Tbeir object is Ox oomaund of the pu sage icim Ik Continent through Ltk Nicaragua. With a thip oacal through tha whole 'diataiuw.

or with a aval em of canals and rail oiW, ikjf win dlmtnUh the disuaoe between Loadoa aadCaBtoa.byths whole distance round Cspe Hon, aaa" will also avoid the danger of that very perilous route. And they will auoceed in thi project. The Central America! natto, if aatioa it maybe called, cannot reist thi at and Mexico is and will continue to be too Bioch disorganised to think of refuting it Be 'idea, British interest and influence will predominate in Mexico, and prevent any oppoal A ibia nmiiwf nf bee British null uj www) cannot prevent it, became the Ame unU ant nniln nMH ID nrflventive liuen cvnw mess tin that may involve a war wnh England; and with the majority, and especially with our leaders of partie, the threat of a British war will probably be decisive. The British statesmen well know how to make this threat efleo tua). By financial operation, conducted by the government through tbe bank and the great brokers, ths English statesmen will create large artificial balances sgainst our merchants, and large expansions of our paper currencies; and then, well knowing that a war would create financial difficulties, and pro trate our merchants by thoa ends, they will threaten war, and thus intimidate at irom any uoner use wwiw TWlaiul and Central America.

Having accomplished this great project, Eng land will be stronger, commercially, than at any former period. She will from Mexico, if be has not already, and before the treaty now before tbe Senate will be ratiutd, the session of and aloag tbe Gulf of California, from Lat. 31 to 23 N. This extensive coast must contain some good harbors, not yet explored. The beat of these will be selected for a depot for Tbe Sandwich Islands, In N.

Lat. SO, ars distant from California by forty five degree of Longitude, or about 2300 miles, lex than the distance between Liverpool or Bristol and Halifax Tbe distant from these to the Ladroae Islands, ia N. Lat. 30, is fifty five degrees of Longitude, about 3300 miles, or that betwesn Liverpool and New York. Tbe distance between the Ladrooa Island and Canton, in N.

Lat. 23, 30, is thirty five degrees of Longitude, or about 2000 miles. Thus tbe whole distance between Canton and Lower California, oa this route, will not exceed 8000 mile, Interrupted by two intermediate stations, with a distance be nreea any two points, not exoeeuing wai oer twees England and New York. The English wOl establish depots at some port in California, at the Sandwich Islands, at the La drones, an at Canton, well supplied with coal, and every thing else necessary to steam navigation. They 111 W11M IUUUUWW WM WUTSIt Island, distant only 1700 mites from the South en extremity of California, and only 2400 mile in the direct line to the Sandwich Island.

They will find ia Northern Oregon abundance of timber for ship building, and can import hemp from 'Manilla, and machinery from England. The diataace between Southern California and ths Gulf of Nicaragua doe not exceed 2000 mile aloog the coatt. Here then is a chain of steam navigation, which will give to England the command of the China trade for Europe and the United Stales. Our merchants must go round the Cspe, till they can build a railroad aoros i the Continent, to Lower Oregon or Upper Cali 1 1 i i i r. And eves if this railroad be built, will it enable us to overcome this competition Let us ace.

The British rovernment will seize the Sandwich Islands and tbe Lsdrones. They will find pretexts enough, and will overcome' all objection raised by other. 8hall sue object we have no concern with the Lsdrones, and the Britii will defy all European objection. If we object to their, seixure of the Sandwich Islands, they will tell us that possession is every thing, and we msy, if we choose, auempt to expel tbem. And if we should, their navy ia that great maritime nursery, Northern Oregon, would soon prostrate our eities and towns along the eoait of Southern Oregon and Upper California, and weep our whalemen from the Pacific.

Shall we ruh inte war amid such dangers? We say nothing about danger to our Atlantic eities, British fleet at Bermuda and Halifax. This British lever was somewhat used in tbe war of 1812, was eflectoslly threatened in the negotiations about the Northeattera (boundary and Oregon, and will be effectually tried in tbe est war. And evea without a war, our whale fishery in the Pacific will find a new and dkble, if not effectual competition, ia the aew British lodgments oa the Pacific chore and the Sandwich and Ledrone island. All these things am in the volume of futurity. They are clearly foreseen by British statesmen, Who are making, to accomplish tbem, every step suggested by talent, foresight, prudence aad resolution.

Many American politician suppose that England i la her old age, is declining rapidly, snd will soon become aa inconsiderable power, to be dethroned by the young giant of the West. We advise such reasooers to look at the best mode, ia national affaire, of looking so forward. This grmg itadrJ, tufraaud aatioa aow own aa empire oa wh eh tbe sun never sets. She owns aad controls thst India for which the Western Caucasian have been contending for five thoa rssd years, snd which ha alternately mad the i i n.k.,i.. i I.

Mi. ace, Egypt, Tyre, Sidon, Carthage, Greece, Borne, Constantinople, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Holland. 8he has endured as aa empire from tie expulsion of tbe Romans ia 423, or about 1400 years; and her people at home, 'whose intellectual aad moral energy has don so much, have now more intellectuil snd moral 1 energy than at say former period The failure of a few mercbaau, the tempoary embarrassments of the bank, the quarrels ia Parliament about sinecures, suffrage aad Church rales, will not overthrow the British empire. The aristocracy of birth and rank may be overthrown, re. Kgioa may become free, aad suffrage may beet me universal All the excrescences of tna present system may be cut oft.

Still Old England, with her geographical positioa, her in'er Bal resesvees, her inieliigent aad eaergetio people, her time tried jurisprudence, her free political elements, Vet long sighted policy, will eocliffM, a heretofore, to staad upright and to grow. And she wHl growth faster for easting en" the dead weight which have not prevented her from growing as she ha.

tioa to Mr. Clay. From 11 until after 3 o'clock, they poured into the vast saloon, which was. "fluring most of the time, thronged with a gather ing ot beauty and taahion, sues as 1 not otten looked upon." A bend of musio was in attendance snd enlivened the proceedings by a selection of beamiful musio. The ladies, under the direction of the Committee of Reception, formed a line of tbe fair candidates, and the ceremony of introduction progressed without the least confusion.

A number of handome presents were made to Mr, Clay by tbe ladies, including rings, breastpins and other mementoes of the occasion. Among them was an umbrella of most beautiful workmanahip, made expressly for the occasion. It was surmounted with a small bust of Mr. Clay. The number that presented themselves for an introduction has been timated at five thousand, snd this cannot be far fro the mark.

Among tbem was a val number of children, brought by their parents to share the honor they themselves coveted, and several of the smiling urchins were blessed by tbe sage of A'hland with peculiar fervor when told that thev were namesakes of his. About 13 o'clock, a member of the committee of reception announced that there would be a suspension of tbe ceremony of introduction for a lew minutes. Mr. Clay then took his post upon the platform, in front of which he bad previously been stsnding, and emp'oyod the lew minutes allowed a a recess to tne delivery of a few remarks suitable to tbe occas'on. Hi commenced by saying that he did not take his present position for the purpose of delivering an elaborate address, ss the occasion was inappropriate, and time bad not been afforded him for that due preparation, without which he thought it would ill become him to speak before bis countrymen; and how much more would it be necesrsry when his hearers were composed of his fair countrywomen.

He could nut, however, refrain from expressing, in few words, his grest trbligation and eord al thanks for theen thsxiastio testimonials of welcome that had been showered upon him. It was now forty one year since the first time he hsl visited thit fine city, snd every subsequent vait he hid bees the recipient ot toe greatest kindness, the most liberal hospitality; and he could truly say that he had never visited tbe city without pleasure, and never left it without regret Upon no former occasion, however, had he been toe subject of such aa enthuoiastic and general welcome aa during his present Visit; and he begged his fair hearers, nt accepting forlhemfelves his heartfelt gratitude, to be the organ to convey to tbsir hunudsj fathers, and brothers, his cordial thanks, his lasting gratitude; and assure tbem, while life endured, he would never forget ue msrics of undoes lavished upon him. Bv the laws of civilisation and christianitv. he said, different duties hsd been assigned to the two sexe, and marked line drawn between their different spheres of action. To belong tbe steamer rraliiies of life the cultivation of rtbe soil the prosecution of war, when unhap pily me calamity ot war solids toe und the conduct of tbe publio affairs of the country belongs also to the duties that devolve upon us but when you reflect upon the eares that beset our path, or bear the calumnies that are heaped upon the occupants of high places, you will have no just catre of complaint that your sphere of action is different.

To yon be'oog ths domestic duties of life, to rear the young, and to impress upon their infest minds the precepts of religion ana morality to instil teelings ot patriotism snd love of country, and above all, to prepare tbem for future usefulness end honor. He continued, by saying that there was no irieconciiaoiiuy oetween tne condition end spheres of action of the two sexes they bar monisd beautifully together. He referred again to the many obligations of which he had been the unworthy recipient, and coooluded with an earnest appeal thai it should be the emulation of both sexes tn produce lbs rreatest amount of good, snd that it should be their joint effort to render our country great and glorious our children ornaments of society, snd the whole people screptable in the sight of God.

Chief Justice Gibson delivered the op nion of the Supreme Court in the case of the City of Philadelphia vs. Tne CominissionTs of Spring Garden sod Northern Liberties. Tbe decision was in favor of the defendantsand the Court order tbe injunction dissolved and tbe bi dU misred The grounds taken by the Court are these: The use of water flowing in its natural channel, like the use of heat, light or air, bas been held in every civilised nation, from the earliest times, to be eommon bv tbe law of allure, and not merely gives te the public like the me ot river or port, which is sunje to municipal regulation by law. The domestic of wster are its natural and primary one. If it be common at fi at, it must continue to be so whilst returning by its natural chmnel to the ocean.

No one can a right to tbe aggregate drop that compose the masses thus flowing, without contravening one of the most peremptory laws ol nature. The City claim under the Schuylkill Navigation Company tbe grant can pass no more rights than were given to tbe company. The 15th section of the net of incorporation gives them the right to use the water sessss from the river to propel such machinery as they may think proper to erect oa every land they may have, with authority to lease or sell such water pover. A grant of the water power is not a grant of the water fur any thing else than the propulsion of machinery, and does not exclude tbe use of tbe water by any one ia a way which dots not injure or deerea the power. It is not a grant of the property oa the body of the water as a chattel.

Tbe rvpoodest thererore cannot be restrained from taking tbe tree and running water of a river, or for anything bet a nui an by decreasing the volume and force of the current. Conns of Equity will not enjoin against a nuisance aniens it is a clear case of injury, lathis case there is no Injury or nuisance. About two millions of galluns ere taken from the river daily by the respondents, whilst from one hun dreJand fifty to Ave hundred million gallons at the tsois lime are tumbling over the dam. If the population of these districts was te benome ss great ss that of London, but forty millions would be consumed daily. Equity will not interfere where the psrtie can have the remedy by an actios at law.

An abstraction of water for dome tie purposes is tot technical injury to the eiwiplainanl's water power, aad this whether it is diawn irom tbe pool or tbe si ream above. It ws the intention ot the legislature to give the ernipssy the mooopoiy of the power inci dentally created by their works and by no means 10 ceprive tne apiras owners Irora their right to divert tbe stream for purposes of irri gation, leaving it afterwards to re.tura to it natural ehsanel. Bv giving the company the right to sell the surplus water power, it was nut intended to apply the stream for every purpose to Sis exclusive see, asd to debar the inhabitants of tbe vil ages, eitte or farm, oa it margins, from using its water for cooking, inki ig, washing, or any other dometie purpose. Tbe inhabitant of tbe district have a right te dip water from the margin of the river, or to transport it to their houses, nnd by rreoiing water works, they had only chosen a better and cheeper plan. For these reaon the Court think there is no equity in favor of tbe com Slamaa'S, and tberelVve order tbe injunction iseolvrd snd bill di misaed.

It appears by the return that Jonas Ro was enlisted si soldier in tbe srmy of the At the tints of bia enlistment he wa a minor, ab iva the age of 18 year and bound by an indenture of an prenl.ceahip to Abraham Poliinger, but it was not st bis request nor by hi desir that the habeas corpus was issurd rat the contrary, he is well satisfied with his situation and wishes to remain in the army. The object of the act of Assemb'y, was to secure personal liberty, not to decide di'pote as to property. The Court, 'after examining into the facta relating to the case, and into ths cause of eonfii ement, or restraint, is to bail, remand, or discharge the party, as to justice shall Now here we can neither bail, remand, nor discharge, because there is neither confinement nor restraint.

Tbe pwty wishes to remsis where he is. In short, it is a mere dispute between the officer and the master, who claims a right to the service of his spprertice. The case is, therefore not wilbin the provisions of tbe set of Assembly." Tbe decision also points to the civil remidy which tbe master msy have against the officer who takes the apprentice away from his sera vice. After a hearing of the facts, the Court refused to discharge Kraus, but advised Mr. Mann, counsel for the master, to take the case before tbe Supreme Court, on a habeas corpus, for the purpose nf having the decision referred to by the United States Attorney reviewed, and to as etrtain if auch is hrld to be the law now.

Mr. Pettit remarked that proof having been adduced to show that Krau was a minor when he enl Med, it wss very probaMe thai he would be discharged from tbe service by tbe government. Philadelphia BUaek Worl: The want of an establishment of this kind haa been long felt in this City and County, on account of the ex pensei delay and inconvenience of sending on Shirting, Sheetings, Drillings, Arc to Providence, R. snd elsewhere in the Eastern Slates.

To the fourth question, it was snswered by tbe deponents that lha patronage of the Court Wa very great, but none of them had.the means of ascertaining the preois amount.

To ihe filth question, tbe deponents snswered tbat tbe Jur'gea appointed Auditors, Examiners, Coo mist ioner and Mast ia Chancery during alternate term, snd that Judges King snd Parson were in tbe hsbit of appointing relatives either by blood or sffinity for ihe perform si.ee of such duties. As to tbe Judge Campbell and Kelley, no such objection spplied st far as the witnesses knew. To ihe sixth question the testimony was, that ia consequence of the Court requiring tfndavits that the parties who suggested names for auditors, eisminers, tie were all tbe parlies in interest the law pa that subject hsd become a dead Idler, and several ot the witnesses said thst they hsd ontbat account ceased to reoora met ny one for tuck offices, beesuse they ex pecttd that their application! would not be attended to. It was thought that under the rule and practice which the Court have adopted oa thia subject, tbe Judge, for all practical purpose, rttaia th power of making such appointments. To the seventh question, a majority of the witnesses stated that they had no knowledge of their own, aa to whether after the parties interested in an estate have appointed or nominated a compe est auditor, examiner, commissioner or matter, such appsin'ment or nomination has been stricken out by any Judge, and the name of another person inserted.

Almost all of the deporien's hsd heard ot cases in which tbe Judges had refused to appoint persons who were nominated by the parties in interest To Ihe eighth question, the deponents stated that the system was a good one, if it was properly conducted, but as it was, the publio bad no confidence in it, and in their opinion it did reniiiie legislative interference. To the ninth que tion, the answer of the deponents showed a diversity of opinion, but all agreed that three Judge were suffio ent lo conduct the business ss it ha been trsnsac ed. Wi'h proper attention to the business of Ihe Courts, and the employment of two Jude in the Quarter Sessions, it was believed that the four Judges might be required. To the tenth question the deponents unanimously replied that in the event of the reduction of tbe number of Judges to three, their labors would not be equal to those of tbe Judges of the District Court, whom they agreed in say irg were overworked and under paid. Towards the hist sn additional question was put, ss to whether tbe Judges hsd appointed incompetent persons for auditors, ice.
