TUESDAY MORNING.... -.JANUARY 15 Local and Miscellaneous. "Or" and "Asd." In t case before the Vice-Chancellor's Court In London, the construction of a Will depended turned upon the supposed erroneous use of "or" for "and." The Testator said, "I give the sura of 100 to each of the children, grand-children, or other direct descendants of Isaac Solly, who shall be living at the time of my death." 'The question was, whether he meant the children and grand-children of Isaac Solly, or his direct descendnnts one being substituted for the other, or did he mean to give 100 to each of the children and grand-children of Isaac Solly, and all his direct descendants, which would includ the great-children, a large number of whom had come into existence. The question made a difference of $80,000 to the residuary Legatee. The Chancellor decided the word "or" must be cou--straed to. mean "and," by which all great great children were made legatees. Had the testator lived a few month longer there would have been a few of the great great grand children to have been provided for. We are glad to learn that Mr. Samuel Lister, of this city, and all his children, have a legacy in this bequest under the ruling of the Chancellor, each being entitled to 100, making the sum of $3,000. A Slavke Fitted oct is Connecticut. The bark Lamens was seized at New London, on Friday last, under a charge that she had been fitted out for the slave trade and was about to sail for the coast of Africa. She had been prepared ostensibly for a whaling voyage, and was about to sail, but the manner in which she was fitted up was o singular, as to excite suspicion that she was designed for a elaver instead of a whaler. Complaint was made and she was taken into custody by the U. S. Marshal. She had been purchased by strangers, through a ship broker, and the parties concerned in the voyage were unknown in N'ew London. 861" There is quite a run on the City Gallery, 45 Main streut, for those Mclainotypes ; but Mr. Elliott aims to make " the supply equal the demand, and can usually do so. Sometimes, in the afternoon, however, ho has more than he can accommodate, and those who do not wish to wait had better go in the forenoon. -' Mr. u. intends soou to make Photographs the site of life. Th Whale Fishery Its Lossbs. The whale fishery may be likened to a lottery to some it brings wealth, while to other investments iu this hazardous enterprise are but poorly rewarded. It is estimated that the fleet of whale ships to arrive the present year, will result in a loss to their owners of a sum varying but little from one million of dollars. This enormous Ios3 is attributed to various causes the ill-success of the fleet, the fail in the price of oil, the extravagance in fitting, and the bad management of mas ters, in the re-fitting of ships principally at the Sandwich Islands. XSkm A writer in the Atlantic Monthly advocates the use of tea and coffee. " How much resort to stronger stimulants," he remarks, " these innocent beverages prevent, .arm be judged only by the weakness of tami nature, and the vast consumption of both." . This is a point which, to the mere reformer, is entitled to the most serious consideration. '" . : S&m breach of promise case is now on trial at Worcester, Mass., in- which the plaintiff, Miss Mary Ann lloy, alledges that $6,000 will not more than cure the fracture her heart has sustained by not marrying the defendant, ene Peter Morris. Peter replies that he had never promised to marry the fair Mary, and if he did is justified in not fulfilling his promise, because Mary gets very drunk. I Bk Gen. Quitman attributed the cause i of his decline, up to the last moment of his I life to poison, administered to him in the I shape of arsenic, while a resident of the Äational Hotel, in V ashing ton. He used to assert that it was mixed with the sugar, and substanciates this by the fact that during the entire term of the malady, which afterwards assumed the name of the hotel, no i person was taken ill who refrained from the . inse of that article.

BT THE E. W. LTXE.' " " COXGRESSIOXAL. . ", , Washisoton, Jan. 24 p. m. i - Mr. Slidell, from , the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to whom was referred the bill i making appropriations to facilitate the acquisition of Cuba, by negotiation, reported that it is not considered jiecessary by the j Committee to enlarge upon the Vast importance of the acquisition of Cuba. The ne- ! cessity of its acquisition has been rccog- j nized by all parties and administrations, and in regard to which the popular voice has ! been expressed unanimously, as in favor of the purchase and ajnoa Lin of Florida and ; Louisiana, both points with unerring cer tainty of Cuba. What, the possession of the mouth of the Mississippi was to the West, Cuba will' become to the nation, ; Our leading statesmen have endeavored with steadiness and perseverance to hasten the consummation of this project. ' The report here quotes the opinions of Jefferson, Adams, Clay, Van Buren, Buchanan in his dispatches to Sanders Everett in his celebrated letter, Sartige's and Marcy's dispatch to Soule; from these authorities it is manifest that the ultimate acquisition of Cuba has been long regarded not only as desirable, but in e vita- J ble ; the only difference is m the time made and conditions of obtaining it. The law of our national t-xistence is growth, which we cannot disobey, while we should not nndueiy stimulate it, aad should be careful not to impose upon ourselves a regimen so strict as to prevent iu healthy developement. England, France and Austria are all expanding by the same law of progress, and their growth is the absorption of weaker powers while ours is the result of geographical position, higher civilization, and greater aptitude for Government. We have neither the right nor disposition to find fault with this, so let England pursue her annexation in India; France in Africa or the Rhine; let Russia subdue barbarous Asia and we shall look on their progress, if not with favor, at least with indifference. We claim, on this hemisphere, the same privilege. We repeat the acquisition of Cuba is but a question of time ; the fruit that was ripe in Quincy Adams' day is now mature. The question is, shall it be taken by a friendly hand prepared to compensate its proprietor with princely guerdon, or shall it fall to the ground, as Spain cannot long maintain its grasp? .There are but three alternates; first, 1 the possession of Cuba by one of the great European powers,which is incompatible with our safety and must consequently be resisted." Second, the independence of the island which, would result in a protectorate more or less disguised; if under ourselves, an annexation would follow; if under European, civil and servile war would result. Third, if annexation is tho question, how is it to be done ? It can only be answered by conquest or negotiation ; conquest even without the hostile interference of other powers than Spain would be expensive, and with such interference would involve the whole civilized world in war. Purchase, then is the only practicable conrse. But that cannot be attempted unless the President be clothed - with the power to negotiate and pay, as suggested in his message. Much has been said of the danger of confiding such powers to the Executive, but we have three examples, in the purchase of Louisiana, Florida" and New Mexico. Much has been said, also, of the indelicacy, and also that the offer will wound the Spanish pride and be rejected with contempt for many years. Our desire for the purchase of Cuba has been known to the world, we now simply say Spain, you have a distant possession held by precarious tenivre wliicn is almost indispensible to us for the protection of our commerce, and which may, from its peculiar geographical p )sition, the character of its population and the mode in which they are governed, lead ot any time to a rupture which both cations would depricate. This possession yields you a net revenue net amounting, in the average, ef a series of years, the hundredth part of the price we offer. True, you have refused to sell hitherto, but circumstances are changing daily and our offer may now be more acceptable than in 1848. Should war break out in Europe, Spain can scarcely hope to escape being involved in it, and the Cubans may seize the opportunity to claim their independence. Further, our Minister will not broach the subject of purchase till he has reason to believe it will be favorably entertained. Spain is a country of "coups detaes" and pronunciamentos. The Minister of to-day may be a fugitive to-morrow. With the forms of a responsible government, Spain is a despotism, sustained by ihe bayonet. Her financial condition is one of extreme embarrassment, and the dynasty may be overthrown unless a lare sura of money can be raised forthwith. The. President says we -.vould not, if we could acquire except by honorable negotiation, and be will not depart from such a course unless circumstances whifh he dees not anticipate may render a departure justifiable under the emperative and over-ruling law of self-preservation. He thinks that it may be necessary to renew the negotiation and make an advance in" money without awaiting for a ratification by the Senate. This, in point of fact is an appeal to Conjrress for an expres sion of its opinion on the propriety of renewing the negotiation. Should we fail to give him the needs, he will consider it as an intimation that we do not desire the acquisition of the Island. The report then goes on to say that if, as has been said, the Cubans do not desire a transfer, it would be a very serious objection. But the Cubans would be less than men if they are contented with their lot, and the report has the be3t authority for asserting that nearly the entire native population of Cuba desire annexation. The report then proceeds at considerable length to discuss the , bearing of annexation on the slave trade, urging that that illegal traf fic is not confined to Cuba and Porto Rico, and that Spain could have suppressed it as completely as Brazil has done, but she has not done so. Those who desire to exterminate the slave trade may find in the sypathy for the Africans an incentive to support this bill. Then turning around, the report proceeds to relieve the mind of Souther gentlemen of their apprehensions of peril to their institutions from the peculian elements of Southern society. The report further add3 that an accession would increase the comforts of the slave. Next the circumlocution Hisspano Cuban diplomacy is referred to and condemned. Statistics are cited ta show the value of the Island, especially as it would give ns the monopoly of the sugar trade, and finally the purchase is recommended now, as a measure of economy, before ihe - price is raised. Since the reference of the bill to the committee, the President has announced that no correspondence has been exchanged, and he has taken the occasion to repeat that f ny negotiation should receive the piror sanction of Congress. This emphatic reiteration throws upon Congress the responsibility of failure if it be withheld ; indeed the inference is sufficiently elear that without some expression of opinion by Congress, the President will noteel justified in renewing the negotiation. Mason, of Ya said It was perhaps understood that all who concurred in the Com

mittee in the presentation of this report did not concur in some of its recommendations. .The report had stated that it is the policy of this government to extend its dominions by the successive acquisition of territory. 1 He ' did not believe in such doctrine. .

: Washington, Jan. 24 m. Sesate. The first note was from Donglas to Fitch demanding retraction.- The second note was from Fitch reiterating. Douglas . replies with a detained letter explaining and modifying his late gauge, giving it a construction much les3 offensive than originally understood. - Fitch replies, aud his uote will probably settle the affair. The correspondence makes -no allusion, whatever, to Fitch's declaration that Donglas had failed to . prove the charge against Cook, to which he had pledged his honor. . The transaction is looked upon by Douglas and his friends as indicative of the fixed purpose of admonishing men to force him to take a back seat if be comes into the Democratic organization at all, and that they prefer to push him off altogether. It is stated that an early opportunity will be taken in the open session to make an issue with Douglas in reference to his statements about the individual conduct of the administration towards Illinois, and the present proofs of their incompetency. The " war of the Roses' is evidently beginning. The Vice President submitted to the Sen ate an elaborate memorial from the Legislature of Indian, setting- forth that that State is unrepresented in the United States Senate ; and that she has commissioned no other person to represent her therein, except Henry S. Lane and William Monroe McCarty, whom, therefore, the memorialists pray, may be admitted as the Indiana Senators in the Federal Senate. A general desire having been expressed to hear the memorial read, the Secretary commenced reading, bot the great length of the memorial rendered it tedious. On motion of Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, it was referred to the Committee on Judiciary, and ordered to be printed. Seward, of New York, gave notice that ho would to-morrow submit a resolution to give the said Lane and McCarty the privilege of the floor, while their claims to seats were pending. Bigler, of Pa., presented memorials from Pennsylvania in favor of specific duties on iron, coal, io. Cameron presented similar memorials and took occasion te make some sarcastic remarks on the zeal of the President in regard to Kansas affairs, and hopes that he would exercise the same energy in remodelling the tariff which course of action would gain him the confidence of his State. . Bigler replied to bis colleague, and said that he, too, would unite in carrying out the spirit of the resolutions of theLegisIature because he believed that they embodied the sentiments of a majority of his constituents, but he thought the worst friends of a prompt adjustment of the form of a part of his col leagues remarks would tnrow doubt on tne good faith of the executive. - ' : He said at a proper time he would express his views on this subject, at length; and in the meantime he was prepared to treat the tariff question as a question of business affecting the treasury and the great industry of business of the country, without, in any way, making it a question of party. Sbsatb. Mr. Cameron, retorting, referred to the national views recently expressed by Mr. Bigler. . He, himself, admired the feature in Southern gentlemen that they battled bravely for their own State, and if Pennsylvania's Representatives would do as much Congress would grant her all she wanted for her prosperity without further remarks. The memorials were referred. Houss. On motion, the House took up Stephen's resolution, setting apart the two first days in February, for the consideration of Territorial business. Morgan, of New York, said he could not consent unless a proviso was added, to exclude the question as to the admission of new States. Phillips replied that there was only one State applying for admission into the Union. He desired to take np the Oregon bill as soon as practicable. He was willing that Mr. Morgan should offer an amendment, as he has indicated, after the rules shall have been suspended to admit the resolution. -' Morgan dissented: be said he wanted the provision added now. The House refused to suspend the rules ; the votes standing, yeas 105, nays 71 ; a two-third vote being required to carry the measure. Mr. Keleey obtained leave to introduce a resolution, which was adopted, limiting the debate on private bills to two speeches of five minutes on each bill. St. Louis, Jan. 24 p. u.

Late discoveries have increased- the faith in the richness of the gold fields.
