abandon their native country for this, More Grumsiine or THE Unperrep.—Our fashionable contemporary, Mr. Booby Brooks, of the Fifth avenue, (butcher’s bill seven dollars a month,) notices with commendation the remarks ef a country philosopher on the ‘tal Bon- ner of the Ledger, which commendation also calls for come observations on our part. “Is the everlasting Bonner crazy?” asks the country bumpkin, “to cover eight pages of a newspaper with his advertisements, or are the merchants of New York crazy in not advertising in the columns of that universal journal—the Hraup?” A very pregnant question, truly. According to the facta resulting from the conduct of both parties, Mr. Booby Brooks, of the Fifth avenue, (butoher’s bill seven dollars a month) will find that Bonner turns up right. During the recent panic the merchants who did not advertise in the Heraxp all smashed to pieces, and have been weltering in the slough of debt and despond to this day. During the same terrible revulsion the indom- itable and unquenchable Bonner spread more sail, advertised more largely, increased more in circulation, and made more money than at any former period of his career; and he is now rapidly swelling into the proportions of a millionaire, all through the influence of his tremendous fifty column advertisements in the Hxraup. These are the simple facts of the case, according to the philosophy and practice of this sublunary sphere. Does not our fashionable contemporary of the Fifth avenue, Mr. Booby Brooks, (butch- er’s bill seven dollars a month,) see at once the solution of the important question: who are fit for the lunatic asylum—the immortal Bonner of the everlasting Ledger, or the poor, broken down merchants of New York, who never adver- tise at all? Tavrtow Weep Turning ur at Last.—It seems that Thurlow Weed has at last been spotted in a definite little lobby job. It ap- pears from our latest reports from the Congres- sional Tariff Investigating Committee that Master Weed, as a lobby operator in behalf of the bill of the last Congress, comes in as the recipient of the neat little plum of five thou- sand dollars. This is better than working, out of pure benevolence, for days and weeks in be- half of the Castle Garden emigration establish- ment. But 0 it is; some things pay and some don’t; and upon the whole, with all his late grumblings of empty pockets, we are satisfied that Thurlow, as a lobby man, here, there and everywhere, has taken good care of number one. If we could only have an investigation into all his lobby operations of the last five years we have no doubt that many active busi- ness men would be astonished at the number of irons he has had in the fire. Tar Concress Printive.—We begin to de- epair of any reform in the enormous spoils and plunder system under which the printing of Congress is now conducted. Does Mr. Taylor, who has ferreted out the corruptions of this sys- tem, give up the ship? Is the lobby too strong for him? Let him make the trial. It will never do to give it up so. THE LATEST NEWS.
