General Scott had been enthusiastically received
in Lexington by • large portion of the inhabitants of
that town. In the course of his remarks, General
Scott alluded feelingly to the death of Henry Clay,
and was evidently much affected on approaching so
near the home of that great statesman, who was his
warm personal friend. "I am here," he said,
"almost within sight of the former dwelling of the
sage of Ashland--almost within sight of his last rest-
ing place—to stand upon such a spot must be suffi-
cient to affect any ono acquainted with the public
character and career of that great man. How much
more deeply, then, must it touch the feelings of one
who has known him personally—who has been a co-
labourer with him for his country—and who has
learnt by experience his private worth, and the
friendliness and kindness of his disposition."
The following remarks on the Lobos Island qua.
lion we extract from the Washington correspond-
ence of the New York Daily Times :
It is the fashion of ear journalists to sneer at the New
York and Boston merchants, who formed the extensive and
bold combination for loading • fleet of American vetwils
with guano, without submitting to the Peruvian prohi-
bitory tax, as mere speculators. no operation' of
all merchants are undertaken in the lisps of gain;
but they may be highly beneficial and bensurahle to the
country, severthelem. And that was undoubtedly the
character of this Lobos expedition. All *id. molioms, who
knew of the existence and valuable PI elf die article,
have taken no from the desert islands elf the Abbas and
Booth American meats for half a century, without paying
tribute to any sovereign Isseamn is F,Mt of fact,
deposits were waifs apes the sea, Wee to nobody. Had
thou ships obtained and brought tbrirmogoes to the UMW
Motes, the success of their owners would have ham of a
men real advantage to the country dna belf a dens vic-
torious campaigns. These "speculators" would them have
d that class of men whom Swift described when
tlise=d to "
Whoever would make two ears of con, or two
blades of gram to grow apes a spot where only do
grew
before, would deserve fasten of =Wand, and do more
emeutial service to his country, than the whole race of
politicians put to together."
Mesdames Sontag and Alboni still continue to
attract crowded houses at New York and Philadel-
phia.
From Washington we learn that Commodore
Skinner has assumed the duties of Acting Secretary

ing forward the Japan expedition.

38,000 dollars to be distributed among their people
at home.

Orders have been issued to Major Murray for the
removal of the Menornine Indians to their new loca-
tion in Wisconsin. The sum of 25,000 dollars was
appropriated by Congress for this purpose.
Thirty-one slaves from the neighbourhood of Au-
rMill and Dover, escaped to Ohio on the night of the
26th ult. They were traced to Ripley, on the river,
and were pursued by their awaits and others from
this side. The clothes taken by the dues were con-
cealed in a yard. The owners were refused a wan
rant to search the house, in which it was
most of the slaves were hid. Five who had eon
en were pursued by their masters, and dyes cap-
tured. They were expected to be brought over nest
night. The negroes of Ripley, assisted in numbers.
armed with gone, and surrounded the hotel where
the Kentuckians stopped. Fears were entertained
of a serious didubance, as the Kentuckians remain
there on the watch,? and were determined to recover
determined
slaves. Mock indsgnalion was felt because the
authorities of Ripley refused to soda the masters by
granting
.warrants.
A portion of the Manhaltan Ou-works was de-
stroyed on the night of the 29th ult., in New York.,

pire City, arrived at New Orleans un the 22nd.
The Havannah papers were filled with long and
scurrilous diatribes against the American govern.
ment, people and press. So strict is the espionage
observed, that two English officers, attached to a
British steamer, having, during a walk, pointed to
the fortifications in sight, were arrested and im-
prisoned on suspicion of being fillibusters taking ob-
servations. The British Consul procured their imme-
diate release. Mr. Moreland, the acting American
Consul, cannot receive a single newspaper. The
luggage of passengers was strictly overhauled for
newspapers, and sometimes private letters were
opened and read; this occurred with Captain

Beheldler, of New Orleans. Letter bags con-
taining eorrespondibes for delivery, by Amert.,
can vessels, are examined. An additional secret

Havannah on the 18th, in 16 days from Porto Bello,
sod offered services to the captam-general in cue of
necessity. English national vessels with similar
orders are looked for every day. The Diario learns
it is already determined to replace the Pizarro by
another vessel, equal in size and force, which will
arrive in less than three mouths. Sickness prevails
in Cuba to a great extent. It is reported that the
five persons connected with the revolutionary journal
will be garrotted. The remainder will be imprisoned
eight years in Spain.
By the arrival of the steamship Louisiana, Forbes,
Galveston papers to tho 17th ult. had been received
at New Orleans.

The Galveston New. says :
We are glad to learn that the prospects continue highly
favourable for cotton and sugar cane throughout the State.
It is only in a few places that the worm and caterpillar
have made their appearance ; and even in those places they
have done very little damage, and are now disappearing.
The truth appears to be that the cotton is now too tar
advanced to be much injured by the worm, as it could do
but little more than to cut off the leaves, which would pro-
bably be rather a benefit than ea injary. The weather
has, of late, been very favourable for packing, and oar
planters are said to be making the best see of it ; and
should it continue so, it 4 believed that the crop of the
State will be about double what it was last year. We ez-
pert to see about 100,000 dales shipped from this port.
The South western American says there is a corn-
field
near Austin which will yield 3,500 bushels of
shelled corn.

Much sickness is prevailing at Washington. A

publisher, devil, and every imp in the office" are sick.
The Bulletin says that there to a great increase in
the lumber trade of Indianola. From the 16th of
August to the 13th of September inclusive, 690,000
feet had been received. Notwithstanding these re-
ceipts, the supply is by no means commensurate with
the demand.

The papers contain Tampico dates to the 12th inst.
Everything was quiet. The Mexican war steamer

The excitement in regard to the usurpation by
Cardenas of the governorship of the State of Ta-
maulipas, still continued. On the third, the legisla-
ture, which appears entirely subservient to the will
of Cardenas, issued a decree conferring upon the
governor whatever powers may be required to revo-
lutionise the spirit at Tampico and other parts of the
state. If the governor considers it necessary to em-
ploy Don Antonio Canales in the mater, the requi-
site license is conferred upon him. The Anuncia-
mento bad passed as a lut resort, an appeal to the
General Congress, to declare the election of Cardenas
null and void.
