of inimitable Mickey Free! And yet, all the

claimed for his services, was that when the ladies

Verily, nothing. This being Leap year, too, were
I to introduce a few here, the most handsome one
might choose to fancy me, and of .course I dare
not refuse the tempting offer! But, to the point .
My friend Edward Gratton and I entered the
County Down, a little below Newry, made War.
renspoint and Rosstraver, two pretty little villages,
whiCh are resorted to in the summer months for
sea bathing. Directly opposite, in the County
South, stands Carlingford, so justly famous for its
delicious oysters. Then there was Caitlewellan,
(Lord Roden's Town,) and Slieve Donard, and the
Mourne Mountains, at the foot of which, the fish
ing village of Newcastle, inauspicuoinsly looks
out on the Irish Sea. We were here informed,
that a short time previous to our visit, an im
mense shoal of fish having been on the coast,
the boats were manned by every band that could
be bad for the employment of cathing them
They were not lOng at sea, when a dreadful storm
arose; the boatmen prepared to return, and then
pulled tor their lives. The storm fiend mocked
their efforts; the waters broke and overwhelmed
them ; ay, every man of them found a watery
grave in sight of their peaceful dwellings. This
visitation of Providence bereft above 200 fami
lies, of husbands, fathers and brothers!
A little below Donagbadee, in the bay of Dun
drum, lay the Ocean Leviathan, the Great Britain.
' When viewing her gigantic hull, on that ocaasion.
we had not the remotest idea, that ever she would
be afloat rgain, but Mr. Brunel!, more fortunate
than his competitors—and be it remembered, that
the very best Engineers of
,Europe and America,
visited, with the intention_ of raising her—succeed
ed in floating her. She has been duly repaired,
and - the curious in such matters, may gratify their
curiosity in inspecting her, if they only take the
trouble of going to Orleans, at which post she
will run once a month .with the European Mail.
Having taken a regular survey of the Down
shire coast, from Newry to Bangor. and of the
Isle of Man, we proceeded to Dowupatrick, where
in one grave, repcse the mortality of three
Saints :—BRIDGET, P•TRICIC and COLUTBRILLE
On Sunday morning, my liberal friend, Grattan,
accompanied me to the Episcopal Church. Why !
I did not question. The congregation was large
and extremely fashionable. In the pew next to
us, sat the officers of the Cavalry and Infantry,
who filled the body Of the church. Before us sat
the Marchioness of —, (1 dare not be more
particular.) and her amiable daughters. Edward
whispered to me, Do you observe those ladies at I
their small talk. I'd bet a sovereign they are
chatting about my appearance here to day. Well,
if they are, though a Catholic, they'll find that 11
can chaunt the service as we'l as themselves. I'll
give them something to talk !" and to it, be went,l
but no sooner did the fair ones behold him rise, and
join in the choir, than they (perhaps as a speci
men of their aristocratic manners) gave vent to
a low, bitter, or ironical laugh, on observing
which, Edward looked G 4 pounders at them, shut
/ qte of his eyes firmly, and continued-singing
before, which so disconcerted the amiables
at they resumed their seats. Ere the service
was concluded, a tall and rather good looking,
dragoon, entered the church, his sabertash and'
accoutrements so bespattered with mud, that it
was evident he had had a severe ride ; and pro.
seeding to where the officers sat, he presented the
Colonel with a large packet, the red seal 01
which bore the Royal Arms. No further notice
was taken, of the interruption, and on leaving
the church, after service, Edward and I walked,
or sauntered directly to the residence of his fath
er. We had not gone far, however, when we
were over4ken by_the glittering carriage of the
Marchioness, who appeared to be informing her
self of the conduct of Gratton, and just as it
drove up, we heard her mention his name. The
wild youth needed not another word; be walked
from the footpath over to the carriage, and milk
tug,a.: deferential bow, he inquired of the Mar
chioness if she bad been speaking to him?. " No
, str," said she quite stiff, and with a formal jecture,
"No sir, I was not." " 'then, madam, .if you
were not speaking to me, you.were most:certain
ly speaking at me ; however, the consequence is
not great : good morning. madam !” Saying which
he rejoined me. He then told me, that he de
lighted to perplex the ladies of this family, the
"old one" dreading that he would, some day, run
off with the best of her amiables. He was de
scended from as high a " stock " as they were;
hail as good possessions as they had ; 2nd wanted
only a title to place him on a par.
After dinner, we learned that the military had ,
got the Rocr," and were to march in two hours ;
so we determined to witness the departure. Ar-
rived in the barrack yard, all was confusion and,.
hurry., Sweethearts looking for their lovers; cre
ditors with profit and loss faces as longer my arm,
earnestly pressing the Tayment of their bills;
draymen, and others, packing up baggage; and
manyanother bustling item, as the drapers would
say, too numerous to mention here. The non.
comosistio . ned officers had some trouble in collect.
ing the privates; but with the last tip of the long
roll on the drum, they fell into rank; and the

ter having proved satisfactory, a few preliminary
,orders were given, and the band was ordered to
the right of the wing. The Colonel then gave in
succession, stand at ease; attention! shoulder

o'clock, the dragoons were in their saddles, and in

Perhaps, the giteat'est demonstration ever I wit-
nessed, was that rritAhe opening of the Gillespie
monument, in the town of Comber. The testi

The processioh consisted (I think,) of upwards,
of 200 Lodges of Free Masons, wearing their re-'

and Scotland, arid many others travelled a great
distance to be present at the ceremonial. Near to
the base of the Imoisiument, stood the Fathers of
the Order, with thelS! jewels and insignia of office,
and the several pistin g ujshed orators, who came
to do honor to tie , memory of the dead, and the

over by Colonel , Cpirne,s, through whose instru

The President.—The Federalists.
The Federal leaders in Congress, and the Federal
editors in every quarter, have recently had their
patriotic indignation aroused. to the highest pitch
in consequence of a communication from the
President to the House of• Representatives. The
origin of this outburst lies in a resolution, adopted
by the Federal majority in theHouse,calling upon
the President for "any instructions which may
have been given to any of the iofficers of the army
or navy of the United Stat u es, or other persons, 1e
regard to the return of President General Lopez 1,
de Santa Anna, or any other Mexican, to the re
public of Mexico, prior or subsequent to the order
of the President, or Secretary, of War, issued in
January, 1846, for the march Of the army from
the Nueces river across 'the stupendous deserts'
which intervene to the Rio Nraude i that the date
of all such instructions, orders, and correspondence
be set forth, together with-the instructions and
orders issued to Mr. Slidell; at any time prior or
subsequent to his departure for Mexico, as Minister
Plenipotentiary of the United States tolhat repub.
lic," and requesting the President also to I .‘ corn•
municate all the orders and correspondence of the
government in relation to the return of Gep. Pare
des to Mexico."
The demand tins made imperatively; being di
vested of the usual reservation to the President—
,, if not deemed incompatible with the public in
terest all similar calls; and the President
very respectfully declines answering the call to
any greater extent than he would have clone, if the
usual call had been made. ;He has submitted to
the House a considerable amount of correspondence
in relation to the ibatter ; but informs that body,
that a large proportion of that which is embraced
within their call, is of a character not to be made
public at this time, without great injury to the
public interest.
With regard to the British steamer having car
ried Parades into Vera Crnz, a correspondence has
taken place between Mr Buchanan and the Ameri.
can Jlinisterat London, who laid the case before
the British Government, which has drawn forth
the following letter from Lord Palmertson <
Foreign Office, Nov 16, 18.17.
Stu answer to your letter of the Sth
instant, (ultimo,) complaining of the . con
duct of Capt. May, of the British mail steamer
Teviot," in having conveyed / General Parades
from Havana to Vera Cruz, in the month of Au
gust, I have the honor to state to you, that the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, having
investigated the circumstances of this affair, her
Majesty's government have informed the directors
of the Royal dlail Steam4acket Company, to
wh o m the steirner *Te , iot " belongs, that the
directors are bound to testify, in a marked manner, I
their disapproval of Capt May's conduct, in hav-1
tog thus abused the indulgence afforded to the
company's vessels by the government of the 17111-
ted States, tint the directors of the company have
accordingly stated to her Majesty's government, ,
that they wilt immediately suspend Capt. May
from his coftyn and; and that they publicly and
(flannelly ciihdemn any act on the part of their
office-a, which may be regarded as a breach Of
faith towards the government of the United States,
or as an infringement or invasion [if the regula
tions established by the United States officers in
those ports of Mexico whiCh are occupied by the
forces of the United States.
I base the honor I r be,
George Bancroft,/ke , &c.
Among the documents relative to the admission
of Santa Anna, the following, from Com. Connor
The very nature of the duties imposed on the
President of the United States . , requires that much,
in relation to our intercourse with foreign pow
ers, should be left to his judgment, and that of
his constitutional advise* This has been denied
under no administration'', since the origin of the
government; and nothing but malignant party
spleen would Attempt to make it appear that
the President was pursuing any other than the
clear line of duty, in Fe fusing to comply with
the demand of the House, made in the manner
it has been. It nothing but an honest desire
for. the good of the cOtintry had prompted the
majority, they would at once have recognized the
position in which their call, if complied with,
would place our affairs with Mexico; and, instead
of determining to force, before the country and
world, matters which any Statesmen would know
ought not to be made 'Public, they would have
so framed their call, at, to secure all which was
necessary to be made public; or, if they ,could
not act without all the correspondence, they
might at least have offered some assurance that
it would not be made public, until there could be
no disadvantage in doing so. -
But, in any event, this is a mere question of
constitutional privilege, of which every President
has, to a greater or less extent, availed himself.
Mr. Polk has a right to avail himself of an&
constitutional prerogatiee which has been enjoy"
ed by aby of his Predecessors . ; arid yet, notwith
standing thie, there is no eat of hie -&ssl . ministra
lion, 'which 'goes to fa Rin:film a greater desire
to entrench himself behind, his constitutional
privileges, than other Presidents have done. In
deed we think'. that a contrary Charge might be
much more easily - sustained. All the bluster
now made by the Federal leaders, is not to be
looked upon, by men having any knowledge of
our politico] history, a 3 any thing but mere
party clap.trap, for the purpose of trying to gull
the People.

We are indebted to rtlr. Norms, of the House
of Representatives, for a copy of this document.
We learn from it that the number of volunteers
and militia enrolled is 5,101 divided into 1,736
companies, 173 regiments, 30 brigades; 30' Briga
dier and 17 NLijor Generals; and that, to arm this
force, the State has 15,268 muskets, 4,76 S lilies,
and about 7,000 swords, besides cannon and small
arms. The report is brief and well written ; and
gives to the public correct information relative to
the different tram:actions in This department of the

we are fully persuaded. His sterling integrity as
a man and a politician was admitted—his experi

man charge him with speculation upon the fears
or wants of a client. He never took lessons in
the Vicar of Bray" school. Ho is a man of
principle in proportion to his interest—and yet he
is overlooked in a Whig convention. And huw
shall we account for this, but on the ground that
the party leaders recognize the claims of no man
not connected with the Regency."

As we learn from the Si. Louis Union, Mr. O'R.
announces himself ready to complete the whole
line to the Pacific Ocean, within twelve months
after the passage of a Congressional bill for the

importance to the Gouernment and people—the
union of the Atlantic and Pacific by "links of
lightning"—giving to the inhabitants along ) the
American shores of the two great oceans, instant
communication. The subject is worthy of Con
gresdonal attention.

- Free Lecturer.
We have the pleasure of announcing the arrival
of Mr.Armee of Boston, a dietingiiiihed Lec
hirer, who will deliver his introductory this evto
ing, in Temperance natl.! We bespeak for him a
large audience. We understand his subject wilt
be " Commercial Guaranteeiam."
" To LET."—We are astonished at the number
of hoiises, offices, store rooms, &c, now offered.—
We eannot see how landlords can , dare attempt to
raise the rents. ',We noticed, in one square, that
every brick houie had a AT° Let" on it. Whole
blocks, (particularly new ones,) will be in the
market.
Now, we say again, lei tenants resist the impo
sitions of property•holders. Houses of all kinds
will be plenty—the first ,of April will find hun
dreds vacant. 'The price should be lowered in
stead of raised. t
—We see the Alleghenian notices a new scheme
of speculation thus •
have been told that there have been cer
tain persona engaged in speculations upon house ,
rent in this city. The plan is, to rent without any
intention to Occupy, and, subsequently those rent
ers 'sub let to the highest and best bidder. Own
ers of property should . guard against; genteel
swindlers of ; this description, and tenants would
do well to protest against encouraging-imposters
of so mean a class. We propose to publish the
names of such persons as shall be found engaged
in a business both disreputable and oppressive,
calculated to render the poor houseless, or drive
them into miserable sheds, that will afford them
no protection from the 'peltings of the pitiless
storm."'
NIGHT POUCH—The Police Committee ap
pointed for the present year, is an excellent one, in
iiurjudgment. We hope, and 81;) do all our citizens,
that they may exert themselves in securing a more
efficient night Police, or in making such- regula
tions as will render the present force of more val
ue. Some change is called for. In the judgment
of the Committee is reposed the plans for , a re
form.
It would be unjust to condemn the entire Night
Police, for we know that many of the membety
are most vigilant and excellent men; but that a
few are totally unfitted for the place, we are cr.
fident. Such should be removed. The Mayor is
well aware Of the character of all, and as an im•
partial officer, • should; and,.no doubt, will re
port those who h ~ e been derelect in duty doting
his administration.

not much satisfaction his been given to the whigs
generally. Many aspirants for places have been
sorely disappointed, and they have sworn hostility
to the members who "flung them," and one de
feated candidate has • declared that " he is done
with the whigs." We know but little of the ,
family quarrel, and care less. It originated, as we
are told, in the whig caucus—the members from
the -new Wards bolting outright. We do not
know how many of the caucus Candidates were
elected. A spirited opposition was made to them.
The Democrats were. not organized, and each one
voted as best suited him: .One Democrat 'was
elected, over his Whig competitor—we mean our
friend R. M. Young, (Who sings Teddy the Tiler
so well ;) Was elected Board Measurer for the
Ninth Ward.
Tut Hays Buntstant.—We understand that
officer Scott, of Allegheny, arrested a man
named Hubbard, on Moiday night, on suspicion
of having committed the offence. He was an in-
mate of 'the house. The circumstances appeared
strong against him.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Hays and the servant
girl, made information before Mayor Campbell,
upon Ilia bearing of which, Hubbard was fully
committed. He wilt be indicted for a more hein
ous offence than burglary.
Artnitaws* SALoon.—The attractions are still
kept up at this establishment, notwithstanding
the publication of the .01d Hundree " Prize
Song! The audiences are tolerably good.
To-riight,there will ,be another excitement; a
silver watch is to be awarded to the author of the
best conundrum, and a hat to the author of the
sezond best. For particulars, see hills.
ALL Min INT FEMALE IN ETITUTZ next
Monday, the Institute Under the superintendence of
Mrs. Ing les,
t will commence its second session. We
have the assurance of the intelligent citizens of Al
legheny who are acquainted with Ibis institute, that
the teachers are in every way compe tent, and no
parent need hesitate to entrust chi ldren to their
care.
CT When lawyers from adjoining counties come
to this city, they should praztice as little at the
bar as possible. The sad effects of such national
indulgence, was Tanifested on Monday evening
A lawyer was found on the steps of a house on
Second street, in a most forlornly joyful condition.
An old acquaintance took . him in, and dad him
cared for kindly.
The weather yesterday was remarkably
fine; and business min talked of an early spring!
But 4et them not be too hasty—we'll have cold
enough yet! We. hope . so,at all events. The Ice
Houses are not Medi yet;and it is important to ev
ery class of people that there should be a good sup
ply for the summer.
Mrsrsaious DIBAPPEARANCE.-A lad about
twelve years of age, son of a Mr. Scott, Second
Ward, Allegheny, was sent to this side on Satur
day, by his mother, for some article, and has not
since been heard of. His parents are in great
trouble. No clue to the cause of his disappear
ance has been discovered.
0 :7. Mayor Campbell of Allegheny, has issued a
Proclamation calling for an election in the First
Ward, on the Fourth Friday of January, for a mem
ber of Common Counid, in the room of E. B.
Slentz, whose seat is declared vacant on account
of some alleged illegality in the election.,
i;;Q" We understand that there will be several
applications for the place made vacant by the re.
signation of Arnold Plurner, from this city; as well
as innumerable quantities from other counties.
This is all right; the appointing power will have
no difficulty in selecting a competent man.
0:1 -We understand that a negro, well known to
officers of criminal courts in the west, is now in
this city, who has, on his way here, passed him.
self off as an abused, and fugitive slave. He may
attempt his schemes here.
0:7 The friends of the Mystery newspaper, are
now giving an entertainment in Philo Hall, for
the benefit of that paper. It is said to be a well
gotten up affair.
ill- We are pleased to learn that H. Hultz,Esq.,
who has been confined to his room by sickness,
for some time, is now convalescent.
cry The Alleghenian advocates the old plan of
shooting burglars! We object. good Police offi
cers will take them, and "one living man is worth
a dozen dead ones.",

the Insurance companies, as they, on Saturday, of
ter a full hearing of the case, exonerated them from
all censure, and voted unanimously to pay the
