. EVENING STAR. THE WEEKLY for the week ending to-day, is rich and varied in ita contents of foreign and domestic matter, including important intelligence of the several Executive Departments of the Government, and brief tales, anecdotes, ete. Terms: $1.25 ® year, or three cents a single number. PER eat PRS. Tei SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union announces the fact that the Hon. Mr. Etheridge, of Tennessee, was elected to Congress under a pledge to entirely change his policy, as s member, upon the Nebraska bill, against which he voted On its enactment; and also publishes « letter from the Hon. Mr. Wat- kins, of the same State, the successful com- Petitor of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, wherein that gentleman makes it plain that he will act with the Democrats in the next Congress. In this letter, he simply reiterates the sentiments which the Star attributed to him at the time of the Tennessee election. The disclosure of the pledges given by Mr. Etheridge, referred to above, shows that we have been correct in our declaration, oft repeated, that, on the meeting of Congress, it will tarn out that the policy of the Nebraska bill, and, indeed, the general policy of the Administration, is to be much stronger in the House than the unin- itiated conceive. Every Tenntssee member is, for instance, against the re-enactment of the Missouri restriction, and against disturbing the Nebraska bill; all of them standing, now, straight up to its principle. In the last Con- gress, there were four Tennessee votes against the measure. This change is equivalent to a gain of eight yotes for it. Even Col. Hunt, of Louisiana, than whom it had no more deter- mained opponent on its enactment, is now pro- claiming bis determination to vote against dis- turbing it in any way, as we understand his declarations made on the stump. The Intellagencer thus discourses upon the Jate ero straight Whig Convention: “The hes and letters eminent then who shared in the poner pease and national assemblage 8 ave & prominent place in the po- litical annals of the country, and we take plea- sure in inviting for them a calm and Trespect- ful consideration. Both the time and the oc- casion are appropriate for this great Whig Movement in @ State whose former fair fame had been somewhat tarnished by the recent madness of fanaticism in its legislative coun- cils; and thousandsof patriotic hearts will re- spond to the concluding sentiment of the Teso- Jutions of the convention, that, if a fusion of a = np poe iots i iar 2 atri the land to rescue the rand peach both eountry from the assaults of sectional fanatics.” The Intelligencer’s New York correspond- ent says of the great meeting of the straight Whigs of New York city on Wednesday night last : “ The attendance was large and in the high- setts apie Ge a en and @ him: very forci! Py sition to fusion. The Hon. pn Terske Spoke at length in the same strain. A patriotic address was adopted denouncing the traya) of the party to mock Democrats and Abolition. ists anderthe guise of Republicanism, and call- ing on the true Whigs of the State to rally upon the old time honored and consecrated principles of —ae Webster, and prove that they are not to sectional fered up. to the same effect, repudiating the recent acti Syracuse and the ticket nominated teens and calling on the Whigs of New York to in State Convention at Constitution Hall, in this city, on Tuesday, 28d inst., to take such measures as may be deemed advisable to main- tain their integrity and their honor. An ear- nest and en tone pervaded the meet- ing, and important results must ensue from The prominent participation of James Brooks in the affair, is evidence that the Know Nothing eat is trying to getat the bottom of that meal tab—we apprehend. ———_-___ Tum Oxarion.—Kirkwood & McGill have just published the oration delivered in this city ou the last anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, by the Hon. RH. Gillett, which they have for sale St the Bookstores. As a statesman-like com- position it is a capital paper indeed, and will be read by all, much to the advantage and erudition of the readers. £¥H The statistical tables of mortality show s reduction in this country of the proportion of deaths from pulmonary diseases. Dr. Ayer attributes this rerult to the effect of his Cherry Peetoral. He also asserts that the cures from dis Cathartio Pills give reason to believe they will, as they come into more general use, ma- terially reduce the mortality from those par- oular diseases for which they are designed. From what we know of his preparations we think be has grounds for his claims, and if he has, it is an attainment of which an emperor might be proud. Rarely is it permitted any one man to know that his skill is bestowing health and life to the masses of his fellow men. Bach a reflection is worth working for, even though he had only the reflection for his re- ward.—Spring field Daily Courier. Tus Brack Warnion Ixpeusity.—The steamer Black Warrior, which arrived at New York om Thursday brought $50,000 from the b) Government, as an indemnity to . Livingston, Crocheron & Co., for the. detention of their veesel (the Black Watrio; ) at Havena about eighteen months ago. it will be remembered that the authorities at Havana seized the ee not complying with @ port regulation, which had been obsolete for a long time, bnt which they had suddenly pat in operation. Axorner Murpgnovs Row—One Man éill- od and Two Others wounded.—On Thursday evening, about 8 o’clook, a row occurred at ‘the coruer of Baltimore and Pearl streets, be- ‘tween & party of Know Nothings, hailing un- ‘der the name of Rip Reps and &@ party of Democrats, which, however, did not result in any serious; but at about 12 o'clock, as as the Eighteenth Ward Democratic Associa- ‘tion was returning from the mass meeting at the Washington Monument, while passing the — of ee and Ene Sores, they were fired u neo pay ing upon corner, said to be of the club Bat 5 and who metreated to the headquarters of this party, after the assanit. Some twenty shots were Bred, one of them causing the death of Thomas , who wasin the procession. One ball entered his forebead immediately over the left eye, and lodged in his head, another was — in hisleg. He was immediately taken to the Lombard street Infirmary, where he ex- pired in about twenty minutes.

The Collier Case.—Ths following is the re- Port of the New York Journal of Commerce, presenting the decision of thé United States. Court, for the southern district of New York, in the Collier case, concerning which so much has appeared in newspapers in the course of the last year: eS a “Unirgp States Crecurr_ Covrt—before Judges Nelson and Betts.—Decision—The United States vs. James Collier, Collector of the Port of Ban Prasslanec-Thia was a suit - recover a amount of mo: a have Deve, recplven by the defendant i capacity of , and owing to the Uni As a set off to this claim, the defend- ant made a claim for several sums which he alleged he was entitled to, and denidd his lia- bility for other moneys which were receivéd in his office. The Court decided that the de- fendant is not entitled to a credit for the moie- PA of $28,000, received as additional duties of cent. ad valorem, under the 8th section of the Tariff act of July 30th, 1846 ‘The de- fendant is not liable for the $8,110 which was received by the Deputy Collector, and which was stolen from him, without default on his pass or that of the Collector The defendant entitled to a credit for $34,915 42, being a — of the nett proceeds of the liquors sei and sold for a violation of the revenue laws. The defendant is not entitled to a credit for the moiety of $24,000 secured by bonds gived upon the value of vessels seized for a violation of the revenue laws; the defendant is entitled to a credit as a compensation for his services as collector to the amount of $1,500 pr. annum, and the fees and commissions al- lowed by law, without limitation or restriction, under the 4th section of the act of March 3d, 1844, from the date of his appointment under the said act, and during the continuance of his services, as such collector, down to the 14th of January, 1852, when he surrendered the eustom-house to T. Butler King, who then ap- and took sion of the same, and entered upon the discharge of the duties of the office as collector under the act of September 20tb, 1850, which organized the Territory of California into six collection districts, and pro- vided for the appointment ¢f acollectorin each district. The question of intent is reserved until the account is stated between the Goy- ernment and the defendant.’? This decision, if adopted by the Supreme Court of the United States, will, of course, greatly reduce the balance owed by Collier to the Government, though it will not liquidate it. We hear that it is the intention of the Government to carry the case up to the Supreme Court, and that the suit was commenced to the end of taking it there for final adjudication, if the cleims of the Treasury Department were disallowed in any of their important par- ticulars. Tt will be perceived that the District Court decides that he (Collier) is entitled to a mo‘e'y of the value of certain liquors seized by him and confiscated for a violation of the revenue laws., The owners of the liquors in question Proved to the satisfaction of Congrezs that they had been illegally and improperly seized, and a law was passed directing that they should be paid back their full value. which it is said was actually being done while the Dic- trict Court were awarding to Mr. C. a moiety of their value for illegally and improperly seizing them—and thus deciding that he shal; profit by his own wrong act! We mention this fact only by illustrating the occasional vagaries of the law. The Result, so far—The promulgation of the America’s news in extenso, is causing thoughtfal men to stare over the result of the war on the condition of England and Prance. In those countries, so great is the danger from the shortness of crops, that the commercial pa- pers are beginning to hint of coming starva- tion among their millions, unless the United States can furnish them with quite forty mil- lions of bushels of wheat. While we are happy to know that there need be no uneasiness as to our capability to do that thing, we are struck with the evidence of governmental in- sanity involved in the danger to which we re- fer above. The Intelligencer computes that the Allies have sent from five to six hundred thousand men to the Crimea. Certainly more than enough of these have been taken from the labor of growing breadstuffs in France and England to account for the deficiency in their crop of forty millions of bushels of wheat. These governments have also cut their sub- jects off from the Russian markets for their manufactures, which were of very great im- portance to them; while they have also de- prived them of their main supplies of hemp, duck, tallow, &c., &c., used in their manufac- tures, which were of little importance to their continued prosperity. And they have further cut off the supply of grain for which western and southern Europe were accus- tomed to look to the Criméa, the granary of the Old World, without which, competing in the market, the prices to be paid by the people of England and France for the grain they must buy this season must be enor- mous, without taking into. consideration the diminution of their actual means of buying, by the war taxes. In the meanwhile the ac- tual means of living of the Russians are not impaired by the war. On the contrary they are practically increased, because the Allies having blockaded all the Russian ports of ex- port. Russia’s surplus wheat, always enor- mous, lies rotting for want of consumers, her population not being sufficient te consume all of it. The Allies, by the by, as if by way of giving stronger proofs of their virtual insani- ty, seem to have made it a rule to wantonly destroy as much Russian wheat as they could lay their hands on, instead of shipping it to Balaklays and Constantinople, and clsewherg where they have troops in the Crimea. The Aqueduct.—Our fellow.citizens may not expect that the appropriation by Congress for the continuation of the work on the Govern- ment Aqueduct, to be made in the next session of Congeess, alll not be directly and indirect- ly opposed fi considerable corps of lobby members interested in individual schemes for works in its place, out of the construction of which they may hope to make money. While we have no idea that the opposition to this sppropriation, of so great interest and import- ance to the people of the District of Colymbia, will be as vehement and active as before, it will nevertheless be necessary for them to be on the alert to expose to the Members the sin- ister motives of those who may strive to injure the District in this matter. Nine-tenths of all the trouble which Washington and George- town experienced before the last Congress, with reference to the Aqueduct, grew out of want of attention and concert of action among our fellow-citizens. A word to the wise should be sufficient. Settled Up.—A. @. Allen, Esq , late Navy Agent here, a portion of whose funds, it was said, was involved in the failure of Selden, Withers & Co., has settled his account as late Mavy Agent and Pension Agent by paying up his admitted balances, and retaining only a commission for euditing end paying certain extra pay granted to officers, seamen, and marines in the Pacific, during and subsequent to the Mexican war, similar to that charged eee ~v by his predecessor, Mr. Lathrop. A civil suit having been entered against Mr. L., Mr. Allen retains the sum charged by him to await the issue of this suit. } Appointed. —The President has appointed James M. Lowe Esq., of Iowa, U. 8. District Judge for Iowa, and Josiah Pierce, jr., of Portland, Me., Seoretary of Legation at St. named is dead; and, of the last, has resigned. Also, A. M. Jackson, of Miss., to be U. 8.

From Customs..ssesscccssesceses The Epidemic at Norfolk and Portsmouth. We are happy to learn, by way of Peters- burg, that the yellow fever has ceased to ex- ist as an epidemic in Norfolk and Portsmouth. -The impression of the physicians, however, is that it is owing to the want of material which has caused the great diminution in the number of deaths, and prevented the spread of the disease. They warn absentees not to return until after some very severe weather. In Norfolk, for the twenty-four hours end- ing on Wednesday evening, there were five deaths. Miss Susan Southgate is among the dead. The reported death of Wm. G. Brock, late of this city, of yellow fever, near Norfolk, is incorrect—a ietter from Mr. B. having been received here conveying this gratifying news tohis friends. He has recovered from an at- tack of the fever. The following is the report of the Howard Tofirmary, from August 25th to September 30th when it was virtually closed : Number admitted—white, 193; colored, 69— total, 262. Died—white, 90; colored, 9—total, 99 Discharged, 163. There were buried in one pit 32; in another, 27; and in another 23; also, 18 inone. Ten bodies were buried in three cases, black and white together. A Norfolk letter of the 3d, in the Richmond Dispatch, says: “Physicians gay it will be very hazardous to return until frost; some say until the forma- tion of ice. One or two families have ven- tured home, and several have sickened and died already since they came. ‘The fever that has raged here and left our city so deeply afflicted and enshrouded it in gloom, is fearfully malignant and awful in its character—frequently entirely unm: ble by the best medical skill. Attacking the strong as well as the weak, it often runs its rapid course in two or three days, and the body, a ar wreck of what it was, falls a loathsome, , putri mast be rele eo ss ‘*It is a disease that should be dreaded and avoided if possible. It has crushed, and is still oppressing so many families and filling up 89 many hearts with sorrow and gloom, that ita final departure from us is most earnestly to be desired: and those who are now beyond the reach of its terrible should remain until advised by experienced physicians to re- tere.” "* - Another letter from Norfolk of the same date, in the Petersburg Express, says: ‘« No new cases have come to my knowledge within the last twenty-four hours, and as far as I can learn, all the sick are doing well with a few exceptions. ‘““Market Square is resuming the appear- ance that it was wont to present before the oceurrence of fever. Nearly all the stores situated on it are open, which is cheering sign of better times coming. Our citizens now absent, will soon be enabled to return, and unite their efforts with those who have remained, to restore Norfolk to her former prompertty. ‘The weather to-day is quite cool, with a Strong northwest wind blowing, and every prospect of a heavy frost to-night.”’ PORTSMOUTH. From Portsmouth, we have confirmation of the statement of our correspondent, published yesterday, that there had not been a single death for the twenty-four hours ending on Wednesday. Coming as it does, in a letter to the Petersburg Express, from a distinguished physician of Portsmouth, and a member of the sanitary committee, the information can be relied on. A correspondent of the Petersburg Express writes from Weldon, on the 4th, as follows: “T am truly gratified to state that the tidings from the fever district’ to‘day are de- cidedly favorable; and if the weather continues clear and cool as it is at present, the news-will continue to be favorable. “The physicians all advise absentees not to be too soe in returning, as there is still danger to be incurred. * ‘The news from Norfolk for the last forty eight hours represent seven deaths, and no new cases. “For the forty-eight hours ending this morning at 8 o’clock, there has been but one death in Portsmouth, and two new cases. One of the new cases is Dr. W. 8. Hungerford, of Baltimore.’’ New Yor« Porrics —The “Soft Shells” met at Tammany Hall on Thursday night, when the following nominations were made: Azariah C. Flagg, Comptroller; and Samuel Allen, Street Commissioner. The old line Whigs, at a meeting on the same evening, adopted an address and resolu tions, repudiating the ‘‘Fusion’’ movement at Syracuse, and calling for a Whig nominating Convention, to be held in the city of New York on the 23d instant. a The State Temperance Convention, held at Utica on the 34 instant, agreed to support the ‘Fusion’’ nominees for Attorney General and Judges of the Court of Appeals, those candi- dates being pledged prohibitionists, and, if ‘elected, would be instrumental in enforcing the Maine law. .
