It i very apparent from the tenor of i' a Ai icncrr'a Jssl remarks that the suppr :1 Tact that the Clay Club had paid the expenses ( f Messrs.

Bear and Mosely, br to disburse their funds in any other way, who shall question theif right? : The boiler jf a ixrcomotive on the Petersburg and Roanoke Rail Roadjattachecl to strain of burthen cars, burst a few days ago, rid Itilled the engineer, named Smith, a very worthy man, and also a negro fireman. The body of the engi neer was literally torn .into fragments. The en gine was demolished.

The Pennsylvania Legislature has passed re solutions, unanimously in the House,- and with but one dissenting vote in the .Senate, instructing lhe Senators of the Slate in Congress, and ' re questing tha Representatives to oppose any change in the present Tariff, which might prove injurious to the manufacturing and, agricultural interests of that Commonwealth ; ta resist any reduction in the present duties on iron, coal, and wool and to omit no effort to sustain all the great interests of the nation, calculated to foster and promote American industry, r -i-t -- This move on the part of the Pennsylvania Legislature will, il is likely, have an important influence against the new Tariff bill. '." " The "Annexation" Preject, , ;!-, " Nothing more definite has come to light in re gard to the Treaty wTich it is said the President is having negotiated for the annexation of Texas in the United Slates. - The subject is exciting an intense interest all over the country, and so far. seems to be uncontrolled by'party considerations. The Charleston Patriot ably discusses the mat ter of National Faith involved in the question of Annexation We quote a portion of the argu ment. k When Die . proposition tor annexation . was made in 1837, just after the accession of Mr. Van Buren to the Presidency, Mr. Forsyth then Secretary of State, in reply to the application of lien. Memuean Hunt, the iexian Minister Plen ipotentiary, on this subject, used the following language: " So long as Texas shall remaiq at war, while the United Slates are at peace with her adversary, the proposition of the Texian Minister Plenipo- tonuary necessarily involves me question oi war wiurthat adversary. The Untied btale$ are bound to Mexico by a treaty of amity and com merce, which will be tcrupuloualy observed on their part so long as it can be reasonably hoped that Mexico will perform her duties ami respect our rights under it. The United 8ito might justly be suspected of a disregard of the friendly purposes ot the compact it the overture of Uenerat Hunt were to be even reserved for future consid eration, as this would imply a disposition on our part to espouse the quarrel of J exas with Mexico -a dupoiition wholly at variance with the ipirit of the treaty, mm the uniform policy and the obvious Welfare of the United States." , - This is unequivocal language. No change of views as to policv or expediency can reverse this strong and emphatic declaration, We will be held to its observance, not merely by Mexico, but by general sentiment in every portion, of the civilized world." So long as Texas remains in hostility with Mexico we are bound by our Own solem affirmsnce of our obligations. Even amid revolutionary changes, treaty engagements are deemed binding on the parlies to these changes and their successors, Hdw much less would a change of circumstances, since' our official decla-v ration appeared, if such change has occurred, jus tify a departure from our treaty obligations, can be easily determined. "'..'" r Under these circumstances, unless ' we can show that Mexico is no longer, entitled to the benefit of any treaty arrangements we have mnda with her, this question must be decided according to the principles of public faith or the , rules of national honour. When this impediment is. removed, then the admission of Texas will be a question to be determined on views of expediency anu coiisuuiuonaiiiv, oui noi oeiore. , 1 CampbeWe Foreign Semi-monlhty Magazine. of March 10th, came timelv to hand.

';.r . 7'": According to &e prcixiions of some awhile ago, and the present croakings of others,' the Tariff .of 1S1J must inevitably result in materi ally curtailing the importations from abroad, and consequently io bankrupting the Treasury." " The article below from a Nsw York paper will show how such feairs, if they were really entertained, have not been realized, and that they are not likely to be. . We fancy the argument will now be that the Tariff brings in too much revenueand. that the dangers of a redundant Treasury are to be apprehended. The Tariff and the. Revenue. The receipts of Revenue from Customs at New York since the 1st of January last have been as follows: In 1141., 1 1.878.615 2,109.110 'fi83,678 ' In 1843. January v - ' February1' v March, to 16th $548,053 492,216 Total 2i months ' $5,029,401 - - ' , . "Tlii som will undoubtedly be swelled to at least Five and a half Millions of Dollars for this single port at thtfelose of the quarter, two weeks hence; and, as the collections at all tho oilier ports cannot fall far beneath the amount realized j here, the total Revenue of the United States from Customs only cannot Tall below Ten JVliIlions for lhe current 'quarter, or at" the "rate of Forty Millions per annum. But we do not suppose the receipts will be as heavy throughout as in" the first quarter of the year. They will probably (if the Tariff is let alone) range from Thirty-Two lo Thirty-Five Millions, defraying all the current Expenditures of the Government, and affording Ten to. Fifteen Millions surplus to be employed in redeeming the remaining Treasury Notes and about half paying off the National Debt.

As the dis tinguished statesmen "of the West will ; be the euest of Our City shortly, it is to be honed that all party prejudices will, on that occasion, at least, bs sacrificed on the" altar of hospitality; Mr. Clay, whatever be his political position or opin ions, is the property . of the country, and has claims to its : attention and respect, in whatever section of our confederacy, or among" whatever parties or classes, of men he appears as the guest or visitor.

" On, Sunday week, the' civil officers of this place received an anonymous letter, threatening them with the same fate, unless they should im mediately resign; and they have consequently closed their oihee, and taken down .the national Hair. The same has been done by several other oi ma luuincifdiiueB. , The cause of these disturbances ia briefly this: By the new Constitution the - power of the military is greatly abridged, and that of the civil authorities proportionably increased; hence the constitution is unpopular, with the army; which alone has any power. It is taking, matters into its own hands, and the President, it is Said," ie cretly favours the design. : Man v citizens here appear to think it a mistake to have effected revolution the chief purpose , of which was to reduce tne army, and men to elect tne most suc cessful soldier fresulent.

'liberty of sending you a few brief extracts from a letter just re- ' oeived fiom a friend, - whose good fortune and pleasure it was to travel in company With lhr Judge on his last trip 'to Raleigh." My? friend whose acquaintance with the Judge had been limited, found him a most agreeable,: easy, ingen nous and communicative companion.; ' . 7 f '; During the trip various topics of conversation were introduced, in which, he took part, much tc lhe satisfaction of the compnnys but st no timer did he engage in remark with so much Interest and feeling, as he did when religion becsme the topic, of discussion, t. It wai then he seemed most at home; dwelling with peculiar , emphasis upon -that creaf doctrine ol the Bible,' justification bu faith in Christ. : At one time while expatiating-! upon that gramr point ol Uhnsuan J neology, lhe' emotion whiqh he "exhibited showed Jhnt his; heart was roused to a high pitch of interest; and' my friend remarks, "his olnn began to quiver,, and the big tears of grateful joy burst from his eye1 and trickled down his furrowed cheeks." "His ' feelings," says he, "seemed too big for, utter-! ance, and burying his face In his' handkerchief, , he sat and wept in silence for soma time."!. . He seemed well acquainted with the spiritual and temporal economy of other Chnrches beside his own, and his ingenuous allusions showed that ha was no bigot. ' , , '- , Atanother time he remarked, -that he had left home -with sn unusual ', dogrea -of rrelutitancaf. "But,'' Said he, "I must be al my post, It would not do for me now, 'after having been punctual so long in the discharge of my official duties to be remiss.".. He observed, that he supposed his, strong disinclination to leave borne waa' to be ascribed to the fact that he was getting old,' and that as he grew older, home seemed to have more charms for him. Hisiconversation at times strong ly indicated that he felt that his days would soon be-' numbered. ' Once he seemed almost to predict . his eneedv exit t when, as mv corresDondcnti 'stales, he observed, that he had no desire to ll ve his days over: again; that ho regarded the successive years of his7existcnce, ss- so many steps in the pilgrimage pf life, and that it was -a pleasing reflection to him that he was ea-ntat.-lhe end of his journey." ;w ,--,'t ' Such were the thoughts which occupied the' mind of the lamented Gaston, but a brief s'pace before his departure and such sentiments he Wasn pot ashamed to exp ress even in a stage-coach When; upstarj frefc-thlnkers ' and half-grown fidels would ;on such Occasions essay to, turn ft ligitln into ridicule, and make sport of death and ;7 eternity, jet them remember (hat the lionorable the intellectual, the 7virtuous ' Wat-GUaTpiri-scorned not to trust, in a crucified, but .riseo jev siiii and publicly to profess faith injils atonement and a hope of jmmorlslity and eternal life. - i? f it not god that gftKert'A wruer yrt r tne m X flit nouna stales, nis. oeliet mat seven eights of all the ornaments i Worn in that city ar of copper, though paid for. as ' oWr . .The fnuaj is effected by meane of th e lately discovered pro-7 cess oi galvanizing, oy wnicn copper i v , i ' assume tne appearance ol the finest goiu, wiH scacely one-hiindredth part of the gold formerly worked up.
