Prom tht Ntw York Jourmml of Oommortt, April 11. AftlmJ mt tlM The U. S. mail steamship Washington, Captain Floyd, arrived off Sandy Hook at o'clock yesterday afternoon. She brings eighty-one passengers and about $200,000 in gold The Washington left Bremen on the Slat of March, and, after experiencing a gale in the North Sea, reached Southampton in fifty hours from the Weeer.

After taking on board coals, bar go, madia, aha finally departed from the docks of Southampton at 3 p. on the 26th, and baa consequently per fur me a the voyage from England in Hi aaya. She brings 100 tons of German merchandise from Bremen, and a boat 50 tons from Havre and Southampton. The smallneae of the freight arises from the dulneee of the season, and also from the unfair competition of the Cunard steamers, the Havre agents of which lowered their rates of freight to a ton on purpose, if possible, to deprive the ww vi mjjt uipuicuii irvui route. Cormpondtnce qf Journal of When tba WuUaftoo left Southampton, the St.

Lawrence had competed discharging her freight, and had Wl the docks to take up a position in her old anchorage opposite the ancient and picturesque ruins of NeUey The commander-in-chief of Portsmouth (Admiral Sir Thomas Bladen Capel) sent one of the government steam-tugs to assist the frigate out ot dock during the heavy equinoctial gams which were blowing. Every attention which could possibly be lavished on the captain and officers of the St. Lawrence was paid by the naval, military, and civil authorities, and a complete ovation had, in fact, availed the arrival of this magnificent vassal upon her mission of amity and peace. On the 17th March Commander Sands, accompanied by about twenty of his officers, paid an official visit to the mayor at Southampton, (Richard Andrews, at his country residence near Winchester, about twelve miles from Southampton. The officers were accompanied by J.

K. Croakey, the American consul, and by the bulk ofthe civil authorities, together with gentlemen representing the great public companies. On arriving at Winchester, the visitors proceeded directly to the beautiful residence of the mayor, where they were received with great cordiality. The American floated from the top of the dwelling, and, with the fountains playing in the garden, produced a beautiful effect. The party, soon after their reception, accompanied by tno mayor, proceeded to view tbe cathedral and college, with the beauties and historical associations of which thsy expressed themselves highly gratified.

After having spent several hours in looking over these objects of interest, they returned to the mayor's house, where a sumptuous banquet was provided for them. After unsparing justice had been done to the viands and choice wines set before the company, the mayor gave the health of tbe Queen of England, which was most enthusiastically responded to by the American officers. The next was the President of the United States, which was drunk with all honors. The mayor then proposed Captain Sands and the officers of tbe St. Lawrence, which was received with several rounds of cheering, and was rcsDonded to by the gallant officer, in moat appropriate terms.

In the course of bis remarks, Captain Sands made some most happy allusions to the objects of interest the company had just been admiring, and pointed out how England and America drew their knowledge of the arts both of war and peace from a common origin. The speech of Captain Sauds gave great satisfaction to all present, and many of his classical references pointed out the accomplished scholar, not leas than the able commander. Amongst the succeeding toasts was that of Captain Paulding, and recollections of the former visit of the St. Inwrence. The company afterwards broke up delighted with the princely hospitality displayed by the worthy mayor of Southampton.

Captain Sands was presented to her royal highness the Duchess of Kent, on the 19th March, on the occasion of her landing at Southampton, from the Queen's residence at Osborne, in the Isle of after which Captain Sands and his officers went on board and Inspected Queen Victoria's celebrated screw steam yacht, the Fairy. On the 24th ult. R. the mayor or Southampton, accompanied by the aldermen, town couneeilore, and civic authorities, in their official costume, paid a visit to the St. Lawrence.

The deputation was conveyed from the town quay in three State bargee, preceded by the boat of the American consul, Mr. Croskey, bearing the flag of the United States. Hundreds of people congregated on the quays to witness tho spectacle. On reaching the ship, a salute of thirteen guns was fired in honor of the mayor, as admiral of the port. A sumptuous dinner, a la fourchtlle, was served on board, and the utmost good feeling prevailed, the English gentlemen seeming to vie with the American officers in symptoms of friendship and amity.

The civic procession, after a stay of several hours on board the frigate, took their departure under the thunder of her artillery. On the day of the Washington's departure a 5rand banquet was given in the Audit house to Mr. R. Croskey, the American consul, by the mayor and corporation of Southampton. All the officers of the frigate were present.

DisastbOuw Fins and loss ofPbopbbty in Nbw about one o'clock Friday morning the new and elegant atone warehouse, erected ana occupied by Messrs. Hudson and Robertson, dry good dealers, 180 Broadway, adjoining the Howard hotel, was discovered to be on fire. On being entered, the flames bad gained such a headway, that the insurance watch were able to save but a very small portion of the goods. Owing to the very great height of the building, it was soon found to be useless to attempt to save it, and every exertion was made to save the surrounding buildings, the Howard hotel especially being in great danger, from being overtopped by the burning house, which adjoined it. In half an hour the whole of the store was on fire, as well as the large building in the rear.

The wind carried the flames in front of the Howard hotel, the upper portion of which ignited, but was kept well checkod. The houae was full of boarders, but it is believed all had ample time to escape. Out of so groat a number the cierk could not tell, in the midst of the confusion, whether this was the case. At about two o'clock the upper part of tho store, the atone work of which had been falling for some time in pieces, which made it dangerous 'o remain in Iront, fell with a crash, smashing in the roof of the two small bouses between it and the corner of John street. With so great a body of fire in the rear, and at tho side, the fire department had enough to do to save the hotel from entire destruction.

Besides the store in which the tire originated, the next house, occupied by J. D. Chevalier as a cutlery establishment, was the house ad joining that of Chevalier, on the corner of John street and Broadway, and No. 4 John street, occupied by Mr. Osunbridc, engraver.

Tbe firemen worked nobly, and by their exertions doubtless saved a great deal of valuable property. An immense number of lookers-on lined Broadway in the vicinity of the conflagration, which pre sented a spectacle of sublime grandeur, especially at the moment of the fall of the main wall towards John street, rafters that supported it being gradually burnt with a slow and steady movement, ending with a heavy crash, which was followed by the uprising of an immense body of sparkling cinders, and these a dense volume of thick black smoke. The following are tba names of tbe offices and the amounts insured on the property in Broadway, destroyed this morning: City Insurance Company, North American, Firemen's, Equitable, Sturvesant, Franklin Company, Philadelphia, Bowery Insurance Company, $5,000. There are some other offices, whose names we have not yet ascertained. Tbe loss is estimated at 100,000.

The highest degree of fineness was 902-thousandths and the lowest S66-thousandths, a gradation of 36-thotisandths, and that the smallest loss in melting is 2 1-10 per cent, and the greatest 12 1 15, a difference of 10 1-0 per cent.

The South. We clip the following out of the of our young friend, the Uitpalch, who, it will be perceived, it from lending Charleston paper. On the whole, disuniouism better fed than taught. Except in charming po lilical and atatUtical account of Yvetot aud ita King, who kept a sort of gratuitous national cookabop and wine-cellar; or in hia equally festive description of the Land of Cocalgne, where baked and boiled and ate wed and fried and broiled are in eternal progress, and people do nothing but spit and unapit roaat beef and capons and turkeys, or broach and uncork perpetual Champagne and Burgundy, we have never heard of such a realm of repletion. It absolutely makea one's mouth water to read of such fare.

Our only objection to it is, that always to have such good things, besides the cer tainty of iU bringing1 us at ImI into the rather too noble company of gout and alone, muat be tiresome. One would want a poor dinner and whiaky now and then for variety'a aake; but bare there eeema no hope of it. Bacon and greens, or any of our homely messes, aerm aa obsolete aa acorns among the of South Carolina; and no doubt jowl aud turnip-tope, down in that loyal land, paaa for a dish fit only for beara or cannibals: A correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writing a aeriea of sketches from the country, introduces in one of theui the following account of living in the low country of the Palmetto State, from which it would appear that it must be a tine region for epicures: "To give you some idea of the abundance of what is called the low country in this State, and the luxuries within the reach of every planter who takes the trouble to make the proper arrangements for the regular supply of his table, we will instance the dinner usually partaken of, varied according to the season, but composed of the like materials whenever there is company in the house and the family party happens (o be at all augmented. Not one of the materials used, it will be seen, by those who know the capabilities of the country, eoit the proprietor a farthing; every thing, from the soup to the fruit, being the produce of bis own domsyins. 'The mere for his net, and the land for his game? The cbaae for the wild, and the park for the "The game killed probably by his own gun; the fish caught either by his own line, or by that of one of his own people, and the mutton fattened in his own pastures.

"And as a crowning glory to the whole, it is not uncommon, after one of these country dinners, to find a bottle of Madeira on the table which had been put away with a happy forethought in the garret of the old house long before the living proprietor was born; and the interest of the meal is greatly augmented if it should so happen that the party had been waited upon by ono oi those venerable family servants, honored relics of the past, of whom John Randolph, of Roanoke, once said, they belong to a class composed of the beet bred men in the country, but now almost obsolete. You may still find them here and there, it is true; but still is the certain effect of our republican institutions, to do away with all our old family landmarks and distinctions, they are, indeed, 'few and far be- Three courses and dessert served up la fran- 1 eaiee, with side-dishes at pleasure, and the whole washed down with south-aido Madeira handed down from father to son, certainly make up a frightful picture of the hardships under which the Palmetto State groans. No wonder they can bear it no longer, and are bent on Hinging off this afflicting Government! Were they treated any thing less than with a tyranny which it fires one's heart to think of, they might, instead of three courses and a dessert, have at least six; add Constantia or Tokay to their pre-revolutionary vintages; but twice as many dainties and double bot- ties under their belts; and instead of spending but half their waking hours at tabic, spend them all! Alas! what an oppressed, what a down trodden people! But, seriously, upon this state of Tacts, which, derived from herself, must bo taken for unquestionable, and arc no doubt true, what has South Carolina to complain of? Her planters have, each within his own unbought and unburdened supply, luxuries that might content the palate of an Apicius, and may enjoy them in a Sybarite ease and a Parisian elegance. If they live thus, what othor i part of the country might not, if capable of such a feeling, envy them They oppressed by the Gene- ral Government Why, according to this show- ing, they pay next to nothing to it! "But, cry they, "the Government has disfranchised us by excluding slave property from California." Your pardon, gentle sirs. You yourselves at first insisted that it was for California alone to determine whether she would or would not exclude slavery; and tho Government has, accordingly, only left her to her own untrammelled choice.

If you arc insulted, it is by California, and by that which you swore she had a perfect right to do. If, however, you will still have it that she insults you, why, what do you want to go there for? Stay away. You'll get nothing so good there, for money, as you have at home without paying a doit. uuai: may unucr a ivuvurniuciii wim.u ici? the Abolitionists steal southern negroes Never!" 1 Softly, ye ardent patriots The Abolitionists have not stolen yours.

When Washington was 67 years old hs laid upon his death-bed. "I find I am dying," said he; "my breath connot long." And again: "Doctor, I die hard, but I atn not afraid to go; I believed, from my first attack, I should not survive it; my breath cannot last long." And so he ceased to brcatho. More than a quarter of a century elapsed before a similar scene was witnessed. the same day, the first jubilee of the nation, Adams, at 90 years of ago, and Jefferson at 83, came down to their last hour. "I resign myself to my God," said Jefferson, "and my child to my country." Soon after Adams exclaimed, "Independence forever!" and all was over.

They, too, had ceased to breatho. Five years after this, at 71 years ofngc, Monroe ceased to breathe. Fire years after this, at 85 years of ago, Madison ceased to breathe. Nearly five years after this, at 68 years of age, Harrison remarked "Sir, I wish you to understand the true principlesof the Government; I wish them carried out; I ask nothing more." And he ceased to breathe. Four years after this, at 7t years of age, Jackson in ntulmipp "Mv Ihouirh great, are nothing in comparison with those of my dying Saviour, through whose death I look for everlasting happiness." And he ceased to breathe.

In less than three years after this, at 87 years of age, tho second Adams declared "This is the last of earth; I ain content." And he ceased to bruathe. In a little more than one year after this, at 53 years of age, Polk bowed his head in baptism, confessing his Saviour. And he ceased to breathe. The lamented Taylor, at 65 years of age, submitted to the solemn decree. "I am ready for the summons," said he "1 have endeavored to do my duty.

I am sorry to leave my friends." And lie ceased to breathe.

No further Cumibblamd Cumberland (Md.) Civilian, itt Friday, the following Tkt Railroad We have already noticed the commencement of the laying of the track on the railroad weat of Cumberland. Thia work now progressing rapidly under the supervision of Mr. Roseby Carr, an efficient officer who hae long been in the service of the company. The auperior manner in which it ia done elicited commendation! from the beat judgea in thia region of country. Already have seven milea been completed, and on Tuesday last a number of officers in the service of the railroad company made an experimental trip to the point at which about one hundred hauda are engaged in the varloua processes of laying the track.

Thev went up in a passenger car, and were very much pleased with their expedition, and particularly with the aumptuoua repast provided for them by Mr. Roseby Carr. It ia highly gratifying to know that thia great work ia advancing with giant strides towards the Ohio river. 'Arrival by the Railroad Tueaday last the railroad west of Cumberland paid its first tribute to the capital and energy that are employed in its construction. On that day a train of cars brought down from Brady's mill, about six milea ubove Cumberland, two hundred barrels id lluur, being the first freight on the road from that direction.

"yew Stopping Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have made an arrangement which will be highly convenient to the citixens of Virginia and Maryland residing uear the South Branch. Tho cars now stop at South Branch bridge, and the price of the trip between that point and Cumberland is fixed at twenty-five cents. The Otho boat carried on her last trip down the canal one hundred and ten tons of coal. She is thus entitled to the credit of having carried a larger cargo of coal than any other boat that haa left Cumberland." Attkmptbd Moaoaa of Addul days ago we noticed a rumor that an attempt had been made to poison the Sultan The Courrier dee Elate- Unie has an article professing to give the particulars. The conspiracy waa formed by a number of fanatic Ulemas, headed by the Sultan's brother.

They opened their project to Abdul Mcdjid's physician, and offered him one million piastres to administer the fatal potion. He pretended to consent, but demanded a written promise for the payment of the money. Having obtained this from the tooconfiding conspirators, he revealed the whole plot to the Sultan, and os the young prince refused to credit bis statement, produced the memorandum as proof. Tho further stay of the physician at Constantinople became impossible. The same evening a Turkish war-steamer sailed for Trieste, bearing tlio physician and his wife, whom the Sultan would not permit to depart without generously cr i vi cr i hpin fh? an mn an whirk kaH iipoti mm.

Some days after it was noticed that several of the most noted Uietnaa had disappeared, and it was supposed that they had been the subjects of one of those mysterious executions in which the Turkish government formerly excelled. As for the Sultan's brother, no one knows what has become of him, but it is conjectured that be is at the bottom of the Bosphorus.

Aifrb IMct Washington, April 12, ISdl. The nevi from Europe considered favorable to (he commercial interest of our country. The advance in cotton no dontit increase the anlea in our southern cities, f.isl adticeS from Mobile state sales of only 1,000 to bales per day; the stock of cotton unsold amounted to one buodted and thirty thousand bales. By private letters front California we are advised that the scarcity of rain will not decrease the product of gold, as the miners can now work in the bed the streams, which are rirhAr Ihnn th? Hrtr tlitrtrintri. The rtilea of earth which they have been throwing up during the winter will be available nt the next wet season.

Thus the miuerS will be enabled to work the whole year, and the yield wilt no doubt be larger than any previous one. At the sailing of the last steamer, gold dust was coming in more freely, but was readily bought at a 25 per Ounce. Rates of Discount os UiicurrCBlt Bank NotesCorrected by Ckulib, Sehmck 12.

THIS article having been in uae for some time, to a coneidcrable extent, throughout the United States and Canada, and the flattering accounts received from all quarters, in regard to its merits and value as a tonic, indnces the proprietor to present it at this time to the public, as invaluable in cases of General Debility, Low of Appetite, Indigestion, and Languor, that generally pervades the Dody at this season of the year. Its composition is wholly and purely vegetable, and is adapted to all classes, and to all ages and conditions.

It is equal in flavor to the best table wines, and when used as a beverage imparts to the body energy and strength; and, unlike other wines, is attended with no lassitude after its use. Chasbvillk, (L. 1.) July 17,1850. Sib: I have used the article of Planett's Bitters, and have derived from them great benefit. I have been subject for years past to the ftvtr and Ague, but since the introduction of your Bitters I have entirely escaped my usual attacks, and can with confidence recommend them as one of the best tonics in use.

Respectfully, yours, 'C. N. BUNDING. Srai.vG visld, June 20, 1860. MvDear Sib: It gives me much pleasure to state that the dytprptia, with which my wife has been so long troubled, arising from inaction of the liver, has been entirely overcome and cured by the use of your invaluable preparation of Bitters; and lor your kindness in recommending them please accept my thanks.
