EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF LORD AsHBURroS. Pre-
parations are making here for the arrival Of Lord
Ashbuton, the British Special Minister. We un-
derstand that suit of three parlors, or drawing
rooms, have been taken for him at the Astor House,
under the management Of the British func tionary
for this port. Lord Ashburton sailed on the l4h in
stant in fast frga,e, the Warspite, and may be
pected about the close Of thisweeko the beginning
of next. He will probably remain here few days,
receive some hoepitable attentions from the British
agents here, and leave in week after his arrival for
the capital. In Washington, the splendid house in
President Square, built by Mr. st. Clair Clark has
been engaged, ready furnished, for six months. The
American Executive has also directed the military
and civil authorities here to receive the minister
with the usual style and attention.
The arrival Of Lord Ashburton here will create
different and more serious feeling, than that felt on
the arrival of Charles Dickens II may be for war
or peace-who knows4 There will be no ball at
the Park, however although there may be balls
else where, if he insists on the right of search.

A number Of the New York newspapers, who
were 80 jealous for the dignity of Judges and
Courts, that they made combined effort to bring
the severest punishments OF the law upon the editor
Of the New York Herald, for having ridiculed the
Judges 10 Of his reports, have, in consequent nee
Of their disappointment, changed their views, OF the
respect due TO judicial tribunals They are now
charging majority Of the Judges Of the same court
with corruption and conspiracy, to favor the same
offender. A fac OF three hundred and fifty dollars
for quxzlng the Judges, 10 so light punishment
that the jealous champions OF judicial dignity, can
oaly account for nby charging the most gross judi
cal turpltude!
This is very true-and the same idea has appeared
in many other newspapers in different parts Of the
country. A word to the wise is sufficient There
still hangs a remarkable mystery over the indict-
nents, trials, and fines got up against the New
York Herald, which will be revealed one Of these
days. to the establishment of the world, and the dis
comfiture Of the conspirators. Judges, jurors and
editors will figure through these developments, in
way that will reveal the 'secrets Of prison houses
md the mysteries Of human nature The time for
this is not yet-but room will be. Men who recent
Iy held their heads high, will then look MODESTO
not sheepish The conspiracy set on foot to destroy
Us will rebound on the heads Of the conspirators
and their tools Justice and virtue will yet triumph
We bide our time-remain cool-lay low, and
"keep our powder dry."

MoxuxESr TO M'DoHALp CLARxE.-We were
called upon yesterday 10 subscribe for the erection
of monument to the memory of poor M'Donald
Clarke. Many generous-very generous hearts will
subscribe for a monument to the dead, who would
not have given a crust to the living poet. When
Clarke was alive, we frequently endeavored to pat
him in the train Of gaining comfortable and hcno-
rable livelihood by turning his talent into popular
channel. We have paid him several hundred dol
lars for! the contributions of his cratic museand
was always willing to pay him reasonable COM
pensation for such pieces as were fit and appropriate
for publication. A few months before his death, a

into their tolls, hattered his foolish attachment "a

without giving him any compensation-in fact they
encouraged his worst vagaries. The consequence
was, excitement disease, starvation, madaes ant
death.
We know more Of Clarke, and have seen more o
Clarke, than perhaps any other person in New
York, and on proper occasion, we shall give
sketch Of his singular, harmless and eccentric liz
and character, with few original illusions now il

amendment and the ehgrossment Of the bill to third

would probably occasion some debate. Besides, be
