(Correspondence of the Daily Morning News,]..
New York, April 19,1050.
1 am happy to say that the weather gives
some Indications of moderating; thus far we
have bad no spring, and. the ‘'merry month of
May” will have to {turn old winter out, for I soe
no other way of getting rid of him. Spring
fashions have been but little appreciated this
year; in fact, no diffetence it perceptible in the
outward clothing of the belles of Broadway,
from that worn in January. Here and there
you may meet with a daring damsel spring-ly
decorated, and sacrificing comfort, and perhaps
life itself, at the shrine of her vanity; but such
instances are few and far between. When will
the females of America learn to dress properly
for the street! In England a lady don’t flaunt in
satins of dazzling brilliance, and pick her way
in thin shoes and silk stockings through the
public promenades; or if so, she would at once
be set down as one of those frail sisters, whose
meretricious charms are exposed for the basest
purposes. No, English women have their
promenading dress, their carriage dress, their
dinner dress, etc., etc.; and a lady in that
country is always distinguished in the street by
the exceeding neatness and plainness of her
attire. It is not strange, that Englishmen, on
first coming to New York, set down two-thirds
of the women they meet as improper characters;
because they are sailing under false colors, and
thus deceive those who are unacquainted witli
this peculiar custom of the country. Would
that they would reform it altogether, for it is a
“vile custom.”
Opera-dom is in a state of excitement, ren
dered so by the new troupe. There is one
eomfort at Nibl&s, that you are not compelled
to go in full dress—white vests, cravats, and
gloves are not indispensable, end ladies’ busts
are not necessarily exposed to a point of im
modesty, as they frequently were at the Astor
Place last winter. At one time there seemed
to^p quite a rivalry in this respect, until some
nf the most intensified fashionability made
model artiste exhibitions positively derfent by
comparison. The Opera of Atillu did’nt draw,
and has;baen withdrawn, and last night Lucre-
sia Borgia was produced, but with only a
seeonda donna Signora Bosio. It was a mag
aificent performance, however, throughout.
-Next week the new tenor Snlvi is to appear
with Stefanoni, etc., in La Favorita. The
Company has attracted very numerous au
diences, averaging, I should think, from *1500
to $1809 per right.
We are surprised at no* receiving the foreign
news by the America, now out thirteen days.
The Herman leaves here to-morrow for South
ampton and Bremepj over a hundred pusson-
gers b»;i secured their berths a few days since.
Among them is our talented townswoman Mrs.
Ann S. Stephens, Editress of the Lady’s National
Magazine, who goes to Europe for pleasure and
observation, the benefit of which we shall enjoy
in her writing* hereafter.
We rather expect to receive California news
to the 15th March, but no steamer is telegraph
ed below at present.
The new steamer Atlantic leaves on her first
trip, to-morrow week. She is now nearly com"
pleted, and will.make a trial trip next week
was intended to take her to Washington, but
it has been abandoned. Imagination cannot
conceive anything so magnificent as ibis steam
ship. Tbe pilot of one cf the Cunard line was
en board a day or two since, and was asked his
opinion of her. ‘‘Put in her one of Napier's
engines,” said he, “and she will beat the
world.” Why cannot we manufacture engines
equal to Napier? I contend that we can—we
have the material, the workmen—hut we don’t
pay the same price—the manufacturers are
screwed down to the lowost figure, and con
sequently the engines have generally proved de
fective. Let me instance the Washington,
whose disaafars at the outset of her career, de.
stroyed public confidence in her; and site has
en a partial loss to her owners.
There is a rumor that a large quantity of arms
and ammunition jias been seized in this city, in
tended for the Cuban expedition, os it is sup
posed ; though there is no proof of the fact.
Persons having charge of them however, ecied
rather suspiciously, and so the authorities walk

by way of the lakes.
It is expected that the libel suit brought by
Mr. Fry, the former Manager of the Italian Ope

let Bennett, have a sofa for the season, as it
would injure the property in its vicinity, and
hence the repaved abuse and scurrility in the
Herald, against Fry, for which he seeks to ob

EF” We are indebtod to a commercial friend
for the following despatch, received yesterday.
New-York, April22.
Cotton.—Our market ia one-quarier to
tlirec-eightlis higher since the arrival of the
America. The sales to-dav are 1000 bales.
Union Society—The following gentlemen
were yesterday elected officers of this Society
for the ensuing year:
Solomon Cohen, President.
John W. Anderson, Vice President.
Edward G. Wilson, Secretary.
Joseph 8. Fay, and
A. R. Lawton, Stewards.
Members of the Board.—Edward Padel-
fohd, Thomas Purse, John Murchison, A.
Minis, A. A. Smets.
We learn that the meeting of the society was
well attended, and that sixteen new members
were admitted.
In the evening the Annual Address was deliv
ered before the society and a respectable as
sembly of citizens, in the Second Baptist
church, by the Rev. Mr. Tustin, pastor of
that Church. The Rev. Dr. Preston opened
the exercises of the evening with an appropri
ate prayer. We were much gratified with the
discourse, from which we learned, that about
1,100 orphan boys, have been educated and
supported by the society, which bus expended
upwards of $100,000, in this work of benevo
lence.
The U. Si Mint.—Tile Increased Capabi-
Ip—California Gold.—The published receipts
of California gold by each steamar, it would
seem, are much above the true mark. It was
stated that by ;he last arrivals from Chogres,
bringing the San Francisco mails and specie
shipments of March 1st, upwards of three mil
lions of gold dust were received at New York.
Col. Snowden, the Treasurer of the United
States Mint in Philadelphia, informs the North
American that by these arrivals ho has received
only one million four hundred thousnnd dollars,
and that it is not at nil likely that there is more
than from one to two hundred thousand dollars
worth of du9t remaining in private hands. From
the statements furnished by Col. S. we are ena
bled to make up the following table, showing
the total receipts of California gold at tho Phil
adelphia and New Orleans Minis up to the
present time :

Benton and Foote.
We find in our Northern exchanges, much
comment upon the recent brawl in the Senate,
between Messrs. Fo»te and Benton, and we
are much gratified to observe that these editors
and writers, who, from their proximity to the
scene hava tho best .opportunity of knowing
tbe true state of the case, very unanimously
exhonorate Mr. Foote from blame. All, Whig
and Democrat, agree in reprobating tho occur
rence which has hroughi disgrace upon that
once dignified body, the American Senate,
but with an impartiality huujprable to the press,
the blame is laid where it rightfully belongs,
upon the shoulders of that compound of arro
gance and egotism, Thomas Hart Benton.
It is well known at Washington, that Benton,
with his characteristic arrogance, had threat
ened Mr. Foote, if he ever e.-mded tp him
personally in debate, and yet on the day on
which the difficulty occurred, he had placed
himself in an attitude in which it was next to
impossible for the latter gentleman to avoid
replying to him. Mr. Foote had the alterna
tive of either permitting the Missouri Bison,
as Benton has been appropriately called, to
ride rough-shod over him nnd his cherished
measure of reconciliation, then before the Scn-
ute, or incur th.i risk of his threatened ven
geance by vindicating his measure as became an
independent Senator. A gentlemen of spirit, he
chose the latter course, and as he had a right
to do, prepaied himself for the consequences.
The result is before the country, and we think
we huzurd nothing in saying that he will be sus
tained by all honorable men. Mr. F. is a small
man, enfeebled by ill health, while Benton is
robust and powerful. The scene that has ta
ken pluce is to be deplored ; but we doubt if it
will be more hurtful in its influence upon the
legislation of the country, than the triumph ofa
bully would have been, had Benton succeeded
in brow-heating and awing Mr. Foote from the
exercise of bis lights us a Senator.
This is the second time that Benton has
found his match. His first memorable exploit,
was in the chamber of a hotel in Nashville—his
lust was in tho Senate chamber. On the first
occasion, he encountered a Jackson, on the last
a Foote. In both instances he came off like
Joe Bowers’s bully—second best. We trust
the lesson ho has just received, may prove as sal-
utury as did the first, it will be remembered
that he became remarkably docile after his af
fair with Gen. Jackson, whose subservient sup
porter and defender, lie afterwards becumc.
He may yet have the honor of atoning for his
attempted outrage upon Gen. Foote, by a simi
lar sycophantic servitude.
GP A gentleman named Gibson, from New
York, was robbed at tbe Park House in Orange.
N. J., on Sunday evening of last week, of his
pocket book, containing between $8,000 and
$9,000 in checks and draffs, and some $40 in
bank bills. A negro waiter was arrested and
confessed the theft, and that he had thrown the
book and paper's into the sink. '

Tho North American add s tho following im
portant statement as to the shortly to be in
creased capacity of the Mint :
The Mint in this city is now coining at the
rate of two millions per month. A few weeks
ago an application was made to Congress lor an
appropriation of some twenty thousand dollars,
in order to make such alterations and ad
ditions to the melting, refining, and assaying
departments of the Mint as would increase its
capacity for coinage. The Deficiency Appro
priation Bill, which passed the Senate a few
days since, (it had previously pnssed the House,)
provides for the sum required, and the altera
tions and additions spoken of will now be
made. As soon os they are completed, the offi
cers of the Mint are quite confident of their
ability to furnish coin to the amoutitof three mil
lions five hundred thousand dollars per month,
or forty-two millions per annum. Great as
the present supply of California gold is, nnd
great as it may be when the quartz stamping
machines are fairly in operation, it is not at all
probable that our Mint, with tbe proposed ad
ditions, will be worked up to the full capacity
for several years to come, at least.
The Now Orleans Branch Mint is again coin
ing. Operations wer > only suspended a few
days, in consequence of the difficulty in finding
a suitable successor to the late Treasurer.
The Treusurer of the Philadelphia Mint is
now prepared to pay certificates of gold depos
its up to, anti including, No. 1046.
Tie Row In tbe Senate.
Tho Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser, thus speaks of the iate
flare up in the Senate :
Your readers will have been made aware
that the tumult was begun, after n storm) and
exciting debate of four hours, by . Mr. Benton’s
leaving his own seat qnd advancing towards
that of Mr. Foote, of Mississippi, while the
latier w^s addressing the Senate.
There seems some difference of opinion ns
to Mr. Benton's intention. Some observers of
the proceeding believe that he had no design
to assail or violently interrupt Foote. Un
fortunately I cannot give Mr. Bentun the bene
fit of a doubt. He had very shortly before, in
re-offering his diiatoryinstructions to the propos
ed committee upon the slave?-) - question, looked
threuteningiy and defiantly towards Mr. Foote.
But immediately after Mr. F., in the remarks
he was making, had mude a reference to this
movement, and not a disrespectful allusion
either, Mr. Benton rose from his seat with a
suddenness and violence which produced so
great a crash in the Chamber that I, who saw
the confusion on the floor, but could not for
the moment see Benton, supposed that the gal
lery hud given way directly over his seat. A
glass tumbler or two and an inkstand and sand
box, that happened to be upon his desk, were
thrown upon the floor and dashed to pieces.
But more than that, several of Mr. Bo->ton’s
personal friends, as! the elder and younger
Senators Dodge nnd Dr. Gwin, of California,
endeavored to prevent his going at all toward
Mr. Foote’s seat. But ho did go and so ra
pidly that when Foote sprang from his desk to
draw and present his pistol to better advantage,
I thought both he and Benton were flying frem
the falling galleries.
Foote in his justification said be thought
Benton wus approaching to commit an assault
upon him, and believed he was armed for his
destruction ; and that under the influence’ of
those apprehensions he hnd drawn a weapon
only to protect bis own life. I regret, for the
credit of Senator Benton, that there is good
reason for believing this assertion altogether
coirect.
The phrenzy of Mr. Benton seemed more
like tho rage of a wild beast when brought
to bay by the hunters and the hounds.
Mr. Benton’s political opponents, however,
assert their belief that Benton deliberately
sought and brought about thispersonul collision
with Foote, for the purpose of preventing a de
cision upon the proposiiion of the latter, to
raise a select committee to consider the sub
ject of the admission of California.—Circum
stances lend great color to this charge also.
Kiss Cotillions.—The Editor of the Wind
sor Journal gives us an account of another new
dance. He says the Professors of Dancing in
New York, have recently introduced a new
style of cotillion, called the “Kiss Cotillion,"
the peculiar feulure of which is, that you kiss
the Judy as you swing corners. The Editor
has great objections to the amusement, but
would'ut mind waving them so far as to
“swing corners” now and then, in die new
cotillion. We have no doubt that if introduced,
the new figure would be vastly popular, and
extensively practised.
The Court of Equity, at Annapolis, in Lieut.
Alvarado Hunter’s case, prohibit the publica
tion of the testimony, for the present. They
have adopted a rule keeping all the witnesses
even Hunter himself, from hearing tho testimo
ny. They say it would defeat their purpose to
allow any publication'. “
From the Rto Grande. — The New Or
leans Picayune of the 17th inst., lias accounts
from Brownsville to the 10th inst.
Tlie citizens of that place held a town meet
ing on tbe 7tli inst. to adopt measures to pro
tect the valley from the incursions of the In
dians who wore becoming vory troublesome.
The Sentinel of tho 10th savs that six or
eight days previous Napoleon P. Kemp, a man
protty well known in that part of the country,
was murdered by a party of Indians on the
road from Ringgold Barracks to Laredo.
Messrs. Downey and Pratt, who arrived at
Biownsvillo on the 7lh inst., slates that on Sat
urday, the 5th, while some throe miles’ ride
this side of Reynosn, on the Texas side of the
river, they found themselves suddenly suround-
ed by a party of Indians, supposed to number
about twonty-five. Their only means of escape
was by charging through the enemy, which they
luckily effected without injury to themselves.
Mr. Downey feels confident that he killed one
of the Indians.
From Yucatan.—The N. O. Picayune has
dates from Merida and Cumpeuchy to the 6th
inst.
The!Merida Boletin Official of the 4th inst.
&uys thut the lust news from the theatro of war
brings information that the rebels have re
sumed operations, and are taking the initiative
in the campaign.
The Yucatan papers, as usual, are full o'f the
reports of skirmishes, marches, and counter
marches, in which manoeuvres it appears the
whites were generally successful. Capt. Vidal,
in two expeditions from Valladolid, about
March 20, killed 157 savages, and rescued four
white prisoners. On the 24th ult., 14 Indians
were captufed at Kaim.
On the 25th the insurgents in considerable
numbers attacked the town of Cenotillo, arid
advancing to the public square, burnt, a number
of new houses. Lieut Correa collected a few
men, and alter a short contest succeeded in re
pulsing the assailants with the loss of threo kill
ed and many wounded. Tho Yucatecos seem
to be thoroughly exhausted by their long and
wearisome strugglowith the rebels.
Where Dr. Webster's Money came from.
A writer in the Boston Herald Monday makes
the following statement:
It will be recollected that no fact so hardly
pressed the Professor in his trial, as that he was
quite unable to tell whence came tho money
with which he paid Dr. Parkman. That fact
is now explained. Mr. Webster has f-iven the
world a clue to it. It was us follows : Dr.
Parkman went to Cambridge and dunned aud
abused Drs. Webster in tbe presenue of his
wife, a short time before theduy of the' 1 alleged
murder. It was the first knowledge she had
ever had that her husband was at all embar
rassed in his pecuniary relations with Dr.
Parkman. She knew with what remorseless
severity Dr Parkman ever pursued his debt
ors, and she feared at once that the social stan
ding of herself and family would be compro
mised. Her womanly fears made a terrible
impression upon her mind.
She took her husband soon after, and told
him thut in a drawer in her room she had near
ly $700 that she had accumulated during th
ten years lust past, from smull sums she had
received from her friends at Fayal and other
places. She told him to take this and liqui
dute his debt as speedily as possible. Oh how
unfortunate that, this faetwaa not developed on
his trial! Nobody but his wife knew it, to he sure
but it might at b ast have been stated by Dr.
Websier. But the feelings of pride which led
his wife to make over the money to her hus-
band, caused thorn both to keep back the fact,
relying confidently, as they did, upon an or.
quittal, from the^weakness of the Government’s
cuse.
That Mrs. Webster had this money and did
not come forward to testify to the fact, is even
more preposterous than the assertion of Dr.
Webster, that he hail saved itupin small sums,
unknown to every body *• but himself. Tho
statement tlint Dr. Parkman was at Cambridge
the day before the minder is true, as kb are
well informed; Dr. W. was not at home, and
the merciless creditor saw his wife, and to her
enlarged in characteristic terms upon tho ras
cality of her husband. Thereupon be was in
vited to that fatal meeting at the College from
which he never came away.— Tribune.
Miss Webster’s Letter.—The following
Card has appeared in relation to Miss Web
ster's letter, recently published :
A Card.—A letter of Miss Harriot Webster
has been published, and hag gone and is going
the rounds of the newspapers, contrary to her
expectaiious or consent. The letter to which
it was an answer, was from a town in New
Hampshire, and from- a person wholly un
known to her or her family The letter con
tained strong expressions of sympathy and
kindness for Dr. Webster and his family, &c.,
and requested an answsr. Gratitude as well as
politeness, dictated an answer, of which she
und her family legret the publicity. Those pa
perswhich have published it, are requested to
insert this card.
Cambridge, April 17,1850.
£3P Rumor says “that tho King of Hanover
has presented a gold goblet, decorated with ants
eggs, to Jenny Lind,—ants’ eggs being deemed
the favorite food of nightingales.”
J. M. Barrett.—“The Spartan” denies
most positively that the health of this individ
ual, tho report of whose death we mentioned a
few days since, was injured by imprisonment,
as is falsely alleged, and asserts that “as he
stalked forth from the comfortable lodgings
with which he hud been furnished, ho looked
much better every way, when he,, came out of
prison than when ho went in.” It also de
clares the opinion that the rumor of Barrett’s
death is unfounded, and thut it has been propa
gated for the purpose of evading the payment
of the bond of one thousand dollars given for
hisappeuranco.
Another Written . Indian Language.—
The Hartford Couranl mentions that Maugwu-
daus, a chief of the Chippewa Indians, now-
on a visit to that city, has in preparation a plan
of a written language for the Chippewas like
that formed for thd Cherokees. His idea is
to have written and printed character*; which
ho will invent himself t» represent syllabic
sounds i and he hopes if ho can obtain the ne
cessary types, replace inducements bofrifc* tbe
toinds of the young, and even the old of his
tribe, to learn to peed their own fenjuiige,'

The Committee is distinguished for its abili -

We are glad that Mr. Clay is made chair-
man of the committee, an honor due not less
to his commanding influence and distinguished
patriotism, than for the exertions he has made
to have this great and vital question brought to
a final and equitable adjustment. We regret
that Mr. Webster’s name was lecorded
among tho opponents of the measure.
Coincidence.—A writer in the Nationg
Intelligencer, after mehtioning the fact that the
Hon. Hohn Quincy Adams died at the National
Capitol, says :—
“The fact is worthy of note that the gliding
in which Mr. Calhoun died was built for the'
use of the- Congress of the United States, ani
was used as the Capitol during the rebuilding
of that edifice, after its destruction by the Brit*
ish troops; and therefore, the walls within
which he drew his lost breath have often
echoed to his voice, os poured fourth in the
defence of his principles, in that rapid torrent
of eloquence and logical reasoning, which
though it might fail to convince, never failed’
to electrify his hearers."
Accident at Sea.—The brig Trojan, Capt.
Coults from Philadelphia, arrived at New Or
leans on the 17th, having sprung a Irak at sen,
arid caried away both top-masts close to the
cap, in a whirlwind. Two. men W. Rogers
and James Randall went overboard with the
riging and masts, but were recovered by the
extraordinary exertions of Capt- Coults. Ras-
dall was severely hurt but is recovering in
the N. O. Hospital.

The Supposed Comet.—Thenebulousbody
recently announced as having been seen on
<i voyage through the South Atlantic Oiieun,
and supposed at Washington to be a comet,
may prove to be a fixed Nebula, as the Boston
Traveller says letters have been received at the
Observatory at Cambridge, from Mr. Maclear,
the director of the Observatory at the Cape of
Good Hope, dated a month later than the time
when tho comet was reported to have been seen
ia the Southern hemisphere; nnd in which al
though Mr. Maclear goes considerably into de
tail in astronomical news, he makes no mention
of a comet.
IdSP The time of sunrise depends upon the
latitude, and if you allow yourself loo much lati

never find the time of sunrise at all. A visit
to a ball where the dancing is kept up with the

you to the exact hour of sunrise.
