THE JOURNAL. WELLNESDAr MORNING, MAY 10. Irish Unions in New York. We see by ihz papers that the recent meeting of the Irish republican union at Palmer's Opera House N. Y. was numerously attended, at which the process of the enrolment, and receiving subscriptions for avowed purpose of sending men.and arms to Ireland, was continued. The collections were received in a crimson liberty cap, on the end of a pole, and amounted to 165 67, making with the sum on hand, S345 67. In order to proceed legally and unmolested in their purpose, they proposed to appoint a committee to forward a remonstrance to Congress against the act now in force, prohibiting the fitting out of any military arrangement, against the dominions of any foreign state, in time of peace. Another society termed the New York Irish confederation, recently held a meeting for similar purposes.

CGYVe call attention to the advertisement of Ma.. Joseph P. Elliott in another column Our friend Jo. has recently largely increased his stock of saddlery ware, and is now able to offer inducements to country dealers in his line that must win him customers. He keeps constantly employed a number of the best workmen, and furnishes to order and at the shortest notice every article in his line from a pair of bridle reins up to a spring seat saddle or a set of harness. Jo. is one of the cleverest fellows alive industrious, accommodating, and generous in his dealings. Such a man is bound to have customers. A Female Convict. Elizabeth Barbour was tried week before last at the Perry, la., Circuit Court, (Judge Lockhart presiding,) upon an indictment for mixing poison with drink, and administering it to Mrs. Nancy M"Guffey, with intent to kill. The defendant was found guilty, and sentenced to two yearsconfinement in the State Prison. The poison used was corrosive sublimate. We learn that Mistress Elizabeth is the only female confined in our State Prison. : 1 KorosED Chanoe. Lver since we com menced the publication of our Daily Paper we have beet hard at work endeavoring to cypher out some plan to enable the hands in our office to rest from their labors on the Sabbath, and we have at last, we think, hit upon one that will do it, prov ided there is no objection to it by our subscribers. As at present arranged we are compelled to set the type and do the press work of Monday morning's paper on Sunday and Sunday nights, lor it would not answer to print Monday's paper oh Saturday; by that arrangement we would be unable to keep up with the news, and our issue for Monday would be stale and uninteresting. But, as we have said above, we have hit on a plan that will enable all hands to have a rest day on the Sabbath, and still accommodate our patrons with the latest intelligence, and that is to issue our paper on Sunday instead of Monday. We have no doubt that this arrangement will meet wiih the approval of every subscriber. In case we make the change the only work that will be performed by anyone connected withouroffice on Sunday, will be the delivery of the paper which, as it will be done early ia the mornings, will not interfere with the exercises of the day and will also enable the youths in the office to attend Sunday School. . Should any important news arrive on Sun-dayeithf-r by mail or boats, it will be issued to our subscribers inan extra freeof charge, as soon on Monday as it can be put in type. We shall not make the change proposed unless it meets with approval from all our patrons. We hold ourselves bound to consult eir wishes before our own easo and comfort, and we hope that those who are unfriendly to the measure will signify it to us or to the carriers during the week. Died. On Sunday evening last, Ma. Nehiah Baekes, an old and respected citizens of this place. His death was most sudden and unexpected. But a moment before he expired he was conversing with his friends who had called on him, and rejoicing with them on the prospect of returning heallh. On their rising to leave, and going as far as the door, they were called back by the nurse who noticed a BU'lden change in him, and returned just in time to witness his spirit take its departure. His remains were attended to the grave on ye4tor lay evening by the Divisions of the Sons of Temperance of this city, of which he was an exemplary member. Peace to his ashes. fjT" We see by the St. Loui3 papers that the Polish exiles about that city have published card inviting all their countrymen in the south and west, to join them in returning to their country, tq help sustain the flag of Liberty which has been raised in their father-land. Money will be furnished to those who are un able to raise the means fqr the voyage them selves. This is the right kind of patriotism i ac ectitorol tne lerre Haute oppress says that a day or two since he heard au Intelligent German wish the means were within his reach to return home that he would soon be there and sec his brethren free, or spend another five years hi prison, for the sake of German repub licanism. Many of our Irish population have the same patriotic feelings. With them, we wish republican liberty to extend itself pea ceably, if possible, all over the globe. Hered itary rules are not needed by the times, in any country. fXlT'We learn from the N. O. Mercury that the schooner Belie at that port brought over from th.: Rio Grande the following pieces of ordnance: Four pieces condemned from Bragg's Battery ; five Mexican guns, captured at Buena v :sta ; one ot the latter, at tne battle men tioned, received a ball in its muzzle, which took out about three-eights of an inch, and lodged in the chamber of the gun.

Gen. Scott. The distinguished leader of

our army in Mexico had not arrived at New Orleans at the latest dates from that city. The Delta of the 3d inst., had learned that orders were in the City, which would probably detain Gen. Scott in Mexico longer than he expected. Those, orders relate to some matters before the Court of Inquiry, which will have to be investi gated in Mexico. Itwas originally Gen. Scott's intention to proceed immediately from Vera Cruz to New York, by sea, and to avoid as much as possible all public parade and display. But as there are no steamers in Vera Cruz, destined for New York he will no doubt be compelled to come to New Orleans. The good people of that city are rejoicing over the accident which will enable them to display to the laurelled chief, the deep gratitude, and warm admiration which they entertain for his splendid services. Gen. Lane. Mr. Cist, editor of the Advertiser, Cincinnati, says the following handsome things of our "Marion." Gen. Jo Lane, we mean for by that name is he best known at home and familiarly approached by all is as Mr. Cist describes him, a true speeimen of the backwoodsman one whom we Hoosiers are proud of, not for his military fame alone, but for his kindness of heart, his honesty, integri ty and indomitable energy just such an one as we are willing to be measured by.and whom it were well worth a travel of fifty miles to see, as he might have been seen a few days ago on his farm. Had Mr. Polk appointed Lane Major General instead of Pillow, the dis graceful scene lately enacted in the city of Mexico would never have taken place. But to what Mr. Cist says: "it 1 were to select a line specimen ot a backwoodsman, it should be Joseph Lane. would take a foreigner, if in my power, fifty miles to visit Lane, as an admirable illustra tion of the workings of our political and social institutions. "I know nothing of his early history, and presume it to be that of thousands in the west I know him only as a farmer and a wood mer chant, on the banks of the Ohio, in which cha racter 1 first made his acquaintance. He came on board the S. B. Andrew Jackson, to receive pay for a lot of wood sold the boat, and was introduced to me by Capt. Eckert. He wore a blanket, and his general appearance was that of a backwoodsman, but 1 had not conversed with him five minutes, before 1 set him down as a man of no ordinary cast. "Later, and more intimateacquaintance con firmed my judgement, and in his late military career in Mexico, he has shone conspicuous for gallantry and good conduct, even in the galaxy of heroes which the war with Mexico has brought to public notice. Our Akmt in Mexico. The following are extracts from a letter dated "City of Mexico, April 8," to the editor of the N. 0. Bulletin. The editor says: "We have seen other communications which speak in strong terms of the growing demoralization of our army in Mexico:" We are beginning to reap the fruits of the idleness and demoralization which have been growing up here amongst our officers and troops. The robberies and murders, that were prevailing in the neighborhood of the city, are transferred within the. wall, and house breaking and robbing individuals in the streets are b no means uncommon. Any observing, reflecting person, long since would have known, that the gambling and debaucheries that prevail here amongst the American officers to a great extent, must necessarily terminate in degradation to themselves, and mortification to their friends. A great responsibility rests somewhere, for the outrages that are committed here against the welfare of So ciety. From Mexic ). We are indebted to the clerk of the Saladian for New Orleans papers of the 1st inst. We have no material change to no tice in me mantei. mere nad been an arrival from Vera Cruz with six days later intelli gence. The following is the most important intelligence received. Prospects or Peace. There is much reason to lear that it would be impossible to assemble a quorum of the Mexican Congress at the seat of Government. The absentees arrive ve'ry slowly. The Arcp Iris, of the 20th ult., says that at a preparatory meeting ot Deputies held atQ,ae.reiaru, ou uie iuin uu., u was resolved 1. lhat those Deputies who were not mesent should be called upon, and if they still continued to aosent tnemselves, the Governor ot the estates from which they were elected should be informed, and they should be pubusneu in an tne newspapers. a. mat those gentlemen who answered the first call should be again written to. informing them that the number necessary to form a quo rum is very smau, oniy tneir presence Demgne cessarv to complete it. J. lhat the substitute who was appointed from Vera Cruz, in place of Sr. Conto. who was elected senator, be notified. 4. That the substitute for Sr. Solana from Jalisco, who waschosen to represent Zacatecas, De a iso called upon. The same paper of the 17th ult. says: "Various persons write to us from Qjieretarothat the disorders committed by the officers are insuffer able, and the soldiers have become so infected with their pronunciamiento mania, that a cer tain very well known general, who possesses the confidence of the government asserts, that as soon as the Yankees have left, he will pro nounce against tne federation. The Free American, of the 21st ult.. has the following remarks on the prospects of peace: We see nothing, as yet, to change our opin ion in regard to the doubts which we have al ways manifested about the probability of the ratification ot the treaty by the Mexican Con gress. We announced, a few days ago, that we nad conversed with a gentleman trom Mex ico, who was of opinion that the members of Congress would not vote lor the treaty as rati fied at Washington. -We have since seen two letters from influential men one at Queretaro, the other at Mexico-who coincide with the opinion of the gentleman in Question. Another letter says, that should the members of Congress violate the Constitution of Mexico, by ceding any part of the territory, the same members will nave to asK the United States to leave force of several thousand men to keen order in the Republic. The writer is of opinion that so soon as the American troops will embark for the United States, the Government will be overthrown, and that new causes for war will be given to the UnitedStates by the people of . l . . . rrt iL . . , mis country. iiieseaiB uie opinions emitted by the letter-writers, and such opinions are sometimes as worthy ot consideration as news paper paragraphs.

VERY LATE FROM CALIFORNIA. Sailors turned Soldiers! We are indebted to the New Orleans Com

mercial Times for the following interesting sketch of the recent exploits of our gallant na vy on the Pacific. San Jose, (Cape of Lower California,) Mar. 15. You are prepared to learn of my being on board the Cyane ere this reaches you. I joined ller just as Commodore Shubrick commenced operations against Mazatlan, Guay mas and San Bias. Our ship, after performing good service at Mazatlan in various expeditions by landand water, was sent to La Paz, 120 miles up theb Gulf of California, on the Colifornia side, where Lieut. Cononel Burton, with 120 New York Volunteers, were stationed. On our way to Mazatlan, (prior to its cap ture,) a party of 30 men and 4 officers, with two 9-pounders, were landed from the squadron, with orders to keep our nag flying at aan Jose. The officer commanding this detachment was Lieut. Haywood; they quartered in two houses constructed with mud walls, at right angles with each other, in the strogest position in the town. Soon after Lieut. Haywood was quartered, an attack was made upon his small force, as also upon Lieut. Colonel Burton's at La Paz. Had any kind of fortune favored the Californian cause in San Jose, Lieut. Haywood, with all his men, must have fallen into the enemy's hands 30 men were opposed to 150 men, their fort simply two houses, the windows and doors at that time entirely unprotected, save by light shutters and door work. The Californiaiis had 2 pieces of cannon. Fortunately for our cause, the leader of the Mexican forces was shot in the first firing: this caused them to waver, and finally to break up their position from before Mr. Haywood's post. Lieut.-Colohel Burton had over 100 Yankees, who are at any time equal to 500 Mex icans, and he had no difficulty in keeping off 400, headed by Pinada, the chief, and a regular officer. In the mean time the sloop-ol-war Portsmouth was sent to the relief Lieut. Haywood, and 10 men more were added tohiscommand; the garrison strengthened by connecting the two houses witn anign wan; tne doors Dastioned, windows filled in, and provisions stocked for 40 or 50 days. He had no water, how ever, in either yard the nearest was pistol shot from the post. While the sloop of-war Portsmouth remain ed, all was quiet, though the anemy were 500 to 600 strong under Pinada himself, 200 of them n.ounted (you know how famous these Californians are for riding, going at full speed pick ing up a bat from the ground even a piece of money 1 have seeu them snatch up as the horse was in motion,) was known to be within 20 miles. As soon as the Portsmouth sailed, the enemy made their appearance. They were again frightened off by two whalers, who passed off for ships ot war; furling sails together, and firing guns &c. ' After a time, provisions grew scarce in the little garaison, and it became necessary to send to us at La Paz. Orders had to come from Commodore Shubrick, before we could (the naval party) leave Col. Burton; in the mean time, they succeeded in obtaining a few pro visions from an American schooner in the bay. Vessels cannot approach nearer than two miles to San Jose. A party ot two officers and nve men were surprised and taken prisoners, one of them Passed Midshipman Duncan, whom you know; 150 men on horseback took these few men from Mr. Haywood's command. Pin ada- then sat down, before the little host, with all his force of about 600 men, and as many as 1000 without arms, but s'ho stood by to relieve. Among this array was a tribe of Indians called lacas, irom Mexico. Mr. Haywood had with him one officer and 30 Americans and 20 California Volunteers. The enemy built two batteries to command our watering place. Be hind these batteries were stationed some 20 men, to fire upon our men whenever they came outforwater. Pinada intended to starvethem out. Passed Midshipman J. McLanahan and two men were killed the day before we arrived. The garrison had now but one week's pro vision left, and starvation was staring them in the face; still they were invincible. It was dark when our ship (dispatched to their relief) came to anchor; we hoisted out our boats, and were ordered to land at early daylight, as we did not know the road up to the town, two and a halt miles distant. We knew also that the enemy were in strong posi tion at this place awaiting us. Lieutrlay wood on our arrival was engaged with them, firing his cannon and musketry until midnight. At early dawn we landed 102 men, all told (7 officers) 2 boys as standard bearers. Among our number were o marines, lhe rest of our marine force had been stationed on shore some time previous. The remainder of our little ar my were all sailors. We took one 3-pounder this was our torce. I had the command of the -gun with 6 men given me. ve had to pass through low, thick bushy ground, and a village called vincente, having about 20 houses with mud walls. In this place our party received the first fire of the enemy. As the ground was well selected, we made up our minds to have the hght there. So at it we went, in the best manner Jack knew how. The musket balls and grape rattled about like hail we were in an ambuscade. 1 play ed grape shot from my small piece into the village, abovtoU yards distant. lhe enemy shortly retreated, mounting their horses and flying in all directions; they would stand to fire, run off, load, then return and fire again: Being mounted they possessed great advantages over our party, together with the knowledge they had ot the localities, tor there were no less than 5 places on our march where 500 men could lain hid, and fired upon us at their pleasure. We drove about 100 out of the town, where they had been firing upon Lieut. Haywood's party, with but two men slightly wounded, (aud also 500 to 600 from their own ground.) We killed trom 20 to dl), and marched over very difficult road, two and a half miles, figh mg every inch ot the way, in about a hours (on the march,) and relieved our comrades. The enemy sent us a flag of. truce, to ask for an armistice tor the night, to lookup their missing; the officer said that about 350 to 400 were in the fight. ... Now, what do yon think of "Jack Tar", as a soldier? The enemy have not been seen since, and are 20 to 30 miles up the valley of San Jo seph. Y e are about to exchange some of Penada's officers for passed Midshipman Dnncan and Warley. We have many more prisoners than the enemy. Does not Haywood deserve praise for holding out against such odds as he did? In the armv he would be promoted for his conduct. The navy has had but little to do in this war: save our squadron. If we had more ships we would long ago have taken Acapulco. The Department forgets in looking over the charts of this coast, that Francisco and Mazatlan are about 900 miles apart. Report sayt that Commodore Jones in tends taking Tipec, by orders from our Govern ment. Now we cannot possibly do more than hold the places on the sea-board. 1 he Mexi can army at Tipec is not far from 15,000 strong we could not march with more than bUU men even after the arrival of the Ohio.

From the Louisville Journal. CrSomeof the Northern Locofoco editors have spirit enough to declare against the resolutions adopted by the Locofoco conventions in Alabama and Virginia. These resolutions, it will be remembered, pledge the delegates to the Baltimore convention from those Statesto oppose the nomination of all men for the Presidency and vice Presidency who do not openly declare their hostility to the doctrine that either Congress or the people residing in territories can exclude slavery from territories. The N.

: Evening Post in noticing these resolu tions says: Have those who thus make allegiance to slavery an indispensible qualification for the Presidency reflected that if this compulsive purgation of the candidate from all suspicion of dislike to slavery may help him at the South it is likely to hinder him at the North? If they insist upon giving us a candidate with this test in his mouth, cannot they see that we shall certainly return him upon their hands? They declare that they will support no man who does not submit to make, the abjuration they require. WE SHALL SUPPORT NO MAN WHO MAKES IT. To insist upon thinew qualification for their candidate, is to insist that he shall not be elected. In a subsequent number of the same paper, the editor returns to the subject, and says: We should be glad to know among what class of people the Southern politicians expect to obtain votes in the Northern "States for the candidate who comes fettered with such a pledge. If the candidate be a Southern man, it is true he might give such an assurance without the suspicion of making a dishonest profession; but the invitation to vote for him would be regarded by the Northern Democrats as a direct insult as an assertion of Southern authority, in the imposition of political tests, which they would indignantly repel. Party attachment will carry men to great lengths.but there are limits to what the most zealous partisans in a free country will endure. The Democrats of the North would say to those who required this ignominious acknowledgement of subserviency "Go tell your slave how choleric you are, And make your bondmen tremble" but they would remind them that beyond the precincts of their own plantations their prerogative of authority was at an end. If, on the other hand, a Northern man were to take thi3 oath of allegiance to slavery in order to qualify himself to become the candidate of the South, he would be regarded as one who had made a public sale of himself. He would come before the people with an advertisement of venality written in staring characters on his forehead. Such a candidate, deprived as he would be of all public respect, and shrinking from the public contempt, would meet with an infinitely worse reception from the people than if he were a citizen of the South. This is very plain language indeed. It is too intelligible to admit of misconstruction, and we have no doubt it will find a response in the heart of nearly every Northern man. The editor of the Augusta Age, the leading Locofoco paper in Maine, in the course of some indignant remarks on the resolutions of the Alabama convention, says: Such arrogant assumptions will wholly fail to remove irom the minds of Northern men the strong aversion now entertained towards the Institution of slavery, and cannot fail to react upon those who indulge them with fatal enect. The Democracy of the North will go into that convention upou no terms of inequality. Nor will they consent to have their representatives or other members of the party" proscribed and excluded irom posts ot honor or influence, in consequence of having given free utterance to the sentiments and principles ot the isortn up on this subject. The New York Globe, another strong Loco foco paper is fierce in its pppositition to the resolutions. It declares: The South will have to abandon this rickety platform. The idea that the sovereign power as regards slavery in territory, resides exclu sively in the slaveholding postion ot the union and that the Northern section of the confederacy, the people of the teiritory, or the people of the whole Union, through Congress have no voice in the matter, will never stand lor a moment. The South, so far as Alabama, South Caroli na, and Virginia are concerned, assert that they will not abandon the "platform" they have proposed, and that if the North refuses to adopt it, they will not co-operate with the people of that section. On this subject therefore the Locofocos of the North and South are at loggerheads. One of the factions must back out from its position, or there must be discord. We shall see which of the two exhibits most facility in the very fashionable business of . crawfishing. On the "vexed question" of slavery it is ex tremely probable the Locofoco national convention will exhibit much discord. The ultra Locofocos of the North and South cannot easily unite on any candidate. The sentiments of the leading Presidential aspirants - are well known, and not one of thern comes up to the full measure of pro-slavery faith required by Alabama resolutions. Messrs. Cass, Dallas, and Buchanan have all committed themselves to doctrines that are repudiated as utterly un sound and unconstitutional by the authors of the resolutions. If the delegates from the States that have adopted the resolutions abide by their instructions; they must protest against the nomination of either of the prominent aspirants. On the other hand, to nominate a candidate who will endorse the doctrines contained in the resolutions will be the sure way oi driving irom the party thousands ot men who are not willing slavishly to comply with the Southern dictation. Under such circum stances, the Locofoco convention will proba bly experience great difficulty in its efforts to hunt up an "available" man. . Some of the Locofoco editors are giggling over the prospect of dissensions among the Whigs, If they wish to amuse themselves with party distractions, they can do so to their hearts' content by looking into the condition of their own party. There never was a party in which there more adverse currents of opin ion than in the Locofoco party at the present time, and the prospect is that the confusion, instead of giving way to peace and quietness, will become worse confounded. CCf We are preparing with the assistance of a wholesale house in this city, a very full and complete Prices Current, which we . shall publish in a day or two. It will be of great . benefit to 'country dealers,-

CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, -May 5, P. M. . The Senate was vas called to order at 12 o'clock, and proceeded to the consideration of the morning business. Mr Atchison from the Committee on Public Landsi reported a bill gronting certain lands in Missouri for

the construction of a railroad connecting the-Miss-issiopi with the Northern lakes at Chicago. Laid aside. The resolutions passed some days since, inquiring of the President whether any officers now in the service had been appointed by Uie President whose nominations had not been submitted to the Senate, and it so, why such appointments had been made was, on motion ot Mr. Allen, re-considered. . Mr. Allen contended that the Senate had no right to make such inquiries, the President having the constitutional right to make appointments during the recess of Congress. On motion, the subject was laid aside informally. The bill to enable the President to take military possessions of Yucatan, being the special order of the day, was taken up. Mr. Hannegan spoke at some length on the subject. He charged England with interfering in the affairs of Yucatan, by stirring up the Indian population to insurection, and furnishing them with ammunition. Mr. Clayton followed in opposition. He thought that the passage of the bill would be a violation of the treaty now before the Mexican Congress, if not ratified, and lhat it would also, in Lis opinion, be a violation of the armistice. Mr. Davis of Mississippi moved as a substitute that part of the troops now in Mexico be ordered to Yucatan, and that their places bo supplied by volunteers. Mr. Crittenden opposed the bill . Mr. Foote spoke briefly in support. Without action, the Senate adjourned over until Monday. In the House Mr. Stewart offered a resolution in favor of the principles of Gen. Taylor's letters, and adopting the same. Lies over. A communication was received from the relations of DeKalb, in regard to the proposed present of his portrait to the Government, Referred. The House then produced to the consideration of private bills, which occupied the remainder of the day. Antidote to Arsenic. A child at Monteville, near Rouen, not long since swallowed a few pinches of arsenic, thinking it to be flour. It was soon seiz ed with dreadful convulsions, and little hope was entertained of saving its life, when a physician adminis tered hydrated peroxide of iron, which immediately overcame the effects of the poison.
