THE NORWEGIAN’S MAILS. THE AMERICAN QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT, A TELLING SPEECH BY MR. BRIGHT. In the House of Commons, on the 17$, §4 H t Willoughby asked whether the j£9"3,000 to he Toted for the supplementary estimates (expenses of the Trent affair) was all that the country would he called upon to pay, and whether an asauranco 'would ho given that it would be applied only to the purpose specified. Sir G. Lewie said it was impossible for the Go verment to say at the present time whether the es timate would cover th© excess of expenditure; but, as far as Their information went, they believed the estimates 1 would ho sufficient. As to the transfer of items from one br&noh of the estimates to an other, the practice was in accordance with the ex isting law. SPEECH OF 818. BRIGHT, Sir, before you leave the chair, I should like to make two or three observations on this vote. lam not going to object to the vote, of course. I have had too much experience of such matters to attempt any such thing [a laughJ; but, after the prodigious sums voted last year and the year before, I think we are sow driven to edhslddfc wh&lhftU thft fixpon* diture of an additional million is necessary or wise. Now, I am not about to find fault with her Ma jesty’s Government, as regards the recent transac tion with the Government of the United States, so far as I see flunking, or ©xpect to see anything, in tiie bluebooks, containing the correspondence bo tween the Foreign Office in England and that De partment of the State at Washington So far as the despatches 6igned by Lord Russell go, I make no complaint about them. It docs not appear to me that the request made to the American Government was oqo which they could rea sonably have objected to, or the language in which it was couched such as they were entitled to com plain of. Therefore, so far as that goes, I havo no charge to bring against her Majesty’s Govern ment ; but it does appear to me clear that there was great \a&mmk&rk&y between the conduct of the Foreign Office, as exhibited in those documents, and the conduct of certain other departments of the Government. It is not customary in ordinary life for & person to send a polite messenger with a po lite message to a friend or neighbor or acquaint ance, and at the same time to send a man of por tentous strength, wielding a gigantic club, and making every kind of ferocious gesticulation, and still to profess that all this is done in the most friendly and courteous manner. That is what has been done by her Majesty’s Government ia this case; and I am about to explain for a moment why I think this million haß been worse than thrown away. Besides being thrown away, it leaves behind it consequences of much more value or much more harm than the million itself. BAlilP .JOURNALISM RFihUfcEl). - The House will recollect that at the very time when the Cabinet was said to be meeting to discuss the form of despatch to be sent by the Saturday’s boat to America, there appeared in the newspapers, which are fffb especial organs of the Government, language of the ihCSfc violent find OffCDSIVO chit* raeter; and that instantaneously—probably the •very day the despatch was written—steps were taken, both as regarded the army and the navy, exactly as if the despatch itself had not been a courteous demand for compliance with a just re quest, but rather a declaration of war. Now, the effect of that in this country must be very obvious. It created an almost universal impression that there was something which the Government knew, and which the country did not know. Though nobody but the Government could imagine that a cause of war could arise out of that question, it was sup posed that the G6V6?BM«nt knew war to be in evitable, or that they intended wax if war could by any possibility be made out of it. A FALSE IDEA RIGHTED. Looking to what occurred at the time, a I suppose that the answer to be given to me will be based on either of two theories, which, I venture to say, are about as false and about as ignorant as any ever of fered to Parliament in justification of any pro ceedings. Certain organs, which affect to represent the Government—and which are sometimes the slave of the Government and sometimes its master— stated that the Governmental Washington, and Mr. Seward especially, were anxious to get into a war or difficulty with this country, if they could do so, in order to get out of the war with the South, and, under cover of war with England, to make a peace or terms of some kind—l suppose by acknowledging the independence of the Southern States. That is one of the theories. Nothing could be offered to rational men more absurd or more impossible. Mr. Seward cannot make war. The President himself cannot make war. Mr. Seward and the President together cannot make war; but the President and Congress can make war. Therefore, we may be perfectly certain that it did not rest in the brain of any one man, however eminent or however ingenious, to consent to the dismemberment of the United gtfttes \tnder coyer of a war with us. THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT NOT A MOBOCRACY When it was seen again that the Government of America was so entirely under the influence and direction of the mob that they could not listen to the courteous demand of the English Government, that, in fact, what we wanted was not to overawe the Government, but to overawe that mob which in the United States may be supposed to overrule and overawe tbe Government. [Hear, hear.] I see that I have hit the point exactly which honorable gentlemen have imagined to themselves i hnt ho• o! arable gentleman who have watched the history of the United States from the beginning to this hour must know that there has never been a great nation i?i which what is familiarly termed ll moh law*’ is less known or has less influence. p l Oh, ok!”] Wherever men. have votes, club law and inoh law necessarily disappear. [ il Oh, oh !”] I confine my observations entirely to the Free States «f the North ,* but if any honorable gentleman thinks that I am not fairly describing the facts of the case. I ask him to look at the circumstances that have lie must know that the Go*! v eminent at Washington, whether in the removal of a distinguished and popular general, or in the removal of & minister, or in the recognition of the fairness of the demand of our Government for the surrender of two men. perhaps more hateful to ihem than any other two individuals in the world, have not hesitated to do what they considered to be right. I say that, looking at these things, the man inust be prejudiced beyond all power of con viction who thinks that the Government of North America have been influenced by the action of tbe mob to an) extent beyond that which ia found to prevail in this country, and in almost every other country in Europe. THE TRUE REASON OF THE SURRENDER OF MASON ANJ> SLIDELL STATED. Now, Hie noble lord at the head of the Govern* zuent will have this advantage over me, of course, and so will any of his friends who may take a diffe rent view of this affair—they will say, and I cannot prevent them from saying, that whether they were wrong or not in their policy, that policy has been crowned wilk certain success. [Hear, hear,] But that is not always conclusive of a policy being right. J have not the smallest doubt that what made it a question whether those men would be surrendered and war avoided was, not the tenor of the despatch, but the articles in the press known to represent a section of the Government, and the movement and operations of troops and ships, which wore under stood as a menace to Washington. Every man who has access to the shelves of the Foreign Office knows that, when a question as to the right to take those men came to be considered, whatever use might be made of English precedents, nothing whatever could be said if you adhered to American practices and principles. And it is clear to any man who read the speech of Mr. Sumner, in the American Senate—in which speech he collected the authorities on both sides, all of which must be known at our Foreign Office—that the American Government would have been utterly unable to re sist the demand of the English Government, in ac cordance with American practices and principles, however courteously that demand might have been made. It was, indeed, very well known to those who were at Washington at the time, that the influ ence of those military preparations was notfelt upon the Government and people of the United States, but on the ministers who represented the European Powers; for I have reason to know that there were not fewer tb&n two of the ministers of the European Powers at Washington who expressed their decided opinion tjiat there was an intention on the part of some section of the Government, or of some power ful classes in this country, if the opportunity offered, to engage in war with the United States, fa cry of “ No. no!”] and the effect of that state ment and opinion was this, that every man who felt himself aggrieved or humiliated by the course taken by her Majesty’s Government asked himself, “ shall I gain anything by this surrender, or shall I watt for flomaother opportunity for the action of hostility so apparent?” EFFECT OF THE BRITISH POLICY ON BRITISH Itf- TERESTS. I do not bring this charge against the Govern ment of this country, or say that they intended war, but there were inasy persons in this eeuntry tvbc were led to that conclusion. I think it likely that the noble lord at the head of the Government, bringing down his traditions from a time of past war, when righ; and justice were little regarded by the most civilized nations of Europe, thought that the only mode of securing what he wished was by this great demonstration of force. Now, I believe that on this question, as on some others, and on thi9 more than others, there is no other powerful Go vernment in the world that is so uniformly disposed to abide as far ss possible by known defined law as the Government of the United States; aud when I heard that this demand had been made, with my knowledge of their previous course iu respect to these questions, I bad no doubt whatever that the the matter would be amicably arranged, except that the menaces from this fide might make it dif ficult for them to concede tho demand of her Mv jeriy’s Government. Ag to the effect of these demon strations on English interests I wish to say one word. I will not count up how much 'the fall in stocks, railway shares, and other securities amounted to, but in one market alone, that of Liverpool, the ef fect of what was done, not on board the Treat* not by the despatches of the Foreign Office, but by the warlike preparations of the Government, was to reduce the value of one article alone to the extent of £8,000,000 sterling, I have not seen it myself, but I have heard of a letter from Bombay or Cal cutta, which states that on a certain day, when the sews arrived that war between England and the United States was imminent, a complete paralysis look place in the trade of Bombay and Calcutta; and from that time up to the period of the latest advices that paralysis continued, to the great loss and inconvenience of persons engaged in the com merce of that country. And when news arrives from Australia we shall, doubtless, hear that from the moment when war appeared to be likely or pos sible, not an ounce of gold was shipped to this coun try. No man could know that an Australian ship would not meet with an American man-of-war or privateer, end, doubtless, the panic that prevailed in India would also be felt in Australia. THE CAPTURE OF THE REBEL; - ;.EMISSARIES NOT A PREMEDITATED INSULT. This is a view of the question worth looking at. Your people ere employed by the operation of this commerce and the security of the capital-embarked fin It; and when there arises between two friendly countries any transaction like this unhappy accident of the Trent [a laugh], I do not know whether any one on the Treasury bench laughs because I call it £O. [A paufc, during which tbe honorable gentle man directed bis gaze upon the front Ministerial i>enoh ] 1 say it was an unhappy accident. As regards the Tainted States Government, and cur own Government , it was nothing but &7i accident ; and no one knows this better than the noble Lord at the head of the Government. And when accidents of this or any other kind arise that pan possibly cause jarring be* tween the two countries, it is the policy and the duty of the Government, in the first place cer tainly, to try all those moderate and courteous means which it would like to have tried itself be. ir has recourse to measures which scad a paralysis through all the ramifications of the greatest commerce of the world, aud create im mense loss among almost all classes of the people. FASTENING A QUARREL UPON AMERICA IMPOLITIC Now, I may say with the utmost satisfaction and truth that the noble Lord at the head of tbe Go vernment was not more pleased than I was at the favorable termination of that untoward event. If the noble Lord believed that there was no course by which war could be prevented but that which t9Qfci it would be very harsh mi unfair to blamo him. But, knowing how much the United States Government are bound up and connected with the humane principles of international maritime law, he might have trusted much more to their desire to act in accordance with international law than to the force that had been brought against them. We shall do well to rometobei* that the PowfiJ which is for a moment partially disabled and crippled, yet which gives its support to the Wash ington Government, consists at the presont moment of 22,000,000 of people. Those Northern States, ten, twenty, and thirty years hence, will increase &s rapidly as tliay have ever done before ia popu? lation and power. They aro our oouutrymen, to a great extent. We have few enemies, there, except those who left these shores with feelings of discon tent against this Government because their griev ances were not removed. And it is worth our while, on all moral grounds, and on grounds of self-interest, that we should, in all our transactions, acknowledge our alliance and kinship with such a nation, and not loave behind an ineradicable and undying sting, 'which it Would take many.years, jerlmps a generation or two* to romovoi Tho War of Independence, eighty years ago, loft such a sting; the war of 1812 inflicted similar mischief. MOKE AiriCAKLE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE GO- VERNMKNTS Tho course taken by the Government* if not in the demand made, not in the despatch by which that demand was accompanied, not in the courteous manner in which Lord Lyons managed the negotia tions—[cheers]—but in the instantaneous and alarm ing menace of war, coupled with the offensive charges made everyday by the press whieh sup ported the Government, tended to leave on the mind of every American a feeling that England had not treated the United States in that magnani mous and friendly manner which they had a right to expect from us. lam glad to.seettiat a remark able change has operated day by day, both iu this House and out of it. It is obvious that since the course taken by the American Government has been known, a great change has taken place in the opinion of this country. It has become more friendly to the Washington Gorernmnit , for jwoyie ?tow mg that it k a real n<?t rated by a mod, or disregarding the law , but struggling to maintain the integrity of a great country. They see in that country the home of every man who wants & home, and, moreover, they believe that that greatest of &U crimes that any people In the history of the world has ever been connected with, the crime of keeping in slavery 4,000,000 of people, is, under the providence of a Tower very much higher than that of a Prime Minister of England, or the President of the United States, marching on ? as I believe, to its entire abolition. Ascent of Mount Washington in Winter. A W ILD SNOW STORM AND A MAGNIFICENT SUNRISE. Early on the morning of the 10th instant, three gentleman of Lanoaater, N. H., started from that place for tho top of Mount Washington. We let them relate their experiences, which arefinteresting, in their own words: We found the roads bad, and, arriving at the Glen at dark that day, having previously determined to spend the first night at “ the Ledge 55 (half way up the mountain), we resolved to go ou without sleep. After partaking of & substantial supper at the Glen House, Mr. Thompson and wife kindly offered us any useful thing that might be lacking for our ex cursion. When all had expressed good wishes for our sueggsr, we said { < good night,” and started at S o’clock up the mountain. The moon was shining brightly as, with ample packs, filled with blankets and provisions, wc slowly walked up the carriage road on our snow-shoes. The night was still, and, highly oxcited as we were by the thoughts of the adventure before us, the spring of our shoes on the glittering crust seemed music to us, while the tree shadows thrown aoross our path, and the white, winding road contrasting with the dark, evergreen thickets, combined to make our night walk quite varied in incidents, and it was past midnight when we arrived at “ the Ledge.” The great barn built there last season we found in ruins; and this, with the fire-scathed trees, boldly relieved by moonlight —the glittering ledge, and the dark old shanty in the background—combined to present a very wild picturOi At the shanty we kindled & fire* took a lunch, and, upon an old straw bed, laid down on a snow-drift, drowsed till daybreak. At sunrise we started for the “ Tip Top,” with out snow-shoes. Soon began the labor of advancing by cutting steps in the ice. When we halted to rest we notioed the stillness that reigned around us—not n breath of air—not a sound of running water —for beneath a wintry robe every waterfall was chained. How like blank solitude was this death-like silence! Yet, its loneliness was pleasantly enlivened by the wonderful and wide-spread landscape beneath and around us, that afforded amnio soope for admiration. Far away, and near at hand, arose glittering peaks. A thousand pyramids of smoke hung above dark objects that were roughly set in wide white margins. IV hat a host of hopes, fears, joys, and sorrows were gripped in these homes below! But we will not speculate, for the task before us is to be accom plished slowly and carefully. About five miles up we camo to & wide field of ice, where we could not possibly advance without cutting deep steps. It is not fiction to declare that, as the pieces ef iee went whirling dews litre a heavy shower of hail, at least eight hundred feet below, a shudder, such as teaches poor mortality its weakness, oamo over us. Oho false step or careless motion, in such a place, would have sent us down—down—and given us a name with other victims of r&shnesa. About six miles up, wo oamo to & deep drift that covered many acres; and here, not being able to follow tbe road, we wandered for a long way over snow thrown up and hardened in fanciful wavy shapes. At one place we climbed through the tops of a dwarf growth, that had the appearance of a buried wilderness. Here we took a lunch, and in a brisk south wind that had been rising for the last half hour, found the temperature 27 deg. above zero. Looking toward Mount Car ter, we beheld a loDg line of black storm-clouds, with rainbow-tinted borders, whirling wildly over ; and filled with fear for the coining night, up we hastened, yet gained our object slowly ; for at one time, when I had slipped down, I looked, and both of my companions were down, too, but remembering the old adage, that “misery loves company,” I kept silent. 1 As we approached the Tip Top, a heavy black cloud was wildly whirling over; and as die wind, with a roar like thunder, drove the wintry mass toward us, we became enveloped in its embrace, and soon the snow and frost had so whitened us, that perebanee old Winter was never better personated than by us. Words are a vary imperfect medium by which to picture the scene that the Tip Top present ed. The two houses stand out in bold relief, and every zpekheap and great rock about the summit is now to we seen through a thick covering of glittering ice. Crusted leaves of snow stand out from the jag ged parts on the northerly side, in all the imaginable and fanciful shapes that the frost ever painted on window glass. For the last half mile below the top we could distinctly see through the ice and snow the wheel- tracksmade in the carriage road last sea son ; and with tbe exception of now and then a deep drift, the whole mountain summit shows its rocks. There is a great drift at the southerly end of the two houses, and hardened snow has levelled up the irregular top. so that, with the exception of the eternal wind, it is comfortable walking on the crusted or ice-pointed snow. The tops of both houses are thickly coated with solid ice, rough and pointed in all imaginary shapes. We walked up on to the drifV.broke away the ice from the southerly gable- end window of the Summit House, and taking out a window, entered the attic, where, after re moving the snow, we brought up from the dark ness and icy confusion of a lower room, a stove— got some wood from the Tip Top House —kindled a fire, and piling around our little stove a barricade of mattresses prepared to pass the night. The heavy wind swept by like thunder and we slept. Two days’ labor and excitement, with our midnight .walk to 11 the Ledge,” had imposed quite a tax upon our powers of endurance, and we heeded not the tempest that was gathering, till late in the mormog wo found our habitatioiuia ft wild, thiok storm. Language cannot paint the hopes and fears that struggle in the mind at snch a time—hut to make the best of our condition, we prepared for a siege and looked about. The interior of both houses we found much deranged by the win ter Btorm* Snow and ice, from three inches to five feet thick, lay piled in all directions, the fur niture being most curiously set in white feathery casings. In the bar-room we noticed a spade which was cased in clear ice, and in one place a little cord suspended from the roof had assumed the appearance of a glass tube some two inches thick and two feet long. The cloth roofing and wall paper is in many rooms torn down, while fancy snow wreaths and icicles are all around upon the walls and roofs. The darkened windows, with the thick covering without, combined with the ceaseless roar of the wind, gave the whole scene a chilling sir of desolation. To conclude, without longer taxing the reader's patience, we staid two days and two nights on the top of Mount Washington ; experienced the effect of a wild snow-storm that drove by us for thirty-six hours; had one of the most magnificent sunrise scenes that imagination can picture; saw the sun go down in a vast snow-bank; aaw moonlight upon a hundred glittering peaks; found the most extreme cold while there indicated at five degrees below zero; returned to the glen in a thick snow-storm, and now feel perfectly satisfied with our trip. We were remarkably well favored by the weather, and were very lucky about climbing over the ice-clad rocks. Should otherß attempt to go up among the clouds, for their own sake they should go thoroughly prepared for the worst. Au iron pointed staff, with an axe, and plenty of food and clothing, are indispensable. J. H. S. A despatch says that the story of Beaure gard’s being sick is false. We know that it was true. We 'had a long and interesting interview last night with a perfectly reliable Pittsburger, who was in Columbus, Ky., on last Tuesday week, after the battle of Ddhelslbn, and BCAufCgafd there. This gentleman knows and conversed there with Generals Polk, Cheatham, and Beauregard’s Etaff officers, and says that Beauregard has been quite sick, but not dangerously so—nothing worse than a very severe cold, which had, however, quite enfeebled him. After hU arrival he mounted a horse, and rode around for two hours, carefully surveying the natural and artificial defences of the place, and his report was, in short: “You must evacuate. You have a wonderful amount of guns hero, but no casemates. You could’nt hold the place two hours, as for that trap down yonder," pointing to the water battery placed on the level of the Mississippi, and its posterior flat, “it’s a perfect slaughter-pen. Every gunner there would be killed in twenty minutes.”— Pittsburg Chronicle. An oiL-smiNG has been opened in Euniskil leD, Canada West, which runs at the rate of one hundred gallons a minute. The supply of oil in that region is so large, and the transportation so limited, that it is proposed to lay down a wooden tube, at the cost of twenty thousand dollars, to con duct It a distance oi abdtifc twenty miles, to a ship ping point. The United States Circuit Court for New York has decided that nuts are nuts, and not dried fruit, and hence importers must pay a duty of twenty-four per cent, for almonds, and thirty per cent, for walnuts, instead of eight per cent, had they been held to be dried fruit. Even up to this time, says the Louisville Journal , the rebels of this city continue to deny that Buckner baa been taken. Many of them swear that Zollieoffer is alive and doing well. Catholic Church Burnt. —The Traveller reports that the Catholic church in Foxborough was entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday night. In sured. THE CITY. Tire Cultivation of Sorgiio.— The regular slated monthly minting ef the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture was held yesterday, Craig Biddle, president, in the chair. Tlie secretary announce! the receipt of a quantity of seeds of Leans, peas, squashes, etc., from tho agricultural department of the Patent Ufiioo. Tho president presented, upon behalf of the Hon* Charles J. Biddle, 175 copies of the agricultural report of the Patent Office for 1860, the last published; au<l also six copies of the correspondence between the President of the United States and the King of Siam. l)r. T. B. Wilson mid Mr. William Wilson wore pro posed for membership. l)i*. ElWyu, of d ioiuiullho Appointed to select proper subjects for taxation in agricultural districts, to assist the committee of Congress, stated that tho committee hud held two meetings, but were not yet ready to report. Some tittle discussion ensued, during which it was stated that it would be almost an impossibility to obtain any idea of the amount of productions by farmers. Bp. Ehmi urn! that acme fermetA udth waani he Ual conversed, thought that the most equitable way would be to add something to tho tax upon tbe real oatato hold by each person in the agricultural districts. Mr. Fisher read a communication from Milton Conard, of West Grove, Chester county, giving the result of gome experiments made by him in tlio cultivation of tho forgUo sucre, or Chinese sugar cano, Mr. Conard states that bis experience of tbe past four or fire years has estab lished threo point?, viz: First. That it costa but little more to grow the Sorgho sucre than to grow a crop of Indian corn. fitGOlidi Thttt ffyn} it can be manufactured sugar and Byrup of excellent quality* Third. That the profit per acre is twico as largo as that of any grain crop. The coma unication then says: “I have, for four years past, in three*to four acres annually (in regular field culture from laud such as has produced Hi &Vm§AM*&p Af fAPty-fiVft bUfillfllflOf GOPII JWP acre) derived an average yield of one hundred aud ao venty-five gallons of 6yrup. The average wholeaa'e price at which it sold was forty-five cents per gallon. The price charged per gallon for manufacturing was fif teen cents. The smallest yield was one hundred and fori)' gallons, and the greatest two hundred and eighteen gallons per acre.” * ■ # # 11 'Fli* ftof the annual prrduct of syrup, in this and the adjoining town ships, for three years past, lias ranged from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty hogsheads, and pro mises greatly to exceed these maximum figures the com ing season.” Mr. Conajd then shows that the culture of the Sorgho ia botoiily wAfimble tu tlm farmer but is equally go to tho manufacturers. Ho offors tho report ae an induce ment to farmers and others to embark in tho culture and manufacture of the Sorgho sucre, convinced that the in terest# of agriculture would be thus promoted, and an other element added to the commercial independence of OPP country. Sir. Fisher remarked that Mr. Conard had sent him a B&tnple of the sugar made-from this cane, and he had foud it of a very fine quality. It was light-brown in color. Quite a lengthy discussion then occurred upon the culture of sugar-cane, and comparisons were drawn be tween that produced in this eountey and the West In dies. During tbe discussion, it was stated by a member that if the Government had carried out the free-trade idea of the people of tho South, aud repealed the duty on sugar, the plantations of Louisiana \7ould have been ren dered worthless, as competition, with Cuba woula have been entirely out ef ttie qviMtiV!): T!*e Society then ad journed. Beginning of Lent.—Yesterday was Abli-Wednesday, or the beginning of Lent. The Catho lic churches were crowded at an early hour in tho morn ios;, and the services of Lent were opened with the usual solemnity. Tho altars wore stripped of their gay orna? ments, And the sombre hues of sorrow and penitence sub stituted. The Episcopal churches as woll as the Lu theran, observed the day with becoming respect. But none carried out all the forms which we are told was scrupulously followed by the ancient religious communi ties, with so much eclat as the Catholic Church. Til? nsme “Ash Wednesday,” is a memorial of an cient manners. To roll one a self in the dust, to cover the head with ashes, was, in primitive times, a mark of pro found grief. A man who appeared with his body, hair, and dress covered with dust, announced by such exterior his mourning and affliction. Examples of this are fre quent in Scripture, being mentioned in Job, the Kings, the Prophets, and also the Gospels. David, to express the l>!Ht-?hes§ M his grief, says that ho ate ashes like brind. In the first centurusof Christianity, when pub lic penauce wag imposed, asheß were cast upon the heads of those who were condemned, and they were obliged to stand without the gate of tbe Church, amid the lamen tations of the people within. The ceremonies of A,’ll Wednesday in Homan Catholic countries are a continuation of these primitive usages. The old linen of the altar and fragments of consecrated wood are burned, and the ashes carefully collected. Be fore the celebration of the Mass, the priest, in mourning robes, recites the Penitential Psalms, and solemnly blesses the sacred ashes. Tlieu all the faithful approach and probiraie themselves, while the priest marks » sign 6f tliS cross with the ashes upon the forehead of each of them, repeating each time tbe words of the anathema pro nounced upon Adam for his Bin : “ Remember, man, that thou art dust, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Recruitdsc.— Captain Dodge, United States army, who is the mast, r recruiting officer for this Slate, has issued the followingorders: I. Officers on recruiting service, under my charge, from Pennsylvania regiments now in the field, are prohibited from enlisting men for any organization, complete or not, which has not yet l?ft the Stetet 11. It is made the duty of recruiting officers to appre hend all deserters from regiments now in the field, and send them, with the evidence of their desertion, to this depot for safe keeping and transmittal to their regi ments. A record of all expenses attending tbe apprehension of tack deserter will he forwarded with kirn to this depot. Advertising of rewards for apprehension of deserters is prohibited. 111. All men belonging to regiments now in the field who have been left sick, who have been on furlough when their regiments left for the seat of wwi or who hftYO straggled or been otherwise left behind, who may now be desirous of joining their regiments, are directed to report tc the nearest recruiting officer, who will Bend them with his recruits to this depot. All who do not immediately avail themselves of this privilege will be looked upon and treated as deserters. Soldiers in Court.— Yesterday,' in the Court of Quarter Sessions, Capt. A. Lang, of Col. Frishmuth’s cavalry, produced the bodies of Peter Felz ner and Charles Phttg, who were claimed by the recruit ing officers of Col. Ballier’s regiment. Captain Lang made a rrtnin to iho writ of h&bo&g corpus, that the two soldiers enlisted iu Col. Frishoauth’a regiment,* Curlin Huzzars, on February 25th, since which time they have subsisted on the United States. They were regularly en listed, and mustered into service. Alderman Hager testified that the two men took the oath required by law, before him, on the 21st of Febru ary* Tbe recruiting officer of the Niuety>eigbth Regi ment P. V., Col. Ballier’s, testified that he had enlisted Charles Pliug for Col. Ballier’s regiment; said regiment is now- in the field; witness is a recruiting officer for all the Pennsylvania regiments now out of the State. The judge will give his decision in this case this morning. M. J. Dougherty, counsel for Bailey, the young man who enlisted as landsman in the navy, called his case up. Mr. Dougherty said that he was not aware of any act of Congress authorizing such an enlistment. Judge Allison replied that the Supreme Court had already settled tho point raised in this case, and he (the Judge) did not feel disposed to go behind that decision. The case here terminated, and Bailey was remanded to the navy. a Establishing a National Foundry. —We are informed that a number of the merchants and manufacturers of this city will soon hold a meeting for the purpose of urging' upon Congress tbs necessity of establishing a National Foundry, Tbe Committee on Military Affairs in tlie lower House of Congress have already agreed to report a bill providing for a National Foundry for the manufacture of heavy ordnance, and two or more extensive arsenals for the manufacture of smaller arms. They recommend that the foundry be lo cated east of the Alleghany mountains and the arsenals west. Senator Wilsen has also reported a bill in the Senate fixing the site for the foundry on the tide-water of the Hudson, or New York harbor. Undoubtedly Pennsylvania, abounding as it does in iron and coal, possesses advantages for such an establishment greater than any other State, and nowhere in Pennsylvania can a place bo found combining so many advantages for the location as the cily of Heading.
