Tribulation of the Federalists' . The leaders of the Federal party are at present in the deepest state of tribulation is regard to the Presidency. They may attempt to conceal it as much as they please, but the fact is evident that .our opponents are overwhelmed with trouble at present; end as the time for holding their Na tional Convention apprnachea, the quarrel between the various ' factions and cliqties composing the party, will certainly wax warmer and warmer. , The most prominent canoyates in the federal ranks, are THOMAS CORVVIi, DANIEL WE BSTER, MIMI CLAY, JOHN WLE•N, Joux J. CHIT. TENDER, JOHN M. CLAYTON, Gas. TAYLoR and '.... GIN- ScurT. There are other aspirants, of less renown, but equally ambitious, who have an itching...palm " for the Presidency among these we ay mention '1 Andrew Stewart and iMosea Ham ton, of this State. The two latter gentle men will probably be willing to accept of a nom ination for Vice PreSident I The friends of each of the above named gen.' tlemen, are very actively engaged throughout I: .e the c untry , in +eating the nomination of their Spective..fa 1 or ites. Mr. Cris: has un- questi risibly more s ncere friends ini the federal ranks, than any ot kr man. They look "upon hint a , the true and tried exponent of their views 1 —the al embodim nt of their political bpin. lions. They would father be defeated with him, ; hen meet with success, in rallying under the 1 ' banner of some otlier leader. In !advocating federal measures, Mr r . Clay, for many pears past, h es been consistent 411 d untiring, in and out off I , a, C re ong s.

In the ortb, it is probable that be Will be the most fo midable rival amongst all the federal competitors. SoMelxidnths ago, it will be re mem beret!, th t a meeting of Mr. All.chn'a friends 4as held in Ibis city. The, mostprominent actori at that meeting wasJamr.s DLIXLOP, P-sq,, a man! of much shlrewdness andl foresight. The Editor; of the Ame ican is understood to be a decided ~I. Las rei n, but will probably remain quiet while the coni st progresses between the friends of the, f other caddates. It-is Our opinion that:if another IVl'Lesir meeting'svas got up in this city, it would I be more successful ... than the last. "! General Tarcon's friends are probably rndre l busy that those of any , other candidate They I are composed of a dais of men who have no fix ed political principles,lfurther than an inordinate 4ove for the loaves and , fishes of office. ! They do -not stop to inquire what the political opinions ,of Gem TAYLOR are, or whether be has any fixed lie. litical opinions at all.l They wish to get til a whirlwind of excitement in his favor,! and run him into , ile. Presidential chair, because of liis military achievements in Mexico. Most of these hare been opposing their own country in all its difficulties with Mexico, ever since the war com menced, and have taken sides with the public enemy. ;They have no love fur General Tarton whatever, and only use his name and reputation for the purpose of advancing their own base de signs. The Tarcon branch of the federal party are opposed to the old hem's name going before a National Convention—fearful that the delegates might ivish to inquire into the orthodoxy of his political sentiments.. They wish to revive the scenes of 1340, and force the people to vote for the General “ without a why or wherefore!" In this county there are but very few persons who re with ' ng to le iccegnind as Taylor men, and this is tie reason that no effort has been made hitherld to get up a public meeting in this county.• • - Mr. Cotter's has his friends in the federal par- I • - ty,—and so have Messrs,'Carrisslistr and Cr..kr .

SCOTT is undoubt edly a favorite with' a large. body of the opposi tion,bttause he is well known to entertain opin ions in perfect accordance with the great mass of the federal party. - His political predeliitions have never been concealed; . and have never been the subject of doubt.

She was ni) other, it appears, than the betrothed of poor Ro bert Emmet. I am acquainted with the clergy-1 man who attended her last moments. She spoke, he assured me, frequently anti feelingly of ht country, and during her illness; which was rather protracted and painful, evinced a nobleness of mind, and a heroic endurance orsuffering, above all commendation. The story of her death, and pre vious connection with a younglofficer, as told 'by Washington Irving, and currently believed in Ire land, is, they say, without foundatiOn. She fixed her residence in Rome some time in 1840, wheb she was received into the CathOlic Church by Car dinal Odescalcbi, and since then, until her death, her life has been most exempliry, and her charii ties (considering her slender means) liberal in the extreme. May the Lord have Mercy on her soil. Her father was a steady and uncompromisirig lover of his country and we cannot better do honor to his memory than by sending up a pioui prayer to. the throne of merey'for the hhpßiness of his child."

There are ulso reports in circule. , lion, that the Secretary of the Treasury bad per fected a plan forraising the money he wants by an issue of Treasury notes in sums of not lead than $5O, bearing interest, and an issue of notes in sums of not less than $lO, not beihing interest.

Of this amount, P 0,041 issued by the Bank of the Northern Liberties, art,.,' at par. The other issues are now at a discount to per cent. It may be proper to state that the Car:isle Bank charter has expired—the ISloya., mensing Bsnk changed its name—the Lewistown, Susquehanna, Berks county, Northampton and Towanda Banks have broken—but this does not affect these notes—the State being bound for their ultimate redemption; The Berks county and To wanda Bank issues, have all been redeemed and destroyed at the Treaury.

We haus reason still o be satisfied that we have conceded those rights, n p'art, to the keeping and management of the President and hiikeonstitutional advisers." Liberty of the Pren Ito Pronre.—The Paris Commerce has calculated, that during the last 17 years, no less than 1,129 prosecutions had been di rected against the journals in the name of King Louis Phillippe, who had inaugurated his acres. sion to the throne by a formal promise that no prosecution should be in future instituted against the press. During that period, 35 journals were obliged to suspend their publication, in conse quence of the severity of the penalties. The wri ters were sentenced to 3,191 years and eight months' imprisonment, and the journals to 9,110,- 500 f. fine. Michligan Central Railway.—The earnings of this road for the year ending Dec.

The pews from . Amer ica, relative to the- progress of the- war, caused some , flatness in Mexican. The latest bargains in this market were Brazilian small at 80; Cbilien, at 50; Dutch two and a half per cents at 54$; ' , Mexican for the accountoit Peruvian at 27i Spanish five per cents at for money and the account; Belgium' our and a half per cents at 88 ; Dutch two and a half per cents at 55; and the four per cent certificates at 85., - In the corn market, to-day, there was a good demand, and pikes were maintained with much firmness at Monday's rates. The private letters froth New York, received to-day by the Acadia, indiCate a* 4 continuance of the anxiety which was reported to have been prey alent at the departure of the previous steamer:— The total amount of specie shipped to England since the middle of October, including the sum now broughLby the steamer Acadia, has been rather more than $5,000,000, and the rates of dis count at present quoted in consequenc eof the pressure for money are 12 to 15 per cent. for first class paper. Several failures are announced, but none of any importance, except the firm of Horace Gray & Co., the largest iron house in Boston, whose liabilities are about $1,000,000, and of whom the report is made, which we presume is as common on such occasions in America as on this, that they .‘ will pay all , and have a surplus." It is said their credit was undoubted up to the day of their failure. Mots &' Pollets, a small German commission house, is the only failure in New York. Others, however, are anticipated in the spring. since the low price of cotton is likely to break down some of their customers in the south. It appears for this, packet bills on England were sold at all prices, from 9 to 10}, but that the difficulty of getting rid of private paper was unusually great, and that specific orders for re. rnittances in gold, were extremely numerous.— That this state of things will rapidly stimulate shipments of cotton and other produce seems to be generally expected. Our produce," it is ob served by one writer, a must go forward at some rate or other, and shipments of specie be stopped, or we shall have a severe panic here." With 'regard to coffee, the very large parcels ofl Ceylon which have been brought forward, consist ing chiefly of the plantation kinds, have tended considerably to depress the market, and although about tyre thirds of the amount put up has met 'with purchasers, it has been at .a decline of Is per cwt The native kinds have also slightly receded in value, The prices of saltpetre are barely equal ' to the extreme rates recently paid, and the rice market is not only u heavy as previously, but has declined about Is per cwt. Of tea there have not been any public sales held, but pri vately the transactions have been on a more ex tended scale. The railway share market is still exceedingly full, and most of the sales effected have been at lower quotations. Within the lasj few days a great change has occurred in the aspect of business in this department. From the 0.

Italy and the Pope.—The people •of Italy, say. ..Dr. Baird, in his lectures, are active, ingenious and laborious. The peasantry are very industrious.— Even the lazzaroni of Naples, of whom so much is said, are not idle from choice. Of i their ingenu ity there can be no doubt. It was the testimony of a British manufacturer, who bad hundreds of different nations in his employ, that the Itailans are the most ingenious and skilful, workmen in Europe, the Swiss next, and the Scotch next. He placed Englishmen last. If the Italians were not ground down by political and ecclesiastical des. potism, and so governed, that enterprise and Industry are without avail, they would be one of the most energetic nations in Europe. The present Pope has made many improvements. He has enlarged the freedom of the press, andencouragecl the"publication of newspapers; he has encouraged trade, industry, and education—the construction of railroads and other internal improvements; reformed the administration of government, and organized a national guard. He has something like a legislature, and probably will soon have dne in reality. aci- The Boston Post says that the semi-annual dividends of Railroad corporations in that vicini ty, recently declared, amount to one million of dollars.
