Treasurer. The Louisville (Ky.) Journal, papcr-not jpnerally suspected, bf violent Abolition tenden- thus speaks of the action of the seceders from tte Whig CongrPBsional Caucus The 'arctdrrs from the TiC Caucus hive met with fir Iras sympathy than they expected. Their conduct, though cot condemned, is thoroughly disap-jwtd rf in a larrt majority of the Whig paper. Their arts are regarded as very atranpr, and, in aoine quarters, suspicions are expressed as to their fidelity to the'Whix party. Of course the Democrats, who are in a stew themselves, are.

very much delighted. with the exhibition ot diKcord' in the Whir Caucus. The reasons given by tie seceders in their addrewi, are very feeble. They can-rjot convince people that the arsf way to prevent agitation is fe forct a subject, on wliich there is an trirKt d.flerenre of opinion, on all occasions, into all sQua or assemblagca.

Eonr, of Newark, followed with an Seven individuals once formed the Education Society, said he, in the study of Rev. Joshua Huntixotox, of There are some causes which honor the men who are engaged in them, and some men who honor any cause. Such is fata cause, and such the men engaged in it. Its object is to train up mind to' carry out the high purposes of ChriMt's Kingdom. The men are some of the most intelligent, devoted, that ever honored American hiHtory.

He instanced Dr. Wisner, Johhsow, Hch-tikotor, Dr. Cornelius and others. This cause is an an elementary one, not less important, though less apparent than that of some Societies, for lies at the bottom of them all. We have for a while sunk into obscurity, gone out ef existence, but we shall now awake and shine again.

This cause has been slow in progress, but has it not developed results Jonas King, Pliry Fise, half our missionaries, presidents of our colleges, the first men of the pulpit, have been educated by this Society. Undo all this Society has and would there not be a darkness on earth, in many a field that now it lustrous? Rev.

II. B. Latrobe, of Baltimore, was introduced. He made an address of considerable length, reviewing the origin and progress of the Liberia enterprise. The Colonization Society had accomplished its objects-.

This part of the performances being intended to exhibit tbe processes of instruction, the most advanced class in the institution was brought While the exercises of the classes were in progress, the time was pleasantly enlivened by a series of pantomimes. 1 Letter from Mr. Ketcknm. Tc the Editor a) the New-York Dailt Times I fear improper inferences may be drawn from yonr article yesterday commenting on my speech. I never heard Mr.

Webster say a word, or give an intimation, as to the authorship of the message sent by the President to Congress in respect to the settlement of the Texas Boundary, soon alter Gen. Taylor's decease; but being at the time in Washington, I did hear members of Congress, who said they saw the message before it waa signed by the President, and who were conversed with aa to its contents, say that it was prepared by Mr. Webster. I had not then, nor have I now, the least doubt of the fact. 4 I should not have stated one word on this subject but from the fact that the add res of the Fillmore meeting, signed by Daniel Lord and other respectable citizens, officers of the meeting, contained the following clause Succeeding to the Presidency at that critical period, when collision between tbe forces of a foreign State and the army of the United States, was impending, involving; in Ha consequences, aa waa solemnly believed by good men everywhere, the existence of the Millars Fillmore, passing thus to dntiea the most responsible, whose weight he felt to be almost crushing, calling round him able and upright Statesmen, concurring in his views, manifesting his own desire to hav these questions settled immediately, yet declaring before God aad man that he would maintain the Constitution and execute the Law by the use of every means confided to aim by virtue of his high office.

these eircamntances the Compromise passed, approved, became the Law or tbe land. The effect produced waa, aa anticipated, blessed." Mr. Fillmore, I readily admit, ought to receive credit for the popular acta of his administration, because be ia at the head of that' administration. But when this credit ia claimed for him by his friends, it is not by himself, in derogation of the claims of Mr. Webster, as a rival candidate of the Presidency, then the people who are to pass en their respective claims, ought to know the truth.

I have some reason to believe that Mr. Gentry of Tennessee, and Mr. Williams of Tennessee, and other members of Congress from the South, know tbe truth, If they saw fit to testify, why they withhold that testimony, a question for their decision. It would seem due to honor and to patriotism, that they should be willing to do aim, pie justice to a a la teaman whoat some risk of persona popularity, has, ia a great emergency, planted himself oa national ground, and taken no step backward-" 1 vvTcmiu Dr. Junius Smith, the tea culturist, writes front Greenvdie, S- aader date of the 2tth ulL, that a new importation of tea nuts has been received from China in excellent order, Mr.

Frexch'8 Hotel on Fee A Max Scffocated Firemen and others severely Injured Two Childbbm Missing. About 11 o'clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in the ironing and drying-room of French's Hotel, (in the rear on Frankfort-street.) Before the firemen could get at work, the flames swept through the rear wing, and a great portion of it was destroyed before the fire could be subdued. Two children are missing, and it is feared they have perished in the flames. We regret to learn that a man who returned to tie burning building to secure his clothes, was suffocated and perished in the flames. The Croton water-tank, running through the upper stories of the building, waa brought into requisition, and had the effect of deadening the flames, and checking them from spreading to the hall and bedrooms on the floors below.

At one time, the entire easterly wing of the hotel was in flames, which threatened to increase, and lay that part of the building in ruins. The walls of Tarn, many Hall became very much heated, and it waa for some ime considered in imminent danger. Some streams of water were played upon the Qld Wigwam, and the fire was prevented from communicating with that building. The fire was finally subdued, and the losses, a estimated, win be found below, together with the insurances. Intelligence wa soon received by the multitude that a chambermaid named Doyle, a German waiter, and two children were missing, and supposed to have perished in.

the flames Following this exciting news, a rear brick wall tumbled down, and injured several of the firet men. A member of Engine Company No. 42, named Augustus' Moore, waa felled to the ground, in the bricks; and when extricated his lower jaw was discovered to be broken, and two frightful wounds were found upon his head, -near the temple. The gallant fireman wis picked up quite insensible, and Immediately conveyed to his home, where everything wa done to alleviate his: sufferings. When the wall fell, a policeman of the Thirteenth Ward named -Sprague, fearing the building was' going.

to fall, leaped from the second story and received serious injury. The other fremen alluded to were only slightly injured. Assistant Engineer, Harry Howard, thoroughly searched the burnt portion of the premises for the remains of a house-earpenter (employed in the establishment) named Christian Bersch, and finally he found the body of a human being burned to a crisp. It was so dreadfully burned that in many parte of the body the flesh was clean from (he bones. The unfortunate man who came to thia horrible death, was beyond recognition, and the Coroner, therefore, postponed the inquisition until thia morning.

ADDITIONAL jVEWS BY THE CANADA. Starvation of a Party of Missionaries. The London papers contain a heart-sickening account of the death of a party ef Missionaries from -hunger. We condense the particulars jAn English officer, Captain Gardiner, of the Royal Navy, who was sent out with six companions by the "Patagonian Missionary Society," to the neighborhood of Cape Horn, baa been literally starved to death he, and his companions with him. The party consisted of Allen R.

superintendent Mr. Williams, surgeon and catechist Mr. Maidment, cate-chist John Erwin, carpenter; John Badcock, John Bryant and John Pearce, Cornish fishermen. They left England in September, 1850, in the bark Occam Queen; it having been promised that store should be forwarded to them in June, via the Falkland -Islands should they be unable to maintain their position at Picton Island, Beagle Channel, it was supposed that being provided with partially-decked launches, they would fall back on Staten Island. The ill-fated party landed on Picton Island towards the conclusion of the year 1850.

From the first, they seem to have been annoyed, in some measure, by the natives, and to have been hunted backwards and forwards from the little island to what may be called the mainland of Tcrra-del-Fuego. About tbe middle of April, 1851, Capt. Gardiner begin to record in his diary, which ha been preserved to us, that "they have provisions enough to last for two months, but some are very low." They have but a flask and a half of powder their fishing-net washed away. They shoot an occasional fox, which serves them tor food and, besides, if they did not destroy the animal, he would do his best to steal the remainder of their little stock of provisions. The scurvy breaks out among the party.

They ar driven to take refuge in a cavern but the tide rolls in, and Capt. Gardiner and Mr. Maidment, the catechist, are obliged to swim out for their lives, and take refuge upon a clump of rock, round the base of which the waves of the South Atlantic are Upon this rock the two poor creature kneel dow in prayer. John Badcock, a Cornish fisherman, dies. By July 4 the party have been seven weeka on short allowance their only hope i in the expected ship (rem the Falkland Islands but no ship come.

They greedily eat a penguin, a shag, a half-devoured fith washed Spon shore. Six mice are spoken of in the journal a ainties. The garden-seeds have been used for broth, and are all spent. Mussels and limpets are the next resource and then rock-weed is boiled down to a jelly. Erwin, a carpenter, and Bryant; another Cornish fisherman, die.

Two of the party, Mr. Williams, the surgeon, and Pierre, a third Cornishman, had gone away from the main body of the party, for some object or other, probably for the discovery of food. Their dead bodiea were discovered at CooVa River, aome distance off. The pre-sumption is they must have died about the same time a Captain Gardiner himself, who probably expired on the 6th of September. The last entry in his diary is on the j5th of September, and in thia he mention that he had not taeted food or water for four day.

Mr. Maidment, tlie catechist, bad died a few daya before. As it was the $th of January, 1852, before Captain Mors he ad, to whom orders were sent by tbe Admiralty in October, arrived at Abe Island, the value of tbe precautions which had been taken for maintaining the expedition can be left to the public judgment. After many hour of fruitless search oa the coast of iPicton Island oa the 20th of January, some writing waa een by Capt. Morshead's prty on a rock across a river.

The words, were, 14 Go to Spanish Harbor." On another 'rock adjoining was, You will find us ia Spanish Harbor." On a third piece of rock, Dig below," which they 'instantly did. but found only a broken bottle, without any or direction. Oa searching one of the numerous iwigwama in the neighborhood, they read on one of their 'poles, A bottle under this pole," but they could not find fit but it was evident, from some fragment of stores found on the spot, that the mission had rested her. On following morning Capt. Mora he ad sailed for Spanish Harbor, where they saw a boat lying on the beach, and i where they found the bodies of Cape Gardiner and Mr.

Maidment un buried. On one of the papers found waa I written legibly, but without a date, li you win walk along the beach for a mile and a half, yon will find us in the other boat, hauled up ia the mouth of a river at the head of tbe harbor, on the south side. Delay not i are starving." Close to the spot where Capt. Gardiner wa lying wa a cavern, to which attention wa directed by a hand painted oa tbe rock with Psalm lxii. v.

58 under it. Her were found the paper relerred to, and two unfinished were written to hi son and daughter by Capt. Gardiner. The re mama were buried dose to this i spot by the ship's company Death of tha Grand Duke Baden.
