NEW YORK HERALD. == —== —— New York, Tuesday, Febr “The Douan Weexty Hexaup for this week, will ‘be published this morning at eight e’elock It will contain the latest intelligence in a cheap form, fit to be sent to the country—particul rly the able charge ent in the ease of Colt.

They will form the basis of a reform in every de- partanent of economical and political philosophy— I be of immense use in ef our future disqui- and agriculture. and wil sitions on trade, commerce, Grent Literary Movement, We are making preparations, and will be ready to begin on the Ist of May next, to starta great litera- retry movement, connected entirely with American thought and society, by tke publication of several Magazines, or Periodicals, embracing local and ge- neral literature, science—light reading, mechanics --philosophy, and every species of writing connect- ed with the progress of the humaa mind on this con- tinent. When we get into our new building,at the corner of Nassau and Fulton streets, our arrangements wi!) be onsucha scale, that we shall be enabled to carry out the ideas we have formed for the advancement of American literature, beyond any thing that has yet been imagined. As a part of this plan, we have al- ready begun at this establishment, the publication of the New Youg Lancer, which has been conduc- ted with such talent and energy, that have already placed it, in one short month, in the van of every other medical periodical of the country. A gradual generalization of the same plan, extending to every department of literatare and science, will embrace the following new works,which we intend to start in the course of the present year. y }. Amonthly or weekly magazine for literature amd the ladies ©. A similar magazine for gentlemen—compre- heading a racing calendar. 3. A law periodical, weekly or monthly. 4. A magazine, weekly or monthly, devoted to practical science’ and the arts, includiag the steam engine. 5. A commercial magazine, devoted to com- merce, banking, and political economy. 6. An agricultural magazine, devoted to the prac- tice and science of agriculture. 7. A-religious magazine, devoted to the progress of religion, the rise of sects, and the movements of God upon this latter world—including also educa- Vion in all its branches. These only form a very imperfeet sketch of the project we have in view. All these periodicals will be started, on the same general principles of unti- ring energy aad independence, by which the New York Lancet, a medical journal, has been raised to its present eminence ina month. Their intellec- tual and business operations will be arranged on the same system by which the New York Hera!d has attained such eminence and inflaence among news: papers. Competent editors will be appointed, and contributors always liberally paid. A higher order of intellect and genius will be cultivated through the whole range, than that which mark the present race of periodicals. At present American literature takes the tone and character of English reviews, to an extent that emasculates the mind on this coati- nent. This will be avoided inthe new system. The great error and defect in all attemptsto estab- lish periodical literature oa a permanent footing in thie country, have principally arisen irom the wan' ofa comprehensive sy=tem of pablication, conducted on the exact and methodical principles of business. ‘The cash system on which the Herald has been con- «lueted so successfully, presents the germ of a plan of operations that can be carried out to any exten, in literature, in science, and in art. There is intel- lect and genius inthis country, of every variety and extent, which only require to be called out on busi- nees principles, to create a new literary and scien- lific age, that will outstrip any that has preceded it, and throw Europe into the world of antiquity. The literary and scientific magazines that are now befor the public, are some of them conducted with talent —bur they are isolated efforts, without being govern. ed by those principles of good sense in the manage- ment that can ensure permanency and profit tothe proprietors, or general creditto the age. By great effort they may have a few thousand supporters this year, and in the next, fall offto a few hunared. These are onlya few brief views of a plan which Colt's Trial—The Last Effort—Court of Oyer and Terminer—the Two other Murder Cases, ? Notwithstanding the protracted and exciting na- ture of the late trial of Colt, and the navare of the verdict, rendered in the dead of night of Saturday and Sunday, so excited and diseased has the mind of the populace of this city become ou the subject, that there was a perfect mob of people trying to gain admittance into the Court of Oyer and Terminer again yesterday morning, under a vague and coafus- ed notion that Colt would be present, and that he would be tried over again. Oa the arrival of Alderman Purdy, to complete the organization of the Court, at a quarter past ten, John A. Morrill rose and said—“ If the Court please, in the case of John C. Colt, we are preparing a bill of exceptions, and affidavits in relation to the jury ; and they ask till the next term of the Court, March Rext, to prepare the necessary papers. We have all] been exhausted in this cause, and some time will be required. Jupex—The Court, Mr. Morrill, have already been spoken to on the subject, by Mr. Selden ; they are willing to allow you a fortnight for that purpose. The crowd then dispersed. In the libelcase brought by Judge Noah against James Gordon Bennett, Mr. Morrill requested some further delay, as he had been so occupied with Colt’s trial, that he had not time to prepare himself for the other. The District Attorney said he had no personal ob- jection to this tause geing off to the next term—at the same time ue wished to dispose of all the busi- ness on hand. The Court said they were ready to try that, or any other cause that was ready. Finally, it was postponed for a week. The respective trials of Tappan and of Adams, for murdering their wives, were postponed to the March term of the Court. The Court then adjourned. Highly Important from Philadelphia--Pro. gress of the Bank Revolution, We received yesterday afternoon highly important iaformation, showing the progress of the bank revul- sion, which has now decidedly set in upon Phila- delphia. A terrible state of excitement prevails in that city, which will no doubt soon prevail in Balti- more, Mobile, New Orleans,and every other “ suspen ded city” in jand. These events are the natural re- sults of the dishonesty of the financial clasees—their errors and their regueries. We annex such extracts as are important, refer- ring our readers to the postscript in thisday’s paper, for the events that took place in Philadelphia yes- terday. (From the Philadelphia Chrouicte of yesterday Rus on rie Passyivasia Bank.—On Saturday last the note holders of the Bank of Penusylvania, com- menced a run upon that institution, which was kept up until the time of closing the doors,without abatingyin the least froma perfect flood. The cause wes that several— not all, as has been Seen, stated—of the Banks refusing to receive the notes of the Pennsylvanie. The first move: this step were the Northern, Liberties, the Mechanics’, and the Co jal. The Farmers’ and Mechanics’, the Moyamensing and the Penn Towaship received the notes of the P. eut theday. At the time of closing the doors, we were at the Penn- sylvania Bank, where a great crowd of persons had con- regated both in and aboutthe building, but all left by jegtecs, until the place was e perfect blank. AH inside the building at the time of closing, had their notes changed and departed in quiet. The Bank stood the run nobly, and we believe were it not that to-morrow isthe day on which the interest on the State loan should be aid, the institution would contiaue to redeem, but, un- , under precent circumstances, it is consid. ble not to redeem any more of the notes, and Pee resterivenit Bank will, doubtless, remain closed ylvania Bank through- y This information we obtained last evening, and would caution the public holding notes on the Pennsylvania Bank, notto make a hasty sacrifice, as the effairs of the vorable condition. tate debt which becomes due and payable to-mor: the Pennsylvania Bank, will not be paid. It will jowed to go by default for a few days, and then paid. One of the reasons for deferrin, this payment is the very heavy premium on pete at per cent—and the interest must be paid in spycie or its equivalent. ‘A meeting of all the banks was held on Saturday evening, at which it was decided to receive each others’ notes on deposite, etc. Had this determination existed for the past week, the present state of affairs would not Lave been experienced, e institution present The interest oF hi orsof the Pennsylvania Bank were to hold &@ meetin; ning, (Sunday) but the conclusion to be arrived at, we are assured, would not vary fromthat mentioned above—the bank net to redeem its notes, and the interest on the State losn to remain unpaid for the present. This interest amounts toeight hundred thou- sand dollars. (From the Philadelphia Times.) Run ov the Campers Bank.—Nice Way or Revexmine Notre —Asa matter of history. we record the following fact.

Guodiick to hia’, Tue Baxx Excitement—ine Cries —Saturday was another day of excitement in Philadelphia. Explosions, aud rumors of explosions, among the financiers, were the orderof the day, and the theme of conversation at every cornerand meeting place, and among all classes and pursuits of our citizens, Aroundthe doors, and in the inside of those Banks which enjoy ‘east public con- filence, crowds of pesons assembled, urged by curiosity, while others commenced running them to redeem their notes, Panic sndexcitrment, fed by different rumors, was the consequence, every body expecting the Bank doors to be closed ; but hoppily all were disappointed, for that day at least as they continued todo busin ss un- tilthree o'clock. They must be wil'ully blind to the signs of the times, who do not see that the crisis of Bank financiering ie fast coming upon us. The most indulgent and forbear. ing of our citizens have lost all confidence in them, and are beginning to be uced that procrastination’ and delay only makes them worse instead of better. Their high-handed rule is past toleration; the conduct of several of them within the last few days has been con- temptible, and well calculated to excite the strongest indignation “fied them. An insulted and Ung unity, jaded and worn out with palliations, ,and subterfuges, are rising to the vindicat! their violated rights. Thedays of worthless Banks are numbered, the fiat of the le has gone forth, the hand writing is upon the wall, and wo to that recreant nstitution that does not perceive the fatal revelation. {From the Philadelphia Enquirer.

It is now very probable that we shall have mo severe weather this winter, Last Saturday the thermometer was up te 559 inthe shade, and the streets as dusty as in mid summer. We are not alone in the possession of such mildness. All over the country it appears that the same prevails. At St. Louis, last Wednesday week, the weather was warm, clear and mild as the month of April. The grass was springing up, and the buds putting forth. Every thing en the face et nature betoken spring. Cresby street Surgical Clinique. The excellent Clinique connected with the old Crosby street College,was attended by an overflow- ing audience yesterday, about one third of which was composed of students belonging to the school atthe Siayvesant Institute, who came to reap at this establishment the advantages of which they have been so unceremoniously deprived by their own preceptors. The cases were of a very interesting character— amongst them were several of diseases of the ear, hernia, and other important surgical diseases — dgment is shown in the management of this Clinique. The cases are grouped, and after a few practical remarks on the general nature of the particular affection, the Professor points out the pe- culiarities in the several instances before him, and describes the appropriate treatment which the va- rious sorts of the disease demand.

The Lancet of Sa- turday next will, as usual, contain a report of this Clinique. By the bye, it isan interesting fact that a great number of the country schools have established Ckiniques, and with great success. And yet the school which set this movement a-going, has sud- denly come to a stand-still,and by an almost incre- dible suicidal movement abolishes its Clinique /— We trust the good sense of Drs. Morr and Parri- sow will induce them speedily to re-establish the Clinique—that all the members of this talented facul- ty will forget minor differences and go on, as they began, heart and hand in advancing the great inte- reats of science. We would much rather see such eminent men advancing than retrograding. New Yorx Exrarss—Dasricante Meannnss.— The New York Express, yesterday, copies from the Sunday Herald, without any acknowledgment, the whole of the elaborate and verbatim report of Judge Kent’s charge to the Jury in the case of Colt. This able report was taken down on Saturday last, and written out, by our corps of reporters, in time for the Sunday Herald. H was the only correct report given by any newspaper in the city. Yet the New York Express had the ineflable meanness to copy it from our columns, almost word for word, and ascribed it to their own reporter, when it is well known that neither James G. Brooks, nor any per- son in his empleyment, is capable of giving a cor- Tect report of any speech—any charge—any argu- ment. They have attempted frequently to give re- ports, in rivalry with ours, but have failed in every instance, while they have the unparalleled insolence to depreciate the reports of the Herald, at the very moment they are pilfering them from our columne. The contemptible meanness of this conduct in the conductors of the Express, need only to be stated to be despised by every impartial mind. These mise- rable drivellers in the paper line are always decrying the accuracy and energy of the Herald, in every de- partment of our paper, while they vainly try to imi tate our system, and to tread in our path. But they fail—and hence their utter bazeness and malig- nity. Samuvety-Veccea-1asa.—This delicious, amiable, placid, agreeable, funay, curious, philosophical Movement in society is stillon the advance in Bos- ton.

The Congressional week having ended yesterday, Mr. Adams will have time to turn himself for the storm of next Wednesday, as the House will not be ia session during to-morrow, and next day; ‘the tu- neral of Mr. Senator Dixon, being postponed until Tuesday. A recurrence to the fashionable events of the past week will perhaps give interest toa Jetter.— The gay season is now at its height, and the great number of fashionable persons and beautiful wo- men who are gachesed here from all parts of the country, give additional life, spirit and ornament to the many reunions both by day and night. The fashionables of the city of Washington man- age their entertainments of all kinds, balls, soirees, levees, conversazione and dinner pariies, with more elegant display, more tasteful discrimination, more graceful hospitality, and more unostentatious kind- neasthan any other people in the same situation in the country. The assembly on last Wednesday evening was one of the most splendid and brilliant balls ever wit- nessed in Washington. These balls are given now every fortnight, at the new assembly roome, which have been very handsomely completed since the in- auguration ball. The principal dancing room, which is the largest in the conntry, was blazing with light, aud being well ventilated, there 1s no smoke fromthe wax ‘candles. The supper-room is attached to the bell-room, and is opened at an early hour im the evening, and re- mains so until the close; by this arrangement the dancing ts not interrupted, and there is no crowding at the table. Oa entering the room,after nine o’clock, the danc- ing had commenced; and a single glance at the cem- pany satisfied us that the élite of the metropolis were present. The ladies were all elegantly dressed, and some of them supurb; and the gentlemen, fresh from the caffeure of Palmieri, looked well and were all ready todo the agreeable. The foreign Ministers were all present—we also observed two or three members of the Supreme Court, and a large number of the Senate and House. Lord Morpeth was present 58 an invited guest, and looked very happy while dancing with Madame Bodisco. The style of danc- ing of my Lord, afforded amusement to some of those who are not old enough to remember the steps of twenty years ago. Lord Morpeth entered the room on the arm of Colonel Seaton, the Mayor, and expressed himself agreeably surprised as well as delighted, not only with the atmosphere of every thing around him, and the attentions he received, but also with the unparralleled beauty of the Ameri- cam women, and theghandsome manner the ball seemed to go on, without confusion or any visible machinery, A friend, whose aquaintance is almest universal, and who, like one of Dr. Warren’s heroes, desires todo every thing for every ‘body, walked the writer about the room, pointing out the most distinguished ladies present, and at the same time indicating their peculiar style of loveliness, which a man must have been sand blind not to have observed himeef. “You see that tall, stately girl, in pink crape, dancing with the black-eyed navy officer? Well, that is Miss W——, of Philadelphia. She is niece to the member of Congress—him, you know, who wrote “‘Inchiquire’s Letters,” some twenty years Latest rrom Vanezuea —We have received files of El Siglo to the 7th of January.

Strangers can therefore marry the beautiful young women of that country without chenging their religion. Albany. {Correspondence of the Herald.) Asaxy, Saturday, January 29, 1842. There has been an interesting dehate on the bill to provide for the improvement of the Chemung Canal and feeaer, which developed the eontrariety of opinion existing inthe ranks ef thedemoeratic party, ae to the course to be pursued in regard te the internal improvement policy. Mr. Horrman’s peculiar, and in my humble opinion, just views on the subject, do not appear te be concurred in by the whole of his friends. There are some who, while they profess a strong desire to change the policy of the State in this matter, and to retrench and reform, yet when any local improvement, in which they constituents are directly interested or concerned, their patriotism is fled, and they care not how or by what means the money is raised, so long as it is lavished on their pet project. jis is the case with the Chemung Canal bill. Mr. Hatuaway, from Chemung, took theground that it wae impossible to raise money at this no matter how good thesecurity might be, at six per cent, and by the amendment offered by Mr. Horr- MAN, restricting it to that rate, the bill was utterly ind unsatisfactory. Mr. H. depicted the ce and sufferings of the people along lime of this canal, from the fact of its useless- H ned the House to beware, er their might hear music from that quarter, not quite so pleasing as last fall. Dr. Taytor, of Onondaga, in reply, quoted the money articles of the Herald to show the effect an emission of a seven per cent stock would have up- on the other stocks in market: He would support Mz. Hoffman’s amendment. Mr. Huxsaap, of St. Eawrence, remarked that the majority came here preaching retrenchment and reform, and a change of measures, and it was but right their practice would bs the same. He had no doubt those intertsted in the completion of the Chemung Canal, suffered under all the in- convenience depicted s0 eloquently by the gentle- man fromChemang. The people of the section of the State which he had the honor to represent in part, had for years past been suffering the greatest inconvenience, from the want of means to get their produce to market. They asked last yearfor the smail appropriation of 15,000, to enable them to carry on the northern railroad. From the want of this road, thousands of dollars worth of pro- duce was unable to be got to market. Their and iron mills were rendered useless, and millions of feet of lumber were unable to be got to mar- ket. Yet they knew the State was in debt, em- barrassed, and therefore they did not press their claims. Mr. H. contended that if this bill was to Capt Hewitt, this alternoon, at the Saloon of the Tre- ago.

During the progress of the debate numerous moti were le to rise and report, but a de- ion was evinced by a majority to bring the discussion to a close to-day, but the want of dinner was too strong for some of the members, and the motion to rise was at length successful.

Warner, of Boston, to give a lecture on music, with illustrations, this evening, at the Taber- nacle. In connection with the lecture, several pieces of music will be’performed, taken from Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. The Society have put the price of tickets as low as twenty-five cents, in order to ensure a large sale and.a large audience. They pay the Rev. David Hale, for the use of the Taber. nacle, $50 or $60. The services cf Signor Watson are also engaged,to criticise and blow up the lecturer and the vocalists, but whether he gives his valuable services gratis or otherwise, we have not yet ascer- tained. The interest of the lecture and concert wiil be of a three fold character. First—the lecture is addressed to the mind aad intellect, which willcause intel- lectual pleasure, a sentiment half of heaven and half of earth. Second—the concert, or pieces of music which are addressed through the ear to the heart and affections; this forms a pleasure allied to the hea- venly mansions entirely, and has nothing earthly in it. Third—the criticisms or Signor Watson, in the New World, which have a big broad touch of the same feelings which actuated the gentleman who figst entered Paradise, with his violin under his arm, and, looking askance at Eve when she was pluck- ing an apple and acouple of fresh figs for breakfast, played the reel of ruinand made her dance out o/ Eden into a state of Misery, On the whole, to night will be a great night in philosophy, music and criticism—so, let us all go. y ic, they are willing to let her have a hearing.

An alarm was given in the afternoon, for the purpose, it is presamcd, of getting up e fight. The different companies soon met in Market atreet near Gay, and after arming themselves with brick bate, stones, sticks, clubs, &c., went to work like so many tigers. Not less than three thousand persons were collected in the street, some to look. on, and others to participate in the mob. It was really a most disgraceful scene. Various were the cutheads, broken noses, &c. The pavements were literally strewn with brick bats. The interference of the police, with much difficulty succeeded in quelling the rioters.

Bank Excitement—Injunction on the Bank of Pennays- vania—Run on the Moyamensing Bank— Folly of the* League’? efforts topay the State Interest, &c. Weare still in the midst of great confusion, doubt. and uncertainty, in reference to our banks,and the currency. This morning, as on Saturday the Bank of Pennsylvania was besieged by a of many persons. This institution, you know, stands on Second street, and has a yard in front.— Neither the doors of the bank, nor the gate leading te it, were opened. A notice was posted on them, that an injanction had been applied for on the part of the Commonwealth, and that a motion to appolet a receiver, to take charge of its assets, would be heard on Monday next. Of course, uatil that time it will remain closed, and the State interest due to- morrow will not be paid. So far frem this injune- tion beimg opposed by the bank, it is believed that it was courted by it. As for the two or three days ef the past week, our brokers and business men are in statu quo, from the fact that they are afraid to touch any descrip- tion of our paper currency. The “ ieague” that bas been noticed as formed between the banks, to- pay out their own notes, and create a safety fund, has bad but little effect on tranquilizing the fever- ishness in the public mind. This safety fund, if created, at the best, is but to protect the banks themselves, while the com:mauity is left just as exposed as before. The want of confidence is just as greatas jous toannouncement. Indeed, 1 think it is for it is an admission from the banks, :hat ry hy of credit; and that each will not tak the notes, unless security in the shape of this safety fund is raiced. To raise this safety fund the community see, also, takes from the security which the Banks held to meet their bills in circulation. In a word,the Banks secure each other at the expense of the bill holders. Greater consternation, 1 never before saw inthis city. All business seems to be relinquished, and. the subjedt of currency and bank failures, is the ngrossing theme of all classes.
