MINISTER TO SpAIN---Those who thought
that the administration had touched bottom
IN It's foreign appointments, will be surpris-
ed to learn that it has dug down to Angus
tus Caesar Dodge, who had been nominated
and confirmed as Minister 10 Spain. A
telcgraphic dispatch says that this appoint
ment has been received with universal At
tonishment, not to say disgust
"Democratic Senators freely condemn
the appointment. Although many Of them
had few days ago been inveigled into
signing recommendations of Dodge to
somc office, but nobody dreamed that he a.
pired TO a mission"

Labor and its Rights,-We often hear
the remark that u man has a right 10
living, in which the implication is very
strong that if he does not earn it himself he
may claim II OF somebody else who has
earned it. a man has only a right to such
of the productions of labor as he himself
has created with his own industry. lie has
no right 10 living independent OF his
duty to earn tina, living for himself by his
labor. Every man has the right Of earning
himself a living, by the physical and mental
power with which he is endowed. He
should use those means 40 as ~ command
Il living by making his labor useful to 9th
ers. Societyis undor no obligation TO ird
man employment III such pursuits only
as hs desires or finds il convenient to fol-
low. The object of all labor is to satisfy
some existing want. If society does not
want particular kinds Of labor, it is under no
obligation to purchase them, and the ndi-
vidual should turn his labor TO such pro-
ductions as society does need and can
not do without. -Phila Ledger.

pOn Tuesday afternoon large mum

DOn Tuesday afternoon large num-
aer of Butchers passed through the streets
in an immense sleigh, accompanied hy
band of music, and displaying several flags.
The Butchers were all dressed in their
neat white gowns, and appeared to enjoy
,hem,el very much; the band discorrs'
ed their music on the way. Il was very
blood-l!rsiy collection of men. They
stopped on the Parade, and J. a. Williams
took an accurate Daguerreotype OF the
sleigh and contents. After riding around
tho city for some time, they drove ont to
Lawton's Tea house in Portsmouth, where
we presume they enjoyed themselves.

House. MIR. Carpenter, from The COM
mi;tee OH Accounts, reported resolution
sppropriatng the sum of $6Ol2 So 10 pay
certain claims against the State.
Among the items in the report, was an
allowance OF one hundred dollars TO Will
kins Updikc Esq, of South Kngstown, for
an argument made by him before the House
of Representatives at the last January Sos
sion, upon the subject Of the old State
debt, and which argument was made at the
particular request OF the House.
MIR. Spencer was opposed 10 The charge,
and moved that Mr.. updike be allowed and
paid S25. lie had heretofore believed that
there were some honest lawyers, but such
extravagant and unscrupulous demands as
these would 90 very far towards shaking
his confidence in that opinion.
Mr. Allen also opposed the allowance OF
the claim, and Alsssrs. Dixon, Anthony and
Peckham, Of South Kingstown, advocated
its paymeat
On n division of the House, the motion
OF Mr.. Spencer prevailed.
Mr.. Allen then moved that an equal sum
be paid to DR.. John w. Richmond for an
argument made by him on the same occs-
zion and upon the same subject.
M. Clarke hoped not. DIR. Richmond
was petitioner, and was heard by the
House at his own request. lie had no
doubt that vote OF this character would be
extremely dis:asterul TO lar. RicbmonJ.-
lie had not asked for anything, did not cx-
pect anything, aud would not take any

ferrcd the petition Of Philip Allen and

The United States Nssa steamship Atlantic, which
left Liverpool on saturdsy, June arrived at this port
on Wednesday morning 1t aboat sociock.
The new steamship ArjsI Of the Vanderbilt Eu-
ropean Line arrived at Ha,s en- the Ist ult, making
the passage in twelve days.
The war news brought by sis arrival is the most
ir orant tAat we have received, since ae pessoge Of
the Alma Intelligence by the lasssteame, announced
that afer two nights of sangunayy conflict the French
had driven the Russian garrison f-orn sDng posi-
ticn of defense before Sevastopo and had themselves
cecupiedit The loss both sides little Isss THAI
5000 men. Since then two most important sfatege'
movements have been effected by the Ates witscom-
pete success The first was the seizure and oc.upa-
tion Of the Russian position the Che-naya which
WINS effected with but little loss the enemy retiring be-
fore the allied advance. The other success yet
more important, being nothing less ,hsn tie capue
of KertcA. the destruction of the Russian squadron
and Notifications there and the obtaining Of entire
possession Of the Sea of Azo in the waters CT which
the Allies have now fourteen steamers. The entrprse

partent chooses to dole FORTH but the possession by
the Allies of the important station Of Kertch, whence
the garrison of Sevatopol drew most of their supplies
must exercise speedy influence on the siege There
were rumors Of another great battle having been
fought at Inkermann, but the statements want con-
irmation. Diplomacy is particularly busy at the
present moment. The expected resumption of the
Vienna Conference has not taken place, the successes
in the Crimea warranting the Allied Governments to
hold out for better terms. Austrian negotiation is
more active than ever with the view of obtaining
for the Cabinet of Vienna supremacy In Germany
From Spain we have accounts that the Carlist insur

The other subject is also bn old one and refers
to the notorious Dillon case at San Francisco
As informed your readers good while ago.
TIE French Minister of Foreign Affairs de-
mnpded that Mr.. Dillon should have salute
when bis flag was hoisted, and that Mr.. Marcy
uniformly refused to make any recognition
whatever. Since that time no progress has
been made in the affair." for the reason that the
French Cabinet insisted upon the position
which il hid taken, while the American Cabinet
"a firmly insisted on its own. The affair has
hem recently brought before the American
Minister here in a manner TO convince BIN fnar
the time for a settlement had arrived, and that
further delay would only embarrass the case
The American Minister, by some means, han
seen the letters written by this Mr.. Dillon to
the French State Department, and these letters
are sad to be so insulting aud so outrageous
toward the government and people OF the United
States that our Minister has not only peremp-
torily refused to make any concessions on the
position long ago taken by Mr.. Marcy, but he
has deemed the case Of Sufficient Importance to
make it the subject of strong recommen iatIon
to the Government at Washington to take some
official action against Mr.. Dillon.

on Saturday evening next. At all these festivi-
