A WARNING 20 RIoTERs-SENTENs NOE FOR ASSAULT
AND BATrERY.-In the Court OF Sessions, yesterday,
there were several sentences for assault and battery;
and although the parties were what is called 'highly
respectable" the Recorder sent them all to the city
prison. OAe was the assault of De Kay upon Tillou,
in Wall street; the Recorder said this was the more
aggravated because efthe public nature Of the street,
and therefore sent him for five days to the city pri.
sou. Another was the case of Ludlam s. Chitten-
den, formerly Mayor Of Apalachicola, for assaulting
his brotherin law, West. The Recorder said that
this was one OF those aggravated and unprovoked as
saults that so often occur; the Court tried fines, but
this did not prevent them; in this case a ~pretence
was set up that words were used toward the prisoner
that Justified the assault; but this was idle; there
was no Qualifications; it was one of those malicious,
wanton and unprovoked assaults, that ~so'often occur,
because persons will not control their temper. An
example must be made in these cases to deter
others from similar conduct; he therefore sentenced
the ex-mayor to ten days imprisonment, a fine of
twenty-five dollars, and security to keep the peace
for one year that should be satisfactory, particularly
toward his brotherin- law. And the Recorder said
that he wished all relations, and all others, to under.
stand that from this time the Court would deal even
still more severely with every one convicted of an as
sault.

Views at Washington.

Orr Information from Washington begins TO be
interesting and important. We have understood,
from authentic sources that several new views be.
gin to be developed among men and parties there.
In Congress it is probable that a new tariff law
will be passed, partly for revenue, partly for protec-
ton. Great efforts will be made to prevent the re-
peal OF the distribution law, and they may succeed
IN the present state of parties. A new apportion.
ment bill will also pass. OF the exchequer plan, or
any financial plan, there is less ofhope.
The resignation of Mr.. Clay does no, change the
action or movement of The parties in Congress. A
large portion Of the wing party are bitterly hostile 10
the Presidential more moderate portion is willing
so support his administration, but the party leaders
and party spirit prevent their free action. Among
the democrats a like state of tendencies exists. The
great bulk OF the locofoco party are ready TO go tor
Captain Tyler, but their leaders and newspaper or
gans try all they can TO keep them back. The next
Congressional elections will break up all these party
shackles throughout the ceuntry.
The President and his cabinet are very harmo-
NOUS, but we are more and more convinced Of the
probability OF the retirement of Mr.. Webster, after
he shall have terminated the negotiations with
Lord Ashburton. Yet the retirement of MIR. Web.
ster from the Cabinet will arise from no difference
OF opinion on public afiairs-but principally from
private reasons-it will be a friendly resignation.
John c. Spencer will also probably resign his
seat.
These designations in the cabinet, when they
take place-if they do take p%lace-and we rather
think they will take place, will be the signal for a
general removal of all the inefficient, useless, unne-
cessary and worthless office holders throughout the
country. There is to be a general curtallment in
the number of offices and office holders-and none
will be retained but the most worthy, sober and in.
dustrious. The two vacant places in the cabinet
will be probably filled by two moderate republicans,
or democrats. Mr.. Webster will probably come to
New York and settle here. He could make $4,000
a year at his profession in New York, while as Sc.
cretary of State he can emily get a beggarly Sc. 600,
and plenty of the most shameful abuse, from the
very men that he has given favors to.
These views of the state of things at Washington
are pretty accurate. We seldom predict without
knowing how the stars look. On the whole, the
next Congressional election will determine the
next presidency, and no mistake.

NOVEL MOVEMENT IN OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION.
That favorite and splendid steamship, the British
Queen, recommences her trips across the Atlantic
next month. According TO the advertisement of her
sgenis in this city, she starts from Antwerp, the ca
piIal OF Belgium, on the Ali, and touches at South
ampton on the 7h of May, and will arrive here
about the 22d, uuder the omman of Captain M.
M. keane, once the commander of the il-fated Pre-
sIdent. He is a skilful, genllemanly and popular
navigator.
The British Queen begins on a new plan in tn
passenger business and steam navigation. 1t is this
seventy dollars are charged for passage, exclusive of
board; then if passengers wish any thing to eat they
are to call for it as they would in a Continental
Hotel, and pay for what they have, much or little;
on the Continental plan. If a person wishes bran
bread and cold water he can have them-if turtle
soup and champagne he can have them also. What
ever he wants the steward will provide at stated
rates marked down on the bill Of fare. This is a
novel arrangement for an ocean steamer, and can.
not but be an excellent one. All the French passen-
ger steamers are conducted so, and we think this
Continental plan-not the Canal street plan-will
succeed admirably.
But what effect will this new route and new plan
have upon the Western and Cunard steamers ? Ger
tainly not a very favorable one. All The Continen-
tai and many of the English passengers will most
assuredly go in the Queen, touching as she will, first
at Southampton and then at Antwerp. All Cont
mental passengers will 60 in her, because she is con-
Quoted IN a manner to suit their tastes, and we
think that the other Atlantic steamships will suff r
to the tune OF five or SIX hundred passengers year.
And if the Queen succeeds, the Belgian government
will increase the line, and then there will be great
competition in ocean steam navigation, greater than
has yet taken place. This OF course will tend to
reduce the price OF passage, as Cunard's steamships
have already done, and in a few years we shall be
able TO cross the broad Atlantic for fifty dollars and
lind ourselves. Success therefore to the Queen.
THERMOMETER RIsINo.-We shall have a terrible
summer ofit-and riots will follow riots. The wea-

for his board In the November following the
Delaware Bank discovered that the money which
had been entrusted to his care never reached its
destination, and called upon him to account for it.
Here, then, Is the foundation of this suit, and the
beginning, in fact, Of the painful story. Mr.. Fry
declares that he came in towu on Saturday, too

dsews, Che defendant) told him he had been en-
trusted with a large amount of money, TO be hand.

delay, he went to Andrews store, told him his
situation, and handed him the package of money.
And rews promising to carry it to the Bank on lis
opening at ten O'Clock, ard safely deliver it. He
left the package with defendant for that purpose,
and that is the last he has ever seen Of il. He also
states that the clerks were present, and must have
seen him deliver it. Andrews, on the contrary,
positively and absolutely denies ever having re.
ceived the package. Fry, he says, brought il there,
and showed II, but took it away again. He &C
knewiedges they were old acquaintance, but denies
that The package was ever left with him The
clerks, on whom Fry relied for support, also fail
him, and one, in particular, positively said he did
not deliver the package to Andrews, although he
had It with him, as he stood in q position where,
had he done so, he must have seen him. This wit
him how he gave his testimony, but Fry denies
having written it. Both of the young men produced
OF most excellent character. Mr. OCon.
nor was Tor d, fendsnt, and alluded to the danger OF
