Death of George Glen, Esq,
Wo rogrot to record the sudden death in this city,
yesterday, of George Glen, Esq. Ho underwent
.great fatigue at the beginning of the last week in
removing his books, records, &c., from bis former
office in tho Court House, to tho now Custom House,
and went homo with a chill and fever yesterday
week, since which time ho has been confined to his
houao. Tho deceased was one of our oldest and
most highly respected citizens. At the time of his
death, ho was clerk of the Supremo Court of tho
United States, and of the 6th Circuit Court District
©f Georgia, which positions he has occupied for
■ long years with undoubted ability and credit. He
, : Tlio New Savannah Custom Houso. ; ttj
This cdifico, formally qpenod yesterday, prints
ono of tho few fino specimens of massivo ana tho-
r6ughly firo-proof masonry to bo found in tho Stato
of Georgia.
“From turret to fonndaUon stone,”?
tho building has improssod upon it tho marks of
permanonco and durability. Tho substructions
alone, i. o. that which is bolowthe pavoment or
boso courso of granite, contain 120,000 bricks, laid
in 600 barrels of cement. It is fire-proof in tho
strictest sense, for even tho widow frames aro of
cast iron, and tho'shutters aro oi wrought iron.—
Somo of tho doors, fumlturo, and wooden fixtures
of tho rooms might bum, but this would do no
harm, nor would it in tho least endanger tho safoty
of tho structure.
Tho architectural oficct of tho Custom IIouso is
imposing and noblo. Its ground plan is cruciform
approaching to tho Grocian Cross, or, in othor
words, tho arms of tho cross intersect each othor in
tho middlo of tho edifice, though thoy aro not of
oqual length. Tho spectator who views tho build
ing from tho tcrrnco cost of tho Exchnngo will soo
its greatest length or tho longest arm of tho cross,
which is ono hundred and ton foct fronting on tho
Bay, with a width on Bull-street, and on tho oppo
site end noar tho Railroad Bank, of fifty-two feet;
while tho entire height, from tho pavement to tho
ridgo of tho roof, is fifty-four feet. Tho shortest
arm extending from north to south, is ninety foot in
length. Tho spectator remaining whero wo havo
placed him, will scotho northom portion of it in
tho shapo of a beautiful Corinthian portico, of six
fluted columns, with capitals nearly aftor the stylo
of those of tho Templo of tho Winds in Groeco.
Thcso columns aro thirty foet highland three feet
in diomoter at tho baso. Thoy sustain an entabla
ture, of which the frioze is unornamonted, and a
podimont. Tho portico has a front of rathor more
than fifty feet on tho Bay; it projects twenty feet
beyond tho north front of tho longest arm just no
ticed, and is approached by an ample flight of
sovonteen steps, forty-five feet wide in tho clear
between tho parapets on either side. Tho othe pro
jection completing tho short arm of the cross, is
immediately in roar of tho portico, and opposite to
it, on Bay-lano. It projects thirtoen foot and six
inches boyond the roar front of the long arm. At
all the angles of the building, antra or pilasters aro
inserted, and they also appoar in tho cell, behind
oach column of tho portico.
Tho general division of the edifice, according to
stories, is os follows:
First.—Tho basement having a ceiling about
nine feet high. This floor is dovoted to tho City
Post Olfico and tho Appraiser’s department. In
addition to tho other means of communication bo-
tween different portions of this basement, tho ma
sonry under the portico is piercod by an open corri
dor of spacious dimensions.
Second.—'Tho first or principal floor, which
devoted exclusively to Custom Houso purposes.
It contains tho public office of tho Collector, of
which tho length is forty-six feet by a breadth of
thirty-six feet and nine inches. Also two smaller
and private offices for the Collector and his Depu
ty, and offices for tho Surveyor, Naval officer, In
spector, and U. S. Marshal. The height of coiling
of these rooms is fourtocn feet. Thoy are entered
from a vestibule thirty feet square, which in its turn
is entered from the portico by three superb metallic
doors symmetrically disposed.
Third.—The second floor or upper story. This
is approached by a massive circular stairway
granite protected by a balustrado of wrought iron,
which occupies a part of tho space in tho vestibulo
most remote from tho doors of cntranco. Thcso
stairs, form a self-sustaining arch, and we venture
say that they exhibited the best architectural effect
of tho kind to bo found South of the Potomac.
Tho coiling above the stairs springs from circular
walls, and forms a beautiful domodoeply pannelled.
Tho upper floor is devoted to a U. S. Court Room
with its appropriate offices attached. The Court
room is forty-six feet by thirty-six, and has a dome
ceiling richly pannelled and finished in tho most
modern stylo, the summit of tho dome boing twenty
foet above the floor. The other rooms on this floor
are the office of tho Clerk of tho Court, thirty feet
by sixteen; two Judged rooms, eighteen feet by
twelve; a District Attorney’s office, Grand Jury
room, Petit Jury room, and witnessos room, each
seventeen by sixteen feet, with ceilingB fifteen feet
high.
Tho walls of tho building throughout are of hewn
granite, tho rafters of the roof are of wrought iron
covered by plates of galvanised iron, and the floors
are paved with marblo. Tho ceilings aro all vault
ed in masonry. In tho vestibule and somo other
spaces this vaulting is done by groined arches,
while in most of tho rooms tho samo result is ob
tained by means of "barrel arches,” which will give
a diminished horizontal thrust against tho walls.
This system consists in introducing on tho several
floors strong beams of cast iron and springing
succession of circular arches jn brick from one
tho other.
Such aro somo of the details of an edifice which
belongs to tho new times and the future history
the ancient city of Oglcthorpo. In tho whole, and in
its parts, tho design reflects tho highest crediton tho
good taste, architectural skill, and sound judgment
of Mr. Norris, tho architect. From what we havo
said, it is obvious that tbo building is thoroughly
fire proofin all its parts. Ages may roll over it, if
it bo not visited by earthquakes, without impairing
its solidity or its beauty. And busy throngs shall
congregato there, with demands of business, and
manifold discussion—and tlio jokes and repartees
of the day shall bo heard about its precincts, during
long centuries after all of us who now move on lift’
busy stage, shall repose in tho tomb.

^ Opening op the Custom House.—Although the
business of the Customs has boon transacted for some
dqya past in tho now Costora House, yet the build
ing was not formally and officially opened till yes
terday, when it was dono with all tho ceremonies
which aro deemed necessary for such occasions.
The building was opened from 6 to 8 o’clock P. M.—
by the'invitation of Hibam Roberts, Esq., the
Collector of tho port. Mr. Roberts received his
friends in one of tho rooms of tho basement, whore
an inviting treat of excellent Hoidsick, punch, &c,
audiated them. We can testify that the hospitality
dispensed on the occasion was equal to the demand—
which was not particularly small considering
that the guests continued to como and go for tho
Space of Bomb three hours. Tho occasion was’im-
provod by the offering of an unusual variety of toasts
and sentiments in which tho health of tho host, and
iof the architect of the building wero not forgotten.
Upon the wholo, tho best foeling provailod, and all
- present seemed to have a foretaste that tho beautiful
and noble edifice, tho occupation of which was com-
■ memorated, would provo an apt symbol of tho now
'■ *’Lrf. fortunes of Savannah.
The friends of Gen. Scott, it will bo seen, hold

City Post Office.
Tho straitened limits, and obscurity of that part of
the Custom House assigned to the City Post Office
present a suggestion which we beg leave to lay before
our fellow citizens. Two things will, wo think,
conceded—first, that although the actual space
tho Custom House building, devoted to tho Post
Offico, may suffico at present, yet it is morally cer
tain that in a very short timo, it will bo altogether
inadequate to the public necessities. And second
ly, it is equally certain that both now and in tho
futuro tho obscurity of this section of tho building,
requiring tho almost constant uso of gas lights
somo portions of it, is a standing objection. Wo
believe, wo but express the common opinion long
since formed, that the apartments appropriated
the Post Offico aro not by any moans commonsu-
rato with tho wants of that department, or that
they will soon cease to be so. In addition to which
consideration wo might urge that all this-room and
much more is wanted for the actual uses of tho
Custom House proper, and tliat tho architect has
undoubtedly given nil tho space which he could
properly spare for this object.
If these thingB aro so, why should not Savannah
have a new building erected by tho United States
expressly for a Post Offico. Wo havo had but little
horo from tho government, and want but littlo.
We have been unsuccessfully applying for long
years to havo our harbor improved, but either the
veto or some other untoward circumstance has
thwarted our designs, although thero is not a single
claim in tho whole country so really urgent and just
as ours. Nor havo tho Representatives of Georgia
in Congress in tho past years looked to this seaport
with tho samo friendly care as those of Carolina
and all other States havo to their seaports. Thcso
things, we humbly trust, havo passed away, and tho
time haG come, when perhaps, by asking for what
is porfectly reasonable, wo can bo gratified. With
proper attention, wo aro persuaded that wo might
havo a modest appropriation put into tho general
bill. A building with ample accommodations for
tho Post Office—fire proof—would not cost much.
Wo moko tho suggestion now, proposing to recur
to tho subject again, if it is well received.
The New Congress Library.—Tho proposed
arrangement of tho now library at tho national Cap
itol, os sketched in Nortorfs Literary Gazette, em
braces a suito of five rooms, extending iff* tho ag
gregate throe hundred and two foot. Thero will
be two stories of ulcovcs, tho second ono receding
throe foet from tho first, so as to admit a gallery
with but littlo projection; and abovo tho second
story of alcoves will bo a third story, with book
cases against tho walls. Tho wholo interior is tc
be of iron and fire-proof, so as to avoid tho possi
bility of another calamitous fire, nnd is to bo fin
ished in a stylo of groat architectural beauty. Tho
sholves will bo of porcelain. Tho oxpcnBo will
amount to 872,000, and tho library is calculated,
whon finished, to nccommodato 50,000 volumes.—
Ten thousand dollars havo boon appropriated, nnd
tho books purchased to tako tbolr placo in tho now
library; and valuable additions will bo made to tlio
library from timo .to timo.
NASHUA, (NEVV-HAMPSUIRE,) »
July 8th, 1852. j
Dear Sir.'—Engagements that could not woll bo
doforrod havo prevented mo from giving an oarlior
answer to your lotter of tho 23d ult. I now proceod
to tho task with pleasure, boeauso I can roply to
both branches of your inquiries from full personal
knowledge.
I have been woll acquainted with Gen. Piorco
for at least fiftocn years. His family and mino, al
though living in different parts of tho country, wore
intimate from my childhood. I hnvo his venerated
fathor’s noblo person, and graceful manners, now
distinctly in my rooolloelion, and remember Frank
lin, the son, almost, ifnot quito os far back ns whoh
ho camo to tlio bar in 1827. His groat ominonco as
a lawyer, nnd signal success and ability as an advo
cate, you doubtless know.
His character ns a politician is written in his his
tory—now, if not boloro, familiar to you.
With rognrdto tho purity of Gen. Piorco’s private
life and character, tho numerous important respon
sibilities which havo continually dovolved upon
him, tho high social position ho has ever occupied,
and his groat and Insting personal popularity with
mon of all parties, furnish tho most conclusive ovi-
donco. But I desire to say, that I havo never
known a man with a kinder heart, ono who per
formed more honorably or moro readily nil tho du
ties devolving upon tho private citizen, or who ex
hibited a daily lifo moro worthy of universal com
mendation than Gen. Piorco. Tho infamous false
hoods, which unscrupulous partiznns have circula
ted with regard to tho public and private character
of Gen. Piorco, sinco his nomination for tho Presi
dency, need no refutation whoro ho is personally
known. Thoy can do no injury any whero, whoro a
desiro for truth shall bo sufficient to prompt an in
vestigation of their falsity.
A word os to his brief, but brilliant military ca
reer. I bolongcd to tho 9th Infantry, of which ho
was originally Colonel, and sorvcil in hiabrigado
through the campaign, from first to last. When tho
9th Infantry arrived at Vera Cruz, Juno 28, 1847,
troops from different sections of tho country—tho
9th and 12th Irifantry—two companies of cavalry, a
corps of marines, and dotachmonts numbering of all
arms about twonty-fivo hundred men, wero assem
bled thero—or rather at Camp Vorgnra, bolow the
city. It was in the midst of the vomito season, and
the General, without a day’s delay, dovoted himself
to a thorough organization of tho mixed elements
of his command, and a preparation for tho march to
join Gon. Scott at Puebla. Gen. Pierce’s eye was
was everywhere; and his labor nnd exposure in tho
work of preparation wero amazing. He maintain
ed rigid discipline, which was indispensable; but,
at tho same timo, by his admirablo judgment, real
kindness, and unremitting attentions to tho wants
of all, ho secured not only tho respect, but tbo at-
foction of his entire command; a respect mid affec
tion which were maintained under all tho privations
and hardships of tho march, nnd tho severe sorvico
in the valley. Wo all regarded him, not only as
our safe and over-gallant coinmandor, but, ns it
wero, our father. No real grievance of officer or
soldier was ever brought«to his notice without re
dress.
I havo seen him undor fire many times, nnd his
bearing was always marked by an intrepidity and
coolness that commanded perfect confidence; and
his entire disregard of personal danger excited on
the part of his command tho highest enthusiasm.—
This was eminently tho case at tho National Bridgo,
whero tho variation of tho eighth of an inch, in tho
range of tho ball that struck his hat from hiB head,
would have cost him his life—and, also, at Contre
ras and Cherubusco. His endurance, fortitude, and
vigilance, under all circumstances, could not be
surpassed. His judgmont was quick, and when
onco iormed, execution followed with tho rapidity
of light. His daring intrepidity, (known to all who
participated with him in danger, and who wero in
spired by his example,) no ono but on infamous
blackguard and coward would deny. This will bo
affirmed by all good officors and men, whether of
tho old army or now levies, who served with Gen.
Piorco. His assiduous attentions to tho wants and
comforts of tho feeble, tho sick, and tho wounded,
have bomo to him tho blessings of many, who aro
now dead, and will continue to bear to him tho
grateful blessings of many who survivo.
I could givo you many, very many, anecdotes il
lustrative of all I have said; but you ask merely for
an opinion, and not for details.
You have perfect liberty to mnko such use of this
lottor as you may deem proper;
Very respectfully, your ob*t soiVt,
GEORGE BOWERS.
Tho Elections In England.
Tho elections givo but little prOmiso to tho Dorby
administration. Up to tho Uth in*, tho adminlstra-.
Uon had gained ninotoon and lost twonty-throo
soats, making tho premier’s position woreo by four
votes, counting olght on a division. If wo ostlmato
tho majority against him in tho Inst Parliament at
oighty-lour, as shown on Mr. Gladstone’s amend
ment to tho govommont proposition for dividing
tho vacant soats of St. Alban’s and Sudbury, be
tween South Lancashire and tho West Riding,
" which is about tho fnlrcst test that can bo soloct-
" odsays tho Liverpool Courier, " for overy sup-
“ porter of tho Ministry was whipped in on that oc
casion—wo shall find that by adding his lossos to
" this majority, ho stands at tho timo wo writo in an
"absolute minority of ninety-two votes. Ills
*' strength lies in tho countios; but thoy are hardly
“likely to give him a greater majority in tho now
" than ho possessed in tho old Parliament. Indood,
"in somo of tho counties liberal Conservatives, as
" opposed to tho Dorbyltos, are likely to supplant
" tho Into occupants to tho extent of half a score of
" votes, whilo, in Ireland, ho is almost certain to loso
" at lonst another half score of supporters; white, as
" regards Scotland, tho ostimnte is that ho will bo
“ weakened by tho returns from that part of the
United Kingdom. The probability, therefore, is,
that his minority whon Parliament meets will not
bo muoh loss than tho estimate which was given
« by a high authority, a week back—namoly, ono
" hundred and thirty votes on a division. If this
" estimato is at all noar the mark, tho Dorby ad-
" ministration cannot Burvivo tho first week ol the
" session."
Lord John Russoll nnd Baron Rothjjchild havo
boon reflected in London. After tho result of Lord
John’s poll had been declared, according to tho
English custom, ho camo forward to return thanks
to tho electors. Ho said many pretty things of tho
people, of his Into colloagues, and of his competitors,
and expressed his particular gratification at finding,
by the election of Baron Rothschild, that tho citizons
of London " maintained unimpaired their devotion
"4o that principlo of religious liberty which ia idon-
" lifted with his namo and election.”
In tho course of his spcoch ho mado tho follow
ing important statemont:
. " And now. gentlemen, before wo part, allow mo,
to say a word or two on tho general results of that
election which is now taking place throughout tho
country. Although I am no longer in tho position
t> toll you cabinot secrets, yet there is asocrot which
1 think I may a littlo boloro hand be ablo to rovoal
to you, and that secret is, that you need no longer
ho in suspenso about a great question; for I will von-
tire to say, that so soon as tho last county election
is over, so soon os tho lost farmer bus been pollcdi
at that momont toe shall be told that the govern
ment considers the cause of protection hopeless,
ani that the principle of free trade has been tri-
umjhantly established. (Loud cheers.)
It will be soen by reference to our tolographte
dispatches, received aftor tho foregoing was in typo,
that tho elections have proved os disastrous to tho
Ministry as was predicted.
Later from Utah Territory.—Ton Mormon
missionaries, on route for Europo, havo arrived at
St. Louis from Salt Lake, bringing dates to tho 8th

The crepe lookod uncommon woll. A woolen
factory has just been put into operation. Good
health provailod. Now settlements wore being
made in a number of tho surrounding valleys,
largo amuunt of sugar beet had been sown in anti
cipation of tho arrival of tho machinery under tho
charge of Elder John Taylor. Gov. Young and
suito had started upon an exploring expedition
through tho valloys of tho Colorado, Green Rivor,
nnd their tributaries, for tho purpose of making set
tlements to raiso cotton for homo manufacture. A
largo emigration was daily looked for. Thoy mot
tho first emigrating companies on tho 23rd of May,
25 miles beyond Independence Rock. But very
littlo sickness prevailed among them, and thoy
wero in fino spirits. Only about 160 or 200 graves

Letter from the Hon. George TV. Walthour of
Liberty County.
WALTHOURVILLE, JULY 22, 1852.
Dear Sir :—You wish to know what courso I
moan to pursuo in tho present Presidential cam
paign. I have never given an opinion, until within
a few days past. I have been silent, expecting tho
party to which 1 belonged, (Constitutional Union
Party) would at tho late Convention hold at Mil-
lodgeville, havo brought out their own candidates .
but in this I huvo been disappointed—tho conso-
quonco is, I must chooso from tho present nominees,
Pierce and Scott. Tho fust I cannot vote for. I
consider him tho nominco of tho Southern Rights
Party—a party, which last fall opposed tho Con
stitutional Union Party on tho ground of tho com
promise. Is it not strango that they will now run
Pierce and King, who aro compromise mon 1 Is
thore any consistency in such a courso 7 Again I
am no longer bound by party linos, for tho morabers
of tho lato Convention, have acted with tho South
ern Rights Party in supporting Pierce and King,
and I am left to choose for myself, and I chooso
Gen. Scott. Ho bos always fulfilled his promises,
and ho has accepted tho nomination with tho Reso
lutions annoxod, which makes him a compromise
man, and he will carry out its provisions to their
full oxtent. Notwithstanding tho defection of somo
of our leading mon, Whigs cannot bo led. With
this view of tho subject, you may put mo down a
Scott man. That ho will bo elected I have but lit
tle doubt, although ho may not got tho voto of Geor
gia. 1 am, Dear Sir,
Your friend and obt. servant,

Reciprocity with Canada.—The Hon. Mr. Sey
more, Chairman of tho Committee on Commerce
in tho Houso of Representatives, is engaged in pre
paring a very important bill providing for tho free
navigation of tho.St. Lawrence river, and for a
ciprocol trado with tho Canadas, which will bo
shortly reported. It provides that whenever tho
Government of Great Britain shall givo us tho samo
privilege of navigating tho St. Lawronco, in all res
pects, as is enjoyed by British subjocts, or vessels,
and whenever the President of tho United States
shall issue his proclamation doclaring cortain arti
cles, tho growth and production of tho United
States, to be admitted into tho provinco of Canada,
bylaw, free of duty, then and aftor that day, until
otherwise directed by Congress, tho liko articles,
being tho growth and production of Canada, shall
bo admitted freo of duty into tho United States,
when imported direct from tho province. Tho ar
ticles enumerated ore grains and broadBtufls,vegeta
bles, fruits, seeds, animals, hides, wool, cliecso,
butter, tallow, horns, salt and fresh moats, ores of
all kinds of metals, stone, marble, ashes, hemp, raw
unmanufactured cotton, lumber, agricultural imple
ments, nnd costings of all kinds of metal. Tho bill
is regarded ns of great importance in connection
with tho present difficulty with England in relation
to Fisheries, to which its passage would probably
put an immediate end.

, A Great Windfall.—A young lady of Brook
lyn, N. Y., named Payne, Hob recently received a
legacy amounting to soventy-five thousand pounds
sterling, from a Don Guy Emanuel Hernando, a
wealthy West India planter. This lady, it is said,
was married to tho planter in 1846, whon she was
scarcely fiftocn years old, but tho marriago having
proved an unhappy ono, it was never proclaimed,
Shortly after ho left her nnd took up his residence
in New Orleans. In 1848 ho recoivod information
of his lather’s death—ho returned to his estate in
South America, and succoodcd in increasing his
already largo fortune to ono hundred and fifty
thousand pounds sterling. As ho was about to em
bark for Havana, ho was taken with cholera, and
died on his estate, bequeathing seventy-five thou
sand pounds to his wife, (if living) and tho wholo
if sho never married and resided on his estate,
which will render her ono of tho wealthiest hoiresscs
in tho United States.

Tho caso of Thomas Kaino, domanded by tho
'English Govommont under tho Ashburton treaty,
not yot sottlcd, nnd a furthor hearing is to bo hud
on Monday. In tho monntitno tho oxcitomont
among tho Irish population is becoming intense,
and thoro are throats of mob interference in caso
tho fugitivo is givon up. A certain eliaue of politi
cal mountobnnks horo havo Bhown groat eagerness
to shield this allogod criminal from justico, and
ovory logoi obstaclo has boon interposed to provont
his surrender. On Thursday ovoning a mooting
was hold at Tammany Hall "to consider tho case"
—in othor words, to catch Irish votes. Tho moot
ing was addressed by Jamos T. Brady, Horaco
Grooly, Mr. Blankmann, a fourth-rnto lawyer, and
number of obscure politicians. Mr. Blankmann,
in tlio courso of his harnnguo, said that "tho British
Government might as woll claim Thomas Francte
Moaghor, or any othor political cxilo, on somo such
chargo as stealing a pair of tho Queen’s breeches,
as tho man Kaino.” Mr. Groely wna/'down on”
tho Ashburton treaty, and recommended Congress
to roviso tho act of 1848. Tho othor Bponkere wero
awful 8ovoro on tho treaty, and likened it to tho
fugitivo slave act. At tho conclusion of tho eponk-
ing a subscription was takon up, probably to pay
tho liquor bill at tho bar. Tho whole movement is
pretty well understood here.
Another meeting of tho samo stamp is to bo hold
in Brooklyn this evening. Meaghor has beon in
vited to bo ono of tho sponkors, but vory wisely
declines.
Chas. Doan, lato mate of tho Swedish barquo
Solide, yesterday rocovorod $102 in tho Marino
Court, from tho master of tho abovo vessel, for
violation of contract. As tho decision is ono of
considerable interest to marinere nnd shipowners
it is worth n placo in tho Republican. It appears
that Doan shipped in Now-York and signoda pa-
por printed in English, describing tho voyngo to bo
to Cadiz, Spain, and back to Now-York. Tho
articles wore proved to bo in tho Swedish language,
nnd wore not in tho shipping offico when Dean
affixed his signature. On arriving at Cadiz ho
was discharged from tho vessel, and another mate
shippod in his placo, at a lower rate of wages, nnd
tho Solide returned to Now-York. Doan remain
ed threo weoks and then obtained passago to Now-
York. Finding tlio Solide hero ho instituted a
suit to rocovor tho expenses of his board in Cadiz,
tho cost of his passage homo, nnd wngcB, from tho
date of his dischargo till tho arrival of tho Solide
in Now-York. Defendant contended that the
contract with Dean was to go to Cadiz only, and
relied upon the paper signed by him and tho Swe
dish Consul, that ho was duly discharged. Tho
Court hold that tho papor was obscure and incom
plete, and was open to explanation by parolo testi
mony. Doan then introduced depositions, proving
that tho Captain and tho shipping master both
represented the voyage to bo to Cadiz and back to
New-York, and that tho mate and crow shipped
upon thoso representations. Whoroupon tho abovo
sum was awarded by tho Court.
Niblo’s now Metropolitan Hotel is nonrly com
pleted. Decorators aro busily engaged getting tho
interior in order, and it is expected that tho houso
will bo ready to receive guests by tho first of Au
gust. This immonso bulling probably exceeds any
thing of tho kind in sizo and splendor over con
structed, certainly in this country. Tho window
glass alono, I am informed, cost $35,000. It is
capacious enough to accommodate tho population
of quito a largo town. It contains about fivo hun
dred rooms, ono hundred of which aro designed for
families, and aro fitted up with ovory luxury of
baths, dressing nnd smoking rooms nnd pnrlors.
It will contain mirrore oxceeding in size any hither
to scon in tills country; Brussels, Turkey nnd
Tupcstry carpets, by tho aero; rosewood 6ofas,
tete-a-tete lounges, chairs, dressing enses, &c., in
sufficient quantities to stock a largo number of
warehouses; curtains of tho richest material;
wash stands and pier tables mado of tho costliest
statuary marblo, and othor equipments, too numer
ous to mention, equally exponsivo. This publio
palace extends 263 feet on Broadway, and roaches
back 210 foot on l’rinco to Crosby-Btreet. Tho
whole length of tho roomy corridors and stairways
is a fraction over two miles. Tho length of pipo
convoying gas and water into ovory room of the
houso is about fivo miles. Tho Messrs. Loland,
Into of tho Clinton, are tho Jesses.
Tho supply of floating capital continues very
largo, and the rates remain low. Vory fow "ups
and downs” can now bo notod, and tho general fea
tures aro tho snmo from week to week. Cronkors
havo ceased their wailings, and tho present abund
ance must, with fow variations, continue for many
months at least, and probably years will hnvo olnps-
od before tho country again passes through financial
troubles equal to thoso from which wo havo just
recovered. Occasionally a shipment of half a mil
lion or more of speeio takes place, nnd somo fow
oxpress foarsthata "stringency” in tho money mar
ket will occur noxt autumn or winter, in the vain
hopo probably, that it may provo truo; but tho spe
cie basis of tho country is already too strong to bo
affoctcd by thcso movements, and it is becoming
moro so overy month by ndditions from tho nurifer-
ous regions of California. Tbo continued accumu
lation of gold in tho groat commercial markets of
the world, and tho redundancy of money arising
from this cause, and from tho quiet stato of trado,
boyond tho demand for tho ordinary uses of com
merce, presents a subject for serious consideration,
with a view to tho formation of somo satisfactory
judgment of tho tendency of this novel stato of
things, and its probablo offoct upon tho voluo of pro
perty, and particularly upon tho standnrd of valuo.
In a futuro letter I shall havo something to say upon
this subject.

The Deaf, Dumb, Blind, Idiotic and Insane in
the United States.—From statistics which havo
been published, wo gather that tho total number of
persons in tho Unitod States, who are laboring under
tho deprivation of either spcoch or hearing, or both,
is 9614. Strango as it may appear 567 of tho num
bor were bom in foreign countries. Probably most
of them were brought over in their infancy. As tho
whole free population of the Unitod States numbers
23,263,488, tlio rato of deaf and dumb persons to tho
wholo population would bo about 1 to ovory 3,353.
Tho number of blind porsons in tho United States
is not so large as that of tho deaf and dumb. Thoy
are computed to be about 8491, but wo hero soo a
still further increase of the number of tboso who
wore foreign bom. Tho latter numbered 797. Tho
•proportion of blind to tho wholo population may bo
sot down at 1 for ovory 4,705 porsons. Tho idiots
numbor 14,666, all of whom with tho exception of
553 foreign bom, and .110 unknown, aro natives of
Amoricn. Tho rato of idiots to tho wholo popula
tion is 1 in ovory 2088 porsons. Tho total numbor
of insnno persons in tho United States far oxcoeds
any of tbo abovo classes of unfortunates. Thoy aro
computed at 15477 persons, of whom 2154 wore
foreign bora. Tho rato of .insano porsons lo tho
wholo population may bo sot down at 1 to ovory
2,464 persons.

Messrs. Editors .•—Perhaps thoro Is no subjoot
hotter cnlculatod to furco from an American heart
long drawn sigh, than a contrast botweon tho post
and prosont state of our moral character as a na
tion. And somo prido, ns woll as pleasing melan
choly, may bo produced by roviowing tho march
wo havo made, by noticing tho brilliant incidents
thoy riso up before us liko milo stones, to guide
tho illustrations of practical patriotism, invigo
rating our memory nnd furnishing data for presont
contemplation, ns woll ns stubborn facts for honost
comparison. Wo lovoto reflect upon that stem
nnd unwnvoring zeal for tho publio good which
characterised tho fathors of our republic, while
wo admire thoir constitutional motto, " Epluribus
Unum," as a consorvntivo polar star to thoir polit-
cal faith. Then indeed our national character
was a fixed fact, and tho moral structure of our in
stitutions an ontity. But wo may foar that tho prin
ciples that moved them in tho organization of our
national superstructure, and norved them to provide
with prophotlo intolligonco for futuro ovonts, are
fast fading nway. Now, tho experience of depart
ed days and tho oxamplcs which thoy afford, liko
tho beautiful rainbow in tho Ilcavons or tho
phosphorescent sparkles of tho troubled sea are
hardly noticed, and if so, thoy are speedily
forgotten or thrust asido to moulder in tho tomb of
eternity, white tho doctrino of presont expediency
adsorbs tho masses, and becomes a spur to national
progress. Thus our political morality is mado sub-
serviont to our exigencies, nnd a political llo or
slandor is called a venial offence. Tho end in
viow is mado to justify the moans for its accom
plishment—tho vilest ultraisms aro substituted for
discarded and exited virtues, and tbo truo interest
ot tho country often prostituted to individual ad
vancement. Tho scramblo for offico, liko tho tur
bid waters of a swollen stream, boars along tho
filth and corruption of reckless anxioty, white tho
country is infested with a woll contrivod machine
ry entering to tho wants and promoting tho offorts
offpresumptuous aspirants. And party, for tho sako
of party has roared hor altars nnd sont out hor
edicts for universal submission to tho dictum of hor
caucusses, until tho suffrage of tho people is almost
morgod in tho conclusions of thoir representatives—
for thoy claim that tho transient depositories of n
pooplo’s wish bocomo by thoir creation, tho power
that may suggest, command nnd control thoir son-
timonts. Months aro consumed by our members of
Congress, in Prcsidont making, in getting tbo poo-
plo’s eight dollars por diom for a work of superero
gation, white manifesting an entire destitution of
duty to a liberal constituency, at tho samo timo a
bnro-fneed impudonco, by attempting to dictate to
thoir masters for whom thoy must voto for a futuro
Prdfcidont. If ovidenco wore still wonting wo can
roforto rocont nominations, and thoro view tho
workings of tliat over busy spirit, as it poisons tho
fountain, und sonds out its putrescent streams to
corrupt tho honrt of tho masses. Notico with what
callous indifforonco thoy could curb tho viows of
ingenuous mon, and tumble headlong into tbo wild
surges of expediency tho pretensions of honesty
and well known constitutional fealty. Tho pres-
ent-domngogues, liko wolves in sheep's clothing,
havo stolon tho livery of purer times, nnd undor its
consorvntivo folds lmvo almost beguiled tho groat
national heart. In vain do wo turn for roliof to
tho miniature picture of city governments North or
South. Tho samo rabid licentiousness of grog and
profermont present thomsolvcs under now phuses,
and tho motto ",tho Dovil tako tho hindmost” is tho
" Open Sesam” to success, white offices aro con
ferred upon itinerant senpo goats, and tho soft and
pliant consciences of imported loafors aro mado
tho subsidiaries to individual advancement. But
wo havo written enough to dovolopa tho contrast
botwocn tho past and tho present and to show tho
obligations resting upon nn intelligent nnd moral
press which !b tho groat Archimcdian Lovor—whon
rightly employed—as woll ns tho Palladium of our
political and civil rights. And wo invoke its pow
er, that our politics may bo restored to its pristino
purity, our moral character bo exalted, nnd scourges
bo placod in tho hands of a deluded but honest
constituency " to whip tho originators and abettors
of political rascality, naked round tho world.”
