WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Manhattan Manu-
featuring Company have applied to General Cass
for Information as to tariffs on firearms and NUM-
tons Of war by the several European Governments
General Cas-, In communicating the desired in
formation, has also informed the company that by
understood law Of nations such articles are con-
traband Of war if conveyed to a country engaged
in warfare, and therefore a rightful prize to the
opposing belligerent country if captured by it, In
other words, that the expectation of munitions of
war to belligerent country is at the risk of the
party so sending them, without recourse for pro.
lection to their own Government.
Advlces have been received here from the ate
wabash, dated Trieste, June IL. She would re.
main there two or three weeks, and then proceed
on her cruise. She attracted universal attention
wherever she went. At Trieste the authorities
were very severe with all classes of people, and
exercised their authority with the utmost tyranny
and rigor. Upwards of three hundred prisoners
had been incarcerated since the war broke out for
various political offences, all Of whom would
shortly be put to death. 1t was dangerous even
Tor persons to express an opinion upon any subject
connected with the war. #|

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The ConstrtNtion reviews at length the re
cord Of the Democratic party, to show that the
speculative and impracticable theories of
.'enator Douglas on the one hand, and Cover
nor Wise on the other" are at variance with
the Constitution of the United States, the let
ter and spirit of the Compromise measures OF
1850, the Kansas Nebraska bill, the Cincinnati
platform, and the solemn pledges of the party.
The Hafslligeneer thinks that "the complete
returns of the late Gubernatorial election in
Virginia are instructive from the light they
shed upon the injustice which the Wings of
the State, in entering upon the recent ANNA
ted canvass, did to their real strength by de-
spairing of their ability to elect Wing candi-
dates for many of the Offices which they per-
mitted the Democracy to fill without contest"

month or 50 ago the Government managed to
obtain the principal Of the ill-gotten money.
which was laying to his credit in sundrv
banking houses, by permitting him, as admin.
istrator Of his brothers estate, to draw the
interest that had accumulated upon il. and
entering mol pros in the criminal suit
still impending over his head. Pecuniarilv.
the settlement was q fortunate one for the
Treasury; insomuch as there was really no
law that would have enabled the Govern.
ment to recover the money from the hands of
the bankers without Gardiner consent: thouch
it is very questionable whether Gardiner could
ever have enjoyed it while the Government
saw fit to contest his right to draw it. During
his absence, he is said to have been KEEPING a
hotel in Cuba.

SEWING MACHINEs.-We advise all inter,
ested in the progress of the useful arts to visit
the Office of the Washington agent for the sale
of Singers sewing machines, Pennsylvania av-
enue, Immediately east of the ladies' entrance
to the National Hotel, where are to be seen
specimens Of every description of the imple-
ment made under the Singer patent Weneed
hardly say that there are none others better
made, as half the master tailors who do much
business have them at work on their premises.
while hundreds Of thousands are being operated
in private families and manufactures of various
descriptions wherein much sewing is done To
meet the requirements of the times the Singer
company have got up machines for family use
which they sell at from $50 to according
to hnish-which accomplish quite as much of
the ordinary sewing of the family as their more
costly and heavier manufacturing machines
would do; which is saying that they accomplish
at least as much as any other sewing machines
in the world. The time is rapidly approach
ing when a sewing machine will be found as
invariably in every household wherein the
price of one can be raised, as the ordinary
needle is now. In few words, they surely econ.
omize from three-fourths to nine-tenths of the
family'S labors with the needles point which
all housewives are rapidly coming to compre-
bend. They are no longer an experiment. but
success, the truth Of which any and all realize
who will devote few moments to witnessing
their working anywhere.
