A special messenger hai been ienl out by
,he goernment to Madrid, with instructions
to Mr. Sonle to demand reparation for the de
tention and seizure of the Black Warrior, and
also for the demand of the establishment ot
a tribunal at Cuba which shall have power to
settle all similar cases under the commercial
laws of Spain, so a lo supersede, henceforth,
the nccewity ol seeking redress of grietan
crs at so grent a distance as Madrid. These
demands are, in themselves, ensonable, nhd '
ir Mr. Sonle had not challenged Lord How
den, and shot the Fienoh minister in Madrid
through the knee, he mitjlit go to these per
sons, who, at this moment, have a particular
interest to serve the United Slates, and ac
quaint them wilh iho object of his mi.-sion.
This done, and a proper representation made
to the Spanish Government itself, would
cause the whole tliilicully to be settled within
a month from Iho receipt of his despatches.
But Mr. Suule has quarreled wilh the Cama
rilla, his son has fought a near relative of the
Empress of the French, and he cannot be
upposed to hold other than official relations
wilh the British and French ministers. Mr
Soule't social position in Madrid, therefore,
cannot be very agreeable, and it is, peihapsi
not unreasonable to suppose that he leels no
particular anxiety to prolong his stay in the
Spanish Capital.
On the other hand, it is anything but un
natural to apprehend that the Court of Mad
rid, which is not prejudiced in favor of Mc
Soulfi either from his American antecedents
or his recent conduct in Madrid, will look
with suspicion on any proposition coming
from his government through its present
minister plenfpotenliary, especially if tha
proposition is not backed up by cither the
minister of France or England. If, conse
quently, Mr. Soule's instructions from State
Department are not of a positive natuie, con'
lining him strictly to a course of action)
strictly marked out, and leaving ns little as
possible to our minister's discretion, there is
ground for apprehending that the, present
difficulty will lead to some future embarrass.
ment. There is no necessity of yielding one
iota of our rights, or of submitting to any, the
most trifling annoyance from Spain; but
there is a way of demanding an explanation
and satisfaclionVhich cuts off apology and it
is sincerely hoped that Gov. Maicy will have
guarded against it in his instructions. Wilh
proper care, the case of the Black Warrjor
presents no casus billi and in no manner in
which the subject may be viewed, can it
justify, or even afford a decent apology for
filibusterism. The law which governs gen
tlemen and distinguishes them from bullies)
applies to nations as well a individuals.

Washington, March 18.
Mr. Buchanan, in an interview with Lord
Clarendon, brought lo his Lordship's alien.
tion and intimated to him the propriety of
emancipating Smiib O'Brien from his con
demnation and banishment to the Australian
Island. Ha had the gratification, on the day
succeeding, not only to find the subject in
troduced into the British Parliament, but
also to hear Lord Palmerston announce to the
House that the Government had authorized
his release from exile and bondage. So J
Smith O'Brien, whose only offending consist
ed in loving his country, not wisely, perliaps)
but too well, is now emancipated and re
deemed. This act of pure pariolism and be
nevolence is characteristic of the enligtened
Pennsylvania statesman.

Tubht Works in the House. The Shool Bill.
The House of Representatives has made
the bill for the sale ol the publio works the
order of I he day for Thursday next, the 23d
The strength of the bill in Ihat body was in
dicated by the vote on a motion to make it
the order of each succeeding day until finally
disposed of the motion having failed by but
a few votes. At this period of the session,
when many important bills are pressing upon
the time of the Legislature, this vole lo muke
the bill take precedence of all other busi
ness, in a fair indication of the anxiety to
pu upon it ; never manifested when the
majority are opposed lo a measure. The
vole making the bill the order for Thursday
tietl, was 64 yeas lo 8 nays.
Just at Ibit period ol the session, when
members have an appropriation of tome
6,000,000 staring them in the face, the pro
position to tell the publio works will com
with peculiar force.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR, DATED
(7. S Hotel,
Philadelphia, March 20, 1854. f
The weather for the last few days has
changed from, nnt only moderate, but warm,
to extreme cold. It is these sudden changes
and variableness of climate Ihat operates so
seriously upon invalids and persons of frail
const i in t inns. : A few days since it was eo
warm that persons walking in the streets,
would seek I he shady side, now it is so cold
ihnt over-coals are indispensable.
1'hilndelphia is now doing a brisk business
Her meirhants are doing as much as Ihey
can well desire. Manufacturers, mechanics
and all, are doing a flourishing business.
Yet in New York, it is said, Ihat business is
extremely dull. This, of course, is owing to
the superior fauililies of Philadelphia in
sending goods to the west by railroad and
canal.
The New Yotk canal will not be opened
for some weeks, and the harbors of Buffalo
and Dunkirk are still locked tip in ice. The
'enus) Ivaniu Rni'rnad is crowded wilh busi
ness. 1 liese tilings nre opening t lie eyes ol
even Iho most incredulous lo the importance
of the Siiuluiry and Erie rnad. There is
now but one opinion, and ihat is tho road
must be made und that as soon ns possible.
Tho H.irrisburt; an. I Rending rail road was
let a few days since. A gentleman by the
name of lteillygot ihree-foutlhsof the wholo
and lhe oilier fourth was allotted to George
M. Liiinnnn !f Co. This road will be one of
tho piincipal links, connecting the So n bury
ninl trio to Philadelphia. Thn routs is a
most favorable one, nnd the highest grades
does not exceed twenty three feet to the
mile. This road, in connection wilh the
Susquehanna, will, whim finished, bring
Sunbury within five hours of Philadelphia, a
consumnlinn devoutly to be wished for.
The City Councils met this evening for
the purposo of adopting measures in relation
to the subscription to the Sunbury and Erie
road. The committee, however, was not
ready to repot!, and the mailer was adjourned
over until Thursday a week. There was
some little dissatisfaction wilh some, who
intimated that the Councils wihed to evaile
making the subscription until the new Coun
cils were elected. There is not, I think,
any foundation whatever for suchuspicions.
I know that a number of the Councils areas
realous in favor of the subscription, as the
best friends of the road can be, and one of
them informed me this evening, that all
would be right beyond any question or doubt,
but there were certain matters that could
not and would not be hurried.
Tne nominalion of Judge Pollock for Gov
ernor seems lo be well received in this ciiy,
and mnny of I lie whig have sangun.e ex
peclalions of his election. One of the whig
delegates of tho city said to me n few days
since that elements were now at woik, that
would produce that result. These elements,
I presume, are what is called lhe "American
party," who hold principles similar to the
Native American party and also lhe Tem
perance pari j one of lhe leaders of which
intimated to me that there would be no
temperance candidate. The contest will be
no doubt a w.frm one.
niOT IW NEW IIAVEMi 1
On Friday (St. Patrick's Day) night, a tin,
occurred at New Haven, which is thus rela
ted in the Journal :
A number of students, who attended Ho-
man's Athenrcurn last evening, were followed
from the Exchange, after the performance was
over, by a crowd of men anil boys, who, on
account of a disturbance that occurred among
them the night previous, were exasperated
at the Collegians, and took the occasion to
vent their spile by hootingsand hissings, and
the throwing of stones. The crowd proceed
pel op Chnppel street, as far as Temple, when
a general fight with stones and brickbats en
sued Capt. Bissell, who was on the spot
with his assistants, did all In hit power lo
quell the riot, but had not sufficient force
to accomplish his purpose.
During the melee, unmber of pistol shots
were fired. Several were hit wilh stones
ami oilier missiles, but no one was seriously
hurt, until the ciowd arrived in front of the
bookstore of Mr. L. W. Fitch, when O'Neil
was seen lo singger nnd fall upon the pave
ment. He was picked up and immediately
conveyed lo the Police Office where he ex
pired in a few moments. Drs. Knight and
Jewell were railed in, and upon an exami
nation found that the deceased had been,
slabbed in or near lhe heart. It is not yet
known by-whom the murder was cotnmilied,
and no arrests had been made up to 12
o'clock.

AN AFFECTING Itlt'lDEMT. 1
The New Albany Ledger says : "An af.'
feoting incident was related to us this morn.
Injr, by a gentleman who was an eye witness
to the dreadful scene on board the Reindeer,
after lhe tecent explosion. Two families,
one of five and the other of six persona, who
were removing from Ohio lo Missouri, were
all so badly scalded by the steam that they
have since died. A little girl of five or six
years of age, who belonged to one of these
families, and whose tender flesh was literally
boiled, was laid alongside of ber mother,
whose spirit was passing, in an agony of
pain, from its earthly tenement. Turning
her eyes toward her mother, she said : 'Ma,
il is so dark ; will we not soon gel home V
Poor child ! Her eyes were darkened by lhe
haze of death, and soon afterward her spirit
was unfettered, and did go home, to live for
ever with angels."
Burning or tiizMonocacv BniDon. The
bridge of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
over the Monocacy river, this side of the
Fredeiick junction and fifty-eight miles from
Baltimore, was, we regret to say. burned on
Thursday evening. Tho train nf cars from
the West hat! passed over it, and it is suppo
sed that the sparks from lhe engine getting
into the wood woik, supporting the roof, kin
died into a bl.rzo The bridge was formed
of three arches, and was aboul three hundred

bridge was rigged up to supply its place.

were connected wilh lhe seizure of Glover.
Thus the passions were inflamed and a de

arrest and ennfirtemcnt in prison of a runa
way negro from St. Louis, named Joshua
Glover, Scarcely had the echo of one mob
died uway, when our ears are pained nnd our
heart sickened by a now outbreak, wherein
all law and or.ler and respect for lhe highest
judicial iower ef lhe 1-ml ruihlessly trampled
under foot. No later than Tuesday of this
week the quiet of the cily was disturbed by
a disgtaceini inmiiii ai ine pons, i ne nre
bells rang an alarm, and the entire popula
tion called out to see the Germans and Irish
engaged in bloody combat around that most
sacred spot llieJioCof box. The peace loving
portion of our citizens were deterred through
fear and danger of Iheir lives, from deposit,
irg their votes. The noise of this mob has
hardly passed away when we are summoned
to witness another most vile and infamous
rebellion against law and order. 1 blush for
the name of Milwaukee. Fanaticism rules
the hour. Demagognism is rampant.-
The exciled passions, wrought np to the
highesl pitch by flaming handbills and fu
lions harangues, have trampled upon all law
and uulhuiity, set at naught iho very safe
guard of our exisleucu as freemen ; and vast
a slain on lhe character of Milwaukee that
will jtilly cut i I lo her lo lhe scorn of the
whole coujilry.
But let mo get at the facts. A Fugitive
slave named Joshua Glover escaped from his
master at St. Louis and look refuge in a
negro settlement some four miles north of
Ibe villain of Racine. Ho had nol been
thero very long till his master discovered
,him ; ami in company of the Maisliall of Si.
Johns a-nl Deputy Maisliall Cotton of litis
place proceeded to his place of secretion for
the purpose of taking liirn. They found him
in company with three or four other uegioes
at a table playing cards. His master seixed
him first. A scullle ensuud. The negro was
strong and made powerful resistance. A
pistol was presented to his head lo check h s
furious oulcrys. Finally he was brought to
terms, handcuffed, put in a wagon and driven
rapidly toward Racine. Soon the whole set
tlement was in confusion. This was about
the hour of eight o.'cjock Friday night. The
officers wilh their ptisoner to delude Iheir
pursuers, struck off in a by road, and by
roundabout loule reached Milwaukee at
seven o'clock Saturday morning, and deposit
ed the piisouer in jail.
Tba special advocalea of lhe negro causa;
and tba opponents of tha Fugitive Slave law
wera soon in Usgua together. Tbey could
nol hava bean moia astounded at a olap of
thunder in a cloudless sky, than Ihey were
lo find Ibis law, so odious lo them, in full
operation at their very doors. Flaming
