L INTELLIGENCE.

The CEtEHRArIos on 81. PArRIcK's DAY.-Ihls ami
velsary was yesterday observed With much spirit by tho
st. Patrick Total Abstinence Society Of Washington.
The sky was cloudy, but otherwise the weather was
pleasant, eonseary 10 the well-knowa meteorological
character which, from time immemorial, has belonged 10
the day. AT AN early hour the society marched TO St.
Patdck's church, which was speedily filed 10 its utmost
capacity, and Rev. I. J. o'Toole delivered an appropd-
alto p~anegyrie upon the life and character Of Edn's patron
Saint. At two O'Clock the members, to the number of
seven hundred, formed ia line, attended with two fine
bands, with flags and banners flying, marched TO the
Presidents House, whence, after several stirring airs had
been performed, the procession moved down Pennsylva-
MIA avenue TO the Capitol, and along New Jersey avenue
TO the hall. Throughout the route great numbers Of
spectators thronged the windows and side walks. AT 7
o'clock the society reossenbled at the Assembly Rooms,
where the tables were loaded with all the requisites for a
s%umptuous and abundant dinner.
The assemblage speedily proceeded to do justice TO the
good things before them. Among tho guests at the
cross table Ia the upper end of the room we noticed
Marshal Selden, Il. MoNerhany, esq, and Joseph S.
Wilson, chief clerk of the Land Office. Afser ample
time had been consumed in satisfying the cravings of the
appetite, the Rev Mr.. oToole rose, and after a few pre-
fatory remarks, in which he indicated the fitness of
the Irishman TO become a good and faithful American
citizen, and enforced the necessity of temperance among
his fellow-countrymen in this their adopted land, read
the following toasts, which were received with great en-
thusiasm

tional festival of Ireland, and as the anniversaly of our

toasts and speeches were made, and the festivities did not
close until a late hour. There were also other dinners in
the city in honor of the occasion.

TUESDAY MoRNING..........
Correction.

Mr.. Carpenter informs us that several
matters were overlooked in publishing his
statement yesterday morning, and furnishes
us with the following corrections:
1st. 1t should have been stated that the
guarantee by the Company that the bonds
should bring rs cents to the dollar, was in
tended to extend to the work subsequently
let on the first division.
I'd. Contractors have received of the Com
pany about $4,000 in stock, at par, which
makes the amount received of assets, such
as they are, near 100000.
Sd. That portion of the lands conveyed to
o. H. Smith, in trust as endorser at first
cost, amounts to only about $65, 1000, in
stead of $s9, 900 as in the former statement.
4th. In the statement that nine-tenths OF
the work was done ON the first division, it
was not intended to include the iron bridges
and depots.
9Th. The $4,000 expended by w. Car
penter & Co., not only included his private
advances and mortgages upon his property,
but, also, the liabilities of w. Carpenter &
Co., which have to be settled by Mr.. Car
penter's friends.
9Th. The bonds which Willard Carpenter
have been disposed of for private use.

European War.

The very intelligent London correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune thinks the
intentions of Louis Napoleon are no longer
problematical Although Austria submits
sively pockets insult after insult, and is
making all kinds of concessions to avoid an
invasion of her Italian dependencies, her
every effort will be of no avail The oppo-
sition of the Republicans and Orleanists
will only confirm the French Emperor in
his promptness. They well know that an
Italian campaign will end only in success
and that success will cement Napoleon on
his throne. Military success dazzles a
Frenchman's eyes, and renders him unable
to clearly trace the train of events that
bring about that success. 1t is said that the
peace policy of Louis Philippe and the Re-
public proved the ruin of those governments,
and Napoleon intends proftting by their
example.
Whilst the attention of other European
powers are closely drawn to the movements
of France, Russia is quietly but surely I'M
dermining the powersof Turkey. Austria is
nearly distracted with the complication of
troubles that beset her, and Prince Meter
nich-now ninety years old-but still vigo-
rous and with unbroken powers, has recent
iy declared that there never existed a
greater danger for the Austrian Empire,
during these last forty years than now

BSE The New York Tribune contains the
following just notice of the appointment of
John Petit of this State, as United States
District Judge for the Territory of Kansas
The notorious Lecompte has now found a
successor in the person of the Hon. John
Petit, of Indiana, who was yesterday NOM
mated by President Buchanan, and con-
firmed by the Senate, District Judge of
Kansas. OF this event, it is perhaps enough
to say that the Justice who goes out ard the
Justice who comes in are on the whole per-
fectly worthy of each other SO that the
change cannot be called an interruption of
the strict continuity and congruity hereto
fore characteristic fof the Federal Courts in
that hapless territory. Mr.. Pettit has served
six years in the House of Representatives,
and two i'll the United Slater Senate; and
has earned the distinction of being one OF
the most servile Doughfaces and meanest
politicians to be found even among the
Democrats of Indiana At last he has his
reward.

Hon. JOHN BELL.-In adverting to the
changes recently created in the personnel of
the Senate, by the mutations of politics, we
are sure that we do but give utterances to
the voice of large portion not only of the
people of Tennessee, but of the country at
large, when we say that the withdrawal of
the Hon. John Bell, from the body which
he has so long instructed by the wisdom of
his counsels and adorned by the dignity of
his demeanor deserves to be regarded as a
serious loss to the public service Uniting
to habits of patient study and those cardinal
qualities of mind which constitute the con-
sentative statesman, he had moreover ac.
quired by his long service in different
branches of the Government an experience
which fitted him in singular degree for
the high functions he has lately discharged
with SO much credit to himself and useful
ness to the country. 1t is to be hoped that
his withdrawal from public life will prove
only temporary, and that our National
Councils may still share in the benefits to
be derived from the signal ability he brings
to the discussion of all public measures
That ability has been sufficiently illustrated
in the able speeches he has delivered on the
topics of politicar concern which have
occupied the attention of Congress during
the last few years, and we venture to ex-
press the hope that aselection from his Sena-
torial efforts on great questions OF State
policy may be gathered into n permanent
form, as we are sure they would compare
fayorably with similar productions of the
leading statesmen who have shed lustre on
our Parliamentary annals.-NationaI In

Another Picture on new OrH Lie.
The Superintendent of the House of In
dustry, mentions the following as one Of the
cases coming under the consideration Of that
institution 1t was that of widow lady,
the mother of two little girls, whom she
was striving to educate at the House School
He says: tE-- .-
Attention was particularly called to their
circumstances by the mother applying for
aid to pay her rent. She had disposed of
every article of household furniture that
could be pledged, to exc out miserable ex-
istence and keep her little family together
+" We found her," said the visitor, "hard at
work, making boys black cloth caps, trim
med with braid, and bow, and buttons lined
with glazed muslin, and wash leather, and
with patent leather front; for the making
and pressing of which she received troo shiL-
hngs per dozen or t,go cents apiece. l did
not believe it. and asked to see her pass

said, "I-used to get three and sixpence a
dozen, but now the price is reduced

and from the necessity that makes families

plication, working from early light till dark
/ (she could not afford candle), with such
assistance as we could give her, in the way
of bread, she had laid away the money for
her rent just due. To add little to her
store, she had received another woman into
her room as a ledger. After week had
passed, her ledger ran away, and carried
with her all the poor widows hard earned
rent, and she could find no trace of the thief
The agent was memorable, and though a
| sober, honest woman, told her she must go
out unless the rent was paid. What could
she do? If turned out here she had no
means to "advance" las rent in advance is
| termed) in another house. To go into the
street for the night was misery, and to sleep
with her little girls in the Station House
was almost certain death to them In her
extremity she applied to her friends at the
House of Industry. "Please to lend me
/ three dollars, and | will strive and repay it
as fast as | can" How long would the poor
mother strive to spare three dollars out of
such wages.

learn that N. R. and E. s. Afford, for
merly associated with me as contractors
on the Straight Line Railroad, have written,
and their friends have reiterated the asser-
ton, that have refused and evaded repeat
ed propositions to settle, or arbitrate the ac-
counts existing between me and them, and
between us and the Straight Line Railroad.
To refute this most false and flagitious as
sertion, it is only necessary for me to give
a plain statement of the condition of the ae-
counts between us. During our business
connexion we had place of deposit, in Hart
ford, Connecticut, for the securities received
all the partners were to have common ac-
cess n r. Afford, as the resident partner
in Hartford, was the chief agent in our finan-
eial operations there and had the freest use
of the securities and papers. do not know
that there was any betrayal of confidence
till my visit to Europe to procure the
the road began to appear to be inevitable, a
"grab-game" seemed to have commenced
on their part, All the securities and assets
of the company unused at that time in the
deposit, and convertible by them, were taken,
concealed and are withheld to this day
Upwards of $123, 900 of Evansville city and
real estate bonds were distracted, and no
account can be obtained of them or their
proceeds. Lands that belonged to Willard
Carpenter & Co. were conveyed to their per-
sonal friends and relatives, and no account
given of their proceeds. At the time of my
return from Europe the Indebtedness of the
firm of Willard Carpenter & Co., in bills and
notes outstanding, did not exceed sos, 900
for loans and that was the largest amount OF
paper that | knew of or supposed was
afioat. That was the amount the accounts
exhibited, and all that could have been le-
ultimately issued.
At that time we suspended the work on
the road, and determined to close up our
business. There was then no occasion to issue
new paper except in the renewing of paper

were signed and endorsed in blank by us
and our friends, and left in the hands of the
Affords. My plan was to collect, convert,
and pay off, as fast as practicable. To this
end contributed my private means, and on
my way home, after my visit to England,
stopped at indianapolis, and raised and re-
mitted $4,000 to them, to meet our Joint
paper. The $4,000 which / RENTED was
converted to an unknown use, and our paper
left unpaid. On my arrival home, 1 found
loan of s., 900 had been made of Messrs
Bement & Viele of this city, for which the
note of Willard Carpenter Il Co. had beer
given, the proceeds of which were unac
counted for, and have been, to this day

Boy" A novel suit came before the Su-
preme Court of New York, on the 9Th inst,
which tends to show how matrimonial alli-
ances are brought about in that State. Rob-
ert G. Nellis has sued George Grouse and
his wife in the sum of $1,000, as his COM
mission in obtaining husband for the said
Mrs. c. The lady was gay widow, snx-
ious to be d-hymenially-a and in
duced Mr.. Nellis to hunt up the desirable in
dividual, for which service Mr. NelIis was to
receive $1,000. After couple of unsuccess-
full attempts-for it seems Mrs. C. was, like
most gay widows, a little capricious-he
was fortunate enough to light upon Mr..
George Grouse, who proved entirely salts
factory, and was, in due time, united to the
widow. But, unfortunately, Mr.. Nellis fail
ed to receive the $1,000, and accordingly
brought suit to enforce the payment of the
amount.
The facts i'll the case were not derived by
the defendants; but the Ex-widow's counsel
argues that the claim is against public poll
cy, and that no such system of brokerage is
recognized in common law, as it is against
| good morals. Judge Davis reserved his de-
! cision until future day.
