present ard future teaching of this nation and Of
all nations To the scholar in history, and to the
stnden ut in the morals Of history, however, this ad
dress will afford the mos. delightful perusal. We
commend it to all. How far it will contribute to
advance the prospects OF Mr.. Webster for the
Presidency, is question which must be left for
solution to the Historical Society.
The various proceedings in and near this city,
yesterday, in comm EN- GRAFTON Of the birthday Of
PATER PATRIE, arc also given in our columns in

The speeches made at the Congressional banquet.
On Saturday evening, in Washington, were all
strongly against the intervention principle.
The memorial from the New York Chamber Of
Commerce, for the removal of the United States
Mint to this city was referred to the proper COM
mittee BY the Senate, yesterday. It is hoped that
Congress will soon take into serious considera-
tion the numerous petitions from Virginia and
elsewhere, relative to the establishment Of mint
Of some kind in this metropolis. Such measure
would efectua,ly put q termination to the whole
sse robbery Of citizens from almost every State in
.he Union. upon their return with their earnings
from California. Thousands of miners from the
gold region arrive here with no other treasure than
their dust which they compelled to dispose Of at
great sa,ri6ce, in order to procure immediate ne.
cessities. They are robbed and swinded by class
and if they get or with one half what they landed
with, they Go wen. The only way in which this
ssievous evil can be remeded, is to have min. so
situated that these returned miners can walk
ashore, u axe their Deposits and receive the full
value for their dust

done and TO be done under the contracts of the late
Canal Beard. The hearing on the writ from the
Supreme Court, in the care Of Mr.. Yates, wss COM
nepced at Fords, yes.erday. before Judge Cady.
This is very important matter, as it involves the
conduct of the late Board in awarding the contracts
aud great deal Of interest is manifested in the re-
