fkioav i:vr.snc, hhit. a. The Umon in New York. The Whig reactionists, says the Pennylvanian, who have been prating for weeks of the "dissolution of the Democratic party," while the seeds of destruction were at work unnoticed among themselves, are suddenly taken aback by the glorious union ot the Democrats of New York. A bomb-ehe!! thrown into their omnibns could not have created more panic. Greeley is in a perfect fury at the sacrifice; and we presume thfl Washington Republic, which has been exhausting its powers to prevent a reconciliation, will lequire a strait-jacket to keep it from personal attacks upon the offending Democrats. What makes the matter much worse, too, for the followers of the Regency, is the fact that both sections of the Democracy in New York came together upon qua! terms, resolved to give and forgive, to tear and forbear, and by no means to make the slave question a test. fvrOur exchanges come to us iaden with the accounts of tho dismissal of the French Minister, and it probable consequences. The explanation published in the Washington Republic is too long fo-our columns. We have already, however, given the substance of the quairel under our telegraphic head and in extracts from other papers. The question is now cloudy and mysterious. The language of tiie French Minister has been garbled, and, according to the Louisville Democrat, has not been properly translated; besides, there appears to be a disposition to drag the difCusion about the claim of M. Post into this quarrel, although this claim was settled last February, and the offensive note or notes of M. Founpon, complained of, was withdrawn at the time, and that matter finally disposed of. The Washington Union thinks that there is something behind the curtain; that the real cau?e of the difficulty has not been made known; and the Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday morning has the following ar tide from the New Yoik Herald and the l'ennsy lvanian. We thall probably refer to tins fcubject again: Tm French Difficulty The New York Herald says it h;is a full account of the real difficulty between M. Fousson and our government, lut that it is too indelicate for publication! The fact turns out to be, says the Pennsylvania!!, that instead of a diplomatic quarrel, it is actually a quarrel alout a woman! This is a pretty thing to go to war about. The North American ought to feel ashamed of its fire-breathing letters on such a basis. What do we care whether Mr. Clayton wants M. I'oussou's sweetheart, or M. Pousson

O The New York Mirror of the 17th instant has an excellent article oa the results cf extending the boundaries of our republic. It completely dissipates the objections and fears usually put forth against extension, and argues quite conclusively that instead of extension tending to the dissolution of the Union, it beconea its greatest

no one can have cause of dissatisfaction. The foreigner, who voluntarily comes to our shores, and the Mexican who, without his consent, is "annexed" to this country, at once feels the influences which surround him so unusual, and the privileges conferred upon him so grateful to his fueling, that he is at once and forever bound to his new home by the strongest ties. And that man who was bora aa American, would be doubly dyed a traitor, who could raise his voice in other than words of affection for his native land. Let the boundaries of the Uuion, then, be extended; let contiguous territory be incorporated with our own ; let all the keys to our rivers and harbors be secured; let the model republic increase in greatness, until its political, moral and physical power shall be felt throughout the civiiited world.

iLr It is but a few days since a mail was stolen between this city and Geneva, of which nothing has yet been found, nor is there any trace given of the manner in which it was taken. Similar robberies have occurred in various parts of the Union, and letters have been robbed of money in an equally mysterious way. The people who suffer from these depredations have no redress whatever. From the notoriously loose manner of transporting the mails, it is no wonder that thefts occur; the only wonder is that there are not more of them. On the cars, steamers, and mail couches, the mail bags are thrust away in some corner like common merchandise, with scarcely a watch or seal over them, and when found missing there is an exclamation of surprise, a paragraph in the newt-papers, and that is the end of the robbe.-y. Once in a while the robber is caught, but uot until he has made way with the spoils. The theft of money from letters lie with the Post Offices, and is beyond doubt generally official cial theft, but impossible, where a letter passes several stations, to trace it out, or make any party liable for the loss of it. But it is uot impossible to track the mail bags from office to office, or to protect their safe transportation. Every mail carrier, whether an individual or a corporation, should be put under heavy bonds, in proportion to the importance of the mails on his route to deliver the mail safely, and the loss of a mail bag by theft or carelessness, should fall upon those bonds. It is idle to say there can be no check put upon this mail loss and rubbery, and if something is not done check it very soon, the mails may as well be abandoned as worse than useless. N. Y. Sun.

Warrants were issued during the year for a Grand Lodge at Little Rock, Ark.; for Grand Encampments at Southport, Wis., and Providence, R. I.; for subordinate Lodges at Stillwater, Minescta, San Francisco, California, and Quincy, Florida; for subordinate Encampments at St- Charles, lii., Keokuk, Iowa, and Equality, Illinois. The total receipts of the Grand Lodge, from' sources, amount to $13,389 41 ; and after the payment of all appropriations and current expenses, there was a balance in the treasury, on the 13th September, IS49, of $1,163 92, wheh will be much increased by the trdinary receipts of the sessionThe invested funds of the Grand Lodge amount to $16,817, from which a debt of 4,000 must be.

deJucted, but to which must be added the outstanding indebtedness to her, amounting to $31,CO. From the report we also learn that the number of Lodges under the jurisdiction, is 1712; tho initiations during the year, 23,350; the suspensions, 6,926; expulsions. b43; the number of Past Grands, 13,514, Past Grand Masters, 158; the revenue of subordinate Lodges, 3 8 . 0,389 32; contributing members, 132,401; number of brothers relieved, 19,035; number of widowed families relieved, 1687; number of brothers buried, 1162; amount paid for relief of brothers, 242,174 50; amount paid for relief of widowed families, $33,392 33; amount paid foreducation of orphans, $6,732 25; amount paid for burying the dead $51,636 65; total amount of relief, $363,9 3 95. The Secretary, in closing his report, felicitate the Grand Lodge upon the continued prosperity of the vast jurisdiction hich now ai knowledges her as its supreme head, stretching from the Lakes upon the North to the Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific shores, and invokes in behalf of the preservation of so sublime a spectacte, and the maintenance of its unity, tho most profound concern. The Lodge will continue in session for some days yet, much business being before it. Thx Mock Auction Stores ik New Yoik, having proved too much for the municipal authorities of Gotham, a citizen volunteer police, Major Noah says, haa taken the matter in hand : 'They will claim the right to purchase or bid for any article put up; and will also claim the same upon the terms of sale. If tho "Confederates" want to come the ' game" over them, they will meet them on their "own hook," and give them a good thras'nng into the bargain. Our Mayors and rrgular police have tried their hands during the. last four years, and yet these banded bravadoes, that figure in Broadway and Chatham street, have defied their authority by some paltry evasion of tho law. The new police have set on foot a plan that is calculated to crush effectually the whole system cf this body, that have for so long a period swindled both citizens and strangers.
