It has more readers in the cities of Washington, Georgetown, and Alexandria, than oil the other Wash ington dailies combined. TILE WEEKLY STAR, for to-day, is filled with interesting reading matter, among which will be found the following tales: The "Ghost of a Lore Story," " Auricular Confession," and " The Beau tiful Maniac.11 Several gems of Poetry, Washington News and Gossip, interest ing " Local Intelligence," proceedings of Congress, Domestic and Foreign news from all quarters, and a large amount of instructive personal information, making it decidedly one of the best papers pub lished anywhere. The Weekly Star is closely printed, containing eight pages, or forty columns of reading matter, at the extremely low price of one dollar and quarter a year. SPIRIT OF THE.MORinHG PRESS. The Intelligencer, containing a highly laudatory notice of the country proposed to be acquired under the Gadsden treaty, from the Boston Post, on the authority of Major Steiner, thinks there must be some mistake about the Major's endorsement of such an account of the region in ques tion, and adds, that no such view of it i* borne out by ex-Governor Lane, of New Mexico, who traveled it in company with the Major, and who is now in Washing ton to answer for himself. The Union, discussing our relations with Mexico, conceives it highly import ant in the present juncture of our nation* al affairs, that all our outstanding issues with her should be settled with as little delay as possible. The same journal, commenting on the shouts of the aboli tionists over their fancied triumphs in securing the commitment of the Nebras ka bill, says that its friends " have cal culated upon embarrassment from the coalition of fanaticism and faction, but they have never doubted their final tri umph over all opposition. They will profit by the lessons of wisdom taught them by their enemies." The Sentinel criticises Mr. Cutting's now famous motion of reference, saying in the course of its well considered article on the subject? '-We do not hesitate to say that, no matter what coarse aaay be hereafter taken by them, we cannot cease to regret, to deplore the movement that has been made by Mr. Catting and those who aot with him. We do not ques tion the right of any member of Congress to take bis own ?ourse on the great measure of public policy, in relation to which he is called to act. Hot will we be so ungenerous and un just as to call in question the motives of any gentleman. Tney are responsible to their consciences and their constituents for their vote* and public aots. Bat yet, aa the con ductors of a political journal here, we woald be derelict in duty, false to the public, and i*!*e to ourselves, if we did not speak, and .-pea* frankly, of the public acts of public men."' ? We have, therefore, given all the specu lations, views, and solutions of the movement fo which we refer, entertained and expressed by different journals and individuals. We will now candidly state our own. In doing ?o. we are influenced as well by the kindest i*r#onal feelings as by considerations of pub lic good. We have already said tbat we de plore this movement. We do deeply deplore it. However well meant it may be, however much the participants in it may be in favor of tbe great constitutional doctnne of congres ?wnal non-intervention, their hostility to the Senate bill which pawed that body by so overwhelming a vote, and which is so accept able to the sooth, cannot have any other than on unhappy effect. We eannot divest ourselves of tne fear that the originators of this move ment were, perhaps unconsciously to them selves, influenced oy their unfortunate rela tions to the administration. Tbat Mr. Cutting is, and from the first has been in favor of the principle of non interven tion we know. We do not doubt his fidelity, but he will pardon us for saying we do doubt the policy of his movement. BENEFIT OF MR. W. R GOODALL To-night, our talented young friend, Mr. W. R. Goodall, will take his benefit at the Yariete. The piece selected for the occasion is "The Corsican Brothers." W e would remind those who hare not seen thw play that they will lose a rich trt-at by neglecting the present opportu nity. We hazard nothing in the asser tion that the acting of Mr. Goodall, as the two Corsican brothers, is the sublime of the rodo-drama, and that he has made the characters his own. The tout en semble of the piece is magnificent, nothing having been spared to render it "perfec tion,"' and the herp of the piece will be well supported by the members of the new "star company." There ought to be a crowded house, as we have no doubt that there will be. Mr. Goodall merits such a mark of esteem, and the play de serves it. "The Widow's Victim" con cludes the evening's entertainment. Zy* In referring to the paragraph in the Star which reads thus: "We are sat isfied from reliable private advices, that not a single Edmund Burke man has been elected to the Legislature"?the Balti more American says: "The Star has a remarkable capacity for being * satisfied' with what is satis factory in certain quarters in Washing ton. We think that as far as the Ad ministration is concerned, it has been most effectually ' Burked' in New 11amp- j -hire." he insinuation about our 44 capacity for being satisfied" is rather small for men professing so much dignity as our friends of the American. However, they no doubt measure our corn in their own bushel. Give us namea and figures, Mr. American, and then we will talk to yon " like ft Dutch uncle." Tbe New York Day Book proposes to publish the lives of all the present members of Congress. Each number of the I'apwr is to contain at least one biog raphy. It has commenced with tbe life cf Senator Doagias, aad^*js that the de th* paper was so great that it * uld not be supplied without ft reprint WASHDTOTOH M1WB A*D 908817. The vary last Clemens Latter.?Washington hu been not a little excited for forty-eight homra over t letter written by Ex-Senator Clemens, of Alabama, to the editor of the Huntsville Alabama Advocate, wherein that gentleman says: '?But * few days singe, in a conversation with a Northern Senator and myself, he [Presi dent Pierce] gave it as his decided opinion that Douglass' bill was a proposition ' in favor of freedom'?and added that if it should pass, Although we might absorb the whole of Mexico, not another slave State would ever rome into t/ia Union. He expressed great surprise at the opposition it met with from the North, and equal surprise that the South should be willing to take it. I agreed with him fully, and could not help recurring to the s*r?tA|Nim by which tli? Greeks effected the destruction of Troy.' Such an understanding of the words of Pres ident Pierce is, of course, sufficient to explain the excitement on the subject of this letter, which has existed here, as above explained Now, it is known around the city, in politi cal cirelas, that Col. Clemens, yesterday, on seeing the above extract from his letter to Mr. Davis, in other journals, with comments which he did not oonceive to be warranted by what ue meant to express, promptly addressed to the President a note, in which he remarked that he did not pretend, in his letter to Mr. Davis, to give General Pierce's language, and thinks it very probable that he misunderstood his re marks. He is said to add in this note, that the President did not express ''surprise that the .South should be willing to take the Nebraska bill." But surprise that the men of the North, who intend to give the South their rights under the Constitution, should hesitate to support Judge Douglas' bill, when the South were willing to take it." The President, as we un derstand Mr. Clemens says in this explanatory note, haa always, whenever they have con versed upon the subject, expressed himself warmly in favor of the principle of the territo rial bill now pending. Namely: that of popular sovereignty; and has always insisted that the bill was just for both sections of the confeder acy, and that both ought to support it. Mr. Clemens, however, probably does not concur with the President in that view, if we may draw conclusions from his letter to Mr. Davis. The Proposed Combination.?Extraordinary efforts are just now being made to organise ail the possible elements of opposition in the House. The scheme is the work of the "Con science" party, which desires to lead in the eyes of the country, of course in the hope of turning to their own advantage the mass of any anti-administration combination they may manage to make. The Whigs, as a party, do not take to them. The lobby (which has cause to realize that the Administration's emphatic opposition to their plans, one and all, has done much to render the prospects for their success this winter so exceedingly blue) is working manfully to perfect the desired secret organisation. Every nominal democratic mem ber who is known for a disappointed man. is being sounded cautiously to ascertain how far he is willing to go in the work of aiding to defeat the measures of the Government. As such gentlemen do not care to show their hands in such work, for their accommodation the game of this combined opposition will be played as far as possible on questions, and under circumstances, in which it will prove ex ceedingly difficult to fasten on those who are secretly aiding it, the fact that they are I rowing one way, while seeming to look ia ano-1 ther direction. It strikes us that they have at last fairly 1 bagged some of the New York Hards, from the fact that the Southern members are just now any thing but complimentary to those gentle-1 men, when criticising their professions by the I light of their practioe. Ever since the last I split took place in " the party" in New York, I we have steadily proclaimed the belief that I the Hards were, most of them, very slippery. I Again and again we have taken occasion to I call public attention to the fact. W? believe I that, so soon, they have demonstrated to the I satisfaction of all in Congress, that it will be I exceedingly unsafe to calculate in any case I that they will stand by what they vaunt as their principle*, if it appears likely in the re-1 moteat degree that they can make a point I against the President, by proclaiming to the I world in their votes, that their professions are I a mere cloak to aonceal purposes they dare not I avow. That man does not live who believes I that their cause of disaffection springs from a I higher source than that of disappointment in I the division of the "spoils;" or who is not I satisfied that, had they been permitted to die-1 tate the Administration's policy with reference I to the distribution of office to New Yorkers! from first to last, they would have been the I most earnest partisans of the present Adminis-1 tration. These facts are now so very patent I as to deprive them, utterly, of the slightest ] sympathy on the part of the few Democratic I members of Congress who were at first reluc- I tant to find them failing to carry their point I with the National Administration. Of course I we except the two or three sympathising gen-1 tlemen who have personal grievances of their I own, at heart. I We make these remarks, because we find I that some of the Hards are still bent on play-1 ing fast and loose; aiming, evidently, to effect I objects which they dare not proclaim. The} I have fairly entered into the combination refer-1 red to above, and so far, are the only nominal I Democrats who have been roped into it, past I all chance for a withdrawal in time to save I their connection with " the party." I We feel very certain that the main body ol I "the party" in the House are being worked I up, rapidly, to the point of driving off all, who, I professing to be true to their organization, I aim to defeat its measures. They have reluc-1 tantly come to the oonclusiou that their prin-1 ciplea demand of them that they shall force I such gentlemen into open oppoaition to the I Democratic party, with as little delay as posai-1 ble. Those taking an interest in the pro-1 gress of public affaire at this point, may I speedily look out for squalls in the Hall. Who's Entitled to the Premium.?Our re-1 marks under this caption, have elicited two I communications?one to the Star, and one 1 to the Union?which apparently assume that some imputations have been made on the dis-1 bursing officers in New Mexico and California. 1 What we stated were facts, and we know them to be correet; but no imputation was thrown upon any body. We stated in substance, and we reiterate, that drafts for large amounts were drawn by disbursing offieera in those places, payable in New York, from 1850 to 1854; that exchange was in favor of New York from 3 to 5 per cent.; that no premium was credited for the largest amounts drawn ; that the explana tion, and that a change had been made in the mode of supplying them with funds, by which they would reeeive them in future from the public depositary at San Francisoo. We also said that when exchange was against the United States at any place where Government drafts ware drawn, (and money raised on them by tha disbursing officers) the discount was charged to the United States. We say so now, and can produce fifty instanoe* ia an hour ? time We did not say in California, because ! we supposed that so far from thesa?drafta being at a discount there, they would have com manded a premium. We take it that ?' Chi nooh/1 in the Um?n ia fee same correspondent who addressed us of the S$ar on the subject, *nd who oonfines himself in both to the years 1349. 1850 end 1851. In his communication to as, he said that no officer received a pre mium. and therefore none was credited to the Government He is entirely mistaken; for we have seen the proof that one officer credited nearly fourteen thousand dollars in his aocount, for premium received on drafts. Does * Chi nook" dispute the fact that from 1851 to 1854, (when the great bulk of the drafts were drawn,) sight drafts on New York were at a premium in San Francisco? or does he allege that the credit of the Government was not as good a? that of private individuals ? or that there was no public depositary during those years at San Francisco1 As we understand it, nothing could have prevented a more proper occasion to call for explanation, unless officers are impeccablo and irresponsible. If the officers did not re ceive a premium, and could not have obtained it, they will not be required to account for any; if they did receive, or oould have re ceived any, it seems to us that Uncle Sam should have the benefit of it?and that is the whole story. An Important Change ii the Government's Customs' System.?The bill which passed the House yesterday to enlarg? the bonded ware house system, bids fair grsatly to increase the number of importers of foreign goods of all descriptions in the Unitsd States, as well as to increase, heavily, the aggregate amount of their importations. Th? late establishment of our existing bonded waiehouee system was an important step forward in our national race to commercial suprema<y; increasing greatly the number of American importers by facili tating importations, and decreasing the cash payments be/ore sale, oj goods brought hither from abroad Mr. Fulbr's bill, passed by the House yesterday, great|y increases the advan tages to those in trade, superinduced by the plan now in operation; while at the same time it cannot fail to prove most beneficial to the Government itself. At present the aggregate amount received for storage of goods in bond, by the Government, falls far short of the ex penses of their bonded warehouses?far short. The system as now in operation, besides failing to pay its own expenses, has added extensively to the patronage of the customs department of the public service, and tbus inflicted a positive injury on the morals of the country, which have been more seriously debauched in the universal scramble for office, than from any other one cause we know of. The new scheme 1.?, to abolish the Government establishments of the kind, and tc allow any private individuals disposed to enter into the business under proper guards and restrictions, to do so at will. Their buildings must be in all respects suitable, and one key is to be in the keeping of a customs' officer, the other being in that of the private proprietor of the establishment, who is author ized thus to hold goods under bond awaiting sales ere the duties are paid, for three years, instead of for one. as at present. The risk from fire or other damage is to bo wholly that of the owner of the goods and of the private bonded warehouieman. Such, in brief, are the leading features of the proposition, for which the commercial public ewe much indeed to Mr. Fuller, of Maine, the Chairman of the House Committee on Commerce. A Hew Era in Washington. ? Strong minded women and crank minded men seem to be holding a saturnalia in this city at the present writing. All Washington is agog, as it were, about spirit rappings, woman's rights, <t j., and folks who can ill-afford such luxuries are shelling out their dollars and quarters in payment for enlightenment on such topics. Humbugging, in these two lines, has become a re^lar business, to be followed in this region by shrewd penny-turning Yankees of both sexes. From the courageous young ladies, who had the cheek to bone "sporting men" around lottery office corners., to buy books of their own nominal writing, up to Lucy Stone, with her countenance incapable of a blush, we take it, we have had among us of late all sorts ot '? strong minded women bent on reforming society in some way or other, and every mother's daughter of them taking due care to demand ample quid pro quo for their disinter ested labors. As far as we can perceive, they have not yet made a single convert to their plan of unsexing ladies, among those of Wash ington, nor have they managed, so far, to in duce a man of this city to enlist under the banner of the now famous Mrs. Stanton, of somewhere in New York, the acknowledged leader of the movement, whose father, Judge Cady. by-the-by; is said to address her in these times: ''My Dear Sir." The spirit rapping men are now also offering their services for the enlightenment of folks here, for a consideration, of oourse. They demand handsome pay for placing folks in communication with friends in the other world, or for the privilege of hearing how that thing has been accomplished, elsewhere. We presume that they are making money to a cer tain extent. But they are making no converts among persons belonging here; this region be ing too far South for such notions to obtain any foothold. With the exception of a few ner vous or very credulous people, their patrons are almost entirely strangers, coming from re gions wherein iams of all sorts obtain credence for a time, as they successively arise. It re joices us to know that, though both these sets of individuals, so bent on remodelling society at a dash, have made extraordinary efforts to es tablish themselves here, as a sort of institution, they have failed, quite as decidedly as im modesty, charlatanerie, and monomania ever before failed, anywhere. From London.?A friend in London writes us by the last steamer, saying : "As you will see, the papers show that war ;s certain. From good sources here, I find it is even more absolute than the papers repre 1 a^nt. You can rely on it that the Czar will i irillingly fight the combined powers. Austria will do him no harm if she does not change front altogether. He relies on the hatred of the French for the English to break the alli ance after the first fire and drive Napoleon from his position; and this, from the circum stances, is not improbable. I ' 'Mazsini, Kossuth, and Ledru Rollin, all now fraternise, and are united in their views and operations, and ready to seize the vantage grounds. ?'By-the-way, our friend Sanders had these and other notables together at a dinner at his house last week. It was the rage of the city. George is a lion among them. 14 Old Buck" is in good health, though very tired of his place. It is said here Smith O'Brien was pardoned through B.'s influence. .Sickles is on the Continent at this time. More anon." Dull Timet.?We are just now without a si ngle lion in Washington, not a man of peculiar note from abroad being among us. Proposed land donations to aid in the construction of Railroads, brought a flock of ex-members to W ashington, who have disappeared since the last project of that kind was so emphatically disposed of by the House. Such gentlemen are no longer to be daily seen occupying seats of members in the House hall, as lately, looking far more earnestly interested in the current proceedings, than three-fourths of those charged by the people with the duty of participating in them. *?

Well, gentlemen, how do you like being classed with Abolitionists? CAPTURE OF KALAFAT. The most awakening intelligence by the Pacific, is in the shape of a rumor, to the effect that the Russians had attacked Kalafat, demolished the fortifications, and massacred the inhabitants without mercy. The following account, from the London Times, of Kalafat, is interest ing: This place, of which so much has been said lately, is a town of 2,000 houses. It is surrounded with walls, has a quar antine, a town hall, a custom-house, three churches, and a cavalry barracks. It is the chief place of a sub-administra tor s district. The redoubts raised by the Turks are of great extent and very strong. They are partially raised on two high hills on the plains of Kalafat, about a mile distant from each other, and have a numerous artillery. All the neighbor ing country is commanded by these hills, in such a way that no approach to the Danube can be made. In 1828 these hills were occupied and fortified by the Russians. Between Widdin and Kalafat the Danube is little less than a milo wide, and the couree of it is very rapid. The island in which the Turks are fortified is situated near the left bank; is is partly covered with wood, and is defended by strong entrenchments in earth, bearing large artillery. Above Widden the Turks have constructed a new citadel, according to all the rules of art. 01" We wish it distinctly understood that we publish nothing of a private oi personal nature that is not paid for as as advertisement.

In addition to what we give in our despatch of yesterday, dated New Or leans 23d inst, announcing the arrival of the steamer United States, with later news from California, we hare the follow ing: The accounts from Walker's, Sonora Expedition are to the 15th of February. The steamship Columbia and the U. S. sloop-of-war Portsmouth arrived at Ense nada on the 14th. Walker had spiked his guns, and started for St. Thomas, with a force of 140 men and one field-piece, leaving behind six or seven sick and wounded. Many of his followers had deserted, and those remain* ing were quite despondent, having aban doned all hopes or success. The San Francisco markets continued excessively depressed and stagnant. Su perfine Gallego aud Haxall Flour was held at $8.5Ua$9. Clear Pork sold at $19, and Mess at $16. The mining accounts are exceedingly favorable. Owing to copious rains, large quantities of gold had been dug?more than for many previous months?and the miners appear to be all prospering. Among the passengers from California is Thomas F. Meagher. From Panama ,. An Indian from the interior had come into Panama, and stated that Lieutenant Ntram s surveying party had been killed by wild beasts. The story was not be lieved, it being supposed that the party hud been killed by the Indians. QI7" The Western papers give gloomy accounts of the growing wheat crop. In Southern Michigan the complaint is gen I eral, that the wheat looks sere and faded.

Land Records of the County of Washington, ihtrt conclusively that the iDHtrument nhe refers to Is no1 wortti the paper upon which it is written. I deny the existence of any title, in law or equity to this property, even in the husband of Mrs. South worth; aod will only add that it would have bette become Mrs. 8. to have commenced her efforts legally in a Court of Justice?though that is bad enough. Her eop issary failed to get possession of the onl' one of the three negroes I cared to bold in serviind and I feel perfectly well assured she will have m better success in her attempt to effect a judicial rot bery. j.
