The Government measures, however, will all
doubtless pass by large majority. We cut
the following from London paper:
In the Admiralty Court on the 10Th of April, udg-
ment was pronounced against the American brig Mas

bulhnch for damages sustained by the latter vessel
by collision with the former. II appeared that on
the 10th of December last about two O'Clock in the
afternoon, the weather being fair the barque at

came up IN tow of steamer and, casting off the
tug, she came in collision with the barque and be-
came entanged. The master of the Bulfinch sug-
gesed to the American master TO cut the Ian
yards OF his forestry, which would have liberated the
vessels; but he refused, and would not permit it TO
be done by the mate of the barque. For the amount
OF damage done (about fls) the action brought,
and the question was, whether the Massachusetts

exclusively to the pilot on board that vessel. The
court was assisted by the Trinity masters, the
points were exclusively of nautical character At
ter hearing Mr. Haggard for the Bulfnch, and DR..
Adams and Dr. Robertson for the Massachusetts,, the
Trinity masters were of opinion, in which the court
concurred, that the blame lay exclusively with the
master and crew Of the Massachusetts.

We have recently been informed by gentleman

several Mexican traders from Tamaulipas, visited
the rancho of Aubrey 4 Kinney week or two since,

since, swept down the eastern bank OF the Rlo
Grande from Laredo nearly to the coast, and de-
vastated the whole country They captured and
carried off several women and children, and spread
such an alarm that nearly all the Mexican settlers
have forsaken their ranches and removed with their
families west of the river. The whole country east

WAsHINcroN, Friday Evening.

The Senate spent the whole day in executive ses-
SION on the nomination of Postmaster for Trenton,
New Jersey, and rejected the man at last. The no
mnee was the present incumbent, Mr.. Cunningham,
represented all hands to be excellent officer and
meritorous man, but he happens to think that there
are other men in the nation fit for President besides
MIR, Clay, and that was enough to kill him with
jority of the Senate. The wings proper, and all the
senators who profess friendship to the administration,
for the purpose of getting offices for their friends,
with the exception of Mr.. Rives, voted against Mr.,
Cunningham. Perhaps there is now no further mo-
tive to try and deceive the President If that is the
fact we shall see them show Their true colors and
take decided ground against the administration. The
sooner the better. An avowed enemy is l. IS to be
dreaded than treacherous ally The President has
nothing to hope expect from the wings, and state
of things will soon arrive when it will be ndispen-
sable for him to break off all connection with them

While writing on this subject, would remark
mat has been generally supposed in this country
that the British Government was itself interested
and contributed funds TO large amount to sustain
these steamers. We have it, however, on good au-
thority, that such is not the fact The Government
only pays a certain stipulated amount for the trans
mission Of the mails, aud the Company under bonds
with heavy penalties in cases of failure, which penal
ties are rigidy enforced against them. An applica-
ton to the Government was in instance made for
a loan which was refused and each of the directors
contributed individually, $4,000 to aid the carrying
out the enterprise

yored some time since, with the following list Of
the names of the steamers, and their commanders.

RE NCHMENr WITH A vENGEANCE

We implore the people of the United States
TO watch their representatives in Congress. Let
the see and remember the present transac-
tons Of their public servants. The President,
and the Secretaries Of the Navy and War, have
recommended certain additions both TO the army
and navy, which at this particular ncure
seemed to be demanded. Congress, thinks diff
ftrently and acts accordingly. Now if in our
negotiations with other nations, they should take
advantage Of our inability to defend ourselves,
and exact dishonorabe peace, let the blame
rest upon Congress! If, on the other hand, war
should be precipiated on US in consequence of
our deienceess condition, and the country should
be trampled under foot by some powerful in
vaGer, T IIE BRAND OF IGNOMlNY WILL
REST UPON CONGRESS-! We appeal to
the people to say if the Executive has not dis
charged its duty.
