Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
New Yoke, May 24, 1800.
There is nothing particularly stirring in the city at
present, and even the Cuban invasion is not regarded
with great interest, though tho One Star Bonner ia
■till tloating from the fifth story window of the Sun
building. 3y the bye, I conversed yesterday with u
person who is waiting hero for news from Cuba, be
fore starting to join the invaders. lie assures me
that none have left this port at present; but that a
large body of men are ready to start at any moment,
and their arrangements are such, that the authorities
cannot prevent their departure. According to hta
statement, Lopez does not contemplate a revolution
ary movement Immediately; or, at least, does not
calculate upon it. It is skid that he can take up a po
sition and-maintain it for two years, against all the
forces Spain can bring against him. There is no lack
of funds, it seems, New York being tho principal
source; but Mobile, 1 hear, has contributed liberally.
The gallant fellows departed yesterday on their
mission of mercy towards the North Pole, in search of
Sir John Franklin. It was a very interesting scene,
for thousands of persons had collected to give them
a cheer at parting. They proceed direct to Baffin's
Bay, thence to Lancaster Sound, through Barrow'i
Straits, and their'future course will depend upon the
ice, and shquld their progress westward bo obstruc
ted, they will return to Baffin’s Bay, and attempt it in
another direction, and if expedient, pass through
Behring’s Strait to the Pacific. This is the general
plan, buti of course, to be changed according to cir
cumstances. May success crown their efforts.
The Immigration this season is positively startling,
I am happy to say, however, that large numbers are
proceeding westward; one boat, a few nights since,
took 1,950 to Albany. The passage money amounted
to $2,100, and the freight about $500. You may im
agine the scene on board,—it cannot be described.
It Is astonishing to what length cupidity will lead a
man, and how eagerly he will seize upon every chance
of making a few dollars. One of our theatrical man
agers, it seems, wanted Mrs. Forrest to appear on his
stage, and thus make money for him by the unfortu
nate and painful notoriety she has obtained. But the
most disgraceful instance of this kind, is an exhibi
tion now open In this city, of t wo statuettes, colored,
and the size of life, of the late Dr. Farkman, and
Prof. Webster. There is also exhibited a daguerreo
type ot the Janitor of the College, Littlefield. I am
told it is visited by a largo numbers of persons 'daily;
but, for my own part, I cannot imagine a greater out
rage upon decency and propriety, and instead of sus
taining it, the public should frown upon, such an
* fl y£ a ro is no excuse for not educating children in tbft
city, for, it appears, that we havo 199 Public 8chools:
■65 Ward Schools; 115 Public School Society; and 19,
Corporate Schools. Last year 53,546 scholars attend
ed the Public Schools; and 49,428 the others; so that
102,974 children received the benefit of education,
(free,) at a cost to the tax payers, of $248,300. The
average attendance, however, was only 35,998.
It was expected that Norton, the libeller of Miss
Crean, would have been sentenced to day, but the
Court decided to go on with Bennett’s trial, and pass
sentence to-morrow. Bennett’* case will probably
cltwe to-day, so far as the testimony is concerned.
The defence is, that “one-eyed Thompson,” the scape
goat, seemingly, of all the villains, wrote the note,
having stolen a letter of Foster’s to Bennett, and re
moved all the writing but the signature, by a chemi
cal process, and then filling the blank in the form of a
nQW . it was very ingeniously contrived, and had
Mr. Foster chanced to have died about the time It
became due, no doubt the estate would have paid it
I don’t think Bennett win be convicted.
The Ohio is coming up the bay as I close my letter,

he found that his father, nn old officer ol Napolean
having come under suspicion ot the government ns a
friend to Republicanism—bad been murdered bv a
detachment of Russian soldiery after a resistance by
himself and retainers of three days, his castle de
molished, and estates confiscated—that his sister, a
beautiful girl of 17, to shield herseli from their brutal
ity, had taken her own life. Despairing ol a cause to
which he was ardently and instinctively attached
the cause of huntnn rights and civil liberty—beset by
danger and overwhelmed with the desolation of his
house nnd his hopes, lie again sought our shores, tuna
landed at Baltimore, last fall, and came thence to this
place. For some time after his arrival among us he
was sustained by the novelty of hie situation, the en
couragement of friends nnd the plans which he form
ed for the future ; but becoming accustomed to these
and distrusting, from wont of experience and means,
IPs capacity and fitnessforthe business pursuits ol life
he indulged in the gloomiest memory of his misfor
tunes and shrank from the prospect of becoming depen
dent upon This friends. To the world he betrayed but
little or the anguish that was praying upon his heart,
and theterrible conflict between life and death, that
was passing in his mind—but his more intimate ac
quaintances were awaro of his intense unhappiness,
and did much to cheer and strengthen him. We
have reason to believe that hiB days were prolonged
-several months-by these means; but. alas ! they could
not preserve from destruction a life, which, under
happier -auspices, would have proved a blessing to
film self and an honor to hia land. W e have never
Known any event so suggestive of pity and regret as
the melancholy one which terminated his exist-
•ence. . , ..
In no moment ofmadness—in lio paroxysm ol the
passions—in no delirium of the brain—but upon a
calm and well considered calculation of'the good and
evil of existence;—with every indication of seli-pos-
session and of nerve, he stilled the quick and levered
throbbings of his heart, and silenced the voice that
spoke oniv sorrow to his soul. He had, by his frank
ness, his enthusiasm, his intelligence and strict moral
ity, as well as by- the graces of his person and man
ners and by his romantic history, won most warmly
the sympathy, respect and admiration ot all who en
joyed his acquaintance. We have never known a
warmer heart or braver spirit; and the last scene m
the sombre story of hia life, attested by its circum
stances that the one was not crushed by misfortune,
nor the other embittered by adversity. Iiis last words
were those of gratitude and affection, his-last act was
neither a mad defiance of Fate nor an unmanly despair
of the future, but the effect of principles and feelings
in some measure attributable to hia birth, education,
and life, a too constant and gloomy contemplatian ot
his iU fortune, and a keen sense of shame at the
thought of forfeiting his independence. There are
piany who will look upon him aa he spoke ot himselt
inaletter written to a friend but a few minutes before
Ins death, as “ a soul in error," but there are none
who have generous hearts, that will speak coldly or
harshly of the unhappy stranger. Let none reproach
him, for none can fell the agony that wrung his soul.

The Compromise.
We stntcd in our article yesterday that there were
unmistakable indications, in certain quarters, of a de
termination to defeat Mr. Clay’s bill, with a view to
keep the slavery question open for another politics]
campaign. Tho late of the compromise of the last
Congress, and the influence the unnatural death of that
bill had upon the last Presidential campaign is regard
ed as ahopeful precedent, and there Is no doubt in our
mind, that if tho present bill is defeated, it will be for
the same selflih motive that prompted the smothering
of the former measure in the House. But as we have
said, we do not believe that tho people, who have ao
much at stake in the matter, and who are growing so
heartily tired of the angry controversy to which it
has given rise, will submit to any lunger delay, or that
they will permit themselves longer to bo deluded by
the mock heroics and transparent patriotism of those
politicians who desire to use this question for election-
eering capital, who would keep it open as a perpetual
element of excitement. Reflecting men of both par
ties begin to see through the motives of those who
oppose every scheme of settlement, and who, ns each
new arrangement is proposed, seem to bo watching
the favorable time to interpose their influence to
prevent an adjustment of the question.
As an evidence that we are not alone in this opinion
we oiler the following article from the Baltimore Clip,
per, the leading Whig paper in Baltimore—a paper
whose veteran editor has never shrunk from a hold
nnd candid avowal of his sentiments on all questions
of national policy.
The “ Omnibus Bill."—Wo consider it now certain
that there will be an organized opposition to this bill,
and that a fearful effort will be made to havo the door
uf controversy on the slavery question open; with the
view of making political capital for the next Presi
dential election. We denounce all such mnneeuvers;
and will lend no aid to schemers who would sacrifice
the country to obtain or retain pov/er. We prefer
the harmony of tho country—the preservation of the
Union—to all parties, sectional or political—to all as
pirants for political distinction, and we trust that the
friends of the Union in both Houses of Congress will
rally in defence of the measures introduced into the
Senate by the committee of thirteen, as that alone
can put a final extingusher on agitation, and amicably
close the whole controversy about slavery.
It is said, that the opposition to the “ omnibus bill,
originates in part, from hostility to Mr. Clay, and from
the sycophantic desire to please the President by a-
doptinghis imperfect mode of treating the subject.
We care not what may be the moii.es for the opposi
tion; it is against the clearest mid dearest interests of
the country: and, if the support of the bill bring ad
ditional glory to Mr. Clay, Mr. Cass, and others,
they will have deserved it by their patriotic labors in
the cause of the nation.
It is an interesting and touching sight to see the pa
triarchs of the Senate—men who have grown gray
in the public service—rise in their places and plead
for their country against faction; and he who cannot
admire and sympathize with them, deserves not pub
lic confidence or respect.
We have greatly mistaken the sentiments and char
acter of the President, if he can be gratified by the
defeat of measures which would heal all disfcontents
—or if he would unite in any attempt to prejudice dis
tinguished patriots for exerting themselves in the
cause of their country. But, whatever may be hia
feelings or disposition towards those who are seeking
Not a Bbitish “Colored" Subject. It turns
out that there has been no abridgement of the liberty
of a British subject in America, in tho case of tho
colored man in Charleston. It has been ascertained
at tile Registry, in London, that Bowers was always
described in the register tickets ns a native of Boston,
Mass., and he was so entered in the articles of agree
ment, when he shipped In the "Mary Ann." The
wrath and indignation of members of Parliament, anil
tho whole editorial corpB, has, therefore, been ex
pended to no purpose.

From Washington City
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing
under date of 21at Instant, says—
This has been a brilliant and exciting day In the
Senate Mr. Soule made a grand and imposing ar-
mment against every feature of compromise, and
declared that no Southern man could vote for it Mr.
Soule was listened to with deep attention, and the im-
nreaslon which it left ia anything other thanencour-
aiimr to the friends of the peace and national harmo-
nv * A sullen assent to a measure of peace is all thal
be'eoald promise, and not that until every measure
cf resistance was exhausted. Mr. Clay't mstimtane.
-mis reply was a triumphant refutation of all the chief
nointsof Mr.Soule's argument.
But Mr. Clay had a still higher duty to perfom—
that Is, to express his disapprobation of toe Provl-
dent’s plan, and to call upon the friends of that plan,
if oneuiere was, to stand up, not in a newspaper
column, hut in the Senate, and defend that plan and
compare Its advantages and mento with the compro
mise scheme. Mr. Clay spoke with unusual elo
quence, and in a tone notunhke that of indignation.
If Mr Clay's scheme does not pass, it may not be
positively averted that California will soon come
into the Union. She will never come in on the Pres
ident’s plan. The struggle may be a severe one, and
may shake the Capitol to its base—but California is
not so to come Into the Union.
The country it now in a triple crisis. First, there
is a threaten.ng difficulty in the controversy between
Texas aud New Mexico, a difficulty involving na
tional hate; next there is the California and W ilmot
Proviso war; and, third, we are menaced with a pre
cipitation into all sorts of difficulty growing out of
the Cuban affair.
The correspondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, says:
To-day Mr. Downs, of Louisiana, haa made the
qpoet conservative speech yet heard from any South-
i trn Democratic member, in which he expressed au
intention of giving the compromise his untmaltied
support. The speech surprised me more than his col
league's did. 1 subjoin a list which an attentive ob
server of the indications of Southern sentiment
handed to me while Mr. Downs was f peaking, of those
Southern Senators who are set down ns hostile to
the committee's project. They are, Ma«cn, of Va;

son and Yulee, of Fla.; Clemens, of Ala.; Davie,
of Miss.; (Soule, of La.; Turney, of Tennessee;
Borland and Sebaetian.«f Ark,; Benton,of Mo.; and
Spruance and Wales, of Del.; fifteen.
I have great doubts of the course of Bemen.Hpru-
ance and Wales, and am much Inclined to believe
that, if they fail in procuring the amendments toey
desire, they will at last take th« bill oa the best they
can get.

The Dublin Advocate says,—
“We have been favored with a list of the persons
to whom remittance* have been sent from America
within the last eighteen months in the perish of Bal-
linakill, county of Galway ; and we find that from 48
persons to less a sum than Afi83 bad been transmitted
to this country during that period two-thirds of them
also being laborers or servants. This statement ia
important, as exhibiting tbo extensive field of em
ployment on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, and
the strong feelings of affection and attachment mani
fested by the peasantry towards each other. These
remittances have been chiefly to the mothers and
sisters of emigrants, and sometimes to their wives
and families, to bear the expenses of outfit and pas

The Nation, of Saturday, publishes a long letter
from the pen of Mr. Meagher. It bears date 1st of
December, and is written in a frank, cheering, and
uncomplaining spirit. He pays high testimony to
the kindness which he received at the hands of the
captain and all the officers of the Swift gun-brig, who,
though not permited to hold conversation with the
“ felons," allowed scarcely a day to pass over without
the latter “ receiving some new and gratifying
proof that they were in the company of gentle
men."

heal the wounds of the nation, sectional factions
must be crushed, and the country be steered safely
through all difficulties. Whoever may be the instru
ments of effecting these objects, will deserve and re
ceive the heart-feltgfatitode of the people whilst their
opponents will be remembered only to be condemned.
Mr. Clay in his late great speech on on Compro
mise measure, says :—
I have seen with surprise and regret—persistence
—for so I am compelled, painfully, t > regard it—from
the Chief Magistrate of the country, in his own pe
culiar plan. I think, in a spirit of compromise, the
President ought to have come to us, and not we to
him.”
The opposition presses of the North take this para
graph for a text, and in their comments, ridicule the
assumption of Mr. Clay, that hia measure should
take precedence over that of tho President. The
Courier, and Enquirer says :—
“ Whether it was the duty of the Administration
to abandon its own public policy, to which it
stood committed before the world, and to espouse
one originating with its political enemies, is a point
we shall not discuss. The country has had some
experience on that point which cannot be use
less.
The Editor then vauntingly alludes to the history
of John Tyleb's administration, and intimates that
if Gen. Taylob* would avoid the fate of the former
he mUBt not abandon his pledges.
Now we have always regarded the promise to leave
the legislation of the country to Congress, and to
abstain from all Interference therein, as promenent
among the pledges made by Gen. Taylob, previous
to his election, and we doubt not that Mr. CLAYhad
reference to this pledge, so often reiterated, when he
made the remark above quoted. For our own part
we know of no pledge made by Gen. Taylor which
requires him to use his influence to defeat the com
promise measure, while we think he incurs quite ns
great a hazard by doing so as he would by giving it
bis countenance, and support.

The Cuba Expedition.—Spanish Reprisals on
America.—A long article appears in La Cornica, a
Spanish paper in New York, earnestly refoting the
Idea that "neither the people nor government of this
country lends any aid nor gives no support" to the
Cuba expedition. It inculpates even the official pa
pers at Washington, says that the neglect of the gov
ernment has been such as to render it responsible
for the damage which may ensue to Spain, and add* :
“ The armament to which the threats against
Cuba have given a rise, ought to be the subject of a
prompt and vigorous claim on the part of the Spanish
Government, which opght, in no wise, to consider
themselves responsible tor the injury which it might
cause to the commerce of the Union, by stopping and
searching at sea, any American vessel, in order to
execute u duty belonging to the authorities of this
country, but performed by them. It 's very possi
ble, if our news from Madrid do not deceive us, that
the Spanish government may this year begin to in
demnify itself for these extraordinary expenses, by
adjudicating to itself the interest of a certain national
debt of bad oriein, which it has hitherto scrupulously
paid to the United Stutea."
More of the Lucre. The Ohio which arrived
at N. Y. from Chagres on Friday brought $410,000,
in dust, and $200,000 in specie, besides 11,000 in Span
ish Doubloons, which were shipped from N. O. tor
Havana, but which could not be landed owing to the
excitement at the latter port. The British steamer Sev
ern which arrived at Mobile on the 2d inst., brought
$•■>59,182 in species, of which 60,925 is on account of
Mexican dividends. In addition to this the Sylph, a
Pacific whaler, arrived at New Bedford, the other day
with $25,000 in gold dust; making a grand totq) within
the week, of upwards of 1,200,000. We may men-
tion in connection with this subject that the largest
amount of money thatbiaa been in the New York Cus
tom House at any one time since its existence, is in it
at the present time—exceeding, Sb it does, five millions
of dollars. From these facts we may infer that Un
cle Sam is getting along in the world.

The descent on Cuba, it is now stated, was
designed by the party leaving New Orleans on the 6th
or 9th, to be mode on or about the 90th. They ex
pected, before landing, a signal from the Creole* in
Cub*, in the form of a declaration of Independence
Breach of Promise.—The Court of Common
Pleas of New York has now before it a case involving
an alleged breach of promise of marriage, in which
the plaintiff is Mr. Herman Siefke and the defendant
is Miss Diana Tappan. He lays his damages at $2000.
What makes the gentleman so extremely sore in this
matter is the fact that he gave Diana $50 to purchase
a wedding dress, and ever since she jilted him he has
been much affected In mind nnd unable to attend to
his business. Poor fellow.
Painful Accident. We regret to learn that on
Sunday last. Dr. James Humphreys, formerly a resi
dent of this city, but now of Wilkinson co.. received
a severe injury by a fall from his horse. The doctor
was riding on professional business, when his hone
took fright, arid threw him, fracturing his cheek bone,
dislocating his jaw, and severely injuring his hip.
The wounds are said to be very severe, and fears are
entertained for his recovery.
Money Matter*, Trade, dfcc.
NEW-YORK.May 25.—'The money market is char
acterized by the same ease which haa prevailed dur
ing the last two months. The supply is abundant
with but moderate offerings, and the rates are gradu-
Ally ameliorating. The prominent rates at which
irime commercial paper is discounted is 5 per cent,
or 60 days; 6 a 7 for 75 days, and four months and
longer dates in proportion. Loans redeemable at call
are easy ot 5 per cent, with some as low as 4 a4j per
cent, secured by government securities. There has
been a very limited business done in Exchanges for
the Pacific which sailed to-day,owing to the fact ot the
Niagara having sailed on Tuesday. Moderate sales
of sterling were made at 94 a 1G; franks 5,25 a 5,37j.
In bther descriptions nothing has been done,and they
remain as previously noticed.
