it was stated that the large new building
opposite the Navy Department had sus-
tanned considerable damage; but, on a

MIR. segar's speech ON Prescription

Our Richmond correspondent, in letter
which we published yesterday, alluded in
terms Of commentator to the speech re-
Gently made in the Virginia Legislature
by Mr.. SreAR, in reply to the charges of
prescription which have been made by the
Locofoco party against the present Admin
istration. We have read Mr.. SEcAR's
speech, and we think that he establishes
very conclusively that the Administration,
so far from being guilty Of pursuing pro-
scriptiue policy towards our opponents,
have not yet done full justice to the
Wines. We have been very much struck
by many Of the facts stated by Mr.. SEeAR,
and shall take occasion to referto them in
a day or two more in detail. Meanwhile
we would be obliged to our Richmond cor
respondent Tor another copy Of the speech,
as we design that which he has kindly fur
nished us for friend who is engaged in
the consideration Of IFS topics in another
quarter

By separating himselffrom the greatbody of

By separating himself from the great body Of
our southern Wing friends on that occasion,
we thought that he had rendered his position
somewhat equivocal and ambiguous. We
knew that the majority of his constituents
were among the best Who's in the coun-
try, and that they were friendly to the
election OF Mr.. WINTHROP as Speaker Of
the House of Representatives. We knew,
therefore, that he did not represent the
WIGS of the South, nor his constituents,
nor the friends of the Administration,
when he opposed the election Of Mr.. VIM
THRoP. We knew no one whom he repre-
scented on that occasion but Mr.. MORTON of
Virginia, and we thought it right to leave
the development Of his position to time
and circumstances. If this was injustice,
we have been guilty Of it. If it was in
justice, we regret it. That it was gross
injustice to permit gentleman who was
only known to the Wings of the nation by
his opposition to the Wing nominee for
the Speakership to define his-faith by his
works, we deny.
We will republish Mr.. MoRToN's speech,
not as an act of justice to him., but as an
act Of justice to ourselves. 1t establishes
very clearly, in our judgment, that we
had no right, under the circumstances, to
define Mr.. MoRToN's position. As this
is what he contends for, we do not see
that we differ at all in the premises. We
did not define his position. We shall
therefore reprint the speech at our earliest
convenience.

A meeting was held in Jackson, Missis-

letter of the Congressional representatives
of that State, together with the message
Of Governor QUrTMAN, on the California

Administration with but one dissenting
voice; and that, the Vicksburg Wing says,
belonged to gentleman known to be more

tons generally.

NTE are indebted to the publisher, Mr.. Casmir
wv Bohn, of this city, for splendid photographic
view of the city Of Washington and Georgetown,
and the adjacent country, including, upon the

public buildings and other objects of interest in the
city and vicinity. The view to have been
taken from the terrace at the Capitol, and embraces
the whole range of Pennsylvania avenue, and the
remaining portion of the city westward from that
point. 1t is very correct and very faithfully
Washington and its vicinity which we have ever
seen. 1t forms beautiful and pleasing picture
and will be deemed very desirable ornament for
the parlor. II is work involving great labor on
that of the publisher, which we trust may be amply
remunerated by liberal and generous patronage
on the part of the public. II may be had of Mr..
Bohn the publisher at his stand at the Capitol and
probably at the stores of the booksellers in this
city.-Union. Feb. 26-T&S4w

LATE From BRAzIL AND THE RIvER PLATE.-By
the arrival here yesterday Of the bark W. H. ID. G.
Wright, Captain Worthington, from Rio the 5th
ultmo, have received files OF the formal do Co
ptrcto, of that port, 10 the 9th ultimo, inclusive
The coffee crop is, all along expected, eI-
trcmely meagre throughout Brazil. The following
information relative 70 that article, IL contained in
letter TO a commercial house in this city, dated
Rio, January 7th
Coffee had advanced in the Rio market from
81 a bH200 10 $500 sH. The stock on hand was
only 10000 bags, and prices had a decided upward
tendency, from the expectation that the next news
from Europe and from the United States would
nounce still higher prices ruling in both countries
The shortness Of the crop was now beginning 10 be
felt, the receipts trifiing in the extreme,
being, on an average, 500 bags daily. Dealers
have price for coffee, and II Is supposed that
will be the current rate after the arrival Of the De-
cember packet from England, the latest news from
England being 10 the 18th November, quoting cof-
fee at as. Sd. 1.-THE December packet took out
quotations Of 4ss. 3D., with upward tendency,
and large orders for purchase accompanied En-
change on London has advanced 10 2sI TO 2s.."
We take from the formal do Comerci0, Of the 9th
ultimo, the following items:
We learn that the British war-steamer Cormo
rant captured the day before yesterday, off San Sc
bastisn, bark under the Brazilian flag, which bore
strong marks Of having recently disembarked a
cargo Of slaves The Cormorant took her in tow,
and Il is said was returning with her TO this port
Yesterday, about noon, was stabbed in the back
Of the American ship Hercules, which put in here
on her way 10 California. We learn that the
gcons called In do not consider the wound mortal.
II appears that on the passage 70 Rio the captain
found Il necessary 10 chsstise boy board for
bad behaviour, and his arrival in this port he dis
charged him. Yesterday the boy, in company with
his brother, recently arrived from Bahia, met the
captain ON Phsroux's quay, and commenced abus
ing him in the foulcst language. The latter, in
order TO avoid scene, turned his back on his az.
gressors and directed his steps toward neighbor-
ing store. At this moment Captain Msdigan was
stabbed as above stated. by the brother Of the boy
whom he had brought out on the Hercules Both
the brothers were arrested.
The formal OF the 9th January announces the
arrival at Rio the previous day, Of the British war
steamer HAPPY. from Montevideo.. sne. brought
papers up 10 the 18th December, but the formal
'tstes that nothing Of importance had occurred in
