tenfold bitterness to the conflict of rival and discordant opinions, how shall we have deplore the bereavement of his presence, the light of whose countenance, the very sound whose voice, would recall us, like a talisman, the tempest of hostile passions to the calm posure of harmony and peace. Mr. WILLIAMS was and had long been, in official language which we have adopted from British House of Commons, the Father of House and though my junior by nearly years, I have looked up to him, in this House, the reverence of filial affection, as if he was father of us all. The seriousness and gravity his character, tempered as it was with cheerfulness and equarimity peculiarly fitted for that relation to the other members of House, while the unassuming courtesy of his portment and the benevolence of his disposition Invited every one to consider him as a brother. Sir, he is gone! The places that have him shall know him no more; but his shall I be treasured op by the wise and the good his contemporaries, as eminent among the and statesmen of this our native land; and were possible for any Northern bosom, within this ever to harbor for one moment a wish for the solution of our National Union, may the spirit our departed friend, pervading every particle of atmosphere around us, dispel the delusion soul by reminding him, that in that event would no longer be the countryman of Williams! ESCAPE, AND SPEEDY RE- CAPTURE OF PRISONERS.

-Last night, at eight o'clock, three of the ers confined in the Jail at Fort Green, contrived to effect their escape under the following stances: The keeper of the house had been cleaning cells during the day, and for convenience, temporarily placed Staylor, William H. Cook, Lewis Luyd, in a cell together. At 8 o'clock the evening, Mr. Gedney, the keeper of the was about to remove them back to their separate cells, when the three attacked him, knocked down, rushed out of the prison, on their knocking down two other men who are in custody of the Sheriff, but are permitted to assist the er in his duties. Cook made his exit by a lower window.

In act of getting out, he was seized by Mrs. Gedney, but compelled her to release him by striking over the arm with an iron bar which lay on window, and which formed part of the grating which they were about to put up. Mr. Gedney took instantancous measures track and re-arrest them. Mr.

Farley, Captain Watch, entered upon the duty with great and caused watches to be sent in all directions. The Mayor was up and doing--all the officers the alert and every thing effected which energy good conduct could accomplish. Mr. Plumsted, of the watch, was sent to Grand street, New York, near the Williamburgh Ferry, the expectation that Cook might cross there.about 9 o'clock, Mr. Plumsted saw Staylor about crossing the Ferry, and seized him.

A des. perate fight ensued, Staylor using a knife with which he cut the elab of Mr. Plumsted from wrist. He succeeded, however, in capturing him, brought him over to Brooklyn with the assistof two New York watchmen. Loyd was with Staylor, but not being known Plumsted he was not seized.

Mr. Plumsted took his stand again, and about past 3 o'clock this morning arrested Cook, came over in the first morning boat from Williamsburgh. Thus two of these desperate vil. are speedily back to their old quarters, un circumstances which will not aid them in their efforts hercafter to obtain enlargement. It will be seen by these facts that Mr.

Plumsted deserves the warm approbation of the citizens, as vigilant and determined officer. Staylor was confined on a charge of Rape.at the last Oyer and Terminer, was conof Burglary; and Loyd was confined for passing counterfeit money. Loyd is the only one now at liberty, and the has offered a reward for his apprenension. RETRACTION. -The Commercial of yesterday, publishes an article, in which it completely exoner.

Arnold of Tennessee. During an amusing speech the other day upon the Tariff, Mr. Arnold remarked the among vagabonds of the country a chance to drink other things that he did not wish to give champaigne," A Are you a toc-totaller Mr. Arnold. No, never, by a jug full.

But as a friend near me "has remarked, with a good horn of 'white I can swallow New Hamp. shire at a mouthful, if her granite hills were well greared." (Laughter.) Another It would give you the gravel, old fellow." (Renewed Laughter.) A If he swallowed the Granite State, he would surely have the stone." (Roars of Laughter.) FACT V6. Abbe Raynal, who was accounted in his days an acute and profound philosopher, and who had travelled through the United States, in a work published in 1780, made the following remarks: It would be hazardous to fix the limits of the future population of United States. Such a calculation, always sufficiently difficult, becomes impracticable for a reigon where the lands, degenerate very rapidly, and where the reproduction the sources of supply by no means keep pace with the demands made upon them. If ten mil SUIN people ever una an assured subsistence in these provinces, it will be a great deal.

Even then, the exports will be reduced to nothing, or very lit. tle; but domestic industry will obviate the neces. of dependence on the industry of foreign na. tions. With few exceptions, the country may supall the wants of its inhabitants, provided they shall content themselves in economy and mediocrity." In the period already elapsed, since the 'above written our population has far overleaped the bounds then sel as our utmost limit, and our exports, instead of being reduced to nothing," have mounted up to more than a hundred millions of dollars per annum.

Who, then, shall presume to bounds to our future growth Massachusetts Spy. TEMPERANCE. -The Journal of Commerce states there is nothing so fashionable in New York temperance. The various houses and halls where its wholesome doctrines are explained and this enforced, are crowded every evening. The re.

formed inebriates are the most popular orators of day. Recently in New York and Brooklyn, his several companies connected with the Fire Depart have come in and signed the teetotal pledge, man of them. The doctrine with which the reformation commenced, that all effort ing temperance be made to save the temperate, while the intemperate, being in a hopeless condition, must the left to die off is now overthrown, and drunkards recovered faster than temperate drinkers.

All present will testify that he was always constant and assiduous in its performance -that he was always among the first in his seat, and the last to leave the Hall. Neither inclemency of weather nor any person.

He first entered political life in the Legislature of his native State, in 1913, and ho has bocu for twentyseven years a member of this House. He was for years the Chairman of the Committee on Claims, and although he guarded the public treasures like watchful sentinel, yet his ear was never closed the claims of those who furnished any proof of their justice. THis talents were rather useful than ostentatious; rarely spoke, but when he did undertake to ad.

And how often, when this House has been involved in disorder and confusion, has a few words from his lips been sufficient to relieve us from embarrassment and difficu'ty. Ile was distinguished for his dignity decorum, and always charitable to those who differed in opinion with him, where he saw that the difference was sincerely entertained.

At sity--and never in her darkest scenes of trial, has ceased to love his country. Long as he has before it, and censorious as the world is, who there that will not exclaim, an honest and a vir. man has died! What a loss to his country and constituents! How often have they appealed ance his wisdom, and relied upon his candor! Such was he in public life, and in his private Mr. domestic relations he was not less remarkable purity and goodness of character.

Navy COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE, As the fashion of selling newspapers in the open market seems now to be greatly prevalent, we have concluded to adopt it.

It is undoubtedly the best advertising medium in the city, and we are happy to say that the community seem to be well aware of this fact. We have often been asked by persons who call 10 purchase papers, why we do not sell them in the streets also? We have hitherto declined this for our own convenience.
