Proud of my country, I fool mortified to see the hands to whom Its destinies are con fided. Take away the Judges oi the 8upreme Court and officers of the army and navy, (the only permanent officeholders in the country,) and 1 see nothing in the in dividuals, as a mass, who control its affairs, to cosomind admiration, and very little to warrant esteem. The men who framed the republic, its founders, were it* greatest ornaments. Merit, capacity, virtue, intelligence, were then of some account. Tobacco, whiskey, dross coats in the morning, (not very important, but significant;) the stump, vulgarity and hypocrisy anl buncombe new rule the nation. Decay is stamped on our apparent blooming life and vigorous prosperity. Our only hope is in some new, strong, determined national party, a foo to hum bugs, political charlatans and official quacks, with the motto, " Down with dress coats and soiled shires in the mnininr? con-interferense by foreigners, and woe to political aspirants without merit, talents or decency."

The Impeachment of British Ministers. -The last mails tiring u? the Intelligence that Lord Ljadhurst, the ex-Chancellor of England, recently got np in Us place in Patli&ment for the purpose of moving the Legislature to an impeachment of the ministry. Perhaps it is not generally known that I .oid Lyndhurst ia an American by birth; bat so he is, as the baptismal register of Philadelphia will attest. In that oity, in the year 1769, John Single ton Copley was born. His father hai been long settled in the citj, aid even before the Revolu tionary era bad grown into fame by his picture of Lord Chatham's death. In 177C the family want to Eng'and, and John, the only son, studied at the bar, wbence he arore to the woolsack, which he has oc cupied thrice, and which he has adorned by elo quence such as the world has scarcely ever wit nessed. We are informed, tbaough a very reliable source, that the spectacle of this venerable lawgiver, in the eighty sixth year of his age, arising in the most illustrious assembly of Europe, to Bx the work cf imperial treason on the advisers of the Crown, and probably on something nearer the Crown, was really a meat solemn thing. Suppssing the elucida tion cf this war in the Crimea to be induoed by Lard Ljndhurst, has not the American spirit something to do with it ? In other words, would it be wonder ful that a Yankee mind ihould revolutionize Europe? The Ball Season. The ninth annual ball of tUe 14 M. W. Grand Lo3ge of tlie Ancient and Honorable Fraternity ot' Free and Ac cepted Masons of the State of New York,' 1 was given on Tuesday evening, at Ntblo'* saloon. Thin Grand Lodge meet* at 600 Broadway, and originated in a division on a question cf representation which aro*e in 1849. This Grand Lodge, although very much in the minority in re gtrd to the number of subordinate lodges under jurisdic tion. numbers in its ranks som* of the oldest and best masons in the State. The annual ball in given in aid of the charitable fund ol the Grand Lodge, and the affair of Tuesday night must have netted a banlsomt sum. About seven hundred ladies and gentlemen were present, and among the company we noticed many members of the Fraternity who are not attached to lodges under this jurisdiction, which fact proves that a liberal feeling irf gaining ground in the Order, and that many Hasans un der both Grand Lodges aie desirous that tlie schism may be healed. The ball was a successful and well conducted festival. Tte guests were received by a reception committee? Brothers C. J. Chipp. George Godfrey, J. G. Wilson, Thomas Brown, William D. Hinds, and Pinsn* King. Dcdworth's quadrille band played a Masonic inarch composed for the occasion, and the dance was commenced at about nine o'clock. At midnight an excellent supper was served, under the su perintendence of Mr. Vesoy. The It. W. D. G. M., Nathaniel F. Waring, of Brooklyn, presided at the sup per table, and gave several appropriate sentiments, which were responded to by the guests of the grand officers. At one o'olock dancing was resumed, and kept up un til near four o'clock. But few persons prnsent, except the grapd officers, appeared in regalia; but the floor presented a brilliant appearance. There were many verv pretty women at this ball, and they were all taste* fully attired. The banner of the Grand Lodge was dis played in front of the orchestra. TUe Floor Committee, Brothers IlerTing. Feutchwanger, Tate, Manslield and Ttacy, performed their task wilh promptness and dis cretion. Altogether, the members of the crait under this jurisdiction have every reason to l>e pleased with this temporary suspension of "labor" for the purpose ef "refreshment." The annual iancy dress ball given by Monsieur and Madame Ferrero to their pupils and friends will tske i place to-night, at their residence, Fourteenth street. No perton will be admitted unless in fancy costume. Mardi Grcu (30th instant) will be celebrated by our ? French residents by a grand ball at Tammany Hall On the sune night the French residents of Boston will give I a ball in aid of the funds of their Benevolent Society. Pirtonai Intelligence. ARRIVES.

A Mother and Thrkb Cium>ren B<rnki> to I'?uth mC**lU.-lt is our melancbily task to mention the above sad results of an imprudent visit with a light ed candle to a cat r?t. On Wednesday night one of the dsughtsrs of a widow named Tardif, residing with her sii children in a small house at Cap Blanc, on the Core road, went to the garret Id search of something, when a spark fell Irom her candle and ignited a quantify of oatura ly ing en the floor The mother and on* of the children, sge.ielven years threw themselves upon the flames to sinolhrr tbem, but 'o vain, and the entire garret was soon In one blare. Heelug no means of extinguish!** the conflagration, and thinking they were all doornail to die, tke frantic mother selxeu her intant irom the cradle, and tugging it in her arms let herself and child fall on the floor together. The daughter, aged eleven, tmbraced one of her young sisters, and at once followed her mo tber's example. Providentially, at the same m'tm-nt, a younger child, seed only three years, rushed out and alarmed the neighbors, who eatne in haste and drew the miserable victims from the flames. Theeldestdaugaler, the boyo f nine year*, and the Infant have since died ef their injuries, and there exists but little hope of savin* the fourth child.

M ore EJJiigy Burning ? The Brothers -in- Law in Flames ? Bray'* Amendment to tke Census Bill? Plan of the Anti-Know frothing Campaign? The Temperance Bill Dodges. Last evening, after the close of the session, the mem ber* of the legislature and the citizens of Albany gene rally were treated to one of Sam's entertainments, with out distinction of party. About half past 10 o'clock the dark nets of the night wae for a wh.Ie dispelled by two blazing Bret? one kir died on the hill in front of the Capitol, and the other opposite the office of the Evening Journal. In the midst of the former was seen a huge, ?traw stuffed figure, scorching and hissing and crackling away, until licked up by the broad tongue* of flame, and reduced to a heap of blackened ashes. A large placard upon its forehead informed the spectators that this was the effigy of " The Traitor Llttlejoha." The latter also consumed its " man of straw," the effigy of the Speaker's brothec-in-law, the expectant of the poit of Health Officer, labelled ''Thompson." The burning of the two figures was witnessed by an immense concourse of people, who groaned and hooted around the flames, and j bestowed marks of their attention upon Seward, Weed, j and other leaders of the anti-Know Nothing crusade. Bray Eickenson's proposed amendment to the Census I bill, which contemplate* taking the appointment of the Marshals, ke , from the Supervisors and Common Coun - cils, and giving the same to the Secretary of State, ex cite* waim debate in the Senate, but will probably be driven through. " Every little helps," and it ia de ilgned to ute every possible crumb of patronage through out the State upon those known to be opponents of the Slow Nothing movement. The policy of the Seward leaders begins to show Itself more undisguised^ every day. The echoes of the Albany Journal throughout the State, are casting aside their temporizing, timid deport ment towards the order, and boldly denouncing its prin ciples and branuing all who belong to it as " Hindoos." War to the knife is the order whien has issued from the i captain general's quarters, and war to the knife It will j be. Fusion in every city and town where Know Nothing ism has displayed its power proscription of every man ] who does not openly and bitter'y denounce the order; favors and pickings of all kinds, large and small, for those who will join in the hue ana cry againnt Hindoo ism; these are the appliances bv which the tide of I Americanism is to be checked, and the flood turned once more into the sllmv, stagnant pool of Sewardlsm. The Temperance bill, as reported baok from the com mittee last night, will be driven through the House with all its imperfections on its head. This you can rent astuied is the policy designed for ensuring its ultimate defeat. It ha* betnmade yet more objectionable by the committee by the Insertion of two additional section* which I copy in full: ? "It e hall be unlawful lor any person to become intoxi cated, and for each offence he shall be liable to a fine of twonty-flve dollars, to be sued for and recovered in the game manner as fines in the fourth section of this aot. and in default of the payment thereof he shall (tend committed as prov-Setl in 'said fourth section; provided, nevertheless, if said prison shall upon said trial, or before prosecution, voluutarily testify freely, fully and fairly re gardlng the procurement and receipt of the liquor which prcdaced his -Antoxieatien, the person or persons of whom, and on what terms, it was obtained or received, the time and place of suoh receipt, and all the circum stances regarding It, and shall appear upon the trial of the person or fkrsons of whom he procured said liquor, If any complaint shall be entered against him, and there in the same manner freely, fully and fairly give said testimony, he shall he discharged from all liability for bavlrg besome so intoxicated, unless procured in Yipla- I tian of the lent clause of *ectlon 4 of this act? in which case he shall be punished as therein provided? but the testimony io given shall not, in any case, be used against him in any civil or criminal action, exoept upon an indictment and trial for perjury. All suoh fines shall be applied to the support of the poor of the city or town where the offence is committed." "No person, company or corporation engaged in the csrrviog either of persona or property shall act as agent , for any person for the purchase of any liquor* other j than those authorized by this act, to sell the same, . while engaged in such carryicg trade. Whoever shall j vio'ate this provision shall be liabte to a penalty of one hurdred dollars and three months imprisonment, as herein provided, to be sued for and recovered in the ! same manner as is provided for violation* of lection fi:?t of this act." The bill is thus rendered as odious and as stringent a* possible, and will be driven through upon the "high pres sure" principle. This is designed to create opposition t> it In tbe Senate. That body will cut it to piece-, and ] send back the mutilated remains at a late day of the eesrion. Tbe appirectly warmest advocates of the present bill in the House will assume an injured and dignified air, and while pretending to fight valiantly for their bantling will really ensure its sacrifice on the altar of political expediency. The old programme of a com mittee of conference will, as usual, end in smtke, and the chsnces are that tbe session will olose without the psissgo of a prohibitory law. DALTON.

York In a Piutaie_FWheU to be Ex P*e**d?Th? Itanu KUetrher*. The much wi.hed for "thaw," from which we had an tieipated *uch good effect*, In the way of softening the awitii of our fair city datura toward* their lighlng \ alentines," has been c?m?letely overdone. It wai not only a "thaw," but a r*gular deluge, which we experienced ye.ter.lay, aud the effect., to far, hare Uen most saddening. Ladle, could not atir front the parlor fire* to welcome the drenched and fatigued poat man who delivered crumpled, damped, .tained, and dirty looking valentines, instead of the 'Muck." and "dears" and beau tie.," which they expected. The little boy., who took on them to go up town with the bespangled and perfumed pack.r^., direct from the publiaher*, after floundering about tHrough miniature fre.h water ponds, reached the Fifth avenue iu safety, but only to hand in the axodt nondescript bundles, consisting of melted paper d'unolved wafers, and li,,uU paint. The housemaid* and nurses who had been flattening their noses against the m:sty window panes fioas early morning, were called away to assist In llft ng up a carpet, or balling water from the front basement, juat aa '< Boyd 'a man" was coming along, so that many of them mlf.ed getting their own valentines, and were at the tame time deprived of the pleaaure of knowing exactly how many he handed to Fr dget who lives across the itreet. Altogether, it wan ? dreadful day for love matters, and poor Cupid looked ? ? woe begone and bedraggled as an offlcer of the allied army would after a night in the treathe. before Sebas topol. The sufferings of Saint Valentine.him.elf, when beaten to death with clubs, were nothing when com pered to those of a Vew York postman exposed to the pelting of the pitiless rain storm" of yesterday. There is a "good time coming." During the morning of yesterday a violent tempest r.. I ,?na T*?* br0k? 0n the '"J' and continued to ge untU a late hour in the afternoon. The streets 222 ?? "!!! flUed With "now ?nd ice, were soon con rerted Into gifet fllthy puddle*, and the unhappy pede*. trians were compelled to wade literally knee-deep in the i "DP ^*"nt sluih' In m*n7 places, where the Ice had become packed, and was above the level of the sidewalk a constant stream of dirty, y.Uowi.h water kept flowing,' converting the walk for a while into a gutter, full of the refuse of the .treet. All along Broadway, in rut, that had been cut out by the sleighing of the last few day*, irr/r fom#a- ww<* p~??teiv.rvM. riou. obstacles to all kind* of pedestrian!., m. it was truly pitiable te tee females, generally young girl?-who are competed to attend to their work" no matter the state of the weather-attempt to cross the street, the* attention distracted by the double duty of holding an umbrella and attending to their be draggled skirt*. And so the day passed. From the great accumulation of .now in the atreeta and on the housetops, aerious apprehensions of damage were entertained in the city from a flood. It was feared ? ? T?7* CeU*? to tb? l0wer Part 0' the city wonld be flooded and much Injury result. But the rain fell in the day time wh.le people could see to make the necessary exertions to gnard themselves against Its effects. An other tirc.m*t?nce which contributed largely to prevent' evil consequences from the flood, was the fact that un der the efflcUnt administration of Mayor Wood, the po lice h.d rigidly enforced the laws regarding the clearing the sidewalks and gutter* of snow. This enabled the water to flow rapidly Into the *ewers. In ?ie absence of any action by the Commissioner of Creels and Lamps, or the street contractors, to facili tate travel, the police were employed to dear those p?r. tlons of the city most used. Sergeant Munn and a .quad of reserve, were at work during the morning with pick axe, and crowbar. removing the thick mas.es of ice in " way, below the Park. It i. to be hopes that the authorise* will see to it that the .ewer* are kept unob Wn!n'80,S,!0Jaff0rd D# to the street*' being thoroughly drained.

Hi* Po litic*?Rtjoicing?8wtff in the City Council. Yesterday was a giand day In (be history or ma nlcipal sfftlrs for tbls once "only democratic city." A moregloricas sad complete triumph sever was ichitved by any party than vss yesterday achieved by the Know Nothings. They elected every candi date Ibat cculd be elected by any one party, bat one, and that one was defeated by bnt six of a majority- Oat of forty sight offices to be fliled, to lcots bnt oce mast send a glow of enthaaissm throughout the whole country, and cannot fall to it spire every lover of his country to forsake the falte god* they have so long been worshiping, as the majority of the whig and democratic voters of this ancient citadel of democracy did yesterday, in spite of biibes and threats, ram, lager bier and sonr-kront. Lancaster city never had such a deluge of mm and "byariih"' as she had aincetne beglsnisg of laat wetk. AH sorts of partle. were kept up all over tfce city, to ahow how At a man Mr. Kieflfer wai to be re-elected Mayor, and to put down the rascally Know Nothings. Sourkront dinners were got up in German style. K?en bang hole dances played a conipicious part la the programme; but all to no avail. The Ameri cans were trne to themselves and their candidates, and when the polls closed at 7 o'clock, Jaeob Al bright had ? majority in every ward of the city, making 260 majority. It wis the largest poll ever caat at n city election, there being over 2,1(4) votes. Tbere were about half a dosen traitor* to theif party sad their ountry, who had too much of the old bartering after the victory, whim they tbooght weald be on the sids of the old fogies and "old Whiter,' aa baa teen the case for yews past, aad they prowled about the election polls of the city, dtcp'itd and treated with cold indifference, and unab'e to Itflaence a dozen "Americans" to jjitj them in tteir baseness. Their harvest lay in another Beld- the "better citisens," with the "sweet Off man acceat and rles Irish brogue," were for then. Even they could not in every instance be induced te join them in potting down the "d? d Know Na thirgv.'' la more taaa one instance did ths adopted citizen come with his "hsartta the right pi we," and ask these be knew were distributing the Ameri can tickrt, for a ticket. More than one of that kind I saw vond- voted with n fseling that could not be mistaken for 'any otftar thanlthst of their oeanuy ecd good f?t their children nOse the* Ou old white haired Irishman said he wm was ?s anxious for election di; to coat ftl it* *^?* lie has been exercising tut privilege. Ho r ?oted to cut one rote for a ticket that was oompOOM purely of native born citizen*, an* not to be elected, u elected nt nil, by the inflneooe of tbe prieet and I the demagogues who oontrol the Ignorant horde Of foreign voters. He eeked no office for himself, and i if ever hl3 native born boja were lit for any, they would be looked to and for. Bat they were the people for this country, and alone were free from the lnflaenoe of corrupt priest* and Jesuit*, whMe allegiance ia to the Pope and not the constitution of tbe United Btatee. Alter tbe result was made known, a procession was formed, headed by a band of music, and cave the Mayor elect a serenade, and a few rounds of ohMrs, and Mayor Albright made a few appropriate re maiks, touching the moral efleot of ttus victory of Americanism, and the speedy and oertain over throw ef all combinations, or whatever form they may be, and wherever they msy be made; thanked them fcr their true and steady support, and hoped to prove worthy of their confidence and esteem; after which tbe procession marched through the principal streets, and like good Amerisans went home to bed, and this morning all was quiet, and the " country safe." Ihe new Councils meet to organize on Friday, when the new Mayor will be inagurated. and every vestige cf the old dynasties that have had posses sion of cur "city affairs" far the last twenty-five B^hts, will be wiped ont, and "the places that new ?m will know them no more." The old city oitl cere? from the highest to the lowest? with one or two honorable exceptions, have become an intolera ble ruisanoe, and it will be a public blessing to tarn all the "dirty birds" out. Tte affairs or our city government nave for years been under democratic rule, macaged by three or four men, and they alone knew anything about them, and what they aid was -too often of doubtful expediency; but it mattered not: they wculd alow of no investigation, and the public never got any satisfaction. Now they will know all, and I shudder lor the consequences. I saw one of the old city leeches coming along the street this mornicg, with bis head down, as if he were hunting something he bad lost. I look upon this sa the greatest Know Nothing victory of 1855. MARITIME INTELLIGENCE. Movements of Ocean Steamers. KAMI'S. LKAVK* rO? OATS.
