the Secretary of the Treasury exhibits fact which
we presume is generally known, viz: that, not
withstanding the increase in the tonnage which en-

ports of breadstuffs the American tonnage which en-
tered and cleared decreased, as compared with the
year previous whilst the foreign tonnage increased

A Revolution.

1t said that Mr.. Clay's first act when he came
to Washington, would be TO decline q canvass in ia
vor of Gen. Taylor 1t was afterwards asserted that
he would withdraw the national convention
met in compliment to the General. How true this
last declaration is will appear from the following
ticle in the Philadel phia North American. That pa
per has recently asserted that Mr.. Clay will decline
in favor of Gen. Taylor in the latter is nomna-
ted by the wing national convention, and that Gen.
Taylor will decline in Mr.. Clay should be nomi
mated.
The truth of this statement having been questioned
by northern print the correspondent of the North
American makes the following reply:
"a few words will furnish my answer. So far as
Mr.. Clay is referred to in my original statement,
derived the authority from his own lips. So far as
Gen. Taylor is referred to- derived the authority from
his Orn hand and seal.
81 repeat, that may not be misunderstood, that
Gen. Taylor has written, saying that in the event OF
MIR. Clay, any other wing. being selected as the
candidate of the party he would not permit his name
to enter the canvass"
This revelation sheds a flood of light upon the
course of Mr. Clay. We have it it ''from
his own lips" that he will not decline until the whg
convention has declared in favor of Gen. Taylor.
The struggle between these two distinguished COM
petitors WILL therefore, continue until the 7th OF June.
The Lexington Observer, of the 18th instant, fully
confirms this supposition when it the following
language:
"From this time to the 7th of June, think the
great object of the wings should be TO cultivate
much as possible, spirit of forbearance and harmony
that lohoeuer as nominated may receive the cordial
and hearty support of the whole party. After that,
the battle will be alone with the locos and we do moi
fear that any whig will do his full duty, unless he
shall act now to cripple his efforts in the COM
mon cause"
The Clay stock is rising, if we NAV judge from tn,
miscellaneous and dscordant "'Taylor meeting" ant
the 10000 enthusiastic Clay meeting, which hav,
been recently held in the city of New York Union

THIRD MUNICIPALITY COUNCIL "A special
meeting of this body was held last evening. Re
corder Seuzeneau being absent, Mr. Solomon was
chosen to preside but as the chief object of the
extra sitting was discuss the report of the Finance
Committee, presentation the 18th August last, and
he purposed speaking against the adoption of the
report, he yielded the chair to Mr.. Bernard.
A communication from the President of the First
Municipality Council was received through the
Mayor, notifying the Council of the adoption of a
resolution to assist the Third Municipality in re-
pairing the breach in the levee near the Ursuline
convent The message was referred to the I'm
provement Committee, and the thanks of the Coun-
Gil voted to the Council of the First Municipality
for its generous offer.
The order of the day being the report Of the
Finance Committee, and the question pending, a
motion to reject the report, Mr.. Solomon rose and
spoke with great vigor and cearness in favor of the
notion taking ground that the report was erroneous
and inconsistent.
Mr.. Flanders replied IN a speech upwards Of half
an hour long, and it appeared to us, admitting
that Mr.. Solomon had proved the report to contain
some errors, that he showed clearly that the bust
ness of the Municipality had been conducted with
a want of system, and, as consequence, that its
affairs were deranged. Hence the necessity of the
reformation the report calls for. Mr.. +. demon
stra,ed the present financial condition of the Cor
poration to be in depIorable state. The floating
liabilities are being returned in payment of taxes,
and but little is realized in cash. During the last
month, not $500 was received in money, while the
monthly expenses are about $1,000. The revenues
are not available, as they are already pledged. A
loan cannot, therefore, be effected 10 meet immediate
wants, and to issue scrip in payment of work done
or being done would be an injustice to employees
and contractors, inasmuch as further issue would
depreciate the value of the paper of the Munich
pality still lower than it now is. In the meantime,
Improvement is suspended-not a lamp is lit in the
Municipality, and creditors are besieging the
Treasurer in vain.
The debate continued up to a late hour, and
when we left, after o'clock, Mr. Meehan had the
floor, and, judging by the few remarks he made
before we left the Chamber was opposing the report

had her trunk on board when the vessel sailed, be-
fore she was ready. In this way the charge
originated.

the courts here have not cognizancs of the offence.

A METAMoRPHosIs, NOT MURDER--On Sun
day last, frock, petticoat, hustle, &c. &c, were
discovered at the edge of the mill-dam near Boston,
and in such position as to leave no doubt that
they had been hastily cast off by the late wearer
on the spot where they were found. The inference
was, that the lady had Owed, and become, as Man
telini saws, "a demn'd body'' She was angled
for with graphing irons, but in vain The gossip
ping crowd set her down the victim of seduction,
and when they gave up dragging for her corpse, re-
marked that probably in few days the poor fallen
creature would rise. Their toll and their sympathy
were alike thrown away, On Tuesday the owner
of the garments was found. She had merely slip
ped out Of long clothes into small clothes. She
confessed the metamorphosis, and said with sim
per that her name was Sal Dodge-or rather had
been-for at present she reioiced in the name OF
Charles Smith, which she had assumed with the
breeches She said she was eighteen years of age,
and had worked in factory at Lowell, where
finding that women were ''put upon, she resolved
to turn man. Having been Tecaparisoned in petit
coats, she was discharged with a solemn warning
not to make a Joan of Arc of herself again.
