9 it " .--eC CITY OF RALEIGH, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 1851. NO. 26. VOLUME LV OTJX WASHINGTON CORRESPOSBENCE. WiaHiKGTov, April 11, 1854. The Oad1on treaty, instead of being rejec ted entirely by the Senate, which its opponents have the power to do, will probably bo amend i ed so as to give' Mexico seven or eight, millions of dollars, instead of fifteen for th Mesilla valley territory; enough for the purposes of a railroad, should ne. ever be constructed to j i.he Pacific, and for release from all claims 1 for damages on account of Indian depredations, i under the llth article of the treaty of Guada ! loupe Hidalgo. Ah to the Oaray claim, that is discarded al ! together, not only as groundless, but as jsome ! thTng worse. It is intimated that If the facts which have come out in the Senate, in regard i to this claim, could be exhibited to the public, ! they would throw Gardnerism wholly in the I shade. The treaty will probably be finally I disposed of to-morrow or next day. 'riw. Vhraska Question is still the never n I dine theme of daily, speeches in he Uoose it i beinz the narent of from two to three every day jpro and con ; and so it will -continue to be, 'though the subject is already worn thread-bare, 1 so lonx as it continues to agitate the public mind. I think, however, that there is not ho I great a degree of feeling on the subject among members as there has been. Both northern 'and southern gentlemen are cooling down some iwhat in regard to it, and I meet with many of ithe latter now who not only express entire in difference as to the fate of the bill, but with tiot a few who even say that they think it an 'ill-advised measure. On the other hand, many 'from the' north now admit that its passage would be productive of no harm to them, aad, setting aside the evil of the precedent of dis turbing a long settled compromise, they have little or no objection to it. i I confess I am glad to see this softening down pf that acerbity of feeling which existed here a few weeks ago, and to observe a more genial and fraternal disposition and , leaning towards each other by gentlemen from the two sections of our country, tiaa noi mis question oeeu unexpectedly unexpectedly to all, parties brought forward, I cannot imagine any thing that would have produced the least unkind feel - log between the two sections of the country; and it is most devoutly to be hoped that it will le the last time that sectional strife shall be jitirred up to alienate, even for a moment, one portion of our country from the other. Unfor tunately, there are too many demagogues in both, who find they can make more political capital for themselves by exciting the people -f the two sections against each other, misrep resenting the one to the other, and fostering their nreiudices, than they can by endeavoring ti allay sectional feeling and b.y combatting Mich prejudices: as pettifogers find it more profitable to excite quarrels amang neighbors than to prevent them. The consequence is that both the north and the south have their agita tes, and unfortunately these have their willing audience and followers, who readily swallow n,nd believe all that is told them, and thus be come embittered towards those for whom they would entertain the most friendly regard did they but know them. It baa been WHU no nine Huronae mm regret , that we have , heard that Mr. Everett has laid j claim to the paternity of Mr. Webster's cele brated Hulseman letter ; not that he might not have written it, but, if he did, that he should make the fact public. The letter was never entirely approved by some very distinguished gentlemen who were here at the time Mr. Clay, for instance. They deemed it unneces sarily harsh and wanting in that courtesy of style which should ever characterise our diplo matic correspondence. It was said to have been Mr. Everett's intention to publish his draft of the letter witlj the emendations of Mr. Vebster; but it is added now, that he has been dissuaded from so doing by friends in Bos ton. His "second, sober thought,'' was a wise one. There is something curious about this letter. In the first place, Mr. Webster said that he Mm nosed it while breathing the pure, invigor ating air of the mountains of New Hampshire; and now. Mr. Everett, his friend, claims its pa ternity. In the next place, a friend of mine states that he heard a rough draft or general outline of the letter read by one who had pre pared it in the State Department some time be fore vhe letter itself appeared. Again, Mr. Hulseman states in his despatch to Mr. Web stir, to which this letter is a reply, that he did not receive the instructions from his govern ment in time to enable him to make the des patch to his, Mr. Webster's, predecessor. Now, si.; far from this, he did receiye those instruc tions some months before Mr. Webster's prede-' of office, read them to him, CUR NEWJ3T0RX CORRESPONDENCE. i New York, Apr'.l 11, 1854. Trinity .ChmcJi in New York-Preliminary Op e-rations of' the Ml'intic and Pacific Rail Rtad Company Oysters for California Sale of Turkish Moustaches. " In my .last letter I presented some details re lative to Columbia College in this city, and stated that its city property was derived from a grant originally from the corporation of Trinity Church. As the subjects are somewhat asso elated together, I now proceed to' mention a few facts in respect to Trinity Church itself.--r This is, without doubt, the wealthiest corpora tion iii this country, and if it should ever be deprived of its possessions, the spoliations would fall heavily upon Columbia College, pro vided the title by which it holds should be in validated. ,At. all events, supposing this to re main intact, there is a provision in the old charter limiting the annual income to five thousand dollars. The King's Farm to which the Chureh fell, heir, extended, as observed in the. previous let ter, fronv Fulton street to Carmine street, and between Broadway and the North River, cov ering a hnndrad or more acres, in what is now the most populous portion of the city. As the tlhinelander family hold the greater part of die Columbia College, under an interminable lease, so do the Astor family hold a very large part of Trinity Church property. The origi nal title may be considered valid enough but it is by an unquestionable collusion that ihe Church manages to retain an enormous estate, worth millions, but which, by the logic of fig ures, is made to yield annual ineome, accord ing to the terms of the charter, of an amount within five thousand dollars. It was agreat relief to the trustees of Trini ity Church when Aaron Burr departed this life. He had a thorough knowledge of the whole matter, and had made it his study, and, when clients were scarce, and shots in the gol den loeker few, Burr invariably fell back upon the t'hurch, not for spiritual comfort, but for carnal relief. His, clamors were easily appea sed, and righteous indignation nullified. It has been many years now since any efforts were made to disturb the Church, and to dispossess it of its rich inheritence. The condition of the charter is nominally complied with, by always keeping tle establishment in debt, by which means its revenue may at any time be reduced to a fraction. Bonds of the Church are issued, covering all its resources, and are in demand for long and safe investments. During the" late session of the Legislature of this State, a resolution was offered, calling upon the Church for a statement of its posses sions, the number of lots it owns, and the amount of rent and liabilities. From this, it appears that the number of its city lot is 406, besides many large pieces of property not spe cified. The ground, for instance, appropriated for a cemetery on the North River, 8 or 9 miles from the city, and which has been little used, as it can never remain permanent, ia very val uable. The city property already mentioned, if clear of lease and property improved, would yield an annual income of a million. In re- PARIS GOSSIP THE FASHIONS. Correspondence New York Express. Paris.

The recent fine weather has revived every one, and the streets and drives are crowded with promenaders, after mid day.

The long leases of the Church and College property are a serious hindrance to improvements in the lower part of the city, and mdirectlv hasten the up town movement. It has never Been aiiegea inai good use is not made of the revenues of the Church, and, ample as -they are, the de mands more than equal tbem. The trastees are men of high standing and character, and as the berth is a good one, good men can al ways be found to fill it. As the greater part ef the population here are slaves to landlords, it makes no difference whether the Church is pro prietor or not. It would be well if the Church were to set the example of moderation and charity, and not to grind the faces of tenants as sharply as other landlords do. The directors of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail Road Company are endeavoring to raise funds to enable them to commence operations. The starting point is to be at Shreveport on the Red River, and from there to the vicinity of Marshall in Texas, where Rail Roads from Louisiana. Tennessee, and Arkansas terminate. Established routes to the West will be used as far as they go, and the Central Road of North Carolina will be completed in time 'to take its hare of the travel on the great line to the Pa cific. As it will be one of the most direct, a large i mount of patronage may be expected. The legislature of Texas granted to the Pacific Rail Road Company lands to the amount of four or five millions upon condition that the sum of $300,000 cash should be paid into the treasury of the State, and fifty miles of Rail Road be comoleted within its limits. This last condition would have been sufficient without the GREAT MATCH RACE SHORTEST TIME ON RECORD. New Orleans, April 8. Lecompte, the cel ebrated Louisana horse, to-day won the fonr mile race, time 7 minutes 26 seconds, beating Lexinjrton, winner of the great race some days atro. This is the shortest time on record.

Edward Everett was the author of the celebrated Hulseman letter creates no excitement in this city whatever; nei ther has the disclosure of the fact caused any ill-feeling between the friends of the late Mr. Webster and Senator Everett. The original draft of the letter was returned to U r. Everett more ; than a year ago, by Mr. Webster's litera ry executors, and a printed copy taken, which, with the original, will be preserved among Mr. Everett's papers. He does not contemplate any publication. Mr. Everett's recent visit to Boston had nothing to do with the matter. He came simply to visit his wife, who, for some time past, has been in very delicate health. CONGRESS I Thfi Senate on Tuesday, after disposing of the usual morning business, yielded to a re quest of M-. Badger to defer the consideraiion of Executive business that the bill aUowing a credit for duties on railroad iron might be ; considered : and this bill having been taken up, it led; to a discussion which occupied the remainder of the sitting. Its further consider ation was then postponed to the 24th in-itant. In the House of Representatives, Mr. ken- nett's bill; granting lands equally to the seve ral States, came up for consideration ; and, af ter an ineffectual motion to lay it upon the ta ble, it was postponed far two weeks. 1 he House resumed, in Committee or the Whole, the consideration of the Civil and Dip-; loraatic Appropriation bill, but. made no pro gress thereon. Mr. Cullum.of Tennessee, spoke . an hour on the Nebraska. bill, considering it in 'the aspect of an attempted repudiation of the 1 obligations of some of the most distinguished ; then of the country, and denying that the peo ple of the South had asked for the mpasure from their own representatives, or desired it at the hands of a Northern champion.

I The members of the Greek Church in Turkey are as free to worship God after their own man ner as the Catholics are here. The Greek Pat riarch, who resides in Constantinople, is the head of1 this Church in Turkey, and is entirely un restrained by the Turkish government. Bnt Nicholas claims that he ought to be the head of this Church in Turkey as well as in his own Empire ; and has made every effort to become boL To this, however, the Turkish government will not listen, and she is right, as the Church, in that case, would become a mere political machine in the bands of Nicholas, with which to create disturbances and embarrassments in the Sultan's dominions. ' I understand that a speech will soon be made upon this Eastern question in the Senate," by a Senator competent to enlighten the public upon a topic so little understood in this country. 1 OBSERVER. The following suggestion we take from the N. Y. Herald : A Sick Man. The Emperor Nicholas in his familiar conversations with the British Minis ter at St. Petersburg aptly describes the Em- rveror of Turkev as a sick man on his dying bed, and thinks it is wise to arrange the division of his estates among heirs, while he is yet alive, so as to prevent the fearful squabble which must otherwise ensue after his death. So with President Pierce at this time. He, too, is a sick man, and the sooner the democracy arrange the distribution of his political effects the better. The Emperor Nicholas is a long-beaaea politi cian. Let the democracy reflect upon his ad vice, and act accordingly. Abolitionism Defined.
