MORNING NEWS. Air JOHN M. COOPER. W. T. THOMPSON, EDITOR TJERMS : DAILY PAPER $4 00 | TRI-WEEKLY $2 00 All New Advertisements appear in both papers. [Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.) New York, April 22d, 1850. I am sorry that I cannot afford your readers a little exciting food in this letter, hut inas much, as it would be necessary to draw upon my imagination for it, which would, doubtless, honor the draft in any reasonable quantity, 1 have too much regard for truth to do so. I . leave tbut to penny-a-liners, and less veracious correspondents. Talking of penny-a-liners, rominds mo that wo have none of that class of writers for tho press, in fuct, in this country, though careless and unreliable scribblers are frequently termed so. Hut in London, that vast worlfT in itself, men get a. good living by actually receiving a penny a lino for such arti cles ns the editor seos fit to publish. These generally consist of “ dreadful accidents," •awful conflagrations,” reports of various meetings out of the ordinary routine of the regular reporter*, etc., etc. Many a man who has since attained literary and legal fame, com menced by penny-a-lining for the London press. I well remember when Dickons was but an occasional reporter, and hud no opportunity of exhibiting his peculiarly strong descriptive powers, that nt length attracted public notice- Indeed, I doubt vory much il lie knew nt that time that h.r possessed them. lie was an un mitigated cockney, and talked incessantly, and whether it was owing to tho obtusenoss of his companions [ know not, bat certainly, I, for otto, never detected any indications of those wonderful powers that burst suddenly upon London in tho “ J'tcwick Papors." Ho had previously written soino sketches, which wore published, I think, in tho Herald, of "Places about Town," in which ho described celebrated taverns, and the company frequenting them— they were good natural but personal hits, and wefti not much liked, particularly by those who figured iu the sketches. It was these, however, that directed tho attention of the London publishers to him, and led to his engagement to illustrate cerlaian sketchos by Seymour, of the supposed adventures of Mr. Pickwick and friends; so you seo the idea is not original with Dickens. No matter, however, who originated it, it is a work which will bo read by succeed ing generations with gusto. I can ulways take it up, and no matter at what point I open it, enjoy, a hearty laugh. By tho by, tulkinr of books to mako you laugh, I believe I mentioned, in a former letter, one just issued by tho pro prietor of tho “Evening Mirror," culled "Tho Trippings of Tom Pepper,” by Harry Franco. As I only get tho “News" very occasionally, I don’t know whether you published it or not. Nevertheless, it, will bear another puff, anti a pretty strong one, too, for the book has consid erable merit. Harry is a wag, and in his humor runs a vein of quiet sarcasm, but so ingeniously covered that it is not generally observed— where the objects at which it is pointed are known, however, they cannot" be mistaken by the parties themselves, or by those acquainted with their peculiar characteristics ; ihe book must become immensely popular, for every body is delighted to see his neighbor shewn up. Bui even if they ure unknown, it does not detract from the enjoviibility of tho work, which is full of rich scenes, ludicrous descrip tions, and is, withal, a highly interesting narrative. The foreign news by the America, has crea ted sonio stir in the markets. Tho Cotton speculators smile again, and flour factors look Anticipating. Political news has a squally look ; but what I most desire to seo is, Russia and Prussia, have a regular Kilkenny fight; it would break up a most unholy alliance, and might lead to great results; probably to the restora tion W Poland. Napoleonjis playing a description game—he has a great deal to do, and a short time to do it in—but I dont think ho will ac complish his aims and be proclaimed Emperor. To be sure tho French people are a vacillating uatiotf f but then every revolution has had the same object, tho erection of a Republic, and I dont think they can be inducod to got up anoth er revolution to restore monarchy. the city continues healthy—the deaths lust week numbered 240, but no disease in. particu lar prevails. No news yet from California, but we expect it hourly. The Atlantic left here on Suturday for a' triul trip, and was to proceed as far as Cape Henry and along tho Delaware coast. - She was ex pected back this morning, but has not arrived yet. She went down the Bay slowly, and look ed remarkably well, but her speed was not test ed. I trust for the honor of America, that no accident will happen to her machinery. The Hermann took 135 passengers on Satur day, and a mail comprising 7063 letters for Bremen, and 5096 for England. There were $94,239 of specie shipped from tins port, du ring the past fortnight. Totul for tho present year, $657,548. Emijipnt* are becoming plentiful; about 3000 of them arrived here last week. The “ Torpedo trial” has gone oft' until the June term. Wilkes of the Police Gazette, lias sued Bennett of the Herald, for libel iu con nection with this affair, in publishing the affi davit of Bristol Bill, stating that “One-eyed Thompson” made the box, and he Bristol Bill and Wilkes conspired to fix it on Drury. They are all a precioqs set of scamps, and the.State Prison yawns for tliein. CllARLEMAC. Saturday Morning, April 27, 1850. LARGEST CIRCULATION! The Daily Morning News has now a circu lation larger than that of DOTH THE OTHER DAI- LIES TOGETHER, and consequently is the best advertising medium. We state tliis fact in justice to ourselves and for the benefit of the advertising public. Seo firPt P a 8 B I° r our rates °* advertising. JOgP Advertisements should be handed in at an early hour, to insure their uppeurmice in the paper ol the next morning. Fire Alarms.—It lias often occurred to us thut the practice of firing pistols for tho pur pose of communicating the alarm of fire, is a very bad one, and ought to he abandoned. 1 bis opinion was never morn forcibly impressed upon our mind, tlinn during the alarm on Wednesday night. On the first alarum, a strunget would have thought the town was in tho possession of Emperor SoLouquE or Billy Bowlegs, and would linve jumped into his trowsers with a vivid’prosentiinnnt of death by bullet, toma hawk or knife. Ilud such been tlie case—had an insurrection raged in our midst, our veteran citizens, those "native here and t.o the matter born," would not have suspected the fuct, un til they found themselves in the midst of the melee unprepared to meet the foe. Ever since we saw tlie elephant in tlie Florida wars, we have felt u sort of instinctive aversion to the report of fire-unns in tlie night—bullets or no bullets—and when we are startled from our slumbers, by the report of u—horse pistol with in ten feet of our chumber window, we are apt to think of any thing else but a peaceful confla gration. Besides, as appears by tho accident which occurred on the night of the last fire, there is danger in tlie practice. If the firing could bo confined to tho watchmen alone, the danger would not be bo great. But so long as they resort to the discharge of fire-urms to give the alarm, other persons will do tlie same, and in the haste and excitement of the moment, when guns and pistols riro caught up and fired, often without any knowledge of their contents, fired in the dark too, when it is impossible to use the proper precaution in directing them, there is great liability to accidents. ‘ If good lungs and the common watchman’s rutile, aided by the bells of the city, will not suffice to give the alarm, w hy, let our guar dians of tho night be supplied with tin-horns, French-liorns ram’s-horns, or any other wind instrument that may suit their taste, and let them blow until they crack their checks, or "fright the city from its propriety;” but let them save their ammunition for sterner and more legitimate service. • The Isabel.—This steamer the regularity of whose trips have been the theme of general admiration, waspreventod from communicating with this port, on Thursday owing to a strong wind from the N. E., which she encountered off our bar. By her arrival at Charleston, we are in re ceipt of our regular correspondence and com mercial loners, which will be found under their proper head. The Isabel left Havana on the 22d inst. She brings one hundred passengers—seventy cabin and thirty in the steerage. The following is a list of her passengers. Mrs. Gordon and children, Mrs. Hadden and two Mrs. Haddens, Miss L. Johnson, Antonio M. del Valle and family, John J. Taylor and family, Capt. Goo. J. Curtiss and Lady, Mrs. Hart and Miss Hart and servant. Messrs. Tomple, Ferrott, Hadden, Barry, Holden, Reed, Ross, Agirt, Mila Z. Minte Meyer.

Reed, Fairbanks, Sicnrt, Munne, Johnson, Curtis, I’orrez Taylor, Bentley, Murti, Winter, Symington Young, Bovill, Fowler, Curry and Servant, 30 in ijie Sieerage. The New York Commercial of tho 22d inst. contains the following letter from a gentleman on hoard the sleamet;,Georgia. It gives anoth er version of the failure of that vessel to con nect with this port. Our citizens have heard both sides of tha matter, and have, doubtless, formed their own conclusions. However, they may differ in opinion ns to whom tlie blame is attached. All agree that such disappointments ure excessively annoying, and should bo reme died in future: “Steamer Georgia, off Savannah, > April 16—74 P. M. £ “We are off from this port again without tlie California mail. “After receiving the mail from the Charles ton boat, which was cruising oft 1 shore some six mites for us, we proceeded on our wny for Savannah, and not finding the mail-boat outside, wo received a pilot and run in over the bar, and came to anchor within a mile of the mail steamer, which is as near as tho pilot would take us. No notice wbs taken of us, and as it was impossible for a boat from the ship to com municate, on account of the strong tide run ning, wo waited till this time, and have just got under way.” Later From St. Pomingo.—Intelligence from Port au Prince, to the 31st ult.,states that tho Emperor still delights in show and parade. Every morning he rides around the city, atten ded by the Govenor and some of the principal officers, and a body-guard of drnggoons. He is received by the citizens with uncovered heads as he passes. It is reported that he in tends lb march against the Spanish part of tho Island. lie has forced all tho young men of the place, (with few exceptions) to become sol diers. His Majesty "has bought two more large brigs, for ships of war, the Danish brig Otto und a Swedish brig. ' [From our Correspondent.) Havana, April 22,1850. About three weeks ago, several cases of sicknessg occur red at the Militury Hos pital, outside the city, which somewhat, re sembled Cholera, and since then there have been further cases ninong;tlie troops in that Es tablishment and in some of tho Barracks. A mong the rest of tlie population however, only twenty-seven cases have occurred during all that period, of a similar sicknees, many of which are considered very doubtful, while oth ers uresuppo.-od to have proceed from other, causes.—There is also u great difference of opinion on the part of medical men, ns to whether the eases nmong the troops were of Cholera or not. The environs of the Military Hospital in question are considered unhealthy, and the Barracks within the city were probably in general not quite so spacious ns might be desirable, during tlie hot weather. The'author- ities immediately adopted ve-y judicious measures by removing the troops to more rortmy quarters, and lmve likewise instituted many salutary regulations in regard to drainage, the elennsing streets, &c.. and have caused suita ble local nrangemonts to he made in the several districts of the city for tlie accommodation of indigent persons that might be attacked. These measures have been attended with great suc cess, ns tlie disease has been checked nmong tho soldiers,and the city nppeuis to be very healthy. Many well informed persons suppose tlie sickness which manifested itself to be Jail Fever or some malady of that, nature. It seems most probable that ilis not Cliolorn; or whatever it may he, its visitation is. not ip. the form of an Epidemic. The Ohio brought only about fifty passengers from Chagres. The mails from California had not reached the Isthmus when tlie Ohio left; therefore she udded nothing to our previous intelligence from that quarter. The Georgia took, us we understand, nearly eight hundred passengers to Chagies. We have no local or other news of importance to add. Yours respectfully, &c. A Broken Heart.—Coronor Reilly, of Bal timore, held an inquest on Wednesday last, over the body of John Wsddman, about 40 years of age, who had died suoaenly at his residence in that city. The deceased lmd no family but his wife. His wife had been sick for some time, and suffered very much from an ovarian tumor, for which un operation, hud been per formed. Her life could not be saved however, and she died about 2 o’clock on Sunday morn ing.* Wnldman was deeply grieved at his wife’s illness, and for several days past had scarcely tasted food. On Sunday, whilst conversing with several ladies, about noon, he suddenly fell from a chair in which he was sitting, and in a few moments wus a corpse. Two of tlie fe males in the room, overcome by their feelings at the sight, fainted, and were curried out; and still more singularly, two men who were sent for nnd came in hurried, were seized with vertigo, one fuinting and tlie other saved from it by being removed into the open air. The jury, ufeera patient investigation of tlie case, rendered a verdict of death from apoplexy.” (LIP’ We see by the Charleston papers, that next week will close the Theatrical season in that city. Tlie Managers have made some ac cessions to their corps, and are about to pro duce the popular dramatic sketch, entitled Dombey and Son, nnd the petite domestic com edy of Major Jones' Courtship, or Plantation Scenes in Georgia. The company will return to this city on the closing of tho theatre in Charleston. St. Louis is a rocky place. The last Journal of Commerce contains the account of two rencontres in the market place of that city, in one of which a woman cow-hided a man for aspersing her fair fume—in tlie other, a man for bestowing u kick upon a Woman, wus by her knocked down with a “ rock.” From Chagres.—Tlie N. O. papers have date.- from Chngres to the 9th inst. Tlie steamship Philadelphia arrived ut Cha gres on the evening of the 8th. in eleven days from New-York ; had encountered heavy gales off Charleston, lost foremast and bowsprit, and sustained other damage. Tlie steamship Telegraph was detuineri by tho U. S. Consul.on the plea that she wus not seaworthy. The officers and crew had signed a protest, and a survey was to he made by tlie engineers and officersjof the stenmship Ohio, which was hourly expected. EjP The Republican learns by advice re: ceived from Mr. Sheriff Prendergast, now ic England, that tlie Schr. Abel, on which the absconding Cashier of the Rail-Road Bank took passage had not arrived ut her port of des tination when the last steamer sailed. Claims on Portugal.—A letter from Lon don to the Philadelphia North American, says that the claims of tho American government against Portugal continue to be noticed by the correspondents of the London Journals. The correspondent of the Times under date of Lis bon, March 29th, writes that tlie President’s message has had tho effect of making the gov ernment look into these claims. Count Tojal has proposed a reference to some other pow er, and furijished such documents as will hard ly allow . Congress to vote coercivo measures without accepting the proposed arbitration. The French Republic.—-The French De mocratic Republicans in New York have de termined to celebrate the aonivenm-y of the proclamation of the French Republic, on tlie 4th proximo. Washington Gosaiii. I ho Washington correspondent of the Balti more Patriot, tvriting under date of 21st inst., soy*:— The Gnlphin Committee are still iig session, laboriously investigating the “factsand circum stances" in connection with the allowance of the claim. It is runfbrod that it is tlie inten tion of tho Committee, which is composed of a majority of Locos, to endeavor to implicntd three members of tlie Cabinet in tho transac tion. This rumor does not mention names. 1 lie Compromise Committee wore in session on Saturday, which promises an enriy termina tion at their labors. It is whispered that a re port, which it is supposed will do substantially adopted, is already iu the hands of Mr. Clav. If so, it may be brought in, and tlie discussion on its adoption muy commence before tlie re turn of the I unernl Committee. I ho correspondent of the New York Com mercial, under date of 22d inst., snys :— 1 he Nicaragua treaty it would appear, is not, after all, definitively arranged. It is not signed but it is believed that all its essential provisions are agreed upon, and that it will soon bo con cluded. It is conceded on all sides that the British Minister near this Government had full authority to net forhis Government. I here are now threo committees of investi gation in active it not successful operation. 1 he first is conducting the inquiry in relation to the Galphin claim ; tlie second is arranging a statement of the difficulty between Messrs Benton and 1' oote, and tho third lias in chavge an examination into certain charges against tlie door keeper of tho House, Mr. Horner, which lmve been set on foot I presume, with u view to oust him from his office, und to place therein a Democrat. The same writer says— It. is a prevailing opinion that the President and his Cubinet officers agree entirely with Mr. Phelps and Mr. Webster, in the opinion expres sed by those distinguished Senators yesterday, thut the select committee of thirteen called the compromise committee, will not be able to effect anything uselul or satisfactory to the country. The main objections taken to this committee are of a character To have great weight at the North. They are that the subject of admission of California 1ms been unnecessarily and im properly connected with tlie slavery controver sy, and that the committee has been constitut ed in a manner not fairly to represent tho feel ings and opinions of both principal divisions of the Union. Further Intelligence by the Steamship Ame rica. The utmost exertions are being used night and day to complete the Arctic expedition by the 24th of April, relays o( workmen being em ployed upon the two steam vessels, which are progressing very fast. It is confidently expected that the ilotilhi will clear the Shetland by the first week in May. It is probable that tlie success of the Social ists, at tho late Election in France, may change the situation of the Pope. Many suppose that he will go to Ancona, and at once place himself under Austrian protection. Tho Madrid Gazette publishes a qovtil decree granting tho Minister of Marine'a supplemen tary credit of 30,000,000 of rials, applicable for the immediate construction of six steamers and two transports. Tho frigate Esperanza, 44 guns, was under sailing orders at Cadiz for Havana. At Madrid tho suine alarm exists on the ques tion of Culm; arul it is even said that if any real danger be found to exist of a separation lioin tlie mother country, the Captain-General of the island has orders when matters come to the worst, to let loose the slave population, and set fire to tlie towns rather than let it fall into the hands of the Americans, The reports of approaching reconciliation with England, are confirmed. The French nowspapers arc filled with ac counts of serjeafits and corporals who lmve been reduced to the ranks, and sent to Algeria for voting for the Socialists. The President of the Republic whilst on his road to Vincennes, April 1st, was insulted in tlie Fuuburg St. Antoine liy a number of drunken men, who followed him for some dis tance, and used menacing gesticulations. Letters from Mods state that a terrible ex plosion lias taken place in one of tba coal mines, by which seveutv-five workmen were hilled. A Constantinople letter of tlie 21 st contains the important intelligence thut Russia, in dr- fiifnce of the terms of the treaty she lias so loudly promised to fulfil, still keeps military occupation of the Damibian provinces, holding there an army of 35,000 men. Diplomatic re lations with Austria had not been renewed. The steamer Teviot, lately arrived at South ampton, with the West India and Pncfio mails. She had on freight £946.878; British coin, value £896; 500 ounces gold dust, 859 ounces old silver plating, platina, value £180 sterling. Of the specie on board, about $200,000 is in gold dust from California, received via Pana ma. Spain bids fair to rival California. Gold has been found on tlie banks and in the sands of the Douro, in Grenada. The inhabitants of that region ore engaged in digging and washing for the precious metal. The latest accounts from the Cape are to the 17th of January, at which period the long ex. pected final decree of Earl Grey had not ar rived out. In the mrnntime tho colonists con tinued to.manifest a quiet, uniform, but firm and resolute determination to resist the funner or der of his Lordship by every legitimate means within their power. Several ships under temperance rules have arrived at Aden, their crews suffering severe ly from scurvy. The medical officer in charge suggests to charterers and owners of vessels the propriety of allowing a portion of spirits daily, and that the quality of the provisions supplied to the ships be strictly attended to. According to u recent Parliamentary paper, there were, in the year 1849, 42,798 acres of land in Great Britain under the cultivation of hops.

Tlie portals of the tomb have terrors to those who have used this world as if it were their abiding plow forever. But to the humble Christian, rejoicingin the promises of n merciful Saviour, those portals disclose only a pathway to eternal file—a future fellowship and communion with Saints in Heaven. When tmj child, doated on for its infant prattle, or the beloved boy, winfting by his bright and hourly developed genius, more and more, our unpurchasea love, yield* to death, and tlie pallor of his parents exhibits the desolation which has stricken the parents’ bosoiu, there is a grief which oppresses the iieart, but the placid smile of tho Christian mother, like the ewj after an April shower, illumes the countenonce. and causes bereaved parents to feel a joy, that their chit, is among those, of whom the Saviour said, “Of sMk is tho Kingdom of Heaven.” But wllel? oue, who during her fife of pure and ex emplary piety, has illustrated the filial excellent* o> iui affectionate daughter, the sweet and beautiful it tuclnneutof an only sister, and 1 the unwavering de votedness of a confiding wife, blended with a molber * holy love for an only child,—when such aoneu r® led to her last, her eternal homo—we who 8ur "™' feel that though lier’s ia not a sleep eternal, we pj been deprived of a friend whosesmile often irradisw our pathway through this vale of teal's.
