Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
New York, May 28, 1850.
I mentioned in a former lotter, one vitiating resort
in this city, where unwritten scenes of New York life
aro of constant occurrence, the end of which ia gen
erally dark and fearful. But*tlie Cafe dc la Rcpub-
litjite it only one of a description that are found in ev
ery great thoroughfare, but more particularly in
Broadway. The others, however, differ in many re
spects from that j they are more private, and conse.
quently even moro dangerous. 1 will describe one.
Suppose a private door in a street leading out front
Broadway, over which is a lamp, showing the nature
of the business cnrrled on up stairs,—the door is open,
and the stairs are before you. Ascend to the second
floor, pass along the passage, and opening the door,
you enter a parlor, olegantly furnished and brilliantly
lighted. At a Piano Forte aits a beautiful girl, with
black, tastefully arranged hair, eyes large and spark
ling, and when she smiles, (and she has a_smile for
every visitor,) she discloses n set of teeth of unsur-
passible whiteness and regularity, lounging about
the room aro sevoral gentlemanly looking young
men; and turn your eye to the left, nmi behind a
seemingly well stocked bar, is a younger girl (say 15),
evidently a sister of the other, waiting to dispense
the various articles with which she is surrounded.
The girl at the piano is singing probably ns you enter,
“ Come dwell with me,” for instance, and the young
men around indulge in comments ns she proceeds,
the nature of which may be imagined; but however
loud or positively indelicate, they don't disconcert
her, and she proceeds to the close, and then, perceiv
ing a stranger, for the has a quick eye to business,
will go tip to him with the familiarity of an old ac
quaintance, pluce her little hand ill his, and, with an
insinuating smile, wonders where he lias been no long,
and giving him a friendly welcome, trips behind the
bar. Of course no one can refuse to drink under
such circumstances and fools with plenty of money,
too frequently dishonostly obtained, champngne it to
the extreme of folly and extravagance—their ndmirn.
tion for the dark beauty increasing at every glass,
and their familiarity tolerated by her in the same
rntio. Night after night the same young men may be
seen here, ruining their health, their character, and
their prospects.
But let us extend our observation of this establish
ment. Let tia enter one of the little rooms in the
rear of the bar, and what do we see 1 An old woman
and three beardless boys, playing a game of whist,
and two or three others looking on—the room reck
ing with the fumes of liquor, and fogged by cigar
smoke. This is the mother of the girls, who line
made herself rich by the exposure of their charms,
and the sacrifice of every feeling that gives sacredness
nnd beauty to domestic life. How many purents’
henrts that old womnn has wrung with anguish, I
need not say—nor how many drunkards nnd libertines
she has made—it is such places ns these that sow
seeds in the youthfnl heart, that spring up into n hnr-
vost of sin and sorrow. But enough of this subject
for the present. I shall give you other phases of city
life in due time.
Broad brims, and stnn i-up collars, coal 6kuttle bon
nets, and rain, now prevail here. It is the annual as
semblage of the Quakers, when we invariably have
wet weather. The fact is remarkable, but its truth
canuotbe gninsnyed. But whether this quiet inoffen
sive class have any effect upon the weather, it is not
forme to determine, for the cause of the phenomena /
is beyond my ken; but of this 1 am satisfied that
Almanack Makers for this particular locality, may
safely predict continuous rain front the 26 to the 31st
May, the day before, or the day after.
The news from your city, as to the inglorious result
of the marauding expedition against Cuba, has not
surprised any one, nnd scents to excite no regret.
Mr. Miguel Zeurbe Zolen, editor of La Vendad news
paper, and Secretary of the Cuban Patriot Junta, was
arrested on Saturday night, and admitted to bail by
George Betts this morning in $5000 to answer the
charge of aiding nnd promoting an invasion of a lor
cign couptry. The subject has been handed overtt
the Grand Jury of the U. S. Cout t, and it is expected
that several parties in the city will be indicted, prob
ably the Beaches ainoqg the rest. 1 am told that the
District Attorney has the names of all those who have
been actively employed in furnishing means &.c. in N.
York.
O ur city continues remarkuble healthy j the deaths
loBtweek only reached 241. The number duringthe
past four weeks, aa compared with last year, shew n
d “crease of 384, exclusive of Jo cases of clio.cru that
occurred lost May.
The news by the Crescent City, from the “diggings"
will give a fresh impetus to emigration to the gold
regions. The atatements certainly look well on pa
per but I fear they are not strictly true.
A melancholy ufliiir occurred this morning, show
ing the danger of carrying fire arms. A man named
Stone had a loaded pistol in his pocket, and on reach
ing home took it out to put .t away, but in doing so the

A city charter lor San Francisco has been granted
by the Legislature.
A great deal of impatience is evinced with resjtct
to the delay to which their application for adinissstou
into the Union has been subjected. The Pacific News
says:— , .
Had the people of California, through their repre
sentatives, and afterwards by an approving vote,
said nothing in their Constitution upon this subject oi
Slavery or ever made it a fundamental law ot tin

ment is instituted—What suits them best, th-y

such declaration is bound to be respected. - IN -

Congress feels bound to oppose our ndnHssi m into
the Onion as a free nnd sovereign State, we shall
eel called Upon to declare ourselves a free nnd sover

The citizens of this .State have no desire that this
alternative should be forced upon them; they depre
cate ill action tending thitherward. But once pre
sented, duty, ns well as interest is plum-tee stand
alone.
Philadelphia, May 26—8 P. M. Two disgraceful
riots occurred in this city last evening, between our
fireman. The hose carriage of the Niagara llose Com-
puny whs taken from them by u gang rowdies nnd
completely demolished. In one oi the tights several
were severely wounded. Guns, pistols, and other
weapons used in abundance. Neil Mooliey, one of the
Moyamensing watchmun, wus shot lastmght by a gong
ol rowdies—was not expected to live till morning.

borhood, as much ns 2 1-2 pounds ot gold have been
taken out from one hole in one day.
The reports at all the diggings ore quite favorable
at this time. New nnd rich washings on all the
principal streams have been discovered during the
{last winter. It is thought the tremendous Hoods
which have inundated bars and submerged tracts ol
country, bordering on the gold washing streams,
have effected important changes ill tile deposits ot
gold over which they liuve swept With resistless iury.

A rich hurvest ip expected at Fremont Vein
It appeared from testimony in a case settled by ar
bitration at Sau Francisco lately, that two persons
opened n gambling house as partners, and lrom h
cash capital of only $2500, had realized the immense
sum of nearly one hundred and fifty thousand did
lnrs in about thirteen months.
Tho Stockton Times says, that G. C. Belt, Esq.,
who has just returned from Sonora describes the ex
citement amongst the inhabitants ot that town to be
intense, in consequence of the lnte rich discoveries m
this district. ‘ There is no doubt that the new placer
is of unprecedented richness, and there are supposed
to be from three to five thousand persons at work up
on it, who, in numerous instances, are getting train
two to twenty ounces per day. The place is
cd about hull a mile from the town, is about 600
acres in extent, mid is about 400 yards distant iroin
water. Many of the holes have yielded, each, up
wards of 10 pounds of the precious metal. From
one hole a mnu took 37 pounds of gold in three days.
This information may be relied upon, us it comes
from a highly respectable source.
Wednesday, Mr. Thomas II. Bartlett, in searching the
grounds of Mr. Whltall, near the Monument Retreat,
Red Bank, found the skull and the whole ot a skele
ton, supposed to have been the doctor of the Hessian
regiment defeated in the battle at that place, as several
kinds of salves and medicinal preparations were tound
with him. There were also several buckles, and a
iinin'gold finger ring, which dropped ott on disturbing
the remains; u leather belt, with armorial healings,
and IIe8sinn coat of arms, llis teeth were peiiect y
sound, nnd showed no evidence whatever ot decay.
The battle at which this, supposed surgeon was killed
was fought on the 22d of October, In7, 7J years ago.

that some further demonstrations than the unsuccess

England. Matters regarding foreign policy arc
daily assuming a more serious aspect. Tile (week
affair is not yet settled, but in a lair wny to leud to
pence. ..
French nnd Russian governments are greatly dis
satisfied at tlie turn the affairs had taken, and the
ministers from both posts had lelt England. This
gave rise to a variety of speculations.
On Thursday Lord Brougham called tlie attention
of tlie House of Lords to the sudden departure of
the French Ambassador niul hoped that no un
friendly feeling existed between France und Eng-
,a The Marquis of Lnnedown explained. He said the
departure of the French Minister, which took place
on the Queen’s birth day, was accidental, on account
of tlie French government desiring Ilia presence in
Paris. , ,
Lord Palmerston attempted to give explanations oi
tlie sudden disappearing of the French and Russian
Ministers, but was not satisfactory. He eoid tlie dis
cussion between the British and Greeks was so far
settled, that no apprehension net'll be entertained of
tlie commerce being molested. The only matter re
maining, was tlie investigation.of the pacific claims
regarding Portugul. He said also, that France would
srefer that a settlement of the Greek difficulty had
seen effected through the French agency. Circum
stances, however, militated against this mode ot ad.
iustnient. This affair wears rather a serious aspect,
and tlie French funds in consequence have experi
enced ahenvy shock, and on Thursday Consols which
on the previous evening stood nt 96J, declined to
834 per cent, but subsequently rnilied to 95j.

C1F" It is srfidin Washington that a proclamation
will shortly appear thut Sir Henry Bulwer has had u
conference witli Mr. Secretary Clayton, in which it is
stated that there is a secret trenty between Spain and
England, which will require tho letter to interfere,
even if the island is liberated. It is apprehended
that this will lend to a blockade of the whole coiiBt
by England, and that some chance collision with the
American flag will end in wnr. It is supposed that
this business will hurry on tlie compromise witli the
North, while tlie South will go for delay.
Tlie Administration nnd the Compromise
Ill a previous number we nlluded to tlie prospect of
a disagreement between Mr. Clay and the adininis
tration, growing out of the opposition of the latter to
tne Compromise Bill now before the Senate. We were
led to i this inference not only by the tenor of Mi-
Clay’s remarks in his late great speech, but by the
gcnernltone of certain Washington letters written by
persons whom we knew to be well advised in relation
to tlie views of tlie Cabinet. The withdrawal of the
original editors of the Republic was also significant of
ministerial disapprobation of the course which that
paper had taken in support of tlie Compromise hill.
Whatever doubt may have existed in the public mind
in regard to tho attitude of the administration to
wards Mr. Clay and his measure, is now being speed
ily removed by the open hostility manifested by the
new editor of tlie Republic, who, in an article of some
four columns of that paper, assails both the Com
promise and its author.
The Republic goes into an elaborate argument to
establish tlie superiority of the President's plan over
that matured by the Committee of Thirteen, nnd
though the Editor declares thntno one is authorized
to assert that the President is opposed to tho bill now
before the .Senate, lie shows so decided a preference
for tlie Executive plan, that it is difficult to see how
Gen. T .vi.or can share with him in his preferences
nnd opinions without entertaining ii degree of hostili
ty to the measure which aims to supersede it. This is
the more difficult when we bear in mind the fact, that
the semi-official announcement made in the first num
her of the paper issued tinder tlie new arrangement,
that the President had never wnvered, but steadily
adhered to the recommendation contained in his
message. The fact cannot, therefore, be disguised,
that a breach with Mr. Clay lias been determined on.
and that the organ lins_bcen tuned to warlike notes
against him.
The article in the Republic charges Mr. Clay with
arrogant assumption—that “became to load, not to
follow—to originate measures of compromise and

Fire Extinguisher.—An account was given in many
of our newspapers, a few weeks since, of a gas, said
to be recently invented in England, und to be won
derfully efficient in extinguishing fires. A more re
cent account, which we find in our exchange papers,
(but without a reliable credit,) says that this agent
proves on further trial, to be a very valuable affair,
and that the machine which emits this gas costs ouly
$35, is easily drawn by two men, aDd will instantly

The inventor, it will be remembered, -first tried it in

Sir John Franklin Reported Safe—The Dev-
onport (England) Independent publishes the follow
ing extract from a letter received by Air. George
Tucker, of Pembroke st, Devonport, dated Hong
Kong, Feb. 27, from his son, who is master’s assis
tant on board her Majesty s ship Hasting:
“YVehuve just received intelligence by an Ameri
can whaler of file arrival of Sir John Franklin nnd his
party at the Sandwich Islands, lbey saluted that
place immediately after they anchored, after iui ab
sence of five years. They have discovered the North
west passage; most probably they have boon frozen
up in the middle part of the passage for nearly three
years. The captain of the whaler informed us that
Sir John Franklin despatched his first-lieutenant over
the isthmus, to sail immediately tor England with
the intelligence.
The Political Excitement in France.
There is un attempt making to reform the electoral
law in France, whicli is .increasing the political diffi
culties in thut country. M. Barroehe, Minister^of the
Iuterior, presented the project. The late advices show
strong feeling of tlie people and the press against the
so-called reform measure. Tlie object of the gov
ernment and of tlie majority in the Assembly is too
palpable. By universal suffrage it is clear that they
cannot continue in power, end they therefore attempt
to reduce that political privilege to a practical nullity.
The reform contemplates a residence of three years,
instead of six months, in a single place of each vote,
and a certificate from tho employer of every work
man that the letter hns been two years in his employ
ment. It also niters the age wheu voters acquired the
right of suffrage, from 21 years to 25. These provis
ions are equivalent to depriving a large portion of the
voters of their right, for the daily fluctuations in
trade und business compel muny of them to shift
their residence frequently in a period embraced by
two years, it also places the voter ut the mercy of
his employer, besides depriving a large body of the
young men of the republic of their citizenship.. A
dispatch from London, just ut the depai t-ire ot the
Europa, says i
The latest dates from Paris state tliut the members
