PENNSYLVANIA REPUDATloN.--The Courier
and other Wall street prints, shed tears the
pudiatlon OF the State of Pennsylvania, and yet
they are urging New York to the same fatal result,
by crying out for more debt-more expenditures
more internal improvements.
Such Is one of the strange inconsistencies of the
miserable politicians of the present day. We have
now SIX western States, and one, if not two, Allan
tic States declared bankrupt-unabe to pay their
lnterest-and yet there are men in Wall street, and
round about the country, who would double the
debt OF New York, and produce like bankruptcy
IN less than four years Go ahead our withers are
unwrung"

CLUBs AND CLUB LIFE.-The English fashion of
Club Life is getting into vogue in New York. We
have already the Union Club, recently located in
Broadway, opposite the Atheneum-the Novelty
Club, composed of small paragraphsts and discard
ed waters, which meet in Park Row-the Corin-
THAN Club, composed of literary men and some fools
the Alcbades Club, which meets in Mercer
street, composed of some men of fashion and for.
tune, some bloods and some blackguards-the Beef
steak Club, composed of old inveterate jokers. We
promised list of the "cards'' of these clubs with
the terms of eating, drinking, lodging, admission
expulsion, rong, registering, and all kinds of beha
viour The Union, the Novelty and the Alcbades
we have already-ful lists, full portraits They are

BAD MANNERS BAD MoRAIs.-One of the most
remarkable traits exhibited at the recent ward meet.
ings of the wings in this city, is their excessively
bitter language and bad manners.
The vulgar and thoroughly BLACKBOARD language
which they towards the Chief Magistrate oftheir
own country, gives one a very sorry opinion of their
refinement, intelligence, or the progress of cviiza-
ton. The most lamcntable aspect of the day is the
fact that such language and such manners, adopted
publicly by large and respectable party, will lead
10 a sad and deplorabe decline in moral sentiment
and moral principle. Hence the dishonesty, the i'm
piety, the cheating, the immortality which SO much
prevails among the educated and higher classes
of society. Where is all this to end In some
extraordinary CONFUSION of the social system.

Vine CANDIDATE FOR GovERNoR.-The wings
at several of the ward meetings have openly ex-
pressed wish to support Mr.. Bradsh as the candi-
date for next Governor.
We certainly have no objections. Mr.. Bradish
can run as elegantly as any mainland if he should
be defeated by honest iron listed Bouck he would,
with white kerchlet in hand, make as graceful
bow, and receive the result coolly as ever Mr..
Van Buren, treats friend-or Major Noah turns a
somerset-or Thurlow Weed lathered and shaved
candidates to office, at sixpence head, during the
regime of Mr.. Seward.
Mr.. Bradish is marvellousy proper man-and
the only really, polite and gentlemanly politician
that is extant in these latter days.

The Naval COURT Misunderstanding as APP
pears by report, the sentence of the Court was
passed upon Passed Midshipman May 1t amounted
to this" My boy, mama thinks you have been
naughty, bat here's bit of sugar candy, so don't do
so again"
Really, really the whole investigation seems TO
be the most boyish affair we ever remember to have
heard of. How such war-worn veterans as Com
modore Stewart can sit with their cooked hats. and
hear through such petty quarrels without laughing,
is past our philosophy. The whole Expedition
seems 10 have acted towards each other like so
many overgrown schoolboys, who had received
a greater supply of beef than of brains or birch.

OUR NAVY ABROAD, &c We have received let.
tiers by the way of Boston, from the u IS. brgantine
Boxer, Lieut.. Commanding Oscar Bulus, confirm.
ing previous report of her arrival at Trinidad de
Cuba from Port Royal, Jamaica.
Ii gives us pleasure to observe the unvarylng re.
spect paid TO our flag in the course of her cruise
and in particular, the courteous observance of the
usual cviiies by foreign powers afoat. We allude
more particularly in the present instance, to the
British frigate Voltage, whose commander Sir VIM.
Dixon, deemed it no sacrifice of his dignity to pay
the first compliment of visit to the Boxer. AT
Port Royal her salute was courteously returned by
the Commodore (of the first class) commanding
afoat, also by the Port Other equally substantial
clvilities were received by her officers, from the
civil and naval authorities, as also from the regiment
OF artillery stationed there.
Information being given of the appearance of a
pratcal craft of Cape Breton, the Boxer made sail
in quest of her amongst the reefs and keys on the
south side of Cuba-convoying brig of Philadel-
phia TO Trinidad.
Her recent cruise on the coast of New Grenada
had been OF vast service to our commerce. and her
presence the coast of Yucatan for which she was
bound on the 9TH ult., was deemed of mush impor-
lance
Her officers and crew were all well, though suf-
tering somewhat from the intense heat of the eli
mate, TO which they were necessarily exposed.
We regret, however, to learn, that the fever had
broken out on board the Voltage, by which she had
lost three of her officers (ncuding two eutenants)
and several men. On her arrival at Port Royal,
the disease still continued-all the forward officers
down, with number of the crew and on her
arrival at Halifax, where she now is, sixty of her
crew were the sick list with the fever.
