ii[bc Mailijilorning Post. THOS. PHILLIPS & WM. H. SIIIITH, EDITORS PITTSBURG ":1, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1345 Or Now that the President has settled the ques tion of "succession," to the offices in Philadelphia, we presume our friends in that quarter are much bet ter repared to give the .Oregon matter a calm con sideration than they were when they held the lute meeting. From what little light we have on the subject, we think the President has dispensed his official favorrin the City of Riots iu a manner that will give much wait. faction to the citizens, and insure to the government faithful and efficient officers. To know that the office of Collector is filled by the man, who, in the opinion of Gen. Jackson"cannot lie," is a sufficient guaranty to the public that he is honest, and all who have ever heard of Henry Horn know that he is capable to dis charge the duties of any trust within the gift of the gov ernment. Member gentlemen whose appointments we an, nonnce, are alike honest, capable, and deserving, and we have no doubt will be highly gat' sfactory to a large majority of the citizens interested in the offices to which they have been appointed. 611.8tRAL Porn Orrtcc—The Washington Union says:—"The contractors of the mail bad an official interview with the Postmaster General on Tuesday last, for the purpose of arranging the terms fur the transportation of the United States mail. Much pro gress was made in the arrangements; but as they em not yet completed, and it is not expected that they will be ended before the 10th instant, we deem it best to relate no statement, at this time, of the partic ulars of the transactions. In the mean time we may state that the lettings are much lower, and of course the expense of the department will be much reduced through sagacious and indefatigable exertions of the Postmaster General." lOWA.—The Dubuque Express, in announcing the rejection of the new constitution just submitted to the people of lowa, proposes that the Legislature now elected, and which meets in May next, shall take measures for the calling of a new convention to devise another constitution, with such boundaries as may be acceptable to Congress. Admitting that the bounda ries of the State, as defined in the rejected constitu tion, were too extensive, the Express proposes that the Missouri river shall be insisted upon as the west ern boundary, and that a limit shall exclude Dubuque Clayton, Delaware, and other counties from the pro posed State. The country thus excluded, it is propos ed, shall form a new Territory, to be called the Terri tory of Washington. The boundaries of lowa will be so much reduced in this way es to relieve Congress from any objection on this score. COST OT THE KESSINOToN RIOTII.—We learn from the Philadelphia papers that Henry M. Phillips, Esq., one of the solicitors, presented to the County Board a communication inclosing a list of the cases against the county, arising from the Kensington and Southwark riots. The number of cases is 78. The amount as claims is about $l5O 000. The amount of verdicts already recorded is about $12,000, being about $5OOO less than was claimed. Some of tbe cases have I>aen removed to the Supreme Court, end some are pending on points of law. irrThe total amaunt of Exports from New York for the month of April was $2,809,878 85, of which there was in American vessels $2,211,709, and in For eign $498,169. The exports to Great Britain during the month were about $900,000, to France, $310,000, -and to Sweden slBo,ooo.—For the week ending Ist 'May, the exports were $593,270; the clearances were 23 (7,920 tons) American, and 10 (1,603 tons) For eign. The specie imports were $16,322 against ex ports $6,195. THT GREAT Rsce between Fashion and Peytona comes off, on the 13th May inst., on the Long Island course. According to the N.

Soma days since, 1000 to 800 woo freely.offered upon Fashion, but her friends do not now appear to feel the same confidence in her success. The "Times" thinks it doubtful if 100 to 90 could be -got on the northern mare, and it is very probable that before the race, even betting will be the order of the day. A Washington correspondent of the Times is of the opinion that the greater age and the hard usage of "Fashion" in her raises since the race with "Boston," and the additional -weight which she will carry, must tell arainstsherinthe approaching contest. He thinks theta( Peytona is whatshe should be, she will make her first beat in 7.30, butsets down Fashion as doing it in not less than 7.3r5. "These calculations mny have a good basis, but we shall see what we shall see on the 13th. The match is excit ing the utmost degree of interest throughout the coun try, in sporting circles, and New York is already fast idling up for the occasion. 0010 Ram Roue.—The Cincinnati Commercial says the funds necessary for the completion of the railroad from that city to Sandusky having been ob tained the work will doubtless be prosecuted with vigor.

A Cot on GF.SITLEMArt AnAtiTTEn TO THE BAR.—In Boston, on last Saturday morning, S. E. SEA% ALL, Esq., before his honor Judge Ward, moved that M . ...c0s B. ALLEN, who was provided with a certificate of competency, signed by Judge Merrick, be admitted to practise as an al i jorney and counsellor at law in the courts of Massachusetts, and, there be ing no legal objection to the motion, the gentleman was ndmitted. The Post says that Mr Allen is 29 years of age—is a native of Indiana, airl his color and physiognomy bespeak a mingled Indian and Afri csn extraction, in about rqunl proportions. Ile is of medium height and size, and passably good looking. He is indeed a better looking man than two or .three white members of the Boston bar, and it is hardly pos sible that he can be a worse lawyer than at least six of them, we could name. He commenced his legal studies in the office of General Fessenden, of Portland, arid completed them under 'Mr Sewell. reThe Various kinds of bank notes in Ohio are known by the names of "red doe" of "sick monkey" and of blue pup" while specie there is termed "rhi• no."

HURRICANE HEAR CHICAGO.—A tremandotoi hur ricane occurred in the vicinity of Chicago on Friday the 9.5 th ult. It extended from the lake chore to Fox river, sweeping every thing in its course. One account says that from Chicag. to Naperville, about 30 miles. every building was either blown down or otherwise damaged. The path of the hurricane was about five miles in width. Some lives were lost. and a great amount of property destroyed. Not a fence but what was prostrated, and s:arcely a building in the track of the hurricane remains nninjured. GREAT FIRE. AT PORTSMOUTH, N. 11.—The Bos ton Post learns, by an extra from the office of the Portsmouth Mercury, that a destructive fire occurred in that town on Sunday morning, which destroyed pro perty to the amount of $120,000. The firs origina ted in a small wooden building in the rear of the west side of Market street, and, the wind blowing freshly from the westward, communicated the flames to other buildings. The west side of Market street is in ashes, and a great many other buildings in the business part of the town. Three fire companies and their engines were despatched Flom Newburryixirt, but the tire was subdued before their arrival. The U.

We understand that it is a wot kof con siderable length, and contains, besides a narrative of the principal events, and biographical notices of the leading actors on the stage at that time, a critical ex amination of the great questions and transactions of that conflict, civil and military. RxsTlTUTlotl• — The Phoenix Bank at Hartford have received back $10,500 of the $11,500 paid to the Cleveland gentleman, on the sham package.

From the Washington Union CUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. We have no time to touch these questions this even ing, even it the time had arrived for the purpose. Oregon appears to be rising into the great question of the day. We must any that we are surprised at the language attributed to Viscount Peel and Lord Aber deen in Parliament. Are not they bsdly reported? or is it possible that these statesmen should have fallen into the errors which distinguish their speeches? in the course of a day or two, we shall animadvert on the position which they have taken. We may even commence the series of strictures to-morrow. One thing is certain—we cannot abandon the great inter ests of our country to their blunders or even to their menaces. This is not the way for John Bull to deal with Uncle Sam. The public sentiment of our people will stand by our administration. Even if we were disposed to question therpublic spirit of the whig party, they would surely hesitate to singe their fingers again. after they have been so much scorched by the Texan flame. But we shall have no anti-Oregon party.— The North, as well as the South, will unite with the West on this subject. Let Great Britain be well as sured of the fact. The Texas question is still undecided. We under stand that despatches have been received from Major Donelson down to the 3d ult. The reply of President Jones has not vet been received to his communications. We have fresh and undoubted assurances, that the peo ple of Texas are most decidedly in favor of annexation, and will not yield the point to the President or his ad visers. Let General Houston consult his own high character by speaking out in favor of annexation, and all would be well immediately. But whatever course a few prominent gentlemen may take. we do not doubt I the people, the course they will pursue, or the ultimate success of the measure. England may seek to stave off the result, by advising the government to procrasti nation, why proposing its proposition of independence. But nothing. we trust and believe, can defeat it. The time is at hand, when the people of Texas will speak a language which the world cannot misunderstand. Ls for Mexico, she may bluster. She may be in duced to go to a certain point, by the hopes of British co-operation. She may threaten restrictions upon our commerce; but it is not to be believed that either Mexico or England will be mad enough to disturb the pence of the world.

They were sold to certain slave owners for $3O each, and afterwards ransomed at that sum. Capt.

From Tuesday's Richmond Enquirer THE WINDING UP OF THE DRAMA. We yesterday received elections returns from a number of western counties, which will be found be low. There are only eight counties to hear from, which send ass delegates, viz: Allegheny, Fayette and Nicholas, Grayson and Carroll, Lee, Pocahontas and Scott—ell democratic, save Fayette and Nicholas, a bout whir.h are some doubt. if they vote as last year we shell have 22 majority in the House, 10 in the Sen ate, and 32 on joint ballot! The news yesterday relieved our doubts, and satis fied us of the election of Joseph Johnson to Congress from the Harrison district. His net majority in four teen counties heard from is 274, and Fayette and Nicholas to hear from, which cannot "touch" it. Mr J S Pendleton will, therefore, have the distinguished honor of being "the lone star" of whiggery from Vir ginia, as the Fredericksburg Recorder very aptly sly led him. It "does us good" to publish the following brilliant list of Representatives in the national councils from Old Virginia, more true and firm in her principles now than ever. By way of distinction, we put Mr Pendle ton in italics: let district, Archibald Atkinson. 2d " George C Dromgoole. 3d " Wm M Tredvray." 4th •• Edmund W Hubard. sth " Shelton F Leake." 6th " James A Seddon.' 7th " Thomas H Bth " Robert M T Hunter.• 9th " John S Pendleton." 10th " Henry Bedinger.* 11th " William Taylor. 12th " Augustus A Chapman 13th •• George W Hopkins. 14th " Joseph Johnson.* 15th " Wm G Brown.' •Not in the last Congress.

She brought from NYhampon another in stolrnent of the indemnity money, amounting, we hear, to three millions of dollars. The money has been paid in Sycee, now at a premium of from five to six per cant. in India. so that John Bull will pocket some thing like £30,000 by the transaction. There was a good deal of difficulty between Het Majesty's consuls and her subjects at several of the free ports.

This arrival does not put us in possession of any items of important intelligence. From the New York News. DUELLING IN THE SERVICE. The Natioant ratelligeneer publishes a long com munication, the object of which is to appeal to the President and Secretary of the Navy to recal their recent dismissal of Lieutenant Hurst from the service, for the offence of fighting a duel— and not only fighting a duel, but with a fel-low of• ficer under his command, from a dispute which arose on duty, and in which he himself volunteered to waive his rank and give "personal satisfaction" to his junior. It is of corrse clear that, independently of the criminality of fighting a duel, the violation of all the first principles of discipline reTrirerl in etch a case the prompt dismissal of such an officer from the Navy. The writer goes over the usual defence of duelling in practice, though conceding it to be not quite right in theory—the opinion of society, as the compulsory force which the duellist cannot deist, being the plea of justification. The rampancy of the writer's "chi valry" wiil appear from the following paragraph: "Who is there has moral courage not to fight when he runs the risk of not being cheered by fond woman's smile? The girl he adores will contemn and scorn him who hesitates to pull a trigger in defence of her cheek which some one may have pronounced apoch- ryphal. The wife of your bosom will Isis• you less fondly if insult is put upon you, and you refuse to wipe it out; and the indignant spirit of your youthful son will rise up and almost scorn you. The fondest af- fection never yet made allowance for the want of spirit." And the following paragraph contains the gist of the case as he puts it to the Secretary of the Navy, to to regime the dismissed officer: '(hope most sincerely that the Secretary of the Na vy will take a different view of the subject, and reverse his decision. He has expressed, ir the clearest terms his disapprobation of a senior's waiving his rank, which will put an end to any occurence of the kind in future; but we do hope (for the sake of harmony which now exists throughout the service) that he will not take the broad ground of dismissing every man who defends hishonor, or will not submit to a blow, or have his nose pulled; for. if he does, the best in the navy will go. There is no law, not even death , will prevent men from resorting to a system, the best feature of which is, that it cows the bully and makes the black- guard good natured." It is not because we deem any appeal from the press to the Secretary of the Navy, necessaty to fortify him in a firm adhesion to the decision already passed upon this case, that we notice it but only because such stuff as this ought not to pass unchallenged. We have no apprehension of either Mr Bancroft or the President admitting any disposition to waver on such a point; and not only to forfeit, but reverse, the universal ap• proval with which this step on their part was receiv ed. For the question of discipline we care compara tively little, important as it is; but for the "broad ground" referred to, of dismissing every officer, of either branch of the service, who may participate in a duel, we trust that it will be inflexible and inexora bly maintained. No palliation of circumstances or character ought to be for a moment regarded. The main object is not to punish the offender, but to pre vent the offence, There may be instances in which much personal sympathy may be felt for those who may fall victims to this rule; bat such individual cases are utterly nought, in comparison with the high moral du ty of maintaining the rule itself, as the most effectual restraint upon this stupidly criminal practice. Few officers will fight when they know that it is at the cer tain, absolutely certain, expense of their professional existence, Occasionally, indeed,a foolish couple may do so in spite of the consequences; yet the perpetual restraint of the rule will operate to prevent a great many duels which would otherwise be fought, if a door should be left openfor occasional relaxation of the rule. For every such duel the superior authorities encourag ing by tolerating the practice; would be directly and personally responsible, to their• consciences and the moral sentiment of the country. Andre was hanged for a principle and a duty, though attended to the very gallows by the deepest personal sympathy and respect of the whole American army. The law of capital punishment is still often inflicted in cases where, In view of the extremity of provoca tion, the disordered state of an exasperated mind, te gether with contrition, tender domestic ties, &c., much sympathy is felt for the sufferer under the law; and when the law is executed solely for the sake of it■ de terring restraint (by those who regard it as efficacious for that end.) In such cases life is sacrificed—reluc tantly it may be, yet inexorably—for the sake of pre venting the future sacrifice of other lives. Surely, then, these gentlemen of the Navy or Army, even in the strongest cases that can be supposed admitting of extenuation, have small reason to complain, against a rule which only sacrifices their commissions, for the prevention of future repetitions of these tragic-farces of mutual murder on gentlemanlyprinciPles. And subsequent restoration in all these cases should be thrown wholly out of the question. It is a simple absutdity to go through the mock form of punishment fur the mere show of the thing, to be followed by re versal of all thatis substantial or effective for good in the act itself. The general expectation of the sound moral senti ment of the country, especially in our northern lati tudes, will be greatly disappointed, if Mr Polk does not, in all such cases, stand firmly true to the princi ples of that anti-duelling character which has always honorably marked him; and which, by its contrast with both the practice and theory of his opponent, bore a relation not wholly insignificaht to the late canvass. We hope within his Presidency to see the tine abso lutely established ; that any participation in a duel im mediately, ipso facto, forfeits the off►cer's commission. Once thus fixed, public opinion will not allow it to be unsettled by future administrations. Oak/and Trial Races.—There was not as large an attendance at the Oakland yesterday as we expect ed to have seen, but those who went were well repaid for their trouble. The day was beautiful and pleasant, the track in excellent condition, and the sport good. Before starting it was understo od that Rate Anderson would not run, and consequently that the contest would be between Nathan Rice and Billy Walker. Billy Walker was decidedly the favorite, and in some instances at small odds, although he was an untried nag, while Nathan has been the winner of a well con tested field. This state of affairs was, no doubt, in a great measure occasioned by the malicious report in general circulation that it had been positively deter mined in the event of the defeat of Billy Walker, that I either his name or that of the illustrious individual af ter whom he was called would have to be changed by the next Legislature. However, he proved himself well worthy of his name; fur ho is in delicate phrase ology, a "whole team," and "a big deg under the wagon." Nathan's friends stood up to him manfully, and backed their good opinion of him pretty extensively. The first miles in both heats were really beautiful. In each instance that distance was run side by side, and in each instance also, at the commencement of the second mile, Billy Walker drew out ahead, and widen ed the gap between himself ani his adversary until he reached home. After the first heat Billy could not be stopped until he had run an extra mile. That appear ed, however, to put him in a better "running trim." • [Louisville Courie r, May 5. Dr. Lardner.—This gentleman sailed_ for Havre in the Utica, last Thursday, and was accompanied by his wife and two children, though his name is not mentioned in the passenger list. The history of this distinguished savan, previous to his visiting this coun try, is well known—his elopement with Mrs. Heavy side and subsequent career is this country. Since his arrival, however, Mrs. Heavyside has been divor ced from her former husband and married to the Doc tor, who since has become the father of two fine chil dren. The return of Dr. L. to Europe has been occa sioned by a summons issued by the House of Lords, commanding the appearance of Mrs. L. in order to testify in regard to some property amounting to about $200,000, which she claims in her own right. This is the second summons received, and the probability is that her claim will be found to be just, and that the amount will be realized. Whether the Doctor will return to this country or not, we are unable to say; but as he has travelled most extensively since his reidonce here, and had many opportunities of making observa tions, it is but fair to suppose that he may hereafter give some sketches of his experience, We understand that Captain Heavyside has also been married since the oc. urance of his difficulties with Dr. L.
