THE NEW YORK HERALD. m WHOLE NO. T424. MORNING EDITION?WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1853. PRICE TWO CENTS. OBITUARY. Death of William Bnftu King, Vice Preaident of the United States. -Sketch -of bu Public lafit and Services, dec., <fcc., Ac. The event which ha* been for some time anticipated by the publle has at length occurred, The telegraph nfonns us that the Hon. Wiilum R. Kino, Vice President of the United Stated, died at hid home in Selrna, Dallas county, Alabama, on the Alabama river, on Monday evening, l?th inat., having reached that place, on his return from Cuba, the day previous. The Vice President wan a little oyer sixty-seven years or age, having been bom on the 7th of April, 1780. Hi* native' place wax in Sampson county, North Carolina, a few miles ?ast of Fayetteville Hi* father, William King was one of three brothers, whose paternal ancester emi -rated from the north of Ireland, and was among the early ?aettler* on JameH river, in the colony of Virginia. The mother of these brothers was deacended from a Hu guenot family, which had fled from France on the re vocation of the edict of Nantes. In the war of the Revolution, the three brother* espoused the whig aide, and did good and effective service In the ?cause of the country. Thu? eldest brother com manded a company ol State troops; the youngea held a ciptain's commission in the continental army, an William, the father of the Vice President, took hi* posi Hon In the State line, as a common soldier, by the aide of gome of the best and' most patriotic men in the State. Tbe late Hon. Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, who represented the Stale in Congress for many yeara, also served In the rank* as a common soldier, through the war ?f the Revolution, and refused to accept ef a commls?ion In the army. During the whole of the Revolutionary war, North Carolina was fighting ground, and none of her patriotic son* made greater aacriflcea or met danger with jnore heroism tlian did the gallant family of King. At the Jconclueion of the war for independence, the fa ther of the * abject of this sketch, wliojwas a planter in In. ?dependent circumstances, devoted hlmgelf to the care of hi* family and the education of hi* children. At the early age of twelve year*, William R King was cent to the University of North Carolina, at Cha pel Hill. On leaving that institution, whero he ac quired a good reputation for his correct deportment and studious habit*, he entered the law office of William Duffy, a distinguished lawyer of Fayetteville. In the autumn of 1805 he wa* licensed as a practitioner in the Superior Court of North Carolina. In 180C be was elected ? member of the Legislature from hi* native county of Sampson, being then in the twenty flrit year of his age. The following year he was re-elected; but being chosen solicitor by the Legislatuie, he resigned his seat In that body. Mr. King continued the practice of the law until be waa called upon to take a teat in Congress. He was elected a member or the Houw of Representatives from the Wilmington district, In August, 1810, when he waa in the twenty lifth year of his age, aud took his seat in the Congies* or the United States in November, 1811, being the first session of the twelfth Congre**. On that occa pion Henry Clay first made hi* appearance as a member Of the House, and was elected Speaker. The presence of the talented Ketuckian, and of Messrs. Calhoun, Cheves, -and Lownde*, of South Carolina, with other active and apirited members of the House of Representatives, aided by William H Crawford, of Georgia, and a few others In the Senate, infused new vigor Into the ranks of the sup .porters of the administration. It waa soon determined that inactivity and indecision should no longer be the policy of the democratic party. For several year* war with England had been contemplated as a probable event- but Mr. Jefferson had carefully avoided war wes gages,'and hi* successor, President Madison, had endeavor ed to pursue a similar course. It was believed by the new leaders of the democratic party who were in the twelfth Congress, that efficient measures were now demanded by the people, and that a war with Great Britain would be popular, particularly with tho party which sustained toe administration. The policy of the democratic party respecting a standing army and navy, waa unchanged, principally through the advice atd influence or Clay, Calhoun, and Lowndes, notwitstanding they met with opposition from many of their democratic associate* of the old school. The youag and ardent democrats, among ?srbem was William R. King, xealou>ly co operated with their chosen leader* in the adoption of mea Bures piepar atory to war. The act of declaration ?Of war with Great Britain, was i?assed by Con gress In June, 1812, Mr. King advocatiig and voting for that important measure, which became the test of party fidelity with the democracy. Ho was ro-clected In 1812, and again in 1814, continuing to represent his district in Congress during the war, and sustaining with all his power every measure deemed necessary to enable the government to prosecute It to a successful termination. He did not feel disposed to relinquish the responsible position in which his confiding constituents had placed bim, although a young man, until the rights of the coun try were vindicated and secured and peace restored. .He remained a member of tho House until a year after the close of the waT, and assisted In the adoption of many Hnportant measures rendered necessary by the return of peaoe. hi the spring af 1816 he resigned his Beat In the House or Representatives, and ac compared William Pinkney, or Maryland, a* Sec retary of Legation, first to Naples, and then to St Petersburg, to which court* Mr. Plnkney bad been appointed minister plenipotentiary. Mr. iring remained abroad nearly two yoars. having, in that time, visited many parts of Europe, making himself acquainted with the various governments, and the condi tion of the people. On hi* return to the United SUtes be determined to "remove to the Territory of Alabama, then a great point or attraction to Southern planters aa pettier*, which determination he carried iuto effect in the -winter or 1818-19, and fixed hi* residence in the county ot Dallas, on the Alabama rivor, which continued his home, when not engaged In the public service, ror the remainder or his day*. The section or South Alabama which he early selected ror hi* residence comprise* some o the finest table land* in the State, and is very productive in cotton, grain, and fruits adapted to the climate. In the vicinity of Mr. King resided tho late Hon. William f lalth, formerly of South Carolina, tho lite Hon. l'ixon H. Lewis, Judge Pickens, and other distinguished planters and statesmen. The flourishing towi* or Selmn and .Montgomery, the present capital or the State, afford con venient markets and landing places to the planters on the banks ot the meandering Alabama In this part of it * course. A few months after Mr. King arrived In Alabama, and bad taken up hi* residence in the territory, Congress having authorized the people to form a constitution and establish a State government, he was elected a delegate to the Convention chosen for that purpose, ne waa an aetlve and influential member of that body, was placed on the committee appointed to draft a constitution, and was also selected by tho general committee, with Judge Taylor, bow of Mississippi, and the late Judge Hitch cock, to reduee it to rorm, in accordanco with the princi pies and provisions previously agreed on. Tho constitu tion thus prepared was submitted to the Convention, and adopted with hut slight alteration*. It is one or the rew State constitutions now In operation which has not re .quired the calling or a convention to revise It, after tho lapse of more than thirty years. On the adjournment of the Convention, Mr. King visited bl* former residence In North Carolina, and having ar ranged hi* business there, set out on his re'urn to Alaba ma. At Millidgevllle, Georgia, ho received a letter from Governor Bibb, of Alabama, Informing him that he had been elected one of the Senator* to represent the new State In the Congress or the United State*. Thl* wa* the first Intimation which Mr. King had that hi* name had been presented to the Legi.lature for that responsible (station ? and injuriously a* It would effect his private inter e*ts, in tho then condition of his affairs, he did not hesitate *0 accept the honor so unexpectedly conferred upon him. leaving hi* companions and attendant* to pur.ue their way to Alabama, ho retraced hli step*, and reached the ?ity of Washington a few day* before the meeting of Con 'resa. Bl* colleague in tho Senate, the Hen. John W. Walker, had arrived before him. AWnwti WMadmittedtot? VU' Union is December, and her Senators were required, as ucoal, to draw for their respective terms of service. Mr. Walker drew rfx years, and Mr. King four years, expiring in Waroh, 1823. He was re elected by tbe Legislature for four successive terms of six years eaeh, viz ?in 1822, 1828, 1884 and 1840 ; but in 1844 he resigned his seat, after nearly twen ty-five years continued Senatorial service, In consequence of accepting the appointment, by President Tyler, Minister to France. At the time that Alabama was received into the Union the indebtedness of her citizens to the United States for public lands?under the old credit system?was nearly twelve millions of dollars. It was apparent that this large amount could not be paid from the resources of the planters, and that an attempt to enforce tho payment could only result in ruin to the people. Congress, satis fled of the evils of the credit system that had been pur sued, passed a law reducing the minimum price of the public lands to one dollar aud twenty five cents, with cash payments, instead of two dollars per acre, the credit price. This change was warnily advocated by Senators King and Walker. To the exertion* of these Senators also, is Alabama mainly indebted for the passage of laws which enabled her planters to relinquish a portion of their purchases of lands at high prices, and other mea aures of relief, which enabled them to save thomselve from threatened ruin, and so secure their possessions upon reasonable terms. In 1836 Mr. King was elected President of the Senate pro trm., and was repeatedly chosen to that office at various times, always performing the duties of a presiding officer to the satisfaction of the Senate. He was induced to accopt the ofTered mission of France, in 1844, from his anxiety to promote the annexation of Texas. It was feared that the French government would interfere to prevent the annexation, by uniting with Great Britain in a protest against It. Mr. King, feeling tho importance of prompt action, did not even return to Alabama to arrange his private alTairs, but repaired at once to New York, and took passage for Havre. Arriving in Paris, he obtained an audience of the King, presented his credentials and at once entered upon the object of his mission The result of his negotiations was to satisfy Louis Philippe of the impolicy of the proposed protest against the annexation of Texas, and the desired object of his mission wa< accomplished. This service gave Mr. King a strong hold upon the affections of the people of the South ern States, who considered the union of Texas with the United States a measure of tho first importance. Mr. King remained in France until the autumn of 1846, dispensing a liberal hospitality to his countrymen and others, and receiving from the most distinguished circles in Paris the kindest attention. Having request ed a recall from 1 "resident Polk, he returned to the United States, in November, 1846. When Mr. Bagby resigned his seat in the Senate of the United States, in 1848, in consequence of being appointed Minister to Rus sia, Mr. King was appointed by the Governor of Ala bama to succeed him, and he was subsequently chosen by the Legislature for a full term of fix years from March, 1849. Upon the elevation of Mr. Fillmore to the Presidency, in consequence of the death of General Taylor, in July, 1860, Mr. Kirg was chosen President pro term, of the Se nate, which station, as we have mentioned, he had held several times from 183G to 1841. Being a decided Southern State rights man, he was opposed to the Union Compromise measures adopted by Congress in I860, but Bnally acquiesced in that settle ment of the questions which had agitated the nation. In June, 18&2, he received the democratic nomination for Vice President, to which office he was elected at the lait presidential election; but, as will be remembered, he was compelled, on account of ill health, to resign his seat in the Senate, and proceed to the i?land of Cuba, with faint hopes of recovery in consequence of the change of climate. But the hopes of himself and his friends have not been realised, and he has only lived long enough to reach his home, and die without entering upon the duties of the high station to which he had been elected by a great majority of the people of tha United States. He had, however, nearly approuched the good old age of three rcore and ten, and but few of our statesmen have seen more years of public service. Mr. King has never been married. He is the only bachelor who has ever beon elevated to either of the two highest executive station* of the Union. He is the thirl Vice President who has died in office?George Clinton died in April, 1812; and Elbridge Gerry, in November, 1814. Both died at Washington city, and both were advanced In years; the former seventy-four, the latter sixty eight years of ago. Mr. King was ever a decided democratic republican of the Jeffersonlan school. He always opposed the exercise o* implied powers on tbe part of the general government, un less palpably necessary to carry into effect unquestionable granted power. He was firmly impressed with State rights dcctiines, and in favor of a stilet construction of the constitution. In all the relations of life Mr. King mnintained a spotless reputation. His frank and confid. leg disposition, his uniform courte?y and kindness, en deared him to numerous friends, and insured the respect and confidence of all who had the opportunity of his ac quaintance. In perFOn, he was about six feet In stature, remarkably erect in figure, and well proportioned. Brave and chivalrous in character, his whole bearing impressed even strangers that they were in the presence of a pol ished gentleman, lie had the advantage of fine collo quial powers and varied and extensive information, which rendered him a mo&t interesting companion. His name will be enrolled in the annals of both his native and adopted State as one of the most worthy among their public servants. The following, received by yesterday's mail, will be read with melancholy interest at this time T11E LANDING OF THE VICE PRESIDENT. [From the Mobile Hoyister, April 12.] Yesterday morning, about 12 o'clock, the steamer Junior, Capt. Armstrong, brought up Vice President King and his accompanying relatives from the steamer Fnlton, which remains at her anchorage near Oog river bar. They were landed on Government street wharf, where an Immense assemblage of citizens had gathered to witness the debarkation. Colonel King c*me forward, supported by two of the officors of tho Fulton, and was conducted to a carriage provided for tbe purpose. He appeared to be extremely feeble and attenuated, though he bore his head erfct, and bis eyes glanced around seemingly with a sad. thoueh pleased interest, to find himself once more on the soil of his beloved Alabama? the Land of Rent. ? There was a profound sensation in the large crowd pre sent, as they gazed upon the form of the venerable states nian and patriot, thus enfeebled by the heavy hand of disease?thus stricken by the arrows of sickness, in the midst of the honors which the nation lias so recently be Btowed upon him; and the sad countenunces, the un covered brows, and the mute decorum of all, testified to the deep solicitude snd sympathy which universally pre vailed. The sad spectacle repressed the cordial and en tliusiastic cheers which would have otherwise greeted our Illustrious fellow citizen upon his return to the em porium of the State which has so long cherished him as her favorite son. I?uring tho progress of the Junior up the bay, with the national flag displayed at her jack staff, ilie State Artil lery fired the Vice President's salute of seventeen guns. ' Colonel King, with his family, was immediately con ducted to the Battle House, where he now has most plea sant and de-lrable rooms. It is, we understand, his in tention to remayi some days In this city. We trust that the One weather now prevailing may alleviate his dis ease, and give him some slight increase of strength. For some days before leaving Cuba the influence of the cli mate there was not so favorable as had been hoped, but his passage to this port did not increase his de bility. Though our citizens are not, under the circumstances, permitted to make any public demonstration of their re gard for their distinguished countryman, yet they have thought it proper and becoming to'testily to Lieutenant Muriav, and the other officers of the Fulton, their grati tude and esteem for the klnlness. courtesy, and atten tion, which those officers have extended to Colonel King during his presence upon that vessel. With this view, arrangements are on foot, we understand, to tender to them a public dinner. The Fulton will remain but to-day, we believe, in our waters, and then proceeds to take her regular station in the service. [From the Mobile Advertiser, same date.] * * * Crlonel Ring had to be assisted to the car riage, when he was driven to the Buttle House, where the most comfortable apartments had been procured for him. lie is very feeble, and there is no probability that lie will ever pass kith In from Alabama. It is a sotace to him to have been able to reach here alive, to die among his fi lends and kindred. He lias the sincere and univer sal sympathies of our people, and If human power or affection could avail, tho fated hour of his removal hence would be long deferred. THE OATII ADMINISTERED TO VICE rRKfllDKNT KINO. When sworn in, Mr. King was too feeble to stand with out assistance, an I was supported oa the right by G. W. Jones, M. C., and on the left by T. M. Rodney, K*q., con Ail. The ccremoay was witnessed by the foUonteg ladies and gentlemen ? Margaret King, rf Alabama; Catherine TOlis. do.: Mary A. Stebbina, La.; John C. Caulfleld, Ala.; S. W. oolfot, Vt.j a, htowUllaia, a. C,; CMrtnrf, B.C.; G W. Jones, Tenn.; T. V. Rodney. U. 8. Consul; Cbas. Stebbina. La.; Alexander H. Day, Kick.; Edmund Marcy, N. T.; Samuel H Jonea, Pa. The ceremony, although slmplo, wan very sad and im preitire, and will never be forgotten by any who were present. To nee an old man. on the very rent" of the grave, clothed with honors which he cared not for, and invested with authority which he could never wxercise, , was truly touching. It was only by persuasion that Mr. King would go through the ceremony, as he looked on it as an Idle foim. for be said he was conscious he couM not live many weeks. After the ceremony was over, Mr. King conversed with the gentlemen present for a short i time, and then retired to his couch. The Effitct of Mr. King's Death In thla City. Immediately on the receipt of the sews of the death of Vice President William Kufus King, the flags floating from the shipping, the Custom House, City Hall, and the principal hotels, were lowered to half mast, as a tribute of reipeet to the memory of the departed statesman. TELROR APHIC, THE KFFBCT IN ALBANY. Albany, April 19, 1853 The news of the death of Vice President King cast a gloom over the whole city. The national standard was hoisted at half-staff on the Capitol and City Hall, as a to ken of respect for the deceased. ARRfVAL OF THE CHEROKEE. TWO DAYSLATER^FROM HAVANA, NEWS FROM THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. The Message of Ex-President Baez, ?Sic., &e., &c. The tteamnhip Cherokee, Captain Baxter, arrived yes terday morning, from New Orleans the 11th, and Havana the 14th inst. She brings two daya later news from the latter city than received by the Black Warrior on Sunday. We havo flies of the Havana papers to the 14th April. Our correspondent writes to us as follows :? Havana, April 14,1853. The Visit of the Captain-General to St. Jagode Cuba,?Trou bles at that place, <tc , tf c. The sudcen departure of General Canedo for Santiago de Cuba was more than necoseary. I reported to you at the time that the supreme magistrate, or "regente," as he is called, of the eastern province of this island, Mr. Arango, had been arrested, and thrown into the Moro at Cuba, by order of the Governor, Gen. Medinilla, because of a certain letter which was published in the Herald a short time ago, relative to " the arbitrary proceedings which had been exercised towards a British subject, who was expelled from the plaoe of his abode without cause having been given, and recommending his case to the at tention of the then political secretary, Martin Galliano." An act so despotic as that of Governor Medinilla, and the indignity offered to the whole magistracy of the island, by throwing the Regent Arango into prison, for merelv giving a letter of introduction to a man who had been ill used, and which letter, It .seems (unluckily for Mr. Arango, in this instance), having found its way into the columns of the Hkiiald. has filled the whole of the authorities at the other end of the islind with indigna tion ; and they having joined Mr. Arango in a most ener getic and strong protest ugainst an act so illegal as tint of the Governor's, Gen. Medinilla deemed that it was their intuition to depose him from the command, which he immediately communicated to Gen. Canedo, who hastened thither to inquire into the circumstances. In the mean while, the military stationed at that province have been canning the greatest uneasiness, from the increasing symptoms of insubordination which they have cf lato manifested. Besides the incarceration in the Moro of Mr. Arango, nearly all the other authorities are under arrest?most of them, however, are merely confined to their own houses?to that you may easily imagine that the very un usual circumstance of a captain-general extending his t"ur so far away from the capital as St. Jago, was in this instance absolutely necessary. Gen. Cartillo de Albornez Is acting as captain general during the absence of Gen. Canodo. Of course you will understand that the cause of the arrest of the other au thorities at St. Jago, is owing to their having so energeti cally protested against the illegal course adopted by Gov. Medinilla in the affair of the Regent Arango. 0. P. Q. | THE DOMINICAN RKPPBLIC. The Installation of the new President, Santana, bad taken place with great solemnity, and in the mid.it o lively public rejoicings. On concluding the period of bin magistracy, Senor Buez read to the Chambers a long mes sage, in which he described, as prosperous, the general situation of the country, and proposed as the wisest doc trines, to seek in tho protection of European powers, that point of support necessary for their nascent state society. The following paragraphs, which we translate from the message of Senor Bae/., place this doctrine In a clear light, and show, also, the sentiment of cordiality which prevails in the republic towards Spain, and which the recent visit of tbe Spanish war steamer I.ubel II. had tended not a little to strengthen, fenor Daez holds the following lan guage in his message:? The suggestions of evil ambition, whioh respect no ac quired rights, whatever may be their titles, have pro duced in these latter years just caure of Inquietude to tbe authorities and peaceable inhabitants of the island of Cuba. In past nion hs, also, insidious projects of an alarming disposition, founded on our iraniiijr.ition law, have teen denounced by the press. With this motive, in protection of our independence, and with the decided pur pose of preventing whatever hostile act soever to the inju ry of the Spanish nation, energetic measure* were taken to frustrate every spurious plan which might attempt to shelter its foundation in this republic. The situation of the gover&ment was a difficult one. in dictating restrictive orders with respect to tho entry of foreigners into the country; but b? what might the consequence of acting in such a'delicate matter, or whotlierthe po wers with whom treaties wero stipulated should comprehend or not the true tendencies of such measures, up to the present time the government has received nothing but marks of appro bation. **???#?? Besides this saving idea, comes another of not less on sequence?that of insisting on the mediation of the two grea. and powerful nations who have always been careful of our conservation. Strong proofs have been, up to the present time, given of tbe nobleuess of tho views of France and Kngland, and to no other cause?thanks to the efficacy of their protection we owe it?that them has not been on the frontiers a periodical effusion of blood. In my former message I had occasion to congratulate mvself and the Legislature for the iinmeniie authority which the French people had confided to the most gene rous friend of our young republic?l*rince Louis Napoleon. To day, the empire re-established, that authority remains in his hands in a permanent manner; and through it France will hold that lofty influence in the world to which her refinement and her power give her Incontestable rights. From the moment in whioh we proclaimed our independence, shaking off llaytien domination. France tock the initiative in procuring for us peace?in regu lating the foielgn policy She terminated at once the question which occasioned such losses to the two peoples who divide in this island dominio'i and sovereignty. International rotations, generally well cultivated, will be always a profuse source of benefits for those coun tries which, as ours, found on peiiodlcal emigration their hopes of progress. They will place us in the way of obtaining the material advantages of which our country is susceptible, by the nature of its territory and its in sular situation, and to them we will be debtors for the ad vantages in moral order, which sre immediately derived from connection wifli civilized people. This purpose is fulfilled by inculcating the necessity of being explicit in the manifestation of our friendly and sincere desires towards the ancient metropolis. Span iards all, by origin or by education?having tbe same cus toms, (he same religion, the same language?we see al wsys in natives of Uie peninsula, our brothers and our fi lends, the companions of the achievements which, in other times, illustrated these territories, presaging from that time forth the portents of which the Spanish Ame ricau iace was capable, lie what may the motive which makes us dilfer, we must not attribute it to hostile measures. I'rovidence. in preserving us from civil war. was pleased to leave intact the sentiments of reclprosal n fleet ion between these two people. Spain neither op pored by force the political modifications which were wrought in this portion of her dominions, nor was it necessary, in effecting this, to shed the bleod of our brethren. Thus, then, our duties already prescribed, we esn call for peace at the gates of the metropolis, certain of meeting a sincere reception. By an act of Congress, the commerce with Spain oaght, in my opinion, liegin already to calculate on the same freedom as with the most favored nation; and, besides, from our own sense of propriety, it would be right to re cognize, as a national debt tho amount of losses which the Spanish residents of St. Domingo sustained by the con fiscal ion of property decreed by the Ilaytien government, reserving to ourselves the right of exacting from the lat ter tbe corresponding compensation at tbe definitive regulation of peace. Weaving of Rbocatem.es.?It is said that a fac tory at Humphreysville, Cons., is the only one in the world where silk brocatelles are woven by power looms. At all other places where they are made the weaving is done by hand, and, prevlc us'to the successful operation of this establishment It was deemed impossible to oon strnct machinery ingenious enough to weave in silk the ?implicated patterns of the brocatelles. The use of ma chinery is the only thing which enables American makers to compete with the German and Fraaeh manufacturers in this branch of industry, as the foreign establishments have greatly the advantage in the cheapness of labor.

These important modifications of previous regulations have been adopted by the present ablo Postmaster Gen eral, Judge Campbell, in consequence -of the receipt of the following rather emphatic despatch from the post of fice authorities in London, calling bis attention to the ir regularities and neglect of the Post Office Department here whilst under the direction of the late Postmaster General, N. K. llail Gknkrat. Post OmCB, \ Loxbon. 29th March, 1853. ) Sir?The Postmasfer General has reeeirod your letter of the 31st of January last, in which you informed bis lordship, with reference to your previous letter of the 2fith of the same month, that you had so far mo dified the order dated the 24th of January, issued by you, respeccing the rates of postage to be collected in the United States upou letters for France forwarded through the United King dom, that the usual credit of two cents on each newspaper for France via England, would continue to be given to this department by the United Statos Post Office, as heietofore. The receipt of this communication bis brought to the knowledge of the Postmaster General the fact that the United States Post Office, in sending to this cevntry newspapers for France, has accounted to the British Post Office fora postage of two cents #n each news paper, contrary to the provisions of the twelfth article of the postal convention of the 15th of December, 1S48, in which it is stipulated that letters and newspapers pass ing between the United States and Frauce, and sent through the-United Kingdom, shall be specially ex cepted from ihe British transit rates applicable to other foreign correspondence; because, under the pos tal cenvention between France and the United King dom, such letters and newspaper* are liahlo to certain rates which are to be paid to this country by the French post office. The Postmaster General extreme ly regret* that this circumstance has so long escaped the attention of this department, and that thus the post office of the United States has been permitted to account to the British post office for postage on the newspapers in Ques tion, to which the Utter has no claim. And his lordship is much concerned to find, onl enquiry, that the United States post office has accounted to this office for a postage ol'two cents, not only upon each newspaper for France, and for countries the correspondence of which is sent through France, but also upon newspapers addressed to many other countries mentioned in tnc accompanying list, under convtntion witb tills department, owing to which, the British post office lias twice received payment upon such newspaper*. This irregularity, which was re ported to your department on the 17th of May, 1850, has, 1 regret to state, continued without correction up to the present moment, owing, as far as the British post office is concerned, to tho original papers on the sub ject having been unfortunately mislaid. This being the case, the Postmaster General will readily reimburse the post office of the United States tho amount of postage erroneously leceiTtd by thin office, upon being furnished with a statement of the number of newspapers for the foreign countries in question, wlilali have been forwarded through England fruin the United States, since the con vention of 1848 came into operation In the meantime, his lordship requests that you will be good enough to i?sue immediate instructions to your officers n it tu give credit to this offire in future, for any newspaper* ail dressed to those continental States with which tho United Kingdom has concluded postal conventions, enabling tills department to receive the postage collected on the de livery of newspapers, and that you will also cause the reduced rate of two cents?the United Statos rate?to be charged in the United States upon such newspapers, in stead of the postage of four cents, which it appear* has lxen hitherls collected, to enable the United States post office to defray the British transit rate. I havo the honor to be, sir, your obedient, humble servant., M. MABERLY. To the Postmaster General, ic., kc., Washington. The prompt and decided action of Judge Campbell in deserving of praise, and augurs well for the affairs of tbe department under bis administration. Tbe facts and figures with regard to tbe purchase of United State* stocks, have been incompletely stated. The following statement can be relied upon :?The only person employed by Mr. Corwin was Mr. Simeon Draper, who had seventeen hundred thousand dollars placed in his hands for the puruose of buying up United States stock. Up to this date all he has purchased amounts to but three hun dred thousand dollars, leaving a balance in his pa^sn^sion of fourteen hundred thousand dollars. This hat been ostensibly secured to the Treasury Department by the deposito of stocks of all descriptions, which would proba bly fall short if the department desired to raise the money upon them. The transaction is deemed a violation of the sub-treasury law, and an agent of the government |has been despatched to New York to investigate the circum stances. Independent of the ieg.it steps to be taken, tbe President will doubtleis ieol it his duty to lay tbe matter before Congress at the next session. It is believed that Mr. Corwin lias rendered himself liable to impeachment, and his being out of ofllce will not alTect the proceedings in the slightest. Without the aid of government brokers, laige amounts of stock are daily received at the treasury department, and liquidated uuder the recent law to that effect. X. Y. Z. BY MAIL. TIIE TOI-ICY OK T11K ADMINISTRATION?TIIK NEW ORLEANS CONTRACT?APPOINTMENTS. [From the Washington Republic, (whigorgan.) April 19 ] The administration are already realizing the perplexi ties w such responsibilities as theirs in tbe considern tiou of questions other than disputes of partisans relative to the division of the spoils. Thus they are deeply im mersed in problems of foreign policy, wl'iloh they conceive to have originated out of the last six years' galloping ex tension and increase of American interests in the West Indies, on the shores of the Carribnan sea, and wherever the waters of the 1'ncilic lave a continent or Island. It is said, in quarters in which I hare conihlence, that they have made up their minds that it will no longer answer to follow the beaten track of American diplomacy in such quarters, but that almost entirety new principles of action mist hereafter govern our policy there, which have for their basis the purpose of pushing with extreme vigor as well as protecting as hereto fore. our West Indian, Central American, and Pa cific commerce. They thus design, if possible, to take the lead of Britain in opening new foreign fleld-t for American enterprite, resorting boklly to pretty much the same means through which she has so far been ena bled to preserve her commercial supremacy against the rivalry of all nations. Thus we are about to meet her on many fields, tustelisg and wrangling for privileges at least in all respects equal to those which her two hun dred years of persevering energy have seeured for her. Tli is purpose on the part of our goverement, can hardly fail to end in naval recommendations in December next, such as will astonish the democratic Senators and mem bers from the rural districts. Nevertheless, as without a corresponding navy, big words from miniates plenipo tentiary are simply jokes, their rural honors must Tote to fcot the bill, or fee content to check the progress of our foreign commerce, which is just now expanding at a rate producing practical results almost as astonishing as the wonders of the Arabian tales. Heretofore it has very generally been impossible to beat into the heads of honora ble members from rural regions the fact that the pros perity of their distticta is. In a great measure, the result of the prosperity of the business men of the oom mereial cities, whose representatives, on the contrary, understand sufficient of the laws of trade to knew thai thU ruk worM b.tfi w?;?. BuMtkt h? tration ere about to undertake their instruction in this now almost self evident theory, or rather truth, they will doubtless learn rapidly, happily abandoning the Epnnv-wise and pound-fooliah axiom* which have eretofore go\erned their \oten on naval uuestions. The President is recovering hi* health and strength. To day, thanks to the gradual din|ienion of the office aeeler*, four fifth* of whom have gone, he look* far bet ter than at any previous time since reaching the federal city. The Cabinet were today upon the Rhode Ialand ap pointments, it is judged Their action ha* not yet trans pired. It is >aid on the avenue that the only question in i**nn delaying the signing of the great contract with Glover and Mather for a twice a day mail, by low pressure boats, between New Orleans and St Louis, is whether such beats can navigate the Mississippi above New Orleans. After being prepared, ready to be signed when tho new 1'oetmabter General entered office, many member* of Congre*f>, (nrged on, I presume, by disappointed bidders) pressed him to delay carrying it out, and he has done *o until he can investigate the only remaining point in issue, which was started, by-the-by, by iaenator Bright, who has always taken a wonderful* interest indeed in we*tern water* mail contracts. The price agreed to be paid is $450,000 per annum. We are likely to make a haul over of John Hull very shortly, the old gentleman having proffered to pav over certain postages which he has legally collected tor the ocean transit of newspapers from certain continental countries to ours, via tbft Collins line Br the instructions originally prepared in our Post Office * Department, the ocean postage* on such newspaper! were very generally collected from, the receiver* here. Thus double payment lina been the reault of thr bungling instruction* issued an tlii* side. A* the payments wore all very small, thero will be bo reclamation by the loser*, and whatever Mr. Hull will have to pay over will be *o much clear (but really illeital) gain to the Uuited State* treasury. It is to be hoped that Postmaster General Campbell will at once amend his instruction*; for such improper exaction* usually come from the pockets of those least able to bear them. The Hon.

William String, a butcher residing in the rear of the Ilrighten House, and holding stall No. 10 in Wado xtrcet Market, was arraigned before the Court on tho charge of telling unwholesome meat, as provided for in th*> ordinance. Mr. Todhunter. Market Master, testiled that he had been informed thai String had killed a dor en Sunday morning, and dressed it after the maaaer of dressing mutton, for the purpose of selling it is market. On receiving the information, he went to the slaughter house snd there found the dog suspended from a hook. ?? gulsrly droved, scored and prepared for market. Several witness ?? were examined relative to the charge, all ef whom corroborated the evidence of Mr. Todhunter, wtule one or two testified they had known the prisoner to pur chase a "slush" calf, three days old, ana offer its meat in market for sale; also diseased hogs. In fact, the evi dence elicited was ot the most revolting character, and well calculated to msk? mankind foreswear the use of meet for ever. One of the hands in the employ of String stated that he had killed the calf referred to, as well as the dog, but in extenuation of the latter stated that it was for the purpose of procuring the fat of the dog for medicinal purposes, the evidence however, wont to nhow that If the discovery of the killing of the dog had not been made, in all probability tho auim-il would havo b?.(.n offered in market, as mutton, from the fact oC its being carefully .dressed and scored, after the ir*WJ?r Of dressing such meat. The court, Judge Spooner, spoke nfc some length on the euonuity of the crime, charted mrainst the ptisoner, and the necessity of strictly oa foroing the laws in regard to the selling of impure meats.
