Our New York correspondence.

EDITOR Of the FREEMAK:--
The U. S. Mailship, Marion. arrived here
yesterday, from Charleston, The Steamship,
Florida. from Savannah, also arrived here,
about the same time. The Steamer, y nlon'
started from this port yesterday, for New
Orleans
The steamship, Asia is fully due at this
mort with about three days later news, She
Is in her eleventh day.--The Africa left here,
for Liverpool, at noon, to-day,with over $780,
600, IN coin.
The schooner. Marcissa, from Baracoa, re-
Gently brought us 1900 punches of bananas,
5000 cocoa-nuts, 37bbls. of lines, 7bbls of
ginger, and 20eo pine apples
Il is rumored, that Hon. Daniel Webster,
accompanied by the Ambassadors OF England,
France, Spain, Brazil, Mexico. and some other
nations. will arrive here, tomorrow, By sea,
in the new steamer, Golden Gate.
A new class of Emigrants are arriving at
this port-I mean men of more MEANS and
more used to, and fond Of labor, than the
large majority of those who have hitherto
landed on our shores. A body of Scotch
Highlanders numbering over 700, have, also,
lust embarked for New York-so say the
English papers The Scotch, especially the
Hiehhnders,are hardy and industrious race
and il would give me much pleasure to know,
that our Western country was going to be
thieklv settled BY them. More immigrants
have arrived al this port, from France, also,
within these last sixmonths, than have ever be-
fore arrived in as many years. The French
are not. as race, migratory. They think
there is no place like Ia belle France
Rumors Of an attempt to bribe our Attor-
ney General (Mr. Chat6eld) having been cur
rent for some time past, committee was ap-
pointed by the Senate, 10 investigate the facts;
and no little excitement was created, ,on Thurs
day last by the presentation of communiea-
ton from that officer, (who had failed to ap-
pear before the committee,) wherein he states,
that although $4,000 had been offered him,
if be would refrain from testing the constitu-
ality Of the Canal Loan, STILL as the Bill had
not then passed, he did not deem it criminal
offer. He then continued, by advancing
charges of gross corruption against the menl-
bers and officers of the Legislature; and, in
conclusion, asks, with what consistency can the
Senate pretend to investigate the alleged at
tempt to bribe me, when matters OF such grave
import, affecting their own body, are allowed
to pass uunoticed? % Mr.. Chat6eld alludes, l
presume to the Anti Gambling scrape that
proved so fatal to Mr.. Bull, late Sergent-at-
Arms of the State Senate. and all but did for
three grave Senators. A drunken sailor at
temperance picnic could not create more
CONSERVATION or indignation, than did this cool
letter, amidst our Honorable Senators.
After vehement denunciation of the dar-
ing offender, il was resolved to treat the in-
ssulting communication with contempt, by re-
thor. WhereupOo, the Attorney General
again transmitted il to the House and demand
ed its insertion on the journals.-with what
result have not yet heard. from any relia-
BILE authority.
Martin Van Buren, Henry Clay, Andrew
jackson. Zachry Taylor, John Van Buren,
Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington
have all been committed to the City Prison.
for sunGry misdemeanors, during the present
week. Surely we are coming to pretty pass
1t may be gratifying to somebody TO know,
that Of the above named rogues, John Van
Buren,. Henry Clay. and Zachary Taylor are
negroes; Martin VanBuren and George Wash
.inston are Irishmen; Thomas Jefferson is a
West Indian, and Andrew Jackson is Con-
nectcut Yankee. The Van Burens and Messrs
Clay and jefferson were arrested for stealing
Zachary Taylor and George Washington fol
fighting; and Andrew jackson was hauled
up for collaring policeman-an act perfect
ly in keeping with his name
As !he entire subject of Postage Reform il
equally interesting, to the generalraeder ano
to the Press throughout the UniGn, record
a circumstance which tends to establish the
fact, that radical reform in our Postal ar
rangaments is a desideratum.--A friend o
mine residing in this city, had leetter con
tanning 81 ,5GO0 returned to him, yesterday
from the Dead Letter Office. The letter was
written and mailed in ls4s.-Go ahead
A Clergyman has addressed the Mayor
in the columns of the Tribune, upon the very
important subject of appointing Chaplain Il

parents to send their children to the publ
schools within their respective neighborhoods
and he is TO see that the orphans of his ware
