Mr.. YUJEE, of Florida, it will be recollected,

seat of Mr. Mallory, on the ground that he
(Yulee) was duly elected Senator, if the blank
votes on one or more Of the ballotings were re-
jected If the Senate decide against him, and
in favor Of Mallory, then they may, on the
same principle, declare the seats Of Mr.. James,
of Rhode Island, and Mr.. Sumner, of Massa-

BosToS, May 12th-11 p. m.--Later from,
Buenos dyres.-The ship Dragon, bringing Bue-
nos Ayres dates Of March 2lst, and Montevideo
adviccs to March 23d, arrived to-day. The
frigate Congress was at Buenos Ayres, bound
on cruise South to the Falkland Islands
The Bainbridge was mt Montevideo. The st.
Louis, Com. McKeever sailed on the 10th. of
March for Rio. At her departure, the Packet
says, every mark of oordialty and respect was
shown.
The drought and the locusts have nearly de-
stroyed the wheat crop, which will be defective
in quantity and quality. In consequence Of
this, breadstnffs have advanced. The price of
country -four as compared with that paid last
season has advanced 200 per cent, and Indian
corn has advanced 100 per cent. within q month.
The ports remained closed against foreign grain,
but, should the scarcity prove real, the restric-
ton viii doubtless be removed. American -four,
on board, is worth from $7697.50 for exporta-
ton, with some demand for the interior pro-
vinces. ' a.7
The political news is unimportant. The inn
prisonment of Gen. Reverria was looked upon rs
pacific indication, but the renewed treaty be-
tween Brazil and Paraguay had, in measure,
neutralized this effect. The Interior movements
of the Brazilian Cabinet are likely to be affected
by the fate Of the Lefredonic commotion in the
French Assembly.

JouRSEYMES PRINTERS IN PARIS. Mr.. Walsl

JoURNEYMEN PRINTERS IN PARIs.-Mr. Walsh
says in one of his letters: Having observed your
controversy with journeymen printers, | was
led, last week, to inquire of NJ Gnlignani what
he paid for the work on his famous Messenger.
He informed me that much more was allowed
in Paris for printing in foreign language than
in French, and more, Of course, for journals than
books OF pamphlets. He allows from thirty-six
TO seventy francs per week, according to the
capacity and diligence of the compositor. There
is very little piece-work comparatively. en-
close for you the rates in his Office. A first
rate journeyman, on the French journals, get:
fifty francs per week-twelye dollars. Fifteer
days notice is given ON each side when a sepa
ration is meditated II is not the custom tc
take apprentices, properly so called. Lads are
employed, who may earn, after two or three
months, from three to five or seven francs, and
so on. In September, 1843, tariff Of prices
for work IMAM d'euUre) was discussed and
adopted by delegates from masters and work.
men; il has not been formally changed since
it is prefxed in q small pamphlet to the regu-
lations, filing twenty pages, of the Typograph-
ical Society of Paris, which, / presume, are
known--and certainly deserve to be so-in New
York. The laws passed in 1913, only by the
French legislative assembly, against the coali-
.tions of workmen for the reduction of wages,
Tor increase, which !? are exceedingly severe.
The debates were earnest and instructive. The
subject becomes important in proportion to the
size Of the cities and the pressure Of business.
Strikes have been comparatively unfrequent
within the two years past.

The news from the mines in Lower California
has at length assumed tangible shape. A
company of the citizens of San Diego, who went
out prospecting, brought back reports and spe-
cimens that proved that an abundance Of gold
may be obtained in that region without the
miner incurring the hardships of a rigorous
northern climate.

LAW REToRM.--It is stated in a London paper
received by the last steamer that Lord Broug-
ham has introduced his bill for enabling parties
to suits at common law to be examined as VII
nesses. The Lord Chancellor gave an ungra-

EMIGRATION TO LIBERIA. The Maryland
Colonization Journal confirms the rimors that
have been in circulation, of large party of free
colored persons in this city making preparations
to emigrate for Liberia, on or about the 1st Of
July. The Rev. Jacob Moore, the founder and
for some years the pastor of the colored Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in Howard street, is the
leader in the movement, which embraces twenty
five respectable and Industrious families, num-
bering fully one hundred persons. Bali. Pat.

FARMERS AND MEoHASIos.--It is perverted
public sentiment that esteems the industrial
pursuits more humble than clerkships and trade,
and assigns to the producing classes a lower
grade in social life than is awarded to the mer-
camille portion of the community. The adage
Of Pope, "Act well your part there all the honor
lies, is sublime truth; it should nerve the souls
Of our farmers and mechanics to assert the dig
nifty Of their calngs, as the true and only sources
of the public wealth, and to maintain their
claim to personal respectability But to do
this successfully they must cultivate their
minds and manners, and see to it that, in sci
encc and general knowledge and refinement,
they are not behind those whose delicate pur-
suits have generally secured the pre-eminence
in personal adornment and social elevation.
Let them take the illustrious Franklin for their
model, and emulate other mechanics who have
risen to wealth and high public respect, and
they will never have occasion to be ashamed OF
their business or condition of life.

CoNNEcTIcuT.-On Wednesday last Governor
Seymour communicated his message to the
Legislature Of Connecticut 1t; is short, and
treats almost exclusively Of local affairs. Among
his recommendations are a general banking
law, law reform, the abolition of capital pun
ishment, homestead exemption, and law lin
iting the hours Of labor for children under four
teen years of ageto eight hours per day. He
urges faithful, loyal obedience to the late law
of Congress known as the Compromise mea-
sures and says that :" one and all of the pro-
visions must be supported in good faith, or we
cannot hope to see this form of government
continue. That part Of the recent series of
statutes which come nearest home to us, and
CRATES harshly, perhaps, on the feelings of the
North, has firm constitutional basis, and is
equally entitled to the support of this and every
other section Of the country. 1t is designed to
carry out that provision of the Constitution
which originally met with no opposition from
any quarter whatever.
Passing over what has already been done
to keep the peace of this country, may not
say that one thing more is wanting-a return
to that spirit Of Cancellation which, in the early
days of the Republic, gave to the Union its
greatest strength and only security for the
future?"
