We regret to see that the nominations banded in to the Board of Aldermen by the Mayor were not all acted on.

Among those laid over was that of CapL Forno as Cap tain of the Police in the First District. Tbe Police Committee of the Board of Aldermen, we believe, is waiting for charges that may be made againt him and others before confirming tbe nomination. We do not know a person better suited to fill the office of head of police fur the First District than CapL Forno. He haa Always shown himself a very prompt and efficient officer not surpassed by any the old Second Munici pality ever had thoroughly conversant with his duties and executing them with spirit and energy. We have never heard of any wrongs of omission or commission imputed to him, and we should be glad to see him continue in the post he has so long and so ably held.

Xiw Yobst Banes. The latest advices from the North state that several of the banks of the State of New York have resolved to wind up in consequence of the tax law recently enacted by the State Legislature, imposing a heavy and unequal tax upon all incorporated banking insti tutions. A large number of the notes of those banks have already been forwarded to the State Auditor to be destroyed, among them 100,000 of the New York City Branch of tbe Franklin Bank, one of the safest and best institution in the State. Few of the banks in the State, says the Y. Courier and Enquirer, will submit to the provision of the law, and such institutions as may not be disposed to contest the matter on legal grounds will wind up.

Pbxse.vtation of Platk. In Mobile, "on the 13th a committee of citizens, headed by the Mayor, Judge Seawell, presented some silver plate to Wm. Sidney Smith, Secretary of the British Consulate at Havana, as a testimony of gratitude for his philanthropic services to the Americans who were taken prisoners in the ill fated Ixipez expedition. Judge Seawell made the presentation on behalf of the citizens of I Mobile, aad accompanied it with some very ap propriate remarks. He spoke of Mr.

Smith as belonging to a foreign mission, with no interest whatever in the fate of the Cuban prisoner. The American Consul himself had apparently forsaken them. In the face of all this Mr. Smith stepped in, urged on by the dictates of humanity and philanthropy, and did all in his power to al leviate the sufierings of those unfortunate men. Mr.

Smith responded in a very happy manner, hich the Register characterizes as quite im pressive and eloquent, from the modest, sincere and cordial manner in which it was uttered. He expressed his gratitude for the honor done him, and said he felt that his services had been far overrated. He paid a high compliment to tbe character of Gen. Concha, whose clemency he stated was in direct opposition to the orders of his Government. Mr.

Smith again thanked the citizens of Mobile for this unexpected mark of their regard, and said he had heard of their kindness and generosity before, from a lady (Lady Emmeline Wortley Stuart) who had re cently passed ti rough this country. The plate presented to Mr. Smith cost between four and five hundred dollars, and is a beautiful tribute to the merits of that gentleman. It contains the following inscription Presented to Waa. Sidrarv smith.

The Charleston Cdurier, of the 11th inst says that the water having been pumped out of the ship Prentice, the cotton on board which Teasel waa on fire on tbe 9th it was ascertained that the ship's bold sustained little or no injury, but the fire or six hundred bales of cotton which waa on board must be landed, as it is, no doubt, very seriously damaged both by fire and water. Very heavy damages were recovered in the Superior Court, New York, on tbe 7th inat. figainst the New York and New Haven Bsilroad Company, by a person who was Injured by a collision between two trains upon the road, on the 25th of October last.

The project of a line of mail steamers between San Francisco and Shanghai, in China, meets with much favor in Congress, and opinions have been treely expressed that, after the Collins line, it is tbe most likely of all the schemes before Congress to obtain congressional aid. What and where is Shanghai becomes, then, a Question of much interest. A letter dated in that city, which we find in the X.

Y. Commercial Advertiser, helps us to satisfy this curiosity in some essential particulars. Shanghai is one of the five ports of China which were opened to the commerce of foreign nations bv She British treaty with China, of August, 1842. The other four ports are Canton, Amoy, Fuchau Fu and Ningpo. Shanghai is the most northerly of these ports, situated on the WooMing river, near the mouth of tbe i ang tze kiang, one of the largest rivers in Asia, navigable for junks of a large size for nearly three thousand miles.

On this river are the cities of Nanking, Suchan, and other large cities. The population of Shanghai is said to be at least 500,000, and within sixty or seventy miles is Suchan, which is reputed to contain 2,000,000 ot innabitants and further up Nanking, which at least doubles that of Suchan. At some of these internal citier, a thousand miles from the sea, six or eight thou sand junks are employed, a startling proof of the vast extent of the inland traffic. Six thousand come down the river annually to Shanghai, and thousands more from the southern provinces. In geographical situation, and in tbe extent of its inland communications, Shanghai has a strong resemblence to New Orleans while its back country, unlike ours, is thickly settled and densely inhabited.

Shanghai is the nearest to the green tea districts, and is expected to be the principal exporting port of the green teas. Since the opening of the port in 1842, business has sorunr no and expanded with a rapidity onlv equaled in new poruva America and those who have been there prophecy for it a growth surpassing Canton. This exportation is encoura ged by the greater freedom enjoyed there, and the pleasantness and healthiness of the climate. There are scarcely any restraints upon foreign ers, and the disposition of the native) is friendly while the reverse obtains to an extreme degree in Canton. Three fourths of the year are plea santly cool tbe summer indeed is oppressively hot, but it does not last long, and autumn is in vigorating.

The country is open for exercise, and agreeable drives and promenades. This is a highly favorable picture of the ad van tages that may be gained to Americans, by open wg a regular commercial intercourse with Ui's city, aud the vast territory and millions of people to whom it offer the gate of access; and in the vista of a future for New Orleans, the mind's ere can see all these elements of wealth brought, by the establishment of these lines, and the cow pletion of the Tehuantepec road, within a few weeks' travel from our own doors. Now York Correspondence. Cotiaspuiidencg of tbe Picayune New Vomit, May 6, 1652. The weather is now warm and pleasant.

Busi ness, however, is not very active, and will not be. I think, until August, when the fall trade should commence. Money continues very easy, and the banks are glad to discount good paper at low rates. Coulrary to expectation, exchange on Europe has an upward tendency. An advance was obtained on bills for the steamer which sailed yesterday for Liverpool, but not sufficient to luak'e coin again preferable for remittances.

Still about tlOO.OOO in gold were exported. Within two days our city has been the scene of several murders. A woman beaten to death a man stabbed, and again a woman stabbed bo that her recovery extremely doubtful. The supposed perpetrators of the deeds in each in dividual case were arrested almost immediately alter the crimes were committed, and they are now lodged in the Tombs. Rum had much to do with all these offences.

By the way, the Massa chusetts Legislature have passed the Maine liquor law, subject to the vole of the people of that State. This vote will be taken forthwith, and if it shall be in favor of the law, the latter will be enforced early in June. If it shall be otherwise, of course the liquor traffic will continue as heretofore. The temperance men hereabouts are awailiug with much interest the result of this election. They are quite sanguine that the victory will be on their side.

Tfout tcrront. Prnmenaders are again venturing lortli in Broadway. Fur more than a week they dared scarcely show themselves in that thoroughfare: The dust and the omnibuses had the street quite to themselves. Our Common Council concluded at last to allow the streets to be sprinkled, and matters are once more assuming a favorable aspect. The dust has ceased its evolutions, ana people can walk Broadway again without danger of suffocation.

But the damage done to enop keepers in Broadway by the dust this season must be immense. If an exact estimate thereof could be made, it would no doubt surpass in amount any calculation previously formed, in which precisenses was not especially regarded. Articles in the provision line are high here. Mess pork is worth about $18 50 per barrel, and mesa beel irom liuau according to quality. Lard is selling in barrels at 104 and in kegs at llc Good butter cannot be had under 2Gc.

These prices must make the cost of living to neraons of limited means exceedingly heavy, ii s. the same shall not decline soon, meat and butter, by very many, will have to be viewed as luxuries, and be partaken of at table only occasionaly. Scalar. Tax 0u EdiUrt. According to the new regula tions to which the press of Spain and its colonies are subjected, editors must be twenty five years of age and pay taxes of 3000 reals in tbe province of Madrid, or elsewhere irom aoo to iouo.

Offence of the press are of eight kinds against the King and royal family, the State, public peace, society, religion and morals, authority, for eign power and persona. The Government may forbid the introduction of foreign publications. Ship Qtorge Hotdaud. A despatch to the N. Times, dated Boston, May 7, says that a letter i has been received there from the cooper oi tne ship George Howland, seized by the convicts at Charles Island, which states tnat tne men oi tne Swedish man of war, which took charge of the shin, stole and destroyed about as much as the Spaniards.

The ship is uninsured, ana prooaoiy $3,000 will pay all damages. Care far Hydrophobia. The editor of the Pe. tersburg (Va.)

As the plot of this play is laid in the South and West that great Father of Waters, the MississiDni. sharing largely in it I have no doubt it will take admirably beyond the mountains. The new hall of the Mechanics' Institute has been selected in which to hold both the Demo cratic and Whig National Conventions. It is a superb place will seat, comfortably, six thou sand persons. Extensive preparations are making by our hotel keepers and others, to ac commodate the crowd that will be in attendance upon theve great occasions.

w. Mr. Webster. Our telegraphic despatches have already informed our readers that Mr. Webster had met with an accident The following particulars are given in the Northern papers.

It appears that on the 8th inst, as Mr. Webster, accompanied by his private secretary, Mr. Lan man, was riding from his home in Marshfield to Plymouth, the bolt connecting tbe forward wheels with the body of the carriage broke, letting the carriage down heavily. Mr. Webster was thrown out, striking upon bis head and right shoulder.

He whs stunned and for a few minutes insensible, during which he was carried into a house near by, and medical aid promptly procured. His injuries, though severe, were pronounced not dangerous. It was, however, deemed advisable to send for Dr. Warren. An exaggerated rumor soon spread in Boston that Mr.

Webster was fatally hurt, and intense excitement was manilested. Tne accident, it is said, may possibly detain Mr. Webster at Marshfield some Jays. Two children in Sumter District, S. were poisoned a few weeks ago by ectxg uie roots of the jasmine vine.

The roots had been thrown away after transplanting some vines, and were picked up and eaten. Death ensued in one case almost instantly in the other after a few hours. rr" Tbe State of South Carolina made it a matter of State dignity to undertake the publi cation of Mr. Calhoun work oor tbe Govern ment, and got it out in very handsome style in deed. But the consequence baa been, the State not having ay skill in the publishing business or connections in the bookselling trade, has got the edition on her hands, at a large price, and bnt few copies are to be found ont of of South Caro lina.

It is now proposed to remedy the blunder, by putting the work into the hands of some intel ligent publisher, who will get up a cheap edition and find the means of making it circulate widely. Another Great Land Claim. The heirs of the revolutionary Col. Eleazar Oswald, of Penn sylvania, have laid claim to a very large tract of valuable land in Kentucky, our thousand acres of the claim form the bounty given to their an ceutor by Congress, and the remainder was a be quest to him by bis friend, Richard Henry Lee, of Virginix The charge ts that an agent, appointed by the heirs a good many years ago, made fraudulent representations to that the land was worthless, and it was accordingly abandoned, without any effort, until within a short time it has been discovered that it is of very great value, and the agent disposed of it for his own benefit The Boston Times gives these details as within the knowledge of the editor. lHotemenU of Troop.

The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser says that the ship Albert Gallatin, which cleared at New York for New Orleans, takes out four hundred U. S. troops, whose desti nation is aaid to be Florida, where the Indian have become troublesome of late.

Tbe N. Y. Ex press say that they are destined for Texas, to fill up companies and 4th Artillery, 1st and ad Reginent of Dragoons, and 1st Regiment of Infan try. The names of the officer are Brevet capt A. P.

Howe, Adjt'4th Artillery, commanding i Sd Lieut Edward A. Palfrey, 7th Infantry, and Brevet Lieut J. B. Green, 1st Infantry. That excellent French journal, published 1 in New i or, tne tnrntratt waewai late issue, states that its republican opinions, ao far from doing it an injury, have only extended it circulation and strengthened it influence Frencn scattered oyer an parts of the Union and that the sincerity oi it convictions, coupled with the line of decorum which it has not ceased to follow, have secured to it even the esteem of those who do aot share its opinions, aad therefore its former TObecribers remain to it, and the new continue to come oa in large numbers a fact honorable to the French residents In thi country.

A Smttw FUvortd Anecdote. Meddling with other sometimes bring us into scrapes, and thereby one of the elder of a church made "bad worse."

The bill" is as worthy of preservation a any of the dead language or classic reliquea. This floating advertisement is in English, and was intended no doubt to fascinate curiosity seekers of the Anglo Saxon breed. We would go a thousand miles and several feet over to take lodgings in that Hotel de Belle Vue. in the ancient c.itv of Pompeii Here enter mine host with hi hand bill: POMPEn.

unoei oi Cicero snaue ol Brutus help us. Oh, schoolmaster, where art thou The Ruth for California. The steamer North era Light, which left New York on the 5th inst for Nicaragua, had on board 950 California adven turers. When she took her departure, her decks and rigging were covered with human beings. As the Crescent Citv sailed the same day from vork for Navy Bay with 500, we have total of 1,450 persons leaving a single port on the Atlantic, in one day, for the Pacific.

Ortgvt of the Word Whig." In the sixteenth century there arose in England a party opposed to the King, and in favor ef a republican form of government, in which the people would have a voice. The party adopted as their motto, "We hope in God." The initials, or first letter of each word combined, read "Whig," and were used to name or designate the party. Thus the word Whig" originally meant opposition to kings and monarchies, and friendship for the very form of government under which we exist It originated in England, a century and a half before our revolution. Fire and Lou of Life. At New York, en the 8th inst, a fire broke out in the midst of a cluster of wooden buildings on Catharine street, near Cherry.

So densely were they occupied, and so rapidly did the fire spread, that five persons perished in the flames. Four of the victims belonged te one family, named Colgao. Several others were considerably injured. tty The Representative from the Mobile Dis trict in Congress writes home that the Committee on Commerce have agreed to insert in the Harbor bill an appropriation of $50,000 for open ing the Dog River bar below the city of Mobile. How much then ought to be granted for clearing out the bars at the mouth of the Mississippi, which obstruct the commerce of fifteen or sixteen States That is a calculation we hope to see carefully made by the Western Representa tives in Congress.

Methodist General Conference. Thi confer ence is still sitting at Boston. On the 6th inst. the Rev. Ezra Sprame appealed from the de cision of the Troy Conference, of which he is a member.

Mr. Sprague is charged with practising mesmerism, and sending a female medium to the other world on a spiritual mission, and inveighing against the veracity of two individuals. Mr. Sprague acts as his own counsel, and the Rev. Messrs.

Witherspoon and Phillips appeared on behalf of the Troy Conference. A resolution was offered from the Ohio Con ference, asking the general conference to take measures to commence a mission to Rome. It was referred to the committee on missions. Southern Produce in Jortkeru Markets. The Y.

Y. Express say that very few persons beyond those who are immediately interested, have any idea of the amount of vegetables and fruits which are daily shipped from Virginia to those North ern ports with which there is a steam communication. The quantity of green peas alone ship pel from Norfolk to Baltimore during the last season was 10,000 barrels. The quantity of potatoes, apples, cucumbers, dVc, amounted as early as July 8th to 7600 barrels, besides 2000 basket tomatoes, about one half of which passed through to Philadelphia. The amount which went to the latter city direct by the new line of steamers was also considerable.

Most of the early vegetables on sale in the New York markets comeJfrom Charleston and the Chesapeake. We see it stated that 800 baskets of strawberries were received at New York by the steamship Union, Capt R. Adams, from Charleston. Mechanic' Meeting. At Washington, on the 7th inst, a meeting of mechanics was held in front of the City Hall some five hundred were present.

George Cochran was called to the chair, and Francis McNerhany appointed Secretary. Addresses were made by. Gen. McCalla and the Socetary of the meeting. A series of resolutions, condemnatory of the Commissioner of Public Buildings, was passed with but few dissenting voices.

Resolved, oh Lordy I Lordy I Lordy That we love every body, body And since we're done our story, story, Resolved that Glory I glory glory I Capture of tke Fugitives. Dr. Andrew Plum mer, an Englishman who came to this country on the steamship Niagara, was arrested ia New York on the 6th inst, charged with breach of trust CoL Howard, of the British army, arrived in the Europa in pursuit of him.

It appears from the statement made by CoL Howard, that this doctor recently eloped from Brighton, England, with a young girl named Miss Emma Pattison, daughter of a wealthy family residing at Brigh ton, and came to the United States. It also ap pears that Dr. P. and CoL Howard were bosom friends, therefore the latter placed the moat im plicit confidence in the physician, and a few days prior to his absconding handed him 1,900 sterling to deposit with a banker. The deposit was never made, and the rogue of eourse pocketed the lands, and came to America to expend it Ha was very much astonished on being in trod need to CoL Howard in the office of the Chief of Police.

He was locked up, and the young lad sent for. CoL Howard presented her with a letter from her parents, entreating her return, to which she consented. Sew Motive Power. The Baltimore correspond ent of the Washington Telegraph says that there is a young man named Force now residing in that city who has invented and patented a new motive power which bids fair to supersede both steam and water. It is stated that a model of his machine is already in existence, and that it has been patented with an injunction of secrecy for a certain time.

So cautious ha he been to aveidj infringement, that he had one part of the machinery, necessary to the completion ofohi engine, made in New Orleans, another part in Baltimore, another in Philadelphia, and another in New York. The separate parts thus constructed were, in due time, collected in Baltimore, and put together by the Inventor himself in a room into which no person has been permitted to enter. It is asserted that the machine worked to the full satisfaction and beyond the expectations of those most deeply interested in it It is his purpose to proceed to Europe and obtain patent there and he does not design having the patent or principle of his invention made public ber until time has been allowed to secure it from piracy in other countries. A distinguished lady, Mr. Virginia Carey, died at Alexandria, Ya, on the Sd inst Mrs.
