See pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Neison, Esq. Ott comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the ing advantages, viz., st. For ale , s sum, paid annually, he can follow- assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2elly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, TIME times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease th p, e amount of his policy, he can eo so at pleasure. He can at any t the im by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After lie has withdrawn part one year he can, 133, a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savinvs by his annual expenditure, with the in bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity,f acility the same the as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that be gets Inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to ly to for aid, all his hard•earned savings become forfeited to s the society, and his misfortunes servo to benefit the pockets of hi 'nor tfortun ate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor la case of death. thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various iorms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruittbl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, LIFE ;CSSURANCE BR ANC II that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been en Te e d in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicategcogm plaints, andi s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree.

One of her hands was clasped and much cut. It was evident she had grasped the knife of the assassin, and had the blade drawn through her fingers. Her death was probably caused by a blow upon the head, inflicted with some heavy instrument. " The other victim was Mrs. Hannah Shaw. She was in her ordinary dress, and lay upon her back in the rear part of the room. This woman had a gash in her right cheek, and a wound in the breast, evidently inflicted with a knife. The carpet where she lay was completely saturated with blood. " The room in which the fearful tragedy had been en acted was comfortably furnished, and the articles in the apartment were not disarranged ; even the carpet upon the floor (which was an ordinary rag-carpet, and laid down in strips) was as smooth as though the murdered women had laid themselves gently down upon it. No thing about the room indicated a serious struggle, except the ghastly remains lying upon the floor. " So far as the circumstances connected with this fearful affair have transpired, it - seems that the house in which the murder was committed is occupied by John Carrol, and that his brother William boards with him. The second storey front room is rented to Bartholomew Lynch and his wife. Mrs. Lynch was confined about two weeks since, and has left her twin girls without a mother. The room in which the foul deed was com mitted is used for Sabbath-school purposes by John Carrol. Mrs. Shaw has been staying with her sister since her confinement, and they have had several quarrels together. Carrol and his wife were also in the habit of - quarrelling. "It seems that Carrol and his wife went to a ball, or to a party of some kind, last evening, and were away all. night ; this morning Mrs. Carrol returned home alone, about half-past seven o'clock, and was the first to discover the dreadful spectacle. The milkman was at the door when she returned, and she called him in to witness the scene. The neighbours were also alarmed. The infant children, so suddenly left without a mother, were found in the second storey front room, crying. "At the time we left the scene, the knife with which it is supposed most of the wounds wore inflicted had not been found. A piece of leaden pipe, about eighteen inches long, much battered, was found. Those who were first upon the ground say there were spots of blood, and some human hair, upon the pipe, when they first saw it. It is probable that the fatal blow was in flicted upon Mrs. Lynch with this weapon. " A candle, partly burnt, was found in the room ; th e wick appeared to have been extinguished purposely. The brass candlestick had blood upon it. "Mrs. Carrol says that when she left home last night a young man named John Ryan was there. Ryan has since been arrested. Mr. and Mrs. Carrol are also in custody.

NEW YORK, MARCH 12. There is a good demand for discounts of business paper at the banks, and, as the latter continue to curtail their lines, borrowers are necessarily driven to seek ac cemmodations in the street, where the rate paid varies from 9 to 15 per cent. according to the signatures. As many of the banks are discounting but about one fourth of their income, there is more surplus capital for street loans, and thus the rate of temporary accommo dation is lower, and the market in this respect somewhat relieved. Considerable excitement was created in the street by the announcement of the failure of the Woodbury Bank, Woodbury, Connecticut ' • and the Eastern Bank, West Killingly, Connecticut. The Metropolitan Bank 'issued a circular in the course of the day, which was sent to all its customers and correspondents, announcing that the bills of these banks would not be received upon deposit. The imports of dry goods from foreign ports are not so large by nearly $1,100,000 as they were last week, but are in excess of the total for the corresponding week of last year. Foreign exchange is quiet at 109 to 1091 for the bills on London ; the latter rate could not be obtained for any considerable amounts. The stock market opened at firmer rates. Breadstuffs—Flour seemed more active and rather firmer. Corn meal, wheat, and barley were unchanged. There were 6,500 bushels of rye taken at about 90c. per bushel State and Western oats were more in demand at 48c. to 50c. per bushel. Corn was in better request and steady. The day's operations included 34,000 bushels, at 60c. to 65c. for inferior to prime Southern white and yellow per bushel. Cotton—The sales to-day were about 700 bales, and at prices exhibiting an easy market. Freights.—To Liverpool, flour was at 2s. 3d., grain at 7id., cotton at id., and 20 tons of old scrap iron were taken at 275. 6d. To London-100 tons of lard were taken at 275. 6d. To Glasgow—Flour was last taken at 3s. A vessel was taken up for Cienfuegos at 40 per 100 lbs. There was nothing new in rates for California or Australia. The demand for continental fabrics is not very active, and yet the business is steady and prices without mate rial change. There is less animation than expected at this date, and undesirable goods are pressed on the mar ket without finding buyers. There has been a good inquiry for broadcloths in qua lities below $2 50c., and goods worth $1 874 c. to $2 have even sold to arrive ; grades froze $2 50c. to $4 50c. have been dull, but above this range there has also been a fair demand. The stock of medium qualities is large, and rather pressing on the market. Doeskins are firm, and low qualities are scarce. The few goods tried through the auction room have not yielded much encouragement to continue the offering. Such goods as are wanted at private sale it is no object to send, and refuse stock is more than ever out of favour. In British goods the market has been dull and mostly heavy, and for fancy goods rather lower prices have been accepted. Staple goods are without mate rial change. HAVANNAH, MARCH 7. Sugar—A scarcity of vessels, high freights, and more abundant receipts of new sugar has caused the demand to fall off, and several purchases have been made at a decline of one-eighth to a quarter of a penny. If the same circumstances continue, there is little doubt the decline will be generally established, but as yet quota tions are unchanged. The weather is favourable for making sugar, with heavy rains for the first two days of the month, but since then there has been fine dry weather. The stock of sugar is 75,000 boxes. Molasses—There has been a continued demand at 21 reals per keg, equal to llic. per gallon, free on board. Several establishments have contracted at that price for all they can deliver during the month, and lower prices cannot be anticipated. Coffee is in good demand, at Bc. to 84c. for good seconds. Honey is firm at 21. Freights had an upward tendency until the last few days, when numerous simultaneous arrivals checked the demand. 31.175. 6d. and 41. per ton have been paid to Cowes, and a market. Captains were still asking the same rates, which will probably be granted, as there arc but a small number of disengaged vessels in port ; 13 reals have been paid for sugar in boxes to northern ports ; $6l to $7 for hogsheads ; $24 to $3 per 110 gal lons molasses. Exchanges are dull. London has declined to 91 ; on northern cities, 2i to 3 per cent. SCENE IN THE OHIO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—On Saturday, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, Mr. Barnum, member of the house from Cuyahoga, was standing in front of the clerk's desk, conversing with another member—the deputy-clerk was reading a bill to the house—the house was quiet and peaceable. At this moment Mr. H. Medary, the clerk of the house, brother of Colonel Medary, standing in his desk, took the crutch of old Mr. George, and deliberately aimed a blow directly upon the head of Mr. Barnum. The stroke came with power, and Barnum was knocked down, essentially. He was assisted by his friends to the room of the Ser geant-at-Arms, the huge wound on his head was attended to, and soon after Mr. Barnum, in company with another member, took the cars and started for his home. After about an hour's silent reflection and the regular pursuit of business, Mr. Lytle moved that the Sergeant-at-Arms take possession of Mr. Medary, that a committee of five be appointed to investigate the transaction, and to re port to the house what they shall do in the premises. This matter will attract some attention, and we shall try to keep the public duly posted.—Columbus State Jour nal, March 7.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. ( From th,e Times. ) Seventy years ago the two great statesmen of England encountered each other on the arena of Indian politics. The memorable struggle engaged the undivided attention of the nation, and the result determined the destinies of the country for a period of five and forty years. Unlike the apathy of modern times, the nation hung in breathless sus pense on the projects of the Whig and Tory cham pions, the House of Commons frequently sat till 5 o'clock in the morning, and every argument that the most refined ingenuity and the most bitter party spirit could suggest was exhausted in dis cussing the constitution of the government of a re mote and alien people. It may not be without advantage to recal at this time the exact position of the question, the leading features of the two bills, and the arguments by which they were attacked and defended ; perhaps even yet something may be gained towards the elucidation of the Indian problem from considering the form this question assumed in the third decade of the reign of George 111. In 1783 the feeling of the nation was roused to a violent extent against the East India Company, its servants, and its policy. A society of merchants, it was said, subject to no responsibility, bound by no political con siderations, and looking only to the increase of their dividends and the aggrandisement of their corporation, were conquering, plundering, and laying waste one of the fairest portions of the universe. No comedy was complete without the introduction of a griping and ostentatious Nabob, and the names of Clive Impey, Rumbold, and Hastings were cited with Clive, superstitious aver sion. Acts were passed requiring the company's servants to disclose the amount of their ill-gotten wealth, and bills of pains and penalties were intro duced for their punishment. It was in this tem per of the nation that Mr. Fox, being challenged by his great rival to bring forward a bill, not of temporary palliation or timorous expediency, but vigorous and effectual, suited to the magnitude, the importance, and the alarming exigency of the case, produced his India Bill. Thii measure abolished the Courts of Proprietors and directors, and named in the act itself seven Commissioners, invested with full powers for ad ministering the territories, revenues, and commerce of India, and possessing the whole patronage of the India service. Vacancies in this body were to be sup plied by the King, and its members were to be remov able upon the address of either House of Parliament. The Commissioners were to hold no other place of profit under the Crown, but they were not to be pro hibited from sitting in Parliament. Against this bill a storm of opposition was raised, not because it was con sideredunsuitable for the government of India, but dangerous to the constitution of England. A body thus chosen, it was said, would be an imperium in imperio—a fourth estate, endowed with the trea sures of India, and possessed of a mighty amount of patronage. It was said that such an institution would be dangerous to our liberties, and arm the Minister who called it into existence with irresisti ble power. It is impossible to deny that there was considerable weight in this reasoning. An admi nistrative department of State, in no way connected with or subordinate to the Crown, was a very start hug anomaly. Th e d anger o f placing the patron age in the hands of a board devoted to the Minister of the day was by no means ima g inary, and no pro vision seems to have been made for a due responsi bility to Parliament. The principle of the measure was, in fact, to substitute a board elected by the House of Commons for a board elected by the pro prietors of East India Stock, leaving it to act with out check or hindrance, except from the immediate intervention of Parliament. At the same time, it seems astonishing that it should not have been perceived how easily these defects might have been remedied, and how readily all that was objectionable in the bill might have been discarded, while all that was valuable was preserved. Had the patronage of the East India Company been sold, thrown open to public competition, or vested in some . other independent body, that objection would have been effectually removed ; and had the power of deciding been vested in an Indian Minis ter, and the duties of the proposed Council been restricted to advising and assisting this Minister, the dread of a new and irresponsible power would have been effectually removed. The bill of Mr. Fox seemed to sacrifice the in tegrity of our constitution to the future welfare of India. Mr. Pitt's measure, without alarming con stitutional jealousies, did little for the good govern carpenter and 'a thresher, in England, were each 2d., or 12d. a week. In comparison with the present money, it was three and a fraction more valuable ; but as this sort of consideration relates to the diffe rence in the Mint price of silver, we must look for a better measure, which will be found in the 577 pounds of bread produced from one quarter of wheat ; for bread will pretty well represent most of the things of necessary consumption among our working classes. The quantity of bread which these men at 2d. a day could purchase every week, will give us an idea of the adequacy of their wages to went of our eastern dominions. He established a Board of Control, he created a Secret Committee of directors, and he materially curtailed the influ ence of the Court of Proprietors. Subject to these provisions, he permitted the Company to continue till its extinction as a commercial body in 1833. The main fault of this measure seems to be that it was based on temporary and accidental circum stances, and was very likely to survive the objects for the sake of which it was instituted. The Com pany soon lost its aggressive and enterprising cha racter, and became, in its Indian policy, extremely and even absurdly pacific. Control was no longer needed, and the spur might, with great advantage, have replaced the rein. It is notorious that most of the wars which have desolated India have had their origin in the Secret Committee, without the know ledge and against the will of the directors. The institution has outlived its objects. In the present day a Board of Impulse is much more needed than a Board of Control. It is probable, however, that, unnecessary as it is for the purpose for which it is designed, the Board of Control, by bringing the Court of Directors into contact with the Govern ment, has preserved them to the present day. Had they maintained their isolated position they would probably have been sacrificed ere now to same out break of popular displeasure ; but the law which connected them with the Government, and made it responsible for their acts, imposed upon it the necessity of upholding them, and shielding them behind its aegis from the attacks of popular impulse. The effect of Mr. Pitt's bill has also been to with draw the attention of the public from the affairs of India, and to leave the Company and the Board of Control to manage matters without fear of Parlia mentary intervention. The device of placing the administration in the hands of one body and the responsibility in those of another operated probably to produce a more complete irresponsibility than the avowedly independent Council of Mr. Fox. We cannot refuse to Mr. Pitt's bill the merit of greater adaptation to the circumstances of a e,com mercial company, while to Mr. Fox must be awarded the merit of more direct adaptation of means to ends, and a more earnest desire for the welfare of our Indian fellow-subjects. The main difficulty which perplexed these two great men, which made Mr. Fox's board arbitrary and isolated, and forced Mr. Pitt to devise a machinery for con trolling instead of administering the government of India, is now removed. The commercial com pany has for nineteen years ceased to exist. Let us hope that we possess statesmen equal to the so lution of a problem, the conditions of which time has so materially simplified. their subsistence. Now the average price 6f the quarter of wheat in this century was 6s. In the shape of bread it would cost something more for workmanship, but then the water, which enters into bread, will counterbalance the surcharge or additional price. These men, having each 2d. day, had 12d. for the working week, and conse quently could purchase 971 b. of bread ; that is, having one-sixth of the price per quarter, they could of course buy one-sixth of it by weight or measure. In the 15th century the wages of these men were exactly the same, but wheat had risen to the aver age of Bs. per quarter, and consequently the com mercial 'or purchasing power of their wages was diminished. Instead of 971 b. they could have only 721 b. of bread. The following, or 16th century, brought altera tions, both in the price of wheat and the daily wages of the same trades, but the latter did not keep pace with the prices of necessaries, which, as usual, followed that of wheat. Thei r daily wages were doubled, and they had 4d., or 2s. per week ; but wheat was, on the average, 21s. per quarter, and, therefore, 2s. would purchase no more than 551 b. of bread. Thus, as money became abundant, and as farmers and other producers had the benefit of proportionately higher prices, the condition of the working class, even with double the amount of their wages in the 14th century, before the mines were discovered, was nearly two-thirds, or as 97 to 55, worse than before. CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES (From the Morning Advertiser.) In the 17th century, magistrates appear to have been very active in adjusting the amount of la bourers' wages to the price of wheat • but one is at a loss to account for the difference which is observ- able in their assizes. In some places where they were more regular, they thought 4s. and 3s. 6d. a week, according to the season, enough without food ; in others, 55. and 6s. ; and, again, we find Gs. and 7s. But these wages were in different years, and we pass over the irregularities. The average in this century was ss. a week, and the average of a quarter of wheat, from 1637 to 1700, was 51s. a quarter. We shall see what the com mercial power of these wages was, and finding that they could not purchase more than 561 b. of bread, we shall be justified in concluding that working men were considerably worsened in condition by the greater abundance of money than they were when, with 2d. a day, they could have 971 b. of bread. The 18th century saw the wages of working men at an average of 18s. a week, and they were enabled to live comfortably and save money. This improve ment was in the middle of the century ; that is, from 1786 to 1792, and is no doubt owing to the re action on the influence of money, under the im petus to industry given by the introduction of the cotton manufactures. The average of wheat in those years was 515., the lowest being 41s. 10d. per quarter, and the highest 575. 10d. Taking the average as we have average wages, the workman could now buy 2041 b. of bread every week, if he laid out all his wages upon that one necessary. Mr. Doubleday has found the weekly expenditure of a working man in 1785, whence it appears that, having bought a plentiful supply of butchers' meat, beer, butter, sugar, tea, coals, candles, &c., and paid a rent of Is. 6d. a week, a man with 18s. was ss. sd. a week in pocket. This prosperous state of things was disturbed by the French war. On the return of peace, the con di Lion of the working man was beginning to improve; when the evil genius of England rose in the form of aristocratic protection, and suggested the plan of maintaining high war rents in time of profound peace, by means of corn laws, or a tax upon bread and other necessaries, for they were enhanced in Consequence. Wages consequently were reduced on all sides. If we assume 10s. a week for the average, from 1815 to the extinction of the odious monopoly, we shall not be far wrong, particularly if we take 665. for the price of a quarter of wheat, for that was often the average of a year in the period of the corn law plunder. A man with 10s. a week could buy no more than 571 b. and a few ounces of bread, and thus he was, by legislative contrivance for the benefit of a class, brought down to the wretched condition of the labourers in the 16th century. Now, if we compare these 571 b. in the 19th century, under peace, with the 2041 b. a week, procurable by the workmen in the 17th, be fore the war, we shall be able to judge of the ex tent of the plunder, which the most productive of the population underwent by means of the corn laws. It amounts to 1971 b. a week ; because this computation supposes that all is spent in bread in each century, and it merely shows the purchasing power of money paid m wages. If the wages be diminished by extravagance and taxation, the rate of the purchasing power remains unchanged. The real cause, the artificial enhancement of the price of bread, has still the same effect. On the whole, it will be seen that the labouring classes were much better off in regard to the power of procuring necessaries, before the discovery of the American gold mines, than they were at any time after it, until the genius of Arkwright and his fellow-labourers in the industrial sciences, counter acted the deteriorating influence of the precious metals by means of the cotton manufactures, which wonderfully, and as if by magic, created, in a few years, more real wealth than had ever resulted from the importation of American gold and silver, pro digious as it may appear. In good truth, one coal mine is, in this respect, worth infinitely more than all the gold mines in America and Australia. Gold does riot create wealth ; it is not wealth itself ; it only represents and serves as a measure of wealth. Hence, we are not surprised at the sorrow expressed at the discovery of gold in the promising colony of New Zealand, as mentioned in a letter inserted in yesterday's Advertiser. The working classes, we fear, are doomed to grea t suffering, through the supineness of Government in regard to the import ant question—What shall we do if gold become cheap and the necessaries of life dear ? We would say, follow the example of the wiser statesmen of Holland, who, in good time, have demonetised gold, and placed it again in its true position, no longer money, but a thing of barter and sale, like all other marketable commodities, for such it will ever continue to be, in despite of bullionists and their absurd laws., THE SEAMAN'S BILL OF FARE.—Now I have some thing to say about the common seaman's victuals ; Parliament regulates the quantity, but quality depends upon the pocket of the shipowner.

The remedy is the juice of the pounded leaves of the ' verbena,' given in small doses three times a day, and injections of the same every two hours, until the bowels are emptied. The ' verbena' is a wild shrub, to be found growing almost everywhere, and particularly in low, moist ground. All our doctors have adopted its use, and now few or none die of those late fearful diseases. There are two kinds of it, male and female ; the latter is the one that is most used."—Liverpool Times. A very few words will suffice to show the condi tion to which the working classes of this country may expect to be reduced, should the continuous influx of large quantities of .gold render money abundant, and consequently cheap, making all other things, to use a common, but not here a correct term, dearer, unless their wages and incomes are raised in proportion to the depreciation of money and the consequent enhancement of necessaries. It will here be proper, since it is necessary to f re er to the times when the greatest alterations were made by the introduction of American gold and silver, to correct a mistake in the values of the quantities produced in the mines of America . o d f i c u l prioru Califor nia. The word " million " having been ciliated in the press, the amounts appear small.

AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 25. By the United States' mail steam-ship Humboldt, Captain J. D. Lines. we have accounts from New York to the 13th inst. The Humboldt touched off Cowes last night, en route to Havre, bringing 78 passengers, of whom 13 were for Southampton. Her cargo consisted of specie, value $65,000, 700 bales of cotton, 500 bales of whalebone, atc., for _ • - Havre. The Humboldt was, detained one day at New York by the violence of the weather, and has accomplished the passage from New York to Cowes in 11 days 5 hours. On the 20th inst.., in lat. 48.30, long. 39.25, the Humboldt passed the wreck of a large ship with mainmast gone a few feet above the deck, fore and mizen masts gone below the tops ; the bulwarks were gone and the decks swept. She appeared to be waterlogged. Her model ap peared to be English. On the 13th inst., when 15 miles east of Sandy Hook, the Humboldt spoke the British and North American mail steamer, Africa, bound in, and then 15 days out from Liverpool. The screw steam-ship Glasgow arrived at New York, from the Clyde, on the 12th inst. This packet brings little news of importance, the American papers being chiefly occupied with ac counts of the proceedings in the Senate at Wash ington, and of the immense intriguing going on at the capital by the swarms of office-seekers who are laying diligent siege to the new President and his Cabinet. To people in this country, who caul form little idea of the unscrupulous manceuvros of the office-expectant portion of the American community upon a change of Administration, the an flexed ex tracts from telegraphic dispatches from Wreshington, in the New York papers, will perhaps be not only interesting but novel : " General Pierce left this afternoon for Baltimore, and will return to-morrow with Mrs. Pierce. He is overwhelmed. He is fortunate if he can get more than one meal during the day, or if he can retire to. rest before two o'clock in the morning, to be up again rot six. "He receives visitors of all sorts in the lump. He was engaged in the service to-day till nearly two o'clock. To-day, when the company were dismissed, several per sons followed him into a side room. He then came out into the hall, bringing them after him, and, being thus relieved, he slipped into another room, and the door was shut. " The office seekers don't like these mixed. assemblies. It is the one minute in private that they de sire. Some times,.in the crowd they try to draw him aside, but they generally fail. Sidney Webster, his private secretary, is the next resort, and the poor youth is perplexed with the pressure of the hungry swarm, till even he is com pelled to close doors. " The Cabinet to-day, in business style, .are receiving company. One or two go into the secretary at a time, tell their story, and hand in their papers. The throng of applicants in the hall are waiting their turns. The pres sure on Secretary Marcy for foreign missions andlconsul ships is astounding ; but they will not be acted upon without the full deliberation of the Cabinet. So it is of the rest. " The number of letters and papers sent to. the Presi dent in favour of the different candidates is tremendous. The clerks in the various departments are classifying them, and making short abstracts of their contents. It is stated that General Pierce will make all thv important appointments himself. The first business tole proceeded with is the filling of vacancies. The President has been overrun with hungry hordes, and has refused audience to great numbers. "It is expected that to-morrow some collectors, con suls, and assistants to the Cabinet officers will b. cut out for the Senate for Monday, including, perhaps, some foreign appointments. All hands are impatient for Monday._ - _ _ - _ _ " The friends of General Cass are in trouble since his departure. Some have left in despair. In fact, the ele ments of insurrection are at work, and predictions are plentiful of an early break down of the Cabinet. Things look squally ; but those in the confidence of General Pierce say he expected it—that he is perfectly cool, and, with his course marked out, is prepared to disband his Cabinet, or dismiss a rebellious faction, at. a moment's notice. He will be President at all hazards." In the Senate, on the 10th inst., ex-Secretary Clayton concluded his speech in vindication of his conduct relative to the treaty negotiated with Sir Henry Bulwer. He repudiated the Monroe doc trine, and declared that Presidents Jackson and Polk, in connection with both Houses of Congress, had done the same. He pronounced the Squiers treaty to have been unconstitutional, and stated that his own was based on the principles set forth by previous democratic Administrations. On the following day Judge Douglas replied to the speech of Mr. Clayton. The New York _Herald of the 13th contains the following incredible telegraphic dispatch : "NEW ORLEANS, MARCH 9. "The schooner Charles Pearson arrived this morning from Honduras. She reports that great excitement pre vailed on the island in consequence of her British Ma jesty's war steamer Devastation having anchored off Toupin() and demanded the surrender of the place in the name of the Mosquito King. The inhabitants were given two hours' time to decide before the commence ment of a bombardment. The inhabitants yielded to superior forces, but solemnly protested against the out rage. The Mosquito flag was hoisted and. the Honduras flag pulled down. The British war steamer then pro ceeded to Limas, and cannonading was afterwards heard in that quarter. It was presumed that a contest was going on between the steamer and the Honduras troops. A severe shock of an earthquake was felt at Belize on the 10th of February." Upon this news the Herald remarks :7- " Should our dispatch prove correct—and it comes from a most reliable authority—President Pierce may be called upon to take cognis ance o f th e p r ogress .f affairs in that quarter much s ooner th an w as anticipated. This movement, if correctly stated, shows how much re liance is to be placed in the assertions of British diplo matists that their Government is desirous of abandoning the Mosquito Protectorate." There is little extra news from Mexico. An arrival at New Orleans reported that Caravajal had abandoned his plans and disbanded his followers. A telegraphic dispatch from Louisville, dated March the 11th, thus gives the news of a discovery of gold in the Cherokee nation : " Advices from Taliquah, Cherokee nation, to the 23d ult., state that great excitement existed in the nation, owing to the reported discovery of gold in large quan tities on Horseshoe Creek, in the northern part of the nation. The yield was said to be $lO to $l2 a-day per man. Large numbers are leaving Maysville for the locality." The steam-ship Isabel, with dates from Havannah to the Bth of March, had arrived at Charleston. The health of Vice-President Icing had improved. At Matanzas the crop of sugar was good. Private letters dated Havannah, March 7, say that up to the present it is not known what will be the fate of the political prisoners, as the Government is either undecided, or desirous to keep its intentions a,pro found secret up to the last. Much anxiety is felt by the Cubans, and the worst is fe are d. The slave schooner Rachel Brown, captured on the coast of Africa by the United States' sloop of war Germantown, arrived at Norfolk on the 9th instant. The American clipper ship Atalanta, 84 days from Canton (the quickest voyage ever made), went on shore on the 10th inst. on the Roamer Shoal, and was expected to become a perfect wreck. Her cargo of silks, teas, &c., was worth $200,000. A brutal murder of two young married females had taken place in Philadelphia, which caused much excitement. They were sisters. One of them had just been confined of twins. The following version of the bloody deed bas been published in the _Philadelphia Bulletin _ .... "One of the most fearful tragedies that bas ever been enacted in Philadelphia was brought to light in South wark. At half-past seven o'clock this morning, two sisters, named Hannah Shaw and Ellen Lynch, at 260, Federal-street, between Seventh and Eighth-streets, were found brutally murdered. "As soon as we heard of the circumstance, we hastened to the spot, in company with Coroner Gold smith, and found a dense crowd gathered about a three storey brick building on the south side of Federal-street. Upon entering the house the most horrible sight pre sented itself which it has ever been our lot to witness. In the front room, on the first floor, the bodies of two females, apparently not more than 25 or 30 years of age, lay weltering in blood. Both lay across the room, about four or five feet apart. " The one which lay in the front part of the room was - z'2,,_
