MORNING NEWS. w BY JOHN M. COOPER. T. THOMPSON, EDITOR terms: DAILY PAPER $4 00 | TRI-WEEKLY $2 00 All New Advertisements appear in both papers. The Toiling Classes In Englnml. Great Britain has been many years advancing in power and wealth. A commerce of great prosperity, a productiveugiiculturo, and won derful manufacturing resources have prodigious ly increased its integral wealtu. But how has it been divided 1 By nothing like the equal or proportionate ratio of the population that acquired it. Vast fortunes huve been aecumu- latod and possessions been multiplied in the hands of the lords of the soil. Great proprie tors have increased, because surplus cupitnl has been constantly growing, but the slender inheritance of the poor has as constantly dete riorated, and the ranks of indigence nnd miso- ry become every day more crowded. The whole tendency of things has been to nccu mutate the wealth of the rich and aggravato the poverty of the poor. Thus the interests of classes of the people are becoming every day more widely separated, and the privileged few virtually constitute and govern the coun try. Other inhabitants of that magnificent empire are but mere contributors to its magnif icence—an amount of physical force necessary for its glory and greatness, but ltaviug little rami! interest to be provided for by it, iTiurt any other equal quantity of animal life, which is part of the elements of its strength. Of course the inevitable consequence of this state of things is a tendency downward in tho condition of tho great muss of the people ; and few of the comparatively happy millions who enjoy the liberal fruits of their labor in this laud of the ftce, have any adequate con ception of tho squallid wretchedness of that condition. Seine loathsome nnd repulsive pic tures of tho misery of the laboring classes have recently boon revealed by the London Morning Chronicle in a series of articles, run ning through several months, and compris ing minute descriptions of their manner of life, occupations, habits, modes of thinking, &c., both in the cities and the rural districts. These papers, it has been truly said, form an epoch in the history of statistical research. Never before were drawn so faithful, minute, and impressive pictures of common life, in the mass of a people. They show us the inside of the houses nnd workshops, the artisan with Lis hammer, the seamstress with her needle, the sailor at his ropes—how they struggle with poverty, and what they think of themselves and the world around them. Some of these descriptions are most appalling, and surpass everything within the conception of an inhabi tant of the United States, in relation to pro longed and hopeless toil, suffering and wretch edness. We subjoin, for the contemplation of our readers—who scarcely know how fortunate they are in having been born undor free and beneficent institutions—a brief picture of the condition of the agricultural classes. The details are truly melancholy. It is the sketch of a case in real life—that of a laborer and his family in Wiltshire : Tho laborer had had 8s. a week, hut he was then only in receipt of 7s. He had- seven children, the oldest of whom, a girl, was in her eighth year. Two of his children had been at “dunce’s schoolbut they were not then at tending it, simply because he could not afford the 4d a week, which had to be paid for their education. To ascertain now far ho was really incapable in this respect, I requested him to detail to me tho economy of his household for a week, taking his earnings at 8s. Tho follow ing is tho substance of the conversation, dis carding for the reader’s sake, the portions in which the names are given. When are your wages paid ? On Saturday night, but often only onco a fortnight. What do you do with the money on receiv ing it I I first lay by my rent, which is a shilling a week. I then go to the grocer’s and lay in something for Sunday and tho rest of the week. I buy a little tea, of which I get two ounces for 6d. Sugar is cheap, hut I cannot afford it. We sometimes sweeten the tea withs a little treacle, hut generally drink it unsweet ened. Go you purchaso ar,y butcher meat ! Gen erally lorn Sunday we bu^ a hit of bacon. How much 1 It is seldom that I can afford more than halfa pound. Half a pound among nine of you? Yesilis but a mere tuste, but wo have not oven that the rest of tho week. It costs mo about 5d. Do vou buy your bread,or make it at home? Wo hay it. Wo hove not fire enough to mako it at home, or it would be a greut saving Wo make it last one way or another, for two weeks. Your fuel, therefore, costs you about 8d. a week ? It will. Is there any thing else you have? Wo buy n little salt hotter sometimes, which wo can get from fi^d. to lOd. a pound. We aro obliged, of course, to take the cheapest, “ and renllv, sir, it is sometimes hardly fit to • easo a wagon with.” But your money is already gone; lmw do you pay for your butter? It is not always that we have it, and wo can only have it by stinting ourselves in other things. You havo said nothin? about your clothing > how do you procure that? But lor tho ug t wages we get during the harvest tune, we could not get it at all. , How long does the time last when you get high wages 7 About ten weeks, am ut wliut we then get, I do not know how wo co i c get on at ail. , . , From this recapitulation it must certainly appear a mystery to the reader how they get on as it is. The weekly expenditure, in our view, is as follows, tho family being nine, and the weekly receipts 8s.: Rent Tea - Bacon r Bread ’■? „ s. d. 1 0 0 6 0 5 Soda, Soap, &c., .. Fuel Total . 0 5 1 8 8 0 nnd character. An artist ought always to act „p 0 n fixed ideas of the subject ho is treating in other wordB, he should have a proper con ception of it, or his labors will be abortive '1 ho above has been my conception, it is for you, and all those who have so kindly and gonerous- lv united with you in this project, to judge how- fur I hnvo been successful in forming nnd cxc cuting the design of Mr. Calhoun's statue. I have been a long while about it, but tho sub ject lias never been absent from tny mind. Upon no other work have I ever spent so much time and labor, nor is it likely that I ever shall again—for it is the first full length drnpod stat ue tiiat I have ever made. Yours, most sincerely HIRAM POWERS. II. Gnurdjn, E?q. BAVAKTETAIHlB Frldny morning, May JO, 1850. LARGEST CIRCULATION! B-BP The Daily Morning News 1ms now a circu- Won larger than that of BOTH THE OTHER DAI- LIES TOGETHER, and consequently is the best advertising medium. We state this fact in justice to ourselves and for the benefit ot the advertising public. (c-gr* g ee first p n g e for our rates of advertising. Advertisements should lie handed in at an early hour, to insure their appeurance in the paper of the next morning. Maryland Factories.—Tho Baltimore Clipper says that the Gran i to factory at Elli- entt’s Mills, in thut State, will stop operations in a few days for ono month, and then deter mine ns to their future course. The Union Fuctory has reduced the wages of its operatives 20 per cent-, nnd will continuo to run full time. ThePalnpsco lias commenced to run half time; and it is expected the Thistle will either begin to run halftime shortly or reduce wages. This course, it is said, is rendered necessary by the high prico of cotton, tho largo importations of English and French goods, and the impossibil ity of selling tho accumulated stocks on hand except at a ruinous rate. Sub-Treasury in Boston.—Tho Traveller learns that there are now $2,100,000 in the vaults of the Custom House in Boston city a larger sum than wus ever before on hand at onco Daniel Revenel Esq., was on Thursday unanimously re-elected, by the directors, l’rosi- Ourious Effect of Fear.—The pu S9 i, m of fear, 6ays tho Earl of Slmftsbury, determines the muscles of the knees, which are instantly ready' to perform thoir motion, by taking up the legs with incomparable celerity,in order to remove the body out of harm’s tvuy. A Telegraph to California.—Mr. O’. Reily announces in tho St. LouIb Republican :i project of telegraph line from that city to tj a „ Francisco. He proposes thut tho government shall establish u line of stockades at suitable distances all along the route, which shall serve as telegraphic stations, and at tho same ttnte afford protection 'to emigrants to California and facilitate ilm transmission of the inaiis. 1’rofaneness and Death.—A Western Missionary communicates the following: “Mr. came into bis house one morn- ing, ufter feeding his cattle—was perfectly —sat down in his chair, and begun to curse hi- family with horrid oaths. His elder son three times entreated him to stop swearing, but imh successive time he swore more profanely. Th,- third timo he used tho most blasphemous Ian- dent of the Plunters and Mechanic’s Bank of guago he could invent; but before-lie iinishe. Charleston, for the ensuing year. The Stntuo of Calhoun. We publish below ti»vety inleresing letter from Powers,—interesting for more reasons titan one. Fears had boon entertained that the statue of Calhoun was on board the ill-fated bark that carried “Eve” to the bottom, these fears aro agreeably relieved by the letter. Another point of interest is the artist s concep tion of tho character of Mr. Calhoun, which we have never seen so fully developed before. He has evidently studied his subject wito earn estness and affection, and his idea ot the groat statesman is very striking, and finely elucidated. We look for a-work on which the artist may rest his fame, and devoutly trust that no unto ward accident may occur to mock his precau tions for i.s safe passage. The loss of the “Eve” is a real calamity, as it was one of Powers’s earliest designs, and has boon long undergoing his perfecting touch. We believe no engraving of it has been seen in this coun try; hut the number of critical notices by trav ellers, had given the work a wide fame, and excited n lively curiosity to see it. It was ex. ccuted for Mr. John 8. Preston of this State, a gentleman known both for his fine taste in art and his liberal patronage uf artists.—C/i., Mercury. Florf.nce, April 7,1850. I am much grieved at not having an oppor tunity to send the statue since it lias been finish- Athenjeum—Benefit of Mr. Kames.— This gentleman takes his first benefit in Sa vannah to-night, and it is but duo to him, that he should receive u liberal support from our theatre-?oing public, to whose entertainment he has contributed so largely during the past winter. Mr. K. is agentlemanly anil talented ac tor, who in the varied round of characters which he has personated, has never failed to giyo satis faction by his untiring exertions to do justice to the parts in which ho lias been cast. The friends of the legitimate drama among us, can not too highly appreciate the exertions of the present Managers and their excellent stock company to maintain the respectability of this class of entertainments, and they can in no way more appropriately requito those exertions than by giving to the beneficiary on this occa sion, and to each member of the corps, a sub stantial testimony of their appreciation in the shape of a benefit ns is a benefit. Tito bill for the night will he found in anoth er column. Do you buy a quantity ut onco, or a loaf when you need it ? We buy it ns we need it. Havo you a garden attached to your cottage? I have about fifteen polos, for which I pay lijd. n pole. It is less thun tho eighth of an acre. What do you rnisn from it? We raise somo potatoes and cahhuges. Do you raise a sufficient quantity of potatoes to serve you for tho year ? No, not oven if they were all sound. In addition to the potntoes and the cabbages which you raise, how much bread do you require for your own support, nnd that of your wife and seven children, for the week ? We require seven gallons of bread ot least. What is a gallon of broad ? It is n loaf which used to weigh 8 lbs. 11 oz., hut which now seldom weighs above ft lbs. Those who supply bread to the union seldom make it over 8 lbs. What is the price of the gallon loaf? Ten pence. It is .cheaper than it was, but there is not so much of it. It is often of short weight. Seven gallons of bread at 10.1. a gallon would make 5s. 10d., would it not? I believe it would mako about that—you ought to know. Do you always get seven gallons a week ? No, seldom more than six. Then you spend 0s. in bread, and make up for tho want of more by potatoes and cabba ges ? Yes. You huve'still some money left; what do you do with it? It costs us something for washing For soap and soda, and for needles and thread for mending, we puy about 5d. a week. Do you buy fuel ? We get a cwt. of coal sometimes, which would cost us Is. or Is. ljd. if we took in any quantity and paid ready money. Wh en we d° neither, it costs us about lg. 4d. a cwt. If there is one poor man who can afford to buy it in any quantity for ready inoney, ther* are forty who cannot. IIow Ian? would a cwt. of coals serve you ? ed and encased. No ship lias yet presented and in answer to my inquiries, I now learn that the first vessel for New York will be the “good American vessel Elizabeth, which will sail about the middle of next, montlv” It is barely possiblo that some vessel may touch at Leg horn, nnd sail sooner, in which case I shall be advised in time to get tiie stntue off. I have taken every possible precaution to ensure the safety of the statue. The blockings havo all been fitted hv my own hands, and if any accident occurs it will not bo for want of care ful packing, nnd every possible attention on this side of the water. I intend to go down to Leghorn to see it on board ship. It. is a fortunate circumstance that this statue was not ready in time for the new and largo Swedish ship, “ Westmorland,” upon which my unfortunnte “Eve” was shipped. She stranded near Carthngena, (Spain,) and wus in nlmost n hopeless condition at last ac counts, (the water up to the corridors,) and likely to go to pieces. “Eve” was insured for $3000, but. I had an ideal bust on hoard which was not. This is my punishment for venturing to ship on foreign vessels I shall not do it again. Wo have very find accounts here of Mr. Cal houn's health. I hope they are exaggerated. It is a small consideration, hut to me one of much interest, that he should see my statue of himself; nnd l know that you and others who havo united in this project entertain similar wishes in this respect. It is very probable, however, that he will see a very good daguer reotype of it in the possession of Mr. Aspin- wnll, who promised to show it to him. Tho words “Truth, Justice, and the Constitution,” have been engravedupon the scroll it, gilt let ters, and, as nearly as possible, in the hand ot Mr. Calhoun. I. huve given the form of his. iting, but corrected the trembling hand a little. The effect is fine. It may be satisfactory to you to know, that ns far as I have been informed, or have means of knowing, this stutuo has given entire satisfac tion to nil who have seen it heie. Some say that it has a more vigorous expression than Mr. Calhoun now has, hut this is owing to the lime at which I took his likeness, about fifteen years ago, when he was really in his prime. He had, to ho sure, tho look of age, put none of its infirmities—ibevery time ol life at which a great man like him should ho represented by the brush or the chisel, for posterity. You will find that I. have represented his hair shorter than he now wears it. Mr. Kellogg sent me a drawing of his head with long hair, but I did not like it so well. It was shorter when I made his bust, but even then I thought it too long for the host effect. Mr. Calhoun’s head is beautifully formed ; nothing could be finer than the outline of it. The concentrated energies of his powerful mind appear to glow, and sometimes to flash, from his face. Where all is angular and masculine, long hair is effem inate nnd soft ; it does not accord with the "cast iron man.” I may add, that long hair disturbs the clean and fine outline of his head. It is true, that at his fireside, and nmong his friends, Mr. Calhoun’s manner is soft nnd gentle ns a child’s—his smile is sunshine, and like the sunshine, it warms. It is no ordinary light and heat thut is perceived and felt in Mr. Calhoun’s relaxed presence. It is the light and heat of melted “cast iron.” It may he ent joyed, but it cannot he played with. I have preferred to represent Mr Calhoun as he is known and understood by the mass of our peo ple—the disinterested nnd stern statesman ol llie South. I say nothin? of his political views, more than that I believe them to be sin cere and honest. I pray you to pardon me for venturing to give the above views of Mr. Calhoun's person Snvaunoh Fnteut Brick Company. We were present yesterday to witness the commencement of operations by this Company, who have just put in operation one of Culbert son & Scott’s improved Dry Clay Brick Press es. The yard of the Company is located about three and a half miles from this city, on the ca nal, where there is an inexhaustible bed of clay, said to ho equal to any in the United Stales for tho manufacture of pressed brick. The engine employed is of sixteen horses povv- or, and is capable of working two presses, such ns the onehow in operation, which would enable the Company to turn oat 50,000 brick per .lay. While we were present yesterday, the press performed admirably, turning out from 40 to 50 brick, per m'.nute. Tho brick are of a supe rior quality, and are said, by judges, to be more durable than the Baltimore or Philadelphia brick. We have not. time to speak of this new anil important enterprize as it deserves, and will recur to it again. Washington Gossip. The coircspondeiit of the Baltimore Clipper, speaking of tho compromise, says :— Mr. Webster will make another grand effort, on Monday, and his glorious qo-adjutors, Cluy nnd Cass, will crown their everlasting monu ments of fame. All the power of the aboli tionists ItC'eis ut work to prevent any settle ment whatever, of this infernal, unnatural dis pute. They are now the only positive party in opposition. They are now the only persons who prefer disunion to compromise; aye, to a compromise that would give peace and happi ness, honor and glory to the whole Union! Governor Seward is tho master spirit in opposi tion, hut, thunk God, he is powerless for evil in this case. Mr. Webster’s nt.e reception in Boston, and other magnificent testimonials of approval from his northern and eastern fiictids, have done all that was necessary to “ fit” him firm and fast to his country’s good. Speaking of the efforts of Mr. Benton to have the Spanish Land 'litles in California ratified by the Government—litles in which ho and his family, as well as some of his free-soil friends, are interested to the amount of mil lions of dollars—the same writer says: — The California Land “Ball” is about being put in motion. Mr. Benton has long been bcnl-on it; hut I assure you he will not he “solitary and alone” in this movement. In u few .lay there will be presented to Cong'-css petitions from the “gold diirgers,” of such length a id numbers, on the subject of old Span ish claims to that. country, as will startle Mr. Benton and his two sons-in-law ! The present occupants have, without a dissenting voice, re solved, at the hazard of their lives, to prevent any human being from taking possession of any large tract of land under any old grunt or claim whatever; anil are determined to insist on pre emption and squatter’s rights, come what may —thereby acknowledging the right of property only in tho U. States, and their intention to sub mit to no other. Oil this subject, nmong the diggers, there is perfect union. This is rather an “unexpected motion” of the ball, and por tends no good to the old Prince nnd young Dukes who have, with so much’pains, labor and cunning, become the holders of tarnished parchments covering piincipniities in the mod ern Ophir, for which they have paid most beau tifully in moonshine, shadows and bluster ! Those old grants under which our would-ho Princes intend to claim the riches of Califor- ahd nowl- his sentence, fell dead from his chair. Boston, May 4. There was a large attendance at the Supreme Judicial Court this morning, to hear tho ar-u- moms of counsel, on the application for a writ ofortor and new trial for Professor Webster on account of un informality in tlie proceed, ings in bringing the ense from the Municipal Court. I was in the Judges’ lobby and heard the speeches, which were confined t» law points. Tho Judges took tho case under advisement, and no decision will be announced for several days. [5F* The Legislature of Massachusetts ad journed on Friday last, after a session of one hundred working days. The legislature has passed 320 bills and 111 resolves, and all that have passed both branchas have been signed by the Governor. The Legislature is prorogued to the 7 th of January next. J3P Mr. Horace Mann, of ihe United States House of Representatives, has sent to the press an address to his constituents, in which Mr. Webster’s position is strikingly attacked—it was to appear in the Boston papers of Satur day evening lust. The Rapfings —The Rochester American warns till persons engaged in getting up myste rious rappit.gs in other places, that it is an in fringement of the patent which is secured to Rochester. ISP Our compositor made an error in our paragraph yesterday in reference to tho run of the now steamer Atlantic. By omiting a figure he made the number of hours 5 instead of 45, as wo wrote it. What we desired to say was that the steamer had made 630 miles in 45 l 1I1LU8 illlCIIU L'-' vuv • - . nia, arc of jntamous and villlartous origin, the people of California never will aokm edge or submit to them. Trouble on this most important subject is close at hand. 3 but. whole country belongs to the people of the U- nited States, not to Thomas H. Benton nnd sons. Let Cotigress look to it forthwith. The Newark Advertiser of the 4th instant A Literary Soap-boiler.—The Newark Advertiser announces a novel entertainment to be given in that city by the “New England Soap Man” consisting of a lecture on soap, in- lerspersed with songs, &c. New 1'ork Charitable Institutions. —Tho report of the Governors of tho Alms House’, for March, estimates the number of in mates of the several hospitals and asylums connected with tho city ut 5237. Of the out door-poor, there arc about2252, making a gen eral total of 7849 persons supported by the charity of the city. The salaries of the vari ous officials employed in the different depart ments amount to $6,027. We learn by the several despatches, that tho Compromise Committee were to hold their final meeting to-day, the only question now before them being the boundary line between New Mexico and‘Texas. They will include the admission of California, the boundary of Tex as, and territorial Governments lor New Mex ico and Utah without once mentioning slavery, all in one bill. The Gulphin Committee are said to have agreed thnt the claim was illegal both principal and interest. The com mittee of investigation into the Foote and Benton affair, are still examining witnesses, See. The committee on the charges against Doorkeeper of the House, R. E. Horner, are reported to have agreed against him. Another letter writer gives us tjie following miscellaneous items of information :— As the “ narrative” of Old Whitey has been the subject of much comment, (the abstraction ists having supplied themselves with locks of remembrance while the war-horse was on his way to tnis city,) it may he of interest to learn that tho dorsal appendage has grown twelve inches within the last twelve months, and the aforesaid animal can now gracefully “ a tail unfold.” He is a fine lonkinganimal, and holds his levees in the Evecutive stables, for tho grati fication of many admirers. He continues to be visited bv persons of ullages nnd conditions. A man “all tattered and torn," 1ms, for some months past, walked up and down Pennsylvania Avenue, and been un object of remark by all. He never asks alms, and but seldom, if ever, does any one speak to him. Ho wears a cross on ids breast, secured by a string; and, at cer tain times, appears devout. It is said that, he was ut one lime a thriving merchant in New Y'ork, but domestic infidelity crushed his spirits, and drove him on the world a friendless wan derer. St. Louis, May 2. A. dreadful accident occurred last night at Laclede Saloon, on Fifth, near Locust street to a May Duy party. J. H. Purkett’s scholars and their parents had assembled for amusement, the first floor gave way, cnrrrying down some two hundred persons, breaking through the ground floor, and passing in tho cellar, which was half filled with water. A great nomher were wounded, un.I some mortally, and two killed instantly, tho wife of Jqhn Beakev, and wife of Chaster, W. Pomeroy.

Harrisburg, May 4. Pennsylvania Legislature.—A new bill was this morning read by Sylvester Cevland, in the House, to divorce Edwin lorrest. dP We are informed says the Chuleslon Courier, that a Panoramic Painting, containing twelve hundred square feet of canvnss, is being painted in this city, representing the Funeral Procession of Mr. Calhoun, which took place in Charleston, on the 25th ult. It commen ces with the landing of the body from the steam boat, under the escort of other steamers, and tho revenue cutter, at the wharf, and gives a view of tho procession at different points up to its close.

Temperance Tea Party at New Or- leans.—The New Orleans Delta thus describes the Temperance festival held in that city on tho night.of the 2d instant:— We have rarely seen so brilliant n party as was assembled last evening in the Concert Room over the Commercial Ilall. The room was thronged with beautiful women, whose handiwork was strewn in tempting profusion over the tables, and wit, and the suasion ot bright eves mulcted iniiny n.t adventurous gal lant. Even the more retiring were not spared. Captivating venders of bouquets, confectiona ries, and fruits, and a distressed damsel who preserved a provoking incognito, and chant™ a doleful ballad, descriptive of her sad plight, just returned from California, “flat broke — roamed through the room seeking whom they might devour, and wo. unto the bashful yout t they met, whoso, purse had already been ex hausted. * 'I'he sedate paid their devoirs at the ten-.a ble, and tho connoissuers in bohea, while di a ting on its delectable flavors, feasted their ejw on the charms of the fair ones who served > ■ Tho venerable Father Mathew was present u ring a great part of the evening, aiu * fount in the centre of the room, tastefully “ lC orated, and dedicted to him, found troop? patrons who received draughts, with prop 11 reverence, from the hands of beauteous n ) m l’.

C3P The Indiana State Sentinel states as a fact, that the cholera this season .has attacked the cabin passengers on the rivers, and that almost without, exception, tho deck passengers have beer, exempt. If there is any rulu well established in reeurd to this mysterious disease it is the fact of its re-visiting the scene of hs former ravages nnd selecting its victims from among the bettor c(asse.-. Anti-Slavery.—At the recent Anti-Slavery Convention, held in Cincinnati on the 17th ult., the following resolutions was unanimously adopted :— Resolved, That the friends of a pure Chris tianity ought to sepnrato themselves from all slaveholding churches, and all churches, eccle siastical bodies, mid missionary associations, thut ate not fully divorced from slaveholding; und we who may still he in connection with such bodies, pledge ourselves to separate from them, unless they will speedily separate themselvos from all support of, or fellowship with, slave- holding. ■ Relie of the Revolution.—One day this a hoy picked up while digging in « S ar< Princeton, a silver medal of large size, co ing on ihe obverse, a figure of Victory, 9laa ^ on a rampart, with a drawn sword in one nnd a flag staff in the other, with the co 0 , dvr one font, bearing the following leg 1 " 1 inscription: VIRTUT1S et audaciae Monum et rR D.
