The Astor Library Building has been commen ced in New York, and will be completed at the end of two years and a half, at an estimated cost of $75,000. Mail Robbery. Another mail robbery has been committed, says the Sunbury American, on the route from Muncy, via Danville, to Philadelphia. A letter containing S500, mailed at Muncy for Philadelphia is mis &ing. An agent of the Post-Office Department has been on the line for several days trying to fer ret out the robbery, but as yet has been unsuc cessful. James Lennox, Esq., of New York, for whom the original manuscript of Washington's Farewell address was purchnsed in Philadelphia, has a for tune which yields S 120,000 per annum. He is a bachelor, and a man of the most princely liberali ty and benevolence. It is said that his charitable contributions amount to $00,000 per annum one half of his income. A correspondent of the New York Express says: "Mrs Miller, who was reported as having been seen in Virginia, has not as yet been dis covered by her almost distracted husband.

TJr A letter from a young man now in San Francisco, states that $20,000 in bills of the Trenton Banking Co. were destroyed by the late fire in a gambling house in thai city. The indi vidual who suffered the loss, also had 10,000 in gold in the same place, which was also destroyed. He, however, said that he would make it up soon, and sure enough, in four days he informed the writer that he was as well off as before the fire. The Friends and the Union. The imposture of the recent petition presented to Congress, asking a dissolution of the union, and purporting to come from the society of Friends, has been fully exposed. We find in the proceed ings of the Jlouse of Representatives on Thurs day week, that Jude Dayton, of N. JM in present ing a memorial for the employment of more cer tain means for the suppression of the slave trade, look occasion to refer to this gross imposture, and at the same time to explain the position of the society5 of Friends, in reference to the question., Jn presenting the memorial, he said : 41 This memorial has been delivered to me by a committee representing this annual meeting, and while doing so they were anxious in their in quiries as to the presentation of a certain memo rial which was presented to this body on a recent occasion, asking for a dissolution of the union, and which was understood as coming from the socie ty of Friends, or certain members of it. They desire me to disclaim, in the most distinct lan guage, any participation in this matter, or any dis position on the part of the society of Friends, to say any thing of that kind. They say that they know and appreciate too well the benefits and privilege's conferred by and enjoyed under this government, especially in regard to that religious toleration which is given alike (to all denomina tions, ever to desire the dissolution of this union; and they disclaim on the part of that society any indulgence in such feelings or ideas. They have also requested me to state, that if any such memo rial as that referred to has been presented here, and represented or understood to have come from any portion of their society, it can only have come from individuals entertaining peculiar notions, and not from the society in its collective capacity. But this committee, representing as they do this large meeting of this very numerous and influential class of citizens, utterly repudiate" all such ideas as those contained in lhat memorial." Bar mini's pay to Jenny JLind. The Liverpool Mercury of the 22d ult!f says Mr. B's agent was anthorized to offer the Swedish vocalist $250,000 for one hundred and fifty nights! besides the full provision for her suite of six per sons. It is understood that she has abandoned the stage, and will sing only at concerts having devoted herself aod her income to charitable ob jects.

'Hie following article from the Bedford Gazette is copied with approbation. by ihe locofoco papers: David Wilmot. The course pursued by this I gentleman during the present session of Congress- appears to have rendered him odious to the entire Democracy of the Commonwealth. Those who once believed him to be sincere. (though infalua nn the subject of slavery, now view him as the merest demagogue and pliant tool of Whigge ry. His opposition to the regular nominee of the Democratic party in Congress, places him upon the "Same -platform with Best a position which will adhere to. him whilst he lives. We deeply regret the necessity; which compels us to make this statement, for our attachment to Mr. Wilmot, whilst fairly acting with the Democratic party, knew no bounds. We loved his a);?arcicandor, and were carried away by the thrilling beauty of his oratory but he-has" passed the line betrayed his high trustand is now a deserter, fighting in the ranks of the enemy I His doom is written in the flood of indignation with which his treason has been received by the entire Democratic press of a State that once delighted to own him as a distin guished representative of her true interests. He is irrecoverably a lost man, and we record the fact with pity and mortification. Small Iotes. It; is very, desirable that we should, have, from our Legislature at this session an efficient Mlaw, that will banish from our State the foreign small Bank notes with which we are flooded. The evil is a great and increasing one, to the inconvenience and loss of our citizens. The people will have a small note circulation. Legislation has in vain tried to prevent it, and if we are to have, how much better would it be to have these notes issued by our own State Banks. They will, be redeema ble with specie, and counterfeits will be more readily known and detected. Our small note cir culation cannot be less than five rmllions of dollars, four-fifths of which are furnished by the Banks of other States. Amongst them are in this section of j the State many counterfeits on the Ilagerslown Bank and State Bank of Ohio, and which impose on the mass of our citizens. The Banks of other States are allowed "all the advantage of this large , , , , not allowed to take and pay out these, notes, they are from necessity forced into circulation and kept current to the inconvenience and loss of many." This is no party question now. Both parties are j suffering from the inconvenience, and require from our Legislature a remedy. Let our State ! Banks be allowed to issue an amount of notes un- ; der five dollars, limited by their capital ; and for 4 this privilege to pay an additional tax or bonus ; and forbid them to receive or pay out small notes of the banks of other States, except for the pur pose of remitting such foreign notes to their res- nective places of issue for payment, the people . , , f , t, . ' would prefer much as a currency the small notes 1 J of our own Banks, but until they are furnished ; with such, they feel obliged to use the small note currency which so extensively prevails, to their ' annoyance and loss and to the profit of Banks of! other States, which are not under the control of our laws, and contribute nothing to "our State for the advantages which they have under this circu lation of their notes. Franklin Int. Making Axesi The Cincinnati Commercial gives the following account of the way they turn out 1500 axes daily at Collinsville, Conn., the largest factory of axes in the world. The iron is rolled out into bars the proper width and thickness of an axe, and G, S, and 10 feet long; it is heated, and cut off by a large pair of shears, propelled by water power; another work- . ... r r-. - aie anc puncn, ana me puncn comes uown ana torces tne noie lor tne nanciie oy puncmng out a piece. An iron mandrill is then inserted in the 1 hole, and it is immediately put under another ' c- i r r .i j ' press, which forms one side of the axe ; and is , pic3, luiino o.uo we , an 10 then placed in an upright posit,on, and a chisel ' comes down andr splits the "bus of the axe ready for the steel ; it is then thrown aside. All this is done at one heat, and in less, time than-it takes to write the modus operandi. The blade of the axe is then put in and welded, and passed along to the forger, tempered, and is cast upon the ground to cool; it is then taken up and planed to an edge j by a planing machine, and finished up wilh. the emery wheels painted, labelled, stamped and ready for market. Post Office Business. The New York Courier and Inquirer furnishes the following statistics of the regular business of the Post Office in that city. It says :. 14 There are made up daily in the Post Office, four thousand four hundred and eighty mails, more than two thirds of which are made up thrice in each day, making over seven thousand mails made up for separate places daily.' These are deposited in two hundred and sixty separate pouches under lock. Of newspapers, there are about two hundred large canvass bags despatched daily, and on Wed nesday and Thursday, of each week, 200 and 50 extra bags are despatched oh each of those days, and on Friday, nearly as many more. The aver- age number of letters received at, and sent from the office, daily, is between fifty and sixty thous- , ' 3t . ., u . uuu. kji newspapers, ine uany average wuuiu uu about one hundred and twelve thousand.. " There are seventy-six clerks employed, and thirty carriers, with their assistants.' Of these, six are night clerks, who commence .at 6 1-5 P- M. and leave at 5 A. M. The day clerks commence at half-past five A. M., and all remain on duty, until half past four in the winter, and five in the sum mer; the remainder of the time until the night clerks 'come on duty, a sufficient number remain to keep up the work of Vhe office. " The above work, which is exclusive of any of the British, Bremen, or California steamers, will give something like a correct impression of the amount of labor performed at the Post Office in one day."

A Pennsylvania Legislature - llnrrisburg, February 25. ; Senate.-$rhe Speaker laid before the Senate the twenty-second Annual Report.of the House of Refuge, v'. . Mr. Matthias presented a remonstrance against the incorporation of 1200 acres of Farmland into the borough of West Philadelphia. Mr. Frailev, petition for the incorporation of the 4 Farmers' and Mechanics Bank at Easton. Mr. Shimer, petition for the incorporation of a Bank to be located at Allentown; also, for the in corporation of a Bank at Easton. Mr. Packer, fiom citizens of Lycoming for an extension of the charter of the West Branch Bank; also from citizens of Westmoreland, Alleghany, Butler and Armstrong, for the erection of a new county to be called Oregon. Mr. Cunningham petion to close public works on the Sabbath day. Mr. Saddler, petition to extend the rights of suf frage without distinction of color. Mr. Walker, a supplementary bill relative to In spectors, passed April 15th,, 1825.

Mr. Drum a bill supplementary to the act con cerning Divorces, which, on motion, was taken up and passed Committee of the Whole. Mr. Packer a bill relative to the destruction of Relief Notes. Mr. Frailey offered the followed Resolution, which was lost on second reading: Resolved, That any member of the Senate, who neglects, or refuses to vote, on any question before the Senate when his name is called by the clerk, shall not, thereafter, and pending the same ques tion, be allowed to vote without first obtaining the consent of the Senate. A variety of private bills of no general interest passed final reading, and the Senate adjourned. House The Speaker laid before the House the annual report ol the House of Refuge ; also te- j monstrance from John Hare Powell, and others, f against the extension of the boundaries of West Philadelphia. The bill regulating Banks was made the special order for Wednesday next. Mr. Smysor petion for an extension of the right of suffrage, regardless of color. Mr. Walker, for the passage of a law prohibit ing the sale of intoxicating drinks on the Sabbath. A great number of petitions were presented for the alteration of Tavern Licenses, closing Public Works on Sunday, repeal of the $300 Exemption, i remonstrance against same, to avoid the inclined j planes on the Portage Railroad, petitions and re ( monstrances for and against the erection of new counties, &c. I Mr. Porter read in place a bill. relative to limi- rations of accounts ; also a supplement to an suppiessinf camblin". act ppressmg gamul Coffee and its Substitutes. The natural effect of the present very high price of coffee is to diminish the consumption. At Cin cinnati the consumption is said to have fallen off more than one-half since the late rise, and at New Orleans, a writer in the Bulletin thinks that the sales are diminishing more than one-third, or even one-half. He gives the average stocks on the 1st of February for five years in that city, at 20, 000 sacks ; now they are estimated at 75,000 to S0.000. With reference to deficient crops and de creased consumption, a correspondent of the Cin- cinnati Gazette, has a word to say. Admitting that the yield of lcvlO, in Java and K o, is less by onn . 1 . . f ia,Q ' 800,000 bags than was that of lo-lo, he reasons lhat o0o3000 bags of this deficiency will probably be made up fiom portions of the old crop held over in the shell in consequence of the low prices of l8l3 a" tlJal th.e diminished consumption in Eu- I prices of 1319-50, will be equal to 400,000 bags, which two items will reduce the . deficiency of last year's crop, in effect, to 200,000 bags. The Gazette adds : 44 In the country, we understand, the usual sub stitutes for coffee, when prices are high, have I been extensively resorted to; viz : rye, corn, bar- ley, potatoes, ana sassairas. in mis city, at most of the retail groceries in the outer pait of the town, burnt rye and corn are now regular articles of sale.; and a mixture of about equal parts of coffee, corn and rye, carefully burnt, i3 exposed at some of the laige groceries in the central parts of the city, and sells at something less than one half the price of coffee alone. This last preparation, we are told, is not at all unpalatable." Singular Circumstance Cotishins i?j a ffutslieli. A youllE roan nfimed Henry Perrine, son of Nnoch Perrine, residing one and a half miles from Half Acre Middlesex county, about a year ago, swallowed a nut-shell, which lodged in his wind j n . . . . . j)jpe an(j aj eflorts l0 exmcate lt prored !n vain. Since then it has gradually worked down and set- tied on his right lung, and although the best med ical advice was consulted, he obtained no relief, and was finally given up to die. A few days since, while in a fit of coughing, the sufferer threw the j shell up, much to the astonishment, yet gratifica J tjon of his friends. It is now thought he will re- cover his usual health. Highlstown Record. A. Singular Case. A somewhat singular case has just been tried before the circuit court of Or ange county. It appears that sometime ago the wife of Mr. Ebenezer Seeley got a divorce from the husband, succeeded in setting aside the di vorce on the ground of imformality. or want of jurisdiction in the power that granted it, and then sued the second husband for improper intercourse j with his wife. The jury gave a verdict of $1100 ! damages in favor of the plaintiff. Poughkccpsic Journal. Growing: Potatoes. ' As ' Spring-time of year is coming,' a corres pondent very seasonably sends us the following seasonable account of a method whereby (he says) people havinor very little ground, some leisure, and no fear of a little work occasionally, may grow a very decent bin of Potatoes for next Fall and Winter: Yqu procure a cask or sugar hogshead with both heads taken out ; and place it over some soil pre- pared in the usual way. You then plant six or more of your "seed potatoes, place the cask over ulRm' 's eann as usual, ana I earth them up well when the vine is of the usual height for hoeing; you keep earthing till a month or so before digging,. The vines will grow in some instances six feet, and at every joint there will be a crop of potatoes, so that in some cases ten-times the usual crop will be procured with less land being occupied. I am informed that it has been tried in Ireland with considerable success, and for my own part think it feasible, and would try it if I were a far mer or had ground fit. Yours, M. O. Debt of Taxas. The report of the Auditor and Comptroller of Stale, recently made to the Legislature of Texas, now in session, gives a full and derailed description of the character and valuo of tho outstanding liabilisies of tho late republic of Texas, from which it appears that ihe ostensible dubt; including interest is $11,055,604 71, and the par value of the same $5,600,696.

Good Netvs from the Seminole Indians. We are enabled to communicate to our readers highly grat ifying intelligence from the Florida peninsula. When we assure them that it is entirely reliable, we know that they will feel the same pleasure in reading which we do in publishing it. The Council at Choko Nikla, on the 21st ultimo, was attended by Billy Bowlegs and eight or nine sub-chiefs of the different tribes. The result of the conference was highly satisfactory. They all consented to leave the country as soon as they can collect their people, on the terms offered by the Government. Bowlegs left the council for the purpose of collecting his tribe; and there were to be about thirty warriors, with a corresponding pro portion of women and children of the Tallahassee and Micasukie tribes, at Fort Meade, on Pease Creek, about the 7th of this month. It is believed that the Indians will all be out of the country by the last of May. . The following are the terms upon which the In dians consent to emigrate: Each warrior is to re ceive (before he goes on board the boat) $500, each woman $100, each child $100. Bowlegs himself will receive about $10,000, and two or three sub-chiefs about $5,000 eacfi. They are to be provided with rations for one year after their arrival in Arkansas, and to be guarantied in the possession of their negroes. It is estimated that the whole cost of the removal will be about $225, 000. The latest Intelligence from Hungary. By private accounts from an Hungarian source, which we have received, we learn that the follow ing are the latest acts of the Austrian government to the country and people now lying prostrate at her feet : An order has been issued, intended, no doubt, to reach tho Hungarian exiles in America, to the following effect : All officers of tho late Hungarian army are commanded to present themselves to the Austrian army, to be enrolled as common soldiers, other wise they will be considered and treated as de serters. All individuals charged with political criminal offences, whose names have been pub lished in the Vienna Zeitung, are judicially com manded and required to present themselves and make their defence before the proper tribunal, within three month's time. Among these persons are : Kossuth, ex-Psesi-dent, and Minister Szemere, ex-Ministers Casimir, Bathyany, Bischof, Howarth, Yukovies, Eugene Beothi, and Ladislaus Madarasz, the two latter the most distinguished republicans and orators of the late Hungarian House of Representatives ; the others all of them active agents in the late at tempted revolution. Our correspondent inquires: "Who would be so senseless as to present themselves before their slaughter benches He adds : a sullen stillness reigns over the country, which it is to be hoped is the precursor of a storro. Ninety-five Colonels of the Hungarian army have been lately condemned to eighteen years' impiisonment in irons, and a great number of Majors to twelve years' confine ment. Indiana and the Union.

From Washington. Admission of California Clay's Compromise Resolutions His Speech The Cabinet and the Nic'arauga question Webster and Ste vens Executive A ppotntments Bradbury's Resolutions The Post Office Department Col. Warren. ' " Washington, Feb. 20, 1850: The question of admitting California is now a direct issue in both houses of Congress. On Monday last, the House was in session from 12 to 1 o'clock, midnight. The Southern members are resolved to ward off the question, and hence consume the time of the House in taking the ayes and nays, in calling divisions, &c, and moving anjournments ! They seem to think that nothing can be accomplished for the security of the South, if California is admitted into the Union before the Wilmot proviso shall have been killed, inasmuch as she would increase the representation of the free States two votes on each floor of Congress. Under these circumstances, it is likely that much more mischief and tom-foolery is yet to ensue be fore the vexed question can be settled. I stated in one of my previous letters, that the principles of Mr. Clay's Compromise Resolutions would nally prevail. At first there was scarce ly a man who approved them certainly none from the South. But within a few days pasta marked change has occurred people of all par ties, in all sections, are warmly sustaining the old patriot, and Benton, Houston, and other eminent statesmen of the South, are one by one, coming to his aid. Mr. Clay, unlike other eminent states men, boldly strikes the ase into to the roots of the evil and every body trembles lest he fail 1 He resolutely penetrates the mist and fog that sur round the ship of State, and while he seems bur ied in ruin, emerges, with every sail set and the stars and stripes proudly floating in the breese, into the clear sunshine of prosperity ! I don't be lieve there is another individual in this broad Union who could have united as united they will be the discordant elements of our unhappy posi tion, besides Mr. Clay ! Look at him ! Look at him, when charged by Mr. Foote with abandoning his allegiance to the South, he replied with the dignity and mien of a patriarch : " I know who sent me here ! I know my duty and need not be reminded of it! I owe allegiance to no South no North no East no West ! I owe allegiance to two Sovereignties the Union and the State of Kentucky ! Two hundred reams of paper have already been consumed in the publication of his speech at the Globe office, and such is the demand of the peo ple for it, that that establishment still finds itself unable to supply it. Other establishments, here and in New York, have commenced its publica tion as a matter of pecuniary profit, and steam presses are puffing, rattling, and snorting night and day, to lay It before the eyes of every citizen in the land. Rumors were set afloat, a. few days ago, that a rupture had occurred in the Cabinet, in reference to tho settlement of the Nicaraguan question. Mr. Clayton, it appears, had drawn up the projet of a Treaty, but inasmuch as the British Minis ter had no orders or authority to negotiate, the paper of Mr. C. was deemed premature and un safe. The Cabinet did not wish to propose terms until arrangements should be completed by the other party to entertain them. What gives inter est to this Nicaraguan question is, that an account of our valuable possessions on the Pacific coastr and the immense trade springing therefrom, it is very important to connect the two oceans, by means of Railways or Ship Canals, over the coun try known as Central America, which separates them. Certain stipulations have already been en tered into by our Minister, in that country, with certain of its constituted authorities, for improve ments to accommodate our commercial interests ; but Great Britain pretends to have claims upon portions of the Territory, especially that under the authority of the King of Musquito, which includes the portion extending along the Coast, and hence the proposed negotiations. Mr. Clayton, it is said, tendered resignation but, however true this may be, it is certain that he is still Minister of State. It is expected that the Hon. Daniel Webster, of the Senate, and the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, of tho House, will speak upon the Slavery ques tion before their respective bodies, in a few days. Mr. Stevens is known hare, by every body, as a gentleman of extraordinary intellectual powers, and there is great curiosity felt to hear him. It was somewhat amusing, when he first appeared in the hall of the House, to observe with what minuteness certain Southern, gentlemen regarded him. When he entered up in the aisle, as he fre quently does, people would point to him and whis per, and every now and then some one would pass him with significant glances at his massive head, his fiery eye, and general carriage, bold, dignified, and lion-like! Mr. Stevens' health had, for some time back been much impaired ; but he is strong now, and it will not be long before he will make some of the animals m the menagerie roar I It is generally conceded that no further Ex ecutive appointments will be made, nor any con firmed by tne Senate (ol those already made,) until the resolution of inquiry of Mr. Bradbury, Sena tor from Maino, shall have been answered. This resolution involves this simple question : Has the administration or has it not removed men from office on political grounds 1 As soon as this ques tion is answered, the Senate will adopt some specific rulo to govern its action jn the premises. If any one supposes that Gen. Taylor will escape the factious opposition of the Locofocos, by pur suing a milk-and-water course between the two great parties, or between all parties, he supposes, simply, a great absurdity. The Locofoco paHy proper, resolved, from tho first, to oppose him to tho "bitter end," and they are doing it now. While the brave and honest old man is being stabbed, persecuted and insulted in the Capitol, he is feed ing hundreds of his enemihs with high-salariedtof-fices, in the several Departments of the Govern ment! Whigs, who for 20 years past have been spending their time and money, and talents, to car ry out principles which they consider of vital im portance to tho country, and who have always been excluded from places of trust and profit under tho General Government, are again thrust aside, with almost contemptuous reserve, there, are places for Locofocos, but none for Whigs ! There seems to bo an impression abroad that the offices' are nearly equally dividod between the two parties ; but it is a mistake.
