prodiglous paper tomorrow
From Washington.
We learn from Washington that there can be no
doubt ola favorable termination TO the negotiations
with England, now conducted by Lord Ashburton
on side, and Mr. Webster on the other. Mr..
Webster has gone down TO Boston, for the purpose
of experimenting the progress of the movement,
near the governments of Maine and Massachusetts,
Il is understood that both States will agree TO
conventional line, and the part 10 be retained by
England is TO be reimbursed by some equivalent in
money territory.
On Friday last Mr.. Wicklifie, the Postmaster
General, left Washington, and will arrive here
morrow or next day. His purpose is little relaxa-
tloa, blended with desire to see how the pos-of-
fees work-and also 10 be near the scene of action
in Rhode Island, to consult with Mr.. Webster
should any difficulty occur there 1t is believed in
high quarters that the charter party in Rhode Island
ought at to pass law in favor of universal
suffrage, and grant a constitution to that state as
free as those which the other New England States
enjoy Until this be done, the agitation cannot
cease
With respect to appointments and removals we
learn that much movement is expected soon to take
place IN the n. York Custom House What removals
or appointments may take place cannot yet pre-
will probably be removed, for good and sufficient
reasons. and B. w Richards Esqr., formerly May
or of that city is TO be appointed in his place
Mr. Williamson the Recorder of the Land Office
in Washington is to be First Auditor Of the Treasu
~, and Mr. Burr, formerly connected with the n. Y
Wing, newspaper of this city, is to be appointed
Recorder. Colonel Blake of Indiana will be Com
missioner of the Land office.
These movements are all of some Importance
and will add force and respect to the administration
The violence and teroclty of the two extremes of
the old parties, now forming the motley opposition,
are gradually working a moral revolution in the
country at large. There must be harmony and con-
fidence between the head of the admnistra-
ton and all the various classes of public Of
hcers, or the government never satisfy
the country, conduct its affairs. Mr.. Web
ter, while in this city last week, told his
friends here" Gentlemen, the President is man
OF unjoubted talent, integrity and honor, and he
must be sustained at all hazards from the open and
secret attacks of the facto Gus extremes"
The moral sense of the country is gradually COM
ing rght-and the next Congressional elections will
speak in a voice OF thunder the new opposition.
Mark that. BE in no hurry. Things are coming
right in the natural way

SINGULAR SERMON AND SINGULAR SCENE AT THE
QUAKER MEETING IN RosE-sTREBr Yesterday
A celebrated preacher named White Of the highly
respectable body OF Quakers, termed Hcksites, de-
llvered very singular sermon at the Rose-sreet
meeting house yesterday, denouncing the Temper
eace Societies and the Abolition Societies in no very
measured terms. As soon as he was through, an
Abolition preacher rose TO answer him but before
he had finished, the meeting broke out II was
singular All the youth, beauty, and fashion
of the female portion OF the Hicksites were present
and most brilliant group they formed Among the
gentlemen noticed Cornelius w Lawrence
Esq, Cap;lin Coleman of the As,or house Abraham
Bel. Esq, and several other distinguished citizens
We shall cndeavor to find room for the sermon to-
morrow.
In the mean time, we may state, as a sample of
his remarks the following. He said: $50 disgust
ing IS the conduct of the hreing lecturers of these
societies (the Temperance and Abolition Soceties)
that if possible rake up all the corrupt dead
that II, buried beneath the ruins of ancient Babylon;
and all the corrupt and rotten that persisted
at Sosom and Gomorrah, believe that they would
received with open arms by these societies. and
hailed worthy fellow laborers and cosdjutors in
the cause Of their righteousness as they term it,"
Ills remarks appeared 10 create n great sensation

SoUTH Durcn CHURCH on WASHINGTON SQUARE
We mentioned some time since that the trustees
OF this beautiful church, certainly. in the interior
the most 50 OF any similar edlfice in the L. States
were libonng under considerable pecuniary embsr
rassment, and that they were making great exertion
10 avert a sale Of the church under an execution We
arc sorry 10 say that their efforts to raise money have
proved unayaihng. partly owing TO the times, but
mainly from the want OF harmony among the con-
grcgaton. The trustees have at last been Obliged
10 make application 10 the Chancellor for permission
10 sell The building must therefore go into other
hands The cause of the embarrassment is the de-
probation in the value Of the churchs properly in
Garden street, It's former sce, upon which the cost
OF the new cdfce. something less than $4,000
was predicated The trustees OF several other
churche. have already made application TO pur-
chase. Among the congregations anxious TO buy
we have heard that OF DR.. Spring, DR.. Phillips, in
Wall street, Grace Church. and DR. Potts in Duane
sireei--ail being anxious TO move up town where
the most OF their respective congregations have al
ready gone
In short time there will not o.. single Presby.
