spondent OK" of the Baltimore Sun, thus dis
courseth:
cit seems now to be a fixed fact that no more
claims are to be allowed by the Treasury, and
no more money paid out, no matter on what &C
count, and however backed by reason or justice
For fear of being called "Galphins," they have
buttoned up their pockets, and, in answer tc
any call for justice, they simply reply, "You
ask too much" There are men who are sucf
f1irts that they dare not be petits soias will
their own wives for fear of being held respon
| sible."
''There WiU be changes in the Cabinet soon
but not before some of the apparent difficulties
and troubles are settled. Mr.. Webster, should
he go out, will leave no important business un-
settled. Mr. Corwin has no taste for office, and
has no disposition to remain, beset as he is on
all sides by grumblers. Mr.. Webster will, nc
doubt, be nominated for the Presidency in Mas
sachusetts and will make formidable candi-
date. Should he leave the Cabinet about the
middle of January or SO, there will still be Mr.
Crittenden, probably promoted to the Secreta-
ryship Of State,) who will be q rival Of Mr.
Fillmore, though not prominent one. The
other members Of the Cabinet, with the excep-
ton of Messrs. Corwin and Hall, are candidates
for the Vice Presidency"

The Austrian Press, says the Philadelphia
Sun, expresses the most violent indignation
that such fattering preparations have been
made in England for the reception of '.the
traitor Kossuth." The Lloyd, which is supposed
now and then to represent the opinions of
Prince Schwarzenberg, has leader, in which
the writer INDUCES in language infinitely more
forcible than elegant. The usual conventional
forms are completely set aside, and the honor
able Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and the
member Of the Common Council of the British
metro with their civic brethren of South
amp re heartily abused. As they have no
idea OF political liberty, they cannot understand
why the British government does not feel itself
called on to interfere with the intended mani
festations in favor Of Kossuth. The good Wen
nese are, however, of opinion that the article
in the Lloyd, in which the city gentlemen figure
as " the stupid and well-fattencd," win produce
no little effect in England.

DISCOVERIES IN JAPANESE LITERATURE.--An
American ship-ofwar, cruizing in the Japanese
seas, picked up the crew of vessel of that
country, which had been wrecked Lieutenant
Tennyson, of the revenue cutter Polk, sends to
the Secretary Of the Navy a copy of the Japan
csc alphabet, which is executed apparently by
hand, but with so much skill, it is said, that
the work might readily be mistaken for litho-
graphy; list of the names of the Japanese
sailors, with their autograph signatures in the
Japanese character; a representation Of the
compass found with them, and the Japanese
numerals The alphabet, as represented by
Lieutenant Tennyson's diagram, contains forty
eight characters, which consist Of straight,
oblique, parallel, crooked, and angular lines
and marks, resembling thick and ragged scrawls
with bad quill pen. The letters and names
stand in perpendicular columns, and the order
of reading is to begin with the right-hand col
umn and read down--the reverse of our method
These discoveries prove that the Japanese are
people among whom learning has been cult
waited; and a hope is expressed that through
the rescued seamen, more successful attempt
will be made to open communication with
that people.-PhR Ledgcr.

MORSE VS.. BAIN.-In the trial of the tele-
graph case, in the United States Circuit Court,
at Philadelphia, Judge Kane decided that Pro-
fessor Morse was the inventor Of the art Of
telegraphiDg, by recording at distance letters
or marks which would be perfectly understood
by persons employed for the purpose; and, as
such inventor the Balm line infringes upon his
claims, although it accomplishes the object by
means varying from those used by Professor
Morse. The court accordingly directed de-
cree and injunction to be issued, guarantying
the Professors rights ON all points. But it is
understood that the case will be carried up to
the Supreme Court.

THE PooR.-What is to become Of them !?
Winter, with its chilling frosts, its cold bleak
winds, its long and dreary nights, its solemn
loneliness, is about settling upon us: and they
are not provided for! 1t behooves US to look
after and screen them-to contribute to the al
deviation Of their troubles and sorrows. How
many poor families are there now in our city
destitute of clothing and shelter-destitute of
the necessaries Of life-hunger- pinched forlorn
objectsi Could they be summoned together
and presented to our view, how heart-rending
would be the pictured We hope they may be
provided for. Measures should be taken to make
them comfortable and we would suggest that
meetings be held in the wards, committees APP
pointed to ascertain the number in INDECENT
circumstances, and collections made to enable
them to buffet the storms and encounter the
elements Of hoary winter BY doing this, the
worthy poor would be found out, and it would
prevent in measure the repeated calls upon
our charities made by unknown and irrespon-
sible persons
