A meeting of the Whigs took place -to Bruns wick on Monday evcolnp, March. 6, and rcpooded to the nomination of CkB XtecKar. ' Mr. Datib took occasion to retara btsjtbanks for the honor don bfm hy hi brother Whig of Brunswick, and other Counties, Jttheir warm aapport of almself for the Gubernatorial Domina tion. " He read and comment ed In terms of approval npon tbe resolutions of tbe Whig Convention, pronounced a warm and ear nest euloginm npon the Whig candidate, urging the tried and true Whlgt of Brunswick, o prove themselves in the approaching contest worthy of themselves and tbeir ancient renown. We see a resolution was passed rcquesling the insertion of the proceedings of this meeting in The Commercial bat aa they were not handed in to this office, it was not, of course, deemed of ira jrtance, and we consequently omit them, ex cepting the notice above. OUR MINISTERS ABROAD. The following remarks relative to the Amer ican Representatives at Paris, are very severe, but we cannot say tbey are undeserved. The fact is, such is the. despotism of party, that we may never expect that the public honor and in terest will be paramount considerations in the ap pointment to office, either at home or abroad. The question is not "Is he honest, is he capable? But "How does he wear the collar V . the fact is noto rious that Mr. Mason is entirely ignorant of French, and therefore aa helpless as a child in the busi ness assigned him at his post. The same thing is equaliy true of our Consul at Paris be, too, Is a dummy : but to make room for him President Pierce removed a man whose qualifications were of the first order, and whose house was the resort of French statesmen and men of business, who ob tained from him the most important information rsspecting the Cnited States. Now, unfortunate ly, owing to he wbdom of the blessed adminis tration that rules over us, this great republic has nothing but a "deaf and dumb legation" at the French capital, and if M. Guizot or M. Thiers wish to know anything more of American institu tions they mustlnquire of any body but the Amer ican functionaries. Events are impending in Eu rope of greater importance and. involving conse. qitcnccs to ourselves more momentous than any thing that has taken place for nearly forty years yet our two most important public agents at the centre of intelligence m Europe are no better than two logs of wood men without ears to hear or a tongue to speak ! All this is most humiliating to the American people and deeply disgraceful to the authorities who, to serve the miserable purpo ses of party, have thns filled 'important stations with men as incapable of discharging their duties as if they were born idiots. Charles the Twelfth of Sweden, when absent from home, once sent or threatened to send one of his old boots to Stockholm to act as his Viceroy. Now it does appear to us that even an old boot that has been worn by a man of talent is a more respectable rep resentative of power and dignity than an ambas sador with only an apology for a head upon Lis t-houlders. It is a mortifying fact that the paltri est state in Europe is better represented at Pari than the United States of America. What sort of respect can foreigners entertain for us when they see our government displaying a more gross and flagrant neglect of its duty than any one of those corrupt institutions the monarchies of the old world r THE GARDINER FRAUD. We are indebted to the Administration of Mr. Imllmore for the exposition of tbe monstrous Gardiner Frand. The New York Herald, though opposed to Mr. Fillmore's administration, made the following remarks: "Unfortunately, in the meantime Mr. Curtis had broadly hinted tbe Gardiner fraud to President Fillmore, and from that moment an investigation was inevitable. Mr. "Fillmore at once instituted measures to ferret out tbe truth, and to his active honesty, be it said, is tbe country mainly indebt ed for the final conviction of at least one of the gnilty parties. Shall the others escape 7 A com mittee of Congrese has exonerated Mr. Corwin from all knowledge of the fraudulent character of the claim." ' From the proceedings in the House on Tues day, we find tbe matter la by no means consider ed settled. Mr, Perkmsof Louisiana, offered tbe follow ing Resolatkm Resolved, That tfaeadiciary Committee be in structed to inquire into, the propriety of directing lez.il proceedings to recover any sum of money which may hare been paid to any person out of the treasury on the claim of Gardiner and Mears, under tbe Commission, which adjudicated claims n Mexico, under the provisions of the treaty of Gnadaloupe Hidalgo.. Mr. Cutting suggested an amendment to add, with power to send for persons and papers, in or der that the committee might determine against whom to commence suit. The amendment was agreed to, and the resolu tion adopted, " ' It baa been stated that Gibdimes was tbe mere instrument of otners, to carry out the nefarious scheme of plunder. Thia affords no excuse for him, but may give clae to further developments, ZZ. " " - Wk'to may be brought to justice, We haveno sympathy whatever with the guilty parties. There cti rwii...!

FUSS AND FLUMMERT. Ia a second letter to the Editors of tbe Xatutn al InteUigencer, Mr. John M. Botts, of Virginia, perpetrates the following stuff: "No nun can look abroad opoa the political horizon but most see the gathering of a dark and portentous cloud ia tbe North.

" ..This threat about the danger of tho ' North against the South" is all Flummery. The North has been continually so, under the covert of par ly. Mark the lines, tf you choose gentlemen ; and make the array so distinct that the South can dis tinguish her friends from her enemies. Give what name you please to tbe order of arrangement, "it is a consummation devoutly to be wished." The TW't says that "this is a warning which those immediately interested should ponder well." ffe Will do that thing. THE F1LLIBUSTER3. ' We larn that late advices have been received at tho Navy Department from tbe squadron in the Pacific Ocean, somewhat affecting the Filli bnster prospects in that quarter. Among the Dispatches is one from Commander Dornin, com manding the United States ship Portsmouth, now at San Francisco, in reference to unlawful expe ditions. The presence of a man-of-war has been attended with this good result that it prevented tbe sailing of two vessels with men and military supplies. Tbe decided language of President Pierce, and the rumored interference of onr Gov ernment with the further proceedings of these ad ventures, have very seriously reduced the value of tbeir scrip. BALTIMORE March Gth. BRiTiLtTV.- ITEMS. -Yesterday mcrning a yonng girl mado her appearance before Justice McAllister to enter a complaint against Iter father George Horpick, for cruel treatment to her moth er. The latter, it appears has been sick for some considerable time, sua requires much attention in onler to licr recovery. She stated that he Would not allow her a nurse; would not allow her the attention of her children ; and would not errn suffer the medicine prescribed by a phyician Tor her to be purchased. Independent of this heart lessness, he brutally and revoltingly abused her personally. Upon her statement and a certificate from the attending physician, the Justice sent of ficer Keilholts after him and he was brought and committed to jail to await further action. Memctt. Commencement. The Maryland Uni versity will hold its forty-seventh annual com mencement at the New Assembly Rooms to-morrow morning. That the institution is in a highly flourishing condition, is evidenced from the large number of stndeuts who have attended the lec tures during the session, amounting to over 150. of whom 67 have passed tho necessary examina tion, and will to-morrow be admitted to the de gree of "Doctors of Medicine. The valedictory will be delivered by Professor Samuel Chew. Juvenilis Thieving. A lady had her pocket picked yesterday afternoon of a bead purse, con taining five or six dollars in gold and silver, while examining goods at a shop window on Baltimore street. The theft was doubtless committed by s boy. who was noticed Pot his rudeness in jostling agaio.it the person, but the theft was not suspect ed for the moment. HIGHWAY ROBBER. This morning, about 3 o'clock, a gentleman from New York, while on his way from Barnum's Hotel to the Washington Depot, was knocked down by one of threo men, at the cornor of Balti more and Charles streets, and robbed of a valise and a pocket book containing some $80. The i force of the blow completely stunned him, and when he recovered the robbers had disappeared : l. i.,..... Hi.. n... ..i . . i .. ...... ered with blood, which flowed profusely from the wound he received. No clue has as yet been had to the desperate wretches, -though it is hardly probable that they will escape official vigilance. Two of the men were white, the other black. congress! Two imKrtant bills were passed by the Senate on Wednesday: the first tbe bill to promote the efficiency of the army, by providing for a retired list of disabled officers ; the other to promote the interests of humanity, by granting to the several States portions of the public lands for the sup port of indigent insaDe persons. The House of Representatives continued the discussion of the Senate bill granting public lands to the Territory of Minnesota for railroad purpo ses. The debate was ordered to be closvd in two hours, bnt amendments of an important character were proposed. This bill provides that, for facil itating the transportation of the mails, men ar.d inanitions of war, and other purposes, there shall be granted to tho Territory of Minnesota, for a railroad from the month of Left Hand River, at the head of Lake Superior, via St. Paul, to the southern line of the Territory, with the privilege of extending the same to the northern terminus of the Illinois Central Railroad, on the Mississippi river, every alternate section of land, for six sec tions in width on each side of. said road, within the Territory of Minnesota ; the reserved sections not to be sold for less 4jwMwo dollars and fifty cents per acre. A Viftnit, Act in Wabhinotom. The atone pre rented by the Pope of Rome, intended as a tribute of respect to the memory of Washington to by placed in tbe National Monument, was stolen and destroyed on Sunday night.

Mr. Peterson" am ved at Mon rovia the last of November, and spent upwards of two months in the cnti7The"Legislature of the Republic was in session at the Ume, and Mr. Peterson waa consequently enabled to gather from intercourse wjtii4he representatives of tbe more remote districts, ample information pertaining to- thC condition of their constituents. In Monrovia he was treated with great hospitality, having been entertained by the chief functionaries of the gov ernment, and by the principal citizens. He enjoy ed uninterrupted health, and reports that to have been common to the inhabitants generally at the period of his visit. The capital and country presented every indi cation of prosperity. A general sentiment of con tentment pervaded the population. Industry was everywhere pursued ; and thrift and comfort fol lowed in Us train. Mr. Peterson preferred the aspect of the Republic in those respects, to that of the British settlement. Liberty, eqru'ury and slf government exhibit in Liberia tbeir benignest influences, Mr. Peterson went from Monrovia in tho English mail steamer Hope to Gambia, touching at Sierra Leone. Among bia . fellow-passengers was Mr. Abram Cauldwell, of this city, who risited Liberia as agent of an Agricultural Association from here, part of whom have already emigrated to the Re public. Mr. Cauldwell was unwell at leaving Mon rovia, and in the progress of the voyage, his ill no ss increased so as to endanger his life. An at tempt on the part 6f one of tho stewards of the ship to induce the dying man to bequeath to him his effects was foiled by the interference of Mr. Peterson, who rebuked the mercenary spirit of the interloper, and succeeded in preserving for the wife and children of the emigrant his watch and clothing. Mr. Cauldwell urvirod till the steam- ! er reached Star? Lcoae, where he was landed about 3 ?. M. and died at 8 the same evening, while under the care of a competent physician and nurse. " His remains were interred the next after noon in the Queen's burying-yard, with erery ap propriate demonstration of respect Mr. Jones, tbe Episcopal clergyman of the place, reading the funeral service. A Report of his Mission, and Narrative of bis Journey, are in preparation by Mr. Peterson, and will be published as soon as practicable. Mr. P. baring expended all the money contrib uted to defray the cost of his tour, solicits contri butions for his support while engaged in comple ting the object of his Mission. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. In glancing through our Mexican exchanges, we perceive that the people of that country get up some excitement occasionally at their fandan goes : The town of Quccholac has recently, been the theatre of a frightful tragedy. On Sunday, the 20th of January, Don Juan Jose. Arenas gave a dance at which was present a large company from Quecholac and the neighboring villages. All were so pleased that they agreed to have another on 31st. . At this, a still larger company assembled and still greater gayety prevailed. After eleven o'clock at night, the ladies were invited to go to the supper room ; and threw aside their mantles for the purpose. As they were passing through a passage which lead to that room, one of them fell dead from the stroke of a d.-.gger; the murdert r waa master of the house himself, Arena's. The shriek of the victim, and the sight of the crime, produced the wildest confusion. All attempted to seize the criminal ; but he, armed with his dagger and a six-barreled pistol, placed his back to the wall and defended himself desperately. Am'ong others he wounded the son of the slain , tody. Suddenly, however, finding it impossible to escape, he ap plied his pistol to his mouth and blew out his own brains. It seems that the lady and he were ad versaries in a law suit of much importance, and that, on her having the imprudence to show her self in her adversary's house, he had in his rage, committed this crime. THE FRESHET. Milton Caswell Cokntt, March 2. 1854. No living man ever witnessed in this country such a destructive freshet as that of Sunday and Monday last. The-high-water marks of former perioOs except in the case of Dan River were submerg ed for several feet. Bridges which had been placed upon sites which all former experience had proved to be secure founderies, blacksmith shops, cooper shops, which had hardly ever been touched by former swells, were swept away by the floods along tbe whole length of the County Line. We do not believe that a single bridge is left upon any of tbe streams, north ofHyco over which only a skirt of the cloud seemed to rest with one exception. Independent of the damage thus done, that sustained by tbe lands must have been very great, by reason of the extraordinary violence of the' currents. As was to be expected, such a breaking up of all means of intercourse, as was occasioned by the loss on our bridges arrested general attention. We commend the spirit with which the author ities of the town acted in this emergency. Scarce ly bad the waters subsided, before a free ferry was established at the foot of main street, which will be continued until another bridge is built. To-day, we understand, a general meeting of tbe Magistrates of the county will be held in Yanoey ville, who will authorize the erection of new bridges forthwith. Chronicle. Tbe Martha Washington Conspirators. The St Louis Intelligencer states that a row occurred on board tbe steamer Belle Sheridan, en the Ohio, a few days since, in conseqnen.ee of tbe appearance of some suspicious looking characters who came on board at New Albany and at points below, for the purpose, as was supposed, of res cuing the Marth Washington conspirators, who were on board In charge of Marshal Bruin. A demonstration was made at a rescue, bnt it re suited in a complete failure of the plans of the parties engaged in it, ftnd their being unceremo niously set on shore. The Martha Washington conspirators, as they are termed, were on then way to Arkansas, to take their trial for murder on a requisition from the Governor of that State.

On last Saturday night, the (25th nit.,) there fell, in this vicinity, the heaviest rain we have ever seen or heard. It commenced raining in the afternoon and continued during tbe night. The "oldest Inhabitant" Informs us there has never been anything like it within his memory which runs a good ways back. Irish Bufialoe Creek, near town, rose so high as nearly to cover the railing on the bridge, which waa, perhaps, three feet higher than has ever been known within the recollection of any of our citizens. We understand that Rocky River was five, and Coddle Creek four feet higher than they have ever been known. A number of Bridges, and any quantity of fencing have been washed away. The consequence has been a great interruption of the mails and dearth of news Gazfttr. THE MORMONS AND MATRIMONY. The following extracts, taken from an address to the "Congregation of Saints," delivered by one of the Mormon elders, and published in tho Desc ret News, will show what sort of nonsense, blas phemy and immorality is being disseminated in Utah Territory, in the name of religion : "Celsus was a heathen philosopher ; and what does he say upon the subject of Christ and his apostles, and their belief! He says "the grand reason why the Gentiles and philosophers of his school persecuted Jesus Christ was because he had so many wives ; there was Elizabeth and Mary and a host of others that followed him." After Jesus went from the stage of action, the apostles follow ed the example of their master. For instance, John, the licloved disciple, writes in his second Epistle. "To the elect lady and her children whom, I love in the Lord." Again he says, "having many things to write uuto you or communicate, would not write with pnpei and ink, but I trust to come unto you, and speak fce to face, that our joy may be full." Again, " Tke children, of thy elect sister greet thee. This ancient philosopher says they were both John's wives. Paul says, "mine answer to th'm that do not examine roe is this : Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord and Crpkas ?" He, according to Cephas, had a numerous train of wives. "The grand reason of the burst of public senti ment in anathemas npon Christ and his disciples, causing his crucifixion, was evidently based upon polygamy, according to the testimony of the phi losophers who rose in that age. A belief in the doctrine-of a plurality of wives caused the perse cutions of Jesus and his followers. We might al most think they were Mormons. "You need not wonder that we raise stout boys in the mountains, for we want children ef the right build ; we do not want a scrubby breed here. Men of Mormon blood are not afraid to die. Tbe men that trouble, and whose hearts go pitty-patty because they have got to die, are not worth a picayune. A man that refuses to walk up in tbe track, no matter what comes, and steadily press forward, though there should be a lion in the way he is not of Mormon grit. That was the grit Jo seph Smith bad ; and when be spoke by the pow er of an endless priesthood, which was upon him ; and that is the power by which Brighain speaks. When he stood up in the majesty of his priesthood, and regbuked the judges h ere, I know some of our milk and water folks thought all the fat was in the fire. " Brother Brigham has gone rather .too far ; he might have spoken a little milder than be did ; I think it would have been much better," ect. This was the language of some hearts ; and I feel to say, damn all sucb poor pussyism. When a man of God speaks, let him speak what he pleases, and let all Israel say amen." SUSPICIONS OF PRIVATEERING. The N. York Times mentions a report that an unusual number of vessels, chiefly clipper schoo ners, are now being fitted out at that port, and Baltimore, destined, according to the explanation of some of the parties concerned, for tbe Danish West Indies. The entire fleet is reckoned at twelve or thirteen sails, manned chiefly, if not al together, by Danish and Swedish crews. -SPIRITUAL The pimples on a toper's face are an old fash ioned sort of 'spiritual manifestation.' Tbey can not be said to come exactly from, beyond the grave, but tbey show clearly that the 'medium' is hurrying himself toward the grave. ROME. The Court of Rome is divided on the great I qnesUoo of tbe day.
