A. T. Stewart & Co., of Now York, have opened a soup kitchen in the Basement of their store, on the Readc-st., side, where a large cauldron of soup is prepared and dealt out by a detachment of the clerks, to all who apply, between twelve and two o’clock.

A despatch dated at IV ahiiingtou last Saturday, states that a captain of volunteers in the Mexican war. is in that city enlisting roeruits for the Kinney Central American expedition. Many young men were prepar ing to join, they receiving a bounty of fifty dollars in advance. An anti-slavery petition has been drawn up in Boston, urging the passage of a law: “That any person who engages in arrest ing, holding or returning a fugitive slave, either as United States Judge, Commission er, Marshal, Deputy Marshal, or in any other capacity whatsoever, or even as a .,,.0 private citizen, shall lie form ci incapable of die [ a - V) ;lni l (h e offenders prosecuted.— acting as a Juror 111 any Court ot tins btate, I ^ , . , . . , _ the city.

The Maine Law in Boston.—The inforce- ment of the liquor law gives a great deal of trouble in Boston. In six months there were four hundred and fifty-five violations will shake its fist in his face, and bribery will dis play its fat parse before lais eyes.

Thc poor will realize a part <;f the ticket-fine, two dollars a head, but if they ' ad only a little of what will lie spent for equipments and decorations by the fashionable participants they would need no more for tho present, at least. Thousand dollar shawls and priceless silks and satins, diamonds and rubies and all the shining wealth of Golconda and tho Indies will form a magnificent exhibition for the benefit of the poor. A great deal, however, is really being done for the poor at tho present time. The muttorings, and groans, and cries of desperate half-starved thou sands send a hoarse murmur into thc luxurious penetralia of wealthy homes and awake many from apathy and indifference. And those now give who never gave before. Here let us note an instance of liberality worthy of a “ merchant prince.” A. T. Stewart has opened a handsomely fitted up soup saloon under his celebrated store in Broadway. Air. Stewart superintends the distri bution in person. A poverty-stricken face is the requisite for admission to the privilege oftheestab- lishment. Some time ago, we remember, a noble- hearted German, who kept an eating house in Chatham street, was in the habit of providing meat-dinners for hundreds daily of his country men, free of expense. I wish all our wealthy cit izens could be induced to indulge in such invest ments. They aro quite ns likely to pay as the visionary speculation of stock-brokers. The unfavorable news front tho scat of war ex cites considerable sensation in. the community generally. There is a large party of England- haters in the city, mainly composed of the Irish refugees and their sympathizers. These do all in tlicir power to represent thc public sentiment as adverse to England and favorable to Russia, in this war. There is certainlya degree of ill-lceling toward England prevalent in our community, but it seems to us that it iE such ;is one relation might entertain for another, while he would still side with him if in danger from an outside foe. Some such feeling exists ns the husband and wife had for each other, who were constantly quarreling and fighting, but if a neighbor interfered on ei ther side both would turn upon him with the ut most fury. We believe there are few true Amer icans who would hear with grief and pain of the humiliation of thc- Anglo-Saxon arras before Rus sia. Under ull sectional prejudice and bitterness I are dow boxing ore to ship, which has been assay- j ed by Dr. Cotring to be worth 37 per cent. Mc- !

New Orleans, Jan. 5.—Thc steamship Cahawba has arrived from New York via Havana, with advices from the latter purr port to the 5th inst. The Prineetown arrived at Ilavanua on the 31st ult., after an unsuccessful search for thc Albany. She was to have sailed for Key West on 2d inst. The trial of Don Fraueiscq Estampcs, alias Mr. Laeoste, is progressing. He has mode a declaration exhoncrating Mr. Felix j and vestin from all blame in the affair of Baracoa, ic- j 5 udiating all connection with thc Cuban unta of the United States, and stating that Mayor Smith, in his inaugural address on Monday, remarked: “ Those familiar with the working of self- interest in these prosecutions, to evade the penalties of a conviction, represent that there is a fearful amount of hypocrisy, mis representation, and willful perjuries com mitted, indicative of a state of demoraliza tion so truly painful, as to lead many of the staunchest friends of temperance to lament that the attempted suppression of a vice, destructive to reputation and the body, should sometimes peril the soul by sins of a darker hue.” In thc New York State Senate on Wednesday, Mr. Putnam introduced a bill relative to conveyances of property for reli gious purposes, the object of which is evi- there is still among us a class still current of af fection for old England, thc cradle of Jehu Milton and thc Puritans.

It seems singular that there is not enough artistic enthusiasm in New York to keep open this magnificent collection at a remunerative profit to thc owner. The Burning of Huss ulone should make the man’s fortune, were it properly appreciated. But for this, as every thing else, tho excuse must be “ hard times.” All kinds of exhibitions, almost, are killed dead.— Barnum’s everlasting Museum stands where it al ways did, aud keeps going some way. Somebody up Broadway has picked up a kind of living mer- ‘maid, stimulated and directed, we suppose, by the hints in Barnum’s 'Autobiography. It is a living, amphibious animal, with the head of a woman and tho tail of a fish. The head is certainly a real one. As for tho rest, “ not knowing, can’t tell.” Tho day of reckoning has past, the bill day, the first of January, thc “ day that tries men’s souls.” Therefore, money ought to bo a little looser. It is somewhat. Thc reports from Wnll street are somewhat encouraging. As for tho lost specie which everybody has been hunting for, it is said that this has all gone out West. Reports from Iowa say that gold is plenty there, farmers with full crops and full pockets, in short, that thc land is flowing with milk and honey. They laugh at hard times out there, dou’t believe in thorn think them mere cant. This is encouraging to emigrants. Here we aro growing in numbers daily and thc “times” tightening correspondingly. A purse has been set on the head "of Robert Schuyler, thc defaulter, with an accurate descrip tion of his personal appearance. His confederate, Kyle, is now on trial. Keen, the warden of the Penitentiary on Black well’s Island, has been found innocent of thc charges which I stated in a previous letter. Itis thought by some persons hero that-Sir Job-; Franklin’s people did not die of starvation, hut were massacred.

The Washington Evening Star, of the 30th ult., has some pointed remavks in re ference to the results which may possibly accrue to the North from the higher-law teachings. It alludes particularly to the encouragement given to the mob to violate the fugitive slave law, and the application which the same mob may give it under their present circumstances. The Star says: It was designed to teach them only that the legal rights of Southern persons were not to be observed. Hunger is now, how ever, suggesting that if i£is right to set the law at defiance for so-called philanthropic reasons, it is eminently so, to keep body and soul together, and that it is 110 more improp er to own a man, than (in hard times like the present) to own the property for which other men have labored faithfully, and for a mere pittance, to create.

To guard against fraud, the whole ] grain crop of the farmers is frequently ex- 1 posed nearly two mouths iu the open air near the threshing floors, and large quanti ties of it are destroyed by wind and rain. Thus industry is paralyzed, energy repress ed, and the tillers of the soil discouraged.— Agriculture is also kept in a most barbarous state, and the whole country allowed to go to ruin and decay. This is the way the people are taxed and ground down worse than slaves to the earth. If we would avoid it, we must discourage a fondness of military renown, and cultivate no other love of war than that “ which is founded upon a determination not to submit to serious in- sultand injury.—_Y.

Gen. Scott on thc War. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, writing under date of Jan. 8th, says that lie has recently had tiie pleasure of hearing thc criticism of the hero of Vera Cruz on the war in the Crimea.— | Gen. Scott’s opinion on this subject is, of ! course, high authority, and we copy it bc- ! low: “ The Allies committed a great blunder in j delaying the attack upon Sebastopol as long as they did ; that immediately after the raising of the siege of Silistria they should have attacked Sebastopol, at which time there wa3 a comparatively small force in the Crimea; that thc Allies cannot take Sebastopol unless they receive reinforce ments giving them a superiority of force to the extent of from 30 to 50 per cent; that the Russian regular soldiers arc the best troops in the world for defence ; they never fly, but perish unless ordered to retreat.— He thinks the Allies labor under a great disadvantage in having two commanding Generals ; that the road to victory is through unity of design. The inference I would draw from General Scotts’s ideas, is that Sebastopol will not be taken; for I doubt whether the Allies can throw such a prepon derance of force there as is necessary. Thc General further said, that the Allies could not re-embai’k now without immense loss of men, and all the materials of war in camp, except the weapons in their hands. dently to prevent Catholilc Bishops from re- ! very probably in retaliation for that outrage.

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.—An application Mail Robbers.—Within the last two months, says the Baltimore Sun, something like twenty mail robbers have been arrested in different parts of the country and about half of them have been tried and condemn ed to imprisonment. The department ap pears to be exercising great vigilance in ferreting out depredations of al! kinds upon the mails. The remains of Gen. Robert Armstrong, late publisher and proprietor of the "Wash ington Union, were interred with imposing ceremonies at Nashville last Monday. December. The fever was at that time pr vailing to a considerable extent, but it was of a mild type. The British West India mail steamer Parana, with one hundred and fifty passen • gers, reached St. Thomas on tho morning of the 18th of December, from Southamp ton, the greater number of those on board for the different islands, the Spanish Main, Aspinwall and Vera Cfuz. On tho evening previous to her arrival, owing to the stupi dity of tho agent, the branch steamers had all been sent off’. To remedy this gross blunder, the Parana was despatched to Kingston, Jamaica, with such passengers as were destined for that place, Havana, and the Mexican Gulf ports, while the American revenue steamer Ben Franklin was chartered to take off such of tho pass engers as were bound for Martinique, Bar- hadoes and other islands in that direction. Most of our readers are doubtless well acquainted with the fact that the Franklin has been detained for months at St. Thom as, or from the time when she put in at that port, with guns and ammunition for the Paez expedition to Venezuela. Her com mander, Capt. Byrum, stated that all his papers were regular at the time the passen gers from the Parana, with their baggage, were transferred on board his vessel in the harbor of St. Thomas—that he had received both his register and clearance from the cus tom house. This was on the evening of thc 19th of December, and just after dark set in the anchor of the Franktin was hoisted, and she steamed out of the harbor crowded with passengers, among whom was the new Brit ish Governor of St. Vincent, Mr. Eyre. As she was passing the outer fort four guns, two of which were doubtless shotted from tho peculiar sound of the reports, were heard, and as the Parana passed out, half an hour afterwards, thc Franklin was seen lying under the cannon of tho fort. A small boat at the same time approached from the detained steamer, with word that she had been stopped by the authorities, and was not allowed to proceed. The captain of the Parana, with a shrug of the shoulder, said that he could not help it, and keept on his on liis way. If Capt. Byrum had obtained his papers in due from the custom-house, it was a gross as well as a wanton outrage thus to bring his vessel to under the guns of the fort. It may be that the custom-houso authorities had not sent down word to the commander that the Franklin had received permission to sail, aud that he was acting under an old order to detain her in case she attempt ed to pass out of the harbor. The next ar rival from St. Thomas will probably explain a matter which is at present involved in mystery. The Pardon of De Corn.—One of the iatest acts of Governor Seymour before the ! close of his term of office was to grant an unconditional pardon to thc young French man, De Corn, who was sentenced to the Stu'e prison, about a year ago, for the hom icide of one of his countrymen in New York. The circumstances of that crime are doubtles; fresli in thc remembrance of our readers. The pardon is said to have been granted at the special instance and urgent request of the Count dc Sartiges, the French Minister at Washington. As the applica tion for the pai-den was urged by the Count some months ago it seems that the Governor did not grant it without deliberation, or perhaps it may have been delayed in defer ence to public opinion. Tho Albany Jour- nal remarks that, “ Though the court and jury discharged their duty in reference to De Corn, there was that in his case which rendered him, after a suitable measure of punishment, not undeserving of the mercy which has been extended to him. He was tenderly reared, well educated, and, before the fatal occur rence, of good general character. lie was a grandson of a French officer, who, with La Fayette, helped to achieve our indepen dence. His mother and sisters divided their patrimony that lie might come and establish a home for himself and them in America.” Third “ A. IK. O WEN, R. CRA WFORD. Fourtli “ LEMUEL DEAN, G. IK. ADAIR.

The Immaculate Conception.—Mr. Walsh, (who is a Roman Catholic,) in one of his late Paris letters to tho New York Jourrnal of Commerce, says: “The Rev. Athanasius Ooquerel, one of the pastors of tho Reformed Church, deliv ered to a very numerous auditory, on the 12th uit., a sermon which he has printed, with the title—New Dogma, concerning the \ irgiu Mary, it forms a small pamphlet of thirty pages. liis doctrine produced a strong sensation, and oacame thc theme of controversial discussion in various social circles. His subject, or at least that of the Immaculate conception, is rife in all the Catholic world, owing to the Pope’s encyc lical, and the convocation of the Prelates now assembled at Rome. Mr. Coquevel treats original sin as an error, repugnant to the Gospel, conscience and reason. He con tends first—that in the beginning of human life, before the human being has seen the light, and after, before the awakening of mind and conscience—during our merely instinctive and vegetative days—there is neither sin, stain, nor condemnation : and secondly, that we are, in no manner nor de gree, guilty of a first sin committed without our participation, before our existence, many thousand years ago, by another. Of course he rejects baptism for infants, believing that it eannot effect tho matter of their sal vation. The able correspondent on religious topics of the London Morning Chronicle protests, inthenameof theEpiscopalChurch, against these tenents ; but the preacher is a skilful, experienced polemic, and eloquent rhetorician. This discourse is not without force of logic, and deeply impressive pass ages. Tho author admits that all human creatures are liable to sin: the essential fallibilitj’ of our nature is the consequence of the original fall. This view of thequestion is not new. COMMERCIAL. Socialist Movements in New York.— Tho Germans appear to be taking the lead iu the socialist and agrarian movements among thc unemployed in New York. At one of the recent meetings the Express says; “ It was also resolved that one thousand posters, printed in the German and English languages, be placarded throughout the city, calling on all working men and mechanics out of employ to meet at Ilildcrbrand Hall, No. 100 Hester street, on Saturday evening; for the purpose of completing the necessary arrangements for a grand public demonstra tion and procession, to take place on Mon day morning next. On motion, it was fur ther resolved to invite thc Corporation, and assistance of the Turners, and other benev olent and free societies.” The officers of the Commercial Bank of Philadelphia were placed on trial before the Supremo Court of Pennsylvania, last Sat urday, on a charge of discounting paper af ter bank hours at usurious rates. They are alleged to have levied over eleven thou sand dollars above legal interest between the months of May and November. In the course of tho argument on the subject the judge raised a question as to whether the court had jurisdiction in the case—the charge being one of a criminal character, over which the court had no jurisdiction ex cept for a review of decisions of inferior courts.
