Senator of Tennessee, is pressing with pharaoteristiq'eariiestii'esßthe following resolutio’n: V/A.l--.. •;/, Resolved, That so mnoh of the P” B )*® 4 ’® seoond annual message as relates to a roduotlon of the expenditures of the Government ot the united States, whloh is In the following woTds, to wit. “ I invito Congress to institute a rigid “™“W «> ascertain whetW. the excuses In all the doparb ments o'annot bo still farther teauoed . and l mise.them.alUhe aid In. my power in pursuing tho investigation,” bo ro'erred to the Oommittoe on Flnanof, and that' said committeo are hereby lnstruetea, 4ner first ponferiing wlth and obtain ing all.“aid/! and-information.from thoProsl dent ’and heada of the departments; as indicated In the President’s message, to report a bill re forming; as far as possible, the- expenditures and all abuses, if any, In the application of tho appro priation's made 6y Congress for the support of the various departments, and whloh Will reduoo the expenditures to an honest, rigid, economical ad ministration Of the Government. . We have little or no confidence in snch in vestigations tuj these/ They never result in anything, practical., . They aerye to hang, spoechesupon, to call ont pariy hatred, and to' create ‘ excitement.' Beyond this, they are simply Expensive and tiresome,. The way , to'reduce the . expenditures of the Fede ral Government is for the President and hiSi Cabinet to /set the. example In' the administration of the Government. That would he to' begin at the root of the evil. , : Mr. Bdoiiahak is, himself, a careful and economical man,.one who has lived a life of personal integrity; and yet, under his Ad ministration,’ there, has'been a profligacy of expenditure' of the public treasure never, be fore equalled in our history. Nobody doubts that 'iis Cabinet'is composed of upright, men in their private ‘and business relations; but they have stood by and witnessed, if they have not assisted, a degree of extravagance in their .own departments without parallel or pallia tion. Need we give the specifications of this distinct-and-formal indictment? We have only to refer ; the ' ■ reader to tho publio ’spectacle, enacted at our own doors, during the recent election campaign, when thousands of'dollars were thrown away to re-elect a faithless Representative to Congress. We have only ’to .recall- the contracts conferred Upon other candidates for Congress; the sys tem of paying large' stuns to party papers; and the general favoritism of the-Adminis tration '• to jobbers and others who were ready 'to’support its Bhameless Territorial policy. Even now the gravest charges are publicly made' against the Secretary cf the Navy lor overlooking justice and ceonomy in giving out a contract for work to be done at this port, nnder his control. Add to these the milllonsithrown away in conducting the .Mormon campaign; the money spent in Kan sas to keep np an army, and to keep down a free people; the overland and Isthmean routes to California, Sec., &c. The ’ catalogue is as familiar as it is fall, and we heed not elabo rate uponlt. Many of the expenditures were necessary, or else inevitable. We grant that much; but the great mass were in the last degree reokfess and unwarrantable. ‘ How. shall we economise ? That Is the 'question., Not, we repeat, by committees of Investigation, but by snch a policy as will re bnke the practices which' have grown np un der the present Administration.' ' If his may require time, but it will be wiser to. .arrest extravagance and corruption in this way than, by raising committees to In vestigate'. Let our rulers hereafter see in the thte of the present Administration an admoni tion; that will point : them the way to other paths. Cheap Postage. - It id reported that tb6 official 'estimates for ’theservlce.of.thePpst Office Department for the fiscal year ending Jane 80, 1860, reach the enonnbhs sam of exclusive of ocean'mail steamer service. This estimate exceeds the whole expenses of the Govern ment In the earlier days of the Republic, and indicates an .’unaccountable' Increase over the expenditures ofthe department in' former years, for, which it is impossible to perceive a' corresponding benefit. In 1863 the ex pends for‘ctrcrying the mails were $4,906,- 808; in 1864, $6,401,382; in 1865, $6,070,834; in 1866, $0,765,689; in 1857, $7,239,834; in 1858,■ $8,246,054; and'the estimated expendi tures for\iBs9-00 most embrace more than $10,000,000 for this service. Though this is avrapidly-growihg'natiou, we know of no thing .to justify this increase, of.more than one handled per cent, in aix years. Snrely, ifPoßtmaatet txeneral Brown is fit for hls‘ po sition, and.anxiohs only to serve' the Interests pf the pnblib, he'oan Add moans to- bring, the' expenditures of his, department within rea sonable limits., 4.. . ' , r The plan proposed to meet the extraordi nary ' expenditures pontemplated is ~liable to serious 6bjectioki,and cannot,we hope; receive the sanction of .Congress. TVe are surprised that. thp. Senate Post Office tioinmitteo should have agreed;to' reporta bill increasing the rates of postage to five edits'for all distances under three thousand miles.' Snob.a retro grade step would be n disgrace to an en lightened nation. The (blessings which have been reaped from a cheap and speedy inter communication among till classes ot our peo-' pie are so. groat and universal, that we are astonished to hear, from any quarter, a propo sition .to check this life-giving; current of In telligence. The operations of the Post Office deeply conceni the whole community, and ex ert, a powerful Influence upon the happiness and welfare■ of the poorest and humblest,- as well as the most wealthy and enlightened citi zens.. Raising the rates, of postage is one 1 of the most offensive ways of increasing the taxes of the nation that could bo devised. If the ex penditures of the department most be swelled to a fearful aggregate, it by ho means follows that those who conduct correspondence should be compelled to pay them. The Post Office has; as'strong a claim upon the general .trea sury fljnd as any other .department; and if any. deficit exists under the present rates of postage,,if should fee paid out of. that fund. A.U admit that onr present revenues are insnf •fleientto cany on the operations ef the Go vernment, on acconnt of the Imperfect charac ter 6f the present tariff law. If that is pro perly arranged and supeifluous expenditures are cut off, aucb miserable expedients as that of “ robbing the people of- the incalculable benedts of cheap postage will be altogether unnecessary. ■ Let. onr statesmen remedy at once the cause of the ' deplorable condition of onr national finances, and treat with con tempt tbe miserable pettifogging suggestions otin capable Secretaries. , 1 It li.tt good sign of tbe good time coming, that just as we ara preparing for a revival of hnslnessj conflrmatlon, strong as proofs of holy'writ, should come in upon as, to the effect that, the new gold region near -Kan sas and Nebraska, on our western frontier, is : not a deoeptlon. The treasure proves to, be abounding and bona fide. The peo ple. In lowa, ■ and Missouri, and in all the organized and unorganized domains in their vicinity, are preparing to move in caravans to the mines, and spring will open with an ex odus far.exceeding that Of California, because , there are not two seas between the gold and the; gold-hunters. See the letter in The Press of this morning from ono of onr most intelligent friends, at present resident in Ne braska./:-His-picture la glowing; bnt'its colors, do not' seem to be exaggerated'when placed by the side of. the' testimony fur nished by other witnesses. Meanwhile Con gress is preparing to throw the protection of the Government over the community in rapid conrse of crystoilzation. .' We are not, of eotirso, prepared to discuss the 'question whether this. gold will ondure; nor do' we conceive it necessary to dissuade men frdin'gping out to seek; it. From the be ginning, this yellow god has been worshipped, and so 1 it will be; perhaps, to tho end. Myriads,- of men have . perished in the struggle to obtain it. Onr riper civiiiza tion may have taught ns many things, bnt it has not taught ns to resist thess appeals' to self-interest. Wo are therefore disposed to regard this movement with favor. Happening at a moment when emigration has fallen off, it will revive the spirit of enterprise in every branch of Industry and labor. What ever will fnmish an alterative to the existing condition of trade—whatever will set the blood cbnrsing through (he various arteries of com merce—should be hailed with joy. ; Rio Janeiro.— By tho City of Washington we learn that the Brazilian mail eteamer, with dates frohi Rio do Janeiro to tho 11th December, had reached Lisbon. There is no political news of im portance. Coffee at Rio was, dealt in at 4,700 and 4,800 reis fbr'good first;' Btook 100,000 bags. Ex change o$ London 26f and 27. The riohest hah in Louisville, Ky., is James Guthrie. His property is assessed as worth $1,382,689, Railroad. .Onr thousands of California readers will read the republished debate which took plaee in, the Senate on the Pacific' Railroad bill, on the 18th instant, with much, interest. Their Senator, Hon. D. C. Broderick, in the course of this debate elicited mpre informa tion on this great question than many more demonstrative people would hove dono in a year. Every shot struck the centre. Practi cal and straightforward, all ho says is re spected ; and those who doubt his facts re spect his sincerity.' ‘While others have intrigued; Broderick has inquired; and when he Bpeaks,' which is not oiten, it is with weight and influonco. This quostion of the Pacific Railroad, around whioh the affec tions of the Atlantic States are clustering— at the same moment the evidence of their own selfishness, and of their regard for the welfare Of their brethren on the far-off shores of the Pacific—is calculated to awaken much inquiry. What Californio most needs is a thorough going statesman in tho United States Senate— oae who has no connections with an odious Administration, ono whoso whole career is orowded with evidences of devotion to tho South, and ono who is able, from his Indepen dent position, to attract to him the confidence of the North. Such a man is David O. Bno dehiok, whoso speech wo publish to-day.

The Opkha. —The production of 0 The Hugue nots,” lest evening, at the Aoademy, was an event of no ordinary, interest. The admirable perfection of the present opera-house has never before been shown so palpably, and the publlo of Philadelphia have nevor, until now, fully realized the, true sig nifioanoe of a grand opera complete in ail its de tails and acceßsorios. To Mr. Ullman must be awarded the oredit of this result, whioh is an im portant tribute paid to tho good sense and liho: railty of the pubiio-spirited citizens who had the oourage, and the perseverance' to push the Aoa demy of Musio from its inoeptlon until its final inauguration. The grand and imposing soenio effeots, tbe Immense artistio, orohestrai, and cho ral resources, absolutely essential to give proper setting to the immortal chef d'teuvre of, Meyer beer, oonld never be properly brought out in a sphere of action less limited than that of the Academy. The musio of the opera Is of a, sublime charac ter ; certain of its concerted passages exceeding in intensity of offeot anything extant in tbe range of operatlo writing. The beautiful duo botween Valentina and Marcel, in the third aot, the entire fourth aot, and particularly the glorious final soene of it, and almost oil of the fifth aot, are re plete with beauties which the musical ear can never forget. The glorious singing of Formes surpassed any thing the public here have yet had from him. It was, in every sense, nnapproaohable. The glorious song in tbe first act, ef “ Finita e pel fratl,” was given with- a power of expression that seemed Rjoro liketho roar of artillery than the notes of a human voice. Mad. Labordo carried the house by storm, being greeted, on her first appearance, with all the enthusiasm of %p eld and established favorite. She never sang mere ffellghtfaliy. Mad. Peinsot created a very favorable impression. Her voioe is a nob contralto, highly sympathetic, and nndor excellent cultivation. The scene with For/ne.s in tho third aot was inoomparably fine. Mad. Von lierkel won a great deal of eclat by her life-like rendering of thp ri)le of Urban. Signor Tamaro has a powerful, (hough net itrpot voice, and did comparative jastico to tho part of Uaoul. The ohorus was very fine, and the orchestra sur passed all previous efforts of the season. The soenio appointments in the third net cannot be too highly praised,' The whole of the immenso stage of the. Academy was filled so full tij'at (hero was no room lor anymore tor-stand upon it. The suite of Margaret of Anjon, mounted on magnifi cent horses gaily caparisoned, to the number of a seore or more, filled tbe centre, while in the back, ground and on either side wero throngs of tho ad herents of the,Oathollo or Hngnenpt faith, in va rious striking costumes, presenting a grand coup d’ail, whioh for effectiveness oould not be sur passed-. , .... , ■ , The opera will be'.repeated again on Friday. These Who have hot seen it oah form ne idea of its'intense interest or striking effeots. The house last night was a perfect jam. We should say thero was, at least, four thousand dollars of sub stantial reoelpts. It will doubtless draw for se veral nights, and Hr. Ullman does not err in annotmoing its repetition. DISAPPOINTED XOVE, MURDER, AND SUICIDE. Murder of a Young Lady bva Hejected Xover-'EUs Subsequent Suicide.; [From the Boston Traveller of yesterday.] In oar last evening’s edition we stated briefly the principal facts of the murder at South Prank* Hd, Mass., of a young lady named Sasan V. Whiting, by a rejected lover named Jonathan' Wales, while returning from a surprise party. One of onr reportorlal oorps was immediately deßpatohed to toe scene of the murder, and thn complete particulars of the affair, together with the oiroumstancea of tho suicide of the murderer, whioh had not been' discovered, .though it was suspeoted at the time our informant left Prank) In yesterday, are given below, with aa muob ac curacy os oould be obtained by conversation with those most conversant with all the incidents. Jonathan Wales, the prinoipal in the sod tra-3 gody, la the oldest son of Mr. Otis Wales, Jr., an independent and wel 1* to* do farmer, living at South Franklin, and was 28 years old. He was a young man of a very mild disposition, peaceable charac ter, and a good general reputation in the commu nity where be resided, being mnoh esteemed by bid friends, and by all who knew him. Rumor know not with how much truth—that he had several difficulties with young ladies to whom he bad previously paid attention, and that he had not been successful in bis love affairs, although his personalia *was rather prepossessing, and he was generally popular in sooiety. About ajrear ago, as we are Informed by Mr. and Mrs. Wales, the parents of the deceased, he beoame enamored of Susan V. Whiting, a young lady sixteen years of age, who resided with bor ■parents,-about a mile distant from his home, and about three-fourths of a mile from Wadsworth’s station, on the Norfolk County Railroad. A brother of Wales had married an older sister of Miss Whiting,.so that the families were already connected, and thrown in oontaot with oach other. He pressed his suit upon her, and according to the statement of Mr. Wales, and other evidence, she favored his proposals, and either reciprocated his affection, or pretended to do so. The parents of the young lady wero very uuoh opposed to the match, and urged the ,inequality of age between them as an important objection, forbidding her keeping bis oompany. They were undoubtedly engaged to each other at one time, though Busan denied the fast to her mother. But it appears that they plighted their vows.to esoh other, and know ing the opposition whioh would be encountered from her friends, agreed to wait two yoars, and to form no other attachment during that time. Be fore they were engaged,Wales had made her small E resents of jewelry, and afterwards he presented er with a gold watch and ohain. Thoy also ex changed miniatures. About six or eight weeks sinoe, an estrangement took place, probably caused by a ohange in her feelings, or a sense of duty to comply with tho wishes of her parents. He wrote her a note re questing the return of his jewelry, and she at once returned ail his gifts,—the yotiug man who was with her at the time of-the murder, we are told, being the messenger. That evening be appeared changed and unu sually sad. A portion of a soliloquy, “God knows and I know,” convinced his friends that his feelings were deeply'pained. He gavo the watch and ohain to ala mother, requesting her to keep It to remember him by. He. also distributed the other gifts, giving a loqkot to one sister, a ohain to another) and a ring to a youDg lady friend. Prom this time he began to change, acting listlessly, and growing haggard In appearance. Soon aftor, visiting Boston, no pur chased a five-barrelled revolver, and since then has frequently practised in the woods; this con duct led his friends to fear that he meditated saiolde. At one time after he had been shooting, be called at the sohoolhouee, where Susan attend ed school, and requested to see her at the door, but she refused to go. He was at one time heard to say that this and similar slights caused more nein-than the single aot of rejecting him as a lover. A bo at a fortnight sinoe, at a meeting of the South Franklin Lyooum, several young men, who had heard tho oiroumstancea of the rejeotion of, Wales by Susan, willing to sacrifice his feelings to their love for sport, arranged to have a dlsouesion on the subject—“ Resolved, That a married man should bo ten years older than his wife”—and to complete their plan for amusement at his expense, manoged to have him speak on the affirmative. The school-house was orowded, and, aB was intended, the discussion soon assumed a per sonal character, and his affairs wero alluded to with suoh freedom as to exasperate him greatly. After this he was frequently joked on the subject, and it is thought that this dis regard for his finer feelings oausod the deliberate commission of the double orlme. Wo have the names of those who origlpated the plan of the discussion, but refrain from publishing them; if the persons have human footings thoy will suffer enough without this publioity. Two tombstones will soon bo ercoted, whioh will bo lasting monu ments to their careless and Unfeeling oonduct. Last Wednesday evening he met Susan in the street, having waited for her to pass. He aoooal- • ed her with “How do you do?” ond immediately threw her a note, whioh was merely folded, and without an envelope, and then loft her. The fol THE PRESS. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1859. lowing is a litoral copy of tho note, with the ex* oeptionof a few oorreotipns in spelling, £o. : • gopTH FbaSKLIK, Jan. 9,1869.’ Miss Susan V. Whiting: " - ; My Dear and Boloved One—l take tbl* opportunity of writing to you a few lines to express my feelings in the affair between you and me, hoping yon will rewire the fame with feelings _for me. Busan, when I think this affair of ours over, and see how It is. aod what trouble It -has msde bstween us all, it makes mo shod many silent tears over It; for peace and harmony together Is the beauty of this life, and that this trouble may be done aw y with Is my wish and my grayer .Now, when we meet each -other, we make.no tilk together norseeeaoh otbfcp. O, this looks awful to me to think It can be so. But we krow that this world is full cf trouble on all sides of it—trouble that we need not have if we would only do by each other as -we ought. Why did not you, when you gave me that note, asking me for your ploture, give me the reason why vouwanted it: then £ should have given It to you if you bad tola me it was your folks, tbe reason 1 why you waotet it, then this trouble would not have boon; for it was your duty to have told me the rea son why you wanted it. Supposing I had atked you for mine, would you not have been likely .ty want to know the reason why I wanted it? I think you would, for you know the words that parsed between me; the very last .words—that night after you had promised to have mo—were that I should keep your picture and ynTmine, aad whenever_tve met each other, to treat each other with r- speot. Now I want* to askyou if you think you have, shown that respect towards me. Busan, I suppose you have had a hard. time of it with your folks—there is no doubt of that, I think, and I blame them more ihan Ido you. All I blame you for is for not telling me how it was; but for you to come np and say you never promised to have me, is awful to put up with I tell you., How can you deny this, I ask you? Busan, you are the one I love for all of any one else in this world. ' You are the.one whioh I want to unite with In this life. - O, do recolleot the promise you have made me and prove true to it, for if you do not it will rain me forever. o,Sas&n,cto have feeling for m«, I ask of yru in the narreof God, forifL-ConU have you I care not how toon X .am out of tfci k Wftrld of trouble, for my enjoyment and happiness will be b T a«ted forever. O, do not lead me thus far and then quit me, I ask of yon. I have you, Boras. any day when you will me. Now, will you go with me right off, within a few days. t ask you ? and wo will be mar ried, If you will. I will always use you well, If you will go with me. I will tell you a way we can do. and the folks will not mUtruat anything about it at all. Do right by me I ask you Su*au, and you shall bave a good home, and be free from the control of vour (oiks, for they will never be willing for any of you to h ve anybody that you know, if they can belp.it. Remember me as a true lover. Let all old affairs pass a way, and all things be come new, and all things right. Forgive and be for given.- Yours truly: please answer this and hand it to me. . Jonathan Walks. The following linos are written after the signa ture : “0, how I wish you had gone home wilh/me that night from the school-house. How much different this affair .would have bee n than it is now. Your net going hurt my feelings very much . J * By this timo both families had been led to fear that be intended violence, and on Sunday .after noon last. Mrs. Whiting, while in church, was so annoyed by his , appearanoe, and tho manner in whioh ho watched her.daughter, that she left tW oburoh accompanied by hor. Last Monday evening a surprise party, was given at tbo house of Mr. Nathaniel Hawes, about-100 rods from her father's house, and she was very anxious to attend, but her,mother had a premoni tion of trouble or danger, and refused her consent.* 4 Bho finally 1 granted It; on oohdßton * that she would ride heme with her - unole, Mr. Willard Whiliog, who was a neighbor, and .was..Jtp attend with his. adopted, .daughter Anno, She went, and Wales was also at the party. Heapi peered much gayer than usual, and laughed and played with the rest, butwrfs noticed to keep bis eyesrlvoted on her- At about half-past 11 o’clock she left the house in company with a young man named Ephraim Follett. They had scarcely pro*, oeeded fifty rods, and were nearly opposite the house of James McPherson, when Wales, having’ crossed a field from the house of Mr. Hawes, earn? np behind thorn. They turnod allttlo one side to allow him to pass, bat,he’ deliberately walked up to her, and lalsifig bis pistol, con tents of one banel, with iho mnisle nearly touch ing her right temple. He Immediately olimbed over tbe fcnpe ana disappeared over a hiU by the roadalcio. Tho yo»ag man aylth her felt her loan on his shoulder ana then drop H» was muoh frightoDed. and ran to the bouse for aid. 1 Mr. Willard Whiting bad gone homo-quite early wilbout bis adopted daughter, and Mrs. W, becoming alarmed at nor non-appearance, started for Mr. Hawes; when nearly there, she mot Sdlan tmd”Mr. Follett, and soon Anne, haying passed ber ip a oarriage with friends. 1 She was retracing her steps, when she heard a; report, and saw tbe flash of a pistol. She supposed it was fired in sport, bat sosn came on the body of her piece, who was in sensible, the blood flowing profusely from her wound. Follett, her'companion; was frantie with fright and grief. Assistanoe soon oame, and the wounded girl wss removed to the honse.-Hbe never spoke or reoovpred her senses afterwards- Dr. King, a skilful pby»ieleP> was promptly' oa)led, but only to see nor life ebb one With its purple flood. She died at about two o’olook, surrounded by ber friends, almost laid prostrate by the blew, with agony of grief. Early yesterday morning, a party consisting' of Messrs. Milan Cook, Herman Miller, and-Joseph H Wadsworth, proooeded to' trace the footsteps of Wales, who, it was anticipated, bad committed sul oide. The father had been previously advised pf the murder, and had. expressed the. hope and prayer that his son might be found dead.- They trdokod him for about a mile through swamps and pastures, to Bald Hill, where they found the .bod; at eight o’clock, In a pieoe of young wood land, flooded with blood, and with the pistol ly ing at the feet. He bad removed h|s olotblngiuf fiolently to piaoo the muzzlo of the pistol directly to his body without Injuring tho elothing, and'imd thus dieoharged ' itMust nilow tho pit of’(he stemaoh. He had evidently worn a ef olothes than usual,.to the party, to he prepared for the event, His boots were filled with blood, and hie olothes completely net with it: The body was taken to Mr. Wales’ bouse; and laid’out in bis favorite suit of black He looked perfeotjy natural, and wore a smile even in death. Besides his bereaved parents, he leaves three brothers and five sisters, with many other relatives and friends. His' funeral will take plaee on Friday at eleven o’olook, from tho bouse. His remains will.be in terred in tho family tomb at Bellingham- Miss Whiting leaves four siatprs qfid two brothers. She was an amiable young Jady.fepd ipuob beloved.'

A singular coincidence'ln regard to the sad. affair, is toe toot that for sopie months past an aged relative of thpdeceasod young lady has frequently expressed her almost certain fear that "something dreadful” was to happen to hor family, I’whioh they would nevor get oirer.” How fatally her prediction has* been realized,' , The oondqot of tpe young man is judged with great lenienoy .by the people of the oommunity; who almost uniformly believe blin to bare been excited on tbe eubjeotof his love, to uncontrollable and irresponsible insanity.

The time for the completion of tbe road is extended to 1865- It was stated in explanation that the said transfer by the Legislatures ot Mississippi and’Alrinma was judicially decided void, because it was not in aocoTdance with the act of Congress, hence the Introduction of this bill to legalize It, The bill was then passed. Mr Cobb, of Alabama, reported a bill amendatory of the pre-emption laws. lie said the object of the bill was to prevent frauds. Sometimts settlers on the pub lic lands only remained one day, and then eoM cut to speculators.’ The hill requires them to aotnally occupy for three months, and is for the benefit of the actual settlers „ Messrs Washburns, of Illinois, and Walbridob* of New York, objected to the consideration of the sdtQect At this time, as the bill propped the uprooting and et • tire ohange of alt the pre-emption laws.

The importance of its acquisition has been attested by every Administration for the last thirty ye»’»- JohnQnlocy Adams, in 1823, asserted that Its commanding position gives it the control of out com merce, which lendered it icdlFpensable to the United States to acquire. Mr. Olay annoaured a similar con' elusion, which has been concurred toby Mr. Everett, and every Secretary of State Irom that date dowo to the present time. >He prcceeded to show that every part or the Confederacy was (ntdotted in commerce, an* that it was only by the acquisition of Oqba that weran strike down the shackles whioh now restrain the trade with tfaqt Ibhnd. If, under the present oppressive system, ene’gies are so great, who can calcuiatu what will be their value under the free lotercommuni oatjon kpown tQ our country? Slavery, as existing In Cobs, is net so revolting as has keep described, nor were the free /o incapable of eplf-govera ment as has been so repeatedly stated.

Mr. Kbiyt replied that he did not bel’eve that it could be done by purchase The traditions and pride of Spain defeated all negotiMlOeswith that view. He believed th*re was ample re moo to believe that France and England are In dose alliance, but this should not influence opr conduct with respect to Oobx. There is a longcatalogue of aggression and wrongs to curfl'g, insults to onr honor, In com quence of whioh we hare the right to declare war against Spain We must bave Cuba which isabarrlrr in our path of progress.

DouflHSßTrNos-scnED,—One of our reporters hns unluckily fallen into the hands of the sheriff Howes summoned to eourt at a Witness, and somehow or other failed to appear. He In oonaeqnenea found himself suddenlyseised by a who “took his body” into custody for “ contempt of court,” The esse for which the attachment Issued meanwhile passed by, and the unlucky knight of th© quill has aat for Mine daya In court, learning law gratia while he wait* for his case to come up, that be may assure the court of his profound respect and consideration, and beg,off from a fine for non-attendance. r Seeing the Fhl'odelphia Curran, Dan. Dougherty , preparing to try a case, ho jostled up close behind that monument of the great King Alfred’s wisdom, the jury box prepared to listen te a grand treat of eloquence. Bathe wis doomed to be somewhat disappointed, for Dan. had a ease In hand f*r more pussling than the famous quandary of the farmer who had to cross a river, with a fox, the geese, and a bucket of corn. This wti Dan ’a story: Once on a time there were fonr brothers, John, Pat rick, Michael, and Peter, who first sgreedacd then fell out. John. Patrick, and Michael, had a aavlogs b»nk account in their joint names, and John and ?et*r went to the tauk'together with Peter's money aefi deposit’d Itto the credit of the joint aooonnt. Afterwards John owned in presenoe of a witness that Peter’s money was there, but when Peter wanted it they would not let him have it. So Peter called in the aid of the law Fl»at attaching the money—Dan always guards well against a 6re in the rear—he sued all three brothers together, bat was nonsuited,because whatever John might have done, there was no evidence to show that he acted as tbe agent of Patrick and Michael, who, therefore, could not be cost in the suit But if he Rued the savings he was pretty sure to he noD'iiaited, because Peter had so account there, and, by hie own sh wing, had put bis money to the credit of hie brothers. So he sued John individually, and he hardly got hia ease opened this second time before he waa again non suited, because he could sot take the money out of the bank as John’s without damaging Patrick and Michael’s interests, to say nothing of the injury the savings bank might suffer from having to pay over ega'n to them tbe amoupt to their credit. Ban made a gallant fight, but ell his persiaslve elo* Suence would not soften his Honor’s dear view of the Ifficulty in the pass, end the non-suit fbllowed. The Joarned counsellor retired to consider upmhts next move. Meanwhile, the money** safe. Successful Launch.— The announcement that sloop No 1 would be launched at the navy yard at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon had the dftet of attract ing thousands of our eltisans to that locality. Long before the appointed hour the ships Lauoaster ana Ooogrsss, and every available spot (or witnessing the launch, were occupied by ladies and gent.emeu eager to behold the interesting spectacle. The sloop was crowd* **d with vbiters, and at exaotly 2 o’clock she was out loose, and glided Into the bosom qf the nohle Delaware, amid the shoots and eh ears of the enthusiastic multitude. Miss Mery Florida Grice performed tbe ceremony of christening, by the usnal method of breaking abottle of water. Our readers have already been informed that the sloop Is one of the seven which were ordered to be builtbv the Departmental Washington. Messrs. Mer* rick Sc Sons, of our city, were awarded 'he cor tract for building two of the a’oops. Th'e remaining five are to be built at New York, Boston, Portsmouth. Norfolk and Ban Francisco. The sloop which was launched yesterday was commenc'd on tie 11th of September last, and has been for some time awaiting orders to be launched As in indication of the enersyand perse* verance with wblch the above gentlemen have ctrr'ed on tbe construction of the sloop, it may sot be amiss to state that, although tbe last of the seven to be commenced, she waa the first to he launched, which verifies the old adage “ The first shall be last, and the Us* first.” After proceedlrg up the river a short dir* tance she returned to the navy yard, and will beplaoed oh the dock, to be coppered aoa prepared for the intro* ductioQ of steam. The sloop is 208 feet long and S 3 feet 4 inches wide, and is Intendei t>d aw. when load ed, 18 feet of water She is of about 1,200 tous burden, and will have on board 2 eleven-inch guns and 2 thirty two pounders. The machine-y is intended to develop 1,000 horso power. The contract allows them three months from the 20th Inst, for the completion of their work, aod it is confidently expsoted she will be realy for service at ttat time. The shop being constructed at San Francisco is the only one having a aide-wheel propeller, and is designed for surveying the China sea. Everything passed off pleasaotlyyesterißy. and Messrs, Merrick Sc Son have every reason to congratulate them selves on tho successful lauochiug of tbe noble steamer. PnisoN Agent's Rkpobt.—Mrr Mnllin, the prison agent, has furnished us with soapy of his annual report, whloh states that during the past year 1,270 persons, who had been committed for trial In court, were released from prison. He.eatimatas the saviog to the tax payers by thoae releases at 10 321, The whole amount of money »xp«nded during the year was $ 29.32—being the costs in fifty-six cases The total number of commitments to Philadelphia count? p iano, during the past year, was 14,913 Of the 4,701 btl>s acted upon by the grand jury 2,408 true bills were found, aod 2,2*3 were ignored. Of these 2,468 returned to court, but 638 were, upon trial, con victed aod sentenced. Tbe prison, at present, is orowded to repletion— chiefly with inebriates and vagrants, who should be in a bouse of correction. The health of the prison continues good, there being little or no aickress. Tbe moral instruction given on the Pabbath, by the clergy of tbe different denomina tions, continues to be satisfactory to the prisoners, and there Is reason to hope that it is productive of good. Discharged convicts have- been provided for, and, when necessary, have been clothed and supplied wit* homes and employment, and thug have been prevented from going into crime. A Banquet and So-fortii.—On Tuesday evening the Sheep Butchers’Association gave an en tertainment at Washington Hall, Eighth and Spring Garden streets. Lawrence S.

The foreign news was publish’d early In the day, and on the strength of It an effort was made to getnp a stampede in the stock market, which proved a failure.

Like efforts have been made, during nearly every session for the last twenty years No bill, we believe, has ever yet been ordered to a third reading; and we* arc not aware that tbe people are any more anxious for the passage of tbe Jaw sought to-day than they were twenty years ago. In theHonse, yesterday, a special committee was ordered to consider aod report upon the subject. This strued into a feeling of friendship for tbe mea sure, on the part of that body .But we Infer that It rather Indicates the kindly feeling of the majority toward the gentlem&u who msde the motion, than to solloltude for tbe success of-the measure which ha has so much at heart.” . The New York Times thinks lhata movement in a different direction Jn the Senate, simply t> modify tbe penalty for receiving usance for money in excels of 7 per coat., so that only the interest and not the principal of the debt is forfeited, has probably a fair ehance of being adopted. .

JPFalling of a Suspension Betook—A sus pension bridge, just erected over the St. John’s liver, at Grand Falla, O. W., \>y Mr. Tomlinson, and which had just been opened to the public, fell on Saturday lasi, in oonsequenoe of the chains snapping. The local paper says three teams were lost, anatwo men'seriously injured. The bridge was suspended over the ohasm on ohains, and from the description given by eye-witnesses, it bid fair to be a most durable structure. The oon tr&ot price was £4,500, but it ia said to have cost considerably more. The eause of the disaster was probably owing to the contraction of the iron during the severe cold of l&Bt week. ...dil. 31tf®33 ....... 81 «80X ....... 76X 030 — 093 ©—
