NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuestay, March 8, 1642, “To Medical Advertisers, The Lancet now presents the best medium of addressing the medical profession. Its circulation is nearly three thousand copies weekly, and extends to every section of the Umon. Publishers of medical works, surgicel in strument makers, dentists, &c., cannot find a more cesi- rable and useful vehicle for their announcements than this popular periodical. Druggists in the city cunsot in any other way so effectively address country spothe- a great number of whom are practitioners, and subsoribers (o the Lancet, To physicians themselves, who wish to dispose practice, procure assistants, or form partnerships, the ‘Lancet affords unequalled opportunities of extensively communicating with their professional brethren. To professional young men desirous of obtsining situations, the same facilities are offered. The various medical Schools and colleges throughout the Union—conductora of private hospitals and infirmaries, Ke. should also avail themselves of the advantoges thus presented. The Lan- eet now circulates in every considerable city and village throughout the Union. Apyextisinc Termsi—One square, one insertion, $1 60; Each additional insertion, $1; perannum,$15.

The whole city was yesterday thrown again into a high state of excite ment, by the arrival of the fol- Jowing important piece of intelligence from Lock- port. The Lockport Democrat of the 24 instant, states that “a man named Hogan was arresied and brought before Mr. Leonard, Justice of the village, yester- ay, on the charge of participating in the burning of the Caroline. The examination was not concluded when our paper went to press.” In addition, we have been permitted to peruse a private letter to a Canadian exile in this city, of the sime date, from which the following is an ex- A@zact :— “John Sheridan Hegan, one of the Caroline in- waders, about whom there can be no mistake, has been arrested, and will doubtless be committed to take his trial for the part he took in the Schlosser murders. I am told he is clerk to the Sheriff of the Gore District, who was M’Nab’s Lieutenant Colo- nel, opposite Navy Island, and that he was former- dy in M’Nab’s law office, ahd acted as his secretary while at Chippewa, in 1833. He is a good-looking, bold, manly httle fellow—tory and game to the back bone” This will revive the whole question involved in the celebrated M’Leod case. A more important Movement has not taken place for some time. Hogan is one who, we are told, freely admits his connexion ‘with the Caroline outrage,and;throws himself on the protection of the British Government. We learn that Mr. Hogan is a native of Ireland— that he was recently in this city, and stopt several days at the National Hotel,where he expressed some fearslest he should be arrested and detained—and that his companion was Mr. John William Aikman, aon of Michael Aikman, a tory member of the late U.C. Parliament, We are further informed that even Sir Allan MeNab actually passed through this State lately,and has left for London by way of Boston! If this be true, and at present we see no reason whatever to doubt it, our relations with England will look very squally indeed ; and it will require a little more tact and talent thaa even Lord Ashburton pos- seeses, to cause the horizon to look any clearer in that quarter. In addition to the above, we learn verbally by a gentleman from that place, that the excitement at Lockport was truly tremendous. A committee of safety had been! formed, and resolutions had been passed, to the effect, that if it can be proved that Hogan was really ene of the gang that burnt the Caroline, and that the general government thould interfere for the purpose of taking him out of the hands of the State authorities, that Hogan should torthwith be taken forcibly from jiil, as the mob took Captain Porteus at Edinburgh, and that like Porteus he should be hung without loes of time or benefit of clergy. We also learn, that on the an- nounce ment that McNab had passed through Lock- port, over one hundred of the citizens turned out, mounted horses, and put out on the read to Albany, with the hopes of overtaking him. All this looks very ominous, but we do not see how it can be very well helped. We might waste @ great many words in the way of advice, but all to mo purpose; and the only suggestions that are worth not'cing just now, are, for every one to keep perfect- dy cool, and say as little about this subject as possi. ble, until it is first ascertained whether this Irishman mamed Hogan was really one of the gang that burat the Caroline or not. We are very much inclined to think, if he hasbeen bragging about burning the Caroline, that he had nothing to do with the matter. We should look very foolish,after wasting a wonder- dul deal of wisdom, in the shape of advice and !aw questions, and months of time in preparing for, and trying the man, to fiad that after all, like McLeod, he never was there. Let us first of all, as David Crockett said, be sure we've gotthe right man, and then it will be time enough to go ahead. Tue Wie Warp meetings last night were much better attended than usual; and every thing went off with much spirit and energy. If the locefocos don't Jook out, they will lose the city this spring. Important Movements in the Common Council Last Nigkt. By referenee to our regular report of the pro- ceedings of the Common Couneil last night, it will be seen that some very important movements took place in that body during the evening In the first place, a report was presented recom- mending the election of Public School Commis- sioners ; this was’ordered to be printed by an unani- mous vote. The next movement was a re-modelling of the wards, and altering their bounddries, in order to equaliz> the representation in each board. This created a fierce debate. Lastly, came the apjointmeat of Inspectors of Election, in accordance with the Registry Repeal Law. Bat as soon as Inspectors for two wards ‘were appointed, the Joint Ballot was broken up in almost a row, by the whig members leaving the meeting without a quorum. Ma. Dickexs —The immortal Boz and hie charm- ing lady have arrived eafely in Philadelphia, and are stopping at the United States Hotel.

Sacactous asp Humaye Orriciat. —A boy in Ine diana was recently arrested for robbing the mail. While he was in prison, the sheriff entered the room, and levelled a pistol at his head, threatening him with instant death if he did not confess the crime. The bey thought that confession was bet ter than death, 80 he pulled the money out of the lining of his cap, and gave it up. The nextday the boy was seized with epilepsey, and will probable never recover. Fartep—Shelton and Brothers, one of the largest commercial houses in Boston. Tae Yacnt On-Ka-ny-e sailed from Philadelphia last Saturday. She was towed to sea by the iron steamer R. F. Stockton. She has on board the wife of Mr. E. A. Stevens, and some fifteen or twenty others, ftiends of the sick lady, passengers, who accompany her to the West Indies. The yacht is bound to santa Cruz. Mrs. Stevens had been lyingat the Tremont House, Philadelphia, for several weeks, in a critical situation. She was car- tied from the hotel, on Saturday afternoon, to the vessel, on a litter. Letters from Washington state that the proceed- ings under the treaty with Mexico in regard to these claims, in which some of our citicens are largely interested, lave been brought to a premature termi- nation by the extraordinary refusal of the umpire, who is the Prussian Minister, to act upon a number of the cases submitted to him. The claimants were authorised to present their claims to a board of commissioners up to Friday last, and in cases of dis- ecment they were to be referred to the umpire. No limitation ef time was placed upon his action, and it necessarily extended beyond that assigned to the board, because all their decisions (which might be made as late as the 25:h inst.) were liable to be referred to him. Owing to the difficulties of pro- curing testimony, and especially the obstacles thrown in the way by the Mexicans, it was net to be doubted that many of the cases, without any fault of the claimants, could not be acted upon by the board until the close of their session ; nor did the umpire give any notice that he would limit his decisions to cases sent before a particular day. Yet notwithstanding all this, it appears that, arbitrarily, and in violation of his duty as clearly prescribed by the treaty, and actuated only by his own personal convenience, he has refused to decide a number of cases regularly submitted to him by the board. The impropriety of this proceeding is aggravated by the fact that some of the rejected cases are known to be of a character in the highest degree meritorioug, and in which the parties have been for years wait- ing redress. The umpire, as the treaty shows, is paid a large salary, partly by the United States, for transacting the business which he thus unjustly refuses to perform. It does appear to us, that if the facts are such as we understand them to be, the ex- ecutive government ought to interpose and have justice done to our citizens, by seeing that a func- tionary who voluntarily accepts a trust under a treaty, and receives a large compensation for so doing, should not wantonly neglect or deviate from it to the injury of those who have unfortnnately been led to confide in him. We hope that the in- terest of our citizens will be fully guarded by the g-vernment, snd that justice will be done to them at once: they have been waiting long enough for what is due to them. Review of Books, &c, Visirs ro RemaRxaste Praces.—-By William Howitt, second series —Carey § Hart, Philadelphia. —A splendid edition of a most interesting work.— The portions of “ Merrie England” visited by our authorare rich in scenery and legend—in poetry and manners—in history and historic sites. Nor- thumberland and Du:ham—with all their border fame—with their batties and their ballads—are the very strong hold and native ground of English po- pular poetry and romance. The Douglas and the Percy—Chevychase and Otterburne—-are names which not only stirred the heart of Sir Philip Sid- ney, hut are charmed sounds in the ears of all who have asoul for heroic deeds and the age ef chival- rousdaring. The stories andthe scenery of these interesting portions of old England, are here pre- sented with all the chatacteristic vigor and distinct- ness of our author.

The result ef this ri Oe labor is this little volume. We have not had time to examine the book so attentively as to discover the new doctrines of the author, but we observe that he has coined some new words, and attempted the improvements of some old fashioned ones. Dr. S's motives in writing, as expressed in the preface, have been commendable, but we are rather inclined to think that his treatise will not su- persede those of Stewart, Reid, Brown & Co.

Accordingly her father accompanied heron Lucs- day last to Rochesier, and returned to this place on Thursday evening following without bis daughter. What had been before mere conjecture among our peaceable inhabitants, now assumed the reality ; and it was rumored abent the village with a whirl- wind fury, until at length the priest's liege subjects and parishioners kotch’d the fever too. ar ahent eight hundred of them at this time en- gaged upoa the public works here.) Many of them called upon priest Castello. He at first deni- ed the charge ; but at length, as theircalls upon him grew thicker and faster and warmer, in order to save the character and mapntetion of the lady,he admitted the fact. Oa Friday morning some two orthree hundred of his parishioners surrounded his dwelling and demanded the property in his pozsession belonging to the church, including some two orthree thousand dolla; coin, which he claimed a3 his own property, had previously sent it tothe bank for safety. The Sheriff and posse were out, and took pos: sion of pricst Mo and his dwelling, locking him in his own house, and admit counsel to see him, At 9 o’clock on pres 3 ning, the time at which our informant left fo: t xeitement was on the increas were about to be ordered out to ing none but his mor- r the mob and preserve the peace of the cullage Quere—Who married them?

The names of the Grand Jurors wege then called, and the following gentlemen appeared and were sworn:—Thomas Tiltston,foreman, Walter Barnes, Peter Crawford, John C. Coachman, William S. Conley, Ebeuezer R. Dupignac, Terrence Donnelly, William Fardon, Amasa S. Foster, William Foley, George Fickett, ‘Thomas J, Gildersleeve, Archi- bald Hubbard, Zenas Hyde, Samuel N. Jadah, Aaron O. King, Drake Mills, George S Mann, Rebert C. Smith, and Adna H. Underhill—total 20 The Recorper then proceeded to charge the Grand Jury. After alluding to the particular vio- lations of law required to be presented to their no tice by the statute, he pointed out the evil tendant upon the discharge of prisoners from our State prisens under the present course pursued.— That they were left with no means of support, with a stain upon their reputation, without friends, with- out money, and without ‘employment, the result of which was an inducement to again commence a ca- reer of crime, that sooner or later sent them back to fill the place they had recently left. He stated that there were from 1500 to 1000 convicts con- fined in the States prisons of this State during the year, four or five hundred of which were annually discharged. That the receipts from their labor amounted during the past year to $64,865 45, while the expenses were only about $45,000, thus leav- ing a surplus of over $19,000. He therefore re- commended the Grand Jurors to make application to the legislature for a law authorising the payment toeach prisoner when discharged oF the sum of $50, which weuld enable them to support them- selves until employment could be obtained. He then alluded tothe great increase of pauperism in the city, and stated that it was more than in pro- portion to the increase of population. The number of paupers in the State, he observed, was 66,561, while duriag the past year 27,587 were supported by thi ye alone, Ltd nearly half of the whole numbe: je State! He then urged the necessity of employing these paupers in some manner that would tend to yield something towards their sap- pert. That such was the practice in a number of other States, the effect of which was materially to reduce the increase of pauperism wherever such a course had been adopted. He alluded particular! to those paupers confined at the Bellevue Hospital, they being supplied with food and clothing at the public expense without contributing by their labor to relieve the city from the enormous tax levied upon the public After the charge ofthe Reeorder andthe calling of the names of the petit jurors, 33 of whom an- swered, Geonce Gairrex, Esq. one of? the counsel for Amory & Leeds, moved that the Court proceed to the trial of his clients, us partially agreed upon at the past term, when the previous jury were dis- charged Cnartes O'Connor, Esq theassociate counsel of Mr Griffen, stated that his clients were desirous of having the case tried as soon as the court could select the time for that purpo: The Courr stated that owing to the crowded state of our prisons it would be impossible to se- lect any period sooner than the third week of the term which was set down as the period. It has been generally supposed since the termi- nation of the trial at the last term, that the Comt or the District Atterney would enter a nolle pros. in this case, and thus prevent the public from being taxed with the expenses of a suit that should be brought in a civil court, where the prosecutors would be compelled to pay their own expenses in the collec:ion of thoir debts. ‘The first case callei was n trial for grand lar- ceny, in which ayoung man very genteely dressed, named William Hoskins, was placed in the box on an alleged charged of stealing a dress coat, velvet vest, moroceo portfolio, case cf lancets and a cot- ton s! valued at $45, from the room of James P M. Duvis, medical student, who boarded at No. 16 Amity street, on the 24th of February last Anno Larkin, a servant girl who resided with the family, stated that Hosking came to the house on the morn. ing of the 24h, and inquired for Mr. Outlaw, who occupied the same room with Mr. Davis. He was informed that he was notat home. He then went to the room, iz he would wait until he came in, but soen al left the premises without being en by any of the inmates, The clot missed the same evening, and sear g made, they were found in the irunk of Hoskins, in room at the tioward House. The name of Hoskins was on the inside of the collar of the coat at the time it was found in his trunk.

He was defended by Jonas B. Phillips, Esq, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty ef petit lareeny only.
