UR. CALHOUN’S SPEECH.
The views and senUments of Mr. Calhoun on
Bank question will excite much attent.on
lughout the country.
».■as.rrs»«'• *w
gues’it lhP Bank question. He said that the
only t0 which prevails is the excess of the pa
***** over the specie; the remedy, to di
Daper currency; and the means of
r the remedy, by using the Banks to
?er*thp disease which the Banks have intro- ]
cure J as you apply snow to the frozen limb,
dUf nnlv fire to extract fire. He did not go into
ana m jrThe United States Bank, he said, could
d€ «pwed for twelve years, prohibited from
be rcn n0tes under 10 dollars for the first six I
issuing ^ under 20 for the rest of the term: all
year* the Treasury under 10 dollars to be paid
dueS-° &c The details he left to be settled here
toAC°in,\lr C. also declared himself in favor of a
a ction of interest on discounts by the Bank.”
Telegraph speaks in the highest terms of
Mr. Calhoun’s speech._
BALTIMORE REPORT. *
[n jUstice to the respectable gentlemen who
‘ osc the Baltimore delegation that lately
! °lLded to W ashington, we publish their con
fiusive reply to Mr. Taney and Mr. McKim.
Mr Benton, having been employed for a week I
loading his cannon, applied the match on
Friday, in the Senate, and -fired. We under
and the crowd was immediately dispersed,
sUj that there was much smoke and noise. As
tr as we can learn, however, no one was kill
ed or wounded.___
In reference to a paragraph which recently
appeared in this paper, in which the name of
Mr. Amos Kendall was introduced, and which
as attracted considerable attention, we can
only say that it is not for us to be more explicit.
The Washington Correspondent of the Balti
more Patriot thus alludes to an incident which
occurred in the House of Representatives on
the 20th instant:—
a Blair, the giant-bodied Blair of the House,
not of the Globe, interrupted, as I understand,
Mr Pinckney, of South Carolina, when he was
saving that'the South w as united in opposing
the removal of the deposites, with the declara
tion, that ‘ that was an untruth.’ And on Mr.
Pinckney’s inquiring w’hat he said, he used still
harsher language. Blair, it is said, was in a
hi*h state of excitement, which means a good
deal more than I like to say; but if you remem
ber history in Washington, you will not misun
derstand the meaning.
•———
The Giobe thinks Mr. Calhoun is a greater
sinner than Mr. Webster about the Bank busi
ness. Mr. Webster is bad enough, thinks the
Globe, but Mr. Calhoun is outrageous.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania has, by a
•oint vote, fixed the 15th April for adjournment.
The venerable Ex-President Madison entered
upon his eighty-fourth year on Sunday the 16th.
He was born on the 16th March, 1751. With all
this weight of years, he retains his bodily health
remarkably well. A feebleness in his move
ments, which lessens his activity, and debars
him from exercise on horseback, are the only
marks of his advanced life.
Mr. Verplanck peremptorily declines the no
mination for Mayor of Newr York. The Inde
pendent Republicans must nowT look round for
astrong substitute. Among the gentlemen spo
ken of, are the following: Robert C. Cornell,
* Peter A. Jay, Silas M. Stillwell, William John
son, and Seth Geer.
Calamitous Fire at Syracuse!—A fire broke
out at Syracuse, N. Y. on Sunday last, which
consumed all the buildings on each side of the
Canal, between the two Canal Bridges. The
loss of property is estimated at Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars.
The following serious and just reflections are
made in a letter from the Washington Corres
pondent of the Portland Advertiser:
‘‘It is a solemn fact and I regret that it is so,
hut a fact worthy of grave and sober consider
ation, that if the single State of Delaware, small
as it is, powerless as it is comparatively speak
*ng, were at this moment to nullify a law of this
touon or to secede from this Union, the admi
nistration could not carry Congress with it, no,
not even a majority of the House of Repre
sentatives to compel this State to go back into
toe Union. Such is the temper and indignation
y toe representatives of the people in this city,
large masses of them think that if the purse and
hie sitord are to be in one & the same person as
toey now are, the Union is not worth preserv
tor it is but fostering a despotism by and
DV 10 enslave them. At this hour South Caro
‘na might nullify with perfect impunity. No
h°rce Bill could be passed. No Proclamation
‘ °hid awake any of the patriotism of the people
ifti Patr‘otism of “the party.” And yet
* toe government was a paternal government,
11 were administered in the spirit with which it
’•*ught to be administered, no State could secede >
“°m the Union.
nj The salvation of the Union is then to admi-1
>ter the government for the benefit of the
Oorf ’ the wMe People, and not for the party
, °r the governors. Government was insti
to m • r .^ie PeoPle> and when it is perverted
8v laintain the interests of the party, then the
l em °f government is no longer popular; it
onies odious. All these facts are matters of
COIlsidoration with the friends ot the
l°untry.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
Extract of a letter from a correspondent of the
N. Y. Star at London.
‘•My peer’s ticket admitted me to a fine and
full view of all the paraphernalia of the opening
of Parliament. No more than eighty can be ad
mitted, and I was among the fortunate number.
All the Lords, Noblemen of the kingdom, in
robes of state, were met to receive the king; on
both sides were peeresses, their daughters, and
apparently all the titled wealth of the kingdom.
Ostrich and birds of paridise flourished. Only
fourteen bishops were present. The Foreign
Ambassadors made a great display, in doors
and out—none more than Talleyrand and Es
terhazy, (where was ours?) The King, out of
doors, was received with cannon, plattoons, and
acclamations. After being magnificently rob
ed, he entered the room in great state, surround
ed by Earl Grey, the Chancellor, &c. the peers
and company all rising, till the King requested
them to be seated. He then looked about, ask
ing Earl Grey many questions about ladies.—
The Commons soon after rushed into the fold
prepared for them, when the King read off the
speech handed him by the Chancellor, kneeling.
It was read very audibly, and in speaking of
Ireland the word indignation, was pronounced
very, very emphatically. Ten minutes after he
finished, he retired in the same great state he ar
rived. The King seems to be an object to be
seen in perspective merely. I had a first-rate
seat, and thought I could discover the King was
on the wane; his voice sounded like an approach
to an apoplectic, and he must have had a terri
ble cold in the throat, or been asthmatic; he is
full and gross in habit. Every thing was order
in this assemblage; and I was much pleased at
the proceedings of the day, (4th February.)
I U .» rl n f i A V* f hn T4 AllCQ aT I A A
the 5th, which I attended, and witnessed the
whole affair between Lord Althorp and Mr.
Shiels. The former thrice adopted the respon
sibility of the assertion that an Irish member who
had voted and spoke against the coercion bill,
afterwards applauded its passage, &c. and stat
ed, when called on, that Shiels was the man.—
Three and a half hours’ animated and vocifer
ous debate ensued, which was only ended by
the unanimous (save O’Connell) voice of the
house placing Shiels under arrest, as he refused
pledging himself to a peaceable course. Lord
Althorp was also put under arrest, but he pledg
ed himself to that effect to the satisfaction of the
honse, and was released immediately and S.
followed his example. Cobbett, O’Connell, and
Shiels, sit next each other, and occupy a full
quarter ofthe ♦ime in talking.”
We inserted yesterday, on the authority of a
gentleman ofthe Bar, a short statement of points
ruled by the Supreme Court in the case of
Wheaton vs. Petei's. Another gentleman of the
Bar informs us that that notice was not exuct,
and furnishes the following statement:
Nat. Int.
The account of the points decided in the case
of Wheaton against Peters, contained in the In
telligencer of yesterday, is inexact, both in stat
ing that the Court had ruled “every point of
“law in the case in favor of the appellee, Mr.
Peters,” and in ommitting to state the most im
portant principle of the law of copyright, which
was actually settled in the case.
To begin with the omission:
1. The Court has unanimously determined (to
use the words of the opinion delivered by Judge
“ McLean) “that no Reporter has, or can have,
“ any copyright in the written opinions deliver
“ ed by this Court, and that the Judges thereof
“ cannot confer on any Reporter any such
“ right.”
27 The Court has not decided that the publica
tion of Mr. Peters’ Condensed Reports is not an
infringement of Mr. Wheatons copyright the
1 12.volumes of Wheaton's Reports, so far as res
I pects the general order and arrangement of his
! hnnlr• the oral oninions delivered bv the Judges
from the Bench, and taken down by Mr. W. in
writing; the marginal notes, or abstracts of the
points decided; the statements of facts in each
case, abridged by Mr. W. from the records; and
the analytical indexes to each volume, which
Mr. W. claims as author, and which Mr. P. has
copied from Mr. W’s book.
3. The Court has made no final disposition of
the cause, but has remanded it to the Court
below, with directions to ascertain, by a jury,

DIED,
On Friday morning, the 21st instant, after an
illness of three weeks, in the 18th year of his
age, George Whitfield Brown, youngest son
of the Rev. O. B. Brown, of Washington city.
He was an interesting youth of much promise,
was a member of the Senior Class in the Co
lumbian College, and would have graduated at
the ensuing commencement, had his life and
his health been spared. An amiable and love
ly disposition endeared him to many relatives
and friends, to whom this bereavement is a se
