The Right Of Visitation and Of search.

Although the foreign news seems 10 in
dictate that Great Britain win renounce her
pretensions TO the right Of searching Ameri-
can vessels, yet we learn that dispatches re-
ceived at Washington on the 18TH do not,
in any substantial form, correspond to the
expectations Of the administration, created
by the tone Of the English press, and author
lied by LORD NAPIERs assurances, A cor
respondent Of the NY. Tribune, writing from
the capital on the 10th, says, that while the
English ministry "disclaim authority for
any offensive act on the part of the cruisers
in the Gulf, and are prepared 10 make re-
paration to that extent, they insist upon the
purpose of suppressing the slave trade by
determined and effective means. A DISPOSE
ton TO exercise the right Of visit in the
most acceptable manner Is avowed, and to
that end MALxEsBukY expresses bis willing
ness and desire to receive any suggestions
from the American government. The IN
expected tone OF these dispatches has made
much impression in the Cabinet, and it is
believed our relations with England must as.
sumo different character from what las
heretofore existed.
1t has been long since demonstrated by
statesmen of the character Of QufxcY AD-
ANS and WEBSTER, that there is no distinc-
non betvesn The EXERCISE ct tbs right Of
visitation and the right Of search, and that
acquiesence in the right Of visitation in eff.
feet grants to Great Britain the right OF
search. Our government always has, and
we trust always will, repudate the claim Of
any government to either visit or search
American vessels.

How Thnriow Weed gave Willard FAIL
more a Small Fortune.

The n. Y. correspondence of the Phila-
delphia Mercury tells the following piquant
story about WEED and FILLMORE
Heard good story the other day.
Not exactly local, but eminently national,
as il involves famous politician and an ex-
President, who hate each other tremendous
ly. Two or three years ago the railroad
routes between Albany and Buffalo were
consolidated, you remember, under the title
of the New York Central Thurlow Weed,
OF the Albany Euea,ng Journal, engineered
the matter through the Legislature, and for
sum Of $4,000; of which Erastus Corning
was to furnish $4,000, and Dean Richmond
$4,000.
The plan succeeded and the money was
paid over. But as Mr.. Weed didt think il
would look well to have the stock stand 10
his own name, he had it made over to an
old and very particular friend Of his, Mr..
Mcintosh, who had money as a railroad
contractor. II was understood between the
parties that Mcintosh was TO hold the stock,
and then quietly make il over TO Weed. But,
unluckily Mcintosh died suddenly, one fine
day, and forgot TO leave will. So the adj
illustrators, in making up accounts Of the
assets, stumbled upon the certificates for
this $1,000, and put them down TO McIn-
tosh's credit, supposing, Of course they were
his.
The debts were paid, and handsome
balance was left for the widow, the at,rac.
tive Mrs. Mcintosh, who was married a
few weeks ago to Mr. Er.Pre@ient Fillmore

LEAD AND Coin DISCOVERED NEAR LAKE.
CrY--We were yesterday shown a speci-
men Of lead taxed from a vein lying about
eight miles West of Lake City it 10 as
pure as any found in the celebrated lead re-
gion in the vicinity Of Galena. Our inform.
ant also reported that gold had been dis
covered within twenty miles Of that place,
and the rumor had created intense excite
ment in Lake City asd the other towns adj
jscent to the gold fells.
We give this rumor for what it is worth,
without placing perfect confidence in its re-
liability.
