Weiring s inappropriate in t newspaper ar ticle any Extended observations upon this book, lately issued, we may be permitted to notice one or two passages which strike us as most remark able. Upon page 130, occurs tho following argu ment : " It remains to be shown over wnonit,(ihe Constitution of the United States) was ordained and e8tabished. That it was not orer the teveral States, is! settled by the seventh ankle beyond controversy. It declares that ihe ratification by nine States should be sufficient to establish the constitution between the Statea so ratifying.

He then proceeds to assert that the constiiution was established "over the government which it created." j The same logic recurs upon page 276.

Cass, was well calculated to promote the object which the friends of the exiles have in view. Considering that Mr. Shields in himself an Irish man, the positions he takes up in this matter, and the tone in which he maintains tbem, are credit able to his liberality and good sense; though it may be doubted, whether Irishmen generally wil! concur with mm in jits abandonment of all hope of rmh nationality. He appears to regard America as the future homt as it is the present refuge of the Celtic race; and partravs ihe relationship of this country with England as properly one of enduring amity. Couched in such a spirit as air. Shields evinces, and sustained by such arguments, the appeals which may proceed from this aide of the Atlantic, in behalf of O'Brien and his com- rnnions, cannot Inil to produce a beneficial impref aion on the people and government ot England. We refer our readers, in this connexion, to the following eatract from a letter from President Fillmore, in relation to this subject, by which it will be seen, ibat steps have already been Uken to lqrthet tha application for the release of the prisoners. The letter is in reply to W. H. Rom eign, ot Kingston, N. Y., who had addressed a memorial 10 hint in behalf of the Jrjsh exiles : "Altiioui'h the parlv and Inner otllprl nr.tiv nf ik:. n " . 6 r... j . .

We have displayed here every appearance ef sincere and deliberate belief in this argument. Mr. Calhoun lays heavy weight upon the support and must consequently rely upon its strength. After considerable interval he repeats the reason ing with undiminished confidence, nay, rather with increased, lor whereas, at first, he only op poses o itceen and over, afterwards he adds a con irast oi for and over. We must also carefully bear in mind, particularly because upon a close consideration of these paragraphs, we would be apt to forget, lhat they were written by a man of first rate ability, in support of a favorite doctrine to ihe study oi. which he had given a long life and as the crowning labor in behalf of which the work id : which they occur is intended. Let us add that he wus aware that the arguments would be keenly criticised, and would be committed to the unfriendly scan of a reading community, nine tenths of which is hostile to the prominent ideas desired lo be enforced and to prevail. Having thought upon all this, and then taken another look at the sentences above, what words shall be sufficient to express our amazement ? Shall even Mr. Calhoun's great name defend this offspring of his intellect from being characterised as absurd to the extent of provoking as its only suitable re ply, a peal of laughter? Seriously, however, if we may be serious, is mere any grammar or dic tionary which will bear out Mr. Calhoun in this criticism ? This I ndenture, made, &,c, between A. B. of the first part, and C. D. of the second part ;'' (to lake a plain and analogous case ;) will any body, who has ever seen a Court-house, say VM tu tofcmnt itwrma contalocu )i nuC over A. B as fully as any obligation of the sort, even one containing oier, could be ? Is it ground for a new trial, for a iuhii who has been hung, (excuse the bull,) that the sheriff, who was ordered to suspend him between the heaven and the earth, transcended the order so far as to place him over the latter. Between, it may be argued, excludes under as well as oer; hence, it is untrue that there are any numbers between one and one hundred, because, say, fifty is under one hundred, and therefore not between, and twenty is orer one, and for the same reason cannot be b tween it and any thing else whatever. Q. E. D. How any man of ordinary sanity, much more how one who had the reputa tion with friend and foe of being blessed with transcendent intellect ua! powers, and who, if he were not a great mind, was nndiing, could gravely presen t such an argument to the observation of an intelligent community, must be classed as a metaphysical mystery. Indeed, it would seem that those who are conversant with the loftiest heights of reason are not less liable to error than the common mortals who never forsake the sale levels of rolid ground with this difference, that that which with us it simple folly, in them becomes the sublime ofabsurdity. If tee mistake the shadow for the substance, it is upon some ephemeral mat (er: but the clouds which they embrace never present themselves under an aspect less august, than that of ibe Queen of the Gods. So il is then that Mr. Calhoun is found, upon the basis of an argument which would excite a smile had it come from a logician of eight years old nt a free school exhibition, resting a power which is to overthrow the convictions entertained by a long line of illus trious statesmen, and by them diffused through an educated community of twenty millions; a power which, in the opinion of its illustrious author, is the sole support of American Liberty, and a fail ure to recognize which is pregnant with disaster. Upon such a cloud what monsters might not be begotten ! To be continued citizen of the country may contemplate with grat- . Guilford, declaring the Plaintiff entitled to an ac ification and pride.

By such means tKe area of the United States has been extended, du ring the past ten years, from 2 055,163 to 3.221,595 square miles, without including the great lakes which lie upon our northern border, or the bays which indent our Atlantic and Pacific shores. Owing .MMietays and difficulties, which no ac tion on the part oi the office could obviate, some of the returns fmm California have not yet been reeetved. Assuming the population of California to be 165.000, and ouikiing that of Utah, estima ted at 12,000, lh total number of inhabitants in the United States was, on the 1st of June, 1850, 23,246.301. The absolute increase from the 1st of June, 1840, has been 6,176,T148, and the actual increase per cent, is 36.18. But the probable a mount ot population acquired by additions of ter ritory should be deducted in making a comparison between the results of tha present and the lata census. These reductions diminish the totalpopu lation of ihe country, as a basis of comparison, to 23,074,301, and the increase to 6,004,843. The relative increase, after this allowance, is found to be 35.17 per cent. The aggregate number of whites in 1850 was 19,619,366, exhibiting again upon ihe number of the same cUss in 1840 ot 5,423,271, and a relative increase of 38.20 per cent. But excluding the 153,000 free population supposed to have been acquired by the addition of territory since 184'), the gain is 5,270,371, and the increase per cent, is 87.14. The number of slaves, by the present census, is 3,193.298, which shows an increase of 711,085, equal to 28Ji8 per cent. If we deduct $9,000 for the probable slave population of Texas in 1840, the result of the comparison ill be slightly differ ent The absolute increase wul be oyj.uyo, auu the rate per cent. 27.83. The number of free colored in 1850, was 428,- 1337: in 1840. 386.245. The increase of this class has been 42,392, or 10.95 per cent. The statistics ot mortality for the censas year, represent the number of deatha occunng within the year ending June 1. 1850, as 320,194, the ratio being as one to 72.6 of the living population, r as ten to each 726 of the population. The rate of mortality in this statement, taken as a whole, seems so much iess than that of any portion of Europe, that it must, at present, be received with some degree of allowance.

"The manuscript having been laid aside, Mr. Clat proceeded to a more minute examination of the Medal, at which he had. previous to reply ing, cursorily glanced. It is of pure California gold, massive and weighty, and is enclosed in a silver case, which opens with a hinge in the man ner of a hunting watch. On the face of the me. dal is a fine head of Mr Clat, most felicitous in the likeness, and conveying the characteristic im pression of his features in a higher degree than any of the busts or medallions Usually seen. The relief is very high, and must have required a pres sure of immense power to give it its fulness, sharpnexs, and delicacy of outline.; The reverse exhibits the following inscription : I Sehate,- ' 1806. .

The resolution of sympathy for the exiled Irish patriots was taken up, when Mr. Shields addressed the Senate in Ua support; and, in course of his remarks, he said thai the ruin of Ireland would involve the ruin of the whole British empire, if not arrested. English States men are now trembling on this account. He sug gested, as a remedy for the present evils in Erin, first: Full, perfect, equal religious liberty. She will never be satisfied until she obtains this; the withholding of which is most dangerous in peril ous times, a uch as exist in Ireland; and the gran ting of it would be tne roost harmless thing in the wotld, as is evidenced in the United States. If the British government desires to put an end to the agitation which now prevails on this subject, let it grant this right. This is understood and ap predated by ihe great Engluh statesmen.

Her nationality is trone. and pnvi eged to be present on the occasion were in vited to be seated, Mr. Daniel Ullmanr, Chair man ot tne committee, rose and delivered a Presentation Address. Mr. Clat received the address standing, with the deepest attention, and then proceeded to ob serve that, although il had been his habit, in addres sing public bodies, larger or smaller, to speak ex temporaneously, he had been induced, on this oc casion, as well out of profound respect to the Committee, as in regard to his feeble state of health, to depart from his ordinary practice and reduce his reply to writing. He then read, in a firm though somewhat feeble voice, the following reply : Getllmen LETfER FROM PROF. EMMONS.

Reid: Sir:- I have executed the preliminary exam ination of the Chatham coal field, which your Excellency proposed when I visited rlaleigh. Ihe results ot this examination are highly satis factory. I began it kt Fanuersville, tne most easterly point where coal had been discovered and have been able to trace it in its outcrop seven teen or eighteen miles. Alonsr this outcrop, it rises to the surface at nearly an uniform dip and This is among the most interes- I strike, pursuing nearly- a direct line from point to ting and gratifying days of my life, although I J point, and maintaining withal, through the whole have been confined to these rooms lor a Ions time I distance, an average imcaness ot at least six ana bv a tedious and doubtful illness.

Another three foot bed lies thirteen feet buea h, with bituminous slate inter veniog. The thickness of the main bed is alt that can be wished, inasrouch as it is more profitable than one ot nine or tea feet. iLlXi A.ttMi cat, h sk question, ttntn, mm th Office of Adjutant General, here, the representatives of a large and enlighten ed body ol ardent and devoted friends of mine in the citv of New York, to present to me a beauti ful and costly gold medal, intended to commemo rate my public hie.

The length of ibe. outcrop and the thickness ibe res ume and the place of presentation, and the friends pecuve beds, the important question is, wd these who have contributed this splendid testimonial, beds thin out and become lost ia the shales, or give to it sn inestimable value. The time is when I will they preserve their present average thickness? 1 am about to retire forever from public life, and Ibis question, though it cannot be decided post when 1 cani.ot expect much longer to linger here lively, stilt if we may place confidence in geologi- below: tho place is the city of Washington, the cal principle, we may Itel a great deal of assu never can b restored;; and if it could be. ii would bo in a permanently damaged condition. Therefore, her policy Ms, not only to continue member of the empire, but avail herself of tne political, commercial, and intellectual power wiuiiii her reach, to co-operate with the raosi l:b eral and generous of i the Engish parties, and throw her whole weight with that party; and thus by raising herself to raise and liberalize the whole empire. Why: ahoutd not I his be done? Are not Englishmen and Irishmen fellow-sub- jeCts, and have they not fought side by side ou I tousand . battle beldsf England, he said, had lately sacrificed Pal mers ton to the Austrian Ministry, apologized to hussia, and taken Louts IMapuleoc by the hand, and considers him a friend. This waa not the position for England io occupy among nations. nere is a mixed uovernmenu uespots nave no more love for it than- they have for that of the United States oi America. He beloved in his soul that the Emperor of Russia would to mor row rather take a pure democracy than a mix ed Government. Russia says that "with a de mocratic Government we ran get along very well, but a mixed Government is nothiog: when liberalism is in the ascendent, then she ia liberal; wben absoluteism is popular then she is absolu list." If Englishmen and Irishmen should unite, England would become the arbiter of nations in the world. In the conclusion of the speech (which was listened to by crowded galleries) the Honorable Senator said that he believed that on the very day the British Government should be notified of the passage of the pending resolution introduced by nimselt she would send on ships to Van Diemau's Land, and bring away the Irish exiles; not necessarily restore, them to Ireland, bat to permit them to come to this Und of liberty, to mingle with the great mass of our countrymen, among- whom are so many of Irish birth and descent. Irish emigrants are true and faithful to his country, and he had seen Amer icans and Irishmen aght on the same field and die ihe same death. : The resolution, he persua. ded himself, could hot be objected to, and there fore he hoped that ihe Senate would adopt it. aV.jSewrl rose to spar ttpoir t&S"siibjeci, wnen, on motion, tne Senate adjourned.

I should have been more happy to have expressed my great obligations to all of them personally, if il had been in my power. 1 shall soon pass lrom the jurisdiction of my contemporaries and of the present generation to that of history and posterity, if the one shall deem me worthy of any record on its pages, or tradition shall transmit any recollection ot me to the other. It is not within my legitimate province to ex press any opinion on my own public career or public deeds. That office belongs to them, and I shall consider my future fame fortunate if it snail be regarded by them wnh a small portion of the favor with which the partiality of yourselves and your associates now coatempla e it. 1 shall soon appear before a higher and more holy tribunal 'hau any earthly one, which can unerringly judge of the motives as well as tbe acts ot man. To that tribunal I look forward wiib composure and confidence that I shall be acquit ted of having ever been prompted, in the discharge of my public duties, by any mean or sordid or sel fish ends, or been auiuiated by one other purpose than to pr mole ihe honor, the prosperity, and glory of our common couutry. Medals are generally struck by the authority and paid lor out of public Treasury of Government, aud most IVequently are intended to reward and signalize the triumphs achieved in war. But mat which you now so kiudly lender to my acceptance is the spontaneous offering of private citizens, from their private purses, for public services ex clusively in the civil department. 1 shall fondly and gra efully cherish and preserve it whilst me endures, and irausrp.it it to my descendants under the hope tbatihey wijl receive and carefully guard it, with emotipns of live y gratitude to my fjew York friends, as the proudest and 'riches; legacy that 1 cftould' leave them. During the delivery of this beautiful and appro priate reply, says the Intelligencer, the most per fect silence pervaded the chajaberj eyery eye was fixed on the tall and commanding form so long known to the public, but respect and admiration were mingled wh a tender regret on witnessing little reason to fear its early failure. It is proper for me to observe, in this connexion, that 1 do not regard this coal-field as extensive as many others in th's country. The Appalachian, the lllinoi and Michigan coaLfielJs are much longer and Wider the former being nearly 900 miles long and from 150 to 200 broad. The quality of the coal ot Chatham is excel lent. It is adapted to parlor use, but particularly to the manulaciure ol gas for lighting houses and streets; and also for coke, which may be employed in the manufacture of the best kinds of bar iron. I see no reason why it may riot supersede the for eign bituminous coals. It is remarkably free from the sulpburet of iron. This mineral, however, is disseminated through the black sh-les an impor tant fact to be borne in mind when large quamii tea are to be sent to market, for if this shale is mixed with the coal in considerable quantities, it may produce spontaneous combustion. !
