Correspondcncc^of the Daily Morning Nine*. New York. June 3, 1850. The prediction of the forty days rain is yet in course of fultiluient,though the weather is summery at last— still every twenty-fourhoursbrings thepredieted rair, even though, sometimes, it is only just enough to swear by. People are disposed to laugh at old worn, n'a stories, but I trust that hereafter they may be treated with becoming respect. The c ntinued good health of the city is a subject of gratulation; the deaths from actual disease lust week wero only 219, which is a lees number. 1 believe,'than for any week for a long time past. No symptom of Cholera yet I am happy to say ; and it it pleasant to see that no unnecessary alarm is experienced in regard to it It is scarcely mentioned by the press, and the operations of the Health Wardens are silent and effec tual. ‘ , , . . Many persons begin to think that Government has burnt its fmger* hi the matter of the seizure of the Kate Boyd, and will have to respond in heavy damages. I am not one of those, however. In the present exci ted state of public feeling with regard to Cuba, the fact of freighting the vessel With gunpowder and cannon wa3 rather implcious, and, to my mind, qiyte justilied the seizure, and as nothing has as yet been done in the matter beyond that, it is fuir to presume that the char terers cannot satisfactorily explain the business. The other suspected vessels arc still here, ana give no signs of departure. A large tiro occurred down town this morning, origi nating in the well stocked warehouse of Messrs. Otis te Woodward, which, with the contents, was entirely consumed; and several other buildings much injured. The loss will probably exceed 410.000. - The Express of this morning terms the present com munication with Europe the Atlantic Ferry, for it has really become so. Tnero are now live steamers on their wuy to this country, from Bremen and South ampton, from Liverpool and Galway, in Ireland, From the latter point, I predict that, with a quick boat, a very short passage will be made to Halifax—less than u week, 1 have no doubt. 1 don’t know anything of the qualities of the Viceroy; but it is supposed that she will do it in that time. The Hermann brings news to the 20th Muy, two days later, and is due ; but the America to the 25tb, Will, most likely, be at Halifax to morrow, and an i.ipute her. it appears thut Lopez did not get much treasure at Cardeuis after all. A person writing from there, says that there were only 821,000 iu the Custom House, and some steel penc, which were ail appropriated. It is a pity tlipy couldn’t havo secured all the pens in the place, so that their disgrace might not havo been re corded. From a statement published this morning, it seems that 311,330 foreign letters passed through our Post Office iu twenty-uino days of the past month, or neur- ly 11,001 per day. Of these, 41,500 were received from, aud 25,300 sent to California. The rest were received from, and sent to Europe. Thq Grand Jury of the U. S. District Court citmc into Court this morning, and made a preeentnnnt with reference to their investigation into the subject of any hostile expedition against Cuba having been organized in this city. The jury say that the result will not authorize the indictment of any person or persons here, for criminal violation of the laws of the United States; so M. Tolen will, of course, be dis charged from hail. It is rumored that another force has landed on the Southern side of tho Island of Cuba, but it is not credited. 1 am told that the design of Lopez was to land at Cardenas in the night, to provent any communication, being sent from that city; then proceed to Matanzns and take to tits mountains, where be expected to have been-joined by a large number of Cubans. We are in expectation of li .ring a mint here now, and there is great rejoicing thereat. Tiny begin to talk about the site for it, which I suppose will be in Wall-street. Probably the present Custom Ilou-e may be converted to the purpose, and the Merchants’ Exchange purchased for a Custom House. The young kdy Rappers have arrived here, and are at Bnrnum’s Hotel. No exhibition has taken place yet, but they will go in for the “raps" very soon, I hear. They are very pretty young girls, and calcula ted to bewilder a follow considerably. I shall make a point of being present at one of them "spiritual vis itations." and give your readers the benefit of my ob- servatiook. We are remarkably quiet at New York at present, though the torpedo mystery is not yet solved. “One- eyed Thompson's" examination will bo resumed this afternoon, and expected to close to-day. Jf the Jus- tice believes the testimony ho. of course, mu-l com mit him for trial, butif he does believe it, n jury would not. and, therefore, it would only be putting the County to an unnecessary expense. CIIARLEM AC. armed vessel from Matanzas while we were aground, therefore, it was of the lust importance to lighten the steamer at any sacrifice,- rather than endanger the lives of all in a defenceless and desperate situation. Consequently nn order was given to lighten the boat, and some provisions, and h large quantity of am- munition was thrown overboard, leaving only some 30,000 rounds, besides those that each private had.— At day break the boat was afloat, and after getting out cf the bay, the steamer stood In « northeastern direction, until she was entirely out of sight when 8hg changed her course tb the west. At about 8 o' clock in the. morning, Gnu. Lopez learned from one of the field-officers that many ol tile men were di-sat isfied, mid wanted to be returned to the United States, using the r rights as American citizens. To which Uen. Lopez replied that he had Intended to commu nicate to the neld-officers the change in his plan of operations. Soon after the Held-otticers assembled in the General’s quarters, an-l after hearing that the ob ject was to effect another landing at Mantua, (west of H ivam,) where ho had many friends that would as sist him, and where there was no garrison at all, and by the manoeuvre divert the attention of the gov ernment of the island, which was already called to’.' the east of Hayafin. A mi j jrity approved the plans of General Lopez, and the dissenting gave it to be understood that they were willing to follow the General, provided they could be assured of a siinilur willingness of all on board. The question then arose, a9 to whether there was any such willingness. The result of an invest!- J jation as to the sense of our whole force on the sub- ect was, that about three-fourths of the whole num ber. refused to land again on die island of Cuba with out reinforcementsot men and artillery, being short of ammunition, and insisted upon being conveyed to Key- West. The reserved r ghts of men required that such should be the course to be pursued. Uen Lopez opposed it sUotigly, on the ground that he had left New Orleans for Cuba , end that he would remain there st the risk of his life; for if we were to go to Key West, or auy other point of the United .States, the vessel would be confiscated, and other consequences which would ruin the whole afliir. Home time after-' wards, one of the officers asked General Lopez whe ther he had given any orders to the captain of the boat an to the course she should pur.-ue. To which Uen. Lopez replied. “Yes. to Mantua." The officer stated thBt the men were very uneasy and dissati-fied, and had determined to goto Key West. General Lopez still objected to it, lurther saying that he could not go fri m Key West to Cuba, on account of the rea sons already given, and also of the danger of meet ing some Spanish men-of-war; but if the men hnd de cided and were determined to go to Key West, that they ought to give such orders to the captatn, for he would not do it. Consequently the order was given to the captain of the boat, end seme men posted by the compass to prevent nny deviation from Key West. Ju-t as we were near Key West, we saw a Spanish steamer of war (the Pizurro) pursuing us so closely that we could hardly have escaped, had she not gone aground and remained so tor half an hour. However, we had only time to get into the bay close to the town, for she came in nearly the same moment. After landing here, the boat was seized by the government and the men went ashore with the baggage, Ac. hi the del icate position in which Gen. Lopez was placed, he has none all in-his power to facilitate means of trans- porSiticu for these men, having also placed in the hands of the field officers, eighty-six doubloons, which money was taken from the treasury of Cardenas, and counted before many witnesses, und for which he gave a receipt to the Collector of said place. This money went to uttend mainly to the wants and ne cessities of the wounded. We conclude this by simply adding that our res pect for G. ti. Lopez is unbounded, and that it was with the most poignant sense of regret that we found ourselves unable to carry out the General’s views, especially since they were coupled with entreaty, and imploring us to laud himself and pcrsonal lYlends, to gether with the company ot -Spanish troops that join ed us there in Cardenas, even should we leave him there without any of our force. Statement of the Onicer* of the Expedition under (leu. Lopez. To all whom it may concern, be it known, that the undersigned, Officers of the Liberating Army of Cu ba, bt ir.g desirous of ri udering General Don N. Lo pez, Commandout ln-Chief cf said army, the amplest justice, do, freely mid voluntarily, make the following statement of events andfacts, viz: At t ie time of embarking on tha Isle of Wumeu. where we -.vent to join Col. O'ilArn. and remained there some time for the purpose of tilling our water ra.-ks, General Lopez, oil learning that some men were displeased with the object of the expedition, issued a general order, stating that all those that were unwilling to follow him. could return to the Unit' d State- in the bark Georgiana, where they would find provisions aud nil necessaries for the voyage. Iu ne ed dance with that order, some thirty men were em barked on the Georgiana, and the rest, to the munbi r of six hundred and uine, rank rnd file, including the General, went into tho-stenmer Creole, and left for Cardenas. We arrived in Cuba and landed at the town of Cardenas, of which place wc took po-ses sion, capturing the Governor and garrison, which joined us with the exception of the officers as soon asth ywere inf unit'd of our motives, stating that tin y aid uot know General Lopez during the fight. We entered the towu ab rathalf-p c.t lour o’clock, A. M-. having hud some delay in landing on account of the boat being aground nrar tho wharf, tvhiih delay caused our lauding to be discovered by the people of the town and reported to the Governor, who imme diately ordered the gurrisen under arm i, and prepa ed to defend themselves and town. Gen. Lopez knowing there was some enemies around the town, and having to send the steamer coal and water necessary for her return to some port in the United States, was com pelled to remain in the town all day to protect the boat and crew, and seme wounded men, who wen t > be sent back on the steamer, several men and officers having been wounded in taking the towu in the raoraiug. The difficulty in getting the coal and water on board of the host, gave the enemy ample time to destroy the railroad so (list it wus impossible to leave by means rtf it, and. as we understood from th • Gem ru) himself, he being aware that the steamer could not be ready fo leave before 8 or S) o’clock, P. M., lie thought it convenient • to change his plnus of operntiou und evacuate the place, embarking the men cn board the steamer, mid effect a lauding in some other part of tiie Island of Cuba. As. the troops wefts withdrawing from the town, they were attacked by n small body of Luucers, and a promiscuous assemblage of armed persons on loot, according to the observation of some of our officers, or by 22 lancers and 45 infantry, according to the re port of aprisoner taken that evening, and of those who turned ou our side in the nlttnffug—all of whieti force were repulsed with great Idas, allowing our column to embark in good order, on board the steamer. This i-emgdone,at 9 o’clock, i>. *t„ we got out to sea, and after getting aome short distance out in the buy, the boat got aground, and as there was ample time to re ceive ictemgecce in Matanzas, of our landing -n Car- ‘.ctmi. and considering that nny. delay would bring e.jr; aJ,;.;renapenaequence); Sy tb? orrivnl o» some ONE WEEK LATER FKOM EUROPE.

The Canada had not arrived at Liverpool when the America left. The accounts from the manufacturing districts continue cheering anil highly satisfactory. Cotton was firm and steudy, and breadetuffs gene rally had declined.

England.—The effect of the withdrawal of the French ambaeeador produced a sensible effect on the Hinds, hut they soon raid ;d. and the belief was gene ral that nny movement on the part of the French'w as a mere ru-e of the ministers, to enable them to car- •y tl^new election law. Circulation has hern given to an insulting note from Russia addressed to Lord Pulmerston, condemning in strong terms the policy of tho English govern nient in regard to the Greek question. Tae conclud ing sentence of this note is as follows; "As the manner in which Lord Palmerston under stands the protection due to English subjects in for eign countries carries with it much serious inconve nience to Russin. Russia ami Austria will not henceforth grunt liberty of residence to Enelish sub jects, except on condition of their renouncing the protection of their governments." In reference to this note the editor of the New York Commercial says: We have serious doubts that the alleged extract from the note of the Russian Government to Lord Palmerston is faithful to the original. It reads more like the gossip of some letter writer about the pro bable contents of ^uch note. If such language has been employed by Russia, her Emperor should apply for the succession in Chirm. rruisia.—An attempt to assassinate the King of Prussia has created quite a sensation throughout Eu rope. The attempt was m ide at Postdam. by a Ser geant of Artillery, who tired a pistol at Ilia Majesty Washington, Monday, June 8. Governor Washing ton, of New Mexico, arrived ou Saturday night, bring ing important news from Santa Fe. I learn thnt not long before he left a public meeting was held to con sider the boundary question and the claim of Texas, when a hot dispute nrose between a number of citi zens and TeXans. The meeting resulted in li fearful riot, which was about to end in a general fight, when the officer commanding the garrison ordered the troops to interfere and prevent bloodshed, which was done, though not without difficulty. A great excite ment prevnils in the city, the people of which declare that they will oppose to the utmost the attempt to force upoh then! the authority aud laws of Texas. I learn that information has been received at the State Department, that another Notional difficulty is about being developed. The Portuguese government has partially refused indemnity in the case of Priva teer Armstrong and others,and the Hon. James Brown Clay, the American ehnrge d’ affairs at Lisbon, lias, in consequence, demanded and- received his passports and is now ou his Way hom6. The-President will send a special messnge to CongrcsStfn the subject. Cuba.—Excitement in New.'Orleans.—The Philadel phia Inquirer, shys that letters; havu. been received from highly respectable sources in New Orleans, sta ting that, the excitement in that city with regard to Cuba was greater than ever, aud thnt thousands Would at once go there, if there nny ihcane of convey ance. He adds that nnotUcr expedition is on foot, ond thnt the ill success of Lopez and his handful of followers had not, in the slightest degree, dampened the feeling in-favor of tire enterprise. It is urged that if the whole Spanish army could not prevent Lopez from landing, thnt it would lie easy to land at any time a inrger force. The indications are, tliut trouble will grow out of this business. ’ Washington. June fi, 1850. The opposition to the adjustment bill is evidently'much modified within n few days pact The democratic union party, both of the North and South, are evidently coming forward to its support, in' nlmo-t undivided column. Mr. Clay's name still excites ejithu.-iasm among the peo- plt—aud with the whig party it is a tower of strength. The estimates, this riioming. show a certain vote of thirty-one for the adjuctment in the Senate. Thut it will pass the House, if it get through the Senate, there is little doubt, • and there is just'as little that it will be hailed with enteusiasm by a very large ma jority of the people. lUondnv Morning, June 10, 1850. New Shit.—The new Ship State Rights, Cupt. Warren, sailed from Gnrdinei. Maine, on tho 1st inst., for this port. We may expect her in a few days. Our Government und Cuba. Late accounts from Waihington reiterate tho state ment that President Taylor has authorised our con sul at Cuba to demand that the American prisom rs taken on the Island cf Contey be given , up to him to be dealt with by our authorities. The latest advices from the Island state that the Cuban authorities refuse to surrender them. And a despatch from Washing ton dated 4th inst says that the Spanish Minister will soon present, under proper instructions, a demand upon our Government for indemnity, on account of the late piratical invasion of Cuba, by parties organi zed in the U. S. The amount of indemnity will he very large. The Isabel, it is surmised, will bring des patches to the Spanish Minister. The demand for in demnity will be sooti after urged, and accompanied by documentary evidence of the ravages committed by the American invaders. The British and French Ministers will make strong remonstrances against the permission by tho U. S. of the violation of treaty ob ligations and national law. Thus it will be seen that the prospect of a general muss is decidedly promising. Good will grow out of it. and iuflicted a wound in his arm. The Markets—Liverpool, May 25.—The cotton market continues firm, at the extreme prices of last week. Fair Orleans is quoted by the committee of broke’-s a 7}d. The week’s sales amount to 32,000 bales', of which speculators took 6,000 bales. Coffee remains quiet and prices unchanged from those of last week. Sugars continue in steady demand at full prices of the previous week. A small lot of low quality Carolina rice sold at 17s. The money market continues tolerably steady though consols lutve slightly declined and closed at 95J Liverpool Cotton Circular.—We had a perfectly steady market all the week. Occasionally the de mand has been limited, and the business small in amount; but there has been uniform firmness nnd confidence, founded mainly on the ascertained fact of the short crop in the United States. Perhaps some of the middling qualities of American at or under 7d may have commanded a trifle belter price, but tiie change is so small as scarcely to be quotable. All other descriptions remain as before. The quota tions being for Fair Upland. 7ld ; Mobile. 7 j.l; nnd Orleans. 7Jd. Attention will be strongly directed to the amount of our stock ns compared with the period of last year. France.—Under date of Paris, Thursday evening the Loudon Times, in alluding to the difficulty with England, says: “Lord Pidraeirton’s offer of compr - mise lias been rejected by the Freneb government, hui! at tiie cabinet council tue President of the Republic declared thnt the acceptance of any other condition that the pure, simple execution of the convention of Loudon wna not consistent with the dignity of France, and to none other would he consent. The ministers unanimously approved of the conditions ami expressed their intention to udhero to and adopt them.” , , The debate-on the electoral lull hail commenced.— Tiie rl 'll was densely crowded. There was great ex- cit.inint. After the presentation of an enormous number of petitions from nil parts of France against the bill, aud altera preliminary contest on the ques tion of urgency, it was carried ogniust the Mountain party by 407 So 233 votes.

The steamer Cherokee arrived here this afternoon from Cbagres. She brings dates from San Francis co to May 1st, aud over ouo million dollars’ worth of gold dust The Aits Calitornian states that since tho first of March last three steamers have departed for the At lantic cities, witli over three and a half million dol lars worth of gold dust. It wo- e timn e 1 thnt about 6000 persons were at the Middle Fork of tiie American, waiting for the waters to subside, so that they could commence operations. Mr. Tuom is, late mate of tiie steamer Crescent' Ci ty, was shot dend at San Francisco on the 1st of May, by the keeper of a Hotel there. The British ste-umer sailed from Snn Francisco for Vulpiraso, with $200,000in gold. Tho citizens of Saerehiento City are strongly in favor of the admission of California into tiie Union. The Legislature has adjourned after passing. 133 nets and 17 joint resolutions. Tiie whole country is clamorous for annexation. Trade has assumed a more lively aspect, though transactions are restricted. Flour is selling at 9 50 u $10 per bbl; Richmond 9 a $9 50. American rough lumber, per M, 23 a $25. Great excitement prevails ut Panama. The officers of the Echo hud a colored boy arrested for robbery ; the natives interfered nnd releused the hoy. The next day he was re-arrested, when a regular tight took place, in which Mr. Lemper, of N. Y., was kill ed. Five ot the natives were shot. The Americans t.nally turned out in full strength, nnd it was only by great exertions of the Govenor and American Consul that a regular and bloody conflict wus prevented. Further Jrom California—Arrival of the Alabama at New Orleans. We nre.indebted to the kind attention oi the editors of the New Orleans True Delta for u copy of their Extra of tins 3d instant, containing full details of the California news received by the Alabama. We make the following extracts. The charter election in San Francisco took place on the 30th ot April, nnd was hotly contested. John W. Geary was elected Mayor, and Tilford, Re corder. These gentlemen were tire regular nominees ot the Democratic party, it was expected that the same party would have a majority in the City Coun cil. Arrival of the Cuba Patriots at Savannah. On Satui day. forenoon-, the steamer 1 I'm. Gaston, Capt. Claghobn. arrived from Florida, bringiug 17 of the men who accompanied Gen. Lopez to Car denas. They are from Kentucky and Ohio, anil are a fine, intelligent body of men. They speak very highly of Gcu. Lopez and las officers, and in un bounded praise ot Lopez’s- courage and determina tion, und say if opportunity should again offer, they ure ready to enl.at under the Cuba Independent Flag. They left Key West in a vessel for Tumpu Bay, nnd from thence walked,to Piliitka, aud touk passage in the steamer Wm. Gaston, for this city. The lad shot at Matanzas by the Spanish authori ties, they intorm us, was nameil William Kelly, a native of Cincinnati, nnd 19 years of age. He was not one of the party who left Ngw Orleans forCubn, and had no partin the attack on the island. He was bound to Cbagres, but went to’ Cardenas, and alter landing from the Creole went on board of a schooner in tin- harbor with the intention of making his wuy back to New Orleans. The men who arrived here were not aware of ids fate, although they knew he had been left behind, and when infor ucd that he Imd been shot, they all with one accord, denounced the base inhumanity of the act. Capt. Lopez, (a nephew of Gen. Lopez,) end 29 Spanish Troops, who guined the Creole at Cardenas, are still at Key West, and intend to go to New Or leans. Thes troops are still determined to fight for the liberation of Cuba from Spanish oppression, when ever an opportunity is presented. Maj. W. Hardee, of Florence, Kentucky, is still at Key We9t. making arrangements to get the men un der his commaud to their homes. After the morning’s action at Cardenas, five of the men now here, took horses and went some five or six miles into tiie interior, where they met a small body of LaneeVs. These troops showed no disposition to molest them when the Americans approached and held a conversation with th< m, which lasted half an hour, On their return to the City, they discovered one ot their comrades, wounded, crawling over a vacant field in the suburbs, and at a short distance off. a party of iefantry, who. after firing at the wounded man, run up and were in the act of dispatching him with tlfeir bayonets, when tiie Kentuckians levelled their rides and brought every man of them to the ground! At Kej West snys our inlormant, the citizens of fered them assistance to take the Spanish steamei /’ surra which eeulii have been effected, Imd nut tlit> li. S. office!s interposed. One of the party informed us that when they land, ed at Tampa Bay they were short of provisions, and that Gen. Twiggs furnished them with four dnye ra tions. Two hundred of them offered their servi. ces to Gen. Twiggs to fight the Indians, on their own account, which offer the General declined. They re port that the Indians in Florida are quiet, and have made no demonstration of hostilities. Small parties 'frequently visit the different posts. Some of them express a desire to emigrate in a year, and others not at all. A mist, important bill, creating the office of State Assayer, M Iter and Iti liner ot Gold, aud defining the duties thereof, was passed at the recent session of the California Li gi-luiure. The bill provides that the office shall he kept at San Francisco, nnd that the Governor shall appoint two competent persons to perform the duties of the establishment—one as Di rector the otiler as Assnyer, Melter nnd Refiner — The persons thus employed sliull execute a bond— each in the sura of $50,000—for the faithful perform nnee ot his duties. As a compensation those i ffieers are authorized to charge one.per cent, on all bars or ingots ot cold issued. One section of the bill provides thut, ou the establishment of a U. S. Branch Mint at San Francisco, the Governor shall abolish tiie offices of Director and Assayer. The completion of the Pacific Theatre in Sacramen to City was celebrated by a grand ball given in thut establishment on the 25th of April. About 40 li*iies were present, and over 100 gentlemen, the festival be ing (the account says) the most animated, pcrhnps, ever witnessed in that city. The accounts from the mines are very encourag" ing. The citizens of Snn Francisco held an adjourned mass meeting on the 30th of April at which resolu tions were passed strongly urging the immediate ad mission of California into the Union. Case op Prof. Webster.—The Boston corres pondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, says: I have been careful to elicit the true sense of the people of Boston in reference to Dr. Webster, and I find that the conviction of his guilt is universal; and the opinion that he will be executed, is very general. This opinion is growing stronger, perhaps I ought to voy is ripening into a desire that lie should be execu- tearjirst, because of the strong movements niude in New York ami in Philadalphin, by the papers and by petititus intended, as they believe, to foree Massnchu- setts to .protect his life against her own judgment, and in defiance of her own private rights in the case; secondly, hecausefor years past the sentiment had prevailed that capital punishment ought never to be inflicted ; ai.d it is now grneraliy believed that this opinion has’ emboldened the murderer, nnd for the last lew years, there has been a more decided firmness in the decisions of Juries and in the executions. To nil this may be added the fact that the Governor has not the power to pardon, without the concurrence of his Council; and it is believed this could not be ob tained even if his excellency wiphed to pardon or commute. But it is believed that he docs not. Great Bank Robbery. Tiie Dorchester nnd Mil- ton Batik at Dorchester, Mass., was broken into on Saturday night nnd robbed of upwards of $33,000. The money stolen from the vaults consisted of a- bout $20,000 in bills of that bank. $444 or near thnt amount, in bills of other banks, and between $3000 nnd $4000 in specie,—gold and silver. A gzntb man takincun early morning walk, discovered $400 or $500 in bills of the Dorchester and Milton Bank scattered along the rood; this led him t> the house of one of tiie officers to ascertain the cause of such a scattering of bills, when an investigation of the Bank vault led to the discovery. We learn by a telegraphic dispatch that forty- one officers and privates, attached to the late expedi tion for the invasion of Cuba, have arrived at New Orlcuns, from Key West and Tampa Bay. JTgP In another column will be found a statement from the officers engaged In the lute Cuban expedition under Gen. Lopez. The names of the officers are omitted for proper reasons. We can, however, vouch for the genuineness of the document, as the original was shown to us while Gen. Lopez was in this city, with the nutnes of his field pfficers attached. The NASHVILLE Convention—ThcWashingtott Union contains extracts from a letter, recently Writ ten by Chief Justice' Sharkey, of Mississippi, the dis anguished President of the Nashville ConventiobTfo the Hoiv Henry 9, Foote, giving faj the ndhfision-.ef tiie former to'.Mr. .Clay's compromise,and commen ding Mr. Foote's patriotic efforts to effect its adoption." Judge Sharkey Would, have' it amended it possible, but prefers it, as it is, to disunion, and expresses the opinion tfcift MUsi'rippi will ghiu!7 ooqu'iesc^ in it Com. Stockton’s Successor The Portsmouth Pilot, in noticing the resignation of Com. Stockton, snys: "We hope soon to have the pleasure of announcing that our esteemed townsman, Hugh N. Page, who is at tiie head of the Commander’s list, is duly crowned nt the Navy Department with the-honora of a Post Captaincy." Political Meeting—The Whigs of Philnde’phia held u town meeting on Monday evening, nnd passed strong resolutions in favor of the administrations of Gov. Johnston and Gen. Taylor, and also in favor of nn increase of the tariff nnd the admission of Califor nia A committee of fifty citizens is. by one of the resolutions, to be appointed to invite Gen. Tnvior to visit Philadelphia during the summer or full. A reso lution offered by Mr. Gibbons, complimentary to Mr. Clay, and deprecating all efforts to create ill-feeling between him and Gen. Taylor, created loud cheers on the one hand, and much tumult on the other. It was adopted, however, without much opposition, after being slightly nmended. Wreck of an American Vessel.—Seizure of her Crew by the Savages.—Information has been received, that an American vessel went on shore at Arguin, west coast of Africa, und that another ves- took off part of the crew and cargo, and burned the veesel; kut six of the crew were seized by the sava ges ; three of whom died, and the rest are now de tained in Porterdeck, by a man who ransomed them, and who now claims $1000 for his expense and trou ble before he will give thsm up.
