Some time since a letter was addressed to Senator CLAYTON, of Delaware, on behalf of some gentlemen of Philndel ph in, who are "deep ly impressed with the importance of having all the offices under the General and State Gov ernment filled with able and intelligent men free from the prejudice and ignorance of our institutions, which foreign birth, education, and influence is so apt to produce." These gentle- men feeling a high respect for Mr. CLAYTON'S personal character, and admiring the ability displayed by him in conducting the affairs of the nation, whilst filling a station but little in- ferior in responsibility to that of the President of the United States himself, are encouraged to hope, from some of his late speeches and votes, in the Senate of the United Stated, that he co incided with them in sentiment, and would en deavor to carry out their views by consenting to be their candidate for the highest office within their gift, requesting him to state whether, if elected, he would pledge himself to exclude from all civil offices persons who do not possess the requisite constitutional qualifications for filling the offices of President and Vice Presi dent of the United States; except, in the case of foreign diplomatic or commercial agencies, or otherwise, where the services of persons pos sessing the above mentioned qualifications can not be commanded, without detriment to the public interest." Mr. CLAYTON prefixes his re ply, by stating that he never will ben candidate for the Presidency, and answers the questions propounded in the following letter: WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, 1854. D. RODNEY KING, Esq.—My lleac , Sir—Pro tracted and severe sickness since the receipt of your letter of the 9d ult., has prevented me from keeping up my correspondence. But for this, Y' . . .. . . . iur letter would have received an immediate answer. Let me begin then by replying to your principle question. I respond to that by declaring frankly, that I never was, am not now, and never shall be, a candidate for the Presi- deney. I have seen enough of it to form a de cided opinion, that for me, there is no position in this country less desirable. I shall be con tent with the seat in the Senate of the United States, which the kind partiality of friends in my native State has assigned to me. Indeed, I would not exchange it for any under the gov ernment. The year 185 G must decide a momentous is. sue in this country. Are the American people preparet; to Awe with Miens the right of &veining this nati o n, at Lilo liallut.box, — as SOW as those aliens can make a declaration of intention'? They may, and often do, 'mike such a declaration, within a week, or even a day of ter landing on our soil. Again, are the Amer ican people prepared to share, with aliens, eve ry blessing and benefit conferred upon them as American citizens, and even to give them a share of the public domain? By the Nebraska bill, Congress has conferred upon them the right of voting, and by the homestead bill which is still pending, and to be decided upon next winter, they are to have an equal share of the polio domain, on the same terms, with native had naturalized citizens. Again, the Ameri can people must decide whether, other circa. stances being equal, the native citizen is or is not fairly entitled to a preference in the distri bution of honors and ounces in the country which gave them birth. The state of my health will not permit me to discuss these questions in a letter. Our oats. ralization laws are unquestionably defective, or our alms-houses would not now be tilled with paupers. Of the 134,000 paupers in the Uni ted States, 60,000 are foreigners and GG,OOO na tives. The annals of crime have swelled as the jails of Europe have poured their contents into the country, and the felon convict, reeking from a murder to Europe, or who has had the torture to escape punishment for any other crime abroad easily gains naturalization here, by, spendeng a part of five years within the limits of the United States. Our country has become a Botany Bay, into which Europe annually die charges her criminals of every discription. I have no prejudices against the honest for eigners who come here to seek an asylum from the tyranny of rulers abroad. All my sympa thies are with them, and when they become nat uralized I will defend them, as American citi zens, in all their rights, as fully as those born on the soil. I would inculcate and practice re ligious toleration, in its broadest sense, but I would see to it that no man of any sect, whose creed teaches them to deny religious toleration to me and my countrymen, should ever hold of flee here, or power or any kind to persecute us fur our religious opinions. No inan who ac knowledges allegiance to any foreign potentate or power, or who holds himself under obliga tions to obey the edicts of any such potentate or power, shall be by my vote placed in any post or otfice under the American government. would defend the rights of men of all religions to the full extents to which those rights are guaranteed by the American Constitution.— But while I would adviseevery American citi zen to defend the religious rights of all others, even at the hazard of his life, I would at the same time advise him to peril his life not less freely in defence of his own. I - do not undertake to enter into the subject how far foreigners, who are not naturalized in this country, should be permitted to hold office. You will find that you can lay down no gener al rule upon this subject, to which there will not necessarily be exceptions. It is sufficient for my purpose, standing, as I do, without the power, to confer office upon others, to say, that in my judgment, a native American citizen, un der equal circumstances of qualifications and merit is, better entitled to the honors and offices of the country than a foreigner, whether natu ralized or not. And now, seeking no office from you or yonr friends or any body else, I have the honor to subscribe myself, Very sincerely and respectfully. • Your friend, JOHN M. CLAYTON. a Rodney King, Esq:, Philad'a. Baltimore City Election. The election for Mayor and City Council tools place on Wensday.

The general election in California took place on the 6th of September, and resulted in the success of Messrs. Denver and Herbert anti- Broderick Democrats, fur Congress. As to the Legislature, the result, as fitr as heard from, has been that seven Whig Sena tors and.twentpsix Democrats have been elect ed, and in the House thirty-five Whigs and for ty.five Democrats. It is, however, doubtful whether the Democrats can unite upon a can didate for Wilted States Senator. In San Francisco, the Know Nothings car ried 'everything before them, and elected their candidate for Muyos S. P. Webb,formerly May or of Salem. Mass., by over 500 plurality. Ott the ticket elected were twenty-seven names of Know-Nothings, twenty being nomi nees of the Whig and anti Broderick conceit, tions, and seven were nominations made by the Know Nothings only. Every man was elected, some having 4000 majority. The Know Nothing vote is about 350 out of 11,000 in the whole city. The new Common Council is composed of 12 Whigs and 4 Democrats. The news from the mines continues to be fa vorable, and the Southern miners are especial ly more successful then ever. The overland emigrants arc arriving, but not so numerously us in homer years.

The San Francisco markets ~ for the two pre vious weeks show a marked improvement on previous rates, with a fair business. The de mand was quite active for all the leading sta ples, and especially for provisions. Fresh goods were much sought, but for old goods there was no inquiry. DISTRESSING NEWS. Terrible Collision between Two Ocean Steamships, and Total Ltiss of the Arctic. Between three and four hundred Souls Perish ed. Only thirt y.tmo Lives known to be saved. The steamship'Aretic with 226 passengers, exclusive of children, 175 employers, a valua ble cargo and heavy mail, is lost. Of the more than four hundred souls who left Liverpool on the 20th ult., full of hope, gaitey and health, many returning from an European tour of pleasure, only thirty-two are known to have been saved, and certainly not more than one hundred can, by any possibility, have escaped , a watery grave. In addition to all this, another large steam er, freighted with hundreds of human beings, has, in all probability, met alike fate. The de tails of the horrible disaster are as follows: On Wednesday, Sptember 27, precisely at 12 o'clock 111., in a dense fog we came in con tact with a barque-rigged iron propeller, with black hull, salmon colored butters, lead color ed poop and boats, and black pipe. Sho was bound eastward', and had all sails set, with a strong fair wind. The speed of the Arctic at the time was about thirteen knots an hour.— The shock to us appeared slight, but the dam age to the other vessel was frightful. Capt. Luce instantly ordered the quarter boats clear ed away, and the chief mote, boatswain and three sailors went to her relief; before other boats left, the order woo countermanded; The Arctic then described a circle twice round the wreck, during which tune I caught a glimpse of more than two hundred people clustered on her hurricane deck. At-this juncture it was first ascertained that we had sustained injury, and the water was pour ing in at our bows. When the first officer came alongside to report, the captain was unable to take him up, but headed N. N. W. in the hope of makig land. Our position on the previous day, at 12 o'clock, was latitude 48 30, longitude 45 27. We had run aho,t, three hundred and ton miles front the tiin., or this observation un til moment of eoliii.;im, and were supposed to be forty miles from Ca p, rittCO. The pumps were vigorously worked, and an anchor chain thrown overboard but in spite of all exertion, the eiigines stopped, and the water extinguish ed the tires. Four of the five other life boats, believed to have been well provisioned, con taining the engineers, sailors, and a few pass engers, •and all the officers except the captain and third mate, left the ship at au early stage. The majority of the pn,:enget were working nt the pimps—some firing the signal guns, Rini others launching spars, under the direction of Captain Love and Mr. Dorian, the third mate, to form a raft. In order to facilitate this h.tter work the sixth and lost boat was lowered. Dorian, one or two firemen, three of the other passengers saved, and myself, were engaged lashing wntercasks and settees to tic main yard, two topgallant yards, nod several smaller spars— the Captain, with n number of gentlemen, pro. tecting the work by keeping hack the crowd— when a panic seized all on board, a rush was made, passengers and firemen precipitated themselves headlong over the bulwarks on to the raft, and in n moment our little boat was full, and in imminent danger of being sunk.— In this emergency, Dorian ordered the rope which held us to the steamer to be cut, and with our hands and axes we paddled from the side. The mate, who throughout preserved great presence of mind, and labored with hero ic energy, cried out: "For God's sake, Cap tain, clear the raft, so that we can work. I won't desert the ship while there's a timber above water." But the sea was now flush with the deadlights. In less than three initiates from the time he spoke the stern sunk—the foam went boiling over the tumbling heap of human beings— many were dashed forward against the pipe.— near& one wild yell (still ringing in my ears,) and saw the Arctic and the struggling mass rapidly engulphed. Numbers yet clung to the imperfectly constructed raft; but, alas, we could render them no aid. Our own situation was no less precarious; and cruel as it seemed, we were forced to abandon them to fate.— Heaven forbid that I should ever witness such riother scene. We however, picked up two ,:ore men, and then, with an overloaded boat ithout oars, thelopins, food or drink, avoiding with difficulty the fragments of the wreck, and passing many * dead females, prepared for a night upon the ocean. We secured a floating pumpkin and cabbage, to guard against imme diate starvation,, lashed a spar to the bow of our boat to. keep her head to the wind and sea, and thus drifted until daylight. The night was cold and foggy, with a heavy swell, and, in a cramped, drenced, and half naked condi tion, we suffered terribly. Without dwelling upon our miseries, allevia ted touch by the consciousness that we had endeavored to do our duty to our fellow men, suffice it to any that at five o'clock on the after noon of the 28th we espied a sail, and raised a handkerchief to attract attention. We successful. •With the rude substitute for which we had constructed during the day by lashing planks to capstan bars, with a view or attempting to gain land when the sett subsided, we pulled to wards the ship. On our way we passed the remnant of the raft, with one man on it, apparently alive. The bark proved to be thelluron, of St. An drews, N. 8., Capt. A. Wall, bound for Quebec. Our men safe on board, the noble hearted Dorian, with some of the Huron's crew, return• ed to the raft and resound the poor fellow who fur twenty-six hours had clung to the spars. lie states that after the steamship sunk, he coasted seventy-two men and four women Mt the raft, but at 8} o'clock he was the only one alive.— In the morning two bodies were besides him, much eaten by fishes, and at the time he saw our boat he was on the point of voluntary drop. ping into the sea to end his agony. Coming from the raft Dorian encountered and exam ined the life ear of the Arctic. It contained a bottle of water, some cheese and a lady's gat , went. By the humane captain of the Huron, and Mr. Wellington Cameron, a son of the owner, we were recieved with great kindness, our wounds dressed, fires kindled, and fund and clothing provided in abnitdatice. During the night of the 28th, Capt. Wall hung out extra lights, fired rockets; and kept a horn blowing, in hopes of fulling in with the remainder of the boats. But his endeavours Were fruitless. On the evening of the 29th he spoke the ship Leh anon, Capt Story, bound for New York, by whom eighteen of our number were taken on, welcomed and well treated. We have this moment reached New York, by pilot boat Christian Berg, No. 16, to which we were trans fered from the Lebanon, and to the crew of which we are under great obligation. The fate of the propeller and our five boats is unknown. If the steamer was, as I have reason to think, the Charity, from Montrtal to Liverpool, she is, I believe built with water tight compartments, or bulkheads, and will float, notwithstanding the damage to her bow. The fact that a boat left her, which was capsi zed by our paddles, augurs ill for her buoyant condition, though Capt. Wall, of the Huron, on the morning of of the 28th saw a singular look. ing craft far to leeward, but was unable to tell whether she was a steamer or sailng vessel. He says she had a nondescript apbearance, and may have been the wreck of the propeller. POSITIVELY THE LAST DAY.—NO POSTPONE :SENT ON ACCOUNT OF TOE WEATIIER.—A Sy racuse paper says that the Millerites have re. cently been holding a series of meetings in that city, and have labored somewhat earnestly to make converts. The day now fixed fur the end of all things earthly, is the 19th of May, 1955. These fixed last days having so often come and gone without the occurenca of any mulled phe. nomena, we hardly think there can he many so unwise as to be disturbed by the prediction.— But the end of delusion is not yet.

Flour. It is a curious fart, perhaps not generally known, that in every hundred pounds of flour, in the ordinary state, there are eleven to thir• teen pounds of water; in other words that (w -eight of every barrel of flour is not flour at all, but the same element that tills from the clouds and runs in the brook. Not a very pleasant ' reflection is it, surely, that when we pay ten dollars fur a barrel of material to work up into •"staves of life," ono dollar and n quarter of that hard-earned amount goes for what could be pro cured, "without money and without price," from the spout of any pump in the street. Ac cording to a table whirl: we find in the nitnar, giving the result of an analysis of flour front different States, it seems that the flour of Med iterranean wheat contains the smallest per rea lm of water. The following is the table re ferred to: Now .1 onsor, .12.75 Now Your,, Genesee wheat, 13.85 Onto, flour from Louisville, 12.85 Ixto.tx.i, flour from Logansport, 12.85 Ir.f.tsots, flour from Oswego, 12.80 Micnto.tx, flour from Bruce Mills, 13.20 MicutuAN, flour from Monroe, 13.10 WISCONSIN, flour made there, 13.80 GonnulA, flour from Floyd county, 11.75 Average 12.81 per cent. The large proportion of water contained in flour will account for the fact that it so soon sours when kept. The 7'rihris, states that it is well ascertained that half of the flour that is not eaten fur six months after it was packed, has commenced the chemical change which precedes entire decay. It is at great risk, then, that dealers keep flour and even wheat long on their hands. IMPRISONMENT OP AMERICANS.—We learn from hits Texas papers that several gentleman arrived at San Antonio on the 4th of last month, who reported that in the prison of the city of Durango, they found three Americans confined in a stone dungeon of the most filthy description. Their names are William Shirley, of Broome co., N. Y., and Win. Rogers, of Stark co., and John Grains, of Dayton, Ohio. They state that for over four years they had seen no face but that of the jailer, and about half of the time had been chained to the floor, in total darkneess; that they were ituprisond on the charge of robery, anti murder, but had never been granted a trial; and 'that although they had repeatedly written to the U. S. Minister at Mexico, they believe he had never recieved their letters. ItS..On Tuesday two weeks a party of Gin. donations went to the woods in the neighbor hood - of Hillsborough on a sporting expedition. On Wednesday afternoon, as one of the party, named Joseph Cridlan, was perambulating the woods in search of game, he thought he espied a quail on the ground feeding. He instantly raised his gun, took aim, and 'fired at the ob. jut. Cridlan hurried up to secure his prise. To his astonishment he found that he had shot and instantly killed another of the party named James Glancy, who laid down to rest, having travelled all day. Clancy leaves a with and four children. Cridlan is almost insane in eon• sequence of this unfortunate oceurence. Ze".M. de Balzac was lying awake in bed, when he saw a man enter his room cautiously and attempt to pick the lock of lus desk.
