This distinguished gentleman recently paid a visit to the Hon. John Y. Mason, of Richmond, Virgiuia; and while there he was tendered the compliment ot a public dinner, which he declined. The following is his ietier in reply to the citizens Richmond, Feb. 12, 1852.

Gextlemex On my arrival in this city, last eve jiinv. I received your very kind letter welcoming me to the Metropolis of the Old Dominion aild tendering the honor of a public dinner. I i eg ret, deeply regret, that my visit to Richmond will necessarily be -so brief, I canno: enjoy the pieaore ana tne privilege of meetiog you all, at the festive board. Intending merely to pass a day with my valued friend Mason, my previous arrangements are of such a character that 1 must leave here to-morrow, or at -latest, on Saturday morning. But while I cannot accept the dinner, I shall ever esteem the invitation from so many of Virginia's tnosLdistingoished and estimable sons, as one ot the proudest honors of my life.

Your ancient and renowned Commonwealth has ever been the peculiar euardian of State rights and the firm supporter of eoottitutiooal liberty, of law and of oder. When, therefore, she endorses with her approbation any of -my poor efforts to serve the country, her commendation is a sure guarantee that these have been devoted to a righteous cause. You are pleased to refer in favorable terms to my recent conduct at home. In defence of the federal consuiiiUon and laws." This was an easy and agreeable Usk; because the people of Pennsylvania have tier been as loyal and faithful to the Constitution, the Union, and the rights of the sovereign States of which it is coaipoied, as the people of the ancient Dominion themselves. To have pursued a different oure in my naiive State would, therefore, have been to-fesist 4he strong current ot enlightened public opinion.

The most intense excitement prevails here on account of the discovery near the. Hcepathiq Medical CoJJege of several dead bodies.

This caused great excitement and, to satisfy the public mind, a committee of five citizens was ap pointed to go through the building and examine eve ry part. At dark the crowd increased largely, and hundreds, with lanterns, bludgeons, were. con- I gregated about the building. Every, door, the! first to the fourth, story, was burst in by the commit-, tee, the mob occupying the stairs, passages, awaiting their report. In the dissecting room, situated in the cock-tofi.

the' committee found the bodies of a man and woman partly dissected, and a dry goods box filled with feet, heads, trunks and other portions of bodies. One of the committee recognized the hands of his own daughter by' unmistakable marks. The crowd then went in and ransacked the rooms, casting their contents from the windows. A full length skeleton was'lasli- ed to a bacber's pole and carried about the streets. The building was twice fired, but extinguished by the authorities, lhe Light Artillery and several military companies have been called out and are on guard, as well as the civil authorities.

he mob has continued about the building during the whole day, and fears are entertained of a renewal of the attack to-night. The Sheriff has called on all good citizens to aid in quelling the riot.

Latest from the Susquehanna Ice Bridge firm, Hayee-dz-Grace, Feb. 16. The ice here has not been moved or even disturbed by the late freshet, so deeply is it imbedded in the depth ot the river. The crossing is in good order, apparently as firm as the earth, and among the passengers who passed over it to-day were a large number ot ladies.

Seventy-five more burthen cars were passed over the railroad laid on the ice to-day, which seems capable of bearing any amount of weight that could be placed upon it. Importinl jrom Chili Great Battle and Destruction of Life. Nfw York, Feb. 17. By the steamer Falcon we learn that the steamer Bolivia reached Panama on the 19lh ult from Chili.

The movement of the insurgents in Chili against the government had been entirely suppressed. A bloody battle had taken place between Gen Cruz and the government forces on the plains of Lorgu-milla. After two hours severe fighting the j-overn-ment'troops were entirely victorious, leaving 2.000 revolutionists wounded and many dead on the field.

i "1 Democratic Meeting. A MEETING of ihe Democrato of Granville Conn- 2Jty will be held at Oxford, on Tuesdey-tf March Tt.i. Wv. tl JJL.4 tt.l. JH Convention, and to transact other business of mpirt tance to the party.1 MANY DEMOCRATS.

to I tion of John' Black well Uraharrt Toll was called to the Chair; and oh motion of Alonzo Ti Jerkins, Richard N. Taylor was appoint ed -'-m. The Chairman stated the object of the meeting to I i i 'i i i. ue, to lase into consiaeranon a cnange oi me xiouiv and Eastern terminus of said Road, made at a recent meeting of the Directors whereupon, On motion of Dr. John R.

Justice, a committee of five pel sons, viz: Wm. H. Washington, John Black well, John Justice, Moses W. Jarvis.and Edward R. Stanley were appointed by the Chair to draft resolutions expressive Of the sense, of the meeting on the subject which had called them together, to be report ed to an "adjourned meeting on Friday at 3 o'clock, and on motion the chairman was added to the said committee.

On Friday the 6th of February, the meeting haV-ing assembled according to, adjournment, 'the Com-mit'ee through their Chairihan, Wm. H. Washing reported the following 1. Resolved, Thai we conceive it to have been clearly the object, and intention of the Legislature in granting the Charter for the North Carolina Kail Koad to connect the same with the Neuse. River as well as the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road to establish a great Slate work for the benefit of the people of the State ai targe and not to build up any particular town or towns, to give to- the larmers of the country a choice of market for their produeeand not to furnish a monopoly to any particular people or place.

And we cannot but regard any unnecessary, departure irom the provisions and intention of the said charter, by which a preference is shown to a particular section of the Stale and a la rare portion mereoi aeniea a partici pation in the benefits arising Irotn said imoiovement, as a violation ot the Charter; and an act of gross in justice and wrong nof only to the stockholders and people in this section ot the State, but to an persona who may have occasion to send their produce on said 2. Resolved. That we' had supposed the route of the said Road and the terminus thereof had been definitely settled not only by the provisions of the Char-ter itself, but also by actual survey and by a solemn vole of the Directory in full meeting assembled. 3. Resolved, That tre have heard therefore wun surprise and regtief, that at a recent meeting ot the Directory in which our views and interests were neither represented or regarded, a change was made in the route of said Road and in the Eastern terminus thereof, which we consider important in itself and tending to the manifest wrong and injury of this section of the State.

And though we have not seen the report of the Engineer on the subject, yet we are compelled to say that the reasons assigned for said change In a recent letter of the President of the Company, are wholly unsatisfactory. 4. Resolved. That while as members of a large tax-paying community, as good citizens of the State, anu (under all the circumstances) liberal subscribers to this great improvement, we are not only willing but sincerely desirous of doing all in our power for the accomplishment of so noble an enterprise in the true spirU of the Charter, and in good taith to all tne parties concerned, yet we are determined to employ all lawful means to resist a violation of that instru ment and to prevent gross infractions of our rights, and an utter ruin of our interests. On motion of Samuel VV.

Chad wick, sec onded by Einmelt outhbert, said resolutions were unanimously adopted. And on motion, it was Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and be pub- ished in the Newberman, with a request that other newspapers in the State wiil(copy, and also that a copy of the same be sent to each Director of the North Carolina Rail Road. r. On motion of Wm. Moore, the meeting adjourned.

J. GRAHAM TULL, Chm'n. Richard N. Taylor, Sec'i. The Pacific is in, after a long and boisterous passage, with several days later news from Europe.

She brings, however, no intelligence of great interest or importance for we cannot consider the panic which has been got up in England on the subject of a French invasion as of that character it being, so far as we can discover, wholly without foundation. The London Herald probably gives the true explanation of its origin when it attributes it to John Russell and the tottering whig ministry, as a ruse to distract the attention of Parliament and the nation from the predicament in which they have involved themselves 1 here certainly is no ostensible pretext for a war be tween the two nations. No threats or menaces have been thrown out by either party and the time has surely gone by when one civilized power will be permitted in make war upon another, open ly and avowedly for the purpose of conquest alone. VVe are certainly grievously disappointed in the char acter of the constitution which Louis Napoleon has given to trance. He has undoubtedly taxed en durance of the people who have trusted him to the utmost.

He may, and we fear he will, turn out to be a tyrant at home but' we have ho evidence that he aspires to the bloody laurels of foreign conquest, or that he has any disposition to desolate without pro vocation the peaceful domains of his neighbors with fire and sword. The confiscation of a portion of the property of the house of Orleans has created a great sensation, and brought down upon the President an amount of re proach which we are not altogether' certain is well deserved. It seems to have 'been for ages. a funds mental law of the realm that, upon the accession of any individual to the throne of France, -his private property became unalterably a part ot the public do main. This law was enforced in the case of Henry IV against his strenuous efforts.

At the first revolution, the royal domain was conn scaled and became the do a main ot the natron, so wnen ftapoieon was deposed. his private property, to the amount of several hundred millions, instead ot being permitted.to go to his family, was appropriated to the public use by the elder branch of the Bourbons. When they in their turn were driv en into exile? a similiar disposition was made of their immense resources by Louis Philippe, who at the same time endeavored to protect his own private- es- tare against a simular forfeiture, by transferring it to his children. It is the property thus transferred that has been confiscated by the decree of the President and when is considered that this measure is in accordance with established precedent that it still leaves the house of Orleans in possesssion of 100,000,000 of francs, and that the superfluous. wealth which is ab stracted from it is devoted to humane and benevolent purposes it would hardly seem to deserve -the name an outrage, after all.

One thing is certain, the resident himself is not benefited by it; and what more, in the decree pronouncing tne connscation. expressly renounces all his own claims upon lhe mmen8e estate ot tne Jinperor, nis uncie, wnicn shared the same Wasnmgton Unton. A Good Sign. The Board of Regents of the Uni versity of Michigan have removed, three professors the ground that they "not only publicly preached, but otherwise openly advocated, the doctrine called the Higher Law a doctrine which is unauthoriz by the Bible, at war with the principles, precepts and examples of Christ and His Apostles, subversive alike of Civil Government, Civil Society, and the legal rights of individual citizens and, in effect, constitutes, in the opinion of this Board, a species moral, treason againstj the Government.
