rXJ* We understand that the Whip Ward Meet?
ing? were generally very fully attended last even?
ing, notwithstanding the severe north-castor, with
?now and rain. In some wards, the contest ror
Nominating Committees was most spirited. ibis
is right; but let all differences be settled before
the tickets ere made out. We shall need all the
IVhig voters to carry the city
XT By reference to our Legislative proceedings,
5t will 1? soon xb# Mr. C. P. Daiy has introduced
si bill to equalize the wards of this city. Our
citizens understand the object and the effects of
auch a measure. What do they say to it ?
The Crime or Seduction.?The recent horri?
ble tragedies in different quarters growing out of]
cases of Seduction, hove awakoned public attention
to the subject, and we believe tho public sentiment
would now sustain and approve law? to punish
Seduction as a crime against the peace and happi?
ness of the community, the same as robbery, theft
and forgery arc punished. It is a monstrous ano?
maly and wrong that sends the perjurer in a case
involving afer/ dollars, to the State I'rison, while
the more base seducer, who by fiendish machina?
tion? and the blackest falsehood has effected the
ruin of some guileless, confiding creature, and
plunged a whole family in unguish and disgrace,
i? a?owed to g* wholly ' unwhipt of justice.'?
Every one who justifies or in any degree palliates
the aot of him who slays a seducer, like young
Mercet.byso doin(T accuses and condemns the
Law for not affixing a penalty to Seduction. We
Tfioice, therefore, to see that Mr. Suliivan of the
Pennsylvania Senate has submitted the following
bill:
An act to punish seduction, and to afford a more adequate
c vil remedy for the ipjury. .
Secdon L That the sedacuoo of any female i? hereby
declared to be an indictable offei.ee, in addition to the re?
medies now given by law, tor the perpetration of tbi? great
private and public wrong; and any pen-on v/bo f-bait be
/?-oavlcied of the offence ot seduction, in any coun oi Quar?
ter Sessions of the Peace ot this Commonweal.b, shall be
srnterced to pay a line net less thun $508 nor more than
$10.MW, at the discretion of the court; and further, to un?
dergo a solitary confinement, at bard labor, in the proper
penitentiary, for a period not lew* than one year, nor longer
than ten years, at ibe discretion of the court. Provided,
that in Ueu ot ibo imprisonment iu the Penitentiary, the
court may, if the circumstances of the cases are mitigated,
sentence to imprisonment >n the county jail.
Sectio; 2. That the action of sednction may be main?
tained and sned by any mother or other relation of the I?*
rnal? sutaiced, to recover damages for l?k? of service or for
Injury dnbfc iq the reputation mi the relatives, and for snco
aggravations as may have nttended the co nniission oi the
injury- Provided, tbaiouly one action shall be maintained
for redress of such hjurles arising oat of any one case of se
dncdoo.
We regret to perceive that our own Assembly'h
Judiciary Committee, through its Solon of a Chair?
man, has asked to bo discharged from the conside?
ration of thi? subject, and have it sent to a Select
Committee. Tw? jB ghulfling. If those who be?

Loco majorities?Mayor 46?; Jortices 183,195.
The Locos have three of the five Supervisors
and six of the ton Aldermen?one of them by one
majority and another by seven. So they have the
Board, by virtue of colonizing tho Fifth Ward.
. The vote is 200 higher than ever before.
New-Hampshire.?The General Election in
the Granite St?.te for Governor, four Members of
Congress, five Councillors, twelve Senators, and a
House of Representatives, takes place to-day. The
result is hardly doubtful. The Whigs havo an ex?
cellent chance to do something, but they will lake
amazing good care not to. They scern to take ad?
vantage of a mutiny in tho enemy's camp. So we
look to see Hubbard re-oiectcd Governer, and a
full triumph to the Radicals.
Mississippi.?The Loco-Foco State Convention
broke up in a hubbub on the 24th. Resolutions
nominating Martin Van Buren for President and
Robert J. Walker for Vice President were laid on
the table by a large majority. An attempt to
nominate a U. S. Senator also failed. Already o
call is out for another Convention to nominate and
to organize the party?this having rather disorgan?
ized it.
Illinois.?The Legislature of this Stale has
adjourned, having passed an Apportionment bill,
with much difficulty. There was an abundant ma?
jority for gouging the Whigs to the utmost, but it
was not so easy to make a District for every aspi?
rant of their own party; hence the trouble. We
shall publish a table of tho Districts as soon as we
can. Nothing else of moment has been done that
we have not already chronicled.
Missouri.?The Legislature has been con?
strained by the remonstrances and the growing
power of the Johnsonian*, to teke tho back track
with regard to their nomination of Mr. Van Buren
for the Presidency. The People are generouslv
permitted to hold Convention.* and choose Dele?
gates to the National Convention instead of those
chosen for them by tha Legislature. This favor
m ill doubtless be gratefully appreciated.
The Mails.?We receive*? yesterday, March
14th, papers and letters from Buffalo postmarkeo
March 7th?seven days on their passage. One of
these letters, containing a legal advertisement
which appears in this morning's paper, it was high
ly important that wo should have received in due
season. By the same Mail, we received letters oi !
the same date, from Clymer, Chautauque Co.-?at ^
least two days further otT. j
Town Elections.?We did not expect the I
Whig* would make a vigorous effort in tho Town
Elections this Spring, and they have not; vet in
several instances the results are unexpectedly fa?
vorable. Oaeida, Montgomery, Lewis, Schoharie.
and Cbenango counties, havi elected more Whi"
supervisors than last year. Sullivan has made a
spirited fight, and chosen 5 Whig to 6 Loco-Foco
supervisors. Jefferson, Fulton, Eric and Monroe,
have done miserably. Partial returns from Chan
tauquo and Cortland look well. Wo shall give a
clearer statement when our returns are more com?
plete.
A. W. Bradford, Esq. will lecture before
tho Franklin Literary Association this evening on
? The Philosophy of History: h will be well
worth hearing. Admittance free, but a collection
taken up to aid the Society io forming a Library.
McRX of tkk EARTHQUAKE.?Later pape?
from the West India Islands have been received by
the Commercial Advertiser, giving interesting par?
ticulars of the terrible desolation effected by the
earthquake of tie 8th ott. The rumor which first
reached us bv way of Baltimore of the sad destruc
tion of life at Point a Petre, will be seen to have
been hut slightly exaggerated. A St. Crow paper
of tt/ietb says that at Point a Petre, in Guade?
loupe, 6,000 persons had disappeared, and that tbe
bodies of 4,000 had been dug out of the ruins and
taken out to sea, to prevent a pestilence. Of 80(1
suidiers forming the regiment quartered tt. 're, only
-10 survived. Bright and successive volumes of
flame were seen to issue from the island by a vessel
passing at the time of the earthquake ; so that it
is supposed, with strong ground of probability,
that the destruction of the island had its origin in
the eruption of a volcano. The fortifications were
a heap of ruins, and the mouth of the harbor was
po completely choked up by rocks forced up from
tho bottom of the sea, that it was feared the ship*
there could never be removed. The Captain ot
the schooner Ellen, arrived yesterday from St.
Thumas, reports that the U. S. Consul at Point a
Petre wa3 so severely injured that he survived but
a short time. The town and harbor had both been
put under martial law, to prevent their being plun?
dered.
At Antigua the shock was very severe though
only ten lives were lost. Almost every windmili,
steam engine, sugar works, &c. were destroyed,
the churches, chapels, custom-houses, jails and
other public buildings were almost ruined, and the
loss of property is supposed to amount to several
millions of pounds. The canes in the fields must
be sacrificed for want of mills to grind them, and
there is said to be scarcely a building on the isl.
and left uninjured. The catastrophe was preceded
by a rise of the tide to a hight of four feet above
its usual flow.
At St. Bart's the church and several other build?
ings were thrown down, and the earth opened in
the middle of a street to the width of a foot, the
fissure extending 600 yards in length. At St. Eus
tatiathe damage was confined mainly to buildings,
some being very badly injured. At St. Christo?
pher's several of the public buildings were utterly
destroyed. Only one person lost her life, but some
others were badly hint. At Nevis and St. Bar?
tholomew's the earth opened and water with a
sulphurous sir ell issued from the crevices. No?
thing farther had been heard from Montserat.?
When last seen the Island was enveloped in a dense
cloud of smoke or dust. The sea around was vio?
lently agitated. At St. Vincent the shock was
felt but slightly.
Liebig's Animal Chemistry.?-Mr. Winches?
ter, at 30 Ann street, having exhausted his first
edition of this work, which was ever 10..000, and
being unable to answer the many orders continu?
ally received, ha3 stereotyped the work, and just
issued a new edition, in his uniform cheap octavo
form. We regard this as among the most impor?
tant scientific works of the age. It embraces tbe
results of the original researches of one of the pro
foundest living chemists, and throws mote light
than any previous work had ever done upon tbe
secret processes by which the mysterious principle
of animal vitality is preserved. Chemistry re?
ceives a new importance from theso investigations,
.which are infinitely removed r.r.?,_ih?.riauia.?iid
ignorant speculations w?ich assume and disgrace
tho name of acience In many quarters at the. r?r*u
scot nay. xney were conducted with the utmost
care; the deductions from them have been made
with scientific precision and logical exactness, and
th? results are of the most interesting and impor?
tant character. We rejoice that the work has ob?
tained a circulation so very wide and general. No
book of the season so well deserves, or will better
reward u close and diligent study. The prico of
the book, in Mr.. Winchester's edition, is so very
low, that every person who wishes it may have it
in his hands.
EF There is to be a great Tyler Mass Meet?
ing in the Tabernacle to-morrow evoning, which
Messrs. Gushing and Proffitt are expected to
address. (Wise will not be here?ho has busi?
ness enough at home.) As all the office-seekers
will attend from interest, many Locos to foment
mischief, and some Whigs from curiosity, wc an?
ticipate a fall house. Gushing will make an able
speech and Proffitt an amusing utie. We shall try
to hear.
KJ* Rev. D. P. KmntR will deliver a Lecture
this evening at the Society Library upon the Moral
and Litetary Condition of Brazil. Mr. Kiddcr has
spent a year or two in Bra7.il in missionary labors
and thus enjoyed every opportunity for forming an
intimate and accurate acquaintance with the liter?
ary and religious character of the people. Ho is
a gentleman of fino talents, a most accomplished
scholar, and earnestly devoted to the cause nf morul
and religious culture. His Lecture will be emin?
ently worthy of attention.
CP Mr. Clay reached F rank fort on tho evening
of ihe 5th, on his return home from the South.?
He looks much improved by his Southein trip.
BT We notice, by the last English paper?, that
Greathead's English Life Boat, after taking the
crew from the wreck of the William & Anne, lost
off the English coast on the 6th ult., swamped and
drowned every soul on board of her. We under?
stand that Francis's American Life Boat is of a to?
tally different construction.
From St. Domingo.?An arrival at Savannah
from St. Domingo confirms the account of an in?
surrection in the Southern part of the island, pub?
lished here some days sit ?, but gives no addition?
al information concerning its progress or pros?
pects. Some four or five thousand men were under
arms and had demanded a change of government.
Business was very generally suspended.
Robberies at Night.?Several cases of street
robbery have occurred in Greenwich village duriag
tue last fortnight, and considerable alarm continues
to exist. In Troy street, corner of Hudson, a shop
was entered two nights since and robberl; the j
alarm was given but there was no detection. These
acts are perpetrated by a gang of young men.
The police must be acti%-e, and citizens on their
suurd. Many persons have adopted necessary
precautions, and there is every prospect that some
arrest will soon give a clue to the whereabouts of
those freebooters.
Kentucky.?The Frankfort Commonwealth of
the 7 th says:
" The bill in relation to tbe present Banks of
the State, providing for the "withdrawal of the
State bonds as stock therein, and for the loan bv
them of $100.000 in each Congressional District,
&c. finally passed both houses yesterday evening."

Fri?ay, March 10.
In the Senate, Mr. Strong reported bills in re?
lation to the collection of fines and taxes in the
city of New-York; Mr. Dixos reported a bill to
annex the expense of foreclosing mortgages, and
Mr. Foster in favor of the Assembly bill to re?
duce the capital of the Mechanics' Bank in this
city. The bill concerning the payment of Con?
tractors then cams up and was discussed at length.
The bill to erect the County of Schujler was then
debated until the adjournment.
In Assemblt, the day was entirely devoted to
the hearing of private claims.
Saturday, March 11.
In Senate, Mr. Faulkner presented a petition
from Livingston County, which he said expressed
the unanimous wish of the people of that section,
earnestly urging an immediate repeal of the Ex?
empli on law. Petitions were also presented for
amending the charter of Brooklyn, concerning the
taxes in New-York, for a law exempting the per
centagc on die sale of goods at auction which have
been damaged at sea, and for other objects.
Mr. STRONG reported a bill limiting the State
Printer to 25 cents for each folio on the first inser?
tion, and 10 for each subsequent insertion of all ad?
vertisements of Surrogates, Public Administrators,
&c. After the reception of sundry reports, &c,
the resolution of Mr. Root directing the Commit?
tee to bring in a bill abolishing all involuntary in?
spections came up, a?d was briefly discussed,
when it was laid on the table by a vote of 12 to S.
The bill to pay Contractors on the Public Works
then came up, the question being on Mr. Bockee's
amendment to appropriate the $84,358 received
from the Public Land Fund to the payment of diese
debts. It was discussed at considerable length,
when the Senate went into Executive Session, and
soon after adjourned.
In Assembly, Mr. 0. Ben edict presented a
curious petition for various amendments to the
Common School law. The annual report of the
number of convictions for criminal offences was
received and ordered printed. Mr. McCarty re?
ported a bill to increase the revenue of the State
through the duty on salt, Jead and coal. Mr. 0.
benedict laid on the table a resolution calling on
the Bank Committee to report whether any pre?
sent or former Bank Commissioner is indebted to
any bank for loan? made while acting in that ca?
pacity.
Mr. Daly brought in a bill for the more equal
division of the War da of the City of New-York.
Mr. Allen gave notice of a bill providing for
the election of Bank Commissioners by the people.
The bill relative to Court of Common i'leas was
then debated for a time, when the Bank Commis?
sioners' bill came up lor discussion. On the mo?
tion to rise and report progress, a dispute arose as
to the accuracy of the count of the Clerk ; a storm
raged with some violence for a few minutes,; but
was effectually calmed by the adjournment of the
House.
CTJ3 The Cincinnati Gazette says that the steam?
boat Octarara was wrecked by striking a snag
above New-Orleans, with a loss of the vessel and
167 hhds. of sugar. She cost $3,000, and was
owned at Connersville, Ohio. Four boats were
lost during that week, at an aggregate loss of
$93,000, exclusive of their cargoes.
KF3 The Providence. Chronicle states that the
name of Thomas W. Dorr has_been stricken off the
Toll Liot, on tbxi ground that he is no longer a
citizen of the state?having declared his intentions
never to iecutn.
The late Awful Gales.?The sacrifice of life
and property at sea during the last six weeks boa
been, we regret to say, without parallel in the his?
tory of our mercantile affairs. On tho co3st of
England 154 vessels were wrecked and 190 lives
lost; on tho coast of Ireland five vessels were lost,
with 134 lives; on the coast of Scotland 17 ves?
sels were wrecked, and 39 lives lost, and on the
coast of Fiance, four vessels and 100 lives lost.?
The value of the vessels and cargoes have been
roughly estimated-ut ?585,000, viz : the vessels at
?405,000, and the cargoes at?180,000. Or, tho
three following days after the loth numerous other
wrecks occurred, to the extent of nearly fiO, the
losses of which were upwards of ?240,000, this
with the others, making a total of ?825,000. To
this is to be added the great loss of vessels that
occurred in the course of the storrn of Friday and
Saturday last.
Two Steamboats Lost.?The Cincinnati Ga?
zette announces the loss bf the steamers General
Pike mid Amazon. The former was lost at Shirt-Tail
Bend, hud a full cargo of produce, cost at Cincin?
nati, in 1840, $30,000, and was fully insured in
that city. The Amazon was lost at the foot of
Tipawerta Bar. Her engine and furniture will
probably be saved, but the boat and much of the
cargo will be lost. Sho cost, in 1339, $24.000,
and is not insured.
Frozen to Death.?Mr. John Richardson, of
Ber.ton, Yates county, was found dead and frozen,
on Sunday morning, the 5th inst., in that town,
near the residence of Mr. Wise. He had boon to
Penn Van the day before on business relating to a
pension for services during the last war. He was
about sixty years of age, and somewhat addicted
to intemperance.
K~P The spacious dwelling house of Mr. D. M.
Perine, in Baltimore county, Md., was, with its
contents, entirely consumed by fire on the morning
of the 8th. The fire must have been communica?
ted to it by some incendiary. There is an insur?
ance on the house and furniture, in the Baltimore
Fire Insurance office, of ten thousand dollars,
which, it is presumed, will fully cover the loss.

The Court met as usual, and the record having been
read, the proceedings were continued by tbe examination
of Lientenant Gan.evoort and Midshipman Thomp-on.
The only evidence elicited that has not previously been bc
foru the public, was that 3Iid?hipman Thomson had taken
leave of Mr. Spencer previous to his being led to execution,

To the Edxior of The Tribune:
As you have always been a warm advocate of the work?
ing man's interests, I hope yoc will allow me to inform the
public of the recent disgraceful conduct of the Proprietor
of The Sun tn the Compositors lately in his employmenL
Moses Y. Beach sets himself down as worth $150.000; and
he boa?tstbat the circulation of bis paper is as large as ever,
while Uiere is reason to suppose bis other business has
largely increased. It must be evident, therefore, that he is
rapidly accumulating wenJth ; but he, not contented, has
resorted to the despicable expedientof reducing the wages
of bis Compositors, and making his concern a " rat" estab?
lishment
Last Saturday, without any warning whatever, he intro?
duced to hiioffire. as foreman, the notorious Geo. Ormision,
and gave his bands the alternative of working under him
?f reducedprirej, or leaving instantly. Of course no honor?
able Printer could associate with Qeo. O.-miston, and every
situation was immed ately vacated.
The people of New-York wiil not uphold tbe man who
has acted thus. The men who bave left are ot unblemished

The news by the steamer, which reached here at mid?

It u difficult to imagine what its ultimate result will be, from

?. S. Circuit Court.?Before Judge Betts.
Tue Sohers.?Mr. puer commenced the argu?
ment yesterday in behalf of Capt. Mackenzie and
Lieut. Gansevoort, and ia reply to that of Mr. But?
ler. Never weis there a more powerful or eloqnent
appeal presented before a Court of justice. Ac?
customed as those attending our Coutts are to
hearing frequent displays of high and finished eloquence,
it requires ability of the richest order to rivet in an unusual
manner the attention of ihe audience, yet such was truly
effected yesterday by Mr. Duer. He spoke for nearly two
boors and a half, enchaining tbe attention ot U:e Court, the
Grand Jury, and others who listened to him, and mating
an impression, by the strength of his positions, and the man?
ner of illustrating them, which must be highly favorable to
bis cause.
The principal fentores of Mr. D's. argurn-nt are as fel?
lows: He contends that the opinion of Chancellor Kent,
denying the jurisdiction of the Civil Court* for offences
committed on hoard public vessels on the high seas, is cor?
rect?that Congress, cn establishing inlerior Courts, created
Courts Martial as a portion dt*stich, to which it delegated
power connected with naval and military offences and
felonies committed, by persons attached to the Navy in pub?
lic vessels abroad?that the offence of Capt. Mackciuie, if
suc h it is, hills under the jurisdiction of the Naval code
that in pursuance hf '.he provisions of that code he was
boubd to use every effort to prevent or overpower mutiny
on bodrd his ship, and that should he fail in using every ex?
ertion to that effect, (and the law gives him unlimited dis?
cretion,) be is liable to be tried by Court Martial and pun?
ished by death?that trial by jury is not t-ranted by the
Constitution to per-n".s beichgibg to the army or navy, luit
that those embarking in such renounce their right to jury
trial and become subject to the laws passed by Congress for
their government?that the portion of the 5lh Article of tbe
amendment which -ays. " in lime of war or public danger,"
refers only to the militia when called into actual service
that the offence of CcpL Mackenzie being connected with
his naval duttesj and as ???letej to an asserted abuse of power,
ralls who'.ly within the province of a Court Martial?but
that even if this Court considers itself as having concurrent
jurisdiction, the case now being before a legal tribunal will
prevent action on the p3rt ot this?and that Lieut. G. was
fully exonerated by the orders of his Commnnder.
Mr. D., tn the opening of his remarks, alluded in a feeling
manner to the friendship he entertains for CapL Mackenzie
and also to the friend who has clung to him [hislatker]
throughout his troubles, and whom he has known and es?
teemed from Iii? youth?he also expressed bis " indigna?
tion" at those who he said wer* endeavoring to bring end?
less misery upon the accused and bis family, doing so under
the pretence of public good, hut instigated by private re?
venge.
About half-past two, Mr. D. being indispesed from a pal?
pitation at the heart, asked that the further portion of his
argument might be deferred till this forenoon, and the Court
adjourned to this day at 11 o'clock.
Coroner's Office.?Died of Dysentery and
want ok Medicine.?Thei^oroaer held an inquest to-day
on toe body of Michael O. Brian, aged 73, a native of Ire
land. Verdict, died of dysentery and want of medical at
ien.lai.ee.
Diuo ok Apoplexy.?Also at the Franklin House, corner
of Rutgers and Cherry-streets, cn the body of 'Elizabeth
Lawrence^ native of .this Mate, aged 50 years. Tbe de?
