In the speech recently delivered by Lx.Becrctary Walker, says the Baltimore Clipper, at a dinner party in London, we understood him to have expres sod two both of which (be liberty to approve and endorse* The first .was —that no government had a right tblntcrferd with the concerns of another country. Thai id the doctrine of non Intervention, os! upheld ;and practised by oar government since Us 'organization, and the correctness of which has never been,'disputed until within o short lime past. The second if the despots ol'-Eqropq. should eombine in a crusade against free institutions; and should assail England for refusing to unite with them, or (o compel her to substitute, a.mora despotic for her present system of government—that (lien it would become the duly of the United States t« unite, with Great Britain in. checking the progress if des potism, and in battling for liberty. These are the. propositions distinctly taken i»y Mr, Walker in his speech, and. wo cannot discover any inconstiency between them. They say lo iho na* lions of iho world, we disclaim all right or pretence to interfere with the' local administration of your affairs. You may adopt free governments or' despo tisms, as may best anil your own feelings and dispo sitions; botif, not content with cstablishiig despo tisms for yourselves, you undertake to compel other nations to adopt them, we, as a free and indipende’nl power, wilt assist to check your presumption, and to compel you to coniine your system of government, within your own limits. m, - England and the United States being the two greatest and freest powers—kindred in blood, insti tutions and dispositions—are justly considered the them oppressed exiles from nil nations resort Sir protection—and, in case either should bo assailed bp (be despots of (lie continent, with iho view of destroy ing its system of government, It would become Jhi Imperative duty of the other, lo go to tho reequo.- Such are our opinions, and we shall continue (d bbU and utter them, until satisfied, that they are'incotv sislonl with our duly to our God and to our. country.

Three and a half millions in cash, and the remainder in stock and bonds.- Curious Proceeding.— At llio lalo election in llio western district of tho first ward of Buffalo, U was discovered about 4 o'clock in tho afternoon, that the inspectors and'clcrks, and also challenged voters,had boon sworn on a copy'.of Walls’ Hymns instead of tho Bible; and the votes,of persons thus sworn, wore rejected* "for the reason that it was supposed the oaths which the challenged voters had taken aibounl. ed to nothing." This decision is not onjy strange but ridiculous. Tho parlies sworn sopposed that the book used was the Bible, and their voles should not have been rejected for the error ofthe inspectors. By the decision ofthe latter, it would bo inferred, that they believed that thb Bible possesses an inherent power to compel men to speak the truth, who, if sworn, even accidentally, on another book, would be disposed to utter falsehood.

Lewis, Esq;, and Theodore Coyler, Esq; ' ‘ ; The Catholic Cmmcn Case in Pitwduro.— So'mo lime ago, tho corporation of the city of Pittsburg, in cutting, a street,, rendered necessary by altering .the grade, did. considerable injury to the Catholic Go llicdral. Suit was brought to recover damages, but it was given against the church. It then went .to the Supremo Court, which has just affirmed the de cision in tho Courl bolop.. Tho Supremo Court laid it down that (o (tie. Commonwealth belongs the franchise of cvvij. a ira,iv» for .the, public; and streets regulated'and'repaired by the authority of a municipal corporation, are as much, highways, as are rivers, railroads, canals, or public roads hid out by the authority of,the Quarter Ses sions. Every highway, toil or free, is licensed, con structed and regulated by the immediate or delegated action of the sovereign power; and in every Com monwealth, (lie people iii the aggreato constitute the sovereign. But it Is tho prerogative of a sover eign, to bo exempt from coercion by action: for juris, diction implies superiority, and 'a sovereign can have no superior. But. (his prerogative would bo unavailing, if it could not protect tho agents whom tho Commonwealth has' necessarily to employ.— The injustice in this case, in which private properly was injured for Ilia public benefit, the Court thought ought to be remedied by legislation. Every.damage to private property ought lo bo compensated by tho Slate,, or corporation that occasioned It, and a gen eral statutory remedy ought to be provided, to as> seas tho value. ThoConstitulional'prov’ulon fur the easo of.ptivalc property taken for public use, extends not to tho case of property injured or destroyed; but it follows not that the omission may not be supplied by ordinary legislation. .

I Henry Cl at.—A. sketch of Henry Clay, in the Philadelphia Sunday Diepatch, contains, in, tho fol lowing expressive paragraph, a thought which has no doubt boon in many a mind, as It lus found Us way to many a lip: , , Nature destines that men shall attach themselves to the parties appropriate' to their minds and in harmony with their feelings. Mr, Clay was born a republican—a "Democrat," if you will—and what over nominal changes have marked hit career since, ho never pan bo anything else; and if expediency has over classed him with a party of a different name. K has only committed a libel on his nature, without working a revolution in his feelings, or rccrostlnir his sentiments and ideas. And here lies the giant error of bis o»r«cr-lho towering ami crowning misfortune of his life—that, made invincible by na. lure n his generous emotions and liberal ideas, he attached himself to a parly dead to the onr, and in* capable of appreciating the other. As a notural Consequence, Mr. .Clay could not bo appreciated «o. cording to bw merits? and thus he had to bear the weight of Ins rmty-and a dead weight it was— instead of being carried to power by its soaring buoyancy or its superior energies. • Deadly Malic*.— An attempt was msdo a few days ago near Sumtervillo, Sumter County, Ala., to assaaineto a respectable citizen there, named Thos. Ormond. The Sumter Democrat says: Ho was shot—no doubt II was (he design to hill. Ho is severely wounded, but not dangerously, we hope.
