COAST OF AFRICA STATION. - Our correspondence from the coast states that since the new treaty with Brazil the slave trade has received a great check, and the commerce with Brazil has nearly ceased in consequence of slaves being the only article given in exchange for rum and tobacco. A sad of any nation is now rarely seen. By news from the various slave stations, we hear that they are in the most de plorable condition, in consequence of the strict blockade maintained by the squadron and boatsl The largest dealer in Porto Novo says that if he can dispose of those slaves he has on hand he will abandon the traffic for ever; but his word must not be taken. Flying Fish, 12, Commander Patey, has done the best on the coast. She is a perfect man-of-war, and Captain Patey is one of the best cruisers on the coast. Ia all she has taken nine prizes—the last a full one, off Prince's Island, on Christmas-day. Gladiator, 6, steam-trigate, Captain Adams, was in the Bights of Benin on the 10th of February. She bad captured an empty brigantine on the 18th of January. The Gladiator was to go to the south coast in March, and the Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain L. T. Jones, would relieve her.

One of the most extensive conflegrations that has pro bably ever taken place in Wolverhampten occurred on Wednesday night last, when the steam corn-mill of Messrs. Norton, in Horsley-fields, was entirely destroyed, together with an immense stock of grain, flour, and the whole of the machinery. Some of the men, it appears, were engaged on the premises till nearly twelve o'clock at night, when they left, leaving everything apparently safe. About one o'clock the building was discovered to be on fire, dense volumes of smoke, followed by flames, issuing from the windows, and in a brief space of time the upper portion of the mill, where the fire commented, was enveloped in flames. As soon as the circumstance became kno en, the various fire-engines stationed in the town, four in number, were quickly brought to the spot, and there being an abundant supply of water, owing ,o the mill being situated close by the side of the canal, they were soon brought into action. The head which the fire had gained, however, combined with the height of the building (five stories), presented obstacles that the most energetic and persevering efforts were unable to surmount; and it soon became evident that all attempts to save the mill must prove fruitless, and the effor.s of the firemen were principally directed with a view to pre vent the flames from spreading to the adjoining build ings, which consisted of two sets of store rooms and a residence. In this they were successful, and the fire was confined to the mill. About two o'clock the build ing appeared in the full possession of the devouring element, the whole of the upper story and the roof beirg one mass of fire, the flames ascending much higher than the tall engine chimney adjoining, Illuminating the country for miles. Until four o'clock the fire held un disputed sway, but as the flames gradually descended, the full force of the engines could be then brought to bear upon them, and the fire was gradually but slowly subdued. About six o'clock all danger of its spreading seemed past, although large masses of corn and wheat were still on fire, and on these and the building the engines continued alternately to play till two o'clock on Friday afternoon. The books of the firm, &c., and a portion of the wheat and flour on the premises, were rescued from the flames, but by far the larger portion of the grain was so burnt and saturated as to be valueless. AT a MEETING of Ministers and Gentlemen connected with the Congregational Churches of England and Wales, held at Radley's Hotel, on Friday, May 16, 1851, and numer ously attended, The Rev. JOHN KELLY, of Liverpool, in the Chair, The question of the MAR. rIAGE or a WIDOWER with his DECEASED VI'IFIE'S SISTER having been submitted to the meet- RI, it was (with one dissentient) resolved 1. That such a marriage is not contrary either to the letter or Spirit of the Word of God. 2. That, therefore, neither secular nor ecclesiastical law ought to forbid it. 3. That the present state of the law in this country, in positively Prohibiting the marriage in question, inflicts great suffering and tends to much immorality. 4. That in the case of many pious and intelligent persons, who are persuaded of the Scriptural lawfulness of these marriages, who are members of Churches which do not prohibit it, and who there fore could both conscientiously and consistently contract it, its pro hibition by secular enactment is an infringe•nent of religious liberty. S. That on these and other grounds it is espodient and necessary that the present state of the law on the subje.t in question should hot cont lune- This meeting, therefore, recommends that application should con tinue to bi made to Par lament in favour of the desired change. and Should not cease till such chance be obtained, seeing that an altera tion in the law would be no injury to those who .lo not approve the Marriage, while its continuing as it is is a serious evil to those who do. TO SOAP MANUFACTURERS AND OTHERS. TO be SOLD, by AUCTION, by W. D. PET TINGILL, at the Star Inn, Great Yarmouth, on WEDNESDAY, the 11th June, 1851, at Five for Six o'clock in the Evening Precisely, by order of the Commissioner acting under a petition for adjudicat , on in Bankruptcy, lately filed, and now in prosecution against Messrs, May and Co., Soap MautLacturers, and on the petition of the equit able Mortgagees, Such parts of the excellent waterside PREMISES, used by the Bankrupts as a Soap Manutactory, situate above the Bridge, Groat Yarmouth, as are comprised in a lease thereof fro - n the Charity Trustees to Mr Charles James Metcalfe. for 21 years, from 29th September, 1846, atthe yearly rent of 101. The Property is admirably situated for the above trade, since sea going vessels and inland craft have easy access, and the fixed plant, *which Is of the newest and best description, will be included in the sale. Further ,particulars and conditions of sate, with a ground plan of the estate. may be had ten days prior to the sale of the Auctioneer ; of Mr. William Worship, Solicitor, Great Yarmouth ; and of Messrs. Norris, Allen, and Simpson, -olicit,rs, No. 20, Bedford-row, London, The origin of the fire is unknown. It has been attri buted to the friction of the spiudies of the brushes caus ing the wood iu the immediate neighbourhood to ignite, from whence it spread to the other parts of the building. The premises, it appears, was also lighted with gas, which was carried throughout the building, and had Rot been turned off at the meter when the men left. Owing to this circumstance, the progress of the flames was ma teriellv quickened, for as each gas-pipe became melted or broken, a fresh and continuous supply of combustible matter was afforded. The spot where the gas main entered the building and communicated with the meter was inaccessible owing to the flames, and it was deter mined to cut through the main in the roadway, which was accordingly done; but some time necessarily elapsed before the ground could be excavated, and it was about two hours before the gas was cut off from the building. About half-past ten on Thursday morning the fire amongst the grain, flour, &c., still being very fierce, it was deemed advisable that additional force should be ob tained to extinguish it, fears being entertained that the great weight arising from the successive falling of the various floors would prove too great for the outward walls of the building, and cause their fall. Accordingly W. Rogers, Esq., rode over to Walsall, and obtained the assistance of the Norwich and the Birmingham Fire-office engines, which were rapidly conveyed to the spot, and materially assisted in checking the fire amongst the grain. As soon as it was at all practicable, gangs of men were employed in removing the flour, grain, &c., and great quantities of the semi-burnt grain were shovelled into boats which were brought alongside the building. The wall of the building fronting the canal is in a very dangerous state, being denuded of all support from the interior until the bottom of the erection, and from its extent and height presents a very singular appearance.l Several times apprehensions that it would fall were en tertained, and the parties working the engines momen tarily retreated from their dangerous vicinity. Other portions of the building were propped up with timber, but this coarse could not be adopted towards the canal. With regard to the damage various statements are current, but it is generally thought it will amount to about 20,000/. The building, we learn, bad scarcely ever been so full of grain, containing at least 12,000 bags, which were double stacked in the different stores. During the course of Wednesday, 450 bugs of wheat were delivered at the mill. Messrs. Norton, it is stated, are insured to some ex tent, and the sum of 8,000/. and 13,0001. have both been named as the limit. There is little:doubt, however, that a severe loss must accrue to the firm by the stoppage of much of their business, independent of any absolute loss hy the fire. Many gentlemen of the town were present at the fire, and actively engaged. The police force, under Colon e l Hogg, and a detachment of the 50th Foot, under the command of Lieut , nant Galton, were of essential ser vice, the soldiers helping at the engines, besides keeping the ground so as to prevent the crowd from impeding the working of the engineg. Withcut wishing to impute blame in any quarter, we are only reiterating the almost universally expressed opinion that the existing arrangements of the town are utterly inadequate to meet calamities like the present. The fire-engines aro not sufficiently num( roue or powerful, nor in that efficiency which a town like Wolverbimpton requires. However, the present occur rence will doubtless force the subject upon the public authorities.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Saturday the period fur ss. admissions terminated, and in a manner which reminded one of the last night of a favourite actor. There were thousands assembled at the entrances Wore the doors opened, and when twelve o'clock struck no excited and expectant audience ever rushed into the pit of a theatre with greater eagerness. Each party haetoned off to make sure of the tiret view of come particular object, and in a space o; time which appall-ad incredibly short the galleries and nave were swarming with visitors. During the morning a few ei sitors in Bath-chairs, having a spacial privilege accorded to them on account of their infirmity, were allowed to enter and be wheeled round. Just before twelve they collected in a circle round the " Koh-i-noor," of which they were determined to have the first sight as it emerged from the iron prison which confines it. A little incident like this well illustrates the curiosty which is felt about the far-famed diamond, which is, after all, a great dis eppoiutment in the effect which it predates on almost everybody who sees it. From twelve till four o'clock the influx of people never ceesed for a moment, and some idea of tee vest numbers assembled may be formed from the fact that 5,0781. was taken at the doors. There were thus during the day 20,312 persons who paid the ss. entrance fce, and the number of season-ticket holders could not have been less than 10,000 to 15,000, making altogether from 30,000 to 35,000 visitors. From the habit of crowding into the nave, which is still persevered in, that part of the building appeared well filled on Saturday, more so, indeed, than we have yet seen it, but the interior had ample accom modation for thousands of people, and there were one or two parts that remained almost deserted. We would suggest that all the seats in the centre aisle, or, at least, &considerable portion of them, should at, once 'be re- moved into the less attractive parts of the collection, and that those who want to rest should do so in the departments dedicated to raw produce, where their fatigue can be turned to sufficiently profitable account without being a source of obstruction. On Saturday the police were, for the first time, active in guidin g the streams of visitors flowing i n diff eren t directions. Their arrangements answered well upon the whole, and if at tended with some inconvenience, they are likely to have one excellent effect in putting an end to mere idle saun tering. A large party from the University of Oxford visited the Exhibition on Saturday, and in accordance with the announcement on that subject made by us some days ago, took a systematic survey of the interior. Pro fessors Cowper and Ansted are successfully pursuing the course of lectures and practical illustration which they nave undertaken, and their example is likely soon to be followed by other men of high scientific attainments. Were their hours not quite so early as at present, a ;rest benefit would be conferred, for there are many people who would gladly attend their classes if doing so fid not require such a sacrifice of morning slumbers. In connexion with the Exhibition we have several times drawn attention to the model house for the labour ing classes erected by his Royal Highness Prince Albert at the Cavalry Barracks, Hyde-park. The subject is one of great importance, and a visit to the building, which is now completed, will be found very instructive. For some time past a lively interest has been taken in this matter by the most philanthropic men of the age, ,or both in teen amid country the sanitary deft cts of the dwellings of the poor were felt to be a reproach upon our civilization. There were obstacles, however, in the way which it was found extremely difficult to over come. In the first place, the question of expense pre sented itself. Cottages were erected very pretty to look at, and a vast improvement in their internal arrangement on the old forms of dwellings in use, but when they were completed it was found that the cost, as compared with the ordinary rate of wages, precluded the idea of their extensive adoption, and that as trade speculations they would not answer. Considerate landlords have ne vertheless provided, in many instances, convenient and comfortable accommodation for their workpeople, ac tuated by a laudable desire to see them comfortable; and the Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes has erected model lodging-houses in different parts ef.the metropolis, which, being constructed on a large scale, have returned a fair profit on the money invested in them. So far success had been achieved, but it was necessary to carry the experiments made much further before any permanent or extensive effect could be produced in the objects contemplated. It was requisite to show that at a cost, if not smaller, cer tainly not larger than that at present incurred for building the very inadequate houses which workmen and their families inhabit, houses could be erected giving them the benefit of sanitary arrangements, and pro viding for their increased comfort, cleanliness, and do mestic decency. The rate of wages in this country, whether in the rural or town districts, leaves but a mall margin over, after the purchase of food and clothing, for rent and the other expenses attached to it. This aet.s limits to the outlay in building labourers' tenements which cannot be transgressed, and the eon -sequence has hitherto been that they have been com pelled to live in abodes totally unfit for human habita tion, and which have led to an immense amount of pre ventible mortality among them. Damp walls and floors did one part of the work of destruction, and overcrowded rooms, where cleanliness, decency, and comfort were im posible, the rest. At this stage in the sanitary movement it is superfluous to say more on these subjects, as their evil influences are admitted on all hands. The question remained bow were they to be dealt with, how was the working man to be provided with a suitable home at a rent which his wages permitted him to pay? It was found that the inferior bricks of which his humble tene ment was constructed held water like a sponge, nod that from one of them as much as a pint of moisture could be extracted. He and his family, therfore, were con stantly undergoing, night and day, a species of hydro pathio treatment which doomed them to inhale damp air, wear damp clothes, sleep in damp beds, and suffer all the complicated miseries which arise from walls stream ing with water, and absorbing the rain from without, and the heat of the fire from within. That was one great difficulty to be overcome, and it has been accomplished in a very successful and ingenious manner. The bricks used in the construction of the Prince's model houses aro hollow, whereby their strength is pre. served, at the same time that the necessity for lath and plaster is removed, and perfect dryness secured. Their form renders them applicable not only for side and par tition walls, but for floors and roofing, and by glazing their surfaces the most ample facilities are given for cleanliness. Each room can be washed out as thoroughly when thus constructed as an earthenware dish, and fuel is not uselessly expended in warming a solid mass of material saturated with moisture. By this species of wall ventilation, which, singularly enough, appears to have been practised among the ancient Romans, the close fetid smell so offensively present in apartments that have been overcrowded for some time after they are vacated, is entirely got rid of. Other advantages also present themselves, for buildings thus constructed obviously be come fireproof, and hollow bricks are found to be excel lent non-conductors of sound. In small confined tene ments there is no greater source of discomfort than that which arises from the manner in which the slightest noise penetrates through partitions and floorings, and a simple inexpensive arrangement,which protects the quiet and privacy of the poor man's family, is a boon of immense value to him. The use of hollow bricks is thus recommended by a variety of considerations, but the chief benefit which it confers remains to be stated. By it a saving of at least one-third is effected in the expense of ordinary construction, and quite as much in fuel and annual repairs and insurance. We shall revert to this point again, and in the meantime proceed to other mat ters worthy of special notice in the arrangements of the model houses. One peculiarity which strikes the visitor is the avoidance of expensive woodwork and the em ployment of few and cheap materials to do all that is re quired. The plasterer and tbo carpenter are almost entirely dispensed with, and mineral manufactures, in one shape or other, are resorted to. Everything is of durable material, and little liable to go out of repair. There are some obvious improvements which might be made in the construction, and some economies that might be effected, for the building is, of course, ex perimental in its character, and does not claim per fection, being undertaken by his Royal Highness principally to stimulate the efforts of those whose position and circumstances enable them to carry out similar undertakings. Viewing it as a whole, however, the visitor will not fail to observe that it is a good working model, not a mere prettiness expensively got up and inapplicable to practice, but a sincere, honest, and sensible attempt to supply a design for the style of architecture suitable to the labouring classes and within their means to command and pay for. It is adapted for the occupation of four families of the class of manufacturing or mechanical operatives re siding in town or near it. Each tenement is arranged on precisely the same plan, having a well-lighted lobe or porch, a living room, a scullery, a waterclo set,anyd three sleeping apartments, all simply but effectually pro vided with convenient fittings for The separation of the sexes an d o f domestic comfort. sinks,safes, parent and child is complete. Closets, dust-bi ns are included in the plan. The ntil shelves, &c., water ventilation is carefully sttonded to, and, above a ll, t h e lected. Some varieti es ex i st in the manner supply is f fin no i t sfi nFge in the different rooms, and t h e public will fo o forth a better g conception of the care with which the whole has been got up when we mention that nearly a dozen well known manufacturers and makers have been laid under contribution for suitable materials. Thus Clayton's tile machine turns out the hollow bricks. Ridgeway sup plies the earthenware, and the whole has been under the direction of Mr. Roberts, honorary architect to the Society for Improving the Condition of the Labour ing Classes. We come now to the questions of ex pense and profit—from rent, upon which of course the success of the e x p e riment turns. The calcula tion on this subject is that a building of the kind can be erected for 4001., or about 1001. for each tenement, and that a payment of is. per week for each room, or about 3s. by each family. would p a y 7 per cent, and cover all contingencies. Now, any one who in knows_ what th e house-rent of the labouring classes London is must regard this as a very successful resn_ are paid fo r singlelt. In chur c h-l ane, St. Giles's, 3a, 4 5.. and ss. per week rooms of the same size, and in these abodes of vice and misery malignant fevers, and every form of epidemic disease, are constantly at work, doing frightful havoc. Let any . one who wishes to understand, in its true significance, the importance of that movement for improving the con dition of the labouring classes over which Prince Albert so appropriately presides, after paying a visit to the model EXAMPLES OF BONUSEi' ALREADY DECLARED.

EQUITARLE FERE OFFICE. Capital-50ii,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and S Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this °dice ar3 —Moderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits. i fie viifficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion "minium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been round by experience. that the total annual losses of the lifierent Established Companias have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It Is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer 's largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careflil combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will bs proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to' all classes of Insurers whose Policies have teen in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Prooerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

TEDDINGTON, the Winner of the DERBY. The morning was lovely, the course was well crowded, Though Phcebus was sometimes a little bit clouded, When thirty-three starters set off for the race, And we breathless poked out to see which had a place. But soon there was shouting, the race it was done, The field was well beaten, the favourite won ; They may call it good jockeyship, mettle, or luck, But the Teddington horse beat the Marlborough Buck. The Derby is always the day to be dressed ln the height of the fashion—in clothes of the best ; And for years have the principal leaders of ton Sported clothing they had of E.

The adjourned inquest was held on Friday, before Mr. Rutter, coroner, at the Greyho un d l an , B e df or d, but, as will b e seen by the subjoined evidence, no further facts have as yet been obtained to bring the offence home to the reel perpetrators. John Green, being sworn, said—l reside at Astley, and keep a beershop. I was going up the lane last Wednesday night but one, with Thomas Collier, about a quarter-past ten o'clock. I was smoking my pipe when we met the deceased, George Green. I have often traded with him. I turned back with him to see if I could have a bit of trade with him. As we came up the road I went into Mr. Darlington's saw-yard, and he (the deceased) went to the house to get a gill of beer. I came afterwards to the canal bridge with him, with some chips in my hand. I told hi m I would sell him some manure, and allow him 3d. a ton if he would give me 7s. a ton for it, and he told me to see him on the following afternoon. I left him at the bridge, and I never saw him after. We had agreed to meet the next day about the manure. When I left him he went straight down the lane, and I could not see which way he went. lie was not drunk, but he had had a few gills. He had two ways to go — either along the canal bank or over the fields. If he had gone over the canal bank he could not have gone near the pit where he was found. I then went home, but afterwards went out again, smoking my pipe, and met John Smith, who lives close to my house. I stopped talking to Smith a quarter of an hour in the lane. When I parted with Smith, I stopped at the end of the house until John Guest, known by the name of " Captain," came up. When I left George Green on the bridge I did not see any one about. The most direct road for the inwhich deceased h to e wgeats iotohuind. his house would have been p as t th e pit This being the only witness able to give any satis factory evidence. it was suggested by Captain Shepherd, superintendent of the county police, that if the inquiry was closed at once, the police would no doubt be ab'e to pursue their investigations with more facility.

The Council tit the Society of Arts on the 14th of May requested the following noblemen and gentlemen to act as a committee for establishing forthwith a certsin number of model warer-cloiets and urinals in public thoroughfares, with the object of proving that these public conveniences. so iccueh wanted. may DO made self supporting:—The Esrl or Carlisle, Esrl Granville, Mr. Henry Cole, Mr. S. M. Pew, .11. P., and Mr. C. Went worth Dilke. The Committee consider that the following regulations sbould be adopted in commencing this experiment:— `' 1. That these conveniences bs established on a mo derate scale, in connexion with shops, in some public thoroughfares, and be called Public Waiting -rooms.' 2. That the public waiting-rooms for men and wo men be established in distinct shops, on opposite sides of the street. "3. That in each shop there ku, a waiting-room, having two classes of wat37-cloY., , ts and urinals. for the use of which a penny and two•pmc . e should b e charged. " 4. Tdat each set of wa.tiog-roota s be provided with a lavatory for washing hands, clothes' brushes, &c., at a charge of twopence and threepence. " 5. That each set of waning -rooms have a enperintea. dent and two attendants. "6. That the charges for the use of the lavatories, water-closets, and urinals should include all attendance, and be publicly affixed in the shop. " 7. That the police should be requested to cause thee* establishments to be visited from time to time. The committee recommend that the Council should 1111+ dertake to lease several ground floors in the Strand„Moi. born, and Cheapside. Mr. Minton having cffned to present 24 earthenware urinals and a number of encaustic tiles for labels, and Mr. Ridgeway having also offered to present some of his new fountain washhand-stands, the committee recom mend that their liberal offers be accepted with thanks. The committee recommend that it be suggested to manufacturers of lavatories, water-closets, and uri nals, who desire to bring their inventions before the public, immediately to present samples for the object in question. The committee recommend that no time should be lost in inviting respectable persons holding shops in public thoroughfares, who may be desirous of connecting the proposed public waiting-rooms with them, to inform the secretary, Mr. G. Grove, of the ac commodation which their premises offer for the purpose. The shops which appear to be most suitable for waiting-rooms for ladi e s are stayinalzers', bonnet makers', milliners', &e. Those most suitable for gentlfmta s waiting-r ooms are hair dressers', tailors', hatters', taverns, All communications should ha addressed to Mr. George Grove, secretary of the Society of Arts, John-street, CITY PETITION in FAVOUR of the JEWS. Mr. Anderton has given notice of his intention to move that the following petition in favour of the admis sion of Jews into Parliament be adopted by the Court of Common Council:— " To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament as sembled, " The humble petition of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London in Common Coun cil assembled, " Sheweth, that your petitioners are anxiously desirous that all her Majesty's subjects shall have secured to them the rights of civil and religious liberty, without which no man can be free. " That whilst her Majesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion are by law capable, being elected to serve as Members of the House of Commons, are yet rendered incapable of taking their seats, by reason of the manner in which they are required to confirm the oath of abju ration—an oath which, in the opinion of your peti tioners, may be altogether dispensed with by reason of the total extinction of the Stuart family, to whom it has reference, and the known attachment of all classes and sects of British subjects to the family and person of our beloved Sovereign. " That it is with satisfaction your petitioners have heard of the introduction into your Honourable House of a Bill to regulate the mode of administering the oath of abjuration to persons professing the Jewish religion, and thereby justly to place them upon an equality with their fellow British subjects. "That such a measure is in strict conformity with the constitution under which we live, and is not in violation thereof, and may, as your petitioners believe, be safely granted without any danger to the best interests of the Christian religion and nation. " Your petitioners humbly entreat your Honourable House to pass the Bill for regulating the mode of mired nist?ring the oath of abjuration to persona professing the Jewish religion into a law; and that they, and ull British born subjects, may be hereafter eligible to be appointed to, and be qualified to hold, any place or office in her Majesty's dominions without being required to take any oath as a test of their religious opinions; and your peti tioners will ever pray. _ INTERVIEW OF INDIANS WITH THE GOVERNOR OF NEW MEXICO. The New York Herald publishes the following corre spondence, dated Santa Fk":, March 31, 1851. " The most interesting piece of news I have to com municate is that a delegation of six chiefs of the Jeca rilla and Moscalero tribes of Apaches arrived in this city on Saturday last, in company with Mr. J. B. Lets, for the purpose of making a standing treaty of peace, and obtaining a donation of public lands for cultivation. The conversation which took place on Saturday after noon between them and Governor Calhoun, at the Pa lace, is worth desribing. On being introduced and in terrogated, the spokesman of the party said— " We aro Apaches of the Jecarillas and Moscaleros. Our chiefs are rulers, as our father is. All our people are south of the Rio Pecos. We come to see our father, to know if he is pleased with us.' " The Governor replied that he was glad to see them; told them not to fear, but speak boldly, and he would send them back safe to their lodges. " We come to talk to our father,' was the reply; have no fear.' " Being interrogated as to the events at Point of Rocks, W aggon M ound, &c., they answere d,' We do not know who killed our father's children, or ran of the mules.'
