Steamship Falcon.—This steamor touch ed off our bar on Monday n’ght, between 11 and .12 o’clock, and received the mails and passen gers, from* this city for Havana, Now Or- ■ leans and Chagrds. We understand the Fal- edit brought no mail nor passengers for our city. • Ship Ashore.—Capt. Stevens, of tho bark Exact, arrived vestorduy from New York, in forms us that yesterday morning about 8 o'clock ho saw a large American ship, with new can vass and newly painted, go nshoro on St. Hele na Head. Ho was not nblo to ascertain her / n-une, or where she win from. * The Wilmot I’rovisoists.—There are two kinds of Abolitionists—the Garrison and Abby Folsom abolitionists^ who muke no terms and demand the immediate emancipation of all the slaves in creation, regurdloss of consequences; and the more scrupulous political abolitionists who are disposed to compromise with us on terms of a total surrender, on our part, of all controverted [rights. If we will abandon all claims toun equal participation in the public domain, submit to the exclusion of Southern institutions, by law, from the territories acquir ed mid to be acquired, and consent to tho abo lition of slavery in the District of Columbia, they will pormit us to hold our slave property within our own limits, where it is out of their rouch and where they could not possibly inter fere with it. Theso latter affect u scrupulous regard for/he constitution and our rights, and remind us of the following fable from Sumu- niego, of * , the scrupulous cats. “ Two cats, old Tortoise-back and Kate, Once from its spit a capon ate. It was a giddy tiling, be sure, And one they could not hide or cure. They licked themselves, howevor, clean, ^ And then sat down behind a screen, And talked it over. Quite precise, They took each other's best advice, Whether to eat the spit or no 1 ‘ Din they eat it V ' Sir, I trow, They did not ! They were honest things, Who had auonscience, and knew how it sungs.” Defaulters.—Tho Washington correspon dent of the Baltimore Clipper gives the names of tho following recently discovered defaul ters. Wm. B. Scott, Nuvy Agent and Navy Pen sion Agent at> Washington—deficit $17,897,59. Joseph S. Watkins, Navy Agent, Memphis, Tenn.—amount, $5,767 88. J.

Navy— amount, $3,678 16. Isaac Hill, Pension Agent, $5,101,80. fsr Tho vote of tho citizens of Jibbile oti the 27 ult., on the proposition to impose a tax to raise $300,000 for the Mobile and Ohio Rail road, stood 404 ayes, to 7 nays. There are, says the Tribune, about six hundred and fifty udultproperty holders. Accident to the Smithsonian Institute. —On Thursday last one of the brick piers in the cellar of the Smith&ni&n Institute, on whiefh tho foot of n column supporting the floor rested, gave way, and a part of the upper floor of the sinallerroom of the main building was precipitated into the room below.Jj breaking ■down the lower floor into the cellar. Four men were at work in the roohi at the time, and miraculously escaped injury. The Union 'says the loss will fall on the contractor, but, in all probability, will be inconsiderable. ' A thorough investigation will be made as to the cause, and additional supports be placed in the cellar, to provide against the possibility of such an occurrence in future. Pennsylvania Slave Laws.—A bill ve pealing tho law of the 3d March, 1847, which forbade the officers of the State Government of Pennsylvania, from aiding in the capture of refu gee slaves, has been read in the Legislature of that State, and is almost certain to pass, it is said- Important R«por¥'4* Secretary or War.—The Secretary War has laid before tho Hrtuse of RejpreseBtativoe an exposition of the character of the, forces employed in the Mexican war, and the losses of the respective arms of the service during hollilities- One of (fie tabular statements shows that the strength of the army at the commencement of hostilities with the republic of Mexico, in April, 1846, wns 7,244 ; tho regular force on tho fron tier of Texas. May, 1846, present and absent, 3,554; tho number of troops that joined the several divisions of tho army in Mexico, includ ing recruits, 27,470, of which 15,735 wore of the old establishment. 11,186 new regiments, and 543 marines—which, added, to the force on the Rio Grondo inj May, 1846, makes the wholo number of the regular army employed every where in tho prosecution of the war, in clusive of July 5. 1848. the date of the Presi dent’s proclamation of pence, about 31,024 ; 35,009 men were recruited from May 1st, 1846, to tho termination of the war in 1843 ; 32,190 were put en route to Mexico, which exceeds the number joined, as reported on the rolls and returns. Recapitulation of the casualties incident to the wholo number of volunteers, under various periods of sorvice, is ns follows: Discharges before tho expiration of the term, 9,169, of which 7,200 were for disability. Deaths, 7,015, to wit:—Ordinary, 6,216; killed in battle and died of wounds, 607, acci dental, 192. Resignations,279; desertions, 3.876. Forces employed and mustered into service.- Old establishment,-. 15,736 men Additional force, — .— ..11,186 Aggregate of regular arm.’, 26,922 Volunteer force.—General stnff, 272 Regiments and corps, —.... .73,260 Total regulars and volunteers — . .. .100,454 men. Of tho 15,736 men of the old line, 800 were either killed or mortally wounded. Of the 73,260 volunteers, 600 only were killed or moitully wounded, showing a difference of five to one. At Molino del Rey, in two hours, 706 men were killed and wounded. At Buena Vista, whichlasted two days, Gen. Taylor’ss kiss was 673. The former was by far the most sharply contested fight of the war. tt3PIt is said that Mrs. Lawrence, tho wife of the now minister to England, upon being presented to the royal children, caught them up and hugged them, with those terms of endear ment familiar to mothers; and that this conduct was tho subject of a stately reproof from the lord chamberlain, to the effect that not even the loyal English were suffered to caress those who might one day bo their sovereigns. Mrs. Stallings was very much astonished on reading this statement. “ Gracious knows',” exclaimed the old lady, “ I think the lord cham bermaid, as they call him, might a saved his perlitoness. I can’t see no harm in muching '^(Correspondence of the Morning News.J ‘ WASHINGTON, March 1, 1850. Matters wear a brighter aspect. The ex citement is muoh subsided, and there can be little difficulty In seem ing an adjustment of the slavery question on broad and constitutional grounds, if members will be as cbal and dificreet as they now seem to bo. The apprehended renewal of the struggle between the North and South, on Doty’s resolutions, next Mon day, lias been, in good time, prevented, by re ferring that subject to tho committee of the wholo, togi-tlior with the California message. There will be no more rows, nor rumors of rows. The nffuir between Col. Davis and Col. Bissei.l is ended forever, or husbeen arrang ed by their friends. Nothing would have been more absurd nor'misebievous than a difficulty between these two gentlemen. There was no apparent ground for any; and, if it had oc curred, it Would have been attributed ttf sec tional feeling alone, and, at this period of ex citement, would huve boerf productive of much had feeling every where. Both Houses are now going on calmly in the discussion of the slavery topic. Mr. Toombs’ spcecli was argumentative and strong, and, by no means violent. The speeches of Mr. Mc- Lane of Me. und Mr. Conrad of Louisiana, were moderate and able. Tho general dispo sition of the Southern Members is that there should bo either no intervention whatever in the mutter of slavery in the territories, or that it should be settled by extending the line of thirty-six thirty to tire Pacific, with slavery Suuth of it, and prohibition North of it. A number of Senators have, for a week or two, been busy in forming a compromise, that would be generally acceptable. Mr. Webster wasoneof those who wereconsulted. Theresult was brought forward to day, by Mr. Bell, of Tennessee,in a series of Resolutions. The plan is nearly the same us tbut which has of late been attributed to Mr. Webster; you wijl find it in the papers of this morning. It admits a state from Texas, between the Trinity und Col- orada, and prospectively admits another state between the Colorado and the Rio Grand ; pro vides for the purchase of Texas claims to territory North of the parallel of 34, admits California with her assumed boundaries ; others of Territorial Governments where necessary ; and provides that after the people of a territory shall by Congress be permitted to form a State Constitution, the inhabitants thereof shall regulate their owr. domestic concerns, &c, Mr. Bell thinks this will give to the South nil the territory that cun ever be made available to her. Mr. Butler gave notice that Mr. Cal houn being still 1 unable to attend [tho Senate, cd the little things, if they behave themselves like woulr ; ad driss it by proxy, on Monday, which good children; and for my part, I would just as leave hug ’em and kiss ’om as any body else’s bubies,pervided thoirfaces was clean.” The Forrest Divorce Case.—The grounds upon which Mr. Forrest petitions for a divorce, are said to be—that his wife has so far violated, the marriage contract, as to constrain him to this uppeal. That there is an entire incotn- putahility of temper and feelings, and utter im possibility of happiness to either party in the continuance of, the matrimonial connection; upd that his wife hus committed criminal acts, inconsistent with the dignity and purity of the marriage state. It will be necossary to furnish specific charges, with proper evidence to sub* stantiate them, however, before any action will be taken by tho legislature. was of course objected to. UNION. tw The “Fakirof Siva” opened last night at tho Atheneuci, in the mysterious and laughable representations of the Magii of the Old World, and Scenn, in the highly amusing Science of Ventriloquism. lie fully sustained his reputa tion as n-skilful adroitnnd gentlemanly perform er. His numerous and fashionable auditors were highly delighted at his truly wonderful, and extraordinary feats. lie givos another re presentation this evening, and we advise all who are fond of the marvellous or enn enjov a hearty laugh, to visit the “Fakir” -to night. J2P Wo sro it stated that the sum of $21,- 737, 1ms been raised in Canada to rebuild Brock’s Monument on Queenston Heights. The committee have determined to erect an obelisk not less in height Bran one hundred and fifty feet, and not more ihnn one hundred and giilfenty; the cost not to exceed $20,000. The former monument was a beautiful structure, and its wanton distruction was a most disgrace ful affair. We were glad to leurn while in Can ada some years ago that the act was attributed thereto lypanadidn, und not to an American, as was at first supposed. cr The body ofa white man, aged about thirty, was found in the Mississippi between Lafayette and Bouligny on the 26th ult. His throat was cut. It hi stated that the same poi son was seen in a cabaret near the place the night before, displaying a quantity of gold and bank notes. A woman in the neighborhood heard a cry of murder in the night. One bus- pious person has been arrested. The Nicaragua Question.—A lute number of the Liverpool Mercury says: “We have the best authority for stating that there is a per fect friendly understanding existing between th government of this country and that of the Uni ted States; that the railroad and ship canal ito be constructed, across fhe Istlqnus of ranama, are tube open-to all the \tforld, in peace or war, and that France and Russia signify their desire of being parties to this arrangement.—This a Ruble movement in favor of peace and civil?* ’ jr ' Webster’s Dictionary.—It has recently been publicly stated that nearly 4,000 copies of Webster’s Quarto Dictionary have been sold in Boston in a little more than two yeats Thirty millions have been sold of Webster’s spelling book—about six millions since the death of the author, 1843. The Freesoil Convention at Funeuil Hall, Boston, adjourned sine die on Wednesday evening. An address and resolutions reported by R. H. Dana, Esq., were unanimously adop ted. They were directed to the Senators and Representatives of Massachusetts in Congress, reminding them of their duties and obliga tions to the spirit of freedom, und urging them tofthafaithful performance of thoso duties, re gardless of consequences, and submitting to no compromises. Tho only thing that detracted front the harmony of the meeting was tho forci ble expulsion of that incorrigible advocate of “free speech and woman’s rights,” Mrs. Ab- by Folsom, who seemed to think she was in a place most fitting to be heard. A New Idea.—The Boston News Letter is the title given to a publication issued in Boston, which has tho merit of novelty. On the inside of a sheet of fine packet post letter paper, leaving two pages blank for a private letter, is printed all the current news of the city for too weekend the deaths during Feb ruary. ' How to Kill Rate Instantly.—Somebody « Fyou powder one ounce of squills, and :se four ounces, and well mix thorn. ill eat it end evaporate instnntero It 13T Queen Victoria has lately been presented with a specimen of California gold, (weighing six pounds eight minces and upwards, sayr an account.,) by one of tho firm of Popplewell & Walls, of London, to wljjm it whs consigned by their agent at Valparaiso- It is said to be the largest “lump” ever seen, even in the diggings of Culijbrma K tdf Letters by the last English steamer an nounce the fact that the health oftho Hon. Ab bot Lawrence is very much improved.. A New Discovert.—A citizen of Galveston, Texas, has discovered a process for making what is called “Meat Biscuit” —by grating, which an excellent soup may be made in a few minutes, and one pound of the biscuit, is esti- mated as an ample three days’ allowance of food for one man. It is a good invention for the purposes of the California diggers. A PoisonlngCase in VhdrLestoton—More Mys tery.—A telegraphic dispatch to tho New York Times dated Boston, 28th ult, says—Some time since a Mrs. Rose,residing in Charlestown, did;! very suddenly, and under suspicious cir cumstances. Shortly after, the body, at the re quest of deceased’s friends, was exhumed, and the stomuch and intestines placed in charge of an eminent chemist of this city for the purpose of analysing the parts, and detecting, if possi ble'the existence of poison.—After a careful analysis, the report was made and the chemist stated that he had detected an active mineral poison in the stomach—-oxyde of arsenic. Tho affair is now undergoing an investigation before Coroner Sumner, of Charlestown. A very im portant witness, named John Pasqual, wns ex amined to-day, and. incidents elicited which will throw into the shade tlwise startling mys teries widely have for some time rendered this vicinity not a little notorious. Mr. Rose, the husband of the deceased, died last July, as was supposed of cholera; but sus picions are entertained that his case may have some relation to that now under examination. The parties are all natives of Spain, but well known in this neighborhood. E3F The value of the goods stolen from the jewelry store of Mr. Henry Richardson, in Pittsburg, on Friday lust, amounts to from $3,- 00(1 to $10,000. [Correspondence of the Morning News.) NEW YORK, MARCH 1. We have little stirring to-day wherewith to couc«cta very interesting letter; in fact the giuktion at Washington seems to have proiluc- comparative decree of quietude else where, and etery body is watching with some little anxiety the progress of mutters there. No one, however, appears to entertain very serious apprehensions of an immediate dissolution of tho Union, particularly as Senator Foote's ill ness will prevent his being in' tho Senate on Monday, probably, und thus the finul bnrst-np will necessarily bo postponed. Does not. this look liken special interposition of Providence on behalf of the country. Seriously, however, this agitation is much to be regretted in one sense, though it may be the means of ultimate ly making the bond of union more firm. We expect a sanguinary fight at Tammany Hall to-morrow night, as the party who were driven from the Hall a few nights since, by Rynders and his gang, have called a meeting to express their dissent from the principles of the' Wilmot Proviso. As they intend to go armed, there will be a bloody fight, should utty interference take place. Probably some will maintain that tho authorities should prevent the meeting being held; but in my opinion, they are bound to protect those who call it, in their rights, and punish those who attempt to interrupt it. Things are come to a pretty pass indeed, when a free expression of opinion is to be checked by a party of rowdies. We have most extraordinary weather. Yes terday was rather lowering, with a cold wind; towards evening it snowed slightly; this Was followed by ruin and sleet, and du ing the night we hod a terrific storm of thunder, light ning and rain. To-day we have glorious wea ther again—bright, beautiful and balmy. The North Rivet-will bo navigable to Albuny to-day, it is exported,and business bouses down town are pressing for their spring trade. There are a few strangers from Charleston in town, but southern merchants have not yet began to trade northward. A good many jobbers from tho East are here, but. it will be a fortnight or three weeks yet before a fair start is made. A new daily paper is to be started here, to advocate the claims of Henry Clay. It is said that $10,000 have been raised, bytparties prin cipal!, who fought hard -against the nomina. tion of Gen. TaylIjr, but were, nevertheless, rewarded with offices. They are of course in tho background, but will not bo brought out to the light. Wu are yet without news from California, fo' which great anxiety is manifested. That story about mountains of quartz, in which gold exists in lurge quantities, lias set the people crazy, and should it be confirmed, my word for it, there will be an immense emigration from this place during the coming spring. A ball took place for the benefit of the New York Volunteers, on Wednesday night, which was well attended, and probably several hun dred dollars raised for them. Another one is to take place for the same purpose on the 15th March, Gen. Jackson’s birth day. Tho Com inittee is composed of two hundred persons It will fie a general affair, and will realize a large sum, I have no doubt. The Falcon left here yesterday for Chagres with a full compliment of passengers, e.nd the largest mail that ever left for California Among the passengers is one of the Deputy United States Marshalls of this District, who takes with him authority to arrest and bring liac?t to this city, the Cuptuin, Mute, and En gineer of the steamship New World. It is a curious fact that of tho 895 rich who joined the N. Y. Volunteers only 170, are now remaining, oral least can be accounted for. The sick of this number have been allowed $3 a week from tho fund raised by contributions, concerts, &e. Tho demonstration of Dry Good Clerks at the Tabernacle was well attended, and resolu tions were passed calling employers to close at 8 P. M. next summer, and to adopt the prac tice as soon as possible of closing at 7. The ladies had better take this matter and resolve not to go shopping at night; bless their hearts, that is the only way to produce the discreet re form. CIIARLE MAC.

Scott, Esq., the orator of the day, unfolded a small garment of the finest texture, which “the wind carried out upon his bosom as if it had been silk.” “This” said Mr. Scott, “is the blanket in which Gen. Washington, when an infant, was wrapped up on his being baptised into the Church of Christ. “Her?., too” said the speaker, holding up the insignia which were in his hands, “here is the Masonic scarf and apron, made at La grange by Madame de Lafayette,and presented byGen. Layfayette to his Masonic brother, Gen. Wash ington, and worn by him when officiating as master ofa Lodge in Alexandria.” Many oth er objects of interest connected with the histo ry of the wars, were also presented and inci dents related.
