The books and wooden furniture of the safe was found scattered beside them, but the iron safe was not. It is supposed they had disposed of it by sinking it in the middle of the East River.

W.B. Lewis. The "Independant" in speak ing of the death of this lamented minister says He had been sick for more than a year past having taken a cold during the week of the anniversaries in May, 1848, which never left him, but became seated upon his lungs, aud finally terminated his life. For many months, neither his friends nor himself have had any hope of his recovery but in calmness and with sad submission, though relieved and exalted by the good hope for him of a glorious immortality, have been awaiting his de parture. Mr.

Lewis wa3 a critical and exact scholar, in the original languages of the Scriptures, a clear thinking and consistent theologian, a thoroughly honest aud earnest minded man, and a Christian in whom a principled and intelligent faith was alwaj's manifest. Ho was warmly attached to the church institutions with wliiuli hlo ohlldUonrl was familiar, mid in connection with which his ministry had been mainly passed but he was a willing co operator with those of his clerical brethren who preferred with their churches another ecclesiastical order, and the memory of pleasaut Christian intercourse with him and of sympathetic labor will be long in their hearts. Thomas H. Bextox The Washington correspondent of the Tribune in writing of Mr. Benton's speech in reply to the Missouri resolutions presented by Atchison says: There was a marked disappointment in the Sen ate to day at the quiet manner in which the Mis souri resolutions of instruction introduced by Mr.

Atchison were disposed of. Col. Benton had care fully prepared a written reply which he delivered with more than usual calmness. He denied that they reflected the wish'es or views of the people of Missouri, and clearly showed that the Legislature of his State had gone beyond its Constitutional powers in the adoption of a portion of the instructions designed to reach their Senators in Congress. When he concluded, his colleague, Mr.

Atchison, with an exhibition of excitement that materially lessened him in public estimation, insisted that the resolutions reflected fully the views of a large ma of the people of his State, and that at the tiroper time they would manifest it. I have no doubt myself of the correctness of the position assumed by Col. Benton, and that the people of Missouri will repudiate the resolutions this day offered in the'Senate of the United States. My means of judging accurately in this matter, are such as to leave little doubt of their correctness. Those who imagine that Missouri can be prevailed upon, under any circumstances whatever, to coincide with the Southern views of secession, are laboring under as gross a delusion as ever misled mankind.

There is no State in the Confed ercy more unalterably opposed to secession than the one truly represented upon the Slavery question by Col. Benton. The Hungarians left N. Y. yesterday morn ing in the custody of a committee from Philadelphia.

in which a citizen of a slaveholding state has had the manliness tostand up in the faceof his constitu i ents find on us mstioe. Tin snirl "A fundamental falsehood, for the most wicked of purposes, pervades this State, and all the slave holding states, importing that Congress means to abolish slavery in the slave states and that the proviso, called Wilmot's, is the first step in the scheme of abolition. This is untrue, and unfounded and can be proved to be so in every way in which a negative proposition can be proved. It can be proved by the words, and by tiie conduct of Congress by the words, atrtl by the conduct of that part of Congress against which the accusation is directed the non slaveholding part the members, w). ig and democrat, from the free states.

They disclaim, one and all, both the right and the desire to do any sucli thing. They disavow all shadow of ri ht, and tieny every particle of desire to interfere with slavery, in the remot est possible degree, in any state of the Union. They are against its extension into territories but with slavery in the states they have nothing to do and so declare it on all suitable occasions. I couid read abuudant declarations to that effect, but limit myself to tho assertion of tho fact, known to be true by all rea ding men, and proceed to proof of a more impressive form that of the acts and conduct of these Btates the authentic and effective acts of the nonslaveholding members standing in their places in the Congress of the United States. I proceed to these acts.

He then went on to make out his case. He referred to the Platte country, once free under the compromise Act of 1S20. and subsequently annexed to Missouri, and opened, under her laws, to the introduction of slaves to Texas, lost by Mr. Calhoun's vote in 1829, and regained by northern votes in 1845; to Florida, a Slave Territory, acquired by treaty, requiring two thirds of the votes of the Senate, and receiving them square miles of slave territory," as he says, "added, and by help, and much help, of northern votes;" ami to the Indian territory in nine slaveholdhjg states, secured to those states by a removal of the Indian population. Thuse cases tire cited by Col.

Benton to show that neither Congress nor the northern states are obnoxious to the perpetual charges of aggression, which are brought against them by Mr. Calhoun and his coadjutors. He then continues as follows They have helped you to 'much beneficial legislation much on other subjects besides that of adding to your slave territory, and removing the Indians that incumbered you. They are the majorilv, and no legislation, good or bad, can come to you from congress without theii help. Their words and conduct show you that they wisli to give you beneficial legislation and the statute book contains many instances of it.

Salt gold preemptions donations of land grants to the states for schools, colleges and internal improvements whence came they all? From the help of northern votes, and generally against the opposition of the nulification. school. The south, in former and happier time was the peculiar guardian of the west. The great men of the south, in the great day of the south, covered and sheltered the young west with their beniScent legislation, as the mother hen shelters her young brood with her protecting wing. Nullification has changed that relation and whatever the west gets now, and has got for years past, is, unhappily, with too little aid from the south.

The graduation bill has met its inexorable antago nist in Mr. Calhoun a man who never limits himself to a fair opposition in the House, but works witUsut scruple, upon members out of doors, and in the night. The great preemption policy, now established as a system in our land, and for winch I havebeen an advocate since a member of the eon eral assembly of Tennessee in the year lHO'j forty years ago this policy has been established by the help of northern votes. The men of the north are working men. and they feel for working men in other places.

Upon such a man as Silas Wright, the appeal in favor of the settler in the woods in favor of the man who wa ters tho soil with his sweat, and makes an improvement in the wilderness against him who would buy his house and his field over his head, and take his labor for nothing the argument in fa vor of such settler fell with irresistible weight upon the man who. after adorning the seriate by his wisdom and eloquence, could be seen on hi little farm of forty acres, the harvest ripe, in the not neld, a straw hat on lus head, brown linen shirt and trowsers, stout shoes to keep out briars and stubble, cradle or scythe in the hand, and car rying an even row with the best Such a man and such men feel for laboring men every where and to such you are indebted for the aid which established the pre emption system." The New York "News" very properly protests against permitting the carriages to drive the omni busses out of Broadway. It contends that the street belongs as much to one class of our citizens as another and thinks that it would be gross inju? tice to banish the omnibusses, which accommodate i Jar more than the give the street up to a monopoly of the aristocracy. The laundress, i it says, returning home with her bund ei of clothes, or the seamstress with her package of work, has as good aright to as much of Broadway, as the lady who carries home in her own carriage her last pur i chase of a thousand dollai from Stewart's or Beck's.
