Srooklgu Wails aQlc. SATURDAY EVENING. APHM 5 Trade of tlie Pacific. We have all heard of the "richeB of the Indies," and we all know that the of the Indies has ever been of the highest importance to every enterprising nation. It was this that so enriched King Solomon who "made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones," and who built Tadmor of the de sort (Palmyra) as.

a resting place for his trading caravans, and "made a navy of ships at Kzion geiber which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Bed Sea," which "came to Opliir and fetched from thence gold and "once in three years'' brought gold and silver, ivory and apes aud In later times the trade of the Indies has mostly fallen into the hands of the English, and it lias been distributed to the world through the city of London, which it has greatly enriched, and made the chief commercial emporium on the globe. It is, however, becoming more and more obvious that the United Slates must enter into sue cessful competition fur this trade. Our possessions lay hold on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and span the continent that stretches between. In this vast region is an active, energetic population who have already pushed their commercial enterprises in all parts of the world, and are ready to seize en every advantage which is opened to their prying activities. Their large commercial cities lie ou the Atlantic, while the rich mines of California are on the borders of the Pacific, and in the direct neighborhood of the long coveted wealth of the Indies.

The trade of the Pacific must, then, fall naturally into our lap, and all that we have to do to divert it from its present channel, und send it through New York instead of London, is to make an iron pathway across the continent, on which it can flow to the commercial cities of the east. When this trade shall be properly opened, it will give an impetus to the advancement of our country which, great as it is has hitherto been, will far exceed tlie past. The supply of cot ton in the U. States, including Texas, is already beyond what the wants of Europe require. The wants of China are, however, such as will absorb almost a limitless quantity.

The cotton goods manufactured in the United Stales already supersede those of all other countries in those markets, and American lead has entirely supplanted the English. The English government by commanding the exclusive route to China over Egypt, by way oi the Nile and the Isthmus of Suez, have hitherto obtained news several weeks earlier than it could be had the United States an advantage which has given her merchants control of the markets. But when the great Pacific Railroad shall be completed we sljaU be able to reach China in much less time than she can possibly do. A powerful Stale has already sprung upon the Pacific at a point of six days, by steam, distant from the Sandwich Islands a group, the independence of which is guarantied whose population is 100,000, mostly American; the surface 8, UOO square miles; of a soil the most fruitful, and climate unsurpassed in salubrity. These Islands are situated in the middle of the Pacific, on the great highway from San Francisco to China.

The great whale fishery of these regions is mostly conducted by Americans, numbering two hundred vessels, whose annual product is five millions of dollars. Tliia fleet Ju the summer months cruise between the Islands and the coast of Japan, for sperm whale, and carry on a laige trade in furs, which are now sold in Chiua, and the proceeds sent homo iu tea to the United States. The whole of this vast trade, and that of China) Via'the Sandwich Islands. will be commanded by us through our Pacific ports and it must not theie fore be long before a Railroad will connect New York with the Pacific, and a steam communication be established thence to China. For the last three centuries, the civilized World has been rolling westward and the Americans of the present age will complete the circle, and open a western steam route with the East." Printing.

Our steam apparatus works beautl fully, and gives us facilities in executing what is called job work which we have never had before, and which put us 5n a footing, in point of dis patch, with the best offices in the world. Our friends, therefore, who have been obliged to get their work done elsewhere, on account of 'our inability to meet their demands in regard to time, may henceforth be accommodated. We have all tho needful presses aud typo to do work in the best manner, and, so far as press wnrk is concerned, with aB much dispatch as it can be done anywhere. President Fiuiore. The sweeping removals which President Filmore has made in the ranks of Mr.

Seward's active friends, and the certainty with which the head of every Seward office holder fails beneath the axe of the executioner, is in beautiful contrast with the declarations of the President's inaugural in which he gravel said "The appointing power is one of the most delicate with which the President is invested. I regard it as a sacred trust, to be exercised with a sole view of advancing the prosperity and happi. ness of tlie whole people. It shall bo my effort to elevate tlie standard of official employment, by selecting for places of importance individuals tilted for the posts to which they are assigned, by their known integrity, talents and virtue." Legislature, Friimy. In the Senate a resolution was adopted requesting the Judiciary Committee to inquire into tlie expediency of providing by law, for tho election of judicial officers in this State, on some other day of the year than the one appointed for holding the general election.

The Rouse's Point bridge bill was passed by a vote of 17 to 10. In the House there was nothing of particular interest to this section of the State. Island. Hon. Ceorge U.

King, (Whig.) is re elected to Congress by 87 plurality over Sayles 24 over all opposing votes. Hon. B.B. Thurston has over 1,000 majority iu the Western District. By the look of the letmns, he seeems to have all the Lucufocn and about half the Whig and Free Soil votes The Williamsburgh 'Jiuies thinks that the poo.

Large quantities of potatos, described as of excellent quality, have been brought to different American ports, by recent arrivals from France. Also new potatos from Bermuda. Another Kenton SlaW 'CaseTdrrtfcre Excitement Court House Surrounded with Chains Public Meeting and violent Speeches.

On Thursday, the Sd at a late hour of the night, a bl ack man named Thomas Sims, was arrested by a Deputy Marshal, assisted by the police and watch. At firtt Sims supposed he was arrested for druukennes.i and was going quietly on in the charge of the Marshal to the watch house, when he was undeceived. He immediately raised the cry of "Kidnapper," and drawing a knife from hiB pocket inflicted a severe wound on officer Beckman the groin. He was, howeve lodged in the Court Homo and put undei a strong guard. At a late hour Samuel E.

Bewail happened to meet Deputy Marshal Piley in the street, when a slave altercation arose, and was so violent that Sewell was taken to the watch house where he ro maiued for an hour. At a still later hour, Fletcher Webster (son of Daniel) undertook to interfere with a watchman who was ringing the bell of King's Chapel, and he was taken up and carried to the watch house aud thence to jail, whence he was released the next morning by giving the required bail. So much for tho work of Thursday night. The news of tho next day we give from the report telegiaphed to the morning papers. A meetiDg of those opposed to the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law was held on the Common, this afternoon, (Friday.) Tho meeting was called to order by Kev.

Mr. Colvor. Dr. Howe was appointed Chairman. Wendall 1 hillips spoke.

He said that the Court House was iu chains, and he hoped the people would come in from the coun try in such solid columns as to block up the streets, and prevent the fugitive from being carried off, except over their heads. He rejoiced that the law could not be executed except at the point of the bayoLet and behind chains. They won't dare (he said) to carry the fugitive out of the Commonwealth except under the convoy of the guns of the Navy Yard. He spoke of Faneuil Hall beine closed to tnem, and hoped that they would make the elms of the Common resound to the declaration that "Law or no law, Constitution or no Constitution, chains or no chains, this law shall not be enforced." Block the locomotives, tear up the rails, follow the fugitive to the borders of the State, if possible, to rescue him. He counseled every colored man who had ever felt the chains of Southern oppression, to fill his pockets with pistols, ifcc, and as lar as he was able be would stand bv their sides.

The law for them was at an end. He urged the meeting to hold it self iu readiness with all tlie means at its com mand, to endeavor to stop to morrow the cxecu tion of this statute, The Government and Legislature have refused us the means to try this issue, and we have the right to disobey it, and meet the consequences. When priests and statesmen are traitors, the people must take up the reins. The meeting here adjourned to Tremont Temple where the Rev. Theo.

Parker was called up. He said that when lie passed the Court House this morning, and Baw the chains which encompassed it, he imagined that he was iu Vienna, and not in Boston, under martial law, and certainly not under the laws of New England. He asked the meeting to pass the resolve, each for himself, that he would hold for ever more as iufamouB any one who aids in the arrest or rendition of a fugitive slave. I am, he said, ready to do it, aud can see but little differ ence between the African kidnapper, and the Boston kidnapper. There are at present three kidnappers in Boston find them out, and point at them as they pass in the street make them sick ot Boston.

He had understood from very good authority, that they were intending to arrest two more fugitives to night. He urged the meeting to form themselves into a vigilance committee, and keep a watch upon the movements of the bloodhounds. A Scotchman named McClure, denounced as a coward any man who would allow his arm to hang loosely by his side, while a fugitive was being carried off. He counselled no violence, he said, but soon afterwards cried out Liberty or death resistance to tyrants is obedience to tiod." The Rev. Mr.

Colver next said the law was so obnoxious and inhuman, that he would trample it under his feet he went for absolute disobedience. He would also counsel do violence, but hu asked the assembly to meet to morrow at the Court House in their strength, lie people lrom the surrounding country would be there, and if his presence upon such an occasion was inconsistent with his clerical profession, he would unfiock himself. He denounced those ol his brother ministers who had counseled obedience to the fugitive slave law as traitors to their conntry and their God and called upon the meeting to again pass the resolution passed at Faiiueil Hall, that "Constitution or no Constitution, law or no law, no fugitive slave shall be carried out of Massachusetts." Af'er some further inflammatory speeches, the meeting adjourned, with the understanding that they were lo meet at 10 o'clock to morrow around the Court House. Some of the speakers denounced Daniel Webster as a disgrace to his country a villain a traitor to the North, which was received with min' gled hisses and cheers. The number present at the Temple was about one thousand, many of whom went there from curiosity.

The Court House is still surrounded with chaius, and guarded by a large body of police officers. The fugitive is in a room on the third story, which is secured by six two inch iron bolts upon the inside. Several military companies are at the armories, iu rendiness for action in C7.se of any disturbance or attempt to rescue. Indeed, every precaution has been taken to prevent a second Shadrach affair. Nine o'clock.

The city remains in an excited state. The square around the Court House has been cleared once or twice of the crowd collected, by detachments of the city watch, and one or two who refused to stir were taken into custody. The Square, however, is again half full. Sixty resolute men guard the Court House upon the inside, and others are ready at the different watch houses upon the least alarm. No blacks are to be seen abroad.

Knots of men are collected all over the city, discussing the matter. The great majority are in favor of obedience to the law. The agent of the owner refiiseB to sell the slave his orders arc to take him out of Massachusetts to test the law. The Packet ShipIvamhoe. There seems to remain no doubt of the loss of the splendid packet ship Ivanhoe, Captain Magee.ol'this port, with all on board.

She was last seen by Capt. Hoxio, of the ship Joseph Walker, at 3 P. on the 24th of February, ashore on Nantucket Shoals, and a few hours afterwards the weather roughened, and the wind blew with such fury that several sails Jof the Joseph Walker were carried away by it.

For tho Brooklyn Daily Eagle. BEAUTY. Beauty is said to be a dangerous gift; aud thnBO hard countenanced ladicB who lead us not into temptation" with the force of their charms, and whose looks are such perfect guardians of their virtue as to render all fear of an attack out of the question, deliver eloquent homilies on the dangers to which beauty exposes its possessors. But this is just like tho logic of the fox with the abbreviated termination, making a virtue of necessity, and merely attempting to light a wisp that they may get oft' in the smoke. Beauty, instead of being a misfortune, is one of the best sifts ever bestowed upon mortality; for unless there he some.inli rent depravity lurking in the sou), like a serpent among flowers, beauty never was the ruin of any one.

yes I know what you are going to say. Helen caused the destruction of Troy because Priam was a libertine, and she was void of virtue. But that doesn't argue anything against beauty. It has ever been my belief, and experience has sanction' ed it, that no person of a forbidding countenance ever was good. I would not tax the Creator with injustice, yet I have met both men and women who, I believe, could not for the soul of them, be good.

Whenever I see a pair of squinting eyes set one on each side of a twisticated nose, I look upon it as a label, printed iu nature's plainest characters, declaring their owner to be a villain. Of course there will be exceptions to this rule as to all others but the general principle is correct. Who would refuse to grant a favor, even to the "half of one's kingdom," when asked by the lipa of beauty Such is my own weakness in this respect that if any kind of handsome girl were to a9k the nose off my face, I don't believe I could refuse it, whatever inconvenience I might feel myself under for want of it. But if creatures who seem the Btep children of nature on account of the harshness she has shown them, ever attempt to lay claim to a character of goodness or benevolence, their sinister looks appear as prima facie evidence against them. With legard to female beauty and that is the only kind of beauly that is worth talking of whatever may be said of the lips, the cheeks, or other points of beauty, I look upon the eye as the centre of woman's charms.

"Many are tlie forms, And varied is the die Of that most wond'rous orb, The expressive female eye." In it, the changeful emotions of woman's soul are depicted as in a mirror. From it beauis forth the soft languishing look of deaire.like the voluptuous and mellow Bunshmo that precedes the falling of a summer shower the timid, downcast look of love, when the words she delights, yet trembles to hear, have been spoken, and hearts have been irrevocably exchanged the look of calm and pious resignation, when some calamity has befallen her, and she appeals to heaven for succor; the withering glance of hate and defiance, that scathes like lightning or the simoom. Yes, the female eye lias a greater power of attraction aud repulsion than a loadstone or a torpedo. We have now established two points beyond the reach of dispute and the first is, that beauty is tho Creator's best gift and the second, that this gift has been bestowed to woman and her only. If the BCiilptor wishes to embody his conception of the beautiful in a permanent form, he sets about carving a statue woman, and Venus de Medici" is the most perfect specimen of the sculptor's art.

The poet, too, in delineating the beau tics of the ideal world, draws hiB images from the exhaustless store house of woman's charms and Byron wished that the "desert were his dwelling place" if the elements would but award him one female spirit to keep him company. I do not deny that there may be some beauty, comparatively speaking, in man, and even other of nature's productions, but woman alone is beauty in perfection "For natare swears the lovely dears first in her work she classes, Her 'prentice hand she tried on man, Aim men sne maae me lasses Paddy. Mr, Seba Smith's Lecture. Mr.Sba Smith, who proposes to lecture this evening af the Female Academy, is the original Jack Downing, and all our readers know him as a pleasant and amusing writer. He appears in a new but not lees inter esting character.

He comes before us to explain, some new principles in a science which has hitherto been regarded as abstruse, but which he hopes to make more aimple. It is ajmistake.however.to suppose that none but mathematicians will be able to understand Mr. Smith. On the other hand his lec ture is for the ear of the popular audience aB much as for men of science, hiB explanations not being technical, but suited to the plainest mind. Outside Matters.

Daring and Ingenious Act of Robbery. Last evening at seven o'clock, a most ingenious and daring act of robbery was perpetrated at the jew ely store of Welsh St Paine, 282 Greenwich street, New York. Tne entrance to the store is by folding doors, with knobs or bandies attached to each half. A young lad about 12 or 14 years of age, came lo the door and tied the two knobs together with twine, so as to prevent any person opening the door from the inside. He then went deliberately to the window, and smashing it, ran away with two or three watchcB and a piece of Califor niagold.

Several of the watches iu the window were broken by the blow. The very impudence of the act was the means of is escape. One of the owners saw him from the inside, but could do nothing, being a prisoner in his own store, and a crowd collected from hearing the glaBs break, and stood wondeiing at what it waB all about. Meantime, the young robber was gone. So great was the number of persons collected about the store that the owners found it necesscry to close it.

This waB an exploit worthy of the days of Turpin Hon. Daniel Webster is expected in New York this evening, and will remain over till Mundny, when he proceeds lo MarshfieRl. The Picayune says that rumors are afloat in that city of an outbreak in Cuba. One report was that the people had arisen against the authorities, and another that there was a general Negro revolt ine ncayune places some credit in the rumor. Letters received at Savanuah from Cuba say that a largo number of soldiers had deserted and gone to the mountains, aud that some 20 Cubans had gone to join (hem.

Rir.ii Caufktingb. At this season of the year particularly, carpets are always in demand but, in this particular year, the demand bids lair to exceed the supply. Those merchants who gave their orders at the earliest period are of course better supplied than many of their neighbors, who, in the way of givingout their orders, ecenomised too closely. William McGrorty of 38 Fulton street, ijooklyn, and 130 William street, New York, has avoided being caught in tlie dilemma of being short of Block, by having given his orders early and liberally. He is therefore prepared to oirer to his patrons as choice an assortment as any importer or manufacturer in the trade, aud at the lowest possible prices, in it are comprised velvet, and brussels carpeting, together with an immense stock rugs, druggets, stair carpets, pianotorta and table covers, mattings and door mats; in short, auy and every thing needed in that line.
