From New Orleans. oiH'The Crevasse Closed. -We learn from New i -Orleans that the Crevasse, the cause of the recent inundation of a large portion of that city, has been effectually closed, and that the city is almost free 'vfrom water. 'I' Authentic intelligence of the death of Ex-President Polk reached New Orleans on the 22d ul- timo. and was followed by every demonstration 1 of respect for his memory. The various courts .. in session adjourned, flags were displayed at half :ilrnast,, minute guns fired, &c. Tlie Irish State Prisoners. The counsel of Smith O'Brien, .Meagher, and the other Irish patriots, have discovered that before sentence of death can be commuted, it must be done with "the consent of the prisoners.

" , - How Jnucli Brandy! A correspondent of the Tribunej comments upon the instructions issued by the Medical Ysi Gouncil of New York, and.the reconmepdation evjof V a little brandy and water.? He asks how much a little brandy and wateris?" To which. -the Tribune replies, that, having a sort of out sider's faith in bomcepaihy, be should advise three drops of brandy in a bucket of water, and that a spoonful of the mixture be put into an othej bucket of water, from which, he thinks the patient-might safely drink.

By the very fact of adopting thirty per cent. , as the lowest late -ofduty, -instead )f Jtoen-percenti, paid under the TaTiff:that existed in and '42, the Secretary admitted the necessity of protection, and its advantage. Were it not that there 'exist ed valid -reasons for the maintenance of protection, no one can doubt that the .people would consume more and ,pay more to the revenue, under a duty of twenty per cent., than one under thirty The former, however, had been tried and had failed. The revenue was so far reduced that the Treasury was almost bankrupt arid the Whig administration elected in 1840, were compelled to hawk through- out Europe, the government securities created for the purpose of supplying the deficit produced by the Free trade' system The Secretary, while preaching free trade, was practising protection. He thought that 30 per cent., would answer, if 20 would not. It was not,' however, in accordance with his theories of trade. -to make even that dutv. a certain one. He r ' had a horror of specific duties. He supposed then as he appears to have done ven -up to the date of his last report, that there existed some ".general principle by which the foreign article is continually tending to a diminished price," and that therefore " the advalorem always bearing the same proportion to the value of the import" was u the most just sequel." The Secretary was un happily, a mere theorist. He had studied many books, but he was totally devoid of the practical knowledge required to enable him to test the ac curacy of the doctrine taught therein. Had he had any such .knowledge, he would have seen that if there existed any such principle, there existed also some counteracting cause which neutralized it so frequently that for any practical .purposes it 'might be .regarded as non-existent. He might 4iave seen iron up to dl2 and down to 4, and vibrating perpetually between these two extremes, with a rapidity that set at defiance all calculation. The producers of iTon would not, we believe, hare objected to 36 per cent., had the duty been made specific. That, however, would not have been in accordance with the Secretary's theory. He had imbibed from 'tis books a horror of speci fic duties, -and he would, have none of them. He would give the people who labored in the produc tion of iron, a duty of 30 per cent, to protect them from the increasing fluctuation of the English mar-, ket, and nothing more. The price of bars at that time was, we think, about JE10, ($48,) and the duty consequently about fifteen dollars. While the price remained so high abroad, the 4ron mart at home did not need such a duty. ' The latest quo tation we have seen is 4 17, $22 28;) the duty upon which is $6 68, or less than one-half. The manufacturer was to have protection when he did not need it, and when hc did, he was not to have it. Such was the system fastened upon the country by -the -late administration the system wlios'e re sults we are -now witnessing, and shall continue to witness until Congress shall, by the passage of the Tariff of 1850 give effect to the determination of the people made manifest in the election of our present chief magistrate. As with iron, so with any thing else.. Not con tent with a reduction to 30 per cent, upon wool lens, and cottons, and hardware, the price upon which the duty was to be assessed', was left de pendent upon the chances of European politics, and the very existence of the great manufacturing interest, which furnishes to the farmer a market "or nearly all his produce, was placed at the mer cy of the governments of Europe, who were not slow to avail themselves of the power thus grant ed to them. Thus, we have seen both France and Belgium offering large bounties on exports, to en able the manufacturers to export their goods' at less than the mere cost of production, and to fill to repletion the. markets of the United Slates, be fore suppled with similar merchandise by men who eat our own food, while working up our own wool, or ore, or coal, but who were now compelled to suspend operations, or to remain idle earning no wages, and unable to .produce food or clothes. The protective system has been declared to be " a warfare upon "the labor of the world," although under it the labor obtained food and clothes more readily than 'under the free trade one. The Sec retary abolished protection as far as he thought he might dare to do, and the result was that the laborer found food and clothes more difficult of at tainment, iYe. dearer than before. The Secreta ry's theory was a 'good one. Its only fault was that it could not be applied to practice. That, however, he did not knovy,.for he derived his po litical economy from the books of men who pos sessed no more practical knowledge than himself Texas. By an arrival at New Orleans, we have later dates from Texas. The political excitement was quite high. The candidates for Gornor are the Hon. James Webb. Col. P. H.Bell, Mr. Wood, &c.,'ahd about the Bairie number to represent Western Texas'in Congress. The surveyors, sent out bythe lamented 'Gen.

Xel Him that Hath Tears, Pepare to Shed Thein Woiv. ; J.J p It as fcutaXew weeks since tbe Locofoco 3ead;' ers and papers all over the country were bewail ing the removal of Simon Drum from the Greens burg Post Office. The very air was filled with their lamentations. Simon had only held the place some Torty years, atfdit wathe mbst'ruth-5 less cruelty in the Whig Administration to- turn him outt)f office, indignation -meetings were held, at which boasts were -made, that " Old Simon" should 'be supplied with?a better office atlhe hands of his Locofoco .brethren. Well, they .held Jheir conventionon'the 19th ultimo, and all were on tiptoe to see what would be done for -the " martar" whose head had fallen under " whig proscription."" Mr. Drum was announced by his friends as, a candi date for the office of County Commissioner. An appeal was made to the convention to stand by the man that -had been so cruelly treated that has done so much for the Locofoco cause. It was even pleaded that his defeat in.a nomination would be a disgrace to the party, and .prove that all their professed sympathy was hollow-hearted hypocrisy, the object of which was to raise a hue and cry against the New Administration, without cause. But the appeal did not save him. Four ballots were, had, and Drum was beaten two to one, Mr. J. W. Marshall being nominated on the last ballot. So the sympathy for poor Drum has all oozed out, like Bob Acre's, at the fingers. His tremendous popularity was not sufficient to obtain for him a nomination for the office of County commissioner. But. the Locofocos of Westmoreland know him, and can appreciate his merits. They have writ ten " hypocrisy" upon thoir own front, and pro nounced him " unworthy." So poor old Drum " In vain looks back to what he was before ; He-sets like stars that fall to rise no more." The following is the Locofoco ticket of West moreland county : Assembly John T. M'Cullouch, H. P. Laird, JosephGuffey. Sheriff John Huges. Register and Recorder James Keeman, jr. Treasurer T. X. Barclay. Commissioner J. W. Marshall. Auditor Ephraim Lloyd. Coroner B. Haines. Trustees -D. K. Marchand, H. D. Foster. The Westmoreland Intelligencer in noticing the ticket, says : "In scanning the above ticket the reader will not be a little surprised that the name of Sjmon Drum, is nowhere to be found in the honored list. Alas1, for " poor Simon Drum." He has now ex perienced, and the people have witnessed the hollow-hearted sympathies of Locofocoism. All must remember, the inconsiderable grief which seemed to overwhelm, the. Republican, and Pennsylvania Argus the Pittsburg Post, Bedford Gazette, Pennsylvanian and Washington Union, in consequence of Mr. Drum's late Temoval from ,the Post Office in this place. Tears flowed like " rivers of water" down the grief worn visages of these weeping Jeremiahs. And, at the great supper of condolence, (without listinction o( party,) poignant grief, well feigned, seemed with many, to dull the 41 keen edge of ap petite," and the genial flow of conviviality which were wont to enliven the social board on less mel ancholy occasions was quite absorbed in the re grets of sympathising friends, (without distinction of party.) i And then the speeches and toasts delivered on the occasion1. the touching eloquence the warm adulation the deep sympathy expressed for the revered guest-the scathing, scorching, withering, invective poured out against Wbig pro scription and ingratitude, moved some locofocos, it was said, to tears, and no doubt,to the belief that the party only waited (with impatience) the op portunity to bestow upon Mr. Drum some fat of fice, that in his declining years would enable him to support his family, and sooth the asperities that accumulate in the pathway of old age. But Ol how vain are the hopes that are based upon political faith ? especially of the genus Loco foco. The fountain of its tears is so shallow that it is dried up before they have begun to flow its sympaties are like Jonah's gourd,. the worm of in gratitude is at the root, and they wither before the first rays' of the morning-sun. We stated at the time that the day was not far distant when locofoco consistency would be put to the test; and its hypocrisy exposed. That day has arrived, and the predictions of many have been fully verified. It was predicted "them, that Mr. Drum would get no office from the party ; and that prediction has proved true. Mr. Drum was used for the occasion for the purpose of creating a prejudice against General Taylor's administra tion ; but the device has been completely frustra ted and exposed. U'w Of all the fat offices which he locofocos of t Westmoreland county have in their gift, not one, either great or small, has fallen to the lot of' poor Simon Drum !" From Oregon City. The New York Tribune has b6en favored by Theophilus Bates, Esq., with the perusal of an interesting letter from' his sister, now resi dent in Oregon City, dated February 20 : She says that the discovery of the gold mines in California has entirely changed the aspect of thing in Oregon.

She sHya the condition of the people of Or egon is to suffer much from the emigration to California, as whole families wero departing for the minet.

This will attract and kill flies, without danget of poisoning children.11 The Mischief of a Jest. The Boston Herald gives the following ac count of Milton W Streeter, rrow lying under sentence of death, in Massachusetts, for the murder of his wife : Streeter is a man of a low order of intellect, and almost entirely governed by the animal passions. He married his wife, Elvira Haugh ton, after a month's courtship, and was for sev eral months most fondly attached to her, so much ,so, we understand, that ho could not bear to see any one render to her the most common attentions without exhibiting the ut most jealousy. This trait was observed by his townsmehs and some of them made ii a point to work8 upon his suspicious nature, by seem ing to be upon the most intimate terms with his wife. W;e were told that a man named Bacon, doing business in the island of Cuba, visited Southbridge a few months before the commission of the murder, and either having discovered or been informed of Streeter jeal ous disposion, set himself to work to excite his suspicions of the chastity of his wife to the highest degree. To this end he took lodg ings in a tavern nearly opposite the house oc cupied by Streeter, and used every method in his powei to insinuate that he was in unlawful communication with Mrs S. Streeter observed this, and watched his house and wife with the utmost vigilance, often neglecting his oc cupations for that purpose ; but he made no discovery warranting a certain belief that his wife was unfaithful to him with this individual. It is said that some of his townsmen were accustomed from time to time to give him half a dollar or so and request him to give it to his wife, pretending that they were indebted to her in that amount for some work done by her for them. Such things as these, long continu ed, had rendered Streeter nervous and irrita ble in the extreme, and he firmly believed that Mrs. Streeter had been guilty of infidelity to his bed,;, he had therefore threatened her with severe measures, unions she satisfied him of her innocense, and had carried a razor to bed with him severel times, for the purpose of ter rifymg her into a confession ; but instead of confessing anything, she finally complained to a justic of the peace that she considered her life endangered by any farther cohabitation with him, and he was therefore put under bonds to keep the peacR,and also was ordered to sep arate from his wife and leave the State. These rude and remorseless jokers have now the satisfaction of knowing that their.fine sport has been purchased by the death of one human being at the hands of a murderer, and is yet to be farther paid for by the death of anoth er on the scaffold.

The following has been used down east, as a vety pleasant substitute for a "printer's dun: it is to be set to the music of the jingling of the dollars : " We'll gaily chaserd'utl care away And banish orery sh'trow-i Subscribers pay your debts to-day, And We'll pay ours to-morrow. : Arifhventioriis annouhcedo profectBankV artdsshops omrobltery," The 'momenn -the' rogues touch (he looks, inside or out, a galvan te. battery knocks' tbom rjowq and ringa & bell. ARRIVAL OP THE HJKERMA seven Days later from Europe. St. John, N. B., June 28 1P The wires have been down since last nioj,. until'' -now. The steamer Hibernia, Capta, Stone, arrived at Halifax yesterday afternoon with 70 passengers for New York and 22 L Halifax. r She-left for New Yord, at about 4 o'clock and will arrive at her wharf at an early h0llr on Saturday morning. By her we have daies one week later from all parti of Europe. The Canada arrived at Liverpool on Tuej. day morning. The Caledonia, as we learn from the officer, of the. Hibernia, was seen on Sunday afier. noon, and would arrive at Liverpool on Tuej. day morning. Accident to the Steamer V State. The steamer United States arrived at Lirer. pool just as the Hibernia left. When 24 houis out from New York, she struck on a sou-J, shoal off Nantucket, where she remained fur four hours, and threw overboard 70 tons of coal. She subsequently damaged one of her boilers so much as to render it useless for remainder of the passage. She will uniierso the necessary repairs at Liverpool. 8 The United States passed the Sarah Sandi ihe day previous to her arrival at Liverpool. The celebrated steamer Great Britian haj been purchased by Mr. Fillings, of Londoi and is to be fined out io run between Ljrer pool and New York. Insurrection in Paris. On Wednesday an incipient insurrection yu attempted in Paris by about 25.0UO of ine Mountain party headed by M. Emetine Aran, Jr., and was suppressed by the troops, whose number amoumed to 70,000. Several aiiempr were made to erect barricades. In the evening the Assembly declared itie'.f en permanence, and passed a decree, declaring Paris in a state of siege. On Thursday, ih alarm had considerably subsided, and business which was emirely suspended the day pren. ous, was generally resumed. At one time the peril was eminent, and noth ing but the courage and prudence of the Piej. ident, aided by firmness and sagacity, pretea ted ihe most serious consequences. Numerous arrests have taken place, incla. ding several members of the Assembly, AI. An. go and Ledru Rollin being among ihrm. The last accounts report a state of tranquility, but there was an uneasy feeling afloauhau renewed attempt would be made to upset the Government, and that when it comes to the point, the troops will not prove steady. Italy Attack on the City The City AllachJ by the French TroopS'SOO Romans Killed- Rome Still Invincible. From Rome we learn that the French army commenced the attack on the 30 h i st., and that, after a sanguinary engagement, in which the Romans lost 800 men succeeded in carry ing several important posts. A serious of attacks have ince taken place, in which the victory is variously stated, but in which the invading army has suffered most. The French papers publish conflicting re ports of the operations of the army, but from accounts received to tho 5h ult., it is clear that Gen. Oudinot had not then gained access to the city, though he had gained a posiiionat the north of Rome, which would enable himto command the city. The latest despatch from Gen. Oudinot iiio the 6th ult., at which time he opened his tou ches and had regularly besieged the city. There is no appearance of yielding on tie part of the Romans, but on the contrary, eiery thin? eoes to confirm the belief that they woofJ make a most determined resistance anub.'K Of - . m ( to the last.
