NEW YORK, Feb. tt, 1851.
The Herald of this morning contains complete
list of the articles shipped board the rgate South
amPtom, destined for the London Fair. There are
about $50 different contributions, besides about $50
more on the way here from the city of Notions, for
which the sailing of the frigae delayed. The
contributions from Boston the Yankee cabinet of
curosities Numerous that the revenue cutter
Forward could not contain them, and schooner had
to be chartered in addition.
The whig general COMMITTEES held an exciting meet
ing on Tuesday night, when after stormy debate,
the silver grey delegates from the ninth ward were
admitted, and the Seward excluded. Resolutions
also adopted strongly in favor of sustaining the
present national administration, and calling upon the
Legislature to elect man for United States Sena-
tor who would not openly avow and define his posi-
ton before placing him in that responsible position.
The " Silver Greys'' are Fillmore men. and the

LIEUTENANT GENERAL.

On Thursday last, in the Senate, the joint Resolu-
ton creating Lieutenant General of the army OF
the United States, was considered and passed-Yeas
%, nays %. Mr.. Badger voted for it.
The object of this Resolution is to confer this title
on Gen. Scott. During the Mexican War, when, if
ever, this rank and the power is intended to carry
with it, was needed, Mr.. Polk recommended to Con-
gress the creation of such officer; and this
mendaton received with ridicule and denunca-
lion the part of the Wing opposition. Nou, in a
time of profound peace, when Wig is to be bene-
fitted by the honor, Wing Senators found press
ing this new Office and insisting upon it as matter
OF much importance. We are opposed to the whole
concern. We have got along thus far, without a
Lieutenant General and we have thrashed our enc
mics at all points occasion required it, under Major
Generals and Brigadiers; and good
reason why-especally at time like this-such an
Office should be created.
But Gen. Scott, it is surmised, is to be the next
Wing candidate for the Presidency; and this, we
suppose, constitutes with some Wing Senators suf
fcent reason for creating this new Office.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 28-5 p. M.
Since the strong vote cast in the Maryland Reform
Convention, on Friday last, of 60 is against the
great American and republ lean doctrine of Fepresen
taton according to population, all hopes have been
given up of any reform being granted by the present
convention adequate to the deinards>of tie people.
1t is now evident that two-thirds of its members
sought seats in the convention with the intention of
defeating rather than promoting true. conventional
reform. Even those who have taken the lead in the
reform movement that has agitated the State for so
many years have become suddenly lukewarm, and
have not been in their seats on an average than
one day per week since rhe meeting OF the conven-
ton. The expense of the convention to the State
will not be less than 500 900 and doubt that
the constitution that they will form will be rejected
by the vote of the people,.
The remains of the gallant Wells and McComas,
the heroes of North Point. from whose rifles sped

brave men, who were members of this gallant corps,
Letters from Havana, received in New York from
parties who should know, state that Jenny Lind will
be back in that city early in April and that she will
give concerts at Castle Garden at the comparatively
low price of 81 per ticket-her contract with Barnum
closing on her return to New York. 1t is also said
that she will not go to London but continue another
season in the United States.
Maryland contains some $4,000 slaves, and North
Carolina some 100000. This Correspondent, who
seems to ,orte without thinking to any very great
tent depores the defeat of what he is pleased
L" the great American and republican doctrine of rep.
resentaton according to population in the State oil
Maryland and this defeat of this principle has taken
place. it must be borne in mind, in State possess
ing only $4,000 slaves! The '' great American and
republican doctrine is, ding to our judg
that taxation and representation should go together
government based on mere numbers, can afford nc
substantial security to those who pay the taxes and
contribute to the support of that government and
its public works. Base the government person.
and things-on persons of all and on taxable'
of whatsoever kind, and then let every free white
man vote for those who are to make the laws. Tha
is the true doctrine, in judgment This isthe way
in which North Carolina has adjusted and settled the
matter, and that settlement is not likely to be dis
turbed. E.
1t appears that the Maryland Convention will no
cost less than hundred thousand dollars and that
after all, the people will most probably reject the
Constitution at the polls!

MANY of opinion, says the Baltimore Argus,
that the most certain way TO eradicate this disease Of
northern fanaticsm, and to destroy the beast called
northern aboitionism, is for Congress torepea that
law which makes the slave trade with Africa piracy
When the abolitionists again enjoy the privilege
of stealing negroes from Africa, and selling them in
the Southern States it is thought that they will then
become the strongest advocates both of slavery and
the fugitive slave law. They such devoted phi.
anthropsts that they think it highly wrong permit
the poor negroes to- be born live, and to die, IL
their native land, without any knowledge of thelrf
Creator and his Holy laws, and therefored, desire TO-
steal them away and sell them in civilized lands,
where they may enjoy the benefits of civilization and:
christianity. There is no doubt that the restoration
to them of this privilege will efectpaly relieve them
of their abolition notions, and induce thcm enforce
the provisions of the fugitive, slave law.

to be used prisons for fugitive slaves or the u s..
soldiers to prevent queil mob. The Washington

for the former, and called upon Mr. Rsncher to

MR. BAYNE: My attention has been directed to
publication in the Observer of the 2Ist instant under
the caption of " Mr.. Renchers letter." in which it
appears that the Republic - charges Mr.. Rencher
with making false statements in regard appca-
ton from the Marshal of Massachusetts the Exec
uIve of the United States, for authority to use the
ships in the harbour of Boston for the of
fugitive slaves, and to cali the troops of Boston
to overcome combinations that might be formed
sist the execution of the fugitive slave law.
Now 1t happened that was visit to Boston,
also in pursuit of runaway slave, and arriving there
several days previous to Mr.. Rencher, l conversed
frequently with the Marshal the sub ect of ares
ting the fugitives. AT length he informed that he
couIO ger no assistance from the SIate dutnorltleS,
that the ailor had notified him that the State prison
should not receive the fugitive slave; that the abo-
tionsts would doubtless raise mob and resist him
in the execution OF the law and that his alternative
was to apply to the Executive of the u. States for
the troops at Boston TO support him in the exercise of
his duty, and that he would also apply for cutter or
naval vessel to be used a prison ship. On the
day he advised me that his letters of application
had been despatched TO Washington. In my hearing,
the Marshal of Massachusetts stated to Mr.. Rencher
in substance all that is represented in Mr.. Renchers
letter in regard to his application the Executive for
troops and U. S. shipping
