Now, whoever takes Mr. street commissioner Lawrence to be a "green 'un," about election times, makes a wrong estimate of the man. Although it cannot be expected that these contracts, let on the 15th of October, will be completed this fall, still, every desirable purpose will be answered; as by a little "cute" manoeuvering, eight pledged contractors will each get a good, fat job which favor will, doubtless, be reciprocated, partly in JTovember.and the balance next April. The understanding is that the debt of gratitude for these eight autumnal fa vors, is to inure to the benefi of the whig party generally, and Mr. street commissioner in particu.

lar. Now let us reduce this political investment to first principles, and calculate its profits. Eight contracts equal eight whig coniractors. Each contractor will be pledged to furnish 50 votes. 50 8 400 These 400 whig votes may elect Mr.

street commissioner Lawrence, Sheriff of the county of Kings if not, they will be available in secur ng his appointment next April. Now off with your hats. Three cheers for Sheriff Lawrence Three more for the spoils of victory Three times three for the success of the great whig party not forgetting Pennsylvania "Hip, hip, hurra Dogs take the expense: we pay no taxes." Quere. "Will Mr. street commissioner Lawrence inform us if these eight street contracts have been authorised by the common council Job.

Judicial Convention. Our delegates from the Newburgh Convention have returned, and we learn from that the choice of the convention has fallet JOHN BROWN, a distinguished lawyer Orange county. The contest was chiefly between him and the present incumbent, Judge Strong. A large number of ballotings were had, the Long Island delegates sticking faithfully to Strong to the last. On the last ballot Strong had 8 and Brown 9, thus giving the majority to the Orange county candidate.

"We hear that "Westchester and Putnam both jiad candidates for the place. The candidate of "Westchester, was Robert S. Hart, of Bedford, an able young lawyer, who has already had considerable experience as county judge, and would honor any judicial station to which he might be elected. The candidate of Put nam county, was Mr. Ganun, also a young lawyer of ability, who is rapidly rising in the public estimation.

Mr. Brown, the successful candidate is a distinguished lawyer, to whom the place was tendered two years sgn and declined. He is a vigorous thinker, an industrious worker, and has a well poised, judicial mind. There is no doubt ofhis election and no doubt that he will make a most able and industrious judge. Resolutions highly complimentary to Judge Strong, were unanimously adopted, in which the convention strongly regretted to part with such an able and efficient judicial officer, but that the interests of their constituents most decidedly called for a Judge residing in one of the river counties in consequence of the illness of Judge Barculo preventing him from attending to the duties of his office the quarter part of his time.

The convention then resolved that the next judicial convention should be held at the "Waverly House near the South Ferry in the city of Brooklyn, on the 10th of October 1851, or at such other place in said city as the secretaries may select. The "Whig journals in this quarter seem to be very uncertain about Gen. Taylor's continuing his Northern tour this fall. "We will help them out of their dilemma by furnishing them with our "latest advices" on the subject. The General has informed us, that as he is not much acquainted with political management, and was advised against his own judgment to visit Pennsylvania to see what effect it would have upon the election.

He is now determed to wait the returns and be guided by the results there before he visits New York. Our whig friends may draw their own conclusions on the subject for our part we shall immediately write and strongly urge his visit. The National Intelligencer says, a letter has been received in which it is stated that Mr. Calhoun does not intend to resign his seat in the Senate of the United States. Various rumors have been afloat to the effect that Mr.

C. would probably retire from public life but they are all erroneous. he Jthiladelphia rtioTERs. The examination of the rioters commenced yesterday morning, 7 of whom were committed in default of each. One was also committed charged with riot, arson and murder.

We learn through a correspondent of the Montreal Herald that Lord Elgin's visit to the village of London, Upper Canada, was attended by the shooting and wounding of several persons. The Second WAsmNCTON. Several Journals have been disposed toccc ure the President for travelling about the country so much. The Evening Post very quaintly remarks, that "it is as much the duty of a President as of any one else, to travel and improve himself; and no one can indulge in that way to more advantage than President Taylor." The whigs, instead of hanging themselves, hang their heads, and say nothing only that the old man's nomination don't pay expenses A. broad hint.

Taylor and his Cabinet. "We take the liberty, says the "Washington Union, to copy the following extract fr a private letter addressed to one of the editors, by one of the most distinguished and talented democrats in New England, under date of the 3d inst.

All things considered, it would seem that no administration ever occupied so weak a position, so nearly at the outset of its career, as that of Gen. Taylor. Coming in as a minority President, and needing strength and support in the legislature, he has thrown away all the moral force and populari ty which insured his success has been guilty of a breach ot iaith and trust to to his electors and is now barely saved from odium and contempt by the humbling plea of mitigation, that he does not understand his position is incompetent to the duties of his office; and is ruled and controlled by his cabinet, who are to be held responsible, though in fact irresponsible, for all his executive acts The attempt to divert attention from the working of the whig scheme of which the President is made the instrument by an episode with the French minister and othe. stratagems, will fail of succeBi and the cabinet, held together for a while longer by the outward pressure as it floats towards the shore, will, not improbably, fall asunder, as it touches ground in the next congress. The Senate will, of course, compel the administration to retract the false pretences under which the removals of democrats from office have been made, and to r.dmit that they hs 'e been made for political causeB, in the face of the solemn protestations of General Taylor, confirm' 1 by "le adjurations of Clayton, Crittenden, and other nest whigs, that no democrat should be removed for a political cause.

After this there will not be salt enough left in the administration to save it. Ma. Clayton's Diplomacy. The melancholy and mortifying management of our foreign relations seems to be attracting the attention of the press everywhere. "We find the following paragraph up nn thi oiibject in that able, sound, aud discreet pa paper, the Charleston (S.

Mercury. All in the whong. Diplomacy never was more completely muddled than in the hands of Mr. Clayton. Confusion seems to preside over all his enterprises.

He cannot take a step without tread mg on Ins own or some body else heels. And while he has the faculty in perfection of blundering into difficulties, he is altogether without that governing good luck that helps some people to blund er out of them. Why is all the world buzzing an grily about the Secretary of State Even Billy could not stand ins rule the Uamanches, for the first time, brave the United States Fi ince could not even discuss a question of tobacco and salvage on a little merchant vessel with lum, but there must be talk of war, and stocks go down five percent. It were well if this were the end, but it is only the beginning of the end. The Chilian minister has been put out of temper and they say that, too, is a grave matter.

Besides, the King of the Mosquitos has been lectured about the naviga tion of the San Juan river; and Great Britain, as patron, has taken up the matter in a high key, which makes this perhaps the very worst of all Mr. Clayton's affairs. All this in six months. DaEADFUL Tornado In Cate May. The most destructive whirlwind that has occurred in N.

Jersey since the memorable tornado at New Brunswick many years ago, appears to have swept over the upper part of Cape May County about 5 o'clock on Thursday morning last. A letter from Den nisville, some 7 miles from Deleware Bay, to the State Gazette, says it first struck a new two story house belonging to "Willis Godfrey, which was torn from its foundations and dashed to pieces, Mrs. Godfrey, and two children miraculously escaping. "A few rods further, it came in contact with new story and a half house, in which the wife of Jones Corson, lately married, and her Bister, were both in one bed. jfiverything is swept clean where this house stood it was entirely demolished.

Mrs. Corson was found dead in the limbs of an old oak tree that was blown down some 40 yards from the site of the house. But little hopes are en tertained of the recovery of her sister, who was ter ribly mutilated. "From this point it passed onward, carrying fen ces.treos, fcc. before it.

It had a breadth of 40 yards a quarter of a mile further, where it encountered a large two story house, in which were the widow of Daniel 1 oung, her daughter and three others. The house met no better fate than those above mentioned, yet strange to say, the inmates received but slight injury. "At the end of another quarter of a mile, it struck a large barn, and what it did not take off entirely it scattered in every direction, From this point it upset some small buildings, and threw others off the blocks, until it reached Great Egg Harbor Bay. near Beesley's Point no doubt making a niariiifi cent water pout in its passage over the water. A part ol a root was lound on the point of Peck beach, four miles from the scene of disaster, and a hat six miles off.

A scythe without a sneath, was carried three fourths of a mile." Destructive Fire. A fire occurred at 3 1 2 o' clock yesterday morning, in the five story brick factory in the rear of Nos. 67 and 69 Forsyth street, belonging J. A.

The first two weeks after our departure.we made but CUD miles; and many days we did not make a mile, owing to dead calms, or light winds; and you may well imagine that this was tedious enough to a locomotive disposition like my own; butnow.that we are in the trades of the Pacific, we have some prospect of getting up before Christmas, if we have good luck. "While I was at Panama, there arrived daily, large numbers of passengers, and I have heard it asserted, and believe, that at one time there were over 3,000 persons awaiting their passage to California. In such a crowd the fear of the non arrival of vessels drove many of them to purchase dug outs, or canoes, and embark in them, and fears are entertained that they will never reach San Francisco. One company of fifteen members bought a life boat, which was brought from Chagres across the Isthmus, and paid $1,500 for it; this they rigged with masts, and also started for the grand El Dorado, buoyant with hope but alas, I fear, never to arrive. The sailing vessels that left Panama were also crowded to excess, and there will doubtless, be great suffering among the passengers, with three and four passengers in a berth, and that only six feet square.

The Humboldt, the vessel I was to sail in, had about 400 on board, and very few have sailed with less than 100. The vessel I sailed in, was adver tised to take 90 passengers, (sha is 250 tons) but succeeded in getting only sixty. And I had to forfeit my ticket for the Humboldt, which cost 200. The charge for a cabin ticket on board the former vessel, was which I paid and never have I had sucli cause for congratulating myself, as I have upon this occasion. The distinction between the cabin and steerage of the vessels that sailed for San Francisco is truly great, and the suffering of the latter was too much for "this child" to stand.

I took with me two of our company from the Humboldt, and the balance sailed in her, but whether they will ever arrive remains to be seen. She sailed before us but we passed her Wiien three days out, and have not since seen a sail. July 1st. "We are now 60 days out from Pana ma and have about 900 miles to make. It appears as if we never should arrive the detention aud delay have been caused by adverse winds.

I wrote you above that we were in the trades at that time we supposed we were, but it was fair wind, and lasted but a few days since which time we have had calms and head winds. "Wo are all well and everything goes on peaci On the 4th (Fourth of July) we had r. bang np time, and spent the day as gloriov ly i.s the occasion war rant id. I addressed the passeuL jrs and gave them an impromptu song, assisted by a glee club in the chorus. At dinner, home and friends were toasted more than once, and in good old champaigne at that, which flowed freely, but at the captain's expense, who provided wines and liquors for the occasion.

Reminiscences of the past frequently flitted across my mind, and I almost wished myself out of the expedition, and enj ying the society of kindred; but when, on the other tack, I fancied myself reaping thousands from the gleaming gold dust, I dispelled all though; of a return, at least for two years; how ever, I shall be better able to judge of my return after a few months' labor at the mines, and you shall be kept advised of the same. I Remainder to morrow.) "Wkeck of the St. John. It is stated by three of the passengers, that on fie afternoon of Satur day, after they had made Provincetown light, the Captain mustered the passengers on deck and joyfully assured them that the last night of their confinement on board had arrived. A sad truth, and most fearfully realized.

His passage had been a good one and he felt elated. The simple and light hearted passengers, in the exuberance of then feelings, prepared for an illuminacion the deck and rigging weie decorated with candles, and song and dance wore away the evening of their last night on board the St. John. The Captain dealt out to his crew a treat of ardent spirits, and all on board participated in the joys and hopes inci dent to the termination of an Atlantic passage. Eloquence.

Some men of learning, talent and eloquence have complained that they have been surpassed in this respect by men of mean pretensions, ull of sound, bombast and fury. To be popular is not always the most desirable good for the praise of the judicions is of much more worth. But the reason why many speakers are not more, popular, is because they do not address themselves to the standard of mind of the multitude. Their language is too grand their sentiments too high. They should observe Cromwell's advice to his soldiers, fire low'' You must first persuade before you can convince them: by aiming low, you stand a chance of hitting the heart.

No need of Justice yon a Slave. The Louis, ville Courier of the 5th, says A negro man was shot about 8 or 9 o'clock on "Wednesday night, on Pearl by Mr. "Wm. H. Forwood.

Mr. For wood saw the man steal a saddle, from a horse opposite his house and on attempting to arrest him lie resisted and while endeavoring to escape, Mr. shot and woui.ded him. On the natter being rep resented to Judge Joyes, of the police Court, he refused to take cognizance of the case." Ladies in San Francisco. "We learn by the Alta Californian," that in the month iding Aug.

20, 3096 males, and 87 females, arrived at that port by sea. This" only gives a proportion of one in forty three. Now that every thing is settling to order in San Francisco, and society is putting on an aspect of arrangement and propriety, we know no place where a number of smart, handsome, educated girls could go so well. Custom House. Sinco the fjanization of out go eminent, there never was such a farce jnncted as that which was Diesented at the Custom House in this city a few days since.

Never was there a proceeding more disgraceful or insulting to American freemen, than the meeting called by Mr. Col lector Maxwell on the eve of an important election lor the purpose ol ascertaining the political opinions and views of his subordinates, with a view of singnificantly indicating to them his expectation that their views would be in consonance with his own, and in favor of the present General and State administrations. Mr. Maxwell can furnish no precedent for such a course it was unworthy of his high character as a gentleman unworthy the position lie occupies, and degrading to those summoned to attend that meeting and who obeyed th summons.
