1 1 1 5 INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS OF MICHIGAN.Bills have passed the House of Representatives appropriating State lands for the extension of the Central railroad, 140,000 acres; for the Southern railroad 45,000 acres; also, 15,000 acres for the improvement of Grand river, 10,000 acres for the Clinton and Kalamazoo canal, and 5,000 aeres for the Flint river. As the Legislature have no money at command, they appropriate the lands which they received from the General Government, under the act of September, 1841. Low FARES. -The Boston Post says the Concord and Lowell railroads are reaping a golden harvest from reduction of fares, and would be still greater gainers if a further reduction was made, without any compulsion from competeing roads. There have been sales of Concord stock at 40 per cent.

LOCAL MATTERS.

The Public -The examinations of the schools, were yesterday continued by an exhibition. of the progress made by the pupils and Female schools No. 5 and 6. School No. 5 is located at the corner of Monument and Forest streets, and numbers about 200 scholars.

The male department is under the direction of Mr. T. H. Robinson, principal and Mr. Benjamin Charles, assistant.

The pupils gave a very creditable exhibition of their powers. The female department is under the direction of Miss Emily Jones, principal, and cus, assistants. The school numbers about 212 Miss M. L. Simpson and Miss Francispupils.

The progress of the pupils in this school, and the great increase in numbers, speaks well for the efficiency of the schools and the hold which they have taken upon the affections of the community. The pupils were addressed severally by Messrs. Harker, Sanderson, Wilson and Bowie. School No. 6, is located in Ross street, near St.

Mary's street, Mr. E. Yates Reese is principal of the male department, and Mr. Wm. R.

Creery, assistant. They have under their direction about 220 pupils, and we must say that no school has reflected more credit upon their teachers than this. Several the school commissioners were present, one of whom, Mr. Keyser, addressed the boys. The Femaledepartment numbers about 130 pupils, and is under the direction of Miss Eliza Adams, principal, and Miss Ann E.

Cockey, assistant. These ladies have had charge of the school but a short time, but the pupils evince considerable proficiency. They were also suitably addressed. Sunday night, about midnight, in the absence of a coroner, John Wright, was called upon to hold an inquest upon the dead body of a newly born white female child, which was found in an alley leading to the yard of Mr. Henry Horn, in Perry street, between Hanover and Sharp streets.

It had been placed there sometime between dark and eleven o'clock. The verdict of the jury was death by the hands of some persen or persons unknown. It is a pity that the unfeeling mother could not be traced out, and punished for this worse than brutal act. Unfortunately infanticides are rarely discovered. Narrow Escape -As Mr.

James Young, printer, was descending a long flight of stairs in a building at the corner of Baltimore and Eden streets, yesterday, the whole flight suddenly gave way, precipitating him with great violence to the floor below, amidst the falling fragments, and causing for a few moments a slight stunning effect, but happily with no other The escape seems to have been truly Providential, and we congratulate our neighbor thereupon. City Court. -The court met yesterday pursuant to adjournment, but there being no cases ready for trial, after some considerat.on of the case of the Spaniards charged with the murder of Henry Henshell, which was appointed for Wednesday next, they adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock. We are requested to say that the witnesses in the case of Southmayd, Wilson, Price, Back, Freeburger, Shade, and Walsh, must be punctual in their attendance, or attachments will issue to compel them. Shameful party of young men, on Sunday afternoon returning from a drive into the country, where they had evidently imbibed potations "pottle deep," not satisfied with the which the road afforded, went "helter skelter" through the streets, sometimes upon the pavement, sometimes in the road, to the imminent hazard of life and limb beside their own, or the subject would perhaps be scarcely worth notice.

The police finally got hold of the horse's head and brought him to, but the party proved that they were sober enough to use their legs in danger and sloped rapidly, for Texas or parts known. Warrants out yesterday, but with what success does not yet appear. Accident. -A Jas young H. man recently met from New named Carter, with a very severe accident on Sunday last, while on his way to Back River, on a gunning expedition, driving a horse and buggy.

Mr. Sturgeon arose and announced the arrival of his colleague, the Hon Simon Cameron, who, he said, was prepared to take the usual oath, (viz: to support the Constitution of the United States.) Mr. Cameron then advanced to the desk of the Secretary, where the obligation was administered to him by the Hon. G. M.

Dallas, the officer of the Senate, and he returned presiding to his seat. Cameron was elected a Senator of the United States by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, on Thursday last, to supply the the Hon. vacancy created by the resignation Buchanan, and to serve during the term ending "the 4th of March, Webster then arose and announced that his late colleague, the Hon. Isaac Chapman Bates, a Senator from the State of Massachuthis life at his lodgings, in this setts, departed city, at twenty minutes past six o'clock end yesterand having reached the of his evening; carthly pilgrimage, he had gone to another and a better world. The character of the deceased was portrayed in a manner simple, unaffected, and eloquent; and Mr.

Webster, during the delivery of the remarks applicable to his late friend, had frequent occasion to pause and weep. Although profound silence prevailed in Senate Chamber, many his words were denied an audible utterance by his emotions of sorrow. Mr. Huger availed himself of the occasion to express his deep regret at the melancholy event, and to bear testimony to the uprightness, honor, intelligence and urbanity of his departed friend. Mr.

Evans, to evince a proper mark of respect on the part of the Senate to the memory of the deceased, and express the loss which the Senate, in common with the country, had sustained, submitted a series of resolutions. 1. That a committee be appointed to take order for superintending the funeral of the late Isaac C. Bates, to take place to-morrow, at 12 o'clock; and that the Senate attend the same. 2.

That the members of the Senate, from a sincere desire to show their respect for the memory the deceased, go into mourning for space of one month, by wearing crape on the left Format as a further mark of respect the Senate do now adjourn. The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and Messrs. Evans, Mangum, Woodbury, BarSevier and Cass, were appointed the comrow, mittee in pursuance of the first resolution. HORRIBLE -The Newark Post gives a remarkable account of the death of MaAnn Watts, who married Henry Greene, and ry came to her death about a week after by poison administered by her husband. On the fourth day after their marriage, Greene visited Hoosack, in Rensselaer county, in company with his wife, her brother, a Mr.

Niles, and several ladies.Among the ladies was one to whom he had formerly paid his addresses, and who had rejected his overtures for marriage. On this occasion she made herself very agreeable to him, and it is supposed that from this pircumstance he came to the conclusion that, if his wife was out of the way, he might yet succeed with his former passion. On the following day his wife complained of having taken cold, and he gave her some pills which are now believed to have contained poison. In less than two hours she began to complain of being deadly sick, and vomited violently. A physician was called, who left her two white powders, but instead of giving her the medicine thus left, Greene gave her something white from a spoon mixed with water, and which has since been ascertained to be arsenic by the dregs left in the spoon.

The powder which he should have given he neglected to destroy, and the circumstance of the two powders being left after the medicine was known to have been administered, was the first circumstance that awakened suspicion. Still, however, Mary Ann lingered, and it is believed that he continued to administer poisonous drugs in her nourishment up to the time of her death. It seems that on the third day of her illness she began to suspect her husband of foul play, and upbraided him in mild and melting terms. She died on the third day, and her brother then openly declared his belief in Greene's guilt, and accused him of the deed. Great excitement was manifested at his examination, and the letter says that at least 1000 persons were present.

He was committed for trial, and lodged in the Troy jail. The trial comes on in April. The people of Rensselaer are much excited against him. WOMEN IN OFFICE. -The new constitution of New Jersey gives to the people in' the several townships the right to elect their justices of the peace.

The right of election heretofore rested with the Legislature in joint meeting, and as that body was revolutionized nearly every other year, about every other man had been rewarded by a "squire's" commission. In Woodwich township, Gloucester county, the people, in town meeting, last week, it seems, came out unitedly against the Hunkers," and, to form a full ticket of candidates fresh from the people, took up two very respectable maiden ladies, Sally Brown and Betsy French, and voted them in by a triumphant majority. THE AMOUNT OF TExAS Major Andrew Jackson Donelson, our Charge d'Aflaires to Texas, states that he has taken the necessary steps to ascertain the amount of Texas bonds and notes unredeemed at this time. He is satistied that the amount now in circulation is not more than between five and six millions of dollars. For the correctness of this statement ex-President Houston, than whom no one has better means of being accurately informed on the subject, gave the strongest assurance and vouched in positive terms.

We presume from this statement that a great quantity of the Texan bonds and notes has been received by the government in payment for lands--and hence the reduction of the debt of the republic. AN An elopement took place on Wednesday evening last, which created some sensation in a certain quarter of Philadelphia. A lady, in fact, eloped from her husband's residence in Prune street, stripping, at the same time, the house of about $500 worth of furniture and all the cash she could get of. She went off with a young man whom she had previously introduced into her house as a relative. She leaves a family behind her.

The guilty pair have gone towards New Orleans. DEATH OF A U. S. SENATOR. -The Hon.

Isaac Bates, one of the Senators from Massachusetts, died in Washington oll Sunday evening, after an illness of two weeks. He was surrounded by his family, who had repaired to Washing. ton on hearing of his illness. His decease was announced in the Senate yesterday morning, by hiscolleague, Mr. Webster, and the usual funeral ceremonies will probably be attended to to-day.

MASSACHUSETTS HOSPITAL. -Besides the le. gacy of $20,000 by the late Israel Mason, the trustees of this institution have received a large amount in aid of the increased usefulness of the hospital, through various public subscriptions. The sum received by this appeal to the generosity of the citizens of Massachusetts has amouuted to $62,550. POLITICS IN N.

ADVANTAGES OF BALTIMORE. -We have mentioned lately in our columns several improvein our vicinity, all calculated to carry out ments in a practical sense the theories which we have often urged on our citizens relative to the adso vantages of Baltimore as a manufacturing city. All things considered, we possess advantages suto many cities whose very existence deperior pends on their manufactures, whilst our facilities of communication with the south and west are admitted to be unsurpassed. Now then, whilst the southern States are commencing to turn their attention to this system of furnishing themselves with articles necessary for their own consumption, it is time that the abundant capital afloat in our city should be directed to the same channel. As a means of intercepting the south.

ern and western trade, it would be all important, and our merchants would not then witness, as is now the case, so many heavy dealers passby their doors to make their purchases in ing Philadelphia and New York. Baltimore is in a central location, with a temperate and healthy climate, and all the great arteries of travel diverging from her limits. Hands are plenty and house rent low- -provisions are good and cheapand coal of a superior quality can soon be put into the factory for three dollars a ton. The raw material is abundant and cheap, water in abun. dance, and the demand for manufactured goods far greater than the supply.

The New York in alluding to the natural advantages of Sun, Maryland, glance at the map will show that no State in the Union is better situated for manufacturing She is blessed with a genial climate; the means of life abundant, and of enterprise. consequence the prices of labor moderate; unsurpassed facili. ties of water power; the iron and coal region at hand; convenient intercourse with the best markets; the Chesapeake indenting the state almost its whole depth, with the Potomac on the west, literally to every county in the State the giving advantage of navigable communication with the whole United States coast -an advantage which the steam revolution in trade will teach the manufacturing world, is not to be lightly esteemed. She is truly independent." It would, therefore, seem strange that whilst attracting the attention of the our advantages are capitalists of the North, but few of our own citizens seem disposed to secure to themselves the rich harvest which is within their reach. Although there has been some movement in the matter, it does not compare with the energy and enterprise with which our neighbors of Phila.

delphia have commenced operations- -the fruits of which are already evident in an increased acof all branches of trade. The Gazette of tivity that city speaks of long rows of boxes in Market directed to all points of the west and southstreet, west, and of the large numbers of country merchants who have made their appearance there. The hotels are full of strangers, and everything is life and activity. The fact 15, that Philadelis gathering the cream of the rich trade of phia the West, whilst Baltimore and New York must content themselves with the blue milk. The of New York are lamenting over this fact, papers and the heavy burthened steamers which daily land at our wharves such innumerable packages of goods from that city, for the West, give us a practical demonstration of the reward which they are reaping for their enterprise and industry.

It is time, therefore, that our capitalists were stirring themselves -that our merchants were endeavoring to secure the advantages which the geographical position and internal improvements warrant us in claiming for our city, and which, with combined and harmonious action and determined energy and enterprise, will soon be secured to her. There should be more unanimity of feeling about the vital interests of our city, which alone is wanting to secure her triumph over all rivals for the trade of the South as well as that of the West. THE WEATHER AND ST. PATRICK'S DAY.usual St. Patrick's day threw the gage of the clerk of the weather entirely out of geer, and gave us such a specimen of his power, the prototype of which we never expect to see again until another recurrence of the anniversary of the natal day of Ireland's patron Saint.

First came a regular snow storm, each flake as big as a dollar-then came a disagreeable rain and sleet which ultimately gave way to another of snow. At half past ten in the morning the sun succeeded in getting a peep from behind the clouds, but was soon compelled to retreat before a reinforcement of rain and snow. From eleven until one o'clock there seemed to be a regular struggle between sunshine and the snow king for the mastery, which was finally gained by the former, and from that time until three o'clock we were greeted with a bright and cheerful sun melting away the snow, and drying the pavements in double quick time. At about four o'clock some heavy clouds came from the south west, occasionally shutting out the cheerful rays of the sun, but for the remainder of the day all was bright and dry, a brisk March wind only inerfering with the enjoyment of the ladies in their evening promenade along Baltimore street. CHARGED WITH "LoG the Pennsylvania Legislature, on Saturday, the bill granting the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad prifilege to carry their road within the limits of that State, was under discussion, when Mr.

Heckman took occasion to make charges of gain and sale between friends of Gen. Cameron, who was elected U. S. Senator on Thursday, and the advocates of this bill, to procure its passage-one part of the agreement having been already fulfilled in the election of that high func tionary. As might be expected, this allegation waked up those who had voted for Mr.

Cameron, as well as those who desire the passage of this bill -both Whig and a had like to have ensued. The Speaker, who is himself one of the Democrats who contributed towards the election of Mr. Cameron, called Mr. H. to order for his sweeping charges against honorable members of the body.

explanations ensued, from all which it that the whole matter grew out of a casual conversation between Messrs. Darsie and Bigler, of the Senate, which some "eaves dropper" has retailed, with sundry embellishments, to Mr. mall. POLITICS IN RHODE -The election for Governor, Congress, in members of Rhode Island, next month, will turn almost entirely on the question of liberating Thomas W. Dorr.

The Whigs have renominated Gov. Fenner, and we perceive that the have dropped their party organization entirely, having nominated Whig candidates for both the Governor and legislature. They hold them pledged, if elected, the unconditional release of Mr. Dorr, but leave them to act in other matters according to their political principles. understand, says the delphia United States Gazette, that William L.

Asbmead, the agent of the Philadelphia, Wil. mington and Baltimore Railroad Company, has resigned his situation as agent, for the purpose of superintending the running of the Ericsson line of steamboats.

We have had the pleasure of hearing Miss JOSEPHINE BRAMSON ata private party, and must confess that we never heard a child (of ten years of age) play on the Piano Forte with all the rapidity, the precision, the steady time keeping, and the taste of an adult professor; she throws more force, also, into the volumes of her tones, than we could have supposed her physical strength could accomplish. We feel confident that she is destined to rival the greatest Pianist thus far known.
