Faust KANSAL—The New York papers have voluminous correspondence from Kansas, to to the 4th inst. No attack had been made up on Lawrence, but the czeitetnent among the people was on the inurense. Ono of our cor respondents says the invader's camp contains nearly n thousand armed men, who are loud in their threats against the "Abolition City,', as Lawrence is called. The citizens of Law. retie° have been making no great preparations to meet the mob, whose blustering indeed, they trent with proper contempt. They are simply' on the defensive, and herein will resist to death. The Missourians, it seems, have despatched their ultiinolunt, but, with all their fierce dis play of power and pretentions, they will never be able to bully the Free-State men of Kansas into submission. A public meeting has been held in Lawrence, at which the representation•, and encores made by Governor SHANNON for calling out the militia, were declared to be wholv false.

To cap the climax, he wrote to his "angel" re questing her to have .his remains, [we quote from the letter 4,4011;] placed beneath the old elm tree," which appears to have been the "trysting tree."

It has been the custom of our P.enweratic friends, when they were in powe r , to utter every now and then a trium. t;. l oant blast of the trtnopct in praise of the Ex ecutive or Sate Trcasurer,—attributing to the unparalleled exertions of these °dicers whatev er indication of prosperity might be exhibited by the annual examination of the Treasury.— We do not desire to imitate them in this res• poet, but only to call attention to the fact that all the giants did not die out with the last Dem. ocratic Administration, and that there are still a few left who have some financial ability, and are competent to take care of the pecuniary interest; of the Commonwealth.

In view of all the facts, we may hope that this is but the dawn of that bright er day in Pennsylvania for which her citizens have been so long and so eagerly looking. ALLEGED 11.01111 CRY or TIM AnsEntL.—On 'Thursday last Anthony E. Draue, keeper of the State Arsenal, at Harrisburg, was arrested by officer Young on a warrant charging him with taking state arms front the Arsenal, with. out authority, with a view of disposing of the same—in short with larceny. After a hearing before Justices Snyder hu was committed in drfault of bail which we understood was fixed at t:' , 2590. It is rumored here that Mr. Aaron Coburn, member elect to the Legislature from Philadelphia city, has also been arrested as a participant in the same transaction and held to bail in S5OOO. The authorities at Harrisburg supposing the missing arms (six boxes) were in Philadelphia, despatched a messenger, who made affidavit before the Mayor of the larceny., l'pon this infcrination, craters Clark nod Levy made in. quiry nt every place where it Was thought the missing property might be concealed, and fin ding none there discovered that the arms had been and to Now York. They repaired thither and found the six boxes and their contents at an establishment in Broadway, the proprietor of which it is alleged had an interview with Mr. C., who informed the keeper or superintew dent of the Arsenal, as condemned arms. Un der the impressiun that he had done nothing hut what was perfectly fair and legal 'in the matter, Mr Coburn waited en Mayor Conrad awl altered himself to the authorities to wait any investigation of the MSC.

In Russia, the °Gets of the war li;fe driven the Bank of ! t , so to a suspension of specie payments, and raised the inestiion 611 Silver fifteen Inv cent. You hare, oC were, heard the result of the Baker trial—the reneagreetnent of the jury. I don't think Baker ought' to be convicted of 'murder. Two years unprisennient would be punishment enough fur hint. Probably you, whose opinion is based upon the published evi. deuce, think differently. But every newspaper man who has been a reporter, and been obliged, in the performance of his duties, to "travel" occasionally, knows well that there was not an essential witness, either for the prosecution or the defence, who would not perjure himself tut. hesitatingly, if he could make anything by it, or in the service of his clique. '1 witnesses on either side dared not give their testimony against their own party. Sensible persons, here, look upon what is culled the 'Toole Man der" merely as u brawl between two rival cliques of blackguards, who have gone about for years armed to the teeth, who have been biting, gouging, cutting and shooting peacriable citizens at printery elections ) and who, during the intervals between these, have amused them selves, [tad kept their hands in practice, by ex perimenting on each other. Timid conservatives are continually ascrib ing the misgovernment of the city to the tact that there are so many (diced to which the is• zumheuts are elee'ind instead of being appoin ted. 'don't aoee with theta, and in the mean time I give them the following nut to crack. "Jim Irvin," I:ne most wealthy of the black guards uniter indictment for the murder of Toole, tins received the appoinfitemt of twee tor of Public Buildings, itt a salary of $2,500 a yr-Iw, Puole, on his doubt-bed, said that he did not blame Baker as much as Morrissey and Irvin. Irvin is not a first class sporting-man, but u vulgar, obscene, sweat-cloth gambler, who talks hers° and faro, and cannot speak on any subject without illustrating his ideas on it by gambling and horse-racing phrases. That man couldn't have been elected to any office in New York. Balton, also, was appointed a po liceman. There hos been some little newspaper-bicker ing hero, between Mr. Silas C. Herring, the world•renowned sate.maunfiteturer, and another gentleman also engaged in that business, but who does not, it would seem, meet with much success. When the Croton Mills were consu med by tire, all the books and papers of the establishment were preserved ; and shortly af er it was advertised thatthe instrument of their preservation was one ofA de. ;dal of that assertion was published by Mr. Herring, accompanied by a certificate from the proprietors of the Croton Mills, to the effect that their We was one of Herring's make, with the ranker's name on it, and that they 'rover had used, nor would use, any other. The re sult is that Herring nod his safes stand higher thou ever in public cistimation, and his oppo nent aiwg or two or lower. The fact of the tnatter is, that Mr. Herring stands unrivalled in the world as a manutitetarer of safes. There. are, doubtless, other good manufacturers ; but it will be long beibro the public will :withdraw their confidence from their old favorite, who has been the means of saving more money from the flames, and more businesses from entire ru in, than perhaps any other man is the world. New paners are being started so fast, that it is labor enough for a man to look at their head ' lugs. It would amount to alipginess to exam ine them. It may be safely said, however, that they will all fail, if not backed by an enortnous amount of capital. It takes ten times as touch money. to establish a paper in .New York as would !Awe been necessary ten years ngo.— ..„ Then, there was a fair chance fora pa3ing cur culatioa and advertising patronage for a week. ly paper of moderate size, at two dollars a year.

The President's message certainly has a chance of becoming well seasoned. The Senate is almost as badly off as the House of Representatives.
