"The voice of that conscience and the advice of my friends apprise me at prasent, after so many efforts, attempts and sufferings, supported without success, for the happiness of Spain, that Divine Providence does not reserve to me the power to accomplish the task with which T was charged, and that the moment has arrived to transmit that task to him whom decrees ofl Heaven invite, as they previously invited me.

SPAIN "Mr Albree offered n resolution giving certain in stroctions to the Committee on Distribution, which was read three times, adopted, and sent to S. C." The general inquiry is— What were these "certain instructions? Why was nut their nature and purpose made known? Every thing relative to the Relief Fund is interesting to the citizens, who are anxious to know all about its distribution. Perhaps these instruc tions commanded the Committee to do justice to some poor, and destitute citizen whose ease they neg lected—or perhaps they were required by this secret mandate of the Councils to pay money to some ap plicant that they thought undeserving of charity. If the Committee have not discha•ged their duty proper ly, the Council should not hesitate to expose their de reliction—if, on the other hand, they have been direc ted to perform acts %blob their sense of right forbade them to do, justice requires that the people §hould know it. The mere publication of the "instructions" would stop all speculation, satisfy the people, and show where the blame should rest, if any error has been committed. If the Councils do not publish .hcse"instructions," people will think they are ashamed of them. Mr LEE presented a petition from 111'1011sta & SMITH, complaining of the pavement in St. Clair st.

In a description of the forthcoming blink notes to he issued in Cincinnati under tho new banking law, cf Ohio, the Cincinnati Gazette say.: "A prominent point on the CO's of the Tmlepen dent Banks, we understand, it is to be portrait of An drew• Jackson." We heartily join in the protest of the Ohio States man against what it calls the intended "delectation" of the portrait of the revered Hero of the Hermitage.— Wo do not believe that the annals of legislation can show a more infamous enactment than the Banking Law under which these notes are to be issued. While virtually admitting, at every step in the progress of the Bill, that there was a strung necessity for checks and guards to protect the people against the plunder ing propensities of those who were anxious for the pas sage of the law, the legislature left open every avenue for fraud, and, in grinning mockery, they pretended to take the precautions they admitted were indispen sable. If Gen. JAcKsori were living. Ile would Iolb d, in the most decided manner, the use :last these bankers intend to make of his picture. He had nothing in common with the men who procured this Banking law, and who expect to be enriched by it. His position was' among the people from whose labor the profits of this multitude of Banks is to be wrung. His sympathies wore with that people, and the best years of his life have been passed in defending them from the mschi , nations of the class who now contemplate this mon strous insult to his memoty. Is it not the duty of those who are specially charged with carrying out the last wishes of the departed patriot, promptly to enter their protest against this desecration of his likenett. 1 If he could have imagined that such a thing would be done, he would unquestionably have enjoined upon his Executors the duty of preventing it if possible. And will they not be neglecting their duty if they for bear to warn the projectors of this outrage to desist? We think they would, and would urge upon diem to attend to it at once. IMPoTENT iM•LICE.—The Historical Society of New York met on Thursday evening last, for the pur pose of paying some mark of respect to the memory of Gen. Jackson. Resolutions highly eulogistic of the illustrious dead, were offered by Gen. P M Whetmore, and seconded in eloquent speeches by the lions. Daniel Webster and 13 F Butler. But there was one creature present, the malignity of whose feelings could net be softened by the reflection that the object of his hatred ' laid-cold iti death. Ile seized the occasion as a proper time to indulge in pat tizan vituperation, and to assail the memory cf dee good old man for whom the nation mourns, with all the malignant bitterness that his up • nght course through life hascalled forth from the cor ' rept and base. die person who made this ticanda toes attack is-a third or fourth rate lawyer of the name of Fs:ss ENDES, who shines occasionally with the brillian cy of a two-penny dip in the Court of Errors. We Tare gratified, however, to learn from the repot t of the proceedings in the News, that his speech was received with the scorn and disgust that such efforts should al ways meet from honorable -nen, and the resolutions were carried by an almost unanimous vote. Tho following are the resolutions to which Fesseri• den objected. Resolved, That in common with our fellow citizens throughout the Union, we lament the decease of a gal- 1 lant and distinguished soldier, whose victories have shed lustre on the Republic; an independent, sagacious, and faithful magistrate, whose steady aim was to ad vance the honor of his country. Resolved, That he who has gone down to the grave full of honors and full of years, has left behind him a character whose attributes of patriotism, courage, en ergy, resolution. fearlessness of responsibility, marked him as one of the few great men who leave an impress upon the age in which they lived. "Heaven gave I him length of days, and he filled them with deeds of greatness " His reputation is now the property of his country, and should be the care of her future Bio graphers and Historians. "It is a solid fabric, and will support the laurels which adorn it." Resolved, That the members of this Society, of which the demised was an honcrary associate, will wear the customary badge of mourning, and unite with the municipal authorities and citizens in paying a pub lic tribute of respect to his memory.

A previous nomination, made by the Mayor, was indignantly rejected by the Board of Assistant Alder men omeccount of the nominee being strongly tinctu red with aboriginal prejudices. Romarmc Arista —The Nashville Gazette has a romantic story, most ridiculously told, of a young lady, who ran away from her parents, residing near Nashville, went to Clarksville in men's clothes, and procured work as a tailor. In a few days her father came in pursuit of her, but did not recognize her.— She saw him, and wrote him a letter, telling him that he could not catch her. This was a sure clue to her retreat, and he found her and took her home or to a lunatic asylum. She assumed the name of AARON 13nowtr. The cause of her insanity is said to he a passion of novel reading, which caused her to abandon every other employment. There is no young gentleman in the case. rr The New Lisbon Patriot cautions the public against the cunning of a young gentleman who an swers tc the euphonious cognomen of Peter M. De shong, who has been "doing" the good citizens of that borough out of their small change by a new system of Mathematics. He proposes to impart a knowledge of the science of numbers and measures in two lessons; when he givos the first he exacts the tuition fee, but before the time for giving the second, the gentleman has sloped, and the "seekers after useful knowledge" fin I they have been "diddled." A CASE.—The publishers of the Evening Mirror were arrested at New York on Tuesday, and held to hail at the police office, for a libel on Dr. L. S. Comstock, published in Monday's Mirror. They were also held to bail in the Supreme Court for the same offence. A Mestmotti STEAMCR.—The largest steamboat ever built was launched at New York on Tuesday. It is in length 390 feet, in breadth of beam 35 feet, and including guards, 69 feet; depth of hold 10 feet, and measures 1200 tons. She covers the same water that a sea-going vessel of 2 900 tons would, and is cal. led the Hendrick Hudson. She is designed to run as an evening passenger boat between New Yoik and Al bany, on the independent plan. Another monster , stea mer, two hundred tons larger than the above, is now being built. \V¢s[.tt!e•!ts trt CAMADA.—The yearly conference of %Yes!flan ministers for Canada East, came to a conclusion last week.

Several changes have ta ken place in the appointments of the clergy. A splen did museum is in course of formation by contribution of the Baptist College. lessrx Editors:—l saw en extract in the Age of a late date, taken from the New Haven Courier, head ed "Extravagance of Congress" which is calculated to du gross injustice as well to Congress as to the di.- ting niohed sculptor to whom it alluded. The article is in the following language: "Some Italian dandy, all mustachios and pomposity, scarcely heard of in his own country, comes to our shores and is instantly transformed from the rough hewer, of tomstones into a sculptor of statues for the most conspicuous places in the Capitol, whilst Ameri can genius, &c., &c." "Columbus resembles an Otto Motty with a can non ball in his fist, or a follow running off with a eta• len water melon, while the female Indian looks like Susannah when she escaped from the elders or a termagant just released from the ducking stool.— People in Italy probably are differently moulded from I those in this, region; such anatomical deformities do not exist generally among is PS are exhibited in some of the transatlantic carvings nt Washington, &c.," Up on this the Age adds that "The Piety Ileven Courier comes down in the proper manner upon Congress for Mving Persico, an Italian sculptor, $lOO,OOO for in ferior works.''' 1 Now I think that the Editor of the Age had never seen the splendid Group of the Columbus, which is placed upon the pedestal of the entrance in the rear of the Capitol at Washigton, or he would nut have added such remarks in having so gratuitously adopted the observations of the Courier. I have a better opinion of his taste. The light in which the sculptor himself is placed by the Courier, is in keeping with the view taken of the Columbus and equally unjust. Mr Persico is no dandy, and he is neither all mus tachios nor pomposity. No man is less pompous than ho. He is as cheerful, as courteous and as ac cessible as any man you can see in a thousand. If his manners have any faults it is in being st ith his friends too free and familiar. Altogether, he is one of the most pleasant, flank, unassuming and interest ing gentlemen one can meet with, and a sculptor of acknowledged genius of the highest order. To cast a sneer upon the most sacred subjects, as well as upon the loftiest works of the fine arts, is an easy task. Ridicule is a resistless weapon, even in the rode hands of the New Haven Courier, and men seldom stop to consider its want of taste or want of justice. This some Courier might represent David's splendid picture of Christ taken from the Cross as that of a disgusting corpse hauled from a horse-pond with his head garnished with prickly pears and streaks of In dian paint on his nose, and his side like a gash in a ripe water melon. But would such nonsense decry the fame of David or lessen the admiration of hi s genius. It may be very funny indeed to trifling minds to declare that the Indian of Persico is like Susannah escaping from the elders, or a termagant just released from the duck stool. But whet e did the Courier learn how Susannah looked when she esca ped from the Elders, or when (lid he see a termagant just released from a ducking stool? Such vague con ceits proclaim a bluntness of perception and a reck lessness of truth too characteristic of the press in gen eral. The Editor cf theCoutierlittledreams of the pain which he may inflict upon the delicate mind of the sea- Fitly° g enius who conceived the splendid group he thoughtlessly ridicules. He inflicts a more indelible kind of mortification than that which was experienced from the rudeness of some spectator who once threw his quid of tobacco in vulgar jocularity upon the fe male figure as an indication of his unfeeling destitu tion of taste, and his disregard for the ordinary decen cies of life. The stain of the tobacco was readily re moved; but the article of the Courier, destitute as it is of the perception of beauty, of truth, of justice and of elegance, may spread a stigma wide enough to do Mr Persico an indelible injury among his fellow citizens. This stigma I would be glad to remove for the sake of congress and my country, fur the sake of the sensi bility of genius, fur the sake of the fine arts them selves. The group of Columbus and the Indian woman, is in my judgment one of the most noble conceptions, one of the most magnificent creations of genius of any age or any country. To one who has any perception of the sublime and beautiful it is a splendid spectacle. It is placed upon one of the projecting battlements of the flight of steps leading into the rear of the Capitol, and looks over the broad open 'receipt* the public gardens. The noble, manly, and well turned form of Colum bus, is clothed in the mailed armour of the fifteenth century. His head is bare, and he is pressing forward upon one foot, in all the eager eestary which we may imagine would excite, to the highest pitch, the enthu- I elastic genius of Christopher Columbus, the daring uturigater. when the glories of a PiewWorittwere burst ing upon his delighted vision, Bud his ardent mind was inflamed with the prospect of his own fame. the fas cinating hope of carrying the riches of the Indies to his King and country, and of spreading far and wide the Kingdom of his Redeemer. His right foot is advanced, and his right arm. high above his head, holds.forth to the admiring nations, to the astonished gaze of the human race?, the globe he had so arduously and triumphantly circumnavigated, the continent he bad jest discovered, and which he had so confidently predicted to exist. There he stands, dis playing the bright conception of glowing and triumph ant genius. At his side crouches the form of the In dian woman wrapt in nmazement, lost to all sense of her own existence, displaying in her countenance, her attitude, her whole figure and every lineament, the genius of the new World paying obeisance, not only to the daring, successful exploits of the noble hero upon whom her gaze is so softly bent, but the conscious in feriority of the Indian of America, of the unlettered savage in the presence of the vigorous personification of the mental and physical dove! Ipeirrent of the Cau casian MCP. - - . In my Judg-nent this work of Luigi Persico is a splendid, magnificent conception of human genius, alike creditable to the government which called it into existence, and of the intellectual endowment, enlight ened taste and cultivated perception of the great sculptor who traced it. It is needless to say that the form of the figures, the lineaments of countenance, the chisseling of the ' drapery, is all of exquisite touch and artistic ii The swell, proportion and display of the muscles, the delineation of the whole anatomical structure is per ' feet. With the wretched figures which attempt to adorn the niches of the Rotunda of the Capitol, Mr. Persi co has nothing to do, and of them I have nothing to say. As fur Mr. Persico supplanting American genius, I know nor believe nothing. I shall be glad to sea such an American genius as Persico amply rewarded. The remuneration of Mr. Persico, I am well informed, considering the great expense to which he was subjec ted, has been far from ample. I think, sir, this little sketch of a great work is due to the in,slest and distinguished merit of Persico. Messrs. Edilorc—The increase of trade and the immense amount of river business done at Pittsburgh, in my opinion, renders it indispensable that the bridge, now about to be rebuilt, shall he placed at a heighth to prevent its being an obstruction to the navigation. It is admitted, that it has heretofore been a hin drance, and on many occasions an absolute bar to the passage of Steamboats. We shall soon require the use and occupancy of the beach or landing, from the Point, on the Allegheny river, to the first dam on the Monongahela; and it has already become essential that boats of all descriptions shall be able to pass the bridge at all seasons end at the highest stages of wa ter. No one, I presume, will deny, that up to the time of its demolition the :Monongahela bridge has been an obstruction to our trade. How much more more likely is it to become su in future? If the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road shall termi• note at Pittsburgh, the business above the bridge will be greatly increased. The depot and warehouses of this railroad will undoubtedly be located above the first dam; and steamboats must be enabled to get into the pool of that dam to load and unload their cargoes. If the bridge be place.' on its firmer level, this cannot be done. And at sea.ons when there will be the great• eat rush of Lusiness, boats will not he able to ascend or descend the river. This should in same way be prevented. Our landings opposite the city, should be approachable and free of access at all times. The prospects and facilities of trade—the enterprise of our citizens,—the necessities of our manufacturing astablishments end the future commercial prosperity of our city alike demand an open arid free navigation. The pecuniary interests of the city a 1..) demand it, as the revenues front wharfage and tonnage must dimin ish if boats are nut permitted to t•bmin landings to dis charge and take in cargoes. The fact is notorious that the old Monongahela Bridge was an injury to the business 1.1 the city, and a serious obstruction to the navigation. This is ad mitted by the Managers and Stockholders of that bridge, and the only reason and excuse which is of fered for not re building at a higher elevation, is that the Company is too poor to incur the additional ex pense of raising the abutments and piers. If this be -o it is really unfortunate. But the good and interests . . . • r• FOR IRK POST of the many, shonld be consulted. Ihe prosperity of the city is a paramount consideration—and I think that the city Councils. or the people, f.hmill provide the additional sum required to raise the bridge, instead of permitting it to be reconstructed at a heighth that will render it a lasting and permanent interruption to the trade and business of Pittsburgh. COMMERCE. GENERAL JACKSON. The following is, perhaps,the last written statement made by the departed patriot Jackson. We have seen the original in the bands of a friend of General Arm strong, on which is based an application for a pension; and. with leave of that friend, present it to our readers. It is in Gen. Jackson's own handwritng, produced only 23 days before his death. In it, there is nothing trem ulous, but it can set the same boldness of hand as though it had been written ten years ago. Gen. Armstrong is now our Cmsul at Liverpool, whither he has gone. The appointment reflects much credit on the discern ment and good judgement of President Polk, for a more gallant and meritorious person could not have been selected. 11' e understand he has taken with him that trusty and expei iencecl sword which was the com panion of the hero of New Orleans throughout the late war.—Union. "I have carefully examined the within declaration of General Robert Armstrong fur a pension, and do hereby certify that it is true in all its parts; and 1 do further certify, that in the battle of the 23d of January, 1819, called and known by the name of Enotochopco, the shameful flight of my rear guard produced panic and confusion in my whole army,that it was the unflinch ing bravery of then Lieutenant Armstrong, acting as cantain of the volunteer artillery guards, that saved my whole army from a total and shameful defeat, and all my wounded from horrid massacre. The little Spartan band, of about twenty-five in number, met and bravely faced upwards of five hundred of the bra- 1 vest Creek warriors, checked them in their desperate onset, and at one fire of this savage host, I saw seven of this little heroic band fall—amongst them was Lieut. Armstrong, commanding as captain, severely wounded. He fell by the side of the cannon, exclaim ing to his men this heroic expression: 'Some of you. 210 my brave fellows, most perish; but save the cannon,' They did save the cannon, and my whole army from a shameful defeat, and my brave wounded from barba rous massacre. For this severe wound Gen. Arm trong claims a pension—l might have said glorious wound. Can there he an American bosom that will not respond, 'Yield it to him, to the full amount of a captain's pay, as an honorable testimonial to the bra very of the General, end his valuable services to his country?' "Given at the Hermitage, Tennessee, this 16th of May, 1345. ANDREW JACKSON " 'Hoopla, or "the East Alabamian," frrnishes the following "scrape and oddities" in his last paper: "Here is Ciceronian energy. We have not seen a ny thing in the classics to equal it, and its great beauty is enhanced by its simplicity of construction. It is the out-pouring of an Illinois landlord, against a tuna way "gentleman of the bar."
