FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsniNeroN, April l2.-Lord Lyons to-day presented to the President his cre- dentials as Envoy Extraordinary and Min ister Plenipotentiary of her BriIannic Ma jesty. h doing so he gave utterance to the most profound feelings offriendship of his government for that of the United States, and expresses the hope that the ties of amity would be drawn stll closer The President warmly reciprocated the senii- ments announced. The interview was of a more than usually cordial character.
 The impression prevails that Judge Karnett, of Penn, will De appointed supeT- intendant of Public Printing.
 Ex-Congressman Groesbecg, of Ohio, according to the representations of his most intimate friends, has been offered the ap- pointment of Commissioner of Police. Although the Government has nothing more than the telegraphc accounts con- cerning the recognition of the Juarez Gov ernment by Minister McLane, 1t gives full credit to the intelligence. Enough has transpired to warrant the assertion that Senor Mata will be received as Minister to the United States on his return to Wash inglon. When Mir. McLane went to Mexico, Mramon was represented to be in force before Vera Cruz, and the issue was doubtful. He went thither with full un- derstanding that if Miramon was defeated at that point he was 10 recognize the Lib eral Government, Hence the determina- ton of his action in the premises. IL IS understood here as a reason why Mir. Forsyth was not sent back to Mexico as United States Minister was that by recognition of the Zuloaga Government, he rendered himself unpopular with the Lib eral party, aud hence 1t was considered that his usefulness would be impaired. The Hon. John Letcher, the Democrat ic candidate for the Governorship of Vir- ginia, is in this city, en route to resume the canvass in the central and southern portions of the State.
 Much more business is now being trans- acted in the Interior Department, occupy ing the attention of the Secretary some- tunes till midnight.
 The receipts of the Patent Office, during last month, are said to be $l4, ,000 over the expenses.
 The case of O'Flynn, the Postmaster at Detroit, about which there has been much interest of late, has been investigated. So far, 1t is thought he will resign.
 The Republicans intend firing hundred guns tomorrow afternoon, in honor of Jeferson's birthday, and ofthe Republican victories in the recent State and Municipal elections.

HARD MoNEy.-An apt illustration will sometimes enforce proposition more strongly than volumes of argument. or this class of illustrations, the following, from quaint old Adam Smith, strikes us as one of the happiest Allow us to offer it for publication as we find it repeated in Says Political Economy:
 {" The capital of nation he lllens to an extensive tract of country, whereupon the cultivated districts represent the pro- ductive capital, and the high roads the agent of circulation, that is to say the mon- ey that serves as the medium to distribute the produce among the several branches of society. He then supposes a machine to be invented for transporting the produce of the land through the air; that machine would be the exact parallel of credit pa- per, or bank notes. Hencelorward the high roads might be devoted to cultivation, (that is, gold and silver being locally less valuable, would seek other countries, where it could be more proftably used.) The commerce and industry of the country, however, he continues, though they may be somewhat augmented, cannot be al- together 80 secure, when they are thus, as it were, suspended on the Dedalian wings of paper money, as when they travel about on the solid ground of gold and sil- yer Over and above the incidents 10 which they are exposed from the unskill- fitness, (and he might have added the corruptness) of the conductors of this pa- per money, they are liable to maay others from phich no prudence or skill of those conductors can guard them"
 Commend us to honest old Adam Smith!

SHOT BY HIS INSANE WIrE.-The Philadelphia Ledger, of the 4th inst, has the following
 The wife of Capt. B. F. Bentley, of Monongahela, Pa, young and beauti- ful woman, is subject to periodical de- engagement of the mind. On Wednesday morning last she got possession, by some means, of the captains pistols, procured powder and lead, and loaded them, and wen; into the garret of the house. Dis covering her whereabouts, the captain went after her, and as he ascended the last flight of stairs, she presented one of the pist ols and fired. The ball or slug entered his neck, in front of the iugular vein. ascended through the jaw-bone, and was found lodged in the upper opposite side of the mouth, shattering bones and teeth in its deadly course in horrible and frightful manner. The unfortunate Lus- band IS still alive, but cannot recover.

BsJ@ A horrible murder was committed in the town of Woodvile, Miss, on the night of Friday, March 18th, on the per son of a promising child of eight years oI age, son of Mir. Francis Best.

TIE BANKoF TENNESSEE DISm EMBER- ED.-On and after the first day of Sep tember next the Bank of Tennessee and Branches are required to pay out only such notes as are on the face redeemable in gold at the counter where issued. This bank must obey the letter of the law the Union and Planters bank refused to be governed by the Legislature in this mat ter
 One branch of the Bank of Tennessee can not issue and pay out the notes of another branch of the same bank. Of course it can not receive the other branch notes unless the arrangement is previously made for the redemption of the notes. No bank can continue to receive on deposit and in payment of debts the notes of other banks which they are forbidden to pay out In very short space of time the home issue would be exhausted and all deposit tors would have to pay in gold. By this act of the Legislature the Bank of Ten nessee Is dismembered-it can no longer act as a unit. Each branch is in effect an independent bank relying on its own re- sources-holding the branches as they do other banks, in war enemes-in peace friends.
 The mother bank will probably no lon- ger attempt to redeem the bank notes at Nashville they cannot do this without keeping on hand two dollars in gold for one in paper. This will prevent Nash vile from belng the money centre of the State, and it is probable that all the branch es will be able to take care of themselves and furnish sound currency to the peo- ple.- Clarksville Chronicle.
