“Onomore important measure tho democracy

At no time, according to the opinions and judgment
ofour most prudent and judicious men, has thoro
been so much freedom from fictitious credit, and a
spirit of speculation, or business generally, in all its
branches, stood upon so Bound and wholosomo a
basis as at present.
The Ripe market is very dull, but firm. Tho

Egypt.—A telegraphic dispatch, via Paris, states
that tho affair of tho inhcritanco of Mehemct Ali
has been arranged in Egypt between the Viceroy
and tho Porto. Tho former is to pay tho heirs
twenty-three millions francs.
Gen. Harrison’s Nephews.—We understand
there is no nephew of tho late President Harrison,
named Harrison, now living; and that but four
grand-nephews, ono of whom (Henry) was his
private Secretary during his brief Presidential ca
reer, and afterwards Register of a U. S. Land
Office. Neither of theso gentlemen was the per
son, supposed to bo insano found in Baltimore a few
weeks ago.
Montreal Sufferers.—A tolographic dispatch
from Washington to tho Now-York Herald states
that immediately aftor receiving intelligence of tho
groat fire at Montreal, on tho 11th inst., Mr. George
Sumner addressed a letter to President Fillmore,
suggesting that a largo number of tents belonging to
tho military stores of the United States, should bo
sent to Montreal for tho use of those who had boon
suddenly rendered houseless; and cited, os a preco
dent, tho fact whon tho awful conflagration occur
red at Hamburg in 1842, by which two thousand
houses were destroyed, tho King of Prussia, on tho
recommendation of'Baron Humboldt, sent a great
number of tents from Berlin, and tho charity was
found most timoly. Early on tho Monday morn
ing, in tho absonce of tho Secretary of War, for tho
forenoon, at Alexandria, the President laid tho let
ter before General Scott, who promptly reported in
favor of its recommendation, with tho addition of a
largo quantity of blankets and ono hundred thousand
dollars in money. Notwithstanding this recom
mendation of Gen. Scott, tho War department lias
determined that no aid can be furnished to tho suf
ferers by the Montreal fire without tho intervention
of Congress.
Bad System of Banking.—Tho Now-York
Timet is publishing tho statements of tho New-
York City Banks as fast as thoy como to hand.—
Tho statements ore up to tho 26th of Juno, and
nineteen of tho forty city banks show $2,952,000
of specie to $22,049,000 of circulation or deposits—
or about 131 of immediato liabilities for ono dollar
of specie. In March last, tho samo banks
$2,227,000 of specie to 818,155,000 of circulation
nnd deposits, or about 121 of immediato liabilities
to ono of specie—showing an increase of liabilities
over specie moans in threo months of 11 por cent,
This steady expansion of tho banks, Bays tho Phila
delphia ledger, indicates very conclusively a dis
position to borrow money in preference to working
for it. Notwithstanding tho immense amount of
coin coming into the country, it will bo Boon, that
the banks run ahead of it in their liabilities to tho
public. Tho position of 812 or $13 of liabilities
for ono of immediate means, is a dangerous
for tho public, and by no moans safo for tho banks.
The liabilities of ono of tho banks, we notice,
26 to 1; of another 24 to 1, and nearly all of them
ovcr8 tol. Tho rule among bankers for safo
banking used to bo about 3 to 1.
Speakers op the House op Representatives.—
From the first session of Congress to tho present
time, there have been twenty-ono Speakers of tho
Houso of Representatives, besides Speakers pro
tern., chosen for ono to four days, during tho tem
porary illness of tho incumbent in offico. Henry
Clay was chosen successively, by each Congress,
from tho 12th to tho 16th inclusive, and also by tho
18th at tho commencement of tho first session. But
on his second election ho resigned in the second
session, on accepting his appointment as a Com
missioner for negotiating with Great Britain, and
on tho 5th he resigned before tho commencement
of the second or short session; so that his actual
term of service was littlo over ten years. Andrew
Stevenson, of Virginia, was chosen four times suc
cessively, at tho commencement of tho 20th and
each succeeding Congress to tho 23d. Nathaniel
Macon, of North Carolina, wob chosen three times
by successive Congresses; Joseph B. Vamum, of
Massachusetts, Frederick A. Muhlonberg, Jona
than Dayton, John W. Taylor and James K.
Polk, twico each; and Theodore Sedgwick and
Robert C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts, Jonathan
Trumbull, of Connecticut, Langdon Chevcs, of
South Carolina, Philip P. Barbour, Robert M. T.
Hunter and John W. Jones, of Virginia, John
of Tennessee, John Whito, of Kentucky,
John W. Davis, of Indiana, and Howell Cobb, of
Georgia, one each. Linn Boyd, of Kentucky, is
tho present Speaker, in his first term of sorvico.
[COMtaUNICATBD.3
Metsrt. Editors.'—I observe in your paper of
yostorday a Communication, in \vhfch it is chargod,
on tho authority of two abolition pnpors In Now-
Hampshiro, that Gen. Pierce some months ago
uttered sontiments unfriondly to tho fugitive alavo
law. Permit me to say, that tho Washington
Union, on tho authority of Gon. Pierce’s friends,
distinctly and positively pronounces tho ehargoto bo
falso and slanderous. Tho chargo nppoared in two
of tho most uncompromising anti-slavery papors in
Now England—papers too, violently opposed to
Gon. Pierce. Did ho not dofont Atwood, tho regu
larly nominated candidate of tho Democratic party
of Now-Hampehiro for Governor, on account of his
froesoilism i and has ho not been pursuod nnd de
nounced by tho whole froesoil nnd abolition pack
of tho North, tho Now-York Tribune inoiudod, for
openly taking tho Bold for tho Compromiso, and
urging upon his pooplo tho necessity and tho duty
offaithfully oxocuting tho act for tho rocovory of
fugitjvo slaves ? That must bo a weak causo which
requires iSoutAsm men to roly upon abolitionists
for ammunition with which to war upon General
Pierce. Tho man who can support Gon. Scott
should bo tho last to objoct to Gon. Pierce, oven if
ho wore a Frccsoilcr.
Admitting that tho sjiooch attributed to General
Pierce is not a forgery of his abolition enemies,
your correspondent should not attempt to imposo
upon tho publie by garbling it. Ho states distinctly
in tho speech ascribed to him, that theprovisioa of
the constitution, in regard to the rendition of Ju-
gitive slaves, is a compact entered into by our
/atftere.and the fugitive law must and ought to
be enforced.
Is not Gen. Scott in favor of tho annexation of
Canada ? and was ho not opposed to tho acquisi
tion of territory from Moxico? Has ho not de
clared himself in favor of tho emancipation ol
slavery in tho Southern States'? A WHIG.
The Telegraphic Expenses of the Press.
Few individuals unconnected with tho press of this
country, (says tho Charleston Courier,) are aware
of tho vast expenses entailed on proprietors of
nowspapere by tho introduction of tho tolcgraph as
a medium of conveying nows, and as it may possi
bly provo interesting to tho uninitiatod, wo con-
donsofrom an elaborate and carefully prepared
statement in tho Now York Herald of Fridny, tho
following particulars as to tho cost in this particu
lar in that city.
Tho Now York Associated Press is composed of
tho seven principal morning papers, namely, tho
Courier tf Enquirer, Journal of Commerce, Ex
press, Tribune, Sun, Tinea and Herald. Tills
association retains in its sorvico competent and re
liable correspondents in London, Liverpool, South
ampton, Havre, and at other important points in
Europe, as well as in oach of tho prominont cities
and chief towns throughout tho United States and
British American possessions.
The association has also a tolographic nows room
in Now York, who|ly detached, and amply furnish
ed with roportors, copyists, &c.—tho wholo under
the superintendence of Mr. D. H. Craig, tt gentle
man whoso long experience in tho business, energy
of character, and devotion to tho interests of the
press, eminently qualify him for tho pcrploxing and
arduous duties assigned him. To this room all
tho telegraphic dispatches of tho association are
directed, and there thoy are copied out in mani
fold for tho abovo namod journals, and also re
transmitted, by tolograph, to all parts of tho coun
try.
Mr. Craig, at tho requost of tho Herald, has pre
pared a statement of tho tolegrapliio goncral nows
expenses of this association from Sept. 27,1851, to
March 27,1852—asorics of twenty-six weekr,from
which wo loarn that tho total amount exponded in

that is, that “ ho will tread no step backward."—
Mr. Weusteu will certainly succeed Mr. Law

quite possible ho may assent to tho change. Wo

ho will accept it, but as to the fact wo do not bo

as yet, mado up his mind to a change.

1851.
Mrs. Clay is now seventy-one years of ago, and
although her health is foeblo, has tho appoaranco of
a lady of fifty. Sho has had eleven children, only
four of whom live. Tho body of H. Clay, Jr., kill
ed at Buena Vista, was interred in tho family vault
at Lexington. Eliza Clay died aged 16, in 1824,
on her way to Washington. A married daughter
nt New-Orleansdiod nlso at tho samo timo. Thos,
Wythe Clay, the oldest son nnd ngod fifty, is
sano, nnd his recovery hopeless. Ho has a gcnoral
melancholy, and is occasionally violent. Thomas
Hart Clay, aged forty-two, is tho proprietor of
Mansfield, a lino cetato near Lexington, and culti
vates hemp. Jno. B. Clay, nged thirty, owns
largo cstato near St. Louis, Mo., whoro ho has
largo dairy, and is engaged extensively in rearing
stock. John Clay, tho youngest, is aged twonty-
eight. lie manages tho farm, and devotes a por
tion or his timo to tho profession of tho law. Ho
resembles his father more thau any of tho other
sons. His features are similar, his luiir has tho
samo dry, sandy appoaranco, and hangs about his
features in tho samo careless manner.
Mrs. Clay stood by tho coffin of her docoaBod
husband for n few moments only before his burial
at Ashland. Sho is quito ill, and shares dooply in
tho gcnoral gloom occasioned by tho death of hor
long loved partnor.
Tho remains of Mr. Clay will not rest perma
nently in tho vault whoro thoy wore placed, but
will bo removed to tho Clay family lot in tho same
cemetery, as soon as preparations havo been mado
by tho pcoplo of Lexington to lay tho foundation of
tho monument to his momory. This event will

Total.
Tho Herald, In addition to its sharoin tho abovo,
which amounted to $3,812.29, paid exclusively for
its own uso telegraphic tolls to tho amount of
$1,820.37—making a grand total oi $5,632.62 paid
for tolographic dispatches by one journal in tho
short spaco of six months, being at tho rate of
$11,265.24 per annum.
Tho remainder of tho articlo wo give in tho Her
alds own words:
“But our telegraphic expenses do not continuo
the same—they are daily increasing, and will pro
bably amount to fifteen to eighteen thousand dol
lars for the year ending with next September.—
This largo annual expense, it should bo borno in
mind, is a now item in tho expenditure of a nows-
pnper establishment—introduced by tho introduction
of tho tclograpb, and forced upon tho nowspaper
proprietor bv tho spirit of tho ngo. Wo do not
grumble. To havo the uttermost parts of tho world
within calling distanco is worth pnying for. In
deed. wo hopo to seo tho day, and will do our best
to bring it about, when tho wholo of tho Now-
York Herald—its eight pages of forty-eight col
umns—with tho exception of the advertisements,
editoriuls, nnd city nows, will bo filled with dcs-
mtches received tho night previous by telegraph.—
3ur correspondents everywhere will then, as now
in Washington, Albany, &c., be instructed to drop
their letters into the telegraph offices, instead of tho
post offices.
“It may not bo out of placo to stato hore, that tho
Herald, in addition to this enormous outsido ex
penditure maintains, in connection with its asso-
citcs, a ship-news department, consisting of iour
boats, with the force of six men, under tho super
intendence of Captain Hall, ono of tho most effi
cient and experienced ship-nows collectors in tho
country. Tho cost of this department is from
$125 to $150 per week. Itsprovinco is to board
all steamers and sailing vessels arriving at this port,
in the outer burbor when practicable, for tho pur
pose of procuring whatever nows from foreign ports
may bo obtained in this way, as well os of report
ing tho arrivals of tho vessels themselves. Tho
English and Continental steamers are all boarded
in this way; and tho nows thus obtained is almost
always in tho hands of tho compositor, and fro-
5 |ucntiy under the eyes of our readers, long bo-
oro tho vessels bringing it are moored in their
docks.
A Ship Sunk at Sea by a Whale.—A corres
pondent furnishes the London News with tho fol
lowing narrative of a very extraordinary occur
rence:
“On Tuesday, the English brig Crusader arrived
at Cowes, from St. Jago do Cuba, and landed the
captain and crow of tho French ship Pauline, ho
Chevalier, master. It appears from tho statement
of tho captain, that on tho 17th of last month,whilst
on thoirjbassago from Porto Rico, in longitude 40.10
west of Paris, and latitude 40.30 north, with a cargo
of sugar, bound to Havre, at about 11 o’clock, a.m„
whilst under easy sail, the vessel, a now ship oi 400
tons, well built and sound, was struck by a mon
strous whalo on tho bow, and tho dnmngo was so
great that the ship filled almost immediately.
“Finding that nothtng could bo dono to save her,
tho captain and crew, consisting of ton men, after
stowing away a bag of biscuit nnd a littlo wntor,
thoy embarked, and m fifteen minutes aftor tho ves
sel was struck she sunk. For three days and nights
they wore tossing about, not being ablo to reach
any ship, but on tho fourth day thoy were providen
tially seen by tho Crusader, nnd rescuod from their
perillous situation. Tho captain speaks in tho high
est terms of tho kindness and liberallity with which
they were treated by all on board tho Crusader.—
Nono of thoso rescued havo preserved anything, nnd
as thoy are destitute of necessaries, tho 1* ronen con
sul, W. Stuart Day. Esq., has shown hfa usual kind
ness and promptituao in providing for their necessi
ties."
Fashionable Suicide.—The Richmond Republi
can, in the courso of a scnsiblo articlo on Fashion,
gives theso valuablo hints to tho ladies:
Within a year or two past, corsets have been par
tially abandoned, but a Bubstituto equally destruc
tive to health lias been adonted. In old times,
ladies used to wear just onougn petticoats to kocp
them comfortablo, and those were kept in thoir
places by shoulder straps. But now, it’s no uncom
mon thing to see a weakly, delicato littlo creature
perambulating tho streets with six or eight skirts—
somo of them thick and heavy enough for horse
blankets—tied tightly around her waist, thereby
heating tho spino and creating a pressure upon tho
abdomen, that if constantly applied to tho back of
a mule, would kill him as doud as Julius Caisar in
less than n month. Advise hor against theso things,
and you are answered, “it’s fashionable to dress so,
and ono had as well bo out of tho world ns out oi
tho fashion.” Fashion, tho douco. It’s fashiona
ble for somo fools to kill thcmsolvcs outright, and
be dono with it. Wo therefore adviso thoso ladles
who are willing to dlo for fashion, to adopt that
course, instead of pursuing anothor equally cortain,
but much slower—tho only difference being, thnt
where thoy determine to commit suicido by impro
per dressing, tho doctors havo tho benefit of their
dcc!ino,ancftho anguish and anxiety of frionds am
relations are kept alive for months, whilo in tho
latter caso tho blow falls heavily at first, but natu
rally wears off and la ovontually forgotten.
“Fuss and Feathers."—This phraso, which is
now likely to becomo of frequent uso, is come of a
good sourco, as will be seen by tho following, from
a Kentucky paper:
Tho epithet “ Fuss and Feathers," was first ap
plied to Scott at Lundy's Lano by tho British. Tho
tall hero went into tho fight with a very largo
plumo, and was so active and earnest in hurrying
on uud encouraging his men—first at ono tbon
away at anothor—that tho enemy thought ho was a
littlo fussy, Scott, with bis tall form, largo plumo
and dashing gallantry, was a conspicuous mark for
tho bullets of tho British. Ho hod two horses killbt
under him, was shot in tho side, afterwards in tho
shoulder, and finally had Ills favorlto feathers sho
off. After that tho British called him “Fuss aud
reamers.”
Religious Character of Mr. Olay.—Theodore
Freltoghuyson, who served with Mr. Clay many
years in the Senate, and who was upon tho samo
ticket with him in 1844, boars tho following testi
mony to tho religious character of his friend and
associato. It is from his own prlvnto correspond
ence:
I havo thought that a few extracts from a friond-
ly correspondence evincing this sorious nnd devout
tompor, would bo grateful to you to hoar. Thoy
show how universalis tho need of a Gospol hopo
for tho noblest and tho humblest-that howover hu
man distinctions exist, and usefully, yot boforo God
there is but ono lovol; and thoy show also how far
more gloriously true greatness booms upon us from
tho foot of tho Cross, ponitontially Booking ponco
through tho blood of Him that ouco died upon it for
oursako.
In 1836, after tho severe domestic affliction in tho
doath of n married daughter, ho wroto to n friend:
"I thank you lor tho deep intorost you so kindly
toko in my spiritual welfare. I should bo most
happy to havo full confidonconnd nssurnneo on that
sorious subjoct. It 1b ono on which, if I had given
no ovidonco to tho world of its having engaged my
serious thoughts, I lmvo long and constantly reflect
ed with tho greatest solioitudo, and I inaulgo tho
hono that I snail ultimately find penco. My lato
sad affliction has taught mo an awful lesson and
impressed mo with a solemn conviction of tho uttor
vanity of all earthly things.”
Again, in 1844, ho writes:
“You havo, my dear friend,however, kindly sug
gested tho truest of all consolation, in tno resources
of our holy religion. I hnvo long boon persuaded
of that solemn truth; nor havo I boon ontiroly neg
lectful of oxortions to secure myself its benefit. I
wish I could add that I felt ontiro confidence that
thoso oxortions havo boon crowned with success.
But thoy shall not bo intermitted; und I trust thnt
by diligent searching, I shall find faith in our Lord
Jesus, that solace which no earthly honors or pos
sessions can givo.”
In 1846, he again writes:
“1 nm greatly obliged, my donr friend, by tho
kind intorost you tuko in my spiritual welfare. 1
fool much moro comfortable than I once did on that
subject. I hopo nnd boliovo thnt l havo improved in
my religious toolings, and inthoporformnneo of my
roliiiiouS duties. I attend tho Episcopal Churcn
regularly, and with satisfaction, but I lmvo not yet
becomo a member of it. Tills I hopo to do. I
must own, howover, with rogrot, that 1 do not yot
fool that absolute confidoncoln my future salvation
which somo Christians profess to have in theirs."
Not long aftor ho lost his son. Col. Clay, in ono
of tho Mexican battles with Gen. Taylor. God
seems to have blessed tills most nffllctivo bereave
ment in clearing his way to tho truth as it is in
Jesus. For, together with tho littlo children of his
beloved Bon, ho was baptised nnd himself rocoived
into tho communion of tho church.
Whon, after theso ovents, a friend referred to his
having como out on tho sido of tho Saviour, nnd
confessed Him boforo men, ho iorvcntly replied:
"Yea, Sir, and it has been to mo a source of inex
pressible consolation.”
And during his Into protracted illness, tho calm
composure of his contemplations, nnd tho peaceful
resignation of his mind, in prospoct of his approach
ing dissolution, cheer our meats with tho^rust that
his Savior was near with tho support of His graco,
nnd ministored unto him with tno ovorlosting con
solations of His gospel.
Mr. Webster at Nauant.—Tho Boston corre
spondent of tho Now-York Journal of Commerce
who saw Mr. Webster nt Nnhnnt, thus writes:
“ His conversation was brilliant nnd lonmod, and
it was good to drink in his words of wisdom ns ho
discoursed upon tho oriental mind, (that was tho
topic,) tho Biblo,Cicero" DoNntum Doorum,” that
ho hnd lately road—being tho chief text books re
ferred to. Said Mr. Webster, if I were to livo my
lifo over again, I would study tho oriontal minu
much moro than I have. Tho wholo conversation
was ono of tho most interesting kind, nnd gavo evi
dence that Secretary Webster is still in possession
of all his gigantic powers of mind, nnd is still
bringing forth ripe fruit in old ago. His accom
plished nndprincess-liko wife is in excellent honlth,
and as we first saw them, was arm in arm with hor
noblo husband—examining Bomo oi his own cows,
(a favorito relaxation of his) upon Mr. Paigo’i
grounds. It was truly a domestio scono Worthy of
a painter.
Queen Victoria.—Personal Appearance.—A la
dy who corresponds with tho National Intelligen
cer, from London, writes as follows of Queen Vic
toria ;
I havo not seen her Majesty yot. but my frionds
mot hor early this morning at tho Zoological Gar
dena. Sho was with Princo Albort, tho Trinco of
Prussin and two of her children. My frionds
thought hor ugly, dowdy; walks badly, with a lit
tlo limp, gostering about nt every body, nnd drag
ging ono of tho children along. Sho was attired in
a blue lawn, scalloped flounces, bluo and whito
barego shawl, and black gaiter boote !
