He was getting a little flustered, as the phrase is, with wine, whicb he was pouring down, glass after glass, or of course he could never have made such an absurd, such as unusu al disclosure.

"Then,captain, don't expect me to apologise for We' thudered Mr Trevor, at the same time hurling his glue, wine and all, at the captain's head. Part of the wine fell on me, bat the glass glanced at the ear of the captain, and cut it slightly; for he had started aside on seeing Mr Trevor's intention. A mist seemed to cover my -eyes as I snw every one present rising from his chair. The room was, of course, in an up roar. The two who had qunrelled were the only calm persona present. Mr. Trevor remained standing on the same spot, with his arms folded on his breast, while Captain calmly wiped off the stains of wine from his shirt-ruffles end white waistcoat, walked up to Lot d who was at bat a yard or two's distance and inquired, in a low tone of voice, "Your lordship has pistols here, of course 7 We had better settle this little matter now and here.

A. AIUHLENBERG. Or The Madisoniazi claims the election of Mr. DARRIAO9 as a triumph for the administration of Mr. Tyler over Cla)ism. We have not regarded it WI such heretofore, but perhaps the Madisonian has better means ofjudging than ourselves. Jt is certain Mr. D.'s previous course has not been such as would re commend him to the proscriptive and unscrupulous leaders of the federal party. His spirited defence of Mr. Irwin for his democratic votes,gave great olfeuca to the whip, and he has said or done nothing since then that would indicate that he had changed his opin ions. He held the office of District Attorney under Mr. Tyler, and has always been regarded as a friend of the administration, and now that he is placed in a position where his friendship can be of some use to the President, it is hoped by many of his fellow-citizens that be will pursue the independent and manly course of his predecessor, and like him supptirt all the meas ures of the administration that are for the public good, without stopping to consider whether they are such as will please the corrupt leaders of whiggery or not. President Tyler has a stronger claim on the people of this district for gratitude than on almost any other quarter of the country. Ile has evinced a proper esti mate of the skill and industry of our manufacturers and mechanics, nod has bestowed public patronageon them with a liberality unparalleled by any former adminis tration. Our distinguished citizens have been the re cipients of nnbounied attention, and have received more than their share of Executive favors. Cabinet appointments, foreign missions, and other posts of dis tinction, have been showered upon them with a liberal ity unexampled. In fact, Pittsburgh appears to be a pet of the administration, and it seems that nn nil oc casions where a favor is to be bestowed, she is thought of kifureany other place. The administration has not been disappointed in any of its acts of liberality toward, our city. The work entrusted to our mechanics - has been performed in a manner that has made their skil I the admiration of the country, and the talents of our public men, who have received the confidence of the President, have done honor to his administration. We do not believe that Mr. Dsansan is the man to forget such kindness and liberality as the Pres ided" has evinced towards the people of the district which he %epresents, and that, notwithstanding the ingratitude if the Clay leaders, he will pursue a liberal and generous course towards the administration Mr Ltwts, Ckrk of the Cutter, has our thanks for Cincinnati papers.

NEW YORK. — Jonathan J. Coddingtion was on Wednesday evening nominated as the Democratic can didate for Mayor of New York at the coming charter election. The Coon candidate is Morri s Franklin. At the borough election in Clarion the democrats have caned every office for which there was a strug: gle. They have also carried all the townships through the county.

UNCERTAINTY OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.— A proof of the great uncertainty of evidence purely cir cumstantial, is shown in the case of Michael Fitzger ald and wife, found guilty some months since, at Tray, New York, of burglary, and sent to prison: They were convicted on circumstantial evidence alone, and have since been proved innocent. Gov Bouck has sent a pardon to them. If strict justice was to be done, the State would pay the sufferers liberally for the loss of reputation and time. The Wisconsin papers are discussing the ques tion of state organization with much spirit and ability. is objected against the immediate organization cf a State government, that it would impose burdens upon the peoplo to sustain it, which they are not at pres ent able to bear, and hence that it will not be to their advantage tc continue for a few years longer under he tutelage of the United States.

MN CLAVDOPINIONS ON THI TARIFIF.-111,16t4er to disabuse the public ..tind of the impression , which the whip are endeavoring to mak e that HmertCtse is the especial friend and adviscate of a : Protective 'Tariff, vvestibjoiw hisepinions.bn that trhject ! deli "era at, varioustimasind in ,verious niece hi last came before the people for their suffrages. We ask the attention of every dispassionate and honest man to his sentiments an this' subject; we ask his sriends in this quarter if they dare sustain them; we ask the manufacturers if the Tariff which Mr Clay avows himself friendly to in the following extracts is such a one as will afford them the protection they want. Here are the extracts: "Inever was infavor of duties being so high as to amount to a prohibition of articles ors which they at e laid. • I have thought it best for all interests that there should be competition." Again: "A Tariff for that purpose (revenue) ought to be so adjusted as to afford reasonable encouragement to our domestic man ufactures." "To impart to it that character it should be SODERATIt.' . " I was not in Congress in 1828,and therefore did not vote for the tariff of that year. The duties in many instances imposed by that Twill' wero extravagantly high." In a letter to Mr Merriwether, of Georgia, (ued "October 2, 1843," Mr Clay held the following lan guage. " I did not vote for the Tariff of 1828, for which, hoverer, MR. VAN BUREN. Col. Benton, Col. I Johnson. Mr. Wright, and others of our opponents I'll) VOTE. ANT) IT IS HEMARLARLIC, THAT FROM THAT PERIOD. MY EXERTrONS IN CONGRESS HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO THE REDUC TION AND MODERATION OF TARIFFS. Th.is, in 1831, I supported that Tariff which GREATLY MODIFIED AND REDUCED the Tariff' of 1823 insomuch that it was supposed by reasonable men that it would or ought to SATISFY THE NULLIFIERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. The next year. 1833, I BROUGHT FORWARD THE COMPRO MISE. IW I NEVER WAS IN FAVOR OF WHAT I REGARDED AS A HIGH TAR , IFF. NO MORE REVENUE SHOULD BE LEVI ED THAN IS NECESSARY ro AN ECONOMI CAL ADMINIS7'RAT lON of the Government." I SHOULD HAVE PREFERRED THAT THE COMPROMISE IN ALL IT&PARTS [uniform defies of 20 per cent.] COULD HAVE BEEN ADHERED TO." Again. in a letter to F S Bronson, dated "Oct. 13, 1843," Mr Clay remarks: "After my return to Congress is 1831, my efforts were directed to the modification and REDUCTION of the rates of duty contained in the act of 182.% The act of 1832, greatly 'educed and modified them; and the act of 1833. commonly called the Compromise Act still further reduced and modified them. The at:to/Inch passed nt the Extra Session of 1841, which I support ed, was confined to free articles. Iliad resigned my scat in the Senate when the act of 1812 passed." "If there be any EXCESSES er DEFECTS in it. (4 wheh I have not here the means of judgingi) THEY OUGHT TO BE CORRECTED." Here itt an extract front &letter written by Mr Clay at New Orleans, to a committee arias witig frienda in Virginia, dated Jnn 23,1844. "The prohibition of the fabrics of foreign countries, would transfer the monopoly to the home manufacturers in the United States. The true interests of the consu mers are best promoted by a competition between; the , foreign and the national supply. The inevitable ten; dency of that competition is to reduce prices, as all ex perience nes demonstrated." We will add an extract or two more from MrClay's recently expressed opinions upon the Tariff: (See his speech at tl,o Extra Session, 1341 ) "Carry out the principles of the compromise act. Look to revenue alone for the support of Govern ment; do not raise Me Question of protection, which I had hoped had been put to rest. Sa7'here is no necessity for protection.",E; Mr Clay, in it letter addressed last stimm-r to the pitlili.hers of the "Tennessee Agriculturist," held can this pledge to the "fr trado" politician.: "I am so far a friend to rest TRADIC Its to think that within the limita of the Union it should he entire ' ly unfettered. and perfectly egucl between all inter ests and all parts of our country. On a still later occasion, Mr. Clay said: Myopininn thil there is no danger hereafter of a high tariff, is founded on Me gratifying fact, Mat our manufactures have taken a docp root. Eden now some branches of them are able to maintain, in distant markets, successful competition with rival foreign Manufactures. FROM TEXAS By the arrival of the steam pactet New York, at New• Orleans. files of Galveston nod Houston papers, to the Gth inst. inclusive, have been receiveil. A vesselarrived at Galvef•ton, a few days ago. from Corpus Christ". All wns tranquil, and nothing fur ther was known there of the pending negotiations with Mexico. The U S schooner Flirt, Captain Davis, arrived ut Galveston some days since, on a cruiaa—ofEeers and crew all well. The 28th February—the anniversary of Texan In dependence, was celebrated every where with good spirit and becoming festivities. Gen Murphy has written a note to the editor of the Vin honor. protesting against the unwarrantable use of his name as authority for a statement relative to the annexation of Texas. He declares that there is in point of fart, no foundation for the statements and as sertions on this subject. Gen M. alludes to the extra published by tit?. Houston Democrat, declaring that forts Senators or the U. S. were in favor of the an nexation, and that a treaty to that effect had been ra tified. A NATIONAL NIONUNIENI AT WASHING A bill is now before Congress, which appropriates about $50,003 for a national monument at Washing ton, on a truly beautiful plan. The measure has been introduced to the attention of the House of Represen. tatives by the Hon. Zadock Pratt, of New York, who designed the plan, and his views have been developed in an admirable sketch, by W. Strickland, Esq., the well known architect. We learn that the Washing ton Monument S.teiety have now in their possession $48,700; and Mr Pratt's bill calls for an appropriation of a rim which, in conuoction with the above,.it is thought will be sufficient to complete the work. The design contemplates nut merely a place for the dead, but an enterprise calculated to foster the arts. The building or monument will embrace three stories. The crypt or basement is intended to contain the statue ef Washington, with niches for the busts of the Presi dents of the United States. The second story to con tain niches fur statues of the illustrious men of the country; and the third to be a saloon or gallery, for paintings of historical or national subjects. The mon ument is to be 120 feet high, and of the same dimen sions as the Rntenda of the Capitol, which is 100 feet in diameter. The whole car. be completed in eighteen months for sloo,ooo—the material to be of marble.— The sketch. es prepared by Mr Strickland, is very beautiful indeed. it presents a most striking appear ance, and the work, if carried out according to the de sign of Mr Pratt, as embodied in his bill, will form an jeer of the deepest interest. Something of the kind is greatly needed, and we trust that now that the mat ter has been introduced, the good work will be agita ted speedily, and to a suc'•essful end. Greenough's statue of Washington, which has excited so much at tention, has now no covering but a shed, and is seen to great disadvantage. Mr Strickland is just the man to complete an edifice of the kind proposed with skill, beauty and success; and we sincerely trust that Con gress in this matter, will throw aside the dilatory spi rit by which - they are too often intlueneed.--Bale Sea.
