Chiß NAN - v.—The New York Sun hns an article
setting forth rhefavoritism W hich prevails in the Navy,
and the numberless abuses which have sprung up in
that branch of the public service. Some will argue
that these are but "thecinkers of a calm world and a
kalif Peace," and thatthe quality and behavior of the
national marine would be greatly improved if they
were subjected to the rigid discipline whiobe state
war tenders indispensable. But we ere - disposed to
.tbink that war is net likely to cure this evil any more
than it does others. Both our army and navy are
aristocratic establishments, entirely at variance with
our republican institution., in which the poor are
systematically fit-gradefi and abused. We have seen

.for them,thery must spend their lives and perhaps bury
superior talents in the exetution of the inferior duties.
Of course, such things are not yet seen in the Amer. '
lean Navy. We are yet but in the "green tree," and
cetsuption has not yet spread its poisonous 'Arlen
ces so widely. The wants of our service are nut so
fatly supplied. As yet, we only have to complain of
the "insubordination and vagabondism of worthless
• sons of high functionaries,"—of wanton cruelties neer,-
aionally committed on common sailors by harsh officers
—ef frequent dueling among officers—of "naval
misgovernment, 'and wasteful extravagance"— of mer
ivarioas officers of inferior rank, who are without po
litical influence, being degraded and thrust aside to
make room and employment for higher officers. In
time, however, if we go on as we are going at pre

anddisgraceful practices which prevail in the British
navy, upon which our own i, modeled. We know the

said that the proceedings of the native Convention
were not published in the American until "nearly one l
week after their publication had been ordered " To
show that we stated nothing but the truth, it ie only
necessary fur us to say that the Convention was held
on Wednesday the 11th June, that the most impor

the American until the following Monday afiernoon.—
These are the simple facts which nre known to every

"A brilliant array of beauty and fashion assembled
in the Park Theatre last evening to witness the first
appearance on the stage, of this accomplished lady in
the character of Pauline in the Lady of Lyons.—
Mrs Mow•att's performance was certainly the most
successful first appearance ever seen in this city.--
Her conception of the character was in many respects
novel, and she gave many of the more pathetic passe
,
gee of the piece with thrilling efii•ct, Her acting
throughout the piece indeed displayed a degree of taste
and judgment rarely or never seen on the stage in a
debutante The impression was, we think, very gen
eral, that the character of Pauline has not been so well
played on the Park boards since the time when Ellen
Tree made herself, "the observed of all observers."—
At the conrlusion of the performance the enthusiasm
of the audience burst forth in prolonged and repeated
exclamations of applause; and the vociferation, of the
audience brought to the foot lights both the esteemed
beneficial - 4:e of the evening, and his fair protege.—
The past! the past, the gloomy past,
It tells us a tale of dread,
Of beautiful forms since last we met
Now numbered with the dead;
Of the glittering eyes now glazed in gloom,
Of the ruby lips now sealed,
Of the rosy cheek now paled in the tomb,
And hearts once this,. beat fondly our weal
The past! the past, the dreamy past,
There are visions of by-gone years,
That are startled forth by memory,
Bedewed with sorrowing tears:
For they tell us of many sunny hours,
Long buried in the Japan of time,
Of hopesancl jo3s that once were ours,
In the days that bare passed, 'Mang sync."
The past! the past, the glorious past,
How high our thoughts may swell,
O'er scenes that were fair, too fair to last,
Of the moss-bound rose and dell.
They are fled, and thou nrt with them past,
Yet thy spirit is hovering round,
Tn an angel form thou bast come at last
To our old enchanted ground.
The past! the past, the jm,ous past,

And sing again the songs thou hest sung
In the shade of our "trysting tree."
And it telleth one, of thy soft blue eye

And I f,el that I wish I erst could fly

PRF:9 MINT POLK ' S C•BINICT.--The New York
Express, one of the most unscrupulous of the whig
organs has been assailing the Cabinet advisers of the
President, and to detract from their merits has institu
ted a comparison between them and the Cabinet of Gen.
Harrison. The Union thus replies to the attack of
the Express:
- .And is not the contrast between Messrs. Walker
and Ewing even more favorable to the former? When
did the latter ever display the keen intellectual acu
men which distinguished the speech of Mr Walker
upon the sub -treasury, in 1340? When did Mr. Ew
ing ever make so lucid, beautiful, end splerulid consti
tutional and legal un argument as the present Secreta
ry of the Treasury did in the celebrated McLeod case
—an effort which commanded the applause of polit
ical friends and opponents, and which was pronounced 1
by some admirers to be the ablest legal argument ever
made in the Senate? And where is the production of
Mr. Ewing t hat exhibits the research and ability of Mr
Walker's letter on Texas—a document that is, perhaps,
destined to be attended with as important results to
this country and to Texas as ever fell from the lips of.
any man? But wo have not space to pursue the corn
par ison further, nor is it neccegsary.
"And will the gifted Bancroft—the brilliant writer,
and orator as brilliant as he is a writer, one oldie first
and most eminent historians of his country, whose in
defatigable industry is only equalled by his splendid
talents— suffer in comparison w ith George E. Badger,
the Secretary of the Navy under the late whig re
gime? Admitting that the latter is a man of highly
respectable talents, he has not attained, nod never can
attain, the distinguished reputation for intellectual a
bility, at home or abroad, which the present Secretary
of the Navy now enjoy..
"And is Mr. John Bell to be ranked before Gov.
Marcy, the sagacious and experienced statesmen, who
was once the distinguished representativ e of the em
pire State in the Senate of the United States, and
afterwards one of the most eminent and succesful
governors to whom the affairs of that truly great State
was confided? If the "Express" think so we venture
to say that the country entertains a different opinion.
"And how is it with the Postmaster ( General under
General Harrison, and the present incumbent? Was
Mr. Granger, while in Congress, ever ranked before
Mr. Johnson as a man of talents? Was he ever rank
ed as high? He might not have incurred the wrath of
the many depredators upon the public treasury, whom
the indefatigable vigilance, firmness, and energy of
Cave Johnson kept at bay, and for which he merits the
thanks of the country. The people of this country
know Cave Johnson. They know his incorruptible
integrity, his Roman patriotism, his indomitable en
ergy, his sleepless industry, his fidelity to their inter
ests, arid his resources of mind, rising equal to every
emergency, which, as he progresses in the administra
tion of the difficult duties of the department over which
he presides, we venture to predict will become more
and more apparent. He may have no ambition to be
come a man of fashion—a gentleman of the ton. He
is u plain democrat, treating all who come in contact
wit), him with great courtesy and civility, and able and
willing to du his duty, without fearer favor, to God and
his country. We think he is ileitis as likely to be a
popular Postmaster General its Francis Granger.
"And as to Mr. Crittenden, the attorney general
under his General Harrison, we concede his talents and
his chivalric character, hut we must also do justice to
the bland and eloquent Ma4oll. Mr Crittenden filled
his place with greet credit to himself; and if a clear
head, an earnest devotion to his duties, the pursuit of
nn honorable ambition, the desire to prepare himself
for the ruinous duties which he has accepted, can'
reality him to discharge them with honor to himself
and advantage to his country, so will Judge Mason."

ETIQUETTE OF THE COURT OF BRAZIL.
The Brooklyn Star has received a letter frern Rio,
which gives the following sketch of the etiquette in the
Court of Brazil.
• " "Mr Wise has been presented to the
Imperial Court of Brazil. and is now duly installed
I as Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States. One
of the party gave us a few days since a description of
his reception by the Emperor and his Court. He was
accompanied by Mr. Walsh, the secretary of legation.
and one of our naval officers, all dressed in full uni
form—swords, cocked hats, &c. They were driven to
the palace in a splendid barouche and four; on arriving
at the palace, they were hewed into an anti-room—
soon after which they were conducted to the door of
Ithe reception room, where the Emperor and some of
his principal officers were in waiting to receive them.
On entering the door they stopped and made a low
bow, then walked forward to about the centre of the
room; they then proceeded to near the foot of the throne,
where they stopped and made another low bow. Mr.
Wise then made a speech to the Emperor, a copy of
which had been previously given to the Emperor's
prime minister. in order that his Majesty—being too
much of a heathen to understand English—might be
duly informed of what was about to be said to him by
the government of the United States through its new
represent° five.
At the C 103891 the speech, Mr. Wise ascended the
steps on the platform on which the throne was erect
ed, and presented to his Imperial Majesty his creden
tials, &c. The Emperer then said "eta bum," (very
good) and a few other words, expressing the great
satisfaction, &c. which these friendly assurances on
the part of the United States had afforded him. Our
Minister, and his two attendants, after another low
bow, at the foot of the throne, commenced their re
treat. The rnem was from eighty to one hundred feet,
in length, and this distance was to be truversed back
ward, as it is wholly contrary to court etiquette to
turn one's back to the Emperor. Fixing their eyes
therefore upon the Emperor, and judging the line of
direction by the lines of the carpet, they affected their
retreat in very good order, to the centre of the room;
bare they stopped and made another low bow to the
throne. They then recommenced their retreat. Mr.
iValsh, having often travelled that way before, was so
fortunate as to hit the tight door—but the Minister
was less fortunate. Either there was a divergency in
