EXTRAORDINARY RIOT.
Of all the riola that have ever taken place in this
“land of freodnm," the "feminine one,” that recently
took place at Pittsbu-g, beats them all. There the fac-
lnr y B*rl* “turned out” for tho purpoao of enforcing the
“ten hour system,” and such antics as were cut, were
never aeon or hearJ of before. They isetne l, moat un
fortunately too, to havo forgotten whore their strength
>»y instead of tongue lashing the manufacturers*
and the authorities of the city, until thoy lashed them
into compliance with thoir wishes, tite girls actually
flourished sticks (not broom-sticks, but regular .hills-
labs) and bonnets at a furious rate, and otherwise alarm
ed tho peaceable citizens of Pittsburg, without, we
fesr, doing themselves any good. No doubt though,
that thoir -'turn out” for tho ”ten hour system,” was
justifiable. We arc only sorry they did resort to, un.
handsome ways, in order to effect their end,
The poor

tafely assert, that the candidates fur Door Keepers, ' ‘•flourishing sticks and shaking thoir bonnets, would
have effected more good for themselves than they have
done. That mayor they could have followed all over
town, and have scolded even him into being their cham
pion. Two or three good sound, caudleized lectures,
from tho tongues of two or three black or blue eyed
beauties, would havo converted, not only the Mayor, but
half of Pittsburg, into being their champion, Ten
hours uut of the twenty.four for any female to labor is
hard work enough—and he who does not think so, may
he have tied to him—hut no!—may he never realise
that truthful assertion of tho Poet, that “Woman was
Heaven’s last, lest gift to man.” even if a riot in Pitta-
burg has been headed by the much imposed upon Fac
tory Girls.
Messengers, Secretary, Clerk, Solicitors, Judges, and
Slate House officers, will not bo quite as numerous as
lliey have previously been ; but of this we know noth
ing, and cannot therefore speak advisedly. All that wo
promise to our friends abroad, is, that, if they will visit
us, all that we can do to make them contented ami hap.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON TIIE STATE RAIL
ROAD.
We copy the following from the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel; but while doing so, will state that we
have been informed that neither Mr. Garnett nor Mr.
Stockton havo been as seriously injured, as the state
ment below represents. Mr. Garnett’s leg being only
fractured below the hip, and Mr. Stookton having es
caped with severe flesh wounds. The conductor, Mr-
Higlismith, had his foot cut off—but they were all do
ing tvell, having immediately received surgical alien,
dance.
Distressing Railroad Accident We arc pained
to learn that a most distressing accident occurred on
Tuesday night,above Marietta, on the State road, by
which C. F. M. Garnett, the State Engineer, had ono
of his thighs broken in two places, his assistant, Mr.
Stockton, had both legs broken and horribly mangled,
and the conductor, whose name wo did not learn, had
one leg entirely cut off. This is the account we have
had of this dreadful affair, and it has reached us so di
rect, that we fear it is not exaggerated.
The accident occurred, wo learn, in this way. Tho
Engine left the depot with a load of iron to be trans
port to the point at which they were laying down the
rail, leaving a car laden with iron at the point from
which they started, the wheels of which during their
absence became unscotched and it being down grade the
car moved off a considerable distance up the road. Tbo
Engine having deposited the iron, was returning in the
night, pushing the cars (upon which were Messrs. Gar-
null, S'ockton and the conductor) ahead, and as the
Engiucer was unconscious of danger, ran into the car
which had escaped from the depot.
THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.
This Convention is exciting great interest, particu
larly in the Statea of South Carolina, Georgia, and Ten.
ncssec. It is to assemble on the 12th November next
at Memphis. Delegations have been sent from Charles,
ton, Savannah, and Augusta, composed of some of the
most talented citizens of each place, as well as their
most practical business men. The object of the
Convention is to consider of measures deeply affecting
the interests of the Western. South Western, and
Southern Status. One of its leading objects will be,
to call tiic attention of Congress to the improvement of
the Western Navigable Waters, as well as to a con
nection between the Atlantic Ports—Savannah and
Charleston—with the great West. The latter object
is of sufficient importance itself, to command tho at
tention of our citizens—and we are glad to see that
Georgia will be ably repreaented there.
THE WORLD’S CONVENTION.
This Convention assembled in New York aome time
since to enact wonders. It proposed to “reform the
world," but from its deliberations, and the parts played
by ita leading members, we fear lhat reform will never
be the result of its assemblage. That great “philan-
thropisl," Robert Owen, must have lost confidence in
hie schemes, when he saw the ••motley herd" whom he
had boon mainly instrumental in bringing together
from distant places. Like those, who, in ancient times,
attempted to build a certain tower, they spoke langua
ges which were not understood—all has been confu-
sion. One Mr. Hays has been quite a prominent
member, and has undoubtedly exercised vast influence
—for lie made his brother reformers havo confidence in
bie schemes when they acknowledged that they under
stood him uot. Witness the following resolution :
“Resolved, That tho thanks of this Convention ho
presented to Mr. Hays for ins clear and lucid plan of
benefitting mankind ; and Oust he be requested to explain
what it all means."
Wo have heard of ono Mr. Hays who is colebrated
far being instrumental in benefitting and reforming
mankind—wo mean Mr. High Constable Hays of New
lerk. Can lie be (lie Conveutinner whose "lucidplan"

TENNESSEE, AND HER POOR SCHOOL
FUND!
We have been most forcibly impressed with the fol
lowing, which wo find in the Nashville Whig, of tho
16th inat. VVo extract from the report of Mr. Nichol.
President of tho Bank of Tennessee to the Legislature
efihat Slate, uuw iu session. In relation to tho pour
school lund, Mr. Nichol, says.
’‘The school fund now in the bank, for the safe cus.
l0 dy of which the State stands pledged, amounts to
eight hundred and forty seven thousand, throe hundred
*nd eighty nine dollars. This sacred fund could uot
ei niy humble opinion find so soruro sn investment as in
the bonds of the State, issued fur internal improvement
purpose,, and it would at the present current value
command inure than one million of dollars in these
bonds, yielding an annual interest of more than fifty
housand dollars, for the education of the youth of the
“"Hairy. That portion of iho hank’s capital derived
''out the sale of the six per cent bonds, amounting to one
inulion of dollars would, I presume, bo sufficient to re-

NATIVE AMERICANISM,
Wo havo heretofore written* of the mischievous ton.
dencies of this, the last political ism, by which the
great Whig Party, with Mr. Clay at its head, was re
cently defeated. We now take pleasure in publishing
the following, which shows what Henry Clay himself
thinks of the Native American Party. Read it, Whigs
every where, and take counsel from it.
Opinion of Mr, Clay.—The Louisville Journal,
epeaking of Mr. Clay's opinion, says:
“We carefully weigh our words when we assert, as
we now do, that he regards the formation of a third par-
tyupon tho‘ono idea’ of Native Americanism as ill-judg-
ed, mischievous, and suicidal. He does not believe
that tho Abolition party, or any other party founded on
a single idea, can ever accomplish any good for the
country: We may add, that he is fully of opinion that,
but for the Native American movement, the Whigs would
have been victorious tn the Presidential election of last
fall"
We have too before ua an account of a Native meet
ing held in the District of Moyamensing, Penn, on a
recent occasion. There, the late Democratic triumph
in Baltimore was claimed as a Native American victory t
The meeting was a large one, and was addressed by a
Democratic orator, Gen. Horatio Hubbcll, who denoun
cedviolontly every thing but Native Americanism and
its principles. Thus “wags the world"! To-day,tho
Whigs of the whole Union, are made to Buffer and bear
defeat, because of the alliance of some Whigs with
Native Americanism—and hardly havo they been de
feated, ere loco foco orators are hand and glove with
those whom but so lately they so violently abused: —
Well may Mr. Clay say that “the idea of a third party
upon the “one idea” of Native Americanism” is "ill-
judged, mischievous and suicidal,"

„ The rumor of tbo Cabinet changes become* etroeger
(vP** of late. It is positively asserted that Mr.Buchanan la
about to leave the Slate Department for the Judgeship;
that Mr. Walker will succeed him; lhat Mr. Mason
will succ.eod Mr. Waiker, and that Mr. Barton, the
present Sulieilur of the the Treasury, will be appointed
Attorney General. 1 am inclined to think that there
•a some foundation for this rumor. But I am quite
certain that Mr. Walknr will not leave the Treasury
Department until the fate of hie ayitem of finance is de
cided. it is impossible that, pledged sa lie is to use
all hit influenenand efforts, as Secretary of the Treasu
ry, for the ‘ reduction of the tariff to the revenue stand
ard,” he can leave Ins post before his object shall be
accomplished or shall have failed after every exertion.
Wore lie to leave his post now it would placo him in a
doubtful situation, but ono that has a parallel in Ilia
sudden abandonment of the financial department by
Mr* Gallatin,at the declaration of the war ol 1812.—
Mr. Gallatin left tho Department, according to Mr.
Clay, for tho purpose of saving Ilia reputation as a finan
cier. Ho had succeeded well when there was nothing
lobe done. Uut when tho day of trial came Mr. Galla
tin was too well awaro of its dfficulty and hazard to
slick by his poBt, and he exchanged t, accordiug to Mr.
Clay, for a Russian mission, founded on the humbug
of a Russian mediation, which, aa Mr. Clay explained,
was got up by Mr. Gallatin himself. Mr. Walker
stands in a position of as much responsibility as Mr.
Gallatin in 181.2. I(e h s a task before him of as much
difficulty, and be cannot shrink from it.
Who shall be the next Speaker of the Houso is now
a question of some interest. Mr. Charles J Ingersoll,
Mr. Hopkins, ol Virginia ; Mr. R. M. T. Hunter, of
Virginia : and Mr. John W. Davis, of Indiana, are the
prominent candidates.
The House will not give this station to Virginal,
you may roly upon that. The question is between Mr.
Davis ami Mr. Ingersoll—betweon the West and the
North. It is a matter of some importance to tbe conn-
try. Tho nation has somo feeling in the matter..—
They wish to aeo in that poeitiun a nun prominent in
talent and public character. No one can hesitate up on
the question as respects the two individuals. At llie
same time that Mr. Davis is highly respectable, I would
prefer him to Mr. Ingersoll as Chairman of the Com
mittee of the Whole, but as Speaker Mr. Ingersoll is
the* man.
New York, Oct. 21.
Fires.—At half past 6 o'clock last evening a Hire
broke out in the cellar of No. 11, Spruce street, occu
pied by Benj. Fenner, as a Liquor and porter cellar.
Some operation wasgoingon when the liquor took fire,
and immediately the whole building was in flames.
One man was veiy badly burned in the first explosion of
tbe fire. The building was occupied on the main floor
by Bell & Isaacson, as an auction store. Their bool<8
were saved, but some three thousand dollars worth of
furniture was destroyed. The chambers were occupied
by Newell & Clapp, publishers: Mr, Eustis, and M.r.
Hewitt, also publishers. No. 13 Spruce street, occu
pied on the first floor by the Saugerliea paper manu
facturing Co., Stevenson's composition manufactory, and
Henry Kyepps, picture frame gilder, was drenched with
water, and the properly very much damaged. The
buildings in Frankfort street in the rear of the fire,
were considerably injured. Several poor families were
driven hastily fromihcir homes. The building No. 11
was owned by Thompson Price, Esq. The Star Police
were very useful, as they have been on all similar oc
casions since their organization. Most of the property
destroyed was uninsured.
The ship chandlery establishment No. 91 West at.
took fire on Sunday morning about five o'clock and its
contents were much injured.
While the bells were ringing for church, a fire broke
out in a building used for iho purpose of refining gold
and silver, and also for gold beating, in tho rear of 184
Laurens street. Tbe building of brick, was entirely
burnt out.

The contest in this State was for a member of Con.

(CORKESPOSDENCK or THE CHARLESTON COURIER.]
New York, Oct. 21.
The nows by the Hibernia yesterday morning creat-
ed considerable excitement. Tbe anxioly to hear far-
ther of the stale of the crops in Europe was very great.
A quilt panic seized some of the speculators hi Flour
after the foreign news had been digested, and the mar.
ket opening at $5 8I.J a 75, fell rapidly to $5 G2£ a 5
50, under the sales of those who had bought last week
on speculation. Indeed, near all the large transactions
since the market was at $5 75, have been speculative,
and the rise has been produced by these operations.
At @0 50 a shipper came in yesterday and look 5,000
bbls. Geuuessee for Liverpool. Sales of 2000 bbls.
were also made, on long sellers option, at a still lower
price. The market I judge closes with somo firmness
at 85 50 a 5 02J—holders asking tho higher rate,
The market for ether descripnons is unsettled. On
Saturday afiernuon a sale of 1000 bbls of Genesee was
made al $5 871
The Cotton market is at a stand undor the foreign
news, and I hear of no sales worth of report. The
feeling is of course downward, and a further decline
must be submitted to by holders before transactions to
any extent can be made.
Tucre is no news, and no other effect of the foreign
advices to notice.
A fire broke out just below tho Tribune office Iasi
night, and for a while it was supposed that the Tribune
Buildings must go, they were finally Baved, by great
exertions.
The Accident on the State Road.—The Advocate
of Wednesday tlio22d inst., published at Marietta, has
the following account of the accident on the State road:
Accident on the Stale Hoad.—We regret that we havo
been called upon to notice a serious accident which has
taken place on the W. &. A. Railroad. The first trip
of the Passenger Tram, (on 21st inst.,) from Marietta
to within a few miles of the Hightower, (ho cars came
in collision with a freight car standing upon the road,
and being dark there was no time afforded to avoid the
effects. We regret to state that Mr. T. H. Highsmith,
the conductor, had his leg so badly mangled thatampu.
tation was deemed necessary. Mr. Garnett, the Chief
Engineer, we learn, had a thigh bone broken. There
were no lives lost, and no other serious misfortune with
which we have been made acquainted.
1 ■ .r t
At Washington.—The letter of our occasional cor
respondent from Washington, was yesterday charged
with some matters of deep import, rather alluded to
than defined. In conversation with a friend, who left
the District about the time our correspondent wrote, we
received the impression that the gossip which we pub-
lished, had been heard by others, and that the delermi.
nation of the Cabinet is to present to Congress, very
strong views of the rights of this country to all that it
has claimed of Oregon, and to present those views with
little or none of the softening light, which deptivns
thoir picture of too much breadth, and which allows
objects to stand forward, without offending the eye.
There will bo a Locoforo majority in both Houses of
Congress ; but we have had occasion to notice, for a
long lime, that there ia agrowing dislike for war, and
a consequent shrinking from positions that looked like
provocation. The very talking of war, in National
Councils, is a disturbance of lhat repose and confi
dence which go to promote general prosperity. Hence
wo inter, we hope, at least, and hope strongly, that the
tone of the President, or anyone or two of his special
adherents in Congress, will be rebuked by the majority
and that the true interests of lh>- country will bo’con-
suited, by continuing negotiation upon honorable
grounds, rather than by defeating all peaceful attempts
with offensive and offending gasconade. We would
not waive a single right of our nation loan inch of soil,
even though that soil be Oregon; but we would not
have tHe whole protective interests of trie country dis
turbed by a vicious inodo of making that assertion, and
the current of business checked, to satisfy the party
views of certain individuals. — Philadelphia Gazelle.
Tennessee.—In the election for Governor, Foster
received 51.583 voles and Brown 53,447; majority for
Brown 1884. At the Presidential election. Clay rc.

Tim Royal Steamship Hibernia, was telegraphed
from the station of the Merchant’s Exchange till! (Hun.
day) morning, at 45 miuuMs past A o'c'ock, at whirl)
time she was 20milea east ol the lower atation,and 30
mile* from Boston.
She arrived ut Iter wharf in East Boston, at 9J o',
clock, bringing seven days Inter news from Europe, and
making her passage iu fifteen days. She sailed from
Liverpool on the 4ih inst.
We make our extracts chiefly from tho European
Times:
Commercial.—-The Cotton market, which was dull
this day week, at the sailing of llic Great Britain, Hti I
continues in an inactive stalo. Therpintations on most
descriptions, except Sea Islands, have receded an ^<1
per lb., and at the lime we write, the market is heavy,
with a downward tendency. The absorbing feeling in
railway shares may have partially contributed to this,
and the rising price of provisions, with the approach of
winter, is also to be taken into account. The Commit,
lee of Brokers have declared the price for the present
week to be—Bowed, 4Jd.; Mobile, 4|d.; and Orleans,
6d.
FRANCE.
Paris, Sept 30.—Much allenlion has been paid in
this capital, both by the press and the public, to the re-
cent arrivals Irom ihe United States with respect to
Mexico. The probability of war or no war lias been
discussed ; but all journals and nil parties are unani
mous in thinking lhat it would be the very height ol
folly for Mexico to attempt hostilities.
The tale of the Tunes, of London, of the finding of
slave shackles in the wreck of the noble American ves
sel, tho Missouri, lias been received in this city with
varied feelings of contempt, disbelief, and indignation.
All our journals, without a single exception, designate
it as a falsehood, many characterise it aa a most infa.
moua calumny, and some think it a lie so monstrously
stupid as not to merit the holier of an answer.
Washington Irving’s arrival at Bordeaux, from Ma
drid, was announced some days ago, and it was said
that he was entrusted with a special inisainn to the Go
vernment of France, Up to this time, however, he
has not arrived in Psria. Mr. King, tho American
Minister in this country has returned to Paris, and re.
sumed his duties, after having travelled for a few weeks
in Switzerland and Italy,
The news from Algiers is of Ihe usual character—
continual outbreaks of the natives in ihe provinces sub
jected to France, vengeance of the French authorities,
aud threatened attacks frutn Abd-el ICader.
Pennsylvania Election—The Pennsylvania*
thus briefly sums up the probable result of the late
election for members of the Slate Legislature in
Pennsylvania :
“The Senate of this 8lnte is composed of lliirlty,
thren members, and will staod Democrats eighteen,
Whigs fifteen. Democratic majority three.
“ i’ho House of Represeutativea is composed of
one hundred members. The Democrats, we think
liavo sixty or sixty-five of them. The residue
Whig, uiid Anti masons—Nntivcsnone; although
perhaps, all are natives of Ihe good old Keystone,”
The Giiiiat Britain.—Thu New York Ilur
aid ol Sunday says: Tho monster steamer was
yesterday raised on the floating dock ot the foot of
Market stiect. At ubuni II o’clock she enleretl
the dock In a very gruceful style, and in a few
minutes the powerful umcliincry wn» in operation
which is used for the purpose of raising ships
Very slowly she rove, mid about 3 o’clock she was
ruised ns high us it was intended for her to ho ut
the time. She is now neurly six feet in the wnter,
mid on Monday will bo raised entirely out.
The workmen are now employed in applying
iwo new funs to her propeller. It will be quite a
feather in the cap of the Dock Company if every
tiling passes off well—to say that the grout Grout
Britain was repaired in a New York Dock.
Thu Grout Britain, alter tier return to Englund,
lays up lor such a Iterations and improvements us
she requires. Sue will leave Liverpool, on her re-
turn to Now York in February.
Galveston dates to the lUlli instant have been receiv
ed at New Orleans.
The brig Galveston arrived there on Iho 6th, in 16
days from New York, with arms and ammunition be
longing to the U. S. Government,
It is slated that General Taylor arrested several Mex
icans as spies, and although lie had strong evidence
against them.yet ho permitted them to go at large, un
der the impression that their reports of the condition of
1118 camp would do no haim.
An Expert Executioner—The Boston Journal re.
ccntly told a pretty tall siory of Sir Everard Digby, who
was executed in England fora political offence. After
decapitation,the executioner took up ihe head by tbo
hair, and selling ir down on die block, exclaimed,
“iliero is the head of a traitor.” The head instantly
replied, “dial is a lie.”
This story reminds us of another, relating to the se-
Icctonof an executioner by the Duy of Algiers, some
fifty years since. It was the custom to make Ihe se
lections from the prisoners of war, and tho office was
much sought as tbe person selected thus obtained his
liberty. Oil the occasion referred to there were threo
candidates, a Frenchman, an Englishman, and an Amer
ican. The tr al of skill was to be ntide hi die public
square nl Algiers. Three convicls were brought out
ami placed on the Hand, their necks aud shoulders
made bam, and a red diread drawn about the neck of
each lo mark die place of decapitation. The French,
man advanced first, and with a single stroke of the
sword, severed die head of his man so near die line, a*
to call forth tbe loudest plaudits from die delighted
Algerines. The Englishman next came forward, and
with inimitable grace decapitated bis subject.—Tho
acclamations w ere loud and long from every side, and
it seemed doubtful, lo wInch of Ihe two the prizo would
be awarded, lor dial it would be lo one or tho other of
thorn did not seem lo admit of a question. The Amer
ican, however, was entitled to a trial, and took bis po-
itinn. When all things were ready, he gave a whisk
ol die sword, so sudden and so swift that it was hardly
observed, aud the convict exclaimed' “All ! you have
missed me.” "Have I ?” said he. “spit then.” Lean

Extracts of Letters rereived in this City, dated,
Liverpool. Friday Evening, Oci. 3, 1845.—
Without any additional information bearing upon our
Cotton Market, we have lost ground this week. The
demand has at no moment been more lhan moderate,
and occasionally we have been dull and flat. Under
tills stale of things American descriptions are jd. lower,
and every other sort, including Egyptians, Brazils, Su-
rats, &.c. are easier to purchase. This slight retro
grade movement is therefore to be attributed lo the
gradual pressure arising from the weigh: of our
stoelt.
LjOO American have been taken on speculation, and
200 for export.
Sales or the Week.—4700 Upland 34d. a 49d.;

Liverpool, Friday Evening, Oct 3, 1845.
A general dullness has pervaded Ihe market all the
week,.and the Tiade have purchased sparingly, and Spe
culators only to a moderate extent.
American Cottons are generally an Jd. per lb. lower,
and in many instances Jd., and in a few on the best
qualilies |d. por lb. Iu Brazils and Egyptians there is
no perceptible change, but they are dull of sale. A
few of the latter, very tine, sold at auction, this morning
at from 12d. to 12£d. per lb.
Surats of common quality are an |d, per lb. lower.
In Sea Islands no change to notice.
Speculatorii havo taken 1500 bales of American, and
exporters 200 American. Forwarded into the Country
during the month unsold, 230 American, 200 Pernains,
and 40 Egyptian.
The sales to-day arc abnnt 4,000 bags of all kinds.
LivehP 'Ol. Oct. 3d, 1815,—We had a continuance
of lino weather during the early part of the month of
September, when ihe harvest operations made consid
erable progress and about three fourths of the crop
were then secured. The apprehensions which had
been previously entertained, and business in al! iis
branches felt the beneficial effect. Within the last
fortnight we have a return of very ungcmal and wet
weather, which injures that part of the crop which still
remains out; and as il has been discovered that the
yield of this year's wheat is but very light, there lias
been considerable speculation in Wheat and Corn, All
this, added to the excitement of the Corn market, du
ring whiclitlio price of Wheat advanced Is. per bushel,
aud Flour 4s. per barrel. Since then there lias been
less activity and prices arc barely maintained, because
tho weather has become again rather more settled.
Liverpool, 3rd. Oct. 1845.—In consequence of the
more favornltle report of tho Cotton crop received from
tires United Slates, by tlip last steamer, our market since
the departure of the "Great Britain,” 27th ul'o., lias
been extremely Hal and prices ol all descriptions of
American are |d per lb. lower. The sales for the
week ending this evening only reach 23,930 hales, of
which 1,500 arc on speculation. The American de
scriptions consist of 4,700 Uplands at 3| a 4j; fair 4j;
10,200 Orleans al 3J a 6; fair 5d; 4,500 Alabaman and
Mobiles at 3j a 5; and 200 Sea Islands at 11 a 20d
per lb. The to'al stock of Cotton in ibis port is 04,7000
bales against 901.000 last year. The stock of Ameri
can is 726.000 bales, or 62,000 more than at the same
period last season.
The annoxed loiter, published in the Philadelphia
U. S. Gazcttr, contains statements which will bo read
with concern. It is under date of
Washington, Oct 18. 1845.
I hear a good dual of gossip, much more than I think
it worth while lo write to you, and some which may be
interesting to you and your readers —not that I can
vouch fur any Cabinet matters, but can assure you that
wliat I lull you 1 bear from, what I call, good authori
ty.
Y’ou remember about the time Mr. McLanc was
starting lor England, the Globe took occasion to say
that he waa not to be a special Minister, hut was lo
take Mr. Everett’s place. Tins, then, led to the ioqui
ry, “where would be tlie place of negotiation between
the British aud American agents 1” At Washington.
“Why, then, should Mr. McLanc be in London, if lie
was to be identified with the negotiation at Washing
ton i” It would be better, it is said, for him ; his in
fluence with the British Minister in London would be
more effective, than with the British negotiator at
Washington. So much for the umlcrlaking ; now for
the progress. Mr, McLano has mure than once asked
permission lo return. Why 1 Among other reasons,
because he is not entrusted with information, nor
moved by instructions relative to tbo most important
part of Ins mission ; and it is thought that means have
been used, ur arc io be used, to induce him tn leave
Loudon. Tim means bclnng lo the administration.—
Wliat are they ! Mr. Buchanan is lor peace, and lie is
opposed to tbe reduction of duties, especially those on
iron. The President and Mr. Walker are lor turmoil,
and fora reduction of duties. If Mr. Buchanan can be
disposed of, sent to the Hupreme Bench, he will give
no trouble to the Cabinet in its arrangement of the
lariff, and he will not bo in the way to force out of the
annual message of the President, any thing which may
savor of a little hostility to England relative lo Oregon.
That is not all. It is hoped lhat soon after the opening
of Congress, somo administration member will propose
a series of resolutions which shall smack pretty si rung
ly|nf a determination on Ihe part of this Government tn
insist on its utmost claims in Oregon territory, and to
insist on them ill such terms, and with such fervor, as
shall (the resolutions having been adopted,) close the
negotiation.
If any body should say (ihe Union for example) tliai
these events will not happen; 1 can only reply nous ter
rons with regard to future, but le'est rrai with regard
to the past. I have not a doubt that what [ say of the
intention of this administration is strictly correct;
that Mr. McLano lias written home, as Isay ; that Mr.
Buchanan lias been seriously urged to retire lo I In*
Bench; that bad feelings relative to Oregon are desired,
and ihe means I have stated really purposed. But it
may be that something w.ll transpire to prevent such
results, but no thanks lo “tho powers that be."
A Princely Hebrew.—From PrnRUu tv* hear
of the (fault), at llie njje of seventy-seven, of the
Hebrew merchant, Muurice Zedukuucr—u mut!
whose rille to a record in pngas like ours consists,
not in the princely fortune which wan til© work of
his own honorable toil, but the nohfa use which lie
made of it. Fifty years ago, M. Zutfaknuer camn
penniless, to Prugue ; and he litis left behind him
seven millions of fl-iritis—£700.000. In his life*
time he devoted the larger part of nis immense
revenues to the encouragement of science, art and
national industry—<nnd to the relief of the indigent,
without distinction of religion or race ; and, by his
will, he has bequeathed throe millions of flu.
Tins—£300.000—among the benevolent insiitti.
lions of all the principul cities of Bohemia. He
as followed lo the cemetery of his nation by men
I* ull ranks and beliofs—the poor, of course—the
civil uud military authorities of thecupilul—all its
distinguished men—and, it is very pleasant to add,
many clergymen of various Christian sects. Ev.
ery where the spirit is pussing into dishonor which
would once have “spii upon the Jewish gaberdine'*
““ trampled on the grave c-f a man like this.—Athe-
naeam.
Tbe Councils of Philadelphia assembled on Tuosdny,
and elected Col. 8wift Mayor of that city for tbe eir
suing year, none of the candidates at the recent elec*
tioo having received a majority of elf the votes.
A Lr»cofoco correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce oilers some very cool advice In tho
Whigs. He says that they have the capital, the
talent, and enterprise of the country, and they con
trol the public taste in morula, and in literature
uud in science; and they preside over the institu
lions of education and benevolence; and all this,
he thinks, should content them without dabbling iu
politics. Tbe government of tbo country and tbe
administration of tbo laws, he thinks, should beta,
ken from those men who, accordiug to bis own ac.
count are the best qualified for public employment,
and should be abandoned by general consent to
those who are least fit for it.—Prov. Journal.
Great Arlesian Well.—A practical and scien
tific gentleman offerii, for $30,000, to sink un Ar.

of gallons of the very best water cun be thrown

Perpetual Mo ion.—Tbe editor of the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser, lias inspected a machine
on exhibition at the Mansion House in that city,
which be thinks is the true perpetual motion, if
there he »uch a thing in mechanical philosophy. ‘If
it is not a perpetual motion,* says the editor, ‘then
our knowledge of mechanics and the power of
