'OrrespOndsnss Of the BsItimor. Patsiot.l
WAsHINqron. March D 20

WARRINGTON, March %. '52.
Mr.. Soule made his expected
speech to-day, and il was the most
remarkable one Of the sessiou-elo-
qusnt and splendid throughout, but,
with great respect be it said, to nv
thinking il was sophistical. Never.
theless, il contained such admirable
bursts Of eloquence as would De ike
Iy to lead our whole population cap
tive, could Il have been heard by all.
Mr.. Soule is certainly one OF the
most gifted orators in the country.
The subject was interVentioR.-
The object OF the first part OF the
speech was to show, in the teeth Of
the Farewell Address, that the nom
Intervention policy Of Washington
was intended, not as a permanent,
but temporary system.
24th.-Mr. Bell of Tenn, is to re-
ply to Mr.. Soule on Monday next.
The Senate took up the bill for
Navy Yard at San Francisco, aud
Mr.. Gwin made an able speech in
favor of the bill, and was followed
by Mr.. Brodhead on the other side.
The Deficiency bill drags its
Iengthening chain slowly along in
the House, and it is difficult TO tell
when and how il will end.
25th.-Senate.-M T. Brodhead
made a speech on the California dock
bill.
In the House the bill to divide the
State OF OHIO into two judicial dis
!ficts, and regulating the holding Of
district and circuit courts therein,
was taken up, and ordered to be en-
crossed.
26th.-ISenate.-A message was
received from the President, setting
forth that a certain claimant had
managed, in fraudulent manner, to
abstract certain papers belonging to
the Mexican Commissioners which
had been lodged in the department
Of the Secretary Of State.
The message endorses the opinion
ol the Attorney General, that there
is no law to punish such an offence.
The President recommended that a
law be passed, making such an Of
fence penal.
Adjourned until Monday.
The House spent the 26th and
9th on the deficiency bill.

INTERESTING FROM MExIco.-Late
advices from Mexico state that the
letter Of Jonas P. Levy to the Presi-
dent OF Mexico, written with view
to prevent the ratification Of the
Tehuantepec treatv, was shown to
Mr.. Letcher, the U. S. Minister in
Mexico, by the Mexican officials,
and he was allowed to take a copy
Of il. This was transmitted to the
U. S. Government.
The indemnity Of Sl5.000,OOO
from the United States being pretty
we'll exhausted, the bankrupt govern
ment Of Mexico will soon he COM
PEELED to resort TO some other extra
ordinary means to replenish their
treasury.
A very extensive conspiracy exists
against the present administration,
and in favor of the recall and restora-
ton of Santa Anna. Mr.. Letcher
is. no doubt, pretty well informed on
this point. In the event of the re-
turn Of Santa Anna to power, the
Gary grant of the Tehuantepec
route may be attempted to be trans
ferred to the exclusive possession Of
British capitalists.

heretofore referred to it, soliciting
the aid Of the Government in estab-
fishing sundry lines Of steamers, pro-
posed to be run from different ports of

This act on the part of the Senate may
be taken as an expression Of its judg-

amongst which were the lines proposed
to be put in operation to Ireland, to Af-

the opportunity this circular affords
to say for the Information Of County
Auditors, Township Assessors, &c,
that the Tax Law under which the
assessments of 1852 must be made
(unless special act reviving tempo
rarily the former one shall be pass
ed, y is not likely to receive the final
action of the Legislature until late
in the coming month. 1t is proba-
BILE, therefore, that Township Asses
sors will be delayed entering on their
duties until some time between the
first and fifteenth Of March. II the
time which may be LEFT, shall be too
short for them TO get through their
duties within the period limited by
law, they will probably be author

ACCIDENT TO THE BUCKEYE SrArE.

ACCIDENT TO THE DUCkEYE OTATE'
The steamer Buckeye State, on
her last trip up. bursted one Of her
connection pipes, by which three
men were scalded. We clip the
following particulars from the Pitts
burgh Gazette, of Monday. 1t is
rare that an accident happens to any
OF the Packets, and we believe this
is but the second one that has result
ted in the loss Of life since the line
has been established. The Packets
are all officered by experienced river
men.
The steamer Buckeye State arri-
we'd here on Saturday night. Our
readers will remember that we pub
lished a brief account received by
telegraph. OF an accident that hap
dened near Steubenville. We learn
from the officers that Thos. M'Kett-
nick, of, it is believed, M'Keesport,
jumped overheard, when the steam
pipe burst, and was drowned.
A Mr.. Sweeny, whose residence
was in the vicinity Of Wellsvilie.
was so badly scalded that he died on
Fridady night. A man whose name
is unknown, was landed at Steuben-
vile, and was very badly scalded.
Four deck passengers and one
fireman, altogether, were badly
scalded.

Boston, and most OF the cities Of the
Union, in which medical schools are
located, are supplied with dead

Potter's Field, but that the cemete-

desecrated. The coroner will in

The Rochester Democrat finds the
following satisfactory reasons against
the inte:marriage of relations, and
in favor Of elopements:
"The nobility OF England, heredi.
tarily exempt from toll, and surroun-
ded by comforts and luxuries not Of
their own procurement, are found in
a few generations to languish and
die out unless the stock is reinvigora-
ted by the infusion, by stealth, of the
harder material from the ranks OF
the plebeians. This, like many other
things that shock the upper hemis-
phere OF society, carries out the wise
providence, or the absolute necessity
of nature. Romantic love affairs,
then, in which LAZY Wilhelminia
elopes with her cOachman or gar
dener, are not to be regarded as such
shocking affairs after ALL"
