Correction.

we stated the other day that the Whig
Review favored the nomination of Scott for
the Presidency. Our glance at the Reviews
article was hasty, and having since given it
a careful perusal, we find we were mistaken.
The writer pays handsome compliment to
Gen. Scott for his military services; is satis-
fled he would make a good President, but
prefers Mr.. Webster. Mr.. Fillmore, also,
comes in for share of fulsome praise and
wordy compliment. The writer says if
MIR. +. was elected to the office his public
career would expire at the end of hisJterm
and the country would consequently loose
some twenty years Of his valuable services
whereas, were he to stand back for Daniel
there would be strong probability oil his
receiving the nomination in 1856. The
soap used by the Review is entirely too soft
the Generals friends wont stand il; nei-
ther will Mr.. Fillmore's.

the present whig administration. Its reve-
lation is as follows
at is we'll for the foreign public really TO
understand why the New York opponents of
Mr.. Fillmore denounce him. and what they
are after. The aohy they denounce him is,
that he is not and never has been a8able
manin The way of plunder. No money can
be made out Of him, save in an honest, hon.
orable way. What they arc after, is The res
toration Of Galphin era, when they can
use the federal government treasury, Just as
they have been using the canal lettings and
the bank canal-fund in this State.'
THE restora tion Of the Galphin era p
use the federal government treasury just
as they have been using the canal lettings
and the bank canal-fund," &c. Well, this
is owning up to some things which the
wings have been rather anxious to conceal.
The Express, however. should have been a
little more explicit, and told lis readers
whether the election of Scott or Webster
or either Of them, would restore the Gal
phin era"

Hunts Magazine, innoticIng the pyoposed
alienation in our currency, bill for which
has been introduced into Congress BY Mr..
Hunter sindulges in some remarks as 10 the
best mode Of eiiec,ing the change that al
present seems necessary in, order to keep our
silver at home. In these remarks, we find a
very lucid explanation Of the cause which
led TO the expectation of such vast amount
Of our specie. during the last fall, which we
copy for the benefit of those who may have
been befcgged in the mist thrown about The
affair by certain Protectionists:
The recent premium on silver will. in all
probability, be fully sustained. Not that it
will remain unchanged from time to time.
but that 1t will raise and fall above and be-
low "a or 3 per cent. presuming an average
depreciation Of at least this amount. A spf-
ficient reason for this is the fac. that in all
the countries OF Europe, ten of our silver dol
lars are worth more than our gold eagle, &C.
cording 70 their legal standard value of these
TWO metals. II is not necessary, therefore, 10
enter into any abstract discussions on the
change Of relative value in gold and silver
bullion brought about by the increased ro-
duction OF gold in Russia, California, and
Australia. The question is far more simple.
we are large producers Of gold; we are thus,
BY necessity, exporters. II merchant has q
debt to pay in France, which he can dis
charge, according to the French laws, either
BY lOO grains Of gold or | $50 grains Of sill.
yer, and the 100 grains of gold are worth
here, at Cur mint, the same as 900 grains of
silver, the imperative law of self.interest will
induce the merchant 10 send abroad silver
rather than gold. In Holland the ratio is the
same as in France. In England and Russia
the ratio is still lower. The gain in sending
silver to France and Holland is over 3 per
cent, and to Russia it is more than per cent.
AS gold is the only legal tender in England,
the inducement to send silver there is not so
great, but the market value of bullion in Lon
don will always be near the market value on
the continent, especially when the course of
exchange may lead TO the export Of coin from
the British ports to the other countries ofl
Europe. As long, therefore. as our present
laws remain unchanged, premium of2, 3,
Or 4 per cent on silver may be anticipated
with great confidence. When the export of
coin was only occasional, and when the for
eign gold we had imported could often be ex-
ported in soyereigns, which were not recoin-
I'd abroad, this difference in the values of gold
md silver did not make itself sensible. But
now our expectations being in American gold |
It's value is estimated abroad as bullion, and
.hus the difference becomes manifest.

Wreck of Fifty Sealing Vessels in the
Ice-Great Loss of Life.

The steamer Osprey from St. John, N. F.,
April 23d, has arrived at Halifax, with ac-
counts OF the wreck of between fifty and six.
ty vessels in the ice in the gale of April Doth
The Newfoundland papers state that the loss
oil Lille has been considerable, how great is no,
known. A list of eighteen vessels lost with
full cargoes of skins, is given, one of which
had five of her crew drowned and another
two. In many cases, as the vessels drifted
towards the ice, the crews deserted them and
escaped TO the shore. In some cases the a.
bandoned vessels have been taken into port.
Hundreds Of the crews of the wreck YES
selsar said 10 be on Richard Island, Bona
vista Bay. in state Of destituion and star
vation. The Assembly Of Newfoundland has
requested the Governor to appropriate f3OO
for their relief, and -four OF five vessels would
sail to them as soon as the wind would per.
init. A vessel had arrived at st. John, which
reported that upwards Of one thousand ship
wrecked sealers had reached Greenford, but
the number isprobably exaggerated.
The disaster is said TO be nearly equal 10
that at Prince Edward Island last year.-Bos.

The collIns Zinc. Of steamers.

The Company owning the above named
line, as our readers ore perhaps aware, has
applied to Congress for a further increase OF
pay for carrying the mails between New
York and Liverpool, and bill is under dis
cussion granting $4,000 per trip of each
steamer The contract at present existing
between the Company and Government is
for carrying the mail semi-monthly during
the eight temperate months andmonthly du-
ring the four winter months, for which the
company receives $4,000 per trip. Until
lately this arrangement also existed between
the Cunard line and the British Government,
but said line is now running semi-monthly
packets the year round, thus monopolizing
the mails during the four months in which
the Collins Line make but monthly trips
The American Company say they are losing
on an average $l6,92S 79 every trip they
make under their contract, and cannot,
/ therefore increase the number of trips with
ou: more pay. That their capital stock, of
three millions of dollars has paid no divi-
dends and has been reduced by losses to
abou two and half millions; and that it is
now selling at SO cents on the dollar. The
expense Of each voyage is put down at $685.
PIG GA, an immense sum, and from the
speeches Of several members, entirely
too large. Mr.. Underwood, of KY, is Of
opinion that $4,000 economically expen-
ded, would cover the whole cost Of each trip.
He was willing to increase the pay from
Sl9, 900 to $25, 900, but considered the sum
fixed in the bill ($3S, ,00O) exorbitant.

women SO devoted to progress and improve
ment, cannot fail to stand high in inlelli-

we have heard of ladies presenting banners,
