The judgement of the Court ol Inquiry in the. Sewer* mutiny ease is before the Secretary ot the Navy. Its tenor has nut been divulged, but there is no doubt that it is an honorable acquit tal. Previous to the receipt of the decision of the Court, however, the Secretary of the Navy, ‘ at. the request of Commander Mackenzie, had ordered a Court Marlial upon the case. Capt. Mackenzie has asked a jury of his peers— a tri bunal which well understands the nature of the ease, and is qualified to weigh the evidence up on which its merits depend. A civil tribunal ■ annot he competentto try such a question. They could not judge of the bearing of the facts, and would be necessarily ignorant of many things which ought to enter into their consideration. Time will thus be afforded for the popular ex citement, naturally produced by the unheard of Itagedy, to subside; and the final verdict of the Court Martial will be universally acquiesced in. The Committee ot Foreign Relations will soon recommend a mission to China and a liber al pi<(vision for its expenses. Some person of high consideration and intelligence will be se lected lor it. We have, as yet, no nomination for the va cant mission to France. No one has been named for it—but I will venture a gn that Mr. Wise will have it. I think it probable that, af ter the close ot the present session, Mr. Wise will announce his determination to retire from Congress; and that the President will then ap point him Ambassador Plenipotentiary and Minister Extraordinary to France. I would not be surprised if Mr. Cushing should be sent to China. He is eminently well quali fied lor the service. Rumor also assigns a for eign mission to Mr. Prottit, and another to Mr. W. W. Irwin Thus, the President’s interests will be well “guarded' abroad whatever may happen at home. Awfvi. Fall of Real Estate..—The spa cious marble building at the corner of Fulton and Pearl streets, built by the venerable Holt out of the profits of millions ot sixpenny plates of soup, and now known as the (J. S. Hotel, was sold yesterday for 8100,000— only one bid. It cost about 8200,000 or more. A building in Fulton street, and another in Ann street, both near Broadway, have both sold recently for what they would have bruugM iu 1 836. For the present, the price of real estate in New York is most awfully reduced'—probably as low in proportion as the land, hogs, butter and beef afejmthetar West.— X Y. Herald. Nomination or Mn.

Important I.)e< i.si<»n in Eanrrl pi <. r.— A decision lately made by Judge Betts, would seem almost like an aovenisement to distressed men in luuupv to cuine over and take the Lene titoioui bankrupt a< t. Moritz Kernicker and Hirsch Pinner, were partners at i’addf thorn, in Germany, under the >lyle us hernicker & Pin net. They got very large amounts on their bills, drawn on one 'l’obiasbf London, who was uiteiiy worthless, and then came to tlie United States—one of them, Moritz Kernicker, under the a.-sumed name of Mark Moritz. It is to be understood that these men were both residents of Germany during the whole qf the time that they did business under lhe style of Kernicker &- Pinner, and that their stock, property, debtors and creditor* were also there. They remained a sutticient time in New York to be considered as residents, and then applied for lhe benefit ot’ the Bankrupt Ad. Mr. Charles Edwards, as counsel for and on behalf* ot* Mr. Abraham Scbaatihausen, a wealthy banker in Germany, opposed the parties, and objected to their taking lhe benefitoi the. act, because they were both re sidents out of America during the whole time they carried on business under the style of Ker nicker & Pinner, because they carried on no business with lhe United Slates at anv time, while all their creditors and all their debtors were in Europe. In short, he maintained that persons, ibreign ers in every sense of (he Word, could not. bv coming to America, be considered a-* failing within the spirit and benefits of the Bankrupt Act. Judge Betts, however, looking on those applicants as residents, allowed them io become bankrupts. Thus, it will be seen, that Euro peans who know of America only by name, who never had debtor, creditor, relative, friend or propertj r here, can leave (heir country for the United Slates, and after remaining here until they become residents, (say about thirty days,) can apply for and obtain the benefits of an Act intended, as one might suppose, not for all Eu rope. bur for parties legitimately dealing to and from or in America, and then laugh at their creditors, who can no longer reach them ?—.V. Y. Jour, of Cow. Uhf.ap Pleasure. —The New York Meaning Post relates the lollowing story of a man in that city who spends his leisure moments in inquir ing intp the condition ofthe poor, tor rhe pur pose, as far as lies in his power, of relieving their distresses: lhe other night,* in passing through the Wash ington Parade Ground, he was accosted by a woman with a child iu her arms, and asked lor ahus. He could not resist the appeal; yet not approving of indiscriminate money giving, he thought that he might safely try an experiment. Taking a 2o rem pieccuiit ol his pocket, he gave it to her, and made a* though he were going a way. Instead of doing so, he turned and watch ed the movements of the beggar He saw her go, with rapid steps, into a bake-shop hard by, when she returned with an armful of bread. He followed her through dark streets and by ways, until she suddenly descended into a dark and dirty cellar. He kneeled down upon lhe cold pavement, that he might see, if possible, the inmates of-so wretched an apartment. By lhe light of a few embers that were raked from the ashes ofthe hearth, he discovered there sev eral pale, miserable looking children, who seem ed too feeble to rise at the approach ofthe woman whom he took to be their mother. He saw her gradually unfold from her apron the bread which she had just procured—the children ran eager ly towards it, tore it into pieces, and fell to work devouring it, with the appetites of young wolves. Having appeased the gnawings of hiui ger. they .tamed to the mother with faces beam ing with joy, clasped her around lhe neck and body, and almost smothered her with kisses. Our friend, who is somewhat tender-hearted, was quite overcome bv the scene, and went a way to his hume.

Bott’s proposition to im peach the President, remarks that it “was by the House—for the most part by tiem ocratic votes. From this (says the Globe) it will be seen they are resolved that the President shall have no cause to charge them with ingrat itude. They will square accounts with him.” In other words, the Globe declares that the Loco tocos r. loeil the proposition to impeach the Pre sident, not because in their opinion, he does not deserve impeachment, but because they owed a debt of gratitude to lhe President for his vetoes of the prominent Whig measures, which they avail ed memselvesofth is occasion to repay, by screen ing him froth trial and punishment.' The Mad isonian stigmatizes this as “a dastardly senti ment,” he might with more propriety, have char acterized it as a profligate avowal. ' We are giv en to nndeisiand, however, that'“accounts are now squared" between the President and his Lo cofoco allies, to secure whose confidence and support he lias inatie such large and costly sac rifice.-. To thi : cause may be ascribed, we sup pose tlte acrimonious assaultsrecentlymade up on the Piv sidctii, by leading Locofocos in the LLi’jse—particularly by Mr. McKeon, ol'New York, who, a lew days ago, enumerated a long catalogue of his political sins, which he declar ed constituted an impassajjle barrier between the Locofocos and himself. The President already begins tosee that, in throwing himself upon his opponents, he has leaned on a broken reed, which instead ol sustaining, w ill pierce him to the heart; or ifhe does not yet perceive it, the day is not distant when he will read his hopeless destiny in a nation’s scorn.— Lynchburg Virginian.

The Captain refused to pay any port charges, in defiance of lite au thorities, xvho had no means of enforcing a com pliance withtheirregulatious. The supercargo of the vessel was a Spaniard. The Governor told him he knew him to be a slaver, and order ed him to leave the settlement. The vessel soon got under way and stood up the coast, but in ten or fifteen days returned, and in twelve hours took in a cargo of 250 slavesand put to sea. Decline or mt Dn aMa.—The New York Au rora attributes the bad business which is now done by the theatrical establishments in the country to the cheapness of books at the present rime.

The next leastiob jcctionable mode is by internal excises; theijon t r those contribute to the support ofGoverntienl who purchase the article* and e.nniriodilieion which the excise duties tfrelevre-J. The most oilioOs and hateful, an ! the liost opj i cssive niotle is by capitation an’ddirect taxa tion- The two preceding modes are volunfiiy ; the latter is remipulsory.

I luring the oxistence ofllte C’ontedeiated Government lhe State? used the [Kjwer to lew impost duties with so little skill, an.i .*-0 little of system, that they derived bin slight revenue ironi that sonrr-e, as a single 'act will at once illustrate.—s“ln North Carolim it was enacted that a merchant imjimting goods' by land to life value of five pounds should paya duty for life suite: but a planter might im|'.ort goods to tlie value of twenty pounds, though he imported them for sale or merchandize, without paying any duty.” When the Constitution was adopted tlledebts es the Confederated Government were recog nized and transferred to lhe Constitutional Gov ernment; and the debts of the States were left in their original position. The btates awoke to tire realization of their true situation of laving, as many of them had. large outstanding debt against them, witlioiitthemeansof jayrngthem but bv systems of ditei t. taxation of their citi zens. Hr support of' tlie position in rrideh I maintained in one-of my tiirmr r letters, that the general Government had a discrelioiiary power to assume i>r not assume the debts of the States, I will illustrate by resolution 1 , which were pass ed by the Legislature of Virginia: ani which resolutions will at once contradict and over throw the position taken by some of tire oppo nents of the plan which I propose, who maintain that Cc.ugress was t oufld to m ; ..inc the debt; of the State in 1790. because they saylhey were debt ' for lhedefenca of the country; and there fore the Government was bound to aesniig them. Those, who take this position omit to olverve that their own position in relation to the facts of the case, destroy thcirconclusion; for ifthe Gov ernment was bound to pay the debts of the States, and thedebts of the State- contracted during the war were included in that article of the Consti tution which deciares that the debts against the Confederacy shall be good against! the General Government, wherefore the necessity of passing a law to us.:ai«e these debts of thtfStales? A law of Congress is <if less dignity than the Constitution, and ifthe Government was bound to j,ay those debts, the act of assumption was useless. The law for assuming the State debts was passed on the Ith of Au'gust, 1790: and on the 16th of December, 1790, the Legislature of Virginia pas, c.l a long remonstrance against the law, objecting to many of its details, pre dicting immensity of evils from it, declaring her own ability to pay her own debt, and that “he had marie provision'tor it—that in the de bate upon tiie adoption ot the CoUsli jiti.m, ii war not naimtained that the General Govern-, inent should assume the debts ofthe Slates, and concluded as follows: -But (hislnjudicious Act (the law of 1780) not only deserves the censure of the General Assembly,. because it is not warranted by the Constitution of the United States, Ini' because it is repugnant to an express provision, of that Consiitmion. This provision is, “that all debts contracted, and engagements entered into, before the adoption of the Consti tution, shall be as valid against the United states, under this Constitution, as under the Confederation,’xvhich amounts to a Constitu tional ratification ofthe contracts respecting the State debts in the situotim in which, thorn existed undrr the Con federation; and resorting to that standard, there can be no doubt that, in the pre sent question, the rights of States, as contract ing parties with the United Stales, mustbecon "sitfcred as sacred.” This contemporaneous renioustrafico illus trate-, first, that the position taken in my former letter is correct; that the debts of the States that, were assumed, were in the position under lhe Constitution that they were under the Con federation; and that the General Government was ink hotuid. to assume them by the Constitu tion, because they were not valid against the ' C'oni'cdeiacy. And they prove secondly, that I those .xyho maintain lhai Congress was bound to assume those debts specifically, and cannot assume debts now, have not examined the sub ject, or if they have, their opinions are as much al war with the facts of the case, as.with the plainest rules of Constitutional construction. II ls true that it was then urged by a few that, tlie Government was bound -by the Constitution to assume the debts ofthe States. But, the cha racter of the State debts, I repeat, did not affect the question ol yyirez, although it did affect the question of expediency... Under .the special gram ol'general discretionary powers, Congress thought it exjiedient to assume the debts. Those general j-owets. still exist in lhe Constitution, an I lhe qarne discretion still abides in Congress. Wheie-Co those derive the power under the Constitution to advocate the relief extended to Ml-. Genet:.! Harrison, and that claimed for Gen. Jackson, in relation to the fine imposed ujT on him ifn.it in the general discretionary pow ers of Consress: ? And if those claims, or eith er of there, (.-nd I have voted for both.) merit the favor of Congress, will not the measure which I propose merit eighteen million times tliccqnsi'leration of (he i re tc.-crixlhes of a suf fering and bankrupt nalion? But the same Legislature ot Virginia became reconciled to the Law, and. With great avidity caused the debts of the State to be audited and assumed by flic Cii-liOtal Goretinjient.

States, who took shelter then Ihmt resyonsibility behind the Constitution, and great affectation,of.conscience.. The credit ofthe Government was'then ata low state, and it had an immense- debt of its own to provide for. The. population ofthe nation was less’than four mil lions—the whole commerce on which "duties were levied was but about §'2O.(XX),()oOiii value, and flu? t!et revenues ofthe hat-ton were less than two millions. And - till the indebted Slates de manded that the.Govetnment should use its powers, or surrender them back to the Stales, and it became a question of ceeessiiui or as sumption. The debts «ere assumed, and the Govern nent had to provide ways and means to meet liabilities of nearly one hundred million of dollars, with its t hen limited resources as I haveshoxm. All the predictions of the opponents of the measure wire falsified, and the expe< iations of its friends were more than, dualized. Confidence was at once established, business revived, in dustry prospeted, and the scanty treasury was filled w ithout oppression to any; and the debt melted away gradually beneath this generous and I'tdightenel policy like the winter snows, into small fertili-zittg and incieafing stream*, which irrigate the fields and meadows of the •farmer, and turn in their onward course, the useful spindle and cunning inachinci v which ■ girds- employment t.i the theehanic, rani wealth and power and independence to the nation. The narhe:; of the, opjkir.enti of lhe measure are fast fading from the memory of the people, whilst lli.ose who established the Goreuiment, '’and Its early policy, become brighter with time, and commemorated in history.' The statesmen of that day regained the Gov ernment as but a trust, and that the States and tiie people had a right to demand that it should exercise iispod-ers lor the benefit qf the States and a t,a?t-oppressed people.-—Such was lhe doc trine of Slate Rights then, aud its hostility to the construction of those who claimed that all the vast powiers and resources of the States .should be absodied in lhe Federal Government to lie dormant, when the States and the people wcresuficrilig,.cu'to be used only to feed and support a swarqi of Federal officers, and timid uiemlwis. of Congress, whilst ruin or distress threatens every other, man in the nation.

This bond was required in addition to the preceding one. The amount of the defalcation ol Mr. Hoyt, as late collector of the port of New York, ap pears, from the adjustment of his accounts by du* Auditor and Comptroller of the Treasury, to.be 8226,297 21. Os this amount, it appears that #IOX2-17 21 accrued previous to the execu tion of. tin* bond of J4tli December, 1839, anil suit has been instituted in the United Slate* cir cuit court lot the southern district of New Y’ork . gainst Mr. Hoyt and lhe sureties to his second . horul, dated 30th November, 1838. Fol the re iiiainder, :43t6,018 07, suit has been instituted sak-e cvuii.ngaitii.l Ab JJoyi aal t'w cntWies on the same bond, 'and also the siirtty on the bond of Uttli December, 1839. These proceedings were commenced on the 20th Feh luniyand 9th April, 1841, and the suits have been continued from term 10-terin, at the instance ol the defendants. The district attorney, in his . report of proceedings at November term, 1812. which eti'led on the I9lh tilt., states that '‘these suits were put offfbrfoe term, upon thedcfetid am's application, and an affidavit of Jesse Hoyt, setting forth that, since access had been allowed him to papers in the custom-house, his chief del k had been constantly at Philadelphia, as a witness on the part of the U. States in cer tain seizure cases.” Ju addition to the suits above .mentioned, mea sures have been taken to cause the distributive share of Jesse Hovl. as late collector, of the pro ceeds of certain goods seized by hi*direction at New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, for violations of the revenue laws, and recently condemned as forfeited, to be applied in pay ment of his debt to the United States. What this share will amount to it i*t impossible yet to ascertain, the marshal 1 not having completed lhe sales. It will, however, be considerable, the marshal having already reported sales to the amount of near $100.(NN). 3’he right so to apply this f und is controverted hv persons claim ing it. under a deed ot trust for'iiic indemnity of his sureties on his official bonds; but as the ob ject of the trust is indirectly to accomplish the same thing, it is supposed that the application ot - this fund to the payment of the debt due to the Government will ultimately be effected.

A bill for making real estate a legal tender, ha* been under discu-si. nin the Legislature of Ohio. A correspondent ofthe Cleveland Herald says of it: “ Tn its present shape it requires the judgment creditor to select whether he will have his exe cution against goods and chattels, if there Iw? any, dr against lands. If he issue against land* the sherilf is to levy on enough, appraised by arbitrators chosen bj r the parties and sheriff, to pay the debt and costs, and, put the creditor in possession of the same, and the creditor io raise money enough to pay all the coAts. Thus it compels the creditor to take land at the apprais al of men to pay a cash debt, and rill worst, compels him to raise money to the amount ol the co*ts, and j»ay it over "and take lands for pay. Thi* is indeed admirable legislation, and il lustrates most beautifully the sincerity of the professions of tiie Locofoco majority in the Leg islature of Ohio for a constitutional, currency. But while these things are going on among the .Ltrcofbco legislators of Columbus, another branch ofthe’“indiyisibledemocracy,” the “De mocratic Association of Cincinnati ” has come out nut only against a national paper currency in any form, but against all Banks. They de clare themselves opposed to any paper money factory in the Stale c f Ohio, “either by charter er! corporations or by individual shin-plaster*. : —They proclaim that tlie exchanges of the country ate furnished bv the industry ofthe country, and lhe commerce based upon that in dustry, and believing that there is gold and sil ver enough in the country to do the bit-incss ol the country, they go for the abolishment of each bank as its charter expires.

He alluded to the recent, treaty leiarive tu the North Eastern Ixmiidary, our title to which was not near ,so clear as it is to tiie Oregon territory. Hence to his mind, there < uuld ben-.i possible fear as to the result a negotiation. He shewed that in reference to that boundaiy question, Great Britain bad held out to us the olive branch o.f peace, and was it, he asked, right, by the passage of Uris bill to send them a darning swot d hi return t Would such copduct be deemed magnanimous in Ute eyes oi the world? He ncxi alluded to the ex pense of carrying the bill into effect,and asked, how, in the present state oftulairs the.money could be raised. We had a. Bonkrupt Treasu rv, and an inoperative head ofthe Croveninient from the fact that neither of the two great polit ical parties would vote any money fur such pur pose*.

A letter wiitei who fin nishes fellers to lhe Aladisonian, iroin New York—and who is believed to be a subordinate to the Post Office of that city, the same who wrote the cele bfafe'd letter to Mr. AVickljlle—in his last epirtte thus iittnks out the proffer course for the Tyler ites to adupi, and also indulges in a lunge at Mr. Calhoun:. ... “The friends of the Executive are rapidly increasing at the North. To insure the com plete anil ti Himphant success of the Adminis tration, and the re-eleelion of the President we need nothing but compact organization. “Or ganization, immediate organization,” should be the watch-word of the Tyler party. Every man of the party should be taught that the tune has arrived when ltd is expected to do his duly.— There should be no lagging in the ranks, and it should lie understood that any man who is not in body and in soul thefriend'of the administra tion, is its opponent, and as such should be treated. “Mr. Calhoun, 1 am informed, has consent ed to visit New York, immediately after the 4th of March. Whilst we shall be happy to treat him with all possible respect and hospitali ty, and do justice to his merits, it is doubted if hi.-: fortunes will be advanced by a northeni pil grimage.” It would be a jneclous sight, indeed, to see the Tylerites, after organization, ranged into “ranks,” with Mr. Tyler at tlieir head! Fal staft, it alive, would not march through Wash ington with them, that’s certain.— Balt. Pat. Comets and Women.-—Some one has said, playfully but rather severely.—Comets, d»ul>t less answer some wise and good purpose in the creation; so do women. Comets are incompre hensible, beautiful, eccentric; so are women Comets shine, with peculiar splendor, hut at night appear most brilliant; so do women.—Comets Confound thu most learned, when they attempt to arc.*) tain their nature; so do women Comets equ ally excite the admiration of die philosopher alxl’the clown; so does woman.—Comets ami women, therefore are closely analagous-. but lhe nature of each being inscrutable, all that re mains for us to do isj to view with admiration thebne; and to love almost to adoration the other.
