ably 70 dispose Of the great Union cham
pion. thst his Excellsncy. Gov. Foose. would
mot be candidate for the United States
Senate, but was an applicant for Foreign
Mission, IS we believe, entirely without
foundation. There IS little doubt that the
fre-eaters would willingly see him sent to
Russia il they could thus get him out Of
Col. JEFF. Davis path. but we entirely mis-
take the man if he gives up without strug-
gle the issues brought upon him by the fac
tionists Of that weakest of all bodies dignif-
ed with the honorable title Of .Senote--
the upper house of the Mississippi Legisla-
ture. On the subject Of this report, our
able contemporary of the Natchez Courier
(and we heartily endorse his remarks says:
"We think we know Henry S. Foote too
well to be mistaken in his character; and
we are much mistaken, if he is willing to
drop his claims to the u S. Senate for any
executive station. Il any man in Missis-
sippi has claims TO that vacant senatorship.
he has. It's the renewal Of a term he held
a year since. The seat was his own. when
called upon BY the people to take the field
in opposition to dangerous heresy, the.
success of which would have placed Mis-
sissippi by the side Of South Carolina in
hostility to the Union. Itwas his example,
his efforts, his untiring zeal, his labor in.
season and out of season, his bold assertion
of old fashioned democratic truths, his stir
ring and eloquent appeals-that saved the
State from open and armed resistance to the
Union. The people sustained him. The
Democratic party of the Union was obliged
at Baltimore to insert in their platform, the
same principles contended for by him. Gen.
Pierce himself was elected, because he was
understood to stand upon them. VIM. r.
King in the Senate had voted with GOV.
Foote in the Senate upon the Compromise
measures The State Rights democracy in
Mississippi have themselves been obliged
to yield their doctrine of resistance, and
whether they did it honestly or hypocrit-
cally, the result is the same; they have been
forced in practice to stand where Gov. Foote
stands. So far, the canvass of 1851, and
the present Presidential struggle have been
of principle for Gov. Foote.
Besides, he would already have been
re-etected, but for the fact that faction tri-
umphed over right; and neglected q posi-
tive duty that its members had solemnly
sworn 10 perform. Official oaths had to be
broken. and a law to be trampled upon, in
order to prevent that triumph of principle
being also personal one. Who, then, of
he democracy. have such claims on their
party as Gov. Foote2 And if party is dis
regarded entirely, who has more claims up

for the U. S. Senate, and we be-
ieye he seeks no other station.

BANK of ENGLAD.-WEIGHING DEPART
MENT. One of the most interesting and as
tonishing departments within the whole
compass of the Bank of England is the
weighing department in which with the ra-
pidity.of thoughts land precision approaching
to the hundredth part Of a grain, the weight
of the gold coins is determined. There are
six weighing machines kept working by the
same agency which appliesall mechanical
power in the band. and three weighers attend
to these. Rolls of soyereigns, or half soye-
reigns, are placed in grooves and are shaken,
one at a time, by the motion Of the machine,
into the scale. If they are Of standard
weight, they are thrown by the same me-
Iehanical intelligence into box at the right
| hand side of the person who watches the.
operation; if they have lost the hundreth part
Of grain, they are cast into a box on the
left. Those which stand the test are put into
bags of 1000 soYereigns each, and those
below par cut by a. machine, and sent back
10 the mint. Between one thousand and two
thousand light soyereigns are thus daily
sent out of circulation The silver is put up
in bags. each. of f1,00O value, and the
gold into bags of thousand, and then
those bagfulls Of bullion arc sent through
a strongly guarded door, or rather window
into the treasury. The treasury is gloomy
apartment fitted up with iron presses. which
are supplied with huge locks and bolts, and
which are perfectly fire-proof. Gold, silver
and paper money. ready for circulation, to-
the amount of f22, ,Oo0, 900 sterling, were in
the treasury when we visited it. One of the
gentlemen in this department placed 1000
sovereignes In our hand, and at the same
time pointed to seventy bags full of gold in
a little recess which he had thrown open,
making in all the modest sum Of Gro, ,00O

sensation as the precious deposit trembled
