2, 18 1C. Tho settlement of the boundary question, and the sitnation of all'airs in California, open a new field for political speculation, as well c.otu morcial. Com. Stockton has thus far managed to tho entiro satisfaction of Amoricnns, and in such a way as to make tbo acquisition the California per fectly inevitable. Tho efforts of Mr.

Hastings havo been successful in turning about 3000 of the Oregon emigrants into that couutry, who with the Amori cans already there, will constitute a force sufficient to iusuro its independence of Mexico, and prepare tho way for its annexation Texas like lo tho U. S. should it not bo ceded in tho treaty of ne.ico with Mexico. Tho Calil'ornian a file of newspapers which wo did not receive with the letter, will show you what sort of an ad interim government is established. As to Oregon, its political and commercial importance lo tho U.

S. cannot be over estimated, and should the government neglect to take such measures as aro best calculated to dovclope its resources, its position, connected as it is with tho commerce of the Pacific, will insure its rapid march to au important rank. Dr. McLaughlin of whom you have heard so much, both for and against, is the largest capitalist in the torrilory. From my own personal knowledge, I assuro you that you may prouounco any publications you may fall in with complimentary lo him perfectly just and any of an opposito character, fulse and calumnious a truer republican nover lived.

Ho is largely interested in Oregon and has eontributod, in his private character not only, but iu his official capacity as a chiof factor in tho Hudson's bay co. as well largely to make the territory valuable and reuder its settlement at once profitable and safe. Much credit is due to him for his wise and just management of tho numerous Indian tribes around the valley of the Willamette and should his policy be pursued by our own government there need no apprehension bo felt for tho safety of tho colonists. There are men, not over discreet, there us every where else, but on tho whole the territory may be pronounced, as far as climate, soil and society are concerned, ouo of the most inviting new countries on the face of tho globe The loss of the Shark on tho sands at the mouth of the river is a very unfortunate occurrence. It look place only a few days after I left there.

No official report has been received; all that is known of the ciroumstance you will find in the account given by tho captain of the vessel which sailed the same day. Tho loss of this or any othor vessel thero ought not to give the navigation of the river a bad name, for it must be remembered that it is baren irunce, without pilots, buoys or other conveniences to assist tho navigator. By all sailors with whom I have spoken it is pronounced to be naturally superior to many bar entrances on tho Atlantic, whoso ports enjoy a largo commerce." B. S. Washington gossip.

The letter writer of the Journal of Commerce, from Washington, has no doubt of a speedy peace in tho matter of this Mexican war. The president," says ho, will of course fix the terms upon which be will treat. Wo do not know what they are, except through Mr. Sevier's statement. But the Uuion intimates they will cm braco a cession of all tho territory north of latitude thirty two degrees, to tho United Slates.

This, tho Uuion says, will bo satisfactory to tho slave holding states, aud I should think it might be. Tho Union says it will givo thirteen states to the south, and twenty states (north of 3G 30 including Oregon, to tho north. Half of the computation of the free states, Mr. Niles would call It is not generally known, and it will be interesting to some partios concerned, that the joint resolution of the 3d March, for refunding mouios advanced for tho organization, supplies, transportation, of voluntoers, embraces individuals who have made advances for these purposes. Iu those states, like Massachusetts, which refused to make theBe advances, they were mude by individuals, by company officers, and by private subscription.

Tho Massachusetts rrgimont was equipped Ht the expense of their oflicers, and a private subscription of thirty five hundred dollars. Col. Gushing advanced sixty five hundred, aud the captains a considerable amount. Severe, but not without soie Tho 1 Philosophy of contains tho following item Swindlers, robbers, counterfeiters, though held up to exclusive ignominy, constitute a very insignificant proportion of tho innumerable host of plunderers necessary for so extensive a work. Like waterspouts, they rob largely und violent! and their work is exposed.

It needs a process analogous to the constant aud invisible evaporation by which the waters of lakes aro taken up for redistribution and just such a one is contrived for tho ptirposo. Monopolies, bank paper, speculators on industry, defaulters, specious associations, gamblers, petty cheating and deception in trade and manufactures, rob the rightful owners ol moro property in one day by just such a process, than all the thieving that excites our horror by boing paraded on tho criminal calendar, in a whole life time!" Tun toils ok a ewspaper. Newspaper literature is a link iu tho great chain of miracles which prove the greatnoes of England, and overy support should be given to newspapers. Tho editors of these nowspapors must have a most onerous task. It is not tho writing of the leading article itself, but the obligation to write that articlo overy week, whether inclined or not, in sickness or in health, in affliction, distress of mind, winter and summer, year after year, tied to ono task, remaining in one spot.

It is something like walking a thousand miles in a thousand hours. I have a follow feeling, for I know how a periodical will wear down one's existenco. In itself it appears nothing tho labor is not manifest nor is it tho labor it is tho continual attention which it requires. Your life becomes as it were, the publication. Ono week is no sooner corrected and printed, than on comes the other.

It is the stone of Sisyphus an endless repetition of toil a constant weight upon the mind a continual wearing upon the intellect and spirits, demanding all the exertion of your faculties, at tho time that you are compelled to do the severest drudgery. To write for a paper is very well, but to edit it is to condemn yourself to slavery. Captain Maryatt. That the labors of an editor are hard enough, is an undoubted fact. But for our part, we like them, Thero are many pleasures and gratifications iu tho position of an editor.

Moreovor we think there has been quito too much of this cant about tho dreadful things concomitant with the labors of a newspaper The worst of it is, not that the work is hard, but that, in this country, one man has to do so many things in the paper. Abroad, it is different half a dozen editors aro a small allowance for well conducted daily journal. And ono is apt to regret the having so much to do, here, because, in iHo multiplicity, each subject cuniiut be thoroughly il.r,: justice to. We not give however BttOOHXYN WlllnUSIlT, A.N'D ITS DEVELOrEMnSTS. We don't think there is much doubt but that tho higs will put up iVIr.

Stryker agttin for tho mayoralty. His olcUovt last spring was an unexpected picco of luck to thorn, and thoy fondly hope for its continuance a sort of second edition of tho sanio work. But wo cannot say wo think tho public appetite demands a second edition. Mr. Slrykor is a Worthy and unassuming mau one who as a private neighbor gains, wo aro told, much esteem but ho certainly is not cut cut for tho mayoralty (though ho may be cut out' too, if ho consent to run this pring for that office).

We appeal to any candid man in Brooklyn, not I steeped in parly feeling, if tho courso of Brooklyn whiggery, ill our municipal as well na othor affairs, has not boon of the most underhanded and unfair kind! Tliey are never willing to stand on thoir own niorits to place their oaiididates in opposition to ours, and have a fair open comparison of claims. Thoy aro not content even with tho ue of party trickery and machinery to gull tho credulous; though they adopt such trickery and machinory as on important part of their means ol success. But they bend their principal efforts, through thoir two organs, to connivances with third partios, with na tivisna, and every other ism that offers tho least chance of hope for thorn. Tiioy seek by worming themselves und their emissaries in some way or other into certain affairs by spending thoir money, and fostering every latent coal into a flame to create a breakage in the democratic ranks. And it is a safe rule here in Brooklyn, to go by that where you see the appearances of disunion and want of democratic harmony, in local quarters, there you may be sure that zshiggery has been at work, and is at the bottom of it; and that even those who think thoy are acting for them aclvcs, are but the dupes of whiffs behind the curtain.

But this is perhaps hurdly worth mentioning, after all tho whigs' efforts in that way being generally of an order of bubbles which so soon explode as to make ouo wonder what they were begun We meant moro particularly to call the deliberate attention of the citizensof Rrooklynto the flimsiness of the present incumbent's capacity for the office of mayor. We aro sure that even his best friends must in their hearts agree to our opinion of Mr. Stryker's want of capacity. Lkgislatube N. y.

History of the American war. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas states that the American war," upon which count Serruier, the former French minister at Washington, has been employed for years, is noarly finished and that count do Manou, who was also for many years in tho French legation in America, and long resident of Washington and its neighborhood, now resides at Paris, and is making investigations in some of tho public archives on American affairs.

LOCAL Arc. Common Council. The doings' of tho city fathers last evening were of small quality and despe rately iiiionor quainy. i no six Hours' session was productive of little elso than drowsiness to all present and was for the most part frittered away in frivolous discussions about trivialities. So much time was spent iu idle talk that tho hour of ten, to which tho sessions are now limited by the rule, arrived and not a single report from the streot, assessment and many other committees had been made, nor a resolution received: An attempt was made to prolong tho session, but it was rendcrod nugatory by members putting on their hats and rushing out, thus leaving the board without a quorum.

As a specimen of the way in which tho timo was frittered away, which ought to havo bocn devoted to tho important business of tho city, a whole hour or more was expended in flatulent discussion upon a roport made by tho finance committee advorsoly to paying a bill for work dono for the fire dep. (which had already been audited by tho fire and directed to be paid by the comptroller under direction of the finance com becauso there wero a couplo of items expressed iu general terms, repairs on engines." Tho finance it was thought, in this matter rather overstepped their boundary, as the function growing out of their "direction" was merely to see that there wore sufficient funds to pay the bill, and not lo re audit it. Aid. Maun, one of the finance committee stated the reasons which they had for the report, and they were coincided in by Aid. Fowler, the chairman.

He said that ho could not, and should not consent to the payment of any bill for public services unless tho items wero given. If a bill were rendered for oxponscs to Albany' on the public business, he wanted to know how much of it was spent in wine, how much in segars, and how much for mending breeches. So of a bill for repairing, he wanted tho particulars, in order to know that tho public money was properly spoilt. All this minute information is no doubt very proper, and its requirement highly creditable, in tho right place; but the opinion prevailed that such minor revelations were irrelevant ou this occasion. The members generally took up the subject and made longthy and edifying speeches thoroupon, while all but tho speakers themselves seomed to be inclined to a somnolent condition.

The matter was finally disposed bv ordering the bill paid, and thus administering a rebuke to the finance committee for their interference. In this way the time of the board was most frittered away, while a vast quantity of business, of the utmost importance (so those stated who had it in hand) was hanging back ready to ba crowded in by the head and sholders at the end of the session. At tho present rate of calculation employed by those who mako windy and frothy speeches, ono session of six hours per week is by no moans long enough to transact the business of the city. Wo would, therefore, respectfully suggest the plan of tri weokly sessions of the city fathers, at one of which the real business should be done, and the other two devoted to talking about it. Then those aldermen who are disposed to laork would not bo obliged to undergo the usual weokly drugging which tliey must submit to in order to perform a share of their business.

Ladies' belief association. At an adjourned meeting of the ladies' Irish relief association, held at the Lyceum, on Monday, March 15th 1817, the following resolutions were proposed and adopted First, that the Mayor of Brooklyn bo appointed treusurer, and all moneys collected by the society lo bo paid to him second, that tho committee appointed for the purpose of purchasing provisions for the gentlemen's relief association, alsopureliase provisions for the ladies' thirdly that the provisions bo sent to Newry, in the north of Ireland, consigned to the care of Mr. Henderson, editor of the Newry Telegraph, an old inhabitant of tho place, and ono who will obey any instructions sent. This resolve is thought best, as all provisions havo been sent to the south and west, and none to tho north, where great distress and suffering ure known to exist. The sum so far received, amounts to 18, and was deposited in tho bank, until the wholo sum be collected and placed in tho hands of Mr.

Stryker. By order of the meeting, Anna M. Hefferman, secretary. Fire. The alarm of fire yesterday afternoon about o'clock, proceeded from a barn on Bergen street, between Court and Smith, belonging to Mr.

O'Donnoll, of 1300 for filling lots on Concord, Tillary, Raymond and Navy, so that ho may pay his taxes amounting to 075, for which a levy has been made on his property, by the collector. Aid Fowler moved that a certificate of indebtedness be directed to be issued to the petitioner until tho assessment shall be. collected. Aid Humphrey suggested that such a certificate would not beofmuch avail to the petitioner, and that ho should be regularly paid.

Aid Stilwell moved that the city give Mr. O'D. a bond for the money due him. Aid Fowler said that he should strenuously oppose any such course. Aid Humphrey asked of tho chairman of the assessment cominitteo if it was probublo that the assessment for tho improvement would shortly be confirmed Aid Bokee said it was not now proper to divulge the present condition of tho matter, as there had been suggested doubjs whether the assessment could be legally collected but it would probably bo disposed of in two or three weeks.

Aid ann moved that tho compt. bo authorised to appropriate Mr. O'Donnell's taxes, $075, from other sources, uutil theso assessments should be collected. Tho chair stated that there were many other contractors similarly situated, and if this course should bo adopted iu this case, they would require liko treatment and this would embarrass the treasury.

The report of tho law and as sessment committee, which was laid on the table last week to be called up in this place as the special order, relating to tho assessments for Hamilton av.

grading, came up and Aid. Htimphery moved its adoption. The report recommended as compromise between the city and the assessed, that tho assessments be placed iu the comptroller's office for ninety days, and that a deduction of forty per cent bo allowed on all the assessments paid within that period. Aid Fowler and Humphrey addressed tho board at length the latter giving the whole history of the assessment for Hamilton av. and the years of litigation connected with it, and giving the reasons why tho committee recommended the proposed compromise.

He said that the city was liable, on a judgment, to the Messrs. Cummiugs, the con tractors.for 30,000 ou account of this avenue, and that the' had agreed to receive in full paymont a bond for This together with interest, now amounted to 20,000, for which the city is now liable and tho cominitteo thought the corporation stood in tho position of an endorser for another man's note, and it behooved them to collect asinuch as they could, reserving their legal claims on ull who should not pay within the proposed lime for the full amount If all the owners should avuil themselves of tho compromise there would be raised from them some 16,000 and the city atlurge would have to pay the baluuce, 10,000.
