NEW ORLEANS, June 9.-By an arrival at
this port to-day we have advices from Vera
Cruz to the 30th ult., four days later.
Congress did not adjourn until the 23d, and
every thing was in the utmost confusion.
The bill in favor of extraordinary powers to
the President had failed.
Yellow fever was raging fatally at Vera Cruz
The American schooner Helen Moore had
been seized at Mazatlan, her rigging destroyed,
and soldiers placed on board the vessel. The
captain had protested against the proceedings.
The revenue cutter Duane had left Vera Cruz
for the isthmus, as also the schooner Sears.
The Tehuantepec survey has been completed.

ARIsTocRAcY.--Iany are the follies and
weaknesses of human nature. But none are
more contemplate than those acted out by the
scrub aristocruts of our towns and villages.
These are to be found in all relations Of life. A
young man, whose father was a hard-working
mechanic, either has moderate fortune left
behind him, or marries few thousand dollars.
and forthwith he puts on airs and assumes an
Importance, perfectly disgusting to those who
are acquainted with the circumstances of his
rise and progress in the world Such young
men regard, as beneath their dignity, the voca-
tions of their parents, and not unfrequently
avoid letting it be known that they sprung from
such sources. We have met with such who
have looked upon the humble vocation of me-
chanic as beneath the dignity of gentleman,
forgetting in the meanwhile that the taint of
the father attaches to the son Pride of this
kind never finds a resting place, save in weak
brain, and manifests itself in perverse temper.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CArIToL.-Our infor-
nation on this subject is, that the President
and Cabinet have decided precisely as was sta
ted in our teegraphic dispatches ten days ago
although some of our smart contemporaries
have revived the intelligence as something quite
new-upon the principle Of extending the pres
ent edifce by wings to the north and SOUTH
with connecting corridors. No particular plan,
and no additional details have yet been settled
nor win any choice be made until the President
has consulted more fully with those who are
experienced and able TO solve any doubts which
may exist.
The selection of Mr.. Thomas L. Walter, o
this city, as the architect to superntend thu
proposed extension, has been received with
cordial expression of favor here, where his sci
entifc attainments and peculiar fitness are SC
well understood 1t is but n just respect to this
city, where so many edifces of architectural
beauty are to be found, that one "to the
manor born" who has been reared amongst
us, and who has erected a noble monument to
his fame in one of the most classic structures
of the times-the Girard College-should have
been chosen for this responsible post by which
selection the President has not only offered a
merited compliment to Philadelphia, but has
manifested a just appreciation of the talent
which she is able to furnish in this or any other
Of the walks Of science.-FhHa. NorM .4mn

AN OLD PRlNTER-A. W. Scowell, printer 80
years of age+-the oldest in the United States
commenced his apprenticeship of seven years
in the Kings Printing Office, London, in 1884,
sixty-eight years ago. The Boston Nail says :
g He was a soldier under Sir John Moore, at
Corinna, in 1909, where he received ball in
his right arm. He was present at the burial of
Sir John, and remembers the minutest particu-
lars of the scene. He was also with the Duke Of
Wellington through his whole campaign, and
lost an ankle bone by grape-shot in the battle
OF Waterloo This veteran typo, after all TN 5
hard service, is one of the swiftest and best
compositors in Boston.
