Some weeks ago, it was stated in the Dan
Book that there was Il case on the calendar OF
the court, which, if brought to trial, would
Show how some men have made money in a
disgracctul business ; yet they were respected,
and kept respectable appearance in society.
Since then, we have heard nothing more of the
case or the trial bnt presume the matter has
been settled. The wealthiest party could hard
y afford to have it come to trial. lest the pub
lie would learn how he obtained his wealth
The suit was between the keeper of a house
Of ll-fame and proprietor Of large ftlrni-
turc establishment; one of the most extensive
and wealthiest in the city. One Of the pro-
prietorS, we are Informed, is an officer in one
OF the Collegiate churches in this city. Be
that as 1t may, both belong to what is snob-
biShly termed the upper ten circle. They are
ric;i, live IN elegant mansions. give fashionable
parties, ard their wives and daughters Hutter
II costly silks and laceS, and are therefore
''highly respectable" Little does the world
think, and little does it care, that these man
sions are furnished and these elegant dresses
arc purchased 10y the same means that the
Palace of Mirrors and the gaudily decorated
houses in Mercer street are. The fruits of pros
titution and debauchery, enable tie keepers
and inmates of THESE dazzling dcns of infamy
to furnish their house magnifccntly and to
dress elegantly. The same fruits have made
the furniture establishments great, and their
DIV iln"s palaces
Did this firm sell their furniture to the keep
crs Of these houses rs they do to other people,
out and ont, at a profit the business would be
legitimate, and 10 one would censurc them ;
but they do no such thing. They hire the
houses, paint them up. decorate them, make
them attractive, and furnish them throughout :
then they get women to take them as houses
of prostitution The business is done, of course.
in the name of the woman who keers the
house, and chattel mortgage is taken On all
the furniture as security for the capital furn-
ished by these men.
They had, on the first Of January, no less
than thirteen chattel mortgages on furniture
III houses OF this description. In one instance.
they wrote on to Baltimore to a woman, offer
Ing to get house for her and furnish! it, if she
would remove her establishment from that city
to this thus Offering evidently premium on
the business. They do not seem to be salts
fec with the partnership or interest Of a dozen
establishments but must send to neighbour
Ing city for women to come on here and Join
them in their. enterprises! People have Won
dered how some of these women could get up
such Splendid establishments in so short a
time, and ask where and from whom the CAPT.

This boat will leave Pigs Eye Bar this
morning, and return to ST Louis. Her freight,
as we write, is being discharged into lighters
and wagons, in order to bring it up to this
place, where it principally belongs. The Id
miral being very heavily laden, found it impos-
sible to pass the bar, and has laid there for
some time, cndeayoring to get off, but found all
efforts unavailing, until her cargo had been dis
posed Of.
This bar is a perfect nuisance, and should
by some means be so improved that it may no
longer Obstruct the navigation of the river
In low water, particularly, it is source of
to our business men, who feel the detention of
their goods by this means, very scnsibly We
are in hopes that some measures may be set on
foot to accomplish this desirable result.
SINGULAR thin the last three
or four days previous to the 10th inst, there
have been more than thirty deaths in St. Lou

heat. The thermometer there has ranged from
100 to 10 degrees above zero. 1t has been
50 warm that it was very imprudcnt to worl,
in the sun at all, and all that could avoid it
did so, but there were many who were depend
ent upon their labor for the support of them

PEELED to work. During that time the cases
were so frequent that the Coroner did not
have time to record them in book which he

Speech OF SENATOR WELLER.

In our issue of yesterday, we published an
abstract of the able and effective speech Of Sen
ator Weller, of California, on the Nebraska
bill. We have not yet had the opportunity Of
reading full report Of it, and cannot, there
fore, undertake to state his positions as we
would like to do, and as justice to him would
require. He has the courage to meet issues as
BELTS man, and the ability to treat them as
becomes an American senator. He has strong,
direct way Of stating and illustrating his posi-
tons, that deeply impresses the minds Of his
hearers Whilst he discusses his subjects in
such manner as to command the respect Of
the most cultivated, he has the happy art Of so
presenting them as to arrest and carry along
with him the convictions of the masses.
Abolitionists and freesoilers get cold com
fort from the California senator. Although
born and raised in free State, he has the
frankness and the courage to do justice to the
slave States. He is in favor of carrying out the
Constitution in its letter and spirit, and max
ing effective its sacred guarantees. His
speech, we doubt not, will do great good. He
thus closed it.:
I" Mr.. w. then discussed the characters Of
those whose business was that of abolition, and
said that he had never known one who, when
his social character was made known, did not
tnrn out to be meddler in the affairs Of his
neighbors He was not northern man with
southern principles. He was an American CT
tizen who saw no safety or perrnanence to the
Union Of the States, except in the maintenance
Of the Constitution"

NEW YORK DIvIsIONs--THE Me-
BRASKA BILL.

In the first number of the Sentinel we ex-
planned the different terms used in New York
to express the democratic divisions in that
State; but it may not be amiss to repeat the
substance of that explanation at the present
juncture.
When the proposition to annex Texas to the
Union was brought forward, it received the
hearty sanction Of the mass Of the democratic
party; yet a portion Of the party, under the
lead of Martin Van Buren,, openly opposed
that great measure. That opposition insured
the defeat of Mr.. Van Buren, at the national con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Polk, whose adj
ministration was one of the most brilliant in
our annals. Mr.. Van Buren's friends could
not forgive the democracy for that result, and
their hostility was more particularly directed
towards the southern portion Of the party, under
the belief that annexation was Of southern
origin.
During the Mexican war, the followers Of
Mr.. Van Buren, began to organize in New York
on the anti-slavery basis Of the Wilmot proviso;
and, after the acquisition Of territory by the
treaty of peace and limits they attempted to
engraA their anti-slavery heresies on the demo
cratic creed Of the Empire State, under the
hope and with the belief that this sectional
movement would extend to the other nom
slayeholding States. They failed in this; but
still they sent full delegation to the Baltimore
convention Of 1S4s to contest the seats of the
representatives of the regular democratic or
ganization, which was headed by Daniel 8.
Dickinson. This scheme succeeded so far,
that, although the regular delegates were adj
Judged to be entitled to their Seats mistaken
leniency, dictated by desire to obtain harmony
by means Of Cancellation and concession, adj
mitted the factiouists into the convention and
they were enabled for the time being practically
to disfranchise the State Of New York. \.
AS soon as the convention of ls4s adjourned,
after the nomination of General Cass, whom Mr..
Van Buren's friends hated with q bitter hatred,
the disorganizers took prompt measures to form
new party on purely sectional issue, in order
odefeat the democratic party and its candidate,
without needing the perils which their course
would bring upon the country. In pursuance
of this object they united with the abolitionists
and erected the Buffalo platform, which is now
UNANIMOUSLY notorious throughout the confed.
eracy. Thus the democratic party was divided.
and sectional agitation was set on foot which
threatened the existence Of the Union ITSELF
After General Cass was defeated by the trea.
sonable detection Of the Van Buren, or freesoil
party, many effortswere made to heal the breach.
A coalition was formed, but no common prin-
ciples could be declared as the basis Of real
honest union of the two divisions. Many honest
and upright men sustained and urged the coali-

CONGRRss.

In the Senate, yesterday, the French spolia-
ton bill was ordered to third reading, and a
bill introduced on Monday by Mr.. Badger, ma
king appropriations for the further improve
ment of Cape Fear river, North Carolina, was
passed The Nebraska bill was further de-
bated by Mr. Houston, who did not conclude.
In the House of Representatives the home
stead bill was considered as the special order.
Mr.. Dawson addressed the committee in favor
of the measure, and Messrs. Mace and Shelton
took occasion to express their views on the
Nebraska question.
