my embodying the reports of the business of the
week, which should include the transactions OF this
morning, and they will be covered by my next
ADVICE. There seems to be increasing cause of diff.
terence between the Consul General Of Great Bri-

OF the slave trade, and some imposition of the au-
thorltles OF Cuba upon English subjects and there
have been periods in the official intercourse upon
the subject when It was supposed that Mr. Craw.
ford would demand his passports; but they have

The ERIcssoN.-Itis scarcely necessary for us to
repeat our entire confidence in the success of this
great improvement. The speed obtained in the
trial trip has nothing to do with the question whe-
ther Captain Ericsson has or has not discovered
and applied new motive power If, instead of
eight or ten miles an hour, the Ericsson had made
only two miles per hour, we should have had equal
confidence in the ultimate success of this the
greatest discovery of the age. But having at once
achieved success which even the discoverer did
not anticipates nothing is left to conjecture Caloric
is motive power which can be furnished at one
sirth the cost of steam. and it requires vivid i'm
aglnation to foresee the consequences to the world
ofthis discovery and its application to commerce.
AS stationary power its influences upon the labor
of the world are only to be exceled by its effects
upon the commerce and the intercourse of nations:
and if wisely exercised this great discovery ia de-
stined to benefit the whole world without doing in.
jury to any p rtion of it.
We have heard it said that this discovery will
depreclate the price of coal Precisely the reverse
is the fact If it be what we believe it is then with
the exception of the whaler and some coasting
craft, sails will be driven from the ocean, and hun.
dreds OF tons ofcoal will be required where 1.-THE of
the quantity now sufhces. Nor will any steamer
now supplied with steam engines suffer loss from
this discovery The saving to accrue from its in.
PRODUCTION will at meet the necessary cost of
change from steam to caloric. In short, we per-
ceive nothing but good to the whole human race
from this the greatest discovery of this wonderful
age.
We learn that the Ericsson is to be at Norfolk on
or before the Goth of February, to meet there the
Secretary of the Navy; and we doubt not but all
sceptlclsm will disappear with her triumphant per-
IOrmance OF that voyage.

From the Baltimore american, January 81.
Hon. J. M. CLAYTON.

This distinguished gentleman, recently elect
ed to the Senate from Delaware, on the 10Th
instant entertained the members of both branch
es of the Legislature of Delaware, and mum
Der of gentlemen from different parts of the
State, with dinner at Benson's Hotel, in
Dover. After the removal of the cloth the
following toast was announced:
"John Middleton Clayton Having faithfully
served his native State in the past she is willing to
confde in him for the future.''
Mr.. CLAYTON rose and returned his thanks to
the members of the Legislature-the Wings for
eecting him to the Senate, and the Democrats for
honoring him by their presence at the entertain.
ment If he had any desire to go back to the Sen.
ate it was for the purpose of vindicating his own
name and character. It was not his intention to
make political apeech-this was not the time or
occasion for an effort of that kind-but with the
permission of those present he would make brief
allusion to the recent events which had ranspired
in the Senate, because they affected his personal
honor and reputation. Mr.. Clayton then gave
history of the Central America treaty; how first
his attention called to Central America affairs;
and detailed the political condition of the five
States which form that part of the continent, and
the necessity of right of way through them to our
Pacific possessions. After entertaining the au-
AA0AANS
doing violence TO the political sentiments of the
Democrats present, he turned to another theme,
and spoke eoquently of his native State and the
men she had produced. Delaware was proud OF
such men as c. A. Rodney, Van Dyke, Bayard,
the older and younger, McLane, and others, who
had built up her fame at the Bar and in the Coun-
Gil Chamber. He referred to her revolutionary he.
roes-Hazelitt, who fell at Princeton; vaughen,
who fought in thirty battles; Kirkwood who fought
IN thrty-tw pitched battles and fell at st. Cars
defeat; Patton and Jaquett, whose lives were de-
voted to the establishment Of our freedom. He
spoke Of Joness the gallant commander Of the
Frolic, and Gibson, the son of chairmaker at
South Milford who fell atthe sortie of Fort George
His remarks were listened to with much attention.
and were closed with the following sentiment:
g The Slate of Delascare: The home of our fore
fathers and the land of our birth or our adoption,
May every servant of hers, whether Whig or
Democrat, so conduct himselfin the station which
she assigns to him as to reflect honor upon the
character of our common mother.''

YANKEE DREAM--kn exchange paper
gives the following account Of the singular
veriication Of a dream:
Some time during the pas, summer, 4
stranger stopped at one Of the watering
places on The mountain south of Waynes-
boro,' Pa. Alter his arrival there he was
taken sick, and for several days was ap-
parently derauged. On his recovery, he
informed the proprietor Of the house tina,
during his illness he had dreamed for three
nights IN succession that he had discover.
ed, al q certain distance in the mountains,
under a rock, an earthen rock, containing q
large amount ofsilyer. Al this the worthy
host expressed his surprise, and spoke Of
il as . mysterious dream. Afterwards,
however, they were walking together, and
the proprietor at once proposed an exami
natioBto satisfy their curiosity. The rock
WI soon found, and after carefully brush.
ing the leaves away it was removed, and
to their utter establishment, there was the
rock full Of silver. They took ii out and
conveyed it secretly to the house, end or
examination il was found 10 contain $500.
all in half dollars, which they divided
equally between them.
The day after this discovery, the stran-
ger was about to take leave of the mountain
and complained to his friend, the proprie
tor ofthe springs, ofthe inconvenience o.
carrying his silver, when an exchange wa,
proposed and made, the stranger receiving
bankable paper for his silver. II was mo-
long after his desparture, however, till th'
proprietor had made another discovery
his iour hundred dollars in silver werl
counterfeit, and, he bad thus been in
~geniously swindIed out Of $500.
