| ) .< 111 the Manchetter Guardian.] Tut; Woman Husband in Mam mus ter. —Subsequent inquiries confirmed the 'truth of the statements made In the Guardian ot Wednesday as to this singular case. And, ns the circumstances of the ease and the name of the husband, have now become pretty generally known throughout the town, we fee no longer the necessity for concealing the lat ter. The assumed name of the master brick layer is Henry Steaks, her real name we be lieve to be Harriet Stoakes, and, until the late exposure, the parties resided in Cumberland street, Deansgato. This woman man, who, for probably more than five and twenty years, has succeeded in concealing her sex, and in pursuing a trade of a mote than ordinary mas culine and hazardous description, with a de« gree of skill and ability, which has led to her establishment in a good business in tins town, bound herself apprentice, at the age of Hi or 17 years, to a .Mr. Peacock, a bricklayer and builder at Bawlry, a small market town in (lie V est Hiding of Yorkshire, on the river Idle which separates the counties of York and Nottingham. She did not remain with Mr. Peacock during the wholo period of her ap prenticeship, but was “turned over,” as it is called, to another person in the Fame business. It was during Iter apprenticeship that she met with her present wife; and they wore married at ike < f.d Parish Church ol Shef field,in the year 1818, when the wile was only IT years of ago. thrice the investigation and disclosure of, circumstances on Thursday week, the wife and husband have separated. We believe that although no legal proem dings have been, or indeed could he taken in this extraordinary ease. Mr. Thomas, deputy constable, lias hud several interviews with the husband, in which ho has endeavored to in duce her to make some provision lor the wo man whom she has so shamefully deceived, and who, after having for 82 years filled the ’character of a wile, greatly henefitting the interests of her supposed husband, not only by her care ol household concerns, hut. ol lliv business, bonks and accounts, bad surely some claim to compensation ns a servant, it' she were unable by law to demand the mainte nance of a wile. We believe that Mr, Tho mas so far succeeded in this humane negneia lion, us to induce (ho husband to agree to give up the house in which they had resided up to the time of the discovery, with all the furni ture it contained. The wile is,thon.lbrc, still residing there; and the husband has gone to lodge elsewhere. Tne habile of the latter, wo believe, are much more in accordance with those of her assumed sox and occupation t han a woman; and no one except per chance from Iter beardless checks, and a certain shrillness of voice, could for a moment bus- 1 peel that the little broadset bricklayer was of the soft sex. At present, she employs in her business, besides being most industrious her self in its practical details and manual opera Hons, eight men, and a boy who is apprenti ced to her. In iter business and dealing site appears to have borne, hitherto, a good cha racter fur punctuality ami honesty in her pay ments; and we believe she has staled, that she has made enough by her business to enable her to live in ease without labor. Vet, , strange to say, with a degree of irritability which we should rather expect to find in the injured than tho mjurer, she vehemently refu ses to consent that any sum shall he set apart as a provision for her so called wife. Among other social duties which this female husband has performed during tier residence in (his town, is one that certainly it might have been expected, if tho least feedings appertaining to her sex had remained, she would anxiously have en deavored to evade. Rut, ou tho contrary, there seems to have been a sort of perversity in her, which carried her into extremes. She was lor many years a special constable in the Kith divis ion of that body, acting for this town; and we are assured that ou all occasions where the services of the division were required, as at elections, or ange processions, and meetings of trades unions, 1 turn outs, &e; so far from absenting herself from ' wh it, ns in tho ease of well-grounded appiohon- I sions of a riot, must have boon, to a woman, a t post of some unpleasantness, she is remembered t to have been one of the most punctual in attend ance, and the most forward volunteer in actual duly, in that division. We understand that she | is only no longer a special constable because shu 1 did not, mi tho last annual spei ini session, held ( for that purpose at tho New Hailey, present her- , selfti) bore-sworn, She was not discarded or . discharged; there was no complaint against her ; and probably the extension of her own business was her only motive for not resuming ilie duties ul this office. A SuNaniM: Woman. —A capital story is told in ilio Now York Gazette, of a Buckeye lady who know how to place a proper esti mate upon the Loco Cocos.

Although they have been substantially answered in the tt-ply ol the Department to bin Excellency ’« letter ol the V!Hth ultimo, the tenor of these in lerrogalurif a manifests sjch an extraordinary mis apprehension of the intentions of the Govorn t-nenl, that it becomes necessary, again, to explain them. His Excellency desires to be informed if it is the I’re ident’s "intention to continue the present delay in removing the Chetokces by the troops under General Hcolt for the purpose of effecting that object by contract with tho agents of Ross and bis friends, or any other purpose?” Tho De partment does not understand what is meant by tho present delay. When General Scott left Washington, he carried with him instructions to proceed without delay in the removal of the Che rokcos, and his despatches, since received, show that betook the proper measures to obey his in structions with his characteristic promptness and energy. When the conciliatory proposals of the Executive to the Cherokee delegation were sub mitted to Congress, the General was again in structed to continue the prosecution of tho meas mires lie had adopted for the icmoval of the In dians, and whether it was to he conducted hy the troops under his command or by the Chcrokecs themselves, whether it was to bo compulsory or vnlunlniy, to permit no unnecessary delay in its execution. His Excellency desires still further to know, "whether it is his (the President’s) intention to maintain the Indians by force upon the soil of Georgia, in opposition to the will of the Htale and the rights of its inhabitants, to whom the lands have been gtanlcd?” In reply to the proposition of the Cherokee de legation for an extension of time, they were told in express terms, that where the rights and intor -1 ests of sovereign .Slates wore concerned, the Pre sident could not enter into any engagement with the Chcrokecs, and that no delay could be granted without the assent of the Hiatus interested in the execution of the treaty. In asking that assent tho .Stales are merely requested not to press their claims in a manner to occasion unnecessary dis comfort and inconvenience to the Indians; anil General Scott is at the same lime instructed to commence his operations in (hut part of the terri tory where the lands have heen disposed of, mean ing Georgia, and to conduct them in such a man ner as to place the proprietors m possession of their estates with as little delay ns possible. Tho Department is, therefore, utterly at u loss to un derstand how the President’s views should have heen so misapprehended as to give rise to these questions, and now begs leave, through you, ex plicitly to deny that such are or ever have been the intentions of the Government.

The 1 Great Western averaged 7i} miles per hour: the j Sirius barely averaged miles per hour. Tho Great Western had to run 1800 nautical miles, and according to tho average, she would accomplish the remainder of the passage in 9J days. Sirius had to run 1,600, and according to her average, she would accomplish the remainder of the passage in not less than 12 J days. Tho general opinion at Bristol is, that if the weather continued adverse after tho 15th, the Great Western will have reached New York first.

Onii.t.—By the French brig of war Brisson, arrived at Bio from Valparaiso, letters were recci-* ved us late as March 17th; 15 days later than tho advices lately received at Baltimore. The war against I’eru was proceeding sluggishly, for want of money. It was however said that an expedi tion of 8 vcssclss, having 1000 men on board, was about to sail for Peru, in order to blockade Callao, and other Peruvian ports, and lo land troops at any places where tiro enemy could be advantage ously assailed, or where those of the inhabitants could be aided who were disposed to shake oil’ the yoke of Gen. Santa Cruz. The general opin ion among the best informed persons, was, that 1 CUiU would -nip little advantage from (Iris expe- I dilion. The talk was, originally, of making it | comprise 6000 men. Commercial business was at a very low ebb, 1 and no hope of improvement during the continu- 1 anco of the war. * Another SrEiMRuiT Burnt.—We learn ( from the Cincinnati Express, that !he steamboat ( Conqueror, Capt.

" Tho political elements here ate in a state of great agitation. The great and but lately over powering Whig party, is breaking up. The seeds ol disunion are plentifully scattered among those who have been distinguished as “Nation ah.” Those who have been known as uniform and consistent “Democrats" in contradistinction to Federalists and Nationals, are also shaken and divided. There are elements of disunion in that party which will soon work its division or a change of its men and measures, and lam prepar ed to witness a movement which will have for its object the more complete union of Southern interests, and the consequent elevation of John C. Calhoun to the Presidency. There is a move ment in tho public mind towards this object; I witnessed it during the past year in Pennsylvania, the state which gave Mr. Calhoun an early and strong support as a candidate for the Presidency, and which has never withdrawn her affection from him, notwithstanding all the struggles and collisions which arose from the high Tariff sys tem. Tho politicians, following in tho wake of public sentiment, arc here and there; in conver sation and in the press, indicating Mr. Calhoun as tho Candidate of tho Democratic party.” The Savannah Georgian of the I4lh inst. says: Five hundred and fifty tons of Iron for tho Cen tre!

This is looked for with great anxiety by our financial man, as the pros pects of the great staple up to that time will fur nish us a pretty correct idea of what wo are to expect from the United Slates Bank and the Sou thern hanks generally; for by that time the En glish manufacturers will have become aware of the probable outlet they may have for tho im mense stocks of goods which have been accumu lating on their hands since thb cessation of active business oil this side of the water, and cotton will be influenced accordingly.—ln the absence of orders, a revolution will take place in the manner of doing business. Instead of buying their cotton at home, and receiving orders there for goods from tho American importers, agencies will be established hero, and the goods sent over on consignment. This is already done in some instances, and tiro proceeds remitted home in the shape of cotton. This is part of tire great revo lution which has been going on these two years in the mercantile world.” Latest from St. Marys. The following is an extract of a letter, publish ed in the Darien Telegraph of the 18th, dated ST.
